Happy Friday!
“She is more than welcome to come on the program and I already know exactly how I would begin it,” Kelly said. She then raised her hand, palm out, and said, “how.” Chuckling, she then threw it over to Smith.
“Oh my god, Megyn. Are you kidding me?” Smith asked jokingly. “You’re out of your mind.”

The 86 million invisible unemployed.....
There are far more jobless people in the United States than you might think.
While it's true that the unemployment rate is falling, that doesn't include the millions of nonworking adults who aren't even looking for a job anymore. And hiring isn't strong enough to keep up with population growth.
As a result, the labor force is now at its smallest size since the 1980s when compared to the broader working age population.

Labor Force Shrinks In April, Participation Rate At 31-Year Low; Disability Ranks Grow.....
Sure makes you feel warm & fuzzy about the future of America...doesn't it?
The civilian labor force shrank in April by 342,000 workers, and remains below where it stood when the economic recovery started 34 months ago, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Had the labor force not declined, unemployment would have been 8.3% in April, instead of the 8.1% reported.
That same month, more than 225,000 workers applied for Social Security disability benefits, and nearly 90,000 were enrolled, according to new data from the Social Security Administration.

Panetta: Climate change a national security threat....REALLY? This is all you have?
Let's see...we have REAL human beings trying to destroy America and we are calling global warming a terrorist threat....good lord.....put lipstick on that pig!
"The area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security," Panetta told the Environmental Defense Fund last night. "Rising sea levels, severe droughts, the melting of the polar caps, the more frequent and devastating natural disasters all raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief."
The Defense Secretary must have missed Examiner Columnist Mona Charen's recent piece on how symbols of global warming aren't working out the way environmentalists predicted.

Son of Soros, 1-Percenters Fuel Wisconsin Recall.....
The Soros Family has NO problem exploiting America's Capitalist system to make their millions....but do everything thing to tear it down....to what end?
Rebuild it in their likeness...?!...that should give you chills Folks! The Recall Scott Walker campaign has been leading the way with its negative ads against the Republican governor. The group of funders behind it is well known to Wisconsin and especially to the elite liberal establishment in the state. And at a time when the left is railing against “the 1 percent,” it won’t be a surprise to many to learn that the organization itself is largely comprised of 1 percenters like Jonathan Soros, son of the hedge fund billionaire.
Enough Already: Contempt Process Begins Against Holder on Fast and Furious.....
ABOUT DAMN TIME! Read Katie Pavlich's book "Fast & Furious"...trust me, you will be.....
The draft consists of a briefing paper and 48 pages that will be distributed to Democrats and Republicans.
According to the documents the Department of Justice has given “false denials, given answers intended to misdirect investigators, sought to intimidate witnesses, unlawfully withheld subpoenaed documents, and waited to be confronted with indisputable evidence before acknowledging uncomfortable facts.”

Obama Praises Nazi Supporter in Jewish Heritage Month Proclamation....
Nazi's...Muslim Brotherhood...you name it at the White House ...what's next..Lord Voltermort?
The White House claimed that the inclusion of Stein had been a mistake, the result of an earlier draft of the proclamation released in error. However, Algemeiner preserved a screen shot of the original proclamation, which remained on the White House website after the new press release had been drafted.

Christians & Veterans Rally In Support of Woonsocket Cross & Memorial | Video | TheBlaze.com
These "Groups" ...these cowards take on anyone they think they can wear down financially. Municipalities are giving in to them all across the Fruited Plain because their budgets are on life support.
They are utilizing the Recession to make as many inroads as they can into our lives..into our beliefs. GOOD FOR THESE FOLKS!
If I'd of known...I'd of brought more people down to stand with them against these nameless faceless cowards that want to destroy our way of life. You don't like the Cross....look away!
On Wednesday, American flags were ferociously waving and patriotic songs rang out, as Christians, veterans and other supporters of an embattled WWI and WWII memorial in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, assembled in support of the structure.
Last week, The Blaze first reported about the secular Freedom From Religion Foundation’s (FFRF) demand that the monument, which includes a cross, be removed from public lands. In response, an estimated 1,500 people assembled against atheists’ demands and in support of the monument.

