Now for a Few Words From the Dumbest Member of Congress
Maxine has a new favorite word (sequestration), but I'm not sure she even knows what it is.
She claims sequestration will cost 170 million jobs. There are only 134 million people currently working.

Rand Paul: F-16 Sales to Egypt 'A Mistake that Could Will Haunt Us'
Egypt, under the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization (although not yet bureaucratically recognized as such), an enemy of Israel and Obama is selling them F-16s.

The problem, is that Obama is creating so many dangerous situations, crap like this goes unnoticed.
We're From the Government - We're Here to Help
or - We're From the Government - We're Here to Help Murder
Siege of Mount Carmel, Waco, TX 1993
I believe David Koresh and the Branch Davidians were a bunch of sick, child abusers, but they did not deserve to be murdered without trial and the children certainly did not deserve the terror and murder meted out by their own government.
None of what the government did at Mount Carmel in 1993 was warranted or necessary, and AG Janet Reno should be serving life in prison for murder and conspiracy.
Here's what I mean by conspiracy. This whole fiasco was planned far in advance and was meant to produce a media event and "photo op" for the BATF and it's only legal justification was as a a tax collection case
Also of note, was the use of active duty special operations personnel in violation of The Posse Comitatus Act. Here is a compilation of the activities during the event.
So Obama Saved GM - Government Motors is Now China Motors
I know Obama was really saving the UAW, not GM. I would guess those union jobs are going to China too, is the Union moving to China? Note to unions - support liberals, lose your jobs anyway.

BTW, this idiot is the first Muslim elected to Congress - No wonder he loves Obama.
Signs of Hope in Socialist America
SF Bay Area: OAKLAND (KPIX 5) – Oakland’s crime problems have gotten so bad that some people aren’t even bothering to call the cops anymore; instead, they’re trying to solve and prevent crimes themselves.
KPIX 5 cameras caught up with a half dozen neighbors in East Oakland’s Arcadia Park neighborhood Monday as they walked the streets on the lookout for crime. The vigilance has never seemed more necessary than now; 25 homes in the neighborhood have been burglarized over the last two months alone.
In a neighborhood that has started to feel like the wild west, people have even started posting “wanted” signs.

Carter Trashes Obama - OMG
WND: Jimmy Carter knows who to blame for the world’s troubles: the United States.
Speaking Sunday in San Francisco, the former president told the Commonwealth Club, “Our country is now looked upon as the foremost war-like nation on earth, and there is almost a complete dearth now of commitment of America to negotiate differences with others.”
It’s just the latest slam on the U.S. He’s also blasted staunch allies Britain and Israel, while offering words of support for America-haters Iran, Hamas, Saddam Hussein and North Korea.
This time, Carter even scorched the Obama administration for its handling of the Mideast.

Where Are the Tears
He was so sad, he cried on national TV, I wanted to pat him on the shoulder and say there, there, didn't you? He's such a caring man, really concerned for the children, and us all.
WELL WHAT ABOUT the kids in Chicago, his "home" town, where he learned leadership and his great friend Rahm Emanuel is running things? Maybe he ought to ask Rahm how well gun control laws work.
From: Crime in Chicago:
62 School Age Children Murdered in Chicago So Far This Year
446 School Age Children Shot in Chicago in 2012
Chicago has the strongest gun control regime in the nation. Both assault weapons and high-capacity magazines are completely banned in the city. And up until the 2010 Supreme Court decision that legalized them, handguns were banned too.

