Book Recommends Submissive Women

[From article]
The book, which was a bestseller in Italy, preaches a message of "loyal obedience, generosity and submission" on the part of the new wife and offers nuggets of advice for the newly-wed on how to please one's husband.
[. . .]
One passage suggests: "We [women] like humiliation because it is for a greater good."
[. . .]
Granada's Archbishop Francisco Javier Martinez, who chose to publish the book has defended its content and insists that the furore surrounding it is "ridiculous and hypocritical" in a society that allows abortion, which he argues is a much clearer example of violence against women.

U.S. House Resolution To Stop Lawlessness of Obama

[From article]

"President Obama has adopted a practice of picking and choosing which laws he wants to enforce. In most cases, his laws of choice conveniently coincide with his Administration’s political agenda. Our Founding Fathers created the Executive Branch to implement and enforce the laws written by Congress and vested this power in the President. However, President Obama has chosen to ignore some of the laws written by Congress and implemented by preceding Presidents," Rice wrote in a letter to fellow House members to ask them to co-sponsor this resolution.
"This resolution allows the House of Representatives to bring legal action against the Executive Branch and challenge recent actions, inactions, and policies."

Jane Fonda's Charity In Violation Of State Laws

[From article]
Though Jane Fonda’s private foundation has nearly $800,000 in assets, the group has not made a charitable contribution during the last five years for which it has filed federal tax returns, an apparent violation of Internal Revenue Service rules.
[. . .]
IRS regulations require private foundations to make annual distributions totaling at least five percent of its assets. The rule is intended to prevent foundations from stockpiling and investing funds (while never making contributions, gifts, or grants). If adhered to, the so-called Five Percent Rule would have forced Fonda to distribute a minimum of about $40,000 in 2011.f a private foundation fails to make required minimum distributions, it faces stiff IRS penalties.

Police Imposter Stealing Money From Elder Women

[From article]
A thief impersonating cops has ripped off at least 24 elderly women in the city’s toniest neighborhoods to the tune of at least $420,000, police said.
The suspect allegedly first preyed upon an elderly woman on the Upper West Side on June 3, 2011, pretending to be a New York City cop who was investigating her bank account. He convinced the woman he needed some of her money to proceed with the investigation, police said.

Drinking Water Polluted By Drugs

[From article]
A report on drinking water carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency has found samples of at least 25 different drugs, including medication to treat heart conditions, in supplies coming out of wastewater treatment plants.
[. . .]
'We're not trying to scare anyone, but we need to know what these chemical compounds will do to the environment and what are the long term effects for humans.'
The study will be published in the Environmental Pollution journal in the New Year.
[. . .]
The drugs find their way into the water system when our bodies release them when we urinate or if old drugs are flushed down the toilet.

The New Normal

[From article]
But we've lost the cleansing quality of "dirty" speech. Now it's casual, boorish, smooth and corporate. Everybody is walking around sounding like Howard Stern. The trash-talking Jay-Z and Kanye West are superwealthy businessmen surrounded by bodyguards, media consultants and image-makers.
[. . .]
Back in the 1990s, growing explicitness and obscenity in popular culture gave rise to the so-called culture wars, in which the right and the left fought over the limits of free speech. Nowadays no one blames the culture for what the culture itself has become.
[. . .]
shocking history-in-the-making that was once hidden now became visible in American living rooms, night after night, through new technology, TV in particular.
[. . .]
Behind the Internet's success in making obscene images commonplace is the dirty little fact that it was the pornography industry that revolutionized the technology of the Internet. Streaming video, technology like Flash, sites that confirm the validity of credit cards were all innovations of the porn business.
The author of this piece ignores the legalization of sodomy, and homosexual sex. What role does law play in all of these "advances?"

Author Of Patriot Act Says NSA Violates Law, DNI Should Be Prosecuted

[From article]
Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr., the original author of the Patriot Act, says Director of National Intelligence James Clapper should be prosecuted for lying to Congress.
"Lying to Congress is a federal offense, and Clapper ought to be fired and prosecuted for it," the Wisconsin Republican said in an interview with The Hill.
He said the Justice Department should prosecute Clapper for giving false testimony during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing in March.
During that hearing, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asked Clapper whether the National Security Agency (NSA) collects data on millions of Americans. Clapper insisted that the NSA does not — or at least does "not wittingly" — collect information on Americans in bulk.
[. . .]
Sensenbrenner claims that the NSA is overstepping the law and violating the Constitution.

Newlyweds Murder For Fun

[From article]
Following his wife’s arrest, Elytte Barbour told The Daily Item of Sunbury his wife, whom he married on Oct. 22, regularly hired herself out as a “companion” to men she met on various websites, a business venture he said he supported because it did not involve sexual contact.
Barbour said his wife made anywhere from $50 to $850 for meeting with men for such activities as having dinner or walking around a mall. The ads she placed on websites including Craigslist all said upfront that sex was not part of the deal, he said.
“She is not a prostitute,” he said. “What she does is meet men who have broken marriages or have no one in their lives and she meets with them and has delightful conversation.”

Pathological Liars Lie Even When Unnecessary

[From article]
One definition of a pathological liar is someone who lies where the truth would serve just as well. When President Obama’s uncle, Onyango Obama, was arrested in 2011 for drunk driving, the truth — that Obama had stayed with his uncle years earlier for several weeks as a Harvard law student — would have served the president just fine. No potential Obama voter would have held it against him that an uncle he had stayed with two decades earlier was picked up for DUI.
Yet the White House went with a lie, claiming that Obama had never met his uncle.
[. . .]
Now that the lie has been exposed, thanks to testimony from “Uncle Omar” at his deportation hearing, the White House says it got its facts wrong. Why? Chiefly because it relied on Obama’s book Dreams From My Father, which contained no reference to uncle Omar.

How ridiculous is this? We are asked to believe that instead of checking with Obama, the only available person who could know the extent of his relationship with Omar, his flacks issued a denial based on book that doesn’t even purport to be autobiographically accurate.
Dreams From My Father does not, of course, provide a definitive list of Obama’s acquaintances. But more than this, Obama has said that the book uses pseudonyms and contains composite (or “compressed”) characters. Thus, it would make no sense to deny Uncle Omar’s existence based on his non-appearance in the book.
So what explains the denial? The most straightforward explanation is pathological lying — the impulse to deny, deny, deny whenever an embarrassing story, even an essentially innocuous one, appears. In this scenario, staff (perhaps at Obama’s direction; perhaps not) decided to deny that Obama had met Uncle Omar provided there was nothing in Obama’s book, or elsewhere in the record, that would show otherwise. Believing they could get away with the lie, they lied.
But Stanley Kurtz suggests a more sophisticated explanation. Stanley suspects, based on his experience with Team Obama’s responses to potentially embarrassing stories he has uncovered, that it is Obama’s policy not to have staff ask him about his past.
This policy enables Obama to avoid confirming embarrassing stories without having to lie. Staff can then deny, or at least not confirm, the story. If the story turns out to be true, Obama can blame his staff. Staff, while taking an obvious hit, can blame sloppy research and thus defend against accusations of lying.
[. . .]
What we have in Barack Obama is not “the most transparent administration in history” but the most convoluted one. And we have this convoluted presidency not because Obama is our first dishonest chief executive but because he’s the first who had to conceal from the American people the essence of who he really is and what he really stands for.

Law enforcement authorities are investigating whether Washington was connected to another police officer who also was found with two teenagers, including a girl who had gone missing. The girl told police the officer was preparing her to be a prostitute and had taken pictures of her in the nude to show prospective clients.
Washington was released from jail Monday, placed on house arrest and ordered to wear a GPS monitoring device. He was still wearing the ankle bracelet when he was rescued from the Hains Point.

Labor Statistics Questionable

[From article]
The most curious thing of all about the November jobs report released on Friday was the huge drop in the unemployment rate — and the fact that the Labor Department chose not to disclose that the data going into that figure are under investigation for falsification.
On Nov. 19, I broke the news in my column that the Census Bureau, which collects data that goes into the jobless rate on behalf of Labor, had caught one of its enumerators fabricating interviews in 2010.

Rigging Labor Department statistics is an essential job to prevent Obama from being ridiculed. Tom Perez is now Labor Secretary. He was a chief attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department where he vigorously opposed race neutral application of civil rights laws. It was the reason why the New Black Panther Party was not punished after a default judgment, for their election  intimidation in 2008 and 2012. J. Christian Adams

wrote Injustice after he resigned from the Civil Rights division due to these abuses of power by Perez, another Obama appointee with relaxed rectitude.

Mandela Member of Communist Party

[From article]
The South African Communist Party is admitting Nelson Mandela was a high-ranking member. Will the media report these facts? Or will the “myth” continue to prevail?
My friend Victor Lasky used to write books about liberal or left-wing figures that carried the name of the person and the subtitle, “The Man and the Myth.” He would compare the coverage of a political figure with the truth. The coverage of the death of Nelson Mandela has focused mostly on the myth. Key facts are being omitted, including Mandela’s secret membership in the South African Communist Party (SACP), which may shed light on the future of South Africa.
[. . .]
Sampson says that Mandela “recruited” Joe Slovo to Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the armed wing of the African National Congress, for a “campaign of sabotage” in South Africa. Slovo, in turn, “brought in a small group of communist experts” who knew about explosives. Slovo, a white communist, was dubbed “the KGB colonel” by those who considered him an agent or member of Soviet intelligence.
[. . .]
Clearly, Mandela was not honest with the public about his deep involvement with communism, including membership in the South African Communist Party. Then, again, Obama was never honest with the American people about his mentor, Communist Party operative Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Soviet espionage apparatus in Hawaii.

Health Care Law's Damages Just Beginning

[From article]
As long as we remain confused, we need a guide to help us through the maze. Please note that the guides -- call them bureaucrats, administrators, Navigators, or in-person assisters -- work for the same people who created the smoke, set up the mirrors, obfuscated the straightforward, and wrote a law even they don't understand, that has a 10,000+ page rule book.
[. . .]
As ObamaCare shifts hundreds of billions of dollars from doctors to bureaucrats, there will be fewer providers of healthcare. UnitedHealth is already laying off thousands of physicians, citing "substantial funding pressure from the federal government" [ObamaCare]. Further, more and more doctors cannot afford to accept government insured patients or are simply retiring, as I did. Even if you have insurance, care will be less available and take longer to acquire.
[. . .]
president started the entire reform snowball stating (correctly) that we are spending too much as a country on healthcare.
His solution to this problem is to spend an additional $1.3-2.7 trillion dollars, adding this insane amount to the federal deficit. I have seen no proof from anyone, even the most ardent ObamaCare supporters, to show how spending more will spend less. And of course, we are spending this money to pay for additional bureaucracy, not for additional health care. What value are we getting for these trillions?

Steve Jobs' Liver Transplant Under Scrutiny

[From article]
Dr. James Eason, who performed the March 2009 liver transplant, moved into the palatial house Jobs bought for his recovery just a few months after the operation, according to a report.
[. . .]
“It strikes me as a potential conflict of interest,” said Arthur Caplan, a bioethicist for New York University.
Shortly after it emerged that Jobs had the surgery in 2009, Eason issued a statement saying that Jobs received the transplant “because he was … the sickest patient on the waiting list at the time a donor organ became available,” based on a scoring system known as the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease, or MELD.
