Couple good examples from the GOP debate last night. The resident nutcase, Ron Paul, makes a fool of himself once again: Continue reading
Barack Obama has already sued the state of Arizona.
Claiming “preeminent authority” to write the laws on immigration, the Justice Department filed suit to block Arizona from enacting its own.
“Setting immigration policy and enforcing immigration laws is a national responsibility,” said Attorney General Eric Holder. “Seeking to address the issue through a patchwork of state laws will only create more problems than it solves.”
Good editorial by Allister Heath today about the riots and the changes this event, and the poor, lackadaisical response by authorities, has wrought:
…From royal fairytale to banana republic in one summer: it has been a shameful, embarrassing disaster, not just for the tourism industries but also for foreign direct investment.
WH press secretary Jay Carney: “The White House doesn’t create jobs.”
Obama: “My singular focus is the American people. Getting the unemployed back on the job.”
California Gov. Jerry Brown: “I would say that the Republicans are gearing up to destroy the president, that the president will have to respond in a very powerful way, and the result for the country could be calamitous.” Continue reading
The height of arrogance and economic and diplomatic idiocy is for this President to be flying around the country and the world, used primarily for his own motivations, that enormous jumbo jet named “Air Force One”. This monster absolutely sends the wrong message and should be immediately replaced by a jet more specific to an executive. The President is not some emir potentate yet the presidential jet plane has literally become a flying, in the air, grand hotel with or without swimming pool and hot tub spa. Such a tour de force makes for envy which is the antithesis of good diplomacy and foreign relations Never make your friends think more of you and your enemies think less of you which producing such a gross image is just what that plane actually does.

Evidence that this country is on its way to the trash bin of history ala Rome:
In the first of what will be a closely watched selection process for a powerful new deficit panel, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced he will appoint Democratic Sens. Patty Murray (Wash.), Max Baucus (Mont.) and John Kerry (Mass.) as his three choices for a super committee charged with finding more than $1 trillion in spending cuts by the end of this year.
Have you ever noticed that NOTHING is Obama’s fault? Have you noticed that everything that Obama dislikes is NEVER his fault? Have you ever noticed that everything Obama likes, such as the killing of Osama bin Laden, is something he alone accomplished? For example, he takes credit for creating the nation of South Sudan, Chryrsler’s rebound, for spending cuts he fought, and for ending combat in Iraq. Continue reading
I can’t shake the feeling that it was a trap. A set-up. An ambush.
And that Obama bought it. And Joe Biden made it all possible.
There was no end to self-adulation of Barack Obama following the raid in which Osama Bin Laden was killed. In the revelry, the brainiac that is the Vice President opened his mouth and identified those who carried out the Bin Laden raid. Continue reading
Welcome back, humble politician! Now that you understand the basics of how economics work on an individual (microeconomic) level, in this lesson you will learn how all of these choices roll up on a national level, or Macroeconomics. In the second economics class that you probably slept through during your pre-law school days the concept of GDP, or Gross Domestic Product was introduced. Put simply, GDP is the sum of all economic activity. You’ve no doubt seen a chart showing GDP growth before that looks something like this: Continue reading
