Once again California Congresswoman and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi showed her real-self to the public.  It came while explaining her disapproval of the Frank Bill, prohibiting abortions during the final four months of pregnancy, with exceptions for when the life of the mother is at risk.

When asked how she balances her dislike for abortionists, turned convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell with her equal disdain of legislation that prohibits abortionists from terminating the life of a child moments before birth, she lost it.  From the Weekly Standard:

“You’re probably enjoying that question a lot, I can see you savoring it,” Pelosi said in response. “What was done in Philadelphia was reprehensible and everybody condemned it. For the drafters to decide to disrespect a judgment a woman makes about her reproductive health is reprehensible.”

“Next question,” she added.

“So what’s the moral difference?” reporter John McCormack asked, “ I just asked a simple question.  …What’s the moral difference then between 26 weeks elective abortion and killing of that same infant born alive?”

“This is not the issue,” responded Pelosi, “They are saying that there’s no abortion. It would make it a federal law that there would be no abortion in our country.”

However, the bill doesn’t ban ‘all abortions,’ as she claimed.

“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this,” she added. “This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.”

What an idiot!

This week, both Senator’s Harry Reid and Dean Heller tried to get a “Nevada voice” on the Southern Border Security Commission. But the senate refused to hear the amendment.

A voice is what is not what’s needed – it’s a fence that’s being demanded. But that’s the problem with those in Washington D.C., they’re going to do what they want without considering what their bosses from across the rest of the nation are directing them to do.

In fact, it looks like a cabal of both Democrat and Republican Congress members and Senators are planning to ram a reform package down our throats by this July 4th. Not only will it be vacation time for the Washington bunch, but it’ll serve as a great propaganda piece for Progressives.

Progressive Republican House Speaker John Boehner is in co-hoots Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to create amnesty for illegal immigrants. This piece of legislation will then get pushed through the House, with a majority of both parties voting it in.

Then it’ll have to go to a conference committee, where it must be reconciled. That’s where it’ll be gutted of its border security language, adding some extra pork and spending to it, and then it’ll be send it to the Senate, where it’ll pass.

Once back on the House side, the now-reconciled bill will be subjected to a vote, where the majority of the GOP will, vote “no,” so they can go home and say, they did their constituencies bidding. However, the Democrats and the committee chairs will vote it into law, because they have the numbers.

Finally, the argument isn’t really about citizenship or border security – it’s about creating more Progressive votes. And when that happens, this country will be, as President Obama promised, “fundamentally transformed.”

Although most of the “49ers” missed the Modoc country, in March 1851 Abraham Thompson, a mule train packer, discovered gold near Yreka while traveling along the Siskiyou Trail from southern Oregon. The discovery sparked the California Gold Rush from California’s Sierra Nevada into Northern California.

By April 1851, 2,000 miners had arrived in “Thompson’s Dry Diggings” through the southern route of old Emigrant Trail to test their luck, which took them straight through Modoc territory. Although the Modoc initially had no trouble with European Americans, after the murders of settlers in a raid by the Pit River Tribe, militia, not familiar with the Indian peoples, in revenge attacked an innocent Modoc village, killing men, women and children.

Kintpuash, the future chief also known as Captain Jack, survived the attack but lost some of his family. In retaliation and to try to end encroachment, some Modoc chose to attack the next whites they came across.

In September 1852 a wagon train of some 65 men, women, and children on their way to new homes in California were ambushed by the Modoc Indians. Only one badly wounded man, made his escape to the Oregon settlements in Willamette Valley and told of the attack.

His report spread quickly and Oregon volunteers, reaching the scene later, found bodies of men, women and children mutilated and scattered for more than a mile along the lake shore and their wagons plundered and burned. The location became known as Bloody Point.

In another round of retaliation, California militia led by an Indian fighter named Ben Wright killed 41 Modoc at a peace parley.

U.S. District Judge Edward C. Reed Jr. passed away Saturday, June 1st of natural causes. He was 88 years old and a native Nevadan.

Appointed in 1979 to serve as a U.S. District Judge for the District of Nevada, Reed became a nationally known water rights litigator during his career as an attorney in Reno. Before becoming an attorney, he served honorably in World War II as a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army both in the Europe and the Philippines and. He found himself captured by the Nazis and imprisoned in Germany in 1945.

After the war, Reed returned to school,  graduating from the University of Nevada-Reno in 1949 and then from Harvard Law School in 1952. While there he met Sally Torrance at Wellesley College and the two married June 14th, 1952 in Jamestown, New York.

He was also a championship tennis player in Nevada and won the Reno City Singles Championship in 1951, 1958 and 1959.  Reed was also an all-state basketball player at Reno High School and the University of Nevada.

Because of his many years serving as President and a member of the Washoe County School Board, Edward C. Reed High School in Sparks, is named for him.

If only real life were like the bureaucratic life.

Samantha Power has been given the nod as our newest U.N Ambassador. She’s worked for George Soros’s Open Society Institute, an organization linked to anti-Semitic rhetoric.

