Liberals Destroy Homeless Town

More hypocrisy from Silicon Valley

Uber-hip and rich San Jose, Ca., just ripped down the  nation’s largest homeless community –a 68-acre shantytown called “The Jungle.”

It was built along a stream called Coyote Creek and featured lean-tos, underground bunkers and a tree house.

The city was pushed to act by the rotting trash that piled up not to mention the rats and human waste.

And the action appears appropriate and necessary.

But why did they allow it to build up in the first place? And could you image the scorn the residents of San Jose would heap on a Texas or Pennsylvania community compelled to act in the same way?

Apartments now average $2,633 per month in the San Jose region up from $1,761 two years earlier. The median home price is nearly $700,000

The area has about 7,600 homeless with about 75 percent sleeping outside on sidewalks, in parks and under freeway embankments even before their shantytown was destroyed. It’s a greater percentage than any other U.S. metropolitan area.

In a fit of liberal guilt, San Jose spent $4 million to get housing for 144 of them. Nice job. Now just 7,456 to go.

Google Democrat Tool

The Democrats have named uber-billionaire plutocrat Eric Scmidt to its election post-mortem group, Bloomberg.com has revealed.

It’s just something for those of you not inclined to automatically push the D button to think about the next time you use a Google product.

Do you really want the enemy to track your every move?

During the midterm election cycle, Schmidt donated $60,000 to Democratic congressional candidates and chipped in $250,000 to Senate Majority PAC.

We guess the joke is on the OWS types who voted for Obama et al to stick it Wall Street and the “crony capitalists”.

We suggest that for searches one use DuckDuckGo. Their politics may not be the same as ours but truthfully we don’t know as they don’t make an issue of it. Regardless, they don’t track you.

Further, they are based in the neighborhood, Paoli, so that’s a bonus.

For web browsing, avoid Chrome. We use Firefox. If you can’t overlook their recent political cravenness, try Opera or stick to Safari if you have a Mac.

But don’t give aid and comfort to something that is obviously the opponent of freedom and a friend to feudalists

EPA Pays Salaries To Non-Workers

The Daily Signal reports that from fiscal years 2011 to 2013 the Environmental Protection Agency paid $17,550, 100 in paid administrative leave salaries for 69 employees.

Beside the full salaries, these workers also got health benefits, and the leave counted towards their pensions.

Oh, and they also continued to climb the federal pay scale.

They also got vacations and sick days which leads us to the Zen question “Can you get vacation when you are on vacation?”

One of the workers was on paid leave for over four years, The Daily Signal said. He or she should certainly send a thank you note to President Obama.

Pretty sweet.

Paid administrative leave is supposed to be a punishment.

Who says the federal government can’t be cut?

EEOC Sues ACA Wellness Programs

The Quisling crony capitalists who gave aid and comfort to the passage of the Obamacare disaster have been stabbed in the back and are as angry as wet hornets.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)  is suing them — well Honeywell International and two smaller firms anyway but all are in its sights — for the “wellness programs” that were instrumental in getting the bossy-types on board for the “Affordable” Care Act.

It should be understood that the EEOC is under the auspices of the President.

Wellness programs give corporations a chance to question workers about the details of their personal lives, make them undergo screenings, and force them to attend weight-loss or smoking-cessation programs.

Obamacare allows huge incentives for those taking part in workplace wellness programs of up to 50-percent of their monthly premiums, deductibles and other costs. This means smokers and heavy people and people with pre-existing conditions face major financial discrimination, not to mention the invasions of privacy.

The also remarkably stupid American Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits employers from discriminating against those with disabilities including blindness and mental retardation. This means they can’t require medical testing of employees. Further, the EEOC considers obesity a disability with regards to the act.

Oh, just watch the train wreck.

And this does not even attempt to address trying to get those with dangerous sex lives to change their ways.

The wise and simple solution is to completely ban the practice of employer-provided health care. Give raises to compensate for the loss of the benefits and let the workers buy their insurance in the same fashion they do their homes and food.

Most employers — the successful ones, the ones you want to work for — don’t care about your personal life. All they want from you is for you to show up on time and do what you are paid to do.

They don’t care about your skin color either or, generally, sex.

Get government out of hiring decisions.

Obamacare Deceiver Got Rich Off Obamacare

Jonathan Gruber, the MIT professor who has boasted about how he deceived the “stupid” American people to get Obamacare passed, has been paid  $5.2 million by the federal government and 12 state governments for consulting services to assist in the design and implementation of the “Affordable” Care Act, reports Breitbart.com.

Gruber  certainly  did deceive a lot of people who put their trust in traditional media authorities. These weren’t the conservatives though, and most of those he did successful deceive are of the “fooled me once shame on you,” types which bodes ill not just for the future of the old media establishment but for the Democrat Party itself.

Truthy Was Fed Funded Speech Suppression

Tom Coniglia submitted this link to an article on FrontpageMag.com that describes a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to a data-mining project dubbed “Truthy” that cost taxpayers nearly $1 million.

The grant was ICES: Large Meme Diffusion Through Mass Social Media (Aware #1101743) and was intended, as per the grant’s abstract to “. . . create a web service open to the public for monitoring trends, bursts, and suspicious memes. This service could mitigate the diffusion of false and misleading ideas, detect hate speech and subversive propaganda, and assist in the preservation of open debate.”

That those with a vested political position seek the authority to declare what speech is “hate” and “subversive propaganda”  in the name of open debate is about as Orwellian as it gets.

The name “Truthy” comes from political satirist and Democrat Party supporter Stephen Colbert. The site itself targeted messages and commentary connected to the words “Tea Party” “GOP” and “conservative,” according to a letter from Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX21) to the NSF.

And Smith wants answers.

And he — along with the rest of us — deserve them.

Smith notes that some have had social media accounts terminated because of “Truthy”.

If government agencies are seen taking sides by much, if not most, of America, then much, if not most, of America will see the government as the enemy.

This is a consequence that would be readily apparent to a kindergartner, and it is a bad thing.

To have a unified nation, government partisanship must become a big taboo. A good, but small, first step would be in exposing those who approved this grant and removing them from their jobs and banning them from any other government job, forever.

Wolf, Saylor Same Donors

The victory last night means the fight has just started. It’s not the beginning of the end, as Churchill said, but the end of the beginning.

Stan Saylor, the Pennsylvania House Republican Whip, who represents the 94th District, has much in common with Democrat Gov-Elect Tom Wolf,  namely the same big donors.

Louis J. Appell Jr., chairman of Susquehanna Real Estate LP, gave Citizens for Stan Saylor $126,000 between Sept. 24 and Nov. 3 with $100,000 coming on Oct. 3.

M. Thomas Grumbacher, chairman of The Bon-Ton Stores, gave $225,000 to Citizens for Stan Saylor with $200,000, interestingly, coming on Oct. 3 and the rest on Nov. 3.

Grumbacher has given Wolf $1,450,100 while Appell has given our governor-to-be $475,000.

Saylor is campaigning to be Majority Leader of the House Republicans which has a commanding majority of 119 to 84.

Guys like Grumbacher and Appell are not you and don’t have your interest at heart. Guys like Wolf and Saylor are far more likely to listen to them than you.

Stonewalled Reveals CBS To Be See B S

Sharyl Attkinsson Stonewalled Reveals CBS To Be See B S

Sharyl Attkisson, a five-time Emmy Aware winning reporter who served for two decades at CBS before leaving in disgust on March 14, has written a book blowing the lid off the blatant dishonesty that runs rampant at her former employer.

The book is Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation and Harassment in Obama’s Washington.

It describes how conservative analysts must always be labeled conservatives — albeit if their opinion really upsets a supervisor they bet to be labeled “right wing” — while liberals are merely called analysts.

She describes how her reporting on the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attack  was pulled off the air starting in October and regulated to the web.

She notes how an exclusive on-camera interviewed with Nakoula Basseley, the YouTube filmmaker initially blamed by Hillary Clinton for the disaster, was squelched.

It should be noted that Ms. Attkisson covered numerous stories critical of the Bush administration and other Republicans which her organization happily ran.

The book is proof positive that the old media who many so long depended upon for their information about world and political matters is inherent untrustworthy.

Jews Attacked On US Campuses

Noted pollster Frank Luntz has produced a video describing an horrific outbreak of antisemitism on US college campuses. It has  involved physical assaults and at least one hospitalization.

The perps are the usual suspects namely progressives seeking turmoil to give meaning to pathetic lives, and Muslims.

American Jews, please wake up. The people who claim to guided by tolerance are anything but. They are liars. Stop believing them.

Here is the video

Pope Francis Inspires John Kane Rebuke

Pope Francis, Oct. 23, declared corruption to be a greater evil than sin.

Remorse is possible only when one is aware of evil, which is not the case with a corrupt person said the Pope in an address to the International Association of Penal Law.

“It is hard for the one who has it to realize it; others realize it and have to tell him,” the Pope said.

Well, if  the Pope wants it, here it goes:

John Kane, you are corrupt.

You  use the automatically,  mostly involuntarily, deducted money from the paychecks of the members of Plumber’s Local 690 of Philadelphia and Vicinity for a $119,213 salary to co-chair the union’s vacation fund, a job  that you have confessed to the IRS takes but one hour per week.

That is corruption.

And that’s on top of the $156,537 you get as the union’s business manager for which you claim to work 39 hours per week.

That is corruption

And you fathered a child out of wedlock and neglected to support her.

That is corruption.

And you tried to talk her mother into aborting her.

That is corruption.

So Mr. Kane, in the name of Pope Francis, quit your campaign for Pennsylvania state senator in the 26th District as you are obviously not fit to hold office.

And give up your union salary as it is no different than theft.

Raise your family on the $40 per hour you would expect to earn in your trade.

And try to pay back the mother you abandoned  some of the $245,000 it cost her and her family to raise your daughter.

Hey, somebody had to say it.

In  related matter, Francis said “The scandalous concentration of global wealth is possible through the connivance of political authorities.”

Welcome to the Tea Party, Your Holiness.
