Cause of death: no father
Today, Boudreau is serving a life sentence. She confessed to murdering
Karissa—she wanted to save her faltering relationship with her
boyfriend, she told the court, and he’d told her that she would have to
choose between him and the child—and described in quiet detail her
daughter’s final moments. (“Mommy, don’t,” Boudreau says, were Karissa’s
last words, as Boudreau straddled her chest and strangled her with
twine.)

On Gay Adoption, S.E. Cupp is Out to Lunch
So when they “adopt,” they typically have to put a bunch of people through the mud fight that my dear friend Janna
endured: they have to drag the opposite-sex parent to family court,
strip him or her of custody, and then force the poor little kid to
submit to the parental authority of a new, sometimes creepy, person
who’s sleeping with a biological parent and very likely caused the
breakup of that child's original family.

That’s the default that opened the age of fiat money
Hmmm. What could account for that? Could it be the last broadcast of the
“Lawrence Welk Show?” Or the blast off of the Apollo 14 mission to the
Moon? Or could it have something to do with the mysterious D.B. Cooper,
who bailed out of the plane he hijacked, never to be seen again? A
timeline of 1971 offers so many possibilities. But, say, what about the
possibility that it was in the middle of 1971, in August, that America
closed the gold window at which it was supposed to redeem in specie
dollars presented by foreign central banks. That was the default that
ended the era of the Bretton Woods monetary system.

Harry Reid's Long, Steady Accretion of Power & Wealth
That isn’t the only problematic land deal Reid was involved with at the time. In 2002, he put
$10,000 into a pension fund controlled by another friend, Clair
Haycock. The payment gave Reid a sizable parcel of land in Bullhead
City, Ariz. According to the Los Angeles Times, Reid purchased the land
for one-tenth of its estimated value (and one-fortieth of what it had
sold for a decade earlier). Two actions created suspicion afterward.
First, Reid sponsored an $18 million earmark for a bridge that would
connect Laughlin, Nev., and Bullhead City. This bridge would likely
increase property values in the area. Reid also introduced legislation
that would benefit Haycock’s lubricant company. Reid aides denied that
his support for the earmark or lubricant dealer bill was related to the
land purchase. By 2011, Reid’s initial $10,000 investment was valued at
between $250,000 and $500,000. The property did not appear in his 2012
disclosure.

Kneecapping Reform in Texas
And
of course, the legislators who reacted with the greatest fury were
those such as state Rep. Jim Pitts who were caught with their hand in
the cookie jar. Pitts, a powerful legislator who chaired the House
Appropriations Committee, and who authored the impeachment resolution
against Hall, subsequently announced that he was retiring after National Review correspondent
Kevin Williamson reported that Pitts had pulled strings to get his
unqualified (and previously-rejected) son admitted to UT law school.

Bankers are Behind the Wars
George
Bush’s grandfather [and George H.W. Bush's father], the late US senator
Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that
profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi
Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

One reason Astor excelled was that he accepted the Indians as they were, not as he wanted them to be.
Astor surpassed the government factories and emerged as the leading exporter of furs in the United States. By the 1820s, his American Fur Company employed more than 750 men, not counting the Indians, and collected annual fur harvests of about $500,000, which made it one of the largest companies in America.

Kelo Decision A Rousing Success
But after prompting city officials to pave the way for its new research facility with the promise of tax revenue and new jobs for the city, Pfizer pulled out of New London in 2009, leaving the land undeveloped, the homeowners dispossessed, their homes demolished, the land bulldozed into a vacant lot that still sits empty. After being elected in 2011, New London’s mayor called it “black stain” on the town’s reputation in an apology to the homeowners.

Davis’ involvement in a matter the FBI is investigating. This is a serious ethics issue that may violate federal law and cannot be swept under the rug, as Sen. Davis has tried to do when confronted with questions about her ethics thus far.”

The Coming Real Estate Hyperpocalypse: All YOUR Fault!
For most of postwar history, a house cost about 1.5 to 2.5 times more than a person earned in a year. Today, even after the much-whined-about correction, it is more than four times as much. In 1940 the median U.S. income was $1,368; and the median house price was $2,938, a little more than double the income figure. In 1960 the income figure was $6,200, while the house price was $17,200, 2.77 times as much. In 1980 the ratio was 1/2.62, with income at $18,000 and house price at $47,200.

Add to this the recently discovered fact that Senator Harry Reid's former assistant and friend Neil Kornze is now head of the BLM due to Reid's influence, and the fact that Harry Reid and his family are reaping financial rewards by driving farmers from all over the region where Cliven Bundy's ranch sits while arranging land deals with Chinese solar companies, and one has to ask, why should Bundy pay any of his hard earned money to the federal government when they are just going to use it to bulldoze his cattle and make Harry Reid more rich?

BREAKING: Emails Show Lois Lerner Fed True the Vote Tax Information to Democrat Elijah Cummings
New IRS emails released by the House Oversight Committee show staff working for Democratic Ranking Member Elijah Cummings communicated with the IRS multiple times between 2012 and 2013 about voter fraud prevention group True the Vote. True the Vote was targeted by the IRS after applying for tax exempt status more than two years ago. Further, information shows the IRS and Cummings' staff asked for nearly identical information from True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht about her organization, indicating coordination and improper sharing of confidential taxpayer information.

