“10 Things Social Security Won’t Tell You“. #10 is questionable. But #1, #2, #3, and #9 are absolutely true and important. Q: “Who Lost Work During the Great Recession?” A: Young people. Or as Mrs. Palin asked, “How is that hopey-changy stuff working out for ya?”
Now that that’s: settled, can we cure cancer? Please?
There are few issues where we need to put “country before party” more than Social Security, which is why Rick Perry’s comments about the program were a breath of fresh air. Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s assertion this week that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme” touched off a heated debate within the GOP whether voters […]
Hey kids, here’s the latest webisode of Down the Rabbit Hole with Duchess Rebecca; me and Leah Trost (…or is it Leah Trost and I??? Ugh, grammar is hard) discuss the key to ageing successfully, the blogger who cried “rape”, Celine Dion’s bathtub, bear punching, grandma tattoos, great-grandma boob jobs and more. I probably said […]
A video from the House of Representatives…
The local media was outside of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU Local 21) offices in Longview, Washington gathering interviews and b-roll. Here’s what happened when one of the union members, who said his name was “F*ck You C*cksucker,” came outside to discuss their possible trespassing: Aside from the lack of employment at the […]
President Obama gave his much delayed “jobs” speech on Thursday, one he’s been promising since 2008. Unfortunately for this president, few people much cared. In fact, the most damning indictment about how irrelevant this speech and this president is was seen during the speech in the House gallery, a space that was, unlike any other […]
Jewels Green reminisces on her days as an abortion clinic worker: I vividly remember the cleaning lady who quit after finding a foot in the drain of the one of the sinks in the autoclave room (where the medical instruments were cleaned and sterilized after abortions) and how we all laughed and joked about it […]
Prince Chucklehead was entertaining for awhile. But now it’s time to call in the men in white coats, before Britain suffers the ultimate indignity of this hysterical clown becoming King. Lately he’s been shrieking that only by radically lowering the standard of living of us peasants can the human race be saved from extinction: The […]
It is always amusing to hear actors and actresses venture into the unfamiliar territory of politics when interviewers are cruel enough to broach such issues. Sadly, actress Mila Kunis is no exception to that Hollyweird tendency toward guffaw inducing political bloviating. Naturally and in keeping with most of the rest of the industry, in a […]
I had to laugh when I found out about the left’s newest protest du jour. They are hopin’ mad, don’t cha know? So mad that they are busy organizing marches, protests, civil disobedience, and all sorts of activities to protest it all. But amusingly they aren’t even sure what it is they are mad about. […]
Two things. Pres. Obama gave us the same as always last night. This “Jobs Bill” is just another stimulus. It didn’t work last time, and it won’t work this time. It’s crazy to imagine that a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus (a number he failed to mention in his speech) is a good idea […]
Leggy bay bee! As best understood, Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges is ancient Romanspeak roughly (very roughly, mind ye) xlated as “In combat time, attorneys can like STFU” During the decade of war (so far – nicht wahr?) Attorneys and their legion of the discombobulated detached detachment of inapropriate handwringers, boring assetted, worrying about the […]
Another day, another bit of raving, anti-science discourse and scaremongering by a climate alarmist. Let’s start out with Heat waves, droughts, blizzards and the the rest of the year’s U.S. record-breaking extreme weather, likely enjoyed a boost from global warming, suggests a climate report. Well, there’s a truly scientific word “suggests.” Can they put an […]
After Slatecard failed to take off during the last cycle, I got together with Charlie Smith and suggested that we create our own online fund raising vehicle from scratch so that conservatives could have a place online to contribute to Republican candidates for office. That was the day when Raising Red was born. Since then, […]
Did I watch the speech? No. I went to the gym. Did I listen to it on my MP3 player with a radio or read the captions on the TV? No. Like the really boring “Interview with the Vampire” and horrible “Terminator: Salvation”, I felt no need to read or watch Obama’s speech. I’ve seen […]
“The left *does* understand that it’ll pay for its post-Tucson demagoguery forever, yes?” — Allahpundit Did Jimmy Hoffa get caught up in a maelstrom not of his own making or what? He uses a little expressive rhetoric and next thing you know, every Tea Partier in America is up in arms because liberals got a […]
Most candidate press releases are filler that aren’t worth sending out or receiving. Every once in a while, the release says something memorable or includes some useful facts or figures that at least make it worth reading. But then, every once in a blue moon, a candidate sends out a press release that can best […]
Obama is still suffering from the Speech Illusion, the idea that he can come down from the mountain, read from a Teleprompter, cast a magic spell with his words and climb back up the mountain, while we scurry around and do what he proclaimed. — Maureen Dowd This speech was classic Obama….which is exactly the […]
And given that the (Social Security) worker-to-retiree ratio is expected to fall from 3-1 today to 2-1 in 2030 (down from 16-1 in 1950) these taxes will only go up unless the government decides to kick retirees in their dentures and slash benefits. — Shikha Dalmia (Obama) believes people are stupid, or at least not […]
Although I hate flying, there is a new DOT rule that will likely increase prices, all in the name of protecting consumers. Moreover, the increase in prices will have a devastating outcome. See my video below.
As I often do, I live Tweeted Obama’s address to the joint session of congress, but for sure this speech was little else but yet another plea from Obama for giant piles of government money to be thrown around in a bacchanalia of Keynesian spending. He may not have used the newly verboten word “stimulus,” […]
Over at Think Progress, a George Soros outfit, Matthew Yglesias is actually comparing the Social Security System to your 401k, claiming there’s really not that much difference: What happens here is that you work while you’re working age. You earn money. You take some of that money to buy shares in firms. Your expectation is […]
* So now, we’re just about ready to get to Obama’s big jobs bill. He’s built this up to ridiculous levels and honestly, I think that was a mistake given the “Son of Stimulus” proposal he’s supposedly about to promote tonight. * There are multiple reasons why this was a mistake A) The stimulus is […]
Here’s what the federal government is doing about the historic wildfires that have been devastating Texas — grounding firefighting aircraft: Nearly half of the federal government’s firefighting air tankers are sitting idle at a California airport, grounded by the Obama administration in a contract dispute just weeks before wildfires swept through Texas killing a mother […]
The current administration couldn’t care less about the interests of most Americans, but when it comes to unions, Obama et al. are devoted public servants. Here‘s what Big Union’s BFF is doing for them at the expense of the already moribund construction industry: The Labor Department is investigating pay practices at many of the top […]
For weeks, I’ve been mystified and irritated by the media’s love affair with Jon Huntsman, the former Utah governor who joined the Obama administration just about the time most conservatives were joining the Tea Party movement. Why the hell is this guy — “Governor Asterisk,” an irrelevant distraction, a Charlie Crist clone who represents no […]
USA Today published a story recently by Bob Smietana of the Nashville newspaper The Tennessean attacking the integrity and work of well-known Christian First Amendment defense attorney Jay Sekulow that is shocking for what is left out. Sekulow is the head man of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a Washington D.C.-based organization […]
Barack Obama is nothing less than a hypocrite on his admonitions over public discourse and the latest example of this truth lies in his refusal to condemn the violence-tinged language of Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa not to mention his similar silence on the obscene rhetoric of many of the leading members of the Congressional Black […]
And we get to learn about this from yet another unhinged film Abel Ferrara made his new film “4:44 Last Day on Earth” to serve as a wake-up call to humanity over impending ecological disasters. The movie, by the director of 1992’s “Bad Lieutenant,” focuses largely on one couple – played by Willem Dafoe and […]
