Is President Obama’s Cabinet a “Team of Rivals”—or Just a Bunch of Figureheads? ....
To say that things haven’t worked out that way for Obama is the mildest understatement. “No! God, no!” one former senior Obama adviser told me when I asked if the president had lived up to this goal.
“Kill Scott Walker”: Angry libs flood Twitter with death threats after Wisconsin recall defeat....
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.

Joe Biden Booed at Florida’s Cypress Bay Highschool When Discussing Obama; Tells Students to Imagine the Future....
Discussing the inauguration, Biden reportedly said: “I was being picked up by a friend, an African American friend, Barack Obama,“ and the crowd reacted with a mixture of ”boos” and applause.
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.

Police Stop, Handcuff Every Adult at Intersection in Search for Bank Robber ....
I am a huge fan of Police...I want them safe...but this is just wrong....there had to be a better way......
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.
Secret mission accomplished: America's secret space plane to land after a YEAR in orbit - and no one knows what it did up there.....
The U.S Air Force’s highly secret unmanned space plane will land in June - ending a year-long mission in orbit.
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.

Bloomberg Backs Plan to Limit Arrests for Marijuana.......
OK...let me get this straight....you can't have salt on your burgers.....you can't have a Big Gulp to wash it down...however...you can get high......so, when the munchies hit, what are ya gonna do? Call Ghostbusters?
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.

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.”

Records: Prof profited by buying, selling homes....
Today's Hypocrisy Howler...so many are liars......
Elizabeth Warren, who has railed against predatory banks and heartless foreclosures, took part in about a dozen Oklahoma real estate deals that netted her and her family hefty profits through maneuvers such as “flipping” properties, records show.
A Herald review has found that the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate rapidly bought and sold homes herself, loaned money at high interest rates to relatives and purchased foreclosed properties at bargain prices.

Video of Cooper’s Priceless Reaction When He Hears Mom Say His Name for the First Time.....
Just a few days ago, we brought you the touching video of a young girl who was fitted with an Esteem implant that allowed her to hear the little things she couldn’t before. Now, another video has emerged showing what is reportedly a 2-year-old boy being fitted with a similar implant who hears his mother’s voice for the first time.

Feds to Florida: halt non-citizen voter purge....
OK...they are trying to do what's RIGHT.
Prevent non-citizen's.....yes, I'll say it...ILLEGAL ALIENS from voting in OUR elections...and they get stopped by the DOJ....OUR DOJ...
Those harbingers of truth and justice...
Just ask those involved in Fast & Furious....THIS is ridiculous.
If ANYONE is being discriminated against on a regular basis it's the law abiding citizens of the US.
They must have adopted Martha Coakley's ( Ma. DA ) mantra..."it's not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts"....
Florida’s effort appears to violate both the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which protects minorities, and the 1993 National Voter Registration Act – which governs voter purges – T. Christian Herren Jr., the Justice Department’s lead civil rights lawyer, wrote in a detailed two-page letter sent late Thursday night.

The internal memos and e-mails for the first time unveil the industry's plan to finance positive TV ads and supportive groups, along with providing $80 billion in discounts and taxes that were included in the law. The administration has previously denied the existence of a deal involving political support.

Worried About The Soda Ban? Fear Not, Bloomberg to Support ‘National Donut Day’ ....
At Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s press conference touting his efforts to stop the sale of large soft drinks in restaurants, one reporter in attendance brought up the interesting fact that his administration also supporting “National Donut Day” tomorrow and inquired as to whether that muddled the mayor’s message on the issue.
George W. Bush’s Advice To Obama: ‘Ask, What Would George Do?’ ....
“When the British burned the White House … in 1814, Dolley Madison famously saved this portrait of the first George W. Now, Michelle, if anything happens there’s your man,” Mr. Bush said. “I am also pleased, Mr. President, that when you are wandering these halls as you wrestle with tough decisions, you will now be able to gaze at this portrait and ask, what would George do?”
Axelrod's Anti-Romney Message Gets Drowned Out .......
Instead, he was booed, heckled and chanted down by supporters of Mr. Romney who refused to let up even for a moment as Mr. Axelrod and Democratic state lawmakers sought to make their case. The group included several staff members in his Boston headquarters, including an aide’s dog wearing a Romney T-shirt.
Blamer in Chief? | The Weekly Standard
This man is utterly classless!
"The months before I took the oath of office were a chaotic time," Obama said, after explaining that the president's job is isolating, and that he and Bush have a connection since so few have held the job. "We knew our economy was in trouble, our fellow Americans were in pain, but we wouldn't know until later just how breathtaking the financial crisis had been."

