A free-lecture by William Jacobson will occur TOMORROW @
Gratz College [May 29, 7:30 p.m.]. I receive hyperlinks to his blog [Legal Insurrection] and to his sister-blog College Insurrection], and I have been advised to follow them regularly; another blogger there is Andrew Branca, who provides expert commentary and explanation about self-defense law.
This Blast e-mail is dedicated to the healthcare professional with whom I had a rather intense chat a few hours ago, whose response to reading the most recent entry was, I have agida....but I will make an effort to digest this information; how about one article for each time you floss? It may become desirable to introduce her to another individual, whose reaction to reading the identical meta-analysis of the news was telling: You have every right in the world to be angry with Obama. We all can exhibit anger, no matter how sweet and composed we appear to be to all. Everyone thinks Im so nice but when I get angry (justifiable so) I turn into a real bitch. Stay the way you are my friend, thats why so many people love you and admire you. You raised my consciousness about Obama more than Gloria Steinem did in the 70s with womens lib! Although my reaction to BHO is less anger and more fear, both ladies may perceive the following three introductory observations as motivators. First, can we all not identify with the Leading Caribbean AIDS Expert who was unjustly FIRED For Noting That Gay Males Get AIDS from Anal Sex, for deviating from the politically correct posture of fascist libs/dems? Second, can we all not hope to channel the energies of the Runner who, after a Painful Fall, won the sprint? Third, is it inappropriate to disseminate the following AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE to Obama who, during his Cairo speech, said, "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's history"?
Dear Mr. Obama:
Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital? Have you heard a Muslim orchestra? Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade? Have you witnessed a Muslim charity? Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout? Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper? The answer is no, you have not. Just ask yourself WHY???
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the: United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence? Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamicheritage," doesn't it, Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era?
Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network's that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4 th were stone-cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America....
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims.
And now we can add November 5, 2009, the date of the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Also, don't forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America
EVERY AMERICAN MUST READ THIS!
Be sure to SEND IT TO ALL.
Muslim Heritage, my ass.
And if you don't share this message, you are part of the problem!
An effort is constantly made to minimize redundancy; thats why, for example, topics that may appear to have been beaten-to-death [e.g., the dangers of Common Core, the ever-expanding BHOs Scandal Sheet, and the need for Paycheck Protection in PA] are not cited as often as would be expected when news-items [such as via Politicos daily blast e-mail dedicated to education] are constantly received; whenever possible, info is stripped of identifying-characteristics so that all thats left is the gravamen of the idea being conveyed. You receive notices that may not be widely disseminated [such as our efforts to achieve the Mandatory Holocaust Education of all PA-students prior to high-school graduation]. I care not that this is remitted to Dems who may not share my desire to maximize the BGOPs suasive ability, as explored two days ago when probing why people-persist-in-believing-things-that-just-arent-true by noting an authors conclusion that people should present issues in a way that keeps broader notions out of itmessages that are not political, not ideological, not in any way a reflection of who you are. Recall that some feel the-best-way-to-win-an-argument is to provoke the other individual to moderate his/her views by requesting [instead of his/her reasoning] an explanation as to how the policy being advocated would worktracing step-by-stepfrom start to finisharticulating the causal path from the policy to the effects it was supposed to have. Then note 11 rules for debating a Leftist, by Ben Shapiro, which he articulated @ the GOPs Annual Spring Luncheon in Allentown during his keynote-speech.
Varying formats have been used to convey these concepts, sometimes more themed than comprehensive; this Blast e-mail, directed @ an individual who has not skimmed prior efforts, is delimited by conceptualizing hyperlinks received during the past day that update a broad range of concerns. It is impossible to recapitulate everything, but each fresh entry tightens-the-albatross sported by BHOs acolytes, apologists, and advocates. [Sorry about the triply-mixed metaphor.] To allow others to appreciate what this effort has generated longitudinally, the most recent compilation of these essays is appended, with the prior 17 volumes available [each attachment less than 2-megs] upon request.
