GOP Should Subpoena
Benghazi´s Silenced Witnesses

Investor´s Business Daily, by Editorial Original Article

Posted By: Desert Fox- 3/18/2013 7:48:06 PM Post Reply

Benghazi: The House GOP has threatened to subpoena the survivors of the Benghazi terrorist attack, those who know the truth, and hold up the nomination of our murdered ambassador´s replacement. It should do both. The Obama administration is fond of using a familiar tactic, the shield of an "ongoing investigation," to cover up its malfeasance in the deaths of Americans serving their country. It was used to hide the truth regarding the administration´s Fast and Furious gun-running operation to Mexican drug cartels, which resulted in the deaths of agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata. They are using it again

Beyonce Releases Gritty, Rap-Tinged
New Song From Upcoming Album

NEW YORK -- Beyonce has just released the first new song from the sessions leading up to her forthcoming fifth solo album. Though there´s no guarantee it´ll arrive on the LP, "Bow Down/I Been On" is the first new music fans have heard from Bey since the release of her 2011 LP Four. Produced by Hit Boy, the track is a far cry from the triumphant, glistening pop most are used to hearing from Beyonce. Instead, it´s a gritty, Houston rap-tinged track that features an empowered Bey growling, "Bow down, b*****s" on multiple occasions.

Teen Birth Control: IUDs
Are an Option, Docs Say

More doctors should speak with their teenage patients about intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants as possible methods of birth control, a new study says. In the study, some doctors, particularly pediatricians, did not have an accurate understanding of which teens are candidates for these birth control methods, and so did not discuss these options, the researchers say. For instance, some doctors said they thought teens could have IUDs only if they´d previously been pregnant, when in fact, any sexually active teen girl can be a candidate for this type of birth control, experts say.

Saying that “gay rights are human rights,’’ Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former secretary of state and potential 2016 presidential candidate, has endorsed same-sex marriage. “I believe America is at its best when we champion the freedom and dignity of every human being,’’ Mrs. Clinton said in a video posted Monday on the Internet by the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights advocacy group. Her announcement comes as the Supreme Court is about to hear two landmark gay rights cases that advocates hope will make same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states. Mrs. Clinton’s announcement represents a

Chris Walsh didn’t set out to punish businesses that don’t allow him to carry his concealed handgun. He’s just a software designer from Richmond, Va. He started the website Friend or Foe in 2009 to keep track of where he could shop and eat without running afoul of business policies and local regulations. But then gun owners started using his website. As word got out on gun-rights blogs, people began adding more business ratings to Friend or Foe, highlighting the establishments that ban firearms and those that don’t. Before long, Walsh found he’d become an activist,

Questions for the Rebranders

RUSH: The Washington Post now, folks, has a poll that shows overwhelming support for it. I´m gonna tell you, there are so many things going on with this, but the focus of attention on gay marriage in Washington is the Supreme Court case where they are hearing the constitutionality of, I think, Prop 8. Gay marriage was voted down in California, and the Supreme Court´s gonna decide whether that stands or not. A full-court press is underway aimed at the justices led by the immovable John Roberts (ahem) and others. I got a question for the Republican Party rebranders,

RUSH: I gotta be very, very careful in discussing this. I have to be very careful because Reince Priebus went out and announced the new Republican Party rebranding and marketing plan. Now, I have been in marketing. Marketing is a multifaceted discipline that has one objective and that is to separate people from their money. And sales is part of marketing. Now, one thing that I´ve always believed in, as somebody in marketing, is you don´t tell anybody how you´re gonna separate them from their money. You just do it. You don't give them any ammo to resist you.

It was a gaffe on the order of bitter clingers, and this time in full public view: "If you´ve got a business--you didn´t build that," President Obama said at a July 13, 2012, campaign rally in Roanoke, Va. "Somebody else made that happen." The president´s defenders and sycophants rushed to rationalize it away. Look at the complete context, they said, and we did: If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive.

It remained a hidden underwater world for nearly 25 years, but slowly the water around Argentina´s ´town that drowned´ has started to recede, exposing the ruins that nestle below. Once a vibrant spa town south of Buenos Aires, Epecuen was flooded nearly three decades ago - the lagoon salt water has left its mark with everything slowly emerging from the flood covered in a silvery-white layer. The town was flooded without warning after a long period of heavy rains finally sent the lagoon bursting over its banks, submerging the small community on 10 November, 1985. Scroll down for video

Ferry service fights
that sinking feeling

San Francisco Chronicle, by Matier and Ross Original Article

Posted By: Ribicon- 3/18/2013 5:04:16 PM Post Reply

The much-heralded ferry service between Oakland and South San Francisco — launched just nine months ago at a cost to taxpayers of more than $42 million — is taking on water fast. The service, which operates seven trips each weekday, carried an average of just 131 total riders a day in the last week of February. That’s less than a third of the ridership that officials were counting on during the ferries’ first year on the bay. And yet, rather than retrenching, the ferry operators have big plans for expansion. You can find out about those here.

