Happily I’ll admit there is a remarkable and growing furor toward the Obama administration about their absolute entrenched position on pending gun ownership restrictions.    Maybe a line in the sand is visible to the Fabian Socialists, maybe.…

Rand Paul emphasizes:  “President Obama is not a king… usurpation will not be tolerated”

Mark Levin weighs in too: “The imperial presidency” (more…)

We know political whores when we see them.   But combine a “Rat Fink” with  a political whore and you get a Chuck Schumer:

Fink – (n):  A contemptible person.  An unpleasant, disappointing, or contemptible person.  To withhold promised support or participation: They said they’d help us, but then finked out.

I knew something about the multiple reports of Chuck Schumer asking retailers not to sell “assault style” rifles was not passing the sniff test.     Like a typical prog-snake in the grass aka “fink”,  and despite the numerous outlets running that story (including Associated Press), it is not on his official “Press Releases”.

WASHINGTON DC – The White House has informed House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that it will miss the legal deadline for sending a budget to Congress. […] “Late Friday evening, Deputy Director Zients confirmed that for the fourth time in five years, the president’s budget will not be submitted in compliance with the law,” the aide said.  (article)

Yet today President Obama presents his administration as concerned about the fiscal state of the union, and declares “we are not a deadbeat nation”.

The last federal budget was signed into law Sept of 2007 by President Bush.   Since then not a single day of President Obama’s term(s) in office have any accompanying budget. (more…)

(Washington Examiner)  Maryland’s largest teachers union wants school employees who aren’t members of a union to pay union fees.

Del. Sheila Hixson, D-Montgomery County, will introduce a bill on behalf of the Maryland State Education Association to require nonunion educators to pay a so-called fair share fee to unions equivalent to about 68 percent of the local dues. (more…)

We were alerted (via e-mail) to a three part video from sheriff in Kentucky who talked to a group about his opinion/plan/approach regarding federal intervention toward gun control in his county of Jackson in Kentucky.     [We’ll provide a recap video here, and links to the 3 part series after the video].

Sheriff’s opinions are of particular interest to me because they are the TOP constitutional officer in every region.   Often  I come across people who are not aware of the power of the County Sheriff.  Power bestowed upon them by the authority of their position under the U.S. Constitution.    They have far more constitutional power than judges or other elected officials;  and if needed, the country sheriff can arrest any Judge, Mayor, City Police Chief, or even the State Governor or any Federal agent who crosses the county line.  Keep that in mind when you listen to this video provided:

fyi, I keep seeing this report linked in numerous articles and media statements.  However, the Chuck Schumer site which lists ALL his press releases does not show one.

NEW YORK (AP) – Senator Charles Schumer says retailers that sell assault weapons should stop offering them for purchase while Congress discusses gun regulation legislation.

Schumer on Sunday released a letter he sent to major retailers asking for a voluntary moratorium.   The New York Democrat says consumer demand for guns has gone up in the weeks since the December mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.  Schumer says Congress is debating the issue, and if measures get passed that limit these type of weapons, it won’t help if more of them have recently been sold.

An underreported mission to rescue a French hostage in Somalia failed miserably on Friday and now the hostage is presumed to be dead. The White House says the U.S. involvement was “limited technical support” for the French against al-Shabab terrorists. Reading between the lines it appears the terms of assistance are defined due to the failure. Here is the most comprehensive information we can find:

(Associated Press) MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — The night of mayhem and death started with the sound of helicopters above pitch-black fields. When it was over, the French intelligence agent who had been held hostage for more than three years was almost certainly dead, as was at least one French commando, and the home that served as the agent’s final jail was destroyed. And now the Somalis living in the muddy farm town had new cause to fear the militants controlling their street.

It was too dark to see beyond the brief glow of flashlights, but noise was everywhere, said Ali Bulhan, who woke up when the earth started vibrating to the beat of the helicopter rotors. And the flashlights were abruptly extinguished when the French soldiers shot the Somalis who had turned them on to see what was happening in their town in the dead of night, said town elder Hussein Yasin.
