AG-Kanes just-released 166-page report report on how Corbett handled the Sandusky investigation
concluded precisely what Id predicted; although it CLEARED CORBETT OF POLITICAL MOTIVATION, IT
CRITICIZED 'INEXCUSABLE LACK OF URGENCY' IN CHARGING SANDUSKY.

AG-Kanes investigation did find crucial missteps and inexplicable delays in bringing
(Sandusky) a serial child molester to justice. See and investigator H. Geoffrey Moulton
Jr. discussed the findings at a news conference at 10:30 a.m. in the Capitol Building.

This was a full and fair review, Kane said in a prepared statement. The facts show an
inexcusable lack of urgency in charging and stopping a serial sexual predator. The report
documents that more investigative work took place in just one month in 2011 than in
all of either 2009 or 2010.

The report is critical of Corbetts investigation for, among other things, waiting more
than two years to search Sanduskys home.

Prosecutor Jonelle Eshbach recommended charges against Sandusky in March 2010
based on statements from Victim 1, but the AGs office wanted to find more victims to
strengthen the case before prosecuting. The decision is attributed in the report to
Sandusky prosecutor Frank Fina, and was later endorsed by Corbett; those involved
told Moulton the decision was based on the merits of the case, not politics.

Evidence later found in Sanduskys home could have pointed investigators to
additional victims, cutting the need for a delay. The AGs office also delayed
requesting records from local police, child protective services and The Second Mile,
among others.

AG-Kane: This case sat inactive for months while a predator was on the streets and a
victim waited for justice. The grand jury presentment, drafted and supported by the
lead prosecutor, sat on someones desk for five months. Only after the lead prosecutor
repeatedly pushed for an answer, the presentment was denied. It is unfathomable
why there was such a lack of urgency.

Later in the investigation, efforts to obtain records that had been subpoenaed from
Penn State and The Second Mile but not turned-over consumed considerable time and
energy. Prosecutors had significant difficultly getting certain records from Penn State
and Sanduskys charity, which undoubtedly slowed the investigation.

The report did not find evidence that Corbett delayed the investigation for political
reasons while he ran for governor. Contributions to Corbetts campaign by The Second
Mile board members also werent found to be a factor in the investigation.

While the failure to contact The Second Mile before January 2011 is indeed puzzling
that failure does not appear to have been the product of directions from Corbett or his
senior executive staff, Moulton wrote in the report.

Also according to the report:

Eshbach, the lead investigator, and Fina, her boss, thought the
investigation should be handled through a grand jury. They reasoned
that there were advantages such as the power to compel testimony
under oath, the ability to subpoena documents not otherwise
obtainable and the ability to keep certain testimony secret.

But the report notes that for long stretches of time before the
investigation ramped up in 2011, the resources of the Grand Jury were
barely used at all. From the beginning of January 2010 through the end
of October 2010, for example, the Grand Jury issued no subpoenas for
testimony and only one subpoena for records.

Corbett, who was offered a chance to respond to the report, declined to
do so in a memo attached to the document.

Fina, fellow Sandusky prosecutor Joe McGettigan and others who
worked on the case, issued a response that included a number of
criticisms of the report.

The contention that a search warrant could have been served prior to
2011, for instance, is factually and legally offensive, they said.

And the report blithely ignores and misconstrues the facts and law that
led to our prudent decision to forgo a search warrant until 2011, when
they further built their case, they wrote.

Sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison and is serving his
time in solitary confinement at the Greene state prison.

The Iraqi-situation continues to stun BHO, notwithstanding the looming threat of an Islamist-Nation:

The situation in Iraq is bad and getting worse

The New York Times reports that ISIL insurgents have captured the last major border
post between Iraq and Syria as the Sunni militants continue to advance towards
Baghdad. Iraqi and western officials tell the Times that the taking of the border town of
Al Qaim after a three-day fight opened the way for fighters and weapons to move over
the border with ease and was a worrying development.

+ An international intervention seems less and less likely. Reuters reports that Iran
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has condemned the U.S. deployment of 300
military advisers in Iraq on Sunday, accusing Washington of seeking control as Sunni
insurgents drove toward Baghdad from the Syrian border and consolidated positions in
the north and west. Cooperation between Iran and the U.S. to contains the ISIL was
previously considered by Western lawmakers as a possibility, if a longshot.

+ BuzzFeeds Mike Giglio observes that all is not well for regular Iraqi citizens in
Baghdad: Fears of sectarian conflict have been driving some Sunnis to flee Baghdad, as
ISIL militants push toward the capital. In Baghdad, Shiite volunteers have rushed to
take up arms; Sunnis have begun looking at their neighbors with increasing alarm,
writes Giglio. The sectarian bloodletting that rocked the city during the U.S. occupation
hangs heavy, as does the fact that Maliki has only tightened his grip on the capital since
the Americans left.

