Good Read. Nice explanation of speculation....
As gasoline prices have soared to $4 a gallon, putting a pinch on consumers’ wallets and President Obama’s approval ratings, the president has been casting about for a convenient scapegoat. He’s found one in oil market speculators, whom he charges with driving up the price of crude oil and gasoline.

Blackhawks Circle Low Through Chicago Skies as Secret Service Releases Security Details
I want ALL our Leaders protected. "Spare no expense" to quote Jurassic Park. But this type of "demonstration" seems to happen alot more often lately.....
Blackhawks and A/MH-6 Little Bird helicopters used by special forces circling low through downtown Chicago skies made for a scary scene along the Chicago River, as they rattled windows flying among the city's skyscrapers.
The training exercise comes as the city found out some of the details of what the Secret Service wants for security at next month's summit at McCormick Place.

Warren gets 'big hug' at Lowell Cambodian festival .....ACK!
Cambodian-Americans....Irish-Americans.....African-Americans....STOP!
We are ALL American's....period!
My ancestors came over here from Ireland. That's IT. I have NOTHING in common with them other than history.
Mine is American - theirs is Irish.
STOP the separating.
What about ALL students that are having tuition problems? How about all those folks on the College payrolls ( re: Elizabeth Warren ) for $300/M upwards...for.....for what? I hear crickets chirping! She doesn't stop taking her salary to help lower tuition....does she???? And they listen to her over this?!Among the middle- to lower-income folks who Warren claims she can better represent than Brown include college students. The lengthiest conversation she held with attendees of the Cambodian Town festival was with a group of Cambodian-American college students who told her of their struggles to pay tuition.
DC Hockey Fans Taunt Tea Party Goalie With Images of Obama .....
Rumors Of Free Stimulus Money Has People Lining Up Again......
Obama's "Stash".....
Responding to a local rumor, people are standing in line for hours, turning over valuable personal information and expecting to receive a government handout in New York City. If this sounds familiar, it is. Back in the fall of 2009, thousands of people stood in line in Michigan expecting to be given some Obama money. It never arrived.

Michigan government unleashes armed raids on small pig farmers, forces farmer to shoot all his own pigs
This is almost happening daily somewhere in our country.....this is getting NUTS!
NaturalNews can now confirm that the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has, in total violation of the Fourth Amendment, conducted two armed raids on pig farmers in that state, one in Kalkaska County at Fife Lake and another in Cheboygan County. Staging raids involving six vehicles and ten armed men, DNA conducted unconstitutional, illegal and arguably criminal armed raids on these two farms with the intent of shooting all the farmers' pigs under a bizarre new "Invasive Species Order" (ISO) that has suddenly declared traditional livestock to be an invasive species.

Eric Holder & Fast and Furious ....
Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash added his name to the chorus of legislators demanding Attorney General Eric Holder resign over Operation Fast and Furious.
A spokesman for Amash, a first term congressman on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, informed The Daily Caller of the congressman’s position over the weekend.

Schoolhouse rocked: Bobby Jindal brings real education reform to Louisiana......
This is so common sense and so OVERDUE! Now let it spread across the land! Bring back American excellence!
The laws passed by the Louisiana legislature last week read like a conservative education reformer’s wish list. Teacher tenure, which previously required three years of employment, will now be contingent on educators receiving a “highly effective” rating in five out of six consecutive years. Back-to-back “ineffective” ratings will be a firing offense. Seniority will no longer be a dominant factor in layoff decisions. Decisions about teacher employment and pay will largely devolve to principals and superintendents (they had previously been dominated by local school boards), allowing them to act with the dispatch becoming of an executive.

