Breaking: Federal Judge Strikes down Obamacare-

A federal judge in Texas struck down the Affordable Care Act on Friday night, ruling that former President Barack Obama’s signature domestic legislation has fallen down like a losing game of “Jenga.”

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth sided with the argument put forward by a coalition of Republican-leaning states, led by Texas, that Obamacare could no longer stand now that there’s no penalty for Americans who don’t buy insurance.

    • It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court rules on this. It looks to me that Obama Care is out which will force the Dems to come to the table; they can no longer simply be obstructionists on the issue.

      • Yes,this will be a good test to see where the court now stands.

        The Dems are hopeless,they have already come out in force and pledged to dig in their heels and do nothing,except obstruct and impeach.

        One thing is for sure,this will get interesting quick if the SCOTUS upholds the lower court’s decision.

  3. Green fascists fly a kite:
    ‘Swedish Greens Suggested Relocating Swedes Opposed to Multiculturalism
    Swedish Green Party politicians in Eslöv have issued an apology after the local council group suggested forcing out Swedes critical of multiculturalism from the area, saying the proposals were just satire.’

    “satire” eh…..riiight.

  5. New Zealand’s sky-high rates of sexually transmitted infections
    ‘Newborns are paying the price for New Zealand’s sky-high rates of sexually transmitted infections.
    Babies are being born with eye infections passed down from mothers infected with chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
    The country has the highest number of infections in the world and in the wider Midland’s region the rates are up to 69 times higher than the United States and up to 21 times higher than the United Kingdom.’

    • Previous studies had determined that NZ women were the most promiscuous in the world.

      • You’ll note too, that the article blames it all on the health system being “biased against maoris”.
        No mention of personal responsibility, crass stupidity and sheer laziness. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_unsure.gif

        • Well KG, welcome to Keynesianism. If you don’t have a job the government is meant to spend more, so that you’ll have a job. It is meant to spend on health.

          We’ve had generations of this mentality, it’s always up to the government to fix everything. Those on the right are sometimes called cold and heartless, greedy, grubby people.

    • This will not end well.
      Or perhaps it will, since only chaos, isurrection and violence seems to get through to our political masters. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_whistle3.gif

    • ACC has in part helped keep down the costs of medical care in New Zealand. Without it we’d have the NHS problem where trusts have to fork out millions for treatment injuries (and they are not all due to bad doctors but rather complications of treatment) depleting the coffers for buying new equipment or providing services.

      This particular pain specialist seems to be a couple of standard deviations from normal practice. In his defence, and having done a fair amount of pain management myself, the ACC is being defrauded at alarming rates by people claiming for non existent pain and as well as non accident stuff.

      • I agree with your points, Mawm, but it seems to me that bureaucrats are given much too much power and incentive to meet targets and they often do that by riding roughshod over sometimes vulnerable people’s rights.
        I’m no bleeding heart, but I know of no instances where given that much power, stupid and/or ambitious bureaucrats haven’t abused it.

  11. Well, well, well. Due to little people like us not approving of the censorious manifest observable behavior (heh) of Patreon and its ilk, but Patreon in particular, “our side” is working to fight back. [video embedded]

    Let’s hope and assist where possible as this appears to be the beginning to another whole new front!

      • These people form a tight-knit group who see themselves as the rightful rulers of NZ. when in fact they’re nothing more than slippery, unprincipled ripoff artists.
        They could all be hanged from lamp posts and NZ would be the better for it. :evil:

  14. This is what KG and I have been seeing for a long time, when the powers that be were more circumspect about their scheming.

    Today the NY Slimes couches their global misanthropic desires in a question.

    Would Human Extinction Be a Tragedy?

    I couldn’t duplicate it, but of course they put their headline in 48 point font. They’re proud of their hatred of humanity.

    We have tolerated people who preach this sort of death wish for far too long, and they are too near the pinnacle of power.

    For the sake of decency, such people need to be marginalized widely, and the people who permit them their rise to prominence need to be removed. That second group is the power, and they act as if their hands are clean. Do not be fooled by their seeming calm demeanor as they will become deadly as the time for their removal becomes imminent. Be prepared.

