Three businessmen in fantasyland

Under the headline, Break the Immigration Impasse, three gentlemen from the world of business took on the United States Congress in space graciously provided by The New York Times, a liberal publication always willing to bash Republicans.

“The three of us vary in our politics and would differ also in our preferences about the details of an immigration reform bill,” wrote Sheldon G. Adelson, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, “But we could without a doubt come together to draft a bill acceptable to each of us.”  Sure you could.  Now bring in 532 other business colleagues and let’s take a look at that bill.

Keying on the defeat of Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor as the reason immigration reform became hopeless, the trio criticized the 535 members of Congress for not coming together on immigration. They wrote, “Americans deserve better than this,” adding that “Most Americans believe that our country has clear and present interest in enacting immigration legislation …”

Really?  If that were so, why did immigration rank so low when Americans were asked about the most important problems facing the country today in the Quinnipiac University poll conducted earlier this month?  Immigration garnered just four percent. Continue reading →

Great Lakes ice-cover cyclical

As a native of Michigan, I found it interesting to note the misinformation on Great Lakes ice-cover published by the government in the latest National Climate Assessment.

It further supports my view that billions of dollars are wasted by government climate change studies, touched on in my post, Climate change to cause civil and political unrest, July 6, 2014.… read more

D’Souza’s “America” worth seeing

america-dvd-case-noshadow-270x500I saw Dinesh D’Souza’s latest movie, America, Imagine the World Without Her, yesterday and highly recommend it to you.  It’s in a theater near you, I’m sure.  If you saw D’Souza’s first documentary, 2016, Obama’s America, you will be equally impressed with this film.

Invite a low-information friend to join you or take your kids, especially teenagers; those home from college.

Kagan’s liberal view of justice

While writing my previous blog on the 5-4 Supreme Court Hobby Lobby decision I was reminded of an earlier decision by Justice Elena Kagan,  one of those liberals who opposed it.  She failed to recuse herself in March of 2012, when the Court considered the constitutionality of ObamaCare.

Despite Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts’ focus on recusals during his year-end annual report, when he acknowledged that while the Code of Conduct for United States judges applies to all federal judges except Supreme Court justices, she failed to do so. … read more

Why regaining the senate is so vital

The 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court in the so-called Hobby Lobby case should serve as a wake-up call for conservatives who still haven’t understood the importance of gaining Republican control of the Senate in the mid-term elections this fall.

If you needed a clearer reminder why a Republican senate is so imperative, the vote in opposition by liberals on the Court, including Obama appointees Elena Kagan and Sonya Sotomayor, is it.  Continued Democrat control of the senate will assure the nomination of left-leaning individuals should one or more vacancies occur during the remainder of Obama’s term.

Regular readers of this blog know that I have been reminding you that we need to win six seats in November, most likely in Arkansas, Montana, Louisiana, South Dakota, North Carolina and West Virginia, where incumbent Democrats are most vulnerable.

Fox’s Bill Reilly captured my thoughts so powerfully that they are quoted here today. (blogs.wsj.com)

From time to time I happen to be on the same page with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly and, his June 30, 2014 Talking Points on this subject was one of those occasions.  It was refreshing because most of the media is inaccurately reporting the implications of the Court decision.  And, I noted Hillary Clinton, speaking in Aspen, also misinterpreted the decision; undoubtedly to support her “war on women” agenda.

“The Obama administration wants all corporations to fund things like the morning after pill, which many religious Americans believe is an abortion-inducing medication,” said O’Reilly, but adds, “the national media did not report that … (continuing) to say the Hobby Lobby case is about birth control per se, which it is not.”

Disturbed by the Court opinion of the four liberal justices, O’Reilly states they “apparently believe that American taxpayers should fund abortions.”  Noting the fact that religious freedom is a hallmark of the Constitution, he points to the liberal vote as contradicting the Constitution, and “that’s frightening.” Continue reading →
