From online story on budget bill: "Democrats also had to accept some $12 billion in cuts to military and federal pensions to help pay for the sequester relief, but they have argued the sequester was bad, too." -- Yeah, and as they voted, they pleaded for Republican's to please don't throw them into the briar patch.

Online story: "A massive cross that serves as part of a war memorial on a San Diego hilltop must be dismantled because it has been found to violate a constitutional ban on government endorsement of religion, a federal judge grudgingly ruled on Thursday. * The decision by U.S. District Judge Larry Burns marks the latest development in a long-running legal battle over the 43-foot-tall cross, a local landmark that has stood on top of Mount Soledad since 1954 and is visible for miles. * Burns stayed his order to give the Obama administration and the association that erected the cross, which have fought its removal all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, a chance to file another appeal. Otherwise, he said, the monument must be taken down within 90 days. * "This is a victory for religious liberty," said Daniel Mach, director of the American Civil Liberties Union" -- "This is a victory for religious liberty"? You gotta be kidding me... It's not a victory for ANY religion when ANY religion gets persecuted... especially the largest. Who are smaller religions going to have stand up for them when the persecution starts on them?

Online story: "Since he founded the Center for American Progress a decade ago, John Podesta has built the liberal think tank into a fundraising juggernaut that rakes in between $30 million and $40 million a year from donors. * But as Podesta enters the West Wing in the role of counselor to President Barack Obama, the White House and CAP are being forced to examine the awkward relationship between the donors he’s courted and the public policy decisions they want from the president." -- You know, it's time that new regulations concerning 501 (c) 4 & 5 organizations become more restricted. A good start would prevent such organizations from paying salaries from donations received.

NY Times story: " Chemical weapons were used repeatedly in the Syria conflict this year, not only in a well-documented Aug. 21 attack near Damascus but also in four other instances, including two subsequent attacks that targeted soldiers, the United Nations said in a report released Thursday." -- Does anyone actually believe ASSwad has come clean with disclosing all his sites for storing chemical weapons? Does anyone truly believe he want use them again? No & No.... For an easier question to answer, does anyone believe Judas 00-bama will cross the line drawn in the sand?

Latest from www.barackobama/organizingforaction.com : "When their constituents voted last year, the districts that Rep. Mike Coffman (CO-6) and Rep. Illeana Ros-Lehtinen (FL-27) represent voted to endorse the agenda supported by President Obama. * And Reps. John Culberson (TX-7), Michael McCaul (TX-10), Ed Royce (CA-39), and Buck McKeon (CA-25) all represent districts with a large and growing Latino population -- a population that's disproportionately affected by our broken immigration system. * These members of Congress are in a position to affect change on this issue -- all they have to do is pressure leaders in the House to simply hold a vote." -- :When their constituents voted last year.... (they) voted to endorse the agenda supported by President Obama"? Huh? I think the voters voted for those Congresspersons for their insight AGAINST Judas 00-bama's agenda... at least that's what the poll results showed.

McClatchy story: "A routine daily press briefing at the White House turned raucous Thursday as reporters complained to Press Secretary Jay Carney about the lack of access to President Barack Obama. * The issue took on renewed urgency this week when the White House released official photographs of Obama and former President George W. Bush aboard Air Force One on the trip to Nelson Mandela's memorial service. News photographers were also aboard the plane, but were not allowed access." -- Guess the White House stopped serving the kool-aid along with the usual pap.

Online story: "When Washington state begins selling legal marijuana next year, Democratic Rep. Denny Heck figures it will result in an infusion of $1 billion a year to the economy --- all in cash. * At a House hearing on Thursday, the Washington state Democrat told Treasury Secretary Jack Lew that the federal government needs to allow the state's new pot businesses to use banking services. That's currently illegal, since marijuana is still banned under federal law. * Heck says the businesses are sure to become targets for thieves." -- Hmmm, guess Washington drug dealers will be between "a stash and a high place". You have to wonder how credit card dispensers will go for this... do they want card holders who have to choose between paying a minimum payment or buying another joint? Do the businesses want tougher gun controls or armed guards in their stores? Getting what you want ain't always what you thought you were getting,

L-E story: "With help from state and federal authorities, Columbus police have expanded an investigation that uncovered what they say is a series of violations at a licensed group care home and an unlicensed facility that took in disabled patients. * Police Sgt. Mark Richards said the collaborative investigation sends a resounding message that elderly and disabled adult exploitation will not be tolerated in Muscogee County." -- " the collaborative investigation sends a resounding message "? -- The only message really sent is how corrupt and poorly managed/monitored these government programs are.

