Judge Faces Death Threats After BP Gulf Oil Drilling Moratorium Ruling
While many Americans undoubtedly agree with the decision of U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman to overturn the Obama administration’s moratorium on deep water drilling, not everyone is happy. In fact, the Judge is now receiving death threats in the aftermath of his bold ruling.

$100,000 Is Plenty for Deposit Insurance
By: Robert C. Pozen*
Wall Street Journal, 6/23/2010 -- It looks as if Congress is about to permanently increase FDIC deposit insurance to $250,000 from $100,000 per bank account. What's more, it plans to make this increase retroactive to Jan. 1, 2008, in order to protect certain depositors at Indy Mac and other banks that became insolvent before the financial crisis reached its height. This move will substantially raise the cost of resolving troubled banks, and isn't necessary to protect small depositors.
The old limit of $100,000 per bank account was interpreted so flexibly by the FDIC that a family of four could easily obtain federal insurance for $600,000 by opening multiple accounts under different names. For example, a husband and wife could both deposit $100,000 in their personal accounts and their business accounts. These parents could also deposit $100,000 in savings accounts for both of their children.
Less than 2% of all bank accounts were above the old $100,000 limit. These uninsured accounts were not held by small depositors, but by high net worth individuals and local business people, many of whom could not easily create enough different accounts in one bank to cover their large deposits. Such accounts had an average balance of $432,000 as of June 2008.
By raising the maximum insurable amount to $250,000 per account, we will lose the market discipline exerted by these wealthy individuals and experienced business people. If they can split a $432,00 bank account into two accounts of $216,000, each under a different name, they would be fully protected under the new legislation. With a 100% guarantee from the federal government, why would they care whether the bank made imprudent loans or bought risky bonds?
Historically, the weakest banks have attracted a flood of deposits by advertising sky-high interest rates. These bankers typically believe that they can grow their way out of problems by investing in new loans and high-yield bonds. This practice was one of the key factors that caused the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s.
By raising the maximum insurable limit to $250,000 per account, we will enhance the ability of weak banks to expand their deposit base very quickly. The result is predictable: much higher costs for the FDIC when it takes over insolvent banks. Meanwhile, the FDIC is already struggling to handle the growing number of bank failures. It recently received a $500 billion line of credit from the U.S. Treasury.
When Congress raised the limit on insured deposits in October 2008 to $250,000 from $100,000 as a response to the financial crisis, it was supposed to expire at the end of 2009. Then, in the middle of 2009, without any hearings or much debate, Congress extended the temporary $250,000 limit until 2013. Now Congress is about to carve this limit into stone.
Congress is also giving serious consideration to making permanent an FDIC program for insuring unlimited amounts on corporate checking accounts in banks. This is another FDIC program that was supposed to be a temporary response to the financial crisis. If Congress extends unlimited insurance on corporate checking accounts, it will undermine the market discipline exerted by corporate treasurers and sharply raise the FDIC's cost of bailing out banks.
What's the rush? Community bankers believe they are at a competitive disadvantage to large banks that benefit from the public perception of being "too big to fail." These bankers have been pushing for higher limits on FDIC insurance since they rely heavily on retail deposits.
Although understandable from a political perspective, these permanent extensions of temporary FDIC insurance programs are bad policy. If political pressures require a permanent expansion of FDIC insurance of bank deposits, Congress should move to a two-tiered structure. The FDIC should fully guarantee the first $100,000 in any bank account, and should guarantee a lesser percentage (e.g., 80%- 90%) of any amount in that bank account between $100,000 and $250,000. That compromise would help community banks, retain a measure of market discipline, and reduce the FDIC's costs in resolving bank failures.

Obama-mind numb robot-following infamous “New World Order” footsteps
President Obama on Saturday revealed a chilling glimpse of a new national security doctrine that sounds very much like echoes from the past. In a commencement speech to the graduating class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the president outlined his departure from “American internationalism." Instead, Obama pledged more of his soft apologetic rhetoric to gain favor and likeability in the world in order to shape a new "international order" (liberal socialist translation “New World Order”) based on apologies, meekness and boot licking.

