Don't fail me on this Texas....you remain about the ONLY sane state out there! I cheer and pray for this Father.
All the statements aside, the case is still being ruled a homicide. But local officials backed Harmon’s non-arrest of the father. Lavaca County Dist. Atty. Heather McMinn said, "Sheriff Harmon made the right decision in not arresting the father at the time of the incident."

Three People Attend Jesse Jackson's Gun Store Protest, Fifty Counter-Protesters Drown Them Out....
In the end the June 5 activities were futile, as Gov. Walker handily defeated the machine that tried to remove him office. And the June 16th results were even worse for Jackson, as only 3 people showed up for a planned protest of a Detroit area gun store.
That’s not a typo—only 3 people showed up. And the funniest part is that Jesse Jackson wasn’t one of them. He did all that talking, all that huffing and puffing, and then stayed home while less than a handful of his followers protested the “insurgents” who sell “the guns to kill the people.”

The maddening details of the DREAM Decree .....
And just wait til they start to "tweek" it....HA! He's losing the American student vote...so he imports votes at what cost?
The maddening details of Obama’s DREAM Decree are becoming clearer. As this CIS report notes, 1) The decree doesn’t just apply to illegal immigrants who were “brought to this country by their parents.” It also would give work permits to those who snuck across the border by themselves as teenagers. “Through no fault of their own” is a talking point for DREAM proselytizers, not an actual legal requirement.

Luis Gutierrez Says Obama Executed ‘Will’ of People with Immigration Policy ......
IF ONLY they'd assimilate into America...not be "Latino's" or Mexican-Americans.....just Americans.
Speak OUR language....live by OUR rules and constitution.....
I agree our immigration policies are nuts....however I just had a friend drop close to $20/M to do this legally for her husband...where is the "fairness" now?
And breaking and/or circumventing the law twice...first the ILLEGALS and then the President doesn't make a "right".... Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) spoke in candid terms to the program “Democracy Now” on Monday over the process to “push [Obama] hard” to get immigration reform. Gutierrez mentioned that the president did “go around the legislative process“ but that it was necessary because it was what a ”majority” of America wanted. Praising the ruling, the congressman said “this is the Barack Obama we voted for” right after explaining that the president agreed to ”do something from an executive level.”

How the Election Is Being Rigged Before You Vote ......
He is everywhere...I had NO idea the people behind Scytl - who now own the vote counting machines in Florida is Spooky Dude himself.....George Soros.
There is a widespread Internet rumor that a Spanish company called Scytl bought a company, SOE, that will be counting the presidential votes in Florida, and that Scytl is owned by billionaire puppet master George Soros. Liberal talking box Media Matters — which itself has been funded by Soros — and other propaganda outlets have been doing backflips to deny that Soros owns Scytl.

Video from 1994 has surfaced of David Axelrod, President Obama’s chief campaign strategist, calling former President George H.W. Bush “out of touch” for “tastelessly” playing golf while trying to convince voters that the economy is improving.

Google reports 'alarming' rise in censorship by governments ......
There has been an alarming rise in the number of times governments attempted to censor the internet in last six months, according to a report from Google.
Since the search engine last published its bi-annual transparency report, it said it had seen a troubling increase in requests to remove political content. Many of these requests came from western democracies not typically associated with censorship.

Are We in Revolutionary Times? ........
If one individual can decide to exempt nearly a million residents from the law — when he most certainly could not get the law amended or repealed through proper legislative or judicial action — then what can he not do? Obama is turning out to be the most subversive chief executive in terms of eroding U.S. law since Richard Nixon.

Michelle Malkin Blasts Juan Williams After He Pulls Rank on Her in a Tense Segment on Hannity ........
When they have no response...pull rank and dismiss....
“The American people are sick of the kind of snotty condescension from liberal elite journalists like Juan Williams who tell us that the rest of us are not doing our jobs, when the point is that when Eric Holder was shamefully approved and nominated and approved to be Attorney General, he had already had a long record of bastardizing national security and the rule of law,” Malkin said. “People like Joseph Connor, whose father was murdered by an FALN terrorist said at the time, and I quote, before this nomination, warning Republicans, that Eric Holder did not have the judgment, values or character to hold that office. We have been proven right, even though we are non-professional journalists.”

President Obama Meets with Servicemen and Barbers for Father’s Day Lunch, and Forgets to Pay the Bill.......
Amid the bustle of President Obama’s surprise stop for barbecue Wednesday the White House apparently overlooked one key detail: the bill.
Celebrating Father’s Day early, the president had lunch with two service members and two local barbers at Kenny’s BBQ on Capitol Hill.
As the group chatted about fatherhood, the president enjoyed a steaming plate of pork ribs with hot sauce, collard greens, red beans and rice and cornbread.
The bill for the president and his four guests was $55.58, but was left unpaid at the point of sale, according to pool reports.
Whoops!

