U.S. AG’s Brother
Appears To Employ
Illegal Immigrants

Carolina Journal (Raleigh, NC), by Don Carrington Original Article

Posted By: rivlax- 10/3/2012 8:11:17 AM Post Reply

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s brother, William Holder, apparently employs illegal foreign workers at one or more of the four McDonald’s restaurants he and his wife Deborah purchased last year in Wake County, a Carolina Journal investigation has found. A CJ reporter made approximately 30 visits in September to observe and talk with workers at the restaurants, at least one of which has been visited by the attorney general.

Al-Qaeda's grip on northern
Mali has to be broken

Telegraph [UK], by David Blair Original Article

Posted By: Attercliffe- 10/3/2012 7:56:44 AM Post Reply

I wrote earlier this week that a Somalia-style intervention will have to be undertaken sooner or later in order to break al-Qaeda’s grip on northern Mali. Sure enough, yesterday’s Washington Post reported that American officials are considering this option, with the added possibility that they could choose to extend the drone war to the Sahara. The option of deploying US or Western combat troops is not even up for discussion. The only realistic possibility for dealing with Mali is to apply the Somalia model, namely that African forces would do the fighting and the West would provide funding, logistics and

Did the White House order a cover-up
over the murder of Libya's US Ambassador?

Telegraph (UK), by Con Coughlin Original Article

Immediately after the murder of Chris Stevens, America's Ambassador to Libya, I suggested that the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11 could have profound consequences for President Barack Obama, particulary if he failed to take appropriate action against the murderers – the most likely candidates being members of al-Qaeda's new terror franchise in Mali.But with the US presidential contest entering its critical final phase, the Obama administration deftly avoided getting into any controversy over the murder of Mr Stevens and three other members of the consulate staff

Obama, supporters lying to us

A great lesson from mother was "a lie has short legs" and in addition you had better have a great memory to lie. It seems that there is no such "mother" advising the president and his staff of habitual liars. (Snip)The truth of the matter is that Obama is a progressive- or, more clearly, a socialist-leaning individual. In earlier video clips of him speaking at a university, I believe, he clearly stated that he believed in redistribution (wealth) and mentioned it a second time. That line of thinking, of course, comes from no other than Karl Marx, who stated...

Ask the tough questions, Mitt

As both campaigns try their darndest to lower expectations in advance of Wednesday night’s first presidential debate, and the media sound a dire warning that the entire future of Mitt Romney’s campaign will rise and fall on this one performance, it’s worthwhile to pause on an obvious (if rarely mentioned) point: This debate should be a cakewalk for Romney. Finally, after a year that has seen President Obama’s supporters in the media whitewash his record and, for the most part, neglect to ask him tough questions about his many failed promises, Romney will get the chance

What Romney Must Do

Tonight, President Obama and Mitt Romney go "mano a mano" in the first of their three debates. Fair or not, Romney is perceived as the underdog and some have argued that Romney must make his case in the first debate or it's all over. While I believe that Romney has three bites at the apple, it is incumbent upon him to rise to the occasion against the incumbent. So what must Romney do tonight and over the next several weeks to convince the American voter to unseat President Obama and elect him as the next President of the United States?

Darrell Issa Does the Work

Ever since the terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, the Obama administration has been stalling, obfuscating and outright lying in order to avoid taking responsibility for the deaths of four Americans, including our ambassador. To a considerable degree, they have gotten away with that strategy. But Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has stepped into the breach. Issa’s committee has been approached by whistle-blowers within the State Department, and the stories they tell about the department’s malfeasance are shocking. Today Issa wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,

Proposed Ban on Public Nudity
Offends Some in San Francisco

Wall Street Journal, by Geoffrey A. Fowler & Vauhini Vara Original Article

SAN FRANCISCO—San Francisco's tolerance toward tolerance is wearing thin. A city supervisor here proposed a law Tuesday that would ban nudity in most public places across the city. For years, the city has held an "equilibrium" with nudity at public events and occasionally in neighborhoods, said the supervisor, Scott Wiener, but the nudity recently "has just gotten extreme." At issue is a public plaza that regularly attracts nudists in the historically gay Castro neighborhood, prompting a debate about the limits of civil liberties in this famously tolerant city. After complaints about the naked people by some businesses and residents,

Obama’s Education in World Affairs

President Obama came into office with high hopes of transforming America’s foreign relations and he has enjoyed some real successes, notably the toppling of Muammar Qaddafi and the killing of Osama bin Laden. But there have been even more setbacks. In country after country he has not shown much progress in dealing with intractable problems. Iran creeps ever closer to acquiring nuclear weapons, while Benjamin Netanyahu warns that the mullahs could pass the point of no return as early as next spring. Israel and the Palestinians are as far apart as ever on a peace deal; Obama’s heavy-handed pressure

Environmental Protection Agency senior executives used secret email addresses to skirt freedom of information laws, a lawsuit by a free-market think tank alleges. The Competitive Enterprise Institute filed a lawsuit against the EPA last week claiming senior executives at the agency used secret email accounts to conduct public business, shielding their communications from the Freedom of Information Act. The suit cites an internal EPA memo, first revealed in a 2008 Government Accountability Office, which describes secondary email accounts known only to a “few EPA staff members, usually only high-level senior staff.” CEI is asking the court to compel production

