It would appear that once again the realities of Islamic extremism, Islamic terror, and radical Islam are providing real life audio-visual examples of their ideological goals.  Terror.   Yet amazingly absent from all the American media reporting on this latest example is any mention of Islam.
(Daily Mail) — A self-confessed Al Qaeda terrorist thought to have murdered seven people across south west France over the past two weeks was going to post footage of his crimes online today, he claimed.

Mohammed Mera, 24, told news channel France 24′s editor Ebba Kalondo at 1am this morning he had ‘filmed everything’ with a small video camera and ‘intended to put the videos online’.
But just two hours later more than 300 armed police dramatically raided his Toulouse home – where three officers were injured – and he is now cornered and under siege. (more…)

By now most people are aware that President Obama presented a budget in March for congress to consider.   He is legally bound to do so.  It died in the Senate because Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to bring it up for a vote.

You might also remember the bi-partisan “STOCK ACT” bill that passed the House in overwhelming measure.   The ‘Stock Act’  is the bill that was to ban members of Congress from using nonpublic information to profit their private investments, or insider trading.   It is dead in the Senate because Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid refuses to bring it up for a vote.

In Memoriam 1969 – 2012

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 †

WASHINGTON – House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., this morning unveiled an updated budget proposal aimed at overhauling Medicare and Medicaid, reforming the tax code and putting the nation on a sustainable fiscal path.
If implemented, the plan would reduce deficits by $3.26 trillion from 2013 through 2022 relative to President Obama’s budget, according to the Congressional Budget Office, while averting massive tax hikes. […]
Compared with the CBO baseline, which, among other things, assumes all Bush tax rates will expire and that Congress will actually go through with steep scheduled cuts to physicians payments under Medicare, Ryan’s budget would add $240 billion to deficits over the decade. Yet compared to Obama’s budget, Ryan would reduce spending by $5.3 trillion and taxes by $2 trillion, for $3.26 trillion in deficit reduction. Compared to his own budget from last year, public debt would be $1 trillion less by 2021. (more…)

Good for Newt.   Gingrich fires back, Santorum whimpers….
(CNN) – President Barack Obama’s reelection organization said Tuesday it was “inappropriate” for Robert De Niro to joke at a campaign fundraiser in New York Monday that America wasn’t “ready for a white first lady.”
“We believe the joke was inappropriate,” Olivia Alair, Campaign Press Secretary to the First Lady, said in a statement.

The campaign’s comment came after Newt Gingrich delivered a scorching response to De Niro’s comments at an Obama for America fundraiser, which was attended by first lady Michelle Obama. (more…)

Update @10:40am  Politico is reporting the News Sites were scrubbed at the request of the White House:  Kristina Schake, Communications Director to the First Lady, emails to confirm this was a White House effort:

From the beginning of the administration, the White House has asked news outlets not to report on or photograph the Obama children when they are not with their parents and there is no vital news interest. We have reminded outlets of this request in order to protect the privacy and security of these girls.

But, did the President’s own US State Department change its travel advisory wording to protect the President from criticism and embarrassment from his daughter’s Mexico visit, because governmental family personal travel is prohibited?
