BREAKING: Obama Talks Gun Control During Education Speech in New York Posted: 25 Oct 2013 01:16 PM PDT The president addressed a crowd in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park today. Inevitably, the speech, which was supposed to be about education, turned to gun control. Via Newsbusters on Twitter.

Police Officer Goes Above and Beyond to Rescue Dog From Car Accident Posted: 25 Oct 2013 12:54 PM PDT Sometimes, in the world of Second Amendment and political activism, negative stories involving police officers can become commonplace. However, most officers are good people who want to make a positive impact on their communities. Today we’d like to point out the actions of South Londonderry, PA Patrolman Nick Ague from back in August. Ague ran […]  |

That is exactly what happened in this case, which is the 999th defensive gun use we’ve documented (1,000 coming later today!). […]  |

FOX News First: Oct. 25
By Chris Stirewalt
HILLARY BUILDS HER LIBERAL FIREWALL
Hillary Clinton was the star attraction at the ultra-liberal Center for American Progress’ annual gala, what the group calls its “Progressive Party.” Clinton, who was tossed aside by liberal voters in the 2008 Democratic primaries, isn’t taking any chances for 2016. “Progressive ideas have helped make this country the greatest force for human liberty, dignity and opportunity the world has ever known,” she said. She also noted the country’s challenges, which leave it “careening from crisis to crisis” and said she sought a strategy based on “data and evidence, not ideology.” Clinton joked of the group’s 10th anniversary: “When does the cake come out? I was going to jump out of the cake.” Watch video from the group here.
[Soros is REALLY ready for Hillary - Washington Examiner: “George Soros, the billionaire Democratic donor, will join the pro-Hillary Clintonsuper PAC Ready for Hillary as a co-chair … after contributing $25,000 to the group…”]
Insurance policy - To avoid the liberal upset she faced in 2008, Clinton will need help from the group founded by her husband’s former Chief of Staff, John Podesta. Podesta helped steer President Obama’s transition in 2009 and the group has grown immensely in stature on the left during the Obama era. Clinton and CAP’s leaders haven’t always been on the same page. While Clinton indicated she supported building the Keystone Pipeline in 2010, the organization opposes it. (It’s worth noting Clinton later walked back that position, denying a permit for the project as Secretary of State.) During the 2008 campaign, Obama used Clinton’s initial support for attacking Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to drive a wedge between Clinton and liberal voters. Podesta’s group strongly opposed the war.
[The Washington Free Beacon’s Matthew Continetti sums up the group’s power and influence: “Over the last decade the Center for American Progress…[has established itself] among the most influential policy and activist organizations in America. CAP has revenues of $34 million. Its alumni occupy positions inside the Obama administration, in media, in business, and in the academy…From its headquarters on H Street, in downtown D.C., CAP exerts pull over the Democratic Party like no other liberal institution. The right has no equal.”]
The group is making clear its loyalty to Clinton. Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden, formerly a longtime Clinton aide, introduced the Democratic frontrunner warmly at the event, and also penned an essay in Politico, entitled “Hillary Clinton is no quitter.” She wrote, “Believe it or not, none of her longtime friends know whether she’ll run for president in 2016.”

Bubba goes big for McAuliffe - Former President Bill Clinton will stump for long-time friend and fundraiser, Democrat Terry McAuliffe, in a multi-day campaign swing through Virginia starting Sunday in Hampton Roads. Stops include a Monday visit to Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and Roanoke Wednesday.
AS PRESSURE MOUNTS, SEBELIUS STAYS OUT OF TOWN
As calls for her resignation mount, Health and Human Services SecretaryKathleen Sebelius continues her sales calls for ObamaCare in Texas today, traveling to Austin and San Antonio to push enrollment in the new entitlement program. After refusing to testify before lawmakers this week, Sebelius has agreed to face questioning on Tuesday. Sebelius was defiant when confronted by reporters with the growing demands for her ouster saying “no one is getting fired” over the crash and that those who want her to resign “are people who I don’t work for.”
[President Obama will host two fundraisers in New York tonight. Daily Caller has more.]
CONTRACTORS BLAME ADMINISTRATION FOR CRASH
Federal contractors called to testify about their roles in ObamaCare’s failed Web site laid the blame on poor government testing. CGI Vice President Cheryl Campbell contended, “It was not our position to tell our client whether they should go live or not go live.” More from Fox News.

“Who knows if those services are ever going to be delivered? People have been told they lost their insurance. Millions of Americans have to sign up. They can't figure it out. It's just a mess.” – House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., on “The Kelly File.”
IF OBAMA HAD TO BE ON OBAMACARE
Washington Examiner: “Under Obamacare, even President Obamawould see a shocking jump in insurance costs by more than 48 percent in some state insurance exchanges such as Wisconsin’s where he could potentially see his total premium and out of pocket costs skyrocket from $21,707 a year to $32,200.”
OBAMACARE CANCELLATIONS OUTWEIGH SIGN-UPS
Daily Caller reports that insurance cancellations under ObamaCare are so far exceeding the number of those signing up for the new entitlement program. Of late, 300,000 cancellation notices have gone out in Florida, 20 percent of plans have been cancelled in Pennsylvania and close to 800,000 New Jersey residents will lose their plans in 2014. According to reports, 476,000 users have created ObamaCare accounts. The administration hasn’t yet provided numbers on how many have gained coverage.
[Watch Fox: Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, of the House Energy and Commerce Committee appears in the 10 a.m. ET hour]
PHISHING FOR AN APOLOGY
Sen. Ted Cruz’s joke that it seemed like Nigerian email scammers were running the ObamaCare Web site drew the ire of Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United States, Ade Adefuye. Speaking to Politico, Adefuye demanded an apology from Cruz saying, “Nigerians are very law abiding.” Last year, 51 percent of all email scams were found to have originated in Nigeria.
WILL OBAMACARE CRASH SHUT OUT SHUTDOWN?
Campaign Carl Cameron is looking at whether Democrats will really be able to use shutdown fallout next year against the GOP now that it looks like the ObamaCare launch debacle may take months to fix. Democrats who opposed the GOP’s calls for delays a couple weeks ago are now proposing their own.
[Kimberly Strassel: “The White House's problem is that political cracks like this don’t get patched; they grow. Until this week, the administration could write off the 20-odd House Democrats who voted with Republicans this summer to delay parts of the law as victims of a tough vote orchestrated by the GOP. But now a numerically significant number of Senate Democrats have, on their own, signaled that it is acceptable for members of the president's party to demand consequential ObamaCare changes.”]
DEM DISSATISFACTION SPIKES
A new Fox News poll shows 73 percent of voters dissatisfied with the direction of the country. That’s a substantial jump from this time last year, when 53 percent were dissatisfied. Much of the current overall decline in satisfaction comes from Democrats. Forty-one percent of Democrats are satisfied with the direction of the country today, down from 54 percent in July and 77 percent in October 2012. That’s a 36 percentage-point slide over the past year.

GUN RIGHTS CENTER STAGE IN VA DEBATE
Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Democrat Terry McAuliffe squared off in their final gubernatorial debate Thursday. The pair clashed over gun rights at Virginia Tech, the scene of one of the nation’s most infamous mass shootings which is also located in Southwestern Virginia, one of the most pro-gun rights regions of the Old Dominion. McAuliffe stood strong for gun control saying, “I don't care what grade I got from the NRA... I never want to see another Newtown or Aurora or Virginia Tech ever again.” Cuccinelli trashed his rival as “unserious” on policy, saying “I like education. I like puppies. But I don’t bring a puppy home if I don’t have a plan for how I’m going to deal with that puppy. ... And he’s all puppy and no plan.” Fox News has more.

REALLY SWEET
A kind gesture for a Navy family by a Publix supermarket in Jacksonville won the Internet this week. When Alicia Jones went to pick up a red velvet cake she had ordered to welcome her husband Jonathan Joneshome for two weeks of shore leave, she also found a note from the store manager saying the cake was free of charge. “Please enjoy your time with your family. Thank you so much for your sacrifice.” The Navy wife, brought to tears by the small gesture, posted a photo of the note to Publix’s Facebook page with her thanks. You can guess what happened next.

Borderland Beat...

Captured Manuel Aguirre Galindo, "El Caballo" one of the founders of AFO Posted: 24 Oct 2013 10:43 PM PDT Borderland Beat  Although federal authorities have not officially released the arrest of the "financial brain" Arellano Felix Cartel (CAF), Manuel Aguirre Galindo, it has been learned that he was transferred to the maximum security prison "Altiplano" in Almoloya.  According to information from Reforma, the finance manager of the criminal organization was captured on Saturday October 19 in Mexico City, one day after Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix "la Pancha" was killed in Baja California Sur. Manuel Aguirre, about 70 years old and who also calls himself Estanislao Olmos González and “El Galán,” is designated as the major money launderer for CAF.   Among other properties with which the U.S. authorities identified Manuel Aguirre Galindo as the financial leader of the group related to the Oasis Resort built in 1998 in Baja California. Manuel Aguirre has a criminal record since 1981 when he was arrested for alleged involvement in drug crimes in the vicinity of San Felipe, Baja California, by offloading drugs in a clandestine airport runway and is reported to launder money through the resort Oasis Resort Playa Mar, Manuel Aguirre Galindo's arrest took place in Mexico City by the Federal Police; However, so far the capture has not been officially announced, and the Attorney General of the Republic said he is still being interrogated with the Specialized Investigation of Organized Crime (Seido) Attorney.  Nationality: Mexican Nickname: El Caballo Cartel Affiliation: Arellano-Felix Manuel Aguirre Galindo, aka " El Caballo" is most recognized for his use of a network of financial association and real estate companies to hide and launder his drug monies. He is affilated with the Arellano-Felix organization and has been for over fifteen years. Aguirre Galindo has a long criminal history as a major Mexican drug trafficker. In January 2002, Aguirre Galindo was designated by OFAC pursuant to the Kingpin Act. The Kingpin Act involves appling financial measures against foreign narcotics trafficking kingpins worldwide. In July 2003, he and other senior members of the Arellano- Felix Organization (AFO) were indicted for narcotics trafficking, money laundering and conducting the affairs of an illegal enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity (RICO). In January, 2006, the OFAC identified five companies and six individuals whom have acted as fronts for Aguirre Galindo. By exposing his accomplices and the fronting companies, it will cut them off from the United States and its financial institutions. Alberto Alfredo Valencia Martinez, Urbano Hernandez Somero and Manuel Francisco Aguirre Ramos (Aguirre Galindo's son) are among the accomplices identified. These individuals served to incorporate, administer and hold front companies on Aguirre Galindo's behalf. The companies involved included the following Tijuana real estate firms; Playa Mar S.A. de C.V., Inmobiliaria Esparta S.A. de C.V., Inmobiliaria La Provincia S.A. de C.V., Inmobiliaria Estado 29 S.A. de C.V., and Inmobiliaria Tijuana Costa S.A. de C.V.. The resulting effect of the OFAC identifing these 11 designess is the blocking of any assets found within U.S. jurisdiction and prohibits anyone in the United States from doing business with these named individuals and entities. Manuel Aguirre Galindo is a fugitive from the US Dept of Justice and has a $2 million dollar reward for information leading to his arrest. Sources: Zeta, Riodoce, Narcoticnews, Jornada |
