Standing Strong with Israel | The Foundry

When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits President Barack Obama at the White House today for three hours of meetings, he will likely ask the President a very important question: Do you stand by the long-standing U.S. commitments to Israel’s future as a Jewish state?"

The Cain Train Picks Up Steam

Four years ago at the studios of WSB Radio in Atlanta, I interviewed talk-radio host Herman Cain, who had only recently recovered from cancer. He smiled as he vowed, 'Death's going to have to catch me, and it's going to have to run fast.'"

Tucson Superintendent Backs Down From Plan to Change Radical Curriculum | The Blaze

This isn't just a local story. This is about our Public Education ( and I use that term lightly these days) allowing students to study and determine how to OVERTHROW THE US GOVERNMENT!!! And it's paid for by US!!!
Please go to: http://www.tu4sd.com/
These folks I generally would NOT agree with...however they are social Democrats, Republicans and Independents who FEAR for our country and what is being slowly woven into the fabric of our Public School curriculum while we're all busy trying to survive!!! I am SICK TO DEATH of spending all our energy trying not to "offend" anyone. GROW UP! These people want to take parts of American sovereign land for their own!

The Tucson Unified School District superintendent in the middle of a push to have a radical Mexican-American studies class changed to an elective, has now backed down from his position, even going as far as to issue an apology. The change follows two wild demonstrations at consecutive school board meetings, one in which students chained themselves to desks, and another in which the riot police were called in."

College Students Sign Petition to ‘Ban’ Rush, Beck From Radio — But Love Free Speech | The Blaze

Wonder what you spend all that college tuition money for? Me too. Bet not one of these social intellectual "giants" have ever listened to either....free speech is "free"...but just for "certain" people...who decides? WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!

Oliver Darcy is doing his part to expose liberal ideas and hypocrisy on college campuses. Last month he produced two videos showing students willing to redistribute wealth but not grades and also refusing to pay their share of the national debt. Now he’s back, and this time he’s showing how college students who say they support free speech are willing to sign a petition to “ban” Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and other conservatives from the airwaves.

In the video, the students are not only willing to sign the petition, but some even offer their thoughts on Beck and those like him."

Family Facing $4 Million in Fines for Selling Bunnies - Big Government

Maybe it's time for the Easter Bunny to Organize....

Almost nine months after a Missouri dairy was ordered to stop selling cheese made from raw milk, I share details of another hare-raising story from the Show-Me State: John Dollarhite and his wife Judy of tiny Nixa, Mo., have been told by the USDA that, by Monday, they must pay a fine exceeding $90,000. If they don’t pay that fine, they could face additional fines of almost $4 million. Why? Because they sold more than $500 worth of bunnies — $4,600 worth to be exact — in a single calendar year."

American Thinker: The US is Running Out of Ammunition for the Coming Economic Crisis

Tim Geitner intimated this week something BIG was on the horizon....makes ya feel warm and fuzzy, ey?

Lately one of the primary topics discussed among my business associates in Europe is the question: How long before we [the U.S. and the world] confront a new financial crisis? In fact, an overview of the financial landscape indicates there are many potential triggers that could initiate a new catastrophe."

American Thinker Blog: Is the IRS sending a message?

The Republicans, all members of the Senate Finance Committee, which has oversight of the I.R.S., said they were concerned that political considerations might have played a role in the agency's decision to scrutinize such donations more closely. The senators are seeking the names of any agency staff members involved in that decision, along with internal documents and any correspondence with White House officials."

Sarah Palin | Presidential Candidate | Fire In My Belly | The Daily Caller

Good....like her or not....she'll keep the literal flames fanned. Just what we NEED!

The question remains — will former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin run for president, or won’t she?

In a Thursday appearance on “On the Record” on the Fox News Channel, host Greta Van Sustren asked Palin if she had the “fire in the belly’ for such a run, especially after former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee announced he would not be running in 2012 on his Saturday night show.

Palin’s response: She does indeed."

Obama: Hey, You Know What’s Hilarious? Those Somali Pirates Who Executed Four Americans…

Wednesday, May 18, at a DNC event in Boston President Obama took to the podium to tout his accomplishments to the local political scene. Along with illegal immigration and the economy, the President also took time to joke about piracy. . .

“Along the way, we dealt with H1N1 and an oil spill and pirates. (Laughter.) Do you remember pirates? (Laughter.) Golly. (Laughter.) Thomas Jefferson had to deal with pirates. I thought we were past that.” (Laughter.)