Memphis Man Owes Child Support to 15 Women; Has 20 Kids......
No Entitlement Mentality here, ey?!
When a prosecutor told her that the father of her child had 20 other children she said her knees buckled, “At that time, three years ago, my child was the 21st child. Yeah, that would be overwhelming for anybody.”
She says after spending almost 8 years with Terry Turnage, she had no idea what he what he had been up to.
HBO apologizes for putting George W. Bush's head on stake in 'G.....
Right...just an emotional tool....
Nothing meant by it....
Nothing here to see folks...just move on...
If this were the GOP....Resignations would be demanded - protests - show cancelled....
Instead...crickets... HBO did not respond to FOXNews.com's request for comment, but as outrage mounted Wednesday, the network released a statement saying they were "deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste." HBO also said the scene would be removed from future DVD pressings

Steven Spielberg Behind Obama's Failed Bain Capital Attack.....
Obviously a Close Encounter Obama shouldn't have had........
If you were looking for advice on how tell a story that would impact millions upon millions of people, would you go to a director whose last four films were "War Horse," "The Adventures of Tintin," Indiana Jones 4," and "Munich?"
Nope.
But Team Obama did, and what they got in return was a continuation of the ongoing Spielberg flop-streak:

Sen. Paul proposes bill protecting Americans from drone surveillance .....
Agree with this 100%!!!
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Tuesday introduced the Preserving Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act, which would require the government to get a warrant before using aerial drones to surveil U.S. citizens.
More broadly, Paul's bill is aimed at preventing "unwarranted governmental intrusion" through the use of drones, according to the lawmaker.

Squealing vs. killing.....
If you are still listening to those in the political class who are falling over each other to condemn leaks from the government to the media, you’d think the leaks had revealed private information in which the public has no legitimate interest, or perhaps a planned secret government mission to rescue innocents. Neither is the case.
Obama gave former ACORN official $445 million taxpayer-funded gift? .....
Will it NEVER end? All our tax payer funds do now is buy votes....not for the "common" good....for infrastructure.....anything of value....just votes. We deserve what we elect..........
In a report released on Friday, a government watchdog group revealed that the Obama Administration gave a former director at the scandal-ridden left-wing front group, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- otherwise known as ACORN -- nearly half-billion dollars to assist “struggling” homeowners in President Barack Obama's home state of Illinois.

George W. Bush's Head In 'Game Of Thrones'?.....
Just IMAGINE if this was done by a conservative show????
UPDATE 8:30 PM: The controversy over the use of a prosthetic George W. Bush head as a prop in beheading scenes on the hit HBO fantasy series Game Of Thrones led to both HBO and the series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss issuing apologies tonight, following criticism by Republican leaders. It is unclear whether the image would be edited out of future GOT rebroadcasts on HBO and on-demand but that appears likely.

ABC and NBC Ignore Holder Hearings, CBS's Fast and Furious Coverage Slows to a Crawl .....
However, if this were the GOP AG.....they'd be protesting in the streets - hiring planes with message banners...flooding Sunday Shows.The drum beat for their head on the proverbial platter would never end....
The news that the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, for refusing to turn over subpoenaed documents in the Fast and Furious investigation, was met with silence from the Big Three (ABC, NBC, CBS) network news shows. There was no mention of the Holder hearings on Monday’s evening news shows or Tuesday’s morning shows.

Christie, not Patrick, named BIO Gov. of the year....
The gauntlet has been thrown down. The Biotechnology Industry Organization , which will descend on Boston’s convention center on Monday, with 4,000 companies and 15,000 attendees in tow, has proven that the fix ISN’T in. Unlike the Miss USA pageant, BIO didn’t give the crown to the guy with the "in," the host with the most, Gov. Deval Patrick. Instead, the biotechnology industry’s largest membership organization has given the award for governor of the year to Chris Christie.
Health panel talks about wider food ban ......
In the immortal words of Denis Leary in Demolition Man....he's the enemy because:
"According to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal?"
At the meeting, some of the members of board said they should be considering other limits on high-calorie foods.
One member, Bruce Vladeck, thinks limiting the sizes for movie theater popcorn should be considered.
"The popcorn isn't a whole lot better than the soda," Vladeck said.
Another board member thinks milk drinks should fall under the size limits.
"There are certainly milkshakes and milk-coffee beverages that have monstrous amounts of calories," said board member Dr. Joel Forman.
Even Wind Executive Doesn’t Want Wind Tax Credit....
The expiration of the production tax credit (PTC) for wind and other renewable energy sources is the subject of intense debate. Some see the credit as a tool for creating jobs and battling global warming. Others see it as an expensive, market-distorting device that rewards inefficiency and punishes competitiveness. Support for the latter position is growing—for good reasons, as the full economic impact of the PTC is beginning to be felt on a wider scale.
Even some who benefit from this taxpayer-funded handout to industry are now speaking out against it.

In addition to protesting the Bibles that have now been banned, the MRFF, seeing a ripe opportunity to further its anti-Bible activism, is now demanding that the remaining books be removed from base exchanges (stores). The atheists claim that the books, which have official branch insignias on them, pose a risk to U.S. national security.

