Pennsylvania Dem took bribe to oppose voter ID law, but never got charged

Report: Pennsylvania Dem took bribe to oppose voter ID law, but never got charged | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"Pennsylvania Democrats reportedly were caught on tape accepting cash bribes, including one lawmaker who was paid to vote against a state voter identification law, but Democratic Attorney General Kathleen Kane shut down the investigation.
 "Before Kane ended the investigation, sources familiar with the inquiry said, prosecutors amassed 400 hours of audio and videotape that documented at least four city Democrats taking payments in cash or money orders, and in one case a $2,000 Tiffany bracelet," the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
"Typically, the payments made at any one time were relatively modest -- ranging from $500 to $2,000 -- but most of those involved accepted multiple payments, people familiar with the investigation said. In some cases, the payments were offered in exchange for votes or contracts, they said.""

After Third Robbery In A Month, Jitterz Java Owner Arming Baristas

After Third Robbery In A Month, Jitterz Java Owner Arming Baristas (VIDEO) | The Federalist Papers:
"This woman’s coffee  shop has been robbed three times in a row.
Now she’s fed up and want’s criminals to know what’s waiting for them!
If you intend on robbing one particular coffee joint in Spokane, Washington, you may get more than just a shot of espresso, because the baristas at Jitterz Java in the town’s northwest are now packing heat.
A number of robberies and attempted robberies already this year have prompted the move.
The latest one caught on CCTV wasn’t successful.
But it’s why Krystal Coggswell and staff want to keep firearms on full view for customers, day and night.
Coggswell say she has a concealed carry permit for the revolver she keeps by her side and says her customers are mostly fine with the new policy.
Moreover, she says she’s been around guns her whole life and knows how to handle one but didn’t say whether she’d use deadly force if faced with a hostile coffee lover."

6 Arguments Only A Liberal Could Believe

6 Arguments Only A Liberal Could Believe - John Hawkins - Page full:

"It's almost impossible to have any kind of meaningful discussion with a liberal because while you're trying to come up with logical points to support your position, he’s trying to come up with new ways to convince people you're Hitler. 
Modern liberalism has turned into a willful embrace of stupidity. 
It's all about setting reason and intellect aside in order to take an emotionally-satisfying position that makes a liberal feel better about himself. 
This is how people who are undeniably intelligent can feel good about taking brainless positions that hurt a lot of people......
1) Everyone who disagrees with a liberal is racist!"

The cast of Today can’t understand why Obama isn’t one of the top leaders in the world

The cast of Today can’t understand why Obama isn’t one of the top leaders in the world | Rare
Fortune magazine recently released their list of the world’s top 50 leaders, and missing from that list is the current president, President Obama.
The cast of NBC’s “Today Show” thought this decision “surprising.”
“Bill Clinton comes in at number five and makes the cover. There are a lot of other notable names here. Tell you what, though, there may be some talk about one leader who did not make the list, the leader of the free world, President Obama. Fortune tells us he was not overlooked, he just did not make the cut,” co-host Savannah Guthrie said.
“Yeah, that’s surprising,” Matt Lauer followed up.
Fortune explained their reasoning in a statement to NBC news:
President Obama wasn’t excluded from Fortune’s World’s 50 Greatest Leaders list. He simply didn’t make this year’s list of 50 outstanding individuals who have demonstrated rare leadership, leadership in multiple areas or who have demonstrated a long history of leading.
Other leaders on the Fortune list include Angelina Jolie, Bono, Malala Yousafzai and Pope Francis, who made the top spot.

Democrats Steal Tea Party Symbol to Promote Obamacare

Democrats Steal Tea Party Symbol to Promote Obamacare:
How desperate are Democrats to sell Obamacare?

So desperate that they're adopting the Tea Party's beloved symbol, the Gadsden "Don't Tread on Me" flag, to sell it, as per this tweet by Democrat strategist Christine Pelosi (yes, that Pelosi family).

The flag is a national symbol, of course, but Democrats have spent the last several years describing it as some kind of latter-day version of the Confederate battle flag, or worse.

