Who's Really Getting Paid After DOJ's $13B Settlement With JPMorgan?

Megyn Kelly discussed the new revelations with Judge Andrew Napolitano, who called it a "perversion of justice for the federal government to extort billions of dollars from the second-largest bank in the United States and give it away to the president's political friends and favorite political causes."

Missed The Kelly File last night?  Watch “Who’s Really Getting Paid . . . “ now.

Hmmmm.  This seems to ring a bell.  Oh yes!  ACORN!  One of Obama’s early endeavors. If you really want to know how the sub-prime mortgage scandal went down and who the “players” were in that debacle, I recommend that you read

Soooo . . . , explain to me again why big government is better!

Who's Sorry Now?

Obama apologized today that some Americans lost health care insurance but not for misleading [LYING]. 

While you think about what he said today, you may want to listen to this song to him.



Hmmm.  Was Connie prescient?  Many Americans were.  Unfortunately not enough.

Americans WAKEUP!!!

Read: “First, They Came For The Cypriots...”

“Rule Of Law: Markets tumbled after Cyprus and the EU said they might tax private bank accounts to pay for a bailout. Arbitrary property grabs are a new low and a bad precedent in this crisis. Worse still, it can happen here.”

“Already Congressional Democrats are plotting the expropriation of Americans' private 401(k) and IRA retirement savings accounts in favor of "a guaranteed income."  [View the details of a 2010 Congressional testimony] If bank accounts can be casually expropriated in Cyprus to pay for big-spending governments and bailouts, there is no reason a nice slice of the $19 trillion in retirement accounts can't get the same treatment.”

Think not?  Think again!  Read: Obama Begins Push for New National Retirement System

Please realize that this is 100% about funding $1.5 TRILLION annual deficits using Americans’ retirement funds, as there is simply no other remaining pool of wealth able to soak up $1.5 Trillion in T-bills annually.

Then they came for the Americans!

Are You Pro or Con on “Term Limits” For Elected Government Representatives?

I encourage you to read:  SOWELL: A REAL TERM LIMIT

Here’s my opinion.

Concern over "loss of experience" is a non sequitur

Those against imposing term limits claim such a policy would result in a "loss of experience" provided by career politicians. Professor, economist, social theorist, political philosopher, and author Thomas Sowell says, "...Much - if not most - of that experience and expertise [by career politicians] is in the arts of evasion, effrontery, deceit and chicanery. None of that serves the interests of the people." I agree.

He further says, "If we want terms limits to achieve their goals, we have to make the limit one term, with a long interval prescribed before the same person can hold any other government office again." Failure to do so would only result in the career politicians spending more of their term campaigning for some other government office versus campaigning for re-election or supporting "special interest" legislation while in office with a view to obtaining a job within that "special interest" group as a reward for past performance.

Regrettably, there are far too many politicians in office today who entered public service to do good but stayed to do well. It is our nation and our citizens who suffer the consequences.

Middle-Class [Obama] Backers Shocked Obama Raised Their Taxes

Dyed-blue-in-the-wool supporters of President Obama are blue as can be after opening their paychecks and discovering that "ordinary folks," as the president likes to call them, got slapped with a sizeable tax hike on New Year's Day.

"What happened?" was the exclamation found repeatedly by the Washington Times' Joseph Curl as he surveyed commentaries posted on liberal websites.

"What happened that my Social Security withholding in my paycheck just went up?" a DemocraticUnderground.com post asked. "I guarantee this decrease is gonna hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?"

Five Big Challenges In 2013 That Dwarf The Fiscal Cliff

Discussion of the so-called fiscal cliff has sucked so much air out of the room that many people don't realize it's not the biggest thing we face as a nation. Indeed, many challenges loom. Will we be up to them?

Will Obama and our elected representatives be up to it?       Don’t bet on it!

As a nation, not only are we over the “fiscal cliff” and “national debt cliff”, we’re over the “moral cliff” too.  If the recent elections proved anything, it is that the candidates and our voting citizens are collectively driven by one guiding light . . . What’s in it for them.  The idea of doing what’s best for the nation as a whole is long gone.  The unions and their membership vote for those who will advance the union objectives of more money and guaranteed jobs for “theirs”.  Our elected representatives vote for more votes, more money, more perks and more job security for themselves.  Our voting citizens’ vote for those candidates they believe will get them more entitlements, lower taxes and more favorable legislation on any subject they perceive as in their self-interest.  Those who did not vote disavow their moral obligation to elect representatives who will do what’s best for this country, not just for the near future but over the long haul and regardless of what “the opposition” does and says about it.

It’s about collective survival as a nation folks, not about just you or just about me!  We are all in the same boat together and we will all float or sink together in the end.  If we delay appropriate course corrections much longer, the rush for the “lifeboats” will get ugly at a very personal level.
