Supreme Court to
review contraceptive coverage mandate
Excerpt: The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to consider a new
challenge to President Obama’s Affordable Care Act
and decide whether employers with religious objections may refuse to provide
their workers with mandated insurance coverage of contraceptives. The cases accepted by the court offer complex questions about
religious freedom and equality for female workers along with an issue the court
has not yet confronted: whether a secular, for-profit corporation is protected
by the Constitution or federal statute from complying with a law because of its
owners religious beliefs.
Another Way Taxpayers Lose Under Obamacare. By Bob Graboyes
Excerpt: State insurance commissioners have long seen
themselves as protectors of the public's wallets – the officials who say
"no" to insurers' requests to increase health insurance premiums. It
has not yet sunk in that on this coming New Year's Day, the Affordable Care Act
will flip the commissioners' motives upside-down, prompting them to approve and
even encourage premium increases.
Excerpt: No one has the right to sacrifice your life to save
someone else's life. No one has the right to harm your family to help someone
else's family. That's a bedrock principle in America . Until Obamacare. The
Democrats want a different America .
In the new America ,
you are expendable.
HealthCare.gov won't
be perfect on Dec. 1, administration says
Excerpt: Administration officials said Monday that some
visitors to ObamaCare's federal enrollment site would experience outages, slow
response times or messages to try again later during the month of
December. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) delivered
the message in the latest attempt to downplay expectations surrounding Nov. 30,
the administration's self-imposed deadline for fixing HealthCare.gov.
Excerpt: In Oregon ,
Obamacare is being called an "epic
failure" by lawmakers as the state-based exchange continues to fail.
It's been nearly two months since the pro-Obamacare state launched their state
based exchange site on October 1 and not a single person has been able to sign
up. Things have gotten so bad, paper applications and fax
machines were brought in to help expedite the process (yes,
you read that correctly).
Excerpt: Flash-forward to today — and flash-forward to the eight minute mark of this video, taken from today’s
edition of The Steve Malzberg Show on Newsmax TV, or simply click on
the version below, which is queued up to the point at which Mark Halperin
of Time magazine admits…The Affordable Care Act contains provisions
for “death panels,” which decide which critically-ill patients receive care and
which won’t, according to Mark Halperin, senior political analyst for Time
magazine. “It’s built into the plan.”
Democrats Fear
Obamacare Will Cost Them The Senate
Excerpt: Last week, President Obama's pollster Joel
Benenson sent a memo to
congressional Democrats encouraging them to refocus attention on the economy
and ignore the health care chaos that has consumed the administration for the
last two months. The three-page set of talking points argued that the media's relentless
focus on the Obamacare website is a "distraction" from more important
work on the minds of voters. But for Senate Democrats who backed the unpopular
legislation, avoiding the subject isn't so easy. (Oh, yes, pivot to the
wonderful economy, with well over 20% of the population unemployed,
under-employed or having given up looking. ~Bob)

Football versus War. By Robert A. Hall
Excerpt: An NFL team carries 53 players on it's roster,
slightly larger than an infantry platoon in the Marines or Army (if memory
serves). So lets compare a platoon in combat to a football game.
Excerpt: Many people take pride in defying the conventions
of society. Those conventions of society are also known as civilization.
Defying them wholesale means going back to barbarism. Barbarians with
electronic devices are still barbarians. (Yes, the "Random Thoughts"

Update: Angola
Excerpt: Angola

True: Hezbollah Says Nuclear Deal a Victory for Iran
Excerpt: Lebanon ’s
Hezbollah on Monday hailed a nuclear deal between its patron Iran and world powers as “a major victory” for Tehran . (You remember
Hezbollah? They are the group that temporarily gave up shelling Israel to fight to help Assad in Syria
against the al Qaeda-backed rebels we are helping. It's complicated. ~Bob)

Abject Surrender by the United States
Excerpt:
Iran retains its full capacity to enrich

Green Energy Is the
Real Subsidy Hog
Excerpt: Renewables receive three times as much money per
energy unit as fossil fuels, says Bjorn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center Spain spends about 1 percent of
gross domestic product throwing money at green energy such as solar and wind
power. The $11 billion a year is more than Spain spends on higher education. At
the end of the century, with current commitments, these Spanish efforts will
have delayed the impact of global warming by roughly 61 hours, according to the
estimates of Yale
University United States subsidizes fossil
fuels more heavily than green energy. Not so. The U.S. Energy Information Administration
estimated in 2010 that fossil-fuel subsidies amounted to $4 billion a year. Renewable
sources received more than triple that figure, roughly $14 billion.
Poor And Middle Class
Incomes Have Increased Significantly. By Scott Winship
Excerpt: The widely-cited Economic Policy Institute,
for instance, says median household income was just 5 percent higher in 2012
than in 1979 and that the poverty rate rose from 11.7 percent to 15.0
percent. Figures from the
Center on Budget and Policy Priority’s Jared Bernstein also show little to no
income growth for either the poor or the middle class. But these worrying
conclusions flow from problematic analyses. Contrary to conventional wisdom,
poor and middle class households are at least 30 percent richer today
than their counterparts from 35 years ago.
The New Segregation: Income is the new
boundary line in U.S.
Excerpt: If you divided American families into six graduated
income groups — poor, low-income, lower-middle, upper-middle, high-income, and
affluent — and took a trip in time back to the Age of Disco, you’d find that
nearly two-thirds of all American families lived in neighborhoods with median
incomes in the middle two groups: lower-middle and upper-middle. Return to the
present day, and you’ll find that fewer than half of American
families live in middle-income neighborhoods. Progressives wringing their hands
over consistently misinterpreted income figures need not go so far as Wall
Street boardrooms for evidence of the economic inequality that troubles them so
— they need only look next door.
Serial killer Joseph
Paul Franklin executed in Missouri
Excerpt: Missouri
corrections officials have executed Joseph Paul Franklin, a white supremacist
serial killer who targeted blacks and
Jews, including an interracial couple in Wisconsin . Franklin , an avowed white supremacist, was
convicted and sentenced to death for killing Gerald Gordon, 42, and wounding
two other men in a St. Louis-area synagogue parking lot in 1977. But he also
was linked to the deaths of at least 18 other people. (Good riddance. Been
happy to pull the switch myself. Those who say the death penalty only kills
blacks for killing whites take note. ~Bob.)
Car Crash Kills North Florida Tea Party Leader
Excerpt: Friends say Hunter was a Vietnam veteran
who later worked at defense contractor Lockheed Martin. Troopers say Hunter was
attempting to make a left turn on U.S. 441 and apparently did not see an
oncoming pickup truck, which struck Hunter's car on the driver's side. Hunter
was pronounced dead at the scene. The two occupants of the truck were
uninjured.
Dr. Nancy Snyderman
'in awe' of Israeli medics in Philippines
Excerpt: As we walked up to the tent where incoming
patients were being processed, I immediately saw the electronic medical
records technology that I had first seen in Haiti . Each patient’s medical
record is created using a photograph to ensure accurate identification. This is
especially important in these types of crisis situations. Language
barriers, loss of documentation and the fact that patients have arrived from
all over would result in a nightmare if the patients weren't properly
identified. Smart. Sophisticated. Secure. This was what I had experienced with
the IDF before. (They even do a fine job with medical records, without
HIPAA. Perhaps the Obama administration should look to little Israel for a
model. BTW, were the Iranians with their medical-enriched uranium anywhere to
be found? Cordially, Larry Greenberg. Charity is one of the Five Pillars
of Islam--but only for other Muslims. When the devastating floods ht Pakistan,
American aid was distributed to Muslims--but not to Christians, Hindus or even Ahmadiyya Muslims, a minority sect. See: http://www.news.va/en/news/asiapakistan-floods-in-sindh-aid-denied-to-christi

Good Column: The War on Human Nature. For nations as for
individuals, pretending self-interest doesn’t exist is perilous. By Victor Davis Hanson
Excerpt: A therapeutic sense of self-sacrifice is fine in
the abstract, but in the concrete such magnanimity causes far more harm to the
innocent than does a realistic appraisal of self-interest and a tragic
acceptance of the flawed nature of man. The theme of the present administration
is that it possesses the wisdom and resources to know better what people should
do than they do themselves. From that premise arose most of catastrophes that
have befallen this administration.

Means To ‘Fundamentally Transform’ America
Excerpt: Actually, Common Core supporters could be right in
one sense: Common Core is not so much about a nationalization of education as
it is part of a world-wide initiative that may ultimately serve to make
American values and practices secondary to global sharing. In 2004, Gates’
Microsoft Corporation signed a Cooperation Agreement with UNESCO to develop a “master
curriculum” which would include benchmarks and a testing program. …. The goal
is to create, through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) throughout
the globe, communities without borders, in a sense, so that all students around
the world are learning similar content and sharing knowledge. (Global
brainwashing by the Illuminati. You breed ‘em; they transform them…Barb)

A Weak Agreement
Likely to Get Worse. By Mark Dubowitz, Orde Kittrie
Excerpt: The Geneva deal
agreed to Sunday by six major powers with Iran is a gamble on Western
optimism. While slightly rolling back Iranian nuclear capability, the agreement
greatly weakens Western economic sanctions. Iranian sanctions-busters will be
in position to exploit the changing market psychology and newly created
pathways to reap billions of additional dollars in economic relief beyond those
projected by the Obama administration. The Geneva deal's provisions are too weak to
prevent Iranian physicists from making further nuclear progress in several key
areas
Excerpt: President Obama’s credibility problem has battered his
approval ratings, complicated his relationship with foreign allies and harmed
his party’s prospects in next year’s midterm elections. But the decline in the
public’s opinion of his trustworthiness presents a particular set of challenges
for his diplomacy with Iran, highlighted this weekend by
an agreement that will temporarily freeze the country’s nuclear program in
exchange for limited sanctions relief.

Worth Reading
Excerpt: British exceptionalism, like its American cousin,
has traditionally been held to reside in a series of values and institutions:
personal liberty, free contract, jury trials, uncensored newspapers, regular
elections, habeas corpus, open competition, secure property, religious
pluralism. The conceit of our era is to assume that these ideals are somehow
the natural condition of an advanced society—that all nations will get around
to them once they become rich enough and educated enough. In fact, these ideals
were developed overwhelmingly in the language in which you are reading these
words. You don't have to go back very far to find a time when freedom under the
law was more or less confined to the Anglosphere: the community of
English-speaking democracies. (You may have to Google the title. ~Bob)