Crime: Liberal vs Conservative
But, what is most damaging are the results of their influence and incompetence. The thing that stands out most to me is how Bill Clinton's behavior and lies convinced teenagers that "blow jobs" are not really sex acts . It's called "The Clinton-Lewinsky Effect." What a role model he turned out to be!
Because liberals tend not to believe in personal or public accountability and responsibility, treat the rule of law and the Constitution as merely optional suggestions; the jurisdictions they control tend to fall into ruin and anarchy. Chicago is one of the best examples, but there are plenty of others:
Crime rates in liberal cities shockingly higher than in conservative cities
The Father of Legalized Slavery in America Was a Black Man
His name was Anthony Johnson from Angola, Africa. From evidence found in the earliest legal documents, Anthony Johnson must be recognized as the nation’s first official legal slaveholder.
In fact, according to this, on a proportion basis, blacks were the preponderate owners of black slaves:
Granted the difference is, and it's a BIG difference, no whites were ever legal slaves, but how does this affect the asinine claims of slavery restitution?
In fact, according to this, on a proportion basis, blacks were the preponderate owners of black slaves:
In the rare instances when the ownership of slaves by free Negroes is acknowledged in the history books, justification centers on the claim that black slave masters were simply individuals who purchased the freedom of a spouse or child from a white slaveholder and had been unable to legally manumit them. Although this did indeed happen at times, it is a misrepresentation of the majority of instances, one which is debunked by records of the period on blacks who owned slaves. These include individuals such as Justus Angel and Mistress L. Horry, of Colleton District, South Carolina, who each owned 84 slaves in 1830. In fact, in 1830 a fourth of the free Negro slave masters in South Carolina owned 10 or more slaves; eight owning 30 or more (2).
According to federal census reports, on June 1, 1860 there were nearly 4.5 million Negroes in the United States, with fewer than four million of them living in the southern slaveholding states. Of the blacks residing in the South, 261,988 were not slaves. Of this number, 10,689 lived in New Orleans. The country's leading African American historian, Duke University professor John Hope Franklin, records that in New Orleans over 3,000 free Negroes owned slaves, or 28 percent of the free Negroes in that city.
Granted the difference is, and it's a BIG difference, no whites were ever legal slaves, but how does this affect the asinine claims of slavery restitution?
Biden; An Unspeakable Idiot
I don't know where to start with this. NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE ECONOMY BEING OVERWHELMED!!!! No not because our economy will be overwhelmed beyond our shores, We are worried about you, Obama, and FED destroying the economy with your insane spending, disabling debt, and printing money like it's toilet paper. Have you even seen prices lately ASSHOLE!
Just in Case You Are Worried
“The Pet Food Stamps program … has been created to fill the void in the United States Food Stamp program .........Until the Obama Administration can get it's shit together and waste some more money!
Take It From Chuck
Chuck Woolery has been a Hollywood personality for more than four decades as a recording artist, actor and, most notably, as a legendary host of such game shows as “Wheel of Fortune,” “The Dating Game,” “Love Connection,” and “Lingo.” As a Navy veteran, Woolery has held conservative political views for most of his life. He did not share these views publicly due to the pervading liberal atmosphere in the entertainment industry.

Work At Home - Don't You Wish You Could
Not anymore at Yahoo
Guess what, tens of thousands of civilian Federal employees work from home. Over 40,000 just in Washington, DC. In fact 78% of all civilian Federal employees are eligible to do so. I personally know some, and they only have to come into the office once every two weeks.
The Feds will tell you this has reduced their carbon foot print, increased productivity, reduced employee turn over, saves office space and many other positive things.
Even, if all that were true, and I don't believe it is; there are far, far too many Federal employees, they are over paid (I was one of them), a preponderance are unqualified, and many have really bad attitudes.
That said, there are many good, hard working and dedicated people working for the government, but few of them are above middle management.
Mail Online: Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has some employees up in arms after she put the kibosh on working remotely from home and is now calling all Yahoo staff to report to the office.
The move will only impact a small percentage of the company's workforce, primarily customer service representatives or staffers who work in city's where Yahoo does not have an office.
But the internal announcement on Friday has ruffled feathers as many employees say the flexible work arrangement is a key part of their job and will have a significant impact on their personal lives.
'Many such staffers who wrote me today are angry, because they felt they were initially hired with the assumption that they could work more flexibly. Not so, as it turns out,' Swisher wrote in a blog posting about the change expected to impact several hundred workers.
The company headquarters is located in Sunnyvale, California, near San Jose. The public corporation employs 11,500 people in more than 20 countries across the globe.I wonder why? Maybe most people can't be trusted to do their job without oversight?

