A few of you may have caught the interview on ( sorry ) ABC with Democratic Senator Bob Menendez during that interview they failed to ask the good senator about his fondness for under aged Dominican girls. The story broke months ago but was largely ignored or suppressed until after the election including the story that the good senator had working in his office an ILLEGAL ALIEN sex offender that the obama administration attempted to keep under wraps until after the election. I don't see what the problem was as the democrats have no difficulty in electing convicted felons .... impeached judges, dopers and other ner do wells. In fact a convicted child molester is planning to run for the seat he had to give up back in the 90's when the charges against him came out .... a seat that was won by jessie jackson jr. until he resigned under an FBI investigation and questions concerning his sanity were raised. Well it turns out that the good senator is co sponsor of our newest amnesty bill. I thought well that's convenient for him he may not have to travel all the way to Thailand ...err sorry, the Dominican Republic for a little under aged love.

Can’t Make This Up… Dem Under Investigation in Underage Dominican Hooker Scandal – Leads Efforts to Ease Immigration Restraints
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, January 28, 2013, 12:37 PM
On Friday the news broke that the FBI has been investigating top Democratic Senator Bob Menendez for having sex with underage Dominican hookers.
Today we find out he’s on the “Gang of Eight” Senate immigration committee.
Liberals always have a problem with reality .... whats the old saying ...when seconds matter the police are just minutes away but liberals insist on living in the world not as it is but as they wish it where .....and dragging those of us who know better into their idiocy as well and the problem with arguing with idiots is they drag you down to their level ..... then they beat you with experience
I think its an idea whose time has come. Scott Walker emerged from a bitter fight over his successful efforts to limit union power more popular after surviving a re call election and with more votes than than in his initial election and not by just a few but an increase by several % points. He now presides over a state that now has a 125 million rainy day fund and a projected budget surplus of over 400 million. He authored a proposed tax cut in a state that before his election was looking at budget deficits as far as the eye could see. All this sprang from his effort to curb the unions reach and ability to pick the tax payers pockets. Why not Pa as well ?
The Keystone to Bringing Jobs Back to PA
Right-to-work legislation introduced in Pennsylvania
Six
GOP lawmakers on Tuesday introduced a proposal to make Pennsylvania,
the “Keystone State,” the nation’s 25th right-to-work state.
The legislation, which would end the longstanding practice of
forcing employees to join unions as a condition of work, has stalled
several times over the past decade. The bill’s sponsors say new laws in
Michigan and Indiana forced the state’s hand.
“The needs of our economy dictate that it must be adopted at some
point in time,” said state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe. “The victory of
right-to-work in Michigan and Indiana certainly thrust the spotlight on
it and made the General Assembly look it more seriously than the past.”
Pennsylvania is one of the most heavily unionized states in the country with more than 700,000 workers belonging to organized labor groups. That is nearly 100,000 more union members than in Michigan.
The advent of right-to-work in the traditionally labor-friendly
Midwest and Rust Belt has left policymakers scrambling to catch up,
said Nate Benefield, director of policy analysis at the free-market
Commonwealth Foundation.
“Indiana and Michigan are states that we directly compete with,” he
said. “We’re going to have to evolve to remain competitive and it’s
also a great opportunity for us to outcompete the northeast.”
If Pennsylvania passes right-to-work, it will be the first state to
do so in the northeast. That could give it an economic advantage over
neighboring New York and New Jersey, which lead the nation in union
membership as a percentage of the workforce, advocates of right to work
legislation said.
“We’re playing catch-up to Indiana and Michigan, but our immediate
neighbors, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland are even less competitive
than Pennsylvania is,” Benefield said. “I think right-to-work is a big
part to improving our business climate.”
Restricting the use of compulsory union dues also could deal a blow to union influence.
Indiana experienced a dramatic decline in union membership after
passing right-to-work in February. Nine percent of state workers
belonged to union in 2012, down from 11.3 percent in 2011, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Supporters of the legislation point out that Pennsylvania also saw
union membership drop and blamed this in part to a declining private
sector economy.
“We are sitting on all of these resources—natural gas, shale,
connection to the great lakes—but history has shown that we’re not
creating enough jobs to keep our young people here; they’re going to
right-to-work states to find jobs,” Metcalfe said. “The union status
quo attitude has hampered our ability to create jobs.”
