Marco Rubio Has a Second Amendment Problem

Dear Fred,    

When Marco Rubio was a local commissioner in Florida in 1999, he voted to ban 
guns from local parks.

Now, politicians make mistakes. And honest politicians “fess up” and move on. 

Rubio's problem is that, when Senator Ted Cruz called attention to Rubio's 
anti-gun vote, Marco’s response was to call Ted a “liar.” 

This was part of a larger narrative in which Donald Trump and Rubio were 
hurling “pants on fire” insults at Cruz. 

But when Rubio disavowed his 1999 anti-gun vote -- falsely accusing Ted Cruz of 
Rubio's own sins -- he made a serious mistake.

Because it turns out that Breitbart had a videotape of Rubio casting the 
anti-gun vote which he was denying.  
    
And not only was Rubio caught red-handed in a lie -- about a significant and 
unambiguous misrepresentation -- he was caught accusing others of “lying,” when 
in fact, it was Rubio himself who was not telling the truth.

As we said, politicians make mistakes. And Marco Rubio’s misrepresentation 
won’t be the worst mistake he’s made this week. (His worst mistake would be 
continuing his campaign in a context where the only conceivable outcome would 
be to prevent the pro-gun Cruz from seizing the nomination.)

But, just as Ted Cruz fired a top staffer in order to maintain the reality and 
appearance of scrupulous honestly, we do believe that Rubio owes Cruz an 
apology for his undeniable and conspicuous lie against him.

Incidentally, Cruz’ scrupulous honesty -- in the face of child-like, baseless, 
repeated accusations -- reaffirms Gun Owners of America in our decision to 
endorse Ted Cruz as, frankly, “the only adult in room” in a field of Republican 
candidates who appear, increasingly, like playground bullies.

[MoLiCo] Fwd: ALERT: Call Gov. Nixon to tell him NO Syrian refugees in Missouri

Subject: ALERT: Call Gov. Nixon to tell him NO Syrian refugees in Missouri 
 

Dear friend, 
 

 
“President Obama on Monday assailed the U.S. political backlash against 
resettling more Syrian refugees, especially Muslims, calling it un-American. 
Well, maybe he should have thought about that before he decided to do so little 
in Syria and let Islamic State build a vast terror sanctuary.” (The Wall Street 
Journal, 2015)

At the federal level House Speaker Paul Ryan has called for a “pause” to the 
admittance of Syrian refugees into the United States while over in the U.S. 
Senate Senator Ted Cruz, (R) of Texas is introducing a bill barring Syrian 
refugees.

Here in Missouri 18 State Senators have called on Governor Jay Nixon to follow 
almost half of America’s governors and refuse Syrian refugees. Additionally 
several state representatives are sending letters requesting the same of our 
governor. Republican gubernatorial candidates agree that Syrian resettlement in 
Missouri should be denied.

Thus far seven of Missouri’s eight contiguous Border States have told the Obama 
Administration NO to Syrian Refugees with Governor-elect Bevin of Kentucky 
assuring his citizens that he will act when inaugurated in less than a month. 
Meanwhile Missouri’s Governor dithers and delays telling us he will defer to 
President Obama’s Departments of State and Homeland Security.

Governor Nixon’s inaction on this subject is unacceptable. He needs to hear 
from you. You can submit comments on his official website here. Or pick up the 
phone and call his office now to tell Governor Nixon that you want him to say 
NO to Syrian refugees until they can be properly vetted: (573) 751-3222.

Contact Congress

While we normally focus on the Missouri Legislature the issue of immigration is 
one that ultimately falls to the federal government. We know where the Obama 
Administration stands. After all this is a result of his failure of leadership 
and ineffective foreign policy. Congress needs to stand and fight in order to 
prevent Obama from following through with his vision.

Contact Congress now to encourage them to support Speaker Paul Ryan’s “pause” 
and Senator Ted Cruz’ bill barring Syrian refugees.

Fred,

In 2011, you won. You forced Obama to accept the budget caps, the only thing 
reining in his out of control spending. And Boehner is going to give them up, 
with absolutely nothing in return. He's working to ram this Obama-Boehner 
budget through Congress. And he must be stopped. Call the phone number below to 
be automatically connected to your representative and tell them to oppose the 
Obama-Boehner budget:

202-796-9925

This is a two year deal that virtually eliminates the debt ceiling until March 
of 2017. Fred, Boehner is giving Obama a blank check to spend as he pleases for 
the rest of his term. If you thought the deficit was bad before, just wait 
until this budget is passed. We've got to stop them. That's why it's crucial 
that you call your representative at 202-796-9925, and demand that they oppose 
the Obama-Boehner budget.

Let's show Boehner how freedom works, one last time.

Planned Parenthood Investigation

 

 

It's after 9:00 pm. I returned, to my home in Lawrence County just a while ago, 
from a joint committee hearing at the Capitol.  The House Ways and Means 
committee, of which I am a member, along with the House Children and Families 
committee to investigate whether or not the State’s Department of Social 
Services and/or Health and Senior Services had knowledge of the sale of the 
body parts of murdered babies by Planned Parenthood.

 

The hearing ended with little new information gained.  I hope to have more news 
following the next hearing (perhaps in a couple of weeks).

 

If Missourians truly believed that the life of an unborn child is worth 
protecting we would not allow the killing of our children and we would not be 
tasked with investigating Planned Parenthood.

 

The Missouri general assembly should take a hard look at RsMO 1.205 and 
consider removing the section in brackets (section 2):

 

1.205. 1. The general assembly of this state finds that:

 

(1) The life of each human being begins at conception;

 

(2) Unborn children have protectable interests in life, health, and well-being;

 

(3) The natural parents of unborn children have protectable interests in the 
life, health, and well-being of their unborn child.

 

2. Effective January 1, 1988, the laws of this state shall be interpreted and 
construed to acknowledge on behalf of the unborn child at every stage of 
development, all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other 
persons, citizens, and residents of this state. [, subject only to the 
Constitution of the United States, and decisional interpretations thereof by 
the United States Supreme Court and specific provisions to the contrary in the 
statutes and constitution of this state.]

 

I filed a bill (HB 1033) last session that would have accomplished this, but 
there appeared to be no interest from Republicans to move it along.

 

It’s as if we are saying, as a state, that we are pro-life unless, of course, 
someone says we cannot be (pro-life).  In this case, it’s the federal 
government.

 

If "we" truly care about the unborn, let's put an end to abortion - PERIOD!

 

  
http://house.mo.gov/billcentral.aspx?pid=26

 

When Roe v. Wade was decided, in the 1970’s, we were told that an abortion was 
a simple medical procedure – the removal of a clump of cells.  Today, with 
advancements in technology, we can see with our own eyes that the “clump of 
cells” are more, much more… a human being…!

 

Today we are faced with an enormous dilemma – Planned Parenthood has built an 
industry murdering our unborn children and dissecting the bodies in order to 
harvest organs for sale to the highest bidder.  The recently revealed videos 
are being touted by those in support of Planned Parenthood as being deceptive 
and because they were secretly recorded – irrelevant.

 

So, with this in mind, what do we do now?  Years have passed and literally 
millions of innocent children have been mercilessly killed.  A generation has 
been lost… and for what purpose – convenience?  If we ignore what we now know 
and allow this new information to be swept under the proverbial carpet, are we 
not complicit in these unnecessary deaths? 

 

I cannot… I will not remain silent.

 

I was told, again today, by someone in the “fight” for families and life, that 
my effort to sponsor legislation, like the one referenced above will not be 
successful.  As I thought about this comment, I couldn’t help but remember that 
in our country’s history, laws have been enacted, repealed, and changed.  Why 
cannot we raise our collective voices, consistently in strong unison, and 
demand that the laws be changed?  I am not naïve in thinking that we will be 
successful this year or even next, but what if we continue, year after year, 
pressing the issue of protecting the unborn – truly protecting them?

 

Even if we do not win the battle here on this earth, what will our answer be to 
our Heavenly Father if we don’t try?

Subject: Mr. Surrender 
 
Mitch McConnell surrenders the power of the purse again.
Can't read this email? Click here.

   

Fellow Conservative: 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has done it again. Yesterday, he 
preemptively surrendered the power of the purse, vowing to give the Democrats 
whatever they want to avoid a government shutdown.

“Let me say it again, no more government shutdowns,” he told reporters.

This guy has to be the worst negotiator ever.

This means that he won't block taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood because 
he thinks avoiding brinksmanship with the Democrats is more important than 
stopping this organization.

It means that he won't block funding for sanctuary cities or for the 
president's unlawful executive amnesty program because he thinks avoiding 
brinksmanship with the Democrats is more important than the rule of law.

It means he won't block funding for the EPA's new clean power rule because he 
thinks avoiding brinksmanship with the Democrats is more important than 
protecting American jobs and family budgets.

And of course it means he won't block funding for Obamacare because he thinks 
avoiding brinksmanship with the Democrats is more important than protecting 
Americans' health care decisions.

Surrender. Surrender. Surrender. Surrender.

Sadly, Senator McConnell's refusal to fight against liberal policies in the 
annual spending bills represents yet another broken promise.

A year ago, when Senator McConnell was running for re-election, he vowed to 
shut down the president's agenda by adding restrictions to the must-pass 
appropriations bills.

We're going to pass spending bills, and they're going to have a lot of 
restrictions on the activities of the bureaucracy, McConnell said. That’s 
something he won't like, but that will be done. I guarantee it.

That was a simple lie.

The vote earlier this week on the bill to defund Planned Parenthood was nothing 
more than a drive-by show vote designed to make people think the GOP 
establishment cares about this issue.

Unfortunately, the Republican leadership in DC won't fight for our principles 
and values when it really matters. They won't use their leverage to stop 
funding for Planned Parenthood in the continuing resolution (CR) in September.

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), McConnell's sidekick, even went so far as to say 
that stopping Planned Parenthood was not worth a shutdown.

I realize some people want to write this is going to be shutdown material … 
It's not, Cornyn said.

It's not shutdown material?

Tell that to the Americans whose taxes are being used to abort over 300,000 
innocent children each year and auction off their body parts for profit.

HELP US CLEAN HOUSE

If you're tired of being lied to and completely ignored by the leadership of 
the Republican Party, please help us elect true conservatives.

Make a contribution to the Senate Conservatives Fund so we can elect principled

No group is a bigger threat to the career politicians who control the 
Republican Party and no group is doing more to elect conservative candidates.

Export-Import Bank. When he was a senator, Barack Obama knew the program was 
nothing but corporate welfare, writes Shackford. But now as president, he has 
flip-flopped and is trying to keep the institution alive.

I don't know if the prez will ultimately succeed, cajoling Congress to revive 
the monster by stuffing it into the roads bill, but at least Sen. Marco Rubio 
has introduced an amendment to the highway bill that would kill the bank and 
unload its assets to the treasury. 

Go, Rubio! Getting rid of the Ex-Im Bank is just anti-crony common sense.

So what's the uncommon sense? This out-of-the-mainstream notion: We don't 
need a federal transportation bill at all. It's not as if states cannot secure 
funding for roads. (They already do.) Devolve the whole Interstate system back 
onto the states!

Radical? Maybe. But the federal government just spends and spends without much 
sense. Distribute the responsibility for roads to the states; let Congress 
figure out how to manage its remaining tasks. 

