White House Mulls ObamaCare Subsidies for Labor Unions
White House Mulls ObamaCare Subsidies for Labor Unions:
"“Separately, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi [D., Calif.] said to union members earlier this month that she was still working to resolve their concerns about the law, particularly on the Taft-Hartley plan issue,” Dixit wrote.
However, as Roy observes, this “concern” is not exactly an “issue,” but, rather, a matter of union leaders “seeking special treatment, and additional taxpayer subsidies, that other participants in employer-sponsored coverage don’t get.”

Appeals court says White House visitor logs can be kept from public
Appeals court says White House visitor logs can be kept from public | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton was extremely disappointed by the decision, saying "a president that doesn't want Americans, under law, to know who his visitors are is a president who doesn't want to be accountable.
The appellate court decision punches another hole in the Freedom of Information Act, the law which allows Americans to know what their government is up to."

CNN Ignores Dem Congressman Saying Pass Senate Bill Or Women Will Be Raped
CNN Ignores Dem Congressman Saying Pass Senate Bill Or Women Will Be Raped | NewsBusters:
"CNN has completely ignored remarks from a Democratic congressman that women will be raped unless immigration reform passes.
At a Monday town hall, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) stated why he is voting for the Senate immigration bill despite its "harsh conditions": "There's a woman that's going to be raped in a field somewhere in America today, because she has no rights in this country, and we need to end that."
"I'd vote for that proposal today," he said of the Senate bill. "I'd vote for it today, even under those harsh conditions. He then explained why:
"Because what we need to understand is today someone's going to die in the desert trying to return to their families. Women and men are going to die in that desert. Someone's going to lose a finger, a hand, an eye, a life today, because an unscrupulous employer is going to put them in harm's way. Someone's going to die."

"This is presumably some sort of federally-mandated affirmative-action diversity thing:
An estimated one-fifth of a subset of all applicants for Central Intelligence Agency positions had significant ties to the terror groups Hamas, Hezbollah and al Qaeda, a newly released document from the Edward Snowden collection revealed Monday.
That would certainly explain a lot."

40 under 40: Census data shows 20-something population stable, young adults explain why they stayed | MLive.com:
"Muskegon County's age 20- to 30-year-old population has remained steady according to U.S. Census data between the recent years of 2010 and 2012," said Amy Haak, program director of the West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission.
"This shows that the Muskegon area is offering activities and venues that attract a younger population."
Examples, she said, include restaurants like Mia and Grace or Drip Drop Drink, a coffee spot that opened up recently inside the Russell Block Building. Both establishments offer specialty foods that are often organic and local, which "appeals to a younger demographic," Haak said.
Individuals in that age group however, cited personal connections and the opportunity to make a difference as main reasons for their decisions to stay."
This is drivel!

Pardon the Language

"A year into the Syrian Civil War, President Obama made an off-the-cuff remark regarding chemical weapons. He said:
"We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus. That would change my equation."
If “whole bunches” of things “being utilized” or maybe just “moving around” changing his “equation” counts as being “very clear,” I’d hate to see what ambiguity would have looked like.
But none of that matters, because everybody knew Obama wasn’t being serious, because the very next day his aids leaked that the President might not have really meant the things he’d sort-of said.
Obama wanted the appearance of seriousness, I think he thought he appeared to be serious, but there was no actual seriousness to be found anywhere in the President’s general vicinity."

Sure it does.
Honestly it’s a relief to know that Barack Obama is not the only one who does that.
He and Cameron certainly have a lot to talk about.
They should sit and have a spot of tea."
