Jeb Bush immigration flip
could upend amnesty debate

Washington Examiner, by Byron York Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 3/5/2013 9:51:24 AM Post Reply

A new book by Jeb Bush in which the former Florida governor argues that millions of immigrants now in the United States illegally should never be eligible for American citizenship is likely to have a huge effect on the debate over immigration reform inside the Republican party. Bush, who would be a leading contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination if he chooses to run, is generally regarded within the GOP as a liberalizing voice on the issue of immigration. A longtime supporter of comprehensive immigration reform,

Obama´s Pelosi II Strategy

Old Washington hands have been scratching their heads about the start of President Obama´s second term, with its aggressive liberal priorities and attacks on Republicans. Whatever happened to governing? Well, the answer arrived this weekend as the Washington Post reported that Mr. Obama´s real plan for the next two years is returning Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker in 2014. "The goal is to flip the Republican-held House back to Democratic control, allowing Obama to push forward with a progressive agenda on gun control, immigration, climate change and the economy during his final two years in office,

One thing nearly everybody agrees upon is that the "sequester" is a silly sideshow to the real challenge facing America: unsustainable spending on entitlements. Ironies abound. Democrats, with large support from young people, tend to believe that we must build on the legacy bequeathed to us by the New Deal and the Great Society. Republicans, who marshaled considerable support from older voters in their so-far losing battle against ObamaCare, argue that we need to start fresh. Perhaps it´s time for both sides to consider an underappreciated fact of American life

Precisely five years ago today Hillary Clinton took a giant step toward almost winning the 2008 Democratic Party´s presidential nomination, knocking off this Barack Obama kid in Rhode Island, Texas and decisively in the crucial state of Ohio. Her wins ended a long string of Obama victories and raised questions about the durability of his ability to knock off the one-time odds-on favorite to succeed her husband in the White House. The Dem duel was one of the most hard-fought, bitter primary contests in recent history.

Regulation Nation: New federal

Newly proposed federal regulations aimed at the snack foods and drinks served in the nation´s schools could come with a hefty price tag. The American Action Forum estimates the regulations, which include caps on serving sizes and calorie counts, will cost schools $127 million and require more than 926,000 hours of paperwork. Sam Batkins, director of regulatory policy at the institute, says the proposals amount to yet another unfunded federal mandate for state and local governments, "at a time when many of their budgets are still struggling." The Food and Nutrition Service regulations would be administered by

New York´s homeless

The number of homeless people recorded in city shelters each night has topped 50,000 for the first time, a new report has found. An average of 50,135 people — including 21,034 children — slept in shelters each night in January, the Coalition for the Homeless said. The report released Monday said there are now more homeless people in the city than at any time since the Great Depression. Coalition spokesman Patrick Markee called the 50,000 figure a “shocking milestone”

We Have Ted Cruz´s List:
Harvard Law Really Is Littered

It turns out Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was correct when he claimed Harvard Law School had significant numbers of what might reasonably be called "communists." (snip)Dan McLaughlin, a law school classmate of Cruz, confirms that the senator "is absolutely right on the basic point here: there were multiples more Marxists on the Harvard Law faculty at the time than open Republicans." Does any of this mean that Cruz believes actual dues-paying, card-carrying members of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) dominate the Harvard Law faculty? No

Batman unmasked (and he´s no Bruce

The vigilante dressed as Batman who frogmarched a wanted man into a police station was today unmasked as a Chinese takeaway delivery driver. Stan Worby, 39, claims he was the caped crusader who stunned officers and passers-by when he swept into the station in a costume from the 1960s TV series before vanishing into the night. CCTV footage shows the slightly overweight superhero taking the fraud suspect to the front desk, where he calmly waited for the duty officer and then told him: ‘Here you are, it’s over to you now.’ The footage had earlier caused a frenzy on the

It looks like a home from the future. And now Bob Hope´s legendary Palm Springs mansion has gone on the market for an eye-watering $50m. It is the most famous property owned by the legendary comic, who was extremely passionate about architecture. The California home was designed by renowned Modern architect John Lautner especially for the funnyman and his beloved wife Dolores. The concrete, steel and glass house was built in 1979 and has about 22,000 square feet of living space, and its unique design is somewhat reminiscent of the USS Enterprise. Buyer´s will get to boldly go where

Why Obama might be
changing his mind on Syria

For the second time in under a year, we may witness a surge of outside arms into Syria. But how they got there this time round is a curious story. Some time last summer, shortly after a peace plan led by Kofi Annan fell apart, a group of CIA analysts told the White House that sending arms to Syria would not ‘materially’ change the military balance there. President Obama clearly agreed, because he then vetoed a plan--one that had the support of all of his top national security officials--for the US to give weapons to selected rebels.[Snip]Six months on

What’s Jeb Bush up to?

