Prayer for our Nation (U.S.A)
God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to Your loving care.
Christie Brings Jersey Attitude to Race
He's plain-spoken and tough. If there is an opposite of spin, that is how he delivers his message. There is no sugar-coating, no nuance, no pretense to what he says. His though, no-nonsense persona is quintessential New Jersey all the way.
The Obama Administration Loses a Battle in Its War on Coal
The Obama Administration Loses a Battle in Its War on Coal In an effort to regulate coal plants out of existence in accordance with President Obama's war on coal, the EPA recently argued before the Supreme Court that they did not have to weigh the costs of new environmental regulations against the supposed benefits. In a ruling announced on Monday, the Court said no, instructing the EPA to conduct a cost/benefit analysis before implementing the rules. Some may consider this the Courts way of throwing conservatives a bone after two landmark decisions went against them, one dealing with the legality of Affordable Care Act subsidies, and the other legalizing same-sex marriage. Conservatives see both cases as the Court rewriting the law and using tortured language to make the law fit their desired outcome. The Obama administration and EPA may have lost a battle, but fully intends to win the war. This decision is in reality the SCOTUS telling the EPA what they need to do to win, in effect coaching them. The EPA will come up with wild predictions on cost savings, not unlike the supposed savings brought by Obamacare. Like those, these will be just as bogus and the Supreme Court will totally buy them.
News Brief
Does Justice Roberts realize that he just made the Court all but irrelevant as a means of upholding the Constitution? Apparently upholding legislation, even horribly written legislation, is more important.
Let’s have a discussion about “national discussions”.
The President has called for them, the press demands them, politicians propose them. We bloggers fancy that we engage in them, they're called 'national discussions', and the concept is so overused as to be almost meaningless.
Donald Trump Announces His Bid for Presidency.
You may not see Donald Trump as presidential material. If you don't seem him as being electable, you're not alone. Republican candidates may ignore him at their peril though, his populist brand of conservatism resonates with a large chunk of the electorate.
Exploiting the SC tragedy– already.
What conservatives are, (at least social conservatives) is Pro-Life. Who's life? Everyone's-- minus perhaps those Islamic extremist who would kill us and all not like them. I'm pretty sure no terrorists were attending that Baptist prayer group.
