Venezuela tackles food shortage with ID card system. “Government says system will stop people overbuying groceries for resale – but critics say it’s the first step towards rationing.” Well, that’s what happens when a benevolent socialist country doesn’t have any Koch Brothers.
Americans say 75% of politicians are corrupted, 70% use political power to hurt enemies. ” “It is said that power corrupts, but actually it’s more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.” -David Brin
Gibbs: Employer mandate will be killed. But there’s a bug: “…canceling the employer mandate will provide even more incentive for those employers to dump their workers into the exchanges. That means tens of millions more Americans will have to deal with massive price hikes in premiums, and deductibles…” There’s only one solution here: KOCH! CLIMATE CHANGE! SQUIRRELS!
Massive voter fraud discovered in North Carolina’s 2012 election. “155,692 voters with the same first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state – and the latest date of registration or voter activity did not take place within N.C.” See, there’s no need for voter ID!
Study: Vegetarians less healthy, lower quality of life than meat-eaters. “…the vegetarian diet … carries elevated risks of cancer, allergies and mental health disorders.” Well, this study was done in Austria so maybe something was lost in the translation from Austrian to English.
US may move warship into Black Sea. Undoubtely it’s going there to fire shells into the air and destroy the excess carbon dioxide molecules emitted during John Kerry’s climate change speeches.
Japan’s answer to Fukushima: Coal Power. “…coal-fired power capacity would increase to … 47 gigawatts over the next decade…, up 21% from the time right before the Fukushima accident.” Coal???? What, making multi-billionaires out of Democrat cronies and donors global warming doesn’t matter to these people?
Hysterical Kerry: “Climate change is a global threat, touching every region of the world and every sector of the economy.” But not so big a threat to cause King Putts and Queen Moochy to vacation closer to home, eh?
Harry Reid accused of hypocrisy over billionaire donors. Dirty Harry is so two-faced the word should be rechristened Harry-crisy.
Yankee One Dollar closing remaining stores due to Obamacare. “Citing Obamacare and an increase in the state’s minimum wage… closing down shop on all 23 remaining locations.” Employees lose jobs, shoppers lose stores, landlords lose tennants. You call it sad, the Left calls it “helping the little guy.”
Which Democrat are you? Take the quiz and see which Democrat you most resemble. We surmise no one’s like Barack Obama because there’s nothing about lightbringing and sort-of-godliness in any of the questions (also nothing about golf or red lines either.)
The four roots of Obama’s foreign policy catastrophes. “…trust in the benign intentions of those who want to destroy us combined with a mistrust of the West – still animates this president.” These four wouldn’t be as bad if it weren’t for a fifth problem: the man simply will not learn from (or even acknowledge) his mistakes.
State Department gets tough on Putin by posting selfies. “State Dept spokeswoman Jen Psaki was mocked Thursday after posting a photo of herself on Twitter holding a sign that read #UnitedForUkraine @StateDeptSpox.” The next step will be for Kerry to have a word with the Russkies: “Nice climate you got there, Vlad… Be a shame if it changed.”
Venezuelan officials probing opposition messages coded into crossword puzzles. What’s a four-letter word for “socialist”? Discuss amongst yourselves.
Time to break out the RICO statute and break up the Democrats. “… think of the Democratic Party as what it really is: a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.” “Politicians are like rats. What they eat themselves is trivial compared to what they destroy getting it.” – Author unknown.
Lawmakers told IRS probe will take years. “…it takes time to have attorneys delete protected taxpayer information.” They “care” about taxpayers when it suits their purpose to care about taxpayers.
Obama: N. Korea nuclear program “unacceptable”. And if the Norks don’t disarm, BO’s gonna say “unacceptable” again. Maybe he should try a new tack:

Obama dismisses Russia as a “regional power” that invades other countries “out of weakness”. “Russia is also key to dealing with Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and along with China, key to deal with North Korea. If that’s what a ‘regional power’ does, what does it take to be a global power?” To Obama’s sooper brain, a top-notch free thrower and a schedule full of weak teams.
The shift from low-wage worker to robot worker. “President Obama’s proposal to increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 per hour could make it worthwhile for employers to adopt emerging technologies to do the work of their low-wage workers.” As robots become cheaper and smarter while sooper-genius pols persist in making it more expensive to hire people, this outcome is a no-brainer…. except perhaps to those with no brains.
Thousands of Puerto Ricans look to leave as island enters 8th year of recession. “People who live off government support here are doing better than those of us who work and pay taxes.” From each according to their ability, to each according to their need – the Constitution sez so in the Santa Commerce clause.
White House pushes “wooden skyscrapers” as a solution to global warming. Hmmm… wood is made from trees and trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and replace it with oxygen. So maybe making everything out of wood is not really the best idea if carbon dioxide is a problem. But it’s a great way to suck up to Big Lumber.
California gubernatorial candidate has an interesting past. “Glenn Champ is a man with a past — a criminal past — and he wants the voters of California to elect him governor because, as a criminal, he can deal better with politicians.” And he’s a registered sex offender so he’s qualified. “We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.” – Aesop
Soros and Lagarde’s IMF vs Putin’s Russia – The Ukraine coup and the war for the world… “…an alternative take on the Russian/Ukraine ‘crisis’…” Hey, how come the Democrat-Media complex doesn’t bloviate about Soros’ influence in politics (which is much greater than the Kochs’.) Maybe “Soros” has too many letters for them to remember. Keep it stupid, simple.
The Washington Post’s suspect attack on the Koch Brothers. “Maybe it’s a coincidence that this particular reporter is blowing the Koch brothers influence all out of proportion on a hot button environmental issue, right as the Democratic Party is ramping up a multi-million dollar ad campaign against them. Maybe it’s also a coincidence that Tom Steyer sits on the board of the Center For American Progress where her husband works.” Ummm, right, whatta coincidence…
Mandates never work: The case of auto insurance. “…it is a fantasy that a group of legislators in Washington, DC or Albany, NY can wave their magic wands and make everybody do what they want.” The aim is not to actually fix anything, it’s to create opportunities for rent-seeking and power-grabs while making the rubes who voted for the idiots feel good about themselves.
