Hartford Courant Urges Less
Secrecy of Newtown Details

Breitbart´s Big Journalism, by Dr. Susan Berry Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 3/5/2013 10:42:09 AM Post Reply

An editorial in the Hartford Courant last Wednesday states that Connecticut “lawmakers, the judiciary and law enforcement” are engaging in unusually heightened secrecy with regard to details of the tragic Sandy Hook shootings on Dec. 14 in Newtown, Connecticut. The editorial argues that the public deserves to have questions answered about the horrific shooting, and the legislature needs the information as it is making policy decisions in reaction to the event. Awful as the details are, secrecy is a mistake. It ignites public worry. It prevents ordinary people who might know critical details from becoming law enforcement allies.

Tucker Carlson: ‘The
Post’s piece is wrong’

Daily Caller Editor-in-Chief Tucker Carlson said this morning of the conflicting news accounts published by his site and the Washington Post: “The Post’s piece is wrong,” he told the Erik Wemple Blog early this morning. Yesterday afternoon The Post’s Carol Leonnig and Ernesto Londoño reported that an escort in the Dominican Republic had recanted earlier claims made in a videotaped interview with the Daily Caller that New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez (D) had paid her to have sex with him. The woman has never met the senator, reported The Post, based on “court documents and two people

Don’t Need this Dirty Oil’

Representative Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) – the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee – said that America does not need the “dirty oil” that would be imported through the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, which received long-awaited favorable environmental review from the U.S. government. “We don’t need this dirty oil. To stop climate change and the destructive storms, droughts, floods, and wildfires that we are already experiencing, we should be investing in clean energy, not building a pipeline that will speed the exploitation of Canada’s highly polluting tar sands,”

TSA Sealed $50-Million Sequester-
Eve Deal to Buy New Uniforms

The impending sequester did not prevent the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from acting in late February to seal a $50-million deal to purchase new uniforms for its agents--uniforms that will be partly manufactured in Mexico. Soon after this new investment in TSA uniforms, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned Americans that the lines are already lengthening at airports due to the sequester. "We are already seeing the effect on the ports of entry, the big airports for example," Napolitano told Politico on Monday. "Some of them had very long lines this weekend."

Feds keep hiring with sequesters

The sequester cuts are now officially in place, but many government agencies appear to be hiring freely anyway. The U.S. Forest Service on Monday posted help-wanted ads for a few good men and women to work as “recreation aides” this summer, the Internal Revenue Service advertised for an office secretary in Maryland, the U.S. Mint wanted 24 people to help press coins, and the Agriculture Department said it needs three “insect production workers” to help grow bollworms in Phoenix. Monday marked the first regular workday under sequestration, and federal agencies posted more than 400 job ads by 6 p.m.

Dems say sequester will hurt
blacks, women more than others

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus said Monday night that the $85 billion in cuts to federal spending, known as the sequester, will disproportionately affect blacks and other minorities, in part because they are more likely to work for the government. "Sequestration will impact everyone, but it will have a particularly harmful effect on communities of color who were hit first and worst by the great recession, and have yet to significantly feel the effects of the recovery," Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) said Monday. "Federal budget cuts under sequestration would quickly mean cuts to federal, state and local

Pope Benedict XVI, Sarah Palin, Roberto
Duran and other big-name quitters who
walked away for better or worse

Pope Benedict XVI shocked the world recently when he announced that he was resigning due to age and health problems. Some people said popes aren´t allowed to retire. Some praised him for admitting he was not able to continue and making room for someone else. Quitting is controversial. Being a quitter is not something much admired. Unless you quit smoking. Some people quit for love, others for money. Some people are forced to quit while others quit on their own. Some can´t stop quitting because it gets them attention -- for a while.

$1.5 million on a new type of

Defense Department waste

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Senator Tom Coburn blasting the Defense Department over wasteful spending. He insists there are plenty of expenses to cut from the defense budget without hurting the military. For instance, $1 million to send a spaceship to another galaxy, $1.5 million to cook up a new type of beef jerky, and why spend any amount of money on a 46-minute video production called "Grill It Safe" featuring grill sergeants showing off their own recipes. Now, we spoke with

Bill introduced to make Israel
‘major strategic ally’ - Thread Closed

JTA, by Staff Original Article

Washington-A Republican and a Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives introduced legislation that would make Israel a "major strategic ally," a one of a kind designation. The bill, introduced Monday by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) and Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), is timed for the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, and 13,000 activists are expected to lobby for it and for Iran-related bills on Tuesday. The "major strategic ally" bill codifies a number of existing facets of the relationship, including annual defense assistance and cooperation on missile defense, energy research and cyber security.

Brit Hume: President Obama needs

FOX News senior political analyst Brit Hume was sharply critical of President Obama’s lack of leadership during the fights over the sequestration cuts, calling his actions “very unusual.” “The president seems prepared to let the public suffer almost as much as possible, as long as he can blame somebody else. This is not what we expect of presidents,” Hume said. “Presidents, in the end, are supposed to be the people who put their big boy pants and prepare to shoulder the responsibility. And if they’re criticized for using that responsibility, or authority, so be it.

ObamaCare and the ´RobertsTax´

American Thinker, by Jon N. Hall Original Article

One of the necessary features of any law is enforcement. Taxes are laws, and if you don´t pay your taxes, the government swoops down on you like a raptor on a rodent. You then must either pay up or prove that you don´t owe the money the government says you owe. Otherwise, government can garnish your wages, take your house, or maybe even put you in prison. None of that applies to the "tax" that Chief Justice John Roberts "discovered" in the Affordable Care Act, which the legislation had mistakenly labeled a "penalty" for noncompliance

Jeb Bush immigration flip

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,

Greatest generation the most entitled

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

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

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

This is an edited version of the interview with Lars Hedegaard that took place on Dennis Prager´s nationally syndicated radio show. (Snip) LH: I´m in Europe somewhere. DP: The reason you can´t tell is that there was an attempt to murder you just a few weeks ago. A man came to your door, speaking perfect Danish. Tell us what happened. LH: There was a buzz on my door phone, and a and a man said he had a package for me, in accent-free Danish. He was, I´m certain, an immigrant from some Arab country or possibly Pakistan.
