Here we go again. The White House is, once again, complaining about the sequester. John Podesta, the chief adviser to President Barack Obama, wrote an op-ed at the Washington Post, in which he urged Congress to roll back cuts to the rate of spending increases over the next decade.

Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) had been in office for less than two months when she, in February 2009, cast the deciding vote for President Obama's wasteful $830 billion stimulus bill. After the passage of the measure, the North Carolina Democrat blasted out a press release to spin her vote stating that "this legislation delivers on our simple promise to change the way things work in Washington -- for working families and not for special interests."

President Barack Obama believes that if he repeats the lie often enough, people will start to believe it. He's made endless overtures in which he repeats the refrain that ObamaCare is "working pretty well in the real world."

Earlier this week, Wal-Mart announced that it would no longer offer health insurance coverage to some 30,000 employees who work less than 30 hours a week. The move was necessary, the big box retailer said, due to rising healthcare costs, which have exploded this year from the February estimate of $330 million to $500 million, largely because of ObamaCare.

Wal-Mart has joined the ranks of employers that have been forced to drop health insurance for some 30,000 part-time workers, according to a report from the Associated Press. The big box retailer -- which has struggled with sales and recently lowered its profit forecast for the year -- made the move to adjust to rising healthcare costs under ObamaCare:

Senate Democrats recently tried to push through a constitutional amendment that would have repealed free speech protections in the First Amendment, making Congress the sole arbiter of what is and isn't political speech. Thankfully, this effort, backed by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) failed to get the two-thirds needed for a constitutional majority, killing the proposed amendment for the remainder of the 113th Congress.

Lois Lerner really doesn't want to answer questions about her role in the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative and Tea Party organizations. The former head of the powerful tax agency's Exempt Organization Division refused to testify in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in May 2013, invoking her Fifth Amendment rights.

Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) has gone on record, once again, saying that he would he vote for ObamaCare all over again, if he had the chance. Not that it was ever in question, given that the Colorado Democrat has voted with his party 98 percent of the time.
