Meet the Billionaire Obama and Reid Listen To

You’ve got to hand it to billionaire Tom Steyer. He tells Barack Obama and Harry Reid to jump, and they obediently reply: How high?
Mr. Steyer pulled off the policy coup of the year last week when the White House announced it would place the Keystone XL pipeline in regulatory purgatory for another six months at least. Mr. Steyer has promised $100 million to Democrats to beat back Republicans in the midterm elections this fall, and the campaign funds have already paid off in the scuttling of this $3 billion pipeline project. (Remember when Democrats were pro-infrastructure?) President Obama says we have to determine whether it is “in the national interest.”
Mr. Steyer protested this week that he is not the Democratic party’s version of the Koch brothers, who fund efforts to promote liberty and free enterprise. Mr. Steyer says that “there are real distinctions between the Koch brothers and us,” because the Kochs personally benefit from their political advocacy, while he is donating to save the planet. Never mind that he’s a major investor in solar-energy projects that compete with fossil fuels. Let’s just say that Steyer got more than just a lousy T-shirt for his political pay-to-play investment.
But Steyer, like most fanatical greens, really does have an intense hatred of this pipeline — and thus a motive that goes beyond any personal gain. To the far left, Keystone has become the symbol of the North American shale-oil-and-gas revolution that is crushing the brief and ill-fated renewable-energy fad. So anything that would efficiently transport these fossil fuels to market is evil.
For his part, Obama repeated the Big Green mantra that we shouldn’t build the pipeline if it would contribute to “carbon pollution.” By this logic, the U.S. government should shut down the existing 100,000 miles of pipeline in North America and stop all domestic fossil-fuel production.
But all of this is a sideshow to the really big question here, which is whether the GOP leaders are smart enough to capitalize on this Keystone blunder. The controversy exposes a widening fault line within the Democratic coalition that could split the party in two. It’s an intra-party blood feud between the blues and the greens: Blue-collar union Democrats (those who work in the private sector) desperately want the jobs associated with drilling, mining, and building the infrastructure to make those things happen. Many of the big

Winston Churchill

'How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
'Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.'

12 Phenomenal Life Lessons from What is Being Called the Greatest Graduation Speech Ever Given

  By Kyle Becker 

Nobel-prize winning economist Thomas J. Sargent gave a remarkably short list of life lessons to young graduates in 2007 almost entirely comprised of economic insights.
This 335-word speech will help them, and others who read it, their whole lives through. Via Business Insider:

I remember how happy I felt when I graduated from Berkeley many years ago. But I thought the graduation speeches were long. I will economize on words.

Economics is organized common sense. Here is a short list of valuable lessons that our beautiful subject teaches.

1. Many things that are desirable are not feasible.

2. Individuals and communities face trade-offs.

3. Other people have more information about their abilities, their efforts, and their preferences than you do.

4. Everyone responds to incentives, including people you want to help. That is why

A San Francisco Billionaire Just Bought Obama and Delayed the Keystone XL Pipeline

While the media is obsessed with the Koch brothers this campaign season, a billionaire hedge fund manager from San Francisco just bought off the White House to the tune of $100 million in order to delay the Keystone XL pipeline decision.
From Fox News:

The Obama administration once again has punted on a final decision for the Keystone XL pipeline, announcing ahead of the holiday weekend it is extending a key review period indefinitely — a move that could push off a determination until after the midterm elections. 

Republicans, as well as red-state Democrats who want the proposed Canada-to-Texas pipeline approved, slammed the administration for the delay. Democrats even threatened to find ways to go around the president to get the project approved. 

“It’s absolutely ridiculous that this well over five year long process is continuing for an undetermined amount of time,” Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., said in a statement.

What you won’t hear about in mainstream media is how Billionaire Tom Seyer drove the decision by promising to spend $100 million to help Democrats in the midterm election who help defeat the project:

Federal spending and debt are out of control

If America does not change course, the future will be dramatically worse. Now more than ever, it is crucial that Americans understand what our nation's spending, taxes, and debt mean for them and their families.

