Marco Rubio, call your office.
The immigration reform measure the Senate began debating yesterday would
create a national biometric database of virtually every adult in the
U.S., in what privacy groups fear could be the first step to a
ubiquitous national identification system.
Buried in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation
(.pdf) is language mandating the creation of the innocuously-named
“photo tool,” a massive federal database administered by the Department
of Homeland Security and containing names, ages, Social Security numbers and photographs of everyone in the country with a driver’s license or other state-issued photo ID. --AOSHQ quoting Wired
The AOS comment is worth repeating:
It's not like it's a tattoo or anything.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Or we'll have the IRS audit your ass.

The End Justifies the Means: Bill Ayers, Terrorist
Let's start here:
...Certainly the liberal news media haven’t publicized the fact that the man who launched Barack Obama’s political career in his living room was the leader of an organization that attempted the mass murder of American soldiers at a dance....
Umnnhh, come to think of it, no they didn't!
When questioned whether his terrorist bomb-throwing was akin to the Boston terrorist bomb-throwing, Ayers drooled and farted something about the 'awfulness' of the Vietnam war--so 'there was no comparison.'
In other words, to Obama's most significant early supporter, the end justifies the means.
Got it. Thanks, Bill.

Gun Violence Drops Precipitously
Hmmmm.
Over the last twenty years, gun homicide rates have fallen by 49%, and nonfatal firearm crime has fallen even more greatly....
Further,
...The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades. ...
It would be even more interesting to find a study which demonstrates the co-incidence between "gun violence" and "drug gangs". The way I hear it from the thin-blue-line people I know, that is the vast majority of the problem.

Why NOT "Tax Fairness"?
It's a mid-length essay, but it's clear.
Amazon and WallyWorld are happy to screw small competitors...with the Gummint's guns on their side.
That's called "Crony Capitalism." And it sucks no matter who is playing the card.

Blaming HRC for Benghazi (?)
I think this is the right take.
When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism.
Note the bold text.
Things change, although nap-time Obozo is hardly cleared of malfeasance.
It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points. The White House, probably for the political reason cited above, took its side.
Why did State want the talking points changed? Because it had ignored warnings about rising terrorist activity in Libya and had reduced security rather than beefing it up, as our embassy requested.
The Madistan gang thinks that this is all about killing off the Hildebeeste's election chances.
Not really; it's about who failed to do what to protect a US ambassador.
Big difference.
As far as nap-time Obozo goes:
...Her culpability during the attacks is doubtful in my opinion, but I would still like to know what she was doing during those tragic hours....
The emerging facts make it clear that Mr. Pantywaist needed his beauty rest and did not (or refused to) allow SF troops from Tripoli to get to Benghazi.
So. Hillary and Obozo lied. US people died.

Woopsie! ObozoCare to Whack Head Start!
Well, BotoxNancy is finding out what's in the legislation, alright. Taxpayers, bend over....
Head Start teachers and administrators told The Daily Caller that their most pressing concern is not budget impacts from sequestration but changes coming from President Barack Obama’s health-care law.
In 2014, the impact of 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act “is probably going to be a 9 percent [cost] increase, and significantly more the next year,” said Nancy Nordyk, director of the Head Start program in southern Oregon.
Rising healthcare costs will likely force Oregon to reduce some Head Start workers’ hours so they’re not eligible for the medical program, said Nordyk, who spoke to TheDC during a national Head Start conference held just outside D.C. in Maryland....
Head Start has been proven, time and again, to be a useless zit anyway, but it will be fun to watch this go up in flames.

The Shill Speaks!!
Sean Hackbarth, now a paid persona at the Chamber of Commerce, argues that cheap labor (whether IT labor or farm-hands) is a growth thing, ya' know.
What did you expect?
Let's not bother with the farm-hand question here.
Over the years, I've noted the work of Norm Matloff of UC-Davis. There's a reason: Norm has proved, with far more evidence than necessary, that the IT slave-labor gambit is just that. These are not "best and brightest"; they are pedestrian IT worker-bees, who are imported strictly to make IT payroll cheaper.
And they displace proficient and savvy US citizens who pay taxes and spend money.
Somehow, Hackbarth manages to evade that point entirely.
That's what shill-ery is all about, folks.

Obozo Lied, US Citizens Died
Well, there's some new testimony about Hermaphrodite-in-Chief.
...a team of Special Forces prepared to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks was forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command Africa.The account from Gregory Hicks is in stark contrast to assertions from the Obama administration, which insisted that nobody was ever told to stand down and that all available resources were utilized.
There's only one person who could have made that call.
Maybe he was asleep, in preparation for his fund-raiser the next day?
Or maybe he just doesn't give a shit about American lives.

