Medicare Billing Rises at Hospitals With Electronic Records.....
But, in reality, the move to electronic health records may be contributing to billions of dollars in higher costs for Medicare, private insurers and patients by making it easier for hospitals and physicians to bill more for their services, whether or not they provide additional care.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry Mocks Obama Campaign’s For All Pledge With Funny Picture....
If you are on Twitter or read the news, chances are you have seen some of the pictures of celebrities, Obama campaign staffers and other supporters of President Barack Obama posing in some fashion with a pro-Obama message written on their hands as part of the Obama campaign’s #ForAll pledge.
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina had one of the more memorable pictures, which was advertised by several conservative sites as “creepy.”
Raymond Dalio Warns of Social Unrest in the EU....
Not so far fetched......as George Santavana said: "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"....
I'd say we haven't learned a thing.....“For example, Hitler came to power in 1933, which was the depth of the Great Depression, because of the social tension between the factions. So I think it very much is dependent on how the people work this through together and worry about the social elements,” he added.

Mark Levin: U.S. Probably At Point Of No Return If Obama Wins.....
Mark Levin: In my mind, it's probably yes. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to fight the rest of my life. I’m not going to curl up in a fetal position and leave my family exposed to this. But it’s going to make the battle a 1000 times more difficult. We have a man as president of the United States that does not feel constrained by the Constitution, has nothing but contempt for it.
Corn On Romney Video Timing: Wanted To Figure Out "How We Can Use It".....
"He started digging, made contact with the source and without knowing what the source had, he then put me in touch with him. And then -- you've done this, Howie, I spent you know, two weeks or so going back and forth with him. 'What do you have? How can we use it?' And finally convincing him, let me see the whole tape and giving me access to it.
Letterman Stunner.....
Once again...Ben nails it......
Mr. Obama answered, as if the question were not insane, "About one eighty."
"Looks good on you," said Dave. "You carry it well."
The first question should have been, "Mister President, what on earth are you doing here? The Middle East is on the brink of war. Iran, the most dangerous nation on earth, is about to get a nuclear bomb. Why did you blow off talks to save the world from an Islamic bomb and the Mideast from war to appear on a comedy talk show?"
Of course, that was never asked.

Actress Jessica Alba asks voters to pledge allegiance to Obama.....
I pledge my allegiance to one idea...one country....the United States of America....NOT Obama...NOT any President.
“Growing up, my classmates and I started every day with a ritual: We’d stand up, put our right hand over our hearts, and say the Pledge of Allegiance,” explains Alba. “To me, that gesture was a promise. A promise to be involved and engaged in this country’s future. A promise to work for liberty and justice — and for affordable education, health care, and equality — for all.”

Guilty as Sin, Free as a Bird?
That the AG didn't know about this far reaching program before February 2011 is only believable if one concedes Holder is a bumbling novice unfamiliar with the rule of law. Holder is no rookie. He's been breaking the rules for a long time as chronicled by many writers here at American Thinker. See here.
In addition, congressional testimony by various ATF and DOJ officials over the last year and a half, including Holder himself, contradict the IG's report. See here.

New Jobless Claims Report Shows Businesses Aren’t Hiring.....
Employers added a paltry 96,000 jobs last month, 9,000 of which were striking utilities workers returning to work, below the 141,000 in July and much lower than the average 226,000 added in the first three months of the year. Recent job gains are barely enough to keep up with the growth of the working age population and aren’t enough to rapidly drive down unemployment.
Texas Man Bud Johnson Hangs Chair Representing Obama ......
Perhaps more of us should do this.......simple way to make a point.....no name calling...just chair displaying.....
A Texas man hung an empty chair from a tree in his front yard in a display he said was meant to represent President Barack Obama.

