WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s proposed budget will call for reductions in the growth of Social Security and other benefit programs while still insisting on more taxes from the wealthy in a renewed attempt to strike a broad deficit-cutting deal with Republicans.

The proposal aims for a compromise on the Fiscal 2014 budget by combining the president’s demand for higher taxes with GOP insistence on reductions in entitlement programs. But the plan was already encountering negative reviews from top Republicans for insisting on revenue and from liberals for its effect on the social safety net.   Continue reading “Obama seeks deal, proposes cuts to Social Security”

What seemed like good news in Friday’s jobs report was a little less than that — the unemployment rate fell, but not because more people found work.

Instead, the rate was lower because the Labor Department estimated that there are nearly half a million fewer people in the labor force — the group that includes people with a job or looking for one.   Continue reading “Unemployment rate falls for all the wrong reasons”

Thousands of Medicare cancer patients are being denied treatment at clinics nationwide because of federal budget cuts related to the so-called sequester, according to a published report.

The mandated cuts took effect April 1, and cancer clinic administrators say they can no longer afford to provide expensive chemotherapy drugs to many Medicare patients, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people 65 and older and certain others with disabilities.   Continue reading “Cancer Patients Denied Treatment Due to Sequester”

White House mouthpiece Jay Carney says that the Obama administration will “conduct a thorough review” of the UN’s newly enacted gun control pact “to determine whether to sign the treaty.” The suspense is hardly unbearable, given that the UN treaty would codify the proposition that national governments should have a monopoly on weapons.

The announced objective of the treaty is to regulate the sale and transfer of small arms and light weapons, a category that includes all civilian-owned firearms. According to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, the treaty “will help to keep warlords, pirates, terrorists, criminals and their like from acquiring deadly arms.”   Continue reading ““State Control”: What the UN Firearms Treaty is All About”

ALBANY, N.Y. –  Gun enthusiasts fearful of new weapon controls and alarmed by rumors of government hoarding are buying bullets practically by the bushel, making it hard for stores nationwide to keep shelves stocked and even putting a pinch on some local law enforcement departments.

At a 24-hour Walmart in suburban Albany, the ammunition cabinet was three-fourths empty this week; sales clerks said customers must arrive before 9 the morning after a delivery to get what they want. A few miles away, Dick’s Sporting Goods puts up a red rope after ammunition deliveries so buyers can line up early to get a number, averting races up the escalator to the gun counter. Both stores are limiting ammunition purchases to three boxes a day.   Continue reading “Ammunition flies off store shelves amid new restrictions, fears”

The new understanding of physics since September 11, 2001, that limited fire damage can cause buildings to implode at almost free fall speed into their own footprints, was confounded once again as a 40-story skyscraper in Chechnya was engulfed with flames for hours yet did not collapse.

The blaze consumed an apartment building in Grozny, the Chechen capital yesterday evening before it was eventually put out in the early hours of Thursday morning. Fires burned on every single floor of the structure apart from the ground floor.   Continue reading “Chechnya Skyscraper Engulfed By Fire, Does Not Collapse”

Fifth Graders Charged With Murder Conspiracy Are 'Danger to Others' (ABC News)Yahoo News – by CHRISTINA NG | ABC News

A Washington prosecutor who is charging two boys aged 10 and 11 with conspiracy to commit murder concedes that it is “very rare” to try someone so young, but said the felony charges were necessary because the boys’ crime was premeditated and experts determined they were “a danger to others.”

The fifth graders from Colville, Wash., were arrested in February and Steven County Superior Courtjudge ruled recently that the boys are competent to stand trial on murder conspiracy charges, witness tampering and juvenile possession of a firearm.   Continue reading “Fifth Graders Charged With Murder Conspiracy Are ‘Danger to Others’”

TL In Exile – by T.L. Davis

It is very simple: the resistance will not be organized. There is no way to get people together on anything at this stage and there aren’t many more stages left.

Obama is “constrained” by the Constitution. He considers that wrong, but we know that constraining people like him is the whole purpose of the Constitution. Of course he feels constrained by it, he is supposed to and so is everyone else in a position of immense power. He is constrained by our rights and so has done everything he can to obliterate them.   Continue reading “That Magical Moment”

Leftists in Connecticut and Maryland have pushed through extreme and unconstitutional gun laws in the past 24 hours. The question now becomes whether or not firearms manufacturing companies in those locations will now leave states which will not allow their employees to own the very guns they build for American citizens.

Colt, Marlin, Mossberg, Stag Arms, and Sturm Ruger are major firearms manufacturers in Connecticut.   Continue reading “Maryland, Connecticut pass sweeping gun control laws. Will major gun companies leave now that their products have been made illegal?”

Barack Obama. President. Tyrant.Bob Owens

During a stop on his permanent campaign last night at a private residence in San Francisco, President Barack Obama claimed that the Sandy Hook shooter used a machine gun:

Now, over the next couple of months, we’ve got a couple of issues:  gun control.  (Applause.)  I just came from Denver, where the issue of gun violence is something that has haunted families for way too long, and it is possible for us to create common-sense gun safety measures that respect the traditions of gun ownership in this country and hunters and sportsmen, but also make sure that we don’t have another 20 children in a classroom gunned down by a semiautomatic weapon — by a fully automatic weapon in that case, sadly.   Continue reading “During a San Fran fundraiser, Serial Liar Obama claims Lanza used “fully automatic weapon.””
