Some Presidents - Briefly. By Andy Weddington
Excerpt:
This morning's brief commentary awakened me from sleep
(this morning). As best I recall and in keeping with Mr. Pulitzer's opening
thought ... "Put it
briefly before them so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it,
picturesquely so they will remember it, and, above all, accurately so they will
be guided by its light."

Interior Secretary to Dying Eskimos: "I've listened to your stories, now I
have to listen to the animals." By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: King George III was a tyrant who talked to trees. Eventually we got around to replacing him with tyrants who talk to animals. In one of Alaska ’s most remote

blocking construction of an 11-mile gravel trail connecting a tiny fishing
hamlet to a life-saving airport.

tend to steal their drug money, if they can't sell their bodies. ~Bob)
After Repeal of
Obamacare: Moving to Patient-Centered, Market-Based Health Care
Abstract: Obamacare moves American health care in the wrong
direction by eroding the doctor–patient relationship, centralizing control, and
increasing health costs. True health care reform would empower individuals,
with their doctors, to make their own health care decisions free from
government interference. Therefore, Obamacare should be stopped and fully
repealed. Then Congress and the states should enact patient-centered,
market-based reforms that better serve Americans. For a better life, Americans
need a health care system that they, not the government, control. (Very well
thought out ideas on how to really give Americans a better health plan. --Del )

Reid stops
minimum-wage hike bill after Dems balk
Excerpt: So much for changing the narrative in 2014 from the
ObamaCare debacle. Democrats, led by Barack Obama, planned to go on offense
over the minimum-wage rate to cast the GOP as heartless. But in his rush to the
barricades, Harry Reid belatedly discovered that his caucus didn’t like the fight nearly as much as he
and Obama did (via Instapundit):
Excerpt: “The Hindus are lacing it with pig’s blood to send
us all to hell.” That people believe this kind of thing is amazing in itself,
but it is encouraged in the mosques, where hatred and contempt of the
unbelievers, the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6) is inculcated on a
regular basis. Muslim leaders in Pakistan bear the responsibility,
as they do not confront this hatred or do anything to stop it.
Excerpt: In a recent TV interview, Behrouz Kamalvandi,
spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said that Iran had “got
more than it gave” in the Joint Plan of Action, signed in November by Iran and
the 5+1, and that Iran’s nuclear commitments were “temporary and
non-obligatory.” “The commitments made by Iran can be retracted,” he
stressed.
Excerpt: Five years after the passage of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the biggest fiscal stimulus in the nation’s
history, the debate over its success hasn’t changed very much. ... All of this
should sound rather familiar to those who’ve followed the stimulus debate,
because it’s more or less what the two parties have been saying for years. One
reason why I suspect the debate has changed so little is that it’s very hard to
determine with great certainty what, exactly, the stimulus really did. That’s
why I think the best way to judge the stimulus as a whole is to say that we
don’t really know how well it worked—but that it didn’t live up to some of the
promises that were made when it was passed.

Excerpt: The oil and gas boom is producing millions of jobs,
and not just where you might expect. Employment is up 40% in the oil and gas
fields since the recession began in late 2007. But in every one of the 10
states where hydrocarbon production is on the rise, overall employment growth
has outperformed the nation. (Obama opposes this but takes credit for the job
growth. ~Bob)

There's been a serious expansion of the
Medicaid program recently, which Mr. Obama has hailed as more people getting
good heath care than ever before. But the program is not exactly free, or
free of problems. It's been sold on the basis of a bunch of ideas that
turn out to be myths. Here they are explained.
10 Myths About the
Obamacare Medicaid Expansion
As Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion is being debated in the
states, many myths are being perpetuated by its advocates. Here, Heritage
provides the research to debunk such myths:
1. Myth: Expanding Medicaid is “free money” for the
states. Reality: The expansion adds an estimated $638 billion
in new government spending from 2013–2023. New spending at the federal or state
level is reckless in light of the country’s trillion dollar budget deficits and
over $16 trillion in national debt. (So it becomes clear that adding many
millions to Medicaid is not really a great solution to social problems, and we
can extrapolate that to the expansion of Food Stamps as well. These
programs start out with a good idea, but when overdone, they just freeze people
into what we call poverty in this country, and discourage some from really
seeking to improve themselves while allowing others to take advantage of social
programs so as to lead less stressful lives, not worrying about every doing any
better. I'm not sure that is what even generous Americans want their tax
dollars to be doing. --Del )

