This is funny as all get out – and EXACTLY what low cost States should be doing to the money-grubbing ones.  I put this post up yesterday about the deep Blue State of Connecticut eyeing more revenue by going after the endowment funds held by Yale with the main message of “theft by the point of a pen”.  The message was that private property really isn’t all that private when Legislators decide that “your’s is ours” under the Progressive rubric “We know how to spend your money than you do”.

And here comes Florida’s Governor Rick Scott rolling out the “tax free” carpet (emphasis mine):

Cute interactive chart over at The Blaze – pick a state and see the estimated number of illegals residing there (yes, The Blaze went all PC and called them “undocumented” instead of using the legal terminology)

Yesterday was Easter, the most holy day in the Christian calendar.  While Christmas seems to get the main billing in our secularized society, it is only the remembrance of His birth.  Easter is the observation of Jesus’s Resurrection – the entire event that defines what Christianity is – that God was made Man while still being God and willingly dying on the Cross as a propitiation for our sins.  In Pakistan, Muslim members of the Taliban deliberately targeted Christians observing Easter with a suicide bomber, killing around 60 and injuring hundreds more.

So what do you think our State Department formally said about this?  Do you think this religiously motivated attack included, you know, words describing those religions? Er….

Yet another stellar video from one of our favorites – Bill Whittle:

“Left/right, Progressive/Conservative, Democrat/Republican… The names change and evolve but the core difference remains constant: The Collectivists vs. The Individualists. In his latest FIREWALL video, Bill Whittle — TruthRevolt commentator and Director of the Firewall at the Horowitz Freedom Center — shows how violence, disruption and intimidation have always been the tools of the Collectivists.“

Ivanpah is the multibillion dollar solar electrical generation plant that was built in the California desert a few years ago; we’ve written about it here, here and here.  Well, there were doubts aplenty then about it and now the bill is about to come due.  From MIT Technology Review (emphasis mine):

When it first came online in late 2013, the massive Ivanpah concentrated solar power plant in the California desert looked like the possible future of renewable energy. Now its troubles underline the challenges facing concentrated solar power, which uses mirrors to focus the sun’s rays to make steam and produce electricity.

Last week the California Public Utilities Commission gave the beleaguered Ivanpah project, the world’s largest concentrated solar facility, one year to increase its electricity production to fulfill its supply commitments to two of the state’s largest utilities (see “One of the World’s Largest Solar Facilities Is in Trouble”).

The Blue Social Model failure – because the Democrats / Progressives / Socialists have no limiting factor beyond which Government should not tread, their main goal is not helping people but finding / taking money to feed their ideologic fix (that Government must be all things to all people doing anything they want it to).  So, they wage war and go where the money is…

…even it is from one of their main bases of support – the Ivory Tower.  If you are a conservative, ya just gotta smile on this Blue on Blue $$ fight.  After all, Progressives in Government truly believe they know better how to spend your money – even if it is from other Progressives that are churning out more Blue foot soldiers: Blue Civil War Escalates (emphasis mine):

Connecticut Democrats are going after Yale, for the same reason Henry VIII went after the monks and Willie Sutton went after the banks.

Whatever beneficent sounding name the Marxist leftists now want to be called (e.g., Liberals, Progressives, Democratic Socialists) to hide their real intentions, they are getting lots of people killed.  (And, I am not referring to the murders (Democide) of over 100 million un-tried and un-convicted citizens in the last century by the “utopian” governments the Marxists want for us, demonstrated by the Soviet Union, China (PRC), and Cuba.)

I refer to the Marxist leftists’ policies that jeopardize law-abiding people while increasing the danger from criminals and terrorists.

If being a “gun free zone” has prevented a single act of violence, the evidence would be repeated endlessly.  “Gun free zones” only provide safe spaces for criminals, terrorists, and crazy people to kill, rape, and/or rob defenseless people.

As demonstrated in Paris, Chicago, Brussels, and all over the world, terrorists, criminals, and even insane people can get the weapons they want; no gun laws will stop them.  Gun laws are only obeyed by law-abiding people.

Overly restrictive gun laws have cost many Americans, and others, their lives by making them defenseless in the face of danger.  Battered and threatened women are killed waiting for gun permit approvals; their restraining orders didn’t protect them.  The high cost of gun permits make many people defenseless victims in high crime areas.  And, since armed police were apparently absent, only armed civilians could have reduced the carnage in Paris or San Bernardino.