The Case of the Phantom Ballots
The Miami Herald: The first phantom absentee ballot request hit the Miami-Dade elections website at 9:11 p.m. Saturday, July 7.
The next one came at 9:14. Then 9:17. 9:22. 9:24. 9:25.
Within 2½ weeks, 2,552 online requests arrived from voters who had not applied for absentee ballots. They streamed in much too quickly for real people to be filling them out. They originated from only a handful of Internet Protocol addresses. And they were not random.
It had all the appearances of a political dirty trick, a high-tech effort by an unknown hacker to sway three key Aug. 14 primary elections, a Miami Herald investigation has found.
The plot failed. The elections department’s software flagged the requests as suspicious. The ballots weren’t sent out.
But who was behind it? And next time, would a more skilled hacker be able to rig an election? ...............The story above is just the tip of the ice berg. I'm convinced there has been MASSIVE voter fraud perpetrated by Democrats and that in fact, Obama did not actually win the past election. No one seems, at least officially, to care too much.
I believe all national elections and maybe even local ones should be conducted by paper ballot (no matter how long it takes), voter ID required, and the military should oversee the elections and count the ballots. I really don't think anyone else could be trusted; that's the state this country has fallen into under the corrupting influence of liberalism.
Sacrifice Yourself - Give the Scumbag a Chance
I would imagine this guy had been warned on numerous occasions by the police.
Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com
The Blaze: An armed elderly man in Dallas shot and killed a suspected burglar after finding him trying to break into his Dallas home this week. However, he was also forced to defend his actions after the would-be robber’s family showed up at his home.
The homeowner, a repeat burglary victim, found 33-year-old Deyfon Pipkins attempting to climb in the house through the window and fired at least one shot at the criminal, hitting his target.
Dallas police Sgt. Calvin Johnson told KDFW-TV that the homeowner is covered by the so-called “Castle Doctrine,” which provides legal protection to gun owners in Texas and other states who are forced to use deadly force against a home intruder. “It means they don’t actually have to retreat once someone comes in their home,” Johnson said. “You have the option of using deadly force if you believe your life is in danger.”
So You Think Government is Good
The following is from an email I received and the author is anonymous, but is an excellent example of government mismanagement and why good conservatives insist that government be as small and uninvolved as possible.
Remember, not only did you and I contribute to Social Security but your employer did, too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500. Read that again. Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny?
We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank to insure you and I that we would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government. Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back. If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.
Another thing with me.... I have two deceased husbands who died in their 50's, (one was 51 and the other one was 59 before one percent of their social security could be drawn. I worked all my life and am drawing 100% on my own social security). Their S.S. money will never have one cent drawn from what they paid into S.S. all their lives.
THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE MADOFF EVER DID.
Entitlement my foot, I paid cash for my social security insurance! Just because they borrowed the money for other government spending, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!
Remember Congressional benefits? --- free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days. Now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement payments entitlements?
We're "broke" and we can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, or Homeless. Yet in the last few months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile and Turkey . And now Pakistan ......home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed S.S. income' receive no additional federal aid nor do they get any financial breaks, while our government and religious organizations pour hundreds of billions of $$$ and tons of food to foreign countries!
They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? It was supposed to be in a locked box, not part of the general fund.
Sad isn't it?

Liberal Magic Kingdom
Watchdog.org: The federal government’s dream of a renewable energy empire hinges on a scrubby outpost here, where scientists and executives doggedly explore new frontier.
If you live outside Colorado, you probably haven’t heard of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory – NREL for short. It’s the place where solar panels, windmills and corn are deemed the energy source of the future and companies who support such endeavors are courted.
It’s also the place where highly paid staff decide how to spend hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.
And the public pays those decision-makers well: NREL’s top executive, Dr. Dan Arvizu, makes close to a million dollars per year. His two top lieutenants rake in more than half a million each and nine others make more than $350,000 a year.
But what is really going on there?A big waste of money, that's what. Read the rest here.....

