OBAMACARE: NOTHING BUT ONE BIG LIE AFTER ANOTHER…AND YET…

Now I could swear that one of the many promises we were made about just how great this Obamacare thing was going to be, besides, of course, the one made, and repeated about 30 times, about how we’d be able to keep our doctor if we liked him, or her, was the one made about how it was going to reduce healthcare costs. Well we all know the first promise was nothing more than a bunch of bullshit and now, as it turns out, we find out that the second one is as well.

Because according to a recent report in the Wall Street Journal, consumers enrolled in Obamacare can expect to see an increase, and in some cases a pretty sizable one, in their monthly insurance premiums after the next election. And as it turns out those increases will "easily" outpace inflation, with every insurer in at least one state opting for rate increases. Now who other than your basic brain-dead Democrat, is really going to be surprised by such news?

According to official filings by insurance companies in Virginia for 2015, average rate increases range from 3.3 percent to as high as 16.6 percent for those enrolled in the online exchange, depending on the type of plan a consumer holds. And let’s not forget that Virginia’s new governor is a big Obamacare supporter. And I just can’t help but feel that all the while Barry was telling us about how this plan would save us all some money, he knew that it wouldn’t.

And something else that should not come as a surprise is the fact that these rate increases are directly related to the new costs insurers face under Obamacare due to the higher expense of insuring less healthy, previously uninsured enrollees, and also because of the new fees insurers are facing under the new healthcare law. At least that’s what one company told the Journal. So you have to ask yourself, how could this come as a surprise to Barry? It couldn’t!

Virginia is the first state to publicly release rate proposals for 2015, with other states expected to follow as early as this week, according to the Journal. In most parts of the country, figures will not be available until late summer. Predictions of rate increases have varied widely, but the projections for Virginia fall far short of what we were all told we could expect. Speculation nevertheless continues about the rise of future premiums under the new healthcare law.

Administration officials, including outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, have long said they expect rates to increase but believed provisions in the legislation designed to compensate insurers with higher medical claims would hold down rate increases. Virginia is one of the 36 states participating in the federal online insurance exchange through HealthCare.gov, with it being estimated that 216,000 Virginians were enrolled by 31 Mar.

And just to pass on a little personal experience of my own as it relates to this Obamacare fiasco. I was recently forced to change from an insurance plan that would have covered completely some recent testing that I had to have, to an insurance plan from which I received a bill for $600 for the very same testing. And all because of Obamacare. So this boondoggle definitely ain’t saving me any money! Each new day brings another new lie about Obamacre. What a deal!

Apparently, news about escalating premiums hasn’t seemed to do much to alter what many Democrats are saying about they’re being able to campaign on Obamacare this year. Personally, I don’t understand how anyone who has been forced into changing their insurance, or losing their doctor, could ever bring themselves to even consider voting for a Democrat. But if most Americans are content to receive second rate healthcare, then the Democrats will win.

‘NANNY MIKE’ DEFENDS ‘THE BITCH OF BENGHAZI’…

Well the wagons have now been circled around the presumed Democrat frontrunner for 2016, Hitlery Clinton, ‘The Bitch of Benghazi’. Her gross dereliction of duty as it relates to the events of that night in September, 2012 will now be defended at all costs. And of course one of Hitlery’s most ardent defenders is none other than the former mayor of New York City, ‘Nanny Mike’ Bloomberg, who has recently come out and staunchly defended Hitlery against what he calls conservative criticism over her role as secretary of state during the September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

The billionaire bozo who is now, supposedly a political independent after claiming at one time to have been first a Republican and then a Democrat, stated in a recent interview that "cheap politics" is what’s behind the criticism of Clinton. ‘Nanny Mike’ said, "I think most of the criticisms of Hillary are totally unfounded – you can maybe disagree with her policies, but what'd you expect her to do in Benghazi?" he asked. "I mean, it's that kind of cheap politics which I don't like. She's very competent." Mikey must have a rather unusual way to determine if someone is competent.

We’re all aware, at least those of us who actually care, how Islamist terrorists killed four Americans including the U.S. ambassador in the Benghazi violence. Hitlery's defenders are quick to point out that she has already testified before Congress and explained her actions. But the truth of the matter is that she explained nothing other than to make it quite clear that the death of those four Americans mattered very little to her. Despite the claims made by ‘Nanny Mike’, Hitlery was one of the primary cast of characters in this tragedy who sought to do nothing more than to play politics.

‘Nanny Mike’, has also, on occasion, taken the time to laud RINO Jeb Bush who he says has also come under "unfair" criticism for some of the positions he's staked out. Mikey said, "Jeb's on the board of the [Bloomberg] Foundation." He added, "I think he did a very good job on education in Florida. He's good on education. He's good on immigration, and he's had the courage to stand up." According to Mikey, both Jeb and Hitlery are "quality people." Personally I find it rather difficult to comprehend how it is that we can’t find somebody, anybody, other than a Clinton or a Bush to run.

‘Nanny Mike’ has also said that he would not venture to second guess Barry "Almighty" on foreign policy, saying that there were "no easy answers" on Ukraine, Russia, or Syria. The "bottom line" is that Europe is dependent on Russia and therefore not on board American efforts for a stronger and more unified response. On other matters, Mikey said that when he remarked that his financial contributions on behalf of gun control would secure a place in heaven for him, he was merely being flip. Like there’s anything that old Mikey could ever do that would get him through the ‘Pearly Gates.’

Look, the bottom line here is that Hitlery is no more competent for taking on the job of president than was, or is, Barry "Almighty". And frankly, neither is Jeb Bush. But Bush is a topic for another time. Hitlery recently made her positions known on both Obamacare and the Second Amendment, and as far as I’m concerned her positions on both of these important issues disqualifies her from being able to seek the presidency. If we were to elect of Hitlery, the eight years of Barry, instead of merely being a near death experience, would be made America’s official time of death.

THE DEMOCRATS AND BENGHAZI…

Now if there is one thing that we all know for certain, it’s the fact that Democrats, and that would include Barry, Hitlery and of course Nancy, care very little about how it was that four of their fellow Americans came to be brutally murdered on the night of September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya. Nor do they care who was responsible. But what we also know, and with the same degree of certainty, is that they do care, and very much so, about all things related to politics. Hence the latest dilemma to be faced by the party. Because, you see, Democrats remain quite divided on whether to participate -- and if so, how much -- in the Republicans' select committee on Benghazi.

Democrats now find themselves in a bit of a quandry, and oddly enough one of their own making. Many political experts are describing as one that could actually allow the Republicans to make the most substantial gains that they have been able to make in some 20 years. And you can imagine that if the shoe were on the other foot, so to speak, and the Benghazi attack that resulted in the death of Americans had actually taken place on, say, George Bush’s watch, old Nancy would have zero qualms about holding all manner of hearings and right up to the election. But the attack didn’t happen on Bush’s watch, it happened on Barry’s and it could also serve to tarnish the perceived Democrat frontrunner to replace him.

So, because of that little problem, Democrats have been very determined in their efforts to downplay the ‘need’ for anymore hearings, making the claim that there is no there, there, and that it’s now nothing more than old news. That we have been down this road ‘so many’ times already. To use Nancy’s words, she says, "The fact is, that this is a stunt -- this is a political stunt," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a news conference on Friday. "Issa just -- is damaged goods. They had to move from him to another venue with another chairman. That's what this is. We've been there and done this over and over again." Now had Barry & Co. not been dragging their feet for the last 20 months, that assessment might be accurate.

According to Pelosi the Democrats have several options. Some Democrat don't want to participate in the select committee at all, while others say just appoint one Democrat to the panel to keep an eye on what the Republicans are doing. Pelosi said for now, they've chosen the third option, which is to avoid making a decision until Republicans explain how they intend to run the committee. And in doing her best to sound sincere, Pelosi said, "It's very sad," in naming the four Americans who were killed in Benghazi. And then unable to resist a little storytelling, she claimed, "Two of their families have called us and said please don't take us down this path again. It's really hard for them. Very sad." But who does Nancy think it’s sad for?

