Obama Ignores Vietnam Vets Marching For Tahmooressi
Obama Ignores Vietnam Vets Marching For Tahmooressi:
"After ambulating for much of the month of September, and attracting supporters along the way, the pair finally arrived at the White House late last week. Upon arriving, however, any hopes of finding an audience with Obama were soon dashed.
Reports indicate that they were not only dismissed by the president, no one in the White House even acknowledged their presence. Undeterred, Brown and Sharpe addressed a large crowd of people gathered near the White House, explaining the reason behind their three-week walk."
Just another example of our very un-American president.
Please read the letter.

UM, CALL ME CRAZY, BUT cleaning up Ebola vomit with a pressure washer seems like a lousy idea.
Note the absence of protective gear.
Maybe they’d hosed everything down with bleach first.
Somebody please tell me this isn’t as bad as it looks. . . ."
Democrat Mary Landrieu Gets Owned in this New Ad Featuring Black Republican
Democrat Mary Landrieu Gets Owned in this New Ad Featuring Black Republican:
"You’re not Mary’s cause, and you’re certainly not her charity. You are just a vote. Nothing less and nothing more. For her, you’re just a means to an end so that she remains in power.
While you scrounge together food stamps to buy kool aid, she sips champagne at cocktail parties. While you dig through the couch looking for gas money, she flies around in private jets funded by taxpayer dollars.
But Mary Landrieu knows that she doesn’t have to do anything for our community, because no matter what she does, 95 percent of us will line up to vote for her. Every. Single. Time."
This is a great campaign. Conservatives must show the consequences of liberal policies. Let's hope others will follow his lead.

"West argued, consistent with her bombshell “American Betrayal,” that America’s whitewashing of Islamic supremacism — reflected in George W. Bush’s calling Islam a “religion of peace” in the aftermath of Sept. 11, the Obama administration line that the Islamic State “is not Islamic” and the official public separation of Islam from jihad and sharia law — parallels what occurred during and after World War II in America’s treatment of Communism and the Soviet Union."

Leftist reporter projecting his inner thoughts. Not pretty------ Gray Lady reporter very confused as to why Republicans don’t want the President to be attacked
Gray Lady reporter very confused as to why Republicans don’t want the President to be attacked « Hot Air:The poor performance of the Secret Service of late has been a cause for concern on both sides of the aisle. (And it’s now led to the resignation of the boss.) Member of Congress from both parties have been demanding answers and trying to find ways to plug the holes in the system, particularly considering the most recent close calls. Strangely, though, New York Times writer Peter Baker seems confused as to why Republicans would have a problem with a madman trying to break into the White House.
President Obama must be touched by all the concern Republicans are showing him these days. As Congress examines security breaches at the White House, even opposition lawmakers who have spent the last six years fighting his every initiative have expressed deep worry for his security.“The American people want to know: Is the president safe?” Representative Darrell Issa of California, the Republican committee chairman who has made it his mission to investigate all sorts of Obama administration missteps, solemnly intoned as he opened a hearing into the lapses on Tuesday.Yet it would not be all that surprising if Mr. Obama were a little wary of all the professed sympathy.

Top VA Exec Conspired With Married Boyfriend To Thwart Investigations | The Daily Caller - Part 2:
"Just six months after leaving the PBGC for the VHA, Taylor began her work bringing FedBid with her. While federal regulation prohibits employees from giving private companies preferential treatment for any reason, Taylor openly flouted these rules, reaching out to FedBid herself to get the ball rolling, and emailing other VHA officials about FedBid’s services, personally endorsing them and encouraging other federal employees to get in touch with FedBid’s vice-president. Then she personally invited FedBid to present at a VHA conference — as the investigation puts it, “Thus began a process of Ms. Taylor working extensively and exclusively with FedBid to implement reverse auctions within VHA.”

All Four Teachers in New Schauer Ad Claiming School Cuts are in Districts Receiving More Money
All Four Teachers in New Schauer Ad Claiming School Cuts are in Districts Receiving More Money [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"A new Mark Schauer for governor political advertisement features four teachers from four different school districts who claim that Gov. Rick Snyder has cut funding to their districts.
But in fact, on a per-student basis, all four districts actually received more taxpayer money in 2013-14 than they did in 2010-2011, which was the last budget approved by Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
The ad features seven teachers but only four specifically cite lower funding.
For months Schauer, who is the Democratic candidate for the state’s top office, has claimed that Gov. Snyder cut funding to public schools.
This claim has been refuted by several sources."

"Now that Ebola is officially in the US on an uncontrolled basis, the two questions on everyone's lips are i) who will get sick next and ii) how bad could it get?
We don't know the answer to question #1 just yet, but when it comes to the second one, a press release three weeks ago from Lakeland Industries, a manufacturer and seller of a "comprehensive line of safety garments and accessories for the industrial protective clothing market" may provide some insight into just how bad the US State Department thinks it may get.
Because when the US government buys 160,000 hazmat suits specifically designed against Ebola, just ahead of the worst Ebola epidemic in history making US landfall, one wonders: what do they know the we don't?"

"A senior Department of Defense official says President Obama and his administration are giving the public inaccurate information about his foreign policy strategy, particularly with regards to Iraq.
Joseph Miller, the pseudonym for a ranking Department of Defense official who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, wrote in The Daily Caller Tuesday, partially in reaction to a statement released by White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest which said that the decision for American military forces to leave Iraq “was predicated on the will of the Iraqi security forces to fight for their country.”

HHS shock: 1 in 12 Americans use illegal drugs, could fill all MLB stadiums 19 times
America is doped up — and drunk.
According to a shocking new report from the Health and Human Services Department, there were 24.6 million people aged 12 or older who used illicit drugs during just one month last year.
“That's enough people to fill every major league baseball stadium in the U.S. 19 times,” said the report. There are 30 MLB stadiums.
Even worse: Of the 24.6 million dopers, 2.2 million were adolescents aged 12 to 17.
And it doesn’t end there. The report added that in 2013, 60.1 million individuals aged 12 or older had a binge drinking episode, including 1.6 million adolescents.
The details are from the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health. They quizzed people 12 and older last year, asking what they used or took “in the past month."
The bottom line:
In 2013, an estimated 24.6 million Americans aged 12 or older were current (past month) illicit drug users. This represents 9.4 percent of the population aged 12 or older.
Marijuana was the most commonly used illicit drug, with 19.8 million current users aged 12 or older (7.5 percent).
