Lee Iacocca endorses
Romney for president

Human Events, by John Gizzi Original Article

After a lifetime of voting for and supporting Democrats — and even declining appointment to the U.S. Senate from a Democratic governor — Lee Iacocca Thursday endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for president. The blessings of the onetime Chrysler chairman are expected to help Romney in two highly competitive states: Pennsylvania, where the 88-year-old Iacocca was born and raised and is still widely respected, and in Michigan, where Iacocca rose to become a major figure in the auto industry and won international praise for cobbling together the government-backed loans that saved Chrysler in 1980. Iacocca, who now lives in California,

Gun industry thrives during
Obama's term in office

Associated Press, by Eileen Sullivan Original Article

Washington - President Barack Obama has presided over a heyday for the gun industry despite predictions by the National Rifle Association four years ago that he would be the ‘‘most anti-gun president in American history.’’ Gun buyers fear that Obama wants to restrict their purchases, especially if he were re-elected. An analysis by The Associated Press of data tracking the health of the gun industry shows that sales are on the rise, so much that some gun manufacturers can’t make enough guns fast enough. Major gun company stock prices are up. (Snip) ‘‘The driver is President Obama. He’s the best

Is Obama buying the election
with his welfare explosion?

With the unprecedented explosion of means-tested, welfare-related entitlements, does Team Obama think it can buy the election? It’s a cynical question. But I wouldn’t put it past that cynical bunch. Remember Harry Hopkins, Franklin Roosevelt’s close aid? It was Hopkins who argued tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect. Sound familiar? And if I’m not mistaken, the high-tax, anti-rich, big-spending, redistributionist FDR is one of Barack Obama’s idols. So let’s take a look at some of the recent budget-explosion data points:

The author of a Hillary Clinton profile in Marie Claire magazine on Friday accused “over-protective bulldogs” on the Secretary of State’s staff of flipping out in a flap over the interpretation of comments Clinton made in an interview about “whining” and women’s work-family balance. “Now I’m pi$$ed,” novelist Ayelet Waldman, author of the magazine piece, wrote on Twitter. “I wrote a very laudatory piece about Hillary Clinton which absolutely accurately quotes her. It gets picked up and her over-protective bulldogs go insane. We were absolutely talking about women and work life balance when she made the whining comment.”

Democratic Congressional candidate Raul Ruiz, who was arrested for his role in a violent protest on Thanksgiving Day, 1997, doesn't want voters in California's 36th Congressional District to know what he said at a 1999 "Day of Mourning" rally. Breitbart News has obtained a copy of an audio tape from that 1999 speech when Ruiz (pictured above far left at his 1997 arraignment) proclaimed his support for Leonard Peltier, convicted in 1977 of killing two FBI agents: [audio] (Snip) At a recent debate with incumbent Congressman Mary Bono Mack (R-CA), Ruiz was singing a very different tune.

Candy Crowley Self-Destructs

Just how badly did CNN's Candy Crowley destroy her first (and hopefully last) attempt as a presidential debate moderator? More than 65 million people saw that she is to debate moderation as CNN is to "news." Barack Obama made a fatal mistake when he lied, claiming he'd labeled the Libya attack as an act of terrorism. The look on Romney's face said it all: Mr. President, here comes checkmate.

Tuesday's second and final Senate debate will remain open to the public, despite a union push to corner the market on tickets. The Indiana Debate Commission considered closing the New Albany debate among Republican Richard Mourdock, Democrat Joe Donnelly and Libertarian Andrew Horning, after a United Auto Workers bus convoy gobbled up 300 of the 500 available seats.

The American Family Association (AFA) is warning parents about an upcoming “entry level” diversity program being promoted by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) under its “Teaching Tolerance” project. On October 30, at over 2,000 schools across the nation, the SPLC will activate its annual Mix It up at Lunch Day, which it describes as a campaign, established a decade ago, that “encourages students to identify, question and cross social boundaries.” (Snip) But in a recent Action Alert, the AFA warned that the event is also a thinly disguised attempt to promote the homosexual lifestyle among elementary and junior high

Today’s presidential tracking poll from Rasmussen shows a two-point gain for Barack Obama, bringing him into a tie with Mitt Romney at 48/48. At first blush, that looks as though Obama may have righted the ship after the second debate, but Rasmussen warns that the most recent surveys show momentum in the opposite direction: (Snip) Today’s result dropped the surveying that took place the day before the debate, which apparently wasn’t terribly good for Obama, and retains the day of the debate, which apparently was better for the incumbent President, at least relative to Romney. The changes involved are relatively

A 26-year-old lesbian deployed to Afghanistan reportedly brought along male hormones -- part of her ongoing sex change from female to male, the Military Times reported this week. The Specialist -- who eventually plans to take the name "Keith" -- says she has been legally married to a woman for the past two years. Contacted in Afghanistan by the newspaper, Keith said her voice is getting deeper: "I’m getting more muscle. I feel more energy. I feel more like myself," she was quoted as saying.

Obama Has Biggest

President Obama on Oct. 17 had his single most lucrative day of campaign fundraising ever, an Obama campaign official confirmed to ABC News. The record-setting haul, which the official declined to specify, was attributed to a surge of online contributions from grassroots donors following Obama’s performance in the second 2012 presidential debate. The campaign announced last week that it has amassed a base of 4 million unique donors — or 1 in 75 Americans — a new record. The flood of cash appears to signal a resurgent enthusiasm among Democrats, two weeks after the president’s lackluster first debate rattled nerves

New York - The pace of previously owned home sales slowed slightly in September, even as the long-battered housing market showed signs of a broader recovery. Sales of existing homes sold at an annual rate of 4.75 million, according to a closely watched reading reported Friday from the National Association of Realtors. It was off slightly from the 4.83 million pace the previous month, but up 11% from a year earlier. Despite the slip, September's pace was the second best in more than two years, trailing only the strong August reading.

Stone Town/Dar es Salaam - Muslim protesters clashed with police in Tanzania's commercial capital and on the semi-autonomous island of Zanzibar on Friday, raising religious tensions in the east African country. In Dar es Salaam, protests against the arrest of a hardline Muslim cleric turned violent, while in Zanzibar, supporters of an Islamist separatist group have repeatedly fought police over the disappearance of their spiritual leader. The violence has raised concerns of an escalation in religious tensions in relatively stable and secular Tanzania, east Africa's second-largest economy.

“Pyramid of Power” Looking for

“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

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.

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.

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
