Communist Van Jones went from the WH to a job at The Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank: Washington Post reported that “seed money for the center pledged by such deep-pocketed Democrats as financier George Soros and sub-prime mortgage billionaires, Herbert and Marion Sandler, assisted in the liberal think tank's formation. So who ran these ads in Mexican newspapers that advertised free houses in the US? Because we know w/ unerring certainty that illegals/latinos were getting the bulk of sub-prime mtges w/out proof of citizenship or income---if they could breathe, and make an X on the mtge app,...

Congressman Jason Altmire was just on Fox News. They hyped it up like he would finally make a decision. He didn't. All he did was firmly decide that he hadn't decided but he comes off as a FRAUD since you can tell he will vote Yes but is stringing his constituents along to make them think he is somehow undecided.

WASHINGTON — Still seeking votes for his proposed health care overhaul, President Barack Obama appears ready to reverse his position and allow unpopular deal-sweetening measures in the hopes of finding Democratic support for legislation whose future will be decided in coming days. Increasingly eager to finish work on his top domestic priority, Obama was set to head to northeast Ohio on Monday with a final sales pitch for health care legislation that the top Democratic vote-counter in the House said lacked support to pass. Obama's top political adviser, David Axelrod, said he was "absolutely confident" the measure would pass during...

Spring break is either upon Ann Arbor families or will soon arrive to scoop up students sending them bursting out of schools doors with the ferocity of unbridled pent-up spirit. Of course most kids will be thinking about everything from short trips out of town to getting away from the books, classrooms, and endless studying. Parents on the other hand might be thinking of a short and much-needed break from the unending cycle of shuttling their children from one school to another and from one extra curricular engagement to another. Whew! Time out on that! Well while spring break can...

“Human rights are universal, but their experience is local.

Shepard Smith reporting... Rep. Hoyer quoted as saying Pelosi has decided to pitch pro-life Dems over the side and pass Obamacare without them... unknown how they will get the votes... still rumors of parliamentary tricks to pass a bill for which they do not have the votes.

I've added to my blog a post showing that OIP Attorney Linden Joesting, when asked point-blank on Feb 22nd whether Miss Tickly's understanding that Obama's BC was amended is correct, refused to correct MT's understanding. After 2 days of asking for clarification on the question, she responded 3 days later by saying she didn't have time to answer the question. The legal meaning of the denial of access, which has been documented through multiple consistent sources, stands. It would have taken no more time for Joesting to say that MT misunderstood than to say she ddn't have time to answer...

Mitt Romney's new book, "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness," will debut on top of the New York Times bestseller list due out March 21.Romney's book tour has, so far, attracted pretty large crowds, serving -- along with the book sales -- to reassure his supporters that, though he may not draw Sarah Palin style hordes, he's a figure of genuine popular interest. http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0310/Romney_tops_bestseller_list.html?showall

In Letter to Reid, 41 Republican Senators Commit to Rejecting All Byrd Rule Violations ‘The Byrd Rule, as you know, was created by Senator Byrd to ensure that reconciliation bills were not used to enact policy changes, the primary purpose of which is not specifically related to the federal budget. As it takes 60 votes to waive the Byrd Rule, we can ensure that any provision that trips the Byrd Rule will be stripped from the bill, which will require that the bill be sent back to the House for further consideration and additional votes’ WASHINGTON, DC – The Senate...

Meanwhile, White House firm on March 18 vote. Dems are short of votes. White House says that if this doesn't pass before Easter recess, bill is dead. We'll see.

For the administration, there is also the concern that millions of foreclosures could delay or even reverse the economy's tentative recovery -- the last thing it wants in an election year. Taking effect on April 5, the program could encourage hundreds of thousands of delinquent borrowers who have not been rescued by the loan modification program to shed their houses through a process known as a short sale, in which property is sold for less than the balance of the mortgage. Lenders will be compelled to accept that arrangement, forgiving the difference between the market price of the property and...

Back in 2003 a Congressional bill was offered to give credit to Mexicans who work here that would have enabled them to collect Social Security. Again, in 2004, Pres George W. Bush wanted to give SS to illegal temps after they returned to Mexico. It never passed b/c there was poor data WRT the large numbers of Mexican workers who violate our borders, and work under several false identities. There was no way to control this so the SS giveaway bill was filed away. Now this bill is being revived because Mexican Pres. Felipe Calderon wants the United States to...

Per Fox, this is Obama's latest claim. CBO says it's the opposite: ObamaCare will raise deficit by this amount over 10 years. White House may now be back-pedaling on this.

The police came with bullhorns to impoverished neighborhoods near the epicenter of Chile's devastating earthquake, warning looters to return what they stole or face police raids. And so they did, depositing everything from mattresses to refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. It took 35 truckloads to recover it all. Together with looted merchandise recovered by police, the material is worth nearly $2 million, officers said.
