Thursday, December 6th, 2012

(National Review–The Corner) President Obama’s bid now to control what children learn in school is surely one of the most important and disturbing of his many transformative plans–Not only is Obama’s attempt to devise what is in effect, a national K-12 school curriculum  is arguably unconstitutional and the fact, that many Americans have no idea that the new “Common Core” (A/K/A: ObamaCore) even exists, may be the most troubling thing about it.

Sunday’s (02 December) Washington Post featured an article on the controversy being kicked up by the new English curriculum that 46 states and the District of Columbia are just now waking up to.

Not coincidentally, this new education war is hitting a month subsequent to Obama’s reelection, just in time to prevent the public from taking the most effective step it could have to block the changes. One has to get nearly to the end of the WaPo article, even to get a hint of the fact that the Obama Administration is the real force behind the new curriculum.

Seniors Decry Christmas Tree Ban by the “JB Partners Group” Grinch

(LA Daily News) Residents at Newhall Senior Apartment Complex are protesting an Order from the JB Partners Group Grinch to remove their beloved Christmas Tree from their community room because its a religious symbol and politically incorrect.

Comments may be directed to the JB Partners Group Grinch, at 18375 Ventura Blvd, Suite # 611, Tarzana, CA 91356 or by email to: contact@jbproperty.net

California Taxes –Asian Conservatives

(Capitol Alert) Thanks to the passage of Prop 30 last month, job creators in California will pay the nations highest marginal income tax rate of 51.9% should President Obama and Congress fail to do the job(s) they were elected to do and avoid the fiscal cliff according to a new study.

Gerald Prante, an Economics Professor at Lynchburg College in Virgina together with Austin John a Lynchburg Economics student calculated marginal tax rates–the highest tax rates for all 50 states–they combined state and federal and where applicable local municipality  incomes taxes, plus other miscellaneous taxes such as payroll taxes for social security, medicare, etc.

Prop 30 added 3% to the marginal tax rate in California for the highest income taxpayers bringing it to 13.3%–the action raised California over other high taxed states to a marginal rate of 51.9% slightly higher than New York City’s level.

On the 15 November Prante and John’s report was published by the Social Science Research Network.

(TSA) Obama’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Chief John Pistole, has refused to attend a Congressional House Transportation hearing this week declaring that the Congressional Committee has “no jurisdiction over the TSA.”

Chaired by Rep Thomas Petri, (R-WI) the hearing with TSA Chief Pistole, was to examine the impact that regulations and policies of the TSA have on aviation passengers experience (the TSA doesn’t care) and the free flow of aviation commerce.

TSA Chief Pistole made it clear in his statement posted on its government funded website that neither Pistole nor any TSA official would attend the Congressional hearing.

Its time that Congress defund this reckless and mismanaged agency which above all its other problems, now seems to believe that they are above the law and  beyond Congressional oversight authority.
