30 Stupid Things The
Government Is Spending Money On
http://www.mrconservative.com/2012/03/2471-30-government-waste-projects/
Excerpt: If you want to get paid for doing something stupid,
just turn to the
U.S.
government. The
U.S.
government is paying researchers to play video games, it is paying researchers
to study the effects of cocaine on Japanese quail and it has spent millions of
dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly. The amount of money
that the government wastes is absolutely horrifying.
77 Percent of
Illegals Caught on Mexican Border Were Not Prosecuted
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/77-percent-illegals-caught-mexican-border-were-not-prosecuted
Excerpt: About 77 percent of the 327,577 illegal aliens
caught along the Mexican border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
during fiscal 2011 were not prosecuted, according to government data analyzed
by the office of Rep. John Culberson. The Texas Republican, whose district
includes parts of
Houston,
submitted a document containing the data for the record at a Wednesday hearing
of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security. The hearing
focused on the budget for CBP.
Dad arrested after
daughter draws man with gun
http://www.wellandtribune.ca/2012/02/26/dad-arrested-after-daughter-draws-man-with-gun
Excerpt: Jessie Sansone and his family are reeling after he
was arrested and strip searched by police after his four-year-old daughter drew
a picture of a man with a gun in her Kitchener, Ont., kindergarten class. The
26-year-old father of four said Saturday the sketch was supposed to be him,
getting the bad guys and monsters. (
Canada, but where we are going as
freedom erodes. ~Bob.)
Boko Haram plans 'to
eradicate Christians' from areas in Nigeria
http://www.longwarjournal.org/threat-matrix/archives/2012/03/boko_haram_plans_to_eradicate.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LongWarJournalSiteWide+%28The+Long+War+Journal+%28Site-Wide%29%29
Excerpt: Boko Haram, the radical Islamist terror group that
has been linked to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb as well as Shabaab, al
Qaeda's affiliate in East Africa, is intent on turning its
insurgency in the north of Nigeria into a full-fledged war
between Christans and Muslims. The terror group has bombed numerous churches in
the country in the past two years, including a suicide attack
at a church in Jos at the end of February. Leadership, a Nigerian
news outlet, interviewed a Boko Haram spokesman who said that the group will
"eradicate Christians from certain parts of the country"
while fighting to establish "a proper Islamic state." (The
President says we are not at war with Islam, which would be fine if he could
convince millions of Muslims they weren't at war with Christianity. ~Bob.)

U-Tenn video. ~Bob
http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/03/02/daylight_new_film_blasts_obamas_israel_record
Excerpt:
The trailer for a new 30-minute video, entitled
"Daylight: The Story of Obama and Israel," cuts together clips of
Obama quotes and outside commentary to put forth the narrative that Obama has
made statements and taken actions as president that have put him out of step
with the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his
supporters. (UPDATE: Now you can watch the entire 30 minute video
here.)
Her Perceived
Sexuality’? Occupy Oakland

