We now have more details on the shooting at Ford Hood yesterday. The shooter was Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim who has been on the radar of federal law enforcement officials for at least the last six months over internet postings praising suicide bombers. He was also shouting "Allahu Akbar" before shooting yesterday, but President Obama is warning people not to jump to conclusions as the Council on American Islamic Relations condemned the attack. Obama's first statement yesterday after the shootings was not in reference to the attack, but a shout out to a friend of his. Keep it classy.
Major news outlets refused to mention his religion yesterday, but just imagine if he had been a Christian listening to talk radio or watching Fox News. In fact, the media seems to be trying to advance a storyline that the shooting shows problems not with Muslims, but with the military, despite the fact that the guy had given a presentation about killing the infidels.
Remember that Census worker found dead in Kentucky with "Fed" on his chest? After the left tried to blame his death on talk radio and right-wing extremism, right now it is believed that he committed suicide.
The health care vote may be pushed back, as Democrats scramble to find 218 votes. The Democrats are also scrambling with the health insurance industry fighting back and a Cato study showing that young people will pay significantly more for health insurance under ObamaCare. They are also having trouble with costs, with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services saying that they are not sure they will have a cost score of the bill before a Saturday vote if it happens. Michael F. Cannon says that the Democrats' $1 trillion bill will actually be a $2.5 trillion bill when you consider what has happened in Massachusetts. The Republicans' plans, on the other hand, will lower premiums and only cost $61 billion.
Unemployment last month jumped to 10.2%, with a broader unemployment rate of 17.5%. The media is reporting that the economy is recovering; if a Republican was in the White House we'd be on the verge of economic Armageddon with widespread misery and 17.5% of people unemployed.
More "stimulus" fake jobs numbers: most of the jobs "saved" in California were never in jeopardy.
Most young Americans don't qualify for military service because they're either too fat, too stupid, or have a criminal record.
