MSM forgets his political party------Ray Nagin found guilty on 20 of 21 counts
Blog: Ray Nagin found guilty on 20 of 21 counts:"Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, whose tenure in office included disastrous incompetence in handling Hurricane Katrina (for which the media blamed President George W. Bush), has been found guilty on 20 of 21 counts of corruption in a federal trial.
Conviction on all counts could have led to a 20 year jail sentence and $1 million in fines, but at this point it is unknown which count went not guilty and how that will affect the sentence.
Bill Chappell of NPR writes an article that does not identify Nagin's political party, which is the mainstream media convention when treating criminal Democrats:"

"When hearing news about MI road spending as outlined below.
Remember MI has the 7th highest tax on gasoline. Michigan residents are already paying for first class roads. It is up to our elected officials to put that money into roads.
Michigan Ranks 50th In Per-Capita Spending On Roads And Bridges
Some Census data could better explain the numerous potholes in Michigan.
The state is dead last in per-capita spending on infrastructure among the 50 states, according to the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association (MITA).
According to 2010 Census Bureau data, Michigan spends $154 per person annually on its infrastructure. Many neighboring states spend anywhere from $60 to $376 more per person, MITA reported"

Obama's executive actions "a very dangerous thing," says legal scholar
Obama's executive actions "a very dangerous thing," says legal scholar:
"A legal scholar said Wednesday on Fox New’s “The Kelly File” that President Obama’s decision to bypass Congress to enact legislation is “a very dangerous thing.”
“The framers created a system that was designed to avoid one principle thing, and that’s the concentration of power in any one branch, because that balancing between these branches in a fixed orbit is not only what gives stability to our system, but protects us against authoritarian power, protects civil liberties from abuse,” Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University Law School, told host Megyn Kelly.
“And what we’ve been seeing is the shift of gravity in that system in a very dangerous way that makes it unstable.”"

Cuomo aide caught breaking gun law quickly receives waiver
Cuomo aide caught breaking gun law quickly receives waiver | The Daily Caller:
"Jerome Hauer, a top aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, appears to have regularly carried a firearm to work in violation of state law.
Hauer runs New York’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.
Cuomo, an advocate of ultra-strict gun control laws, appointed him to the job in 2011.
Hauer’s 9-millimeter Glock first came to the attention of local newspapers when he used the gun’s laser sighting attachment as a pointer during a meeting with a Swedish delegation.

....State law, however, explicitly bans state workers from bringing guns to the workplace, which Hauer apparently did frequently. Reporters began asking questions about Hauer’s habit of carrying his gun to work, only to be stonewalled by the Cuomo administration.
On Wednesday, the Times Union learned that Hauer had received a waiver allowing him to carry a handgun to work. The waiver was issued only four days after they ran the story about Hauer using the laser sight as a pointer.

Politics: Endangered Senate Dems openly pushing IRS to target opposition political groups | Best of Cain:"So what do they do?
Why they call the IRS for help, of course.
From The Hill's piece entitled "Vulnerable Dems want IRS to step up"...
Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the Internal Revenue Service to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races.
In the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, the Democrats are publicly prodding the agency instead of lobbying them directly."

Rarely did the issue of race come up,” Thomas said during a chapel service hosted by the nondenominational Christian university.
“Now, name a day it doesn’t come up. "

Rush Limbaugh’s Really Bold Prediction About 2014 Midterm Elections
Rush Limbaugh’s Really Bold Prediction About 2014 Midterm Elections | TheBlaze.com:
"Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh went “out on a limb” and predicted Wednesday that the 2014 midterms will be a “wave election like 2010.”
“I think the people of this country are gonna sweep Democrats out of office every chance they get, every opportunity they get — and I think there’s plenty of evidence for it right now,” Limbaugh said.
“You don’t have Henry Waxman and these people retiring unless they know.”
He argued Democrats like Waxman don’t want to be a member of the minority party and are getting out of the way.
“These people don’t want to be in the minority.
It’s no fun,” the radio host added.
“If a guy like Waxman’s gonna quit…
Believe me, this is all he knows.
He doesn’t play golf.
He doesn’t play shuffleboard.
He uses nasal spray, but that’s about it.”
Limbaugh also theorized that Democrats have the polling data that shows their support lacking."

