It’s been four years since the creation of Obamacare, and only 1.4 percent of previously uninsured Americans now have healthcare. Breitbart reports: According to CNBC , of the 5 million people the Obama administration claims have enrolled in Obamacare, just 715,000 are previously uninsured Americans who have chosen and paid for new insurance. As the Washington Post notes, there are 48.6 million uninsured Americans. That means that after four years of being the law of the land, Obamacare–whose purported purpose was to cover the uninsured–has provided coverage for just 1.4% of uninsured Americans. Indeed, the vast majority of […]

Why Russell Crowe’s film “Noah” has touched my heart for all the WRONG reasons
March 31, 2014 by
My wife and I decided to catch the premier of Russell Crowe’s latest film “Noah” in Hong Kong last night. The movie was showing in 3-D and made its Asian premier on Mar 27 th a full day before its highly anticipated debut in America. The idea of having superstar actors Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins star in a film that tells one of the oldest stories of mankind definitely piqued my interest. I was interested to see how today’s modern technology could give a modern twist and share this beautiful story with a new generation of movie lovers. Five […]

Great New Movie — God’s Not Dead
March 29, 2014 by
There’s an old joke in Christian circles that goes like this: Someone had written in graffiti the famous quotation from a 19th century atheist philosopher: “God is dead. Signed, Nietzsche.” Underneath it, someone else wrote: “Nietzsche is dead. Signed, God.” There’s a new movie out called, God’s Not Dead. I hadn’t heard about it, except for […]

Harry Reid lies about his lies about Obamacare
March 29, 2014 by
I realize that’s not nearly specific enough, but there are only so many hours in the day. It’s quicker to just show you. Here’s what the pallid prevaricator said, one short month ago: That was a lie. So of course, now he’s claiming he never said it: “You’re a liar!” “No I’m not. Here’s […]
THE REAL NUMBERS
March 29, 2014 by
We are accustomed to be told by the present administration facts and data that turn out to be false. Unfortunately we, presently, have a media that for the most part repeat these assumed figures as gospel, without exercising their duty to investigate. Case in point, The Miami Herald’s report on healthcare signups written by Mr. […]

Obama Downplays Russian Threat
March 29, 2014 by
President Obama recognized the reality of Russian propaganda and disinformation, telling an audience in Belgium that “It is absurd to suggest—as a steady drumbeat of Russian voices do—that America is somehow conspiring with fascists inside of Ukraine or failing to respect the Russian people.” But he went on to spew his own propaganda, saying that […]
Is the U.S. State Dept. in cahoots with the New York Times AGAIN?
March 27, 2014 by
As already posted by the ever-vigilant princes keeping a view All Along the Watchtower here at Babalu Blog, the New York Times has gone on record: they find no more evidence of Cuban interference in Venezuelan affairs today than they found evidence of Communist sympathies in Cuba’s leaders in 1959.

ObamaCare: the mistake America could not afford
March 27, 2014 by
Journalistic icon Bob Woodward has been in hot water with the Obama Administration and its more enthusiastic apologists for a while now. He’s not going to get any more popular with that crowd after his appearance on “Fox News Sunday” last weekend , in which he related a conversation with a doctor he described as a “very knowledgeable, very involved supporter of ObamaCare” who nevertheless described it as similar to “a car stuck in first gear.” When Woodward asked this ObamaCare-supporting doctor when he thought second gear might kick in, the response was, “Honestly, years!” because, to continue the […]
Persecution of American Christians
March 27, 2014 by
Whenever the idea of Christian persecution in America comes up in a conversation with a liberal, their first reaction is often a sarcastic snort and a condescending eye roll. “Persecution? Of a group of people who are in the majority and vocally active in everyday life? That’s dumb.” This is a red herring. It’s true […]
