WAIT, I THOUGHT THE SCIENCE WAS SETTLED:
CDC admits long-standing error, there is no benefit in reducing salt.
“It may be that we’re better off with more salt than less, up to 2 or even 3 tsp per day.
How did it happen that such standard medical advice drifted astray, then went un-corrected for so long?”

The Government Scandal (You Haven’t Heard Of)
The Government Scandal (You Haven’t Heard Of) | Hoover Institution:
"By now it is well-known that public employee contracts with generous wage and benefits are bankrupting state and local governments across the country and encircling the necks of future generations with an anvil of debt. What is almost completely unknown is that the hard-nosed union officials who negotiate lavish contracts for government workers are often paid to do so with taxpayer dollars.
That is part of a widespread practice called “release time,” in which public employees are paid full-time wages and benefits by taxpayers, yet they report and answer not to government officials (or taxpayers) but to their unions.
In turn, release time can be used for lobbying, campaigning, soliciting grievances, union recruiting, and negotiating for higher wages and benefits—all at taxpayer expense."

Whatever Happened to "Green Jobs"?
Whatever Happened to "Green Jobs"? | Mother Jones:
"When you stop and think about it for a minute, the messaging change here is pretty extraordinary.
After all, four years ago the administration's central talking point on climate change did not mention climate change.
Rather, the idea was that greening our economy would confer a major benefit in the form of a profusion of green jobs.
"It's ironic that the administration, which helped launch 'Don't talk about climate change, talk about economics and jobs,' has flipped to 'Let's talk about climate change and frame it in moral terms,'" says Joe Romm, a former Clinton administration clean energy official "

Model 'regrets £5,000 NHS boob job and wants them reduced'
Josie Cunningham: Model 'regrets £5,000 NHS boob job and wants them reduced' | Mail Online:
"A part-time model who had a £4,800 breast enlargement at taxpayers' expense has said she now wants the implants removed, and is expecting the NHS to foot the bill once more.
Josie Cunningham, 23, has said rather than improving her life her breast enhancement surgery has left her feeling self-conscious and has led to bullying, so she wants them removed.
The aspiring model hit the headlines earlier this year when she had her breasts increased from a 32A to 36DD on the NHS as she said she was being bullied for her smaller cleavage."

RACIAL HATEMONGERING ON THE TAXPAYER’S DIME:
Newly Released Documents Detail the Department of Justice’s Role in Organizing Trayvon Martin Protests. “Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents proving that the Department of Justice played a major behind-the-scenes role in organizing protests against George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is on trial for second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February 2012.”

Zimmerman is on trial for second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in February 2012.”
So not only did we have a public statement by the President that might have tainted the jury pool, but now we find the Department of Justice was involved in, basically, organizing a lynch mob?
Related: Disorder: Judge Recesses Zimmerman Trial, Excludes Damning Evidence. “Trayvon Martin’s phone had hundreds of messages discussing criminal behavior, including trafficking black-market firearms.” So maybe the folks at DOJ felt they had something in common with him . . . .
Look at the residents of this ‘gated community’ who lived just in that one spot. It is more diverse than a Democrat photo-op. This neighborhood had young and old, Asians and blacks and whites and Hispanics all living next to each other in peace, but needing gates and a neighborhood watch to protect themselves from outsiders.
Without the race-baiters — now almost exclusively to be found in the Democratic Party and its media wing — Americans get along pretty well. And it’s certainly a more diverse crowd than at Obama Campaign HQ.
