| Corruption: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.´s guilty plea to fraud charges raises fresh questions about the Congressional Black Caucus. It´s a group with many laudable goals, but why do so many in it succumb to corruption? A disproportionate share of ethics cases have been brought against this exclusive club. According to a 2012 National Journal study, five of the six lawmakers under review by the House Ethics Committee were Black Caucus members. Yet just one in 10 House members belong to the group. It´s a familiar pattern. In 2009, all eight lawmakers under ethics investigation were African-American.

Why was New Orleans corrupted? Why are all large cities with black control broke and corrupt? Why does 13% of the population commit 50% of the murders? Why does .............!
But it´s not because they are black. It´s because they are BLACK DEMOCRAT LIBERALS!
Why can I give you a long list of black conservatives I would vote for president in a heartbeat?

Don´t paint this with the broad brush of race. It is about greed and power and no race in congress has a monopoly on lining their pockets. I´ll take Dr. Benjamin Carson over the entire congressional black caucus and the Jackson gang and their minions any day.

FTA- " Please. Enough with the conspiracy theories. There is something rotten within the group itself. It´s time to clean house."
Never going to happen.
FTA- "Caucus chair Emanuel Cleaver said it was a "wild rumor" that Jackson was a crook."
Perhaps there is a different black definition of crook.
Cleaver is so busy defending Jackson , he should take time to prepare for his upcoming April court case.
The Bank Of America is suing Cleaver and his wife over failing to make payments on a 1.5 million dollar loan on a car wash.
BOA gave Cleaver extension after extension since 2002 .
Most Americans would not receive that courtesy .
A million dollars of the loan is SBA and may have to be repaid by the workers of the US.
If Cleaver was white and had an R after his name-the admitted fluffer lapdog media
would be all over this.
Cleaver was reelected by his constituents during the height of this scandal.

After the widespread media uproar that resulted from the exposure of Kermit Gosnell´s baby-butchering abortion clinic... Oops, sorry, let´s try that again. After the widespread media silence that resulted from the exposure of Kermit Gosnell´s baby-butchering abortion clinic, one begins to see just where the abortion issue is going. The flagrant non-effort of journalists and pundits to shine the light on Gosnell´s actions is instructive; it tells a tale, one that begins and ends with a clear roadmap for the future of "reproductive" rights in the United States.

The third person killed in the Boston Marathon bombings is a 23-year-old Chinese graduate student at Boston University who came to the U.S. because it was her ´dream to get a better education.´ Identified by her father in China as Lü Lingzi, the tragic student was pursuing a graduate degree at Boston University (BU) in Mathematics and Statistics. Lingzi was attending the Boston marathon with her friend Zhou Danling, a student of actuarial science at BU, who was originally said to be in a coma at Boston Medical Center but showing signs of improvement after suffering serious injuries in the blast.

In any normal situation, the President´s decision to push Francine Wheeler -- a sobbing, grieving mother of a six-year-old boy killed at Sandy Hook -- in front of the cameras to argue for the latest Senate gun control bill would be breathtaking for its exploitation and its cynicism. Yet now it is a regular part and parcel of a typical left-wing tactic -- to suppress rational discussion with a tidal wave of emotion. It is important to clarify that it is not necessary for rational debate to be separated from emotion, and

The Sandy Hook families have received the sympathies of an entire nation. But now a group billing itself as the Third Way, along with an "uber strategist" from the 1992 Clinton campaign, is helping the Newtown families project their grief onto law-abiding gun owners who have never harmed anyone. After boarding Air Force One with President Obama last week to bring their message of stricter gun control to Washington, relatives have gone from a support group to full-fledged lobbyists.

I find it very disconcerting that thirty-six hours (as of this writing) after the Boston terrorist bombing, law enforcement and counterterrorism officials are running hotlines and calls for "anyone seen with an unusually heavy, dark bag" in the Boston area. A $50,000 reward has been offered for clues leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator. Officials are saying that this case is "wide open." Wide open? Really? This is where the status of the investigation is. In Europe, and in Israel, whenever there is a terrorist attack, they have someone or some group in their

The two explosions at Monday’s Boston Marathon will lead to drastic changes in how large-scale public gatherings, particularly sporting events, will be secured, experts told FoxNews.com. Mike DeCapua, director of Public Safety Consultants NW, said major changes to how law enforcement officials prepare for and respond to emergencies at events with thousands of participants, supporters or bystanders will “absolutely” occur following the two bombs near the finish line of Monday’s marathon, which killed at least three people and injured at least 176 others. “That’s what’s going to happen,” DeCapua told FoxNews.com by phone while en route to large venues in

Barack Obama´s administration has cut the budget nearly in half for preventing domestic bombings, MailOnline can reveal. Under President George W. Bush, the Department of Homeland Security had $20 million allocated for preventing the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by terrorists working inside the United States. The current White House has cut that funding down to $11 million. That assessment comes from Robert Liscouski, a former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15 that killed three Americans and injured at least 173 others.

Overreach: The gun control bill lets doctors put your name in the national criminal background check system without telling you. Can the government say you´re crazy and take your guns? It´s already happening. The road to deeper gun control seems like another road paved with good intentions. Since many recent mass shootings have involved shooters with varying degrees of mental impairment, the desire to keep guns out of the genuinely mentally ill seems to be a worthy goal. Yet it is being exploited with definitions so vague and undefined, and with controls so lax, as to become

Protocol: President Obama declined to send a high-level delegation to Wednesday´s funeral of Britain´s Margaret Thatcher.

Terrorism: Regardless of whether the terrorist culprits behind the Boston Marathon bombing are foreign or domestic, the carnage has already given Americans an important reminder: Freedom is always a target. It will be days, perhaps weeks, before we know for sure who committed the first successful terrorist bombing in the 11 and a half years since September 11th, 2001. On a number of levels, the details are chilling. At least three were killed near the finish line of the world-famous Boston Marathon, including an 8-year-old boy watching his father compete. Over 170 were injured, including the boy´s mother and sister,

BOSTON -- The bombs that blew up seconds apart at the finish line of one of the world´s most storied races left the streets spattered with blood and glass, three dead, including an 8-year-old boy, more than 140 wounded and gaping questions of who chose to attack at the Boston Marathon and why. Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings one of the city´s most famous civic holidays, Patriots Day.

She accused Bush of being unavailable to the American people for the “first couple weeks” after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Mark Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), is threatening to back an election challenge against Sen. Jeff Flake if the Arizona Republican votes against legislation to expand background checks. At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Kelly said he would back an opponent to Flake if the "right candidate" was available and if the senator failed to support a background check bill, according to reports. Flake, who is not up for reelection until 2018, has been close to Kelly and Giffords. But Kelly said the issue of control trumped their ties.

"The notion that Congress would defy the overwhelming instinct of the American people after what we saw happen in Newtown, I think, is unimaginable."

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.