Pennsylvania lost more than 300,000 net residents between 1990 and
2008. That is one of the worst rates in the country, according to the
state’s Commonwealth Foundation. Benefield said improving the overall economy could reinvigorate Pennsylvania’s unions.
“When you have right-to-work, you expect members to leave the union,
but when you bleed jobs because of a struggling economy, you bleed
union jobs, too,” Benefield said. “Right-to-work states have faster
economic growth, higher GDP, and higher job growth—those are good for
all workers in the long-term.”
The GOP will have one obstacle in getting right-to-work through,
however. Republican Gov. Tom Corbett said in December that he would not
pursue such legislation in 2013, adding that the state “lacked the political will.” Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder made similar statements earlier in his term before reversing himself during the lame duck session.
Metcalfe said he believes that Corbett will sign the legislation if it reaches his desk.
“Over the last two years he’s invested himself in very little. He
signed good legislation, but only because we’ve had good leadership in
the legislature,” Metcalfe said. “He hasn’t used the bully pulpit in
too many issues, so he’s leaving this to us as he does with most
issues.”
He was told this was unconstitutional but went ahead with it anyway
Court: Obama appointments are unconstitutional
Federal appeals court rules Obama recess appointments to labor board are unconstitutional
By Sam Hananel, Associated Press | Associated Press – 7 mins ago
WASHINGTON (AP) —
A federal appeals court has ruled that President Barack Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on a labor relations panel.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit says Obama did not have the power to make recess appointments last year to the National Labor Relations Board.
Obama claims he acted properly because the Senate was away for the holidays. But the court says the Senate technically stayed in session when lawmakers gaveled in and out every few days for so-called "pro forma" sessions.
GOP lawmakers used the tactic specifically to prevent Obama from
using his recess power to fill vacancies in an agency they claimed was
too pro-union.
The Obama administration is expected to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
Appeals court unanimously rebukes Obama on recess appointments
posted at 11:31 am on January 25, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
It took more than a year,
but a federal appeals court has finally caught up with Barack Obama and
his unilateral declaration of a Congressional recess. In an
embarrassing rebuke, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Obama violated the Constitution by making appointments while the Senate considered itself in session:
President Barack Obama violated
the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on a
labor relations panel, a federal appeals court panel ruled Friday.
A three-judge panel of the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said that Obama did not have the
power to make three recess appointments last year to the National Labor
Relations Board.
And as the AP also points out, the decision was unanimous … and embarrassing:
The unanimous decision is an embarrassing setback for
the president, who made the appointments after Senate Republicans spent
months blocking his choices for an agency they contended was biased in
favor of unions.
The ruling means that a full year of work from the NLRB will go down
the tubes, if the Supreme Court upholds this ruling. The three
appointments allowed the panel to form the quorum necessary to pass
decisions. Now every ruling made by the NLRB will be delegitimized as
soon as those harmed by the rulings take this into court. What a mess
— and an unnecessary mess at that:
The Obama administration is expected to appeal the
decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, but if it stands, it means hundreds
of decisions issued by the board over more than a year are invalid. It
also would leave the five-member labor board with just one validly
appointed member, effectively shutting it down. The board is allowed to
issue decisions only when it has at least three sitting members.
It wasn’t just the three appointments to the NLRB, either. Obama
appointed Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau, whose appointment ran out when the 112th Session of Congress
expired earlier this month. The appointment is being challenged in a
separate case but in the same circuit, which means we can expect a
similar ruling. Obama re-nominated Cordray to the post yesterday:
Four days into his second term, President Obama renewed a fight from his first term when he renominated Richard Cordray for head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
At a news conference this afternoon, Obama announced he was throwing
Cordray, the man currently serving in the post thanks to a recess
appointment, into the ring as his pick to direct the government-run
financial watchdog.
“He can’t stay on the job unless the Senate finally gives him the confirmation he deserves,” Obama said.
The court ruling gives Senate Republicans more than enough political
cover to proclaim Cordray’s nomination entirely inappropriate, and
start working to block it. And now that the Senate has resolved the
filibuster-reform fight with it largely intact, expect them to use it
on Cordray as best as they can.
