WSJ: Was he serious?

The Wall Street Journal editorial board couldn’t believe what it heard yesterday in Barack Obama’s deficit speech. Well, believe is probably the wrong word, since Obama offered little of substance other than rhetorical bombs aimed at Paul Ryan, accusing him of trying to kill an entire generation of retirees while offering nothing specific to oppose it. The WSJ dismantles Obama’s speech in their lead editorial as fundamentally demagogic and as unserious as a President can get: Mr. Obama did not deign to propose an alternative to rival Mr. Ryan’s plan, even as he categorically rejected all its reform ideas, repeatedly vilifying them as essentially un-American. “Their ...

Nearly 68 years after a Massachusetts airman took off on a reconnaissance flight over the South Pacific during World War II, his remains have been found and are en route home to America for burial with full military honors. U.S. Army Air Force 2nd Lt. Martin Murray was piloting a B-24D Liberator plane that took off from an airfield on the island of New Guinea on Oct. 27, 1943, with 11 other crewmen aboard. He was flying a reconnaissance mission over shipping lanes in the Bismarck Sea, ahead of an attack on Japanese forces nearby. But the mission was scrapped midflight because of bad weather, and flight controllers instructed Murray to land the plane at a friendly airstrip on an island ...
Jesse Ventura boasts he once threatened Sean Hannity — causing him to panic on-set

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura says he can no longer appear on Fox News, and apparently it isn’t because he hosts a show on another cable channel. Back in May 2009, Ventura made a somewhat friendly, but contentious appearance on Hannity’s prime-time program. However, the way Hannity conducted his interview wasn’t very well received by Ventura. On Adam Carolla’s Wednesday podcast, Ventura boasted how he responded to the cable news host. “By the way, I can’t do Fox anymore because they won’t have me on,” Ventura said. “You know, the big three at Fox? But I will tell you a funny story. I did Sean Hannity a couple of years ago. And I walked in ...

Former President Bill Clinton and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Wednesday they will join forces to combat climate change, combining the two environmental organizations they lead. Mr. Clinton also beguiled reporters with a colorful account of his first visit to Times Square. The Clinton Climate Initiative has been working with the world's largest cities to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions that have been linked by many scientists to global warming. The group has been helping cities make energy-savings improvements to buildings, transit systems, lighting and waste management. The mayor is the current chairman of C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, a forum for major cities ...
Rand Paul Crusades Against Energy Efficiency Standards

The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee may have entered a new era of partisanship. The committee famous for working across party lines faced heavy resistance yesterday from Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky as it marked up its first legislation of the new Congress. The tea party favorite voted against bipartisan energy efficiency and hydropower measures from panel Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) and ranking member Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). "I think it's clear that we have more disagreement in this Congress than we had in the last Congress on a lot of issues, and this is one example," Bingaman said after the markup, where the two measures ultimately were ...
With Court Order, FBI Hijacks ‘Coreflood’ Botnet, Sends Kill Signal

In an extraordinary intervention, the Justice Department has sought and won permission from a federal judge to seize control of a massive criminal botnet comprising millions of private computers, and deliver a command to those computers to disable the malicious software. The request, filed Tuesday under seal in the U.S. District Court in Connecticut, sought a temporary restraining order to allow the nonprofit Internet Systems Consortium, or ISC, to swap out command-and-control servers that were communicating with machines infected with Coreflood — malicious software used by computer criminals to loot victims’ bank accounts. According to the filing, ISC, under law enforcement ...
CBO: Budget deal cuts this fiscal year’s deficit by just $352 million, not $38 billion touted

WASHINGTON — A new budget estimate released Wednesday shows that the spending bill negotiated between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner would produce less than 1 percent of the $38 billion in promised savings by the end of this budget year. The Congressional Budget Office estimate shows that compared with current spending rates the spending bill due for a House vote Thursday would cut federal outlays from non-war accounts by just $352 million through Sept. 30. About $8 billion in immediate cuts to domestic programs and foreign aid are offset by nearly equal increases in defense spending. When war funding is factored in the legislation would actually increase total ...
Obama outlines his deficit-reduction policy - CALLS NEW TAXES 'SPENDING REDUCTIONS IN TAX CODE'
Post Date: 2011-04-13 18:02:38 by We The People

Seeking to reassert leadership on the deficit and reassure troubled financial markets, President Obama on Wednesday said $4 trillion can be cut from accumulated deficits by 2023, and told Congress to pass a “debt failsafe” trigger that would impose big cuts if the debt doesn’t begin to stabilize within three years. Essentially tossing aside the budget he submitted just two months ago, Mr. Obama called for much deeper defense and domestic spending cuts and said while he will not trim benefit payment from Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, more money can be squeezed out of the latter two programs in other ways. The president also called for undoing the Bush tax cuts for ...

Civil War? Governor Jerry Brown Governor Moonbeam out in California is having some trouble handling his state’s budget woes. Well that’s no surprise. He didn’t exactly show any promise in matters governmental during his first two incarnations as governor. After all – he’s the guy who decided it would be nifty to allow California government-worker unions to have collective bargaining rights, and most aware people understand how that worked out. Californians, in case you don’t know, practice at being unaware. Anyways …. Moonbeam says that the debate happening in California is reflective of the mood across the country, calling it a “regime ...

A prominent libertarian constitutional lawyer and civil libertarian has drafted an article of impeachment against President Obama over his attack on Libya, throwing down a legal gauntlet that could be picked up by some Congressional Republicans Bruce Fein, a former Reagan administration official in the Department of Justice and chairman of American Freedom Agenda writes in his 15-page argument of Obama's course that "Barack Hussein Obama has mocked the rule of law, endangered the very existence of the Republic and the liberties of the people, and perpetrated an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor." Fein is a small-government conservative who worked on the impeachment of ...
Michelle Obama's America: Chicago School Bans Bag Lunches to Protect Kids from Themselves

The Chicago Tribune reported Monday that one Chicago public school -- the Little Village Academy -- has banned bag lunches...to protect the kids from their own "unhealthful" food choices:
Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.
"Nutrition wise, it is better for the children to eat at the school," Carmona said. "It's about the nutrition and the excellent quality food that they are able to serve (in the lunchroom). It's milk versus a Coke. But with allergies and any medical issue, of course, we would make an exception."
Carmona said she created the policy six years ago after watching students bring "bottles of soda and ...
Morgan's Raid [Full Thread]

Morgan's Raid was the only major attack by Confederate forces on the State of Ohio during the American Civil War. On July 8, 1863, Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan, a Confederate cavalry leader, led approximately two thousand soldiers across the Ohio River into southern Indiana. Morgan's superiors had dispatched the cavalry leader into northern Kentucky to cause disorder among the Union military. Morgan exceeded these orders by crossing north of the Ohio River, although he did create turmoil for the United States army. Crossing into Indiana, Morgan's Raiders spread false rumors that the Confederates intended to attack Indianapolis, Indiana. Rather than doing this, the men ...
Fort Sumter under the guns

MOUNT PLEASANT -- Punishing the Union forces in Charleston Harbor will be no problem for Vernon Terry of Rock Hill, thanks to his original Civil War cannon on loan from the Chester Historical Society. "If you give me four or five rounds, I could easily hit that flagpole," he said, referring to Fort Sumter, more than a mile away. Of course, he won't be lobbing 10-pound conical shells at the fort from his Parrot rifle perched at the Patriots Point Confederate encampment. But it will sound like it as an array of historic military weapons come to life in Mount Pleasant and on James and Sullivan's islands. An initial cannon barrage at 7 a.m. Tuesday will be followed by one ...

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the surrender at Appomattox that effectively ended the Civil War. Once, all Americans knew about Appomattox and what happened there. It was part of the reason we knew America was exceptional. Gen. Robert E. Lee was retreating from Richmond with his army of starving scarecrows. He had fewer than 10,000 effective fighting men left in his Army of Northern Virginia. After four long years of incredibly bloody conflict, Lee knew that the overwhelming numbers and resources of the Union forces under Gen. U.S. Grant would in time wear him down. Lee had ordered a shipment of rations be sent from shattered Richmond to Amelia Courthouse. Some nameless official in the ...

No Conspiracy In Wisconsin Supreme Court Election, Brookfield Vote Totals Posted On Election Night By AOL/Huffington Post Reporterby Media Trackers Conspiracy theorists are in full force with a Democratic congresswoman even asking the United States Attorney General to investigate the Waukesha County election returns that gave the Supreme Court race to David Prosser, but they might want to call up Arianna Huffington first. That’s because Patch, a new media site in Brookfield that Huffington oversees, reported the Brookfield election returns to the public… on election night.

What have they done with President Obama? What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular?
I realize that with hostile Republicans controlling the House, there’s not much Mr. Obama can get done in the way of concrete policy. Arguably, all he has left is the bully pulpit. But he isn’t even using that — or, rather, he’s using it to reinforce his enemies’ narrative.
His remarks after last week’s budget deal were a case in point.
Maybe that terrible deal, in which Republicans ended up getting more than their opening bid, was the best he could achieve — although it looks from ...

The new media template for explaining away President Obama’s alleged fraud in his birth certificate is to say that if there had been any truth to his deceit, it would have been uncovered a long time ago and probably during the last presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton would have brought it out or John McCain would have raised the issue. Since they did not, there is no merit to Obama’s alleged fraud. That is how the media template goes now. A simple look at how hostile the media has been towards the raising of the birth certificate issue over the last 24 months, explains why it was never raised. It is that simple. We will say this over and over again throughout this article. If ...

After reading Donald Trump's logic about why he thinks Barack Obama's presidency may be "the greatest scam in the country's history," we spent much of yesterday getting up to speed on the issue. Until yesterday, we actually hadn't looked at the birther question in detail, because we assumed it was just ludicrous conspiracy theory cooked up by folks who are desperate to do anything to have Barack Obama un-elected. But Donald Trump said he had an investigative team looking into it, and ...

A BIZARRE memo that appears to prove that aliens did land near the American town of Roswell has been published by the FBI. The bureau has made thousands of files available in a new online resource called The Vault. Among them is a memo to the director from Guy Hottel, the special agent in charge of the Washington field office in 1950. In the memo, whose subject line is "Flying Saucers", Agent Hottel reveals that an Air Force investigator had stated that "three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico". The investigator gave the information to a special agent, he said. The FBI has censored both the agent and the investigator's identity. Agent ...

Barack Hussein Obama is a fake and soon that will be an established fact. He was not born in Hawaii or any other part of the United States of America, nor was his father an American citizen. Both of these facts will disqualify him when they are proved. The trance he and his Party put America in is rapidly lifting and the nation’s eyes and ears are opening to well grounded charges that Obama is a fraud. Republican self identified TEA partier and proud “birther” Donald Trump, a man with the money and platform to deconstruct Obama’s web of lies, has stepped forward to challenge the Obama scam. He has put into motion a chain of events that will destroy the Obama ...

In WI, a recount at state-expense is triggered if an election is within .5% if the candidate requests it, and we have a fully verifiable paper trail to audit election results. That means in this election with approximately 740k for Kloppenburg and 739k for Prosser, the vote gets recounted at state-expense if the election is within ~7400 votes. So the last 2 days the WI-GOP has been scrambling trying to figure out how they can still get Prosser into office. What was the result of their brain-storming? Add a few extra votes in a friendly area (Waukesha), and call it a clerical error. But in order to steal the election, they NEED to be able to keep a recount from occurring, because a recount ...

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama wants you to know that he is not a golf addict. He spends so much time unwinding on the links because security restrictions mean he can't go out for long walks or go to the carwash or the grocery store. The president's comments came during a session with editors and publishers from Hearst Magazines in which he described life behind the scenes in the White House. The president said he loves his life in the White House but doesn't enjoy some of the ways of Washington, such as the "kabuki dance" among political partisans before serious policy discussions begin. He also regrets his loss of personal privacy. "I just miss - I miss ...
