TAMMY BRUCE: Sounding retreat at West Point - Washington Times

After years of spewing lies on behalf of his boss, White House press secretary Jay Carney is leaving. But don't worry. I'm sure CNN or CNBC have a job lined up for him.



Jay Carney resigns as White House press secretary - Washington Times

Republican Congressman Jim Gerlach, PA-6th Dist., issued the following statement following the resignation of Gen. Eric Shinseki as Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs:

"General Shinseki clearly understands the importance of having leaders who are accountable, and I believe he made the appropriate decision to resign. We are grateful for his tremendous valor while serving in Vietnam and thank him for his dedicated career of service to our country. While a change in personnel at the VA certainly is necessary given the inexcusable delays in providing medical care to our veterans and deceptive manipulation of records, there also must be a fundamental change in the culture at the VA. That change can occur only if the President demonstrates leadership and insists that everyone at the VA be accountable to our veterans, their families and taxpayers.

I know that the vast majority of VA employees are dedicated to serving veterans and their families and work hard every day to do just that. But without serious reforms throughout the VA system, the exemplary efforts of the majority will be overshadowed by those who game the system and put their self-interests ahead of the interests of our veterans.  In the House, my colleagues and I already have acted on several fronts to ensure that our veterans have access to the high-quality medical care they've earned and to give the VA Secretary the flexibility all managers need to fire those who are not doing their job before they destroy the morale of competent co-workers and cause harm to our veterans. I am hopeful the leaders of the U.S. Senate and the President will join with us in these efforts."

Our worst fears about the Constitutionally-challenged Obama regime are true. Check out this story in the Washington Times about a recently uncovered directive that would allow Obama to use the military against his domestic enemies, which is 50% of the citizens of this country. This also explains Obama's obsession with disarming law-abiding US citizens. He doesn't want anyone fighting back.

Richard W. Carlson: The tragedy that is the VA

You know Allyson Schwartz has gone off the deep end when the ultra-liberal Democrat publicly blamed  her embarrassing loss in the Pennsylvania governor's race to sexism. More likely it was the fact that Schwartz's rabid support of abortion-on-demand and Obamacare is out-of-synch with mainstream voters.

Stu Bykofsky, a liberal columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News calls Schwartz a cry baby. Read the full column at the link below.

Have you noticed that Democrats never want to get the bottom of incompetence or corruption in the Obama administration? All they want to do is sweep scandals under the rug. It's time to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. Vote out every Democrat on the ballot this November.

House votes 303-121 to curb NSA | TheHill

An interesting column by John Featherman in The Philadelphia Inquirer, the state's largest (and most liberal) newspaper about the changing fortunes of Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett.

Without wedge social issues such as gay marriage, voter ID and abortion, Democrats have nothing to run on in November.

Tom Wolf is a former Rendell Administration official and Rendell left the state a fiscal mess before Corbett stepped in to clean things up.

The state's economy is on the rebound under Corbett, so why would anyone want to go back to the Rendell days of high taxes and growing deficits?

Featherman predicts a close race because Democrats hold a large advantage in voter registration numbers, but still believes Corbett will win a second term.

Democrats look great on paper, and the polls have been with them. Up

until now, things have been so good that it was literally their election

to lose.



And guess what?





They will do the impossible.





They will lose it, thanks to a big assist from a strategy employed by the greatest boxer of all time exactly 40 years ago.

The Republican Governors Association issued the following statement on the outcome of Tuesday night's Pennsylvania gubernatorial primary election:

"Governor Tom Corbett was elected to put Pennsylvania back on the right track, and that's exactly what he has done in his first term in Harrisburg," said RGA Chairman Chris Christie. "By implementing pro-growth, pro-jobs policies for the Commonwealth, Governor Corbett has revived Pennsylvania's economy, rekindled job creation and restored fiscal discipline in state government. These accomplishments are the result of promises Governor Corbett made to voters and kept, and Pennsylvania needs four more years of that kind of real progress. The Republican Governors Association is proud to support Governor Corbett’s re-election campaign."

"This race for governor presents voters with a stark choice between Governor Corbett, a leader and a reformer, and Tom Wolf, a job-killing liberal with a lousy record on economic growth," said RGA Executive Director Phil Cox. "During his previous stint in state government, Wolf fought to raise taxes and unemployment surged, and there's little reason to believe he would bring anything different to the table this time around. Pennsylvania’s future depends on more reform, more jobs and more economic growth, outcomes that simply aren’t achieved when a liberal, tax-and-spend Democrat like Wolf takes the reins. Tom Wolf is too extreme for Pennsylvania."
