Donald Trump Just Gave A
Nonsensical Speech, And Even
Conservatives Were Dumbstruck

Business Insider, by Brett LoGiurato Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter- 3/16/2013 5:51:28 AM Post Reply

Donald Trump gave his highly anticipated speech at CPAC Friday morning, and all anyone is talking about now is how confusing and terrible it was. Trump said he was upset that President Barack Obama did not return his calls about a free ballroom he offered to build. He said that he offered between $50 million and $100 million to the White House to build it but he never heard back. He also made a strange statement about how he wants the U.S. to go back to Iraq to take some oil.

WASHINGTON - Where will President Barack Obama put his presidential library? Four years from the end of Obama´s presidency, Chicago and Honolulu are ramping up major campaigns to build the center that will house the 44th president´s records. Universities and community groups in Hawaii and Illinois are drafting plans and staking out locations. Obama won´t likely announce a decision soon, but the site he chooses will house the monument to his historic presidency and become an instrument to continue his legacy. At the University of Chicago, where Obama once taught, top officials with close ties to the White House

The Unions vs. Obamacare

"I heard [Obama] say, ‘If you like your health plan, you can keep it,’?” John Wilhelm, chairman of Unite Here Health, representing 260,000 union workers, recently told the Wall Street Journal. “If I’m wrong, and the president does not intend to keep his word, I would have severe second thoughts about the law.” Besides Wilhelm, some of the nation’s largest union bosses have taken to publicly criticizing the Affordable Care Act. Of course, keeping your health care plan, like many Obama-care promises, has turned out to be demonstrably untrue.

The NYPD is running criminal checks on domestic-violence victims so cops can have leverage if the accuser gets cold feet about pressing charges, a police source told The Post yesterday. “You’re trying to close the case, but your complainant becomes uncooperative,” the source said. “Your supervisor says, ‘Get her in here, and remind her that she has an open warrant,’ ” the source said. “They want us to use that as leverage to force them to remain cooperative.” The Post yesterday revealed that Chief of Detectives Phil Pulaski’s March 5 memo ordered cops to run criminal background checks —

Thank God Pope Francis Is a Jesuit

If “any congregation of men could merit eternal perdition on earth and in hell,” it is the “Company of Loyola.” So wrote John Adams to Thomas Jefferson in 1816. By this date, the Jesuits (“the Company of Loyola”) had grown accustomed to such venomous denunciations. Since their official founding in 1540 they had been falsely accused of killing an impressive number of monarchs, of seducing wealthy widows in every corner of the globe, and, as one disgruntled Scottish Protestant put it in 1615, of working ferociously hard “to make the pope the lord of all the earth.”

The U.S. Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC, pronounced: JAY-sock) is best known for the Osama bin Laden raid. But it has long served as the president´s secret army, planning and executing the most dangerous, highly classified missions of the United States military. In 2009, its snipers rescued an American ship captain held captive by Somali pirates. In 2003, JSOC hunted down and captured Saddam Hussein near Tikrit, Iraq. In 1993, two Delta snipers earned posthumous Congressional Medals of Honor for actions during the Battle of Mogadishu (a JSOC operation portrayed in Black Hawk Down).

Jindal at CPAC: Be the Party of More

I must confess to being a longtime fan of Gov. Bobby Jindal, having written to defend him even in his darkest hour— the day after his State of the Union response. He’s a smart guy who’s overcome cultural and political obstacles to be elected a second-term governor Louisiana with 66 percent of the vote in a race with nine opponents. But mostly I like that he’s demonstrably made Louisiana a better place to live and work. I wish he’d talked more about that today. Jindal’s speech to CPAC was not a stemwinder or designed to be a crowd pleaser.

Bloomberg’s Soda Folly

National Review Online, by Rich Lowry Original Article

Posted By: Pluperfect- 3/16/2013 4:58:32 AM Post Reply

New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ban on large-size sugary drinks at certain establishments, colloquially known as the soda ban, is a lesson in how to make your cause look ridiculous. Bloomberg hoped the ban would spark a nationwide crackdown on sugary beverages. Instead, it became the subject of widespread mockery, inspired an instant-classic New York Post headline (“Soda Jerk”), and got struck down by a New York judge this week as “arbitrary and capricious.” You could say that Bloomberg jumped the shark, except shark-jumping is associated with undue health risks that may burden public hospitals in the vicinities

In the past few weeks, militant jihadism has won two major propaganda coups. First, Al Gore, the world´s most famous critic of dirty oil, sold his "progressive network" Current Media, LLC, to the oil sheikhs of Qatar for a reported $500 million. Second, Naomi Wolf, renowned author of Vagina: A New Biography and other top feminist works, sold her soul to the same Islamist patriarchy. The price of Naomi´s soul (possibly including other appendages) has not yet been named. As one wag put it, Naomi will now be the official "on-air Jihadess" of the biggest Islamist propaganda network on the planet.

