I have no problem at this point of the government shutting down.It is more of a problem than an asset to the people. What has the government done that can be considered useful.The Border Patrol is Not Allowed to Secure the Border, The Government does not enforce Immigration Laws. Politicians want to give amnesty to illegal immigrants who broke the law so they can take jobs away from Americans looking for work. We are forced to accept and pay for a Health Care plan that is way below substandard. We had this law rammed down our throats. We no longer have no taxation without representation.We have now taxation without hesitation.Obamacare is a prime example.

Grim combat statistics that one military doctor called "unbelievable" show U.S. troops in Afghanistan suffered an unprecedented number of catastrophic injuries last year, including a tripling of amputations of more than one limb.

A study by doctors at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where most wounded troops are sent before returning to the U.S., confirmed their fears: The battlefield has become increasingly brutal. In 2009, 75 service members brought to Landstuhl had limbs amputated. Of those, 21 had lost more than one limb.

As the budget standoff between the Republican controlled House of Representatives and the Democrats reaches a fever pitch, much of the media attention — and frustration — has been focused on reaching a solution to avert a government shutdown.

Two longtime senators on Wednesday made their case that synthetic marijuana is taking an especially heavy toll on troops — and they urged the military to play a bigger role in getting the problem under control.

In a letter last week to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said the drugs "pose a risk to the operational readiness of our armed forces."

The US supreme court has stayed the first scheduled execution of a Texas death-row inmate using pentobarbital. Cleve Foster was to have been executed on Tuesday evening for the 2002 murder of a Sudanese woman in Fort Worth – the first Texas execution since the state switched to pentobarbital in its lethal three-drug mixture.

On Tuesday morning, the court agreed to reconsider its earlier order denying Foster's appeal that had raised claims of innocence and poor legal help during his trial and the early stages of his appeals.

An Israel Defense Forces soldier from a unit made up exclusively of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men was convicted on Wednesday in the Central Military Court of illegal use of a weapon and disgraceful conduct.

The soldier, a member of the Nahal Haredi Brigade unit, was found guilty as a result of photos taken on his cellular phone, in which a Palestinian prisoner was shown tied up. The pictures were discovered when a military criminal investigation team conducted a search for drug use in the unit.

The Center for Public Integrity is reporting that an unnamed former ABC News journalist was an FBI informant during and after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, passing along tips and revealing a source. We know who it is.