The Best College in America .....well said...........
If you're a liberal, you would probably insist, depending on which one you attended, that Harvard, Yale, Stanford or UC Berkeley, was the finest college or university in the country. If you went to Harvard, you would probably say, in the world.
If you were a conservative, you would probably vote for Hillsdale.
But I contend that far and away, the best one doesn't have a campus, an endowment fund or even a football team. In fact, it's the one that people tend to ignore except once every four years. I'm referring to the Electoral College.
As a rule, the only time people even talk about it, they're complaining that it should be abolished. But, as is nearly always the case, they happen to be wrong and the Founding Fathers were right.

Narcissism and Tyranny -- The Consequence of Executive Egocentrism......
Video: Allen West Protestor Drops F-Bomb to WWII Vet
Congressman West is seen in the beginning of the clip, the meeting apparently over. Off camera some noisy lefties are making themselves known, and West smilingly calls them his "groupies." One liberal woman is upset, and proceeds to take on several World War II vets, and an older woman who may be the wife of one. The older woman is carrying a cane. An exhange is heard...it appears at one point that the liberal woman refers to "Nazis," although whether she is accusing one of the veterans is unclear -- although he certainly looks startled at what she says. Finally -- at 1:16 into the video -- the much younger woman jabs one of the vets and says.."Hey...F...you." There's more.
JFK and the Death of Liberalism
In short, one wonders. Did the bullets that killed JFK hit another target -- liberalism itself? Unlike JFK, not killing liberalism instantly but inflicting something else infinitely more damaging than sudden death? Or, as Tyrrell puts it, inflicting "a slow, but steady decline of which the Liberals have been steadfastly oblivious."
A Serial Bomber in Phoenix .....
A small improvised explosive device (IED) detonated at a Salvation Army distribution center in Phoenix, Ariz., on the afternoon of May 24. Two Salvation Army employees discovered the explosive device, which was concealed inside a yellow, hand-held 6-volt flashlight, as they were sorting through a box of donated items. The IED exploded when one of the employees picked up the flashlight and attempted to turn it on. The blast was not very powerful, and the two employees suffered only minor injuries.
Odd politics, presidential tradition: Bush is back .....
Haven't checked my Twitter feed yet....need more coffee for that - however I expect the Hate Mongers are already ranting about W being at the WH for a day.....
It was just one week ago that Obama, revving up campaign donors, turned Bush into a punch line. Obama depicted Republican rival Mitt Romney as a peddler of bad economic ideas, helping the rich at the expense of the middle class, and then added to laughs: "That was tried, remember? The last guy did all this."
Now the last guy is coming back.

Apple wants U.S. manufacturing, but it ain't that easy ...
My point is not to illustrate the benefits and drawbacks of unions, or even what’s fair; rather, I’m trying to illustrate a landscape in which American companies can go overseas for greater flexibility, lower price and sheer speed. So long as there are nations in this world willing to do work others aren’t, outsourcing will exist. In the capitalist system, businesses can’t win in the free market unless they exploit every advantage.
Barack Obama has insulted 38 million Poles with his crass and ignorant 'Polish death camp' remark ........
Poles and Polish-Americans expressed outrage today at President Obama’s reference earlier to “a Polish death camp” — as opposed to a Nazi death camp in German-occupied Poland.
“The White House will apologize for this outrageous error,” Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted. Sikorski said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk “will make a statement in the morning. It’s a pity that this important ceremony was upstaged by ignorance and incompetence.”

