Supreme Court confirms health care law UNCONSTITUTIONAL

“We the People” ask this Court to extend their session, and immediately set a special date within the next thirty-five days for re-argument
How did over twenty Attorneys General overlook this? Judge Roger Vinson, Chief Judge of the District Court for the Northern District of Florida, addressed the legislative history of the Act, HR3590. Both sides of the controversy asked him to. Vinson found that the bill originated in the US Senate. See, Florida v. U.S. Department of Health & Human Service, –F. Supp. 2d—, 2011 WL285683 (ND) Fla. 2011. The House of Representatives were amending a Senate Bill, since it was found to have originated in the Senate. . .
By law, as confirmed by the dissenting Judges [see quote above]. only the House of Representatives may originate a revenue raising “Act.” The House accepted the Senate bill unlawfully, for expediency, independent of any written House Bill.

The real reason Chief Justice John Roberts changed his opinion at the last minute

Constitutional attorney/author/talk show host Mark Levin just now stated on his show today that he has "no doubt" that Chief Justice John Roberts changed his opinion at the "11th hour".

He is not the only one who holds this opinion.

Sen. Mike Lee: There are “signals” that Roberts changed his Obamacare vote

But what could possibly have caused a Chief Justice to turn on a dime in such a supremely [pun intended] important decision?

I would expect that an epiphany would be cause for great delight since I personally have always welcomed a sudden rush of insight or inspiration in my life. However,
CNN's top legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin re-emerged from the court with a strange tweet about the state of Chief Justice John Roberts when he read today's ruling in favor of upholding President Barack Obama's signature healthcare legislation:
"Roberts was red-eyed and unhappy as he read."
So he changed his opinion at the last minute and he was unhappy?

Has anyone ever heard of the word "duress"?

I can think of one judge, in recent history, who was under duress:
U.S. marshals put Roll, who was appointed to the federal bench by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, under 24-hour protection for about a month. They guarded his home in a secluded area just outside Tucson, screening his mail and escorting him to court, to the gym and even to Mass.

Roll told the Post in May 2009 that "any judge who goes through this knows it's a stressful situation" and that he and his family were grateful for the protection.

More than a year after the threats against Roll, Arizona passed what is considered the nation's toughest immigration law, triggering a fierce national debate over illegal immigration and a lawsuit against the state by the Justice Department.
Slain federal judge John Roll was at the center of Arizona's immigration debate

But more than that, I can think of MANY people who have possibly suffered duress by having a relationship with Barack Hussein Obama:

"Crossing Obama Can Be Deadly"

This is the source of the previous link, but it now has two new entries: "Dead Pool"

There is big, international (think "George Soros") money behind Obama (or else Hillary would have been president) and so what do we all know about something this big?

That NOTHING will stand in the way, nothing can compete with such power and with that much money.

Yes, we have Biblical examples of truth to power -- David & Goliath for one -- but will WE be able to get back on the right side, on G-d's side in time?

OBAMACARE: 21 TAX INCREASES (12 ON FAMILIES EARNING LESS THAN $250,000 PER YEAR)

The Washington Times:
The high court’s ruling leaves in place 21 tax increases in the health-care law costing more than $675 billion over the next 10 years, according to the House Ways and Means Committee. Of those, 12 tax hikes would affect families earning less than $250,000 per year, the panel said, including a “Cadillac tax” on high-cost insurance plans, a tax on insurance providers, and an excise tax on medical device manufacturers.

“This is a clear violation of the president’s pledge to avoid tax hikes on low- and middle-income taxpayers,” said a statement from the panel, which is chaired by Rep. Dave Camp, Michigan Republican.
On the campaign trail four years ago and since taking office, Mr. Obama has been fond of saying that middle-class families will not see their taxes rise “a single dime” under his leadership.

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell.

While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for.

The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars, so she writes him a check.

Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.

When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.

The devil smiles and replies, "Since Obama took over, the country has gone to hell, so it's a local call."

“Michael Moore makes $30 million a year, $40 million a year, but he’s part of the 99 percenters? Now he has to keep up that façade,” Carolla said.

