Twitter Learns How to Do the 2-Step

Twitter has announced it is deploying a long-awaited security measure: two-factor verification. The move comes about a month after The Associated Press' Twitter account was hacked. Twitter is late to the game with this security tactic. A number of companies already feature it. However, the company must have scrambled to get it in place after hackers sent the stock market reeling last month

Teens Starting to See Facebook as Old and Creepy

Facebook may have a budding problem on its hands with its teenagers, suggests a report released Tuesday by Pew Research Center. Teens expressed waning enthusiasm for Facebook in focus groups, according to Pew, saying they disliked the growing number of adults on the site, were annoyed by "inane" status updates, and viewed the drama commonly played out on Facebook as draining.

Bill Kristol tells Marco Rubio to �walk� on plan

qrayjack — Tue, 21 May 2013 22:40:09 GMT

The Weekly Standard�s Bill Kristol has some advice for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on the Senate�s immigration reform bill: Walk away.

�He should walk away from it,� Kristol said Tuesday on �The Laura Ingraham Show.� �He should say, I made a good faith effort, but you know what, this is not a piece of legislation.�

The Weekly Standard editor told Ingraham that Rubio � who Kristol said he considers �a friend� � should step away from the �big government bill.� Instead, immigration reform should be dealt with issue-by-issue rather than by one comprehensive piece of �bad legislation,� Kristol said.

�Think of the trust you have to have in bureaucracy to make all this work,� he said. �There�ll be certifications and border security, there�ll be tests of whether people paid back taxes. � If you like Obamacare, you should like this immigration bill. And I honestly think conservatives should oppose it on those grounds alone.�

For once I agree with Kristol. Rubio is committing political suicide. No matter what he does now I wouldn't support him for dogcatcher.

Yahoo's Too Uncool for Some Tumblr Bloggers

Yahoo confirmed on Monday that it was acquiring Tumblr for US$1.1 billion -- perhaps further propelling the flight of Tumblr bloggers that began when rumors of the sale intensified last week. While the deal has implications on many levels and for many players, at least one group appears to have weighed the transaction and come to a conclusion about its merits.

Scandal-Plagued Obama May Have Jump-Started Tea Party Movement

261911 — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:14:44 GMT

Quote:

In the wake of numerous scandals involving the Obama administration and its outrageous suppression of political dissent, the fractured Tea Party movement appears to have received the necessary kick in the behind that it badly needed and is in the process of reconstituting itself for more organized political activity.

"Why do we need something in addition to the steering committee?�My concern is that politicians all of a sudden start co-opting the mantle of �Tea Party�. If all of a sudden being in the Tea Party is not something that is happening in Main Street, but rather something that�s happening in Washington D.C., the �Tea Party� all of a sudden becomes some sort of movement run by politicians�it�s gonna lose its effectiveness and I�m concerned about that. I think that the real power of the Tea Party comes from its ability to drive the debate and the issues from the grassroots up, as opposed to from the politicians down.�- Senator Marco Rubio

In a show of unity, Tea Party organizations such as Freedomworks, Tea Party Express, Tea Party Patriots, The TeaParty.net, and others, joined Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Senators Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to denounce the IRS and its targeted audits of Tea Party groups.

Since its success in the 2010 election cycle, the Tea Party movement has been co-opted by organizations and politicians which has splintered the movement and gutted its effectiveness. In addition, the Democratic Party and its minions have been able to effectively dismiss and demonize the movement as a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists and racists without any effective counter-messaging from either the Republican Party or the Tea Party organizations themselves.

But with the disappointments of 2012 in the rear-view mirror and the upcoming 2014 mid-term elections looming larger by the day, the Tea Party movement could be poised for a comeback, as the focus will be to pick off more seats in the House, and in the Senate.

In addition to the recent Benghazi, IRS and Associated Press scandals that are dominating the news cycle, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann�s sponsored bill to repeal Obamacare has passed in U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 229-195.

Bachmann said that Obama care is nothing more than a �monstrosity full of taxes, fees, and thousands new regulations.� Florida Congressman Bill Posey (R-FL) summed it all up by calling the law for what it really is� the Obama administration�s �dangerous experiment on our families, our businesses and the overall economy.� Other members of Florida�s congressional delegation also weighed in on the bill�s passage-

�The only way to make health care more affordable for families here in Florida is to repeal this law and start over with piece-by-piece plans written specifically to bring down costs, like medical liability reform, small business health plans, and purchasing insurance across state lines.� -Rep. Tom Rooney (R-FL)

�The full and complete repeal of Obama Care is one of the most critical issues of our time. The law�s budgetary costs are prohibitive, its bureaucracy is vast and unaccountable, and it harms Medicare recipients, jeopardizes the health plans of millions of Americans, and causes insurance costs to soar.- Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)

In light of the latest news that the IRS official who targeted the Tea Party is now in charge of running its health care office, no longer can any argument be advanced by Democrats to assert that the IRS has any credibility whatsoever to act without bias as it attempts to enforce an already unworkable and coercive federal law.

Will these scandals serve as sufficient motivation for Tea Party organizations to coalesce and regain the same momentum that led to decisive across-the-board electoral victories in 2010? Stay tuned�
