Friday “Wildly Successful” Open Comments

Following up on the “delusional” theme from yesterday, I find this headline at Breitbart:
Document: Just Six People Enrolled in Obamacare Plans on Launch Day
Cheryl Atkisson better have some body guards. Performing actual journalism could get her a knife in the back.

The administration has refused to release any data on how many people enrolled in plans in the past month. But now CBS’s Sharyl Attkisson has obtained documents requested by the House Oversight Committee which reveal that just 6 people signed up the first day.
As recently as Wednesday, Sec. Sebelius refused to say how many people have signed up for new insurance using the Obamacare exchange. The excuse has been that the numbers are not available. But the documents obtained by CBS show that the administration was keeping track at “twice-a-day ‘war room’ meetings” at CMS.
The notes from these meetings reveal that 6 people signed up on day one. By the end of Wednesday (the 2nd day) the total was 248 nationwide. According to CBS the exchanges “need to average 39,000 enrollees a day to meet the goal of seven million by March 1.”

39,000 enrollees per day. Yeah, good luck with that. Even with a working program, I don’t see it happening. People are starting to realize just how badly they were suckered into voting for these manipulative,conniving weasels.

    Squirrel Slapper 6000. Actually it is an RWS Diana model 34, with the right pellets and a good rest I can drop a limb rat with a head shot at 50 yards. If one had the time and was so inclined, one could spend quite a bit of time tearing out the same hole in a target in the back yard. It will propel a pellet through a 1″ fence board at 50 feet. Head shots on dove in the backyard are routine :>)

    HEADLINE: We have images consistent with alleged crack video: Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair
    Last Updated Friday, November 1, 2013 7:24AM EDT
    In a stunning announcement, Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair said Thursday that police have recovered a video allegedly showing Mayor Rob Ford smoking from what appears to be a crack pipe.
    The existence of the video was first reported by the Toronto Star and U.S. website Gawker in May.
    Blair said a number of digital files were recovered after several computer hard drives were seized on June 13 in the course of so-called Project Traveller raids, which targeted guns, drugs and gang activity in the city’s west end.

    There was a little headline on Drudge that happened to echo something that I have noticed over JugEars term:

    HEADLINE: Top generals: Obama is ‘purging the military’

    If you purge all the leaders who would dare defy you and actually uphold and support the constitution; those that are left will lack that which is necessary to make sure that our current civilian leadership does not go full fledged Banana Republic Terd World Dictator.
    I no longer have the faith that our military will not fire on Americans when martial law is thrust upon us.

    Does this story found on Drudge bug anybody else but me?

    HEADLINE: Inside China: Nuclear submarines capable of widespread attack on U.S.
    /snip
    “This is the first time in 42 years since the establishment of our navy’s strategic submarine force that we reveal on such a large scale the secrets of our first-generation underwater nuclear force,” the Global Times said in a lengthy article titled “China for the First Time Possesses Effective Underwater Nuclear Deterrence against the United States.”
    The article features 30 photos and graphics detailing, among other things, damage projections for Seattle and Los Angeles after being hit by Chinese nuclear warheads and the deadly radiation that would spread all the way to Chicago.
    /snip
    In 2010, a new class of missile sub, the Type 094 Jin class, entered the service. It is capable of launching 12 to 16 JL-2 missiles with a range of about 8,700 miles, covering much of the continental U.S. with single or multiple, independently targetable re-entry vehicle warheads.

    1) Thanks a whole wissin lot, Slick Willie, for giving China MERV technology during your admin over the vigorous objection of the military and anybody else with more than two functioning neurons in the brain.
    2) Thanks a whole wissin lot, GWB for not sending missiles to destroy the AWACS plane that the Chinese forced down, giving them access to our sensitive technology.
    3) Thanks a whole wissin lot DEMOTERDS for forcing an outright Marxist on the USA.
    We are so screwed!

    We know that the current admin is strong-arming the insurance companies into silence concerning the disaster of Ocare. What kind of payoff is he promising/delivering to the ins execs to guarantee their compliance? The current policies will, by design, drive the insurance companies out of business. Are the ins execs selling all their stock options now and further shorting the market with the understanding that their stock will soon be worthless?

    I know the intent here is to make Obama the Bad Guy by scaring the bejabbers out of people with the prospect of camo clad soldiers in body armor mowing down defenseless citizens like wheat in the autumn, but such talk is foolishly incendiary and not only serves to confirm some of the more ludicrous stereotypes of Conservatives in general, but is also a massive and vicious insult to men and women currently and formerly serving in our military, as well as an indication that there is a good deal of flat out ignorance when it comes to people who have never served understanding how the military works. For this to be a success at what you claim is happening, Barry would have to purge a couple hundred thousand Junior officers and Senior Non-Commissioned officers as well. It is not only fear mongering, it is ignorance mongering as well.

    You go ahead and be scared of soldiers shooting civilians, I’ll worry about the policy implications. I think I can make a much better case for that than you can for your doomsday scenario. You’re basically saying the same kinds of things today that loonie lefties were saying 8 years ago, just with a different boogie man in the White House.
    As for my head being in the sand where it comes to the potential for the behavior of how everyday American soldiers might act or react, I do think I have a better understanding of how that all works than you do. As far as the military goes, your head can’t be in the sand, because it is planted very firmly somewhere else.