“So he has to show up wearing the ball cap and the t-shirt, because if he ever shows up with a top hat and a monocle, he’s going to be tossed out of his club. … They all do the same thing.”

Here’s How to Fix Yours

A very interesting new approach to asthma

There's a lot more that's really important, but here's the crux:
Asthma:

Some inhalants patients use to relieve their asthmatic symptoms work by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors in the bronchial tubes.[28] Stimulating the receptors dilates the tubes and constricts blood vessels in their lining, which dries mucous secretions. These effects of the inhalants relieve shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing respiration.[25, p.207]

An alternative to using the inhalers is to increase the number of beta2-adrenergic receptors in the bronchial tubes by taking an effective daily dose of thyroid hormone.[33] T3 is especially useful for this purpose.

In 1991, Egyptian researchers treated 23 asthmatic children with T3.[29] The children weren't hypothyroid. During the 30 days of treatment, they continued to use their usual anti-asthma drugs as needed, but they reduced their doses as low as they could.

The researchers wrote, "They [the children] all reported at the end of the 30 days an obvious subjective improvement of their asthmatic conditions with a decrease in the number of exacerbations. Seven patients stopped their usual anti-asthmatic medicines, being maintained on T3 only and 3 have decreased the amount of bronchodilators needed. A significant improvement of pulmonary function tests was noted in all patients."

According to the researchers, "All patients tolerated well the T3 regimen without any adverse effect." They concluded that T3 induced beneficial effects: T3 "proves to be a useful adjuvant to classic anti-asthma therapy, and may reduce the amount of bronchodilators needed."

How Hillary Clinton and Anthony Weiner facilitated a Muslim spy

How is Huma Abedin connected to Egypt’s new President?
It was encouraging to see five sitting US Congressmen – led by Rep. Michele Bachmann – send a letter to the Office of the Inspector General at the State Department recently; it made reference to the familial relationships Huma Abedin – Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff and closest advisor – has to the Muslim Brotherhood.
As a reminder about the tactics used by Muslims, please familiarize yourself with the following:

Muruna: Violating Sharia to Fool the West
Westerners who understand Islamic deception often refer to “taqiyya” as being the tactic of lying in order to guard the faith. Sunni Muslim apologists counter that taqiyya is a Shiite doctrine, while accusing Shiites of being rabblerousers who sanction “mut’a” (pleasure marriage), which is nothing more than prostitution.

Shiites can easily find equivalents to taqiyya and mut’a in the Sunni Muslim world. They are called “misyar” and “muruna.”
How is Huma Abedin connected to Egypt’s new President?
All signs point to Huma using a technique championed by Qaradawi himself. It’s called Muruna and it allows Muslims to go to extreme lengths to deceive and convince non-Muslims they pose no threat. One such act permitted by Muruna would be for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man if it furthered the cause of Islam.

Consider, Huma Abedin is also the wife of former US Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), who happens to be Jewish. Why hasn’t Huma denounced her mother or the views espoused by the Sisterhood? In fact, as the twitter sex scandal involving Weiner was playing out last year, the New York Post reported that the former Congressman allegedly claimed that there were three women he needed to reconcile with – Huma, Hillary, and Saleha. Perhaps the biggest red flag of all is why Huma – a practicing Muslim – wasn’t disowned by her family for marrying a Jew in the first place.

When it was learned that Saleha was a member of this extremely nefarious group, Walid was able to uncover mountains of evidence from news sources – in Arabic – that implicated Huma’s mother as being part of a plot reminiscent of Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Today, much of these connections have vanished. Short of identifying Saleha as the Dean of Dar el Hekma, her tracks have been all but covered. . .

