6.2M have lost health coverage under Obamacare so far
Rein in the IRS by de-clubbing the thugs
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on IRS abuses under Obama: Without a “smidgen of corruption” — at least in the alternate universe of President Obama — the IRS is moving ahead with a proposal that will bury tens of thousands of nonprofits in new paperwork. Consider it the Obama administration's “salute” to the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United verdict on political speech and campaign funding.

Joe Biden to Democrats: Don't 'apologize for a single thing'
Joe Biden is that rare combination of arrogance and ignorance that makes him a perfect fit for the Democratic Party.
Being a member of the Democratic Party and helping Barack Obama destroy the country means never having to say you're sorry, according to Biden.

Hey, Obama: Record-High Deficits Are Not 'Austerity'

All In The Family: Dingell Edition
This is what's wrong with Congress. A Congressional seat from Michigan has been held by a member of the Dingell family since 1933. And after 58 years in office, 87-year-old John Dingell Jr. is finally retiring, only to have his wife run for the same seat - keeping it in the family for another 20-30 years. This is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

Obama wants feds to monitor America's newsrooms
For a former Constitutional law professor, it appears Barack Obama has never actually read the US Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights.
He's already got the NSA, FBI and IRS spying or harassing his political enemies. Now he's found another unconstitutional way to use a federal agency to monitor news gathering.

Al Gore weighs in on Pa. governor's race
Global Warming charlatan Al Gore wants Pennsylvania residents to elect Democrat Katie McGinty as governor.
McGinty is one of eight Democrats seeking their party's nomination to run against incumbent Republican Gov. Tom Corbett.
Her ties to Gore go back to the 1980s. McGinty was environmental adviser to Gore's unsuccessful 2000 presidential campaign. Before that, McGinty spent a decade working in Washington, D.C., both in Gore’s Senate office, which she joined in 1989, and for the Clinton White House, most notably as chairwoman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, according to The Associated Press.
My advice to McGinty: I wouldn't brag too much about Gore's endorsement, especially as Pennsylvania residents are still digging out from all this global warming.

Obama: The Time for Austerity is Over, the Time to Spend is Now!

So what if we're $17.2 trillion in the hole? Keep printing money and keep digging. Eventually, we might get to China, which technically already owns the United States.

Chester County GOP Endorses Ryan Costello for Congress
Costello, currently chairman of the Chester County Board of Commissioners, is attempting to succeed fellow Republican Jim Gerlach (also a Chester County resident.)
Gerlach, who first won the 6th District seat in 2002, announced earlier this year that he will not see re-election.
In addition to his duties as county commissioner, Costello is an attorney in Phoenixville, Pa.
This is a press release issued Wednesday night:
WEST CHESTER, PA – Ryan Costello received the formal endorsement of the Republican Committee of Chester County in his campaign for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 6th Congressional following a vote this evening by rank and file members of the party at a nominating convention in West Chester. Costello currently serves as Chairman of the Chester County Board of Commissioners.Costello is the only Republican seeking the Republican nod in the 6th Congressional District. Two Democrats have also announced.Costello clearly has the advantage to succeed Gerlach because he can count on the Chester County vote and won't have to wage a primary fight.
"It is an honor to have the endorsement and support of the committee people of Chester County," said Costello. "As a Member of Congress, I will work to keep taxes low, control government spending, and promote continued economic growth in our region. We need to get our country back on track and restore a national sense of optimism about the future direction of America. That means we need elected officials who are going to put the interests of the American people first.
"I appreciate the confidence that the committee people have placed in me, and I want to especially thank Chairman Val DiGiorgio for his leadership of the committee." said Costello. "Just as important, I appreciate all of the hard work they do year in year out to help communicate the Republican ideals of fiscal responsibility and limited government to voters. Their support and dedication is going to be a key factor in the weeks and months to come as this campaign heats up."
For federal employees, office closed 25% of fiscal year, so far
Next time somebody tells you how hard government workers have it, you can shove this fact in their face:

Obama vs. First Amendment
Dick Morris on Obama's latest scheme to suppress our fundamental right to freedom of the press:
The Federal Communications Commission is about to launch a direct assault on the freedom of the media to cover news as it chooses. The program, called the Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs, involves requesting information from all radio and TV stations, as well as newspapers, about how they cover news, who decides what gets covered, and what criteria they use in the decision. The FCC will also conduct a "content analysis" of one week's coverage to decide whether each of eight "critical" categories of news is being given adequate attentionDick Morris: Obama vs. First Amendment | TheHill

Michael Barone: The roots of American liberalism are not compassion, but snobbery
From Michael Barone's latest column:
The roots of American liberalism are not compassion, but snobbery. That’s the thesis of Fred Siegel’s revealing new book, “The Revolt Against the Masses: How Liberalism Has Undermined the Middle Class.”The failure of Obama's aristocracy of merit
The standard account from liberal historians over the years, and more recently in bestsellers by Glenn Beck, is a linear story: Government expansion starts with the Progressives of a hundred years ago, accelerates through the New Deal and the Great Society, and is followed up by the Obama stimulus and Obamacare.

Year 5 of Obama's Failed Stimulus
Happy Anniversary America! It's been 5 years since Barack Obama and Congress gave us the $787 billion stimulus bill that was going to jump-start the US economy. The economy is still in the toilet ... and you can thank Barack Obama and Congress of wasting hundreds of billions on pet projects and rewarding their political contributors. Meanwhile, millions are still out of work and tens of millions have given up looking for work entirely.

US Rep. Joe Pitts on latest Obamacare delay
From Congressman Joe Pitt's office: Monday afternoon, the Obama administration announced a further delay of the employer mandate to purchase insurance contained in Obamacare.
Businesses with between 50 and 99 employees will not be required to provide insurance until January 2016. The rules also require larger businesses to cover only some of their employees by the January 2015 deadline. The Affordable Care Act required businesses with more than 50 full time employees to provide health care by January 1, 2014. The individual mandate to purchase insurance goes into effect this year
Congressman Pitts, who represents Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District, had this to say:

Congressman Pitts, who represents Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District, had this to say:
"Here we go again. Obamacare just keeps changing to meet the political needs of this administration. There’s no legal authority for further delay and no authority to create another category of employers. This just adds to the legal chaos that is making it hard for employers to grow their business and expand hiring."

Orthodox Church Canonizes First Saints in More Than 50 Years
Some exciting news from His All Holiness Bartholomew, Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch, leader of the world's 300 million Orthodox Christians: The Orthodox Church has recognized its first new saints in more than 50 years - Hieromonks Porphyrios Kafsokalyvitis and Meletios of Ypseni (Rhodes).
We tend to think of saints as people who lived thousands of years ago.
Porphyrios Kafsokalyvitis lived from 1906 to 1991. Meletios of Ypseni was born at the end of the 18th Century.
They are the first saints to be canonized by the Orthodox Church since St. Nektarios of Aegina in 1961.
You can read more about the new saints in the latest edition of the Orthodox Observer.

Sen. Pat Toomey: CBO Report on Obamacare 'Devastating'
U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) released the following statement about the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office report that says the President's health care law will reduce the number of full-time workers by about 2.5 million:
"Like many Pennsylvanians, I believe that creating more jobs and growing the economy should be one of our top priorities in Washington. Unfortunately, many of the policies that have been enacted by this Administration - especially Obamacare - are taking us in the opposite direction.
"Today, nonpartisan CBO has reported that Obamacare will cost millions of jobs and slow economic growth. This report should be big news but, sadly, these results are as predictable as they are devastating.
"Since I came to the Senate in 2011, business owners and individuals have warned me that onerous Obamacare mandates will make health insurance policies unaffordable, force employers to shed jobs, while greatly limiting the availability of full-time work that offer families sustaining wages. This nonpartisan CBO report confirms that Pennsylvania cannot afford the severe economic consequences and job loss created by the President's health care law."
