rumblings on the ether; if you have not already packed your Go bag, checked your bang sticks, rounded up what you need to feed them; and decided on hunker vs flee NOW is that time to do so DAMHIK } | ||

City, I hope what you say isn't the case but I will be hunkering as there is no where for me to flee too. | ||

Increased level of 'chatter' Frequency analysis - how often and from where are the sources and indications of information coming / and the negation - have other sources gone unreasonably quiet on same topics Content analysis - what exactly is being said, vs what is being done (intent vs propaganda) Bona fides - who is saying it, what is their credibility and track record for accountability Psy - who and what are talking against it - telling you that 'all is well'; 'pay no attention to X' ... and it all starts to add up quickly anything off the tv box should be immediately suspect - pay attention stay ready it comes | ||

http://freebeacon.com/iran-white-house-lying-about -details-of-nuke-deal/ Even Iran agrees with Mr. West. Iran has a history of Truthfulness second only to Obama's regime. Maybe actually ahead. At this level of competition, it's hard to be precise. Let's just say it's a far shorter job to list truths than lies with both. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/11/26/defense-depar tment-gives-local-police-equipment-designed-for-wa rzone/ Ohio SU parking an armored fighting vehicle at football games for the intimidation factor? Awesome! I know if I was a student there I'd be watching for a chance to borrow it for a joyride. Not like they could stop you once you got inside & started rolling. Be fairly easy to break contact long enough to bail and walk calmly into a dorm too. I'd park it on the front porch of the School President, blocking his front door. If someone goes full Animal House, maybe Inside the Prez's office. | ||

I found this to be an interesting comparison. Drunks and Keynesians I have known my fair share of drunks in my day, real hardcore addicts who continue to believe they have their problem handled as their world crumbles around them. It is painful to watch and even harder to live through because despite all good intentions, there typically is a need to hit rock bottom before any true recovery can begin. Much like these addicts, our debt economy is always on the lookout for its next fix of “cheap money”, rather than the hard work of getting fiscally sober. “More booze for the punch bowl”, cry the masses, because sobering up is uncomfortable--and who would want to choose difficult when easy is so much easier?

"Maybe our families will have to suffer today so that our children can have a better life - that is what families will be talking about on Thursday" http://tinyurl.com/mgjzej8 proving that California is enrolling thousands onto insurance plans..... http://tinyurl.com/mgvr9hq when of course they are paid by headcount .... duh. and when they are actually landing on Medicaid and being UNINSURED http://tinyurl.com/kxk95p5 from Clear Politics: the figures used in this and any other article on Obamacare. Some of the tabulations on exchange sign-ups have included those who enrolled in Medicaid. Indeed, nearly nine of 10 sign-ups nationally appear to be for that program. But there’s nothing inherently less important in signing up for Medicaid than for a subsidized individual or family insurance policy. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, there are 47 million people in the United States who have no health insurance. When the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, the administration hoped to enroll 28 million of these uninsured, with roughly half of the number reflecting an expansion of Medicaid. People earning up to 138 percent (about $32,500 for a family of four) above the poverty level are eligible for Medicaid. Those earning between 138 percent and 400 percent above the poverty level are eligible for federal subsidies on a sliding scale." so the real goal and affect is to expand MEDICAID and has shown that nearly 90% of 'enrollees' will be on that program for California..... yes Komrade Brother - FORWARD ! And let us not forget the heckling sniglet (staged?) If I had the power to implement reform, outside of Congress, without going through the channels in Washington - I WOULD ....but.....we are a nation of 'laws'..... anyone who has taken logic 101 - knows anything after the 'but' is BS ..... | ||

