Ron Paul gets 'smoked' in Nebraska

Politico  "It looks like Ron Paul isn’t going to be officially nominated for the presidency in Tampa.

His backers failed to win a plurality of delegate slots at the Nebraska GOP convention Saturday, leaving the Texas congressman short of the support necessary to have his name placed into contention at the national convention.

"According to national party rules, a candidate needs a plurality of the delegates in at least five states to have his name presented for the nomination – by falling short in Nebraska, the last state to hold its convention, Paul came up one state short."

With his foreign policy, he could run as a Democrat or even with the Peace and Freedom Party.

Updated! Egyptian Protesters Have Some Surprisingly Good Advice For Obama During Clinton’s Visit With Islamist President…

Weasel Zippers
The story: Hillary Clinton Meets With Egypt’s New Muslim Brotherhood President…
And that led to this:  Clinton to urge Egypt leaders to complete transition  "Egypt's peace treaty with Israel has been a cornerstone of regional security for a generation and ushered in an era of extensive US foreign aid to Egypt, now running at about $1.55 billion a year."
And Clinton expects the Islamists to continue this?

"People hold signs as they protest the visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton outside the Four Season Hotel, on July 14, 2012, in Cairo, Egypt. Clinton is visiting Egypt to meet with the nation’s newly elected president and other government and civil leaders to speak about the relationship between the United States and the new democracy.

Obama would much rather anger Conservatives and Fox News than to stand up to enemies who might cause him trouble. Obama is the Ensign Pulver of this world. TD




Update! Egyptians pelt Clinton motorcade with tomatoes  "Protesters chanted: "Monica, Monica", a reference to Former President Bill Clinton's extra-marital affair. Some chanted: "leave, Clinton", Egyptian security officials said.

"It was not clear who the protesters were or what political affiliations they had. Protesters outside Clinton's hotel on Saturday night chanted anti-Islamist slogans, accusing the United States of backing the Muslim Brotherhood's rise to power."

The Obamites don't seem to get along too well with the Middle-Eastern John Q. Publics, do they?

Illegal Immigrants

Why Illegal Immigrants Killing People Is Especially Galling: An Observation  "But when an illegal immigrant enters this country, and then does something wrong — like, say, killing somebody — the argument from illegal immigration supporters is always the same. They will ask: “Are illegal immigrants more likely than citizens to kill people?”

"Here’s my answer.
"I don’t care.
"They’re not supposed to be here in the first place." More here.  Patterico


Daily Beast; Supreme Court Immigration Ruling in Arizona v. U.S. Got It Backward  "The real states’-rights issue in immigration policy is whether local governments can protect their residents from harsh and overreaching federal enforcement, writes Robert Morgenthau."


National Disgrace: Illegal Aliens in Good American Jobs!  "The notion that all illegals are in jobs that Americans simply will not do is self-serving rubbish, promulgated by reckless Democrats and RINOs who could care less about the suffering of citizens, and whom look to imported illegals as a resource for growing the Democrat voter base.
"Illegal aliens who are in jobs that would be coveted by unemployed Americans, are guilty of not only violating our borders and established immigration laws, but are also equally guilty of stealing from American families."

Examiner.com: Is Obama aiding illegal aliens to vote for him?  "It's apparent that President Obama considers Americans, who want to enforce illegal immigration laws in America, to be the enemy. Even more revealing is the fact that with so much riding on the 2012 elections, Obama decided to take the time to speak to people who shouldn't be voting — legal and illegal immigrants.

"But the dirty little secret is there exists an enormous amount of proof that non-citizens are being registered to vote and they're being registered as Democrats. And our political leaders know it."

‘Joe Biden: VP of Comedy Tour’

Newsbusters  "Joe Biden has started a new tour, a “VP of Comedy Tour,” FNC’s Bret Baier noticed Thursday night in ending his show by playing a compilation put together by ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. Kimmel’s announcer promised Biden’s “every laugh” and “every gaffe.”

"That would be impossible to contain to a short montage – or really one of any length -- but this is an entertaining packaging of Biden at his most-embarrassing."

Here is a bonus for you: Jay Leno and his Joe Biden jokes  Here are two:

As you know, John McCain is an older white haired man who has been in the Senate over 20 years, voted for the Iraq war, and said Barack Obama did not have the experience to be president. I'm sorry, that’s our intro for next week when Joe Biden is on. I’m sorry, I got confused.  

And out on the campaign trail this week, once again, John McCain spoke about the nightmare of being stuck in a tiny 8 x 10 room, thinking he might go crazy. Not in Vietnam; when he got stuck in the Capitol elevator with Joe Biden and he wouldn't shut up.

Thanks Barack… Obamacare Will Add 3.8% Medicare Tax on Sales of Homes, Condos, Townhouses and Rentals

Gateway Pundit  Remember how Bush 41 caught the bejeebers over his 'read my lips" pledge?

“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”

"The GOP Conference Blog reported:

"This new ObamaCare tax is the first time the government will apply a 3.8 percent tax on unearned income. This new tax on home sales and unearned income and other Medicare taxes raise taxes more than $210 billion to pay for ObamaCare. The National Association of Realtors called this new Medicare tax on unearned income “destructive” and “ill-advised” and warned it would hurt job creation."
