This AP headline is not good news for Americans nor the President.  And the Heritage Foundation gives us more glum news.  I wonder if the bad economic news is the reason why President Obama is complaining that the First Lady isn't getting paid. 

IRS overlooks fraud in some cases;  ours would be scrutinized.   More on this from the Washington Times.

Can't help but wonder how much fraud can be found in these numbers?  Just think, over 100 million now receiving federal welfare and these numbers do not include social security and medicare recipients.

The Drug is Government; the Pusher is President Obama.

If this CBO report was a Republican Congressional report, it would be slammed as a distortion by the main stream media.

Californians need a simple math class maybe then then they would prevent this from happening.

The advertisement that breaks all rules of civility, honesty and shows just how desperate the Obama Team is to stay in the White House.  

 Big Brother is alive and functioning well in New York City.

 The Heritage Foundation writes that President Obama denies gutting welfare reform.  Just once, could President Obama remember what President Truman's famous motto was (The buck stops here).

 Investors' Business Daily sets the New York Times straight.

Judicial Watch exposes more White House interference in things it should not be involved with.

Sen. Jeff Sessions explains on Fox News Radio the problems with President Obama's new immigration plan.  More here on the plan.   Can't help wondering what it will do to the unemployment rate...for legal citizens!

Obama by the numbers.

A must see if you are in NYC this weekend, soon to be around the state.   Check the link for further releases.

Governor George E. Pataki endorses our US Senate candidate, Wendy Long.  This proves you can win without a lot of money...grassroots is still the strongest way to get elected.  Help Wendy win by talking about her every day.

 Governor Cuomo is flexing his muscles on gun control.   Governor, guns are not the problem and more gun control in a state that already stifles the 2nd Amendment is certainly not the answer.  Everyone is outraged that evil madmen (for lack of a  better definition of people who perpetrate such horror) shattered the quiet of a movie theater and the solemn sanctity of a Sikh temple, but the knee-jerk reaction to call for more gun control laws will not change what has happened nor will it prevent future atrocities.  If you really want to help change what has, unfortunately, become far too common; why not emphasize the sanctity of life, how precious each life is.  Why not campaign for elevating how precious each day that we enjoy the beauty of a sunrise can be a day that we celebrate what each and every one of us has to offer to make our world a better place to live in.  Some may say that this approach is too simplistic, and it may well be, but for far too long we, as a society, have forgotten and ignored how precious life can be...until some evil madman reminds us how fleeting life can be.

Wednesdays with Walter E. Williams. 
And a bonus Thomas  Sowell.

The Heritage Foundation writes about its concerns in the Middle East.

More from Heritage regarding the probable executive fiat regarding cybersecurity.


So Mr. Carney, Drudge has to be mindful of his sources, but Senator Harry Reid doesn't?  Just asking...

Always read the fine print. And know that the person you are signing for will repay the debt.

If anyone still had doubts that Obamacare/tax must be repealed, read this.  Then go here to find out how you can help dismantle Obamacare/tax.  While New York Governor initiated a Health Exchange by fiat, number three on the list is to take back the U.S. Senate and we can help by electing Wendy Long to the Senate.  Save the date:  October 17 for the first (only?) debate. Talk her up to your neighbor and friends....your friends and family will listen to what you have to say and trust you more than a TV or ratio ad.  We will make the difference in November and take back the US Senate and our Country.

More on health care here.

Is this our future?

How about some relief to the taxpayers?  "Extra" money isn't extra, it is an excess taken from people struggling to pay their bills, people who have gone without some perks despite the long hours they work to meet their obligations...every elected official should remember this fact when they are tempted to give it away or make improvements.  (Note the expansion requested for health care unions....)

Speaker Christine Quinn, listen to the people who create jobs.

Is anyone really surprised?  (When did people/elected officials loose their common sense?)

Explaining conservative economics in 25 quotes.

Arthur Brooks on earning your success.

Tuesday's with Thomas Sowell.

President Obama spends campaign money almost the same as he spends our money (the difference being, he borrows from China when he can't take it from us) , then he trolls for more cash to spend.  

Is this why President Obama would not allow the Keystone XL Pipeline, as the article says, one cannot blame Canada, we can only hope that Canada will give us another chance after the November elections.

When the President can't get his way in Congress, he turns to Executive Orders.  All Hail the King!

What is going on with the White House Press Corps?


Michael Barone on  Two Liberal-Media Blindspots.

Carney dances, but not very well, while the WSJ calls on Sen. Reid to stay classy, Harry.  (he can't!!)

The Heritage Foundation with more on Solyndra. 

You won't read this in the main stream media.

Arthur Laffer on the real stimulus record.

Surprise, Mayor Bloomberg gets it right! Mr. Mayor stick to this and quit being a Nanny Mayor.

Let's hope Christine Quinn sticks with her position.

George J. Marlin is right! No one is forcing any official to run for re-election, they know what the salary is when they make the choice to run again.

Weekly Wrap-Up

This week we saw the Tea Party once again flex its muscles...

And we saw the American people flock to Chick-Fil-A to take a stand for freedom of speech and religion. Did Christine Quinn and her fellow censors get the message?

 

As Deroy Murdock notes in National Review, Chick-Fil-A-gate “confirms the intolerance of the supposedly ‘open-minded’ American Left.”

 

The media decided from the outset that Mitt Romney’s overseas trip would be a disaster – so they reported that it was a disaster. Charles Krauthammer gives us the real story...

 

Today’s unemployment numbers confirm the utter failure of Obama-nomics: The unemployment rate continues to creep upward, and job creation is still tepid.  

John Podhoretz notes that even before these latest numbers, we’ve been getting ambushed on all sides by alarming economic data. He also recalls President Obama’s words from 2009: “If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” Fair enough.

Wendy Long, the Conservative Party and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, responded to the grim economic news with a list of five practical policy changes that would kick-start the economy. 

Which policy reform do you believe would be the most effective in creating jobs and prosperity? Vote today in our new Weekly Poll.

This is yet another example of how Wendy Long has serious, sensible ideas for a better New York... while Kirsten Gillibrand has book clubs.

I hope you have a good book to read this weekend, and that you’ll make it a great one!

Congressman Peter King is right to call for FBI Director Mueller to expand the investigation into National Security leaks.

The Heritage Foundation asks if Conservative can be an environmentalists,  need they ask, of course we can, we respect our environment unlike some who worship it and understand the need to work outweighs the need to protect certain biological species.

PJ Media has a good column on President Obama's "you didn't build it yourself" statement.

I wonder what President Obama thinks of this presidential job creation chart, how will his spin-misters explain it?

I'm not surprised that Mitt Romney pays while President Obama doesn't.

No surprise here either; actually I am surprised he voted for it since he normally voted present, but then again did he actually vote for it or just support it by being a co-sponsor in 2007?

Is this the smoking gun in the fast and furious debacle. 

Karl Rove analyzes President Obama's ads.

News from Wendy Long here,  here and in the Buffalo News.  If you cannot donate due to President Obama's economy or can't find the time to knock on doors, you can email a letter to your local paper, as this woman did, and help Wendy win.  Help get her name out there and get the grassroots involved.  Ask Ted Cruz if it works.   Email her press releases to your friends and family,  together we can elect Wendy Long.

The IRS wants its share of each Gold Medal won in London.  America is one of only a handful of countries which taxes "worldwide" prize income earned overseas.

The Heritage Foundation reminds us that today is the day the Obama Administration ends our Nation's First Amendment right of religious freedom.   Today is also the day that the new HHS  rules seems to cater to sexual active women.  I really do not think this is the 'hope and change" Americans voted for 4 years ago, but we will find out in just over three months.

Desperation can lead people to do or say outlandish things, this is certainly beyond the pale.  Sen. Harry Reid also was beyond the pale when he stated that an unidentified "shareholder at Bain Capitol" said that Romney hadn't paid his taxes in 10 years.  I wonder how soon it will be before the main stream media starts reporting the Republican Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, is a felon.  The MSM certainly is doing its best to "paint" Mr. Romney as incapable of being president, fortunately there are some in the MSM that report the facts.

More on the Romney trip and how the MSM is undermining him.

NYC Council Speaker Quinn agrees that she overstepped her authority regarding Chick-fil-A.  Do you think Rahm Emanuel will?  Maybe if he sees this, Chicago voters lining up for Chick-fil-A.  Mayor Rahm should be more concerned about this than what the owner of Chick-fil-A thinks.

Citizens United and American Politics.

It really is getting harder and harder to find all the ways government wastes our tax dollars, but naming a project Pecan Street certainly peeks the imagination.  Learn about Pecan Street here.

Good article by George J. Marlin on the legislative session that ended in June.
