| Labor unions and Hollywood donors are open to bankrolling Organizing for Action, the outside group that has been formed in support of President Obama’s second-term agenda. Traditionally one of the biggest donors to Democrats, unions are considering putting their financial weight behind the group as it tries to harness the grassroots power of Obama’s reelection machine. “If Organizing for Action mobilizes or communicates on issues that are directly germane to or beneficial to the interests of professional firefighters, we would consider supporting the effort,” said Kevin O’Connor, head of governmental and political

Comments:
This stinks to high heaven. The fact that this group is tax-exempt is totally outrageous.

I´ve maintained that this nationwide effort is an empty vessel that can morph into anything. Even into a Civilian Security Force. Watch the funding!

Those willing to sacrifice a small pleasure should stop watching all movies produced by Hollywood and starring their "stars".
We´ve been watching Indie and Foreign films lately, almost exclusively, and have found them to be fabulous. More often than not, they are FAR better than the detritus that comes out of H´wood. Besides, the Lefties who star in the outhouse films of Hollywood have tipped their hands long ago and shouldn´t be given the benefit of any doubts.
Do a service for America - destroy Hollywood by boycotting their products and all products endorsed by H´wood "stars". We have.

In 1965, disgusted by what he viewed as confiscatory taxation by the British authorities -- a supertax instituted by the Labor government was taking 95 percent of top earners´ income -- George Harrison wrote a bitter song from the perspective of a maniacal tax collector: If you drive a car, I´ll tax the street, If you try to sit, I´ll tax your seat. If you get too cold I´ll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I´ll tax your feet. But even Harrison´s "Taxman" never conceived of a levy on the weather, something currently being instituted in Maryland.

On Friday, Geraldo Rivera tackled the controversy surrounding the artists Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s recent trip to Cuba on Fox & Friends. Rivera laughed off concerns of conservatives, like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who said the trip was inappropriate and the result of political favoritism from the White House. The Fox News Channel host said that Jay-Z and Beyoncé help effect change in the Cuban regime by showing average Cubans how Americans live in a capitalist society. After Jay-Z rapped about the White House giving him clearance to go to Cuba, White House Press Sec.

As examples of self-parody go, you can’t do much better than this. As the story of Philadelphia “house of horrors” abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell explodes on the internet and makes its way gradually onto the radars of the nation’s newsroom editors, questions have arisen about why this sensational story never received the wall-to-wall treatment it appears to merit. From conservatives and liberals alike, the universal horror that the Gosnell story has inspired is palpable. But some have suggested that the story is politically inconvenient for absolutist pro-choice activists. It simply does not fit the narrative,

Our national thoughts about illegal immigrants are a complex set of sentiments indeed. We value their work ethics and contributions to America within reason, but are wary of the potential cost of their health care or welfare in tax payer money. We have empathy for their situation, but prefer our visitors to speak English. And very few Americans trust the border. Only 1 percent - yes, that’s a one - think the U.S. border with Mexico is “totally secure,” this according to a new NBC News/Wall Street journal poll released Thursday. Another 17 percent

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Friday declared America a violent country, and she blamed the media, Hollywood and street crime for the Wild West culture. In a House budget hearing, Sebelius also said that violence in American culture has a "desensitization" effect that can push the mentally ill over the edge. "I am concerned certainly about the pervasive culture of violence both throughout media, in the entertainment industry, in movies, on TV, in video games, but also on our street corners," she told the House Ways and Means Committee. She said some children "live in extraordinary violence."

The illegal immigrant who was drunk driving when he hit and dragged a Milford man to his death has been ruled incompetent to stand trial. Judge Janet Kinton-Walker says Nicolas Guaman´s "unique cultural background" and language barrier means that he doesn´t understand the court process. The court also said that he lacks the ability to consult with his attorney properly. The judge ordered Guaman´s attorney to find an interpreter and educate him on the court process. In August 2011, 23-year-old Matthew Denice was hit and dragged to death while riding his motorcycle. FOX 25 spoke to Maureen Maloney,

Tamra Varebrook’s 8th-grade daughter came home recently with an assignment on liberalism versus conservatism that shocked and angered her because of how it characterized one of the political ideologies. “I looked at it, and reading the description of ‘conservatism’ being that we are the party that wants to restrict all personal freedoms struck me as pretty much incorrect,” she said. Varebrook immediately called the school district in their town of Union Grove, Wisc., and they apologized, saying that the definition was completely wrong.

Even as the mandated sequester bites into U.S. federal spending -- and newly appointed Secretary of State John Kerry boasts that he is cutting his budget by 6 percent -- the State Department is planning to boost spending on the United Nations in 2014 by more than 4 percent to at least $3.6 billion. That is likely to be far from the final tally of Obama Administration support, as hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. development, health and other funds are usually channeled through U.N. agencies and institutions --

Students in some Albany High School English classes were asked this week as part of a persuasive writing assignment to make an abhorrent argument: "You must argue that Jews are evil, and use solid rationale from government propaganda to convince me of your loyalty to the Third Reich!" Students were asked to watch and read Nazi propaganda, then pretend their teacher was a Nazi government official who needed to be convinced of their loyalty.

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

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.

Whatever big-busted fantasies crawl around the ex-congressman’s delirious noggin, la Weiner made his next goal as clear as the skin of the wholesome college students he craved: He relishes being Mayor Weiner. Please, shut up this clown.

Seven hundred Military Special Operations professionals. And one insistent and very angry Mom. This is becoming a deadly combination for the political game players in the Obama Administration. Sean Smith, the young State Department computer wizard who was brutally murdered that September night in Benghazi, was Pat Smith’s only child. Let’s say that again. Sean Smith was Mrs. Smith’s only child. To listen to her recent radio interview with another Sean… Sean Hannity… is to have the heart break.

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.

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.
