Fox10 reports a group of teens in the gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual community headed up north for the weekend.
A bus of over 200 teens were taken from Phoenix to Prescott for a weekend that most of them spend all year looking forward to.
"Camp is basically, probably the greatest thing that ever happened to me," said Bradley Hafalia."
Hafalia is making his second trip to outdoors camp. He says last year he felt empowered.
"For me, I loved it. Last year it was phenomenal. I was so comfortable," said Hafalia.
"I'm just really looking forward to being myself, being around people I don't have to hide anything from, ya know, it's kind of just, like, a nice get away from anything," said Nirvana Dasilva.
Dasilva can't wait to take part in the weekend, which is sponsored by the group One N Ten. Like most LGBTQ teens, she often feels like she's misunderstood.
"A lot of people can be really mean. Not just being different, this let's you be unique and be yourself," said Dasilva.More here
Daily Callerreports immediately following his statement from the Rose Garden on Saturday, which President Barack Obama said he would delay a strike on Syria until seeking authorization from Congress, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer took to Fox News to slam the president.Krauthammer criticized Obama for the way he has handled the unfolding of events surrounding the crisis in Syria.“[T]he most astonishing thing is the lack of any urgency,” Krauthammer said. “As you say, Congress will be back in a week. He says, ‘I can strike in a day or a week or a month,’ as if he is a judge handing down a sentence and the execution can be any time in the future. There is a war going on. Do you think everybody is going to hold their breath, hold their arms, step aside until Obama decides when he wants to go to Congress?

Fox News reports President Obama announced Saturday that he has concluded the United States should take military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his regime for using chemical weapons on civilians, but will first seek authorization from Congress.“This menace must be confronted,” Obama said of the Assad regime’s alleged strike, speaking from the Rose Garden.The announcement, though, sets up a timetable for debate that could drag on for weeks.Obama said he would wait for Congress to return from recess; members are not scheduled to return until Sept. 9. Yet the president claimed any military response to Syria is “not time sensitive” and would be effective even one month from now.The decision to seek congressional authorization is a departure from the administration’s decision to intervene in Libya in 2011. Though the president said he thinks he has the authority to order a military strike, he made clear he will ask Congress to vote on the issue.“I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets,” the president said. He added: “I’m also mindful that I’m president of the world’s oldest constitutional democracy.”The administration will now proceed with a series of briefings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill lasting through the weekend, as it tries to build its case for military intervention. Obama indicated he will not wait for either approval from the U.N. Security Council or the conclusion of U.N. inspectors’ investigation into the Syria attack.
Obama said a U.S. strike, which is expected to be an offshore missile attack, would not include U.S. soldiers in Syria and would be limited in scope.After failing to win support from the United Nations and the British public for military action in Syria, the Obama administration is just now trying what some lawmakers say it should have been doing from the beginning -- making the case to the American people.
