-Short Attention Span Theater-
EPA Administrator to Appear at Broccoli Festival with Willow and Jaden Smith
[FREEBEACON] Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Gina McCarthy will attend an "environmental justice" Broccoli festival that features performances by Willow and Jaden Smith, who do not believe in school or the concept of time.

"On Saturday, April 25, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy will give remarks at the Third Annual Broccoli City Festival's Earth Day celebration," an EPA blurb stated. "Administrator McCarthy will speak about EPA's efforts to implement President B.O.'s Climate Action Plan by building more resilient communities and curbing the carbon pollution fueling climate change through its proposed Clean Power Plan."

The EPA said the third annual festival, which will take place in Southeast Washington from noon to 9 P.M., has a "tradition of bringing together policy makers, business leaders, acclaimed musicians and community stakeholders to highlight solutions to environmental challenges."

"At the core of EPA's mission is an unwavering pursuit of environmental justice," the EPA added. "Too often, America's low-income and minority communities bear the brunt of our country's pollution, so EPA is taking historic action to fight the economic and public health risks of a changing climate by cutting carbon pollution from power plants because pollution and climate impacts are a barrier to economic opportunity, blocking the path to middle-class security."

#2  who do not believe in school or the concept of time.

Seeing as how she is a member of the Obama Administration - which seems to have NO intelligence at all and acts like their rule will last forever - this does not surprise me one little bit.

Steny Hoyer: Same-Sex Couples Are Endowed 'By God' With Right to Marry
[CNSNEWS] Citing the Declaration of Independence, House Democratic Whip the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer
... Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is...
(Md.) argued on the House floor yesterday that same-sex couples are endowed by "their Creator--by God" with a right to marry.

"Our Declaration of Independence, as all of us quote so often, says: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men'--of course, if Jefferson were writing today, it would be either all people or all humankind--'are created equal, that they are endowed by'--not a Congress, not by a Constitution, not by a will of the majority--'their Creator'--by God--'with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'

#1  I couldn't care less, except---knowing our educational establishment (Israeli models itself on American)---it's just a question of time until "same-sex experience" becomes an obligatory part of K-12.

#7  So who is this...lightweight putting words in my mouth?
Posted by: Thomas Jefferson || 04/26/2015 10:53 Comments || Top||

#8  I wonder if Steny knows the rest of it, or why it was written?

I'll wager he doesn't know the Constitution, either.
Posted by: Pappy || 04/26/2015 13:02 Comments || Top||

#9  I don't recall that the Constitution has much of anything to say about marriage--straight or gay.
Posted by: JohnQC || 04/26/2015 15:12 Comments || Top||

#10  BTW, the Declaration of Independence does not say anything about marriage either.

By Hoyer's interpetation, honor killings, serial murder, beheadings, drug use/addiction, etc. or anything that might make one happy is guaranteed by the DOI.

EDUCATION SECRETARY: Parents Who Opt Out of Common Core are Racists
[DIRECTORBLUE.BLOGSPOT] Y'call 'em racist enough times, eventually some of them'll quit voting Dem.

#1  At this point, if they work for the government and call anyone racist, they need to lose their job.

It is always aside of the issue.

Common core is as stupid as the useless idiotized government smurfs are if not more.

They did mental institution crowdsourcing from mental institutions to create that abomination of "educational standards".

#2  I'm not racist.

I'm homicidal.

Keep pushing asshole.

Of course, by then...

#4  Well, IMO that anyone who says the following: "Parents Who Opt Out of Common Core are Racists" is a intolerant and bigoted a&&hole.

#5  You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

Bill Clinton's Wife Condemns 'Scourge Of Sexual Assault' In First Big Speech

#1  Well, he's "assaulted" her at least once.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 04/26/2015 2:44 Comments || Top||

#2  Who is she saying this for?
The political quadrant of the Left is going to vote for her or even Satan because of their exercise of power, nothing else matters. That leaves the part of the electorate that is totally incapable of linking morality to conduct, who just want to hear 'trigger' words.

#3  "And I have first-hand knowledge of how dirty little lying whores in employ of the vast rightwing conspiracy faked sexual assault at the hands of my lovin' husband"

#6  Is she talking about her husband? I hope she's not pontificating because I recall she stood by and did nothing while Bill Clinton outrageously slandered a string of women he pretty much forced himself on. Christopher Hitchens canvassed it quite well in "No-one left to lie to" which had a great photo of slick Willie kind of winking his one eye at the camera with a pursed up smug grin as he surveyed the scene... yup, i think there really isn't even one person left i can lie to, he seems to be saying.
Posted by: anon1 || 04/26/2015 11:21 Comments || Top||

#7  hah, no. Of course she was pontificating. Let me help you Hills:

"When women of any age, whether (anywhere near my husband) on college campuses or military bases or even in their homes, face sexual assault, then no woman is secure,” she declared.
Posted by: anon1 || 04/26/2015 11:22 Comments || Top||

#8  Another tiny strawman issue she will make greater than life.
Posted by: newc || 04/26/2015 14:22 Comments || Top||


#10  Dunno grom, she could have slipped and fell.

Or he got so drunk he only saw half her age.

Could explain poor Cheslea's awkwardness, "Dad, every time I bring a friend home from school!"

#11  Sexual assault is probably her most cherished fantasy.

#12  It's a safe subject for her and she doesn't have many of those left.

Government
Russian Hackers Read Obama's Emails
Some of President Barack Obama's email correspondence was swept up by Russian hackers last year, in a breach of the White House's unclassified computer system that was far more intrusive and worrisome than has been publicly acknowledged, senior American officials told The New York Times on Saturday.

The hackers, who also got deeply into the State Department's unclassified system, do not appear to have penetrated closely guarded servers that control the message traffic from Obama's BlackBerry, which he or an aide carries constantly, the officials said.

#1  Hey NYT - when Obama is using e-mail to coordinate his surrender to Iran with Vladimir Putin (perhaps standing in for Frank Marshall Davis), tht's not "hacking".
Posted by: Lone Ranger || 04/26/2015 3:01 Comments || Top||

#2  And the hackers were amazed at how insipid they were. "It's like a bunch of 12-year old girls meeting up at the mall," said Ivan Putski.

Snark of the day.

#3  Given the exposure of communications, I doubt anyone for a long time will be able to tell the difference between what might have been real and what might be 'cooked'. His future is literally in other people's hands.

#4  And intelligent life on distant galaxies picked up the signals of O's emails, analyzed them, and came to the conclusion that there is no intelligent life in that little sector of the Universe.

Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment made more sense.
