Posted By: KarenJ1- 10/1/2012 10:08:00 AM Post Reply

It’s been more than 3 months since Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. took a leave of absence from Congress to deal with depression and related physical ailments. Now, with the election 5 weeks away, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Congressman may never return to his seat, even if he wins re-election, as he is expected to with ease. Associated Press: His home in Washington is for sale. His wife says he’ll come back to work only when a doctor approves. He vowed to return to the campaign by Labor Day, and then didn’t. Election Day is five weeks

Biden Misstates Number of Fallen
Heroes in Iraq and Afghanistan

Weekly Standard, by Daniel Halper Original Article

Yesterday, speaking at a campaign event in Florida, Vice President Joe Biden said, "I ask every day, what's the exact number of the fallen angels -- not generally, not an estimate, the exact number -- because for every one of those women or men, it has transformed a family, a family we owe. And thus far, as of today, there are 6,437 fallen heroes, 49,871 visibly wounded, and tens of thousands of invisible wounds -- posttraumatic stress, traumatic brain injury -- thousands, thousands, critically wounded, who will need extensive care the rest of their lives." But Biden understated the number

KABUL, Afghanistan- A suicide bomber driving a motorcycle packed with explosives rammed his bike into a patrol of Afghan and international forces on Monday morning in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 14 people, including three NATO service members and their translator, officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the blast, which came a day after the U.S. death toll in the war in Afghanistan reached 2,000 troops

Shots were allegedly fired on Saturday night outside the taping of the BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta following a shoving match that broke out backstage between rappers Young Jeezy and Rick Ross. According to TMZ sources, the two performers exchanged heated words during the ceremony and started pushing each other before their bodyguards and BET security intervened and separated the two men. But that was apparently not the end of the incident. According to eyewitnesses, soon afterwards a member of Ross's entourage went to the parking lot

Department of Agriculture personnel in the Obama administration have met with Mexican Government officials dozens of times since the president took office to promote nutrition assistance programs — notably food stamps — among Mexican Americans, Mexican nationals and migrant communities in America. Writing in response to Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions’ July request for information about the USDA’s little known partnership with the Mexican government to educate citizen and noncitizen immigrants from Mexico about the availability of food stamps and other nutrition assistance programs, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack defended the partnership

Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, says he's "mad as hell" about the increasing number of insider attacks, in which Afghan soldiers and police murder the Americans who are trying to train them. "You know, we're willing to sacrifice a lot for this campaign. But we're not willing to be murdered for it," Gen. Allen told CBS' "60 Minutes" in a segment that aired on Sunday. Gen. Allen told CBS Correspondent Lara Logan that the insider attacks will continue: "The enemy recognizes this is a vulnerability. You know, in Iraq, the signature weapon system that we

For those who want the short answer to the question in this post's title, the answer is almost definitely "no." But in a New York Times op-ed piece in mid-September, former Obama "car czar" Steven Rattner effectively said that the so-called "fact-check" site known as PolitiFact should make amends to former Alaska Governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. In December 2009, PolitiFact's Angie Drobnic Holan outrageously characterized the following statement made by Palin in an August 2009 Facebook post as its "Lie of the Year" (bold is mine): The Democrats promise that a government health

In an essay published on page B1 of today’s New York Times, columnist David Carr seeks to contradict an open letter which MRC president Brent Bozell and other leading conservatives signed which calls out the media for their favoritism toward President Barack Obama. He appears to have a few problems making an intellectually coherent argument, however. According to Carr, those who see liberal bias in the media (and decades of surveys show it is not just those on the right) ought not to complain because conservatives have a handful

Gov. Jerry Brown OKs legal

California's Democrat Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law legislation that would give legal state driver licenses to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant youths. The bill, AB 2189, obviously affects only undocumented young people in the nation's most populous state. But it could also play an important role in the upcoming presidential debate Wednesday evening in Denver. Both candidates are preparing today and tomorrow for their first of three rhetorical rendezvous. The agreed-upon topic that night just happens to be domestic policy.

I think we’re at the most dangerous time in our political history in terms of the balance of power in the role that the media plays in whether or not we maintain a free democracy or not. You know, when I first started in politics – and for a long time before that – everyone on both sides, Democrats and Republicans, despised the press commonly, because they were SOBs to everybody. Which is exactly what they should be. They were unrelenting. Whatever the biases were, they were essentially equal-opportunity people. That changed in 1980.

