Sen. Lisa Murkowski concedes Alaska's Republican primary to Joe Miller, AP reports.
‘Little-Known’ Tea Party Candidate Defeats GOP Incumbent in Alaska Primary...
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Sen. Lisa Murkowski was booted from office in the Republican primary Tuesday by a little-known conservative lawyer in arguably the biggest political upset of the year.
Joe Miller, backed by Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express, became the latest newcomer to the national political stage to take down an incumbent in 2010 amid deep dissatisfaction with the Washington establishment.
Murkowski trailed Miller, a Fairbanks attorney, by 1,668 votes after the Aug. 24 primary. Election officials began counting absentee and outstanding ballots Tuesday, and Murkowski made slight gains. But after more than 15,000 ballots were counted, she remained 1,630 votes behind.
“We all know that this has been a long week, a terribly long week,” she said at campaign headquarters while conceding. She said that while there were still outstanding votes, “I don’t see a scenario where the primary will turn out in my favor, and that is a reality that is before me at this point in time.” READ MORE...
More poor judgement, and a terrible Commander in Chief.
Coming August 31: ‘Direct Access’ Stimulus Grants for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Muslim Brotherhood to meet with top government officials to see how they can bypass normal procedures to get leftover stimulus money. Where's the mainstream media?!?
Think of it as ACORN reborn, with a slice of Jihad on the side.
On August 31, this coming Tuesday, the Muslim Brotherhood-associated “Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations” (CCMO) will bring 25-30 Muslim leaders of 20 national Muslim groups to attend a special workshop presented by the White House and U.S. Government agencies (Agriculture, Education, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services etc.) to provide the groups “funding, government assistance and resources.” The workshop will apparently provide special access for these Muslim Brotherhood organizations: the organizers pledge to provide “direct access” and “cut through red tape.” Government and Muslim groups will hold an Iftar dinner (breaking the fast of Ramadan) after the workshop.

Todd Starnes- An overwhelming number of New Yorkers say the developers of the proposed mosque near Ground Zero should move the project.
The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, finds 71 percent of New Yorkers wanted the mosque relocated. And the same number want the state’s attorney general to investigate funding behind the project.
The findings, published by the Associated Press, also reveal 53 percent of registered voters believe the Muslim developers do not have a Constitutional right to build the mosque at Ground Zero.
Click here for the raw polling data.
President Obama amplified the national debate over the issue when he declared during a Ramadan dinner that Muslims indeed had a right to build the mosque in lower Manhattan. The project is just two blocks from where terrorists slaughtered thousands in the name of Islam.
However, the president declined to comment on the wisdom of building the mosque at its proposed location.
The wealthiest members of Congress grew richer in 2009 even as the economy struggled to recover from a deep recession.
The 50 wealthiest lawmakers were worth almost $1.4 billion in 2009, about $85.1 million more than 12 months earlier, according to The Hill’s annual review of lawmakers’ financial disclosure forms.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) tops the list for the second year in a row. His minimum net worth was $188.6 million at the end of 2009, up by more than $20 million from 2008, according to his financial disclosure form.
While the economy struggled through a recession during much of 2009 and the nation’s unemployment rate soared to 10 percent, the stock market rebounded, helping lawmakers with large investments. The S&P 500 rose by about 28 percent in 2009.
Total assets for the 50 wealthiest lawmakers in 2009 was $1.5 billion — that’s actually a nearly $36 million drop from a year ago. But lawmakers reduced their liabilities by even more, cutting debts by $120 million last year. READ MORE...
NOTE- How in the world did Rep. Jane Harman's (D-Calif.) wealth leap to $152.3 million, a jump of more than $40 million from a year ago, during a recession? This evil woman (take your pick) is a big part of the reason California is BROKE and why America is in a recession.
It's worth noting that the man Anderson Cooper chose from the left to offer observations on the Tea Party movement, Matt Taibbi, recently wrote a column titled: "The Tea Party is Perverted and Irrelevant"
What is this obsession with 'race' by white liberals? They're always using blacks to promote their radical agenda by constantly making accusations of racism where none exists, towards groups who are a threat to them (Beck, Limbaugh, Tea Partiers). Haven't white liberals manipulated and used blacks enough already?
Matt Taibbi is a regular on 'Real Time With Bill Maher' and 'The Rachael Maddow Show.' Do we really need to continue?
Okay, we will. Matt once wrote a column 'The 52 Funniest Things About The Upcoming Death of The Pope.' Nice guy huh? He loves democrats, especially liberals like Barack Obama, yet he hates Goldman Sachs, the democrats big contributer. Duuhhhhh...
As for Dana Loesch, she's one bad ass woman. She is extremely intelligent, witty and has NEVER lost a debate. She has a knack of making her opposition (Matt Taibbi, Chris Matthews) look like total jackasses.
'How DUMB does Cusak feel now that his President is a total fraud and failure, a compulsive liar and a WARMONGER! Man up you sissy...'
Actor John Cusack went on a caustic Twitter rampage Sunday evening, attacking former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Fox News.
“I AM FOR A SATANIC DEATH CULT CENTER AT FOX NEWS HQ AND OUTSIDE THE OFFICES ORDICK ARMEYAND NEWT GINGRICH-and all the GOP WELFARE FREAKS,” Cusack tweeted.
Cusack has long been outspoken about politics. He supported Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election and has contributed to The Huffington Post, but this is the first known time he has stooped to the level of making threats.
And while the U.S. Constitution protects Cusack's right to speak his mind, some critics say he should be more careful about what he says, since he has more than 200,000 Twitter followers.
“His provocative tweets could easily incite a rabid fan to commit violent acts against Fox News Headquarters and others he names," said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a Beverly Hills-based psychiatrist and author of "Coping With Terrorism: Dreams Interrupted." READ MORE...
NOTE- Will this threat of violence be covered on ABC, NBC, CNN or CBS? If this was Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, you wouldn't hear the end of it. This is just another example of Hollywood liberals showing their ignorance.
This black panther Malik Zulu Shabazz (AKA Urkel) is a fequent visitor of the White House. Obama, Shabazz and Sharpton are friends, so when someone suspects that President Obama just might be a little racist towards whites, don't be so NAIVE.
In August 2000, Rev. Al Sharpton organized the "Redeem the Dream" march in Washington DC commemorating the 37th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. His rally included a lengthy address by New Black Panther leader Malik Zulu Shabazz filled with disturbing racism and calls to violence against whites.
"We have a black dream today of when we see caskets rolling in the black community, that we will see caskets rolling and funerals in the white community of our enemy as well today... we have a black dream."
NOTE- These crybabies are always claiming racism, yet support a President and party that oppresses blacks. These same crybabies cry racism where racism doesn't exist, yet put their own real racism on video for all to see.
It's no surprise that only 300 people showed up to Sharptons pathetic gathering. At least Beck had a Martin Luther King family member attend his rally. That must of made Sharpton super SWOLE!
There were more blacks at Becks restoring honor rally than there was a Sharptons 'Embarrassment to Black Folk' rally.
And what's with Al Sharpton thinking that he somehow owns and speaks for ALL black people. Many blacks despise Al Sharpton and are embarrassed by the fat clown. He thinks he owns Michael Jackson and now MLK?!?
Since when does Al Sharpton go to bat for a 'white acting' pedophile like Michael Jackson, or a conservative Martin Luther King, who thought we should judge people by the contact of their character and NOT the color of their skin?
Al Sharpton is a con artist and a disgrace, and people who side with him are MORONS.

Must-Watch: Gibbs Flip-Flops on Surge
On "Fox & Friends" this morning, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was interviewed by host Gretchen Carlson and claimed Barack Obama had said all along that the surge would improve the security situation on the ground:
GRETCHEN CARLSON, CO-HOST, "FOX & FRIENDS": Will President Obama recognize the success of the surge put in place by President Bush tonight?
ROBERT GIBBS, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: There's no doubt that first and foremost, that the men and women in our uniform and the sacrifices that I think we are all in awe of -- the president will log today at Fort Bliss when he stops there as well as in his speech -- I don't think there's any doubt, as candidate Obama said, adding 20,000 men and women into Iraq would improve the security situation. I think along with a series of other things…
CARLSON: Candidate Obama said that?
GIBBS: He did.
CARLSON: Excuse me, back in 2007, he said he was against the surge.
GIBBS: No, he said he was against the surge. He said there was no doubt that adding 20,000 men and women would improve the security situation, but as we know, our efforts in Iraq weren't going to be done simple militarily, Gretchen.
Robert Gibbs is misstating the facts here. On January 10, 2007, Obama predicted the surge would actually increase violence.
We've never had an administration so hypocritical and dishonest in our history! On top of that, we have the most disgusting, anti-American and as pathetic media in history.
At least FOX news is doing their job. Biased they say? This is NEWS, not bias. When a President appoints a tax cheat to his administration, a Marxist and communist to a czar, or flip-flops and lies on a daily basis with video evidence, only a libtard would think that it's NOT newsworthy. they choose to ignore it or call it racism.
THE world’s leading climate change body has been accused of losing credibility after a damning report into its research practices.
A high-level inquiry into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found there was “little evidence” for its claims about global warming.
It also said the panel had emphasised the negative impacts of climate change and made “substantive findings” based on little proof.
DEBATE: IS CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING JUST A CON?...HAVE YOUR SAY HERE..
The review by the InterAcademy Council (IAC) was launched after the IPCC’s hugely embarrassing 2007 benchmark climate change report, which contained exaggerated and false claims that Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035.
The panel was forced to admit its key claim in support of global warming was lifted from a 1999 magazine article. The report was based on an interview with a little-known Indian scientist who has since said his views were “speculation” and not backed by research.
Independent climate scientist Peter Taylor said last night: “The IPCC’s credibility has been deeply dented and something has to be done. It can’t just be a matter of adjusting the practices. They have got to look at what are the consequences of having got it wrong in terms of what the public think is going on. Admitting that it needs to reform means something has gone wrong and they really do need to look at the science.”
