Fox News Poll: Republicans Have Edge in 2014 Midterm

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Fox NewsThe latest Fox News poll finds that if the 2014 midterm elections were held today, 43 percent of voters would back the Republican candidate in their House district, while 39 percent would vote for the Democrat.

Of course the election isn’t today. It’s five months away. And for the fifth straight time this year, the results on this congressional generic ballot question have reversed in our Fox News poll.

Last month, the Democratic candidate had the edge by three percentage points. In April, the Republican was up by three. In March, it was Democrats +2 and before that it was GOP +2.

Democratic pollster Chris Anderson says this indicates an unsettled environment among voters.

“That said,” Anderson adds, “most other findings in the poll suggest an increasingly favorable environment for the Republicans heading toward the midterms.”

Acting VA Secretary: 18 Vets On Phoenix Wait List Died

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: David Wallace, The Arizona RepublicInvestigators have determined that more than 100,000 veterans nationwide were kept off waiting lists for medical appointments, and Acting Veterans Affairs Secretary Sloan Gibson said the nation will learn Monday how many patients were relegated to “secret lists.”

During a news conference Thursday at the Carl T. Hayden Medical Center in Phoenix, where the VA medical scandal erupted, Gibson also disclosed that at least 18 Arizona veterans died while awaiting doctor appointments, though it remains unclear whether the delayed care is to blame for those fatalities.

Gibson said he had details on 14 of the deaths and it appeared most had contacted the VA for “end of life care.”

“None of that excuses us,” said Gibson. “These lists were not being worked — inexcusable.”

Onlookers Steal Groceries From SUV After Driver Dies in Fatal Crash

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: NaturalNews.comMost Americans are living in a fairytale where they think grocery stores will always have fully-stocked shelves and local police will always respond when they dial 911. In truth, despite the best efforts of our men and women in blue, society sits atop a thin veneer of what I call “feigned politeness,” underneath which festers the ever-present potential for social chaos: thievery, murder and violence.

Today a 23-year-old woman in Houston was killed in a car crash after pulling out of a private drive into fast-moving traffic. After she was killed, onlookers stole the groceries out of the back of her SUV.

As the Houston Chronicle reports (1):

“…eyewitnesses told police they saw people steal groceries out of the dead woman’s SUV.”

It’s not yet clear whether this happened while the mother lay dead in her SUV or after her body was removed. It’s difficult to imagine someone stealing groceries out of a vehicle once emergency responders arrive on the scene, so it seems more likely this theft took place while the woman’s dead body and injured children were still in the vehicle.

It wasn’t that long ago that such a slogan would seem absurd, but political wags are beginning to wonder whether Michelle Obama is mulling a run for Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk’s seat in 2016.

A Thursday column in Reuters suggests that Obama would be the only candidate with a large enough profile to unseat the Republican.

Admiral James Lyons: Hillary’s 2016 Campaign & Hillary Libya Visit Drove Rush for Ambassador Stevens to Set Up Benghazi Consulate Without Security

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Photo Credit: Getty ImagesThe rush to “stand up” the Benghazi Consulate (resulting in inadequate security) was a plan to launch Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential campaign, gone wrong, according to the investigation of Admiral James Lyons working with the Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi, formed by A.I.M. under Roger Aronoff.

The revelations were made on the Conservative Commandos Radio Show broadcasting on WNJC 1360 AM in Philadelphia, on its June 4, 2014 broadcast, by its host Rick Trader and co-host that day Jonathon Moseley. The entire recorded broadcast can be downloaded by using the left-click mouse function ”Save As” clicking here:

What was Ambassador Chris Stevens doing at the lightly-guarded, unsecured consulate in Benghazi, away from the more-secure U.S. Embassy at Tripoli? This remains a mystery about the terrorist attack on the Consulate on September 11, 2012.

Congressional testimony has already established that Hillary Clinton, then U.S. Secretary of State, ordered Ambassador Stevens to “stand up” a satellite Consulate in Benghazi and demanded this be done in a rush. Benghazi is on the other side of Libya from the Tripoli Embassy. But the reasons for this urgent project have never been disclosed or explained by the tight-lipped Obama Administration.

Now, Admiral James Lyons has uncovered that the U.S. State Department plan was for Hillary Clinton to visit Benghazi in October 2012 as a “photo op” or “victory lap” to show that the Obama Administration policy and her work as Secretary of State were successes in Libya.

Federal Double Standard on Endangered Species Laws?

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Photo Credit: Fox News The federal government is not shy about prosecuting those who violate threatened and endangered species laws. But under a new Obama administration policy, wind farm operators are getting 30-year permits to kill protected species.

The government fined marine biologist Nancy Black $12,000 and sentenced her to three years probation for feeding a whale in Monterey Bay.

