Politico – by JAKE SHERMAN, ANNA PALMER and JOHN BRESNAHAN

Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock resigned Tuesday, less than 12 hours after POLITICO raised questions about tens of thousands of dollars in mileage reimbursements he received for his personal vehicle.

Schock billed the federal government and his campaign for logging roughly 170,000 miles on his personal car between January 2010 and July 2014. But when he sold that Chevrolet Tahoe in July 2014, it had only roughly 80,000 miles on the odometer, according to public records obtained by POLITICO under Illinois open records laws. The documents, in other words, indicate he was reimbursed for 90,000 miles more than his car was ever driven.   Continue reading “Aaron Schock resigns after new questions about mileage expenses”

The Arizona House of Representatives passed a new bill on Wednesday that stands to completely remove the state from the Obama administration’s plan to provide amnesty and federal benefits to illegal immigrants.

House Bill 2368, sponsored by Republican Rep. Bob Thorpe, prohibits Arizona “from funding executive orders issued by the President of the United States and policy directives from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) unless affirmed by a vote of Congress and signed into law as prescribed by the U.S. Constitution.”   Continue reading “Arizona House Passes Bill That Could Kill Obama’s Amnesty Efforts In The State”

The Anti-Media – by SM Gibson

From green screens to Hollywood production style videos that resemble a late 90’s Kid Rock video more than Middle Eastern terror propaganda, the organization known as ISIS certainly has a flair for fear-inducing theatrics.

Last month, ISIS released an amateur quality video showing Islamic State fighters smashing priceless historic relics of ancient Mesopotamia inside of the Ninawa Museum in Mosul. It turns out the precious items being destroyed weren’t the originals, which are secure in Baghdad.   Continue reading “Ancient Statues Destroyed by ISIS Were FAKES”

The latest analysis from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) shows that more than 16.4 million Americans have acquired health coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

The report issued Monday was based in part on findings from a Gallup poll, which found the uninsured rate for Americans had fallen from 20.3 percent in October 2013 – when the sign-ups began – to 12.3 percent during the first quarter of 2015. The increases come from sign-ups through the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance exchanges and the expansion of Medicaid.   Continue reading “16 million Americans gained health coverage under Obamacare, HHS says”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tom Wheeler, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, says he wasn’t influenced by politics when deciding to impose tough new restrictions on Internet service.

Wheeler is responding to criticism from congressional Republicans who say President Barack Obama unfairly inserted himself into the process led by an independent regulator. Wheeler told a House committee on Tuesday in a prepared statement that he did notice that the markets didn’t react much last fall when Obama called for Internet service to be regulated more heavily. He said that data point gave him some assurance that subjecting Internet service to stricter regulations probably wouldn’t hurt the cable and wireless industry.   Continue reading “Lawmakers weigh in on ‘net neutrality’”

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) – Avian cholera is suspected in the deaths of at least 2,000 snow geese that fell dead from the sky in Idaho while migrating to nesting grounds on the northern coast of Alaska, wildlife managers said Monday.

Dozens of Idaho Department of Fish and Game workers and volunteers at the weekend retrieved and incinerated carcasses of snow geese found near bodies of water and a wildlife management area in the eastern part of the state, said agency spokesman Gregg Losinski.   Continue reading “Thousands of snow geese fall dead from sky in Idaho”

Does Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety really have “two million members?” Is Moms Demand Action really “a powerful grassroots network of moms?” Or are these just front groups that consist of a handful of Bloomberg hirelings, pretending to represent more people than they do, to trick Americans into submitting to their fanatically-obsessed employer’s will?

Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson may have the answer. In Top 10 Astroturfers, Attkisson explains the phenomenon in which small groups of individuals pretend to be popular grassroots movements, in order to convince other people to join the fake crowd supporting or opposing a particular agenda. The article follows a very informative speech on the same subject, given by Attkisson at the University of Nevada recently.   Continue reading “Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun “Grassroots Movement” Explained?”

The current case, known as Gill et al. v. Department of Justice et al (Gill v. DOJ), seeks to halt the standards that define the entire NSI program. If Gill was successful, it could effectively stop it.

The case involves five Americans—“two photographers, one white man who is a devout Muslim, and two men of Middle Eastern and South Asian descent”—according to the original July 2014 complaint. Among others, lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union brought the case.   Continue reading “DHS considers gamers & photographers a suspicious activity”

House Democrats will introduce legislation this week that would block handguns from firing any sort of ammunition that can penetrate body armor worn by police officers.

The Modernize Law Enforcement Protection Act is expected to be introduced later this week by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.).   Continue reading “Handgun owners face new bullet ban bill”

Hot Air – by Noah Rothman

Earlier this month, General David Petraeus pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge related to his decision to pass on classified secrets to a biographer who also happened to be his mistress. The Justice Department passed on recommending jail time for the former CIA director and instead asked that the architect of the Iraq Surge simply pay a $40,000 fine.

The appearance of favoritism offered to the American general has created more problems for the administration than it resolved.   Continue reading “Despite criminal charge, David Petraeus emerges as key White House advisor on Iraq”

The Barak-8 is one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world today. A source in the program told i-HLS the system approaches full operational status.

The joint Israeli-Indian project began in 2006. India needed a defense system for its navy ships and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) offered the Barak-8. The project is led by the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMoD) with IAI as the prime contractor and another Israeli company, Rafael, as a subcontractor.   Continue reading “Barak-8 missile on the way to full operability”

Political Pistachio – by Douglas V. Gibbs

Social issues are local issues.  From a constitutional point of view, social issues are none of the federal government’s business.  The Republican Party is the party of social issues.  Was it not slavery, a social issue, that spurned the creation of the Grand Ol’ Party?

The topic of the homosexual agenda has a lot to do with the Constitution. Marriage is a State issue, and federal interference is unconstitutional. My opinion has always been “why is government involved in marriage in the first place?” The two times marriage licenses (or should we call them “just in case there’s a divorce” licenses) appeared, during reconstruction after the American Civil War, and during the 1930s under FDR, they emerged so that the government could control marriage, and tax marriage.   Continue reading “The Rule of Law and the Gay Agenda”

USA Today – by Gregory Korte

WASHINGTON — The White House is removing a federal regulation that subjects its Office of Administration to the Freedom of Information Act, making official a policy under Presidents Bush and Obama to reject requests for records to that office.

The White House said the cleanup of FOIA regulations is consistent with court rulings that hold that the office is not subject to the transparency law. The office handles, among other things, White House record-keeping duties like the archiving of e-mails.   Continue reading “White House office to delete its FOIA regulations”

Jack Bernstein

I’m unable to find even a birth date, or date of death for Jack Bernstein other than “some years” after he wrote The Life of an American Jew…. I found one forum comment that he had been shot, but it had no verifying reference.
