Is the bloom off the ruse?   Still too early to tell, and the mellennials have repeatedly shown a remarkable propensity to be duped and manipulated (see: Sandra Fluke et al) so until we see consistency from Jon Stewart’s watchers, meh.
WASHINGTON DC – The Obama thrill is gone among America’s millennials, those aged 18-29, just a year after they helped the president win a second term.

A new and shocking poll from Harvard University’s Institute of Politics released Wednesday found that younger Americans are so disgusted with President Obama, Congress, and the troubled Obamacare system, that 47 percent support recalling the president and just 29 percent are planning to sign up for health insurance.
“A critical factor in the election and reelection of Barack Obama, America’s 18- to 29- year-olds now rate the president’s job performance closer to that of Congress – and at the lowest level since he took office in 2009,” said Harvard Institute of Politics Director Trey Grayson.
How bad? Obama’s approval rating among millennials is just 41 percent. Even young blacks are tiring of the president, with his approval rating among African Americans dropping from 84 percent seven months ago to 75 percent today.  (read more)

DETROIT — The city of Detroit officially became the largest municipality in U.S. history Tuesday to enter Chapter 9 bankruptcy after a judge declared it met the specific legal criteria required to receive protection from its creditors.

The landmark ruling ends more than four months of uncertainty over the fate of the case and sets the stage for a fierce clash over how to slash an estimated $18 billion in debt and long-term liabilities that have hampered Detroit from attacking pervasive blight and violent crime. (more…)

Before getting to the substance of the example highlighted in the headline.   Please allow me to give you a “set up” for context.
The political coalition, behind the party, that supports Senator Elizabeth Warren has very specific intents and purposes behind what they do.
•One relative example might be putting a CNN documentary together to harvest emotions about Killer Whales in captivity.   •Another actual real life example is a social media campaign which says to young girls if you don’t take a picture of yourself kissing a black boy, then post it to your social media, then you are a racist.    •A third real example is the GBF (Gay Best Friend) strategy to streamline the acceptances of homosexuality, Gay becomes ‘cool’.   The regender campaign is also embedded in the bullying campaign and Boys in the Girl Scouts gender transferring.
The term to explain what’s being strategically done, spawned from the Warren-minded twenty-something individuals, is “Moral Relativism”. (more…)

The hypocrisy of the Democrat party really is boundless as this recent example personifies:
New Hampshire Democrats were quick to attack Republican State Representative Marilinda Garcia once she made her intention to seek the her party’s nomination for the second congressional district seat official. Garcia announced her candidacy via a press release on Monday morning; she joins former Republican State Senator Gary Lambert in the race to take on Democratic Congresswoman Anne Kuster.
Within moments of her announcement, prominent Democratic State Rep. Peter Sullivan attacked Garcia on Twitter using sexist language and imagery. Sullivan compared the three-term State Representative, who holds a Master’s degree from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, to reality television celebrity Kim Kardashian. He went on to refer to her as “[Republican State Rep.] Al Baldasarro [sic] in stiletto heels” and “a lightweight.”
Throughout the 2012 and 2013 election cycles, national Democrats launched repeated attacks accusing Republicans of using rhetoric they claimed was demeaning to women.
Sullivan’s tweets are below: (more…)

This specific case has some earmarks of an intentional judicial probe; however, because it did not stem from New York State, I doubt it.    The gay Marriage case which will eventually end up at the Supreme Court will, more than likely, stem from a divorce in New York, not California or other.
All gay marriage states have a clause extending the legal binding construct of recognition only within the state of origination.    However, New York constructed their specific state legalization of gay marriage with a binding reciprocity clause essentially demanding all other 49 state courts to recognize their marriages.   
The federal challenge, which gay marriage advocates are thirsting for, will come from one of these “reciprocity” cases where the federal government will have to step in and define legality across state lines – ergo basically define federal marriage.
I do find it puzzling however, that you can drive to California and get married without being a resident, but if you want a divorce you MUST be a resident.   Odd, no?
HERNANDO, Miss. (AP) — Lauren Beth Czekala-Chatham wants to force Mississippi, one of the America’s most conservative states, to recognize her same-sex marriage. She hopes to do so by getting a divorce.
She and Dana Ann Melancon traveled from Mississippi to San Francisco to get married in 2008.
The wedding was all Czekala-Chatham hoped it would be, the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, dreams for a promising future. She wrote the vows herself. (more…)

In a subtle speech outlining Israel’s position on the EU/Obama acquiescence to Iran Netanyahu vows to keep the light.

It’s not coincidental Netanyahu chose this specific passage from a Jewish children’s song given the former U.S. position (Reagan Doctrine) of light retention amid the dark forces of global evil.    In essence Israel is saying they will not fall victim to the political correctness inherent in failing to talk about true motives and objectives of Iran, while simultaneously saying someone must stand up to say there are natural laws of right and wrong.
It is the elimination of true principles behind what is good, right and just, while obfuscating and falling victim to political correctness which allows evil to thrive.    As we have often said – failing to accept the existence of evil enterprise does not protect you from it.  Regardless how that enterprise manifests.
The United States used to hold such bold recognitions.  However, under the leftward and self-serving immoral slide, the lines between right and wrong, good and bad, freedom and serfdom, have been blurred.

ISRAEL – Melding the Hanukkah holiday and foreign affairs, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu solemnly vowed to serve as a “light unto the nations” and act against Iran’s nuclear program should diplomacy fail Thursday night. (more…)

Did Mr. and Mrs. Obama meet with, or personally -as in physically- show their support for U.S. Troops or Service members this year? 
You see, in a very real and simple sense, people do that which is important to them; and people avoid that which is unimportant.   This is a simple truth in life that many people seem to ignore.  
Washington (CNN) – President Obama paid a visit Friday to a group of activists who have been fasting for weeks in the hopes of pressuring Congress to pass new immigration laws.

Obama and his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, visited the group on the National Mall to lend support for the cause. The “Fast for Families” protesters have given up all sustenance except water during their protest, which they hope will force lawmakers to take up immigration reform measures pending on Capitol Hill.

Dear friends, no further commentary on my part is actually needed:

Good luck New York !  Y’all are in our prayers.

How rabid is the Democrat mindset to retain their ideological power at all costs?

(Via TPM)  Colorado state Sen. Evie Hudak (D), who was facing a potential recall election over her vote in favor of stricter gun control laws, will resign Wednesday, Denver television station KDVR reported.

Hudak’s decision assured that Democrats would hold onto their one-vote majority in the state Senate, according to the TV station, with a Democratic committee being allowed to pick her replacement.

“In the interest of preserving the progress made over the last year, I am resigning as State Senator for District 19, effective immediately,” Hudak wrote in a resignation letter.

Hudak reiterated her support for strengthened gun control laws.  (link)

Yes, “Illegal Aliens” is the correct term.   An alien registration card is the official legal language for permanent visa and legal immigration status.    If an immigrant does not possess an alien registration card, or legal citizenship status, they are an “illegal alien”.
CALIFORNIASTAN – More than 100 people pelted U.S. Border Patrol agents with rocks and bottles during a rowdy confrontation Sunday afternoon along the U.S.-Mexico border, federal authorities said.

Nobody was seriously injured and it’s not clear whether the crowd was trying to enter the U.S. illegally or hold a demonstration, but the sight of a large crowd surging beyond the border rattled nerves. (more…)
