Beware of 'tipping point'

government benefits. Obamacare has pushed us over the entitlements tipping point. In 2011 some 49.2 percent of U.S. households received benefits from one or more government programs—about 151 million out of an estimated 306.8 million Americans—according to U.S. Census Bureau data released last October. Currently, around 6 million to 7 million Americans who have signed up for Obamacare are receiving taxpayer-provided subsidies (though the administration’s numbers cannot be trusted, ...

I splurged for my birthday and had my hair professionally colored on Friday. I have natural dark brown hair with gray spatterings. I wanted it a natural brown and decided on a shade lighter, hardly noticable. I have noticed that the roots look reddish since then and since I've never had my hair done I thought it was "normal" and it would tone down. I finally called the salon back today and they told me to come in so they could see it. They also noticed it was redder ...

Here's my question - The owner of the salon where I get my hair cut and colored is the one who does my hair 95% of the time. Her prices are very reasonable for the area where I live, about half the cost of other places around. I've always tipped in the past, which she often refuses or gives me free product in return, and yes, I know you're not technically supposed to tip the owner of the salon, but I've always felt like you tip for good service. I'm won ...

Recall that Hillary did her college thesis on Saul Alinsky's writings and Obama writes about him in his books. Saul Alinsky died about 43 years ago, but his writings influenced those in political control of our nation today. Died: June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-theSea, CA. Education: University of Chicago Spouse: Irene Alinsky Books: Rules for Radicals, Reveille for Radicals Anyone out there think that this stuff isn’t happening today in the U.S.?

By Michael Goodwin March 22, 2015 | 12:23am First he comes for the banks and health care, uses the IRS to go after critics, politicizes the Justice Department, spies on journalists, tries to curb religious freedom, slashes the military, throws open the borders, doubles the debt and nationalizes the Internet. He lies to the public, ignores the Constitution, inflames race relations and urges Latinos to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandons our allies, appeas ...

Privatization thus replaces public, government-owned, assets, by privately owned assets, and so it transfers control from publicly elected (government) leaders (who are answerable to everyone at ballot-boxes), to private ones — to private stockholders who decide how those assets will be used — regardless of whether the asset happens to be schools, or hospitals, or land, or natural resources, or roads, or whatever. Anything can be privatized. Anything can be run by an elite, by an ‘owner.� ...

I have been spending the day studying. The issues of privacy and what lawyers call a "reasonable expectation of privacy" came up. A girlfriend of mine recently (just on a whim) did that thing where you can have your DNA tested by that organization called Ancestry--the purpose was to determine her ethnicity. (Her parents were both Italian immigrants and she herself was born in NYC.) Anyway, she paid about $100 and the test told her she was 70% Italian, 20% German, and 10% West Indian. The We ...

This report from the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism raises frightening questions about women returning from the ‘caliphate’—if they can return at all. Anne Speckhard, Ardian Shajkovci 08.21.17 1:00 AM ET Editor’s Note: As police tracked down the members of the cell that brought terror to Spain on Thursday, the names that surfaced were once again, predictably, all men, and mostly young ones. That’s the classic pattern with jihadis. But many counter ...

Just so you know a little of where the libs are coming from. Paranoia 2011: Beware of the Koch behind every bush By: Mark Tapscott 03/02/11 8:05 PM Editorial Page Editor William F. Buckley Jr. struck a blow for reason and truth when in 1962 as National Review editor he effectively excommunicated John Birch Society founder Robert Welch from the conservative movement. Welch had for a decade been telling anybody who would listen that President Eisenhower was a "dedicated, conscious ...

I will ban any post using the term "RepubliTards." And don't bother to post any kind of explanation or protest. If the term "DemaTards" was being used, I would respond exactly the same way, so you also don't have to post any comments regarding my political affiliation. End of story. Moderator ...

This is a good episode to watch. Is BM finally seeing the light? He states "Democrats (chuckles), their viewpoint on Obama seems to be God what he does would be awful if he was a republan". Another good point Tina Brown made was that Obama would be impeached if he was a republican. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ageMpEaVeo ...

Don't Believe The Debt Ceiling Hype: The Federal Government Can Survive Without An Increase Are you sure T-bills are considered a super-safe asset? Have you checked our credit rating lately? Ignore what you hear and read in the news. The federal government actually reached the legal debt ceiling about four months ago. Since then, the government has been financing its monthly budget deficit by stealing/borrowing money from other government funds, like the federal government employee ...

President Trump’s assertion that his phones at Trump Tower were tapped last year has been treated as hilarious—and in some circles as beyond contempt. But I can vouch for the fact that extracurricular surveillance does occur, regardless of whether it is officially approved. I was wiretapped in 2011 after taking a phone call in my congressional office from a foreign leader. That a secret recording had been made of this call was revealed to me by the Washington Times in 2015, a full two yea ...

They were taking comments on the shutdown through Facebook, tweets, on their site, and from phone calls. Believe it or not, so many were complaining about C-Span not being shut down because they didn't consider cameras in Congress or in committee meetins essential government employees! Hello? Just about every site you go to has a link "About Us" or something like that. Don't people read about the sites they visit? If those people would have read about C-Span, they would have fo ...
