He’s Just Ignoring the Constitution’: GOP Rep Says There’s ‘Probably’ Enough Votes to Impeach Obama

 

Appearing on News Radio 910 WSBA, Republican Congressman Lou Barletta asserted that President Obama has broken so many laws that he “probably” would not survive an impeachment vote in the House.
“He’s just absolutely ignoring the Constitution, and ignoring the laws and ignoring the checks and balances,” the Pennsylvania Republican told host Gary Sutton. “The problem is, what do you do? For those that say impeach him for breaking the laws or bypassing the laws – could that pass in the House? It probably could.”

Texas board unwittingly approves reparations for slavery

DALLAS - Dallas County leaders have passed a resolution supporting reparations to African-Americans for years of slavery - without even realizing they had done so.
County commissioners unwittingly gave their OK by unanimously passing a Juneteenth resolution on Tuesday that stated blacks' suffering should be "satisfied with monetary and substantial reparations."
The meeting agenda made no specific mention of it, but it was read aloud by Commissioner John Wiley Price, who introduced the measure.
The resolution went beyond supporting Juneteenth. It included a list of injustices endured by blacks before it endorsed reparations in the final paragraph.
The Dallas Morning News reports other commissioners admitted afterward they hadn't read the resolution before voting.
Commissioner Mike Cantrell, the court's lone Republican, later changed his vote to an abstention, the News reported.
"The reason why I didn't abstain this morning is that I had not received a copy of the resolution," he said.
The vote is nonbinding, so no reparations - through payments or other means - will be made.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING, I NEVER IN MY LIFE OWNED A SLAVE, AND I, SHOULD PAY REPARATIONS ?

Slavery Reparations         Walter E. Williams | Jun 18, 2014  

 

Calls for slavery reparations have returned with the publication of Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Case for Reparations" in The Atlantic magazine (May 21, 2014). In making his argument, Coates goes through the horrors of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow and gross racial discrimination.
First off, let me say that I agree with reparations advocates that slavery was a horrible, despicable violation of basic human rights. The gross discrimination that followed emancipation made a mockery of the guarantees of the U.S. Constitution. I also agree that slave owners and slave traders should make reparations to those whom they enslaved. The problem, of course, is that slaves, slave owners and slave traders are all dead. Thus, punishing perpetrators and compensating victims is out of the hands of the living.

WH on Lerner Emails: 'You've Never Heard of a Computer Crashing Before?'Guy Benson | Jun 17, 2014

 New sneering, dismissive spokesman, same as the old sneering, dismissive spokesman. The Washington Post offers the IRS' version of how Lerner's emails "disappeared."                   

Friendly reminder, America. They think you're stupid:

A top White House official blamed a computer crash for the disappearance of emails from embattled former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner, echoing the explanation the agency gave Congress last week for the two years' worth of missing subpoenaed correspondence. "I think it's entirely reasonable. And it's fact," incoming White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One Monday. "You've never heard of a computer crashing before?" he asked. After the IRS informed Congress of the missing emails last Friday, Republican lawmakers have accused the White House of a cover-up. Earnest called those accusations "not at all surprising and not particularly believable," adding 67,000 emails "sent by or received by" Lerner have been offered to Congress.

Obama Calls Benghazi Suspect Capture 'a Message to the World'Benghazi Suspect Captured by US Special Forces

Two U.S. government officials confirm a front page story by the Libyan news outlet Alwasat featured an image of Ahmed Abu Khattala, the man the U.S. accused of participating in the 2012 Benghazi attack.

 

The U.S. government has captured who it's calling "a key figure" in the attacks two years ago on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, which killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

American military and law enforcement personnel operating in Libya captured Ahmed Abu Khattala, who had been secretly indicted in the U.S. for his alleged role in the attacks.

Khattala, who was captured Sunday, is now in "a secure location outside of Libya," and no civilians or U.S. personnel were harmed in the operation, according to a statement today from a Pentagon spokesman. Two U.S. officials said he is being held on a U.S. Navy ship in the Mediterranean.

