Excerpt: I met Walter Cronkite once. He was a jerk. ...
This was about half a decade before his public pronouncements became full-blown
bonkers, suggesting to
Larry King that Karl Rove was manipulating Osama bin Laden in order to
influence U.S. elections. ... Cronkite, for all of his failings and his utterly
conventional liberalism, was a real reporter. (And sort of a bad-ass, too, at
one point manning a machine gun while covering World War II. I do hope that
Brian Williams doesn’t pick up that story, too.) Stewart, who has announced his
pending retirement from The Daily Show, is only an intellectual parasite,
echoing the conventional liberalism of the old-line media establishment without
doing any of the work.
Interesting: Liberalism after Jon Stewart. By David
Weigel
Excerpt: This granted Stewart more power than any comparable
host. Everyone covered the botched rollout of HealthCare.gov. No
one captured the liberal horror at the rollout like Stewart did,
when he
interviewed then-HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "If you’re a
Democrat and you’ve lost Jon Stewart, you have a problem," intoned Chuck
Todd and the other authors of NBC News's First Read memo. But that was just it:
The assumption was that Stewart would only nail Democrats when they were
halfway down the tubes already. The rest of the time, he'd be mocking
conservatives, and the worst of the mainstream media; liberals would get
dopamine hits from watching the results on TPM or HuffPost.
Worth Reading
Excerpt: Politicians are often the worst offenders. Vice
President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race of 1988 once it was
revealed that he had been caught plagiarizing in law school. In that campaign,
he gave a speech lifted from British Labor party candidate Neil Kinnock. Hillary
Clinton fantasized when she melodramatically claimed she had been under sniper
fire when landing in Bosnia .
Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, was more overt in lying under oath
in the Monica Lewinsky debacle. Former senator John Walsh (D., Mont.) was
caught plagiarizing elements of his master’s thesis. President Obama has
explained that some of the characters in his autobiography, Dreams from My Father, were “composites”
or “compressed,” which suggests that in some instances what he described did
not exactly happen.
Brian Williams:
Borrowed Scars
Why Indiana
Excerpt: Today’s president, whose prior governmental
experience was meager and entirely legislative, probably has strengthened
voters’ normal preference for actual executives — governors rather than
legislators — as chief executives. Governors actually govern, which means
continually making choices and compromises. So, with the Republican nominating
electorate increasingly persnickety about ideological purity, governors often
are more disadvantaged than senators as candidates.
Excerpt: Sweden 's
central bank has cut its key interest rate from 0% to a record low of -0.1%.
It also launched a programme of quantitative easing, buying
government bonds worth 10 billion kronor ($1.2bn) to inject cash into the
economy. The central bank, or Riksbank, said that there was a risk that
inflation would not rise fast enough. (Huh. They pay you to borrow money? Sign
me up. ~Bob)

Excerpt: Islamist agents will infiltrate every major city in

following marathon talks in the Belarusian capital of Minsk . Russia 's President Vladimir Putin
on Thursday said the agreement envisages the cease-fire starting Sunday, a

humanitarian issues. But Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the talks
did not include any agreement on autonomy or federalization for eastern Ukraine , a longtime demand of Russia . (Peace

Excerpt: A House committee is looking into why Attorney Gen.
Eric Holder cut Democratic activist groups in on billion-dollar settlements
with big banks. Better late than never — we wondered the same thing six months
ago. They say that the wheels of justice grind slowly. But considering the size
of this Obama administration power abuse, the probe's delay is disappointing.
Middle School Students Given Explicit ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Puzzles
Excerpt: Parents in a Monessen, Pennsylvania are irate
at school officials after Fifty Shades of Grey-themed word search puzzles
were given to their middle school children. In the latest round of controversy regarding
the sexually explicit series, several teenaged students were reportedly given
word puzzles that included the terms “spanking,” ”submissive,” ”leather cuffs,”
and “bondage,” among other words, which are reportedly more
explicit.
Excerpt: But there are more limitations on the MyRA than the Roth IRA, writes Pam Villarreal, senior
fellow at the National
Center MyRA is limited to
Treasury bond investments. Thus, the MyRA has
several significant drawbacks: Because the MyRA only invests in government debt (bonds),
it is not the wisest choice for workers who have decades before retirement. The
MyRA is only
available to workers whose employers are set up to make automatic payroll
deductions. The MyRA
account is limited to 30 years or a $15,000 balance, at which time the account
must be rolled over into a private IRA. MyRA
investments will produce rates of return similar to the Government Securities
Investment Fund (G) in the Federal Thrift Savings Plan available to federal
employees. Since 1987, the average annual rate of return of the G fund has
ranged from 1.89 percent to 5.54 percent, depending on the length of time
the bond is held.
Obama Charity Tax
Proposal: Hurting the Ones Who Love Him, By Howard Husock
Excerpt: For the seventh consecutive year, President Obama has
proposed to limit the value of the charitable tax deduction for those who give
a disproportionate amount of charitable gifts: high-income donors. Once again,
the President, in his budget, has asked Congress to limit the value of a
deduction for a charitable gift made by high-income households to 28 percent
—despite the fact that the top tax rate is 39.6 percent. The White House
justifies its proposal, which would likely mean a multi-billion dollar
reduction in charitable giving, on a familiar basis: equity. It would, says the
Administration, “make the tax code more equitable because the value of the tax
expenditures as a percentage of the deduction is proportional to one’s bracket,
so it is less valuable to those in the lower brackets.” Translation: the White
House objects to the fact those who earn more get a bigger tax break for giving
their money way that those who earn less. (If charity goes down, the government
would need to step in--and hire more bureaucrats who vote Democrat. ~Bob)
60 Minutes’ Bob Simon killed in car crash

