who did she vote for? #910

Meet Danielle Shea.

Why is Dani in the news?

A drop-out from Quinnipiac University called in bomb threats to the school to try to cancel a graduation ceremony her family expected her to participate in.

According to NBC Connecticut, Danielle Shea, 22, dropped out of school but still collected tuition money from her family. They were at the school to see Shea, who had even bought her cap and gown, graduate.

Shea’s family didn’t see her name on the list of graduates, and she panicked, according to a police news release.

That’s when she called in the first bomb threat to Quinnipiac University Public Safety, saying there was a “bomb in the library,” according to police.

I bet ole Danny here has lots of opinions on politics. So who did she vote for in the last presidential election?

Obama learns about a lot of his scandals from the news

voting present

"Redvilles" v "Progress" Cities

Since the inception of this blog, I have preached the word about the quality of life in our "Red" (conservative) areas v the quality of life in our "Blue" (progressive) areas.

Below is a map of the 2012 election results by county.

As you know, Obama won handily against Romney. Yet, when you look electoral map by county, you can see that most of the country is red except for our large urban areas.

I've been at this blog for 8 years now. And in all this time, not one liberal has been able to refute this assertion on my part. In every single quality of life measure (unemployment, crime, schools, cost of government, etc.), the red areas are better. Really, it's not even close.

There's one quality of life measure that I have failed to consider, income inequality.

Guess what, the red areas reign supreme on that one as well........................

There’s just one problem: the districts where Democrats have the best shot to win Republican-held seats show some of the smallest gaps between rich and poor in the U.S., an indication of just how hard it will be for their message to take hold with voters.

Of the 100 congressional districts ranked as having the greatest gap between rich and poor, not one is held by a Republican whose seat is considered up for grabs this November, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Again, how does a liberal with any conscience see the evidence right in front of them and believe that liberal policies work?

I guess it's the same blind faith that has them believe in the global warming/climate change/chaos.

Maybe if these "progressives" understood this concept, they would understand why conservatives are fighting so hard to keep their safe, clean and productive enclaves from turning into Detroit.

What a genius

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a response to the liberals demands for an increased minimum wage.

So, for a people who like to portray themselves as Mensa members when they compare themselves to conservatives, they seem to lack an understanding of the law of supple and demand.

So let's do a refresher for all these "progressive" liberal arts majors.

See when the price of something goes up, demand for the product goes down. So when artificially increase the price of labor, employers will seek alternatives to the price increase.

But hey, I must be a honking Nostradamus, for seeing into the future and what?

 

…job prospects in Europe for those so inclined to work in the fast food industry are looking pretty grim right about now. That’s because the fast food giant is poised to add touchscreen kiosks in more than 7,000 of its restaurants in Europe in effort to replace actual, human cashiers.

Who would have thunk it?

In typical "progressive" fashion, the response to this video isn't to simply fix the potholes, but to use city resources to arrest the dissenter and still not fix the potholes.

Tommy Vietor on Benghazi: 'Dude...That Was Two Years Ago'

What does it say about an administration who allows this "dude" to be in the situation room for anything more than cleaning it?

Why it matters

The typical media response the Benghazi scandal is to yawn and proclaim it as a republican attempt to sabotage Obama.

In reality, it matters. Why? Let's boil off the fat and get to the meat.

It matters because a UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR WAS FUCKING ASSASSINATED!!!!!!!

Frankly, I'm ashamed that the media and democrats have just let Craig Stevens become diplomatic chum for the Obama administration. He was one of their own and they have left his death become the price politics........ like a ream of copy paper.

This has happened only six times in US history. To date, no one has been brought to justice outside of some ding dong in LA who produced a video that had nothing to do with the planned attack on our consulate.

No one has asked the president "When one of your employees was being attacked, where were you, what information was being relayed on the attack, why didn't you even attempt a rescue if for no more reason than to secure the area?"

It's disgusting that only one reporter (Sharyl Attkison) outside of Fox News has even given the time of day to this story.

This story is an indictment of the entire media complex. Do you think they'll attempt to make amends by hitting these guys hard?

I won't hold my breath.

minimum wage idiocy

Over the weekend, the Gekko's hit downtown Cincinnati to celebrate my birthday.

Now if you're not familiar with the politics of Cincinnati, PG Sittenfeld, a councilman, is working to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 for businesses within the city.

I thought about that as we walked to the city owned Fountain Square garage and used the automated payment system to pay for our parking.

Do idiots like PG ever wonder what happened to those people who used to get paid to take your money when exiting the garage? I guess they just magically disappeared.

Not exactly. I'm just going to guess that it is a hell of lot cheaper to put a machine in to do the work that you're paying a low skilled worker to do the job. Of course, raising the price on those workers only makes it more likely their jobs will be filled by a machine at some point in time.

When I was a small kid, one of the local grocery stores actually had tags on the grocery carts. When your cart was filled with the groceries, the bagger would hand you the tag. He would take the cart outside and when you pulled up to the curb, he would load the groceries into your car.

What do you think happened to those jobs?

They went the way of pterodactyls and gas station attendants who actually pumped your gas and checked your oil.

It the same economic forces that cause you to not only bag your own groceries but you now get to scan them as well.

So go for it PG and the senate. It's much better to have zero 10.10 jobs than people actually working and getting on to the economic ladder so they can climb their way up.

How liberal policies kill liberals

Eric Holder wants to grant clemency to certain drug dealers.

Let me ask a question to you liberals. When these people get out of prison, will they go back to to the nice conservative enclaves out here in Redville where I reside or will they go back to "Progress" City when they can victimize their residents?

Dem Rep. on Obamacare: The Worst Is Yet to Come, ?It?s Going to Hit the ...

77 cents on the dollar

So let me make sure I have this right.

Those big, fat, awful corporations love profits so much, they're willing to pay workers less than a living wage so they can stuff their big, fat wallets with cash.

If you believe that, then why would there be any job market for men at all if those same big, fat, awful corporations can pay a woman 77% of what they would pay a man to do the same job?

Talk about adding to the bottom line.

Do these people understand supply/demand curves at all?

I've watched that show already

Years ago, while dating my fabulously liberal girlfriend, she turned on one of the Sunday morning news shows and was surprised that I wasn't interested in watching.

"As political as you are, I'm surprised you don't watch all of these."

I replied, "I've already seen them all."

"Uuh?"

"Yeah, this is the show where the moderator has a liberal and a milquetoast conservative answer questions about an issue, and the liberal gives the standard liberal talking point and the milquetoast conservative does the same."

If you never want to learn anything new, keep watching these shows and you'll end up dumber for having done so.

So should anyone be surprised that we now hear this...............

The Sunday morning shows once occupied a sacred space in American politics.

Today, many influential Washington players can’t even remember the last time they watched.

 

The public affairs shows — “Meet the Press,” “Face the Nation” and “This Week” — used to set the agenda for the nation’s capital with their news-making interviews and immensely influential audience. Now the buzz around the shows is more likely to center on gossipy criticism about the hosts, notably “Meet the Press’s” David Gregory, whose fate has become an incessant subject of conversation, most recently in a Washington Post story on Monday. Meanwhile, fans complain about the recurrence of familiar guests — Sen. John McCain again? — who simply relay party talking points that often go unchallenged.