"It's important for us to send as a message to the world that when Americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and bring them to justice," President Obama said today.                READ MORE

Awkward: It Only Took 5 Seconds For This Audience To Crush Obama’s Ego

The clips and soundbites keep rolling out of Obama’s speech yesterday at the Hague. It’s almost not even to relevant to mention what he spoke about in detail.

No one claps!
Ok, well ONE guy clapped kind of, and I’m willing to put good money on the fact that guy was a staffer.
The clip is just too good for words. Becky Bailey on March 26, 2014

Colorado Governor to Sheriffs: Hey, Sorry About That New Gun Control Law    Katie Pavlich | Jun 16, 2014   

Back in March 2013 (and after a massive cash dump from former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg), Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper signed new anti-gun legislation into law.

Colorado's governor signed bills Wednesday that place new restrictions on firearms, signaling a change for Democrats who have traditionally shied away from gun control in a state with a pioneer tradition of gun ownership and self-reliance.

The legislation thrust Colorado into the national spotlight as a potential test of how far the country might be willing to go with new gun restrictions after the horror of mass killings at an Aurora movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper signed bills that require background checks for private and online gun sales and ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.

The debate in the Democratic-controlled Legislature was intense, and Republicans warned that voters would make Democrats pay. The bills failed to garner a single Republican vote.

In response to the legislation, a few months later Colorado State Senate President John Morse and State Senator Angela Giron were recalled in a historic defense of Second Amendment rights. Further, not only did Colorado sheriffs refuse to enforce the law, they sued over it.
Now, Hickenlooper is apologizing for signing the legislation without meeting with sheriffs beforehand and is admitting his office did not expect the backlash.

Governor John Hickenlooper is offering an apology to some of his fiercest rivals on the issue of gun control: Colorado’s sheriffs.

The governor’s mea culpa came Friday when he spoke before an assembled group of sheriffs from around Colorado.

A Hickenlooper spokesman confirms that the Governor apologized to the sheriffs for not meeting with them prior to the passage of gun control bills they opposed. Hickenlooper also said his administration didn’t do a good job anticipating pushback on gun control. According to his spokesman, Hickenlooper pledged better communication in the future. Funny how apologies like this always tend to happen right around election time.

Will ISIS plan a 9/11-style terror plot against the U.S.?     

• inShare22
Republicans are sounding the warning that the next 9/11-like terror plot could emerge from the regions of Iraq and Syria that are currently dominated by an extremist group bearing down on Baghdad.

As the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) - which has already captured the cities of Tikrit and Mosul and is threatening to take the capital city as well - grows in strength and numbers, will it pose an immediate threat to the United States homeland as well?
Experts say the group's increasing power and reach is concerning, though it's not entirely clear when they might be able to threaten the U.S.     VIDEO 

U.S. health care system ranks lowest in international survey

A new report from the Commonwealth Fund finds the U.K. and Switzerland have the best health care systems of industrialized nations; Americans and Canadians fare the worst

The U.S. spends more money on health care compared with other industrialized countries, but Americans still get the least bang for their buck -- and many still don't have access to care -- according to a report just published by the Commonwealth Fund. The report from the private health care research foundation examined data on expenditures, delivery and access to health care services among 11 industrialized countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S.     READ MORE

The Media’s Mental Illness On Guns

     Bob Owens on June 15, 2014          

I really intended to take Father’s Day off to be with my children (and I will do that, once I can pry my ever-sleeping teenager from her bed), but first I felt compelled to address an unsigned Denver Post editorial, Still waiting for Congress on guns.

Like so many members of the media, the editorial board of the Post betrays a a complete lack of understanding of the intent of the Bill of Rights, and of the Second Amendment in particular, as the following passages from their op-ed make abundantly clear.