For a change. 

I think this is . . . Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Why American Presidents are so Rotten


Column: Society http://journal-neo.org/category/columns/society/  

Region: USA in the World

 http://journal-neo.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/reme-court-2012.jpg
242342342What few people inside or outside the United States grasp is the
fundamental transformation of US politics, especially since the 1970's, from
political parties with stable mass-based constituencies to two parties
bought lock, stock and barrel by a handful of American oligarchs with one
agenda-the advancement of the interests of those same oligarchs regardless
of the social consequences. Next year, 2016 is a Presidential election year.
Already so-called front-runners are being proclaimed by mainstream media. It
has nothing to do with genuine voter support but rather with the money
behind Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Jeb Bush. 

To understand this transformation makes clearer why the United States and
their Washington politicians have become some of the most despised and
ridiculed in the world today and why recent presidents from Ronald Reagan
through to Barack Obama have been so morally rotten. 

A key part of the transformation of America has come from extraordinary
Supreme Court rulings. The country has gone from a country and political
system where bipartisan consensus and cooperation on legislation in
Washington was the hallmark of Washington politics, to the present
undemocratic state. Today ultimately there is not a dime's difference
between major candidates-Democrat or Republican. This is because there has
been a series of Supreme Court rulings and laws that virtually eliminate
what used to be strict limits on how much money individuals and special
interest groups could give to get their candidate elected.

Creation of the American Oligarchy

Because of changes introduced in the 1980's from the Bush-Reagan
presidencies the amount of tax exemptions enjoyed by the highest income
group has soared while burdens on what was once the stable middle class in
income has been squeezed severely over the past three decades. As of 2010
the richest 400 Americans-people like Bill Gates, George Soros, Ted Turner,
Warren Buffett, David Rockefeller-had more assets than half of all Americans
http://www.infoplease.com/us/history/campaign-finance-reform-timeline.html
.

While the average incomes of the top 20 percent in the United States grew by
43 percent in inflation-adjusted terms between 1979 and 2012, the average
incomes of those in the middle 60 percent grew by only 10 percent, and the
incomes of the bottom 20 percent actually fell by 3 percent. The top rapidly
pulled away from the middle, while the bottom simultaneously fell further
behind
https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/news/2014/12/18/101790/as-i
ncome-inequality-rises-americas-middle-class-shrinks/ .

The financial crisis that exploded in 2007 with the bursting of the housing
bubble devastated the middle class while tax laws enacted after 2008 helped
the top 10%. The period since the first Ronald Reagan presidency in 1981 has
seen the phenomenal rise of a genuine American oligarchy. The Greek word
oligarchy means a form of power structure in which power effectively rests
with a few. It can be an oligarchy of royalty. In America today it is an
oligarchy of wealth. This is the background to the dangerous developments in
US election campaign financing.

No limits.

Since 1979 the US Supreme Court has handed down decisions that have
literally opened the floodgates to the oligarchs' takeover of elections.

After the Nixon Watergate campaign scandal in 1974 Congress passed
amendments to the Federal Election Campaign Act. The amendments created a
bipartisan Federal Election Commission (FEC), to oversee and enforce the law
that initially set limits to total costs of federal campaigns. The act set
up disclosure requirements for federal candidates, political parties, and
political action committees of donations
http://www.infoplease.com/us/history/campaign-finance-reform-timeline.html
. On the surface all looked well and good. Political elections would be
monitored strictly to prevent big money interests from buying elections.

Then in 1979 Congress made amendments to the FECA law that opened a giant
financing loophole in the once strict FECA. A loophole allowed individuals,
unions, and corporations to give unlimited sums to parties and national
party committees for party-building purposes. These donations are known as
soft money
http://www.infoplease.com/us/history/campaign-finance-reform-timeline.html
.

That was not enough for some special interests. They wanted to be certain
they could push the little man out of politics with their money, along the
motto Who pays the piper calls the tune.

[MoLiCo] FW: Personal Liberty: Why Donald Trump Must Be Stopped

[Fred Ellison]

 

Hi. I'm Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Some people are getting very 
nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon 
Corzine, to name just a few. And I know why. I wrote a book titled The Murder 
of the Middle Class about the unholy conspiracy between big government, big 
business and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this 
partnership, and it's in all of their interests to protect one another. It's 
one for all and all for one. It's a heck of a filthy relationship that makes 
everyone filthy rich - everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. 
We're the patsies. 

 

But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists 
are scared. I've never seen them this outraged, this vicious, this motivated or 
this coordinated. Never in all my years in politics have I seen anything like 
the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump. 

 

When white supremacist David Dukes ran for governor of Louisiana, even he 
wasn't treated with this kind of outrage, vitriol and disrespect. When a known 
fraud, scam artist and tax cheat like Al Sharpton ran for president, I never 
saw anything remotely close to this. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by 
politicians of both parties, the media and the biggest corporations of America 
has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened 
and frightened like never before. 

 

Why? Duke was never going to win. Sharpton was never going to win. Ron Paul was 
never going to win. Ross Perot was never going to win as a third-party 
candidate. Those candidates either didn't have or couldn't spare the billion 
dollars it takes to win the presidency. But Donald Trump can self-fund that 
amount tomorrow and still have another billion left over to pour into the last 
two-week stretch run before Election Day. 

 

No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business and political 
elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their 
nice cozy apple cart. 

 

It's no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. 
No, this is a coordinated conspiracy led by President Barack Obama himself. 
Obama himself is making the phone calls and giving the orders; he's the 
ultimate intimidator who plays by the rules of Chicago thug politics. 

 

Why is this so important to Obama? It's because most of the other politicians 
are part of the old boys club. They talk big, but in the end they won't 
change a thing. Why? They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all 
owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations and 
multinational corporations like Big Pharma or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, 
stock and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign 
governments own Hillary with their Clinton Foundation donations. 

 

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big 
money. But there's one man - and only one man - who isn't beholden to anyone. 
There's one man who doesn't need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George 
Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teachers union, or the Service 
Employees International Union, or the bar association to fund his campaign. 

 

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn't need anyone's help. 

 

That means he doesn't care what the media says. He doesn't care what the 
corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched 
interests. That makes Trump a huge threat. Trump can ruin everything for the 
bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters. 

 

Don't you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don't you 
wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually 
try to stop Obama? Don't you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet 
has never tried to defund Obamacare or Obama's clearly illegal executive action 
on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right? 

 

Well, first, I'd guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I 
believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having 
affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security 
Agency knows everything. 

 

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he 
was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. Trust 
me: The NSA, the SEC, the IRS and all the other three-letter government 
agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They know everything. 

 

Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists. So they are 
scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his 
impeachment. 

 

Fourth, why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you're a good boy, 
you've got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting.

Republican Leaders Are Lying To You. Congress CAN Nullify The Lawless Supreme 
Court Decree That Two Men Can Marry... And They Can Do It Tomorrow!

   This news might come as something of a shock to some of you, but 
Congress has the CLEAR and UNDENIABLE authority and power, under Article III, 
Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States, to NULLIFY the recent 
lawless decree by five unelected black-robed tyrants that elevates perversion 
to the status of marriage. 

   All it takes is a simple majority vote in the House and the Senate and, 
once it is done, the courts have no power to rule on it and Barack Obama has no 
authority to veto it. If Congress votes... IT IS DONE. 

   So why isn't Congress taking a vote right now? ... Why have so few in 
the media brought this simple Constitutional remedy to your attention? Senator 
Ted Cruz said it best: Sadly, the political reaction from the leaders of my 
party is all too predictable. They will pretend to be incensed, and then plan 
to do absolutely nothing. That is unacceptable. 

   Cruz is right. Their lack of action is UNACCEPTABLE, but you have the 
power to fix that right here and right now by calling our elected officials on 
the carpet. It only takes a simply majority of the House and the Senate to 
nullify this lawless Supreme Court ruling, and we want to see a vote NOW.

A Tyrannical Supreme Court Is The Problem: The Checks And Balances Provided By 
The Constitution Is The Solution.

   Now, some of you are already asking; if the solution to vacating this 
ruling is so simple, why isn't Congress doing it right now? We'll get to that, 
but first let's talk about Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution of the 
United States. 

   Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States states: 
[T]he Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and 
fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall 
make. [Emphasis Ours] 

   And yes, stripping the Supreme Court of jurisdiction on cases has been 
done, otherwise attempted and affirmed on countless occasions: 

    After the Civil War, a newspaper publisher was jailed under the 
accusation of publishing incendiary and libelous articles and Congress moved 
in and stripped the Court's jurisdiction to hear the matter. Nonetheless, the 
publisher asked the High Court to order his release and the Supreme Court 
UNANIMOUSLY stated that it had no authority to hear the case. 

    Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafy points out: When Chief Justice John 
Roberts was Special Assistant to the Attorney General during the Reagan 
Administration, he wrote a 27-page document defending the constitutional power 
of Congress to limit federal court jurisdiction. 

    A former Supreme Court Justice, Owen Roberts, went so far as to push 
for a Constitutional Amendment that would limit Congress' power under Article 
III, Section 2 of the Constitution. It actually passed the United States Senate 
in 1953 but then died unceremoniously. 

    And back in 1981, Members of Congress proposed 22 bills seeking to 
remove the Supreme Court's power to hear cases involving such issues as prayer 
in the schools and abortion. Unfortunately, the conservative revolution was 
just in its infancy and conservatives could not muster the votes in the Tip 
O'Neill-controlled House of Representatives to pass any of them. 

   But now... Republicans control Congress. Getting the votes needed to 
execute Article III, Section 2 isn't the problem. The problem is that patriotic 
Americans aren't calling them on the carpet to do it and you can change that 
right here and right now.

BREAKING *** Critical That We STOP Bill To Expand Obama's Power

Obama rushes to Capitol to save trade deal - Politico 


Fred, 

House Speaker Boehner is about to try the back door to ram through Obamatrade — 
he's at it AGAIN! 

We stopped Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) on it's first pass last week, but 
preventing it's dirty Union pay-off bill, Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), 
from passing. But Boehner is going to bring it back to the floor for a second 
vote TOMORROW to try and create a massive limitless welfare bill that creates 
huge new administration and entitlement programs on the backs of working class 
American's solely to benefit Hillary Clinton's  John Boehner's wall street 
cronies. 

There is not one Plumber who benefits from TPA.  Not one Carpenter.  Not one 
policeman, or soldier or fireman.  Not a single mom  Pop business and not a 
single factory worker. The alphabet soup of TPP, TPA, and TAA is a disaster for 
every American EXCEPT the kind that gives Millions to Boehner's campaign and 
Hillary's Foundation. 

But with your support, we were able to push Congress to stand up for principle! 

But we need your help again! 

While enough courageous conservatives voted in opposition to this bill granting 
Obama unprecedented control over trade deals that will allow him to back door 
amnesty and gun control, the Republican establishment is working tirelessly 
WITH Obama to flip votes. 

To save our country and our way of life, we need you to please do these two 
things immediately: 

1. Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and tell your representatives: 
Vote with the Freedom Caucus, VOTE NO on Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). 

2. Chip in $15, $25, $50, or more to make sure we can get this in front of 
every fellow tea party American. 

Your call DOES COUNT, even if you are not able to speak directly to your 
Senator or Representative... 

