Obama
Risks Death Penalty for Federal Law Violation
ResistNet.com
Few people are legal scholars. I am certainly not one, but I can read and think. Perhaps that makes me unique in today's society. Regardless of that, Mr. Obama has decided to not only ignore the Federal Law regarding criminal alien immigration into this Nation, but his continual public statements attesting to that fact and his plan for Amnesty have placed him in violation of the United States Code. That is Federal Law.

Liberal
Media Conspired To Save Obama and Smear Critics as
Racists
HotAir.com
There is a shocking report today from the Daily Caller exposing a
vast left-wing media conspiracy to save Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign by shutting
down reporting on Jeremiah Wright. “What is necessary is to raise the cost on
the right of going after the left. …let the right know that it needs to live in
a state of constant fear. …take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares
— and call them racists.” This goes way beyond charges of media bias. This
involves a cabal of journalists from multiple news organizations conspiring to
control the news and plotting to impugn the reputations of other journalists all
in an effort to aid a candidate for president of the United States. And it
reflects a well-documented pattern. Original

official says White House forced her out as NAACP
backtracks
The Daily Caller
A Department of Agriculture official who was forced to resign Monday over racially tinged comments accused the White House of pushing her out before they had fully understood her comments or even seen them in their full context, as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People withdrew their condemnation of the woman and called on the administration to reconsider her firing.

Journalists’ Panties In A Twist Over Fox News

“Liberal journalists suggest government shut down Fox News” is definitely an eye catching Daily Caller headline, but it does not accurately describe the mindset shown in the leaked excerpts from Journolist, the 400 member listserv created by Erza Klein. It does not show a grand liberal conspiracy to shut Fox News down, as it was simply suggested by one email, but it does show that Fox News has progressive journalists’ panties in a twisted bunch.

White
House backed release of Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi
TheAustralian.com
Correspondence obtained by The Sunday Times reveals the Obama administration considered compassionate release more palatable than locking up Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in a Libyan prison.The intervention, which has angered US relatives of those who died in the attack, was made by Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US embassy in London, a week before Megrahi was freed in August last year on grounds that he had terminal cancer. Despite the controversy over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and Megrahi's release, it emerged over the weekend that BP is planning deep-water drilling off Libya.

war logs: Massive leak of secret files exposes truth of
occupation

A huge cache of secret US military files today provides a devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents, Taliban attacks have soared and Nato commanders fear neighbouring Pakistan and Iran are fuelling the insurgency. In light of this article, and the documents it refers to, let's keep in mind that this is a very confusing war in which the enemy wears civilian clothes and hides within civilian populations. And let's not forget that this is a war. People do get killed in wars. And members of the Taliban and al Qaeda are civilians and are often reported as "civilian deaths."

The Morning Sentinel, a small paper from the state of Maine, has a travelogue story of the Obama’s vacation in and about Maine today. It has a very interesting little tidbit in it that should enrage every American. It is something that really shows Barack Obama’s arrogance and his obviously assumed air of noblesse oblige. Among the exciting details of the Obama’s visit to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor is this tidbit: Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.… Meanwhile, BO's other dog, Michelle, has reserved about 30 rooms for herself and her daughter, their friends and bodyguards at a five-star hotel in Benahavis near Marbella, Spain for a vacation away from Barack. And all of this paid for with your money.

Democrats have found yet another way to circumvent the U.S. Constitution: Bypass the Electoral College and elect a president by popular vote without first passing an amendment to the founding document. The Massachusetts Senate has joined five other states in passing a National Popular Vote bill to do just that. Under the proposed law, all 12 of the state's electoral votes would be awarded to the candidate who receives the most votes nationally.

The
Tax Tsunami On The Horizon
Investors.com
Many voters are looking forward to 2011, hoping a new Congress will put the country back on the right track. But unless something's done soon, the new year will also come with a raft of tax hikes — including a return of the death tax — that will be real killers. Through the end of this year, the federal estate tax rate is zero — thanks to the package of broad-based tax cuts that President Bush pushed through to get the economy going earlier in the decade. But as of midnight Dec. 31, the death tax returns — at a rate of 55% on estates of $1 million or more.

Little Known Tax
Hidden In The Healthcare Bill
ABC News
Starting Jan. 1, 2012, Form 1099s will become a means of reporting to the Internal Revenue Service the purchases of all goods and services by small businesses and self-employed people that exceed $600 during a calendar year. Precious metals such as coins and bullion fall into this category and coin dealers have been among those most rankled by the change. This provision, intended to mine what the IRS deems a vast reservoir of uncollected income tax, was included in the health care legislation ostensibly as a way to pay for it. The tax code tweak is expected to raise $17 billion over the next 10 years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. But no need to worry. Obama promised no tax hikes on the middle class, right?

what 'Obama money' is doing for you – in Kenya!

