Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., in an effort to mock Republican donors, resorted to senility jokes in an interview published yesterday.  “Because of the Citizens United decision, Karl Rove and the Republicans are looking forward to a breakfast the day after the election,” Reid told The Huffington Post. “They are going to assemble 17 angry old white men for breakfast, some of them will slobber in their food, some will have scrambled eggs, some will have oatmeal, their teeth are gone. But these 17 angry old white men will say, ‘Hey, we just bought America. Wasn’t so bad. We still have a whole lot of money left.’” [Those Democrats are such a classy group, eh?] http://washingtonexaminer.com/harry-reid-drooling-old-men-are-trying-to-buy-election/article/2503720?custom_click=rss

General Motors plans to shell out as much as $600 million to sponsor a European soccer team despite owing $27 billion to American taxpayers.
GM’s Chevrolet logo will appear front and center on the jerseys of soccer powerhouse Manchester United, as part of one of the largest sponsorship deals in U.S. history. GM will pay $60 million per year for the logo—nearly double the $31 million European insurance company Aon paid—despite plummeting sales and massive liabilities.
The U.S. Treasury owns 26.5 percent of the stock of the Detroit-based automaker, which has been reeling from a dwindling European car market. Stock price is down. http://freebeacon.com/government-motors-spends-600m-on-uk-soccer-promo/

Minnesota Sheriff Reports to Congress on Growing Somalia Gang Threat in Hennepin County" (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr)

Yes, of course the Somalia Muslim gangs are growing, along with the threat they present. The Obama administration is importing whole Muslim communities from Islamic countries like Somalia. Their refugee status is determined by the UN. The "diversity" immigration numbers are doubling, tripling in some months.

What if the president of Chick-Fil-A were a Muslim instead of a practicing Christian? What if instead of Dan Cathy his name was Dan Shahar or Adil Bashir? I think I know the answer to the question of my hypothetical but for the sake of having to write more than a paragraph let’s dive deeper into this double standard in which the media, the left, and the gay community excuse and outright ignore the legit hatred and documented violence against homosexuals whereas peaceful expressions of disagreeing views from Christians are treated on the same level. You would think Mr. Cathy held a public stoning of a homosexual or tortured a same sex married couple; but of course we’re not in Iran or Saudi Arabia. 

It’s funny because everything the left and the media accuses Christians of being: anti-women, homophobic, angry, violent, bigoted, anti-gay, those accusations have actually been proven as fact when you talk about the Muslim world in general. Name me one nation whose population is predominantly Christian that has as one of its laws the denial of women to drive cars. Name me one majority Christian or Jewish nation that restricts women from owning property when their husbands die. Name me one majority Christian or Jewish nation that not only jails homosexuals but tortures them, not to mention stones women in public if they commit adultery. In Saudi Arabia I believe a woman was sentenced to death for criticizing Islam. http://www.redstate.com/tomjeffersonsghost/2012/08/02/what-if-chick-fil-a-were-owned-by-a-muslim-man/

 One of the more messianic moments of the 2008 presidential campaign came when Michele Obama promised that her husband would heal us all.

Only Barack Obama could help us all "fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation."
Four years later, it has become more apparent than ever that it is President Obama with a broken soul. His presidency collapsing around him, the true colors of the man have come to light. What we see now is not pretty.
The other day Mr. Reid said about Romney that "His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son."
No amount of context washes away the stain of these vile comments. This is what the Democratic Party of today has become. This is Barack Obama's America.  Is the left so far gone that anonymous innuendo should be allowed to destroy another human being? Where is Mr. Reid's humanity? Where is President Obama's courage?

Scores of House Democrats called on the Obama administration this week to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) couples when considering deportations.
Behind Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the lawmakers want the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to state explicitly that LGBT "family ties" will be deemed "a positive factor" discouraging deportation as DHS agents gauge whether to pursue cases.

"Without specific, written guidance, there remains the very real risk agency officers, agents, and attorneys making decisions about individual cases would overlook LGBT family ties, particularly the ties of immigrants to their U.S. citizen same-sex partners or spouses, and thereby, decline to exercise prosecutorial discretion," Pelosi, Nadler and 82 other Democrats wrote in a July 31 letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. http://thehill.com/homenews/house/241721-pelosi-dems-push-dhs-for-clarity-on-lgbt-deportations

Criminal justice data shows that blacks and poor people are the most common victims of voter fraud and are the greatest beneficiaries of voter identification rules, according to a new study.
The courtroom evidence “completely contradicts the [progressive claim] that blacks, seniors, college students and other disadvantages groups are being victimized,” said Horace Cooper, an adjunct fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research.
“The truth is … [that] the criminals — more often than not — are Democrats violating the rights of people who tend to be black or senior,” he told The Daily Caller.

