Don't Tread On Me in 2012

Gay Couples Gain Medicaid Protections

They have Obama to thank for that. And Kathleen Sebelius, and Cindy Mann.

The Obama administration is set on Friday to issue policy guidance to states expanding their ability to offer same-sex couples the same protections afforded to straight couples when they receive long-term care under Medicaid, the Washington Blade has learned exclusively.

Under the new guidance, dated June 10, states have the option to allow healthy partners in a same-sex relationship to keep their homes while their partners are receiving support for long-term care under Medicaid, such as care in a nursing home.

Voting Integrity

Looks like the majority believe in using proper identification so that American Citizens are the only ones allowed to vote for – American politicians.

Sounds proper to me.

Bankrupting America the Video

And the POTUS’ Chief Economist quit.

Trouble In River City

It seems that the POTUS doesn’t like the fact that Indiana passed legislation to cut off funds to Planned ParentHOOD.

So what does he do?

Well, I think Don Surber said it best, “What kind of man withholds health treatment for a million people just to keep money flowing to his buddies in an abortion mill?”

Homeowner Forecloses On Bank

Heh. That is accurate.

Ever hear of a bank trying to foreclose on a homeowner that didn’t have a mortgage with them?

Well now you have. Taken to court, losing, refusing to pay costs to homeowner. Sweet Justice indeed.

Financial Future For Who?

Us? China?

There is way too much in the way of articles, essays, opinions to opine about here.

Instead, here are a few links to whet your whistle, or increase your angst:

China has dropped 97 percent of its holdings in U.S. Treasury bills, decreasing its ownership of the short-term U.S. government securities from a peak of $210.4 billion in May 2009 to $5.69 billion in March 2011, the most recent month reported by the U.S. Treasury. . . .”

29 Months into the most Left Wing U.S. Presidency and we are heading into an economic disaster.

More bad economic news.

I have one question:

How can one man, such as our President, solve this crisis when it is Congress that has helped him more than triple our indebtedness (and waants to spend even more) and our primary lender is separating itself from our poor financial dealings?

FB No Like TP

Censorship, sounds like. Doesn’t matter how incremental it is accomplished.

If FaceBook chooses to implement policies that eventually restrict politics from their (his) site, then when does it stop being a social platform?

And isn’t the Tea Party exactly a social body? Yes? Bueller?

Retirement Plans

At risk? At colleges and private plans?

Not good. Not. Good. At. All.

UPDATEx8: Epic Failure

I was hoping I would outlast the Weiner-gate monotony. Guess not.

After reading this Hot Air article and watching the last CNN video (over 9 minutes of distraction), I can’t hold back anymore.

If the elected representative was honest about having his internet Twitter account hacked by someone else, there would be no reason to NOT have proper authorities investigate, find and prosecute the criminal. At the end of that last video, it was said there is still no notification, from him or his office, to authorities to investigate the Government’s internet security breach of a national elected official of Congress.

This elected representative, as he points out this topic is now into its third day, cannot and will not answer simple questions that would settle this.

If he were my representative, I could not in good faith vote for him.

I cannot trust him. How many others trust him to do right?

It’s up to his constituents, looks like.

CNN? You are wasting your time with him.

UPDATE: It appears someone has experimental evidence that gets Weiner off the hook. I’ll let you figure that out as you wish. But I still have some misgivings considering everything so far. We shall see.

UPDATEx2: Yeah, Publius voices the same concerns I have.

UPDATEx3: This just gets better and better. Apparently, Jim Hoft at GatewayPundit also says more of the same AND that Cannonfire is wrong.

UPDATEx4: Uh oh. He’s in real trouble now.

UPDATEx5: Apparently, Weiner’s office called the Capitol Police on a reporter who was never asked to leave the office yet was not in the office when the reporter was approached by the police.

Glad he’s not my Congressman.

UPDATEx6: With a head of DNC like this, I would think Weiner would tell her he doesn’t need her help. Ditz.

UPDATEx7: Oh, how about a little trip by way of the time machine to see what little Debbie had to say back in 2006. And there’s a bit more history on Weiner.

UPDATEx8: Today (6/6/11) Weiner held a press conference between 4 and 5pm declaring his apology and admitting lying to everyone. Yet, unwilling to resign his office. An office his constituents put him in because of their unwavering trust in him.

How’s his trustworthiness now? How about his morality, his ethics? Still think he deserves to keep that job?

I do not.
