Income disparity…understanding the difference between ‘opportunity’ and ‘outcome’

Much is made by the Left-supporting mainstream media about Income Inequality.

The reason is simple – resentment and envy are guaranteed vote-getters. The less fortunate will always have a large contingent of its populace swayable by emotion.

But there is a difference between outcome…where some end up on the low-income totem pole,,,and opportunity – where most of us start with the same chance to earn.

An easy example? Kids start a school year with the same books as everyone else…

…but the kids never end that school year with the same grades as everyone else.

The ‘Same Books’ start gave them an equal opportunity…

…but individual effort and talent gave them a different outcome.

When it comes to Income Inequality, it’s more about effort…by those who prepare us on our journey, and by how hard we apply it – to maximize the opportunity.

Noted economist Thomas Sowell can tilt at the ‘Liberals-don’t-get-it’ windmill all day.

When it comes to Income Inequality, he may as well conserve his energy.

Bottom line is…LIBERALS..DON’T..WANT..TO..’GET..IT’!

Otherwise, in election season, when their empty-policy failures loom large…

…they wouldn’t have resentment and envy to fall back on.

Once again, cause for Impeachment is in evidence

“The President…shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason… or other high Crimes…” (U.S. Constitution, Article II, section 4)

Analysts at our U.S. Central Command – as far back as 2011 – have warned that al-Qaeda efforts were growing, even while Obama and his cohort claimed otherwise.

Worse, according to The Weekly Standard, CENTCOM leaders were ordered to stop analysis of vital al-Qaeda data, even though our military was still fighting al-Qaeda!

CENTCOM intel efforts directly affect how our forces are deployed. To deny the U.S. Military access to such vital information put every soldier deployed at greater risk.

‘Treason’ is defined as helping your country’s enemies during war. Withholding data critical to fighting those enemies would certainly qualify as ‘helping’ them.

‘High Crimes’ are defined as improper “activity by…those who have special duties acquired by taking an oath of office that are not shared with common persons.”

And the culprits involved all follow Obama’s orders.

C-O-N-N-E-C-T THOSE DOTS.

Start at the bottom if they must, but the Republican-led Congress has an obligation to our U.S. Military, and if they will do their job…impeachments should be working.

Then, connect the final dot…data withheld also included Iran’s al-Qaeda links.

With low oil prices, thank California Democrats for high gas pump prices

Bloomberg reports: “A glut of crude may keep oil prices low for the next 15 years, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.”

Too bad the Democrats who are ruining…errr…running California don’t know that.

Sure, pump prices are lower than they have been…but nowhere near other states.

Love high gas pump prices, California? Then just keep voting ‘Democrat’.

Was slowing Iran’s uranium enrichment hinged on their import-quotas?

Considering Iran’s ‘sudden’ discovery of new uranium deposits‘, wouldn’t it be ironic if Obama’s deal to slow/stall Iran’s enrichment hinged on IMPORTED uranium?

‘Cuz, if that’s true, Iran probably was aware of their uranium deposits, conveniently ‘forgot’ to mention them…but now can say they’re exempt from enrichment quotas.

Which shows, in 1 more area of this disastrous deal, Obama and Kerry got played…

…AGAIN.

Don’t write off Rick Perry yet

He has a great track record governing Texas, creating jobs and economic gains.

His 14-year tenure included balanced budgets, 2.2 million jobs created, and signed or sponsored legislation that cut taxes 75 times during that period.

Rick Perry may say he’s dropped out, but don’t write him off…he can get back in.

For all the popularity of Trump, bottom line is…voters want a fighter. They don’t care about anything other than the fact he’s willing to vocalize what so many are feeling.

Gov. Perry should take a page out of that book.

Because, while Donald Trump may talk a good game, he has little in the way of personal history to show he’ll ever walk that talk.

Trump rarely gets into the weeds, using bluff and bravado to carry the day. And if ambiguity triumphs over substance this early in a campaign, others can do that too.

