The Petraeus affair:
A lot more than sex

CNN, by Michael Pearson

Original Article

Posted By:MissMolly, 11/13/2012 5:56:44 AM

Unlike many stories about powerful Washington figures having secret affairs, the downfall of spy chief David Petraeus goes beyond sex. The scandal surrounding the decorated four-star Army general who once ran the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan involves questions of national security, politics and even the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead. Petraeus, 60, resigned Friday after acknowledging he had an affair with a woman later identified as his biographer, Paula Broadwell, 40, a fellow West Point graduate who spent months studying the general´s leadership of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

No, we are not stupid, but we vote stupid. I see him coming into testify and leaving his memory in his old office. He can take a page out of Hillary´s "I don´t recall" file and tell America to butt out of his affairs and this entire fiasco. Why is it that we scream for honesty, but vote like it does not matter at all? We are our own worst enemy.

Carjack victim recounts
his harrowing night
Boston Globe, by Eric Moskowitz    Original Article
Posted By: MissMolly- 4/26/2013 6:25:23 AM     Post Reply
The 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur had just pulled his new Mercedes to the curb on Brighton Avenue to answer a text when an old sedan swerved behind him, slamming on the brakes. A man in dark clothes got out and approached the passenger window. It was nearly 11 p.m. last Thursday. The man rapped on the glass, speaking quickly. Danny, unable to hear him, lowered the window -- and the man reached an arm through, unlocked the door, and climbed in, brandishing a silver handgun. “Don’t be stupid,” he told Danny. He asked if he had followed the news

The Gun Rights Revolution

If you live in Arkansas, you can now carry a concealed gun into a bar, or a liquor store—or a church. College staffers can bring guns on campus. Folks with a permit from other states can pack heat in Arkansas without filing any paperwork. These are among the half-dozen legal changes in the state that passed only four months since the Newtown massacre, and Arkansas has plenty of company. While the Senate failed to pull the trigger on expanded background checks last week, 15 states have already passed 25 gun rights measures this year. “To me this isn’t really about guns.

Mark Sanford’s explanation changes

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — First Congressional District candidate Mark Sanford, who previously has said he was in his ex-wife’s home Feb. 3 because he didn’t want his youngest son to watch the Super Bowl alone, said Tuesday for the first time that a second son was at the home, too. The February event sparked a family court complaint, filed by Sanford’s ex-wife, Jenny Sanford, who alleges that her ex-husband has repeatedly entered her property without permission. That violates the couple’s divorce settlement, she asserts in court documents. Mark Sanford defends his decision to enter the home

Today, in NASA Is the Best: The space agency this week took a handful of cheap but powerful smartphones, slapped them to a gigantic rocket and blasted them into low-earth orbit to see how they´d fare. The project, called PhoneSat, is one of those wacky experiments that seems at first to have nothing to do with science. But it´s not a stunt. The phones — ordinary Nexus Ones, the kind made by HTC and once sold by Google — are being tested as a kind of prototype satellite, and they provide a glimpse of a possible future where ordinary commercial technology that we take for granted winds up

Anthony Weiner admitted in an interview Wednesday that there might be other embarrassing photos of him out there that have yet to surface. In the one-on-one with RNN-TV, Weiner didn’t deny that there was a possibility there could be other photos like the one that led the former congressman — who is now attempting a comeback — to be disgraced, and ultimately forced to resign in 2011. “If reporters want to go try to find more, I can’t say that they’re not going to be able to find another picture, or find another … person who may want to come out on their own, but I’m not going to

Secretary of State John Kerry was wildly successful in Turkey this week — if his aim was to ratchet up Ankara’s hostility toward Israel. Alas, his stated goal was to smooth ties between the two nations. Kerry’s trouble began when he responded to a question about a rapprochement between Turkey and Israel. In his answer, he referred this way to the infamous 2010 Gaza flotilla in which several Turks were killed while trying to break an Israeli blockade that even the United Nations says is legal under international law: “I particularly say to the families of people

DNC Uses Boston Bombing
to Gain Email Addresses
Washington Free Beacon, by Staff    Original Article
Posted By: MissMolly- 4/23/2013 5:42:26 AM     Post Reply
The Democratic National Committee on Monday used last week’s bombings at the Boston Marathon to build the party’s list of email addresses. A page on the DNC’s website asks visitors to sign a petition thanking Boston’s first responders for “all you did last week—and for all you do every day.” The page asks for visitors’ names, email addresses, and zip codes. Those who fill out the form immediately receive an email from DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The ploy immediately drew criticism from Republicans. Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, called the effort “disgraceful”

Is Traditional Marriage Toast?

