Reid: Gun-control ‘Will Pass’ 
Speaking today on the six month anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reiterated the “need” for Congress to strengthen federal gun-control. “The writing is on the wall,” said Reid. “Background checks will pass, the only question is when.”

Patriot Act author says NSA surveillance ‘an abuse’ of the law 
Obama and his Administration defended the National Security Agency’s widespread snooping on many millions of Americans saying that the Agency’s actions were justified under certain provisions of the Patriot Act. However, the GOP lawmaker who authored the 2001 law claims that the Obama Administration’s excusing of the massive data sweep is “a bunch of bunk.”

GOP House has chance to prevent 'a perpetual tyranny'
ALAN KEYES — Every day, we see another headline focused on this or that figure associated with the GOP wing of the elitist faction who is supposedly demanding the truth on the multiplying "scandals" of Obama's occupation of the White House... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — The NSA leaker is being protected by China and has a home waiting in Russia. Yet, conservative media personalities such as Glenn Beck are saying that he is a hero. They seem to think that the NSA's terrorist surveillance program has been used by Obama to go after conservatives, in the same way we have seen in the IRS scandal. There is no evidence this is the case.... (more)

FRED HUTCHISON, RA ANALYST — Frances Schaefer once said, "There are not many men in the house." What he meant was there are not many worldviews, and most worldviews are ancient. The youngest worldview I am aware of is two hundred and fifty years old. Half of the extant worldviews were in existence by 400 B.C. There are hundreds of philosophies, but most of them can be categorized under the heading of perhaps eight to ten worldviews... (more)

PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY — It has become evident that Barack Obama's definition of "fundamentally transforming the United States" includes Big Brother harassing selected conservatives while monitoring everybody's email and telephone traffic. These seem to be among the surprising duties of the Internal Revenue Service and the National Security Agency, respectively... (more)

SAY 'NO' TO OBAMA - HE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR CONSERVATIVES!

Dear Conservatives,

President Obama claims you support the Homosexual Agenda.

He and his ultra-liberal media allies brag that you're demanding special job preferences for homosexuals and teaching so-called "alternative" lifestyles in school.

Is it true?  What do you say?

That is why I've prepared a nation-wide American Morality Survey.

With the liberal media's poll results in hand, the Homosexual Lobby insists YOU actually support them.

And with Harry Reid's Senate and Obama's White House under their thumb, the Homosexual Lobby says NOW is the time to push their perverse lifestyle on every man, woman and child in America.

To make matters worse, more and more Republicans in Congress are coming out in favor of the Homosexual Agenda.

That's how the Homosexual Lobby rammed through the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Nancy Pelosi Calls Late-Term Abortions “Sacred Ground”House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi put her foot in her mouth again today during a press conference, calling the battle to keep late-term abortions legal sacred ground.
“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this,” Pelosi said about efforts to stop late-term abortions. “This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/13/nancy-pelosi-calls-late-term-abortions-sacred-ground/
Abortion Doctor Compares Killing 27-Week-Old Baby to Flu ShotA new undercover video shows a New Mexico-based abortion practitioner telling a woman considering an abortion that killing a 27-week old baby is no different than getting a flu shot.
The pro-life group Live Action has released the latest in a series of videos exposing late-term abortion practitioners showing no compassion over killing babies late in pregnancy. In this new video, Dr. Carmen Landau, of Southwest Women’s Options in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a counselor employed at the same facility, are shown making shocking statements. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/13/abortion-doctor-compares-killing-24-week-old-baby-to-flu-shot/

OUR 'LIAR IN CHIEF' CONTINUES TO LIE ABOUT STUDENT LOANS!

 
Boehner: Evidence Mounting that Obama Administration Has Strategy to Let Student Loan Rates Rise
 

WASHINGTON, DC – At his weekly press briefing today, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said he now believes President Obama and his Democratic allies in Washington have decided to deliberately allow student loan rates to double on July 1, rather than work with Republicans to enact a fix, in an effort to create a distraction from their party’s current troubles.  Boehner expressed dismay that the president appears to have resorted to picking a fake fight with Republicans to distract from divisions that are preventing a solution on student loans from advancing in the Senate.  House Republicans have already passed a bill – mirroring a plan proposed in the president’s own budget – that prevents rates from doubling, and provides more certainty for students and families, but Senate Democrats have refused to send it to the president’s desk.  Following are Speaker Boehner’s remarks:

20 Basic Truths You Can’t Talk About in America Anymore 

By John Hawkins

1) People who want to change sexes should be treated by a psychologist, not deformed through surgery, given hormone treatments, and falsely told that they can change sexes.
2) Most people who remain poor over the long haul in America stay that way because of their own poor life choices.
 
3) Most black Americans are good and decent people, but percentage wise there are more black Americans in jail because percentage wise, black Americans commit a lot more crimes than white Americans.
 
4) As often as not in America, the people claiming to be “victims” are the real bullies and they don’t deserve anyone’s sympathy.

PETITION - SENATE MUST VOTE AGAINST SB 744 - THIS BILL IS DESTRUCTIVE TO THE U.S.A.