Experts Agree – Gun Buybacks Are Useless and Do Nothing to Prevent Crime:
"Today, the Boston Globe has published an article on the ineffectiveness of these programs.
Here is are some of the highlights,
“Unfortunately, there is no compelling evidence that gun buyback programs are an effective crime-fighting tool or that they reduce the rates of crime,’’ said Jon Vernick, co-director of Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research…
…Gun buyback programs have been a staple of urban crime-fighting measures across the country for more than two decades, but a growing body of research has concluded they are ineffective, at best.
A 2003 study of buyback programs nationwide by Anthony Braga, a crime specialist who is now a professor at Rutgers University, found that the programs had no impact on gun crime or gun-related injuries, and that the programs do not target guns highly likely to be used in violence…"

"F**k the EU" Is Right: The World Would Be Better Off Without It
"F**k the EU" Is Right: The World Would Be Better Off Without It :: Gatestone Institute:
"No one in the world takes the unelected, unaccountable and non-transparent EU seriously, except its members -- least of all the Iranians, who benefit so much from their greed and naïevté.
......A second farce – and equally harmful to Israel's vital interests – is the deal that Ashton brokered last autumn between the West and Iran.
It has allowed Iran to develop a nuclear program for so-called peaceful civilian purposes.
Such a program makes no sense in a country that possesses the second biggest gas and oil reserves in the world.
The reason why Iran wants to go nuclear is the opposite of peaceful.
It wants to develop nuclear arms in order to "put down Israel," mostly likely among other countries -- in particular those still with no nuclear weapons but with tempting oil fields.
Not to mention a nuclear-tipped warhead being aimed at virtually every capital of Europe; Iran would not even have to use them for any political or economic blackmail; a reminder should do the trick.

What Republicans and Democrats Don’t Understand About the Insurance Company “Bailout”
What Republicans and Democrats Don’t Understand About the Insurance Company “Bailout” | John Goodman's Health Policy Blog | NCPA.org:
"The third vehicle is the risk corridor, which basically redistributes funds from profitable insurers to unprofitable ones.
Unlike the first two vehicles, however, this adjustment is not revenue neutral.
If the entire market turns out to be unprofitable, the federal government steps in to subsidize some of the losses.
In fact, there is potentially an unlimited taxpayer liability here — at least for the next three years.
By the way, did you know that there is a similar risk corridor in the Medicare Part D program — one that was never sunset?
And because insurers are overall profitable in that market, the federal government actually is making an annual profit from the Part D risk corridor.
In essence, seniors are overpaying for drugs and the federal government is pocketing the overpayments. (We’ll save this scandal for another day.)"

Europe Considers Wholesale Savings Confiscation, Enforced Redistribution
Europe Considers Wholesale Savings Confiscation, Enforced Redistribution | Zero Hedge:
"At first we thought Reuters had been punk'd in its article titled "EU executive sees personal savings used to plug long-term financing gap" which disclosed the latest leaked proposal by the European Commission, but after several hours without a retraction, we realized that the story is sadly true.
Sadly, because everything that we warned about in "There May Be Only Painful Ways Out Of The Crisis" back in September of 2011, and everything that the depositors and citizens of Cyprus had to live through, seems on the verge of going continental.
In a nutshell, and in Reuters' own words, "the savings of the European Union's 500 million citizens could be used to fund long-term investments to boost the economy and help plug the gap left by banks since the financial crisis, an EU document says."
What is left unsaid is that the "usage" will be on a purely involuntary basis, at the discretion of the "union", and can thus best be described as confiscation."
