Galvanizing conservatives Dinesh D’Souza and
John Sullivan’s documentary 2016: Obama's America
grossed a stellar $6.3 million as it expanded nationwide over the weekend,
beating a trio of three new films.
The anti-Barack Obama film, opening last month in only a few
theaters, now boasts a domestic cume of $9.2 million, the top gross of the year
for a documentary (excluding nature films). Bully was the previous
crownholder with $3.5 million.
Among other records, Obama's America is now the top conservative
documentary of all time, beating out Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
($7.7 million).
Obama's America -- promoted heavily on talk radio and distributed by
Rocky Mountain Pictures -- timed its nationwide expansion to the Republican
National Convention, which gets underway this week in Tampa, Fla.
Otherwise, it was a dismal weekend for new offerings. Holdovers dominated the
box office chart, led by Lionsgate and Millennium Films' The
Expendables, which grossed $13.5 million in its second weekend for a 10-day
domestic cume of $52.3 million.
Sony's new Joseph Gordon-Levitt action thriller Premium
Rush came in No. 8, opening to a muted $6.3 million. The film cost just
north of $30 million to produce and is directed by noted screenwriter
David Koepp, who co-wrote the script with John
Kamps.
You can "give Grijalva the boot" by voting for Amanda Aguirre, according to a set of new attack ads from the Aguirre campaign.
The first ad begins, "Raúl Grijalva has never held a job that taxpayers haven't subsidized," and goes on to criticize his boycott comments from 2010, which have been a major theme of this race.
The other two ads feature a male voice-over who says things like "folks" and "I reckon" and "du-n't" instead of "doesn't."
"Grijalva says 'Truth to Power.' I reckon he loves power, but where's the truth?" the voice says.
When a picture of a cowgirl boot comes on the screen, the voice chuckles and says, "Let's put our best foot forward, vote for Amanda and give Grijalva the boot."
You can see all three TV ads on Aguirre's YouTube page.
There’s the way things LOOK…and the way things really ARE. Either way, Harry Reid’s family of sons making their careers as lobbyists reeks of political opportunism. Didn’t a single one want to be a Fireman? A Doctor?
A decade ago, the Los Angeles Times was the first to investigate Senator Harry Reid noting that THREE of Reid’s FOUR sons at the time were LOBBYISTS. Each Reid boy worked for Nevada’s largest law firm, Lionel, Sawyer & Collins. All of them have benefited from Reid’s position.
Here’s how the Los Angeles Times put it:
“Harry Reid is in a class by himself. One of his sons and his son-in-law lobby in Washington for companies, trade groups and municipalities seeking Reid’s help in the Senate. A second son has lobbied in Nevada for some of those same interests, and a third has represented a couple of them as a litigator.

I am President Obama’s classmate at Columbia University, Class of ’83. I am
also one of the most accurate Las Vegas oddsmakers and prognosticators. Accurate
enough that I was awarded my own star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. And I
smell something rotten in Denmark. Obama has a big skeleton in his closet. It’s
his college records. Call it “gut instinct” but my gut is almost always right.
Obama has a secret hidden at Columbia- and it’s a bad one that threatens to
bring down his presidency. Gut instinct is how I’ve made my living for 29 years
since graduating Columbia.
Obama and his infamous strategist David Axelrod understand how to play
political hardball, the best it’s ever been played. Team Obama has decided to
distract America’s voters by condemning Mitt Romney for not releasing enough
years of his tax returns. It’s the perfect cover. Obama knows the best defense
is a bold offense. Just keep attacking Mitt and blaming him for secrecy and
evasion, while accusing him of having a scandal that doesn’t exist. Then ask
followers like Senator Harry Reid to chase the lead. The U.S. Senate Majority
Leader appears to now be making up stories out of thin air, about tax returns he
knows nothing about. It’s a cynical, brilliant, and vicious strategy. Make
Romney defend, so he can’t attack the real Obama scandal.
This is classic Axelrod. Obama has won several elections in his career by
slandering his opponents and leaking sealed documents. Not only do these
insinuations and leaks ruin the credibility and reputation of Obama’s opponents,
they keep them on the defensive and off Obama’s trail of sealed documents.
By attacking Romney’s tax records, Obama’s socialist cabal creates a problem
that doesn’t exist. Is the U.S. Senate Majority Leader making up stories out of
thin air? You decide. But the reason for this baseless attack is clear- make
Romney defend, so not only is he “off message” but it helps the media ignore the
real Obama scandal.
My answer for Romney? Call Obama’s bluff.
Romney should call a press conference and issue a challenge in front of the
nation. He should agree to release more of his tax returns, only if Obama
unseals his college records. Simple and straight-forward. Mitt should ask “What
could possibly be so embarrassing in your college records from 29 years ago that
you are afraid to let America’s voters see? If it’s THAT bad, maybe it’s
something the voters ought to see.” Suddenly the tables are turned. Now Obama is
on the defensive.
My bet is that Obama will never unseal his records because they contain
information that could destroy his chances for re-election. Once this challenge
is made public, my prediction is you’ll never hear about Mitt’s tax returns ever
again.
Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United States,
so important to keep secret? I think I know the answer.
If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia University,
it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of
’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And
I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought
I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama
(or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. Never
even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia have ever
met him, saw him, or heard of him.
But don’t take my word for it. The
Wall Street Journal reported in 2008 that Fox News randomly called 400 of
our Columbia classmates and never found one who had ever met Obama.
Now all of this mystery could be easily and instantly dismissed if Obama
released his Columbia transcripts to the media. But even after serving as
President for 3 1/2 years he refuses to unseal his college records. Shouldn’t
the media be as relentless in pursuit of Obama’s records as Romney’s? Shouldn’t
they be digging into Obama’s past–beyond what he has written about himself–with
the same boundless enthusiasm as Mitt’s?
The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you seal
your records? So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not release the
records? He’s president of the free world, for gosh sakes. He’s
commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor grades from
three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem? Doesn’t that make the
media suspicious? Something doesn’t add up.
Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted to an
Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at Columbia were
awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again those grades must
have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep them sealed?
Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from a
wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he not have
to maintain good grades?
I can only think of one answer that would explain this mystery.
Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental
and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in
Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he
returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age
preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I’m
betting not.
If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find
that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get
into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.
D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School
because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like
this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.
If you think I’m “fishing” then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr.
President. What are you afraid of?
If it’s okay for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to go on a fishing
expedition about Romney’s taxes (even though he knows absolutely nothing about
them nor will release his own), then I think I can do the same thing. But as
Obama’s Columbia Class of ’83 classmate, at least I have more standing to make
educated guesses.
It’s time for Mitt to go on the attack and call Obama’s bluff.
Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran, what her religion ?
Despite the information being easily accessed, most Americans are likely
still unaware that Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran, and spent her first five
years in that country. Like Barack Obama, Jarrett’s initial experience was not
as an American, but an American/Muslim hybrid. According to an American Spectator report in August
of 2008, the Obama campaign had initiated an aggressive program to hide Jarrett’s Iranian background.
This program received significant help from certain
media figures who were only too happy to comply with the Obama camp’s request
that Jarrett’s Middle East ties were not made a public matter – even as
Iranian.com declared Jarrett its “Iranian of the Day” that same month of
August.
Also during that same time period, Barack Obama admitted to the New
York Times that, “I trust her (Jarrett) to speak for me, particularly when
we’re dealing with delicate issues” and that he ran every important decision by
her first.

David Plouffe, White House senior adviser, sent a fiery memo to House and
Senate Democrats late Friday, urging them to use the August recess to echo
President Barack Obama’s message to middle-class families that “he is on their
side by fighting for legislation that grows the economy from the middle out, not
the top down.”
did Valerie Jarrett recommend David Plouffe as a presidential adviser?
Well. Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran, is she considered a citizen of Iran?
Obama quietly eases the rules for getting welfare assistance. The HHS department rewrites the rules for determining eligibility for welfare.
It was revealed late last week through a Health and Human Services memo that
the Obama administration is planning to quietly reform, and as Republicans
allege unilaterally gut, the 1996 Welfare Reform Bill. Under the new
reforms, states would be allowed to request waivers for the work requirements
for welfare recipients that were at the foundation of the 1996 bill.
“This is a brazen and unwarranted unraveling of welfare reform,” Michigan
Republican and Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Rep. David Camp
told the Washington Times. “This ends welfare reform as we know
it.”
The Times notes that the new policy would allow states to launch their own
welfare reform projects,during which they would not have to require that
recipients work.
The Obama administration does not have the ability to waive the work
requirement by themselves, but can waive another section of the act that
includes language requiring states to enforce the work requirement. On “Real
News” Tuesday the panel discussed the possible reform to welfare policy and
the administration’s legal authority to waive the work requirement.
Pres Obama wants another $1 billion for education !
What the shit !!!!
Just look at the track record of Arne Duncan with the Chicago school system, his history was a disaster for the children of Chicago, now he's at a federal level position.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said he expected the two parties to come
together to support achievement in areas of high demand. "This initiative has nothing to do with politics," Duncan said. "It's
absolutely in our country's best long-term economic interest to do a much better
job in this area."
The 7 Habits’ author Stephen Covey dies |The Salt Lake Tribune
Stephen R. Covey, a former Brigham Young University
business management professor who catapulted to fame and fortune with the
publication in 1989 of his book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," has
died.
Covey died early Monday morning at the Eastern Idaho
Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls from the residual effects of a bicycle
accident in April, his family said. He was 80 years old.
Covey, who after his early success went on to write a
string of books playing off the "7 Habits" themes that reportedly sold more than
20 million copies in 38 languages, became a management guru for companies and
government agencies. He was named to Time magazine’s top 25 most influential
Americans of 1996 and "The 7 Habits" made several lists as one of the most
influential business books ever.
In 2011, Covey was ranked 47th in the Thinkers 50 list of
world’s Top 50 business thinkers.