[From a reader, reacting to what was just remitted]: Bob, Ive long thought the greatest threat on this planet is Muslim extremism. Ive expressed that in a number of guest opinions in the BCCT [Bucks County Currier-Times]. What too many conservatives and tea party people fail to realize is that they place their feet on women by their efforts to eradicate abortion rights. To them, the greatest enemy is Planned Parenthood. Im a registered Republican and by most standards a conservative, but I could never eliminate choice. What these so-called good and honest believers would be shocked to learn is that they are living in the shadow of Muslim extremism and, in their own way, perpetuating it. Thanks for your variety of information.
Exemplifying why I rarely include conspiracy-theories is the claim of VIDEO PROOF Showing No Planes Hit The WTC On 9/11, which provoked such comments as these:
I was there on that day. I was an EMT in NYC and from where I lived I could see the towers clearly. I SAW the plane hit the 2nd tower. So, I don't give a crap about fake videos or whatever. I saw the reality of the plane crashing into the tower. Stop trivializing the loss of civilian lives and all the heroes who tried to save them with your grasping attempts at recognition.
Many things wrong with this analysis. The WTC tower is NOT a solid piece of concrete and steel. The outside was clad with windows and the interior hollow between the floors and where structural supports would be. In fact there is more hollow space per cubic foot than solid space. At least a 9' vertical void between each floor. The aircraft is entirely capable of penetrating the windows and capable of continuing through the structure unimpeded through the hollow voids between the floors. The rules of momentum and energy back this up. The video illusion of the wing passing through the top of the building is because the building is in front of the WTC buildings and not behind them as claimed. I'm really disappointed this website posted this level of stupidity.
If so, where are the planes and the people who were on-board?
First, watch a short video on Conservatism and to peruse the comments it engendered, such as:
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President."
I am a former left-wing liberal. I am sure glad that I changed my idealogy to Conservatism. Our nation cannot sustain this America-breaking uber-liberal idealogy that has been imparted on us today. It is make-or-break time for our country!
You can't beat facts but as far as that goes, the fact is we as a nation (divided or as one) still elected this douchebag into office. What you people who voted for him saw in him I will never know. How he got a second term is beyond me but the real fact is that this tyrant needs to be out of office because with every minute he is in that position we slip into a more poorer, angrier, and divided country. We the people for the people just doesn't mean what it used to back in July of 1776. Bring back what it truly means to be an American. A Patriot.
A great phrase a few years ago by Glenn Beck, used by the Framers of the Constitution, was: WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FEARS THE PEOPLE, YOU HAVE DEMOCRACY; WHEN THE PEOPLE FEAR THE GOVERNMENT, YOU HAVE TYRANY.
Obama is the most vile, evil, loathsome, insidious, racist, feckless, petulant, nefarious, narcissistic, arrogant, despicable, delusional, detestable, anti-US-Constitution, anti- military, pathologically-lying, integrity-stricken, morally-corrupt, divisive, destructive sociopath to have ever soiled OUR Oval Office. I approve of my message.
The best way to stop this before 2016 is by maintaining control of the House and regaining control of the Senate. And don't just vote for the guy with an "R" next to his name. Vote for the guy who stands for the constitution. That means voting in the primaries is just as important.
I was a resident alien in the USA for 18 years. I was so impressed with the political system and how involved and important everyday folks were in it. I thought it was the greatest country on Earth until 2008 and then somehow people were not listening to what this inexperienced, egotistical man was saying.,,,it seemed they were just impressed with the color of his skin and the fact that he could talk smoothly. The disappointment I felt was huge in 2008 in the American people but to re-elect this consummate campaigner who lies through his teeth and constantly plays the blame game without accomplishing anything was beyond me. It is a tragedy for the country and a travesty of all the wonderful things the USA stands for...or used to....
Second, lets update BHOs Foreign Policy, mere hours prior to his revelation of his Doctrine during his West Point speech, and lets see how it measures-up with the philosophies of prior Presidents and/or his prior iterations [Presidential doctrines] thereof. Then, lets see if he recognizes that, after PUTIN TOLD KIEV TO STOP OPERATION IN EAST UKRAINE, Kiev Retook Donetsk Airport [after there were over 45 Pro- Russians Dead]; it is doubtful hell recognize how stressful it must be for these abandoned [by the USA and, thus, by other Europeans] people when, for example, Israel found it necessary to rescue Ukrainian Jews stranded by fighting. Certainly, hell avoid mentioning the fact that Obama's Keystone Indecision Keeps Gas Prices High and prevents America from offering fuel to Ukrainians who otherwise face both a Russian boycott and a price-hike. And, in all probability, hell attempt to fly above [rhetorically] Europes Lurch Right, which some view as Bad for the Jewsand the United States.