Texas Woman Accuses Zetas Drug Cartel of Kidnapping Her Husband Armando Morfin From Their Texas Home....
Border problem? What border problem???....
Still, why police decided not to reveal that the kidnappers may have been members of the Zetas cartel is still a mystery.
Meanwhile, the drug cartel continues to haunt the Morfin family.
Fearing that the Zetas would come back for her and her family, Marina Morfin and her children left Texas. Now almost two months later the wife and mother is still pleading with her husband’s captors to release him so he can be reunited with his family.

Obama ducks calls to release his collegiate transcripts....
When President Obama gave the commencement address last week at the Air Force Academy, he congratulated the cadets for excelling at one of the most demanding schools in the country.
But decades after Mr. Obama completed his own college course work, his academic performance is still a mystery. Before and after his election as president, Mr. Obama has refused to release his college transcripts from his days as an undergraduate and a law school student.

SWAT rampage destroys Iraq vet's home over guns....
While Army Sgt. Matthew Corrigan was sound asleep inside his Northwest D.C. home, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) was preparing to launch a full-scale invasion of his home. SWAT and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams spent four hours readying the assault on the English basement apartment in the middle of the snowstorm of the century.
Iraq vet brutalized over guns in D.C. .....
Army 1st Sergeant Matthew Corrigan was woken in the middle of the night, forced out of his home, arrested, had his home ransacked, had his guns seized and was thrown in jail -- where he was lost in the prison system for two weeks -- all because the District refuses to recognize the meaning of the Second Amendment. This week, the city dropped all charges against Sgt. Corrigan, but the damage done to this reservist cannot be so easily erased.

Dewey files for Chapter 11 in record law firm collapse....
Dewey said in a filing it had decided to wind down its business following unsuccessful negotiations with other law firms to strike a deal. It said it would ask about 90 employees to remain on staff to assist in the liquidation, which it expects to be completed in the next few months.
Negative economic conditions, along with the firm's partnership compensation arrangements, created a situation where its cash flow was insufficient to cover capital expenses and full compensation expectations, Dewey said.

Farrakhan Says America Used ‘Trickery’ to Take Mexican Land ....
Alot of which we actually paid for even though we won it fair and square....ever look at boundaries in Europe? Change damn near daily...just ask the Soviet Union....
The poorly-timed rant took place in San Diego in front of a partially Hispanic audience. The oft controversial minister began by disparaging “White Mexicans” of Spanish decent before announcing that “Africans were in that part of the World [Mexico] maybe before [Mexicans] got there.” The minister lamented that illegal Mexicans are called “aliens” and declared that Americans “ought to be praising the Mexicans because we living on land that was once theirs.”

Escape From New York? High-Taxing Empire State Loses 3.4 Million Residents in 10 Years....
Once again, it shows how the "static" assumptions by the Left are imaginary!
Where are they escaping to? The Tax Foundation found that more than 600,000 New York residents moved to Florida over the decade – opting perhaps for the Sunshine State’s more lenient tax system – taking nearly $20 billion in adjusted growth income with them.

Pictures of America's Medicare Mess.....
President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare into law in 1965, creating a program that today provides health insurance to some 48 million Americans. Now, though, that program is in desperate need of reform as the United States grapples with retiring baby boomers entering the system, increasing health care costs and a status quo that simply can't be sustained.

Chris Hayes: I'm 'Uncomfortable' Calling Fallen Military 'Heroes' ....
Well....Thankfully....most American's are not afraid to call our military HEROES!
Effete: affected, overrefined, and ineffectual; see "Chris Hayes." OK, I appended the name of the MSNBC host to the dictionary definition. But if ever you wanted to see the human embodiment of the adjective in action, have a look at the video from his MSNBC show this morning of the too-refined-by-half Hayes explaining why he is "uncomfortable" in calling America's fallen military members "heroes."
Hayes is worried that doing so is "rhetorically proximate" to justifications for more war. Oh, the rhetorical proximity! View the video after the jump.

US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has said she was unaware that Harvard Law School had been promoting her purported Native American heritage until she read about it in a newspaper several weeks ago.
But for at least six straight years during Warren’s tenure, Harvard University reported in federally mandated diversity statistics that it had a Native American woman in its senior ranks at the law school. According to both Harvard officials and federal guidelines, those statistics are almost always based on the way employees describe themselves.

