“This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency. The problem is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.”

Former Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) will plead guilty to conspiring with his wife to illegally spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal expenses, including a $43,000 Rolex watch, fur coats and memorabilia associated with Michael Jackson, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Bruce Lee, according to information obtained by POLITICO.

The charges against him may include conspiracy, making false statements, and mail and wire fraud. (more…)

Not everyone will understand the coded message in the headline.  That’s ok.

Here is the media report from yesterday’s fiasco…. (HatTip Manybuddies)

Here are some random thoughts to chew on…. (more…)

Krauthammer: I find this amazing. First of all, just hearing him say every first grader in America has to be prepared for a high-tech economy, that is a bit early, I think. The other part of this is here we are with $16 trillion in debt, a trillion dollars a year of deficits. We have created already, with under Obama, the biggest entitlement in 50 years. And now he wants to create a new entitlement for preschool for every 4-year-old in the country.

The worst part of this, this isn’t just any new entitlement. This is an entitlement in an area where we know the $7 billion a year that we spend on Head Start doesn’t make any difference after the third grade. There is a study that HHS has done that showed that. So it’s failure and yet he wants to double down and to make it universal. That’s probably a definition of a liberal.

(Via Dana Loesch)  Missouri House Democrats have introduced an anti-gun bill which would turn law-abiding firearm owners into criminals by banning semi-automatic firearm possession:

Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution: (more…)

*Sigh*……so election 2012 has come and gone.   Even though most of us managed to survive Jan. 20th, there are still a few things some of us need to get out of our system. 👿   (Big Smile 😀)….now that’s a start!  But, I still think the DNC could stand to have a little more loving (aka disinfecting light) tossed it’s way.  Besides hating America 24/7, these evil jackwagons are obsessed with dragging our country into a bottomless abyss of soulless and financial depravity.  Not to mention the mindless droning of  hateful, insulting, and “raaycisss” epithets against anyone not marching in Teh One’s parade. Check below the fold for some special Valentines….. then have a little fun and add one of your own.  I know you can…. 😉 (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant and former reporter, scolded a congressional panel on Wednesday, saying that he should not be called illegal, and saying it is an insult to his family who brought him here.

“When you inaccurately call me illegal, you not only dehumanize me, you’re offending them,” he said. “No human being is illegal.”

Mr. Vargas testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee alongside Chris Crane — a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and president of the ICE agents’ union — who is unable to arrest him under the administration’s new non-deportation policies.

Mr. Vargas, who “came out” as an illegal immigrant several years ago, delivered an emotional plea for the country to legalize him. (more)

It’s always OK when the left-wing praises shooters and killers.   CNN Race-based contributor and Columbia Professor Marc Lamont Hill reflects on Chris Dorner and shows the blatent racism of the collective black socio-political ideology.

New Verb: Trayvonned. When a guilty thug is killed and the good guys are made out to be bad guys. Usage: Chris Dorner got Trayvonned.

The very, very end of the video is also a peek into the mindset of the uber-left world of race driven progs.  Listen as someone says “but it’s not ok” [regarding Dorners kill spree] and Lamont waxingly says “meh”…

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) made no effort to hide the fact that he believes the Democratic agenda is radical, comparing members of the party to Socialists and Marxists over the weekend.

Johnson lamented President Barack Obama’s reelection with fellow Republicans in a speech on Saturday night in Johnson Creek, Wis., calling it a “body blow to freedom.” He then described what “people who like freedom” — people such as himself — were up against.

“We are up against a strategy that is taking place by liberals, progressives, Democrats, whatever they call themselves nowadays, Socialists, Marxists,” Johnson continued, according to the Daily Jefferson County Union. “We are up against a strategy that has taken place for about a hundred years. Diabolically simple. It’s simply this: A big American government. The problem with that is far too many Americans have bought into that.” (more…)