Lerner was in contact with DOJ about prosecuting tax-exempt groups

of the IRS tax-exempt division Lois Lerner communicated with the Justice Department about the possibility of criminally prosecuting certain tax-exempt groups, new documents reveal.

According to the conservative government accountability group Judicial Watch, email exchanges between Lerner and Nikole C. Flax, the Chief of Staff to then-Acting IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller, reveal there were discussions about possible prosecution of tax-exempt groups that were believed to have “lied” about political activities.

I got a call today from Richard Pilger Director Elections Crimes Branch at DOJ … He wanted to know who at IRS the DOJ folks could talk to about [Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon] Whitehouse idea at the hearing that DOJ could piece together false statement cases about applicants who “lied” on their 1024s — saying they weren’t planning on doing political activity, and then turning around and making large visible political expenditures. DOJ is feeling like it needs to respond, but want to talk to the right folks at IRS to see whether there are impediments from our side and what, if any damage this might do to IRS programs.
I told him that sounded like we might need several folks from IRS …

White is not right: Campus admins ask for help weeding out white people

  

Robby Soave

Reporter

Western Washington University sent a questionnaire to students asking them for advice on how the administration could succeed at making sure that in future years, “we are not as white as we are today.”
The question notes that WWU’s racial make up does not perfectly reflect the nation at large, and asks students to consider strategies that other universities have used to focus on skin color as the paramount indicator of a student-applicant’s worth.
The president of WWU has stated that his explicit goal is to reduce the white population on campus, according to Campus Reform.
“I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, that we as a faculty and staff and student body, as an administration, if we 10 years from now are as white as we are today, we will have failed as a university,” said Bruce Shepard, president of WWU, in a 2012 address.
The statements and actions of administrators suggest a preoccupation with skin color at WWU. In his

23 Global Warming & Climate Change Stories All Americans Should Read Before Earth Day

The following are 23 news stories from a variety of sources that everyone should consider before the avalanche of “go green” stories that will be unveiled on Earth Day – in the media and in our kids’ schools.
Whether or not one wants to promote the perfectly fine goal of fostering a better environment and leaving a cleaner planet for one’s children, that should not be carried out on the basis of disinformation, hysteria, or hidden political agendas.

“There is no scientific proof of man-made global warming and a hotter earth would be ‘beneficial for humans and the majority of other species’, according to a founding member of environmental campaign group Greenpeace.

Obama’s Blue-Green Bust

Townhall Magazine | 

In the April issue of Townhall Magazine, Conn Carroll discusses how the engine of the Obama Recovery never made it out of the garage.
“This is the worst economic recovery America has ever had,” Scott Pelley informed “CBS Evening News” viewers on July 17, 2012. And it hasn’t gotten any better since.
Yes, unemployment has fallen from 8.2 percent then to 6.6 percent today. But that fall in unemployment is not due to strong job growth. Job creation under President Obama is still anemic. In fact, the U.S. economy still supports fewer jobs today (137.5 million) than it did at its pre-recession peak (138.4 million).
But if the U.S. economy still has fewer jobs today than it did before Obama was elected president, then how come the unemployment rate is still falling?
Because, for myriad reasons, more and more Americans are dropping out of the workforce entirely. If the same percentage of Americans were looking for work today, that were looking for work in 2008, the unemployment rate today would be a staggering 11.2 percent.
The Obama economy was not supposed to turn out like this. In 2008, even as President Bush’s mortgage-debt based economy crumbled around them, progressive activists were downright giddy about their new unified plan for America’s recovery.
For decades, efforts by the environmentalist wing of the Democratic party to push for stringent regulations on fossil fuel-based industries had been frustrated by the labor wing of the party that was desperate to protect

ΠΕΡΙ ΔΙΑΤΡΟΦΗΣ ΤΩΝ ΑΡΧΑΙΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ

Η αρχέγονη ανάγκη για διατροφή είχε μετατραπεί σε κεντρικό γεγονός με κοινωνικές και άλλες προεκτάσεις στην Αρχαίο Ελλάδα. Το ελαιόλαδο, το λαχανικό, τα φρούτα, τα καρυκεύματα, τα όσπρια και τα δημητριακό, τα κρέατα και βέβαια το ψάρι και το κρασί, όπως σήμερα και τότε αποτελούσαν τα  κυρίαρχα συστατικά της γαστρονομίας.

