Ed Markey. Carriers provided law enforcement agencies text messages, phone location data and wiretaps. Law enforcement also requested the carriers provide “cell tower dumps” in which all the phone numbers that ping off a specific tower during a select period of time are collected.

Taxes And Trust—The Achilles Heel Of Obamacare And Obama. By Pat Caddell Part One: The Opportunity The Political Cudgel--and the Embedded Nail
Excerpt: The Supreme Court’s Obamacare-affirming decision--which can be summed up as “Read John Roberts’ lips, it’s a tax”--has put a political cudgel in the hands of Republicans. The cudgel, of course, is taxes. But a huge nail is also embedded in the cudgel: the fundamental deceit of Obamacare. Yet in the week since the Court’s decision, Republicans have yet to demonstrate that they truly grasp the significance of this weapon--or that they can effectively wield it.

David Maraniss and Obama's Communist Mentor
http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/07/david_maraniss_and_obamas_communist_mentor.html#ixzz20BgtmgbJ
Excerpt: It's interesting that not only does Barack Obama need continued vetting, but so do his biographers. The culprit is the same: the liberal bias that dutifully protects Obama like white knights guarding the king's castle, shamelessly tossing journalistic objectivity right out the window. As Sean Hannity likes to say, when it comes to Obama's background, it has fallen to us conservatives to do the job that the mainstream "Obama-mania media" plainly refuses to do.
Judicial Watch Pursues Answers In Kagan/Obamacare Controversy While DOJ Stonewalls
Excerpt: But Justice Elena Kagan provided no surprises when she voted in favor of keeping the president’s socialist takeover of our nation’s healthcare. I say it’s no surprise, because, as you may recall, Judicial Watch uncovered evidence which suggests that, during Justice Kagan’s tenure as Solicitor General, the Office of the Solicitor General had been more involved in the legal defense of Obamacare than had previously been disclosed.
Three Hundred Dead Mexicans, Will Mexico’s New President Ask For The Extradition Of Holder
Excerpt: The United States has lost two federal agents who were killed by weapons supplied by Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder; who has intentionally allowed over 2,000 military grade weapons to fall into the control of the Mexican drug cartels, but Mexico Mexico
Excerpt: As he lay on the ground just yards from the hospital entrance it is alleged that medical staff, including nurses, porters and paramedics ignored his plight. It is also claimed that members of the public stepped over the man as they entered the hospital, with some even stopping to take photographs and video footage on their mobile phones. An unnamed eyewitness said he was horrified by what he had seen.
Agenda 21: How Globalist Domination Happens on a Local Level. By Susanne Posel
Excerpt: This does not necessarily mean that there will be room for humans as we are seeing massive areas of land being placed under restrictions called “conservation easements”, “scenic byways”, “protected areas”, “biosphere reserves”, “wildlife refuges”, etc. The names are varied and plentiful, but the result is always the same: More government control; less human freedom. ( If you ever have to debate a lefty/RINO/environmentalist freak about the need to have these corridors free for animals to travel between the 3 countries (in other words, no borders), here is what to ask:
Can you name one species of animal that would become extinct if its individuals were confined to the US , Mexico or Canada Canada
America: This time, it's personal. J. E. Dyer
Excerpt: Romney in the Oval Office would not be a predator, ideological or otherwise. But his idea of the proper role and scope of government is much closer to that of Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and all the Democratic presidential candidates since 1964 – including, ultimately, Barack Obama – than that of Ronald Reagan. Romney’s a Massachusetts pol; a Republican in Massachusetts
Allen West: 'If you are going to attack me...get your facts straight!' By Leah Bark
Excerpt: 'The facts are that we have had more people added to Social Security disability then jobs created, and that is appalling. Since 2009, our country has seen 2.4 million jobs created compared to 3.1 million people added to Social Security disability. I am against the waste, fraud and abuse when it comes to social security disability, and I will not be silenced on that issue.' (Go West! --Kate.)
Doug Giles Says: The Current Cowardly Church Needs a Mega Dose of the Rebel Spirit.
Excerpt: Unlike America’s original rebel Christians who dumped the Brits’ taxed tea into Boston Harbor and told King George that he could kiss their King George, today’s evangelicals, I believe—especially the dandy ministers who love to be loved—would have folded like one-ply toilet paper before British oppression. We’re a timid tufted titmouse compared to our rowdy founding forefathers. Here are four reasons why I believe today’s evangelicals would have melted like little bon-bons during the American Revolution:
GOP: Vulnerable Democrats will back healthcare law repeal vote
Excerpt: House Republicans are predicting several more Democrats will join them Wednesday for the chamber’s second vote to repeal the healthcare law. Only three Democrats voted for repeal after the GOP took control of the House last year, but Republicans are confident they can add to this number on Wednesday in spite of the Supreme Court’s ruling that the law is constitutional. (The people oppose the law, but lucky for them, they have Progressives around to tell them what’s good for them. ~Bob.)
Romney’s $106M haul stuns Dems
Excerpt:
Pipelines Are Safest for Transportation of Oil and Gas. By Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute
Excerpt: A review of safety and accident statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation for the extensive network of existing U.S. pipelines—including many linked to Canada—clearly show that, in addition to enjoying a substantial cost advantage, pipelines result in fewer fatalities, injuries, and environmental damage than road and rail. Americans are more likely to get struck by lightning than to be killed in a pipeline accident.[1] (For Obama, it’s about the Base, not facts. ~Bob.)

