Congress Thwarts Post Office’s Plan
to Eliminate Saturday Delivery

Yahoo! Finance, by Nicole Goodkind Original Article

Posted By: athina- 3/22/2013 3:07:20 PM Post Reply

Last month United States Postal Service Postmaster Patrick Donahoe warned that the Postal Service was on the brink of default. He proposed cutting Saturday delivery service as a way to save $2 billion annually. But in a setback to the agency´s cost-saving efforts, Congress has passed legislation requiring a six-day postal service delivery schedule. Now the Government Accountability Office has released a report finding that USPS is bound to Congress´ spending agreement. The beleaguered mail carrier lost roughly $16 billion in 2012. The Postal Service is an independent agency, which means it is not funded by tax dollars.

In what is becoming an everyday occurrence, the hacker “Guccifer” has broken into more e-mail accounts, including those of a former White House chief of staff and a career U.S. Army officer who now heads an information security firm. “Guccifer” this morning sent an e-mail to TSG, Gawker, and a Russian TV news outlet that included screen grabs documenting his latest illegal incursions.

The late education of
Barack Obama

A late education is better than no education at all, even for a president of the United States. The man who is a mighty legend in his own mind is even showing a little humility. Barack Obama, who usually finds someone else — usually George W. — to blame for every little thing that goes awry, finally admitted this week in Israel that even a synthetic messiah can make mistakes. “I hope I’m a better president now than when I first came into office,” he told reporters at one stop early in his trip.

Media refuse to interrogate
Obama on his chicanery

I found myself in a group conversation that included one of the more instantly recognizable media figures -- someone who personifies the phrase "mainstream media." Since this isn´t something that happens every day, why not make the best of it? Why not ask this VIMP (Very Important Media Person) a question or two on the topics that I frequently criticize the press for not covering? The problem was how to do so without unduly alarming the poor thing. My favorite kinds of questions might be distressing to VIMPs who never ask them, or even seem to think of them.

AMMAN, Jordan — President Barack Obama says his administration is working with Congress to provide Jordan with an additional $200 million in aid this year. Jordan’s economic troubles have been made worse by the influx of more than 450,000 refugees fleeing the civil war across the border in neighboring Syria. The Syrians are crowding refugee camps in Jordan and overwhelming aid agencies run by the important U.S. ally in the Middle East. The United States already is the largest single donor of humanitarian aid for the Syrian people. Obama said Friday

The world is laughing at us. It has come to light that the Obama administration has allowed hundreds of Chinese nationals -- who are closely associated with the Chinese Liberation Army -- to work in a sensitive area of NASA´s Langley Research Center. What could possibly go wrong? Here´s what: one of these nationals, Bo Jiang, was arrested on Monday at Dulles International Airport for apparently attempting to take sensitive information out of the U.S. Don´t give our security apparatus too much of a slap on the back for apprehending him, though, as Jiang had previously succeeded in leaving

The Chicago Public Schools’ plan to close 53 schools and 61 buildings, mostly in black neighborhoods, has some West Side residents vowing to fight the Emanuel administration until the end. As WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports, to hear some tell it on the West Side, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is a racist liar who doesn’t care about the kids. And they’re just getting started. “I don’t see any Caucasians being moved, bussed, or murdered in the streets as they travel along gang lines, or stand on the steps of a CPS school,” said activist Wendy Matil Pearson as opponents

As I noted on Monday, the "On Faith" section at the Washington Post is hard at work attacking faithful Catholics by publishing, bit by bit, excerpts of a Sally Quinn interview with Garry Wills, a critic of the church. Well, on Tuesday -- the day of Pope Francis´s installation Mass -- the attack continued with another excerpt in which Wills was given a platform to wish the papacy would become a mere figurehead position, much like the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. On Faith editor and religious agnostic Sally Quinn opened with the query,

Risë Stevens, the internationally renowned mezzo-soprano who had a 23-year career with the Metropolitan Opera, where she practically owned the role of Carmen during the 1940s and ’50s, died on Wednesday at her home in Manhattan. She was 99. Her son, Nicolas Surovy, confirmed the death. On the Met’s roster from 1938 to 1961, Ms. Stevens was a superstar in an era when operatic superstardom was conferred mostly on sopranos and tenors. A Bronx native from a modest background, she was widely admired as a populist who help democratize the rarefied world of opera.

On Morning Joe today, Jimmy Carter´s former national security adviser had some advice for President Obama: tell Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that America will not go to war against Iran.

The deputy Prime Minister said it risked "undermining public confidence" to let illegal immigrants stay if they have been in the country for more than 10 years. In his first major speech on immigration, he abandoned the controversial proposal, which was championed by the Liberal Democrats at the last election. Mr Clegg previously supported the idea of "earned citizenship" for illegal immigrants.

The U.S. is increasing its oil production faster than ever and U.S. drivers are guzzling less gas. But you´d never know it from the price at the pump. (Snip) A major reason cited for high gasoline prices over the past two years -- fighting and political tensions in the Middle East and North Africa -- doesn´t apply this year. Libyan production has returned after collapsing during the country’s revolution two years ago. And higher production from the U.S. and Saudi Arabia has made up for Iran’s declining output in the face of Western sanctions.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Friday said the party played into a “caricature” of itself in the 2012 election cycle, citing “idiotic statements” and “biologically stupid things” said by Mitt Romney and other GOP candidates. Priebus didn’t specifically criticize Romney, but he cited the 2012 GOP presidential candidate’s comment that illegal immigrants should self-deport in saying Republicans needed to be more careful in what they said if they hope to defeat Democrats in elections. “It’s not necessarily what you say but how you say it,”

Today the NY Times has a case study on the cost of Obamacare to one small business. The business in question is Baked in the Sun, a California baker with 95 employees. Baked in the Sun does about $8 million in annual revenue, however margins for bakers are tight so their annual profit is only about $200,000. Because the business has over 50 employees, they will be required to offer health insurance to their employees or pay a fine for not doing so. The owners estimate that the cost of compliance would be $108,000 per year plus

President Obama has nominated Thomas E. Perez for Secretary of Labor. Perez is a radical progressive who is currently the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in President Obama’s Justice Department. Perez has amassed a record demonstrating contempt for the rule of law, hostility toward the private sector and an aversion to telling the truth under oath. If confirmed, Perez would be the most radical cabinet Secretary since Henry Wallace headed the Department of Agriculture for President Roosevelt. If the GOP Senators cannot stop Tom Perez, they cannot stop anyone.

President Obama and Congress will not solve America’s problems unless the people force them to. Washington is America’s problem. We are the solution. America remains a conservative nation. But the people crave leadership — champions who will stand up to the progressives, take on the liberal media and push back against the Republican leadership when they go wobbly. They are tired of politicians. (snip) As we move ahead, we must remember that there is a distinction between the Republican Party and the conservative movement. National Republican leaders have not advanced a conservative agenda for almost 20 years.
