ABC News, by Jason Ryan Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 2/8/2013 9:15:15 PM Post Reply

Federal agents arrested a California man this morning in a terror sting after he allegedly tried to detonate a car bomb at an Oakland bank as part of a Taliban plot. The FBI said the explosive device that Matthew Aaron Llaneza, 28, of San Jose tried to use was not operable and posed no threat, and that Llaneza´s Taliban contact was actually an undercover agent. According to authorities, in November Llaneza met with a man he believed was linked to the Taliban and the mujahideen in Afghanistan.

President Obama is poised to sign off on a new internal review of U.S. nuclear weapons strategy that would reduce the arsenal by one-third, resulting in billions in savings to the Pentagon and Energy Department. The recommended reductions were included in a draft version of a classified decision directive compiled by top defense and national security officials inside the White House, according to a report by the Center for Public Integrity issued Friday. While the president has yet to officially approve the directive, including the recommended one-third cut to the nuclear arsenal, sources tell CPI Obama has

The White House warned Friday that allowing the $85 billion sequester to happen would devastate the economy and disrupt the everyday lives of millions of people.In a move intended to intensify pressure on Congress to prevent looming spending cuts set for March 1, White House officials told reporters the cuts would hamper law enforcement, hurt federal education programs, withhold mental health services and furlough thousands of workers.The officials also said there would be nothing they could do to soften the pain if the sequester happens.

A federal advisory committee appointed by the Obama administration to produce a report on climate change says that if Earth’s climate were still “primarily controlled by natural factors”—rather than by man-made global warming—then the next ice age would occur within the next 1,500 years. But now, because of humans, the committee says, the next ice age has been "delayed indefinitely." “Confirmation of what are called Milankovich cycles (cyclical changes in the Earth’s orbit that explain the onset and ending of ice ages) led

Famed Baltimore neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson addressed the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning on healthcare. Dr. Carson often criticized Obamacare and government intrusion in healthcare while President Obama sat in the audience. Dr. Carson encouraged a program where newborn babies are given health savings account as an alternative to Obamacare. (Snip)DR. CARSON: Here´s my solution: When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account to which money can be contributed -- pretax -- from the time you´re born ´til the time you die.

The Atlantic Council on Friday released a list of its foreign donors after Republicans demanded the financial information from Defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel, who is chairman of the think tank. The Atlantic Council’s president and CEO sent a seven-page letter to Hagel Friday that included the list of foreign corporations, governments and government entities that fund the organization. The list includes roughly 100 corporations and 15 foreign governments, as well as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The amount of funding from each entity is not listed. It’s unclear whether the information will satisfy Republican demands.

Brainwashed by Obama

In 2008, I was a 21-year old college junior and first-time voter. At the time, I had an opportunity to shake then-Sen. Barack Obama’s hand as he marched out from the student center at Georgia Tech, my college, to address a packed crowd in downtown Atlanta. Sparked by this encounter and riding the anti-Bush bandwagon, I checked my ballot box for Mr. Obama on Election Day, and optimistically began to look for the hope and change he promised. Little has improved since then, and the experience left a sour taste in my mouth toward democracy.

Obama´s Latest Jobs Promise
—Deja Vu All Over Again

State Of The Union: President Obama says his State of the Union speech will be "focused on job creation." Seems as though we´ve heard this song before from Obama. And we already know how it ends. In a preview of his State of the Union speech to Democrats, Obama promised that after four years of historically weak economic growth and an unemployment rate that´s been stuck at or near 8% since he took office, he´s going to turn his attention to job growth. But he´s made the same promise many times over the past four years.

Catholic adoption agencies have been forced to close their doors in Illinois, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., because their religious beliefs about marriage were deemed unacceptable by their jurisdictions. A graduate student in Michigan was expelled from a counseling program because her religious beliefs about marriage were deemed unacceptable by school officials. Christian pharmacists in Illinois were told to find other professions because their religious beliefs regarding when life begins were deemed unacceptable by the state. Private business owners are facing enormous fines because their beliefs about when life begins have been deemed unacceptable by the federal government.

Staring at a another debt ceiling crisis, the president´s punishing the one credit rating agency that dared downgrade U.S. debt in the last crisis. And Wall Street analysts say the timing´s no coincidence. Just weeks away from the next debt-limit showdown, the Justice Department filed a whopping $5 billion lawsuit against Standard & Poor´s for alleged fraud. The case appears weak, but the message it sends S&P and the other independent rating agencies is clear: Don´t downgrade anymore. "It´s a foregone conclusion that no more downgrades will be coming," said Euro Pacific Capital CEO

Sen. Rand Paul will deliver what´s being billed as the official tea party response to President Obama´s State of the Union address on Tuesday, the Tea Party Express announced Friday afternoon — putting yet another top 2016 GOP presidential contender head-to-head with Mr. Obama. Republican Party officials picked Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican and another potential 2016 presidential hopeful, to give the official Republican response, so elevating Mr. Paul, Kentucky Republican, to the tea party response will show several contrasts. "We are happy to see that the Republicans have