Washington Post, by Chris Cillizza and Sean Sullivan Original Article

When Jeb Bush speaks, people — especially Republicans — listen. And so, it’s worth examining Bush’s surprisingly newsy appearance on the “Today” show Monday in which the former Florida governor addressed immigration, the budget fight and his own future political aspirations. Yes, Bush was ostensibly on the show to promote his new book. But, by weighing in on immigration (he said no longer supports a path to citizenship, though in a later interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, he said that he could support one under the right circumstances)

The insider-account of the damaging divisions between the White House and the State Department comes as diplomats around the world wait to see if John Kerry, the new US secretary of state, can persuade Mr Obama to greater engagement on Syria, Egypt and the wider Middle East. Vali Nasr, a university professor who was seconded in 2009 to work with Richard Holbrooke, Mr Obama´s special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, records his profound disillusion at how a "Berlin Wall" of domestic-focused advisers was erected to protect Mr Obama.

A mystery in the sky over New York City on Monday got one commercial airline pilot’s attention. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a report from the pilot, who claims he saw an unmanned or remote-controlled aircraft while on his final approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport. The pilot, who was at the controls of Alitalia Flight AZA 60, a Boeing 777, spotted what may have been a drone about four to five miles southeast of the airport at an altitude of 1,500 feet while on final approach to Runway 31 Right at about 1:15 p.m.

Young Adults Retreat
From Piling Up Debt

Young people are racking up larger amounts of student debt than ever before, but fresh data suggest they are becoming warier of borrowing in general: Total debt among young adults dropped in the last decade to the lowest level in 15 years. A typical young U.S. household—defined as one led by someone under age 35—had $15,000 in total debt in 2010, down from $18,000 in 2001 and the lowest since 1995, according to a recent Pew Research Center report and government data. (Snip)In addition, fewer young adults carried credit-card balances and 22% didn´t have any debt at all in 2010

"What we´ve learned through the course of this program is that this is really not a sensible way for the healthcare system to be run." That was Gary Cohen, director of the Department of Health and Human Services´ Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, talking. He was specifically responding to the apparently surprising need to halt enrollments in a program designed as a temporary bridge for people with preexisting conditions who couldn´t wait until the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) fully kicks in next year.

The Sequester Amnesty

American Spectator, by Jed Babbin Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter- 3/5/2013 6:10:24 AM Post Reply

Because the word “sequester” sounds more like a bronchial infection than a governmental disaster, President Obama failed to terrorize House Republicans into raising taxes in order to avoid it. They tried everything they could think of to scare us. We’d have meat shortages because federal inspectors would be laid off, long lines at airport security stations would get longer because the TSA molesters would be cut back. Education Secretary Arne Duncan earned four “Pinocchios” from the Washington Post’s Fact Checker column for brazenly lying about teachers he said were already being laid off in West Virginia.

State: No Environmental Reason

War On Energy: In yet another clean bill of health, the State Department´s draft review says the pipeline from Canada will not affect global warming or harm aquifers it crosses. But it will create jobs and economic growth. The U.S. State Department´s second Keystone XL supplemental environmental impact statement, which represents the project´s fourth environmental review, finds the pipeline would not accelerate global greenhouse gas emissions or significantly harm the natural habitats along its route. This sent the administration´s environmentalist base into spasms of hysteria. Greenies had warned that the extraction of crude

In second term, Obama

In the last campaign, many Democrats took offense when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said his No. 1 priority was to make Barack Obama a one-term president. Some, including Obama himself, accused McConnell of making that vow when Obama first came to office, suggesting the Republican never even gave the new Democratic president a chance. In fact, McConnell said it in October 2010, after the stimulus, after Obamacare, and just before midterm elections, in which Republicans scored big gains. But in any event, Democrats charged McConnell with bad faith and obstructionism. How could a president deal with an opposition leader

Two Navy sailors slated for heroes’ burials at Arlington National Cemetery have waited a century and a half for the honor. The men were among the crew members who perished aboard the legendary Union battleship the USS Monitor, which fought an epic Civil War battle with Confederate vessel The Merrimack in the first battle between two ironclad ships in the Battle of Hampton Roads, on March 9, 1862. Nine months later, the Monitor sank in rough seas off of Cape Hatteras, where it was discovered in 1973. Two skeletons and the tattered remains of their uniforms were discovered in the rusted hulk
