WASHINGTON (JTA) – The final version of the congressional defense budget triples the Obama administration’s request for funding for joint U.S.-Israel defense cooperation.

The $284 million in the budget released jointly on Dec. 10 by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate budget committees – up from the $96 million requested by the Obama administration – includes funding for the Arrow long-range anti-missile system and the David’s Sling and Iron Dome missile defense systems.   Continue reading “Congress triples Obama’s request on defense cooperation with Israel”

Today, Congress tried to show that it is capable of tackling our chronic and dangerous debt problems. Despite the great fanfare I believe they have accomplished almost nothing. Supporters say that the budget truce created by Republican Representative Paul Ryan and Democratic Senator Patty Murray will provide the economy with badly needed certainty. But I think the only surety this feeble and fictitious deal offers is that Washington will never make any real moves to change the trajectory of our finances, and that future solutions will be forced on us by calamity rather than agreement.   Continue reading “The Criminals Called Congress Bravely Chickened Out”

The House and Senate Armed Services Committees havereached an agreement on the fiscal year 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

As approved by the committees, the text of the latest iteration of the bill is derived from H.R. 1960, which passed the House on June 14 by a vote of 315-108 and S. 1197, a version passed by a Senate committee by a vote of 23-3, later that same day.   Continue reading “Congress Rushing to Approve 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)”

ABC News and The New York Times have known since 2007 that Robert Levinson, the ex-FBI agent who was kidnapped in Iran, was not, as the U.S. government and his family claimed, an independent businessman: He was working for the CIA. The Times’ report today discloses this timeline; ABC News’ report does not—but a source at the network confirmed to Gawker that ABC reporters discovered the CIA connection in 2007 as well. At the request of the government and Levinson’s family, however, both outlets repeatedly stated, without any caveats, that Levinson was on a “business trip” when he was captured. A review of their coverage indicates that ABC News did so at least 7 times, and the Times at least 3 times.   Continue reading “ABC, NYT Repeatedly Lied About CIA Operative Robert Levinson”

President Obama’s hands may be clean. However, there are a multitude of people that have been close to this president who have not lived to talk about what they know about this administration. Are these coincidences, or are these deaths the result of Obama’s handlers? Without arrests and prosecutions, we can never be sure. However, the sheer numbers of the trail of bodies is staggering. In the interest of time and space, only a few of these will be represented.   Continue reading “The 93 Skeletons in Obama’s Closet”

The treasonous acts by Obama start with him and his conspirers hijacking the political process by registering as Democrats when, in fact, they make up a combination of socialists, progressives, communists, Marxists, anarchists, and UN-American detractors. A prime example of this is how Obama originally campaigned with the “Democratic Progressive Party” (DPP) scattered all throughout America, although they are not legally recognized as a valid political party in America to enter campaigns which would gain them enough votes to be seated. Therefore, they deliberately schemed to hijack the Democratic Party. This was led previously in part by Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and others who believed the Democrats were too timid to put forth their agenda, in 1991, they formed the progressive caucus within the halls of the United States Congress and used that status as a means to lend false credibility to their cause and illegitimate platform.   Continue reading “Barack Hussein Obama Is A Traitor.”

China has suspended imports of shellfish from the west coast of the United States — an unprecedented move that cuts off a $270 million Northwest industry from its biggest export market.

China said it decided to impose the ban after recent shipments of geoduck clams from Northwest waters were found by its own government inspectors to have high levels of arsenic and a toxin that causes paralytic shellfish poisoning.   Continue reading “China Imposes First-Ever West Coast Shellfish Ban”

A heartless thief posing as a cop has been preying on elderly women for more than two years, stealing their savings after convincing them he is investigating a banking case, police said Thursday.

He has stolen a total of $428,760 from the 18 seniors who fell for his con, including $102,000 from an 84-year-old Brooklyn woman in June.   Continue reading “NYPD bogus: Fake cop scams seniors out of more than $400,000”