BUT YOU MUST MAKE THE CALL. 

We must get to members of Congress before the Republican leadership does. Let 
those true patriots in Congress who voted AGAINST this disastrous bill that we 
support them. And be sure to let those who succumbed to the pressures of 
leadership know that the American people will not stand for one of the biggest 
expansions of Obama's power since he took office. 

We won round 1 — and we must keep up the good fight. We cannot let Boehner 
sneak by in round 2. 

For freedom,

[MoLiCo] Fwd: ObamaTrade DID NOT get defeated yesterday!

['Fred Ellison' via missourilibertycoalition]

 Original message 
Subject:ObamaTrade DID NOT get defeated yesterday!
From:Patriot Action Network al...@grassrootsaction.com

Fellow Patriots,
If you browsed the headlines yesterday (Both mainstream and alternative media) 
you probably read quite a few that want you to believe ObamaTrade was defeated 
in the House. TheBlaze, Drudge, Fox, CNN... almost all of them came out with 
headlines suggesting Boehner and Obama suffered a major defeat. 

Unfortunately, this couldn't be further from the truth. As we reported 
yesterday, what happened yesterday was akin to a big political game of thrones. 
Click here to read our explanation if you're confused and not sure exactly what 
happened. 

In short, there are three key pieces of legislation needed to initiate 
ObamaTrade. Two passed and one was voted down. The most important of the three, 
TPA (Trade Promotion Authority), did pass. The piece that failed is the TAA, a 
bill that was designed to funnel billions of dollars into social welfare 
(unemployment) programs. 

While ObamaTrade cannot go forward without TAA, there is something important to 
understand about the political game being played with our future acting as the 
game pieces. You see, Democrats want TAA, but they didn't want it as it stood 
yesterday. Why? Because it didn't spend enough and unions weren't happy about 
it. 

John Boehner knows this. Which is why Boehner called for a vote on TPA almost 
immediately after TAA failed. You see, Boehner knew TPA was the critical and 
most difficult part to get passed by Republicans. We think he knew he had the 
votes (This was confirmed to me last night by a former staffer of Congress) for 
TPA and thought chances were high TAA would fail. But the trick is now Boehner 
can bring TAA back up for a second vote on Tuesday. He just needs to find a way 
to give Democrats the socialism spending they want. He already has TPA passed, 
so once he gives Democrats their spending he'll get TAA as well. 

Once that's done, Boehner, Obama, global corporations and the radical leftist 
global agenda wins. We all lose. 

Now I know some are running around the web claiming TPA is not the bad guy. 
It's true that TPP is the real cancer that will create a new world order, but 
it's also true TPP can't get its grip on the world until TPA is in place. 

I highly recommend you read our story about this by clicking here. The story 
explains why TPA is horrible and why Republicans were wrong to support it. It 
will help you understand what it all means, what is really going on and why we 
should all be demanding Republicans stop passage of TAA on Tuesday. 

Click here to read it now. 

There is a lot of misinformation floating around and it's important for our 
readers to have an understanding of what is happening. ObamaTrade didn't die 
yesterday. In fact, it may end up being WORSE than originally planned because 
now, if Dems get their way, it will end up transferring significant more wealth 
from producers to takers (From you to someone else). 

Don't let the media headlines mislead you. This beast is alive and well. Our 
fight might have slowed it down, but if we give up now this thing will rise in 
a way we could never before imagine.

 , about Dr. Annette Bosworth, and her future sentencing for the felonies 
(minor infractions) she committed in South Dakota, others were similarly 
anguished about Ross Ulbricht.

A judge just gave him two life sentences in prison for setting up the Dark 
Web anonymous trading service The Silk Road. He begged for leniency -- just 
give me my old age, the 31-years-old pled -- but District Judge Katherine 
Forrest proclaimed lawlessness must not be tolerated, judging Ulbricht no 
better a person than any other drug dealer.

According to the BBC 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001K8ClmwL3I4RdLvjl2x1D6zhuwRPQUk6KBXBjUyaW7LtlebEBr-70jbRLrSsPCu_rN6GtOOJ_NXekVhJCi5CsP5azJaiDgw_uvYWClTwdkJM3HeTpcVOM1E265Z3UY34kIcPeAhBy4y2LTP3h53xgRnbBq3w94akmAitDPlO9bcvRp0wxUA327xR9gtKUNvf0Eg36mu0xXty0IrcdXzUJgA==c=WqJRjndQ4G5d0xC6YvGbT9PQFEAgZPnv1xpU4jdEbBKJ-mlDgVEazw==ch=7DNmwPEXwNW3vYtRUZ2-2a_X2_zClLr3qxWBam3swg7N1oeGPOiJAw==
 , Prosecutors say that six people who died from overdoses bought drugs via 
the site and that such untraceable deals earned Ulbricht at least $18m. This 
is supposed to make us hate him as a drug dealer.

Which he wasn't. He set up a trading website -- albeit a no-tax, black-market 
one. The actual trades were the responsibility of the traders. Like on eBay. 
Emptors caveated, knowing what they were doing.

Curiously, his site could only be accessed using software produced by the U. S. 
government. Using the judge's rationale, maybe the federal government should be 
tried?

Some would say that drug overdoses are the responsibility of the drug users -- 
but more to the point, the main factor in illegal drug overdoses remains their 
illegality. Not given the sunshine of a legit market, actual dosages are hard 
to manage: producers don't usually bother with consistency, immune as they are 
to the reputation aspects of legal markets, not to mention any regulation or 
tort law influences that affect legal products' safety.

In reality, those six deaths are more a result of the government than Mr. 
Ulbricht.

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders made a splash last week with an 
off-the-cuff

 comment. You don't necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants 
or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country.


The candidate whose initials are B. S. doesn't call himself a Socialist for 
nothing.

The Democratic-caucusing Independent Senator from Vermont was expressing a 
tired old sentiment. See his error? (Raise your hand if you know.)

To make any connection between feeding the hungry and cutting back on 
competitive products one would have to believe there is a fixed stock of 
wealth, and that we waste it on different brands and whole varieties of 
antiperspirants and sports shoes.

But there is no such fixed supply. 

Supplies are concocted to meet consumer values, wants, and getting rid of 
competitive products means that some values are not being met . . . and that 
some folks are not being employed at the rates they could be with more 
diversity of commodities.

The best way to feed the hungry is for the hungry to feed themselves, by 
being productive -- if children, then being fed by productive parents. And to 
do that, folks need to find their market niche. Which might very well entail 
another deodorant or shoe.

There is a realm where one person gains at the expense of someone else: 
redistributive government. If Sen. Sanders wants government to give more money 
to feed hungry people, he should consider cutting back on some other government 
expenditure.

Why didn't B. S. suggest that? Perhaps more than feeding the hungry, he's 
interested in feeding government, and his own pride in his own b.s. ideology.

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

 School Choice Works





Private school choice is in, writes Patrick Wolf. Far from being rare and 
untested, private school choice policies are an integral part of the fabric of 
American education policy.


Now, these new ideas really upset some folks. I'm not one of them. School 
choice is greater freedom.

Freedom works.

Public schooling, on the other hand, is based on very different principles -- 
and principals. It's no wonder that a system based on compulsion (taxes, 
attendance, etc.) tends to have so much trouble performing well: it's not the 
forced sector of the economy that booms. 

Enter school choice. As long as kids must be forced to attend a school, I (as 
a parent) would rather decide which school, for both my sake and my children's. 
And if I'm paying taxes, and other kids are getting tax moneys for their 
education, vouchers are more fair.

Wolf, writing in  
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001No3wvogDqSVehhGQ6roH7-FyrJwogI6PzKJh0_EQePKLof6NNbl-am6UIgwvSjgCEiRW3A-kv8LjIWky1Ms7UbUjw7xLemc8XIYXnb8BxBERECYLYcOjzVhbnJ_EjGhFdL1HQUkwqaVD1kTDRZQ4OChcTRMIypoZpChx4q1jHY0__RnBZefAunkfrAO6gPxIGEhniNT6lQPNGhfaJjASerCYptDyDh0v5Z51b9eJ596dhcNcIWTI-A==c=43uN9QtRQrkbIfpHw14Ek-r4xLWSX9na72_sZbXX9A-NKbxrhXGjOw==ch=aW77AFD7yyI3mfuHndBACqyUPAsuli8v0-HwAYxAYa81edgaImJdsw==
 The Daily Signal, offers evidence that these eminently sensible policies lead 
to great results. In Washington, D.C., use of an Opportunity Scholarship 
increased the likelihood of a student graduating by 71 percent. Research into 
the effects of Milwaukee's program show it significantly increased the rates 
of high school graduation, college enrollment and persistence in college for 
the low-income students. . . .

Researchers at Brookings Institution and Harvard found similar results for New 
York City's privately funded K-12 scholarship program.

In his 1859 philosophical polemic, On Liberty, John Stuart Mill argued that 
parents have a duty to educate their children -- and society an interest in 
seeing these duties met. But that doesn't entail setting up government schools. 

It's time to catch up with Mill's 1859 wisdom.

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Alexander and Danielle Meitiv of Silver Spring, Maryland, have been 
investigated three times. First, when their children were discovered playing by 
themselves in a park a block from their home. The second time when police 
picked up the kids walking home from a park about a mile away. The third 
investigation was launched when the Meitiv's 10-year-old son and 6-year-old 
daughter were arrested and held for five hours for walking home from a 
different park.

Nothing came of the first investigation. In the second, CPS originally found 
the couple guilty of unsubstantiated neglect 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001yhpMMhADZD62fGyzmHpJffp_OLYQDpVvAHY3kWtwxPNxvqhzEJOXPPESHQJfo0f6bco1JzR9GA9y6ZNscV_q7tSqTARXgYCinjlFcBdB3_tzQak0oyD-d9g2cIQZOeXZvHo5KIY6tffqf1ohVCzL-Tj2UVivIid7W4ygJXVI7D1UsybIJ2ovwjqr-2Jxv-ueXYApJInyp3ENZdKgOE7oF4UZOqkoq0lxFADCAuWET6gysfDLrUyxgw==c=y13ZL0V3uorrppLcXzz_7eyys0cnBHn4KGK_aXbN42-d5Yb58qMEIg==ch=BxlDP3kWtHrvVTz78mWTYDBjjTExzBAQtdmf0AMRBH5FyLteIGL5NQ==
 . But last week, the Meitivs received a letter from Maryland's Child 
Protective Services (CPS) now ruling out neglect in the second investigation.

Gee whiz, it's good news. But the Meitivs still have investigation No. 3 to 
contend with. And CPS remains completely mum on whether the agency's letter 
means the Meitivs and other parents can now freely allow their kids to walk to 
and from public parks and other venues.

 

Or not.

Can we really live in the Land of the Free and our children not be free to 
walk in public? What kind of freedom is that? 

If the Constitution isn't sufficient to stop police and child welfare [sic] 
agencies from snatching kids off the street, terrifying them, investigating 
their parents and threatening to take those children

 Open Minds

 

Some claims don't persuade. For example, the claim that starting a conversation 
is an effort to end conversation. Or that one bullies officeholders by 
telling constituents what officeholders are up to.