Read this if you think you might not vote for Mitt Romney for President in November

If any true conservative is thinking about NOT VOTING because Mitt is not "true enough"...please consider the following:

On March 23, 2012, columnist Andrew McCarthy gave us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election:
For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:
1) Justice Scalia just turned 78

2) Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year

3) Justice Breyer will be 76 in August

4) Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago
We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come. If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky.
So for anybody who is thinking of NOT voting because your favorite didn't get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win, imagine this:

Covert Activities are Approved by Presidents


The CIA must have a "Presidential Finding" issued by the President of the United States in order to conduct these activities under the Hughes-Ryan amendment to the 1991 Intelligence Authorization Act.[1] These findings are then monitored by the oversight committees in both the US Senate and the House of Representatives.[4] As a result of this framework, the CIA “receives more oversight from the Congress than any other agency in the federal government”.[5] The Special Activities Division (SAD) is a division of the CIA's National Clandestine Service, responsible for Covert Action and "Special Activities". These special activities include covert political influence and paramilitary operations.
The division is overseen by the United States Secretary of State[2]

 

Fast and Furious was a covert operation that required Presidential approval. To say it wasn’t covert is a lie.

According to the Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, a covert operation (also as CoveOps or covert ops) is "an operation that is so planned and executed as to conceal the identity of or permit plausible denial by the sponsor." It is intended to create a political effect which can have implications in the military, intelligence or law enforcement arenas. Covert operations aim to fulfill their mission objectives without any parties knowing who sponsored or carried out the operation.

Of course Obama knew about Fast and Furious he had to approve it.

His Luca Brasi at DOJ Eric “the Holder” has withheld over 140,000 F&F e-mails from Congress and President has exerted executive privilege to avoid criminal prosecution.

As F&F makes Watergate look like a Sunday School picnic it will be sad (but probably hilarious) to see the media, Hollywood, academe, unions, AARP, Democrat talking heads and the rest of the liberal log rollers excuse this corruption away.

The security leaks from the White House should add real substance to the corruption the “Chicago Gang” will be charged with.  It should also insure a loss for those who have made assertion that Obama is the smartest man alive.  Right now he looks like just about the dumbest.

The people should demand a special prosecutor to replace the in-house DOJ lawyers the crime boss appointed. 

United States v. Nixon

...the Supreme Court in United States v. Nixon (1974) held that executive privilege cannot be invoked at all if the purpose is to shield wrongdoing.

Heritage Foundation:
Fast And Furious: Executive Privilege Is Illegitimate to Shield Wrongdoing
...The history of executive–congressional relations is filled with accommodations and waivers of privilege. In contrast to voluntary waivers of privilege, Watergate demonstrates that wrongful invocations of privilege can seriously damage the office of the presidency when Congress and the courts impose new constraints on the President’s discretion or power (some rightful and some not).

But there is at least one helpful development in Holder’s request that the President invoke executive privilege to shield these documents: The President now owns the consequences of further stonewalling. There is no ongoing DOJ prosecution or investigation to protect. There is no obvious reason why the President can’t waive even what legitimately privileged documents there are (which is probably far fewer than the 1,300 pages being withheld).

The American people will now clearly understand that it is President Obama who doesn’t want them to know who is to blame for the Fast and Furious scandal—and whether his Administration has done anything to prevent it from happening again.

Why Obama's claim of Executive Privilege is frivolous

PowerLine:
Today Deputy Attorney General James Cole advised Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, that the Department of Justice will not respond to the committee’s subpoena of certain documents relating to the Fast and Furious scandal. Instead, the Obama administration is asserting a claim of executive privilege for the reasons laid out in Eric Holder’s letter to President Obama dated June 19.

Holder’s letter is a remarkable document. Viewed from a strictly technical standpoint, it is a terrible piece of legal work. Its arguments are weak at best; in some cases, they are so frivolous as to invite the imposition of sanctions if they were asserted in court.
Obama’s Claim of Executive Privilege: It’s Frivolous

VERILY: Fresh Conversations on What It Means To Be Real Women

HAT TIP: Elizabeth Scalia at The Anchoress
When twenty-somethings Kara Eschbach and Janet Sahm met for brunch in New York City’s West Village one year ago, they ended up having a conversation that would redirect their future – and, in time, could possibly help change our culture.

