Obama’s Friday afternoon Walkabout Act
 By Judi McLeod

Did President Barack Obama’s surprise walk out of the White House Friday to get a sandwich and a spotlight in the ongoing government shutdown have anything to do with CFP’s contention that the 2013 White House is under siege?


Obama’s ‘disarm, obey, and shut up’ bi-partisanship
 By Bogdan Kipling
Washington – Will Republicans or President Obama pay the political price for the government shutdown? There is no telling today. But lose no patience, a credible answer is only a month away.

Spirit of Lois Lerner and Her “Phony Scandal” Haunts Dr. Ben Carson!
 By John Lillpop
Although she has been driven from her position with the IRS and is supposedly no longer involved with that dysfunctional, and perhaps at times criminal, wing of the Democrat Party, the spirit of Lois Lerner appears to be alive and well as the agency continues it shameless abuse of authority against Americans for political purposes.

Senator Tom Harkin Uses ‘Mouthism’ to Advance His Distasteful Politics
 By Jerry McConnell
One of the most antagonistic and belligerent U S Senators, Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, is still his cranky old self and isn’t holding back in his aggressive and confrontational mouthisms.  What’s a ‘mouthism’?  Well, it’s something intentionally spewed from the mouth of a Harkin; not just any old Harkin. This one is a senator also named Tom from the normally and traditional conservative state of Iowa.

ObamaCare is Not Ready for Prime Time
 By Jeff Crouere
It has been over three years since the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was officially passed by Congress on March 23, 2010.  In that time, the Obama administration was obviously unable to adequately prepare for the launch of the healthcare exchanges. This perfectly illustrates the inefficiency, dysfunction and mismanagement of our federal government.

The Bunker-Barry mentality of today’s White House
 By Judi McLeod
The White House is under siege, and has been so since the 2013 sequestration.  America’s top tourist draw continues to be held under siege by a malcontent community organizer who claimed the presidency in 2008, and his chip-on-the-shoulder wife.

More Essential: Well-being of 330 Million Americans, or Ego Comfort of a Jaded Tyrant?
 By John Lillpop
Being an intellectual heavy weight is not all roses and wine, as America’s failed community organizer/president has learned.

ObamaCare’s Failure to Launch
 By Arnold Ahlert
Despite repeated warnings, highlighted by Democrat Sen. Max Baucus’s (D-MT) prediction last April of “a huge train wreck coming down” if ObamaCare wasn’t implemented correctly, that train wreck is exactly what has come to pass. Furthermore, there are already signs that the unpopular law is becoming more unpopular in the process.

War Vets show the world true face behind Obama mask
 By Judi McLeod
War Vets, WAR MEMORIAL, Obama
In the end history will remember that it was the league of grandfathers and great grandfathers with time-creased faces—35,000 World War II veterans who dropped the mask on a cruel, self-centered and cold-hearted president, showing the world for once and for all who President Barack Obama really is.

Stunt at WW II Memorial Shows More Evidence Obama is a Thug
 By Doug Patton
Imagine you are a veteran of World War II approaching your 90th birthday. This may be your last opportunity to visit the memorial that was erected to honor your service. You have come to your nation’s Capital, only to find that your president has ordered that memorial barricaded to keep you out.

Senior White House official: ‘It doesn’t matter to us’ how long shutdown lasts . . . ‘we’re winning’
 By Robert Laurie
The Wall Street Journal has an interesting quote from a senior administration official, who outlines his deep concern for those effected by the federal shutdown:

Democrats have demanded conditions for debt-ceiling increases 21 times since 1979
 By Dan Calabrese
Why, those irresponsible Republicans, risking the full faith and credit of the United States by threatening not to raise the debt limit! It’s unheard of! It’s unprecedented! It’s beyond the pale, I tell ya!

I Am Not a Barackader
 By Daniel Greenfield
I haven’t written about the shutdown, but I haven’t written much about the debate around the shutdown itself.

Full faith and WHAT!!!!!
 By Sarge
With government allegedly at a standstill the rubber gummed hucksters are spreading their rhetoric like fresh slop in a pig-pen. The politicos are talking about funding the government and whether for or against ObamaCare, they swear on their ancestors’ hallowed graves they don’t want to jeopardize the world’s “full faith and trust” in the American economy.
It would be a lot easier to believe in the “full faith and trust” of our economy if we had ANYTHING approaching “full faith and trust” in the jackasses claiming they represent the American people and the government they’ve screwed up so majestically over the past few decades.

Mr. President, You Can End the Government Shutdown
 By Heritage Foundation
President Obama has made it clear he “will not negotiate” when it comes to ending the government shutdown.

ObamaCare Worse Than Prohibition
 By J.D. Longstreet
I am fully aware that most Americans today have no clue as to the damage one federal law brought to—and did to— America.  I refer to Prohibition.  It was then, just as it is today with ObamaCare, all brought down on our heads by a bunch of people who were absolutely, positively, convinced they knew what was best for America and they were one hundred percent determined to “fundamentally change” America.

America and the good psychopaths
 By Caroline Glick
In his speech on Tuesday before the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu tried to get the Americans to stop their collective swooning at the sight of an Iranian president who smiled in their general direction.

