Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate identified by Forbes as one of America’s wealthiest people, has provided $10 million to a SuperPAC that is backing Mitt Romney for President, according to published reports.
The news organizations reporting this contribution to the “Restore our Future” PAC are relying on unnamed sources.
The Wall Street Journal says Restore Our Future would not confirm the donation, but cites “people with knowledge of the matter.” The Journal also reports that Adelson’s big issue is support for Israel: He wants a President who is more strongly pro-Israel than Barack Obama.
The Los Angeles Times reports that its Washington bureau checked out the Wall Street Journal’s report and confirmed that it was accurate, but LAT got no official confirmation either.
Adelson helped provide a big chunk of Newt Gingrich’s PAC money before the former House Speaker’s own presidential campaign fizzled.

Mr. Adelson is in for a big surprise if (very iffy) Romney wins the election. Otherwise he’s tossed $10 million… but he gets to have lunch with the loser. As if that’ll make any difference…
When you’ve accepted advertising is speech, you should be ready to accept Adelstein as the new Nathan Hale.
From the April 10 Rolling Stone, back when Sheldon Adelson was funding another candidate: “And here’s the thing: What does it suggest when a man under three federal investigations can plan on spending up to $100 million dollars to elect the man with authority over the agencies conducting those investigations?”
Adelson is under investigation for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in managing his gambling casino Macau.
One helluva governance system we have here!
A jew who makes his cash from gambling supporting a Mormon, what a combination.
The power of the Low-Information Billionaire shall not be abridged.
How about the magnate that has financially supported Obama going back to his few days serving as senator in Illinois thru this campaign that is one of the two chosen attorneys to look in to the bungling of intelligence that was purposely leaked from the White House???
Holder has ‘complete trust in him to be fair’…………
Folks: the foxes have no only been chosen to guard our nation but have moved in to the White House. We chickens have truly been set up and will be eaten IF we don’t wake up and KNOW what is going on in our nation. Certainly the Herald never publishes even half of the 5 major allegations the White House is fighting right now!!
Can YOU list them??
Are YOU aware of them and the seriousness of them?? (bipartisans calling for Holder to resign and MANY are calling it a high crime and misdemeanor!!)
So you don’t need The Herald to warn of the Danger Of Obama.
Say it yourself – here and now.
What’s wrong with people that they haven’t learned to back-up what they post?
Marti, what are you talking about? It’s a Republican witchhunt going after Holder. “Holder responded by calling Cornyn’s list of allegations ‘almost breathtaking in its inaccuracy’ and said: ‘I don’t have any intention of resigning.’” http://articles.cnn.com/2012-06-12/politics/politics_holder-senate_1_special-counsel-leaks-investigation-republican-senators?_s=PM:POLITICS
Of course, we knew when Obama was elected these tactics would be used. What they did to Clinton was a cakewalk compared to what O’s in for after re-election.
And, yes, movetoamend.org.
Rubiebegoia understands the problem. You have asked a good question. “What is wrong with the people?”
The use of drones is immoral. They kill innocent men, women, children and infants.
Read the Nation Magazine about Obama’s kill list. Kill the ‘Kill List’. It is on line.
Kill the ‘Kill List’
Nation Action on June 6, 2012 – 5:14 PM ET
The drone policy that President Obama has developed not only infringes on the sovereignty of other countries, insist Nation editors in the new issue of the magazine, but the assassinations violate laws put in place in the 1970s after scandals enveloped an earlier era of CIA criminality. What’s more, by allowing the executive branch to circumvent judicial review, the kill list makes a mockery of due process for terror suspects, even US citizens—in clear violation of the Constitution

How can any American stand for this? Why is America not protesting the illegal wars and immoral drone attacks?
Please don’t quote me out of context,
it’s not fair to my argument or yours.
Wonderful ass
Rubiebegonia:
Please answer the question that you asked.
‘‘What’s wrong with people that they haven’t learned to back up what they post?”
Back up your post. Explain what you think is wrong.
What should we say here and now about Obama?
First I have to thank Rosaura for noticing – apparently you have very good taste!
Mr. Owl,
if you read my post I’m asking Marti,
who has hinted at all kinds of complaints about Obama,
to flesh them out instead of accusing the newspaper of ignoring them.
What’s wrong with people is a very good question but it’s not what I said and,
if one reads anything I ever write,
you’ll find I never shy away from the factual reasons for my opinions.
I thought it was mine she was commenting on.
Could be she was the one person who witnessed us together and couldn’t actually decide.
Yes, we’re so similar that way.
Rubiebegonia, you did not answer the question you asked, “What is wrong with people that they haven’t learned to backup what they post?”
Back up your post. If you have something to say, say it.
You also said that “you’ll find I never shy away from factual reasons for my opinions.”
What are your opinions? What are your facts? What are you trying to say?
We need a commenters night at BBay or Kulshan Brewery so we can make circular arguments to each other in the drunken style to which they are accustomed.
Rubiebegonia: No thank you.
To Marti: I believe that your post was about the Herald not reporting important news. I agree.
There are many ways to get news on line.
Here are a few:
Read The Nation Magazine, The Nevada Sun, The Seattle Times, The Huffington Post and The Christian Science Monitor.
Key in these sites and read their links. Some will have petitions to sign if you wish:
Credo Action, Bernie Sanders site, Code pink, Watchdog, Bradley Manning Support, Stop the War Before it starts Coalition, Iran-Loves-Israel, Greenpeace International and No to war.
Additionally, you can get news by joining groups such as The Veterans for peace, the Green party, the Peace and justice center, Coal Free Bellingham and Power Past Coal. The people in these groups are well informed and often have news and articles to share that one may otherwise not know.
“Jon Corzine — under federal and congressional investigation following accusations that the securities firm he headed illegally took clients’ funds before collapsing — is among President Obama’s top re-election campaign bundlers, raising at least $500,000, according to the campaign’s filing Friday with the Federal Election Commission.
Corzine, the former New Jersey senator and governor, and former head of Goldman Sachs,….
