Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) slammed House Republicans for holding "empty, symbolic" votes to repeal ObamaCare instead of forcing the law's demise with tougher tactics.
Speaking at the Heritage Foundation on Tuesday, Cruz touted his plan to threaten a government shutdown in September until President Obama agrees to defund the healthcare law.
The freshman senator said he was frustrated by the House's nearly 40 attempts to thwart the Affordable Care Act, saying the votes made for "ideal politics" but were "largely symbolic with no chance of passage."

Newspaper Spanks Obama: 'Shove It, Mr. President'
“Take your jobs plan and shove it, Mr. President: Your policies have harmed Chattanooga enough,” said a commentary in the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
“Forgive us if you are not greeted with the same level of Southern hospitality that our area usually bestows on its distinguished guests. You see, we understand you are in town to share your umpteenth different job creation plan during your time in office. If it works as well as your other job creation programs, then thanks, but no thanks. We’d prefer you keep it to yourself,” the newspaper said.

Vanishing Ocean City With Bunk Mann

| Photo by Richard Miller |
Norman began walking the Boardwalk in the mid-1960s and became a regular sight with his huge boom box on his shoulder. He began dressing like Elvis Presley in the 1970s and changed from boom box to cassette player to kazoo. Norman became so popular that people sought his autograph and posed with him for photos. Postcards of him as “Boardwalk Elvis” were sold in local gift shops.
Norman retired from his Boardwalk strolls several years ago and now is seen riding his customized “Elvis” bicycle around Ocean Pines or attending Ocean City events such as Sunfest. He rarely wears a costume today -- he usually dressed in a suit and a tie -- but still answers to the name of “Boardwalk Elvis.”

Sarah Palin: “I Was Forbidden From Telling The Truth About Obama In 2008″
So, if there was a time to do it, it was in 2008 and the best person to do it was the Vice-Presidential candidate because she had the juice to make people pay attention. Unfortunately, Sarah Palin says the McCain campaign didn’t want to get its hands dirty.
In this sneak peek clip of the special, Greta talks to Sarah Palin who exposes that in her 2008 vice presidential run, she was forbidden from talking about Obama’s relationships with both Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers, as well as his job experience.
“I was not allowed to talk about things like that because those ‘elitists,’ those who are the brainiacs in the GOP machine, running John McCain’s campaign at the time said that the media would eat us alive if we brought up these things.”
People Sign Petition for “Mandatory Euthanasia” for Senior Citizens Under ObamaCare
And so it continues from Mr Dice, another example from the 51% who agree with the imperial regimes agenda to keep healthcare costs down by putting senior citizens to sleep!
Here’s a thought: do you think any of these people realize that they will one day be that person being subjected to “mandatory euthanasia”?! No, liberal drones never think about future ramifications from their immediate actions like signing a petition, they act on the here and now.
Some of the people signing this petition are completely cold & heartless: “I agree with that”

Court: Bloomberg's NYC Ban on Big Sodas Is Unconstitutional
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's controversial plan to keep large sugary drinks out of restaurants and other eateries was rejected by a state appeals court on Tuesday, which said he had overstepped his authority in trying to impose the ban.
The law, which would have prohibited those businesses from selling sodas and other sugary beverages larger than 16 ounces, "violated the state principle of separation of powers," the First Department of the state Supreme Court's Appellate Division said.
The decision, upholding a lower court ruling in March that struck down the law, dealt a blow to Bloomberg's attempt to advance the pioneering regulation as a way to combat obesity. Beverage makers and business groups, however, challenged it in court, arguing that the mayoral-appointed health board had gone too far when it approved the law.

Why American Racism Is Impossible To Defeat
Despite all of the genuine hopes, by millions of people, of every tribe and tongue from every corner of this planet, an excruciatingly sad reality is being made perfectly clear.
The issue of race--and more specifically America's brand of racism--will never be defeated.
As the father of a multi-racial family, this reality strikes at the disappointment my soul feels about many things in our nation today, but none more personal.
Some who see the headline to this piece will immediately assume I've taken a position in this fight. Because I merely observe what is evident, and state my observation publicly. Some whites will believe I am attacking them. Many African-Americans will believe I am championing their grievances. The truth is neither, the truth is both, and the truth will never be admitted.
For it is impossible to cure a societal sickness, when parties don't wish for it to be cured!