Fannie and Freddie's House of Horror
By: Peter Eavis
Wall Street Journal, 6/17/2010 -- Does Frankenstein's monster always have to be a monster?
Mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac grew into terrifying creatures because they are private companies with a government backstop. That has already cost taxpayers over $100 billion. Wednesday's announcement that their bombed-out shares are being delisted from the New York Stock Exchange is a reminder of how badly the public-private model worked. Unfortunately, most housing-finance overhaul plans floated assume this hybrid approach will continue.
Most reformers want entities that continue most of what Fannie and Freddie do-- buy mortgages from banks and package them into bonds to sell in the market. The key change reformers advocate is removing government backing for the entities. They want a government guarantee on the bonds issued by these entities.
Granted, that approach substantially limits the degree to which the Frannie-replacements benefit from the government intervention. But the danger is that the government, in its desire to support housing, underprices the guarantee, leaving taxpayers again exposed to potential losses.
People want government intervention in the belief the mortgage market needs support during economic slowdowns. But promising that support likely will hinder changes that could make the mortgage market more resilient. If the government withdrew, banks would design mortgages they would want to hold through an economic cycle. Right now, they would rather sell their new mortgages to Fannie and Freddie.
A more radical shake-up is needed to avoid another housing horror story.

Conservatives Rallying To Chuck DeVore in California Senate Race - HUMAN EVENTS
The Orange County native has been active in conservative causes and campaigns since he was a teenager and, quite often as an adult, leading them. After stints in the Pentagon under Ronald Reagan and later on the staff of former Rep. Christopher Cox (R.-Calif.), he spent several years working for a defense contractor in Orange County.
Two years ago, DeVore, a frequent contributor to HUMAN EVENTS, was seeking a conservative candidate and became the first California Republican office-holder to back Fred Thompson for President. Now in his third term as a state legislator, DeVore defied liberal Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s call for a record-high tax increase in ’09 and later campaigned vigorously against the tax hike when it was on the statewide ballot. (The proposal lost resoundingly, forcing Schwarzenegger and the Democratic leadership in the state legislature to make spending cuts to balance the budget.)
The Original National Socialists
One of the most disturbing things about our children and grandchildren’s education is they are getting a revisionist version of history. This keeps them from learning the lessons of history.
But it is not the only place we get revisionist history. I just took a course at Young Harris College Institute for Continuing Learning (ICL) on “Living & Dying under the Third Reich.”
In the first class the teacher asserted that right-wing conservatives supported Hitler and brought him and the Nazis to power. I asked who exactly was she referring to, since ‘Nazi’ is an acronym for the German National Socialist Workers Party, a decidedly left-wing group.
She refused to answer the question, so I asked for her definition of right-wing conservative. No reply.

NRA-ILA :: Longtime Gun Control Supporters Sponsor Gun Owner Blacklist Bills in Congress
Despite their patriotic-sounding name—the “Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009”—H.R. 2159 by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) and S. 1317 by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) aren’t intended to contribute to the war on terrorism. Instead, they’re intended to give the executive branch of the federal government the arbitrary power to stop loyal Americans from exercising their constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms. The true purpose of the bills comes as no surprise, since King, Lautenberg and co-sponsors Reps. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), Mike Castle (R-Del.), Jim Moran (D-Va.), Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), Mark Kirk (D-Ill.) and Chris Smith (R-N.J.), and Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) are longtime supporters of gun control.

DeVore sounds good – and believable | devore, government, health - Opinion - The Orange County Register
Assemblyman Chuck DeVore of Irvine, candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, met last week with the Register Editorial Board. As with his opponents – Carly Fiorina and Tom Campbell – we found much to like. Indeed, his positions on taxes, the proper limited role of small government, free enterprise and health care closely coincide with the freedom-cherishing positions the Register has held for years.
Given those ideological pluses, we found another of Mr. DeVore's traits most compelling: His consistency and potential for predictability. He remains faithful to the positions he has held since 2004 when first elected to the state Assembly. We believe it's likely he will remain true to those principles, despite shifting winds of circumstance and political faddism. In short, we find Mr. DeVore transparently reliable.

