I have been reading and watching the violence and rioting going on in Baltimore for a while. It is truly astonishing listening to the residents of the city, the pundits, and the elected officials and none of them seem to understand the basic principles of problem solving.
Problem solving requires a few steps: Continue reading
From CNN:
The amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits a person can get is based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Thrifty Food Plan. The plan estimates how much it costs to buy food, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
In this case, Paltrow will be spending just under $30 for groceries.
The lefties have been running around squealing “hypocrite!”, “OMG SERIOUSLY?!?!?”, posting, tweeting, facebooking, and laughing it up all day. It was announced that new Presidential candidate Ted Cruz is going to sign up for Obamacare. For reasons some on the left may not realize, this is actually required under the law. However, I am making the case that this is the beginning of their worst nightmare. Continue reading
During a hearing today ordered by U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen in Texas, Department of Justice Lawyers spent time explaining the circumstances of the 100,000 illegals that were granted work permits under the expanded DACA program that he had placed an injunction.
It was in the original hearing for the injunction that DOJ attorneys assured the court that no illegals had been granted status in either the newly defined DAPA program, the program to allow parents here illegally because children were born here, or expansion of the DACA program that allowed the parents to stay here on a deferred basis.

Some more items of interest in the news..
Depending on which side of the political aisle you’re on, no doubt you have heard the latest dust up regarding whether the Republican Senators who signed the open letter to Iran are traitors. Make no mistake, the liberals are on full blast screaming about how seditious these irresponsible Republicans are, so much so, they have created a petition to get charges filed against these Obama haters.

This is in response to the Paul Waldman’s extreme whining titled: Republicans are beginning to act as though Barack Obama isn’t even the president
Let’s examine what he says..
It’s safe to say that no president in modern times has had his legitimacy questioned by the opposition party as much as Barack Obama. But as his term in office enters its final phase, Republicans are embarking on an entirely new enterprise: They have decided that as long as he holds the office of the presidency, it’s no longer necessary to respect the office itself.
Hillary Clinton’s email problems from the NY Times article caused several media supporters to come rushing to her aid by attempting to paint Republicans as also using private email addresses in an effort to temper, and perhaps kill the obvious issue.
Their efforts to demonstrate hypocrisy on the right was ground to a halt when Fox News showed video of a July 2007 speech in which she called out the Bush administration for using private email accounts as part of a larger “cronyism and corruption” scheme to obscure the public on its war efforts.
From Breitbart News:
“Specifically, between November 24, 2014 and the issuance of the Court’s Order, USCIS granted three-year periods of deferred action to approximately 100,000 individuals who had requested deferred action under the original 2012 DACA guidelines (and were otherwise determined to warrant such relief), including the issuance of three-year EADs for those 2012 DACA recipients who were eligible for renewal,” the administration explains. “These pre-injunction grants of three-year periods of deferred action to those already eligible for 2012 DACA were consistent with the terms of the November Guidance.”
Not sure how this will play out in the Court’s understanding of facts when issuing the injunction and the subsequent decision to accept or deny the government’s motion to stay, and may be a moot point considering DACA has been available since 2012. However, what is interesting is that the Justice Department never presented this in any filings and are just now doing so.
The Justice Department in the last few years has had a miserable record of malfeasance in litigation, including FOIA requests, New Orleans Katrina prosecutions, and various other misconduct. It seems as though the President’s lawlessness and unprofessional antics of his legal department continues unabated in its desire to bring immigration reform to cement a dreadful legacy.
Are stoned rabbits a big problem elsewhere?
From the Washington Post:
Utah is considering a bill that would allow patients with certain debilitating conditions to be treated with edible forms of marijuana. If the bill passes, the state’s wildlife may “cultivate a taste” for the plant, lose their fear of humans, and basically be high all the time. That’s according to testimony presented to a Utah Senate panel (time stamp 58:00) last week by an agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Question: Can you get a secondary high if you cook a stoned rabbit in a smoker?
