‘We can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices.’ Says who?!

‘We can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices.’ Says who?! | RedState:

But you and I both know that with only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices – not when consume 20 percent of the world’s oil.

– Barack Obama, March 10, 2012

Oh, really?

That was the refrain during the election season of 2012, with average gasoline prices crowding $4.00 per gallon and no relief in sight. Democrats painted Republicans as wackos for thinking $2.50/gallon gasoline possible. But eighteen months have passed since the President’smisleading pronouncement: the U.S. is now poised to surpass Russia and Saudi Arabia as the the world’s #1 producer of oil and natural gas. The boom in domestic production continues, with oil production at levels not seen in a generation. Demand is soft, oil inventories are high and there is refinery capacity to spare.

And guess what? Gasoline prices are dropping. Color me unsurprised.

The Chris Matthews Race-Bait of the Day is... | Truth Revolt:

The race-baiting continued on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews Wednesday evening when he, once again, managed to slander the Tea Party as bigoted white folks for using phrases like "We the American People." If the phrase sounds familiar, it might be the fact you probably read it from the U.S. Constitution itself. Matthews had this to say in regards to the phrase:

When they say 'we the American people' who are they talking about? Are they only talking about people of a certain Evangelical background? A certain region? Who are they talking about when they confidently say 'we the American people' as if they don't mean blacks from the big cities. They don't mean people of other religions besides Christianity. Who are they talking about?

After a brief reply from Mother Jones columnist David Corn, spouting cliched anti-Republican rhetoric, Matthews then took his daily swing at Ted Cruz and his Cuban/Canadian heritage.

I'm not going to quit on this point. I like immigrants, especially people who come here legally and play by the rules. He did that. But his father's from Cuba. He just got here from Canada, and yet he gets to dictate who an American is. He gets to write out everybody in the northeast, everybody who is a liberal, everybody who is a minority. The blacks who were here for 400 years, are they Americans or just the guy who got here from Canada with a Cuban father? How do you get to dictate this stuff to America to your convenience. It's an awesome arrogance.

This concludes yet another segment of..."The Chris Matthews Race-Bait of the Day".

Pentagon training manual: white males have unfair advantages

Pentagon training manual: white males have unfair advantages | Fox News:
"A controversial 600-plus page manual used by the military to train its Equal Opportunity officers teaches that "healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian" men hold an unfair advantage over other races, and warns in great detail about a so-called "White Male Club."

“Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege,” reads a statement in the manual created by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute (DEOMI)."

Seriously, you're expecting them to tell the truth? ---Dems may have to admit Obamacare tax increase

Dems may have to admit Obamacare tax increase: Column:
"The individual insurance mandate can't be a requirement to buy insurance because that unprecedented demand was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
Instead, the court identified the mandate as a tax on millions of Americans.
If that's true, it must be forthrightly identified as such and scored by the Congressional Budget Office.
The White House and congressional Democrats can no longer have it both ways. Here's why."

A law for thee but not for me.......Congress governs self under 'Obamacare'

My Way News - Congress governs self under 'Obamacare':
"Members of Congress are governing themselves under President Barack Obama's signature law, which means they have great leeway in how to apply it to their own staffs.
For House members and senators, it's about a section of the law that may - or may not - require lawmakers to toss some staffers off of their federal health insurance and into the Affordable Care Act's exchanges.
The verdict from congressional officers is ultimately that lawmakers, as employers, have discretion over who among their staffs gets ejected, and who stays. And they don't have to say who, how many or why.

What they all say is this:
"I followed the law," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., echoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others."

We've got a part-time legislature but we're payin' for for a full-time legislature. Why? ----Here's how many days lawmakers expect to work in Lansing for rest of 2013

Tim Skubick: Here's how many days lawmakers expect to work in Lansing for rest of 2013 | MLive.com: "Check this out:

• 11 session days in September.

• 15 session days in October.

• Six on the calender for November as a lot of time is consumed by the annual hiatus to kill deer and then eat turkey. So much for November.

Then comes December, with nine session days planned but in the state senate three of those days late in the month are listed as “tentative.”

Or put another way, there are 61 days left in the year and state lawmakers are in town for 15 days or about 30% of the time - but remember, the rest of the time, “I’m back home working in the district.”"

Food stamp benefits going down before the holidays - NBC News.com:
"Millions of American families could face a sparse holiday table when food stamps benefits get reduced in November, and that could be just the start of deeper cuts to the program to feed poor families.

The modern-day food stamp plan, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is scheduled to scale back benefits for all recipients on Nov. 1 because a recession-era boost in benefits is expiring.

The cut comes as lawmakers also are considering billions of dollars of reductions to the overall SNAP program, which has grown substantially in recent years amid the weak economy and high unemployment.

The program is now serving more than 23 million households, or nearly 48 million people, according to the most recent government data through June. The USDA says the average monthly benefit is about $275 per household.

The exact reduction depends on the recipients’ situation, but a family of four with no other changes in circumstances will receive $36 less per month, according to the USDA. At today's average prices, that translates to four fewer whole chickens each month."

The Four Other Obamacare Disasters the Media Ignored:
"In today’s Politico, reporters admit the mainstream media turned a blind eye and deaf ear to conservatives’ warnings about Obamacare—that not all Americans could keep their plans.
But with 1.5 million Americans (and counting) receiving cancellation notices because their individual health plans don’t comply with Obamacare, the media are doing an about-face.
This isn’t the only Obamacare warning the media have ignored.
Heritage and other health experts have warned about four more potential Obamacare disasters for years:"

2. Illegal Subsidies to Congressional Members and Their Staffs:
