News you can’t use: All three network nightly news shows last night failed to mention the Congressional Budget Office report that says the cost of Obamacare will be twice what was predicted, and that millions will lose their health plans because of it.
This is a good example of why I’ve said for years that if you depend on television for your news, you are not only uninformed, you are misinformed.
The judge in the JPL intelligent design lawsuit has ruled against JPL. The press will be allowed to observe and report on the testimony.
David Coppedge, the man JPL fired, testified yesterday, outlining his belief in intelligent design. From the quotes included in the article, he certainly didn’t put forth a convincing case. He also didn’t say anything that justified firing him.
“Obamacare: If possible, the news Is getting worse.”
Here’s a new little tidbit:
When the House of Representatives votes next week on repealing Obamacare’s unaccountable, unelected IPAB board, at least some Democrats are likely to support repeal. The IPAB repeal bill, sponsored by Rep. Phil Roe (R-TN), received bi-partisan support as it made its way through House committees, showing that Democrats are equally worried about the power of the board to usurp the job of the people’s elected representatives.
Maybe these idiotic Democrats should have read the bill before they passed it. That they obviously didn’t is further proof that they should be fired.
A federal appeals court has rejected a lawsuit from various environmental groups that was trying to overturn Congressional legislation that removed the wolf from the endangered species list.
The ruling from a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Congress had the right to intervene when it stripped protections from wolves last spring.
Lawmakers stepped in after court rulings kept wolves on the endangered list for years after they reached recovery goals. [emphasis mine]
I emphasis the last sentence because it once again illustrates how completely irrelevant reality is to these environmental laws and to those who defend them.
Killing the messenger: Rather than investigate the potential voter fraud exposed by James O’Keefe, Vermont elected officials, all Democrats, want to investigate James O’Keefe for exposing the fraud.
Finding out what’s in it: The Congressional Budget Office, in a report released this week, says that by 2016 Obamacare will cause 4 million people to lose their employer health insurance coverage.
Good news? A major airport in Florida has decided to evict the TSA and go with a private company to screen passengers.
The problem is that this really won’t change anything, as the company will be under TSA supervision and regulations, and will therefore be required by the TSA to do exactly the same thing the TSA has been doing.
The only real solution is to junk this whole charade. Airport security accomplishes nothing except to destroy our sense of freedom.
Leftwing civility: Comedian Chris Rock physically attacked a camerawoman when he was asked about his own comments calling the tea party was “insane” and “crazy”. With video.
Leftwing civility: NBC’s Al Sharpton trashing “homos,” “Chinamen,” “crackers,” and “niggers.”
We’re here to help you: A man in Georgia was ticketed and threatened with jail after he refused to remove an American flag that’s been flying outside his business for more than thirty years.
The law is such an inconvenient thing: The IRS under Obama decided last year that it can require licenses from tax preparers, even though no law gives the tax agency that power.
JPL lawyers want to limit media access and reporting during ‘intelligent design’ trial.
This suggests strongly to me that JPL did fire this guy because of his religious beliefs.
No longer is it good enough to disagree with conservatives. They must be fired from their jobs, separated from their advertisers, booted from the airwaves, buried under a prehistoric rock. The tactics attributed to Joe McCarthy tied to the polemical rigor associated with Jenny McCarthy.
Was an evangelical Christian fired from his job at JPL because of his religious beliefs? A court case beginning Monday might tell us.
“Western nations appear to have fallen out of love with free speech.”
Actually, it ain’t the west that has rejected free speech, but a large percentage of the modern intellectual community, often liberal, that has decided that speech is only free if it doesn’t offend anyone. Which of course means that, under that definition, there is no such thing.
The McCarthyism of the left: The blacklisting of Meatloaf, merely because he is a Republican.
Good for them: Two Democratic senators have introduced legislation that would repeal the indefinite detention of Americans authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 that was passed in November.
My only complaint is this: Why did these same two senators, along with 81 other senators and 283 House members vote for this unconstitutional obscenity in the first place?
We’ve only just begun: Ave Maria University has now sued the Obama administration over the government’s mandate that the university provide contraceptives at no charge to its employees.
The Senate’s tea party caucus yesterday proposed a budget plan aimed at balancing the federal budget by 2017.
The news article gives a broad outline of the plan, including some basic changes to several entitlement programs, a freezing of government spending at 2008 levels, and the elimination of four government agencies and the privatization of the TSA. A detailed look will probably find that some of these proposals are poorly thought out or impractical. However, at least these senators are proposing something, unlike the Democrats, who in the Senate have not even introduced a budget for more than three years.
Rather than bow to political correctness, the Houston Astros have decided to use their original Colt uniform — with revolver — on the uniforms the team will wear in celebrating its fifieth anniversary this April.
People could live with big. It’s too big that’s getting to them. Under the Obama presidency, something outside the norm happened. Amid ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, the $800 billion stimulus injection and a federal spending boom, something snapped in the steady-state relationship between many citizens and Washington. A lot of people feel the government, finally, is really starting to crowd them. It has made them uneasy. For the Santorum audience, the call-and-response word to push back against the unease is “freedom.”
Freedom of speech alert: A man was arrested and now faces 60 days in jail and a $500 fine for simply holding up a protest sign on the public plaza outside the Supreme Court in Washington.
Video of him shows he was still and quiet and more than 100 feet from the Court entrance. Nonetheless, officers arrested him, charging him with violating a so-called “no speech zone.”
The U.S. debt, graphed to show how it rose or fell since 1981, compared with who controlled Congress and the White House.
Though to my mind the Republicans have generally been a failure in controlling the growth of government when they held power during the past thirty years, this data shows clearly how far worse the Democrats have been during this same time period.
Consistently hostile and opposed to Judeo-Christian religious beliefs.
With sources and documentation. The list is appalling.
2010 was a trend, not a fluke: An incumbent eight year Republican Congresswoman lost to a tea party favorite in Tuesday’s Ohio primary.
This story illustrates once again that the tea party movement is not a partisan movement. Republican candidates who don’t toe the line on spending and taxes, like the Democrats, are going to lose.
Leftwing civility: Numerous death threats have been posted against Rush Limbaugh in numerous places on the internet.
A call to impeach Pennsylvania’s Zombie Mohammad judge.
Modern politically correct eduction: “Everybody from Texas is ignorant rednecks.”
