1.  IRS Official Lois Lerner Wants Immunity To Testify Before Congress

"They can obtain her testimony tomorrow by doing it the easy way . . . immunity." – Breitbart

"Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH), a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee was unimpressed. 'We hope she comes in and gives us the truth and answers questions. If that doesn’t happen, then you cross the next bridge. … If she says, ‘No, I’m going to come in and assert my Fifth Amendment rights again and not going to speak,’ then you think about what the other options are.'

Legal experts have debated whether Ms. Lerner waived her fifth amendment rights when she delivered an opening statement declaring her innocence prior to invoking those rights. On June 28 in a 22-17 party line vote, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee ruled that she did waive her Fifth amendment rights with that opening statement."  . . . Read More

2.  White House Down

The Obama Version

"In the week that preceded the Egyptian upheaval, our always foolish Secretary of State John Kerry was playing shuttle diplomacy with himself, Israel, and a negotiating partner to be named, in the nonsensical belief that if only Israel would concede a bit more the entire Middle East would be at peace.

As the marchers massed in Tahriri Square (crowd estimates were in the double digit millions) many carrying signs attacking Obama and our Ambassador Patterson as tools of Morsi and the Moslem Brotherhood, Kerry was yachting off Nantucket, or as one wag online tweeted "leading from Be-Heinz". U.S. law precludes our giving foreign aid to administrations which rule by virtue of a coup d'état, and as the administration scolded the Egyptian military it struggled to avoid an accurate description of  events, just in case it occurred to them that they might want to put that check in the mail after all." . . .

3.  Boy Scouts Waste No Time

March in June Pride Parade In Salt Lake City

"Although it violated current policy, a BSA spokesman said the national headquarters would not take any action against the scouts. Instead, it will leave any discipline to the Great Salt Lake Council.

Just ten days after the BSA voted to accept open and avowed 'scouts, the Scout Oath and Law are already falling apart. The first to fall was the pledge to be 'morally straight.' By defiantly marching in the parade, the BSA has now lost 'trustworthy' and 'obedient.'" . . . Read More

4.  Obama Administration Says It ‘Strongly’ Opposes Religious Freedom In Military

"In the past few weeks, the Obama administration has shown exactly what it believes the First Amendment protects: very little." - Alliance Defense Fund

"So maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that the Obama administration once again wants to ignore the First Amendment, this time 'strongly' opposing a proposed amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would protect service members’ actions and speech that reflects 'the conscience, moral, principles, or religious beliefs of the member.' When an Air Force officer can’t display a Bible on his desk because it might make others uncomfortable, it’s clear that free exercise of religion is under attack.

The military isn’t the only place where this administration wants to trample on the religious freedom of every day citizens." . . . Read More

5.  Back To The Future . . .

. . . for Egypt’s State media.

"'The army and people, one hand!' was the rallying cry of jubilant masses of Egyptians in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on the night Hosni Mubarak fell, and again last Wednesday, when the army overthrew elected President Mohamed Mursi.  It resonates loud and clear in state media that have quickly gone 'on message,' as they had been for 16 tumultuous months of military rule following the 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak.

The presence of Republican Guards in the studios of state broadcasting headquarters on Wednesday, the day the army staged its takeover, was an early sign that state media would reprise their traditional role as loyal servants of a military-backed administration." . . . Read More

6.  Progressive Hypocrisy To Make You Sick

“The adults who are paid to educate kids got what they wanted. The result is the system we see today: nearly all public money goes to government schools. Government owns the buildings, hires the teachers, dictates the curriculum, writes the tests, and even gets to decide whether or not it’s doing a good job. It sets the standards." - Education News

"To say that there are items that present in the news each day that make me roll my eyes would be to under-state the fact in a dramatic way. But every now and again — and it is beginning to happen with more frequency, much to the detriment of the forces lending themselves to common sense — there presents a story so outrageous, so infuriatingly hypocritical, so blatant in arrogance, that it conjures the forces of anger from within one’s soul. The coverage of Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis’ words to the City Club of Chicago is such a story." . . . Read More

7.  Islamic Extremists Retaliate In Nigeria

“Thousands have fled their homes in northern Nigeria amid Islamic extremist attacks on Christians, partly in retaliation for the government's state of emergency and the destruction of extremist bases.”  – BaptistPress

"Extremists killed a pastor in Nigeria's Borno State and attacked two towns in the northeastern Nigerian state in June and, less than a week later, killed a Christian and attacked villages in Plateau State some 300 miles southwest, Morning Star News reported.

