WILL WARREN WING SCUTTLE BUDGET
DEAL? Speaker John Boehner delivered on his
promise to pass a bipartisan budget bill through the House, and he’s taking
plenty of blowback from conservatives for it. But the real test for the two year
can-kick seems to be whether Senate Majority Leader Dinky
Harry Reid can tame an increasingly unruly liberal wing of his
own party. Far-left senators like Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.,
Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Al Franken, D-Minn.,
Tom Udall, D-N.M. and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,
can’t be happy about maintaining more than half of the spending caps from the
2011 debt-limit deal and making no provisions for extended welfare benefits.
Given that so many Democrats are secretly rooting for a shutdown, it might even
seem like the strategic thing to do for a party stuck in the bogs of nObamaCare.
Dinky Reid, who needs four Republican votes if he has all 56 Democrats on board,
will have to pick up one GOPer for every liberal who walks away from the deal.
Boehner found a way. Can Reid? And as Senate Majority Whip Dick
Durbin said, “I’m not sure of anything,” when it comes to the vote
count. Read more from - Fox News.

WALKER OFFERS OBAMACARE
BYPASS Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., is
floating a proposal that would still channel federal subsidies to Wisconsin’s
poor and uninsured, but his plan would allow them to purchase coverage directly
from the insurer and sidestep the on-line “exchange” created by nObamaCare.
Walker’s plan is finding support from some Democrats, as six of them crossed
party lines in the state’s Senate to approve the measure. - Fox

VOTING IRREGULARITIES COULD SWAY VIRGINIA AG RACE
With a recount set in Virginia’s attorney general race for Monday,
Matt Lewis at the Daily Caller observes how voting irregularities could work in
Republican Mark Obenshain’s favor in his battle against
Democrat Mark Herring. Lewis points out that Fairfax County
allowed provisional ballots to be cast beyond the state’s deadline. The county
also did not file every ballot with the clerk of court the day after the
election. Additionally, the Democratic bastions of Hampton Roads and
Charlottesville left more than 1,800 names that should have been purged from
voter lists on the books. A judge recently ruled Obenshain’s campaign has a
right to the polling books, which show who voted. The State Board of Elections
recently certified Herring the winner of the contest by a 165 vote
margin. - Fox News

Ryan-Murray Budget Passes
House
The House passed the Ryan-Murray budget compromise Thursday night by a
vote of 332-94. Republicans approved 169-62. (Here's the roll call). In the Senate, Republican opposition to the
bill is growing, with the main objection being that it undoes the sequester for
the next two years in exchange for down-the-road savings. But as Rep. Tom Cole
(R-OK) argued, "You can't spend your time making perfect the enemy of the good."
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi told her caucus to "embrace the suck" and vote for the bill -- 163 of them did.

1. Bipartisan Budget Deal: Tax and
Tax, Spend and Spend
House Liberty Caucus
Chairman Justin Amash (R-Michigan) aptly summed up
the bipartisan budget deal being pushed by House Speaker John
Boehner...and Democratic leaders in Washington with this quip on his
Facebook page: “Republicans will agree to more spending, and in exchange,
Republicans will get higher taxes.” Putting off real deficit reduction for a
decade longer and enacting tax increases now hasn't budged a few stalwart
constitutionalists in Congress. “This deal trades spending increases in 2014 and
2015 for spending reductions in 2022 and 2023. I hate to use the cliché, but
congress is becoming a cliché by ‘kicking the can down the road’ once again,”
Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie wrote in a
Facebook post opposing the deal. The Republican Tea Party favorite noted that
“Washington has a spending addiction. Just two weeks before current sequester
law would have taken effect to slightly curb the spending binge, establishment
politicians are using every tool at their disposal to undo the law so they can
increase spending.” http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/item/17152-bipartisan-bud...
2. Congressmen Want to Bring nObama
to Court
Congressman Tom
Rice of South Carolina, a Republican, is sponsoring a resolution in the House of
Representatives that would, if adopted, direct the legislative body "to bring a
civil action...for declaratory or injunctive relief to challenge
certain policies and actions taken by the executive branch." In other words,
Rep. Rice wants to take President nObama to court for not faithfully executing
the laws. "President nObama has adopted a practice of picking and choosing which
laws he wants to enforce. In most cases, his laws of choice conveniently
coincide with his Administration’s political agenda. Our Founding Fathers
created the Executive Branch to implement and enforce the laws written by
Congress and vested this power in the President. However, President nObama has
chosen to ignore some of the laws written by Congress and implemented by
preceding Presidents," Rice wrote in a letter to fellow House members to ask
them to co-sponsor this resolution. http://www.weeklystandard.com/print/blogs/congressmen-want-bring-ob...
