will Rep. Charles Rangel wind up in the shit house?
WASHINGTON – A House investigative committee on Thursday charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics violations, dealing a serious blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and complicating Democrats' election-year outlook.
The House ethics committee won't reveal the specific charges until next Thursday in a public meeting. However, sources familiar with the allegations, who were not authorized to discuss them publicly, said the charges against the 40-year Democrat were related to:
_Rangel's use of official stationery to raise money for the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at City College of New York.
His use of four rent-subsidized apartment units in New York City. The city's rent stabilization program is supposed to apply to one's primary residence. One had been used as a campaign office, raising a separate question of whether the rent break was an improper gift.
Rangel's failure to report income as required on his annual financial disclosure forms. The committee had investigated his failure to report income from the lawmaker's rental unit at the Punta Cana Yacht Club in the Dominican Republic. Rangel also belatedly disclosed hundreds of thousands of dollars in investment assets.
The charges by a four-member panel of the House ethics committee sends the case to a House trial. A separate panel of four Republicans and four Democrats will decide whether the violations can be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

Black USDA official resigns dealing with white people
Black USDA official resigns after saying she only 'did enough' for white farmer
A black USDA official in Georgia has resigned after publicly admitting she didn't help a white man trying to save his farm to the "full force" of her power and instead referred him to "one of his own."
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack accepted Shirley Sherrod's resignation, saying there was "zero tolerance for discrimination at USDA."
But Sherrod, in an interview with CNN, said her remarks to the NAACP were being intentionally misconstrued by conservative groups stoking racial tensions.

To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine
To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine
From the Inside Flap / America on the Brink
The Obama administration is conspiring to transform America. They want to remake our America—of free enterprise, faith, and personal freedom—into their America—of endless bureaucracy, secularism, and state control—despite overwhelming opposition from the American people.How is this possible? How has the Obama team succeeded in adopting widely despised policies like the massive stimulus bill and the healthcare takeover? How could such a radical president and his congressional leaders get elected and then take a center-right country in a socialist direction bitterly opposed by most Americans? Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has the answer: the Left have built a secular-socialist machine out of corruption, lust for power, and sheer ruthlessness, and are using it to steamroll over the will of the people. In this book, Gingrich reveals:
* How the secular-socialist machine gained power through deception and outright lies
* How the machine shuts the American people out of the legislative process
* Why some of our most powerful leaders seek to banish religion from public life
* How the machine uses taxpayer money to pay off its supporters and punish its opponents
* How we can replace, not reform, Obama’s socialist programs
Exposing the mortal threat now facing America, To Save America offers concrete strategies for dismantling the machine and replacing it with policies and institutions that work. But we must act fast, Gingrich warns, or our children will inherit a secular, socialist America transformed beyond recognition.

Obama Diaries : fact or fiction ?
In The Obama Diaries, Ingraham hilariously skewers the president and his minions. She takes aim at:
•the cynical "razzle-dazzle" marketing of Obama’s radical agenda
•the use of the Obama "brand" and family to obscure Obama’s true aims
•Michelle Obama’s gardening and anti-obesity initiative; and much more.
Informative and hugely entertaining, The Obama Diaries will inspire both laughter and critical thinking about the future of the nation and the man currently at the helm.
Excerpts from Laura Ingraham’s The Obama Diaries
Obama on Sarah Palin:
"Hell, doesn’t Palin have anything better to do than criticize me? Shouldn’t she be back home shooting some endangered wolf species from a helicopter?" (April 9, 2010)
Michelle on being First Lady:
"I’ll be damned if all this fabulosity is going to go to waste reading Dr. Seuss to snot-nosed kids all day." (January 23, 2009)
Vice President Joe Biden on Michelle Obama:
"She’s kind of like a black Hillary Clinton. I mean that in a good way." (May 5, 2009)
Obama on his visit to the Vatican:
"If I can ingratiate myself with a few more of these red-hats, the pope thing might not be a bad follow-up to the presidency." (July 10, 2009)

Obama team plays race card in Arizona
Obama team plays race card in Arizona
From:
Grassfire Nation
Grassfire Nation Update Obama v. Arizona
The Obama team just played the race card in your home stateof Arizona. Attorney General Holder is not only refusing to back downon the Obama lawsuit against Arizonas new immigrationlaw (S.B. 1070), he is now threatening a second lawsuit. Holder said that in six months or a year the federalgovernment could come back and file a lawsuit againstArizona to determine "whether or not there has been thatracial profiling impact."
Holder was signaling that the Obama team is ready to unleashthe full force of the federal government against Arizona. These are not idle threats. We should not be surprised ifany race-based lawsuit from the Obama team includes so-called"hate crimes" allegations. The intent is clear: demonize -and possible criminalize anyone who opposes the Obama amnesty agenda.
Take A Stand For Your States Immigration Law This latest race-based attack on patriotic Americans means we must do even more to stand against the Obama-Lefts agenda.
Grassfire Nation and ResistNet are planning on presenting 250,000 petitions at a National Immigration Policy Summit that begins July 30 in Phoenix. This also coincides with the first court ruling on the Obama teams lawsuit against Arizona.

