Best read of the year-----Henry Hazlitt on the fallacy of government stimulus
Henry Hazlitt on the fallacy of government stimulus | AEIdeas:"MP: It’s a simple, but frequently overlooked and irrefutable fact that the only way the federal government can “stimulate” (benefit) one group is to “de-stimulate” (tax) another group.
As Walter E. Williams explained in his syndicated newspaper column this week,
“The fact that Congress has no resources of its very own forces us to recognize that the only way Congress can give one American one dollar is to first — through intimidation, threats and coercion — confiscate that dollar from some other American through the tax code.” "

Senate Democrats voted unanimously three years ago to support the Obamacare rule that is largely responsible for some of the health insurance cancellation letters that are going out.
In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it.
On a party line vote, Democrats killed the resolution, which could come back to haunt vulnerable Democrats up for re-election this year.
Senate Democrats like Mary Landrieu, Jeanne Shaheen, Mark Pryor, Kay Hagan and Mark Begich – all of whom voted against stopping the rule from going into effect and have since supported delaying parts of Obamacare.
Expect to hear about this a lot."

The MSM expects us to forget these lies. We won't-----Flashback: Senate Democrats Echoed Obama's Insurance Promise
Flashback: Senate Democrats Echoed Obama's Insurance Promise:"Senate Democrats facing reelection in 2014 are scrambling to distance themselves from their prior promises that anyone who wants to keep their healthcare insurance can do so under Obamacare.
According to CBS News, over two million Americans have already received cancellation notices from their insurance companies due to Obamacare, despite President Barack Obama promising at least 23 times that Obamacare would not force anyone out of their current insurance plan.
Now, Senate Democrats up for reelection in 2014 who echoed similar promises are running for cover.
In 2009, Sen. Jeanne (D-NH) Shaheen said the following on the floor of the U.S. Senate: “One common myth that we’ve heard is that health reform is a government takeover of our healthcare system.
This is simply not true… Under the current legislation, everyone will have the freedom to keep their healthcare plan if they like it.” "

President Obama's weekly remarks
Hi, everybody. On Thursday, I addressed a conference for business leaders from around the world. And my pitch was simple: Choose America. Invest in America. Create jobs in America.
It speaks to my top priority as President: growing our economy, creating good jobs, strengthening security and opportunity for the middle class.
Over the past three and a half years, our businesses have created over seven and a half million new jobs. And this week, the Treasury confirmed that since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits by more than half.
But we have more work to do. We need to grow and create more good jobs faster. That’s my driving focus. And I’ll go anywhere and do anything to make it happen.
That has to be Washington’s driving focus as well. But I know that what you often hear out of Washington can sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher — a jumble of unfocused noise that’s out of touch with the things you care about.
So today, I want to cut through that noise and talk plainly about what we should do right now to keep growing this economy and creating new jobs.
It begins by ending what has done more than anything else to undermine our economy over the past few years — and that’s the constant cycle of manufactured crises and self-inflicted wounds.
I was glad to hear the Republican leader in the Senate say this week that they won’t pursue another government shutdown or threaten another default on our debt. Because we shouldn’t be injuring ourselves every few months — we should be investing in ourselves.
And one way to do that is through the budget that Congress started working on this week. Now, budgets can be a boring topic — especially on the weekend. But they can also be revealing. Because they expose what our priorities are as a country for all to see.
Think about it. We can keep wasteful corporate tax giveaways that working folks don’t get — or we could close those loopholes and use that money to pay for things that actually create jobs.
We can keep harmful cuts to education programs — or we could give more kids a head start, hire more teachers in math and science, and help more kids afford a college education.
We can keep doling out corporate welfare to big oil companies — or we could keep investing in the renewable energy that creates jobs and lowers our carbon pollution."
American's, Obama has 3 years remaining to achieve HIS vision. It doesn't look good--------Top generals: Obama is ‘purging the military’
Top generals: Obama is ‘purging the military’:"Retired Army Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin, who was with Delta Force and later Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence under President George W. Bush, says it is worrying that four-star generals are being retired at the rate that has occurred under Obama.
“Over the past three years, it is unprecedented for the number of four-star generals to be relieved of duty, and not necessarily relieved for cause,” Boykin said.
“I believe there is a purging of the military,” he said. “The problem is worse than we have ever seen.”"
Obama orders government to prepare for impact of global warming
Obama orders government to prepare for impact of global warming - Washington Times:
President Obama issued an executive order Friday directing a government-wide effort to boost preparation in states and local communities for the impact of global warming.
The action orders federal agencies to work with states to build “resilience” against major storms and other weather extremes.
For example, the president’s order directs that infrastructure projects like bridges and flood control take into consideration climate conditions of the future, which might require building structures larger or stronger — and likely at a higher price tag.