“Revolution Beyond Borders” Comes to America
 By Cliff Kincaid
The famous GOP strategist Karl Rove, who lost $300 million betting on a Mitt Romney victory in 2012, says it appears that President Obama is on an “ideological crusade” against the Republican Party. Congratulations to Rove for recognizing the obvious. But where does Obama’s ideology come from? This is where Karl Rove, most Republicans, and even many in the conservative media fear to tread.

Why Central-Planning Won’t Work
 By Dr. Robert R. Owens
Failure to plan is planning to fail.  This truism has been a guiding light in my life and in the lives of countless others.  Without planning we would never accomplish much in life.  The haphazard serendipity of chance rarely adds up to a consistently positive result.  We all know people who seem like they can fall into a sewer and come up smelling like roses.  Most of us come up smelling like something quite different if we take the same fall.

Why The Left Must Destroy The Tea Party
 By Bob Parks
We hear more and more liberal politicians and pundits talk about the Tea Party as if they were murderous terrorists bent on destroying our nation as we know it. That tells you all we need to know, but not exactly why.

Corporate Welfare to Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment
 By Canadian Taxpayers Federation
Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Michael Chan was one of the featured speakers at this week’s announcement that Toronto will host the 2016 NBA All-Star Game. Apparently that’s one of the perks of being in charge of the province’s tourism ministry, aside from handing out giant cheques to special interest groups, you get to appear onstage with rap icons and basketball legends.

Sex in a Box comes to UK’s Channel 4
 By David C. Jennings
Channel 4 brought you day to day coverage of Ramadan this year along with broadcasts of the calls to prayer. Now, something that will presumably offend Muslims as well as others! Couples, gay & straight, having sex in an opaque cube on stage; then coming out to talk about it with psychologists in front of a studio audience.

No Permits Required for Possibly Dangerous CNE Turbine Promo Stair Climb (Trec)
 By Guest Column
The North American Platform Against Wind Power (NA-PAW) learned yesterday that no permit or licence is required by TREC (Toronto Renewable Energy Cooperative) and WindShare, to run their second annual stair climb of the promotional wind turbine at Exhibition Place.  Despite international calls for increased setbacks and safety re fires, blade throws, and other failures, and frightening levels of industrial accidents, more than any other energy production system, the CNE turbine climb organizers have been given “permission” by Toronto Hydro, to proceed with a possibly dangerous event.  Other wind turbines around the world and the province are heavily posted with warning signs for stray voltage, danger of turbine blade failure, to name a few of the precautions. NA-PAW is attempting to determine if a hazards assessment was done prior to the planning of this event. According to organizers, the facility is in production of electricity, not hydrogen, as designated by signs posted nearby.

Hassan Rouhani and the Spiritual Leader: A New Style of Negotiations
 By INSS
Within just a few short weeks, using a sophisticated, complex, low cost move, Hassan Rouhani, Iran’s new president, succeeded in changing the rules of the Iranian nuclear game. The change consists of two interdependent aspects: an historic breakthrough to direct dialogue with the United States at the very highest echelons, and the projection of a more moderate approach that can – according to Rouhani and the United States – resolve differences and lead to an agreement on the nuclear issue within a short time. The relationship between the US and Iranian presidents – so far manifested in written exchanges and one publicized Islamic Revolution, for the two nations’ leaders to discuss telephone call – could make it possible, for the first time since the 1979 disputed issues directly and attempt to resolve them.

IRAQ: Trusting God Amidst Escalating Violence
 By News on the Net
Source: VOMC Contact
The following is an urgent update received recently from Canon Andrew White: “I returned to Baghdad following a trip to the U.S. and Canada. Whilst the trip was very good…when I arrived, I found things the most desperate they have ever been. The violence and murders have ascended to such levels that scores of people are being killed each day…. Things are so awful, the Lord is our only hope.

Verbatim “Climate” Journalism
 By Alan Caruba
On September 27 I was reading my Wall Street Journal as usual when I turned the page to read the following headline: “U.N. Affirms Human Role in Global Warming.” There is no human role in global warming and there is no global warming. The Earth has been in a cooling cycle for the past seventeen years.

Public Schools “Celebrating” LGBT History Month
 By Liberty Counsel
Washington, DC - What are your kids studying in school today? Public schools from California to Florida are celebrating LGBT History Month, where they highlight a homosexual or lesbian each day. Today, America’s school children are learning about Edward-turned-Gwen Araujo, who was intimate with men who allegedly beat him when they discovered that he was not a woman.

Why Terrorists Kill
 By Daniel Greenfield
The Westgate attack in Kenya with its accompanying butchery of every man, woman and child in a shopping mall who couldn’t name Mohammed’s mother is being met with baffled mutterings about “senseless violence.”

Toward understanding the dangers of the fake marijuana called ‘Spice’ or ‘K2&#8217
 By American Chemical Society
Analytical Chemistry
The harmful effects of increasingly popular designer cannabis products called “Spice” or “K2” have puzzled scientists for years, but now a group of researchers is reporting progress toward understanding what makes them so toxic. The study, published in the ACS journal Analytical Chemistry, describes development of a method that could someday help physicians diagnose and treat the thousands of young adults and teens who end up in emergency rooms after taking the drugs.
