Recapping Last Week in Congress

The House spent its week chiefly on two bills that may never again see the light of day. First, the fake Republican budget and debt ceiling bill that won't cut, cap or balance anything, since it'll almost assuredly never be enacted into law. Kudos, by the way, to the Democratic Whip operation for referring to it as the "Cut, Cap, and End Medicare Act."

Note, too, that the bill doesn't even raise the debt ceiling. Sec. 301 prohibits that until Congress passes a balanced budget amendment. And not just any BBA, either, but a very specific version of it. Since that requires a 2/3 vote in both houses, the fake GOP bill adds that additional hurdle on top of all the problems they're already causing on the debt ceiling. Just what the world needed!

The second long-shot of the week was H.R. 1315, the so-called, "Consumer Financial Protection Safety and Soundness Improvement Act." Psst! Just between you and me, it doesn't really improve anything! Plus, the rule for the bill provided that once H.R. 1315 passed, the Clerk will include the text of H.R. 830 (the FHA Refinance Program Termination Act) in the text of H.R. 1315. H.R. 830, however, drew a veto threat from President Obama months ago. So that'll probably work out great, too.

Top line items in the Senate last week were the MilCon/VA appropriations bill (which passed overwhelmingly, despite requiring a cloture vote on the motion to proceed) and the House's fake budget/debt package (which failed miserably, the Senate voting to table it).

This Week in Congress

Both houses will be in a holding pattern this week, waiting for some legislative vehicle to emerge with which The Deal to Save the World can be moved.

The House waits on pending legislation by filling up its schedule with other stuff that can be put off if necessary. Lots of post office naming bills, for instance. But also plenty of other stuff, including more appropriations bills, and some dubiously named junk like the "North American-Made Energy Security Act" (a bill to fast-track some oil pipelines) and the near-hilarious "Protecting Jobs From Government Interference Act" (preventing the NLRB from... doing anything). And maybe, just maybe, we'll even see a vote on a balanced budget amendment, too.

The Senate has a very different method of hanging around, waiting for things to happen. They have the option to schedule something ponderous and just let it sit there on the floor, or even to schedule nothing in particular and take long recesses and extended quorum calls. On Monday, they've got a few judicial nominations to keep them busy. After that, it's anybody's guess how they'll occupy their floor time while waiting for The Deal's ship to come in.

Full floor and committee schedules are below the fold.

John Boehner : I didn't want "mano-a-mano" with Obama

As House Speaker John Boehner left his ceremonial office building and was walking through the Speaker's Lobby surrounded by his security detail, he expressed his frustration with the ongoing debt debate gridlock. CBS News' Jill Jackson overhead the Speaker say: "I didn't sign up for going mano-a-mano with the President of the United States."

His remark was dry in tone, and it was followed by silence as walked down the marble stairs and left the Capitol.

Boehner is caught in the middle of a battle within his own party and with the opposition party, and he apparently didn't expect being Speaker would lead to verbal combat with the president in prime time.

As reported earlier on Political Hotsheet, some within the GOP have come out against Boehner's latest plan on the debt crisis.

In a statement Monday afternoon, Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said he opposed the Boehner plan, adding that the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" plan passed recently by the House but rejected by Democrats "is the only plan on the table that meets (his conservative) standard."

Jordan is one of 38 conservative lawmakers who earlier this year signed a pledge to vote against any debt increase that was not attached to an amendment to the Constitution requiring a balanced budget.

While Boehner has said that he believes that there is still enough Republican votes to pass his own plan through the House despite objections from their more conservative members, that plan is still far away from what Mr. Obama and the Democrats are likely to get passed through the Senate.

"I want you to know I made a sincere effort to work with the president to identify a path forward that would implement the principles of Cut, Cap, & Balance in a manner that could secure bipartisan support and be signed into law," Boehner said in his speech Monday night.

Then Boehner went on to try and pin the blame for the gridlock on the debt talks on Mr. Obama, saying: "I gave it my all. Unfortunately, the president would not take yes for an answer. The president has often said we need a 'balanced' approach -- which in Washington means: we spend more... you pay more. The sad truth is that the president wanted a blank check six months ago, and he wants a blank check today. That is just not going to happen."

Is Obama A Pathological Liar?

Uh, why yes he is!


His late-evening news conference Friday was a tour de force of flat-out, unadulterated mendacity — and we’ve gotten a first-hand insider’s view of the president’s long list of lies.
Barry is a liberal socialist, he does what liberals socialist do, they LIE about everything!

August Town Horror - Fourth Beheading In A Week



As the Jamaican society continues to reel from the gory practice of beheadings being perpetrated by hoodlums, a fourth person suffered the horrific fate early yesterday, but miles away from the ghastly scene of the first three.

The horrific act of beheadings that blemished the comparative calm of Lauriston in St Catherine last week, has further marred the more volatile community of August Town in the eastern end of Corporate Area. In what appears to be a copy of the first three cases, news came that another man suffered the same fate in August Town.

This latest incident happened only two days after a woman and her daughter were beheaded. Another man was hacked two days before the women were slaughtered.

The police say the latest incident happened about 12:30 yesterday morning.