Tides Foundation Funded Domestic Terrorist Brett Kimberlin Is Terrorizing Bloggers. Where Is the Outcry?....
Be prepared to enter an alternate universe bizarre beyond any stretch of what you thought even possible. And then keep reading, because this may be one of the most important exposes published on The Blaze to date. It will explain in frightening detail what it means to speak the truth at the expense of losing all you hold dear. And will reveal how easy it has been for one convicted domestic terrorist — backed by George Soros and Barbara Streisand alike — to use the U.S. legal system, as well as less desirable channels, to silence those who have dared tell the story of one Brett Kimberlin, a.k.a. the “Speedway Bomber.”
President Obama Won’t Be Returning His Donations From Bain Capital......
Do as I say...not as I do.....
Though the Obama campaign has repeatedly attacked Mitt Romney for his career at Bain Capital, President Obama still accepted $7,500 in campaign contributions from three Bain executives. His campaign press secretary, Ben LaBolt told The Politicker the president has no intention of giving the money back.

Warren Fights Media Questions about Heritage.....
They are ALL such liars...they ALL assume we are TOO stupid to know......that we are sheep.
Lets wake the sleeping giant and show them just who we really are..... Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren refused to answer local reporters' questions about her claims to Native American heritage and minority status in a tense exchange in Brookline.
The video, viewable here, shows local TV reporter Sharmann Sachetti asking the Democratic candidate repeatedly about her claims, with Warren responding that she has already answered such questions and saying she wants to talk about "what matters to the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."
Senate Dems Ready for 'Paycheck Fairness Act' Fight ......
GO AWAY!!!!! Get OUT of our homes! Our wallets, our kitchens, our refrigerators, our soda machines, our restaurants, our cars, our cell phones, our schools, our bedrooms, our health care...GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!
The first stop will be to bring another pay equity bill to the Senate floor. As Senate majority leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said yesterday on Capitol Hill, "Madam President, it is almost universally acknowledged that Republican obstructionism has reached new heights in the Senate… We could be considering the Paycheck Fairness Act, ensuring American women receive equal pay for equal work."
One wonders, of course, if the Lilly Ledbetter bill was so great, why would they need to do this drill all over again?

Islamic Circle of North America Hosts Annual Sharia, Islamophobia Conference.......
I read...I study....I understand Sharia.... NO THANKS....kinda partial to that pesky Constitution...Declaration and the Bible.
American Muslims who are disheartened by increasingly fervent attacks on sharia law are planning to assemble en masse this weekend to protest against what they fear are attempts to discriminate against their way of life. This weekend, 15,000 believers are expected to descent upon Hartford, Connecticut, for the 37th annual Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) convention.

Figures don't lie: Democrats do....
Upon just a LITTLE FACT checking....this theory about Obama being fiscally sound BLOWS UP.....
Nice if just one of these journalists did a little work before trumpeting a falsehood.. It's been breaking news all over MSNBC, liberal blogs, newspapers and even The Wall Street Journal: "Federal spending under Obama at historic lows ... It's clear that Obama has been the most fiscally moderate president we've had in 60 years." There's even a chart!
I'll pause here to give you a moment to mop up the coffee on your keyboard. Good? OK, moving on ...
Obama's Public Equity Record Worse Than Romney's Private Equity Record....
Since taking office, Obama has invested billions of taxpayer dollars in private businesses, including as part of his stimulus spending bill. Many of those investments have turned out to be unmitigated disasters — leaving in their wake bankruptcies, layoffs, criminal investigations and taxpayers on the hook for billions
Defending Tax Cuts for the ‘Rich’ .....
Democrats have been having a field day with the cry of “tax cuts for the rich” — for which Republicans seem to have no reply. This is especially surprising, because Democrats made the same arguments back in the 1920s, and the Republicans then not only had a reply, but one that eventually carried the day, when the top tax rate was brought down from 73 percent to 24 percent.
Real federal deficit dwarfs official tally ......surprise...surprise...surprise....
NYC Public School Mandates Arabic for All Elementary Students....
Nudge by nudge they creep quietly into our lives....they'll teach this - but they don't bother all that much with American History....
PS 368, a public elementary school in Manhattan, New York, has implemented a school-wide mandate that is capturing headlines. Principal Nicky Kram Rosen is requiring all 200 students in grades second through fifth to spend two 45-minute sessions each week learning Arabic.

