    WHO PAID FOR RACE-BAITING FLIER IN MISSISSIPPI? Smear of Tea Party and McDaniel needs investigation. By Jeffrey Lord Who paid for it? Who will investigate it? Who will apologize for it? “It” being the flier distributed in the Mississippi Senate GOP primary, as seen here, whose headline reads: "The Tea Party intends to prevent blacks from voting on Tuesday." The flier says that the Tea Party uses the word “Democrats” as “code” for blacks. In short? Somebody out there in Mississippi put out a race-baiting flier to smear both Thad Cochran’s Tea Party opponent Chris McDaniel and the Tea Party...
  • From Redskins,To Braves,Indians.What Next?Breeds Of Pets?Say Goodbye To "Shih-Tzu's"?

    Well if "Redskins" is an offensive name,then why isn't Shih-Tzu's?Those poor dogs have to live with that "Curse-Word Name"for all of their lives.Who knows,by the end of the year,when the far left has changed the names of about 12 sports teams,they will eventually get to names of animal breeds.There must be at least one racially charged name for most household pet breeds.Like "Bitch"!So for those of you out there with a "Shih-Tzu" or a "Pussy-Cat",you may have to change your pets ID tag if they have their way come 2015.

    PJ Tattler ^ | June 25, 2014 | Bryan Preston
    They’re adults. They had to be told this? It wasn’t part of their upbringing? I know that most EPA workers are urban liberals, but were they raised in barns? Management for Region 8 in Denver, Colo., wrote an email earlier this year to all staff in the area pleading with them to stop inappropriate bathroom behavior, including defecating in the hallway. In the email, obtained by Government Executive, Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor mentioned “several incidents” in the building, including clogging the toilets with paper towels and “an individual placing feces in the hallway” outside the restroom. Confounded by what...

    A bid request posted to a website for federal contractors in January indicates that the federal government was aware of a heavy influx of children coming to the U.S. illegally.But the Department of Homeland Security, through its immigration and border protection agencies, has only recently began publicly addressing the surge of Unaccompanied Children, or UACs, that have traveled to the U.S., many of whom have been apprehended at the U.S. border.Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security, posted a bid request for “Escort Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children” on Jan. 29 at the site, FedBizOpps.gov,...

    Bustle ^ | June 11, 2014 | Seth Millstein
    President Obama has been referred to as “Dad-In-Chief” on more than one occasion, and this Father’s Day will likely be no exception. Not only because he’s a devoted and vocal family man, but also because the president’s demeanor is very dad-like. Remember how, during his very first speech as president-elect, he announced that he’d finally given into his daughter’s pleading and acquired a family dog? And have you seen his choice of jeans? Or the way he pumps iron at the gym? There’s no doubt, Obama has most definitely earned his nickname. Even President Obama’s political style has been inspired...

    Al Arabiya ^ | June 18, 2014
    Some oil companies are pulling foreign staff from Iraq, fearing Sunni militants from the north could strike at major oilfields concentrated in the Shi'ite south despite moves by the Baghdad government to tighten security. Iraqi officials say the southern regions that produce some 90 percent of the country's oil are completely safe from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which has seized much of the north in a week as Baghdad's forces there collapsed. The government says 100,000 police dedicated to protecting oil facilities are on high alert and well armed. But oil firms are taking no chances...

    Michigan Capitol Confidential ^ | 6/16/2014 | Jack Spencer
    Republican control of Michigan’s government didn’t prevent a minimum wage increase and an increase in taxes may be coming to fix Michigan’s roads. That’s left many wondering whether the GOP got outmaneuvered or was painted into a corner to prevent a minimum wage ballot initiative that would have been worse. It was both, combined with plenty of politics, wrote Joseph Lehman, president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, and Michael LaFaive, director of fiscal policy at the Center, in a recent Wall Street Journal column: Careful economic analysis did not lead the Michigan GOP to hike the minimum wage....
