ONE FANTASTIC FIRST FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR

If you missed May’s First Friday Happy Hour, you missed one heckuva great one. 

The afternoon started off with a private newsmaker briefing with presidential exploratory candidate Herman Cain in his suite at the Wynn where, fresh off his boffo performance at the presidential candidate debate the night before in South Carolina, he broke the news that he would be making his formal announcement of his official presidential campaign on May 21st at high noon in Atlanta Georgia.

AS USUAL - WHAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANT OBAMA DOES NOT!

Justice Department Pursues 'Strange' Probe of Execution Drug

By Judson Berger
 
advertisement
The Obama administration has launched a quiet campaign over the past two months to seize from local officials a key drug used in lethal injections -- part of a spreading investigation that has contributed to a de facto death penalty freeze in several states.
The investigation stems from concerns about the overseas source of the drug, though some question whether those concerns make a handy excuse to slow the pace of executions. The seizures started in Georgia, where the Drug Enforcement Administration in March grabbed their supply of sodium thiopental. From there, the DEA swooped into Tennessee, Kentucky and other states to confiscate their stash, forcing the states to either find an alternative chemical or suspend executions.

Book Recommendation: Dismantling America by Thomas Sowell
Though I have read many of these essays and columns before, you will find more common sense about what is wrong with our politics and culture in this book than in all of Washington, DC. ~Bob.

An especially pertinent essay from the book. ~Bob. Excerpt: Too many Americans take the United States for granted and are too easily impressed by what people in other countries say and do. That is especially true of the intelligentsia, and dangerously true of those Supreme Court justices who cite foreign laws when making decisions about American law. There is nothing automatic about the way of life achieved in this country. It is very unusual among the nations of the world today and rarer than four-leaf clovers in the long view of history. It didn’t just happen. People made it happen — and they and those who came after them paid a price in blood and treasure to create and preserve this nation that we now take for granted. More important, this country’s survival is not automatic. What we do will determine that.

THE STATES HAVE THE POWER OF SOVEREIGNTY

OBAMACARE IS NOT MEANT TO PROVIDE HEALTH CARE - IT IS PURE SOCIALISTIC CONTROL!

GRASSTOPS USA

Mr. Boehner, Mr. Cantor, Mr. McCarthy, why are you waiting? Why have you NOT brought legislation to REPEAL the ObamaCare Death Panels to the floor of the House of Representatives for an up-or-down vote?

     Oh yes, Death Panels were in ObamaCare from day one. In spite of what the left-wing media told you, Death Panels were always part of the ObamaCare master plan.

     Stanley Kurtz, writing for National Review Online tells us: "Rationing, death panels, socialism, and deception. It’s all there. ... IPAB is the real death panel... a body of unelected bureaucrats with the power to cut off care through arbitrary rules.... IPAB is the key to socialized, single-payer health-care, which is and has always been Obama’s ultimate goal."


     And David Catron with The American Spectator says; the Independent Payment Advisory Board's (IPAB) sole purpose is "to cut funding for some health care services seniors now take for granted. And those cuts will kill people."

NEVADA - NO NEW TAXES 05/08/2011

CLARK COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY

After more than three months of political posturing, the Nevada Democrat caucus has finally provided us a look at how they plan to raise taxes on Nevadans to continue the Democrats’ runaway spending habits.  Their new tax proposal for Nevada’s businesses comes at a time when our businesses are still suffering from the poor economy.  

STOP THE MAINSREAM MEDIA AND YOU STOP THE LEFT!

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
EXCUSE ME WHILE I SAVE THE WORLD

“The Left does not win its battles in debate,” says Breitbart.  “It doesn’t have to.  In the 21st Century, media are everything.  The Left win because it controls the narrative.  The narrative is controlled by the Left and the Left is the media.  I am at war to gain back control of the media narrative.   I have volunteered to fight in this war. I have risen through the ranks and now find myself on the front lines with an army of New Media warriors following into the fray.”Breitbart.com, Breitbart TV, BigHollywood.com, BigJournalism.com and BigPeace.com.

Breitbart scored his biggest coup when he masterminded an undercover sting of the left-wing group ACORN.  Undercover reporters captured ACORN officials eagerly agreeing to establish a prostitution ring.  This led to swift firings and the denial of Congressional funds for ACORN.

NEVADA - HR SPECIAL ELECTION

Submitted by: Myke

Last week's online poll results:Sharron Angle - 28%
Kirk Lippold 20%
Brian Krolicki - 18%
Mark Amodei - 11%
Danny Tarkanian - 8%
No other candidate garnered even 5 total VOTES.

--------------------
NOW WHAT?
Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki made it clear this week he will not seek this seat in the special election.

CLARIFICATION
Nevada Constitution and/or law give the Governor the job of appointing a replacement for U.S. Senate vacancy, but require a special election to fill a vacancy in U.S. Congress. The Governor must decide when the election takes place, and it must be within a specified time period (180 days, I believe). The Secretary of State is responsible for specifying the rules surrounding the special election. Dean Heller was appointed. Now there is a vacancy. Gov. decided on election date. Secretary of State interpreted the arguably vague law about special elections and announced the rules. That's the framework we have to work within.

Feds Issue Train Alert Based on bin Laden Lair Info
Excerpt: Federal officials sent law enforcement officials a warning that al-Qaida may be targeting trains in the United States, based on information gleaned from documents at Osama bin Laden's compound after the world's top terrorist was killed. The Homeland Security advisory tells law enforcement officials to be vigilant about train security. The missive is general and precautionary in nature because the information dates back more than a year, and no recent intelligence indicates that such a plot is active, officials said. Federal officials say they have not found reference to specific plots, NBC News reported.

The Waterboarding Trail to bin Laden
Excerpt: Osama bin Laden was killed by Americans, based on intelligence developed by Americans. That should bring great satisfaction to our citizens and elicit praise for our intelligence community. Seized along with bin Laden's corpse was a trove of documents and electronic devices that should yield intelligence that could help us capture or kill other terrorists and further degrade the capabilities of those who remain at large. But policies put in place by the very administration that presided over this splendid success promise fewer such successes in the future. Those policies make it unlikely that we'll be able to get information from those whose identities are disclosed by the material seized from bin Laden. The administration also hounds our intelligence gatherers in ways that can only demoralize them. Consider how the intelligence that led to bin Laden came to hand. It began with a disclosure from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), who broke like a dam under the pressure of harsh interrogation techniques that included waterboarding. He loosed a torrent of information—including eventually the nickname of a trusted courier of bin Laden.
