Under growing pressure from conservatives and “tea party” activists, Sen. John McCain of Arizona is having to defend his record of supporting the government’s massive bailout of the financial system.
In response to criticism from opponents seeking to defeat him in the Aug. 24 Republican primary, the four-term senator says he was misled by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke [Ed.- Emphasis mine]
Michelle Malkin adds:
McCain’s trying to have it both ways — refusing to admit he was wrong, blaming crapweasel Paulson for duping him, and creating the illusion that he’ll be competent enough to resist the next inevitable bailout temptation when White House, Treasury, and Fed officials hit the panic button.
He blew it on TARP.
Blew it on the auto bailout.
Blew it on the mortgage entitlement bailout.
Blew it on the AIG bailout.
Blew it on amnesty.
Blew it on campaign finance.
Blew it on global warming.
In short: McCain blows.

One of the most popular speakers at recent Tea Party functions has been political commentator Angela McGlowan, but a recent radio interview is causing some concern among conservatives that Tea Party organizers may have once again been bamboozled.
In the interview McGlowan, who recently announced plans to run for Congress, passionately defended her belief that gun owners ought to be forced to list all of their guns on their 1040 tax forms each year because she says the government should know how many guns we have. In that same interview, she also seemed to hint that she supports some form of Obamacare and even went as far as to pull out the race card in suggesting that conservatives are looking to create a race war or something.
Making matters worse, McGlowan's past campaign donations are also causing concern.
In 2005, so-called conservative Angela McGlowan gave a $500 campaign contribution to California Democratic Congressman Xavier Beccera.
Becerra has an F rating from the NRA; 100% ratings from Planned Parenthood and NARAL; 0% ratings from National Right to Life; 0% ratings from Americans for Tax Reform; an F rating from National Taxpayers Union; 100% ratings from the ACLU; 0% ratings from the American Family Association and 5% ratings from the Family Research Council; and 100% ratings from the AFL-CIO and the SEIU.
Examples such as this are yet another sign that Tea Party organizers really need to do a better job of vetting their speakers. The Debra Medina embarrassment last week gives progressives an easy target to exploit. As we move closer to the 2010 mid-terms, Tea Party leaders should be using this time to aggressively vet all potential speakers, organizers, candidates, and organizational leaders.

Tracy residents will now have to pay every time they call 9-1-1 for a medical emergency.
But there are a couple of options. Residents can pay a $48 voluntary fee for the year which allows them to call 9-1-1 as many times as necessary.
Or, there's the option of not signing up for the annual fee. Instead, they will be charged $300 if they make a call for help.
"A $300 fee and you don't even want to be thinking about that when somebody is in need of assistance," said Tracy resident Greg Bidlack.

A law-enforcement official with knowledge of the case says the FBI has opened a criminal investigation into a Pennsylvania school district accused of activating webcams inside students' homes without their knowledge.
The official, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, says the FBI will explore whether Lower Merion School District officials broke any federal wiretap or computer-intrusion laws.
Lower Merion officials say they remotely activated webcams 42 times to find missing student laptops in the past 14 months, but never did so to spy on students, as a recent lawsuit claims.

It discusses the need to counter terrorism. The threat to Western cyber systems is noted. The proliferation of Russian high-tech anti-aircraft missiles around the world is noted as a problem.
However, it's not what is in the document that surprises the reader - it's what was left out. There presence of two elephants in their living room apparently escaped the notice of American's top civilian and military leaders. Islamic radicalism does not receive any mention whatsoever in the American Defence Review and the threat posed by a nuclear Iran is mentioned in only one general sentence at the end of a document (page 101). To put this lack of discussion in proportion, contrast this non-discussion with other security issues mentioned in the document.