Part VII:

As an association executive, I filed 990s for 31 years for
the associations I managed, and have reviewed a lot of others, competitors,
associations we were working with or associations I was applying to. On the WWP
990, I see only Part IX, numbers 1. and 2. as expenses that went to help
veterans. If I've missed something, please let me know. That amounts to $17,702,785
out of revenue of $234,682,943. Or 7.5%. On the other hand, Charity Navigator
gives WWP three stars (http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=12842#.VNzqDfnF_6c)
says the WWP spends 57.7% of the revenue on programs for the mission. I would
like to know what they count as program expenses--it must include salaries and
other overhead to support programs. If you donate $100, and I deliver a $20 meal to the poor and get paid $50 to deliver it, did $20 or $70 of your donation go to feed the poor? ~Bob
WaPo Fact Checker: Obama’s
claim that one in five American women has been a victim of rape or attempted
rape. By Glenn Kessler
Excerpt: But in this case, the president did not cite the
report; he stated it as an actual fact. Granted, he was speaking in a public
service announcement, where footnotes and caveats are generally not used. If he
was trying to get people’s attention, he certainly did. But by the same token,
by citing as fact the results of a survey that may be overstated, the president
runs the risk of undermining support for his efforts to call attention to
sexual violence.
There’s no such thing as a perfect survey, with completely
accurate results — especially when the conclusions are determined by the
interpretations of analysts. So the president earns a Pinocchio.
Why am I here?
If anyone ever wonders why I am here in Viet Nam again, below is the
answer.
This man has no legs, one arm, and is dying of liver
disease. He was so happy to see me that his whole body shook and he had trouble
speaking. He hung onto my hand like a drowning man, and tried to talk to me in
some bits of remembered English. He wanted to know if I lived in San Jose , because he
heard it was very nice there. His wife is the lady looking over my shoulder. She
was blown away by having me come visit, with a translator and another old vet.
And it was in a way like my first visit, nine years ago, when one of the first
men I met was in the same condition, except his liver was OK. And he asked me
then for what this man asked for now. A special wheelchair, so it'd be easier
for his wife to move him around their little place. And like that last time, I
could hardly say no, and he will have his chair right after the holidays are
over. This is somehow much more difficult than my other visits. I find myself
just sad all the time about what I see here. But that discussion is for another
time. I have many more old, disabled vets to see. --Del. (Del is part of the
Vietnam Healing Foundation, that helps destitute Arvin vets who supported us,