How RIDICULOUSLY HARD Can Common Core Math Make Subtraction? (Video) | The Federalist Papers:
"College students and others at George Mason University were dumbstruck by the tedious nature of an elementary level Common Core problem during a short series of interviews conducted by Campus Reform last week.
The problem, 32-12, was demonstrated to those on campus the traditional way and juxtaposed with the Common Core method.
“That was extra difficult for no reason” one interviewee told Campus Reform.

It's the culture, stupid-------Video: Purse-snatching victim dragged

Video: Purse-snatching victim dragged | WOODTV.com:
"The video showed the suspect’s car as it circled the lot and the victim as she reached in her vehicle and began to put items in the back.
 The woman then left her purse in the grocery cart, and suddenly, the driver of the silver car pulled up next to the victim’s cart, according to the video.
 “He grabs her purse.
She grabs onto the purse as he’s driving away.
He pulls her across and she actually struck that vehicle that was parked there,” Shaw said.
“You would think, if she grabbed onto the purse, she wouldn’t be able to hold on to it.
Unfortunately, she was, and was pulled off balance or however that occurred.”
 The video then showed the victim getting dragged several feet before striking a vehicle parked a few spaces away."

"Snyder Aims to use Potholes as Leverage for “Gas Tax” and “Vehicle Registration Fee” increases to get Road Fund Money.

"As I have reported earlier that Senate Majority leader Randy Richardville told the Monroe Chamber that there will be some sort of re-alignment but not until after the elections!

Now this reported in the Detroit News, some Republicans in the House’s majority party say any long-term road funding fix may have to wait until after the November election during the lame-duck session when term-limited lawmakers may feel more comfortable voting for a tax increase."

Ellen Sucks Up to Obama: Obamacare 'Doing Very, Very Well...I Think Everyone's Very Grateful You Did This'

Ellen Sucks Up to Obama: Obamacare 'Doing Very, Very Well...I Think Everyone's Very Grateful You Did This' | NewsBusters:
"Ellen DeGeneres was a completely slavish toady to President Obama as he appeared on her show to sell Obamacare -- not to young people, but to mothers.
The president made his pitch to "especially all the moms out there who may have young people – 26, 27, do not have health insurance, but they think they’re invincible and nothing’s ever going to happen to ‘em – what we’ve said is you never know what life is going to throw at ya."  
For example, a president who lies about keeping your plan and keeping your doctor.
You didn't see that coming!
But DeGeneres said "everyone's very grateful" for Obamacare: "

"Rabbi Daniel Lapin of the American Alliance of Jews and Christians said Thursday that there are two words often used by those “seeking to increase tyranny and totalitarianism.”

Speaking with guest host Stu Burguiere on the Glenn Beck Program, Lapin explained: “For those seeking to increase tyranny and totalitarianism, fairness and equality is a great thing to work people up about, because you essentially get a population — particularly a docile population — to agree to almost anything in the name of equality and fairness.”"

The Washington Post Gets Around to Reviewing an Obama ‘Zinger’ From the 2012 Presidential Debates | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Recent events in Ukraine and Crimea have apparently convinced the Washington Post fact checker that it’s worth going back and finally reviewing an Obama “zinger” from a 2012 presidential debate.

“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years,” President Obama told former Massachusetts Mitt Romney on Oct. 22, 2012.

The remark was universally hailed as a solid blow against Romney. However, a few years out and with Russia ignoring the international community in its actions against Ukraine, perhaps that line isn’t so clever after all."

Best & Worst States to be a Taxpayer

Best & Worst States to be a Taxpayer | WalletHub®:
"Economic mobility – that is, our ability to climb the proverbial ladder – has a strong correlation to where we live.  
Children from Seattle whose families are in the 25th percentile in terms of income, for example, end up at roughly the same economic stature as kids from the median family in Atlanta.
Why? 
State and local taxes.  
At least that’s what a group of Harvard and Berkeley researchers collaborating on The Equality of Opportunity Project have to say.
They “found a significant correlation between both measures of mobility and local tax rates.”

Want to know which states have the most and least burdensome taxes?"
