Verge of War: Ukraine’s foreign minister says “We are ready to fight”; Russia holds military exercises on border. Obama warns Russia new sanctions are “teed up”. He must be serious, he used a golf metaphor [50 secs in.]

General Electric to investors: Obamacare is hurting our medical business. “I think there’s still a lot of uncertainty in health care and we’ll just have to see that over time.” Irony alert – GE once owned NBC, CNBC and MSNBC, all of which certainly loved ObamaCare back in the day, and still do.
Holder cancels speech, appearance in OKC amid angry protests. Learning from the Left.
Cost of Obama’s student aid scheme skyrockets. “…prompting all kinds of scams, including, naturally, moves by schools to raise tuitions since students can more easily have taxpayers help foot the bill for their education.” If there are any taxpayers left after he gets thru pivoting to the economy…
Obama hires top criminal defense attorney. “Neil Eggleston is not a political legal wonk. He is, first and foremost, a man who is called to protect politicians and/or administrations who find themselves in serious legal difficulties.” Maybe he’s worried Putin’s going to sue him or something.
Kerry: Climate Change “forcing farmers out of business and driving up grocery bills”. “We’re increasingly seeing events like those that scientists have long predicted.” He sees monsters under the beds in his yachts’ staterooms as well. Good grief.
Audit revealed IRS paid bonuses to employees who were in trouble over tax issues themselves. It’s consistent with gubbermint policy as long as the recipients are all Democrats…
Illinois: Taxpayers spent $12 million on Medicaid for dead people. Well, the deceased are a pretty reliable voting bloc there.
John Kerry: Let’s face it, things were simpler during the Cold War. Yeah, well things do seem a lot harder when you don’t know what the hell you’re doing.
AP reporter to State Dep’t spokesman: Seriously, can you identify a single accomplishment since 2010? Accomplishments? For one thing, Hillary succeeded in making one obscure YouTube videographer famous!
Obama will burn more than 35,000 gallons of fuel on Earth Day, emitting 375 TONS of carbon dioxide. “‘Earth Day is about taking action!” I’ll say… that’s almost as much toxic gas as he emits during one of his speeches.
Obama handles Russia like Republicans: Overpromise, under-deliver, and write off. Democratic ally says of Obama: “He’s just not a natural leader.” The unbearable lightness of being Obama.
Medical Homelessness: Forget “you can keep your doctor”, try finding one first. “…patients are caught adrift in a system woefully short of primary care doctors. ‘Insurance coverage is a necessary but not a sufficient condition to assure that people get access to care when they need it.’” What America really needs is a shortage of empty-suited sort-of gods.
Cherokee women want to meet Elizabeth Warren on book tour. “To get Warren to understand why they are hurt and angry that she assumed, then discarded, Native American identity.” To paraphrase Dorothy Parker, Warren’s is not a book to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.
Illinois House Committee wants taxpayers to spend $100 Million on Barack Obama Library. “Somehow, House Speaker Michael Madigan thinks this is an appropriate use of funds despite the state’s more than $100 billion pension crisis and $6.6 billion in unpaid bills.” The audacity of dopes.
Dem Rep on ObamaCare: “I think we may lose the Senate.” So they shouldn’t say “ObamaCare” either? WTF can they say? How about “Adios”?
Eastern Ukraine militants snub Geneva deal on crisis. That didn’t take long. Is the ink even dry yet?
U.S. to announce ground troops to Poland, says… Polish defense minister. Ooooh, a pivot back to Europe… Hope the troops will be given weapons.
New Hillary memoir to be titled “Hard Choices”? A sample: “A phone call for me? Ben who? Tell him I’m out! What difference does he make?”
Unsettling video shows large al Qaeda meeting in Yemen. They’re undoubtedly there in response to Kerry’s calls for action on climate change.
Elizabeth Warren: I was hurt by those attacks on my ancestry. Unlike Sarah Palin, for example, who we’re sure just loves all those attacks on herself.
Complete Fiasco. “Putin’s winning without even having to invade.” At this rate, by the time January 2017 rolls around, Putin will be not even having to invade Ohio.
86M full-time private-sector workers sustain 148M benefit takers. The corollary, as tweeted today: “Taxes are the price we pay for 7 of the 10 richest counties being within commuting distance of DC.” Buying votes with OPM.
Bloomberg: “I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close.” “Pointing to his work on gun safety, obesity and smoking cessation, he said with a grin: “I am telling you if there is a God, when I get to heaven I’m not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in.” Ummm, not too self-righteous, is he?
Harry Reid on Bundy range war: “It’s not over.” “We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it.” Yeah, that’s just for politicians and journOlists.
