Rep. Weiner Has Angry Exchange With Capitol Hill Reporters Over Twitter Scandal

Looks like Weiner is getting hot under the collar with questions concerning Weinergate. To date, he hasn’t filed of police report of the alleged hack of his Twitter account.

That seems very strange to me.

Mediaite

One of Capitol Hill’s most media-friendly people, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, seems to be souring on the subject of his Twitter account, brushing off questions about his Twitter feed and the photo of a man in his underwear that was sent from that account. “I’m not going to talk about this anymore,” Weiner said Tuesday afternoon, in an exchange with journalists CNN described as “angry.”

This is the mentality idiots at the UN and on The Left fail to acknowledge as they bash Israel whenever they do anything to defend themselves.

As we speak Iran is actively trying to develop a nuclear weapon. What is President Obama doing to stop it? During the presidential campaign he frequently said Iran getting a nuclear weapon would be a "game changer".

Witnessing the animosity Obama seems to have with Israel, I guess the game is gonna change with U.S. approval.

Self-defence or murder? Outrage as pharmacist Jerome Ersland who shot 16-year-old trying to rob his shop gets life sentence


If you enter a store with a gun to commit a crime of armed robbery,whatever happens to you after you cross that line is well deserved.

That pharmacist is a hero and that 16 year old deserved to doe!

Daily Mail

A controversial decision to send a pharmacist to jail for life for shooting dead a young man who tried to rob his store has caused a storm of protest.
Jerome Ersland was given a life sentence for the first-degree murder of 16-year-old Antwun Parker at an Oklahoma court last week.

The 59-year-old pharmacist shot the youngster six times during an attempted armed robbery in 2009, leading jurors to decide he had acted beyond the limits of self defence.

Dramatic CCTV footage from May 19 2009 shows Antwun Parker and an accomplice running into the Reliable Discount Pharmacy in south Oklahoma City and pointing a gun directly at Mr Ersland.


The pharmacist, who was once an Air Force lieutenant colonel, can then be seen reaching for a pistol of his own before firing at the two young men, with one of the shots hitting Parker to the ground.



After chasing the accomplice from the store, Ersland then gets a second gun before shooting Parker another five times, almost a minute after he fired the first gunshot.

In court, Mr Ersland's attorneys insisted their client had acted in self-defence.

Weimer does the lawyer thing and releases statement


Oh yes, Weiner is following the salacious sex scandal script to the letter. Deny, divert and hire a lawyer.

“At a time when the GOP is playing games with the debt limit, a member of the Supreme Court is refusing to recuse himself from matters he has a financial interest in, and middle class incomes are stagnant, many want to change the subject,” Weiner said in a statement emailed to POLITICO by his office. “I don’t. This was a prank, and a silly one. I’m focused on my work.”

Weiner has many hot women on his Twitter list. Were all tweets political?

The sage of Anthony “I didn’t send lewd pic of my weenie because I got hacked and didn’t call the police” Weiner continues. There are still many unanswered questions the MSM still can’t seem to ask. Having a “D” behind his name really helps.

Jim Hoft of Gateway Pendit did some extra digging the MSM didn’t wanna do.

On Friday far left Rep. Anthony Weiner said his twitter and Facebook accounts were hacked. He said this after a picture of his penis was reportedly sent out to a young woman in Seattle.

Gennette was not the only young attractive woman who made it on Rep. Weiner’s select list.

More than 45,000 people followed Rep. Anthony Weiner on twitter. He followed only 198.

Here are a few of the people Rep. Weiner looked to for his news and entertainment… But mostly entertainment.









Gateway says this was just the first few pages. I’m not a Twitterhead, but isn’t it proper Twitter etiquette that if somebody follows you, that you also follow them?

So why is Weiner following only 198?

Why are they all women?

Does he have any time to do work like trying to fix Medicare?

Dems control 2 houses but prefer Mediscare to fixing Medicare

Definition of lazy and irresponsible

Lazy- Unwilling to work or use energy, lack of effort or activity.

