France - France's new Socialist president owns three holiday homes in the
Riviera resort of Cannes. Francois Hollande, 57, who “dislikes
the rich” and wants to revolutionize his country with high taxes and an
onslaught against bankers, is in fact hugely wealthy himself.
California – “California's budget deficit
has swelled to a projected $16 billion — much larger than had been predicted
just months ago — and will force severe cuts to schools and public safety if voters fail to approve tax increases.” Why is the only solution to increase taxes?
Californians are getting what they deserve after electing Brown back into
office.
Forests –
This from the LA Times “Today, the hottest and thirstiest parts
of the United States are best described as over-forested. Vigorous federal
protection has stocked semiarid regions of public land with several billion
trees too many. And day after day these excess trees deplete a natural resource
that has become far more precious than toilet paper or 2-by-4's: water.”
Newsweek – Newsweek referred to
Obama as the “first gay president”.
MSNBC – Liberal host Tamara Hall
kicks off her program Washington Posts Tim Carney for disagreeing about the
Romney bullying story. I guess we can say Hall bullied Carney.
Obama Campaign - Mitt Romney, a
job-killing economic "vampire"? That's the message of a new ad by
President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. In other news, Obama is banning
the use of cell phones at his fundraising events. He does not want anyone to
record a potential gaffe.
Illegal Immigrants - A federal
deportation program that scours local jails for illegal immigrants will expand into
New York and Massachusetts, despite objections from the Democratic governors of
those states. In other news, Florida election
authorities are examining about 180,000 people who they say may not be U.S.
citizens but are registered to vote in the state, an official said this past
week.
Obama / Reagan - The Heritage Foundation’s Rory Cooper tweeted that Obama had
casually dropped his own name into Ronald Reagan’s official biography on
www.whitehouse.gov, claiming credit for taking up the mantle of Reagan’s tax
reform advocacy with his “Buffett Rule” gimmick. This is true, I checked! But
it does not end there; Obama has put his name in the biography of every
President since Coolidge (except Ford). Who would have thought Obama
accomplished so much even before he was born.
Commencement Speakers – In a survey of commencement speakers at
the nation’s top 100 universities, 71 were liberal and only 10 considered
themselves conservative.
Elizabeth Warren - The "genealogist", Lynda Smith, who offered Elizabeth
Warren's only strand of proof that she has any Native American blood in
her lineage turns out to be an amateur who now admits the "evidence"
she thought she'd collected does not actually exist. Hence, Warren may have 0%
Cherokee blood and not the miniscule 1/32 Smith originally claimed.
TSA - An illegal immigrant worked undetected at Newark Liberty
International Airport for 20 years, and used a dead man's identity to acquire a
top position in airport security, officials said.
