| Washington, D.C. — President Barack Obama´s tentative plans for reshuffling his deck of aides and Cabinet members accelerated this week when word reached the White House of an FBI investigation that brought to the surface CIA Director David Petraeus’ infidelity. The former general’s swift exit provided an immediate reminder of the task facing the administration as it looks to planning out the next for years — ensuring the orderly exit of long-serving, but tired, aides and bringing in fresh blood. Obama’s Cabinet, which has been unusually stable for the past four years, will be at the center of the government-wide change,

Yeah I´m sure the aides are tired from flying around the world first class and ordering $300 bottles of wine from room service.
Reshuffling the deck of institutional liberals won´t make one iota of difference,at least from an honesty standpoint.I´m sure they all have to take an oath of allegiance to dear leader before getting the job,along with ironclad non disclosure forms.

Been a while since I´ve seen so much poised pro-Obama propaganda in one short article. Like the first paragraph, where news of the FBI investigation of Petraeus "reached the White House". Come on! The WH didn´t direct its own FBI investigation of its own CIA Director? Then there´s the bit in the last paragraph, talking about the "icy relationship" with lawmakers during his first term. Really? For the first two years of his term, his Party had free reign in Congress!

The "tired" administration officials are the un-elected, unconfirmed "czars". You know....the shadowy figures that are actually running the country. The confirmed officials are window dressing.

Now there is talk of the loon from Utah becoming Sec. of State.
Perhaps Kerry will become Veep.
That leaves Brown a lesser slot so he doesn´t run again.
Of all our losses, I enjoyed Brown´s loss the most.

So once again, no good deed goes unpunished. Uncle Sam lets another bunch of leeching future terrorists into the country who have absolutely no business being here, gives them “asylum,” making them immediately eligible for welfare, and this is the thanks we get? They turn into mass murderers. We bring in thousands of Muslims from a primitive society that has been battling Christians for centuries, and put them into a peaceful Christian society — what could possible go wrong? This is what I was thinking about yesterday, with much of the city under what amounted to martial law.

Rescuers have ended their search for survivors following the devastating fertilizer explosion in West this week that killed at least 14 people and injured 200. Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced Friday afternoon that the search and rescue operation has ended now that responders have found 14 bodies. At least 11 emergency responders are presumed dead after the massive explosion and blaze at the West Fertilizer Co. facility near Waco. Sen. John Cornyn said earlier Friday that 60 people remain unaccounted for, but officials have now downplayed that number. Officials said this afternoon that people were put on a list

Although information is still too sketchy to draw any comprehensive conclusions (other than that the Boston killings are not, as recently suggested, fall out from sequestration, the NRA, lack of gun control, climate change, right-wing tea-party zealots, etc.), there emerges a familiar profile to the suspects that we have seen before. In articles in 2002 and 2007, I touched on the dangers of isolated Islamic-driven terrorists without direct connections to organized terrorist networks, calling it a sort of “al-Qaedism.” In other word, single and usually young American resident males, often originating from the Muslim world

When vocal teacher Bill Schuman works with an aspiring opera singer, he invokes the past, present and future with equal importance. He looks to the past for examples: "Study the great tenors," he advises one student, just before issuing a command for the present. "Pick up your palate! Don´t be lazy!" He also has a way of foreseeing what´s to come: "You will be Tosca," he promises a young soprano. Since 1989, Mr. Schuman, age 54, has been a voice instructor at Philadelphia´s Academy of Vocal Arts, a four-year conservatory program devoted to training young opera singers.

When David Sirota hoped the person or people responsible for bombing the Boston Marathon would be a “white American”, I asked, “Can’t a terrorist be both white & Muslim?” Yes, Mr. Sirota, there are white, Muslim terrorists. Granted, I was thinking more along the lines of a convert to Islam like John Walker Lindh. Nevertheless, Chechens are both Caucasian and Muslim. While it’s certainly possible for non-Muslims to commit terrorism, we do ourselves a disservice by being afraid to cause offense and refuse to consider the possibility that Muslims are responsible for these acts of evil.

