Breitbart News hereby announces a $50,000 reward to whomever can
provide the complete video recording of the 2003 farewell party for
radical Palestinian academic and activist Rashid Khalidi, at which
then-state senator Barack Obama spoke--and which the Los Angeles Times has refused to release since reporting the event in April 2008.
Then-reporter Peter Wallsten (now with the
Wall Street Journal) noted
that the event was one of many signs that had encouraged
Palestinian-Americans to believe "that Obama is more receptive to their
viewpoint than he is willing to say." Wallsten explained:

Delegations from around the world failed on Friday to agree a landmark
U.N. arms-trade treaty to regulate the more than $60 billion industry,
opting for further talks and a possible U.N. General Assembly vote by
the end of the year, diplomats said. More than 170 countries have spent
the past month in New York negotiating a treaty, which needed to be
adopted by consensus, so any one country effectively could have vetoed a
deal. Instead, no decision was taken on a draft treaty. ...

A constitutional amendment requiring 25 percent of Michigan's
energy to come from renewable sources by 2025 would cost $10 billion to

Do We Want To Buy Canadian Oil From The Chinese? [Remember when the Republicans said that if we don't take part in the Keystone Pipeline, Canada will probably sell rights to China? They were right, and now Pelosi and Schumer are alarmed.]
But it may happen, thanks to the Obama
administration's indifference to developing energy resources anywhere on
the North American continent or building the Keystone XL pipeline
linking Alberta's oil-rich sands to refineries on the Gulf Coast.
Buoyed by White House inaction, China's state-owned oil company has
made a multibillion-dollar bid for a Canadian company with interests in
Canada's oil sands — North American oil for the lamps of China.

OK, here are some photos of the US team entering the Olympic Stadium. Michelle Obama inserted herself into the Olympics by leading the team TO the stadium. The article says how excited she is to be there, how full of joy and pride. Here is the photo of our condescending First Lady as she seems to be sneering, judging and looking enviously at our athletes.....It's the very same look she has consistently given when meeting with wives of other international leaders. She's probably mad that the team did not ask her to carry the flag into the stadium.

Obama said:
“And where there’s an extraordinarily heartbreaking tragedy like
the one we saw, there’s always an outcry immediately after for action,
and there’s talk of new reforms and there’s talk of new legislation.
And too often those efforts are defeated by politics and by lobbying and
eventually by the pull of our collective attention elsewhere. But when I
said in the wake of Tucson was we were going to stay on this
persistently. So we’ve been able to take some actions on our own,
recognizing that it’s not always easy to get things through congress
these days.”
“Do you hear what he just said? We’ve taken some actions on our own.
In other words, we’ve gone around the Constitution,” Glenn said.

President Obama’s latest clarification-inducing comment came Wednesday,
and it’s eyebrow-raising to say the least. Speaking on employment and
the economy, the silver-tongued president declared, “Just like we’ve
tried [the Republicans'] plan, we’ve tried our plan, and it worked.
That’s the difference.”

As Obama himself explained in a 2001 radio interview when he was a
senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School: “The Supreme
Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and
more basic issues of political and economic justice in the society and
to that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the
Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the
essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the
Constitution.”
The Roberts Court has now contrived to do what Obama faulted the Warren
Court for not doing. By creating a new and unlimited power to lay
punitive taxes on inactivity, Roberts has obliterated any meaningful
constitutional constraint on federal power. This was, of course,
expected of the Court’s four left-wing radicals, who likely share
Obama’s contempt for the Constitution’s “essential constraints.”
Roberts was supposed to know better.

Top 10 Obamacare taxes coming your way
If you have yet to make up your mind about the Affordable Care Act, this list might help you decide.
1. Individual mandate
Obamacare may have been upheld as constitutional by the Supreme
Court, but Chief Justice John Roberts’ extraordinary opinion clearly
labeled the law’s individual mandate a tax. Whether the power to enact a
penalty for failing to purchase a product derives from the Commerce
Clause or Congress’ taxing authority makes little difference. Every
American will have to purchase health insurance and those who don’t will
face an IRS-enforced tax that totals 2.5 percent of adjusted growth
income in 2016.
2. Employer mandate
At a time when America needs jobs more than anything else, along
comes Obamacare and its tax on businesses that don’t offer healthcare
benefits. Companies with more than 50 employees will have to pay a tax
of $3,000 per employee, a sure-fire way to keep companies from hiring
new workers. Perversely, this measure will also encourage some employers
to drop their health coverage and pay a fine that costs less. In both
cases, the measure works against many vulnerable Americans.

The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that in 2015 the
country will have 62,900 fewer doctors than needed. And that number will
more than double by 2025, as the expansion of insurance coverage and
the aging of baby boomers drive up demand for care. Even without the
health care law, the shortfall of doctors in 2025 would still exceed
100,000. -

Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), which has staged a bloody comeback in Iraq in recent months,
issued a threat this week to strike at the “heart” of America.
On Sunday, shortly before a string of
AQI attacks
killed more than 100 people, AQI leader Abu Bakr Baghdadi warned
Americans: “You will soon witness how attacks will resound in the heart
of your land, because our war with you has now started.”

Property values in the global community took a hit this month after
the United States twice declined invitations to surrender its
sovereignty to the United Nations.
The first bit of good news came when Senators Jim Inhofe (R-OK) and
Jim DeMint (R-SC) announced a 34-member coalition pledged in opposition
to the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty (L.O.S.T.). While more may join the
effort, there are now enough votes to prevent ratification and protect
the U.S. Navy and our oil and gas industries from answering to the
United Nations and the International Seabed Authority (I.S.A.).
L.O.S.T. is a deeply flawed document that would transfer power,
authority, resources and riches to employees at the U.N. whose
credentials barely rise to that of flea market management.

They
[the radical, intimidating left] might not be burning crosses on our lawns (yet), but some of their
targets have been intimidated at the polls (despite AG Holder's
unwillingness to prosecute). With their savior being threatened by the
real hope and change of Mitt Romney, they are like cornered animals, and
their behavior is erratic at best.
Ultimately,
they hope to intimidate us from voting for our favored candidates or
voting altogether. So now members of the "Party of Tolerance and
Diversity" are reduced to nothing more than the "Party of Intolerance,
Intimidation and Invective."
What
do we do about this? We don't let it intimidate us. We buy a dozen
bumper stickers and replace them as needed. We put up sign after sign,
even if we have to install a surveillance system. We stick up for each
other. We get out the vote, we march, we rally, we protest, we
assemble, and we continue to do it peacefully and with respect. And we
vote.
But most importantly, we call it what it is and throw away their made-up rules for what is and isn't politically correct.

The words “freedom of belief” do not appear in the First Amendment. Nor
do the words “freedom of worship.” Instead, the Bill of Rights
guarantees Americans something that its authors called “the free
exercise” of religion.
It’s a significant choice of words, because it suggests a recognition
that religious faith cannot be reduced to a purely private or individual
affair. Most religious communities conceive of themselves as peoples or
families, and the requirements of most faiths extend well beyond
attendance at a sabbath service — encompassing charity and activism,
education and missionary efforts, and other “exercises” that any
guarantee of religious freedom must protect. The defenders of the H.H.S. mandate note that it protects freedom of
worship, which indeed it does. But a genuine free exercise of religion,
not so much.

Obama administration minions may have violated U.S. law last month by welcoming an Egyptian with ties to
terrorism
to the White House in order to lobby for the release of an imprisoned
terrorist known as the Blind Sheik, claimed Rep. Pete King, current
chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, in a
statement on Thursday.
Hani Nour Eldin --
an avowed member of Gama’a al-Islamiyya listed by the State
Department as terror group -- was elected along with members of Islamist
groups the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists to Egypt’s parliament.
But, according to Rep. King, the U.S. investigators involved in his vetting either ignored Hani’s
Facebook page or didn’t check it at all. On Facebook he boasts of his membership in Gama’a al-Islamiyya.
U.S. immigration laws require that both Secretaries of State and
Homeland Security must authorize waivers before issuing visas to members
of designated
federal terrorist organizations, and they must notify the appropriate members of Congress.
Secretary Hillary Clinton (State) and Secretary
Janet Napolitano never
gave members of Congress the required information, King said during a
session of the House Committee on Homeland Security on Thursday.
Napolitano told King that Eldin was found to pose no security risk,
but she called King’s concerns about process “a fair point to make.”

The Department of Homeland Security has ordered masses of riot gear
equipment to prepare for potential significant domestic riots at the
Republican National Convention, Democratic National Convention and next
year’s presidential inauguration.
The DHS submitted a rushed solicitation to the Federal Business
Opportunities site on Wednesday, which is a portal for Federal
government procurement requisitions over $25,000. The request gave the
potential suppliers only one day to submit their proposals and a 15-day
delivery requirement to Alexandria, Virginia.
As the brief explains,
“the
objective of this effort is to procure riot gear to prepare for the
2012 Democratic and Republican National Conventions, the 2013
Presidential Inauguration and other future similar activities.” [This is what Obama's "fundamental change" has wrought - a new low for America.] http://rt.com/usa/news/dhs-unrest-gear-283/

Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the Supreme Court's most vocal and
conservative justices, said on Sunday that the Second Amendment leaves
room for U.S. legislatures to regulate guns, including menacing
hand-held weapons.
"It will have to be decided in future cases," Scalia said on
Fox News Sunday.
But there were legal precedents from the days of the Founding Fathers
that banned frightening weapons which a constitutional originalist like
himself must recognize. There were also "locational limitations" on
where weapons could be carried, the justice noted.
When asked if that kind of precedent would apply to assault weapons,
or 100-round ammunition magazines like those used in the recent Colorado
movie theater massacre, Scalia declined to speculate. "We'll see," he
said. '"It will have to be decided."
As an originalist scholar, Scalia looks to the text of the
Constitution—which confirms the right to bear arms—but also the context
of 18
th-century history. “They had some limitations on the nature of arms that could be borne," he told host Chris Wallace.

Democratic senators have offered an amendment to the cybersecurity
bill that would limit the purchase of high capacity gun magazines for
some consumers.
Shortly after the Cybersecurity Act gained Senate
approval to proceed to filing proposed amendments and a vote next week,
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a sponsor of the gun control amendment,
came to the floor to defend the idea of implementing some “reasonable”
gun control measures.