Vets Group Demands VA Secretary Apologize for Asking Iraq
Excerpt: A key veterans group on Wednesday demanded that
Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald apologize for insulting a member of
Congress who just happens to be a 22-year Marine Corps veteran. McDonald got
the attention of Concerned Veterans for America during the day when he got
angry at a series of questions from Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.). Coffman was
asking about the VA’s failed hospital construction project in his home state,
when McDonald stunned the room by trying to shift the blame to Coffman.
Why I'm
"Insecure" About Homeland Security
Excerpt: I'm not a big fan of Homeland Security. Here's why:
The U.S. military are taught from basic training on, throughout their career,
that we are to always be subservient to civilian leadership, that our greatest
responsibility is to defend our nation, and do so as "citizen
soldiers" owing our allegiance to the citizenry we swear an oath to
defend. How many know that, except for selective Guard units,
and the U.S. Coast guard, Homeland Security is made up of civilian
bureaucracies who owe their allegiance only to the mighty U.S. government who
issues them a paycheck, and for which no similar set of ethics exists which
protects the private citizen from Homeland Security mandates.
Important: World debt is good? By Robert J. Samuelson
Excerpt: Almost everyone wants faster economic growth and
lower unemployment. But there's deep division over whether less or more debt is
the way to get there. On the facts, there is little dispute. The world has more
debt now than at the height of the financial crisis. In a new report, the
McKinsey Global Institute — the research arm of the well-known management
consulting firm — estimates that worldwide debt rose an astonishing $57
trillion, or 40 percent, from the end of 2007 to mid-2014. As a share of the
global economy, debt was 286 percent of gross domestic product, up from 269
percent of GDP in 2007.
Worth Reading
Excerpt: Never mind that we're in the slowest economic
recovery since FDR's awful policies prolonged the Great Depression. Never mind
that the "official" unemployment rate of 5.7 percent is a statistical
fraud because it doesn't count the millions who've dropped out of the job
market. Never mind that the federal government still spends $486 billion more
every year than it takes in and future deficits are projected to be a trillion
bucks a year. And never mind that ObamaCare is a fiscal time bomb that's already
driven up the cost of health insurance for millions of individuals and small
business owners.
Excerpt: “In October 2014, we posted an ‘Extremist File’ of
Dr. Ben Carson. This week, as we've come under intense criticism for doing so,
we've reviewed our profile and have concluded that it did not meet our
standards, so we have taken it down and apologize to Dr. Carson for having
posted it.” (According to his Facebook page, the left-wing atheist who just murdered
three Muslim students in NC over a parking dispute was a SPLC fan. ~Bob)

RNC Honors The Late Edward Brooke At Trailblazer Luncheon.
By Matt Vespa
Excerpt: As the Republican National Committee held its
3rd Annual Black Republican Trailblazer Awards luncheon, honoring
newly elected members Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX), Rep. Mia Love (R-UT), and
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), there was a good portion of the program dedicated to the
late. In 1966, Brooke became the first African American elected to the U.S.
Senate since Reconstruction; a race he won by almost 500,000 votes in a
state where blacks were
less than three percent of registered voters. (Though he was a liberal
Republican, Brooke was smeared and defeated by liberal Democrats in 1978, who
didn't worry about the "racism" charge they throw around today. He
always helped fellow Republicans, including conservatives. I would likely not
have been elected to the state senate without his support. ~Bob)

Sex-Abuse Case Is Hillary's Headache. By Roger Stone
Excerpt: The case is not going away any time soon and
Epstein has good reason to worry. Bill and Hillary Clinton are among VIPs who
also have reason to be concerned. ... The case, now broken wide open by the
exposure of Epstein’s special federal deal, gave the Cassell-Edwards team a
green light, and they wasted no time raising the stakes for Epstein. In
December 2014 they filed a bombshell pleading in which Jane Doe No. 3, Virginia
Roberts, accused Epstein of forcing her to have sex with a number of Epstein’s
powerful friends, naming, among others, Prince Andrew and none other than
Epstein’s criminal defense mastermind himself, Alan M. Dershowitz. Roberts also
named a former governor, former U.S.
senator, former prime minister and a Fortune 500 billionaire among those who were
supplied under-age girls for sex. ... This is where Bill ... and Hillary
Clinton's vulnerability comes in. Former President Bill Clinton visited the
hedonistic private island of the billionaire pedophile, according to the New
York Post.
Excerpt: After winning two bruising electoral battles in the
last 3 years, and making structural changes to Wisconsin’s budget with Act 10,
you might be forgiven for thinking that Scott Walker would likely rest on his
laurels as he prepares for an anticipated 2016 campaign. You would be wrong. Walker has released his proposed Wisconsin
budget for this year and it is loaded with cuts to liberal sacred cows across
the board. Walker ’s
proposed cuts have once again mobilized the unions against him for planned
protests over the weekend. Walker
is yet again showing that where others might prefer the easy road, he almost
relishes the opportunity to test his battle mettle.
On the Islamic State: Marco Rubio leads, Ted Cruz postures.
By Jennifer Rubin
Excerpt: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is an expert rhetorician but
not much of a leader. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is both. There is no better
example than on the authorization for use of force. ... By contrast, Rubio took
to the floor to argue: “I would say there is a pretty simple
authorization he could ask for, and it would read
one sentence. And that is: We authorize the president to defeat and destroy ISIL,
period. And that’s, I think, what we need to do.”
Idiots--funny but sad: Stunned Vermonters condemn
Republican for Latin state motto. Some Vermonters are confused about which
language is the most widely used in Latin America .
Excerpt: Residents of Vermont
were outspoken in their response to the suggestion of a Republican state
senator to introduce a staid Latin phrase as the second motto of the Green Mountain
State Vermont ’s first coin before its admission to the Union . The phrase when translated means, “The
Fourteenth Star,” which expressed Vermonters' desire to become the
fourteenth of these United
States . ... For example,
Ronald Prouty Jr. wrote, “No way this is America
not Mexico or Latin America . And they nee (sic) to learn our language,
just like if we go there they want us to speak theirs.” Richard Mason wrote,
“We are AMERICANS, not latins, why not come up with a Vermont motto that is actually from us.”
Dorothy Lyn Lepisto added, “I thought Vermont was American not Latin? Does any
Latin places have American mottos?” (I suppose they USA [E. Pluribus Unum] and the US Marines [Semper Fidelis] are un-American because they have "Latin"
mottos? ~Bob)
Gun News
Excerpt: A federal district court in Texas
overturned a 1968 gun law prohibiting the sale of handguns to out-of-state
residents, granting those who live in Washington ,

