Pa. Gov. Tom Wolf Hides Staff Pay Raises
Millionaire Democrat Tom Wolf promised Pennsylvania voters last year he'd be a different type of politician if they elected him governor. Now that he's in Harrisburg, it's business-as-usual for the tax-and-spend liberal. Despite $2.3 billion budget shortfall facing state government, the political class in Harrisburg won't be suffering under Wolf. In addition to higher base salaries for his political appointees, Wolf also promised them automatic pay raises every year. It's only money.

'American Sniper' Earns 'Stunning' $64 Million in 2nd Weekend; Tops $200M
Coming off a very surprising opening, "American Sniper" reinforced its status as a box office heavyweight by scoring one of the biggest second weekends ever.
With over $200 million in the bank already, "Sniper" is now on track to be the highest-grossing movie from 2014 (it opened in New York and Los Angeles on Christmas Day).
Among the new releases, Jennifer Lopez's "The Boy Next Door" got off to a decent start, while "Mortdecai" and "Strange Magic" were dead on arrival.
Expanding to 3,705 locations — the widest release ever for an R-rated movie — "American Sniper" added an estimated $64 million this weekend. That ranks eighth all-time among second weekends, ahead of movies like "The Dark Knight Rises," "The Hunger Games" and "The Passion of the Christ."
That $64 million tally is off just 28 percent from the movie's opening frame, which is the best second weekend hold ever for a movie that opened above $80 million.
With fantastic word-of-mouth and a few more weeks of light competition, "American Sniper" should continue to hold well in the coming weeks. It will likely close north of $350 million — good enough for the top movie of 2014 — and it even has an outside chance at reaching $400 million.

From Ray Subers at BoxOfficeMojo.com
Sonny Bunch: An Alternate Explanation for 'American Sniper's' Box Office Success
"American Sniper's" $18.3 million haul is, by a large margin, the biggest second Friday ever for an R-rated movie. In comparison, "The Passion of the Christ" added $13.7 million, while "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Hangover Part II" earned $10.3 million and $10.6 million, respectively. Sniper's second Friday was also significantly higher than all of 2014's superhero movies, which were in the $9 to $12 million range.And check out this interesting analysis on why "Sniper" is such a hit with audiences:
After eight days in nationwide release, American Sniper has already earned $154.1 million. On Friday, it passed "Gran Torino" to become director Clint Eastwood's highest-grossing movie ever. It also eclipsed Bradley Cooper's "American Hustle."

Rep. Joe Pitts to Barack Obama: Bipartisanship Requires More Than Words
Guest Columnist
At
the end of the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy taps her feet three times while
saying, “There’s no place like home.” She wakes up back in Kansas in her
own bed. In dreams, mere words may be able to
make something happen. Here in the real world and especially in
politics, words aren’t enough to get things done.
The President’s State of the Union speech is always an
important part of the political
debate. The TV ratings may not be what they were a few decades ago, but
the address is still carried on every broadcast channel, all the cable
news channels and gets front page coverage in all the national
papers.
President
Obama’s party may no longer control Congress, but he still has the
power of the veto pen, executive authority and the ability to set the
agenda through his speeches. Coming into his
seventh year in office, the President faces a new political reality:
Republicans control both chambers of Congress.
During
the speech, the President recalled the Democratic National Convention
speech that first vaulted him to national prominence in 2004. This is
the speech where he said there wasn’t “a liberal
America and a conservative America; there's the United States of
America.”
It’s
one thing to say that once a year in the biggest speech of the year,
and another thing to actually do it on a day-to-day basis. Behind the
high-minded sentiments
of the address, there were concrete policy proposals. Only a small
handful of those proposals have any real hope of finding bipartisan
support.
The
President did call for more authority from Congress to negotiate trade
deals with Pacific nations and Europe. The President also announced an
initiative
to improve research into diseases. This sounded somewhat similar to the
21st Century Cures initiative that House Energy and Commerce members in both parties started last year.
There
really isn’t common ground to be found on many of the biggest proposals
in the speech. For instance, the President wants to reduce the price of
community
college to nothing for students who maintain a C average.
Right
now, the federal government has very little reach into community
colleges, which are controlled principally by states and counties. By
paying for the bulk
of tuition for these schools, they would effectively be nationalized.
The President noted that Tennessee, a state run by Republicans,
currently pays for community college tuition.
That
the President would use Tennessee as an example shows just how
disconnected he is from Republicans. That a state already has the
ability to act on their
own and tailor a program to their own needs is a strong argument
against an expansive new federal program.
One
of the other major proposals was a series of new tax credits paid for
with a series of new tax hikes. The President already raised taxes with
his health
care law and in the fiscal cliff negotiations. I don’t know of a single
Republican elected to federal office who ran on a platform of raising
taxes. In fact, almost every member would be at risk of losing their
primary if they even voiced support for the President’s
plan.
The
President then threatened to veto a wide variety of bills that could be
on their way to his desk. The fact is that almost anything that will
get to the President’s desk this year will have
real bipartisan backing. Senate Republicans will need at least six
Democrats to pass most bills.
I
know how hard bipartisanship is to make happen. When I served on the
Budget Committee, I negotiated with the Clinton administration to pass
balanced budgets four years in a row. As the Chairman
of the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, I’ve negotiated major
bills to govern the Food and Drug Administration and reform the way we
pay doctors working in Medicare.
Rep. Joe Pitts is a Republican who represents Pennsylvania's 16th Congressional District.
