Senate approves Kerry for
secretary of state

Associated Press, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 1/29/2013 6:01:26 PM

The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed President Obama´s choice of five-term Sen. John Kerry to be secretary of state, with Republicans and Democrats praising him as the ideal successor to Hillary Rodham Clinton. The vote Tuesday was 94-3. One senator -- Kerry -- voted present and accepted congratulations from colleagues on the Senate floor. The roll call came just hours after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved the man who has led the panel for the past four years. Kerry could be sworn in as early as Wednesday. A welcoming ceremony is planned at the State Department on Monday.

America´s unique position in the world is such that the guiding principles of our dealings with our adversaries should be denial and containment. Every fiber in this despicable man´s being is focused in exactly the opposite direction - appeasement, accomodation and enablement. He might know the nuts and bolts of statecraft, but that is not the issue. It is like saying Eichmann was fit for the job because he was a logistics expert! 94 to 3 is a shameful disgrace.

I cannot blame MA for voting for him all these years as they voted for Teddy despite that he was involved in the death of a woman. MA voteres are brain-dead.

But to elevate Kerry to such an important position with the US facing terrorism on a daily basis from sub-human people, is beyond irresponsible and criminal.

If Benghazi happened under HRC´s watch, just wait for the next hit under Kerry´s watch. At least, HRC had Bubba as back up. Teresa cannot do squat for Kerry unless she, buys them.

Sorry folks.....but this should be fun to watch. Kerry has NEVER held a real job, Kerry has never been in a real management position. Kerry has NEVER had to make decisions. He is even less qualified for the post than Obama was to be president.

Unfortunatly, this appointment will have real consequences, but I see US foreign policy and the State Department in full melt down mode within a year. AT least Clinton had the experience of being first lady and probably half the people at state admire her, for whatever reason. Is there anyone out there that truly likes Kerry? He´s an arrogant, pompas, know it all, wrong on every issue jackass.

Hair + unearned wealth + Massachusetts + sophomoric self-righteous liberalism = a distinguished career in politics. Everything is permitted. Indeed, a touch of scandal seems to add some zest to the dreary neo-Puritanism of Massachusetts´ religious liberalism. It makes the saints human for the congregation.

But boil it all down re: Kerry and I think it in his case it is mainly the hair. He would not be where he is today and would not have the wealth he has without that head of hair. It would be interesting to know how much he spends on it. It is his principal personal asset, his ticket to ride, and I expect pays a lot of attention to it.

The IRS, currently in the midst of scandals involving the targeting of conservative groups and lavish taxpayer-funded conferences, is ordering surveillance equipment that includes hidden cameras in coffee trays, plants and clock radios. The IRS wants to secure the surveillance equipment quickly – it posted a solicitation on June 6 and is looking to close the deal by Monday, June 10. The agency already has a company lined up for the order but is not commenting on the details. “The Internal Revenue Service intends to award a Purchase Order to an undisclosed Corporation,” reads the solicitation.

President Obama calls his vast domestic spying operation a "modest encroachment on privacy." Another defender of the Eavesdropping State, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., assures Americans they would support the president´s stance—if only they knew as much as she does. "Here´s the rub," she said. "The instances where this has produced good—has disrupted plots, prevented terrorist attacks, is all classified. That´s what´s so hard about this." Walter Pincus, a Pulitzer Prize-winning national security reporter at The Washington Post, says the Washington press corps made too much of the Obama administration´s seizure of telephone records at the Associated Press.

While the country’s largest breast cancer charity, Susan G. Komen, announced it was cancelling half its 3-day races nationwide next year, CEO Nancy Brinker’s compensation package has increased considerably in the past two years. And at $684,000, the pay itself is enough to raise eyebrows, not to mention Brinker’s 2012 announcement she would be stepping down as Komen CEO. Her announcement came in August in the wake of the early 2012 controversy over the charity’s short-lived decision to pull funding from Planned Parenthood to provide breast cancer screenings. Brinker has remained listed as the organization’s CEO

A video clip has been released by George Zimmerman´s defense team who claim it will prove that Zimmerman can be heard screaming for help on a 911 call made seconds before Trayvon Martin was shot dead. The footage, released as Zimmerman prepares to go on trial for second-degree murder, appears to show two men fighting over a bicycle by the roadside. Defense attorneys claim that the tape came from Trayvon´s cellphone and that his voice can be heard in the background - making it possible to authenticate a crucial emergency call made shortly before

The former intelligence worker who was the source of bombshell stories on top secret government snooping programs first approached the Washington Post with his trove of information in early May, the Post´s Barton Gellman has reported. But the Post refused to fulfill some of Edward Snowden´s specific requests, so Snowden took his information to The Guardian´s Glenn Greenwald, who then became the first to publish a story on the leaks. In talks with the Post during the week of May 20, Snowden, 29, had insisted that the newspaper publish within 72 hours the full text of a 41-slide PowerPoint presentation

A memo obtained by CBS from the State Department inspector general identified eight separate cases of illegal behavior where investigations were manipulated or called off. In one case, a cover-up saved the career of a US ambassador in a sensitive diplomatic post believed to be propositioning prostitutes.

Mickey Kaus has produced an excellent, easy-to-use “pocket guide” to the reasons why the Schumer-Rubio immigration reform bill (S.744) is fraudulent. Kaus catalogues the provisions of the bill that promise tough future enforcement, etc. but don’t do what they pretend to do: “Multiple triggers” — Legalization is immediate. DHS just has to write border “plan.” The most any “triggers” can possibly do is delay green cards and citizenship. “90% effectiveness” — If not reached, triggers only toothless commission “Pay back taxes” — Only if already “assessed” by IRS (unlikely). Newly legalized may instead get refunds. “Learn English” — Only need to sign up

The New England Patriots will sign Tim Tebow, league sources told ESPN. The Patriots are signing Tebow, who is expected to participate in the team´s mandatory minicamp Tuesday, as a quarterback, according to sources. The move reunites Tebow with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who was the Broncos' head coach when Denver traded into the first round to draft the Heisman Trophy winner in 2010. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick often has spoken with admiration for Tebow's versatility, intelligence and character.

For several months, the Benghazi scandal lay dormant, apparently forgiven and forgotten. Then, inexplicably, it reared its ugly head when Congressmen Ron Johnson and Jason Chaffetz smelled Obama´s blood in the water. After feigning affliction with the flu, and then ostensibly tumbling down a carpeted stairwell resulting in an unconfirmed concussion, then-Secretary of State Clinton was finally forced to testify before Congress. Clinton´s desperate attempt to put the Benghazi scandal to rest with her now-infamous impassioned declaration -- "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

FRESNO, Calif. — On a warm spring day, farmworker Cristina Melendez was bedridden and unable to make her way back into the asparagus fields of central California for the kind of backbreaking work she´s done since childhood. The 36-year-old mother of seven was desperate. Her bank account had been at zero for months, the refrigerator was nearly empty, and she didn´t have enough to cover the rent.

Edward Snowden should go to jail, as quickly and for as long as possible. This is a leak case that should be difficult for even Eric Holder to bungle. Snowden has already confessed in public to the crime of leaking classified information. He has said in public how he did it, that he did it with intent, and that he knowingly harmed our national security. Holder will finally find a leaker that he can prosecute. But given the Holder Justice Department’s record on the other leak cases, who wants to take a bet