Το πρωινό

 Το πρωινό, το οποίο ονομαζόταν συνήθως «άριστον», αποτελείτο από ψωμί, («μάζα» από κριθάρι γιο το λαό, «άρτο» από σιτάρι γιο τους πλούσιους) βουτηγμένο σε ανέρωτο κρασί. Συνηθισμένες πρωινές τροφές ήταν επίσης τα ξερά σύκα, τα αμύγδαλα, τα καρύδια και οι άλλοι ξηροί καρποί. Το πρωινό ρόφημα ήταν ο «κυκεών», ένα μείγμα κρασιού, τριμμένου τυριού και κριθάλευρου, το γάλο κυρίως κατσικίσιο, καθώς και ένα είδος υδρομελιού που το παρασκεύαζαν από χλιαρό νερό και μέλι.

Random Thoughts

Thomas Sowell 

Random thoughts on the passing scene:
How long do politicians have to keep on promising heaven and delivering hell before people catch on, and stop getting swept away by rhetoric?
Why should being in a professional sport exempt anyone from prosecution for advocating deliberate violence? Recent revelations of such advocacy of violence by an NFL coach should lead to his banishment for life by the NFL, and criminal prosecution by the authorities. If you are serious about reducing violence, you have to be serious about punishing those who advocate it.
Have you noticed that what modest economic improvements we have seen occurred during the much-lamented "gridlock" in Washington? Nor is this unusual. If you check back through history, doing nothing has a far better track record than that of politicians intervening in the economy.
With all the talk about people paying their "fair share" of income taxes, why do nearly half the people in this country pay no income taxes at all? Is that their "fair share"? Or is creating more recipients of government handouts, at no cost to themselves, simply a strategy to gain more votes?
Some people are puzzled by the fact that so much that is said and done by politicians seems remote from reality. But reality is not what gets politicians elected. Appearances, rhetoric and emotions are what get them elected. Reality is what the voters and taxpayers are left to deal with, as a result of electing them.
Instead of following the tired old formula of having politicians and bureaucrats give college commencement speeches, in which they say how superior it is to follow a career as politicians and bureaucrats -- "public service" -- why not invite someone like John Stossel to tell the graduates how much better it is to go into the private sector, supplying what people want, instead of imposing the government's will on them?
In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce

Australia’s Richest Person and America’s Export-Import Bank

Dan Holler | 

Australian press is buzzing over the strange nexus between the country’s richest person and American taxpayers.  The headline in The Australian Financial Review even invokes the phrase “welfare queen.”

How Australia’s richest person, mining heiress Gina Rinehart, secured a $US694 million ($764 million) loan from American taxpayers is surely one of the great ironies of the capitalist system.

The case is the latest example of a flaw in the United States political economy: what some see as crony capitalism.

Rinehart’s mining group, Hancock Prospecting, last week signed off on a $US7.2 billion debt package for her highly anticipated Roy Hill iron ore project in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.

Why are American taxpayers subsidizing a financial transaction involving an Australian billionaire’s iron ore project?  

The Australian Financial Review explained “Government export credit agencies including the Ex-Im Bank in the US, as well as Japan and Korea, were crucial in helping the massive debt-funding deal over the line” because “Commercial banks and bond investors were reluctant to shoulder all the risk.”

When announcing the deal, U.S. Ex-Im Bank downplayed the risk, instead touting the “$694.4 million loan to Roy Hill Holdings of Australia [was] contingent upon the purchase of U.S. mining and rail equipment from Caterpillar Inc., GE, and Atlas Copco.”