Climate change sceptic David Holland, who challenged leading climate change scientists at the University of East Anglia to disclose their research, said: “The panel is definitely not fit for purpose. What the IAC has said is substantial changes need to be made.” READ MORE...
For some, this will just prove how prescient Congress has been to create a vast network of social programs that combat poverty. Others may wonder what the endgame looks like when one in six Americans now receive public subsidies through Medicaid, unemployment, or other welfare programs. That ratio is a new record, according to USA Today:
Government anti-poverty programs that have grown to meet the needs of recession victims now serve a record one in six Americans and are continuing to expand. More than 50 million Americans are on Medicaid, the federal-state program aimed principally at the poor, a survey of state data by USA TODAY shows. That’s up at least 17% since the recession began in December 2007.
Think the Medicaid growth comes from the passage of ObamaCare in March? Think again. The expansion comes from the Great Recession and the loss of millions of jobs. The ObamaCare expansion will come on top of the additions to the enrollments over the last two years, and that has major implications for health care providers and customers alike:
The program has grown even before the new health care law adds about 16 million people, beginning in 2014. That has strained doctors. “Private physicians are already indicating that they’re at their limit,” says Dan Hawkins of the National Association of Community Health Centers. READ MORE...
If you want to see a large pack of idiots, just look at the crowd. This moron Al Sharpton IS the Obama administration. Sharpton and Obama are con artist community organizers and 'social justice' seekers. The democrats embrace these lying oppressors to scrape up the black vote for the white liberals who own and control the democratic party.
President Obama's top education official urged government employees to attend a rally that the Rev. Al Sharpton organized to counter a larger conservative event on the Mall.
"ED staff are invited to join Secretary Arne Duncan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and other leaders on Saturday, Aug. 28, for the 'Reclaim the Dream' rally and march," began an internal e-mail sent to more than 4,000 employees of the Department of Education on Wednesday.
Sharpton created the event after Glenn Beck announced a massive Tea Party "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where King spoke in 1963.
The Washington Examiner learned of the e-mail from a Department of Education employee who felt uncomfortable with Duncan's request. Although the e-mail does not violate the Hatch Act, which forbids federal employees from participating in political campaigns, Education Department workers should feel uneasy, said David Boaz, executive vice president of the libertarian Cato Institute.
"It sends a signal that activity on behalf of one side of a political debate is expected within a department. It's highly inappropriate ... even in the absence of a direct threat," Boaz said. "If we think of a Bush cabinet official sending an e-mail to civil servants asking them to attend a Glenn Beck rally, there would be a lot of outrage over that."
Russ Whitehurst, director of the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution's Brown Center of Education Policy, said nothing like this happened when he was a Department of Education program director from 2001 to 2008: "Only political appointees would have been made aware of such an event and encouraged to attend."

Howard Dean: Beck is ‘Racist Hate-Monger’; Followers are ‘Lost Souls’

Media Matters Honcho Points Out Lack of Racism at Beck Rally; Attacks Tea Party as Racist Anyway...
ERIC BURNS, MEDIA MATTERS FOR AMERICA: "I think the rally on TV that we saw this Saturday may have been the only instance where there wasn’t something racist going on with the Tea Party and Glenn Beck at least from what I’ve seen. You know obviously we’ve seen there was the last year and a half rallies with you know with really horrific racist hate filled violent inducing signs." (Idiots)
CRAZY ED- THE COMPULSIVE LIAR...
MSNBC Host Attacks Beck and Crowd at Rally as Old, White, Racist...
MSNBC's Ed Schultz said the crowd at Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally was "Old white angry McCain Palin leftovers who just can't seem to stomach the fact that we have a black man in the White House." What Ed doesn't tell you is that if not for a majority of whites voting for Obama, he wouldn't be President. He doesn't mention that Obama is the worst President in U.S history. He doesn't mention that this 'restoring honor' rally is not about Obama! Ed Schultz is just PISSED that MOST Americans are NOT on his side and realize that progressives are really scumbags. His ratings prove that...
Ed Schultz lies about the crowd being a bunch of angry McCain supporters. Most Tea Party and Beck supporters do not support McCain the establishment RINO.
Also, Beck and Palin didn't 'line their pockets' at this rally. They raised millions for charity! How come Ed doesn't mention this? Also, it wasn't all 'old white people,' the crowd was very diverse.
Ed Shultz qualifies as a media terrorist. He might even be more dishonest than Alan Grayson and Keith Olbermann!
Tens of thousands of convicted felons, including murderers and sex offenders, regularly are breaching the United States national boundary along just one section of the shared line with Mexico, according to a revealing new documentary called "Southern Exposure: Battle for the Border."
Eyefull Video Productions, located in the migration hotbed of Tucson, Ariz., has produced a made-for-TV special about the U.S./Mexico border crisis. It suggests that the invading hordes also may have an agenda of damage to the U.S. far beyond ordinary crime such as robbery, looting and even homicide.
In anticipation of its Sept. 15 release date, when it is scheduled to be available on DVD on Amazon, producer Stan Wald and director Jerry Misner talked about their documentary with WND.
