When an early camera caught a
future president watching a dead one

Investor's Business Daily, by Andrew Malcolm Original Article

Posted By: SurferLad- 10/28/2012 9:22:13 AM Post Reply

It's difficult much of the time to think of presidents in history as having a life on either side of being president. They exist in history books and in fables, especially when they are for a time larger than life, even in death. Abraham Lincoln would be like that. And for us anyway, so is Theodore Roosevelt, who was born yesterday, 154 years ago. [Snip] Now comes a fascinating photograph that links the life of one great president and the death of another.

Mitt Romney Unmasked!

American Thinker, by Paul J. Shlichta Original Article

Charles Lamb once said that "the greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident." If so, then Mitt Romney must be beaming today. Throughout this election year, I have been puzzled by the strange silence about Romney's history of unobtrusive good deeds. I assumed that Romney himself must have asked his campaign managers to refrain from mentioning them. This may be good Christian manners, but it would have been a potent antidote to the Democrats' poisonous caricature of an aloof millionaire oblivious to the needs of ordinary people.

Navy Replaces Admiral
Leading Mideast Strike Group
Because of Ongoing Investigation

In an unusual move, the Navy has replaced an admiral commanding an aircraft carrier strike group while it is deployed to the Middle East. The replacement was prompted by an Inspector General’s investigation of allegations of inappropriate leadership judgment. Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette, the commander of the USS John C. Stennis strike group, is being returned to the United States for temporary reassignment. In a statement the Navy said it had approved a request made by Vice Adm. John W. Miller, the Commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, to temporarily reassign Gaouette “pending the results

Benghazi attack:
Urgent call for military help

Citing “sources who were on the ground” in Benghazi, Libya, Fox News is reporting that an urgent request for military help during last month’s terrorist attack on the US consulate there “was denied by the CIA chain of command.”

What about the Camp Bastion attack?

Three days after the bloody 9/11 siege on our consulate in Benghazi, the Taliban waged an intricately coordinated, brutal attack on Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. The murderous jihadists released video exactly one month ago this week showing off their training exercises in preparation for the assault. Where are the questions? Where’s the accountability? Where’s the Obama administration? Where’s the press? Where’s the outrage?

Obama's Taqqiya Unravels

I have never entertained the idea that Obama was a Muslim and always believed he was a socialist. But Obama's behavior over the last four years regarding Islam has convinced me that Obama has a Socialist/Islamic centered worldview -- a combination that is not uncommon in many parts of the Muslim world. Having been a journalist in Egypt for six years in the seventies, I have witnessed socialism with an Islamic twist to be a popular political ideology, especially amongst Arab journalists and intellectuals. Socialism, and even communism, have managed to survive in the ruthless Islamic political system

Obama knew about the attack,

The Benghazi debacle may yet make Mitt Romney president. Barely 10 days before the election, the persistent whiff of scandal surrounding Barack Obama exploded into the banner headlines of a cover-up – at least among certain press outlets. Everything changed Friday afternoon with the stunning revelations by Fox News that CIA operatives defending the embattled consulate in Benghazi, Libya, called three times for emergency assistance while the attack was in progress. Each time, they were shamefully turned down. One of those defenders, Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, was apparently able to use a laser designator to pin-point

Presidential race tied in
Ohio newspaper poll

Beacon Journal [Akron OH], by Rich Heldenfels Original Article

Dead heat. This close. And with almost no voters saying they’re undecided. That’s how things look in the presidential race, according to the most recent Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio Newspaper Organization poll. President Barack Obama, 49 percent. Republican challenger Mitt Romney, ditto. One remaining percent for “other,” and one more for “don’t know.” And all within the margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent. This is a major change from a similar poll a month ago, when Obama held a 51-46 percent lead over Romney. The reason may be shifts in key parts of the electorate.

Who gets credit for the recovery?