Irresposible- Lacking a sense of responsibility; unreliable or untrustworthy

I lead with these two definitions because both words fit the Democrat Party like a glove when considering their failure to address Medicare’s upcoming bankruptcy.

Democrats like President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid are lazy because don’t wanna roll up their sleeves and fix the Medicare problem. The responsibility to fix it falls on them because they’re the elected leaders that administer Medicare.

They’d rather run their mouths and make videos of grandma being thrown over a cliff than to offer an alternative plan to fix Medicare. That makes them irresponsible

So when Lefty blogger and Amen corner thumper Steve Benen writes the following, is it really a surprise?:

“It’s exasperating, but it’s worth reemphasizing what too many establishment types simply refuse to understand: Democrats are telling the truth. Indeed, Dems are doing what the media is reluctant to do: offering an accurate assessment of the Republican plan for Medicare. If voters find the GOP proposal frightening, the problem is with the plan, not with Democrats’ rhetoric.

What Dems are doing is ringing an alarm — Republicans are up to something dangerous, and Democrats want people to know about it.

Benen has the nerve to say that what the Democrats are doing isn’t demagoguery because they’re telling the truth. I’m sorry, but if the only thing the Democrats are offering is a bunch of…”those guys wanna take away your Medicare”…scare talk, its demagoguery 101.

And as NY 26.

The media is running with a false template, as usual, because the Democrats ran a fake Tea Party candidate to siphon votes away from the GOP candidate. Truth in reporting, anybody?

Haunting final picture of young mother Crystal Sweet taken just hours before she and boyfriend were shot dead


This is the unfortunate side of living in the projects in NYC where life can be snatched away for no good reason by a mysterious gunman. In the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn a 5 year old little girl has to face life with a mom.

Why?

That’s for the NYPD to find out if people are willing to come forward.

Daily Mail

This is the haunting final photograph of a young mother who was gunned down in a triple shooting that left her boyfriend dead and his brother fighting for his life in hospital.

Crystal Sweet, 22, was believed to be pregnant with her second child when she was shot in the courtyard of a building in Brooklyn, New York, as she made her way home from an all-night party.

She had been photographed just hours before as she left for her night out on Saturday, looking happy and relaxed in an orange dress with a matching handbag.
Her boyfriend, 29-year-old Timothy Walter, who had spent time in prison and was in parole, was shot dead at point blank range during the attack, at about 5am on Sunday.

Miss Sweet, still wearing her beautiful dress, was shot three times in the head and neck. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Walter's elder brother, Cornelius, was also shot several times, and is in a critical condition in Kings County Hospital.

Miss Sweet had got all dressed up to go to a barbecue in Bedford-Stuyvesant with Cornelius earlier that evening, leaving her five-year-old daughter, Lydia, at home with her mother.

According to the Post the pair were met by Miss Sweet's boyfriend when they got off the bus at Sheepshead Bay, where she lived with her family.
Her mother, Josephine Rodriguez, 44, said she was sleeping inside the apartment when the gunshots woke

“Cordova began following Weiner on Twitter during the time his own tweets previously placed him in Seattle, and according to her statement, he began "following" her on the site, too”

“Cordova did admit she once sent a tweet referring to "my boyfriend @Rep-Weiner," but insisted she never was his "wife, girlfriend or mistress,"

“Some DC wonks were skeptical of Weiner's hacking story and questioned the lack of a police report about a crime as serious as Internet identity theft, a Washington insider said.”


I got some questions for Weiner.

Why didn’t Weiner report the hack to the police?

Student who got lewd pic from Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter account denies she's his mistress


Hacked my left foot!

Sorry Weiner, I’m not believing the story the more I think about it. It just doesn’t hang right. I think Mr. Weiner got caught with his Winnie down playing Tweet sex with sexy coed.

Let’s be real here. He’s living up to his name, ain’t he?

New York Daily News

A college student who received an obscene photo from Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter account says she's never met the married Queens politico - and backed his contention they're both victims of online pranksters.

