Tim Graham, News Busters —   The website Ancestry.com is trying to build an appealing Obama tale…and promote business to its website, and The Washington Post and other pro-Obama media are biting like hungry fish. Washington Post reporter  Krissah Thompson  was thrilled: “President Obama’s extraordinary family story gained a new layer this week as a team of genealogists found evidence that he is most likely a descendant of one of the first documented African slaves in this country.” Underline “most likely.” They  didn’t find actual proof . “The company says it can’t establish a definitive link because of gaps in family history….The Ancestry.com findings make for a tantalizing tale that wasn’t uncommon in early colonial Virginia, and the team probably got it right, [Elizabeth Shown] Mills said. ‘They did the best job possible,’ said Mills, who reviewed the findings at Ancestry.com’s request.” But tantalized  pro-Obama media often skipped over the “did...

Writing credits are Jonathan Nolan,Christopher Nolan,David S. Goyer and Bob Kane make an unbelievable story very believable.  They even explain why Batman wears a mask.  The plot has many twist and turns and you will be surprised with every one of them. I going beyond the review.  You can get that everywhere. Did you know that this movie has several strong female leads? It’s a shame that idiot in Colorado dampened the box office and the movie.  This is more than a movie.  It is a total piece of art. There is not one character that is not three dimensional. The costume department is superb. The cinematography is beyond anything I have seen before.  Superb. The special effects are no longer special effects, now it should be called "special reality".

Obama was expected to win gold in every swimming competition at the 2012 Olympics, even though Obama does not swim. This is because when Obama enters the water, the water gets out of his way and Obama simply walks across the pool floor.

By Russ Britt, MarketWatch LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Adjustments to President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul as a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding the landmark law will result in some cost savings, and a proposed repeal of the legislation would add to the deficit. Those are findings from the Congressional Budget Office, which released two reports Tuesday examining the consequences of the Supreme Court upholding what is officially known as the Affordable Care Act, as well as the costs of the House’s July 11 measure to repeal what been called “Obamacare.” Health-care spending matters, a lot Mean Street show looks at how Americans' health-care spending has trailed off in recent years. The CBO determined that the court’s decision allowing states to bow out of planned federal Medicaid expansion would help cut costs by roughly $84 billion over the next decade. That brings down the overall price tag of the overhaul’s insurance provisions during that peri...

(Reuters) - Michigan Governor Rick Snyder on Tuesday declared an energy emergency in the state due to temporary shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel in parts of the Upper Peninsula caused by the shutdown of a pipeline in Wisconsin. The emergency declaration suspends state and federal regulations that limit hours of service for motor carriers and drivers transporting gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel to address the shortages, Snyder said in a statement. The West Shore pipeline that carries 70,000 barrels-per-day of refined products from Chicago to Green Bay in northern Wisconsin was shut for several days after a gasoline leak was found on July 17. The pipeline was restarted Saturday night. The pipeline, which is operated by Buckeye Partners LP, carries gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel and the closed section of the line started about 10 miles northwest of Milwaukee. The leak spilled about 1,000 barrels of unleaded gasoline, according to a report the company filed with the Nat...

WASHINGTON (AP) - The ranks of America's poor are on track to climb to levels unseen in nearly half a century, erasing gains from the war on poverty in the 1960s amid a weak economy and fraying government safety net. Census figures for 2011 will be released this fall in the critical weeks ahead of the November elections. The Associated Press surveyed more than a dozen economists, think tanks and academics, both nonpartisan and those with known liberal or conservative leanings, and found a broad consensus: The official poverty rate will rise from 15.1 percent in 2010, climbing as high as 15.7 percent. Several predicted a more modest gain, but even a 0.1 percentage point increase would put poverty at the highest since 1965. Poverty is spreading at record levels across many groups, from underemployed workers and suburban families to the poorest poor. More discouraged workers are giving up on the job market, leaving them vulnerable as unemployment aid begins to run out. Suburbs a...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A prisoner with Mafia ties claims he escaped because he can't get the medical treatment he needs. Derek A. Capozzi says he has had heart problems ever since he was stabbed by another inmate in 2008. Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Malloy says when Capozzi was on the lam for several days in Kentucky in 2010, he did not seek any treatment. Capozzi is set to appear Monday before a federal judge in Lexington on an escape charge. The judge has rejected his request to put up a defense that his escape was medically necessary. Capozzi is serving 55 years for his role in the 1996 killing and dismemberment of a 19-year-old woman in Massachusetts. Prosecutors say she was ordered killed by the leader of the Mafia-affiliated gang Capozzi belonged to.

This is a really rather strange decision by Apple, to pull the app “Clueful” from the Apps Store. It’s rather difficult to think of any benign reason for it. Bitdefender, the Romanian anti-virus company, created an app called Clueful, which looks at what your various apps themselves look at. Do they access your address book for example, your GPS location information and so on? This was approved by Apple and went into the Apps Store. Now it has been withdrawn again. An app that told iPhone users whether their other apps were breaching data privacy has been removed from Apple’s store in mysterious circumstances. Clueful would say if your other programmes were accessing your address book, tracking your GPS co-ordinates or farming information from social networking accounts. Neither Apple nor the app’s developers, Romanian-based Bitdefender, have revealed why, after just two months, the program has been pulled. Now why would they do that? We’d all be rather interested in who has...

