Forcing Israel's hand----Bibi Blasts Iran Talks After Iranian General Says ‘Israel’s Destruction Is Non-Negotiable’

Bibi Blasts Iran Talks After Iranian General Says ‘Israel’s Destruction Is Non-Negotiable’ | Washington Free Beacon
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement on negotiations with Iran:
"Yesterday an Iranian general brazenly declared and I quote: ‘Israel’s destruction is non-negotiable’, but evidently giving Iran’s murderous regime a clear path to the bomb is negotiable. This is unconscionable. I agree with those who have said that Iran’s claim that its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes doesn’t square with Iran’s insistence on keeping underground nuclear facilities, advanced centrifuges and a heavy water reactor. Nor does it square with Iran’s insistence on developing ICBMs and its refusal to come clean with the IAEA on its past weaponization efforts. At the same time, Iran is accelerating its campaign of terror, subjugation and conquest throughout the region, most recently in Yemen.
The concessions offered to Iran in Lausanne would ensure a bad deal that would endanger Israel, the Middle East and the peace of the world. Now is the time for the international community to insist on a better deal. A better deal would significantly roll back Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. A better deal would link the eventual lifting of the restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program to a change in Iran’s behavior. Iran must stop its aggression in the region, stop its terrorism throughout the world and stop its threats to annihilate Israel. That should be non-negotiable and that’s the deal that the world powers must insist upon. Thank you.

Racism OK if advocated bt racists who are politically correct-----Black NYC councilwoman: It might be ‘beneficial’ to assign public housing by ethnic group

NYC councilwoman: It might be ‘beneficial’ to assign public housing by ethnic group | New York Post:
"A Brooklyn city councilwoman wants to know why “blocs” of Asians are living in two Fort Greene housing projects — and suggested it would be “beneficial” to assign housing by ethnic group.
“How is it that one specific ethnic group has had the opportunity to move into a development in large numbers?” Laurie Cumbo, who is black, said at a council hearing on public housing Thursday
...Still, Cumbo told The Post, “There could be some benefit to housing people by culture . . . I think it needs to be discussed.”"

The enemy within---University officials in Florida authorize Pro-ISIS Club: JUST CHANGE THE NAME

WATCH — University officials in Florida authorize Pro-ISIS Club: JUST CHANGE THE NAME » The Right Scoop -:
Following a similar shocking video at Cornell University released by James O’Keefe last week, Barry University officials in Florida also sanction a pro-ISIS club with the stated goal of sending material support to ISIS. The only suggestion by Barry officials was to change the name of the club “because technically our country is at war with ISIS.”
This video is far more explicit than the one at Cornell, so there is no doubt that this Barry University official new exactly what the student was asking.
Just watch:


The College Debt Bubble Is Collapsing Now: 33% Of All Student Loans Are Delinquent

Federal Report: The College Debt Bubble Is Collapsing Now: 33% Of All Student Loans Are Delinquent:
About one-third of borrowers with federal student loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education are late on their payments, according to new federal data.

The figures, released by the Education Department on Thursday, are the first comprehensive look at the delinquency plaguing those who hold federal student loans. By the new metric, which the department has never used before, roughly 33 percent of borrowers were more than five days late on one of their federal student loans as of Dec. 31. (Since the department only released individual figures for its four largest contractors, rather than a total percentage, however, the actual figure may be a few percentage points higher or lower.)

Previous measures had put the delinquency rate much lower, masking the true amount of distress among borrowers trying to make good on their taxpayer-backed debts.
There are currently 41 million Americans who collectively have about $1.1 Trillion in loans outstanding. 
That means about 13.5 million Americans are currently delinquent on roughly $350 billion in student loan debt.
Several years ago we noted that as many as 85% of broke and jobless college graduates had no choice but to move back in with their parents after they graduated. ...

