ELECTIONS ARE COMING: WHAT TO LOOK FOR TODAY SEE NOTE PLEASE

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/06/what-to-watch-in-todays-voting-contests-3/

EVEN WITH A REPUBLICAN OUSTING OBAMA…..THE SENATE IS KEY…..WITHOUT A REPUBLICAN MAJORITY NOTHING WILL BE REPEALED, AMENDED OR PASSED…..STAY TUNED…

Voters take to the polls to cast their ballots in Arizona, Maine, Virginia, Nevada, North Dakota

1.) ARIZONA CONGRESS

The race to fill the seat left open by the retirement of former Rep. Gabby Giffords, who stepped down from Congress in January, takes place today in Arizona’s 8th congressional district. Ron Barber, Giffords’ former district director, and Jesse Kelly, a former marine who also ran against Giffords in 2010, will face off in the Republican-leaning district. Polling shows Barber in the lead but the race is far from certain.

2.) MAINE

When Republican Senator Olympia Snowe announced her decision to retire in February, the Senate map for Democrats briefly looked very exciting. Maine is considered to be a relatively blue state, and the state boasted a deep bench of potential Democratic contenders. But both parties were thrown for a loop when former Independent Gov. Angus King announced he would be jumping in the race. With many assuming King would ultimately end up caucusing with the Democrats (King has so far refused to commit to either party,) the more-well known Dems in the state opted not to enter the race, while Republicans continued to enter in droves. Six Republicans and four Democrats are on the ballot today, with an interesting three-way race soon to follow.

3. VIRGINIA, NEVADA AND NORTH DAKOTA

What do Virginia, Nevada and North Dakota have in common? They’re all states with closely-watched, tightly contested Senate races this fall. With Democrats holding onto the narrow majority in the Senate, Republicans are hoping to potentially pick-up seats in Virginia and North Dakota, while Democrats are hoping to pick one up in Nevada.

VIRGINIA: A RACE BETWEEN MICKEY MOUSE AND DONALD DUCK….TIM KAINE IS A DEMOCRAT HACK AND GEORGE ALLEN IS A DOOFUS…HOWEVER…WE NEED THE SEAT IN THE SENATE.

NORTH DAKOTA: HEIDI HEIDKAMP (D) REP. RICK BERG (R) http://www.bergfornorthdakota.com/view/

DANIEL GREENFIELD: ISRAEL’S HEROISM

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

“The world was created in six days and on the seventh day we rest. But there is no rest for Israel. Not before the war and not after. Not after the treaties that were supposed to end the grievances of war. No victory or peace treaty can begin or end history, they can only change the difficulty of survival, the conditions under which the ordinary heroism of the everyday life is expressed by going on despite the will of those who want to kill us that we should not. Survival is the final victory.”

Israel’s military victories were never the results of an inspired military or political leadership. While the anniversary of the Six-Day War has led to an outpouring of adoration for the usual suspects; the khaki-garbed generals striding victoriously through a carefully cropped photo, even if one of them had come down with a nervous breakdown not long before, Israeli generals have never been geniuses, the best-known ones have carried their own press releases into battle, and have walked a fine line between daring and criminal incompetence. Their victories were won for them by the men in the field, who survived to carry out their operations.

Judging the Damage From Obama’s Leaks By Jed Babbin

http://spectator.org/archives/2012/06/11/judging-the-damage-from-obamas It’s above all a national security issue. Gov. Romney cannot remain silent about that. The flood of classified information coming out of the Obama White House has grown so large — and the leaks so important — that last week there was a bipartisan call for an investigation into the White House’s apparent involvement.

DAVID “SPENGLER” GOLDMAN: THE MUSLIM REVOLUTION HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

The Muslim revolution ‘hiding in plain sight’ By Spengler http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/NF12Ak02.html “The great and still ongoing declines in fertility that are sweeping through the Muslim world most assuredly qualify as a “revolution” – a quiet revolution, to be sure – but a revolution in which hundreds of millions of adults are already participating: and one which […]

JANET LEVY: WHO IS RUNNING THE SHOW? PLEASE READ IT ALL ****

The Muslim Brotherhood is well entrenched throughout the government and government agencies at the federal, state and local levels. They have taken hold of the FBI, the DHS, the military, the State Department, and other government organizations. The Muslim Brotherhood determines U.S. counterterrorism policy and its operatives meet regularly with Janet Napolitano as well as the Department of Justice staff.

Recently, the DoJ joined the Muslim Brotherhood in an investigation of NYPD counterterrorism interventions that have protected Americans from jihadist attacks. Ask yourself why Major Hasan’s trial has been delayed and why he hasn’t received the death penalty almost three years after he committed the Fort Hood massacre? Also, why has Hasan’s murderous rampage been officially designated as “workplace violence” and ‘nothing to do with Islam?’ What about the order to destroy the cell phone videos taken by Pfc. Lance Aviles showing Hasan shouting “Allahu Akbar” and Hasan’s private business cards that identified him as a “Soldier of Allah, Glory to G-d” or SoA(SWT)? Why were two Al Qaeda fundraisers – Al Munia and Muntasser – just set free? How was the federal judge in this case able to rule that references to Osama bin Laden were off-limits during their criminal trial?

LT. GENERAL JOHN KELLY, US MARINE CORPS: A TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN ****

http://www.thesandgram.com/2012/05/24/memorial-day-one-speech-that-sums-it-up-for-me/

In February 2012, Gold Star Families of 109 Marines, soldiers, sailors or airmen lost in Iraq or Afghanistan since 9/11 came to the Marines’ Memorial Club in San Francisco to network with each other and to help each other with the grieving process. In the past seven years, we have worked with more than 600 Gold Star families.

This year, we invited Lieutenant General John Kelly, USMC to speak to the Gold Star families. Gen Kelly and his wife, Karen, are also Gold Star parents, having lost their son, 2ndLt Robert Kelly USMC, on 9 November 2010 in Afghanistan. Here are LtGen Kelly’s remarks:

I never met any of your loved ones… your sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and spouses. I also don’t know how you came to know they were lost in the wars waged today and over the last ten years in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen and dozens of other locations around the world. I don’t know the details, but the stories are ultimately all the same. Most often it started with a knock on the door, or a ring of the doorbell in the early morning hours by a casualty officer who’d been sitting outside your house waiting anxiously for hours for the first lights to come on. He dreaded the mission he’d been assigned that day. He was not glad to be there, but he was privileged to be there as the duty is a sacred one. It is an honor to be called to do it. Most often the casualty officer is a complete stranger. Sometimes he’s your best friend. The minute you saw him standing there framed in the doorway you knew…you knew without being told…before he uttered his first words…you knew.
