Thank You Ewell Hunt, Franklin County Sheriff -- May You RIP

Roanoke Times, Former Franklin County Sheriff Ewell Hunt dies at 60

http://www.roanoke.com/news/former-franklin-county-sheriff-ewell-hunt-dies-at/article_8a42c4fb-41cd-52ce-adee-a92e416eb27b.html
The editors and their reporter at the Roanoke Times published a self-authored and self-initiated obituary of former Franklin County Sheriff Ewell Hunt that is a disgusting post-mortem character assassination of a fine public servant who devoted 32 years of his life to the welfare and safety of his community.
Ewell Hunt placed his welfare and safety in harms way for the people of his community for 32 years. He was an outstanding police office and public servant.
-
For those who wish to honor his memory I recommend you read the article in the Franklin News Post:
Former Franklin County Sheriff Ewell Hunt dies at 60
http://www.thefranklinnewspost.com/news/former-franklin-county-sheriff-ewell-hunt-dies-at/article_a7f1f982-4fd6-11e5-92a6-af7de406afa5.html

Ewell Hunt left legacy of sincerity, dedication

We all know that Ewell had issues during his four years as Sheriff. It is disgusting that the Roanoke Times would dedicate a major article to these issues as part of “their self-serving obituary” of him is beyond the pale. These were primarily issues of omission and leadership shortfalls that did not involve violations of his oath nor did they enrich Ewell in any way.

This is a time of reflections on a fine, kind, and good person who served his community to the best of his ability.

God Bless Ewell Hunt, may you rest in peace!

-
Clearly, the editors and reporter of the Roanoke Times owe Ewell’s family, friends and associates an apology.

Obama Avoids Mendenhall Glacier’s Lessons On “Natural” Global Warming

Roanoke Times, 8-31-2015, Pg 3: Obama To Anchorage Alaska: Renames Mount McKinley, highest mountain peak in North America, back to original name Denali.

-
Obama hypes the Alarmist chant of manmade global warming in Alaska while avoiding Juneau, the capital of Alaska, location of Mendenhall Glacier and it’s very visible scientific evidence and data about “Natural” Global Warming!
-
The Mendenhall Glacier’s recorded history of retreat from near Juneau, the capital of Alaska, up the valley to the current visitor’s center is the irrefutable data that demonstrates “Natural” Global Warming started in the 1700’s and was the cause of the end of the Little Ice Age and the onset of Northern Hemisphere Glacial Retreat.
-
During the 200 years from 1750 to 1950, well before significant increased atmospheric CO2, Mendenhall retreated two and one-half (2-1/2) miles up Anka Street without benefit of CO2, natural or manmade.
-
The Mendenhall Visitors Center’s Glacial Retreat map overlaid with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s CO2 graphic is clear evidence that the current hypothesis about manmade CO2 being the cause of glacial retreat and global warming leaves much to be explained.
-
-

-
-
Detailed graphics of additional glacier retreats can be viewed within a Slide Show at:
http://roanokeslant.org/AGW-Skeptic2D/
-
Scientific Papers on The Mendenhall Glacier include:
Glacier Fluctuation for Six Centuries in Southeastern Alaska and Its Relation to Solar Activity

-
THE END OF THE LITTLE ICE AGE, MENDENHALL GLACIER, JUNEAU, ALASKA
https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2001CD/finalprogram/abstract_3405.htm
This article also explains why glacier melting and retreat, once started, accelerates as additional heat-absorbing materials are exposed to the atmosphere and sun without any assistance from CO2.
-
-
The non-association between atmospheric CO2 and global warming is also evident in the NASA global temperature data showing less than one degree warming for past 250 years and showing insignificant warming during the past 18 year period of increased atmospheric CO2.

Smith Mountain Lake Virginia In Mourning And Reflection

The people of SML are shocked and saddened by the wanton killing of Roanoke WDBJ7 employees, Alison Parker, 24, and Adam Ward, 27, and the wounding of Vicki Gardner, 62, executive director of the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Our community has joined in expressing our condolences to the families, friends and coworkers of the victims of this tragedy.

