Read: The Supersessionists of the Liberal
Conspiracy. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt:
The consensus we all live by is a fragile thing. It is being torn apart by the
radical left and once it is destroyed, it will not bind the right, in the same
way that it no longer binds the left. And then the true conflict will begin.
Where Now? By Victor
Davis Hanson
Excerpt: The government gridlock is, to use now politically
incorrect metaphors, only one lost battle in a long campaign, and we are now
back to the original proposition of watching the administration try to
implement Obamacare. We know the president does exceedingly well when he can
campaign against the forces of darkness, but when attention, even for a moment,
turns to his own efforts — Obamacare; the stimulus; Solyndra; cash for
clunkers, Benghazi; the AP, IRS, and NSA scandals; gun control; Syria, etc. —
as it will now for a few weeks until the next psychodramatic “war” against
someone, he flounders.
Senior officer, NCIS
agent are among those arrested in Navy bribery scandal
Excerpt: The U.S. Navy is being rocked by a bribery scandal

Excerpt: From the end of the recession in 2009, real
economic growth in the United

Wind Energy Receives
Preferential Treatment
Excerpt: As the federal budget debate continues to heat up,
one of the contentious energy policy battles is over the extension of the wind
production tax credit (PTC), a 2.3-cents-per-kilowatt-hour handout that is
awarded to wind producers and other qualifying sources and continues for a
decade after initial production, says Nicolas Loris, the Herbert and Joyce
Morgan Fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
Work begins on Calif.
Excerpt: Such sentiments can be heard throughout the Central Valley , where roads are dotted with signs such
as: "HERE COMES HIGH SPEED RAIL There goes the farm." Growers
complain of misplaced priorities, and residents wonder if their tax money is
being squandered. (Another liberal

http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/329525-report-nsa-hacked-former-mexican-president#ixzz2iKTkenEl
Excerpt: The president’s office was considered “a lucrative source,” since the domain was also used by cabinet members and contained detailed communications about the Mexican political system. Documents about the mission, known as “Flatliquid,” were obtained by Der Spiegel from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Another NSA operation outlined in the documents, dubbed “Whitetamale,” gained access to emails of high-ranking officials in the Mexican agency tasked with fighting the drug trade and human trafficking.

Excerpt: WND senior reporter Aaron Klein displays a Jewish
demeanor in his appearances on Fox News, according to Department of Homeland
Security adviser Mohamed Elibiary. The unusual comment came in an email
exchange in which Klein had asked Elibiary to comment on a recent tweet in
which he warned the tea party against attempting to change the U.S.

flag over a major thoroughfare where Jews pass in their vehicles.
Excerpt: The text-books of Pakistani schools pose the
killing of Christians as "goal to be sought" that would help the same

Avoiding Fiscal Catastrophe. By Ed
Feulner
Excerpt: Thanks to unbridled spending, corporate bailouts,
and the takeover of the best health-care system in the world, America
Excerpt: The most common reason for a death spiral is
government price fixing, usually in the form of community rating and guaranteed
issue (where everyone is charged the same premium and the insurer must take all
comers). Healthy people leave the pool because they are being over-charged.
Sick people remain because they are being under-charged. This would not occur
if each enrollee were charged a premium that reflects his/her actuarial risk.
Excerpt: You can see where this is going. The insurance
always costs more than the penalty, and the insurance isn’t that great once you
account for co-pays and deductibles. If the reason an uninsured person hasn’t
bought insurance is that it’s too expensive, then most of the time they’re
going to choose the cheaper option – paying the fine.

and Mexico
Excerpt: Three people, including a girl aged eight, died

Flashback: Remarks by the President on the Affordable
Care Act and the Government Shutdown
Excerpt: Now, like every new law, every new product rollout,
there are going to be some glitches in the signup process along the way that we
will fix. I’ve been saying this from the start. For example, we found out that there have been times this morning where
the site has been running more slowly than it normally will. The reason is
because more than one million people visited healthcare.gov before 7:00 in the
morning.
What If They Gave a Shutdown and No One Cared? By Kurt
Schlichter
Excerpt: Perhaps it’s anecdotal, but it seems to be a pretty
common anecdote – outside the Beltway, no one cares. The shutdown, the debt
ceiling – it’s not even on normal peoples’ radar except for as part of what
those normal people who don’t live and breathe politics regard as the general
background noise of governmental dysfunction. I’ve heard literally no normal
folks talk about the “crisis.” Not one or two or three but zero.
Reality Check for HealthCare.gov: Even an
administration that refuses to answer questions can’t keep the facts hidden
forever. By John Fund
Excerpt: Well, for starters, a lot of people would like to
know how the federal government showered $634 million on a host of IT
contractors to build HealthCare.gov, a website that has had the worst debut of
any product since New Coke. The site is supposed to provide a menu of insurance
plans for Americans in the 36 states without their own site. Instead, it has
become a black box — the few applications insurance companies have managed to
receive from it are glitch-filled and error-riddled, the insurers say.
The Entitlement Hang-Up. By Robert Samuelson
Excerpt: Let's drop the whole notion of
"entitlement." Just eliminate it. Politicians, pundits and academics
who talk about entitlements would then have to name the actual programs and argue
their merits and demerits. This would encourage clarity and candor. Of course,
that's why it won't happen. Generally, Americans don't want clarity and candor
in their fiscal debates. We blame our leaders for budget brawls -- this latest
was a doozy -- but forget that our leaders are largely governed by public
opinion, which is awash in contradictions.
60 Minutes: Congress
Using 'Slush Funds' To Bankroll Lavish Lifestyles
Excerpt: Rep. Rob Andrews (D-NJ), for example, tapped his
wife, a lawyer and an associate law dean at Rutgers School of Law-Camden, to be

