Police: 'Documented gang members' killed mother of 4 inside bakery

Kelly Hunnewell
By Jason Old 
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -
The Columbia Police Department has arrested three men in connection with the killing of a Columbia mother of four last week. 

Crimestoppers tips led to the apprehension of Troy Stevenson, 18, Lorenzo Young, 18 and a 16-year-old, Columbia Police Chief Ruben Santiago said Monday afternoon.
All three have been charged with murder, kidnapping, attempted armed robbery and various other crimes, Santiago said. The juvenile, who is related to one of the suspects, will be tried as an adult.
The chief said Stevenson and Young are documented gang members. "That's what these gang members did, they committed a murder," said Santiago.
The body of 33-year-old Kelly L. Hunnewell was discovered by a neighbor early Monday morning inside a bakery at 93 Tommy Circle.
The case captured the attention of thousands in the Midlands after police released surveillance video of three men who entered the bakery around 3:30 a.m. and then hurriedly left after one of them shot Hunnewell.

Santiago said investigators believe the three went to the area to rob a club next door to the bakery but they moved on to the bakery when they discovered the club to be closed.
According to police, it appears Young and Stevenson went into the bakery while the juvenile stayed outside to serve as a "lookout."
Investigators said after the men entered, Hunnewell saw a man who had a weapon and swatted at him. That's when the shots were fired.
"She put up a fight," said Santiago. "She just really stood her ground and said, 'I'm not gonna take this.'"
Hunnewell was working the early shift to be able to spend more time with her children, family members said in the days following the homicide.
The family has set up a trust fund for Kelly's children. They say they were unable to cover Kelly's burial expenses and wish to help provide for her children at they get older. If you'd like to donate, click here.

 Madonna, Lady Gaga Violated Russian Visas: Officials
[Note: Madonna and Lady Gaga were both products of the Catholic School system...where did they go wrong?...oh wait...they fell to temptation of the world at their feet.Fame/Fortune as promised by Satan..as was taught by Jesus in his Wilderness proverbs!]

Madonna and Lady Gaga could face prosecution in Russia for violating the terms of their visa to enter the country, officials there say. The singers were each allowed in to Russia on "cultural exchange" visas,  The Guardian reports, which don't permit commercial activity like performing concerts.
Russian authorities say Madonna, who performed there in August 2012, and Gaga, who played there in December, arrived on cultural-exchange visas, which "do not grant their bearers the right to engage in any commercial activity." Prosecutors are considering their options in asking the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Federal
Migration Service to press charges against Madonna and Gaga.
The New Immortals: Lady Gaga
The office of Russia's prosecutor general began an investigation after a complaint from Vitaly Milonov, a St. Petersburg legislator who authored the city's controversial anti-gay legislation, which Madonna spoke out against during a performance there last August. Milonov later accused her of performing without the proper paperwork. Lady Gaga is also a vocal ally for LGBT causes.
Russian promoters are now on edge regarding future tours from foreign artists and tourism around the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi next year. "Not one artist, circus or exhibition will come here if the prosecutor's office fines someone now," Yevgeny Finkelstein, head of the St. Petersburg-based PMI media holding, told RIA Novosti.

CNN confirms WND reporting on gun-running in Benghazi


rofl @ Dem Pundits... sorry Bob Beckel ya ain't no Eye of the Tiger...Rocky 1-4 continuing saga et al

cue: http://youtu.be/PsJK7tlBQOQ



by:  Aaron Klein 

CNN is reporting lawmakers are speculating on the possibility U.S. agencies operating in the Benghazi compound attacked Sept. 11, 2012, were secretly helping to transfer weapons from Libya, via Turkey, to the rebels in Syria.
That possibility was first reported by WND two weeks after the Benghazi attack, when the news agency cited Egyptian security officials who said murdered U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens played a central role in arming and recruiting rebels to fight Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
In November 2012, Middle Eastern security sources further described both the U.S. mission and nearby CIA annex in Benghazi as an intelligence and planning center for U.S. aid to the rebels, which included weapons shipments being coordinated with Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Many rebel fighters are openly members of terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida.
The information may help determine what motivated the deadly attacks in Benghazi.
The State Department told CNN it was helping the new Libyan government destroy weapons deemed “damaged, aged or too unsafe retain” but denied it was transferring weapons to other countries.
The State Department, however, clarified it “can’t speak for any other agencies.”
The CIA would not comment to CNN on the weapons-transfer reports.
Meanwhile, clarification on the weapons transfers may have inadvertently come through recent statements by a Libyan weapons dealer from a group hired to provide security to the U.S. mission in Benghazi. The dealer told Reuters he has helped ship weapons from Benghazi to the rebels fighting in Syria.
The detailed account may provide more circumstantial evidence the U.S. Benghazi mission was secretly involved in procuring and shipping weapons to the Syrian opposition before the deadly attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

In an interview with Reuters published in June, Libyan warlord Abdul Basit Haroun declared he is behind some of the biggest shipments of weapons from Libya to Syria. Most of the weapons were sent to Turkey, where they were then smuggled into neighboring Syria, he said.
Haroun explained he sent a massive weapons shipment from the port in Benghazi in August 2012, days before the attack on the U.S. compound. The weapons were smuggled into Syria aboard a Libyan ship that landed in Turkey purportedly to deliver humanitarian aid.
Ismail Salabi, a commander of the February 17 Brigade, told Reuters that Haroun was a member of the Brigade until he quit to form his own brigade.
The February 17 Brigade provided external security to the attacked Benghazi U.S. compound, including the villa where Stevens lived when he was in Benghazi. Stevens held his last meeting with a Turkish diplomat in the compound and ultimately died there in the attack.
The February 17 Brigade is part of the al-Qaida-linked Ansar Al-Sharia, a militia that advocates the strict implementation of Islamic law in Libya and elsewhere.
Ansar al-Sharia initially used Internet forums and social media to claim responsibility for the Benghazi attack. Later, a spokesman for the group denied it was behind the attack. 
Witnesses told reporters they saw vehicles with the group’s logo at the scene of the Sept. 11 attack and that gunmen fighting at the compound had stated they were part of Ansar al-Sharia.
Some witnesses said they saw Ahmed Abu Khattala, a commander of Ansar al-Sharia, leading the attack. Contacted by news media, Khattala denied that he was at the scene.
Meanwhile, a Libyan official speaking to Reuters said he had allowed weapons to leave the port of Benghazi for Syria.

MANPADS
Haroun told Reuters he runs the weapons smuggling operation with an associate, who helps him coordinate about a dozen people in Libyan cities collecting weapons for Syria.
In May, WND reported the U.S. Benghazi compound was involved in weapons collection efforts.
In a largely unnoticed speech to a think tank seven months before the Benghazi attack, a top State Department official described an unprecedented multi-million-dollar U.S. effort to secure anti-aircraft weapons in Libya after the fall of Gadhafi’s regime.
The official, Andrew J. Shapiro, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, said U.S. experts were fully coordinating the collection efforts with the Libyan opposition.
He said the efforts were taking place in Benghazi, where a leading U.S. expert was deployed.
In January, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confirmed the efforts when she told Congress the CIA was leading a “concerted effort to try to track down and find and recover … MANPADS” looted from Gadhafi’s stockpiles.
Haroun did not mention any U.S. involvement in his weapons dealings.

However, last March the New York Times reported the CIA had worked with rebel commanders to coordinate the shipment of arms to the Syrian rebels since early 2012.
Last year, Business Insider alleged a connection between Stevens and a reported September shipment of SA-7 MANPADS and rocket-propelled grenades from Benghazi to Syria through Turkey.
Syrian rebels then reportedly began shooting down Syrian military helicopters with SA-7s.
Stevens’ last meeting on the night of the Benghazi attack was with Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin.
One source told Fox News that Stevens was in Benghazi “to negotiate a weapons transfer in an effort to get SA-7 missiles out of the hands of Libya-based extremists.”

‘Largest weapons shipment’
Fox News may find another one of its exclusive reports vindicated.
In October 2012, Fox News reported the Libyan-flagged vessel Al Entisar, which means “The Victory,” was received in the Turkish port of Iskenderun, 35 miles from the Syrian border, just five days before Stevens was killed.
The shipment, disguised as humanitarian aid, was described as the largest consignment of weapons headed for Syria’s rebels.
Fox News reported the shipment “may have some link to the Sept. 11 terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.”
That shipment seems to be the one described by Haroun in his Reuters article.
Both Haroun and his associate described an August 2012 shipment with weapons hidden among about 460 metric tons of aid destined for Syrian refugees.
A recent U.N. report appears to confirm that weapons were hidden in the Al Entisar.
A U.N. Panel found that the loading port for the shipment was Benghazi, that the exporter was “a relief organization based in Benghazi” and the consignee was the same Islamic foundation based in Turkey that Haroun told Reuters had helped with documentation.

Did Obama break law to win re-election?


obama-toast-beer
by:  wnd exclusive
Did Barack Obama win re-election by violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?
This is the question posed by former Homeland Security attorney Stewart Baker, a blogger for The Volokh Conspiracy, a group blog organized by Eugene Volokh, a professor of American law at the UCLA School of Law.
Baker’s credentials make the question a serious one.
A partner in the Washington office of Steptoe & Johnson LLP, he returned to private law practice after serving for three and a half years as the assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Homeland Security, where he created and managed the 250-person DHS Policy Directorate responsible, among other duties, for relationships with law enforcement and public advisory committees.
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, enacted by Congress in 1986, is a broadly written law that in practice regulates virtually all computers and cellphones, largely because communications over the Internet tends to have implications for interstate commerce.

Baker argued that the Obama presidential campaign in 2012 possibly violated the act by an arrangement with Obama supporters posting on Facebook. It allowed the Obama campaign to search the person’s Facebook network for likely voters the campaign could identify as unmotivated or unregistered.
The likely voters would then get tailored messages from their Facebook friends urging them to register and turn out.
Jerome Corsi’s “What went Wrong: The Inside Story of the GOP Debacle of 2012 … and How it can be Avoided Next Time” is available at WND’s Superstore!
Baker’s appreciation for the creativity of the tactic was moderated by his conclusion the tactic might have been a criminal violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

“It’s clever. It’s the future,” Baker conceded. “And it’s a violation of the CFAA. Facebook doesn’t let users share access to their accounts, and anything Facebook doesn’t authorize is very likely a federal crime.”
Baker explained that Facebook’s customer service agreement was written to limit access to information, not just use of the information.
“Maybe the campaign never thought about the possibility that it was violating federal law,” Baker wrote. “That’s not a scandal, though it strikes me as unlikely that not one of these tech-savvy geeks failed to notice that they were breaching Facebook’s terms of service.”
Given the importance of turnout to the outcome of the 2012 presidential campaign, Baker argued President Obama arguably won re-election by violating federal law or by getting special treatment from Facebook, and maybe from federal prosecutors as well.
“I think this issue will go mainstream,” Baker insisted. “Half the country will want to know exactly how that happened. And I don’t see how the extraordinary discussion conferred by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act can survive the storm that follows.”

Trolling for voters
WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi, author of the WND book “What Went Wrong: The Inside Story of the GOP Debacle of 2012 … And How It Can Be Avoided Next Time,” agrees.
“There is no doubt the Obama computer strategies and capabilities gave Obama an advantage in 2012,” Corsi said. “A major goal of the Obama voter intelligence campaign was to network from strong Obama supporters to find likely Obama voters that could be converted into Election Day votes.”
Corsi pointed out that despite Obama winning six of the seven swing states in play in 2012, many of the key states were very close, within reach for Romney had Republican turnout been higher.
In 2012, when all the precincts were counted, Obama won Ohio by only 103,481 votes, approximately 2 percent of all votes cast in the state, and he won Florida by 73,189 votes, approximately 1 percent of all the votes cast.
“Turnout was the key to victory in 2012,” Corsi pointed out. “Approximately 6.7 million fewer white voters voted in 2012 than voted in 2008. Romney got 59 percent of the white vote. The white voters who stayed home were the conservatives. Had Romney gotten the same numbers of white voters to the polls as McCain got in 2008, Romney could well have been president.”

Maximizing turnout in the Democratic Party base was a necessary strategy for Obama to be re-elected, Corsi pointed out, stressing that Obama got 4.5 million fewer votes in 2012 than in 2008.
“The Obama team had the social science studies that showed how you can increase turnout by telling a prospective voter how his or her neighbors plan to vote,” Corsi noted.
He said the Facebook strategy analyzed by Baker is “very powerful, when the Obama campaign accesses your friends to ask if they know you plan to vote for Obama.”
If Baker is correct, Corsi stressed, the Facebook strategy rapidly moves into the liability column if the Obama campaign did not adequately research the information-access restrictions of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
“The geeks in the ‘cave’ in Obama’s Chicago campaign headquarters were trolling for votes over the Internet wherever and however they could find them,” Corsi said. “It would not surprise me if Obama’s computer geniuses cut legal corners on the Internet, much like hackers couldn’t care less if they violate a few federal laws breaking through firewalls.”

FAA wants $500,000 or no AirVenture?

http://youtu.be/NDwjguYqLuk 




Excellent Sense Of Oshkosh Air Show Oshkosh Air Show (5) – World ...
oped: So the Obama administration not only hates jobs,oil,Christians,Jews,hetrosexuals,military,conservatives,the Tea Party,the 2nd Amendment, non minorities... now he hates the General Aviation community...!
What would happen if the FAA wasn’t there? What if the bill was not payed? what if someone said AirVenture is to big to fail. What would happen if they closed the strip and pulled the lic. of any pilot that landed. What if they came anyway, would the FAA park tanks on the runway. Sounds like someone is looking for a new job.

