The Next Generation of Surveillance - Campaign for Liberty

The Next Generation of Surveillance - Campaign for Liberty: "ARGUS-IS, or Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System, is an unmanned drone that wields a 1.8-gigapixel video camera that can distinguish objects as small as six inches from a 22,000 foot altitude. This high resolution makes ARGUS capable of viewing 15 square miles at one time, meaning it’s powerful enough to observe a medium-sized city."

How President Obama Lost His Shirt to John Boehner - Forbes: "Who would have ever guessed that we could make 99% of the Bush tax cuts permanent? When we had a Republican House and Senate and a Republican in the White House, we couldn’t get that. "

"Yet his biggest win may have been in making the Alternative Minimum Tax patch permanent. This changes the baseline with profoundly positive implications for future tax reform and economic growth."

"Mr. Boehner says he has significant Republican support, including GOP defense hawks, on his side for letting the sequester do its work."

Indiana couple fights charges over rescuing injured baby deer | Fox News

Indiana couple fights charges over rescuing injured baby deer | Fox News: "Jeff Counceller says a dying fawn he found on someone's porch three years ago surely wouldn't have lived had he and his wife not nursed it back to health on their eastern Indiana farm. The Connersville police officer insists they had no clue that they could be breaking the law.

The couple's good deed put them at odds with the state Department of Natural Resources, and prosecutors earlier this month charged Jeff and Jennifer Counceller with illegal possession of a white-tailed deer, a misdemeanor that carries up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine."

"it's bad for a deer to become acclimated to humans because they can become too trusting and easy prey for hunters."
So it's better to just let it die?!?

Sen. Paul Statement on Sandy Supplemental Bill | Rand Paul 2016 | U.S. Senate

Sen. Paul Statement on Sandy Supplemental Bill | Rand Paul 2016 | U.S. Senate: "The bill was completely unpaid for, adding billions to the debt with money being used for programs known to fund cultural festivals and public art exhibits. In addition, of the $60 billion in total disaster funding provided, only a small fraction will be spent this year; more than half will be spent after 2015. Furthermore, while the cost of this bill will never be offset, the government will still just have spent every dollar of this year’s tax hike. We can help those in need, but we should do so providing them with only the resources they need today and prioritizing this funding by reducing spending elsewhere."
