Obama: Love For The
Rich Unites Republicans

Breitbart´s Big Government, by Ben Shapiro Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought- 2/21/2013 10:34:28 PM Post Reply

On Thursday, President Barack Obama doubled down on his usual tactic of bullying his opposition rather than negotiating with them. Speaking to race baiter extraordinaire and MSNBC host Al “Resist We Much” Sharpton, Obama explained that Republicans don’t oppose tax increases because they think it will hurt the economy, destroy jobs, and prevent investment in business. No, said our uniter president, they do it because they hate poor people and love the rich: My sense is that their basic view is that nothing is important enough to raise taxes on wealthy individuals or corporations, and they would rather see

Hagel Declined to Sign Schumer
Letter in 2007 Asking Arab
Allies to Recognize Israel

Breitbart´s Big Peace, by Joel B. Pollak Original Article

Former Sen. Chuck Hagel declined to sign a letter circulated by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in 2007 calling upon then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to press Arab allies of the U.S. to recognize Israel’s right to exist “and not use such recognition as a bargaining chip for future Israeli concessions.” Seventy-nine Senators eventually signed the letter, which was sponsored by Schumer and by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The Schumer-Graham letter “concerning the Responsibilities of Friendly Arab States” has not, apparently, been cited yet in the debate over Hagel’s potential confirmation as Secretary of Defense. The letter

WASHINGTON — Hollywood actor and political activist Danny Glover, star of the “Lethal Weapon” films with Mel Gibson, told The Daily Caller that Congress should “abolish guns” in the U.S. “I don’t own a gun and definitely not only Gun Control, we should abolish guns, the personal guns. That’s how far I’m willing to go,” Glover told TheDC at a TransAfrica Forum benefit event on Wednesday night. “There are many people in this country who do not have guns, who don’t own guns and are still under the same, are still susceptible to being burglarized or anything,

Immigration — the
lesser of two evils

Washington Post, by Charles Krauthammer Original Article

The president suggested he would hold off introducing his own immigration bill as long as bipartisan Senate negotiations were proceeding apace — until his own immigration bill mysteriously leaked precisely as bipartisan Senate negotiations were proceeding apace. A naked political maneuver and a blunt warning to Republicans: Finish that immigration deal in Congress, or I’ll propose something I know you can’t accept — and flog the issue mercilessly next year to win back the House. John McCain responded (correctly) that President Obama was creating a “cudgel” to gain “political advantage in the next election.” Marco Rubio, a chief architect

Additional clips of a United States Department of Agriculture sensitivity training class feature USDA employees being told to recite, “If we work for a federal agency, we’ve discriminated in the past.” The clips, released by the conservative government accountability group Judicial Watch Thursday evening, are the second installation of revealing footage obtained by a Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) request the organization made last May. According to Judicial Watch, the documents reveal the sensitivity training was delivered to USDA employees at least 16 times last year in an attempt to boost employees’ “emotional intelligence.”

Nobody needs an AR-15. That is, unless you are using that weapon to protect a repeatedly vandalized mural of President Barack Obama. On Wednesday, MSNBC host Martin Bashir interviewed a Texas businessman who has had to continually repaint a mural of the president which he often finds has been defaced by local residents. During the interview, Bashir pointed out that the businessman is the owner of an assault rifle and asked jovially if he was prepared to use it to defend his property – namely, the mural. On Wednesday, Marcus Davis, owner of a Houston-based diner,

Rush Limbaugh opened his show this afternoon proclaiming that for the first time in his career, he was ashamed of his country. Why? Limbaugh explained that both political parties in Washington refused to stop spending and used alarmist scare tactics every time anyone proposed cuts to government programs. "To be watching all of this, to have my intelligence – all of us – to have our common sense and intelligence insulted the way it is….it just makes me ashamed," Limbaugh explained, "Seriously man, here we get worked up over 44 billion dollars – that’s the total amount of money

Chicago´s richest residents, surveyed in a new study about how the wealthy influence politics, regularly contacted top Obama White House aides and federal officials for favors for themselves and clients, including banks and land developers, according to a new report. A groundbreaking survey of Chicago´s top 1 percent, those worth an average of $14 million and who earned over $1 million annually, said that of those who had talked to administration and federal officials, 44 percent "acknowledged a focus on fairly narrow economic self interest." The rest were pushing for action on broader matters "touching on the common good."

Author Steve Brill claims that the New Republic magazine hired Democratic lobbyist "media specialist" Anita Dunn to help secure an Oval Office interview with President Barack Obama.

