Obamacare's Cost of Control

By Dr. Elaina George

There is a strong push currently being made by advocates of Obamacare to convince Americans it is the best thing that has ever happened to this country. Even celebrities are being trotted out by the White House to tell us how lucky we are to be forced into a system that is both built on promises that were never intended to be kept, and one that is ethically and morally bankrupt that they - members of Congress and other cronies of the elite - will never have to use. The truth about Obamacare that no one will tell you is it is NOT about healthcare; it is about centralized government control. Obamacare is a corrupt scheme that has fooled Americans into entering a system that will limit their healthcare choices, encroach upon their freedom, rob them of their hard earned money, and destroy their privacy.

The Illusion of Peace Negotiations

By Joseph Klein

Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are in Washington this week to meet face to face under State Department auspices. Although the talks are focusing initially on procedural issues rather than any substantive matters, Secretary of State John Kerry hailed their resumption as a major accomplishment. In announcing the appointment of Martin Indyk, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, as the U.S. Special Envoy for Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations during a press briefing Monday morning, Kerry praised "the courageous leadership of Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas" and "their willingness to make difficult decisions."

The Media's Truth about the "Phony Scandals"

By Rabbi D.B. Ganz

Earlier in the year, the Obama Administration was accused of involvement in two major scandals, which the President has since referred to as "phony scandals": the Benghazi attack that cost four American lives, and the IRS systematically targeting and harassing Conservative groups. Incredibly, the country’s ostensibly impartial law-enforcement apparatus was being used as a cudgel to beat down opponents of the party in power.  Such goings on, typical of a Third World dictatorship, shake the very foundations of the U.S.’s democracy. These two stories are of MAJOR importance to the USA, yet, to date, what actually transpired in both cases remains unknown. What part does the mainstream media play in perpetuating the "phony" message?  [more...]

Return to Greenland - No Man Left Behind

By Mitchell Zuckoff

We returned to Greenland on Sunday, July 28, with the goal of recovering the remains of three World War II heroes featured in my new book, "Frozen in Time." Our targets are Lieutenant John Pritchard and Radioman Benjamin Bottoms of the Coast Guard, and Corporal Loren Howarth of the Army Air Forces. The three men disappeared November 29, 1942, when their Grumman Duck amphibious plane disappeared in a storm. We intend to dig, carve and melt through 70 million pounds of glacial ice to bring them home. The mission is the result of a remarkable public-private partnership that includes the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC); the U.S. Coast Guard; and a private expedition company, North South Polar Inc. Many of the remarkable individuals featured in "Frozen in Time" will be back for this year's mission, along with some new faces whom I'll introduce along the way. Follow the Mission on boston.com.

My George Zimmerman Moment

By Wayne Allyn Root

I see the Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case very differently. For me it was never about black or white. It was always about life or death - for George Zimmerman. You see, thirty-six years ago I was George Zimmerman. Thirty-six years ago I almost died in a life or death struggle eerily similar to George Zimmerman's confrontation. Let me tell you the story.

NBC Helps Ready the Political Stage for a Hillary Clinton Presidential Run

By James Hirsen

Always available to assist the liberal candidate du jour, the entertainment industry and mainstream media are engaged in an apparent early effort to sway public opinion with regard to the expected 2016 presidential run of Hillary Clinton.

This time around, in the preconditioning endeavor, NBC is taking the lead for Hollywood. The Peacock Network is currently involved in the development of a four-hour primetime miniseries about Mrs. Clinton.

The timing of the project may seem a bit early to some, but the details have apparently been thoroughly thought through, as evidenced by Robert Greenblatt’s recent revelation at a presentation to the Television Critics Association, in which the top NBC entertainment executive suggested that the network is seeking to avoid the possibility of rival candidates demanding equal time. To avoid the potential problem, Greenblatt indicated that the parties involved in the production would be shooting for a broadcast date that would occur prior to Mrs. Clinton’s formal declaration of candidacy.

Broke? Chicago school budget would increase spending by nearly 10 percent!

For all of the panicky rhetoric coming out of Chicago, one would think the school district is on the verge of financial collapse. Indeed, the Chicago Tribune recently published an editorial announcing that the financial emergency for CPS has arrived. That may very well be, but one would never know it from the proposed increase in spending of nearly 10 percent. [more...]

