MORE ON THAT ATF GUN-SMUGGLING DEBACLE
Instapundit » Blog Archive » MORE ON THAT ATF GUN-SMUGGLING DEBACLE: Mega-Scandal: Was ‘Gunwalker’ a PR Op for Gun Control?
“Buckle up:
An agent testifies that surveillance stopped at the border, meaning the operation didn’t actually trace guns to cartels to make arrests.
The only conclusion?
Law enforcement wasn’t the point, orchestrated violence was, and that’s a history-making scandal. . . .
At the same time they were damning gun dealers in public, the administration was secretly forcing them to provide weapons to the cartels, by the armful and without oversight.”
Well, people are calling it worse than Iran-Contra.
Also, Michael Walsh bears down on this scandal in the Post.
“Fast and Furious was supposed to prove the theory.
That is, the administration ‘knew’ who the bad guys were — legitimate gun dealers in the Southwest — and set out to make them the heavies in a phony sting operation.”"

Abysmal Graduation Rate Puts Chicago State Accrediation at Risk
Abysmal Graduation Rate Puts Chicago State Accrediation at Risk : Chicagoist
"The state of Illinois may want to put a hold on the magical $40 million it granted to Chicago State University last month for a new West Side campus. According to the Tribune,
'Chicago State University is at risk of losing its accreditation because of 'remarkably poor' graduation and retention rates, as well as tumultuous leadership and finances, according to the region's accrediting agency.
'In a letter obtained by the Tribune, the Higher Learning Commission cites several 'grave' concerns regarding the future of the South Side school that serves roughly 6,800 students. The most pressing problems derive from managing enrollment, but other issues include a reduction in student financial assistance that led to dropouts and delayed approval of budgets.'
CSU's graduation rate - 12.8 percent over six years - makes the city's public high schools look downright wonderful"

"What are the consequences of living in the last of the one-party machine towns, a town that has hosted the Daley family as well as being the hometown of Barack Obama and the cronies he put in power (including Bill Daley, his Chief of Staff)?
Politicians who have no problem imposing the highest gas prices in America on their citizens."

More regulations: EPA's fantasy solution to unemployment
More regulations: EPA's fantasy solution to unemployment Examiner Editorial Opinion Washington Examiner: "American Electric Power Chairman Michael Morris announced last week that his company would be forced to close five coal-fired power plants, spend an additional $8 billion refitting other plants, and lose 6,000 megawatts of its coal-generated capacity if the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency follows through with its latest proposed regulation of coal power plants.
That's just fine with President Obama and Lisa Jackson, whom he appointed as EPA administrator.
Their goal is to put people like Morris and utilities like AEP out of the coal-fired generation business."
