1. Crony capitalism in Chicago turns “green” into greenbacks
A gaffe, they say, is when someone in politics accidentally tells the truth...When Elizabeth Moler, the chief lobbyist for utility giant Exelon, said in 2009 that Exelon is proud to be the President’s utility, she threw a spotlight on the ties between Barack nObama and a company that stands to make billions off the President’s environmental policies. Those ties include nObama’s campaign chief David Axelrod, who worked for Exelon, and the President’s first chief of staff at the White House, Rahm Emanuel, who negotiated the merger that created the company. An Exelon board member, John W. Rogers, was described by the New York Times as “a friend of the president’s and one of his top fund-raisers.” The President’s mentor in the Illinois State Senate, Emil Jones, was described by the Washington Examiner as “wrapped around [Exelon’s] finger.” https://www.capitalresearch.org/2013/09/14995
2. Trick to Fund nObamacare While Nobody's Looking
Breitbart is reporting that sources close to House conservative leaders have confirmed to Breitbart News that House GOP leadership is planning to cave and fund nObamacare’s implementation for at least the rest of 2013...Text of the Continuing Resolution (CR) that will fund the government for 60-75 days will be released on Tuesday, the conservative source said, before a House vote on Thursday. The move comes abruptly as conservatives are ramping up their final push on House leadership with a big Tea Party rally outside the Capitol on Tuesday calling for nObamacare’s defunding. House Speaker John Boehner’s spokesman Michael Steel told Breitbart News the “CR will include defunding nObamaCare,” but would not specify whether or not a certain procedural “trick” the GOP leadership used in a similar situation in 2011 will be employed yet again. http://gopthedailydose.com/2013/09/09/house-gop-leadership-plan-pro...
3. Natural Gas – America’s Best Anti-Poverty Program
Let me start by saying that I am enthusiastically in favor of using hydraulic fracturing to build a robust domestic energy program. Until I saw this map, however, I never realized the huge potential in the United States...This past weekend, the Wall Street Journal published an article about the benefits to all Americans, but most notably to those living in poverty by slashing the cost of energy, a major part of every home budget. That article is behind a pay wall, but a version of that article is available at WSJ Online. http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/09/10/natural-gas-americas...
4. Military Test Of Microwave Weapon Successfully
We’ve all been hearing stories of weapons that could send out an impulse or signal that would destroy electronic equipment without destroying buildings or injuring people...(unless they are connected to electrically operated lifesaving equipment or have a pacemaker). Once thought to be the subject of science fiction, they are in fact real and have been successfully tested. http://godfatherpolitics.com/12477/military-test-microwave-weapon-s...
5. NightWatch Review
The Iraq government announced that it joined Iran in opposing a US attack against Syria. Iraq just showed its true allegiance when it counts most -- not to the US, but to Iran...Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov picked on an off-hand sarcastic suggestion by the US Secretary of State today. Russia proposed that Syria place its chemical weapons under international/UN control. It urged Syria to concentrate the chemical weapons and prepare to dismantle them. rian Foreign Minister Mu'allim replied that Syria welcomed the Russian proposal and invited UN inspectors to return to Syria to begin the process. http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/nightwatch/2013/09/11/syrian-rebels...
6. Voters send explosive message on gun control
Big news for those looking to push Barack nObama's gun-control plan. Voters in this state have just taken part in a crucial recall election for gun controllers, and the results may blow you away...In a powerful message to lawmakers considering passing gun-control measures advocated by President nObama, voters in Colorado have recalled a pair of Democratic senators who helped push through a series of gun measures nObama had hoped to use as model legislation. http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/voters-send-explosive-message-on-gun-con...
7. Criminal prosecution urged on Benghazi
On the one-year anniversary of the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, the authors of a new book are recommending impeachment hearings to get to the bottom of what happened at the fated U.S. special mission... “You are about to be introduced to the real Benghazi scandal,” write authors Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott in their latest book, “Impeachable Offenses: The Case to Remove Barack nObama from Office” “This is the Fast and Furious of the Middle East, the Iran-Contra of the nObama administration,” continue Klein and Elliott. http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/benghazi-1-year-later-obama-to-be-ousted/
8. nObama leaves Congress divided, as before, over Syria
Lawmakers remained sharply divided Tuesday night over how tough to get with Syria despite President nObama’s major national address...leaving an open question as to whether the president could corral the votes for a military strike should he decide to take that route. The president backed off the military option in his speech, saying he’s asked Congress to postpone a vote while he waits for Russia-backed diplomatic talks to play out. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/09/11/obama-speech-leaves-cong...
9. Militant Syrian Rebel Group on List of Terrorist
The United States has formally designated the Al Nusra Front, the militant Syrian rebel group, as a foreign terrorist organization...The move, which was expected, is aimed at building Western support for the rebellion against the government of President Bashar al-Assad by quelling fears that money and arms meant for the rebels would flow to a jihadi group. The designation was disclosed on Monday in the Federal Register, just before an important diplomatic meeting Wednesday in Morocco on the political transition if Mr. Assad is driven from power. The notice in the register lists the Al Nusra front as one of the “aliases” of Al Qaeda in Iraq. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/11/world/middleeast/us-designates-sy...