From $2,000 dress to $1,000 skirt, Michelle Obama's lavish Hawaii wardrobe revealed.....
I have NO problem with her doing this.....NONE. However DO NOT play the Class Card with the Romney's. You are BOTH successful. And as such...are reaping the rewards....stop being disingenuous.....and I'm being kind.
Michelle Obama successfully managed to rile U.S. taxpayers with her lavish $4m family jaunt to Hawaii this Christmas.
But it seems her expensive taste has not stopped there, as her vacation wardrobe has proved to be equally lavish.
Though the First Lady has only been spotted on a couple of occasions since arriving in Kailua, Oahu, some sartorial analysis of her fashion choices has revealed that her outfits have been consistently high-end.

After Ignoring Michelle Obama’s Expensive Wardrobe For Years, Lib Media Is Suddenly Interested in Ann Romney’s Pricey Clothes ......
Last month at the Kids’ Choice Awards, Michelle Obama wore an outfit designed by New York-based, uber-expensive designer, Wes Gordon. His clothing commands prices in the thousands of dollars and can only be found in the elite stores of the super wealthy. If you enjoy spending more than $4,000 on a pair of shorts…yes that is three zeroes after the comma…then you might like this little jacket from one of Michelle Obama’s favorite designers. It’s a steal for only $2,250. Of course, we never heard one peep out of the Liberal mainstream media on Michelle Obama’s high-priced clothing.
Bill Ayers Tells University of Oregon Students that America’s Game is Over and a New World is Coming.....
DANGER! Will Robinson-DANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The great challenge for our generation [is] to find a way not just to live differently as individuals, but to find a way to think differently about what work means, to think differently about citizenship means, to think differently about what it means to be a ‘citizen of the world.’ One of the great dangers that we live in right now, is I don‘t think there’s any question, and I don’t think any of you would question, that the American Empire is in decline–that economically, and politically, and in some ways culturally, that we are in decline. And yet, the United States remains the most powerful, weaponized military system the Earth has ever known.

Empowering Individuals or Bureaucrats? Paul Ryan
One of the ONLY Politicians worthy of our time and consideration in DC these days.
In March, as the Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of President Obama's partisan health care law, the American people saw an event that could mark the end of bureaucrat-controlled health care. At the same time, just across the street in the halls of Congress, they witnessed a powerful reaffirmation of the American Idea as the House of Representatives passed the Path to Prosperity—a budget for the federal government.

Irony—Police Shut-down Event Promoting U.S. Constitution. ......
At first the Allegan police chief police indicated he shut down the event because of threats to one of the speakers, Kamal Saleem; however, shortly thereafter, the chief admitted to a reporter that there was no specific threat to the event and no real danger at all. In fact, no specific threats of violence relating to the event were received by the City of Allegan, its police department, the Allegan Public School District or Allegan Public High School.
Police gave as their reason, the appearance of one of the featured speakers, Kamal Saleem, a former Muslim terrorist who converted to Christianity. Saleem has spoken at numerous high schools and universities, Christian churches and Jewish temples across the nation. He has also spoken at the U. S. Air Force Academy, Michigan’s State Capital, and Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. At no time before the Allegan event or afterwards has an event where he has spoken been shut down by law enforcement.

MoveOn’s Quest to Outlaw the Term “Illegal Immigrant” ....
Funny how the word "Illegal" ONLY pertains to "Legal" citizens and THEIR actions....not of those actually BREAKING OUR LAWS!
Just when you would think that the far Left Obama booster organization MoveOn.org could not get any more ridiculous, it sinks to ever lower levels of absurdity. The latest example involves MoveOn’s push to render the phrase “illegal aliens” or “illegal immigrants” hate speech.

Senator Kerry in Talks with Muslim Brothers Presidential Candidate |....
The funny thing is...these guys ( our guys ) really believe this. They think if they "make nice" with these guys ( bad guys ) when they come for America...they will be immune from the backlash. They don't understand they'd be the front line....

“We are doing this because we are tired of the media not doing their job,” he said. ”We are tired of the PR propaganda coming out of places like Media Matters, and we are tired of this administration stonewalling over things like Fast and Furious.”

Will The Tea Party Fight or Retreat? ....
The Old Time GOP isn't much better than the current Liberals running the show...they go along to get along...it's in THEIR best interest...not ours...something they seem to forget....something WE need to remind them of....
The Club For Growth, the Madison Project, and scores of other free market conservative groups are backing Dr. Keadle. We have the opportunity to pick this seat up from a Democrat and, even better, replace that Democrat with a conservative willing to stand up to his own party against its big spending too.
Or . . . we can settle for another yes man for Eric Cantor.

