Your One Minute News Digest

• House Democrats are howling that their constituents did not know they would be fined if they did not sign up for Obamacare by February 1, 2015. They say these scofflaws should “get a 2nd chance”. Hopefully knowledgeable voters will remember that only Democrats voted to pass the law and not a single Republican voted for it. Remember Pelosi saying “we have to pass the law to find out what is in it”? Remember Obama saying “families will see a $3,500 reduction in health plan premiums”? All lies and now the chickens are coming home to roost for the Democrats.

• After the horrific beheading of Coptic Christians by ISIS, Obama tells his staff not to call the victims Christian and heads for the golf course. Leadership? Honesty? Compassionate?

• Now our “expert” scientists have decided to find ways to cool our planet. Apparently they are not intelligent enough to realize that the planet is not warming and is simply adjusting to cycles of the sun and other natural occurrences. But they remain so full of themselves that they think they can somehow block out the sun and cool things down. If they are allowed to start messing around this way, some countries will want to warm up, while others will want to cool down. Think of the juicy wars that conflict will produce.

• Medi-Cal now has some 12 million clients in California alone. Does the government think it is going to force doctors, nurses, and hospitals to take care of all these suckers on the government-teat? Especially when the government cuts reimbursements at the same time as adding patients? Apparently the mainstream media and the Democrats see no problem with one in three Californians getting “free” medical care.

• And Obama keeps devising policies designed to kill Americans. His recent policy? He has ordered federal agents responsible for protecting one of the nation’s busiest and most crime-infested regions near Mexico to stop apprehending drunk drivers, according to an internal government memo. The upshot is, instead of calling state or local police to deal with the drunk driver, they are told to let them go and continue on their merry way. What happens when that drunk driver then kills some innocent people?

• One of the chants favored by the left against George Bush is “Bush lied; people died.” It can still be heard today as everything bad that ever occurred in this century was Bush’s fault. The genesis of the chant was the issue of WMD’s in the run-up to the Iraq War. As the war shut down, the mainstream media made much of saying that no WMDs were found. Unfortunately for the media, their reporting was a lie and it continues today. Before the Iraq War, loads of what probably were WMDs were moved from Iraq to Syria. Still large amounts of WMDs were found in Iraq. The CIA bought 400 Borak rockets filled with pure Sarin gas. US troops found 5,000 WMDs that the Pentagon kept secret until last year. Think about the lies being told regularly by the Obama Administration and consider where the real liars are.

• Our State Department has the solution to terrorism. Give them jobs. Can you see black clothed, masked men flipping burgers? Just think how they will no longer slit throats, burn people alive and do all manner of evils for a fast food paycheck. Maybe they just need some programs to stimulate their economy such as “Cash for Camels.”

• The Boston Marathon bombing trial has lawyers paid by the taxpayers doing flips trying to move the trial from Bean City. All this is dragging things out and running up the tab. Plead Tsarnaev guilty and get on with it.

• Scientists are spending quality time trying to figure out how the Martian atmosphere works. The journal Nature says that what they see “defies scientists’ expectations”. Yet they can figure out how earth’s atmosphere will work a thousand years from now.

• It is reported that some low lying areas in India are being inundated by “rising seas”. Of course, this is all blamed on “global warming”. Since no other areas of the world are affected and water seeks its own level, perhaps it is sinking land rather than rising seas in this infinitesimally small piece of the earth. And since most honest reports have the ice sheets advancing, it is doubtful the seas are rising.
