Farrakhan rejoices that America is losing its Southwest states

TheBlaze  "However, The minister sounded overjoyed that minority births outnumber white births in America, according to recent US Census reports.  Given the news, Farrakhan noted that white people will soon “be the minority in their own country that they took from the native people.”  He also projected that minorities will soon “become governor of every state.” "



Rush Limbaugh addressed this issue today:  "And that's when he "went on to declare that he was 'sad that Mexico lost California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado' after the Mexican-American War 'trickery.'" Then he said it's payback time because "white people will soon 'be the minority in their own country that they took from the native people.'" Now, we sit here and we laugh at this stuff, but we're talking about somebody's got a sizeable audience. We're talking about somebody that wields a fair amount of influence within his community.

"Yeah, we've had our share of fun with Minister Farrakhan, and we've laughed at him, but this is serious stuff."


Rev. Wright Magazine Featured Obama on Cover with Farrakhan

"To this day, Barack Obama continues to insist he was shocked and surprised to discover that Reverend Jeremiah Wright had bizarre racist views. 
"Now Tom Blumer has discovered images of Wright’s radical newsmagazineTrumpet—and look who was featured on the cover of that magazine at least three times: BizzyBlog - Attention Stanley Kurtz, Re Obama, Wright, Trumpet: I’ve Got You Covered.
"Here’s one of the images, featuring pictures of Barack Obama, Rev. Wright — and Louis Farrakhan. Isn’t that cozy?
"And if you think Barack Obama didn’t know he was featured on this cover, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you....."Notice who’s missing? Martin Luther King, Jr."  Little Green Footballs

The Texas Primaries Updated

The Texas GOP senate primary; Update: Romney clinches nomination; Update: Cruz forces runoff with Dewhurst   "Three things to watch tonight. One: Texas is going to put Romney over the top in delegates so we may get a formal victory speech from Mitt.".... 

Update: Mitt Romney is now officially your Republican nominee for president. 

Update: Close but no cigar for Dewhurst. The runoff is set for July 31.

Today's GOP primary in Texas follows nasty campaigns    "Some of the campaigning has been truly nasty. That's particularly been the case in the race for the senate seat of retiring Kay Bailey Hutchison. The two frontrunners, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz, have called each other liars in television ads.

"Some observers say the attack ads are part of a "blood sport" political culture in Texas, while others say the personal attacks have been the invariable consequence of conservatives -- who differed little politically -- trying to distinguish themselves from their opponents."

Obama May Lose To A Grass-Roots Operation Chaos In Texas  "The voters in West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky, and possibly Texas seem to be doing their own "Operation Chaos," but so far as I know, Rush Limbaugh has had nothing to do with it.  In fact, this looks to be a totally grass-roots inspired Operation Chaos.  Seems as if Democratic voters still see a lot of embarrassment to be had in voting against the candidate who has already secured the Democratic nomination." "

Neal Boortz; Forward fading?   "Then yesterday I see this headline in The Hill: “Obama team struggles to find 2012 reelection campaign theme.”  Wait a durn minute .. I thought we already had a theme or a slogan.  What happened to “forward?” "


What to Watch for When Primary Results Come  "But the primary will decide legislative and other nominations, and it could answer some questions that aren’t even on the ballot." 


Will Fear Decide Texas Senate Race?  "One source familiar with Texas politics who supports Cruz says that he knows “a number of significant donors” who also have business interests in the state and have been “told by their lobbyists in Austin, ‘Don’t dare give money to Ted, don’t endorse Ted . . . because if you do you’ll never get anything else through in Austin.’”

Obama ducks calls to release his collegiate transcripts

The Washington Times  "But decades after Mr. Obama completed his own college course work, his academic performance is still a mystery. Before and after his election as president, Mr. Obama has refused to release his college transcripts from his days as an undergraduate and a law school student.

"Most presidents’ academic records are made public by the time they reach the highest office in the land, either with their consent or by someone else digging them up."....

"In 1999, the New Yorker magazine uncovered George W. Bush’s college records as he was running for the GOP presidential nomination. It confirmed what Mr. Bush had been saying all along — that he was a “C” student at Yale University.

"Mr. Hess said there is no correlation between college grades and performance as president.

" “It turns out to be not much of a predictor,” the Brookings scholar said. “Franklin Roosevelt wasn’t a super academic. Harry Truman never even went to college. We know the problems of George W. Bush. Ronald Reagan I don’t think ever made Phi Beta Kappa.” "

Getting out while the going is good

Rick Moran  "It should come as no surprise that women in Afghanistan who are financially able to leave are beginning to depart for friendlier climes before the Taliban takes over again."
Quoting the Guardian:

Speaking to the Observer, Kakar said negotiations between the government and the Taliban and other insurgent groups were ignoring women's rights. A recent survey by charity ActionAid suggested 86% of Afghan women were fearful of a return to Taliban-style rule. One in five worried about the education of their daughters but 72% said their lives were better now than a decade ago.
