Obama May Have Been Elected With Illegal Votes

Obama May Have Been Elected With Illegal Votes

A large number of non-citizens cast ballots in U.S. elections and it’s possible that the illegal votes were responsible for President Obama’s 2008 victory, according to an in-depth academic study that confirms Judicial Watch’s assessment that foreign nationals have helped Democrats steal elections.

Non-citizens tend to favor Democrats and Obama won more than 80% of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 sample gathered by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), a large-scale academic survey project operated by teams of researchers from across the country. In fact, enough ineligible voters cast ballots in 2008 to conceivably account for Democratic victories in a few close elections, CCES researchers found. A respected Ivy League professor is coordinator of the CCES which has produced national sample surveys, stratified by state and type of district, in every federal election since 2006. This allows the optimal study of congressional and state races as well as an ideal setting for understanding the relationship between the congressional and presidential elections.

The CCES is an esteemed and highly respected operation that recently published shocking information, gathered from big social science survey datasets, that supports Judicial Watch’s work in this area. In 2012 JW launched the Election Integrity Project, a widespread legal campaign to clean up voter registration rolls and support election integrity measures across the country. Our investigations immediately uncovered data that proved voter rolls in a number of states—including Mississippi, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Texas, Florida, California and Colorado—contained the names of individuals who are ineligible to vote.

Now the CCES confirms this, specifically that large numbers of foreign nationals vote in U.S. elections. The “participation was large enough to plausibly account for Democratic victories in a few close elections,” according to a mainstream newspaper article written by two of the political science college professors that conducted the study. “Non-citizen votes could have given Senate Democrats the pivotal 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters in order to pass health-care reform and other Obama administration priorities in the 111th Congress,” the researchers write. “Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) won election in 2008 with a victory margin of 312 votes. Votes cast by just 0.65 percent of Minnesota non-citizens could account for this margin. It is also possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for Obama’s 2008 victory in North Carolina. Obama won the state by 14,177 votes, so a turnout by 5.1 percent of North Carolina’s adult non-citizens would have provided this victory margin.”

Most non-citizens do not register, let alone vote. But enough do that their participation can change the outcome of close races, the professors confirm. More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote and some actually voted. Based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010. This is outrageous, to say that least, and illustrates the need to clean up voter rolls in this country.

“This is a major story and confirms JW’s working theory that foreign nationals illegally vote in federal elections in large numbers and have allowed Democrats, including this president, to steal elections,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “This is why the Left does not want voter ID, loves same day registration, by mail voting, etc. and craves amnesty and open borders. It is not about the Hispanic vote – it is about the illegal alien vote (and the legal alien vote), it is about stealing elections.  Makes all the talk about targeting, messaging, issues, candidates, and policy seem quaint.”

VIDEO: Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson has a Message You are Going to Want to Hear

October 31, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

Phil Robertson, patriarch of the Robertson Family of Duck Dynasty and Duck Commander fame, is known for speaking his mind. Whether it be politics or religion, or anything else for that matter, Robertson says what his on his mind. As we near the mid-term elections, one that many believe will be historic, Phil has a message.

Filmed by the evangelical group American Renewal Project, the message applies to not just Robertson fellow Louisianans, but to Americans around the country. With the future of America at stake in a battle between those who want to fundamentally transform her and break her with out of control debt and those who want to restore her to her greatness and reign in big government. It is a battle between those who are unafraid to stand up for Americans and their freedom versus those who push Americans to the side as they take a stand for illegals who have invaded our southern border.

These words from Phil Robertson should resonate and, if patriots heed his words, they will make a difference in the mid-term elections and America’s future.

 
Please share on Facebook and Twitter if you agree with Phil Robertson’s message.

Jihad in our midst: we are “willfully stupid” if we ignore it [VIDEO]

Jihad in our midst: we are “willfully stupid” if we ignore it [VIDEO]

As you know, I’ve conducted my own research and study in the history of Islam and its effects upon the world. However, I came across this video from a very astute gentleman named David Wood, who encapsulates some 1400 years of history and crystallizes it so beautifully.

I sincerely hope you’ll take the time to watch this video — and I bet you’ll watch it more than once. You can also download and print this handy leaflet, which explains the three stages of jihad. Please share it generously!

Using the backdrop of President Barack Hussein Obama’s 2009 speeches at the Turkish General Assembly and at Cairo University — where Obama demanded Muslim Brotherhood members be seated in the front center two rows – Wood explains the three stages of jihad.

 

Those three stages of jihad historically correspond with the three stages of Islam — Stealth (Mecca I, 612-622 AD), Defensive (Medina, 622-628 AD), and Offensive (Mecca II, 628 – Today). Wood is meticulous in comparing history to the modern actions we see being promulgated today and uses Islamic doctrine as stated in the Quran, Hadiths, and Sunnah to explain his analysis. It’s the most thorough and concise assessment and presentation, and it should be shared widely. Only then can we all be a part of Operation Monkey Wrench.

I already know what the detractors will be saying, but then again David Wood does an exceptional job explaining from whence those comments emanate as part of the three stages. Finally, I recommend you pass this video onto your respective elected political officials and ask them to stop allowing the infiltration to occur here in our America — such as how Qatar, the funder and sponsor of Islamic terrorists has provided millions of dollars influencing policy through the Brookings Institute.

This is the type of education and information that cultural jihadist organizations such as the Council for Islamic Relations (CAIR) do not want disseminated. As we’ve reported, they’re trying hard to purge training materials at the FBI, DoD, and local law enforcement. We cannot allow them to censor the truth from us.

Mr. Wood, if this post gets back to you, hat tip for this exceptional video and your efforts — and watch yer six brother!

Here’s Why Steve Jobs Didn’t Let His Kids Use iPads and Why You Shouldn’t Either

Here’s Why Steve Jobs Didn’t Let His Kids Use iPads and Why You Shouldn’t Either

 

If you fall within the Gen-Y era like us, chances are you’ve given a bunch of thought as to how you would raise your own children in this day and age (assuming you don’t have children already). Especially with technology, so much has changed since our childhoods in the 90s. Here’s one question: Would you introduce the technological wonder/heroin that is the iPod and iPad to your kids?

