Video: Good Guys win another one in Wisconsin

This battle took place in New Berlin, WI. Just to set this up, the guys in the red shirts are the Unionistas who showed up en masse at a school board meeting to protest changes to the school district's handbook. However, the red shirts ran into a taxpayer buzz saw they weren't expecting. Stick with the entire video because you will find yourself pumping your fist at the end. This may be a small battle in the larger war against teachers unions in particular and public sector unions in general but it does clearly demonstrate that when taxpayers show support for government officials who want to do the right thing, those government officials appreciate that support.

Shocker: Hillary Clinton wants to un-freeze Gadhafi's Assets and Give to the Rebels

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wants to un-freeze $1.5 Billion of Gadhafi's assets and distribute them amongst the rebels who have overthrown the regime. Despite there being strong evidence that these rebels are backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, Hillary apparently wants to throw money at them before we even know who or what their motives are. Since the US was instrumental in 'liberating' them, shouldn't we reimburse our military? just a thought. Anyway, making this even more egregious is a report that Hillary doesn't even want to make transfer of these funds contingent on the Lockerbie bomber's fate.

Can anyone say Huma Abedin?

Via the AP:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is joining top officials from dozens of countries to hear Libya's rebels spell out what they need in financial aid and other assistance to stabilize the Arab country.

Clinton, who left Washington on Wednesday night to attend the conference scheduled for Thursday in Paris, hopes to announce that $1.5 billion in Gadhafi regime assets frozen in the United States have been distributed on behalf of the rebels, U.S. officials said.

That money, about half of the liquid portion of the more than $30 billion in frozen Libyan assets, was freed up last week when the U.N. Security Council eased sanctions against Libya. European nations are now seeking similar U.N. authorization to release billions more in frozen assets that they hold.

"We have supported the unfreezing of this small, limited amount of money - not so small, $1.5 billion - to begin to meet their immediate humanitarian and governance needs," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Wednesday.

Although some U.S. lawmakers have asked Clinton to link the release of the assets to the case of convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, Nuland said the administration will continue to press Libyan rebels to review the case but will not hold up the transfer of funds because of it.

As Libya and other Arab countries fall victim to the Muslim Brotherhood-backed Arab Spring, we will see our leaders completely unmasked. This administration has demonstrated an across-the-board allegiance to the Brotherhood and we need to figure out why.

Video: New Twist to Andre Carson's Outrageous Comments about Tea Party

When Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) spoke at a town hall on August 22nd, he egregiously said that the Tea Party wants to see blacks 'hanging from a tree.' To this point, some have referred to a specific portion of his comments as 'unintelligible.' He can be heard saying, 'I'm sorry........" We now know what he said. He said, 'I'm sorry, Tamaron.' Who is Tamaron? That would be MSNBC host and moderator of the town hall, Tamaron Hall. Two things make this revelation significant. First, Hall never reported what Carson said and second, Carson obviously knew he was going to put Hall in a bad spot by saying it.

Here's the video of Carson's rant via The Blaze:



Now NewsBusters is reporting on another NBC employee who was in attendance. Joy-Ann Reid is not just an NBC employee, though. She's also a former aide to Barack Obama:

In addition to Hall, the RealMReynolds blog on Wednesday pointed out that Reid, the anchor's colleague in the NBC family (as managing editor for TheGrio.com), live-Tweeted the CBC town hall. The former Obama 2008 campaign press aide, who bashed Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann as "crazy" and "loopy" earlier in August, and defended Newsweek's "queen of rage" cover of the Indiana congresswoman, actually highlighted Rep. Carson's lynching attack against the Tea Party in a Tweet (while admitting she didn't know his name), but neglected to mention it in her report on TheGrio.com.

Hall never reported on Carson's comments and neither did Reid. Obama has not uttered a peep with regard to denouncing the comments. It's pretty safe to say that the Obama administration is controlling the message coming out of MSNBC and NBC.

For the record, Carson is one of two Muslims in the US Congress with the other being Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). Both are Democrats, both are members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), and both have been registered members of the Democratic Socialists of America caucus.

What a disgrace.
