Happy Thanksgiving (and Happy Hanukah to those celebrating
it). Despite everything, including much of the news below, we still have much
to be thankful for and should have grateful hearts.

Guest Post: I Was Hacked Again
Good warning for computer users. ~Bob
Important: Administration announces new delay in
online enrollment for small businesses
Excerpt: In another delay for the health care law and
another sign of problems with its central website, the Obama administration
announced a day before the Thanksgiving holiday that it would push off online
enrollment for small businesses by another year. The Department of Health
and Human Services said Wednesday that it will delay the launch of the online
SHOP Marketplace -- which is meant for small businesses -- until November
2014. Critics said the move would create more "onerous"
paperwork for job creators. (Until after the election. For "settled
law," he sure changes it a lot. ~Bob)
Obamacare & the
hidden message
Excerpt: This is a really fascinating video. Watch a
congressman question one of the implementers of Obamacare. Anyone who values
their privacy should watch this video. The government is hiding this from the
citizens while requiring them to sign up for ObamaCare. The woman being
questioned here is the woman who owns the company that got the multi-HUNDRED
million dollar contract from the Obama administration to design the computer
system for signing up for "Obamacare." Her company has a record of
past failures in setting up large computer systems. Her company has again
failed terribly in setting up the Obamacare system. She is a close friend of
Michelle Obama, and was Michelle's classmate at Princeton .
Democrats eagerly
seeking signs of success with health-care law
Excerpt: The political battle over the future of the national
health-care law is about to become a media faceoff between Republican
accounts of mishap and failure vs. Democratic stories that hint at eventual
success. In a pre-Thanksgiving messaging memo, Democratic senators are being
urged to use the holiday break to find success stories and “aggressively
publicize them so that people can see the law is delivering on its promise.”
Least Sympathetic Obamacare Victims…Ever. By Daniel J. Mitchell
Excerpt: Yet even though I am brimming with empathy for the
victims of Obamacare, there is one group that is suffering and I can say
without hesitation or reservation that the people affected don’t tug on my
heart strings or engender feelings of sympathy.
The Number:
157,000,000 from The Patriot Post
According to the Federal Register listing of Obama
administration rules and regulations -- posted on 17 June 2010 -- the number of
small employer insurance policies subject to O'Care cancellation is 76%. The
number of large employer policies subject to O'Care cancellation is 55%. The
grand total of employer-provided insurance cancellations due to ObamaCare is
now estimated to be 157 million policies. No wonder the Demos changed the
Senate rules so they could stack the DC Circuit Court with their own
ideological regulatory gate keepers. The chances of Demos retaining the Senate
in 2014 continue to narrow.
Give back my health
care policy. By Sharon B. Ingerson
Excerpt: I am a 41-year-old woman with three children (one
with moderate-severe autism and mental retardation). ... The new Obamacare
plans are worse in every regard. They are not better and I do not save $2,500,
as President Obama promised so many times. Here is the closest plan to mine:
$3,250 deductible (worse), $6,500 family deductible (worse), and the premium is
an outrageous $674 per month (far worse).
True, this: The Bad-Faith Presidency. By Rich Lowry
Excerpt: At the end of the day, the root of President
Obama’s mendacity on Obamacare was simple: He didn’t dare tell people how the
law would work. He couldn’t tell people how the law would work. Forthrightness
was the enemy. It served no useful purpose and could only bring peril, and
potentially defeat. It had to be banished. Instead of candor, Obama made the
sale on the basis of dubious blandishments and outright deceptions.
‘Non-partisan’ group paid $1 million to produce positive
Obamacare stories. By Joe Schoffstall
Excerpt: With the roll out of Obamacare being as disastrous
as possible for the Obama administration, one group was given a $1 million
grant to help lead a rebranding effort with hopes of salvaging the law in
the eyes of the American people.
Obamacare's Healthcare
for the Holidays Website
Somehow they
managed to meet the deadline for getting that website to work. A healthy society
does not feature a leader who sends messages to
his followers, asking them to make a pledge to have a conversation with their
families about his agenda at Thanksgiving. This is cult-like. -- Jim Geraghty, Morning Jolt
As In Every Year
Past, Obama's Elder Minions Urge Lesser Minions to Fight With Their Families At
Thanksgiving Dinners
Excerpt: It truly is insidious, I think, this devotion to
cause such that one would seriously -- earnestly! -- urge others to fight with
family in order to advance a political goal. It's not just about the casual
denigration of the family in favor of the Real Family, which is of course
like-minded socialists in the Progressive Cult. It is that, but it's not just
that. (If you like your friendly Thanksgiving dinner conversation, you can keep
it. Period. ~Bob)
Good Column: 9 things conservatives need to know
about ObamaCare (going forward). By Matt K. Lewis
http://dailycaller.com/2013/11/25/9-things-conservatives-need-to-know-about-obamacare-going-forward/
http://dailycaller.com/2013/11/25/9-things-conservatives-need-to-know-about-obamacare-going-forward/
Excerpt: There are many important facets to understand about
ObamaCare going forward, but here are 9 important things conservatives probably need to
understand:
1. Health Care has always been a Democratic issue
because they had the great sob stories. But for the first time, we are
beginning to see sob stories about people who’ve been screwed
by government.
Another ObamaCare Anecdote With Cancer Loses Coverage
Excerpt: Fishericks is battling kidney cancer, and while one
of the benefits of ObamaCare was supposed to be that people with pre-existing
conditions could not be denied insurance, those who already had it are losing
it. As with Fishericks, the policies they liked and helped to keep them alive
have been decreed "substandard" and must be replaced with compliant
and more expensive policies the Obama administration considers
"better."
A Plea to Avoid Crush
of Users at Health Site
Excerpt: White House officials, fearful that the federal
health care website may again be overwhelmed this weekend, have urged their
allies to hold back enrollment efforts so the insurance marketplace does not
collapse under a crush of new users. At the same time, administration officials
said Tuesday that they had decided not to inaugurate a big health care
marketing campaign planned for December out of concern that it might drive too
many people to the still-fragile HealthCare.gov.

Medical Database Nightmare Just Happened to My Daughter
Excerpt: With this system in place, you can kiss your HIPPA

Last week, we heard from our youngest daughter that she was
receiving doctor’s bills from a doctor she’s never seen. Some of the bills were
from visits earlier this year and because they have not been paid, her credit
score has been dinged.
Excerpt: The Affordable Care Act’s Hindenburg-like debut has
been characterized a series of spectacular failures, the latest being an
attempt by PresidentBarack Obama’s political arm, Organizing for America,
to furnish their followers with effective pro-ACA talking points.
This army of true believers was instructed to bombard their unsuspecting kin
with counterpoints to deflect the unceasing stream of bad ACA news screaming at

Excerpt: The searches are conducted without warrants — unless the targeted individuals refuse to cooperate, in which case the raiders will “seek a warrant and lock down the house until they get results.” California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed a bill that will use a $24 million surplus from firearms purchase fees to hire 36 new jackboots for the squad.

CIA turned some Guantanamo Bay
Excerpt: In the early years after Sept. 11, 2001, the CIA
turned some Guantanamo Bay prisoners into double agents, sending them home
to help the United States
kill terrorists, current and former U.S. officials said. The CIA
promised the prisoners freedom, safety for their families and millions of
dollars from the agency’s secret accounts. It was a gamble. Officials knew
there was a chance that some prisoners might quickly spurn their deal and kill
Americans.
Excerpt: The U.S.

