Can Americans Believe President Obama?
From The Daily Caller:
Americans rely on the promises of their elected officials. Elected officials who repeatedly break their promises quickly lose the trust of the people. The question is: Can Americans believe the promises made by this president?
Upon taking office, President Obama swore to “execute the office of the president of the United States faithfully” and to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.”
But when it comes to immigration, it seems the president’s personal views on the subject have trumped his constitutional duty to enforce the laws of the land.
As CA Property Values Rise, Owners See Tax Bill Hikes
From The Sacramento Bee:
The revival of California’s economy and a rising housing market mean some hefty property tax increases for homeowners, the Legislature’s budget analyst believes.
When property values were dropping sharply during recession, county tax assessors adjusted tax rolls downward, which then lowered property tax bills. Many property owners also applied for reductions.
The average homeowner saw a $1,600 property tax cut while those for commercial property averaged $7,500. “In total, temporary property tax reductions depressed local government property tax revenues by an estimated $7 billion in 2013-14, amounting to a 15 percent reduction statewide,” the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) says in a new report.
Trey Gowdy To Lead Benghazi Hearings
From The Daily Caller:
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy has been officially tapped by the House Republican leadership to serve as chairman of the new Benghazi select committee hearings, Speaker of the House John Boehner announced Monday.
“With four of our countrymen killed at the hands of terrorists, the American people want answers, accountability, and justice,” Boehner said Monday. “Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come.”
Gowdy, a former district attorney and federal prosecutor, was elected to Congress as a Republican in 2010 and has been an active voice on the Benghazi attacks of 2012.
Jerry Brown 2.0 follows Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lead
From The Sacramento Bee:
When Jerry Brown won the governorship four years ago, nearly three decades after his first gubernatorial stint, it sparked limitless speculation about how he would approach the job.
Brown was rather erratic the first time around, evidently uninterested in day-to-day governing and preoccupied with perpetual quests for other offices.
During his 1975-83 governorship, Brown sought the presidency twice, ran for re-election once and ended his tenure with an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate.
November Forecast Gets Worse For Democrats
From The Daily Caller:
Voters are more pro-GOP now than they were before the 2010 tea party wave drowned much of the progressives’ agenda in the November 2010 elections, according to a new survey.
Forty-seven percent of registered voters lean toward the GOP, compared to 44 percent who leaned toward the GOP in March 2010, according to the April survey by the Pew Research Center and USA Today.

Obama Economy’s Turn for the Worse
From U-T San Diego:
The Obama economy nearly stopped breathing in the first quarter, giving the Republicans new political ammunition for a full takeover of Congress in the November elections.
No sooner did the Commerce Department announce that the economy barely grew by one-tenth of 1 percent in the first three months of this year than the news media were searching for the toughest words to describe the U.S. economy’s demise under President Obama’s anti-growth, anti-jobs policies.
