How refreshing to see gutsy city officials follow their conscience. (Reuters) - A top adviser to Oakland Mayor Jean Quan resigned on Monday over the city's handling of anti-Wall Street demonstrations, describing a morning raid to clear a downtown protest camp as a mistake that could trigger more volatility. Civil rights attorney Dan Siegel told Reuters he resigned at 2 a.m., hours before the raid on the Occupy Oakland encampment, after insisting that police should protect, not disma ...

This is a video from MSNBC. Don't know how many saw the excerpts on other stations, but I gotta give MSNBC credit for a change on the Morning Joe show for having a true discussion on it instead of nasty remarks. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/donald-trump-fails-correct-man-who-calls-obama-muslim ...

Low Intergroup Contact."

Houston has become the largest US city to elect an openly gay mayor. The new mayor did not make a secret or an issue of her orientation, but people working in her opponent's campaign did and I think it backfired on them. It would be nice to think that the age of smear campaigns is over, but I won't be that naive. It is heartening to see such fail, though. Yay Houston for electing on the issues and not on scare tactics. NJ ...

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/atlantic-city-mayor-disputes-nj-governor-17596711 Apparently Governor Christie said to evacuate and the mayor thought it wasn't necessary. Um...okay. I'm sure those who listened to Christie are thankful they did evacuate. That was some scary stuff. Makes me thankful I don't like close to the coastline. By the time the remnant of any hurricane reaches me...it is just gusty wind and some rain. My hear ...

Republican Mayor Adam O'Neal walked from Belhaven, NC to D.C to protest the state's refusal to expand Medicaid under the ACA. The state's refusal to expand Medicaid has affected 500,000 people, Democrats and Republicans.

In his address to the issue he referred to the subject of police and the black population by describing how he has to warn his own son, that while the police are to be respected and they are thankful for them, but specifically as a black youth, he has to be extra careful, moreso than a white teen. This guy is way beyond Gov Nixon's level, but I suppose the Mayor of New York City should be. Then he repeated the speech in Spanish. Good for him. I hope they keep it u ...

While I agree with some things said, I totally disagree with giving all illegals a "pathway to citizenship." http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/york-mayor-bloomberg-immigration-jobs-lebron-james-11071170 But, as I delve into more and more of this information, I found this problem with the current system with those applying legally to come to this country.

Rahm Emanuel expected to quit White House Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is expected to leave his job in six to eight months after growing tired of the "idealism" of Barack Obama's inner circle. Washington insiders say they believe he could depart not long after crucial elections in November. Mr Emanuel, 50, enjoys a good working relationship with Mr Obama but they are understood to have reached an understanding that differences over style mean he will serve only hal ...

It iis a federal crime for anyone to either aid someone to enter the country illegally OR TO ASSIST THEM TO REMAIN in the country illegally. I'd like to see criminal charges brought against a few of these scofflaw city officials. They can join their precious illegals in jail for awhile and then we'll see how much they like that sanctuary policy. I never in a million years would have thought I'd ever see such brazen lawlessness in this country. We're not Colombi ...

Bloomberg said Thursday that Hurricane Sandy had reshaped his thinking about the presidential campaign and that as a result, he was endorsingPresident Obama. “The devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of the Northeast — in lost lives, lost homes and lost business — brought the stakes of next Tuesday’s presidential election into sharp relief,” Mr. Bloomberg wrote in an ...

Big Bird should be called Bird Brain. New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio said in an interview Monday that he would categorize drunk driving “that doesn’t lead to any other negative outcome” a minor offense. DeBlasio was asked on CNN about New York’s stance as a sanctuary city and its refusal to turn over illegal immigrants who commit minor offenses. He said that he did not want to “see families torn apart” over something very minor. He was asked if he considered gran ...

Leland Yee Arrest Makes 3 Scandals In 3 Months For California State Senate Democrats SACRAMENTO (CBS / AP) — So far in 2014, each month has brought news of another arrest or conviction of a Democratic California state senator. One senator was convicted of voter fraud and perjury, and two others face federal charges for alleged misdeeds that include accepting large financial bribes for friends and family in exchange for legislation and orchestrating weap ...

Top aides to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio reportedly urged his political allies to blast the city's police union and rank-and-file officers for turning their backs on the mayor during the funeral for one of two NYPD cops assassinated earlier this month.

The liberal wing of the Democratic Party can be susceptible to the “moral victory” fallacy, which in its most degraded form considers a righteous loser preferable to a compromised winner. All the same, it’s hard not to interpret Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Pyrrhic victory on Tuesday as a major win for the party’s economically populist wing. After all, this is Chicago we’re talking about; incumbent mayors expect to be coronated, not subjected to the indignity ...

When a group of imams tried to bring a form of “Shariah light” to Texas, they met an unlikely foe – Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne. Now, Van Duyne has been thrust into the national media spotlight, and her city is being called “ground zero” in the battle to prevent Islamic law from gaining a foothold, no matter how small, in the U.S. legal system. Van Duyne’s name and picture has popped up on Facebook pages and Twitter feeds across America in recent days, casti ...

(That was last week. Anonymous Romney insiders then followed this discussion of Ryan's possible "post-Mitt Romney future" by telling Politico Ryan wasn't their first choice, Chris Christie was. Okay. Well, tomorrow aside, those who've been wondering how Ryan's felt about being shuffled to the background like an ugly cousin at a fancy wedding may have a clue in this "leak" to the AP. Also, that they're not nearly as optimistic as they'd like to be at this p ...

hate to do. I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week. Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor’s office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn’t have any time to spare. As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, bu ...

Last Update: June 12, 2014 575 US troops died in Afghanistan during the Bush presidency. By August 18, 2010, following two troop surges initiated by President Obama, that number had doubled. Today, over 1500 US troops have died in Afghanistan since President Obama took office—and yet, little in that war-torn country has changed. These numbers should give us pause. While the Administration has publicly conceded that there is no military solution in Afghanistan, and claimed that it support ...
