A Hurricane Approaches
Washington, and so Does Sandy

PJ Media, by J. Christian Adams Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought- 10/28/2012 4:34:18 PM Post Reply

Hurricane Sandy isn’t the only storm approaching Washington. So is an electoral storm. President Obama’s job approval has fallen a stunning seven points in just three days. Overnight, Sandy’s minimum central pressure plunged to a staggering 951 mb. That’s lower than the snow bomb that wrecked the East Coast in 1993. Other ominous signs have appeared. The polls show a president on the run. Romney is ahead or pressing hard in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and even Michigan. Virginia and North Carolina seem lost to Obama. So does Florida. James O’Keefe has released videos showing Democrat

Republicans poised for

Olympia, Wash. - Republicans are in position to extend their recent gains among governors as they compete for seats they haven't won in a quarter-century. Of the 11 states with gubernatorial elections in November, eight are now led by Democrats, and each of the most competitive races is a GOP pickup opportunity. The numbers suggests that Republicans soon will claim 30 to 33 governorships after holding just 22 a few years ago -- an advantage not reflected in the divided Congress or competitive presidential race. "It says that when people are choosing the government closest to the people,

Obama Calls Mitt Romney a BSer?
Now That’s Funny!

You know what’s funny? In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Obama called Mitt Romney a “bullsh*tter” … that’s what’s funny. Now, it’s not funny in a ha-ha sense but funny in a you-gotta-be-kidding-me sense of the word. Obama accusing Romney of bunkum? Talk about the putz calling the kettle black. Obama’s entire life and rise to power have been nothing more than a Texas-sized stockyard of ripe and foul compost. This man makes Machiavelli look lame. Hussein trades so heavily in BS that the Oxford Dictionary has now included his last name as a synonym for bollocks.

Mitt Romney for president.

It’s hard to believe any president can put us back on the right track after six years of recession, the worst economy since the Great Depression. Both parties got us into this mess – with our tacit approval – and both parties must get us out of it. The country’s ills cannot be cured by the White House alone. An engaged Congress must be willing to work with the president and each other. Hard-line stances from both parties do not represent a majority of Americans and will continue to paralyze and polarize us. That’s why we’re also urging voters in the two counties to take seriously who they elect

The province has pulled an influenza vaccine while it undergoes a safety review, putting about a fifth of Alberta’s vaccine supply on hold.

The Lima News endorses Mitt Romney

Republicans remember the battle cry of the Bill Clinton campaign all so well. “It’s the economy, stupid.” That prophetic statement trumpeted why Bush I -- George Herbert -- ended up a one-term president in 1992 despite having an 89 percent approval rating midway during his term. Now, 20 years later, we see the same thing happening again. This time, however, it is the Democrats on the receiving end. Of the many issues that separate incumbent President Barack Obama from Republican challenger Mitt Romney, none stick out more than the economy.

Dying, crucial satellites could

Washington — The United States is facing a year or more without crucial satellites that provide invaluable data for predicting storm tracks, a result of years of mismanagement, lack of financing and delays in launching replacements, according to several recent official reviews. The looming gap in satellite coverage, which some experts view as almost certain to occur within a few years, could result in shaky forecasts about storms such as Hurricane Sandy, which is expected to hit the East Coast early this week. The endangered satellites fly pole-to-pole orbits and cross the equator in the afternoon,

Ohio gov. predicts Romney

Ohio's Republican governor said Sunday that private polls show Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney beating President Barack Obama in the all-important battleground state of Ohio just as auto industry politics assume a dominant role in the closing days of the campaign. Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) predicted outright that Romney would win Ohio on "Meet the Press" and, with it, the presidential election — a overall contest which Kasich said wouldn't be that close. "Right now, I believe we're currently ahead. Internals show us currently ahead," he said, referring to the private polling candidates

What this nation needs is a turnaround expert. We need someone who knows how to deal with a balance sheet drowning in red ink. We need someone who has that American strain of pragmatism in an era of toxic partisan politics. We need someone who has made his fortune, who doesn’t need this job but is seeking simply to serve the public. That man is Mitt Romney. Following in the footsteps of his father who was successful in the private sector, Romney has dedicated his later years to public service. America Needs Him: The incumbent, Barack Obama,