The ruling takes aim at the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, which prohibited handgun sales to
out-of-state residents and was defended by Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.,
who argued that the law doesn’t violate the Second Amendment.

Obamacare/Government Healthcare News
Administration should
fully disclose risks to enrollees in Obamacare exchanges. By John R.
Graham
Excerpt: More and more businesses are figuring out that
continuing to offer health benefits puts them at a competitive disadvantage
vis-Ã -vis firms who socialize the cost of health care by shifting their
employees onto Obamacare exchanges. These crafty firms, however, probably don’t
realize they are putting their employees at enormous risk. If they are
operating in one of 36 states where Obamacare might come to a screeching halt
in the second half of 2015, their workers could lose their subsidized Obamacare
plans as early as July. This is what will happen if the Supreme Court decides
in favor of the petitioner in the Obamacare case of King v. Burwell. This case
addresses the question of whether or not the federal government can pay
subsidies to insurers in states that did not establish their own
health-insurance exchanges.
"You're Greener than Gore" News
Excerpt: A new study of how environmental reporters cover
global warming and climate change reveals that they see the issue as one America has
endorsed and, as a result, no longer include critics in their reports because
they are “generally irrelevant.”
And the orders are coming from editors. What’s more, the
study from George
Mason University USA
in particular. We are woefully short of true investigative reporters and
editors who support them. We have bias on bias in the newsrooms and editorial
offices, but the result is that the average American gets a lot of stuff
represented to him/her as solid fact, that "everybody knows". When
way too much of the time the actual subject is much more complex than that, and
what people are being given is more misinformation rather than real reporting.
If these people continue to get their way and the West gets into the "war
on CO2 generation", we will all see a substantial cost to us, in a variety
of ways, and of course none of it will have the slightest effect on planetary
climate. We can only hope a change in the White House in 2016 may bring a
different point of view to bear where it counts. --Del )

The Left and Islam
Apologetics. By Stephen Schwartz
Excerpt: For some time, an argument has been made that the
liberal left, in refusing to examine the problems of Islam, has betrayed its
Enlightenment roots. That is, while secular, feminist, and protective of free
speech in dealing with its Western peers, the liberal left has been accused of
abandoning its heritage in its quest for political correctness regarding
Muslims. In truth, however, the left has a distinguished background of courting
Islam as a weapon against Western capitalism. Its most representative figures
from the past did so frankly, as the following rehearsal of their statements
demonstrates.
Radical Islam Exists:
Islamism IS the New Totalitarianism. By Qanta Ahmed
Excerpt: In contrast to others, I confirm Radical Islam
exists. Political scientists, including Muslim political scientists, know it as
Islamism. Only part of Islamism expresses violence – violence frequently
identified as terrorism. Much of Islamism pursues non-violent ambitions devoted
to a new but entirely 20thCentury totalitarianism, which is now the preeminent
threat of our age. Islamism is the new totalitarianism.
‘We have a problem.’ By Zaid Nabulsi , The JordanTimes
Excerpt: Enough is enough. It is time to speak out. “Islam
is innocent” is an incomplete sentence. Introspection is needed, for, if we shy
away from reality, the alternative will be more images like those we witnessed
last Tuesday night, when brave Lt. Muath Al Kasasbeh was burnt to death in a
cage. The inconvenient truth that is overlooked or willfully ignored by
apologists for the indefensible is the fact that Wahabism, the cult of
mediaeval austerity founded by Ibn Abdul Wahab (1703-1792), has over the last
half century been exported to every mosque and school throughout the Muslim
world until it completely enveloped mainstream Sunni Islamic teachings.
Wahabism has entirely replaced, and become, Sunni Islam; the
two cannot be told apart anymore.