North Carolina Store Clerk Shoots and Kills Two Alleged Robbers......
Excellent!
Two men are dead after they allegedly assaulted and tried to rob a store clerk in Gates County, North Carolina Tuesday night.
According to the clerk, the two men held him up at gunpoint and demanded money, before striking him to the floor and proceeding to kick him repeatedly.
Authorities said he was so badly beaten that he actually had the imprint of a boot on his chest at the end of the night.
The men were seemingly unaware that the clerk had a gun of his own in the store, and according to News Channel 3, he managed to grab it and shoot one of the suspects in a behind-the-back shot. After that men fled, he shot the other as well.

The Voice judge Will.i.am goes to Oxford University climate change debate in gas-guzzling helicopter ....
This mornings Hypocrisy Howler.....
He has been picked as an expert judge to help find the nation's next biggest superstar on hit TV show The Voice.
But when Will.i.am arrived at a climate change debate recently, he showed a shocking lack of judgement.
The 37-year-old Black Eyed Peas star arrived for the talk at Oxford University in his private helicopter.

Obama Continues to Deny D.C. Children Educational Opportunity....
You give ANYONE hope...and see what they do. THIS is criminal and has bothered me since he dodged this coming into Office!
Although the DCOSP remains in place via the reauthorization, in yet another end-run around Congress, the Administration has been warning the nonprofit organization that administers the DCOSP that funding may not be available next year. To maintain scholarships for the current 1,615 DCOSP students, the nonprofit is being forced to limit the number of new students allowed to enter the program.

Obama's Blockbuster Secrets....
That was until the Obama White House granted extraordinary access and information to Hollywood filmmakers for their film about the raid, originally slated to be released just before the November presidential elections. As disturbing as that may be, it is not the first time this White House has disclosed confidential information under questionable circumstances.
Even with Nutting's Math, Obama 1st Term Spending up 24% vs. Bush's Last Term......
Many writers, including me, shot out of the water the false math by Rex Nutting of Market Watch which places all of FY2009 spending at Bush's door step.
But even if you take all of the FY2009 outlays and blame it on Bush - which would include the second half of TARP that Obama requested; most of the Auto Bailout which Obama pushed; The Mortgage/Loan Medication Program; The Omnibus Spending Bill signed by Obama March 2009; The Stimulus Bill, and the S-CHIP expansion - take all of this and place it on Bush, spending is still up by almost 24% in Obama's first term versus Bush's last:

The False Obama Spending Math by Market Watch
Obama spending binge never happened - yeah....right!
I read this.....paused.....read it again.....
Got a cup of coffee because I thought it was me.
Read it again....my head exploded without warning.....I will follow with the TRUTH! Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree.
Republicans Backing Off Holder Contempt Charges, Exemplifies Systemic RINO Problem.....
Republicans in Congress better wake up and start freezing some of their own targets against the left if they hope to see a GOP victory in November. The level of corruption, from murdered federal agents to looting taxpayer monies got green companies like Solyndra to the war on religion should be enough to have our elected representatives up in arms.
Yet, there are still legislators who remain squeamish in the face of our constitutional republic's impending demise.

