Cantor Could Rake In Windfall If Debt Ceiling Isn’t Raised

Economists have said that failing to raise the debt ceiling could be catastrophic for the U.S. economy, but at least one lawmaker stands to gain financially if the country defaults on its debts. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's (R-VA) latest financial disclosure statement indicates that he owns up to $15,000 of ProShares Trust Ultrashort 20+ Year Treasury EFT, a fund that will likely skyrocket as U.S. debt becomes less desirable. "If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, investors would start fleeing U.S. Treasuries," Motley Fool's Matt Koppenheffer told Salon. "Yields would rise, prices would fall, and the Proshares ETF should do very well. It would spike." ...

With the Obama Myth Shattered, What's Left is a Failing Narcissist June 30, 2011 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Freshman Republican Senator Marco Rubio has had his own name for Barack Obama, and this is classic as well. This is from National Review Online at their Corner blog: "Rubio tells us that he will respond to Obama's recent press conference, where the president reveled in class-warfare bluster. 'Quite frankly, I am both disappointed for our country and shocked at some of the rhetoric,' he says. 'It was rhetoric, I thought, that was more appropriate for some left-wing strong man than for the president of the United States. Talking about corporate jets and oil ...

The rise in the group's political prominence makes contact necessary, U.S. official said. | AP Photo Close The U.S. has decided to formally resume contact with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood group - which does not recognize Israel – in a move that could further alienate some Jewish voters already skeptical of President Barack Obama, it was reported.One senior U.S. official said the Brotherhood’s rise in political prominence after the forced departure of former President Hosni Mubarak earlier this year makes the American contact necessary. “The political landscape in Egypt has changed, and is changing… It is in our interests to engage with all of the parties that ...

Unreasonable Judge, Unreasonable Ruling By Mario Diaz and Sheila Willamowski The latest chapter in the California Proposition 8 marriage saga involved a Motion to Vacate by marriage supporters on the grounds that Chief District Judge Vaughn Walker should have recused himself from the case. Though Judge Walker's biased approach to the case has been well-documented (see The Prop. 8 Case Charade and Biased Judge on California's Proposition 8 Marriage Case), the motion was finally brought after Walker revealed upon his retirement that he was indeed a homosexual and that he had been in a 10-year homosexual relationship with another man. Most people can quickly see the conflict of ...

GOP commissioners blocked FEC probe of Christine O'Donnell

Federal Election Commission attorneys sought a full-scale investigation of former Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, but the three GOP commissioners on the bipartisan commission blocked the probe, newly released FEC documents show. FEC attorneys "found reason to believe" that O'Donnell, Tea Party Express and Our Country Deserves Better PAC improperly coordinated contributions and expenditures prior to the 2010 Senate GOP primary, where O'Donnell pulled a surprising upset on longtime Rep. Mike Castle (R). The FEC attorneys wanted to move ahead with an investigation into the case, including subpoenas. The complaint against O'Donnell was filed by the ...
Obama Pushes $600 Billion in New Taxes in Debt Talks [Tax-and-Spend POTUS]

President Barack Obama threw the talks on the debt ceiling crisis into turmoil on Monday afternoon by proposing a $600 billion tax hike before even meeting with Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell. Just as Democrats and Republicans seemed to be inching toward an agreement that would stave off the prospect of a default on the nation’s debts, Obama introduced a measure that is sure to have the GOP howling in opposition. The new wrench in the works drew scorn from conservatives. "The Democrats’ insistence on touting their desire to 'end tax breaks to oil and gas companies' is becoming quite tiresome," wrote Andrew Stiles at the National Review's website. ...
Obama Violates Federal Campaign Laws

NRO’s Jim Geraghty raises the question of whether Barack Obama filmed a video for his reelection campaign in the White House, which may possibly be a violation of federal election laws. In the video, President Obama promotes a “Dinner With Barack” raffle. To participate in the contest you need to donate at least $5 to the president’s re-election campaign and your name will be raffled off to enjoy a dinner with the President, airfare and accommodations included. In a new web video, Obama announced Vice President Joe Biden will also be attending the dinner. There is one problem, however. This campaign ad was most likely recorded in the White House, which may have ...

Chevy Volt: The Car from Atlas Shrugged Motors by Patrick J. Michaels This article appeared in Forbes on March 16, 2011. The Chevrolet Volt is beginning to look like it was manufactured by Atlas Shrugged Motors, where the government mandates everything politically correct, rewards its cronies and produces junk steel. This is the car that subsidies built. General Motors lobbied for a $7,500 tax refund for all buyers, under the shaky (if not false) promise that it was producing the first all-electric mass-production vehicle. At least that's what we were once told. Sitting in a Volt that would not start at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, a GM engineer swore to me that the internal ...
Texas Lawmakers AWOL For Vote On TSA Groping Bill (GOP flees to protect perverts)

5:21PM CST UPDATE: It's now apparent that the primary culprit behind the fact that lawmakers failed to show up for the vote was none other than Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus, who labeled the bill "nothing more than an ill-advised publicity stunt," despite the fact that it merely sought to reinforce language already present in the 4th amendment. The Texas Tribune reports that Straus approached the bill's primary sponsor Rep. David Simpson earlier this week and insisted that language pertaining to "private parts" be removed from the legislation altogether, which would have completely gutted the bill. As Simpson has emphasized, this bill is far from ...

