Man I wish I could go...what an Organization. What a story. If you haven't already..please read Lone Survivor. Wonderful story. Wonderful people. They are everything that is wonderful about this country!
For those not familiar, Luttrell established the Lone Survivor Foundation in 2010 after being awarded the Navy Cross for his actions during Operation RED WINGS, a harrowing event he details in the New York Times best-seller Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation RED WINGS and SEAL Team 10. From this experience in Afghanistan which claimed the lives of many his good friends & brothers in arms, Luttrell dedicated the LSF to pay tribute and give back to those who serve.
On Saturday, Glenn will join Marcus and other distinguished guests — including Texas Governor and GOP presidential hopeful Rick Perry — in Houston to help raise funds for the organization which works to provide support and unique therapeutic opportunities for wounded American service members and their families to help optimize recovery and healing.

Manhattan Mini Storage Launches Politically-Charged Ad Campaign Against Bachmann
Alas...alas....what has happened to the City I grew up in??? This would be funnier if they hit BOTH sides...certainly is enough ammunition out there to do it!..
Manhattan Mini Storage, a New York City-based company that provides residents with moving and personal storage services, has been adopting a risky and potentially-offensive advertising strategy for years: Poking fun at Republicans.
MMS’s politically-charged campaigns may be entertaining to some, but they hold the potential to alienate a portion of the company’s target audience. Perhaps the city’s leftist nature creates a situation ripe for this sort of communication. Still, some have questioned why MMS utilizes this divisive tactic.

Solyndra Not Sole Firm To Hit Rock Bottom Despite Stimulus Funding
AGAIN people...you cannot "create" a successful business without a product that will SELL............not be funded...but SELL!
Solyndra, the solar panel company whose highly publicized failure and consequent investigation by federal authorities has flashed across headlines recently, isn't the only business to go belly up after benefiting from a piece of the $800 billion economic stimulus package passed in 2009.

Despite controversy, White House doubling down on clean energy loans
You can't "create" a successful business if there is no market for their product.....as lovely as "Green" is.....it doesn't work.
The Energy Department (DOE) is not backing down in its efforts to support clean energy companies, despite Republicans pummeling the Obama administration for approving a $535 million loan guarantee to a now-bankrupt solar firm.
The department could approve as many as 15 renewable energy loan guarantees by the end of the month when a program launched under the stimulus law ends.

Marie "Michele" Antoinette - Let them ( US! ) eat cake!"
Hypocrisy Alert! Michele????!!! Really! We should just say "Let them eat cake"....
She's so far above us...she can do what she wants but not we lowly serfs. We're too stupid to figure this out for oursleves....Marie "Michele" Antoinette!!!
Michelle Obama said Thursday that a pledge by the Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants and its sister chains to serve healthier meals is a "breakthrough moment" for the industry.
Darden Restaurants Inc. is pledging to cut calories and sodium in its meals by 20 percent over a decade. Among promised changes for children, a fruit or vegetable side and low-fat milk will become standard with kids' meals unless a substitution is requested.
No more French fries for the little ones unless an adult asks for them.

The attack of the "First Dude"...Todd Palin Responds to Joe McGinniss The Rogue Book
Aside from claiming that the former Alaska governor has snorted cocaine and used marijuana, the book’s author, Joe McGinniss, goes on to write that she has had scandalous affairs. With press for the book beginning to come in a steady stream, Todd Palin (Alaska’s former “First Dude”) isn’t taking the punches sitting down.
In a statement to reporters, Mr. Palin said the book is filled with “disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears.” As for its author, he had plenty more to divulge.

Mission Accomplished..?...!
We are preparing to vamoose Camp Victory just outside of Baghdad. There were once 505 bases for American troops sprinkled around Iraq at the height of our involvement, from whence an American army went out to pacify the bloodthirsty hordes. Now we are down to some 40 bases, and shortly there will be none at all. Perhaps one or two headquarters will remain for a skeleton force of Americans training Iraqi police or military.
Paul Krugman: Rick Perry’s Economic Adviser
You can't write this stuff...oh...I think I said that yesterday....and the day before....and....
Of course we all recognize that bit of inflammatory scare-mongering from Gov. Rick Perry’s book “Fed Up!” in which he tells the inconvenient truth about Social Security that every American knows but no politician is forth-right enough to confront. That in its current state, it is doomed to fail and leave generations that had paid into it stuck without the return they were promised. In short: A Ponzi Scheme.

Obamacare Long Term Coverage a ticking timebomb...
More of that..."We'll find out what's in it once it's passed..."
Even as leading Democrats offered assurances to the contrary, government experts repeatedly warned that a new long-term care insurance plan could go belly up, saddling taxpayers with another underfunded benefit program, according to emails disclosed by congressional investigators.
Part of President Barack Obama's health care law, the program is in limbo as a congressional debt panel searches for budget savings and behind the scenes, administration officials scramble to find a viable financing formula.

Did White House Pressure General Shelton to Help Donor?
The four-star Air Force general who oversees U.S. Space Command walked into a highly secured room on Capitol Hill a week ago to give a classified briefing to lawmakers and staff, and dropped a surprise. Pressed by members, Gen. William Shelton said the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony to make it more favorable to a company tied to a large Democratic donor.
The Tale of Two Jobs Plans
It's been one week since President Barack Obama announced his latest "stimulus" plan, and despite a cross-country road show aimed at selling his proposals to the American people, the commander in chief is finding that his message of more taxes and spending isn't hitting home. Meanwhile, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) has outlined a markedly different way to help the U.S. economy get back on track.
Perry casts himself as spiritual, says his life is shaped by faith
Don't have a problem with religion. A little personal faith could do us all a bit of good.....
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is a man of faith, and one of the big questions about him has been whether he will seek the presidency more as an evangelist or as a job creator.
On the debate stage, Perry has done the latter. But he demonstrated Wednesday that he will not shy away from cloaking his candidacy in his Christianity, delivering an address here at the late Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University that presented his life in deeply spiritual terms and cast his political aspirations as destiny.
In perhaps his most reflective and personal remarks as a Republican presidential candidate, Perry never once said the word he utters just about everywhere else: “jobs.” His 20-minute speech was shorn of policy prescriptions and denouncements of President Obama.

President Obama's Tax On Soup Kitchens
Help me, love me...I'll fix everything....and THEN I'll tax them back into the Stone Age....
Yesterday, it was announced that an astounding 1 in 6 Americans are living in poverty. President Obama's response? To demand a tax on donations to soup kitchens and other charities that help people desperately in need. The President's proposal will impact approximately 40% of all the tax deductible contributions, and essentially penalize soup kitchens, hospitals, and churches that provide essential services to those who need them most. It’s no wonder this tax hike has been rejected on both sides of the aisle.

Cheney: Tea Party Finally Gave GOP Backbone
Amen............
The Tea Party had a significant impact on putting “some spine” into the backs of Congressional Republicans during the debt ceiling debate, former Vice President Dick Cheney told Larry Kudlow Wednesday.
The threat to not raise the debt ceiling was controversial, he said, but it was effectively used to force the Obama administration to sign onto some significant reduction measures.

The 2013 Tax Cliff - Important read!
President Obama unveiled part two of his American Jobs Act on Monday, and it turns out to be another permanent increase in taxes to pay for more spending and another temporary tax cut. No surprise there. What might surprise Americans, however, is how the President is setting up the U.S. economy for one of the biggest tax increases in history in 2013.
What Job 'Training' Teaches? Bad Work Habits
In 1962, Congress passed the Manpower Development and Training Act (MDTA) to provide training for workers who lost their jobs due to automation or other technological developments. Two years later, the General Accounting Office (GAO) discovered that any trainee in this program who held a job for a single day was counted as "permanently employed"—a statistical charade by the Department of Labor to camouflage its lack of results. A decade after MDTA's inception, GAO reported that it was failing to teach valuable job skills or place trainees in private jobs and was marred by an "overriding concern with filling available slots for a particular program," regardless of what trainees actually needed.
Ponzi! Ponzi! Ponzi!
Ponzi! Ponzi! Ponzi! There, I said it. To the extent people believe there are trust funds with their names on them, Social Security is absolutely a Ponzi scheme. So is Medicare. People need to hear it.
Many people think that when the government takes payroll tax from their paychecks, it goes to something like a savings account. Seniors who collect Social Security think they're just getting back money that they put into their "account." Or they think it's like an insurance policy -- you win if you live long enough to get more than you paid in. Neither is true. Nothing is invested. The money taken from you was spent by government that year. Right away. There's no trust fund. The plan is unsustainable. Medicare is worse.

Shine a light on Solyndra...cause it has no power of it's own....
"In fact, the White House had scheduled Vice President Biden's and Secretary Chu's appearances at Solyndra' groundbreaking event prior to DOE even making its final presentation to OMB on the terms of the Solyndra deal," said Rep. Cliff Stearns (R. –Fla.), chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee.
An email from a senior OMB staff member to the office of the vice president sums up the revelation: "We have ended up with a situation of having to do rushed approvals on a couple of occasions...we would prefer to have sufficient time to do our due diligence reviews and have the approval set the date for the announcement rather than the other way around."

Bush Is Evil & Stupid — Obama’s Unhinged Advisor: Not Just an Another Angry Progressive…Paul Krugman ...
Michelle Malkin - Obama Blames Bush!.....Really?!
My syndicated column today expounds on the green phony, crony capitalism that has flourished — and flopped — in the Age of Obama. The latest developments breaking in the Solyndra scandal last night? Obama’s White House tried to rush the $535 million loan review, prompting complaints from financial officials. The White House, naturally, denies any improper intervention, politicization, and string-pulling.
Obama Sends Out Creepy Email: "Sometime Soon, Can We Meet For Dinner?"
This comments on itself.....
President Barack Obama's reelection campaign just sent out this creepy email, with the subject line "Sometime soon, can we meet for dinner," asking supporters to donate to his campaign for a chance to have dinner with Obama.
"Maybe I'll get to thank you in person," it says.
Obama's team has run a similar fundraising gimmick before — and the email says he plans on continuing it throughout the campaign.
We just hope future emails aren't so unsettling.

Joe McGinniss’ New Book The Rogue Accuses Palin of Cocaine Use and Affairs
"Truth has no Agenda"....Palin will prevail. This is enough....I hope the book TANKS.
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin isn’t a stranger to controversy. From Troopergate to conspiracy theories about her son Trig’s birth, John McCain’s 2008 running mate is well-versed in setting the second straight. And that’s a good thing, because the hits just keep on coming.

Congress Mulls Nationwide Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill
Keep Fighting! We'll take back the country soon!!!! Never, ever give up!
Congressional support is growing for a bill that would force all states to honor concealed carry permits issued in any other state, allowing citizens to take their firearms across state lines.
If passed, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011 would be a huge win for Second Amendment advocates, giving a gut punch to many state and municipal gun control efforts.

‘AttackWatch’: New Obama Campaign Website Claims Beck ‘Twists the Facts on Israel’
As I said - this is what happens when they have NO ammunition to fight in the "Arena of Ideas"...
As the Obama campaign machine prepares to kick things into full gear for 2012, the president is relying on some old tricks to give him a leg up on his competition, including recycling one particularly controversial program to fight “disinformation.”
You may recall that in the heat of the health care reform debate, the Obama administration came under fire for encouraging its supporters to collect and forward any “fishy” information about the president’s health care plan directly to the White House:

Bush Admin. Voted AGAINST Solyndra Loan
I am SO SICK of dis-information. Anytime it's "Duck and Cover" with the Obama Administration - it's use "Blame Bush"....is there a real grown-up anywhere in DC these days???
The White House noted to ABC News that the Bush administration was the first to consider Solyndra's application and that some executives at the company have a history of donating to Republicans.
The results of the Congressional probe shared Tuesday with ABC News show that less than two weeks before President Bush left office, on January 9, 2009, the Energy Department's credit committee had voted against offering a loan commitment to Solyndra.

Obama’s Economy Sees Mirror Image Down Under may be Down Under....
It’s as predictable as political leadership gets: When things go awry at home, escape overseas for a while, grip and grin with a foreign head of state and change the subject.
Barack Obama may have this tried-and-true strategy in mind as he plans to visit Australia, which is about as far as a U.S. president can get from the rancor in Washington. Yet as he meets with Prime Minister Julia Gillard in November, it will be hard not to wonder about the weak leadership imperiling not only their economies, but also the world at large.

You don't DESERVE to keep YOUR money...
“I’ll put it this way. You don’t deserve to keep all of it and it’s not a question of deserving because what government is, is those things that we decide to do together. And there are many things that we decide to do together like have our national security. Like have police and fire. What about the people that work at the National Institute of Health who are looking for a cure for cancer,” Schakowsky said.
Schakowsky also says one reason the 2009 stimulus bill did not succeed was because it was not large enough.

Issa, Grassley take 'Fast and Furious' investigation to the White House
Funny timing...the WH is now going "after" Issa.....Who woulda thunk?
Congressional investigators digging into Operation Fast and Furious have, for the first time, asked a senior White House official for documents and communications regarding the gun-walking scandal. In a Friday letter to President Obama’s national security adviser Thomas Donilon, House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa and Senate judiciary committee Ranking Member Sen. Chuck Grassley requested all records and communications involving three senior Obama administration officials regarding Fast and Furious and gun trafficking cases in Phoenix, Ariz.

Solyndra Scandal & the Obama Administration 's Green Agenda at ANY cost...
Solyndra...Fast & Furious...."Green" Jobs....Ha! Great reading over a Dunkin's coffee!
The Obama administration continues to move forward with its “green” agenda, despite new concerns on the heels of a high-profile bankruptcy in the solar-energy sector. More recently, approximately 500 Texans lost their jobs Monday because of Environmental Protection Agency regulations on the energy industry.
And the president has offered no specific regulatory relief, other than a single ozone regulatory proposal he nullified a few weeks ago.

Class Warfare, Pandering Dominate Phone Call Between Biden, Teachers Unions - Big Government
THIS is why I like Charter Schools.....they are like my OLD Public School.....and NO UNIONS!!!!!!
Heat school or keep teachers...PLEASE!!!
In a recording obtained exclusively by PublicSchoolSpending.com, Biden explained the administration is seeking to spend $30 billion to create a “Teacher Layoff Prevention Fund.” He also said that many schools today are “deciding whether or not to heat the school or keep a teacher.”
Like school stimuli-past, Biden said schools would not be able to bank the money, but would be required to spend it. “It’s to be able to keep you at work and even rehire teachers,” he told the unions. So the Obama administration – yet again – is setting up a situation where the problem will be the same next year and the administration will have to propose another bailout or the school sky will fall in and even more kids will graduate unable to read.

Flashback 2007: Tim Russert and Chris Matthews Agree Social Security Is 'A Bad Ponzi Scheme'
Funny....even "They" agree the system is broken....but ONLY if it pertains to them apparently....
Whether or not Social Security is a Ponzi scheme was again a source of great discussion during Monday's Republican presidential debate, and it appears this is likely going to be a hot issue throughout this election cycle.
What should be interesting to participants and pundits alike is that during the last presidential campaign, on November 5, 2007, the late Tim Russert, and Chris Matthews, while talking about the Democrat candidates on an episode of MSNBC's "Hardball" broadcast exactly one year before America elected its first black president, agreed that Social Security was "a bad Ponzi scheme" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

White House pushed $500 million loan to solar company now under investigation
The Obama White House tried to rush federal reviewers for a decision on a nearly half-billion-dollar loan to the solar-panel manufacturer Solyndra so Vice President Biden could announce the approval at a September 2009 groundbreaking for the company’s factory, newly obtained e-mails show.
The Silicon Valley company, a centerpiece in President Obama’s initiative to develop clean energy technologies, had been tentatively approved for the loan by the Energy Department but was awaiting a final financial review by the Office of Management and Budget.

EMP Attack: Worse than 9/11 - this one gives you the chills....
After 9/11, an event that Americans and their allies will never forget, the United States focused on a war on terrorism. There is, however, a threat that has been largely ignored—the threat of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), noted by Investor’s Business Daily. In 2004 and 2008, the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack (also known as the EMP Commission) released its reports on how to protect the United States from an EMP. Despite its recommendations, little progress has been made in protecting the country from an EMP attack and its catastrophic consequences.
Surprising Poverty Statistics for United States Poor
In his address to the joint session of Congress last week, President Barack Obama called for $477 billion in new federal spending, which he said would give hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged young people hope and dignity while giving their low-income parents “ladders out of poverty.” And today, the U.S. Census released its annual poverty report, which declared that 46.2 million persons, or roughly one in seven Americans, were poor in 2010. What President Obama didn’t tell America as he was pleading for more spending–and what the Census Bureau didn’t report–is what it really means to be poor in America.
The Player and the President - Class always shines...
Class once again rises to the top....
When it came time to speak, Obama read woodenly and haltingly, with no sense of emotion, from the prepared text on the teleprompter. In what the Boston Gazette called "a study in contrasts," Obama delivered an unattributed and ill-prepared reading of Psalm 46. The audience seemed dumbfounded as to the point of his selection, and Obama offered no clue as to his intent. It was as if the teleprompter itself had recited Psalm 46 and then shut down, smugly remote and above it all.

Census: US poverty rate swells to nearly 1 in 6
The ranks of U.S. poor swelled to nearly 1 in 6 people last year, reaching a new high as long-term unemployment woes left millions of Americans struggling and out of work. The number of uninsured edged up to 49.9 million, the biggest in over two decades.
The Census Bureau's annual report released Tuesday offers a snapshot of the economic well-being of U.S. households for 2010, when joblessness hovered above 9 percent for a second year. It comes at a politically sensitive time for President Barack Obama, who has acknowledged in the midst of his re-election fight that the unemployment rate could persist at high levels through next year.