As Israel [and others] increasingly recognize that Palestinian 'Peace' Talk is Cheap, it seems a New
Palestinian Intifada has arisen Against Abbas; the search for the three-teens [by Hamas] has provided a
certain secondary-gain, as dozens of suspected Palestinian terror tunnels and weapons labs were
discovered in Judea/Samaria. As the fight against worldwide Islamism continued [Egypt Sentenced 3 Al-
Jazeera Reporters To 7 Years (along the aforementioned death-sentences) and the EU sanctioned 12
Syrian ministers for rights abuses (a meaningless gesture)], how Malaysia has positioned itself in this
regard continued to remain newsworthy [Malaysia's top court: 'Allah' for Muslims only and MH370'S
CAPTAIN RAN SIMULATIONS OF REMOTE AIRSTRIP LANDINGS DAYS BEFORE TAKEOFF (curious)].
Through it all, the U.N. Promoted Iran to Top Post [vice chair of the General Assemblys (GA) legal

meetings, and have a leading voice in the most important debates about the international body; also,
Iran and Russia Signed Deal to Build [another] Two Nuclear Plants.

BB on NBCs Meet the Press advised the US that, When your enemies are fighting one
another, don't strengthen either one of them." Weaken them both, he said. He

pale in comparison."

of the American TEA [Taxed-Enough-Already] Party Movement has spread abroad [e.g., 'German Tea
Party' Rattles Merkel]; the term populism is forever subject to being morphed into whatever a given
demagogue might desire. A Historical perspective on WW-I suggested it was purposefully triggered by
dangerous men [Journalists and pundits have relied on a few select metaphors to describe the
consequences of the assassination (of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, as they rode

Regarding Illegals, 300 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE FLOWN FROM TEXAS
TO SAN DIEGO, presaging the fact that Immigrant Children are going to remain Able to Stay for Years
'Without Consequences'; meanwhile, in various ways, increased federal-$ is being sought as a result of
this invasion [Mayors call on Congress to tackle illegal immigration; Massachusetts Mayor to Feds: Stop
Sending my City Refugees; FOREIGN CORPSES STRAIN TEXAS COUNTY BUDGET; NORTH TEXAS CHARITIES
FEEL STRAIN OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TIDAL WAVE; and BORDER PATROL STATIONS IN DIRE NEED OF
MEDICAL HELP AND SUPPLIES]. As ILLEGALS HOP 'DEATH TRAINS' TO USA, Canada Slashed Guest-Worker
Permits in Half. This is how Immigration Reform's Open Invitation to Children has been framed by libs
[c/o New York Times]:

The mere promise of amnesty in the future has played a role in the surge of children
trying to cross the border.

One answer, consistent and sincere, is that the child migration really shows we need an
open border [one that does away with the problems of asylum hearings and
deportations] eliminates the need for dangerous journeys across deserts and
mountains, and just lets the kids relatives save up for a plane ticket. Come one, come
all.

But this is not the answer that President Obama or the congressional architects of an
immigration bill would offer. Instead, the official promise is always that well get
amnesty and a system of enforcement that will deter and deport and police employers
more effectively [so that major crises dont recur, future migration happens mostly
through legal channels, and this comprehensive reform can be the last].

But if this is actually the goal, then why not first prove that a more effective
enforcement system can actually be built, and only then codify an offer of legal status?

Because when that offer seems to be forthcoming, if you havent built it, they will come.

Regarding the culture-clash, the quest to find a secular alternative to God is long, arduous, and
continuing, as myriad parameters are weighed [Reason, nature, culture, the sublime, science, humanity,
being, society]. On the one hand, the libs [falsely] claim Two-Parent Households Can Be Lethal; on the
other hand, social-conservatives [falsely] claim deviating from traditional marriage Is Hurting Kids
Futures; the former is based on presence of an abusive parent, and the latter is based upon the fact that
57% of mothers between 26 and 31 are unmarried when their child is born. The only reasonable way to
define common-ground is to allow the victimless behavior [not crime] of gay-marriage to be legal.

Regarding gun-laws, the WaPo falsely claimed the Individual Right to Gun Ownership
was Created by the Supreme Court in 2008; it is noted that COURT DOCUMENTS show
the OREGON GUNMAN STOLE HIS AR-15 and that Another 5 Killed, 19 Wounded in
Chicago's Weekend Violence. Again, people kill people, not guns.