Steve Jobs wouldn’t, and for good reason too.

In a Sunday article, New York Times reporter Nick Bilton said he once assumingly asked Jobs, “So your kids must love the iPad?”

Jobs responded:

“They haven’t used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home.”

Especially in Silicon Valley, there is actually a trend of tech execs and engineers who shield their kids from technology. They even send their kids to non-tech schools like the Waldorf School in Los Altos, where computers aren’t found anywhere because they only focus on hands-on learning.

There is a quote that was highlighted in The Times by Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics and a father of five. He explains what drives those who work in tech to keep it from their kids.

“My kids accuse me and my wife of being fascists and overly concerned about tech, and they say that none of their friends have the same rules…  That’s because we have seen the dangers of technology firsthand. I’ve seen it in myself, I don’t want to see that happen to my kids.”

If our current addictions to our iPhones and other tech is any indication, we may be setting up our children for incomplete, handicapped lives devoid of imagination, creativity and wonder when we hook them onto technology at an early age. We were the last generation to play outside precisely because we didn’t have smartphones and laptops. We learned from movement, hands-on interaction, and we absorbed information through books and socialization with other humans as opposed to a Google search.

Learning in different ways has helped us become more well-rounded individuals — so, should we be more worried that we are robbing our children of the ability to Snapchat and play “Candy Crush” all day if we don’t hand them a smartphone, or should we more worried that we would be robbing them of a healthier, less dependent development if we do hand them a smartphone? I think Steve Jobs had it right in regard to his kids.

So the next time you think about how you will raise your kids, you may want to (highly) consider not giving them whatever fancy tech we’ll have while they are growing up. Play outside with them and surround them with nature; they might hate you, but they will absolutely thank you for it later, because I’m willing to bet that’s exactly how many of us feel about it now that we are older.

Attack Ad on ‘Immigration Amnesty’ Puts Karl Rove in Unexpected Camp

http://dailysignal.com/2014/10/30/attack-ad-immigration-amnesty-puts-karl-rove-unexpected-camp/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

Attack Ad on ‘Immigration Amnesty’ Puts Karl Rove in Unexpected Camp

Karl Rove’s support for what many Americans consider amnesty for illegal immigrants has put the Republican political guru at odds with The Heritage Foundation for a decade.

That’s why observers of current and past incarnations of “immigration reform” were surprised to learn of Rove’s association with a campaign ad drawing attention in a hot U.S. Senate race.

The 30-second ad was paid for by American Crossroads, a political action group largely financed by Rove, best known as chief political aide to President George W. Bush. The ad, which first aired early this month, cites a Heritage Foundation report last year on the fiscal costs of amnesty in attacking the Democratic candidate in Iowa for supporting “immigration amnesty.”

That is, the same Karl Rove who has argued against using the word amnesty to refer to legalizing illegal immigrants. Rove raised funds to pay for the ad that accuses Rep. Bruce Braley, in a tight race with Republican Joni Ernst, of favoring … amnesty.

Dan Holler, communications director for Heritage Action for America, the think tank’s advocacy arm, told The Daily Signal:

 It’s not news that amnesty is bad policy and bad politics—conservatives have been making that case for a decade. Apparently Rove now agrees. So the only question is whether the GOP will govern in 2015 the way they campaigned in 2014.

The think tank’s report documented the hundreds of billions in ever-rising cost to taxpayers of granting citizenship to millions who broke the law to come or stay here.

Rove was among amnesty backers who sought to marginalize the Heritage research paper, published May 6, 2013, which the anti-Braley ad cites.

The American Crossroads ad opens with criticism of Braley’s support for Obamacare, saying the legislation cut “over $700 billion from Medicare” and “caused Iowans to receive insurance cancellation notices.”

At 15 seconds, the narrator asks: “Why does Braley keep voting with Obama and support immigration amnesty giving those lawbreakers access to food stamps and Medicare?”

The citation “The Heritage Foundation, 5/6/13” appears on the screen in small print after the words: “Bruce Braley: Giving Lawbreakers Food Stamps and Medicare.”

Dave Weigel wrote in Bloomberg Politics:

It’s just a little jarring to see this message coming from American Crossroads. Karl Rove, who raises funds for the group, has spent more than a decade telling Republicans that they need to be careful about how they discuss immigration if they want to win Hispanic votes. “It is … important that Republicans avoid calling a pathway to citizenship ‘amnesty,’ ” Rove wrote a year ago [in the Wall Street Journal]. And here’s Crossroads, telling Iowans that any pathway to citizenship is amnesty. It’s a long, long way from the Bush presidential campaigns.

Last year, at the height of the immigration debate, Rove got a rejoinder from Heritage’s Edwin Meese in the Wall Street Journal over what the word “amnesty” meant to President Reagan, whom Meese served as attorney general among other roles.

The Daily Signal was not able to reach Rove for comment on the ad. Paul Lindsay, communications director of American Crossroads, was not immediately available for comment.

Lindsay confirmed to Talking Points Memo, however, that the ad purposefully cited the Heritage report on the costs of granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

>>> Robert Rector: White House Sells Amnesty With Dubious Economics

Rove has seen eye to eye with The Heritage Foundation on other policy issues over the years. His campaign and White House experience also made him a popular speaker at Heritage membership events after Bush left office.

In 2006, however, during Bush’s second term, Rove also assailed a Heritage paper on the scope and cost of amnesty that ended up torpedoing the immigration reform package supported that year by Bush and key members of Congress.

Robert Rector, Heritage’s senior research fellow in domestic policy, was the main author of both the 2006 and 2013 papers.

Braley’s campaign website, in a write-up on the ad, repeats incorrect assertions by left-leaning media organizations that Heritage disavowed Rector’s 2013 report and that the paper had been “debunked.”

In fact, Rector briefed scores of House and Senate members and their staffers on his findings, as National Journal reported at the time:

[Rector] has tangled with lawmakers, schooled young staffers, and been skewered by opposing policy analysts. And in the process, Rector has become the most influential outside player on what is perhaps the defining issue of the 113th Congress.

‘He’s the guy,’ said one lobbyist who has been involved with immigration negotiations and witnessed Rector’s impact. ‘He’s not afraid to push back on members, he’s not afraid to push back on staff, and he’s not afraid to tell people they’re wrong.’

Rector said of lawmakers in an interview with National Journal in June 2013:

The problem is, they are trying to move the bill so fast that no one can really understand what the issues are. There’s not a lot of understanding of the issues, and what I perceive is kind of  a race to get this bill passed before anyone really understands what its consequences are.

VIDEO: voting machines switching votes

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2014

MOLINE, IL - Up until now, stories of Illinois voting machines switching votes in have been anecdotal and blamed on voter error or calibration issues.

There is now a video of it actually happening.

A man in Moline used his phone to document how his vote for a Republican registered as a vote for the Democrat. The man wanted to vote for Republican Neil Anderson for Illinois State Senate, but when he touched Anderson’s name the vote registered for Democrat Mike Jacobs.

It wasn’t a one-time “error,” the same thing happened when he tried to vote for GOP congressional candidate Bobby Schilling. When he touched Schilling’s name, the vote registered for his Democratic opponent, Rep. Cheri Bustos.

The True Reason Gas Prices are Falling (Hint: It’s Not Because of Green Energy)

The True Reason Gas Prices are Falling (Hint: It’s Not Because of Green Energy)

American workers and motorists got some badly-needed relief this week when the price of oil plunged to its lowest level in years. The oil price has fallen by about 25 percent since its peak back in June of $105 a barrel.  This is translating to lower prices at the pump with many states now below $3 a gallon.

At present levels, these lower oil and gas prices are the equivalent of a $200 billion cost saving to American consumers and businesses. That’s $200 billion a year we don’t have to send to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other foreign nations. Now that’s an economic stimulus par excellence.

There are many global reasons why gas prices are falling, but the major one isn’t being widely reported. America has become in the last several years an energy-producing powerhouse.  And sorry, Mr. President, I’m not talking about the niche “green energy” sources you are so weirdly fixated with.

Oil prices are falling because of changes in world supply and world demand. Demand has slowed because Europe is an economic wreck. But since 2008 the U.S. has increased our domestic supply by a gigantic 50 percent. This is a result of the astounding shale oil and gas revolution made possible by made-in-America technologies like hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling.  Already thanks to these inventions, the U.S. has become the number one producer of natural gas. But oil production in states like Oklahoma, Texas and North Dakota has doubled in just six years.

Without this energy blitz, the U.S. economy would barely have recovered from the recession of 2008-09. From the beginning of 2008 through the end of 2013 the oil and gas extraction industry created more than 100,000 jobs while the overall job market shrank by 970,000.

When the radical greens carry around signs saying “No to Fracking,” they couldn’t be promoting a more anti-America message. It would be like Nebraska not growing corn.

We are just skimming the surface of our super-abundant oil and gas resources.  New fields have been discovered in Texas and North Dakota that could contain hundreds of years of shale oil and gas supplies.

Here’s another reason to love the oil and gas bonanza in America. It’s breaking the back of OPEC.  Saudi Arabia is deluging the world with oil right now, which is driving the world price relentlessly lower. The Arabs understand–as too few in Washington do–that shale energy boom is no short term fad. It could make energy cheaper for decades to come.  As American drillers get better at perfecting the technologies of cracking through shale rock to get to the near infinite treasure chest supplies of energy locked inside, we will soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the dominant player in world energy markets.

You can’t have a cartel if the world’s largest producer–America–isn’t a member. OPEC will never again be able to create the level of economic turmoil that the Arab members of OPECs engineered in the 1970s with their oil embargo. And by the way: lower oil prices place increased pressure on Iran’s mullahs to abandon their nuclear program and curb Putin’s capabilities to engage in East Europe aggression.

Yet the political class still doesn’t get it. As recently as 2012 President Obama declared that “the problem is we use more than 20 percent of the world’s oil and we only have 2 percent of the world’s proven oil reserves.”  Then he continued with his Malthusian nonsense,  “Even if we drilled every square inch of this country right now, we’d still have to rely disproportionately on other countries for their oil.” Apparently, neither he nor his fact checkers have ever been to Texas or North Dakota.  And we don’t have 2 percent of the world’s oil. Including estimates of onshore and offshore resources not yet officially “discovered”, we have ten times more than the stat quoted by the president–resources sufficient to supply hundreds of years of oil and gas.

America, in sum, has been richly endowed with a nearly invincible 21st century economic and national security weapon to keep us safe and prosperous. The plunge is gas prices is just one visible sign of this supply explosion.  Think of how much bigger this revolution could be if we started building pipelines, repealed the ban on oil exports, expanded drilling on public lands, and stopped trying to punitively tax and regulate the oil and gas.

For much of the last forty years, oil’s periodic price spikes have remained a constant threat to growth. Higher consumer energy costs as well as increased industrial production costs weighted on the economy. Now oil is one of the primary accelerators; the new big drag on the economy is politicians who despise the carbon-based industry.

Black Pastor: Gay Mayor's Attack on Christian Pastors Is 'Truly the Next Civil Rights Movement'

Black Pastor: Gay Mayor's Attack on Christian Pastors Is 'Truly the Next Civil Rights Movement'

(CNSNews.com) – The Reverend Bill Owens, founder and president of the Coalition of African American Pastors, said the attack on Christian pastors by the openly gay mayor of Houston, who subpoenaed their sermons and other communications after they opposed a city ordinance that allows transgender people to use any public restroom, signals the need for “the next civil rights movement.”

Owens, speaking from Houston,  told CNSNews.com that he and other pastors in his coalition held a press conference on Tuesday to support the Houston pastors and express their concern about this threat to religious liberty.

“Attacking ministers about what they preach is way over the line,” Owens said, adding that he thinks the action taken by Mayor Annise Parker, a lesbian,  and the city attorney is a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of freedom of religion, and church leaders need to fight back.

“This is truly the next civil rights movement,” said Owens, who operates his coalition in Memphis, Tenn.

Owens said the gay rights movement is trying to make expressing one’s Christian views on homosexuality “hate speech.”

“It’s not hate,” Owens said. “We don’t hate anyone. It’s expressing our religious beliefs.”

After the City Council passed the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance in May, a large group of Christian churches launched a petition campaign to repeal the ordinance through a ballot referendum.

