ICESo now, Obama is not only going to ignore Congress, he is escalating to ignoring the courts:

Obama: ‘Consequences’ for ICE Officials Who Don’t Follow Executive Amnesty | The Weekly Standard.

Unless he wins an appeal on the injunction and/or wins on the legality of the executive order, he does not have a legal basis for his actions.

Physicians support proposed gun legislation – VTDigger.

I’m going to take a break from working on clinical validation of ECG systems and toss in my perspective here.  Since I’m wearing my clinical hat today, I’ll take it from that perspective.  Forgive me for speaking to him in his language…

First, you’re making a common clinical mistake. Continue reading

Rudy Giuliani explains why he stands by his Obama remarks | #RudyIsRight

Rudy Giuliani explains why he stands by his Obama remarks | Fox News Video.

NY Daily NewsTo answer the question of “who am I to judge Obama’s heart?” I answer that I am an American citizen who has the responsibility to vote.  That responsibility *obligates* me to judge the President’s heart where his love of country and patriotism is concerned.  And yes, unlike Rudy, I am judging his patriotism.

I base that judgement not on his words but on his actions and on his associations.  When I look at those, I have to determine that those are not the actions of someone who loves his country.  Those are not the friends and associates that someone who loves his country would keep as his inner circle of advisors.

In fact, I would determine that not only does President Obama not love this country, he actively hates America, its cultural principles and philosophical foundations.  Someone who loved his country would not invest his life in “fundamental change” of what makes America, America.

Democrats: We must better explain what it means to be a Dem – #tcot

Democrats: We must better explain what it means to be a Dem – AP News 2/21/2015 1:36 PM.

At one time, Democrats and Republicans agreed on where we were going.  The Great Debate was in how best to get there.  That is not true of the modern Democrat Party.

They have given away their heritage to Progressives.  While they may look alike on the surface, Progressive and a Liberal have very little in common.  In fact, Progressives have assume the veneer that allows them to pass as liberals in order to take over the party.  Frankly, I believe the same is happening in the Republican leadership; Progressives assuming a veneer that lets them say the right things but with very different real meanings.

To the point of this article, Democrats do not have to better explain anything.  People understand quite well what you are about.  THAT is the reason why we are rejecting you.  That is also the reason there is such a rebellion against the leadership in the Republican party.  This country is seeing a growing rejection of Progressivism.

If you are a Progressive in the United States, be on notice.  Your days are numbered.

L. Gordon Crovitz: From Internet to Obamanet – WSJ #tcot

L. Gordon Crovitz: From Internet to Obamanet – WSJ.

What you have to keep in mind here is that he mentions both critical impact areas of what he calls “Obamanet” (I like that phrase…)  The most important thing to take away is that these are regulations being passed to fix a problem that does not exist.

Everyone keeps focusing on the economics.   Yes, problems have threatened, but market pressures have prevented them from coming about.  Market forces have kept the internet working smoothly and more responsively than government could ever possibly do.  Yet this is not the real danger of the impending federal regulations.

The real danger of these regulations is Continue reading

Whistleblower believes HSBC still money-laundering

When life imitates art:

Whistleblower believes HSBC still money-laundering.

This sounds almost like a recent episode of The Blacklist.  Except for the lack of body count.  And James Spader, of course.  Though the latter might have something to do with the lack of bodies.  Unless there’s a real-life Mr. Kaplan…

“Tolerant Liberal” Lists 28 Reasons to Hate Conservatives – #tcot

“Tolerant Liberal” Lists 28 Reasons to Hate Conservatives – Michael Schaus – Townhall Finance.

This should be required reading for any conservative who engages progressives even on an occasional basis.  You should read it as much for Ms Willis’ thoughts as for Michael Shaus’ replies.

My big problem here is in Willis calling herself a “liberal.”  There is nothing liberal about her thought or goals.  This is pure progressivism.  This is one of the best examples why of I make such a distinction between liberals and progressives I have seen in a very long time. Continue reading

Wow!  It was what?  Only an hour ago that I posted about the FCC move being about controlling what is on the internet?  That sure didn’t take long.

Sometimes I really hate being right.