The Sunday Gleaner was introduced to a man who resides in nearby Karachi in the eastern St Andrew community who said he knew the victim only as 'Bobby' and that he worked as a gardener.

"He is a working man. He is not an idler," the man who spoke on condition of anonymity told The Sunday Gleaner.

torso found

A distressed neighbour of the victim who lives on Marl Road in the community said the man's torso was found in another section of the community called Dread Heights. The young woman told The Sunday Gleaner that the community was in a state of shock and charged that the police were not doing enough to keep out the violence.

"The community must 'fraid. De police dem come dung here and a terrorise people and nothing nah gwaan down here," she complained. "Dem must go Dread Heights and up inna the hills where the bad men dem is, instead of staying down at Tavern".

She said Bobby was at home on Marl Road when men came and knocked on his door and took him away from his two children.

The killing of the first three in St Catherine had prompted a reaction from National Security Minister Dwight Nelson as he addressed the Senate on Friday.

Nelson denounced the act, but the brutality of the criminals continued yesterday, increasing fears among Jamaicans.

Jamaicans for Justice, the human rights organisation has also reacted saying it was appalled by the barbaric shooting and beheading of three residents of the community of Lauriston, St Catherine over the past three days.

"We are deeply disturbed that there are members of our society that would carry out such vicious and inhumane acts and are saddened that our country continues to be plagued by a culture of bloodletting and violence," said Carolyn Gomes executive director of Jamaicans for Justice.

San Diego Woman Shot in the Head

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her
in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to 
pick up some groceries. 

Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the 
driveway with the windows rolled up and with her
eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. 
He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed 
that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. 
He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she  had 
been shot in the back of the head and had been holding
her brains in for over an hour.

The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car
because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove 
her hands from her head.

When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of
bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister 
had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded 
like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her
head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt 
the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, 
but quickly recovered.
Linda is blonde, a Democrat and an Obama supporter, 
but that could all be a coincidence.

The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and it 
was determined to be Bush's fault.
Thanks David !

A distraught young woman called U.S. Rep. David Wu’s Portland office this spring, accusing him of an unwanted sexual encounter, according to multiple sources.
When confronted, the Oregon Democrat acknowledged a sexual encounter to his senior aides but insisted it was consensual, the sources said.
Mr. Wu has been off his rockers for years, but not a peep from from Nancy, Steny, that Schultz thing from Florida?

He needs tossed from Congress now. Hello ethics investigation?

CRIME IN JAMAICA, Pregnant 21-Y-O Killed, 13-Y-O Girl In Custody





A minor dispute gone horribly wrong is how some residents of Southside in Central Kingston are describing Thursday night's incident that left a 21-year-old pregnant woman dead and a 13-year-old girl in state custody.

Yesterday, members of two families mourned the loss of a young woman who already was mother to a one-year-old child, and a girl just at the start of her teenage years.

Chrisann Wilson, better known as 'Angel', was fatally stabbed, allegedly by the 13-year-old, during a dispute on Tower Street in Central Kingston about 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

Yesterday, the 13-year-old's mother turned her in to the Elleston Road Police Station where she was taken into custody and warned that she could face a murder charge.

"The two of them did have a beef from early this year and (the 13-year-old) threaten Angel say she must kill her," one resident told The Gleaner.

"Me see when she lick Angel in her chest and Angel run go outside, but is when Angel come back inside she say she get stab and me see the blood," the resident added.

According to reports, earlier this year, Angel challenged the 13-year-old after she was told that the teenager had passed insulting remarks about her one-year-old baby.

That led to a fist fight which ended with the teenager reportedly not satisfied with the outcome.

On Thursday, the dispute was rekindled when Angel was allegedly approached by the teenager and stabbed twice.

Angel was taken to hospital where she died while undergoing treatment, while the 13-year-old fled.

The teenager, after being turned in by her mother, has since been taken to a juvenile place of safety.

The mothers of the two females refused to speak to The Gleaner as tears flowed down their cheeks.

Angel's mother will have to take care of the one-year-old baby left behind while the mother of the 13-year-old will have to deal with a child with a murder charge hanging over her head.

This Isn't Wild Eyed Socialism

Uh Barry, yes it is!



“This isn’t some wild-eyed socialist position, (and) this isn’t about punishing wealth,” Obama said. “This is about asking people who have benefited the most over the last decade to share in the sacrifice. I think these patriotic Americans are willing to pitch in if they’re asked.”
Most of America disagrees with you too...

Those announcements follow 41,432 in planned cuts in June, up 11.6% from May and 5.3% vs. a year earlier, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Losing $1.3 billion Is A Major Success?

Only in the Obama Administration is losing taxpayer money a success...


Even though that means $1.3 billion will not be recovered, the Treasury called it a "major accomplishment."
Everything this bunch touches turns to sh*t for the taxpayers.

Rule 5

Failure Of Leadership

Yes, most of us agree Barry is a failure.
In 2006 he said this.
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
That was when there was a nasty old Republican in the White House though...



Change indeed...

Growth?

Yawn...


New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, a government report showed on Thursday, pointing to a labor market that is struggling to regain momentum after job growth faltered in the last two months.
Nothing will change until Barry is sent packing, that should be obvious by now.

WTF?

This is insane.