More Americans Than Forecast Filed Jobless Claims .....
“The problems are more on the hiring side than the layoffs side,” said Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody’s Analytics Inc. in West Chester, Pennsylvania, who projected a rise to 385,000 claims. “If they panic and start cutting workers, that would raise an immediate red flag because layoffs would be a recipe for another recession.”
Here Are The Best Tweets About The Missing Two Minutes of The Secret Romney Video....
Yesterday, TheBlaze uncovered that there was a large gap in the supposedly “complete” video of Mitt Romney’s illegally taped fundraiser. David Corn, the Washington bureau chief of Mother Jones, was forced to admit that the video was a missing “one or two minutes.”
Antarctic Sea Ice Sets Another Record .....
Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year). Please, nobody tell the mainstream media or they might have to retract some stories and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.
Kountze Independent School District Bans Christian Football Signs .....
These malignant beings are attacking every institution they can under a friendly Administration and the fact the economy is so bad...most of these institutions do not have the funds nor wherewithal to fight back.
They are eradicating "Divine Providence" from our Nation's being....
I'd say it's LONG past time to fight back....and I am NOT religious. I just KNOW when right is right.
Just months before the annual War on Christmas is slated to kick-off, atheist activists are tackling yet another target — football. TheBlaze has covered a number of stories involving non-believers and their campaign to eradicate any semblance of religion from public high school and college teams. In the latest example, Kountze Independent School District has officially banned run-through banners that contain religious messages — an act that has set off a firestorm of controversy.

Quayle: Holder 'lied to my face' during House testimony....
This group does know how to spike the football!
“I saw earlier that Holder is basically doing a victory dance and that he thinks this [inspector general] report exonerates him and there was no dishonesty with Congress — that’s just a blatant lie,” Quayle said in a phone interview. “I mean, he lied to me — to my face — during questioning, saying they had reviewed the wiretap applications after the fact and claiming that there was no reference to gunwalking, which is blatantly false.”

Wildly out of touch media complain Romney not regular guy .....
At a private gathering, Romney told donors that Obama had a lock on the 47 percent of voters “who pay no income tax” and “believe the government has a responsibility to care for them.” This was deeply offensive to people who pay no income tax and believe the government has a responsibility to care for them.
But no matter how much the media belch out the usual cliches — out of touch, insensitive, racist, not one of us, Thurston Howell, etc. etc. — all most people heard was: FORTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF AMERICANS PAY NO INCOME TAX?

Andrea Mitchell Explains MSNBC & NBC Hasn‘t Verified Obama’s 1998 ‘Redistribution’ Speech — So they Won’t Play it ....
Final Thought: Who knows? Maybe Mitchell and MSNBC are waiting on the full, uncut audio of the Loyola conference to ensure nothing has been left out or selectively edited.
It’s a good thing that sort of attention to detail and even-handedness kept the networks from airing snippets of Mother Jones’ footage of that Romney fundraiser without any caveats. Oh, wait — never mind.

U.S. officials clarify administration description of two heroes in Libya attack....
So...where WAS his security detail?
The two former Navy SEALs killed in last week's attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi were not part of Ambassador Chris Stevens' official security detail but took up arms in an effort to protect the facility when it was overrun by insurgents, U.S. officials tell the Washington Guardian.

Tax penalty to hit nearly 6 million uninsured people....
This is only the tip of the iceberg.....and we are the Titanic!
Congressional budget analysts are now estimating that nearly 6 million Americans - most of them in the middle class - will have to pay a tax penalty for not getting health insurance once President Barack Obama's health care law is fully in place.
That's 2 million more than a previous estimate found, or a 50 percent increase. The average penalty will be nearly $1,200.

Reporters haven’t asked about Sebelius breaking law.....
Just imagine the howling if it where the Bush Administration....
Reporters covering the White House don’t seem to have many questions about Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who was last week found in violation of federal law against engaging in political activity while on the job.

Number of able-bodied adults on food stamps doubled after Obama suspended work requirement ......
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Each week in our little local paper...the police notes have at least one 18-ish year old arrested for whatever.
In his belongings is HIS or HER EBT ( Welfare ) card......what the heck?????
I hear Atlas Shrugging!
Obama administration officials have insisted that their decision to grant states waivers to redefine work requirements for welfare recipients would not “gut” the landmark 1996 welfare reform law. But a new report from the Congressional Research Service obtained by the Washington Examiner suggests that the administration’s suspension of a separate welfare work requirement has already helped explode the number of able-bodied Americans on food stamps.

Texas mom sues police after arrest for allowing kids to play outside.....
Have we gone insane as a nation????
Police arrested a Texas mom for allowing her children to play outside last week, after a neighbor reported to police that the kids were riding scooters around a cul de sac.
Tammy Cooper, who was arrested for child endangerment, insists she was watching her children from a lawn chair in her front yard.
Now, Cooper is suing the La Porte Police Department, the arresting officer and the neighbor who made the call.

Alpha Natural Resources Announces it Will Close Eight Mines and Layoff 1K Workers .....
More recovery at work......
Crutchfield called it “a difficult day,” but said the shutdowns and layoffs are a necessary part of ensuring Alpha survives in what has become a difficult U.S. market, where coal companies face a dual challenge: a shift towards natural gas and “a regulatory environment that’s aggressively aimed at constraining the use of coal.”

Mitt Romney’s Remarks are Another Chick-Fil-A Moment .....
What Mitt Romney said was true.
It wasn't meant as stump speak spoken in front of the microphones.
It was done in private....for a fund raiser. Anyone here can imagine what Obama is saying about we "Tea Partiers" etc.....my hair catches fire at the thought.
Mitt wasn't discussing the means tested folks who are desperate and are reaching out for help during this gawd awful economic "recovery"...yes, I wrote that with a straight face.
He was talking about the abusers...and we ALL know there are alot of them.
I believe Mass. may be the epicenter.
I bet most of us at one time or another have reached out for government help. I know I have and thank heavens it was there.
But I used what I needed to take the next step and then left it behind. That is what it is there for.
Don't blame Mitt for speaking the truth...
Blame Obama for destroying our economic future....
That off the cuff, off the record talk was what they needed to hear. Mitt Romney recognizes we have a problem with government dependency, as do a majority of Americans. But more importantly, Mitt Romney will improve the lives of that 47% by growing the private sector, not redistributing pieces of the economic pie.

Michelle Obama's school lunch rhetoric collides with reality.....
I am all for healthy eating. However...I also have a friend who cooks for the School Dept.
She said she has never seen so much waste in her life.
Between the entitled kids on free lunch tossing what they don't want and kids just not touching what is being offered....money is going down the drain.
Hey...Michelle Antoinette Obama.....more "Let them eat cake"?!
The nationwide experience is mirroring what happened years ago in Berkeley, when world-famous restaurateur Alice Waters gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Berkeley schools in order to offer healthy, organic fare to school children, only to see it go uneaten. It seems that progressives never learn.

The Food Stamp Recovery: The Unprecedented Increase in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program 2008-12.......
The increase in participation in 2008 was caused by a combination of widened benefit eligibility, the recession, and a concerted effort to expand access to benefits. The 2008 Farm Bill changed the name of the program from the Food Stamp Program to SNAP, in an effort to reduce the social stigma associated with receiving benefits. As of October 1, 2008, the minimum benefit and standard deduction for households were increased. The cap for child care expenses was also eliminated. There were also changes aimed at combating fraud, including disqualification of people who sold benefits or food obtained with SNAP benefits for cash, and the bill allowed the USDA more flexibility in setting consequences including fines and disqualification periods for retailers who engaged in food stamp fraud.[4]
Feds ignore rules and use stimulus cash to buy Chinese solar panels....
OK...we pick "winners" and lend and endless stream of money to American solar panel/Green energy companies that collapse...
Then we blame the Chinese for un-fair labor practices causing this collapse..... ( had nothing to do with bad judgement...!?)...
And then break federal law to purchase solar panels with MORE stimulus money from the SAME people we blame for killing American businesses......
I have a headache.....
Government officials blame unfair competition from China for the collapse of solar panel manufacturer Solyndra, but such concerns didn’t stop the federal government from breaking stimulus program rules to use Chinese solar panels atop a federal building housing the offices of a senator, congressman and several agencies.