The campaign got more than three times the required 17,269 signatures required and the city secretary certified the petition. But the city attorney claimed many of the pages had irregularities and disqualified the petition.

Meanwhile, the Alliance Defending Freedom, a religious liberty advocacy organization, filed a lawsuit challenging the ordinance, which city officials said triggered the subpoenas – even if the pastors are technically not party to the lawsuit.

The pastors -- Steve Riggle, David Welch, Hernan Castaño, Khanh Huynh and Magda Hermida – have gained support from Christians around the country and on Nov. 2 the Family Research Council is hosting a rally in Houston that will be live-streamed on the “I Stand Sunday” website.

Scheduled speakers include FRC President Tony Perkins, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson and his son Alan Robertson, and David and Jason Benham.

Owens said he thinks this new civil rights struggle will require the same investment by churches and church leaders that was made by Martin Luther King Jr. and others who fought to gain equal rights for all Americans regardless of their race.

“Churches need to rise up,” Owens said, adding that all faiths should be concerned about efforts to silent religious speech.

“I may not agree with all religions but I will defend their right to speak,” Owens said.

Union chief: reject Obama’s amnesty plan

Union chief: reject Obama’s amnesty plan

I find it truly hilarious when the Obama hand gets caught in the cookie jar he always tries to deflect. Well, all the signs are pointing towards Obama issuing an illegal executive order to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants — by the Constitution he cannot unilaterally make laws and rules concerning naturalization. But then again, I don’t think Obama — the venerable Constitutional scholar – has ever read the Federalist papers or understands the constitutional concept of coequal branches of government and separation of powers.

So once again we find another clue in the mystery of Obama’s illegal immigrant executive order. And it seems that another “October surprise” hits President Obama right before he heads out to campaign for folks in this critical midterm election cycle.

As reported by The Daily Caller, “the director of the union that represents the nation’s immigration officials says, “Americans must use next week’s election to reject President Barack Obama’s apparent plan to impose a unilateral amnesty for illegals. Let your voice be heard and spread the word to your neighbors…. [we] are pleading for your help – don’t let this happen,” said a statement by Kenneth Palinkas, president of the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council.”

“Whether it’s the failure to uphold the public charge laws, the abuse of our asylum procedures, the admission of Islamist radicals, or visas for health risks, the taxpayers are being fleeced and public safety is being endangered on a daily basis,” he said. “This situation is about to get exponentially worse – and more dangerous… [because a] massive unilateral amnesty is slated to be issued after the November 2014 elections,” Palinkas continued.”

This is not a call to action some GOP consultant or politician — but from the leader of the union that is the voice of our Border Patrol agents. They fully realize what the long term disastrous consequences will be for our nation. What is so commendable is they are servants of the Republic and its sovereignty – I wish that were the sentiment of our president. There can be no doubt that Obama’s goal is all part of his fundamental transformation of America — a demographic transformation.

The Daily caller reports, “the council represents 12,000 adjudicators and personnel in the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service. The appeal is one week before the midterm elections, and one week after the exposure of a government contract offer to buy up to 34 million green-cards in five years. The draft contract also required that the winning vendor be ready to deliver 9 million green cards in one year to foreigners.”

Of course this was something White House mouthpiece Josh “Not So” Earnest just attempted to laugh off as typical paperwork requests for the Department of Homeland Security.

The Daily Caller says “Palinkas said the bureaucracy isn’t allowed to properly check the bona fides of the 1 million legal immigrants who enter each year. “It is our job to ensure that terrorists, diseases, criminals, public charges, and other undesirable groups are kept out of the United States. Unfortunately, we have been blocked in our efforts to accomplish this mission and denied the professional resources, mission support, and authorities we urgently need,” he said.”

Can any of you imagine the ramifications if the Obama administration existed before the days of such advanced media methods and the ability to uncover the nefarious actions of government? Perhaps that’s just another reason why the FEC wants to now regulate blog sites because they’re tired of their backdoor actions being exposed.

We always hear the Obama administration has deported the greatest numbers of illegals in our history – that’s simply not the case. The Obama administration has changed the rules and definition of deportation — to include turning back folks at the border as a deportation.

According to the Daily Caller, “since 2009, the Obama administration has gradually rolled back enforcement of immigration law, by rewriting rules and regulations. In June 2012, for example, it forced government employees to grant residency cards and work-permit to several hundred thousand younger illegals, under the so-called “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” program. Palinkas said security standards will drop further if the Obama administration extend its unilateral amnesty plans, as Obama has suggested he will do after the election.”

Actions, which the U.S. Constitution reserves for the Legislative branch, not the Executive.

Barack Hussein Obama said his policies were on the midterm election cycle ballot. It is a “Time for Choosing” the alternatives.

Assessing Common Core

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/oct/28/kays-assessing-common-core/

Assessing Common Core: Con

Common Core is bad for students, and it’s bad for teachers, parents and state and local autonomy. It is a federal intrusion and all-encompassing leviathan that legally should not be allowed to stand, let alone wrap its tentacles around students from kindergarten until they graduate from high school and head to college.

There is no evidence national standards increase student achievement. Even if there were, we should not be using these particular standards. The Common Core State Standards are academically mediocre at best, according to professors, curriculum experts, child psychologists and many teachers. That is especially true for the younger grades — specifically, K-3 — where a mountain of information will be hammered into these young students even though there is evidence such practices do not lead to academic gains that last as students get older.

The implications of such standards are even more devastating for special-needs and English-language learners.

Tiffany Charles, an occupational therapist who works with autistic students for Sawtelle Learning Center as part of an annex program at Franklin Elementary School in Kearny, N.J., said she recently witnessed a teacher in her school struggling to teach an autistic student the moons of a planet. It was based on a lesson designed to help students pass Common Core tests. The student is a fourth-grader who cognitively functions at the level of a three-year-old. That same day, the teacher received a note from the student’s mother asking the teacher to help him learn how to pull up his pants after he uses the bathroom.

Spending enough time and effort to teach that autistic student how to use the bathroom is the difference between him being accepted or not into a day program as an adult, Ms. Charles said.

