The Rats Are Leaving the Ship They Helped to Build It is a pathetic sight – Senate Democrats struck with Obamacare panic and the growing reality that there is no way out. That has not stopped a group of Senators from proposing to “fix” the national health care law that is sinking their party and their president’s firm belief that big government liberalism can alter a huge chunk of the national economy. It is more than a case of the rats leaving the sinking ship; the rats leaving the ship they helped to build. Leading the group is two of...

Move Could “Open the Floodgates” Against National Standards Indiana Governor Mike Pence burst into the headlines with his announcement that Indiana will be the first of 45 states to opt out of the national education standards known as Common Core. “I believe when we reach the end of this process there are going to be many other states around the country that will take a hard look at the way Indiana has taken a step back,” Pence said, “designed our own standards and done it in a way where we drew on educators, we drew on citizens, we drew on...

I had come to the same conclusion by examining the available data. I am quite familiar with that area and that particular route. I have flown it a lot of times. My guess is they want the airplane…passengers are probably dead. That is a no brainer…simply don the O2 masks in cockpit and reach up and throw the pressurization switch and bingo 2 minutes later everybody is dead. APPARENT HIJACKING OF MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370 ON MARCH 8, 2014 I have annotated the best available satellite “ping” data and Malaysian military skin-track radar data on the undoubtedly hijacked Malaysia Airlines Flight...

This is a problem for conservatives to overcome. First, unions give almost exclusively to Democrats. Of the remaining entities, some give to Democrats, some to Republicans. Second, the unions have a government-enforced source of cash. Public unions have taxpayer money to work with, and government (read: Democrats) can always use their power to get them more. Private unions have the dues money from their members, and use if for political contributions, whether the members want them to or not. And in non right-to-work states, government even forces non-members to give the unions their money. This is a giant machine, and...

“Make Jobs, Not Propaganda” President Obama’s income inequality campaign – the centerpiece of his effort to save vulnerable Democrats from the Obamacare disaster – is fast losing steam in the face of raw facts and political reality. The President wandered up to Connecticut the other day to sing the praises of a minimum wage increase with friendly Democratic governors who have moved to raise the minimum wage in their states. His refrain was familiar. “It’s time to give America a raise,” Obama said. “It’s not bad business to do right by your workers; it’s good business.” As usual, the president...
