In honor of the Persian holiday of Nowruz — I shit you not — President Obama has sent another video to the people of Iran. He starts off: Today, I want to extend my best wishes to all who are celebrating Nowruz in the United States and around the world. On this New Year’s celebration, [...]
The First Day of Spring
20. March 2010
It’s today. More specifically, the season of blooming flowers arrives at 1:32 PM EST. Fun facts about the Vernal Equinox: There are no fun facts about the Vernal Equinox. Wow. Powerful stuff. Meanwhile, Spring’s most famous holiday — Easter — occurs on April 4th this year. (That’s a Sunday in case you’ve never really paid [...]
Regarding the Supremacy Clause & ObamaCare
20. March 2010
Proponents of government-run health care tend to dismiss the threats of lawsuits from the states as a waste of time and resources. After all, regardless of the Tenth Amendment’s explicit granting of rights to the states and historical precedent, the Supremacy Clause makes all federal law superior to state rights. But that misses the point. [...]
JobsGate: Obama Stonewalling Continues
20. March 2010
Today we’re starting a new series of posts relating to JobsGate, the alleged offering of federal jobs to Democratic politicians in exchange for political favors heading into the 2010 midterm election. For about the past month the White House has refused to answer questions regarding accusations by Representative Joe Sestak (D-PA). (Sestak, usually considered a [...]
AP: “Medicare fix would push health care into the red”
19. March 2010
We already knew that from this afternoon, but now the news is getting more attention thanks to an Associated Press wire story that cuts right to the chase: WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional budget scorekeepers say a Medicare fix that Democrats included in earlier versions of their health care bill would push it into the red. [...]
White House Sending Pro-ObamaCare Emails to Federal Employees
19. March 2010
The Obama Administration has used federal resources to send unsolicited emails supporting government-run health care to federal employees, Richard Grenell reports for CBS News. Essentially, federal resources are now being used for propaganda efforts targeted towards employees on the federal payroll. The White House Office of Health Reform Director Nancy-Ann DeParle has been feverishly sending [...]
Reid Promises: Vote On Public Option Within Months
19. March 2010
The Senate wouldn’t have the votes to pass a public option under regular rules, so he would have to use the reconciliation process…again. Which isn’t the purpose of the reconciliation process. But that wouldn’t stop Dingy Harry from ramming it through anyway. Which brings us to this: In a letter to two of his more [...]
CBO: Real ObamaCare Adds Billions To Deficit
19. March 2010
What’s the difference between yesterday’s CBO numbers and those from today? Yesterday’s projection only included the legislation cost with Medicare cuts. But Democrats have already announced a “doc fix”, which will suspend those payment cuts. Basically, today’s projection takes into account the full price. Yesterday’s was merely the introductory price. And today we learn the [...]
Russian Gov’t-Owned Company to Bid On Air Force Tanker Project
19. March 2010
It’s just a bid right now, but I’m not quite sure why a company owned by an adversary is even allowed to bid on US military projects. I mean, we’re considering granting a contract to build essential military equipment to a country that just announced today it would help Iran finish its nuclear program? And [...]
Kosmas (D-FL) Flips To “Yes” On ObamaCare
19. March 2010
Like I said in the last post, Democrats are just pulling a Kamikaze maneuver at this point. They’re toast in November, so they might as well fly their individual planes into the deck of the USS America. You don’t like them? Fine. They’ll destroy your little country on the way out. Which is why Rep. [...]
