		<description><![CDATA[Protesters from all sides of the political spectrum protested President Obama on Wednesday evening outside a fundraiser he attended for the DCCC in Chicago. Not only is the president wildly unpopular with the right, he also seems to be losing his flare with the radical left. However, no one seems to be calling the left-wing protesters racists like the Tea Party was for protesting the president early in his first term. At Wednesday’s protests outside the Chicago Hilton, pro-life groups lined Michigan Ave. with giant images of aborted children, standing alongside protesters from the Sierra Club against the Keystone Pipeline, illegal aliens calling for open borders, anarchists against the police state, communists against freedom, independent veterans who are fed up with the Obama regime, and even a group of Native Americans singing and chanting. I spoke with some of the nearly 200 protesters on hand, although most that I attempted to interview expressed fear of speaking with “Breitbart.” Those not afraid of Breitbart News were instructed by organizers and random protesters not to speak with this reporter, despite the opportunity to get their message out. One protester warned another, “The man is dangerous,” while encouraging her not to be interviewed. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regrettably, I only recognized the significance of Memorial Day a few years ago. Somewhere between that time and my childhood, I grew accustomed to the idea, that while watching images of Memorial Day services on TV, it was really the beginning of summer, barbecues and a day off from school, and later, work. But amidst the current struggles in the eternal battle for freedom and liberty, I gained a new admiration and respect for those who have fought and died for this country, and I began to feel compelled to remember our fallen heroes, who died in the field of honor. Rev. Dr. Frank Jewell’s historic sermon delivered at an 1875 Memorial Day celebration in California, informs us that all of history’s great nations have held up their heroes in one way or another, so that future generations may produce new heroes to fill their shoes. But what is unique to America about the remembrance of our heroes is that, as Jewell says, “it springs not from a monarch’s edict, but from millions of grateful, loyal hearts.” Jewell describes how Americans began celebrating Memorial Day after the Civil War: In 1864, thousands of our sons and brothers who had worn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Plea: Incompetence Although it has been shown no confusion existed among on-site State Department or Intelligence personnel about the source of the Benghazi attack last year, it took the Obama Administration weeks to sort out the truth while in the meantime they laid blame on a video for which there was no evidence. Well documented requests for more security were not heeded because the need was not substantiated. Attempts to assist State Department personnel under attack were forbidden because it was unclear whether any rescue could be successful or timely. (Invites one to ponder whether Roosevelt would have withheld troops from Europe under this cautionary protocol). Plea: Incompetence ________ According to documents the IRS’s chief counsel and deputy commissioner the IRS knew of the targeting of conservative groups on August 4, 2011. In March 2012 IRS commissioner, Doug Shulman, under oath assured congress that no groups were being targeted. Acting commissioner Steven Miller has made assurances that “in no way” was screening politically motivated. With an inspector general’s report on the IRS due this week, lawsuits pending alleging political targeting by the IRS and continued inquiries in congress about the political activities of the IRS, the Obama Administration was unaware [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Socialism 2013 Conference agenda is out! And look who made the cover of the program. Not Che, not Moa, not Lenin, Stalin or Marx. The Chicago Teachers Union! Since the early days of the Occupy movement in October 2011, the ties between the radical institutional left and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) were becoming very clear. EAG News documented the relationship between the CTU and radical anarchist organizer Lisa Fithian, who trained the teachers in “non-violent direct action,” and more specifically, how to stage and coordinate their arrests with the Chicago Police Department. In 2012, the CTU began to set the stage for the now infamous Chicago Teachers Strike, by conducting several massive protest actions, shutting down Chicago’s loop on several occasions, under the leadership of their President Karen Lewis and Vice President Jesse Sharkey. I captured Sharkey on film, leading the teachers, in actions that directly emulated those of the Occupy Movement. For days in the fall of 2012, during the strike, the educators of Chicago’s youth marched side by side with revolutionary Marxist organizations, black bloc anarchists, and open communist organizations. One thing missing through it all, however, was any coverage of these facts in the Chicago media. In fact, after I informed NBC [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By her own admission in a 2008 Q &#38; A with the New York Times, Secretary of Commerce nominee Penny Pritzker acknowledged as many as 1600 depositors lost $6000 on average&#8211;or roughly $10 million overall&#8211;due to her family’s Superior Bank failure. The losses were the result of years of subprime lending and overvaluing its residual interests after failing to discount to present values, future cash flows that were subject to credit losses. According to the U.S. General Accounting Office: Superior Bank did not properly value the residual interest assets it reported on its financial statements. Since those assets represented payments that were to be received in the future only after credit losses were reimbursed, they needed to be discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate, in order to recognize that a promise to pay in the future was worth less than a current payment. The result was that Superior Bank reported assets, earnings, and capital that were far in excess of their true values…When Superior finally applied the appropriate valuation techniques and related accounting to the residual interests in early 2001, at the urging of the OTS (Office of Thrift Supervision), Superior was forced to take a write off against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It wouldn’t surprise me if you had not heard of him. That was on purpose. You got to know him, when he wanted you to. He ran a low profile, behind the scenes, but if there was ever a news tip, or a big story coming down the pipes, he knew it was coming before anyone else. And if you did know Chip Gerdes, you know exactly what I mean. I first met Chip when he reached out to some grassroots activists in Illinois to work on a project during the 2010 election cycle. The meeting was as mysterious as the profile he kept, late at night, in a bar, and I had no clue who I was waiting around to meet. He showed up in flip-flops, with his backpack, and a skull and crossbones on his hat. He shared ideas about how to fight the left I had never heard from anyone else. He thought out of the box, and he wanted to win. All he talked about was kicking ass, and how much fun we were going to have doing it. And we did. Over the months and now years, we became close friends. Chip introduced me to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I learned that Chip Gerdes, my friend and friend of this blog, passed away. There are many characters fighting this war to restore freedom and an appreciation for American exceptionalism to our country; but there is no one like Chip. Chip, who was one of the behind-the-scenes guys who do so much heavy lifting in politics, running campaigns, connecting media with stories, generally getting things done, was, like Andrew, larger than life. In fact it was through Chip that I first met Andrew. Every time I saw him he would regale me with another inconceivable story from his work. It&#8217;s better to skim the surface of these stories &#8212; they were often successful and always mischievous. It was Chip&#8217;s downtown apartment that many of us fighting the fight in Chicago would gather to be entertained by Chip, planning a &#8220;flotilla&#8221; up to Madison to catch up with the protesters, or arguing over where to go to dinner. We nearly always decided on the Chicago standby Greek Islands, Chip picking up the check no matter how big or small the group. And it was through his magnetic personality that many of us who can sometimes lean overly ideological (myself foremost) [...]]]></description>
