Major Update: Ezra Klein interviews someone directly familiar with Obamacare’s technical issues, and he confirms my predictions – this is not going to get fixed soon: So I think some of the problem is the Obama administration never brought in heavyweight IT people to oversee this. Are there no Democrats in Silicon Valley? Kathleen […]

One thing to take away from the last two weeks is how right the GOP was to warn the country of the pending doom to our Health Care System from the evolving ObamaCare debacle. They were so right to try and stop what Obama is doing to individuals and families across this country. So right. […]

I wrote this post days ago, and then hesitated because I did not want to give anyone bad advice and they pay a price with law enforcement. Please note: I am not telling anyone this is risk free or to even attempt it, but recent evnts in DC confirm some of my suspicions: In downtown […]

Another Major Update: Please recall spending during this partial government shutdown IS allowed (and required) to ensure human safety. Therefore no decision to stop services can inflict pain, suffering or danger (like the NPS decision not to pick up trash). Well there are now plenty of examples of where spending should have been maintained and […]

You have to wonder how cold the Democrats are when it comes to the “huddled masses”. Especially when you see crap like this: Senior admin official admits: We’re winning so it doesn’t matter to us when the shutdown ends The reality is clear to everyone, but no good can come from formal acknowledgment. Says Sam […]