FBI To Rand Paul: Domestic Drone Surveillance Doesn’t Require A Warrant
“[T]he FBI does not, and has no plans to use [unmanned aerial vehicles] to conduct general surveillance not related to a specific investigation or assessment,” Stephan Kelly, the assistant director at the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs, wrote Paul.
Kelly said that UAVs, or drones, have only been used for surveillance in the United States 10 times since 2006, in cases related to “kidnappings, search and rescue operations, drug interdictions, and fugitive investigations.”

Unemployment Rates Rise In 90 Percent Of US Cities
Unemployment rates rose in nearly all large U.S. cities in June as college graduates and many of those still in school began searching for jobs.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that unemployment rates rose in 347 large metro areas in June compared with the previous month. They fell in 12 and were unchanged in 13. In May, rates fell in 109 cities and rose in 243.
Unlike the national figures, the metro unemployment data are not adjusted for such seasonal changes. Many of the cities with significant rate increases have large universities where students graduated in June and began looking for work. And many university workers are temporarily unemployed in the summer when the academic year ends.

Global Warming: It’s Happening Again
Senator Boxer recently held a hearing entitled, “Climate Change: It’s Happening Now.” To honor historic truth, the title “It’s Happening Again” would have suited better.
Heidi Cullen, formerly the alarmist voice at the Weather Channel, was one of Boxer’s key witnesses. In her testimony, Dr. Cullen said that “heavy downpours” have increased by 73 percent over recent decades due to global warming. The U.S. Geological Survey data show no such increase over the past 60 years, though there may have been some increase in rainfall variability. She once was too good a scientist to make a misstatement such as that.
In fact, her side has not been able to give her much alarmist ammunition beyond the never-verified and now-failing computer models. At one point, Senator Vitter (R-LA) asked the panel of experts “Can any witnesses say they agree with Obama’s statement that warming has accelerated during the past 10 years?” After a deafening silence, Dr. Cullen said our focus should be on longer time-periods, rather than the ten years mentioned by Obama. When pressed, however, she admitted that global warming has slowed, not accelerated.
Dr. Cullen knows about longer climate cycling. She is an expert on the long, natural 1,500-year climate cycle that gave us the Little Ice Age, the Medieval Warming, and more than 600 previous warming/cooling cycles over the past 1 million years.

Should There Be Choking Warning Labels On Food?
"We have done a great job in this country (of) preventing choking in children on toys, “says Dr. Gary Smith, co-author of a new study on choking injuries and a professor of pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. “Since the 1990s we've had laws and regulations, systems where we can monitor these injuries when they happen. We have no such systems in place currently for food."
The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, reviewed thousands of statistics on children who had choking-related emergency room visits between 2001 to 2009. The study authors found that an average of 12,400 children under the age of 15 were treated for non-fatal, food-related choking each year, which equals about 34 children per day.

Bradley Manning: Acquitted Of Aiding The Enemy
FORT MEADE, Md. — U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning was acquitted of aiding the enemy — the most serious charge he faced — but was convicted of espionage, theft and other charges Tuesday, more than three years after he spilled secrets to WikiLeaks.
The judge, Army Col. Denise Lind, deliberated for about 16 hours over three days before reaching her decision in a case that drew worldwide attention as supporters hailed Manning as a whistleblower. The U.S. government called him an anarchist computer hacker and attention-seeking traitor.

Obamacare's Cost Of Control
There is a strong push currently being made by advocates of Obamacare to convince Americans it is the best thing that has ever happened to this country. Even celebrities are being trotted out by the White House to tell us how lucky we are to be forced into a system that is both built on promises that were never intended to be kept, and one that is ethically and morally bankrupt that they, members of Congress and other cronies of the elite will never have to use.
The truth about Obamacare that no one will tell you is it is NOT about healthcare it is about centralized government control:
1. It is about control of 1/6 of the economy.
All working Americans will have to either submit proof of insurance or enter an exchange. In order to be compliant an individual who enters the exchange will have to submit their tax return, their social security number, their employers tax ID, banking account information, their address, and telephone number. The information is kept on file for several years. If employment changes the following year and a person ends up making more money and pricing out of the government supplement, an individual will have to pay the government back. Say goodbye to the tax return and say hello to the incentive to work as little as possible in order to be eligible for government assistance.