Common Core, by contrast, is “a cookie-cutter approach to education, and the creators of Common Core look at that as a positive,” said Ms. Charles. “But you’re missing the kids on either end of the bell curve, and, I am sorry, but there are a lot of kids on either end of the bell curve.”

Ms. Charles said the ability of teachers and support staff to individualize lesson plans adequately for students has all but disappeared because of Common Core. For her students, time would be better spent addressing functional skills, such as how to go out into the community and wait in line, how to make change, and how to prepare a simple meal.

“What I really, strongly feel happened is all these officials got together, and they wanted all students to be on the same page, to level the playing field,” said Ms. Charles. “They sat down and came up with this plan, and it looks great on paper, but I think they forgot about students with [individualized education programs]. They forgot about kids who legally have to be in school, but may not be going to college or trade school after they graduate.”

That’s the essence of the Common Core leviathan. As a result, Oklahoma and Indiana have repealed the standards. North Carolina, South Carolina and Missouri have adopted legislation to review the standards. A school district in Lee County, Fla., voted to opt out of Common Core testing. It rescinded the decision after being warned by officials that students would not receive standard diplomas and therefore might not be able to earn college credit.

Common Core proponents swear the standards are voluntary. They make this claim because states signed up for Common Core in hopes of winning Race to the Top federal money. Essentially, states were coerced or bribed to adopt the standards in order to make it more likely they would win money in the federal giveaway, which was essentially a raffle of taxpayers’ money.

Now the ACT and SAT are being redesigned to align with Common Core. This means even parents who put their children into private schools or home schooling will not be able to avoid the standards unless their children do not go to college. Those tests previously functioned as aptitude tests rather than achievement tests. This meant a smart student in a poverty-stricken neighborhood school could stand out and be accepted by a good college. That opportunity disappears when the SAT and ACT start testing what and how you have been taught instead of what you know.

Legally, education and curriculum are supposed to be state issues. According to the State Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, education is to be handled on the state and local level. It is not enumerated as a federal power in the Constitution.

Common Core supporters will argue standards are not a curriculum, but that’s an evasion. Standards very clearly and directly affect curriculum. It is a flimsy argument of semantics on the part of Common Core advocates.

Despite the incredible reach, and indeed stranglehold, of Common Core, there is reason for hope. The numbers of teachers, parents, officials and politicians willing to stand up and fight against Common Core are increasing each day. They are up against the federal government and those who stand to gain financially from Core-aligned testing and textbooks. Every inch of this fight is going to be difficult, but the future of education in this country depends on it, as does the future of every student who sets foot in a classroom.

Gay Marriage and Religious Freedom Cannot Coexist

Robert P. George: Gay Marriage and Religious Freedom Cannot Coexist

Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, delivering the Institute on Religion and Democracy's 2014 Diane Knippers Memorial Lecture, Washington, D.C., October 16, 2014.

WASHINGTON — Gay marriage proponents will not allow for religious freedom of their political opponents because their belief system does not allow for the fact that dissenters can be reasonable people of goodwill, Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, argued at the Institute on Religion and Democracy's 2014 Diane Knippers Memorial Lecture.

Most of those arguing in favor of redefining marriage to include same-sex couples do not understand, or even know, the arguments of those who oppose the redefinition of marriage, George claimed. They assume there are no reasonable arguments against gay marriage and those who oppose it are simply driven by hatred of gays.

Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, delivering the Institute on Religion and Democracy's 2014 Diane Knippers Memorial Lecture, Washington, D.C., October 16, 2014.

"The whole [gay marriage] argument was and is that the idea of marriage as the union of husband and wife lacks a rational basis and amounts to nothing more than 'bigotry,' reflecting animus against a certain group of people," he said. "Therefore, no reasonable person of goodwill, we are told, can dissent from the liberal position on sex and marriage, any more than a reasonable person of goodwill could support racial segregation and subordination. You've heard the analogy drawn a thousand times. And this is because marriage, according to the re-definers, consists principally of companionship — the companionship of people committed to mutual affection and care. Any distinctions beyond this one they condemn as baseless."

The idea of marriage as a conjugal relationship between a husband and wife has a long history, George explained, as a variety of philosophers and religious traditions have recognized its importance for society, including Plato, Aristotle and Gandhi. But those who wish to redefine marriage seek to throw out that rich tradition while not even understanding the arguments in favor of that tradition. Instead, he continued, they understand marriage to be simply based upon romance, but do not put forth arguments as to why government should recognize romantic relationships.

Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, delivering the Institute on Religion and Democracy's 2014 Diane Knippers Memorial Lecture, Washington, D.C., October 16, 2014.

Same-sex marriage proponents "uncritically, then, not knowing what they're rejecting, not knowing what the alternative is, conceive marriage precisely as sexual-romantic companionship or domestic partnership, laying aside, ignoring altogether, its defining social purpose, imagining somehow, I suppose, that the law has some interest in people's romantic relationships just as such. What that interest could be, none of my friends on the other side have ever managed to actually express a view about. And yet, we are told, marriage must be 'expanded,' or, in truth, redefined, or, perhaps in greater truth, abolished or replaced with, a conception of 'marriage' as sexual romantic companionship or domestic partnership, because they can't fathom how any reasonable person of goodwill can understand it in any other way," George said.

Since those proponents of redefining marriage do not know or understand the arguments in favor of the traditional definition of marriage, he continued, they jump to the conclusion that there is no rational reason to disagree with them. And since those same-sex marriage proponents view those who dissent from the liberal orthodoxy as bigots, or the equivalent of racists, they have no reason to support the religious freedom of dissenters.

While some liberals and conservatives believe there can be a "grand bargain" in which gay marriage is allowed and the religious freedom of dissenters is supported, George pointed out that he has long argued that could never be the case, because liberal secularism is a comprehensive doctrine in competition with other comprehensive doctrines.

"Liberal secularism," he said, "never was and never will be what the late John Rawls depicted it as being and hoped it would be, namely, a purely political doctrine, as opposed to what he called a comprehensive view (a view of human nature, meaning, dignity, and destiny) that competes with other comprehensive views.

