Are less than 30% of
American floating the bill for entire nation? I think we have reached the
tipping point.
Excerpt: When you take a quick summary of our nations 316
Million people, who is left that can actually contribute to our nations economy
or pay our debts? Hard to think about? Well now try to comprehend how much
"more" can these same people could give over the next decade to pay
down our nations $16 trillion debt and continue carrying the costs of the
other 70% of Americans? The NUMBers - "Something is not adding
up" Of the 316 Million Americans, there are 156 Million in the
civilian labor force with 146 Million falling into a low-income category that
does not make enough to have a net gain for contributing to tax revenues. Does
that mean ONLY 10 Million people contribute to our nations economy? My NUMBers
put it at 95 Million or 30% net gainers, but it may actually be that bad... but
hey, I 'm an optimist!
‘Healthy’ Democrats. By Betsy McCaughey
Excerpt: California is
trying to keep secret how it spends $910 million in federal taxpayer money
granted by the Obama administration to set up its health-insurance
exchange, Covered California.What we’ve learned so far about the misuse of
that money should raise red flags in all states setting up exchanges — including
New York. In California,some of the
$910 million is going for rich compensation packages for exchange employees
($360,000 a year for the executive director). More than half the funds are
being handed out in contracts to third parties, and the lion’s share of those
contracts are for what the exchange terms “outreach.” In truth, the money
is going to build Democratic Party enrollment. (Wow, a dishonest system set up
by the party in power to serve their interests. Who would have ever
thought of it? Although this one is so bad that maybe it deserves some kind of
reward. You have to admire the chutzpah. Del)
Ted Cruz Exposes
Amnesty Bill: $5000 Penalty For Hiring Citizens Over Legalized Aliens
Excerpt: We can’t possibly expect our Senators to read a 1200
page bill before voting on it. Can we? Well Thank God Ted Cruz read it. Not
only did Cruz read it but he schooled anyone who would listen from the Senate
floor on Tuesday. Cruz found a loophole that actually penalizes an
employer $5000 for hiring a citizen over a legalized alien. Seriously. You
can’t make this stuff up. (Yep, some genius tucked this into the 1200 pages and
nobody noticed. Imagine the insanity of it, and what would happen as soon
as some citizens got turned down for jobs that went to newly legalized
aliens. Especially if the citizen were Black and lost out to a brand-new
legalized immigrant. All these giant bills are disasters in the making,
inevitably the politicians either just put in stupid things out of ignorance,
or put in clever things for their own gains, like John Kerry with Obamacare
funding for hospitals. Hopefully the publicity on this will get it fixed,
but I'm sure there are other nice little surprises still hidden in the other
pages. --Del)
Obama's Climate Plan
Has No New Ideas, But Would Make Economy Worse
Excerpt: In a much ballyhooed speech, President
Obama on Tuesday released his Climate Action Plan. The plan contains
no new ideas but would amplify the economic damage of his current policies.
Except for resolve to curb carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from existing power
plants, this manifesto either doubles down on the subsidized green energy
programs of his first term or creates mushy-to-the-point-of-meaningless new
programs to weather (extreme) weather. The president's thinly veiled plans to
eliminate coal from our nation's energy supply would undermine the reliability,
affordability and adequacy of electricity. (Nothing actually helpful, of
course, a listing of the stupid aspects of the President's campaign on the
subject. Another way to do damage to our society. --Del)

What Obama really saw
at the ‘Door of No Return,’ a disputed memorial to the slave trade
Excerpt: But if you ask Africa
scholars, they’ll tell you a very different story. “There are literally no
historians who believe the Slave House is what they’re claiming it to be, or
that believe Goree was statistically significant in terms of the slave trade,”
Ralph Austen, who as a professor emeritus at the University of Chicago has
written several academic articles on the subject, told the
Associated Press. (Slavery was more than a chapter in world history.
Every culture enslaved and every people held slaves and were enslaved, usually
by their own kind, until western civilization turned against it. William
Wilberforce and William Lloyd Garrison deserve to be remembered. In his
excellent essay, “The real history of slavery,” Dr. Thomas Sowell points out
that at the same time half a million African slaves were brought to North
America (but many more to South & Central America), a million European
slaves were kidnapped by Muslims to Africa.
