SEAN HANNITY

Obama's stimulus 2.0 While his weakness on the world stage is on display, this week Barack Obama unveiled his latest domestic budget proposal. While it is almost assuredly dead on arrival, it still gives us some insight into Obama's priorities. Essentially what Obama proposed was a second round of stimulus spending. His total budget proposal is almost $4 trillion. In 2015 alone, spending would increase by $55 billion. According to the Senate Budget Committee, spending would increase 63% from today's levels. Obama's budget would never balance. Ever! Within ten years, our national debt would grow to $25 trillion, from the current $17.3 trillion. While increasing the size and scope of government, Obama also wants to increase taxes. He's proposed over $1 trillion in tax increases, in addition to the $1.7 trillion he's already raised taxes. Meanwhile, he wants to cut military spending but then spend $1 billion on a climate change fund. Obama's budget reflects a failed liberal ideology of bigger government and higher taxes. America's Energy Solution There's no doubt that American foreign policy over the last few years has projected weakness. That is one of the only explanations as to why Putin feels he can get away with his current antics in Ukraine. Now the United States is stumbling over itself, forced to react to Putin on his terms. Yesterday, Russia test-fired an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. While this was a pre-planned test, the timing could hardly have been worse. Tensions are running high as Russian forces have seized control of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and the world is attempting to figure out how to punish Putin and force a retreat. However according to analysts and former Obama administration officials, "Russia is unlikely to pull back its military forces in Ukraine's Crimean peninsula." If that is truly the case, how is the going to change the future geopolitical landscape? If Hillary Clinton is correct in equating Putin's actions with that of Hitler before WWII, are we seeing the pieces of a very dangerous puzzle begin to come together? Meanwhile, Russian spy planes are apparently flying along the coast of the Black Sea, causing the Turkish Air Force to scramble its own fighter jets in response. Despite our clearly-failed Russian reset, we have the potential to have a bigger card to play in this hand, but we are too dumb to use it. Energy - oil, natural gas, fracking - is something that we shouldn't just be considering, but it's something we should already be exploring on a nation-wide level and here's why...(continued) >>TV Tonight (10PM ET on Fox News) Tonight former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani reacts to the Senate's decision to block the Adegbile nomination.