But so contends a Columbus Dispatch editorial ( 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0015dNI9XSdKYrfDVLyJposSEfZw0INzG8BJ4AgJE66PcIb53b-gA1Ng2O0o6Jx5oh9fpqpaeQCGmvDP7eDNUeo3MraufMdfmCHx-fCFbF4sgSiw2qNQJe-mKe3O6kBrxaqUmwBLQskE_BMMtRo4nz7JoQjnuFhPW3j3QoQFqNREXWNgQFZiH_-IQlTnM8RKEtB0WDhtFNbT5d0_sos3d4VeLms3Ku49Pk7f_Cl9OZt1YA0WKoRDh315Sf45KMv4Lfm11qfi54AntaTYikyyTPNzQ==c=2rtAZJJgrBPJI6v_9V0W9Rnsh3w4aVrwm-4ebzUaK0VdIU0EaXRMug==ch=6jR-tBHsw0lPs_mdiBYWTL0PJMYP3nurcufGEli0JObBl3JPel0CyA==
 Don't let pledges close discussions) chastising U.S. Term Limits, my old 
stomping ground, for spotlighting pols plotting to pulverize term limits.

U.S. Term Limits advised constituents of Ohio State Representatives Bob Cupp 
and Nathan Manning that neither will pledge to forbear from weakening Ohio's 
state legislative term limits -- and that both men serve on a commission 
scheming to weaken the limits.

The organization's mailing is out of line in two ways, the paper opines. 

First, lawmakers mustn't surrender their autonomy to bullying interest groups 
but must consider issues with open minds. Should these open minds be closed 
to any reminders of the legitimate interests of constituents? The Dispatch 
editors write as if they'd never head of politics and political debate before; 
anyway, as if it should desist forthwith.

Second, the pledge itself is misplaced, because Ohio voters must approve any 
referendum Ohio lawmakers send to ballot; lawmakers can't act unilaterally. 
True. But why take even one bad step on a bad road?

How can the Dispatch's theme be that USTL seeks to close discussions of term 
limits? U.S. Term Limits would be delighted if all Ohioans engaged in loud and 
long discussions of term limits, as well as of what Ohio lawmakers hope to do 
to their constitutionally limited terms in office.

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

This photo was taken with some colleagues in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago.  I was 
presenting a talk called, Domestic Tranquility which is about some of the 
most pressing issues facing families today. (Video will be available soon.) 
There is an active effort to get rid of society's most foundational building 
block.  (From Left to Right:  Darrell Castle, Don Stone, Me, Ricardo Davis and 
Doug Aden)

 



If you were trying to destroy our Nation, you would have to destroy our Faith 
and our families.   The attack on the Dugger family is designed around 
destroying both.  Whether it's prompted by jealousy or hatred for intact 
families, there is little doubt that the politics of personal destruction is 
at the heart of this firestorm.  The war against the Duggar family is being 
waged by those who reject families. Chicago Tribune article:

 Josh Duggar. 

The Duggar Family is featured on a reality TV show call called, 19 And 
Counting.  Josh Duggar, one of the Duggar kids, is now being persecuted by the 
media for something that happened over 12 years ago when he was 14 years old.   

 

On the one hand we can say Americans tend to be guilty of the Cult of 
Personality Worship.  On the other hand, we still have much to learn by 
observing the success of those who have created a model of what should be.

We should be proud of the Duggars for all of their contributions to our 
understanding of how a family can work.  The Duggar family never advertised 
themselves as being perfect.  There is no such thing.  The point of any reality 
TV show is to demonstrate how they handle the surprises of everyday life.

This latest chapter is on how they handle problems with their children. This is 
a teachable moment.  Their story is one of how we can survive our own failures, 
how to ask for forgiveness, how we can grow up and become mature adults who are 
capable of changing so that we are not held down by past failures.  We all have 
our own stories, but here is the essence of the Duggar's story in their own 
words: 

That dark and difficult time caused us to seek God like never before. Even 
though we would never choose to go through something so terrible, each one of 
our family members drew closer to God. We pray that as people watch our lives 
they see that we are not a perfect family. We have challenges and struggles 
everyday. It is one of the reasons we treasure our faith so much because God’s 
kindness and goodness and forgiveness are extended to us — even though we are 
so undeserving. We hope somehow the story of our journey — the good times and 
the difficult times — cause you to see the kindness of God and learn that He 
can bring you through anything.

 Duggar Family website: Duggar News

True Hypocrisy: Planned Parenthood and many public school sex education classes 
are based on the presumption that kids want to do these acts.  Even those who 
have never thought of deviant behaviors are taught and enticed by their classes 
to venture into areas that should meet with parental disapproval. They are 
teaching school children that abortion is good, marriage is irrelevant, 
abstinence is a joke, genders are meaningless and perverted acts are normal ( 
http://cynthiadavis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f0ebe648fea91af22698b6bfcid=59da5e7cbde=eb9cb197a5
 Newsmax article: Sex Education Classes in California).   Why is our government 
funding programs that will show kids how to engage in this kind of behavior?  
http://plannedparenthoodexposed.com/facts/

I remember talking with my Senator, trying to get his support for a bill I had 
that would remove a sex ed mandate from our requirements.  He said, You know, 
I think you're right.  Before I took the class, I never thought about sex. 
After I took the class, that's all I could think about.
http://cynthiadavis.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f0ebe648fea91af22698b6bfcid=8cd7ff842ee=eb9cb197a5
 In some states, the goal is to start sexualizing the children from 
Kindergarten.  

The media lynch mob is using its best efforts to cause harm to as many people 
as possible, but we should not join them.  Those who hate the Duggars want to 
send a message that even they don't believe.  If  you look at who's pummeling 
the Duggars, you will find most of them are the same ones promoting worse 
immoral scenarios

Moral outrage is healthy when it brings about more honorable behavior, but when

 Edward Snowden





 Sometimes if you postpone something long enough, someone else will do the job.


 Last week, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mWo53185HgExhyS3t99G2VMtRWfd3QbRTeKMEq6L2bMM9YXmdILAxwFF8oGkSwxgh-A6v9iMiYAK_iF-gjQm5snYtD9R5HlORNipfxwHYVDNXocYvR6za7TRTkUQbMTBuJ-GWH3GhcUuzg5n5WgjScnH8N3nVuPLsD5hlUtNNBq2xOiijdwekXPlM4BYW1Dwt5f3c1qcq0Vzt_NHeqG1tA==c=oj74qaS_fdpzotuAeID7aFq6wu4JN8ya1xZyhpQwb1YtdTwS_d9qyA==ch=bl-hSo6lZBdqdR2875T9TroMDeGXmXcv8m6nVe5wsES7XItY36JWDA==
  the National Security Agency's metadata collection program unlawful, I 
immediately saw it as a vindication of Edward Snowden and his illegalleaks.


 It will be hard to charge the man with treason for uncovering programs that 
have been determined, in court, to be themselves treasonous -or at least 
unconstitutional.


 But I was busy last week; didn't have time to make the case.


 Nicely, Noah Feldman made it for me, at Bloomberg View. This is the most 
serious blow to date,writes Feldman in his May 7 article 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mWo53185HgExhyS3t99G2VMtRWfd3QbRTeKMEq6L2bMM9YXmdILAxwFF8oGkSwxgrIfcT9JlFbFib-WgkhICdox7hWqq8f6mMcYB8QlYjQNvBZSM1GKbv2LmfNFrLDgUq455wLHvxz72vX1XKOGX4CxxZDIYAb9KcHsWMcIZ0lroGTiON0AkEcCzoDvKMas0VEhrSXk6FshT6nbqtGXCLZzH3aKXs_8cx5KvpZd6fWfczK0d6bpN-3nDWIH7-o0Ubq8OidIMUP4=c=oj74qaS_fdpzotuAeID7aFq6wu4JN8ya1xZyhpQwb1YtdTwS_d9qyA==ch=bl-hSo6lZBdqdR2875T9TroMDeGXmXcv8m6nVe5wsES7XItY36JWDA==
 , a blow against the legacy of the USA Patriot Act and the surveillance 
overreach that followed 9/11.


 The linkage with Snowden is in no way an imposition on the story:


 The first striking thing about the court's opinion was how openly it relied on 
Snowden's revelations of classified material. The court described how the 
program was known -by Snowden's leaks. It also analyzed the NSA order to 
Verizon, leaked by Snowden, that proved the existence of the program and 
revealed indirectly the legal reasoning that the government relied on to 
authorize the metadata collection.


 More importantly, Feldman recognizes that the decision rightly breaksthe bad 
precedent of secret law created by the NSA.


 A republic isn't a republic if its laws are secret.


 Now, of course, it's time for Americans to cease their procrastination. If we 
don't recognize that our government is out of control, no one else's 
determination will matter.


 Except, perhaps, history's.


 This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

 This week I traveled to South Dakota to release an 18-page report on Attorney 
General Marty Jackley's prosecution of Dr. Annette Bosworth. In less than two 
weeks, Bosworth goes on trial 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lU_PbeCSnCFrwvs6BhF3ICkJFQAPPscXpCb4EZ6dhU_m98ZmdN6T13GW_e6_KYNnEZuPBWrFANn7tDMaL179ErKW_nTs4XM-4o3mFElfXrpzDgTSAhAbrB2FzgKkZMdodd3wuksp5X5lKsP25hdPmuHvAkcfHgxL3tXJ5Vg_08QOZECziRDCObA_atGRC1eBKBugxlTHJZeDjD5mdaZPlAW_GaKPPizfonOq5j6HIrzxxoXopJeZ24wTrAE6R3xZlynhJirSL1aqA60XENe37CZLX8vyELmIc=KMYDLbZq6O-BvGnACHQ954GwYdFzK7gWh8kZQJUhEKXGZblw-N4v4Q==ch=mW9l2nMSPJqY_yJh2hYGxFjq1rFOUQIh1kGV9TMPi3TCe-wJ6QVBZQ==
  facing 12 felony counts carrying a maximum penalty of 24 years in prison and 
$48,000 in fines.


 From my research, that's the most severe penalty any American has ever faced 
on a petition-related charge. Conversely, the transgressions alleged against 
Dr. Bosworth are arguably the least sinister ever prosecuted.


 She had made available, at her office, petitions to place her name on last 
year's GOP primary ballot . . . for patients and visitors to sign. During that 
time, the doctor traveled on a medical mission of mercy to typhoon-devastated 
Philippines. While she was gone, 37 people - including her sister - signed 
those nominating petitions.


 When Dr. Bosworth returned and the petition period came to a close, she signed 
as the circulator of those six petitions. But the circulator statement reads 
that she witnessed each signature being affixed.


 So Attorney General Jackley charged her with six felony counts of filing a 
false document and another six for perjury.


 While I empathize 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lU_PbeCSnCFrwvs6BhF3ICkJFQAPPscXpCb4EZ6dhU_m98ZmdN6T12jF2ZCAAUg-cyQSuPj74YJJKBVfUIqNmlmz-aw4xh7X_rU4v73Xh262MRYZOZo08qvh7MuGId71KMZxVC4w5xKq9W5Ll9BpYktb7rx_KjhAM5cFhVV56hf5IvVK1AXZvnulo1YReOEY7sqiP6cVHbEShbBDXQu_p6jrAX1VuaS7JfC_-DvBZLU=c=KMYDLbZq6O-BvGnACHQ954GwYdFzK7gWh8kZQJUhEKXGZblw-N4v4Q==ch=mW9l2nMSPJqY_yJh2hYGxFjq1rFOUQIh1kGV9TMPi3TCe-wJ6QVBZQ==
  with Bosworth's situation, my report was focused on the impact such an 
over-the-top prosecution has on the people of the other Sunshine State- the 
woman considering a run for public office or the fellow thinking about 
gathering signatures.