Obama Blames Bush for Defecit While Using Cake Metaphor .....
Lord, will this excuse ever end?
Hot Air couldn’t believe it:
He. Cannot. Be. Serious. And yet, he is. If this doesn’t qualify as playing up the intellectually cheap, populist, class-warfare rhetoric, then I don’t know what does. He’s not just decrying ‘tax cuts for the wealthy’ (a.k.a., here, the Bush-era tax cuts) as a paltry route to prosperity, he’s throwing in a steak-and-a-martini metaphor to really classy it up! Sigh. At least he has a good sense of keeping with a theme, I suppose.

Republican Surrenderists for Obamacare
During the summer of 2009, conservative activists turned up the heat on Democratic politicians to protest the innovation-destroying, liberty-usurping Obamacare mandate. In the summer of 2012, it’s squishy Republican politicians who deserve the grassroots flames.
In case you hadn’t heard, even if the Supreme Court overturns the progressives’ federal health care juggernaut, prominent GOP leaders vow to preserve its most “popular” provisions. These big-government Republicans show appalling indifference to the dire market disruptions and culture of dependency that Obamacare schemes have wrought.

What 'Every Economist' Says
Labor Unions are not dead. They are reloading.....
Amazing that this money is tax exempt.....AMAZING! The folks who labored for the pay get hit six ways to Sunday....but this isn't taxed...yet.....small business has to record every expense down to a cup of coffee or else....NOW let's talk about "Fairness"....I hear Atlas Shrugging again!
Labor unions are categorized as tax-exempt 501(c)5 organizations. In 2010, these organizations collectively held $32,498,906,714 in assets. This number comes from the combined assets of all labor unions and farm bureaus. After all their expenses, lobbying efforts, and voter intimidation efforts, these organized labor gangsters still have more money than the entire GDP of many countries. None of it is taxed, and 92% of them are in violation of Dept. of Labor audits.

Who's Flying the New Syrian Choppers?
Weapons, in and of themselves, do not cause deaths or injury. The users of the weapons do, and in each report that has surfaced there is much hand wringing about this "escalation" and the "intractable" opposition of Russia to aiding in any way to rein in the Syrian government. A single question about these helicopters seems conspicuously absent, however. Not an answer, it must be admitted. But not even this question is being put forward.
Who exactly is flying these helicopters?

Irate GM Shareholders Say They Aren’t Seeing Any Return on Their Investment .....
And they are surprised why?.....
“I received common shares paying absolutely no dividends at $32/share and they have since deteriorated,” Richard Wills, a GM investor who’s frustrated with the lack of return on his investment, said at GM’s annual meeting.
“Now you have made billions of dollars. We are putting money into plants; we are funding the pension fund, this is all very good but I frankly doubt that I will ever buy another GM product,” he added.
This pretty much sums up the mood among many GM shareholders

Tax-exempt Media Matters ramps up support for Obama during election year......
Funny how most of this Administration's big backers find a way to be tax-exempt while the rest of us get murdered financially!
President Barack Obama has received a steady drumbeat of support from Media Matters for America as he shifts into campaigner-in-chief mode.
A content analysis by The Daily Caller shows that the tax-exempt liberal messaging organization has steadily committed more of its resources to defending Obama from critical media coverage during 2012.

Union aims to organize the unemployed .....
Oh swell....so...let me get this straight...we already have 52% of the country not paying any taxes....no skin in the real game...just the "Gimme Girl" game...
And now, the un-employed are organizing.....swell....the 10 or 15 of us left handling everything should make out just fine......ATLAS SHRUGGED! America’s jobless are unionizing, or at least furthering an agenda of one of the nation’s biggest unions.
An organization aimed at giving the unemployed more influence has announced it now has more than 100,000 jobless activists in their ranks.
The Union of Unemployed (UCubed) Activists is an Internet-centric “community service project” of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) — one of the country’s largest industrial trade unions.

Do the Rich Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes? .....
I must admit I’ve never understood the concept that some people would be excused from paying zero taxes and so would be completely disinvested in the system. I doubt I’m alone in favoring a far simpler tax code or my unease at the government’s willingness to push social or random political agendas through taxation. I doubt I am alone among residents of Montgomery County, Maryland, when I avoid shopping at local outlets and instead head to more consumer-friendly locations in Virginia. I can save 60 cents (!) a gallon simply by driving 15 minutes to Fairfax, Virginia. When it comes to tax burden, a new posting from my colleague Mark Perry offers some damning statistics:
Massachusetts judge upholds 'under God' in Pledge of Allegiance ....
This shook me to the core......a Massachusetts Judge...think about it - MASSACHUSETTS Judge...says "Under God" is OK......One for the Good Guys!
A Massachusetts judge has found that the rights of an atheist couple and their children aren't being violated when the words "under God" are recited in the Pledge of Allegiance in Acton schools.
The Boston Globe reports that Middlesex Superior Court Judge Jane Haggerty also ruled there was no violation of state law or the school's anti-discrimination policy.

Unions Out to Divide and Conquer Workplaces....
This is amazing! If this is allowed to advance forward......JEEZ....
Unions suffered a resounding defeat in Wisconsin last week. They're far from down and out, however. Unable to reverse their decline in membership under existing law, they are circumventing Congress and using the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to create an entirely new type of union. A new rule hatched by the Obama-appointed board, authorizes the creation of union cells—organizing a few employees within a company to gain a foothold—which will severely impact businesses.

Private Jobs Down 4.6 Million From January 2008; Federal Jobs Up 11.4%...
President Obama’s statement Friday that the private sector is “doing fine” drew so much ridicule that he was forced to backtrack hours later. But it’s clear that Obama and many other Democrats see job problems — and solutions — starting and stopping with government employment.
A quick look at payroll stats shows that’s not the case.
Private-sector jobs are still down by 4.6 million, or 4%, from January 2008, when overall employment peaked. Meanwhile government jobs are down just 407,000, or 1.8%. Federal employment actually is 225,000 jobs above its January 2008 level, an 11.4% increase. That’s right, up 11.4%.

Amid Battle Over Florida Voter Rolls Accuracy, State Sues DHS .....
WHY? Why would the government....guardians of the Constitution...not help in anyway they can to INSURE that American CITIZENS are voting on our countries future?
As I wrote last week, Florida officials are trying to verify that everyone registered to vote is a valid citizen by asking some of the voters whose records raise red flags to confirm their citizenship. Florida is currently using data from the state DMV to see whether non-citizens may be voting, but what they want to use are records from the Department of Homeland Security, which has more recent records on a person’s citizenship status. The Department has stalled, refusing to grant their request for access.

Glenn Beck Explains Why The Federal Reserve Is a ‘Scam’ .....
Beck believes that the Federal Reserve and the Treasury are doing something “you and I couldn’t get away with,” and that’s “writing bad checks.”
“We are paying them for the privilege of bailing them out,” Beck quipped. “How is that not criminal?”
There have been no less than seven government bailouts “funded by you since 2008” with a price-tag of $2 trillion. Beck asked what taxpayers have gotten in return.

Texas Dad Beats Man to Death After Catching Him Molesting His Four Year Old Daughter .....
It's about time.......Amen to this Father.....
Harmon said the father and daughter were with several other people at the family’s barn to groom and tend to the horses, according to The Chronicle. The alleged attacker was reportedly an acquaintance of the father.
The sound of the little girl’s screams were later heard coming from the barn and instinctually, the father rushed to his daughter’s aide. After reaching the barn, he found a man sexually assaulting his daughter – undoubtedly a dad’s worst nightmare.

Eagle Gun Range to Offer Children’s Birthday Parties in Texas .....
I think this is an awesome idea! Learning about guns from responsible sanctioned teachers is the way to start. It creates the next generation of 2nd Amendment guardians and responsible - I REPEAT - responsible gun owners!
Later this summer, the range, which is being dubbed “family-friendly,” will make two rooms available for hosting these special birthday experiences. David Prince, who is currently building the new, state-of-the-art gun range, told WFAA-TV that the children’s party offering isn’t just about fun; it’s also about education.

The NCAA Political Correctness Witch Hunt...
Oh my lord...my head just exploded...there isn't enough coffee for this....
This political correctness wackiness is not restricted only to the NCAA and colleges. The Oregon state Board of Education recently ruled that all public schools would have to cease using Native American imagery and nicknames.
Earlier this year, the students' choice of mascot for the Corner Canyon High School was axed by the local school board. Located in suburban Salt Lake City, Corner Canyon is a new school set to open in the fall 2012. Students slated to enroll in the school overwhelmingly voted for "Cougars." However, the board felt the name would be offensive to older women (Cougar is a slang term for older women who are attracted to younger men) and instead gave the school the nickname "Chargers."

Senator opens inquiry into EPA's armed visit to NC home ..........
This is the comment that prompted the man to inquire....
I'd say this is certainly reason enough. And if this isn't a perfect example of the School of Clower - Piven - Cass Sunstein approach to bit by bit...nudge by nudge taking our freedom away.....WAKE UP EVERYONE!In Massachusetts...armed EPA officials took down an....wait for it....Ice Cream Stand.......makes ya feel warm and fuzzy all over, doesn't it?
“It was kind of like how the Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a little Turkish town somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them. And then you know that town was really easy to manage for the next few years.”
Obama’s Problem With His Base.....
I'm NOT his Base....and I have a HUGE problem with this STUPID proposal!
The president was out there, once again, promoting the American Jobs Act. This bill is basically a huge payoff to Democratic constituent groups – notably organized labor, which would benefit enormously from federal grants to states to keep government workers on the payroll, as well as construction projects to be completed by union job crews.

Review & Outlook: ObamaCare's Secret History ....
Anyone paying attention knew this had to be happening. There is NO other reason ON EARTH for the Federal Government to take over Health Care other than control and money. Health is the last reason to do so....The Tea Party is STRONG...let's make it stronger!!!!
On Friday House Republicans released more documents that expose the collusion between the health-care industry and the White House that produced ObamaCare, and what a story of crony capitalism it is. If the trove of emails proves anything, it's that the Tea Party isn't angry enough.

