Hillary Clinton Claims Corporations and Businesses Don't Create Jobs

In case you haven't seen it yet, here's where Hillary Clinton tells people at a Martha Coakley rally (the Democratic would-be governor) that businesses and corporations don't create jobs.

Talking about how her hubby Bill- while President in the 1990s- increased the minimum wage, and how she voted for the same thing as a U.S. Senator, and oodles of jobs were subsequently created, she said:

“Don’t let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs." “They always say that.
Claiming trickle-down economics failed "rather spectacularly", she tells the crowd:

 “don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs."




Uh, no?  Then who creates jobs, Hillary?

And this woman will probably run for president.  Eek.

She sort of clarifies here.

Stephen Lynch (D-MA)- The Worst Part Of Obamacare To "Hit The Fan"

Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch from Massachusetts claims that the worst part of Obamacare is about to "hit the fan." Granted, he voted against it in 2010- the only one of his fellow Democrats to do so.


“There are parts of Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, that were postponed because they are unpalatable." “As these provisions come into effect, the administration thus far is saying, ‘Gee, we really can’t handle this right now so we’re going to delay it.’”

“These obligations keep piling up." “Any individual with an individual healthcare plan that exceeds $10,200 is in a Cadillac plan situation. They’re going to have to pay — that employer, if they provide that, and many do today let alone in 2018 — will have to pay a 40 percent tax on the amount over the minimum established — excuse me, the maximum established under the Affordable Care Act.”

“That is a huge tax. It’s the first time in this country’s history that we have actually taxed health care." “We used to treat it like food, that people would die without it. Well, we’re in a new day now.”
[snip]
“We will lose seats in the House." [snip] “I am fairly certain of that based on the poll numbers that are coming out from the more experienced pollsters down there. And I think we may lose the Senate.”

More here.

Video of Lynch.

Hopefully this is good news for the Republicans in mid-terms.

Anti-Semitism In The Newton, MA School Curriculum - Charles Jacobs Fights Back

Anti-Semitism in Massachusetts isn't anything new, it's been going on for years, but you wouldn't expect it in a high school curriculum.  And yet there it was in material from the Arab World Studies Notebook which was part of a world history class at Newton South High.

What some parents took issue with, when it was discovered in 2011, was the following:

“Over the past four decades, women have been active in the Palestinian resistance movement. Several hundred have been imprisoned, tortured, and killed by Israeli occupation forces since the latest uprising, “Intifada,” in the Israeli occupied territories.”
When confronted by Charles Jacobs from Americans For Peace and Tolerance the superintendent had this to say:

The Superintendent finally issued an official explanation that is appallingly transparent. The students were not taught this as truth, he said. They were only given the "lesson" as part of a critical thinking exercise. "We don't tell them what's true. We only teach them how to think."
What Jacobs took most offense to was the fact that they presented the material as truth and never bothered to inform the students that it was a flat out lie.

It took a year for Jacobs, with the help of other Jews and Christians, to finally have that offensive material removed, and now they are speaking before the Newton School Committee to demand answers, among other things. He's inviting anyone in the area to join him.

100 Walnut Street, Newton, Ma

Education Building, second floor.



Support us in spirit (join us if you can) as we speak before the Newton School Committee, demanding access to curricula and an honest explanation for the anti-Semitic materials that slipped into a high school class.

Would they have used a KKK worksheet on black IQ? No. Would they use a misogynist worksheet on women's problems in thinking mathematically?

How about a homophobe worksheet on "abominations?" Never! Only the Jews get the "critical thinking" treatment.....

We want the school department to tell the simple truth: that they let slip some hate literature into our schools and will warn others and never do it again!

Jacobs has already addressed the committee before. Watch the reactions at the end of the video by the school committee members. Typical liberal response.