The tax-code mess ......
Civilization in Reverse.....
The United States should pay heed to the modern Greek Cassandra, since our own rendezvous with reality is rapidly approaching. The costs of servicing a growing national debt of more than $15 trillion are starting to squeeze out other budget expenditures. Americans are no longer affluent enough to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars to import oil, while we snub our noses at vast new oil and gas finds beneath our own soil and seas.
Stephanopoulos Agrees 92% Women Job Losses Statistic ‘Accurate’ After ABC’s World News Called It ‘Mostly False’ .....
Geithner was also confronted with Romney’s job loss number on Meet the Press and Face the Nation. NBC’s David Gregory did not challenge him when Geithner dismissed it as “ridiculous,” but CBS’s Bob Schieffer did at least follow up: “Basically, you’re saying that is right, that most of the jobs that have been lost recently have been lost by women?”
IRS Travel Ban: Revoking Citizenship By Stealth......
I cannot IMAGINE the SCREAMS if GWB slipped this in...and it comes from HARRY REID...not Bush...
Not the "Former" Administration....more stealth erosion of our rights by the OBAMA Administration.
Pass this on! They keep circumventing the law....making it their own.
If we don't stop this now, pretty soon we won't be able to..... Efforts to pass a bill that would allow the IRS to deny travel rights to U.S. citizens who the feds merely claim owe $50,000 or more in delinquent taxes represents a de facto move to revoke the citizenship of Americans without due process and in complete violation of the Constitution.

Quadruple amputee undergoes surgery after Afghanistan blast.....
Say a prayer and show your support....that they are NOT forgotten....

BrightSource Energy Cancels IPO AFter Getting Loan Guarantee ......
Again....and again....and again......
Last week, BrightSource Energy, a “green” energy company, canceled its initial public offering (IPO), admitting that there is no market for its stock. Of course, this sort of failure probably wasn’t what the Department of Energy (DOE) had in mind back when it decided to award BrightSource a $1.6 billion loan guarantee for its Ivanpah plant in California.

Glenn Beck to NRA Convention Meeting on Obama‘s ’Yes We Can’: ‘What a Bunch of Crap That Is’ ....
Amen...........
“Barack Obama‘s winning slogan was ’Yes we can.‘ That’s the dumbest damn slogan I’ve ever heard,” Beck said. “Don’t tell me what you can do. Will you do it? Will you do it? ‘Yes we can.’ What a bunch of crap that is.”
Moving to a chalk board on the stage, he wrote the words “Yes I will.”

Bill Maher on ‘Rosengate’: She Meant to Say Ann Romney Has ‘Never Gotten Her Ass Out of the House to Work’ .....
As the imaginary "War on Woman" that the Left made up...it too is a "Stupid, non-consequential meaningless controversy" ....can't cherry pick Bill......
First calling the flap the latest in “stupid, non-consequential meaningless controversies” to engulf the presidential campaign, Maher said Rosen’s word choice was “perhaps inartful.”

Occupy-Linked Radicals Smash Windows at NYC Business in Chilling Display of Violent ‘Black Bloc’ Tactics ......
Just keep ramping up the division.....and this is what happens...
Two people were arrested in New York City Saturday night after protesters, some with possible Occupy Wall Street connections, vandalized storefronts in what was described as “black bloc” tactics, the New York Times reported. Gothamist reports that a long-time Occupy organizer was one of those arrested for attacking a NYPD officer with a metal pipe:

China’s mysterious Internet outage; speculation over a ‘kill switch’ .....
Coming soon to a computer near you....if we let it.....
Others have suggested that the temporary outage might have been a test run of an emergency ‘kill switch’, in case extreme measures need to be taken in the ongoing crackdown of the Chinese Internet.
According to Tech in Asia, VPNs that had previously allowed Internet users to get around the Great Firewall were down, but that smaller VPN providers seemed to be unscathed. This could suggest a deliberate targeting of such services, but at the moment, we can only speculate.

Web freedom faces greatest threat ever, warns Google's Sergey Brin .....
I agree with him, however I find GOOGLE scary also.....
The principles of openness and universal access that underpinned the creation of the internet three decades ago are under greater threat than ever, according to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
In an interview with the Guardian, Brin warned there were "very powerful forces that have lined up against the open internet on all sides and around the world". "I am more worried than I have been in the past," he said. "It's scary."

Obama in Colombia: ‘Part of My Job Is to Scout Out Where I May Want to Bring Michelle Back Later for Vacation’ ......
Just two days after President Barack Obama gave a sharply edged response to news anchor Larry Conners of KMOV in St. Louis after Conners had asked the president about Americans who “get frustrated and even angered when they see the first family jetting around [to] different vacations and so forth,” Obama told a panel at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia that part of his job there was to scout out locations for a future vacation with First Lady Michelle Obama
