Married musicians Beyonce, left, and rapper Jay-Z, during an April 4, 2013
trip to Cuba, and President Obama.APYou generally don't want to get into
a rap rivalry with Jay-Z.But the White House on Thursday challenged the
mega-artist after he released a track suggesting he got "White House clearance"
for his controversial trip to Cuba with wife Beyonce.Jay Carney, President
Obama's press secretary, categorically denied the claim -- reiterating that
the Treasury Department handles clearance."I guess nothing rhymes with Treasury,"
Carney joked, before clarifying: "The White House, from the president on
down, had nothing to do with anybody's ... travel to Cuba. That
is something that Treasury handles."Jay-Z released the track Thursday shortly
after returning from Cuba, a trip that drew criticism from Cuban-American
lawmakers in Congress who questioned how the couple got permission to travel
to the communist-run island.The rapper boasted at length about the visit,
suggesting Obama was involved."I done turned Havana into Atlanta," he rapped.
"Boy from the hood, but got White House clearance."He continued: "Politicians
never did s--- for me except lie to me, distort history, wanna
give me jail time and a fine. Fine, let me commit a
real crime. ... Obama said, 'Chill you gonna get me impeached.' You
don't need this s--- anyway, chill with me on the beach.'"The track
resulted in a bizarre scene at Thursday's White House briefing, as a
reporter re
vel,
Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse said the party does
not condone secret tapings."We would never condone anything like this --
a secret taping. We would never condone it," he said. Woodhouse said
he knows nothing about the group in question."Our reaction is that we
would like the investigation to take its course."Progress Kentucky has not
returned a request for comment.The FBI is investigating the alleged recording
at McConnell's request. A law enforcement official told Fox News the investigation
is "moving along," and there are some "people of interest."The FBI is
conducting interviews and visited McConnell's campaign headquarters on Wednesday.
Fox News confirms the FBI also pulled video surveillance footage.McConnell
campaign manager Jesse Benton told Fox News that there is a video
camera in the lobby where anybody would have to pass through to
get to the second floor, where the meeting in question took place."They
certainly were not authorized to be there, if they were indeed there,"
Benton said of the Progress Kentucky operatives.The McConnell team meeting
covered in the Mother Jones article reportedly took place on Feb. 2.
Judd had been seriously considering a challenge to the Senate Republican
leader in Kentucky until she opted against running last month.The McConnell
advisers at the meeting could be heard discussing possible avenues of attack
against Judd, one of which concerned her mental state."She's c

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">n media, and school safety.By the time President Obamas gun task
force was halfway finished with its work, it was clear that those
other considerations were going to be window dressing at best. Gun control
advocates, fearing that every day that passed from the raw emotions of
the killings, made their hopes of getting a gun ban in place
dwindle, decided to ditch what is complicated or innovative and fall back
to old and largely failed ideas.While murder rates have dramatically declined
in America over the past two decades, the phenomenon of mass killings
has become a cultural sickness. Broken families, a corroded culture, the
isolation and alienation of the Internet age, the inadequacy of mental health
care and failing schools all play a part. These are matters of
the heart and soul of a society, and these killings are terrible
symptoms of chronic disease.Manchin was calling for something that would
explore and address some of these root causes, but before the conversation
could begin, the gun grabbers were already grabbing and the cold-dead-handers
were already gripping tighter. The moment was gone. The attacks had begun,
and what was a moment of national dialogue reverted to pointless political
shouting matches.Today, Manchin is trying to sell a compromise on firearms
background checks that would have done nothing to prevent the Newtown killings,
since the perpetrator there didnt buy the weapons. He took them from
his mother, whom he a

in high-risk border sectors within five years, a commission made of border
state officials would make recommendations on how to achieve it.After 10
years, people granted "registered provisional immigrant status" could apply
for green cards granting them permanent residency -- and the ability to
seek citizenship -- if the new security and fencing plans have been
completed, the mandatory employment verification system is in place and
used by all employers, and the new electronic exit system is operating
at airports and seaports, collecting machine-readable visa or passport information
from airplanes and ships.The electronic exit system is meant to keep better
track of people in the country on temporary visas. Some 40 percent
of people in the country illegally arrived with visas but stayed after
they expired. The employment verification piece would be an expansion of
an existing system called E-Verify that's currently voluntary for most employers,
though it's mandatory in some states.The bill would allocate $5.5 billion
for the various proposals, including $1.5 billion for fencing, $2 billion
for other border measures and $2 billion to help the commission of
border state officials do its work, should that become necessary, the person
said, stressing more or less money could be allocated if needed.The border
security details were first reported Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal.
