Israel's nearly three-week vigil for three teens kidnapped in the West Bank — including one with U.S. citizenship — ended grimly Monday, with the discovery of their bodies just north of Hebron.

* HAS ANYONE BEEN WATCHING "THE LAST SHIP" ON TNT? IN IT THE "CAPTAIN" OF THE SHIP DELIVERED A LINE TO TERRORISTS WHO WERE HOLDING ON OF HIS CREW AT GUNPOINT. THAT LINE WAS: "ONE THING THAT HAS NEVER CHANGED AND WILL NEVER CHANGE; THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS."

* SAD.

* WHAT AN ANTIQUATED LINE; OBVIOUSLY FILMED BEFORE OBAMA TRADED FIVE GITMO TERRORISTS FOR A U.S. MILITARY DESERTER.

* OH... SORRY TO BRING THAT UP... THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE "OLD NEWS."

(*SMIRK*)

A judge on Monday ruled against George Zimmerman in a defamation lawsuit he filed against NBC Universal over edited 911 calls made after Trayvon Martin was shot and killed in 2012.

* THE JUDGE SHOULD BE DISBARRED.

In the ruling, Judge Debra S. Nelson said, "There are no genuine issues of material fact upon which a reasonable jury could find that the Defendants acted with actual malice."

* HUH...???

In a hearing earlier this month, Zimmerman's attorney said NBC manipulated the call to make it seem like Zimmerman was chasing Trayvon Martin because of the color of Martin's skin.

* NBC DID MANIPULATE THE CALL! READ ON!

Zimmerman: "This guy looks like he's up to no good or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."

Dispatcher: "OK, and this guy is he white, black or Hispanic?"

Zimmerman: "He looks black."

In the reports that aired on NBC, the question from the dispatcher was removed.

* WHAT'S THAT...?!?!

In the reports that aired on NBC, the question from the dispatcher was removed.

(*SNORT*)

Nelson [also] said the malice standard was appropriate because Zimmerman is a public figure.

* HE'S A "PUBLIC FIGURE" BECAUSE THE VERY MEDIA HE'S SUING MADE HIM A PUBLIC FIGURE! HE DIDN'T SEEK FAME! HE DIDN'T RUN FOR OFFICE! FOLLOWING THE "LOGIC" OF THE JUDGE, ANYONE WHO HAS DEALINGS WITH THE STATE AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A PUBLIC FIGURE!

Zimmerman's attorney called the 911 reports "reckless," adding that NBC fired at least two employees after the story came to light.

* WHY WOULD NBC HAVE FIRED THE EMPLOYEES IF THEY DID NOTHING WRONG...??? (THESE EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOW TURN AROUND AND SUE NBC!)

http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/30/noaa-quietly-reinstates-july-1936-as-the-hottest-month-on-record/

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - criticized for manipulating temperature records to create a warming trend - has now been caught warming the past and cooling the present.

(*SNORT*)

July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the U.S. during a summer that was declared “too hot to handle” by NASA scientists.

That summer more than half the country was experiencing drought and wildfires had scorched more than 1.3 million acres of land, according to NASA.

According to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in 2012, the “average temperature for the contiguous U.S. during July was 77.6°F, 3.3°F above the 20th century average, marking the warmest July and all-time warmest month on record for the nation in a period of record that dates back to 1895.”

“The previous warmest July for the nation was July 1936, when the average U.S. temperature was 77.4°F,” NOAA said in 2012.

This statement by NOAA was still available on their website when checked by The Daily Caller News Foundation. But when meteorologist and climate blogger Anthony Watts went to check the NOAA data on Sunday he found that the science agency had quietly reinstated July 1936 as the hottest month on record in the U.S.

* OOPS...

“Two years ago during the scorching summer of 2012, July 1936 lost its place on the leaderboard and July 2012 became the hottest month on record in the United States,” Watts wrote. “Now, as if by magic, and according to NOAA’s own data, July 1936 is now the hottest month on record again. The past, present, and future all seems to be ‘adjustable’ in NOAA’s world.”

(*SMIRK*)

“You can’t get any clearer proof of NOAA adjusting past temperatures,” Watts wrote. “This isn’t just some issue with gridding, or anomalies, or method, it is about NOAA not being able to present historical climate information of the United States accurately.”

“In one report they give one number, and in another they give a different one with no explanation to the public as to why,” Watts continued. “This is not acceptable. It is not being honest with the public. It is not scientific. It violates the Data Quality Act.”

Watts’ accusation of NOAA climate data manipulation comes after reports that the agency had been lowering past temperatures to create a warming trend in the U.S. that does not exist in the raw data.

The ex-post facto data manipulation has been cataloged by climate blogger Steven Goddard and was reported by the UK Telegraph earlier this month.

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

* KEEP READING NEWSBITES, FOLKS; TRY NOT TO BE SHEEP!

A glimpse into the reality of the thousands of illegal immigrants being released into the U.S. by the Obama Administration was captured on video in a Greyhound Bus station in Laredo, Texas this weekend.

* CHECK OUT THE VIDEO!

The illegal immigrants who cross as incomplete family units simply enter the U.S. illegally, turn themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents, are processed, and then are released with a notice to appear at a future date for court proceedings.

U.S. taxpayers then fund bus tickets for the illegal immigrants to go to the U.S. city of their choosing.

* ONE... MORE... TIME...

U.S. taxpayers then fund bus tickets for the illegal immigrants to go to the U.S. city of their choosing.

Approximately 95% of the illegal immigrants never return as promised for court proceedings, according to Hector Garza, a Border Patrol agent and spokesperson for the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) Local 2455.

"The majority of these people crossed the border illegally and were then dropped off here at the bus station, so they could continue to their final destination, and that destination is an American city near you," said Garza. "This right here is border insecurity at its best. Our border is not patrolled, it's not being secured... our federal government is releasing thousands and thousands of illegal aliens into our communities."