In a statement, President Obama commemorated the Muslim holiday of Ramadan — calling it a time to "cherish family, friends, and neighbors, and to help those in need." "On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to Muslim Americans and Muslims around the world at the start of Ramadan," Obama said. Obama also took the opportunity to tie in the struggles of people across the Muslim world engaged in ongoing fighting related to the Arab spring uprisings that began in 2011. "This year, Ramadan holds special meaning for those citizens in the Middle East and North Africa who are courageously achieving democracy and self-determination and for those who are still struggling to achieve their universal rights. The United States continues to stand with those who seek the chance to decide their own destiny, to live free from fear and violence, and to practice their faith freely. Here in the United States, Ramadan reminds us that Islam ...

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) – A registered sex offender from Brooklyn has been arrested on charges he groped a New Jersey woman aboard a PATH train on two occasions, Port Authority police said. Gian Verdelli, 61, was arrested Monday in Jersey City by undercover officers, who identified him by using a cell phone photo the 28-year woman took of her alleged attacker after a July 3 incident. She said the same man had also groped her on June 30. The alleged serial groper would target crowded rush hour trains, naturally pressing his flesh against other passengers and molesting young women, authorities said. Verdelli is charged with two counts of criminal sexual misconduct and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Verdelli had 168 prior arrests, the majority of which were for sexual offenses, officials said. The arrest had many women who ride the PATH train concerned and outraged. “There should be laws that keep people like that in jail a little bit longer,” one ...

Police: Naked Teen Found Lying In Street Yelling ‘Bad Drugs’ OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (CBS Tampa) — A seriously injured teenager was found lying naked in the road while yelling “bad drugs.” The Broward County Sheriff’s Office told WPTV that a 17-year-old boy was found early Sunday morning lying in the street in Oakland Park. The station reports that the naked teen was “rolling on the ground” and yelling “bad drugs” and “take me.” Authorities believe he was hit by a car and was taken to North Broward Medical Center. “The doctor said it was possible he was hit by a car,” Dani Moschella, sheriff’s office spokeswoman, told the Sun-Sentinel. “Deputies found his clothes nearby.” The unidentified teenager sustained a collapsed lung, fractured left ankle and broken left collarbone, according to WPTV. The case is under investigation.

The nation’s consumer watchdog on Wednesday delivered its first enforcement action against the financial industry, fining Capital One for pressuring and misleading more than two million credit card customers. Capital One, one of the nation’s biggest banks and credit card lenders, agreed to pay $210 million to resolve a pair of regulatory cases, the latest legal setback for the financial industry. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Wall Street’s newest regulator, accused Capital One of “deceptive marketing tactics.” The credit card company — which is known for its catchy television ads, asking “what’s in your wallet” — received a regulatory rebuke for misleading card customers into buying unnecessary products like payment protection and credit monitoring, according to the consumer agency. Documents: The news release As part of the deal with the consumer bureau, Capital One must reimburse about $140 million to customers. In a separate legal action, the Office of the Compt...

Egypt's Islamists Throw Shoes and Tomatoes at Sec. Clinton's Motorcade : "And the great irony is that Sec. Clinton and Pres. Obama have given the Islamists everything they could want. Obama ended the "dumb war" in Iraq, whittled the American force in Afghanistan down considerably, used the U.S. military (and U.S. tax dollars) to get rid of Gaddafi, thus clearing the way for the Islamists. He also leaned heavily on former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, so that he would get out of the way too. Now we have Islamists running Egypt, and Sec. Clinton went there to tell the Egyptian military that they need to support the Islamists as well." 'via Blog this'

A first grade teacher explained to her class that she is a liberal Democrat. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were liberal Democrats, too. Not really knowing what a liberal Democrat was, but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands flew up into the air. There was one exception. A girl named Lucy had not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a liberal Democrat. " "Then," asks the teacher, "What are you? " "Why I'm a proud conservative Republican," boasts the little girl. The teacher, a little perturbed and her face slightly red, asked Lucy why she is a conservative Republican. "Well, I was brought up to trust in myself instead of relying on an intrusive government to care for me and do all of my thinking. My Dad and Mom are conservative Republicans, and I am a conservative Republican too. " The teacher, now angry, loudly says, "That...

President Obama has accused Mitt Romney of raking in profits from investing in companies that ship American jobs overseas, but according to his most recent financial disclosure, he and First Lady Michelle Obama have hundreds of thousands of dollars in a mutual fund that has large holdings in corporations that outsource jobs. “(Romney) invested in companies that have been called ‘pioneers’ of outsourcing,” Obama said at a Saturday campaign event in Glen Allen, Va. “I don’t want a pioneer in outsourcing. I want some insourcing.” But Obama’s own portfolio shows a willingness to invest in American corporations that have shifted employment overseas. In his most recent financial disclosure from 2011, Obama and his wife reported having between $200,000 and $450,000 in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund, which invests in the largest U.S. corporations. According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as of Sept. 30, 2011, the fund’s biggest holding was 8,272,039 shares of Apple I...

