Quickly ducking out of town just as Kathleen Sebelius announces that anyone who lost their insurance coverage as a result of Obamacare can opt-out of coverage and claim a hardship waiver.
Yes Alice, Obama IS Pajama Boy, Chicken-Pajama Boy !
WASHINGTON DC – The Obama administration on Thursday night significantly relaxed the rules of the federal health-care law for millions of consumers whose individual insurance policies have been canceled, saying they can buy bare-bones plans or entirely avoid a requirement that most Americans have health coverage.

The surprise announcement, days before the Dec. 23 deadline for people to choose plans that will begin Jan. 1, triggered an immediate backlash from the health insurance industry and raised fairness questions about a law intended to promote affordable and comprehensive coverage on a widespread basis.
The rule change was issued in a bulletin from the Department of Health and Human Services. It is the second major response by the Obama administration to a public and political furor that erupted in the fall when several million people who bought their own insurance began to receive notices that their policies were being canceled because they fell short of new benefit standards.

The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of the @duckdynastyae decision. You can read our reaction http://t.co/jkIxlxzp39

We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E’s decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Phil would never incite or encourage hate. We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family. (link)
ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE ALREADY – GET RID OF THE THOUGHT POLICE – The radical Gay left, which is profoundly over represented in the media (Anderson Cooper, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Shepard Smith, Ellen DeGeneres, Andy Cohen, Matt Drudge, Chris Hughes, Dan Savage, Nick Denton, Andrew Sullivan, Suze Orman, Greg Berlante, Nate Berkus, Don Lemmon et al), is having fits because 62-year-old Duck Dynasty star Phil Roberts says:
“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me.”

“TAKES ON GAYS” ? C’mon Matt Drudge, get a grip. Just because YOU are gay doesn’t mean everyone has to agree with you. “takes on Gays“?.. not even close!
Entertainment Weekly Writes : […] In statements that threaten the A&E reality hit’s wildly popular and uplifting brand of faith, family and hunting, the Robertson patriarch said: “Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong… Sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.” (more…)
Put Denis McDonough, Valerie Jarrett and John “Skippy” Podesta together inside a White House which doesn’t care how radical the office of the President becomes and you have a recipe for serious usurpation.
WASHINGTON DC – Today, Politico confirmed that governing-by-executive-fiat is exactly what Podesta has in mind. The only shocking part of the story is Podesta’s justification for shredding the Constitution:

In effect, I was told, it represents the clearest sign to date of the administration’s interest in shifting the paradigm of Obama’s presidency through the forceful, unapologetic and occasionally provocative application of White House power.
Podesta, whose official mandate includes enforcement of numerous executive orders on emissions and the environment, suggested as much when he spoke with me earlier this fall about Obama’s team. “They need to focus on executive action given that they are facing a second term against a cult worthy of Jonestown in charge of one of the houses of Congress,” he told me.

A video of HHS Kathleen Sebelius is making the rounds on social media and blogs. In the video she admits that “some will pay more” for health insurance under the ObamaCare program.
Cut to chase. Get down to brass tacks. Stop the BS. Say what is. She says “some”.
Here’s what is taking place – If you had insurance prior to ObamaCare you will pay more, period. (more…)
25 year old 2nd Lt Paul deWolf, USAF, third year medical student and active duty officer on an Air Force scholarship at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, was murdered by three black thugs during a home invasion robbery of his residence, an off campus fraternity house he shared with other medical students.

DeWolf was asleep in his own domicile – a bedroom in the basement of the Phi Ro Sigma fraternity house – when he was startled awake by the noise the intruders were creating during their return to the residence after previously stealing and removing a PlayStation 3 game system. At a hearing held this week, it was revealed by Ann Arbor police that the still unnamed alleged trigger puller currently jailed in Michigan on a bond violation in a different case, had not yet been charged with deWolf’s murder.

(Via Allahpundit) Here’s Matheson’s announcement. He’s only 53 years old. Either there’s some as-yet-unknown bad news that’s forced him out or, as a Democrat from Utah, he’s tired of fighting for his political life every two years.
In 2002 he won his race by fewer than 1,700 votes. Last year, against tea-party favorite Mia Love (pictured) and with Mitt Romney at the top of the ballot, he won by fewer than 800 — despite having trailed in one poll by 12 points heading into election day.
Love already declared in May that she’d challenge him again next year; maybe he looked at the political landscape, especially with what’s in store for ObamaCare, and figured he might as well retire before the voters eventually retire him. (link)

Looks like there’s another congressional seat who doesn’t want to Run on the new Pelosi/Wasserman-Schultz campaign message pictured here in this logo.
FYI – I’m looking for the actual written ruling to share.
Federal judge rules that NSA's program of gathering data on all telephone calls made in the US is unconstitutional – @PeteWilliamsNBC
— NBC News (@NBCNews) December 16, 2013
WASHINGTON — A federal judge ruled Monday that the National Security Agency’s controversial surveillance program that collects millions of Americans’ telephone records may be unconstitutional.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon ruled in a lawsuit brought by conservative activist Larry Klayman that the legal challenge to the massive surveillance program — disclosed in full earlier this year by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden — would likely succeed.
Leon, appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush, issued a preliminary injunction against the program but suspended the order to allow an appeal by the Justice Department, which said it was reviewing the decision. (more…)
If Dick Cheney was Darth Vader what exactly is President Barack Obama?
Fourteen people in a wedding party were accidentally killed last week by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen. The U.S.-based Human Rights Watch reported in October that at least 57 civilians have been accidentally killed by missiles fired from the unmanned aircraft. In May of 2012 the New York Times reported that President Obama personally approves of every single strike that takes place in Yemen.

“Every week or so, more than 100 members of the government’s sprawling national security apparatus gather, by secure video teleconference, to pore over terrorist suspects’ biographies and recommend to the president who should be the next to die. This secret “nominations” process is an invention of the Obama administration, a grim debating society that vets the PowerPoint slides bearing the names, aliases and life stories of suspected members of Al Qaeda’s branch in Yemen.” (link)
