Franco Harris doesn't believe the NCAA sanctions against Penn State will stand, nor is he convinced that the trials of former Penn State officials will occur. Further, the former Penn State running back said, he sees opinions shifting about his alma mater's role in the Jerry Sandusky scandal. "The narrative is starting to change," Harris said Friday. "The [grand jury] presentment and the Freeh Report are falling apart. The NCAA [sanctions], that will fall apart. There will be no trials for [Tim] Curley and [Gary] Schultz. There's no case. We're starting to find the truth." More than 200 turned...

I do know however that I am even more sure than ever that the media, as proven by Te’o, Armstrong, and Steubenville, is simply not to be trusted on any story where they become enamored with the narrative and is particularly vulnerable to being completely fooled on a "perfect storm" story like the Sandusky scandal. In other words, I was always confident that we were correct, but the events of the past couple of weeks have made me morally certain of it. Unlike with Sally Jenkins and Buzz Bissinger, that doesn’t happen unless I am right.

Joe Scarborough (R-FL). Officials in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, determined that Lori Klausutis died from an accident. The mainstream press largely ignored the case, but our review of several investigative reports indicates the official finding is highly questionable. Does that mean Joe Scarborough is a murderer? No. But we suspect someone who had access to Scarborough’s office in 2001...

Mark Halperin on "Morning Joe" makes the point that Obama as a Senator was against raising the debt ceiling (January 2, 2013).

Vice President Joe Biden got a little frisky with the wife of Senator Angus King at today's ceremonial swearing-in at the Capitol:

Law: A quarter of a century ago, a good and great man was slandered to maintain liberal judicial power. It was Vice President Joe Biden, who as a senator, led the injustices committed against Judge Robert Bork. The Wednesday morning death of Bork, Ronald Reagan´s failed 1987 Supreme Court nominee, should make us think how much freer and better this country would be if Bork´s intellectual power and constitutional integrity had been present within the justices´ deliberations over the past 25 years. Had Reagan nominated Bork to replace retiring Chief Justice Warren Burger in 1986, when Republicans

Video link to an interview w/ Costas and Franco Harris. They also did another interview at the same link on the Immaculate Reception. Franco tells it like it is. Costas has softened on Joe because he actually read the freeh report. Good interview and good representation from Franco (who is not known for his public speaking).

Humor. Really. This is NOT the real Joe.

There is something seriously wrong with this guy.

A leading gun rights advocate announced it endorsed the Ohio man who became known as “Joe the Plumber” in his race to represent Ohio’s 9th Congressional District in Washington. “I’m excited and all the same time, incredibly humbled by the announcement we have received an enthusiastic and strong endorsement of the Gun Owners of America,” said Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who earned the moniker in 2008 when he confronted then-candidate Barack Obama about how Obama’s tax policies would discourage him from buying a plumbing business. “As an avid sportsman and gun owner, I can tell you with great pride that no...

For the Uninitiated: The Biggest Media Myths of the Jerry Sandusky Scandal Since details don’t seem to really matter anymore, here is the "Cliffs Notes" version of how the media created a false narrative (which they refuse to correct) in the Jerry Sandusky scandal. You might think of this as "Why Nearly Everything You Think You Know About the Penn State Story is False." Please feel free to share it as a resource with those whose minds you are trying to open about what really happened here. In the basic order in which they occurred, these are the biggest media-created...

Joe Klein on Morning Joe explains why Bibi Netanyahu is a maniac and Iran's leaders are extremists, but not crazy.

Vice President Biden rolled into Milford, Ohio, Sunday,September 9, to speak at public Milford High School to a crowd of about 200 Democrats in the school cafeteria. The TEA PARTY was there to meet him, and his followers.

VP: 'I'm Joe Bidenopoulos' By JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 8/31/12 1:41 PM EDT WARREN, Ohio – The vice president strode into a local restaurant here with a message for the Greek-Americans enjoying their lunch: "I'm Joe Bidenopoulos." “Ask George,” he told some men gathered around a table at the Mocha House. It was unclear who George was, maybe someone at the table, but it was clear that the vice president was talking about himself when he said something about “the most Greek Irishman he’s ever known.” The vice president also got a snack at restaurant, a Greek diner in downtown Warren.

I just finished the book, “Paterno” by Joe Posnanski. I was fortunate enough to have the back cover photograph. My Friend Joe Hermitt had the front. Between the two of us we probably photographed JoePa more than anyone. I read over half the book on a bench in Sunset Park, not more than 100 yards from the Paterno home. Why? I am not sure why. I wanted a quiet place to read and reflect on this man that I knew all these years. This seemed like the right place. I spent many cold hours in front of his house...

Plugs Biden, Uncle Joe, Sloppy Joe, Lyin Biden...

Attorneys for former Penn State administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz released a statement Wednesday backing former Penn State President Graham Spanier's attorneys' denouncement of the Freeh report earlier in the day. Spanier, who has not been criminally charged in connection to the alleged concealment of Jerry Sandusky's sex crimes, spoke publicly for the first time Wednesday since his contract was terminated by Penn State's Board of Trustees in November. Over the past month, he spoke with The New Yorker's Jeffery Toobin, who's interview with Spanier was published Wednesday. Later, he spoke with ABC's Josh Elliott which aired in part...

The drunk: Senator Joe Biden (vice presidential nominee for Barack Obama) singing the villages theme song... drunk!

As politicians around the nation hide in the shadows and wring their hands over Obama's lawless mass amnesty for 2 million illegals, the state of Arizona is presenting a united front against it. On Wednesday, as tens of thousands of so-called "Dreamers" lined up in cities across the nation to apply for a near-automatic 2-year stay from deportation and work permit that Obama bypassed Congress to order, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer showed that at least one state was not going to take it lying down. Brewer issued an executive order barring drivers licenses and any public benefits to any illegal...

Ray Blehar is a long time DC investigator and points out some truths about the freeh report. Yeah, he's a PSU MBA, but very sharp and this is his business. He actually comes to accuse someone working on that report of altering and/or forging e-mails (He's referring to exhibits 2A, C, and D I believe). He also has some not so complimentary comments about freeh and his career. He basically pins this on the State, for their coverup of 1998 and says it was reinforced within the Penn State B.O.T. through Ken Frazier (Merck attorney) and a lot of the...