3. Sebelius: Above the
Law?
Top
congressional watchdog Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) had to warn Health and Human
Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius this week that obstructing a congressional
investigation is a federal crime...Sadly, we have reached the point in
America at which members of President nObama’s cabinet aren’t even squeamish
anymore about flouting court orders and legally enforceable congressional
directives because they feel secure in the expectation that they will never be
held to account. These Democrats know that their misdeeds will not see the light
of day because the nObama-worshipping media and opposition party lawmakers are
either unduly, unprofessionally sympathetic to nObama’s agenda or are too afraid
to confront the president out of fear of being tarred as a racist. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/matthew-vadum/sebelius-above-the-l...
4. Kerry’s Iranian Appeasement
Pitch to Congress
Bipartisan
legislation written by two U.S. senators— the Democratic chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez and Republican Senator Mark
Kirk...is asking for alternatives if the Islamist Ayatollahs in Iran do
not abide by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and international
community rules and standards. The details of the legislation, crafted by
Menendez and Kirk, suggest that the sanctions would target Iran’s remaining oil
exports, strategic industries, as well as foreign exchange reserves. A senior
Republican Senate aide told Reuters, speaking on the condition of anonymity,
that this bipartisan legislation is “an insurance policy to protect against
Iranian deception.” http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/majid-rafizadeh/kerrys-iranian-app...
5. nObama Administration Could
Think Failure is Success
Apparently we
live in the Bizarro world where good is bad so therefore bad must be good. That
is the only way that I can explain how Democrat faithful would be happy with
this recent report from the nObama administration about
nObamacare...The nObama administration says that 365,000 people chose
health care plans using nObamacare websites by the end of November. Um. So
365,000 is certainly better than 0. But is it in any way shape or form good? No.
Over five million people have LOST their health insurance, and the word is that
millions more perhaps upwards of 50 MILLION more will likely be losing their
insurance in the very near future. So 365,000 is really no great shakes. http://eaglerising.com/3539/obama-administration-think-failure-succ...
6. MSNBC’s Ed Schultz:
Healthcare.gov Website is Fixed
MSNBC’s Ed
Schultz did a little nObama administration PR on Wednesday night when he claimed
that the government’s problematic website, healthcare.gov, is fixed...His advice to
the Democrats is to tell people, “It works:” As usual, Schultz is off the mark.
First of all the website isn’t fixed. The government is admitting to an error
rate of 10%, but it’s probably higher, based on the fact that the administration
has been fudging the numbers from day one. http://www.aim.org/don-irvine-blog/msnbcs-ed-schultz-healthcare-gov...
7. nOBAMACARE was Deliberately
Designed to Fail
Is the
ineptitude of nObamaCare authors and directors really a function of good
old-fashioned government incompetence? Or is a widely ignorant American public
being taken in...by precisely what members of the radical left WANT to
be brought about by the Affordable Care Act? Could the daily disasters–the
suspended employer mandate, “honor system” reporting of income, previously
unannounced taxes, doctors refusing to treat nObamaCare policy holders, the
ludicrous Healthcare.gov website, the baldfaced lies about keeping your
insurance and your doctors–could these extraordinary failures actually mean that
the rollout of the ACA is proceeding exactly according to plan?
“nObamacare is the last step towards universal health care and a
single-payer government system.” http://www.coachisright.com/obamacare-deliberately-designed-fail/
8. Russia Threatens To Use Nuclear
Weapons On America
It seems as if
the heat has recently been turned up on foreign relations. Russia has recently
warned the United States government that if American Missiles target Russia,
they will have no choice but to respond with nuclear weapons...This
comes in response to a plan that was supposed to be dropped as signaled by the
Bush administration. Of course, caring nothing for the desire of other people,
nObama has picked the plan back up and revived it. The controversial issue is
called the EPAA missile shield. Its main purpose is to have the capability to
shoot a missile out of the air before it has the chance to detonate. U.S.
officials have decided to set forth motions as they intend to construct the
shield in Europe. http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/12/28895-russia-threatens-to-use...
