Joining Race for Mayor, Weiner Finds Few Allies

It may be the loneliest mayoral campaign in memory.

Anthony D. Weiner was holed up in his Manhattan apartment Wednesday as reporters waited.

_______________________________

From The New York Times, By  05/22/13  Anthony D. Weiner, whose once promising career in government imploded over his lewd private life online, is seeking to lead a city of eight million where close to half the voters are opposed to his running and the leadership of his own political party has written him off.

He has virtually no campaign infrastructure, no labor unions leaping to his side, no army of on-the-ground foot soldiers eager to evangelize on his behalf.

But, curiously enough, he says it may be better that way.

Google Needs Extra Time to Spy on Your Kids

Google-spy

From RedState.com, By: Ben Howe, May 22nd, 2013 – It seems that Google is constantly falling afoul of conservatives, consumers, pundits, regulators and really everyone else on earth (except for the Obama campaign) for its privacy-infringing tendencies.

It got hammered for “alleged” spying in the Safarigate scandal, where it wound up agreeing to a record-breaking $22.5 million fine in connection with charges it surreptitiously tracked Apple Safari users who Google had said could opt out of tracking, and did what Google said was necessary to opt out. This spying of course enabled Google to grab data it shouldn’t have had, to improve its highly profitable targeted ad business, and do it in a way that amounted to a violation of its contract with users.

It’s the ‘Wacko Birds’ vs. the Wackos Again

McCain-1From RedState.com By: Daniel Horowitz, May 22nd, 2013 - If I were granted one wish about the state of today’s politics it would be for the Democrats to be saddled with their own version of John McCain. Once again, McCain is working to score points for Democrats and undermine Cruz/Paul and Lee – the “Wacko Birds” – in their attempt to prevent a free debt ceiling increase.

Over 150 conservative leaders, groups sign letter opposing Gang of 8 bill

Gang-of-8-Bill-1

From The DailyCaller.com, by Caroline May, 05/21/2013 - Over 150 conservative leaders, groups and grassroots activists have signed an open letter opposing the Senate immigration reform bill.

“We write to express  our serious concerns regarding the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill, S. 744. We  oppose this bill and urge you to vote against it when it comes to the Senate  floor,” the letter to be released Tuesday and obtained by The Daily Caller  reads. ”No matter how well intentioned, the Schumer-Rubio bill suffers from  fundamental design flaws that make it unsalvageable. Many of us support various  parts of the legislation, but the overall package is so unsatisfactory that the  Senate would do better to start over from scratch.”

Gang of Eight Betrays Americans

by Phyllis Schlafly
President of Eagle Forum

The Gang of Eight immigration bill can be summed up as amnesty now, border closing never. The Department of Homeland Security is not required to build a fence (which was ordered by the Secure Fence Act signed by President George W. Bush). DHS is required only to submit a plan.

If the DHS Secretary decides she has not reached 90 percent of border security, a “trigger” kicks in: the creation of a Southern Border Security Commission empowered (horrors!) to make recommendations. After six months of pondering its mission, the Commission automatically self-liquidates, so there will never be border security.

Governor Signs King Bill to Protect Texas Landowners

AUSTIN – This past weekend Governor Perry signed SB 655, sponsored by State Representative Phil King (R-Weatherford), into law.  This legislation clarifies and strengthens existing law related to eminent domain in Texas to prevent certain entities from exercising eminent domain for improper purposes.

“The legislature has made good strides over the past several years in protecting Texas landowners from abuses in the use of eminent domain,” King stated, “S.B. 655 adds to these protections by limiting the circumstances under which the ever-growing water and wastewater districts in Texas may exercise this authority.  These districts will now be limited to exercising eminent domain only if the property they plan to take will be used for a public use, as opposed to ‘public purpose.’  The public use requirement is a much higher burden for the condemning authority to meet.”

S.B. 655 received more than a two-thirds vote in both chambers of the legislature, and is therefore effective immediately.

WISD Purchases Land

Weatherford-ISD-3-tracts

From WISDbond.com, May 20, 2013 -

In a quick and somewhat hushed up special board meeting last Friday the Weatherford Independent School District Board of Trustees did one good thing by swearing in their newest board member Dr. Joshua Tarbay. However, they also granted Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Hanks with the ability to finalize a land purchase deal in the amount of $1.25 million.

Obama’s biggest fans abandoning ship?

From WND.com, by Drew  Zahn, 05/18/2013 -

They used to think him a ‘thrill,’ but latest scandals smell  more of ‘tyranny’

130518obamapleadz

Barack Obama once enjoyed a Teflon reputation in the mainstream media, where  his allies were quick to deflect criticism of his presidency and bad news never seemed to stick.

But as scandal upon scandal have washed over his administration in recent  weeks – first a floundering response to attacks in Benghazi that led to the  death of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, then reports the IRS targeted  his political opponents, then news the Justice Department seized phone records of Associated Press reporters – even some of Obama’s most ardent supporters in the media are turning critical.

REPORT:  RUSSIA SENDS WARSHIPS TO SYRIAN COAST: Russia  has sent a dozen or more warships to patrol waters near its naval base in  Syria, a buildup that US and European officials see as a newly aggressive  stance meant partly to warn the West and Israel not to intervene in Syria’s  devastating civil war, according to reports on Friday. On Thursday, Syria’s  official news agency SANA reported that five Russian warships had crossed the Suez Canal and entered the Mediterranean Sea.