Pelosi said Republicans have given up on Obamacare, so they've seized on Benghazi as the next distraction. "Now they have to find something else to talk about that isn't about how we create jobs, how we build the infrastructure of America." Pelosi said Republicans "don't believe in governance, they don't believe in science, and they want to stop Barack Obama at every step. So I don't think this is about Hillary Clinton at all, I think this is about the Republicans in 2014." In other words, if I may interpret, Republicans don’t believe in government controlled healthcare or in bogus climate change or climate ‘disruption’ of whatever the Democrats are calling it this week. In that respect, Nancy would be correct.

And yes, most importantly, it’s imperative that Barry ‘the socialist’ be stopped wherever he can be! As it is, much of what he and the Democrats have been able to do over the course of the last five years may never be able to be undone. And our country will be much the worse because of that fact. The sad fact of the matter is that our children have now been robbed of the future that they might have had. And as far as I’m concerned that is the most egregious atrocity yet committed by this man and his party. And far too many seem to be perfectly accepting of that fact. These hearings must go forward and in a responsible manner, the truth must be brought out. This charade cannot be allowed to continue, because it does make a difference!

OBAMA FAVORS ONE PARTY (DEMOCRAT PARTY) RULE…

Can anyone tell me what it was that proved to be so beneficial for the country and that came about during a time Democrats held complete control of Congress? Was it Obamacare? Was it the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act? Perhaps it was the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008? Or, was there any attempt made to reduce spending? Or to create jobs? Was anything positive actually done? Anything at all? NOPE! And yet Barry "Almighty" has now said that Republican opposition to, of all things, the debacle that is ObamaCare should actually disqualify them from running either chamber of Congress.

And our community agitator of a president made his insane little argument, claiming that the GOP was on the wrong side of history during, what else but, another recent fundraiser, in, of all places, a Silicon Valley. Barry said to those in attendance, "I can’t explain it, why they’re so obsessed that those folks don’t have health insurance." And our piss-poor excuse for a president went on to say, "But we’re on the right side of history on that issue. But if that’s all they got, then they shouldn’t be running either chamber. They shouldn’t be running the House and they sure should not be running the Senate."

Barry was speaking at his fifth fundraiser in only 24 hours, the last leg of a furious fundraising blitz up and down the California coast. As in previous stops, Barry fretted that the Democrat Party would not turn out for the upcoming 2014 midterm elections. He said, "Democrats have a congenital defect when it comes to our politics and that is we like voting during presidential years and during the midterms we don’t vote." He added, "We’re going to have to make sure that we are coming out with the same urgency and the same enthusiasm that we typically show during presidential years."

Roughly 250 supporters showed up for the event, where tickets ranged between $1,000 and $32,400. According to CBS News’s Mark Knoller, it was Barry’s 19th fundraiser of 2014 and his 57th benefitting Democrat candidates this cycle. Barry has rarely strayed from his core message during the fundraising appeals, although on Thursday night, Barry was driven off-script at least twice. As he was introduced to a Dionne Warwick song, the audience cheered for Barry to sing along. "No, no, no, I’m good," Barry said. "Maybe after the midterms." Let’s hope he has nothing to sing about then.

Barry is nothing if not the quintessential example for why we must have a robust two party system with two viable political parties. Remember too, that it was back when Congress passed LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ that there were Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress. Nothing good ever comes from such a thing. And as much as it pains me to say this, the Republicans didn’t really behave themselves all that well when they had control of both houses when George Bush was president. And if God willing if the Republicans do gain control of both houses this November, they must act as responsible adults.

And as far as I’m concerned, for Barry to come out and advocate that only the Democrat Party is worthy of being entrusted with the running of Congress seems more than just a little arrogant. After all, what do we really have to show from the last time they were in complete control? So his claim just doesn’t make all that much sense. And you’d think for someone who was once a "senior lecturer" on the Constitution at the University of Chicago, he’d have some sort of an idea about how best our system of government works. But then Barry his own rather unique notion of how our government actually supposed to work.

WE REPUBICANS ‘MUST’ PROVE WE’RE BETTER THAN THE DEMOCRATS…

Words can never even begin to describe how deeply touched I am that there now appears to be so many Democrats who seem to be so concerned about what political fortunes may, or may not, lie in store for the Republican Party. I simply had no idea that they cared so much. First we heard from Chuckie Schumer who, you must admit, did his best to warn us. He said that if we know what’s good for us we’ll expedite the granting of amnesty to those 11 Million immigrants in this country illegally so that they can then run right out and register as Democrats. And if we don’t do as he says, Chuckie said, we risk becoming the minority party for decades. So politics should trump everything?

And then, who else should come crawling out of the manure pile to offer some friendly advice but none other than that senile old fart Charlie Rangel, who just yesterday suggested it is political folly for Republicans to launch a special investigation into the terror attacks in Benghazi in an election year. So I guess, if I’m understanding Charlie correctly, we should just turn our backs on those men that Barry left to be slaughtered at the hands of his Muslim brothers. Old Charlie said, "I think it's tragic that the Republican Party would destroy itself in 2016 by not having one issue that the American people believe should be a priority." His deep concern brings a tear to my one good eye.

Rangel said, "I don't think people, Americans, Democratic or Republicans, are going to lose sleep over Benghazi. And I really think that they're concerned about the economy and jobs and immigration. What I'm talking about is, is that if the Democrats are the only ones standing on their feet in 2016, America has lost." If that is in fact true, and most Americans do feel that way, then this country truly has lost its soul. Now I have no doubt that’s how most, if not all, Democrats feel, but I have to think that most patriotic Americans are tired of all the lies and are interested in finding out exactly why it was that four of their fellow Americans were left to die that night.

Rangel made the idiotic claim that he simply doesn't want to see Republicans "destroy themselves," because "I don't want to be an American with just one party." Ok, so just who is it that this pathetic old boob thinks he’s kidding? And then in taking things a step further, in referencing the select committee to be set up to find the truth about the Benghazi attack, this sorry sack of shit also advised Democrats against "participating in a farce." Actually, and old Charlie should know this, farce is what would far more accurately describe everything that has been done by Barry & Co. in their continuing effort to hide the truth. We know little more today than we did on that fateful night.

Rangel noted that Rep. Darrell Issa's Oversight Committee "has had all of these hours and days and weeks and months investigating this, that now you`re saying you have no confidence in him, so you have to bring in a new member to head up a new committee to find the answers?" Actually that’s not quite an accurate assessment of things. Because what we’re saying here is that Charlie’s buddy, Barry, along with his corrupt little team of malcontents over there at the White House, has yet to provide much in the way of what has been asked for. They continue to be far more interested in protecting themselves than they are in telling the American people the truth. Which is actually pretty typical for this corrupt administration.

So it was then that the House voted 232-186 on Thursday to establish a special committee to investigate the various failures associated with the Benghazi attack. The Associated Press noted: "Seven Democrats, many facing tough re-election campaigns, broke ranks and joined Republicans in supporting the probe." But it was the botox queen, Nancy Pelosi, who tweeted on Thursday that Republicans have "failed to ensure a fair Benghazi committee by refusing to give Ds (Democrats) an equal voice. America deserves better than another partisan review." The select committee will have two more Republicans than Democrats, which is simply standard practice.

So let’s just say, for the sake of argument, that Chuckie and Charlie are correct in what they say. That by choosing to pursue this matter we risk future elections. The bottom line here is that four Americans were left to die. And as of yet no one has been held to account. One of the major players in the entire fiasco, Hitlery Clinton, says that she is quite content with what has occurred since that night and has also made it quite clear that there is virtually no difference whether those men died because of some bogus video, or because what occurred that night was a bona fide terrorist attack. And even after having made such a declaration she somehow thinks she’s still worthy of being president?

So as a party, what should our priorities be? If we do nothing but turn our backs on those four men and their families, then by default we become no better than the Democrats. We are the ones who are supposed to love this country, we are the ones who support those who volunteer to fight for it. We owe them to find out what happened that night, it’s the only way we have to repay them, in any meaningful way, for their ultimate sacrifice. It’s bad enough that they were left to die, but it would be even worse if we were to simply turn our backs when we could have found out why. Men like Chuckie and Charlie, as well as Barry "Almighty", are truly disgusting. And I pray that they all come to rot in Hell for all of eternity.