After lamenting the fact that the pictures, styles and articles featured in women’s magazines today didn’t reflect their own lives, hopes and values, Janet – a former intern at Elle.com who had worked in the fashion industry – said that she’d like to start her own magazine ten years down the road. Kara – an investment analyst at Credit Suisse – asked, “Why not right now?”
Though “Verily” is a secular magazine, it’s grounded in the values that Kara and Janet learned growing up and have come to appreciate more in recent years. Kara, for instance, admits that she’s been a “typical young Catholic” who would go to church on Sunday, but live the rest of the week in ways that didn’t necessarily reflect her beliefs. “For me, it’s been this slow journey of [discovering] how I reconcile the person I want to be with [how] I’m living…It’s been a matter of following those moments of clarity where I knew what I was supposed to do, and trying to come closer to God’s truth in the decisions I make every day.”

Janet grew up “a good kid” in a “strong, beautiful Catholic family” in Indianapolis. She was always drawn to fashion and has been sketching dresses since age five. “Over the years,” she says, “I was slowly making these small decisions because I wanted so badly to please others and be beautiful. The way I dressed, the way I acted around guys, and how I engaged in relationships changed.” The negative influence came from the fashion world’s depiction of “the sophisticated, mature, thriving woman. I tried to imitate that, but it didn’t really make sense with my life and with what my heart ultimately desired.”

What is the bloodiest story in history?

Lessons from the Food Stamp Program for Health Care

For your friends and family that may not know this help is available. --Dick McDonald

Lessons from the Food Stamp Program for Health Care

The Food Stamp program (SNAP) appears to work much better than health assistance programs for low-income seniors, says NCPA President and CEO John C. Goodman in his new book, Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis.

Currently three Medicare savings programs are designed to make Medicare more affordable for poor and near-poor beneficiaries by paying premiums and eliminating out-of-pocket cost sharing:

·         The Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Program pays all Medicare premi­ums and out-of-pocket cost sharing for beneficiaries who have incomes at or below 100 percent of the federal poverty level and who are ineligible for full Medicaid coverage.

·         The Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary Program pays Part B premiums for Medicare beneficiaries with incomes of 101 percent to 120 percent of the federal poverty level.

·         The Qualified Individual Program pays Part B premiums for beneficiaries with incomes of 121 percent to 135 percent of the federal poverty level.

Yet amazingly, fewer than one-third of eligible Medicare beneficiaries enroll in these programs.

Contrast what we do in health care with SNAP, which has about 60 million participants (most of whom are probably also Medicaid enrollees).

·         Low-income shoppers can enter any supermarket in America and buy almost anything the facility has to offer by adding cash to the "voucher" the government gives them.

·         They can buy anything you and I can buy because they pay the same price you and I pay.

·         But we forbid them to do the same thing in the medical marketplace.

Like food, health is gen­erally considered a necessity. So why not treat it the same way we treat food? This would make certain that the poor have the wherewithal to pay for their health care not by forcing them to wait or take poorer quality, but with health care dollars. These health care dollars would be full dollars to providers, ensuring that the poor can complete for resources with all other buyers of care.

Another legal challenge to Obamacare involves Wickard v. Filburn and Liberty Legal Foundation

Preparing for Obamacare Ruling
As another June slips by we all wait for the Supreme Court’s ruling on Obamacare. While we all wait, Liberty Legal Foundation is also preparing. As you know, the Federal court in Texas suspended our Obamacare Class Action lawsuit until the Supreme Court’s June ruling. The Texas Court told us that we could continue our lawsuit against Obamacare if the Supreme Court left any part of Obamacare standing and if we have any legal arguments that are not addressed by the Supreme Court’s ruling.

If the Supreme Court overturns Wickard v. Filburn and returns the Federal government to its pre-1942 size, we will not pursue the OCA lawsuit any further. We will also celebrate for several months because this would be a miracle ruling, and a true restoration to our original system of government. Unfortunately the parties that reached the Supreme Court earlier this year did not argue that Wickard should be overturned. Their arguments against Obamacare were much more specific. We hope the Court agrees with them and strikes down all of Obamacare. However, it is unlikely that the Court’s ruling will be that comprehensive. 