Author Stephen King Slams the GOP & Calls for Higher Taxes on the Wealthy In Virulent Op-Ed......
Pay more yourself, Steve...
I don't think the Government is doing a good job spending our cash...so we'll handle it ourselves. But Have AT It, Mr. King. NOBODY is topping YOU from writing a check now are they? You and your wife are generous...AMEN.
However you cannot legislate common sense and decency on EITHER side.....Author Stephen King is known for his horror stories that hold the potential to scare the pants off of readers. But now, he’s using his fame and editorial talents to target more specific subsets of the American public — the so-called 1 percent and conservatives who tout small-government tax policies. In a new article for The Daily Beast on Monday entitled, “Tax Me, for F@%&’s Sake!,” the famed author sounds off on his penchant for increased taxes for the wealthy.
Matthews: "So Proud" Of Obama Addressing Troops In Afghanistan......
Another "Tingle" up his leg moment no doubt!
"It was right out of Henry V actually, a touch of Barry, in this case, in the night for those soldiers risking their lives over there," Matthews said.
"Well that's great stuff. I was so proud of the President there, I must say. This has nothing to do with partisanship; this is the Commander-in-Chief meeting with the troops," Chris Matthews gushed on his program today.

Solyndra Not Dealing With Toxic Waste At Milpitas Facility .....
How "Green" is my valley...???...apparently not very after Solyndra goes toxic. As I said...you can't write this stuff....
Three months ago, CBS 5 caught Solyndra tossing millions of dollars worth of brand new glass tubes used to make solar panels. Now the bankrupt solar firm, once touted as a symbol of green technology, may be trying to abandon toxic waste.

A beating at Church and Brambleton......
Read this carefully and then think about everything contained within as it relates to the Travon Martin case...makes one pause...does it not....
Forster and Rostami wondered if the officer who answered their call treated all crime victims the same way. When Rostami, who admits she was hysterical, tried to describe what had happened, she says the officer told her to shut up and get in the car. Both said the officer did not record any names of witnesses who stopped to help. Rostami said the officer told them the attackers were "probably juveniles anyway. What are we going to do? Find their parents and tell them?"
The officer pointed to public housing in the area and said large groups of teenagers look for trouble on the weekends. "It's what they do," he told Forster.

Ben Franklin would say our online liberty is the same as liberty itself .....
I’ve been deeply involved in issues of America’s cyberdefense for years. The difference between that work, and what I’m working on this month, is that my current project has me thinking deeply about the totality of the cyberthreat, and what attacks and breaches mean to America as a whole.
So let me cut to the chase. No matter what anyone tells you, no matter what any well-meaning blogger or so-called security “expert” might post, the cyberthreat is real. Very, very real.

A prominent Native American group says Massachusetts Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren had “better be able to defend” her past claims of being an Indian-American minority.

Ethics office clears Bachus of insider trading.......
Just because he has been "excused"...doesn't mean it's right. Read "Throw them all Out".
The case against Bachus was the first of its kind involving a member of Congress. It came at a time of intense public and media scrutiny of congressional ethics, with the House and Senate passing legislation this year to tighten rules against insider trading by lawmakers. President Obama has signed the measure into law.

During his speech LaHood commented that the transportation department is studying the impact of hands-free devices quite closely, according to the Reuters article. Apparently, LaHood has personally called major automotive CEOs to urge them to “think twice” before putting too many Internet-connected devices into cars, the article reported.
This is nowhere near a law, yet, but it’s another example of how innovation often outpaces the ability of society and human behavior to manage it.

Maybe no housing rebound for a generation.....
The Housing market is likely to remain weak and may take a generation or more to rebound, Yale economics professor Robert Shiller told Reuters Insider on Tuesday.
Shiller, the co-creator of the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index, said a weak labor market, high gas prices and a general sense of unease among consumers was outweighing low mortgage rates and would likely keep a lid on prices for the foreseeable future.
"I worry that we might not see a really major turnaround in our lifetimes," Shiller said.

Obama has held more fundraisers than previous five Presidents combined as he visits key swing states on 'permanent campaign' ....
Barack Obama has already held more re-election fundraising events than every elected president since Richard Nixon combined, according to figures to be published in a new book.
Obama is also the only president in the past 35 years to visit every electoral battleground state in his first year of office.
The figures, contained a in a new book called The Rise of the President’s Permanent Campaign by Brendan J. Doherty, due to be published by University Press of Kansas in July, give statistical backing to the notion that Obama is more preoccupied with being re-elected than any other commander-in-chief of modern times.