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE…

When it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline, it seems like Barry "Almighty", along with his fellow ‘global warming’ supporting Democrats, has a rather idiotic way of looking at things. And it was Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. Gary Doer who attempted to point out just how idiotic in a recent appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe". Mr. Doer said, "Going from 84 to 85 pipelines between our two countries -- we didn't think it would be that complicated." He went on to say, "To have people say no to the pipeline is actually to say yes to higher greenhouse gas emissions." But wait a minute, I thought Barry was against that! I’m so confused!

Doer made note of the fact that Canadian crude oil that is not shipped by pipeline is shipped instead by rail or truck. He asked, "And what are the consequences of that?" And then he chose to answer his own question saying, "Higher emissions, higher GHG, higher risk for people, again according to the State Department; and again, higher costs." He then proceeded to make the point that the oil is coming with or without the Keystone XL. He said, "And when you look out your window and see more tanker trucks, you see more tanker cars on railways, you should know it's a consequence, partially, of not approving a pipeline."

And despite Barry’s best efforts to convince Canada to simply send all of their oil China’s way, Mr. Doer said that Canada prefers to "work in our neighborhood to have energy independence with Canada, United States, Mexico." He went on to say, "So somebody has got to stand up and say the oil is coming down, and it's either going to come down on a pipeline or it's going to come down on rail and it's going to come down on trucks. Somebody's just got to stand up and say that, because it's higher emissions the way it's coming down as we speak today." So it sounds like Mr. Does might be as fed up with Barry as the rest of us are.

As most people know, if it were allowed to be built, the Keystone XL pipeline would cross from Canada into Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska, where it would then connect with existing pipelines to reach refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. It was just last month that Barry & Co. decided to indefinitely delay any decision on building the pipeline, which liberal donors and environmentalists seem to adamantly oppose. But the opposition really makes no sense if the opposition is based on what we’re told it is. But suppose it’s not. Maybe those who oppose the pipeline are making too much off of all those trucks now bringing the oil.

The fact of the matter is that the trucks and trains currently carrying the oil from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast pose a far greater environmental risk than does the Keystone XL pipeline. And regardless of what Democrats claim, there is a report by the U.S. State Department that actually backs that up that fact. The report states that transporting the oil above ground causes "higher emissions," "higher risks for people," and "higher costs." Mr. Doer suggested opponents of the pipeline originally believed "if you do not approve the pipeline, the oil will stay in the ground." He said that idea had now "fallen like a house of cards."

Barry’s stubborn refusal to give the ok for the pipeline makes absolutely no sense. Because it’s as Mr. Doer said, "The oil is coming from Canada. The oil is coming from North Dakota and Montana. It's just the way it's getting to the Gulf Coast." So you have to ask yourself, what is it that’s really driving Barry’s opposition to this project? Is it just that he’s just so opposed to fossil fuels? But again, it’s not like he’s stopping the oil from coming here, all he’s succeeding to doing is to force it to be brought here by way of the most inefficient, and most expensive, method possible. So once again, we have a liberal Democrat involved and once again we have stupidity in action!

MORE DEMOCRAT HYPOCRISY…

Once again the Democrats want us to play by different rules than we all know they would most definitely be playing by if things were different. Because imagine for a second if the Benghazi attack had taken place on the watch of George W. Bush and with a Democrat controlled the House. How soon after the event do you suppose there would have been hearings called to determine blame? Also, how soon after would the fundraising letters have been flying out?

But now, oddly enough we have the very same Democrat douchebag who saw absolutely nothing wrong with the IRS going after conservative groups, and is even rumored to have even played a very active role in the scandal, who also sees nothing wrong with the fact that our current president chose to simply leave four Americans to get butchered in Benghazi. And of course the douchebag to whom I refer is none other than Democrat E-Lie-Jah Cummings.

And also it’s this very same moron who’s now making demands that House Speaker John Boehner should shut down, and "right now", any use of the Benghazi scandal for fundraising purposes. And yet, I’m quite sure that if the shoe were to be on the other foot, this very same hypocrite would have no problem at all with the Democrats using the scandal to raise as much money as could be raised. What’s good for them isn’t good for anyone else. They’re special.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina Republican chairing the select committee into the Benghazi attack, on Wednesday told Fox News he would encourage lawmakers and groups to refrain from using the issue for fundraising purposes. Using himself as an example, Gowdy said he had "never sought to raise a single penny on the backs of four murdered Americans." And actually I agree with him, we shouldn’t. Frankly, what I get so sick of is all the blatant Democrat hypocrisy.

JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT…

What has happened to that which was once so proudly referred to as, "the American spirit?" Are we able to put our finger on the cause of its apparent demise? Has it been bred out of us, has it been brainwashed out of us or, has it become diluted to the point where it now no longer exists? How is it that so many of us have become so willing to allow our government, a bunch of faceless and nameless bureaucrats hundreds or even thousands of miles ways from us, to dictate how it is that we spend our lives?

There is just something fundamentally un-American in our allowing that to happen. And yet most of those I’m around every single day just continue on as if everything is just as it should be. BUT IT’S NOT! Have we all become so focused on our own lives that we simply no longer have the time to pay any amount of attention to what is going on beyond the confines of our daily existence? We need to make time! We must make a conscious effort to force ourselves to become more vigilant. We simply cannot afford not to!

I guess I can understand why the blacks in this country don’t seem to mind what’s taking place in our country. I suppose after years of some pretty intense brainwashing they now see it as their chance to gain some level of revenge on those whom they have been told are the ones to blame for they’re being ‘forced’ to live poverty. Oddly enough, though, if blacks in this country were truly interested in discovering those responsible for their plight, they would really need look no further than the nearest mirror. But I digress.

There has been much talk about this fall’s election. About how the Republican Party stands to makes its biggest gains in over 20 years. Ok, suppose that does in fact happen, how much of a ‘real’ difference in things is that likely to make? I mean in the big scheme of things? We now have in this country a near majority of those who seem to possess the mentality, regardless how they came by it, that America must somehow be made better, more fair. Because the rich are to be blamed for the plight of the poor.

But what is overlooked, oft-times, is the fact that it’s in no other country on the planet that one, still even today, has been blessed with the opportunities that exist here in this country. If one is only willing to work, and to make good choices, the rewards can be nearly limitless. And yet, there seems to be a near prevailing opinion that the rights of the individual come secondary to the dictates of the government. That the government is simply better equipped to make for us the tough decisions that we are all forced to make every day.

If there is to be any hope of us being able to save our country, it’s going to take all of us, every single one of us, working together and all doing what we know in our heart is the right thing to do. But, frankly, I’m just not sure that enough of us are up to the task. Especially when we have politicians who seem quite determined, and who have achieved much success, in their effort to keep us all fighting with one another, instead of against them. Only time will tell I suppose, but it’s very obvious that we’re running out of time.

OBAMACARE…THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING…

Well, with the recent release of yet another new report pointing out the perils of Obamacare comes word of yet another bonus created by the law. A bonus in the form of another new tax that will end up costing the United States hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next decade. Which I suppose doesn’t come as a big surprise to anyone, since the main objective of our present administration has been to work toward the wiping out of as many fulltime jobs as possible in the continuing effort to force as many people as they can into having to depend on the government.

This new report was published by the National Federation of Independent Business Research Foundation, which is a nonprofit association of business owners. And it was discovered found that something called the Health Insurance Tax (HIT) in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, will cause a rise in the cost of employer-sponsored insurance to such an extent that the private sector will be forced to cut employment between 152,000 and 286,000 jobs by 2023. Now the key part of that statement is that little part about the ‘private sector’ being forced to cut jobs.

According to this report 57 percent of these job losses will come directly from small businesses, or firms with under 500 employees, which of course, as we all recognize, are traditionally the primary engines of innovation and job creation. It’s these small businesses that keep the economy moving forward and expanding. The result will also amount to a reduction of U.S. real output, or sales, of between $20 Billion and $33 Billion over that period. How does such a thing come to be thought of as being a good idea by anybody, especially those who claim to be all about job creation?

Amanda Austin, NFIB director of federal public policy, released a statement that said in part, "The HIT represents a new tax on small business that raises insurance costs for an already struggling Main Street and is contrary to the goals of healthcare reform." It went on to say, "Singling out job creators for tax increases makes no sense for our economy, is short-sighted, and wrong for our nation's growth. NFIB will continue to highlight the very real and negative effects the HIT will have on small businesses and everyday Americans as we work to pass bipartisan legislation to repeal the HIT."

