‘The Age of Hypocrisy’: Netanyahu Slams Western Nations for Wanting to ‘Delude Themselves’ Over Iran’s Nuclear Aspirations | TheBlaze.com:

"“I’ve heard at most minimal and faint condemnation of Iran by the international community to this murderous shipment,” Netanyahu said, calling the silence a reflection of “the age of hypocrisy.”

Without naming her, Netanyahu lambasted European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who visited Iran over the weekend.

“We witnessed smiles and handshakes of Western representatives with the head of the Iranian regime in Tehran, precisely while the missiles were being unloaded in Eilat,” Netanyahu said. “By comparison, if we build a balcony in some Jerusalem neighborhood we hear from the international community a chorus of harsh condemnations against the state of Israel.”

Like other Western nations, the U.S. has repeatedly criticized Israel for building in Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Government bans calling terrorists ‘jihadis’

Government bans calling terrorists ‘jihadis’:

"A federal appeals court is being asked to reverse a lower court decision that banned the American Freedom Defense Initiative from featuring in a bus ad the faces of men already identified by the U.S. government as suspected terrorists.

“This case is a classic articulation of political correctness as a form of tyranny, which violates our fundamental right to freedom [of] speech guaranteed by the First Amendment,” said Robert Muise, co-founder of the American Freedom Law Center, which is working on the AFDI case.

“Simply put, the government’s position is inconsistent with reality – namely, Shariah-adherent jihadists pose a significant threat to our national security.”"

U.S. state: 350,000 gun owners suddenly felons

U.S. state: 350,000 gun owners suddenly felons:

"The state of Connecticut has created a crisis for itself: The possibility of having 350,000 new felons in the state – roughly 20 times the state’s current state prison system population.

It’s all because the legislature adopted a law that said that based on certain physical features, some types of guns and weapons magazines no longer were allowed.

But there was no grandfathering for those who already had them. The guns are just no longer allowed, unless, of course, the owner submitted an application with identifying information such as fingerprints for the state to be able to identify those gun owners.

Now estimates are that up to 250,000 or even 350,000 residents didn’t meet the state’s deadline for submitting that information.

The result? They’re felons. Of course they haven’t been charged or convicted yet, but the law allows no half-measures. Even possessing the weapon makes a person a felon.

And a judge who was asked to suspend the law while a challenge to its constitutionality is debated in the courts jumped down on the side of prosecution, refusing to make that allowance."

High School Wrestler Loses State Title – But He’ll Win Your Respect With This Unexpected and Inspiring Act of Sportsmanship | Video | TheBlaze.com:

High school wrestler Malik Stewart had just lost the Minnesota state wrestling championship. It was a hard-fought match that ended with him pinned under his opponent, Mitchell McKee.

It’s what Stewart did after the tough defeat that transformed this story from a local report in the local sports section to an inspiring national 

He didn’t pound his fists. He didn’t storm out of the gym. Instead, he calmly shook McKee’s hand and then made his way towards his opponent’s father. As Stewart was well aware, McKee’s father is suffering from cancer.

The student shook the father’s hand, wrapped his arms around him and told him to keep fighting the cancer. He also congratulated the dad about his son’s big win.

Study: States That Voted for Obama Have Most Income Inequality

Study: States That Voted for Obama Have Most Income Inequality:

The top five states with the highest income inequality rates all voted to reelect President Barack Obama, though no state boasted a higher rate of inequality than Washington, D.C. This ia according to a study released this week by MoneyRates.com.

The study used data from the Bureau of Labor statistics to measure how many times more money the top-earning income bracket of a state made than bottom earners. Researchers compared the top 25th percentile earner to the bottom 25th percentile earner and divided the sums into each other, then ranked states by number. California, in which a top 25th percentile earner makes 2.55 times more than a bottom 25th percentile earner, is by far the most unequal state, followed by New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and President Obama's home state of Illinois.

The Sharyl Attkisson approach - POLITICO.com

The Sharyl Attkisson approach - POLITICO.com:

By DYLAN BYERS | 

5/24/13 12:49 PM EDT

From my report on CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson:

Sharyl Attkisson has problems.

