(Via Daily Caller) President Barack Obama’s regulatory czar Cass Sunstein is resigning his  position in the Obama administration, the White House announced on Friday.

Sunstein, until now the administrator of the Office of Management and  Budget’s powerful Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, will return to  Harvard Law School to resume the position he held before he joined Obama’s  administration three and a half years ago. He will be Harvard’s Felix  Frankfurter Professor of Law and Director of the Program on Behavioral Economics  and Public Policy. (more…)

The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state controlled police and the military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy… If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government—and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws.

Yesterday Mitt Romney was endorsed by former Polish Solidarity leader Lech Walesa.

Today the Iranian regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threw his support behind President Obama.   Yep, pretty much sums up the choice right there. (more…)

Something several weeks ago snagged my interest when I was reading an article about Olympic security being provided by a private company called G4S.   Over the past decade London has become the PC capitol of all things Islam.   It really is quite over-the-top.

Aptly nicknamed “Londonistan” by those who have watched the British Police being cursed at, spit upon, and forced to tolerate the most horrific physical and verbal assaults by entities of Muslim persuasion, who exhibit the most horrid of violent radical islamic tendencies.   Several recent examples have been cited over the year.

So the concern that struck a nerve for me was given the backdrop of politically correct fear would radical elements of Islam be able to infiltrate the security apparatus around the Olympic venue(s).   And, if so, is it worrisome that a Fort Hood style coordinated extremist attack would be possible.

Recently I read more articles about how short staffed the security contingents were and how they are being supported with 4,500 regular uniformed British Military soldiers.  Given the comments by Mitt Romney to this regard it seemed as if my concern was more than a little over worried paranoia on my part.  But still, probably nothing.

However, it is indeed a fact that London is infected with the Cultural Marxism of political correctness.  So a modicum of concern is not out-of-bounds given the shere magnitude of the security task being handled.   When I read this today, my spidey senses picked up a bit too, and I wonder if…..

LONDON OLYMPICS – An Olympic guard faces the sack for spitting at an Army hero drafted in to  boost security — and yelling: “Baby killer.”  The Asian G4S worker flipped as he patrolled an archery contest at Lord’s  cricket ground with the Afghan veteran.

A source said: “This security guard was ranting and raving at the soldier.  “He was trying to defuse the situation but the guard was going crazy. He spat  at the soldier and screamed at him. He was calling him a baby killer.

“He left the soldier in no doubt he meant he’d been responsible for children’s  deaths while serving in Afghanistan.

“Despite the provocation, the soldier remained ice cool and didn’t lose his  calm. (more…)

First The White House, well, more specifically President Obama uses an executive order, intentionally non-reported by the media, to give the DHS full control over all privately owned communication networks nationally.  Cell phone, internet, and land based telecommunications.

Then the White House authorizes, (again by non-media reported executive order) the regime enforcement branch (DHS) to use military spy drones for use in all areas of ‘national importance’ to enforce “citizen safety“.

Following, and in preparation for, the regime enforcement branch (DHS) orders 450 million, yes million, hollowpoint bullets.     While ammunition itself seems not too unreasonable of a request by a major federal entity that emphasizes domestic durability and safeguarding the country from coast to coast, the choice — and quantity — of its hollow point order raises a lot of questions about future plans for the DHS.

ATK says they won their contract with the US government by being able to provide them with 450 million HST bullets, which it describes as “the next generation in high performance duty ammunition.”

What does that mean, exactly? On their website, the contractor claims that the ammunition is specifically designed so that it can pass through a variety of obstructions and offers “optimum penetration for terminal performance.” Or, in other words, this is the kind of bullet designed to stop any object dead in its tracks and, if emptied into the hands of the DHS a few hundred million times, just might do as much.

The regime then quietly (february) demands a control enforcement mechanism nullifying the 2nd Amendment in any proximity to a federal government official.  –  The US House of Representatives voted 388-to-3 in favor of H.R. 347  (Feb) a bill which is being dubbed the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011.