In the wake of another school shooting, this time in Oregon, President Obama last week was asked what he was going to do to stop these kinds of incidents.
Obama said there was nothing to be done until there was a “fundamental shift in public opinion where people say, ‘enough. .. This isn’t the price we should be paying for our freedom.”
Sadly, the president is right.
The package of legislation that Obama proposed in 2013 after the horrific mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut would have banned assault-style weapons, mandated universal background checks and placed a 10-round limit on ammunition magazines.
They were modest but prudent reforms.

The purpose of the Second Amendment is now, and has always been, crystal clear.

Ruthless: ISIS Tweets Photo of Severed Head for World Cup  Leah Barkoukis | Jun 14, 2014  

The World Cup kicked off this week and to show their “support,” ISIS savagely tweeted a photo of a Sunni police chief’s severed head and joked about it being a soccer ball.

“This is our ball,” the Iraqi jihadists said in the tweet showing the picture. “It is made of skin #WorldCup #WorldCup2014.”
Via the New York Post (click if you want to see the blurred-out image):
     Increasingly violent rebel forces have been documenting their savagery with a steady stream of graphic photographs and videos as they rampage toward Baghdad. 

One clip shows them barging into the police chief’s home in the dead of night and blindfolding him before cutting off his head with a large knife                              

The rebels claim to have slain more than 1,700 Iraqi soldiers and cops as they push toward the capital in an attempt to topple the increasingly fragile Iraqi government.      

The graphic murders are intended to shatter morale among Iraqi officials, officials said 

Other videos show the rebels carrying out drive-by shootings of random pedestrians and uniformed personnel along bloodstained streets.        

Leaning out of cars, the rebels are shown running other cars off the road and riddling drivers with bullets. 
      
It’s no wonder ISIS has been described as a “group so extreme it got booted from al Qaeda.”

Darrell Issa Takes Aim at Eric Holder’s Extortion Racket
Michael Schaus | Jun 16, 2014

 

HOW CAN THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS KIND OF ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR ?? 

 

The nation’s top extortion artist, Eric Holder, is at it again (or still). This time, rather than running guns to Mexican drug cartels or investigating reporters who publish inconvenient facts about the administration’s scandals, Holder is taking aim at America’s small businesses. While Holder and Co have been busy collecting billion dollar fines from big banks, they’ve taken a more direct approach to snub out businesses that don’t necessarily conform with the Holder/Obama view of America.
Operation Choke Point, as it has been known, was a DOJ initiative that was intentionally designed to pressure banks and lenders into avoiding certain industry-specific businesses. Ostensibly, Operation Choke Point was designed to fight money laundering and fraud. The secretive initiative was launched with little fanfare in 2013. According to the Justice Department, it was aimed at “choking out” companies the Administration considered high-risk, despite the fact that they were legal businesses that had shown no signs of fraud.
In other words, the program was aimed at punishing businesses for merely existing. One of the primary victims of Operation Chokepoint has been gun manufacturers, and legal firearm dealers. (What a shock… I’m sure that’s completely coincidental.)

New Rules for Iraqis: Repent or Die, Say 5 Daily Prayers, Women Not Allowed Outside; Grim Massacres                  Mike Shedlock | Jun 15, 2014

Al Qaeda forces are within 50 miles of Baghdad. Some reports say 30 miles. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda forces announce rules for Iraqi territory they now control: Repent or Die.

The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham has set out a list of rules for residents of Mosul as it seeks to impose its Islamist rules on Iraq's second city.

Referring to the area by its ancient name, Nineveh, the group says it has a clear set of instructions for the remaining occupants of the city and surrounding area.

Firstly it tells "anyone who is asking," who its members are and what it is about: "We are soldiers of Islam and we've taken on our responsibility to bring back glory of the Islamic Caliphate."

1-All Muslims in the city have been instructed to attend mosque for the five daily prayers. Any one of its members who breach this promise will have their hands cut off.2-No drugs, no alcohol and no cigarettes
3-All shrines, graveyards and monuments will be destroyed
4-All women must dress in concealing clothing that preserve decency. Females should only go outside "if necessary".

Al Qaeda confirms that it seized up to half a billion dollars from the Mosul branch of the Bank of Iraq but states it can be trusted with the funds.