      • I’m not the first to note the traffic light syndrome of the Left. The greens have been too yellow to be openly bloody red — until now when they think they’ve won.

        And I agree Mike. You’ve been one of the most receptive to the evidence that those seeking and already in power could be so bloody inclined.

        The fact that the mountain of skulls as a consequence of permitting Red regimes to rise always gets downplayed by our SOVIET-STYLE MEDIA ought to be the biggest clue without even looking at all the bloody papers written about the need to “do something about over-population.”

        The West has up to now not been subjecting its own subjects to torture and murder (permissiveness towards Antifa indicates that’s changing), but they’ve been doing its utmost to get us to kill ourselves, or short of that, to adopt life-styles that don’t reproduce. And now they’re going so far as to force little children to be sterilized because they might mention to willing ears that they’d consider being another sex. Goddamn all the elites who are hostile to humanity.

    I sure hope he’s right about the “vast number of women” awakening to the hatred for them by the Leftist loser hags and their male eunuchs. It will then be the women who roast their antagonists and not the bogus threat that the Left has labeled male patriarchy. Payback will be to bitches.

  20. I was thinking:
    Why do the Republicans have the elephant as a symbol when elephants have the biggest balls of any land mammal? Wouldn’t they be better represented by a shrew? http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif

  21. Winston Peters is a disgrace.

    He has signed NZ up to the UN Migration Compact. This is the politician who stood on an anti immigration platform. So he has shafted his voters a second time (the first with supporting Labour). He also had the gall to claim in Parliament that none of this Compact is binding. Then why the hell did you sign it? Because you know that this kind of thing works its way in to NZ law and you couldn’t give a stuff. Disgraceful liar. *spit*

  24. BULLSHIT. Show us the survey methodology.
    ‘Universal basic income for children is an answer to child poverty’
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/109441711/kiwis-want-a-speedier-end-to-child-poverty
    Dodgy research, political agenda and no hope in hell of the money reaching vast numbers of kids.Plenty of people in NZ live in houses with gardens, for example. Imstead of vegetable plots those “gardens” are often filled with wrecked cars, broken toys and garbage, yet we hear people whining about not being able to afford fresh vegetables for the kids!
    Take a look at obese “parents” filling supermarket trolleys with junk food, at the vast numbers buying junk in stores like the Warehouse, and – most of all – take a look at NZ’s appalling child abuse figures.

    To think that the proposed $60 a week per child would ever reach the children is pure fantasy. But it will sure help buy a lot of dope and cigarettes. And Maori votes.
    Update: An interesting comment under the article:
    ‘Check out Horizon research for your answer. Up for $1000 and an iphone if you sign up to their polls. Nothing neutral about the answers obviously’

    • “To think that the proposed $60 a week per child would ever reach the children is pure fantasy. But it will sure help buy a lot of dope and cigarettes.”

      Isn’t it amazing,humans exhibit the exact same behavior the world over once they have been reduced to the lowest common denominator.
      Years ago now the government gave out food stamp books to the poor.Many of those stamps were traded for beer,smokes,dope you name it.Then color copying machines became common and for a couple bucks down at the local office supply store they could turn $50 worth of food stamps into $500 or $5000 even,then go trade the counterfit stamps for $.50 on the dollar.

      So now they get plastic cards,some states even give them a cash balance that they can do whatever with.So my question is,why do they need a universal basic income since they essintially already have one??

  25. I came across this little gem at Zero Hedge talking about Belgium’s parliament dissolving.

    After an inconclusive election in 2010, the country muddled through for 589 days without an elected government. In that period, the country recorded its highest economic growth of the decade.

    Someone in the comments beat me to it by stating
    See it’s settled science, Govt’s are bad or you!

    • I maintain that a government shutdown would be the best thing that could happen in the US rightnow.

  26. NZ for sale:
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/108921008/the-big-scam-our-immigration-system-is-broken

    Nevermind, it’s par for the course in a country as corrupt as NZ:
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/climate-news/109478710/media-council-finds-no-grounds-to-proceed-for-climate-change-complaint

    Neatly dodges the central issue……that media coverage is overwhelmingly biased towards one view and articles carrying evidence for the opposite viewpoint are completely absent.
