FRIDAY, WOOOO!

I missed this one while I was gone: "McConnell was the Ted Cruz of campaign finance laws."

On Obamacare: "They have a lot more information than they're letting on," one industry source said of the Obama administration.

Et tu, NYTimes? "The defeat was devastating at a time when Democrats are desperate to change the prevailing story line that 2014 could cost them the Senate, with the House already out of reach."

I did happen to see some of this insane story on Twitter yesterday. The short version: (1) Pro-abortion activists chanted "Hail Satan" at a protest. (2) Sen. Cruz tells the Susan B. Anthony List gala that pro-abortion activists chanted "Hail Satan" at a protest. (3) AP's hack reporter Philip Elliott reports that Sen. Cruz called abortion supporters "Satan worshipers." What a douchebag. AP grudgingly issued a correction by early evening, although the correction isn't much better than the original misleading piece.

The podcast will be up later.

Have a great weekend.

51 'morning, acers et ettes While China's bubble keeps falling, they can't say Li didn't tell them to back off their "investment" speculation some time ago. So, gotta wonder. Is China's government going to "nationalize" bankrupted corporations, cut to the chase? I think that's outmoded, especially given that's what Obama began his administration doing: dissolving contract law with an executive order or something. Rather, I'd anticipate more conservative Chinese investors gobbling up the foolish speculators who played the idjits swallowing the "Debt Is Gold" hook line and sinker. Capitalism: when the Communist globalists do it better than Americans, 'Houston, we have a problem.' Anyway, we'll see. -- Premier Li Keqiang told lenders to China's private sector factories they should expect debt defaults as the world's second largest economy encounters "serious challenges" in the year ahead.

69 I just read that WT article about the corruption investigations into Reid and Lee and those two shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. A short sale must be arranged through the mortgage holder in advance. The mortgage holder agrees to a short sale based upon market conditions and determines an acceptable market value. Whether a campaign contributor or an unknown then took advantage of the deal is irrelevant. Renting his next residence from that same re estate investing donor might be untowards, but did he pay market rates for it? And they question whether Lee knew the home buyer/landlord to be a "friend" at the time of the transactions. Reid, on the other hand, is being investigated for far more serious charges. The only thing linking them is the roadblocks to investigation by the Feds and, frankly, can that be attributed to either Reid or Lee but, mostly.... certainly not to Lee.

So McRINO considers it just fine when his friends from across the aisle include IMF language in the bill but not so much when Repubs try to do something similar regarding the IRS? And that cocksucker wonders why he's the most unpopular senator in the country.

83 82 Posted by: Captain Hate at March 14, 2014 07:24 AM (YvXkB) The House could defund parts of the Executive Office of the President (where all the czars get parked), but a lot of the functional stuff is funded through department authorizations. We've got some here that can better answer that though... Posted by: rich@gmu at March 14, 2014 07:40 AM (3yFC4) One just has to look at Lois Lerner to see that the Executive Branch extends to each and every Federal agency and bureaucracy. You will have to defund and demolish everything in order to neuter this tyrant. And even then, SCOAMF is just one tiny jug-eared cog in a vast machine of fellow travelers hell bent on our enslavement. THAT is the problem.

93 @76. I am not sure what is going on at USAFA. Some years ago the word was that evangelical Christians had turned the place into the Inquisition (I do not believe this story. I think that it was manufactured by atheists.). At any rate, USAFA has purged any of that God stuff because they are afraid of the lawsuits (a USAFA grad has literally gone to war against Christianity in the military. That's his description of it, it is the title of his book.). So I can imagine that someone posting a Bible verse on their door would cause a freak out.

Lois Lerner is more of a government union problem-they can effectively function as a government within a government (which leads to my bugaboo-why is it an "expert network" of government employees can exist and not be considered insider trading eg. HHS). Obama supercharged the problem by ladling in a shadow cabinet (his czars) and removing accountability of his appointees by stripping their portfolios.

96 I was shocked and disappointed that The President's Overtime speech didn't contain many details on the labor law aspects of his latest whim. Do you suppose he could be a little short on knowledge in that area?

My suspicion is that (1) several hundred thousand people just left "management," and now may be represented by labor organizations, like it or not, and (2) a whole bunch of stuff like Personal Leave, Flexible Work Scheduling and Family Medical Leave just "changed status" for them, and, basically, they're as screwed as the Ukrainian Kulaks.

