Suppose you don’t like dogs too much and your boss walks up to you and says: “hey, about that raise you requested…. I’m going to be considering it this weekend during my golf trip to Florida and I need someone to watch my dog – will you look after him while I’m away” ?   Would you feel pressure to do it ?

It seems like Ms. Sebelius announced her resignation just before this GAO report surfaced. Hmmm, curiosor and curiosor….
WASHINGTON DC – Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius maneuvered one of America’s richest liberal philanthropies into contributing $13 million to Enroll America, a group founded by a former Obama White House staffer to drive up insurance enrollment numbers under the Affordable Care Act.
A report issued Monday by the Government Accountability Office shows what Republican members of Congress ave anticipated learning since 2013: that Sebelius called a total of five organizations a year ago and urged them to help Enroll America reach its goals.
One call went to the CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which made $3 million and $10 grants to the group after hearing her request. That amount was a dramatic increase from the $150,000 it had contributed the previous year.

Remember all of those ideological folks who say the “knock out assault/game” is a myth?   Here’s the consequence to not accepting the reality of what exists:

Joseph McRae was arrested for randomly striking/punching white women in the face at Penn Station…. for no apparent reason.    Sound familiar ?  It should.
But in the New York criminal justice system the cultural social engineers have been denying the “knock out” assaults exist.   Some New York police departments identify the random ‘punch in the face attacks’ as general “harassment”; as if its possible to define punching someone in the head in a similar vein to cat calls. 
So this ideology sets up the backdrop for sending a 24-year-old white woman -the identical disposition of prior victims- alone, into a confined space with an unstable male who has been arrested for the crime they refuse to recognize.      ‘Nothing to fear, just go on in miss“:

The White House will be calling NBC today.
Apparently the PC way of saying Obama is a wimp is to state that President Obama “has a manhood problem”:

Last December during a town hall meeting hosted by Al Sharpton and the National Action Network in Chicago to address gun violence something unexpected happened.
The audience almost exploded into a revolt against: “Chicago Machine” politics, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a black alderman in City Hall.   The surprise came with a panel and audience members calling to actually vote out their elected officials.
One 82-year-old preacher even called for “Tea Party” style meetings in some of Chicago’s south side communities such as Altgen Gardens and Trumbull Park. (via Breitbart)

The case of the Kansas City Shooter provides an excellent example of Political Correctness running amuck.
The ideological left proclaim the religious/political ideology of Mohammed Whitaker is unknown because his birth name was Pedro Whitaker, and he is Hispanic.   They proclaim the fact he changed his name to Mohammed is not evidence of his conversion to Islam.

The fact that Pedro changes his name to Mohammed after some self-discovery event in his life is apparently something we are supposed to look upon with caution.   And we must absolutely not infer the fact he shot people in cars around Kansas City over the course of several weeks to label him as a danger.
But immediately Harry Reid knew some other guy, Clive Bundy, a rancher, was a “domestic terrorist”.

You walk into Obama’s Produce Store and you are met with a paradigm shift.

In ObamaMart no-one is allowed to use their individual determinations of value to afford their selections.

Prior to today you would browse the selections of fruits and vegetables picking them up, feeling them, looking closely and using all of your senses to determine what you would select.
You need some tomatoes for tonight’s salad, and you also need a few for making the sandwiches over the next three days.    Consequently you select two ripe tomatoes for today and two less ripe to use in the upcoming week.  They will ripen on your kitchen counter and present a differing value tomorrow and the next day.
Despite their equality in presentation, perhaps not all tomatoes are created equal; or at the very least today they do not present themselves of equal value to you.   There are other determinants, hence you evaluate each independently based on your need.
You selected bananas, apples, pears, peaches, plums and stone fruit in much the same way.

Many people had wondered why the Kansas City Shooter did not get as much attention as the DC Snipers John Allen Mohammed and Lee Boyd Malvo.   Yeah, hmmm.. why was that. 

GRANDVIEW, Mo. — Police arrested a suspect Thursday in a string of random vehicle shootings on Kansas City-area highways over the past few weeks that have wounded three motorists and frightened many more.

Police Chief Darryl Forte said at a news conference that the suspect is male and lives in Grandview, a suburb south of the city that is home to the Grandview Triangle, where several highways intersect and where at least six of the reported shootings happened.

The U.S. Media is so slanted to a love affair with progressives, it’s beyond ridiculous….

(Newsbusters)  According to the liberal network journalists, being part of a Democratic family makes you “royalty.” Reporters on ABC, CBS and NBC gushed over the announcement that Chelsea Clinton is pregnant. Good Morning America’s Bianna Golodryga enthused:

“Move over, Prince George, though. This morning, Americans have their own royal, or, rather, presidential baby, to look forward to.”

(Via Moonbattery) For the liberal agenda to succeed, individual conscience must be eliminated, so that only the State and its affiliates determine what is right and wrong. That won’t happen so long as Christianity exists in a meaningful form.
Unfortunately for our liberal rulers, they do not yet have the political leverage to repeal the First Amendment, which explicitly prohibits restrictions on the free exercise of religion.
No worries; they simply twist the establishment clause of this same amendment to mean there can be no Christianity where there is government. In a country where government has bloated to the point of crowding out almost everything that is not coercion-based, that is virtually the same as a ban.
For example, colleges are heavily subsidized by the government; therefore, Christianity can be purged from college football teams. (more…)

REMEMBER THE BIGGER BROTHER? – If we had unlimited resources I would love to put a research team together to research all of the information data-mining that’s currently going on.   After some research on my own I was astounded to read the “business models” of quasi-private businesses who are currently engaged in analysis for the legality of various information sharing concepts with governmental agencies.
It looks like THIS
APLR collections and various registration/information hubs are evolving rapidly and there is no currently proposed legislation to allow people to “opt out”.   I’m not even sure if there ever will be a technological way to opt out.
WASHINGTON DC – As if many Americans needed another reason to dislike the post office, word now comes that it wants to begin mining and selling private data gathered from the personal mail of Americans.
USPS chief marketing and sales officer Nagisa Manabe recently told the PostalVision 2020 conference that the post office is “actively looking for ways to build new business lines around what not long ago might have been considered science fiction.”
