Will SCOTUS take on the court cases with Obama meddling in State law for illegal migration?

If the 4 liberals have anything to say about it, probably not. This is the thing you seldom hear about. The fight over which cases they will take. That fight is just as politically motivated as the actual cases themselves. $ justices must agree to hear a case before it will be taken up.

Flood Insurance buried in this latest Pay Roll Tax Bill?

What else is buried in this POS?  And no, the federal government should not be in the flood insurance business at all and should not be paying off home owners through FEMA when their homes are flooded out. This is a BS subsidy for real estate investors who bought up cheap property in flood zones back in the 60s.

I donÂ’t mind people living in flood zones, but I do mind having to pay for their damn homes through my taxes when they get flooded out.

Well Holder made it past this weekend but he ain't out of the woods yet

Now he is stonewalling on e-mails.  He is like a drunk in a bar at last call that doesnÂ’t want to leave. Desperately grasping at the door jams as bouncers try to drag him out.

A motley crew of communists and other leftists march into NYC to urge the UN to get involved in voting rights in the US

Yesterday a motley coalition of left-wing groups operating under the name Stand For Freedom marched in New York City, ostensibly to support voting rights. A large number of groups were represented, almost more organizations than people: the NAACP, the ACLU, SEIU, CAIR, the Communist Party, the LawyersÂ’ Committee for Civil Rights, the Hispanic Federation, the United Federation of Teachers, the Action Network, NOW, several Democratic politicians, and many more.

So what is their gripe? Are people being turned away from voting because of poll taxes and literacy tests (although that is not a bad idea)? No thatÂ’s not the problem. Are people being turned away because they are black? Some of these groups say they are but they have no evidence at all.

Their gripe is 30 States have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, voter picture ID and other measures to combat increasing voter fraud. Voter fraud that inevitably involves the Democrat Party.

ThatÂ’s it for the news this morning. MondayÂ’s are always a slow day as reporters are off on Sunday. Tuesdays are catch-up days though.

13 Race baiter Al Sharpton going bankrupt

 

Liquidate we much!

14 Regarding the suggestion that ownership in St. Louis didn't appreciate Albert Pujols enough, I have one question: does the Angels' owner speak Spanish?

15 Calling the Lowe's decision "un-American" and "naked religious bigotry," Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, told The Associated Press he would also consider legislative action if Lowe's doesn't apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads. The senator sent a letter outlining his complaints to Lowe's Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Niblock.

I am gobsmacked.  Reading the article to the end makes it someone less offensive in that he is only talking about a resolution of condemnation, but still.

California, thou art boned.

19 My wife and I go to the movies quite a bit.. or, at least used to..

You're right Vic.. all they make is crap these days.  We have a cineplex with 30 theatres in it, and there isn't one movie this past weekend we would want to see!

20 Thanks for the news, Vic!!! Glad to see you. Hope you are (relatively) okay.

21 Al Sharpton is a turd in the punchbowl, and is therefore a perfect 'face' for MSNBC.
 
Gee, a bunch of Dems and Muslim groups want Lowes to 'apologize and reinstate their ads'. Free enterprise? Never heard of it. What exactly do they have to apologize for? NOT advertising on a controversial show, like 1000s of other companies don't, is just good business.
 
I seem to remember organized efforts to stop companies from running ads on Glenn Beck. These efforts are by some of the same groups and Dem mouthpieces. Only approved propaganda, inshallah.

He can threaten all he wants on that legislative action. I haven't see anything yet that forces people to buy advertising at any location.

23 I haven't been to an actual movie theater in probably 30 years.

Tebow and the kicker didn't win it as much as that dumbass dreadlocked doofus Marion Barber lost it for the Bears..  All he had to do was stay in bounds, since he and Hanie were unable to make a first down.. and the clock would have run out.. but, noooooooooooo.. they couldn't even manage that!!

I couldn't see the Denver game, got stuck with the Packers/Raiders game instead.

30 He can threaten all he wants on that legislative action. I haven't see anything yet that forces people to buy advertising at any location.

For now. Given his way, Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance would change that, no doubt.

"The senator vowed to look into whether Lowe's violated any California laws..."

And if Lieu doesn't find a law that Lowes violated he'll probably want to write a new one to catch them on next time.

Oh, and ,morning, everybody.

31 Good to hear about the good news. Don't want to cry in your beer, I have walked that road with one of my sisters, so I always get a little too worried.

32 So can Lowe's just not do business in CA? Why would any company want to operate in CA anymore?? It just doesn't seem worth the operating expense. I know, lots of people still live there, but honestly....