Liberty Legal Foundation filed an amicus (friend of the court) brief with the Supreme Court showing all of the negative affects Wickard has had on our nation. Unfortunately one amicus brief may not be enough to get the attention of the Court.

I predict that the individual mandate will be struck down as beyond Congressional authority, but the Court will not go as far as to strike down Wickard. Because the Florida attorneys did not argue that Wickard should be overturned, the Court is unlikely to go that far. This will leave us with yet another compromise rule regarding Congressional authority. The new rule will be impossible to understand and impossible to enforce. The net result will be Congress doing whatever it likes, with no limits, because no court will know exactly how much authority Congress has.

When the Supreme Court gives us this newly-flawed rule on Congressional authority Liberty Legal Foundation will file a motion with the Texas Federal court to resume our OCA lawsuit. We will continue to argue that Congressional authority should be returned to its pre-Wickard scope and that the Federal government should be returned to its pre-“New Deal” size.

There is another possibility that the Supreme Court could strike down the individual mandate, without overturning Wickard, and rule that the rest of Obamacare cannot be left standing without the individual mandate. If this happens we will, again, celebrate. However, this would leave us with a flawed rule on Congressional authority and no Obamacare law to use as a means to attack Wickard in court. If this happens Liberty Legal Foundation will find another example of Congressional abuse of power we can use to re-establish proper Constitutional limits on Congressional authority with a Supreme Court ruling. Unfortunately Congressional abuses of power are common. This is why we must win this fight.

If you wake up on Independence Day to a new Federal government, limited by our Constitution as it was before the New Deal, then we will be celebrating our re-established Constitutional Republic with you. If, however, you wake up on Independence Day still wondering how America got its current unconstitutional Federal government, and wondering how we’re going to fix it, then Liberty Legal Foundation will still be here working to fix it.

WND:
Mike Zullo, a retired New Jersey detective now heading Arpaio’s volunteer investigative team, explained in an interview that at the time of Obama’s birth during the state’s early years, Hawaii birth documentation routinely was purchased by foreigners for children not born in the state.. . .

Zullo’s comments came in an interview with Tea Party Power Hour host Mark Gillar

Gillar described the process in the 1960s: Foreign nationals, primarily from Japan, would fly to Hawaii and buy a birth registration for their son or daughter, not with the goal of one day having them become president, but to obtain the benefits of being a U.S. citizen.

Maine study finds potentially disastrous threat to single-celled plants that support all life

Thanks to FOREIGN CONFIDENTIAL
BOOTHBAY, Maine — Phytoplankton. If the mention of the tiny plant organisms that permeate the world’s oceans isn’t enough to pique your interest, consider this: They produce the oxygen in every other breath you take.

Still not interested? This is where it’s hard not to take notice. In 2007, the reproduction rate of phytoplankton in the Gulf of Maine decreased suddenly by a factor of five — what used to take a day now takes five — and according to a recently released study by the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in Boothbay, it hasn’t bounced back.

So what does it mean? According to Barney Balch, the lab’s senior research scientist and lead author of the study, such a change in organisms at the bottom of the planetary food chain and at the top of planetary oxygen production could have disastrous consequences for virtually every species on Earth, from lobsters and fish that fuel Maine’s marine industries to your grandchildren. But the 12-year Bigelow study focused only on the Gulf of Maine, which leads to the question, will it spread?

Economic Collapse Is Not A Single Event

Many people hype "the coming economic collapse" as if it is some kind of big summer Hollywood blockbuster.  Many people out there write about it as if it is something that will happen in a single day or over a few weeks and that it will suddenly change how the entire world functions.  But that is not how the financial world works.

The financial world is like a game of chess - very slow and methodical.  Yes, there are times when things happen very quickly (like back in 2008), but even that crisis played out over a number of months.  Sadly, most Americans are not used to thinking in terms of months or years.  These days, most Americans have the attention span of a goldfish and most Americans have been trained to expect instant gratification.  They are simply not accustomed to being patient and to wait for things.  Well, despite what you may have read, the economic collapse is not going to be a single event.  It is going to play out over quite a few years.

