Thomas Perez Should Be Blocked

American Spectator, by Quin Hillyer Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought- 3/12/2013 10:18:04 PM Post Reply

If President Obama thinks he can get away with appointing an obvious prevaricator to be Secretary of Labor – and a radical, race-baiting one at that – he has lost all touch with reality. Even a group as confused and fractious as the caucus of Senate Republicans is sure to find the collective backbone to block the (expected) appointment of Thomas Perez. As I described in detail last August, Perez is one of the most loathsome figures in the thoroughly loathsome political ranks of Obama’s Justice Department. He has led the administration’s racial scaremongering

MSNBC host Chris Matthews scoffed at a guest on Tuesday who suggested that conservatives were beginning to come around to the notion that President George W. Bush “mismanaged” the war in Iraq. Matthews fumed at the suggestion that the war was just poorly managed. He said that if former Vice President Dick Cheney was subjected to waterboarding, he would confess that even Bush administration officials knew they were justifying that war based on a false pretense. In an interview about the legacy of the Bush presidency for the Republican Party, Bush’s Brain author Wayne Slater told Matthews

Ryan sets stage for a budget

Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill are drafting radically different budget blueprints that offer little room for compromise, even as President Obama presses lawmakers to take another shot at a far-reaching agreement to tame the national debt. On Tuesday, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) rolled out a 10-year spending plan that would revive the most controversial prescriptions from last year’s GOP budget, including a partial privatization of Medicare and a repeal of the health-care law that is Obama’s signature policy achievement.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Faced with a backlash against their ban on gays, the Boy Scouts of America are surveying their members on a potential change in policy. A questionnaire distributed to 1.1 million adult Scouts uses fictional situations to discern where Scouting´s membership falls on questions of homosexuality, gays camping with children and gays in church leadership. It allows adult Scouts to indicate a range of feelings, from strong support to strong opposition to the ban on gays. Some questions are direct queries of the respondent´s feelings on homosexuality and children. "Bob is 15 years old,

Notorious priest at center of $10-
million church abuse payout

Los Angeles Times, by Harriet Ryan and Victoria Kim Original Article

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to pay nearly $10 million to four men who say they were molested by one of the region’s most notorious pedophile priests. The agreement brings to an end four lawsuits against the archdiocese involving Michael Baker, a charismatic parish priest accused of molesting at least 23 boys over three decades. The church has settled numerous cases brought by Baker’s victims in the past, but the $9.9-million settlement announced Tuesday is the first settlement since the January release of 12,000 pages of internal archdiocese records about abuse.

Senate Democrats are infighting on the eve of the release of Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray’s budget, Breitbart News has exclusively learned. Sen.

A Baucus spokesperson told Breitbart News that the Montana Democrat believes Murray’s decision to include what The Hill’s Erik Wasson describes as “reconciliation instructions

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday toughened a warning it made last year about the potential risks of azithromycin, a commonly used antibiotic that can cause changes in the electrical activity of the heart that may lead to a fatal irregular heart rhythm in some patients. The risks, which have been noted in the warning labels on the drug since March 2012, were quantified in greater detail in a study published last spring in the New England Journal of Medicine that was led by a professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University.

Obama ´Preschool For All´
Unlikely To Live Up To The Hype

Investor´s Business Daily, by Lance T. Izumi Original Article

An outline released by the White House contends that President Barack Obama´s universal preschool proposal will "improve quality and expand access to preschool" by, among other things, using federal funding incentives to require states "to meet quality benchmarks that are linked to better outcomes for children." There is justifiable skepticism, however, regarding the quality of those benchmarks and whether they are really linked to higher student results. In the initial wave of reaction to the president´s "Preschool for All" plan, many opponents have emphasized research, such as a recent HHS study of the federal Head Start preschool program,

Liberty: The New York State Supreme Court came down hard on the side of average New Yorkers, and against their out-of-control despot, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Strike one on the Soda Nazi. In a ruling stunning in its strong language and moral censure, Judge Milton Tingling struck down the Big Apple´s infamous ban on large sugary soft drinks on the brink of its implementation. The judge declared Mayor Mike "Big Gulp" Bloomberg´s soda diktat "unconstitutional," "arbitrary and capricious," and said it "would create an administrative Leviathan and violate the separation of powers doctrine." More than that, according to Judge Tingling,

A Ryan Reboot

The political class seems to be scandalized that Paul Ryan had the cheek Tuesday to propose another reform budget. Doesn´t the House Budget Chairman understand that the 2012 election settled every political question in President Obama´s favor? Er, no. The federal fisc is still a shambles—despite the tax increase on millionaires and billionaires that Mr. Obama said would solve everything and despite the modest sequester spending cuts he says are too painful to abide. Thus Mr. Ryan´s proposal for fiscal 2014 is still an important document, even if it has no chance of becoming law this year, because it

