Mark Levin: Facts Show GOP Establishment 'Dumped All Over' Jolly

Republican Party leadership is celebrating this week's special election win by Florida Republican David Jolly, which kept the House seat in GOP hands and helped make a point that Obamacare is a key election issue in the fall.

But radio talk show host Mark Levin says party leadership is hypocritical. Prior to his unexpected win, party leaders were not so complimentary of Jolly in a story published by Politico last Friday, four days before polls opened.

National party officials thought Jolly was going to lose, so they went to Politico "and they dump all over this guy," Levin said Thursday on Fox News Channel's "Your World with Neil Cavuto."

Progressive racism and how it shapes public policy

The Left has been winning over the Right by spreading paranoia among the blacks about the hidden "racist" motivation of conservatives and Republicans. What will happen if the blacks find out that a major factor behind just about every "liberal" policy for the last 40 years has been the hidden racism of the white "progressive" Democrats?

Our comrade-in-arms Zombie is making a great point that may well tart a wave of reverse paranoia, if only the message is allowed to sink in.

While it's hard to imagine that racism is the only factor here - after all, socialist revolutions also happened in ethnically homogeneous societies - it's also obvious that that racism is adding a unique appearance to the American brand of progressivism.

Let's hope this insightful piece gets the attention it deserves. If anything, it can improve conservative messaging and help the Republicans deliver more effective counter-punches.

Professor Calls For Climate Change ‘Deniers’ To Be Imprisoned

A professor with Rochester Institute of Technology has called for the incarceration of any American who actively disagrees that climate change is solely caused by human activity.

Lawrence Torcello, a philosophy professor with a Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo, published the comments as part of an essay submitted to the academic website The Conversation.

Torcello argues that malignant individuals, who he does not identify, are collectively organising a “campaign funding misinformation” about climate change. Torcello goes on to suggest that such activity “ought to be considered criminally negligent.”

The End of Property Rights

New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez was a regular customer of Santa Fe hair stylist Antonio Darden. About two years ago, Darden decided that he would no longer accept the Governor as a client because of her public support for the conventional definition of marriage as a monogamous, heterosexual arrangement. This was a perfectly legitimate exercise of Daren’s absolute property right as the owner of his business.

Six years earlier, New Mexico resident Elaine Huguenin, who runs a photography business, declined a request to photograph a commitment ceremony between two women. In doing so, Mrs. Huguenin broke no contract, violated no promise, and didn’t defraud anybody.

Like Darden, Mrs. Huguenin exercised her absolute property right as a business owner, which includes the unqualified freedom to accept or reject clients at her sole discretion. Darden was publicly praised for his decision. Huguenin was prosecuted.

Marijuana Study In Veterans Wins Federal Backing

The federal government has signed off on a long-delayed study looking at marijuana as a treatment for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, a development that drug researchers are hailing as a major shift in U.S. policy.

The Department of Health and Human Services' decision surprised marijuana advocates who have struggled for decades to secure federal approval for research into the drug's medical uses.

The proposal from the University of Arizona was long ago cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, but researchers had been unable to purchase marijuana from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The agency's Mississippi research farm is the only federally-sanctioned source of the drug.

Rep. Bill Johnson: Obamacare's 'Broken Promises' Hurt Seniors

Older Americans are bearing the brunt of President Obama's "broken promises" on healthcare — paying more and getting less because of the Affordable Care Act, Ohio Rep. Bill Johnson charged Saturday in the GOP weekly address.

Johnson said seniors who rely on the popular Medicare Advantage are getting hammered because of Obamacare, forced to shell out "higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs," and in many cases, losing access to their regular doctors.

"If the president won’t help us repeal this law in its entirety, he ought to step up here, do the right thing, and protect our seniors," Johnson urged. "And he ought to do this soon."

St. Patrick Biography

Synopsis

Born in England arguably in the late 4th century A.D., St. Patrick was captured by pirates as a child and brought to Ireland. During his enslavement, he was called to Christianity and escaped his captors after six years. He returned to Ireland as a missionary, and in his teachings, combined Irish pagan beliefs with Christian sacrament, devising the Celtic Cross. He is annually honored on March 17.

