It creeps in quietly....
The private investigator obtained and reviewed volumes of evidence; the police report, crime scene investigators reports, photographs of the deceased showing that this woman had undergone a brutal and deadly beating, along with the medical examiner’s autopsy report. It is incomprehensible that this woman died as the Medical Examiner stated. Was this an “honor killing” that is being covered up by the Tampa Police Department and Hillsborough County Medical Examiner? It is chilling to think that this poor woman was brutally murdered in her Tampa home, and our local officials and the media are not acknowledging that such a horrific crime, sanctioned by Islamic Shari’ah, may have been committed, out of fear of Muslim reprisal."

London Looters Are A-Holes - Greg Gutfeld
I started watching Greg those sleepless business worry nights on Fox's Red Eye...I thought him odd and engaging....haven't changed my opinion...but I find myself looking for anything he does now....he makes you laugh....he makes you think! Oh, and to his By-Line.....AMEN!
Says one anarchist, while punks steal chocolate: “This is the uprising of the working class. We’re redistributing the wealth.”
Yep – free sweets – that’s a revolution.
I’m sure those folks in Syria are inspired.
I tell you – I’d hate to be a shopkeeper, knowing that the man looting the store is viewed more romantically than the man stocking the shelves."

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd on Wednesday continued to ramp up the newspaper's vitriolic attacks against Tea Party conservatives, bizarrely describing them as 'cannibals' 'zombies' and 'vampires.'"

There Are No Liberal Democrats, Only 'Influential Democrats'
Now we are being urged to "sue" for our hand outs...how pathetic have we become.......?
Ultraliberals are breaking ranks with the president on the right of Medicaid recipients to sue to “enforce their right to care – and to challenge Medicaid cuts being made by states around the country.” Times reporter Robert Pear wrote up that story – without the “ultraliberal” part. In fact, the lawsuit-backing liberals were described only as “influential Democrats.'"

The Soros Loophole - Do as I say...not as I do....
Spooky Dude at it again.................
Soros talks a good game when it comes to openness and transparency. With an obedient media in tow, he postures as a defender of business ethics and good government but the lofty ideals he espouses apply only to other people. In the end, when his personal interests are at stake, his professed ideals get discarded like yesterday’s racing form.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that this man who has described himself as “some kind of god” now doesn’t want to comply with new disclosure rules that accompany the Dodd-Frank law. To avoid complying, he is closing his $25 billion Quantum funds to investors outside his family."

Rick Santelli Rips CNBC Guest For Calling Tea Partiers 'Freaked Out White Men Who Are Unemployed'

Sony Hosted Obama Fundraiser, Releasing Bin Laden Movie Before Election
As Donald Rumsfeld would say...."My Goodness..."
There may be an overtly political ( No Really!?!?!?) reason that moviegoers will be seeing the story of the Osama bin Laden raid just before they vote for president. Sony Pictures, the company distributing next year's film, hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama on their studio's premises in California last April. So far, Sony is the only major studio to hold a political fundraiser this cycle. According to Deadline Hollywood, Sony will release the bin Laden movie, directed by Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow, on October 12, 2012--less than a month before the presidential election."

Three Liberal Dems Named to Deficit Reduction ‘Super Committee’ .....Good Lord...one is John Kerry!
HA! Now all of YOU get to experience what WE in Ma. have had to live with.....ACK!
Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), recently blamed the tea party for Standard and Poor's decision to downgrade America's credit rating.
“I believe this is, without question, the Tea Party downgrade,” Kerry said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “This is the Tea Party downgrade because a minority of people in the House of Representatives countered the will of even many Republicans in the United States Senate who were prepared to do a bigger deal, to do $4.7 trillion dollars, $4 trillion dollars, have a mix of reductions and reforms in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, but also recognize that we needed to do some revenue.” (Revenue, in Democrat parlance, means tax hikes.)"

Downgrade....watch for rising debt!
Whatever one thinks of the credit-rating agencies -- and we aren't admirers -- it serves no good purpose to shoot the fiscal messengers. Friday's downgrade by Standard & Poor's of U.S. long-term debt to AA from AAA will be the first of many such humiliations if Washington doesn't change its economic and fiscal policies."

Republicans hold off Dems in recalls, win enough seats to keep majority in Senate
The picture associated with this story is worth a million bucks.....Truth has no Agenda......
After tens of millions of dollars spent by outside interest groups, dozens of attack ads and exhaustive get-out-the-vote efforts, Democrats on Tuesday fell short of their goal of taking control of the state Senate and stopping the agenda of Gov. Scott Walker.
Republicans won four of six recall races, meaning the party still holds a narrow 17-16 majority in the Senate — at least until next week, when Sens. Robert Wirch, D-Pleasant Prairie, and Jim Holperin, D-Conover face their own recall elections. A third Democrat, Sen. Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay, easily survived a recall attempt last month."

