(UPI) Woops…Electric cars despite their alleged ‘Green Credentials’ are among the environmentally dirtiest transportation options a U.S. researcher says.
Writing in the IEEE Spectrum researcher Ozzie Zehner says electric cars lead to hidden environmental and health damages and are likely more harmful than gasoline cars and other transportation options.
Now what are the Loony Liberal Environmentalists going to do?
Hillary Clinton’s Poor House –Image: Erica@Twitter
(CNN) In an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer on Monday, Hillary Clinton claimed that in 2001 when she and Bill left the White House they were ‘not only dead broke but in debt’ noting that she can feel the pain of many Americans struggling to make ends meet.
Riiight…
Not according to The New York Times which reported in 2002 that Former President Bill Clinton received $9.2 Million in his first year out of office for delivering 59 speeches–in addition, Hillary Clinton earned $2.8 Million in 2001 as part of an $8 Million advance for her memoirs.
I wish that I was so hard up.
(Washington Free Beacon) Listen to Hillary Clinton in her own words:
“These five guys are not a threat to the United States. They are a threat to the safety and security of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Its up to these two countries to make the decision once and for all that these are threats to them. So I think we may be kind of missing the big picture here, we want to get an American home, whether they fell off the ship because they were drunk or they were pushed, or they jumped, we try to rescue everybody.”
The Daily Mail reported that in 2011 the Obama Administration argued in federal court that Khairulla Khairkhwa (4th pictured above) had been actively involved in senior Taliban leadership that killed Americans and was too dangerous to consider releasing.

In March, Sen Chuckie Schumer Failed 1st Grade Calendar Reading
(Washington Times) Sen Chuck Schumer stumbled over basic American history on Tuesday, crediting Thomas Jefferson for authorship of the ‘Bill of Rights’ during a debate over the 1st Amendment and campaign finance.
“I think if Thomas Jefferson were looking down, the author of the ‘Bill of Rights’ on whats being proposed here, he’d agree with it, he would agree that the First Amendment cannot be absolute,” said Schumer.
While Jefferson is deemed the principle author of the ‘Declaration of Independence’ he was not intimately involved in the writing of the ‘Constitution or the Bill of Rights’ and in-fact was serving as the Minister of France at the time of both the Constitutional Convention and the Congressional debate over the ‘Bill of Rights.’
Jefferson’s fellow Virginians’ James Madison and George Mason are usually credited are being more influential in the process–Mason for being among the most forceful in demanding the protections of such a ‘Bill of Rights’ and Madison, for being the political muscle that got them approved.
“Madison’s support of the ‘Bill of Rights’ was of critical significance,” the National Archives writes on its webpage: “One of the new representatives from Virginia to the First Federal Congress as established by the new Constitution, he worked tirelessly to persuade the Hose to enact the amendments.”
The National Archives goes on to recount Madison’s efforts to shepherd a package of 17 Amendments through the House in 1789 a number that was later trimmed to 12 in the Senate before being submitted to the States–Of those, 10 were ratified fairly quickly.
One would hope that a sitting U.S. Senator would familiarize himself with American History before attempting to change the Constitution for political purposes.
The new Constitutional Amendment that Schumer is pushing, would grant to federal lawmakers the power to control free speech or whatever they would deem is objectionable to them.

(Reuters) Despite California already having some of the strictest gun laws in the country, Democrat Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, will renew his push for even more gun control laws–though not knife control laws, subsequent to the tragic killing spree near Santa Barbara that left 6 dead, 3 which were stabbed to death by 22 yr old Loony Liberal Lefty misogynist Elliot Rodger Friday evening.
(LA Register) Sarah La Brada was terrified and confused after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 4 yrs ago–she decided to leave her position as an Army Specialist and move with her husband to live with family near Long Beach, then 7 months pregnant and out of a job.
La Brada turned to the VA Long Beach Healthcare System but learned the hospital only has one Neurologist on staff–wait times took up to a month. La Brada, exited the VA (single payer) health care system which is free, opting instead for private health care.
“I have a 21.5 month old and I want to see my little boy grow up,” said La Brada, I want to be able to play with him.”
American Heroes who use the Los Angeles & Long Beach VA Hospitals say the wait time to see their primary care physicians can be as long as 90 days, forcing some of them to line up their own health care outside the federal system.
Appointments with Specialists can take as long as 8 mos Veterans say.
Is this what Americans can expect from ObamaCare?
Yesterday I wrote here about Donald Douglass delayed treatment to remove a cancerous growth on his forehead at the Seattle VA in September 2011 which resulted in his death.
In November, Hoffman’s kidneys failed and he was rushed to the VA Emergency Dept, at that point his PSA score had skyrocketed to 700, doctors diagnosed him with prostate cancer but said that it had been caught too late and that he wan’t expected to live past June–his wife began looking at funeral/burial options.
As soon as this latest Obama scandal broke Democrats and many of the Liberal Lefty dinosaur media blamed Republicans for budget shortfalls as the reason for the delays in treatment at the Veterans Administration.
Sen Jay Rockefeller, D-West Virgina, argued that the main cause of the delay is money, “If the VA doesn’t have enough doctors to see these patients, then these problems are a result of a lack of funding.”
NBC News Jim Miklaszewski argued the same point on Sunday’s ‘Meet the Press’ saying, “You have a VA that is overwhelmed and under-resourced…There’s just not enough money right now in the federal government to fix it.”
“That may sound good and it would seem to make sense,” writes Investors Business Daily “but its far from true.”
The VA’s budget has been exploding even as the number of Veterans, steadily declines–from 2000 to 2013 outlays nearly tripled while the population of Veterans declined by 4.3 million.
When is Obama finally going to put on some big boy pants and begin accepting responsibility for his failures?
How much longer will the dinosaur media continue to run cover for Obama before they finally do their job and expose the malfeasance and lack of accountability of Obama and his administration?

Washington Redskins Should Consider Dropping “Washington” From Their Name Because Its Offensive???
(5News Online/CBS) With an historically low public approval rating of a mere 5% according to a new CBS News poll released on Wednesday, 50 Senate Democrats have signed a letter to the NFL according to The New York Times urging its leadership to pressure a private company to change its name because they claim its offensive.
Could it be that Senate Democrats are actually the ones who are really offensive to many Americans and vulnerable incumbent Democrats are just trying to divert attention away from themselves in an election year in which their thin majority is in jeopardy?

This is What Communism in the USSR, Cuba and Venezuela Looks Like

(Daily Caller) Just as many of us always suspected of the political Left…Democratic Rep Joe Garcia of Florida, during a Google hangout that he convened last week to discuss immigration claimed, “…we’ve proved that Communism works.”
On the 08 March, I wrote here that oil rich Venezuela with 302% inflation, food lines and government allocation of resources, most certainly isn’t evidence that central economic planning is successful.
Should Rep Garcia like Communism so well, why doesn’t he resign his $174,000 Congressional Seat and immigrate to some Marxist country so that he may share in his nirvana dream with the Peasants waiting in long food lines?
