The Washington Post has an article today finally solving the riddle of who was driving the tank in his historic picture of Tiananmen Square.   
According to Washington Post columnist, Bill Minutaglio, the driver of the tank in the famous Tiananmen Square picture was Thomas Jefferson;  yes, that Thomas Jefferson.
(Washington Post)   […]  To find the very roots of the tea party of 2013, just go back to downtown Dallas in 1963,   back to the months and weeks leading to the Kennedy assassination. It was where and when a deeply angry political polarization, driven by a band of zealots, burst wide open in America.

(Via Heritage)   Last week’s closed-door testimony by five CIA operatives who witnessed the attack on the U.S. special mission in Benghazi has finally created an opening for the congressional investigating committees.

The five CIA contractors, who testified in closed-door hearings before the House Intelligence Committee Thursday and Friday, were stationed at the “CIA annex” in Benghazi, about one mile from the U.S. special diplomatic mission. This was the facility that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tasked Ambassador Chris Stevens to turn into a permanent consulate, even though security staff there was totally inadequate.

I am so angry, I can barely type.  The only reason Harry Reid changed the rules today is because the Democrats are constructing a second term bailout of President Obama, while solidifying his legacy.  This maneuver today will effect generations.

It cannot be emphasized enough how TODAY, November 21st – 2013, will go down in history as the single most definitive day when your life changed.    The entire construct of the balance of constitutional checks and balances has been tipped.   THIS IS ABSOLUTE TYRANNY ! 
Obama/Reid have previously presented the most radical judicial nominees to federal courts all over the nation.    They have been blocked by the lack of minority consent – that is the intention of the Senate.    This is not a change to “filibuster” per se’, the use of that term is just obfuscation to make what has been done seem unimportant or technical.   What Obama/Reid are doing is blocking, avoiding, ignoring the concept of “minority consent”.   The concept of “minority consent” allows a minority to protect themselves from the tyranny of the majority.
Obama/Reid have just destroyed the essential framework of freedom and liberty protection that was cemented into the building blocks of our government by Thomas Jefferson.
President Obama will put the most radical of the federal judicial appointments on the DC 5th circuit.
The DC 5th district court of appeals hears most of the cases surrounding constitutional issues and challenges against legislation stemming from Washington DC.
What Obama / Reid are doing is insuring those legal cases/challenges can be squashed before they reach the Supreme Court.   This cements the ability of unconstitutional legislative bricks to set and destroy individual liberty and individual freedom.
Today, EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE CHANGED – You just haven’t noticed yet. (more…)

Yesterday we posed the question:  Was George Zimmerman Set Up?
In an ironic response to the WKMG Channel 6 article George Zimmerman’s “girlfriend“, Samantha Scheibe, and her mother, Hope Mason,  claim they did not set him up:

[…]  “She wants to make it absolutely clear. She says that she and her daughter did not set Zimmerman up for what happened on Monday at her home in Apopka.” (link)

Yet, if you are to accept the claim by Samantha and her mother, Hope, you are left wondering – why then were they price shopping for media interviews in the weeks that led up to the recent incident ?
Not only why were they trying to sell their story to media outlets, but why did Samantha Scheibe call media resource Christi O’Conner while the argument with George Zimmerman was taking place?      Christi O’Conner is the woman who has moved to Florida, while under investigation in California, in order to make a living by selling stories in/around George Zimmerman.

Rut Roh.   More exposure for Dems behaving badly, very badly.  In this latest case a  Director of Obamacare Navigators is exposed admitting his intent to collect personal data for use in establishing files or lists of enrollee information for political purposes.

(Via Gateway Pundit)  Drivers along two neighboring Texas cities were forced to stop and submit to samples of breath, saliva, and even blood. The officials stopping traffic gave the impression that they were police, but the local police knew little information about the stops. Turns out the officials were government officials. When asked for more information, the excuse was that the government needed to collect data on drug use for a survey.

(Via NBC)  Some drivers along a busy Fort Worth street on Friday were stopped at a police roadblock and directed into a parking lot, where they were asked by federal contractors for samples of their breath, saliva and even blood. (more…)

Sex Tapes?  Depression, Drugs & Suicide?
For those who have followed the post-trial Zimmerama (Zimmerman + Drama) it’s fair to say stable judgment is not an excessive commodity.
Extending and accepting the baseline premise that no-one ever really knows what’s going on in the he said/she said world of emotional Ping-Pong nonsense.
There is however, something afoot; something amiss; something, well, sketchy with the latest “girlfriend” *quack* drama.
Re-NewsIt has presented the outline of George Zimmerman’s girlfriend Ms. Samantha *quack* Scheibe.   Enough of an outline to make you say Hmmmm?
Especially the bit where media opportunist, and rabid Zimmerman hater, Christi *quack* O’Conner, is tweeting about the “domestic event” at 1:11pm, less than 40 minutes from the beginning of the 911 call:

You heard it HERE, FIRST. George Zimmerman just got ARRESTED
for battery. In custody NOW. Full details and my investigation.

D’oh QUACK – Knowing the previously advertised goals of Christi O’Conner, plants questionable seeds by itself….. (more…)

There is a semi-big kerfuffle about President Obama reciting the Gettysburg address for a PBS special, and yet in the Obama version he left out the “under God” phrase from the …”that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom“….  part.

White House spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday gave a simple explanation for the reading.

“He [Obama] read the version of the address that Ken Burns provided,” he said, noting that Burns is a “noted Civil War scholar.”  (link)

Only there’s something weird about that Carney explanation.   Something that totally does not make sense. (more…)

This is an update to the original story:

[Excerpt from National Review]  […]  On October 17, the Obama Department of Health and Human Services, represented by the Obama Justice Department, submitted a brief to the federal district court in Washington, opposing Priests for Life’s summary judgment motion. On page 27 of its brief, the Justice Department makes the following remarkable assertion:

The [ACA’s] grandfathering provision’s incremental transition does not undermine the government’s interests in a significant way. [Citing, among other sources, the Federal Register.] Even under the grandfathering provision, it is projected that more group health plans will transition to the requirements under the regulations as time goes on. Defendants have estimated that a majority of group health plans will have lost their grandfather status by the end of 2013. (more…)
