Heroic British Mum Confronts Machete Wielding Terrorists
I am as yellow as a duck's foot. Here is a heroic woman who is anything but that - Ingrid Loyau-Kennet is a Scout leader who confronted the two Islamist monsters who to death a British soldier on a London street yesterday.
A woman who confronted one of the alleged attackers while he still had a knife in his hand spoke exclusively to Daybreak. Ingrid Loyau-Kennett was on a bus in Woolwich, but got off when she saw a man lying injured on a road. She says she was acting on instinct.
A mother-of-two hailed as a hero after confronting two alleged knife attackers in Woolwich has said she was not afraid as “better me than a child”.
Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, 48, of Helston, was one of the first people on the scene after she jumped off a bus heading through Woolwich in south-east London when she spotted the stricken soldier lying bloodied in the road.
She has today been hailed as a hero for her actions in confronting the alleged attackers.
Ms Loyau-Kennett told ITV Daybreak she initially thought the victim had been injured in a car crash after spotting a badly damaged vehicle on a pavement at the scene.
She said: "I went to the guy and when I approached the body there was a lady cradling him. And then (one of the killers), the most excited one of the two, said, 'Don't go too close to the body'.
"I thought, okay. And because I was down I could see a butcher's knife and an axe - that's what he had - and blood. I thought, what the heck? I thought obviously he was a bit excited and the thing was just to talk to him."
Ms Loyau-Kennett said she tried to reason with the killer in an effort to focus his attention away from other potential victims, as large crowds began to huddle at the scene.
She said: "I know it's big today but for me it was just a regular guy, just a bit upset. He was not on drugs, he was not drunk.
"He said, 'Don't touch, I killed him'. I said, 'Why?' He said: 'He's a British soldier. He killed people. He killed Muslim people in Muslim countries.'
"And I said: okay. So what would you like? I tried to maker him talk about how he felt. He said all the bombs dropping and blindly killing women, children...
"More and more people were starting to come. There were so many people around. I just looked around and I found it so daunting."
However, Ms Loyau-Kennett said her thoughts were to "just carry on" talking to the man, while several woman arriving at the scene tried to shield the victim.
She said: "I wanted him to concentrate on me and make sure he doesn't have a funny idea.
"He (the killer) told me he was a British soldier - he didn't look like a British soldier to me, he wasn't in uniform. But I thought if another one passes by, or is in the area..."
Asked if she was scared, the woman replied: "No - better me than a child.
"Unfortunately there were more and more mothers with children stopping around, so it was even more important I was talking to him and ask him what he wanted."
Woolwich and Greenwich MP Nick Raynsford praised the "extraordinary" bravery of members of the public who approached the killers. The men are currently in separate London hospitals being treated for injuries after they were shot by police at the scene. The Independent

Law and Order: County Kerry - Episode One:"I'm Brian!"
- To update the law in relation to public order offences
- To create specific offences with regard to racketeering and demanding money with menaces;
- To deal with crowd control at public events; and
- To deal with miscellaneous (various) matters including a new offence prohibiting the advertising of brothels and prostitution.
Brian Mongey, with an address at Grange Boyne, Kilmessan, Co Meath, was charged with failing to provide gardaí with his name and address and with being drunk in public. . . .
Gardaí said Mr Mongey was arrested on the John B Keane Road after repeatedly failing to give his name and address when asked, merely saying: "I'm fine, go away."
Mr Mongey, however, told the court that he had, in fact, said: "I'm Brian. I'm Brian Mongey."
Gardai say they approached Mr Mongey on John B Keane Road on January 27 last out of a concern for his safety.
"He was wearing dark clothes, it was raining and it was very difficult to see him," arresting garda Donal Crowley said. Gda Crowley said there was a strong smell of drink from the man and when he asked him for a name and address, he told the garda: "I'm fine, go away."
"By now he was using a wall to remain upright, such was his level of intoxication," the garda said. He arrested the man and took him to Listowel Garda Station where he behaved in a 'very obnoxious' manner to gardaí, the court heard.
"He was very unco-operative, banging on the door of the cell. He defecated in the cell in a manner and place where it was intentional." Gda Crowley said.
Gardaí located the man's driving licence which gave his name as Brian Mongey. "But on asking if it was his name he refused to answer." Gda Crowley said the man finally gave his name as Brian Mongey at 6am.
So, that's the way of it ( Kerry patois -declarative/interrogative).