The conclusions were based on a dynamic, multi-region forecasting model built to analyze the impact of policy "shocks" on the economy. The model predicted that some states will be disproportionally affected by the projected job losses. California is expected to be hit the hardest with a projected loss of 23,000 jobs by 2023 and a loss of $4 billion in sales for small businesses. Texas could lose 14,500 jobs over the same period due to the tax and $2.5 billion in small business sales, while Florida will likely suffer a loss of 9,700 jobs and $1.2 billion in small business sales.

But it will be just the opposite for the federal government which expects to collect a windfall of $8 Billion from the tax in 2014, rising to $14.3 Billion by 2018. While the tax was aimed at hitting insurers' profits, the more likely outcome is for the cost of the tax to be passed along to those purchasing the plans, most of which are employers. Meanwhile, the American Action Forum, a Washington-based free-market think tank, estimates that the Health Insurance Tax will increase consumer premiums by an average of $101 in 2014, and by an average of $143 in 2015 and 2016.

The bottom line here is when we all troop off to the polls this fall we must have as one of our primary objectives the creating of the best opportunity possible for the complete repeal of this highly destructive, ill-conceived legislative nightmare that was shoved through Congress using every procedural trick in the book. This attempt at ‘reform’ was never intended to do anything other than to garner for the federal government the complete control of how the American people are able to obtain healthcare for themselves. It was something that had been a wet dream of the Democrat Party going all the way back to FDR. AND IT SUCKS!!!

YES, IT’S A FACT…DEMOCRATS DO HATE AMERICA…

I think, especially after looking at what they have done to this country over the years, and what they still wish to do it, that we can all very safely say that Democrats, both inside and outside of Washington, hate this country. Those inside Washington because they demonstrate their hatred by coming up with the highly destructive policies, and those outside of Washington, because they possess some sick fetish that drives them to be accomplices of those Democrats on the inside.

Now I suppose there will be some Democrats who may take offense at that assessment, but, personally, I couldn’t care less. Because to me for someone to desire that their country be weakened in any way, be it economically, fiscally, socially or internationally, it can mean one thing and one thing only. That they see their country as being undeserving of its rightful place in this world and see it in need of being taken down a peg or two. Thus, they set about trying to do just that.

This country, this one country in its relatively short history, has been responsible for more good having been done in this world than any other country before or since. And yet, we’re constantly hearing from those who so proudly call themselves Democrats that to them it represents only evil. Now what sort of a twisted mind must one have to arrive at such a conclusion. Oh they try to justify it in their own demented way, but they in the effort to do so they make little sense.

Being a Democrat seems to be very similar to being inflicted with some sort of mental disorder. One that might resemble a phobia, of sorts. A phobia that prevents one from actually loving one’s country, and forces one to tell all manner of lies about it, or to make accusations against those who fight to defend it, claiming that atrocities, of one form or another, were committed. Or worse, would cause one to refuse to send aid to four brave Americans, and leave them to be slaughtered.

I can honestly say that I have never met a Democrat who possessed any sense of patriotism. I just don’t think that it’s possible for one to be a Democrat and a patriot at the same time. Because patriotism is a concept that is just so completely foreign to them. As well, Democrats are really a rather despicable bunch, and really serve no useful purpose. I only wish we had more people who were willing to stand up to them, to take them on. We have some, but not near enough.

Because like most bullies, all Democrats really need is to have their nose properly bloodied just once. And even then you can never trust them. And you may even find it necessary to have to bloody them again, especially if they simply cannot be convinced to behave in a manner that is best for the country and not for them. Politicians, and more so Democrats, of late, in general need to be reminded, that it is not they who are in charge here. And it’s the country that MUST come first!

‘DINGY HARRY’ REID…TRAITOR, HYPOCRITE, CROOK…

Call me crazy, but it appears to me that old ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid must have a rather peculiar looking ‘Things to Do’ list. I mean I think it’s fairly obvious that this whole socialist game implemented thus far by the Democrats has been pretty much of a bust, that is, of course, if it was actually the intent to actually make our country stronger and more energy efficient.

You would think that even a blind man would plainly be able to see that our country is going down the crapper and primarily because of the policies implemented by Barry and championed by ‘Dingy’ and the Democrats. Which leads one to the only possible conclusion. That the destruction we are witnessing in this country is being done very much on purpose.

Because it seems to me that if the primary party presently in power was genuinely concerned, it would be talking about those measures that could be taken which would actually work to strengthen our economy, lower our energy costs, encourage job growth and possibly even replace Obamacare. But such things seem to be strangely missing from ANY discussion.

Instead it would appear that old ‘Dingy Harry’ has found something far more urgently in need of discussion. Because it was on Tuesday that our less than stellar leader of the Senate saw fit to involve himself in an online chat with none other than NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell? And the purpose of ‘Dingy’s’ choosing to insert himself into the conversation?

Well apparently the reason behind ‘Dingy’s’ involvement in this online banter was to push, or at least attempt to push, football's top executive to "act against racism" and make the Washington Redskins' franchise pick a new team name. Frankly, this is nothing more than yet another instance where old ‘Dingy’ comes across as a dog in search if a fire hydrant.

But, be that as it may, ‘Dingy’ showed up during a live Twitter question-and-answer session with Goodell, who, I guess, was fielding questions under the hashtag #AskCommish. So it was then that ‘Dingy’ tweeted, "Commissioner Goodell, "do you believe you have the authority to act against racism in the NFL like Mr. Silver did in the NBA?"

Now of course, what ‘Dingy’ was referencing was the very recent incident where NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the NBA for life for racially charged remarks caught on tape. Which while they were disgusting, I doubt the comments were any worse than those frequently heard in any NBA locker room.

Most folks are probably aware of the fact that old ‘Dingy’ has been campaigning publicly for the football team in the nation's capital to abandon what some have called a racial slur against American Indians. Personally I just think we have far more important things to talk about other than the fact a few might get their feelings hurt because of a football team’s name.

And it was in a floor speech last month, that ‘Dingy’ really outdid himself on a day when I guess there must have been nothing else in need of being discussed. It was then that ‘Dingy’ criticized the NFL for allegedly "doing nothing while an entire population of Americans has been denigrated," and urged team owner Daniel Snyder to "do what is morally right."

So I’m guessing here that old ‘Dingy’ must somehow view this bizarre line of attack as being a big vote getter for the Democrats this November? I mean, after all, from everything I’ve read the Democrats need to come up with something if they hope to have any chance of making sure that old ‘Dingy’ keeps his job. But oddly enough, I just don’t see this ploy as a big winner.

DO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ‘REALLY’ WANT HITLERY CLINTON???

It seems that no matter where I turn these days, I’m told that a majority of my fellow Americans would be just pleased as punch if it were to turn out that Hitlery Clinton would be the one to succeed Barry "Almighty". Personally, I just can’t quite bring myself to join in with that crowd, especially since it’s in my most humble opinion that America would simply never be able to survive having to go through such an ordeal as another Clinton presidency. It would be the final nail in the coffin.

So imagine my surprise, especially after hearing how Hitlery would be an apparent shoe in, if she did in fact choose to run, that according to a new Pew poll out just yesterday that points out that almost two-thirds of Americans want the next president to offer a change from the policies of Barry "Almighty." So which is it? Do Americans want more of the same, or do they truly want something different? To tell you the truth I don’t think they know what the Hell they want anymore.

Also, we’re told that the results of this new poll reveal Barry to be in what’s termed as being a second-term slump, one nearly as deep as the one experienced by former President George W. Bush. And the results are said, or so we’re being told, to likely be bad news for Hitlery or any other potential Democratic contender come 2016. The American electorate is an entity about which few assumptions can be reliably made. So I’m not that certain these numbers can be trusted to mean all that much.

So anyway, this April 23-27 survey questioned 1,501 adults nationwide and it found that 65 percent of those responding wanted the next president to have different programs or policies from those of Barry "Almighty". And it also found that there were 30 percent who wanted programs and policies similar to Barry’s. Now I seriously doubt that it would be all that difficult to determine exactly what the racial makeup of that 30 percent might be. It certainly doesn’t take any sort of a genius.

