Paying terrorism’s bills

That’s us, the last-to-know, first-to-go American taxpayer, who is taken for a ride by every pol with an agenda. And Obamalot’s agenda is “the peace process” which isn’t a process and after decades of diddling hasn’t produced any peace.

So now it’s going to foot the bills for the terrorist group Hamas.

“…American taxpayers…will now be directly covering the salaries of thousands of card-carrying members of a terrorist organization. It’s not just Obama who will be crossing a red line by funding Hamas—he’s dragging the rest of us along with him into a political and moral swamp, in which America will combat terrorism with one hand, while paying for terror with the other.”

Which leaves only Congress to stop this appeasement madness. The fox guarding the hen house. Oh, yeah, that’ll work.

Fish story

If the Californicators coming here in droves seem to prefer our drought to the California one, maybe it’s because we’re not helping the feds ship water to fish that could go for people and crops.

The next time you hear a Democrat complain about how climate change (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat party) is adding to the California drought, remember this fish story.

It will remind you you’re not hearing genuine concern, only the usual political humbug.

The Choom Gang in the White House

Wormtongue in an April speech:

“We are here today because we know we cannot be complacent. History travels not only forwards, but backwards and sideways.”

Proof positive that he really is stoned.

UPDATE:  When you’re high, it’s hard to remember what to keep others from doing.

The VA scandal

I like to read the Wall Street Journal’s Best of The Web Today, which yesterday had a good rejoinder to one Democrat’s questionable concern:

“‘As troubling as some of these allegations are, this controversy presents an opportunity for the administration,’ Waldman continues. ‘This isn’t some kind of phony scandal like Benghazi: it’s a real issue with real consequences.’

“Christopher Stevens could not be reached for comment.”

These VA scandals come and go. The hospitals were not originally intended to treat all veterans exclusively but only those unable to pay for their health care. Nowadays, the pols are sending many career retirees to the VA on top of everyone else and the load, of course, is overwhelming.

Mrs. Charm always says “Go get your free hearing aids.” I never have because I can afford to buy them and don’t want to add to the problems of those veterans who can’t.

The Democrats’ science is settled

Hey, the First Church of Global Warming-Climate-Change-what-have-you, a  wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, says it’s settled. Let the burgeoning regulations and higher taxes begin. We have to kill more jobs to save humanity. Dissent will be punished. Undoubtedly by the Democrat IRS.

Trey Gowdy kicks butt

Wormtongue’s, certainly. And Princess Benghazi’s, as well. But, also, bless his heart, the dumb-dumb-we’re-all-asleep-here Democrat news media. This will be the best 3:26 you will ever spend: Sic ’em.

Via Mouth of The Brazos.

UPDATE:  The violent Left already is threatening Gowdy’s life, probably for fear he’ll expose Democrat smuggling of arms to Al Q.

The “declining unemployment” shuck

If you believe the feds, and Associated Press apparently does since it doesn’t even bother to source its claim of 6.3 percent unemployment until the fourth paragraph, things are looking up:

Employers added 288,000 jobs across industries from manufacturing to construction to accounting. Even local governments hired. The unemployment rate sank to 6.3 percent, its lowest point since 2008, from 6.7 percent.”

You’d be better off reading the DrudgeReport which gives the AP/Feds claim third place after “92,594,000 Americans Not Working Hits Record” and “Women Not In Labor Force Hits Record High.”

The first is from cBS’s DC affiliate, which notes: “The [6.3 percent] occurred because the number of people working or seeking work fell. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not count people not looking for a job as unemployed.”

Isn’t that convenient?

The second headline is from the Media Research Center’s CNS News: “This means that there were 55,116,000 women 16 and older who were in the civilian noninstitutional population who not only did not have a job, they did not actively seek one in the last four weeks. That is up 428,000 from the 54,688,000 women who were not in the labor force in March.”

An increase of 428,000 unemployed women alone is a bit higher than the AP/Fed’s 288,000 rosy uptick glow.

Does anyone trust the feds anymore?

UPDATE:  The new D.C. Walmart got 23,000 applications for 600 jobs.
