Pontiac — Several Metro Detroit police agencies have set up a task force to cope with a rash of 16 roadway shootings in Oakland, Livingston and Ingham counties over the past three days. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard in a news conference Friday told reporters that law enforcement officials in the three counties and the Michigan State Police have formed a task force to catch the person or people involved in shooting at random motorists before somebody dies. Bouchard asked the public to report suspicious activity on the road, no matter how insignificant it might seem.

Hi, everybody. In recent weeks, you might have noticed something. Or maybe even heard the sound of it if you live close enough. New homes are going up. In fact, construction workers are breaking ground on new homes in America at the fastest pace in more than four years. At the same time, more homes are being sold. Home values are back on the rise.

A meteor shower spawned by history’s most famous comet will peak this weekend, and the show could be dazzling for observers with clear skies, experts say. The Orionid meteor shower will reach its zenith overnight from Saturday to Sunday (Oct. 20-21) as Earth plows through debris shed by Halley’s Comet on its path around the sun. The most impressive display should come a few hours before dawn Sunday, when our planet hits the densest patch of Halley’s detritus. "Flakes of comet dust hitting the atmosphere should give us dozens of meteors per hour," Bill Cooke,

I had no idea this video would be so powerful before I started watching it. In fact at the moment I’m filled with anger after having heard the stories of those who survived, that Hasan is still alive 3 years after his ruthless massacre – but even more so that they are currently arguing in court whether he can keep his beard! And then on top of that I’m reminded that this administration labeled this Islamic terrorist attack as “workplace violence” which means those who survived it are ineligible for the purple heart and the families of those

Seattle – A Seattle school has banned students from celebrating a new holiday this year: Halloween. Lafayette Elementary School has decided to not allow students to dress up in costume for Halloween this year. And there is still some discrepancy between parents and the administration as to why the ban has been implemented this fall. The decision was first reported by the district (Seattle Public Schools) as being a preventative measure in the event that Halloween costumes could offend and upset students who come from other cultures. Dozens of parents complained to the school

DAYTONA BEACH — If Mitt Romney wanted an environment to loosen an uptight corporate image, he found it Friday night at the Bandshell. Steps away from the World's Most Famous Beach, at a venue surrounded by tens of thousands of leather-clad bikers, Romney made his pitch to replace Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. He didn't need long -- about 12 minutes -- with a crowd of 10,000 or so supporters who, judging from their reaction, had long ago made up their minds about how to vote Nov. 6.

Whether or not Mitt Romney makes it to the White House, his candidacy signals that Mormons have arrived in American political life. Just as President Obama’s nomination and election marked a sea change in the country’s tortured racial history, so Romney’s nomination has changed religious boundaries that have persisted for more than 160 years. No religious group has been more persecuted by the U.S. government, or more derided by other faiths present in the country, than the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or the LDS Church, as many Mormons refer to it).

Hello, I’m Jeff Flake, congressman from Arizona’s Sixth District.Last week, the Obama Administration confirmed that the budget deficit for fiscal year 2012 will be $1.1 trillion dollars. This will mark the fourth year in a row that the federal government has spent more than it has taken in to the tune of over a trillion dollars. With the school year under way across the country, it is not comforting to think that the class of 2012 who were freshmen along with this President graduated without knowing what it was like to be in high school without the term ‘trillion dollar deficit’ being ever present in the news.

RealtyTrac, which advertises itself as the “leading online marketplace of foreclosure properties,” released its Foreclosure Market Report for September and Q3 2012 on Oct. 11. In the report, RealtyTrac reported that foreclosure activity dropped to a 5-year low in September. This week, President Obama’s campaign officials and surrogates adopted the report as a new talking point. On MSNBC, Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter credited Obama with producing “the lowest foreclosure rate in the last five years.” Obama surrogate Jennifer Granholm and campaign press secretary Jen Psaki used the same talking point over the past week.

Mitt Romney's rise in business and politics has served as a marketing bonanza for two of his wife's closest relatives, both Utah-based businessmen who have benefited from, and are said to have traded on, their connection to the presidential candidate even as they suffered a succession of embarrassing business and legal difficulties. Ann Romney's brother Roderick Davies, who filed for bankruptcy in 2010, and nephew Ryan Davies, who oversaw a now-bankrupt green energy venture, have both been out on the campaign trail to offer support for Romney.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) now owes $15 million to the union-owned Amalgamated Bank of New York, campaign finance records show. The DNC received a $7 million loan from the bank in September, in addition to the $8 million loan it took out the previous month, neither of which has been paid back. The loans account for the majority of the committee’s $20 million in total debt. The DNC paid Amalgamated Bank more than $18,000 in loan interest for the month of September, the records show.