Thank you for clearing this up.
They don’t just open the tower at OSH for a week so that “rich people” can fly in.
Hardly any of those people are rich. This is just Obama’s attempt to “make this painful” just like he said he would.
The sequestration plan came straight from the white house.
It was intended to be such a disaster that no one would allow it, supposedly.
he underestimated the stupidity of a few congressman.
Or maybe he didn’t. Maybe he planned to destroy the economy all along by doubling the National Debt.
He hates rich people to begin with and he, like a lot of others commenting on here, are stupid enough to think aviation types are part of the rich. Of course he is too stupid to know the “rich” are paying all the bills so the rest of the whiners on here that pay no federal taxes can go to the government hog trough for their free stuff.
And then some nitwit explains to us that it’s the fault of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
That comment is so stupid it doesn’t even deserve a reply.
It does need to be repeated to demonstrate the pure ignorance of anyone that would make it so :
“Hilarious how in an acknowledged time of necessary sequestration to remedy the Bush deficit abyss and deal with Hannity/Limbaugh/RNC-inspired congressional obfuscation and inaction,”
This is laughable. except to say that at least this guy admits that is was deemed “necessary” and planned from the beginning by Obama.

FAA officials have “demanded” $500,000 from the Experimental Aircraft Association for air traffic control expenses during its AirVenture convention next month or threatened to pull support for the event, EAA officials said Tuesday. In a report in the Fond du Lac Reporter, EAA Chairman Jack Pelton said the FAA’s demand for a contract and advance payment is akin to holding the organization hostage in exchange for air traffic services necessary to keep the event safe. 

Analysis: McCain's deals and 'wacko-bird' barbs are priceless for Obama

oped: Isn't it quite obvious to everyone in the GOP that John McCain is a Democrat in RINO clothing? John McCain and Harry Reid have their proverbial heads up Obamas dark side so far that they would need a flashlight to find their keys and green car to drive back out !


By Thomas Ferraro
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senator John McCain accidentally walked in on President Barack Obama this week when he was addressing a Democrats-only meeting of senators.
"Come on in, John," Obama shouted.
A red-faced McCain turned around and headed out to chuckles and then applause from the Democrats. "My mistake," McCain said.
To the far-right in the Republican Party, there is no mistake about it. In a party that generally brooks no compromise with Obama, McCain is the compromiser-in-chief. He's negotiating with the White House.

And he's in-their-face about it, having recently described as "wacko birds" two of the right's most uncompromising heroes, Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.
A recent article in the conservative National Review described McCain as "Obama's secret weapon" and a "lethal threat" to a Republican victory in the budget battles this fall.
If Obama somehow wins an upcoming fiscal showdown with Republicans, the president may have McCain to thank.
The 2008 Republican presidential nominee, the man Obama beat, is now engaged in talks with a half-dozen fellow Senate Republicans and the White House aimed at trying to craft a bargain on critical fiscal issues to avoid a nasty standoff in the fall that could lead to a government shutdown or a government default, or both.
Obama already owes McCain for brokering the deal last month that allowed the president to overcome Republican objections and fill seven top administration jobs.

And McCain joined four Democrats and three Republicans in drafting the Senate's landmark bill to overhaul U.S. immigration laws, a top Obama priority.
So popular has the Arizona Republican become among Democrats that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid - who in 2008 said, "I can't stand John McCain" - now describes him as a "great senator," right up there with the late Ted Kennedy, the Democratic "lion of the Senate" who became a bridge between parties after his own presidential ambitions were crushed.
"He's become our go-to guy," a senior Democratic aide said of the 76-year-old white-haired senator.
That's an exaggeration. McCain remains a critic of Obama's handling of the deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last September and of what he considers the "disgrace" of Obama's non-intervention in Syria.
But on domestic issues, McCain has emerged as one of the top deal makers in Washington, a Republican Obama can do business with.

MOVING TOWARD THE MIDDLE
McCain said in an interview that he has been able to work more with Obama in part because the president has moved toward the middle in his second term and become more willing to negotiate.
McCain has also moved toward the middle after having veered toward the right in 2010 when he survived a Republican primary challenge and won election back home in Arizona to a fifth, six-year Senate term.
Two unrelated events have helped as well: McCain's new friendship with Charles Schumer, the third-ranking Senate Democrat who worked with McCain on the immigration bill, and Obama's choice of a McCain friend, Denis McDonough, as White House chief of staff.
The three have clicked.
At a time when the top congressional Republicans, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, rarely communicate with the White House, McCain does.
He said he and McDonough talked three times a day during the negotiations over Obama's stalled nominations.

"With all due respect to his predecessors, Denis knows how the Senate works," McCain said of McDonough, whom he knows from McDonough's days as a senior aide to former Democratic Senator Tom Daschle.
"I will continue to pound him (Obama) on Syria. I will continue to pound him on Benghazi," McCain said. "I will continue to pound him on a number of things, particularly on national security.
"But at the same time, I can find common ground with the president on certain issues," McCain said.
"The president won't owe me anything, but he may have a sense of satisfaction from being able to achieve some of the things that we ostensibly came here to do," McCain said.
At the same time he is helping Obama, McCain may be helping himself.
He likes attention as much as any other politician in Washington - and more than many - and there's no better way to get it than to talk about wacko birds.
In a city that rarely makes a deal, his recent feats of deal making have put him at the center of the action in Washington, enhancing his value as one of television's favorite political guests.
"I think John has more job satisfaction now than any time in his career," said Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, one of McCain's closest friends.

"He wanted to be president, but it didn't work out," Graham said. "It takes a while to get over it. Right now, John realizes that the country is in trouble and believes he can help."
"He's back in his groove," Graham said.

CIA using polygraph tests to keep Benghazi secret

The CIA allegedly had “dozens” of agency operatives on the ground at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi during last year’s deadly terrorist attack that ended with the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and four other Americans.
Langley is taking extreme measures to mask the agency’s operations in Benghazi and in northern Libya at the time of the strike, according to CNN.
Agency employees involved with CIA operations in the country are being subjected to monthly polygraph tests, among other counterintelligence measures, an unnamed source told CNN.

Yale’s Declaration On Rape Proves Why Collegiate Females Should Be Allowed To Carry


Dana Loesch
Via Jezebel, who also supported disarming women on campus out of concern for the rapists:
The 2011 federal Title IX investigation into Yale ended with a voluntary resolution agreement between the University and the DOE’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR); Yale didn’t face any disciplinary action for creating a “hostile sexual environment,” but was required to implement new grievance procedures and report to the OCR until May 31, 2014. The university has made some great structural changes, said Alexandra Brodsky (’12 LAW ’16), one of the 16 students and alumni who filed a Title IX complaint, but this most recent report shows that “very little has changed.”
[...]
Based on our analysis of the report, Yale has formally found sufficient evidence against six perpetrators of “nonconsensual sex” so far in 2013.* Of these six perpetrators, only one was suspended, and only for one year. Four received “written reprimands,” and one is on “probation.”
It’s like progressive women are just now discovering the brutally high college rape statistics. I wrote on this in March at the height of the Colorado conceal carry battle on college campuses:

I’ve written before how gun control is the real war on women. Some facts for Hudak:
According to the FBI, Americans use firearms in self defense 2.1 million times annually. Cases where firearms are used criminally amount to 579,000. Seventy percent of those cases are carried out by criminal repeat offenders. Barrett and Democrats would seek to punish those protecting themselves rather than the criminals.
There is a war on women, and it’s coming from the left to turn women into victims. Note this (bold my emphasis):
  • In the vast majority of those self-defense cases, the citizen will only brandish the gun or fire a warning shot.
  • In less than 8% of those self-defense cases will the citizen will even wound his attacker.
  • Over 1.9 million of those self-defense cases involve handguns.
  • As many as 500,000 of those self-defense cases occur away from home.
  • Almost 10% of those self-defense cases are women defending themselves against sexual assault or abuse.
Consider this: One in four collegiate women report rape and one in five are raped.
Hudak’s argument that a woman could be disarmed and her firearm used on her flies in the face of FBI crime statistics and presupposes that the woman won’t fire and/or is incapable of properly using a firearm. See, Amanda Collins was overpowered, disarmed, and left to be a victim. By Nevada lawmakers. Not her rapist. Just what Hudak said would happen, though not exactly.

