Free kibbles

SOCIALISM:

Wisconsin's minor labor reforms are saving taxpayers money. Just think what major reforms would do.

ECONOMY:

Analysis shows the folly of claims that the world is running out of resources.

TAX AND SPEND:

Lord Geithner doesn't expect to continue for a second term. Let's hope he doesn't get the opportunity, but if Obama wins, and Republicans are working hard to re-elect him, let's hope he ain't lying.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

The Fed inflates, gold rises.
"Gold jumped to its strongest in more than a month on Thursday after a promise by the U.S. Federal Reserve to keep rock-bottom rates for at least two more years helped burnish the metal's safe-haven appeal."
Like day follows night.

Banks beginning to question those who withdraw money. Bank runs will be coming soon. FDIC will have no hope of covering them.

HEALTH CARE:

Mark Sisson's top 6 anti-inflammatory foods.

The number of uninsured continues to rise.

Obama's henchwoman says that Obama won't let a little thing like the Supreme Court overturning the Obamacare mandate stop him from coercing people into buying health insurance whether they want to or not.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Taxpayer funded government workers and scientists rush to defend global warming frauds using our tax dollars.

Government is inherently divisive. Every action government takes divides people into winners and losers. Obama is the biggest government president in modern times, to he's the most divisive president in modern times. He's ripping not America apart, but his supporters as well. That's why he was unable to pass much of agenda despite having large majorities in both chambers for two years. Another example is his blocking of the Keystone pipeline have split unions.

I've written a lot about how solar cycle 24 is an historically low amplitude solar cycle. I've also written about how badly the vast majority of scientists, the establishment scientists, mis-predicted solar cycle 24. Now we have a new prediction about solar cycle 25:
"First Estimate of Solar Cycle 25 Amplitude – may be the smallest in over 300 years"
I hate to beat a dead drum, but I'm skeptical. Surprise. For those of you who've been reading my warnings of a Dalton or even Maunder-like minimum, you might be surprised to read I'm skeptical. But skepticism is a natural, rational, human approach to new science. I'm as skeptical of this claim as I am of the man-made global warming claims. I say prove it. The global warming frauds have no only failed, they've been proven wrong for a decade. I hope and hope and hope these predictions about solar cycle 25 are wrong, because if they're right, many people will die of cold, and civilization will suffer.

POLICE STATE:

Did you think you were smart for staying off the internet, thinking nobody would track you? Police in California are creating a database base on license plate observations. Maybe you should stay home. Maybe that will protect you. Or not. Sticking you head in the sand just makes easier for the government to do you from behind.

WAR:

Corruption at the VA. Who would have guessed?

SEALs rescue American and Dane in Somalia. This is a wonderful, feel good story. I'm happy the American and the Dane are safe. It's also a powerful political tool for the president. But this is terrible policy. The US military should not subsidize risky behavior overseas. Our military should insure other states don't molest Americans en mass, but individuals should be responsible for the consequences of their actions. The market would do a much better job of dealing with these risks. People who travel overseas could buy rescue insurance. Insurance companies would do an excellent job determining risk based on the itinerary and other factors and charging an appropriate price based on that risk. This would enable people to make rational decisions, the cost of rescues would be significantly reduced and taxpayers wouldn't have to pay for it. Apparently the American woman was from the Dayton area. But the policy is still bad. But how do you tell a parent, sibling or child this?

Call me cynical, but I bet Obama chose SEAL Team 6 for this operation just so he could bring the alleged assassination of Osama bin Laden back into the limelight. I hate having to type some of these words. But we have no evidence that OBL was killed other than Obama's word. And it would have been stupid to assassinate him instead of capturing him and interrogating him. For all I know, OBL is in Guantanamo, answering questions, as he should be. But this is the government voters have created: one that lies to them every day, and occasionally tells the truth, just enough to convince voters to continue supporting the greatest criminal organization in human history.

Doesn't it such that goons like Obama, Bush and Clinton have turned heroes like SEAL Team 6 into political pawns?

Record year for IEDs in Afghanistan.
"Attacks with makeshift bombs hit a record high of more than 16,000 in Afghanistan in the past year, and the increasing harm they cause to Afghan civilians indicates insurgents may lack strong leadership, military officials say."
Who do you think the victims are blaming? Their neighbors or Americans? Who do you think their children are going to attack in ten years? Policies matter. Blowback kills.

Call me naive, but I don't believe Americans, even those most corrupt, evil people in government, will kill other Americans to start a war. As psychotic, sociopathic and just plain evil as politicians are, and top bureaucrats are almost as bad, most government workers are not. The rank and file tend to be good people who want to help their fellows and the American people, not harm them even though they are trapped in an system that can only do evil. The worst of the worst above them won't risk their lives or careers by trying to sabotage the USS Enterprise. Self interest will win out. The USS Maine wasn't destroyed by Cuban Spaniards. It wasn't destroyed by an American false flag operation. It was destroyed by a design flaw. I do not believe for one second that US agents will harm the USS Enterprise or her crew in a false flag attack in order to start a war with Iran. God forbid I'm wrong.

POLITICS:

Ron Paul has a great response to Obama's State of the Union speech.

Romney paid 46 percent of his income in taxes and charity. Wow. That's a lot of charity. And that's a lot of wealth created for his fellow men.

The Congressional Black Caucus claims that the new crop of voter ID laws are designed to make it harder for Obama to win re-election. Is that an admission that Obama only won because of voter fraud?

I know why the media didn't ask Ron Paul about the TSA after TSA agents detained his son. They didn't want Americans to hear Paul's answer. This is a stupid question. The question everybody should be asking is why didn't Ron Paul bring it up? The media isn't his boss. Why didn't he find a way to make this an issue in the last debate? This was the opportunity he's been waiting for his entire political career, and he failed to make it happen. I was stunned he didn't make it an issue and challenge the worms on stage with him to comment. Had he done so, he could have won the nomination right there. Instead, Gingrich is allowed to pretend he's anti-establishment. It's almost like Paul didn't want to crush his competition.

MEDIA:

It is sickening how the media focus on Giffords while completely ignoring the other people wounded and killed. The press would have us believe only the lives of the ruling class matter. The rest of us are cattle for them to slaughter as they choose.

CNN not only ignores but dismisses Obama's ties to Alinsky but tries to tie Alinsky to the tea party. You can't make this stuff up.

Daily Mail surpasses New York Times. That may seem about as important as the tortuous surpassing the snail, but the snailmail world of print, that's a big deal.

LOCAL:

Who would have thought the local police were corrupt? Me.
