Stopping the EPA's aggression

Now that the GOP has taken over the House of Representatives, and will most likely take over the Senate in 2012, they appear to be gearing up to reign in the EPA's aggression by using a rarely used law called the the Congressional Review Act. The CRA was created in 1996 that allows Congress to veto regulatory changes that were created in the Executive branch agencies, such as the EPA.

According to GOP lawmakers, they intend to turn the EPA on its ear to include using the CRA. It allows the GOP to do an end run on democrats, because it allows them to skip Senate filibusters; which means that the GOP doesn't have to negotiate with Harry Reid to bring a vote to the floor to secure a 60 vote majority.

Due to the historic upset in the House, it's likely that some democrat lawmakers may support the GOP's efforts in curtailing the EPA's contentious regulations. With a year to go until the next election cycle, many of these democrats are supporting the effort for fear of losing their seats.

Whatever the case is, it seems that GOP lawmakers are prepared to use whatever means necessary to put the out of control EPA on a short leash.

We'll see.

Obama admin hands out 111 Obamacare waivers

Proof that Obamacare is a jobs killer. Unions and franchises are fighting to get waivers to keep their businesses going as the White House handing out 111 waivers to businesses and companies, so they are not required to have it and escaping any penalties as mandated by the jobs killing legislation.

And locating the list of waivers isn't exactly easy to find, which means staffers buried it deep on the White House website to hide it; you have to click no less than six links to see it.

A message for Joe McGinniss: Go pound sand

H/T to Weasel Zippers and a courtesy to Slate

Talk about irony. This dirtbag has shown what it means to be the epitome of what a hypocrite is. Hey, Joe. If you can't take the heat and all that jazz. Talk about being at the bottom rung of evolutional society.

RE: “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” // Invasion of Privacy of Joe McGinniss

Dear Ms. O’Neill, Mr. Sabin, Mr. Zaslav, Mr. Ligouri and Mr. Burnett:

This law firm represents Joe McGinniss. It has come to our attention that the first episode (titled “Mamma Grizzly”) of the above referenced television show, scheduled to air on Sunday, November 14, 2010 at 9:00 PM on TLC, contains unauthorized videotaped images of Mr. McGinniss which were obtained without his knowledge or consent. In addition, you have already placed a video clip containing this image of Mr. McGinniss on your website and it has been picked up and reproduced by the Huffington Post and many other online sites.

Mr. McGinniss was not asked if any production crew could videotape him as he read a book on the secluded deck of the house he was living in at that time. He was not aware that any camera crew was in fact videotaping him. Mr. McGinniss had a reasonable expectation of privacy under those circumstances. The mere taking of the video therefore gives rise to an actionable claim for invasion of his privacy. The publication of the video on your website and in the television show constitutes an additional wrong – the unauthorized use of the likeness of Mr. McGinniss. Finally, the manner in which Ms. Palin describes Mr. McGinniss in the episode is defamatory: Mr. McGinniss has never invaded the Palins’ privacy, contrary to the many statements made by Ms. Palin and her husband, both prior to this television production, and now repeated in the episode referenced above.

DEMAND IS HEREBY MADE upon each of you that all images of Mr. McGinniss be removed from any television show produced by any of you, and removed from any website controlled or operated by any of you. If you do not do so, Mr. McGinniss will be forced to pursue all his available remedies. Please confirm in writing by November 12, 2010, to this office that you will remove these images.

Mr. McGinniss reserves all of his rights.

If you would like to discuss any of the above, contact this office.

Very truly yours,

Tides CEO to FoxNews advertisers: Drop Glenn Beck Or Have Blood On Your Hands

As much as I have disdain for the apparatchiks at the Huffington Post, I think this is worthy of posting.

It would seem that Glenn Beck must be on the right track, or why else would Drummond Pike threaten violence? Allegedly, Pike and his organization were recently targeted by Byron Williams, a mentally deranged nutcase and "assassin" who claimed to be inspired by Beck exposing Tides.

“To say we were ‘shocked’ does not adequately describe our reaction. Imagine, for a moment, that you were us and, had it not been for a sharp eyed highway patrolman, a heavily armed man in full body armor would have made it to your office with the intent to kill you and your colleagues. His motive? Apparently, it was because the charitable, nonpartisan programs we run are deemed part of a conspiracy to undermine America and the capitalist system, which is hogwash.”

Nonpartisan? Yeah, right. I wonder how many Republican organizations they've funded?

