EU: Stop All U.S. Products With European-Sounding Names
by Shifra on March 6, 2016If these EU trade negotiators get their way, there will be no more champagne on U.S. store shelves, unless from the Champagne region of France. And, you can say goodbye to gouda cheese. And kiss your Kraft parmesan bye-bye. Via NY Post: Have you ever heard that “real Champagne” only comes from the Champagne region of France? It’s a great thing to say at a party if you want to sound sophisticated and insufferable. In Europe, it’s also the law. It may soon be the law in the United States, too, if European trade negotiators get their way. They want to use a potential trade agreement between the United States and the European Union to ban the sale of any...

“Journalists” Were Jumping For Joy For Climate Change Deal. Here’s Why.
by Shifra on December 13, 2015Maybe they are celebrating the end of the “rise of the oceans.” Or, the “healing of the planet.” Or, maybe they’re celebrating another one of our Scolder-in-Chief’s schemes to bring down the U.S. a few more pegs.

WSJ: Dems’ ‘Climate Change’ ‘80 by 50’ Plan Will Lower U.S. Standard of Living
by Shifra on September 25, 2015When Obama, several weeks before the ’08 election, spoke of ‘fundamentally transforming’ the U.S., could any of us have possibly imagined that his real goal would be to lower the U.S. standard of living to that of…Mexico? Via WSJ: California Gov. Jerry Brown has a vision: When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, he wants his fellow Californians to emulate North Koreans. Meanwhile, many of Mr. Brown’s fellow Democrats—including President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders—will settle for putting Americans on a par with residents of Mexico. That’s the essence of the climate-change agenda of America’s most prominent Democrats. They have pledged to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050, (aka 80 by 50). Their plan will take those emissions to...

More Democrat Overregulation: ‘Schedules That Work Act’
by Shifra on July 27, 2015Whenever you hear a Lib spout the words “social justice” or “fairness,” you can be sure that it will not be about justice or fairness. It will, though, be about trying to control more of our lives. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and her Dem pals are trying to push through the “Schedules That Work Act,” which would require employers to give workers a minimum of two weeks’ advance notice of their work schedule. Because…fairness! Via Investor’s Business Daily: Never content to let life go on without their input, congressional Democrats now believe that it’s their job to tell businesses how to schedule employees. This is not about fairness; it’s about control. The Democrats don’t legislate — or issue executive orders —...

Did FLOTUS Just Admit Obama Regime Policies Are An Epic Fail ?
by Shifra on March 12, 2015Two weeks ago, as reported in CNS: Michelle Obama: ‘My Husband Believes Strongly’ Getting Mental Health Treatment Is ‘Sign of Strength’ – MObama told an audience …that her husband, President Barack Obama “believes strongly” that getting support and treatment for a mental health issue “isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength.” “It’s time to tell everyone who’s dealing with a mental health issue that they’re not alone, and that getting support and treatment isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength,” said Mrs. Obama. “That’s something that my husband believes strongly as president, because in this country when you’re fighting an illness whether that’s mental or physical you should be able to get the help...

Liberals’ Favorite ‘Income Inequality’ Economist Backtracks On His Ideas
by Shifra on March 10, 2015In an honest and courageous move, Thomas Piketty, who warned of rising income inequality, now says too much was made of his ideas. Will Paul Krugman, who used Piketty’s ideas to call for massive tax hikes on the rich, follow suit, and backtrack, too? Don’t hold your breath… Via WSJ: Robert Rosenkranz — Piketty Corrects the Inequality Crowd ‘Capital in the 21st Century,” a dense economic tome written by French economist Thomas Piketty, became a publishing sensation last spring when Harvard University Press released its English translation. The book quickly climbed to the top of best-seller lists, and more than 1.5 million copies are now in circulation in several languages. The book’s central proposition, that inequality in capitalist societies will...

IRS Offers Retroactive Welfare To Illegal Aliens Granted Amnesty By Obama
by Tammy on February 5, 2015As many of us, including myself, warned would be the case. With all the discussion about amnesty simply being about delaying deportations (we already don’t deport people), Obama’s amnesty has been about naturalization. That was obvious when we learned amnestied illegals would be given social security numbers. They already have ITIN numbers in order to file taxes, so why is the SSN important? Because you need that to get the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is automatic welfare through a “refund” check from the IRS. In other words, a massive redistribution of our wealth, a reward, to millions of foreigners on our soil. And it will be retroactive for 3 years. Not. Kidding. Via Washington Times. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen...

Gallup Chairman: 5.6% Unemployment Is A Big Lie
by dennisl59 on February 4, 2015**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By dennisl** Written by the Chairman of Gallup, someone who does statistics for a living. Via Gallup: Jim Clifton — The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment Here’s something that many Americans — including some of the smartest and most educated among us — don’t know: The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading. Right now, we’re hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is “down” to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market. None...

WSJ: Barack Obama As ‘President George Costanza’
by Shifra on January 30, 2015In a recent editorial, the Wall Street Journal compared POTUS to the Seinfeld character, George Costanza. Interesting choice. (Personally, I would have gone with ‘President Alfred E. Neuman’) Via WSJ: President Costanza’s Jobs Boom – A new study shows that Mr. Obama needs a ‘Seinfeld’ epiphany In a 1994 “Seinfeld” episode, George realizes that “every decision that I have ever made in my entire life has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be.” Jerry replies: “If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.” So Costanza approaches a gorgeous woman in the coffee shop and announces, “My name is George. I’m unemployed and I live with...

Judicial Watch: Feds Paid Group $76,000 Per Illegal Alien Child During Summer Surge
by Tammy on December 3, 2014We saw this happening at the time. The Obama Economic Clusterfark continues… Via Daily Caller. The Obama administration paid a Texas-based group more than $182 million to provide shelter services for illegal immigrant children at two military facilities for four months this summer. The Department of Health and Human Services paid the group, BCFS, nearly $76,000 per child to provide shelter at two 1,200-bed facilities maintained at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio and Fort Sill Army Base in Oklahoma, according to the government watchdog group Judicial Watch, which received documents laying out the expenses through a Freedom of Information Act request. An estimated 90,000 UACs entered the U.S. this year, mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Federal...

Another “Green Energy” Boondoggle Goes Broke
by Tammy on November 30, 2014**Bumped up from TAMWire. Posted by Maynard** Converting wood chips into ethanol sounds great, but they keep building expensive plants (with taxpayer support) that do not work and end up shuttered. The mastermind in this case is a billionaire and big Democrat bundler. See also Range Fuels. Billionaire Vinod Khosla’s big dreams for biofuels fail to catch fire Just over a year ago, billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla was bubbling with optimism about one of his latest investments: KiOR, a biofuel outfit he said would turn wood chips into hydrocarbons that could be poured straight into a refinery, pipeline or vehicle… Now, however, the spell has been broken. On Nov. 10, KiOR filed for bankruptcy, leaving behind 2,067 creditors, including...