Oppose Statehood for Puerto Rico (HR 2499) | Before It's News
HR 2499 would actually force a yes-or-no vote by Puerto Ricans on whether Puerto Rico should maintain the “current political status” of the island. This sounds innocent enough until the second part of the legislation comes into play; a second vote would have to be administered, this one giving Puerto Ricans no option but statehood or full independence if the majority expresses dissatisfaction with the current political status. Even if there is no dissatisfaction and the “current political status” is favored, every eight years henceforth from the passage of HR 2499 Puerto Rico is forced to conduct another plebiscite on the matter at their own expense.
There are several problems that must first be exposed and debated before such a move should be made. The first is that of creating a bilingual country with the addition of an almost completely Spanish-speaking state. Then there is the problem of reassigning some seats in the U.S. House of Representatives by handing at least six or seven over to Puerto Rico, depriving six or seven existing states of one representative each because of the congressionally-mandated 435 seat cap. This type of political maneuvering seems very partisan because the seats in the Senate and the House would likely be Democratic ones, and the electoral votes awarded Puerto Rico might outnumber those of 22 current states.

a quote from Thomas Paine
Whose country is this?
Arizona acted because the U.S. government has abdicated its constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion and refuses to enforce America's immigration laws.
"We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act," said Gov. Jan Brewer. "But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created an unacceptable situation."
We have a crisis in Arizona because we have a failed state in Washington. What is the response of Barack Obama, who took an oath to see to it that federal laws are faithfully executed?
He is siding with the law-breakers. He is pandering to the ethnic lobbies. He is not berating a Mexican regime that aids and abets this invasion of the country of which he is commander in chief. Instead, he attacks the government of Arizona for trying to fill a gaping hole in law enforcement left by his own dereliction of duty.

Aztlan/Abya Yala Groups Tonatierra and Nahuacalli Behind Phoenix Illegal Alien Marches Gutierrez, Gordon, Grijalva Spoke At : Diggers Realm
Anyone doubting that there is an Aztlan movement or "reconquista" movement in this country need look no further than the recent illegal alien marches in Phoenix opposing the passing of the new law to crack down on illegal aliens in the state - and I'll show you why in a minute.
Opportunist politicians looking for people to exploit for power and money such as Rep Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, Rep Raul Grijalva and others flocked to the rallies. Alfredo Gutierrez of La Frontera Times wrote an article entitled "Arizona Passes Apartheid Era Laws Against Immigrants"1 and spoke at the rallies. Even the Nation of Islam Phoenix chapter sent out Charles Muhmumad to represent them and pave the way for the coming of Al Sharpton so that those who make money and gain power from exploiting the black community aren't left out in the cold during the coming fleecing of the poor. What respectable race-baiter wouldn't want to ensure that they are in on the ground floor of gaining votes, donations or coming back later for "favors" from a community they are taking advantage of?

Campbell has surrounded himself with people tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, who recruited him for their political agenda in a campaign that ultimately reached the Bush White House.
In November 2001, a Brotherhood document called “The Project” from 1982 was found by Swiss police raiding the home of Youssef Nada, a Brotherhood leader thought to be financing terrorism. It detailed a sophisticated plan to incrementally bring Sharia Law to the world, including deep political influence operations in the democratic institutions of the West. The Muslim Brotherhood has been diligently following this plan ever since.

Worse, this land grab would dry up tax revenue that's essential for funding schools, firehouses and community centers.
Congress Is Wasting a Good Crisis
By: Peter EavisWall Street Journal, 3/3/2010-- Has anyone in Congress actually explained to taxpayers how much they could be on the hook for if the banking system were to crater again?
Compromises are being struck in the Senate that could soon clear the way for the passage of financial-system-overhaul legislation. That would seem a cause for celebration, given the need for reform and the many sensible proposals in draft legislation. However, the overhaul could be undermined by parts that aim to construct enormous government backstops for banks. Indeed, if Congress gets its way, the taxpayer may soon have to stand behind some of the riskiest parts of banks' balance sheets.
Before the credit crisis, government support to the banks looked sensibly limited. Through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the taxpayer effectively guaranteed deposits up to a certain size. In theory, other bank liabilities, like bonds, interbank loans and derivatives claims, weren't backed. But when the credit crisis hit, the government rushed in to make sure all manner of bank liabilities could be repaid, including even "repo" obligations, short-term loans whose collateralized nature was supposed to make them super-safe.
Now, in the overhaul legislation, Congress effectively wants to formalize much of that emergency support. Creditors to banks could gain protection that lenders to other sectors will likely never enjoy, creating even more moral hazard. The two main proposed backstops are a program to guarantee bank debt and a $4 trillion Federal Reserve repo facility for banks to tap, both of which would be made available in shaky times.
Granted, these provisions contain features that aim to protect the government and the taxpayer. But this would be difficult in practice. The draft legislation would make it possible for the U.S. to lend to a large financial firm it had seized because it was unstable. The rationale for this is that some debts need to be honored to prevent financial contagion. But that standard could easily lead to the government once again paying out on the sort of derivatives obligations that nearly sank American International Group. As government defenders of the AIG bailout repeatedly say, those were done to prevent contagion.
What should Congress have done? First, instead of enshrining a system for backstopping liabilities like market debt, legislation should have put defined limits on it-- and forced firms that use a lot of it to hold more capital. Second, the advantageous treatment derivatives counterparties enjoy under bankruptcy law should have been reversed. These perks undermine market discipline and can increase systemic instability when a firm fails, says Harvard University law professor Mark Roe.
Congress is highly unlikely to insert such changes. In January, President Obama said he would send back an overhaul bill that doesn't contain "real reform." The backstops are reason alone to do just that.