Russian Analyst Calls For Nuclear Attack on Yellowstone National Park

Russian Analyst Calls For Nuclear Attack on Yellowstone National Park Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!:
"Russian geopolitical analyst Konstantin Sivkov has called for Moscow to launch a nuclear attack on Yellowstone National Park and the San Andreas fault line, noting that the devastating consequences would ‘disappear’ the United States as a country.
Sivkov made the comments in a piece for Russian trade newspaper VPK News, which were translated by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Arguing that NATO aggression against Russia required the “complete destruction of the enemy,” Sivkov went on to depict a chilling scenario.
“Geologists believe that the Yellowstone supervolcano could explode at any moment.
There are signs of growing activity there.
Therefore it suffices to push the relatively small, for example the impact of the munition megaton class to initiate an eruption.
The consequences will be catastrophic for the United States – a country just disappears,” he said.
...Fearing that the United States plans to “destroy Russia,” Sivkov says that Moscow is in a much worse position than it was 50 years ago because it has far fewer allies and cannot compete against the military might of NATO and its allies."

Amb. John Bolton: "To Stop Iran's Bomb, Bomb Iran"

Amb. John Bolton: "To Stop Iran's Bomb, Bomb Iran" - Conservatives4Palin

With Iran already reneging on key negotiated understandings to limit their nuclear enrichment program, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton says that it is past the time for the United States to take military action against Iranian nuclear sites.
In an Op-Ed in the New York Times, Bolton wrote that Iranian aspirations are propelling the Middle East toward a nuclear arms race.
Neighboring countries are moving forward, driven by fears that Mr. Obama’s diplomacy is fostering a nuclear Iran. Saudi Arabia, keystone of the oil-producing monarchies, has long been expected to move first. No way would the Sunni Saudis allow the Shiite Persians to outpace them in the quest for dominance within Islam and Middle Eastern geopolitical hegemony.
Saudi, Egyptian and Turkish interests are complex and conflicting, but faced with Iran’s threat, all have concluded that nuclear weapons are essential(New York Times)
Bolton argues that, "The inconvenient truth is that only military action like Israel’s 1981 attack on Saddam Hussein’s Osirak reactor in Iraq or its 2007 destruction of a Syrian reactor, designed and built by North Korea, can accomplish what is required."
An attack need not destroy all of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, but by breaking key links in the nuclear-fuel cycle, it could set back its program by three to five years. The United States could do a thorough job of destruction, but Israel alone can do what’s necessary. (New York Times)

Nixonian Hillary Wiped Her Server - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Nixonian Hillary Wiped Her Server - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"Hell, Nixon only erased 18 minutes.  Hillary erased literally everything.  And I am starting to see comparisons to Richard Nixon.  Hillary Clinton being compared to Richard Nixon and Nixon looking better.  Not a lot of places, but in some places.  This is an AP story.  I wonder why we're only hearing about this now, but at least we're hearing about it.

"Hillary Rodham Clinton wiped her email server 'clean,' permanently deleting all emails from it, the Republican chairman of a House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks said Friday."

Now, we were told for weeks that Hillary's staff would go through these e-mails again and again and again, and why was this information released by Hillary's attorney late on a Friday night, which is the day you do document dumps?  These are always rhetorical questions.  This is the Clinton way. "


An entire country in denial-----The Secret Growing Debt Problem

The Secret Growing Debt Problem—An Interview with Carl DeMaio | Economics21
Jared Meyer interviewed former San Diego City Council member Carl DeMaio on March 24 on the subject of what can be done to solve the growing problem of the state and local pension debt crisis. DeMaio now chairs Reform California, a political action committee seeking to place pension reform on the ballot statewide. 
JM: Could you describe the pension reforms that you instituted in San Diego and what they accomplished?
CD: The public sector government pension programs are Ponzi schemes—there’s no better way to describe them. The formulas and the benefits used are unsustainable, and the financial forecasts and models use erroneous numbers and assumptions. At the end of the day, taxpayers will be left holding the bag with fewer services, higher taxes, and billions in debt...
JM: How large is this problem right now if we’re looking at the entire United States? 
CD: This is a huge problem in three ways. 
No. 1, we’re talking billions of dollars in debt, and it’s not just the official debt. When you true up the numbers with realistic assumptions, you find that the amount of debt is far greater than government officials are willing to admit. In California, the official number is around $150 million. But, with realistic return on investment assumptions and mortality rates, you find that the real number is closer to $500 billion—half a trillion dollars—just for California alone. In San Diego, they say the debt is $2 billion. Well it’s more like $4 billion...

"Eleanor Holmes Norton, the non-voting congressional delegate for the District of Columbia, angrily sputtered during a congressional hearing Friday that the White House should not be held up to scrutiny, saying that there was no right to know what it was doing behind closed doors.

Weeks After Slamming 47 Republican Senators, Obama Calls for More to Follow the ‘Example’ of Ted Kennedy Who Made a Similar Move | TheBlaze.com:

"Less than a month after President Barack Obama denounced a letter signed by 47 Republican senators to the leaders of Iran, he honored the achievements of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy – a lawmaker who reached out to the Soviet Union in the 1980s against the will of the Reagan administration.

Urban Michigan. Imagine if Walmart was their water source------A Water Dilemma in Michigan: Cloudy or Costly?

A Water Dilemma in Michigan: Cloudy or Costly? - NYTimes.com:
"FLINT, Mich. — Depending on the day, Melissa Mays says, the water flowing out of her home’s faucets might have a blue tint. 
Or it might smell like mothballs. 
Or it might fill her home with the scent of an overchlorinated swimming pool.
Lately, Ms. Mays, who is 36 and works in marketing, has not been turning on her tap much at all.
After Flint changed the source of its drinking water last spring, Ms. Mays said, she noticed a change in the water’s color and odor.
Then she started having rashes, and clumps of her hair fell out. 
When the city issued a boil order, she stopped using the water for drinking and cooking.
Now her family spends roughly $400 a month on bottled water.
“My cat gets bottled water, our plants get bottled water, our fish gets bottled water,” said Ms. Mays, who has helped organize marches to protest the water conditions and is on a city commission seeking input on how to move forward.
“It takes four to five bottles of water to fill up a pot for spaghetti.”
Flint officials insist that the city’s water is safe... "

There're heeere--------Smart meters are a ‘costly mistake’ that'll add BILLIONS to bills

Smart meters are a ‘costly mistake’ that'll add BILLIONS to bills • The Register:
A report from the Institute of Directors (IoD) warns that the government's rollout of smart meters “should be 'halted, altered or scrapped' to avoid a potentially catastrophic government IT disaster.”
The report, entitled “Not too clever: will Smart Meters be the next Government IT disaster?” describes the £11bn scheme as “unwanted by consumers, over-engineered and mind-blowingly expensive."
The Major Projects Authority has carried out three assessments into the smart meter programme; however, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has refused to publish them, citing commercial sensitivity.
Dan Lewis, report co-author and Senior Infrastructure Advisor at the IoD, describes a "political consensus" regarding the rollout as "a conspiracy of silence among politicians in thrall to big ideas and even bigger budgets."
"This is not an age when we have to take the government in trust on numbers.
This is not where we should be at in the twenty first century," Lewis told The Register.

Another lib propaganda sheet gets fully valued-----Cablevision to make $1 offer for New York Daily News

Exclusive: Cablevision to make $1 offer for New York Daily News | Reuters:
"(Reuters) - U.S. cable T.V. operator Cablevision Systems Corp (CVC.N) is planning to make an offer for the New York Daily News as early as this week, valuing the troubled tabloid at just $1, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The offer would come one month after New York media and real estate magnate Mortimer Zuckerman said he was considering selling the newspaper and had hired Lazard Ltd (LAZ.N) to assist with the process.
It underscores the declining readership and plunging advertising revenue that have plagued the tabloid for years.
Cablevision's $1 bid takes into account the New York Daily News' reported $30 million annual loss and $150 million investment in a printing press, and declining circulation that relies heavily on newsstand sales rather than on subscriptions, the source said."
