Vote Set on Rand Paul Plan to Ax Pakistan Aid - Washington Wire - WSJ

Vote Set on Rand Paul Plan to Ax Pakistan Aid - Washington Wire - WSJ: "Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) said he has secured the right for an up-or-down vote on his proposal to strip all U.S. aid to Pakistan in protest of the harsh prison sentence leveled against the doctor who helped the CIA track Osama bin Laden.

Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani doctor who aided the CIA’s efforts by using the cover of his vaccination program to knock on the door of bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan, was sentenced to 33 years in jail in May. Dr. Afridi was formally accused of aiding militant groups, but his arrest and prosecution was widely seen as a result of the assistance he provided to the U.S."

Maddow Begs Media to Ignore Fast and Furious: Just Another 'Paranoid Delusion' Like Sherrod Scandal | NewsBusters.org: "In a ten-minute rant on her show Thursday night, Rachel Maddow tried to explain the long NBC and ABC blackout of “Fast and Furious” scandal news by somehow tying it to the Shirley Sherrod controversy. The American people should move along, since this scandal is only a “paranoid delusion” and shouldn’t be covered by anyone other than Fox News. It should be carefully quarantined."

Hatred of Israel Brings the KKK and Democrats Back Together | FrontPage Magazine

Hatred of Israel Brings the KKK and Democrats Back Together | FrontPage Magazine: "A primary contest taking place in New York next Tuesday portends yet another embarrassment for the Democrat Party. In the newly re-drawn 8th Congressional District, City Councilman Charles Barron is running against state Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries for the Democratic nomination to succeed retiring Rep. Ed Towns. Yesterday, the African-American Barron picked up an endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. How is this possible? As Duke explained, “The possible election of a dedicated anti-Zionist to the U.S. Congress, has thrown the Zionist-influenced media and the Zio-political establishment in a tizzy,” he said in a web video."

Sandusky Found GUILTY

Cheat Sheet - The Daily Beast: "After 21 hours of deliberation, a Pennsylvania jury has found Jerry Sandusky guilty on 45 out of 48 charges related to child sexual abuse. The former Penn State University assistant football coach was convicted of sexually abusing nine boys (he'd been accused of abusing 10) over a 15-year period. Sandusky had pleaded not guilty to all 48 charges. He and his lawyer, Joe Amendola, unsuccessfully attempted to convince the jury of insufficient evidence, a conspiracy created by the alleged victims for profit, and biased media coverage of the case. Sandusky's adopted son, Matt, shocked the court Thursday evening when he said, through his attorney, that he, too, had been sexually abused by his father and would be willing to testify against him. NBC News reports that Sandusky will get at least 60 years in prison."

Calling for Paul Revere

Calling for Paul Revere: "Our country is once again largely asleep and seems dead to the perversion of individual liberty that has befallen us over the past three years. Many of us who read and understand history are fully aware that the United States has entered a very dark period. The signs are all around us. Just look at only the most recent events that support my assertion."

Morning Bell: President Obama's Imperial Presidency

Morning Bell: President Obama's Imperial Presidency: "The United States was born when rebellious colonists declared their independence from an imperial ruler who had vastly overstepped his bounds. “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States,” they wrote in their Declaration of Independence."

All of ObamaCare Needs to Go--Including the Under-26 Mandate | FreedomWorks

All of ObamaCare Needs to Go--Including the Under-26 Mandate | FreedomWorks: "Republicans are preparing their course of action as they await the Supreme Court’s highly-anticipated ruling on the constitutionality of ObamaCare. The disastrous health care overhaul bill should be declared unconstitutional, but unfortunately, not all Republicans want it to be gutted in its entirety. Some prominent Republicans are pledging to preserve the so-called most “popular” provisions even if the monstrous law is overturned.

There is a growing number of Republicans vowing to keep the “slacker mandate” in place, forcing insurance companies to provide coverage for the children of customers up until such “children” reach age 26. Speaking as a young adult under this age threshold, it is insulting that the federal government treats people in their mid-20s as children."
