Free kibbles

RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS:

China condemns US gun ownership as a human rights violation. That cracks me up. What a bunch of propaganda.

ECONOMY:

766,000 women have lost their jobs since Obama took office.

TAX AND SPEND:

Connecticut taxpayers funding the Communist Party.
"Yep, despite massive debt and a mushrooming deficit, Governor Dannel Malloy, with the obedient Democrat legislature in tow, will convene the State Bond Commission on June 4th and push through a $300,000 “grant-in-aid to Progressive Education and Research Associates to finance renovations to the New Haven Peoples Center at 37 Howe Street.” The masquerades of Progressive this and People that aside, 37 Howe Street happens to be the headquarters for the Connecticut Communist Party, run by Joelle Fishman, who also happens to be the regional bureau chief for the infamous Peoples World. Which, yes, also happens to be located at 37 Howe Street."
You can't make this stuff up.

Why external government debt is more problematic than internal government debt.

REGULATION:

Flaws in Dodd-Frank hurts businesses. It's not the flaws that hurt. It's the regulations. Show me one regulation that helps business.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Mainstream economists are realizing the Fed can't solve our economic problems. When they realize the Fed is a major source of our economic problems, then we'll have a breakthrough.

One way of hiding inflation is to reduce the size of products.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Book exposes green living myths. Most green ideas make very little difference in energy usage.

One sure way to lower CO2 output is to trash the economy. Well done, government.

McIntyre busts Mann for more fraudulent data. NOAA busted for data manipulation.

Obama's green boondoggle spending was a fantastic looting program.
"To get to one million, the White House pinned its hopes on 11 models of electric vehicles -- including the Karma. Our CBS News investigation found that six of the 11 -- Ford Focus, Ford Transit Connect, Fisker Nina/Atlantic, Tesla Model S, Tesla Roadster and Think City -- either haven't made their first delivery or are already out of business.
Others aren't even close to the government's 2015 projections. For example, 36,000 Fisker Karmas and 505,000 Chevy Volts were supposed to be made. But current projections slash the Karma's 2015 number in half to 18,000 and put the Volt at one-eighth of the goal at 62,000."
But Obama's cronies made millions off our tax dollars.

Some fraud blames earthquakes and landslides on global warming.

WAR ON DRUGS:

Veterans say marijuana helps PTSD. It seems to me we're approaching a pivot point on marijuana, positive reports are coming out day after day, that is leading to marijuana legalization. Maybe giant corporations are ready to mass produce it, so they're setting the stage for legalization.

POLICE STATE:

Police make mass arrests of people in cars at an intersection hoping to find a bank robber, which they did. Who cares about the rights of the others? The government allows us to live because we feed it.

Here's a great question: if the state is incapable of doing simple tasks like delivering post efficiently, why would we trust it with important things like a justice system?
"Indeed, the Innocence Project has determined that in 25% of DNA exoneration cases, the defendants made incriminating statements, delivered outright confessions or pled guilty. This is a system that, in many cases is built not on physical evidence, but on coerced confessions."
That's a tremendous number.

WAR:

Pat Buchanan on the folly in military intervention in Syria.

POLITICS:

Ohio Senator Portman flies to Israel to meet with Israel's president, most likely to be vetted as Romney's VP. It's crazy how much control Israel has over our politics.

I think this is a very accurate assessment of where Rand Paul stands regarding Romney.
"Congressman Paul has accumulated many more delegates than the media claims he’s won. His chances may be slim, but he has the power to cause a convention floor-fight if he chooses."
How many delegates? Why can't we get an honest accounting of the delegates so far?
"Getting the support of the Paul revolution would be a dream come true for the Romney campaign, but won't happen. Romney lacks many qualities that Paul’s supporters look for in a candidate. These include honesty, integrity, consistency and substance. Romney has none of these, and we haven't even gotten to his positions on the issues yet."
Exactly.
"Ron Paul has already refused to endorse Romney as the Republican nominee, and will not endorse him even after the convention. This makes a Rand Paul vice-presidency extremely unlikely. Senator Paul is not going to put his father in the position of choosing between his son and his principles.
Romney is smart. He knows that Rand Paul is not likely to accept the VP spot out of respect for his father and their vastly different views on conservatism. Rand might not even endorse Romney due to his ideological honesty. Romney and Paul differ on issues such as the USA Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act, the Federal Reserve, and our foreign policy in general. With so little common ground it is a far stretch to consider him accepting a vice-presidential nod from the former Governor of Massachusetts."
Exactly.