Assuredly, BHO will not discuss the need to combat Islamism, recognizing that savages continue to fight the Crusades in their effort to create a worldwide Caliphate [and to slit the throats of everyone who impedes this Jihad]. For example, will he advocate against the Death Sentenced Sudanese Christian Convert who has now given-birth in Jail? Will he rail against Honor Killings, such as of a Pregnant Pakistani Woman who was Stoned to Death by her own family outside a courthouse in the Pakistani city of Lahore for marrying the man she loved, and will he even note that an American Doctor was gunned-down in Front of Wife and Son in Pakistan? Will he decry Signs of New Chemical Attacks by Syria or recognize that an Italian Jesuit Priest [Father Paolo Dall'Oglio] was abducted in July 2013 in Syria and now, reportedly, killed by Al Qaeda-linked militants he is funding? Will he condemn Boko Haram for having Slaughteredi 20 Villagers for Failure to Pay Islamic Tax or Nigeria for having Backeed-Out of a Deal to Recover Boko Haram's Abducted Schoolgirls [after the Nigerian government officials claimed that they know the location of the 200+ schoolgirls that were abducted by Boko Haram last month, but that they will not be recovered by force because, allegedly, gunfire would put the girls' lives in danger]? Would he dare to explain why the State Departments Counter Terrorism (CT) Bureau was forced to Apologize for Promoting a controversial Muslim Cleric whose organization has backed Hamas and endorsed a fatwa authorizing the murder of U.S. soldiers in Iraq? Will he stand-up against a frivolous lawsuit filed by a Muslim Organization against Canadas Prime Minister for Libel? {Also, note the campus-level BDS-movement battle rages, as the Anti-Israel Students' Divestment Win at DePaul was Short-Lived; know that Professors Engage in Anti-Semitic Rhetoric on a Secret Listserv that claims Zionists and Jewish people control academia.}
Consider Obamas plan to keep 9,800 troops in Afghanistan until the end of 16 [claiming Afghanistan "Will not be a perfect place. And it is not America's responsibility to make it one.Americans have learned that it's harder to end wars than it is to begin them, but this is how wars end in the 21 st
century."] Prior to making this announcement, he held a private lunch with foreign policy journalists, including acknowledged-lefties [New York Times columnists Tom Friedman and David Brooks; Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne; Bloomberg View's Jeff Goldberg; CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria and national security analyst Peter Bergen; POLITICO Magazine editor Susan Glasser; and Atlantic contributor Peter Beinart] plus a GOP-Establishment figure [Wall Street Journal Washington bureau chief Gerald Seib]. Afterwards, [along with FNCs Brit Hume, last night, and other foreign policy experts] Senators McCain, Graham, Ayotte characterized announcement of this Afghanistan Withdrawal as 'A Triumph Of Politics Over Strategy,' claiming it is a mistake to set an arbitrary date for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, blasting this as a move that could embolden the Taliban and lead to a resurgence in violence.; Sen Graham added, 'President Obama Is Not Ending Wars, He's Losing Them.' {Also, Obama claimed 'It's time to turn the page,' with the next milepost in securing the post-2014 troop presence may lie in Europe.}
PBS documentary Claims to Show Proof of US training and arming the Syrian Opposition, which would constitute a violation of statute that, when linked to Benghazi-Gate, could constitute [per allen-west] treason recalling parallels with Reagans Iran-Contra affair of a quarter-century ago. Illustrating why abandoning Saudi Arabia has carried ongoing repercussions [beyond its having refused a seat on the UNs Security Council] is that fact that Saudis appear to be moving, at least on a declarative level, away from a position according to which Iranian ambitions are a threat to be resisted, toward an attempt to accommodate Tehran.
