Judge Jeanine Pirro Demands President Obama’s Impeachment

No one tops Judge Jeanine’s righteous indignation.

 

Every single news station in the USA should have someone saying the same thing…

Why don’t they?

The Most Startling Chart of the Obama Era

I happened to look at the official government statistics for the Labor Force Participation Rate. This is the percentage of adults 16 and over that are in the workforce.

I noticed something that I haven’t heard others point out.

Take a look at the rate and walk down each column (each month) since January of 2009 when SCOAMF was first inaugurated.

Did you notice it?

Adjusted for seasonality, the labor force participation rate (LFR) has never increased — not once — under Obama! Normalized by month, the LFR has been on a non-stop ride to progressive Utopia (i.e., full unemployment).

This is a stunning repudiation of the Obama economic agenda. Stunning.

Mind you, this is the Obama administration’s own set of statistics. Having confirmed that the White House routinely publishes fake economic statistics (e.g., “Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report“), the true data may be even worse.

And what is this, the fourth or fifth annual “Summer of Recovery”©®™?

Doug: This is messed up

Posted on June 6, 2014 by Doug

This just in from a 7th engineers buddy.

Subject: FW: WITH REGRET????????

We idolized and memorialized Whitney Houston, yet looked the other way concerning her well-known substance abuse and tumultuous life with singer Bobby Brown.

Charlie Sheen is 45 and his story is all over the news because he is a substance abuser, an adulterer, sexually promiscuous and obnoxious.

Lindsay Lohan is 24 and her story is all over the news because she is a celebrity drug addict and thief.

Something as frivolous as Kim Kardashian’s stupid wedding (and short-lived marriage) was shoved down our throats, while……..

…are all Marines who gave their lives last month for you. There is no media for them; not even a mention of their names. They were young men who most likely came from rural America seeking a chance to better themselves and to serve this country.

Honor THEM by sending this on. I did, will you?  Rest In Peace, and THANK YOU!

What we still need to learn about Bergdahl release

By Dr. Marc Siegel
A seasoned physician will tell you that she can’t tell that much about a person’s health just be looking at a video. Don’t get me wrong, yellow skin or eyes can mean a failing liver, pale skin can signify anemia, and sweating can be a sign of infection.

But these are vague clues. Bowe Bergdahl’s rapid blinking in the video the Taliban released is not medically meaningful. Politicians saying he looked sick or drugged or at death’s door is also not medically relevant. Without specific medical “intel” in the form of a physical exam, X-rays, EKG, urine and blood tests, blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature, it is impossible to make a diagnosis or determine that a person is in imminent medical danger from infection, malnutrition, or dehydration.

President Obama’s (and Defense Secretary Hagel’s) statements earlier this week that “we were concerned about Bergdahl’s health” is at best dangerous speculation and at worst a deliberate smokescreen to provide political cover.

This is why President Obama’s  (and Defense Secretary Hagel’s) statements earlier this week that “we were concerned about Bergdahl’s health” is at best dangerous speculation and at worst a deliberate smokescreen to provide political cover.

As a physician with many years of experience it is easy for me to look at the latest videos of Bergdahl since his release from the Taliban and tell you that he is awake, alert, and in no acute distress. He appears to be in good health, but I would need to examine him and review his test results to confirm this.
President Obama is not a physician and should not have traded for a prisoner based partly on health reasons without real physicians examining the patient and relaying medical facts.
Of course, there is no way an American physician could have examined him and no way our government could have obtained actual health records, which is precisely why our leaders should not have been speculating about Bergdahl’s health, either as a trumped up justification for the prisoner exchange,  or again now.

Science doesn’t lie; politicians do.

Navy Altered Destroyer Upgrades Due to Budget Pressure, Demand for Ships

Last week, USNI News reported the Navy would not upgrade 21 out 28 Flight I and II DDGs to the IAMD Baseline 9 standard and the ships would instead have an upgrade focused on hull, mechanical and electrical (HM&E) systems.

Based on the Navy’s historical record — ships with HM&E centric availabilities can become targets of decommissioning through obsolescence.

Only a handful of the Navy’s destroyers are going to get the new modern computers and systems making them capable of surviving in the maelstrom of naval warfare in the 21st century.    The costs?   How much to upgrade all 62 fleet destroyers?  Less than half a billion.  Less than 300 million.    If you add up the costs of all Barry Soetoro’s golf vacations, cost to the US taxpayers of transportation and security of his family excursions in the last five and a half years you could pay for this,   easy.  If you add in the costs charged to the American Taxpayer for travel and expenses related to Barak Obama’s re-election bid.   You could could re-equip the entire fleet.    No Shit.

How’s your blood pressure doing so far?  If it’s already climbing, do not continue… Continue reading →

Making a list, checking it twice…

Posted on June 4, 2014 by On the North River

Cruz details 76 specific actions over eight chapters. We’ve listed eight of them, as chronicled by Cruz, below:

1) ‘Obama implemented portions of the DREAM Act by executive action (Although rejected by Congress!—my addition)’

2) ‘Ended some terror asylum restrictions (Although established by Congress by law!—my addition)’

3) ‘Recognized same sex marriage in Utah despite a Supreme Court stay on a court order allowing the institution’

4) ‘Illegally revealed the existence of sealed indictments in the Benghazi investigation’

5) ‘Illegally delayed Obamacare verification of eligibility for healthcare subsidies’

6) ‘Ordered Boeing to fire 1,000 employees in South Carolina and shut down a new factory because it was non-union’

7) ‘Terminated the pensions of 20,000 non-union Delphi employees in the GM bankruptcy.’

8) ‘Government agencies are engaging in ‘Operation Choke Point,’ where the government asks banks to ‘choke off’ access to financial services for customers engaging in conduct the Administration does not like—such as ‘ammunition sales.’’