MITT ROMNEY: “The idea to say that Steve Jobs didn’t build Apple, that Henry Ford didn’t build Ford Motor, that Papa John didn’t build Papa John Pizza, that Ray Kroc didn’t build McDonald’s, that Bill Gates didn’t build Microsoft, you go on the list, that Joe and his colleagues didn’t build this enterprise, to say something like that is not just foolishness, it is insulting to every entrepreneur, every innovator in America and it’s wrong. And by the way, the President’s logic doesn’t just extend to the entrepreneurs that start a barber shop or a taxi operation or an oil field service business like this and a gas service business like this, it also extends to everybody in America that wants to lift themself up a little further, that goes back to school to get a degree and see if they can get a little better job, to somebody who wants to get some new skills and get a little higher income, to somebody who have may have dropped out that decides to get back in school and go for it.

A top surrogate for Mitt Romney on Tuesday accused the Obama campaign of being a “bunch of liars” and said “I wish this president would learn how to be an American.” Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu lambasted President Obama and his aides in a conference call with reporters. Later when asked about his criticism of the president, Sununu appeared to try to walk back his remarks. He said he meant to suggest Obama does not understand the American way of business. “The president has to learn the American formula for creating business,” Sununu said. “The American formula for creating business is not to have government create business.” Sununu’s harsh words for the president are part of an escalation in rhetoric on both sides in what is shaping up to be a tough presidential campaign. A top Obama aide last week, for example, suggested that Romney may have committed a felony – a major crime – by allegedly providing false information on federal securities forms. Fact checkers who e...

Left wing Hollywood at it again! Look up who is the villain in the new batman movie!

President Obama this weekend appeared to dash the America Dream cornerstones of hard work and self-enterprise in a pitch to exclude America’s high wage-earners from a tax break, telling successful people they “didn’t get there on your own.” Obama’s comment Friday during a campaign stop in Roanoke, Va., came just days after he urged Congress to extend tax cuts enacted during the Bush administration only to families earning less than $250,000 annually – part of his argument that the wealthy have an obligation to pay more to trim the deficit. “There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something back,” the president said. “If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. ... If you’ve got a business you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, has pledged a vote on the Obama plan by Congress’ August recess, but whether he has the votes remain unclear. A handful of De...

Obama has been criticizing Romney for outsourcing jobs while he was the head of Bain Capital. Not true but big deal. It is not the responsibility of a CEO to watch over the American economy. That is the responsibility of a President. That was and is Barack Obama’s job, regardless of the false accusations of outsourcing by Romney. And while Romney succeeded in his job of making Bain Capital successful, Obama failed in his job of improving the American economy and increasing American jobs. If Obama doesn’t have the intellect to distinguish the role of a CEO from the job of a President, how will he ever honor his promise to reduce unemployment and to improve America’s economy? Spoiled Obama went to preppy Harvard and he can’t even discern the difference between the job descriptions of the President of Bain Capital and the President of the United States. Did he even study economics there? A Harvard Degree seems an indictment rather than a mark of intellect. It is as meretriciou...

BARBERTON, Ohio (AP) - A tiny northeastern Ohio cemetery containing the unearthed headstones of 19th century Mormon settlers may grow if officials find more of the grave markers on the site of a recently closed school. The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/MfqX9W) reports that New Portage Cemetery in Barberton was fenced in about 13 years ago by local Mormon researchers, who had placed headstones there that had been found near a local elementary school. It continues to fascinate local historians who believe the eventual demolition of the now-closed school could yield even more grave stones. A cemetery for Mormon settlers was believed to be located on the site of Portage Elementary School or in its parking lot. Recently, four more headstones were delivered to local history buff Lisa Merrick by a resident who had them on his property for about a half century. The headstones came from a load of dirt the resident had gotten in the early 1960s, and they may eventually be placed in ...

PALMYRA , N.Y.  — I arrived last night at Hill Cumorah, a tiny hamlet outside of  Rochester  that is recognized as the birthplace of the Mormon religion. Every year, thousands of Mormons make the pilgrimage to Hill Cumorah for a huge pageant that celebrates their religion and its founder,  Joseph Smith , who is said to have had his encounter with the Golden Plates on this very hill. For one week in July, a 700-person spectacle recreates the discovery of the plates — which Smith translated into the Book of Mormon — and the events that the Book describes every night, with a show that  The New York Times  described  as "the G-rated version of Bonnaroo."  This year is particularly significant for the Hill Cumorah pageant, the flagship pageant for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints which takes place every year in July. First, it is the 75th anniversary of the pageant, and anniversary events commemorating past Hill Cumorah pag...