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/365132/surre nder-geneva-mark-steyn Foreign policy? Anyone? http://www.nationalreview.com/article/365137/polit ics-not-soap-opera-andrew-c-mccarthy Bill Clinton was a lucky guy who got to live off the fat of the land: the broad prosperity of Reagan’s economic boom, post-Soviet unipolar U.S. dominance on the world stage, and plunging crime rates at home. New threats, such as the global jihad’s setting its sights on America, were just emerging; new time bombs, such as government’s extorting banks to grant mortgages to poor credit risks, were just beginning to tick. Clinton’s personal corruption reduced the stature of the presidency and Dick Morris’s miniature populism — the president as champion of, yes, school uniforms for third-graders — reduced its gravity. The president trundled along from scandal to scandal, all unsavory but none consequential enough to threaten American security or prosperity. As he did, the media marveled not at how dissolute Clinton was but at how fabulous he was at lying about it. In previous times, gross fraud was a disqualifier for offices of public trust. Now, fraud and the dexterity to carry it off in the light of day — to look the press itself in the eye and lie with indignation — became admirable political attributes. The story was never the sordid facts of the scandal du jour; the scandal was merely a barometer for measuring Clinton’s survival skills. Now, of course, we have another celebrity-in-chief whose left-wing orientation aligns with the media’s. Obama is a more ambitious and doctrinaire statist — one who didn’t come to Washington just “to do school uniforms,” as he admonished his staff — but one who lacks Clinton’s charm. As increasing numbers of Americans sense, the current president is more into inflicting your pain than into feeling it. Yet Obama’s biggest problem is not that, for all his talk about it, empathy seems so alien to his experience. It is that the world has gotten far more serious. .................... The star of a soap opera can alter his character with every new script. In real life, no one is a fraud on Monday and Wednesday but a pillar of rectitude if you catch him the rest of the week. In real life, it is no surprise that the guy whose autobiography is chock-full of fiction turns out to be a full-time charlatan, that the guy who gets indignant at the “birthers” retained an agent who represented that “he was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister.” In real life, the guy who looks you in the eye and promises that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan, period” can be expected to tell you, cross his heart, the Benghazi massacre was caused by an anti-Muslim video, and that everything possible was done to save Americans under siege. He can also be expected to run an administration that assures you, even as things fall apart, that the Muslim Brotherhood is a moderate, largely secular organization committed to democracy; that Obamacare is not a tax and will dramatically reduce your premiums while cutting spending; that we are experiencing the most transparent administration in history; that the criminally reckless Fast and Furious program was begun by the Bush administration; that the president has cut spending and debt even as he piles trillions more on our tab; that he has excluded lobbyists from policymaking jobs; or that an “interim agreement” that explicitly allows Iran to enrich uranium — and that anticipates a final accord establishing a permanent uranium “enrichment program” for Iran — somehow does not recognize an Iranian right to enrich uranium and so portend a revolutionary jihadist regime possessed of nuclear bombs. Though never desirable, presidential fraud might be tolerable if this were 1995 again. But it is not — our times are grave. Unlike the days of the Clinton bender, the question is not how the president is going to survive another fine mess he’s gotten himself into. The question is how we are going to survive this president. | ||

They're right, that is a huge improvement. | ||

JAY CARNEY: I think you're confusing error messages with the queuing message, which is quite a different thing entirely. They queuing messages are a specific tool that was created and upgraded to be more sophisticated, so that when there were surges in traffic on the website. When the number of users reached a certain level, people would get those messages that they were placed in a queue. If they wanted to enroll, there was a better time for them to come back. | ||
| Sifo |
It is a huge "improvement". It's nothing that should be bragged about though. Error message vs. queuing message?  They are nowhere near handling the 50K user goal either. Having problems with about 30K users. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/12/02/can-healthcare-gov-actually-handle-50000-users-at-a-time/ Add to that, the backend that needs to transfer payment info to the insurance companies isn't working yet. Plenty of other stuff too, but the payment is particularly troubling, given the poor security displayed so far. Usually when you make a credit card transaction they don't keep your CC info after it's gone through. In this case, they will have to hang on to the CC details, presumably storing that info in a data base that is thrown together on the fly as a temporary fix. On a system with bad security in it's better parts, this would have me crapping my pants scared. Given that the navigators, who have not had to pass a low level background check, and admittedly very well could be convicted felons, will probably have access to this data, also would terrify me. Yep, it's a huge improvement! | ||

hmm, sorry about that - it was a valid link when I posted it. It was a blurb that the O administration is looking to close US and Foreign Commissaries for Armed Services, and Retiree access. because there is no other fat in the budget to spare of course.....so let us stick it to the military (never mind the millions of dollars that went to a failed website that is propped up by a trojan horse of a lie about health care coverage and access....) | ||
