Other than the passage of the 17th amendment the action of the Senate yesterday to strip the rule of minority consent, sold by the media under the obfuscation term of “the filibuster rule”, nothing has been so stark as to destroy the very foundation from our republic.
To justify the usurpation the White House tweets this message:

Everything you need to know about why today’s #filibuster rule change is a really big deal: http://t.co/Sl4lKRMxpe, pic.twitter.com/69aLdZ8kpL

Understand the severity – The “minority consent“, now dispatched in rather willy nilly fashion, by Majority Leader Harry Reid is the thread which binds the very fabric of the constitution.
There is NOT one mention of the word “Democracy” in our constitution – NOT ONE.  The absence of the word democracy is specifically intentional.
The exact phrase which sums up our united states charter is:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government.”

The “Consent of the Minority” was not merely a substantive point of constitutional construction.  It was -by intentional construct- the very binding substance which created the parchment before a single word was penned. (more…)

(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.

Prior to the revolutionary war the majority did not want to fight England for our independence.   During the revolutionary war the majority did not want to help fight England for our independence, they were called loyalists.   In the actual fighting itself many loyalists assisted the armies of King George against the army of our congress who were called Continentals.
From our own soil 50,000 Loyalists joined England and fought for King George.   For comparison only 35,000 Continentals were in the fight for independence.
Hence 44,500 non-military militia were needed and eventually mobilized from every village and farm.
People often forget it was a minority of patriots who wanted, fought for, and won liberty for an entire nation.

Those Loyalists who favored British colonial rule never left, they were not dispatched after our national independence was won.   Those British Loyalists who were uncommitted to our struggle for independence stayed here in a new nation enjoying the liberty and freedom they never lifted a finger to support – and in many cases fought against.
For 207 years we have been in a war of ideas with that uncommitted crew.   We have been fighting a war of ideas between a proposition of “liberty and independence”, and those who prefer, or at least are comfortable with, a lesser freedom.
Today that loyalist-minded majority changed the rules.

The media are finally catching on;  well, sort of.   We have been highlighting the “knock out game” or, as it is called regionally “Polar Bear Hunting” since it’s origin in the summer of 2011.  
The actual behavior, black youths punching random white pedestrians and posting the results to their social media networks, began during the Wisconsin State Fair in 2011 – it spread from there to cities and states coast to coast.
The media have picked up on the behavior but they are avoiding pointing out the racial aspect.   All the thugs are black males, and all the victims are white.

Today another report from the surrounding Philadelphia area – “Knockout” attacks have been reported in several states around the country and now investigators believe three people have been attacked in our area.
Police in Lower Merion are investigating two attacks in the area, and Philadelphia detectives are investigating an attack in Northeast Philadelphia.
It’s a violent crime that in other parts of the country has proven fatal. (more…)

It’s bad enough to know confirmation exists of Al Shabbab Islamic terrorists having crossed the U.S. Mexico border;  but to know we are allowing immigration through traditional processes is, well, beyond alarming.

Several dozen suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees, according to FBI agents investigating the remnants of roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan. 

(Via ABC News)  Two al Qaeda-Iraq terrorists were discovered living as refugees in Kentucky in 2009. The men later admitted in court that they’d attacked U.S. soldiers in Iraq, ABC News reported.
The investigation showed that Waad Ramadan Alwan was mistakenly allowed to resettle in Bowling Green, home to Western Kentucky University and very close to the Army’s Fort Knox and Fort Campbell. (more…)

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.

Last night Greta Van Sustern bravely highlighted the growing trend of Black on Non-Black violence.  We expanded on her presentation HERE.

Rumor has it that Bill O’Reilly will be following up tonight on his show.   Just an FYI.

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…)