Obama Will Be Presidential Failure Like Carter, Historian Says....
We can only hope.....
On the evening of Tuesday, June 30, 2009 — just five months into his administration — Barack Obama invited a small group of presidential historians to dine with him in the family quarters of the White House. His chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, personally delivered the invitations with a word of caution: The meeting was to remain private and off the record.
As a result, the media missed the chance to report on an important event, for the evening with the historians provided a remarkable sneak preview of why the Obama presidency would shortly go off the rails.

Remember the Democrat Justices of the Florida Supreme Court During Bush v. Gore? ....
Pretty much everyone except the most hard charging partisans have finally conceded that, despite the United States Supreme Court’s involvement in Bush v. Gore, George Bush did win Florida by just over 500 votes in 2000. In fact, in a nonpartisan media backed recount effort, George Bush would have won by every standard demanded, including Al Gore’s standard, except ironically George Bush’s preferred standard.
The Auto Bailout and the UAW.......and 26.5 billion in taxpayer funds....
Huh? Darn....Gee...and I thought Obama said it was ALL paid back...?......
Earlier today, The Heritage Foundation released a paper by Center for Data Analysis senior fellow James Sherk on the cost of the auto bailout that took place in 2009. According to Sherk, the taxpayers are expected to lose about $23 billion in the bailout, and all of these losses are accountable to one thing: the Obama administration's special treatment of the United Auto Workers (UAW) during the bankruptcy process General Motors and Chrysler experienced in 2009. Sherk's paper shows that this special treatment will cost the taxpayers a total of $26.5 billion.

Americans saw wealth plummet 40 percent from 2007 to 2010, Federal Reserve says .....
And you just figured this out....?!...just come down off your pedestals and walk Main Street America....we'll tell you what's happening....
The recent recession wiped out nearly two decades of Americans’ wealth, according to government data released Monday, with middle-class families bearing the brunt of the decline.
The Federal Reserve said the median net worth of families plunged by 39 percent in just three years, from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010. That puts Americans roughly on par with where they were in 1992.

North Dakota Voters Consider Ending Property Tax.....
GOOD for them! We have to live within our means...then the States, the Feds etc should have to. Thus, when expenses are rising - everyone has skin in the game...everyone has got to decide....there's a little thing called "accountability"....that's what democracy looks like!
Since Californians shrank their property taxes more than three decades ago by passing Proposition 13, people around the nation have echoed their dismay over such levies, putting forth plans to even them, simplify them, cap them, slash them. In an election here on Tuesday, residents of North Dakota will consider a measure that reaches far beyond any of that — one that abolishes the property tax entirely.

Jesse Jackson Stands At The Ready .....
SO nice to see someone actually say this!
If someone pulled a product off the rack at the local grocery store and saw an expiration date from nearly 50 years ago, it would be shocking and appalling to an extent that the shopper might immediately drop it, recoil in horror, and likely kick it aside. If that reaction is so universally understandable, maybe somebody can explain why people haven’t done the same to Jesse Jackson, for his shelf life surely expired a long time ago. He still somehow fancies himself relevant, a wise elder who speaks for a downtrodden aggregate, when in fact he is more like a man attending a black tie dinner wearing a leisure suit, or the guy who shows up for a date wearing a Nehru jacket with Edwin Starr blaring on an 8- Track. The only thing missing is his Afro because nothing else has changed about him since the 60’s.

Holder & Fast and Furious....
Wouldn't it be a great day to have our "Leaders" do something because it was right.....just the right thing to do...at any cost.
For Holder, there is no possible rationale to cooperate this close to an election — especially because it’s very likely that what he would turn over would include some evidence that his team really did mess up in Fast and Furious, then made matters worse by being far less than forthcoming once the congressional inquiry got started.

BYOD: Death of the nonworking vacation?....
Lord...where have YOU been? I haven't had an un-connected vacation in YEARS.....in fact...
I find I'm more stressed out because I can see what's going on and what needs to be done...but I'm not physically there to jump in.....
Took 4 days off ( well 1 - over a weekend ) and it sucked because of work issues....walked back into a disaster nobody wanted to tell us about because we were "On Vacation".....In this fast-paced world of non-stop connectivity, more of us can be spotted doing work tasks when we should be experiencing much-deserved down time. This is especially true on those rare (for some of us) vacations, when instead of sipping drinks with umbrellas on the beach, we are checking email and dealing with work issues.

Daniel Lozada Sings ‘God Bless the USA’ on Fox ....
This will make you smile!
By now you’ve probably heard of the New York public school that canned its students’ planned performance of the patriotic “God Bless the USA” over concerns of offending others. But what you haven’t seen is one of the kindergarteners from the class performing the song anyway.

Seriously? Denver Neighborhood Wants to Ban ‘Distracting’ & ‘Offensive’ Sidewalk Chalk ....
As ridiculous as this is...and it is.....unless we start to STAND TOGETHER against the insanity....it will consume us!
While 90 percent of Americans associate sidewalk chalk with harmless childhood fun, one Denver neighborhood homeowners association (HOA) wants to ban the “offensive” and “distracting” art, CBS Denver reports.
“It’s definitely better than video games,” said Sarah Cohen, mother of 3-year old Emerson Cohen. “It’s a simple pleasure for her.”
By drawing on the sidewalk with colored chalk, little 3-year old Emerson is practically engaging in a criminal act, according to the report.

