(USA TODAY) Aides to President Obama are criticizing decisions by three states to quarantine people who are returning from Ebola-stricken West Africa.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and United Nations ambassador Samantha Power said quarantines may discourage health workers from traveling to West Africa to help block the disease at its source. (more…)

UPDATE:  Go look at Weasel Zipper’s update to their article on Ebola Nurse  CLICK HERE – You Just Can’t Make This Stuff Up.
The possibility she might be a carrier of a deadly virus seems lost amid the grandiose self absorption.  Sorry, but that’s the message, albeit perhaps unintended, of her protestations. While the “on-the-fly” operational protocols might lend to hurt feelings and tactics devoid of sensitivity-first approaches, they are a direct consequence of the risk being faced – and a lack of national leadership. The “stompy feet” countering narrative is the wrong approach.
Instead, seek first to understand – then, to be understood.    
(Via Dallas News) […] Kaci Hickox – I am a nurse who has just returned to the U.S. after working with Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone – an Ebola-affected country. I have been quarantined in New Jersey. This is not a situation I would wish on anyone, and I am scared for those who will follow me.
I am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airports when they declare that they have been fighting Ebola in West Africa. I am scared that, like me, they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization, fear and, most frightening, quarantine.
I arrived at the Newark Liberty International Airport around 1 p.m. on Friday, after a grueling two-day journey from Sierra Leone. I walked up to the immigration official at the airport and was greeted with a big smile and a “hello.”
I told him that I have traveled from Sierra Leone and he replied, a little less enthusiastically: “No problem. They are probably going to ask you a few questions.” (more…)

This one is a little weird.  One account says the aid worker went through health screening without issue and was isolated as a result of the *NEW* policies in place for New York and New Jersey.  It was only during the quarantine time at the airport she exhibited symptoms of a fever beginning.  A second account says the health screening caught her fever.
New Jersey – One day after New York officials announced a Doctors Without Borders physician had tested positive for Ebola, another person who treated patients in West Africa developed a fever and was put in isolation at a northern New Jersey hospital.

The second health care worker, a woman who hasn’t been identified by name, did not have any Ebola symptoms upon arrival Friday at Newark Liberty International Airport, New Jersey health department spokesman Donna Leusner said.

Yet things changed in the hours that followed. According to Leusner, “This evening, the health care worker developed a fever and is now in isolation and being evaluated at University Hospital in Newark.” (more…)

Most intellectually honest people will admit US Ebola Patient Zero, Thomas Duncan, left Liberia -and came to the U.S.- knowing he was exposed to Ebola.
Duncan Timeline: Exposed 9/15, caught a flight 9/19, arrived U.S. 9/20, first symptoms 9/24, first symptomatic hospital visit 9/25. (Thomas Duncan created case #2 and case #3, both nurses).
The generally accepted belief (also by Liberian authority) is that Duncan knew of his exposure when he left Liberia. He came to the U.S. just-in-case.

Well, what would it indicate if current Ebola case #4, Dr. Craig Spencer, followed an IDENTICAL timeline? Read on…. (more…)

Lost amid the reality we must bathe ourselves in chlorine to avoid upsetting the delicate sensibilities of West Africans is the invisible policy discussion of an illegal war being carried out in Syria.

President Hopey Changey has proclaimed both The War Powers Act, and a 2002 congressional authorization (AUMF) intended against al-Qaeda in Iraq, as the baseline for his legal approach to bombing in Syria.
Apparently, we are to ignore the fact the War Powers Act expired after 30 days, and the AUMF was never granted for Syria.
Of course the actual legal route would require congressional leadership to actually do, well, you know, leadership-type things. Currently neither Senator Turtle, nor the House Crier are willing to interrupt election season -or tanning appointments- to put Syrian authorization measures in front of the peoples representatives for a vote.

Unfortunately those pesky details are not lost on Russia, who reminded Secretary Ketchup as such during a recent chat.
Only in 2014’s fundamental change world does our President put constitutional types in a position where we actually end up in agreement with our arch nemesis, Russia.
(CNSNews.com) – Russia is not a member of the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition because its military actions are “paradoxical” and not in line with international law, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said this week. He pointed out that the coalition and Russia were arming opposing sides in the Syrian civil war. (more…)

NEW JERSEY – Medical workers at University Hospital in Newark have isolated a sick passenger who landed at Newark Liberty Airport from Brussels and are evaluating him “as if he has Ebola” out of extreme caution, sources tell NBC 4 New York.
The man, a Liberian national, was singled out for screening by agents at Newark Tuesday afternoon because of his recent travel history: he had traveled from Liberia to Brussels before flying into Newark, the sources said.
That’s when officers discovered he had a fever, according to the sources. He was transported to University Hospital, which has a contract with the Port Authority to take all of Newark Airport’s medical cases.
Sources briefed on the treatment of the patient said he was being evaluated “as if he has Ebola” out of an abundance of caution and until proven otherwise. (more…)

Rush Limbaugh was the first national personality to point out the strategy President Obama uses to distance himself from his own policies. In essence Obama uses anger directed toward his own administration when the consequences from his policies reach sunlight.
As Rush previously stated, the Obama outrage is phony and only reflected to give himself plausible deniability. It’s not that Obama doesn’t support the policy, he does, the outrage is pure politics.

Previous examples include: Initial faux-anger and outrage over the IRS targeting, which evolves into “not a smidgen of corruption”. Initial faux-anger and outrage over the VA scandal, which evolves into sending a White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Rob Nabors, to Arizona to protect the administration from consequence.
Now the Ebola CDC faux-outrage which requires another White House “political fixer”, Ron Klain, to protect the administration from consequence.  The “outrage” is all part of the strategy.
