DETROIT — The city of Detroit officially became the largest municipality in U.S. history Tuesday to enter Chapter 9 bankruptcy after a judge declared it met the specific legal criteria required to receive protection from its creditors.

The landmark ruling ends more than four months of uncertainty over the fate of the case and sets the stage for a fierce clash over how to slash an estimated $18 billion in debt and long-term liabilities that have hampered Detroit from attacking pervasive blight and violent crime. (more…)

Surprising article from the liberal Washington Post. It is definitely Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett’s #1 job to figure out how to avoid the dropped coverage healthcare explosion set to go off just before the election of 2014.
(Washington Post) Democrats are praying that this weekend’s relaunch of the Obamacare Web site will save them from an electoral bloodbath in 2014. Their hopes are misplaced. Here are five numbers that suggest that public anger over Obamacare will only grow as Election Day 2014 approaches:
5.5 million. That is how many people the administration needs to sign up in just 23 days because Obamacare drove them out of their health-care plans. That’s some 240,000 sign-ups every single day, just to break even.
Getting that many enrolled in a few weeks would be extraordinarily difficult even if the Web site were working perfectly, which it isn’t. According to the New York Times, the system is still sending insurers inaccurate or incomplete information, and the companies are being “deluged with phone calls from people who believe they have signed up for a particular health plan, only to find that the company has no record of the enrollment.” (more…)

Before getting to the substance of the example highlighted in the headline.   Please allow me to give you a “set up” for context.
The political coalition, behind the party, that supports Senator Elizabeth Warren has very specific intents and purposes behind what they do.
•One relative example might be putting a CNN documentary together to harvest emotions about Killer Whales in captivity.   •Another actual real life example is a social media campaign which says to young girls if you don’t take a picture of yourself kissing a black boy, then post it to your social media, then you are a racist.    •A third real example is the GBF (Gay Best Friend) strategy to streamline the acceptances of homosexuality, Gay becomes ‘cool’.   The regender campaign is also embedded in the bullying campaign and Boys in the Girl Scouts gender transferring.
The term to explain what’s being strategically done, spawned from the Warren-minded twenty-something individuals, is “Moral Relativism”. (more…)

What do you think about the effectiveness of this commercial airing in contested congressional districts.    The commercial was produced by AFP (Koch Bros).

Do you think it is effective ?

Politico is floating a story that Bashir has been “suspended”.   Horse-pucky! Bashir will be back, he insulted Sarah Palin with extreme vulgarity and horrific disparagements.  That type of behavior is always rewarded, albeit behind closed doors.   His producers and his segment approvers put him on the fast track to a prime-time hosting slot, new company car and all the liberal perks a pontificating progressive  could earn.
(Via Politico)  Martin Bashir, the MSNBC host who has come under fire for the controversial remarks he made about Sarah Palin, is “on vacation” and will not host his namesake afternoon program on Monday, POLITICO has learned.

Sources at the network said Bashir had been temporarily suspended from the network following graphic remarks he made last month about the former governor from Alaska. In that segment, Bashir suggested that Palin should be forced to endure slavery like conditions, including the consumption of feces. (more…)

The hypocrisy of the Democrat party really is boundless as this recent example personifies:
New Hampshire Democrats were quick to attack Republican State Representative Marilinda Garcia once she made her intention to seek the her party’s nomination for the second congressional district seat official. Garcia announced her candidacy via a press release on Monday morning; she joins former Republican State Senator Gary Lambert in the race to take on Democratic Congresswoman Anne Kuster.
Within moments of her announcement, prominent Democratic State Rep. Peter Sullivan attacked Garcia on Twitter using sexist language and imagery. Sullivan compared the three-term State Representative, who holds a Master’s degree from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, to reality television celebrity Kim Kardashian. He went on to refer to her as “[Republican State Rep.] Al Baldasarro [sic] in stiletto heels” and “a lightweight.”
Throughout the 2012 and 2013 election cycles, national Democrats launched repeated attacks accusing Republicans of using rhetoric they claimed was demeaning to women.
Sullivan’s tweets are below: (more…)

…. “Watch the employers, because if they start dumping people into Medicare and into Medicaid, and the doctors then say, ‘The burdens are too high, and the reimbursement is too low, we’re not seeing Medicaid patients,’ then all hell is going to break loose”…

Gee, ya think the “Senior Officials in the white house”… might be referring to DENIS MCDONOUGH / VALERIE JARRETT / SAMANTHA POWERS ? I mean that “desperate and weak” line is classic McDonough.
Remember too, Samantha Power, as U.N. Ambassador, is a cabinet level position in the Obama administration – and she hates Israel perhaps even more than ValJar.   Oh that Trifecta-of-Hate crew is going to be all kinds of defrosted if Netanyahu pokes back. You better believe it.    How dare a jew point fingers back at our Dear Leader.
The duo of McDonough and Jarrett are counting on this Iran deal to distract people from noticing their doctor has locked his/her door.   This White House will not allow themselves to be undermined – and absolutely not by Netanyahu.   This is a deal you cannot refuse.
WASHINGTON DC – Senior officials in the White House have said that Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is desperate and weak,” in reaction to Netanyahu’s remonstrations against the deal struck with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.
Israeli television Channel 10quoted the officials as saying “His pronouncements show a lack of self-confidence,” in an unusually harsh personal attack on Netanyahu. “We are not perturbed by his vocal opposition.” (more…)
