Project Gunwalker / Fast and Furious - great video




The American Future Fund has produced a video calling for answers and accountability in the Obama Administration's coverup of the ATF operation that allowed over 2000 weapons to be purchased illegally and then transported across the border into Mexico, purportedly to track them to the bosses of the drug cartels.  Nothing was ever tracked and two of these weapons were used in the shootout that killed Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Hundreds have been killed in Mexico with these weapons and who knows how many more will die going forward.  Please watch this video and share it with everyone.

Hat tip to the American Future Fund - excellent work!

What do you expect from Maryland?


 

Election Law Center - Dead Voters in Maryland



Maryland is an overwhelmingly Democrat state ~ this information should come as no surprise!  The question remains - how widespread is the corruption of the voter roles? When is the U.S. Justice Department going to mount an investigation - right after they investigate the voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia in 2008?

A Letter from David Axelrod

I received an email from David Axelrod today, telling me all about the Prez's plans for the future, plans that he outlined in his speech in Ohio yesterday. Here are the proposals and my comments (in bold italics):


    - Better Education: We need to invest in good teachers and help more students go to college and get job training -- not pack kids into classrooms and slash scholarships. ... ah, that word 'invest' - he means more taxes, taxes that will hire teachers who will be forced to join the union and pay union dues, dues that are used to help re-elect him and more of his leftist ilk. And class size isn't the problem, it's discipline. My grade school classes had 50+ kids and every one went on to graduate high school and most graduated college as well.  The good Sisters of Saint Joseph kept a close eye on all of us.


    - More, Cleaner Energy: We need to invest in promising new sources of energy to create a market for innovation and good jobs of the future -- not go back to relying on foreign oil. ... more tax dollars going to his big donors via this slush fund known as green energy.  Markets are not created by government programs, they are created by demand. Who's talking foreign oil? We have plenty here - we just have to drill for it onshore as well as offshore, which can be accomplished safely. And what is wrong with oil in the first place? It is a remarkably diverse resource, the starting point for so many important and innovative products.


    - Leading Through Innovation: We need to invest in our best scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs so they innovate here -- not cede new ideas to countries like China and India. Invest in our best scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs... what the hell does that mean? Innovation will blossom when you get the regulatory jackboot off the throat of American business, starting with the EPA.


    - Job-Creating Infrastructure: We need roads, bridges, ports, and broadband technology that attract businesses that will create jobs here -- not more pet projects and bridges to nowhere. Does he mean pet projects like Solyndra? And infrastructure.... federal contracting is in dire need of streamlining.  Minority participation, LEED environmental requirements, and other set-asides have driven up the cost of these projects astronomically without achieving the desired results. Shell companies are used to fulfill the minority requirements, which just adds another layer of costs to the supply chain. It's a system that stinks of crony capitalism.


    - Fair, Simple Tax Reform: We need to reward businesses that create jobs here instead of rewarding outsourcing, and must ask the wealthiest to pay their fair share again -- not sacrifice investments critical to the middle class. ... make no mistake, the middle class is the target of the tax increases he wants. Even if he taxed the 'wealthiest' at 100%, he couldn't raise enough money. It has to come from the middle class. The language is class warfare, pure and simple.

The Usual Unequal Treatment

I'm sure you'll remember Al Armendariz - the EPA regional administrator who made the comment about 'crucifying' oil and gas executives to make examples of them, much like the Romans crucified their enemies. He was forced to resign.  Now we hear that a North Carolina man was visited by armed agents from the EPA .... yes, the Environmental Protection Agency, for requesting the contact information for Armendariz.

First of all, why the hell does the EPA have armed agents??? Something is wrong right there. There is absolutely no need for it - this country already has too many different law enforcement entities .I was in downtown Washington, DC recently and noticed that the Government Printing Office has its own police force. Please... the GPO? What's next? I'm afraid to speculate because whatever agency I mention probably has a police force already.

But I digress. Getting back to the visit by the EPA jackboots - this gentleman, Larry Keller, wanted Crucify Al's contact information so he could say hello. From the report on Fox News:
The agents visited Keller's home in Ashville, N.C. on May 2 to ask him about the email, which after some misunderstanding Keller acknowledged sending. He said after a brief, tense discussion about whether the missive might seem suspicious, the agents, who were escorted by the local police, left despite Keller ask them to stay to his wife could witness their visit.
 "The charter of the EPA is to protect the environment and public, not to act as a quasi federal police department," Keller said Saturday.
Today we come to find out that HBO used the likeness of former President George W. Bush as the decapitated head on a stake in it's series "Game of Thrones"

So.... when will the Secret Service be visiting the creators of this series over at offices of HBO?  Don't hold your breath

The Toronto Mall Shooting- Four Tips for Surviving the Active Shooter

Excellent information - as always, have a plan! Think - what am I going to do if this happens to me? Even the most basic plan, rehearsed in your head a few times, will be better than most everybody else in the crowd. When you go to the mall, to the convenience store, the movies, anywhere.... take a moment to review what you would do in this venue "if".... it could save your life.

Mayor Bonaparte...aahhh... Bloomberg

It's not about safety..... it's not about reducing crime..... NYC Mayor Bloomberg has a personal fortune that would allow him to buy just about anything he could ever want, except power and the control that comes with it.. This little man with the Napoleon complex wants to make subjects out of citizens, and isn't happy with keeping it just in New York City. He is an angry zealot obsessed with denying people their God-given right to self defense, the ultimate power grab.
