California Bill Would Extend 'Obamacare' To Illegal Immigrants

California Bill Would Extend 'Obamacare' To Illegal Immigrants:

"Via Talking Points Memo:
 A California bill would extend health coverage to undocumented immigrants, using an Obamacare-style program to assist those left uncovered by the health care reform law.
 Kaiser Health News reported that the legislation, introduced by state Sen. Ricardo Lara, a Democrat, would use state dollars to pay for Medicaid coverage for low-income residents who are in the state illegally. 
No federal funding would be used. 
It would also establish an online marketplace where undocumented immigrants with higher incomes could buy private insurance. 
 Up to 2.6 million undocumented immigrants live in California, where they can currently receive emergency medical care and pregnancy care. 
About 1 million of them are estimated to be uninsured, according to KHN.
 What do you think of the idea of giving free health care benefits to illegal aliens?"

Blondie Bennett, Barbie-Obsessed Woman, Uses Hypnotherapy To Make Herself ‘Brainless’

A California woman who is obsessed with Barbie says she has one goal in life.

“I just want to be the ultimate Barbie. I actually want to be brainless,” Blondie Bennett, 38, told Barcroft TV. “I don’t like being human, if that makes sense… Natural is boring… I would love to be like, completely plastic.

She is so serious about her goal that she uses hypnotherapy sessions in order to decrease her IQ.

“I’ve had 20 sessions and I’m already starting to feel ditzy and confused all the time,” Bennett told the Daily Mail.

She is undergoing the sessions two to three times a week.

 “Recently I went to pick a friend up at the airport and couldn’t remember if I needed to go to departures or arrivals. I also got lost for three hours driving to my mum’s house – the house where I grew up.”

Bennett already has had five breast augmentations costing more than $41,000 and plastic surgery in order to become the “ultimate Barbie.” Although her family and friends don’t approve, it hasn’t stopped her from chasing what she thinks is the perfect life.

“When people ask why I want to be Barbie I think ‘who wouldn’t want to be?’” she told the Daily Mail. “She has the best life. All she does is shop and make herself look pretty – she doesn’t worry about anything.”

Bennett is currently unemployed but makes money from men who pay her in exchange for pictures of her dressed up as Barbie.

American snowboarder Vic Wild boosted his adopted country’s medal count for a second time today.

Wild, who’s competing for Russia, won his second gold medal in Sochi in the parallel slalom final. He won the men’s parallel giant slalom earlier in the week.

Wild, who was born in Washington state, said that he didn’t have the support from the United States Olympic Committee or the United States Snowboarding Association to pursue his Olympic dreams at home. So he went abroad.

........“I didn’t have the support I needed. The USOC and the USSA do a great job but not everyone can be happy. I don’t hold a grudge. I am here now doing what I want to do and it’s all good,” Wild said.

Universities in FCC Newsroom Probe Have Close Ties to Soros, Got $1.8M in Funding

Universities in FCC Newsroom Probe Have Close Ties to Soros, Got $1.8M in Funding | CNS News:
 "The FCC may have suspended its invasion into American newsrooms, but the controversial "Critical Information Needs" study also has George Soros' fingerprints all over it.

While disturbing, this should come as no surprise since Soros' gave more than $52 million to media organizations from 2000-2010.

Two schools were working with FCC on the project, according to Byron York of The Washington Examiner. The University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Communication and Democracy, were tasked by the FCC with coming up with criteria for what information is "critical" for Americans to have. The FCC study would have covered newspapers, websites, radio and television, according to The Washington Post.

On top of the 1st Amendment problems with this proposal, the schools involved have strong ties to liberal billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations and have gotten more than $1.8 million from since 2000"

According to recently released data from the Energy Information Administration, the Great American Energy Boom set another milestone in 2013 as “net oil imports” fell to a 28-year low of 33.2%, the lowest level since 1985. The surge in domestic crude oil production from shale formations in recent years, along with a decrease in crude oil imports, has brought about an amazing turnaround in America’s reliance on foreign sources of oil, and the chart above captures that turnaround graphically.

» Man Wearing Pro-Gun T-shirt Thrown Out of Voting Booth Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!:

Election officials ejected a Texas man from a voting booth because he was wearing a Second Amendment t-shirt.

Chris Driskill was prevented from voting at the Waller County Courthouse on Tuesday after officials claimed he was violating Texas Election Code section 85.036, which states that “a person may not electioneer for or against any candidate, measure, or political party” in or within 100 feet of a voting location.

“I heard a gentleman’s voice over my shoulder say ‘he can’t vote with that shirt on. You’ll have to either turn it inside out our you’ll have to leave,’” Driskill told KVUE.

The officials used the election law to throw Driskill out of the voting booth even though the shirt simply stated “Second Amendment – 1789 – America’s Original Homeland Security” on the front without any mention of a political candidate or proposition.

Cops arrest jogging woman because she couldn't hear them

Cops arrest jogging woman because she couldn't hear them | The Daily Caller:
"The officers chased the woman down and grabbed her arm from behind. Not knowing what was happening, the woman pulled away from the officer. This meant that she was resisting, and the woman soon found herself sitting on the ground in handcuffs.

Local man Chris Quintero watched the incident from a coffee ship window, and was irritated by the police officers’ behavior. He snapped a picture of the woman during her arrest.

“I was annoyed that the cops were kind of just hanging out on the corner giving citation after citation,” said Quintero in an interview with My Fox Austin. “She grabbed his arm and she shook him off.”

Quintero said it was clear that the woman couldn’t hear the officers, and didn’t mean to disobey the police."

GM Promotes Gay Rights as Company-Wide Problems Mount

GM Promotes Gay Rights as Company-Wide Problems Mount | National Legal and Policy Center:

General Motors continues to find innovative ways to make political points while losing market value. The company continues its heavy ad spending, this time at the Olympics. The marketing wizards at GM are trying to tap into theLGBT consumer market, which equals approximately 3.5% of the total population. At the same time, GM shares are getting hit once again as higher inventory levels are leading to heavy discounting. The company still looks a lot like Government Motors.

.....GM seems determined to impress its political masters in Washington, rather than investors. If that is not the case, GM shareholders should be even more worried about management credibility as the company continues to focus on all the wrong things. 

I doubt that heterosexual, tax-paying, truck buying males — GM's most important consumers — are going to be swayed by GM's gay Olympics ads. Nor does the company's reliance on tax subsidies to promote the pseudo-green Chevy Volt make them any points.

Obama's america------UC Berkeley Liberals Expose Elementary Kids to Giant Penis and ‘Pin-The-Tail on the Anus’ Game

UC Berkeley Liberals Expose Elementary Kids to Giant Penis and ‘Pin-The-Tail on the Anus’ Game

As debates continue on whose job it is to educate children and teens about sex- the parents or schools- University of California Berkeley, a liberal haven of radical social agendas, gave young elementary school children quite an “education” as they filed past a man in a giant penis costume who was handing out condoms and were exposed to other school-sponsored sex games such as “pin-the-tail on the anus.”

According to Campus Reform:

A group of elementary and middle school students touring University of California – Berkeley last week were exposed to a man in a giant penis costume and school-sponsored sex games.

“All day long, little kids were prancing by the dental dam demonstrations, sex-themed games of chance, and the guy in the penis suit,” student Claire Chiara said in an interview with Campus Reform Thursday.

The children were led through the campus quad while Berkeley students were playing “pin-the-tail on the anus” and tossing condoms through holes on a poster board meant to represent vaginas and anuses.

There was also a man dressed as a giant penis handing out condoms, although he was not permitted to hand them to the children.

The events were not spontaneous but pre-planned as part of the school’s celebration of National Condom Week.

“Every day of the week, we have kids aged 6-18 touring our school, which is fantastic — but not during the National Condom Week,” Chiara said. “It was poor planning on the part of the Tang Center to put up the Sex Ed tent in front of Sproul Hall, as that is the most popular spot on campus for tour groups to stop.”

25 Charged in Largest Medicaid Fraud Bust in D.C. History

25 Charged in Largest Medicaid Fraud Bust in D.C. History « CBS DC:
"WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — Federal authorities say 25 people have been charged in a wide-ranging scheme to obtain millions of dollars in fraudulent Medicaid payments from the District of Columbia government.
U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen calls it the largest health-care fraud case in the city’s history.
It involved bogus claims for home care services, a category of Medicaid claim that has grown dramatically in the city over the past eight years.
Machen says fraud is largely responsible for the increase in those claims.
The uptick in billings for home care — from $40 million in 2006 to $280 million last year — was part of what tipped off authorities to illegal activity, U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen said."

Your tax dollars at "work"---Washington State Hires Fake Rappers to Recruit Young People for Obamacare

Washington State Hires Fake Rappers to Recruit Young People for Obamacare | Truth Revolt

he ever increasing effort to wrangle young people into Obamacare, the Washington Health Benefit Exchange has spent tons of taxpayer cash on some ads featuring a fake hip-hop duo questioning several Washington residents who signed up through Washington Healthplanfinder according to MyNorthwest.

