Sen. Sessions: ´Jack Lew
Must Never Be Secretary
of Treasury´

Breitbart Big Government, by Wynton Hall Original Article

Posted By: JoniTx- 1/9/2013 9:23:40 PM Post Reply

On Wednesday, the Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said he plans to vigorously oppose President Barack Obama’s Treasury Secretary nominee Jack Lew. "Jack Lew must never be Secretary of Treasury,” said Mr. Sessions in a statement. "His testimony before the Senate Budget Committee less than two years ago was so outrageous and false that it alone disqualifies.” On Feb. 13, 2011, Mr. Lew appeared on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley and said of Mr. Obama´s proposed budget: Our budget will get us, over the next several years,

Obama political machine to be

Washington - President Barack Obama’s campaign operation is about to be fired back up just a few months after helping him win a second term with a new mission to assist the president in promoting his top legislative goals and progressive issues. Senior Obama campaign aides are currently working on the specifics of how to restructure Obama for America, but are considering several different options such as converting it to a 501c4 or perhaps a super PAC, a source familiar with the campaign said. The new campaign organization will be headed by Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager who oversaw

Chávez, or at Least His Sash,
Is Set for Venezuela Inauguration

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chávez’s supporters have not ruled out swearing him in from his hospital in Havana. His detractors are calling for government investigators to check his pulse themselves. The justices whom Mr. Chávez’s allies have named to the Supreme Court have decided that he can continue to govern in absentia. In a country that Mr. Chávez, 58, has so long dominated, his health crisis and the decision to proceed on Thursday with a quasi-presidential inauguration that he is unable to attend is producing a stream of bizarre developments and national angst about who is in charge.

American International Group´s board of directors announced Wednesday that the bailed-out company will not join a lawsuit against the U.S. government -- after lawmakers repeatedly warned the firm not to bite the hand that fed it. (Snip) Starr International Co. Inc., the investment firm of former AIG CEO Maurice Greenberg, had filed the lawsuit in November 2011 on behalf of the firm and AIG shareholders. The complaint asserts that the government didn´t provide shareholders fair compensation when it took a nearly 80 percent stake in the insurer as part of its bailout. AIG said that,

With the departure of Hilda Solis at Labor, we have now seen five members of the President’s cabinet announcing their intention to leave since the election: Hillary Clinton, Timothy Geithner, Leon Panetta, Lisa Jackson (EPA) and now Hilda Solis. Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood has also long suggested he would not stay for a second term. There’s nothing unusual about 2nd term cabinet changes, of course, and there may be more to come. But a senior White House official tells me that at least three other cabinet secretaries have been asked to stay

New York — The gig is almost up for one of the eight Monopoly tokens. But which will it be? Iron? Thimble? Top Hat? Or another of their board game buddies? Hasbro is holding a Facebook contest to eliminate one of the eight tokens that identify the players and introduce a new one. Possible new tokens include a cat, diamond ring, guitar, toy robot and helicopter.(Snip) Monopoly´s tokens have actually changed quite a lot over the years. The original version also included a lantern, purse, cannon and a rocking horse. A horse and rider token was used in the 1950s.

On Wednesday’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer acknowledged a link between gun ownership and gun violence, but said Americans would revolt if Congress implemented sweeping, unprecedented gun control legislation. “I think we are going to end up exactly where we started,” Krauthammer said. “We’re probably going to try an assault weapons ban. It will be a little bit tighter, but it didn’t work. It lasted for 10 years … If we had honest debate, the gun owners would admit, ‘Yes of course, guns contribute to homicide.’ … Japan had 11 gun homicides last year.

The most famous eugenicists were the Spartans. Their newborns were allowed to live only if perfectly healthy. The state did not want to be burdened by imperfect babies. The modern eugenicists advocate infanticide as being no different than abortion. According to an article in The Telegraph, a team of medical ethicists linked to Oxford University maintained that “parents should be allowed to have their newborn babies killed because they are ‘morally irrelevant.’ (Stephen Adams, February 29, 2012) The Journal of Medical Ethics published an article, “After-birth abortion: Why should the baby live?”

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was on front pages and TV screens last week when he ripped House Republicans for not passing a Hurricane Sandy relief bill New Year´s Day, the same day they were engulfed with the fiscal-cliff tax bill. "There´s only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims," said Gov. Christie, "the House majority and their speaker, John Boehner." GOP Congressman Michael Grimm from Staten Island called the non-vote on Sandy "a betrayal," and this being New York-New Jersey, Republican Peter King of Long Island invoked "a knife in the back."

The radical Muslim Brotherhood doesn´t just threaten Israel and Mideast peace. According to the Egyptian press, several of its operatives have infiltrated the U.S. government and are influencing policy here. The respected Egyptian magazine Rose al-Youssef has identified at least six Brotherhood-tied agents of influence who have worked into positions inside the Obama administration. The weekly publication, founded in 1925, said the operatives have turned the White House "from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood,"

When the editors of the Journal News, a local upstate New York paper, published a mappable database of every licensed gun owner in Westchester and Rockland counties, north of New York City, they thought they were performing a public service after the Sandy Hook shootings.

In Obama´s America, Only
Debt and Dependency Grow

Welfare State: The Congressional Budget Office says the government is on track for another $1 trillion deficit year. That´s the bad news. Worse is that most of it goes to programs that increase government dependency. According to the CBO, deficits in just the first three months of this fiscal year already add up to $293 billion. Which means that, despite Obama´s massive tax hikes, deficits will likely top $1 trillion for the fifth year in a row, and Obama will have added $7.5 trillion to the nation´s debt since taking office. The problem isn´t just

For much of its 236-year history, the federal government has accumulated new power by whittling away at the essential protections afforded to American citizens under the U.S. Constitution. In recent years this wholesale abandonment of our founding principles has rapidly gained momentum — accompanied by a skyrocketing government debt that now eclipses our nation´s annual gross domestic product. "There´s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics," President Reagan said in his farewell address to the nation in 1989. "As government expands, liberty contracts."

Elections have consequences. One of them is continuing US support for the European Project and the process of ‘ever closer union’, following Barack Obama’s re-election last November. Had Mitt Romney won, there would have been a very different approach towards the EU, with a far greater emphasis upon advancing ties with nation states in Europe as opposed to currying favour with Brussels. Romney’s approach was distinctly Eurosceptic, with frequent warnings against America ending up like Europe, with its big government, high tax approach. As David Blair has reported, Philip Gordon, the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazil and several other South American nations rallied behind Venezuela´s decision to defer the inauguration of ailing leader Hugo Chavez, with the presidents of Uruguay and Bolivia and Haiti´s prime minister traveling to Caracas on Wednesday in a show of support. But some regional neighbors, including Chile, joined the European Union and the United States in steering clear of the legal debate over the swearing-in, which had been scheduled for Thursday. The 58-year-old Chavez in December underwent a fourth cancer-related surgery in Cuba, where he remains. His supporters have postponed his inauguration for a new presidential term,
