The real enemy of America is not the Tea Party, its Progressive/Liberal policies

Don’t fall for the misinformation being put out by Progressives with the help on the state-run media that paints the Tea Party as the enemy.

It’s a big lie repeated over and over again by the very people that are responsible for spending and taxing this country into near oblivion. In fact the amount of vitriol coming from The Left is proof that Tea Party is on the right track in returning the United States into a sound fiscally responsible status.

Progressive, who even lie about what they call themselves, i.e. Liberals, only care about taxing everything that moves, and spending the money on programs that create more government dependency. They don’t believe in freedom of the individual because they think people are stupid and need to be led by the nose by Harvard and Yale trained elites.
A Progressive’s worst nightmare is a highly educated and motivated populace with the drive to achieve great things WITHOUT the help of mother government.

That’s why they’ve made it their business to control every public school system in the nation to ensure that our most precious resource, our children are hopeless locked in failing schools. Keep the kids ignorant so they become more dependent on the state. Graduation rates for African Americans and Latinos are failing just the way Progressives want them to.

What does the Tea Party want?

They want America to strive, not just exist. They want greater freedom for all to create businesses, with the help of lower taxes, less government regulation that is hamstring the economy. The Tea Party want to increase opportunity, not stifle it.

That’s why Progressives must paint the Tea Party as monsters, or even Terrorists because they see them as their biggest threat to crushing once and for all the Nanny State Progressives love so much.

Two AutoZone employees jeered by Bronx residents for catching criminals

As New Yorker I feel totally disgusted and ashamed of Bronx citizens that had the audacity to side with a couple of low crooks that were chased and stopped by two AutoZone workers for shoplifting merchandize.

Who are these people that would brazenly side with prerps instead of two guys trying to do the right thing? These jeering people must have been criminally minded menaces themselves that serve no purpose other than to suck off the tit of those in society who are productive.

It’s a very disturbing thing indeed that reflects poorly on the Bronx and the city of New York.


New York Post

Bronx auto-store clerk Nelson Lozanda made the call of duty yesterday, chasing and tackling a suspected shoplifter, then holding him down with one hand while phoning cops with the other. "There are a lot of thieves coming in here. They are thinking just because it's not our store, we are not going to respond to it," said Lozada, 23, one of two workers who grabbed the alleged perp about a block from an AutoZone store on East 149th Street.

The drama started in the store at about noon when a man set off alarms because he had allegedly stashed an electric drill and an Allen wrench set, worth a total of about $80, in his bag.

"As we were trying to stop him, he ran into the lot," said Lozada, noting that the store is hit by up to four shoplifting attempts a day.

The man then pulled out a filthy syringe, he said.
"He said, 'I'll give you AIDS with this syringe!' Then he ran," Lozada said.

But Lozada, who was hired six months ago, and assistant manager Oscar Castelan, 19, chased him.

The pair tackled the man about a block away. Lozada held the suspect in a chokehold with his right arm and dialed 911 with his left hand.

But the alleged thief still had some fight in him. He wriggled free, swung at Castelan and put the assistant manager in a full nelson.

Meanwhile, a crowd gathered -- with some onlookers threatening the AutoZone staffers for daring to stop the suspected thief.

Lozada said he and his co-worker tried to ignore the onlookers' contemptuous cries of "It's not your store! Why do you care?"

"We're trying to do the right thing, and they're sticking up for the bad guy. It's disappointing," Lozada said.
As the crowd grew more hostile, Lozada and Castelan grew weary -- and the perp fled, leaving behind the stolen goods.

"We basically just grabbed the stuff and went back to the store," Lozada said.

Cops arrived about 10 minutes too late. They said they were searching for the suspect.
But shortly after the mayhem, The Post found the suspect shuffling along East 138th Street.

"They didn't have any right to do that to me," the man said, pointing to a black left eye and bloody scab on the back of his head. "I'm homeless. I'm not going to steal from other homeless people.

"Better to steal from the store."

PAC puts up Rick Perry campaign ad for president

I think if Perry were to get into this thing, it changes the game in a big way.

