Congratulations, House Republicans!

Who you offering your ass to, pervert?

been found guilty by a Sharia court. The photo

Where's the outrage by gay activists and other progressives in the U.S.

Race relations have been central to political debates in recent months, from the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police officers in New York and Missouri to the recent revelation that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) spoke to a white supremacist group back in 2002.

The additional detail that Scalise also once voted against making Martin Luther King Day a holiday has reopened an old debate.

The King holiday used to be controversial, only passing the House more than ten years after Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) filed the first bill calling for a day to commemorate the slain civil rights icon. The measure eventually passed in 1983. Ninety representatives and 22 senators voted against it.

The debate is now essentially settled. Lawmakers typically spend their Martin Luther King holidays back at home with constituents, attending memorial events and touting the nation’s progress.
There are only six current members of Congress who previously voted against creating a national holiday for King. Another small handful did so at the state level.

The six who cast votes against the national holiday are all Republicans: Sens. Richard Shelby (Ala.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), John McCain (Ariz.) and Orrin Hatch (Utah), as well as Reps. Jim Sensenbrenner (Wis.) and Hal Rogers (Ky.). Shelby cast his vote as a Democrat, before he switched parties.

So if she wants to cozy up to foreign banksters (as they say in Britain), you go, girl! Nevertheless:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a couple paid speeches in Canada yesterday. She was reportedly accompanied by 65 agents of the United States Secret Service to at least one of the events.

The agents were presumably on hand to help keep the former first lady safe...

It's unclear what part, if any, of the security tab was picked up by Clinton -- and what part was paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Yeah, right. Even by the standards of the US political class, Bill and Hillary are in the fortunate position of rarely, if ever, having to write a personal check.

I wonder if anybody in the Canadian government could confirm to me whether the Queen, the Governor General or the Prime Minister has ever had a 65-man personal security detail. As I mentioned a while back, the last time I saw Her Majesty there was her car plus one behind with a couple of coppers.

BUSTED: Corrupt Assemblyman Shelly Silver Begged Hillary Clinton To Run For Political Office

Hillary Clinton has yet to weigh in on the Sheldon Silver prosecution for corruption.

Could their close ties be why?

Here are a few press clippings about their relationship:

Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver personally asked Hillary Clinton to run for the Senate seat, an aide to Silver said in 1999. “He asked her if she would run,” said Patricia Lynch, Silver’s spokeswoman. “She said to him she just wasn’t ready to make a decision yet.” (Liz Warren and Liam Pleven, “Hillary Senate Bid Called 50-50 Chance,” Newsday, February 4, 1999)

After meeting with the First Lady at the White House for an hour and 45 minutes, Silver said he thinks “she’s leaning toward running.” (Timothy J. Burger, “Silver: Hil Has Lots of Time ‘Leaning Toward’ Senate Run,” Daily News, March 13, 1999)

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver also briefed her on the Israel-Palestine conflict. (Liam Pleven, “Hillary Polishes View On Palestine,” Newsday, March 18, 1999)