Apparently the President “dealt” with pirates in a very unique way. In February four Americans were captured and killed by fifteen Somali pirates, and on Monday, May 16th eight of them were offered plea deals."

Paul Ryan’s Budget is Good for America | The Foundry

When considering Representative Paul Ryan’s (R–WI) budget plan, it goes without saying that if one disagrees with Ryan’s vision, then of course he or she won’t like his plan, regardless of whether it fixes our budget problems.

It is important, then, to consider his vision: Is smaller government a worthy goal?"

Stop Demonizing Oil Profits | The Foundry

Last week, Members of Congress called big oil executives to the stand to defend the high profits their companies are making. Some in Congress are using high oil profits as a reason to propose eliminating what they label “oil subsidies,” despite the fact that what they call subsidies are broadly available tax breaks. You can get a breakdown in this paper: “What’s an Oil Subsidy?”"

Stephen Colbert's Free Speech Problem - WSJ.com

Comedy Central funnyman Stephen Colbert, like most of his friends and allies on the left, thinks that last year's Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC is, literally, ridiculous. To make his case that the ruling invites 'unlimited corporate money' to dominate politics, Mr. Colbert decided to set up a political action committee (PAC) of his own. So far, though, the joke's been on him."

NLRB Comes to Big Labor's Defense | The Foundry

It’s hard to imagine Uncle Sam telling Walt Disney where to make movies or McDonald’s how many hamburgers to make, but if you take a look at the case of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) versus Boeing, you’ll see that the federal government is trying to do just that: dictate where and how private industry may do business. And it’s doing so to bolster one of President Barack Obama’s favorite special interests—labor unions."

Herman Cain | Candidates' Spouses | Campaign | The Daily Caller

We know all about Mrs. Romney, Mrs. Gingrich and Mr. Palin. But what about Mrs. Cain?

“Don’t expect the traditional amount of exposure you normally get from a campaign wife,” Cain said about his wife, Gloria. “She’s not going to do that.”"

New report finds medical costs to rise 8.5 percent in 2012 - The Hill's Healthwatch

And I thought Obama/RomneyCare would LOWER costs...............Huuuummmmmmmmmmm

U.S. employers can expect an 8.5 percent increase in their medical costs next year due in some part to the healthcare reform law, the consulting firm PwC said in a report Wednesday.

The widely read annual report on cost trends points to three main drivers of healthcare costs, two of which are exacerbated by the new law."

Katie Couric's Five Years at CBS Marked by Liberal Agenda and Low Ratings

Thursday, May 19, marks Katie Couric’s last night at the anchor desk of the CBS Evening News. Five years ago, CBS executives were so excited about the Today show star taking over, her September 5, 2006 debut was preceded by a massive publicity campaign. Outgoing interim anchor Bob Schieffer vouched for his replacement: “She’s tough, she’s fair, she’s a straight shooter....Just watch.”"

“It will come again. There will be another storm,” warned Geithner, who in early 2009 succeeded Paulson as treasury secretary. “But it’s not going to come for a while.”

Under mostly gentle questioning from Pulitzer Prize-winning financial writer Liaquat Ahamed and New York Times business columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin, author of the book on which the film is based, Geithner said “I’m certain we will” experience another catastrophe—he just couldn’t say when or what kind."

Why Is Soros Spending Over $48 Million Funding Media Organizations? - FoxNews.com

"Strategy of funding "Journalism ( Yeah-right!?) was a powerful way to influence the American public"...if that line alone doesn't give you a chill...then you are already dead!

It’s a scene journalists dream about – a group of coworkers toasting a Pulitzer Prize. For the team at investigative start-up ProPublica, it was the second time their fellow professionals recognized their work for journalism’s top honor.

For George Soros and ProPublica’s other liberal backers, it was again proof that a strategy of funding journalism was a powerful way to influence the American public."

American Thinker: Why Obama is Just Not That Into You

Funny...my Husband , on the way into work at 4:00 AM , that look at Obama now....how he sniffs at the world. He said "If he behaves like this now, while he's seeking re-election....can you IMAGINE what he'll be like when there's nothing to hold him back". I laughed out loud....then I got quiet....then I got a chill....

There's a psychologist who can predict with 91% accuracy whether a relationship will live or die. His name is Dr. John Gottman, and he runs something called The Marriage Clinic.