I hardly expect universities who refuse to allow women the right of self protection to assist in protecting women by at least classifying rape as rape and not “nonconsensual sex” and allow rapists to stay on campus.
If only these women were allowed the pro-choice right of choosing their self defense …

Obama – Divider-in-Chief – Says Race Relations May Worsen if He Doesn’t Get What He Wants

The man behind the curtain...
by  

Barack Obama, the great Divider-in-Chief, has been doing whatever he can to convince people that his way is the best way, even though the facts provide an opposite picture. Aside from his usual rhetoric, he is now, once again, emphasizing race relations as a reason to ensure that his agenda becomes the law of the land.
In a recent speech (if he isn’t pontificating, he’s vacationing), he essentially said that if Congress doesn’t get in gear and apply his prescriptions to America’s economy, things will get worse. “If we don’t do anything, then growth will be slower than it should be. Unemployment will not go down as fast as it should. Income inequality will continue to rise…Racial tensions won’t get better; they may get worse, because people will feel as if they’ve got to compete with some other group to get scraps from a shrinking pot. If the economy is growing, everybody feels invested.” (emphasis added)

Basically, in spite of the undeniable fact that Obama’s programs (like Obamacare) are destroying America’s economy, he has the gall to say that if Congress doesn’t do what he wants done, then not only will unemployment continue to rise, but race relations will worsen.
Yet, he and other Democrats are totally behind immigration “reform” that will do nothing but hurt those people already having a tough time getting or keeping jobs because of the economy that Obama has done nothing to help. The sad fact is that people hear his speeches and applaud them, fully believing what he says. There is a huge disconnect between Obama’s reality and the actual reality that is affecting millions of Americans daily. People need to start reading into the plans behind the North American Union. Search it out to find out more.

Mr. Obama’s plan appears to be decimating America’s economy. If that’s the case, then he’s doing a perfectly wonderful job.
He just took a vacation to Africa that cost taxpayers over $100 million. He’s planning another one to Martha’s Vineyard that will cost millions more. How many vacations does this man need? Meanwhile, we’ve got sequestration that is affecting millions of people and the economy is killing businesses left and right and many jobs with it. People are suffering. Not him. Not his family. He treats himself like a king on the taxpayer’s dime and punishes the average citizen when Congress doesn’t comply with his demands.

The most troubling part of what Obama says though is how the worsening of our economy may affect race relations negatively. He is simply planting seeds of discontent. He is giving minorities a reason to go on the warpath if Obama doesn’t get what he wants. He is, in a very real way, telling minorities to take note of what happens and if his agenda is not rolled out, then they should take their frustrations out on whites. That is the implication and this is not what a president – who is supposed to represent all people – do. This type of rhetoric is despicable, yet this is what Obama does. Many blacks have asked things like, “what do you mean, Obama has made race relations worse? He’s telling it like it is!” and that is what they firmly believe.
I know plenty of white people who are working two to three jobs just to try to make ends meet. Some have no job at all and have been out of work too long. Where is the help for them? What about all of the things Obama has asked for and received from Congress and yet it’s clear that we are not one step closer to a better economy. In fact, our economy continues to worsen on a weekly, if not daily, basis.

Obamacare, if it doesn’t cave in on itself, is going to be the most costly program that our government ever created. We already know that the promises about paying less for insurance and being able to keep your own doctor are promises that will not come to pass. In some states, insurance premiums have risen or are slated to rise by up to %140. How is this creating better situations for the average American?
In the end, the truth is that Obama may be fighting a losing battle and knows it. He may realize that he stands a good chance of watching the Democrats lose seats in 2014. If so, he will not get what he wants. It won’t stop him though because he will likely continue to do whatever he wants to do and it appears as though no one in Congress knows how or is willing to take the necessary steps to stop him. It’s all talk, hearings, and more talk. He’s a rogue president. He does what the global elite tells him to do. They are his master(s) and he is their willing slave.
He doesn’t work for the American people. We only pay him and pay for his many vacations. He works for the global elite. He routinely sends millions and billions of American taxpayer dollars overseas for “projects” all the while, Americans here at home receive little to nothing. How is it that this administration can ignore Congress and continue to send that type of money overseas while Americans at home are without work and being hemmed in on every side? Meanwhile, Obama says that things may get worse.

Yes, things will get worse because he has no interest in doing anything that will help America’s economy. He seems hell bent on destroying it, while blaming others.
Tighten your seat belts folks, because the ride ahead appears to be very bumpy. Take stock of yourself and your family. Obama certainly isn’t and neither is Congress. Trouble is coming, encouraged by the man in the Oval Office.



Family Innocently Googles ‘Pressure Cooker’ And ‘Backpack’ – Cops Show Up

oped: Just *Shakes my Head* seems many  Law Enforcement agencies have lost the ability to reason since Obama became the illegal POTUS..sad state of affairs folks. Swat teams are going way out of line and being deployed for normal LE functions...time to rein them in..they are hired to serve ,protect and keep the peace...not combat operations!
prime example:
                       [Activists and homeowner evicted from foreclosed house by SWAT team ...]

by
A Long Island writer needed a new pressure cooker and wanted to compare brands. Internet, right? Her husband, meanwhile, wanted a new backpack and decided to do a little online shopping. The couple’s 20 year-old son, meanwhile, had avidly kept up with the news coverage of the Boston Marathon terror attack. He’s a news junkie; a child of the Digital Age, so he got his news from the internet.
“This was weeks ago,” blogged pressure cooker-shopper Michele Catalano Thursday. “I don’t know what took them so long to get here. Maybe they were waiting for some other devious Google search to show up but ‘what the hell do I do with quinoa’ and ‘Is A-Rod suspended yet’ didn’t fit into the equation so they just moved in based on those older searches. I was at work when it happened. My husband called me as soon as it was over, almost laughing about it but I wasn’t joining in the laughter. His call left me shaken and anxious.”
Why was she so distressed? Because six cops identifying themselves as part of a “joint terrorism task force” showed up at her house. They wanted to know about her husband’s ancestry. If they’d ever looked up instructions on how to make a pressure cooker bomb. If they had a bomb. If they had a pressure cooker. They asked to search the house.
Since Catalano and her family are all “U.S. Persons” and aren’t subject to the FISA laws enabling the Feds to surveil people they’re 51 percent sure might be foreign-born terrorists, it’s an open question how the officers (legally) came to know the family’s internet habits.
Various news agencies late Thursday still hadn’t been able to determine which law enforcement agencies supplied officers for the would-be terror raid.



