Generally I start bookmarking links in the afternoon and continually check right up until post time. Obviously the spread of the ebola virus is a growing danger along with the enterovirus D-68 which has been traced to illegals crossing the border. Political campaigns are starting to get desperate and there was another shooting in St. Louis when the police shot an innocent black youth named Vonderritt myers Jr.,who was reportedly just holding a sandwich which turned out to be a 9MM Ruger which he fired at police three times before it jammed as they exchanged fire. Apparently the protocol in Missouri is that the police are supposed to allow themselves to be murdered just so the blacks don’t get upset. More on that to follow.

Unrest in St. Louis After Police Officer Shoots, Kills Man
The officer approached a group of men. One of the men took off running, Dotson said, so the officer pursued. Dotson said the suspect approached the officer in an “aggressive” manner, with a physical altercation occurring. The man then turned and fired three rounds at the officer before his gun jammed, Dotson said.
The officer, who was not injured, returned fire, shooting 17 times and fatally wounding the man, Dotson said.

Deadly Enterovirus D68 First Identified in Cities With Large Numbers of Relocated Illegal Immigrants
The polio-like EV-D68 virus claimed its fifth life in the US
enterovirus
The deadly enterovirus D68 was first identified in cities with large numbers of relocated illegal immigrant children.
The origin could be entirely unrelated.
However, a study published in Virology Journal, found EV-D68 among some of the 3,375 young, ill people tested in eight Latin American countries, including the Central American nations of El Salvador and Nicaragua, in 2013.
Though the U.S. government is keeping secret the locations of the illegal immigrant children, there are significant numbers of them in both cities in which the current outbreak was first identified, Kansas City, Missouri and Chicago, Illinois, according to local advocates and press reports.

WaPo investigation finds pre-2012 election intimidation of inspector general and cover-up by Obama White House
…new details drawn from government documents and interviews show that senior White House aides were given information at the time suggesting that a prostitute was an overnight guest in the hotel room of a presidential advance-team member — yet that information was never thoroughly investigated or publicly acknowledged.
“We were directed at the time . . . to delay the report of the investigation until after the 2012 election,” David Nieland, the lead investigator on the Colombia case for the DHS inspector general’s office, told Senate staffers, according to three people with knowledge of his statement.
Nieland added that his superiors told him “to withhold and alter certain information in the report of investigation because it was potentially embarrassing to the administration.”

Major Garrett Hot Mic Moment On Ebola – Says “We’re Screwed” Then Finds “Stupid Mic”
It could happen to anybody, as Major Garrett just learned in an incident in the White House briefing room. The topic had moved to the Ebola outbreak, which is still being downplayed as a non-threat worthy of virtual non-response by our ever feckless administration.
Usually the rational determinations of those who report on these types of things are kept to themselves. Today, Mr. Garrett’s true feelings came out in the form of a hot mic moment in which he was speaking to his fellow journalists.

In Wednesday’s debate, Roberts accused Orman of supporting amnesty after Orman tried to convince voters that he did not. The Kansas City Star reports that Orman does indeed support “a path to citizenship for some of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants now in the U.S.”

Embattled House Democrats Turn Against Nancy Pelosi
She has long been among Republicans’ top targets, but some of her own now see value in turning against their leader.
Three Democrats running in GOP-leaning House districts have used late-stage television ads in a bid to distance themselves from the liberal leader of Democrats’ House caucus—the same caucus they’re fighting to join in 2015.
“Here’s what I believe: Congress is broken,” says Gwen Graham, one of the Democratic Party’s top recruits, in a recent TV ad as a photo of Pelosi and House Speaker John Boehner flashes on the screen. “Both parties—Republican and Democrat—are to blame. And both need new leaders in Washington.”

BROKEN DREAM: EMOTIONAL AD HITS DEMOCRATS FOR YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT
A dramatic new political advertisement underscoring the plight of unemployed Millennial voters is taking aim at vulnerable Democratic senators who aligned themselves with President Barack Obama’s economic policies.
The ad, sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, takes a striking new approach to economic messaging, one that replaces the usual blizzard of statistics and jargon with the forlorn faces and emotional angst younger voters—and, by extension, their parents—are experiencing in today’s hostile jobs market.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. The majority did not explain its action.
PS: Two formal dissents. Two. The Left couldn’t even get the tattered dignity of a five-four split. Guess Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer value their long-term reputations more than Ginsburg and Sotomayor do…