Obama's Tax Hike on Job Creators
Excerpt: "The last thing you want to do is to raise taxes in the middle of a recession, because that would just suck up—take more demand out of the economy and put businesses in a further hole." That was President Obama in 2009, trying to reassure Americans that he was going to wait until after the recession to raise taxes. Yesterday, he began pushing again for higher taxes on the "wealthy"—which would actually hit 1.2 million of the country's most successful job creators.
Quote to consider on November 6, 2012
When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed. --Ayn Rand.
Identity Crisis
Excerpt: It seems the Romney campaign believes that any day or dollar spent talking about anything other than the economy is a day or dollar wasted. Unquestionably, the economy’s state and direction, as well as voters’ perceptions on Obama’s handling of it—are important. (…) A willingness to fire the president, however, is only one step. Voters also have to be willing to hire Romney. (A life-long Democrat frequently quoted or interviewed on NPR, Cook’s careful neutrality and open-handed advice to the Romney campaign in this column is the first sign I’ve ever seen he might be unhappy with the current administration. And, if he’s unhappy, how many others like him are there? Even if I’m reading this correctly, it won’t change the polls—or the votes, come November. We have a lot of work to do and this is good advice; I hope the big guys read it. --Ron P.)
Outrage over mob attack in Michigan
Excerpt: A legal team that has gone to court in the past to protect Christians at Arab events in Dearborn , Mich.
It happened at the 2012 Arab International festival on Father’s Day weekend, and a video of the attacks has gone viral on the Internet. (“Allah made me do it” is becoming a legal defense. ~Bob.)

Black-on-Jewish Violence in the U.S.A.
Excerpt: As Marc Heinberg walked home from his prayers, the hymns welcoming the Sabbath, the Day of Rest, still humming in his ears, he heard someone yell out, “dirty Jew.” On the old farm road, half-a-dozen African-American teenagers surrounded him, screaming racial slurs and pummeling him with their fists. The two worlds had collided, as they so often did, leaving pain and violence in their wake. (Expect Obama to say, “If I had a Rabbi, he’d look like Marc.” Ha. ~Bob.)
Calls to Destroy Egypt
Excerpt: According to several reports in the Arabic media, prominent Muslim clerics have begun to call for the demolition of Egypt’s Great Pyramids—or, in the words of Saudi Sheikh Ali bin Said al-Rabi‘i, those “symbols of paganism,” which Egypt’s Salafi party has long planned to cover with wax. Most recently, Bahrain’s “Sheikh of Sunni Sheikhs” and President of National Unity, Abd al-Latif al-Mahmoud, called on Egypt’s new president, Muhammad Morsi, to “destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what the Sahabi Amr bin al-As could not.”
The Truth About Government ‘Job Creation.’ By Thomas Sowell
Excerpt: President Obama constantly repeats how many millions of jobs have been created during his administration, while his critics constantly repeat how many millions of jobs have been lost during his administration. How can both of them be right — or, at least, how can they both get away with what they are saying? There are jobs and there are net jobs.
A State Revolt Against ObamaCare Emerges
Excerpt: : After the Supreme Court's ruling, President Obama declared ObamaCare "here to stay." But a revolt is brewing among states that, if it continues, could cause key pieces of the misbegotten law to collapse.
A pathetic ‘tax cut.’ O’s sad gambit. By John Podhoretz
Excerpt: So we have come to this: President Obama is now treating not raising taxes as though it were the same as providing a tax cut. Gene Sperling, his top economic adviser, even dared to refer to Obama’s proposal yesterday of a partial one-year extension of the Bush rates as a “tax break.”
New slayings shake Apple to the core
Excerpt: The Big Apple just kept getting bloodier yesterday, with at least eight more people struck by gunfire — three fatally — as NYPD statistics revealed a jaw-dropping jump in shootings over last year. For a second day, Mayor Bloomberg tried to blame the violence on the “traditionally” high level of gunplay around the Fourth of July — but the stats belied his claim that last week was just business as usual on the increasingly mean streets of New York.