Just last month, US Fish and Wildlife cited 26-year- old tree trimmer Ernesto Pulido for violating the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act for disturbing a nest of herons. Pulido was hired by the U.S. Postal Service to rid their parking lot in Oakland, Calif. of the birds and the droppings they left behind.

“It’s a violation of federal law,” said conservationist Lisa Owens Viani. “Nesting birds (herons) are protected under federal law.”

Viani arrived at the scene May 3 to find several adult herons circling the trees and five baby herons hiding under a postal truck. She took them to a wildlife rehabilitation center for blood work, fluids and feeding.

The Indians were robbed. They were conned into selling Manhattan for $24 of trinkets in 1626.

That was the worst trade in history. Until now.

President Barack Obama’s trade for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl now joins the infamous list of “Worst Trades in History.”

In the sports world there have been many legendary bad trades. Julius Irving. Kobe Bryant. Nolan Ryan. Hershel Walker to the Minnesota Vikings for an entire team of players and draft picks that led to three Super Bowl victories for the Dallas Cowboys.

Inside the Senate briefing on the Bergdahl prisoner swap: More frustration from Congress with a secretive Obama White House

By On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: This is a FOX News alert. Just minutes ago, right behind us, on Capitol Hill, the Obama administration finished briefing the full Senate on the Bergdahl swap.

EPUBLICAN SENATOR SAXBY CHAMBLISS, who is the ranking member on the Intel Committee, just came from that classified session. He joins us.

Good evening, sir.

SEN. SAXBY CHAMBLISS, R-GA.: Hello, Greta. Good to be with you.

VAN SUSTEREN: Are you satisfied, sir, with what you learned in that classified briefing that the White House was right in not giving you notice that this was going to happen?

CHAMBLISS: No. I’m more convinced than ever, Greta, that the White House played this so close to the vest intentionally and made a determination not to give Congress notice. They — I still don’t know the reason why. I heard what they said today but it made no sense whatsoever. And in my opinion, they made a calculation early on in the process that we’re going to do this and no need to notify Congress.

Oregon School District to Offer Condoms to Students Starting in 6th Grade

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: ben swannAn Oregon school district plans to offer condoms to students starting in sixth grade as part of an updated sex education policy aimed at decreasing teen pregnancy, sparking debate over whether 11-year-olds are too young for such a program.

The plan by the rural Gervais School District comes after a 2013 survey by nursing students found that 7 percent of district high school girls had experienced pregnancy and 42 percent of students reported “never” or “sometimes” using protection.

“Over the past few decades, teen pregnancy in our community has remained somewhat constant, but higher than the board felt comfortable with,” Superintendent Rick Hensel said in a blog post dated Monday.
The district school board approved the sex education policy earlier this month for sixth through 12th graders in the tiny town north of Salem, and Hensel said administrators would hash out details this summer to be implemented in the fall.

The board decided to include middle school students because the middle and high schools are close in proximity and run by the same administration – and because middle school girls are getting pregnant too.

One-Fourth of Total Obamacare Enrollees Have “Data Discrepancies”

/2 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: TownHallThe president’s much-assailed health care law is once again roiled in controversy. According to a government document obtained exclusively by the Associated Press, a reported two million Affordable Care Act “enrollees” have signed up for the program even though their personal information is incorrect. As a result, some consumers might find themselves owing money to the government if they received overly generous subsidies. Others still might find themselves without coverage entirely. The AP reports:

A government document provided to The Associated Press says more than 2 million people who got health insurance under President Obama’s law have data discrepancies that could jeopardize coverage for some.

Two million people works out to about one out of four who signed up, creating a huge paperwork headache for the feds, and exposing some consumers to repayment demands if they got too generous a subsidy — or even loss of coverage.

Obama’s War on the Constitution

/13 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: TownHall “You know I taught constitutional law for 10 years, I take the Constitution very seriously,” then-Sen. Barack Obama said while campaigning in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on March 31, 2008.

“The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all,” Obama continued, “and that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m president of the United States of America.”

More than six years later, we now know that Obama never had any intention of taking the Constitution seriously. Instead, he has violated its core provisions at every turn, launching unauthorized wars, rewriting legislation without Congress’ input, and even creating brand new laws out of whole cloth.

When Obama first uttered the phrase, “If Congress won’t act, I will,” he functionally declared war on the U.S. Constitution. And unless Republicans start standing up to Obama’s lawlessness, our republic may never be the same.

EMBRACING BUSH’S WAR POWERS
Obama made his 2008 promise to “reverse” Bush’s power grab after a supporter questioned why Obama had voted for reauthorization of the Patriot Act in 2006 after he had promised to vote against the legislation when he was a U.S. Senate candidate in 2003.
