Morning Briefing
For July 10, 2013

1. Hell No
Dick Durbin thinks the GOP needs to step up and help “change and improve” Obamacare.
Hell no.
In fact, I
am disappointed with John Boehner and the House GOP wanting to delay
implementation of the individual mandate. I think Obamacare needs to go
forward as designed by the Democrats. I think someone should sue the
Obama Administration over delaying the employer mandate. It should
happen on schedule.
Obamacare
is a train wreck of epic proportions. It will ruin the economy, drive
individuals into full time part time status as employees, harm small
businesses, and make Americans more and more dependent on the federal
government as slaves to the entitlement state while ballooning our
national debt.
The
American public voted for Barack Obama twice. They should be made to
care about the policy choices they have enabled by having those policies
go into effect exactly as the Democrats intended.
There can
be no fixing. There can be no tweaking. There should be no delaying.
There should only be defunding and repealing of the whole awful mess.
Republicans
are under no obligation to mend what they were sent to Washington to
end. Instead, let the American public see big government operate as
Democrats designed it. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. A Guide to Wednesday’s Immigration Conference Meeting
House Republicans will finally confront leadership on the issue of immigration. In reality, the issue is not too complicated.
There is an enormous bifurcation between the public and the political class over the issue of amnesty. Following
passage of the amnesty bill in the Senate, the political class in both
parties thinks this is the most pressing issue for the House to consider
before the August recess. Senate GOP leadership is working overtime to beg House members to send something over to conference. The public, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about the issue, and in fact, is against amnesty. Moreover, they are distracted with the scandals, Egypt in turmoil, and summer vacations. As such, there is no reason the House should take up immigration legislation before August. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. Obama Commerce Dept. destroys printers and mice as virus cleaning
What
do you do when a computer has been hijacked by a virus? Take it to
professionals for cleaning? Sure. Secure your network? Absolutely.
Extract your data or fall back to backed up data, check it carefully,
and then erase your computer and install software fresh? In an extreme
case, that could be necessary.
However
the technological terror that is the Obama administration had a
different idea, when the Economic Development Administration’s terribly
insecure systems were infected with run-of-the-mill viruses. These
alleged geniuses who are supposed to be everything in technology that
Republicans are not literally blew their budget destroying hardware,
including mice and printers, as a response to the viruses. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
4. US Rep. Charles Boustany (@RepBoustany) Wants Louisiana to Embrace Obamacare
Robert
Costa at National Review has a report that Eric Cantor is yelling at
House Committee Chairmen for doing the right thing and opposing the farm
bill. The Committee Chairmen recognize just how terrible the
legislation is and Cantor is upset with them.
One would
think the House Republican Majority Leader would be more upset with
House Republicans who want states to embrace Obamacare.
For
example, Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA) should lose his sub-committee
chairmanship for wanting Louisiana to expand medicaid in the state under
Obamacare. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
5. California conservatives promise bloody primary for Leftist Republican
Republicans
in California will have a shot next year to defeat Rep. Ami Bera
(D-CA), who is considered to be one of the most vulnerable Democrats in
the House. But there is very strong disagreement whether or not a former
Republican Congressman should run.
Former
Rep. Doug Ose, who served in Congress from 1999 to 2005, sees an opening
to return to Washington and is apparently being courted by some in
state’s political establishment to run in the CA-07.
Ose,
who lost a congressional primary bid in 2008, is telling the media that
he isn’t happy with the state of affairs in Washington and around the
country. But there are some who believe that Ose wouldn’t do much to
help fix Washington based on his past support of big government
policies. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
6. New York, Chicago Anti-Gun Groups Fund Key Position in Milwaukee Mayor’s Administration
A
top anti-gun official working for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has her
job paid for with grants from liberal organizations. According to a
paper trail of city records, pay records, and documents filed with the
IRS by liberal foundations, money from powerful special interest groups
has been given to the City of Milwaukee with the condition that the
money be used to support the agenda and work of Mayors Against Illegal
Guns. The official who does this work is required to monitor gun stores,
conduct research for lobbying efforts, and lobby elected officials to
change gun laws. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
