As predicted, less on Syria today. By next week, it will
be forgotten, Assad will still be in power, Putin will be stronger, Syrians
will still be dying, both sides will still be evil, and someone will nominate
Obama for another Peace Prize for not bombing Syria like the evil Republicans
McCain and Graham wanted him to. ~Bob

Must Read: Dear Corporate
America. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: I haven't written to you in a while. At least not
since my television broke down, my toaster developed a taste for human flesh
and my phone company ran away with my phone number to Mexico. Rachel
Maddow says we're both on the right and are really close together. But then
again Rachel Maddow also says the Republican Party drinks the blood of small
children. So she can be a little factually challenged on occasion.
The Uninsured Crisis
under ObamaCare
Excerpt: Proponents of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) hoped
it would achieve near-universal coverage. Yet, the Congressional Budget Office
(CBO) estimates that the ACA will cover less than half of the uninsured. A
decade from now (2023), long after the ACA is fully implemented, the CBO
estimates it will only cover about 25 million people who would otherwise be
uninsured, leaving 31 million people uninsured. Following are some of the
reasons why ObamaCare will not solve the uninsured crisis.
Unfortunate Effects
of Medicaid in Pharmaceutical Spending
Excerpt: The generic drug market has typically been viewed
at the wholesale level as a competitive market with price approaching marginal
costs. However, the large presence of third party payers as final purchasers
(e.g., Medicaid) may distort prices at the retail level relative to what a
standard model of price competition would predict, say Abby Alpert, Mark Duggan
and Judith K. Hellerstein, researchers with the National Bureau of Economic
Research.
News Flash? Report warns of growing debt in the US. By Jackie
Calmes
Excerpt: But starting in 2016, the office projected,
deficits will rise again as more baby boomers begin drawing from Medicare,
Social Security, and Medicaid’s long-term care benefits.
By 2023, the annual deficit would rise to an estimated 3.5
percent of the gross domestic product, which is just beyond the level that many
economists consider sustainable in a growing economy. By 2038, it would be 6.5
percent. (Who knew? Okay, the guy who wrote The

My grovelling apology
to Herr Schauble. By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Excerpt: I apologise for mentioning that unemployment is
27.8pc in Greece, 26.3pc in Spain, 17.3pc in Cyprus, and 16.5pc in Portugal, or
for pointing that it would be far worse had it not been for a mass exodus of
EMU refugees. Nor was is proper to mention that Greek youth unemployment in
62.9pc. These are trivial details.
Excerpt: Management knew what was happening, but failed to
correct it and even suppressed any discussion of the problems. Again, what
should be done? Enter Don Berwick. Dr. Berwick was brought in to chair another committee — the National Advisory Group
on the Safety of Patients in England,
which issued another report and
recommendations for action. Berwick’s report is a complete whitewash
of the situation. Here are a few of their observations and my comments.
[Canuck Bashing:] The Last Phobia. By Mark Steyn
[Canuck Bashing:] The Last Phobia. By Mark Steyn
Excerpt: As it turns out, [David] Brooks, like yours truly,
was born in Toronto. I think we can all agree that the only
thing worse than a Canadian is a self-loathing Canadian: It’s bad enough that
the first Canadian president of America [Ted Cruz]has to run around
pretending he’ll be the first Hispanic president, but it’s outrageous that
the New York Times’s only Canuck columnist should be the Roy Cohn of
Canadians.

Students Take Field Trip to Mosque, Receive Koran. By Todd Starnes
Excerpt: A Tennessee high
school has decided to revise its field trip policy after a group of freshmen
were taken to an Islamic mosque where they were given copies of the Koran and
while a student who opted out of the trip was given a worksheet that alleged
Muslims treated their conquered people better than the United States
treated minorities. … But some parents objected to the trips and wondered why
the school would tour a mosque but not a Christian
church or a Jewish synagogue.

Does the Qur’an Teach Hate? By Robert Spencer
Excerpt: On September 11, 2013, a public information officer
for Palm Beach County, Florida named John Jamason posted
a message on his personal Facebook page: “Never forget. There is no
such thing as radical Islam. All Islam is radical. There may be Muslims who
don’t practice their religion, much like others. The Quran is a book that
preaches hate.” … Left unexamined in the controversy was whether or not what
Jamason said was true.
Excerpt: Did you ever wonder how folks get picked to sit up
on the podium, behind Obama, when he mounts that teleprompter program and
begins to read it? Well, that little trick was revealed during Obama's 2012
campaign. It seems the way it works is Obama's handlers show up well before the
speech, takes a look at the crowd and begins culling a nice mix of old and
young, Black, White, Asian and Hispanic, and most adoring, then leads them to
those podium seats to complete scene as the Anointed One prepares to speak. I
was a bit amused to read that Obama's handlers had a bit of trouble filling
those seats up on the stage on his last tour.

Tuesday as House Republican leaders moved toward stripping funding from
President Obama’s landmark health-care initiative and setting up a stalemate
with the Democratic Senate. (The media will convince the public it is the Republicans’
fault, though of course either side could avoid it by giving in to the other.

The Price of
Politics: Debt and deficits impoverish us in ways we can only
begin to measure. By Kevin D.
Williamson
Excerpt: That’s the best-case scenario. The more realistic
outcome is that each of those measures of debt and spending as a share of GDP
will in fact be considerably worse, because our GDP will grow more slowly. We
have entered the realm of the vicious circle: Debt and deficits will slow down
economic growth, and slower economic growth will make our debt and deficits
worse.

What a Dark-Age
Ideology Can Do. By Elise Cooper
Excerpt: DeMille emphasizes the ruthlessness of the African
and Muslim nations: he says, in writing about the revolution, "Men like
that are taking over the world...what the hell has gone wrong[?]" In
explaining it, DeMille noted, "They just shot three hundred members of the
royal family. I wanted to write how Marxists typically tried to kill and
eliminate the aristocracy. The brutality against the ruling class was a
knee-jerk reaction, which unraveled that society. The violence can be a history
lesson for today when all this cruelty is being inflicted on the Coptic Christians in Egypt
and Syria.
Quote from The Patriot Post
Comedian Jay Leno: "USA Today had a big front-page
feature on the new health care law, and said that the opposition to ObamaCare

Excerpt: On Tuesday, an international panel of scientists
and scholars released a report contradicting the
findings of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), often considered the authority on the matter. The panel, called the
Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) cites thousands
of peer-reviewed articles that the IPCC reportedly ignores and found “no
empirical evidence . . . to substantiate the claim that 2 [degrees
Celsius] of warming presents a threat to planetary ecologies or
environments,” one finding of the IPCC’s work. They also found no evidence that
“a warming will be more economically costly than an equivalent cooling,” another
tenet of the IPCC.

The Great Oil
Conspiracy: How the U.S. Government
Hid the Nazi Discovery of Abiotic Oil from the American People
At the end of World
War II, U.S. intelligence
agents confiscated thousands of Nazi documents on what was known as the
“Fischer-Tropsch Process”—a series of equations developed by German chemists
unlocking the secrets of how oil is formed. When the Nazis took power, Germany had
resolved to develop enough synthetic oil to wage war successfully, even without
abundant national oil reserves. For decades, these confiscated German documents
remained largely ignored in a United States where
petro-geologists and petro-chemists were convinced that oil was a “fossil fuel”
created by ancient decaying biological debris. (I’m unconvinced. ~Bob.)

Obama: Losing the
Room. By Maureen O'Dowd
Excerpt: With a shrinking circle of trust inside the White
House, Obama is having trouble establishing trust outside with once reliable

defiance of Democrats who are despairing of his passive, reactive
leadership.
Biofuels fraud

As Budget Fight
Looms, Obama Sees Defiance
in His Own Party.
Excerpt: In recent weeks, disgruntled Democrats,
particularly liberals, have bolted from the White House on issues like National
Security Agency surveillance policies, a planned military strike on Syria and the
potential choice of Lawrence H. Summers to lead the Federal Reserve. In
private, they often sound exasperated describing Mr. Obama’s operation; in
public, they are sometimes only a little more restrained. They complain the
White House has not consulted enough and failed to assert leadership.
Germany: An election that affects us all.
Excerpt: It is hard to think of any election
in recent times in Europe which
has mattered more to more people than the one that takes place in Germany on
Sunday. This election, however, is important not just for Germans, who will
naturally be the people most directly affected by the outcome. In some respects
the result will be just as closely watched across the whole of the eurozone in
which Germany is the dominant economy – and in particular by
the arc of southern European nations which have been compelled to enact
austerity budgets since 2009 to comply with northern notions of fiscal
rectitude.

Excerpt: How bad was Barack Obama’s timing yesterday on his
speech attacking Republicans for “hurting” Americans while the Navy Yard
shooting was still under way? All of the major networks — including MSNBC — cut
away from the speech after Obama finished his remarks on the shooting, which
means that most missed the partisan attack that followed, except for the
flabbergasted reporters.