"I have never met Congressman Weiner, though I am a fan," Gennette Cordova, 21, of Seattle, Wash., told The Daily News Sunday in an interview. "I've never been to New York or to DC."

She also issued a lengthy statement, complaining about how she's been characterized on blogs and other web sites.

"I have seen myself labeled as the 'Femme Fatale of Weinergate,' 'Anthony Weiner's 21-year-old coed mistress' and 'the self-proclaimed girlfriend of Anthony Weiner.' ... All of this is so outlandish that I don't know whether to be pissed off or amused, quite frankly," she wrote.

The online drama began Friday when a lewd photo appeared in Weiner's Twitter stream addressed to Cordova but visible to all 40,000 of his Twitter followers.

The photo was a crotch shot of a man in form-fitting briefs that left little to the imagination.

It was quickly deleted and Weiner, who was in the middle of Twittering about hockey, said he'd been hacked.

"More Weiner Jokes for all my guests," he Tweeted.

Mediaite plays false-George Will: Everyone Knows Sarah Palin Should Not Be Trusted With Nuclear Weapons


George Will is keeping his intelligentsia card.

This screaming by Midiaite is very misleading as you’ll see in the below video. George Will doesn’t come close to saying what the headlines says, but does give an inference to it.

However, how Will feels about Palin has more to do with the so-called conservative intelligentsia like Will, David Brooks and others wanting to keep their “intelligentsia card” by trashing Palin.

The media has set the template that one cannot be a member of the intelligentsia and like Sarah Palin at the same time.

Thus anything these guys have to say about Palin has no value to the general public. They’ve become a bunch of “me too” sounding boards for the media and The Left.

I’ve seen this kind of thing before because the conservative intelligentsia also hated Ronald Reagan. That puts Sarah Palin in very good standing indeed!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley opens up bullies while posing topless in GQ magazine

The model-turned actress has opened up about her battle with former school ground bullies, who would call her ‘kipper lips’ and ‘t**t lips’. The 24-year-old revealed the taunts while stripping down to a sheer deep red gown and bikini bottoms for the July issue of GQ magazine.

It’s not the first time Rosie has posed for the magazine, but this time she admitted: ‘I was teased about the way I looked at school.’ While being photographed topless with her arm covering her modesty, she said: ‘I got teased because of my lips.

‘I used to get called T**t lips – because I had big lips but no breasts. And then I was called Kipper Lips.
‘There was a big group of girls that was Devon’s answer to Mean Girls, and they would storm the bathrooms shouting, ‘I’m going to f****ing deck you, Lips! See you on the school bus’.

Don’t believe the hype. The Left knows Palin could beat the community organizer if she runs


Shakespeare once wrote, “Thou protest too much!”

And so is the case with Liberals who routinely mock Palin as being stupid and not much of a commodity. However, their actions giveaway their true feelings of fear because they know she represents everything they hate-traditional values, common sense, and liberty.

The Left is a collection of misfits and freaks. You name the aberrant behavior and there’s a 100% certainty that they would find a home on the Left. If men or woman wanted to marry goats and have sex with 5 year old children, it would be the Left who’d be Johnny on the spot to defend it and call it xxx-empowerment or a civil right issue.

This is who these people are, and they’ll do or say most anything to corvine the world they’re the mainstream.

Rep. Anthony Weiner Undies in a twist over 'Weiner wiener'


Twitter pic a hack job, he says

Anthony Weiner is basically useless. Given that fact, he may become mayor of New York one day. After all, the genius Democrats in NYS did send Hillary to the senate.

Do you really believe Weiner was hacked?

New York Post

Call it Weiner-gate.

Twitter followers of Rep. Anthony Weiner were shocked when a lewd photo popped up on his official account late Friday night. The photo of a bulging male member cloaked in gray briefs was directed to a single Twitter user -- but on view to all 45,000 of his followers.

The wiener shot was the work of an unknown wag -- a computer hacker who gained access to the pol's passwords, his spokesman told The Post.

"Anthony's accounts on both Facebook and Twitter were hacked," said spokesman Dave Arnold.

The photo does not belong to the Democrat and wasn't taken by him, Arnold added. The lascivious link was sent to a female follower, a college student in the Pacific Northwest.

The tech-savvy congressman saw the picture almost immediately. He had been tweeting about a hockey game just a few minutes earlier. Weiner pulled the shot himself, but not before it had been retweeted and screen-grabbed by several followers.

Weiner, a voracious user of Twitter, wrote a humorous response about 15 minutes later.
"Tivo shot. FB hacked. Is my blender gonna attack me next?" he joked, ending the tweet with the hashtag "#TheToasterIsVeryLoyal."

Last night, Weiner jokingly tweeted, "Touche Prof Moriarity. More Weiner Jokes for all my guests!"

The woman who got the crotch shot has no ties to Weiner and isn't known to be part of his staff, Arnold said. But she took her Twitter and Facebook pages down a few hours later, after her name and a possible picture began to circulate on blogs.

Weiner, who represents parts of Queens and Brooklyn, got a message about a week ago from Facebook alerting him that his password might have been tampered with, Arnold said. But the warning was ignored, granting the hacker carte blanche to hijack Weiner's online identity.

Al-Qaida declares Yemen's southern city as capital of its "Islamic Emirate": residents

With the killing of Osamabin Laden, Al-Qaida is going to step up their game. So for you Liberals out there that was touting bin Laden’s death as the end of the War on Terror, think again.

Xinhua News Agency

The Yemen-based al-Qaida wing on Saturday declared the provincial capital city of southern Abyan province as the capital city of its "Islamic Emirate" in a statement the group read in front of local residents.

The al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has almost taken over all parts of Abyan province after it seized the province capital city of Zinjibar on Friday, according to the residents.

A local government official told Xinhua that the "fighters of AQAP took over the whole city of Zinjibar on Friday and on Saturday the group seized 30 police cars after two police camps surrendered to AQAP."

"They (AQAP) transported the 30 police cars to the neighbor city of Jaar, which is believed to be the stronghold of the group, " he added, requesting anonymity.

Meanwhile, a doctor of al-Razi Hospital in Jaar told Xinhua that the death toll among al-Qaida militants from the Friday's clashes with government forces rose to four as dozens of the militants were still suffering serious injuries.

Residents from several cities of Abyan said blackouts have hit the majority part of the province since earlier Friday.

Unimpressed By Palin’s Bus Tour, Pawlenty Goes After Obama: ‘Any Doofus Can Go To Washington’


Yesterday, I spanked Pawlenty pretty good and referred to him as “yawn material”. But, today he’s showing a little plain speaking spunk. I don’t know how far this is going to carry him. But, it’s a good thing to see.

Mdeiaite

After rolling out his campaign infrastructure with an elaborate video and a gaffe or two, Tim Pawlenty is going negative, mildly, and with polls showing almost anyone but Pawlenty is a viable Republican candidate, it may not be a terrible idea. Pawlenty ended the week attacking President Obama for his European trip on Twitter and even turning on potential candidate Sarah Palin.

Following up on the cattiest tweet in the Presidential campaign so far (“sorry to interrupt the European pub crawl, but what was your Medicare plan?”), Pawlenty visited CNN’s American Morning to elaborate on his campaign issues and react to his current poll numbers. He appeared happy that, despite the fact that “half the nation’s Republicans don’t know who I am,” he was still a viable candidate in the running, as early polls are “name ID more than anything.” If the polls were reliable, he joked, “Rudy Giuliani and Howard Dean would be presidents.”

With that in mind, asked if Palin’s weekend bus tour was worrisome to him, he seemed militantly unfazed: “This country isn’t going to be about rallies or you know bus tours or anything else,” Pawlenty said. “This is going to be about a country that is sinking in debt and deficit. We want to have a leader who has actually tackled those issues and doesn’t just talk about it.” He also noted that, while the current “exploratory” phases of other campaigns that may pop up are necessary, “soon we have to have a debate on the issues.”

“Any doofus can go to Washington and maintain the status quo and that’s what we’ve got in the White House and in Congress in terms of their attitude about their willingness to tackle these issues,” Pawlenty said. “If we’re not going to have leaders who are going to say that and do it and tell the American people, look them in the eye … then we’re all wasting our time.”

Lech Walesa, Poland's Solidarity-era leader, ex-president and 1983 Nobel Peace Prize winner said Friday he would not accept an invitation to meet fellow Nobel winner US President Barack Obama.

"I expect this meeting would only amount to a photo opportunity," Walesa told AFP.
"I believe one day I will meet with Obama, but not this time," Walesa said, adding he wished the US president "very well, but sometimes things just don't work out."

Truth be told Walesa stared down the Soviet Union when the majority of Eastern Europe didn’t have the guts. The man is a patriot for his country and I’m sure he’s still ticked Obama reneged on that missile defense deal in Poland.

Walesa knows that Obama is a media creation—not too hard to figure out.

Margo Dydek 7 ft fmr WNBA basketball player dies of heart attack at 37


This is very sad.

Daily Mail

A seven-foot-tall former women's basketball star has died of a heart attack at the age of 37.

Margo Dydek, who was pregnant with her third child, collapsed at her home in Brisbane, Australia, last week.

The Poland-born former WNBA star was put in a medically induced coma but died earlier this morning.

Cathy Roberts, the operations manager for the Northside Wizards in the Queensland Basketball League, where Dydek was head coach, said that Dydek was at an early stage in her pregnancy and that her unborn child had also died.

Dydek was the No. 1 pick in the 1998 WNBA draft by the Utah Starzz. She also played for San Antonio, Connecticut and Los Angeles.

The seven-foot-two Dydek, who was affectionately nicknamed 'Large Marge', was once said to be the tallest active professional female basketball player in the world.

She held the record for most blocks in a WNBA career, with 877 in 323 games, and led the league in blocks nine times, from 1998 to 2003 and again from 2005-07.

On August 27, 2008 Dydek signed with the Los Angeles Sparks following time away from basketball due to the birth of her first son in April 2008.

U.S. Adults Estimate That 25% of Americans Are Gay or Lesbian-Media hype blows up perception

...those with lower incomes, the less educated, women, and young people give the highest estimates

There’s a simple explanation as to why people’s
perception of how many Americans are Gay or Lesbian is so far out of whack with reality—Left wing media hype.

The media that perpetuates the myth that Barack Obama is a competent president is the same media that tries very hard to sell Liberalism as mainstream American thought when it’s absolutely far from the truth.

Part of that Liberal indoctrination is promoting the Gay life style as “normal” and The Left spares no opportunity be it in movies, commercials, TV shows, magazine articles, cable channels or anywhere else they can push the message.

But, the reality is that the LGBT community is an extremely small portion of the total population of this country.


Gallup

Demographer Gary Gates last month released a review of population-based surveys on the topic, estimating that 3.5% of adults in the United States identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual, with bisexuals making up a slight majority of that figure. Gates also disputes the well-circulated statistic that "10% of the males are more or less exclusively homosexual."

British girls gone wild: Fury over plans to bring risque U.S. show to UK


With the kind of stuff shown in Europe in general on TV, I’m shocked this is a big deal.

Daily Mail

A notorious television show which encourages drunk women to strip and simulate sex acts should be banned from filming in Britain, MPs said yesterday.
Disgusted politicians described Girls Gone Wild as ‘demeaning, exploitative and casualised prostitution’ and urged the Home Office to stop its makers entering the country.

The show’s creators plan to launch in the UK in the next few weeks after conducting an online poll to find the ‘best venues’ to visit in its infamous tour bus.

The programme, which has been broadcast in the U.S. since 1997, features camera crews approaching intoxicated young women in bars and nightclubs and urging them to expose themselves in return for t–shirts and other merchandise.

Frequently they are also filmed kissing each other and simulating lewd sex acts in front of crowds of young men.

It is expected to be broadcast on a pay–per–view adult channel in the UK that will be available on many digital television packages.

"Mr. President, I write to request your confirmation that S. 990, as passed by Congress, was presented to you prior to the autopen signing, as well as a detailed, written explanation of your Constitutional authority to assign a surrogate the responsibility of signing bills passed into law," Graves wrote

Taxpayer are funding U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria sponsoring gay film festival


How is this constitutional for the federal government to take my money and sponsor a gay film festival?

The Feds are activity promoting a life style billions of people around the world find offensive and immoral based on the teachings of Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

Yet, it’s a big problem to say a little prayer in school to the supreme being of their choice?

But, homosexual sex is all good and needs to be touted worldwide at taxpayers’ expense?


Daily Caller

“Everybody’s perfect!” says the poster for a gay film festival sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria.

The festival, Sofia Pride ‘11, will feature screenings of Milk and other films in Sofia, Bulgaria from June 1 to 29. The American, German, French, Swiss and British embassies are jointly sponsoring the event.

“The series features one movie selected by each of the five sponsoring embassies, and aims to promote acceptance of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) rights in Bulgaria by examining the different issues and challenges which members of the LGBT community face in today’s world. All films will include Bulgarian subtitles,” a press release says.

The U.S. is kicking off the festival by showing Milk, a film about the first openly gay elected official in California. “The screening will be followed by an after-show party at My Mojito Club Sofia,” the press release says.

Liberal walks off Fox set because he was losing Medicare debate vs a conservative

This video is an excellent illustration of what Liberals do when they’re losing a debate. Democrats have no plan to fix Medicare that is rapidly becoming insolvent. They’d rather score cheap political points misrepresenting what GOPers are attempting to do—fix the problem.


Video (h/t) The Blaze

Usually Libs accuse the GOPers of an “ism” , racism, sexism, or homophobia. But, in the Medicare debate they need to adjust the template and say Republicans want seniors to die.



It’s an effective lie because the Dem base are the products of an inferior public schools system, just the way the Dems like it, so they can get away with their manipulations and deceit.

Perry says he will consider White House run

Good!

Rick Perry would be a heavy hitter in the race like Sarah Palin.

Bachmann Reveals Plans for Presidential Announcement in Iowa Next Month


Michele Bachmann along with Herman Cain are my favorite potential GOP nominees. This isn’t to say that I wouldn’t be supportive of the eventual choice. But, Cain and Bachman excite me the most.

The Blaze

Republican Michele Bachmann is making plans for a presidential campaign announcement next month in Waterloo, Iowa, the city where the Minnesota congresswoman was born.

Bachmann trickled out the details in a conference call with reporters Thursday night but said she could still reverse course and sit out the 2012 White House campaign.

Bachmann was supposed to speak in person at a GOP dinner in downtown Des Moines, but a vote in Washington turned the appearance into a video message. Hundreds of Republicans watched her via a blurry, choppy Internet feed, where she profusely apologized for her absence and offered a rain check. The feed briefly cut out but aides quickly dialed back in.

Pawlenty spins low poll numbers. Can I stop yawning now?


I’m sure Tim Pawlenty is a nice guy. It’s hard being a GOP gov in a blue state like Minnesota. I get ti. But, I think he has a significant yawn factor to get over the hump. I'm not saying he can’t do it. But, he has his work cut of for him.

However, knowing the GOP establishment types as I do, Pawlenty may be made to order. You know what that menas>?

4 more years of Barack Obama!

CNN

Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty said he sees his low national poll numbers as an opportunity for his candidacy.
"I like the fact that these folks who are established, well known and yet and there's no real favorite in the face," Pawlenty said Friday on CNN's "American Morning." "So there's a ton of upside for my candidacy and it gives me a chance to introduce myself and put my record from Minnesota out there."

He also appeared unfazed by Sarah Palin's upcoming bus tour.
"This country isn't going to be about rallies or you know bus tours or anything else," Pawlenty said. "This is going to be about a country that is sinking in debt and deficit. We want to have a leader who has actually tackled those issues and doesn't just talk about it."

Parents rally in Harlem to protest NAACP's involvement in school closure lawsuit

Is it ironic that an organization supposedly dedicated to the advancement of African Americans join in on a lawsuit against schools that offer Black kids a better education?

In a rational world, it would be.

However we’re dealing with the machinery that makes up the Democrat Party. The NAACP ceased being a relevant institution years ago and is now reduced to being apparatchiks for Democrats. So, it’s no mystery to me that they would side with the United Federation of Teacher’s (UFT) lawsuit to crush charter schools.

Charter schools employ non-union teachers which is one of the reasons why they out perform traditional public schools with their bloated teacher salaries and benefit packages. But, the important thing here to realize is that the UFT wants to continue to collect union dues so they can continue to send it to the Democrat Party. The NAACP is just a tool to keep the spigot open.

This is how little Democrats thinks of Black people. They prefer money for themselves and don’t mind that these kids are locked in failing schools. In fact, it serves a dual purpose. A a failing school system continues to collect union schools, and under educates the very constituency they depend on for votes. A less educated population is susceptible to staying in poverty. That suits the Dems just fine because they’re the party of the little guy.

It’s a vicious cycle!


New York Daily News

Parents rallied in Harlem Thursday to blast the NAACP's involvement in a lawsuit to halt the closure of failing schools and expansion of charter schools.

The families, many with kids in city charter schools, and advocates criticized the civil rights group for joining the teachers union in a fight to block the closure of 22 schools and stop 17 charter schools from opening or growing.

"Charter schools are public schools, too - we need space to grow," Harlem Children's Zone founder Geoffrey Canada told the crowd of about 2,500 people gathered outside a state administrative building on 125th St.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Republicans Are Waging a 'War on Women'


But Democrats who vote pro-life get a pass

The mind of the Liberal is an incredible thing. They live in a world of their own where attempting to prevent taxpayer funding of abortion is somehow construed as a war against women.

Think about that for a moment.

It’s warlike, according to Debbie, to not want to be party to abortion. So killing unborn babies is not warlike, but withholding public funding is?

To the rational mind, it doesn’t make sense.

But, Liberal thought has absolutely nothing to do with rationality.

Weekly Standard

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the new chair of the Democratic National Committee, said Thursday morning that Republicans are "anti-woman" and are waging "war on women" in pursuit of an "extremely radical social agenda." What about her Democratic colleagues who voted the same way as Republicans to cut off taxpayer-funding of abortion and/or Planned Parenthood? Are they "anti-woman" as well? "No," said Wasserman Schultz. They get a pass.

"It's just so hard for me to grasp how they [Republicans] can be as anti-woman as they are," Wasserman Schultz told reporters at a breakfast meeting sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. She continued: "I think that the pushback and the guttural reaction from women against the Republicans' agenda out of the gate, the war on women that the Republicans have been waging since they took over the House, I think is not only going to restore but help us exceed the president's margin of victory in the next election."

8yrs old Texas girl Tori Blair Wilson, hangs herself, bullying possible


I don’t know any of the details of this girl’s life, but something doesn’t smell right here. What does an 8 year old girl know about wanting to commit suicide? That’s way too young to have suicidal thoughts.

Something ain’t right!

Daily Mail

An eight-year-old girl found dead in the woods near her home had hanged herself after being bullied, police have said.

The body of little Tori Blair Wilson was discovered just 80 yards from her house near Palestine, East Texas, after she went missing from a neighborhood barbecue.

Following a weeks-long investigation, an autopsy has now revealed the second-grader died from suicide by hanging.

It also found the pretty eight-year-old had talked about suicide in the past, once even putting her head in a noose in front of one of her friends.

Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor told CBS: 'It appears she was a good student with no problems at school, but we did receive information she may have been bullied at some point.'

He told local newspaper the Palestine Herald Tori may even have been bullied on the day of her death, but investigators had not discovered any specific culprits.

Tori was a pupil at Westwood Primary School, where she was described as a 'very fine student' who was loved by teachers.

She had been playing happily with bikes and water balloons at the neighborhood barbecue near her home on Sunday, April 17, when she disappeared.
