Another one of those ‘PASS THE BILL TO SEE WHAT’S IN IT’ manuevers.  The last time did not work out too well.  [See: Obamacare] 

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy vowed to move swiftly on immigration  legislation despite calls from conservatives, including Sen. Marco Rubio, to  slow the process.

Reacting to a Rubio (R-Fla.) letter over the weekend calling for extensive  hearings on the soon-to-be-unveiled immigration bill by a group of eight  senators, the Vermont Democrat said his panel would “consider” holding a hearing  on the measure once it was introduced. But Leahy raised concerns that waiting  too long could undermine the larger effort to pass the comprehensive bill,  calling the matter “urgent.”

Senate “Gang of Eight”

“While you have conducted the process of the ‘gang of eight’ behind closed  doors, I can assure you that it has always been my position … that the work of  the Committee should be open to the public,” Leahy said in a Tuesday letter, (more…)

(Via Daily Mail) An American tourist who was attacked in Rio de Janeiro was gang raped in front of her boyfriend, it emerged yesterday.

The young woman and the Frenchman were apparently subjected to a six-hour ordeal by three men after flagging down a public transit van in the Brazilian city.

The horrific crime has sparked fear among visitors to the metropolis, which is set to host next year’s football World Cup as well as the 2016 Olympics.

A few minutes after the pair of tourists boarded the mini-bus on Friday night, the operators ordered the other passengers to get off and inflicted a ‘party of evil’ on the couple. (more…)

It’s comical to watch the liberal-left protest about North Korea’s provocations and statements about their intention to “Nuke” U.S. Cities.

Tonight I even saw Piers Morgan pose the question “when should the United States take action to defend itself, and launch a defensive attack”?

Yet, when it comes to Israel facing even more provocative intentions from Iran, and others, who have claimed a desire for total annihilation of their nation – Israel is not afforded the same right of defense.

Somehow, the leftist-progs find a way to reconcile this pretzel logic in their own little prog minds.

Sometimes it helps to just look at what was being said and espoused. Contrast what is stated and claimed in this video against the known truth – CLICK HERE  (there’s a full transcript at the link)

Hey, @piersmorgan, can you please explain these signs on your Beverly Hills property? http://t.co/OvPpUy2ZpX

Fabian-Socialists use language control to advance the Prog ideology.   It is why the term “Cultural Marxism” is the best descriptive of what they do and their intentions.

Your thoughts?

I just realized something….. it’s not “Our House”.   From their perspective it’s “Their House”.   No-more White House tours, which the water-carrying media appear to accept, for anyone….  Unless they want to throw a party.

I’m reminded of what the Clinton team did to the White House when Al Gore lost the 2000 election.

WHITE HOUSE – Next week Justin Timberlake, Al Green, Queen Latifah, and many others will perform at the White House in a “Memphis Soul” concert, the White House announced today.

“As part of their ‘In Performance at the White House’ series, the President and First Lady will invite music legends and contemporary major artists to the White House for a celebration of Memphis Soul music. The program will include performances by Alabama Shakes, William Bell, Steve Cropper, Al Green, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Joshua Ledet, Sam Moore, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples and Justin Timberlake, with Booker T. Jones as music director and band leader. The President’s remarks will be pooled press and the entire event will be streamed live on  www.whitehouse.gov/live starting at 6:55 PM ET.  (read more)

The impacts are real….  swear.   Parents and babies are dying…. school children are crying every morning….  dogs and cats are howling daily….  the animal kingdom is crying out for more government – more government….  people are really suffering because the government cannot spend more next year than this….  or something. 

WASHINGTON DC – White House spokesman Jay Carney lamented during a press conference Tuesday that the media are not covering the sequester’s “impacts on real people.”

“The impacts are real,” Carney insisted during an exchange with Fox News’ Ed Henry, “and they effect real people. And I know that there hasn’t been a lot of coverage of the impacts on real people.” (more…)

(VIA BEN JEALOUS) One year later, the Trayvon Martin tragedy still stings – and some people are still throwing salt on the open wound. Last week George Zimmerman’s brother, Robert Zimmerman, posted a tweet comparing Trayvon Martin to De’Marquis Elkins, 17-year-old black teenager charged with fatally shooting a one-year-old baby.

The tweet showed a photo of Elkins side by side with a photo of Martin, both making inappropriate gestures, with the caption “A picture speaks a thousand words. Any questions?”

Zimmerman’s follow-up tweet read “Lib[eral] media [should] ask if what these [two] black teens did [to] a [woman and her baby] is the reason [people] think blacks might [be] risky”. The implication was that Trayvon Martin’s actions on the night he was murdered were equivalent to the killing of an innocent child. (more…)

Modern Political history is filled with mayoral candidates who position themselves for victory in their bid for public office by getting arrested.  Marion Barry in Washington DC appears to have been one of the most prolific felons to use the approach.

(Via GWP) Missouri – A former alderman and current candidate for mayor in Pine Lawn was arrested Sunday night, after police say she created a disturbance inside a grocery store.

Nakisha Ford was charged with disorderly conduct and stealing after she allegedly became upset with a campaign ad posted inside a Pine Lawn Market, and began yelling at employees to remove it. (more…)
