Cut off foreign aid to Egypt?; Billions of tax dollars going to Cuba; Hillary's link to Muslim Brotherhood; Obamacare would cover weight-loss treatments; Military tank exercises in St. Louis; Right to bear arms; No sunscreen allowed in school; Greening Al Gore's wallet; Dem Convention downsizing; Legions of lawyers; Jimmy Carter accuses Obama; Border Patrol must leave vehicles in environmentally sensitive areas; National Security Adviser double-dipping

Congressman Allen West (R-Fla.) on Sunday called for President Barack Obama to immediately cut off all American foreign aid to Egypt and to denounce the results of its presidential election after Muslim Brotherhood-backed candidate Mohammed Morsi’s victory.

“A year ago there were those of us who warned the Obama administration of a Muslim Brotherhood takeover in Egypt,” West wrote. “We were castigated as alarmists and loose cannons. Today our predictions have come to reality and the ominous specter reminding us of the Iranian revolution is evident.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/repudiate-the-muslim-brotherhood-allen-west-calls-for-obama-to-immediately-cut-all-american-foreign-aid-to-egypt-following-election-results/

Two U.S. senators and a representative worry that billions of tax dollars could be going to Cuba and other foreign countries via criminal schemes designed to defraud Medicare and Medicaid.
The schemes often involve the use of “nominees,” individuals who are paid to be fronts for the actual owners of corporate entities being used in the fraudulent operation. By concealing the identities of true owners, the approach invites its use to funnel tax dollars out of the country.  [Fraud?  What fraud?  Shouldn't we trust our government to run every thing?]  http://washingtonexaminer.com/watchdogs-solons-worry-medicare-billions-going-overseas/article/2500391

Saleha Mahmood Abedin, the mother of Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, reportedly served in the women’s division of the Muslim Brotherhood alongside the wife of Egypt’s new president, the Brotherhood’s Mohammed Mursi.
WND previously exposed Abedin represented a Muslim charity known to have spawned terror groups, including one declared by the U.S. government to be an official al-Qaida front.
WND also reported Clinton spoke at Abedin’s Saudi women’s college, where she was introduced by Abedin alongside the Islamic activist’s daughter, Huma, who serves as Clinton’s chief of staff. At the speech, Clinton praised Saleha’s “pioneering work.”
Huma Abedin is also the mother-in-law of disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y.  http://www.wnd.com/2012/06/hillary-tied-to-new-muslim-brotherhood-president/

Under the healthcare law, insurance companies would be required to cover the panel's recommended weight-loss treatments. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the law this week. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-sci-obesity-screening-20120622,0,2815818.story

Late last week and through the weekend, citizens of St. Louis, Mo., were told not to be alarmed should they see military tanks roll by their home. Even with this warning, though, some wondered why the U.S. Army was taking the vehicles off the base and to the streets in the first place.
According to KSDK-TV, Army specialists from Fort Meade came into town for a training exercise for members of the 354 NP company. As the reporter states, this “drivers’ ed.” for tanks will take place on city streets and the highway.
“One of the interviewees even points out that in some countries they don’t use police at all; only military.  This is true,” he writes.  “We call those countries ‘tyrannies.’”  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/makes-very-little-sense-why-are-army-tanks-rolling-down-residential-roads-for-training-in-st-louis/

Last week I released a video on the 2nd Amendment stating well-documented, historical facts about totalitarian leaders and their implementation of gun control laws prior to exterminating millions of their own citizens in 1911 Turkey and 1939 Nazi Germany.
The right to bear arms was put in the Constitution so the people of the United States could defend themselves against tyranny and oppression. It would be foolish to think unarmed citizens are the cause of mass murder; it’s the acts of narcissistic tyrants that result in mass murder. But when people are unarmed, it makes it easier and our Founding Fathers knew this. http://www.redstate.com/theplumber/2012/06/25/i-can-see-russia-from-my-backyard/

Teachers allowed two young sisters to get so badly sunburned that they needed hospital treatment because of a little-known law that bans students from applying sunscreen at school.
Fair-skinned Violet Michener, 11, and her nine-year-old sister Zoe were left seared from head to toe after spending an afternoon in the sun during an outdoor field day in Tacoma Washington.
Their mother, Jesse Michener, who didn't put cream on the girls in the morning because of a rain forecast, was horrified to learn that teachers refused to allow the children to apply any cream.

Here’s an inconvenient truth: New York is greening the wallet of Al Gore.
Embattled city Comptroller John Liu has delivered a $16.56 million contract to the former vice president’s environmentally friendly investment firm, Generation Investment Management, to help manage hundreds of millions of dollars in city pension funds, The Post has learned.
The Comptroller’s Office had previously awarded Gore’s firm $12.8 million in pension-fund business under Liu’s predecessor, Bill Thompson.  {I recently read that 50% of Congressmen are millionaires, while only 1% of the American population qualify as millionaires.  Since Michelle Obama in 2008 said that "someone is going to have to give up their piece of the pie so that someone else can have more", and since Democrats in Congress are against the 1% and for the 99%, perhaps the sacrifices should be theirs.  Those readers who need a definition of Crony Capitalism have just been given on example.] Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/city_deal_core_for_gore_XAN5WntX6MJPP3vQX6JcNL#ixzz1yBFuU2I2

News from the Democrat National Convention: Democrats canceled a political convention kick-off event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.  The move comes as party planners are grappling with a fundraising deficit of roughly $27 million, according to two people familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss internal party politics. With a party ban on direct contributions from corporations, the host committee has raised less than $10 million, well short of its $36.6 million goal, said one of the people. [They will now cancel the first day's special happening (around a car race, I believe) and will shorten the convention from 4 days to 3.]

President Barack Obama's campaign has recruited a legion of lawyers to be on standby for this year's election as legal disputes surrounding the voting process escalate.
Thousands of attorneys and support staffers have agreed to aid in the effort, providing a mass of legal support that appears to be unrivaled by Republicans or precedent. Obama's campaign says it is particularly concerned about the implementation of new voter ID laws across the country, the possibility of anti-fraud activists challenging legitimate voters and the handling of voter registrations in the most competitive states.
Republicans are building their own legal teams for the election. They say they're focused on preventing fraud http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBAMA_LAWYERING_UP?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-06-26-12-58-13

A former U.S. president is accusing the current president of sanctioning the "widespread abuse of human rights" by authorizing drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists.
Jimmy Carter, America's 39 th president, denounced the Obama administration for "clearly violating" 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, writing in a New York Times op-ed on Monday that the "United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights." http://news.yahoo.com/jimmy-carter-accuses-u-widespread-abuse-human-rights-154057442--abc-news-politics.html

Border Patrol agents must abandon their vehicles to chase illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and potential terrorists who illegally cross into the United States and onto federal lands that are designated as environmentally sensitive areas.
Legislation passed by the House last week to slash environmental red tape would allow law enforcement to “do the job they are paid to do,” said Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), who authored the language.
The measure was part of a package of conservation and jobs legislation that passed the House 232 to 188 on a mostly party-line vote. http://www.humanevents.com/2012/06/26/law-allowing-border-patrol-job-moves-house/

National Security Adviser Tom Donilon collected more than $148,000 in pension payments from bailed out mortgage giant Fannie Mae in 2011, on top of his White House salary of $172,200, according to a Free Beacon analysis of White House personal financial disclosure forms.--  http://freebeacon.com/donilon-double-dips/
