Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper has indefinitely delayed the execution of convicted killer Nathan Dunlap, saying that he had doubts about the death penalty, much to the dismay of victims' families and a furious district attorney.
Hickenlooper, a Democrat, said he had doubts about the fairness of Colorado's death penalty system and about the state's ability to get the lethal drugs required for an execution.
Dunlap, 38, is one of three men on the state's death row. He was sentenced to death in 1996,
The first photo is of the proud murderer.
The others are his victims.
This governor will sanctimoniously champion the rights of this fiend animal and proudly champion the right to kill babies. He is a democrat. He is cut from the same evil cloth as the man he protects.
With scandal swirling about the White House, First Lady Michelle Obama may be considering an extended exit from Washington this summer, fleeing for weeks to the Obamas’ traditional summer haven, Martha’s Vineyard.
Lois Lerner, the IRS official in charge of tax-exempt groups, took her too-clever-by-half act to Congress yesterday and may have waived her right to claim her Fifth Amendment privilege in the process. Appearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, she couldn’t resist citing a little history, bragging on her public service, instructing the committee as to the purpose of the Fifth Amendment, and proclaiming her innocence of everything the committee might be interested in — all before asserting her Fifth Amendment privilege.
Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) was a bit taken aback. He had never seen anybody try that before. Neither had I. Witnesses and lawyers know, or should know, that you can’t selectively invoke the Fifth Amendment — that is, partially testify. That is why, if a decision is made to take the Fifth, a lawyer will instruct his client to invoke it after almost every question, after identity is established, out of an abundance of caution. You don’t want your client to unintentionally waive the privilege.
Good View....
`Imagine if that were your mother or grandmother`
The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday.
We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press.
Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.” The US attorney, Dennis Burke, was an Obama political appointee.
A few hours after that, we were told that everybody at the most senior levels of the White House knew about the report revealing the targeting of conservative groups by the Internal Revenue Service — everybody but the president, who maintains he learned about it from watching TV.
By far the most damaging of the stories has to do with the attack on press freedom.
In 2009, Fox News reporter James Rosen got a leak about North Korean policy and ran a story about it. Yesterday, White House press spokesman Jay Carney referred to the aftermath of that single leak nearly four years ago as “an ongoing criminal investigation.”
FTA " The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday afternoon that Lois Lerner, who heads up the Internal Revenue Service's tax-exempt division, plans to invoke the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in a hearing Wednesday before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs.
The Fifth Amendment provides that U.S. citizens may not be compelled to offer testimony if telling the truth would incriminate them.
Lerner's defense lawyer, William W. Taylor III, wrote to the committee on Tuesday that his client would refuse to answer questions related to what she knew about the extra levels of scrutiny applied to conservative nonprofit organizations that applied for tax-exempt status beginning in 2010. "
Was it the wrong decision to have life come to a halt to hunt down this killer?
Dzhokhar was dangerous and a threat to anyone and everyone. But so are criminal gang members throughout the country. If Dzhokhar had biological or chemical weapons, there would be a better argument for a citywide shutdown.
Instead, looking for one man, the entire city was ordered shut down, which is exactly what the two terrorist brothers wanted. They created an atmosphere of fear. They made large numbers of people feel unsafe in their homes and on the streets.
When terrorists attacked the U.S. on September 11, 2001, their goal was mass-murder. They also wanted Americans to be afraid of going to the movies and afraid of going to events where many people would be congregating.
After 9/11, Americans were told to continue doing normal, American things. If Americans stopped doing normal things like going to the movies, then terrorists would have won.
Shutting down Boston was akin to bowing to terrorist demands. The reason Americans don’t strike deals with terrorists is because it invites terrorists to commit more acts of violence like kidnappings and other attacks.
Terrorists throughout the world could not care less that the two brothers were ultimately stopped. They care more that their attacks caused a major city to come to a fear induced inertia.
When Malik Obama, President Obama’s half-brother, and Sarah Obama, the president’s step-grandmother raised money in the United States, they claimed it was for charity work in Kogelo, Kenya. It was later discovered that not only did the IRS illegally grant one of them (Malik) tax-deductible status retroactively, but in so doing, it supported an operation rife with polygamy and terror recruitment.
The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF) and Mama Sarah Obama Foundation (MSOF), are two entities claiming to be non-profit charities yet solicit funds from the United States. The money they claim is to build homes for widows, orphans and HIV/AIDS victims that are nowhere to be found. The only evidence where monies were spent involves a compound, which housed Malik’s 12 wives with a restaurant including a mosque with a madrassa.
While building mosques is legally considered charity, evidence shows that the entire funding came directly from entities and individuals from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain. There is nothing of charitable nature to show for all the funds Malik raises from the United States. To date, there is no evidence for any accomplishments towards building homes for orphans, widows and AIDS victims in Kogelo or anywhere else in Kenya.
For those that will want to correct me and say this is a "Palestinian" flag - let me correct you. This flag represents one thing -- the ongoing jihad against the Jews. The flag exists for one reason and one reason only as a banner of promised annihilation of the tiny Jewish state. This flag does not exist. Israel, the tiny Jewish state, is Palestine. This bogus flag has no history. The objective of this flag is a second holocaust. Shame on the Jew hating political whores (Democrats, of course) Bill Pascrell Jr., D-Paterson, and Assemblyman Thomas Giblin who showed up to give the imprimateur of legitmacy to these annihilationist voters.
PA chief Mahmoud Abbas and US favorite Fayyad have gone on record saying that no Jews will be allowed to live in Palestine and that all Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and Jewish neighborhoods built in post-67 Jerusalem will have to be emptied out before they will accept their state. They are demanding a judenrein state.
Shame on Paterson, New Jersey - I don't care how big their subversive propulation is.What's next an OBL billboard?
The truth….”We have a right to demand it!” Judge Jeanine delivers powerful commentary on the actions of President Obama and his administration. Take time to listen.
Wow! How do you handle this one? Devastating!
It would appear that John McCain, John Boehner, Marco Rubio, Ed Rollins, and a handful of other Republicans owe Rep. Michele Bachmann an apology for defending Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff last year after a letter sent by Bachmann and five other congressmen identified Abedin as having familial connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Why should they apologize? Keep reading.
Imagine the following headline appearing last June:
Hillary Clinton Deputy Huma Abedin Steps Down Amid Questions about her family being linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
We never saw that headline but thanks to an article that appeared in the New York Times this week, we now have evidence such a headline would have been accurate.