From the Mail Bag
Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his f...irst witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?'
She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly,you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife,and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'
She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.
Why I Don't Like the Obamas
If I or any other white man made the same comments, we would immediately be labeled racists. Mr. Masse will merely be labeled an "Uncle Tom".
This is a fairly lengthy read, but well worth the time it takes and should be shared with others.
The Daily Rant: "The other evening on my twitter, a person asked me why I didn’t like the Obama’s? Specifically I was asked: “I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama’s? It seems personal not policy related. You even dissed their Christmas family pic.” The truth is I do not like the Obamas, what they represent, their ideology, and I certainly do not like his policies and legislation.
I’ve made no secret of my contempt for the Obamas. As I responded to the person who asked me the aforementioned question, I don’t like them because they are committed to the fundamental change of my/our country into what can only be regarded as a Communist state.
I don’t hate them per definition, but I condemn them because they are the worst kind of racialists, they are elitist Leninists with contempt for traditional America. They display disrespect for the sanctity of the office he holds, and for those who are willing to admit same Michelle Obama’s raw contempt for white America is transpicuous.
I don’t like them because they comport themselves as emperor and empress. I expect, no I demand respect for the Office of President and a love of our country and her citizenry from the leader entrusted with the governance of same. President and Mrs. Reagan displayed an unparalleled love for the country and her people. The Reagans made Americans feel good about themselves and about what we could accomplish. Could you envision President Reagan instructing his Justice Department to act like jack-booted thugs?
Presidents are politicians and all politicians are known and pretty much expected to manipulate the truth, if not outright lie, but even using that low standard, the Obama’s have taken lies, dishonesty, deceit, mendacity, subterfuge and obfuscation to new depths. They are verbally abusive to the citizenry and they display an animus for civility.
I do not like them, because they both display bigotry overtly, as in the case of Harvard Professor Louis Gates, when he accused the Cambridge Police of acting stupidly, and her code speak pursuant to now being able too be proud of America. I view that statement and that mindset as an insult to those who died to provide a country where a Kenyan, his illegal alien relatives, and his alleged progeny, could come and not only live freely, but rise to the highest, most powerful, position in the world. Michelle Obama is free to hate and disparage whites, because Americans of every description paid with their blood to ensure her right to do same.
I have a saying, that “the only reason a person hides things, is because they have something to hide.” No president in history has spent over a million dollars to keep his records and his past sealed. And what the two of them have shared has been proved to be lies. He lied about when and how they met, he lied about his mother’s death and problems with insurance, Michelle lied to a crowd pursuant to nearly $500,000 bank stocks they inherited from his family. He has lied about his father’s military service, about the civil rights movement, ad nauseum.
He lied to the world about the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address. He berated and publicly insulted a sitting Congressman. He has surrounded himself with the most rabidly, radical, socialist academicians today. He has fought for abortion procedures and opposed rulings that protected women and children, that even Planned Parenthood did not seek to support. He is openly hostile to business and aggressively hostile to Israel.
His wife treats being the First Lady, as her personal American Express Black Card (arguably the most prestigious credit card in the world). I condemn them because, as people are suffering, losing their homes, their jobs, their retirements, he and his family are arrogantly showing off their life of entitlement – as he goes about creating and fomenting class warfare.
I don’t like them, and I neither apologize nor retreat from my public condemnation of them and of his policies. We should condemn them for the disrespect they show our people, for his willful and unconstitutional actions pursuant to obeying the Constitutional parameters he is bound by, and his willful disregard for Congressional authority.
Dislike for them has nothing to do with the color of their skin, it has everything to do with their behavior, attitudes, and policies. And I have open scorn for their playing the race.
It is my intention to do all within my ability to ensure their reign is one term. I could go on, but let me conclude with this. I condemn in the strongest possible terms the media for refusing to investigate them as they did President Bush and President Clinton, and for refusing to label them for what they truly are. There is no scenario known to man, whereby a white president and his wife could ignore laws, flaunt their position, and lord over the people as these two are permitted out of fear for their color.