Muslims also probably held more African slaves than Americans, as slavery is
endorsed in the Qur’an. Mohammad, who is considered the perfect example of
conduct for Muslims, held slaves and endorsed sex with slave women, making it
halal for Muslims today. Unfortunately, slavery still exists in the world
today, and not only in Muslim countries, but in many western countries
including the US
where women are brought for sex work and held captive. See some of the raids on
“Asian Massage Parlors.” ~Bob)
Tennessee imam: Jews and Christians
filthy, their lives and property can be taken in jihad by the Muslims
Excerpt: Note also his words about jihad, quoting Muhammad:
"I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify la
illaha illa Allah [there is no god but Allah]." And Qadhi says:
"The life and property of a mushrik [one who worships others besides
Allah] holds no value in the state of jihad....which means if they don't sayla
illaha illa Allah, their lives and property are halal" -- that is,
permitted to be taken by the Muslims.
Egyptian Protesters
Storm Headquarters of Ruling Party
Excerpt: As millions of Egyptians streamed into the streets
of cities across the country to demand the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi,
attackers stormed the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood here early on
Monday after hours of clashes with armed people trapped inside. (Photo: https://twitter.com/TakeIt_RAWW/status/351524989687721984/photo/1)
Hey, Remember When
the Media Covered the Tahir Square
Uprising As If It Were the Most Important Democratic Event Since the Fall of
the Soviet Union?
Excerpt: Is it because the thrill of democracy was only
thrilling to the media last time because it could be portrayed as vindicating
Obama's very-much-implied Messianic power to change the world? Why is a
democratic, reformist, more secular movement not exciting to the
media now? Some reports say that seventeen million have taken to the streets to
protest Morsi's Islamist, repressive, backwards, corrupt, and thuggish
government; where is the media interest in the democrats?
Pedophiles want same
rights as homosexuals: Claim unfair to be stigmatized for sexual orientation.
By Jack Minor
Excerpt: Using the same tactics used by “gay” rights
activists, pedophiles have begun to seek similar status arguing their desire
for children is a sexual orientation no different than heterosexual or
homosexuals. (OK, now it is REALLY starting to go to Hell in a
handbasket! And some people are ready to support this..... great.
Hopefully there will be such a screaming uproar that this will get buried deep,
deep under the outrage. --Del)
Syrian rebels behead
a Catholic priest before a cheering crowd. Where's the Main Stream Media
reaction? By Damian Thompson
Excerpt: The headline is taken from a Tweet from Dan Hannan,
who's rightly bemused by the absence of coverage of this filthy murder except
on religious websites (see below):
France's triumphant 'Joan of Arc' promise to
bring back the franc and destroy euro. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Excerpt: It is no longer an implausible prospect. "We
cannot be seduced," she said, brimming with confidence after her party
secured 46pc of the vote in a by-election earthquake a week ago. Her candidate
trounced the ruling Socialists in their own bastion of Villeneuve-sur-Lot.
WH Touts Kenyan
Program to Obtain National ID Cards for Voter Registration
Excerpt: As President Obama and his family continue their
tour of Africa, the White House put out
a Fact Sheet entitled "U.S. Support for
Strengthening Democratic Institutions, Rule of Law, and Human Rights in
Sub-Saharan Africa." One of the first items highlighted by the White House
is a $53 million program in Kenya
that helps young people "obtain National identification cards, a
prerequisite to voter registration." (Ah, say, how do we reconcile these
two different points of view coming from the same source? "Cognitive
dissonance" in action? So it's fine in Africa
to require official ID to vote, but back here it's an "unnecessary
obstacle". It must just be bad wiring in my brain, but somehow that
just doesn't work out for me. Call me old fashioned, but I like
consistency in policies. --Del)
Could South Vietnam
Have Been Saved? New scholarship raises questions about the antiwar consensus
of Vietnam
historians. By Mark Moyar
Excerpt: Fifty years ago, South Vietnamese generals, with
the covert support of the U.S.
government, assassinated President Ngo Dinh Diem in one of the most momentous
events of the Vietnam War. For the next four decades, American opinions of Diem
were informed primarily by the accounts of journalists like David Halberstam
and Stanley Karnow, who depicted him as an aloof and obtuse reactionary. Hence
Diem's overthrow constituted merely the transfer of power from one hopeless
South Vietnamese government to another. (Dr. Mark Moyar, a leader among the new
wave of historians researching the war in Viet Nam, has brought to the
public's attention three new books on the war which also depart from the
"conventional" view. (Which supports the narrative
that it was a civil war, none of our business, unwinnable from day one, and a
form of military loss by US forces.) It's an uphill battle to rebut that
basically antiwar narrative, which was established in the later days of the war
by the wave of antiwar figures who had become professors or media
figures. For over 20 years their writings have dominated the literature
on the war, and now a second and even third generation of professors and
reporters accept that view as gospel. Fortunately there have emerged some
excellent historians who have explored that history more carefully and
factually, and have contributed to its revised (and more accurate)
version. They of course have been attacked by the establishment in
academia, but no solid rebuttals of their research (some of which depends on
examination of the records in Hanoi)
are to be found. We can hope that with more time, more research, and more
historians who do truly objective writing, a much more valid understanding of
the war will gradually be accepted. --Del)
The Buck Stops Here.
By Mark Steyn
Excerpt: "I just received an 8 page letter from the
USDA, telling me that by July 29 I need to have in place a written
disaster plan, detailing all the steps I would take to help get my rabbit
through a disaster, such as a tornado, fire, flood, etc. They not only want to
know how I will protect my rabbit during a disaster, but also what I
will do after the disaster, to make sure my rabbit gets cared for
properly. I am not kidding–before the end of July I need to have this
written rabbit disaster plan in place, or I am breaking the law." (Step
one: Shoot, cook and eat the rabbit. Step two: Shoot any bureaucrats coming
around to check on the rabbit. ~Bob)
Washington's Decadent Lawmaking Lives In The Shadows.
By Mark Steyn
Excerpt: … Gregory
Roseman, deputy director of acquisitions (whatever that means), became the
second IRS official to take the Fifth Amendment, after he was questioned about
awarding the largest contract in IRS history, totaling some half-a-billion
dollars, to his close friend Braulio Castillo, who qualified under a federal
"set-aside" program favoring disadvantaged groups — in this case,
disabled veterans. For the purposes of federal contracting, Mr. Castillo is a
"disabled veteran" because he twisted his ankle during a football
game at the U.S. Military Academy prep school 27 years ago. How he
overcame this crippling disability to win a half-billion-dollar IRS contract is
the heartwarming stuff of an inspiring Lifetime TV movie. (Steyn does it again,
using the scalpels of facts and wit to dissect the sad, sometimes disgusting
facts of US politics as practiced today. It is enough to make you want to
weep or scream. While he does it from a clearly conservative point of view,
there is enough in his complaint that is not partisan at all, just basic protest
at a messed up and counterproductive way that things are done. Things
that in the end will have serious repercussions on the lives of all of
us. When legislators don't have any understanding of what they are voting
for, sometimes of what they supposedly wrote, we are all in trouble. --Del)
Flashback Video:
Paula Deen Embraces Michelle Obama, Compares To Jackie O
Excerpt: The media aren't all that
interested in Bill Maher calling an innocent five-year-old child a "retard,"
and seem to be even less interested in a Democratic lawmaker hurling a racial slur at
Justice Clarence Thomas yesterday. But pounding away at the Food
Network's Paula Deen over some racist moments in her past has been a very high
media priority going back to last week.
20 Signs America
is in Decline. By John Hawkins
Excerpt: Those who attack American culture and tradition
should recall that historically, freedom and prosperity are the aberrations,
not servitude and poverty. Our nation's success is not a happy accident or part
of a natural, unstoppable progression that can't be changed. Nothing could be
more foolish than to abandon the traditions, religion, work ethic, family
structure, moral code and culture that made this country wealthy and free while
expecting to continue to reap the rewards of practices we now scorn as too
demanding and judgmental. (Frankly, I think we may be at the tipping
point.. For a free PDF of my 80-page book, “The Coming Collapse of the American Republic” write

Swedish Court Hands
Out Light Sentence to Muslim Teen Rapists: Statistics show that due to
immigration, a Swedish woman now has a one in four chance of being raped in her
lifetime.
Excerpt: A light sentence has been handed out to six teenage
boys, aged 15 to 17, from the diverse Muslim community in Sweden for raping a 15-year-old girl in a north-western suburb of Stockholm in March. Five
of the teens were found guilty of aggravated rape by the Solna District Court,
with the sixth guilty of attempted aggravated rape. Immigrants refusing to
assimilate, and being taught that women who expose any part of their bodies are
asking for rape, and it's no crime to oblige them. The Swedes are the
consummate PC people, and as a result they have created a ton of social
problems for themselves. Being on the dole in Sweden gives you a solid middle
class lifestyle, and you can stay on it almost indefinitely. In Denmark, with
Muslims as something like 4% of the population, they made up something like 70%
of the people on the dole. The Danes did finally react, and put through a
whole new bunch of laws about immigration, that have drastically cut the number
of people coming it. --Del)
