What does it all mean?
Washington Examiner [DC], by Noemie Emery

Original Article

Posted By:MissMolly, 11/28/2012 5:45:37 AM

Every two to four years since 1992, we have found ourselves with a new realigning election -- one that shifts things "forever" in one party´s favor, only to come apart shortly thereafter in a re-realignment or a draw. Ideologies show no patterns of permanent dominance. There seems one signal of reliability: In each election of the modern political era (since 1980, when the parties became markedly more ideological), the presidency always has gone to the party that fielded the best politician, the most gifted and supple political animal, and the better political team.

No patterns of permanent dominance? Since the 1930s the country has been moving toward totalitarian socialism, with an almost unbroken series of GOP retreats and surrenders. Even when the GOP held Congress for a short time in the mid-90s, Newt Gingrich did not cut federal spending. The last time that happened was 91948, under a Democrat president.

It means the communists/fascists have won.

It means we are all slaves to the state.

It means the velvet glove remains on the iron fist, for now, until enough people realize what has happened.

It means: Get ready...´cause here it comes.

You don´t know socialism until you live socialism. The first term was all promises, with deliverables not to be measured until after the election. Seniors on Medicare Advantage haven´t learned that their plan is no longer available in 2013. Defense employees haven´t learned that will be laid off in January. Low and middle income workers haven´t yet received their first 2013 paycheck. Industry hasn´t begun the lay-offs caused by the tens of thousands or regulations released since the election.

One captain missing from ´Deadliest
Catch´ season 9 sneak peek
Fox News, by Staff    Original Article
Posted By: MissMolly- 4/13/2013 6:15:21 AM     Post Reply
Discovery Channel released a sneak peek of the ninth season of its hit series “Deadliest Catch,” but one star is clearly missing from the show promo. Captain Elliott Neese is nowhere to be found as the boats prepare to head out to sea, and his absence quickly becomes a hot topic of conversation among the skippers. “Elliot should be here. He should be ready to go,” cast member Scott Campbell mused during the clip. Captain Sig Hansen seems less concerned, suggesting Neese lost his boating job. “I am kind of not surprised that Elliot isn’t here this year,” Hansen said.

Bomb North Korea,

Austin, Texas - SINCE February, the North Korean government has followed one threatening move with another. The spiral began with an underground nuclear test. Then the North declared the armistice that ended the Korean War invalid. The young dictator Kim Jong-un followed with a flurry of threats to attack civilian targets in South Korea, Japan and the United States. Earlier this week, North Korea closed the Kaesong Industrial Complex, the only facility where citizens from North and South Korea work together. And now the North is openly threatening (and visibly preparing) to fire a mobile-launcher-based Musudan missile

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Jonathan Winters when I saw Larry’s obit this evening. Baby boomers and their parents became acquainted with Winters through his appearances on The Tonight Show first with Jack Paar and then Johnny Carson or in movies like It’s a Mad, Mad World and The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming. My generation got to know Winters through Robin Williams during his stint on the last season of Mork & Mindy playing Mearth.

Sunday’s New York Times magazine features an interview with disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, which Weiner granted in a bid to gauge if the public is ready to accept him back in public life. The Weiner piece comes in the wake of the arrest of state Sen. Malcolm Smith for trying to buy his way onto the Republican mayoral primary ballot. His indictment left many asking, “Why is New York so corrupt?” The answer may lie in the careers of people like Weiner and Smith. Both the ex-congressman from Queens and the state senator are part of an expansive and expensive

We hate to break it to the hungry, huddled masses that routinely seek out House side eateries for sustenance, but when it comes to that guiltiest of pull-apart pleasures, fried chicken, you should be calling “fowl.” Mind you, it’s not that the picnic staple is not available to rank-and-file patrons in either chamber. But the dining experience varies wildly depending on where you are perched. The Golden Brown Standard To be fair, the governing bodies in charge of catering to each side of the Capitol blatantly advertise that they’re serving competing foodstuffs. “House Fried Chicken” is all you’ll get from the Capitol Market

Lance Armstrong sells his

Disgraced former cyclist Lance Armstrong is liquidating some assets amid the Texas-sized legal woes that may end up costing him the lion´s share of his ill-gotten gains. Armstrong is selling his palatial home near Austin, Texas, potentially freeing up a few million bucks that various plaintiffs will surely try to retrieve for themselves. Among those suing Armstrong is the Department of Justice, which seeks tens of millions of taxpayer dollars that went toward sponsoring Armstrong´s corrupt U.S. Postal Service cycling team.According to the Austin American-Statesman, businessman Al Koehler filed a deed of trust in Travis County last week

As John Ekdahl says, it’s awfully hard not to see a cynical motive in a conservative senator from a blue state suddenly “evolving” on gun control. I can’t believe I’m saying this after spending years rooting for Toomey primary challenges to Arlen Specter, but … is someone going to end up primarying Pat Toomey? Or will Pennsylvania conservatives follow the Scott Brown rule and stay out of his way in the belief/knowledge that no one they nominate will have a better chance of winning their state than the current somewhat unsatisfactory Republican incumbent? Matt Lewis identifies Toomey and immigration point

Rand Paul´s Speech at Howard
Got a Little Awkward,

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky took his message of GOP inclusion to historically black Howard University Wednesday, where he received a polite but tough reception. It was likely the fairest hearing any prominent Republican was going to get, given the GOP´s long-standing struggles with African-American support. And the fact that Paul decided to speak at Howard in the first place did more for him and a party focusing on minority outreach than anything he actually said. "Some have said that I´m either brave or crazy to be here today," he told the audience of faculty and students.