That can’t be good news for Israel. Hamas is jumping for joy, though.

IRS Exempt Organization Specialist Stephen Seok, who signed many of the letters sent to conservative nonprofits.  He has since been promoted to “supervisor IRS agent.”

Then there’s Sarah Hall Ingram, IRS commissioner during the time the agency singled out conservative groups. She’s now director of the IRS’s “Obamacare” Division.

Not only can she audit you, she can screw up your medical records while she’s at it.

Meanwhile Susan Rice is the president’s new National Security Adviser. She lied several times about the terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four American.

Acting Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Robert Perciasepe is still waiting for the next scandal sword to fall on.

President Obama recently lectured the U.S. Naval Academy’s graduating class of 2013 on sexual assault during his commencement speech. The president’s remarks come amid same-stream media reports of an increase in sexual assault cases in the armed forces.

“Likewise, those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that make our military strong. That’s why we have to be determined to stop these crimes, because they’ve got no place in the greatest military on Earth.”

While it’s not clear if the rate of sexual violence is any higher in the military than in the general-public, it is known one in two women and one in five men have experienced some sort of sexual violence. Obama must think rape – along with pillage and plunder – is a part of the military’s ethos.

In U.S. history class, we learned that a Richard Windsor served in the Lewis and Clark Expedition and Corps of Discovery. He’s mentioned in the Lewis and Clark journals for an accident that almost cost him his life.

While crossing a bluff he slipped and fell and Lewis told him to dig his knife in and climb up. He did so, and escaped death.

However, there is another Richard Windsor to discuss – this one is a woman.

Windsor – or rather former EPA chief Jackson – used the name to hide her email activity from anyone wanting to know about official business she was working on at the agency.  Furthermore, that didn’t stop she/he/it from being awarded many certificates for ethics, records management and cyber-security.

It was recently learned that the EPA waived Freedom of Information Act requests for at least seven “green groups,” while charging groups considered “unfriendly” to the EPA were charged nearly every time. No statement on the partisan behavior at the EPA has been issued yet.

Federal law requires agency officials to keep all official emails that may be covered by FOIA requests. Federal employees are also required to provide copies of private emails used for official business to agency FOIA officials.

Jackson resigned as EPA administrator in December 2012 shortly after her agency’s inspector-general announced an investigation into the fake “Richard Windsor.” She now works for Apple.

As an intersting side-note, Apple is working on technology to mine data from I-phone users.

Obamacare “death panels,” are real. This comes to light after Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said, “Well I would suggest sir that again this is an incredibly agonizing situation where someone lives and someone dies.”

She was talking about an Affordability Care Act regulation barring a 10-year-old girl — given just weeks to live — from getting a lung transplant because she not the mandatory age of 12. Fortunately, U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson ordered the dying girl be made eligible for donor lungs from an adult by overruling Sebelius.

Since 2007, the National Security Agency and FBI have monitored several Internet companies in an operation code-named “PRISM.”  Those companies are AOL, Apple, Google, Dropbox, Facebook, Microsoft, PalTalk, Skype, Yahoo and YouTube.

Many of these companies are denying any involvement and it’s certain there are others involved. This is happening under the early 70’s doctrine of “Third Party Access,” which claims that since you had “private information” on a check, and that check across the country to pay a bill, the information is no longer private.

Meanwhile, President Obama is appearing at two Democratic fundraisers in California today.  The first one is a cocktail party at Flipboard CEO Mike McCue’s home.

The connection: Flipboard is a digital social magazine that aggregates web links from your social circle, like Twitter, Facebook, etc., then displays the content in magazine form on an iPad.

The National Security Agency held a small ribbon cutting ceremony May 30th for its Utah Data Center. The Center, at Camp Williams near Bluffdale between Utah Lake and Great Salt Lakereportedly houses four 25,000 square foot halls of servers and routers designed to collected and store private data from the Internet, cell phones and other electronic signal-emitting devices.

Now, a British newspaper is reporting communication records of millions of U.S. citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk, regardless of whether they were suspected of any wrongdoing. The Guardian says it’s obtained the copy of an order issued in April and was good through July 19th, from the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ordering Verizon to provide the NSA with telephone records of its customers.

Under the terms of the order, the phone numbers of both parties on a call are to be handed over, as is location data, call duration, unique identifiers, and the time and duration of all calls. However, the paper says the order doesn’t specify which type of phone customers’ records were being tracked or why.

And this is jus’ the one secret order we know about.

UPDATE:  Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Senator Dianne Feinstein of California says the National Security Agency’s top secret court order for telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon is a three-month renewal of an ongoing practice.  She says the practice is legal under the Patriot Act.

UPDATE 2: Now Republican RINO Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says he’s “glad” that the NSA is collecting telephone records — including  his  own — in an  attempt to combat terrorism.

UPDATE 3: Add AT&T and T-Mobile to the list of cell phone companies on the FISA order.