Meanwhile, it was 70 percent of those who were asked a similar question back in April 2006 that said they wanted different programs or policies from those of the Bush administration in the next president, with only 23 percent preferring similar ones. While I may have wanted something a little different than, what I was hoping for something a bit more conservative in nature, not the version full blown socialism that we got from Barry as he went on his mission to "fundamentally transform" America.

We’re told it was voter desire for change that was one of the main reasons that Barry won the White House in the 2008 election over John ‘The Maverick’ McCain of Arizona. Of course the fact that McCain was a pretty shitty candidate certainly didn’t hurt Barry’s chances for victory either. We hadn’t had a candidate that bad since Bob Dole. So I’m not really sure which of these reasons proved to be the bigger help for Barry. But we certainly could have put up a better candidate than the one we did.

But apparently old Hitlery must not have gotten the memo regarding the results of this very recent poll. Because while she has yet to confirm or deny that she even intends on running to be Barry’s successor, she is certainly has been sounding a lot like a candidate, of late. In fact, it was just today that she made it very clear that she not only supports Obamacare, but she also favors tighter gun control, and said the country faces "social collapse" if inequity continues in America.

Hitlery spoke in National Harbor, Maryland, at the National Council for Behavioral Health, an organization that focuses on mental health. It was during the speech that she gave to the group that she said, "We have to rein in what has become [an] almost article of faith, that anybody can own a gun anywhere, anytime. And I don’t believe that." She needs to get over herself, because it’s not about what she believes, it’s about the Constitution!

She droned on, "At the rate we’re going, we’re going to have so many people with guns everywhere, fully licensed, fully validated, in settings where [one] could be in a movie theater, and they don’t like someone chewing gum loudly or talking on their cellphone and decide they have the perfect right to defend themselves against the gum chewer or cellphone user by shooting. That’s what happens in the countries I’ve visited where there’s no rule of law."

And then in what was perhaps an attempt to silence her critics on the left who may think that she is a bit too aligned with big business, Hitlery also took a more populist tone with the crowd of mostly healthcare professionals. "We need to be honest about what’s happening in our country," she said. "We need [to] take a clear-eyed view about some of the causes of this social collapse." Of course her perception of what the causes might be differ greatly from those of us on the right.

Because, like Barry, this fellow Alinskyite of his said, "The debate about economic inequality is often carried out in political terms or economic terms, but it’s social, it’s a psychological challenge. We need to start demonstrating our care for one another, particularly those that are struggling the hardest." So once again we hearing about how it takes a village. Why must that always be the only solution? Socialism

And of course Hitlery defended Obamacare. She said, "There have been many complaints and concerns about the Affordable Care Act, but I’ve been struck by the polling I’ve been reading." She added, "Because it tells the same story: A small majority of Americans don’t think they like the Affordable Care Act, but a large majority of Americans don’t want to do away with the protections that are in the Affordable Care Act."

Staying on the topic of Obamacare, she continued by saying, "A small majority wants to repeal it, but that is slowly receding as a rising majority says, 'No, fix it.' This is the tradition of good, old-fashioned American pragmatism." I’m just not thinking that it’s so small of a majority that wants it repealed. And the number of those who want it repealed are most certainly not decreasing in number. So Hitlery is of course talking out her ass.

So to me it sounds like the old battle-axe is wanting to pretty much pick right up where the ‘community agitator’ plans on leaving off. I can’t believe that this is what the American people will come to want. How is it that a majority in this country will be able to look back at, what will then be at least, the last seven years and say, "YES, give me four more years of that!" As I have said before, on a number of occasions, America simply will not survive Hitlery as president.

MORE ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ PROPAGANDA…

Another bit of leftist propaganda seems to have now emerged from Barry & Co. regarding the perils which we will all come to face from what is that nonexistent threat of "global warming/climate change". According to the boys over at the White House, who just today as a matter of fact, released what they call an updated report on the topic, climate change now requires what they call urgent action if we wish to counter impacts that touch every corner of the country. They claim that the threat is very real and poses a danger from oyster growers in Washington State to maple syrup producers in Vermont. Sounding more like ‘Chicken Little’ than ever before that say, "Climate change, once considered an issue for a distant future, has moved firmly into the present." Not so!

Now of course there were more than a few on the environmentalist wacko fringe, groups found predominantly on the left, who of course hailed the National Climate Assessment as a possible "game changer" for its effort to address climate change, in part because it makes the impact less abstract to many Americans. Lyndsay Moseley, director of something called the American Lung Association's Healthy Air campaign said, "It will help put their own experiences in context, and we think that is important in generating interest and action on the issue." What must it be like to be simple-minded enough to allow yourself to be convinced of such nonsense and by the same charlatans who were warning us in the 70’s to start preparing for a coming ice age? Just sayin’!

Supposedly, this report, which has been described by its supporters as being rather extensive, detailed how consequences of climate change are hitting on several fronts, including health, infrastructure, water supply, agriculture and especially in more frequent severe weather such as floods and droughts. And in what I can only guess was an attempt to make it sound all the more convincing to the little people, the supposed impacts are also broken down by region - from storm surges in the Northeast to wildfires and water shortages in the southwestern United States. A great amount of effort must have been expended in trying to make sure that somehow every section of the country could be made to at least appear to face some form of weather-induced cataclysm.

John Podesta, devoted leftist and therefore one of the primary advisers to Barry "Almighty", spread the bullshit on pretty heavy when he said on Monday that the report includes "a huge amount of practical, usable knowledge that state and local decision-makers can take advantage of as they plan on or for the impacts of climate change and work to make their communities more resilient." Podesta said the administration hopes that conveying the warnings contained in the report can help the administration implement the president's Climate Action Plan, which was unveiled in June 2013 and focuses on executive actions Barry can use to rein in polluters. Let’s be honest, there is very little in this report that would be of any real use to state or local decision-makers.

And it was Vicki Arroyo, some executive director of the Georgetown Climate Center of Georgetown University who made the point that the focus on solutions, not just warnings, is key. She said, "You really can't just provide a report that paints this dark picture of all these impacts. You have to couple it with a message of what our government can do about it, what you can do about it and what our communities can do." Let’s face it, if there really was an issue with our climate, there is very little, if anything, that our government could do about. After all, they can’t even put a website together, remember? Or have we all forgotten that already? Can we really trust that such a government could do anything about something as complex as our climate?

One of the biggest lies put forward in this cockamamie report is the one that makes the claim that the past decade was the country's warmest on record, and that some extreme weather events have increased in recent years. But the truth is that there has not been any sort of an increase in temperature for the last 15 years. And we’re also now at a 60 year low for tornado activity as well as a low for hurricane activity in the Atlantic. So their claims are nothing but bogus scare tactics. But they don’t stop with claims of severe weather, they also sound the alarm regarding other supposed impacts of climate change, such as an increase in the risk of disease transmission, decrease air quality and can increase mental health problems, among the many other effects.

And then of course, as is usually the case, for good measure they throw in the all the sophomoric nonsense about ongoing sea-level rise, which, as the claim goes, increases the risk of erosion and storm surge damage and raises the stakes for the nearly 5 million Americans who live within four feet of the local high-tide level. Look, if we are actually going to be stupid enough to fall for any of this idiotic drivel, then we will deserve whatever it is that we get in return for doing so. Over the course of the last 5 years the government has been allowed to worm ever farther into the private lives of the American people. Barry’s primary objective here is to engineer the creation of a mechanism that permits the government to very strictly control to what degree we are able to take advantage of our own energy resources.

OBAMACARE REMAINS LESS POPULAR THAN EVER…

As proud as the Democrats appear to be of their single-handed accomplishment, and boasting that, yes, they will most definitely be able to very proudly run on it come this November, I’m sure who it is that they are working so hard to convince. Because despite all of their spin they don’t seem to be having much luck in convincing all that many people that this creation of theirs is the boon that they all said it would be. At least if a new poll that rates public opposition to Obamacare now at an all-time high can be trusted.

Because it’s according to the numbers taken from a recent USA Today/Pew survey that 55 percent of the American people still say that they disapprove of this boondoggle. And that is the highest total since this debacle referred to as Obamacare was shoved through Congress and onto Barry who signed it into law back in 2010. Also according to this poll we now seem to have 41 percent who can bring themselves to say that they actually support it. Those must be the Obama-phone crowd.

