(AyPee) Court rules against disclosure of WH visitor list
WASHINGTON A federal court was it? Yes, I see, here it is.
A federal appeals court has ruled that White House visitor logs for the president and most of the White House staff are not public information. Would that be the same 'people's house' which they [the people] can no longer visit ?
The 3-0 decision would keep the visitor records confidential for up to 12 years after President Barack Obama leaves office. And the purpose would be ?
The appeals court ruling deals a defeat to a private group that asked the Secret Service for all White House visitor logs from Obama's first seven months in office. Takes the bloody F right out of FOIA now doesn't it ?
The appeals court says Congress made clear that it did not want documents like the appointment calendars of the president and his close advisers to be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. I somehow don't recall disclosure having been a problem previously. The gov't monitoring of hundreds of millions of US Citizen e-mails and cellie conversations continues to be quite alright ?
A conservative-oriented watchdog group that sought the records says it is considering an appeal. More fallout from the Lois Lerner IRS failures, these pesky conservative groups.

[PROVIDENCEJOURNAL] -- President Barack Obama released a video message congratulating American Muslims on the many achievements and contributions they have made to American society from its early history to present day.
The video, which will be aired today at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) annual convention, highlights the myriad of ways the American Muslim community, and specifically ISNA leadership, has served as an effective partner in promoting inter-religious initiatives in the U.S. and religious freedom for minorities around the world.
DC Mayor Vincent E. Gray, one of the convention's keynote speakers, also recognized the significance of the American Muslim experience at the inaugural address. In his speech, he connected the current day plight of American Muslims with the aspirations expressed in Dr. King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech 50 years ago.

[NationalMemo] Former Texas congressman Ron Paul will reportedly deliver the keynote address at an anti-Semitic conference in September, in the latest example of the three-time presidential candidate's close association with bully boys.
Paul will speak at the Fatima Center's "Fatima: The Path to Peace" conference, which will run from September 8th through the 15th in Niagara Falls, Ontario. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Fatima Center is part of the "radical traditionalist" Catholic movement, which comprises "the largest single group of serious anti-Semites in America," routinely attacking Jews as "the perpetual enemy of Christ."
The video badanov pulled a few weeks ago came from a website that was also keen on the Fatima people.
Along with Paul, the conference will feature Roberto Fiore -- a self-described neo-facist Italian politician who was convicted for conspiring to set off a bomb in a Bologna train station in 1980, and has been described by fellow Parliament member Glyn Ford as "absolutely the most extreme person who has ever served in the European Parliament" -- and John F. McManus, the president of the John Birch Society, a radical right-wing organization with which Paul is intimately familiar.

The National Memo appears to be Democrat Propaganda Central. I don't think I care to read a word of slander they speak about anybody.
James C. the Cajaun Rage Muffin appears to be a big name at this site.
Does anyone think, really think, that Paul wants to see Jews and Israel wiped out?
Really?
I think it far more likely that there are associations between Democrats and RINOs and groups that want to see devout Christians disenfranchised and persecuted. That is the ball upon which eyes must be kept.
Of course, the SPLC does not stand to profit from those sorts of thoughts......

Regime hires PR firm to assist with Obamacare and.........other duties as assigned.
[REUTERS] Republican Senators John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... and Lindsey Graham ... the endangered South Carolina RINO... on Saturday said they could not support isolated military strikes on Syria that are not part of a bigger strategy. "We cannot in good conscience support isolated military strikes in Syria that are not part of an overall strategy that can change the momentum on the battlefield, achieve the president's stated goal of (Syrian President Bashar al-) Assad's removal from power, and bring an end to this conflict, which is a growing threat to our national security interests," they said in a statement.

there is a good chance that Assad is so weak that a solid hit on the Syrian air force would end the regime
but what happens after the regime is an open question

obviously an islamist takeover is possible; however in the past 6 months or so there has been considerable islamist vs islamist conflict and many shifting tactical alliances with the Kurds being the only group that really has a consistent and coherent network