Obama Low-Balls Keystone Job Creation Numbers, According To State Department
President Obama believes there is “no evidence” that the Keystone XL pipeline project “will be a big jobs generator,” but the statistics he cited as “most realistic” are far lower than the State Department’s projections about the pipeline’s impact on the economy.
“A president disparaging private-sector jobs while backstage at a jobs rally is beyond belief,” House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., said in a statement. “The president’s own State Department reported that Keystone would support upwards of 40,000 jobs. In this economy, any source of private job creation should be welcomed with open arms. After nearly 5 years and 15,500 pages of review, there is no reason to delay these jobs another day. Republicans, Democrats, leading unions, and job creators all agree, it’s time to start building.”
Obama pooh-poohed Keystone when asked if he thought it would be a “big jobs generator” by the New York Times last week. “Republicans have said that this would be a big jobs generator,” Obama said in the interview. “There is no evidence that that’s true. The most realistic estimates are this might create maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline, which might take a year or two, and then after that we’re talking about somewhere between 50 and 100 jobs in an economy of 150 million working people.”

Three Week Detour Between Mill Street And Park Avenue To Begin July 31st
***TRAFFIC ADVISORY***
STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION BEGINS NEXT PHASE OF ISABELLA STREET DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT
Three Week Detour between Mill Street and Park Avenue to Begin July 31st (July 29, 2013) – As part of Salisbury Public Works ongoing effort to keep you informed of improvements within the City of Salisbury, the State Highway Administration (SHA) will begin the next phase of drainage improvement work in Salisbury with the 24-hour closure and detour of a one-block section of Isabella Street on Wednesday, July 31. All traffic on Isabella Street will be prohibited between Mill Street and Park Avenue. The round-the-clock detour will remain in effect for three weeks until Thursday, August 22, weather permitting.
The temporary road closure will allow the contractor to install both a new water main and new storm drain along Isabella Street. Residents and business patrons will have access to Isabella and Mill streets through the following detour: westbound on Isabella Street to US 50 Business (East Salisbury Parkway) to Division Street and then return to Mill Street. Motorists traveling eastbound Isabella Street will take the same detour in the opposite direction.
SHA will use detour signs, cones and barrels to guide motorists through the work zone.
This section of work is part of drainage improvements along streets in the Newtown Neighborhood. The second phase of the project includes installing new drainage pipes along both sides of US 13 Business north of London Avenue. The entire project is scheduled for completion by fall 2014.
Are We Investing Or Are We Just Dodging Thieves?
The individual with complete control of all his assets is the only truly wealthy person in a kleptocracy.
Correspondent Jeff W. recently posed a deeply insightful question: are we investing or are we really just trying to dodge thieves?
This question slices right through the carefully cultivated illusion of trust and prosperity and plunges straight into the heart of our cartel-state financial system.
Here are Jeff's initial thoughts on the question:
"As we try to preserve capital and earn a return on it, are we investing today or are we really just trying to dodge thieves?
First of all I question how much real investing is going on in America today. We continue to lose manufacturing in this country, so in manufacturing, disinvestment is what is going on. People speak of investing in houses, but today’s McMansions, if you look at how they are built, do not qualify as long-term investments. They are built more to allow their owners to participate in a real estate asset bubble rather than to live in and enjoy for generations (which is the purpose houses would be built for in a sane and honest world).
Investments in strip malls and big-box stores do not increase the wealth of the nation. When you have enough retailing, it is enough. You don’t need any more. Adding more retail space is malinvestment. A lot of retail space that is being added now will have to close down if The Federal Reserve ever starts tapering in a serious way.
So there is reason to suspect that not very much productive investment is really taking place in American at all. Regardless of that, investors still have to dodge the ubiquitous thieves who are swarming all over the landscape.

Beer By Beer, Houston Home Morphs Into Landmark
HOUSTON (AP) -- A child of the Great Depression, John Milkovisch didn't throw anything away -- not even the empty cans of beer he enjoyed each afternoon with his wife.So, in the early 1970s when aluminum siding on houses wasall the rage, he lugged down the cans he had stored in his attic for years, painstakingly cut open and flattened each one and began to wallpaper his home.
"The funny thing is that it wasn't ... to attract attention," said Ruben Guevara, head of restoration and preservation of the Beer Can House in Houston's Memorial Park area. "He said himself that if there was a house similar to this a block away, he wouldn't take the time to go look at it. He had no idea what was the fascination about what he was doing."

Former Alabama Cop Claims He Was Fired After Blowing Whistle On Ticket Quotas
A former Alabama police officer claims he was fired after complaining about a ticket quota, but city officials say the “unfounded accusation” is damaging the entire department.
Justin Hanners, a 30-year-old father of two, claims the Auburn Police Department began instructing its officers as early as 2010 to make 100 contacts per month, with those interactions divided among warnings, tickets, arrest and field interviews. Hanners, a six-year department veteran who was fired in March, said he has audio recordings to prove his claims.
“I stressed a moral objection to the quota,” Hanners told FoxNews.com. “I was then told I wouldn’t get promoted, I would get bad evaluations and ultimately I would be fired.”

Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.
No NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservatives are involved.
Conclusion: It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns. Best idea I've seen.

Top 5 Hillary Gaffes You Won't See in Upcoming Clinton Miniseries
NBC will produce a miniseries based on the political career of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a project sure to polish her 2016 presidential aspirations. NBC's programming is consistently left of center, and Bob Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment chairman, donated thousands to Clinton's failed 2008 presidential bid.
Just casting the gorgeous Diane Lane in the lead role is bias enough.
The project will likely sugarcoat the Whitewater investigation, HillaryCare and TravelGate, but here's betting the following five moments get left on the cutting room floor.

OBAMA HO CHI MINH COMMENT ECHOES KGB 'DISINFORMATION'
When President Obama said Ho Chi Minh – the North Vietnamese communist revolutionary who led the war effort against the U.S. that cost almost 60,000 American lives – was a fan of the U.S. Constitution and Thomas Jefferson, he was echoing what an influential new book calls one of the most deadly communist disinformation campaigns in American history.
During a White House meeting with Vietnam’s President Truong Tan Sang last Thursday, Obama said he and Sang “discussed the fact that Ho Chi Minh was actually inspired by the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and the words of Thomas Jefferson.”

Where Public High School Costs $600, Including A Mandatory Chromebook
It’s not unusual to see public schools that charge students for extracurriculars or sports, but we were surprised to see this bill from an Illinois school district where it costs $586 to enroll in tenth grade, including $300 for a Chromebook.
Obama Erases Campaign Promises From Election Website
President Transparency, in the interest of protecting his Administration’s spotless record of least transparent ever, has decided to erase sections of his original campaign website so that inconvenient and broken promises (ie, every single thing he said) can’t be so easily exposed. Although clearly no one goes to the campaign site for groundbreaking news, it had served as a useful platform to compare candidate Obama to the George W. Bush clone he has become as President. From Policy Mic:
In a recent blog post by the Sunlight Foundation, the watchdog organization curiously notes how the Obama administration has removed previously available content from then candidate Obama’s famous 2008 campaign platform, Change.gov. While the site has long since served as a landing page to redirect traffic towards the now President Obama’s whitehouse.gov, the content of the website, particularly the materials and agenda pages, has always been accessible. However, very recently, access to such information is now no longer supported through the site and appears to have been “scrubbed” off the internet (of course, you can still access archived forms of the aforementioned pages).

WAFFLE HOUSE ARMED ROBBER GETS THE SURPRISE OF A LIFETIME WHEN CUSTOMER DECIDES TO FIGHT BACK WITH A GUN
An Atlanta crook picked the wrong Waffle House to target early Monday morning. That’s because when the bandana and hoodie-wearing bandit walked into the restaurant and pointed a gun at patrons, one of them reached for his gun and fired back.
Police say the suspect entered the Waffle House in south Fulton County just before 2 am, brandishing a pistol and demanding money.
“Nobody move and open the cash register,” the suspect, 20-year-old Ashton Macafee, allegedly said according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC).
What he didn’t know was that seated together at a booth were off-duty Atlanta police officer Jonathan Sutton and his friend, off-duty security guard Evans Chad Pollard.

The Fate Of Army Pvt. Bradley Manning Decided Today
After a long trial, a military judge will announce her decision on the fate of Army Pvt. Bradley Manning this afternoon. Manning is charged with leaking secret military and State Department documents to the WikiLeaks website in 2010. At the time, he was working in what the Army calls a tactical-sensitive, compartmented information facility near Baghdad. Manning already pleaded guilty to 10 charges that will put him in prison for up to 20 years. If convicted on 11 other charges, he could face life in prison for aiding the enemy. The court martial judge is Col. Denise Lind. Manning chose a single judge instead of a panel.
Arkansas School District Arming More Than 20 Teachers, Staff
CLARKSVILLE, Ark. – As Cheyne Dougan rounded the corner at Clarksville High School, he saw three students on the floor moaning and crying. In a split-second, two more ran out of a nearby classroom.
"He's got a gun," one of them shouted as Dougan approached with his pistol drawn. Inside, he found one student holding another at gunpoint. Dougan aimed and fired three rounds at the gunman.

WHY THE MSM IS WORTHLESS & CORRUPT
People sometimes ask me why the media are so obtuse, why they seem to have so little grasp of the country they live in, and why the internet is eating them alive.
I ask them to think of Tom Clancy. He wrote a book that with its children would be worth many, many millions of dollars, and shopped it around the publishing houses of New York. They all bounced it. No interest. It probably got no further than a first reader, a recent co-ed at Barnard who thought a submarine was a sandwich. Clancy? Some crackpot who thinks he can write.
He sent it to the Naval Institute Press, which published it. It took off hugely. Only then did New York get involved.
You might ask: Why did the sophisticated (one would think) professionals of publishing, highly intelligent, very educated, with long years in the book racket—why did they not grab at The Hunt for Red October? Certainly it wasn´t a conspiracy. Nobody conspires not to make money.
The answer: They live in a bubble. They eat together, drink together, talk to each other. They think in unison. They largely went to the same schools, Ivies. They could all join Mensa if they wanted, but they don´t, because in New York you don´t have to hunt for smart company. They all know who Zola was. They can tell Goya from El Greco at a glance.

KEY POINT: "... the latest effort to address greenhouse gas emissions in Maryland — an ambitious plan released last week by Gov. Martin O'Malley — ought to be required reading, particularly by those who dismiss such efforts as too costly or unnecessary. ...Naysayers may remain skeptical, but Maryland has already taken substantial action to reduce the state's climate change footprint. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative has used an emissions cap-and-trade system to invest millions in energy efficiency, clean energy technology and other consumer benefits, and the Clean Cars Program has reduced tailpipe emissions (and raised fuel efficiency standards) — both examples of progress that has already been made without harm to the economy."
Maryland's climate opportunity
Our view: Gov. O'Malley's road map for aggressively reducing greenhouse gas emissions offers a chance for the state's economy to bloom along with the environment.

IRS Employee Union: We Don’t Want Obamacare
IRS employees have a prominent role in Obamacare, but their union wants no part of the law.
National Treasury Employees Union officials are urging members to write their congressional representatives in opposition to receiving coverage through President Obama’s health care law.
The union leaders are providing members with a form letter to send to the congressmen that says “I am very concerned about legislation that has been introduced by Congressman Dave Camp to push federal employees out of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and into the insurance exchanges established under the Affordable Care Act.”
The NTEU represents 150,000 federal employees overall, including most of the nearly 100,000 IRS workers.

FDA Finally Realizes Maybe It’s Time To Do A Better Job Of Improving The Safety Of Imported Foods
Perhaps your kitchen is only stocked with locally sourced organic food, but around 15% of what Americans eat — including half the fresh fruit, one-fifth of fresh veggies and 80% of fish — comes from around 150 different countries. So, finally getting around to implementing changes mandated by the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the Food and Drug Administration has proposed a couple rules aimed at beefing up controls on imported edibles.
The first major rule change proposed by the FDA gives U.S. food importers guidelines for verifying that their suppliers’ food meets U.S. food safety requirements. Importers would be required to identify the specific hazards associated with each type of food they bring in and take proactive measures to minimize these risks.

Conservatives Should Be More Racially Sensitive
Like it or not, the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin story has triggered a national conversation about race. President Obama waded into the controversy with much-hyped remarks on the incident July 19, which provoked a harsh reaction from some conservatives. I’m inclined to agree with the Daily Beast’s Kirsten Powers that this reaction is indicative of why Republican outreach efforts to minority groups are unlikely to succeed.
The problem, I think, is not widespread racism, but enough examples of racial insensitivity to create the impression that conservatives don’t care about the African American community.
If somebody is going to criticize anything about Obama’s speech, I could see how one might argue it was fluff that tried to assuage both sides without saying much. But personally, as I said at the time, I thought he struck the right tone. And I don’t get the accusation that Obama was engaging in race-baiting.

Navy To Attempt To Un-Bomb Area It Bombed Accidentally
The Navy is trying something novel. It will attempt to un-bomb an area it bombed by accident. Earlier this month, two Navy AV-8B Harrier jets jettisoned four bombs into the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park off the northeast coast of Australia. The bombs did not explode and missed the barrier reef itself. The Seventh Fleet will lead the effort for what it calls the ordnance retrieval mission. Navy officials say they're committed to reversing any adverse environmental impacts the bombs have caused. The flights were part of joint training exercises with the Australian military called Talisman Saber 2013. The training takes place every two years. Navy officials say that until they are recovered, there is virtually no chance of the bombs detonating.
