Remember this scumbag? ------ City of Bell won't be able to touch some of Rizzo's wealth

Bell won't be able to touch some of Rizzo's wealth - latimes.com:
"When Robert Rizzo pleaded no contest to corruption charges last month, many of the trappings of his former life as Bell's highly paid city manager were gone: the house near the ocean in Huntington Beach, the horse farm outside Seattle, the stable of racehorses.
But Rizzo still has two lucrative streams of money from his days in local government that neither Bell nor prosecutors can touch: his 401(k)-style retirement account that once held more than $1 million and an annual pension of $116,628."

Sensors cover about a third of the city and are concentrated where gun crime is highest.
It allows police to respond immediately to the exact location where shots are fired and provides a dramatic picture of the danger faced in many neighborhoods."

Ebay, Amazon, google, Facebook....... not even close! -------Healthcare.gov most expensive website ever

Healthcare.gov most expensive website ever:
"American taxpayers have been frustrated by the failures of the Obamacare Healthcare.gov website – wrong responses, no responses, messages to just wait or come back later – but a headline in Digital Trends perhaps best captures the outrage over the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the unsuccessful project.

“We paid over $500 million for the Obamacare sites and all we got was this lousy 404 (error code),” it states.

Actually, an online blog explained that federal records reveal taxpayers “seem to have forked up more than $634 million of the federal purse to build the digital equivalent of a rock.”
Even at $250,000 per year, that would hire more than 2,500 primary care physicians to care for the sick and ailing all across America."

Obama's brown shirts......States prepare to crack down on Obamacare ‘navigators’

States prepare to crack down on Obamacare ‘navigators’
More than 120 federal grants have been handed out in nearly three dozen states for various “community” organizations to be paid to recruit Obamacare participants.
The grants amount to hundreds of millions of dollars.
The list of grant recipients, according to one organization monitoring the activity, “is a veritable ‘who’s who’ of the left-wing political machine.” 
It includes groups with ACORN-ties such as the Southern United Neighborhoods and the Structured Employment Economic Development Corp, or SEEDC.
SEEDC, according to the Goldwater Institute, “recently settled a $1.725 million lawsuit for fraud committed under another government program.”
“The American people have a right to be concerned about the agendas and integrity of these groups,” said Arizona state Rep. Paul Boyer of Phoenix, who is working on the issue.
“Once again we are seeing the federal government play favorites with public funds, and in this case under the guise of helping people smoothly transition to a marketplace that was supposed to simplify the process to begin with.”

Moron liberals create ANOTHER plan guaranteed to fail-------Forget the website crashes, the real issues with Obamacare have yet to emerge

Forget the website crashes, the real issues with Obamacare have yet to emerge [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller:
"Nirschl explained the consequences of including supplementary services on premiums using his auto insurance analogy:
“One hundred percent of folks are going to use the service. 
One hundred percent of people who want cars are going to get oil changes and lube jobs, so it doesn’t lower the premium.
It increases the premium, and at the same time it adds an enormous administrative cost…
We squander 35 percent in administrative costs by this form of insurance…
For maintenance services, oil changes and lube job, you want to pay out of your own pocket, and you want to basically have insurance for a car crash, for catastrophic things.
So we have destroyed true insurance.”"

Saving the Motor City - Ken Blackwell - Page 1:
"Unlike most art museums which are run by nonprofit corporations, these priceless pieces that any student of art would recognize are controlled by a museum outright owned by an incompetent city.
The best way to ensure the pieces are cared for is to sell them to people who will properly care for them.
While saying good bye to culturally significant items is drastic, Detroit’s crushing liabilities require drastic action."

Articles: The Silence of the Left:
"Whether this law will continue to pass judicial scrutiny remains to be seen, but what is obvious at this early date is that the press and the public figures who promoted it are lying low as the tsunami of voter rage builds.

If your only source of news is the major media, here are some facts they've kept from you:
1. Since July 2010 the Administration knew that at a minimum 40-67% of private health insurance owners would not be able to keep their insurance.
NBC's Lisa Myers broke the story, but both on air and in its published account NBC went to great lengths to bury her account of events that makes the president's repeated pre-election promise that if you liked your insurance you'd be able to keep it an outrageous bald-faced lie."

