Good bye New York....These folks thought the shrimp (Bloomberg) was a conservative! -----Bill de Blasio Fund-Raises for Emboldened Left

Bill de Blasio Fund-Raises for Emboldened Left | Politicker:

Last night Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio was again the darling of the left.

Headlining a Brooklyn fund-raiser for the group New York Communities for Change, Mr. de Blasio was hailed as a progressive hero and the fruit of a more than decade-long battle by labor groups, grassroots organizations and the Working Families Party to crown one of their own. 

“I am so appreciative of not just the support I received and my campaign received, I’m appreciative of all the people who were given hope by New York Communities for Change, who were shown their own power,” said Mr. de Blasio, speaking at the Transport Workers Union Local 100′s headquarters in Brooklyn.

.....“We are in a progressive moment right now,” declared East Harlem Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito, an early endorser of Mr. de Blasio and a leading candidate for council speaker. “This honoree [Mr. de Blasio] represents the culmination of Jon’s tireless, brilliant and visionary work to build our city’s progressive infrastructure and to build coalitions across groups that made our movement stronger … It was this infrastructure that was built that just about a month ago enabled our city to elect its first progressive Democratic mayor in 20 years, our Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio.”

.....Still, Mr. de Blasio reserved much of his praise for NYCC, a community organizing group once known as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. ACORN, which fought for liberal causes like raising the minimum wage and ending predatory lending, disbanded several years ago after an embarrassing scandal dried up its funding streams.

It's not about the website. It's about the disaster to come!

Well, we do have the vote. 'Cept fer the cheating on the photo ID thing-------Expert Testifies to Congress that Obama’s ‘Ignoring Laws’ Could Lead to Overthrow of Government

Expert Testifies to Congress that Obama’s ‘Ignoring Laws’ Could Lead to Overthrow of Government | Mediaite:
"On Tuesday, Michael Cannon, Cato Institute’s Director of Health Policy Studies, testified before a congressional committee about the dangers of the president’s legal behavior.

“There is one last thing to which the people can resort if the government does not respect the restrains that the constitution places on the government,” Cannon said. “Abraham Lincoln talked about our right to alter our government or our revolutionary right to overthrow it.”
“That is certainly something that no one wants to contemplate,” he continued. “If the people come to believe that the government is no longer constrained by the laws then they will conclude that neither are they.”

“That is a very dangerous sort of thing for the president to do, to wantonly ignore the laws,” Cannon concluded, “to try to impose obligation upon people that the legislature did not approve.”"

Remember, the democrats and their Pravda comrades want you disarmed.
Then what are ya gonna do?
Memphis Homeowner Shoots Burglar While Waiting For Police To Arrive:
"A Memphis homeowner came face to face with two suspected burglars who broke into his home last week. As he waited for police to show up, he shot down of them as the other ran away, WREG reports.

The homeowner called 911 when he heard the glass of a back room window break. But before officers could arrive, the two suspects were already inside the home and that’s when the homeowner decided to take action.

He shot at the intruders, injuring one of them.

That suspect was later found about a block away and taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition."

This unaccountable coven of eco-communists showing how stupid they really are------House thwarts attempts by EPA to regulate fire hydrants

Isn't dog pee a deadly toxin the geniuses at EPA ought to be working on?

House thwarts attempts by EPA to regulate fire hydrants | The Daily Caller:
The House unanimously passed legislation Monday that would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from requiring that all new fire hydrants be lead-free by early next year.
Democrats and Republicans rejected the agency’s rule, saying it goes too far.
The EPA issued a guidance in October saying that since fire hydrants are sometimes used to supply drinking water during emergency situations, they are covered under the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act. 
....The lead-free requirement would make it difficult to repair or replace fire hydrants — posing a public health risk."

OMG! They've NOT lost Al Jazeera! Fears for the future after Detroit bankruptcy ruling | Al Jazeera America

Not a surprise the propagandists at the Al Queida network are lying and providing heart wrenching stories of woe.
But it isn't the banks who will pay.
It's the citizens of Detroit and Michigan who will get the bill for these thieves.
Fears for the future after Detroit bankruptcy ruling | Al Jazeera America:

Detroit Fire Department retiree Del Williams, who takes five medications daily after heart bypass surgery, is scared that out-of-pocket health care costs will increase, straining an already austere budget. "I'm thinking about getting a side job, but who in this economy is going to hire a 58-year-old?'' he said.

Tony Gilbert, a former DFD captain who retired in 1998, lost his downtown condo to foreclosure late last year, shortly before Orr was appointed Detroit's emergency manager and the prospect of bankruptcy was broached. Health-related expenses for both him and his wife have wiped them out, he said.

"Now this," he said of the ruling. "I'm struggling."

Al Buford, a mail clerk who works in the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, said the ruling was a foregone conclusion. "They already got it mapped out the way they're going to do this," he said, smiling wanly while loading boxes of interoffice mail into a car trunk. "I'm very concerned, but no use losing sleep, I guess."

Alvin Coleman, who works in the city's Water and Sewerage Department, said he doesn't know what's going to happen but believes he'll at least keep his job. "Maybe the city can get back on track now, but I don't know. Nobody knows how bad it's going to get before it starts to get better."

Amru Meah has his own future in mind, and he doesn't like what he sees. The cancer survivor and former buildings and safety engineering employee fears deep pension and health care cuts. "Costs are rising everywhere. How am I going to pay my bills?" he said. "How am I going to make my mortgage payments?"

Meah, 57, retired in 2009 after 32 years on the job. His wife does not work. "When I retired, I determined what my income would be. And now ... I don't know how I will survive," he said, shaking his head. "Maybe I'll file for bankruptcy too."