"Nowhere is the reality of contemporary liberalism as a comprehensive doctrine, a secularist religion, more plainly on display than in the moral-cultural struggle over marriage and sexual morality. Liberal secularism will tolerate other comprehensive views so long as they present no challenge or serious threat to its own most cherished values. The Amish are probably safe. But when they do, they must be smashed, in the name, for example, of 'equality' or preventing 'dignitarian harm,' and their faithful must be reduced to a dhimmi-like status in respect of opportunities, in employment, contracting, and other areas, that, from the point of view of liberal secularist doctrine, cannot be made available to them if they refuse to conform themselves to the demands of liberal ideology."

There are some liberals, George added, that do still value religious freedom, tolerance and diversity who have spoken out against the liberals who have sought to punish or restrict the religious freedom of those who dissent from the liberal orthodoxy on marriage and sexuality. But he believes those tolerant liberals will ultimately lose their battle against intolerant liberals.

"Of course, there will be some within the liberal community, Rawlsians and others, who will try to make some room for meaningful dissent, even in practice and not just in thought and speech. And they will make various arguments, principled and practical, for why [liberals] should avoid being too draconian in its treatment of heretics and dissenters. But they will lose the battle," he said.

Parents Turn on Common Core

http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2014/10/28/gallup-more-parents-now-oppose-common-core-standards

Poll: Parents Turn on Common Core

Nearly two-thirds said they back national standards, but more now view Common Core negatively.

The more parents hear about the Common Core State Standards, the less they like them. 

A new Gallup poll shows that while the number of parents familiar with Common Core has remained steady since April – the last time parents were polled – an increasing number of public school parents view the standards negatively. The poll, which was conducted Sept. 16-17 and sampled 532 parents, found 35 percent of parents view the standards negatively, up from 28 percent in April. The number of parents who view them positively dropped from 35 percent in April to 33 percent, while those who had no opinion or had not heard of the standards dropped from 37 percent to 32 percent. 

[READ: Common Core Support Waning, Most Now Oppose Standards, National Surveys Show]

Most parents also still support the idea of having national education standards, although that number has slipped to 65 percent, from 73 percent in April. American parents also still mostly support using standardized computer-based tests to measure student performance, and linking teacher evaluations to student test scores.

Much of the souring attitude toward Common Core comes from stronger opposition among Republicans, wrote Gallup analyst Justin McCarthy in a report on the poll. 

The number of Republican parents who hold a negative view of the standards has jumped from 42 percent in April to a solid majority of 58 percent in September, 35 percent of whom said they had a "very negative" view of the standards. Meanwhile, opposition among Democratic parents has remained fairly stable – about twice as many view the standards positively. 

"This likely means that leaders in Republican states will continue to feel grassroots pressure to resist the standards, even if implementation proceeds apace elsewhere," McCarthy wrote. "However, without a larger proportion of Democratic parents backing the initiative, it's conceivable that serious repeal efforts could take hold anywhere."

[MORE: Common Core Status in Flux as States Debate Standards, Tests]

Many state leaders have already begun distancing themselves from the standards, particularly with elections quickly approaching. Indiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina have dropped the standards, while several others have passed bills to review or revise them. Meanwhile, leaders who once supported the standards, such as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican, have significantly reversed their positions on the standards. 

"This might not be the end of major opposition among the states," McCarthy wrote. "Common Core has been an issue in many of the gubernatorial elections taking place this November, the outcomes of which could affect how the standards are implemented – if at all."

Weather Channel Founder Explains the History of the Global Warming Hoax

March 17, 2014 By Matthew Burke

Weather Channel Founder John Coleman explains the history of the Global Warming hoax.

John Coleman, an award-winning meteorologist and weatherman with sixty years of experience and founder of the Weather Channel, produced a video explaining the history of the man-made global warming hoax (see video below). 


Coleman, a former broadcast meteorologist of the year of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), explains that after being a member for several years, he quit the AMS after it became very clear to him that “the politics had gotten in the way of the science.” Coleman explains that there is no man-made global warming, and he’s sure of it. 

Coleman says that if there were evidence of man-made global warming, he would have been dedicated his life to stopping it: 

“I love our wonderful planet Earth. If I thought it was threatened by global warming, I would devote my life to stopping the warming!”

Now they call it “climate change” instead of global warming, because the warming has stopped, says Coleman, and that $4.7 billion in taxpayer money is funding “bogus reports” and “bogus research.” 

Coleman explains that any warming or “climate change” is extremely negligible from a long-term perspective and certainly nothing unusual or alarming, and points out that Antarctic sea ice is close to an all-time high, and the polar bear population is as high as it’s been in recorded history. 

In regards to rising sea levels, Coleman says that:

“It’s rising at about the rate of about six inches per hundred years, as part of this inter-glacial period. When North America was covered in a 400 foot thick ice core at the end of the last ice age, the oceans were low, and then as that ice melted, of course the oceans have risen. That rise has been gentle and is not important.”

At about the 11:30 mark, Coleman begins a detailed explanation about just how the global warming hoax was started and heated up, including how Al Gore got involved in the movement.  WATCH BELOW: 

   

Thousands turn out to vote Sunday in Georgia

http://www.myajc.com/news/news/state-regional-govt-politics/thousands-turn-out-to-vote-sunday-in-georgia/nhsCR/?ecmp=ajc_social_facebook_2014_politics_sfp#79ed3538.3269131.735533

Thousands turn out to vote Sunday in Georgia

Thousands of voters turned out for the first widespread Sunday voting in Georgia’s history, with lines reported in several of the 11 participating counties.

DeKalb, Fulton, Athens-Clarke, Chatham and Floyd counties all experienced heavy demand during at least part of the day, with reports in at least some locations of residents lining up at least a half-hour before polls opened.

Election offices in Clayton, Dougherty, Liberty, Lowndes, McDuffie and Richmond counties also opened Sunday for voting. Richmond reported a turnout of 497 voters (compared with 265 voters on Thursday).

Fulton Elections Director Richard Barron reported 3,880 voters by 4:55 p.m. — five minutes before closing. In DeKalb, elections officials had a tally of 3,888.

Turnout overall seemed steady, although an official tally statewide will not be available until Monday.

Voters who came out seemed to experience few problems, with anecdotal evidence of only minor glitches.

