Panic in Needle Park......nO-Care 'fix' extends to bare-bones plans
O-Care 'fix' extends to bare-bones plans | TheHill:"The Obama administration is planning to allow individuals whose health insurance was cancelled under ObamaCare to buy catastrophic plans once intended mainly for young people.
Under the plan, individuals who are unable to renew their current health insurance will be able to purchase bare-bones coverage, according to a source connected with the health industry.
Current rules say that to qualify for a catastrophic plan, individuals must be either under 30 or qualify for a "hardship" exemption. "

Holy crapoli! They fought through the idiotic phone and web system. They finally reached the finish line. And Obamacare just increased the race to a marathon? ----Illinois warns thousands to reapply for Obamacare
Illinois warns thousands to reapply for Obamacare | The Daily Caller:"Less than a week before the deadline to sign up for insurance coverage, Illinois is contacting thousands of customers announcing that they might have to redo their applications for Obamacare.
Illinois’s exchange, run in a partnership with the federal government through HealthCare.gov, has been referring applicants it deemed eligible for Medicaid coverage to the federal government instead.
But in response to growing complaints, state officials announced Wednesday they’re in the midst of calling and emailing the 30,000 exchange customers sent to Medicaid to tell them to do their applications all over again if they believe they were mistakenly pegged for the low-income program."
You probably already heard and read ALL about this......didn't you? It's big news when someone discriminates.....isn't it...... Lesbian boss ‘fired me for being straight’
Lesbian boss ‘fired me for being straight’ | New York Post:
"A married, heterosexual gym teacher at a tony Upper West Side private school was fired because his lesbian supervisor disapproved of his “traditional family status,” the canned teacher claims in a new Manhattan lawsuit.
Gregory Kenney, 50, taught gym at the Trinity School on W. 91st St. for 16 years before he was let go in June 2012.
Kenney, who lives with his wife and three young children in LI, says he was a well-liked employee at the elite institution that counts Truman Capote, Ivanka Trump and Eric Schneiderman as alumni, until a gay athletic director named Pat Krieger took over in 2009.
Krieger allegedly forced him to coach three sports, even though his contract only required him to join two teams, according to his reverse discrimination suit.
When he complained that the extra responsibilities interfered with his family obligations Krieger allegedly told him, “We all make choices,” the suit says."

Using "safety" as a ruse to cheat the public----Perfect enforcement: On the ground in the red light camera wars
Perfect enforcement: On the ground in the red light camera wars | Ars Technica:
Marsh found that "most of the tickets [we issue from red light cameras] are right-hand turn.
It's illegal, it's dangerous, but it's not the 'fatal accident' type of turn.”
MODESTO, CA—Speaking in his downtown office, Mayor Garrad Marsh told Ars that he has lots of questions for Redflex, one of the largest red light camera (RLC) operators in the United States.
....But he was still troubled by the focus on turn lanes and continued to look into the implementation details of the Redflex setup.
Marsh found that "most of the tickets [we issue from red light cameras] are right-hand turn. It's illegal, it's dangerous, but it's not the 'fatal accident' type of turn.”
This was a pattern.
The cameras in Modesto are mounted across four intersections, but they are only set up to capture six precise situations.

The cameras in Modesto are mounted across four intersections, but they are only set up to capture six precise situations.
As the Modesto Bee noted in October 2013, the cameras watch drivers who are:
In short, just two out of the six deployments are even designed to capture the most dangerous scenario worrying citizens and city officials alike: cars blasting straight through a red light at high speed.
“We're collecting $1 million from our residents and sending most of it to Arizona,” Marsh said, referring to Redflex’s American subsidiary located in the Grand Canyon State.
“I'm going: are we really making our intersections safer?
If it was $1 million and it all stayed in Modesto, I might not be so pessimistic or cynical.
And if it proves to truly produce safer intersections without having to utilize personnel to be there that aren't out there catching bad guys or patrolling.
I'm not guaranteeing that I'll vote against it or change, but I am quite concerned that it's not what we bought, and it doesn't do good for our local economy.”

Seems all the new government guidelines tell us we need less health care. No reason to question their objectivity. Right? New Blood Pressure Guidelines for Seniors: 149/89 Is OK
New Blood Pressure Guidelines for Seniors: 149/89 Is OK:"New guidelines are out that say many older adults with high blood pressure can be treated less aggressively. That could mean taking fewer pills to get high blood pressure under control.
The recommendations come from a government-appointed panel that reviewed rigorous research.
But government officials have not endorsed them and the American Heart Association is coming out with other guidelines next year.
Panel members stressed that they are not changing the definition of high blood pressure: 140 over 90.
But they say adults aged 60 and older don't need to take blood pressure drugs unless their levels reach 150 over 90 or higher."

Scientists, economists attack EPA ‘massive seizure of power’ | The Daily Caller:"A group of climate scientists and economists are challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other stationary sources.
These critics see a “massive seizure of power” by the agency.
The scientists and economists, including the former chair of the EPA’s Science Advisory Committee, filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, arguing that the agency does not have the authority to permit greenhouse gases from stationary sources.
According to the group, such a permitting scheme is a “naked power grab of the most cynical sort.”"

Detroit EMS rigs donated to city still sitting unused | News - HomeAbout two weeks ago, 13 new ambulances were handed to Detroit.

They’re not in use, not on the street and not in service.

Coal Must Embrace All-Out Battle with Eco-Bullies
PJ Media » Coal Must Embrace All-Out Battle with Eco-BulliesImagine you have been wrongfully arrested, charged with murdering a child.
Although the evidence against you is sketchy, the police have no other suspects, and with the government anxious to appease those demanding justice, your case is rushed to trial.
Your lawyer decides that with public sentiment strongly against you, the best course of action is to plead guilty and to throw yourself at the mercy of the court.
But then, police find eyewitnesses who place you miles from the scene of the crime when it occurred.
Your lawyer even discovers that the victim’s body has yet to be found — and there is now some question as to whether the child ever existed.
With a sense of relief you head to court, confident this new information will lead to the case being dismissed.
But to your astonishment, your lawyer does not even bring up evidence of your innocence.
Instead he pleads for leniency, which gives the court moral authority to punish you for a crime you never committed and perhaps never even happened.
This insane scenario is analogous to what is happening to one of America’s most important industries and the source of 40% of the nation’s electricity: coal.
Accused of causing dangerous climate change due to its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, coal-fired electric power is in the crosshairs of a president anxious to be seen as taking action to stop global warming and extreme weather.
That global warming stopped 17 years ago, and extreme weather has not increased despite an 8% rise in CO2?
This is never referenced by President Barack Obama or his Environmental Protection Agency.

Obama's two americas---Black Student ‘Lynches’ Two White Guys, Calls It Art
Really, really weird!The national media seems to have missed this.......NOT!
Black Student ‘Lynches’ Two White Guys, Calls It Art:
An African-American student at Sacramento State University is under fire for her recent work of art – which consisted of “lynching” two white men from a tree on the northern California campus.
The men were reportedly actors and were in no real danger during the project, which took place during the day in early December while students were on campus. The men were hung from a tree with a thick rope.
The senior responsible for the performance art, Christina Edwards, defended her project to Fox 40 News.
“The purpose of this performance was to bring to light social injustices and the issue of inequality that impacts me and my community as a whole,” Edwards said.Edwards says she chose to illustrate this time in history by using race reversal, in an effort to shine new light on an old but standing matter. And says she followed all campus procedures.The university doesn’t see it that way, however. University President Alexander Gonzalez released this statement saying, in part: “The university did not approve the display, and I want to assure everyone that I am working to address the multiple issues raised by this incident.”

There's a hashtag, #GetTalking, and you're supposed to spread this around, and this is how Obama's trying to organize his troops:
Spend the month of December thinking about, talking about getting health insurance.

Heck, the guy thought ALL electricity was free------Electric car owner charged with stealing 5 cents worth of juice
Electric car owner charged with stealing 5 cents worth of juice | 11alive.com:"Sgt. Ford says the officer should have arrested Kamooneh on the spot.
But he didn't.
Instead, the officer filed a police report.
Then 11 days passed, and two deputies showed up at his house in Decatur.
"They arrested me here at about eight o'clock at night," Kamooneh said.
Ford said he sought the arrest warrant after determining that school officials hadn't given Kamooneh permission to plug in his car.
Ford said Chamblee Police did so without asking school officials if they wanted to prosecute the alleged theft of electricity. A DeKalb Schools spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
Records show Kamooneh spent more than 15 hours in the DeKalb County Jail for plugging his car into a school's electrical outlet.
Kamooneh acknowledges he hadn't asked permission first.
"When I got there, there was nobody there. It was a Saturday morning," he said.
"A theft is a theft," Sgt. Ford said. When asked if he'd make the arrest again, he answered: "Absolutely.""