33 6

Isn't Sharpton one of those people, who feel the need to lecture Republicans on economic issues?

34

Keith Ellison can go pound sand, along with that other idiot from Clownifornia on the Lowe's thingy.

OK, 'rons 'n 'ettes, I'm outta here, work and all that. Vic and moki, best wishes to you guys. I'm thinking about you.

Y'all have fun and try not to trash the place.

35 Bet a beer that Holder stays till the bitter end of this administration. I don't think Issa and company have the balls to impeach him, and the MFM won't give F&F the attention it deserves. Such a disgrace. Also bet that the next administration, whoever it is will do nothing to correct this travesty of justice.

36

"Muslim reality show"    You have got to be kidding.  How much stoning and body parts are cut off?  How often does Muslim Dad have to beat the women folk? 

I remember when some parents wanted Bugs Bunny and The Roadrunner taken off tv because they showed too much violence.

37 Case, substitute Christian or Jewish for Muslim and imagine the reaction.

Fortunately kids are smarter than many parents and realize that Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner are make believe.

38 Yeah, if it wasn't for illegals pouring across the border CA would have dropped at least two House seats by now. Businesses are bailing like crazy, and non-government working people are also bailing like crazy.

The only people staying in CA are the welfare drones, the illegals, and people who work for the government.

That is why they are going bankrupt. If it wasn't for the U.S. government buying State bonds they probably would have already gone under.

39 From the Lowe's article: Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) also said Lowe's is choosing to disregard the First Amendment. So first amendment rights now apply to a company deciding what time slot they wish to advertise in? These Congressmen make me sick.

40 This is the caliber of people Clownifornians elect, and that is why they're boned.

41 And speaking of movies, has anyone else noticed that Amazon has raised the hell out of the prices of their movies during the Christmas season?

42

Good to see you back, Vic.  I missed your news links last Friday.

 

On a completely unrelated note, is anybody else getting that ad for 9 West boots with the ginger posing in very short shorts?

Hubba hubba.

43 I don't know if this has been mentioned ....

On Tuesday, Americans will have a rare chance to voice their disdain of the corruption and lies flowing from this Justice Department.  They will have a chance to speak out against the radical and racialist law enforcement priorities of this Justice Department.  Eric Holder comes to Austin, Texas to make a major announcement about voting laws....( Breitbart)

44 On a completely unrelated note, is anybody else getting that ad for 9 West boots with the ginger posing in very short shorts?

I haven't seen it, but I don't watch much TV.

45 That Hill article on flood insurance was none too clear. It does sound like State Farm is trying to protect a monopoly on policies they issue through NFIP though; that can't be good from a competitive stance.
 
In general I agree with Vic; the feds shouldn't be involved with issuing flood insurance. There is definitely politicking going on when the flood maps are drawn, as I saw first hand after Katrina. I think the gubmint should get out of the crop insurance business too.
 
I once bought a home in a flood zone. Since I paid cash, I didn't have to have a flood policy but I carried enough coverage to pay for replacing all the carpet and drywall. Two years in a row water backed up into my yard almost up to the front door. I sold the place shortly after the second time.

I think companies will put up with a lot to participate in a market that size. 

Strictly from an employee standpoint, I used to work for a company with its corporate and U.S. headquarters in San Francisco.  I questioned why, for the love of God, did they have one more employee than necessary there.  Years later, their corporate headquarters are in the suburbs and their U.S. headquarters are in Texas.

47

Vic,

It's an ad on the main page.  I get it every few times I refresh.

48 I went wandering around the intertubes and found a couple of posts on Tebow's performance last night. Made me wonder what the honorable senator from California is going to have to say about Tebow possibly getting unfair help from above and if he'll try to pass a law against it.

I'm beginning to suspect that politicians have too much time on their hands.

I read that article on Lowes.

What struck me was Ellison contending that Lowes' action was somehow anti-1st Amendment.

I mean, isn't chosing what and what not to sponsor free speech?  The whole thing reeks of social control.  What really puffs my cheese is the suspicion that Lowes will capitulate to this blackmail.

Look what I found over at Don Surber's place. That debate was the top draw on Saturday night!

Interest in the most-watched Republican presidential race in decades continues to grow. The Republican presidential debate on ABC on Saturday was the No. 1 TV show in America as Newt Gingrich and friends drew 7.6 million sets of eyeballs, easily toppling Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Cops and whatever was on NBC. The interest among people 25-54 was high as the debate drew 2.1 million people in that highly prized age bracket, which Barack Obama won on his way to victory in 2008.

Democrats might want to start worrying about now.

