Who Needs To Be Educated

About global warming, er, climate change, um – snowballs in he…….. oh, nuts.

Seems that John Holdren, cough – top science adviser to BO, thinks we don’t know anything about science. Particulalrly the life cycle of our own planetary system.

Gee, John, maybe you’ve been schooled a bit longer than some (I only have a Master’s in Engineering Sciences, does that count?) but that doesn’t mean you have all the answers.

Oh, by the way, how are you going to plug the earth’s volcanos, hhmm? And stop the methane from bubbling up from the Atlantic? Refreeze those (floating) icecaps and icebergs? (You know that ice, when it melts, takes up far less volume, right?)

Don’t treat us like fools. We’re on to the game. As for “green” energy sources, we are nowhere near break-even.

Air Forced

It seems that DHS/TSA no longer is ambivalent about private security for airports.

Yup. It’s all about controlling the folks. Er, it’s all about control, folks.

But on Friday, the TSA denied an application by Springfield-Branson Airport in Missouri to privatize its checkpoint workforce, and in a statement, Pistole indicated other applications likewise will be denied.

“I examined the contractor screening program and decided not to expand the program beyond the current 16 airports as I do not see any clear or substantial advantage to do so at this time,” Pistole said.

Yeah. He’s a pistol, all right. High caliber? Nah, not so much.

No Longer Ours

Deepwater rigs moved out of the Gulf of Mexico

(Adds Pride rig moving to Mediterranean)
Jan 27 (Reuters) – Some of the 30-plus deepwater rigs that were in the Gulf of Mexico have moved to other markets, first because of a U.S. halt called last May after BP Plc’s well blowout, and then because of the lack of permits once the moratorium was lifted.

See the jobs go. See the oil go. See unemployment rise. Is it any wonder costs for everything will rise?

And we remain dependent on others to export oil to us. Even moreso.
Sorry, grandkids, this is no longer the America it used to be.

Thank the President and the 111th Congress for this mess. They are the ones who foisted this on you.
Let no one tell you otherwise, for that will be a lie.

Balloonhead

Chris Matthews. As only Glenn can point out.
Quite a comeback.

At Hot Air.

Where is DHS on THIS?

UPDATE: Soon To Be A Ponzi Scheme

Remember those Obamacare waivers to companies and organizations that cannot afford the Goverment sponsored healthcare plan?

Well, those waivers jumped from 229 to 729. This month.

Now, if this healthcare plan is great and wonderful, why are these waivers growing?????

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin takes another look at this problem. Titled: Waivers for Favors: Obamacare’s Escape Hatch

NEA Disburses Donations

Ahem, does any of our tax money go to the kids education??????

And why, pray tell, is the NEA donating to unions? The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate???
$1,758,000 for political influence? $100,00 to MediaMatters?

That’s just a few. Oh, there’s more. Why is a government agency doling out our tax money for political purposes?

Butcher of Philadelphia

This is the sickest thing I have ever read in my life. An alleged “doctor” butchering, excuse me, murdering – I mean – performing (so-called) abortions. A “supposed” human being did this.

Kermit Gosnell. You …. Well, forget it, I have no words that others haven’t said about you, to you, already.

Michelle Malkin has an excellent writeup on this “person” and everything about him, his actions, his facility, practices and what not. Including the entire Grand Jury Report. One portion I give here (and Ms. Malkin does also):

“It is not our job to say who should be fired or demoted. We believe, however, that anyone responsible for permitting Gosnell to operate as he did should face strong disciplinary action up to and including termination. This includes not only the people who failed to do the inspecting, the prosecuting, and the protecting, but also those at the top who obviously tolerated, or even encouraged, the inaction. The Department of State literally licensed Gosnell’s criminally dangerous behavior. DOH gave its stamp of approval to his facility. These agencies do not deserve the public’s trust. The fate of Karnamaya Mongar and countless babies with severed spinal cords is proof that people at those departments were not doing their jobs. Those charged with protecting the public must do better.”

Go read Michelle’s column on this (How Mass Murder Gets a Pass), and – if you can stomach it – read that Grand Jury Report as well.

I need to take a shower after reading this as well.

May God have mercy on this creature named Gosnell. But I don’t know about that.

I want to know what our two Senators, Cardin and Mikulski, have to say about this.
Or, am I going to hear nothing but the sound of crickets?

UPDATE: Olbermann Out

MSNBC ends contract with Olbermann.

While I never watched him by switching to that channel, I have seen snippets of his rants.

I’m not only surprised that he lasted this long, but also surprised he hasn’t given himself a heart attack.

And the Left calls us nasty. Sheesh. Look in a mirror.
(And, no, I haven’t, and won’t watch the video at the link.)

UPDATE: More, if you’re interested. And that’s it, I really don’t care.

So House Proposes $2.5T Spending Cuts

But have they gone far enough? No.

I notice one thing they have touched on yet, our funds to the IMF. You know, the International Monetary Fund?
And what happened to all the money we sent their way in the not so distant past?

And another thing, how many items make up all of the unfunded liabilities? When is there going to be an accounting, and reductions/eliminations, in that area? Hhhmmm?