Kevin Smith, the creator of movies like Clerks, Dogma, and the upcoming Cop Out, posted a series of angry, sarcastic messages on his Twitter feed (@ThatKevinSmith) blasting Southwest Airlines for allegedly throwing him off a flight at Oakland International Airport after he had already been seated and buckled in.
According to Smith, a flight attendant told him the flight captain had deemed him a safety risk and requested that he leave the flight.
My personal opinion is, that as long as Kevin Smith and others like him are willing to pay for the part of my seat that they steal from me when I'm seated next to them, I have no problem sitting next to them. I'm just tired of being limited to only half of my $250 seat.

Democrats approved the purchase, even though the National Park Service has yet to complete a study on the purchase.
“We don’t have the money to do this,” said Rep Jason Chaffetz, (R – Utah). “Currently the National Park Service has an estimated $9 billion in backlog maintenance on existing parks.

Last year's crisis, he said, demonstrated the need for a worldwide regulatory regime after decades of increasingly hands-off policies let banks and other big companies take risks that endangered the financial system as whole. (emphasis mine)
Ah, the classic Progressive philosophy. Those dumb citizens aren't smart enough to handle their own lives or make decisions of their own, so we need a worldwide government body full of really really smart people, like him of course, to tell the not so smart bankers which risks are too risky, for their own good, of course. He's only looking out for them.
Never mind that much of the current banking mess was caused by government agencies (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) forcing banks to provide high risk loans that they would not have ordinarily approved. Why let facts get in the way of a good opportunity to take over the entire world financial system?
Obviously, what we really need to solve the problem is to do the exact same thing again, but this time we'll make sure we do it worldwide! It'll be much more fun that way.
"Globalization was based on a false premise that markets don't really need to be regulated, financial institutions can look after their own risk and therefore there really is no need for regulation," Soros said at a forum in Hong Kong. "That was a false idea."
What is needed are uniform standards, he argued.
"It's not just a question of restarting the system," he said. "We actually have to create a system that currently doesn't exist, namely a global regulation of financial markets."
Soros is probably the most dangerous man in the world. He thinks like an evil dictator, and he's got enough money to get pretty much anything he wants, including the Chinese, who happen to be the current leaseholders for the United States.

A Christian teacher told today how he lost his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as 'heroes'.
Nicholas Kafouris said he was forced from his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the 'racist' and 'anti-Semitic' behaviour of children.
He said the predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class, and hailed the terrorists of the 2001 atrocities as 'martyrs'.
Some samples of student comments:
'Don't touch me, you're a Christian'
'We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up', and 'the Christians and Jews are our enemies, you too because you're a Christian"
'We hate the Christians' and, 'We hate the Jews'
"I'm glad that man died", 'Why?' I asked. "Because he's a Christian and English and we're Muslim"
'I hate the Jews, they're our enemies.'

Coming soon to a U.S. city near you:
The man is from Lebanon, where polygamy is permitted. He is married to two women and has been granted Irish citizenship.
Seven years ago the Department of Justice refused to grant the man’s first wife a visa. The Lebanese entered Ireland with his second wife and claimed asylum. His first wife did not arrive until much later. The man has children with both women.
After its decision was challenged, the justice department agreed to quash its refusal to issue a visa to the first wife. But as part of this settlement the man is required to ask the High Court to rule on the validity of his marriage under section 29 of the 1995 Family Law Act.
The state and the wives are all represented in the case. The residency rights of both spouses will depend on the decision. A number of similar cases are awaiting the outcome.
Legal experts say section 29 applications are usually brought to determine if foreign divorces are valid in Ireland. Britain has agreed to recognise marriages in countries which allow polygamy, as long as a man has married just once.
Because, the poor immigrants should not be forced to follow the rules of the country they move to. We should obviously change our entire culture to satisfy them.
What's truly scary, is how many government officials (and citizens) actually agree with that.
OH WAIT! Did I say "coming soon to a U.S. city near you?" I must have forgotten about Yusuf Bey and his 100 wives ... in California!
As the late Yusuf Bey built Your Black Muslim Bakery into an empire of wealth and influence, he also orchestrated a systematic welfare fraud scheme at his Oakland compound, three of his former wives have testified.By the wives’ sworn account, Bey directed many of the 100 women whom he considered his wives to make fraudulent applications for government aid programs intended to assist poor families, then diverted the benefits to himself.
Bey’s alleged fraud scheme began in the 1970s and continued in some form until his death in 2003, according to the women, who gave depositions in a negligence lawsuit against Alameda County that was settled out of court earlier this year.
The allegations prompted an extensive investigation by county officials, but incomplete county records and the complicated nature of the alleged scheme were key reasons the investigation stalled, and no civil suit to recover money was filed, said Alameda County Counsel Richard E. Winnie.
The revenue – thousands of dollars per month, perhaps more than $1 million over the course of the scheme, testimony in the case suggests – helped inflate the clout of Your Black Muslim Bakery, a business Bey proselytized as an icon of economic self-sufficiency.
Yeah, THAT "Your Black Muslim Bakery."

Oren took a 20 minute break after the fourth protest, asked for hospitality and resumed his speech, only to be interrupted again by young men yelling at him every few minutes. Many members of the audience also applauded Oren.
After the 10th interruption, several dozens students who opposed Oren’s talk got up and walked out and staged a protest outside. It is not clear whether they were members of the UCI Muslim Student Union, which issued an email earlier in the day condemning Oren’s appearance on campus.

Over a hundred House Democrats are urging the Senate to use reconciliation to pass heatlhcare reform that includes a public option.
Progressives launched a campaign to revive the public option after Democrats lost their supermajority last month. Now that Democrats lack 60 votes to break a filibuster, it's likely they will have to use reconciliation anyway in order to change parts of their bill that House Democrats object to.
In a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) today, 120 House Democrats say the Senate should seize that opportunity and include a public option.
Wait. Did that say ... "seize that opportunity?" As if, losing their supermajority was somehow a good thing?" It's not hard to understand the mind of a commie.
"We'll use the power of pursuasion, and if that doesn't work, we'll use the pursuasion of power." - SEIU President Andrew Stern
Don't let reality get in the way of a good government takeover. They've got their own version of reality:
"This letter states loud and clear that the public option is gaining momentum and is alive and well in the eyes of the American public,” said Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.)
I guess the fact that they LOST that supermajority last month by losing in traditionally liberal controlled Massachusetts, specifically because the American public does not want Obamacare, somehow means that the public option is "gaining momentum" and is "alive and well in the eyes of the American public?"
Really? How many people really support Obama's version of the public option?
Good luck with that battle plan. Let's hope they keep the blindfolds on. They might begin to get the picture sometime around December of 2012.

On Monday, February 1st, Reuters published an article entitled "Backdoor taxes to hit middle class." The article was extremely harsh on the Obama administration's habit of promising tax deductions while actually jacking them up and raising fees under cover of darkness. It was harsh, and it was accurate.
Here's a taste of the article:
NEW YORK (Reuters.com) --The Obama administration's plan to cut more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a bigger tax bill for middle-class families.
In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year -- effectively a tax hike by stealth.
If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated.
Investors will pay more on their earnings next year as well, with the tax on dividends jumping to 39.6 percent from 15 percent and the capital-gains tax increasing to 20 percent from 15 percent. The estate tax is eliminated this year, but it will return in 2011 -- though there has been talk about reinstating the death tax sooner.
Now, like magic, the article has been pulled by Reuters with the following explanation:

SACRAMENTO, CA - Just less than 24 hours since one of the inmates released early by Sacramento County Sheriff's Department to reduce the state's prison population was re-arrested on suspicion of attempted rape.
Kevin Eugene Peterson was released from jail Monday night after serving two-months on a four-month sentence for violating his probation on a previous felony conviction. He was arrested Tuesday day, on suspicion of an attempted rape involving a female counselor. Other charges include sexual battery, false imprisonment and violating the term of his probation.
Sheriff John McGinness said only nonviolent inmates jailed on misdemeanors would be eligible for early release.
