Your One Minute News Digest

• There is frantic breast-beating by politicians and “water experts” about the effects of drought. But sadly there is no hue and cry about water storage loud enough to drown out the radical environmentalists. When will the public rise up?

• Based on recent events, how do you tell is Nancy Pelosi is lying? She opens her mouth.

• There have been $8 billion in loans of taxpayer money for electric cars since 2009. Obama claimed in 2009 that there would be 1 million such cars on the road by 2015 through the use of this money. To date there are around 275K electric cars around the country. That means that Obama is short some 735K cars for his $8B. This is another massive failure rate of another government program. Government trying to get consumers to buy something they don’t want and can’t afford is epidemic. Think Obamacare.

• The leftist media loves to put out material that is misleading at best or totally fallacious. Case in point is a political cartoon showing a dentist telling poor children with rotten teeth that “we don’t serve YOUR kind.” The implication is that dentists don’t treat the poor, which is bogus. What has occurred is that the federal government will not reimburse dentists for their time and expense which makes it financially impossible for them to clog their practice with what ends up as pro-bono patients. If dentists did that they would have to shut down as they couldn’t pay their employees, their utilities, their rent and their supplies. But the left, who basically don’t work, can’t understand that reality.

• The same problem is sown on another political cartoon the leftist are so happy to publish. This one shows a snow-beast representing the Geneva Convention and a gnome supposed to be Dick Cheney saying he would handle terrorists the same way today as was done 10 years ago. Terrorists are not covered by the Geneva Convention. But the left doesn’t let facts get in the way of their false narrative. Unfortunately the illiterate lemmings believe what they’re fed.

• Releasing the “torture report” makes Feinstein an accessory before the fact of whatever assault and/or murder occurs as a direct result of her action. Consider that this “report” was written by her leftist staff, not reviewed by any Republican and her staff did not talk to any of the personnel involved in the “bad behavior” the report touts. In fact, her claims about the head of the project are total lies. So, what else is new?

• Columbia Law School informs its students that they can delay their exams if they are traumatized by the Ferguson and NYC events. The truth is they were out having fun demonstrating instead of studying.

• The Obama minions did a mea culpa recently over the number of signups for Obamacare last year. It seems that 4000,000 of those reported were Dental Insurance enrollees, not medical insurance signups. Is this deliberate lying or just record keeping incompetence?

• The new spending bill gave the military a 1% pay raise. What a crock. For some members it will cost more in deductions and taxes so they will have less take home than if they didn’t get a raise.

• Reports show that $60 million is sent of to low income folks under the Earned Income Tax Credit. Free money at taxpayer expense. Only 14% of all this largesse is fraud. Obama’s immigration executive order will increase this fraud even more.
