Nixonian Hillary Wiped Her Server - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Nixonian Hillary Wiped Her Server - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"Hell, Nixon only erased 18 minutes.  Hillary erased literally everything.  And I am starting to see comparisons to Richard Nixon.  Hillary Clinton being compared to Richard Nixon and Nixon looking better.  Not a lot of places, but in some places.  This is an AP story.  I wonder why we're only hearing about this now, but at least we're hearing about it.

"Hillary Rodham Clinton wiped her email server 'clean,' permanently deleting all emails from it, the Republican chairman of a House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks said Friday."

Now, we were told for weeks that Hillary's staff would go through these e-mails again and again and again, and why was this information released by Hillary's attorney late on a Friday night, which is the day you do document dumps?  These are always rhetorical questions.  This is the Clinton way. "


An entire country in denial-----The Secret Growing Debt Problem

The Secret Growing Debt Problem—An Interview with Carl DeMaio | Economics21
Jared Meyer interviewed former San Diego City Council member Carl DeMaio on March 24 on the subject of what can be done to solve the growing problem of the state and local pension debt crisis. DeMaio now chairs Reform California, a political action committee seeking to place pension reform on the ballot statewide. 
JM: Could you describe the pension reforms that you instituted in San Diego and what they accomplished?
CD: The public sector government pension programs are Ponzi schemes—there’s no better way to describe them. The formulas and the benefits used are unsustainable, and the financial forecasts and models use erroneous numbers and assumptions. At the end of the day, taxpayers will be left holding the bag with fewer services, higher taxes, and billions in debt...
JM: How large is this problem right now if we’re looking at the entire United States? 
CD: This is a huge problem in three ways. 
No. 1, we’re talking billions of dollars in debt, and it’s not just the official debt. When you true up the numbers with realistic assumptions, you find that the amount of debt is far greater than government officials are willing to admit. In California, the official number is around $150 million. But, with realistic return on investment assumptions and mortality rates, you find that the real number is closer to $500 billion—half a trillion dollars—just for California alone. In San Diego, they say the debt is $2 billion. Well it’s more like $4 billion...

This is how liberals "think"---Eleanor Holmes Norton says 'you don't have a right to know' what's going on in government

Eleanor Holmes Norton says 'you don't have a right to know' what's going on in government | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"Eleanor Holmes Norton, the non-voting congressional delegate for the District of Columbia, angrily sputtered during a congressional hearing Friday that the White House should not be held up to scrutiny, saying that there was no right to know what it was doing behind closed doors.
"You don't have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend. 
That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government," Norton said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing..."

Weeks After Slamming 47 Republican Senators, Obama Calls for More to Follow the ‘Example’ of Ted Kennedy Who Made a Similar Move | TheBlaze.com

Weeks After Slamming 47 Republican Senators, Obama Calls for More to Follow the ‘Example’ of Ted Kennedy Who Made a Similar Move | TheBlaze.com:

"Less than a month after President Barack Obama denounced a letter signed by 47 Republican senators to the leaders of Iran, he honored the achievements of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy – a lawmaker who reached out to the Soviet Union in the 1980s against the will of the Reagan administration.

“What if we carried ourselves more like Ted Kennedy? What if we worked to follow his example a little bit harder?”

Urban Michigan. Imagine if Walmart was their water source------A Water Dilemma in Michigan: Cloudy or Costly?

A Water Dilemma in Michigan: Cloudy or Costly? - NYTimes.com:
"FLINT, Mich. — Depending on the day, Melissa Mays says, the water flowing out of her home’s faucets might have a blue tint. 
Or it might smell like mothballs. 
Or it might fill her home with the scent of an overchlorinated swimming pool.
Lately, Ms. Mays, who is 36 and works in marketing, has not been turning on her tap much at all.
After Flint changed the source of its drinking water last spring, Ms. Mays said, she noticed a change in the water’s color and odor.
Then she started having rashes, and clumps of her hair fell out. 
When the city issued a boil order, she stopped using the water for drinking and cooking.
Now her family spends roughly $400 a month on bottled water.
“My cat gets bottled water, our plants get bottled water, our fish gets bottled water,” said Ms. Mays, who has helped organize marches to protest the water conditions and is on a city commission seeking input on how to move forward.
“It takes four to five bottles of water to fill up a pot for spaghetti.”
Flint officials insist that the city’s water is safe... "

There're heeere--------Smart meters are a ‘costly mistake’ that'll add BILLIONS to bills

Smart meters are a ‘costly mistake’ that'll add BILLIONS to bills • The Register:
A report from the Institute of Directors (IoD) warns that the government's rollout of smart meters “should be 'halted, altered or scrapped' to avoid a potentially catastrophic government IT disaster.”
The report, entitled “Not too clever: will Smart Meters be the next Government IT disaster?” describes the £11bn scheme as “unwanted by consumers, over-engineered and mind-blowingly expensive."
The Major Projects Authority has carried out three assessments into the smart meter programme; however, the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has refused to publish them, citing commercial sensitivity.
Dan Lewis, report co-author and Senior Infrastructure Advisor at the IoD, describes a "political consensus" regarding the rollout as "a conspiracy of silence among politicians in thrall to big ideas and even bigger budgets."
"This is not an age when we have to take the government in trust on numbers.
This is not where we should be at in the twenty first century," Lewis told The Register.

Another lib propaganda sheet gets fully valued-----Cablevision to make $1 offer for New York Daily News

Exclusive: Cablevision to make $1 offer for New York Daily News | Reuters:
"(Reuters) - U.S. cable T.V. operator Cablevision Systems Corp (CVC.N) is planning to make an offer for the New York Daily News as early as this week, valuing the troubled tabloid at just $1, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The offer would come one month after New York media and real estate magnate Mortimer Zuckerman said he was considering selling the newspaper and had hired Lazard Ltd (LAZ.N) to assist with the process.
It underscores the declining readership and plunging advertising revenue that have plagued the tabloid for years.
Cablevision's $1 bid takes into account the New York Daily News' reported $30 million annual loss and $150 million investment in a printing press, and declining circulation that relies heavily on newsstand sales rather than on subscriptions, the source said."

John Boehner’s one-word answer on how fast Congress will vote to hit Iran with new sanctions | TheBlaze.com

John Boehner’s one-word answer on how fast Congress will vote to hit Iran with new sanctions | TheBlaze.com:

"House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that congressional Republicans would waste no time voting to impose new sanctions against Iran if there is no agreed framework in place the early this week under which Iran would scale back its nuclear ambitions.

Boehner was asked on CNN how quickly Congress would move if the March 31 deadline passes without any agreement, and answered,"



Where's the protest for 7 black people shot over the weekend at Florida Spring Break party?

Where's the protest for 7 black people shot over the weekend at Florida Spring Break party? - Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com:
"There is a hideous and shameful double standard from the likes of Al Sharpton and Eric Holder.
Black lives only seem to matter if they are victims of white people.
In the wee hours of this past Saturday, a gunman opened fire at a Florida spring break party, injuring seven people, three critically.
The gunman was black.
The victims were black.
Where’s the outrage? 
Where are the vigils? 
Where are the t-shirts and hashtags?
Doesn’t this matter to anyone?
Heck, there’s not even a peep from the anti-gun crowd.
And of course you’ll notice in the news reports that the race of the shooter and the victims is not mentioned.
You can be absolutely certain if the shooter had been white, this would be international news.
But if it’s just black people shooting black people, I guess it really doesn’t matter to a lot of people..."

Blog: Is a stressed out Obama turning to drink?

"...The president got into Marine One . . . The helicopter was wheels-up to Joint Base Andrews at 9:34am. 
Handing over now to the travel pool . . .Marine One touched down at Joint Base Andrews at 9:41 a.m. 
POTUS bounded down the steps at 9:45. 
We’re headed for warmer climes. 
Up the AF1 steps moments later. 
You can tell this is a non-work trip (because) someone forward of the press cabin ordered 3 beers at 9:26 am.
Hmm, that’s pretty early to be hitting the sauce. 
 Of course, we don’t know who ordered the beers. 
 I suppose it is faintly possible that some underling didn’t mind drinking in front of the president as the day began."

But then yesterday:
The Commander-in-Chief, returning from a Florida trip where he played golf with wealthy donors, nearly took a tumble when exiting Air Force One on Sunday.
He gave a wave to media before stumbling for a second and resuming his trot down to the tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington. 
Still no conclusive proof of anything.  Gerald Ford stumbled getting off Air Force One (and was endlessly mocked for it).  
Still, as the world careens out of control, it is not comforting."

Maternity Tourism: The Profitable Business of Having a Child in the U.S.

Latin American Herald Tribune - Maternity Tourism: The Profitable Business of Having a Child in the U.S.:
Maternity Tourism: The Profitable Business of Having a Child in the U.S.
SEATTLE – The United States grants citizenship to any person born in its territory, a constitutional provision that in recent years has promoted the creation and expansion of a new business: maternity tourism.
With a neatly organized network of agencies and hotels, maternity tourism targets pregnant women, most of them Chinese, who want to give birth in the United States so their child will be a natural-born U.S. citizen.
“Many benefits come from being a U.S. citizen,” the Shanghai-based Star Baby Care firm, which specializes in maternity tourism in Southern California, advertises on its Web site.
“You will have free access to an elementary and high school education, and you will be entitled to apply for scholarships and student loans to attend colleges that are exclusive for U.S. citizens,” the company says...

Black Teen Allegedly Guns Down Unarmed White Man Begging 'Don't Shoot'...Liberal Outrage?

Black Teen Allegedly Guns Down Unarmed White Man Begging 'Don't Shoot'...Liberal Outrage?:
"Given the passion with which Sharpton, Jackson, and others condemned what they saw as the racial component in Michael Brown’s death on a residential street in Ferguson, one can reasonably ask where the liberal outrage is over the senseless murder that just happened in Philadelphia.
According to the NBC station in the City of Brotherly Love, it was an apparent black-on-white crime. The suspects are three African-American teens.
The victim was a 51-year-old husband and father who was walking his dog along a quiet street. And before he was gunned down in an apparent robbery, police say this man did, in fact, beg for his life, crying, “Please don’t shoot me, please don’t shoot me.”

He’s Afraid He’ll Be Arrested If He Goes Home, but That Didn’t Stop This Iranian Reporter From Making a Bombshell Claim About Obama Administration’s Negotiation Strategy | TheBlaze.com:

"A former Iranian journalist who once had close ties to President Hassan Rouhani said top Obama administration officials are toeing such a conciliatory line at the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program that they appear to be speaking “on Iran’s behalf.”

“The U.S. negotiating team are mainly there to speak on Iran’s behalf with other members of the 5+1 countries and convince them of a deal,” said Amir Hossein Motaghi who according to Britain’s Telegraph requested political asylum in Switzerland after traveling there to cover the nuclear talks. The P5+1 refers collectively to the U.S., Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia."