A Good Samaritan who desperately tried to save a young newly wed after he was gunned down has relived his dying moments and revealed she thinks the seemingly senseless killing was a gang initiation.
Devoted Catholic Nathan Trapuzzano was shot while he was out on his regular, early morning stroll just a few hundred yards from the home where he lived with his pregnant wife Jennifer - who is due to give birth to a baby girl next month.

Climate scaremongers are still twisting the evidence over global warming
They will wonder why there was such a panic over a 0.4 per cent rise in global temperatures between 1975 and 1998, when similar rises between 1860 and 1880 and 1910 and 1940 had given no cause for concern. They will see these modest rises as just part of a general warming that began at the start of the 19th century, as the world emerged from the Little Ice Age, when the Earth had grown cooler for 400 years.

The Unemployment Puzzle: Where Have All the Workers Gone?
Baby boomers can't be the whole story, though, since the participation rate has declined for younger workers too. This part of the drop is a function of various factors, including simple discouragement, poor work incentives created by public policies, inadequate schooling and training, and a greater propensity to seek disability insurance. Globalization and technological change have also reduced employment and wage growth for low-skilled workers—which raises questions about whether current policy is focused enough on helping workers to achieve the skills necessary to work productively and earn decent incomes.

In late February, four federal agents carrying side arms with a drug-sniffing dog descended on the Taos Ski Valley in what was called a “saturation patrol.”
Authorities were working on tips of possible drug selling and impaired driving in the ski resort’s parking lot and surrounding area.
But the agents weren’t from the FBI, ATF or even the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Rather, the agents represented the U.S. Forest Service.

First they called her a terrorist threat.
When she turned out to be an unarmed suburban mother, they said she was on drugs.
Now, WND has exclusively learned, without a trace of doubt, that was wrong, too.
WND can also now report Miriam Carey was shot in the back of the head by U.S. Capitol Police officers and uniformed Secret Service agents six months ago, on Oct. 3, 2013.

A Neglected Masterpiece of Economic Analysis
I recently read a book titled Banking and the Business Cycle: A Study of the Great Depression in the United States,
by C. A. Phillips, T. F. McManus, and R. W. Nelson. It was originally
published by Macmillan in March 1937, later became a hard-to-find,
almost-forgotten book, and in 2007 was reissued by the Mises Institute
in an inexpensive paperback edition.

University of Leicester physics students says Noah’s Ark would have floated with two each of 35,000 species of animal
His colleague Benjamin Jordan added: “Using the dimensions of the ark
and the density of the water, we were able to calculate its buoyancy
force, which, according to Archimedes’ principle, is equal to the weight
of the volume of fluid the object displaces. This meant we were then
able to estimate the total mass the ark could support before the
gravitational weight would overcome the buoyancy force, causing the ark
to sink, which we calculated as 50.54x106kg.”

Exposing the Myths of Recreational Sex
A major contributor to today’s promiscuous culture is the unlevel playing field – 57% of students in college are women. In her Weekly Standard article about this situation, Charlotte Allen explained that the sexual revolution was supposed to do away with the double standard, but there is a harsher, more cruel double standard now – a supply-saturated, short-term sexual marketplace. Students at Yale University have a sad term for it now – SWUG-Nation, with "SWUG" standing for "Senior Washed Up Girls."

Food Deserts: Bad News for Obama’s Antiobesity Effort
With the obesity epidemic in full swing and millions of
American living in neighborhoods where fruits and vegetables are hard to
come by, the Obama administration thought it saw a solution: fund
stores that will stock fresh, affordable produce in these deprived
areas.
But
now, three years and $500 million into the federal Healthy Food
Financing Initiative, there's a problem: A study suggests it's not
working.

"Unfortunately, more fresh food closer to home probably does nothing for folks at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. Obesity levels don’t drop when low-income city neighborhoods have or get grocery stores. A 2011 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed no connection between access to grocery stores and more healthful diets using 15 years’ worth of data from more than 5,000 people in five cities. One 2012 study showed that the local food environment did not influence the diet of middle-school children in California. Another 2012 study, published in Social Science and Medicine, used national data on store availability and a multiyear study of grade-schoolers to show no connection between food environment and diet. And last month, a study in Health Affairs examined one of the Philadelphia grocery stores that opened with help from the Fresh Food Financing Initiative. The authors found that the store had no significant impact on reducing obesity or increasing daily fruit and vegetable consumption in the four years since it opened."

substantive due process ... Justice Louis Brandeis
The court applied a 14th Amendment doctrine known as "substantive due
process," under which it had invalidated a series of state and local
regulations. In dissent, Justice Louis Brandeis argued against that
doctrine:
We may strike down the statute which embodies it on the ground that, in our opinion, the measure is arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable. We have power to do this, because the due process clause has been held by the Court applicable to matters of substantive law as well as to matters of procedure.
