The Wreckovery Continues: U.S. Disability Beneficiaries Exceed Population of Greece
Yessir, it’s definitely lookin’ up out there. Heck, the unemployment rate is all the way down to 7.5%! There really seems to be a tidal wave of people acquiring “disabilities.” I wonder if there’s a correlation in the increase in the number of disability claims to the number of people running out of 99 weeks [...]
Hmmmm. Roofers’ Union Seeks Repeal/Reform Of Affordable Care Act
Seems some of the folks who supported Obama’s “reform” of health care are having a change of heart after “finding out what’s in it.” (thanks, Nancy) WASHINGTON, April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ – United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers International President Kinsey M. Robinson issued the following statement today calling for a repeal or complete [...]
Good News! New Obama “Balanced Approach” Balances Budget…in 2055
No wonder it’s being mocked by Republicans -and criticized by Democrats. It’s a complete joke, including cutting defense spending from 9% of GDP to 2.3%, which ain’t gonna happen. Republicans have mocked the Obama White House for talking about a “balanced approach” to debt reduction that doesn’t actually ever balance the budget. But in its [...]
Obama’s 1 Percent Lifestyle Hits a Nerve
Sick and tired of hearing about the Obama’s endless golf, ski, and beach vacations? You’re not the only one. Joseph Curl shares readers’ reactions to a column about the president’s “1%” lifestyle. President Obama had another tough week in a second term filled with bad news and blunders — and he’s only 10 weeks in. [...]
White House Budget: At Some Point, You’ve Saved Enough…
Leave it to a bunch of know-it-all liberals to decide for you when you’ve saved enough. What Wile E. Obama and the ACME Economic Destruction Co. want is the taxes; more fuel to throw into the giant insatiable maw of leviathan. Sets limits on tax-preferred retirement accounts for millionaires and billionaires: The budget will also [...]
What Sequester? SOUTHCOM Requesting $196M to Expand Guantanamo
Human rights issues aside (I just threw that stuff in there for kicks – oh, how the far-lefties are disappointed with their hero), wasn’t the Dear Leader promising to close Guantanamo at some point? Wait – all Obama promises come with an expiration date, which apparently has passed for this one. So, sequester or not, [...]
Unions Discovering Obamacare Sucks for Them, Too
Now that they’re “finding out what’s in it” (thanks, Nancy), unions around the country are suddenly not so enamored of the Dear Leader’s health care plan. You’ve heard that waivers were given to some unions, but they only represent a small portion of all union workers who will be impacted. (my bold emphasis below) “I [...]
Sen. Rand Paul: My filibuster was just the beginning
Rand Paul filibustered the nomination of John Brennan as Director of the CIA to make a point. One that the White House grudgingly got a day later, as Obama’s press secretary finally admitted that no, the president couldn’t unilaterally and without due process have an American killed on American soil. He’s right; the Bill of [...]
Can You Outsmart the D.C. License Plate Censors?
Lots of states have limits on the sort of message you can put on your vanity plates; Washington, D.C. is no exception. They’ve banned over 25,000 custom plates. (via Yahoo! News) Getting a politics-themed slogan on a vanity license plate in Washington, D.C. may be harder than you think. According to the official list of [...]
The Government has Huge Amounts of Waste, But the Sequester’s 2.2% Cuts Will be a “Disaster”
Wile E. Obama, CEO of the ACME Economic Destruction Co. is busy telling anyone who will listen that the budget cuts automatically enforced by sequestration will be a disaster. Cutting 2.2 percent of our enormous federal budget will precipitate disasters on many fronts, and -of course- it’s the Republican’s fault. Charles Krauthammer examines how the [...]
GOP lawmaker: Obama using fake Twitter messages in fight over gun control
Surprised? Not really. Everything about Obama is a fraud. A Texas Republican on Monday said President Obama’s gun control campaign is a fraud based on fake messages over Twitter. Rep. Steve Stockman R-Texas accused Obama of trying to make support for his position look stronger than it really is by flooding Twitter with messages from [...]
No Kidding? We Coulda Told You That. GAO Report: Obama’s Policies ‘Not Sustainable’
And, this is news to whom? Apparently to the lapdog media, who doesn’t report on such things if they make the Dear Leader look bad. Consequently, they aren’t reporting on much of anything that’s substantive these days. And, just this week, we learn that Wile E. Obama and the ACME Economic Destruction Co. wants to [...]
Minimum Wage Would Be $21.72 If…Um, No – The Real Minimum Wage is Zero.
Blah, blah, blah, the minimum wage ought to be $10, $21, $47, $1,000 – doesn’t matter what number they pick, they’re wrong. I always love those pronouncements about what the minimum wage ought to be. By whose reckoning ought it to be that number? Or any other number? This article in the Huffington Post tries [...]
Obama 2009: Stimulus Will Lift 2 Million Out of Poverty. 2013: 2.6 Million MORE in Poverty
All of Obama’s promises have an expiration date. Usually it’s almost immediately after they leave his lips. I’m sure, though, that it’s most certainly someone else’s fault. I’m sure tonight’s SOTU will contain more “promises,” along with the news that he’s achieved almost all of his deficit reduction goals. $16.5 trillion: No big deal. (from [...]
Virginia ABC Part-time Workers Getting the Message: Obamacare Sucks for You
Virginia’s part-time ABC employees are getting the same message that employees all over the country are getting: Obamacare is a shitty deal, and you just lost a chunk of your weekly work hours because it’s too expensive for your employer to implement. Businesses private and public are slashing worker hours to stay under the 30-hour [...]
Marines Marched in Inaugural Parade with Bolts Removed from Rifles
This has never happened before. Wonder why the administration felt is was necessary to take this step? Don’t they trust the Marines? (H/T Nice Deb) “Didn’t know the Marines had to take the bolts out of their rifles for the Inaugural,” an email forwarded to Gun Rights Examiner from a United States Marine Corps source [...]
Eric Holder: Obama Wants to “Expand” the List of Who Can’t Own Guns
The mentally ill and convicted felons are already prohibited from gun ownership. Eric Holder describes how Obama has asked him to see how to “expand” the list. Funny – I don’t see anything in the Constitution about how the President can infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. A saying I’ve been seeing [...]
Gun Owners in Western NY Aren’t Exactly Ready to Comply with Cuomo’s New Law
From No Lawyers – Only Guns and Money, some video from an information meeting in Buffalo about New York’s new gun law. These guys don’t seem like they’re ready to comply.
IRS: Cheapest Obamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family

Hey! Didja Know? The Economy’s “Poised for Growth”
So says WH spokesclown Jay Carney, as reported by Mark Knoller of CBS News. Never mind that little GDP contraction in Q4. Despite slight contraction in Q4 GDP, WH/Jay Carney says “we continue to be poised for economic growth & job creation.” — Mark Knoller (@markknoller) January 30, 2013 Haven’t they been saying this [...]
Unexpectedly (Again)! U.S. Economy Contracts in Fourth Quarter
It sure does seem like every bit of bad economic news we get anymore is “unexpected.” When are economists going to expect that we’ll see little or no growth so long as the Obama administration continues to do everything they can to squash economic growth? My guess is they won’t. U.S. economic momentum screeched to [...]