The Obama administration has secretly spent $23 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars in Kenya to fund a "Yes" vote on a constitutional referendum that would increase access to abortions in Kenya and establish legal status for Islamic law tribunals. Meanwhile, trusted sources in Kenya tell WND that the White House has used Vice President Joseph Biden's trip to Kenya in June to put out the message that passage of the referendum would enable the White House to open the floodgates to allow millions of dollars of additional U.S. government aid and private investment capital to flow into Kenya.

BP's Deepwater Oil
Spill Has Been Capped
The Oil Drum
The picture that everyone has long been waiting to see became available after 3:25 pm (Eastern) yesterday afternoon, when BP closed the choke lines on the 3-ram stack, and oil stopped flowing into the Gulf. One of the changes to the plan from that originally conceived was to add four ROVs that would be stationed around the well to alleviate the fears of those who had become worried by the continuing plethora of stories of a breached well casing. Although many of these stories have been discussed, and their invalidity shown, nevertheless in order to keep everyone happy (particularly those with political prominence), four ROVs were set around the well to watch the seabed and ensure there were no leaks. Pressure in the wellhead is at 6700 lbs. and rising. It should reach 10,000 lbs. to confirm no leaks exist.

Obama Ban
Kneecaps Gulf Coast Economy
Human Events
BP is currently the only oil company conducting operations in the Gulf. By the time this is over, BP will be the only oil company working in American waters in the Gulf. Was this BP's reward for their generous campaign contributions and cooperation with the Obama administration's disaster in the Gulf? Friday one of the largest drilling companies in the world announced movement of its deepwater drilling rig Ocean Endeavor from the Gulf of Mexico to Egypt. Despite the 5th Circuit Court’s refusal to reinstate the deepwater drilling ban last week, Obama’s vow to pursue the ban through appeals or reinstate the ban in defiance of the court keeps companies and workers sitting idle. It makes no sense to continue drilling when Obama may outlaw the operations at any time. With or without approval of the court, Obama is forcing all drilling rigs out of the Gulf of Mexico, except BP. Racing a car down the freeway without brakes is an accident waiting to happen. Is that what Obama and BP did? Is Cap & Trade and Green Energy what this oil spill, 11 deaths, and the loss of a half billion dollar rig was all about? We will soon find out. Appeals Court Rejects U.S. Bid to Keep Drilling Moratorium

If at first you don't succeed, try again, and again, and again. By then there won't be anything left to ban. The Obama administration is issuing a new moratorium on deep-water offshore drilling and it's no longer based on water depth. The Obama administration issued a new moratorium Monday on deep-water offshore drilling that is no longer based on water depth and stresses new evidence of safety problems, hoping the revised ban will pass muster with the courts after the initial one was rejected. The new moratorium was panned by [anti]industry groups and environmentalists. First rig sails away over drilling ban: Lawmakers and experts fear loss is only the start of offshore exodus.

from Oil Spill

More secrecy from this transparent administration. If the public knew what was really going on in this regime, Democrats would be out of power for at least a generation. Not that Republicans are much better but at least their God isn't Saul Alinsky. Last week, CNN’s Anderson Cooper reported that the federal government was blocking media access to coastal areas around the Gulf, preventing them from taking photos and reporting on the environmental damage of the oil spill. You can watch the video and see Cooper is livid that the Obama administration is treating him and his colleagues this way.

Mommy,
Are We Beyond Petroleum Yet
OpenMarket.org
A Navy F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet became the first aircraft to “demonstrate the performance of a 50-50 blend of camelina-based biojet fuel and traditional petroleum-based jet fuel at supersonic speeds.” Navy Secy. Ray Mabus crowed that the biofueled fighter demonstrates “the Navy’s commitment to reducing dependence on foreign oil as well as safeguarding our environment” and to being “an early adopter of alternative energy sources.” Secy. Mabus neglected to mention that camelina-based fuel costs $65 a gallon – about 30 times more than commercial jet fuel. If we really want to end dependence on foreign oil, then why do we just use our own nearly inexhaustible supply of oil still waiting in the ground to be pumped out? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. That wouldn't benefit the dictator's green cronies.

Finance Bill Passes, GOP Calls for Repeal
FoxNews.com
Congress on Thursday passed the stiffest restrictions on banks and Wall Street since the Great Depression, clamping down on lending practices and expanding consumer protections to prevent a repeat of the 2008 meltdown that knocked the economy to its knees. Republicans said the bill is a vast federal overreach that will drive financial-sector jobs overseas. Before the final vote was even cast, House Republican leader John Boehner called for its repeal. The Dodd-Frank law will create a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau empowered to write and enforce regulations covering mortgages, credit cards and other financial products. Republican opponents also criticized the bill for not addressing mortgage financing giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose questionable lending helped start a collapse in the housing market. The bill also establishes quotas for minority lending. Isn't that a part of what caused the mortgage meltdown in the first place?