Ryan Shows How To Balance
The Budget Without Tax Hikes

Deficits: Rep. Paul Ryan´s latest budget plan shows that we can balance the budget in just a decade without any new taxes and still increase spending if we get rid of the massive cost of ObamaCare. Released on Tuesday, the House budget committee chairman´s plan achieves what seemed impossible only recently — a balanced budget in 10 years. Even more astounding, Ryan gets there without touching Social Security and by leaving Medicare virtually untouched over the next decade. And he does so while letting spending climb an average 3.4%. How? First, Ryan takes the current revenue forecast as a given.

CHICAGO — A 6-month old girl became the latest innocent victim of Chicago gang violence when a gunman ambushed her father while he was changing her diaper along a South Side street and unloaded round after round into the two of them. Jonylah Watkins died at a hospital Tuesday after surgeons did what they could to repair the damage from the five bullets that tore through her body during Monday´s attack in Woodlawn. Her father, Jonathan Watkins, was in serious but stable condition Tuesday after receiving treatment for wounds to his buttocks and side and a graze to his face

Pet owners listen up: You may want to start saving more money for veterinarian care this year. The reason goes all the way back to Washington and an unintended consequence from medical reform. Dog owner Lori Heiselman was surprised where her veterinarian posted a warning on Facebook. The notice read: “Because medical equipment and supplies will be going up in cost, that extra expense will have to passed on to the customers.”

On the eve of the annual conservative bash known as CPAC, the titans of the movement are gathering Wednesday night to determine who the best lawmakers, journalists, activists and staffers are in the business. Maybe the hardest choice for those attending the Weyrich Awards sponsored by Coalitions for America: who is the top Washington lawmaker, Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. Darrell Issa or Sen. Marco Rubio? The annual event is adding something new this year. It has renamed the award for congressional staffer of the year for Michael Schwartz, the former chief of staff to Sen. Tom Coburn

Bush spokesman Trey Newton told The Associated Press that Bush spoke with current Land Commissioner Jerry Paterson before formally declaring his candidacy Tuesday. Paterson has already announced he´s leaving the post to run for lieutenant governor. An attorney and consultant from Fort Worth and Spanish-speaker, Bush is considered a rising star among conservative Hispanics.

Michelle Obama will appear on her second Vogue cover this month. Our former colleague Robin Givhan reports that the first lady was photographed wearing an ensemble by Reed Krakoff — the designer whose royal-blue dress she wore at the official swearing-in this year. Photographer Annie Leibovitz — who also shot the first lady wearing a Michael Kors ball skirt and sweater – attempted to entice Obama into one of her trademark creative shoots she’s employed for so many Hollywood celebrities (i.e., reclining in a milk bath). No such luck. Unclear if Obama posed in her own clothes,

In my New York Times best-selling novel “Heroes Proved,” the president of the United States orders the execution of an American citizen in the United States by using precision munitions fired from a remotely piloted aircraft, or RPA — incorrectly referred to by our media as a drone. When the book came out last year, some critics derided the idea of a U.S. president issuing an executive order to kill Americans in our homeland as “over the top” and “unthinkable.” One even said the idea was “unfathomable.” Thanks to Sen. Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican, we now know

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran is planning to sue Hollywood over the Oscar-winning "Argo" because of the movie´s allegedly "unrealistic portrayal" of the country, Iranian media reported Tuesday. Several news outlets, including the pro-reform Shargh daily, said French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre is in Iran for talks with officials over how and where to file the lawsuit. She is also the lawyer for notorious Venezuelan-born terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, known as Carlos the Jackal. Following the 1979 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days, but six embassy staffers were sheltered by the Canadian ambassador.

RUSH: Paul Ryan is the Republican in the House who is the budget expert. He is in charge, essentially. He leads the team that writes the Republican budget, the Republican blueprint. In this case it is a document that seeks to balance the federal budget in ten years. This is something the Democrat Party has never proposed. They have not proposed a budget in four years. Obama has, but it´s never had a prayer. His budgets have been so unrealistic that Obama´s budgets have yet to get even one vote from any Democrat.

George P. Bush, the grandson and nephew of former presidents, made it official Tuesday and filed his paperwork to run for Texas land commissioner next year. This will be the first political race for Bush, 36, a lawyer and real estate investor. His grandfather is George H.W. Bush, the nation´s 41st president, and his uncle is George W. Bush, the 43rd president. In a video posted on YouTube, Bush mentioned only one member of his famous family: former first lady Barbara Bush. He heralded his grandmother — or "Ganny" as he called her — for stressing "the importance of public service."