"We used to be in broadcasting, and we were getting towards retirement age and saying, 'What do we really want to do?' That's one of the joys of actually retiring," said Misner, a former U.S. Marine and Vietnam vet. "We started about four years ago doing television commercials and corporate-imaging video, and we started thinking we'd really like to do something meaningful and give something back to the country because it's been good to us overall," he explained.
"We discovered there were elements of the mass migration that were not being covered in major news across the country, but only in local communities adjacent to the border," said Wald. "So we decided to start digging into things and getting some answers that the media wasn’t providing."
Wald said that in fiscal year 2008-2009, there were 378,000 apprehensions by the Border Patrol in the Tucson sector alone, which is only 262 linear miles. READ MORE...
It appears that Al Sharpton's "Reclaiming the Dream" rally focussed more on Sarah Palin and Glenn beck than it dead on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Who would of thought that Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck have more in common with Martin Luther King than Ben 'I'm' Jealous and Al 'Not so sharp' Sharpton?
Are Beck and Palin blacker than Al Sharpton and Ben Jealous? It sure seems that way.
Reason.tv was on hand to take in the day and talk with some of the thousands of people who showed up. Most of the people they talked to were openly skeptical of politicians of both major parties and agreed strongly with the religious bent of the rally, often arguing that some sort of religious orientation was necessary for what that saw as a return to national greatness. See Video below..
Hundreds of thousands of Americans – of many creeds and colors – made what ended up being a pilgrimage of sorts to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., for Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally.
Catholics, other Christians and Jews spoke to WND on site, many celebrating the themes of faith and reliance on God proclaimed from the platform.
As WND reported, Beck proclaimed the purpose of the rally, saying, "It has nothing to do with politics; it has everything to do with God."
Beck, the Fox News TV host and a professed Mormon, urged his fellow Americans to live according to the Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity. He asked everyone to enter into 40 days of deep prayer, an obvious plea to imitate Jesus Christ's 40 days of prayer and fasting in the wilderness.
Beck also preached the Christian philosophy that the common good starts with individuals, and therefore, he said, Americans need to begin by examining their souls.
The crowd itself included veterans, parents, disabled Americans, people of all ages and – contrary to some criticism leveled against the rally – attendees of many races and ethnicities.
Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union based in Washington, D.C., for example, stood on the platform with Alveda King as she recalled her uncle Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic "I Have a Dream" speech.
Before the multitudes assembled Alveda King proclaimed, "If Uncle Martin could be here today … he would surely remind us that as brothers and sisters, united by one blood in one single race, the human race, we are called to honor God and to love each other." READ MORE...
Something tells us that if Sean Hannity made this innocent slip it would have far-reaching implications about the "disturbing racial rhetoric" from the right. In this case, Rick Sanchez will get the appropriate pass.

Longtime Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide's two children since 2005, using foundation funds set aside for black lawmakers' causes.
The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the money. And all of the awards violated a foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member's district.
Johnson, a Democrat, denied any favoritism when asked about the scholarships last week. Two days later, she acknowledged in a statement released by her office that she had violated the rules but said she had done so "unknowingly" and would work with the foundation to "rectify the financial situation."
Initially, she said, "I recognized the names when I saw them. And I knew that they had a need just like any other kid that would apply for one." Had there been more "very worthy applicants in my district," she added, "then I probably wouldn't have given it" to the relatives. READ MORE...
Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.
By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863. The average Republican contribution was $744.
Disclosure of the heavily Democratic contributions by influential employees of the three major broadcast networks follows on the heels of controversy last week when it was learned that media baron Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. contributed $1 million to the Republican Governors Association.
The News Corp. donation prompted Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association and son of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, to demand in a letter to Fox News chairman Roger Ailes that the cable news outlet include a disclaimer in its coverage of gubernatorial campaigns. Fox News is owned by News Corp., which also owns The Wall Street Journal.
The data on contributions by broadcast network employees was compiled by CRP at the request of The Examiner and included all 2008 contributions by individuals who identified their employer as one of the three networks or subsidiaries. The data does not include contributions by employees of the three networks who did not identify their employer READ MORE...
Grab your barf bag. The sissy Brian Williams interviews the con artist in Chief..
President Barack Obama rejected criticism of his response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill Sunday, saying in an interview airing on “NBC Nightly News” that his administration jumped on the crisis immediately and was determined to hold BP accountable.
Obama was interviewed Sunday afternoon by “Nightly News” anchor and managing editor Brian Williams while on a trip to New Orleans to help commemorate Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall five years ago.
Obama’s predecessor, President George W. Bush, was widely criticized for his administration’s response to Katrina, which killed more than 1,800 people and laid waste to this city and much of the surrounding Gulf Coast.
Obama says he ignored Beck rally (Why bother with millions of 'those' American people, right?)
Obama briefly touched on several issues in a wide-ranging 20-minute interview, which took place under umbrellas in the New Orleans rain. He said he remained confident in his administration’s policies in Iraq and Afghanistan — the topic of his scheduled nationally televised address Tuesday night — and he urged Americans to have patience with the economic recovery.

Only an idiot would hate a guy for simply speaking the truth. Only an idiot would call that person 'extreme' or 'polarizing' when 'brave' and 'honest' are more deserving titles for people like Glenn Beck.