So, let me get this straight. This Byron Williams, who apparently is mentally unstable, makes an attempt to assassinate Drummond Pike and blames Glenn Beck? This coming from people who could have easily blamed the hostage situation at the Discovery Channel on Al Gore, but didn't.

Keep it up, Glenn. You know you have somebody cornered when violence is all they have left.

Boxer, Waxman, Code Pink treachery heating up

The Daily Caller has finally picked up the story of US senators and their treasonous actions when they gave diplomatic letters to Code Pink anti war activists to enter Fallujah, Iraq with $600,000 worth of aid to terrorists that killed Americans during an operation there in 2004.

The Daily Caller

Two top California legislators are coming under fire after new evidence has emerged that they helped a group of radical antiwar activists cross the Iraqi-Jordanian border in order to deliver aid to families of enemy insurgents in the war-ridden Iraqi city of Fallujah. In December 2004, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) and Rep. Henry Waxman (D) each sent letters of diplomatic courtesy to the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan, requesting assistance for members of the radical group Global Exchange and the antiwar group Palisadians for Peace.

After being exposed, Islamic website pulls article showing Senator Boxer aiding Fallujah terrorists

Gateway Pundit is breaking a story that Barbara Boxer approved a Code Pink trip to Fallujah to donate $600,000 to extremists to murder US soldiers

It seems that Code Pink was able to secure diplomatic courtesy letters that allowed them to travel to Fallujah, Iraq in 2004 to donate $600,000 worth of humanitarian aid to the people who had killed 51 Americans and wounded 561.

Below is a screen capture of the page that was yanked from the Islamic website after it was exposed. Click the image to enlarge.



The paragraph in question:

Secured diplomatic courtesy letters from US Senators Barbara Boxer of California and Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Congressmen Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and Henry Waxman of California.

It's no secret that Senator Ma'am has very close ties to Code Pink.

Uh oh! Trouble in Scranton, PA

The lead in to this story sounds like the beginning of a joke, unfortunately, the punch line isn't so funny. It smacks of intimidation, arm twisting and downright thuggery. You would think that if Obamacare was so popular as he claims, bullying hospitals wouldn't be necessary.

A mushrooming political battle over ObamaCare involving the White House, two incumbent Pennsylvania congressmen, three Catholic hospitals and a nun has just exploded in, of all places, Scranton, Pennsylvania. Charges from the Scranton medical community of intimidation by the Obama White House and its allies are filling the air.

Mike Pence: Odds are looking good of SCOTUS smackdown of Obamacare

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), the third-ranking House Republican, who serves as conference chairman, said he saw enough votes on the high court to strike a blow to President Obama's signature domestic initiative.

"It's going to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court's going to decide whether or not the Constitution of the United States permits the government to order the American people to purchase goods or services, whether they want them or need them or not," Pence said Friday on WLS radio in Indiana.

Guess who's coming to dinner? Why, it's your friendly Hamas terrorist.

You just can't make this stuff up.

It would seem that on September 27, the FBI escorted known Hamas operative and and unindicted co-conspirator in the landmark Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial, Kifah Mustapha through the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and the FBI's training center at Quantico during a six-week "Citizen's Academy", hosted by the FBI as "outreach" to the Muslim community.

According to Diana West at Townhall,

"The plugs had to be pulled on our (watch) system" just to get Mustapha in the NCTC door, Poole, writing online at Big Peace, quoted a Department of Homeland Security official as saying. After all, "the NCTC has Kifah Mustapha on the highest watch list we have."

I searched for that quote on Big Peace and I couldn't find it anywhere. If someone locates it, please send it to me.

Gloria Allred all but admits her agenda

It seems that Gloria Allred is a glutton for punishment. Greta schooled her, yet again. Once you watch the video, it becomes quite clear what Gloria Allred's agenda is.

“I think she would have been a lot smarter to talk to a lawyer who worried about whether she would be deported than some sort of public statement on someone running for office… You know what Gloria? The first thing for a lawyer to do is to protect the client not throw the client out to the wolves. If you can’t protect the client you shouldn’t do the job… You can’t just keep making this stuff up.”

That's right, Gloria. A lawyers primary goal is to protect the client. Which begs the question as to why you threw her to the wolves when you outed Mrs. Santillan.

Hot off of Gretawire

The Hollywood, publicity hound lawyer, Gloria Allred and Meg Whitman's former housekeeper has filed a $6,210 lawsuit (Yes, you read that right).

As Greta has posted on her blog, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered, but, my question is who's paying Gloria Allred's fee? I seriously doubt that she's doing it pro bono, that doesn't appear to be her style.