She approved the use of donor dollars to fly her, Rep. Andrews, and their two

CBS Reporter Calls
Congresswoman's Campaign Loan Setup Similar To 'Mafia' Scheme
Excerpt: CBS's 60
Minutes confronted Congresswoman Grace Napolitano (D-CA) about
$150,000 she loaned to her campaign in 1998 at an astounding 18% interest rate,
likening the profit margin to organized crime.
Congresswoman
Funneled $294,245 In Campaign Cash To Herself
Excerpt: Rep. Grace Napolitano (D-CA) has bagged at least
$294,245 since 1998 by loaning her congressional campaign money at interest
rates up to 18%--a scheme that effectively funneled campaign contributor
donations directly into her personal bank account. (18% guaranteed ROI--not a
bad "investment." ~Bob)

Excerpt:
“If all this
is too much for you to absorb, follow our previous advice: Stay away from
Healthcare.gov for at least another month if you can,” Nancy Metcalf wrote.
“Hopefully that will be long enough for its software vendors to clean up the

racists. ~Bob)
Contractors See Weeks

Excerpt: Federal contractors have identified most of the main problems crippling President

worry that the system may be weeks away from operating smoothly, people close
to the project say.

http://www.cliffordmay.org/13941/the-other-long-war
Excerpt: The Muslim world needs democracy and economic reform
— on that, almost everyone agrees. As Rami Khouri, columnist for the Daily
Star of Beirut, recently complained: "Arab countries . . . have spent nearly a
century developing themselves and have so little to show for it. Not a single
credible Arab democracy. . . . Not a single Arab society that can claim to have
achieved a reasonably sustainable level of social and economic
development." But when we talk about democracy and economic reform, do we
share a common understanding of what those terms mean? I'm skeptical. (A very
thought-provoking essay about the Muslim world and history, and where we are-
and are not- today. --Del

http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/100413-673964-ibdtipp-data-show-479-million-americans-looking-for-work.htm
Excerpt: In our IBD/TIPP Poll, we ask a different question:
"How many members of your household are currently unemployed and are
looking for employment?"Not surprisingly, the answer we get differs greatly from the
government's data. This month's survey, completed Thursday night, indicated
that 47.9 million Americans are looking for work. No, that's not a misprint:
47.9 million. Out of a workforce of 154 million, that yields a gross
unemployment rate of 31%

CBS's Dickerson: White House Risks 'Credibility Death
Spiral' Over 'Total Fiasco' of ObamaCare Site. By Matthew Balan
Excerpt: John Dickerson could not have been more blunt on
Monday's CBS This Morning about the political damage HealthCare.gov's
well-established technical difficulties is already causing President Obama:
"It's been far worse than a glitch. It's been a total fiasco, as Senator
McCain said. And the problem here is that the administration could get
into, sort of, a credibility death spiral."

Excerpt: A six-member, Portland, Ore. band composed entirely
of Asian-Americans has been fighting the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO)
for over four years in an effort to trademark the band’s name — “The Slants.” (Suppose
a black group wanted to use "The Niggas," which that expert on race,

Darden: We have to
cancel health insurance for 1,000 part-timers because of ObamaCare
Excerpt: Last year, Darden
Restaurants raised the ire of progressives when it toyed with the idea of
eliminating most of its full-time employment for its hundreds
of locations in order to avoid the high costs of ObamaCare compliance. Darden
later rejected the idea, but
most probably didn’t know that the chain offered low-cost health insurance to
its part-time employees — or at least they did. Darden announced today
that they will have to cancel that insurance thanks
to the coverage mandates of ObamaCare, a decision which will send
1,000 employees into the Healthcare.gov exchanges that aren’t functioning now:
The
Truth About Robert Spencer
Excerpt:
Robert Spencer is no more “anti-Muslim” than foes of the Nazis were
“anti-German.” It has become common, because of the efforts of Islamic
supremacist and Leftist groups, to equate resistance to jihad terror with
“hate,” but there is no substance to this. Spencer’s work has been entirely
dedicated to defending the freedom of speech and the principle of equality of
rights for all people before the law.
How
NOT to argue with parents about Common Core. By Michelle Malkin
Excerpt:
Former GOP Florida Gov. Jeb Bush accused moms and dads who’ve vigilantly fought
dumbed-down curricula firsthand of foisting “mediocrity” on their own
kids. Bush, Mike Huckabee, Chamber of Commerce types and Gates Foundation
promoters routinely have insulted Glenn Beck and his listeners as
conspiracy-mongers for raising red flags about Common Core’s data-mining agenda. A Fordham Institute “expert”arrogantly
suggested that actively involved parents like me were somehow confused about
which materials have been “aligned” to Common Core, even though we’re the ones
sitting down with our kids to help with
incomprehensible homework and error-riddled texts every night in our own homes

Reporter: WH Stonewalling on Enrollment Figures. By Keith Koffler
Excerpt: Associated Press White House Reporter Julie Pace
today said Monday morning that the White House has the enrollment numbers for

numbers. (Show me your shocked face. ~Bob)