Politico's Raju claimed it is 'Not Entirely Clear' What Dems Stand For, but THE LEFT HAS REBOOTED FOR
TOTAL WAR, noting that the vast liberal conspiracy [manifest, for example, as Democracy Alliances 21
groups] intends to spend $374 million during the midterm election cycle; Democracy Alliance [a major
left-wing dark money outfit] finances and help run [serving as top advisers and officers of] Obamas
personal advocacy group. These efforts are being manifest today @ an Obama summit (co-sponsored by
the Department of Labor and Center for American Progress), which will hit Dem talking points at which a
(politically) star-studded convocation will address policies that allegedly-alleviate problems faced by
working families; the punch-line in its suggestion of A way to better pay, benefits and workplace
flexibility is Unions. Perhaps as a prelude, yesterdays NY-Times attacked The Corporate Daddy
Walmart, Starbucks, etc.] as necessitating a Fight Against Inequality.

RANGEL may be having his LAST HURRAH, for the New York Dem is facing his most
serious reelection battle; Gov. Cuomo endorsed Rep. Rangel in NY primary and Rangel is
dancing to finish line ahead of vote, but he fought changing demographics [many more
Hispanics] and voter apathy while his challenger dismissed polls showing him behind.

Counterpointing the ability of Dems to run the cities is the fact that Nearly Half Of Detroit Residents
Can't Pay Water Bills, and the UN May Be Called-In For Help; counterpointing the claim of Michelle
Obamas anti-obesity campaign that salad bars have increased student participation in school lunch,
know that one million children fled the lunch line in response to her new lunch standards. It has also
been revealed that elijah-cummings was implicated-by-irs-email-as-person-directing-lois-lerner; its no
wonder that GEORGE W. BUSH IS SIX POINTS HIGHER THAN BARACK OBAMA IN FAVORABILITY POLL and
that Fournier [a GOP-Moderate] concluded that Obama Lies as Bad as Bush.

There have been two responses to the Free Beacon s publication of The Hillary Tapes
[...] and Josh Rogins breathtaking, heartrending interview with the victim of that rape;
one was ho-hum [by Dems] and the other was that of Powers and Stirewalt, who blasted
the University of Arkansas Librarian [a Clinton Donor] for Attack on Free Press.
Regarding the instruction Hillary said she refused to carry-out [It Was Hillarys JOB to Be
Scummy!] because some felt it was a Winning Political Argument, contradicting her
book, Plouffe claimed no one in the campaign Asked Hillary to Attack Palin. Illustrating
her problem with messaging [highlighted today by Rush] were her revised claims [Hillary
Clinton: Bill and I Aren't 'Truly Well Off' and We're not truly 'well off,' Hillary says,
despite the fact that the Clintons have made millions; as a result, the WaPo suggested
the Clintons wealth could become a political liability [for Some Dems fear the 2016
front-runner seems more Downtown Abbey than middle-class America]. {Indeed,
apparently, Hillary wants credit for paying income tax.}


The GOPs Civil-War continues apace, on all levels. Regarding POTUS-16, Jeffrey Toobin portrayed Ted
Cruz as The Absolutist; a Christie-Backed Casino [Revel] is Going Bust in AC,NJ; and Paul aimed for
minority voters by inter alia CALLING FOR AN 'EXPANDED WORK VISA PROGRAM.' {The former gains
status as the latter-two sink due to unforced-errors.} Regarding the Senate, McDaniel EXPANDED LEAD
OVER COCHRAN to 8 points [52 to 44 percent, with 4 percent undecided], according to Chism Strategies,
a Democratic pollster based in Mississippi [the polling of which was the closest of any poll in predicting
the primary results; meanwhile, COCHRAN was found to have ENJOYED a LONG AND PROFITABLE
RELATIONSHIP WITH TRUSTMARK BANK and McCain was Unable To Attend a Cochran Rally. {Also,
newly-vulnerable Lamar Alexander Recruited Kix Brooks to Defend his Conservative Record.}

Regarding the House, Dems claimed Congress has defaulted to duck and cover, while
others note the fact that the Cantor loss continues to jolt the landscape; the tea partys
obituary was being written until Dave Brat came along. The GOP leadership [after the
election of McCarthy and Scalise] is still shaking-out; some claim these Changes
strengthen John Boehners hand rendering him more likely to stay on as Speaker
because Eric Cantor is no longer his heir apparent. Over the weekend, McCarthy pushed
back against critics [Check my voting record," the incoming House majority leader said],
as McCarthys role was debated in his land of immigrants [illustrating the complicated
and emotional politics around immigration facing the House majority leader]. There is
no question, however, that an immediate impact of this shuffling has transpired:

Texas business leaders want Congress to renew the Export-Import
Bank's charter, but House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-
Texas) wont; Congress sets the Ex-Im Bank's lending cap and must
reauthorize its charter, which is due to expire in September. If it isn't
reauthorized, the agency will be unable to back new financing and will
essentially wind down its loan portfolio. Cantor helped steer a
reauthorization of the trade agency through Congress in 2012, bucking
some of his more conservative colleagues; the measure passed easily in
the Senate as well. This year, the chances it will be reauthorized without
[McCarthy's] support are narrow, particularly given the recent shake-up
among House GOP leaders; the incoming House Majority Whip, Steve
Scalise of Louisiana, has signaled his opposition to the agency. Thus, the
only House Republican who could overrule them both, Speaker John
Boehner of Ohio, has signaled he won't.