Youthful Exuberance Quashed by Cops - "Chicago is Closed. Time to Go Home."
WGN* - (Chicago: Breaking News 05/18/2013)
In the Morning of Life the Truthful wooed the Beautiful, and their offspring was Love. Like his Divine parents, He is eternal. He has his Mother's ravishing smile; his Father's steadfast eyes. He rises every day, fresh and glorious as the untired Sun-God. He is Eros, the ever young. Dark, dark were this world of ours had either Divinity left it—dark without the day-beams of the Latonian Charioteer, darker yet without the daedal Smile of the God of the Other Bow! Dost know him, reader?
Old is he, Eros, the ever young. He and Time were children together. Chronos shall die, too; but Love is imperishable. Brightest of the Divinities, where hast thou not been sung? Other worships pass away; the idols for whom pyramids were raised lie in the desert crumbling and almost nameless; the Olympians are fled, their fanes no longer rise among the quivering olive-groves of Ilissus, or crown the emerald-islets of the amethyst Aegean! These are gone, but thou remainest. There is still a garland for thy temple, a heifer for thy stone. A heifer? Ah, many a darker sacrifice. Other blood is shed at thy altars, Remorseless One, and the Poet Priest who ministers at thy Shrine draws his auguries from the bleeding hearts of men!
While Love hath no end, Can the Bard ever cease singing? In Kingly and Heroic ages, 'twas of Kings and Heroes that the Poet spake. But in these, our times, the Artisan hath his voice as well as the Monarch. The people To-Day is King, and we chronicle his woes, as They of old did the sacrifice of the princely Iphigenia, or the fate of the crowned Agamemnon.
Is Odysseus less august in his rags than in his purple? Fate, Passion, Mystery, the Victim, the Avenger, the Hate that harms, the Furies that tear, the Love that bleeds, are not these with us Still? are not these still the weapons of the Artist? the colors of his palette? the chords of his lyre? Listen! I tell thee a tale—not of Kings—but of Men—not of Thrones, but of Love, and Grief, and Crime. Listen, and but once more. 'Tis for the last time (probably) these fingers shall sweep the strings.
A police officer told the group, "Chicago is closed. Time to go home."

At the Bottom of Every and Any Obama Scandal is the Top Progressive Bottom-Feeding Opportunist - Look To Valerie Jarrett
Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement, Valerie Jarrett - the parade of current and future White House inquiries should begin, but will end with this career grifter.
So if Obama is not fully engaged, who does wield influence in the White House? A lot of Democrats know firsthand that Jarrett, a Chicago mentor to both Barack and Michelle Obama and now officially a senior White House adviser, has enormous influence. She is the only White House staffer in anyone’s memory, other than the chief of staff or national security adviser, to have an around-the-clock Secret Service detail of up to six agents. According to terrorism expert Richard Miniter’s recent book, Leading from Behind: “At the urging of Valerie Jarrett, President Barack Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three separate occasions before finally approving” the mission for May 2, 2011. She was instrumental in overriding then–chief of staff Rahm Emanuel when he opposed the Obamacare push, and she was key in steamrolling the bill to passage in 2010. Obama may rue the day, as its chaotic implementation could become the biggest political liability Democrats will face in next year’s midterm elections.Valerie Jarrett has been prowling Chicago, Illinois and national government for opportunities to enrich herself and amass personal power. I will always think of Valerie Jarrett as a slum property HUD grifter who made good.
Before joining the Obama administration in 2009, Jarrett was president and chief executive officer of the Habitat Company, a real estate development firm founded by major Democratic donor Daniel Levin. Before that, she served three years as commissioner of the Chicago Department of Planning and Development under Mayor Richard Daley.Jarrett currently owns an 11-percent equity interest in Kingsbury Plaza, a 46-story luxury apartment complex developed by Habitat between 2005 and 2007 at a cost of more than $100 million.and this old chestnut yet uncracked because Brand Obama made Tony Rezko Chicago's own Man in the Iron Mask.
She valued the investment at between $1 million and $5 million on her 2011 financial disclosure form, up from $250,001 in 2010. A Jarrett spokesman told the Washington Times that the investment was “a direct result of her 13 years working for Habitat.”
Cook County records show the Kingsbury property is worth around $27.2 million, but thanks to a series of legal appeals beginning in 2003, the land and building are assessed at a much lower value for tax purposes. Since 2008, the property has been designated a “special commercial structure” and is taxed at a value of just $6.8 million, or 25 percent of the actual value.
