The most important story of the week: Justin Bieber was arrested, and there’s a possibility that he could be deported back to Canada. If the Obama Administration deported Justin Bieber, I would back off of them for a whole month.
The TSA is bragging about all of the things they found in airport security screenings last year, but the Obama Administration gave the Muslim Brotherhood VIP treatment at airport security. Do you feel safer as a result? The TSA also spent $900 million on behavior detection officers who detected no terrorists.
Moody’s credit ratings agency cut their outlook for health insurance companies due to ObamaCare, while the CEO of Aetna says they may have to pull out of the program because uninsured people aren’t signing up. Instead, 6.3 million people have become eligible for Medicaid.
The left’s new rallying cry is income inequality, even though climbing the income ladder has not gotten harder. They’re also pointing at this study that shows that just 85 people have as much wealth as half the world’s population, which should just serve as motivation for people to embrace capitalism and hard work. Newsweek points out that American education hates gifted kids, which is the whole point.
Mike Suckabee gave a speech to the RNC yesterday in which he accurately described the Democrats’ attitudes towards women, and of course the media rushed to lie about what he said. Regardless, it’s a horrible idea to start talking about women’s libido as a Republican male, and his brand of social conservatism is continuing to save the left from what should be certain doom. Suckabee also compared calling somebody a RINO to Nazism. Dear Mike Suckabee: Please GO AWAY!
A new “study” is trying to claim that the Winter Olympics could be threatened by global warming.
A newspaper company is trying to build a comprehensive database of concealed carry permit holders.
Last year, a record 20% of households were on food stamps, while corporations are hoarding cash during this alleged “economic recovery.”
The Republican National Committee is trying to condense the 2016 primaries. If they did it right, this could be a very good idea…so of course it’ll turn out to be a very bad idea. Also, is Rand Paul the current GOP front-runner?
A government privacy board has declared the NSA phone spying to be illegal. It’s time to end this horrible intrusion into our privacy, and the RNC called for an end to it.
Why are teachers’ unions so dangerous? They protect employees who do things like send porn to other teachers. It’s always about their dues-paying members, never about the students.
Two-thirds of Americans say that the federal government is too big and too powerful.
Smith and Wesson just told California to self-fornicate due to overbearing regulations.
Do you notice a bit of bias in Politico Magazine’s rankings of the states?
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio agrees with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo that conservatives aren’t welcome there. All you guys up there are welcome to move south, but you damn well better leave your left-wing ideologies up there. Don’t screw up the rest of the country the same way you screwed up New York.
Canada is now more business-friendly than the United States.
The new deal with Iran only delays their possibilities of getting a nuclear bomb by one month, and their President says they’re not destroying any centrifuges. Meanwhile, Iran is moving a group of warships to the Atlantic Ocean.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is paid $29.5 million per year while the NFL operates as a tax exempt organization, but the IRS has been investigating a conservative Hollywood organization for nearly two years.
Former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell was indicted on corruption charges in connection to accepting (and his wife demanding) gifts from a pharmaceutical company CEO. McDonnell even rejected a plea deal that would have spared his wife. What a corrupt scumbag, and his wife is even worse.
A Kansas man who served as a sperm donor for a lesbian couple is being forced to pay child support because the state wasn’t involved in his donation.
A Colorado ballot measure would require education classes in order to get married. This is going absolutely the wrong direction. Who says that the state knows anything about marriage?
Utah is ending homelessness by giving people homes. It’s an interesting idea, but there isn’t much information here on the long-term results.
The Obamas and Bidens spent nearly $300,000 in tax dollars for a single vacation weekend. But remember, they’re just like you.
Some soft drinks may contain a cancer-causing chemical in their coloring. Pepsi has more than Coke, proving once again that Coke is better.
The EPA is going to mine Twitter for tweets on diarrhea, vomiting, and the flu.
The United Nations is going to take up the discussion on the name of the Washington Redskins. Great, another excuse for the leftist UN to call Americans racist for something. Hail to the Redskins!
The US Army is considering replacing troops with robots. Have they never seen science fiction movies? Of course, it may not just be soldiers; lots of other jobs can be replaced by robots.
Virginia is trying to expand use of the electric chair in the death penalty. I say we just go back to the firing squad.
There is a “controversial” new reality TV show in the UK featuring welfare recipients. I’m fine with that; let’s bring it here and let people see what their tax dollars are funding.
A Florida man is asking a judge to allow him to show videotapes of sex acts with his wife to prove that their marriage is legitimate.
Apparently life is pretty good at Texas Christian University, because the top priority for students is higher quality toilet paper.
The Captain and Tennille are getting divorced, and it may be due to ObamaCare.
This Week’s Sign of the Decline of Western Civilization: The NFL is prepared to change the time or day of the Super Bowl due to the possibility of cold weather or snow. Wimps.
