I have been experiencing a most perplexing problem with Mozilla Firefox lately and I'm hoping that maybe someone here will have the answer I'm looking for. I have an addon/extension called "Download Youtube Videos as MP4s." Basically, it allows me to download Youtube videos in either an FLV or MP4 format. This comes in quite handy for saving data/information regarding political matters. Lately, however, something, somewhere, somehow, has been messing that up. If I click on the download button, instead of getting a "Save As" context menu, the webpage goes blank, a very long URL is displayed in the address...

A House Intelligence subcommittee will hear from CIA security officers who are expected to tell a much more detailed story about the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans last year, CNN has learned. The men, described by sources as former Navy SEALs, former Army Special Forces and former Marines, were under contract to guard CIA agents on the ground there. The security officers were among those who responded when Stevens' compound was attacked on the night of September 11, 2012. They will appear before lawmakers behind closed doors during the week of...

IRGC and the spiritual vacuum of Latin American leftists The following is a glimpse of the kind of thing I often see while researching the activities of the IRGC (writ large) in Latin America. Communism fails to provide for the spiritual needs of leftwing political activists, and the Islamic Republic of Iran seems to have done a pretty good job of inserting themselves and the Khomeinist version of Shiism into that void. (Either that or the IRI is throwing lots of money around and the leftists are whores, which is certainly possible, but for the moment I'll take the more...

Visitors browsing through the YouTube channel of the pianist Valentina Lisitsa can watch her in hundreds of videos. There are live webcams of her practicing at her home in North Carolina, long blonde hair tossing and brow furrowed in concentration as she reads through new works. There she is in a red gown playing Schumann’s “Traumerei” at a concert in Seoul, and recording Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 3 at the Abbey Road Studios in London. Ms. Lisitsa, 43, resurrected a completely stalled career through YouTube.

(CNN) -- Ok, people, let's say it all together again: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. -snip- Monday night, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel had the girl on his show where the pair offered up the big reveal -- the rest of the video. As the girl is screaming, Kimmel, wearing an identical pink T-shirt, rushes in, fire extinguisher in hand. He puts out the fire, then flashes a thumbs up at the camera. The girl's real name is not Caitlin Heller, but rather Daphne Avalon. She's a stuntwoman.

No thread, just idiocy masquerading as poignant commentary. Warning, this is revolting considering the history of the NRA and how Charleton Heston lined up Hollywood to support the 60's civil rights movement. A gag alert is in order.

Barack Obama can't do it without your help.

Susan Rice Says administration 'Quite Confident' Congress Will OK Syria Action In an exclusive interview NBC's Brian Williams sits down with National Security Advisor Susan Rice to discuss what a possible strike in Syria entails. By Daniel Arkin, Staff Writer, NBC News National Security Advisor Susan Rice told NBC News on Tuesday the Obama administration has "no expectation of losing the vote in Congress" on whether to authorize U.S. military action against Syria. In an exclusive interview with Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News, Rice said the White House is "quite confident" that Congress will approve Obama's plan to launch...

To save his skin, Nelson Castro, a native of the Dominican Republic, and corrupt NY state assemblyman, made a deal to get wired to root out govt corruption. Now Castro's beached the deal to save himself---recently pleading guilty in federal court to lying...prosecutors caught Castro stupidly lying on YouTube. No one's opposed to ferreting out corruption in Albany....which some consider to be organized crime. But the indicted, wired Castro was allowed to run for re-election......the corrupt Castro presented himself to voters under false pretenses....a curious way to clean up corruption. Former Assemblyman Nelson Castro

President Obama is a “mulatto faggot” and “the first gay president,” according to Ayo Kimathi, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement acquisitions officer who was revealed to be running a website that “prepares” black people for an “inevitable clash” with white people.In a video from August 2009, found on Kimathi’s YouTube page, the government employee is seen lecturing a crowd about the evils of homosexuality and the president’s efforts to expand the rights of gays. “Miserable, low-life, scum-dwelling product of the Europeans,” he at one point calls Obama while ranting against the president declaring June to be National LGBT Pride Month.After...

LA CRESCENTA (CBSLA.com) — A motorcyclist was hurt Wednesday night after getting caught in clear duct tape that had been stretched across the road in La Cañada Flintridge. The incident happened just before 11 p.m. on Oak Grove Drive near Foothill Boulevard. Deputies with the Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station said the tape was placed about four feet in the air. The motorcyclist was rushed to the hospital with injuries. Authorities said the incident is part of prank, which has been showcased in numerous YouTube videos. In some videos, cars turn around when they see the tape, while others drive through...

"Google has completely severed me from making any videos, all of my videos are gone, and now I must start from scratch."

Everyone was understandably excited when Windows Phone got its own native YouTube app. That is, until Google decided it violated the terms of service by blocking advertisements and promptly asked Microsoft to remove the app. The two companies kissed, made up and collaborated on a new version that would adhere to Mountain View's developer guidelines. Unfortunately, it appears that, despite Big G's involvement, the latest version of YouTube for Windows Phone still has some issues that can't be overlooked. Only two days after returning, with the ability to upload video added as a bonus, Google has again begun blocking Microsoft's...

The man whose anti-Muslim film was wrongly cited for sparking protests that led to the Benghazi debacle doesn’t hold a grudge against the U.S. government, although he was shocked at how it all played out and is working on a book about his experience. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper after his release from prison, says the Obama administration acted irresponsibly in initially linking the deadly terror attack last September 11 on the U.S. diplomatic compound in eastern Libya to outrage over “The Innocence of Muslims.” The 55-year-old Egyptian-American has been granted supervised release from a federal prison,...

As I reported in last night’s news feed, the new French Counterjihad celebrity, known everywhere only by her soubriquet “The Blonde”, was suppressed by YouTube: Google’s behemoth took all three of her videos down.

Commentary: Easy to watch anything on the Internet on your TV*****************************************************Thinking of C-SPAN from their Archives.*********************************By Carol Kopp Here’s what all the noise was about on Monday morning. At Netflix headquarters, people were cheering. At the big cable companies , they were shaking in their boots. At Amazon , one executive might have been trying to explain what went wrong. At Google , they were just quietly smiling. It was all about a thumb-size, $35 gadget called Google Chromecast that came out last week with little fanfare, almost as an afterthought to the announcement of a new version of its...

My great nephew. This must go viral.

SNIPPET: "Today the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) announced the arrest of two Canadian-born citizens, John Stuart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody, in a terror plot targeting a public gathering at the British Columbia Legislature in Victoria on Canada Day, July 1. According to online court records, Nuttall and Korody appeared at the Surrey Provincial Court this morning. The two suspects face charges that include "conspiring to place an explosive in or against a place of public use, a government or public facility, with the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury, for the benefit of, at the direction...