Triggered by the Popes visit to the region [landing in Jordan, departing from Israel], an op-ed concluded Rabbi Shmuley Right on Mideast [Pope Francis needs to show moral clarity and stand with Israel against those who seek to destroy her] but Wrong on Pius XII; Shmuleys argument is based on false premises, as he has fallen prey to an old Soviet disinformation campaign by insinuating that Pius XII was Hitlers Pope whereas, actually, Pope Pius XII is precisely the moral leader Pope Francis should look to emulate. BTW, in case anyone in America wonders of Israel is also plagued by Libs, note that HAARETZ defended Islamic extremists [editorial: Don't ban the Islamic Movement], arguing Anti-incitement is rarely invoked against Jewish racists, but the long arm of the law seems to reach Arabs more easily] after having reported that Netanyahu wants to outlaw the northern branch of the Islamic Movement.
Coupled with awareness of the Turco-Iranian Friendship [as a Turkish Court Issued Arrest Warrants to Israeli Ex-Generals over 2010 Gaza Flotilla Raid, notwithstanding the fact that BHO pressured BB to settle the conflict and apologize prior to his departure from Ben Gurion Airport], it is undeniable that BHOs sell-out on Iran is buring any prior American regional impact; meanwhile, Iran hanged 16 in reprisal for Pakistan border killings, as Next Iran nuke talks are set for June 16-20 in Vienna while Ayatollah Khamenei said Those Who Want to Promote Negotiations Are Guilty of Treason and IAEA Access to Iran Nuclear Site Remained Elusive. {Also note that it is possible that Evangelical Support for Israel may end, as anti-Zionist preachers try to motivate youth to reject assumptions of their elders.}
Ya think BHO will cite this UN-Report regarding USAs enemy, Iran?:
79. There has been an apparent increase in the degree of seriousness of human rights violations in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Frequent and disconcerting reports concerning punitive State action against various members of civil society, reports about actions that undermine the full enjoyment of human rights by women, religious and ethnic minorities; and alarming reports of retributive State action against individuals suspected of communicating with the Special Procedure raises serious concern about the Governments resolve to promote respect for human rights in the country.
80. The Special Rapporteur also continues to be alarmed by the rate of executions in the country, especially for crimes that do not meet serious crimes standards, and especially in the face of allegations of widespread and ongoing torture for the purposes of soliciting confessions from the accused. The Governments ability to meaningfully address matters raised by a number of human rights instruments and the Human Rights Council is constrained by a lack of meaningful cooperation, by its intransigent position on the existence of human rights violations in the country, and by de jure and de facto practices that undermine its international and national human rights obligations.
81. The Special Rapporteur, therefore, proposes that the Iranian Government undertake the following actions in order to address the preponderance of issues raised in this and previous reports communicated by the expert:
(a) Extend its full cooperation to the country mandate holder by engaging in a substantive and constructive dialogue and facilitating a visit to the country. (b) Immediately investigate allegations of reprisals against individuals that cooperate with the international human rights instruments and organizations and to take measures to ensure adequate protection from intimidation or reprisals for individuals and members of groups who seek to cooperate or have cooperated with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights. (c) Desist from actions designed to injure or intimidate those who work to identify human rights violations, promote redress, and those that may cooperate with international human rights mechanisms. (d) Consider the immediate and unconditional release civil society actors and human rights defenders prosecuted for protected activities; including journalists, netizens, lawyers and student, cultural, environmental, and political activists that work to promote civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights currently detained for activities protected by national and international law. (e) Expedite its voluntary commitment to establish a National Human Rights Commission, in accordance with Paris Principles. (f) Examine and address those laws that contravene its international obligation to eliminate all forms of discrimination in law and practice. These include those laws and policies that undermine gender equality and womens rights, and that discriminate against religious and ethnic minorities, and members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community in the country. (g) Consider the immediate release of prisoners of conscience such as Pastors Behnam Irani, Farshid Fathi, as well as the leaders of the Bahai community, and fully honor its commitments under Article 18 of ICCPR that guarantee the right to freedom thought, conscience and religion, which was accepted by Iran without reservation. (h) Investigate all allegations of torture and address impunity and end the culture of investigation through confession reflected by the breadth of reports communicated to the Special Rapporteur. (i) Consider a moratorium on capital punishment until the efficacy of judicial safeguards can be meaningfully demonstrated, and stay the executions of individuals who have alleged violations of their due process rights. (j) Improve transparency on the impact of sanctions and to report on measures it has taken to protect its inhabitants from potential and actual negative impact of such sanctions. (k) The Special Rapporteur also calls on the United Nations system and on sanctions-imposing countries to monitor the impact of sanctions and to take all appropriate steps to ensure that measures, such as humanitarian exemptions are effectively serving their intended purpose to prevent the potentially harmful impacts of general economic sanctions on human rights.
