The executive branch has the authority to enforce border and visa security. But these days, it appears the executive branch, particularly the Department of Homeland Security, doesn't want to do the job.Until it does, there will be no immigration reform.

COMCAST CABLE bans all firearms and ammunition advertisers. While I'm not exactly overwhelmed by Verizon's FIOS service, I'm glad I switched. Comcast can now quit begging me to return.
PROSECUTOR SEEKS DEATH PENALTY for Punxsutawney Phil.
It's a joke, people. But I still like the idea of prosecuting the media for over-hyping every progressive doom-merchant.

THE HIGH COSTS of Medicare’s low prices. It's not just Medicare, and it's the entire medical 'industry' -- politicians, pharmacuticals, insurers, hospitals, and doctors -- that have driven costs through the roof.
Two quick personal examples. I recently went to have my teeth cleaned and check out a new dental practice for future business. They refused to do the cleaning until I had a 'comprehensive dental examination'. I walked out. The last time I went to my family physician to have my blood pressure medications renewed, he insisted I have a complete physical, including an electrocardiagram and prostate exam. I'm now looking for another physician.
It seems to me that I should have some say in what medical/dental/etc. procedures I need and am willing to pay for. But this is paid by your insurance, they claim. So what? Shouldn't I get a say in what medical procedures are inflicted on me? And what if I don't have insurance? Must I go without if I can only pay for the things I think are necessary?

THOSE 'AFFORDABLE' CARE ACT taxes I posted about here won't be imposed just on the rich; we'll all pay. And they're only the tip of the iceberg; imagine how much more will be required for the government to 'administer' ObamaCare.
CVS TO EMPLOYEES: reveal personal health information -- or pay a penalty. Generally I like CVS, and have used their local pharmacy for at least the last ten years. But if this holds up, I will seriously consider moving my business to another pharmacy chain.