Voter ID Showcases Democrat McLovins By Kevin Jackson Let's just call Democrats what they are when it comes to voter ID fraud: McLovin. McLovin was the under-aged kid (Fogell) in the movie Superbad who got a fake ID to buy beer (yes, you need a photo ID to buy alcohol) for a party full of more under-aged kids. Fogell ends up with a fake that shows him as a 25-year-old named McLovin. The farce of the movie is that he should in no way be able to use an obviously bogus ID to buy liquor, but he pulls it off. Art imitates life...Democrat-style. Missouri Governor Jay "McLovin" Nixon's veto of the Republican-sponsored photo ID bill is another Democrat slap in the face to ...
Obama Gets 30% of Americans Certain to Support Re-Election in Economy Poll

Americans are growing more dissatisfied with President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy and say it will be hard to vote to re-elect him without seeing significant progress over the next year and a half. By a margin of 61 percent to 37 percent, a Bloomberg National Poll conducted June 17-20 shows Americans say they believe that Obama will have had his chance to make the economy “substantially better” by the end of 2012. Only 30 percent of respondents said they are certain to vote for the president and 36 percent said they definitely won’t. Among likely independent voters, only 23 percent said they will back his re-election, while 36 percent said they definitely ...

It really is hard to find the words to describe the true horror of the national debt. The U.S. government has been on the greatest debt binge in all of human history, and a day of reckoning is coming that is going to be so painful that it is going to shock America to the core. We have lived so far above our means for so long that none of us really has any concept of what "normal" is like anymore. The United States has enjoyed the greatest party in the history of the world, but now this decades-old party is ending and the bills are coming due. It was Dick Cheney who famously said that "deficits don't matter". Well, try telling that to the nation of Greece right ...
Dear Leader's Hopey-Changey Stimulus almost doubled U.S. debt

CBO: Stimulus almost doubled U.S. debtA new report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) finds that President Obama’s economic stimulus program helped nearly double U.S. debt. The 2011 Long-Term Budget Outlook, released Wednesday morning, reports that the “the combination of automatic budgetary responses” and Obama’s stimulus “had a profound impact on the federal budget.” According to CBO projections, before Obama’s stimulus became law, federal debt equaled 36 percent of GDP and was projected to decline slightly over the next few years. Instead, thanks in large part to the stimulus, debt reached 62 percent of GDP by 2010. Other lowlights from the ...

Conventional wisdom has it that Bill Clinton was a flawed man, but a good president. Let's blast that claptrap to smithereens with a Fast and Furious AK-47, because Bill Clinton was an unadorned calamity for our national security, and, in all probability, remains one to this day. In the last week, we learned some piquant facts about Clinton's associates: First, his wife's most intimate aide, Huma Abedin, has a Saudi mother and brother who are both prominent members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Glamour girl Abedin accesses our most sensitive national secrets through her longtime, joined-at-the-hip relationship with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This jihadist penetration ...

Our national debt currently hovers at $14,352,045,270,245.76. Yet instead of working to decrease this exorbitant sum, many of my congressional colleagues are suggesting we raise our debt limit, inevitably encouraging the accumulation of more debt and borrowing that money on the backs of our children and grandchildren. Clearly, our government's approach to spending is completely out of control, and as citizens it is our responsibility to hold it accountable. The government does not need more money -- in fact, we need to give it less, and ensure that the borrowing does not continue. In a recent letter to Congress, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner made bold statements and ...

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka boasted during a February news conference that he's "at the White House a couple times a week, two, three times a week." Trumka added that he has "conversations every day with someone at the White House or in the administration." On Monday, we learned conclusively that when the AFL-CIO's Richard Trumka speaks, White House officials listen. His words come as a dog whistle to President Obama, who never misses an opportunity to reward his biggest campaign donors. The evidence became public with the National Labor Relations Board's announcement of proposed new rules for workplace representation elections in the private sector. ...

"How much does the State weigh?" Josef Stalin asked an underling who had been ordered to extract a confession from an enemy of his regime. Stalin understood, given enough time, agents of State-sanctioned cruelty can break any man. Thomas J. Ball, who committed suicide by self-immolation on the steps of New Hampshire's Cheshire County Courthouse on June 15, was a man who had been broken by the State. A lengthy suicide note/manifesto he sent to the Keene Sentinel, which was published the day after his death, described how his family had been destroyed, and his life ruined, through the intervention of a pitiless and infinitely cruel bureaucracy worthy of Stalin's Soviet ...

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CBS) -- A judge in Corpus Christi, Texas had some harsh words for a mother charged with spanking her own child before sentencing her to probation. "You don't spank children today," said Judge Jose Longoria. "In the old days, maybe we got spanked, but there was a different quarrel. You don't spank children." Rosalina Gonzales had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of injury to a child for what prosecutors had described as a "pretty simple, straightforward spanking case." They noted she didn't use a belt or leave any bruises, just some red marks. As part of the plea deal, Gonzales will serve five years probation, during which ...

President George W. Bush's White House ordered the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to find information to "discredit" a liberal University of Michigan professor who was critical of the Iraq war, according to a recent report. Former CIA officer Glenn Carle told The New York Times' James Risen that while he was working as a counterterrorism expert for the agency in 2005, the Bush White House asked intelligence officials to uncover sensitive information about Professor Juan Cole on at least two occasions. Cole, an expert on the Middle East, writes a popular blog where he has often used Arabic news sources to counter the official U.S. Iraq war narrative. Carle said that ...

If you happened to be watching the Live CNN Polling the night of the debate, you may have noticed something odd about the results: Are we really to believe Ron Paul polled at 0% after having won the CPAC straw poll decisively in February of 2011? At the very same time CNN ran their “insider” poll showing Ron Paul at 0%, their online poll showed him at 81%. Granted, the online poll could be skewed and we can probably attribute a good portion of those online votes to alternative media readers who get most of their news on the internet, but 0% just doesn’t seem remotely plausible.There is a concerted effort to diminish Dr. Paul’s standing among republican voters, as has ...
