An Energy Department appointee resigned Thursday amid controversy stemming from comments he made online and later claimed were the result of hacking.

CNN reported that William Bradford, the director of the Energy Department's Office of Indian Energy, stepped down just two days after the news network reported on inflammatory comments from a user appearing to be Bradford on the online commenting service Disqus.

Bradford told CNN that the comments were the result of "cyber attacks and Internet crimes" that had been going on for several years.

The comments called former President Barack Obama's mother a "fourth rate porn actress and whore."

Another comment contends that Obama's birth certificate is "an obvious fake."

Bradford came under fire for online behavior in June, after posting offensive tweets, including one suggesting that Obama received a "mission from Tehran" and calling him a "Kenyan creampuff."

Why won't he accept the help that Mexico offered?
Is he afraid it might offend his base to take help from those drug dealing, raping Mexicans?

He's the first one I can recall having made any ugly comments, and he certainly isn't typical at all.

Why did Obama refuse international help during the oil spill? Especially from the dutch that had the most efficient oil removal vessels in the world?

At least 100 dogs from Texas shelter airlifted to New Jersey.

At least 100 homeless dogs that were awaiting adoption in San Antonio, Texas, shelters are being relocated to facilities in the northeast to free up space for animals displaced by Hurricane Harvey.

Workers trapped inside Houston bakery bake bread for Harvey victims.

Lines were stretched outside Houston's El Bolillo Bakery's doors last week as news of Hurricane Harvey's impending arrival spread.

The bakery staff worked around the clock — 24 hours a day — to fill orders.

By Friday night, hours before Harvey made landfall, every shelf was empty.

"We shut down the stores, sold out of bread at all of our stores and made sure employees could get home safely at a good time," Kirk Michaelis, owner of El Bolillo Bakery, told CBS News.

On Saturday night, a handful of employees called Michaelis, asking if they could prepare to re-open on Sunday. He agreed, and they headed to El Bolillo Bakery's Wayside location, on the southeast side of the city.

But the workers weren't prepared for just how much worse the flooding was going to get.

"It started raining really bad. The rain increased, dropping like 10 inches in three hours and it flooded the area where they were," Michaelis. "There was no exit for them. They couldn't get out. So, they made bread."

Four bakers were trapped inside the Mexican bakery for two days.

Instead of panicking, the men put on their aprons and began kneading dough. For hours, they baked bolillos — Mexican sweet bread — pastries and their signature pan dulce.

Some of the employees worked 20 hours straight.

By the time Michaelis was able to rescue the crew on Monday, every display case was filled with hundreds of loaves of bread. They baked their way through 4,000 pounds of flour.

"It was amazing. I think it was a way to keep their minds off of what was happening outside," Michaelis said. "They were trying to produce as much product as they could for the bakery."

Knowing there was a huge need in the city, Michaelis loaded up his Jeep with the food and delivered it free of charge to first responders, police officers, nursing homes and local shelters.

The dogs who were shipped out of Texas were not the dogs that belong to the hurricane victims.
They were the dogs that were already in the shelters before the storm.

They are being moved to other states to make room in the shelters in Texas for the dogs of hurricane victims, so that when they want to reclaim their pets, they will be close to home.

You can't blame the media for the **** that comes out of his own mouth.
We have eyes and ears you know.
We can read what he Tweets and hear what he says for ourselves.
His wounds are self-inflicted.

I agree that the Dems need to bring in some new blood.
Somebody under 70 would be nice.
