WASHINGTON DC – President Obama’s advisers tried to put the genie back in the bottle after a leaked White House immigration plan drew outrage from Republicans who accused the president of endangering the reform push.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a key figure in immigration reform talks, was among those who slammed the president for the plan. After what was described as a draft White House proposal was first leaked in USA Today, Rubio said over the weekend it would be “dead on arrival in Congress.”
By Monday, Obama insiders were walking the plan back and suggesting the leak was not intentional. (more…)
ORLANDO, FL – Defense attorneys have deposed Chris Serino, lead investigator in the George Zimmerman second-degree murder case, according to court paperwork released today.
It’s not clear what he said, but Serino is likely to be an important witness at Zimmerman’s trial.
The former investigator publicly said the Sanford Police Department never had enough evidence to charge Zimmerman with a crime while quietly filing paperwork with the State Attorney’s Office, saying he believed there was enough to charge him with manslaughter. (more…)
This picture drew quite a considerable backlash. Not from Gun Restriction Advocates, but actually and unbelievably, from gun supporters…… they thought is was an unfair extremist presentation of Brady Gun Ban Supporters…..
Those previous folks will probably be quiet now, or, well, maybe not.
You see, before passing restrictive gun laws in Colorado the exact argument (succinctly outlined in the poster) were factually advanced by Colorado Democrats. Why Women Don’t Need Guns: You May “Feel Like You’re Going To Be Raped, When You May Actually Not Be” – So don’t shoot the would be rapist, you might be wrong.
Hey wait, that sounds remarkably similar to the “legitimate rape” argument which famed the Democrat’s “War On Women” campaign…. no, wait…

FLORIDA – A tenured professor who forced her students to sign pledges that they would vote for President Obama last November should be fired, the college’s president recommended.
Sharon Sweet, an associate professor of mathematics at Brevard Community College in Florida, is guilty of electioneering, harassment, and incompetence, according to a three-month investigation into her classroom behavior leading up to the November election. The Board of Trustees will hold a hearing on the matter, and then vote on whether to adopt President James Richey’s recommendation that Sweet be fired. (more…)
FUN FACT – The last actual federal budget passed into law was signed September of 2007, for fiscal year 2008, by George W. Bush. Not a single day of President Obama’s presidency has included any federal budgetary restrictions. Not.One.Day.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., indicated that Senate Democrats would renege on their promise to pass the first budget in four years if Republicans did not agree to raise taxes in order to avert the automatic spending cuts mandated by sequestration.
“Senator Murray is working on a budget right now and we hope we can get that done,” Reed said on CNN, referring to Senate Budget Committee chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash. “But we need time. So the sequestration will prevent — preempt us from getting a budget done and other factors.”
Underground Atlanta, the downtown attraction where this particular Waffle House is located, bills itself as a “city beneath the streets,” where one can dine, shop, and take advantage of various cultural and entertainment options.
ATLANTA GA – Myrtice White and Cynthia Delaney took MARTA from their jobs at Peachtree Center to Underground Atlanta to do what has become a tradition for many Southerners – breakfast at Waffle House.
The excitement ended when the bills came.
“Normally, this is about $10,” White said. “I just spent $16.”
Delaney shows off a cup of grits and a sandwich. $8.
“This is a $5 meal,” Delaney said. “I think the prices are high. But I would rather pay more if it means I am going to be safe.”
The Underground Waffle House opened with great fanfare in 2009, bringing one of the city’s favorite restaurants to the heart of downtown Atlanta. (more…)
No wonder he sold his TV station to Al Jazeera.
For some unknown reason during the analysis of Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State a remarkable segment of the historical reference is never brought up. What about the WikiLeaks release of State Dept emails disparaging virtually every nation in November 2010?
[…] The massive leak includes 243,270 reports sent by U.S. embassies around the world to the State Department, and 8,017 directives sent to them by the State Department. A vast mix of political assessments, reports of private talks with foreign officials, hearsay and gossip – including unflattering comments about leaders allied with the U.S. – the leaked cables have become a major embarrassment to the U.S. and especially Hillary Clinton’s State Department.
WikiLeaks provided the documents to six major world newspapers: the New York Times, the UK Guardian, Spain’s El Pais, France’s Le Monde and Germany’s Der Spiegel.
[…] The most explosive WikiLeaks revelation may be a classified July 2009 State Department directive, under Hillary Clinton’s name, that asked U.S. diplomatic staff at the United Nations to obtain credit card numbers, computer passwords and encryption codes, frequent-flyer account details, even “biographic and biometric information” (such as DNA, fingerprints, etc.), for UN officials, including Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and Security Council representatives, and also for personnel of nongovernmental agencies.

We keep wondering if any media outlet, or any outlet for that matter, will ever mention the entire second year of her term (2010/2011) being devoted to travelling around the world apologizing for her own staffs’ highly visible opinions. (more…)