As I wrote in a syndicated column titled “Nero In The White House” – “Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader. He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is unequalled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to sainthood…Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement – while America’s people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.” (WND.com; 8/8/11)
Oh, and as for it being personal, you tell me how you would feel if a senator from Illinois sent you a personally signed card, intended to intimidate you and your family. Because you had written a syndicated column titled “Darth Democrat” that was critical of him."
The New Distinguished Cubicle Service Medal
The Distinguished Warfare Medal is ranked above both the Bronze Star with Combat "V" and the Purple Heart – medals typically awarded for combat in which the servicemember's life is at risk.
"The VFW fully concurs that those far from the fight are having an immediate impact on the battlefield in real-time, but medals that can only be earned in direct combat must mean more than medals awarded in the rear," VFW National Commander John E. Hamilton said in a statement released Thursday. "The VFW urges the Department of Defense to reconsider the new medal's placement in the military order of precedence."
Hamilton said the new medal and its ranking "could quickly deteriorate into a morale issue."
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, who announced the new award on Wednesday, said the military needed a medal that recognizes that post-9/11 warfare is different with servicemembers at consoles in the U.S. directly affecting the outcome of enemy engagements.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who previously served as CIA director, said in a statement that he had "seen first-hand how modern tools like remotely-piloted platforms and cyber systems have changed the way wars can be fought, changed the course of battle even from afar."
But there had been no way previously to honor the efforts of the technicians with a military decoration.
"For that reason, I formally approved establishing the Distinguished Warfare Medal," Panetta said.
The award has been in the works for some time. Nearly a year ago, an MQ-18 Hummingbird instructor pilot and AC-130U pilot argued for a combat medal for drone operators in Air & Space Power Journal.
Maj. Dave Blair dismissed the argument that fighting a war from a computer monitor is not the same as the traditional interpretation of combat -- that "it is not honorable."
"[We] might say the same for firing a missile beyond visual range from a fighter cloaked with stealth technology," he wrote. "It would be hard to imagine that the same individual would feel compelled to activate his radar transponder upon contact with the enemy, just to restore honor to his kill by mitigating his technological defenses."
He also said drone pilots are in danger, just like pilots flying aircraft over the combat theater.
"Recall that the individuals killed in the terrorist attack of 11 September 2001 on the Pentagon received the Purple Heart, a combat medal," he wrote. "This war is global, and our enemies have global reach as well. If we found ourselves in our enemies' position, would we spend the time and attract attention attempting to purchase a high-profile missile when a terror attack on RPA [remotely piloted aircraft] operators in the continental United States would produce better results?"
You Are Safer in Afghanistan Than in Chicago
The City most representative of the guy calling himself President in it's lawlessness and corruption is a place of hopelessness, fear, and desperation; made so by decades of corruption and leaderless liberal management.
The conflict in Afghanistan, which started Oct. 7, 2001, has seen a total of 2,166 killed.
Between 2003 and 2011, 4,265 people were murdered in the city of Chicago.
Excerpts from a WND story: "Of the victims of murder in Chicago from 2003 to 2011, an average of 77 percent had a prior arrest history, with a high of 79 percent of the 436 murdered in Chicago in 2010 having arrest histories.
For the same 2003-2011 period, blacks were the victims of 75 percent of 4,265 murders. Blacks also were the offenders in 75 percent of the murders.
According to 2010 U.S. Census information, Chicago has a population of 2,695,598 people. The city is 33 percent black, 32 percent white (not Hispanic) and 30 percent Hispanic or Latino in origin.
For the 2003-2011 period, whites were nearly 6 percent of the victims and accused of carrying out 4 percent of the murders.
For the 2003-2011 period, Hispanics or Latinos were 19 percent of the victims and 20 percent of the offenders.
Between 2003 and 2011, 4,265 people were murdered in the city of Chicago. In 2012 alone, 512 people were murdered in the city.
Operation Enduring Freedom, the name for the war in Afghanistan, which started Oct. 7, 2001, has seen a total of 2,166 killed. The war has been ongoing for 11 years, 3 months and one week.
Operation Iraqi Freedom, the name for the war in Iraq, which started March 20, 2003, and ended Dec. 15, 2011, saw a total of 4,422 killed."
"In a city with some of the toughest gun control laws in America, where a handgun cannot be purchased, Fox News reported that Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy “acknowledged aiming at assault weapons misses the mark when dealing with Chicago’s gang violence.”

Back in the USA
Back in that pre-liberal world (back when we had never heard of hope and change) public schools taught the three Rs and taught them well and you either learned them, or spent some extra years in school or dropped out. I didn't spend extra years or drop out, I was asked to leave in no uncertain terms (after much experience on the wrong end of a slat with holes drilled in it).
When you turned eighteen, you were expected to get a job or join the military (I joined). Then if you were so disposed, you either went to trade school or went to college part-time or used the GI bill after service (that's what I did and made the Dean's list).
Back in those bad ole days of capitalism and patriotism you couldn't buy a house unless you could pay for it and being on the dole in any way or having a child out-of-wedlock was considered shameful; you see we were a benighted people, we were not progressive. We thought we were responsible for our actions, we should earn what we received, pay for what we bought, return what we borrowed, were bound by our word, and answered to God. Silly us!
Now, with proper liberal indoctrination, we know that everyone is entitled to a fine new house, a new car, health care insurance, a job we are not qualified for (or perpetual unemployment benefits), free food, rent subsidies, free cell phones, have a spouse of the same gender (maybe soon.... of another species), feel guilty for being male and/or white, vote as many times as we want for a candidate and issues we know nothing about, and as the Tea Party Economist shows; get a diploma which does us no good and a personal debt we can never pay.

Wow, Uber-Liberal Politico Is Turning On Obama
POLITICO: President Barack Obama is a master at limiting, shaping and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House.
Not for the reason that conservatives suspect: namely, that a liberal press willingly and eagerly allows itself to get manipulated. Instead, the mastery mostly flows from a White House that has taken old tricks for shaping coverage (staged leaks, friendly interviews) and put them on steroids using new ones (social media, content creation, precision targeting). And it’s an equal opportunity strategy: Media across the ideological spectrum are left scrambling for access.
The results are transformational. With more technology, and fewer resources at many media companies, the balance of power between the White House and press has tipped unmistakably toward the government. This is an arguably dangerous development, and one that the Obama White House — fluent in digital media and no fan of the mainstream press — has exploited cleverly and ruthlessly. And future presidents from both parties will undoubtedly copy and expand on this approach.
“The balance of power used to be much more in favor of the mainstream press,” said Mike McCurry, who was press secretary to President Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Nowadays, he said, “The White House gets away with stuff I would never have dreamed of doing. When I talk to White House reporters now, they say it’s really tough to do business with people who don’t see the need to be cooperative.”

Okay Financial Crisis Over - Al Sharpton to the Rescue
Talk about theater of the absurd. Obama's getting economic advice from a group who are masters of the government dole; none of them have ever made any contribution to the economic prosperity of the nation or their community.
But, then again, Obama dosen't want to help the economy.
The Weekly Standard: Barack Obama met with Al Sharpton and other "African American leaders" to discuss the president's "plan to strengthen the economy for the middle class and continue to build ladders of opportunity for those striving to get there," according to the White House.
Participants in the meeting included:
• Melanie Campbell, President, National Coalition of Black Civic Participation
• Ralph Everett, President, Joint Center for Economic and Political Studies
• Wade Henderson, President, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
• Ben Jealous, President, National Association of the Advancement of Colored People
• Avis Jones-DeWeever, Executive Director, National Council of Negro Women
• Sharon J. Lettman-Hicks, Executive Director, National Black Justice Coalition
• Al Sharpton, Founder and President of National Action Network
• Rev Derrick Harkins, 19th Street Baptist Church
• Judith Browne Dianis, Co-Director, Advancement Project

What If Your Debit and Credit Cards Don't Work
EMP WOULD HIT BANKS 'AT SPEED OF LIGHT'
'Keep cash' recommended as records loss would make buying food, gas impossible
How much cash do you normally have on hand? What if your debit and credit cards don't work and you can't access your accounts at the bank. They won't give you any money unless they know you have money on deposit and they don't keep paper ledgers any more.
WND: WASHINGTON – It’s happening with increasing regularity – a giant sunspot that is at least six times the diameter of the Earth formed in less than a few hours and is spewing solar flares that can be up to six or seven times the size of the Earth.
These flares are becoming more frequent due to the sun approaching what scientists call a solar storm maximum in its 11-year cycle, and the sunspot of immediate concern now is more in alignment with Earth.
This has raised new alarms over what effect a direct impact one of these flares, which produce a massive electromagnetic pulse, would have on America’s electric grid system and technology-based society, much of which remains unprotected from any direct EMP event. This is not some esoteric scientific theory. Try this: It could make your bank accounts no more than a file on a hard drive in a bank office, unreachable by you or your creditors, experts warn.