He becomes an immediate front-runner that adds another important voice to the debate. It would make the rest of the field step up their game.

And that’s a good thing.

The Blaze

A new super-PAC supporting Texas Governor Rick Perry’s hopeful presidential bid is releasing a statewide ad campaign in Iowa hailing Perry as the “better option” for president. The group Jobs for Iowa reportedly told Politico that it has spent just under $40,000 for two week’s of air time on Fox News Channel in the state.

According to reports, the group is speculated to have the financial backing of affluent Texas Republicans who might like to expand their pro-Perry ad campaign to other states moving forward.

Protestors stripped nude naked on Wall Street to protest naked corporate greed

I think we should have a lot of these types of protests. Maybe there should be naked protest over high New York taxes? Bring in Pamela Anderson for that one.

New York Post

Wall Street hasn't seen cojones this big since Gordon Gekko.

A horde of 50 "actors" -- mostly disguised as dapper day traders -- suddenly stripped off their clothes and frolicked around Wall Street early yesterday morning in a bizarre protest of corporate greed.

Three of the bare-bottomed bozos -- initially dressed as a CEO, dog walker and janitor -- were collared by cops.

Christine Coleman, 22, of Queens, Eric Anderson, 31, and Aaron Mattocks, of Brooklyn, were charged with disorderly conduct and exposure for showing off their dangling commodities
Each was released with a desk summons.

But their cohorts got away scot-free in the stunt, which had been six months in the making.

The 50 actors doffed their duds at about 7 a.m. as part of a performance piece by artist Zefrey Throwell titled "Ocularpation: Wall Street."

They had descended on the Financial District playing the roles of street sweepers and secretaries. Within four minutes of baring it all, everyone dressed and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
"I saw a lady standing in front of a building and she was buck naked!" said Gamal Abouelkhair, 54, a coffee-cart owner.

The Alaskan-born Throwell, a recent transplant to New York, planned the stunt as a way to knock the buttoned-up Wall Street culture down a notch.

GOP on verge of huge, unprecedented political victory

Two can play this game!

I find the premises of this report a little ironic. It states the GOP used the threat of default to wrangle more concessions from Democrats. Well, didn’t President Obama do the same thing when he warned the country would go into Depression if we didn’t pass his stimulus bill?


The Washington Post

By all accounts, it looks like a deal is about to be announced in which the debt ceiling is hiked in exchange for the promise of major spending cuts, including to entitlements, totalling at least $2.4 trillion.

Anything can happen, but it apppears the GOP is on the verge of pulling off a political victory that may be unprecedented in American history. Republicans may succeed in using the threat of a potential outcome that they themselves acknowledged would lead to national catastrophe as leverage to extract enormous concessions from Democrats, without giving up anything of any significance in return.

Not only that, but Republicans — in perhaps the most remarkable example of political up-is-downism in recent memory — cast their willingness to dangle the threat of national crisis as a brave and heroic effort they’d undertaken on behalf of the national interest. Only the threat of national crisis could force the immediate spending cuts supposedly necessary to prevent a far more epic crisis later.

Under the emerging deal, President Obama can hike the debt limit in two stages — the first in exchange for equivalent cuts; the second after a Congressional committee comes up with second round of yet more cuts, including to entitlements. The talks appear close to resolving the spending cut“trigger” that would force the committee to act — without giving the GOP an incentive to deliberately sabotage its work. The remaining question is how to get it through the House. But a deal seems immiment.

Again and again, Dems drew lines in the sand that they promptly erased as the threat of default grew.

A clean debt ceiling hike? Dropped. Cuts to Medicare benefits? They’ll likely be in that committee’s crosshairs. The insistence on revenue hikes? Withdrawn.

What make this all the more remarkable is that throughout this process, Republicans themselves conceded not just that a debt ceiling hike would be disastrous for America, but also that it was inevitable. Yet they were still able use the threat of default as leverage. How?

The GOP were the only adults in the room that cared about the country’s financial situation. Democrats don’t give a hoot about that. They only wanna grow more government at any costs. That’s why their called Liberals! Oh, er…Progressives!