Transexual Murderer Now Wants Electrolysis Along With Surgery

Remember 63-year-old transsexual, wife-killer Michelle (Robert) Kosilek who won his fight to get the taxpayers to cover the cost of his gender reassignment surgery?  Now Mich, who lives in an all-male prison in Massachusetts, wants electrolysis, because he/she's just too hairy for his/her liking.  Kosilek actually did have a few treatments (courtesy of the taxpayers) back in 2008 to remove excess hair from his chest and face, but prison officials believed he could use other methods (just like most women do) to remove the extra growth.

Apparently, her lawyers claim she needs the electrolysis to complete her as a woman. Considering she's living in an all-male prison, where no-one but her fellow inmates and prison guards see her, why the heck does she think she needs expensive hair removal treatments? Criminals, particularly murderers do not deserve special dispensation for anything.  He should have thought about that before he practically severed his wife's head off with a wire hanger.

The federal judge, Mark L. wolf, who gave the go ahead for the sex change surgery seems to think it was medically necessary, and therefore a "prolonged violation" of Kosilek's constitutional right against 'cruel and unusual punishment'.  Shouldn't he be punished for snuffing out his wife's life? The judge said:

"It has long been well-established that it is cruel for prison officials to permit an inmate to suffer unnecessarily from a serious medical need," the judge wrote in his 128-page decision.
He called it "unusual" to treat a prisoner with gender identity disorder differently "than the numerous inmates suffering from more familiar forms of mental illness."


The Department of Corrections is appealing the judge's initial surgery judgment, no comment on the electrolysis.

What a waste of money. The $30,000 to $80,000 the surgery will cost could feed lots of hungry people in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Union Members Fined For Not Supporting Dem Elizabeth Warren

Union members are getting fined for not showing up at Democratic debates for Senate wannabee Elizabeth Warren.

The video shows a Springfield, Massachusetts union member admitting to the videographer they can get fined up to $250.00 for not showing up. Wow.

The cameraman asks the union member if he was at an earlier debate between Warren and her Republican opponent, Senator Scott Brown.

"Uh-huh," the union member says, nodding.

"Did you guys get fined if you weren't there?" the cameraman asks.

"Yeah," the union member replies.

"How much did you get fined?" the cameraman asks.

"A hundred and fifty," the man says, although he later adds, "It's two-fifty if you don't go."
Totally outrageous.

This poor guy's gonna be in big trouble.

Tranny Murderer's Sex Change Being Reviewed By Mass. State

"Michelle" Kosilek was a he when he killed his wife, Cheryl, in 1990. Strangled her with a wire that almost severed her head. Apparently he had already started the transition to being a female back then, so who knows what the trigger was. Maybe Cheryl refused to share her fave dress. Anyway, jailed and living as a female in a male prison, Robert (as he was first known) will be spending the rest of his life behind bars. No possibility of parole.  And he's been frantically lobbying for a sex-change- and all the things that go with that, like electrolysis- for years, and was refused. Until now. Since she has been diagnosed with gender identity disorder, a Massachusetts judge just gave the okay for taxpayers to pay for the surgery, at a cost of anywhere from $30,000.00 to $80,000.00.

Michelle's attorney is happy as a clam. So is Michelle, who can now stop trying to do the surgery on herself, or trying to end her life, like she ended Cheryl's.

"We are very happy with the ruling, of course. We are still reviewing the opinion and we anticipate the Department of Corrections will follow Judge Wolf's order and promptly arrange for Michelle Kosilek to receive her treatment," Kosilek's attorney Joseph Sulman said Tuesday.
Since when is gender reassignment a necessary "treatment"?

Federal Court Judge Mark L. Wolf believes that the surgery is the

"only adequate treatment" for Kosilek, and "that there is no less intrusive means to correct the prolonged violation of Kosilek's Eighth Amendment right to adequate medical care."
"Medical care"? Since when is cosmetic surgery, because basically that's what it is, medically necessary?  Maybe she should have thought twice before strangling her wife to death.  Murderers don't deserve any special treatment other than basic food and medical care.

Since Wolf's decision, however, Mass. Governor Patrick Deval has said they will look into this further, although they're not sure if they will appeal.  The state was not for the surgery, though I'm sure being a Democrat, Deval will cave.