The Obama administration won’t answer the CBS News correspondent’s questions because her investigations — into Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Solyndra — often reflect negatively on it. Some colleagues at CBS News, where she has worked for two decades and earned multiple Emmy awards, dismiss her work because they perceive a political agenda. And now, she says, someone may have hacked into her computers.

Attkisson’s one piece of solace may come from finally gaining some like-minded colleagues in the media. For years, Attkisson has been one of the few mainstream reporters pursuing critical stories about the Obama administration. Today, as “scandal season” takes hold in Washington, she has seen her longstanding skepticism of the White House and the Justice Department become the conventional attitude among a formerly deferential Beltway press corps.

Twenty-eight Democrats and two left-leaning Independents, including Senate majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada and his top lieutenants, are scheduled to speak in shifts until about 9 a.m. Tuesday. The event is not a filibuster, nor is it related to any legislation. The intent is to urge a divided Congress and nation to “wake up” on this issue.

Conn. Cop: I Will Kick Down Doors To Confiscate Guns

 "CONN. COP: I WILL KICK DOWN DOORS TO CONFISCATE GUNS"

UPDATE: Since the release of this article, Branford Police have confirmed that Officer Peterson has been placed on paid leave while an internal investigation is carried out.

A Connecticut man revealed shocking comments made by a Branford police officer this week who has openly defended door-to-door gun confiscation.

After the tragic Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, Conn. lawmakers mandated that all “assault rifles” and “high capacity” magazines be banned, requiring all in circulation to be registered with the state. Fearing the obvious move towards confiscation, the vast majority of gun owners have refused to submit, with estimates finding less than 13 percent of rifles being registered

 "“CBS News veteran Sharyl Attkisson is leaving the news division to pursue other endeavors,” she said. “We appreciate her many contributions and we wish her well.”

According to Politico, sources said Attkisson had grown increasingly frustrated by what she perceived as a liberal bias at CBS News.

“Attkisson, who has been with CBS News for two decades, had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network’s liberal bias, an outsized influence by the network’s corporate partners and a lack of dedication to investigative reporting, several sources said,” Politico reported. “She increasingly felt like her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her reporting on air.”"

ObamaCare will hasten income inequality, union report says | Fox News:

"“The promise of Obamacare was the right one and the hope for extending healthcare coverage to the un-and under-insured a step in the right direction,” the report says. “Yet the unintended consequences will hit the average, hard-working American where it hurts: in the wallet.”

The report says it’s “ironic” that the Obama administration is publicly discussing income inequality though it has yet to make the changes to ObamaCare that Unite Here believes are necessary to avoid exacerbating income disparity."

Former spy chief claims Putin regime is an 'intelligence agency dictatorship' | The Daily Caller

Former spy chief claims Putin regime is an 'intelligence agency dictatorship' | The Daily Caller:

"“About five years ago, Pacepa was warning me about Putin. He’s saying Putin is former KGB, Putin has surrounded himself with KGB people everywhere, it is now in essence an ‘intelligence agency dictatorship’,” Rychlak, a professor at the University of Mississippi School of Law, told TheDC.

This was in stark contrast to the perception that Putin was presenting a new face for Russia that was turning away from the bad days of the Soviet Union. To Pacepa, that perception was wrong.

“Pacepa was ahead of the curve in teaching me about Putin’s bad intent before I saw the stuff on the news. I think today that everyone will concede that it’s a bad situation, but Pacepa has known it for some time,” Rychlak said."

Why Benedict Arnold Is an 'American Patriot' ... in London - NBC News.com:

LONDON – The new ambassador to Britain was stunned to spot something peculiar not far from the U.S. Embassy: a plaque on the side of a once-grand building paying tribute to America’s most notorious traitor.

There it was, clear as day: “Major General Benedict Arnold American Patriot.”

The very same Arnold who fought for the American Continental Army during the Revolutionary War until he was discovered plotting to reveal its position at West Point to the British.