Activist Makes His Own List: The Home Addresses of CT Legislators Who Just
Voted in Favor of Gun Control
Excerpt:
Sometimes you just have to fight fire with fire. And that is exactly what Mike
Vanderboegh has chosen to do. The state of Connecticut wants to make a list – a list of
gun owners. So, Vanderboegh has created his own list – a list of those
state legislators who are insisting that certain firearms be banned or
registered. If you recall, most of the gun owners who own these weapons
have refused to register them, with tens of thousands of residents
engaging in an act of quiet civil disobedience.
Dear
New York Times: Self-Defense is Not Vigilantism. By David French
Excerpt:
Over at the New York Times ”Opinionator”
blog, Firmin DeBrander, an associate professor
at the Maryland Institute College of Art, takes issue with a post I wrote last year outlining
the biblical and natural-law right of self-defense. My argument
was rather simple: From the Noahic Covenant to
the New Testament, there were ample biblical examples of self-defense being not
only permitted but in some cases actually mandated. I also – borrowing
from Jim Lindgren’s excellent
work at the Volokh Conspiracy — quoted John Locke for
the proposition that the right of self defense wasn’t just a biblical right but
a right located in natural law.

"Us
as New York City
Excerpt:
Never mind, college will teach them how to read and write. Eighty
percent of NYC graduates need to take remedial classes when they enter CUNY.
This is why it is so important for our federal overlords to ensure that all
Americans go to college. Obama
nationalized the student loan industry to facilitate this objective.
By the way, New York City public schools spend $10,560 per pupil per year. What do you need an education for
when you can bring in that kind of money with a babysitting service?
ObamaCare
Stars Fade. By Johnathan Easley and Elise Viebeck
Excerpt:
It seems that not even the president’s most fervent and committed supporters
want to get too close to ObamaCare. Some of Obama’s most powerful allies —
figures including Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé — have stayed in
the wings for the enrollment push. Less than a year ago, Jennifer Hudson, Amy
Poehler, and representatives for Winfrey and Alicia Keys were guests at the
White House to discuss a strategy to promote the healthcare law.
Fat
Cats and Democrats. By Bruce Thornton
Excerpt:
MIT professor Noam Chomsky, for example, one of the most prominent left-wing
critics of America
In the Wall Street Journal, scientists condemn
“spectacularly wrong” climate forecasting: Richard McNider and John Christy
declare the climate consensus mistaken and scientific legitimacy misattributed.
Excerpt: “The truth, and this is frustrating for
policy-makers,” declared John
Christy in Nature four years ago, “is that scientists’ ignorance of
the climate system is enormous.” Now he and fellow climate scientist Richard
McNider have argued in the Wall Street Journal that widespread,
perverse disregard of gross climate-modeling deficiencies is leading to
acceptance of huge overestimates of warming, to needless regulation, to social
harm, and to a clear need to invert common belief about climate-science
legitimacy. ... Both authors are fellows of the American Meteorological
Society. Both rank as distinguished professors at the University
of Alabama in Huntsville . (They should know the penalty for
blasphemy is death. In this case, probably academic death and funding death.
More would speak, but the dollars would stop. ~Bob)
McNider and Christy:
Why Kerry Is Flat Wrong on Climate Change
Excerpt: In a Feb. 16 speech in Indonesia , Secretary of State
John Kerry assailed
climate-change skeptics as members of the "Flat Earth Society" for
doubting the reality of catastrophic climate change. ... But who are the Flat
Earthers, and who is ignoring the scientific facts? In ancient times, the
notion of a flat Earth was the scientific consensus, and it was only a minority
who dared question this belief. We are among today's scientists who are skeptical
about the so-called consensus on climate change.
Parts of Britain
Excerpt: Parts of Britain have become
"unrecognisable" due to mass immigration, the leader of the
eurosceptic UK Independence Party told activists in a rallying cry ahead of
European elections in May. Nigel Farage, speaking at UKIP's spring conference
in Torquay on Friday, claimed the opening the UK's borders to migrants from new
EU members in eastern Europe had damaged social cohesion across the country.

(The Islamic Republic
of) Mauritania
Excerpt: The United Nations envoy on modern-day slavery said
on Thursday Mauritania had agreed to adopt a roadmap for eradicating the trade,
which campaigners say remains widespread in the west African nation. The
country was the last in the world to abolish slavery, in 1981, and since 2012
its practice has been officially designated a crime, but campaigners say the
government has failed in the past to acknowledge the extent of the trade, with
no official data available.