What does it matter she asked. Well Ms.clinton why don't you ask the man who now sits in prison because he had the audacity to make a video that poked fun at mohammad. A punishment you preordained when you told the families this man would be punished before a single investigation had began. And now months later after the idiocy that this video caused these attacks have been repeatedly discounted and shown to have been lies, why does this man still sit in prison other than being a scapegoat for your failures . What does it matter now she wonders. Lord help us in 16 if she runs

Wilkes Barre is on something of a roll these days but I suspect they won't be bragging about it. Since the start of the new year the city of Wilkes Barre has averaged 1 murder every 5.66 days. If my math skills are up to snuff that means we are on pace to have 64 murders in the city this year.

N.Y. man arrested in W-B home invasion
By Bob Kalinowski (Staff Writer)
Published: January 11, 2011
Martin
WILKES-BARRE - Police have arrested a Queens, N.Y., man in connection with a
home invasion that occurred Saturday night at 115 Carey Ave.
City police charged Jamel Martin, 18, with criminal trespass and providing
false identification to law enforcement.
In arrest papers, police said Martin has a 36-page criminal rap sheet out of
New York.
Police said Martin showed up at the home around 8:30 p.m., started banging on
the door and yelled "let me the (expletive) in." Martin eventually kicked open
the door and entered the home, police said.
The resident, Janice Issac, who called police, was screaming for Martin to
leave, police said.
"Get out of here. You don't belong here," she told him.
Issac told police Martin is a foster brother of her boyfriend and is
forbidden from being in her residence.
Investigators said Martin provided police with a fake name and birthday, so
they planned to take him to the Kingston police station to be identified on
their LIVESCAN fingerprint system. On the way, police said Martin told police
the truth.
"Listen, my criminal history name is Jamel Martin," police said.
Martin also tried to negotiate with police about the charges he'd face,
police said.
"Hey, I didn't really kick in the door, but I kinda made my way in if you
know what I mean," Martin told the cops. "Does that make it less of a
charge?"
Martin was arraigned before on-duty Magisterial District Judge Donald
Whittaker.
Whittaker ordered Martin jailed in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility
in lieu of $75,000 cash bail
Well It seems Walter is in a wee bit of trouble and my personal opinion is " so what ". If the allegations turn out to be true to put it bluntly I really don't give a rats ass. Why ? Its pretty simple Walter took the fight to all the ticks, deadbeats, scam artists, entrenched go along to get along tax payer cheating bottom feeders and even in this instance ( if true ) was seeking to gore a few more of the right ox. In short he pissed off all the right people. I have described Walter affectionately as having all the charm and grace of a Rhino with piles and having failed charm school..... several times. I didn't vote for him for his polish or ability to work and play well with others. I wanted the bull in the china closet take no prisoners approach and he didn't disappoint. Some believe Walter spent to much time in front of the camera's. Well as we have seen here in Luzerne county the system was corrupt from top to bottom and the only place to be heard was in front of the camera's taking the case to the people of Luzerne county and it worked. So Walter if you read this you have my support.
Wiretap suit stuns controller
‘That’s just not something I do,’ he says of secretly recording conversations.
Luzerne County Controller Walter Griffith illegally recorded multiple conversations and supplied them to a grand jury investigating the Hotel Sterling’s nonprofit owner, CityVest, county District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said Monday.
CityVest board member Y. Judd Shoval filed a civil suit against Griffith in county court Monday over the wiretaps and privacy invasion, Salavantis said.
Salavantis said Griffith gave the grand jury recordings of Shoval, attorneys and others who were recorded without their knowledge or consent. She said she forwarded the investigation to the state Attorney General’s Office because it involves another elected county official.
Wiretap violations carry maximum sentences of seven years in prison for each illegal recording, she said.
Griffith denied any illegal recording.
I don't know for certain if he has arrived yet but its only a matter of time and how much heat the police in the city are able to levy. So if your driving by Sherman Hills anytime soon keep your eyes open.

I kid you not folks fast eddie see's this as a good thing for the liberal cause....well I guess they are not letting a crisis go to waste ....are they ?
Ed Rendell: 'Good Thing About Newtown Is It Was So Horrific'
I believe we have approached the gun issue from the wrong perspective. We have enacted law after law that restricts or inhibits all aspects of gun ownership, manufacture, transport and even in a very general sense who it is that can or cannot own guns all with limited success. Its time I believe for a radical new approach that strikes right at the heart of the problem and will affect those who it is who commit the overwhelming majority of both gun and non gun violence in this country.
