Friday, July 4th, 2014Hillary Clinton’s Memoir “Hard Choices” Sales Keep Plummeting
Thursday, July 3rd, 2014
(Washington Free Beacon) Hillary Clinton’s recent memoir Hard Choices sold only 26,000 copies during its 3rd week on the market, down 46% from the previous week.
During its first week a mere 60,000 hard copies were sold (together with some 25,000 ebooks) the publisher had hoped to move 150,000 copies–less than a third of Sarah Palin’s first week book sales.
Obamanomics By the Numbers: June F/T Jobs Plunge 523K P/T Jobs Surge, Home Sales & Wages Decline While Consumer Prices Spike

June Full Time Jobs Plunges 523,000 While Part-Time Jobs Surge By Nearly 800,000 –Zero Hedge
(Bloomberg) Obama’s recovery is faltering–In June, the Mortgage Bankers Assn lowered their forecast for combined new and existing home sales in 2014 to 5.28 Million a decline of 4.1% while median prices of existing homes gained 11.5%
As prices climb, the ability of Americans with stagnant wages to buy homes wanes–the median U.S. Household Income rose less than 1% in 2013 according to data by Sentier Research from 2009 to 2013–In April, median income was $52,959 when adjusted for inflation its nearly 6% lower than in June, 2009 which marked the beginning of the (so called) economic recovery.
On the 18 June I wrote here that consumer prices spiked 0.4% in May after rising 0.3% in April the largest increase in 15 months.
With full time jobs plunging in June, falling household wages and a spike in consumer prices this year, how this Obamanomics working out for you?
Remember When Gov Jerry Brown Fought to Keep Vietnamese Refugees From Coming to California

Obama’s Immigration Policy –Cartoon: CalWatchdog
(Reuters) U.S. Immigration officials reportedly today suspended further plans for handling throngs of Central Americans caught entering the United States unlawfully, a day after protesters in Murrieta, California blocked busloads of some 140 undocumented immigrants being sent to a processing center.
While I have empathy for the undocumented children, there is no simple solutions to the catastrophe taking place on our southern border.
Liberals taking to Twitter posting comments about this crisis only serve to ramp up the fiery rhetoric without appearing to understand California residents concerns:
- Maura Tynan Giorgio from Brinckerhoff, N.Y and Jeff Strater from Dallas, Texas Tweeting: “Special place in hell for those protesting buses full of immigrant children arriving in California.”
- Nancy Bowen from Mount Laurel, NJ@Twitter: “Protestors against buses transporting immigrant children in California (who are not native Americans) should be ashamed of themselves.”
On the 19 June, a new study released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform found that providing education, healthcare, local social and government services to undocumented immigrants in California cost state taxpayers $25.3 Billion which represents an unsustainable fiscal burden to taxpayers.
Flashback: Remember in 1975 when Liberal Democrat Gov Jerry Brown fought to keep out South Vietnamese refugees from coming to California during his first time as Governor.
Why the double standard by Liberals today?

Hobby Lobby: What Obama Won’t Tell You and Liberals Don’t Want You To Know
Tuesday, July 1st, 2014
(Daily Caller) The Obama administration has quickly converted the U.S. Supreme Ct’s Hobby Lobby decision into a campaign issue, calling on Congress to continue providing abortion-related drugs to Women who work for Catholic employers.
The chances of such a measure ever becoming law zero–the cynical opportunity to raise campaign contributions and attempt to make this a wedge issue going into the midterms–priceless but so very predictable for liberals that can’t come up with any new or original campaign ideas.

Hobby Lobby, 1st Amendment -v- ObamaCare -Image: The Economist
(CNA) On Monday, in a 5-4 vote the Supreme Court said that closely held corporations can not be required to provide contraception coverage to their employees which they determine to be objectionable based on the religious beliefs–definitely is a victory for Christian principles and that all five of these votes came entirely by Men speaks volumes about the (so called) ‘War on Women’ which our country is currently embroiled.
Yesterday’s decision reminds us that Women’s health–and by this I mean more than merely contraceptive coverage–is not just a Woman’s issue. Yesterday’s decision affects both Women and Men because procreation necessarily involves Women and Men and because conscience protection is not gender specific nor is it a partisan issue.
The Truth Is: We gave up mutual responsibility for procreation long ago when we praised the birth-control pill for giving Women a ‘new found freedom’ and power over their fertility, when we wildly accepted, nay, promoted sex outside of marriage, when we made abortion about ‘a Women’s right to choose’ we surrendered something quite difficult to get back–shared responsibility for what our bodies are made to do when we have sex namely, to create life.
Even though it takes two to make a baby, we have given Men the ability to opt out of parental responsibility if they choose. The forms of contraception covered by ObamaCare, all depend necessarily on the Woman’s faithful use of these devices not the Man’s. Male condoms are not covered by ObamaCare also not covered are methods that both beget appreciation for the wonder that is the female reproductive system and require mutual responsibility like natural family planning or other fertility awareness methods…
