[Geaux4it]

Boehner accomplished what he wanted, and there will be no closing of the government over PP.

That is most unfortunate.

[Geaux4it]

Boehner resigned own his on time and in his own way.

He is willing to let you folks fuck things up so badly that when the Dems sweep next year, the party will turn its back on your crazy braying jackasses for good.

Keep thinking that.

Your boy was FIRED for being an Obama enabler

McConnell is next and the purge of Rhino's will soldier on for the good of all people

Who fired him, and how did they do that. Was he called into the HR department?

Yep. He was sent packing.

[Old Rocks]

Yes, Boehner's retirement will definately do the Wingnut division of the GOP good. Now they will be emboldened, and act in an even more stupid manner than they have in the past. And the GOP will lose big in 2016 because of that.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Old Rocks, good to see you.

Boehner, I think is doing just that: it's going to take a massive thumping next year to make all GOP realize that the far reactionary right are in fact pushing anti-American agendas.

 

[Old Rocks]

Yeah, Jake, I think you are correct. I hope that happens. At one time I voted independent, then the GOP went to the religious right. I would like to be able to vote for people such as Tom McCall in the Republican Party. Perhaps we will see the Eisenhower Republicans gain ascendency after these wingnuts go down in flames.

That's silly. You might be glad he did, but it was his decision. If he wanted to remain as Speaker, he would be Speaker at least until there is another election.

No, he was pressured out for being an Epic failure ....... just like Snow....... just like Obama

Next we're focusing on McConnell. That mashmouth makes Kerry sound like he speaks clearly.

That's it..... They're a failure to pressure Obama and instead, doing his bidding,

Awesome. Go4it thinks the numbers are on his side.

That might be the first thing you've said here that makes me think you are living in the same world as sane people. You know that people who think like you.......nutbags who'd vote for a guy like Ted Cruz.....are in the minority......and losing support with every passing cycle.

The bravado that you expressed in earlier posts is, therefore, weird. Isn't it?

HHS Boosting Nation's Stockpile of Burn Treatments in Case of Nuclear Attack
October 1, 2015 | - "The detonation of an improvised nuclear device would produce intense heat, resulting in many patients with severe burns," says a September 30 news release from the Department of Health and Human Services.

The announcement says HHS has contracted for the development of "four novel products to treat severe thermal burns." The products will boost the number of treatment options in case of disaster, and they'll also be used in "routine" burn care situations. The four treatments -- one commercially available right now and three in development -- "will be added to the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) or managed by vendors to help protect people from burn injuries resulting from radiological and nuclear threats," HHS said.

The announcement notes that burns stemming from a nuclear attack may require surgial skin grafting that is "resource intensive and technically demanding." And with only 127 burn centers nationwide, a "mass casualty" incident could "easily overwhelm the nation’s burn care infrastructure." “To protect health and save lives from the impacts of multiple types of disasters, we have to address critical challenges in burn care,” said Robin Robinson, Ph.D., director of HHS's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). “These products are intended to offer greater options and help create a continuum of care in a mass casualty incident; together they have the potential to eliminate resource-intensive steps, shorten hospital stays and improve patient outcomes.”

The announcement comes at a time of heightened concern about national security in general and the threat of foreign terrorist fighters in particular. A currently available treatment called Silverlon, manufactured by Argentum of Geneva, Ill., is described as a "long-acting, silver-impregnated nylon bandage that can be used to cover first- and second-degree thermal burns. HHS said Silverlon could help burn patients before they get surgical treatment for their injuries in the hospital. The five-year contract for delivery of Silverlon is valued at $20 million. The other three products are being developed in federally funded clinical studies.

They include:

Glad its not the end of the world for you Jakey Fakey since we showed your boy Boehner the exit.

The purge will soon be complete.

McConnell is next

Good times indeed

-Geaux

One step closer to giving Dems control of everything. It won't be long. Maybe next year, maybe it will take until 2020 but it's coming.

Extremists tryin' to get their hands on nuclear material...

Nuclear Smugglers Tried Selling Radioactive Materials to Extremists
Oct 07, 2015 -- In the backwaters of Eastern Europe, authorities working with the FBI have interrupted four attempts in the past five years by gangs with suspected Russian connections that sought to sell radioactive material to Middle Eastern extremists, The Associated Press has learned. The latest known case came in February this year, when a smuggler offered a huge cache of deadly cesium -- enough to contaminate several city blocks -- and specifically sought a buyer from the Islamic State group.

Criminal organizations, some with ties to the Russian KGB's successor agency, are driving a thriving black market in nuclear materials in the tiny and impoverished Eastern European country of Moldova, investigators say. The successful busts, however, were undercut by striking shortcomings: Kingpins got away, and those arrested evaded long prison sentences, sometimes quickly returning to nuclear smuggling, AP found. Moldovan police and judicial authorities shared investigative case files with the AP in an effort to spotlight how dangerous the nuclear black market has become. They say the breakdown in cooperation between Russia and the West means that it has become much harder to know whether smugglers are finding ways to move parts of Russia's vast store of radioactive materials -- an unknown quantity of which has leached into the black market. "We can expect more of these cases," said Constantin Malic, a Moldovan police officer who investigated all four cases. "As long as the smugglers think they can make big money without getting caught, they will keep doing it."

Former Moldovan police investigator Constantin Malic pauses during an interview in Chisinau, Moldova. In 2009, Malic was a 27-year-old police officer when he first stumbled upon the nuclear black market.​

In wiretaps, videotaped arrests, photographs of bomb-grade material, documents and interviews, AP found a troubling vulnerability in the anti-smuggling strategy. From the first known Moldovan case in 2010 to the most recent one in February, a pattern has emerged: Authorities pounce on suspects in the early stages of a deal, giving the ringleaders a chance to escape with their nuclear contraband -- an indication that the threat from the nuclear black market in the Balkans is far from under control. Moldovan investigators can't be sure that the suspects who fled didn't hold on to the bulk of the nuclear materials. Nor do they know whether the groups, which are pursuing buyers who are enemies of the West, may have succeeded in selling deadly nuclear material to terrorists at a time when the Islamic State has made clear its ambition to use weapons of mass destruction.

The cases involve secret meetings in a high-end nightclub; blueprints for dirty bombs; and a nerve-shattered undercover investigator who slammed vodka shots before heading into meetings with smugglers. Informants and a police officer posing as a connected gangster -- complete with a Mercedes Benz provided by the FBI -- penetrated the smuggling gangs. The police used a combination of old-fashioned undercover tactics and high-tech gear, from radiation detectors to clothing threaded with recording devices. The Moldovan operations were built on a partnership between the FBI and a small team of Moldovan investigators -- including Malic, who over five years went from near total ignorance of the frightening black market in his backyard to wrapping up four sting operations. "In the age of the Islamic State, it's especially terrifying to have real smugglers of nuclear bomb material apparently making connections with real buyers," says Matthew Bunn, a Harvard professor who led a secret study for the Clinton administration on the security of Russia's nuclear arsenal.