Things are looking up for Republicans. President Obama’s agenda is collapsing before our eyes. Obama is pointing to the 2014 midterm elections to capture the House and revive his presidency. “My job is not simply to occupy the Oval Office,” he said at a San Francisco fundraiser. “My job is to make sure we move the country forward, and I think we can best do that if Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the House once again.” Obama said Pelosi is “thought ful” and “visionary” and “never lets ideology cloud her judgment.”

Ordinary Americans respond to emergencies and tragedies with grace and heart. Across the street from slain MIT officer Sean Collier’s Teele Square apartment, several Tufts students have hung an American flag from their balcony to honor Collier. “We found out this morning we lived across from him and hung the flag in support,” said Max Jaffe, 22.

The Tsarnaev brothers were ethnic Chechens whose family fled the breakaway republic in the remote Caucasus mountains where insurgents fought two bloody wars with Russia at the cost of more than 100,000 lives. Even after the worst of the fighting was over, Chechnya became a training ground for terrorists who have carried out attacks that have killed hundreds of civilians. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the FBI’s “Suspect Number 2” in Monday’s bombing, followed two Internet sites that advocated independence for Chechnya, whose heavily Muslim population of more than 1 million suffered badly during Soviet rule.

Several years ago, Jennifer Senior wrote a fascinating, agonized essay for New York Magazine on abortion and the challenges facing the pro-choice cause. Of the piece’s many memorable passages, this stretch in particular stood out: … if you want to hear honest talk about the realities of abortion, go speak with those abortion counselors and providers. Even the most radically pro-choice will tell you that the political discourse they hear about the subject, with its easy dichotomies and bumper-sticker boilerplate, has little correspondence to the messy, intricate stories of her patients.

MOSCOW—In Russia, the voice of America is strong again. Alexander Nefyodov hears it every Thursday when he tunes in from the Arctic port city of Murmansk. "It´s so interesting to hear from an American about how America really works," he says. It isn´t quite the radio of days past. Soviet-era beacons like Radio Liberty and the BBC have lost their place on Russian airwaves, and now the Kremlin is offering a fresher voice: Tim Kirby, an expatriate from the suburbs of Cleveland, who says he wants Russian citizenship and says Joseph Stalin was a better leader than he has been portrayed

BOSTON – The uncle of the two men suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings says they had lived together in Cambridge for about a decade. WBZ-TV spoke with the suspects’ uncle, Ruslan Tsarni. Tsarni says Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev immigrated to the United States around 2000 or 2001, and have lived at the same Cambridge address since that time. According to Tsarni, Dzhokar completed high school in Cambridge and was attending college somewhere outside of Boston. Tsarni, who says he hasn’t been in touch with the brothers since around 2009, tells WBZ-TV he believes that the brothers’ parents

WEST -- They are farmers, car salesmen, business owners and city employees. But when flames broke out at the West Fertilizer Co. on Wednesday night, West volunteer firefighters and others left those jobs behind and rushed toward the danger blazing on the north end of town. Those at ground zero of the thundering explosion never came home. Grief and worry were etched on the faces of the men, women and children who gathered Thursday at the West Fire Station, desperately seeking information on the whereabouts of their loved ones.

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

Latest 11.42 (06.42) The two suspects may be foreign nationals, according to NBC´s Pete Williams. Quote They were legal permanent residents... They were in this country legally, at least a year. They appear to be from Turkey, possibly Chechens from Turkey. That seems to be the nationality here. We´re told they were not students, in their early twenties. One 20, one 21. We don´t have their names yet. The Associated Press has also said the suspects are from Russian region near Chechnya, and had lived in the US at least one year. 11.25 (06.25) A woman in Watertown has snipers

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers. It failed to advance in the Senate, with a vote Wednesday afternoon of 54 to 46.

Griner was asked by SI’s Maggie Gray on the difference between men’s and women’s sports when it comes to acceptance of sexual orientation; why the WNBA has been able to often embrace many lesbians within their sport, while male sports in America still waits on its first publicly gay player.
