Washington, DC: The NAACP’s decision to bestow an Image Award on radical activist and former Obama Administration official Van Jones is drawing a stern rebuke from Mychal Massie, chairman of the Project 21 black leadership network.

“I understand that it’s their award and the NAACP can give it to whomever they want,” said Project 21′s Massie. “But an Image Award is supposed to be reserved for ‘outstanding achievement.’ Can they really justify Jones’ failed tenure in government and his continued wrong-headed views for such an honor? At this rate, I expect next year’s ceremony will honor Lil’ Wayne.” Read more

This is No Time to Expand the Government’s Role in Health Care, Says Think-Tank

Washington, D.C.: Chronically low Medicare reimbursement rates to physicians and hospitals are forcing doctors to limit the number of Medicare patients they see – or opt out of the program altogether – with devastating results to seniors’ health care options, says a new study, “Medicare Doctor Shortage Endangers Seniors’ Access to Care,” by Matt Patterson of the National Center for Public Policy Research.

From the Southwest to Florida, from the Midwest to New York, primary care doctors and specialists at both hospitals and private practices are turning away Medicare patients because they cannot afford to treat them, the study concludes. Read more

EPA’s Jackson: “The Science Regarding Climate Change Is Settled”

Like a 50s guy who refuses to give up penny loafers, white socks and his “ducktail” hairdo, Lisa Jackson, administrator of President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency, clings to the belief still that man is responsible for climate change. She told CNS News that just because there hasn’t been any warming in 15 years doesn’t mean there isn’t any warming. Sha na na na na na na, Sha na na na na na na! Bebop-a-lula she’s my baby!

Racketeering Lawsuit Filed Against Humane Society Of The United States

This tip was sent to me by a reader. Thank you!

Feld Entertainment and the Ringling Brothers circus are suing the Humane Society of the United States, its lawyers and other animal rights groups. Bribery, fraud, obstruction of justice, and money laundering are some of the charges being leveled against HSUS, its attorneys and other animal rights groups.

“America’s farmers, ranchers, hunters, fishermen, research scientists, fashion designers, and restaurateurs have seen for decades how the animal rights movement can behave like a mobbed-up racket,” said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. “But it’s still shocking to see the evidence laid out on paper. In a treble-damage lawsuit like this, a jury could actually do the humane thing and finally put HSUS out of business completely.”

Could it be HSUS will get some of what it deserves?

Those CPACer Nut Jobs

Did you listen to any of the speeches at the CPAC convention? What a bunch of radical, angry nut jobs, saying things like we have to stop spending money we don’t have and referring to the U.S. Constitution, like that’s anything we need in our lives right now. And of course Glenn Beck took the prize with his way over the top keynote address, making statements saying it wasn’t good enough anymore just to suck less than the other guys. I mean really. Where does he come off saying such far right things?

The Tea Party Movement Should Stand Alone

Photo from fOTOGLIF

It persists that politicians are clueless about the Tea Party Movement. The TPM is a grassroots effort to bring attention back to the American people that we have a Constitution, that our Federal Government has overstepped its bounds on Constitutional powers granted it by that Constitution and that spending is out of control. Nowhere in that movement is it defined as Democrat or Republican, black or white, male or female, Catholic or Protestant.

The TPM has become a powerful force. Why? Because it is of the people and by the people. Because of the TPM business as usual in the political sphere got upended. We saw that in Virginia and New Jersey. When Scott Brown got elected to the Senate seat in Massachusetts, that is when it become clear to me that Republicans didn’t know what the Tea Party Movement was about either. Read more

Obama Takes Another Hit

President Obama’s Cap-and-Trade Policy Takes Another Hit: BP, Caterpillar and ConocoPhillips Exit USCAP Global Warming Lobbying Group

Washington, D.C.: President Obama’s cap-and-trade policy took another hit with the announcement that oil companies BP and ConocoPhillips and heavy equipment maker Caterpillar are leaving the high-profile United States Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) lobbying organization.

USCAP played a key role in lobbying for the Obama-supported Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill approved by the House of Representatives last year.

“The companies that bolted USCAP realized the organization was really a front group serving only the interests of GE and utility companies and their environmental allies. This became obvious when the Waxman-Markey bill gave the vast majority of free carbon allowances to the utility industry while GE reaped the reward of its lobbying muscle by securing federal mandates for electricity generation in a way that benefits GE’s wind turbine business,” said Tom Borelli, PhD, director of the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project.