California tied with Rhode

WASHINGTON -- California´s jobless rate was unchanged at 9.8% in January, and that lack of improvement put the Golden State in a tie with Rhode Island for the worst unemployment in the land. On the other end of the spectrum, North Dakota had the lowest jobless rate, 3.3%, the government said Monday in releasing updated and revised employment data for all 50 states. These statistics, based on more complete payroll information, show that California and other states in the western half of the country did much better in job growth over the last 12 months, powered by the energy sector

Autopsy Report? Fox Panel
Clashes Over Whether Media

GOP’s ‘Scary’ Image

“Do the media…bear any responsibility for the Republican Party’s image?” Thus was the question Fox News host Jon Scott posed to his panel on Monday. In light of the RNC’s so-called autopsy report, the discussion questioned whether the media has focused too much on the Republican Party’s negative side. Alan Colmes wasn’t on board with blaming the media for the party’s own troubles. Remarking on RNC chair Reince Priebus‘ “candid” assessment of the GOP’s problems, Colmes said if Democrats had made some of the infamous comments some Republican candidates did, the press would have gone after them too.

Cyprus: the rescue plan that

Some rescue. Brussels has thrown a financial lifeline to Cyprus - but in the process has threatened to scuttle the island, the global recovery and even the euro project itself. It’s a measure of the mishandling that this drop of an economy, just 1.1m people and 0.2pc of eurozone GDP, has been able to trigger such a tsunami. The €10bn (£8.6bn) bail-out plan--pocket change compared to funds sunk into Greece, Ireland and Portugal--has engulfed global markets, wiping billions from the value of companies around the world, particularly the fragile banks. It has flooded the minds of investors, bond

When conservatives complain about the harm that the endless debate schedule had on the 2012 Republican primary candidates, the conversation often turns to the hosts and the moderators. Why are Republican candidates letting someone like ABC’s George Stephanopoulos — a former aide to Democrat Bill Clinton — ask them “gotcha questions” during a GOP primary? Why are GOP presidential hopefuls agreeing to meet for a debate hosted by an outlet like MSNBC, a cable network that has increasingly grown hostile to Republicans as it self-identifies as a liberal news network?

Last week, White House press secretary Jay Carney lashed out at a Fox News anchor for asking whether the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll might go the way of its cancelled tours. Carney told Jenna Lee that the event wasn’t at risk: “Well actually, Jenna, again, if you did a little reporting . . . it’s paid for by the sale of those eggs that come out, as well as from donations on the outside, so it’s a totally different budget. These are apples and oranges.” But now, the White House is warning that this year’s egg roll

New state bill on transgender students

Sacramento -California public schools would be required to allow transgender students to use school facilities and participate in activities and on sports teams that match their gender identity under a bill introduced at the Capitol. State law already prohibits schools from discriminating on the basis of gender identity, but backers of the measure, AB1266, say some schools and school districts don´t provide access to restrooms, locker rooms or sports teams that align with the identity of transgender students. The bill would make it clear that the law requires that, they said. "Transgender boys are boys, and transgender girls are girls,

An attempt to illegally obtain absentee ballots in Florida last year is the first known case in the U.S. of a cyberattack against an online election system, according to computer scientists and lawyers working to safeguard voting security. The case involved more than 2,500 “phantom requests” for absentee ballots, apparently sent to the Miami-Dade County elections website using a computer program, according to a grand jury report on problems in the Aug. 14 primary election. It is not clear whether the bogus requests were an attempt to influence a specific race, test the system or simply interfere with the voting.

The Washington Post runs a lengthy front-page article in its March 18 edition about President Obama´s trip to lsrael, stressing his need to correct missteps in his first term when he applied one-sided pressure on Israel that spawned tense relations with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ("Obama´s trip to Israel aims to fix missteps" by Scott Wilson). In his article, Wilson, a former Post Jerusalem correspondent, also highlights Obama´s mistaken view in his 2009 Cairo speech to the Muslim world that the Jewish state is rooted in the Holocaust and European persecution -- overlooking biblical ties to the land

House Democrats on Monday unveiled a 2014 budget proposal that includes $1.2 trillion in new taxes and $200 billion in stimulus spending. That´s about twice the level of stimulus spending that what was in the Senate Democratic budget, which included $975 million in new taxes. House Republicans have a budget that would lower tax rates and cut spending by $5.7 trillion compared to the Congressional Budget Office baseline. The House Democratic budget, authored by Budget Committee Ranking Member Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), would raise $1.2 trillion in revenue over ten years by ending tax breaks for both

Krauthammer Backhands Rand Paul:

Appearing on Inside Washington this weekend, conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer branded Sen. Rand Paul‘s recent moves as “politically radical” and called him “socially liberal” — terms which are undoubtedly damned in Krauthammer’s mind, despite the latter being patently false. The roundtable show played a clip of Paul’s CPAC 2013 speech, in which he decried President Obama having signed the 2011 National Defense Authorization Act and its controversial “indefinite detention” provision which allows the government to detain an American citizen indefinitely without charges. “This is what libertarians are like,” Krauthammer reacted. “This is what his dad was like.

Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee chairman, is hitting back at Reince Priebus, the current RNC chairman, on Monday after he took a jab at Steele for leaving him with a broken and bankrupt Republican Party in 2011. Steele fired back at Priebus by noting that he won the elections he was charged with winning whereas Priebus failed in that task. In a speech to the National Press Club, Priebus took a swipe at Steele saying that “both credit cards were suspended” when he took over as the party’s chairman in 2011. When asked if Steele “ruined the party” as chairman, Priebus replied, “I think the numbers speak

On Sunday, the Steubenville rape trial concluded with the judge finding two high school football players — Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’lik Richmond, 16 — guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl. The case itself has received a widespread coverage, but after the verdict was handed down, CNN became part of the story due to reporting “sympathetic” with the accused. A petition, with more than 30,000 signatures, is asking for a public apology from the network. The petition criticizes the network for “sympathizing” with the rapists rather than the victim:
