In the last four weeks, 1,410,000 “workers” are out of work and have filed for unemployment.
In the week ending June 1, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 346,000, a decrease of 11,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 357,000. The 4-week moving average was 352,500, an increase of 4,500 from the previous week’s revised average of 348,000.
That’s a recovery only Obama (and the MSM) can believe in.
For the zillionth time. It’s what community organizers and like-minded statists do. This is exactly how you fundamentally change America. Alias and secret email communications. Out of reach of FOIA. Behind closed doors. Lying to the public. Breaching America’s trust is immaterial to this administration. As always with them, the end justifies the means.

There are death panels. It’s called ‘red tape’ and it has the face of Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Secretary Sebelius has turned down appeals to overrule a federal regulation that could save the life of a 10-year girl who desperately needs a lung transplant or faces dying in the next three to five weeks.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius described her decision as ‘incredibly agonizing’ when she told a congressional panel on Tuesday that she won’t intervene in a transplant decision to save a dying Pennsylvania girl. Sarah Murnaghan doesn’t qualify for an adult lung transplant until the age of 12, according to federal regulations, Sebelius has the authority to waive that rule on her behalf. Death Panel.
In reply to an appeal to suspend the 12 yr. limit made by Rep. Lou Barletta on behalf of 10 yr. old Sarah, Sebelius said “I would suggest, sir, that, again, this is an incredibly agonizing situation where someone lives and someone dies.”
What? Now fat cats who avoid taxes offshore are cool.
By now, everyone is numb with Obama’s hypocrisy. Also by now, no one (media included) expects him to govern. He’s on the never-ending campaign. Fighting against the consequences of his own policies.
Yet another case for replacing the tax code, with the FairTax. No reason to hide income under the FairTax, because income is not taxed. That money can stay right here and be put to use right here.
Opening a summer showdown with Congress, a combative President Barack Obama nominated three judges to a powerful appellate court Tuesday and challenged Republicans to stop the “political obstruction” holding up his nominees. Obama said “There’s no reason, aside from politics, for Republicans to block these individuals from getting an up-or-down vote.”
Tell that to the hundreds of conservative non-profit applicants that passed through two election cycles and are still waiting. I feel your pain Mr. President.
Can’t think of a better way to just slit this country’s throat. Why do Democrats like Schumer hate this country so much that they’re willing to lay down our sovereignty and heritage? Too embarrassed to be proud of America at the expense of political party dominance. Do you know of any country that would pay illegal immigrants to come and for being here illegally?
It’s no wonder Democrats won’t consider the FairTax. It doesn’t allow for income redistribution like this.
Raising the issue of ‘trust‘ in the Obama administration yet again. It turns out that the IRS’s targeting of political enemies of the administration was not a result of a few rouge agents in the Cincinnati IRS office. According to agents, present and former, those orders came from Washington. Who is surprised to see that the story we were originally told by Ms. Lerner proved to be a lie and, the reason she plead the 5th? It’s like Benghazi without the movie.
One can only hope that this lawless administration sooner or later is held to account, fired, or jailed.
There’s been a special election underway, early voting began last Saturday, for a Representative for Florida’s District 2. The Pensacola News Journal and their editorial board both (both? don’t know what the difference could be) endorse the Republican candidate Mike Hill.
The candidates; Mike Hill (R), small business owner and founder of the Northwest Florida Tea Party who also happens to be Black, and Jeremy Lau (D), aircraft mechanic and labor union leader who happens to not be Black, are vying for your vote.
The vitriol in the comment sections in the PNJ directed against Hill are all too commonplace. The fact that Lau is also a labor union leader brings out the union thugs to gang up on him in the comment sections.
I support Mike Hill. Your mileage may vary. But I’m inviting all interested to jump in and opine for your candidate, or against the other candidate. For this post only, to facilitate the unabridged rudeness and nonsense of the Left, I am suspending the rule of being civil in your comments. You may feel free to behave here like some do on the PNJ’s website, or like you normally do.
” Do you want someone who will go to Tallahassee to stand up for the working people?” said Raymond Guillory on Mike Hill’s facebook page. NO Raymond, I want someone who will go to Tallahassee to stand up for ALL people. Someone who will legislate to create more jobs so more people may work. And that man is Mike Hill. The Democrat candidate Lau, is the labor union’s choice. That should tell you who he’s looking out for. He’s looking out for unions, a small percentage of “working people,” and will vote for legislation designed to increase union membership, not more jobs. He’ll vote for legislation that will buttress union’s underfunded pensions. He’ll vote for legislation that is bad for your children’s education, but good for the teachers union. And that’s not good for ALL the people.
Now there’s a ticket. Gov. Jesse Ventura and Howard Stern. Couldn’t you see them on the campaign trail, complete with the circus tent? The security detail would have to include some lesbians (Stern) and Occupy Wall Streeters (Ventura). Instead of guns, the Occupiers would carry bongs or something.
With Jesse “the body” being a 9/11 truther himself, whatever votes they may get would come from the Democratic side.
Go for it Jesse, Howard. You can count on a contribution from me.