Conservatives often point out that guns don't kill, people kill and even most liberals agree with that statement but will qualify that with but " if there were no guns people won't kill ". If one accepts the fact that guns don't kill without the human side of the equation i.e. someone to pull the trigger and then accepts that gun bans or restrictions generally have not worked then all that's left is the human side of the equation. We have in the past attempted to limit those who could or could not own or posses a firearm, restricting felons.... the insane ....children. Perhaps its time to expand that process to include democrats/liberal/progressive .
There is just no getting around the fact that most of our gun violence and violence in general is being committed by those groups which vote or support the democrat party. Ladies and gentleman I think its time we banish liberals/ democrats/progressives. I don't mean from gun ownership, I want an outright ban ....exile,banishment, as in old testament banishment. I think its the only solution that will in the end reduce the violence which has plagued this nation for decades. No lesser measure will work as they have shown time after time that a mere ban on guns will be subverted by those on the left by theft....straw purchases .....even using government agents to run their weapons across international borders to feed dopers in other nations to commit insane levels of mayhem and death. We here in the U.S. need only look to their communities to note that a great deal of the violence is fueled by the drug trade in inner city communities often spilling into the suburbs to kill children, old ladies, dogs postal employees, drug dealers, drug users, the blind, crippled and crazy. Its time ladies and gentleman for a sane common sense approach to violence, banish not the tool but those who use the tool ...BANISH THE DEMOCRAT/PROGRESSIVE/LIBERALS.... its for our children and our future.
For months before the election the democrats and a large part of their Flying Monkeys horde were screaming in outrage over the voter I.D. laws that have been passed in several states in an effort to fight voter fraud the democrats insist does not happen. With obama as president they also co - opted the Dept of Justice to run interference for them in order to 1 - slow or stop the implantation of said laws... 2 - whip the 47 % into a frenzy with claims that these laws were motivated by racism .... -that 90 % of the old folks could not get to the proper place to get the proper I.D..... and they implied that their base was to stupid to figure out how to get an I.D. I am willing to concede that most of their base are probably to stupid to figure it out but racism ....nah. This is the party that sees Klansman everywhere but their own party and racism in the word black hole so as far as I am concerned any determination to be made concerning racism should be left to adults. Now this ....watch for it on your nightly news as it made those programs on a regular basis before the election they might want to do the follow up and see how the furor is turning out. LOL just kidding folks ...you might see it on Fox I would also like to point out as you read the story who it was that decided to fight S.C. on this .... it wasn't career insiders it was obama's political appointies who made this choice.
A federal court has ruled that South Carolina was the prevailing party
in the unnecessary Voter ID litigation, and therefore the Justice
Department is liable for paying the state’s costs. South Carolina spent
$3,500,000 to obtain federal court approval of the state’s Voter ID law
as non-discriminatory under the Voting Rights Act. The lawsuit was made
necessary only because of the political and ideological radicalism of
Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez and his deputy Matthew Colangelo.
PJ Media had this exclusive report detailing
that career Voting Section employees, including Voting Section Chief
Chris Herren, recommended that the Voter ID law be approved in the
first place by DOJ after a careful written analysis inside the Voting
Section. Documents prepared by the career staff urged Perez and
Colangelo to grant administrative approval to the South Carolina Voter
ID law — but they refused. Their refusal was, in part, designed to
energize a moribund political base heading into the 2012 election. The
cost to the American taxpayers for their stunt will be significant
A little payback from time to time can be a good bit of fun. I don't know the players here and am making a WAG ( wild assed guess ) but I suspect that the folks who want this taught in public schools are liberals and by design or accidental genius someone decided that Yoga or perhaps this version has a religious base thus cannot be taught in public schools as we have been told by liberals for a very long time that there can be no God or at least no christian God within 1,608 feet or eye shot ( or which ever comes first ) of any of public school. Perhaps its 2 different groups of liberals cannibalizing each other. In any case, the worm has turned so to speak and it is likely that its the liberals turn to get beat with the lash they braided.
I'm not much of a God guy or at least I haven't been but I notice as I get older and at odd times over the course of my life and generally in times of moderate to extreme stress ( at the wheel of a 65 Chevy pick up right before a head on crash that I saw coming but had no where to run or hide or in mid flight off a 25 foot tall oil storage tank ....for example ) I have had conversations with all the deities I could quickly recall. These conversations generally went something like this ....hello God ....Jesus....Buddha ...Allah ....Hi this is Jim .... yea I know its been a while and I'm sorry about that .....Look I really hate to bother you but I have a situation developing here that I am pretty sure is really going to hurt can you help me out. As a rule they have put the fix in and I managed to walk or hobble away from all of said incidents mostly with injuries that given time and the proper relief from our modern pharmaceutical industry I have manged to weather quite nicely. Lately I have had conversations that have been driven or fueled less and less by terror or gravity and more by age. I guess as one gets older and comes closer to meeting them in person you tend to be more willing to strike up these conversations or at least I am.
Ashtanga Yoga Philosophy
describes a spiritual discipline or path that promotes harmony within
the individual self, and creates connection with a greater universal
Self or Reality.
Parents May Sue Over Yoga Lessons in Public Schools
Parents in a southern California community are considering legal action
over the constitutionality of a form of yoga being taught to their
children, which they claim is introducing religion into public schools.
Last month, half of the students attending classes in the
Encinitas Union School District K-6 elementary schools in San Diego
North County began taking Ashtanga (Sanskrit for "eight-limbed") yoga
for 30 minutes twice per week. In January, the other half will begin
the lessons.
Concerned parents have now retained constitutional first
amendment attorney Dean Broyles, who says that Ashtanga yoga is a
religious form of yoga, and that religious aspects have been introduced
into the schools.
"The poses and positions are acknowledged by Ashtanga and Hindi
yoga as forms of worship and prayers to Hindu deities," he told ABC
News. "They have a spiritual and religious meaning behind them."
When I saw this I thought that didn't take long I figured he's wait a month or 2 before beginning the whole " The rich aren't paying their fair share " routine again .... I was wrong. If someone can tell what the liberals figure is fair I would appreciate it because near as I can figure they don't even seem to know and its become a desert mirage ....always just out of reach or just a little bit higher. Anyway I hope all of you who still have a job enjoy the tax increase obama just gave to every working American.
President Obama cut a video, distributed by his reelection, to reiterate his belief that the wealthiest Americans still aren’t paying their “fair share” of taxes and to outline a second-term agenda ranging from environmental policy to gun control.
Obama started by celebrating the tax increases — “making our tax code more progressive than it’s been in decades,” he said — that will take place because of the fiscal cliff deal.
“Obviously, there is still more to do when it comes to reducing our debt,” Obama said in the video. “And I’m willing to do more, as long as we do it in a balanced way that doesn’t put all the burden on seniors or students or middle class families, but also asks the wealthiest Americans to contribute and pay their fair share.”
I often infuriate our local liberals when I tell them that if they are truly serious about reducing gun crime, murders and crime overall then they need to self deport. No , I'm not kidding anyway you slice it those geographic locations and groups which support or vote democrat is where most of our crime and our prison population comes from. Most of our crime germinates from urban areas, the larger cities and the cities with very few exceptions vote democrat red state or blue state this stands to be true. Below I have posted some data from the Bureau of Justice website which will illustrate my point. I used the murder numbers as it tends to grab attention far better than the numbers for burglary or other crime categories and also has the added advantage of demonstrating that while the democrats favor gun control it is democrats or their supporters which are committing the vast majority of gun related and violent crime in the U.S. and that is something I find as amusing as hell. If one looks at all crime related figures elsewhere on the B of J website they are equally damming.Take an especially close look at the felony murder rates.
The figures in the chart below are somewhat misleading concerning the white category as all hispanic crime numbers all rolled into this category. This inflates the the numbers for whites and largely eliminates hispanic crime numbers as most studies use these numbers as their base. So always keep that in mind that when crime % and the like are quoted if they rely on the B of J or the FBI numbers you are likely getting an incomplete picture. I have had several heated arguments concerning this and most often those with whom I am arguing insist that hispanic crime numbers are included in the category " other ". I then point out the gang related murder numbers and ask if they honestly believe that the category white is responsible for 54 % plus of gang related homicides every year. Another thing to keep in mind and to help understand the below chart is the overall % each group is of the general population. It breaks down something close to this ...white 65 %... black 12 - 13 % .... hispanic 16 - 18 % .....other ( asians native American ...etc ) 3 - 5 % . If the hispanic murder rate is just at the rate they are represented in the general population 16 - 18 % then Houston we have a problem as that means that 80 % of our murders are being committed by our minority populations which are overwhelmingly democrat. The long and short of it is if you wish to live in a crime free safe area stay away from those areas run by and populated largely by democrats.
