This is what happens when you trust the government with your money and you life… Daily Caller Federal officials have a secret list of 11 Obamacare health insurance co-ops they fear are on the verge of failure, but they refuse to disclose them to the public or to Congress, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation … Read more
Ambassador Danny Dannon stands before the UN Security Council displaying a sign which reads, “How to stab a jew,” in the aftermath of a Palestinian marking himself as a member of the press and attacking an Israeli soldier. He was shot dead.
From “Six Things we learned about the Democrats last week“ (after their debate) Robert Tracinski offers a list that ends with no room for old-school democrats like poor ole Jim Webb. Among Democrats who believe unabashedly in a big government utopia, who no longer make much pretense of caring about economic growth or national security, and … Read more
Hillary said she wants a gun buy-back like Australia, but that was a mandatory confiscation. The government ponied up some cash but there was nothing optional about it. Making all of Australia a gun free zone had the expected effect, but not the one Hillary or any other Democrat promises. Gun owners in Australia were … Read more
Today the 603 Alliance held the first conservative caucus in the history of New Hampshire. There were over 700 Granite State grass roots activists in attendance. It was free and all Republican Presidential candidates were invited to participate, although not all chose to do so. You could feel the energy in the room as soon as you walked in and people were actually having fun. Fun is not often used to describe political events.
Heh! (H/T: Powerline)
We had a great time at the caucus yesterday. I’ll be posting a cleaned up version of GrokTALK! later today – we did the 2 hour program from the 39 degree Durgen Pulling Arena. Then we watched the caucus process unfold from check in to the final vote.
For the record, almost none of the 603 Alliance committee voted. In fact, I think only Skip and I sat in the stands for a candidate and I waited until the end. Fiorina did make a third place showing but it was obvious she lacked the numbers to corral enough attendees to win the majority grassroots voters unless a large number from one of the other two moved before the next vote. So, yeah, I voted for Cruz.
He was higher up on my list than Dr. Carson.
Two current NFL Quarterbacks–Peyton Manning and his brother Eli–recently made maximum donations of $2,700 to a Republican presidential candidate. Very interesting.
Here’s the not-so-interesting part:
Yep, she’ll say what she has to in order to get elected, apparently…then and now. Is she really related to John Kerry? (H/T: Liberal Logic 101)
From Matt Ridley via Café Hayek:
In the mid-1970s it was briefly fashionable for journalists to write scare stories about the recent cooling of the globe, which was presented as undiluted bad news. Now it is fashionable for them to write scare stories about the recent warming of the globe, which is presented as undiluted bad news.
Like I’ve said before, I’ve been listening to both sets of dribble (“It’s gonna get cold!”, “It’s gonna get hot!” and swinging back to “cool?”) for 40 years. Everything is a crisis and only a few know how to “fix” whatever the latest crisis is being waddled around as IMMEDIATE!!! And in those 40 years, three things have been crystal clear:

Hillary Clinton said that the Australian style gun control (you know confiscation) “…would be worth considering doing… on the national level” in Keene, NH yesterday. Oddly she spoke without a Southern or black accent. Must come and go… like hot flashes.
It came down to Carly, Carson, and Cruz. They did the most work, they encouraged their supporters to attend and turn out was great, but in the end Ted Cruz attracted the most attendees at the Caucus. Effort won the day. Over 700 grassroots activists turned out and they all saw who put in the effort. … Read more
David Harsanyi at the Federalist, explores the problem of Democrat/Socialists promoting an economic model with a history they choose to ignore.
In practice, of course, there’s not any difference between a Democratic Socialist and a Progressive Democrat — Hillary’s preferred designation these days — other than, perhaps, the speed at which one wants to work. (Ask her to explain the difference.) Sanders likes to stress the distinction between a Democratic Socialist and your commonplace authoritarian. But state coercion against individuals, even with the blessing of a majority, is still state coercion.
From early on in the planning stages the 603 Alliance wanted every Republican Presidential Primary Campaign, no matter how big or how small, to hold their own rally outside before the caucus this Saturday. We expended no small amount of time discussing the rules for that. Tent sizes, how many tents, could they bring food, and so on.
We invited the campaigns, and told them to bring supporters. We offered to let them speak to the voters. We offered to play a pre-recorded message from them to the assembled voters. The more conservative and libertarian minded campaigns heard from the 603 Alliance, repeatedly, with the opportunity.

…he should know. And if he knows, and is willing to let on, how much further Left has the Dems NOT been willing to admit to?
Remember, before becoming a “journalist” (ok, talking head), he was a long term Democrat Party operative. And here he is, telling everyone how far Left the Democrat Party has gone.
Pretty much, I think the question is not what is the difference is between the Democrats and Socialists, but would there be much difference between their future for the United States and what is happening in the self-proclaimed Socialist State of Venezuela (hope you stashed some T.P. away) or Cuba.
…she can’t tell us when her babies became human beings. Good on the reporter asking the question – abortion lovers just LOVE to use all kinds of scientific words (e.g., a clump of cells, tissue mass, zygot, embryo, fetus) in order to diminish the one enduring and truthful fact – it is Life. These same people get overwrought if they see a pregnant lady smoking, eating the wrong foods, or pounding down more brewskis than they believe is “healthy” – it’s all about the baby. But when it comes to abortion, well now, we see the obfuscation and deflection arise from deep within to protect the (sometimes casual) taking of that “child’s potential” (as Hillary has been saying lately).
Here, watch Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Chair of the Democrat National Committee, go frog eyed at the question, and then refuse to answer the question:
CCCC
She can’t. No, she really can’t. After all, when confronted with situation and having to admit that HER OWN CHILDREN were once in the same position, the same development state, as the babies that get rent limb from limb, how could she answer that question?
I came across this Tumblr post on Mike’s Corner. “Beelavender” writes….
“In line to get coffee, Manhattan. There are definitely some thing I miss about England, like, oh never wondering if my morning caffeine run will end in a gun battle.
Side note for those who care: I could have disarmed this dude and fired all rounds without much effort. And I’m only partially weapons trained – there are plenty of people with strength/skills wandering around.
America, you have a problem.