“The impacts of climate change — including an increase in prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures, more heavy downpours, an increase in wildfires, more severe droughts, permafrost thawing, ocean acidification and sea-level rise — are already affecting communities, natural resources, ecosystems, economies and public health across the nation,” the presidential order said.
“The federal government must build on recent progress and pursue new strategies to improve the nation’s preparedness and resilience.”

Election 2013: Five things to know about Muskegon Community College's bond proposal | MLive.com:"The bond proposal commits MCC to "equipping a college facility" in downtown Muskegon, and the college has entered an agreement to purchase the Masonic Temple, 396 W. Clay Ave., for the payment of $1 and about $16,500 in property taxes if the proposal passes.
It hasn't been decided what program or programs would be located there, though initial talks center on manufacturing training, entrepreneurism and creative arts. General education classes, such as math, English and science, likely would be offered so students wouldn't have to travel to the main campus.
The college has budgeted $7.2 million for the downtown location, though college officials say that figure could drop, thereby reducing the cost to taxpayers.
The cost of the proposal to Muskegon County property owners is an average of 0.33 mill for each of the next 25 years.
That equates to $16.50 per year for owners of a home with a market value of $100,000 and taxable value of $50,000.
The millage rate would start at 0.38 mill, at a cost of $19 for that same homeowner. Improvements would be constructed in phases as bond proceeds become available."

A Truly Wicked Blow: Jimmy Carter Hammers Obama for Ineptness
A Truly Wicked Blow: Jimmy Carter Hammers Obama for Ineptness « Commentary Magazine:

When asked byParade magazine how he would evaluate the Obama presidency so far, Carter said this:
He’s done the best he could under the circumstances. His major accomplishment was Obamacare, and the implementation of it now is questionable at best.
This is, as Guy Benson points out, a withering indictment from Mr. Malaise. And on first blush, I thought, an unfair one, at least given the source.
Who is Jimmy Carter to indictanyone on grounds of incompetence.
And yet the more I reflect on it, the more I think Mr. Carter may be on to something.

What exactly are the impressive achievements of President Obama?
The revival of the American economy?
Surging job growth?
The success of the stimulus package and the number of “shovel ready jobs”?
Moving us toward energy independence?
Reducing the debt?
Reducing poverty and the number of Americans on food stamps?
His oversight of agencies like the IRS?
The Fast and Furious program?
Ending America’s political divisions and unifying his countrymen?
Perhaps his skillful handling before, during, and after the terrorist assault on the American diplomatic outpost in Benghazi?
His successes in Syria?
Egypt?
Iraq?
Iran?
Peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis?
And don’t forget his signature domestic achievement, the Affordable Care Act, which may rank among the worst major government programs in modern American history, a failure in both conception and implementation.