SWAT Cops In Wisconsin Protect Public From Deadly… Fawn

oped: wth is wrong with our LE nowdays...have they all gone off the deep end or just plain crazy?

by

Nine brave Department of Natural Resource agents and four valiant sheriff’s deputies in Wisconsin descended upon a no-kill animal shelter in the State two weeks ago, armed to the teeth and in search of a dangerous fugitive: A young spotted fawn that had been abandoned by its mother.

According to WISN 12, the officials in Kenosha, Wis., swarmed the Society of Saint Francis animal shelter when they learned that the shelter was harboring the young animal in violation of a State law forbidding the possession of wildlife.
“It was like a SWAT team,” shelter employee Ray Schulze told reporters.
He continued, “(There were) nine DNR agents and four deputy sheriffs, and they were all armed to the teeth,” Schulze said.
Via WISN 12: 
Schulze videotaped the fawn they named Giggles during the two weeks she was there. The Department of Natural Resources began investigating after two anonymous calls reporting a baby deer at the no-kill shelter.
The warden drafted an affidavit for the search warrant, complete with aerial photos in which he described getting himself into a position where he was able to see the fawn going in and out of the barn.
When the agents of the State arrived in SWAT gear to retrieve the animal with a warrant in hand, shelter employees handed the deer over thinking the officers would simply deliver it to the wildlife sanctuary it was scheduled to be shipped to the following day.
But, according to Schulze, he was soon informed by one of the officers on site that agency policy mandated a different fate for the fugitive fawn.
“I was thinking in my mind they were going to take the deer and take it to a wildlife shelter, and here they come carrying the baby deer over their shoulder. She was in a body bag,” Schulze said. “I said, ‘Why did you do that?’ He said, ‘That’s our policy,’ and I said, ‘That’s one hell of a policy.’”
DNR Supervisor Jennifer Niemeyer informed WISN 12 that the money spent on the SWAT raid, the over the top arming of arriving officers and killing the fawn were necessary to protect the public. Because, of course, harboring a baby deer is just as dangerous as selling crack cocaine to school children.
“These are always very difficult situations for both parties involved, and we are empathetic to the fact of what happened because we know in our heart of hearts they tried to do the right thing,” Niemeyer said.
“Could you have made a phone call before showing up, I mean, that’s a lot of resources,” WISN 12 News investigative reporter Colleen Henry asked.
“If a sheriff’s department is going in to do a search warrant on a drug bust, they don’t call them and ask them to voluntarily surrender their marijuana or whatever drug that they have before they show up,” Niemeyer said.


Army Bans Soldiers From Reading About NSA

The U.S. Army has ordered its personnel not to go to the latest postings on the website of the British newspaper The Guardian to read revelations of information given to its reporter because it contains a “TOP SECRET slide show.”
The email, which WND received from a Department of Defense source, was addressed to a couple hundred military personnel and civilians working for DOD. The source who provided the email asked for anonymity.
“Do not go to ‘The Guardian’ news website as they have TOP SECRET slide show on the main page and you will be flagged,” according to the writer from the 304th MIBN, or military intelligence battalion.
“If someone is not included on this email inform them this website is off limits,” the email said. “If anyone has visited this page today and clicked on any ‘NSA program’ slide show please inform me immediately. It is much easier fix (sic) an issue before it becomes a problem then (sic) after it becomes a disaster.”

Saudi Blogger Gets Seven Years, 600 Lashes for "Insulting" Islam

Our friends in Saudi Arabia have sentenced a blogger-activist to seven years in prison and 600 lashes for the terrible crime of "insulting" Islam.
Raif Badawi has been in jail since June, 2012 and ran afoul of authorities after starting a "Free Saudi Liberals" site in 2008. I've been unable to find examples of the material that culminated in his conviction (if you have them, please send them along and I'll post here).

From CNN:
"This incredibly harsh sentence for a peaceful blogger makes a mockery of Saudi Arabia's claims that it supports reform and religious dialogue," said Nadim Houry, the deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "A man who wanted to discuss religion has already been locked up for a year and now faces 600 lashes and seven years in prison."...
Rights groups accuse Saudi authorities of targeting activists through the courts and travel bans. Many were outraged when two of the country's most prominent reform advocates, Mohammed Al-Qahtani and Abdullah Al-Hamid, were sentenced in March to 10 years in prison apiece.
Amnesty International called that trial "just one of a troubling string of court cases aimed at silencing the kingdom's human-rights activists."

Black man in hoodie stabs white girl 11 times


[ Natasha Martinez, 17, was stabbed outside her NYC home/Photo: CBS 2 ]
via wnd tv
Police in New York City are trying to find a black man wearing a hoodie who is responsible for a horrific attack on a teenage white girl who was stabbed 11 times just steps from her front door.
The knife-wielding maniac ambushed Natasha Martinez, 17, as she returned home from working her shift at a local McDonald’s restaurant.

Hearing her daughter’s screams, Natasha’s mother, Wendy Martinez, came running outside — and the bloodthirsty attacker fled.
“She came home from work, and her body was full of holes,” Wendy Martinez told the New York Daily News.
“I was holding her because she was going to fall. Her face was turning white, and I slapped her. I was telling her, ‘You have to stay alive.’”


[ Wendy Martinez, 40, ran to her daughter's aid after hearing her screams ]

The teen is recovering at Jamaica Hospital, in the borough of Queens, after undergoing surgery for stab wounds to her back, arms, stomach and kidney. Doctors had to remove a vein from her leg and put it in her arm. Her mother describes her condition as “really bad.”
“This is so difficult,” said Natasha’s mom. “You raise your child, take care of them since they were a baby, and then something like this happens.”
Get the book that documents racial violence in America, with hundreds of episodes in more than 80 American cities since 2010, where groups of blacks are assaulting, intimidating, stalking, threatening, shooting, stabbing and killing victims.
Several neighbors said they heard Natasha’s screams the night of the attack.


[ Blood stains on the sidewalk outside the girl's home ]
“I think she was screaming help or something,” witness Christopher Lopez told WCBS-TV.
“Then all of a sudden, I heard the screams get louder and I said, ‘Let me take a look,’” said witness Teddy Betancourt, “and it was the girl’s mother, holding her up, screaming — looked like she passed out.”
Many in the neighborhood were unaware of the attack until police knocked on their doors.
“It’s not a violent environment,” neighbor Edwin Martinez told the TV station. “You know, people don’t get stabbed and shot here. It’s a nice neighborhood.”

Cops are still searching for the assailant and are looking at surveillance video from Monday to see if the suspect may have started following Martinez from McDonald’s or a nearby sandwich shop where she stopped to eat before heading home. A hoodie-wearing man can be seen in the video. Police also recovered a bloody kitchen knife with a 6-inch blade in the building’s vestibule.
“We don’t have an arrest, and we don’t have a motive at this juncture,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
Kelly told WNBC-TV police are also looking into the possibility the attack is connected to another mysterious stabbing of a woman in front of her home in Queens in June.
A 36-year-old woman on her way to work early in the morning was stabbed seven times.
A man wearing a hooded sweatshirt was seen running from the scene in that attack.
“We’re looking at similarities between this and an event that happened in Queens, Kelly told the TV station. “We’re seeing if it’s a pattern here.”
The victims in both cases suffered critical injuries.



