WASHINGTON (AP) — Reeling from allegations by federal prosecutors that he knew about the dirty tricks that helped him get elected four years ago, District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray tried to rally his base. But his core supporters weren’t nearly enough, as a scandal-weary electorate rallied behind a much-younger challenger who promised honest and ethical leadership.

D.C. Councilmember Muriel Bowser defeated Gray in Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary, leaving Gray to serve nine months as a lame duck with potential criminal charges hanging over his head. The defining moment of the election occurred three weeks earlier in a courtroom. Federal prosecutors say Gray knew about an illegal $668,000 slush fund that helped him defeat incumbent Adrian Fenty in 2010. Five people involved with his previous campaign have pleaded guilty to felonies and the new allegations surfaced as part of a plea deal for the businessman who provided the illegal funds.   Continue reading “Scandal-weary voters boot DC mayor from office”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court struck down limits Wednesday in federal law on the overall campaign contributions the biggest individual donors may make to candidates, political parties and political action committees.

The justices said in a 5-4 vote that Americans have a right to give the legal maximum to candidates for Congress and president, as well as to parties and PACs, without worrying that they will violate the law when they bump up against a limit on all contributions, set at $123,200 for 2013 and 2014. That includes a separate $48,600 cap on contributions to candidates.   Continue reading “High court voids overall contribution limits”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says Democrats passed their health insurance law, not to insure the uninsured, but to give people “quality” health care and “affordable” health care.

“Madam Leader, isn’t the real measure of success, not the raw number who signed up, but how many of those who signed up were not insured before?” a reporter asked Pelosi at a news conference on Tuesday.   Continue reading “Pelosi: Don’t Measure ACA by How Many Uninsured Get Insurance”

OK, this is pretty creepy. Normally, Diego Garcia calling for an empty container ship to move ammo, or whatever, wouldn’t be too alarming.

I have always said that the control systems that the Antichrist will use to enslave humanity will be tested, perfected and prototyped in the third world. Developing countries are easier to manipulate. They are easier to bribe. They are easier to damage and destroy. And, it’s no big loss to the Illuminati/global elites when millions of peasants suffer starvation, war and massive death.

And, the global elites know that they have to perfect their strategies before rolling them out to the rest of the world. And, it looks like Venezuela has been given the high honor of being chosen to show the rest of the world how it’s done.   Continue reading “They Will Control Us – Venezuela Shows Us How”

Michael Moore doesn’t believe in the death penalty, even in horrific murder cases or other stomach-churning acts.

The far-left filmmaker will make an exception to his anti-death penalty stance, though. He wants the GM executives responsible for preventing a recall of faulty ignitions put to death by the state.

GM is holding hearings this week on the subject, which convinced Moore to take to his Facebook page for his latest proclamation.   Continue reading “Michael Moore: Hunt Down and Execute GM Officials Behind Ignition-Related Deaths”

Last Thursday, the Obama Administration announced details of its plan to overhaul the government’s bulk phone-records collection program, previously authorized under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act.

Under the proposed changes, the National Security Agency would no longer be in the business of collecting call records in bulk. Rather, the agency will be required to go directly to phone companies to obtain records, and it will need prior permission from a judge to access such information.   Continue reading “What, besides phone records, does the NSA collect in bulk?”