And we also learned from this poll that 49 percent of those surveyed seem to be of the opinion that the major provisions of Obamacare are most likely "here to stay," while 43 percent think they will be erased from the law. Also it was 67 percent of those people who support the law think its major provisions are "here to stay." Personally, I’d like to see the whole thing scrapped, because I think most of us can agree that creating Obamacare had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with attempting to control the cost of healthcare.

With Barry & Co. making the claim that more than 8 million Americans signed up for healthcare through the law from October to the middle of April, a Gallup-Healthways report showed that the ‘estimated’ percentage of Americans without healthcare, 13.4 percent, is supposedly the lowest since that statistic first began being tracked back in 2008. But with public support for Obamacare pretty much teetering on the edge there remains little doubt that healthcare will be a key issue in the midterm elections.

Now if we can believe Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, which I don’t for a second, he said, "Obviously, Republicans don't like Obamacare, which is not surprising since not a single Republican voted for it." He then went on to say, "But much more importantly, independent voters — the swing voters, those that go back and forth and decide every election — also don't like Obamacare." He added, "For them, it's going to be a big, if not the decisive, issue in how they cast their vote this fall." He’s probably right.

Now the way I see it, the Republicans, should they take control of the Senate and keep control of the House, will have a very short window of opportunity, two short years, to demonstrate that they are serious about making substantive changes not only to Obamacare, but to a whole host of issues. If they choose not to, deciding to simply coast while providing nothing but lip service, then their time in power will be very short lived, coming to end in both houses in 2016. This will be their time to either shit, or to get off the pot.

OBAMA AND ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’…THERE IS A METHOD TO HIS MADNESS…

Barry has demonstrated time and again that he’s not about to let that fact that ‘climate change doesn’t exist to prevent his effort to perpetuate the myth that it should be considered by all of us as being the next great apocalypse that we here on ‘Mother Earth’ will be forced to contend with. This, even though the vast majority of the American people don’t seem to share his same level of concern. So Barry "Almighty" will be doing his best to heat thins up a little come this Tuesday by giving a series of TV interviews from the White House with local and national meteorologists.

It’s quite likely that during this bizarre little get together Barry will likely point out the ‘fact’ that the snowpack in California's mountains has shrunk by 86 percent in just one year, as he also made sure to point out during a meeting with eight Western governors earlier this year. It’s been reported that these television interviews are all part of the annual National Climate Assessment push, which has resulted in Barry making climate change a central part of his ‘domestic legacy’ while at the same time taking on energy and manufacturing industries as he attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

According to some loon by the name of Cecilia Muñoz, who apparently is the person responsible for directing the White House Domestic Policy Council, "This is really real for him, in terms of what he's leaving." She went on to claim, "This is personal for him." How stupid is it that we are thought to be? And are we really expected to believe it? Climate Change is one of the biggest scams ever to be created, so it should come as no surprise that we find Barry right at the heart of it. All it is for Barry is way for him to work government further into the private lives of every single American.

In his continuing effort to cut supposed planet-heating carbon emissions, Barry has stated that he will use his executive authority, in other words his pen and his phone, to enact tighter pollution controls on coal and gas utilities while also creating new fuel-efficiency standards for heavy trucks. Barry's determination to further increase the cost of our energy has been the driving force behind his unwillingness to make any sort of a decision regarding construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and a willingness to impose ever-stricter conditions before he’ll even be willing to make any decision.

But it has now been reported by numerous outlets that coal and gas industry officials are concerned that Barry's policies aimed at climate change do not reflect how hydraulic fracturing has transformed the ability to extract oil and gas from the ground with a noticeable reduction in carbon emissions. But what these officials fail to recognize here is the fact that Barry doesn’t care one iota about carbon emissions. Other than, of course, to view them as a means to his end. His primary objective, besides driving the cost of energy through the roof, is to create a mechanism that allows the government right into our homes!

Charles Drevna, president of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers said, in referring to the White House, "Their refusal to accept reality continues to frustrate me." He went on to say, "So my question is, why are we doing this? Is it because he promised to do it when he came into office? Is it because he's got a large donor out there dangling a lot of money? Is it because he really believes it and is passionate about doing it? Or is it all of the above?" Well actually it’s none of the above. It’s just another method that’s seen as yet another efficient way to control the citizenry.

And then we have Robert "Mike" Duncan, president of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, who said that Barry is channeling his energies in the wrong direction. He said, "He's spending money, in my view, in the wrong place." Duncan went on to say, "He needs to be focused on the economy, and the balance has gotten out of hand." No offense intended here to Mr. Duncan, but he just doesn’t seem to get it. It’s all about perception. Barry is spending money right where he wants to be spending it. And as far as the economy goes, it’s in just the shape that Barry wants it to be in.

Meanwhile, Barry is spreading the word to foreign powers about what he perceives as the long-term dangers of greenhouse gas emissions. In recent talks with the leaders of Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, the president raised concerns about their financing of coal-fired plants in their countries. White House counselor John Podesta, who is one of Obama's chief strategists on climate change, said people in the United States and the rest of the world will eventually support limits on carbon emissions when the effects of global warming will start to have an impact on them personally.

So I guess the question that remains to be asked is, will we, the American people, allow ourselves to be talked into believing something which does not exist? This is a scam, a scam perpetuated by those who have the resources available to them to create what is a very compelling, albeit completely false, narrative that somehow our future generations will be in peril from the climate change that we bring about today. Actually what future generations will truly be in peril from is an all-powerful, increasingly authoritative, government, the foundation of which continues to be laid right before our eyes.

WHEN IT COMES TO BENGHAZI, DEMOCRATS SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS…

This entire Benghazi matter that Barry & Co., as well as their friends in the media, have now been, so thoroughly, dragging their feet on since before the last election, is very much something that the Democrats continue to try to downplay. And by so doing, these pathetic individuals have demonstrated once again that if you are representing the United States on foreign soil, you should consider yourself as being expendable and automatically assume that should you find yourself in trouble, no help will be sent. Especially, if it’s close to an election that involves a corrupt Democrat president.

Which, I guess, brings me to the main point of my little rant here. What really pisses me is the fact that whenever there is even the slightest hint of some supposed scandal that just might involve some Republican, there are always immediate calls from any number of slimy Democrats demanding that there be an immediate assignment of a Special Prosecutor, or worse, in the case of a Republican president, the immediate launching of impeachment proceedings. And little time is ever wasted in getting a list of the supposed offenses out to the ‘correct’ outlets so that they can run with it.

And yet, have you ever noticed that whenever it’s a Democrat or, as in the case of Benghazi, several high ranking Democrats, who happens to get caught committing what can very easily be described as one of the most egregious examples of dereliction of duty imaginable, the leaving of Americans to die, we’re all told to simply move along, there’s nothing to see here. There was a decision made to simply leave four Americans to get butchered by a gang of Muslim terrorists, and for no other reason than because it was too close to Barry’s election.

It think that it’s fairly obvious to most people, that the Democrats, from Barry "Almighty" on down, have been very determined in their efforts to stall this entire matter. And practically since the very night that the attack took place. But those inside this incredibly corrupt administration have had much help from those on the outside. One of those so willing to help in any way she can, is Democrat, Jane Harman, who’s argument is that it has now simply become old news and that we should simply let it go. By all means, let’s forget about it.

In attempting to make her rather idiotic case, this arrogant moron actually went so far as to describe the Republicans' call for a select committee, the purpose of which will be to actually investigate the terrorist attack that took place in Benghazi as well as the very misleading way the White House chose to respond to it, as a being nothing more than a "circus." So even though this attack took place just two months before the 2012 presidential election, according to Harman, the entire matter can be chalked up as being nothing more than an intelligence failure.

And in doing that which Democrats always try to do, Ms. Harman did her absolute best in trying to ridicule the entire rationale regarding the need, in the first place, for any further ‘investigation’ into the matter. Harman said, "But it wasn't a conspiracy. And there aren't aliens in Area 51 and Vince Foster wasn't murdered. And it's time to move on and focus on the real problems in Libya and other problems...." This is just another example of liberal arrogance on the part of these pathetic anti-Americans who continue to think that they are so much smarter than the rest of us.