Heroic 13-year-old from Brooklyn Kirra Goddard killed by SUV while saving others

The good book says there’s no greater love than giving up your life for your fellow man. In Brooklyn New York, a 13 year old girl did just that.

New York Post

The family of the brave little Brooklyn girl who was fatally struck by an out-of-control SUV after miraculously herding six other kids out of its path remembered her today as a selfless hero who was always helping others.

"She was a hero," said a distraught Tanisha Harewood, 14, about her younger sister Kirra Goddard, 13. "She always looked out after us. If something ever happened to one of us she always came to help us. She cared about everyone in this building."
Tanisha said the sharp-eyed Kirra spotted the SUV driving wildly toward the stoop where she was sitting with the other children, including her younger sister.
"The car was driving down the block and it hit that car up there, and then he backed up. She saw it and told everyone to run. She said ‘Run, run, run!’ "

The other kids ran inside, but Kirra was sitting down and could not get up quick enough as the SUV bore down on her in reverse.

"She had her hand up and was saying: ‘Stop, stop, stop!’ Harewood said.

Kirra’s heartbroken dad, Wesley Bishop, said his selfless daughter didn’t have time to get away.
"When she stood up it was too late. She’s definitely a hero, she told all those kids to get inside," he said, describing Kirra as "loving and nice, very kind to people."

Debt Ceiling Deal Reached To Avert Default-Tea Party can declare victory!

Even though Tea Party members may not like the final deal, they can surely declare victory for getting congress to deal with fixing the country’s outrageous debt situation. They set the terms of the debate where neither establishment GOPers nor Democrats wanted to go.



It’s not a perfect fix, far from it. But, it’s a small step in the right direction.



The big loser is President Obama who stayed on the sidelines and showed just how incompetent he is as president. Next on the agenda is voting him out of office.







The Huffington Post



President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders reached historic agreement Sunday night on a compromise to permit vital U.S. borrowing by the Treasury in exchange for more than $2 trillion in long-term spending cuts.



Officials said Republican Speaker John Boehner telephoned Obama at mid-evening to say the agreement had been struck.



Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid said that both his party and opposition Republicans gave more ground than they wanted to. He said it'll take members of both political parties to pass the measure.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the pact "will ensure significant cuts in Washington spending" and he assured the markets that a first-ever default on U.S. obligations won't occur.



Both the leaders said they will brief their colleagues tomorrow on the details of the agreement.

TPM



Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has signed off on a deal to raise the debt limit pending the approval of his caucus -- and of course if can win the backing of Senate GOP leaders and then a majority of the House.



His spokesman confirms that Reid will present the deal to his caucus shortly, with the hope of holding a vote on it Sunday night, giving House leaders some running room to pass the plan before the nation's borrowing authority expires late Tuesday.



The deal works like this:

It guarantees the debt limit will be hiked by $2.4 trillion. Immediately upon enactment of the plan, the Treasury will be granted $400 billion of new borrowing authority, after which President Obama will be allowed to extend the debt limit by $500 billion, subject to a vote of disapproval by Congress.



That initial $900 billion will be paired with $900 billion of discretionary spending cuts, first identified in a weeks-old bipartisan working group led by Vice President Joe Biden, which will be spread out over 10 years.



Obama will later be able to raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion, again subject to a vote of disapproval by Congress.



That will be paired with the formation of a Congressional committee tasked with reducing deficits by a minimum of $1.2 trillion. That reduction can come from spending cuts, tax increases or a mixture thereof

Game addict Chris Staniforth, 20, killed by deep vein thrombosis playing too much Xbox

I don’t get grown men playing video games.

The Sun

A LAD of 20 has been killed by a blood clot caused by playing his Xbox for up to 12 hours at a time.

A post mortem revealed that Chris Staniforth - addicted to games such as Halo - had suffered a deep vein thrombosis. It can be triggered by sitting in one position for long spells.

Stunned dad David, of Sheffield, said: "He lived for his Xbox. I never dreamed he was in any danger.

"As a parent you think playing computer games can't do them any harm because you know what they are doing

"Kids all over the country are playing these games for long periods - they don't realise it could kill them."

Chris collapsed seconds after telling a friend how he had been experiencing a strange sensation in his chest.

The pair were chatting outside a JobCentre where Chris had an interview.

David said: "He told his friend how he was woken in the night by a strange feeling in his chest.

“Then he dropped a packet of chewing gum and as he picked it up, he jolted back and began to spasm."

Chris's friend called an ambulance - but paramedics could not save him.
A coroner yesterday confirmed DVT had caused Chris's death and it was cited on his death certificate.

Republicans and Democrats reach tentative deal on debt ceiling talks that kicks the can down the road, again!

As I expected this Kabuki dance between the Dems and the GOP was coming down to the last wire.



Basically, this deal that both sides are not going to like does nothing to stop the rate of spending.



Instead of going over the cliff at 100 mph, we’re slowing down to 92.



It’s kicking the can down the road, as usual.



ABC News



Democratic and Republican Congressional sources involved in the negotiations tell ABC News that a tentative agreement has been reached on the framework of a deal that would give the President a debt ceiling increase of up to $2.4 trillion and guarantee an equal amount of deficit reduction over the next 10 years.



The details are still being worked out, and a senior White House aide tells ABC News, "talks continue but there is no deal to report."

Congressional leaders plan to brief their members on the framework tomorrow. The reaction from both parties' rank-and-file will determine whether this tentative deal becomes a final deal.

Here, according to Democratic and Republican sources, are the key elements:



*A debt ceiling increase of up to $2.1 to $2.4 trillion (depending on the size of the spending cuts agreed to in the final deal).



*They have now agreed to spending cuts of roughly $1.2 trillion over 10 years.



* The formation of a special Congressional committee to recommend further deficit reduction of up to $1.6 trillion (whatever it takes to add up to the total of the debt ceiling increase). This deficit reduction could take the form of spending cuts, tax increases or both.



*The special committee must make recommendations by late November (before Congress' Thanksgiving recess).



* If Congress does not approve those cuts by December 23, automatic across-the-board cuts go into effect, including cuts to Defense and Medicare. This "trigger" is designed to force action on the deficit reduction committee's recommendations by making the alternative painful to both Democrats and Republicans.



* A vote, in both the House and Senate, on a balanced budget amendment.

The trigger that could lead to a debt deal

I was saying to a good friend of mine who’s really concerned about the country might go into default, not to worry.

This whole song and dance going on in Washington is exactly that, a show to scare the Be-jesus out of people, so when a deal finally gets cut, most people won’t pay attention to the details of a crappy deal that solves absolutely nothing.

The Washington Post

Look closely at the Reid and Boehner bills. The first round of cuts are pretty much the same. The joint congressional committee charged with recommending further deficit reduction is pretty much the same. The difference is that Boehner’s bill forces them to act. He ties a future increase in the debt-ceiling to the successful passage of their proposal. Reid’s bill has no such trigger. And many of the participants in this process say that is the space where a deal will be made -- or not made.

Democrats dismiss Boehner’s current offer completely.
At the New Republic, Jonathan Chait piquantly compared it to “a kidnapper who offers to give you back your child in return for $100,000 and your other child.” A senior Democratic aide in the Senate is even blunter. “That’s the one line in the sand we’ve drawn this whole time. We can’t be revisiting this in another six months.”

Most think the likely compromise is a trigger that would impose automatic, across-the-board cuts in spending if the committee fails in its mission. But Senate Democratic leadership isn’t so sure. They worry that a spending-cuts only trigger is heads, Republicans win; tails, Democrats lose. “The idea of triggers with just cuts is a non-starter. Republicans would just deadlock the committee and get the cuts they want,” continues the aide. “If there is a trigger it would have to be balanced.”

The White House proposed a balanced trigger in April: It would have automatically raised taxes and cut spending if America wasn’t on a path to balanced budgets by 2014. In his remarks on Friday morning, Obama reiterated that support. “if we need to put in place some kind of enforcement mechanism to hold us all accountable for making these reforms, I’ll support that too if it’s done in a smart and balanced way.”

