Michelle O's 2-day hotel bill: $222,000

 

(WEEKLY STANDARD) Michelle Obama wrapped up her March visit to China with a stop in Chengdu, arriving on March 25 and departing for the United States on the following day. But that one leg of the trip alone required about 900 room nights, ranging from 21 rooms beginning on March 13 for the advance team to a peak of 144 rooms when the first lady herself was at the hotel.

The documents prepared in support of the stay estimated the cost at around 1,393,500 yuan (RMB), or $222,000 at current exchange rates.

According to the documents, one of the factors in choosing the Shangri-La Hotel was a security consideration that “will allow party to occupy the entire top two floors for the visit.”

Indiana Becomes First State to Formally Abandon Common Core

Activist Post
The federal education standard known as Common Core has been essentially bribed into school districts with very little local debate.
Now as more parents and localities begin to take a deeper look at this curriculum, they're finding a multitude of inadequacies which appear to be agenda-driven and standard-lowering.
Until today resistance to Common Core has been small and relatively silent, but Indiana just became the first state to formally discard Common Core standards when their State Board of Education voted 10-1 to endorse a replacement standard.
The Associated Press reports:

One of the first states to adopt Common Core standards became the first state to formally abandon the national benchmarks, as Indiana's State Board of Education voted overwhelmingly Monday for a replacement that will guide student learning for years.

The board voted 10-1 to endorse the new benchmarks to guide what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should learn in math and English, which were created by a panel of faculty from Indiana universities and representatives from science and technology industries. The vote came ahead of the state's July deadline and could end months of heated debate.

"I hope that with this conversation behind us, we can stick with these standards and make sure we're not continually moving the goal posts on our students and educators," board member at-large Gordon Hendry said. "The reasons academic standards have been successful in places like Massachusetts is because legislators and policymakers picked a direction and stayed with it."
Indiana adopted Common Core in 2010 along with 44 other states. But states' rights advocates and tea party members later vocally opposed the Common Core standards, saying they were created without adequate local input.

The new benchmarks, however, are also under scrutiny as the activist group Hoosiers Against Common Core warned that the replacement is just a "rebranded" version of Common Core.
Indeed, the South Bend Superintendent of Schools said the new standards are "very, very, much aligned" with Common Core:

Do “Something” – If It’s the Right Something

 

Congress is back, but not for long, according to The Washington Post:

Fewer than 200 days remain until Nov. 4, when Republicans are expected to expand their majority in the House. Democrats are fighting to maintain their narrow majority in the Senate. Congress will convene for about 60 days in the next six months as all members of the House and 36 senators continue campaigning. In the next five weeks, the House will meet for just 15 days with a weeklong Mother’s Day break in between. The Senate plans to work four consecutive weeks before spending a week at home for Memorial Day.

Typically around this point in a congressional cycle, legislators are expected to tackle a few high-profile items while walking on eggshells to survive in November.

Check out the full article here.

Reading the piece, I couldn’t help but think of an image we’ve posted on Campaign for Liberty’s Facebook page:

Legislators are criticized for their frequent trips out of town, but history has shown liberty to be far safer during the breaks, when the House and Senate’s only purpose is to be viewed by tourists.  A “do-something” Congress is desirable when that something is to defend liberty, uphold the Constitution, and roll back Big Government.  So C4L is continuing to press for votes on liberty-advancing bills such as Audit the Fed.  And with politicians’ eyes on job security, sustained and overwhelming grassroots pressure is critical to demonstrate the strength of support for key issues so that when Congress does act, freedom benefits.

U.S. oil stockpiles hit record high levels

 

(OILPRICE) — Crude oil stockpiles in the United States are at record levels and, with no place to go, oil inventories may continue to build because of the accelerating rate of production from shale operations.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration said April 23 that crude oil stockpiles along the Gulf Coast in an area known as Petroleum Administration for Defense District 3 (PADD 3) have reached more than 209 million barrels, the highest level since 1990.

Inventories at the storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, meanwhile, are at their lowest levels since 2009, at 26 million barrels.

More oil is flowing to PADD 3 because of expanding infrastructure in the region.

Political Movement to “Fire Harry Reid” Has Been Launched

 

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been called the “most hated” leader in Congress.  This is because he is a bully that uses his position and power to influence and intimidate other members of Congress, business people and regular citizens. Reid is also hated due to his appearance of being corrupt, making shady land deals and accepting bribes.  He is also viewed unfavorably for his naked nepotism, getting cushy jobs and lobbying positions for his sons, and giving over $30k
