Black Lawmakers Plot 'Walkout Strategy' During Holder Contempt Vote

National Journal  "The Congressional Black Caucus has called a members-only "emergency" meeting on Thursday to plot a "walkout strategy" ahead of the scheduled contempt vote of Attorney General Eric Holder later in the day.

"The plans, detailed in an email from the executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus obtained by the Alley, include circulating a letter disapproving of the vote and having lawmakers walk out of the Capitol to hold a press conference during the roll call.

"The letter, a draft of which is being circulated for signatures, accuses the GOP leadership of "rushing recklessly to a contempt vote." The letter is being circulated among the Black, Hispanic, Asian and Progressive caucuses, among other."

Good Grief!… New Obama Regulations Limit Slope on Mini-Golf Holes

TheGatewayPundit

Quoting CNS:

Although the Justice Department has extended the deadline for America’s hotels to comply with regulations regarding handicap access to swimming pools, new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines are already being applied at miniature golf courses, driving ranges, amusement parks, shooting ranges and saunas.Among the provisions in the “Revised ADA Standards for Accessible Design,” which went into effect on March 15, is one requiring businesses to allow miniature horses on their premises as guide animals for the disabled. Another limits the height of slopes on miniature golf holes. (Emphasis in the original)

CPUSA Says Re-electing Obama is “Absolutely Essential”

Canada Free Press  "Since 1988, the CPUSA has not run its own candidates for president and vice-president, preferring instead to work through the Democratic Party. Its support for Obama in 2008 and again this year has been open and outspoken.  (Emphasis added)

"The Case article offers a rationale, mostly on economic grounds, for getting Obama re-elected to a second term. He claims that the Republicans intend to do on a national level what Scott Walker has done as governor in Wisconsin—reduce government spending and the power of organized labor. Case refers to the prospect of a national “Walker-like regime.” Case laments the fact that “many private sector workers,” including 25 percent of Wisconsin union members, supported Walker.

"In that case, as we have reported ^[2], Obama’s progressive allies were soundly defeated by Walker and his conservative backers."

Ann Coulter: THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN U.S. HISTORY

Ann Coulter  "The Obama administration has almost certainly engaged in the most shockingly vile corruption scandal in the history of the country, not counting the results of Season Eight on "American Idol."

"Administration officials intentionally put guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, so that when the guns taken from Mexican crime scenes turned out to be American guns, Democrats would have a reason to crack down on gun sellers in the United States.

"Democrats will never stop trying to take our guns away. They see something more lethal than a salad shooter and wet themselves."

...."Unfortunately for the Democrats, some brave whistleblower inside the government leaked details of this monstrous scheme. As soon as Congress and the public demanded answers, Holder clammed up. He just says "oops" -- and accuses Republicans of racism."

 "Either you or your most senior advisers were involved in managing Operation Fast and Furious and the fallout from it, including the false Feb. 4, 2011 letter provided by the attorney general to the committee," Issa wrote to Obama. "Or, you are asserting a presidential power that you know to be unjustified solely for the purpose of further obstructing a congressional investigation."

Supreme Court Upholds Immigration Checks, but Administration Counters

" "The Supreme Court handed down its decision on the Arizona immigration law yesterday, striking some portions of the law in a 5-3 ruling but unanimously upholding immigration status checks by law enforcement. The Obama Administration countered by announcing it would tell Arizona to release most of the people whose status was in question." "

Boortz: Supreme Court fallout on Arizona ruling
"As the opposition, Justice Scalia wrote:  “to say, as the Court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of the Immigration Act that the President declines to enforce boggles the mind.  If securing its territory in this fashion is not within the power of Arizona, we should cease referring to it as a sovereign State.” "

NOW IT'S ABOUT HOLDER'S SKIN COLOR?

Mychal Massie  "It is not about race – and shame on Sharpton for attempting to make it so. How dare he use race as a ploy to prevent Holder from cooperating with Congress and any other law enforcement agency that deems it necessary to investigate his role in the commission of a crime. The idea that Holder is somehow above the law or that he is protected from having to comply with the investigation in totality flies in the face of our system of jurisprudence.

"President Nixon and all of his senior staff had to comply with the investigation into Watergate; all those involved in the savings and loan scandal known as the Keating Five had to comply – to mention but two incidents. But Sharpton would have us believe that because Holder is black and the attorney general he is somehow above this. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was held in contempt of Congress and was forced to comply with the congressional investigation into the firing of Justice Department attorneys."

