Obama to bypass Congress again – new student loan rules

By Steve McGough / June 9, 2014 /

In 2010, Congress pass and President Obama signed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act. Along with cutting off the private student loan market by removing subsidies, making loans pretty much the exclusive realm of the federal government, the legislation capped the repayments of new loans to 10 percent of the persons discretionary income. The previous cap…

30 shot in Chicago over the weekend (so far)

By Steve McGough / June 8, 2014 /

This is terrible. As of 6 p.m. tonight, NBC in Chicago is reporting there have been 30 people shot over the weekend in the windy city. I’m not one to ask “how are those strict Chicago gun laws working for you” for the simple fact it is easy to move firearms from place to place.…

“Running missions every single day” to find Bergdahl

By Steve McGough / June 8, 2014 /

We’ve got six soldiers who were in Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s unit. They were there the night he disappeared. They were there the morning the team found out he was missing. There were part of missions to go out and find him. And they are being discredited?

Zero Tolerance Watch: No medication in school, and since sunscreen is a medication…

By Steve McGough / June 7, 2014 /

And you thought the zero common sense trend just applied to toy guns, pizza slices in the shape of a gun, pointing your finger in the shape of a gun, seeing a cloud shaped as a gun and – of course – school prayer. Au contraire mon frere.

The facts are not in yet, but it looks like an employee or contractor at Access Health CT – the Obamacare exchange for Connecticut – may have stolen the names, dates of birth and social security numbers of 400 people who are either enrolled or applying to the program.

Texas border overwhelmed with illegal aliens, including children

By Steve McGough / June 7, 2014 /

There is an active marketing campaign to ensure a flood of illegal aliens keep coming from Mexico and Central America. Certainly there are many people south of the border – including the Mexican government – encouraging the migration, but the campaign is actually being “funded” by the words of politicians in Washington, D.C.

Zero Tolerance Watch: 7-year-old may be expelled for toy gun

By Steve McGough / June 6, 2014 /

We have another zero tolerance issue in Western Pennsylvania. Let me make this clear. This type of school administration stupidity is part of the intentional destruction of the United States of America and a complete war on common sense.

The value of a mortgage investment vs renting

By Steve McGough / May 16, 2014 /

Recently, we’ve seen multiple news stories suggesting buying a home and having a mortgage is not necessarily a good investment, and when making the decision to buy a home, you really should not consider it as an investment vehicle since your “rate of return” would suck. Why has this become a news-cycle theme all of a…

French foreign minister on climate – 500 days until “climate chaos”

By Steve McGough / May 14, 2014 /

So what does French foreign minister Laurent Fabius know that we don’t know? He’s set a line in the sand, a deadline if you will, outright stating that we have 500 days left to avoid climate chaos.

In early March … Ukraine issues “will not” affect US/Russia Space Station future

By Steve McGough / May 14, 2014 /

I was reflecting on the future of the Space Station back in 2008 during the conflict between Russia and Georgia. How would the station continue to operate if diplomacy between the US and Russia took a dive? Certainly the Space Station is an international effort, but what if? The same exact subject came up in late…
