Yes, now that Barney Frank has decided not to run for re-election, he has decided to actually do the work of the people. No, seriously – he is. But it took him saying he was leaving to do it, and this is a BIG issue. And that would be Obamacare. Specifically, the Independent Payment Advisory [...]

Doesn’t that just make you jump for joy to know this? Believe it or not, I am not just talking about Solyndra here. Oh, no. It is a far bigger picture than just that one failed company, though there are more energy programs involved. Peter Schweizer has written a new book, Throw Them All Out: [...]

That’s the latest from our illustrious (cough, cough) president in a nutshell. The problem with his jobs bill isn’t what is IN the jobs bill, but that the GOP is just too darn stupid to get it through their thick heads what an awesome, fantastic, super duper plan it is, or at least all at [...]

One would have to be living under a rock to not be aware of the struggles going on in Washington, SC, over the debt ceiling and the budget. Jay Leno used the following video to sum up the bickering on Capitol Hill: Uh, yeah. That sounds about right.

Ever since Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) unveiled his Budget Plan, Republicans have been attacked for hating seniors, wanting to gut Medicare, and wanting old people to die. Or so you would think. Heck, I think you could say the Republicans were being just plain hateful toward seniors, especially considering the comments by DNC Chair, Rep. [...]

And the Democrats’ Magical Mystery Tour continues, from Obama on down, lying through their teeth about Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan. Bear in mind, first and foremost, that the Obamacare program, voted into law SOLELY by Democrats, contains MASSIVE cuts to Medicare. Doctors are now limiting Medicare patients as a result. But that doesn’t stop the [...]

That is the headline of this entertaining, and accurate, assessment of Obama’s Ireland visit by James Delingpole, “O’Bama? Ph, Puh-lease!“. Many of us saw his visit there as overblown, but only someone in the UK could pull this off: Ah Bejaysus and Begorrah! Oi’ll be swearin’ boi the auld shrine to the Vorgin with the [...]

Update below the fold. I am sure this will be a shock to you, but fully 20% of Obamacare waivers are in Nancy Pelosi’s district. (Okay, I cannot restrain myself – how much does it look like Obama is telling Nancy, “don’t you worry, sweetie, I will always love you” or something along those lines? [...]

Of the duplicity that is Obamacare. Some time ago, August 12, 2009, to be exact, Obama-phile Greg Palast wrote about Obama meeting with Big Pharma from the get-go. He was not amused that Obama would do this, though others of us are not surprised one bit that Obamacare was a giveaway to Big Pharma. But [...]

* Bumped Up * My eyes honed in like laser beams at the Breaking News. President Obama’s advisor, and MIT economist, Jonathan Gruber was (via AP): “…turning to comic books to help make the pitch for the administration’s embattled health care law.” [snip]…”[with] a defensible text that is fact-based.” Wow! A comic book telling truths about healthcare. Incredible! Brilliant!! [...]

That would be the price of gasoline these days. I don’t know about where you live, but I do know I went away for a week, and came back with the gas prices higher than when I left. We are closing in on $3 a gallon here. The Washington Examiner had an editorial on this [...]

While most Main Street Americans have yet to get a glimpse of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) in action, states and private employers are already discovering it harbors more than a few challenges for our already complicated and expensive employer sponsored health insurance based healthcare. As the video below (created by Gary [...]

This story is a tad long, but it is chock-filled with a wealth of twists, turns, personalities, politicians, and much more. I strongly recommend. Politics is clearly a contact sport. No doubt not all of the punches are above the belt. I first referenced the Obama White House use of intimidation in the case of [...]

I have recently discovered the perils of the healthcare system as visited upon the elderly in a most painful and personal way. My mom’s increasing fragility has had her in several emergency rooms, in hospital beds for diagnostics, a battery of invasive tests and in two different skilled nursing facilities for rehab in less than [...]

Claire McCaskill, Senator and Obama sycophant, just might be a tad embarrassed by the August 4th vote on Proposition C in her home state of Missouri. If you are unfamiliar with what Proposition C says, the following comes from the ballot itself: Proposition C: Shall the Missouri Statutes be amended to: • Deny the government [...]
