Defense Secretary pick will be a challenge for Obama

Anthony Foxx, mayor of Charlotte, has issued a city proclamation for "A Day of Reason." Penny Nance, evidently an opponent of reason, argues on Fox news that reason gives way to moral relativism, which is what caused the holocaust: "You know the Age of Enlightenment and Reason gave way to moral relativism. And moral relativism is what led us all the way down the dark path to the Holocaust." ...

Don't understand this Congress. They confirm her as Commerce Secretary but she had co-ownership of Superior Bank, a Chicago-area thrift which failed in 2001 after losing millions of dollars on risky mortgage loans to borrowers with bad credit. Pritzker told the Senate Commerce Committee she felt “very badly” about the failure of the thrift. Don't you think It’s hypocritical for Obama to nominate Cabinet members who benefit from offshore tax ...

Hilary Clinton, presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and all the countries and aid agencies of the world for stepping up when it counts to aid our fellow humans who need our support and will need it for many days to come. The devastation is unimaginable. I think that the nation's collective belief in God and his good grace is what is sustaining them right now. Text your $10, or more if you can afford it. ...

She calls her departure “one of the most difficult decisions” she has made. “Growing up in a large Mexican-American family in La Puente, Cali ...

Obama administration offers to pay legal costs for defense contractors as incentive for delaying layoff notices Using our tax dollars! "These days, they’re pressuring companies to keep quiet about layoffs that will occur when sequestration kicks in, and Lockheed has buckled: "Defense contractor Lockheed Martin heeded a request from the White House today – one with political overtones – and announced it will not issue layoff notices to thousands of employees just days before the ...

Defense: $2 trillion divides Obama and Romney CNN Money: "The United States is by far the biggest spender on defense -- accounting for 41% of worldwide military expenditures in 2011, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Indeed, last year Americans spent more than all the other countries in the top 10 list combined, including five times more than China, the No. 2 spender. U.S. spends more on defense than any other country, and the defense budget would b ...

Dems wasted their time for the 24 hours against her. I'd also like to know since when is a filibuster a "talkathon?" It was always a filibuster before. They blocked the voting process yesterday and spoke all night and into this morning before the vote.Again, DeVos made it with VP Pence's vote to break the tie. i find the Dems to be quite disgusting but at least they're showing their true colors, backed by the Teacher's Unions. Too bad they care more for the votes instea ...

Hillary Clinton's statement when asked about her accomplishments as Secretary of State. "My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know, the remnants of prior situations and mind sets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture, and we didn't do that, and I'm proud of that. Very pr ...

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

is in the regulatory crosshairs of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. She says she's had enough of their 'price-gouging' ways, and plans to 'reign in' their consumer-harming policies. If you believe that, there's a bridge in the middle of nowhere to buy. The fact is, neither is Clinton going to "reign in" drug companies, nor is there a widespread problem with "price-gouging," as she claims. The truth lies somewhere in-between, but make no mistake ab ...

So it's not over yet. Washington (CNN) -- Now that the House has passed the Senate's health care reform bill and a package meant to reconcile differences between the House and Senate bills, the next step is for members of the Senate to sign off on those changes. That won't be as easy as it sounds. Senate Republicans have indicated they will use any and all legislative tactics in order to slow -- even stop -- the reconciliation bill from passing. President Obama is expected to ...

in person, individually. This is how it should be done. Sort of like deciding whether to attend the visitation or making the home visit to a close friend. That trouncing down the street in solidarity was a show for the world, with little meaning. It might have been reassuring for the French, but the U.S. lack of participation or to what degree didn't affect the average person on the street. The government recognized what was important and those concerns ...

U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson, a judge in the U.S. District Court in Richmond, Va., has ruled against Obama administration efforts to have the suit, Cuccinelli vs. Sebelius, (Civil Action Number 3:10CV188-HEH) dismissed.

I just love it. Does this mean the federal law is also wrong and they need to sue themselves???? Accordingly, (which I have not researched yet), the federal law allows the states to implement laws following the federal guidelines. I'll see what I can dig up. A team of Justice Department attorneys has written a recommendation challenging the Arizona immigration law. The draft recommendation, part of an ongoing Justice Department review, concludes the Arizona legislature exceede ...

It's based on a states' rights power grab that would remove federal oversight of changes in voting laws. Sorry. After what we just witnessed, this doesn't sound like the best of ideas. ...

I hope someone who has done hospital billing might be more familiar with how that works and can explain this to me. So, I had to have emergency surgery. Since I was laid off 2 years ago and have not been able to find a full-time job that offers insurance, I have no medical insurance at all. The surgery was done by an M.D., and her assistant was a PA-C. I always assumed that an M.D. Surgeon charges the most and any assistant would bill at a lower rate, especially if she ...

I'm just curious how the president and the attorney general can decide which laws to defend and which ones not to. Whether you agree with this law or not, it is a law and to be repealed, it has to go through certain channels, not just being ignored by the WH. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110223/ap_on_re_us/us_gay_marriage ...

January 01, 2010 In Defense of ProfilingBy Chuck HustmyreLet's get one thing straight right up front: Profiling is an effective tool.We do it with serial killers all the time. Why not terrorists? Because it's discrimination. Therefore, it must be evil. Wrong.According to my World Book dictionary, discriminate means "to see or note a difference; (to) make a distinction."When I choose steak over fish, I discriminate. When I decide to see one movie and not another, I discriminate. We make ...

John Bolton: The war on terror is not over. Al Qaeda has not been defeated. The struggle is spreading and if we don’t face up to that reality we’re going to have another attack on an American embassy that will be even more successful from the terrorist point of view. … We have no strategy! That’s why I’ve been so concerned that the whole sweep from the Atlantic coast of West Africa, through the Middle East, all the way over to Pakistan is deteriorating from the perspective ...

press corps is told that President John F. Kennedy has a cold; in reality, he is holding secret meetings with advisors on the eve of ordering a blockade of Cuba. Kennedy was in Seattle and scheduled to attend the Seattle Century 21 World’s Fair when his press secretary announced that he had contracted an “upper respiratory infection.” The president then flew back to Washington, where he supposedly went to bed to recover from his cold. Four days earlier, Kennedy had seen photographic ...
