And they call it, “medical homelessness” … While open enrollment for coverage under the Affordable Care Act is closed, many of the newly insured are finding they can’t find doctors, landing them into a state described as “medical homelessness.” Rotacare, a free clinic for the uninsured in Mountain View, is dealing with the problem firsthand. Mirella Nguyen works at the clinic said staffers dutifully helped uninsured clients sign up for

CA Gov Jerry Brown’s ‘prison realignment’ racks up more victims [Darleen Click]
Here’s just another example in the long line of “non-violent offenders” being released from state prison under AB109. A man on probation as a “non-violent offender” under California’s prison realignment program has been charged with kidnapping, raping, and torturing a 16-year-old girl in South Los Angeles, and detectives suspect he may be connected to three other recent murders. Robert L. Ranson, 30, was arrested in late March after the girl

Pethokoukis: “Jacking up investment taxes to reduce income inequality is a bad idea”
Me: no shit.* A million economic monkeys banging away on a million Keynesian typewriters. That’s the only way an idea like this can be produced. Because it’s certainly not the product of anything sentient.

BREAKING: “Obama administration delays Keystone XL decision, potentially until after Nov. elections”
Just like he pushed back a number of ObamaCare provisions until after the elections in order to shield vulnerable Democrats. Here’s the blunt truth that leftist apologists will never admit: Obama knows Obamacare is a coup, a wedge that effectively eviscerates individual rights and, perhaps too, religious freedom; Obama knows that domestic energy production drives down costs, increases industry, frees up capital, and allows people to escape from governmental dependency.

“A Trillion Dollars Later, Obama Warns of ‘Potholes the Size of Canyons'”
Which, it’s probably a good idea to “invest” in our infrastructure, say, by way of some stimulus money, which will create shovel-ready jobs. Sounds crazy, I know, but it could work. Think of all the unemployed who would benefit. Not to mention that we’d be adding value to our federal real estate, which is the patriotic thing to do, is it not? Now. Who’s with me? President Obama has been

“‘We may never know’: Census changes may obscure impact of ObamaCare”
Most transparent administration ever. Redux. Not even the nation’s official head-counter will be able to keep track of the comprehensive impact of ObamaCare, critics warn. The Census Bureau is in the midst of significantly changing its survey questions on health care, which some fear will make it difficult to give an accurate reading of how many people have gained insurance under the law. The change was first reported by The

“Liberty Movement Rising”
Nothing here will be very new to longtime readers of this site, but it’s nice to hear it coming from other online sources, particularly those who have not yet been effectively marginalized by those who worked so diligently to label this site, early on in the Obama administration, unhelpful and “fringe.” The home of a delusional provocateur and pseudo-intellectual whose message, a “fundamentally unserious” one, wouldn’t resonate with the dull

“Jews ordered to register in east Ukraine”
Too bad it isn’t illegals they’re ordering to register. Otherwise, we might be able to get our government to condemn this. And actually mean it. USA Today: Jews in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk where pro-Russian militants have taken over government buildings were told they have to “register” with the Ukrainians who are trying to make the city become part of Russia, according to Ukrainian and Israeli media. Jews

“86M Full-Time Private-Sector Workers Sustain 148M Benefit Takers”
Once too many people learn they can vote themselves other people’s money / labor / liberty, well… CNS: Buried deep on the website of the U.S. Census Bureau is a number every American citizen, and especially those entrusted with public office, should know. It is 86,429,000. That is the number of Americans who in 2012 got up every morning and went to work — in the private sector — and

Next plank in “environmental” social engineering movement is being laid
And who better to throw out this particular trial balloon than Think Progress. “Why Air Pollution Is A Racial Issue“: A study produced by the University of Minnesota concluded that race is a determining factor in who is most affected by air pollution. Specifically, non-white people breathe air that is substantially more polluted than the air that white people breathe. According to Julian Marshall, who led the University’s research, race