Thomas Sowell blasts AG Holder's hypocrisy on racial issues.
"Attorney General Eric Holder recently told a group of black clergymen that the right to vote was being threatened by people who are seeking to block access to the ballot box by blacks and other minorities.
This is truly world-class chutzpah, by an Attorney General who stopped attorneys in his own Department of Justice from completing the prosecution of black thugs who stationed themselves outside a Philadelphia voting site to harass and intimidate white voters."
Like all politicians, Holder lies without conscience. Holder recently ordered Florida officials to stop removing dead people from their voter rolls.

Wisconsin Governor Walker wins big in his recall election. Three Republican state senators also facing recall won by similar margins, and a fourth is winning by a similar margin, though that race hasn't been called yet. This is a big blow to unions, and that's why Obama didn't come to Wisconsin. This is a bad sign for Obama and his union boss cronies.

MISC:

Flame, malware almost certainly created by the US government, hijacks Windows Update. Thanks, government.

Say's law: supply creates demand, or as I like to say, you have to produce before you can consume. People exchange what they produce for money, then use that money to purchase other goods they desire. The solution to a glut of goods, or under-consumption, is for prices to fall in a free market.

The truth about the Tiananmen Square protesters.
"From the very beginning, the student rebels marched into the Square singing the "Internationale," and toting portraits of Mao. According to Lee Feigon's pro-student protester account of The Meaning of Tiananmen, the leaders of a prominent student group, who in alliance with city workers organized the Beijing Workers' Autonomous Trade Union, "hung big pictures of Mao in the tents they pitched on the square. They talked openly and boldly about the good old days of the Cultural Revolution. Mao, they felt, had the right ideas, although he sometimes used wrong tactics. Now they were determined to use what they considered the right ones.""
They were protesting that the government wasn't Marxist any more.
"As Eric Margolis, foreign affairs editor of the Toronto Sun, so trenchantly put it, the Tiananmen Square "massacre has become a 'cause celebre' among fashionable leftists and literati, who have never forgiven China's rulers for abandoning socialism.""
Wow. Our media has presented the exact opposite viewpoint.
"This reaction to the policies of Deng and his successors was not limited to the West. It was reflected not only in the Maoist sympathies of some Chinese students, but also in the broad demands put forward by the student movement. Aside from vague assertions about the need for "democracy," the more concrete details of the students' program were remarkably pedestrian. At the height of the reforms, with government subsidies to students cut to the bone, intellectuals saw their incomes stay stagnant or even decrease at a time when relatively uneducated peasants were going into business and following Deng's maxim to get gloriously rich: while insisting on their right to march, and to free speech the students also demanded "more money for education and higher pay for intellectuals.""
That sounds a lot like the Occupy protesters.
"In the context of Chinese politics and history since the sixties, the Tiananmen Square insurrection of `89 was a leftist, implicitly anti-capitalist reaction to Deng's program of economic reform, albeit one aided and abetted by radical reformists in the Communist Party itself."
So the Marxists in the party staged these rallies much like Obama and his union thug buddies trained students then staged the Occupy protests.

So what is up with this Spurs coverage? While they were winning, ESPN hardly talked about them. But since they lost home court advantage last night, they're leading every show. It's like the league hates them for being successful in a small market, like they should know their place and be mediocre and allow the big market teams like the Knicks to win.

The BBC wants us to believe that super-volcanoes can fill up and explode in a couple of centuries. This is the same BBC that's lied about global warming to scare us. It's probably lying about this for the same reason.
