| The investigation into New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez and his ties to political donor Salomon Melgen ratcheted Friday, as media reports dissected financial transactions between the two that could be seen as crossing congressional ethics lines. Roll Call cites a New York Times report for raising details of a 10-year financial relationship between the congressman and the Florida eye doctor that raises brows: Mr. Melgen reportedly bought a controlling stake in a port security company in the Caribbean two years ago. During that time frame, Roll Call cites

Tip of the iceberg. If the Diane Sawyers weren´t covering up for all of the crazed, greedy bums in Congress, this ridiculous crime story would be just one of thousands. It´s a given that, better or worse, every Congressman is crooked just like Menendez. They´re all in it together, that´s why they all act so stupidly quiet, why not one complains about his brother rat. They do not argue, pontificate, amongst themselves any longer because they are all too scared to tell the truth about their fellow thieves. The corruption is beyond imagination. Just the Obama´s own White House budget alone is a hint of their delusional life: one billion and a half for this thieving family. And look at Fox News recent report on our tax money wasted right in front of our eyes. The saving grace is the new media that is breaking these crime stories one by one.,,, and ahowing how despicable is Diane Sawyer.

Menendez will have the last laugh on this one.
I found out that he has signed receipts from all the underage girls with whom he had sex. So when he´s accused of not paying the little girls - - he´ll just whip out all those receipts - - and boy-oh-boy will his accusers be embarrassed!
You got to get up pretty early if you want to stay ahead of a sharp guy like Sen. Menendez!

I don´t know, is an eye doctor owning a senator worse than, say, corporations owning the entire house, senate AND presidency, totally?
I believe any influence of the eye doctor would be overridden by the big boys.
As for Menendez, he is toast. He´s one of the rare dems that actually will go to jail for his heinous crimes, hopefully, along with several others. That´s my prediction.

Ever notice how every DimWit cannot wait to "expand his probe" or "extend his probe"? Here Sen. Bobby "widens his probe."
BillyBoob Klintoon lowered the bar for them all as he enjoyed exposing himself in the Lewinsky affair.
Now Chrissie Matthews gets a thrill going up his leg with each new DimWit scandal.
Menendez will be added to the DimWit Mount Rushmore Brigade. To the DimWitz, "Mount, Rush-More" is how to avoid getting caught on the babysitter. Or, in Bobby´s case, on the babies.

Nothing will happen. He´s the right race, party and from NJ. There will be a show hearing, a fine paid, he may have to step down from his chairmanship but that is IT. To hope for more or waste time on this is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Remember that Rep. Rangel got caught in more stuff, and he just got reelected. Remember that Jon Corzine defrauded investors of millions and crashed a company through his decisions, and he´s off scot free.

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
