WV Gazette: Obama's EPA clears 42 of 48 new mountaintop removal mining permits

"Take immediate action to stop the bulldozers"

"Because it appears that EPA is unwilling to intervene, it is now
imperative that the White House Council on Environmental Quality take
immediate action to stop the bulldozers," [Carl Pope of Sierra Club]
said in a prepared statement. "The Obama administration should take
swift action to fix the flawed 'fill rule' that enables this type of
devastating mining and should act decisively to save the mountains,
rivers and communities of Appalachia."

politico: Palin camp eyed Clinton alliance

"It was a women thing and not a Hillary thing," said Coale [Greta's
husband], who was angered at what he saw as sexism aimed at Clinton
during last year's campaign and who has long taken an interest in
promoting female politicians.

politico: Obama morphing into Hillary?

Primary voters will recall Clinton and Obama endlessly debating [a
mandate on health insurance], with Clinton accusing Obama of leaving
about 15 million people without health care and Obama warning voters
that Clinton's plan would require "harsh, stiff penalties on those who
don't purchase it."

politico: Birther civil war

The vast, but rather low-impact, movement of people who believe
(without evidence) that Barack Obama was born outside the United
States appears — in the way of such movements — to have developed its
own internal divisions.

In particular, its East Coast faction, led by lawyer Philip Berg, has
filed suit against its West Coast chief, Orly Taitz, accusing her of
libel and other crimes for, among other things, calling Berg a
"shyster."

politico: Palin receives deluge of ethics complaints [legal defense fund set up]

"[T]he number of ethics complaints filed against the governor and her
staff — as well as the tortured logic they contain — continue to
constitute the most disturbing trend in Alaska politics," said Palin
spokeswoman Sharon Leighow [....]

"In the past several months, we have seen an orchestrated effort by
the governor's opponents to make differences of opinion and ideology
almost criminal," said Mike Nizich, the governor's chief of staff, in
a statement. "Governor Palin has spent a considerable amount of time
and money fighting ethics complaints – and no charge has been
substantiated. I hope that the publicity-seekers will face a backlash
from Alaskans who have a sense of fair play and proportion. I served
six previous governors, and I've never seen anything like the attacks
against Gov. Palin."
....
"Over the past months it became increasingly clear that supporters of
Gov. Palin needed to help defend against the onslaught of frivolous
attacks against her," said Trustee Kristan Cole,
....

To avoid additional accusations of impropriety, the fund set an
unusually low, self-imposed cap of $150 per donation. It also
volunteered to disclose the names and dollar amounts of each donor,
leading Cole to call it "one of the most restrictive and transparent
legal funds in history."

Three days later though, another ethics complaint was filed — this
time against the legal defense fund itself.

An Eagle River resident who had recently joined a federal lawsuit
against Palin for failing to issue a proclamation commemorating the
Juneteenth emancipation holiday in 2007, complained that Palin is
misusing her office and receiving improper gifts by setting up the
fund, accusing the governor of intending to raise much more than she
needs to pay her legal debts.

LAT: EASY POST Hillary Clinton worried about looking 'too feminine' in Vogue? Hard to imagine

"The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be
taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying." [said

Atlantic: Valuating Clinton's Base

There's a hardcore attitude held by some Clinton backers, and
retaining the ability to communicate with them would be valuable...I'm
going out on a limb to predict Clinton defeats a plucky Jim Webb and a
resurrected Howard Dean ... for the Democratic nomination in 2016.

Media Malpractice announcement on Meetup message board:

The shocking new John Zeigler film, “Media Malpractice - How Obama got Elected”, is scheduled for a showing in New York.

http://www.howobamagotelected.com/

John Ziegler has documented from start to finish how in the tank the media was with Barack Obama in his film Media Malpractice: How Obama got Elected and Palin was Targeted.

Mr. Ziegler, who describes himself as a libertarian and was once a talk-show hosts, used his own money to finance the project that details the rise of Barack Obama from a no-name first term U.S. Senator to President of the United States…with the complete help and what appears to be coordinated effort of the Main Stream Media.

John Zeigler will attend this showing in person and answer questions following the show.

What people are saying:

“I showed your DVD to my students in “rhetoric.” They were left: “speechless.” The underbelly of the media had never been exposed to them. Keep up the great work. The MSM is no match for you.” ~Jack

“What you have done with this documentary is to show exactly how the media can demonize a person or group and how easily they can sweep proper journalism under the carpet…” ~Johann

“I just viewed your film. You nailed it! You covered PERFECTLY: The Wright issue, Bill Clinton’s so-called “Fairytale” comment, Hillary’s response to the Muslim question & how she was set up and more. The General Election coverage was spot-on too. You managed to showcase what we witnessed without injecting yourself into it. Well done!!” ~TPT/NY (PUMA)

“The bias was overwhelming, and you made a very accurate and solid case. I already knew what was going on, but I’m glad to see someone take the immense time and effort to put it all together. I’ve seen reports of single instances of bias, but have never seen anything that showed the consistent bias over more than a two year period.” ~Drew W.