Do we want to increase the use of drugs in the USA? Will legalizing marijuana reduce drug use in the USA? Top 10 Facts About The U.S. Illegal Drug Market

Top 10 Facts About The U.S. Illegal Drug Market | Zero Hedge

formal and informal data paints a slightly less-fuzzy and, to some degree, larger picture of the market. Here’s the top 10 that we found, in no particular order:

1. Say what you want about the 1960s and 1970s, but the current decade has logged the heaviest drug use per person per year in the history of the United States. 23.9 million Americans aged 12 or older – 9.2% of the entire population – were “current users” (i.e. had used in the past month) of an illicit drug in 2012, the latest data available from the CDC shows. That’s up from 7.1% in 2001, and more than double the rate of 1969’s 4% (according to a 1969 Gallup poll). But the “peace and love” decades aren’t totally free of blame. The youngsters that seemed to have pioneered increasing drug usage in the 60s and 70s are apparently still at it today: 7.2% of those aged 50-54 reported illicit drug use within the past month, compared to 6.6% of those 55-59 and 3.6% of those 60-64. Each of these figures is more than double the respective rates recorded in 2002. Use of illicit drugs among those 12-17, meanwhile, is dropping, while usage in the “young adult” community of 18-25 has been rather stable at around 21.3%.

2. The most “Typical” drug user is apparently an 18-25 year old male living in the urban South, based on data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The South is the biggest drug consuming region in the country by sheer numbers with 7.5 million current users, according to the National Sur

Gov Targets Ammo Supply Lines: Prices to Rise Sharply As America’s Last Lead Supplier Calls It Quits

Gov Targets Ammo Supply Lines: Prices to Rise Sharply As America’s Last Lead Supplier Calls It Quits | The Daily Sheeple:
"Now, the only ore-to-lead producer in America… the largest in the Western world… has been shut down by EPA regulation.
EPA’s regulatory uncertainty and an estimated $100 million to convert [to non-smelter manufacturing] caused the company to finally throw in the towel.
It’s not just ammunition that’s dissapearing.
American industry… American jobs…. are being regulated out of existence as well.
Lead’s still going to be manufactured in China, but it’ll be done without any environmental oversight, it’ll be scarce, it’ll be expensive, and we’ll have fragile supply lines.

It’s part of a multi-pronged attack on ammunition.
-Drying up the market by hoarding billions of rounds
-Shutting down the market with background checks, registration, and banning of online sales
-Environmental regulation to ban the use and manufacture of lead
-And after we can no longer manufacture ammunition domestically we have the UN Arms Trade Treaty to stop the importation of ammunition."

Meet the American Nomads of Walmart's Plentiful Parking Lots

Meet the American Nomads of Walmart's Plentiful Parking Lots | Raw File | Wired.com:
"If you’ve ever tried to sleep in your car on a long trip without planning ahead, you may have run into the law at some point.
Each U.S. city has a different policy and tolerance for car-sleeping and it’s hard to find a legit spot if you don’t know where exactly you’ll be stopping.

What you can count on is one of Walmart’s over 3,000 stores being nearby.
The company’s policy of allowing overnight stays in their parking lots is intended to boost sales, but has the tangential effect of creating a subculture around its locations (though they’re still at the mercy of local laws)."

You gotta problem wit dat? --------------The 10 Commandments of Government

Doug Ross @ Journal: The 10 Commandments of Government:

The 10 Commandments of Government

Submitted for your review:

I Generally speaking, government always grows -- it never shrinks -- whether times are good or bad.

II In each area it purports to "assist", government attempts to replace individual decision-making with central planning.
III In order to implement its grand central plans and solidify its power, government must take from one citizen to give to another; this is, in effect, lawful theft.
IV No matter how many times central planning fails, the self-appointed masterminds in government assert that "this time is different" and that with only a few tweaks and more money, their delusional plans will succeed.
V Because it uses funds confiscated from taxpayers, self-restraint is no obstacle to government's ambitions.
VI Its fundamental misunderstanding of human nature notwithstanding, government must claim to grant "rights", which require it steal the labors of one citizen to give to another (such as food, shelter, employment, and health care).
VII No matter how widespread the harm it causes, government will never provide an honest and historical accounting -- a report card -- of its failures.
VIII As more individuals and families are harmed by the failures of central planning, government must find suitable scapegoats, must lie to do so, and therefore must also repress dissent.
IX In order to build its network of redistribution and grow a culture of dependency on its services, government must inevitably undermine the family unit, religion, and the notion of God-given rights in order to cow, bribe, or intimidate its citizens.
X As government grows ever more powerful, it must also become increasingly oppressive through compulsion and force. To do otherwise would mean government must shrink, and this it cannot do.
Any of these characteristics recognizable?

Cow Flatulence, Big Balls and Oreos – Those and Other Lame College Studies:
"Take the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which awarded the University of Wisconsin and Oklahoma University a whopping $19.5 million in early June to find streamlined ways to reduce the carbon footprint from beef and dairy production.

While cow flatulence – or methane gas from livestock – has long been accused as partly causing global warming, more recent studies have found bovine bowel movements and the like do not harm the environment.
The cow study is also based on the notion global warming is settled science.
The reality is its one of the most disputed topics in the nation, but bureaucrats don’t bat an eyelash on spending $19.5 million in taxpayer dollars on solving for an imaginary problem."