King on bin Laden Movie's Ties to White House: 'Unprecedented ... Potentially Dangerous'.....
What ??? - propaganda from the WH when there is an election to be won...what price security? None apparently. Our informer is spending the next 33 years in jail thanks to blabber mouths....
Now, we're learning King had every right to be worried.
Trayvon Witnesses Changed Testimony After Media Frenzy...
Obama...the first Tea Partier....HA!
In 2009, President Barack Obama reportedly called members of the Tea Party "teabaggers." It turns out that our fourth greatest president, first in so many things, may have been the first "teabagger" himself, as seen in the 1997 photograph above. Yes, that really is Barack Obama wearing a regimental coat and carrying a tricorn hat in his hand. And that flag behind him really is a Gadsden flag, with its serpent and its "Don't Tread On Me" slogan. You may want to let all of this sink in a bit, especially if you're a Tea Party-bashing progressive.
A Navy SEAL's wise advice to graduates .......
To the graduates of Tufts, Greitens issued a unique challenge, one rarely heard at commencements today: to sacrifice, to serve one's country and to live magnanimously. He called students to think above and beyond their own dreams, their own desires, and to be strong. Aristotle called this megalopsychia, greatness of soul, and considered it one of the greatest moral virtues.
Mass. gets boost from shale boom ....
And yet...our wonderful "Leaders" will still push the Cape Wind boondoggle that will be paid for by you know who.....even when it fails.....
Clean Harbors Inc. senior vice president Scott Metzger pulled into the dirt lot of a once-abandoned factory yard here, past gleaming trucks painted with the Norwell, Mass., company’s signature red, and opened the door to the environmental services firm’s newest offices.
It is the third property Clean Harbors has opened or acquired in Pennsylvania in the past year, as the company rides the drilling boom that is unlocking natural gas and oil from shale deposits and increasing demand for its know-how in avoiding, reducing, and cleaning up environmental damage. Last year, work for the shale industry generated 25 percent of Clean Harbors’ $2 billion in revenues, and that number is only expected to grow.

Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones .....
Ya think? Nudge by nudge our freedoms vanish....don't just go away - VANISH!
Drones have been used overseas to target and kill high-level terror leaders and are also being used along the U.S.-Mexico border in the battle against illegal immigration. But now, these drones are starting to be used domestically at an increasing rate.

$20 Million in propaganda to promote Obamacare....
Is this why we changed the law allowing "Propaganda" once again....so Obama could lie about Obamacare with impunity? Hell, he could have anyway! Nobody has the intestinal fortitude to stop him!
"The campaign will inform the American people about the many preventive benefits now available to those with Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act," a representative from the Department of Health & Human Services said.
Because we Julias and even Julians just couldn't do it ourselves.

The Illusion of Obama's Bin Laden Raid Situation Room Leadership....
If any of this is true...it's utterly appalling....wrong on so many levels it hurts my head...and it should hurt yours too. There are just a handful of real hero's here. They are the navy Seals....period...dot.
Obama's entire "Composite Presidency" and administration are orchestrated in this fashion. Not only is the photo's legitimacy in question, but so is the narrative illusion behind it. Obama knew of OBL's location for a year and refused to act. The CIA admits that there was "no live video feed," as implied by the iconic White House photo. It is anyone's guess what the captive audience was looking at, but it wasn't the OBL raid. It was recently reported that a highly lawyered CYA memo was drafted that made it clear that the military would take all blame for any errors, while Obama would claim all glory for successes.

President Obama’s Latest Fact and Lie Regarding Bain Capital .....
Read this - pass it on please.....just shows you how vacuous Obama is...
ronically, despite making Mitt Romney’s former company Bain Capital and other private equity firms the target of its latest attack, the Obama campaign held a near-$36,000 per plate fundraising dinner at the home of Tony James, president of the nation’s largest private equity firm, Blackstone Group. Citing the president’s latest Romney-hit-piece, Glenn Beck blasted the hypocrisy shown by the president when it comes to private equity firms.

The Vetting - Did Obama Have Lower SAT Scores Than George W. Bush?
Nice....4 years later.....after the train has gone off the rails...we vet......jeez.....
President Barack Obama is hailed by his supporters and the mainstream media as one of the most brilliant men ever to hold the office. However, his refusal to release his academic records, his admitted deficiencies as a student, and his frequent factual errors--even in his chosen field of constitutional law--have cast doubt upon his supposed genius.

Judicial Watch claims the secrets were provided for a film on the bin Laden raid that was first scheduled to be released Oct. 12, just in time to boost the president's image shortly before the November elections. Sony Pictures has since pushed the release back to December.