In some ways we are experiencing an economic collapse right now.  When the next major financial crisis occurs, many will be calling that "an economic collapse".  But if you really want to grasp what is happening to us, you need to think long-term.  We are heading for a complete and total nightmare, but it is going to take some time to get to the end of the story.

Labor Department squeezes out journalists; State Department gets rid of 'religious freedom'

LABOR DEPARTMENT:

Obama Labor Dept. Forces Journalists to Use Government-Issued Computers
Journalists are crying foul at a new Obama policy that will deny them the right to use their own computers to write stories from economic data issued inside the halls of the Department of Labor.
STATE DEPARTMENT:

Obama removes Religious Freedom Section from Its Human Rights Reports
...a section reporting on religious freedom has also always been included in the State Department's legally required annual country-by-country reports on human rights--that is, until now.

They know what you read and where you shop, what kind of work you do and who you count as friends

Politico reports:
CHICAGO — On the sixth floor of a sleek office building here, more than 150 techies are quietly peeling back the layers of your life. They know what you read and where you shop, what kind of work you do and who you count as friends. They also know who your mother voted for in the last election.

The depth and breadth of the Obama campaign’s 2012 digital operation — from data mining to online organizing — reaches so far beyond anything politics has ever seen, experts maintain, that it could impact the outcome of a close presidential election. It makes the president’s much-heralded 2008 social media juggernaut — which raised half billion dollars and revolutionized politics — look like cavemen with stone tablets.
Obama’s data advantage

How long has this been going on?

Ace of Spades was talking about a Washington Post article on 3/8/2006:
Apparently it's okay to data-mine to determine Americans' likely political preferences so they can be targeted for mailings, but it's a gross breach of the Constitution to use the same techniques to find likely terrorists...
Check out this succinct history of Data Mining from Doug Alexander at the University of Texas which starts with Data Collection in the 1960's:

Which side is YOUR bread buttered on?

The Free Dictionary describes the saying "know which side your bread is buttered (on)" as meaning "to be careful not to upset people who you know can help you" and, of course, this describes the root problem with modern politics today.

It means that our country, the United States of America, is for sale.

It means that its citizens are now completely subservient to the highest bidder (i.e. which politician is willing to get enough stuff for you to sell out your freedom).

It means that, at every fork in the road, the people have chosen Cain over Abel, Plato over Aristotle, Aaron over Moses, Hamilton over Jefferson, Galbraith over Friedman...at the very least, they have chosen to relinquish their individual liberty to an anonymous, amorphous, group of strangers whose homes are thousands of miles away in exchange for promises that, historically, are mostly unkept and unmet.

Ironically, the more apparent it becomes that this is an unworkable and deplorable scheme of politically-minded con artists, the more vehement and violent its supporters become.
President Obama’s seemingly-bizarre claim that “the private sector is doing fine” is echoing across the country. When I first saw the quote, I thought it must be a momentary gaffe, or perhaps taken out of context. But no: Obama really did say, at some length, that the private sector is prospering and we need to spend more money on government. . .

All it takes is a couple of minutes to examine a short history of taxes to make you wonder how Obama didn't choke on his words or end up with an erectile proboscis like these Pinochian Politicians...until you realize that it is the LOSS of "a hungry sensationalist press", for only G-d knows what reason, that has disabled our public alert and warning system.
...the belief that the private sector is rich and the public sector is poor, so that transfers of wealth from private sector to public sector are endlessly justified, is embedded deeply in Obama’s ideology.

The classic formulation of this proposition goes back to John Kenneth Galbraith’s The Affluent Society, published in 1958.

So now we're stuck with an idealogue, a Westworld-Terminator fighting an anti-Revolutionary War complete with tea bags and free condoms and robotic soundbytes whirring about moats filled with alligators and jalopies careening into ditches.
Most everyone knows that times have changed. Government spending consumes an ever-growing share of America’s wealth, and study after study shows that public sector workers are paid vastly better than private sector workers.