9 states backs Arizona immigration law
Brief for 9 states backs Arizona immigration law
DETROIT – Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox has filed a legal brief on behalf of nine states supporting Arizona's immigration law.
The Republican gubernatorial candidate said Wednesday that Michigan is the lead state backing Arizona in federal court. Michigan is joined by Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Virginia, as well as the Northern Mariana Islands.
Mike Cox says states are authorized to enforce immigration laws and protect their borders.

The Arizona law directs officers to question people about their immigration status during the enforcement of other laws and if there's a reasonable suspicion they're in the U.S. illegally.
President Barack Obama's administration recently filed suit to block it, saying immigration is a federal issue.

Nebraska Town Approves Ban on Hiring or Renting to Illegal Immigrants
Nebraska Town Approves Ban on Hiring or Renting to Illegal Immigrants
Residents of Fremont, Nebraska, on Monday voted in favor of a measure that makes it illegal to harbor, hire, or rent property to an illegal immigrant.
The Associated Press reported moments ago:
The special election in Fremont on Monday was the latest proposal in a series of immigration regulations taken up by communities around the country. About 57 percent of voters supported the measure, which is expected to be challenged in court.
Supporters say the measure is needed to make up for what they see as lax federal law enforcement. Opponents fear it could fuel discrimination.
According to local paper the Fremont Tribune, turnout was high:

US national debt is like a cancer ?
US national debt is like a cancer ?
The debt is like a cancer,
Democrat Erskine Bowles told the governors. "It is going to destroy the country from within."
Ahead of the Bell: Budget deficit (AP)
WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit likely will top $1 trillion through the first nine months of this budget year, a slightly improvement from last year's record pace.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are forecasting that the June deficit will total $69.5 billion, which would push the deficit so far this budget year above $1 trillion. The Treasury Department will release the June deficit at 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday.
The June imbalance would compare to a deficit of $94.3 billion in June 2009. The Congress Budget Office is forecasting that government receipts will be up by about $36 billion this June, compared to June 2009, reflecting in part higher collections of corporate income taxes as company profits rise with a rebounding economy.
The CBO is forecasting that the government spending rose by $11 billion this June compared to a year ago. The CBO estimate reflects an expected $19 billion drop in spending to support the financial system this June compared to a year ago but a $30 billion rise in spending on other government programs.
Many private economists are forecasting that the deficit for this year will come in around $1.3 trillion, which would be the second-highest deficit on record. But it would be down slightly from last year's all-time high of $1.4 trillion.
The Obama administration is forecasting that the deficit for the 2011 budget year, which begins Oct. 1, will remain above $1 trillion at $1.27 trillion. And the administration predicts the imbalances over the next decade will total $8.5 trillion.
The deficits have been driven higher by the lingering effects of the worst recession since the 1930s. About one-third of the higher deficits in this period are a result of a drop in government tax revenues.
The other two-thirds of the deficit increases reflect higher government spending to stabilize the financial system, stimulate the economy and cope with the impact of the downturn through increased spending for such programs as unemployment benefits and food stamps.
The tide of red ink has sparked a political backlash with surveys showing rising unhappiness among voters with the ballooning deficits.
Obama has appointed a national debt commission to report after the November midterm elections on ways that the federal deficits can be brought under control.
The heads of the panel told the National Governors Association on Sunday that everything needs to be considered including curtailing popular tax breaks, such as the home mortgage deduction.
"The debt is like a cancer," Democrat Erskine Bowles told the governors. "It is going to destroy the country from within."

Gergen at CNN picked up this story........Now the pig is dead
How did we get here, asked former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson, the other co-chairman. For the past 60 years, politicians in Congress have been trained to bring home the bacon. "Now the pig is dead," he said. "There is no more bacon to bring home."
Clearly, we have some very tough choices ahead. The 18-member deficit commission-- two-thirds of it appointed by Congress, one-third by the president -- is working hard to come up with recommendations by early December. (No one in Washington wants them before the November elections.) It's too early to know where the commission will come out or how much influence it will have -- the co-chairmen themselves say chances of success are small -- but it is already clear that the commission will present the country with gut-wrenching decisions.
