(Also see: Inspector General Report on Racialist Dysfunction inside DOJ.) It took a few years, but the report issued this week by the DOJ inspector general confirms reporting (here) by PJ Media: the powerful DOJ Voting Section ran an ideologically charged attorney recruitment and hiring effort that deliberately sought left-leaning lawyers. Sources familiar with the thinking of Civil Rights Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez report that he and others in the department believe the damning inspector general report actually vindicates the attorney hiring decisions over the last few

A lesbian bondage expert and a campus-wide condom scavenger hunt are among the activities planned for The University of Tennessee’s first-ever “Sex Week” – an event paid for in-part by student fees. Sex Week is sponsored by the university’s Sexual Empowerment and Awareness at Tennessee club. The six-day event is expected to cost nearly $20,000 – covered in part by university grants, student fees and contributions from academic departments. University of Tennessee spokeswoman Karen Simpson confirmed to Fox News that the conference is being funded by student fees and university money.

Health Care Law Projected to
Add $6.2 Trillion to U.S. Deficit

American Magazine, by Christopher J. Conover Original Article

Posted By: Eleanor Bartow- 3/14/2013 2:17:52 PM Post Reply

It turns out President Obama was right when he said his health care law wouldn´t add one dime to the federal deficit. Figures from the Government Accountability Office suggest that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will in fact add 62 trillion dimes over the next 75 years. (To give that $6.2 trillion some perspective, our national debt is currently $16.7 trillion.) Sometimes called the congressional watchdog, the GAO is the official auditor for the U.S. Congress. GAO is the agency that designated Medicare and Medicaid as high-risk programs because they are particularly vulnerable to fraud, waste, abuse, and improper payments. And it is likewise the agency that ultimately will be tasked with identifying all the bureaucratic snafus associated with Obamacare as it continues to roll out, affecting more and more Americans.

WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Republicans are “at war” with their “own government” by trying to “shrink” its role in society. Pelosi added that it is impossible for Congress to balance the federal budget in one decade, as House Republicans have proposed. “We don’t want any more government than we need, but we respect the public role, in public-private partnerships, in putting a referee on the field, a cop on — a referee for — whether it’s to monitor clean air, clean water, food safety, a cop on the beat for the protection

Pope Francis: Jesuit to the Rescue

If you have a tough job to do, hire a Jesuit. Is that what the College of Cardinals were thinking when they selected Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina to be the next pope? Probably not, but they might have. Bergoglio, who will go by the name Francis I, is the first Jesuit to be selected as Pontiff. Good move. As one who was educated by the Jesuits – high school and university (Georgetown) – I am partial to this decision. Right now the Catholic Church is reeling from a multitude of destructive forces (mainly of its own doing),

Graham gets primary support

South Carolina’s embattled Sen. Lindsey Graham is getting some home-state aid from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He’s also getting support from one of President George W. Bush’s cabinet secretaries, Carlos Gutierrez, whose business-backed group, Republicans for Immigration Reform, launched a $60,000 TV ad campaign to help Graham get through the GOP’s 2014 primary. The support is being sent because Graham is drawing criticism for his effort to pass a controversial immigration bill that would provide a path for 11 million illegal immigrants to become citizens, and eventually help them bring their relatives into the country.

Obama administration acknowledges

WASHINGTON - The Obama administration reversed itself Thursday, acknowledging to Congress that it had, in fact, released more than 2,000 illegal immigrants from immigration jails due to budget constraints during three weeks in February. The director of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, John Morton, said his agency had released 2,228 illegal immigrants during that period for what he called "solely budgetary reasons." The figure was significantly higher than the "few hundred" immigrants the Obama administration had publicly acknowledged were released under the budget-savings process. He testified during a hearing by a House appropriations subcommittee.

President Obama issued a quick criticism about former Dick Cheney earlier this week, telling Democratic senators worried about administration secrecy over drone usage not to worry — he’s not like the former vice president. “This is not Dick Cheney we’re talking about here,” Mr. Obama was quoted as saying by two Democratic senators who requested anonymity and who attended the private meeting, Politico reported. The president’s comments came in this context: Sen. Jay Rockefeller confronted the president during a closed-door session with senators on Tuesday about

Barack Obama’s long-term commitment to directly engaging Capitol Hill remains deeply in doubt — but there’s little doubt about one of the the unlikely prime movers behind Obama’s sudden, second-term schmooze offensive: It’s Obama’s new chief of staff Denis McDonough. McDonough — loyal, laconic, militantly under-the-radar, a former college defensive back — seems like the poster boy for Obama insularity, a clean-cut inside player with few friends in the media, a longtime top-clearance National Security Council staffer prone to joking about killing anybody who leaks White House secrets. Yet in an administration conspicuously short on bridge builders, the

Pope Francis has been on the job less than a day, but House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi already is a big fan. The California Democrat and practicing Catholic opened her weekly Capitol news conference Thursday by sharing her excitement with reporters over the papal election a day earlier. She said she was particularly pleased the new pope took his papal name in honor of St. Francis of Assisi — the patron saint of the lawmaker’s hometown, San Francisco. “It’s very exciting. I’m just so thrilled,” she said. “I couldn’t read enough (about the papal election).