Arms Trade Treaty and the Sovereignty of the United States...
The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) will be negotiated in July in New York. One reason to be concerned about the ATT is the risks it poses to U.S. sovereignty. Some of these risks are specific to the ATT, but the fundamental problem is that the ATT is an aspirational treaty and, as such, will impose constraints on the U.S. that will not in practice affect the dictatorial regimes at which the treaty is nominally aimed.
Michael Bloomberg’s Ban on Soda: Where Will the Regulation Stop? ....
'Cap and Trade' For CO2 Needs a Stake through the Heart....
The Business ramifications of this are huge.....it spreads outward like a mushroom cloud....and all it is is a revenue enhancer...more money for the government to waste!
Cap and trade (C&T) is in the news again: Global Carbon Market trading (practically all EU) climbed to $176 billion in 2011 according to the The World Bank, which has just released its annual State and Trends of The Carbon Market in 2012. That makes it about the same value as total global wheat production -- which supplies about 20% of the calories consumed by the 7 billion people on planet Earth.

Obama’s early Chicago rise brought African-Americans foreclosures, bankruptcies ....
Elizabeth Warren flipping houses....The One benefiting off the same backs.....Hypocrisy Howler Alert!
President Barack Obama wants his 2012 re-election campaign to focus on Gov. Mitt Romney’s private-sector record, but his own private-sector history shows that he promoted and profited from the nation’s disastrous real-estate bubble. One striking example comes from the president’s 1995 housing-discrimination class action lawsuit: It provided him with legal fees, greased his political donations and boosted his role in Chicago politics.

Under Obama, Fed’s Holdings of U.S. Debt Have Jumped 452%......
I'm sure it's all Bush's fault anyway....it's never his.........
On Jan. 28, 2009, a week after Obama’s nomination, the Fed owned $302 billion in U.S. Treasury securities. On April 25, 2012, the latest date reported, the Fed owned five and a half time that much in U.S. Treasury securities--$1.668 trillion.
That is an increase from January 2009 of $1.366 trillion—or 452 percent.

Well....You don't want to "offend cultures".....
First...you are paid as a public employee...by OUR taxpayer money....you know, American taxpayer money. If someone IN AMERICA - ATTENDING PUBLICLY financed school is "offended" by American patriotism...then they can just leave.....got it? LEAVE.
There are plenty of folks out there willing to come here and become part of the "melting pot".
PUBLIC FUNDS - Greta.....that's what pays your bills....from a country like no other. You have OFFENDED ME! "There ain't no doubt I love this land...GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!!!!"A controversial Coney Island principal has pulled the plug on patriotism.
Her refusal to let students sing “God Bless the USA” at their graduation has sparked fireworks at a school filled with proud immigrants.
Greta Hawkins, principal of PS 90, the Edna Cohen School, won’t allow kindergartners to belt out the beloved Lee Greenwood ballad, also known as “Proud to be an American,” at their moving-up ceremony.

DEAR AMERICA: You Should Be Mad As Hell About This [CHARTS]....
In November, Americans will have a chance to speak their minds.
And there's one thing everyone should agree on:
America just isn't working right now.
It's not just Americans who aren't working. It's America itself, a country whose economy once worked for almost everyone, not just the rich.
In the old America, if you worked hard, you had a good chance of moving up.
In the old America, the fruits of people's labors accrued to the whole country, not just the top.
In the old America, there was a strong middle class, and their immense collective purchasing power drove the economy for decades.
No longer.

What's Changed After Wisconsin...
What happened in Wisconsin signals a shift in political mood and assumption. Public employee unions were beaten back and defeated in a state with a long progressive tradition. The unions and their allies put everything they had into "one of their most aggressive grass-roots campaigns ever," as the Washington Post's Paul Whoriskey and Dan Balz reported in a day-after piece. Fifty thousand volunteers made phone calls and knocked on 1.4 million doors to get out the vote against Gov. Scott Walker. Mr. Walker's supporters, less deeply organized on the ground, had a considerable advantage in money.
Philly mayor backs soda ban in D.C. after opening Shake Shack.....
My head just exploded...they think we are MORONS!
Like Bloomberg, who hosts the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest, we have learned that his fellow soda foe, Nutter, doesn’t walk the walk on fighting obesity either. Because according to the national restaurant chain Shake Shack, famous for its frozen custard and burgers, he cut the ribbon to the latest store opening on Rittenhouse Square Wednesday.

