“Pyramid of Power” Looking for
Successor to Jesse Jackson Jr

Chicago Daily Observer, by Russ Stewart Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 10/19/2012 3:04:31 PM Post Reply

“Change We Need” is the prevailing political attitude in Chicago’s black community, and it has nothing to do with Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign slogan or 2012 re-election campaign. Getting rid of the “Tiresome Threesome” black city congressmen – the ailing Bobby Rush (D-1), first elected in 1992; the scandal-challenged Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-2), first elected in 1995; and the indolent and increasingly irrelevant Danny Davis (D-7), first elected in 1996 – has become a priority among black politicians. A congressional seat is a prized plum, nestled at the apex of the “Pyramid of Power” which typifies Chicago and Cook County

Allow me to introduce the Egyptian cleric Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, one of the most prominent Sunni Islamic scholars in the world. You may remember him from 2008, when he was refused a visa to visit Britain (Snip) This week, in a televised sermon on Qatar TV, he took the step of defining the foremost enemies of Arabs. Israel and the United States were not mentioned; instead, he said that “Russia has become the number one enemy of Islam and Muslims because it stood against the Syrian people; more than 30,000 Syrians have been killed by the weapons supplied by Russia.”

A medical doctor in the crucial swing state of Ohio is publishing a 2,000-word letter slamming President Barack Obama’s health care law as full-page ads in local newspapers ahead of the presidential election. Dr. Farid Naffah, a gastroenterologist in Warren, Ohio, wrote “The Risks and Perils of Obamacare” letter that has run both twice in the Tribune Chronicle and once in the Youngstown Vindicator in Ohio over the last week.

The Obama administration is waiving a law that requires it to deny visas and entry to non-citizens who are “likely at any time to become” a government dependent – and is ignoring requests for information regarding this move, Sen. Jeff Sessions said today. Sen. Sessions (R-AL), Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee, issued a statement after USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack missed the deadline to reply to oversight requests for data on expenditures for non-citizens on food stamps and information regarding the administration’s waiver of federal immigration law: “Included in the oversight letter was a request for information about USDA’s

Across 166 pages of internal State Department documents – released today by a pair of Republican congressmen pressing the Obama administration for more answers on the Benghazi terrorist attack – slain U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and the security officers assigned to protect him repeatedly sounded alarms to their superiors in Washington about the intensifying lawlessness and violence in Eastern Libya, where Stevens ultimately died. On September 11 – the day Stevens and three other Americans were killed – the ambassador signed a three-page cable, labeled “sensitive,” in which he noted “growing problems

Earth was a Baking Lifeless

Boffins have discovered that "lethally hot" ocean temperatures kept the Earth devoid of life for millions of years after the mass extinction that occurred 250 million years ago. The global wipeout that ended the Permian era, before dinosaurs, wiped out nearly all of the world's species. Mass extinctions like these in Earth's history are usually followed by a "dead zone", a period of tens of thousands of years before new species crop up. But the early Triassic dead zone lasted millions of years, not thousands. Boffins now reckon that the extra-long five million year dead zone was caused by screaming

SANFORD – George Zimmerman's attorneys can subpoena Trayvon Martin's schools for his discipline records, a judge ruled this afternoon, but must keep anything they obtain private. "I think that you're entitled to those records," Circuit Judge Debra Nelson said. Nelson explained that, though Zimmerman didn't know anything about the 17-year-old before the Feb. 26 shooting, the records could potentially show a history of aggression or other behavior by Trayvon that would be relevant to Zimmerman's self-defense claim.

New York - Unemployment declined in 41 states in September, seven of which are key battlegrounds in the election. But falling unemployment rates don't necessarily point to improvement. Ohio, which has 18 electoral votes up for grabs, saw its unemployment rate decline to 7% in September, down from 7.2% just a month earlier (Snip) Ohio added about 51,000 jobs in the last year, but more than 40,000 people also dropped out of the state's labor force. Meanwhile in Florida, which has 29 electoral votes, the job market has made more steady progress. But you wouldn't know it from the unemployment