How to Say, “Fork Obama!” Without Being Arrested? (Updated)

John W. Lillpop  "In his hyper-egotistical, narcissistic mind, President Obama assumes that he has a strangle- hold on the Latino vote, both legal and otherwise.
"However, the Secret Service, those sterling folks charged with protecting the President from harm, are apparently not quite so sure.
"As reported at the reference, in part, Latinos gathered for a speech by The One in Florida were not allowed to keep their forks, and knives were missing altogether before Obama took the stage:" 

....it was announced that forks would be collected before Obama took the stage. It was also mentioned that knives, too, were entirely absent from the lunch for "a reason."

 

  Spork Semper Tyrannis  "Of course, the Latinos present weren't offended because cutlery is always removed from a room in which Obama speaks and...wait. Hang on. What's that..?

"Oh, we need to offer a correction. It turns out there are tons of dinners and fundraising events where the crowd is considered trustworthy enough to keep their forks. Assuming they're Hollywood celebrities or, you know, not Latinos."

Who will clean up the wreckage caused by the Obama "foreign policy"

Putin in Israel upstages Obama, points up waning U.S. influence  "At the same time, it  points up a corresponding weakening of U.S. influence -- most notably by an inevitable comparison with Barack Obama's failure to visit Israel on his presidential watch.  While Obama was quick to visit Cairo and to reach out to the Arab world after his inauguration, he has yet to set foot in Israel three years later -- an absence that has soured many Israelis.
"Furthermore, Putin's presence in Israel, coupled with Obama's absence, serves to underscore a raft of U.S. diplomatic failures in responding to the "Arab Spring" -- with the White House initially celebrating popular revolutions and then only belatedly discovering the dark side of these upheavals."

Israel to press visiting Putin on Iran  "The Iranian nuclear program will top the agenda — and the steely Russian president, widely viewed as coddling the Iranians, may hold the key to avoiding a potential slide into another Middle East war."


Putin to Israel: Iran won't get a nuclear bomb. No need for an Israeli strike  "The high point of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s noteworthy 90-minute talk with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem Monday, June 25, was Putin’s firm assertion that Iran will not get a nuclear bomb. This is disclosed exclusively by DEBKAfile’s Jerusalem and Moscow sources."

Jerusalem Post

Le Point, France: Five months before the presidential elections, Israel is worried about a U.S. policy considered timorous in regards to Iran — worried enough to disrupt the game.  "But Netanyahu, an Israeli who, having spent a portion of his life in the U.S., knows it best, is led to believe that Obama's opponent, Mitt Romney when he declared recently: "If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon. If you elect me as president, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon." Netanyahu is skeptical about the chances of Romney winning the White House, but remembers that after his 2008 election, Obama offered a hand to the Iranians to create more normalized relations. And Tehran took the opportunity to accelerate its nuclear program."

Kitabat, Iraq: A Letter to President Obama    
"Would you be incapable of suppressing the militias and other armed groups if they were to attack the people in one of your states and take over the streets? Would you stay at home and leave the people to fend for themselves? So, why did you leave us at the mercy of militias although you are well aware of the situation on the ground? You are the ones who brought about the new complicated situation in Iraq that is prevalent today."

IS PANETTA COVERING UP BIN LADEN MOVIE LEAKS?

Big Hollywood  "Of course, Panetta is working for Barack Obama, who certainly plans to use the movie to bolster his image, so it’s a safe bet to assume someone in the Administration is lying here. To get the unvarnished truth, we turn to Judicial Watch, which was the gutsy organization that filed suit to gain access to the documents detailing exactly what the Administration did do.

"On July 13, 2011, internal CIA email indicates that Bigelow and Boal were granted access to “the Vault,” which is described as the CIA building where some of the tactical planning for the bin Laden raid took place:"...

" As Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton cogently stated:"

These documents, which took nine months and a federal lawsuit to disgorge from the Obama administration, show that politically-connected film makers were giving extraordinary and secret access to bin Laden raid information, including the identity of a Seal Team Six leader. It is both ironic and hypocritical that the Obama administration stonewalled Judicial Watch’s pursuit of the bin Laden death photos, citing national security concerns, yet seemed willing to share intimate details regarding the raid to help Hollywood filmmakers release a movie ‘perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost’ to the Obama campaign.

Should Christians Disengage from Politics?

Sodahead "There used to be a time when we did live a quiet and tranquil life because there was a time when Christians engaged their world culturally and politically. The goal has never been to save the world through politics but to put politics in its proper place. Our false sense of quietude and tranquility have gotten us to the place where we are losing what many fought so hard to gain.

"What if a government starts molesting people for their beliefs or even their mere existence? What should a Christian do? The slave trade, the holocaust, and racial discrimination come to mind. The anti-slave trade was headed up by Christians. Study the life of William Wilberforce (1759-1833) if you don’t believe me. So was the civil rights movement."  Via Godfather Politics