An Interview with Historian Walter Laqueur on the Arab Spring. By Barry Rubin

House Ethics panel clears Rep. Buchanan
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/236975-house-ethics-committee-clears-rep-buchanan
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/236975-house-ethics-committee-clears-rep-buchanan
Excerpt: The House Ethics Committee on Tuesday cleared Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) on charges that he violated House rules by intentionally misleading Congress about his finances. The secretive ethics panel announced that it had completed its investigation of Buchanan, stating that the errors found within his financial disclosure forms did not warrant punitive action. Buchanan has since amended his disclosure information to more accurately reflect his financial holdings, the committee stated.
Excerpt: What I am asserting is that the Bureau’s continued overemphasis on seasonally adjusted results in an erratic economy with little if any meaningful discussion of the underlying raw (i.e., not seasonally adjusted) data consistently gives the public an incomplete and often erroneous picture of the job market.
Hundreds of geese gathered up to be gassed in NY to avoid bird strikes
Excerpt: The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge yesterday was the worst place to be a Canada goose. Federal officials rounded up about 700 of the birds from the area to be euthanized in hopes of cutting down on the strikes with passenger jets that have forced emergency landings from JFK and La Guardia Airports. The action also ended a two-year dispute between the US Department of Agriculture and the National Parks Service over removing the birds. (Right up there with being a bald eagle or a wild mustang. Citizens who want “freedom” next. –Barb.)
Will Class Warfare Work? By Bernard Goldberg

The Real Price of Obama's Prevarications. By Jack Cashill
.Excerpt: On July 5, Fox News ran a piece documenting the "fresh scrutiny" Barack Obama has faced since the June publication of David Maraniss's new book, Barack Obama: The Story. "By some counts," Fox's James Rosen reported, "The Story presents more than three-dozen instances of material discrepancy where [Dreams from My Father] fails to align with the facts as Maraniss reports them." Although Rosen tried to determine whether Obama was justified in prevaricating as he did in his 1995 memoir, he did not assess the real cost of that prevarication. (Obama and his apologists/promoters have glorified the lie of white suppression of black Americans, and have brought it to a level of legitimate, actionable grievance, to the point where race relations have been set back some 75 years, and if B. Hussein loses in November, we may see "Holder's people" unleashed to hunt down any & all whites (and Asians, whom they also resent for their success here). We could be subjected to a nationwide scenario of violence that is currently exploding in Rahm Emanuel's Chicago
Khamenei in Isolation as Revolutionary Guards Threaten Mayhem, Kill Drunks
Excerpt: The folks who claim to be in the know about such things would have us believe that the opposition to the Iranian regime has been crushed, and that Khamenei and his henchmen are firmly in control of the country. But he seems to know better, and he just published a poem (really!) lamenting the failure of the 12th Imam to reappear and to make everything wonderful by slaughtering the enemies of the Shi’a, etc. Maybe he thinks his regime hasn’t done enough to get the Mahdi out of his well in Iran Iran and the Middle East . It sounds as if the Revolutionary Guards are well on their way to being THE controlling faction in the Iranian government. --Ron P.)
