Cheerleader-to-soldier: Philly Eagles girl turns in pom-poms for rifle - Washington Times

Cheerleader-to-soldier: Philly Eagles girl turns in pom-poms for rifle - Washington Times

Rachel Washburn, 25, was a cheerleader with the Philadelphia Eagles when she decided a career shift was in order. So she traded in her pom-poms and signed on the dotted Army contract line — and she’s since been serving as an intelligence officer with a special ops combat unit in Afghanistan.

She just returned from her second tour, and is set to receive a “Hometown Hero” honor ceremony at Sunday’s Eagles game at home against the Chicago Bears. Part of her overseas strengths comes from the fact she’s able to interact with village women at a different level than her male soldier counterparts — even helping one deliver a baby during a massive snowstorm, USA Today reported.

Washington Times: 'Little guy' wins high court fight with EPA


Washington Times: 'Little guy' wins high court fight with EPA

In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court gave an Idaho couple another chance Wednesday to challenge a government ruling barring construction of their dream house on property the Environmental Protection Agency deemed to be a "wetland." Photo Credit: AP http://times247.com/articles/little-guy-wins-high-court-fight-with-epa

The Supreme Court gave an Idaho couple another chance Wednesday to challenge a government ruling barring construction of their "dream house," an important property rights defeat for the Obama administration.

The justices unanimously ruled Chantell and Mike Sackett can appeal a compliance order that said wetlands on their residential lot were improperly filled with rocks and dirt. A building permit was then revoked. ...

"The Supreme Court has come to our rescue," Mike Sackett said just after the decision was issued, "and reminded the EPA — and everyone — that this is still America, and Americans still have rights under the Constitution."