The Obama administration is planning new cuts to Medicare, a federal regulatory filing reveals, cuts that could mean higher premiums or seniors losing their coverage altogether. The new cuts come in the form of a planned reduction in the reimbursement rates the government pays to insurance companies that operate Medicare Advantage plans, which are services administered by private for-profit or non-profit providers that offer additional services than can be found in traditional Medicare. In a Feb. 15 regulatory filing, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the surprised rate cuts of 2.3 percent –

The swift election of Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergoglio, S.J., as bishop of Rome is replete with good news — and not a little irony. To reverse the postmodern batting order, let’s begin with the good news. A true man of God. The wheelchair-bound beggar at the corner of Via della Conciliazione and Via dell’Erba this morning had a keen insight into his new bishop: “Sono molto contento; e una profeta” (“I’m very happy; he’s a prophet”).

After the election of Pope Francis I on Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden issued a statement talking about the importance of Catholicism to him personally and how much he is looking forward to working with the pope. As vice president, Biden has advanced causes directly contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church--favoring, for example, the legalized killing of children in the womb and legalized same-sex marriage. "Jill and I want to offer our congratulations to His Holiness Pope Francis, and extend our prayers as he takes on this holy responsibility," said Biden.

What if the contest over the future of the GOP is not between Tea Party ideologues and moderate establishment-types? What if the real contest is between Republicans who care about winning elections and profiteers who care about making consulting fees off the political process? I raised this very possibility in a FoxNews.com piece last December. I was inspired to write the piece after reading that Former House Republican Leader Dick Armey was paid over $8 Million to leave his position as head of the Tea Party Group, “FreedomWorks.”

On Wednesday night, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) electrified the crowd at the Coalitions for America’s Weyrich Awards Dinner, named after founder Paul Weyrich. He led off his speech with a dismissive reference to Senator John McCain’s characterization of him as a “wacko bird.” Looking at the crowd, Cruz said, “Birds of a feather flock together.” Cruz led off with a full-on critique of the President’s public relations blitz over sequestration. “2.4 percent cuts were made from your meals,” he joked. He referenced the “emaciated face” of conservative megadonor Foster Friess.

Peter Viereck reintroduced conservatism to modern America in 1949 with his classic Conservatism Revisited. “This was the book,” wrote George Nash in his seminal history of 20th-century conservative thought, “which, more than any other of the early postwar era, created the new conservatism as a self-conscious intellectual force.” Viereck’s conservatism was pre-political, “more contemplative than activist.” In fact, he believed that to identify conservatism primarily in political terms would be self-defeating. He opposed the notion of a “conservative movement” before it even got off the ground.

Remember the days when an internship involved working strange hours, fetching coffee and making copies -- for free, or maybe minimum wage? Those days are over, if you’re lucky enough to snag one with the federal government. Despite this new season of sequestration, a host of federal agencies continue to offer high-paying internships, often requiring applicants have little more than a mediocre GPA and a year of college under their belt. A cursory search Wednesday on the USA Jobs federal employment website showed 84 open internships and student programs posted in the last 10 days. The U.S. Department

Census Shows Immigration Helps,

Washington – As the evidence mounts for the increasing importance of U.S. foreign-born residents and lawmakers mull comprehensive immigration reform, Census data suggest that a record number of U.S. counties — more than 1 in 3 — are now dying off. The counties have been hit by an aging population and weakened local economies that are spurring young adults to seek jobs and build families elsewhere. New 2012 census estimates released Thursday highlight the population shifts as the U.S. encounters its most sluggish growth levels since the Great Depression. The findings also reflect the

It’s like watching the Disney princesses become dragons: seeing starlets like Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens “prove” they’re mature by dabbling in drugs and booze while stripping down for steamy sex scenes. “Spring Breakers,” rated R for sex, drugs, language, nudity, and violence, danced with the absurd by showcasing a threesome and having one star perform fellatio on a gun barrel. The movie, to be released Friday, March 15, has emerged as a kind of “violent pop song,” or an elongated music video, according to director Harmony Korine. In the film, four college girls robbed