Why Are Liberals So Afraid of Veterans
You've served your country and sacrificed your health and future and the country you served, now controlled by ungrateful, incompetents who tell you that you are incompetent and untrustworthy.
Most liberals won't serve, they won't even permit military recruiting at many universities yet they take their security for granted because they enjoy the most powerful and professional military in the world, while considering the people they rely upon as unworthy, second-class citizens who are unqualified to do anything else.
Why is then that the business community consider veterans to be the most desirable employees?
SHOCK REPORT — Veterans Receive Letters From VA Prohibiting Ownership or Purchase of Firearms
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, February 22, 2013, 6:11 A
This must be Barack Obama’s way of thanking our veterans for serving.
US veterans are receiving letters from the government informing them that they are disabled and not allowed to own, purchase or possess a firearm. If the veteran does decide to purchase a firearm he will by fined, imprisoned or both.

Las Vegas - I'll Bet This Was A Rapper Crossing a Mexican Drug Cartel
Reuters: Three people died on the Las Vegas strip early on Thursday when gunmen in a Range Rover sport utility vehicle opened fire on a Maserati, killing the driver and touching off a fiery multi-car crash.
The driver of the Maserati was slain in the pre-dawn shooting, and his car collided with a taxi carrying two people, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police spokesman Officer Jose Hernandez said.
The cab exploded into flames in the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road in front of several casino resorts, killing the driver and a passenger.
"They were trapped inside the taxi and tragically both lost their lives," Hernandez said.
The gunfire and collision in the busy intersection near the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace hotels triggered another crash involving four other vehicles that left at least four people injured, Hernandez said.
"There was a loud bang and I hear two other booms. I looked out my window at Caesars Palace ... and could see the fireball," witness John Lamb was quoted as saying on the news website of Las Vegas KLAS-TV's 8News Now.
Hernandez said investigators had not yet established a motive for the shooting or determined how many occupants of the Range Rover had opened fire on the Maserati.
The Range Rover sped from the scene. Hernandez said police had no leads on the suspects or their vehicle and were asking for help from the public. The intersection was expected to remain closed for much of Thursday due to the investigation.
An injured passenger in the Maserati and three people hurt in the crashes were taken to University Medical Center.
A hospital spokeswoman said three of the people had been treated and released. She declined to provide information about the fourth person.
The incident occurred not far from where rapper Tupac Shakur was shot in September 1996 while riding in a BMW being driven by Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight.
Shakur, 25, was hit by gunfire from at least one assailant in a Cadillac while sitting in Knight's car at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane and died six days later at University Medical Center. The crime remains unsolved.
Warriors With Wombs

By Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, U.S. Army (ret.)
My rule in the battalion was standards, not gender-governed, except where they were already assigned, i.e., medics and mechanics. This was during the ’70s, a tough time for drugs and discipline in the military. Here is what I found. As a result of competition, my driver and our color guard, highly contested duty, were women. The women had less disciplinary problems than the men. In administrative jobs, they were at least equal to men. But most could not carry their load physically – loading litters in choppers, carrying wounded to safety, even lifting tool chests. As a result the men covered for them, often causing us to use two people when one should have done the job – all of which effected readiness. They were not good in the field and became less functional when issues of hygiene, and feminine hygiene, literally knocked them out and we had to jerry-rig showers, wasting valuable time.read the rest here.......

Obviously convicted criminals, mental patients, and those with restraining orders are on the list. But what about the stupid? This could potentially, include half of America based on the last national election.

How much do these assholes get for "office expenses"!
These people are not serving their country, they are parasites. It reminds me of a poor dog covered from head to tail in fat ticks. Between the family trees infested with perpetual welfare pigs and the high rollers in Congress that feed them, America doesn't stand a chance in hell of surviving.
