No doubt all of this directed by CoC President Tom Donohue. The Republican representatives who did not support Boehner’s anointment to “Speaker” will now be cast to the capitol dungeon, where they will silently sit out the rest of their term.
Boehner and Mitch McConnell can now ¹defend ObamaCare, and ²develop Comprehensive Immigration Reform (amnesty), and ³continue with Common Core. 

John Boehner is getting revenge – After he secured his third term as speaker Tuesday afternoon, losing 25 votes on the House floor to some relative-unknown members of the Republican Conference, Boehner moved swiftly to boot two of the insurgents from the influential Rules Committee. That could be just the start of payback for the speaker’s betrayers, who might see subcommittee chairmanships and other perks fall away in the coming months.
Boehner’s allies have thirsted for this kind of action from the speaker, who say he’s let people walk all over him for too long and is too nice to people who are eager to stab him in the back. The removal of Florida Reps. Daniel Webster and Rich Nugent from Rules was meant as a clear demonstration that what Boehner and other party leaders accepted during the last Congress is no longer acceptable, not with the House’s biggest GOP majority in decades.

I guarantee you if this kid was reading the Koran, the teacher would not have told him to put it away.

Cultural Marxism Strikes Again – (Via Truth Revolt) A 12-year-old Missouri middle-schooler was told by his teacher that reading the Bible during free time is prohibited.
Loyal Grandstaff’s father said his son’s freedoms of religion and speech were both violated. He is reaching out to the school for answers, according to WDAF-TV.
The boy told the news station:

I like to read my Bible because it’s a good book. I was just reading, just reading because I had free time. A time to do what I wanted to, so I just broke it out and read.

Loyal said he wanted to read the Bible during free time because he feels encouraged by it. He stated that he wasn’t reading aloud or sharing the book with any other classmates when his teacher approached and told him to put it away. (read more)

Our Republic is full of people standing in the rain, wondering why they are getting wet.

The Keystone Pipeline has the support of 68% of all Americans and President Obama has vowed to kill any efforts toward it.    Some people ask why would Obama take a position so far away from the American electorate?   
I quietly respond: when ObamaCare was constructed 74% of the nation opposed it – what ‘the majority want’ has nothing to do with what progressives do.  They do what they want.  
WASHINGTON DC – The White House said on Tuesday that it would veto legislation that approves construction of the Keystone XL pipeline if it passes Congress.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised to make a bill that green lights the $8 billion oil sands project the first item to hit President Obama’s desk this year. (more…)

Moonbats’ seek a cradle to grave nanny state….
(Via ABC) As anyone who has grown up around snow knows, part of the fun of sledding is the risk of soaring off a jump or careening around a tree.
But faced with the potential bill from sledding injuries, some cities have opted to close hills rather than risk large liability claims.
No one tracks how many cities have banned or limited sledding, but the list grows every year. One of the latest is in Dubuque, Iowa, where the City Council is moving ahead with a plan to ban sledding in all but two of its 50 parks. (more…)

Two New York police officers where shot yesterday. Given the heightened sense of concern stemming from the “FTP” movement assassinations, many people are wondering if these shootings are related. The shootings do not appear related:
New York […] The unidentified officers were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital where they are in critical but stable condition, and are expected to recover, the NYPD said.
The anti-crime officers, who were in plain clothes, were part of a group of five officers who were responding to a call about a robbery at a grocery store on East 180th Street in the Bronx, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said.
The officers were approaching two suspects who had just entered a nearby restaurant when one of the suspects opened fire, Bratton said. The officers returned fire and two of them were wounded.
[…] Bratton said the two suspects fled on foot to Marion Avenue, where they carjacked a white Camaro from two women. Shortly after, they abandoned the car and continued to flee on foot, police said. Investigators recovered a black Ruger Blackhawk revolver nearby. The suspects have not yet been apprehended. (Full Story)
