DEBT CEILING 101

This is a ckear and simple explanation of something I've seen completely misunderstood in arguments on Facebook recently. Being a musician and a songwriter, I really appreciate these kinds of articles since I, like so many, don't have any background to understand financial matters and the inner workings of our government seems like a matrix made of quicksand.

Mike Patton wrote this article on Forbes:I write for a world filled with confusion and self-interest. If you agree that people search for simple, straight-forward and unbiased analysis follow along as we "Make Cents" of topics ranging from the economy (including a splash of political analysis), the world of investing, and financial planning (ex; estate & tax, insurance, risk management, and retirement strategies).
In this article, we will explain the debt ceiling; examine a few rules that govern it, discuss the current national debt, and reveal what could happen if Congress fails to raise it.

A place to help people with modest needs

Founded in 2002, Modest Needs is a non-profit organization with a unique, threefold mission. Modest Needs exists:

To responsibly provide short-term financial assistance to individuals and families in temporary crisis who, because they are working and live just above the poverty level, are ineligible for most types of conventional social assistance but who (like many of us) are living one or two lost paychecks away from the kind of financial catastrophe that eventually leads to homelessness;

To lessen the burden of state and federal agencies charged with the care of the truly indigent by doing everything in our power to stop these at-risk households from slipping into the cycle of poverty, despite the burden posed by an unanticipated, emergency expense; and

To promote compassion and generosity on the part of individual persons living in the United States and Canada, the areas that we serve, by standing as a living testament to the power of human kindness to change lives, no matter how much (or how little) a person has to share.

COMPROMISE

The word "compromise" only ever comes up when leftists think that Republicans are not going to go along with their agenda!

Enemies of the state do not have loyalty to this country as founded. Progressives have been trying to change the country since Woodrow Wilson was elected president, and radicals took over after the Left killed one of their own: JFK. Cultural Marxists , facilitated by members of The Frankfurt School, began the disintegration of our shared values (why people died trying to get to this country). The declassification, in the mid-1990's, of The Venona Project documents verified beyond the shadow of a doubt that Communists had infiltrated this country at every level, not only the government or Hollywood.

Any more compromise, and we're going to compromise ourselves right out of the freest, most prosperous nation the world has ever known.

Any questions?

WSJ: OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DELIBERATELY MISLED THE NATION

WALL STREET JOURNAL:
Thanks to Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony on Thursday, we now understand why the former secretary of state never wanted anyone to see her emails and why the State Department sat on documents. Turns out those emails and papers show that the Obama administration deliberately misled the nation about the deadly events in Libya on Sept. 11, 2012.

White man evil; noble savage good

"White man evil, noble savage good. The same guilt-mongering claptrap that’s been around since Rousseau..." --Dr. Jack Wheeler

THE NEW YORK SUN, 2/2/2005:
"I have lived 78 years without hearing of bloody places like Cambodia," Winston Churchill was once heard to remark. Now, of course, we have all heard of Cambodia. It was there, in the 1970s, that one of the most drastic programs of social engineering in all of history was carried out. The Khmer Rouge, a peasant movement led by utopian leftists educated in postwar Paris, took over the country and began shoveling her population around like wet concrete, with the aim of eliminating forever such bourgeois blights as private property, money, love, education, and religion.

The Khmer Rouge practiced a collective style of leadership, but from 1968 onwards a middle-aged cadre named Saloth Sar emerged as first among equals. In 1970 he changed his name to Pol Pot, for reasons he never explained. It is as Pol Pot that he is known to history; and it is under this name that he is commonly listed with the other ideologically driven gangster-despots — Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Kim, and Castro — who brought so much destruction and misery to the world in the 20th century.

Like most communist leaders, Pol Pot came from a well-off family...

Obama and Hillary: Crimes and Scandals

There's more, but you get the idea:

President Barack Obama's Complete List of Historic Firsts [Updated]:

Obama Administration Scandals (from the attorneys at Powerline):

21 most consequential Clinton scandals, ranked from most important:

Have We Forgotten The Noakhali 1946 Genocide of Hindus?

