Before their first and only debate in Florida's U.S. Senate race, Connie and Bill Nelson shook hands Wednesday night. And then it got ugly. U.S. Rep. Mack, the Republican challenger from Fort Myers, ripped Democratic Sen. Nelson with the same accusations repeatedly – his voting for tax hikes 150 times, his sticking cows on family land to get out of paying property taxes, his gutting of Medicare to pay for Obamacare Trouble was, Nelson said, none of it was true.

TMZ says it has obtained an email from CNN’s Managing Editor, Mark Whitaker, to CNN personnel. The email sets out talking points in response to criticism of Candy Crowley’s performance as a debate moderator last night. It is pretty funny; this is the complete email, according to TMZ: Let’s start with a big round of applause for Candy Crowley for a superb job under the most difficult circumstances imaginable. She and her team had to select and sequence questions in a matter of hours, and then she had to deal with the tricky format, the nervous questioners,

You might think that with all the recent focus on media bias in debate moderation, Candy Crowley would have minded her p's and q's in last night's presidential debate.(Snip) Enter Crowley's Passion. She snuck into the ring, without Obama even tagging her, and hit Romney from behind with a chair while the ref, Crowley's Brain, was looking the other way. And, as was established later, she was wrong. It was, as Thomas Sowell wrote recently, a display of what Obama himself is guilty of: confident ignorance. Also striking, however,

Is It Harmful to Release Gang Maps?

Chicago police commissioner Garry McCarthy drew heavy criticism this summer when crime statistics showed, in mid-June, that homicides were up 38 percent over the previous year. When the rise in murders first became noticeable, back in March, McCarthy announced the city would conduct a so-called "gang audit" to help police get a handle on the problem. The audit found that Chicago now has some 625 gang factions — up from 500 about a decade ago, according to Chicago magazine. In the aftermath of the audit WBEZ took steps to compile an interactive map of gang territory throughout the city.

Two of the largest health care labor unions are engaged in racketeering and endangering the lives of elderly residents, according to a federal lawsuit filed by a chain of nursing homes in New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Instead of bargaining, the Fort Lee-based Care One and HealthBridge companies say that two local affiliates of the Service Employees International Union are resorting to criminal activities, defamation and sabotage to get contracts approved and workers organized. The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages,

Obama's 'war on women'
canard is not fooling women

Washington Examiner, by Timothy P. Carney Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 10/18/2012 12:09:34 AM Post Reply

When President Obama speaks about women's issues, it's a safe bet he's telling tall tales. When Democrats talk of a "war on women," they are usually waging a war on facts. And women, it seems, aren't fooled. (Snip) But wielding an Obamacare provision on "women's preventive care," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius imposed a new rule requiring almost all employers to cover every penny of contraception, sterilization and morning-after pills. That means if you offer health insurance that doesn't cover sterilization, you're breaking the law. If you offer health insurance that covers all contraception, but requires a $5-a-month

Obama Debate Coach Named Mao

Everybody realizes at this point that one of President Barack Obama’s debate coaches is 2004 losing presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-MA). But it’s been largely overlooked that another one of his debate coaches is Anita Dunn. You may remember Anita Dunn. She’s the former White House staffer who said this to a group of high schoolers in June 2009: The third lesson and tip actually come from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Zedong and Mother Teresa -- not often coupled with each together, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple

A 21-year-old Bangladeshi man, who the FBI said came to the United States on a student visa this year to conduct a terrorist attack, was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly attempted to detonate what he believed was a 1,000-pound car bomb outside the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Quazi Mohammad Reswanul Ahsan Nafis, of Queens, was arrested by members of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force after he assembled what he thought was the bomb inside a van in a New York City warehouse, parked it next to the Federal Reserve and tried to detonate it with a cellphone

‘The View’ Co-Hosts Freak

The View has a long reputation for its liberal slant, but when one of its own calls out the liberal bias among celebrities, hysteria ensues. Such was the case on Wednesday when the lone conservative Elizabeth Hasselbeck spoke out against the overwhelming liberal presence that dominates Hollywood. [See video below break. MP3 audio here.]The segment initially focused on whether or not celebrities should be publicly endorsing candidates, which for the most part was a fairly tame discussion. Well, it was, until Hasslbeck responded to comments made by Whoopi Goldberg, who said:

President Obama, Mitt Romney, and their surrogates were back on the road today, fanning out across battleground states as the campaigns hustled to magnify and manage perceptions about Tuesday night's bruising debate in New York. Obama, who delivered to his base the kind of energetic and aggressive performance they had been clamoring for since Romney had the run of the candidates' first meeting, flew into Iowa for an afternoon rally before heading for the Buckeye state to speak with supporters at Ohio University in Athens. It was the president's 31st trip to Ohio since he took office.

