U.S. Economic Confidence remains as anemic -16 for April matching the scores seen each month since January. WaPo Reporter: Benghazi Scandal May Actually Help Hillary Clinton in 2016
Monday, May 5th, 2014
(NewsBusters) Appearing on Monday’s ‘The Daily Rundown’ on MSNBC, Washington Post reporter Dan Balz touted Democratic spin that the ongoing Benghazi cover-up and scandal may actually help Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign:
“I talked to someone over the weekend, a Democrat, who said, you know this could actually be good for Clinton because the degree to which the right is after her helps her with the left…if shes under attack by the right, the Democrats across the spectrum will be more forgiving of her.”
Riiight…

Rialto School District 8th Grade Class Holocaust Research Assignment

(KTLA) The Rialto Unified School District plans to ‘revise’ a middle school class assignment that raised red flags (no doubt) asking students to consider arguments about whether the Nazi Holocaust was not an “actual event” but instead a propaganda tool that was used for political and monetary gain.
Following heavy opposition and death threats because of the school assignment, Southern California Public Radio 89.3 reported that Rialto School District Interim Supt Mohammad Z Islam (mislam@rialto.k12.ca.us) was set to discuss this matter with administrators today to “assure that any references to the Holocaust ‘not occurring’ will be stricken on any or current argumentative research assignments,” Rialto School district spokesperson Syeda Jafri read.
Rialto Unified School District just recently appointed Mohammad Z Islam as Interim Supt according to the Daily Bulletin following the retirement of Supt Harold Cebrun and the resignation school accountant of Judith Oakes who has been charged with embezzling $1.8 Million from the school district over 8 years.
Following Mohammad Z Islam’s appointment he said that his “mission is to change the status and condition of Rialto.”
Change he most certainly did–There is no word yet when the Holocaust denying radical Muslim Mohammad Islam, will tender his resignation or be terminated from Rialto School District–It can’t be too soon.

Italy’s March For Life –Image: Marcia per la Vita
(CNA) The 4th Annual ‘March For Life’ held in Rome today, drew tens of thousands of attendees from across Italy, Europe and the United States–the dinosaur media throughout the U.S. are silent.
“The beautiful thing about this march is that its always been international.” explained Joseph Meaney, Director of Coordination for the global pro-life organization Human Life International. The Italians have had a pro-life movement for years, decades but they’ve never really had a lot of marches and so they put this together with all different kinds of Italian groups, widening out to European and now even further,” Meaney added.
Elvira, a 17 yr old young woman from Poland traveled to Rome with a group of 50 young people, she wanted to show that “life is very important for everyone.”
Pope Francis touched on this theme to his greeting to the march participants saying, “Many congratulations and go forward and work on this,” noting that this years ‘March For Life’ had “an international and ecumenical character.”
Italian pro-life organizers found that going to the Washington, D.C. event was an “extraordinary occasion to meet pro-life people,” said Virginia Coda Nunziante, that march gave them an idea of “doing something similar in Italy.”
On Thursday 08 May and Saturday 10 May, EWTN reports that thousands will be descending upon Ottawa, Canada Parliament for the 17th National March For Life.

California Democrat Congressional Rep Barbara Lee Proposes a $26.00 Minimum Wage Hike
Saturday, May 3rd, 2014
California Congressional Rep Barbara Lee, are we still on-track for them 8.8 Million new jobs by 2017??? On Friday I wrote here that according to the Dept of Labor–Bureau of Labor Statistics, Obamanomics liberated 806,000 from the workforce in April.
(Daily Caller) Rep Barbara Lee has expressed support for a $26.00 minimum wage for California–Is that sufficient? If $26.00 is good why not $50.00 or maybe $100.00 an hour would even better?
In 2012 CATO Institute discussed the ‘Negative Effects of Minimum Wage Laws’ making an excellent point:
While the (minimum wage) aim is to help workers, decades of economic research show that minimum wages usually end up harming workers and the broader economy–If the government requires that certain workers be paid higher wages, then businesses make adjustments to pay for the added costs, such as reducing hiring, cutting employee work hours, reducing benefits, charging higher prices.
Some policymakers may believe that companies simply absorb the costs of minimum wage increases through reduced profits but thats rarely the case. Instead businesses rationally respond to such mandates by cutting employment and making other decision to maintain their net earnings. These behavioral responses usually offset the positive labor market results that policymakers are hoping for.

Obamanomics Liberates an Additional 806,000 From the Workforce in April
Friday, May 2nd, 2014
(NY Daily News) Its headline and teaser paragraph would seem to be good news:
U.S. unemployment plunges in April to (6.3%) lowest level since Sept 2008 as employers added 288,000 jobs, the most in two years.
If that was all the further a naive person would be interested in knowing, Friday’s employment data would otherwise be good news but what the NY Daily News didn’t report, would seem to be more important than what they did.
According to Market Watch some 806,000 people dropped out of the labor force and the U.S. labor force participation rate falls to 62.8% in April according to the Dept of Labor–Bureau of Labor Statistics, the lowest level in 35 years unseen since Jimmy Carter was president.
California Senate Dems Want to Disincentivize Wealth By Taxing Success, How Many More Companies Will Plan Their Exodus?
Thursday, May 1st, 2014
Socialism 101 –Image: Read My Mind
(WaPo) Last week, a California State Senate Committee not only discussed what they deem to be ‘economic inequality’ but by a vote of 5-2 it recommended to the full Senate, a bill that would raise taxes on companies which it determines, has a high disproportionate pay gap between corporate executives and employees.
Interestingly just this week Toyota Motor Sales & Toyota Financial Services announced they will be vacating its headquarters from Torrance, California to the State of Texas which offered the company some $40 Million in tax incentives together with 30 years in the ‘Lone Star State’ tax free–end result, the City of Torrance, will be left a gigantic hole from losses of tax receipts in their budget they will have to somehow fill and the State of California will be losing some 3,000 more good paying jobs in addition to tens of millions in tax revenue that is gone forever.
Liberal/Progressive ideology may buy votes in my beloved deep blue State of California but it most assuredly doesn’t create a positive business climate.
In February, SF Gate reported that a new study conducted by Bain & Co for the California Business Roundtable–representing large corporations in the state found just under 60% of California business leaders said they have policies in place to restrict growth in the state and move jobs to other states–ironically the State of Texas was cited as the most frequent destination.
Another group of business executives, said their policy is to avoid adding jobs in California at all, except when absolutely necessary–the Bain study concluded, the cost of doing business in California is 30% higher than in an average Western state, together with the complexity of California’s environmental, labor and other regulations, the threat of litigation and delays in obtaining permits hamper operations, all create an anti-business atmosphere and a disincentive to continue to do business in California.
California already with the highest personal income tax in the country with a top rate of 13% compared to 0% for the State of Texas and a regulatory structure that treats businesses especially manufacturers as enemy combatants writes Investors Business Daily California has seen more than 250 major companies exit the state since 2011 and these problems are only destined to get worse, should Liberal/Progressive Democrats in Sacramento have their way of disincentivize wealth by taxing success.
How many more wealth creators (employers) and job opportunities will flee California to make somewhere, anywhere else their Golden State?