BHOs speech will probably ignore the fact that VIETNAM and CHINA TRADED ACCUSATIONS AFTER VIETNAMESE FISHING BOAT SINKS, that Three Chinese Nuclear Missile Submarines are in South China Sea, or even the observation by South Korea that China Agrees that North Korean Nuclear Activity Poses 'Serious Threat.' [It will be understandable if he ignores the fact that Former French President Sarkzy Embroiled in New Corruption Scandal; the leader of France's conservative opposition UMP party, Jean- Franois Cop, resigned after police raided his offices in an investigation over a massive fraud scandal involving former President Nicolas Sarkzy.]
Whenever Im asked why Ive been laboring so intensely regarding the intuitive desire to enact a mandate that Holocaust Education permeate the schooling curriculum, I note how NOT to do this, illustrated by a recent effort to turn Holocaust denial into homework, when eighth-graders at five middle schools in the Rialto Unified School District east of Los Angeles were asked to compose an essay on whether or not they believe the Holocaust was "an actual event in history, or merely a political scheme." As part of the homework, educators gave students resources including a website that denies the Holocaust. Critical thinking is an essential skill for children to develop. But when educators encourage students to question the historical fact of the Holocaust, they are essentially fomenting a subtle form of anti-Semitism.
The media also require monitoring in this regard, noting that MSNBC's Tour Neblett and Ronan Farrow, who are under fire for anti-Semitic Holocaust Remarks disseminated via Twitter; these MSNBC anchors [and there was no corporate reaction issued yesterday] generally channel leftist/lib/Dem talking-points, so it was notable that The Twitter account of Tour, co-anchor of MSNBC's "The Cycle," had been uncharacteristically quiet since Friday when Tour appeared to suggest that the "power of whiteness" was responsible for a Jewish family surviving a concentration camp and/or "making it work" afterwards. Yesterday, to staunch the bleeding, one supposes, Tour wrote Hey, sorry for using Holocaust survivors as an example of the power of whiteness, but he failed to explain what had motivated him to suggest Jews leverage the history of the Shoah unjustly.
Every effort is being expended to counter nefarious conduct of those who oppose the mandate, such as lobbyist Hank Butler [representing the PA Jewish Coalition of non- profits], who ambushed the local Federation Board meeting [a fortnight go] and coerced it to retreat from its support for our efforts [by retreading assertions that had already been disproven].
He will probably invoke Foreign Affairs in an effort to distract the public from expressing Outrage Over the outing of a CIA-official [noting even that CNN's Acosta criticized White House's 'really big screw-up'], concern over NSA mass recording of Afghan telephone calls, or apprehension Greenwald will publish a list of Americans on whom the NSA spied. [He will probably ignore the fact that the Bilderberg Membership List Released was released and, assuedly, he will dismiss CHINAS ACCUSATION THAT THE US LACKS 'MORAL INTEGRITY' BASED ON SNOWDEN DATA.] And there will be nary a peep about the Monroe Doctrine, which he scrapped long before he embraced Venezuelas Hugo Rafael Chvez Fras. {Regarding Benghazi-Gate, Politico claims Dem-warrior, Rep. Elijah Cummings, has earned a reputation for besting Issa on a number of Obama controversies; buried in this encomium is a patter that contains numerous subsequently-documented faults. [He released an oft-cited report, debunking the GOP claim that the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal was directed by the White House. (AG-Holder is trying to limit release of documents that are said to disprove his view.) On the IRS controversy over the agencys targeting of conservative groups, Cummings released a full transcript of interviews with a self-described Republican and IRS manager who said it was the IRS not the Obama administration that flagged tea party groups for extra scrutiny. (This assertions was blown-out by the Lerner-memos linking her efforts with the DoJ.)].}