A Republican member of the House intelligence committee is vigorously disputing a new claim by Democrat and fellow committee member Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois that intelligence officials told the committee there had been a “demonstration that was going on” during an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi on 9/11 that killed four Americans. Jonathan Allen of Politico reported early Wednesday morning that Rep. Schakowsky had blamed faulty intelligence for the Obama administration’s repeated insistence that the attack had been motivated by outrage at an anti-Islamic video. She had added that

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar may have violated federal law during his appearance at an Obama campaign event in Colorado on Wednesday. The Hatch Act limits how federal employees in the executive branch of government may engage in partisan political activity. For instance, they may not use their official titles at political events. But Salazar was presented as “Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar” in the Montrose County Democratic Party’s online event calendar. In his remarks, Salazar stressed the importance of re-electing President Barack Obama.

America lost one of her great old war horses last week when Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Basil L. Plumley passed away at 92 in Columbus, Georgia. CSM Plumley was probably the country's best-known sergeant major, thanks to Sam Elliott's memorable portrayal of him in the movie We Were Soldiers Once...and Young, the filmed version of the book by Joe Galloway and retired Lieutenant General Hal Moore.

This is the latest in a series of exclusive interviews with Dr. Paul Kengor, Cold War historian and professor of political science, on his blockbuster book, The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis, The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor. The Communist is based on declassified material from Soviet archives, FBI files, and archived articles from Communist Party publications. Among the material reproduced in Kengor’s book are reports from Davis’s 600-page FBI file listing Davis’s Communist Party number: 47544. Kengor’s book provides stunning information that the mainstream media has carefully avoided. Like Breitbart News’s Vetting project, Kengor’s

SANFORD – George Zimmerman is in court this afternoon in Seminole County, where a hearing in his second-degree murder case has just begun. The hearing began with the a discussion of the state's suggestion in a recent filing that all defense subpoenas in the case should be filed under seal. A lawyer for a large group of media entities, Scott Ponce, argued that it would be improper for the court to issue a blanket order sealing documents. "There’s a presumption of openness for court hearings and a presumption of openness for court documents," said Ponce, who

First lady answers ‘boxers

Does the first lady prefer boxers or briefs for President Obama? Only Michael Strahan, the new co-host of “Live! With Kelly and Michael,” would be brave enough to ask the first lady that all-important question, in a pre-taped interview that aired Friday morning. “None of the above,” Michelle Obama replied, then rushed to add, “No, I’m kidding!” Although former President Bill Clinton told MTV in 1992 he prefers boxers, America might never know the real answer to the “boxers or briefs?” question for Obama.

The Origination Clause: Die

Chief Justice John Roberts could begin his next Supreme Court decision regarding ObamaCare with the following statements: "Whoops, ObamaCare is unconstitutional. As ObamaCare involves taxes, the House -- not the Senate -- was constitutionally responsible for originating ObamaCare." If Roberts agrees with the Pacific Legal Foundation's (PLF) recent case against ObamaCare, then Roberts, as suggested above, could reverse his decision in June 2012 that most of ObamaCare is constitutional.

Ahead of Election, Obama
Stops Releasing ‘Stimulus’ Reports - Thread Closed

Weekly Standard, by Jeffrey H. Anderson Original Article

The $831,000,000,000 economic “stimulus” that President Obama spearheaded and signed into law requires his administration to release quarterly reports on its effects. But “the most transparent administration in the history of our country” is now four reports behind schedule and has so far not released any reports whatsoever in 2012. Its most recent quarterly report is for the quarter than ended on June 30, 2011. One wonders how the administration would treat a private citizen who acted like such a scofflaw in response to one of Obama’s principal legislative initiatives.

Human Events has the scoop: The Interior Department announced the new bureaucracy in a recent federal registry notice along with a call for nominations by Nov. 19 to seat the 25-member board. The notice specifically states membership will be comprised of state and local government

The mother of an American diplomat killed during a terrorist raid on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi has hit out at Barack Obama for describing the attack as 'not optimal', saying: 'My son is not very optimal - he is also very dead.' During an interview shown on Comedy Central, Obama responded to a question about his administration's confused communication after the assault by saying: 'If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.' Speaking exclusively to MailOnline today, Pat Smith, whose son Sean died in the raid, said: 'It was a disrespectful thing to say