Urgent Action Alert:

Dear Conservatives,

The long-awaited immigration “reform” bill will make its way to the Senate floor for a full vote before the July 4th holiday, says one Capitol Hill insider. Yesterday, the chamber voted 84-15 in favor of the "motion to proceed" to S. 744: the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act."

This thinly veiled amnesty plan has remained in a legislative “shadow” due to the ongoing scandals and investigations in Washington, D.C. While these smokescreens may be dominating the current news cycle, a contact inside Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office insists that now is definitely the time for grassroots Americans to "make noise" about the immigration bill:
 
“I know it is hard to get people engaged, but it should happen soon," Grassfire was told. "[There’s] not much time! The grassroots need to have their voices heard!”

+ + McConnell: “The Bill Has Serious Flaws”

WE HAVE NO, NOT ONE, HONEST LEADER! WONDER WHY AMERICA IS FAILING?

Submitted by: Donald Hank



What drove Edward Snowden to go on-the-record with allegedly-classified information about the scope and breadth of what is quite-clearly illegal spying on US Citizens?
Is it really that hard to figure out?  It was his boss, James Clapper, who quite-clearly perjured himself by blatantly lying in an open session of Congress:
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is really struggling to explain why he told Congress in March (see video above) that the National Security Agency does not intentionally collect any kind of data on millions of Americans. His latest take: It’s an unfair question, he said, like “When are you going to stop beating your wife?” And it seems to depend on the meaning of “collect.”
“I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful, manner by saying ‘no,’” Clapper told NBC News on Sunday.

Clapper lied.  He could have (truthfully) refused to answer, stating that “for national security reasons this question can only be answered in a classified, closed session” or similar — but he did not.

"I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT,:" OBAMA'S LACKEY(ies) REPEAT!

The Administration: Scarier Than You Could Imagine  - Posted byLloyd Marcus

If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound? If the Obama Administration breaks the law at will, lies to the American people, uses every government agency at it's disposal to punish it's conservative/Republican enemies and no one does anything about it, does it make a sound? Yes it does resulting in devastating consequences for the American people.
Despite a trifecta of scandals, Obama and company continue to stonewall, lie or refuse to answer questions; in essence, giving Congress and the American people the finger. Pundits are shocked and taken-aback by the unprecedented arrogance of the Obama Administration.
Such pundits are a bit late coming to the dance as we in the Tea Party have been well aware of the lawlessness and arrogance of this bunch of thugs from Chicago for years. Have these surprised pundits forgotten Obama's unprecedented overreaches into the private sector – nationalizing General Motors; bullying banks; ignoring the ruling of federaljudges, trashing the Constitution and more?

ASSEMBLYWOMAN MICHELE FIORE NEWSLETTER 06/13/2013

Friends,

I'm so thankful that Governor Sandoval has listened to the thousands of Nevadans who have contacted his office urging him to oppose SB221. Less than an hour ago Governor Sandoval vetoed this bill.

Senate Bill 221 hits home for me. Not only would this gun control legislation negatively impact law-abiding Nevadans from one end of the state to the other, I am appalled to hear about the hundreds of thousands of dollars the New York based, Mayor Bloomberg funded Mayors Against Illegal Guns spent in Nevada to buy this vote. Even more, they flooded our Legislators and Governor with calls from people who live across the country, claiming to speak for Nevadans.

But Nevadans pushed back. The Governor's office is reporting thousands of calls urging him to veto SB221, and for every call in support, there were four calls opposed. This is what we call public outcry.

Comment: My only comment in response to rube the rino's responses to the chameleon hannity yesterday: LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR.
Also: What a LYING BSer...Can't stand the phony.   (No link...barf)

Hey, RUSH....We heard the pro-Rubio Amnesty Bill Ad on yesterday's show.  And then,  you came on speaking against amnesty. Don't you have a clue what spots are being run on your show, NY Metro? Yes, the copy was a little softer, but still had all those outrageous lies.  Wake up.
   Btw, the  same ad is running on the chameleon hannity's show.  The arrogant preposterousness of the ad is mind-boggling, saying whatever it can to have people call DC for "immigration Reform" as falsely presented in the ad....after which The Gang of Eight pulls a bait and switch, passing what it wants as a "reform" bill.

Question: For those of who are smoking hot for impeachment, we have a question: Please tell us what you think "impeachment" is.  Do you think impeachment=conviction? Do you think impeachment=null and void of everything done? Do you think that when Pres. Clinton was "impeached", he was also convicted?  Thx.

Morning Briefing
For June 13, 2013



1.  No More Games
So many conservatives have been dancing around the issue of Senator Marco Rubio’s collaboration with Chuck Schumer to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

We have blamed his staff. We have blamed Democrats. We all like and respect the Senator, even if we disagree on this issue. We do not want to blame him for the mess the GOP now finds itself in holding a legislative tiger by the tail.

But having, by virtue of my radio show, listened over and over to those awful pro-immigration reform ads between my monologues, I think we need to stop playing games.