Forty-seven years after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream Speech,” Fox News host Glenn Beck stood Saturday close to the spot at the Lincoln Memorial where the civil rights leader called for racial equality, urging the nation to return to "faith, hope and charity."
The much-ballyhooed and quite controversial “Restoring Honor” rally has brought conservatives to Washington from parts of the country. Many are making a long weekend of it, packing hotels and filling area campgrounds. Across the country, local tea party groups teamed up to charter buses to bring large crowds.
Beck, a fiery conservative populist, had urged his followers to leave political signs at home. He said that he wanted to celebrate America’s military personnel and accounted that the rally raised $5.5 million, which would go to the veterans' charity Special Operations Warrior Foundation after defraying event costs.
The crowd remained civil and listened attentively through 200 minutes of speeches, prayers, songs and the awarding of medals. READ MORE...
The State Department is maintaining a "counter-misinformation" page on an America.gov blog that attempts to "debunk a conspiracy theory" that President Obama was not born in the United States, as if the topic were equivalent to believing space aliens visit Earth in flying saucers.
However, in the attempt to debunk the Obama birth-certificate controversy, the State Department author confirmed Obama was a dual citizen of the U.K. and the U.S. from 1961 to 1963 and a dual citizen of Kenya and the U.S. from 1963 to 1982, because his father was a Kenyan citizen when Obama was born in 1961.
In a number of court cases challenging Obama's eligibility, dual citizenship has been raised as a factor that could compromise his "natural born" status under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution. The cases argue dual citizenship would make Obama ineligible even if documentary evidence were shown the public, such as the hospital-issued long-form birth certificate that indicates the place of his birth and the name of the attending physician.
The entry "The Obama Birth Controversy" was written by Todd Leventhal, identified as the chief of the Counter-Misinformation Team for the U.S. Department of State. The office appears to have been established "to provide information about false and misleading stories in the Middle East," as described in a biography of Leventhal published on the U.S. Public Diplomacy website.

These black panthers tried to scare white people outside of a polling station in Philadelphia. They were supporting a half white liberal candidate for President. How 'white' of them...
By Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com Thursday, August 26, 2010
With polls showing about 70% of Americans believe building an Islamic cultural center containing a mosque just two blocks away from Ground Zero is inappropriate, the far left is once again on the run. Failing with the bogus "freedom of religion" argument, the crew that is offended by the manger scene at Christmas is now saying the mosque controversy is another attempt to "scare white people." Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson has put forth that loopy argument on his second home, MSNBC.
You may remember that the radical left designated the Shirley Sherrod story, the ACORN scandal, the New Black Panther/voting booth/Justice Department situation, and the resignation of White House "green jobs" czar Van Jones as previous attempts to scare white Americans. I don't know about you, but I'm white, and those stories did not frighten me. I hope I'm not out of the "white loop."
But here's a key question. Why are Howard Dean and Senator Harry Reid trying to scare white people? Those committed liberals both believe the mosque should be built somewhere else. Why are these guys trying to frighten Caucasians, and what can we do to stop them? It is simply unfair to have the Senate majority leader and the former Governor of Vermont running around trying to instill fear into white guys and gals. This must stop.
What is somewhat scary is that the far-left media continues to peddle this stuff, even in the face of economic disaster. CNN and MSNBC are in deep ratings trouble. Newsweek magazine recently sold for one dollar, and Time is having a tough go of it as well. Air America is bankrupt. The New York Times and the Washington Post are not nearly as successful or influential as they used to be. Not all of those concerns are far-left, but they do have an ideological kinship with the loons; it's just a matter of degree.
Meantime, the anti-liberal Fox News Channel and the Wall Street Journal, whose editorial page is conservative, are both doing very well.
It is because of situations like the Ground Zero mosque that the far left has lost credibility as well as viability. Americans are not stupid, no matter what color they may be. They understand that New York City has more than one hundred mosques and one more located near the site where thousands of innocent people where murdered by fanatical Muslims is certainly not necessary., especially because the building would offend thousands of people who lost loved ones on 9/11. Why would anyone want to offend them? Paging President Obama.
In the end, I believe the Muslim center will not be built. Some kind of compromise will most likely be reached. If not, I can't imagine any New York City construction firm lifting a hammer to build this project. So I predict it will not happen.
I know that may be scary to far-left people, and I apologize if my prognostication upsets you in any way. I never want to frighten anybody. I'll leave that to Congress.
Under sunny skies this afternoon, it was back to the golf course for President Barack Obama - this time a round at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs.
Today's game is the first on his 10-day Martha's Vineyard vacation at the semi-private Farm Neck course. Obama golfed twice at the Vineyard Golf Club and late yesterday at the nine-hole Mink Meadows Golf Club in Vineyard Haven.
Wearing tan slacks and navy shirt, Obama is golfing with friend Eric Whitaker, White House trip director Marvin Nicholson and friend Cyrus Walker, according to a White House press pool report. The president's motocade got to the club at about 1:10 p.m.
Obama also played Farm Neck during the family's 2009 Martha's Vineyard vacation.