The World's Most Homoerotic Homophobes Are Now Mounting a Giant Pole in Tiny Pink Shorts



by:
In France, there wages a (bizarre and perhaps unintentional) war among the country's anti-gay groups. In this war, there is apparently a race to to be, at once, more homoerotic and more homophobic than the next anti-gay group. Today we meet La Manif Pour Tous, who decided a bunch of very fit shirtless men straddling a giant pole is the best way to flaunt their anti-gay stance.
RELATED: A History of Gay Rights Going Mainstream, as Told by Newsweekly Covers
 "Shirtless guys ... on top of one another ... clutching a giant pole ... in pink shorts and those guys are protesting gay marriage? This has to be some kind of joke," your brain is probably telling you. But we kid you not. Those men are holding the logo La Manif Pour Tous, an anti-gay group in France, and are featured on the group's Facebook page. And while those boys look like an ad for a gay adult summer camp, this trend of homoerotic homophobia is actually going on in France. 

RELATED: A Guide to the Last Anti-Gay Marriage Holdouts and What They Really Believe
France legalized same-sex marriage this past May, and has seen a bevy of protests and clashes between supporters and opponents. That big gay vs. anti-gay battle has been punctuated by protests from the anti-gay group Hommen, whose members look rather like the gay men they're protesting against:

RELATED: The World's Most Homoerotic Homophobes Are Storming French Beaches in Tiny Shorts
Most recently, some of the more sinewy members of Hommen stormed the beach of Montpellier (where the first legal same-sex marriage in France was performed) in tiny shorts: 
RELATED: Calling Someone 'Gay' Is No Longer Slander in New York

And while those protests were homoerotic in their own special way, La Manif Pour Tous has them beat in that way that shirtless men on top of another to clutch and climb a large phallic object can. Unlike Hommen, there are pictures of less sinewy members on La Manif's pages, and there do appear to be some female protesters. But there's also male hip-popping and posing: 
And sausage: 
And one more shot of the pole-riding boys: 
Like Hommen, La Manif explains that the focus of these flamboyant, sometimes shirtless, protests is children, who are apparently the true victims of same-sex marriage: 
With plenary adoption for two men or two women, children will be considered, by law, born of two parents of the same sex, thus willingly deprived of a father or a mother. They will be deprived of half their origins. This is profoundly discriminatory and unjust for children [...]

The people of France must stand up for its children, its future...and humankind, made up of man and woman. 
And apparently, the nothing gets that message across better than buff shirtless men and a giant pole.

Hommen, the French anti-gay group made famous by its members' flat abs, protesting shirtless, and being more "gay" than the gay men were protesting is back. With abs flatter than ever, the anti-gay group has set the bar for homoerotic hijinks higher than ever by taking five, wet, sinewy men in tiny swimsuits and cramming them into a tiny boat off of a beach in Montpellier, France. Yes, we're quite aware that there are parts of that last sentence that could resemble any weekend in Provincetown, but that would all be lost on Hommen:

The Chilling History of How Hollywood Helped Hitler (Exclusive)

oped: Lest us not forget that Hollywood in the 1930's was made up of Closet Marxist and  Homosexuals...so it makes sense they supported the Hitler REGIME also notable is Hitler and the Nazi Party became allied with the Middle East and the underground Ottoman Empire...the emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood ~Does not Hollywood of today cozy up to Marxist,LGBT and the Muslim Brotherhood?  : http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/2013/07/homosexuality-hitler-and-sochi.html

This story first appeared in the Aug. 9 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
The 1930s are celebrated as one of Hollywood's golden ages, but in an exclusive excerpt from his controversial new book, The Collaboration: Hollywood's Pact with Hitler (Harvard University Press, on sale Sept. 9), Harvard post-doctoral fellow Ben Urwand uncovers a darker side to Hollywood's past.
Drawing on a wealth of archival documents in the U.S. and Germany, he reveals the shocking extent to which Hollywood cooperated and collaborated with the Nazis during the decade leading up to World War II to protect its business.
Indeed, "collaboration" (and its German translation, Zusammenarbeit) is a word that appears regularly in the correspondence between studio officials and the Nazis. Although the word is fraught with meaning to modern ears, its everyday use at the time underscored the eagerness of both sides to smooth away their differences to preserve commerce. 


The Nazis threatened to exclude American movies -- more than 250 played in Germany after Hitler took power in 1933 -- unless the studios cooperated. Before World War I, the German market had been the world's second largest, and even though it had shrunk during the Great Depression, the studios believed it would bounce back and worried that if they left, they would never be able to return.
Beginning with wholesale changes made to Universal's 1930 release All Quiet on the Western Front, Hollywood regularly ran scripts and finished movies by German officials for approval. When they objected to scenes or dialogue they thought made Germany look bad, criticized the Nazis or dwelled on the mistreatment of Jews, the studios would accommodate them -- and make cuts in the American versions as well as those shown elsewhere in the world.
It was not only scenes: Nazi pressure managed to kill whole projects critical of the rise of Adolf Hitler. Indeed, Hollywood would not make an important anti-Nazi film until 1940. Hitler was obsessed with the propaganda power of film, and the Nazis actively promoted American movies like 1937's Captains Courageous that they thought showcased Aryan values.
Historians have long known about American companies such as IBM and General Motors that did business in Germany into the late 1930s, but the cultural power of movies -- their ability to shape what people think -- makes Hollywood's cooperation with the Nazis a particularly important and chilling moment in history. -- Andy Lewis 


'Victory Is Ours'
On Friday, Dec. 5, 1930, a crowd of Nazis in Berlin seized on an unusual target: the Hollywood movie All Quiet on the Western Front. Recognized in most countries as a document of the horrors of the First World War, in Germany it was seen as a painful and offensive reenactment of the German defeat.
The Nazis, who had recently increased their representation in the Reichstag from 12 to 107 seats, took advantage of the national indignation toward All Quiet on the Western Front. They purchased about 300 tickets for the first public screening, and as they watched the German troops retreat from the French, they shouted: "German soldiers had courage. It's a disgrace that such an insulting film was made in America!" Because of the disruptions, the projectionist was forced to switch off the film. Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels gave a speech from the front row of the balcony in which he claimed that the film was an attempt to destroy Germany's image. His comrades threw stink bombs and released mice into the crowd. Everyone rushed for the exits, and the theater was placed under guard.
STORY: Competing Scholar Challenges Ben Urwand's 'The Collaboration'

The Nazis' actions met with significant popular approval. The situation came to a climax Dec. 11, when the highest censorship board in Germany convened to determine the fate of the film. After a long discussion, the chairman of the board issued a ban: Whereas the French soldiers went to their deaths quietly and bravely, the German soldiers howled and shrieked with fear. The film was not an honest representation of German defeat -- of course the public had reacted disapprovingly. Regardless of one's political affiliation, the picture offended a whole generation of Germans who had suffered through the War.
And so, six days after the protests in Berlin, All Quiet on the Western Front was removed from screens in Germany. "Victory is ours!" Goebbels' newspaper proclaimed. "We have forced them to their knees!"
In Hollywood, the president of Universal Pictures, Carl Laemmle, was troubled by the controversy surrounding his picture. He was born in Germany, and he wanted All Quiet on the Western Front to be shown there. According to one representative, his company had "lost a fine potential business, for the film would have been a tremendous financial success in Germany if it could have run undisturbed."
In August 1931, Laemmle came up with a heavily edited version of the movie that he was convinced would not offend the German Foreign Office. He made a trip to Europe to promote the new version. The Foreign Office soon agreed to support All Quiet on the Western Front for general screening in Germany, under one condition: Laemmle would have to tell Universal's branches in the rest of the world to make the same cuts to all copies of the film. Late in the summer, Laemmle agreed to cooperate with the request.

