Recent missteps preempt White House counter-programming effort

Science decodes 'internal voices'
Excerpt: Based on signals from listening patients, a computer model was used to reconstruct the sounds of words that patients were thinking of. The method may in future help comatose and locked-in patients communicate. Several approaches have in recent years suggested that scientists are closing in on methods to tap into our very thoughts; the current study achieved its result by implanting electrodes directly into a part of participants' brains. In a 2011 study, participants with electrodes in direct brain contact were able to move a cursor on a screen by simply thinking of vowel sounds. (If this is ever perfected, Big Brother will take the “Ultimate Stalker” title away from Santa Claus. Santa Claus? Yes. He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness’ sake.” Ron P.)
Excerpt: Have you ever read an article in which the writer compares the incomes of the top 1% to the bottom 99% over the last decade, say? Or the comparison might contrast the top 10% to the bottom 90%? The problem: the author is encouraging you to think that the people in the top 1% at the beginning of the decade are the same people who are in the top 1% at the end of the decade. But they aren’t. People move in and out of this category with surprising frequency. Yet if they aren’t the same people, what’s the point of the comparison? A similar thing happens in health care. I frequently see writers say that a small number of people spend most of the health care dollars. True. But the small number this year are not the same people as the small number last year, or the year before.
Contraceptive mandate could face tough sledding in Supreme Court
Excerpt: The healthcare law's mandate to require religious-affiliated employers to pay for contraception for their workers has prompted two lawsuits. If the matter gets to the Supreme Court, it will go before justices who recently affirmed — in a 9-0 ruling — that the 1st Amendment gives special leeway to religious employers.

Gaining Power in Parliament, Islamists Block a Cairo
When the Obama Administration and the Media swooned over the Arab Spring, you knew it was going to end badly for Women, Christians, Jews, Americans and Freedom. ~Bob. Excerpt: The Muslim Brotherhood flexed its muscles here on Tuesday as hundreds of its young members linked arms to block a protest march from reaching Parliament while its lawmakers inside dominated the selection of leaders for legislative committees. More than 70 people were injured as thousands of protesters jammed against the Brotherhood’s human wall, the Health Ministry said. Thirty people were hospitalized, the ministry said, 10 of them members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Who Is A “Natural Born Citizen”?
Excerpt: So I’m on the O’Reilly Factor and I say if the Republicans don’t put Marco Rubio on their national ticket they need to get their heads examined. Such is my regard for the freshman senator from Florida
First, They Came for the Catholics By Michelle Malkin
Excerpt: President Obama and his radical feminist enforcers have had it in for Catholic medical providers from the get-go. It's about time all people of faith fought back against this unprecedented encroachment on religious liberty. First, they came for the Catholics. Who's next?
53% Favor Fingerprinting Requirement For Food Stamp Applicants
Excerpt: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is aiming to end New York City’s policy of requiring food stamp applicants to be fingerprinted, a policy the city’s mayor, Michael Bloomberg, wants to keep in place. A new survey shows that a majority of Americans nationwide favor requiring food stamp applicants to be fingerprinted in order to be eligible. (This is a racist policy, because, like with IDs for voting, it’s harder for minorities to get fingers. ~Bob.)

Obama’s deadly new PR firm --Whatever happened to SEAL Team 6 being a ‘secret’ weapon?
Excerpt: The dramatic rescue of an American aid worker and her Danish colleague in Somalia by Navy commandos was a terrific encore to the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan
Excerpt: Barack Obama has gone from the “one we've been waiting for" to the one we can’t wait to kick out. No one ever thought one man could bring the nation to its knees, but here he is living in the White House. And on our knees we have been praying for the day that he leaves.
Worth Reading
Excerpt: When Elizabeth Warren went on MSNBC to deny that she was a member of the 1 percent despite her nearly 15 million dollar net worth, the denial had a cultural element to it. Despite being a millionaire, Warren New England strata that relentlessly fought against Southern Baptists and working class Catholic immigrants. Those roots define modern day liberals much more so than the Jacksonian populism that they occasionally try to imitate.
Obama's Enemies List: David and Charles Koch have been the targets of a campaign of vituperation and assault, choreographed from the very top.
Excerpt: How would you feel if aides to the president of the United States
US, UN Helped Colo.
Hard to tell the “moderates” from the “extremists” until the shooting starts. ~Bob.

The Coming of the New Ice Age: End of the Global Warming Era?
Excerpt: Back then, the media and activists trumpeted the arrival of a new ice age, with the specter of ice sheets and glaciers covering half the northern hemisphere, and brutal winters in the remaining ice-free zones. The fact that the media and popular culture and academia have veered from one panic-inducing disaster scenario to another one which completely contradicts the first one is funny enough in its own right. But reading The Weather Conspiracy: The Coming of the New Ice Age opened my eyes to an even more significant aspect of this serial crisis-mongering: The “solutions” prescribed to solve both Global Warming and the looming Ice Age are exactly the same. (TOJ has been pointing this out regularly for years. There are some great page scans of the book written about in this article. Some of the comments and experts’ advice cited in those pages is remarkably revealing. Ron P.)

Obama Fundraising Advantage Disappearing By Josh Kraushaar
Excerpt: Every presidential election, there's a new development that changes the nature of campaigns that one party, often the one out of power, takes advantage of. … This year, it's the Republicans' adept and aggressive use of super PACs to even the financial playing field, blunting the often-massive money advantages that an incumbent president has at his disposal.
