Connect the dots…..  “Operation Blackjack”  Tick tock, tick tock…

We just share – You Decide [Quickly Please]

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.

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.

I’ve got two words for this pontificator in Chief and they ain’t “Merry Christmas”…

Barack Obama lectured supporters on economics and entrepreneurship last night in Roanoke, Virginia. He told the crowd, “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”   Really? 

White House – There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.) (more…)

We have pointed out for a while how similar the United States circa 2012 is to the considerations of the Polish people circa 1983.   Decision Time.
Two brave men memorialized in history yesterday with a new statue symbolizing freedom.
The Herald Sun reported:  POLISH officials have unveiled a statue of former President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, honouring two men widely credited in this Eastern European country with helping to topple communism 23 years ago.
The statue was unveiled in Gdansk, the birthplace of Lech Walesa’s Solidarity movement, in the presence of about 120 former Solidarity activists, many of whom were imprisoned in the 1980s for their roles in organising or taking part in strikes against the communist regime.
The bronze statue, erected in the lush seaside President Ronald Reagan Park, is a slightly larger-than-life rendering of the two late leaders.
It was inspired by an Associated Press photograph taken in 1987 on John Paul’s second pontifical visit to the US. (more…)

A person who holds prog beliefs is, in my opinion, the lowest, most despicable, most dishonest, and most intellectually defunct form of personage ever.   The very essence of a prog is antithetical to foundational American principles and values.
Progs are ideologically indoctrinated early on in life to believe that “they” are what matters by pontificating and condescending parents who think their belief system is the only one of true value or measure.
After a few years of participating in everyone is equal, everyone gets a trophy for participation–regardless of contribution–type youth group stupidity, the little Dr Spock puppets multiply like gremlins dropped in the ocean.

Embedded, indoctrinated, and reinforced superiority from birth to adolescence creates an irreversible hybrid DNA strand.    They spew their pontificating airs-and-graces of how Corporations suck, capitalism is horrid, but don’t you dare take away the Mac-Books or I-Phones.   Insufferable.   Everything about a prog’s logic, thought, or moral superiority is hypocritical–everything.

Many people continuing to absorb the recent SCOTUS Healthcare ObamaNation… A few questions pass through my own personal mind:  
FIRST – If the healthcare insurance “mandate” is an allowable, albeit unavoidable, taxation passed on citizens regardless of their economic inactivity then what happens to all those “waivers” granted?   A non-congressional federal department, in this case HHS, cannot lawfully “waiver” taxation?
SECOND – If the first dime of healthcare coverage is now considered taxation, because the first moment of non-engagement in activity is considered taxable, then all healthcare premium expenditures are taxes and therefore automatically deducted from taxable income right?   I mean the only way to collect the taxation is through employment activity, ie. income, and if income expenditures on healthcare coverage are now considered taxes, then they should be deductible from income from the first dime.  No?
(Economist)  AS PETER SUDERMAN of Reason put it, “Some coup”. The individual mandate passes constitutional muster after all. Crisis of legitimacy averted! Akhil Reed Amar’s life has not been a fraud!
However, according to the majority decision by John Roberts, the Supreme Court’s conservative chief justice, the mandate cannot be justified on commerce-clause grounds. Indeed, Mr Roberts wholly affirms the argument that the commerce clause cannot regulate economic inactivity. From the syllabus of the decision: (more…)

Many people have wondered what President Obama specifically meant in Tucson Arizona when he called his supporters toward a “New Civility“, a “New Tone”…. 
 Now we know.   All you need to do is CLICK HERE to witness first hand.

A friendly reminder of Civics 101 for the Democrats who visit this site

The role of the Executive Branch is to “ENFORCE” existing laws.   ENFORCE THEM not determine which should be enforced and which should not based on political ideology.   Constitutionally, President Obama cannot just pick and choose which laws to carry out because he personally doesn’t like them. 
The fundamental aspects of Arizona’s SB1070 immigration bill were upheld in a Supreme Court Decision today, delivering another substantial blow to the White House and President Obama.
But what President Obama did in response to his defeat today is once again reflective of how petulent and childish this community organizer is.   How this man-child ever made it to hold the office of chief executive is beyond my comprehension.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer celebrated the Supreme Court’s ruling Monday on her state’s tough immigration law, calling the court’s decision a “victory for the rule of law.” (more…)

The truth of the matter is that, as I said, we created 4.3 million jobs over the last 27 months, over 800,000 just this year alone.

Unless President Obama is attempting to re-write the laws of economics, the government “we” did not create a single job.   Employers do.

The private sector is doing fine.

Really?   Tell that to the thousands of businesses closing, the millions of homeowners being foreclosed upon and the 23 million unemployed or underemployed who have been eating Ramen noodles for too long. (more…)

In honor of our many wonderful Texans who frequent, and greatly enliven this site, we are choosing the great state of Texas as the next in our American Puzzle Pieces series. To refresh your memory, we started this series because we who live scattered across America have come together here, united by beliefs and values we share, by concerns for the future and direction of our country. We enjoy each other, learn a little, share some humor and a beer or two from a Texas sized cooler, manned by our own WeeWeed. To date, I have written articles on a couple of states I have called home, and Pat gave a great feature on Michigan. Sadly, tragically, I have never visited Texas. However, with all the attention given the Lonestar State after Rick Perry’s hat toss, we have wanted to show our appreciation for our Texans, so I have decided to make them work. Being Texans, I just don’t think they will care. (more…)