As months passed, however, Laemmle, who was Jewish, grew worried about something much more important than the fate of his film. "I am almost certain," he wrote in early 1932, "that [Adolf] Hitler's rise to power … would be the signal for a general physical onslaught on many thousands of defenseless Jewish men, women and children." He convinced American officials that he could provide for individual Jews, and by the time of his death in 1939, he had helped get at least 300 people out of Germany.
And yet at precisely the moment he was embarking on this crusade, his employees at Universal were following the orders of the German government. In the first few months of 1932, the Foreign Office discovered unedited versions of All Quiet on the Western Front playing in El Salvador and Spain. The company apologized. Afterward, there were no more complaints; Universal had made the requested cuts all around the world.
The following year, Laemmle made another concession to the Foreign Office: He postponed The Road Back, the sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front. His son, Carl Laemmle Jr., also agreed to change many pictures in Germany's favor. "Naturally," the Foreign Office noted, "Universal's interest in collaboration [Zusammenarbeit] is not platonic but is motivated by the company's concern for the well-being of its Berlin branch and for the German market."
STORY: How Jack Warner Tried to Crush the Postwar German Film Industry (Book Excerpt) 


Throughout the 1930s, the term "collaboration" was used repeatedly to describe dealings that took place in Hollywood. Even studio heads adopted the term. An executive at RKO promised that whenever he made a film involving Germany, he would work "in close collaboration" with the local consul general. A Fox executive said the same. Even United Artists offered "the closest collaboration" if the German government did not punish the studio for the controversial 1930 air combat movie Hell's Angels. According to the Foreign Office, "Every time that this collaboration was achieved, the parties involved found it to be both helpful and pleasant."
All this was a result of the Nazis' actions against All Quiet on the Western Front. Soon every studio started making deep concessions to the German government, and when Hitler came to power in January 1933, they dealt with his representatives directly.
The most important German representative in the whole arrangement was a diplomat named Georg Gyssling, who had been a Nazi since 1931. He became the German consul in Los Angeles in 1933, and he consciously set out to police the American film industry. His main strategy was to threaten the American studios with a section of the German film regulations known as "Article 15." According to this law, if a company distributed an anti-German picture anywhere in the world, then all its movies could be banned in Germany. Article 15 proved to be a very effective way of regulating the American film industry as the Foreign Office, with its vast network of consulates and embassies, could easily detect whether an offensive picture was in circulation anywhere around the world.

Should Saudi Arabia Fear North Dakota? One Man Says Yes


by:

Should Saudi Arabia fear North Dakota? A member of the Saudi royal family says yes.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, founder of Kingdom Holding and a multi-billionaire investor in News Corp, Time Warner and Citigroup, among other companies, has told Saudi Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi that the desert kingdom is making a mistake not to worry about burgeoning U.S. oil and gas production.
In a letter published on Twitter, the prince calls rising American shale gas production "an inevitable threat." Saudi Arabia, he warns, "is almost entirely dependent on oil, and this reality is becoming a source of concern for all."
The Saudi oil minister said in May that he wasn't worried about increased U.S. production from shale, and that OPEC had survived past increases in production from countries outside OPEC.
Oil Train Safety Rule Delayed
According to data compiled by Bloomberg, Saudi Arabia pumped 9.47 million barrels of crude a day in June, down from 9.83 million the year before.
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at GasBuddy.com, said the Saudis had reason to be worried. The U.S. is currently enjoying the highest level of oil production in a quarter-century, around 7.56 million barrels a day.

"The prince is right to recognize not just oil shale production in the U.S.," says Kloza, "but in similar geologic areas that will put pressure on the kingdom." He refers to shale deposits in Europe, China and South America. He predicts the oil industry will see "plenty of shale exploration later in this decade" in those regions.
Further helping the U.S., he says, is reduced domestic consumption. "At the same time we're seeing this shale boom, we're using less oil. It's a function of an aging population: After age 55, driving drops off sharply."
Thai Oil Spill Spreads
The U.S. is well on its way, says Kloza, to achieving production of 8 million to 9 million barrels a day of crude. "It was as low as 5 million not that long ago."
The U.S. strategic petroleum reserve currently has a 200-day supply, which he calls a huge cushion. "For years, we had to struggle to get a 90-day supply."
Williston, N.D., is regarded by some as the epicenter of the shale oil boom. Chuck Wilder, who runs local bookstore Broadway Books, says he remembers the oil shocks of the 1970s, when OPEC "held the U.S. hostage" over oil.
Now, he says, the Saudis "need to get used to the idea that they're not the only ones with oil." As for the royal family feeling fear? "It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch."


The greatest phony America's ever known


by: Ted Nugent 
It is very difficult to ignore accusations of phoniness from the master of all things phony who has dedicated his entire life to one phony scam after another. But when this unprecedented level of criminal abuse of power is so flagrantly dictated from the most powerful man in the world, good Americans should be quivering in our boots.
No, Mr. President, those are not phony tears from Brian Terry’s mother. Those are real tears, unlike your constant phony blather about caring about the middle class as you continue your well-orchestrated kamikaze economic swan dive for the average American family.
And, be assured, you old Chicago ACORN scammaster you, that those were not phony body bags that arrived home from Benghazi. As the greatest phony America has ever known, like your phoniest phony “job” as community organizer, your phony claims to get to the bottom of that horrific dereliction of duty by your phony secretary of state was just another scam of phony smoke and mirrors to placate your phony sheep-like constituency.

Phony is as phony does, Mr. President, but none of the tea party or conservative Republicans’ claims of illegal targeting by your phony IRS jackboots is phony by any stretch of the imagination.
We believe your earlier claims that such accusations were serious was just more of your phony baloney.
You want phony, Mr. President? I give you your top cop of the United States, your own phony attorney general who refuses to charge your Black Panther buddies with any crimes even though you both saw the same footage of your phony buddies committing numerous federal and state felonies when they threatened and intimidated voters in Philadelphia.
Nothing phony about those criminal gangsters.

