Connecticut city tries to balance budget with 5% tax on rental income – Fails
When will politicians learn efforts to increase tax revenue have a downstream effect, usually causing serious negative economic issues for the people they are trying to help?
Read More25% of Social Security disability benefits may be paid out improperly
And the hits keep coming for the Obama administration! OK … it’s not just the Obama administration, it’s the culture of federal government dependency that has been growing for decades. A Senate panel reviewed 300 disability case files and found 25 percent “failed to properly address insufficient, contradictory, or incomplete evidence.”
Read MoreFriday’s Afghanistan attack wiped out 8% of US Harrier fighting fleet
Two Marines were killed and another nine members of collation forces were injured on Friday night at Camp Bastion – managed and operated by the British – in Afghanistan. I’m curious to know how many of you know we lost eight out of 10 Marine Harrier jets in Afghanistan during the attack.
Read MoreChicago is what’s wrong with the American public education system (Update)
Exactly what I expected from the City of Chicago … a complete cave to the teachers union that will result in status quo test scores, embarrassing graduation rates and horrible skill sets for kids “graduating” from the Chicago school system.
Read MorePaul Ryan heckled by leftie as he goes after Obama on liberty
Of course. This man can’t let Ryan address the world on personal liberty, which Ryan went on to say it is one of the key issues in this campaign.

Read MoreAttack in Benghazi, Libya not a reaction to stupid video
More or less, the death of US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three staff members looks to have been the result of a security breach that led a brazen attack and intelligence coup for the radicals in Libya. Not reaction to a movie. This morning, we have an exclusive story in The Independent from the UK.
Read MoreDNC shows images of Russian warships in tribute to veterans (Interesting Update)
I think the title says it all. Drudge posted a well substantiated story (and here) about the backdrop images used to “honor” our veterans on the last night of the Democratic convention. It was an image of four Russian Federation ships that are part of their Black Sea Fleet. It also contained seven American F-5 trainer…
Read MoreLibya and Egypt in violation of United Nations treaty
Some of you may be asking “where were the Marines?” That’s a good question, but I want to know where was the perimeter security for the US Embassies that were attacked.
Read MoreA disturbing pattern throughout the Middle East and north Africa
We’ve helped, directly and indirectly, to install Islamists into positions of power in Libya and Egypt within the last year. You can clearly argue we do not know who is in control of either country or what their intentions are. This patchwork of power in the region is unstable at best, and throughout – including…
Read MoreBreaking: Four Americans including US Ambassador reported killed in Libya
Arab Fall. Radical Islamic fundamentalists showed their intolerance and hate towards America and the free people of the world again. The Embassy in Cairo was infiltrated, and four Americans at the Libyan Embassy were killed after a movie – of unknown origin – was rumored to insult Muhammad. These rumors give rise to direct attacks on…