More--MUCH More--on the BLS Jobs Report
Hmmmm. The teetering is showing.
While most pundits have focused on the BLS Establishment Survey, which reported that 165,000 payroll jobs had been created during April, the Household Survey* numbers told a much different story.
Total employment rose by 293,000 during April, but part-time jobs increased by 441,000. As a result, full-time jobs declined by 148,000.
The number of "full-time-equivalent" (FTE) jobs** only increased by 73,000. This was not enough to keep pace with the growth of our working-age population, so the "FTE jobs ratio" (the number of FTE jobs per 100 working-age Americans), fell.
The essay blames it on ObozoCare, which is likely. It's also possible that there is a lack of sustainable demand, of course. But if the Feds have been spending umpty-zillion in "stimulus" dollars, Keynes says there WILL be increased demand. So where is it?
More:
During April, the FTE jobs ratio fell for the fifth month in a row, to 53.09. The earliest warning signal for every recession since 1955 (the first year for which the data is available) has been a significant, sustained decline in this ratio.
As of April, the fall in the FTE jobs ratio from its local peak was only 0.11. This is not yet a strong indicator of an impending recession.
...This having been said, there also has never been a case where the FTE jobs ratio fell for five months in a row and a recession did not follow. So the recent decline is definitely something to be concerned about.
Based upon the historical record, if the current decline in the FTE jobs ratio were to continue, and to reach a cumulative 0.60, renewed recession would become a virtual certainty.
A reasonably-reliable predictor, ECRI, has wavered up and down for several months, with strong growth only emerging in the last couple of weekly reports. (This predictor is for 6 months out ++).
The Democrat Senate majority lives in interesting times. Heh.

"Background Checks"? Really?
In the good ol' days, when Uncle Joe and his descendant-in-crime Nikki Khrushchev ruled the Fatherland, there were lots and lots and lots and lots of 'psychiatric cases' sent off to the Gulag in Siberia.
Ask Solzhenitsyn.
Well. By co-incidence, there's another "psychiatric cases" gambit in play. And Guess Who is playing the card?
Secretary Kathleen "ObamaCare" Sebelius - and her Department of Health and Human Services - has promulgated regulations which would, by executive fiat, waive all federal privacy laws and encourage you doctor to report you to the FBI.
Understand a couple of things: First, the standard which your doctor would use to turn you in is embodied in Clinton-era ATF language and in the anti-gun Veterans Disarmament Act of 2007. Specifically, you doctor would "drop a dime" on you if he suspected you were even a slight "danger to yourself of others" or were "unable to manage your financial affairs."
My twiddlefanny Lefty readers will be horrified--HORRIFIED--that the comparison was made. But 'scuse me: it's too obvious to ignore.

Narcissism, Projection, and Geopolitics
McCain makes an interesting point here.
...it does highlight the nature of the larger problem, what Jeanne Kirkpatrick rightly called the “Blame America First” mentality.
There is a sort of perverse narcissism involved in this worldview: Encountering people who hate us, liberals think, “It’s about us.”
This error was what crippled liberalism during the Cold War. If the Soviet Union wanted to destroy America, liberals imagined, this must be because of something wrong with America, rather than something wrong with the Soviet Union. So liberals wanted to change American foreign policy — détente! — in a more pro-Soviet direction, accepting the Leninist critique of “Western imperialism” as essentially accurate, so that you had Jimmy Carter claiming (and evidently believing) that a U.S. commitment to “human rights” would somehow repair the damage to American international prestige.
Except it wasn’t about us. It was about them....
It's another case of projection writ large. Lefties understand their offenses, which is good. However, they tend to project those offenses to the larger (US) population as a whole--which is a logical fallacy.

The Old Keynes Controversy Rises Again
Evidently Niall Ferguson committed felony definition.
Gertrude Himmelfarb was right about that.
....something of the “soul” of Bloomsbury penetrated even into Keynes’s economic theories. There is a discernible affinity between the Bloomsbury ethos, which put a premium on immediate and present satisfactions, and Keynesian economics, which is based entirely on the short run and precludes any long-term judgments. (Keynes’s famous remark. “In the long run we are all dead,” also has an obvious connection with his homosexuality — what Schumpeter delicately referred to as his “childless vision.”) The same ethos is reflected in the Keynesian doctrine that consumption rather than saving is the source of economic growth — indeed, that thrift is economically and socially harmful. In The Economic Consequences of the Peace, written long before The General Theory, Keynes ridiculed the “virtue” of saving. The capitalists, he said, deluded the working classes into thinking that their interests were best served by saving rather than consuming. This delusion was part of the age-old Puritan fallacy....
It's not difficult to argue that the Consumption Ethos flogged by the advertising industry has its basis in Keynesian theory, although I'd prefer to finger Rousseau as the immediate culprit.