10. Who Do You Trust?
Vladimir Putin, who keeps Edward Snowden on a leash and lets members of a riotous girl band rot in jail, has thrown President nObama a lifeline...The Russian president had coldly brushed back nObama on Snowden and Syria, and only last week called John Kerry a liar. Now, when it is clear nObama can’t convince Congress, the American public, his own wife, the world, Liz Cheney or even Donald “Shock and Awe” Rumsfeld to bomb Syria — just a teensy-weensy bit. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/11/opinion/dowd-who-do-you-trust.htm...
9/11:America's Unfinished Business - Michelle Malkin
Before we head to Syria to avenge the mass murder of their kids, how about we finish avenging ours?
When I say "finish," of course I really mean "start." A dozen years after the 9/11 attacks, the trials against the jihadist plotters who incinerated pregnant women, firefighters, grandparents, newlyweds, toddlers and schoolkids on their first-ever plane rides have yet to begin.
Justice not only has been delayed and denied. Justice has been demoted, disowned and deserted. Justice for the 9/11 victims and families isn't blindfolded. She's gagged and hogtied.
The terror-coddling nObama White House squandered precious years trying to shut down Gitmo to appease the peaceniks, transnationalists and Muslim grievance-mongers. President nObama and Attorney General Eric Holder arrogantly attempted to shove civilian trials of terrorists -- which would have been held a stone's throw from Ground Zero -- down New Yorkers' throats. Ever since, Team nObama has dragged its feet on military tribunals for the al-Qaida crew.
If we're lucky -- that's a big if -- the death penalty war crimes trials for KSM and his co-conspirators may begin in the fall of 2014. Maybe. Thanks to cunning delays, made-for-media theatrics and stomach-turning whining by the Gitmo detainees, the journey to hold the 9/11 plotters accountable has become a vulgar joke.
The last time pretrial hearings were held, defendants used their international platform to complain about bathroom breaks and Navy food, which one accused terrorist equated to "torture." Despite being supplied with fresh halal meals that comport with their Muslim dietary requirements, one member of KSM's posse complained that his lunches did not include extra condiments such as olives and honey.
Back at Club Gitmo, other jihadi suspects continue to enjoy taxpayer-subsidized movie nights, art and English classes, and Nintendos and PlayStations. And if the clogged wheels of justice for 9/11 victims weren't bad enough, don't forget: In 2009, the nObama administration dropped the charges against 2000 U.S.S. Cole bombing suspect, Gitmo detainee and former Persian Gulf Operations Chief for al-Qaida Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri -- and has made no progress on bringing him to justice since reinstating the charges (only under public pressure) in 2011.
How is it that America is poised to use our military -- the American people's, not nObama's -- for a humanitarian intervention that may very well aid and abet the same barbaric forces that brought unprecedented death and destruction to New York City, Shanksville, Pa., and Washington, D.C., just 12 short unavenged years ago?
How is it that we prosecuted 2009 Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan quicker than his bloodthirsty Islamist brethren who orchestrated the 2001 terror plot that killed more than 2,700 innocent men, women and children?
Remember: The Bush administration first brought military charges of conspiracy, murder in violation of the law of war, attacking civilians, hijacking aircraft and terrorism against KSM and his Koran-inspired killing crew in 2008. nObama recklessly aborted those military tribunals in his bleeding-heart social justice bid to provide full U.S. constitutional protections for the foreign soldiers of Allah.
It took the united stand of 9/11 families, veterans, anti-jihad watchdogs and first responders in Manhattan in late 2009 to force nObama and Holder to retreat. They raised their voices to keep 9/11 war crimes trials out of civilian courts, foreign terrorists off of U.S. soil and America from returning to pre-9/11 days when the feds responded to deadly terrorist attacks with arrest warrants. The 9/11 Never Forget Coalition refused to stand on the sidelines while nObama's soft-on-jihad lawyers moved to grant war criminals the same rights as American citizens while endangering the safety of New Yorkers.
Debra Burlingame, founder of 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America and sister of American Airlines Flight 77 pilot Charles Frank "Chic" Burlingame III (the flight the jihadists crashed into the Pentagon) sounded the alarm and warned the nObama/Holder brigade: "We will fight you all the way."
That's the unapologetic vigilance America was supposed to have adopted after the towers fell, the planes crashed and the ashes choked the air. Instead, America's leaders have allowed jihadists to make a mockery of justice. Muslim Brotherhood radicals waltz freely in and out of the nation's capital. Border security remains a joke. A functioning entry-exit program for foreign visa-holders is still nonexistent. There still is no systemic, coherent and unapologetic plan to keep Islamic radicals from spreading their hate and endangering Americans in our military, prisons and schools.
I'm sick of 9/11 anniversary ceremonies by politicians who pay lip service to peace and justice for our country, but refuse to secure them all the way, every day. Remembrance is worthless without resolve. Resolve is useless without action.
Want to honor the 9/11 dead? Take care of unfinished business here at home. Put America first.