So taxpayers have two plausible, though not mutually exclusive explanations for guaranteeing a $700

Good News: Michelle Able To Keep Taxpayer Cost Of Ireland Junket Under $10 Million

By Mike Miller  

In June of 2013, Michelle Obama, her daughters, and their entourage took a 3-day trip to Ireland. Documents released Wednesday show that the trip cost taxpayers nearly $8 million.
Air Force documents obtained via a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act lawsuit reveal that taxpayers shelled out $7,670,476.80 on flights to, from and around Ireland during their June 17-19 trip.
Additional documents obtained from the Department of Homeland Security show that the cost for “security and/or other services” for a side trip to Dublin by the Obama ladies and their her entourage was $251,161.86. That total included $55,004.85 spent at the Shelbourne Hotel and $70,855.44 at the Westbury Hotel.
So the grand total – footed entirely by taxpayers – was $7,921,638.66. But hey, if it’ll make you feel any better, that’s only $110,022.76 per hour!
As The Daily Caller reports, this most recent revelation comes on the heels of a release of additional

Η φιλελεύθερη ηθική του δωρεάν εισιτηρίου στο Μετρό του Δημήτρη Ψαρράκη

Τα τελευταία χρόνια βλέπουμε στο Μετρό της Αθήνας μια ήπια μορφή έκφρασης κοινωνικής αλληλεγγύης. Είναι μαγική, θα λέγαμε. Άνθρωποι που βγαίνουν από τους σταθμούς δίνουν το εισιτήριό τους σε ανθρώπους που μπαίνουν, ή το αφήνουν διακριτικά για να το πάρει κάποιος μπαίνοντας. Άγνωστοι άνθρωποι μεταξύ τους κάνουν μια…
σιωπηλή μεταβίβαση μέσα στην ταχύτητα και ανωνυμία της πόλης. Υπάρχει σίγουρα κάτι το γοητευτικό σε αυτή την κίνηση αβρότητας. Κάτι που με γοητεύει πολύ και μένα.

Εδώ είναι και η απορία των Κεντροαριστερών και Κεντροδεξιών φίλων μου: Πώς είναι δυνατόν μία τέτοια πράξη να γοητεύει εμένα, τον κατά κόσμο «Νεοφιλελεύθερο», με μία οικονομική και νομική αντίληψη διαμορφωμένη από τους θεωρητικούς της Σχολής του Σικάγο, όπως τον Friedman ή τον Posner και άλλους τέτοιους «διαβόλους»; Η απάντησή μου στους «συντηρητικούς» και «προοδευτικούς» φίλους μου ήταν κάτι που τους προκάλεσε ακόμη μεγαλύτερη έκπληξη, όταν τους είπα ότι το να δίνεις το εισιτήριό σου βγαίνοντας, δεν είναι ούτε κοινωνική αυθαιρεσία, ούτε αποτελεί ζήτημα πολιτικής διαφωνίας: για έναν Φιλελεύθερο άνθρωπο αυτό είναι ζήτημα ηθικής επιλογής.

Το ερώτημα λοιπόν είναι αυτό: Είναι ηθικό να δίνουμε το εισιτήριό μας σε κάποιον άλλο επιβάτη; Τι θα έλεγε αυτός ο «σατανάς» ο Milton Friedman, αν σας έβλεπε να κάνετε κάτι τέτοιο στο Μετρό; Θα σας έκοβε το χέρι; Θα σας έβαζε φυλακή όπως ο Στουρνάρας και ο Άδωνις; Το αντίθετο, φίλοι μου. Πώς θα σας φαινόταν αν σας έλεγα μάλιστα, ότι θα θεωρούσε αντικοινωνική συμπεριφορά να μην το

"Statement of Principles:" 1944 Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals

John Wayne served four one year terms as president of the Alliance starting in March, 1949.