Party Politics. By
Mark Steyn
Excerpt: Out there, in a ramshackle outpost somewhere on the
fringes of the map, brave Americans abandoned by their government are dying on
a rooftop. But here in the metropolis the dazzling klieg-light luster of Mia
Farrow and Jill Abramson plunges all else into shadow. If you're not looking at
the world through Mia Farrow's blue-tinted glasses, if you're in Beijing or
Moscow, Ankara or Canberra, it's the shadow that everyone sees, very clearly —
the sepulchral Habsburgian twilight of a dimming power enjoying its last waltz.
Poland's Piggish Pols--They're Not Alone

Post/New York Times Ponder Affirmative Action for the Ugly. By Daniel
Greenfield
Excerpt: And now it’s time to
expand the categories and start the ugly affirmative action lawsuits.: 'The
galloping injustice of “lookism” has not escaped psychologists, economists,
sociologists, and legal scholars. Stanford law professor Deborah L. Rhode’s
2010 book, “The Beauty Bias,” lamented “the injustice of appearance in life and
law,” while University of Texas, Austin economist Daniel Hamermesh’s 2011 “Beauty
Pays,” recently out in paperback, traced the concrete benefits of
attractiveness, including a $230,000 lifetime earnings advantage over the
unattractive.'
Collecting the
mountains of welfare cash Americans don't collect.
Excerpt: From Los Angeles County:
'A projected $650 million in welfare benefits will be distributed to illegal
alien parents in 2013, county officials said Monday.' That is just in one
county. 'Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich announced the latest
figures from the Department of Public Social Services, which showed more than
$376 million in CalWORKs benefits and food stamps combined
have been distributed through July to illegal alien parents for their
native-born children.' [Good old CalWORKS. I couldn't get onto that
because I didn't have an illegitimate child. The CalWORKS employees
got $11 an hour to 'work' at Los Angeles City College.
My classmate Consuela was one them. She said she had plenty of time to do
her homework because she never had any work to do at her job. I liked Consuela,
I mean I really did. My most memorable picture of her is that gentle smile
of hers as she moseyed across the campus snapping her fingers to
the tune on her MP3 player. I still haven't got an MP3 player. Love,
Kate.]

Syria
The Roots of Obama’s Indecision. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: Obama was firing commanders for the same reason
that he was unable to make wartime decisions. He had become infamous for
dithering over every conflict, demanding a countless stream of alternative
plans, poring over everything, postponing a decision, and then like a student
diving into a report at the last minute, making an abrupt and often disastrous
final decision.

style on Syria

Dangerous Times:
Putin the Peacemaker vs. Obama the Warmonger. By James Lewis
Excerpt: President Obama has now sabotaged four decades of
stability in the Middle East. First he pulled
down the biggest pillar of peace, the Mubarak regime in Egypt; then he bombed Libya
into the Dark Ages; and now he has paraded “My Army” and “My Navy” against the
Assad regime in Syria,
which is just as evil as the rebels. The one thing Obama has never faced
honestly is what everybody knows to be the real threat – namely mullahs with
nukes.
The Syria solution we can't believe in.
By Jeremy Rabkin
Excerpt: President Obama claimed in
his Tuesday night address last week that the Russian initiative "has the
potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons in the hands of [Syrian]
President Assad." In less than forty-eight hours, the administration
turned from advocating what Secretary Kerry called"
unbelievably limited" military strikes, to a diplomatic
alternative that is literally "unbelievable."
Russian Patriarch to Obama: Syria’s Christians Nearing ‘Extermination.’
The leader of Russia's
150 million Orthodox Christians begs
the president not to give aid to Syrian jihadis.
Excerpt: While many were fixated on Russian President
Vladimir Putin’s recent letter to the American people, another letter from
another Russian leader — this one directly addressed to the U.S. president
— was missed. On September 10, Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill issued a letter addressed
to “His Excellency Mr. Barack Obama, President, United States.” Whether one wishes
to interpret the letter as a product of politics or sincerity, it accurately
highlights the plight of Syria’s
Christians, especially in the
context of a larger civilizational struggle. (US supplying rebels weeks ago,
though “authorized” to aid terrorists just a few days ago by POTUS. They
continue to burn churches, destroying ancient cultures, killing and raping Christians. Why do you think POTUS has such an
amazing smile, per Politico. –Barb)
