Kagangate: A Coverup Of Obamacare Conflict-Of-Interest? | FrontPage Magazine

Judicial Watch and the Media Research Center have obtained potentially explosive e-mails that could prove Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan provided misleading answers during her Senate confirmation hearings when she said she had no involvement as U.S. Solicitor General in any strategizing over how to defend the health care reform law known as Obamacare. Whether or not she had any such involvement is crucial in determining whether she must recuse herself from cases dealing with the constitutionality of Obamacare."

Keeping An Eye On "Terror Watchlist" Legislation

Last week, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee rejected an amendment by Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.), which proposed to allow the Attorney General to disapprove the NICS check of a person who has been placed on the FBI's secret 'terrorist watchlist.' Similar legislation has been introduced by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.)."

The Political Basis for the FairTax

As the current debate over fiscal reform suggests, very few proposals for fundamental changes in tax policy have the potential to command support across the ideological spectrum. The 'FairTax' is the great exception. Correctly understood, the Fair Tax Act (HR 25, S13 with 67 cosponsors), which would replace almost all federal taxes with a direct tax on consumption, should appeal to conservatives, progressives, and libertarians alike."

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."

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."

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."

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."

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.”"

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.

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."

President Obama doesn’t seem to have even peered out his Air Force One window to view the swelling Mississippi, a minimal show of interest for which George W. Bush was pilloried when he took a peek at the damage wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. At least Bush bothered to look."

Asked Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” if Christie would make a strong candidate, Boehner responded, “I do,” adding that the New Jersey governor “ has done a great job and he speaks English, which the American people like – English, like in plain talk.”"

Disgruntled Texas Republicans await Obama's visit

President Barack Obama will visit Texas on Tuesday, with stops in El Paso and a fundraiser in Austin, but he won't feel the love -- at least not from unhappy Republican lawmakers who see the administration's refusal to designate the wildfire-battered state a disaster area as the latest slap in the face to the very Republican Lone Star State."

Dear Mrs. Clinton: whether you believe it or not, China is a threat to America | ZDNet

I think you probably know how much I respect your accomplishments. You also know that I’m quite fond of Bill and while some of his ambitious deregulation policies helped lead to some of our current problems, much of his work was far-thinking and helpful for our great nation."

No Breakfast For Kids Wearing ‘Wrong’ Shoes At Grade School � CBS Chicago

You establish the precedent - then say No Breakfast because your shoes are wrong? And these were little kids.....Is there ANYONE in the School system ANYWHERE who has a grain of common sense?

It hasn’t been a problem all this time and all of a sudden they can’t have breakfast because of their shoes,” Kahlia Edwards, the boys’ mother, says.

Edwards says the boys have been wearing the shoes all year and administrators never complained. She’s confused.

The boy’s great aunt is livid.

“I don’t care if they had on orange shoes, they were in line to eat,” Robin Price says. “I’m not going to feed you because you have the wrong shoes? Shoes? No, no.”"

Michelle Obama | Burn Bush | Poetry | The Daily Caller

Nice..................Now "imagine" this was Laura Bush....the howling would start the second she had the THOUGHT!

First Lady Michelle Obama has scheduled a poetry evening for Wednesday, and she’s invited several poets, including a successful Chicago poet and rapper, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., AKA “Common.” However, Lynn is quite controversial, in part because his poetry includes threats to shoot police and at least one passage calling for the “burn[ing]” of then-President George W. Bush."

Top 10 Bush Terror Policies Continued by Obama - HUMAN EVENTS

After campaigning vigorously against President Bush’s terror policies, Barack Obama continued a good many of them after assuming the presidency. To those policies, along with the Navy SEALS who entered the Abbottabad compound, go the credit for the long-awaited, bullet-to-the-head takedown of Osama bin Laden."

Why I Will Not Support Jon Huntsman. Ever. | RedState

Ambassador Jon Huntsman is gearing up now to run for President of the United States.

If he is the Republican nominee, I will vote for him. But until that moment I will never, ever support him.

Top Iowa GOP Donors Venture to New Jersey to Court Gov. Christie | The Blaze

OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of Iowa’s top Republican campaign contributors, unhappy with their choices in the developing presidential field, are venturing to New Jersey in hopes they can persuade first-term Gov. Chris Christie to run. The entreaty is the latest sign of dissatisfaction within the GOP over the crop of candidates competing for the chance to run against President Barack Obama in 2012."

Noam Chomsky Calls Bin Laden ‘Unarmed Victim,‘ Says He Deserved ’Fair Trial’ | The Blaze

I believe Noam Chomsky is the only "un-armed" person in the room....totally devoid of intellect!

It’s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law. There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, as presumably could have been done by 80 commandos facing virtually no opposition—except, they claim, from his wife, who lunged towards them. In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial."

Fox News: Cheney Calls Probe of CIA Interrogators an ‘Outrage’ | The Blaze

Amen....................

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday it’s an “outrage” the Obama administration continues to investigate CIA agents who interrogated terror suspects, claiming they did nothing wrong and expressing concern about the precedent it sets."

The American Spectator : Obama on Drugs

What is it about bad ideas that make them so hard to kill? Brilliant inspirations can often be sent skimming across the River Styx by a sardonic smirk while obviously unworkable schemes often resemble the Hydra, whom Hercules had so much difficulty dispatching. The Hydra, you will recall, had the irritating habit of growing two new heads each time the mythical hero cut off one of the originals."