The only place to watch tonight’s presidential debate is on C-SPAN. You know what everyone on every network except Fox is going to say. Comrade Chris Matthews’ leg is going to be tingling out of control. Sgt. Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow will be breathlessly reading phony stories from the Internet about dissension in the GOP ranks. On CNN, “Republicans” Alex Castellanos and David Gergen will compare Barack’s closing statement to the Gettysburg Address and the Sermon on the Mount. David Brooks will swoon as he notes the perfect crease in Obama’s trousers. All of these trust-funded parrots —

It’s hard to compete with someone who gets Nobel Prizes and Grammy Awards just for showing up at the office. In running against someone as highly praised as Barack Obama, Mitt Romney has his work cut out for him. As his supporters point out, Wednesday night’s presidential debate offers the Republican candidate a chance to present his plan for prosperity directly to the country. He needs to take it. On Sunday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie explained the importance of the debate to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “Let’s face it, George, there’s been a lot of filtering going on,”

The '07 Obama Video

So here’s Obama proudly advertising his relationship with Reverend Wright, and even imitating Wright’s divisive rhetoric on Katrina. Is anyone surprised? Essentially, every excuse Obama used to explain away his relationship with Reverend Wright during campaign 2008 was a lie. But we already knew that. We also see here that Obama doesn’t want to build more highways out in the suburbs. That’s news to most, and there’s a lot more going on in that line than racial code. Obama’s hostility to suburbs stands behind some of his most transformative, yet least well-known, policy initiatives. To this very left-leaning president,

Why unions fear this film

Union protesters demonstrated outside the premiere of the new pro-education reform movie “Won’t Back Down.” As well they should have. Just as tobacco executives should have protested at the opening of “The Insider.” And corporate polluters should have chanted taunts outside every theater showing “Erin Brockovich.” And CEOs of nuclear-power companies should have formed a human chain to block the red carpet at the premiere of “The China Syndrome.” “‘Won’t Back Down,’ get out of town,” and “Move on over, corporate takeover,” the protesters at the “Won’t Back Down” premiere intoned. If their slogans were juvenile and the instincts thuggish,

The Painful Truth About Affirmative Action

Atlantic, by Richard Sander & Stuart Taylor Jr. Original Article

Affirmative action in university admissions started in the late 1960s as a noble effort to jump-start racial integration and foster equal opportunity. But somewhere along the decades, it has lost its way. Over time, it has become a political lightning rod and one of our most divisive social policies. It has evolved into a regime of racial preferences at almost all selective schools -- preferences so strikingly large and politically unpopular that administrators work hard to conceal them. The largest, most aggressive preferences are usually reserved for upper-middle-class minorities on whom they often inflict significant academic harm,

DENVER, Colo. — Mitt Romney cheerfully meandered back past the blue divider curtain on his campaign jet last Friday carrying a large bag of beef jerky. He doled out the giant hunks of dried meat to reporters one by one, engaging in the kind of innuendo-laced banter common in the back of the plane but widely thought to be absent from the front. At one point, a journalist who received a smaller piece of jerky complained that he had "jerky envy," prompting an outburst of laughter from the candidate. The exchange raised more than a few eyebrows

The Karl Rove-backed American Crossroads super PAC and Crossroads GPS non-profit group spent more than $20 million in late September on TV and radio ads attacking President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats. And they’re not slowing down. The two groups are about to launch a week-long advertising campaign in key battleground states worth $16 million. That includes $11 million on a spot focusing on the stimulus bill and the unemployment rate. The Crossroads ad buys are part of a wave of spending from conservative groups in the second half of September that swamped liberal outfits,

Tonight, President Barack Obama and former governor Mitt Romney will step onto the stage for the first of perhaps the most consequential series of presidential debates in American history. What is at stake is only matched by the premium Americans have grown to place on the art of political debate itself. (Snip)The Republican primary season only served to ratchet up those expectations. Michele Bachmann (full disclosure: I worked for her) knocked out Tim Pawlenty. Rick Perry knocked himself out.

As of Monday’s FiveThirtyEight forecast, there were 21 states that Barack Obama was projected to have at least an 85 percent chance of winning on Nov. 6. The list includes three important states, Ohio, Wisconsin and New Hampshire, where Mr. Obama’s polling has improved by an especially clear margin since the Democratic convention. It did not include several others, however, where he is favored, but less definitively so, such as Virginia, Iowa, Nevada, Colorado and Florida. If Mr. Obama’s overall standing holds in its current position, he should have no trouble winning some of those states,

"They'll turn us all into beggars 'cause they're easier to please." That's a line from a 1980s rock song, but it's a pretty concise summary of the Obama administration's political approach: Vote for us because we'll take other people's money from them and use it to buy you stuff. Whether it's Sandra Fluke's contraceptives, Obama's "spread the wealth" response to Joe The Plumber, his 1998 plan to make welfare recipients a majority coalition or the free phone in the viral "Obamaphone" video, that's the gist of it. And it obviously works. This was the essence of Mitt Romney's worries

Pundits have ridiculed the string of fluff television, radio, and magazine appearances that Barack Obama has been making the last few months. They are wrong. He has a strategy and is executing it well. He is seeking and winning the votes of those Michelle Obama calls knuckleheads. Inside-the-Beltway journalists have decried Barack Obama's refusal to hold many press conferences. His canned speeches and reliance on the teleprompter have provided them with precious few chances to score points among their colleagues for gotcha questions.
