It’s been obvious for a while that establishment Republicans are afraid of a Gingrich candidacy. Or is it a Gingrich presidency they’re afraid of?
Check out this link and read Rush Limbaugh’s description of what he remembers of Newt Gingrich and Ronald Reagan.
In light of George Soros’ prediction that the OWS/class warfare movement is going to turn violent:
As anger rises, riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable. “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”
It looks like the U.S. government is preparing…
LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Joint military training exercises will be held evenings in downtown Los Angeles through Thursday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The LAPD will be providing support for the exercises, which will also be held in other portions of the greater Los Angeles area, police said.
Training sites “have been carefully selected to ensure the event does not negatively impact the citizens of Los Angeles and their daily routine,” a department official said.
The training, which a department official said would involve helicopters, has been coordinated with local authorities and owners of the training sites, police said.
Police said safety precautions have been taken to prevent risk to the general public and military personnel involved.
The exercises are closed to the public, police said.
The exercises are designed to ensure the military’s ability to operate in urban environments, prepare forces for upcoming overseas deployments, and meet mandatory training certification requirements, police said.

Via, Morning Jolt, from a former big-time consultant for Freddie Mac:
A $1 million contract at Freddie was chump change. Almost charity. Our firm, which shall remain nameless but focused on IT development and mortgage policy, ran anywhere from $50 million to $80 million annually during our heyday. If a staffer of mine came to me with a new $1 million dollar add-on, and he or she was young and starting out, then I’d make a medium deal out of it. If it was one of my seasoned managers then I would wonder why he was bugging me with a job that small. And the fact that Newt had it spread over more than one year makes it even smaller.
The article says Gingrich was, in effect, ‘lobbying;’ however, his contract specifically prohibited him from lobbying.
These are facts of which Mitt Romney is, of course, well aware, but the average American may not be…
Something good for a change…
