"It's over, for now: Obama signs bill to end partial shutdown, hike debt ceiling"

i think the government is becoming to corrupt and that with the shut down they are showing weakness and that it could be a start of a possible war between the countries

(CNN) -- An operation targeting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is under way in Abyan and Shabwa, Yemen, a high-level Yemeni government official who is being briefed on the strikes told CNN on Monday. The official said that the scale of the strikes against AQAP is "massive and unprecedented" and that at least 30 militants have been killed.

Karma is a b..

It's surprising how we've been pulled back with involvements with cases like these. And also the fact that it was an organization/group/etc. we went after before adds on to the surprise of our current involvement. Back in early 2000's we were fighting wars, now we're just planning defense without using our troops.

"According to an analysis conducted for CNN by the National Conference of State Legislatures, states have enacted more than 40 new gun laws since the start of the year."

This guy was denied a US visa because of his past.

Is Hurricane Odile headed your way? Share your photos and videos with CNN iReport, but only if you can do so safely. (CNN) -- Hurricane Odile snapped palm trees like twigs, washed out roads and left tourists trapped in Mexican resorts Monday.

It's never a good thing for a hurricane to happen, but I'm kinda glad we live somewhere these don't happen.

(CNN) -- Two worlds. Two identities and the ever-present, very real risk of death. That was the life of Morten Storm, a radical Islamist turned double agent, who's now lifting the lid on some of the world's best-kept secrets.

That's a shock

Prime Minister David Cameron urged Scottish voters Monday not to let their dissatisfaction with his government lead them to opt out of the U.K. "Please don't think: 'I'm frustrated with politics right now, so I'll walk out the door and never come back," he said, according to the Guardian.

They shouldn't be so quick to walk away from the U.K.

A man is being treated in isolation in Hawaii for what health officials say is a potential Ebola case, local ABC affiliate KITV reported Thursday, though he could be sick with some other ailment. Authorities stress that they are being especially cautious amid concerns over the deadly virus, two days after the first confirmed case in the United States was identified in Texas.

Not good.

WE'RE ALL SCREWED RUN FOR YOUR FREAKIN LIVES

An Ohio police officer is being praised for holding his fire even as a slaying suspect charged him, saying repeatedly, "shoot me." WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported ( http://bit.ly/1EXuKaK ) the tense moments were captured Thursday on a body camera worn by New Richmond officer Jesse Kidder.

The Kentucky senator's latest filibuster-style stand against government surveillance positions him as the bane of Big Brother and puts him at the center of a high-profile national security debate as support for the post-9/11 security state seems to be fraying. Paul's maneuvering is not without risks.

A Commentary By John Stossel Charles Murray, already controversial for writing books on how welfare hurts the poor, on ethnic differences in IQ and on (less controversial, but my favorite) happiness and good government, has written a new book that argues that it's time for civil disobedience.

The Pope made the unscheduled detour to the Little Sisters of the Poor residence after he gave a canonization mass nearby, a visit even the nuns did not know about until that day. The Vatican's spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, told reporters that the visit was made "as a sign of support for them."

"The Supreme Court, which asks for God's protection before every public session, will settle a dispute over prayer in the halls of government."

People are getting really ridiculous with this prayer thing. If you don't agree, don't say "Amen". It's the same as if you don't like the pledge of allegiance and so you don't put your hand over your heart but you stand. Just deal with it. We have no choice but to hear the pledge, so you shouldn't make a big deal about something that has always gone on and has never harmed anyone.

A example of an abuse of power

Washington (CNN) -- Finger pointing over the technical blunders that gummed up the Obamacare website launch will ensue on Thursday, it appears. Contractors who helped develop the embattled HealthCare.gov website blame each other and the government, but not themselves, in testimony prepared for the first congressional hearing on the problems engulfing the online enrollment system.

Obama care seems to be failing and no one is really in favor of this bill. Many democrats are not even supporting Obama care. And the website is a complete failure.

The website is a complete failure

WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. economy added 204,000 jobs in October, an unexpected burst of hiring in a month when the government was partly shut down for 16 days, and far more jobs in August and September than previously thought.

The bigger fear for Democrats is that public sentiment will side with Republicans who have warned for four years that Obamacare amounted to big government run amok, resulting in an unmanageable new bureaucracy.

Well, I hoped things work out in a way that we are actually working together to make the country better for the people and the economy. Obama said in his election speech that we were no longer the red and blue states but the United states of America. I really don't see that happening. A kingdom divided only destroys itself.

This is absolutely crazy! This is a perfect example of police crossing the line of authority. He was killed because he wouldn't shut off the truck. His dad was trying to teach him a lesson, not kill him.

Sad stuff out there. And it kinda hits home considering this took place here in Iowa...

Not that I want to admit it, but last year I got in HUGE trouble because I told my mothers car multiple times without permission. What if they would have wanted to teach me a lesson? Would I get killed just because I had a moment of bad decisions? This makes me think how easily this could have been me.

Five men who describe themselves in a complaint as "human rights activists of Mexican origin" filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Republican presidential candidate, his campaign, his company and Keith Schiller, Trump's chief of security. The plaintiffs allege that Trump security officials, namely Schiller, assaulted them as they protested outside of a campaign event.

I feel like the activists were well within their rights and forcing the protectors to move the banner as well as striking one of them is very illegal and wrong. I agree with them that Trump would make this country racist, and he should be protested against as much as humanly possible.