How could it be, Ambassador Matthew Barzun wondered. Centuries later, was Britain still bitter? Was it someone’s idea of a joke?

Barzun, who began his assignment as ambassador to the United Kingdom in August, took to Twitter and wrote a post on his blog, seeking answers.

Sheryl Sandberg on why you should never call your daughter bossy - Yahoo News

Sheryl Sandberg on why you should never call your daughter bossy - Yahoo News:

In March 2013, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In sparked a major national conversation on women and leadership in the workplace. The technology executive also set up a nonprofit, Lean In, to help women strengthen their workplace confidence and skills by convening in Lean In Circles with trusted peers. One year later, Lean In has teamed up with the Girl Scouts to launch a public service campaign, Ban Bossy, to encourage everyone to think twice about using a word that Sandberg says teaches women to hold themselves back. Sandberg talked to Yahoo News about the new initiative promoting a vision of girls and women as leaders — and why she wants to ban the word “bossy.”

Let’s start with the word "bossy." Why is it that little girls are called bossy but little boys are not?

Blood test that predicts Alzheimer's disease - Health News - Health & Families - The Independent:

A blood test that can detect Alzheimer’s disease up to three years before the onset of symptoms has been developed by scientists who believe that it could lead to the early diagnosis of progressive dementia in elderly people.

The test raises ethical concerns, however, as it is only 90 per cent accurate in its current form – meaning that up to one in ten people could be wrongly diagnosed with a disease for which there is no effective treatment.

Man convicted of slaying 7 awarded nearly $500K - New York News:

CHICAGO (AP) - A former handyman serving life in prison for the 1993 murder of seven people at a suburban Chicago restaurant has been awarded nearly a half-million dollars in a civil lawsuit in which he alleged a jail guard punched him in the face.

Victims' relatives Sunday criticized jurors' decision for James Degorski, who, with an accomplice, shot and stabbed two restaurant owners and five workers at Brown's Chicken and Pasta during a botched robbery. Their bodies were found in a walk-in cooler and freezer.

Degorski, now 41, accused a Cook County Jail guard of punching him and breaking his cheekbone and eye socket in 2002 - just after Degorski's arrest in what had been one of the most notorious, unsolved murder cases in Illinois history.

"Getting that information [on plan cancellations] and having good data as to who votes, who doesn't vote, voter registration, party affiliation, consumer characteristics, cross-referenced with that kind of information, I think, is important for us to have," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told the Washington Examiner after his CPAC panel presentation Saturday morning.

KUALA LUMPUR/PHU QUOC ISLAND, Vietnam (Reuters) - T he disappearance of a Malaysian airliner about an hour into a flight to Beijing is an "unprecedented mystery", the civil aviation chief said on Monday, as a massive air and sea search now in its third day failed to find any trace of the plane or 239 people on board.

Dozens of ships and aircraft from 10 countries scoured the seas around Malaysia and south of Vietnam as questions mounted over possible security lapses and whether a bomb or hijacking attempt could have brought down the Boeing 777-200ER which took off from the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur.

Top Dem sees new train wreck for own party

Top Dem sees new train wreck for own party:

"Hubbell’s research shows the administration’s plan has to do with cost and reducing drug overuse. DHHS cites a 2008 actuarial study stating that the six protected classes accounted for 17 to 33 percent of drug spending.

“Apparently money trumps well-informed, accepted and successful medical care even if it undermines ‘a key protection for some of the sickest, most vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries,’” he writes. “The administration’s other rationale is reduction of overuse. When it comes to anti-rejection drugs, for example, it’s hard to see the logic. Such medications limit one’s immune system; the higher the dosage, the more unlikely one’s system can combat other diseases. Trust me, no transplant patient wants to take more anti-rejection medication than absolutely necessary. And we already have a wide variety of safeguards, including criminal penalties, to protect against the over-prescribing or abuse of anti-psychotic drugs. To deny coverage for drugs like Wellbutrin and Prozac to treat depression in the elderly, merely to prevent a potential for abuse, makes no medical or practical sense at all.”"
