20 Month Old Ayla Reynolds Missing Since 12/17/11 in Waterville, Maine

MISSING IN MAINE …

20 month old Ayla Reynolds has been missing since Saturday morning, December 17, 2011 in Waterville, Maine. Ayla was last seen sleeping in her bed at about 10 PM Friday night.  Her father, Justin Dipietro, reported her missing Saturday morning when he said he found an empty bed. Waterville police believe that it is possible that Ayla Reynolds let herself out of the house and simply walked away. Or the child was abducted.

Missing: Ayla Reynolds

The child lives at 29 Violette Ave., off Cool Street. She was last seen wearing green, one-piece pajamas with polka dots and the words “Daddy’s Princess” on them. She is 2 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs approximately 30 pounds.

Her left arm is in a sling and soft splint. She has short thin blond hair.

Presently police are conducting searches for the missing toddler. The investigation into the disappearance of  Ayla Reynolds involves local police, state police, wardens and the FBI. So far no AMBER Alert has been issued as authorities state that the case does not meet the criteria. How insane, any missing child case should be an AMBER ALERT!

FACEBOOK: HELP FIND AYLA REYNOLDS

Note: The missing toddlers parents do not live together. Ayla lives with her father, Justin Dipietro,  aand her mother, Trista Reynolds, lives in Portland , although she does not have a permanent address.

A Note on Tim Tebow and #TEBOWING … This Isn’t the First Time We Have Seen This, Remember Notre Dame’s Rocket Ismail … Praising God Should Always be En Vogue

TEBOW MANIA … Tim Tebow and “Tebowing” has become all the rage; however, this is not the first time we have seen this. In the end, is it so terrible to have role models we can be proud of. The answer is no!

Let me first say, I am a Tebow fan. Not because I am a Denver Bronco fan, just the opposite. I am a life-long Patriot fan and have been a Tom Brady fan for years. Which happens to be the over-hyped NFL game of the week and all that every one is talking about. Can Tebow beat Tom Terrific? Honestly, I doubt it. I can’t see the game being so close in the 4th quarter, Tebow time, when playing an offense like that what the Pats put on the field. Although, what I learned from the NE Patriots perfect season year and loss to the Giants in the Super Bowl, anything can happen.

That being said, what Tim Tebow is doing and what he brings to the NFL is refreshing. The fact that there are haters to Tebow is a bit disconcerting. What is there really not to like about Tim Tebow? From all accounts he appears to be a good Christan kid, humble, has his priorities correct and has a faith in himself and in his God. Seriosuly, what could be wrong with that? Isn’t this what the NFL has been looking for … a clutch player that makes headlines on the field, not in the police blotter.

I know we live in the 24-7-365 social media age; however, a note to the youth of America and a reminder to the MSM … Tebowing is not new. Many athletes during post game interviews give praise to God before they answer any sports reporting question. That being said, for all you too young to remember, you can watch it on Youtube. In the late 80′s there was a NCAA college football player known as “the Rocket”. Raghib Ismail was “Tebowing” for Tebowing was in. In fact, the Rocket did not always wait until the fourth quarter to get down on one knee and thank God.

Check out after the Rocket scores … looks a bit like “Tebowing”

The Rocket went to his knees twice in this game against Rice, although his first TD post knee prayer, he was swarmed under by fellow Irish players.

The fact of the matter is that Tim Tebow has great faith in himself and faith in his God. Win or lose, Tebow praises God. I often wonder why people have bad things to say about this, this actions or his faith. Of course the MSM including the ESPN’s of the world are blowing this all out of proportion. Tim Tebow has great faith in himself and his Awesome God. For those that would have a problem with such qualities need to maybe figure out what is lacking in their lives. When I look at Tebow, I think of the movie “Facing the Giant” and the message for it. The struggling coach asks, “what is the purpose of this football team”. A player responds, “winning football games”.  Coach Grant then says, “winning football games is just too small a thing to live for. [...] we need to give God our best in every area. And if we win, we praise him and if we lose we praise him”.

It is not Tim Tebow who is making this about Tebow, that is the media.  In the end, what could ever be wrong with praising God and understanding that there is something greater in the universe than you? All too many need to embrace this, including many of our political leaders.

GOP Primary: Des Moines Register Endorses Mitt Romney in Iowa

It has been a good week for endorsements for GOP Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. Earlier this week Romney picked up the surprise and controversial endorsement of SC Gov. Nikki Haley, now today he receives the endorsement of Iowa’s influential newspaper, the Des Moines Register.

Sobriety, wisdom and judgment.

Those are qualities Mitt Romney said he looks for in a leader. Those are qualities Romney himself has demonstrated in his career in business, public service and government. Those qualities help the former Massachusetts governor stand out as the most qualified Republican candidate competing in the Iowa caucuses.