Trenton — A Senate panel today advanced legislation to crackdown on cigarette smuggling, a problem with deep roots in New Jersey, and to increase penalties for importing, selling, distributing, transporting or possessing with intent to sell counterfeit cigarettes.(Snip) A report by the state Treasury Department completed in 2008, and made public in 2011, found about 40 percent of all cigarettes smoked in New Jersey were smuggled illegally, resulting in a loss of more than $500 million in uncollected tax revenue each year. The percentage was found to be the worst of any state, largely because of New Jersey´s relatively high

Obama on Al Sharpton: It’s

President Obama gave a radio interview with Al Sharpton today, and blamed Republicans for the frightening post-sequestration world he described. “We could see mental health services affected, head start slots taken away… it’s going to have an effect on cutting back on things like meat inspections, or folks at our airpoirts, which means that airport lines may be longer,” Obama said. “Whether or not we can move Republicans to do the right thing is something we’re still trying to gauge.” The Republican party is united by its stubborn opposition to raising taxes on the wealthy, the president told Sharpton.

Obama is winning his power
struggle with Congress

WASHINGTON — Many conservatives believe that President Obama is a star protégé of Saul Alinsky, the revolutionary who wrote Rules for Radicals. Alinsky began that book, “The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.” That certainly fits Obama’s obsession with sticking it to the rich even though it will have as much of an impact on trillion-dollar annual deficits as a mosquito sucking on an elephant. But it is not about the money; it’s about power.

JOLIET, IL - Drew Peterson — the swaggering Chicago-area policeman who gained notoriety after his fourth wife vanished — lost his characteristic cool in court Thursday, screaming out his innocence before a judge sentenced him to 38 years in prison for the murder of a previous wife. "I did not kill Kathleen!" Peterson shouted, leaning into a courtroom microphone and emphasizing each of the five words. Without missing a beat, his dead wife´s sister, Susan Doman, shouted back, "Yes, you did! You liar!" before the judge ordered sheriff´s deputies to remove her from the courtroom.

The Obama administration is refusing to hand over full details of its targeted killing programme in order to ensure John Brennan takes up his post as head of the CIA, according to a report. The White House is said to be considering handing over details of the Benghazi scandal to Republicans rather than give up the secrets of its drone strikes. The move is infuriating Democrats who have long called for full disclosure of classified legal memos in relation to targeted killings. nstead President Obama seems content to risk their wrath to win more support for Mr Brennan.

Paula Broadwell, the one-time mistress of CIA Director David Petraeus, has had her scheduled promotion revoked by the Army according to a Defense Department official. Broadwell, a major in the Army reserves, had been approved for promotion to lieutenant colonel, but that was prior to last November´s revelations that she and Petraeus had been conducting an illicit affair. In the wake of the scandal, Broadwell is under investigation by the Army for having classified information in her home without permission.

The Washington Post (per Jason Horowitz) makes John McCain an offer he’s unlikely to refuse and, in fact, has already accepted: McCain’s most probable avenue back to the land of mavericks and media adulation runs through immigration reform. The Republican base may hate him for it, but the country and a GOP whose unpopularity with Hispanic voters has prompted an existential crisis may end up owing him, as they say in Senate parlance, a debt of gratitude. That’s a shameless piece of advocacy journalism even taking into account that it appears in the Style section of

John Brennan, President Obama’s nominee for CIA director, does not believe we are at war with jihadists because “jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam, meaning to purify oneself or one’s community, and there’s nothing holy, legitimate, or Islamic about murdering innocent men and women.” On May 26, 2010, speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Mr. Brennan said, “Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists.” That is Mr. Brennan’s view, but how about the view of the Islamist enemies who are fighting us?

The District of Columbia seems not to want the public to know what it did — if anything — while investigating NBC News’ David Gregory for possession of an illegal 30-round magazine. The police refuse to turn over the public documents in the case, and the city council is allowing them to stonewall. Mr. Gregory wielded the “high capacity” magazine on his Dec. 23 “Meet the Press” show. Afterwards, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said that it had been asked by NBC if the multi-million dollar TV anchor could possess the illegal component and refused him. The police

Marana, Ariz.-The snow is gone from the Match Play Championship, and so are Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods. In a stunning conclusion Thursday, Shane Lowry made a 4-foot par putt on the 18th hole to eliminate McIlroy in the opening round of golf´s most unpredictable tournament. It was the third time in the last four years the No. 1 seed went home after one round. Moments later, Charles Howell III beat the second-seeded Woods on the 17th hole. Howell nearly holed a wedge for birdie on the 16th and made a 25-foot birdie on the 16th to seize control.

Marana, Arizona - Three-times winner Tiger Woods was knocked out in the first round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship on Thursday, losing 2&1 to fellow American Charles Howell III. Woods never led but got back to all square with four holes to play before Howell birdied the 15th and 16th to regain control. Howell almost holed out with his approach at the par-15th, his ball settling just inches from the cup, then sank a 24-footer at the par-three 16th to go 2up. Both players parred the 17th in fading daylight at Dove Mountain as Woods was eliminated

In a 2009 editorial we noted that units of China´s armed forces, whom we dubbed its "Cybertooth Tigers" were developing capabilities to penetrate and potentially disrupt U.S. computer systems as part of the People´s Liberation Army´s focus on what is known as "asymmetrical" warfare, specifically cyber-warfare.