http://theothermccain.com/2012/03/04/her-perceived-sexuality-occupy-oakland-protesters-accused-of-robbing-lesbian-stealing-her-obama-pin/
Excerpt: Three Occupy Oakland protesters suspected of stealing
an
Oakland
woman’s wallet and making offensive remarks about her perceived sexuality were
charged Friday with robbery and committing a hate crime, both felonies,
authorities said.
Financial Woes Keep
Spanish Airport
Grounded
http://www.npr.org/2012/03/04/147806399/financial-woes-keep-spanish-airport-grounded
Excerpt: Spanish politicians spent $220 million on the
sparkling new Castellon airport on
Spain's Mediterranean coast — $40
million alone was spent on TV ads and other marketing. They also paid $600,000
for ferrets and falcons to kill birds that endanger aircraft. Yet no plane has
yet taken off. Construction, which began in 2004, went over budget, partly to
fund a 75-foot statue of a local politician out front. The project in
Valencia —
Spain's most indebted region — ran
out of money before any deals with airlines were signed. Though the airport
held a "grand opening" last year, the terminal still hasn't seen a
single passenger. (Today, I was treated to a perfect example of the selective
nature of the liberal mind. NPR is perfectly capable of good journalism. In
their NEWS division, only. This story aired on NPR’s Weekend Edition. The story
clearly identifies the source of the problem: the authority—think of it as a
“state”—that built the airport IS NOT responsible for paying for it, that
responsibility rests on lower governmental bodies—think of them as counties and
towns. This situation was presented as clearly BAD, which it is. The very next
story I heard was a local activist speaking in favor of “infrastructure
projects”—like another new civic center for
Boston—to improve the economy “state and
region-wide.” I actually laughed so hard, I pulled into a parking lot until I
could control my guffaws. Obviously they don’t see or understand the
similarities. Ron P.)
Judicial Watch Sues
Obama Justice Department for Records Related to Justice Kagan’s Role in
Obamacare Discussions While Serving as Solicitor General
http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-sues-obama-justice-department-for-records-related-to-justice-kagans-role-in-obamacare-discussions-while-serving-as-solicitor-general/
Excerpt: Judicial Watch, the organization that investigates
and fights government corruption, announced today that it filed a lawsuit
against the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) seeking access to records related
to U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Elena Kagan’s role in Obamacare
discussions while she served as President Obama’s Solicitor General (Judicial
Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:12 –cv-00277)). Previous documents
uncovered by Judicial Watch have raised concerns about whether Justice Kagan
should recuse herself from considering the Obamacare litigation when it goes
before the High Court in March 2012.
Climate madness
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/ct-edit-climate-20120225,0,3701177.story
Excerpt: So who is Gleick? Some anonymous cyberhacker with a
grudge against climate skeptics? Not quite. Gleick is a prominent environmental
activist, head of the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment
and Security in
Oakland, Calif. He's also a former MacArthur
Foundation "genius grant" recipient, and ... chair of the American
Geophysical Union's Task Force on Scientific Ethics. (I don’t believe I’ve ever
heard the Chicago Tribune described as a conservative or right-wing or
Republican medium. Yet, in this mildly worded editorial, they politely hold
their nose and point their finger at Dr. Gleick and his supporters in the CAGW
camp. Ron P.)
A Last Battle for Vietnam War's
'Secret' Soldiers
http://www.military.com/news/article/a-last-battle-for-vietnam-wars-secret-soldiers.html
Excerpt: In a small building on
Arcade Street about a dozen Hmong
veterans of the Vietnam War -- all trained, paid and armed to fight for the
United States
by the Central Intelligence Agency -- gather regularly to discuss upcoming
public service events or festivities where their honor guard might be needed.
They dress in old military uniforms they have bought on their own and have
decorated with patches of their own design. The meetings now come with a
renewed urgency. When they die, these secret warriors of a secret American war
want to buried in veterans cemeteries alongside their American comrades. But
even though they now are commonly acknowledged as having fought for the
United States in northern
Laos, they are prohibited by law from being
buried in national or state veterans cemeteries, which are reserved for
American service members and honorably discharged
U.S. military veterans and their
families. (We used them and abandoned them in life. Why should they expect us
to stand by them in death? ~Bob.)
U.S.
government ultimately paid bail for Egypt
NGOs (cited by Col
Allen West)
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/03/us-egypt-usa-ngos-idUSTRE82206H20120303
Excerpt: The bail paid for
U.S.
pro-democracy activists facing charges in
Egypt
ultimately came from the
U.S.
government, the State Department said on Friday. Egyptian authorities had
accused the workers, including the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray
LaHood, of working for groups receiving illegal foreign funding and had barred
them from leaving the country. The case put at risk $1.3 billion in annual U.S.
military aid to Egypt, a cash transfer that began flowing after Egypt made
peace with Israel in 1979, and it marked the deepest rift in U.S.-Egyptian
relations in decades. (They think we are stupid and are laughing at us. They
are probably right. ~Bob.)
A Sobering Surprise
on Fifth Avenue:
Ash Wednesday: St. Patrick's Cathedral
http://www.tfp.org/tfp-home/only-in-america/a-sobering-surprise-on-fifth-avenue.html
Excerpt: People began to enter the downtown
New York City building at 7:30 in the
morning, but by 11:30 a massive snake-like-line of people was so large, some
got a bit frustrated and wondered if it was worth the wait, yet none left their
spot. I overheard one very worldly and irritated looking businesswoman comment
to her friend, as they watched the crowd, “It will take us an hour to get
inside.” Her friend tried to allay her fear. “It won’t take that long."
Britain's Health Care Disaster: Our Model - by
Gary J. Isbell, The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and
Property
http://www.tfp.org/tfp-home/news-commentary/britains-healthcare-disaster-our-model.html
Excerpt: It seems at least one person in
Britain is
beginning to see the light. The current Prime Minister David Cameron, along
with some conservatives, is suggesting to outsource healthcare to the private
sector circumventing the NHS. It is cheaper, higher quality and faster.
Are Dolphins Persons?
- by Gary J. Isbell, The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family
and Property
http://www.tfp.org/tfp-home/news-commentary/are-dolphins-really-persons.html
Excerpt: It seems that animal rights advocates are never
satisfied. Now researchers are attempting to demonstrate that dolphins and
whales are so intelligent that they should be recognized as “non-human persons”
and accorded their own bill of rights. One simple question remains to be
answered: How can one recognize personhood without solid evidence of a person,
that is, an individual substance of rational nature? (So, baby human beings are
no longer persons, but now dolphins are? I'm finding it hard to keep up...Kate
in LA.)
Isaac Herzog:
Israelis Feel Obama-Netanyahu Summit Will Decide
on Iran
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/02/isaac-herzog-israelis-feel-obama-netanyahu-summit-will-decide-on-iran.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=cheatsheet_morning&cid=newsletter%3Bemail%3Bcheatsheet_morning&utm_term=Cheat%20Sheet
Excerpt: “Are we going to war by early summer?” Tammy, a
16-year-old schoolgirl, asked me as I was delivering a lecture to her class on
how the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, operates. All of a sudden a serious,
heavy silence fell in the lecture hall, and the laughing and chattering crowd
of youngsters froze. (…) “People in this country are somewhat in denial about
it,” I told her. “We cannot foresee what will happen—so much depends on the
upcoming Obama-Netanyahu meeting.” (I pity the Israelis, having to put their
faith in us; I’m not sure I have that much faith in us, anymore. But only a
craven low-life coward consumed by self-interest could turn his back on such
courage. Ron P.)

