Democrats' Health Care 'Ponzi Schemes'

November 17, 2009

"We have grave concerns that the real effect of the provisions would be to create a new federal entitlement program with large, long-term spending increases that far exceed revenues. This is especially the case if savings from the first decade of the program are spent on other health reform priorities." - Letter by seven Democratic Senators to Majority Leader Reid, October 23, 2009

Jobs 'Saved or Created' in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist

November 16, 2009

In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending.

At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says. There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

SPRINGFIELD -- After uncertainty down to the very end, state lawmakers have voted to skip a pay raise this year and change how they get raises in the future.

The House voted 87-0 on Friday to override Gov. Pat Quinn's veto on Senate Bill 2090, which reversed how pay raises are handed out to lawmakers and other top state officials. The Senate already voted to reject Quinn's change, so now it becomes law.

Wouldn't you like to be a politician?

This year, the salary for the mayor of New York is $195,000. Next year, the job will pay $225,000. Most of us could squeak by on $195,000, but Mayor Bloomberg doesn't take his pay, except for $1 a year.

The president of the United States, on the other hand, is paid $400,000 a year. Now, $400,000 is real money and keep in mind, the president never has to pay for anything. When the president goes to a banquet or to dinner, do you think he pays for the meal? Of course he doesn't. You and I pay. I'll bet Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg don't even bother to put money in their pants pocket when they go out at night.

An archived article from 2004 on Barack Obama's run for the U.S. Senate in Illinois describes the relative political newcomer as "Kenyan-born," providing further fuel for speculation over the president's eligibilty for office.

The issue is significant, since there are a number of lawsuits challenging Obama's eligibility that argue if he was not born in the U.S., he does not meet the requirement in the Constitution that the president be a "natural born" citizen.

Eligibility attorney mocked, fined $20,000

A Georgia judge blasted attorney Orly Taitz, who has handled a number of court challenges to President Obama's eligibility, fining her $20,000 for what he called "frivolous" court actions and mocking her concern over Obama's background.

"Although counsel's present concern is the location of the president's birth, it does not take much imagination to extend the theory to his birthday," wrote U.S. District Judge Clay Land in an order released today. "Perhaps, he looks 'too young' to be president, and he says he stopped counting birthdays when he reached age thirty. If he refused to admit publicly that he is older than the constitutional minimum age of thirty-five, should Ms. Taitz be allowed to file a lawsuit and have a court order him to produce his birth certificate?

An ACORN worker in San Bernardino, Calif., says she assembled the groundwork for a case of self-defense, then picked up a gun and shot her former husband.

The statements by a woman identified as Tresa Kaelke at an ACORN office in California come in a new video released on Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com website. In San Bernardino, the two visited Kaelke's office posing as a politician and a prostitute to explain they were looking for help to set up a prostitution business, trafficking in underage girls from El Salvador.

September 8, 2009

A California judge today tentatively scheduled a trial for Jan. 26, 2010, for a case that challenges Barack Obama's eligibility to be president based on questions over his qualifications under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.

If the case actually goes to arguments before U.S. District Judge David Carter, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been argued in open court, according to one of the attorneys working on the issue. Carter ordered that attorney Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation can be added to the case to represent plaintiffs Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson.
