The 'Disparate Impact' Racket

King v. Burwell's Very Existence Says a Lot About Obamacare

David Limbaugh:
Is President Obama Really as Clueless as He Claims?
I don't know which is more maddening, President Obama's repeatedly claiming he finds out about important matters only after reading the newspapers, his expectation that we'll swallow that, the even scarier prospect that it could be true, or that the media continue to give him a pass on it.

Cal Thomas:
Selma Plus 50
I liked the movie "Selma," though it could have done without the rap song during credits that referenced "hands up, don't shoot," a slogan that emerged from the shooting of Michael Brown by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer whose actions the Justice Department recently determined did not "constitute prosecutable violations" of federal civil rights law.

Debra J. Saunders:
A Moderate Democrat Actually
Orinda, California, Mayor Steve Glazer says that he is running for a state Senate seat vacated by now-Rep. Mark DeSaulnier "as a pragmatic problem-solver rather than a partisan." In my line of work, I hear that sort of stock phrase all the time; I take it with a grain of salt.
Rachel Marsden:
Why the West is an Inviting Target for Jihadist Propaganda
PARIS -- One of the most alarming things about Islamic State terrorists is how effective they've become at creating propaganda -- slickly produced videos depicting violent acts against their captives, paired with various denunciations of Western foreign policy and related demands.
Bill Murchison:
What Happened to Obama's Moral Authority?
One vast, towering reason for Barack Obama's victory over John McCain in 2008 was the widespread expectation that an articulate and half-black chief executive would help the country overcome at long last its racial anxieties.
Brian Birdnow:
Life on the Mississippi? Tragedy, Politics, and Mass Media in St. Louis
Last week, as the winter wound down, politics and civic discourse in the nations heartland changed exponentially, in ways totally unrelated to the continuing events in Ferguson, Missouri. At approximately 9:48 AM, Central Standard Time, Tom Schweich, the Missouri State Auditor, and recently declared GOP gubernatorial candidate, committed suicide by a single pistol shot to the head.
Ed Feulner:
Standing with Israel
A world leader giving an address to Congress shouldnt be controversial. Especially when that leader is the prime minister of a major U.S. ally -- indeed, a bulwark of freedom in a deeply troubled region of the world.

Dave Says: Time to Get Intentional With Your Money

Daniel Pipes:
Why Politicians Pretend Islam Has No Role in Violence
Prominent non-Muslim political figures have embarrassed themselves by denying the self-evident connection of Islam to the Islamic State (ISIS) and to Islamist violence in Paris and Copenhagen, even claiming these are contrary to Islam.

Mike Shedlock:
Draghi's Goal: Higher inflation and Negative Yields
Before this madness ends we could easily see negative yields all the way out to 10 years or beyond. Somehow this madness is supposed to inspire confidence. I suggest it won't.

Matthew Thomas:
Mexican Drug Cartels are Feeding off of Washington's Ignorance
The Mexican cartels have graduated. They control everything from the manufacture, transport and sale of drugs, to theft and resale of crude oil and gold. They essentially have a choke hold on their nation, and they are deeply rooted in ours as well.