54 Well gotta go for a short while. I am making a slow cooker pot roast today and need to go load it up. bbl

55 The muslim reality show has no viewers. Of course, retailers are going to pull their ads. They want the most number of people to see their ad for their bucks. And no one wants to see a show with women who cover their heads. Hwd is whining about poor box office showings but again, who wants to see a movie with an ensemble cast of has beens and/or the untalented?

56 re F&F, I wonder if Issa and Co. have a copy of at least one email from Holder sent from his private account? That would explain their line of questioning, and Holder's weasel words 'answers'. He's not sure of just exactly what they've got.
 
I do think the SCoaMF will jettison Holder before Nov. 2012.

57 I do think the SCoaMF will jettison Holder before Nov. 2012.

I would agree except that Holder probably knows how many bodies there are and where they are buried, making it a bi harder for SCOAMF to toss him under the bus as easily as he has so many others.

58 That stupid muslim show lost almost half it's viewers in 3 weeks. Is Ted Lieu going to legislate against those refusing to watch it? What an idiot!

59 Appointment Head Explosions aka Broncos victories might be the freshest version of schadenfreude to come along in years.

64 Well I'm back. Great thing about a crock pot. Doesn't take long to load it and requires very little "watching" during the day.

The Exploding Head Trick has been fun to watch. I tuned in to the jackasses on ESPN's highlight show yesterday just to watch the blood and brain matter splatter after hearing that Tebow and the Broncos had done it again. I'm not religious and not a Broncos fan either (not a fan of the NFL at all), but this phenomenon and the reaction to it has been been fun to watch. It's the only news from the National Felons League that I bother to look for.

69 There's only 2 million muslims in the US. Let them boycott.

That's 2 million too many and they just started coming in recently when the idiots in congress revised the laws to allow people from terrorist countries to wallow in at will.

70 I was thinking back to that video games = war crimes news item, and it reminded me of a politically incorrect add on to Call of Duty I wish someone would make.

Your team is fighting through a city full of guerilla fighters, and you find your goal is to reach the Kabaa in the Heart of Mecca!   So you finally reach it, and in the back is secret door which reveals the opening to a Time Tunnel.   You walk through and are sent back to the 7th century, where you track down and kill a young Mohammed.  (who looks like Bin Laden and is in bed with a young girl. And a pig.)

Then you come back and the world is a beautiful place, and the middle east has been peaceful for centuries. 

Oh, and you're wearing an IDF uniform.

I wonder what the Int'l Red Cross would think of my game.

ESPN has been both the source and symptom of many of organized sports' problems on all levels since its inception 30 years ago.
Its top 10 highlight feature in particular has inspired the worst kind of the individual trashing of whatever there was of sports culture to begin with.

There are now a couple of generations that equate achievement with mugging for the camera, an obscene demonstration of vanity in the extreme, to the point where it is so common place it now goes almost unnoticed.

Except when you behave like a Tebow.

72 Speaking of Hwd being bankrupt, they are continuing to push one of the last taboos: Incest. Now it's on Dexter. Blech.

73 40 This is the caliber of people Clownifornians elect, and that is why they're boned.

I believe we're pretty much all boned at this point.

74 Lots of comments on Sharpton and the Muslim idiot but nothing on the commies marching for voter fraud?

75 Hwd is indeed disgusting, but I barely noticed the pseudo-incest (Dexter is adopted and not related by blood to Deb), given that I am watching the mocking and perversion of the Christian religion (wonder why the islamist religion wasn't used-there are some juicy koran bits that would work) and rooting for a serial killer when I watch Dexter.

76 And then, after the Washington Post folds, I can relish the day I can see a destitute Micheal Wilbon standing on the side of the road with a sign "Will Suck Tiger Wood's Cock for Food".

Posted by: Mallamutt, RINO President for Life at December 12, 2011 09:22 AM (OWjjx)

Now THAT would be a lovely sight to behold.

77 Deb and Dexter are legally brother and sister and were raised as brother and sister. Yech! Plus, Dexter is just one of a number of shows with an incest plot this year. There was also Boardwalk Empires and Game of Thrones. They'll be more...

78 Yep, Dexter's pretty much jumping the shark this year. They've clearly run out of plot ideas between the incest nonsense and the cramming/confusion of islamic voilence grafted onto Christian characters. Once a series reaches it's senility, Hollywood always goes for leftist political propaganda instead of organic plots. And Dexter has signed on for 2 more seasons. I expect we'll see him killing AGW "deniers" next year.

Requiring Voter-ID is one of the few simple ways that we can clean up our system of voting. It doesn't discriminate. Anyone can get an ID. It's so easy, there is fraud and abuse in that as well.