Washington--The housing bust finally seems to be over. Health care costs have slowed. The unemployment rate has fallen below 8 percent, much sooner than forecasters were predicting a few months ago. Consumer confidence has reached a post-recession high. (Snip)President Obama and his aides quietly chafe at the idea that Mitt Romney would be able to take credit for a recovery. Publicly, Mr. Obama has begun to emphasize the economic good news in recent weeks. Mr. Romney, for his part, has said he expects the economy to improve early in his presidency, not because of his policies but because of optimism

Independents’ Day

Weekly Standard, by Jay Cost Original Article

With a week to go until the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney has a decided leg up on President Barack Obama. The polls are clear. Since the fallout from the first debate in Denver on October 3, Romney has enjoyed a relatively durable lead over the president in the Real Clear Politics average of the national polls. While the lead is small, it has persisted over time, and, more important, history suggests that this is trouble for an incumbent. The only sitting president to mount a last-minute comeback against his challenger was Gerald Ford in 1976,

For the Kennedys, it was easy being green. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his late wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, didn’t pay a penny for the high-end kitchen appliances, dual-flush toilets, solid brass and zinc faucets, hardwood flooring and hypoallergenic rugs when they created their eco-friendly Westchester mansion. Even the bamboo hangers and the cleaning products were free — a $1.3 million bonanza of swag. Now five months after Mary Richardson Kennedy’s suicide at the sprawling estate in Bedford, her husband is set to make a windfall. RFK Jr. claims he already has a buyer

The flap over President Obama's off-the-record interview with the Des Moines Register's editorial board was no blunder. It was a carefully targeted publicity stunt, aimed at reaching a critical voting bloc in Iowa, the undecided and the Latino community. Did it work? (Snip)I guess at least a part of the plan backfired on fired on the President since the paper endorsed Mitt Romney for President today. Maybe, the editor and publisher should call the President back and ask him to come clean and give an explanation of why he called them

Planned Parenthood battles
Texas in court over funding

HOUSTON -- Planned Parenthood and Texas officials are headed back to court in early November, the latest round of legal wrangling in a fight over funding. On Friday, a Texas district court judge in Austin issued a temporary restraining order barring Texas officials from eliminating Planned Parenthood from the Women's Health Program if they continue to accept federal funds. Judge Amy Clark Meachum issued the order in response to a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood that argues a new state rule barring clinics affiliated with abortion providers from receiving funding under the program is invalidated by the Texas Human Resources Code,

Press-Gazette endorsement:

Four years ago, when Barack Obama was elected president, he campaigned on a message of hope and change. Many hoped he could bring change for a nation weary of two wars, a nation beset by a mortgage crisis and Wall Street scandal, and, most importantly, a nation whose economic future was so uncertain that massive government bailouts were needed.

The Des Moines Register has endorsed Mitt Romney for president. This is the first time that paper has endorsed the Republican presidential candidate in the general election since 1972. The fact of the endorsement, coming as it does in an important battleground state, is more important than the reasons for it. Nonetheless I suspect that the portion of the Register’s reasoning set forth below reflects the views of a great many independent voters this year: American voters are deeply divided about this race. The Register’s editorial board, as it should, had a vigorous debate over this endorsement.

A state of emergency was declared today in both New York and New Jersey as officials warned the already-killer Hurricane Sandy that is barreling toward the East coast will be the worst case scenario affecting a third of the U.S. and endangering as many as 66 million Americans. 'We should not underestimate the impact of this storm and not assume the predictions will be wrong,' New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said as he ordered the evacuation of much of the coast - including Atlantic City casinos. 'We have to be prepared for the worst.'

Normally, I have no difficulty writing this column. I see it as a way to provide busy readers a coherent narrative of the best of the week's most important news -- largely as reported by the alternative media and ignored by its richer, fatter and lazier media opposition. This week is sadly different. The latest news coming out about the murder of our ambassador and three other brave Americans in Ben Ghazi is so horrifying and shocking I can take no pleasure in writing about it. It's still largely unreported by the legacy media.

