Doocy advances false claim that VA county immigration law lowered crime rates
On Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy and guest Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William County, Virginia, board of supervisors, falsely claimed that the county's controversial immigration law reduced violent crime and has never been altered. In fact, Prince William County's violent crime rates actually increased in 2009; the law was modified in 2008 to avoid legal challenges; and a University of Virginia study of the law shows that it has not led to a reduction in crime.

Right-wing media push Kyl's flatly denied claim that Obama said he won't "secure the border"
Right-wing blogs have seized on Sen. Jon Kyl's (R-AZ) claim that President Obama is refusing to "secure the border" in order to force the GOP to support comprehensive immigration reform -- a claim the White House has since flatly denied. Indeed, the Obama administration has already taken numerous steps to boost border security but argues that "truly securing the border will require a comprehensive solution," which is a view shared by immigration experts as well as several Republicans.

Despite contractor corruption, Beck and Napolitano back use of "private army" in Afghanistan
Glenn Beck and Andrew Napolitano endorsed the idea of a "private army," with Beck claiming there are "private individuals that could probably take care of things in Afghanistan better." In fact, in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. government has made widespread use of private contractors who have been accused of waste and fraud and been allegedly implicated in the deaths of military personnel and civilians.

Rahm Emanuel Expected to Quit White House

Breaking from Newsmax.com

Rahm Emanuel Expected to Quit White House

A British newspaper reported Sunday that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is expected to quit within six to eight months in frustration at the Obama administration's unwillingness to "bang heads together" to get policy pushed through.

The story in the London Sunday Telegraph says that while Emanuel, 50, "enjoys a good working relationship with Mr Obama," both men have reached an understanding that differences over style mean he will serve only half the full four-year term.

Emanuel's friends tell the paper that he is also worried about burnout and losing touch with his young family due to the pressure of one of most high profile jobs in US politics.

"I would bet he will go after the midterms," a leading Democratic consultant in Washington tells the paper. "Nobody thinks it's working but they can't get rid of him – that would look awful. He needs the right sort of job to go to but the consensus is he'll go."

An official from the Bill Clinton era said that "no one will be surprised" if Mr Emanuel left after the midterm elections in November, when the Democratic party will battle to save its majorities in the house of representatives and the Senate.

The story depicts the clash as being between a "pragmatic Mr Emanuel, a veteran in Congress where he was known for driving through compromises," and an ideological staff that supposedly is closer to the president's goals and desires.

"It might not be his fault, but the perception is there," said the consultant, who asked not to be named. "Every vote has been tough, from health care to energy to financial reform.

"Democrats have not stood behind the president in the way Republicans did for George W Bush, and that was meant to be Rahm's job."

There were sharp differences over health care reform, with Emanuel arguing that public hostility about cost should have forced them into producing a scaled down package, according to the paper. But Obama and advisers including David Axelrod, the chief strategist, and Valerie Jarrett, a businesswoman and mentor from Chicago, decided to push through with grander legislation anyway.

Amb. Marc Ginsberg: Is Iran Actually Containing the U.S.?

2010-06-21-capt.9720bd415e3448ab81aac11b860e67359720bd415e3448ab81aac11b860e67350.jpg

AP

Amb. Marc Ginsberg: As sanctions are increasingly fine tuned, Iran will surely be more "contained," and find it far more economically painful to continue thumbing its nose at the world. So it would seem. But Iran has been feverishly constructing its own containment policy to neutralize sanctions and straightjacket any military designs against its nuclear facilities. As the clock ticks toward a showdown with Iran, will it succeed -- or miscalculate -- that it can thwart an attack by Israel or the U.S. against its nuclear enrichment facilities?


Robert Reich: My Father and Alan Greenspan

We can manage the Greenspan Debt if we get the U.S. economy growing again. The only way to do that when consumers can't and won't spend and when corporations won't invest is for the federal government to pick up the slack.

Caroline Gluck: Signs of Niger's Worsening Food Crisis

Niger is one of the poorest countries, and it has the fastest population growth in the world. Though it often experiences periodic droughts, this year has been worse than most.

Byron Williams: BP Fund Is a Good Start in Spite of Claims to the Contrary

How can any elected official in America even appear to side with BP and against its own government in what is the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history?

John Zogby: Manute Bol: The Real NBA Hero

Manute was so much more than an NBA legend. He was living proof that none of us could ever claim that we had a bad day. Manute had seen so much more than any of us and he triumphed.

Sandy Goodman: David Brooks May Seem Reasonable, but He's With Barton Underneath

While Rep. Barton's outrageous apology to BP was "politically an unbelievably stupid thing," Brooks said, there was "a kernel of truth at the core" of the Texas Republican's speech. That kernel, according to Brooks, was "that we are a nation of laws."