The world, ladies and gentlemen, is comprised of marks and grifters.

Beckham does Lenin

David Beckham is another ignorant celebrity who romanticizes the likes of Vladimir Lenin as so many of them do...never met a dictator they didn't love.



Lenin: A Biography
...a rebel whose devotion to destruction proved greater than his love for the "proletariat" he supposedly served. We see how his intellectual preoccupations and inner rage underwent volatile interaction and propelled his career from young Marxist activist to founder of the communist party and the Soviet state--and how he bequeathed to Russia a legacy of political oppression and social intimidation that has yet to be expunged.


National Day of Blogger Silence — This Friday

ACE OF SPADES HQ
Excerpt:
On Friday, this site will be absolutely dead-silent, which is what Brett Kimberlin and his stalker crew seeks, and what the media and our supposed Representatives in Congress would permit.


The only post on Friday will be a bold-faced Open Letter to Congress, urging them to act and not attempt to pass the buck to others.


They are our representatives; we would like some representation.


They vowed to defend and protect the Constitution; they can honor that vow now.


I will post links of Congressmen's and Senator's email addresses and offices and phone numbers, and urge every concerned American citizen to let them know, in no uncertain terms, that a crime in progress against the First Amendment (and people's safety) is occurring, and we humbly request they take this seriously.


They are literally going to get someone killed. That is their endgame here.


Will the media and Congress pretend "we didn't know" when this happens?


ABCNews knows.


The Weekly Standard knows.


The Daily Caller knows.


And many, but not yet all, Congressmen and Senators know.


I encourage all bloggers and twitterers to essentially strike that day, or write nothing except your desire that you expect your Congressmen to take threats to your First Amendment rights seriously.

Facebook disappear?

Facebook will lose dominance as a major web company in less than a decade, Eric Jackson, founder of Ironfire Capital said Monday on CNBC's Squawk on the Street.

"In five to eight years they are going to disappear in the way that Yahoo has disappeared," Jackson said. "Yahoo is still making money, it's still profitable, still has 13,000 employees working for it, but it's 10 percent of the value that it was at the height of 2000. For all intents and purposes, it's disappeared."

Jackson said there have been three generations of web companies. . .

IMAM AND HIS WIFE ARE JAILED FOR MUTILATING THE GENITALS OF THEIR FOUR DAUGHTERS

The horror of this bloody, painful procedure to remove the ability of a Muslim girl to experience any sexual pleasure is on the rise in the West as Muslim immigration increases. Cutting the clitoris of a woman is an Islamic precept that removes the ability to experience sexual pleasure (thereby making a woman less apt to cheat, or enjoy life, for that matter). There is absolutely no health benefit. It is a misogyny. And don't think it doesn't affect American society. Just last year the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement recommending that doctors perform this "ritual nick" (we exposed it on the net and it was withdrawn after the ensuing public outcry). Many Muslims in America support clitoridectomies and justify them as religious freedom. In one state in which anti-FGM legislation is currently working its way through the legislative process, one legislator reports receiving a phone call from a Muslim constituent urging her to oppose the legislation as ‘a conspiracy against the Muslim community’” (more here). . .

Gray Marriage

A Scene at City Hall in San Francisco

"Next."

"Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license."

"Names?"

"Tim and Jim Jones."

"Jones? Are you related? I see a resemblance."

"Yes, we're brothers."

"Brothers? You can't get married."

"Why not? Aren't you giving marriage licenses to same gender couples?"

"Yes, thousands But we haven't had any siblings. That's incest!"

"Incest?" No, we are not gay."

"Not gay? Then why do you want to get married?"

"For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each other. Besides, we don't have any other prospects."

"But we're issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples who've been denied equal protection under the law. If you are not gay, you can get married to a woman."

"Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as I have. But just because I'm straight doesn't mean I want to marry a woman. I want to marry Jim."

"And I want to marry Tim, Are you going to discriminate against us just because we are not gay?"

"All right, all right. I'll give you your license. Next."

"Hi. We are here to get married."

"Names?"

"John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson."

"Who wants to marry whom?"

"We all want to marry each other."

"But there are four of you!"

"That's right. You see, we're all bisexual. I love Jane and Robert, Jane loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert loves June and me. All of us getting married together is the only way that we can express our sexual preferences in a marital relationship."

"But we've only been granting licenses to gay and lesbian couples."

"So you're discriminating against bisexuals!"

"No, it's just that, well, the traditional idea of marriage is that it's just for couples."

"Since when are you standing on tradition?"

"Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere."

"Who says? There's no logical reason to limit marriage to couples. The more the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor says the constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. Give us a marriage license!"

"All right, all right. Next."

"Hello, I'd like a marriage license."

"In what names?"

"David Deets."

"And the other man?"

"That's all. I want to marry myself."

"Marry yourself? What do you mean?"

"Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I want to marry the two together. Maybe I can file a joint income-tax return."

"That does it! I quit!! You people are making a mockery of marriage!!"

Trayvon: User AND Dealer?

LEAN and mean...

Update #26 Part 2 – Trayvon Martin Shooting – A year of drug use culminates in predictable violence…
We can confirm from his Facebook and Twitter Accounts that Trayvon had essentially been “sippin sippin” (using Lean or DXM) for at least a year, perhaps longer.  It would appear from the Medical Examiners report Trayvon’s liver was showing the early indicators of excessive use consistent with such a timeframe. . .

It would be intellectually dishonest to frame as coincidental or disconnected that he apparently started seriously engaging in the DXM/Lean/Pot culture in the summer break of 2011 ;  and then was suspended from school three times for behavioral issues in the very next school year.   A rapid downward progression would be an inevitable outcome from frequent use of DXM and Marijuana.

Trayvon also subscribed to the U-Tube feeds  of drug use, drug culture, street violence and activities in this same Summer between school years.   Not accidentally in the same timeframe he gained significant interest in MMA style street fighting.   This is not at all just random coincidence.  As we have meticulously outlined aggressive anti-social behavior is a specific, frequent, and documented side effect from DXM/Lean use.

Trayvon was admittedly, according to his Facebook conversations, a user of DXM and Purple Drank/Lean since at least June 2011.   He was also an admitted smoker of Marijuana which was found in both his urine and blood tests.   His liver indicates the beginning stages of an unusual degrading known as “mild fatty metamorphasis”, and his brain tissue appeared compromised, both conditions symptomatic of DXM use.

In addition he was suspended from school three times in the past seven months  prior to the shooting for behavioral issues.  He was detached from adult supervision at the time in question, in a relatively unfamiliar place, and according to his father Tracy Martin, grounded.   His girlfriend describes their phone call as Trayvon being “paranoid”.
Was Trayvon Martin A Drug Dealer?



The Three Samurai

There once was a powerful old Japanese emperor who needed a new chief samurai. So he sent out a declaration throughout the entire known world that he was searching for a chief.

A year passed, and only three people applied for the very demanding position: a Japanese samurai, a Chinese samurai, and a Jewish samurai. The old emperor asked the Japanese samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be the chief samurai.
                                    
The Japanese samurai opened a matchbox, and out popped a bumblebee. Whoosh! went his sword. The bumble bee dropped dead at the Emperor's feet, neatly chopped in half. The emperor exclaimed, "That is very impressive!" 
 
The old emperor then issued the same challenge to the Chinese samurai, to come in and demonstrate why he should be chosen. The Chinese samurai also opened a matchbox and out buzzed a fly. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The fly dropped dead at the Emperor's feet, neatly chopped into four small pieces.
 
The old emperor exclaimed, "That is very impressive!"
   
Now the old emperor turned to the Jewish samurai, and asked him to demonstrate why he should be the chief samurai. The Jewish Samurai opened a matchbox, and out flew a gnat. His flashing sword went Whoosh! But the gnat was still alive and flying around.
  
The emperor, obviously disappointed, said, "Very ambitious, but why is that gnat not dead?"
   
The Jewish Samurai just smiled and said, "Circumcision is not meant to kill."