At the Northside Library polling place in Atlanta’s Buckhead area, for instance, apologetic poll workers spent at least some of the afternoon having to call their central Fulton office to confirm voting identification because the site’s computerized verification system was down. The problem did not, however, affect the use of voting machines, and the steady stream of voters waiting inside seemed to take it in stride.

“I meant to come during the week but kept putting it off,” nearby resident Ellen Welsh said as she walked in. A reminder during the morning’s church service that polls would be open prompted the quick trip down the road. Asked whether she’d like the option of Sunday voting in future elections, Welsh had one word: “Definitely.”

At DeKalb’s Chamblee Civic Center, “we heard on Friday that we would be expecting a big turnout at this location,” poll manager Billie Sherrod said. “Everyone is glad to be here, the line is moving quickly and there’s good weather to stand in.”

Many voters applauded the convenience of Sunday voting, including Bonnie Sharpe, who voted at the Milton Center in Alpharetta.

“This was nice,” Sharpe said. “It was convenient and the best voting experience I’ve ever had.”

Work schedules, traffic and other commitments can interfere with voting at other times during the week, said Melanie Ligon, who cast her ballot at the Roswell Library. “I think everyone has the right to vote and not have it be cumbersome,” Ligon said. “If you’re a working person, employers sometimes frown on it when you ask to take off.”

Randy Kulamer, an auto parts distributor, knows all about the difficulties work schedules can have on voting: “I have hourly employees, and it’s hard for them to take off during the week,” he said.

While Georgia’s election laws only mandate at least one Saturday voting day during the 21-day early-voting period, it wasn’t until this year that some local officials decided to try Sundays. Fulton was the only county that also held Sunday voting last week, with a turnout of 1,507.

This week, Tawanna and Greg Seals arrived just after a polling location at the South DeKalb Mall opened at noon — only to find more than 100 people already waiting in line. Both said busy work schedules and Saturday errands involving their three children usually kept them from taking advantage of early voting. Sunday, however, “is the one day we have free,” Tawanna Seals said.

Coordinated efforts by a number of churches and civil rights groups to help parishioners get to nearby polling sites also may have boosted the day’s numbers. In Chatham County, for example, the Savannah branch of the NAACP promoted a “Souls to the Polls” effort.

With the Nov. 4 general election rapidly approaching, Democrats across Georgia also made a show Sunday of embracing the day’s voters, including appearances by former first lady Rosalynn Carter at both DeKalb and Fulton polling sites.

The effort contrasted with the Georgia GOP, which instead promoted a statewide “Super Saturday” that included rallies by candidates and a 50,000-door canvassing effort.

Other groups, including the conservative Faith and Freedom Coalition, opted instead Sunday to help distribute voting guides at area churches — an effort the group, which is based in Duluth, expects to repeat next Sunday.

Rev. Graham: Obama’s Wrong, Islam ‘Is a False Religion’

http://m.cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/rev-graham-obama-s-wrong-islam-false-religion

Rev. Graham: Obama’s Wrong, Islam ‘Is a False Religion’

(CNSNews.com) – Reverend Franklin Graham, son of world renowned evangelical pastor Billy Graham, said that President Barack Obama was “fundamentally mistaken” about radical Islam; questioned why peaceful Muslims do not collectively condemn jihadist terrorism; and argued that Islam “is a false religion” and that “it is impossible for a false religion to be a true religion of peace.”

Rev. Franklin Graham also cited examples from a speech he recently gave outside the White House, decrying the actions of followers of a “peaceful religion” who practice “female circumcision,” hijacking, kidnapping, “honor” killings, and decapitation.

Rev. Graham commended President Obama for sending some U.S. troops to fight the Islamic State but, citing Obama’s Sept. 24  speech at the United Nations where the president said “Islam teaches peace,” the reverend said, “I also believe our president is completely and fundamentally mistaken about the intolerant and violent nature of hardened Islamic followers.”

"For Muslims, peace comes only through submission to Islam,” said Rev. Graham in his November commentary for Decision magazine,  published by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.  “When they speak of peace, they mean submission to their religion. Worldwide, tens of thousands of men, women and children have been slaughtered in the name of Allah, under the bloody flag of Islam.”

Rev. Graham noted the case of Pastor Saeed Abedeni, an Iranian American who is in prison in Iran “simply because of his Christian faith, beaten and tortured for the sake of Christ by the hostile Islamic regime.”

He then quoted from his speech on Sept. 25 in Lafayette Park, across from the White House, to raise awareness about the persecution of Pastor Abedeni and about radical Islam.

“Mr. President, followers of a peaceful religion do not cut off the heads of innocent people in the barbaric fashion the world has watched recently,” Rev. Graham had said over the loudspeakers, addressing the president and the White House.

“Mr. President, believers in a peaceful religion do not kidnap 300 young schoolgirls as Boko Haram did in northeastern Nigeria in April and reportedly [sell] them to men to be sex slaves,” he said.  “Mr. President, no peaceful religion would tolerate, let alone practice, female circumcision, require a woman to have her husband’s permission to leave her home and take up employment, and restrict her ability to receive justice in the case of sex crimes.”

Rev. Graham continued, “Mr. President, a peaceful religion would not condone and allow a father to drown a daughter in a swimming pool in front of the family in the name of family honor because she might have stayed out late in the evening with her boyfriend.  Mr. President, why haven’t the 3.5 million Muslims in North America rejected this gross, barbaric and despicable behavior by their fellow Muslims on American soil?”

Rev. Graham went on to note that the “terrible acts” he cited had not been carried out by “peaceful Muslims, but by radical extremists,” but he questioned why many, “if not most” of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world have not condemned these violent acts. If a so-called Christian commits an act of terrorism, mainstream Christians “quickly and unanimously rise together to condemn it,” he said.

Noting that President Obama said radicals such as Al Qaida and Boko Haram were guided by an “ideology” that will wither and die when exposed to the public, Rev. Graham said, “That simply is not the case. Islam is not a simple ideology or philosophy.”

“It is a false religion,” he said.  “While it may contain some elements of human moralism, it is nonetheless guided and characterized by treacherous deceit.”

The reverend, who also heads the international relief group Samaritan’s Purse, said, “The blinding lies of Satan himself are the dark and sinister force ultimately behind any false religion.  … It is impossible for a false religion to be a true religion of peace, since it can never reconcile a holy God and sinful man, and it can never bring lasting peace between men or nations.”

Franklin Graham is married, has five children, and lives in Boone, N.C. His father, Rev. Billy Graham, 95, is in poor health and lives at home in Montreat, N.C. Over the years, Billy Graham preached to more than 215 million people in 185 different countries, and he wrote 31 books. For more than 50 years he has regularly been ranked among one of the most admired people in the world. He will be 96 on Nov. 7.

NC Judge Stands Up for His Beliefs in Same-Sex Marriage Fight

Sanctity of marriage and the concept of States' Rights are under attack while homosexuals look to take full advantage of the legal maneuverings occurring within the courts.

NC Judge Stands Up for His Beliefs in Same-Sex Marriage Fight

October 25, 2014 By Greg Campbell

While supporters of same-sex marriage rejoice over the recent rulings of activist courts, it is seldom mentioned in articles hailing these decisions that the Judicial Branch is overturning voter-approved measures that serve as an affirmation of the democratic process.

 

As the Supreme Court ducks and dodges a full ruling on the issue of homosexual unions, states like Oregon and North Carolina are forced to accommodate the rulings of lower federal courts that are rapidly overturning voter-approved bans on same-sex marriages. While not only the sanctity of marriage remains under attack, the concept of states’ rights remains under attack simultaneously.

However, it is not only a theoretical state-federal squabble, but a very-real battle over the issue of marriage that has spilled-over into the private sector. Throughout the country, there are countless examples of small businesses being forced to provide flowers, cakes, photography and other goods and services to homosexuals looking to take full advantage of the legal maneuverings occurring within the courts.

Many have opted to close-down shop rather than bend to the will of bullies. In North Carolina, a judge has stepped down from his prestigious position out of protest.

On October 10^th, 2014, North Carolina’s voter-approved ban on homosexual marriage was overturned by the Fourth Circuit Court. Last week, Swain County Magistrate Judge Gilbert Breedlove resigned from the bench upon which he sat for 24 years rather than be forced into violating his principles.

“It was my only option,” Breedlove said. “We were directed we had to perform the marriages, and that was just something I couldn’t do because of my religious beliefs.”

“I was Christian when I started,” said Breedlove. “Then, the law didn’t require me to perform something that was against my religious belief. Now that law has changed its requirements.”

Whether one is a supporter or opponent of the legalization of same-sex marriage, the issue has been irreparably marred by an “ends justify the means” mentality that has skirted gaining public approval in favor of ramming activist court rulings down the throats of Americans who have largely rejected the legalization of homosexual marriage by approving bans in 32 states.

The result has been a secular crusade against Christians and other persons opposed to the adulteration of the concept of marriage via the legalization of homosexual unions.

While it certainly is a shame that Judge Breedlove was offered the choice between dogmatically following the orders of activist courts and violating his principles, the fact that he did not bend to the will of judicial bullies shows a strength of character and should inspire others who wonder if there are still people of principle within the Judicial Branch.

Charles Barkley: ‘UNINTELLIGENT’ blacks keep successful blacks down by saying they need to be THUGS

Charles Barkley: ‘UNINTELLIGENT’ blacks keep successful blacks down by saying they need to be THUGS

Posted on October 25th, 2014

Charles Barkley is unafraid to tell the black community something they sorely need to hear out of more black leaders.

Watch below:

From the Daily Caller:

While appearing on “Afternoons with Anthony Gargano and Rob Ellis,” Barkley was asked about a rumor that Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson was getting criticism from his black teammates for not being, quote, “black enough.”

Barkley went on a long monologue on the subject: ”Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you’re black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It’s a dirty, dark secret; I’m glad it’s coming out.”

Barkley said that young black men who do well in school are accused of “acting white” by their peers. “One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person. And it’s a dirty, dark secret.”

“There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don’t have success,” he continued. “It’s best to knock a successful black person down because they’re intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they’re successful…”

“We’re the only ethnic group who say, ‘Hey, if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.’ It’s just typical BS that goes on when you’re black, man.”

Wow. I love this. God bless Charles Barkley. Can you imagine if Obama was as honest with the black community? Now there’s a pipedream.

New Evidence in Fast and Furious Scandal Reveals Why Eric Holder and Valerie Jarrett Should Both be in Jail

New Evidence in Fast and Furious Scandal Reveals Why Eric Holder and Valerie Jarrett Should Both be in Jail

October 24, 2014 By Matthew Burke

New evidence obtained by government watchdog group, Judicial Watch, reveal that Obama’s most trusted and loyal adviser, Valerie Jarrett, was managing Eric Holder’s lies told to Congress in the Obama-Holder illegal Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, in which the regime was funneling American-made weapons into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. 

The scheme, which was intended to sucker Americans into giving up more of their Second Amendment Rights, resulted in the death of U.S. border patrol agent Brian Terry, as well as reportedly hundreds of Mexican citizens. 

Only after Judicial Watch sued the Obama Regime did they turn over this latest information which ties Jarrett to the subsequent lies and cover-up following the deadly scandal. A federal court ordered the Obama Department of Justice to turn over the records over the objection of the bureaucracy. 

Previously, the secretive regime refused to turn over the requested Fast and Furious records, even after Judicial Watch filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). 

Buried deep in the 1,000-plus pages of records secured by Judicial Watch was the fact that Jarrett, who many have said is as close to Obama as no other person on the planet, was brought into the fray to manage Holder’s lies about the gun-running operation. 

From the Judicial Watch report: 

The files received by JW include three electronic mails between Holder and Jarrett and one from former U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke to Jarrett. The e-mails with Holder are all from October 4, 2011, a significant date because, on the evening of October 3rd, Sheryl Attkisson (then at CBS news) released documents showing that Holder had been sent a briefing paper on Operation Fast and Furious on June 5, 2010. The paper was from the director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, Michael Walther.

This directly contradicted Holder’s May 3, 2011 testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, during which he stated that he, “probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.” The October 4, 2011 date may also be significant because it came shortly after the August 30, 2011 resignation of U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke and reassignment of acting ATF director Kenneth Melson to the position of “senior forensics advisor” at DOJ.