However, the governors of Arizona and Texas will not attend the rescheduled meeting. The governors of six Mexican states are expected to attend, he said Thursday.

Background: Justice Department Files Suit Against Arizona Immigration Law The regime adds that if this lawsuit fails muster, they are already planning a second lawsuit. The dictator will not take "no" for an answer. Not with Arizona, not with the Gulf, and not from the American people.

The
Federal Tax Funds Act - Nullification
The Tenth Amendment Center
In the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison warned us that if the federal government were to have the exclusive right to judge the extent of its own powers, its power would continue to grow – regardless of elections, the separation of powers, and other much-touted limits on power. The principle behind these resolutions, that the power of federal government must be checked by state governments, has gained resurgence in recent years, and is growing more every day. The principle behind such legislation is nullification.

Senate-seeker
wants Obama birth-certificate treatment
WorldNetDaily
It worked for Obama, why wouldn't it work for me? A Mexican-born candidate for U.S. Senate said he is considering a lawsuit against the Missouri secretary of state for discrimination because her office forced him to produce a birth certificate but "didn't make Obama show proof of citizenship" to appear on the ballot. Maldonado, a U.S. Army combat veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, explains on his website that he became a U.S. citizen in 1995. But he said Secretary of State Robin Carnahan sent him a letter in May asking him to produce documentation. "It said, 'Hey, you have to prove you're a citizen.' I ignored it," he said. "You know, Obama ignored it, so I figured I could get away with it, too."

Here's the goon who wants to kill "crackers" and their babies, but isn't being prosecuted for voter intimidation in Philly. It seems black radicals like King Samir Shabazz have become the protected class by the Obama regime. When Attorney General Eric Holder suddenly reversed course and had the DoJ dismiss the voter-intimidation case against two New Black Panther Party activists stemming from an incident in 2008 in Philadelphia, many questioned why the DoJ would quit a case it had already won. Attorneys within the DoJ wondered why the federal government had suddenly become disinterested in voter intimidation.

Here's the goon who wants to kill "crackers" and their babies, but isn't being prosecuted for voter intimidation in Philly. It seems black radicals like King Samir Shabazz have become the protected class by the Obama regime. When Attorney General Eric Holder suddenly reversed course and had the DoJ dismiss the voter-intimidation case against two New Black Panther Party activists stemming from an incident in 2008 in Philadelphia, many questioned why the DoJ would quit a case it had already won. Attorneys within the DoJ wondered why the federal government had suddenly become disinterested in voter intimidation.

Who
Will Investigate the Investigators?
Another voter fraud scandal involving the Justice Department.
Wall Street Journal
As if dropping charges of voter intimidation against the New Black Panther Party wasn't enough, Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes said she would not support any enforcement of a key section of the federal "Motor Voter" law -- Section 8, which requires states to periodically purge their voter rolls of dead people, felons, illegal voters and those who have moved out of state. "We want to increase access to the ballot, not limit it." More from WND: Investigation of 'antiwhite bias' grows

Affairs head blasts administration over hospital
incident
The Hill
Here's a good reason to keep gays out of the military: The Democratic chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee lambasted the Obama administration over its handling of an incident at a St. Louis VA center in which more than 1,800 veterans were told they may have been exposed to HIV. The Department of Veterans Affairs last month sent a letter to 1,812 patients informing them that they could have been exposed to HIV and other deadly viruses because of dental equipment that was insufficiently sterilized over a period of 13 months.

Early Tests Pin Toyota Accidents on Drivers
Wall Street Journal
Maybe the regime and its media shouldn't have been so quick to demonize Toyota. A selection of Department of Transportation data taken from investigated Toyota vehicles reportedly show driver error caused the vehicle's sudden acceleration and eventual crash. The data, compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and not Toyota, show that some drivers who reported sudden out-of-control acceleration mistakenly floored the accelerator when they intended to hit the breaks, the Journal said.

Russian Spies Deported After N.Y. Guilty Pleas
Associated Press
Ten Russian agents who infiltrated suburban America and acted as spies for Moscow were deported Thursday. The spies left New York for Moscow hours after pleading guilty to conspiracy in a Manhattan courtroom and being sentenced to time served and ordered out of the country, said a law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak on the record. No one was. Why were these communist spies quickly whisked away and sent home with no imprisonment little or no interrogation or publicity? Why was the Obama regime so anxious to get them out of the country before they could talk to anyone? Something doesn't feel right here. Is this just part of a bigger story? I wonder.