And the effects of Cantors defeat are rippling through other GOP-primaries [Elise
Stefanik Has Commanding Lead in GOP Nomination Race for New Yorks 21
st

congressional district and Claudia Tenney Hopes to Ride David Brat Wave to Victory over
Richard Hanna], but discretion appears to have been maintained in the process when
EX-GRASSLEY AIDE [David Young, supported by the Republican Party establishment]
CAPTURED a Congressional NOMINATION for Iowas 3
rd
District U.S. House seat, beating
State Sen. Brad Zaun [a Tea Party favorite who carries a gun and told delegates that he
would 'spill my blood' to prevent abortion].

One issue that could attract youth to the GOP is the fact that the National Security Agency (NSA) is
Hurting Millennials' Way of Life; NSA critics hailed recent votes as game-changers, as Lawmakers and
privacy advocates who are fighting to restrain it say the tide is turning in their favor. They note that
Unblinking Eyes Track Employees; that Germany colluded with NSA; and that a Memo Approving Drone
Strike on American was Released. This could reverse the reverie BHO has enjoyed until now.

The Environment

The Supreme Court limited the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gases:

The Supreme Court partially upheld and partially rejected a set of early EPA greenhouse
gas regulations for major pollution sources, following a legal challenge by the utility
industry. The case has no bearing on the major greenhouse gas rule for power plants
that the agency released June 2, but the decision has symbolic importance, since both
rules are centered on EPA's interpretation of its powers under the Clean Air Act. The
court said EPA cannot require PSD or air permits based solely on an agencys release of
greenhouse gases, but that emission sources that already need those permits should
have to use the best available technology to control greenhouse gases.

Thus, it is vital to scrutinize a persuasive piece in yesterdays NY-Times by Paulsen, proclaiming a
Coming Climate Crash; its essence requires scrutiny from open-minded people:

Its true that the United States cant solve this problem alone. But were not going to be
able to persuade other big carbon polluters to take the urgent action thats needed if
were not doing everything we can do to slow our carbon emissions and mitigate our
risks.

Scientists have identified a number of these holes potential
thresholds that, once crossed, could cause sweeping, irreversible
changes. They dont know exactly when we would reach them. But they
know we should do everything we can to avoid them.

Already, observations are catching up with years of scientific models,
and the trends are not in our favor.

Fewer than 10 years ago, the best analysis projected that melting Arctic
sea ice would mean nearly ice-free summers by the end of the 21st
century. Now the ice is melting so rapidly that virtually ice-free Arctic
summers could be here in the next decade or two. The lack of reflective
ice will mean that more of the suns heat will be absorbed by the
oceans, accelerating warming of both the oceans and the atmosphere,
and ultimately raising sea levels.

Even worse, in May, two separate studies discovered that one of the
biggest thresholds has already been reached. The West Antarctic ice
sheet has begun to melt, a process that scientists estimate may take
centuries but that could eventually raise sea levels by as much as 14
feet. Now that this process has begun, there is nothing we can do to
undo the underlying dynamics, which scientists say are baked in. And
10 years from now, will other thresholds be crossed that scientists are
only now contemplating?

It is true that there is uncertainty about the timing and magnitude of
these risks and many others. But those who claim the science is
unsettled or action is too costly are simply trying to ignore the problem.
We must see the bigger picture.

THIS problem cant be solved without strong leadership from the developing world. The
key is cooperation between the United States and China the two biggest economies,
the two biggest emitters of carbon dioxide and the two biggest consumers of energy.

There are plenty of contrary viewpoints [Scandal of fiddled global warming data...USA has actually been
COOLING since 1930s, the hottest decade on record; Obama Warns of 'Hurricane Intensity' Despite 8-
Year Hiatus; Australian PM introduces bill to repeal carbon tax; 4 QUESTIONS FOR GREENPEACE AS THEY
FUNDRAISE OFF THEIR 2013 RUSSIAN RUN-IN and GOP Weekly Address: Obama EPA Rules Will Force
States to Ration Energy]. Also, it is claimed that Global warming was 'Fabricated' by Scientists at two of
the worlds leading climate centres [NASA and NOAA] when they allegedly manipulated temperature
data to overstate the extent of the 20
th
century "global warming." Yet, although Antarctica is enlarging,
the National Geographic Just Announced One of the "Most Striking Changes" They've Ever Recorded, for
Arctic ice sheets are melting so quickly and in such large amounts that it's affecting world maps.

I asked my son to help analyze these data; input from others is cordially invited!