Yes we can...... educate inner city children. But it takes hard work. Something teacher unions will fight to the death------College ready: A Milwaukee inner-city school success story

College ready: A Milwaukee inner-city school success story « Watchdog.org

On Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in inner-cityMilwaukee, home to some of the worst-performing schools in the country, sits a school where, for two years in a row, 100 percent of seniors have been accepted to college.

This year, more than 80 percent have been accepted already.

Many of the students come from single-parent homes, and 97 percent qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. Almost every student attends with financial aid from a voucher.

...Students wear uniforms and are courteous to visitors. The hallways and classrooms are full of reminders of the three pillars: Christ, College, Character.

...Each day, students who master the material receive “exit tickets” allowing them to leave; students who don’t stay after and work with the teacher for extra support. Teachers give their cell phone numbers to students so they can call with homework questions during evenings and weekends. Some teachers meet with students as early as 6 a.m., before the school day starts.

""Get ready, because in 2016, if Hillary is the nominee, it’s just going to be sexism will be the new racism...It’s what you use when you don’t have anything."
Indeed it is, but Rall's right.
Just as anyone that criticized Obama the past six-plus years was accused of racism, in the coming years, anyone that criticizes Hillary if she runs will be depicted as sexist.
The so-called "Republican War on Women" will be dusted off again, and every utterance by an opponent or commentator that isn't flattering will be due to Clinton's lack of a Y-chromosome and not because of her views."

Understand the union secretly schemed with corrupt city officials to "agree" on unaffordable contracts--------- Bankrupt Detroit can cut pensions; big implications for California

Bummer dudes and dudettes.

It ain't gonna happen.
Hopefully.
Bankrupt Detroit can cut pensions; big implications for California - Business - The Sacramento Bee:
"In a case with major implications for California, a judge today ruled that the bankrupt city of Detroit can impose cuts to its municipal pension plans.
The ruling by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes could help bankrupt San Bernardino in a potential legal showdown with CalPERS over the sanctity of employee pensions.
According to the Detroit News, the judge said pensions are essentially the same as any other contract, and “it has long been understood that bankruptcy law entails the impairment of contracts.”"

Incredibly, the democrat leftists that hate Walmart, are "thrilled" with the ObamaCare website performance-----These Were The Most Sold Items On Walmart's Record Breaking Cyber-Monday

These Were The Most Sold Items On Walmart's Record Breaking Cyber-Monday | Zero Hedge
"Walmart today announced that Cyber Monday 2013 was the biggest online sales day in its history.
The five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday is the highest five-day stretch in online sales for the retailer to date, and Walmart.com processed more than one billion page views during that period.

Somehow WMT managed to process all this traffic without having to spend $1 billion in taxpayer funds to "fix" it website or having to retain Google and Oracle to comb through its 500 million lines of flawed code.

So what were WMT's online shoppers spending most of their money on?

Common Core Even Affects Letter Grades | Heartlander Magazine:
"National curriculum mandates are influencing schools across the country in myriad ways, big and small.
One not-so-obvious change is that Common Core standards can influence how teachers grade student work."
...New quarterly report cards were initially eight pages long, but the committee pared that down to one double-sided page.
Now K-8 students are graded M for mastery, P for progression, and L for learning.
“Kids were more excited when I told them they got an A-plus, or a B.
They know that’s pretty good,” Happel said.
“But when you give them a P or M they don’t know what that means.”

This upside down world is because we allow liberals to make every decision. Even the little ones------Girl selling mistletoe for straighter smile is shut down — here’s why

Girl selling mistletoe for straighter smile is shut down — here’s why | Rare
Those of us familiar with orthodontia know braces aren’t cheap, which is exactly why an 11-year-old Oregon girl decided to sell mistletoe this Christmas season: to help her father with the expense.
But Madison Root’s entrepreneurial endeavor didn’t get any love from city officials Saturday when she went to her local market to sell her bags of freshly handpicked mistletoe wrapped on her uncle’s Oregon farm, reports ABC.
A security guard hired to oversee the public marketplace, however, instructed Madison to stop selling her berry-tipped greenery citing city rules that require vendors have documented approval to sell their goods.

Madison, in an interview with CBS 12 News, pointed out the irony in the situation as a vendor right next to her at the open-air market was peddling signs asking “Got Pot?”

“They’re raising money for pot, and I’m selling mistletoe.”

And, though she was told she could solicit donations without documentation, Madison said she would rather earn her braces.
“I don’t want to beg,” she said. “I would rather work for something than beg.”

Mistletoe orders have snowballed since news of the story broke Sunday, Breitbart reports. 

And, as of Monday, Madison has been sporting her new braces.

Shock! Some women lie! ------Trial next for Michigan woman accused of false rape report

James Grissom served about a decade in prison before his conviction was overturned."

As our president takes his cues from Havana and Sacramento----Venezuela Plunges Into Darkness As President Maduro Lays Out Socialist Vision On National TV

Venezuela Plunges Into Darkness As President Maduro Lays Out Socialist Vision On National TV | Zero Hedge:
"A mere two months after the last widespread blackout to hit Venezuela, major parts of the nation are once again dark tonight as a power outage hit during President Maduro's evening address laying out his new economic philosophy (the inverse of Bernanke's):

*MADURO SAYS VENEZUELANS MUST SAVE MORE, CONSUME LESS
The blackoutt has affected some of the nation's oil refineries (even though they are often powered by separate generator plants).

Maduro himself said this evening's blackout cause was "strange," hinting at "sabotage" and not caused by excess demand (since the same substation that was sabotaged in September has failed).
Perhaps it is time to spend what little discretionary reserves the nation has left on infrastructure instead of Samsung trinkets and military bonuses to keep the people at bay."
