Boehner: No Progress on Bush-Era Tax Cuts Before Election

Boehner: No Progress on Bush-Era Tax Cuts Before Election

House Speaker John Boehner

John Boehner on 60 Minutes



It's a shame John Boehner (R-OH) is the Speaker of the House.  He's been absolutely worthless as House Speaker.  He allows President Obama to have his way when it comes to implementing socialism in America.  John Boehner and his Republican colleagues all like to speak about reducing the size and scope of government but their words aren't backed by their actions.  All those campaign promises in 2010 in the Republicans' "Pledge to America" mean nothing.  Boehner has been speaking about the need to repeal Obamacare and to cut Congress.  He even mentioned in the past that defunding Obamacare may be an option.  What has he done by his position as House Speaker to see that happens?  Nothing.  He needs to step down as House Speaker.  Somebody else needs to take over that mantle.  The problem is regardless who takes over as the next House Speaker, the results will be the same. 

John Boehner has been saying over and over that high taxes will cripple the American economy.  Boehner knows that at the end of 2012 that the Bush tax cuts will expire and major tax hikes will automatically take place next year.  He's now saying that he doesn't expect Congress to complete extension of the Bush tax cuts before the November election.  With all the influence he supposedly wields as House Speaker, he's a joke.  He could find ways to make it happen if he was serious enough about keeping this nation afloat economically.  These automatic tax hikes will further cripple a sagging economy.

I get tired of this clown appearing before camera on different occasions crying like he's concerned about the young people having a chance at the American Dream.  He's not standing up for the average American.  He's allowing President Obama and his Democratic colleagues have their way in destroying this country.  He's a rollover for the President.

Washington Times: Nearly One in Ten Employers to Drop Health Coverage

Nearly one in 10 employers to drop health coverage - Washington Times



Last week I heard financial guru David Ramsey read an article over the radio from the Washington Times.  He was reading an article from them entitled, "Nearly One in 10 Employers to Drop Health Coverage."  I thought it was such an interesting article that I decided to link this article for today's post.  Some of you that are very supportive of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 don't know the ramifications involved in this bill.  Most of the key provisions of this new healthcare law will be implemented in 2014.  Many people will be surprised the disastrous effect Obamacare will have on businesses once it's fully implemented.  I've heard House Speaker John Boehner say numerous times that Obamacare is nothing but a job killer.  He's fully correct.  I support that statement even though I'm no John Boehner fan.  John Boehner needs to step aside and resign from the House Speaker position.  That in itself is another story. 

If the House doesn't move to defund Obamacare immediately, then numerous small businesses will be reducing their payroll staff just to stay alive.  Employers with 50+ employees will face a penalty starting at $2000 per worker if they don't provide health coverage for their employees.  The unemployment rate will be very high with Obamacare in full force.

Billy Graham, Conservatives Rally Around Chick-fil-A

Billy Graham, Conservatives Rally Around Chick-fil-A


My hat's off to Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A president, who had the courage in an onslaught of criticism concerning their Biblical stance on the definition of the family unit to stand firm and not back down on what  the Bible says.  Chick-fil-A, a Christian based restaurant, has always stood on Biblical principle when it comes to running a restaurant.  Since the first Chick-fil-A restaurant was opened in 1967, the Cathy's have always honored God when it comes to running their restaurants.  Chick-fil-A has always been closed on Sundays since it first opened its doors.  The Cathy family are Southern Baptists and have never been ashamed of their faith.  Chick-fil-A, an Atlanta-based company, refused to reconsider to open its doors on Sundays even when the 1996 Summer Olympics were taking place in Atlanta.  I appreciate a restaurant that places Biblical principle over profits.  Chick-fil-A also boasts of having the only college football bowl game with an invocation. 

Earlier this month, Chick-fil-A caught the ire of gay rights groups over the restaurant's stance over gay marriage and the Biblical definition of a family.  Gay rights activists have called for a boycott, the Jim Henson Co. pulled its Muppet toys from children's meals, and politicians in Boston and Chicago have told the chain it isn't welcome there. 

Former Arkansas Governor and Baptist minister Mike Huckabee is declaring this coming Wednesday as "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" to support a business who's executives are willing to take a stand for Godly values, according to Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who also joined in the cause.  Evangelist Billy Graham, who has milked many a cow over his lifetime, said he was going to support Chick-fil-A in its cause next Wednesday.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll: Romney in Lead

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™

Mitt Romney

According to the Daily Presidential Tracking Poll from Rasmussen Reports, GOP candidate Mitt Romney is attracting 49% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 44%.  Three percent prefer some other candidate and four percent are undecided.  These numbers are similar to the 49% - 43% numbers that are in Romney's advantage in answer to the question "Who is trusted most to handle the economy?"  Romney's five-point advantage is the largest enjoyed by either candidate in just over a month.  Whether or not it marks a lasting change or it will fluctuate as before remains to be seen.  One thing I do believe is if Romney does have a chance to win the race, it will be very close.  Mitt Romney must be more competitive in this race if he has a chance to win.

The problem is many conservative voters are wary of him because of his shifting positions on abortion, for example, and due to the fact he played a role in the passage of Obamacare in April 2006 while he was still governor of Massachusetts.

