U.S. Admits for First Time Drones Killed 4 Americans: If only President Death From Above had been as interested in saving four Americans in Benghazi as he was in killing these. Not to worry though. We’re sure the media sycophants will remind us that the Obama administration suspension of due process and targeted killing of Americans citizens (douche-bags though they may have been) is nowhere near “Nixonian”.

Rand Paul RIPS Colleagues For ‘Berating’ Apple Over Taxes: Building a political career out of buying votes can get expensive. So expensive in fact that the kleptocrats at the top are always looking for new revenue streams. This time around they’re targeting Apple, and by extension the consumers that are going to be saddled with all the proxy taxes they no doubt are angling for. But at least one guy in Washington is willing to stand up to them.

Sen. Ted Cruz: ‘I don’t trust Republicans’: Ted Cruz is absolutely right. There is no reason to trust these guys that promise one thing but always end up delivering another.

Max Baucus to expand IRS probe! Remember folks this is the guy that in 2010 urged the IRS to go after conservative and Tea Party groups.

Gary Younge: The Republican wolves are out for Obama but they are yet to draw blood. If it is blood Mr. Younge wants then he need look no further than Benghazi on September 11, 2012. And if that is not enough to satisfy this man’s peculiar lust then he can certainly get his fill from the hundreds killed from the staggeringly stupid Obama/Holder plan to give guns to Mexican drug lords.

Daily Beast: It was rough—the IRS, Benghazi, the AP phone calls. But the president’s already moving past the week’s ‘Watergate’ to get back to business . . . Yes, and unfortunately business for usual during this administration means spying on Americans, threatening them and when that doesn’t work targeting them for punishment.

Obama Uses Commencement Address to Recall Jim Crow: Jim Crow was a system born out of the notion that if enough people agree to it then the rights and properties of certain individuals can be subverted and confiscated. Obama would do well to recall this the next time he wants to use government to achieve the same thing.

Entire Audience at NJ Gun Hearing Disobeys Senators Orders, Recites Pledge: It is good to see these people using the pledge in a moment of civil disobedience. It is all to often forgotten that it is the job of the representatives to represent the people and to do that first they must listen, and not try to silence, them. So hats off guys, and take that Francis Bellamy!

Venezuelan Strongman Nocolas Maduro admits to knowing “the IDs and all” of the 900.000 Chavistas who did not vote for him: Well if the whole dictator thing doesn’t work up for this fellow he could always run the Obama IRS.

Lew asks Congress for debt increase, says it’s ‘not open to debate’: Another Obama brown shirt that supposes we are his servants instead of the other way around. Sadly this sort of thing isn’t even shocking anymore.

Woodward: ‘I Would Not Dismiss Benghazi,’ Similar to Watergate: While we appreciate the direction Woodward is leaning in we must ask that he re-examine the premise. Watergate is similar to Benghazi in the way that a cup of water is similar to a flood. And the last time we checked Watergate didn’t have a body count.

Obama: I Have ‘Complete Confidence’ In Holder: So do we. Complete confidence that he’ll shelter racist thugs, use the power of his office to persecute those on Obama’s “enemies list” and possibly be responsible for a few more deaths brought about by the guns that he gave to Mexican drug lords.

Paul Krugman, I love inflation! And so do all these other guys: Not content with his own laurels Paul Krugman has now descended to defending his particular brand of economic madness by listing other correct-think economists who still don’t think our cost of living is high enough. Not surprisingly these are mostly guys that have far less to lose from the implicit savings/earnings tax -that is inflation- than the rest of us do.

Elizabeth Warren, a Great Investment The Massachusetts senator continues to shine light on Washington’s cozy relationship with Wall Street and its too-big-to-fail banks: Nice try Chief She-Who-Tells-So-Many-Lies. It wasn’t our system that encouraged the corporatism or bail outs for those people and entities that failed to be good stewards of our resources. That was your statist policy. That was your central plan.

Mother Jones Goes all Luddite “AI to steal all our jobs”: If artificially intelligent robots want to steal all our jobs they’re going to have to get in line behind Obama. Now if you’ll excuse us we need to go out and and bust up all the looms and printing presses before they destroy the textile and publishing industries. (Hmm this is starting to sound like a discussion from a previous post)

Soledad O’Brien: ‘OK, white person, this is a conversation you clearly are uncomfortable with’: What all people should be uncomfortable with is a philosophy that teaches individuals to rely on their race as opposed to their merits. That is the road to oppression. Unfortunately for people like Soledad O’Brien their own racism is what pays the bills. And she obviously fears a world in which all those victims suddenly become not only empowered but also her competition.

Sirota: ‘We Are Incinerating the Planet…Because Too Many of Us Like to Eat Cheeseburgers’: Sooner or later the proglodyte will always come around to demanding that the people starve for their revolution. In the case of Mr. David Sirota it looks like the time for such a demand is now.

Warren Buffet in the Money! Berkshire Cash Hits Record $49.1 Billion as Profit Climbs: Now that the government’s rigging of our financial system has made the Ogre of Omaha an even richer man maybe he can actually start paying all of his taxes instead of expecting the middle class to do it for him.

Paul Krugman: The One Percent’s Solution: Unable to seriously defend economic policies that fail every time they are implemented Krugman has turned to the tried and true method of obfuscation to deal with his ever diminishing credibility. This time around he is blaming austerity and the one percent. Never mind the fact that hasn’t been any austerity and of those “one per-centers” that came about their money unfairly they did so by partnering up with a corrupt central economic system that Krugman wants to give even more power to. And just like his suggestion that the Internet was going to have an economic impact no greater than the fax machine this is not just wrong, but laughably wrong.

Farrell: Capitalism is killing our morals, our future (In a Market Society, everything is for sale). The genius of a market society is that it requires two parties to agree before a transaction can be completed. Price and value are set by the owner and by the one seeking to be the owner. At any time either participant can abstain from the process and no force on earth can then remove the property from the individual that owns it. This arrangement is somewhat problematic for a man like Paul B. Farrell. The system he prefers can only succeed when men are neither consulted nor fairly compensated before their wealth and labor are confiscated for purposes that will leave them much worse off than they were before. Which is precisely why this old statist prefers the slave market to one that is free.

Is the US ready for a third president called Bush? If a third Bush gets to run we’ll be making a run of our own . . . for a fifth of something else.

Gwyneth Paltrow is the most beautiful woman in the world: Or so it has been determined by a panel that clearly must have been made up of Perez Hilton, Stevie Wonder and Paltrow’s own mother. Apologies in advance, we seem to lack the bandwidth required to present a picture of Gwennie Poo that can do justice to her unrivaled beauty, so we hope you won’t mind this video of Kate Upton in a bikini instead.

George W. Bush Tells Jeb to ‘Run,’: There has been a slew of positive press for W. over the last few days. And we were really beginning to wonder why a media that had spent eight years doing everything it possibly could to destroy the man was suddenly so interested in rehabilitating his image. But we think we’ve found the answer. They’re hoping that when they pick the Republican candidate for 2016 it will turn out as successfully for them as it did in 2008 and 2012.

Could Muslims Face Discrimination Following Marathon Bombings?: Not to worry guys. When the TSA moves into the cities they will operate much as they do at the airport. Which means they’ll still be ignoring your packages, while fondling ours.