PARIS — France’s Socialist government is proposing a slew of taxes — on art, on businesses, on the rich — that are drawing criticism for stifling entrepreneurship and scaring off the wealthy. “Unfortunately, I think the politics we are leading in France will turn out to be catastrophic for the economy, which is already in bad shape,” said French economist Marc Touati, author of “When the Eurozone Explodes.” “This is a serious mistake, something you learn in [Economy 101] — it will aggravate the recession and therefore shrink the tax base.” Led by President Francois Hollande, the French government

A group of farmers who had their land seized in Zimbabwe are launching a campaign today to protest against a proposed lifting of sanctions against Robert Mugabe’s regime by the European Union. The 11 farmers and their families have won successive court cases over the takeover including one through the legal channels of the World Bank and another presided over by an officially sanctioned judge in Harare. They were awarded compensations totalling £ 17.5 million, but no money has been forthcoming for over three years and now there is fear that the Zimbabwe authorities will have no incentive left to

Despite numerous public events including a speech at the United Nations and two presidential debates, President Obama still hasn’t publicly and plainly acknowledged to Americans that terrorists killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Libya on Sept. 11. (Snip) White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Wednesday that the president believed it was a terrorist attack even though, at the time, intelligence officials were telling him that the attack appeared to stem from protests of the video. He also said that whether it was a spontaneous protest or an organized attack, it should be considered a

Government: Violent crimes

WASHINGTON- Violent crimes unexpectedly jumped 18 percent last year, the first rise in nearly 20 years, and property crimes rose for first time in a decade. But academic experts said the new government data fall short of signaling a reversal of the long decline in crime. The U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics reported Wednesday that the increase in the number of violent crimes was the result of an upward swing in simple assaults, which rose 22 percent, from 4 million in 2010 to 5 million last year. The incidence of rape, sexual assault and robbery remained largely unchanged,

President Obama is prepared to veto legislation to block year-end tax hikes and spending cuts, collectively known as the “fiscal cliff,” unless Republicans bow to his demand to raise tax rates for the wealthy, administration officials said. Freed from the political and economic constraints that have tied his hands in the past, Obama is ready to play hardball with Republicans, who have so far successfully resisted a deal to tame the debt that includes higher taxes, Obama’s allies say. In the days after the November election, the tables will be turned: Taxes

London - It seems ironic today that when David Ben-Gurion read out Israel’s Declaration of Independence in May 1948, the text mentioned the United Nations seven times. In effect, the organization had given Israel its international birth certificate half a year earlier, when it passed Resolution 181, which declared the partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. (Snip) When Hamas won Palestinian parliamentary elections in January 2006, the US and the EU — the Quartet’s major funders — said they would not work with the organization, which both classify as a terrorist group. Annan believes this was a mistake

The Hidden Price of Food from China

In recent years, China has become a major food supplier to Europe. But the low-cost goods are grown in an environment rife with pesticides and antibiotics, disproportionately cited for contamination and subject to an inspection regime full of holes. A recent norovirus outbreak in Germany has only heightened worries. Qufu, the city in China's southwestern Shandong Province where Confucius was born, isn't exactly an attractive place. (Snip) China, which already sews together our clothes, assembles our smartphones and makes our children's toys, is now becoming an important food supplier for Germany.

The last Marquette University poll of Wisconsin was conducted the last week of September, prior to the first presidential debate. It found Obama with a comfortable 11-point lead among likely voters, 53-42. Among the broader universe of registered voters, Obama enjoyed a 14-point lead over Romney, 54-40. (Snip) In the University's latest poll of Wisconsin, released this afternoon, Obama's comfortable lead has been wiped out. His headline support dropped four points and Romney's support surged upward six points. The race is essentially tied, with Obama getting support from 49% of likely voters to Romney's 48%.

What are the odds for getting the last word in a debate with Barack Obama? If the moderator is Obama-sycophant Candy Crowley, the odds are 8 to 3 against you. That’s what happened to Mitt Romney in the second presidential debate. Of the eleven questions Crowley allowed to be asked, eight times Obama got the last word, while Crowley deigned to give Romney only three. Not only did Obama receive three more minutes to speak, he was also given the gift of ending the discussion. (Snip) The only reason the number favors Obama 8 to 3 and not 9 to

Energy Policy: Leases and production are down on federal lands, the EPA is waging war on coal, and as for building enough pipelines to encircle the earth, we'd settle for just one from Canada to the Gulf. When President Obama, in responding Tuesday to Mitt Romney's chiding about failing to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, claimed that his administration has added enough new oil and gas pipelines to "encircle the Earth and then some," we felt a perfect response from Romney would have been, "You didn't build that." In fact, energy companies have built some 55,000 miles of pipeline

President Obama, his family and his campaign staff will watch the election returns in his hometown of Chicago Nov. 6, and the election watch gathering is expected to be held in the lakefront convention center, McCormick Place, according to people familiar with the campaign’s planning. The formal arrangements with the convention center have not been inked. This is the lakefront site where Chicago hosted the NATO summit earlier this year and it is a quick commute to the president’s home in Hyde Park/Kenwood on Chicago’s South Side.

Insurgent Bombs Spread Way

The signature insurgent weapon of Iraq and Afghanistan is proving more durable than either war. Every month, outside either the U.S. former warzone or its remaining active one, militia groups construct approximately 600 cheap, homemade bombs to hide in ditches, roadsides, culverts and vehicles — nearly twice as many as they did two years ago. (Snip) That’s a new high. According to a JIEEDO report from 2010 (.pdf), insurgents outside Iraq and Afghanistan rarely constructed more than 300 bombs per month between September 2008 and September 2010. More often, the monthly bomb total hovered around 250. The improvised explosive device

Asked if she wants to stand for the presidency, Ms Clinton told the BBC: "I honestly don't know… I certainly feel a strong call for public service."

Earlier this year, President Obama became the first president in American history to openly advocate for homosexual “marriage,” explicitly reversing his position from four years ago, when, at a forum in Saddleback Church in California, he stated his support for traditional marriage, saying that it was the biblical view he held. I, along with many others in the black community, was very disturbed. I wish I could say I was shocked, but I never believed his word at Saddleback Church. I had followed his history and record.
