YES, THE $3,000 SCHUMER-RUBIO PENALTY on hiring

YES, THE $3,000 SCHUMER-RUBIO PENALTY on hiring Americans does exist. And you can bet that employers will be quick to take advantage of it....

ADDED: Democrat Senators should try reading the bills they write before they vote on them. (Barbara Boxer, excuse me, Senator Barbara Boxer, would have to have it read to her....)

NO KIDDING.

NO KIDDING.

You can say the same for the entire political class. "We, the people" are just a means to their end.

MOVE UP: In the Obama administration

FUCK UP, MOVE UP: In the Obama administration, failure is the quickest route to promotion.

IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL PASSES SENATE. Republicans: "So what?"

DEMOCRATS: First it was "You didn't build that"; now it's "You can't keep that". It must really hurt their feelings to find out that the average consumer isn't as stupid as the average Democrat.

NEW BUILDING BLOCKS for 2-D circuits. In the long run, you could be wearing your computer rather than carrying it. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'pocket computer'.

READY, SET, PANIC: More than a quarter of young people don’t think the price of health insurance is worth it.

If only their progressive elders were half as smart....

AWESOME AIRCRAFT from the Paris Air Show.

76% OF AMERICANS are living paycheck-to-paycheck. No surprise. You need only read the comments to understand why. It isn't poverty.

JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME: PayPal goes galactic.

FIVE SIGNS Obama is losing control. Here's a sixth.

THE IRS, OBAMACARE, AND YOU.

Only ... where are you? And your doctor?

Nowhere in the chart do the words doctor or patient appear—as clear a sign as any that ObamaCare is not about health care; it’s about government power.

More about the IRS, ObamaCare and You here, here, here, and here.

FAILURE DENIERS: Climate Change and Public-Sector Science.

If a new idea or product is failing or initially seems destined to fail, bureaucrats, their corporate beneficiaries, and their cronies work to get them underwritten or subsidized. The fact that the government is even involved likely indicates that the private sector knows better than to touch it without putting taxpayers on the hook. This explains why the Obama administration has had losers like Solyndra, A123 Battery, Beacon Power, and so many others in its energy “loan” portfolio.

And in his Georgetown University speech, Obama just 'doubled down' on failure.

SLATE: Why White People Don't Feel Black People's Pain. So George Zimmerman, a 'white Hispanic' who is "8 times as black as [Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth] Warren is Native American" is now a 'white person'?

Having been discovered, the racist Left is in full attack mode.

THE WEEK IN PICTURES. Here's a sample:

BLUE STATE MAYOR bolts from Bloomberg’s anti-gun crusade.

I was amused by Mayor Morrissey's "police can't be everywhere" comment. He's right. In Mayor Bloomberg's America, they're busy providing security details for bigwigs.

DUMBOCRAT DEMOCRAT WANTS TO amend the immigration bill to allow 'stateless people' in the U.S. to seek conditional lawful status if their nations have been made uninhabitable by climate change.

There oughta be a law against aggravated aggravating stupidity.

MICHAEL WALSH: What is it you [the Obama administration] want us [conservatives] to do? Right: die.

IT'S OKAY to be homophobic if you're a member of the Angry Left.

HOW CRAZY ARE DEMOCRATS? Tea Party Republicans are more of a threat than al Qaeda.