Mrs. Obama reportedly jetted into the Eugene Airport, landing at about 11 am PDT. She and family members then headed out in a 11 vehicle motorcade for the ride to Corvallis."

A familiar air of indecision preceded President Obama’s pep talk to the nation.
The first draft of his schedule for Monday contained no plans to comment on the downgrading of the U.S. credit rating by Standard & Poor’s. Then the White House announced that he would speak at 1 p.m. A second update changed that to 1:30. At 1:52, Obama walked into the State Dining Room to read his statement. Judging from the market reaction, he should have stuck with his original instinct."

The initial segment of Obama's pet project, a high-speed rail line from Merced to Bakersfield, just had its first announced cost overrun. With costs jumping from $7.1 billion to a staggering $13.9 billion, the project now has doubled in price even before a single shovelful of earth is turned. Now that is the seat-of-the-pants, lets just make up a number, government contracting that the Democrats and the unions so dearly love."

As the plane threatened to stall they panicked by pointing the nose up, losing speed when they ought to have done the opposite. It was all over in minutes."
Philadelphia mayor talks tough to black teenagers after 'flash mobs'

Mayor Michael A. Nutter, telling marauding black youths “you have damaged your own race,” imposed a tougher curfew Monday in response to the latest “flash mob” — spontaneous groups of teens who attack people at random on the streets of the city’s tourist and fashionable shopping districts.
“Take those God-darn hoodies down, especially in the summer,” Mr. Nutter, the city’s second black mayor, said in an angry lecture aimed at black teens. “Pull your pants up and buy a belt ‘cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt.”"

You know what leadership means? It means that it doesn't really matter what S&P says. We all know deep inside that no country is the same as it was 5 years ago. And the market seems to be okay with it. And as for stocks going down we were already Ralph Cramden (of Honeymooners) on thin ice. Now an infant jumped on our shoulders. It’s just even more weight.
'In the end, in the end we need to address problems we know exist. A Treasury Secretary or a President should be out here not fighting S&P, not grabbing the other coach and slapping him around, taking the umpire behind the barn. He should be getting the team psyched to overcome."

There were mounting rumours that investor George Soros, 80, famously known as ‘the man who broke the Bank of England’, could be involved."

Much to the disappointment of the Liberals - Rick Perry's prayer event goes off without a hitch
Overall, however, the tone was very low-key and welcoming, thanks to the foresight of the organizers, who banned the sale of event tchochkes and freelance evangelizing (if this was Perry’s doing, it was a brilliant touch). I did spot one elderly gentleman with a fanny pack stuffed with tracts; he asked me if I was praying for the peace of Jerusalem but switched off when I responded that I wanted peace everywhere."

A military helicopter crashed in eastern Afghanistan, killing 31 U.S. special operation troops and seven Afghan commandos, the country's president said Saturday. An American official said it was apparently shot down, in the deadliest single incident for American forces in the decade-long war.
The Taliban claimed they downed the helicopter with rocket fire while it was taking part in a raid on a house where insurgents were gathered in the province of Wardak late Friday. It said wreckage of the craft was strewn at the scene."

S&P Strips U.S. of Top Credit Rating
S&P removed for the first time the triple-A rating the U.S. has held for 70 years, saying the budget deal recently brokered in Washington didn't do enough to address the gloomy outlook for America's finances. It downgraded long-term U.S. debt to AA+, a score that ranks below more than a dozen governments', including Liechtenstein's, and on par with Belgium's and New Zealand's. S&P also put the new grade on "negative outlook," meaning the U.S. has little chance of regaining the top rating in the near term.

Glenn Beck Interviews Mount Airy Mayor Deborah Cochran, Potential 1791 Town
The mayor of a small North Carolina town is hoping Glenn Beck will bring his new clothing line to her town, after Beck issued a call looking for an American community to be the home for his 1791 line.
However, some of the town‘s residents reportedly aren’t sold on the idea, due to Beck’s conservative views.
In a video that aired on GBTV to promote the project, Beck said: “I believe that somewhere out there there is a town searching for a second chance.” The purpose of 1791 — named after the year the Bill of Rights was adopted — is to raise money for his new charity, Mercury One, and to invest in America by offering people jobs."

