The number of "disabled" keeps rising because they
really should be called "enabled." The government and ACLU have
ensured that those addicted to pot, crack, coke, meth, benzos, Spice, alcohol,
etc. do not have to pee in a cup to pick up their disability checks. They can
spend it on more of the same with no guarantee of a job to prevent turning to
crime once the checks run out nor therapy to change their addicted ways. Gov.
Scott in FL tried to ask this of disability claimants in FL and the ACLU
declared it was "unconstitutional." Also he tried to test FL
employees (as most private businesses do) and the ACLU sued again and won on
both counts, finally settled. (They're very good at getting God out of the
country and promoting things that make absolutely no sense....when the private
sector must comply or be terminated but the public sector can watch porn, do
drugs, drink, etc. without testing/checks.) And then there are the lawyers who
make a living of getting "disability" for those who really are not
disabled. "Say no to drugs" sure disappeared under Obama, didn't it?

million in speaking fees even as they had business pending with the State
Department.

cash” allegation involves a 2008 nuclear agreement between India and the United States . According to

Memo: Since 2009, The
State Department Required Outgoing Officials To Turn Over Emails
Excerpt: A memo sent to State Department officials last year
indicates that the agency had a policy in place as early as 2009 requiring
out-going officials to turn over email records when
they leave office. Hillary Clinton flouted that policy when she left her
position as secretary of state in February 2013. Clinton exclusively used a personal email
account hosted on a private server during her time at the agency and
only turned those records over a few months ago.
Excerpt: The Clinton Foundation and its major health charity
have raked in more than $7 million from the U.S. government in recent
years, according to an analysis of public conducted by
the Washington Free Beacon. The Clinton Health Access Initiative
(CHAI), chaired by Bill Clinton and run by the former

Excerpt: A.B.
Stoddard, Associate Editor for the Hill said
that the Clintons “did not want to be transparent,” “in their actions” and that
the Clinton
Foundation sounds like “a slush fund to enrich the Clintons” on Thursday’s
“Special Report” on the Fox News Channel.
Hypocrite: Hillary Doesn't Like Unpaid Internships,
but Clinton
Excerpt: Hillary Clinton may be running for president as a
champion for the middle class, but the Clinton Foundation’s interns do not get
paid. “Businesses have taken advantage of unpaid internships to an extent that
it is blocking the opportunities for young people to move on into paid employment,”
Clinton said at UCLA in 2013. “More businesses need to move
their so-called interns to employees.”

BREAKING: House Ways
and Means Committee Votes to Refer Lois Lerner For Criminal Charges. By Katie Pavlich
Excerpt: The House
Ways and Means Committee has voted to 23-14 along
party lines to refer former head of tax exempt groups at the IRS Lois Lerner to
the Justice Department for prosecution. Although the details about exactly what
charges will be have not yet been released, lawmakers are arguing Lerner has
not been truthful with Congress or the IRS inspector general and leaked
confidential tax information. Last time a referral like this happened, it was
to Major League Baseball player Roger Clemens, who was pursued by the
Department of Justice for lying to Congress but was exonerated in court.
Did White House Hold Lerner Emails to Clean Them From
Implicating Obama? By Dave Jolly
Excerpt: I can’t help but wonder if the thousands of emails
weren’t lost to begin with, but were being carefully cleaned up to protect
those who were truly behind the scandal. Were the emails being cleaned to
protect Barack Obama and were only ‘discovered’ after they have been scrubbed
clean? No one has yet answered the question as to why then IRS
Commissioner Douglas Shulman was the most frequent visitor to the
White House among Obama’s Cabinet members? In the days leading up to the
targeting, Shulman was at the White House 157 times when the next most
frequenting Cabinet member, Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank made
only 86 visits. His top henchman, the Attorney General Eric Holder, only made
62 visitors in the same time period.
Naked, 'superhuman'
paranoids begging police to save them from imaginary mobs? That's flakka!
Excerpt: One man ran naked through a Florida neighborhood, tried to have sex
with a tree and told police he was the mythical god Thor. Another ran nude down
a busy city street in broad daylight, convinced a pack of German shepherds was
pursuing him. Two others tried separately to break into the Fort Lauderdale
Police Department. They said they thought people were chasing them; one wound
up impaled on a fence. (Heard on evening news feed as I was driving my mother
into town; I almost drove off the road I was laughing so hard. We are in end
times and the world is ass backwards....literally. Breaking into police
stations for protection?? Don't tell them that in Ferguson or Baltimore . Wonder if the
pine tree's bark is worse than its bite.....Apparently, flakka is an
amphetamine which causes temperature spikes; hence, the clothing removal, per
article. --Barb)

