Dana Loesch identified another one of the unhinged union goons who was tearing down the AFP tent. His name is Chris Opalewski. (seen here from the video)
But Mr. Opalewski apparently has an affection for another, well, more faaabulous series of less taxing endeavors. (see here)
I just can’t stand the insufferable hypocrisy from these people – There is not enough Tar and Feathers……
WASHINGTON DC – Sixteen Democratic senators who voted for the Affordable Care Act are asking that one of its fundraising mechanisms, a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices scheduled to take effect January 1, be delayed. Echoing arguments made by Republicans against Obamacare, the Democratic senators say the levy will cost jobs — in a statement Monday, Sen. Al Franken called it a “job-killing tax” — and also impair American competitiveness in the medical device field.
The senators, who made the request in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, are Franken, Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer, Patty Murray, John Kerry, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, Joseph Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Robert Casey, Debbie Stabenow, Barbara Mikulski, Kay Hagan, Herb Kohl, Jeanne Shaheen, and Richard Blumenthal. All voted for Obamacare. (more…)
I doubt you could find a more apropos example of hypocrisy than comparing the media coverage of the leftist union behavior in Michigan against the ever-false media claims of violence from the Conservative Tea Party which remains mythical and non-existent…..
[Stella Writes] In November there were two union-backed initiatives to change the Michigan Constitution; both failed. One would have given unions the constitutional right to collective bargaining in our state, which meant that “right to work” could not be passed here. The unions spent millions, but lost.
Our governor [Snyder] has, in the past, said that “right to work” wasn’t a priority for him, and he felt that it was divisive. Because of the ballot initiatives backed by the unions, he has seen that they will do everything possible to push forward the power of unions, so he changed his mind on backing RTW, and today signed legislation passed by the Michigan senate and house.
(Via CNN) On Tuesday evening. Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, signed the legislation, which allows workers at union-represented employers to forgo paying dues.
Thousands of people, many of them union workers, gathered outside the statehouse, chanting and holding signs as snow fell.At least three school districts were closed as teachers traveled to Lansing to protest.
There are 23 states which have right-to-work laws, mostly in the South and western plains states, where union membership is relatively weak. Nationwide, union membership stands at 11.8%. (more…)
Uber-Progressive Oregon. A woman was held at gunpoint by two seven and eleven year old boys. They held the woman at gunpoint and demanded her phone and cash. She fled in her truck and the police were on scene quickly to arrest the two boys. When found one of the boys had a loaded handgun fully cocked in his pocket. However, by law the police had to let the boys go – they cannot arrest anyone under the age of twelve.
OREGON – A Portland woman says she was scared for her life when an 11-year-old boy and a 7-year-old boy pointed a gun at her and demanded her truck, her phone and her money.
It happened at about noon on Saturday in the parking lot of the Freedom Foursquare Church at 16000 SE Alder St. Amy Garrett, 22, said she was sitting in her truck, waiting for her parents who were inside the church, when a 7-year-old boy and 11-year-old boy walked up to her.
Garrett said the boys demanded her truck and the 7-year-old told the older boy to “show her your piece.” She said the older boy lifted up his shirt and flashed a handgun. (more…)
Well here’s another one – Obamacare Pre-Existing Condition Fee To Cost Companies $63 Per Person – Your medical plan is facing an unexpected expense, so you probably are, too. It’s a new, $63-per-head fee to cushion the cost of covering people with pre-existing conditions under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.
The charge, buried in a recent regulation, works out to tens of millions of dollars for the largest companies, employers say. Most of that is likely to be passed on to workers.
Employee benefits lawyer Chantel Sheaks calls it a “sleeper issue” with significant financial consequences, particularly for large employers.
“Especially at a time when we are facing economic uncertainty, (companies will) be hit with a multi-million dollar assessment without getting anything back for it,” said Sheaks, a principal at Buck Consultants, a Xerox subsidiary.
Based on figures provided in the regulation, employer and individual health plans covering an estimated 190 million Americans could owe the per-person fee. (more…)
Now this story has a common, yet underreported twist. It begins with three women, Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig, together with at least two children (discount trainees) shoplifting at a local Wal Mart store.
Now, this was not their first 10 finger discount rodeo. Earlier this year, Ms. Shelly Frey (pictured in purple – yet not at the Willy Wonka parade) plead guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat from another Walmart and agreed to never enter any WalMart as part of her plea arrangement.
However, the lure of WalMart’s steep unadvertised discounts was too much for Ms. Frey to withstand, and with the allure of holiday shopping all around, she succumbed to the aforementioned free stuff process.
So off to the WalMarts they head, big empty purses at the ready. Only this time an off-duty police officer (Po-Po as in cop) named Mr. Campbell was working Part-Time as store security and he carried his service revolver. It was clear to everyone that the deputy was law enforcement.
“He was clearly marked in uniform as a Harris County deputy. And identified himself as the suspects were leaving the establishment,” [Police Spokesperon – Gilliland].
When Shelly, Tisa, and Yolanda were spotted stuffing their purses Mr. Campbell was notified. The three amigos bolted out of the store, one whacking Mr. Campbell with her purse as they, made their escape. Campbell followed. The three shoppers jumped in a car with at least two kids and attempted to make a getaway. Somehow Mr. Campbell accidentally shot Ms. Shelly “Free Shirts and Meat” Frey, in the neck, during the escape. She died at an apartment complex a little while later.
You might at this point be saying: “Hello !!…. Crump, Sharpton, Jackson must be en-route” in this story somewhere right? Alas, you are mistaken. Why? (more…)
Four current motions appear in preparation for Tomorrow’s hearing in the George Zimmerman case. Two responses from the State in response to defense filings, and two replies from the defense pertaining to those responses:
First the initial response from the State : States Response to Defendant Motion For Third Party Disclosures/Evidence – This in essence is the States reply to Zimmerman’s request for information about the Benjamin Crump interviews with DeeDee (Witness 8) and his possession of the recordings therein.
Bottom line – The State is “now” complying with previous request.
The reply from the defense team: Mr. Zimmerman Reply to Compel therewit – This in essence is the defense team saying nothing is actually complied with until they are in possession of the full un-edited version provided to the State along with the accompanying documented Chain of Custody.
Bottom Line – Not only does the defense want the information, but the documentation to review the timeline and handling of the original request. (more…)
Additionally I just want to clear up one term I keep reading. (more…)