RON FOURNIER [an Establishment-GOP leader of the National Journal] probed BHOs Intellectual Dishonesty in dramatic terms [for him], claiming The candidate of unbridled optimism in 2008 is now cynical, bowed, and nearly beatena leader whose excuse for failure amounts to, I can't lead because Republicans won't let me.]. Illustrating how very faulty is his claim of impotencewhen he actually continues to act imperiallyis how he is manifesting reverse-racism; note that BHO trashed the basis of the Civil Rights Movement [one America, etc.] when quietly suggesting willingness to create a two- tier race-based legal system in Hawaii [affecting taxes, spending and law enforcement]. {Also noted is Obamas Executive Order that Imposes Martial Law On United States.}
Police Interviewed Santa Barbara Killer [22-year-old Elliott Rodger] last month, at the request of his parents, who had viewed their son's disturbing YouTube videos, but they never saw them before the attack at UC Santa Barbara. The MOMS DEMAND FOUNDER was UPSET that a CNN ANCHOR WOULDN'T POLITICIZE SANTA BARBARA ATTACKS but, curiously, Michael Moore countered the gun- control reaction by saying, Guns Dont Kill People, Americans Kill People, while Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow Attacked WaPo Film Critic Ann Hornaday, who had accused Hollywood films such as Rogens Neighbors of being partly responsible for the killing spree in Santa Barbara last weekend. Another Lib, Sally Kohn, claimed that the Santa Barbara shooter was an anti-woman terrorist, based on the FBIs definition of terrorism [the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives]; in addition to noting that the VIRGIN KILLER WAS A MADMAN, NOT A MISOGYNIST, she fails to articulate the precise governmental policy that he would want to have altered. Meanwhile, as Rahm now Wants to Videotape All Chicago Gun Purchases, another crime was prevented in a textbook store Fort Dodge, Iowa, where an alleged Robber Demanded Money, but an Armed Female Employee Did Not Comply. {Note also that, in contrast to UC Santa Barbara, the media failed to cover the Memorial Day youth-driven mayhem at Myrtle Beach [three murders, five shootings, and seven injuries in Myrtle Beach] and Ft. Lauderdale [a near-riot].}
The Dems/Libs continue to promote COMMON CORE, evidenced by the presence of CHANGE AGENTS OPERATING IN TEXAS where it has otherwise not been implemented. Also, Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg's $100M for Newarks failing public schools went nowhere, because [mirroring the fact that only 3% of BHOs Stimulus-$ was spent on infrastructure] these monies were spent on labor contracts and consulting fees, yielding no improvement in student performance. And it is felt to be 'Unacceptable!' by Michelle Obama that the GOP is Trying To Curb Her Unpopular School Lunch Program.
As an 'unprecedented' number of young illegals are pouring over the border and Detained Immigrants are Often Used as Cheap Labor, BHOs administrative discretion regarding open-borders continues unabated [BHO May Limit Deportations for Suspected Illegals arrested for "nonviolent" crimes, but this review was delayed because the White House continues to see a window of possibility for immigration reform in Congressbefore August, and BHO proposed blocking Immigration Enforcement In Courthouses]. Meanwhile, while BHO Touted Initiatives to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning opportunities, his desire for massive Amnesty legalization for STEM Workers and more guest-worker visas may set-up young Americans (especially those from low- income backgrounds) for failure. Yet, the GOP-Establishment continues to predict (c/o Fourniers National Journal, for example) Immigration Reform could pass in 14 if only the GOP BUILDS THE RIGHT REPUBLICAN PLATFORM; as a GOP REP DODGED LAURA INGRAHAM ON ENLIST ACT, only DAYS FROM his PRIMARY, ERIC CANTOR POSED AS An ANTI-AMNESTY WARRIOR. {Also, note that BHOs efforts are enhanced by an Anchor with attitude, Univisions Jorge Ramos.}
