More outta Jersey

There's more video posted online of the April 30th session in New Jersey where state lawmakers apparently cut public comment short when things weren't going their way.

New York Times spin

The New York Times spins the IRS scandal as little more than over-worked agents trying make do under a crush of applications from Tea Parties and the like.

The Times also manages to serve up a glowing spin piece on White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and the great job he's doing.

Resisting "puffy-bunny socialism"

“The idea that all 50 states are going to be content to slide off the cliff in a kind of haze and a drone of sort of soporific princess fluffy-bunny socialism is completely false. I mean, there will be - you’re going to have serious secession movements if some of this stuff isn’t turned around, not just in Texas.” - Mark Steyn, speaking on the Dennis Miller radio show

Another scene from fundamentally changed America

What happens when a man dares to speak out against gun control? They send folks with guns to escort him out.



It happened to James Kaleda in April at a public hearing orchestrated by New Jersey lawmakers.

Fascist America

Where the IRS appears to persecute those out of line with values declared by the nation's progressive leadership.

The Thomas More Society is a public interest law firm. Among the instances it cites:

Coalition for Life of Iowa found itself in the IRS’s crosshairs when the group applied for tax exempt status in October 2008. Nearly ten months of interrogation about the group’s opposition to Planned Parenthood included a demand by a Ms. Richards from the IRS’ Cincinnati office unlawfully insisted that all board members sign a sworn declaration promising not to picket/protest Planned Parenthood. Further questioning by the IRS requested detailed information about the content of the group’s prayer meetings, educational seminars, and signs their members hold outside Planned Parenthood.

What to talk about

We'll chime in on the scandals that have beset the White House.  

While the White House attempts to deflect scandals, Mayor Bloomberg is still working hard to push more gun control. 

And you may have read reports that the federal deficit is on the decline. But is it  a trend, or just a one time burp that resulted from dodging the so-called fiscal cliff?

If gold's such a loser...

Why are central banks gobbling up all the gold they can get their hands on?

The World Gold Council, an industry trade group, notes:

Central Banks remained significant acquirers of gold, making purchases in excess of 100t (109t) for the seventh consecutive quarter. 

Overall total global demand for gold in Q1 2013 was 963t, down 19% from Q4 2012.

I don't think there's a serious gold bug out there who hasn't warned there'd be wild volatility in the gold markets as economic uncertainty deepens.  And despite swings in price, gold appears to be consistently moving to those with strong hands.
