Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) claimed today that "over 170 million jobs" could be lost due to sequestration, which she also wants blamed on Republicans.
This number is greater than the total number of jobs in America, so it seems highly unlikely.
Cato Institute Senior Fellow Michael D. Tanner comments on Sequestration panic.
Might there be a new 'Arab Spring' by those desiring modern freedoms in the Middle East? And, if so, might it again be sparked by events in Tunisia?
As silly as it may sound, an internet dance craze known as the "Harlem Shake" has ignited quite a cultural and generational debate in Tunisia -- and it appears to be growing, instead of slowing... at least for now.
Democrat's 'assault weapons ban' and 'owner registration' -- a prelude for banning all guns?
RCP: Washington Times columnist and Democratic insider Lanny Davis tells WMAL-AM that his editor, John Solomon, "received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn't like some of my columns, even though I'm a supporter of Obama. I couldn't imagine why this call was made." Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, "that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials."

Rep. Keith Ellison (D- Minnesota) was invited on Sean Hannity's program to discuss the Sequestration. Instead the Congressman threw a hissy fit before any questions could even be asked and continued his childish rant for the entire interview.
You stay classy, Congressman Ellison.
A father publicly posted this video on his daughter's Facebook page in order to warn others, shame his daughter and hopefully correct her bad behavior.
So what do you think? Did this dad go too far or is this exactly the kind of parenting we need today?
Rising gas prices fuel public outrage, and the popular explanation is that unscrupulous oil companies are taking advantage of helpless consumers. This makes a good story but, as Professor Art Carden explains, it's not accurate.
Instead of urging Senate Democrats to pass a smarter replacement for his sequester, President Obama is traveling everywhere but to the Senate. Just a few days before the President's devastating cuts go into effect, Washington Democrats refuse to pass a serious plan to avert them.
Secretary of State John Kerry offered a defense of freedom of speech, religion and thought in the United States on Tuesday telling German students that in America "you have a right to be stupid if you want to be."
Some might say this presentation sufficiently proved his point.
Allen West interviews investigative journalist and Israeli activist Lee Kaplan about anti-Semitism at American universities. Why is this happening? What can be done about it? And is the political left uniting with the Islamists on campus? Find out in this interesting conversation.
Although there may have been a little tongue in Matthews' cheek, everyone watching knew full well that he meant it, and that his mission in the next 44 months - as well as that of likely every MSNBC contributor and guest - is to get Clinton in the White House.
What's interesting is how the folks on this almost satirical news network don't even feel like they have to hide it anymore.
Jay Carney struggles for 4+ minutes to explain how re-branded Obama For America (OFA) is somehow an independent organization that can offer special access to the President for large donations.
Fox News political analyst and "Special Report" panelist Juan Williams said in an interview with The Daily Caller's Ginni Thomas that mainstream media outlets "stab" and "kill" dissenting voices.

Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino joins Fox & Friends to discuss the government's push for so-called gun control.

New polling data shows that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's approval rating has tanked and even basic support for the mayor is running on life support.

This 5 minute video highlights the relationship between socialism, tyranny, the right to keep and bear arms and American freedom from 1776 until today.
See how Barack Obama and Bill Ayers fit into that puzzle.
Cam Edwards talks to Amanda Collins, a young woman who was raped at the University of Nevada. She responds to ignorant comments made about campus rape by anti-concealed carry politicians, her natural right to defend herself and the mainstream media's refusal to cover stories like hers.
This is a brave and very well-spoken young woman who deserves to be heard in this debate.
This NRA ad - "Stand and Fight" - shows how Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and all other elite politicians are trying to marginalize the law-abiding, average American, but we must never forget that they work for us.
Greta Van Susteren created a montage of statements on the sequester. From the video it is clear that the sequester cuts were a product of the White House. It is also clear that Barack Obama and Democrats continue to get away with the bold lie that the idea for sequestration was something Republicans in Congress pushed.
See for yourself.
A Whole Foods supermarket in New York has removed a sign that used a drawing of President Barack Obama to advertise a sale on chicken after complaints that the ad was offensive.
Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich talks to Charlie Rose and Gayle King about the federal government, automatic budget cuts and offers his own criticism of the GOP structure.
Is this administration saying that they don't value certain middle class jobs as highly if they work for wealthy Americans?
It seems like the attitude from the White House is that private sector jobs take a back seat to unsustainable government programs and spending. Plus, it sounds better to claim you're only soaking the evil rich, right?
See how New Jersey Governor Chris Christie stacks up against top, national Democrats following his bounce in popularity.
I seem to remember the same shotgun talking point from our wise VP when he was asked about self defense following an earthquake and potential rioting...
This is a very entertaining peek behind the Supreme Court curtain and just an overall great conversation with Justice Clarence Thomas. As part of the Herbert W. Vaughan Lecture Series, Justice Thomas visits Harvard Law School -- a law school he turned down in favor of Yale because he felt it was too big and conservative for him!
Find out what else the conservative Justice Thomas says to the faculty and students at Harvard. It is well worth your time.

Columbia Professor Emlyn Hughes begins the first Frontiers Quantum Physics class with insanity. The professor strips on stage, has Ninja's stab stuffed animals and broadcasts images of historical dictators and terrorist like Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein -- all backed by confusing hip-hop music.
This amateur video recorded by a student in the class shows just how insanely bizarre this presentation really was, with one girl yelling "he has a gun" during the mass confusion. The 'gun' was really just a microphone, but it is easy to see why one might be concerned and suspect a more sinister intent.
You really have to see it to believe it...
The al-Nusra Front released a video showing an ambush in which its fighters simultaneously detonated 50 explosive devices on a Syrian military convoy in the Eastern Ghotah area of Damascus, Syria.
Watch the full interview of Dr. Benjamin Carson with Sean Hannity on Saving America.

**Warning: Loud Explosions**
**Warning: Loud Explosions***

The graffiti on a building in Belgium says it all: "Welcome to 'Belgistan." In fact, some are now calling it the Muslim capital of Europe.
There are so many important points made through Suzanna Hupp's personal story that it is well worth a couple minutes of your time to watch and share with friends.

Watch Chris Kyle's final journey to his resting place in Austin. Here is a 10 mile section of his funeral procession passing through Waxahachie, Texas, with local mourners paying their respect along the route. Even the weather looks somber for the occasion. And our President was, of course, MIA.
Dr. Ben Carson has quickly become a common sense hero to many, calmly countering Obama's vision of big government and divided society. He says that the President needs to stop representing the interests of some income classes and start recognizing that he has a responsibility to all Americans.
Club for Growth's President, former Congressman Chris Chocola, discusses the so-called GOP Civil War and the need for government spending cuts, which he says will likely come in the form of House Republicans allowing the Sequestration to happen.

Keith Morgan, president of the West Virginia Citizens Defense League, appeared on The State Journal's Decision Makers to talk about guns. The interviewer gets completely turned inside out and upside down in a matter of seconds.
Today the mainstream media is obsessed with Marco Rubio taking a sip of water during the GOP Response to Obama last night. Largely overlooked was this strong Tea Party rebuttal by Sen. Rand Paul.
It's sad that so much time has been spent discussing a sip of water now heard 'round the world, but Sen. Marco Rubio handles the subject with humor and manages to again discuss the important points he made (largely overshadowed) in his GOP response to the President.
Watch the now infamous Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union. The actual content of Sen. Marco Rubio's message deserves far more attention than it has received.
New video shows the chaotic scene of the Fort Hood terrorist attack, which the government prefers to describe as 'workplace violence.' Such a politically correct designation means that the heroic victims of this tragedy are denied full recognition and proper medical care, which has caused a growing number to condemn and sue the Obama administration.
Brian Lilley of Sun News gives an important warning to his American friends: registration of firearms will lead to the confiscation of firearms.
Milton Friedman explodes the myth that the Great Depression was produced by a failure of private enterprise. His comments about the Federal Reserve are interesting and especially relevant today.

Modern day 'War of the Worlds'?
On Fox's Cavuto, Dr. Benjamin Carson said he is leaving his position at John Hopkins and may have time for... politics?
Excellent presentation by Professor Eugene Kontorovich on 'The Legal Case for Israel' based on International Law.

Dr. Benjamin Carson explains to Sean Hannity why he felt the need to lecture Obama using logic and common sense.
Pope Benedict's resignation announcement from today, which shocked the world.
Critics of voter ID and other laws cracking down on voter fraud claim they're unnecessary because fraud is nonexistent. For instance, Brennan Center attorneys Michael Waldman and Justin Levitt claimed last year: "A person casting two votes risks jail time and a fine for minimal gain. Proven voter fraud, statistically, happens about as often as death by lightning strike."
Well, lightning is suddenly all over Cincinnati, Ohio.
Michael Moore sounding lucid, for a change. BUT, anyone that saw Bowling For Columbine knows that Moore blamed the shootings on Lockheed. His theory was that the presence of the "war machine" company in the town caused these kids to be violent.
Now, his theory has changed. And I think he's onto something...
Penelope Soto found out what happens when you laugh and give the judge the middle finger.
An awesome and unique speech delivered at the National Prayer Breakfast in President Barack Obama's presence. Dr. Carson (a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital) suggested that political correctness is a "dangerous" threat to free speech and encouraged Americans to share their views without hesitation. Carson then gives his views on education, the national debt, taxation, lawyers and health care -- largely in direct opposition to Obama's own ideas and policies.

Are you skeptical of school choice programs? Do words like private schools, charter schools, vouchers, and tax credits make you uneasy? If so, Prof. Angela Dills argues that there are four things that you should know about school choice before dismissing it as a viable improvement to our education system.
Unbelievable shots from a little kid (Titus Ashby) between 18 and 24 months old. Titus only began shooting baskets shortly after learning to walk, yet he already looks like a pro and displays that human potential is limitless.
Forget the challenge of learning how to walk and talk -- little Tiger already had a 'big drive' at two.
Sean Hannity invited Ann Coulter onto Fox News to discuss President Obama's latest speech on gun violence reduction. Coulter points out, "Connecticut, Aurora, Tucson. These are crazy people. Everything they are telling you that they can do about guns is a lie."

In the latest film, they can be heard saying: "Islam is here in London, Mr. David Cameron, Mr. police officer, whether you like it or not."
"How many of the 3 million Americans that own AR15′s have ever used them to defend themselves at home?"
Law school 101 - don't ask the question unless you know the answer.
The US Department of Homeland Security manages to (1.) lump the Fort Hood jihad attack in with other mass killings, lest we name the enemy you know, and (2.) recommends hiding, escaping, or defending oneself with a pair of scissors if necessary during a mass killing.
No mention of using an equal level of force to defend yourself or others...
A shockingly bad performance.
White House press secretary Jay Carney is grilled about President Obama's decision to not renew the White House Jobs Council.
A suicide bomber has detonated an explosive device at the entrance of the US Embassy in the Turkish capital and at least two people are dead, according to police sources.
