2.5 Million Full Time Equivalent Jobs = 100 million hours of productivity removed from the economy.  

EVERY WEEK. 

As a consequence, @ $15/hr, that’s a $1.5 billion removal of positive production value from the economy and replaced with $1.5 billion dependency entitlement under the guise of a subsidy.  EVERY WEEK.

In very direct essence – This shifts $1.5 billion in additional taxation to the remaining productive class every week.   Or $78,000,000,000.00 ($78 Billion) per year. 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama’s healthcare law will reduce American workforce participation by the equivalent of 2 million full-time jobs in 2017, the Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday in a report that could fuel Republican efforts to paint the law as a job killer.

In its latest U.S. fiscal outlook, the nonpartisan CBO said the health law would prompt some lower-income workers to limit their hours to avoid losing federal subsidies that are available under the law to help pay for health insurance.

The CBO said the biggest impact on work hours from the health law would begin in 2017 because major provisions of the law will be well under way by then. The CBO said there would be smaller declines in work hours that would occur before then.

Work hours would be reduced by the equivalent of 2.5 million jobs in 2024, the agency said. (more…)

….. unless the Tea Party gets it’s ‘hold-your-nose-and-vote-for-the-other-guy-act’ together.  QUICKLY.

Charlie is slicker than gorilla snot.   His entire previously constructed Republican persona was a political ruse to deflect attention away from his homosexuality. (more…)

If you know even a cursory history of this creepy man – you know he has no concept of decency or boundaries in relationships.

At 43 he was dating a 17-year-old and began a sexual relationship.    In his fifties he became attracted to his 13-year-old step-daughter.   When the step-daughter turned 19 he dumped mom and married his step-daughter.   This alone is NOT ok.   Period.  It’s more than a little damned creepy, it’s perverse.

Now, as time has moved along, the other little girl (step-daughter #2) says when she was seven, creepy step-daddy was molesting her.

Yeah, sorry but I believe Dylan Farrow – Not the creepy touchy “daddy wants to marry me, mommy” guy.

*Note* Except for a legal marriage contract – Woody Allen has fathered his own grandchildren.  Think about it.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Coincidentally, John Brennan was CIA station chief in Pakistan (along with Zbigniew Brzezinski – pictured below)  while we were supporting the Mujahedeen against the Russian communists.  At the same time (summer 1981) college student Barack Obama and his pals, Mohammed Hasan Chandio, Wahid Hamid and Vinai Thummalapally travelled there.

The 1981 trip to Pakistan was unexpectedly noted in an April 2008 fundraiser .  We wrote about it HERE.

Just two weeks before this speech and surprise announcement of his 1981 visit to Pakistan, employees of John Brennan  (who would become Obama’s terror chief) were caught tampering with Obama’s passport files.

Coincidentally, it should be noted  that “Obama’s top terrorism and intelligence adviser, John O. Brennan, heads a firm that was cited in March 2008 (just before this April fundraiser) for breaching sensitive files in the State Department’s passport office, according to a State Department Inspector General’s report released July 2009. 

Coincidentally, On April 19th, 2009 the key figure Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found slumped dead inside a car.

Coincidentally, the “mystery Columbia Obama thesis”, was about, wait for it,…..  ”an analysis of the evolution of the arms reduction negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States“.   Oh boy, who would have been around to write such a specific thesis paper for cover?   It certainly is in the proverbial sweet spot for Brzezinski, no?

So today – CIA director John Brennan told a congressional hearing Tuesday (TODAY – 2014) that security operators involved in Benghazi rescue efforts were required to re-sign non-disclosure agreements because the documents were being updated.

Brennan was pressed by Rep. Devin Nunes, R.-Calif., of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence about the 2012 Benghazi attack and why the security operators who were involved in rescue efforts that night were asked to re-sign their non-disclosure agreements. (more…)

Just a general poll to gauge your opinion.

If you had to pick between two goals which “ONE” would you see as more important to you:   Seeing Mitch McConnell defeated in the Kentucky primary race (May 2014), or Exposing the truth behind the Benghazi terrorist attack and subsequent White House cover-up?

If you were Obama’s “fixer”, Denis McDonough on September 12 2012, the first steps to constructing a firewall around the oval office for Sept 11th (Benghazi) would first be to place friendly constructionists into key narrative controlling positions.

As you read this presentation from The Washington Free Beacon – think about the timeline for CIA Director Mike Morell against the backdrop of his ‘then boss’ General David Petraeus; then think about Eric Holder having the FBI file on Petraeus’s affair on his desk.

Then think back to McDonough’s job…..  what would Denis need to do?

Former CIA Director Mike Morell may have altered the Benghazi talking points to benefit the Obama administration during the 2012 election, Catherine Herridge of Fox News reports.

On September 15 one day before Susan Rice made her infamous appearances on various Sunday shows, according to the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report Morell received an email from the CIA station chief in Libya indicating the Benghazi attacks were “not/not an escalation of protests.” The report does not indicate when Morell read the email, but that same day Morell cut the word “Islamic” from the talking points and left the word “demonstration.” (more…)

NO, actually having a Supreme Court Justice who cannot apply the term “illegal” to unlawful criminal behavior is what I would consider insulting.

Remember, this is one of the Supreme Court Justices. 

As in – a co-equal branch of government whose very charter is “interpreting” laws, and legal definitions therein.   Legal definitions are then used to frame judicial opinion toward the constitutional authority of the law to stand.  

In a very specific sense all the Supremes do is interpret law 24/7/365 and apply opinion toward definitions contained within the words.

CBS – […]   On the Supreme Court since 2009, Sotomayor said it was tough at first as justices made references that went over her head. She said joining the high court amounted to joining an ongoing conversation among justices who had served for years.

“I figure I may not be the smartest judge on the court but I’m going to be a competent justice,” she said. “I’m going to try to be the best I can and each year I think my opinions have been getting better. And I’m working at finding my voice a little bit.”

Sotomayor was asked at a talk at Yale Law School later in the day about her use of the term “undocumented immigrants” rather than the traditional illegal alien. Sotomayor characterized the issue as a regulatory problem and said labeling immigrants criminals seemed insulting to her. (more…)

Abortion Barbie apparently has a propensity toward letting other people pay for her housing and lifestyle choices.     First indulged by her parents, then came her husband(s), followed by campaign donors and now she wants taxpayers to do it….  

When you think about it, she’s the exact opposite of everything her campaign story claimed she was.

TEXAS – Embattled Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis has spent more than $131,000 in campaign funds to pay for luxury apartments in Austin, Texas, since her election to the Texas State Senate in 2008, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

While such use of campaign funds islegal in Texas, the amounts involved and properties rented may undermine Davis’s campaign persona of a working class single mom, observers tell the Free Beacon.

Davis, whose permanent address is in Fort Worth, lists government accountability as a primary issue on her campaign website, which says she opposes elected officials who “have turned state agencies and programs into their own personal piggy bank, granting favors to their friends, rewarding donors, and furthering their own interests.” (more…)