They don’t cost anything to print and you can’t hold them in your hands. So readers may well feel aggrieved that they are paying far more for ebooks than for many hardback versions of their favourite titles. A survey of bestselling fiction and non-fiction sold by online retailer Amazon has found that in more than a third of cases ebooks are priced higher than the same books in hardcover. Experts and consumers are outraged, saying that, if anything, electronic versions should be far cheaper because they cost nothing to print, store or transport. The findings are also all

Washington- Mitt Romney has had a bad couple of weeks, really a bad month since the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. The media spotlight has relentlessly focused on him. But there is an incumbent in the race, too, and an incumbent with a record that also reveals important disappointments, errors and failures. Over the next month, President Barack Obama will stand on stage beside Romney and submit to press questioning before millions of TV viewers. Here are 10 questions I'd like to hear him answer: 1) More than 50 U.S. and coalition soldiers have been killed so far

LAS VEGAS _ President Obama jumped into the pre-debate expectations game on Sunday evening, calling himself a ho-hum debater and showering praise on his opponent’s skills. “I know folks are speculating already on who’s going to have the best zingers,” Obama told a crowd gathered at a high school in Las Vegas. “Who is going to put more points on the board.” When the crowd answered, “You are!” Obama corrected them. “No, no. Gov. Romney, he’s good debater. I’m just OK,” he said. The folks at Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas apparently did not

Hooray! The Chicago teachers strike is over, and Chicago schools are back in session. The teachers are back to teaching the proverbial "3 Rs," and the students are back trying to learn them. But is the teaching of the traditional 3 Rs the only thing going on at CPS (Chicago Public Schools)? For more than 30 years, I was an educational sales representative selling textbooks and workbooks to CPS. My educational sales experiences included me working with teachers and school administrators -- people who, for the most part, were, and are, overwhelmingly liberal

Let's see. Who has the bigger problem with Libya and the Middle East? Is it the guy who's in charge with a foreign policy in disarray who has described the first murder of a U.S. ambassador in 33 years a "bump in the road"? Or his presidential campaign challenger Mitt Romney? If we're to believe Mike Allen, Jim Vandehei, and Politico, it's Romney, where "Romney advisers at odds over Libya" was the only thing visible on my computer screen when I went to the web site's home page at 10 p.m. ET.

WASHINGTON — Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie boldly guaranteed yesterday that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney will win Wednesday’s first debate — while every other official from both campaigns tried to lower expectations. The tough-talking governor declared that Romney, who is trailing in national and swing-state polls, will turn the race “upside down” after the showdown in Denver. “I think what we need is a big and bold performance Wednesday night, and that’s what he’s going to give us,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.”

The media is spending a vast amount of time making the case that President Obama has an insurmountable lead. In fact, the media seems to be making the case that Mitt Romney should simply throw in the towel. But if the Obama campaign’s emails are any indicator, this race is far from over. Today – a Sunday – the Obama campaign sent no less than three fundraising emails, two from the President, and one from the First Lady. The President led off with a desperation email titled “I want to win”: Benjamin -- I can't

NEW YORK -- Economists think Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would be better for the economy than President Obama. But they're not very enthusiastic about either of them. Nine of 17 top economists surveyed by CNNMoney picked Romney when asked who's election would help the economy grow more. Only three picked Obama. But the remaining five made no pick, with several suggesting neither would provide much of a lift to the sagging economy. "Obama doesn't really understand business and Romney doesn't really understand how to govern.

PLANO, Texas -Twenty years from the day he shook up the 1992 presidential race with warnings of economic doom, Ross Perot feels vindicated -- though he's not happy about it. The national debt -- $4 trillion and rising when he sounded the fiscal alarm by challenging President George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton -- stands at $16 trillion. The annual deficit -- a record $290 billion then -- has topped $1 trillion four years running.(Snip) So when the country may be in even greater need of another Ross Perot, the 82-year-old Texas billionaire is re-emerging, ever so slightly,

NEW ORLEANS–On the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, coordinated Jihad attacks by Radical Islamists led to the murder of Americans. The United States government was totally unprepared for these acts of war. First our government claimed that an anti-Muslim film-maker was falsely accused of sparking spontaneous riots among radical Islamists who have been outraged for 1,400 years. Then the film-maker was arrested for jeopardizing President Obama's reelection chances when Mr. Obama's story of the events in the Middle East unraveled.

George Soros is airdropping bushels of cash to the Obama campaign because the preeminent funder of the Left is reportedly “panicked” that Mitt Romney could win in November and halt America’s ongoing slide into socialist chaos and civil unrest. Soros’s alarm at the prospect of a Romney victory may also have led him to squelch a report in the Soros-funded Mother Jones magazine that revealed his desperate state of mind. “Is there possibly some panic among the liberal elite that the media are not telling us about?

The Univision report undermines the integrity of the recently released DOJ inspector general report on Operation Fast and Furious, already heavily criticized as an attempt to whitewash criminal activity within the Obama administration.
