Jodi Arias and Hillary Clinton: Birds of a Feather

They both like to adjust their glasses. They both lie. They’re both guilty.

ALOHA, ALL!! All you need to know about the Benghazi hearing can be summed up by the exchange below between Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin and Juan Williams. It’s obvious that Williams didn’t even see the testimonies from the whistle blowers – just like most of America probably didn’t. If they were watching TV on Wednesday, it was with baited breath to see if Jodi Arias got away with murder (she didn’t.) None of the major networks covered the Benghazi hearing live. Fox News covered most of it. So ask yourself: will justice be done for those brave Americans who lost their lives in Libya? Don’t hold your breath. Unlike Jodi Arias, Hillary & Obama will get away with it. Besides,Hillary’s a better liar than Jodi. (Read more HERE)

Concise and on-target! As Ronald Reagan said, “If we ever forget we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”

"Give Me Your Radicals, Your Criminals...

Your huddled masses, yearning to destroy me.”

This replica of The Statue of Liberty was stolen from a Brooklyn coffee shop and decapitated in 2009.

ALOHA, ALL!!! Don’t recognize the statement in the title? We might as well change the inscription on the Statue of Liberty to those words. Yes, something needs to be done about immigration – we badly need reform and a policy that that makes sense. But should we not secure the borders first? Should we not realize that there are millions here currently who are breaking the law? The current immigration reform bill being discussed has tons of flaws, not the least of which it does nothing to make our borders safer and that it will truly bankrupt the country.

Ah @joe H….if you think the North Korea comment was the only thing that prompted the divorce papers, then you’ve made Maya’s point. Rest assured that your work is done here.

I am so glad to hear that this is being done! The story of immigrants coming to this country is timeless and needs to be shared. My mother was one, who went through Ellis Island in 1929. Children need to know what sacrifices were made to live in “The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.”

Wow is right…..I think we all needed some good news about how there are still decent people among us!

Excellent analysis! What’s lost in all the rhetoric about “helping” the poor is summed up in your last paragraph. While there are (and will always be) some individuals who need monetary help and assistance (those who truly cannot work because of legitimate health problems) the Democrats are trying to make everyone think he or she is in need of governmental assistance….they want a country rife with dependents. The minimum wage debate plays perfectly into this scenario, and Obama is the standard-bearer for this deception, just as he is for so many others.

It’s easy to see why people might feel so passionately about eliminating guns. After all, what’s sensationalized in the media are the gruesome details of how guns kill people. But what’s missing in this argument is that it takes a person to pull the trigger. Where are the initiatives to stop desensitizing people to violence? Why is it OK for a kid to play video games all day that reward killing? Is it any surprise that it’s considered no big deal for Hollywood to produce and profit from violence? The answer is not to eliminate guns – the answer is to no longer celebrate the violence perpetrated on others by…people! Our forefathers wrote the Constitution with the specific right to bear arms. Not just some arms, but arms. Period. One final thought: know why it’s called a “police state”? Because only the police have guns.
