Don’t let Obamacare Crisis go to Waste

The constipated debut of Obamacare has reduced the president of the United States to the status of TV pitchman. “Act now” to get this great product, he exhorted listeners on Monday, offering testimonials from one of the rare successful purchasers, promising limitless benefits and low prices, and even an 800 number. His operators are standing […]

Unions Turn on Obamacare, but Don’t Call Them Hypocrites

It’s not just Republicans who are unhappy with Obamacare. Labor union leaders have been complaining too. In July, the presidents of the Teamsters, United Food Commercial Workers union and UNITE-HERE (combined membership: 2.9 million) wrote a letter to congressional Democrats saying that Obamacare will “destroy the very health and well-being of our members along with […]

Just say ‘no’ to underwriting more debt

The fiasco in Washington over the partial government shutdown, raising the debt ceiling and deepening animosity between Republicans and Democrats (and Republicans and Republicans), has left many asking if there is any way out of this bitter, endless cycle. There may be. The Financial Times recently suggested that America’s largest foreign creditor — China — […]

Jay Sekulow & ACLJ Amend Lawsuit Against IRS

The American Center for Law and Justice announced today it has filed a second amended lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C. — adding additional defendants — including top IRS political appointees — an additional claim — and evidence that reveals a politically-motivated attack on conservative organizations by the IRS — a secret and illegal […]

Mount Rushmore Weeps

Park Service thugs went out of their way to prevent it during the shutdown maneuver, but now that RINO perfidy has left Obama victorious and free to spend the country into oblivion, Americans are again permitted to photograph Mount Rushmore. This shot from the morning it opened sums up the current situation perfectly: Those must […]

Watch Your Guns Around Obamacare

What does gun control have to do with health care? As odd as it seems, Obamacare contains provisions that jeopardize gun ownership, especially for veterans. Anti-gun provisions were added to initial drafts of Obamacare legislation under the pretext of prohibiting people with mental illness — which can include PTSD – from owning guns. Fortunately, the […]

Pre-Halloween Festival

Wisdom from my Hello Kitty of Blogging account: I’d like to take this opportunity to propose a new holiday, a pre-Halloween holiday. I’m proposing a week-to-ten-day-long festival called “Get all the people who hate fun out of the way (they don’t want to be involved anyhow).” Or something. Frumpy housewives who want to start tongue-clucking […]

The Fail

As I get older, I notice my observations about things — on some level — become, paradoxically, simpler. Perhaps this comes from OO design methodology. You remember the classic XYZ Corporation example: Salespeople have regions and make flat salaries, commissions and bonuses; but before they are instantiated as salespeople objects, they are employees, and as […]

Maria Kang

Got a big controversy over the above photograph. She’s a local lady here, who’s created a national uproar. I guess it’s the “What’s Your Excuse?” line rubbing some people the wrong way. Jack Armstrong of Armstrong & Getty was complaining that her occupation has been toned down, failing to find mention in articles like this […]

“A New Variety of Privilege”

They know, Mr. Taranto, they know. [Shanta] Driver’s position seems instead to be based on the contemporary leftist theory that groups certified as “oppressed” deserve special treatment at the expense of the “privileged.” Such a view, however, collapses in its own illogic. A system that gives special treatment to members of an “oppressed” group is […]

Guy Who Threatened Ted Cruz Inspired By Democrat Websites

So, not just some random (and typical) liberal wackjob (Daily Caller) Troy Gilmore, Jr., who identifies himself as having served in the U.S. Navy, is under FBI investigationfor possible violent threats on Twitter against Republican senator Cruz. The FBI has communicated with Gilmore as part of the investigation and is monitoring for possible violence inspired […]

Progressives Made Their Beds; It’s Time They Lay In It

Throughout the government shutdown, Democrats, who knew Republicans wouldn’t be able to delay Obamacare, routinely said, “It’s settled law.” President Obama was re-elected, they say — though he said almost nothing about Obamacare during the campaign, and what he did say amounted to platitudes he knew were false. And the Supreme Court ruled it constitutional. […]

Join Jay Sekulow & ACLJ In Urging An End To IRS Abuse

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has admitted to intentionally targeting conservative groups since at least 2011.It has admitted that it searched tax applications for words like “Tea Party” and even “patriot.” Once it found those groups, it made intrusive and unconstitutional inquiries, demanding answers “upon penalty of perjury.” IRS targets included pro-life and conservative groups […]

Police investigate disturbing death threats against Ted Cruz, family

Law enforcement officials are investigating a threat leveled against U.S. Sen.Ted Cruz: and his family via: Twitter. The disturbing news reported Friday by The Hill is the likely culmination of a concerted effort by Democrats and their loyal media allies in demonizing the Texas Republican: over a disagreement of policy. Just one example, courtesy of The Examiner, from […]