 Our election system should be open and welcoming. Not frightening.


 Petition rules must be enforced. But consistently, in a non-partisan and 
reasonable way-not by coming down in a draconian, disproportionate fashion.


 And not singling out someone the AG just happens to have been at odds with 
personally and professionally for years.


 AG ought not stand for Atrocity Generator.

 Unrest in the inner cities





 On Monday, pushing an expansion of his My Brother's Keeper initiative, 
President Barack Obama gave a talk 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001M2TBf8eOzUyY66-Xf3B78U1MYoIbC5hV6aXW_NgtPjlp41wZgdwD8KXet-BeNUyyEPDASIakPRATIlukMs0UXSFePaxIGLrErp_2VMtdPHhmcp_StR5R-vdb9896eEPWPuAYZjy_2k2GeyRJj-AewndGLU38nPiAYuKIJOBSITZNtTsfLPLSVHssbhg1mas6QUIMD3rXPEvepDhqdrt0-5bQhwQlKNjgO7JdlD-2wEtCv0lrKG_yRRjOu6CjKCqrrWal2lWMEBzgBxMPD3Mhz5iHcxdNbZ9Pc=OQ4QGa5KorHsRX3bEXb3oJVX4iOk62kzhH4QDjjaACV0vb-Mguh9Dg==ch=zo55oJIKgzPYEsF3DT5Thm9QdufS7CG6_Jpx-bUznundLagonFNBSA==
  about the recent rise in racial discord. 


 Does he ever ask himself, Under whose watch? 


 When the financial system melted down in 2008, candidate Obama - not without 
some justification - blamed President Bush and the Republicans. Why shouldn't 
he and his party be today held somewhat responsible for rising racial unrest?


 Wasn't his very status as the First Black American President supposed to 
continue the healing process between blacks and whites?


 In his talk, Obama recognized the sense of unfairness, of powerlessness, of 
not hearing their voices, that's helped fuel some of the protests. . . .Well, 
sure. But there would be no occasion for this were inner-city blacks not 
treated unfairly in the first place.


 The president wants to spend more money on education, for example, despite the 
high levels of per-student public ed funding in hot spot Baltimore.


 It is quite clear that other programs have done the most damage. We still have 
a War on Drugs, which is unpopular enough that it turns cops racist perhaps 
even against their wills - as I've explained before, police tend to focus their 
unpopular policing against drug use to the classes of society that have the 
least direct political power, most especially against inner-city blacks. 


 But even more bedrock: we see protests and talk about inequality during 
economic downturns. Obama should learn from Bill Clinton's initial presidential 
campaign: It's the economy, stupid


 Or put more bluntly: it's your stupid economic policies.


 This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Opinion: High-speed dreaming with taxpayer dollars
Joseph Miller
Guest Columnist
 
Big dreams with other people’s money.
 
That’s how one participant at a conference on economic development in Missouri 
described most infrastructure improvement plans. Local governments are all too 
willing to lavish other people’s money on grand schemes of a 
this-changes-everything nature.
 
An example of this misguided but common impulse is taking place in Nixa.
 
For the last couple years, Nixa officials have become interested in building a 
public fiber network. The city commissioned a feasibility study from SiFi 
Networks, a British fiber optic network developer, on building a network that 
would provide 1 gigabit-speed Internet to households and some businesses. The 
cost to Nixa could be almost $30 million, more than the city’s total 2015 
budget. 
 
Utility argument
The vast majority of broadband infrastructure, in Nixa and elsewhere, is 
privately built and operated. But increasingly, cities are treating Internet, 
and high-speed Internet, as a required utility. Indeed, having limited Internet 
availability or little private-sector competition may severely limit a 
locality’s ability to attract new residents and high-paying jobs. It may be 
reasonable for a city to step in where the private sector can’t or won’t 
provide competitive Internet access.
 
This is not the case in Nixa. A number of Internet service providers – ATT, 
CenturyLink, Total Highspeed and Suddenlink – serve the city. Internet pricing 
and speeds are competitive with many other cities.
 
It is not as though, without government involvement, Nixa would never get 
super-high-speed Internet. Suddenlink already has announced plans to provide 
gigabit Internet there.
 
Nixa’s plans for government fiber are born of preference, not necessity. City 
officials have stated they want to shed Nixa’s image as a bedroom community for 
Springfield; the city needs a special edge to make that transformation. Waiting 
for private companies to bring higher speed Internet at some time to some 
segment of Nixa at some price is, therefore, unacceptable.
 
Unproven strategy
The business strategy is interesting. Nixa, however, is not a business; it’s a 
city. Officials are not experienced telecom developers, and their money comes 
from taxes, not investors or customers. And there are risks.
 
If Nixa goes forward with an arrangement with SiFi, the city will be 
responsible for millions in yearly payments. If there is not sufficient demand 
for the new gigabit Internet, the system could quickly become a drain on the 
city’s budget.
 
Furthermore, by providing public broadband infrastructure at low prices, it may 
dampen the incentives for private Internet providers to invest their own money 
in Nixa. With technology rapidly changing, Nixa might quickly find itself with 
an outdated and money-losing public Internet infrastructure.
 
Having quality Internet access at affordable rates is important for all 
localities in Missouri. If the private sector truly cannot provide it in some 
of the more rural areas, local governments may be justified in providing it.
 
But in the case of Nixa, the need is simply not there.
 
Instead, the problem seems to be that the pace with which private-sector 
companies are improving Internet service does not fit the dreams of local 
officials. These grand plans, and the government’s ability to be an effective 
broadband provider, should make taxpayers suspicious. Because when Nixa 
officials dream big, they do it with other people’s money.

BALTIMORE BURNS, shops are looted, rioters attack firefighters with bottles and 
bricks. And amid all the violence and ruin, what drives the chattering class 
into a froth of indignation? That anyone would use the word thugs to describe 
the vandals and criminals reducing Baltimore to rubble.

As berserkers ran amok Monday, the city's mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, 
deplored the destruction 
https://twitter.com/MayorSRB/status/592843763178942464 : Too many people 
have invested in building up this city to allow thugs to tear it down.

That set the hounds baying. Rawlings-Blake was accused of using a racial slur. 
Baltimore City Councilor Carl Stokes angrily told CNN that calling rioters 
thugs is just like calling them the N-word. 
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/baltimore-councilman-drops-the-n-word-in-clash-with-cnns-burnett-over-thugs/
  The Rev. Jamal Bryant, who delivered the eulogy at Freddie Gray's funeral, 
repeated the accusation 
http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/29/us/baltimore-riots-thug-n-word/ :  'Thugs' is 
the 21st-century word for the N-word, he said Wednesday, and it is repulsive 
and it is offensive. Wale, the popular Washington, D.C.-based rapper, told 
Baltimore teens that Rawlings-Blake owed them a direct apology 
http://www.nytimes.com/live/confrontation-in-baltimore/rapper-criticizes-baltimore-mayor-for-thugs-comment
  for saying something so stupid. Others piled on 
http://mic.com/articles/116722/everyone-really-needs-to-stop-calling-the-baltimore-rioters-thugs
 .

It didn't take long for the mayor to surrender 
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/baltimore-mayor-apologizes-for-use-of-the-word-thug/
 . We don't have thugs in Baltimore We have a lot of kids that are acting 
out, she told a group of church leaders. For good measure, she blamed her 
little anger interpreter 
http://www.npr.org/2015/04/29/402971417/baltimore-mayor-under-intense-scrutiny-following-street-violence
 , pointing to her head in self-abasement. There was more apologizing online. 
I wanted to clarify my comments on 'thugs,' she tweeted 
https://twitter.com/MayorSRB/status/593443825038819328 . When you speak out 
of frustration and anger, one can say things in a way that you don't mean.

So now in Baltimore, which has the nation's seventh-highest violent crime rate 
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/blog/bal-new-fbi-statistics-baltimore-no-5-in-murder-rate-20141110-story.html
 , the nonracial word thugs is banished as racist — even when spoken by a 
black mayor. Thus the degradation of the public discourse proceeds.

Meanwhile, Rawling-Blake's forced walk-back was nothing compared to the 
self-mortification of Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass, two gay hoteliers in New 
York who hosted a small reception 
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/politics/at-new-york-reception-ted-cruz-is-said-to-strike-different-tone-toward-gays.html
  for Senator Ted Cruz on April 20. The business partners, longtime backers of 
gay-rights causes, strongly disagree with Cruz on same-sex marriage, but share 
his views on foreign policy. They invited a dozen guests to meet the Republican 
presidential hopeful over dinner for a discussion of politics. Apparently they 
were under the impression that in America it is permissible, even admirable, 
for voters to talk to politicians, exchanging thoughts on a range of issues.

They know better now.

Reisner and Weiderpass were savaged for having hosted the dinner for Cruz. 
Activists organized a boycott of their hotels, threatening to shut the place 
down https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/591723861806346240  as punishment 
for talking to the enemy. Within days, the businessmen were begging for

The Christian Genocide

This is a photo I took on a recent vacation.  The poster was on the front door 
of a store in Fresno, California.  It is heartwarming to know that this store 
is doing something to observe the 100th year anniversary of one of the greatest 
human life tragedies ever.






 




 



We should all be horrified to hear of all the barbaric acts as Muslims behead, 
burn alive and torture Christians.  This type of behavior is called for in 
their Koran.  It should sicken all of us to see this wanton disregard for life. 
 The man holding the position of President of the United States seems more

 interested in furthering the success of the Muslim extremists than protecting 
our own

 citizens being held in overseas prisons.

100 years ago this month was another year of horrors.  The Turks forced the 
Armenians to either become Muslim or die.  In some cases, they didn't even have 
that option.  Some became Muslim, but most were slaughtered.   
http://cynthiadavis.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f0ebe648fea91af22698b6bfcid=d3b1580f30e=eb9cb197a5
 A small percentage escaped.  

My grandfather, who was only a 10 year old boy at the time, was able to escape, 
but the Turks killed most of the rest of his family.  His mother also survived, 
but they were separated in the Arabian desert and found each other many years 
later in America.  As a child, I heard firsthand stories, not realizing that by 
now all the survivors would be gone.

My great aunt gave birth to a baby girl on The March into the desert to die.  
The Turks took the baby, killed her and forced my aunt to bury her baby in the 
sand.  It makes one wonder how anyone can be so evil.  Although she survived, 
she was never able to bear any more children the rest of her life.

How does a civilization fall so far down that the government would want to 
exterminate innocent citizens?  The purpose of this newsletter is to remind us 
that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance and God's grace.

WHAT YOU CAN DO...



We can all do something.  We may engage in different efforts to help, but it is 
important that we do something.
  

1.We can pray.
 
2.We can write a letter to a prisoner who is being persecuted.
 
3.We can donate supplies to persecuted fellow Christians.
 
4.We can attend a regional conference.
 

We send a big thank you to all the kind people who have donated to make it 
possible for us to produce our newsletter and podcast.   Because we do not have 
any other funding stream, your donation will be extremely helpful in our 
efforts to communicate.  Many people do not realize we are a volunteer entity 
and rely on their help and God's leading to continue.  If you would like to 
help, please send an email to:

Puffed-up Leftist Tyranny Punishes Dissenters


David Limbaugh


4/28/2015 12:01:00 AM - David Limbaugh


Forget for a moment the ever-failing economy, the implosion of our foreign
policy coherence, and our virtually unilateral withdrawal in the war on
terror under Barack Obama's presidency. If liberty lovers don't start
fighting back

http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png soon, we'll
forfeit our freedom of thought and religious expression under the assault of
fascist leftist activists in our culture.

Let's just look at two of the many recent events
http://townhall.com/columnists/davidlimbaugh/2015/04/28/puffedup-leftist-ty
ranny-punishes-dissenters-n1991139/print
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png that should have
us very concerned. As you may have guessed, they revolve around the
controversial matter of same-sex marriage. At the outset, let me say that
this issue is no longer about same-sex marriage or gay rights; it is about
our basic liberties.

First, we read via The New York Times that Ian Reisner, one of the two gay
hoteliers facing boycott calls for hosting an event
http://townhall.com/columnists/davidlimbaugh/2015/04/28/puffedup-leftist-ty
ranny-punishes-dissenters-n1991139/print
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png for Senator Ted
Cruz, who is adamantly opposed to same-sex marriage, apologized to the gay
community for showing 'poor judgment.'

What was Reisner's sin for which he is now openly flaying himself in faux
repentance? He and his business partner allowed Sen. Cruz to participate
http://townhall.com/columnists/davidlimbaugh/2015/04/28/puffedup-leftist-ty
ranny-punishes-dissenters-n1991139/print
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png in a fireside
chat for about a dozen people, which was not even a fundraiser. But as soon
as word got out, gay activists apparently mobilized in force through social
media outlets and phone calls calling for boycotts of Reisner's properties.

An ostensibly shocked Reisner, in an effort to stanch the bleeding
represented by more than 8,200 likes on a Facebook page

ranny-punishes-dissenters-n1991139/print
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png calling for the
boycott, apologized on Facebook. I am shaken to my bones by the e-mails,
texts, postings and phone calls of the past few days. I made a terrible
mistake, wrote Reisner.

Yes, he made the unforgivable mistake of hosting an event
http://townhall.com/columnists/davidlimbaugh/2015/04/28/puffedup-leftist-ty
ranny-punishes-dissenters-n1991139/print
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png for a
presidential candidate who has different views on social issues than the
fascist boycott organizers have -- and he has himself, for that matter,
seeing as he's a prominent figure in the gay rights community, according
http://townhall.com/columnists/davidlimbaugh/2015/04/28/puffedup-leftist-ty
ranny-punishes-dissenters-n1991139/print
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png to the Times.

Supporters of same-sex marriage, as many used to predict would happen, are
not content with their recent victories on the issue. They obviously want to
punish anyone who dissents for any reason -- including religious and
conscience reasons -- and also bludgeon those (such as Reisner) who even
inadvertently assist

ranny-punishes-dissenters-n1991139/print
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png those who
dissent (such as Cruz).

Next, we should consider the horrendous ordeal of Aaron and Melissa Klein,
who used to own Sweet Cakes by Melissa, a bakery they built from scratch in
Sandy, Oregon, in 2013. When they respectfully declined, on religious
grounds, the request
http://townhall.com/columnists/davidlimbaugh/2015/04/28/puffedup-leftist-ty
ranny-punishes-dissenters-n1991139/print
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png of two women to
bake a cake for their wedding, the happy couple filed a civil complaint
against them for failing to provide them equal service in a place of public
accommodation. You know, live and let live -- the attitude the activists and
their fellow liberal foxhole buddies told us they would have if they
prevailed in their quest to legalize same-sex marriage.

A group of unspecified people -- real or robotic constructs of social media
legerdemain -- went into battle. They got together and harassed all of our
vendors, Melissa said. The vendors, according to The Daily Signal, folded
and took Sweet Cakes off their

 Wisconsin attack on Free Speech





 Where's the outcry among campaign finance reformers?


 Silence.


 In Wisconsin, laws regulating political speech, along with the clamor for 
stepped-up enforcement,have facilitated an awesomely powerful prosecutor to 
launch dawn SWAT raids, dragging men, women and children out of their beds, 
stealing their computers and cell phones and ransacking their homes.

For what crime?


 Supporting an act passed by the state legislature and signed into law by the 
governor.


 And for having the bravery, or naïveté, to think we live in a free republic 
where organizing with others to promote ideas about public policy is a noble 
pursuit.


 Not a one-way ticket to Room 101

Welcome to The Michael Savage Newsletter, your daily insider report on all 
things Savage. 

In today's issue: Dr. Savage was outraged by an ad that ran in his local paper, 
the San Francisco Chronicle, in which over one hundred prominent Catholics 
called on the pope to condemn Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone. 

Savage, who describes himself as not particularly religious, couldn't believe 
the gall of these wealthy, shallow liberals.

Michael Savage's new novel, Countdown To Mecca, is now available for 
pre-order! 

A plane bound for Amman, Jordan goes down in the Caspian Sea. The crash yields 
no survivors except the Russian mercenary who hijacked the flight -- and a cask 
containing an agent of unprecedented destructive potential is missing from the 
wreckage. A carefully plotted terrorist attack has been put into motion, and 
the resulting chaos might be enough to push America toward another costly war. 

With the threat of a third world war looming, Jack Hatfield must stop the 
destruction ... before somebody can stop him.

  yesterday, I bemoaned the six-hour kidnapping of a 10-year-old Maryland boy 
and his 6-year-old sister for the terrible crime of peacefully walking home 
from a public park. The children were grabbed just a couple blocks from their 
home . . .


 . . . by police, who held them for over two hours before handing them to 
Montgomery County Child Protective Services.


 It was hours before anyone contacted the panicked parents.


 There's no law prohibiting kids from walking down a public street, but 
bureaucrats are threatening this poor family over just that.


 So, I guess we shouldn't be shocked that when an 11-year-old boy disagrees 
with what he's being taught in school about marijuana, and explains that his 
mother has used cannabis oil to treat her Crohn's disease and his mother is not 
a criminal, (a) he's going to be detained and grilled by authorities and (b) 
his mother may soon become a criminal.


 A raid on Shonda Banda's home indeed turned up two ounces of cannabis oil. Ms. 
Banda could be facing felony drug charges in Kansas, where she now lives, but 
she used to live in Colorado, where her use of cannabis oil would be legal.


 The Washington Post's Radley Balko identifies the absurdity:a woman could 
lose her custody of her child for therapeutically using a drug that's legal for 
recreational use an hour to the west.


 Today she has a custody hearing

 The state protectionbeing afforded the children in both of these cases isn't 
protecting them. It's terrorizing them.

should the position of believers be?

is misplaced, is it not? Is it not necessary that America decline and fall
so that God's Kingdom can be established? So what are Christians to do?

Are we to retain
http://www.wnd.com/2015/04/when-should-christians-abandon-america/
allegiance in Obamerica or the ObamaNation, as Jerome Corsi's No. 1 New
York Times bestseller called it somewhat prophetically back in 2008?

He cited, among other developments, the unbiblical, anti-God capitulation to
same-sex marriage, which I will continue to place in quotes
http://www.wnd.com/2015/04/when-should-christians-abandon-america/
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.pngbecause it is an
oxymoron. He suggested that we should disobey illegal or immoral executive
and judicial orders, but let us do so silently.

I don't believe that is entirely scriptural thinking.

Peter and Paul gave their reasons for not obeying the edicts of men in a
peaceful way when they conflicted with God's commandments.
http://www.wnd.com/2015/04/when-should-christians-abandon-america/ 

 http://www.wnd.com/2015/04/when-should-christians-abandon-america/
http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.pngThat's the
example for us to follow as America moves toward judgment and the wrath of
God.

Nations will ultimately be judged when the King returns according to how
they treated the brethren - Israel.

I do agree with the correspondent that America is under judgment. But that
judgment is not complete. I believe followers of Jesus should prepare for
the worst but follow the prescription He gives to believers for times such
as this.

As I have written many times before, I believe II Chronicles 7:14 applies to
us today - even right here in America.

Solomon had just dedicated the Temple to God, who was speaking to Him
clearly. While God was pleased with the Temple, he gave instructions to
Solomon as to what His people should do when they begin to see evidence of
God's judgment on the land: If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or
if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among
my people; he said before giving His well-known prescription for how to
renew God's favor.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear
from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land, God
said.

The way we are instructed to reform our nation is for believers to follow
that instruction: His people, who are called by His name (not the heathen),
need to humble themselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our
wicked ways. If we do that, I believe the promise that follows will be
answered: he will hear our prayers, forgive our sin and heal our land.

I've said and written many times over recent years that I don't think we
will find national salvation and healing through politics. I gave up on that
idea a long time ago.

But, we are not instructed to just wait on the King to address every need.
We're instructed to worship Him and pray fervently and in humility. Most of
all, believers are told to turn from their sinful ways, rather than merely
point out the cinders in the eyes of their neighbors. That's what His people
are instructed to do.

We are specifically told not to simply wait on the coming King to straighten
out the mess. Nor are we to wait on the rapture.

If His people, in America, were to follow the II Chronicles 7:14
prescription, amazing things could still happen, even though we are already
under judgment. That's what God clearly told Solomon, and, if we are truly
adopted into that covenant through the blood of Jesus, which I know we are,
it follows that it's never too late for this kind of revival.

But God's waiting for His people to respond.

[MoLiCo] Repeal of Springfield Ordinance 6141

[Fred Ellison]

Please be honest. Have you read the Springfield Mayor's Commission on Human
Rights Strategic Plan (2010) that requires all local businesses to attend
diversity training and certification courses? (Action 3.2).  If a
complaint is received, the Commission will monitor your business for
infringement of human rights or mutual respect (Action 3.3). The
Commission will 'collaborate with Springfield schools (public, private and
home school) to teach diversity (the values and concerns of diverse groups,
their norms and customs) so that your children will not be stagnant to new
ideas' (Action 5.1).  In coordination with City Government, add sexual
orientation and gender identity protections to the Springfield
ordinances/policies using the support of groups such as PROMO, a statewide
activist group (Action 6.1).

Now let's take a look at Springfield Ordinance 6141 passed in October, 2014.
This ordinance accomplishes Action 6.1 of the Strategic Plan by adding
sexual orientation and gender identity to the City's non-discrimination
policy. This is very important in that this substantially broadens the
powers of the Mayor's Commission to receive, hear and investigate
complaints and initiate its own investigations about alleged violations
of human rights (now expanded to include sexual orientation and gender
identity) (Action 3.3).  One of the egregious parts of this Ordinance is
section 62-40 which says the commission shall have access at all reasonable
times to premises, records, documents, individuals or other evidence or
possible sources of evidence, and may examine, record and copy such
materials and take and record the testimony or statements of such persons as
are reasonably necessary for the furtherance of the investigation.  Does
the City Council respect your  4th Amendment right to be free from
unreasonable search and seizure? Or, your  5th Amendment right against self-
incrimination?  NO, not according to this Ordinance. 

Another disturbing provision of the ordinance is Section 2-223(7) which says
that the Commission shall have the power and duty to make recommendations
to the city council concerning the development of policies and procedures
that will aid in eliminating all types of discrimination. This clearly
opens  the door for the Commission to recommend mandating the diversity
training in Action 3.2 and the 'education' of our children mentioned in
Action 5.1 (adding diversity training to public, private and home school
curriculum).  As you can clearly see, Ordinance 6141 is a dangerous
expansion of the power of the Mayor's Commission and the ultimate effects
are far beyond what might be gleaned from a casual reading. This Ordinance
is designed to overcome the limitations imposed by the court decision of
Yellow Freight Sys., Inc. vs.  Mayor's Commission on Human Rights of City of
Springfield from 1987. 

Based on the above facts and understanding of Ordinance 6141 and the MCHRCR
Strategic Plan, I urge the citizens of Springfield to vote 'YES' to repeal
this dangerous ordinance. This is NOT about discrimination.  Don't be
deceived, intimidated, or allow yourself to be silenced. 

Protect YOUR  Free Speech, Religious Liberty, and Freedom from Unreasonable
Search and Seizure. 

Vote 'YES' on Question 1.

Stand With Me Against New Taxes!

This is a photo someone snapped while Gregory Thompson was introducing me in 
front of the courthouse in Springfield, Missouri.   






 




 



People rarely speak out against tax increases because they don't want to offend 
anyone.  I certainly don't want to offend any of my friends who work for 
bureaucratic agencies funded by the taxpayers.  However, before the elections 
on Tuesday, I have a few facts for your consideration.

While I was in office, my constituents frequently complained to me about how 
much they were paying in taxes.  While I believe it is fully appropriate for 
constituents to dialogue with their elected officials about the level of 
taxation, in the majority of the cases, the reason the taxes are so high is 
because the voters voluntarily elected to place these excessive taxes on 
themselves.

If you don't like your level of taxation, the place to start is to assist in 
preventing the passage of these taxes at the ballot box.  Washington DC can 
raise your taxes without voter approval, but in Missouri the only way your 
taxes can increase is if the voters affirmatively go to the polls on election 
day and agree to a greater level of taxation for themselves.

By the time the office holders are sworn into office the only power they have 
is to vote to put tax increases on your ballot.  Putting the question to the 
voters spares them of their personal responsibility for the tax increase.

Here are some reasons why you should vote guard against tax increases:

1.)  Your taxing jurisdiction can survive on the level of taxation currently 
allowed.  The fact that they survived long enough to ask you for more money is 
proof.  My own city announced nearly three months before the election that they 
had already spent nearly two million to buy the land for the new police 
department because they are planning to move forward with or without the 
voters.  Let's see how they will do it without the voters!

2.)  When voters say No, it encourages the taxing entity to become more 
resourceful and more creative.  Perhaps those who want a new police department 
headquarters should first control their own spending, before forcing this 
project on others that simply don't feel that they, themselves, should be 
funding it.

3.)  If you believe in the cause, and others do as well, any project can be 
funded with private money through donations of others who share your vision.  
How about asking everyone who got a tax abatement or corporate welfare to pay 
something back?

4.)  When you vote for tax increases, you can be causing harm to your 
neighbors.  There are a lot of people in our communities who cannot afford 
another tax increase.  You may think you are well-meaning, but you are really 
causing your local businesses to possibly shut down or may be causing your 
friends down the street to forgo taking their family out to eat for the benefit 
of someone else's ideology.

A lot of people blame the tax assessor when they get their tax bills, without 
realizing that he has nothing to do with the tax rate.  Our tax assessor is 
only charged with the duty of making sure the properties are appraised fairly.  
It the the fault of the majority of the voters if they opted to have the 
government take more of their income and put themselves into greater financial 
bondage.

A year ago in my city, O'Fallon, the taxpayers turned down a proposal to tax 
themselves for a Justice Center.  It was an indication that they felt we had 
a good enough facility to adequately administrate O'Fallon's police department. 
 This year, the City of O'Fallon is putting nearly the same proposal back on 
the ballot.  

But that's nothing compared to what Fort Zumwalt School District wants.  While 
O'Fallon wants a property tax hike of 4.58 cents per $100 assessed valuation 
for the police department, Fort Zumwalt Scool District is asking for a property 
tax hike of more than ten times that amount---for operating expenses!.  They 
want the taxpayers to raise their taxes by 48 cents per $100 valuation.  They 
claim to be three million in the red.  
http://cynthiadavis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f0ebe648fea91af22698b6bfcid=4f64d93d58e=eb9cb197a5
  My question is why any efficiently managed government would go into the red?  

On top of that, the Fort Zumwalt School District

Resistance to militarized cops begins


New Jersey bans acquisition of tools of war without local OK

http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.pngthat ships such
equipment out on request and without charge.

The issue came came to national attention when law-enforcement officers in
Ferguson, Missouri, http://wnd.com/?p=1165035  outfitted like an invading
army, were deployed against violent protesters outraged by the shooting
death of black teen Michael Brown by a white police officer.

WND reported http://wnd.com/?p=1292635  there are some 17,000 police
departments nationwide equipped with $4.2 billion worth of equipment ranging
from Blackhawk helicopters and battering rams to explosives, body armor and
night vision.

It's all under the federal government's 1033 program that supplies surplus
military weapons to local officers, departments and agencies.

But now resistance to such militarization of local police has been enacted
with a bill signed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie that bans local
law-enforcement agencies from obtaining such equipment without authorization
from their local government.

According to the Tenth Amendment Center,
http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2015/03/first-in-the-country-new-jerse
y-law-a-first-step-to-stop-federal-militarization-of-local-police/  which

http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.pngthat militarize
local police.

The bill, S2364, by state Sen. Nia Gill, a Democrat, puts local government
officials directly between the federal government and local law enforcers.

This law interposes the local government in the process, giving the people
of New Jersey the power to end it, and at the least, forcing the process
into the open, the report said.

It was approved on votes of 36-0 and 70-0 in the legislative chambers.

With Christie's signature, it's the first state law of its kind directly
addressing the endless flow of military equipment to state and local
police, the report said.

The bill wouldn't put an end to the militarization of New Jersey law
enforcement, but it does create a mechanism for local communities to stop
the free-flowing tide of equipment.

Citizens now have the power and forum to pressure their elected officials
at a city or county level to vote against such acquisitions or face the
consequences come the next election. The new law also creates an environment
of transparency that didn't exist before, the center said.

Center officials told WND at least eight other states are considering
similar or related language,
http://tracking.tenthamendmentcenter.com/issues/police-militarization/
including some that have significantly stronger language than New Jersey's.

Tenth Amendment Center spokesman Michael Boldin told WND: Our view is that
the New Jersey law is significant because it represents the first salvo by
states against an unfettered flow of military equipment from Washington,
D.C., to state and local law enforcement. Other states are likely to take
stronger steps forward in the near future. Good policing is about acting
like peace officers, not a command and control military force. With more
federal control over local police being a goal of some in the federal
government, the New Jersey law giving final say over the receipt of such
military equipment to local communities is an important victory.

WND recently reported the American Civil Liberties Union was critical of the
1033 program.

 Vote Yes on Question 1


 

 



Dear Missouri Friends:

In three weeks, on April 7, residents of Springfield have the opportunity—and 
the power—to repeal an ordinance that could punish families and businesses for 
living out the Christian faith in their community.

Vote Yes on Question 1 to repeal a harmful ordinance that was adopted by the 
Springfield City Council last October. That ordinance added sexual orientation 
and gender identity (SOGI) to Springfield laws dealing with housing, 
employment and public accommodations.

What's wrong with that Springfield ordinance (No. 6141)? Let us count some of 
the harms:

1.  Private sexual attractions and behavior are elevated to the same level 
as—or above—other protected classes, including religion, race and creed. A New 
Mexico judge told Christian business owners, who declined a job photographing a 
same sex ceremony, that they now are compelled by law to compromise the very 
religious beliefs that inspire their lives. The judge added, It is the price 
of citizenship.
2.  Individuals and businesses are forced to participate in activities that 
violate their faith—or risk punishment. A commission found the owner of a 
Kentucky T-shirt printing company guilty of discriminating against a gay and 
lesbian group after he declined to print apparel for a gay pride event—an event 
celebrating activity his faith opposed.
3.  The power of the government is brought against pastors, Christians, 
faith-based ministries and businesses. Such laws have forced Catholic Charities 
in several areas to abandon adoption services, because they would only place 
children in homes with a mother and father.
4.  The privacy and safety of all are placed at risk, but especially that 
of women and children. Girls from a high school swim team encountered a naked 
man—who believes he's a woman—in a college sauna in Olympia, WA. The school's 
SOGI policy could not prevent the man from using women's facilities.

We could give dozens more examples of those harmed by SOGI laws, but you get 
the point.

If you live in Springfield, make sure to vote on April 7 and vote Yes on 
Question 1.

If you live outside Springfield, but have family and friends there, please take 
a moment and

This is a photo of the packaging for a flu vaccine.   You may notice that some 
of the listed ingredients are mercury and formaldehyde.  






 




 



America was founded by people who understood personal responsibility.  
Regardless of how you feel about the idea of vaccinating yourself, the tone of 
disdain and disrespect for those who choose to not vaccinate is unsettling.

The debate appears to center around vaccinations, but it's really more about 
respect for others, especially respect for the right of parents to make the 
choice for their own children.  Whenever government uses the power of the iron 
fist to shame some for their personal choices, we have a problem..

The animosity appears to be between the Pro-Vaxxers and the Anti-Vaxxers.   
It may help you feel some compassion to know that the majority of those opposed 
to forced vaccinations have faced a personal tragedy with their own children or 
a close friend or relative.  

Ultimately where you fall in your own understanding depends on whom you trust. 
There are risks on both sides.   
http://cynthiadavis.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f0ebe648fea91af22698b6bfcid=4d579bded7e=eb9cb197a5
 The Amish, who have a lower vaccination rate, also have a far lower rate of 
autism. 

If your child is the one who is brain damaged or dies, it's too late to take it 
back. There is no way to unvaccinate.  There is no reverse medicine, antidote 
or undo button.  It would be helpful if there were a test to determine if 
someone is sensitive or is genetically likely to have a bad outcome.

There are some myths at the root of the philosophical chasm.  Nobody knows 
everything that goes into re-wiring a person's immune system and nobody can 
guarantee the result.  All you can know is statistical data predicting the 
odds:

 8 Things Pro-Vaxxers Say That Contradict Each Other.   

Some bills filed this year flagrantly imply that children don't belong to the 
parents, but to the State!  Mandating vaccinations or disclosing private 
medical information is philosophically corrosive to personal responsibility.  A 
Missouri Representative filed a bill designed to humiliate parents who choose 
not to vaccinate their cherished children: 
 
http://cynthiadavis.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=f0ebe648fea91af22698b6bfcid=24ca0e5335e=eb9cb197a5
 Area Health Officials Skeptical of Vaccination Disclosure Bill

This proposed bill actually says:   

Any public, private, or parochial day care center, preschool, or nursery school 
shall notify the parent or guardian of a child enrolled in or attending the 
facility, upon request, of whether there are children currently enrolled in or 
attending the facility for whom an immunization exemption has been filed.