Abdullah Ismail succumbed at Mayo Hospital in Lahore a day after attending the fierce protest at the city’s Mall Road, where an estimated 10,000 people rallied.
Witnesses said Ismail had complained of feeling ill after breathing fumes from burning flags, Pakistan’s Express Tribune reported.

MSNBC Small Business Panelist: ‘Insane’ To Think You Built It ‘All By Yourself’ ......
OK...My head just exploded......
Here are my thoughts about that...
Perry called the notion that businesses are built by individual initiative “a myth,” noting a broad liberal talking point about how one’s success is “supplemented” by “taxpayers who pay for schools, roads, laws and institutions that make business possible.” Perry went on to say entrepreneurs who get upset with the government just “may not understand” how important the government is for their success.
Here are my thoughts about that...
Elizabeth Warren by the numbers……
1.) "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.
Nobody…
You built a factory out there - good for you.
But I want to be clear.
You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.
Really? Last time I checked we – company owners large & small - paid road excise taxes…state taxes…city taxes, gas taxes….etc… that are supposed to fund this construction….. We also pay freight costs for all goods coming and going on those same roads…..taken care of by our – all of our tax money.
(Except, of course for the approx. 49% who have no skin in the game but take/get the most….)
2.) You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate.
Really? We pay property taxes….sometimes on both our homes and business locations. These are “supposed” to be utilized to educate our children…thus… our future “employees”.
Nobody out there paid for our college educations used to perhaps create this idea and/or business we now fight to keep alive……
3.) You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.
Once again, those pesky property taxes…state taxes…never mind fees etc. we all pay…
Sometimes our own security in addition to our civic responsibilities……
And….again sometimes twice because of a business location.
4.) You didn't have to worry that marauding bands (Huh?!) would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did.
What in the name of GOD – ( yes, I have no problem including the word GOD in my platform ) …are you talking about?
We pay State, Federal, Corporate, Payroll Sales taxes…fees…permits…..yada yada each DAY, week – month, year that is supposed to fund all of this….
5.) Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God Bless! Keep a Big Hunk of it. (Why thanks….) But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
The “next kid” coming along can take the same risk….lose the same money, sign onto the same financial risks, work the same insane hours, lose countless hours of sleep with worry that the rest of us all did to CREATE our businesses…
To PROVIDE jobs for our employees and help pay taxes to the government that couldn’t survive a DAY without all of us because it doesn’t have a vehicle for generating ANY money of it’s own…
NONE without “We the People”……
So,YES, we DID build this…..
We will decide who we pass what meager profits along to…
.WE WILL DECIDE!
Elizabeth recently said this at the DNC Convention….
6.) "Corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters, because we don't run this country for corporations, we run it for people."
Really….we may only be a small “Corporation”…but the last time I checked it was populated by caring, loving PEOPLE.
PEOPLE with family’s…with children, with all the normal worries we all have each day in this GAWD AWFUL economy.
The last time I checked…. I am “people” too…….I just happen to own a Corporation. Most of us out here are small….10 +- people Corporations…..
We live, we have hearts that break, we laugh, we dance, we get sick, we die…..just like you…..
But how would she ever know this? You would have to actually start a corporation to understand and possibly earn the right to pontificate and lecture the rest of us… Maybe then we’d listen to you…..
Nah……………
And finally… We do NOT live in a vacuum.
We don’t create a business and miraculously shed all the other normal civic and financial responsibilities everyone has……
They forget that even though we may own a business…we’re also card carrying members of “WE THE PEOPLE”….and we VOTE!

