The 5 common forms of governments plain and simple video.  Watch now.

   HEADLINES OF THE DAY  

AG Eric Holder testifying currently at Rayburn building in front of the Justice Oversight Committee.  Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R) Virginia stated in opening statement he is looking for answers that will shed light on the problems within the DOJ.  

His list is long and vast citing Holders departments inablity to address the problems which face our nation in a none partisan way.  Rep. John Cnyers (D) Michigan looked Holder in the eyes and stated he was appaulded that his department would compromise our DOJ and our nation by turning a blind eye to the corruption apparent in the IRS and the illegal attempts of taping AP email records. Eric Holder is the only individual to testify today. 

 Detroit is deemed insolvent with close to one hundred million in debt and less then 1 million citizens residing in the city. So much corruption over the past 50 years in the Mayors office has finally imploded and rendering the city ineffective.

Jury finds abortion doctor guilty of murder today. Sentence could be the death penalty with the three counts of murder.

"What different at this point does it make" are the words that will halt the Secretary of State from becoming President of these United States as hearings on the Benghazi affair show that Ms. Clinton did not act in the best interest of our Ambassador and his personnel on the night of September 11th 2012.  Yesterday Mr. Hicks testified that the talking points were off base and everyone in Libya knew the attack was a terrorist attack not an uprising based on a video. The question needs to be asked, "who gave Ms. Rice those talking points and how far up the chain does this cover-up go?"

Supreme Court hearing arguments on same sex marriage. When did the federal government get involved with moral issues. No where in the US Constitution does it state who or what marriage is. With that said marriage definition in Webster's dictionary states "(1)  :  the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law." Part 2 then states " the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage <same-sexmarriage>"   which dates back to the 14th century.

According to a recent CBS poll regarding same sex marriage 73% of 18-29 year olds believe same sex marriage should be legal and only 35% of those over 65 agreed. When asked if it would be morally acceptable for men and women of the same sex to marry the most recent polls state 54% believe it is morally acceptable for same sex partners to marry. Most agree the times have changed and so too must the definition of what marriage constitutes. What do you think?

Washington Times and CPAC results for the 2013 straw poll for reveiling the nominee for Presidentof the United States is as follows: First place finisher was  Rand Paul with 25%, Second place was Marco Rubio with 23% and Third place went to Rick Santorum.  This year 2930 individuals voted for 67 different candidates. The voter count was down somewhat from the past few years but on the high note there were many more young people voting.

Senator Harry Reid on floor blasting the Ryan Budget plan stating it "would actually jeopardize the recovery" with more taxes on the middle class while protecting the rich just as the past two have done. The senator went on to say "Murray's plan would invest in the things that will help this economy grow"

Under the Ryan bill there would be an increase in taxes while balancing the budget in 10 years. Under the Murray bill there would be one trillion dollars more in taxes and there is no stipulation of a balanced budget. There are many areas of concern in both budgets, however the future of this nation depends on curtailing the out of control spending running rampant in the Halls of Congress. Ryan's budget increases spending each year by 3.5% and Murray's will increase the spending each year by 5%.

Senator Rand Paul stands in the chambers for 13 hours demanding President Obama and his administration answer the question "do you have the power to kill citizens in the US that are not enemy combatants without the 5th Amendment's due process clause invoked"?  Receive letter this morning from Department of Justice Director Eric Holder with a "No".

Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair does not believe the case was made to find Pistorius in fact committed a premeditated murder.  He then stated the trial judge will be the one to determine that. Bail will be granted.

Sequestration to take effect March 1, 2013.  This agreement which became law was offered by   President Obama  and during appearances on media outlets he promised to veto any bill that tried to stop these cut from happening. The 85 billion that needs to be cut is divided up 29 billion on mandatory spending which consists of Medicare, unemployment and social security and 56 billion in discretionary spending from military, education and transportation.

For the past several days our president went on the road and is insisting we will lose first responders, infrastructure and a host of many other services if we allow this cut to happen. We've seen these tactics from this president before, he will use any means to get what he wants other than pure leadership. This president will not accept responsibility, nor accountability for his actions. Today he is still blaming everyone outside the Democratic party.  When will he accept the problems we are facing today were caused by not only his predecessors but also himself or his administration.

If these cuts took place tomorrow we could stop the federal government from operating for 8 days. This nation spends 405 million dollars an hour of which we have to borrow 44% from others. We can afford these cuts and many more if our elected officials took their jobs seriously. Maybe if they worked for the people instead of special interest who fund their re-election campaigns would we see real progress in the Halls of Congress working to reduce our debt.

Jesse Jackson Jr. pleads guilty to conspiracy charges moments ago. Charges stem from  over $750,000,000. of campaign funds being spent on personal items. Of items he bought, Rolex, sports memorabilia, capes for wife and furniture.

Entitlement programs reach an all time high consuming 62% of the federal budget. In 2012 the spending included $1,327,000,000,000.00 in notes issued to secure loans to pay for spending programs with Congress signing legislation to increase their out of control spending habits to a staggering  $ 3,795,600,000,000.00. Then to hear that the president and former speaker say we don't have a spending problem is insulting to the American people, we do have a spending problem and like any addict one must realize it before they can get help. 
   Entitlement programs are hurting this country as we don't hold Congress accountable for the spending. With all the fraud and waste in these programs our government could write a 60 thousand dollar check to each individual below the poverty line and do away with all the programs and the nation would fair much better.   Things must change in the Halls of Congress if we are to cut our 17 trillion dollar deficit problem. Like a drug addict they remain in denial.  Help is there if only they would reach out for it.   Read more here.

Today on  "The Factor" Bill O'R1eilly stated he is in support of a 10 year mandatory prison sentence for any gun crime and the federal government should be instituting these new laws.
