Barack Obama has seen his signature health care law passed, which has been a dismal failure, though one could rightly argue that failure was his intent all along. He has seen gun prohibition laws vanquished in light of an uprising of American patriots. Now, it appears that Obama is set to define his second term in office as one of pushing a hoax of climate change legacy. The Hill reports: But there’s one thing that’s going right for Obama: Executive action on climate change is moving full-speed ahead at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). “He may be able to...

CNSNews.com) – Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday pushed back at suggestions that only resistance from a skeptical France prevented a group of world powers from reaching a deal with Iran over the long running nuclear dispute. “A number of nations – not just the French, but ourselves and others – wanted to make sure that we had the tough language necessary, the clarity in the language necessary, to be absolutely certain that we were doing the job and not granting more or doing something sloppily that could wind up with a mistake,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the...

Here’s another victim of President Lucifer’s Obamacare. Bill Elliott has cancer. He had a healthcare plan that had paid for “just about everything” of his cancer treatment, including pharmaceuticals and medical devices like MRI. He had doctors whom he “loved” and his premium was $180 a month. But Elliott, like hundreds of thousands of Americans, got a cancellation notice from his medical insurance BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE. So Elliott tried to find a new health plan that would take him. But his insurance premium will be $1,500 a month — an increase of 833% from his old premium. An MRI...

While Barack Obama is busy gutting the U.S. nuclear arsenal, Russia and China are rapidly preparing for the day when they will nuke the United States. To most Americans, it sounds very strange to hear that Russia and China are concerned about nuclear war. After all, isn’t the Cold War over? Isn’t that what politicians from both major political parties keep telling us? Unfortunately, the truth is that Russia and China both consider the United States to be their number one geopolitical threat, and both nations have been systematically strengthening and updating their strategic forces. At the end of...

James Manning recently interviewed a high school friend of Barack Obama, who claims to have known him back in the 1970s as Barry Soetoro. Mia Marie Pope says that Obama identified himself as a foreigner and a crack-smoking homosexual. Ms. Pope was born in 1962, in California, and moved with her family to Hawaii when she was still an infant. Pope claims that she did not meet or see Barry Soetoro until about 1977. She said that she, Barry and other kids would hang out at the beach at Waikiki. Mia Marie Pope says that Barry Soetoro “always portrayed himself...

If Israel and the Palestinians do not agree on a “two state solution” by the end of this year, the Obama administration plans to propose its own solution and force it on the two sides in early 2014. For Obama, the goal is to have this agreement in place in time to influence the November 2014 mid-term elections. Unfortunately for Israel, the Palestinians have absolutely no incentive to move off of their current demands because Obama has been promising them a Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital since very early in his presidency....

Have you ever heard of a disease called Kuru? It was discovered in Papua New Guinea in the 1950s to be present among cannibal tribes. The symptoms of the disease itself are almost as frightening as how it was believed to be contracted. In the second stage of the disease the carriers are said to be sedentary, emotionally unstable and depressed. Yet they suffer from uncontrollable outbursts of laughter. The theory is that Kuru did not come from simple cannibalism but more likely from consumption of the human brain. The dysmorphism evident in the infection rates — kuru was...

(Pictured: Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino with President Obama) You may have your suspicions about what’s going on behind closed doors at the White House. But according to one of President Obama’s former body guards it’s much worse than we can even imagine. Dan Bongino has protected numerous Presidents over his career, including President Obama. He has been within ear-shot of many a discussion in the Oval Office, but up until this administration has stayed out of the lime light. Apparently, however, the activities of this administration are so abhorrent that he could no longer keep quiet. Bongino is so...

With all the talk about the failures of Obamacare and dismal economic numbers, something happened last week that you may have missed. On Friday afternoon, which means it was overlooked by most members of the media, Barack Obama issued an executive order which could bring sweeping new power to himself and could allow him to bypass Congress all in the name of combatting "climate change." Under the title Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change, Obama's executive order seeks to pour more federal funds into controlling... the weather. That's right. Apparently Obama feels that controlling America's healthcare...