Not content with controlling donut, soft drink, salt and slurpee consumption,  New York Mayor Bloomberg shifts his focus to things of a more, well, personal nature when he proclaimed – “Hospitals Should Lock Up Baby Formula To Force Women To Breastfeed”.

New Yorkistan City – Starting Sept. 3, the city will keep tabs on the number of bottles that  participating hospitals stock and use — the most restrictive pro-breast-milk  program in the nation.

Under the city Health Department’s voluntary Latch On NYC initiative, 27 of  the city’s 40 hospitals have also agreed to give up swag bags sporting  formula-company logos, toss out formula-branded tchotchkes like lanyards and  mugs, and document a medical reason for every bottle that a newborn  receives.

The Jackboots are coming !

The ATF’s Fast & Furious scandal has now led to Eric Holder being the first Attorney General ever found in contempt of Congress.  However, had it not been for whistle-blowers, the ATF’s arming of Mexican drug cartels would probably still be a secret.

Now a video memo from ATF boss Todd Jones has been leaked to the public by an unknown ATF employee. The video shows Todd Jones threatening agents not to go outside the chain of command.

Jones states, ” if you don’t find the appropriate way to raise your concerns to your leadership, there will be consequences.” Congressman Chuck Grassley sent Todd Jones a letter saying that the statement *”appears to be a threat” against potential whistle-blowers.

*Appears to be?  Appears to be?   I would love to get Zurich Mikes’ opinion on this policy implementation video from a Compliance Officer’s perspective.

There are many administration claims that I shake my head when I hear, but this one is perhaps the worst.   It is a complete and utter fallacy to proclaim President Obama’s foreign policy has been even remotely successful.   This is just freestyle off the top of my head, but consider: 

Iran has slaughtered the freedom movement; is now almost in possession of a nuclear weapon, and is now in possession of Top Secret drone technology.   China is test launching ICBM’s from the coastal area of Los Angeles and has formed an alliance with Russia and Euro-asia, not to mention contracts with Canada for energy resources.   Vladimir Putin openly mocks and belittles President Obama in front of Global Allies.    Al-Qaeda is surging in the middle east: Yemen is gone, Egypt is under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood, Libya is controlled by radical Islamists and the al-Qaeda flag flies atop the courthouses in Tripoli and Benghazi.   North Africa is in terroristic turmoil.   Israel is isolated.   Turkey has done a 180 degree turn back to radical Islam.  al shabbab has sent operatives from North Africa into the United States via Mexico.   Obama mocks Netanyahu openly in France to Sarkozy, and France coincidently elects a Socialist.    North Korea is test firing Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, and has openly engaged heavy artillery fire against South Korea our ally, who we just signed a trade agreement with.  Coptic Christians are being killed in Egypt.   Afghanistan’s President calls our troops on their soil the scourge upon their nation.  Pakistan has become openly hostile to the West and radical Islamists now make decisions.  Chile and Brazil are drilling in the Gulf of Mexico while we refuse to explore and actually ban our own U.S interest companies to drill.   The EU has openly laughed in the face of Timothy Geithner as he attempted to influence European budget reform.  Thousands of tons of chemical and biological weapons are missing from Egypt, Libya and Syria.  At least 20,000 surface to air missiles are now in the hands of AQNA and AQAP.    300 US Marines were sent to Uganda to capture “General Kony” of the Lords Resistance Army, for what? – um, err, FAIL.  I could go on……. but  I think you get the point….. 

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama trumpeted his foreign policy record on Monday, telling a convention of veterans that his administration has spearheaded a “new era of American leadership” that has made the U.S. “safer and stronger and more respected in the world.” (more…)

“The rich should pay their fair share.” 
…”when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”
“Nobody’s ideas or effort are really that much more innately valuable than that of their peers. You can, however, use your abilities to steal that much money.”
”The central lie here being getting rich through hard, honest work. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten rich without the determination of screwing other people out of their money.”