Krauthammer correctly predicted that the Chances of Dems Learning Lesson from the VA Scandal Are 'Zero'; note that Obama Vowed to 'Keep the Faith' With War Veterans on Memorial Day, Biden said We're Behind on 'Sacred Obligation' to Vets, and Nancy Pelosi Can't Say for Sure if the VA Deaths Are a 'Scandal.' Meanwhile, as Sen. Casey Introduced Bill to Address VA Backlog and Dem Pat Caddell exclaimed We Have People in the VA Getting Bonuses to Kill Veterans and Obama DOESNT Care, it was discovered that a CA Vet with Cancer was Stuck on VA Waiting List for 8 Months with 7 More to Go. Clearly, The VA Scandal's Window into the Future of Obamacare is disturbing, but that hasnt stopped Pelosi from claiming Dems are Neither Running On or from Obamacare in Midterms; meanwhile, 13 DEM-CANDIDATES WON'T EMBRACE OBAMACARE. As the implementation process continues, Obamacare is To Fine Companies That Give Workers Money To Buy Their Own Health Insurance Plans, hospitals are scaling-back charity-care as the health law kicks-in, and the GREENSBURG DIOCESE FILED OBAMACARE LAWSUIT. {Note also that Sen. Toomey reported that the Pa. VA is being investigated.}
Electoral evidence of a vibrant TEA Party Movement [despite ANOTHER 'FAKE' TEA PARTY GROUP SPRINGING-UP IN TEXAS BEFORE ELECTION] emerged as Ted Cruz and the Tea Party Dominated Texas Republican Primary Politics; the clear winner in the 2014 Republican Primary and runoff election is the grassroots effort spawned by the Tea Party, no matter what candidates win, for every candidate on the ballot has shaped his/her campaign around illustrating support for the Tea Party principles of limited government, reducing taxes and fiscal responsibility. Enhancing this message was the fact that, after the 'Tea party' was poised for big wins in Texas runoffs, it was noted (this-a.m., c/o Senate Conservatives) that Conservative former U.S. Attorney John Ratcliffe (R-TX) defeated incumbent Congressman Ralph Hall (R-TX) yesterday in the Republican run-off election for the 4th Congressional District in Texas. Finally, THE TEA PARTY also cruised in the runoff for lieutenant governor ["Texas state Sen. Dan Patrick, a tea party favorite, defeated incumbent GOP Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in Tuesday's primary runoff - the second straight election cycle in which Dewhurst has been upset in a runoff. ... The March 4 primary spelled trouble for Dewhurst, who as an incumbent came in second in the primary with 28 percent of the vote, to Patrick's 41 percent. Dewhurst was seeking renomination as lieutenant governor just two years after falling short in a runoff for an open Senate seat against now-Sen. Ted Cruz. As in the 2012 Senate election, Dewhurst faced a runoff against a candidate running to his right. Since then, Dewhurst has continually had to defend his conservative credentials and dismiss the charge that he is too moderate."] {Also noted is the fact that a Dem LaRouche candidate ran on Obama impeachment.}
It is into this environment that Misssissippis COCHRAN VOWS TO COMPLETE 42 YEARS IN SENATE [opposed by Chris McDaniel], despite revelations that Thad Cochran's longtime executive assistant was Listed as Part of 'Spouse Group' on a Taxpayer-Funded Trip in 2004 to South America; she was photographed participating in recreational events for senators' spouses. In Iowa, conservative state senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) is running against a liberal Republican [Mark Jacobs] who supports Common Core, raising the debt limit, and cap-and-trade legislation; she wants to finish first in the Republican primary election with 35% or more so she can secure the nomination without a run-off [and the most recent poll has her at 34% so she's very close to victory]. {Among the Dems touted for Senate is Michelle Nunn, whose salary @ Hands On Atlanta doubled to $250,000 while nearly 100 Georgians lost their jobs.}
These observations segue into a brief update of POTUS-16 politics; whereas the establishment-types are treading water [Top Jeb Bush Adviser: Common Core Embrace Won't Hurt Him in GOP Primary and Chris Christie's lawyer problem and even the NATIONAL JOURNAL acknowledges the fact that 'SARAH PALIN IS RIGHT' ABOUT MEDIA'S DOUBLE STANDARD]. Also, Ted Cruz Stands with Israel in the Holy Land [after his Knesset speech]; he is making it clear that he and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) have very different policies on Israel. [He is traveling to Israel and Ukraine this week and has scheduled meetings with senior Israeli government officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein. He has scheduled meetings with Jewish and Catholic leaders in Ukraine.