9. nObama’s Illegal Immigrant Aunt
YOU Must Pay Her Way
You may not
know this, but nObama has an aunt living on welfare in Boston. She is also an
illegal alien. But, worse, she says that we, the American people...are
obligated to pay her way for free because she is simply entitled to our
money with no effort required on her part. In 2004 an immigration judge ordered
that nObama’s Aunt Zeituni Onyango was to be deported. She refused to go, of
course. Amazingly, after nObama became President, that very same judge suddenly
found his way clear to grant her legal status. nObama claims he exerted no undue
influence. We have a bridge to sell you if you believe that. http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/12/28920-obamas-illegal-immigran...
10. GOP 2014
strategy
Republicans
plan to target Hispanics and other minorities for votes while building stronger
state parties to turn swing states red, The Daily Caller has
learned...GOP operatives and political staffers gathered in Washington,
D.C. from Monday to Wednesday for the Republican National Committee’s political
staff training conference, “The New GOP Model For Campaigns,” to hash out a
winning strategy for the upcoming elections. The GOP plans to entrench
grassroots organizers in Democratic-leaning communities to cultivate support
from blacks and Hispanics, and buttress red state strongholds, which are key to
not only maintaining a majority in the House, but retaking the Senate and
presidency as well. http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/13/gop-2014-strategy-attract-minorit...
Prize-Winning Journalist
Says nObama Lied About Syria
-
Tad Cronn
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh has nailed
the nObama Administration to the wall with his article in the London Review of
Books alleging that President nObama lied to the American people when he said
the U.S. has proof that Syria was behind the poison gas attack that nearly led
us to war earlier this year.
Hersh says that the White House selectively edited
intelligence information to make it appear that officials knew about the sarin
gas attack in real time.
According to Hersh: "A former senior intelligence official
told me that the nObama administration had altered the available information –
in terms of its timing and sequence – to enable the president and his advisers
to make intelligence retrieved days after the attack look as if it had been
picked up and analysed in real time, as the attack was happening. The
distortion, he said, reminded him of the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, when the
Johnson administration reversed the sequence of National Security Agency
intercepts to justify one of the early bombings of North Vietnam."
In September, Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S.
had proof that the poison gas attack was carried out on Bashar Assad's orders,
and nObama gave his now-infamous "red line" speech as he pushed for military
intervention.
Hersh also alleges that the nObama Administration
deliberately buried information on the rebel group al-Nusra, which was believed
to be capable of manufacturing sarin. Al-Nusra was apparently never considered a
suspect in the attack.
According to Hersh, the Administration was learning about
the situation after the attack at about the same speed as the public was, and
that the early intelligence briefings included no mention of Syria in connection
to the attack.
Not surprisingly, media laziness was also a factor,
according to Hersh, as journalists did not question a U.N. report that said the
rocket used in the sarin attack matched those in the Syrian arsenal. However,
further analysis by MIT professor Theodore Postol and other munitions experts
revealed that the rocket appeared to have been improvised and was likely made
locally, rather than taken from Syria's supply of weapons.
nObama has for years had his eyes on Syria as a military
target, and to that end his Administration has smuggled weapons and fighters,
many drawn from terrorist groups, to keep the "civil war" going in that country.
That nObama would have fabricated a story to blame Syria for an attack it had no
involvement in is not really a shock to those who've paid attention to this
Administration's actions.
What's significant here is that the allegations come from
a Pulitzer Prize winner, one of the demigods of journalism. While it's been easy
for the lamestream media to laugh off unknowns and anybody thought to be
conservative, or to kill careers and reputations with charges of racism, it will
be exceedingly difficult for many journalists to stomach any such treatment of
one of their profession's idols.
The writer brought it all home with his comparison of
nObama's actions to those of the previous Administration, which the media had no
compunction about slandering at every opportunity. "The cherry-picking was
similar to the process used to justify the Iraq war," Hersh said.
There's an implicit challenge in Hersh's allegations: It's
long past time for the media to treat this president like a politician and not a
saint.
