President Obama releases statement on the House reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act:

"I was pleased to see the House of Representatives come together and vote to reauthorize and strengthen the Violence Against Women Act. Over more than two decades, this law has saved countless lives and transformed the way we treat victims of abuse. Today's vote will go even further by continuing to reduce domestic violence, improving how we treat victims of rape, and extending protections to Native American women and members of the LGBT community. The bill also reauthorizes the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, providing critical support for both international and domestic victims of trafficking and helping ensure traffickers are brought to justice. I want to thank leaders from both parties - especially Leader Pelosi, Congresswoman Gwen Moore and Senator Leahy - for everything they've done to make this happen. Renewing this bill is an important step towards making sure no one in America is forced to live in fear, and I look forward to signing it into law as soon as it hits my desk."

Awesome! Because current laws regarding violence against women have just not been a deterrent enough to stop domestic abuse. Therefore, we have to put more teeth in the laws in order to bury guys who (still) think it's ok to hit women. Don't like it? Don't hit women. End of story.

Why isn't this bill renamed the "Violence Against Human Beings Act?" As a man who was physically and mentally abused by my ex-fiance', I am offended that their is a sexual bias towards men and a blind eye turned to the DV we face. It's 2013, where is the equality?

Violence against women? This coming from a president who supports violence of the worse lethal kind against pre-born women... discriminating against their God given and constitutionally protected right to life solely because of their age. How despicable! A mockery of the countless women who do have violence perpetrated upon them.

All this talk about the Sequestration is as relevant and legitimate as a reality show on MTV.

Don't be fooled by the Democrat lies that the "draconian cuts" of the sequester will result in closed parks, police layoffs, and empty store shelves. That's a lie.

Don't be fooled by Republican lies that the sequester will reduce our national debt and restore our economy. That's a lie.

Both parties... are spending this country into collapse, and they know it.

Here's the truth. If the $85 billion in automatic cuts actually takes effect as predicted for FY 2013, federal spending will still be more than in FY 2012. It authorizes the President to increase the debt ceiling by another half-trillion dollars. And, keep in mind that the $85 billion in cuts is only 10% of the amount spent in Obama's first stimulus package.

If you want to understand why we are facing an economic crisis, take a look at the federal spending over the last 13 years:

2013 United States federal budget - $3.8 trillion (Obama)
2012 United States federal budget - $3.7 trillion (Obama)
2011 United States federal budget - $3.8 trillion (Obama)
2010 United States federal budget - $3.6 trillion (Obama)
2009 United States federal budget - $3.1 trillion (Bush)
2008 United States federal budget - $2.9 trillion (Bush)
2007 United States federal budget - $2.8 trillion (Bush)
2006 United States federal budget - $2.7 trillion (Bush)
2005 United States federal budget - $2.4 trillion (Bush)
2004 United States federal budget - $2.3 trillion (Bush)
2003 United States federal budget - $2.2 trillion (Bush)
2002 United States federal budget - $2.0 trillion (Bush)
2001 United States federal budget - $1.9 trillion (Clinton)

Here's the truth: We could cut the budget by 50% across the board right now, and still only be back to 2002 spending levels. Did we have parks in 2002? Did we have police in 2002? Did we have food in 2002? Oh, and our national debt in 2002 was $6 trillion dollars. Today, it's over $16 trillion.

Don't be fooled by the lies. Bring on the sequester cuts. I only wish they were 25 times bigger.

It's a great law that has teeth, especially in the human trafficking aspect. It will help those who truly need the help. You fellas that are whining have been living in your own skins for far too long, see something from a different perspective, not from your own entitled lives. You sound ridiculous, you know.

Praise and Robert, men have a good life, now it's time for women and children to get caught up. James Brown's song was correct now and then, listen to the whole thing. If you were abused by an ex, that's a personal problem, not the larger problem of human trafficking and abuse that truly abused women of all walks of life are facing. You should learn how to deal with your personal problems without a law. Like a grown up human being.

With attacks ongoing, NBC News' Richard Engel goes inside an Israeli hospital that has moved underground. In Gaza, clinics are damaged and most homes are without power or running water.

Declaration of Independence in Mitchell's Plain, on May, 5, 2021 A trust, given by the Living God, not only to the current Democratic Dispensation, but to previous colonial and imperial regimes, has been broken. The settlers, past and present, have neglected to include the brown Aboriginal Peoples of this land from participating in the various institutions and have instead pushed us to the margins, treated us as outcasts in society, denied our heritage, our rights to the land, undermined our identity and have embarked on a campaign of cultural genocide these past hundreds of years. In this context, it is necessary through this divinely inspired action, to bring to an end the Settler Era, which has robbed both us and our forefathers of our rightful place, our inheritance. To ensure the dignity and respect due us, our forefathers and our descendants, we make this declaration, in pursuit of freedom, justice and prosperity. The Earth belongs to the Lord, and everything in it. Each race, each ethnic group, each tribe have been given a place in history and on earth. Through divine distribution, ours is Southern Africa. It is the God of Israel who gives Man the right to rule; power and legitimacy comes from Him according to His plan, will and purpose for Mankind. Therefore, monarchs, governments and the people have a duty to and the Living God and a responsibility toward our fellow Man and the earth. We must be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. Suffering produces perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope. These past hundreds of years, during the Settler Era, we have endured and survived genocide, wars, and dispossession. Considered non-human, a people without a culture and history, and having to endure the humiliation of Black Economic Empowerment, Affirmative Action, Employment Equity, and race based quotas, the reestablishing of our ancient homeland and the redrawing of our ancient borders, is needed. On behalf of the 12 principalities and the royal domain(the entire Northern Cape Province of South Africa, the entire Western Cape Province of South Africa, and the western section of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa) and the regions added in the future, as well as every person who will take up Capetian citizenship, we solemnly declare these territories independent of South Africa, and establish the Christian Missionary State, and the United States Protectorate, the Hegemony of the Capetian League, a Sanctuary State for persecuted Protestant Christians from around the world, in the presence of the Living God and the Holy angels, being careful to observe and celebrate the Jewish festivals and the holy Christian days and the implementation of the safeguards of the Christian Khoena, as a vital part of Capetian life, society, and culture. We place the Capetian League and all it's citizens on the altar before the Throne of Grace and Mercy as living sacrifices, in the Name of Jesus. We dedicate the Capetian League and it's citizens to the Lord as instruments of good, to be used according to His will, plan and purpose.
