Update:  Correction because it was not a nursing home.  Also, a new report shows the woman had a DNR of some sort, but the DNR was unknown to the facility caregiver until after the event described below.  Does that change the decision not to provide care?

What the flip is wrong with people?    Seriously?   An elderly woman in an nursing home, assisted living facility collapses from a heart attack.   The caregiver states it is against company policy to help her by providing CPR – the 911 Operator is begging her, anyone, to help her.

No-one does !

A 911 dispatcher pleaded with a nurse at a Bakersfield, Calif., senior living facility to save the life of an elderly woman by giving her CPR, but the nurse said policy did not allow her to, according to a newly released audiotape of the call.

“Is there anybody there that’s willing to help this lady and not let her die?” the dispatcher asked in a recording of the 911 call released by the Bakersfield Fire Department.

“Not at this time,” the nurse said. (more…)

Hey Ketchup Boy, ask yourself why the democracy movement, the real freedom seekers, in Egypt were protesting your visit?    Ask yourself why is it needed for this administration to send the Muslim Brotherhood fighter jets when they have already asserted their willingness to ignore the Camp David peace accord with Israel?   Ask youself how is it possible for Iran to ship long-range rockets through Egypt to Gaza?   You are an embarassment to anyone around the world who advocates for freedom.   Go spit !

SECRETARY KERRY: No, I heard very passionate people who are deeply committed to Egypt and to their version of the democracy that they fought for in their revolution. And I completely understand that. I wanted to hear from them. I explored their strategy and thoughts. (more…)

Keep in mind the Democracy movement, the ‘opposition party’ in Egypt, refused to meet with or talk to John Kerry.   What does that tell you about this administration?  Pay no attention to the suicide vested jihadis’ behind the curtain that backdrops Kerry and Morsi’s handshake.

And to further illustrate the point – please refresh on the December 2011 visit with then Senator John Kerry, and the same newly elected Mohammed Morsi:

[…]  Morsi reportedly assured his visitors that no major changes ‎would be made to Egypt’s constitution or to current investment ‎laws.

He added that there were several principles that all ‎Egyptian political forces agreed must be enshrined in Egypt’s ‎national charter, including those concerning civil rights and ‎general freedoms. However, he stressed that the section of the ‎constitution related to presidential authorities would likely be ‎subject to amendment.‎

Morsi further assured his interlocutors that – in light of Egypt’s ‎central role in the Arab, Islamic and international arena – it would ‎respect all international treaties to which it was signatory, adding ‎that the US could play an important role in achieving political ‎stability and economic recovery for several nations of the ‎region.  (again, this was 2011)

Now To Today….

CAIRO (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday rewarded Egypt for President Mohammed Morsi’s pledges of political and economic reforms by releasing $250 million in American aid to support the country’s “future as a democracy.”

Yet Kerry also served notice that the Obama administration will keep close watch on how Morsi, who came to power in June as Egypt’s first freely elected president, honors his commitment. (more…)

Seriously?    It’s come to this…..

MARYLANDISTAN –  7-year-old Maryland boy was suspended from school for two days for shaping a breakfast pastry into what his teacher thought looked like a gun, according to his father.

FoxBaltimore.com reports that Josh Welch, a second-grader at Park Elementary School in Baltimore, was eating a strawberry tart when he decided to shape it into a mountain.

“All I was trying to do was turn it into a mountain but, it didn’t look like a mountain really and it turned out to be a gun [kind of],” Josh told the station. (more…)

Presidential pardons always represent somewhat of a conundrum.   While I actually agree with the pardon in this case because it is a freedom principle, this one seems particularly odd against the backdrop of Obama’s current gun restriction proposals. In essence he’s now pardoning a man who was convicted of the same crimes he’s proclaiming need to be more strictly enforced?

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama issued his first series of presidential pardons today, including one for a man who was convicted of possession of an unregistered firearm.

Larry Wayne Thornton of Forsyth, Ga., was sentenced to four years of probation for “possession of an unregistered firearm” and “possession of a firearm without a serial number.”

He is one of 17 people pardoned today.

The pardon comes as Obama is emphasizing, as part of his gun control push, the need to know who is buying weapons. (more…)

Daryl Hannah must be seriously wounded

WASHINGTON DC – TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline will not harm the environment, the State Department — in a blow to environmentalists who want to block the project — wrote in a newly-drafted report on the latest proposed route.

“[T]he draft Supplemental EIS concludes that approval or denial of the proposed Project is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development in the oil sands, or on the amount of heavy crude oil refined in the Gulf Coast area,” the State Department draft report says, as Think Progress noted.

(Reuters) – Michigan Governor Rick Snyder on Friday formally declared Detroit in a fiscal emergency and said he had identified a top candidate to take over financial management of the destitute city.

The declaration virtually assures that the state of Michigan will assume control of Detroit’s books, though Snyder was careful to say there is still a window of 10 days for city leaders to convince him otherwise.

“I believe it’s appropriate to declare the city of Detroit in financial emergency,” Snyder told a forum of community leaders at a Detroit public television station.

Detroit has faced the steepest population decline of any major American city in recent decades. Once the fifth largest U.S. city, which shone as the birthplace of the U.S. automotive industry and Motown music, it now ranks 18th in size with about 700,000 people – after suffering a 25 percent decline in population between 2000 and 2010.

That post title was actually a comment in regard to the video below – it made me laugh so hard I’m almost embarrassed to admit,…. almost.

There was an award show in North Carolina for “Hip Hop” fashion.   What follows is footage from the event:

I have no idea what the fight was about, and honestly I don’t care. I couldn’t take my eyes off the husky young woman hiking her stretch pants up, picking up an entire eight foot banquet table and throwing it – all the while never dropping her pocket book!  Yet, if that weren’t impressive enough, she catches two chairs that get thrown at her after that!

What happens when you blend the DNA of a Prog, a petri dish of rabid leftist drool, the ink stained latte’ cups from a complicit-water carrying media, a screaming chicken little, and a boy child affirmative action community organizer -turned Potus- addicted to spending on his social welfare programs and elitist rich pals via crony capitalism?

You get this….

See how desperate they have gotten here.

Yet, anyone who questions the insufferable and profoundly silly claims of the end of the world gets this: (more…)
