GOP senators introduce bill to suspend Jones Act

Subject: txt hots grn engry -
In response to Obama's refusal to waive the Jones Act, three GOP senators introduced legislation Friday to ease the passage of foreign ships in the Gulf of Mexico to help with the oil spill cleanup. The bill, sponsored by Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and George LeMieux (R-Fla.), would remove an obstacle for foreign vessels to travel between U.S. ports to provide needed assistance. The Jones Act, a protectionist law passed in 1920, restricts the movement of foreign ships without a waiver...

Britain's biggest wind farm companies are to be paid not to produce electricity when the wind is blowing.

Catching up on an item from last week on the Tuesday, June 8, NBC Nightly News, correspondent Tom Aspell portrayed the residents of Gaza as living through a life prison sentence imposed by Israel:

"Israel's blockade on Gaza isn't just about preventing goods from getting in, it's about preventing 1.5 million Palestinians from getting out. It sentences them to life inside a 140-square-mile prison."

Anchor Brian Williams set up the piece:

American's Don't Want Justice Department Challenge of Arizona Immigration Law

Subject: txt immig - Most
The Obama administration has reportedly decided to challenge Arizona’s new immigration law in federal court, but a recent Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% of U.S. voters oppose such a challenge.

Just 26% believe the Justice Department should challenge the legality of Arizona’s law in court. Eighteen percent (18%) are undecided in the survey conducted May 26 and 27.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters, in fact, favor passage of a law like Arizona’s in their own state.

When asked specifically about the chief provision of the Arizona law, support is even higher. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters believe a police officer should be required to check the immigration status of anyone stopped for a traffic violation or violation of some other law if he suspects the person might be an illegal immigrant.

Arizona voters support the state's new immigration law more than ever, with 71% in favor of it.

Obama's Means to the Immigration Reform End

Subject: txt immig crpt bdd hots -
President Obama is playing Russian roulette with the lives of Americans to pass his Immigration Reform bill. This past Friday Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona told Arizona Tea Party members in this video how he and President Obama had a discussion, one on one, concerning the need to secure the border. Kyl went on to explain to the attendees what Obama said to him.

"‘The problem is,' (Obama) said, ‘if we secure the border then you all won't have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.' In other words they're holding it hostage," State Senator Kyl added.

"They don't want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with comprehensive immigration reform."

Yet again the ends justify the means when it comes to President Obama and his Saul Alinsky disciples. Certainly Obama's administration will say this exchange did not occur. They will return to name calling and pointing blame to Senator Kyl. It is truly par for the course. Yet, how could one not believe this when Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed they would do whatever it took to pass health care reform, whether it be pole vaulting over a fence or parachuting in?

Should the American people be faced with another attack on our soil I know in who's direction I will be looking for accountability: President Barack Obama.

Tough times don't last; tough people do.

"My hope is that these stories provide some inspiration for you or make you remember why our capitalist economic policies and truly American way of life is the answer,"

Cohoat wrote in his first chapter, titled ‘Why This Book? Why Now?'

Cohoat characterized Elkhart County, in the northern part of the state near South Bend, as a hard-nosed area able to take care of itself. His portrayal stands in contract to the national media's portrayal of the county as the "poster child for all that is bad with our economy"...

Newsweek Intern Assigned to Review Glenn Beck Book Admits She Only Read 10 Pages

Subject: txt hots msm bias fnn -
When reviewing a bestselling book, it is customary to read it first. Apparently Princeton doesn't teach that tidbit in its journalism classes anymore, as Newsweek intern (and Princeton student) Isia Jasiewicz decided she would attempt a review after reading only the first 10 pages--a fact she mentions in the last paragraph.

Does Newsweek really have such disdain for Beck that it would not only assign an intern to review what is sure to be this week's #1 New York Times bestseller (it came out Tuesday), but would print a review of a book the author didn't actually read?

The review attempts to contrast Beck's new thriller with Friedrich Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom," which Beck recently promoted on his show, and which has skyrocketed up the charts since. But given the many mistakes and assumptions Jasiewicz makes about the latter book, it seems she may not have made it past page 10 of that one either...

Stopping progress, not stopping the spill

Subject: txt grn engry -
Sixty-one days have passed since the blowout at Deepwater Horizon, and as the spill worsens, so does the political gamesmanship and government-led bungling of the recovery effort. Take President Obama's proposed six-month moratorium -- not only for new deep-water drilling permits, but for all existing drilling. The White House justified the proposal on the basis of a report produced by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, which touted the peer review of seven experts identified by the National Association of Engineering.

The only problem? The report they reviewed did not include such a moratorium on existing drilling and, as the Wall Street Journal reported, the experts fear the decision would set the stage for greater environmental and economic calamity.

Instead, the White House claims the experts were only brought in to look at the document on a technical basis, and that the moratorium was a more "comprehensive" approach. Obama's environmental czar, Carol Browner, declared that "No one's been deceived or misrepresented." Salazar has since testified that the idea to impose the moratorium was his.

That would make this an explicitly political decision rather than a technical one, and given the subject matter, a dangerous one...

MSNBC: Americans Are The Enemy Due To Oil 'Addiction'

[Meanwhile, in our professional media {with Pulitzer winning columnists, of course}:]

"One of the differences between the '50's when Sputnik was launched and now, that was a battle against Communism. It's always much easier to rally Americans against an external threat, an external enemy.

The Real Detroit Three Stories in JD Power’s Latest Initial Quality Report: Ford’s Ascension, GM’s Deterioration

When it comes to the performance of the U.S.-headquartered Detroit automakers once known as the Big Three, the real news in the J.D.
