Leno Tells How To Close Gitmo — JAY LENO: President Obama held a press conference earlier today, and he said he still wants to close the Guantanamo Bay prison facility, but he doesn’t know how to do it. He should do what he always does: declare it a small business and tax it out of existence.It will be gone in a minute. Be gone in a minute! One month! Be out of there!

Corbett The Wimp Bleeding In Water— The leftists who run the old media smell blood and are bolting in to rip chunks from Tom Corbett’s thrashing body as he flounders in the waters of next year’s gubernatorial race.
The Delaware County Daily Times used the entire front page of their tabloid the other day to boast how former Congressman Joe Sestak would crush the hapless Republican incumbent if the election was now.
Today’s The Philadelphia Inquirer front carries the headline “Corbett again sees fault among jobless” mocking him for his comment regarding the state’s high unemployment, which was “. . .there are many employers that say, ‘We’re looking for people but we
can’t find anybody that has passed a drug test,’ a lot of them. And that’s a concern for me because we’re having a serious
problem with that.”
If Corbett could push through a law ending automatic deductions of union dues from paychecks — which, btw, would be a effective tool in creating jobs — or repealing the law allowing for the hateful teacher strikes, we could get behind him and actually see him having a chance.
But it appears he can’t even get the liquor stores privatized despite the Republicans controlling everything in Harrisburg, and the plan being popular among the residents of the state.
Go Castor.
Pennsylvania Senate Passes Online Disclosure Mandates — In mid-April the state Senate passed bills that would require all political candidates to file campaign finance reports electronically, require state lobbyists to file disclosure reports online, and allow voters to register online.
The bills were introduced by Dominic Pileggi, Joseph Scarnati and Lloyd Smucker respectively, all of whom are Republicans.
That probably explains why not much has been written them in the Philadelphia area but Lancaster Online has an article.

Military Losing Freedom Of Conscience? — Sharon Sebastian has forwarded this alert from Family Research Council regarding attempts to take away freedom of conscience for our military personnel.
Thank you again, Obama voters.
FYI, Family Research Council in Washington D.C. was the victim of a left-wing terrorist attack last August. The shooter, James Corkins, a gay activist, said he picked them as a target because the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center labeled them a “hate group”. Why? Because they opposed gay marriage.
Corkins said he was wanted to kill as many as he could and smear Chick-fil-A sandwiches in the faces of their corpses. He was foiled by a security guard who tackled him despite being shot by Corkins.
The very troops who defend our religious freedom are at risk of having their own taken away.
Last week, anti-Christian and left-wing activists met at the Pentagon with military officials to discuss pressing issues in the military. What issues would be of such importance to gain such a high-level hearing?
According to these far-left consultants, religion is one of the chief problems plaguing our troops. As the Washington Post reported, some are saying that “religious proselytizing” is at the top of the list of problems in the armed forces — even on par with sexual assault.
As a result of such complaints from the left, the Air Force has — according to the Post –published, but not yet distributed a new document with the directive that leaders of all levels (including chaplains) may not “promote their personal religious beliefs to their subordinates or to extend preferential treatment for any religion.” The penalty these secularists are seeking for those who don’t comply with their view of religious speech is court-martial.
If this policy goes forward, Christians within the military who speak of their faith could now be prosecuted as enemies of the state. This has the potential to destroy military recruiting across the services as Americans realize that their faith will be suppressed by joining the military.
Our brave troops deserve better. If chaplains and other personnel are censored from offering the full solace of the Gospel, there is no religious freedom in the military.
Please join me in signing the petition to Secretary Hagel urging him to protect the religious freedom of our troops – and not to proceed with the purge of religion within the ranks called for by anti-Christian activists.
Sincerely,
Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William “Jerry” Boykin
Executive Vice President
