“The children belong to all of us” ?   Hmmm.  How positively Clintonian.

(CNSNews.com) – In addressing criticism of the Common Core national  education standards, a panelist at the Center for American Progress  (CAP), a liberal think tank, said critics were a “tiny minority” who  opposed standards altogether, which was unfair because “the children  belong to all of us.”

The CAP was founded by John Podesta, former chief of staff to Bill  Clinton and now an adviser to President Barack Obama.  At a CAP event to  promote Common Core on Friday, CNSNews.com asked about the critics who  say federal monetary incentives attached to Common Core is driving the  states to implement the standards.

There is not an organism alive on the planet which, given all possible conveniences, will not consume every single resource immediately in front of it.  Period.

Put a bacteria into a petri dish of broth and the bacteria will continue to grow until every ounce of energetic expansion resource (broth) is consumed.

Put an endless bowl of consistently good tasting food/treats on the floor and every cat and/or dog in your home will grow fat.

Put an endless supply of continually fresh and great tasting food in front of a person and they will grow fat.

It is the inherent state of unbridled biology, within every single organism, that all resources will be consumed unless they have cognitive and spiritual connection to virtue. (more…)

ALABAMA – (wkrg)  […]   Victim Mr. Carroll Jordan – A generous man to everyone who knew him—even lending his car to those who needed it.

“Tried to be a good neighbor.”

But that kindness was struck down when two men and a woman walked through his open front door, pulled him from his favorite chair, beat and stabbed him several times. One of those men was 18-year-old Robert Campbell who was arrested this morning after being found at a relative’s house. Jordan’s neighbor actually interrupted the crime.

ABC News Reporting –  Two teenagers have been arrested after police say they burglarized  51-year-old Kimberly Leto’s home and killed her.

“That it was a 14 and 15-year-old is unimaginable. There is a loss of life  and two lives thrown away,” said Baltimore Police Commissioner, Anthony  Batts.

Police originally thought the teens were 14 and 15; they have since corrected  those numbers and confirm that they are charging 14-year-old Alonzo Gorham-Ramos  and 16-year-old Allen Pinkney with Leto’s murder.

“This is a heartbreaking tragedy, on so many levels,” Commissioner Batts said. “Our purpose today is not to claim victory on this arrest, rather it is to limit that such a tragedy occurred in the first place.” (more…)

(Via Breitbart) Miley Cyrus opens up–once more–about her life in the new edition of W magazine. The former teen star says men watch too much porn, women believe romantic movies are reality and she’s not ready for a new romance.

She is more than ready for one activity, though, something now legal to do in Colorado.

“I love weed,” she said. “I just love getting stoned.”

Cyrus smoked what appeared to be a joint during an appearance at a European music awards show late last year.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Benghazi:

Why was Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi Libya on 9/11/12 ?
Who was the CIA Station Chief in Benghazi Libya on 9/11/12 ?
Where are the victims of the terror attack ? Why have we not heard from them ?
What did Obama do after 7:18pm (DC time) on 9/11/12 ?
Why did the Turkish delegation not see any issues at 9:30 pm when leaving the compound ?
… or did they ?

IRS:

If it’s not a scandal then why is there a Justice Dept investigation?
If it’s not a scandal then why did IRS head Lois Lerner plead the fifth ?
If it was not even remotely a scandal then why did Obama call an emergency presser to announce his outrage ?

Good video below from Senator James Inhofe (Oklahoma) on Benghazi.

Recent reports are indicating CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell was the person inside the intelligence community who was working to shield Hillary Clinton.  Mr. Morell  spent two years as the head of the CIA’s main analytic arm, the Directorate of Intelligence 2011 and 2012.

Morell became the interim CIA Director when General Petraeus stepped down due to his personal issues and convenient for the administration extra-marital affair.   [ Eric Holder’s FBI was holding all the investigative information over the affair – *wink* *wink*]

A September 15th, 2012 email from the Benghazi CIA Chief of Section, soon to hit the media cycle, essentially states they had been trying for days to politely say to the top of the CIA -political side- Benghazi was a direct terrorist attack and could not understand why the political side (career Morell manipulating story to non-career Petraeus) was spinning another story.

In the direct language contained within the memo the Station Chief underlined it was NOT a spontaneous protest turned violent. (more…)

SEATTLE WA – Seattle police arrested Musab Mohamed Masmari this morning in association with the New Year’s Eve arson at Neighbours nightclub, says Detective Mark Jamieson.

The Seattle Police Department’s Arson/Bomb Squad had been working with a joint terrorism task force since the incident occurred in the early minutes of January 1, when someone poured gasoline down a flight of stairs in the packed gay bar and lit it ablaze. All 750 patrons escaped without injury.

SPD posted photos of a person of interest in the case on January 13, now believed to be Masmari.

Police say that Masmari, 30, was apprehended today outside of Seattle while he was traveling to Sea-Tac Airport. Detectives then interviewed Masmari and booked him into King County Jail this afternoon as a suspect in the arson investigation. The soonest Masmari would make a court appearance is Monday, according to Jamieson, who says police would “like to thank the public for their tips.” (continue reading)
