I am so angry, I can barely type.  The only reason Harry Reid changed the rules today is because the Democrats are constructing a second term bailout of President Obama, while solidifying his legacy.  This maneuver today will effect generations.

It cannot be emphasized enough how TODAY, November 21st – 2013, will go down in history as the single most definitive day when your life changed.    The entire construct of the balance of constitutional checks and balances has been tipped.   THIS IS ABSOLUTE TYRANNY ! 
Obama/Reid have previously presented the most radical judicial nominees to federal courts all over the nation.    They have been blocked by the lack of minority consent – that is the intention of the Senate.    This is not a change to “filibuster” per se’, the use of that term is just obfuscation to make what has been done seem unimportant or technical.   What Obama/Reid are doing is blocking, avoiding, ignoring the concept of “minority consent”.   The concept of “minority consent” allows a minority to protect themselves from the tyranny of the majority.
Obama/Reid have just destroyed the essential framework of freedom and liberty protection that was cemented into the building blocks of our government by Thomas Jefferson.
President Obama will put the most radical of the federal judicial appointments on the DC 5th circuit.
The DC 5th district court of appeals hears most of the cases surrounding constitutional issues and challenges against legislation stemming from Washington DC.
What Obama / Reid are doing is insuring those legal cases/challenges can be squashed before they reach the Supreme Court.   This cements the ability of unconstitutional legislative bricks to set and destroy individual liberty and individual freedom.
Today, EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE CHANGED – You just haven’t noticed yet. (more…)

Rut Roh.   More exposure for Dems behaving badly, very badly.  In this latest case a  Director of Obamacare Navigators is exposed admitting his intent to collect personal data for use in establishing files or lists of enrollee information for political purposes.

Think about this quietly for a moment:

Kathleen Sebelius announces HHS will *spend* $7,000,000,000.00 (that’s Billion) to develop ideas to *save* money under Obamacare.

Spend $7 Billion to save what exactly? A couple of billion, maybe?
Only in the land of the progressives !
WASHINGTON DC – The Department of Health and Human Services revealed on Wednesday a plan to spend up to $7 billion to find ways to reduce spending under the Affordable Care Act while maintaining or improving the quality of health care. The solicitation for bids for this wide-ranging project appeared today on the Federal Business Opportunities website: (more…)

Perhaps Rick Santelli is the modern architect of the Fiscal Tea Party.  It was his epic rant on TV, around the stimulus and bailout bills, which visibly gave birth to a righteous awakening of people who realized he was expressing their very concerns.
A year ago, like many others – including us, Santelli smelled something afoot with the strange employment numbers just prior to the election.   He was attacked mercilessly by the left and the right who labeled him an “unemployment truther”.   Yesterday, given the revelation the Census Dept. was actually fudging the figures, Santelli framed his righteous vindication.

To be fair –  President Obama only said the website would be fixed by the end of November.  He never actually said *which* November.  So now they say this:

Meanwhile his approval ratings have dropped again. Now 37%

There is a semi-big kerfuffle about President Obama reciting the Gettysburg address for a PBS special, and yet in the Obama version he left out the “under God” phrase from the …”that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom“….  part.

White House spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday gave a simple explanation for the reading.

“He [Obama] read the version of the address that Ken Burns provided,” he said, noting that Burns is a “noted Civil War scholar.”  (link)

Only there’s something weird about that Carney explanation.   Something that totally does not make sense. (more…)

This is an update to the original story:

[Excerpt from National Review]  […]  On October 17, the Obama Department of Health and Human Services, represented by the Obama Justice Department, submitted a brief to the federal district court in Washington, opposing Priests for Life’s summary judgment motion. On page 27 of its brief, the Justice Department makes the following remarkable assertion:

The [ACA’s] grandfathering provision’s incremental transition does not undermine the government’s interests in a significant way. [Citing, among other sources, the Federal Register.] Even under the grandfathering provision, it is projected that more group health plans will transition to the requirements under the regulations as time goes on. Defendants have estimated that a majority of group health plans will have lost their grandfather status by the end of 2013. (more…)

Of all the narrative collapses which could possibly have occurred, this has to be the most devastating.   Jessica Sanford reflects the ACTUAL REALITY of ObamaCare and President Obama used her example as advocacy.  WoW !   If the mainstream media picks up this story Obamacare might just collapse from the publicity.

Instead of $169/month as she thought, and President Obama claimed, her actual Obamacare premium cost is $621/month.   Even higher than her pre-Obamacare quotes from private insurance companies:

WASHINGTON – Jessica Sanford, the Federal Way woman who got a shout-out from President Obama last month with her fan letter for the Affordable Care Act, got a rather rude awakening last week.   Turns out she doesn’t qualify for a tax credit after all.
At least that’s what the letter said that she got from the state. Now she says her dream of affordable health insurance has gone poof. She can’t afford it. She’ll have to go without. “I’m really terribly embarrassed,” she says. “It has completely turned around on me. I mean, completely.”
Chalk it up to a bollixed-up state website that apparently still has major problems. Originally it said Sanford and her child would get a whopping tax credit that would reduce their total premium to $169 a month. Now the state is telling her it goofed – twice – and she has to pay full ticket. (more…)