Every discussion of gay marriage should begin with a recognition of its historical radicalness, its exceptionality. Heterosexual marriage has been the fundamental unit of human sociability for thousands of years, a common thread running through otherwise disjunctive cultures and wide-ranging ethnic diversity. Wherever one lands on the issue of same-sex marriage, there can be no gainsaying its extraordinariness. It’s also clear that same-sex marriage is a culmination of a long-brewing development, an unspooling of essential modern premises. The relentless logic of modernity is unrestrained

On a sweltering day last summer, traffic came to a standstill on a bustling stretch of Bryn Mawr Avenue in Edgewater, emergency crew sirens wailed and Chicago Police Officer Tom Rolon hurried to the scene. The crackling voice in Rolon’s radio reported a woman foaming at the mouth and lying in the middle of the street; Rolon approached and instantly recognized her.“She looked up at me and says, ‘Officer Rolon, I love you,’ ” recalled the now retired cop, who spent 17 years on foot patrol in Edgewater. “She got up, and all of a sudden she’s OK.”

WASHINGTON – GOP operative Andy Parrish, a former chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, is expected to tell an Iowa Senate ­ethics panel that her 2012 presidential campaign made improper payments to its state chairman. (Snip)Gilmore said Parrish can provide the ethics panel documentary evidence that Sorenson was paid $7,500 a month to work on Bachmann’s campaign, money that was funneled to him indirectly through C&M Strategies, a Colorado-based company controlled by Bachmann fundraiser Guy Short. Among the sources of the funding, Waldron contends, was Bachmann’s independent political organization, Michele­PAC, also headed by Short.

The unfailing reverence on the American right for Ronald Reagan is understandable. He was the only exemplar of modern conservatism to win the White House, and unlike liberal icons such as Roosevelt or Johnson or Obama, he presided over an economic boom and became beloved by voters not normally drawn to his party. No wonder that Reagan, long before his death in 2004, attained mythical status in the conservative movement and the Republican Party. But that myth has become a burden for the modern GOP. It has bound Reagan’s followers on the right to policies and positions that were

The new logo for the University of Connecticut’s sports teams is a terrifying husky dog that calls to mind images of sexual assault, says one student. The new logo was unveiled last week, receiving mixed-to-negative reviews from UConn fans who preferred the older, cuter husky dog. But one student went much further, criticizing the new, meaner logo for being a pro-rape symbol. In an open letter to UC President Susan Herbst, self-described feminist student Carolyn Luby wrote that the redesigned team logo will intimidate women and empower rape culture.

He said that establishing legal status for the nation’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants is a “matter of civil and human rights.” “Creating a pathway to earned citizenship for the 11 million unauthorized immigrants in this country is essential,” Holder said to applause. “The way we treat our friends and neighbors who are undocumented by creating a mechanism for

Unlike you, federal government officials are immune from charges of fraud. The executive branch, vested with all of the government’s prosecutorial authority and discretion, is not going to investigate its own operatives for carrying out its own mendacious policies.That is the story of last week’s Boston Marathon bombing and the frantic efforts of the bombers, the brothers Tsarnaev, to evade capture, shoot it out with police (two of whom they killed), and — we’re now told — detonate more bombs in Times Square. The Times Square non-attack is quite interesting.

President Obama´s weekly remarks: Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a nation must be growing the economy, creating good jobs, and rebuilding opportunity for the middle class. But two months ago, Congress allowed a series of automatic budget cuts to fall across the federal government that would do the opposite. In Washington-speak, these cuts were called the “sequester.” It was a bad idea then. And as the country saw this week, it’s a bad idea now. Because of these reckless cuts, there are parents whose kids just got kicked out of Head Start programs scrambling for a solution.

President Barack Obama on Saturday called on the US Congress to end the "reckless" and "dumb" budget cuts known as the sequester, and to adopt a plan of "smarter" cuts to fuel economic growth. Obama´s weekly address comes after Congress on Friday overwhelming approved a bill putting furloughed air traffic controllers back on the job, thus undoing one of the most high-profile effects of the so-called sequestration, the $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that took effect March 1 and hit federal spending across the board.

Washington - President Barack Obama warned Syria on Friday that its use of chemical weapons would be a "game changer" for the United States but made clear he was in no rush to intervene in the civil war there on the basis of evidence he said was still preliminary. Speaking a day after the disclosure of U.S. intelligence that Syria had likely used chemical weapons against its own people, Obama talked tough while calling for patience as he sought to fend off pressure for a swift response against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The Democrats proposed sequestration as part of a package to secure an increase in the debt ceiling, but they never expected it to go into effect. When it did, they felt double-crossed, apparently because they thought Republicans owed it to them to fold like a cheap suit, as usual. When the Republicans figured out that sticking with the sequester was a pretty good outcome–it represented a modest, but real, restraint on federal spending, which is what Republicans always say they want–the Democrats went to Plan B. It’s a strategy they have often used before: cut back

Florida GOP senator Marco Rubio seems well-meaning enough. I know we both share, as second-generation conservative Americans, a common passion for this great land of opportunity. But when it comes to comprehending the real agenda of the open-borders zealots he’s allied himself with, Rubio doesn’t have a clue. And his abject ignorance threatens all of us who cherish American sovereignty and exceptionalism.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama vowed Friday to fight with Planned Parenthood against what he said were efforts across the country to turn women´s health back to the 1950s. Obama´s comments were the first to be delivered by a sitting president before the abortion-rights group. He lauded the group´s nearly 100 years of service to women, providing cancer screenings, contraceptives and other health services.
