California woman Sabrina Renne Robinson promises boyfriend kinky sex only to torture him for cheating on her

Like the old saying goes, “If it sounds to good be to be true…”

Boyfriend got a big surprise after he got handcuffed to the bed.

Daily Mail

A woman who promised her boyfriend a night of kinky sex has been jailed after handcuffing him to the bed and torturing him for cheating on her.

Sabrina Renne Robinson, from California, poured hot wax over his chest and threatened to 'gut him like a deer' as she sought revenge.

She also smashed him in the face with the butt of a shotgun and repeatedly threatened to kill him.

Police in California said the 33-year-old suspected her boyfriend had been seeing another woman.

She invited her boyfriend to her flat in Fresno, California, and according to police suggested they do 'something kinky'.

The 41-year-old man, who has not been named, stripped naked and allowed himself to be handcuffed to the bed.

But police said when the man was restrained Robinson suddenly turned violent.

Investigators say Robinson burned the man's chest with candle wax, punched his head and body, hit him with the barrel of a shotgun and threatened him with a knife.

While brandishing the knife, Robinson told him 'this is the same type of knife I skin deer with', according to Madera County Sheriff’s Department Eric Stuart.

Atty gen Holder comes to his sense and drops probe against Bush CIA officials over alleged torture

Now that the Obama administration has sucked up every bit of juice from getting Osama bin Laden to sleep with the fish, the least he could do was to stop harassing Bush CIA officials that got the actionable intelligence by using enhanced interrogation.

This investigation was never warranted in the in the first place and was only done to appease Obama’s kook Leftwing base.

I bet they’re crying in their wine glasses tonight on the Westside of New York!

National Journal

The Justice Department will end a wide-ranging probe into the CIA’s past interrogation, rendition, and detention activities, but it will launch a formal criminal investigation into agency officials involved in the deaths of two detainees, Attorney General Eric Holder announced on Thursday.

“The department has determined that an expanded criminal investigation of the remaining matters is not warranted,” Holder said in a statement.

Holder said he accepted the recommendation of longtime federal prosecutor John Durham to proceed with a criminal investigation into the deaths of the two detainees, adding that Durham’s team “reviewed a tremendous volume of information pertaining to the detainees” that included “both information and matters that had never previously been examined by the department.”

the attorney general tapped Durham in 2009 to review cases of alleged detainee mistreatment and death at the hands of CIA interrogators and contractors under the George W. Bush administration.

The probe has been hanging over the CIA, and Holder’s decision to end it was immediately welcomed by key officials.

Notably, Holder made his announcement only minutes before the Senate voted 94-0 to confirm Gen. David Petraeus as the next CIA director. The announcement was also made on the last day for current CIA Director Leon Panetta, who is heading to the Pentagon as the next Defense secretary.

“After extensive examination of more than 100 instances in which CIA had contact or was alleged to have had contact with terrorist detainees, [Durham] has determined that no further law enforcement action is appropriate in all but two discrete cases,” Panetta said in a message to CIA employees.

“No decision has been made to bring criminal charges,” added Panetta, who fiercely defended CIA agents during his tenure. “Both cases were previously reviewed by career federal prosecutors who subsequently declined prosecution. The agency will, of course, continue to cooperate fully in the remaining investigations.”

Mark Halperin suspended by MSNBC for being on point when he called Obama a “dick”

Story

Finally, somebody at the Obama-suck-up cable channel, aka MSNBC had a moment of clarity when reporter Mark Halperin correctly labeled President Obama as a “dick” after he heard the stream of misinformation and class warfare demagoguery coming from the president’s lips yesterday.

Hallelujah!

At least there’s somebody at MSNBC with enough integrity to tell it like it is when we have a president way over his head, unable to talk about his own record since coming to the White House, refusing to accept blame for his own mess, and desperately giving the American people false choices between choosing kids and corporate jets.

That was a shameful, disgusting, and unbecoming of a president performance by Obama yesterday and Halperin nailed him on it.

So now the drones at MSNBC are scrambling to right the ship and put it back on a brown-nosing path.

It won’t take them that long to get back on course.

Public sector employees at NY/NJ agency (Port Authority) paid $30K more than average pay of private sector workers

This is where your tax dollars are going.

The average salary for a worker at New York/New Jersey Port Authority, a bi-state agency that runs both New York city airports, the World Trade Center, the PATH Trains system, and the city’s Hudson River bridge and tunnel crossings, is a whopping $90,000 a year.

That’s a lot more than private sector workers in NYC who take in $60K on average.

Here’s the funny part, a PA spokesman said, “The PA has taken significant steps to control costs.”


New York Post

It pays to work for the Port Authority -- big time. The average salary at the bistate agency hit $90,000 last year -- more than $30,000 above the average salary for private-sector workers in the city -- according to a new analysis by the conservative think tank the Manhattan Institute.

The study found that average salaries at the PA rose about $1,000 over 2009, even as the agency is preparing to propose hiking bridge and tunnel tolls 25 percent next year, from $8 to $10.

"Is it bloat, or is it grounded in necessity? They need to show me," said City Council Minority Leader James Oddo (R-Staten Island). "If they have a good explanation for it, they better put it out there rather quickly."

According to the analysis, the highest-paid PA worker is executive director Christopher Ward, who earned $304,902. The agency's top attorney, Darrell Buchbinder, was No. 2, with $251,758.

The most eye-popping numbers were put up by PA cops, four of whom made the top 10 thanks to huge overtime pay.

Three police sergeants more than doubled their base salaries because of OT. And one of them, Sgt. Edwin Rivera -- No. 8 overall -- pulled down $132,286 on top of his base salary of $103,964 to make him the PA's OT champ for 2010.

Rivera declined to comment.

In a statement, the PA said it "has taken significant steps to control costs . . . the agency is now at its lowest staffing levels in 40 years and will continue its commitment to cutting costs."

The agency has a workforce of about 7,000 -- including a 1,500-member police department -- and operates the region's airports and seaports, the World Trade Center, the PATH train system, and the city's Hudson River bridge and tunnel crossings.

By comparison, the Empire Center said the average employee salary at the MTA in 2009 was dramatically lower, at $69,000.

"We think it's incredibly important that financial data, like the Port Authority's payroll, is available for analysis," the Empire Center said in a statement.

"It helps to paint the whole picture of where our tax dollars go and provides a canvas for taxpayers to make an informed decision about how they think their government is performing
End of story.


Good thing the PA has taken significant steps to keep salaried down. Otherwise these workers may be subject to Obama’s tax hikes for the rich.

Bachmann, too pretty to be a feminist, yet still mistreated by media because she’s a conservative woman

The first major decision Barack Obama ever made was to select Joe Biden as his vice president.

Did you stop laughing now?

It was an early indicator that Obama didn’t know what he was doing. And his time as president has confirmed it with miserable approval ratings.
If I listed all of Joe Biden’s gaffes in his nearly 30 year career as a politician, Google would shut down my blog for excessive memory use.

Yet, he gets to be a heartbeat away from the presidency and the Leftwing media glosses over his incompetence saying, “That’s just Joe!”

However, this past week the media has been all over Bachmann like starving mice looking for cheese trying to derail her presidential aspirations at any costs.


Although they won’t admit it, I think it’s because she’s an attractive married conservative woman that makes most troll-like feminists look worse.

Let’s face it. Feminism has always been a pathway for the “truly ugly”, “not so pretty”, “plain”, and “she’s got a great personality” among us a seat at the table.

That’s why the long knives are out for Bachmann.


The Daily Beast

No girl-power rhetoric here: Michele Bachmann tells Kirsten Powers she’s just an “empowered American” who takes media indignities foreign to the average male pol in stride.

Bachmann seemed loath to engage in the kind of girl-power rhetoric utilized by Palin and Hillary Clinton, who both invoked the perennial—and so far unbreakable—presidential glass ceiling.

Said Bachmann: “I’m a woman comfortable in her own skin. I grew up with three brothers. My parents didn’t see us [as] limited [by gender]. I would mow the lawn and take out the trash; I was making my own fishing lures. I went along with everything the boys did.”

Bachmann is still doing everything the boys do, but as a female candidate she endures indignities that are foreign to your average male pol. Yet she takes it all in stride.

In a joint interview with Bachmann last year, then-Sen. Arlen Specter lectured her to “act like a [lady]” when she strenuously disagreed with him on a point. A recent Rolling Stone diatribe by Matt Taibbi called her “completely batshit crazy” with a “retro-Stepford image.” MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has accused her of being “hypnotized” on the air and has referred to the three-term House member and former tax attorney as a “balloon head.”

True, the media have a field day playing up her every misstep—most recently her assertion that the Founding Fathers “worked tirelessly” to end slavery—but we should know by now what that is about. (Hint: She’s a woman with presidential aspirations.) If Joe Biden’s gaffes had received half the attention of Bachmann’s, nobody would take him seriously, either.

6th circuit court upholds ObamaCare, thanks to G.W. Bush appointee Jeffrey S. Sutton

Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton wrote, “In my opinion, the government has the better of the arguments.” He added, “Not every intrusive law is an unconstitutionally intrusive law.”

What?

How does that make sense? I wish Judge Sutton, who’s obviously a Lindsey Graham-type Republican, that is to say a RINO, had given an example of what the heck he was talking about.
I’m not a lawyer, but I still don’t understand under the concept of Federalism how the federal government can usurp the power of states and force people in all 50 to buy health insurance. That’s unconstitutional on its face. With that logic, the fed govt cam makes people do, or not do anything.

Bye bye, freedom.

Hello United Soviet States!

And the America we used to know is gone forever.

New York Times

The Obama administration on Wednesday prevailed in the first appellate review of the 2010 health care law as a three-judge panel from the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that it was constitutional for Congress to require that Americans buy health insurance.

The ruling by the Cincinnati court is the first of three opinions to be delivered by separate courts of appeal that heard arguments in the health care litigation in May and June. Opinions are expected soon from panels in both the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Va., and the Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta.

Lawyers on both sides of the case widely expect the Supreme Court to take one or more of the cases, perhaps as soon as its coming term, which starts in October. The speed of the Sixth Circuit ruling could help ensure that timing.

The opinion was the first to not break down strictly along seemingly partisan lines. In the 2-to-1 ruling, a judge appointed by a Republican president joined one named by a Democrat to write the majority opinion.

In various cases at the lower District Court level, five judges have divided on the question, with three Democratic appointees backing the law and two Republican appointees rejecting it.

As they look ahead to the Supreme Court, the law’s defenders can take encouragement from the concurring opinion written by Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton, an appointee of President George W. Bush, a Republican. Judge Sutton is typically considered conservative on questions of constitutional reach.

After acknowledging the difficulty of pinpointing the limits on Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce, Judge Sutton wrote, “In my opinion, the government has the better of the arguments.” He added, “Not every intrusive law is an unconstitutionally intrusive law.”

Joining Judge Sutton was Judge Boyce F. Martin Jr., an appointee of President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat. Dissenting on the central issues was Judge James L. Graham, a District Court judge appointed by President Ronald Reagan who is on temporary assignment to the Sixth Circuit.

The appeal, which was heard by the panel on June 1, came in a challenge filed by the Thomas More Law Center, a conservative public interest firm in Ann Arbor, Mich. In its 69-page ruling, the panel upheld Judge George C. Steeh of Federal District Court in Detroit, who concluded that choosing not to buy health insurance was a consequential commercial decision that could be regulated by Congress under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.

I think Sutton’s life is about to become miserable.

Another ethically challenged Dem Rep. Laura Richardson may have some ‘splaining to do to the FBI

Whatever happened to Nancy Pelosi’s promise to drain the swamp of corruption in Washington?

Dem Rep Charlie Rangel-certified tax-cheat who was in charge of writing tax law for the rest of us.

Dem Rep Anthony Weiner-certified freakaziod who spent more of his time sexting woman other than his pregnant wife than he did work for his constituents.

And here come Dem Rep Laura Richardson with her own alleged kind of misconduct.

The Hill

A leading watchdog group is touting new evidence of alleged ethics violations by Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Calif.) and calling for a criminal investigation.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is accusing Richardson of habitually threatening her congressional staff with their jobs if they didn’t work on her campaign, and has asked the FBI to investigate.

“Rep. Richardson presented staffers with an odious choice: work on her campaign, or lose their jobs,” Melanie Sloan, CREW’s executive director, said in a statement. “Astonishingly, in just three short terms, Rep. Richardson has been the subject of at least two ethics investigations. Now a criminal investigation should be added to the list.”

CREW says it also has evidence that Richardson’s staffers were asked to make political contributions and run personal errands on behalf of the three-term lawmaker — a breach of federal laws barring congressional office funds from being used for unofficial purposes.

Richardson’s office fiercely denied the charges, characterizing the claims as old news.

“The allegations in today’s letter released by CREW are not new, and they are based on media accounts, information and claims reported publicly months ago,” spokesman Ray Zaccaro said in an email Tuesday.

In November, the Ethics panel interviewed Richardson’s staff about the allegations of campaign activity, but the status of that investigation is unknown. The Ethics Committee did not respond to a request for comment.

The FBI likewise declined to comment.

Latina beauty Elen Rivas poses nude in ad against bullfighting

The wimpification of the world continues….as PETA is at it again selling sex to make a point.

As a person of Latino heritage, I have nothing against the macho-art of bullfighting. It’s man against beast in a test of courage and skill. These are attributes to be admired and taught to boys and girls with nerve enough to enter the bullfighting ring.

But, PETA a group of guilt ridden navel contemplating sissies, who care more for animals than they do people.

SPANISH beauty Elen Rivas poses naked and bleeding in a hard-hitting campaign against bullfighting.

The ex-fiancée of England footie ace Frank Lampard appears with four spears in her back in the controversial ad by animal rights group PETA.

Model Elen, 36, who recently dated singer Peter Andre, said: "My ad might be graphic, but it's nothing compared to the bloody, violent reality of bullfights.

"Most Spaniards are opposed to this barbaric blood sport, and PETA and I are urging tourists not to be fooled by the industry's propaganda.

"There is absolutely nothing romantic about torturing and killing animals for entertainment."

State run media will go to any length and sink as low as they have to, to try and marginalize any conservative. And the ones who receive the biggest barrage of smears and hit pieces in print, TV and the internet are the candidates the Left fears the most.

But, despite the unfair treatment, Michele Bachmann political star is quickly rising.

Gallup

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who formally announced her presidential candidacy Monday in her hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, enters the race with 69% name recognition among Republicans and ties for the highest Positive Intensity Score of any GOP candidate Gallup tracks.

Bachmann finds herself in a relatively positive position among Republicans as she begins her formal campaign. Her name recognition is up to 69% for the two-week period of June 13-26, having climbed from 52% in late February/early March. This places her fifth among the most well-known Republicans Gallup measures, behind Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and Ron Paul, but well ahead of Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman, and several other competitors. Bachmann's Positive Intensity Score of 24 ties with Herman Cain's as the highest such score of any candidate, and is her highest to date. Bachmann's ability to maintain her relatively high Positive Intensity Score as she has become better known distinguishes her from several of her competitors.

NAACP honcho Karen Boykin-Towns sends her kid to posh boarding school as she files suit to deny low-income Black children entry into Charter schools

This story will definitely fall through the cracks as to the national attention it deserves. The NAACP, the once vital organization who fought for the advancement of African Americans, has sadly morphed into apparatchiks of the Democrat Party.

Instead of fighting for better education for low-income Blacks, the NAACP sides with Teacher’s unions to crush the Charter school movement that out performs traditional failing public schools.

It’s a money thing, you see!

Charter schools employ teachers that are non-union. And the United Federation of Teachers hates that because they can’t collect union dues to give to Democrat politicians.

But, to add insult to insanity, a NAACP bigwig sends her daughter to an exclusive New England boarding school. She ain’t sending her kid to a failing school. But, let the poor Black folks be doomed to an inferior school system.

New York Post

A prominent NAACP leader is sending her child to a posh New England boarding school at the same time the civil-rights group is suing to block low-income parents from educating their kids in charter schools, The Post has learned.

Karen Boykin-Towns, who heads the group's Brooklyn branch and serves on its national board, enrolls her daughter, Jasmine, at the bucolic, 80-acre Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, which charges up to $45,000 in annual tuition.

Her husband is Darryl Towns, the state housing commissioner and former Brooklyn state assemblyman who voted to increase the cap on charter schools last year.


Her father-in-law is veteran Brooklyn Congressman Ed Towns.

"We know you are selective about your future . . . We're equally selective at Brewster. We want only the very best students," the school says in its brochure.

Students there study with Apple laptops and play Frisbee on the shoreline of majestic Lake Winnipesaukee, which abuts the campus.

Boykin-Towns defended the boarding-school enrollment of her daughter in light of the NAACP suit.

"I'd simply say that as a parent, the most important job you have is to provide the best opportunities possible for your children's education and success," Boykin-Towns said in an e-mail response to The Post.

Is Bachmann getting John Wayne’s birthplace wrong really worse than Barack Obama forgetting that he’s a Christian?

And so the Palinization of Michele Bachmann by the Leftwing blosoasphere begins!

In an interview of Michele Bachmann, she stated that John Wayne was born in Waterloo, Iowa. As a huge John Wayne fan myself, I knew he was born in Winterset, Iowa. However, his parents met, fell in love, and were married in Waterloo and lived there for time before moving to Winterset.

Video from Fox News

No big deal, right?

Not for the Leftwing whack jobs—they are putting out the comical idea that Bachmann cited the wrong John Wayne, and saying she was referring to serial killer John Wayne Gacy who was born in Waterloo.

How convoluted is that?

John Wayne was born in 1907. Gacy was born in 35 years later in 1942 at the height of Wayne’s popularity as a movie star. No doubt Gacy was named after Wayne. But, the Leftwing loonies want people to think that Bachmann was thinking about a serial killer.

The Politico

Michele Bachmann misstated Iowa (and Hollywood) history when she said John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa, but she may have been thinking of Wayne's parents, who had at least a brief connection to the town.

From the biography, "John Wayne: American":Clyde [Wayne's father] was twenty and Molly [his mother] was nineteen when they met. She fell in love with him because he was kind, handsome and well educated. He would, she thought, be easy to live with and a good provider. They had not dated long and did not know each other very well, but Clyde was about to take a job at a pharmacy in Waterloo, Iowa, and they decided to get married. Rather than bother with a church wedding, they eloped, traveling to Knoxville, in Marion County, where Justice of the Peace I.H. Garrison married them on September 29, 1905. They made their first home in Waterloo …

The instability that stalked them for the rest of their time together appeared early. They both wanted to leave Waterloo and get closer to their parents. Molly was emotionally tied to her mother and father, as was Clyde to his family. Waterloo was more than 115 miles from Des Moines and 150 miles from Indianola … Winterset, the county seat of Madison County, was about 35 miles from Des Moines and only 20 miles from Indianola, perfect for both of them. They rented a small frame house on South Second Street in Winterset and started a new life there.

So, we can play these games too. How about Barack Obama forgetting his religion? Or is he really a Muslin?

I wanna thank Ryan for sharing these pics & if you want to see more of his cool artwork then just click HERE!

2011 Hot Wheels ARKHAM ASYLUM BATMOBILE - New Batman Toy Car Packaging

This isn't earth-shattering news but there are some Hot Wheels Collectors out there who will find this important. OK, you know the New 2011 Hot Wheels BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM BATMOBILE Car that is out there? Well, it's been seen with variant packaging where one has the BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Logo on it. Now, the cars are exactly the same, it's just a variation on the package design. Mattel is sort of known for doing that kinda thing, ha! Personally I like this new one with the logo because it makes it more of a piece of Bat-Merchandise. ( Thanks Chris )

Chris Wallace apologizes for “flake” question. But it wasn’t necessary!

Unlike Liberal Left Wing media who protected Barack Obama by not vetting him like other past presidents, Chris Wallace asked a legitimate question that’s out there concerning how some view Michele Bachmann.

Bachmann handled the tough question deftly and increased in stature, in my opinion.

Let’s get real here! The whole reason President Obama is sitting in the White House is because the Main Stream Media acted like PR reps rather than true journalists.

And to some of my fellow conservative bloggers that took offense to the question, get a grip! We’re conservatives, we’re not afraid of tough questions because we got better ideas to fix this country.

So Wallace is a stand up guy and more professional that the Chris Matthews’s, Keith Olbermann’s and Rachel Maddow’s combined!

So let’s ease up on Chris for doing his job, and lets have more faith in our candidates to be able to handle the heat. We’re not like the other side who offers nothing but puff balls and rubs their candidate’s necks on interviews!

Video Spotlight: Michele Bachmann’s home run interview on Fox News Sunday June 26, 2011 looking extremely presidential

Bachmann knocks this interview out-the-park despite some bloggers getting freaked out about Chris Wallace asking her is she a flake.

She deftly handled the question with her extremely high credentials that are leaps and bounds over the community organizer from the Southside of Chicago masquerading as president.

I’m surprised at how even conservative bloggers are spooked by the “flake” question. Relax, and grow some nuts! Michele handled her business fine.

British magician-Dynamo seemingly walks on water by crosses the River Thames on foot

Really nice trick!

Obviously the man is using some sort of flotation device on his feet. I don’t highly he’s the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Well done nonetheless!





Daily Mail

Most magicians are capable of unbelievable feats, after all it's their stock in trade, but how many have unbelievable feet?

Dynamo, whose real name is Steve Frayne, has showed some rather nifty feet as he walked on water for his latest jaw-dropping stunt.

The Bradford-born illusionist, 28, made it half way across the stretch of the river in front of the Houses of Parliament in London before he was picked up by a River Police boat.
