OBAMA TO BRITAIN On His Legacy: I Saved The World Economy, Made Deal With Iran, Stopped Ebola » 100percentfedUp.com:

"Hey Barry…you forgot to mention that time you parted the seas…oh wait, that wasn’t you. Why not tell Britain the truth? Tell them how you created the most hostile atmosphere towards law enforcement that this nation has ever seen. How your real legacy will be that of the worst racial division since the civil rights era. You also neglected to mention that you destroyed our relationship with Israel (our only true ally in the Middle East), while making “friends” with communist regimes and cutting lopsided deals with radical Islamic nations who openly advertise their hate for America for all the world to see. Don’t kid yourself Barry. Your legacy will be that of the worst President to ever occupy the White House.  

President Barack Obama boasted of his legacy during a town hall in Britain, asserting that he single- handedly saved the world during his presidency."

Senate votes to restore full taxpayer subsidies for windmills

Senate votes to restore full taxpayer subsidies for windmills - Washington Times:
"Hot air still rules on Capitol Hill, where senators voted Tuesday to restore millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies for windmills, in a signal that Congress is still eager to pick winners in the emerging renewable energy sector.
A sizable number of Republicans joined most Democrats in backing the subsidy for research on wind energy which, while small in terms of dollars, is considered a major symbolic test of Congress’s commitment having alternative energy sources be part of the mix, even if they aren’t economically viable on their own yet..."

What could possibly go wrong?-----Detroit medical marijuana shops sprout like weeds near the suburbs

Detroit medical marijuana shops sprout like weeds near the suburbs - Crain's Detroit Business
A new zoning law and suburban customer base are pushing medical marijuana dispensaries to the fringes of Detroit.
About 250 dispensaries have applied to operate under the new zoning law in Detroit, and an analysis shows clusters of retail medical marijuana shops operating along Eight Mile Road and the east side of Detroit, bordering Ferndale, Hazel Park, Eastpointe, Harper Woods and the Grosse Pointes.
"If you're looking for honey, where are all the bees?" said Grosse Pointe Park attorney Tim Dinan of Dinan and Associates PC, who represents both medical marijuana caregivers and patients.

One student calls mural of gun shooting flowers 'emotionally triggering' - artist paints over it

One student calls mural of gun shooting flowers 'emotionally triggering' - artist paints over it - The College Fix:
"Artistic self-censorship — over one complaint
Move over comedy — art may be the new offense on college campuses.
Case in point: A mural of a gun shooting flowers was largely covered over after it was accused by one student of being an “emotionally triggering” image that threatens black students at Pitzer College.
“My Black Mental and Emotional Health Matters.
I shouldn’t be reminded every time I leave my dorm room of how easy my life can be taken away, or how many Black lives have been taken away because of police brutality. 
This is emotionally triggering for very obvious reasons,” student senator Gregory Ochiagha had said in a mass email to students recently.
Original intent for the mural was to comment on peace movements during the Vietnam era with no intention to weigh in on police brutality.

...But student artist Selena Spier agreed to re-conceptualize her masterpiece over the one complaint.
“I spoke with Gregory earlier and we agreed on a modification that preserves the integrity of the original piece while avoiding any potentially triggering content—it’s a change I was absolutely happy to make in the interest of creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone in my community,” Spier told the Claremont Independent.
Not everyone agreed with the decision."

How Democrats Win Debates by Corrupting English

How Democrats Win Debates by Corrupting English - Reason.com:
"Humans have been using euphemisms ever since Adam first "knew" Eve.
In politics especially, obfuscating and twisting the meaning of words has been going on forever.
But today's debates aren't only littered with rhetorical distortions; in some ways, many of Democrats' most potent arguments are built on corrupt language.
One word that's really getting a workout this cycle is "loophole." 
Basically, all of life is a giant loophole until Democrats come up with a way to regulate or tax it.
In its economic usage, "loophole"—probably more of a dysphemism—creates the false impression that people are getting away with breaking the law. 
It's a way to skip the entire debate portion of the conversation and get right to the accusation.
So when Hillary Clinton promises to close the loophole of corporate inversion, what she means to say is that Democrats disapprove of this completely legal thing that corporations do to shield their money from the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world.
Loopholes are like giveaways, monies that D.C. has yet to double and triple tax.
It's one thing for Democrats to try and set the parameters of a debate before the debate is even had, but it's quite another to watch the press participate.

• Here's CNN: "Clinton to push closing corporate tax loopholes." 
• Here's The Hill: "Obama calls for Congress to close corporate tax loopholes." 
• Here's how Halimah Abdullah and the Associated Press reported the issue on NBC: "President Obama on Tuesday criticized loopholes that help protect offshore tax havens and U.S. companies that move abroad for lower tax rates."
• ...Bernie Sanders..."The offshore tax haven network isn't something that we need to reform or refine. It's a form of legalized tax fraud that must end."

"Legalized tax fraud" is a revealing statement about the progressive belief system.
For progressives, taxation is moral.
So when you fail to pay an imaginary tax that doesn't exist but Democrats think should, you are by default engaged in fraud. 
The law has just to catch up with sin..."