Dean “Diz” Laird is a legend, the only known U.S. Navy ace to shoot down both German and Japanese planes during World War II. Despite close calls — once, his shot-up plane skidded across an aircraft carrier’s flight deck — Diz possessed a fighter pilot’s essential attribute: Supreme self-confidence. “It never entered my mind that I would ever get shot down,” he said. “I thought I was too good.” Now a Coronado resident, this Northern California native was a bit player in global drama. He saw the transformation of the Navy and its tactics, a transformation that also changed the service’s key

It's a headline-writer's dream, and every parent's worst nightmare. But if history is any guide, the likelihood of America's young trick-or-treaters being harmed this week by a homicidal maniac who poisons Halloween "candy" is nonexistent. For decades, parents have been warned to check sweet-wrappers for signs of tampering, chocolate bars for hidden needles, and apples for surreptitiously inserted razor blades when their children return home from knocking on strangers' doors. But Dr Joel Best, a sociologist and criminologist at the University of Delaware, has researched every reported case of

Over the next four years, Washington must foster a more competitive economy and balance federal budgets. Florida voters rate jobs and business growth as their No. 1 concern by far. For those reasons, we endorse former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for president. Romney has a clearer vision for a modern economy. He has a better understanding than President Barack Obama of what could help manufacturers and service companies grow and hire. And he has executive experience and a record of problem solving that Obama did not have before taking office. We think Romney would

Washington - President Obama's prayers for a strong first debate may not have been answered, but that doesn't mean the prayers weren't happening. Before he stepped onto a Colorado stage earlier this month to face off with Mitt Romney for the first time, Obama joined a conference call with a small circle of Christian ministers. "The focus of that prayer was, 'Oh, Lord, you know precisely what the president needs to say,'" says Kirbyjon Caldwell, a Methodist megachurch pastor from Texas who helped lead the call. "'You know what this country needs during the next four years.'" "'And so I would pray

A new poll Sunday of likely Minnesota voters indicates a close race between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the state long considered a safe bet for Democrats. The Star Tribune survey, taken entirely after the final presidential debate, shows Obama with a three point advantage over Romney among likely Minnesota voters. Forty-seven percent of respondents said they would back the president and 44% said they support Romney. Obama's advantage is within the survey's sampling error. The poll also shows Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson with 2% support

FactCheck.org: Obama's
Jobs Creation Claims False

Breitbart's Big Journalism, by Warner Todd Huston Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 10/28/2012 3:14:36 PM Post Reply

President Obama has lately been touting the claim that he's created 5.2 million new jobs as President. His fantastic boast is featured in a new TV ad. But FactCheck.org says not so fast. Those claims are "inflated," to say the least. FactCheck notes that the 5.2 million claim is accurate, such as it is. But what makes it "inflated" is that the jobs number refers only to jobs created after 2010 and does not include the 4.3 million that were lost earlier in Obama's term. Further, according to FactCheck, Obama's number counts only private-sector jobs and does not include the "continuing losses" of jobs in the government sector

Perhaps no more glaring example of today’s media blackout is when NBC’s David Gregory cut off a guest who attempted to raise the Benghazi issue by promising to “get to that later” and then ignoring the issue for the rest of his Sunday morning news show. More important than even that though was a question raised during Fox News Sunday to Democrat Senator Tom Udall on whether or not the drones that flew over the compound in Benghazi during the attack were armed. Senator Udall refused to answer that question. Here is a rundown of the media’s clearly coordinated deflection of what is now the most

Yet another poll has shown the presidential race in Ohio tied, with President Barack Obama dropping below the crucial 50 percent mark.

The poll, with a D+3 sample, also showed Romney leading 51%-46% on the issue of the economy. Obama held a slight lead among independent voters, albeit with a very large margin of error, given the small number of uncommitted voters remaining.

Swedes have the highest proficiency in English as a second language in the world, according to a new study which tested nearly 2 million people in 54 countries.
