This is for all the people up in NYC, NJ, and yes, here in Michigan. Hold on everyone! We will make it.
This will be my last blog posting of the night. Lights are flickering here. I want to be safe and I want all you guys to be safe too!
Good Night from Detroit!

I think this is more than appropriate considering what is happening in NYC and NJ — and what is happening in our Country Today.

Now this is too funny. 
Hurricane Sandy is coming ashore, Governor Christie says, “get the heck outta dodge!” and what does the Mayor of Atlantic City do?
This: (Via JWF)
The Story:
Gov. Chris Christie this evening issued an angry rebuke to Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford for allowing people to shelter at schools in that community rather than evacuate. Christie said one school is now flooded.
“For those elected officials who decided to ignore my admonition, this is now your responsibility,” Christie said at a news conference at the State Police Regional Operations Intelligence Center, the location of the emergency operations command center.
The governor said he cannot quantify how many people decided to shelter at the schools within the city, but he said no rescues will occur from this evening until the morning. He said a 21-member strike team is in place with boats to assist come dawn.
Christie said he also does not know if people are still stuck in one school near the bay that has flooded.
“We’re at a moment now where evacuation is no longer possible and we’re no longer able to come and rescue people,” Christie said.
At a news conference Saturday, Langford and his administration acknowledged their poor exit strategy during Tropical Storm Irene last year would likely cause many of the city’s nearly 40,000 residents to stay put during Sandy to protect their homes and stores.
“Last year we had many residents on school buses, especially elderly residents, for hours at a time,” said Tom Foley, the city’s director of emergency management. “It was totally unacceptable. We think we have a better plan this time.
Oh yeah? How’d that all pan out?
“We’re trying to deal with a hurricane, we’re not worried about that b.s.,” city Office of Emergency Management Director Tom Foley said via cell phone. “We’re trying to move people right now.” — real quote
Jammie Wearing Fools says:
Unimaginable incompetence at work here. Now they’re trying to move people as the storm makes landfall?
Yeah, kind of like Katrina. Republican says, “Everyone get outta the city!” Black Democrat says, “I think we’ll do it our way, and not listen to the honky.” and now that black Democrat is underwater, he’s like “don’t bug me!”
This is what happens when racial bigotry and affirmative action trumps actual executive experience and leadership ability. I will be willing to bet you streak dinner, that some Democrat, somewhere will find an excuse to blame Chris Christie for this one. You watch and see. This is what happened during Katrina and it is happening again; remember Ray Nagin? Here we go again!
Just saying y’all, just sayin’….

On CBN Newswatch, Oct. 29:
Watch CBN News team coverage from Virginia Beach, Washington, D.C., and New York as Hurricane Sandy bears down on the East Coast.
I don’t know about y’all. But there’s a particular Eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww factor about seeing Geraldo kiss another guy…. 
The Story via Daily Caller:
In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Geraldo at Large” Sunday night, Charles Woods, father of slain Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, said President Barack Obama did not do all he could to save the four Americans who were killed in a terrorist raid on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Obama should have reacted sooner, he said, because the consulate was American soil.
“I was contacted by military personnel yesterday, who told me an interesting fact. And that is any consulate anywhere in the world is American soil,” Woods said. “Any attack on an American consulate is an attack on American soil. There were American citizens that were attacked for seven hours on American soil a couple thousand miles away from Washington, D.C.”
[…]
“First of all, I am not angry at all,” Woods said. “In fact, Mr. President, if I had the opportunity of speaking to you face to face, and I would really love to, I would say this: ‘Mr. President, I respect your office. However, if you are responsible for the death of my son, I totally forgive you.’”
“This is about honor, courage and about love for America. And remember this, Mr. President: My son and the others died heroes and it’s better to die the death of a hero than it is to live the life of a coward. If you are responsible for the death of my son, I forgive you, I love you. I also love America.
Great way of putting it, gross way of handling it!

For not forsaking the old paths and having the courage to speak the truth, even in the face of criticism from those who supposedly preach tolerance, except when it clashes with their worldviews.
Something that I can relate to, and I am sure Dr. McTernan can too:
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. (John 15:18-25 KJV)
May the Lord Jesus hold John McTernan in the palm of his hand, during this time of adversity. 
Update: The best thing we, as believers, can do for John, is buy his books:
If this is true, Michelle Malkin should be not allowed back on Fox News and should be shunned by the Conservative World for good.
Please, check out this blog posting here.
Update: I thought I would add a wee bit more to this; so that people outside of the Detroit area would understand this better. Matty Moroun is EXTREMELY EVIL, NASTY, ANTI-AMERICAN MAN!!!! The things that he wants to do, would be absolutely destructive to the city of Detroit.
Behold, one of his properties that he REFUSES to do anything with:
This is Michigan Central Station one of Matty Moroun’s many properties. He refuses to do anything with it; and it is an HUGE eyesore in Detroit. This is the same turkey that wants to build a NEW bridge in Detroit?!?!
…and Michelle Malkin is taking money from him. Disgusting. 😡
Please note: I am not a big fan of the blogger that I linked to, for some very good reasons; namely one, she threatened me once and stabbed me in the back. However, I believe the story to be a legit one and I think all clear-thinking conservatives should follow Malkin’s advice and “Let sunlight be the best disinfectant.” If Malkin is doing this, she should be forced to answer for it.