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – these are our recognized rights as demonstrated by the Declaration of Independence. Americans have the right to live, to be free, and follow their dreams as long as it does not deprive their fellow citizens of the same. Constitutionally, there is no ‘right’ to healthcare. But as a society, we have coalesced around the notion that a decent society should provide access to decent healthcare. Unfortunately, the prescription for greater access and lower cost, The Affordable Care Act AKA Obamacare has done nothing to provide greater access or lower cost. In...

There is no doubt that President ObamaÂ’s health care system promises to fundamentally transform America. ItÂ’s been touted as the saving grace of the working class. But how feasible is it really? We know itÂ’s essentially a wealth redistribution scheme that takes money from one group of people in the form of forced tax payments, only to shift that money into the pockets of those who didnÂ’t earn it in the form of government subsidies to their health care premiums. But like all universal programs, the promise of free anything only works so long as you donÂ’t run out...

In mid-October The Washington Examiner reported that Federal Officials only considered one firm to build the epic fail now known as healthcare.gov. When that story broke you had to suspect that someone probably had a kickback coming. Richard Pollock reported on October 13th: Federal officials considered only one firm to design the Obamacare health insurance exchange website that has performed abysmally since its Oct. 1 debut. Rather than open the contracting process to a competitive public solicitation with multiple bidders, officials in the Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid accepted a sole bidder, CGI...

Issa, Alexander blast Sebelius for not complying with document requests on Obamacare launch Congressional Republicans on Friday threatened to subpoena the Department of Health and Human Services over the disastrous rollout of a federal health care website unless Secretary Kathleen Sebelius turns over previously requested documents. House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) and Senate Health Committee ranking member Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.) blasted Sebelius in a Friday letter for refusing to comply with prior document requests. “While you [Sebelius] have refused to provide information to Congress, you have been a frequent guest on numerous news and...

Yesterday, I wrote and provided video evidence that the apparent fainting of Karmel Allison was staged. While it is true that Mrs. Allison is a diabetic, the fainting spell does raise a lot of questions, especially in light of the fact that she was there to support Barack Obama’s healthcare push. What’s also interesting, is who her husband is and how that fits the equation. First, let’s set the stage. Mrs. Allison contributes to the site ASweetLife.com, which focuses on women’s health, specifically diabetes. In a recent article, posted on October 7, 2013, Allison writes about “what Obamacare feels like...

It seems to NEVER end for this administration…for this president…and yet he remains in office NO matter what improprieties come to light. Everything Obama does seems to roll off him…to roll of him as his cohorts and minions circle their wagons around the man the media anointed as the great black ‘savior’ of us all. Scandal after scandal…lie after lie…shame after shame have surfaced…led off with Fast & Furious…Benghazi…IRS targeting conservatives…spying on ‘We the People’…shootings deemed workplace violence that are anything but..a farce of a government shutdown…defaming and dishonoring our vets…debt ceiling woes…and crying the sky will fall if...

The 3 Musketeers…Barack HUSSEIN Obama, ‘Prince’Harry Reid, and his Botox Queen…the one and only Nancy Pelosi. America’s very own ‘Axis of Evil’ with their all-consuming leftist partisan ideology existing only to inflict as much pain as possible on ‘We the People’ and doing so in the most hateful, spiteful, and vindictive of ways. Mocking, denigrating, ridiculing, and always finding fault with ‘We the People’ every chance they get…have you ever heard these three speak kindly of America or the American people…I think NOT. Have you ever heard these three speak with pride about American exceptionalism…American entrepreneurship…American accomplishments…I think NOT....

As the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Kathleen Sebelius is the woman in charge of the utter disaster of the unAffordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. Jon Passantino reports for Buzzfeed, Oct. 22, 2013, that in a CNN interview yesterday, Sebelius told interviewer Dr. Sanjay Gupta that she hasn’t actually tried to sign up for a health care plan on the glitch-plagued Obamacare site, Healthcare.gov because she — like her boss the POS, Congress, Supreme Court, federal employees and all their families too — is exempt from Obamacare that they’ve foisted on the American people: “I’ve...
