The basic plot of "
The Avengers" [movie] is that the freedom-defending
superheroes have united to try to stop the totalitarian,
big-government-loving Loki from subjugating all of humankind.
Like Obama, the despot-wannabe Loki is fond of giving speeches. Also like President Obama, he picks Germany to wax Marxist.
After terrifying and then herding hundreds of theater-goers into a
public square, Loki demands that they kneel before him. When they do, he
proceeds to give what will become the most quoted political speech of
2012 — precisely because it so eerily echoes the words and theology of
the president and his mentor Saul Alinsky.
Says Loki to the cowering crowd now kneeling before him:
"I come with glad tidings of a world made free — from freedom.
Freedom is life's great lie. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your
life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. Is this not
simpler? Is this not your natural state?
"It is the unspoken truth of humanity: that you crave subjugation.
The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble
for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end ... you
will always kneel."
Bingo. The Obama-Alinsky philosophy in one liberty-destroying sound bite.

The veteran lawmaker is responding to what 13 Investigates discovered
all across Indiana: illegal immigrants getting big tax refunds
from the Internal Revenue Service thanks to a loophole in federal law.
MORE: Tax loophole costs billions
The loophole allows undocumented workers to collect what's called an
additional child tax credit.
The credit – up to $1,000 per child – can be claimed even by families
who pay nothing in taxes, in many cases resulting in a cash payment from
the IRS. It is intended for working families with children who live in
the same home.
But a local tax preparer came to Eyewitness News to blow the whistle
on millions of people who, he believes, are taking advantage of the
system. He says many illegal immigrants are claiming the tax credit for
children who've never lived in this country, and he showed 13
Investigates dozens of redacted tax returns to prove his point.

President Obama is heading to Albany tomorrow for a much-anticipated
visit highlighting jobs, at which he's now touring the NanoTech Complex,
a center that gets heavy praise in the upstate New York area.
It's a switch from where he was originally heading,
GlobalFoundries, a computer chip plant that's been the subject of a number of profiles, and which employs about 1,300 people.
But it's also a company that is owned by the Abu Dhabi government.

No one likes paying cell phone bills. What if you could get a free
phone with a calling plan whose cost was paid by the federal government?
What if you could have eight free cell phones? You can, and people do,
Rep. Tim Griffin told The Daily Caller. The annual bill runs over $1
billion, and he’s trying to stop it.
The federal government started the Lifeline program to provide phones
to low-income Americans. It originally provided only landlines, but
cell phones were added several years ago.
“That’s when the program absolutely exploded and has become a
nightmare,” Griffin said in a phone interview with TheDC. Calling it
“Uncle Sam’s unlimited plan,” the Arkansas Republican has proposed a
bill that would scale back the program to its original form: landlines
only.
“People are not only getting [one free cell phone], they’re getting
multiples. There are reports of people getting 10, 20, 30 — just
routinely getting more than one, selling them, storing them up,
whatever,” Griffin said.
“And they’re not just phones that are able to dial 911. They’re
smartphones. They’re the type of phones that you and I pay hundreds of
dollars a month to have contracts for.”

Richard
Trumka, head of a labor union devoted to recalling Gov. Scott Walker,
R-Wis., began spinning the prospect of Walker winning even as the
Democratic primary draws to a close.
"It's not a test-run [for labor]," Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, told
Newsmakers
when asked about his efforts to defeat Walker. "They're going to spend
more money probably in Wisconsin -- the Koch brothers and Karl Rove and
everybody -- than they're going to do in most other states," Trumka also
said, as he said a Walker victory would not have any bearing on
President Obama's prospects in the state.
Trumka argued that, whether Walker wins or loses, the unions have
already succeeded in intimidating other state legislatures and governors
into avoiding the union reforms that Walker undertook.
"Would you like to take this fight on?" he asked, rhetorically. "A
year after you were in office, woudl you like to be in the fight of your
life, spending $25-30 million to hold onto a seat that you were
supposed to have for four years . . . would that embolden you? Not if
you're sane and rational it wouldn't."

Strategic minerals that are essential components in green and high
technology such as hybrid cars, iPods and solar panels are readily
available in the U.S. but efforts to mine the elements are being stalled
by bureaucrats for years, industry officials say.
“The United
States is heavily reliant on foreign countries such as China for
critical minerals that are the building blocks of our economy and
imperative to renewable energy development, military technology and the
manufacturing of nearly all of our electronic devices,” said Rep. Doc
Hastings (R-Wash.), chairman of the House Resources Committee.
There
are 15 such rare earth minerals worth more than $6 trillion, including
terbium, yttrium and dysprosium that are found throughout the U.S.
To
increase access, Republican lawmakers are supporting legislation called
the Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act that they say
tackles the highest hurdle of getting the needed permits to begin mining
operations.

The “real” unemployment rate – a broader, more inclusive
measure of the country’s jobless picture than the one usually used –
remained unchanged at 14.5 percent in April, as the economy created a
paltry 115,000 jobs.
Known formally as the U-6 unemployment rate, this measure includes
those formally counted as unemployed, those known to be marginally
attached to the workforce, and those who are working part-time because
they cannot find full-time work

Bake sales, the calorie-laden standby cash-strapped classrooms, PTAs
and booster clubs rely on, will be outlawed from public schools as of
Aug. 1 as part of new no-nonsense nutrition standards, forcing
fundraisers back to the blackboard to cook up alternative ways to raise
money for kids.
At a minimum, the nosh clampdown targets so-called “competitive”
foods — those sold or served during the school day in hallways,
cafeterias, stores and vending machines outside the regular lunch
program, including bake sales, holiday parties and treats dished out to
reward academic achievement. But state officials are pushing schools to
expand the ban 24/7 to include evening, weekend and community events
such as banquets, door-to-door candy sales and football games.

Forget the excitement of the sporting
performances at the London 2012 Olympics. The Government’s decision to stage
the biggest-ever peacetime display of the nation’s military firepower is set
to rival anything the world’s leading athletes can offer at the various
Olympic venues.
In scenes reminiscent of the Blitz, a new generation of heavily armed Typhoon
interceptors and anti-aircraft missile batteries will be stationed among the
city’s residential districts ready to shoot down any rogue plane at a
moment’s notice.

The Left seeks fundamental structural change to our entire form of
government. In keeping with their amoral, means-justifies-ends
philosophy, they will register any voters, dead or alive, legal or
illegal, who will then vote as many times as possible, in order to
establish a “
permanent progressive majority.” As two New York Democrats recently caught in a vote fraud scandal
told police, “voter fraud is an accepted way of winning elections…”
This strategy has been under development for decades. They have
constructed an entire industry devoted to this task and pursue a
multifaceted strategy to accomplish it:
1. Swamp election officials with overwhelming numbers of
registrations at the last possible minute, a huge proportion of which
are deliberately fraudulent, in order to create
systematic chaos. This accomplishes numerous goals:
2. Activists sue state authorities for “voter suppression,” creating
further chaos and pressuring them to become de facto taxpayer-funded
voter registration operations;
3. Eric Holder’s Justice Department tacitly supports voter
intimidation tactics, sues states and backs private lawsuits, and
resists reform as “voter suppression.”
4. Leftist echo chamber discredits allegations of vote fraud,
supports “suppression” theme, and promotes advantageous legislation.
The ultimate goal is a systematized, taxpayer-funded voting machinery
that will guarantee maximum participation from the Left’s voting
demographic while undermining the ability to manage elections and
prevent fraud.