Carney: "The White House Doesn't Create Jobs"
No.....you are doing everything together to kill job creation!
Q Sort of to follow on that, why should Americans believe that the White House can create jobs when the unemployment rate has been so stagnant and the record is sort of anemic?
MR. CARNEY: Well, the White House doesn’t create jobs. The government together -- White House, Congress -- creates policies that allow for greater job creation. And that can be through tax cuts, for example, for working Americans; everyone who works pays a payroll tax. And the tax cut that this President pushed for, for one year, for this calendar year, he’s pushing for to be extended next year."
Q Sort of to follow on that, why should Americans believe that the White House can create jobs when the unemployment rate has been so stagnant and the record is sort of anemic?
MR. CARNEY: Well, the White House doesn’t create jobs. The government together -- White House, Congress -- creates policies that allow for greater job creation. And that can be through tax cuts, for example, for working Americans; everyone who works pays a payroll tax. And the tax cut that this President pushed for, for one year, for this calendar year, he’s pushing for to be extended next year."

But it was a follow-up question on the fear of Sharia Law that set the governor off. “Sharia Law has nothing to do with this at all, it’s crazy!” he cried. “The guy is an American citizen!” He concluded that the “Sharia Law business is just crap… and I’m tried of dealing with the crazies,” adding with disgust and frustration that “it’s just unnecessary to be accusing this guy of things just because of his religious background.”"

Dow Bloodbath Could Herald “Great Depression”
Seven months after President Barack Obama gave a State of the Union speech in which he said the economy was in “recovery mode” and that “the stock market has come roaring back,” the New York Times today all but admits that America has entered a double dip recession following yesterday’s 512 point Dow plunge, while others go further, warning of a new Great Depression as markets continue to plummet today."
Ron Paul Says Debt Super Committee is Monstrous and Unconstitutional | Video
Amen....If this doesn't get your attention - NOTHING will....
Texas Congressman Ron Paul was interviewed by Lou Dobbs on Fox Business News yesterday, and pulled no punches in his assessment of the “monstrous” debt super committee. He expressed dismay that Congress wanted to abandon its responsibility to legislate to a small committee, asking:
“Where in the world did that come form and what is that going to lead to? That is monstrous. I keep looking and looking and I cant find any place in the constitution where we have the authority to create such a creature as the super congress.”"

We decided to see if corporate profits are indeed up in the past two years."

Unemployment aid applications tick down to 400K

Perfect for killing American Jobs! Obama Administration Added $9.5 Billion in Red Tape in July
THIS is what is killing American jobs.....
Many House and Senate conservatives are reviving their battle against federal regulations, claiming that the president hasn't stopped issuing job-killing rules during the debt ceiling fight.

Across the country, lawmakers are working to limit illegal immigration and reform policy so that more individuals can honorably and legally become American citizens.

Unhealthy Debt - The oncoming Obamacare disaster!
From beginning to end, the debt crisis talks have come down to a struggle between advocates of tax increases and champions of domestic discretionary spending cuts. This important dispute has been at the heart of our politics for decades, and without question our out-of-control discretionary budget has a lot to do with the size of today’s deficit and debt. But it has little to do with tomorrow’s deficits and debt—that is, with the unprecedented oncoming explosion of federal spending and borrowing that terrifies our creditors and gravely threatens our future prosperity. Democrats were able to keep that approaching disaster entirely off the table in the debt ceiling fight. In the next round, Republicans must make sure to put it front and center."

Are members of Congress worth their paychecks?
Quite simply.....NO!
To make matters worse, the same group of elected officials makes a healthy living at taxpayers' expense. Members of Congress receive a salary of $174,000 per year, as well as generous fringe benefits that increase their total compensation to $285,000 per year.
Members of Congress are among the highest-paid 5 percent of American workers. Unlike the private sector, where salaries are earned from willing customers in exchange for a product or service, congressional salaries and benefits are taken out of taxpayer's pockets without any requirement for what Americans receive in return."

The study also found that New Jersey 'will need to increase its revenue by the largest margin, requiring $2,475 more from each household per year.' That's if the new law hadn't passed."

The Budget Deal: American Defense Goes Over A Cliff
So why over the next half decade, must the nation’s security get pummeled while welfare recipients and government bureaucrats—at all levels—continue to get billions, even trillions?
For example, from FY09-16, the February budget of the administration calls for defense, veterans and Homeland Security—the so-called defense accounts to increase $50 billion collectively, compared to the FY09 baseline. That’s right–$50 billion, just a few billion more than some negotiators were pushing to increase just the Pell Grants."

And they are starting by targeting America’s farming communities with costly and oppressive regulations."
The Most Dangerous War in the Middle East has Already Begun
As international efforts to dispose of Moammar Gaddafi escalate, less and less attention is given to the real international threat in the region: Iran.