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents linking Valerie Jarrett, an advisor to Barack Obama and the co-chairman of the President-Elect’s transition team, to a series of real estate scandals, including several housing projects operated by convicted felon and Obama fundraiser/friend Antoin "Tony" Rezko.
According to the documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the Illinois Secretary of State, Valerie Jarrett served as a board member for several organizations that provided funding and support for Chicago housing projects operated by real estate developers and Obama financial backers Rezko and Allison Davis. (Davis is also Obama’s former boss.) Jarrett was a member of the Board of Directors for the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corporation along with several Davis and Rezko associates, as well as the Fund for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization, an organization that worked with Rezko and Davis.
(According to press reports, housing projects operated by Davis and Rezko have been substandard and beset with code violations. The Chicago Sun Times reported that one Rezko-managed housing project was "riddled with problems — including squalid living conditions…lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers.")
As Chief Executive Officer of the Habitat Company Jarrett also managed a controversial housing project located in Obama’s former state senate district called Grove Parc Plaza. According to the Boston Globe the housing complex was considered "uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage…In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale — a score so bad the buildings now face demolition." Ms. Jarrett refused to comment to the Globe on the conditions of the complex.
"Like Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett is a product of the corrupt Chicago political machine. And it is no stretch to say that she was a slumlord," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "We have real concerns about Jarrett’s ethics. Washington already has plenty of corruption. We don’t need to import more of it from Chicago."
Characterized as "the other side of Barack Obama’s brain" by CBS News, Jarrett first met the Obamas seventeen years ago when she offered Michelle Obama a job. While speculation has arisen that Jarrett could take Obama’s place in the U.S. Senate, the New York Times reported that it is more likely she will become a senior White House adviser, thus continuing her long record of being an important influence and mentor to Barack and Michelle Obama.
The grift is as nothing to Ms. Jarrett as unchecked power to recommend, secure postings and punish the opposition. Thinks of the daffy appointments the Obama White House has foisted upon American history since 2008 - Van Jones, Anita 'Mao' Dunn, Desiree Rogers, Arne 'Mumbles' Duncan, and his NAMBLA Czar Kevin Jennings, Elizabeth" Redman; You're a Whiteman" Warren and Samantha Power.
The Jarrett Policy Wheel was born in Chicago and the local high pockets-political Rubes who played ball with her now eclipsed and back home in the 60600 zip codes:
Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church were up in arms last fall over a proposal to require employers to provide health insurance that covered birth control. But caving in to the church’s demands for a broad exemption in the name of religious liberty would pit the president against a crucial constituency, women’s groups, who saw the coverage as basic preventive care.
Worried about the political and legal implications, the chief of staff, William M. Daley, reached out to the proposal’s author, Kathleen Sebelius, the health and human services secretary. How, he wondered, had the White House been put in this situation with so little presidential input? “You are way out there on a limb on this,” he recalls telling her.
“It was then made clear to me that, no, there were senior White House officials who had been involved and supported this,” said Mr. Daley, who left his post early this year.
What he did not realize was that while he was trying to put out what he considered a fire, the person fanning the flames was sitting just one flight up from him: Valerie Jarrett, the Obamas’ first friend, the proposal’s chief patron and a tenacious White House operator who would ultimately outmaneuver not only Mr. Daley but also the vice president in her effort to include the broadest possible contraception coverage in the administration’s health care overhaul.
Then came more Benghazi truths, the IRS Hit Squads and even the Associated Press getting the Tea Party Treatment.
President Obama does not break wind without Valerie Jarrett's say-so. Those winds of change are blowing through the corridors of Congress at the moment. The media is reluctantly admitting it smells it. There will be blow-back wafting to the West Wing from exactly who dealt it.

Commanders in Chief Facing the Weather
1944 - n October 21, 1944, as heavy rain and autumn winds pelted the five boroughs, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, approaching an election for an historic fourth term, toured through fifty-one miles of New York City streets in a large motorcade. With his wife Eleanor at his side, the aging President defied terrible weather to greet his fellow Americans from an open car (and sometimes without a hat). "There was no doubt," the Times wrote, "that he wanted to be seen by as many New Yorkers as possible."
1946 -On a rainy Washington DC day in July 1946, President Harry S. Truman presented the Presidential Unit Citation to members of the segregated 100th Infantry Battalion/442nd Regimental Combat Team with the words, “You fought not only the enemy, but you fought prejudice, and you have won.” Now more than 65 years later, in a ceremony on November 2, 2011, Congress will award its highest civilian honor to these same brave men by granting the Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to the 100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and the Military Intelligence Service. With the awarding of this honor, a whole new generation will learn about the heroism of this group of Nisei soldiers—many of whom gave their lives to prove their patriotism to a country that had forsaken them and their families by forcing them from their homes and putting them in American concentration camps. It is an honor that is coming not a moment too soon: like all Nisei who experienced first-hand the traumas of World War II, many are no longer with us.
1952- President Eisenhower and Sargent Virgil Hutcherson, Squad Leader, Co. “B”, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd US Infantry Division, eat dinner in Korea. December 4, 1952.
2013 - After an opening statement from Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan (REH’-jehp TY’-ihp UR’-doh-wahn), Obama offered to get him an umbrella. Erdogan declined.
2013 - Never mind.
2013 - Transcendent, Aspirational and dry as an FDR martini

Just Folks! Where in the Hell is Sugar Rautbord on this Broad Coalition? I mean, Jesus!Yep, you could stop in any VFW, Knights of Columbus, Loyal Order of Moose, Elks, Odd Fellows, Good Sams, or Custer Park baitshop and find any one of the above listed folks asking the big question - " How can I get in your wallet, change dish, or under your coach, my friend, Ralph Martire has not mapped the course for getting what's left of your trump." Yesterday the Chicago Tribune editorial board, a broad coalition of group thinkers, bellowed out this CHANGE Illinois and Strip Speaker Mike Madigan of His Tighty Whities, Garters and Calf-length dress socks and turn the future over to the University of Chicago, Mayer Brown,LLP, The Woods Fund and Andy "MICROPHONE!" Shaw of BGA. In short, take the Constitutional onus of remapping voting districts from elected officials and give it to people have the help open their doors, as they trot off to next boondoggle, or fund-raiser for hair-lipped Pomeranians.Illinoisans aren't blind to this once-a-decade power grab. A 2012 poll by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute found a whopping 70 percent of registered voters think the job should be taken away from the General Assembly and assigned to an independent commission. The institutes's David Yepsen says it would be "the single most important ethical reform Illinois could undertake."So why hasn't it happened? Because lawmakers like things the way they are. They've ignored pleas to reform the system themselves and sabotaged efforts by others to do so. The redistricting pen is clenched firmly in the iron fist of House Speaker Mike Madigan, who heads the majority Democratic Party, and Senate President John Cullerton.Citizens of Illinois: You are going to have to wrestle it away.The Tribune has long ago staked out Speaker Madigan as the Judas Goat, Simon Legree, Colman Younger, arch-Bad Guy Blue Meanie of Illinois, when in fact Speaker Madigan is about the only person working on the teat who knows what the hell he is doing and stands as the only adult in Springfield.
That's Ralph, when still had a few nickelsSpeaker Madigan is not every one's cup of Earl Grey, but he sure as hell is not to blame for our economic and entitlement jackpot. Ralph Martire, under the protection of the late Dawn Clark Netsch, pie-charted Illinois tax-payers into this bog with the approval of every Editorial Board with 1.09 GPA. . . .not mention every scam hatched at U of C or Go you Northwestern!
The Medill Racketeers who pen editorials LOVE Lisa Madigan and want every tattooed biped wearing ear, nose, tongue and cheek jewelry with a New York Times home subscription to thing vile things about the Illinois Speaker of House - Lisa's Old Man.Mike Madigan has spent his career in Springfield herding egomaniacal retards from both parties, while attempting to get something done despite the cowardly, craven or just plain Special Ed Alumni occupying the Illinois Executive Branch.Mike Madigan takes the heat for the media bullied policies of the advocacy, mandate and agenda pirates allowed into public life. The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board is far from alone in this hapless labor.A Public Radio propaganda blast by WUIS 919 FM(no doubt) parsed this beauty concerning the new CHANGE Illinois Remappers,“They would not be allowed to have worked for the state.. . .” Damn helots, louts, wage earning tax-payers work for the State. How about this?" . . .Nor should they have ever been associated with any Advocacy Group, foundation, PAC, University Think Tank, or the BGA, or any pressure coalitions who have ‘policy’d through legislation Illinois’ current economic, mandate and entitlement jackpot." That's from me not WUIS 919 FM(no doubt)Other than that this might work. . .and then again pumping billions of more tax dollars into CPS will really get those kids ready for life . . .doncha think?