political journeys, those bills are being paid by his political action

More 'probable' bird
flu cases in Iowa , outbreak could
be U.S.
Excerpt: The highly pathogenic H5 avian flu turned up in
initial tests at five more farms in Iowa ,
including a commercial egg operation housing up to 5.5 million birds, Iowa 's agriculture
department said on Thursday. If the virus is confirmed at the farms in
additional tests under way at a U.S. Department of Agriculture laboratory, the
total number of American cases could surpass 20 million birds and result in the
biggest death toll in a bird flu outbreak in U.S. history. Avian flu at the
egg farm in Buena VistaCounty, where workers saw an unexpected jump in
bird deaths before the flock was tested, could be the largest single farm
operation to be hit in the current outbreak. (Remember, USDA, Michelle, want
folks to eat more veggies; UN wants them to eat more crickets (grow faster,
less pollution). --Barb)

Excerpt: Police say the store employee was about to enter
into the store with a bag under his arm when a man approached him from behind
and pointed a gun at him, demanding the bag, possibly thinking there was cash

to his own gun, pull it out and fire four shots at the man. Two or three of
those shots hit the man in the chest area.

Police 'deeply troubled'
by artwork in Madison Central Library
Excerpt: The piece entitled "Don't Shoot"
by artist Mike L'Roy aims to "startle, shock, and interrupt your
reality." It depicts a young African-American child pointing what looks
like a water gun at three officers, who are wearing riot gear and pointing guns
back at the child. (Police should announce that, in order not to upset the
artist or the librarians, they will not respond to calls from their homes at
these addresses...~Bob)

Charges Filed Against Police Officers in the Death of
Freddie Gray. By Pete Kasperowicz
Excerpt: Baltimore City State ’s
Attorney Marilyn Mosby on Friday announced criminal charges against six Baltimore City Cleveland
killed with a toy gun, I think they might be justified. In the case of Michael
Brown, Holder's Justice Department found there was no evidence to charge the
officer, and the "Hands up, don't shoot" meme was a lie, no matter
what athletes and politicians said. In this case, it's hard to know, because
both the city administration and the event have been so politicized. We will
see. Maybe. ~Bob)

http://www.wnd.com/2015/04/round-2-protests-spread-to-more-u-s-cities/
Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania Baltimore Tuesday night, resulting in Maryland calling out the
National Guard to restore a degree of calm. Earlier in the day, crowds gathered
for a “Philly is Baltimore ”
rally outside city hall and moved toward Rittenhouse Square . (Toggle down for the
protest sign that reads, "Welcome to the fall of white supremacy." Community
organization at its finest to bring down the USA from within. Stupid,
stupid people. From "A Man For All Seasons," Robert Bolt, 1966: Sir
Thomas More: Oh? And when the last
law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper,
the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to
coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man
to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would
blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's
sake!" So, martial law to follow soon? --Barb)
Excerpt: The sad scenes playing out
in Baltimore
are made sadder by the fact that more such incidents are likely over the coming
years. That's because the problems in Baltimore
did not begin with the arrest and death of Freddie Gray. Tensions have been
building for a very long time. Other cities from coast to coast have similar
tensions ready to boil over. Some tensions are common to all cities -- pockets
of economic devastation, laws that are enforced more strictly in some parts of
town than others, bad apples among the police, thugs in the community and more.
New Black Panther
Head: Like Founding Fathers, We Are Willing To Kill For Black Nation
Excerpt: This Week on the New Black Panther Party’s “Black
Power Radio,” national chairman Hashim Nzinga said since America has “declared
war on us,” evidenced by “military police in the black neighborhood” protecting
the rich, the New Black Panthers should be looked upon as Founding Fathers who
declare war and are “willing to die or kill to save our babies and to save a
black nation that is dying before our eyes.”... They have declared war on us
and it’s nothing but state racism.”... “We have to love ourselves enough to be
willing to die or kill to save our babies and to save a black nation that is
dying before our eyes.”
Sharpton Calls For
DOJ To 'Take Over Policing,' 'Going To Have To Fight States' Rights'
Excerpt: Sharpton said, “we need the Justice Department to
step in and take over policing in this country. In the 20th century, they had
to fight states’ rights in — to get the right to vote. We’re going to have to
fight states’ rights in terms of closing down police cases.” (Black liberation.
Forward! What law? Who cares? And who is now head of DOJ with approval of GOP? Holder's
understudy. Very scary. All with POTUS pulling the strings but apparently in
absentia on the golf course, clueless until he "reads it in the
news." Community organization for BLP at its finest. Maybe that's why the
military helicopters are showing up parked in a rural Georgian field as if
staged in readiness for martial law. --Barb)
Thugs: Baltimore

Excerpt: A nearly $16 million East Baltimore community
center and apartment complex under construction were burned to the ground
Monday night during riots that engulfed the Maryland city following the funeral of
Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who died while in police custody earlier this
month. (Burned low income housing for seniors--but you are not supposed to call
them thugs. Too bad, because you can't say "mindless assholes" on TV.

