Yeah..... Presidents Obama handling of the Hurricane won it. He erased any doubt and even got Gov from NJ to admit it. Ms Clinton.... I don't know how much damage was done to her over the embassy event and the subsequent head injury.
I don't think she can win.

Where did Obama post he wanted to take guns?
You answer the question.....should some guns and gun attachments be ok for civilians to own?
It's called a preemptive strike
A preemptive strike is a military action which is designed to neutralize a potential threat, or to gain a distinct advantage against an enemy. The legality of preemptive strikes is questionable, as they are generally considered offensive actions except in very specific circumstances. For example, a preemptive strike against troops massing near a nation's border might be considered justified, while a random airstrike on a known enemy might not be legally acceptable. Despite debates over the legality of such actions, many nations throughout history have used preemptive attacks as military tools.
When a preemptive strike is considered, several things are usually incorporated into the decision. The first is a careful examination of the nature of the threat, with concrete threats like troop buildups or detonations of nuclear devices being considered justifications for preemptive attacks. Analysts also think about the likelihood of an anticipated attack from an enemy, weighing things like public announcements, intelligence information, and historical activities by the enemy.
Generally, governments are also encouraged to consider alternatives before moving on to a preemptive strike. When weighing the decision to make such a strike, government officials look at other options like diplomacy, sanctions, and other tools. Ideally, an aggressive action should only be undertaken if all other options have been exhausted. Finally, analysts may consider legal and ethical justifications for such a strike, to see if it conforms with the terms of the United Nations Charter.
A total Crud! Uday!
This will drop to .14 by tomorrow! At close I have seen this before.
Lol let me do my homework! Good luck on finding another Clovis!
Great Article in the Smithsonian about this....boat theory....don't see it happening. I don't think you could bring that many people for a mass migration....support the land bridge theory.......people walk!
Agreed!
Sherman your average Grunt loves Drones...I would have.
FOX News would hire Daffy Duck......he is black!
Jesus loves you...ooops wrong board!
Japan had it also!
Here you go
When I was 9 years old I desperately wanted to be a paleontologist, but sadly, daydreams of unearthing dinosaurs led to no significant fossil finds in my backyard. So I must confess unending respect for Matthew Berger, who, at age 9, quite by accident made a stunning scientific find. In the journal Science this week, Matthew’s father paleoanthropologist Lee Berger describes the fossils of a brand-new hominid species that they turned up in South Africa: Australopithecus sediba, which dates back to between 1.78 and 1.95 million years and could offer new hints about that era of human evolution.
Matthew was chasing his dog near a site where his father had long hunted for fossils when he tripped over the find. The bones belong to a pre-teenage boy and a woman estimated to be in her late 20s or early 30s; the individuals died at about the same time, and before their remains had fully decomposed, they were entombed in an avalanche of sediment and nearly perfectly preserved deep in the Malapa cave north of Johannesburg, South Africa [TIME]. As a result, Lee Berger says, the bones are in an astonishing state for their nearly 2-million-year age.
Lol hell yes!
Hey Desert......you told me once you found a Clovis point.....they are worth thousands.
In WWII getting within 1000 ft was a direct hit!
Nobody fares well under a microscope. NOBODY!
So is this rant!
That's laughable......they dont give a damn if we are armed or not!
The Told story......... A Jewish Man realized what God could be.....the rest is History!
As you wish......debating not arguing ......however, don't paint all boards with the same brush if you have never posted there.
I see you missed the point again...early people believed he was a Magician not a God. Which means...he actually did miracles .....hmmmm!
I see you have Faith...I believe that's a gift from God.
I invited you to one...you declined.
Have you ever actually studied Christianity?
You are reaching...the bowl stands by itself.
Jesus the Magician ...lol.....
Lol just found this

A team of scientists led by renowned French marine archaeologist Franck Goddio recently announced that they have found a bowl, dating to between the late 2nd century B.C. and the early 1st century A.D., that is engraved with what they believe could be the world's first known reference to Christ.
If the word "Christ" refers to the Biblical Jesus Christ, as is speculated, then the discovery may provide evidence that Christianity and paganism at times intertwined in the ancient world.
The full engraving on the bowl reads, "DIA CHRSTOU O GOISTAIS," which has been interpreted by the excavation team to mean either, "by Christ the magician" or, "the magician by Christ."
"It could very well be a reference to Jesus Christ, in that he was once the primary exponent of white magic," Goddio, co-founder of the Oxford Center of Maritime Archaeology, said.
He and his colleagues found the object during an excavation of the underwater ruins of Alexandria's ancient great harbor. The Egyptian site also includes the now submerged island of Antirhodos, where Cleopatra's palace may have been located.
Both Goddio and Egyptologist David Fabre, a member of the European Institute of Submarine Archaeology, think a "magus" could have practiced fortune telling rituals using the bowl. The Book of Matthew refers to "wisemen," or Magi, believed to have been prevalent in the ancient world.
According to Fabre, the bowl is also very similar to one depicted in two early Egyptian earthenware statuettes that are thought to show a soothsaying ritual.

"It has been known in Mesopotamia probably since the 3rd millennium B.C.," Fabre said. "The soothsayer interprets the forms taken by the oil poured into a cup of water in an interpretation guided by manuals."
He added that the individual, or "medium," then goes into a hallucinatory trance when studying the oil in the cup.
"They therefore see the divinities, or supernatural beings appear that they call to answer their questions with regard to the future," he said.
The magus might then have used the engraving on the bowl to legitimize his supernatural powers by invoking the name of Christ, the scientists theorize.
Weird science: Top unexplained mysteriesGoddio said, "It is very probable that in Alexandria they were aware of the existence of Jesus" and of his associated legendary miracles, such as transforming water into wine, multiplying loaves of bread, conducting miraculous health cures, and the story of the resurrection itself.
While not discounting the Jesus Christ interpretation, other researchers have offered different possible interpretations for the engraving, which was made on the thin-walled ceramic bowl after it was fired, since slip was removed during the process.
Bert Smith, a professor of classical archaeology and art at Oxford University, suggests the engraving might be a dedication, or present, made by a certain "Chrestos" belonging to a possible religious association called Ogoistais.
Klaus Hallof, director of the Institute of Greek inscriptions at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy, added that if Smith's interpretation proves valid, the word "Ogoistais" could then be connected to known religious groups that worshipped early Greek and Egyptian gods and goddesses, such as Hermes, Athena and Isis.
Hallof additionally pointed out that historians working at around, or just after, the time of the bowl, such as Strabon and Pausanias, refer to the god "Osogo" or "Ogoa," so a variation of this might be what's on the bowl. It is even possible that the bowl refers to both Jesus Christ and Osogo.
Fabre concluded, "It should be remembered that in Alexandria, paganism, Judaism and Christianity never evolved in isolation. All of these forms of religion (evolved) magical practices that seduced both the humble members of the population and the most well-off classes."
"It was in Alexandria where new religious constructions were made to propose solutions to the problem of man, of God's world," he added. "Cults of Isis, mysteries of Mithra, and early Christianity bear witness to this."
The bowl is currently on public display in the exhibit "Egypt's Sunken Treasures" at the Matadero Cultural Center in Madrid, Spain, until November 15.
