D'Souza's America To Feature Dave Mustaine's "Star Spangled Banner"

Dinesh D'Souza's America To Feature Dave Mustaine's Heavy-Metal Rendition of "Star Spangled Banner"

Megadeth co-founder Dave Mustaine recorded a heavy-metal rendition of "Star Spangled Banner" in honor of the 45th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's version of the National Anthem. Mustaine's song will feature in Dinesh D'Souza's new film America, which will release in theaters on July 2nd.

"My inspiration was our Founding Fathers and wondering what they would think of us today," says rock icon Dave Mustaine. "My hope for America is that we'll become a nation they'd be proud of again and I tried to capture that with my guitar."

America Producer: "Why the VA Scandal Is About Much More Than Obama"

Gerald Molen, who is producing America, writes about the scandal surrounding the Department of Veterans Affairs' mismanagement and deceit regarding the care provided to our veterans. He also discusses the political and academic culture that created men like Barack Obama and allowed the V.A. scandal to happen.

"Presidents come and go, but the political and social cultures that nurture them live on for decades," Molen said. "It is that culture that I believe is responsible for creating a disrespect and unconscionable disregard for our veterans".

She discusses the suspicious circumstances under which D'Souza was prosecuted while Corzine's case was dropped without charges.

"Should we care about selective enforcement of laws where political leaders' enemies are punished while friends skate free?" Hemingway asks in her provocative piece.

instaPoll: What is your view of the best response to China’s behavior in Asia?

Congressman Randy Forbes

 

 

In recent years, China's behavior in the Asia-Pacific has become increasingly aggressive, leading to growing territorial disputes with neighbors including Japan, Vietnam, India, and the Philippines. Chinese ships and aircraft have repeatedly violated the airspace and waters of other nations, leading to rebukes from the U.S. State Department, as well as many American allies.

In November 2013, China unilaterally declared an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea, seeking to enforce air traffic restrictions over what had traditionally been seen as international airspace. In May 2014, China moved an oil rig into waters claimed by Vietnam, leading to heightened tensions and, most recently, the sinking of a Vietnamese fishing vessel this week.

Some believe that, in order to reduce tensions in the Asia-Pacific caused by China's growing military and increasingly aggressive stance toward its neighbors, the U.S. must maintain and expand its military and diplomatic posture in the region. Others have asserted that the United States should direct its attention elsewhere despite China's behavior toward U.S. allies in the region and attempts to restrict access to international waters and airspace.


Q
uestion of the week:  What is your view of the best response to China's behavior in Asia? (multi-answer)

( ) Reduce overall U.S. engagement in the region.
( ) Reduce U.S. military engagement in the region, while expanding diplomatic and economic ties.
( ) Strengthen U.S. posture in the Asia-Pacific, including an expanded military presence.
( ) Strengthen U.S. diplomatic and economic engagement in the Asia-Pacific.
( ) I don't know. 
( ) Other.

instaPoll: What is your view on new EPA regulations?

Congressman Randy Forbes

 

 

In recent years, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed and finalized numerous rules on air and water pollution, solid waste disposal, stormwater regulation, drinking water standards, cleanup of contamination, and the regulation of chemicals.  On June 2, the EPA is scheduled to publicly release their proposed rule reducing carbon emissions, as part of a larger effort by the Administration to address issues of global warming, climate change, and the rising sea level. Some see this as a move to shift the power industry away from coal towards gas, solar, and wind.

Supporters believe that EPA needs to take strong regulatory action to protect the environment, that it is moving in the right direction, and in some cases, believe the regulatory actions should be even stronger.  Some believe that EPA needs to bypass Congress in order to accomplish their goals.

Others believe the Agency is acting beyond the scope of its authority, issuing regulations that are detrimental to small businesses and local communities. Opponents believe the EPA has gone too far, that the new regulations will increase costs for consumers in areas like stormwater fees and power bills, and that proposed regulations should be subject to the checks and balances in government and receive congressional approval before they are implemented.

Question of the week:  What is your view on new EPA regulations? (multi-answer)

( ) They are improving environmental quality.
( ) They are burdening small businesses and hurting the economy.
( ) They need to be stronger and will not hurt the economy.
( ) They reflect laws passed by Congress.
( ) They are an example of government and executive overreach.
( ) I don't know. 
( ) Other.

President Obama's Half-Brother Backs Out of Interview with Dinesh D'Souza

Mark Obama Ndesandjo was originally slated to appear in an interview for Dinesh D'Souza's upcoming film, America. However, following the federal charges filed against D'Souza for violations of campaign law, President Obama's half-brother backed out of the interview.

Gerald Molen, who is producing America, weighed in on the cancellation: "Mark is more than just a brother of the president-he's a living example of the importance of America and the attractiveness of entrepreneurial capitalism. ... We were looking forward to hearing a different Obama message from a different Obama, but it was not allowed to happen."

Dinesh D'Souza Takes on
NSA in Upcoming Film

Dinesh D'Souza's latest film, America, will feature the National Security Agency's recent set of controversial counter-terrorism tactics, including intercepting private communications between U.S. citizens and building databases of information about average Americans.

"Our coverage [in the film] is based on a re-creation of what the NSA has actually been doing, while lying to the American people and Congress," D'Souza said. "Our point is that the Obama administration is collecting private information on every American, for reasons that have nothing to do with terrorism."