As the press pool stood about 175 yards from the 1st green, Nicholson sank a put and got a fist-bump from Obama. "That was the only real action," the press report said
A Saudi couple tortured their Sri Lankan maid after she complained of a too heavy workload by hammering 24 nails into her hands, legs and forehead, officials said on Thursday.
Nearly 2 million Sri Lankans sought employment overseas last year and around 1.4 million, mostly maids, were employed in the Middle East. Many have complained of physical abuse or harassment.
L.T. Ariyawathi, a 49-year old mother of three, returned on Friday after five months in Saudi Arabia.
Her family only realized what had happened to her when she complained of pain and they took her to see the doctor, Foreign Employment Bureau officials said.
"The landlord and the wife of the landlord hammered 24 nails into her when she complained of the heavy workload," Kalyana Priya Ramanayake, media secretary of the Foreign Employment Bureau, told Reuters.
Ariyawathi has been taken to hospital for surgery to remove the nails, which according to the maid were hammered in when they were hot.
X-rays showed one- to two-inch nails in her hands and legs, with one over her eyes, officials said.
The Foreign Employment Bureau is consulting the Attorney-General while the Sri Lankan External Affairs Ministry is to take the matter up with the Saudi government, officials said.
Via the Jawa Report, what’s the freaky deakiest part of this? The singing, the dancing, or the fact that this guy lied to the judges at the time about being a newcomer to Canada? Evidently he’s a doctor who was born and raised in the country. Three possibilities: (1) He was auditioning as a goof and figured his new persona would make it extra goofy, (2) he gambled that a “humble immigrant” trying his darnedest would have a better shot at advancing to the next round than a tone-deaf physician, or (3) he was already a jihadi sympathizer at the time and operating under deep, deep — deep — cover. To paraphrase Mediaite, the last place you’d look for an Al Qaeda plot is a guy on a talent show “doing the robot while singing a song written for teen girls.” And a moonwalk. Don’t forget the moonwalk. Three men are charged in a plot to build IEDs and funnel money to terror groups in Afghanistan. Assuming that the charges are true, this clip is stark evidence of how quickly radicalization can happen. READ MORE...

We have often wondered ourselves if when the room clears out, does Obama get on his knees and pray? We're not counting it out yet. Obama says he's a Christian, but Obama rarely tells the truth.
Attending a black liberation theology church for 20 years, appeaser of the Muslim world, apologist and anti-American, knowledge of the Koran, nominating SCOTUS activist judges who believe in Sharia law, supporting a mosque at ground zero, not having attended church regularly in D.C, cancelling the National Day of Prayer and implementing a Muslim Day of Observation, is it really so bad to suspect that Barack Hussein Obama just might be a Muslim?
They thought Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson was crazy, but as it turns out, he was right all along. Did Obama mention in his UN report that discrimination against white also exists?
MARXISM, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY = RESENTMENT TOWARDS WHITES.
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has told the United Nations that America's human rights record is less than perfect while stressing that the U.S. political system has built-in safeguards that promote improvements.
In its first-ever report to the U.N. Human Rights Council on conditions in the United States, the State Department said some minorities are still victims of discrimination. Despite progress in reforming past unfair policies and practices, the report said "work remains to meet our goal of ensuring equality before the law for all."
Council members are required to review their rights records.
The U.S. had shunned the council until last year over its criticism of Israel and a membership that includes repressive regimes.
THE WARNINGS WERE THERE ABOUT OBAMA, BUT THE IDIOTS DIDN'T LISTEN...
Black liberation theology" scholars such as James Cone, who regard Jesus Christ as a "black messiah" and blacks as "the chosen people" will only accept a god who assists their aim of destroying the "white enemy."
"If God is not for us and against white people," writes Cone, "then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill gods who do not belong to the black community."

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- An advocacy group is calling for the ouster of former Sen. Alan Simpson, the co-chairman of President Obama's bipartisan debt commission, who described Social Security as a "milk cow with 310 million tits!" in an email.
Ashley Carson, executive director of the Older Women's League, wrote in a blog post in April that Simpson is targeting Social Security to fix the deficit even though it "doesn't contribute" to the country's debt problem. She also accused Simpson of "disgusting ageism and sexism" in characterizing those who oppose cuts to benefits as "Gray Panthers" and "Pink Panthers."
In his email to Carson, which was sent Monday night, Simpson said he is defending Social Security, not trying to undermine it, and referred her to information showing the program's long-range shortfalls.
He went on: "I've made some plenty smart cracks about people on Social Security who milk it to the last degree. You know 'em too. It's the same with any system in America. We've reached a point now where it's like a milk cow with 310 million tits! Call when you get honest work!" READ MORE...
Mort Zuckerman, who once endorsed Barack Obama for the presidency and allegedly helped write one of his speeches, uses his perch at US News today to blast the White House as “the most fiscally irresponsible government in US history.” Zuckerman includes Congress in this indictment as well, blaming Democrats for driving the US towards an unprecedented debt crisis, and Republicans for only coming to fiscal responsibility out of midterm politics:
It’s worth remembering that the good years of the Clinton administration came only after Republicans took control of Congress, and only after Clinton’s attempt to restructure the health-care sector angered the population. Sound familiar? In 1994, Republicans won on a limited-government, fiscal-responsibility platform and made it work with a Democratic President. In most of the other terms, Republican Presidents had to deal with Democratic Congresses, when the Democratic Party was much less about the 1960s New Left than it is today. Unfortunately, many of those Republicans got co-opted by the Beltway mentality and lost all sense of responsibility and accountability in the 2001-6 period, for which voters rightly rebuked them.

The apparent anti-Muslim assault on a New York city cabbie by a man shouting “Assalamu Alaikum. Consider this a checkpoint" produced an immediate round of recriminations over its connection to opposition to a New York Islamic Center and an apparent rising tide of Islamophobia.
But as often at the intersection of politics and violent crime, the story doesn't appear to fit any easy stereotype: The alleged assailant, Michael Enright, is — according to his Facebook profile and the website of the left-leaning media organization Intersections International — a student at the School of Visual Arts and a volunteer for Intersections, which recently produced a statement of support for the Park51 project and is funded by the mainstream, liberal Collegiate Church of New York.
Intersections did not respond to two messages, and the group does not appear to be picking up the phone. Enright did not respond to a message through his Facebook account.
But this appears to be the same man: Police described Enright as a resident of Brewster, 21 years old, and an employee of an "Internet media company who had recently spent time with a combat unit in Afghanistan filming military exercises until this past May."
His Facebook picture, above, appears to show him in Afghanistan. The page describes him as a cinematographer and photographer for Intersections. READ MORE...
Police are investigating whether a series of assaults at the Iowa State Fair were racially motivated since the attackers reportedly announced it was “Beat Whitey Night” during one attack.
According to a Des Moines Police Department report, a group of young black assailants pummeled a white fairgoer Friday night, an assault that cops believe may have racial overtones due to what was said by the attackers.
A report by Sgt. David Murillo noted that, “officers at the fairgrounds advise there was a group of 30-40 individuals roaming the fairgrounds openly calling it ‘Beat Whitey Night.’” The victim, 36-year-old Jammie Carroll, suffered “severe injuries to his eyes, cheekbones, and nose,” and was hospitalized at Mercy Medical Center with multiple facial contusions.
Cops are examining other reported incidents at the fairgrounds since groups of black juveniles appeared to be singling out white victims. During one of these confrontations Sunday evening, two police officers were injured trying to break up a brawl (which resulted in five arrests).
A second police report notes that the Sunday incident again involved “a large fight with black male and female juveniles assaulting white citizens." READ MORE...
This happens often, but there IS a double standard. Don't expect any hate crime charges to be filed when the victim is white, which is why hate crime laws are a total joke.
We DO expect Eric Holder to go to Iowa to have this case squashed.
Rodney King has a message...
Can't we all get along and vote out ALL of the black and white liberal politicians who are ruining America? That would be so nice...
Culling the immigration court system dockets of “non-criminals” started in earnest in Houston about a month ago and has stunned immigration attorneys.
The Department of Homeland Security is systematically reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases and moving to dismiss those filed against suspected illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal records, according to several sources familiar with the efforts.
Culling the immigration court system dockets of “non-criminals” started in earnest in Houston about a month ago and has stunned local immigration attorneys, who have reported coming to court anticipating clients' deportations only to learn that the government was dismissing their cases.
Richard Rocha, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman, said Tuesday that the review is part of the agency's broader, nationwide strategy to prioritize the deportations of illegal immigrants who pose a threat to national security and public safety. Rocha declined to provide further details.
Critics assailed the plan as another sign that the Obama administration is trying to create a kind of backdoor "amnesty" program.
Raed Gonzalez, an immigration attorney who was briefed on the effort by Homeland Security's deputy chief counsel in Houston, said DHS confirmed that it's reviewing cases nationwide, though not yet to the pace of the local office. He said the others are expected to follow suit soon.
Gonzalez, the liaison between the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which administers the immigration court system, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said DHS now has five attorneys assigned full time to reviewing all active cases in Houston's immigration court.
Gonzalez said DHS attorneys are conducting the reviews on a case-by-case basis. However, he said they are following general guidelines that allow for the dismissal of cases for defendants who have been in the country for two or more years and have no felony convictions.
In some instances, defendants can have one misdemeanor conviction, but it cannot involve a DWI, family violence or sexual crime, Gonzalez said.
Massive backlog of cases....
Opponents of illegal immigration were critical of the dismissals.
"They've made clear that they have no interest in enforcing immigration laws against people who are not convicted criminals," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for strict controls.
"This situation is just another side effect of President Obama's failure to deliver on his campaign promise to make immigration reform a priority in his first year," said U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. "Until he does, state and local authorities are left with no choice but to pick up the slack for prosecuting and detaining criminal aliens."
Gonzalez called the dismissals a necessary step in unclogging a massive backlog in the immigration court system. In June, there were more than 248,000 cases pending in immigration courts across the country, including about 23,000 in Texas, according to data compiled by researchers at Syracuse University.