Early Results of Glenn Beck and GBTV’s Massive Voter Registration Drive......
I don't care how you register to vote - however Glen Beck has offered info help to all......
FIND OUT if you are registered.....don't just let it go!
Don't be lazy...
Think of that soldier giving his or her LIFE AWAY so we can have this right so many of us casually piss away, for lack of a better phrase.
That's what TOO MANY of us do! There are over 33 million people NOT registered to vote?
How many of you are gun owners....? Next to Macdonald advocates...the most hunted by this Administration's proposed policies...LITERALLY!
So many of you don't bother which is BEYOND the pale!
DO IT! This may be the most important election of our collective lifetimes.
Don't get me wrong....I'm not a big fan of Mitt's...I'm from Massachusetts...however...
There is a part of me that wonders if we gave him an administration that had support - he had NONE in MA. All democratically held - what could he do...?
So...I'll adapt the WWMD psychology and pray he wins in November.
However the "other" side is better at boots on the ground than we are...but we are leaning - and we need YOU!
One vote does count....one vote can make an election...
Just like one touchdown wins the game...
One kick wins the Superbowl...
One basket gets you into Game 6!
One hit drives home the winning run...
One bad catch loses you the series....
One goal - one save, wins the StanleyCup...
An Army of One can win this.
So...whaddaya say, let's take our country back, ey Folks? Go REGISTER to vote!
The recall heard round the world....
I watched the Wisconsin returns on MSNBC Tuesday night, and it came right down to the wire between “the Democrats were outspent 7-to-1″ and “Republicans are stripping union rights!” As we go to press it’s still too close to call.President Obama wanted to go to Wisconsin, but he just didn’t have time. He’s been doing so many campaign fundraisers lately he barely has time to play golf.
The left’s “outspent” argument is ridiculous. Unions take money by force from members, hire hundreds of political operatives and give them salaries to work on campaigns, then call them “volunteers” so their work isn’t reported as a campaign contribution.

What Is Obama Hiding?
There has been plenty of conjecture regarding Obama's biography. Clearly, he has a penchant for fiction and does not care to fact-check his own life. Nor does he care for others to fact-check or scrutinize what he has been doing as president. Has this been why he has been decimating the taxpayers' best friends in Washington: the inspectors general?

D-Day medic still haunted by 'the boy on the beach' ....
And the current Administration ignores.....
The passage of 68 years has not dimmed Army medic Bernard Friedenberg's memory of "the boy on the beach."
Friedenberg was just 22 when he took part in the storied invasion of Normandy, hitting Omaha Beach with the 16th Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division, or “The Big Red One” on June 6, 1944. Moments after reaching the heavily-fortified French coastline, and as Nazi artillery rained down from the cliffs above, Friedenberg found a young, mortally-wounded soldier gasping his last breaths.

Wisconsin recall: the worst night on cable news ....Uh...no it wasn't.....
What this article fails to point out is that - even IF CNN's ratings are the best "when" there is a political event - they are still gawd-awful in the face of FOX.
Sean Hannity has NEVER hidden his agenda....I think we're bright enough out here in the wilds of America to figure all this out for ourselves.... Eight minutes later, CNN's Wolf Blitzer interrupted the network's rerun of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee to break the news.
CNN has no obligation to cover the Wisconsin recall, and one could argue that CNN doesn't need to break that political news, or spend the 10 o'clock hour speculating on the potential political ramifications of the various outcomes. But I highly doubt that CNN would make that argument. ( And by the way....what the heck would they have to talk about if not this? Obama's "Accomplishments"...I didn't realize they were a Comedy Channel?!)
Remember: This is the network that won the primaries, and gets its best primetime ratings when there's a political race.
Brown votes against "Paycheck Fairness Act" that Boston Globe opposed in 2010
I don't like either Bill...but god bless Scott.....
Brown said today, "As a father and husband of women in the workforce, I believe strongly in fair pay, and employers who discriminate against women should be prosecuted aggressively. The bill before the Senate today was flawed and overreaching. It's the right cause but the wrong bill. On the heels of last week's dismal jobs report, the last thing we should be doing is putting more job-killing burdens on small businesses and employers. Instead, we should be focused on creating jobs for women who, like all Americans, have been negatively affected by the employment crisis."

Schultz On Walker Win: He Could "Be Indicted In The Next Few Days"...
Enough.....
"And this sets the template for the Republicans and tells the right-wing in this country that if they can outfund their opponent they have a real good shot as winning," Schultz, an enthurasatic supporter of President Barack Obama in 2008 said toward the end of the segment.
Ed Schultz concluded the segment by making a wild assertion. "Scott Walker could very well be indicted in the coming days," the MSNBC host said.

However, there is video of Biden’s reaction.
Raising and waving his hand, he says: “Regardless of your politics, this is not a political comment, it’s about transition in America.”

Liberal Talk Show Host Bill Press Wants to Junk the National Anthem, Calls It An ‘Abomination’.......
Liberal talk show host Bill Press, perhaps best known for comparing Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally to “allowing Al Qaeda to hold a rally on September 11 at Ground Zero” while simultaneously bemoaning the “toxic” nature of talk radio and its destructive effects on civility, has let loose another doozy.
This time Press’s target is nothing less than the United States national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” which Press dislikes for several reasons, according to this clip from his show:

Governor Walker's Victory Spells Doom For Public Sector Unions....
It's OUR time people....ENERGIZE!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's take America BACK!
Despite a last-minute smear campaign accusing Scott Walker of fathering an illegitimate love child, the governor’s recall election victory sends a clear message that should resonate around the nation: The fiscal cancer devouring state budgets has a cure, and he has found it.