However, we are reminded by NRO, The Corner, that this endorsement is no sure route to victory in Iowa … “Last cycle, the Register endorsed John McCain, not the future caucus winner, Mike Huckabee”.

More from Fox News:

The Des Moines Register statement also lists,in part, why they did not choose some of Romney’s closest rivals in Iowa:

“He stands out especially among candidates now in the top tier: Newt Gingrich is an undisciplined partisan who would alienate, not unite, if he reverts to mean-spirited attacks on display as House speaker. Ron Paul’s libertarian ideology would lead to economic chaos and isolationism, neither of which this nation can afford.”

In a brief statement on Twitter, Romney said he was “proud” to receive the Des Moines Register’s endorsement.

Simply Laughable & Media Bias: Obama Claim as 4th Best President, but ’60 Minutes’ Broadcast Edits it Out

As former democrat President Bill Clinton says, “It all depends on what the meaning of Obama’s”legislative and foreign policy accomplishments,” is. Welcome to Obama in Wonderland … Can America survive with an ego like this?

Once again we are witness to the liberal media bias and a laughable President Obama who obviously lives in another universe. No one can be this arrogant and pompous, then again the US has never had the misfortune to elect such a liberal, out of touch president like Barack Hussein Obama.

President Barack Obama is a legend in his own mind. During his ’60 Minutes’ interview Barack Obama said probably one of the most laughable comments of his Presidency. Obama actually said, “I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln …” WOW, OBAMA ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS NONSENSE? Remember when so many thought that Obama would step down for the better of the Democrat party and America and have another run instead because of his poor job approval and wrong direction he has taken the country? Care to think again about Obama’s narcissism and lack of humility?

Transcript via News Busters:

KROFT: Tell me, what do you consider your major accomplishments? If this is your last speech. What have you accomplished?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, we’re not done yet. I’ve got five more years of stuff to do. But not only saving this country from a great depression. Not only saving the auto industry. But putting in place a system in which we’re gonna start lowering health care costs and you’re never gonna go bankrupt because you get sick or somebody in your family gets sick. Making sure that we have reformed the financial system, so we never again have taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the system is more stable and secure. Making sure that we’ve got millions of kids out here who are able to go to college because we’ve expanded student loans and made college more affordable. Ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Decimating al Qaeda, including Bin Laden being taken off the field. Restoring America’s respect around the world.

The issue here is not gonna be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do. And we’re gonna keep on at it.

How Obama kept a straight face while making such a comment shows what such a good liar this man really is. However, a funny thing happened on the way to the Barack Obama interview … CBS ’60 Minutes’ edited the President’s comments from their TV broadcast. Of course this was just a coincidence. The FULL interview can be seen HERE, check out the 54:30 minute mark.

So Obama thinks he is better than the father of our country George Washington, really? Heck, Obama also thinks that he is better than  Presidents Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Coolidge, Truman, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan just to name a few. Obama, you are not better than William Jefferson Clinton.

Pakistani Model Veena Malik Reported Missing Following Nude FHM Pic Scandal (UPDATE: Found Safe)

Pakistani model and actress Veena Malik has been reported missing by her manager. Veena Malik has been in the middle of a controversy and is suing FHM magazine for what is being said to be doctored nude photos. According to her manager she has not been seen since Friday morning who has received death threats over the photos.

Missing: Veena Malik

The controversial Pakistani model and actress, who is suing FHM magazine after she claimed they doctored photos to make her look nude, has not been seen since yesterday morning.

She had complained of feeling depressed, but also was the subject of death threats over the photos.

Hopefully she is just in hiding and nothing has happened to her as a result of those reasonable radical Muslims who proclaim that Islam is a religion of peace. As the Jawa Report says, And if the “Religion of Perpetual Outrage have gotten to her  … maybe it’s time to nuke Pakistan up into the stone age.

She had previously been accused by clerics of immoral behaviour on Bigg Boss for wearing shorts, hugging a male actor and swimming with Pamela Anderson.

She countered by accusing the Pakistan media of having double standards about men and women’s behaviour.

She claimed she only posed topless for FHM, but that photos were doctored to make her look completely naked.

UPDATE I: Veena Malik has been found safe in hotel in India.

Harvard Poll: 30% of Millennial Voters Say Obama will Win Reelection … Only 46% Job Approval Rating

NOW THE YOUNG ARE ABANDONING OBAMA ... Even more bad news for President Barack Obama, this time from “Millennial” voters, those from the age of 18 to 29 years.

Barack Obama was supposed to represent “Hope & Change” for the young people of America. However, since his election in 2008 all the “Millennial” voters have experience is that cannot gain employment. A recent Harvard poll has some extremely bad new for Obama in his 2012 reelection bid. According to Harvard’s Institute of Politics poll of “Millennial” voters, 36% think Barack Obama will lose while 30% think he will be voted into a second term. Also, only 46% of Millennials approve of the job Obama is doing as president, the lowest mark since IOP polling of the Obama administration began in the fall of 2009.