The American Spectator : Do I Hear Cheers for George Bush?

I in my innocence was, in the aftermath of SEAL Team Six's disruption of Osama bin Laden's bucolic life in posh Abbottabad, reading editorial comment by the great newspapers of this republic. As always the Wall Street Journal was superb, pausing to congratulate President Barack Obama for 'ordering a special forces mission rather than settling for another attack with drones or stand-off weapons from afar."

Fuzzy Math? U.S. Adds 244,000 Jobs in April, but Unemployment Rises - Friday, May 6, 2011

U.S. employment growth accelerated last month as the economy added 244,000 jobs, but the unemployment rate rose to 9 percent, the Labor Department reported on Friday.

The report easily bested analysts' expectations for a decidedly mediocre jobs report and marked the fastest rate of employment growth since last year when census hiring inflated numbers. Private-sector growth clocked in at 268,000, the highest level since 2006. The public sector continued to lose ground, shedding 24,000 jobs in April."

Debra Burlingame, the sister of Charles 'Chic' Burlingame (pilot of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon) met with President Obama today, along with other families who were victims of 9/11.

Did Stealth Modifications Cause SEAL Chopper to Crash? | The Blaze

Military experts and enthusiasts, alike, are buzzing over leaked images that allegedly expose a never-before-seen Black Hawk design. This excitement comes alongside worry, as the design and functionality exposed in the pictures could make its way into the hands of the Chinese or U.S. enemies abroad. And now, to add more intrigue into the mix, a retired special operations aviator claims that the design, itself, may be at the root cause of the helicopter’s crash during last week’s historic Navy SEAL operation."

RealClearPolitics - Video - Lib Talker: When Will Navy SEALs Take Out George W. Bush?

There it IS again!!!! He missed that pesky civil discourse memo too!!!! Seems to be a problem on the LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!

So when does Seal Unit 6, or whatever it's called, drop in on George Bush? Bush was responsible for a lot more death, innocent death, than bin Laden. Wasn't he, or am I wrong here?,' liberal radio talk show host Mike Malloy said on his show Monday evening."

Forty Minutes In Abbotabad - HUMAN EVENTS

This is what I have been able to put together from various sources about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden:

Operation Geronimo originated in the pre-dawn hours from Jalalabad, in eastern Afghanistan. Two teams of 12 Navy SEALs from the Joint Special Operations Command boarded a pair of Blackhawk helicopters and crossed into Pakistan. Another two Blackhawks were dispatched as backups, which turned out to be a very wise precaution."

Next Time, Use FedEx - HUMAN EVENTS

Without question...one of Ann's best!

The CIA stepped up the search for Osama bin Laden last week after becoming as sick of royal wedding coverage as the rest of us.

American intelligence operations located Osama by following his trusted couriers, whose names were given up by al-Qaida members during harsh interrogations at CIA black sites under President Bush."

Joe Biden opens his mouth about US Navy SEALs – Telegraph Blogs

DUH!

But here’s what the legendarily verbose and loose-lipped Vice President Joe Biden said at a dinner at Washington’s Ritz Carlton Hotel last night to mark the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council:

Let me briefly acknowledge tonight’s distinguished honorees. Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal. He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday."

U.S. lifts photo ban on military coffins - The New York Times

In a reversal of an 18-year-old military policy that critics said was hiding the ultimate cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the news media will now be allowed to photograph the flag-draped coffins of America's war dead as their bodies are returned to the United States, but only if the families of the dead agree."

Barack Obama to release up to 2,000 photographs of prisoner abuse - Telegraph

Funny...when the shoes on the other foot....

U of Missouri ‘Labor Studies’ Course Teaches How to Shut Down Non-Union Companies - Big Government

While University of Missouri – Kansas City Professor Judy Ancel has yet to explain her false and misleading defense of classroom statements suggesting violence is an acceptable tactic with an appropriate place in advancing the labor movement, new video reveals Ancel giving students insight into how to put non-union companies out of business. The tactic Ancel recommends to students is based upon deception and designed to burden a non-union company with a costly labor action under false pretenses."

Protecting Muslim Girls From Rape is Now a Crime in Europe | NewsReal Blog

But it's a religion of Peace.....

Hedegaard’s crime was to note “the great number of family rapes in areas dominated by Muslim culture in Denmark.”

The prosecutor’s crime is far greater. Now, courtesy of this prosecution, it is officially “racist” to tell the truth about sexual violence against women in Denmark, at least when that violence is perpetrated by Muslim fathers, uncles, or cousins."

Osama Bin Laden: The Islamic Perversion Of The Wizard Of Oz | NewsReal Blog

However, Bin Laden’s self-created image of invincibility, courage and self-sacrifice were all lies. He had various aliases, including “Lion Sheik.” But, at the end of the day, the “Cowardly Lion” character in the Wizard of Oz had far more courage."

Why Aren’t Democrats Angry that Obama Got the Wrong Guy? | FrontPage Magazine

When Scripps Howard asked, “How likely is it that people in the federal government either assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop the attacks because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East?,” more than fifty percent of Democrats answered “very likely” or “somewhat likely” in 2006."