Chicago union teachers, students travel to Honduras to discuss U.S. 'revolution'

By the looks of things, Chicago’s education system must be in tip-top shape. Why else would members of the Chicago Teachers Unions be jetting around the world and focusing on global issues rather than the academic issues facing their district? For two weeks at the end of June, about 20 teachers and students traveled to Honduras to meet with their teachers union counterparts from that country, to learn about the "Honduran resistance movement,” and meet with the deposed former president, Mel Zelaya, according to an account posted on Honduras Resists. The published account states members of the CTU met with Zelaya to exchange ideas "about the struggle for a world where human lives have more value than private profit." [more...]

Teacher: 'Rednecks hold their heads a little higher' after Zimmerman verdict

When students return to classrooms this fall, a healthy number of them will discuss the recent George Zimmerman trial and acquittal, which many activist teachers believe was an "injustice." So how will the activists teach about it?  Thehairpin.com, a self-described "women's website," recently asked several teachers for reaction. "Rednecks are holding their heads a little higher and tapping the guns on their holsters eager for a stand your ground moment," said one anonymous teacher from Alabama. [more...]

Jesse Jackson's Proposed Boycott of Florida is Harmful and Demeaning to Blacks

By Rabbi D.B. Ganz

In response to the recent Zimmerman acquittal, Rev. Jesse Jackson has proposed a boycott of nothing less than the entire State of Florida. As foxnews.com reported on July 21, his feeling was that, “people understand dollars and cents... and they understand if there's a significant drop off in revenues - at conventions, at Disney World and Universal Studios - that will get the attention of the powerful." Fox also reported that, "Members of the Congressional Black Caucus appear undecided so far on whether to support a call for a boycott of Florida over the Trayvon Martin case." The notion that businesses throughout Florida deserve to be punished for what six jurors in Sanford honestly decided is unworthy of intelligent discussion. Nevertheless, Congress's Black Caucus might actually support this foolishness. I feel that this is emblematic of much of what is wrong with the current drive for black civil rights. [more...]

How Does Obama Maintain Decent Ratings Despite a Bad Economy and Multiple Scandals?

By John LeBoutillier

POLITICAL INSIDERS analyze why President Obama's ratings are holding steady despite 52% of the American people believing we are in a recession and three scandals continue to swirl around the White House. They also examine the inept GOP opposition to ObamaCare - and how Mitch McConnell is the worst negotiator... ever. The POLITICAL INSIDERS also preview the 2014 Senate races. Can the GOP regain control?  [more...]

An Opportunity to Protect Fundamental Freedoms

By Dave Bego

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear two cases in the next year which will determine whether persons will be protected in their exercise of the fundamental right to either choose whether to engage in union representation or to abstain from such representation, and to make such decision absent intimidation from either the union or their employer via the secret ballot election - the same process we use to elect our local, state and federal government officials. Interestingly, both cases stem from the President's attempt to provide political payback to his allies in Big Labor through the Rogue NLRB. [more...]

Harvey Weinstein Deploys Liberal Weaponry in Butler Battle

By James Hirsen

Harvey Weinstein has been engaged in a legal and public relations battle with Warner Bros. and the Motion Picture Association of America over the title of his soon to be released film, which has been marketed as "The Butler." Weinstein, who incidentally served as an Obama campaign bundler, has turned to former Al Gore lawyer David Boies and industry mainstay Bert Fields this time around to represent the Weinstein Co. in "The Butler" case. Boies penned a letter to Warner Bros., which ratcheted up the rhetoric by using race as part of his case. [more...]

Teachers Union May Sue over 'Constitutional Right' to Wear Shorts to Work

By Kyle Olson

Big Labor has a new favorite group of victims of social injustice – the teaching staff of Lewis County, West Virginia. Citizens have been complaining to school board members about the "way teachers dress," according to school board president Paul Derico. As a result, the school board unanimously passed a dress code for teachers, banning blue jeans, faded jeans and shorts. Of course the teachers union is not taking this grave injustice lying down. Union officials have threatened to sue the board. [more...]

Joel Gilbert: Obama Stole Election by Letting Homeless, Disabled People Vote

Joel Gilbert's theory is that Barack and Michelle both cast early votes as a "signal to their followers" to commit voter fraud. "I think a large percentage of those on absentee voted again on Election Day," said Gilbert. By his estimate, these double-voting Obama supporters made up as much as 25 percent of the electorate. "Romney actually won the election on Election Day," he added. "But because they had stacked the vote through absentee ballots, through dead people, homeless, disabled people, people voting two, three times, I believe that's how they knew they would win the election."

Slandered in the Media

By Wayne Allyn Root

This past week MSNBC's Rachel Maddow tried to defame and slander me in a bizarre, rambling 15 minute diatribe. She even gave me a name, "birther." It sounds similar to "murderer," except it means I dared ask questions about Obama. Funny enough that none of the questions I have asked about the President ever involved his birth or birth certificate. Never. Not once. But hysterical defenders of Obama never let a fact get in the way of a good slander. Rather than attacking a patriotic American, shouldn't journalists be asking questions of the President? Do the answers to the questions I asked scare her that much? Am I getting that close to the truth? Do I pose that much of a threat? [more...]

Egypt: Should the U.S. Help One Undemocratic Arab Faction Unseat Another?

By Rabbi D.B. Ganz

What, if anything, should the U.S. do as such events are unfolding, both in Egypt and in other where dictatorships rule? The Ancient Jewish Writings teach, "People should not tear down a synagogue until another synagogue is built." The text is discussing a community in the process of replacing its old temple with a newer and better one. It is saying that being optimistic and almost certain the new structure will be completed is insufficient. Unforeseen difficulties can arise over the course of almost any project, and the new temple might not be ready when planned; in fact, it might never be completed at all. Accordingly, before dismantling the old temple, the community should first be certain that the replacement is already built and usable. [more...]

A Shameful Display of Gun & Racial Politics in the Aftermath of Zimmerman

By Rob Olive

Despite presidential interference, threats of violence, and unprecedented pressure by the Justice Department, the jury found Zimmerman not guilty. That's because, when the available evidence was presented, this was a case of self-defense. Obama and others can wish it weren't so, but that doesn't change the facts. For the President to then use this as an occasion to ask what more we can do to "stem the tide of gun violence" is preposterous. It shows how little regard he has for both our system of justice and the Second Amendment to our Constitution. This wasn't a case of "gun violence," except under the warped definition used by people like Mayor Bloomberg who considers the Boston Marathon bombing suspects victims of "gun violence," as well. Rather, this was self-defense. [more...]

Court is Likely to Resume for Zimmerman

By James Hirsen

Although George Zimmerman is now a free man following his recent acquittal, it is highly likely that in the near future he will once again find himself in a courtroom. Zimmerman may be facing a lawsuit that could lead to a civil trial or a federal prosecution that could result in a civil rights trial. There is even a distinct possibility that he may have to face both.

Trayvon Martin’s parents are most likely looking at a number of legal alternatives that are available to them, which includes the consideration of whether or not to file a wrongful death suit against Zimmerman in civil court.

Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Martin family, actually told ABC’s "This Week" that the Martins "are certainly going to look at that [a civil lawsuit] as an option."

Trayvon’s mother and father have already sought redress in the civil courts. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the parents settled a wrongful death claim against the homeowners association of the subdivision where their son lost his life. [more...]

Citing 'hungry, frustrated' kids, another school district drops First Lady’s lunch menu

If the goal of the federal school lunch overhaul is to improve outcomes for children, somebody should tell its chief cheerleader - First Lady Michelle Obama - that it's actually backfiring. Officials in New York’s Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake school district have become the latest to opt out of the National School Lunch Program, citing "hungry, frustrated children plus lost income."

"[Food service manager Nicky] Boehm and her staff worked hard to implement the new regulations, but there were just too many problems and too many foods that students did not like and would not purchase. Students complained of being hungry with these lunches and the district lost money. I’m confident we can do better on our own next year," assistant superintendent Chris Abdoo said. The lunch program lost about $100,000 for the school year, which is roughly the cost of one teaching position. [more...]

NEA convention delegates filmed dancing to a misogynistic rap song

At a kickoff event for yet another public relations campaign at its national convention last week, the National Education Association played "Wobble" by V.I.C., a lewd, sexually-oriented recording that includes the highly offensive racial word "nigga" and the rapper discussing the "tool in his pants." Called "Raise Your Hand," the event was billed as one that would assist with "empowering educators to lead." Watch the video to see all the geriatric education "leaders" dancing to a song that says, "when it’s over you ain't gon need ya vibrator." [more...]

Cost of complying with Michelle Obama's school lunch overhaul? $3.2 BILLION!

As schools continue to grapple with the school lunch menu overhaul pushed by First Lady Michelle Obama, some are realizing their headache isn't just from a lack of food. The program involves way too much green - and we’re not talking lettuce and brussel sprouts. We mean the estimated $3.2 billion schools will have to find to implement the new federal regulations. Many schools are also losing money due the unpopular Obama menu. [more...]