The evangelical story was brought about by some Jewish cadets who claimed antisemitism from superiors, sometime around 2010. One of those cadet's Dad has been on a Jihad ever since to remove any and all signs of religion from the zoo. He's the Weinstein guy in the story on the Blaze.

Gotta say, if you want to polish up Mitch McConnell's conservative bona fides, it might not be the best thing to mention he went to the mattresses over campaign finance laws. Basically the optics being shown are that he wanted to make it easier for himself to raise money to secure his seat.

Not that I'm a big supporter of campaign finance laws (and by that I mean "not at all," I think the only law that should exist is a candidate must publicly and loudly disclose who gave him money), but if that's why I should give Mitch McConnell a pass for trying to destroy the Tea Party, then fuck him.

I'm no expert on WI and cannot speak to what's in Ryan's heart, but one of the few places in WI I'm familiar with is Janesville, that only becoz I've visited there on holidays for extended stays with the wife's relations.

My impression, coming from the heavily-ghettoized industrial NE, is that Janesville has a bigger problem with inner-city Whites than it does Blacks. Its like the factories closed down 20yrs ago and the line workers just stayed put, collecting welfare and getting drunk.

157 Working OT, as a salaried employee, is one way that a motivated person can distinguish himself/herself from the crowd. Forcing an employer to pay OT to lower wage salaried employees will deny opportunity to motivated employees.

159 146 141 So, Graham will now be facing 6(!) challengers in the primary? I'd feel more comfortable if it were 1 or 2. But all of them need to turn up the campaigning dial or the majority of SC will have no idea who they are, and will go with Graham for name recognition alone. ..... I live in Florida but have contributed to Cash twice. In a recent newsletter he said that they had more than 300 people show up to a townhall. That's pretty good.

162 139. Vic, Carter was a snake worshiping gifter to fundamentalism. But worst POTUS evah? Carter never prosecuted States in order to dissolve Constitutional Governance. Carter never ordered the IRS to prosecute every political opponent, fabricating evidence in league with National Security bureaucrats. Despite his bad calls (giving away the Panama Canal to win hearts and minds or whatever), I don't think that Carter hated America and loved Marx as Obama does.

163 @158. Some number of years ago I was predicting huge cuts in the military. What else would you expect from Obama's election. And, as Mark Steyn points out, once there is national health care, it is game over. We aren't going to repeal Obamacare, so it will eat the military.

189 The US Constitutional Government is America's foundation. To remove our foundation is self destruction. To level our structure or to bury it, and build a tower of babel ain't gonna help us, either. Confusion, not Confucius. Palin represents AN archetype of a conservative woman who made her own way in life without being born with a silver spoon in her mouth, fiscally responsible seeing to best use of public funding for the taxpayers' benefit (even to the point of taking the brunt of horribly unfair personal persecution as prosecution to alleviate taxation on her constituents -- I do not hold THAT decision against her, she did not "quit" by any real sense), culturally maintaining Constitutional Integrity to the best of her ability AGAINST ALL ODDS, for her children, for Americans and our posterity. In her parent's day, in MLKjr's day, she'd have been called "an all American Woman" for representing our nation's best character. Those who bitterly cling to the Ann Coulters with Alinsky methodology are the idjits who would persist in the insanity of repeating the obvious mistake expecting a better outcome. Bigger mistakes are better mistakes? Too Big To Fail. That effect becomes too big to jail. But it butters her bread. Coulter's endorsements repeat more of the same corruption drowning us already. I am not alone in utter contempt of utter contempt. "Like water off a duck's back." Stay focused on the target, not the distractions. The Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee with Sarah Palin campaign for constitutional conservatism has earned my respect. They are fighting the good fight, MY battles against Goliath Washingtonian Philistines. You want to call me a purist? Sticks 'n stones. Get over the misconceptions, sooner than later; do yourself that favor. It's a relief not to carry unnecessary baggage.

But - interesting note again: The crew chief of Scheherazade - his name is the exact same name (first, middle initial, last) as my father. Additionally, the first date my grandparents (dad's side) ever went on was to see a performance of Scheherazade. A reporter wrote a story about the crew chief getting a ride in a B-17 this past July. I tracked down the reporter and actually spoke with the crew chief about his plane and his experiences. He's a hell of a guy.

None of those things are important in any large sense, but I want to build this plane properly for a lot of reasons.