 

"We believe in, and like, the American way of life: the liberty and freedom which generations before us have fought to create and preserve; the freedom to speak, to think, to live, to worship, to work, and to govern ourselves as individuals, as free men; the right to succeed or fail as free men, according to the measure of our ability and our strength.
Believing in these things, we find ourselves in sharp revolt against a rising tide of communism, fascism, and kindred beliefs, that seek by subversive means to undermine and change this way of life; groups that have forfeited their right to exist in this country of ours, because they seek to achieve their change by means other than the vested procedure of the ballot and to deny the right of the majority opinion of the people to rule.
In our special field of motion pictures, we resent the growing impression that this industry is made of, and dominated by, Communists, radicals, and crackpots. We believe that we represent the vast majority of the people who serve this great medium of expression. But unfortunately it has been an unorganized majority. This has been almost inevitable. The very love of freedom, of the rights of the individual, make this great majority reluctant to organize. But now we must, or we shall meanly lose "the last, best hope on earth."
As Americans, we have no new plan to offer. We want no new plan, we want only to defend against its enemies that which is our priceless heritage; that freedom which has given man, in this country, the fullest life and the richest expression the world has ever known; that system which, in the present emergency, has fathered an effort that, more than any other single factor, will make possible the winning of this war.
As members of the motion-picture industry, we must face and accept an especial responsibility. Motion pictures are inescapably one of the world's greatest forces for influencing public thought and opinion, both at home and abroad. In this fact lies solemn obligation. We refuse to permit the effort of Communist, Fascist, and other totalitarian-minded groups to pervert this powerful medium into an instrument for the dissemination of un-American ideas and beliefs. We pledge ourselves to fight, with every means at our organized command, any effort of any group or individual, to divert the loyalty of the screen from the free America that give it birth. And to dedicate our work, in the fullest possible measure, to the presentation of the American scene, its standards and its freedoms, its beliefs and its ideals, as we know them and believe in them."

How Many Dead People Voted in This North Carolina Election? More Than Zero

Conservatives have been lambasted by the left for advocating voter ID laws that supposedly disenfranchise minorities, but North Carolina is presenting evidence that such safeguards are sorely needed:

State elections officials said Wednesday that they’re investigating hundreds of cases of voters who appear to have voted in two states and several dozen who appear to have voted after their deaths.

…North Carolina’s check found 765 registered North Carolina voters who appear to match registered voters in other states on their first names, last names, dates of birth and the final four digits of their Social Security numbers. Those voters appear to have voted in North Carolina in 2012 and also voted in another state in 2012.

…The crosscheck also found 35,570 voters in North Carolina who voted in 2012 whose first names, last names and dates of birth match those of voters who voted in other states in 2012, but whose Social Security numbers were not matched.

“A lot of states don’t provide last four SSN, or they don’t have that information,” Strach explained.

In addition to these alarming discrepancies, North Carolina found 13,416 deceased voters who remained on the voter rolls as of October 2013. Many of these have not proven to result in actual votes, but some have:

Report: EPA tested deadly pollutants on humans to push Obama admin’s agenda

Michael Bastasch

The Environmental Protection Agency has been conducting dangerous experiments on humans over the past few years in order to justify more onerous clean air regulations.
The agency conducted tests on people with health issues and the elderly, exposing them to high levels of potentially lethal pollutants, without disclosing the risks of cancer and death, according to a newly released government report.
These experiments exposed people, including those with asthma and heart problems, to dangerously high levels of toxic pollutants, including diesel fumes, reads a EPA inspector general report obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. The EPA also exposed people with health issues to levels of pollutants up to 50 times greater than the agency says is safe for humans.
The EPA conducted five experiments in 2010 and 2011 to look at the health effects of particulate matter, or PM, and diesel exhaust on humans. The IG’s report found that the EPA did get consent forms from 81 people in five studies. But the IG also found that “exposure risks were not always consistently represented.”
“Further, the EPA did not include information on long-term cancer risks in its diesel exhaust studies’ consent forms,” the IG’s report noted. “An EPA manager considered these long-term risks minimal for short-term study exposures” but “human subjects were not informed of this risk in the consent form.”
According to the IG’s report, “only one of five studies’ consent forms provided the subject with information on the upper range of the pollutant” they would be exposed to, but even more alarming is that only “two of five alerted study subjects to the risk of death for older individuals with cardiovascular disease.”
Three of the studies exposed people to high levels of PM and two of the studies exposed people to high levels of diesel exhaust and ozone. Diesel exhaust contains 40 toxic air contaminants, including 19 that are known carcinogens and PM. The EPA has publicly warned of the dangers of PM, but seemed to downplay
