Obama calls Senate rejection of his civil rights nominee 'a travesty'

In a great example of "not really thinking things all the way through before you speak", Nebraska republican senate candidate Ben Sasse says, “government cannot force citizens to violate their religious beliefs under any circumstance"...including even if those beliefs violate federal law. So under his reasoning, so-called honor killings could not be prosecuted if they were carried out for religious beliefs...employers could fire women simply for being women if their religion t ...

Food for thought: “I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people. For example, I am black. I know that. I also know that while I am black I am a human being. Therefore I have the right to go into any public place. White people don’t know that. Every time I tried to go into a public place they stopped me. So some boys had to write a bill to tell that white man, “He’s a human being; don’t stop him." That bill was for the whit ...

Those who don't like Fox News will miss a really good report by Megan Kelley with Ashley Taylor, a member of the U.S. Commission of Civil Rights. and also a former DOJ from VA. The video is there of their chat. It is important to hear and to keep following up this story that MSM does not report. "The bipartisan panel investigating allegations that the Justice Department wrongly abandoned a case against the New Black Panther Party plans to issue a new round of subpoenas and call for a separ ...

Excellent research by a fine institution! From a total of 44 U.S. Presidents, Obama has been rated as the 5th best, according to a study recently completed at The University of Michigan. The Public Relations Office at UofM released this statement: "After almost eight years in office, American academics have rated President Obama the 5th Best President in American History." These are the results according to UofM: 1. Lincoln, Reagan, and Truman tied for first place ...

Once again, I have tried, applied, and been denied from the local hospital I've been trying to get into for years. I keep seeing the same job postings for the same positions every 3-4 months and apply each time, and update my CL/resume each time as well so it is not just a cookie cutter cut and paste job. Well, I applied online Wednesday morning for a unit clerk position (again), got an email asking me to complete an assessment, which I completed Wednesday night, and now lo and behold Thurs ...

Totally disgusting they want to cut benefits from those who pay the ultimate price. The government needs to honor its contract with the troops. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ron-paul-issues-open-letter-to-president-obama-concerning-cuts-to-veterans-benefits-2011-09-20 ...

By KRISTIN M. HALL (AP) – 10 hours ago LEXINGTON, Ky. — A constant critic of President Barack Obama, Republican Rand Paul on Saturday defended the president's right to make decisions on the war in Afghanistan without interference from Congress. Without mentioning Obama by name, the U.S. Senate candidate said Congress shouldn't micromanage the war in Afghanistan and should leave the decisions on troop levels to the White House. Paul spoke Saturday in Lexington at a Fayette ...

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta about his country's gay rights record. "When you start treating people differently not because of any harm they are doing to anybody, but because they are different, that's the path whereby freedoms begin to erode," Obama said at a joint press conference with the Kenyan leader in Nairobi. "And bad things happen." Under Kenyan law, sexual activity between men is illegal and punishable with a maximum imprisonment of 14 years. Obama equated lega ...

Sen. Lieberman calls for Obama to be more involved in deficit negotiations By Alexander Bolton - 12/02/12 06:00 AM ET Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.), the independent Democrat who has played roles in past Senate compromises, says President Obama needs to get more involved in the fiscal cliff talks. Lieberman, who brought Republican senators on board with the 2009 economic stimulus package and a 2005 deal on judicial nominees, says it’s time for Obama to gather congressional leaders arou ...

Following Barack Obama’s vow to take action against Russia for its alleged hacking of the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta’s emails, WikiLeaks has suggested the president upload any documents to its whistleblowing site for verification. In a tweet on Friday from the WikiLeaks Twitter account, the whistleblowing website encouraged Obama to “submit any Putin documents” to them so they can “be authenticated to our standards if he wants them to be seen as credibl ...

OBAMA signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women fight back against pay discrimination. He understands that when women are paid less than men for the same work, it hurts the entire family. ROMNEY refused to say whether or not he would have signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law, and Paul RYAN voted against it. OBAMA believes a woman’s health care choices are personal decisions, best made with her doctor—without interference from politicians. ROMNEY believ ...

The Ferguson cop is reportedly living in hiding. These Baltimore cops will never get their lives, reputations or careers back. All of this, of course, has flowed directly from the disgustingly prejudicial attitudes, knee-jerk statements, etc. coming from the White House with respect to the police, in which there has also been absolutely no condemnation of the most outrageous and egregious behaviors of BLM and others. It's no wonder that police departments are having difficulty ...

It's been plain since the beginning of his political career that both the President and the First Lady harbor very deep-seated anti-American feelings. I realize that this is something so incomprehensible that a lot of Americans can't get their arms around the idea. An anti-American US President? It couldn't be, could it?! Well, yes it can. Most people had NO idea what they were really voting for when this man was elected, they were so caught up in electing the first black ...

Congress altogether. Paris Agreement on climate change: President Obama has just committed his most flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution to date. He purported to commit the United States to a legally binding treaty without first obtaining consent by two thirds of the Senators present, as required under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. Obama is using the United Nations to end run the Senate with regard to the Paris Agreement on climate change negotiated last December. Las ...

In one of their final acts before losing their majority to Republicans, Senate Democrats confirmed as ambassadors on Tuesday two big donors to President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign, despite a controversy overtheir qualifications. David Bryson Mamet won confirmation as envoy to Argentina in a 50-43 vote, while senators agreed 52-42 to send Colleen Bell on her way to Hungary. No Republicans voted for either nominee, and several senators misse ...

Okay, I was 17 when this happened, working the graveyard shift as a waitress in Harrah's Casino. My roommate and I didn't have a TV and her soon-to-be-ex-fiance was still proving, to himself at least, that he wasn't gay by bashing homosexuals every 20 minutes or so. So when President Obama mentioned this all I remembered, vaguely, was him ranting incessantly about this protest, without knowing a single thing about it. From NPR, and the link's to a really interesting story. " ...

Betty Jones, an elderly Navajo medicine woman, grew up among the red rock canyons, mesas, and ancient cliff dwellings of Southeastern Utah. Now, a proposed national monument may prevent her from collecting traditional herbal medicines she’s gathered all her life. Her family believes Jones is in her mid-nineties, since her birth certificate was issued after her actual birth. The proposed 1.9-million-acre Bears Ears National Monument would potentially limit her access to sacred sites and impa ...
