#JediMindMeld drama continues
CNN, by Gregory Wallace

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 3/2/2013 8:04:34 PM

One person described it as the “ultimate nerd sin.” Others didn’t think it’s so bad. But President Barack Obama took heat online for tangling the Jedi mind trick with the Vulcan mind meld. Obama said Friday he didn´t have the power to "somehow do a Jedi mind meld with these folks and convince them to do what´s right" on reaching a deal to avert the forced budget cuts known in Washington as the sequester. The comment came in response to a question from CNN chief White House correspondent Jessica Yellin after the president met with top congressional leaders

Continually demonstrating his complete lack of knowledge of American stuff. You wonder if he doesn´t tuck himself into his cocoon at night for an alien hive-mind meld.

I mean, everybody who is an American, or even if you´re a ferangi who has been out of the country for years, you should know about the Jedi Mind Trick. Was he always this dense and slow on the uptake?

FTA George Takei has to retract his initial Facebook post. By the way, Takei likens Republicans to Klingons.

"George Takei, who played Mr. Sulu on “Star Trek,” initially posted this quip to Facebook: “A ‘Jedi mind meld’ Mr. President? Really? One more like that and I will Spock you like a hurricane.”

He later took that post down and came to Obama’s defense in an interview on MSNBC."

# 1 Bingo !
New York Times reporter Janny Scott penned a biography of Obama´s mother that got scant attention from, as Michael Walsh calls our
twentysomething media -the Juicebox Mafia.
In " A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama´s Mother " Scott detailed how bizarre and dysfunctional Obama´s childhood was.
His pet was an orangutang named Tata.
Mine was a mixed breed mutt we called Tippy.
Obama was raised in Indonesia by a transvestite nanny named Evie who would arrive in the morning in male attire, but, he/she would leave in the evenings dressed as a woman.
" Neighbors recalled that they often saw Evie leave the house in the evening fully made up
and dressed in drag."
Most of American boys played soldier with plastic men , built snow forts and played Little League.
Their babysitters were female teenagers.
They were not raised by men dressed as women.
Evie the male /female would make Barry laugh by playing
with the make up and lipstick
belonging to Obama´s mother-Stanley Ann.
My Mother , as most American boys had an appropriate woman´s name.
Man / woman Evie would sleep in the same bed as Barry.
Obama was abandoned by his African father,
partially raised in Indonesia by his Muslim stepfather and a gay , transvestite nanny ,
then abandoned by his white mother and raised in Hawaii by distant and allegedly racist white grandparents.
This guy doesn´t have a clue what it means to be an American , a normal human being or a man.

As he continues guiding the Senate toward eventual consideration of proposals to curb gun violence, Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) invoked his father’s suicide Tuesday as he once again pleaded with Republicans not to block legislation under consideration. During his morning remarks on the Senate floor, Reid recalled receiving a 12-gauge shotgun ordered from a Sears catalog for his 12th birthday and made reference to incidents of gun violence in his home state of Nevada, including the 2010 shooting at a Las Vegas federal building. He also noted that as a young state legislator, he sponsored a bill

A homeless man, oblivious to President Obama’s passing motorcade, took BB gun practice in the nearby woods and refused to drop his weapon when confronted by Connecticut cops, officials said today. Obama was speaking yesterday at the University of Hartford when police, stationed along the president’s route to Bradley International Airport, heard noises coming from a nearby wooded area around 5:50 p.m., said Bloomfield police Capt. Stephen Hajdasz. A detective from the neighboring town of Simsbury ordered the man — identified as 27-year-old Joseph Stravinskas — to drop what appeared to be a rifle, according to Hajdasz.

A woman who worked at a Philadelphia abortion clinic has testified how she was handed a glass pan carrying a screaming newborn with no eyes or mouth and told to deal with it. Sherry West, who is a witness in the murder trial against her former boss Dr. Kermit Gosnell, said that when the tiny ´specimen´ screamed ´it sounded like a little alien´. West is testifying in the case under a deal with prosecutors after she pleaded guilty to third-degree murder involving the death of a 41-year-old woman at the clinic. Gosnell, 72, is charged with murdering seven babies

North Korea poses a “clear and direct threat” to the United States, the chief of the U.S. Pacific Command told a Senate panel Tuesday. Pacific commander Adm. Samuel Locklear said Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile tests are a threat to U.S. national security and regional peace and stability. He noted that North Korea is keeping a significant percentage of combat forces in the demilitarized zone, and said the United States and South Korean forces are "ready today" to respond should the Kim Jong Un regime stage an attack. Senators pressed Locklear to elaborate on how the U.S. military

WASHINGTON —A liberal grassroots organization is running ads featuring the face of Republican Sen.

The ads come as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., looks to move a gun-control bill to the Senate floor for a vote.

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

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?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