And after Speaker John Boehner last week finally announced that the House of Representatives will vote to establish a select committee on the terrorist attack in Benghazi, we’ve had additional Democrats now beginning to crawl out of the woodwork. One such slimy crawler was Adam Schiff, another Democrat from California, who called Boehner’s action nothing more than a "colossal waste of time." What the brilliant Mr. Schiff is now calling for is that Democrats should simply refuse to take part in the investigation. So here we have more arrogance.

It was on one of the Sunday talk shows that the esteemed Mr. Schiff was heard to say, "But I don't think it makes sense, really, for Democrats to participate." He then went on to say, "I think it's a -- just a tremendous red herring and a waste of taxpayer resources. So I hope the speaker will reconsider, but it looks like he has bowed again to those from the farthest right of his conference." I’m curious if he would feel the same way if it were his son who had murdered. But then silly me, he’s a Democrat so I’m sure his son would ever be caught dead in such a spot.

And then when this genius was asked if he actually meant that Democrats should not appoint any members to the select committee, he enthusiastically replied, "that's what I'd recommend. I don't know what our leadership will ultimately decide, but I don't think it makes sense for us to give this select committee any more credibility than it deserves. And frankly, I don't think it deserves very much. We've tread down this path so many times." But that’s just it, we haven’t been down this road, because guys like this creep have been dragging their feet.

Look the bottom line here is that we had four Americans left to die, and for what? When one chooses to fight for America those doing the fighting have, up until this event, always been confident that they would not be left behind. But twice now that has happened, and both times when we’ve had a Democrat as commander-in-chief. One being ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton who left soldiers in Somalia, and more recently when Barry left four men to get slaughtered in Benghazi. We should not allow the Democrat to simply sweep this most recent attack under the carpet.

‘CHUCKIE’ SCHUMER ISSUES ANOTHER WARNING TO REPUBLICANS…

It would appear that that perennial Democrat douche-bag, Chuckie Schumer, is at it yet again. He has recently been doing his best to ‘convince’ Republicans that it would actually be in their best interest to move forward with efforts to bring about amnesty for the supposed 11 million immigrants who are now said to be in this country illegally. Actually, what Chuckie did, was to warn Republicans that should they persist with their stubborn refusal to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill this year, they'll never have a chance of ever taking power from the Democrats.

Chuckie's warning came at the same time he also chose to slam Rep. Steve King, a Republican, for what he referred to as the "spewing hatred" against illegal immigrants and he accused King of leading his fellow Republicans "over the cliff" on the issue. It was from the Senate floor on Thursday that old Chuckie was heard to say that the GOP has handed the "gavel of leadership on immigration" to King, and that if Republicans continues to follow the right-wing hard line, then Democrats will stay in power for at least another 10 years. Frankly, I think old Chuckie is talking out his ass.

And making accusations of his being a right wing extremist, Chuckie said, "Steve King — a far-right, way out of the mainstream outlier — doesn't just spew hatred, he calls the shots." Then Chuckie went on to spew that which has become his standard brand of drivel on the subject, saying, "They're following Steve King over the cliff." He went on to say, "Where are the people in the Republican Party with the courage to stand up to Steve King? If Republicans continue to kowtow to the hard right on immigration reform, they'll consign themselves to being the minority party for a decade."

And he then went on to make a prediction of sorts. He said, "Immigration reform will pass this year with bipartisan support and a bipartisan imprint or it will pass in future years with only Democratic support and Democratic imprint because Democrats will control Congress and the White House." The Senate's third-ranking Democrat noted that it's been 300 days since the Senate passed a comprehensive reform package last year, which he helped to write as a member of the so-called "Gang of Eight", a little group that, besides himself, consisted of three other Democrats and four RINOs.

Chuckie said, "Every time any Republican raised the possibility of action on immigration reform in the House, Steve King is there, in his own words, 'manning the watchtowers 24/7' to make sure nothing can be passed to fix our broken immigration system. He's an extreme outlier on the issue of immigration reform." Chuckie also railed against King for his contentious comments that there are a horde of undocumented immigrants in the United States who are drug mules with "calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling marijuana across the desert." Actually, King was pretty accurate!

The remarks have previously earned King a stern rebuke from such RINOs as John Boehner and Eric Cantor. Chuckie also took King to task for saying that illegal immigrants should be bused back to Tijuana, Mexico. Chuckie said, "My guess is that Republican stomachs churn when they see Steven King spew that kind of rhetoric," the Democrat added. "But rather than stand up to him, they give him the keys to the kingdom of immigration reform." Republicans have said that they are unwilling to pass immigration reform because they cannot trust Barry "Almighty" to enforce the laws.

But Chuckie claims to have answer for that, and has suggested that any new immigration bill should include a proviso that it will not go into effect until 2017 when Barry is out of office. "If Republicans can't agree to pass a bill that goes into effect after the president's term, then we know that 'mistrust of the president' is nothing but a straw man," he said. What may be a "straw man" to old Chuckie, here, most definitely is not one to the rest of us. Barry has demonstrated more times than I care to count, that he’s simply not to be trusted. There should be no proviso that’s part of the debate.

But I must admit that I am puzzled about something though. I mean am I the only one curious about why it is that old Chuckie might be willing to go out of his way to offer up to the Republicans some free advice on how it that they would best be able to wrestle power away from the Democrat Party? Doesn’t that strike anyone as being just a little odd? It’s as if he’s telling the Republicans, "Look, all you guys gotta do to kick our ass in the next election, is to provide amnesty to all those folks who are breaking our laws by being in this country illegally." Is anyone buying this crap?

MORE OF OBAMA’S FUZZY UNEMPLOYMENT MATH…

Now I have never claimed to be any sort of an economist. Nor am I anywhere near to being smart enough to figure out how they go about doing what they do. But having said all that, I do know that when one knows what one’s doing, one can pretty much make numbers say whatever one wants them to say. And a good example of that is how on Friday the Labor Department released figures that supposedly showed us the biggest gains in job creation in more than two years and an unemployment rate at its lowest since the height of the recession. But did they?

Because if there is one thing that we all should have learned by now from having watched this current gang over at the White House for the past five years, it’s that we should never, ever, take things at face value. And these latest figures are yet another perfect example of why that remains the case. Because these figures disguise the much less promising news that hundreds of thousands of people simply quit looking for work. So the big news here should not be the number of jobs created, but those folks who are apparently no longer looking for work.

The April jobs report supposedly showed a gain of 288,000 jobs, with a larger than expected drop in the unemployment rate from 6.7 percent to 6.3 percent, which is the lowest rate since October 2008. But I’m not sure how many are focused on the fact that a very significant portion of that drop, is due to nothing more than the fact that the labor force effectively shrunk by 806,000 people in April, to what is a 35-year low. And yet Barry’s boob of a Labor Secretary, Thomas Perez still had the balls to say, "I consider 288,000 jobs created to be significant progress."

So what we had as of the end of April is a record 92,594,000 Americans who were no longer in the labor force, and the labor force participation rate that matched a 36-year low of 62.8 percent, at least according to the numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In March, also according to BLS's non-seasonally adjusted data, there were 91,630,000 Americans not in the labor force. In April, that increased by 964,000 people to an all-time record of 92,594,000. The previous record was 92,534,000, set in January of this year.

Only the government could come up with such a bizarre way to calculate the unemployment rate where the rate can actually go down even when the number of those people who are employed also goes down. In April, the civilian noninstitutional population of people 16 and older was 247,439,000. Of these, according to the BLS's 155,421,000 participated in the labor force, down 806,000 from the 156,227,000 who participated in the labor force in March. That yielded the labor force participation rate of 62.8 percent--matching the 36-year low.

Now of those 155,421,000 folks who participated in the labor force in April, 145,669,000 were employed and 9,753,000 were unemployed. The 9,753,000 who looked for a job and did not find one, and thus were "unemployed," equaled 6.3 percent of the 155,421,000 still in the labor force, yielding an unemployment rate of 6.3 percent. In March, in the then-larger civilian labor force of 156,227,000, there were 10,486,000 who actively sought a job and did not find one, yielding an unemployment rate of 6.7 percent.