Maryland lawmakers approved a measure abolishing the death penalty on Friday and sent the bill to Gov. Martin O´Malley, who has long supported banning capital punishment.

Eighteen Democrats joined 38 Republicans to vote against it. The vote represented a major win for the Democratic governor, who has pushed for the death penalty´s repeal for five years. He is also widely believed to be weighing a presidential bid in 2016.

Two bills that would increase restrictions on North Dakota’s abortion laws are headed to the governor’s desk after passage by the Senate on Friday. If signed, the bills would create some of the toughest abortion laws in the nation. House Bill 1305 would make it a Class A misdemeanor for a physician to willingly perform an abortion based specifically on gender or on genetic abnormalities. House Bill 1456 requires a physician to determine whether there’s a detectable heartbeat prior to performing an abortion. A physician who willingly performs an abortion after the detection of a heartbeat could be subject

New Orleans police said Friday they are bewildered as to why three young men brutally beat a stranger on a Marigny street corner last weekend, but did not rob him. The lead detective on the case said the assailants, armed with a bottle, had "ample opportunity" to rob the victim, who can be seen on surveillance footage lying immobilized on the ground during much of the attack. The victim, who was left severely injured and his face disfigured, still had his cell phone and cash after the beating, police said. "I´ve never had an incident like this. Usually there´s a reason

Colorado’s magazine-limit bill further

Colorado Democratic Rep. Rhonda Fields, whose bill to ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds ignited an ongoing firestorm of protest and which could cost the state jobs if a manufacturer of such equipment makes good on its promise to move to another state, didn’t realize that her bill would outlaw practically every magazine currently for sale in the state. That’s because the bill specifies that magazines that can be “readily converted” to hold more than 15 bullets will also be outlawed. Practically every magazine on the market can be easily converted with readily available

North Korea’s deployment of a new road-mobile missile that can hit the United States prompted the Pentagon on Friday to add more ground-based anti-missile interceptors to bases in Alaska and California, senior defense and military officials said on Friday. Adm. James Winnefeld, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at the Pentagon that North Korea’s new, road-mobile KN-08 ICBM has emerged as a threat “a little bit faster than we expected.” “We believe the KN-08 probably does have the range to reach the United States, and our assessment of where it exists and its lifetime is something that

The chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Friday tore into Donald Trump’s immigration message to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), calling his comments “bigoted” and borderline “racist.” “Donald Trump may provide comic relief, but his bigoted comments at CPAC have no place in the discussion for realistic solutions to our country’s immigration problems,” Rep. Ruben Hinojosa (R-Tex.) said in an email to The Hill. As the first speaker at Friday’s CPAC event, the real estate mogul and reality TV host called immigration reform a “suicide mission”

Ultra-secret national security letters that come with a gag order on the recipient are an unconstitutional impingement on free speech, a federal judge in California ruled in a decision released Friday. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ordered the government to stop issuing so-called NSLs across the board, in a stunning defeat for the Obama administration’s surveillance practices. She also ordered the government to cease enforcing the gag provision in any other cases. However, she stayed her order for 90 days to give the government a chance to appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Their own plan doesn´t even come close to balancing, of course, and they´re not interested in other ideas to get there. The first Republican amendment they torpedoed yesterday called for increasing federal spending at a clip of "only" 3.4 percent per year over the next decade, rather than the major acceleration that Democrats have advanced. The second proposed making it more procedurally difficult to pass a budget that does not balance with ten years.

Here at CPAC, it’s evident that in the aftermath of the devastating November election conservatives are turning not on the losing candidates — Mitt Romney, for one, was warmly received – but on the people who ran their campaigns. With an eye to 2014 elections, some conservatives and tea partiers are pushing a new solution: Down with the consultants. In an interview with NRO, Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, blasted the professional political class, decrying “any consultant who thinks that they can come into a state and say, ‘this is who you need