A college professor at Brevard Community College (BCC) in Cocoa, Fla. has been placed on leave after she allegedly required her class to sign a pledge to vote for President Barack Obama “and Democrats up and down the ticket.
What Obama Thinks of Americans.....
I must agree about this after seeing what I found to be a very measured examination of Obama's view of the world - Obama 2016.
I never felt as though this President really liked America...and by proxy American's very much.....
This article and the TRUTH that's out there proves my point.
The truth comes out Washington-style: as "gaffes."
There is a stream of insults that has flown forth over the past few years -- and have been all but smothered by the media. That is an anomaly, of course -- because if there has ever been a "man bites dog" story that should compel media coverage, it would be a politician -- let alone a president -- who, instead of delivering paeans to the people, rebukes them repeatedly.

Palestine has no interest in establishing peace....Romney
2nd time today HE IS RIGHT! TELLING THE TRUTH!
"I'm torn by two perspectives in this regard," Romney said at a $50,000-per-plate fundraising dinner on May 17. "One is the one which I've had for some time, which is that the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace, and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish."

In unusual move, top Chinese general tells troops to ready for combat with Japan.....
Me thinks this is to deflect attention away from their collapsing economy.....
China’s most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.

State Department Considering Talks to Transfer Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman to Egypt, Source Says.....
The Blind Sheikh is currently serving a life sentence in American prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but the newly-elected Islamist government in Egypt has been actively petitioning his release. Many have pinpointed a cause of last week‘s unrest in in the country to be protests over the Blind Sheikh’s release — not an anti-Muslim YouTube video.
Citing the handling of the current crisis in the Middle East, and the administration’s explanation that an anti-Islamic video is to blame, Beck warned that the administration may be trying to initiate a “Bubba effect.”
“If this is true…I believe this administration is trying to initiate a ‘Bubba effect,’” he explained. “That is, the average person turning against the government, collectively…because no one trusts them.”

Bigoted Anti-Islam filmmaker's name revealed: Bill Maher......
John Nolte notes that, in the eyes of Obama and his team, "some anti-Islamic filmmakers are more equal than others." Apparently, in the eyes of his subservient media, some Jews are also more equal than others.
Students strike against new federal school lunch rules.....
He grabbed a bagel and a Gatorade afterward; if he eats before lifting, he gets sick.
That was followed by eight periods in the classroom, and then three hours of football practice. By the time he headed home, he had burned upward of 3,000 calories - his coach thinks the number is even higher.
But the calorie cap for his school lunch? 850 calories.
"A lot of us are starting to get hungry even before the practice begins," Blohm said. "Our metabolisms are all sped up."

Twitter hands over protester's private data ....
I know the world has tipped upside-down when I agree with the ACLU.....
An ACLU spokesman told The Huffington Post UK last week: "It is becoming increasingly clear that law enforcement around the U.S. is aggressively issuing subpoenas and obtaining court orders to obtain information about people’s internet activities and communications. We don’t know exactly how often, because the vast majority of these requests are never made public, and many are kept secret by court order. But we do know that it is occurring a lot."

8,786,049: Yet Another Record for Americans Collecting Disability....
Mitt Romney is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
We need a safety net...I bet almost all of us at some time or other have had to lean on it. But that is the key word..."lean on it" as a safety net.
Not a life style....not with a sense of entitlement.
He wasn't talking Elderly. They've earned ( by government formulas and payments ) what they receive....
However there are ALOT of people who don't. All that "Free Money" they keep discussing is OUR TAX DOLLARS......

This isn't a "Gaffe" unless you live in the Willy Wonka World of President Obama..it's the TRUTH.
Something this Administration wouldn't know if it bit them in the posterior.
Atlas is shrugging and we'd all better get skin in this game!
The Social Security Administration has released new data revealing that 8,786,049 American workers are collecting federal disability insurance payments in September. That sets yet another record for the number of Americans on disability.
We need a safety net...I bet almost all of us at some time or other have had to lean on it. But that is the key word..."lean on it" as a safety net.
Not a life style....not with a sense of entitlement.
He wasn't talking Elderly. They've earned ( by government formulas and payments ) what they receive....