Full polling data can be found HERE. Also, some more damning polling data for Obama.

•Approximately one-third of younger voters following “Occupy” movement; less than one-in-four supportive.  Thirty-two percent of 18-29 year-olds say they followed the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations either very (6%) or somewhat closely (26%), with 66% saying they were not following the demonstrations closely. Twenty-one percent (21%) of Millennials say they supported the “Occupy” movement with one-third (33%) not supportive and 46% either unsure or refused to answer.

•Job approval ratings continue to slide for President Obama as well as Democrats and Republicans in Congress. President Obama’s job performance rating among America’s 18-29 year-olds is currently at the lowest point since IOP polling of the Obama administration began in the fall of 2009. Forty-six percent (46%) of Millennials approve of the job Obama is doing as president – a decrease of nine percentage points from Feb. 2011 IOP polling (55%) – with 51% saying they disapprove. Obama’s job approval has also fallen among college students from 60% in February to 48% today. Views toward Democrats(33% approval; down from 45% in February)and Republicans in Congress(24% approval; down from 30% in February) have also slipped significantly over the same period.

Can you say the ship is sinking? This is hardly the polling data nor the downward trend that an incumbent President would want less than one year from an election.

For the next 7 years and 3 months, the Barefoot Bandit will have prison issue shoes …

Twenty year old Colton Harris-Moore, better known as the “Barefoot Bandit” was sentenced to 7 years and 3 months in prison. Harris-Moore plead guilty to his crimes in the north-western US state of Washington.   The charges included identity theft, theft of firearm and residential burglary.

A 20-year-old thief known as the “Barefoot Bandit” has some hard time ahead of him. Colton Harris Moore was sentenced to 7 years and 3 months in prison Friday, the Associated Press reported.

Moore pleaded guilty to state theft and burglary charges in a case that led authorities on an international manhunt and ended in a barrage of gunfire and a crashed plane in the Bahamas.

He had already pleaded guilty to federal charges of stealing an airplane earlier this year.

Why am I thinking that this is not the last that we will be hearing about the exploits of Colton Harris-Moore? In seven years we will be hearing that he posed as a pilot an steals a PAN-AM jet … oh wait, that has been already done.

112 People Arrested in Child Porn Ring in 22 Countries … Good Riddance to Vile Rubbish

Huge bust in war old child pornography …

Europol has arrested 112 pedophiles encompassing 22 countries in connection with a child pornography ring. According to reports there have been a total of 269 suspects identified. As per the AP, the nations involved in the investigation were Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Croatia, Norway and Switzerland.

Europol says 112 people have been arrested in connection with a major investigation into child pornography that stretched across 22 European countries.

The European police coordination agency says there are 269 suspects in all in the investigation, which was carried out under the leadership of Danish police. Nineteen men aged 24 to 55 years old are facing preliminary charges in Denmark.

The investigation was known as “Operation Icarus,” targeted the worst of the worst and those sharing the most extreme and vile forms of video material, which included babies and toddlers being sexually abused and raped. GOOD GRIEF, COULD THIS BE ANY MORE VILE!

The yearlong “Operation Icarus” busted previously unknown networks of child sex offenders who were sharing the child pornography via a “peer-to-peer” system, a Europol spokesman reportedly said.

So much material was seized it will take months or even years to analyze, the Irish Times reported, adding that the material had been described as the “worst of the worst.”

Payroll Tax Cut Passes US Senate 89-10 … Will Obama Veto?

The payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits has passed the US Senate 89-10; however, the extension is only for two months. Now President Barack Obama has been put on the hot seat to see whether he is all talk and no action. Obama claimed that he would veto the bill if it contained provisions for the XL Pipeline. Guess what Barack, the Senate Dems caved and the bill contains the Keystone XL Pipeline.

By an 89-10 vote, senators approved the plan as part of a final round of action that will conclude an acrimonious year of legislating in the divided Congress. Seven Republicans, one independent and two Democrats voted against the plan. The House is expected to take up the proposal in the coming days, where some top Republicans have voiced concern about a short-term extension.

The vote came moments after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) conceded that senators did not have an official cost estimate of the plan, an admission that served to underscore the frantic nature of the talks and the much-criticized legislative process employed by this Congress. The Congressional Budget Office later said it would reduce the deficit by $3 billion over the next decade.

So what will President Obama do with regards to the Keystone XL pipeline? Obama claims that he is for job creation, we shall see. The ball is in Obama’s court, so-to speak. How does Obama justify killing 20,000 jobs when he claims to be pro-job creation? Obama always talks about the jobs he has created and saved, as if such a metric was measurable. If Obama kills the Keystone XL pipeline project, we can now track the jobs that Obama has killed.  Heck, I would like to know how Obama and Democrats claim they are for social security and then cut the very funding of it with the payroll tax cut?
