Anyone who still believes that former special counsel Robert Mueller is a stand-up, honest guy who truly wanted justice to prevail in his BS “investigation” of POTUS Donald Trump and “Russian collusion” will have to explain why we keep finding stellar examples of his rank anti-Trump partisanship. Like, for instance, the fact that he and his team of Democrat-donating prosecutors led by that hack, Andrew Weissman, have altered source information used in the probe to make the president and his team appear guilty. Should James Comey Be Arrested For Spying On Trump? House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, who...

From coin tosses to high-card, Hillary Clinton cannot stop beating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16% when luck takes the place of voters. To break tied precincts in the Iowa Caucus a few weeks ago, Hillary won every coin toss -- 6 out of 6 -- the odds of which are less than 2%. In Nevada's caucus today, Democrats played a game of high-low card to determine a tie. And super-lucky Hillary just won with an ace to Bernie's 6 in the precinct of Pahrump, Nevada. Wall Street Journal: The 30 voters in Precinct 10 at Morse Elementary School split even,...

The written testimony that Jonathan Adler and I submitted for the House Oversight Committee hearing on the Internal Revenue Service’s unlawful attempt to increase taxes and spending under Obamacare is now online. An excerpt: Contrary to the clear language of the statute and congressional intent, this [IRS] rule issues tax credits in health insurance “exchanges” established by the federal government. It thus triggers a $2,000-per-employee tax on employers and appropriates billions of dollars to private health insurance companies in states with a federal Exchange, also contrary to the clear language of the statute and congressional intent. Since those illegal expenditures will exceed...

What Are Copper And Oil Signaling? By Eric McWhinnie September 24 2011 With the markets in turmoil, investors are looking for indicators that will help clean their crystal balls. Two of the more widely used economic indicators are copper and oil. Copper (NYSE:JJC) is often referred to as Dr. Copper, because of its ability to give insight to the future of the global economy. Oil (NYSE:USO) is often seen as the lifeblood of the economy since it is used in everything from plastics to finished motor gasoline. Recently, copper and oil have given investors reason to worry. On Friday, copper...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D–NV) introduced legislation to raise the debt ceiling this week. In evaluating his plans for future government spending, it becomes clear that budgeting for prudent defense is considered just another line item. While Americans intuitively know that national security is unlike any other category of federal spending, it is often treated with inherent bias through insider budgeting methods. Congress tends to selectively ignore what are called “baselines” used for comparing different spending proposals. This is convenient if a Member of Congress wants to generate more phantom cuts to appease a core audience—or, worse, to not...

Transcript from press conference of Pres. Barack Obama, Feb. 12th, 2011: CNSNEWS.COM: Mr. President, when you first took office you promised to create 2.5 million jobs by January, 2011. But the Labor Department report issued yesterday indicates that in fact 1.7 million jobs were lost during that period. Why did your plan fail? PRES. BARACK OBAMA: Ah, but it didn't fail. To the contrary, we succeeded beyond all expectations. You misquoted our promise. We said we would create or "save" 2.5 million jobs. And a report prepared by my White House team being distributed to you demonstrates that had we...

California's first-in-the-nation law to curb greenhouse-gas emissions is developing behind the scenes differently than the Schwarzenegger administration's public pronouncements would suggest, with as much emphasis given to corporate economics as to scrubbing the air. That focus was not contained in the original law that ordered cuts in carbon emissions--a law that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed last year to international acclaim. Rather, it was part of the executive order he signed three weeks later that rearranged the chain of command over emission regulation; ordered a new, high-level advisory panel to develop a marketing scheme in which the polluters themselves determine emission...

IS THE WOMAN WHO HID HILLARY CLINTON'S MAGICALLY APPEARING THESIS GETTING HER ORDERS FROM CLINTON-MACHINE LAWYERS? by Mia T, 3.04.07 After the call from the White House, Wellesley's president, Nannerl Overholser Keohane, consulted with lawyers and closed access to any thesis written by a U.S. president or first lady, a rule affecting only Hillary D. Rodham's thesis. Keohane moved on later that year to be president of Duke University, and now is a visiting professor at Princeton, where she teaches political philosophy, leadership and feminist theory. An Arkansan who was eight years ahead of Hillary Rodham at Wellesley, Keohane...

Teachers, school officials and parent-teacher groups agreed Thursday to back Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's plan for education, which increases funding next year but provides $2 billion less than schools could claim under a voter-approved law. The plan is a key part of Schwarzenegger's proposed budget, set for release Friday. But even with the education savings, the governor still must find a way to close a projected $12 billion budget gap next year. Leaders of major state education groups - the California Teachers Association, Association of California School Administrators and the California PTA - stood alongside the Republican governor Thursday in support...
