Forget Oregon’s Gunman. Remember the Hero Who Charged Straight at Him.

From The Daily Beast via H/T at Instapundit:

Forget the 26-year-old zero who murdered 10 innocents at Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning.

The one to remember is 30-year-old Chris Mintz, the student and Army vet who was shot at least five times while charging straight at the gunman in an effort to save others.

Mintz did so on the sixth birthday of his son, Tyrik.

Mintz was shot seven times, and the shooter missed critical organs and nerves, but broke both his legs.

He is another fine example of the brave men, who are/were part of the American Military. Like his brethren, who stop the Paris Train Shooter, he did not retreat, like the French, but charged ahead and attacked.

So how long, if ever, will it be before he is invited to the White House by the Dear Leader?

Veterans’ Benefits in Order to Enable Fraud By Illegal Aliens

From John Hinderaker at Powerline Blog:

Even if, like me, you are beyond being shocked by anything the Democrats do, this is remarkable. For the second time, Harry Reid and his Senate Democrat cohorts have refused to allow an amendment to revise the Ryan-Murray spending deal to be voted on. The amendment would restore the cuts in veterans’ benefits that are part of the deal, and instead raise the money by closing a loophole that makes it easy for illegal aliens to defraud the federal government out of billions of dollars. It seems like a pretty easy choice: keeping our promises to veterans, versus enabling fraud by illegal immigrants. But the Democrats have again chosen, not just to prioritize illegal immigrants over veterans, but to prioritize fraud by illegal aliens over maintaining existing veterans’ benefits. You almost have to see it to believe it.

It is remarkable that on a day when our news media are consumed by a lane closure on a bridge, the Democrats’ support for billions of dollars in fraud by illegal aliens isn’t even a news story.

The Drive-By-Media must protect the Dims at all costs. It does show the Dims only care about power, not what is best for the country.