So far, Joel Osteen seems prepared to turn the other cheek. The target of an elaborate internet hoax that tricked many people into believing that the charismatic leader of Lakewood Church had forsaken his Christian faith, Osteen refused to say whether he planned to take legal action against those responsible. “You know, I’m really not angry. I don’t feel like a victim,” Osteen told ABC News. “I feel too blessed, that life is too short to let things like this get you down.” In a coordinated April fool’s prank, a man who has so far remained anonymous

Hollande’s Camel Slaughtered in Mali
National Review Online, by Katherine Connell    Original Article
Posted By: MissMolly- 4/10/2013 7:11:22 AM     Post Reply
A couple of months ago, François Hollande was presented with a baby camel by local authorities in Timbuktu in appreciation for France’s military action against Islamist militants in Mali. The animal did not come quietly. Hollande had initially hoped to have the camel vaccinated and transported to a Parisian zoo, but decided it would be easiest for the French and best for the beast if it were entrusted to a local Timbuktu family who had suffered damage to their property from French tanks. It appears that his trust was misplaced.

After listening to the latest secret recording made public by Mother Jones, there’s no question that Ashley Judd — and the Democratic Party — dodged a serious bullet when the actress decided not to run against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).While I agree with The Fix that the dust-up over said recording of a McConnell campaign opposition research meeting is “much ado about not much” since such research is a bipartisan ritual, there was enough oppo gold to sink a Judd candidacy. The rap sheet was long for someone the McConnell people

Justin Timberlake concerts for King Obama… but no Blue Angels for Americans… KomoNews reports the following: SEATTLE — The annual summer Blue Angels show over Seattle has fallen victim to federal budget cuts. Seafair spokeswoman Melissa Jurcan said the festival received official word from the Navy on Tuesday morning that the fighter jet demonstration team would not be making the trip to Seattle for 2013. Sequestration prompted the Department of Defense to prohibit military aerial demonstrations along with other cost savings measures, and the Navy said it was cancelling all remaining Blue Angels performances for the year.

In 2011, the journalist Mara Hvistendahl published Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men, detailing the societal effects of sex-selective abortions that target women the world over and resulted in the absence of perhaps more than 100 million girls who by now should have been born. But Hvistendahl soon learned the downside to uncovering what many believe to be a shocking trend in human rights offenses: people will want to do something about it.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

Remember little Anthony Freemont, played by cute little Billy Mumy, in one of the "Twilight Zone´s" most famous episodes? In the opening sequence Rod Serling informs us: "A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines -- because they displeased him -- and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages -- just by using his mind. . . . and the people there have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, said on Tuesday that the healthcare law, set to go into full effect in less than eight months, is “probably the most complex piece of legislation ever passed by the United States Congress” and “is just beyond comprehension.” Rockefeller said he is concerned that early missteps with implementing the healthcare overhaul may cascade into confusion and chaos. The law, said Rockefeller, is “so complicated and if it isn’t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse.” Rockefeller’s consternation echoes comments made earlier this

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

Referring to the so-called Hastert Rule, named after former House Speaker Denny Hastert (R-IL), which dictated that House leadership not bring up any bill for a vote without the support of a majority of the majority party, Boehner said, “Listen: It was never a rule to begin with.” Then, realizing the gravity of admitting

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.

I’ve been writing about media coverage of abortion for many years. And so have many others. If you haven’t read David Shaw’s “Abortion Bias Seeps Into The News,” published in the Los Angeles Times back in 1990, you should. That report also explains why we cover the topic here at GetReligion.But the thing is that I’m getting kind of sick of pointing out egregious bias only to see things not just remain bad but get worse. Just think, in the last year, we saw the media drop any pretense of objectivity and bully the Susan G. Komen Foundation

HOLLYWOOD — Republican leaders plotted their party’s political comeback on Thursday with plans to court minority voters and modernize their political operations. But some wondered if one person could make it all for naught: Hillary Clinton. As attendees of the Republican National Committee’s spring meeting debated party rules and a refurbished GOP brand capable of winning back the White House, more than two dozen operatives and officials expressed worry that none of their party’s potential 2016 candidates can take her down. One early-state RNC member put it simply

Global PC shipments fell by 13.9 percent in the first quarter of 2013, and according to analyst firm IDC , Windows 8 could very well be the reason. On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that 76.3 million PC units shipped during the most recent financial period, marking the biggest decline since the IDC began publishing quarterly numbers 19 years ago. “The reaction to Windows 8 is real,” Jay Chou, an IDC analyst, said to The Wall Street Journal. Increased demand for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have also played a role in this decline,
