I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!

President’s Weekly Address – We Must Extend Unemployment Insurance – Video

President Obama used his first weekly address of 2014 to urge Republicans to joint Democrats in doing what they should for the unemployed – extending unemployment insurance.

 For decades, Republicans and Democrats put partisanship and ideology aside to offer some security for job-seekers, even when the unemployment rate was lower than it is today.  Instead of punishing families who can least afford it, Republicans should make it their New Year’s resolution to do the right thing, and restore this vital economic security for their constituents right now.

After all, our focus as a country this year shouldn’t be shrinking our economy, but growing it; not narrowing opportunity, but expanding it; not fewer jobs, but doing everything we can to help our businesses create more of the good jobs that a growing middle class requires.

Melissa Harris Perry Offers Tearful Heartfelt Apology To Romneys – Video

I’m not trying to make this apology a political issue, but this is just another example of the vast difference between Democrats and Republicans.

On December 29th Melissa Harris Perry, host at MSNBC, aired a show featuring a group of comedians to reflect on some of the news that caught their attention during the year 2013. It was a panel of comedians, so naturally the segment’s intent was comedic. What caused the controversy was a picture Melissa showed of the Romney’s grand kids, showing Mitt Romney’s black adopted grandson. Melissa’s panel of comedians offered various ‘jokes’ about the Romney clan and the Republican media went insane, demanding an immediate apology.

Among those calling for an apology was, of course, Sarah Palin. Palin took to her Facebook page and called the comedic segment “despicable.” She wrote;

“Leftist media hounds are not expressing an opinion with this attack; they are expressing a prejudice that would never be accepted if it came from anyone else but the lib[eral] media. This latest attack from the Left is despicable.”

So today, one week after her episode aired, Melissa Perry offered an apology. A tearful, heartfelt apology. Will anyone on the right ever apologize for anything they’ve said? Will Sarah Palin apologize for her careless slavery analogy that caused Martin Bashir to lose his job at MSNBC? Will Rush Limbaugh issue an apology to Sandra Fluke and all the women for all the insensitive things he’s said over the last 20 years?

Of course they wont. And that’s the difference between us and them.

Melissa’s apology.

Guaranteed – How to Save $1378 This Year?

This is a very simple challenge. So simple, anyone can do it.

For the 52 weeks of the year, put some money aside. You decide the amount based on the week you’re in. For example, for the first week of January (week 1), put $1 in your savings. For the second week of January (week 2), put $2 in your savings. It goes on and on for each week… for the 7th week of the year, deposit $7. For the 18th week, deposit $18.

Here’s the guarantee – if you continue this process for the entire year, you will save $1378 by the 52nd week of the year when you make your last deposit of $52.

Try it!

Conservative Group Puts Picture of an ‘Obama Lynching’ on Their Facebook Page

These people are absolutely disgusting and that’s not just my opinion. Even the people who visited the Facebook post – some of them conservatives  –  let their feelings known, causing the owner of the page to remove the picture.

The group called America the next Generation, thought it was proper to display a picture showing a noose being placed around a man’s neck with the president’s face superimposed on the man’s body. A graphic had the words “The making if a National Holiday,” implying that the killing of the president would be celebrated as a national holiday.

Although some people were agreed the idea of the picture, the outrage was apparently too much. American the next Generation eventually removed the picture with a clarification that it was taken down out of respect for the page’s supporters who did not feel that killing the legally elected President of the United States was an appropriate way to handle a dislike of the man.

Woman Accuses Former Girlfriend of Decapitating her Sex Toys

Sticks and stones may break the bones, but decapitating her Sex toys? Oh, this fight just want to a whole new level!

That’s the accusation that Florida woman Lakenya Bristol, 32, is hurling at her former girlfriend, 37-year-old Regina Watts.

Bristol was arrested in mid-November for domestic violence, according to The Smoking Gun. After that, Watts packed up Bristol’s belongings and told her to move. When Bristol went through her items, she saw her three dildos, but their tops had been chopped off.

According to a police report uncovered by The Smoking Gun, Watts denied any sex toy sabotage and said the dildo damage must have come after she gave Bristol back her stuff.

Investigators in Indian River County have since closed the probe, citing a “lack of further investigative leads.”

School Bus Driver Couldn’t Find School – Dropped Kids Off at Bus Stop

A Queens mother says a school bus driver left several young children to fend for themselves when he couldn’t find their school.

Rochelle Mason says she dropped her 7-year-old son off at the bus stop on 224th Street and 145th Road in Springfield Gardens Thursday morning.

She says that the bus driver told the kids he did not know how to get to the school, and after making several wrong turns, returned to the bus stop and dropped off the children.

With no adults there waiting for them, they had to walk to school or walk back home.

“I was so scared. I didn’t know what to do,” said Darius Mason, Rochelle Mason’s son. “I was like, ‘Is there someone who’s going to help us?’ And then this lady who was here, she saw the bus driver just leave us there, so then she helped us, and she helped us get home.”

Rochelle Mason says she then called P.S. 181, where she says officials didn’t even realize there was a problem.

She says she called the Allied bus company, which denied that it was one of their drivers on that route.

It took over the route from the Atlantic Express bus company, which closed on December 31 and had its routes reassigned to other companies.

“At this point, I feel very uncomfortable putting him on the school bus,” Rochelle Mason said. “I can’t get any answers from the bus company. That’s not acceptable. You cannot leave children in the street.”

Allied Transit had no comment when NY1 called.

NY1 also reached out to the Department of Education for comment

While They Complained about The Website, SinglePayer Went Into Effect

Did you notice the best part?

Did you see what happened when everyone was complaining about a website?

Single-payer got started in America!!!

Vermont is using authority granted in a provision under the Affordable Care Act to start a single-payer system. Most Americans still don’t know what the phrase “single-payer” even means. It had little support in Congress in 2009 and Senate “Democrats” like Nelson and Lieberman even killed the public option. But, the ACA had this sweet little provision that allowed states to set up a single-payer system and now people will see it in action. You know what that means.

As Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) opines, “The quickest route toward a national health care program will be when individual states go forward and demonstrate that universal and non-profit health care works, and that it is the cost-effective and moral thing to do.”

As many predicted, ACA is already leading to the kind of transformative progressive change Obama promised. The progressive movement will be responsible for showing the nation how well single-payer works after the Vermont system goes into effect. When public and non-profit insurance becomes the national norm, we’ll know where it began.

President Obama’s Approval Numbers Are On The Rise

The President’s poll numbers hit a low of 39% approval and 54% disapproval when this poll was taken during the December 21st to 23rd period. Around that same time, Americans were storming the healthcare.gov website signing up for policies that went into effect January 1st. But since the 39% lows, Americans are beginning to see President Obama in a whole new light and Obamacare-love seems to be the only reason, considering the President has not done anything tremendous since those lows. In fact, he is on vacation with his family.

According to the new poll taken between December 27 and December 29th, President Obama’s approval shot up to 44% and his disapproval fell to 49%. Just another small piece of evidence to prove that, unlike the Republican lie claiming that people don’t want Obamacare, they do want Obamacare and they’re loving it!

Conservative Radio god Bob Grant Dead at 84

NEW YORK (AP) — Longtime conservative radio host Bob Grant, whose combative style became the template for broadcasters such as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, has died at age 84.

Grant’s death on Tuesday in Hillsborough, N.J., after a short illness was confirmed on Thursday by New York radio station WABC, which once fired him over his acid-tongued remarks about the plane crash death of one of President Bill Clinton’s cabinet members, the first black commerce secretary.

“Remember this: If you are offended during the next two hours, it’s nobody’s fault but mine,” Grant said at the top of a broadcast featured in a 2010 tribute. “Because somebody’s got to say these things. It has to be me.”

Grant was born Robert Ciro Gigante in Chicago in 1929. He began his broadcasting career in the 1940s at WBBM in Chicago. He moved on to radio and television jobs in Los Angeles and was named afternoon drive time host at WABC in 1984.

Over the years, Grant, who was white, offended some listeners by referring to former New York Mayor David Dinkins, who’s black, as a “washroom attendant,” calling Clinton a “sleazebag” and suggesting women on welfare should be sterilized.

Republican Steve King Compares Himself to Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson

And amazingly,  his comparison was made in a fund-raising email.

According to the Des Moines Register, King’s email said that the Duck Dynasty situation “illustrates the left’s unspoken rule that tolerance is a one way street. Conservatives are to be tolerant of liberal ideology; however, the left need not be tolerant of conservative Christians.”

King continued:

I have been in similar situations to the one Phil Robertson finds himself in now. I have learned to navigate their intolerance while holding firm to our values. Whether it’s the Robertsons or anyone who finds themselves in the crosshairs of the media or a leftist hyperventilater sitting across the table at the local diner, employ this strategy:

Don’t back down. If you are right and you are standing on principle, whatever you do, don’t back down. The second you back down, they win.

Don’t apologize. John Wayne said, “Never apologize. It’s a sign of weakness.” I agree, unless we are wrong and we are not wrong.

Double down. Americans recognize courage and conviction. If the left attacks our conservative beliefs, I say, “If you don’t like that, here’s some more.”

Never waiver from the truth. This includes taking on all the left’s false premises before they become the perceived truth. The left is not held accountable to the truth — it is our duty to expose them. Objective truth is a shield protecting us from the left.

Tolerance has never been a two-way street with the left. Time and time again conservatives are lambasted for stating their opinions, the opinions derived from faith, family, and an understanding of history. Once again the left encourages a double standard to advance their agenda.

As you know, I have not and will not back down. And like other conservatives who stand their ground, I’m always a top target of the left.

King went on to explain that with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) retiring and Col. Allen West no longer in the House, he is the “last one standing” when it comes to major conservative targets up for re-election.
