A friend recently commented this regarding Donald Trump in another venue.
Politics is a repugnant endeavor…America and the world needs a president who will rule by decree like Obama, only in the other direction…
While I understand where he’s coming from, I have to disagree with him. The last thing this country needs is another President that will “rule” like Obama from either direction. The problem is not the President. The problem is not the Supreme Court. The problem is Continue reading
Officials said Marines and sailors tried to distract the gunman who assaulted a naval center, helped people scale a fence to reach safety and returned fire at the attacker.

So it seems that even the NYT is admitting that having an armed respondent to these terrorists does make a difference.
Under pressure from the NAACP, the state Democratic Party will scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.

People are missing the reason this is so incredibly important. Progressivism and the fundamental American culture are antithetical and completely incompatible. They understand this. The also understand the importance of history in maintaining a culture. They have seen the push-back to their efforts and are responding.
For European style Progressivism to have a hope in this country, Americans have to be separated from their history. This isn’t a move that will provide results now, but let there be a generation or two under this kind of mentality and there will be a real chance of success. This is a long game they are playing and they are not interested in compromise.
Before ObamaCare, it would have been difficult to find a health plan that combined a $6,000 deductible, extremely few in-network providers and sky-high premiums. Today, thanks to ObamaCare, it’s hard not to.

Should I say “I told you so?” I did. Back in 2008. Again in 2010. And if you want to be honest about it, back in 1993 when it was still called Hillarycare.
Most Americans would support imposing a term limit on the nine U.S. Supreme Court justices, who now serve for life, a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll has found in the aftermath of major rulings by the court on Obamacare and gay marriage.

The problem is not a need for term limits on SCOTUS. The problem is that Congress does not do ITS job in limiting SCOTUS. Not only do they have the power to impeach if they deem a judged goes outside their Constitutional authority, they also have the power to limit and regulate the Court.
Hard to believe. Or is it?
Planned Parenthood sells dead baby body parts
Really, how is this organization any better than Josef Mengele? Well, at least Planned Parenthood’s kills its kids before it cuts them up for experimentation. “Waste not?” as the saying goes…
All for the greater good, of course.
The truth is, if you read Margaret Sanger’s works, making this connection isn’t even a stretch. The only real difference is Mengele targeted Jews while Sanger targeted Blacks.
The controversial public security law comes into force on Wednesday amid fears that it will limit freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest.

I had warned that people need to keep an eye on Spain. Incredibly, I had missed this. Apparently, a big part of this is to stop the protest being brought on by the austerity movement in Spain.
That’s another word for “Spain is running out of other people’s money.”
She says everything that needs to be said:
‘Nothing to debate’: Second Amendment, legal gun in my purse saved our lives
The rest of us are not responsible for your insecure feelings.
The Green citizens have rolled the dice and voted overwhelmingly to reject the “austerity” referendum.

I was explaining some of this to my wife over the weekend. One of the news stories over the weekend was talking about 30% confiscation of deposits, unfortunately, I don’t have that reference.
The key nation to watch at this point is Spain. If it goes, watch for the domino effect. Another key to watch may be Puerto Rico, though the U.S. may absorb that crisis.

Illinois is facing at least a partial shutdown after lawmakers failed to pass a budget by a Tuesday-at-midnight deadline.

They are calling this temporary. Is there any way to make it permanent? I’m quite happy with the idea of getting Chicago’s hand out of my pocket. Perhaps it’s time to through some words back into their face:
“Elections have consequences.”
If Rauner is stopping them with a shutdown, he is still winning by my book.
