This is about your investments too. Why would Trump try to get rid of a rule set to go in place that would protect investors? ...

Police agencies across the country are recruiting thousands of civilians for a growing number of duties previously performed by uniformed cops, in an unusual concession to local budget cuts. The positions — some paid and others volunteer — are transforming every-day citizens into crime-scene investigators, evidence gatherers and photographers in what some analysts suggest is a striking new trend in American policing. "It's all being driven by the economy and we should ex ...

sink any lower, a UN panel has issued a report recommending that the United States pay “reparations” to African-Americans for its “legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality.” The report accuses the United States of maintaining “institutional and structural racial discrimination and racism against people of African descent.” The panel that issued this claptrap is the self-styled Working Group of Experts on ...

A group of executives who want to fight global warming has published a new report calling for countries to spend up to $600 billion a year over the next two decades to boost green energy deployment and energy efficiency equipment. The Energy Transitions Commission’s (ETC) report claims “additional investments of around $300-$600 billion per annum do not pose a major macroeconomic challenge,” which they say will help the world meet the goals laid out in the Paris agreement. ETC is mad ...

(I personally wouldn't mind if Geithner was fired. Too much of the fox guarding the hen house going on here.) Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner should testify before Congress about efforts by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to limit American International Group Inc.’s disclosures of payments to banks, a House Democrat said. Representative Elijah Cummings of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee called for an investigation and hearing into what in ...

I certainly don’t want anyone robbed at gunpoint. Not even to a local leader of the Black Lives Matters movement despite the Black Lives Matter movement having taken on an anti-police call to action. There is great irony, however, when such a leader then also calls for more police protection, as happened recently in Houston with Jerry Ford, Jr. ...

Florida’s three largest newspapers – the Miami Herald, the Tampa Bay Times and the Orlando Sentinel – just called for a federal investigation of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s payoff to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, which forced the Republican nominee to pay an IRS fine and re-ignited media coverage of the Trump University scam and cover up. To date, 827 Floridians have joined the New York Attorney General’s lawsuit against Donald Trump. ...

Now, they are attacking their own. I feel for Senator Graham. His sexuality is his business and no one elses.William Gheen, head of the conservative, anti-"amnesty," anti-illegal immigration group Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), spoke at a Greenville, S.C. Tea Party rally this weekend and called for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to "come out of that log cabin closet."According to Gheen, being gay is "a secret that Lindsey Graham has." Gheen told the crowd: "I hope this secret it isn ...

http://conservativefiringline.com/white-house-petition-demands-soros-owned-voting-machines-removed/ Petition gets over 100,000 signatures in six days, triggering White House review. The petition, which can be seen here, reads: This man has been linked to a person’s campaign who is running in the election and has a clear bias to one candidate. His ownership of voting machines in 16 states is clear breach of integrity of our electoral system. Concerns about the election have increa ...

If Hillary is too weak to give a 2-minute speech without a lectern to lean on, she has no business trying to lead this country for 4 years. Being president requires strength and stamina, 2 things she apparently doesn’t have. Electing Clinton as the next president would be downright dangerous. We shouldn’t be electing someone who might not be healthy enough to serve out her full term. ...

By Stephen C. WebsterMonday, February 8th, 2010 -- 8:09 pm Insurer spent nearly $9.5 million lobbying against health reforms; CEO's annual salary tops $10 million It's an issue that strikes at the core of America's health reform debate: How much should one have to pay to ensure their health care needs are met? Now take that price and inflate it by up to 39 percent -- just to get a feel for what it is like to be one of roughly 800,000 Anthem Blue Cross customers in California wh ...

Jesus came to the world at a time when the popular Jewish understanding of "the Messiah" was as One who would intervene (supernaturally) in the governing affairs of men, overthrow the Roman overlords and establish God's Kingdom on earth. In some ways, the Jews were expecting their version of the Muslim caliphate. But the legions of God's angels weren't coming to rescue the Jews and establish a divine government. Instead, Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world."&n ...

with statement "We don't want Planned Parenthood here." Don't worry. It is not a republican attempt to roll back women's rights. It is just a coincidence Romney said same thing this week. ...

The King decided he would agree to meet with Rick Perry after all - but only on the tarmac when his plane landed. I believe RP said something along the lines of go to hell. The King promised a more substantial meeting. ...

In a stunning Friday (isn't it always?) revelation, we found out that yet another key figure from Hillary Clinton's "rat pack" -- her former chief-of-staff Cheryl Mills - was given immunity in the email server investigation. As Ed Morrissey points out, that makes "at least five" -- who knows how many there really are -- who have received this treatment. So far that's techies Bryan Pagliano and Paul Combetta (more of him in a moment), John Bentel of the Office of Information Re ...

Texas Can’t Afford To Buy New Far-Right Textbooks, But Rick Perry Still Resists Federal Aid For the past year, far-right members of the Texas Board of Education have been overhauling the state’s textbook standards. The changes include “pushing for inclusion of more…Confederate glorification,” re-naming the Atlantic slave trade the “Atlantic Triangle Trade,” prioritizing “a suggestion that the anti-communist witch-hunt by Senator Joseph McC ...

July 1 to pass abortion restrictions. He can't let the mob rule. :) You go, Rick. Maybe they can learn to practice old fashioned BC methods (where no one gets murdered). ...

Hallelujah! Thank God. Can I get an amen? Woo-hoo! Music to my ears! This is better news than 2012 election results! Calls for a celebration! ...

I've really heard it all now. The GOP Tea Party thinks it's perfectly fine for their "golden boy" from Texas to abuse his power and use coercion to force an elected official in Texas to resign from office or he would withhold funds. Rick Perry publicly stated: "I don’t think the citizens of Texas can trust you with $7.5 million dollars, so I am not going to give you $7.5 million dollars of Texans money. You resign, and we will pass the money to the office, but ...

A nuclear waste incident with bozos in chief. That's reassuring http://www.hanford.gov/c.cfm/eoc/?page=290 ...

about the Libya attack. As news is uncovered, it's clear that the infamous video had nothing to do with the killing of our ambassador, and the WH knew it. They still arrested an American citizen as a method to cover up their incompetency. This is serious business. ...

Tea Party versus IRS. Case closed without interviewing one witness. They really are amazing, aren't they? ...

Don't know if Perry's behind it or not, but it's not implausible given that Cain appears to be a stronger candidate than Perry is, IMHO. ...

"...fundamental scientific truths are agreed upon by the vast, overwhelming majority of scientists who study those particular fields, because of the vast, overwhelming evidence in those particular fields supporting them. It's important that we teach this to young students, as well as how to understand what constitutes real evidence as opposed to ideological zealotry."
