Obama’s sleight of hand is this: push the costs of contraceptives and abortifacients onto the insurance companies, insurance companies paid for by the religious organizations. Obama kept the mandate but made it indirect. The problem…
At the office, at a social event, talking with friends, someone always says to me, “We SHOULD raise taxes on the millionaires and billionaires to solve our debt! They can afford it! Now, you have the perfect response. Think of my new “hero,” Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland. In 2007, in order to raise funds to…
Whitney Houston has died at age 48. How tragic! We lost a great American today. She was a beautiful and incredibly talented person. She died in the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles as she was preparing to attend a Clive Davis event at which she was to be honored. Clive Davis was like a…
I can be hard on unions, however, there is something to be said for their not wanting to give on contracts when they see the fraud that escapes notice and costs jobs? The City Time Scandal would be one such case of fraud. While Bloomberg is cutting a 1000 jobs and college tuition grants, $700,000…
The $25 billion dollar foreclosure deal will apparently not do much to harm the banks but it will harm pension funds. “This was a relatively cheap resolution for the banks,” said Simon, the mortgage head at Pimco, which runs the world’s largest bond fund. “A lot of the principal reductions would have happened on their…
Mitt Romney won the CPAC straw poll with 38%. Santorum came in at 31%. My guess is people are zeroing in on the candidate they think can win against Obama. That should be the goal for anyone to the right of center. CNN: Mitt Romney wins CPAC straw poll with 38% of the votes, according to…

“It would only take nine minutes to wipe out Israel.” ~ Sunday, Feb. 5, Alireza Forghani, Head of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Strategic Team If we go to war with Iran, Obama will be re-elected in all likelihood. American people do not change administrations when they are in the midst of a war, especially…
The U.S.D.A. is now making it faster and easier for “discriminated” Hispanic farmers to get much larger awards on the taxpayer dime. It’s called buying the Hispanic vote. This is one of the biggest scams that has ever been inflicted on the American taxpayer. If you’ve read about the Pigford settlement, you know that it…
“The process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service,” Roosevelt wrote in 1937 to the National Federation of Federal Employees. Yes, public workers may demand fair treatment, wrote Roosevelt. But, he wrote, “I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place” in the public sector. “A…
If freedom of religion lovers fall for this walking back of the intrusion on freedom of religion in the name of “women’s health,” they are naive. After the election, this will change. In November, we will definitely have to worry about religious health professionals being forced to perform abortions. Muslims don’t have to check out…

The U.S. is facing a new S & P downgrade if we do not reach a budget deal. Obama and Reid will not allow a budget deal – it’s not happening. It’s been over a 1000 days since we have had a budget and it won’t happen because people might notice the disastrous deficit spending…
Update: Obama has announced a compromise with the church. This should be interesting. Original Story: The Catholic Church should have seen the freedom of religion travesty coming because the Obama administration has a history of forcing their beliefs down the throats of others around the globe. Archbishop Dolan spoke with Obama in the White House…
I am not the least bit annoyed by the following report. I am happy to know that I, as a taxpayer, own part of a retrofitted luxury yacht that the Mayor of LA really really needed to transport his interns around. I’m sure that we can all hitch a ride anytime we want and…