in the next two decades, amid booming

to $128 a barrel by 2035 with a 16 percent increase in consumption supporting
the development of so-called tight oil in the U.S.
and a tripling in output from Brazil ,
the International Energy Agency said today in its annual World Energy
Outlook.
Global effects of unorthodox monetary policies. By Desmond Lachman
Excerpt: In the aftermath of the Great Recession, major
central banks have scrambled to support economic recovery and to avoid
deflation through highly accommodative and unorthodox monetary policy stances.
Although relatively successful in the short term, these policies have given
rise to incipient asset- and credit-market bubbles and to spillover effects on
the emerging-market economies, which could threaten the longer-run world
economic outlook. Going forward, these central banks need to be very much more
mindful than they have been to date of the longer-term unintended consequences
of their policy actions.
Excerpt: If you find it perplexing that a liberal Democrat
would take that position, you are probably too young to remember that for most
of the 20th century the Democratic Party was the party of war. The Republican
Party was the party of peace. In fact, a not inconsiderable faction of the
Republican Party was downright isolationist. Our anti-communist, Cold War
foreign policy was almost completely shaped by Democrats

many employers complain that they can't find qualified candidates for the jobs

as it can into its cause. Wealth redistribution gave the left a firm grip on

Amazon Goes Postal.
By Stella Paul
Excerpt: The bride was gorgeous; the groom was old and
arthritic, and everyone agreed they were an odd match. When Amazon married the
United States Postal Service for its new Sunday package delivery
service, who got the better deal? Most people probably would pick USPS, the
quasi-government agency operating with all the fiscal sanity of Obamacare.
Prevented by Congress from implementing cost-cutting measures, USPS has lost a
staggering $45 billion since 2007, and already has defaulted three times on its
obligations. Its business model is kaput; first-class mail volume decreased by
30 percent over seven years, and the future looks even more bleak.
Good Column: Is It Too Soon To Say "I Told You
So"? By Ann Coulter
Excerpt: In Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's very first year in

drop in crime with an article titled, "New York City Crime Falls But Just
Why Is a Mystery." By Giuliani's last year in office, there were only 714
murders in the entire city, a drop of 64 percent from Dinkins' personal best.
By continuing Giuliani's aggressive crime policies, Mayor Michael Bloomberg got
the murder rate for 2012 down to 419 in a city of 8 million people.
Obama says his
policies are built on ‘kindness.’ By Neil Munro
Excerpt: One day after a new poll showed that only a
minority of Americans trust President Barack Obama, the president told an
audience that his policies are based on kindness. “Kindness covers all of my
political beliefs,” Obama told his audience of wealthy investors, high-tech
donors, journalists and fellow Democrats Tuesday, only two months after
he slashed at GOP legislators, calling them arsonists,
nuclear blackmailers, economic wreckers, hostage-takers, obsessives and
irresponsible extremists. (Ah, semantics. Hitler was “kind” to all those Jews
he ordered in the ovens and gas showers to relieve their misery. DHS and Soc
Sec buying all that ammo, CDC all those syringes, DHS making sure each
community has an armored surplus half-track/tank for “emergency law
enforcement” and spraying all that stuff in the air daily is “kind” to the
peons and sheeple. What plans he makes and webs he weaves to be “kind.” Anyone
else believe this spiel for LaLaLand of Hollywood progressives/Marxists? Really
kind that you don’t have a job, can’t find one and if you had one, you may lose
it because of Obamacare. Really kind that old people are just extra garbage to
be sent to a group home for elimination; get their estates and get rid of them
soon; higher profit margin. Some nursing homes have been doing this for years. Suffering
with cancer or a rare genetic disorder? Isn’t it more kind to eliminate your
misery and just not renew your insurance (can’t say “cancel it”) or
disenfranchise the facility providing your care if top quality in favor of
cheaper, poorer care providers? Welcome to “what’s in it.” Crimes against the
people….how kind of Reid, Pelosi, Holder, Democrats and their ilk. You are
seeing the transformation to a Marxist state, a command economy, where an
oligarch or dictator rules always at the expense of the many whose lives and properties
and freedoms are forfeit. Whimper and enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving for all the
bountiful blessings bequeathed to the sheeple out of “kindness.” --Barb.

States, including private and public lakes, ponds and streams.” (Why

quality, decrease healthcare costs and emergency room visits, and leave the

by the Department of Injustice and many communities who are ignoring it and not
naming it for the sadistic premeditated assault that it is. They should be
careful, for what is put out in the Universe will return unto them… sometimes
