I Don’t Buy It

Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans

Since when will this government hold to what it says about our privacy?

Ubiquitous? I don’t think so. More like GPS – it will mark your computer’s location, beyond that of your ISP’s IP address.

Gotcha.

Watch What You Ask For

Jonathan Alter. Newsweek.

“There is zero evidence” of corruption, he insisted. When fellow guest Tim Carney, a Washington Examiner columnist, disagreed, Alter demanded Carney produce evidence. So he did.

Now, forever on the internet.

Secret Ballots for Congressional Committee Votes?

This is not right nor good. This is non-representation at the highest level.

How dare they.

Repeal Obamacare Saves Money

So says the CBO in an updated analysis. $540 Billion over 10 years.

And – wait for it – repealing the bill would also eliminate $770 billion in taxes. It’s the tax hikes in the health care law (along with the Medicare cuts) which accounts for the $230 billion in deficit reduction.

Heh heh. Yeah. Work it, Congress. 236-181.

Letter to DOJ

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Lamar Smith issues first DOJ oversight letterBy Jennifer Rubin

“little oversight” – indeed.

UPDATED: Cover Your Actions Using ATM

I had a prior post about the need to be aware of possible tampering to ATMs.

Here is an excellent article, with video, describing exactly why you need to be very, very careful.

UPDATE: Now, crooks are replacing the ATM keyboard. Meaning, they no longer have to “watch” you enter your PIN. BE ON YOUR GUARD.

Don’t START With Me

Oh, but he did. POTUS decided to tell us we had to deal with nuclear issues with the Russians – and it had to be done now.

Have we been punked? By Russians? Or our own POTUS?

The State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament) plans to confirm the link between the reduction of the strategic offensive arms and the restriction of antimissile defense systems’ deployment in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), signed between the US and Russia, Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the Duma Committee on International Affairs says.

Against It Before Being For It

Pres(id)ent Obama, back when he was but a Senator actually said he was against raising the debt limit (in 2006).

Four short years ago. So what’s changed, POTUS? Just how big a credit card balance owed must we have?

Hypocrisy (my definition) – having, cough, leaders telling us we consume in excess … turn around and spend excessively themselves. Moreso than past administrations have ever done.

Truly desstined for the history books. But, I have news for Congress and tthe POTUS – you are not going to like how the history books read.

Why Not Defund It Then?

House Reps want to vote repeal of Obamacare – Senate Dems threaten the House Reps not to bother.

Hhhmm. I thought the House is supposed to initiate the funding, eh? So why don’t the House Reps force the issue as to why the Senate initiated that during the Lame Duck session and get this in front of SCOTUS pronto?

Or, isn’t that Constitutional enough for you?

The POTUS Is Restless

Which explains a lot and why he cannot seem to focus.
