I was initially pleased when President Trump signed an executive order on day one of his administration, ordering executive agencies to soften enforcement of regulations and that no penalties, taxes, or fines be imposed by the IRS on anyone not in compliance with the individual mandate in Obamacare. His reasoning is that by the time April 15 arrives, the IRS would no longer have the authority to impose penalties, taxes, or fines because the individual mandate will no longer exist.
Andrew Napolitano says Trump’s executive order is “a truly revolutionary act, the likes of which I have never seen in the 45 years I have studied and monitored the government’s laws and its administration of them.”
He spelled out the reasoning very well, stating facts about Obamacare that have been known ever since 2010 when the Democrats rammed it through Congress without a single Republican supporting it.
“Trump argued that the government cannot compel commercial activity, even as part of […] → Keep reading

I saw an article recently that described two different types of left – evil and stupid – and said that all leftists fall into one of those two categories. I’m of the opinion there is a third type – bleeding heart. While the evil left has sinister and secret motives for what they do and the stupid blindly believe whatever lies they are told, the bleeding hearts know the truth, or at least most of it, but support leftist ideals anyway because they believe it’s governments job to ‘help’ people. While these three types of leftists have differing reasons for the mutual things they support, they work together in harmony against their common enemies – conservatives, freedom, capitalism and the liberty on which our country was founded.
The evil left knows Obamacare is designed to destroy the health care insurance industry and bring about single-payer, giving government total control over the country’s health care. The stupid left believes the lies […] → Keep reading

The dictionary defines tyranny as an “oppressive power” or “a government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler.” It’s never been easier than today to make the case that we are living under tyranny. Barack Obama and his thugs have used the Executive Branch to launch assaults on the American people and the rule of law. They have attacked almost every one of the Bill of Rights and Obama has essentially declared himself an American potentate who answers to no one. He has his pen and his phone and he needs no one else. Earlier this month Obama gave us just one more example of this when the administration announced the employer mandate in Obamacare would be delayed until 2016. This is, of course, an attempt to stave off more anger about Obamacare until after the midterm elections this fall. But under what authority does Obama arbitrarily decide to delay implementing legislation duly passed by Congress and […] → Keep reading

The more I read about the Obamacare website the more it becomes clear that it is a wealth of information for identity thieves. U.S. health officials deny this, of course, but from what I’ve read they don’t even know for sure who is writing the software for the website. In June 2013, the director of High Technology Park in Minsk, Belarus, Valery Tsepkalo, told Radio Russia that “one of our clients is the health ministry of the United States – we are being paid to help Obama with the healthcare reform.” Since the U.S. health officials apparently don’t know who is writing the software they launched a probe to find out if Tsepkalo’s statement was true. The report on the probe was issued earlier this month and found no evidence of the claim being true. Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for Obama’s National Security Council, said investigators for the Department of Health and Human Services found “no indications that any software was […] → Keep reading

If things went as they should, President Obama’s State of the Union address to the nation this evening would be just a bit different than what he plans to say:
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, fellow citizens.
Tonight, I come before you to outline the reasons why the state of our union is poor. Very poor. I place blame on no one but myself. My policies have destroyed our economy, made unemployment skyrocket and raised our national debt by more than fifty percent.
For more than a year now I have lied to you about the events that transpired at our embassy in Benghazi. I knew within two hours that it was a terrorist attack but I ordered our military to stand down and, as a result, our ambassador and three other Americans were brutally murdered. I knew if the truth was known about my failure to act that it would severely harm my reelection so I […] → Keep reading

If you’ve had an email account for more than a week you’ve probably received an email claiming to be from a lawyer, minister, widow or other such person who asks in broken English for your assistance in getting a sum of money, usually in the millions of dollars, out of their country before it is seized by the government. For your help you will receive ten percent of said funds. All this anonymous person needs to complete the transaction is your full name, date of birth and bank account information. In reality, all you receive for your trouble is an empty bank account. Countless people have let their greed and stupidity make them victims of these scams, known as a Nigerian 419. While this type of scam is not limited to Nigeria, that country is where the scam supposedly originated and it has a reputation for being the center of email scams. The article of the Nigerian Criminal Code dealing […] → Keep reading

I hesitated before writing about this, but I decided I would post it and not try to sugar coat it at all. The folks at the Thanks Obamacare campaign have put together a website to provide information on Obamacare. It’s a Colorado website created by the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative and Progress Now Colorado Education. The name of the website is DoYouGotInsurance.com. You read that right; it says ‘do you got;’ not ‘do you have.’ But were they to leave it at that their website probably wouldn’t be getting so much attention. In addition to the atrocious grammar they’ve also created an ad campaign showing different people with different reasons to have health insurance. The ad below is one of them. The creators of this ad; the promoters of Obamacare; are not even being subtle about telling women to get their insurance, get their birth control and go be sluts. Apparently, Sandra Fluke is the left’s ideal woman. Be a […] → Keep reading

Steven Hayward, political science professor at the University of Colorado, has written a piece for Forbes in which he predicts that Obamacare will be repealed well in advance of the 2014 elections. Hayward says the talk about the website failure is a distraction from the real issue of people and businesses losing their health plans or having to pay a lot more for them. Who he is predicting to lead the charge on repeal is surprising.
Senate Democrats endangered for re-election will lead the charge for repeal perhaps as soon as January, after they get an earful over the Christmas break. They’ll call it “reform,” and clothe it in calls for delaying the individual mandate and allowing people and businesses to keep their existing health insurance policies. But it is probably too late to go back in many cases. With the political damage guaranteed to continue, the momentum toward repeal will be unstoppable. Democrats will not want to face […] → Keep reading

“First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.”
That was Barack Obama at a campaign rally on July 16, 2009, repeating the same thing he’d said many other times at many other events.
Lies.
But, in spite of the fact that hundreds of thousands of people all over the country are now receiving letters telling them their plans are being cancelled, the Democrats are maintaining the position that the lie told countless times is still the truth. How stupid do they think we are?
Joseph Goebbels, oops, I mean Jay Carney has tried to spin it by saying that it was the insurance companies who were cancelling the plans, not the government. How stupid do they think we are?
Henry J. Aaron, an economist and health care ‘expert’ at the Brookings Institution, is […] → Keep reading

The State of Hawaii is about to put their churches in an untenable position. The State Senate’s Judiciary and Labor Committee has just approved a bill to be voted on by the full Senate that would make same-sex marriage legal in Hawaii. With only one Republican in the Senate, the bill is expected to be easily passed and sent to the House for consideration. Governor Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat who is up for reelection next year, is the driving force behind this and even called a special session to specifically deal with gay marriage. He said that a special session allows legislators to “focus squarely on this important issue, without having to divert attention to the hundreds of other bills introduced during a regular session.” The Governor claims to have one more vote than is needed for the bill to be passed in the House. He hopes to have same-sex weddings in the state beginning next month.
The moment this […] → Keep reading