Excerpt: Police have identified an
Oklahoma City man who was fatally shot
Wednesday night by a woman who said he was trying to break into her house. Jose
Hernandez, 24, was pronounced dead at the scene in the 600 block of

Russell County man indicted in scheme to transport
immigrants has been deported 8 times
http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/2012/03/03/v-print/1956103/russell-county-2-indicted-in-scheme.html
Excerpt: A married couple accused of transporting several
illegal immigrants from
Ladonia,
Ala., to
Florida

Ann Roberson, 21, and her 33-year-old husband Roberto Jimenez-Delgado, an
illegal immigrant who’s been deported eight times, face charges of bringing in
and harboring illegal immigrants. Jimenez-Delgado faces additional charges of
re-entry of deported illegal immigrants and concealment of facts about
re-entry, court documents state.
The United States

Excerpt: The 305th and 306th Expeditionary Airlift Squadrons
were activated as subordinate units of the 89th Airlift Wing on December 1.
Wouldn't it be nice?
http://townhall.com/columnists/paulgreenberg/2012/03/02/wouldnt_it_be_nice/page/full/
Excerpt: How nice it would be if there were no such things
as unemployment, uncertainty, instability, recurring crises and all the other
ills that a free people is heir to. Why not pass a law to that effect? It was
called the National Industrial Recovery Act and was passed in the first flood
of New Deal emergency legislation in 1933 -- toward the end of the fabled Hundred
Days. It covered just about everything in the economy -- every wage paid for
every job, every price for every item manufactured, even down to every chicken
slaughtered in New York City. But it didn't last.
Baltimore Mayor Prohibits Police From Enforcing
Federal Immigration Law
http://standwitharizona.com/blog/2012/03/02/baltimore-mayor-prohibits-police-from-enforcing-federal-immigration-law/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+StandWithArizona+%28Stand+With+Arizona%29
Excerpt: What’s wrong with this picture:
Arizona
and
Alabama
pass legislation mandating that police officers enforce Federal immigration
laws – and are sued for doing so by the Federal government. And now this: a
mayor of a major city orders her police to REFUSE to enforce those laws – and
will face no lawsuit whatsoever. The inmates are truly running the asylum in
America, when
it comes to illegal immigration.
What if Catholic
bishops aren’t bluffing?
http://hotair.com/archives/2012/03/01/what-if-catholic-bishops-arent-bluffing/
Excerept: Earlier this week,
Francis Cardinal George of the archdiocese of
Chicago sent a message to parishioners in
Barack Obama’s home town that imposition of the HHS mandate to fund and
facilitate contraception, abortifacients, and sterilization would force the
Catholic Church to close its hospitals, clinics, schools, and all other
organizations that would otherwise have to comply. “Two Lents from now,”
Cardinal George warned, “unless something changes, the page [listing Catholic
organizations] will be blank."
Obama to Cut
Healthcare Benefits for Active Duty, Retired Military
http://freebeacon.com/trashing-tricare/
Excerpt: The Obama administration’s proposed defense budget
calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their
healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers’ benefits
untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon, according
to
U.S.
officials. Several congressional aides suggested the move is designed to
increase the enrollment in Obamacare’s state-run insurance exchanges.
http://www.algemeiner.com/2012/03/01/wikileaks-global-intelligence-files-israel-day-4-bin-ladens-body-brought-back-to-u-s/
Excerpt: Wikileaks
claims
that Osama bin Laden’s body was transferred to
Dover, Delaware
on a CIA
plane. An email dated May 2, 2011
states the body will then be moved “…to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology
in Bethesda.”
Two US Air Force Airlift Wings are based at Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware.
In another email dated May 2, 2011
a Stratfor staff member expresses doubt that Bin Laden’s corpse was buried at
sea and mentions, “We would want to photograph, DNA, fingerprint, etc. His body
is a crime scene and I don’t see the FBI nor DOJ letting that happen.”