"These new ads use humor and pop culture references to get people's attention as well as make a serious message stick," says Michael Marchand, Director of Communications at the Washington Health Benefit Exchange. "I think the first thing that when people initially see the ads is they're immediately caught off guard and the reaction is 'What did I just watch?' The more people watch them the more they seem to like them and it seems to have almost that Napoleon Dynamite/Anchorman feel to it, and the more you see the movie you realize there's layers to it."

The ads have been met with criticism from media outlets. KIRO Radio's Dori Monson said, "it's like a middle-aged person's idea funny," a sentiment Michael Marchand vehemently disagreed with."

Quote Of The Day

Quote Of The Day » Black & Right

This is a great example of the “embrace of the free expression of ideas”, fraudulently promoted by almost all institutions of higher learning.

What really bothered me is, the whole idea is that at a liberal arts college, we need to be hearing a diversity of opinion. I don’t think we should be tolerating (Robert George‘s) conservative views because that dominant culture embeds these deep inequalities in our society. We should not be conceding to the dominant culture by saying that the so-called “progressive left” is marginalizing the conservative.
— Erin Ching, Class of ‘16

I personally don’t think it fair Erin Ching will be singled out because her views are consistent with the vast majority of thinking on liberal campuses like Swarthmore.

It’s sad that professors continue to distribute one-sided presentations to impressionable young people, turning them into the closed-minded they claim to abhor.

Ex-CBO Chief: Obamacare's Work Disincentive ‘Exactly the Same’ As Welfare’s

Ex-CBO Chief: Obamacare's Work Disincentive ‘Exactly the Same’ As Welfare’s | CNS News:

"There’s no difference between the disincentives to work found in the Affordable Care Act and welfare payments, says the former director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

“It’s exactly the same thing,” Douglas Holtz-Eakin, now president of the American Action Forum (AAF), told CNSNews.com.

 “Many low income workers will figure out that if they work more, they’ll have to give up their tax credits and some Obamacare subsidies.

They’ll add up the benefits and conclude it’s not worth it to work another day or another shift,” the economist said. "

Take a moment and let it really sink in! This nothing short of AMAZING!

THE NEW WELFARE MAP

Make sure you read to the bottom...

Quite an eye opener...

These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed!

Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits,

the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What's the problem with that much support?

Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000,which averages out to $137.13 a day.

To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour.

               

Furthermore:

There are actually two messages here.  The first is very

interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.

           Check this last set of statistics!!

           The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked

in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.

You know what the private business sector is; a real-life business, not a

government job.  Here are the percentages.

           T. Roosevelt.................... 38%

           Taft................................ 40%

            Wilson .......................... 52%

           GH Bush.......................... 51%

            Clinton .......................... 39%

           GW Bush........................ 55%

           Obama............................. 8%

           This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:

only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

           That's right!  Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the

last 19 presidents!  And these people are trying to tell our big

corporations how to run their business?

           How can the president of a major nation and society, the one

with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk

about business when he's never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has

never really had one?  And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff

and closest advisers?  They've spent most of their time in academia,

government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."

They should have been in an employment line.

           Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main

stream media

 "Given that blatant abuse of power and chilling attack on free press, one would think that every news outlet throughout the country would be outraged over the latest revelation that Obama wants to send FCC agents to monitor the selection of news stories for reporting.

This is a yet another massive and unconstitutional overreach on the part of Obama.

The tactic is described by Jay Sekulow of ACLJ as an intimidation tactic like that used by repressive regimes to silence the press. 

But, not all news networks reported on this shocking story.

ABC, NBC, and CBS were all silent regarding this attack on freedom of the press. 

A search on the websites of CNN and MSNBC also found no report on this unconstitutional power grab and attack on freedom of the press."

OooooKay....They promise to bring in $98 million.....and they're gonna spend $99 MILLION to "fix" the effects of pot smoking?!!!-----Governor: Colorado pot market exceeds tax hopes

Governor: Colorado pot market exceeds tax hopes

DENVER (AP) — Colorado's legal marijuana market is far exceeding tax expectations, according to a budget proposal released Wednesday by Gov. John Hickenlooper that gives the first official estimate of how much the state expects to make from pot taxes.

The proposal outlines plans to spend some $99 million next fiscal year on substance abuse prevention, youth marijuana use prevention and other priorities. The money would come from a statewide 12.9 percent sales tax on recreational pot. Colorado's total pot sales next fiscal year were estimated to be about $610 million.

Retail sales began Jan. 1 in Colorado. Sales have been strong, though exact figures for January sales won't be made public until early next month.

The governor predicted sales and excise taxes next fiscal year would produce some $98 million, well above a $70 million annual estimate given to voters when they approved the pot taxes last year. The governor also includes taxes from medical pot, which are subject only to the statewide 2.9 percent sales tax.
