UPDATED: Obama administration using housing department in effort to diversify neighborhoods
Fox News
"In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America’s neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.
"The policy is called, "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.
"HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July." Read more:

Obama bureaucrat claims zip code determines your life ""This is just the latest of a series of attempts by HUD to social engineer the American people," said Ed Pinto, of the American Enterprise Institute. "It started with public housing and urban renewal, which failed spectacularly back in the 50's and 60's. They tried it again in the 90's when they wanted to transform house finance, do away with down payments, and the result was millions of foreclosures and financial collapse.”
UPDATE: Before It's News "I’m sure glad to know that it wasn’t my mother’s drug habit and poor life choices that made us poor. It was our zipcode."
Eileen Luefft at FreedomWorks: Still time to comment...still under proposal. Specifics of the proposed rule are lacking. Now published in the Federal Register and undergoing a 60-day comment period, the rule, “does not prescribe or enforce specific” policies.

Major Hasan’s Death Spree; Political correctness has trumped truth in the Fort Hood massacre.
Michelle Malkin
"Americans obsessed over the O. J. Simpson, Casey Anthony, and Jodi Arias
trials. Gun-control lobbyists turned Newtown, Aurora, and Tucson into national
awareness-raising, fundraising, and legislation-promoting campaigns. But where
are the celebrity lobbyists and high-profile advocates for the victims of the
bloodthirsty Muslim vigilante Nidal Hasan?
"The White House, which downplayed the terrorist mass murder as “workplace violence,” encouraged national apathy about his evil acts. Our soldiers deserve better. Here are three facts you’ve probably forgotten — or never knew — about the Fort Hood terror spree.".... Full Article
...."One e-mail from an Army investigator before the Fort Hood massacre fretted: “Had
we launched an investigation of Hasan we’d have been crucified.”"
"Instead, 13 soldiers and one unborn child paid with their lives for our country’s reckless political correctness and bureaucratic fecklessness." Emphasis added, TD

From Russia, With Hate: Sodomy Lobby Now Dictating U.S. Foreign Policy
The Other McCain "The astute reader will perceive how the whole “neocon imperialist crusader” philosophy of Bush administration foreign policy, which Obama supposedly was going to reverse, has instead been simply converted to other purposes. Whereas the Republicans were going to spread “democracy” to the Middle East at the point of a bayonet, now the Obama regime aims to spread cultural liberalism by means of diplomatic hardball. This is a further sop to the same vocal minority that supports John Kerry’s recognition of foreign gay marriages for immigration purposes."

Putin isn’t just humiliating Washington – he’s testing it "If Mr. Obama is prepared to show that there are repercussions for gross Russian misbehaviour, next month’s G20 summit in St. Petersburg (and a possible follow-up meeting between the two presidents) presents an opportunity. At long last, Mr. Obama could send a corrective message by not attending."
Obama's Russia reset unravels "But analysts said the talk of Snowden’s role in the cancellation obscured a more basic reality: The U.S.-Russia relationship is now so frosty that it didn’t appear the two presidents would actually accomplish enough to merit such a high-profile meeting."

Ann Coulter: Bill O’Reilly is smarter than Lawrence O’Donnell
First some background on this: MSNBC's O'Donnell Distorts O'Reilly, Touts 'Proof' Out-of-Wedlock Birth Not So Bad
"And, while O'Donnell claimed that O'Reilly "defended" the shooting of Trayvon Martin, O'Reilly actually asserted that "it was wrong for Zimmerman to confront Martin based on his appearance," which hardly amounts to a total defense of Zimmerman's actions." Full article
Ann Coulter "After attacking Bill O’Reilly’s history last week, I’ll defend his sociology this week. On Monday, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell ridiculed Fox News’ O’Reilly for saying that single motherhood is responsible for the the high black crime rate.
"O’Reilly said, quite correctly: “The reason there is so much violence and chaos in the black precincts is the disintegration of the African-American family. Right now, about 73 percent of all black babies are born out of wedlock. That drives poverty. And the lack of involved fathers leads to young boys growing up resentful and unsupervised. And it has nothing to do with slavery. It has everything to do with you Hollywood people and you derelict parents.”
O’Donnell mocked O’Reilly, saying that “the struggles of black America have nothing to do with slavery in Bill O’Reilly’s very narrow and uneducated mind.”"....