Hillary Cheered Broadway's Book of Mormon, Condemns Innocence of Muslims.....
Nice juxtaposition....
Although some likely found The Book of Mormon as "offensive and reprehensible and disgusting" as White House spokesman Jay Carney found Innocence of Muslims, the Obama administration chose not to denounce it. Nor could I find any protest from Carney when his former employer, TIME Magazine, praised The Book of Mormon as "bright and enjoyable, and good enough to make even a grumpy critic's 10 Best list."

For Every $1 Added to the Economy, Obama Added More Than $3 in Debt - Government Spending........

Republicans criticize four-gallon EPA gas purchase mandate.....
I'd of been screwed when I was a teenager! Hell, I bought one or two gallons all the time!
“The EPA has no business telling Americans how much fuel they must purchase,” the letter from Republican committee members Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin and Chip Cravaack of Minnesota.
“Furthermore, EPA’s first-ever fuel purchase requirement appears to have been made outside the normal rulemaking process, seems antithetical to free markets, and highlights the flaws in the agency’s hasty decision to grant partial waivers for E15 prior to comprehensive scientific evaluation and assessment,” the congressmen continue.

U.S. Treasury Turns Down GM’s Offer to Buy Back Shares .....
Truth hurts when it sees the light of day.....
General Motors Co. executives want the Treasury Department to sell its almost 27 percent stake in the company because, they say, the feds are hurting their image and government pay restrictions are chasing away top talent.
But Treasury officials aren’t interested in selling because it would mean posting a multibillion dollar loss during an election year, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Speaking American as a second language ......
Do you recall what prompted Fleischer to make this comment? He was not talking about “comedian” Bill Maher’s disgusting assertion that it was wrong to call the 9/11 hijackers cowards, because they were gutsy enough to get on airplanes with box cutters and die in their assault on America, whereas our political and military establishment was cravenly lobbing cruise missiles at its enemies. That was brought up later in the interview with Fleischer, and he said that if press reports of Maher’s comments were accurate, it was “a terrible thing to say.”
American prison labor means longer unemployment lines......
And higher cost of goods.......typical government intervention.....
American Apparel, the Selma, Ala., based military clothing manufacturer closed one of its plants and continues to downsize others due to the loss of some of its contracts to FPI. According retired Air Force colonel and spokesman Kurt Wilson, the company laid off 255 employees and cut the hours of 190 employees this year alone. So private workers end up losing their jobs to prisoners.

Obama's Disdain for Democracy and Free Expression.....
Ironically, one of the most brazen examples of the President's propensity to ignore the wishes of the electorate occurred just recently at the Democratic National Convention. I refer, of course, to the infamous floor vote that resulted in the reinsertion of the words "God" and "Jerusalem" in the Democratic-party platform.
Judge Strikes Down Scott Walker’s Collective Bargaining Law.....
I tire so much of activist judges going against the voter....VOTER......the strongest power of them all.....if only we would stand together....
A Wisconsin judge has struck down nearly all of the state law championed by Gov. Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers.

Constitution Day 2012 ......
Get a copy....take ten minutes, and read the mightiest document ever handed down by man and god....
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." --preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America

End Times......
As always, Ben finds a way to write what all of us are feeling......there is a chill in the air...and even the sun is breaking through it....
I awakened to a text from a close friend who is a devout Christian and who was so angry at the elite media that she could not sleep. "I am so frikkin' sick of the media telling us that Islam is a 'religion of peace,'" she said. "Look, people make fun of Jesus all of the time and I mean ALL of the time and we don't kill them or harm them. But do anything at all that offends any Muslim and they start killing Christians and Jews -- and then Obama apologizes for it. How long can this go on? The times of Tribulation are at hand."

Ryan Criticizes Obama on Foreign Policy...
But Mr. Romney’s blunt criticisms of the current administration went over well with this crowd. As Mr. Ryan was introduced, Bill Bennett, the conservative commentator and radio host, read Mr. Romney’s much discussed statement in full, earning a standing ovation. “The press jumped on to kill this truth in the womb, something it is well-practiced at,” Mr. Bennett said of Mr. Romney’s words.
