Filed Under Economy | 46 Comments

For now this is a private program, but don’t think for a second that it isn’t perking up the ears of the welfare state proponents in Washington, DC: If you are struggling to buy food and supplies for your pets, there may be help for you. Pets are like members of the family, so when […]

Chuck Hagel was confirmed as defense secretary yesterday 58 to 41. Only four Republicans voted in favor of confirmation.

Well, at Least We Got Through The Oscars Without Having to See One of the Oba…. Never Mind

Filed Under Celebrity Idiots, Politics | 50 Comments

I suppose it does make sense that one of the Obamas should feel compelled to make an appearance as a thank-you.

For a few months up to now, President Obama’s Cabinet members had been kept under wraps as far as talking about the effects the looming sequestration could have on the day-to-day lives of Americans.

Filed Under Economy, Moonbats, Science & Nature | 17 Comments

I have to admit that the “climate change” sham is brilliantly devised. If it’s colder than normal, that’s evidence of man-caused climate change.

Barack ‘the Sequester is the Fault of Republicans’ Obama in 2011: I Will Veto Any Efforts to Undo the Sequester

Filed Under Economy, Politics | 36 Comments

As evidenced in his speech yesterday, President Obama continues to blame the upcoming “sequester” cuts on Republicans, while warning of dire consequences: Surrounding himself with a group of emergency responders whose jobs he said are on the line, Obama said the looming “sequester” of $85 billion would weaken national defense, disaster response, health care, education, […]