-
-
-
Personal commentary: This tragedy was ultimately the result of misdirected hostility, failed anger management, faulty employment political correctness and undiagnosed mental illness all accumulating into the ill mind and hostile actions of a mentally dysfunctional young man Vester Lee Flanagan II, aka Brice Williams.
-
-
“Vester Lee Flanagan was a popular teenager, a model for Macy’s department store as a young man, and appeared to be a successful reporter at local television news stations in California and across the American south. But away from the studio lights, his journalism career was troubled, marked by office disputes and legal complaints he filed that alleged racism at newsrooms in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2000 and in Virginia last year.”
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/26/vester-lee-flanagan-virginia-tv-news-shooter
Flanagan’s hostility also carried-over into his daily experiences like driving.
Video shows Virginia gunman Vester Lee Flanagan in July road rage incident
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/video-show-vester-lee-flanagan-road-rage-incident-article-1.2338610
-
-
The “faulty employment political correctness” resulted in WDBJ7 management not getting a valid picture of Flanagan’s issues from prior employers but instead they got letters of recommendations.
One can presume that prior employers were intimidated by Flanagan’s prior race and sexual-orientation based complaints to the Federal EEOC and court lawsuits; it was easier and “safer” to just pass him along to the next job.
-
This same “faulty employment political correctness” was integral to the Army’s Fort Hood Radical Muslim Terrorist:
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2009/11/radical-muslim-terrorists-in-us.html
-
This same “faulty organizational political correctness” was integral to the Virginia Tech VT massacre:
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2012/03/virginia-tech-shooting-revisited.html
-
The inability of the mental health system to handle imminent dangerous situations was highlighted by the Va Delegate Deeds And His Sons Mental Health violence.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2014/03/deeds-and-mental-health-dilemma.html
-
-
Sadly consistent with these misguided actions are Gov. McAuliffe’s initiatives to remove the question, “have you ever been convicted of a crime” from all Virginia Government job applications.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/04/virginia-hides-criminal-history-from.html
Obama is demanding this same misguided action on ALL job applications.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2012/04/obama-administration-says-not-to-worry.html
-
-
Perhaps the current Homeland Security motto should be used for all observed disturbing behaviors:
“If you see something, say something”!
Not clear to who and then what they will do and what repercussions and risks will come back to haunt you.
Evil exists and manifests itself through ill, ignorant, and misdirected persons.
What a sad reflection on our people, our society and our country.

Sweet Briar’s Faculty Subsidy And Benefit Program

Roanoke Times, 8-24-2015, Pg 8: Saved for now, Sweet Briar looks for a long-term solution.

8-25-2015, Pg 3: After a summer of turmoil, students return to Sweet Briar.
8-26-2015, Pg 6: Editorial: Sweet Briar reopens with 248 students
-
The Saved for now situation:
$16 Million misdirected out of the escrow funds against the donors “Wills”
-
248 students
That’s $65,000 per student from raided-escrow isn’t it?
-

248 students paying $40,000 tuition

That’s a total of $105,000 per student isn’t it?
And that’s not counting the major alumni cash infusion
-

95 faculty and 300 students

That’s one (1) faculty for every (3) students isn’t it?
-
Only an all-girls liberal arts college promoted by NOW, The Progressives and the Pravda Press could call this:
“Saved for now”!
Who is really being “saved”?

Katrina New Orleans Plus Ten Years And Lessons Not Learned

Roanoke Times, 8-26-2015, Pg 3: New Plan: Let the water stay

-
Seems like everyone who is anyone beat a path to New Orleans for the 10 year Katrina anniversary.
All, including Obama, were touting the hundreds of millions of taxpayer money spent on infrastructure and facilities and housing.
-
No one seemed to notice that Katrina was only a Cat-3 when it hit and that future Cat-4’s and 5’s are sure to happen, so, why are we, the taxpayers, “investing” in reclaiming properties like Ward-9 that lie below sea-level?
-

Ward-9 was historically a swampland and should never have been developed and redeveloping it now with taxpayer funds is clearly a form of malfeasance.

People can and should be relocated to a better situation for their health, welfare and future benefit, that is, if you really believe that: “All Lives Matter”!

"In a city plagued by chronic unemployment and crime and guarded by a dwindling police force, residents of Detroit are increasingly taking protection of themselves, their families and property into their own hands. Those who do so responsibly have the blessing and backing of Detroit Police Chief James Craig.
“When you look at the city of Detroit, we’re kind of leading the way in terms of urban areas with law-abiding citizens carrying guns,” Craig said recently"

Obama Launches Yet Another Jihad Against Fracking

Roanoke Times, 8-19-2015, Agency aims to reduce methane, The EPA announced a rule that would limit the potent greenhouse gas, the energy industry opposes the plan.

-
-
Damn those Frackers! They’re producing massive amounts of oil and gas on private lands in an amazing short amount of time and in direct contravention to Obama’s cell phone and pen. Notice the word “potent” in the headline – fits right in with flatulation a major source of potent methane and also CO2 every time we breathe out.
-

This Fracking is an abomination because it keeps the cost of energy down making so-called “alternatives” astronomically expensive.

Bill Gates: Renewable’s Cost Astronomical – Switch Green Subsidies To R&D
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/07/bill-gates-renewables-cost-astronomical.html
-
The Good News: The Obama Jihad against fossil fuels continues to face major obstacles:
-
* There is no global warming for the past 18 years from man or nature per NASA.
-
* There is less than one degree in warming over the past 250 years as we exit from The Little Ice Age circa 1776 per NASA. This very moderate natural-variation warming does not correlate to CO2 from man or nature.
-

* There is no scientific basis for predicting catastrophic climate change from consuming fossil fuels and the so-called computer models are totally inconsistent with the NASA temperature records.

* The Gore-Mann-AGW-hockey-stick thermal run-away upon which the entire Inconvenient “Truth” was based has been belied by Mother Nature – Inconveniently, there is no hockey-stick and therefore the hypothesis is just “schtick”!

* The “alternative” options are expensive, intermittent and unreliable and do not support utility service at 24/7/365 availability.

* Tax-payers now know that tax subsidies are the stilts upon which “alternative” sources are being built, maintained and supported.

* In spite of Obama and his Pravda Media, the majority of the public now understand that “consensus by tax-grants is not science”, the temperature data does not support the hypothesis and the proposed “alternatives” are not ready for prime time utility systems.

Obama Says Iran’s Ayatollahs Will Play Nice Now

The primary US economic spark-plug is the low cost oil and gas from Fracking on private lands, a process Obama and his minions have desperately tried to marginalize and eliminate.

Hillary Slow! Really? How About Challenged?

More Bad Email New News for Hillary and Friends (8-18-2015):
-
More than 300 of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails — or 5.1 percent of those processed so far — have been flagged for potential secret information, the State Department reported to a federal court Monday as the political furor continued to grow for the Democratic presidential candidate and her aides.

Roanoke Times, 8-15-2015, Pg 3: Clinton may have been slow to secure classified emails found in May.

-
Hillary Slow? Who wrote this headline? Hillary’s press secretary?
And it’s not just the Emails found in May!
And it’s not just the Top Secret Emails found by the IG!
Her entire term as Secretary of State she used a jerry-rigged Best Buy server located in the basement of her house for ALL her official State Dept. Business that includes the most sensitive of the administrations communications.
-
-

Based on her hundreds of trips and self-proclaimed involvement in every contentious international issue for the past 6 years, clearly there were thousands of classified Emails passing into and out of her Email system.
-
Under threat of a subpoena, Hillary relinquished her thoroughly erased, scrubbed and bleached server. Talk about the destruction of evidence in a criminal case!
Wouldn't that be a felony if you or I did that?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/08/15/fox-news-poll-voters-say-clinton-lied-about-emails-put-us-at-risk/
-
“A Fox News poll released Friday finds a 58 percent majority thinks Clinton “knowingly lied” when she announced in a March press conference that no emails on her private server contained classified information
And over half of independents, 54 percent, feel Clinton put the U.S. at risk.”

Perhaps it’s time for a “relief pitcher” to warm-up in the "bull"-pen:

Ex-officials prosecuted for mishandling gov’t info see ‘double standard’ in Clinton case
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/08/17/officials-double-standard-in-clinton-email-scandal/?intcmp=hpbt1
Ex-officials who were prosecuted and had their lives upended for allegedly mishandling sensitive records are accusing the Obama administration of a "double-standard" in its approach to the Hillary Clinton email scandal.
This administration has charged more people under the Espionage Act, a World War I-era law once used to go after major breaches, than any other in history.