The senior banker said that JP Morgan Chase and other US rivals are largely immune from the European debt crisis, as the risks have largely been hedged.

Mark Steyn: Why the West is going down the drain
It is now certain that Tehran will get its nukes, and very soon. This is the biggest abdication of responsibility by the Western powers since the 1930s. It is far worse than Pakistan going nuclear, which, after all, was just another thing the CIA failed to see coming. In this case, the slow-motion nuclearization conducted in full view and through years of tortuous diplomatic charades and endlessly rescheduled looming deadlines is not just a victory for Iran but a decisive defeat for the United States. It confirms the Islamo-Sino-Russo-everybody else diagnosis of Washington as a hollow superpower that no longer has the will or sense of purpose to enforce the global order.

An important detail that is neglected in news coverage is that all the multiple-victim public shootings in America - crimes in which more than three people were killed - happened where legal concealed handguns are banned. The Wytheville post office is such a gun-free zone, not to mention that the felon who committed the crime was banned from possessing a firearm anywhere. The Oklahoma City attack was stopped because the man who stopped it could carry a concealed handgun.

"Of Despots and Democrats "
One of the primary campaign edicts of the Obama presidential campaign was Barack Obama�s vow to establish complete and immediate transparency in government. he
Obama administration committed itself to be the most transparent in history. ndeed, the squealing and squalling for a transparent Federal bureaucracy became a central point for Democrat campaigners nationwide.Of course this promise, like most promises Democrats make in the heat of a campaign was soon to be ignored. No, not ignored. Trampled into the muck and mire of the political trenches that is Washington. Yes, trampled is a more apt verb. Trampled under their hatred for George W. Bush. Trampled under their greed for power. Trampled under the weight of their hatred for America and the promise of liberty that is the embodiment of America.
Indeed the Obama/Pelosi/Reid regime has proven themselves to be as transparent as Heydrich and Eichmann at the Wannsee conference. Apparently the definition of transparency has been rewritten in the Webster�s dictionary as the embodiment of total secrecy and an arrogant disregard for the electorate. Though back room secret dealings are as old as the Wormley House Agreement ,when Hayes was given the Presidency over Tilden, the brazen imperial arrogance of the Democrat leadership has raised the bar for all future despots for generations to come.

Legislation Still Under the Radar Would Devastate U.S. Gun Ownership Rights

you lie - President Obama I didnt know ACORN was getting a whole lot of funding
Is President Obama lying again? His statement to George Stephanopoulos today: "I didn't know ACORN was getting a whole lot of government funding." (Via Memeorandum.)
If this isn't an outright lie, I don't know what is. As one of the commenters at Lucianne notes:
Just when you thought that this mans credibility could sink no further, he makes this incredibly stupid statement:
"I didn't even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money."
The Apollo Alliance wrote the darned Stimulus Bill that has $4.19 Billion earmarked for the ACORN umbrella. You know, Van Jones’ organization Apollo Alliance, he’s a good friend of Valerie Jarrett like the BFF kind. Come on man, that statement is an insult to every American's intelligence [spelling corrections appended].
Absolutely.

First Lady Requires More Than Twenty Attendants
"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much," she said. "See, that's why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, " Michelle Obama No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary. How things have changed! If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the ill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public: 1. $172,2000 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff) 2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady) 3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary) 4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady) 5. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady) 6. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady) 7. $84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady) 8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady) 9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady) 10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary) 11. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary) 12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady) 13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady) 14. $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady) 15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady) 16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady) 17. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady) 18. $43,000 - Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office) 19. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady) 20. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary) 21. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant) 22. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady) There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket. Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe .
