Here’s the link for the brand new podcast with some new production work—it sounds SLICK! As always, follow me on Twitter at @jeffscottshow and find me on Facebook at Jeff Scott Show.
While Obama used the State of the Union Address as a way to make the case for more big government “investments,” and exaggerating his successes, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul both used their speeches to make the case for free market capitalism and fiscal sanity. They were two excellent speeches by two serious 2016 GOP contenders. I’d love to see them on a ticket together. Meanwhile, CNN is focused not on Rubio’s content, but on his drink of water.
Obama’s success? Now the number of Americans on food stamps is greater than the population of Spain.
John McCain is open to the idea of raising taxes to avert the sequestration, but fortunately Mitch McConnell is not.
Here’s that insane column I mentioned about redefining losing government handouts as a tax hike.
In happier news, Kate Upton is the cover girl of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit for the second straight year, even though she got frostbite while trying to get the shot.
Obama claims he is pivoting to jobs, even though he’s already done that 6 times. He’s a failure.
Why do conservatives hate the left-wing navel-gazing media? Because they see a crazed left-wing lunatic gunman pinned down in a cabin and they worry about how it will affect the Lightbringer’s moment in the spotlight.
Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions has the right idea—take the fight to the Democrats and don’t let them continue to slander conservatives and their ideas! Cojones are exactly what Republicans need, and what they clearly have not had to this point. Meanwhile, Obama’s failures are obvious, especially of ObamaCare, with the state of Virginia cutting its part time workers to below 30 hours per week and the state of California not having enough doctors to keep up with demand. Of course, the question may be how many doctors have fled California for Nevada, Texas, or Florida.
This week’s Sign of the Downfall of Western Civilization: Maker’s Mark is cutting the proof of their bourbon to make the supply stretch farther, and bars are now charging extra for ordering a drink neat. What is wrong with this world?
The Democrats have one thing that the Republicans don’t: They are very consistent with their messaging that all of your money belongs to the government. In the last week, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, and Sen. Tom Harkin have all said so.
The federal government spent $2,200,000,000 on ObamaPhones last year, nearly triple what it spent in 2008.
Do yourself a favor and read this article about the man who actually killed Osama bin Laden (Hint: It wasn’t Barack Obama). While the parts about him not being able to get health insurance are untrue, it is an incredible story. One thing that our veterans do deserve is better access to the benefits that they earned, and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs is a hopeless bureaucracy like all government agencies. Just because a government program or bureau is noble and legitimate doesn’t mean that it will be run well.
Yes, a CNN anchor really was dumb enough to ask if the close-call asteroid was caused by global warming. Of course, she may have just been confused, since global warming seems to cause everything else, including both more and less snow. Meanwhile, one of the answers to the global warming hoax, renewable energy, is causing energy costs to skyrocket for Germans.
Washington, DC ranks first in the country for extramarital affairs. They can’t be trusted to keep their marriage vows; why do we trust them with our money?
Speaking of our money, the Federal Reserve holds $1,728,477,000,000 of federal debt. That’s just money that’s been printed.
This week’s Schadenfreude of the Week comes to us from New York Times reporter John M. Broder, who got stranded on the side of the road after his Tesla electric car died in the freezing cold last weekend.
Some things that didn’t make it into the show this week:
Just 6 in 10 Americans aged 18-29 have jobs. That’s terrifying, and it’s only going to hurt those young people later.
The USDA is trying to scare people about the sequester by threatening to shut down the meat industry. This is pure BS, but don’t stand in the way of a bureaucrat looking for more of your money. Meanwhile, the cuts to the Postal Service are RACIST according to idiot Rep. Elijah Cummings.
Your dog really does understand you.
The International Olympic Committee has dropped wrestling from the 2020 Olympics. Why the hell are equestrian, ping pong, synchronized swimming, gymnastics, diving, trampoline, and field hockey good enough to be Olympic sports at all, much less more deserving than wrestling? That was a close runner-up for this week’s Sign of the Downfall of Western Civilization.