Obama For America took out a $15 million loan from Bank of America last month, according to the campaign’s October monthly FEC report. The loan was incurred on September 4 and is due November 14, eight days after the election. OFA received an interest rate of 2.5% plus the current Libor rate. Warren Buffett, Obama donor and namesake of the infamous “Buffett Rule,” invested $5 billion in Bank of America last year in an effort to help the ailing financial institution.

BRIDGEPORT, Ct. - Late last week, Rep. Chris Murphy, the Democratic contender for Senate in Connecticut, stopped in at El Flamboyan restaurant in Bridgeport. This is one of poorest sections of the state's most populous city and home to the kind of Democratic Party loyalists Murphy needs in droves if he is to win on November 6. With time running out before election day, he is locked in a close race with Republican Linda McMahon to fill the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Joseph Lieberman.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.— Mitt Romney blasted President Obama’s reelection effort as the “incredible shrinking campaign” at a rally on Friday, in what is scheduled to be his last appearance on the campaign trail before Monday’s third and final presidential debate. Appearing with his running mate Paul Ryan at a rally at an outdoor band shell overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Romney said the Obama campaign has been reduced to “petty attacks” and “word games.” “The Obama campaign has become the incredible shrinking campaign,” Romney said. “This is a big country, with big challenges and they keep talking about smaller

On Friday night’s broadcast of “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel, host Sean Hannity asked Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer why the White House waited so long to acknowledge that the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi was a pre-planned terrorist strike. According to Krauthammer, the Obama administration delayed announcing the news primarily to protect the president’s image on foreign policy. “They had two reasons to lie,” Krauthammer said. “The first reason was the fact that the Sept. 11 attack occurred a week after they just spent four days in Charlotte dancing

The U.S government was told within 24 hours of the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an anti-Islam video. The assault, on the anniversary of September 11 last month, left U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American officials dead. The revelation could be damaging as the Obama administration maintained publicly for a week that the attack on the diplomatic mission was a result of the mobs. It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA

Virginia Marine Shaun Duling recently returned home to the U.S. from a year-long deployment in Afghanistan with a broken heart and a worn-in dog collar that belonged to a friend he was forced to leave behind --and that he feared he would never see again. The collar belonged to Bolt, a stray dog that became Duling's closest companion during a long and lonely winter in Afghanistan. When Duling left the country last month to return home to Alexandria, Virginia, Duling and Bolt had become inseparable, making Duling's homecoming painfully bittersweet.

Republicans are bracing themselves for Gloria Allred to make a potentially damaging revelation about Mitt Romney, just weeks before the election. The pro-President Obama lawyer is rumoured to be preparing for her so-called 'October surprise' in which she will strike the Republican presidential hopeful's chances by unearthing some sort of secret or scandal. Ms Allred has refused to comment on the rumours, which first surfaced in a tweet by the Drudge Report's Matt Drudge on Thursday. 'Here she comes.

As the left continues to advocate for further restrictions on the Second Amendment, others are using it to save their lives. This past Wednesday a young 12-year old girl in Bryan County, Oklahoma was able to protect her life when an intruder kicked in her back door and entered her house. Frantically, she called her mother who advised her to grab their household gun, hide in the closet, and call 911. The intruder made his way through the house, and as he was opening the door of the closet, the young girl shot him through the closet door.

At a huge rally here on the beach in Florida amid Biketoberfest, a bike rally that draws tens of thousands of motorcycle owners, Mr. Romney and his running mate, Rep.

The Obama administration rejected requests for more security in Benghazi amid growing signs of terror threats because it wanted to portray Libya as a calm country and foreign policy success, according to leaders of the House Oversight Committee. The administration "made a policy decision to put Libya into a 'normalized' country status as quickly as possible," starting in November, stated a letter to President Obama from Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and National Security Subcommittee Chairman Jason Chaffetz. (Snip) That policy was why State withdrew security personnel and resources from Benghazi, including a DC-3 aircraft