Gottman uses several factors to determine which marriages will succeed or fail. But the main one is this: contempt. If a spouse mocks the other, talks down to him, rolls eyes, or sneers, that marriage is a goner."

Geert Wilders Presents: 5 Steps Americans Must Take to Avoid the Fate of Islamized Europe | NewsReal Blog

Wake up America....Wake Up! 9/11 wasn't just one incident...it was the exclamation point to a huge plan.

Never before have I walked into a church to be greeted by a barrier of armed police with metal detector wands. Nor have I had to let officers open my purse to search for weapons before I could enter a sanctuary—that is, until now.

That was when Geert Wilders came to speak at Cornerstone Church in Nashville, Tennessee. He came to warn America, to warn Christians. He came to wake up the Bible Belt to the threat of Islam. But before a single word was spoken, these ominous signs foreshadowed the truth of what was yet to come."

‘Introduction to Labor Studies’ – My First-Hand Account | FrontPage Magazine

Professors Giljum and Ancel used a public university class to promote their own radical political opinions and organizations, and to train students and union members in negotiating tactics that are apparently illegal, and profoundly unethical. Their behavior was highly unprofessional and inappropriate, and the University of Missouri should simply admit that fact and take steps to ensure that classes are not taught in that way ever again."

Neither mother, Khatun or Subrato, has expressed the slightest remorse. Both feel justified because their daughters brought shame to their families. According to the police, Khatun said: “We killed them because they brought shame to our community. How could they elope with Hindus? They deserved to die. We have no remorse.”

This is cold-hearted, barbaric, almost unbelievable. But such Muslim-on-Muslim crimes and woman-on-woman crimes are typical in many parts of the world."

The Indiana Supreme Court Guts the Fourth Amendment | FrontPage Magazine

A ruling by the state of Indiana’s Supreme Court last Thursday in Barnes vs. Indiana has seemingly vacated the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment provision against unreasonable search and seizure. The case involved a domestic dispute and the Court ruled 3-2 that police can force their way into a person’s home without a warrant if they deem such entry is necessary. Writing for the majority, Justice Steven David said that “a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence. We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.”"

Watch out for Herman Cain...found him about 18 months ago after reading something he wrote. He's EXCELLENT! Great FACEBOOK site!

With Mike Huckabee out of the race for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, three well-known politicians, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Newt Gingrich, emerge as leaders in Republicans' preferences. Republicans, however, have less intensely positive feelings about these three than they did about Huckabee. Two less well-known potential candidates, Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain, generate high levels of enthusiasm among Republicans who recognize them."

An FDA advisory panel has recommended delisting Avastin from official government formularies for late-stage breast cancer treatment due to cost concerns. If this happens, Avastin will no longer be covered by Medicare. And private insurance companies, which follow the government’s lead, would likely deny coverage for the drug."

Myth-Busting the Debt Limit | The Foundry

The United States today hit an all-time high debt, passing $14 trillion, according to Associated Press reports. And with $45,300 of debt for every man, woman and child in the United States, it’s clear as day that spending is the problem.

Could Technical Default Today Save America from Greek-Style Fiscal Disaster in the Future? - Big Government

Here’s a sure-fire prediction, assuming GOPers in the House actually are willing to engage in an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with Obama on the debt limit.

o There will be lots of political drama.

o We will get to a point where the federal government exhausts its borrowing authority.

o At that point, either Geithner or Bernanke (or probably both) will make some completely dishonest statements designed to rattle financial markets.

o The establishment media will echo those statements.

o The stock market and/or bond market will have a negative reaction.

o Republican resolve will evaporate like a drop of water in the Mojave Desert.

o The debt limit will be increased without any meaningful fiscal reform."

HHS approves 200 more new healthcare reform waivers - The Hill's Healthwatch

But WAIT! Whoa Nellie! Isn't this supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread????? We "Little" people have to deal with it!?!?!?!?!? Why do you think everyone is bailing....because once they "voted for it" to find out "What's in it" they realized what a piece of GARBAGE they'd voted into law??????

The Obama administration approved 204 new waivers to Democrats' healthcare reform law over the past month, bringing the total to 1,372.

The waivers are temporary and only apply to one provision of the law, which requires health plans to offer at least $750,000 worth of annual medical benefits before leaving patients to fend for themselves. Still, Republicans have assailed the waivers as a sign of both favoritism and of major problems with the law."