Back when Barry first assumed office there were 80,507,000 people who were not in the labor force. As mentioned earlier that number has now ballooned to 92,594,000, taking place either because people were unable to find a job or because they were able to garner for themselves one of the many entitlement programs that Barry has been actively encouraging them to take full advantage of. Now as of April, the civilian noninstitutional population of people 16 and older, or those folks that are essentially of working age in this country, was 247,439,000.

Now as far as I’m concerned, the fact that we could lose over 800,000 people from the labor force in a single month and still see a decrease in the unemployment rate makes it pretty clear just how much of farce our current unemployment figure of 6.3 percent really is. Because imagine what that 6.3 figure would be if even half of those 12 Million folks who have left the labor force over the course of the last 5 years, were still classified as being ‘IN’ the labor force. What we have going on here is creative accounting at it’s best and it has no basis in reality!

OBVIOUSLY, THE ‘MAINSTREAM’ MEDIA IS OFFICIALLY DEAD…

At what point, do you suppose, will the American people finally come to discover that they have been the recipients of what has been, and what continues to be, essentially nothing more than one the purest forms of propaganda ever to be dispensed. And it comes by way of those who profess to be, and very proudly so, members of our "mainstream" media. And once such a discovery is made, how might the people react? Will they be angry because they were lied to, or ashamed for having been so easily fooled into believing what was nothing but a pack of lies?

These days is seems that so few in the media business possess even the slightest interest in actually reporting the truth. Which is kinda strange for folks being in a business where one’s credibility is so important. I mean, who wants to watch, listen to, or read someone who chooses to be rather selective in how they decide to present the ‘news’? But having said that, will we ever get to the point where we pay little or no attention to that which is now fondly referred to as our state-controlled media complex? Will we ever grow tired of being lied to?

Maybe the better question would be, do the American people even care any longer that they’re being lied to, and pretty much on nearly a daily basis? Lied to by the very ones who we are supposed to be able to trust, and to rely on to tell us the truth? To help us to keep our leaders in check. Sadly that which was at one time referred to as being our "mainstream media" is today really anything but mainstream. What it has now become is nothing more than a purveyor of propaganda. And of late it would seem to have only gotten much worse.

Those involved in today’s state-controlled media seem to see it as being their job to keep from the American people just how much of a truly despicable character their president truly is. To keep from them not only the fact that he is purposely trying to destroy our economic way of life, but also how he seems to be just as determined to make our nation far more vulnerable to our growing list of enemies. And far too many in the media also see it as their role the hiding of the fact that Barry is, without a doubt, the most corrupt individual to ever hold his high office.

These days there are many who love to throw around accusations of media bias when talking about the way news and information is being presented. But ‘bias’ doesn’t even begin to describe what is taking place. The current modus operandi for many in today’s media has become one of blatant dishonesty and the telling of outright lies. The level of arrogance that is now on display by these faux journalists is mind-boggling. No longer does there seem to be even the slightest interest in providing the viewers, the listeners or the readers, with the truth.

Those in today’s media appear to have made what is a very conscious decision to completely ignore any and all of the growing number of scandals, and there are many, that continue to surround Barry "Almighty". They either simply leave them unreported on, or offer up only the briefest of commentary thus leaving the implication that they are unimportant. By so doing they hope to leave with their audience the impression that those who do choose to spend far more time reporting on them are doing so only out of some ulterior motive.

And I think the saddest thing of all is the fact that those who comprise our present day state-controlled media appear to suffer from no remorse regarding the fact that because of their never-ending lies the American people have been made to suffer a great price. It’s because of their unwillingness to tell the truth about this man who is our president, to lay bare just what he is doing, and has done, to this country, that the American people were conned into first electing and then re-electing this man who has no absolutely no business being in the office that he is.

NANCY PELOSI…SCUMBAG EXTRAORDINAIRE…

Old Nancy Pelosi must think we’re all pretty darn stupid. Because while she likes to claim that the Republicans' ongoing focus on the investigation into the Benghazi terrorist attack is a "diversion, subterfuge," she is also of the opinion that the GOP should shift its attention onto other issues. "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi," Pelosi told reporters on Thursday. She went on to ask no one in particular, "Why aren't we talking about something else?" Because, Nancy, Barry lied, and four Americans died!

Now call me silly if you wish, but imagine if you can, just for a second, what Pelosi might now be saying if what transpired back on September 11, 2012 had occurred on the watch of George W. Bush. Would Ms. Pelosi be as nonchalant about the entire matter as she is now with Barry being the one in the Oval Office? Or for that matter would our state-controlled media be so willing to overlook the entire matter if ANY Republican was president? I think that would be a big no, on both counts.

Ms. Pelosi’s rather idiotic comments came just days after emails emerged that made very clear that it was a senior White House official who had advised then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice to blame a spontaneous protest from a YouTube video for the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya. This even though transcripts have since been revealed showing that senior defense officials had informed the administration on the very night of the event that the assault was a terrorist attack.

"If you all want to sit around and talk about Benghazi you can sit around and talk about Benghazi," Pelosi added. "The fact is that a subterfuge and they don't want to talk about jobs, growth, immigration reform, voting rights, you name it." The hypocrisy here should be obvious to anyone. Does she really expect us to believe that if the shoe were on the other foot that she would be want to be talking about such things as jobs, growth, immigration reform or voting rights? I seriously, seriously doubt it.

This is the kind of crap that really pisses me off. Pelosi knows full well that if it was Bush, or any Republican, who was involved here, she would d be relentless in trying to score as many political points as she possibly could. Not that she would care, just as she doesn’t now, that four Americans were butchered by these animals, only that she would be able to use those deaths in her effort to smear the opposition. She’s just another America-hating Democrat, drunk on her own political power.

UNIONS SUCK!!!

Every once and while there’s something that comes along that can be considered, by many, as being a bit of good news. And in this particular instance that good news stems from the fact that more than 80 percent of workers who care for the home-bound elderly and disabled in Michigan have now seen fit to ditch that much beloved organization, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). They decided to do so after the union was banned from taking mandatory dues out of assistance checks.

The "dues skim" ended in 2013, but not before the SEIU had managed to steal more than $34 Million from the Medicaid checks of the workers' patients, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy reported Wednesday. Most of these ‘workers’ were actually relatives or friends of their home-bound patients. Which to my way of thinking, makes the taking of these ‘dues’ all the more unseemly. I would argue that unions today, or very few of them, any longer serve any kind of a useful purpose.

According to the union's filing with the federal Department of Labor, 44,347 home-based caregivers have decided to reject union membership -- "virtually all of the long-term home-based caregivers affected by the dues skim," the Center reported. It then went on to say, "It also is more than 80 percent of the 55,265 members the union claimed to have at the end on 2012." Many people today have come recognize that unions for what they are, simply put they are the thug division of the Democrat Party.

Ted O'Neil, a spokesman for the Mackinac Center, said in a recent interview that plummeting SEIU membership is a sign that forced unionization of home healthcare workers wasn't what they wanted. He said, "All 44,000 of those caregivers who were originally forced into the union are free to go back and join." He went on to say, "It's very telling of what worker freedom means to people." Folks have a tendency to get very tired of handing over more and more of their hard earned money to these union crooks!

The dues-skimming ‘scheme’ was set up in 2006, after the SEIU identified home-based healthcare workers as a potential revenue source, the Center reported; the workers were mailed union election ballots. But the Center noted some workers never got the ballots and were unaware of what happened. The scheme was exposed by the Mackinac Center and abolished soon after Democrat Gov. Jennifer Granholm left office. As everyone knows very well, Democrats are big union supporters.

And also on a positive note, the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation has now filed legal action in the attempt to get back some of the dues; the case is pending, the Center said. Michigan passed right-to-work legislation in 2012, effectively bringing to an end the era of mandatory unionization. "Not only does this show that the stealth unionization that led to the SEIU dues skim was wrong, but it also calls attention to just how important right-to-work is for Michigan," O'Neil said.

I think most of us will be able to safely agree that the unions we have today bear very little resemblance to the unions of yesteryear when there was actually some benefit to be had by the worker who belonged to one. It seems that today unions have morphed into what are essentially nothing more than revenue raisers for the Democrat Party. And too, it’s these public sector unions, working in concert with Democrat politicians, that have helped to create what has become a fiscal mess in many of our cities and states.