Liberals Find out Women Aren’t Amused

Soon will come the finger-pointing. Liberals will gnash their teeth, pull their hair and recriminate. Yes; true, this is normal behavior on the part of liberals. But this time the behavior will be uproarious and hilarious. Because this time, the folks who brought us Occupy Wall Street won’t be in a drum circle, but in a circular firing squad facing their comrades, their righteous fingers loaded and looking for blame. “Oh, Chicago!” they’ll say. “Bang, bang.” Sure, there will be the typical liberal shots at the “racists” on the right who denied Obama a second term. But the delicious irony lost on them

Big Bird is in no danger of going anywhere, with hundreds of millions of dollars in its nest egg. Sesame Street makes for a nice public face for public broadcasting, but public broadcasting isn’t anywhere as cozy as that. But it’s actually worse than that. CCTV, an official propaganda arm of the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party, is being distributed to public television stations in the U.S. through a public television programming service called MHz Worldview, a project of MHz Networks.

Why A Mormon Is Perfectly
Suited To Be President

Business Insider, by Matt Hopkins Original Article

Mormons are unlikely patriots. We are a faith that was founded in the youth of the nation, forged in the desert of the West, and matured along with the country that we call home. Our history is complicated, but consistently we have proved loyal to the United States of America. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, better known as Mormonism, started in New York, moved to the midwest and eventually settled what is now known as Utah. We made these moves not because we wanted to be secretive, but because we were persecuted for our faith.

Washington--The Obama administration will soon take on a new role as the sponsor of at least two nationwide health insurance plans to be operated under contract with the federal government and offered to consumers in every state. (Snip)The national plans will compete directly with other private insurers and may have some significant advantages, including a federal seal of approval. Premiums and benefits for the multistate insurance plans will be negotiated by the United States Office of Personnel Management, the agency that arranges health benefits for federal employees.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis.- Republicans see a lack of enthusiasm for President Obama when they look out across Wisconsin, and they're hoping that that diminished energy level will give them the opening they need to seize the traditionally Democratic state for GOP nominee Mitt Romney. "I don't think there's any state where Obama has lost more ground than Wisconsin," said state Rep. Steve Kestell, a Romney supporter. "This is all about making sure our folks get out to vote and bring a friend." Wisconsin nearly went for Republican George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, but it hasn't actually backed

The return of the wolf is one of the unexpected ecological bonuses of the modern era. So numerous are wolves that this fall Wisconsin and Wyoming have joined Idaho and Montana in opening wolf-hunting seasons for the first time in years. Minnesota follows suit next month; Michigan may do so next year. The reintroduced wolves of Yellowstone National Park have expanded to meet the expanding packs of Canada and northern Montana. The same is happening in Europe. Wolf populations are rising in Spain, Italy and Eastern Europe, while in recent years wolves have recolonized France, Germany, Sweden and Norway,

Previously on Law & Order: Last Monday, hockey-stick progenitor Michael Mann filed suit in DC Superior Court against me, NR, the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Rand Simberg. I noticed on the press release (published on his Facebook page) that Dr Mann claimed to have been “awarded the Nobel Peace Prize“, and that on the complaint itself we are accused of the hitherto unknown crime of “defamation of a Nobel prize recipient“. So my colleague Charles C W Cooke decided to call up the Nobel chaps in Oslo and ask them if Dr Mann was, in fact, a Nobel laureate:

NEW ORLEANS- Madonna drew boos and triggered a walkout by several concertgoers after she touted President Barack Obama on her "MDNA Tour" in New Orleans. The Material Girl asked during Saturday night's performance: "Who's registered to vote?" She added: "I don't care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama." Drawing boos in touting Obama over Republican Mitt Romney, Madonna followed: "Seriously, I don't care who you vote for ... Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote." Madonna is often outspoken.

How to explain this budding “bromance,” as first lady Michelle Obama puts it, between her husband and Bill Clinton? The 44th president and the 42nd president are indeed having a whirlwind affair in the closing days of the campaign. President Obama takes Clinton on three campaign stops next week, stopping in Orlando, Youngstown, Ohio, and Northern Virginia to kick off the last full week of the race. An ad Clinton cut, defending Obama against all “the stuff some folks are saying,” is set to run in those states and in Nevada, Colorado and Iowa.
