Excerpt: There is stirring on the left. Now that the odds
that ObamaCare will crash and burn have ticked up a notch or two, the words
“single payer” are being heard more frequently. [For those who have been living
under a rock, "single payer" is what we used to call "national
health insurance," and before that "socialized medicine" and
before that "government-provided health care," by people who today
call themselves "progressives" but used to call themselves
"liberals" and before that "socialists" in some cases — all
in the hope that continual re-labeling will make the ideas actually seem
sensible.] (In 20 years, people will tell their grandkids, “We used to have a
great healthcare system, but it’s too late now to go back, even though 80% of
people want to.” ~Bob.)
ObamaCare May Cause
Decline in Employment
Excerpt: The results suggest a significant degree of
"employment lock" -- workers employed primarily in order to secure
private health insurance coverage. The results also suggest that the Affordable
Care Act -- which similarly affects adults not traditionally eligible for
public health insurance -- may cause large reductions in the labor supply of
low-income adults. Indeed, the authors estimate that between 840,000 and 1.5
million childless adults in the United
States currently earn less than 200 percent
of the poverty line, have employer-provided insurance and are not eligible for
public health insurance. Applying their labor supply estimates directly
to this population, the authors predict a decline in employment of between
530,000 and 940,000 in response to this group of individuals being made newly
eligible for free or heavily subsidized health insurance.
Federal Disability
Insurance's Looming Implosion
Excerpt: The ticking time bomb of entitlement reform is
Social Security's Disability Insurance Fund. According to the Social Security
trustees, the bomb is due to go off (when the fund, running out of money, will
need to make steep cuts in benefits) just in time for the 2016 election, says
Michael J. Boskin, a professor of economics at Stanford University and senior
fellow at the Hoover Institution. The primary driver of surging costs in every
entitlement program is not demography but rising real benefits per beneficiary.
If entitlement cost growth isn't slowed soon, standard estimates imply that
taxes to pay for them will eventually rise to crushing levels, sharply lowering
incomes within a generation.
Critics: Former DoD
Speaker 'Salted' War Record
Excerpt: Schantag, who also is an expert on phony war
heroes, said the emcee read a portion of Mohler’s biography. “Three Silver
Stars, seven Bronze Star Medals for Valor, five Army Commendation Medals for
Valor, two Purple Hearts.” “And that’s when everybody looked at me,” Schantag
told Military.com. “He stood up in front of Gold Star mothers who lost their
sons, widows who lost their husbands, and he had the nerve to stand up there in
front of them with all this. Despicable is not the word.” (Say, did I tell you
how I won the National Defense Medal? ~Bob)
Exclusive: How Ukraine Wooed
Conservative Websites
Excerpt: Several conservative bloggers repeated
talking points given to them by a proxy group for the Ukrainian government —
and at least one writer was paid by a representative of the Ukrainian group,
according to documents and emails obtained by BuzzFeed. (Huh. I’ll be happy to
post their talking points on my blog if they pay me. But if anyone pays me to
post something, I’ll tell you! ~Bob.)
Al-Qaida branch
confirms its No. 2 killed in Yemen
Excerpt: The Yemen-based branch of al-Qaida confirmed on
Wednesday that the group's No. 2 figure, a former
Guantanamo Bay
prisoner, was killed in a U.S.
drone strike.
Allen West-’Where was
NAACP and media when two black teenagers shot a white baby in the face?’
http://therightscoop.com/allen-west-where-was-naacp-and-media-when-two-black-teenagers-shot-a-white-baby-in-the-face/
http://therightscoop.com/allen-west-where-was-naacp-and-media-when-two-black-teenagers-shot-a-white-baby-in-the-face/
Excerpt: Allen West accused the NAACP and other race-baiters
of cherry picking cases for a political agenda, pointing out that they’ve been
silent on two horrible cases where a white family was savagely murdered and a
white baby shot in the face by two black teenagers: (I'm going to say right up front that I don't care about the
death of Trayvon (where do they come up with these names?) Martin at all. He
wasn't a "poor innocent black chile with a bag of Skittles" like the
liberals and the liberal media have been portraying him. He was a juvenile
delinquent who was repeatedly in trouble at school because of theft, fighting,
and drugs. In my opinion, he would have smashed George Zimmerman's head into
the pavement until he was dead, if Zimmerman hadn't shot him. He wasn't an
innocent victim and isn't worthy of all the attention he is getting. Just dig a
hole and bury him. Good riddance. But where is the outrage for Antonio
Santiago? Remember him? The media obviously doesn't care about him. President
Obama and Eric Holder obviously don't either. After all, he wasn't a "poor
innocent black chile with a bag of Skittles", was he? – LLW)
Eric Holder Doesn’t
Care About Chicago
Murders
Excerpt: “We are resolved, as you are, to combat
violence involving or directed at young people, to prevent future tragedies and
to deal with the underlying attitudes, mistaken beliefs and stereotypes that
serve as the basis for these too common incidents. And we will never stop
working to ensure that – in every case, in every circumstance, and in every
community – justice must be done.” Really? “In every case,
in every circumstance, and in every community?” Does Chicago count? Or just
the cases that the media have twisted into racial hate crimes?
What Egyptians Need. By Walter E. Williams
Excerpt: What Egyptian citizens must recognize is that
political liberty thrives best where there's a large measure of economic
liberty. The Egyptian people are not the problem; it's the environment they're
forced to live in. Why is it that Egyptians do well in the U.S. but not Egypt?