The violence was attributed to ethnic Fulani Muslims and to the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram, indicating the latter has regrouped and retaliated against Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan's state of emergency and corresponding destruction in May of Boko Haram bases in the Sambisa Games Reserve in Borno.

Boko Haram is blamed for killing pastor Jacob Kwiza and attacking five Christian communities in Borno's Mandara Hills area, Morning Star News reported. Fulani Muslims are blamed for killing Toma Vongjen, a Christian in the Wase area of Plateau State, and destroying church buildings in four villages there, the persecution monitor reported.

The thousands who fled their homes had been warned by Boko Haram to flee within a week or face death, area Christians said, the Associated Press reported." . . . Read More

8.  Believe It Can’t Happen In An Intellectual Society? Think Again.   

Well Here’s Proof Again That Anything Can Happen In An “Intellectual” Democratic Society, Be It Quartering A Human As If A Side Of Beef Or Cleansing Six Million

“They reportedly tied up the referee, beat him, stoned him, lynched him, and then quartered him. When they finished, they cut off his head and placed it on a stake in the center of the field.

So far, just one man, 27-year-old Luis Moraes Souza, has been arrested for the crime, and authorities are searching for two more. Valter Costa, the chief of police in Maranhão’s town of Santa Ines, spoke in a statement. “Reports of witnesses have indicated some people that were in place at the time of the fact,” he said. “We will identify and hold accountable all those involved. A crime will never justify another. Actions like this do not collaborate with the legality of a state law.” . .  . Read More

Warning:  (Think of this as if an educational video of what an angry crowd in a democracy is capable of, this one in Brazil while remembering that wolf packs do this for food, not revenge.)

9.  Exhibit Of Israeli Comics Gives German Offended Muslim Student New Thing To Destroy

“A Muslim student at the University of Duisburg-Essen in western Germany ripped up part of a graphic novel exhibit featuring artwork by notable Israeli artist and Tel Aviv resident Rutu Modan.” – DailyCaller

"Late last month, the offended Muslim student used scissors to cut certain images from a collage including parts of Modan’s most famous graphic novel, 'Exit Wounds' (called 'Blutspuren' in German).

One feature of the montage related to Modan was a peace demonstration set in Israel. The collage also included a poster with the word 'Shalom,' a Hebrew word signifying complete peace.  As a result of the student’s handiwork, school officials promptly closed the exhibit.

Rector Ulrich Radtke said that school officials would meet with the Muslim student and discuss what she did, notes the Post. He also said that the school may reprimand her in some way, including by instigating legal aciton." . . . Read More

 

10.  A Stunning New Reality Of Living In Urban America

“As traffic congestion continues to worsen, the time required for a given trip becomes more unpredictable.” – TexasTransportation

"The Planning Time Index (PTI), a measure of travel reliability, illustrates the amount of extra time needed to arrive on time for higher priority events, such as an airline departure, just-in-time shipments, medical appointments or especially important social commitments. If the PTI for a particular trip is 3.00, a traveler would allow 60 minutes for a trip that typically takes 20 minutes when few cars are on the road. Allowing for a PTI of 3.00 would ensure on-time arrival 19 out of 20 times.

PTIs on freeways vary widely across the nation, from 1.31 (about nine extra minutes for a trip that takes 30 minutes in light traffic) in Pensacola, Florida, to 5.72 (almost three hours for that same half-hour trip) in Washington, D.C., according to the study by TTI, a member of The Texas A&M University System." . . .