The actions of the police have been met with some criticism, but Fania said this was a unique situation that required an unusual response.
“It’s hard to say what normal is in a situation like this when you haven’t dealt with a situation like this,” Fania said. “The result of the whole ordeal is that it paid off. We have arrested and charged a suspect.”
EYEWITNESS ALLEGES DEMOCRAT UNION VOTE FRAUD IN WISCONSIN .......
On WMAL’s The Chris Plante Show today a Michigan resident by the name of "Mike" called in to discuss how he had infiltrated a Michigan Union's organized bus convoy, en-route to vote in the Wisconsin recall election for Democrats.
The caller claimed that Michigan’s “Democrat Unions” had organized a convoy of 4 buses, filled with Michigan Democrats, with the intention of voting for Tom Barrett in the Wisconsin recall election.
Caller “Mike” describes “Greyhound size buses, filled to capacity” with a good amount of “freebies” available, “They treated me to lunch!”

EPA Region 1 Adminstrator Curt Spalding Says ‘Law and Policy’ Require the EPA to Stomp Coal Plants Out, Which is ‘Painful Every Step of the Way’ ...
THIS is why the economy is at a stand still.
Why spend any money - any investment - hire any individual when the Administration....just like that - can "do away" with a sector of business....of the economy.
Do away with individual companies....individual jobs......vendor commitments....need I go on..?....with a snap of the proverbial finger.
Just like that. "It was painful"......
I'm quite sure not as painful as it was to those you just DESTROYED......
But know right now, we are, we are struggling. We are struggling because we are trying to do our jobs. Lisa Jackson has put forth a very powerful message to the country. Just two days ago, the decision on greenhouse gas performance standard and saying basically gas plants are the performance standard which means if you want to build a coal plant you got a big problem. That was a huge decision. You can’t imagine how tough that was. Because you got to remember if you go to West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and all those places, you have coal communities who depend on coal. And to say that we just think those communities should just go away, we can’t do that. But she had to do what the law and policy suggested. And it’s painful. It’s painful every step of the way.

The experimental Boeing X37-B has been circling Earth at 17,000 miles per hour and was due to land in California in December. It is now expected to land in mid to late June.
At launch, the space plane was accompanied by staff in biohazard suits, leading to speculation that there were radioactive components on board.

We Only Think We Know the Truth About Salt ....
Somebody send this to Bloomberg!!!! ....oh yeah...and to Michelle "Marie Antoinette" Obama!
And yet, this eat-less-salt argument has been surprisingly controversial — and difficult to defend. Not because the food industry opposes it, but because the actual evidence to support it has always been so weak.
When I spent the better part of a year researching the state of the salt science back in 1998 — already a quarter century into the eat-less-salt recommendations — journal editors and public health administrators were still remarkably candid in their assessment of how flimsy the evidence was implicating salt as the cause of hypertension.

The New York Police Department, the mayor and the city’s top prosecutors on Monday endorsed a proposal to decriminalize the open possession of small amounts of marijuana, giving an unexpected lift to an effort by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to cut down on the number of people arrested as a result of police stops.

EPA Using Drones to Spy on Cattle Ranchers in Nebraska and Iowa .......
Tyranny in the United States Senate.....
Abstract: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has regularly used a procedural tactic called “filling the amendment tree” to restrict Senators’ right to debate and offer amendments. While previous Majority Leaders have occasionally used this tactic, Senator Reid has used this tactic often—more than all of his predecessors combined. This tactic combined with another parliamentary maneuver and demonization of the filibuster threatens to squelch dissent in the Senate and further constrict the national debate on important political issues. The Senate could better serve the American people by ending the use of this tactic.
Obamacare cronyism: The First Lady’s patient-dumping, privacy-meddling scheme
The stench of Chicago cronyism over the White House just got fouler. Inhale this:
A shadowy $10 billion Obamacare agency with zero oversight just awarded first lady Michelle Obama’s pet patient-dumping scheme at the University of Chicago Medical Center a $5.9 million taxpayer-funded grant. It will enable Mrs. Obama’s cronies to build a government-sponsored electronic medical record-sharing system.

Jesse Jackson: We Are Going to March on Gun Shops .....jeez.....
Holder's Racial Incitement ....
I so hate this method....turning people against people...citizen against citizen....
That's right. The two most powerful men in America are black, two of the last three Secretaries of State were black, numerous corporate CEOs and other executives are black, and minorities of many races now win state-wide elections in states that belonged to the Confederacy, but the AG implies that Jim Crow is on the cusp of a comeback.

Dreaming of a Superhero....
A Times article by Jo Becker and Scott Shane revealed that the liberal law professor who campaigned against torture and the Iraq war now personally makes the final decisions on the “kill list,” targets for drone strikes. “A unilateral campaign of death is untenable,” the editorial asserted.
On Thursday, Bill Clinton once more telegraphed that he considers Obama a lightweight who should not have bested his wife. Bluntly contradicting the Obama campaign theme that Romney is a heartless corporate raider, Clinton told CNN that the Republican’s record at Bain was “sterling.”
