Don't Blame Obama For Doubling The Federal Deficit
Republicans use a sound bite that the federal debt doubled under Obama. In looking at the numbers that is close to being numerically correct but falls short of being 100%. However when you take into account the Great Recession, making W. Bush’s temporary tax cuts permanent, increased Social Security and Medicare spending as more Baby Boomers retire and become 65 years old and the Afghanistan and Iraq wars he inherited the story is quite different.
President Obama’s debt actually grew at a slower annual rate than any of the Republican presidents even though there were events that negatively impacted the deficit that started before he became President. The Great Recession is probably the biggest of them as can be seen in the yearly deficit numbers. While all politicians use data to support their positions, the sound bite that the debt doubled under Obama is very misleading.

Fake news
History repeats itself due to fools like you, your report is from a Republican lead committee in 2004. The report I provided is bipartisan from 2008. Even your hero Trump knows the war was a bunch of bullshit from Bush and the neocons he surrounded himself with.
A 2008 Senate Intelligence Committee report, adopted in a bipartisan vote, that examined whether administration officials accurately portrayed the underlying intelligence was unsparing in its criticism of this aspect of the White House’s case for war. The 170-page report said such Iraq/al-Qaeda statements were “not substantiated by the intelligence,” adding that multiple CIA reports dismissed the claim that Iraq and al-Qaeda were cooperating partners – and that there was no intelligence information that supported administration statements that Iraq would provide weapons of mass destruction to al-Qaeda.
There were serious problems in the intelligence, some of which were relegated to dissenting footnotes. But the Bush administration also chose to highlight aspects of the intelligence that helped make the administration’s case, while playing down others.
The clearest example of stretching the intelligence concerned Saddam Hussein’s links to al-Qaeda and by extension the 9/11 attacks, which were thin and nonexistent — but which the Bush administration (especially Vice President Cheney) suggested were deeply suspicious.

Shocking how the previous fiscal policies of an administration effects the fiscal policies of the next admin. Welcome to the party Alice.

No, it’s real news alright. Damn funny too. Who was in charge of congress in the Bush years a.k.a. the Barney Frank affordable housing years. A democrat led Congress thought subsidies to the housing market was a good idea. We know how that ended.
Fuck the report douche bag...who are these fine folks on the video and what are they saying?

Planned Parenthood has filed a federal lawsuit against Indiana over the state’s law that requires abortion clinics to be inspected annually for health and safety issues.
“Once again Indiana politicians are barging into the exam room with irrational demands and intrusive requirements,” said Jane Henegar, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Indiana, which filed the suit on behalf of Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK), reports the Associated Press.

Men Just Received The Best Scientific Advice in History

The Sun’s Andrea Downey has lightened the hearts of millions of men around the planet with her prescription for increasing their life expectancy: stare at boobs.
That’s only one of the six ways men can boost their life expectancy, according to Downey, who makes a compelling argument. Here are the six ways:
1. Stare at boobs.
Downey points out, “Staring at boobs creates a positive mindset in men … A 2012 study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, looked at the effects positive thinking had on men’s health. After a year, positive thinking had a powerful effect on health choices.”
Downey notes that over half of the men who had coronary heart disease but thought positively upped their exercise, as opposed to 37% who did not think positively; similar results were found among men with high blood pressure.
So far, so good.
2. Have lots of sex.
Downey quoted a study in the BMJ finding sex could cut men’s mortality rate in half. She notes succinctly, “In the study, life expectancy increased by three to eight years in the group who reported more orgasms.”
This is good.
3. Get married.
Downey writes, “A survey of more than 127,000 Americans found men who got married after they were 25 were likely to live longer than those who married young.”
Also, the chances of #2 and #1 increase radically.
4. Have kids.
Downey cites a study that reinforces the notion that men who marry and have kids have longer lives than those who don’t. She writes, “A study in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health found that when parents reached age 60, men with kids saw their life expectancy go up two years while women increased by 1.5 years.”
Although #4 can interfere with #2 and #1, when there’s a will, there’s a way.
5. Be responsible
Downey notes a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in which elderly people in nursing homes who received a plant displayed improved socialization, alertness and general function. She notes appropriately, “Perhaps that is why having kids is good for you.”
6. Get a "dad bod"
So gaining a little weight is okay; Downey writes, “A book called ‘How Men Age’ argues that tubby men are less likely to suffer a heart attack or prostate cancer and are more likely to invest their time in their children.”
Three cheers for science

“You may shut the f*** up”: Port Authority ethics commissioner quits after pulling rank on local cops

She’s a former Hillary fundraiser so I know we’re all surprised that she’d display a grandiose sense of entitlement. The best part is when she impresses upon the cops — more than once — that the car they pulled over happens to include grad students from MIT and Yale.

"You may shut the f*** up": Port Authority ethics commissioner quits after pulling rank on local cops
Trump should run the dashcam video as a populist campaign ad in 2020. It’s so irritating that the Port Authority, upon viewing it, has already decided to drain the swamp:
“The conduct was indefensible. The board takes its recently adopted Code of Ethics for commissioners extremely seriously and was preparing to form a special committee to review the findings of the Inspector General investigation and take action at this Thursday’s board meeting,” said spokesman Benjamin Branham. “Commissioner [Caren] Turner’s resignation was appropriate given her outrageous conduct.”
“Even before the announcement, Turner’s name and photo had already been removed from the Port Authority website,” noted NJ.com. That’s what hosing down a five-alarm PR fire looks like.
She spends most of the video’s eight minutes demanding to know why the cops stopped her daughter. We can’t tell you that, says PD. Your daughter’s an adult, therefore you have no right to know. Just ask her yourself. But Turner refuses, for seemingly no better reason than that she’s miffed that two nobodies from Tenafly, New Jersey would dare resist a Port Authority commissioner’s demands for information. As it turns out, the cops had pulled the car over because the front windows were tinted, which is illegal in New Jersey, and because the Nevada license plate was slightly obscured by a vanity frame that the dealer had placed over it. When they asked the driver for her license and registration, they discovered that the registration had expired. Turner could have found all of that out from her daughter and avoided a confrontation but she wanted the cops to respect her authori-tah. Now she’s lost her very impressive shiny gold Port Authority badge.
Exit question: Should the Port Authority should have let her slide on grounds that all public officials from New Jersey are dirtbags? It’s congenital. Can’t blame her for behaving as nature intended.

You fool. Bush and the fucking warmongering neocons rammed that war down our throats. Every other sentence they spoke was you're either with us or against us as they rushed into war on their cherry picked intel. Those assholes couldn't wait to go to war. There is nothing conservative about being a warmongering neocon and it cost our country greatly. You are in a great minority of folks that refuse to understand what happened. It's party ahead of country for you.

What was there to, "look the other way" about in the Benghazi tragedy? . . . and anyone who doesn't see the hypocrisy of then supporting Trump, vis-a-vis handling classified info, shouldn't be telling anyone, anything.
Come on and let it all out my right wing friend. Unfortunately for your little rant however- the House Republican's held hearing into Benghazi, e-mail & and handling of classified info and decided not to press any charges.
