Hazmat crews are on the scene of a CSX cargo train derailment near Baltimore, Maryland, just outside of the nation’s capital. Witnesses reported an explosion and several buildings in the immediate area collapsed.
BALTIMORE — One person was injured in a train derailment and explosion in Baltimore County that sparked a fire, sent shock waves throughout the region and caused precautionary evacuations.
Baltimore County fire officials said a CSX train derailed in the area of the 7500 block of Lake Drive near 66th Street in Rosedale at 2:02 p.m. Tuesday after it collided with a truck. (more…)
Last month we brought you the story of John Heinz Kerry’s new strategy for diplomacy. {It was part of our “stuck on stupid” series} In essence Ketchup Boy’s primary strategy is to put Western Businesses in the Middle East, subsidize their efforts, and hope that the jihadists will take off their suicide vests in favor of picking up a spatula (taking a job).
“[W]e’re not going to solve this challenge of terror and of extremism and of people finding an alternative if we’re not reaching out to people, talking to them, bringing them to the table and trying to work through major, perceived differences,”
[…] “I believe we have to create a new paradigm, frankly, to deal with this.”
[…] He repeated that the new paradigm combines economic diplomacy with “significant diplomatic outreach.”
Yesterday the initial report of him following this strategy came out: (more…)
Et tu Bobte’ ….. You know things are seriously headed in the wrong direction for the Modern Liberal Establishment when even CBS’s Bob Schieffer stands aghast:
Schieffer probably runs up there in the stratospheric water-carrying media close to the same level of Mr. Tingles (Chris Matthews). So when you see propagandist sympathizers like him begin to doubt Dear Leader, you know trouble exists.
This is really an epic display of prog-logic. I’m generally neutral on Juan Williams because he’s a centrist about 25% of the time. But sometimes his liberalism needle just gets fundamentally stuck-on-stupid. This is one of those times.
Watch how Williams spins the framework of Attorney Eric Holder approving and authorizing the direct Rosen subpoena. The non-judicially reviewed subpoena targeted all of Fox news reporter, James Rosen’s business phone, personal phone, email, and phone records of his entire geographic family including his parents, under the auspices of Rosen being an unindicted co-conspirator to criminal activity; The charge: Domestic Terrorism.
Yet here’s Juan Williams on one hand saying the charges are ridiculous – and obviously done to target a journalist under the most horrible of intentions – yet on the other hand saying it’s really not Eric Holder’s issue, and Holder can/should investigate himself.
*Note* Holder approved of the filing by the Asst Attorney General; He approved of the charge, the content, and the scope of the investigation. Holder signed off on the affidavit authorizing it. Hello?….. Holder already approved the aspects Williams is saying Holder should investigate….
Jim Hoft has a great post up at GateWayPundit about exposing the strategy of the DSCC (Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee). In essence this outlines EXACTLY what we said last week they were going to do – it’s just how they roll.
It’s important to note these are not campaign PAC’s, or merely affiliate entities of the Democrat party, like Think Progress or Media Matters et al. These are the ACTUAL and OFFICIAL statements from the Democrat Party itself.
The Progs are seriously distraught about how the scandals of using official political power to attack the conservative movement is actually creating a backlash. More people now are openly understanding how Conservatives have been, and continue to be, targeted, in an official capacity, by the Administration of President Obama.
Previously, the left-of-center crowd (ie blue dogs) thought these Tea Party claims were merely “tin foil hat” type of conspiracy theory. Now the Independents, and moderate Democrats are realizing it’s not wild conspiracy, it’s true.
(Via Breitbart) On Wednesday, House hearings on the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) political targeting of conservative groups uncovered a startling revelation about the interview process used to construct the Inspector General’s report: Obama donor-turned-IRS director of tax exempt organizations Holly Paz sat in on 36 of 41 interviews with IRS employees.
“Why was Holly Paz… in almost all of the interviews you conducted?” asked Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC). “Why would you have someone from the IRS in those meetings? Is that proper protocol?”
“I am unaware of it,” said Inspector General J. Russell George. “This is the first I’ve heard this.” (more…)
Oh my…. Puppy Love Spat?…. “hostile and angry”….. Priceless
Don West files response to State regarding the relevancy of discovery evidence for Trayvon Martin’s background, conduct, associations, drug use, gun ownership, criminal records etc. It is, after all, a self-defense defense; Meaning the actions of the other party led to the consequences to them by the response from the other.
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder personally signed off on the warrant that allowed the Justice Department to search Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal email, NBC News’ Michael Isikoff reported Thursday.
The report places Holder at the center of one of the most controversial clashes between the press and the government in recent memory. The warrant he approved named Rosen as a “co-conspirator” in a leak investigation, causing many to warn that the Justice Department was potentially criminalizing journalism. The warrant also approved the tracking of Rosen’s movements in and out of the State Department, as well as his communications with his source, Stephen Kim. (more…)
If you wonder why the IRS officials seem Teflon coated in this scandal consider that in 2010, 2011 and 2012 top congressional Democrats demanded the IRS take action against the Tea Party and other conservative groups the Congress People claimed were engaging in political activity.
Starting in the fall of 2010, ten leading Democrats – Including, Max Baucus, Chuck Schumer, and Al Franken – wrote the IRS demanding that the agency crack down on conservative groups. Now that actual targeting has taken place, merely just doing what the Democrats demanded the IRS do, the same Democrats claim outrage at the activity. Typical CYA Progs.
