couldn't resist bragging to his fellow liberal elitists about he and the rest of the White House gang bamboozled Congress and the "stupid" American people. Even former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney thinks Jonathan Gruber is an ass. He's become such a liability Democrats are pretending they never heard of him. But they can't escape from their tar baby. * * * Zero has made it clear he intends to do precisely the opposite of what Americans want him to do, which signals many more terrible weeks ahead for Democrats. Especially for Hillary Clinton. * * * * After secret negotiations, President Obama made a deal with China on "<a href="http://nypost.com/2014/11/11/after-secret-meetings-obama-and-china-strike-climate-change-deal/">climate change</a>." It's "historic," a "game changer," say most in the MSM. But <a href="http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2014/11/12/china_us_climate_deal_enthusiasm_gap">Foreign Policy magazine</a> wonders: "Why is Beijing downplaying the supposedly huge climate change deal? * * * * Zero also has been conducting <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/caving-iran_819007.html">secret negotiations with Iran</a>. It speaks volumes about the parlous state our country is in that the president is more eager to deal with the mullahs than with Republicans. * * * * The runoff in the Louisiana senate race is becoming a laugher, an internal poll indicates. "Landrieu should save everyone a lot of money and just concede now," <a href="http://twitchy.com/2014/11/07/its-like-watching-a-big-pile-of-money-burn-actblue-is-soliciting-a-moneybomb-for-sen-landrieu/">tweeted</a> uber leftist Markos Moulitsas. * * * * President Obama plans to issue an executive order granting amnesty to about five million illegal immigrants by the end of next week, reported <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/13/source-obama-to-announce-10-point-immigration-plan-via-exec-action-as-early-as/">Fox News</a>. The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/14/us/obama-immigration.html?smid=tw-bna&_r=0">New York Times</a> confirmed.

At its greatest extent, the Russian Empire included the territories of the old Soviet Union, most of Eastern Europe, Finland and Alaska (up to 1866). </span> <span style="font-size: 12pt">Mr. Putin knows the next U.S. president is unlikely to be as indecisive and reluctant to act as President Obama.

Accordingly, the pressure is on Mr. Putin to act quickly.</span> <span style="font-size: 12pt">The Russian economy is now little more than a petro-state, relying on oil and gas, which account for 68 percent of its total exports, and more than half of its government revenue. Much of Russia's manufacturing base evaporated after the end of the Soviet Union. The ruble has fallen more than 30 percent against the dollar since the beginning of this year. As a result, inflation is accelerating (more than 8 percent at the moment) as imports become more and more expensive. </span> <span style="font-size: 12pt">Thus Mr. Putin is both dangerous and vulnerable.<span> </span>He must be contained.<span> </span>Let's see how.</span></span> </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/containing-putin/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-7882" class="art-post art-article post-7882 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/chief-justice-roberts-may-redeem-himself/" rel="bookmark" title="CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS MAY REDEEM HIMSELF">CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS MAY REDEEM HIMSELF</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="11:11 am">November 11, 2014</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jkelly/" title="View all posts by Jack Kelly">Jack Kelly</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> Democrats who thought last week couldn't have been worse learned Friday they were mistaken. The Supreme Court agreed to decide whether it is legal for the IRS to subsidize Obamacare policies purchased on Healthcare.gov, the federal exchange.

That was a drafting error, Democrats said. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/chief-justice-roberts-may-redeem-himself/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-7880" class="art-post art-article post-7880 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/half-full-report-110714/" rel="bookmark" title="HALF-FULL REPORT 11/07/14">HALF-FULL REPORT 11/07/14</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="2:06 pm">November 7, 2014</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jkelly/" title="View all posts by Jack Kelly">Jack Kelly</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> While Democrats were being sent to Siberia, Jack Wheeler is traveling in the Middle East, so I'm filling in on the HFR this week. Other stuff was going on in the world, but I'm focusing on you can guess what. All the bad candidates this year were Democrats. Democrat memes lost much of their potency. Democrats sounded like a party out of ideas, that has lost touch with the people, clings to power for no other reason than to use it to line their pockets. Did Democrats lose the Mandate of Heaven Tuesday? * * * * Many races were closer than they should have been because Democrats lavishly funded pseudo "Libertarian" candidates in key races. This tactic didn't work in Georgia or North Carolina, but is why Mark Begich can play <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/06/when-will-mark-begich-concede-in-alaska/">Sore Loserman</a> in Alaska, and it cost Ed Gillespie the senate seat in Virginia. If we don't do something about this, we could have big trouble in the purple states in 2016. My preferred solution - to draw and quarter the pseudo Libertarians, then boil them in oil - is, alas, impractical. * * * * Now that the midterms are over, presidential buzz begins in earnest. The <a href="http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2014/10/31/first-republican-president-debate-set-for-september-2015-n1912503">first GOP presidential debate</a> will be Sept. 16. Ugh! I have a mild preference for Scott Walker, but the possibility of an all nonwhite ticket intrigues me, if only because it would be so much fun to watch heads explode at CNN and MSNBC. * * * * The lame duck session will be an early, critical gut check for Republicans. They must try to block anything other than housekeeping measures needed to keep the government going until the new Congress convenes, because anything else Democrats try to do will be illegitimate. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/half-full-report-110714/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-7879" class="art-post art-article post-7879 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/typhoid-barry-and-the-coming-repeal-of-obamacare/" rel="bookmark" title="TYPHOID BARRY AND THE COMING REPEAL OF OBAMACARE">TYPHOID BARRY AND THE COMING REPEAL OF OBAMACARE</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="11:22 am">November 6, 2014</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jkelly/" title="View all posts by Jack Kelly">Jack Kelly</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> Every Republican who took a senate seat from a Democrat Tuesday campaigned hard for repeal of Obamacare.

No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Moslem." To be sure, it is hard to see how any human faith can countenance IS's actions. For the past several months, on a daily basis, new videos appear of IS fighters proudly, openly and wantonly committing crimes against humanity. This week for instance, a video emerged of an IS slave market in Raqqah, Syria, where women and girls are sold as sex slaves to IS fighters. Despite the glaring contradiction between divinity and monstrosity, the fact is that IS justifies every single one of its atrocities with verses from the Koran. IS referred to its sex slave market in Raqqah for instance as the "Booty Market... for what your right hands possess." The phrase "what your right hands possess" is a Koranic verse (4:3) that permits the sexual enslavement of women and girls by Moslem men. By contrast to what he says about IS, throughout his tenure in office, Obama has gone out of his way to mainstream Moslem extremists. This has taken the form of granting senior appointments to people aligned with the Moslem Brotherhood. Further, Obama has befriended radical Islamic leaders who openly support terrorism, including Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. How are we to explain this seeming anomaly? </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/what-is-or-is-not-islamic-for-obama/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-7871" class="art-post art-article post-7871 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-secret-to-improving-your-life/" rel="bookmark" title="THE SECRET TO IMPROVING YOUR LIFE">THE SECRET TO IMPROVING YOUR LIFE</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="3:04 am">November 6, 2014</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/joelwade/" title="View all posts by Dr. Joel Wade">Dr. Joel Wade</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> For decades, psychologists and social scientists have looked for ways to improve our abilities; our mental health, success, well-being, and happiness.

They have sought to understand and transform unconscious processes - or change the external "stimuli" of a person's world for the better. For a time, it was also believed that raising self-esteem would support success and personal growth across the board. None of this has panned out very well. IQ seems to be fairly constant over an individual person's lifetime. Unconscious processes are, well, <i>unconscious. </i>Criminals, it turns out, have very high self-esteem.