Jon Stewart ridiculed Senate Majority leader Harry Reid last night for accusing Mitt Romney of not paying any taxes for 10 years.
“Here’s a rule of thumb, if you have to follow you claim with the words, ‘I don’t know if this is true’ then shut up.” Stewart said, comparing Reid to Donald Trump.
Stewart then launched a segment called “You Harry Reid are Really Really Terrible” and proceeded to ridicule Reid.
“You’re the Senate Majority Leader, you can’t just run to the side-boob gazette with ridiculous speculations,” Stewart said, jokingly referring to the Huffington Post. [There is no evidence that Mitt Romney has not paid taxes in ten years, but the seriousness of the charges required Senator Harry Reid to announce his unfounded suspicions.  He is trying to get Romney to break tradition by showing all his tax returns at the same time that President Obama continues to hide ALL his records, of health, college, passports, the real long form birth certificate and his questionable social security number.] http://washingtonexaminer.com/jon-stewart-tells-harry-reid-to-shut-up-after-bullsht-shot-on-mitt-romney/article/2503817

Mitt Romney lashed back at Harry Reid on Thursday in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, saying the Senate majority leader needs to "put up or shut up" after airing allegations about Romney's taxes.
Reid, a Nevada Democrat, first raised eyebrows Tuesday by saying in a news interview that someone had told him Romney went 10 years without paying taxes. He would only identify his source as an investor in Romney's former venture capital firm, Bain Capital, and he acknowledged, "I'm not certain" it's true.
"The word's out that he hasn't paid any taxes for 10 years," Reid said. "Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn't."
But Romney forcefully denied Reid's allegations on Hannity's radio show Thursday.
"Harry’s going to have to describe who it is he spoke with, because, of course, that is totally and completely wrong," Romney said. "It’s untrue, dishonest and inaccurate. It’s wrong.

Morale among Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents is at an all-time low more than a month after the Obama administration announced major changes to the nation’s immigration enforcement policy, according to the head of a national agency representing thousands of agents.
“Morale is in the toilet right now,” said Chris Crane, president of the National ICE Council. “Most of the guys out in the field are just in an uproar.” 
“They’ve got their heads down,” Crane said, referring to ICE agents. “We feel like the administration is against us and not the people who are violating our laws.” http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/ice-agents-morale-is-in-the-toilet.html

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has summoned top Iranian military chiefs for what he called "their last war council". He told them, "We'll be at war within weeks", suggesting sometime in September or October.

This follows on the heels of another media-ignored story that Obama has been telling the Israelis and Saudis that the U.S. will attack Iran in October.  Does Obama really mean this, or is he lying to them in order to forestall an attack initiated by them?-http://debka.com is reporting that high-level Saudi sources are telling visiting officials that Obama has decided that if nothing changes between now and October the U.S. will attack Iran's nuclear facilities.

One thing we know for sure is that Obama will do anything to improve his re-election chances, and nothing works better than starting a war right before an election to get Americans on your side.  And by doing it in October, right before the election, Obama will avoid any negative blowback if things turn chaotic in the attack's aftermath. http://www.freedomtorch.com/forums/topic/6118/october-surprise-attack-on-ira

According to an analysis by the National Federation of Independent Business, more than 4,000 federal regulations are scheduled to be implemented over the next four years with a cost of more than $515 billion to the U.S. economy. In our world of trillion dollar deficits, anything in the billions may not sound like such a big deal anymore, but recent regulations have already added $140 billion, sending the total annual regulatory cost to $1.75 trillion. If no action is taken to stop this, the NFIB estimates that the regulatory costs will quadruple over the next four years.
So what in the world are all these new regulations? Well, most of them have to do with protecting the environment and the air we breathe. Unfortunately, the sheer cost of the regulations may produce a severe economic downturn, rather than any valuable environmental impact. http://www.redstate.com/clarkbarrow/2012/08/02/regulation-tidal-wave/
