Good News: Wind Farms Get A Pass For Killing Eagles

So far, I can’t find any environmental groups, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, NRDC, Earth First, etc, who are outraged by this. Some link to news articles, but have offered no articles themselves (USA Today) The Obama administration said Friday it will allow some companies to kill or injure bald and golden eagles for up to 30 […]

70% Of California Doctors Say “NO” To Obamacare

This is where the rationing and long waiting lines start (Washington Examiner) An estimated seven out of every 10 physicians in deep-blue California are rebelling against the state’s Obamacare health insurance exchange and won’t participate, the head of the state’s largest medical association said. “It doesn’t surprise me that there’s a high rate of nonparticipation,” […]

Liberals’ Hunger Games

Welcome to the Liberals’ version of the Hunger Games, America; unapologetically brought to you by our Progressive friends in the Democrat Party, whose economic policies have lifted a record number of Americans from the middle class and plopped them face down — into poverty the past five years. I know. This makes no sense, considering […]

Even Record Poverty Can’t Derail Immigration Reform

Not even a stake to the heart could kill Congress’ insatiable lust for comprehensive immigration reform. Just days after Majority House Speaker John Boehner announced that immigration is dead for the year, he hired advocate Rebecca Tallent as his chief immigration aide. Tallent, the Bipartisan Policy Center’s director of immigration policy, worked in a similar […]

Obamacare’s Architects Plugged Their Ears and Misled Public

In 1970 the eccentric but insightful economist Albert Hirschman published a book called “Exit, Voice and Loyalty.” It explored how people respond when a private firm’s or a government agency’s performance is deteriorating. Some people choose to leave, buying another product or service or leaving the government’s jurisdiction. Others use voice, complaining about defects or […]

Obama Causes Income Inequality

To distract attention from the Obamacare disaster, the president is seeking to focus on income inequality. But here, for him, the ground is even shakier. The fact is that while income inequality has been getting worse, it is the policies of the Obama administration that are causing the trend. During the Clinton years, 45 percent […]

What the Pope Gets Wrong About Capitalism

Pope Francis’ first apostolic exhortation, “Evangelii Gaudium” (“The Joy of the Gospel”), is a beautiful document and a joy to read. I’ll leave its theological implications to those who live in the Roman Catholic Church. What’s got many people praising the pope today, though, is not his plea for good works but rather his critique […]

Google’s Barge Glides by Where Others Hit SF Snags

The developers who wanted to build 8 Washington in San Francisco spent seven years lobbying City Hall — winning approval from the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors — only to watch opponents kill the project by putting a successful measure on the November ballot. Suckers. Google simply started building a four-story barge made of […]

New York Councilwoman Blames Jews for Knockout Game Attacks

Gangs of black teens (both girls and boys) have been coursing through our big cities sucker punching white people–often the aged and many times Jews–in the so-called knock out game. These crimes are happening from coast to coast and the story is always the same; black kids attacking whites without warning. But one New York […]

Obamacare Could Close Volunteer Fire Departments

Small towns don’t have full town fire departments. They have volunteers who show up when there’s a fire and do their best to save their neighbor’s property. That system is at risk, according to Rep. Lou Barletta: Barletta thinks that current policy requires companies to provide insurance to volunteer firefighters. “Forcing volunteer fire companies to […]

Democrats Demand Obama Stop Deporting Illegal Aliens

A bunch of Democrats sent a letter to President Obama, demanding he stop deporting illegal aliens. Well, they didn’t exactly call them illegal aliens, because that’s racist, or something. I think they said they were… While immigration reform is stalled in Congress, some members are calling on President Barack Obama to take the matter into […]

Libyan Parliament Creates Jeffersonian Style Republican Government…Just Kidding, It’s Sharia Law

The new Libyan Parliament voted, and the foundation of all Libyan law henceforth will be Sharia law: Libya’s national assembly voted on Wednesday to make Islamic law, or sharia, the source of all legislation, in an apparent bid by moderate Islamists to outflank ultra-conservative militants who have been gaining influence. Two years after the NATO-backed […]

Revering Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela with wife Winnie and Joe Slovo. Stay away from your TV this weekend if you have a low tolerance for saccharine.

USA Today: Obamacare Isn’t Perfect, But It’s A “Decent” Fix

This one’s from 12/3, but it’s a hoot Obamacare isn’t perfect, but it’s a decent fix “Decent”. Millions have seen their health insurance dropped, Team Obama’s mid-range estimate is that 93 million will ultimately lose their plans, health care networks are being restricted, premiums and deductibles have gone through the roof, fewer people are actually […]

Lesbian Waitress Who Lied About Getting Hateful Comment Instead Of Tip Looks To Have Lied About What She Did With The Donated Money

Lying about getting an anti-gay comment instead of a tip is bad enough, but this latest development may mean this case has now become prosecutable fraud. It has practically been proven that Dana Morales lied about receiving an anti-gay “tip” from two patrons while working as a waitress in Bridgewater, N.J. We later discovered that […]

Barack Obama Honors Nelson Mandela’s Death With A Picture Of Himself.

Sadly, this has become the norm from the White House since Obama became President…. Rest in peace, Nelson Mandela. pic.twitter.com/4qlqsXLp6e — The White House (@WhiteHouse) December 5, 2013 “Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration.

Gun Confiscation Has Begun in New York

It doesn’t matter what gun laws liberals propose, their ultimate goal is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS confiscating your guns. In liberal -controlled New York, they’ve gotten started on it.

This Week In Quotes: Nov 29 – Dec 5

Obama on ObamaCare: There’s no way we’re repealing this boondoggle while I’m president, America….Is this really the message Democrats wanted him to put out today, when news outlets are filled with stories about rate shock, glitchy enrollments, and catastrophic security lapses? I thought the headline was supposed to be “ObamaCare is wonderful,” not “There’s nothing […]

Obamacare’s Perilous Protection Plan for Debtors

“Uh-oh.” That’s the sound being uttered in doctors’ offices and hospitals across the country as medical providers realize they’re getting stuck with another bottomless Obamacare bill. While the White House desperately tries to pivot from the havoc wrought by the “Affordable Care Act,” its hidden regulatory bombs keep exploding. I heard about the latest problem […]

Coming to grips with rise of the machines

After you heard President Obama’s call for a hike in the minimum wage, you probably wondered the same thing I did: Was Obama sent from the future by Skynet to prepare humanity for its ultimate dominion by robots? But just in case the question didn’t occur to you, let me explain. On Tuesday, the day […]

It’s Time to Take America Back

President Obama has shown he is absolutely unconcerned that the American public is firmly opposed to his calamitous Law of the Land that is destroying our health care system and harming millions of innocent people, many of whom foolishly trusted him. In the face of his cratering approval ratings, he grows ever more defiant, as […]

Obama’s Never Run a Lemonade Stand

If President Barack Obama has entertained an economic insight that wasn’t fashionable in 1933, I haven’t heard about it. It’s doubtless he’s for recycling glass and plastic, but he’s even more wedded to recycling ideas that were fresh and interesting during the New Deal era but have since been discredited. All of this was clear […]

Health Care Law Maintains Conspiracy to Keep Prices High

For all the confusion it is causing, President Barack Obama’s signature legislative accomplishment did not fundamentally change the health care industry. Both before and after the law passed, the business of providing medical care in America could best be described as a conspiracy by government, insurance companies and medical care providers to keep prices high.