As Barry prepares to "fold 'em", the ChiComs up the ante. Inside China: Nuclear submarines capable of widespread attack on U.S.
Inside China: Nuclear submarines capable of widespread attack on U.S. - Washington Times
Chinese state-run media revealed for the first time this week that Beijing’s nuclear submarines can attack American cities as a means to counterbalance U.S. nuclear deterrence in the Pacific.
On Monday, leading media outlets including China Central TV, the People’s Daily, the Global Times, the PLA Daily, the China Youth Daily and the Guangmin Daily ran identical, top-headlined reports about the “awesomeness” of the People's Liberation Army navy’s strategic submarine force.
“This is the first time in 42 years since the establishment of our navy’s strategic submarine force that we reveal on such a large scale the secrets of our first-generation underwater nuclear force,” the Global Times said in a lengthy article titled “China for the First Time Possesses Effective Underwater Nuclear Deterrence against the United States.”
The article features 30 photos and graphics detailing, among other things, damage projections for Seattle and Los Angeles after being hit by Chinese nuclear warheads and the deadly radiation that would spread all the way to Chicago.
China’s sub fleet is reportedly the world’s second-largest, with about 70 vessels. About 10 are nuclear-powered, and four or more of those are nuclear ballistic submarines capable of launching missiles.
Heavily influenced by Soviet naval models that stressed underwater forces, China’s nuclear submarine development began with the reverse-engineering of a Soviet Golf-class conventional-powered sub in the 1950s.
In the 1980s, China developed its first ballistic missile sub, the Type 092 Xia-class, which has 12 launch tubes for the Julang (Giant Wave)-1 missiles. The JL-1 had a limited range and failed multiple test launches.
In 2010, a new class of missile sub, the Type 094 Jin class, entered the service. It is capable of launching 12 to 16 JL-2 missiles with a range of about 8,700 miles, covering much of the continental U.S. with single or multiple, independently targetable re-entry vehicle warheads.
Chinese calculations for nuclear attacks on the U.S. are chillingly macabre.
“Because the Midwest states of the U.S. are sparsely populated, in order to increase the lethality, [our] nuclear attacks should mainly target the key cities on the West Coast of the United States, such as Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego,” the Global Times said.
“The 12 JL-2 nuclear warheads carried by one single Type 094 SSBN can kill and wound 5 million to 12 million Americans,” the Global Times reported.
China also has developed land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles — notably the DF-31A, which has a range of 7,000 to 7,500 miles.
“If we launch our DF 31A ICBMs over the North Pole, we can easily destroy a whole list of metropolises on the East Coast and the New England region of the U.S., including Annapolis, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Portland, Baltimore and Norfolk, whose population accounts for about one-eighth of America’s total residents,” the Global Times said.
All the state-run press reports stressed the point that the PLA’s missile submarines are now on routine strategic patrol, “which means that China for the first time has acquired the strategic deterrence and second strike capability against the United States.”
“Our JL-2 SLBMs have become the fourth type of Chinese nuclear missiles that threaten the continental United States, after our DF-31A, DF-5A and DF-5B ICBMs,” said the Global Times.
Racist researchers say everyone they disagree with is "racist"-Tea party attitude toward Obama influenced by race, researchers say
Tea party attitude toward Obama influenced by race, researchers say | GazetteNet.com:"Alan Abramowitz, a professor of political science at Emory University, said racial resentment among tea party members is expressed through their hostility toward Obama, the nation’s first black president.
“It goes beyond just the economic issues,” Abramowitz said.
“It’s a reaction against the trends the tea party dislikes.
And that includes growing racial and ethnic diversity."
“It’s not old-fashioned racism exactly.
“It’s not old-fashioned racism exactly.
It’s not like they want to bring back segregation.
But there’s no question that there’s an element of hostility there,” he said."
...The group did not use racist language or symbols at their meeting held at Hager Hall on Oct. 10.
However, photos of other tea party activists at rallies across the nation paint a different picture.
During the government shutdown, a protester waved a Confederate flag - a symbol of the pro-slavery South - at a tea party rally in front of the White House.
.....Both Schaller and Abramowitz said tea party supporters are smart enough not to express overtly racist attitudes.
......“Without a Republican president, you get a more open expression of some of these more extreme views. And I think that’s what we’re seeing,” he said.

SR-71 Blackbird follow-up: A new TERRIFYING Mach 6 spy-drone bomber • The Register:"The famous SR-71 Blackbird was put out to pasture over a decade ago – but the legendary Skunk Works aviation wizards that built it have been showing off a replacement that can travel twice as fast and it could be in the skies within a decade.
The SR-72 will be unmanned, saving a lot of the weight needed to keep the two fleshy pilots of its predecessor alive and functional, and will be able to cruise at high speeds for aerial reconnaissance. It is also being designed to have offensive capabilities that would make it the ultimate in fast bombers.
The new aircraft uses two types of engine to fly; a beefed-up turbojet to take off and reach speeds of up to Mach 4, whereupon a scramjet takes over and boosts the aircraft to a cruising speed of Mach 6 - that's more than two kilometers per second. Skunk Works told Aviation Week that the craft isn't particularly stealthy, but at that speed it doesn't need to be."

A: 110,001 — one to change it and 110,000 to reminisce how Bo would’ve motivated the bulb to change itself by famously snarling, “The bulb, the bulb, the bulb.”
Q: How many Spartans does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Three — one to change it, one to chug a beer and crush the bulb on his forehead, and one to argue Michigan State’s Bulb-Changing Bachelor’s Degree is just as respected as Michigan’s."

Why would our leaders sell out our heritage?

When a friend of mine asked his leadership the same question, he was told, “The Jack is too closely associated with radical groups.” "