BREAKING: Obama Approval Drops to New Low of 40%

Barack Obama is desperately trying to work the debt ceiling crisis as a means of trying to get his approval rating up by putting the blame on the Republicans.

I don’t see how that’s gonna work exactly considering his record of out-of-control spending.

Gallup

President Obama's job approval rating is at a new low, averaging 40% in July 26-28 Gallup Daily tracking. His prior low rating of 41% occurred several times, the last of which was in April. As recently as June 7, Obama had 50% job approval.

Obama's approval rating averaged 46% in June and was near that level for most of July; however, it has stumbled in the past few days, coinciding with intensification of the debt ceiling/budget battle in Washington.
Obama's 40% overall approval rating nearly matches the recent 41% approval Americans gave him for handling the debt ceiling negotiations. Though Americans rate Obama poorly for his handling of the situation, they are less approving of how House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are handling it. Gallup does not include ratings of Congress or congressional leaders in its Daily tracking, and thus, there is no overall job approval rating of Boehner, Reid, or Congress directly comparable to Obama's current 40% overall job approval rating.

Boehner: 'I stuck my neck out a mile' for debt-ceiling deal with White House

Despite what the Obama-suck media is screwing over the airwaves, the only people coming up with plans to address the financial situation of the United States are the Republicans.

The Democrats offer no plans and just criticize the GOP to score cheap political points with voters. Is this how a responsible political party should act?

I don’t think so.

The Hill

A defiant House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) late Friday defended his debt-ceiling plan by saying it is the only viable plan on paper so far.

The Speaker said he'd risked political capital and stuck his neck out to try to get a deal, while saying an agreement with Democrats was impossible due to their intransigence.

"I've offered ideas, I've negotiated," Boehner said in closing debate on his bill. "Not one time, not one time did the administration ever put any plan on the table. All they would do is criticize what I put out there.

"I stuck my neck out a mile to try to get an agreement with the president of the United States," Boehner continued to grumbling among Democrats. "Hey, I put revenues on the table in order to try to come to an agreement in order to avert us being where we are. But a lot of people in this town can never say yes."

Boehner closed his remarks by thundering: "This House has acted. And it is time for the administration and time for our colleagues across the aisle… put something on the table! Tell us where you are!"

Boehner defended an addition to his bill that would require both houses to pass a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution, saying the country is ready for this change.

"It's time for this to happen," he said. "It enjoys support from both houses of this Congress, and it enjoys bipartisan and widespread support across our country."

Senate Tables Boehner 3.0 Bill. Where’s the compromise by Democrats?

The House last week passed Cap, Cut, and Balance with bi-partisan support. The Democrat controlled Senate tabled the bill without even the decency of having a debate.

Last night the House passed another bill that wasn’t as good as the first as far as truly addressing the financial woes of the country. And again the Senate tabled it without a debate.

Yet still the Democrats like Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin have the gall to accuse the GOP of not wanting to compromise.

What is the GOP controlled House supposed to do when they’re the only branch of government offering plan after plan while the Democrats are the ones refusing to deal seriously with our nations spending? It’s the Democrats with Presidents Obamam’s failed policy of super spending that has put us in this situation in the first place.

Could it be that the Democrats are actively forcing a financial collapse of the United States so they can offer up even more big government to fix it?

Sure looks lie it to me?


The Caucus, New York Times

The United States Senate quickly dispatched the debt ceiling bill passed by the House Friday evening, tabling the Republican bill indefinitely and moving quickly to start consideration of a Democratic plan that would avoid default on Tuesday.

Less than two hours after House Speaker John A. Boehner pushed his bill through the House over the strenuous objections of nearly two dozen of his own Republican members, the Democratic leadership in the Senate followed through on their promise to kill his legislation.

But the move now sets up an uncertain 72 hours as the Congress moves ever closer to the Tuesday deadline when the Treasury Department says the country will default on its financial obligations without an increase in the debt ceiling.

Mr. Reid said he intends to start the legislative clock ticking on Friday on a new plan to raise the debt ceiling. But Mr. Reid could wait until later in the evening on Friday to allow more time for negotiation throughout the evening.