‘Let’s Roll’: Ten Years Later, the Message of ‘Flight 93′ Still Resonates
The A&E original film “Flight 93” (2006), begins by showing pilots and flight attendants going through their normal, early morning preparations for flight. It shows travelers of all walks of life passing through airport security en route to the planes they would board for flight that day. There are smiles on some faces, scowls and consternation on others. And between the two pilots of flight 93 there is an obvious light-heartedness, all of which communicate that it’s just another day where average Americans step through the routines of life.
But it wasn’t an average day, as we all know, and the movie communicates this by interweaving clips of terrorists as they prepared to board flight 93, as well.

Horowitz and Beck - a couple of modern day heroes...
BECK: A guy whose parents were actual Communists. He now spends more time fighting for the other side and is probably one of the biggest American heroes alive today. I want you to meet him. Everyone wants meaning in their lives. There is no such thing as social justice. We have to find meaning in the pain. We have to find meaning in joy. When we find meaning in whatever it is we’re doing we not only survive we thrive. David Horowitz has written a book called, “A Point In Time: The Search For Redemption In This Life And The Next.” I just asked David before we came on the air, “Are you dying? Because this is a very philosophical book. You’re not dying are you?

Shane Claiborne & Ben Cohen Launch Jesus Bombs & Ice Cream Fed Spending Tour
These people make my head explode............
“If we’re going to have fewer bombs and more ice cream,” Cohen said, echoing his call for a utopian world predicated upon sweetness, “we need to shift our budget to what helps people live instead of killing people.”
The event also included Logan Laituri, who has become an outspoken anti-war voice, despite the fact that he’s an Iraq veteran and Terry Rockefeller who lost her sister during the September 11 terror attacks.

77 U.S. troops injured in Afghanistan truck bombing
Never, EVER Forget.........
Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan—
The massive Taliban truck bomb that exploded outside an American military base in a restive eastern district injured nearly 80 U.S. troops and killed five Afghans, Western and Afghan officials said Sunday.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place Saturday evening in the Sayedabad district of Wardak province. That is the same district where insurgents last month shot down a U.S. Chinook helicopter, killing 30 American troops, the majority of them Navy SEALs, including some from the unit responsible for killing Osama bin Laden.

Obama’s Bankrupt Green Ideology
On August 31st, Soylandra, a solar manufacturing company president Obama touted as a “testament to American ingenuity and dynamism” when he visited its Freemont, CA facility in 2010, filed for bankruptcy. Eleven hundred workers were laid off immediately. Most of the $535 million in federal loan guarantees made by the Department of Energy is likely lost, along with $1.1 billion in venture capital (VC). That loss represents the largest for venture capitalists in history. In the process, Soylandra has become the focus of competing political philosophies, along with a criminal probe that may extend far up the Obama administration’s food chain.
The Luckiest – How 9/11 Saved My Life
very good read....take the time!
The Luckiest – How 9/11 Saved My Life: For many, Sept. 11, 2001, was a day that will forever be seared into the minds of those who were witness. On that day, the nation was awoken by a harsh reality that there are people who want nothing more than to destroy our freedom, our way of life. That morning, America was brutally scarred for life. It was a day that 19 hijackers, four airplanes, two towers, and one deranged ideology brought the threat of terrorism to the forefront in our country.
For when we think of 9/11, we think of all the things that understandably come to mind. We think of death – the sheer number of Americans killed that day was staggering. We tend to think of terrorists. We think of tragedy, of loss, of hopelessness. We remember watching over 3,000 of our friends and family dying that day, we remember the screams of the heroes on Flight 93, the screams of women and men, mothers and fathers, wives and husbands, who desperately made an attempt to take back a plane scheduled for a suicide mission which surely would have killed many more.
I always have one other thought however – I think of life, and how mine began that day.

Rudy Decries ‘Irrational Application of Political Correctness’ in Handling Terror Threats
President Rerun schedules another Rose Garden finger-wagging session
Time for President Obama to wake up and look like he’s doing something about jobs again!
Today, he’ll take to the Rose Garden with “teachers, police officers, firefighters, construction workers, small business owners and veterans” — read Big Labor supporters with a few non-union tokens tossed in — as he wags his finger again at Capitol Hill to pass the jobs bill.

AP FACT CHECK: Obama’s Jobs Plan Paid For? Seems Not…
Remember this as he drums "Pass this Bill" over and over again!
President Barack Obama’s promise Thursday that everything in his jobs plan will be paid for rests on highly iffy propositions.
It will only be paid for if a committee he can’t control does his bidding, if Congress puts that into law and if leaders in the future – the ones who will feel the fiscal pinch of his proposals – don’t roll it back.

The Years of Shame - and a shame you have this platform to spew this venom...
Yes...."A lot of people behaved ( and behave ) badly...as do you....
What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. Te atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.
A lot of other people behaved badly.