And with all due respect, your holy phoniness, who can’t see the terminal phoniness of wasting more tax dollars with more phony charges against George Zimmerman in defiance of your own FBI investigation and the same exhaustive evidence that proved his obvious innocence to the jury of his peers and everyone paying attention who was not blinded by your phony racism?
And we mustn’t forget your phony Nobel Peace Prize, or your phony real estate scammaster ripoff artist Tony Rezko, or your phony claims that your phony “Affordable Healthcare” scam will make our healthcare system cheaper and better when just the opposite is guaranteed.
And let’s all be honest here; more of us believe in the American hero Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s thorough investigation into your phony birth certificate and phony history than the phony media’s smoke and mirrors.
We all know that Van Jones is a phony and all your green scams are as phony as phony can be.
We know that your Mao-loving communications czar Anita Dunn is as phony as they come.
Everyone knows your phony claims to “all of the above” for America’s energy independence is dangerously phony.

We know your so-called Department of Justice is as phony as the insane phony claim that your Allah Ahkbar buddy Maj. Hasan is about as guilty of “workplace” violence as I am the tooth fairy.
I could go on and on and on, but in order to avoid the inevitable violent vomiting impetus from more of your nasty phony baloney than America can possibly handle, I would just like to say: “How dare you, Mr. President, claim the nonstop ugly scandals during your Saul Alinsky inspired attack on America are phony, when everyone with a brain, a heart and a soul knows damn well what you are up to and how you are intentionally implementing the ‘Rules for Radicals’ agenda so appropriately dedicated to Satan.”
We know your hope-and-change lie is as phony as it comes. We know the rotten America-hating preacher that married you and baptized your children is a phony man of the cloth, a soiled cloth as it were.
It brings me no pleasure at all to have to admit all this ugliness. But as a participating “We the People” American in this sacred experiment in self-government, it is clearly my duty, a moral obligation that I owe to the hero warriors of the U.S. military and their families for sacrificing so dearly for our God-given individual rights, as guaranteed by the sacred U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
They, and I as a law enforcement officer, took a sacred oath of honor, to defend, protect and enforce the U.S. Constitution. But unlike the president of the United States, we weren’t being phony when we raised our hand and placed our hands on the Holy Bible, and gave our solemn pledge as Americans.

We meant it.
No, these are not phony scandals, but we are heartbroken that we have a phony president.

Secret Sex Tape: Monica Lewinsky Caught On Explicit Recording Telling Bill Clinton, ‘I Could Take My Clothes Off…’

 WENN
monica-lewinsky-broke-book.jpg

From the biggest scandal in American history to hanging with British royalty, Monica Lewinsky has come a long way!
The famous former White House intern keeps a mostly low profile… READ ON

A sex tape that Monica Lewinsky recorded for Bill Clinton at the height of their scandalous affair has leaked, during which the former White House intern is heard planning a secret sexual rendezvous with the president and declaring she is “too cute and adorable” to be ignored.
On the audio tape obtained by The National Enquirer, Lewinsky at one point tries to seduce the commander in chief: “I could take my clothes off and start… well… I know you wouldn’t enjoy that? I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want.”

Lewinsky, who turned 40 last week, made the three-minute, 47 second recording in November 1997 and addressed it to “handsome.”
Details of the sexually explicit tape are in the new issue of the Enquirer, which hits newsstands Thursday.

It was believed to have been destroyed years ago, but a copy was secretly made and has subsequently surfaced.
Lewinsky is the only voice heard.
On it, she tells the 42nd President: “Since I know you will be alone tomorrow evening, I have two proposals for you, neither of which is you not seeing me.”
Lewinsky then orders the leader of the free world to use his secretary, Betty Currie, as a go-between and plan the presidential schedule so they could covertly meet without a formal record of her visit.

“Now the first thing that has to happen is that you need to pre-plan with Betty that you will leave the office at, I don¹t know, at 7, 7:30 so that everyone else who hates me that causes me lots of trouble goes home,” she tells Clinton.
“Then you quickly sneak back and then in the meantime I quickly sneak over and then we can have a nice little visit for, you know, 15 minutes or half an hour. Whatever you want.”
Lewinsky also bemoans how their previous “60 seconds” encounter “was just not enough ­ even though you did look very handsome.”
“Maybe we could go over and watch a movie together and just have kind of, I don¹t know, boxed dinners or something like that,” she says.

“And then that way we don’t have to deal with the problem of me… of there being a record of me going upstairs and we can spend some time together and see a good movie.
“So I don’t know, those are two proposals and you can’t refuse me because I’m too cute and adorable and soon I won’t be here anymore to pop over.
“I’m hoping you will hear this and you will choose which one you want to do and go tell Betty and then she can call me and let me know so I don¹t have to stress out all day and I don¹t have to call her every two hours and bug her because, I know you will find this very hard to believe, but I can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
“I’m very persistent, but um… I really want to see you.”

According to The Enquirer, Lewinsky originally played the tape for Linda Tripp — the woman whose secret telephone tapes of Lewinsky ultimately led to Clinton’s impeachment — on Nov. 20, 1997.
The cassette was delivered to the Oval Office the next day, according to a report by the Office of Independent Counsel Ken Starr.
The tape and other racy mementoes, including love letters Lewinsky wrote to Clinton, were obtained by an individual who was hired as a “cleaner” by individuals close to Lewinsky.
The source kept the sensational material private for the past 15 years and the Clintons reportedly thought the evidence had been destroyed.
“First, I forgot to tell you that the Gingko Blowjoba, or whatever it’s called, was from me,” Lewinsky wrote in one romantic note to Clinton.

“I also included those new Zinc throat lozenges which are rumored to be great.”
In a series of pleading notes, a clearly distraught Lewinsky pestered Clinton to make time for her and begged him to explain why he ended their illicit romance.
The Enquirer reports the emergence of the tape could torpedo Hillary’s expected run for the White House.
“The Clintons thought this sex tape was dead and buried,” said one source. “If this tape and other material are surfacing now, imagine what else must be out there?
“This could be just the tip of theiceberg and the most embarrassing ‘bimbo eruption’ of all for the Clintons.”

And this guy was the GOP candidate in 2008?
John McCain says he’s not sure who he’d support in a Rand Paul – Hillary Clinton match-up in 2016.
The New Republic reported, via HotAir:
IC: Given that you think things are out of control, what do you make of Hillary Clinton’s term as secretary of state?
JM: I think she did a fine job. She’s a rock star. She has, maybe not glamour, but certainly the aura of someone widely regarded throughout the world. I do think it is interesting that the issues where John Kerry is engaging is where Hillary Clinton did not engage in, that those decisions were left to the White House and the National Security Council…
IC: I want to talk about the Senate. It seems to me that the GOP leadership has been frozen by Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.
JM: I am not sure if it has been frozen, but certainly there is an element in the party that has been there prior to [World War II], the isolationist, America-Firsters. Prior to World War I, it was Western senators, and then Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh, and then Taft versus Eisenhower. Even Reagan—Reagan’s presidency was perfect without ever a problem [said sarcastically]—there was an isolationist wing that fought against Reagan. And now the bad economy has exacerbated what has always been out there…

IC: When Hillary Clinton versus Rand Paul occurs in 2016, I guess you are going to have to decide who to vote for, huh?
JM: It’s gonna be a tough choice [laughs].
What a disgrace.
