Sandy Hook Bill Had $60 Billion In Pork Added By TheOct 06, 2015
tried to separate the actually bill from the 85% pork added to it by the Democrats. Now, they are trying to claim the Republicans "withheld funding" to use as an excuse not to fund South Carolina, which is a conservative stronghold, since New Jersey is blue. Democrats politicians were standing on the bodies of the dying and the graves of the dead to pick our pockets. That bill included funding for commercial fisheries disasters for as far away as American Samoa. To claim republicans wer ...
OP ReportSep 02, 2012
Just had a MT who use to be my supervisor a few years back send me the following in an e-mail: Thought you all would get a kidk out of this. How come I never get any OP notes this interesting?

Must say, I feel like they thought they were on an African Safari instead of doing surgery. ...
The Kudlow ReportMar 25, 2011
They were all talking about the fact that gold and oil are so high traditionally means that the economy is in a disaster. As one of them put it, "This is not a good situation for the Wal-Mart shopper. It's a bull market for the rich." He went on to talk about how the rich are doing better than ever, buying luxury goods, but consumer discretionary is not looking good and there is a 13% unemployment rate, for example, for the single mom, etc. ...

What ABC Left Out Of Its Report...May 10, 2013
Sharing some perspective on the Benghazi coverage. "...absent in ABC’s report is the key point that Obama and various members of his administration referred to the Benghazi assault as a terror attack on numerous occasions shortly after the incident...." "In other words, ABC’s 'exclusive' reveals a turf battle, not some cover-up. As it turns out, the story is more about how talking points are generated in the interagency process." The links at the end of the the piece - ...

Report Mom For Welfare Fraud?Oct 10, 2011
My husband's mother has received welfare on and off throughout her life. She has always found a way to milk the system or somone. About a year ago, she found out she was the heir to some mineral rights, which yields her about $7000 a month. When she first started receiving this inheritance, she cashed her checks and deposited them into her account. At that time, she was living in a low-income apartment, receiving medicaid, food stamps, fuel assistance, free cell ...
Occupy Report CardMay 03, 2012
This is funny! http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/02/occupy-may-day-report-card Occupy May Day Report Card: FAIL by Lee Stranahan 1 day ago Well, Occupy’s big May Day demonstration has come and gone. How did they do? Here’s my take; please add your own in comments. Attendance : D+ For an event literally months in the making, the crowd turnout was weak coast to coast. I’m being a fair standard here; compared to other Occupy events from last fall, the nu ...
Fast And Furious Report:Sep 19, 2012
How can a report be neutral if the IG works for the DOJ? They state the reason, but we will just have to wait until others read the 500-page report and report the details. I downloaded the report but won't have time to dig into it today. There is no evidence that Attorney General Eric Holder and high-ranking officials at the Justice Department knew that guns were allowed to “walk” during an ATF operation known as Fast and Furious, according to a report released on Wednesda ...
Did Obama Under-report His Income Sep 22, 2012
Normally, I wouldn’t post anything older than the past 2 years but this article is REALLY interesting. It was only uploaded in July of this year. Aw, but it’s probably an honest error since he was a greenhorn(?) back in 2004 and wasn’t aware that he was breaking the law. Did Barack Obama Underreport His Income to IRS? Douglas A. Thompson President Barack Obama released his recent personal finance records in 2008, which included his 2004 U.S. Individual Income T ...
Before I Go, I Just Gotta Leave You All With This ReportFeb 13, 2013
REBUTTING OBAMA’S ** ABOUT ENERGY President Obama’s discussion last night of “energy” was dishonest even by his standards. After briefly citing the nation’s energy gains under his administration, he turned to “climate change,” using a few quirky weather events as the springboard for advocating more federal regulation of the economy. Ben Cole of the Institute for Energy Research has offered a forceful and, I think, largely meritorious response to Obama& ...

Totally Unrelated To Politics (so Report Me! Hee)Mar 01, 2013
I used to be an astrology fan but don't give much credence to it anymore, figure it's mostly just ideas of reference and self-fulfilling synchronicity, but the effects of Mercury Retrograde, on communication in particular, is the one aspect of it that I just can't let go of yet. Especially since it's uncanny how often I can just "tell" one is happening or about to be happening, like now. Forewarned is forearmed. Me, I'm just going to go sit on my thumbs ...
Watchdog Report: US Spent Too Much $ In IraqMar 07, 2013
I'm all for rebuilding after we've devestated a country, but there has to be a way to do it without wasting billions of dollars. And frankly, we should have never invaded Iraq anyway. "The war in Iraq cost about $800 billion, and Wednesday's report from Bowen could portend what lies ahead for the U.S. in Afghanistan, where it is also engaged in reconstruction and has spent $90 billion." ...