Early Life

St. Patrick, apostle of Ireland, was born in England circa 385. His father, Calphurnius, was a deacon from a Roman family of high social standing. His mother, Conchessa, was a close relative of the great patron St. Martin of Tours. St. Patrick's grandfather, Pontius, was also a member of the clergy. Surprisingly, St. Patrick himself was not raised with a strong emphasis on religion. Education was not particularly stressed during his childhood either. Later in life, this would become a source of embarrassment for St. Patrick, who in the early 440s, would write in his Confessio, "I blush and fear exceedingly to reveal my lack of education."

When St. Patrick was 16 years old, he was captured by Irish pirates. They brought him to Ireland where he was sold into slavery in Dalriada. There, his job was to tend sheep. Saint Patrick's master, Milchu, was a high priest of Druidism, a Pagan sect that ruled religious influence over Ireland at the time.

Troopers Investigate a Train versus Vehicle Crash, Ellendale


Location: Main Street at Railroad Avenue, Ellendale, DE

Date of Occurrence: Monday March 17, 2014 at 1:30 p.m.

Operator and Vehicle Information:

Operator #1: Brandon A. Rudy, 35, Vienna, VA
Vehicle #1: 2013 Subaru Impreza

Vehicle #2: Norfolk Southern Locomotive (3 engines pulling 22 cars)

Resume:
Ellendale, DE- The Delaware State Police are investigating an early afternoon crash that involved a train and a car.

The incident occurred around 1:30 p.m. as Brandon A. Rudy was operating a 2013 Subaru Impreza eastbound on Main Street approaching the railroad tracks near Railroad Avenue. Rudy failed to stop for the crossing signal and entered into the path of a southbound Norfolk Southern train with three engines and 22 cars attached. The train struck the Impreza on the driver's side causing the vehicle to spin counter-clockwise and come to a stop on the east side of the tracks. The locomotive and its cars were able to come to a stop without derailment just south of Main Street.

Brandon Rudy, who was properly restrained, was partially entrapped in the vehicle and was extricated by Ellendale Volunteer Fire Company before being transported to Milford Memorial Hospital. He was later transferred to Christiana Medical Center where he is currently admitted in critical by stable condition.

None of the personnel on the train were injured in the collision.

Troopers are continuing their investigation into this incident. Traffic on Main Street was diverted to side streets for approximately an hour and a half as the crash was investigated and cleared.

CIA NEVER CONDUCTED OWN INVESTIGATION OF BENGHAZI TERRORIST ATTACK

CIA personnel who were on the ground when the September 11, 2012 attack on the Benghazi consulate took place are "outraged" to learn the "CIA's Inspector General never conducted an investigation into what happened."

Although many in the CIA thought "an investigation was in the works," such was "not the case."

According to Fox News, a source close to the issue said, "They should be doing an investigation to see what the chief of base in Benghazi and station chief in Tripoli did that night. If they did, they'd find out there were some major mistakes."

NRP Arrests Four Watermen with Help from State Police Helicopter

Using a State Police helicopter as a surveillance platform, the Maryland Natural Resources Police caught four watermen last Friday harvesting oysters from a protected area in Somerset County.

The watermen, aboard three commercial boats, were charged with removing oysters from the Evans Harvest Reserve, a remote 69-acre site at the mouth of the Wicomico River and Tangier Sound.

“Our ongoing partnership with the Maryland State Police expands our patrol capabilities to more effectively deploy our resources. In this case, the helicopter allowed us to track the vessels as they worked in the reserve and keep them in sight until additional assistance arrived,” said Col. George F. Johnson IV, NRP superintendent. “We want to thank State Police Aviation for helping us protect Maryland’s bounty.”

Guinness pulls out of NY's St. Patrick's parade over ban on gays

BOSTON (Reuters) - Irish brewer Guinness said on Sunday that it would not participate in New York City's St. Patrick's Day parade this year because gay and lesbian groups had been excluded, costing organizers a key sponsor of the annual event.

The move came on the same day that Boston's Irish-American mayor skipped that city's St. Patrick's Day parade after failing to hammer out a deal with organizers to allow a group of gay and lesbian activists to march openly.
