What Obama should tell you in the State of the Union Address

When he delivers his State of the Union address on Tuesday, there are many things President Barack Obama should tell you.

For starters, Obama did not ‘inherit’ a mess?  He asked for one. Nobody twisted his arm to make him run for president.

President George W.  Bush asked for a mess too.

What is Agenda 21?

By Chris Carter

“Agenda 21 proposes an array of actions which are intended to be implemented by every person on Earth…it calls for specific changes in the activities of all people… Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all humans, unlike anything the world has ever experienced… ” - Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet (Earthpress, 1993).

The UN plan referenced by Newt Gingrich is a real threat to private property and US sovereignty.

Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich stated during a recent campaign event that the United Nations was seeking to create an “extraconstitutional control” over the US with programs like Agenda 21. Gingrich's remarks are featured in a YouTube video. But what is Agenda 21,  and why has it taken nearly 20 years before this subject got national recognition?

Agenda 21 seeks to control populations through zoning and seizure of private property, strip national sovereignty, reduce the world population, even control our consumption of meat and air conditioning ... all in the name of the environment. And who can be against the environment, right?

Scheuer unloads on US leaders and educators for war policy

Michael Scheuer has never been bashful. In his book The Looming Tower, author Lawrence Wright described Scheuer as “temperamental.” Scheuer  was CIA chief of the station charged with tracking Osama bin Laden during the 1990s when President Bill Clinton grossly underestimated the al Qaeda leader’s intentions towards the U.S.

Scheuer is an outspoken advocate of non-intervention in the affairs of other countries who don’t pose a threat to the U.S. I don’t know Scheuer’s politics, but I’d place him in alignment with the Libertarian camp on issues like foreign policy.

David Letterman to Clinton the vegan: ‘I’m always looking to blame somebody’

I rarely can stomach David Letterman—it’s like watching a tombstone. I remember when he used to be funny. I watch him every now and then if someone interesting is on.

Anyway Letterman had former president Bill Clinton in the chair last night. I watched part of the interview. You can only take so much of this sort of thing when it’s late at night.

The chat  got a little ridiculous when Clinton said the General Motors bailout wasn’t a bailout—it was an “organized restructuring.”

Taxpayers handed over nearly $50 billion for that bailout which, by the way, was not a good deal for taxpayers.

Reason Magazine has a good analysis of the combination of loans, escrow funds and potential additional Dept. of Energy loans.

GM paid taxpayers back, right?

Will global warming bubble tank the future middle class?

Progressive presidents favor bubbles when it comes to the economy. President Bill Clinton did that with dot coms, and he turned affordable housing into one of the most powerful political weapons a president could wield.

By the time the housing bubble exploded, Clinton was long gone. Most had forgotten his passion-filled speeches aiming at a mortgage for every American. Even now many Americans don’t realize the housing bubble was built on the backs of the most vulnerable in society and the cost was passed on to taxpayers.

The next bubble progressives are shaping is based on global warming. Better to ask now than later: Will this bubble tank the future middle class?