Look Who the Mayor of
Baltimore
Excerpt: But it gets worse … She also took time to thank the
Nation of Islam for helping her deal with the riots. Keep in mind that the
leader of this group happens to be none other than Louis Farrakhan, a
vicious racist with a track record for going
on anti-white tirades and calling for armed
insurrection.
Who had the worst
week in Washington (or Baltimore)? Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. By Chris
Cillizza
Excerpt: But it may be your initial response when I tell you
that Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is my choice for
the winner of the worst week in Washington .
How can that be, you ask? Well, because rules are made to be
broken. Because Baltimore
is close enough to D.C. And mostly because Rawlings-Blake’s
horrendous handling of the riots that broke out in the wake of
Monday’s memorial service for Freddie Gray more than makes up for the
40 miles that separate the two cities.
Ignoring Personal Responsibility Is a Riot. By Ben Shapiro
Excerpt: Hours after residents of Baltimore ,
Maryland , set the city aflame, President
Barack Obama took to the Rose Garden to explain in professorial style just why America , under
his administration, keeps watching young black men loot buildings and attack
police officers. "We have seen too many instances of what appears to be
police officers interacting with individuals -- primarily African-American,
often poor -- in ways that have raised troubling questions. And it comes up, it
seems like, once a week now, or once every couple weeks," Obama said,
proclaiming that police brutality against blacks amounted to a
"slow-rolling crisis." He added, "This is not new, and we
shouldn't pretend that it's new." Obama's disgusting implication was, of
course, that a massive trend of police violence mirroring the racist police
violence of the 1950s has broken out across America . That's false.

expansion, state lawmakers have introduced a bill to curb health-care
costs. State Rep.
Jim Butler, an Oakwood Republican, drafted House Bill 157 in an ambitious
attempt to reform Medicaid and rein in health-care expenses across the
board. “We have consistently poured money into an ever-expanding
medical-industrial complex with a woeful return on taxpayer investment,” Butler wrote in a Dayton
Daily News op-ed, noting state spending on Medicaid is expected to grow to
$7.4 billion in 2017 from $4.7 billion in 2011
Almost half of Obamacare exchanges face financial struggles
in the future. By Lena H. Sun and Niraj Chokshi,
Washington Post
Excerpt: Nearly half of the 17 insurance marketplaces set up
by the states and the District under President Obama’s health law are
struggling financially, presenting state officials with an unexpected and
serious challenge five years after the passage of the landmark Affordable Care
Act. Many of the online exchanges are wrestling with surging costs, especially
for balky technology and expensive customer call centers — and tepid enrollment
numbers. To ease the fiscal distress, officials are considering raising fees on
insurers, sharing costs with other states and pressing state lawmakers for cash
infusions.

There Is Growing Evidence Noncitizens Are Voting. Why Isn’t
the Government Doing Anything? By Kaylan L. Phillips
Excerpt: Noncitizens are registering to vote and at best, it
seems the federal government’s officials don’t care about this illegal
activity. At worst, it raises questions about whether some in Washington support illegal voting, so long
as it supports their political agenda. The exact number of noncitizens who are
voting in our elections is difficult to quantify because of the bureaucratic
quagmire perpetuated by federal agencies against the (very few) states that
have the resolve to attempt to verify citizenship.

Let States Ask for Proof of Citizenship … On Voter Registration Form! The

Worth Reading : The Marshall Islands ’ cautionary tale: There is a
thread that runs between Obama’s policy toward Iran
and his policy toward Israel
Excerpt: On Tuesday, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps
forcibly commandeered the Maersk Tigris as navigated its way through the
Straits of Hormuz. Iran
controls the strategic waterway through which 40 percent of seaborne oil and a
quarter of seaborne gas transits to global markets. The Maersk Tigris is
flagged to the Marshall
Islands . The South Pacific archipelago
gained its independence from the US
in 1986 after signing a treaty conceding its right to self-defense in exchange
for US
protection. According to the treaty, the US
has “full authority and responsibility for security and defense of the Marshall Islands .”
Given the US ’s
formal, binding obligation to the Marshall

Excerpt: In Chairman King’s announcement of this hearing, he

Middle East and South Asia, “we must also focus on the imminent and growing