Guess Who is Getting 400 Death Threats Per Minute?
DC Clothesline "Sometimes I am really ashamed to be part of the human race. How on earth can there be so many haters in this world that anyone could get 400 death threats in one minute? We aren’t talking about The Pope or Barack Obama here. We aren’t talking about Mohamed Morsi. We are talking about George Zimmerman’s family."
The article links to this UK Daily Mail column:
'We have to monitor social media and the internet to see if there are any rallies nearby that pose a specific threat and we avoid them,' he said.
'The death threats usually come on social media, some are emailed. There’s a lot of "you better watch your back, I know where u are, I’m going to get you".
'Social media is a lot more bold. "I’m in Florida, I’m going to find you, I’m going to kill you, get you, we know where you are, etc." and "Say hi to Trayvon Martin when I kill you".
'He said some of them allude to Trayvon Martin, but most of them do not.'
Zimmerman said the threats sometimes average 400 per minute.
Speaking about a time he was threatened in a Starbucks in Washington DC...

Holy Cow! Can Anthony Weiner REALLY Be This Stupid?
Calling your opponent "Grandpa" while at an AARP meeting?
Yid With Lid "If you think that getting caught in a sexting scandal, being forced to resign from Congress, running for mayor and having your campaign destroyed by another sexting scandal is the extent of Anthony Weiner's stupidity--you ain't seen nothing yet.
"Today the self-destructive Weiner was at a forum for Mayoral candidates sponsored by AARP the progressive organization for senior citizens. Before he forum Weiner had a conversation with his 69-year-old opponent George McDonald. When Weiner greeted the Republican McDonald he touched his opponents chest. "....
Things went downhill from there.

Obama’s Global-Warming Folly ; No, Mr. President, we don’t need a war on coal.
Charles Krauthammer This is only part of Mr. Krauthammer's article, but we have posted an extra large portion of it- for those not inclined to do more than merely skim this blog- so you can see Krauthammer's main point:
...."For the sake of argument, nonetheless, let’s concede that global warming is
precisely what Obama thinks it is. Then answer this: What in God’s name is his
massive new regulatory and spending program — which begins with a war on coal
and ends with billions in more subsidies for new Solyndras — going to do about
it?
"The U.S. has already radically cut CO2 emissions — more than any country on earth since 2006, according to the International Energy Agency. Emissions today are back down to 1992 levels.
"And yet, at the same time, global emissions have gone up. That’s because — surprise! — we don’t control the energy use of the other 96 percent of humankind.
"At the heart of Obama’s program are EPA regulations that will make it
impossible to open any new coal plant and will systematically shut down existing
plants. “Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they’re having a war on
coal,” explained one of Obama’s climate advisers. “On the other hand, a war on
coal is exactly what’s needed.”
"Net effect: tens of thousands of jobs killed, entire states impoverished. This at a time of chronically and crushingly high unemployment, slow growth, jittery markets, and deep economic uncertainty.
"But that’s not the worst of it. This massive self-sacrifice might be
worthwhile if it did actually stop global warming and save the planet. What
makes the whole idea nuts is that it won’t. This massive self-inflicted economic
wound will have no effect on climate change."...Read more...

LOL — Vile Obama Video, Going Viral in Egypt
Grumpy Opinions "Remember when Hillary blamed Benghazi on the “vile” Muhammad Video – Well some folks in Egypt have made a video too- "
Language advisory-in the subtitles!
"Well if that was cause for rioting in Egypt and the attack at Benghazi, brace yourself… The Obamaites are about to freak, cause this Egyptian video damn sure insults their Messiah.. In fact it not so politely tells Obama to ...shove his aid where the sun doesn’t shine..
"She doesn’t say much about John McCain, she let the picture do that for her…
"And she flat out accuses Barack Obama of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood …." (Their words, not mine.TD)

How the Vietnam War Was Won and Lost
Prager University "Most of what you believe about the Vietnam War isn't true. In this second installment of Prager University's "Wisdom of the Masters" series, foreign policy expert, Bruce Herschensohn, explains how the U.S. Congress turned victory in the Vietnam War into defeat."
Even then, the Democrats had an investment in American failure.
How the Russian press looks at the US embassy closings
Pravda (for you young Obama voters, Pravda has for decades been a propaganda voice of the Communist government, first for the Soviet Union and now for the present government of Russia). Think Putin. Via Lucianne."However, there are other points of view. "If this is such a serious threat, why did the President go to play golf, why did he not address the American people? Maybe they are just trying to make mountains out of molehills to distract the media attention from Benghazi, IRS, and NSA spyware? "...
.. According to the American political scientist Mike Baker, many military veterans and U.S. law enforcement agencies believe that the terrorist alert announced this weekend is ungrounded. "The problem is that Obama cannot decide whether Al-Qaeda is on the run or the al-Qaeda is a threat to the American people," said Baker. It seems, however, that in this instance it was an operation for domestic consumption designed to rehabilitate the "Big Brother.""
Hey, these people should know "Big Brother" when they see him.