Early polling be damned…

We encourage Rick Perry to re-calibrate, roll up his sleeves, and come out swinging.

(The sooner, the better.)

What better time to invoke a nuclear option, than to stop this Iran nuclear deal?

The GOP Senate wants another run at the Iran deal, Democrats will block it.

Unless…

…the Senate Majority Leader invokes the nuclear option for a 51-vote majority.

Failing to do so gives Iran $150bn in sanction relief they can use to support more terror acts globally…and gets Iran that much closer to nuclear weapons.

Obama never complied with the mandate to give Congress ALL the details of his deal, so Congress shouldn’t be legitimizing the Corker bill, but if they insist…

…a ‘nuclear option’ prevents Democrats from their filibuster stalling.

What better time to implement the ‘nuclear option’, than to stop this idiocy?

Au contraire, Bernie…your leader wasn’t elected for his ideas, he was elected because of his skin color

Socialist Bernie Sanders pushed all the Liberal buttons today.

Asked what he’d do to ‘bring healing, resolution to the issue of racism’ in America, he went on a racist rant for 4 minutes, predictably pushing a cops-as-killers lie…

…then in the last 10 seconds, gave the ‘stand up and say no’ invocation.

Sanders claimed Obama was elected in 2008 for his ideas, not his skin color, but the opposite is true…if Obama had told the truth about Obamacare, open borders, or enabling a nuclear Iran, he would have never been elected!

Then, after pushing the cops-unnecessarily-killing-blacks meme, Sanders had the audacity to speak of ‘politicians who disgracefully used racism’ to garner support.

Not answering questions and disavowing what they themselves do is what Liberals are all about…

…Sanders demonstrated that perfectly for 4 minutes and 40 seconds today.

(And, by the way, Bernie, the principles America was founded on were not ‘racist’. What was racist is how those all-inclusive principles were selectively applied.)

We can all relax now, Democrats are finally asking for ‘honest’ intel reports…

Obama’s ‘it was a video’ team of experts have been caught ‘editing’ intel reports.

Wanting the boss to appear effective on all things jihad, they altered analyst reports to make it appear the ISIS-al Qaeda efforts were failing, even as they were growing.

But, we can all relax – caught in the act, they’re now calling for honest reports.

What a relief that will be.

10 acres and a…Sage Grouse?

In the federal government’s bid to control every aspect of our daily lives, now we are faced with their efforts to declare 424,700 Sage Grouse an endangered species.

What’s really at stake is who gets to control managing sage areas – state or federal.

At an est. cost of $760 million – $1789 per sage grouse – the feds have (surprise!) started a program, setting aside 4.4 million acres for the affected grouse.

For the math-challenged among us, that’s 10 acres per Sage Grouse.

Aren’t you wishing you grew feathers? (Think twice, there’s no hunting ban yet.)

The land-grab is primarily in Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah. Naturally, states worried about their economies want management control.

Land once occupied by Nez Perce, Sioux, Shoshone, Cheyenne, Crow, Arapaho, and Osage tribes…which begs the question of effective D.C. political priorities.

For all the talk of reparations, why aren’t Indian reservations used as set asides? Pay the Indian tribesmen to manage Sage Grouse…‘feathered casinos’ if you will.

At a lower rate of $100/Sage Grouse, an entrepreneurial tribesman could manage a Sage Grouse farm of 500 birds, earning an annual $50k…PLUS egg sale revenue.

Taxpayers would save a bundle, states wouldn’t have to worry about their economy, and Native Americans would be ‘at one with Nature’, while earning decent incomes.

Failing that, the Supreme Court could hand down an ‘open marriage’ ruling…

…then the more daring among us could marry a Sage Grouse…

with a $1789 dowry

…AND 10 ACRES OF LAND!

Knowing they have the full force of the federal government behind them…

…imagine how well they’ll take care of their ‘ feathered family’.
