Democrats Using “Climate Change” As Wedge Issue Or Something

Posted on by William Teach

I hope they do use it for the 2014 elections: pushing “climate change” rules and laws hasn’t worked out so well for politicians around the world as of late (see what happened to Australia’s Labor Party). Furthermore, it would make an interesting contrast as the Democrat politicians run all around in fossil fueled vehicles campaigning […]

Bummer: Elected Office Seniority Not The Boon It Once Was

Posted on by William Teach

Good! (The Hill) Seniority was once valued in politics, but this year, incumbents are having trouble convincing voters that politicians get better with age. It’s an issue that was front and center last week in 76-year-old Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) primary runoff battle with state Sen. Chris McDaniel, and was a driving force in 91-year-old […]

 

Illegals Now Being Dropped Off Via Jet Skis

Posted on by William Teach

Mr. Obama can talked about there being more deportations than ever, but that notion has now gone out the window. Most of those deportations were illegals caught crossing and almost immediately sent home.

Man Takes Long Fossil Fueled Flight, Lots Of FF Vehicles To Complain About “Climate Change”

Posted on by William Teach

I noted yesterday that (NMP) Obama was going to mention “climate change” during his UC Irvine commencement speech. I probably should have anticipated that he would go off the reservation and go hyper-partisan on the issue, attacking, denigrating, and insulting Skeptics. Because that’s what he constantly does, regardless of the issue. Basically, he’s an asshole […]

 

Good News: Obama’s Extremist EPA Attempting To Change Rules On Navigable Waters

Posted on by William Teach

The Environmental Protection Agency was a great idea when it was signed into law by Richard Nixon. Protecting the environment. Who couldn’t be against an agency that does that? Over the years, though, they’ve been invaded by extremist enviro-wackos, and I’m not sure that we can even call it “mission creep” at this point. More […]

Who woulda thunk it? (Courier Journal) It wasn’t supposed to work this way, but since the Affordable Care Act took effect in January, Norton Hospital has seen its packed emergency room become even more crowded, with about 100 more patients a month.

GAO Report Finds VA Leases Also Way Behind Schedule

Posted on by William Teach

Big Government at work (Roll Call) The Department of Veterans Affairs is already in plenty of hot water over its patient backlog, and a Government Accountability Office report released this week on a similar brand of mismanagement elsewhere in the department isn’t going to help turn down the temperature. The GAO report on department management […]

 

Man With Largest Carbon Footprint In World Would Like To “Go Off On Deniers”

Posted on by William Teach

Thomas Friedman has a little op-ed piece up regarding Obama’s “climate change” power plant rules, which includes an interview with Obama.

NY Times: Bergdahl Desertion Really Fault Of Unit Discipline, Afghanistan War

Oppel Jr. and Eric Schmitt, didn’t just straight out Blame Bush Bergdahl Was in Unit Known for Its Troubles The platoon was, an American military official would assert years later, “raggedy.” On their tiny, remote base, in a restive sector of eastern Afghanistan at an increasingly violent time […]

 

Obama Has Typical Solution For Student Loans

Posted on by William Teach

Another week, another Obama avoidance of the VA scandal. He has yet to truly address it during a Weekly Address, despite the terrible care so many veterans are receiving.
