Manning guilty of
espionage
Excerpt: Former Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning
was found guilty Tuesday of five espionage accounts. The decision means Manning
could spend the rest of his life behind bars. The maximum sentence for the
charges would be 150 years. (I’m still in favor of shooting him. I
volunteer, will bring my own rifle and ammo to save money. ~Bob)
A Collapse is Coming: That Which is Unsustainable
Will Go Away: Medicare. By Charles H. Smith
Excerpt: Medicare is an example of an unsustainable system
that will go away in the decade ahead. Here are the sobering facts about the
number of workers and those drawing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
entitlements in the U.S.
While the government claims to have a "trust fund" to pay for Social
Security and Medicare, this is illusory propaganda. There are no funds set
aside to pay these entitlements--they are "pay as you go" programs
funded by current tax revenues. If the tax revenues don't cover the programs'
expenses, the Treasury sells bonds, i.e. issues debt to pay the entitlements.
The Tragedy of Isolation. By Thomas Sowell
Excerpt: In the 20th century, Western intellectuals' two
most dominant explanations of disparities in economic, educational and other
achievements were innate racial differences in ability (in the early decades)
and racial discrimination (in the later decades).
In neither era were the intelligentsia receptive to other
explanations. In each era, they were convinced that they had the answer -- and
dismissed and disparaged those who offered other answers.
5 Ways Liberalism Destroyed Detroit. By John Hawkins
Excerpt: How did Democrats kill one of the most prosperous
cities in America?
With the same sort of unfettered liberalism that Democrats like Barack Obama,
Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi want to foist on the rest of the nation.

The Greatest Food in
Human History: In terms of cost-per-calore, no locavore, organic veggie can
compete with the McDouble. By Kyle Smith
Excerpt: But we all know fast food makes us fat, right?
Not necessarily. People who eat out tend to eat less at home that day in
partial compensation; the net gain, according to a 2008 study out of Berkeley and
Northwestern, is only about 24 calories a day.
The Spooks of
Hazzard. By Jim Goad
http://takimag.com/article/the_spooks_of_hazzard_jim_goad/print#ixzz2aU6hjkDX
Excerpt: Do you know that the overwhelming majority of white Southerners—well over 90% of them—never owned slaves even at the peak of slavery? Do you know that the term “redneck” dates all the way back to Scotland in the 1640s, when it was used to describe peasants who rebelled against the ruling class? Do you know that its most plausible American derivation is from the 1800s when it was used to describe those impoverished whites who didn’t own slaves nor hire black sharecroppers and instead toiled in the fields and burned their pale necks red under the hot sun?

Excerpt: Rep. Ros-Lehtinen said for Obama, “who has sworn to
preserve, protect and defend their ideals that founded this nation, to equate
Ho Chi Minh to Thomas Jefferson is an insult to the service and sacrifice of
all of those who served in Vietnam.”
“Saying that a butcher who slaughtered his opponents and butchered those who
resisted his tyranny was inspired by the ideals that make this nation the
freest and most democratic country in the world belittles our Founding Fathers
and those shed blood to protect their vision,” she added. (Per article, Ho Chi
Minh “…then proceeded to commit atrocities against the people of Vietnam in
his quest for a Marxist state.” Perhaps where this is heading with the
ammunition buys, the FEMA camps, the spraying overhead multiple times daily,
and the training of Soviet troops “against civil unrest” on US soil…. You know,
“payback time.” –Barb)

Brotherhood Torture Chambers (Finally) Exposed. By Raymond Ibrahim
Excerpt: Islamic hard-liners stormed a mosque in suburban Cairo, turning it into
[a] torture chamber for Christians
who had been demonstrating against the ruling Muslim Brotherhood in the latest
case of violent persecution that experts fear will only get worse. Such stories
have become increasingly common as tensions between Egypt’s Muslims and Copts mount,
but in the latest case, mosque officials corroborated much of the account and
even filed a police report. (ah, the fruits of the Arab Spring and the Muslim
Brotherhood “moderates,” much beloved by the Obama administration and the
leftist media. ~Bob.)
Christian Man Tortured
In Front of Wife. By Theodore Shoebat
Excerpt: However, Shagufta told the police that they had
lost the cell phone a month earlier. She denied the charges but police started
3rd degree torture on Shafaqat Masih, who is crippled and physically
challenged. They tortured him in front of his wife and four children.
The News in Zingers.
By Argus Hamilton
Excerpt: President Obama spoke at Central Missouri
College Wednesday. His
staffers refused to allow College Republicans or anyone wearing patriotic
clothing into the building. Everyone not allowed inside was forced into a
boxcar and transported to IRS headquarters. (the way to sneak into an Obama
rally is to wear a tee shirt with a picture of a communist murderer—Che comes to
mind—and a “Death to America/Death to the Jews” button. ~Bob.)

Excerpt: Looking for a little extra cash? If you’re
interested in defrauding taxpayers, it might be as easy as writing down a
number on a form. The number is your income. The form is the Obamacare
application. If you do not have “affordable” employer-sponsored health insurance
and your income is between about $31,800 and $94,200
for a family of four (that is, between 138 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level), you qualify for an insurance subsidy
through Obamacare.
Obama rebuked for
Keystone claims
Excerpt: President Obama’s dismissal of the job benefits
from the Keystone XL pipeline drew a furious rebuke on Monday from
supporters of the project who accused him of ignoring his own State Department.
Sheila Jackson Lee
for Homeland Security secretary?
Older Piece: Congressional bosses from Hell: Sheila
Jackson Lee
Conservatives are screaming, but I kind of like the
Congressional Black Caucus suggestion that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas to be the next
Secretary of Homeland Security. She would bring a whole new level of
stupidity to the position and the Obama administration, and might collapse the
Homeland Security/TSA house of cards. ~Bob.
Florida state rep. says high school world
history textbook is a big Islam lovefest

http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/30/florida-state-rep-says-high-school-world-history-textbook-is-a-big-islam-lovefest/#ixzz2aXGFnfaj
Excerpt: Though Brevard County has
used the book for the last three years with no complaints, Workman is
complaining now. His argument, in a nutshell, is that the book’s authors prop
up Islam yet denigrate the other two major Abrahamic faiths. For instance, the
state lawmaker says, the textbook informs high schoolers that “people happily
accepted Islam as their way of life” in Medina. “It leaves out that tens of thousands
of Jews and non-believers were massacred by Mohammed’s armies,” Workman said.
Red
Eye Guest On Weiner’s Wife: ‘One Of The Greatest National

(Hillary) Clinton about the Muslim

WND reports on swat
raids on the innocent: Violence reflects growing militarization of local police
Excerpt: “The recent incidents in Oklahoma, where police
shot an unarmed mother holding her child in her home, in Virginia, where a SWAT
team killed a watchman guarding a dice game at an after-hours club and in
California, where a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms raid on a gun shop
resulted in the death of the shopkeeper, provide some hard evidence that police
in America may be getting out of control,” Farah said.

Excerpt: President Obama’s private lunch with Hillary Clinton on Monday afternoon suggested that she is taking another step toward launching a 2016 run for the White House….A photo of the lunch released by the White House shows the former rivals smiling with nary a hint of the animosity that marked the 2008 Democratic primary. White House aides pointed out that Obama extended the lunch invitation to Clinton. (Another Alinsky disciple. Benghazi? “What’s it matter?” No one in Dept of Injustice will pry. –Barb)

She thinks it’s funny to insult us. Jane Fonda wears a
"Hanoi Jane" T-shirt as part of promoting her movie where she plays
Nancy Reagan. She smiles and laughs about it, but she knows damn well she is
giving the finger back to all of us who despise what she did in going to Hanoi.
Not just sitting at the gun like she wanted to shoot down US planes, but the
long series of broadcasts she made to our troops, telling them the war they
were in was unjust and they shoot disobey officers, maybe shoot them. She has a
truly monumentally rotten attitude to wear that shirt as a symbol of her
disdain for all of us who hate her treasonous behavior. --Del
Excerpt: An investigator is unlikely to find what he refuses
to look for. Since May 10, the scandal has evolved from “a couple of rogue
employees in Cincinnati,”
to high IRS involvement, to going inside the IRS chief counsel’s office, at
least. In that same time, President Obama has gone from saying that the abuse
was “outrageous” and that no one wants to get to the bottom of it more than he
does, to being satisfied with a non-investigation of a “phony
scandal.” (When interviewed by Issa’s committee, so evident he had
appointed no one to investigate and had no intention to do so. He could not
name the person in charge, say when an investigation began or what they had
found. Smoke and stonewalling and contempt for law. –Barb)
Idiot Idea of the Day. By Jeff Carter
Excerpt: Instead of blaming big government, the author takes
the view that it was the fault of the way Illinois tax policy was designed. That’s the
real problem here. Not that there are a bunch of union workers on the public
dole, double and triple dipping along the way. Can you guess his solution? More
taxes.

WaPo Fact Checker: President Obama’s low-ball
estimate for Keystone XL jobs
Excerpt: But the president shouldn’t pick and choose how he
cites job-creation numbers. Perhaps he is tipping his hand on what he secretly
thinks of the Keystone XL by citing a low-ball figure, generated by the
pipeline’s opponents, but he should stick to using the official government
estimate. (His 2,000-job figure is actually slightly lower than the Cornell
estimate.) Otherwise, the president ironically seems to be signaling that even
his own government does not produce the “most realistic” estimate that should
be used by reporters. Two Pinocchios

Many disability
recipients admit they could work
Excerpt: Recipients of federal disability checks often admit
that they are capable of working but cannot or will not find a job, that those
closest to them tell them they should be working, and that working to get off
the disability rolls is not among their goals. More baffling, most have never
received significant medical treatment and not seen a doctor about their
condition in the last year, even though medical problems are the official
reason they don't work. (What’s baffling about that? The huge spike in
disability, despite modern medical interventions like joint replacement that
return people to productivity, is another big factor in the coming fiscal
collapse. ~Bob.)
McCain Honors
Cellmate George ‘Bud’ Day
Excerpt: “To have known him in prison, confronting our
enemies day in and day out, never, ever yielding, defying men who had the power
of life and death over us, to witness him sing the national anthem in response
to having a rifle pointed at his face, well that was something to behold.
Unforgettable. … Bud was the bravest man I ever knew.”
An Arm and a Leg: Hospitals
are to blame for obscene health-care costs. By Avik Roy
Costs 25 cents to read the full article. ~Bob. Excerpt: In
1994, two eminent Boston hospitals, Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s
Hospital, merged. Officials hailed it as a new era for integrated, high-quality
care. The state’s secretary of health and human services signed off on the
merger without a public hearing, with the blessing of Republican governor
William Weld. The merged hospital entity, called Partners HealthCare,
immediately went about raising rates for insurers.

Surprise: Chicago's Debt Triples,
City Slapped With Credit Downgrades
Excerpt: Moody's reference to "unrelenting public
safety demands" is in part a euphemism for Chicago's
appalling murder and violent crime crisis,
which manages to remain alarmingly acute despite the city's strict anti-gun
laws. Strange, that. Oh, did I say triple downgrade? I meant quadruple,
and this one genuinely hurts The Children: Chicago's public schools on Wednesday
forecast a record $1 billion fiscal 2014 budget deficit despite layoffs of
1,000 teachers and the expected closing of 50 schools, prompting one credit
agency to downgrade its debt rating.

Wrinkle in Health Law
Vexes Lawmakers’ Aides
Excerpt: As President Obama barnstorms the country promoting
his health care law,
one audience very close to home is growing increasingly anxious about the
financial implications of the new coverage: members of Congress and their
personal staffs. Under a wrinkle that dates back to enactment of the law,
members of Congress and thousands of their aides are required to get their
coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges. (That

Chicago Gun Confiscation Underway
Excerpt: A new Cook County Sheriff’s team is crisscrossing

Identification Cards have been revoked. More than 3,000 people in Cook County
have failed to surrender their revoked FOID cards to the state. Sheriff Tom
Dart said he thinks many of them continue to possess firearms… Every week, the
[Illinois] State Police alert the sheriff’s
gun team of about 10 to 20 new revocations in Cook County.
The investigators conduct a basic inquiry into the gun purchasing histories of
the people they intend to contact. Then they knock on their doors. (Sure, and I
have a really nice bridge for sale up in Brooklyn.
It's one hell of a bargain, honest. --Del)
Army Giving Up
Traditional Ammo & Stopping Power For "Green" Bullets
Excerpt: To quote liberals from the pranksters at SPNHeadlines.com "We
don't give a shit if you shoot people, but please do it without harming Mother
Earth." -- The Army is switching from lead bullets in many small caliber
arms to "environmentally friendly" rounds in 2014, even through
the lead bullets are tried and true while the stopping power of the "green" bullets
is already being questioned. (The 5.56mm are poor enough in stopping power, now
without the lead core they'll be even worse. Great, the environment will be
cleaner, except for the blood of our guys who pay the price for getting less
effective ammo issued to them. This is really, really INSANE! --Del)

Excerpt: A gang who laughed as they doused a woman in acid
while she walked her six-year-old twins home from school have been jailed for a
total of 44 years. The attackers were heard laughing as the noxious liquid was
sprayed at the screaming mother in front of her two boys outside Upton Cross Primary School in Upton Park, east London.
A
real-life diamond heist on the Riviera:
"Pink Panther" jailbreaks and a $136 million jewellery theft in Cannes are a case of life

Excerpt:
The latest estimate suggests that Sunday’s theft yielded a haul of $136 million
(£89 million). It took no more than a solitary thief, armed with a handgun, to
slip through a half-open window into the plush Carlton Intercontinental Hotel,
on the Croisette promenade of Cannes,
and help himself to diamonds and other gems.
Saudi
Prince: US Shale Threatening Our Economy. By Walter Russell Mead
http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2013/07/29/saudi-prince-us-shale-threatening-our-economy/
Excerpt:
There’s no denying that the Kingdom’s economy will suffer under decreased
demand for petrochemical exports from its biggest customer—the US. American
domestic production means a steep drop-off in demand for the $100 billion Gulf
petrochemical industry, and if China
masters the exploitation of its own shale reserves, the cracks in the Saudi
economic model will grow wider still. Unless the Saudis do some economic
rebalancing to cope with this sea change, they’re in for a rude awakening.