'Absolutely fantastic'
Gonzalez said he went into immigration court downtown on Monday and was given a court date in October 2011 for one client. But, he said, the government's attorney requested the dismissal of that case and those of two more of his clients, and the cases were dispatched by the judge.
The court "was terminating all of the cases that came up," Gonzalez said. "It was absolutely fantastic."
"We're all calling each other saying, 'Can you believe this?' " said John Nechman, another Houston immigration attorney, who had two cases dismissed. Attorney Elizabeth Mendoza Macias, who has practiced in Houston for 17 years, said she had cases for several clients dismissed during the past month and eventually called DHS to find out what was going on. She said she was told by a DHS trial attorney that 2,500 cases were under review in Houston.
"I had five (dismissed) in one week, and two more that I just received," Mendoza said. "And I am expecting many more, many more, in the next month."
Her clients, all previously charged with being in the country illegally, included: An El Salvadoran man married to a U.S. citizen who has two U.S.-born children. The client had a pending asylum case in the court system, but the case was not particularly strong. Now that his case is terminated, he will be eligible to obtain permanent residency through his wife, Mendoza said.
A woman from Cameroon, who was in removal proceedings after being caught by the U.S. Border Patrol, had her case terminated by the government. She meets the criteria of a trafficking victim, Mendoza said, and can now apply for a visa.
Memo outlines priorities....
Immigrants who have had their cases terminated are frequently left in limbo, immigration attorneys said, and are not granted any form of legal status.
"It's very, very key to understand that these aliens are not being granted anything in court. They are still here illegally. They don't have work permits. They don't have Social Security numbers," Mendoza said. "ICE is just saying, 'At this particular moment, we are not going to proceed with trying to remove you from the United States.' "
In a June 30 memo, ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton outlined the agency's priorities, saying it had the capacity to remove about 400,000 illegal immigrants annually — about 4 percent of the estimated illegal immigrant population in the country. The memo outlines priorities for the detention and removal system, putting criminals and threats to national security at the top of the list.
Up to 17,000 cases....
On Tuesday, ICE officials provided a copy of a new policy memo from Morton dated Aug. 20 that instructs government attorneys to review the court cases of people with pending applications to adjust status based on their relation to a U.S. citizen. Morton estimates in the memo that the effort could affect up to 17,000 cases. Tre Rebsock, the ICE union representative in Houston, said even if the efforts involve only a fraction of the pending immigration cases, "that's going to make our officers feel even more powerless to enforce the laws."
Former New York Governor George Pataki on Wednesday got into a heated discussion with Chris Matthews over the Ground Zero mosque and the Republican opposition to it.
In the middle of his second "Hardball" segment on MSNBC, Matthews played a clip of Rush Limbaugh saying on the radio earlier in the day, "If this is a nation that is Islamophobic, how do we elect a man whose name is Barack Hussein Obama?"
This led Matthews to ask his guest, "What do you think of guys that keep putting out lies like that?"
Over the course of the next five minutes, Pataki basically took over the show not only putting Matthews in his place, but also doing the same to his other guest, Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post. READ MORE...
NOTE- Chris Matthews lies AGAIN about Rush Limbaugh assuming that Obama is a Muslim. Rush was making the point that if Americans were 'Islamaphobic,' they wouldn't of voted for a man with the MUSLIM NAME Barack Hussein Obama.
Chris Matthews needs to put his jealousy and hate aside and educate himself.
As for Eugine Robinson, he's a lost cause...and a permanent 'idiot' resident of MSNBC.
When Fox News and talk radio host Glenn Beck comes to Washington this weekend to headline a rally intended to "restore honor" to America, he will test the strength - and potentially expose the weaknesses - of a conservative grass-roots movement that remains an unpredictable force in the country's politics.
Beck, who is both admired and assailed for his faith-based patriotism and his brash criticism of President Obama, plans in part to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. as an American hero. He will speak on the anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" speech, from the spot where King delivered it.
Some "tea party" activists say the event, at which former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is also scheduled to speak, will have a greater impact than last September's "9/12" march along Pennsylvania Avenue. Though the attendance figures for that anti-tax rally are disputed, it was the first national gathering to demonstrate the size and influence of the tea party movement READ MORE...
We're pretty sure that DEMOCRAT Bobby Bright isn't the only one joking about Pelosi's death. She's the most despised woman in America next to Susan Smith.
U.S. Congressman Bobby Bright was heard having a little fun at U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's expense during his recent participation in the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce's Eggs and Issues.
Bright, who is is in his first year in Congress and facing a battle against Montgomery City Councilwoman Martha Roby this fall, joked that Pelosi might lose her own election, decide not to run for the speaker’s job or otherwise not be available.
He suggested, jokingly he insisted to his audience, that Pelosi could fall ill and die in coming months. That remark drew laughter from the crowd.
Though he has a reputation as the second most independent member of Congress, he has been routinely blasted for voting for Pelosi to be speaker.
WHAT IF HE WAS A REPUBLICAN?
The pathetic mainstream media would be ALL OVER this if Bobby Bright was a republican and you would never hear the end of it.