Pandering to felons?!!-----The Voting Effect of Virginia’s Move on Felons? Small but Potentially Decisive

The Voting Effect of Virginia’s Move on Felons? Small but Potentially Decisive - The New York Times:
"There was considerable fretting — or satisfaction — over Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s decision Friday to re-enfranchise 200,000 ex-felons in Virginia.
The state will be one of the central battlegrounds this November, and it’s widely believed that ex-felons will vote heavily for Democrats. (More than half are African-Americans, a big voting bloc for the party.)
And the big number of newly enfranchised voters — 200,000 — is actually larger than Mr. Obama’s 149,298-vote margin of victory there in 2012.
But the electoral effect of felon re-enfranchisement is likely to be modest.
The best-case scenario for Democrats might be that they improve their popular vote margin by a half-point.
That’s a big deal, but only in a close election..."

On The Prowl: Russian Attack Submarines Patrolling Near Cold-War Levels

On The Prowl: Russian Attack Submarines Patrolling Near Cold-War Levels:

"Even more worrying was this nugget buried in the piece:

Russia is also building an undersea unmanned drone capable of carrying a small, tactical nuclear weapon to use against harbors or coastal areas, American military and intelligence analysts said.

Charming. An enemy that was defeated by Ronald Reagan’s military buildup in the 1980s is posing an entirely new threat to the United States. Meanwhile, the current American president prattles about the liberal dream of a nuclear free world, and makes war policy based on the exaggerated threat of “climate change” as the very real threat of foreign countries flexing their military muscles grows right under his nose.

Putin’s Russia is changing the rules of the game, while Obama sits on the sidelines."

The money is flowing like never before and profits are piling up, but will their profits be sustainable? The alternative energy market is already imploding and trillions are being wiped out.

Heavy teen marijuana use may cut life short by 60

Heavy teen marijuana use may cut life short by 60 - CBS News:
"Heavy marijuana use in the late teen years puts men at a higher risk for death by age 60, a new long-term study suggests.
Swedish researchers analyzed the records of more than 45,000 men beginning in 1969 and 1970.
The scientists from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm reported that 4,000 died during the 42-year follow-up period, and men who'd used marijuana heavily at ages 18 and 19 were 40 percent more likely to die by age 60 compared to guys who hadn't used the drug.
The authors of the new study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, said the findings contradict previous research involving the same group of men.
But this study was longer and participants might have reached an age where the long-term effects of cannabis were taking a toll on health, said addiction expert...
"Cannabis users have poorer health in general.
You'd expect there to be increased mortality risk," Krakower told CBS News.
He pointed to another long-term study linking early heavy marijuana use with lung cancer, and a second study that associates the drug with increased heart problems..."

Democrat culture of corruption-----The mayor is going down!

The mayor is going down! | New York Post:
"Less than a week ago, Mayor de Blasio was offering aid to Ecuadorians after the earthquake there. Now a political earthquake is rocking City Hall and the mayor is the one who needs help.
The report from the state Board of Elections that accuses him and his team of “willful and flagrant” violations of campaign-finance laws immediately changes everything.
The veneer of business as usual is shredded.
Never again can de Blasio wave off questions about the mushrooming investigations of his administration.
As revelations pile up day after day, allies will desert him and the Putz will find himself a very lonely man.
There is no way to sugarcoat the facts: de Blasio is in trouble. 
Maybe very big trouble.
His City Hall is being depicted as the seat of a criminal enterprise. 
And so far, he offers nothing resembling a convincing ­denial.
As bad as it is, the election report covering the 2014 state Senate races is just the start.
The endgame involves the more ­lethal issue of whether de Blasio sold government favors to donors. 
That is what federal prosecutors are looking for, and I believe they will find a mother lode..."

It gets worse!

"Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz struggled to defend former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server this morning during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

When host Chris Wallace asked the Florida congresswoman about about Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ persistent critiques of Clinton’s campaign and the scandal that surrounds it, Wasserman Schultz unsuccessfully tried to divert the conversation to the messy, “backwards” Republican race."

AT&T offering $5 internet to low-income families

AT&T offering $5 internet to low-income families | New York's PIX11 / WPIX-TV:
"SAN FRANCISCO — AT&T will start offering discounted internet access to low-income families for as low at $5 a month.
Any home where at least one person receives food stamps will be eligible for the new program, called Access from AT&T.
The offering is part of an agreement AT&T made with the FCC as part of last year’s DirectTV merger and will be available until 2020.
The company is the latest to offer discounted internet to low-income households in the United States, joining Comcast, Google Fiber, and some local government and nonprofit.
...In March, the FCC voted to expand its Lifeline program and add a $9.25 subsidy that could go toward broadband internet for low-income households. 
Another government initiative called ConnectALL wants to bring internet access to 20 million homes by 2020.
Access from AT&T will offer 3Mbps connections for $5 a month, and faster 5Mbps or 10Mbps connections for $10 a month.
All installation and equipment fees will also be waived.
...To spread the word about the program, AT&T says it will work with community organizations on education. 
The pool of potential customers is deep. AT&T currently offers internet in 21 states, and there are 22 million families signed up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which offers food stamps."

Sheriff Clarke Slams Hillary Clinton, Democrats, For Pandering To Blacks

Sheriff Clarke Slams Hillary Clinton, Democrats, For Pandering To Blacks:

"He went on to make a broader point about the Democrat Party’s perceived penchant for pandering. Though he has won four elections as a member of the party, Clarke urged blacks to consider the candidate before his or her party affiliation.

“You go to all these cities where there’s high poverty,” he asserted, “there’s now high levels of crime and violence. They’re all run by liberal Democratic mayors, liberal Democratic politicians. Nothing’s getting better.”

He concluded that voters should treat every candidate the same way he asks Milwaukee County voters to treat him each election cycle."