    HEADLINE: Energy Dept. Seeks Company to Turn Sunshine Into Gasoline
    Although CO2 is considered a “greenhouse gas” that contributes to climate change[the preceeding statement is 100%BS], if the Energy Department (DOE) finds partners to capitalize on the research of one of its laboratories, someday cars might run on sunshine. Technically, cars would run on the product of sunlight, CO2, and water using a “two-step solar thermochemical cycle” developed by the Albuquerque, New Mexico government lab. The DOE posted the special notice seeking interested companies on the Federal Business Opportunities website on Tuesday:

    It is interesting how an enumerated right, the 2nd Amendment, can have all kinds of restrictions placed upon it but a “right” that emanates from a penumbra, can’t. Perhaps Texans should just have their abortion laws mimic the gun laws of New York. Require a permit for abortions, place a government surcharge on the procedure, place limits on how often and how many abortions an individual can have, require the recipient to take a government approved course on abortion and also place waiting periods on abortion.
    These all sound like reasonable restrictions to a right that “Shall not be Infringed” so they should be fine for abortion.

    What a brilliant comment. Straight down the line, exactly paralleling the so-called logic of the moon-bat-schizzle-leftys, and this will cause them to foam at the mouth in objection.

    I really like the idea of blinding the enemy before the first strike. With this new technology, we can now selectively disable the electronics of a building and leave the one next to it alone and undamaged. Zero collateral damage.

    Wow.
    So the snipers won’t be able to use the lights or computers. That’ll be a big help.
    This is more to remove comm and data processing and transfer capabilities in in the rear echelons of the enemy at the Command and Control level than it has anything to do with control of territory and limiting collateral damage. The intended targets are the devices, not the buildings housing them. A few of these going off in the minutes preceding a seaborne or aerial invasion or infiltration in the right places will make it easier for the guys with guns to go in and blow things up good.

    I’m wondering if it will defeat hardened targets, there’s no mention of that capability. If it does, I might have to re-think that whole thing about storing my cell phone, calculator, and GPS in an old microwave.
    They say its a directed energy beam using microwaves, I’m not sure if a Faraday cage is protection from micro-waves the way it would be for EMP.
    Any electrical engineers here who can tell us?

    You’d think a 60-y.o. bus driver would know better than to drive into a water-covered roadway. We go to the Rehab Gym at NW-Memorial-Hermann, aka The Gulag, 3 days a week. The corner at North Loop frontage and Ella has a deep chasm at the curb, seemingly left over from the construction that is widening 290 and the Loop. A recent morning in a heavy rain, we watched a small sedan ahead of us make a right turn into that hole. The guy made it out, but probably had fender damage.

    So the snipers won’t be able to use the lights or computers. That’ll be a big help.

    I’m pretty sure that is not at all its intended function. It should really disrupt command and control communications not to mention radar installations to make a devastating air strike safer for the pilots.

    This is more to remove comm and data processing and transfer capabilities in in the rear echelons of the enemy at the Command and Control level

    it also will render the front line troops as orphans with no means of communications. LImited ability to provide intelligence, flight paths, etc.

    control of territory and limiting collateral damage.

    It is much easier to control the territory if the enemy can not communicate.

    “If you like your health plan you can keep it”
    Unless of course we deem your plan to be inadequate or sub-standard, then you must get one that we approve of.
    Inadequate or substandard plan is the new Gravitas. This is the focus group tested phrase that Juan Williams and JugEars and the rest of the lefty TNs are using to try and obfuscate the absurdity of the opening phrase of this post.
    Once again, the Lefty Ds are caught in a bald faced lie. If they were honest about their real intentions (you can only have a plan that we approve) the ACA would have never passed. If the long term plan (single payer or fully socialized medicine/complete governmental control) were known to the LIV, along with the implications, the Ds would be tarred and feathered.

    Well, I’m happy to report that I successfully avoided the scourge of Obamacare by having my new knee installed Tuesday. I’m back home and creeping around on a walker, but the daily improvement is noticeable each day. I really fear for others in the same boat as I was when they try to get the same kind of miracle relief that I was blessed with after the first of the year.

    The greatest victory is to help make sure government upholds religious freedom not just for churches but for individuals.

    The influential D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday sided with an Ohio business that challenged Obamacare’s birth control mandate. The business owners—two brothers who own and operate Freshway Foods and Freshway Logistics in Sidney, Ohio—argued that providing such coverage would violate their Catholic beliefs. The appeals court panel ruled in their favor (via LifeNews.com):

    There is also a story on the Tribune site about Senator John Corona lending Senator Patrick his private plane to campaign around the state.
    Now I stand to be corrected, but I recall Senator Corona fighting tooth and nail against property tax cap reform.
    I note Corona, in office for 13 years, has also drawn primary opposition from the right.

    That right there is enough reason to vote for a one eyed hamster over Carona.