The fired Los Angeles Police officer and ex-U.S. Navy reservist terrorizing Southern California, allegedly killing three and wounding three, is no Adam Lanza of the unspeakable Newtown infamy, no Jared Lee Loughner, who allegedly murdered a judge and maimed a congresswoman in Arizona, no James Eagan Holmes, whom officials say murdered 12 and injured another 58 moviegoers in

Harry Reid Set Precedent
for Disclosure of Hagel´s
Foreign Funders

Senate majority leader Harry Reid helped set the precedent for looking into foreign backers when, in 2002, he demanded that Henry Kissinger reveal the source of his funders before serving on the 9/11 Commission. Kissinger refused to release his own documents, and therefore did not serve on the commission. It´s relevant now because Chuck Hagel, who has been nominated as secretary of defense, is not fully disclosing his own foreign financial dealings. This, despite the fact that more than half the Republicans in the Senate sent a letter asking him to do so before they could

Security: The deaths of four Americans in Libya may be old news, but the president who failed to protect them remains in office. A Senate hearing has shown just how bad the negligence was. It´s an uphill battle keeping the public focused on any story more than a few days old. But Republican senators did their best Thursday to draw attention to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. The story continues to reveal much about Barack Obama´s leadership and priorities.

We’re a day late to it but here it is, by popular demand, for your evening enjoyment. The Blaze says the response they’ve gotten to the vid is among the most enthusiastic for any clip in the history of the site. The Wall Street Journal, upon viewing it, declared “Ben Carson for president.” He’ll be on Hannity’s show tonight to elaborate on the themes, but if you’re unfamiliar with the man, you can get a taste of his many accomplishments here. I wonder why a guy who can light up an audience like this hasn’t considered political office.

Biden: No Information,

What you see below is a copy of a May 26, 2005 letter from Senators Christopher Dodd and Joe Biden encouraging a no vote on cloture for the nomination of John Bolton. Senate Democrats (including Senators Obama, Biden, Clinton, and Kerry) twice voted en bloc against cloture on the Bolton nomination, preventing his confirmation as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. They did so because they were denied certain information they deemed necessary to judge Bolton´s fitness for the position, and therefore acted "to protect the Senate´s constitutional power to advise and consent to nominations."

When Osama bin Laden was killed, President Obama and his top officials huddled before a video screen in the White House, releasing a photo depicting how deeply involved the commander-in-chief was. When video from a drone showed terrorists attacking the American legation in Bengahzi, Mr. Obama discussed the matter in the Oval Office with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and General Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, for 20 minutes. They then returned to the Pentagon. Mr. Obama never talked to them again, not while Ambassador Stevens was missing, not when

NEW DELHI: If ever India gets its hands on LeT chief Hafiz Saeed, the government will be able to watch his capture or killing live much the same way as US president Barrack Obama watched the take down of Osama Bin Laden by US Navy Seals sitting in his office. On a modernization spree post-26/11 attacks, the NSG has embarked on a project to create a super commando, what it calls the "future black cat". The project itself is inspired by the US Navy Seals´ Abbottabad operation to kill Osama Bin Laden.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will bring a child from Newtown, Conn. and her mother to the State of the Union, she told reporters Friday.* The names of the guests were not immediately available. At the same news conference, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said he’s bringing Carol Price, “who lost her son to gun violence many years ago, and her son’?s death actually stimulated the Maryland gun legislation many years ago to require trigger locks be sold with guns so you wouldn’?t have these awful tragedies.”

Open US Senate seats in 2014:
three that are up for grabs now

A Senate retirement is one of those wild cards in politics that can give the opposition party a shot at picking up a seat. Typically, incumbents enter the campaign season with name recognition, seniority, and a strong fundraising advantage. So an open seat can help level the field. But before retirements are even factored in, the 2014 campaign cycle represents an unusually strong chance for Republicans to gain Senate seats: Democrats currently hold 20 of the seats that will be up for election; Republicans, only 13. In 2016, the odds swing back to favor Democrats

Could an actor playing the White Rabbit be racist? Disneyland is being sued by Jason and Annelia Black, who say their African-American children were treated differently than white kids who approached the “Alice in Wonderland” character for hugs and pictures at the Anaheim, Calif., amusement park. According to Fox5SanDiego.com, 6-year-old Jason Black Jr. approached his favorite character at the park, but was rebuffed. Jason told the station, “I went to hug him, but he turned his back. It’s made me feel sad because I wanted to really hug him.” Older brother Elijah reportedly then tried to hold the rabbit’s hand

The president’s sequester – or the #Obamaquester, as we call it on Twitter – should be replaced with other, more responsible spending cuts