“Reports published in the press and statements of public workers depict a scene of bestiality and medieval barbarity that must fill every decent human being with shame, disgust and anger. “British correspondent of The Statesman remarked,

“Experience of the second world war has made my nerve quite strong. But even war is not such barbaric. It is middle age type insanity. And it was given a horrible shape”
Why haven't we heard about this?
If the readers are wondering as to why such a major tragedy has not come to light, they should thank Nehru and subsequent Congress governments. Ignoring world renowned and respected historians like R.C.Majumdar, all educational institutions like NCERT & ICHR have been given to Marxists and Muslims like Romila Thapar, Irfan Habib, Gopal Krishan and R.S.Sharma. Their common qualification is their hatred for Hindu dharm and everything that it stands for.

BTW: Florida voter errors cost Al Gore the 2000 presidential election

For all my foreign readers and readers who don't know or don't remember, our 2000 presidential election is the reason why politics in the United States turned as horribly bitter and divided as it continues to be today!

There is a two-part TV documentary which premiered in Britain and America on February 20, 2012 that reveals how friends and colleagues around Bill Clinton around, speaking publicly for the first time, tell of their disbelief and sense of betrayal about Monica Lewinsky affair. This made Al Gore's victory all the more important for the Democrats to be vindicated and redeemed.

Today, disappointed and angry Democrats will continue to go to their graves believing that George W. Bush "stole" the election from Al Gore and NOTHING will dissuade them from this virulent grudge.

Because our country got rich and fat and FORGOT OUR ROOTS, and also because we have become a nation of celebrity and charisma junkies, we will ALL lose our freedom and the window to turn things around has almost closed as Mark Levin has so well and passionately documented.

Please keep this story handy if you, like I did today, run into someone who still hangs onto that myth:

USA TODAY:
George W. Bush would have won a hand recount of all disputed ballots in Florida's presidential election if the most widely accepted standard for judging votes had been applied, the first comprehensive examination of the ballots shows. However, the review of 171,908 ballots also reveals that voting mistakes by thousands of Democratic voters — errors that legally disqualified their ballots — probably cost former vice president Al Gore 15,000 to 25,000 votes. That's enough to have decisively won Florida and the White House. Gore's best chance to win was lost before the ballots were counted, the study shows. Voters' confusion with ballot instruction and design and voting machines appears to have changed the course of U.S. history.

TWO QUESTIONS

Question one: was Hitler wrong to disarm the Jews? Why or why not?

(Or if you’re a Godwin’s law adherent: was the South wrong to forcibly disarm blacks?)

And question two, should they deign to answer the first one: why did Hitler disarm the Jews?

Ben Carson’s Progressive Critics Are Terrified Of Answering This Question
The reason pro-gun control progressives really, really, really do not want to answer those questions is because the answers are obvious. Hitler disarmed the Jews because it made the whole process of murdering them easier on the Nazis. The Nazis didn’t want to get shot, so they disarmed anyone and everyone who might shoot at them. Like most evil tyrants, Hitler preferred to commit genocide without running the risk of being slowed down by those he intended to oppress and murder. His reason for gun confiscation was no different than the rationale used to disarm blacks in the American South.

Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database

NEW YORK POST:
Such databases have never before existed. Obama is presiding over the largest consolidation of personal data in US history. He is creating a diversity police state where government race cops and civil-rights lawyers will micromanage demographic outcomes in virtually every aspect of society.

The first black president, quite brilliantly, has built a quasi-reparations infrastructure perpetually fed by racial data that will outlast his administration.

HEALTH FREEDOM VS. OBAMACARE FASCISM

...there are three basic propositions of Health Freedom legislation:

1. Health Care is so incredibly expensive in America because of government intervention into the medical marketplace.

2. Health care costs can only be radically reduced by an equally radical reduction of government regulations and subsidies.

3. Just as health care costs will be radically reduced, both the availability and the quality of health care will be radically increased by such a reduction of government intervention.

Given this, here are:

Ten Specific Legislative Means By Which Health Freedom Can Be Achieved:
