D.C.’s main shelter crowded
with large families

Washington Post, by Annie Gowen

In the moments just before sleep and after the shelter staff banged on the door to enforce curfew, Sharisse Baltimore and her children said their prayers. The four oldest, curled up on small cots squeezed together in a row, always asked for “safety-ness, happiness and health.” In the fall, Baltimore added something else to the list. She wished for a subsidized housing voucher so her family could move into their own home. Last Friday, that happened. A shortage of affordable housing for larger families with four or more children is a big factor behind crowded conditions at the District’s main

When you have a country that was built on capitalism,then all of a sudden there´s a war on capitalism,there has to be a slew of people getting left behind.People wait in line for hours to get a damn HUD housing voucher.That´s their prize,not a promotion at work.

Obviously,this didn´t all start under Obama but it´s gotten inexorably worse since his election.People blindly supporting illegal immigration don´t understand the resulting wage suppression.

Uou have 100´s of homeless families in the middle of a huge federally funded job boom in DC.We can afford to pay 61K for someone to answer a phone but not give somebody a halfway decent place to live.

I guess the sequester cuts have already hit DC area shelters.

If people were forced to take responsibility for their large families, there may not be so many for the taxpayers to house, feed and clothe.

I can see a teen getting carried away, making a mistake, having one child out of wedlock. Sort of. Not a smart thing to do...but then, a lot of teens haven´t developed common sense yet.

What I can´t see is having 4 or 5 or...13?? kids the same way. Sweetie, at some point you surely must have figured out what causes pregnancies! And if you can´t afford another kid, then you either figure out how to get hold of birth control...or you don´t do it. Just say no! works.

Navy dolphin finds 130-year-
old torpedo
Fox News*, by Megan Gannon    Original Article

A Navy dolphin training to look for mines off the coast of San Diego found a museum-worthy 19th-century torpedo on the seafloor, military officials said. The brass-coated, retro wonder of technology was one of the first self-propelled torpedoes used by the U.S. Navy. Just 50 of these so-called Howell torpedoes were made and only one other example has been recovered; it sits in the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, Wash., outside of Seattle.The 130-year-old, 11-foot-long weapon was discovered back in March during a mine-hunting exercise that the Space and Naval warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) was conducting with bottlenose dolphins.

Accused Fort Hood Shooter
Paid $278,000 While Awaiting Trial
NBC 5 - KXAS [Forth Worth TX], by Scott Friedman    Original Article

The Department of Defense confirms to NBC 5 Investigates that accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan has now been paid more than $278,000 since the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting that left 13 dead 32 injured. The Army said under the Military Code of Justice, Hasan’s salary cannot be suspended unless he is proven guilty. If Hasan had been a civilian defense department employee, NBC 5 Investigates has learned, the Army could have suspended his pay after just seven days. Personnel rules for most civilian government workers allow for "indefinite suspensions" in cases "when the agency has reasonable cause

On immigration, Sen. Jeff
Sessions tries to halt the inevitable

Not since George Wallace, perhaps, has an Alabamian taken as passionate a stand for a lost cause as the one Jeff Sessions is taking now. Bipartisan immigration legislation is making its way inexorably through the Senate Judiciary Committee. Although its ultimate fate is unclear, its passage by the committee is assured, and conservatives on the panel such as ranking Republican Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Orrin Hatch (Utah) are doing what they can to improve the bill. Even firebrands such as Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Mike Lee (Utah) are holding fire. Then there’s Sessions. The wiry Southerner is on a one-man

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has canceled some public events while her husband is on a short break from his deployment in Afghanistan, her office said Monday. Capt. Michael Haley, a member of the Army National Guard, is home for up to two weeks of leave as granted by his commanders. He is believed to be the first spouse of a sitting governor to be deployed into a combat zone, the National Guard Association has said. Gov. Haley, a Republican up for re-election in 2014, bade an emotional farewell to her husband in January

She has been named one of “Ten Republicans to Follow on Twitter,” she was a rockstar at the 2012 Republican National Convention — and now she is back for another crack at a House seat. Mia Love, currently the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, has officially announced her candidacy for Utah’s fourth congressional district, setting up a rematch against Representative Jim Matheson, who defeated Love last November by just 768 votes out of 245,277 cast.

Obama’s boyfriend line

On Sunday, President Barack Obama gave a commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta. “Keep setting an example for what it means to be a man,” he told the graduates. “Be the best husband to your wife, or boyfriend to your partner, or father to your children that you can be.” That’s what Obama said, according to the New York Times, USA Today, Politico, and dozens of other news organizations. But Obama never uttered those words. Here’s what he actually said: “Be the best husband to your wife, or your boyfriend, or your partner.” That’s not a small difference

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy. There will be lots more hearings coming up this week

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