Dinesh D'Souza Speaks about Barack Obama: The Movie 2016



Dinesh D'Souza, who is known for his best-selling book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage", told Newsmax TV about his recent new documentary entitled, "2016--Obama's America," that he didn't set out to lambaste Barack Obama before the November election.  He stated the idea wasn't so much of a "don't vote for Obama" film as much as it is "Who is the real Obama?" film in an exclusive interview on Tuesday.  "It's a film that sort of raises the curtain on this mysterious man in the White House, a man who is sort of different than the other presidents we've had before."  The film is billed as a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world's most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years.  The film seeks to answer the question, what will America be like in 2016 should the president be re-elected to a second term?  D'Souza pointed out that Democrats traditionally support the redistribution of wealth in America.  But Obama wants to re-align America in the world.  In his inauguration speech, he called it "remaking America."  DSouza interviewed  President Obama's half-brother George, for the film in Kenya.

UPDATE – ABC Corrects Report: ABC News’ Brian Ross Links Colorado Shooter To Local Tea Party | Mediaite

UPDATE – ABC Corrects Report: ABC News’ Brian Ross Links Colorado Shooter To Local Tea Party | Mediaite

Brian Ross, who alleged that there may be a link between the alleged Colorado shooter and the Tea Party.

Let's blame the Tea Party for the sad state of affairs in America today.  From the tragic shooting of Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and some of her top aides and other people on January 8, 2011, to the shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colorado at midnight this past Friday.  What other group to blame but the Tea Party.  The Tea Party, which was recently formed in 2009 and encouraged by Rick Santelli due to the growth and size of the federal government, is always targed by the major news media for shootings or violence that takes place in America.  The Tea Party is always at fault.  Big media is always looking for an excuse to link the Tea Party to some crazy psycho.  According to the leftist media, the Tea partiers are nothing but bigots and racist white folk who hate minorities.  Why doesn't the media ever point the finger at all the violence on Hollywood films?  Wouldn't all the blood, guts, killings, and shootings that's portrayed on the television screen and in the movie theaters incite violence amongst our young people?  It sounds more reasonable to make that assertion than Brian Ross's assertion that the alleged shooter is a member of Colorado's local Tea Party without any concrete evidence.

Last Friday on ABC's Good Morning America George Stephanopoulos, Brian Ross reported that there may be a link between alleged Colorado shooter Jim Holmes and the Tea Party.  "There's a Jim Holmes or Aurora, Colorado page on the Colorado Tea Party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party.  They didn't know at first if it was the same Jim Holmes.  ABC News has issued a correction to their earlier report and has concluded that the alleged shooter wasn't connected to the Tea Party.  Good for them.  I'm glad they finally corrected it.  They should've been cautious before trying to insinuate that this Jim Holmes, the shooter, is the same Jim Holmes that belongs to the Tea Party in Colorado.  Consequently, ABC doesn't care if it's careless when it comes to their reporting.  As long as it further denigrates the Tea Party and says they're nothing but racist homophobes and terrorists, that's all that counts as long as it promotes the Leftist agenda.

Sally Ride, First U.S. Woman in Space, Dies at 61

Sally Ride, first U.S. woman in space, dies at 61 – USATODAY.com

First female Astronaut Sally Ride

Sally Ride, the first female astronaut who was the fist U.S. woman to ride the space shuttle into space on June 18, 1983, has died at age 61.  She was more than just a physicist, educator, and astronaut.  She carried the hopes and aspirations of a generation on the fight, a symbol of the ascent of women into space.  She died Monday in La Jolla, California of pancreatic cancer.  In her lifetime, she twice visited space, took a leading role in NASA's response to both space shuttle disasters and devoted herself to education.  She was seeking to inspire more young women to pursue life in science.  "Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model.  She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars," President Obama said in a statement. 

Ride was part of the first class of female astronauts in 1978, which was a turn away from the exclusively male, military pilots of the Apollo era to mission specialists, doctors, and scientists in the space shuttle era.  Her launch riveted the nation, the seventh space shuttle trip sent to orbit and the second sent by the space shuttle Challenger. 

Ride focused her efforts on education in encouraging girls to pursue a career in science, technology, and engineering which was the most important to her.  She refocused her efforts after leaving NASA to teach at the University of California-San Diego.  She also founded her own company, Sally Ride Science, which organized camps, festivals, and an academy to inspire children.

Penn State Fined $60 Million, Hit With Harsh Penalties

Penn State fined $60M, Paterno's wins vacated from 1998-2011 | Fox News



Yesterday the NCAA imposed some very harsh penalties on Penn State following former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky's conviction of molesting young boys for a number of years.  Penn State's football program was all but dismantled by the NCAA ruling which wiped away former head coach Joe Paterno's victories from 1998 until last year and imposed a mountain of fines and penalties.  The sanctions by the governing body imposed unprecedented fines of $60 million, ordered Penn State to sit out of postseason play for four years, capped scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years and placed football on five years probation.  Current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school. 

By vacating 112 Penn State victories from 1998-2011, the sanctions cost Paterno 112 wins.  Former Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden will be credited with the most victories--377 major college wins.  Paterno, who was fired from Penn State days after Sandusky was charged, now is credited with 298 wins.  It's a sad day in college football for Penn State.  But maybe it will teach other major college football programs that covering up the sins of a pedophile will be very costly, and rightly so.  To read the full story about Monday's latest ruling from the NCAA, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.
