Los Zetas Drug Cartel Seizes Ranches In Texas Not True? Well…….

Right Pundits.com "Two separate reports have said that the infamous Los Zetas Drug Cartel have seized 2 US ranches in Texas, these reports appear to be inaccurate but not totally. The original reports said that Los Zetas, a deadly drug syndicate operating in Mexico had taken control of US owned ranches in Texas and that the ranch owners were unharmed. Had this happened in this way, we would be looking at an escalation of hostilities that we haven’t seen to date."

BREAKING: MULTIPLE RANCHES IN LAREDO, TX TAKEN OVER BY LOS ZETAS   "Publisher's Note: We are now receiving numerous conflicting reports regarding the veracity of this article.

Hat tip to Alan Caruba, blogger at  Warning Signs . Alan sent the tip that this ranch invasion story might not be true so we posted the above and deleted the previous stories. Time will tell as long as the MSM decides following this story will not hurt the Obama administration.

Professors and Pharisees

Mike Adams "But the increasing secularization of higher education has reduced the felt obligation of academics to adhere to the truth. In fact, many question the very existence of truth, perhaps as a way of avoiding condemnation for refusing to tell it.
"For ages, professors have been guilty of advancing ideas before they were supported by evidence. Today, they are guilty of the far greater misdeed of continuing to advance ideas long after they have been refuted by evidence. Examples of this trend are numerous."

The Blame Stream Media and the Sherrod Charade

Doug Giles, Townhall "You progressives have no viable answers for our vicious problems; your policies suck; your congressional approval ratings are lower than the teats on a pregnant dachshund; the president’s approval ratings are a close second; you’re losing voters in droves. So … what do you do? Scream racism! Blame, blame, blame. I can’t wait to hear Charlie Rangel blame Bush or some white dude for his career of corruption. You wait … it’s coming."

The Obama Tax Tsunami is Here

Heritage "The American people are already well aware of President Barack Obama's historic expansion of government spending: his $862 billion economic stimulus that has completely failed to keep unemployment below 8% as promised; his still-expanding health care law which the Congressional Budget Office now admits will cost more than $1 trillion; and an Obama budget that increases government spending by $12,000 per household. But all that spending is just the first half of President Obama's game plan."

Not Obama Is Not Enough

Victor Davis Hanson "We need some notion of a contracted agenda, so that conservative voters can hold conservative politicians to account in this age of anti-incumbency. Voters wanted closed borders, balanced budgets, ethical members of Congress, and less government between 2001 and 2006. They believed that all of that had been promised — and then were sorely disappointed.
"In short, conservative voters want to see something specific — as much to keep their own honest as to defeat the other."

Inspector General investigating Department of Interior report falsely claiming experts endorsed offshore drilling ban

Mark Hemingway  " "It is clear now more than ever that the government’s deepwater drilling decisions need to be guided by strong science, not partisan politics. If the Obama Administration purposefully manipulated the views of known experts on deepwater drilling and deceived the public, there should be serious consequences," Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., the ranking Republican on the Natural Resources Committee, said in a statement. "The current moratorium on deepwater energy exploration is costing Americans their jobs and causing significant economic harm to a region that cannot afford more hardships." "

Obama's Poll Numbers Down, Imaginary Racism Up

Ann Coulter "When the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal broke during the 2008 campaign, the first response of Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent was to demand that they start randomly picking conservatives -- "Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares -- and call them racists." Ackerman, frequent guest on MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," continued on Journolist: "What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left."

Gazastan fires Iranian made missile at Israel

Shawarma Mayor "Bombardment of Israeli civilians resumed today with continuing deafening silence from every world body and media outlet who are consumed with admonition of Israel at every chance they get."

Journolist: Limbaugh responds to JournoList death wish report

Byron York "As reported in the Daily Caller, Sarah Spitz, producer* of the KCRW public radio program “Left, Right and Center,” which is heard on a number of NPR stations across the country, wrote on JournoList that if she witnessed Limbaugh dying of a heart attack, she would “laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out." “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” Spitz wrote, according to the Daily Caller account. “But he deserves it.” "
