Numbers Aren’t Adding Up for ObamaCare By Arnold Ahlert

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/arnold-ahlert/numbers-arent-adding-up-for-obamacare/print/ The Obama administration did its best to inflate the number of ObamaCare enrollees yesterday, but it’s clear even the administration’s most vigorous efforts have fallen painfully short. The initial announcement made at 3:30 p.m. EST revealed that 106,185 people nationwide had “selected” an ObamaCare health insurance plan. The word “selected” is critical here, because the administration was forced […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD: IF YOU LIKE YOUR FOOD YOU CAN KEEP YOUR FOOD

The price of a pound of potatoes has gone up by a third, the price of a gallon of milk has increased by a fifth and the price of a 5lb bag of flour has gone up by a dollar. Bacon was at $3.60 a lb […]

Think ObamaCare Is Bad Now? It Gets Worse Next Year : Betsy McCaughey ****

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/think-obamacare-is-bad-now-it-gets-worse-next-year?f=puball ‘Substandard” and “cut-rate” is what President Obama calls the health plans that millions of Americans have lost, even though they wanted to keep them. Backpedaling on his promise that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” Obama is now telling Americans another whopper: The insurance they can get on ObamaCare exchanges is […]

Obama’s Gettysburg Bypass Lincoln’s View of Individual Freedom is at Odds With the Current President’s: Dan Henninger

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303289904579195993572716498?mod=WSJ_Opinion_BelowLEFTSecond The White House recently whispered out the back door that President Obama would not appear in Pennsylvania next Tuesday at the ceremonies for the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. The political betting had been that this was a big-speech venue whose glow Mr. Obama would not want to miss. The higher-road expectation […]

Nazi Art Spurs Search Into Family Histories- Ellen Gammerman and Kelly Crow

Emerging Details Give Heirs Who Thought Works Were Lost Long-Awaited Evidence

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303559504579196291106825648?mod=WSJ_hpsMIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsSecond

Martha Hinrichsen got a call last week she thought she’d never receive: Within a vast trove of recovered wartime art, German authorities had found a drawing records show belonged to her Jewish grandfather.

Now the 65-year-old retired music publisher is one of many heirs of Holocaust victims who are digging through yellowed files and painful family histories to research potential claims to the cache of Nazi-confiscated art.

“Who would ever think I’d need to go back through all this?” Ms. Hinrichsen said of the onionskin invoices and letters that make up 75 trunkloads of family archives she keeps in a storage locker two miles from her home in Southbury, Conn.

Since 1945, she said her family had worked steadily to successfully reclaim their ornate, three-story home in Leipzig as well as their music-publishing business, which were confiscated by the Nazis during the war from her Jewish grandfather, Henri Hinrichsen. But the case of his still-missing art had grown cold until a friend told her she had read about the lost drawing, by 19th-century German artist Carl Spitzweg.

As details have emerged in the past week about the roughly 1,400-piece collection found in a Munich apartment, descendants of collectors and ordinary citizens who lost art during World War II were stunned to hear that pieces they thought were forever gone still existed. Some, who have been fighting for decades to reclaim art lost to the Nazis, now have the concrete evidence that they’ve been waiting for.

JOHN REDWOOD M.P.: THE EU’S CLIMATE AGENDA COSTS US DEAR IN ENERGY PRICES

http://www.thecommentator.com/article/4353/the_eu_s_climate_change_agenda_costs_us_dear_in_energy_prices Politicians have assumed that most people in the EU agree with global warming theory. They have assumed that people will therefore buy into the “solution”, burning less fossil fuel, and paying extra for this Europe has a problem. Dear energy makes European industry much less competitive, at a time when Asia is challenging and […]
