It’s hard to even believe that this President served in our lifetime. He comes to us now as an obscure figure out of the not-so-distant past.
His simple and straightforward faith in God, and in America, was winsome and poignant.
One cannot help but be struck by the stark contrast to the current occupant of the White House, 21st Century America, and of the vanguard of the GOP.
Ronald Reagan spoke deeply to the American soul.
It wasn’t just because he was a great communicator, which he was. But rather because again and again he reminded us of our genesis as a people, and thus of our identity.
His words brought a reassurance and hope that only comes with the knowledge that we are indeed ‘One Nation under God . . .’

In an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox News, Judge Andrew Napolitano discussed emails from the Department of Agriculture proving the sequester cuts not to be predetermined.
Contrary to what the President’s earlier claims, the released emails proved that there exists broad discretionary powers with respect to how the cuts are implemented.
Napolitano concluded that if the President is actually spending money to harm America rather than make the government run efficiently, it is an impeachable offense.
Eric Holder today called drone use to assassinate American citizens on US soil potentially “appropriate” and “necessary” in some cases.
Senator Rand Paul calls the administration’s claims “disturbing.” He pointed out that what we’re discussing is not just administration of justice, as in detention or other lesser measures. What we’re talking about is administering the death penalty without respect to the judicial process.
Paul went on to say that there is an enormous amount of hypocrisy with respect to these issues in the Obama administration.

Star Parker, the black conservative who founded C.U.R.E. — the Center for Urban Renewal and Education — is raising eyebrows with her latest 30-second ad released late last week title , “Never Again.”
The clip, which presents powerful images of the KKK and hangings of blacks in America, also makes the case that the latest round of gun control laws could threaten the safety and security of African Americans.
Here is the entire section of the “Black Code” mentioned above. It outlawed firearms ownership by blacks:
4. PENAL LAWS OF MISSISSIPPI
Sec. 1. Be it enacted,…That no freedman, free negro or mulatto, not in the military service of the United States government, and not licensed so to do by the board of police of his or her county, shall keep or carry fire-arms of any kind, or any ammunition, dirk or bowie knife, and on conviction thereof in the county court shall be punished by fine, not exceeding ten dollars, and pay the costs of such proceedings, and all such arms or ammunition shall be forfeited to the informer; and it shall be the duty of every civil and military officer to arrest any freedman, free negro, or mulatto found with any such arms or ammunition, and cause him or her to be committed to trial in default of bail.

Photo Credit: Daily Caller Former Clinton administration federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy told The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas that the Obama administration’s response to the attack on America’s consulate in Benghazi, Libya last September was a “shocking dereliction of duty” and that “decisive action could have saved American lives.”
“I use the term ‘dereliction of duty’ with all due care, because dereliction of duty is an impeachable offense,” said the former prosecutor. “But this is the most gross dereliction of duty under these circumstances from a commander in chief and his immediate subordinates that I ever remember seeing in my experience. And we haven’t gotten an explanation … if there were coherent reasons why no action was taken.”
“What we do know is … that they lied about the cause of the violence there,” he added. “I mean, they serially lied.”
In the interview, McCarthy also claims that the Obama administration continues to work with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to find agreement on U.N. Human Rights Council Resolution 16/18, which would deem it unlawful to incite hostility toward religion.

Photo Credit: KAZVorpalA senior White House official says congressional Republicans who see the damage caused by billions in automatic spending cuts will eventually agree to raise taxes.
Gene Sperling, director of the National Economic Council and assistant to the president for economic policy, said that Republicans will eventually “choose bipartisan compromise over an ideological position,” on Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
“As this pain starts to gradually spread to communities” hit by $85 billion in cuts “more Republican colleagues who are concerned about this harm to their constituents will choose bipartisan compromise on revenue raising tax reform with serious entitlement reform,” said Sperling.
“They’ll choose this bipartisan compromise over what is an ideological position that every single penny of deficit reduction going forward must be on the middle class or seniors or children, and that there can’t be one penny that comes from closing loopholes or tax expenditures,” he added.
The automatic across-the-board cuts took effect on Friday after congressional leaders and President Obama were unable to broker a last-minute replacement deal. Democrats are calling for new tax revenues in any deal to replace the sequester, while Republicans insist that only other targeted cuts and entitlement reforms be included.

(AP) (CNSNews.com) – Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Howard “Buck” McKeon (R-Calif.) said on Friday that he has never seen such a lack of honesty from President Barack Obama over the sequester budget cuts, adding, “I don’t know what extent this White House will go to, but it’s got to end.”
“I have never in my lifetime seen such a lack of leadership and truth-telling emanating from the White House and from our commander-in-chief,” McKeon said during a press conference on Capitol Hill as the across-the-board spending cuts, known as the sequester, apparently were going into effect.
The cuts, which constitute $44 billion less in increased spending in 2013, constitute about 1.2 percent of the federal budget for this year.

Appearing as a guest on the Sean Hannity Show on the Fox News Channel last night, Dr. Ben Carson disclosed that a member of the White House staff, before his speech last month to the National Prayer Breakfast, had urged him “not (to) offend the president.” Additionally, Dr. Carson said the White House requested to see his speech before the event. When asked by Hannity, Dr. Carson said he believed it was wise that he did not disclose the White House member who made that request before the National Prayer Breakfast.
Dr. Benjamin Carson, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008, is the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Carson is also the author of America the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great.
Hannity said, “Dr. Carson made headlines last month when he dared to speak truth to power about where we stand as a nation,” in reference to his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast where he sharply disagreed with President Obama’s views on health care reform and several other issues. Dr. Carson also, in that same speech, gave his views on how political correctness stifles open discussion and debate on key issues.
This is just the latest in several stories about how the White House has been accused of either attempting to control events where the president appears or appearing to want to control the message from these events or how they are covered in the media.

Peter Schiff says the sequestration flap is much ado about nothing, characterizing the $85 Billion in cuts as “trivial.”
According to Schiff, we are headed for an economic crisis worse than 2008. He believes our whole economy will topple.
What is allegedly at stake is the vulnerability of the dollar. He maintains that we have learned nothing from the last crisis and continue to repeat the mistakes of the past.
What does it all mean? The bottom will drop out of the economy become Obama is finished with his second term. That’s Schiff’s prediction.

Thousands of illegal immigrants ticketed for deportation have been released from federal detention centers in recent weeks, according to a report that came out even as the White House and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano denied any involvement in the policy.
Plans to release illegal immigrants in anticipation of looming budget cuts were announced earlier this week, but the report by The Associated Press detailed the policy had already taken effect and on a much larger scale. Citing federal documents, the agency said more than 2,000 illegal immigrants facing deportation had been released from immigration jails and plans exist to release 3,000 more people by the end of the month.
The newly disclosed figures are significantly higher than what the Obama administration acknowledged this week as a “few hundred” who were released without the White House’s direct knowledge. And on Friday, Napolitano, whose agency oversaw the move, said the decision to release illegal immigrants was made “in the field,” and without her knowledge.
Republicans in Congress, already critical of the plan to release illegal immigrants, demanded details, including the number of illegal immigrants released and the nature of any criminal charges they were facing as part of the deportation process.
“Simply blaming budget reductions as a means to turn a blind eye toward the national security of the American people is a dangerous plan, and one that calls into question the department’s preparations for sequestration,” wrote two Republican lawmakers, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