EPA-NASCAR green deal covers everything--but racing! ....
This is such utter BS...and does NASCAR not have ANY respect for it's fan base? Treating them like third world dolts?
President Obama’s eco-friendly EPA inked a green partnership deal with high-octane NASCAR Monday to promote recycling and environmentally-friendly products to the sport’s millions of fans.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, NASCAR will encourage fans to buy “sustainable concessions” at races, expand the use of “safer chemical products,” conserve water, reduce waste, promote recycling, push products approved by the EPA that have a small enviro footprint and encourage suppliers to get an “E3 tuneup” aimed at promoting sustainable manufacturing.

Secret Central Bank Aid Props Up Greek Banks....
There has been no official announcement. No terms or conditions have been disclosed. But Greece’s banking system is being propped up by an estimated €100 billion or so of emergency liquidity provided by the country’s central bank — approved secretly by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. If Greece were to leave the eurozone, the immediate cause might be an ECB decision to pull the plug.

Leftists continue to misuse and undermine American exceptionalism.....
American exceptionalism has even earlier roots than Tocqueville. American colonist John Winthrop gave a speech in a1630 called “A Model of Christian Charity,” also known as the “Shining City Upon a Hill” speech, in which he explained the special conditions of the New World and its incredible potential for the future.
Remember how excited the lefties were about Elizabeth Warren? ....
That quote sets my hair on fire every morning...right up on my wall....
Or: “Nice western civilization ya got here. It’d be a shame if somethin’… happened to it.” But hey, she’s okay with you keeping some of the government’s money that they let you earn. Isn’t that nice?
Finally, a Democrat who’s willing to be openly Marxist! Well, besides all the other ones.
But that was eight months and one delicious scandal ago. Now Massachusetts Dems are in the unenviable position of denying they’re going to ditch their candidate.

Guns vs. butter....Amen................
And for many Americans, it may well be. But it’s a funny thing about guns and butter: If you get that calculus wrong, you can easily wind up with neither. History offers formidable examples beginning with that sardonic Roman aphorism, Si vis pacem, para bellum: If you would have peace, then prepare for war. More recent examples — from Pearl Harbor to 9/11 — invariably reveal a common factor: We just find it terribly hard to predict our wars, much less their consequences. The American history of willful innocence in the face of relentlessly stubborn facts recalls that wonderful Yiddish proverb: Want to make God laugh? Then tell him your plans.
Coburn: Bush presidency a 'missed opportunity'....
Coburn specifically criticized the Republican-controlled Congress and President George W. Bush for enacting Medicare Part D in 2003.
“We created no tax base to pay for it, right? No tax base to pay for it so we created a brand new entitlement program that has $12 trillion worth of unfunded liability. Did we really do that to help people with their drugs or did we do that to make that no longer a campaign issue for the 2004 presidential election?” Coburn said.
“Which was it, because Republican principles would not embrace creating an unfunded entitlement? They might embrace creating an entitlement, but those same principles would say you ought to have a revenue source for it rather than borrow it from your children.”

Divide, Conquer & Destroy: NLRB Region Unleashes Micro-Unit On Retailer ....
Yup...this Administration wouldn't understand how business runs if it bite them in the proverbial ass.....
One decision, though, that the NLRB issued last year that has been discussed with little understanding by the general public (including many small businesses) is the ability for unions to now unionize “micro unions (or units).”
Simply put, the NLRB now allows small, distinct groups of employees to unionize within a workplace, even if the vast majority of employees working around the small group don’t want to unionize. Further, under the NLRB’s new, micro-union concept, it is very easy for multiple unions to now unionize multiple small distinct groups of employees.

First Amendment for Jihad? ....
The question is not whether Mehanna has the right to preach and publish what he believes – under the First Amendment he does – but whether Jihad is part of a legitimate accepted dialogue. Where were the people in his family and community who might have dissuaded him? Why have Muslim-American leaders and organizations remained silent? Instead of apologizing for him and organizing support groups (“Free Tareq”) there should be a thorough and serious self-criticism.
Obama’s Chicago Hate Group Connection |...
Munir Muhammad is grandfatherly and soft-spoken. He is on a first-name basis with half the politicians in Chicago, and has sat across the table with power players ranging from several governors of his state to Barack Hussein Obama. Muhammad is also a leading figure in one of America’s oldest hate groups.