Eddie Flynn's "Paper Crimes"
We all know that Eddie Flynn is a political animal with aspirations higher than Milwaukee. So when he refers to "paper crimes" like felons-in-possession of guns, he's covering somebody's ass. (His own, and that of the local US Attorney, for you ignorant Lefties.)
Let's look at the "paper crimes" and their sentence guidelines, shall we?
• 10 years—18 U.S.C. § 922(g)—for possession of a firearm or ammunition by a felon, fugitive, or drug user… And possession means touching a gun, any gun, handgun, rifle or shotgun. Any firearm that Dianne Feinstein would ban for us, is already an illegal gun for violent criminals.
• 10 years—18 U.S.C. § 922(j)—for possession of a stolen firearm.
• 10 years—18 U.S.C. § 922(i)—for shipment or transport of a stolen firearm across state lines.
• 10 years—18 U.S.C. § 924(b)—for shipping, transporting or receipt of a firearm across state lines with intent to commit a felony.
• 5 to 30 years consecutive mandatory minimum sentences—18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(1)(A)—for carrying, using, or possessing a firearm in connection with a federal crime of violence or drug trafficking.
• The death penalty or up to life imprisonment—18 U.S.C. § 924(j)—for committing murder while possessing a firearm in connection with a crime of violence or drug trafficking.
• 15 years mandatory minimum—18 U.S.C. § 924(e)—for a “prohibited person” who has three prior convictions for drug offenses or violent felonies.
• 10 years—18 U.S.C. § 924(g)—for interstate travel to acquire or transfer a firearm to commit crimes.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

pResident Obozo, Lying Again
We're all waiting for some proof of this:
President Obama used a speech at Mexico’s Museo Nacional de Antropología – the National Anthropology Museum – to claim that ‘most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States.’
Aside from Obozo's very own "Fast and Furious," which guns, exactly?
See, AK's are not US 'exports.'
It's possible that he's referring to US-made M16A1's or -2's which were stolen from the Mexican military (or "liberated" from there), I suppose.

The Food Stamp Recovery of Obozo
If getting food stamps is "economic recovery", we're nearing fiscal Nirvana.
Since Obama took office, the number of Americans considered to be eligible to participate in the workforce has increased by 10.4 million people.
But, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the workforce only increased by 1 million workers since President Obama took office.
No wonder he spends so much time campaigning.

There Are Men, and There Are .....Not-Men
Erickson doesn't phrase it quite that way, but it fits.
...Cruz had gone back to Texas and told some activists at a Freedomworks conference that Mike, Rand and Ted were constantly being yelled at by fellow Republicans. It’s a true statement verified by other Senators. These Republican conference meetings leak all the time. Reporters hover outside the door waiting to talk to these Senators. But Ted dared tell just how scared some of his colleagues are that they are being exposed as not quite the conservatives they campaigned as being....
IIRC, Cruz told the Not-Men club that if they actually had principles, they wouldn't have to shimmy around yapping and whining about "strategy."
Cruz could have substituted "cojones" for "principles". In fact, the SHOULD have. The Not-Men club had to use S.E.Cupp and Jennifer Rubin as their....ahhh....warriors. That fits, too.
And the Not-Men rule the House, too:
...John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy won’t even pretend to fight. Boehner basically plays a game of chicken by stepping aside and saying “you win.” And, he has publicly said he won’t shut the government down. The House “leadership” is running scared from the debt ceiling… and was dead set against Obamacare de-funding. Today, the House “leadership” is telling folks on the Hill it won’t fight the Farm bill. And on immigration – forget it… everyone is running around listening to consultants saying this is the way to win Hispanic votes...
(He could have mentioned Paul Ryan, who is now marching to the Left as he performs his Presidential-Wannabee-Panderdance).

The "Press"? It Is To Laugh
Not to mention Gosnell, let's look instead at secondary items like....say......National Security!
The US "press" [insert laugh track here] has managed to avoid tough questions about Benghazi, and only one outlet has reported that returned-and-hospitalized Benghazi victims are being threatened by the Obozoites if they talk about what actually happened there.
Then there's this:
Saudi Arabia warned the United States IN WRITING about Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2012, and rejected his application for an entry visa to visit Mecca in 2011...AOSHQ quoting LONDON Daily Mail
Oh, yes, there's more to that story, which was broken by foreigners. Not the US "press" [insert laugh track here.]
One wonders if the US "press" would object were Obozo to issue an E.O. obviating the "press" portion of the 1st Amendment.

Ryan's Presidential Pander Begins
It's now obvious that Paul Ryan thinks he should be President.
GOP Rep. Paul Ryan reportedly has changed his views and now says he believes gay couples should be able to adopt children. Asked at a town-hall-style meeting Monday in Wisconsin about the issue, Ryan said he would “vote differently these days” and still opposes gay marriage...
Uh-huh. Because, after all, the Natural Law changes when one seeks higher office, eh, Paul?
Maybe Ryan should take a look at the old Milwaukee County Grounds and the orphanage that it included. Does he, "in these days" think those children were "un-loved"? Did they all fail later in life?
And by the way, Paul: did you clear that with Tim Cardinal Dolan?