Online headline/story: "Never get between a Girl Scout and her cookies. * A Texas teen learned this lesson the hard way on Saturday, when, after allegedly stealing a cash box containing money from cookie sales, he was punched in the face by Girl Scout Iravia Cotton, 15. * Cops say that a dark-colored Toyota Camry pulled up next to the Scouts, and the rider in the passenger seat got out to ask about their prices. * Then the dastardly dunce snatched the girls' cash box and hopped back in the car. * That's when Cotton "started hitting the boy in the passenger seat," * "It was an adrenaline thing," Cotton said. "Somebody take your money, you are going to go for it." -- Hmmm, I hope the Girls Scouts have an appropriate Merit Badge for Iravia Cotton.

McClatchy headline: "Post Castro controversy, White House won't say who Obama wouldn't shake hands with" -- You know... with exception of the Devil, I don't mind who our President shakes hands with versus causing an uproar with an intentional snub. On the other hand, it really bathers me to have a President bow and kowtow to Muslim leaders.

McClatchy headline: "WASHINGTON — The National Endowment for the Arts announced a series of grants Wednesday worth $25.8 million that will help arts projects and programs in nearly all the states." -- You know, with the budget in chaos, and with cuts to our military families on the table, it's repulsive to me that liberals in Washington use tax dollars to keep the liberals in the arts world happy. You know, if liberals stopped sending donations to politicians to vote for such programs, and liberals gave that money DIRECTLY to those programs, those programs would have more money and fewer strings attached on how the money is used, and we'd have fewer libs in Comgrss. That's a WIN-WIN-WIN!

McClatchy headline/story: "Sen. Cruz Walked Out on Raul Castro at Mandela Memorial * WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, whose father is from Cuba, made a point of walking out on Cuban President Raul Castro when the leader spoke during the memorial ceremony for former South African President Nelson Mandela. * "Sen. Cruz very much hopes that Castro learns the lessons of Nelson Mandela.," said Catherine Frazier, Cruz's spokesperson, in an email to McClatchy. "For decades, Castro has wrongly imprisoned and tortured countless innocents. Just as Mandela was released after 27 years in prison, Castro should finally release his political prisoners, he should hold free elections, and once and for all set the Cuban people free." -- Hmmm, did you catch the condescending headline that's basically contrary to a good message Senator Cruz made? Libs will applaud at the end of the headline and condemn Senator Cruz while conservatives will read the meat of the story, and applaud Senator Cruz, and McClatchy will think it has done its job fairly.

What's "affordable" about preventative healthcare insurance with $5,000.00 worth of premiums and a $13,000 additional deductible before any assistance kicks in? In fact, no, in truth, unless you don't go to a hospital or doctor at all, your premium is really $18,000.00 annually.

L-E story: " WASHINGTON — An American who vanished nearly seven years ago in Iran was working for the CIA on an unapproved intelligence-gathering mission that, when it came to light inside the government, produced one of the most serious scandals in the recent history of the CIA — but all in secret, an Associated Press investigation found. * The CIA paid Robert Levinson’s family $2.5 million to head off a revealing lawsuit. Three veteran analysts were forced out of the agency and seven others were disciplined." -- Hey, that "hush money" is OUR money! The CIA people who authorized/dispersed it should have their salaries and pension funds garnisheed until we get it back.

A L-E/AP story states: "The )Colorado) state’s 160 hopeful pot shops are so mired in red tape and confusion that no one knows yet when or if they’ll be allowed to open. Not a single shop will clear state and local licensing requirements until about Dec. 27." -- Heh heh heh... government regulations may put the Colorado rollout of marijuna sales in the same success category as OObamaCRAP.

The L-E "almost" addressed the City's financial problems, but stopped short in asking for up-to-date reports on just how much LOST and SPLOST revenues are coming into both the City's and MCSD's coffers. The MCSD'sshortfall is the most dangerous for the taxpayers as the MCSD board has so many unfunded/underfunded projects in motion or in the air.

L-E story: " DeKalb County police say a woman lied to them about a home invasion in which her 6-year-old daughter was supposedly assaulted. * Police Capt. Steven Fore told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution evidence at the woman’s home didn’t match what she told investigators Wednesday night. * Authorities have said the woman told police that a group of armed, masked men stormed her south DeKalb County home, assaulted her disabled daughter and stole Christmas presents and the girl’s medication. * Fore says authorities are unsure of why the woman made the story up" -- "unsure of why the woman made the story up"? Do theses people get paid? It's rather obvious that the story was made up to evoke public sympathy and a hopeful boon of donations because of media attention.