The moral of the story here seems to be that Republicans should scrutinize everyone before they hire them, particularly if they're running for public office. It seems that if said applicant is an illegal alien and has falsified documents and is hired, they can sue you.

A political tsunami in November?

According to a new Gallup poll, it's not looking too good for democrats this November.

On its generic ballot question, it asks, "which party’s candidates would you vote for in the election for House of Representatives?" Among registered voters Gallup shows Republicans ahead by 46%-42%. What's even more interesting is Gallup's numbers on both the high and low end models:

On the high turnout,Republicans lead 53%-40%. Under its low turnout Republicans lead 56%-38%.



What these numbers mean is nothing short of a repeat of 1994 and possibly even 1894. Politics being the way it is, as well as the amount of pissed off Americans there are, who knows what can happen.

UK eugenesist - Suffering children should be smothered

If this doesn't shock you, then you are heartless.

Miss Ironside said: ‘If a baby’s going to be born severely disabled or totally unwanted, surely an abortion is the act of a loving mother.’
She added: ‘If I were the mother of a suffering child – I mean a deeply suffering child – I would be the first to want to put a pillow over its face… If it was a child I really loved, who was in agony, I think any good mother would.’

Lindsey Graham Betrayed - Obama regime tanks bipartisan shot at Cap and Tax

Courtesy The Daily Caller

In a remarkable story in the New Yorker, journalist Ryan Lizza reveals that President Obama, who frequently complains about the intransigence of congressional Republicans, may have tanked action on one of his top priorities by spurning the pivotal Republican senator negotiating the bill.

Lizza’s story, which provides new details about negotiations between key Washington insiders, threatens to alter the conventional wisdom that Obama has encountered lockstep Republican intransigence at every turn.

In fact, Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham spent months negotiating with the liberal Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and the more moderate independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut in pursuit of a cap-and-trade bill loathed by conservatives.

Cap-and-trade is one way government could limit the amount of greenhouse gas emissions scientists say are warming the planet.

But at a pivotal moment, the White House betrayed Graham by leaking details of the negotiations in a way particularly damaging to Graham politically, Lizza reports.

Leftists leave our nation's capital looking like a landfill

When people left Glenn Beck's 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally, they left it cleaner than before they arrived. On the leftists 10/2 No Nation Rally, they left it looking something similar to a landfill. Of course, we wouldn't expect anything less from socialist union members.









I mean really? Should anything else be expected from people that don't care about anyone else but themselves?

One Nation astroturf rally a bust?

It was supposed to rival Glenn Beck's 8/28 Restoring Honor rally, but the head of the AFL-CIO Tweeted this image.



Looks rather dismal. Here is a picture from the 8/28 Restoring honor rally and you decide.



Guess they didn't pay union members enough astroturf money to show up.

The Great One excoriates Gloria Allred

The left has always screamed that illegals should be allowed to work freely in this country. Currently there is about 12 million illegal aliens in the US, yet one out of these 12 million just happened to have worked for Meg Whitman, who is currently campaigning for the California gubernatorial race.

So, the question is why aren't the left screaming at Gloria Allred for going after Meg Whitman hiring an apparent illegal alien?

Listen to Mark Levin excoriate Gloria Allred.

2 Abortionists Caught Storing Dozens of Unborn Babies in Freezer

From Gateway Pundit

Police raided the offices of two Maryland abortionists and found dozens of unborn babies in a freezer.

Maryland has suspended the licenses of two doctors and ordered another to stop practicing in the state. (WJZ)

The NC Register reported, via Free Republic:

Two abortionists in Maryland (Dr. Steven Brigham and Dr. Nicola Riley) were ordered to stop practicing abortions in Maryland after a woman was severely injured.

Subsequently, police raided the clinic searching for medical records and to their horror they discovered dozens of unborn babies stored in a freezer.

After being shocked and disgusted my mind raced back to an incident a few months ago.

This would be a strange and horrible story if it had never happened before but just a few months ago another abortionist, this one in Philadelphia, was discovered to be keeping aborted babies in jars.

The offices of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell were raided earlier this year after a woman was injured and they found the conditions of the clinic to be “deplorable and unsanitary.”

Authorities reported: “There was blood on the floor, and parts of aborted fetuses were displayed in jars.”

Watch: Chris Christie tells it like it is

Governor Chris Christie tells it like it is in regards to why New Jersey didn't get the federal funding for the Race to the Top. No yelling, screaming, pontificating...just tells it like it is.