Excerpt: I just read this week that some parent associations
across the country are now advocating for their school age children to indulge
in a little daily pot smoking to calm their nerves and sooth their worries.
Hey, it had to happen. I'm not surprised at all. It all began back
in the 50's with the Dr. Spock "bible" on child rearing. Spock
asserted that physical spanking was detrimental for the healthy child and that
allowing the child to "indulge life" was a far superior technique.
(Giving kids unearned self esteem is child abuse. ~Bob.)
America’s Obsession with the Racist Within.
By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: That may seem unlikely to anyone who actually
travels to any of the places in the world that still have slavery. They are
much less concerned with media images of black people over in Mauritania
which still has slavery. There’s not a lot of interest in white privilege over
in Sudan,
where actual genocide is still taking place. And if you get a chance, stop by Papua,
where Obama’s friendly Indonesian step-folks are still killing black people.
PAKISTAN: A young woman stoned to death for having
a cell phone after ruling by a Panchayat
Excerpt: Arifa, a mother of two, has been stoned to death on
the orders of Panchayat (a tribal court) for possessing a cell phone. She was
executed on 11 July in the district of Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab
province. The victim was stoned to death by her uncle and relatives on the
orders of Panchayat after she was found to have a mobile phone.
Al-Qaeda militants
kill Yemeni "gay"
Excerpt: Two militants from an Al-Qaeda linked group shot
dead a Yemeni man in the southern Lahj province, accusing him of being a
homosexual, a police source said on Tuesday.
Boko Haram leader
calls for more schools attacks after dorm killings
Excerpt: "Teachers who teach western education? We will
kill them! We will kill them in front of their students, and tell the students
to henceforth study the Qur'an," he said, gesticulating energetically
while dressed in military fatigues and a traditional hat.
Man charged with
kidnapping, pimping teen girls
Excerpt: It happened to a 16-year-old girl in West Seattle. She was kicked out of her house and a
friend said she could stay with her and 32-year-old Yussuf Abdulle at an
apartment in the 8400 block of Delridge Way SW. Investigators said Abdulle made
the girls have sex with different men three to seven times a day and drugged
them with marijuana, ecstasy and methamphetamine.
Individual Rights vs. the Barrel of a Gun. by Ali Salim
Excerpt: When, as Arabs, we see how Western society agonizes
over everything concerning the legal system and the rights of the individual,
we can only conclude that democracy is a recipe for self-destruction, and that
the last thing we should do is adopt it. It seems obvious that we should use
the West's lack of commitment to its own existence to finalize Islam's global
mission. (In short, what the guy is saying is that when dealing with clever,
unscrupulous, violent, mortal enemies, playing "Mr. Nice Guy" all the
way is guaranteed to put you in the losing position every time. I agree
100% with this, but neither do I want us to adopt all the nasty tactics of the
Bad Guys. However, I believe there's some room in between being super PC
and being super nasty. And we need to very carefully consider when it is
time to use more aggressive tactics. With some enemies the only thing
that will get them to back away from their plans to do us harm is to be the
baddest guy on the block, and as Sherman
said "We cannot teach these people to love us; but we can teach them to fear
us." Not a PC thought at all, but a very fitting one. --Del)
How to replace
ObamaCare. By Rep. Tom Price
Excerpt: Unfortunately, that is exactly the opposite of what
the American people will experience under the president’s healthcare law. It is
neither a compassionate nor, as we have seen increasingly over the past few
months, a competent way to solve America’s healthcare challenges. Its
rules, regulations and mandates violate every principle of healthcare we hold
dear: affordability, accessibility, quality, innovation, responsiveness and
choices.
White House Has Known For Months Obamacare Implementation
Wouldn't Work: Last week, it scaled back several required provisions. They
aren't the first. And probably won't be the last.
Excerpt: If you've been reading all the Obamacare stories
lately, you might get the impression that the administration has just realized
it will not be able to implement the massive health reform as designed. It has
known for months. As far back as March, a top IT official at the Department of
Health and Human Services said the department's current ambition for the law's
new online insurance marketplaces was that they not be "a
Third-World experience."
Orissa: Catholic nun
gang raped
Excerpt: On 5 July, she took a train to Bamunigam, where two
cousins and
some friends were waiting to take her home. However, rather than take her to
the village of Minapanka, the men led her to a still
unidentified place. Here the sister was gang raped for a week.
Liberal Chick Says,
“We Can Learn So Much From Rachel Jeantel”
Excerpt: Liberal Chick is back and is singing the praises of
Rachel Jeantel the prosecution’s star witness in the George Zimmerman trial. (Liberal
chick is "like' the greatest "like" spokesperson/poster-child
for 'like" the liberals ~ JB).
IRS chief counsel’s
office involved in targeting controversy. By Josh Hicks
Excerpt: The chief counsel’s office for the Internal Revenue
Service, headed by a political appointee of President Obama, helped develop the
agency’s problematic guidelines for reviewing “tea party” cases, according to a
top IRS attorney. In interviews with congressional investigators, IRS lawyer
Carter Hull said his superiors told him that the chief counsel’s office, led by
William Wilkins, would need to review some of the first applications the agency
screened for additional scrutiny because of potential political activity.
Ex-poll worker
sentenced to prison for illegal voting
Excerpt: Today, because she voted illegally in the name of
others, including one who was in a coma, she was sentenced five years in
prison. Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman could have
imposed the maximum prison sentence of six years after Richardson was convicted
in May of four counts of illegal voting in exchange for prosecutors dropping
four other charges.