It makes you wonder if they should just pin a scarlet letter on these students. 
 This new bill is all about using the tool of shame and humiliation to achieve 
a higher rate of compliance.  

The additional information is of no practical value to the other parents.  
There is nothing anyone can do differently as a result of finding out who is 
not vaccinated. You could be in the grocery store standing right next to 
someone who had not been vaccinated and not know it.  

When lawmakers file bills, it certainly would help if they would consider the 
impact their bills may have on suppressing and extinguishing freedom and 
personal responsibility from our culture. 

 




WHAT YOU CAN DO...


1.)  Don't be led into the trap of issuing judgement and criticism on others 
who have not vaccinated.  They may have very good reasons for their decisions.

2.)  Check what kind of vaccination laws are being proposed in your state.  If 
you live in Missouri, let Rep. Franklin know that there is another side to this 
issue.

question why anyone in the Republican Party is pushing for ideas that strip us 
of our parental choices and personal

 Yeah, right.


 At issue is a $127 million construction project to build a new county 
administration building. Back in February, the Council voted 4-3 to move 
forward on the project.


 The total cost of the new building, including financing fees and interest, 
will add up to $235 million according to Jerry Gibbs and a group called 
Citizens for Responsible Spending. These activists filed a petition

  to demand a public vote on the issue next November.

 , their grassroots effort was quickly countered by the big guns: the city 
filed a lawsuit against them, attempting to block the referendum.


 The lawsuit didn't sit well with people in Pierce County.


 Why don't they want this voted on by the people? asked Gibbs.


 This is absolutely an abuse of power, decried resident Sheila Herron, this 
is bullying of a private citizen.


 Council Chair Dan Roach argued

  that the power to launch a court challenge must come from the council, which 
had not discussed it. He warned his fellow city officials: you are sending a 
very chilling message to citizens not to dare try to challenge what we're 
doing as the government.


 Last week, the County Council voted 4-3 to drop the lawsuit, bowing to 
political pressure . . . from the people they represent.


 In short, good government broke out.


 This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

 Well-Substantiated Insanity

 

In what sort of place are children taken from their parents, or parents 
investigated by the authorities with that in mind, because they allowed their 
10- and 6-year-olds to walk to a park to play?

 

Not a forced 20-mile march across Death Valley, mind you, but a Saturday stroll 
of less than a mile under normal earth conditions.

 

What sort of place? These United States - Silver Spring, Maryland, to be 
specific.

 

That's where Danielle and Alexander Meitiv's two kids, Rafi and Dvora, were 
picked up by police, on their way home from a neighborhood park.

 

A two-month Montgomery County Child Protective Services (MCCPS) investigation 
followed. Now, there's no law against youngsters walking in public by 
themselves. Local public schools don't provide bus service for kids within a 
mile of the school, deeming that close enough to walk. Nevertheless, this week, 
authorities announced that the Meitivs werefound responsible for 
unsubstantiated child neglect.

 

The good news is that the neglect charge is completelyunsubstantiated. The 
bad news is that official Free State busybodies seem to have not one clue as 
to what that word means.

 

MCCPS will keep a file on the suspicious family for five years. We don't know 
if we will get caught in this Kafkaesque loop again, says Mrs. Meitiv, noting 
that the agency left unanswered the question of what might happen if they ever 
again dare allow their kids to walk outside the house without adult supervision.

 

The family is appealing the nonsensical MCCPS finding. In the meantime, the 
Meitiv children will continue to walk in public as if it's a free country.

 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Judge Tim Grendell missed his calling. Given his dictatorial impulses, he 
should have been a Soviet commissar or ancient Egyptian vizier. O, but for 
time, and place, and the mismatches of metempsychosis!

 ashed out punitively at Nancy McArthur, chairman of the Geauga County (Ohio) 
Republican Party, for seeking to undermine his authority with vile criticism. 
What happened? Did she interrupt courtroom proceedings with her 
aspersion-casting? Shout obloquy as he sought to instruct a jury?

 

Nothing like that. McArthur was never in Grendell's court.

 

She did badmouth the judge, however . . . in private conversation.

 

The person McArthur was talking to is involved in a case presided over by 
Grendell, and, in a private email, reported on McArthur's comments. Grendell, 
somehow, got hold of that email.

 

His response? Slap a subpoena on McArthur, demanding that she show cause why 
she should not be held in Contempt of Court for making vile, contemptuous, 
slanderous, and insulting language directed at the Judge which reflects 
negatively on the integrity of the Court and impedes the Court in the 
administration of justice. . . .

 

Yikes. McArthur was actually threatened with incarceration for speaking of this 
judge as if he were the type to do the sort of thing he did. Fortunately, his 
attempt to hold her in contempt has been

This isn't the first time Grendell's judicial reach has exceeded his ethical

I was in Nashville, Tennessee this week attending the National Religious 
Broadcasters Convention when I was able to visit with Todd Starnes about what 
is happening to our Country.  God-less America pretty well sums it up.   






Tom Schweich




 



This was a sad week for Missouri.  Regardless of political parties, a loss of a 
life trumps all other issues.  Of all the emerging stories which attempt to 
piece together the reasons for his suicide, there are two we reject:

1.)  This was not because anyone was concerned about Tom's lineage.  If our 
country's voters have elected Muslims and homosexuals we have proven that 
voters will support their candidate (or their Party) more than any other 
criteria.  I am stunned that anyone would think Jewish ancestry is a negative.  
Most people I know would think it is a bonus.

2.)  Even if people say mean things, nobody can force someone to end his life.  
It still is up to the individual to interpret and manage his own circumstances. 
 
Here are two truths:

1.)  It is possible to look like one has everything---a great job, great staff, 
great office, great neighbors. a great family---and yet be unsatisfied.

2.)  Love, compassion and understanding are always desirable---even in a 
politics.  We can all make the world a better place by showing kindness in 
affliction.

  

My heart goes out to his family.

If you want to send your comments to me, I would appreciate knowing what you 
think.  You can send me your comments here:

 Remember that the US President only has jurisdiction over DC, federal 
employees, federal territories, and the military in time of war.  He nor 
Congress never have authority or jurisdiction over the American people.  They 
cannot impose any legislation affecting the people directly EVER.  They get 
away with what they do because people are not informed. Read the Constitution 
and be informed  M..


 
 
During our lifetimes, all Presidents have issued Executive Orders. For various 
reasons, some have issued more than others: 
. 
Ike - 2 in 8 year
 
Kennedy - 4 in 3 year
 
LBJ - 4 in 5  years
 
Nixon - 1 in 6 years
 
Ford - 3 in 2  years
 
Carter - 3 in 4 years 
 
Reagan - 5 in 8 years
 
Bush - 3 in 4 years
 
Clinton - 15 in 8 years 
 
George W. Bush - 62 in 8  years
 
 Obama - 923 in 3 1/2 years! More than 1000+ and counting Executive Orders in 6 
years...
Read some of them below 
 
  Next step -dictatorship. (Looks like we are there already!).
 
And most Americans have absolutely no idea what is happening.
 
 
WHAT IS OBAMA REALLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH ?
 
Remember what he told Russia 's Putin: “I'll be more flexible after I'm 
reelected?”
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 -- allows the government to take over all modes of 
transportation and control of highways and seaports.   
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 -- allows the government to seize and control the 
communication media.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 -- allows the government to take over all electrical 
power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 -- allows the government to take over all food resources 
and farms.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 -- allows the government to mobilize civilians into work 
brigades under government supervision.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 -- allows the government to take over all health, 
education and welfare function
 
.EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 -- designates the registration of all persons. 
Postmaster General to operate a national registration.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 -- allows the government to take over all airports and 
aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 -- allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate 
communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be 
abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 -- allows the government to take over railroads, inland 
waterways and public storage facilities
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 -- assigns emergency preparedness function to federal 
departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued 
over a fifteen year period.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 -- specifies the responsibility of the Office of 
Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into 
effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial 
crisis.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 -- grants authority to the Department of Justice to 
enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, 
to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to 
operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the 
President.
 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 -- allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to 
develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and 
distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money 
in U.S. Financial institution in any undefined national emergency. 
 
It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, 
Congress cannot review the action for six months.
 
 
Obama has issued executive orders that seek to harmonize U.S. Economic 
regulations with the rest of the world. These executive orders are yet another 
incremental step that is pushing us closer to a North American Union and a one 
world economic system.
 
Obama used the stage at the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s I have a 
dream speech to announce two new executive orders infringing on your second 
amendment rights.. 
 
The first bans the importation of antique military firearms for sale to 
sportsman and collectors.. He intentionally mislabels them military grade 
weapons to deceive the sheeple, but make no mistake . . . the order was written 
specifically to ban the importation of surplus M1 carbines, M1 Garands, 1903 
Springfields and other antiques coveted by collectors and sport shooters. 
 
This order is the death knell for the civilian marksmanship program.
 
Congress had previously passed the sportsman protection act in 1986 which among 
other things guaranteed that the importation of the historic relics for 
collectors and the CMP would not be impeded by unreasonable regulations.

  millions of customers to support so-called net neutrality policies to 
curtail the freedom of action of broadband companies like Comcast. Netflix, a 
huge suck of bandwidth, doesn't want to have to make deals with ISPs like 
Comcast to deliver service to its customers.

One goal of net neutrality is to prevent Internet providers from affecting 
Internet access via such nefarious practices as charging different rates for 
different levels of service (a ubiquitous form of discrimination without 
which markets cannot function). Mises Institute writer Ryan McMaken wants to 
know

  what problem the new regulations are supposed to solve: Who is being denied 
access to the web?

Since the Internet first became generally available, it has become only more 
widespread, service only faster.

Any problems caused by existing government barriers to entry should be solved 
by dismantling those barriers. But according to FCC commissioner Ajit Pai, the 
voluminous new regulations go in the opposite direction, giving the agency 
power to micromanage virtually every aspect of how the Internet works.

The FCC has voted

  to proceed with the regulations. The result will likely throttle the quality 
of broadband service.

Netflix and other advocates of the regime have also foot-shootingly increased 
the chances of intrusive new regulations of their own net-based businesses.

Any sweeping assault on our liberty is hardly neutral. Regulations like those 
proposed always favor some over others, the essence of partiality. What we need 
from government is not neutrality with respect to our freedom, but consistent 
upholding of our right to it.

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

 other day. Let me balance that out.


 On Tuesday's The Five, a Fox news opinion chat show, in the wake of the Mall 
of America terrorist threat, Greg Gutfeld  
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HL-MLyNJA4mCdQd82qCJiiMHD8ox5u1A-wr7DYm12NyydUZebmFcdyRyQjyjA8rmTKyqbBKGX9XkbCMGQwv6N5VjLzSb7KeMLKYow_uxwtA-7kMeKhQg1FVqMQeC-viwGGWXw-SoZ-pWqpJaQ1yeiY_Hi7mhV9MVjgpz6xUFiQHHC1t-FKOcdC1YxDzyjlJPuNUuztNHia0=c=9oUfOx0z0QS74UDqymDcyWoh7519peYOj9CxEYUdBziYlh4spHwPJA==ch=9akPvMoLzakeTJVm0WqMxtUTeDt623w0wK4sbIsfkResgYSCSxON5g==
 decried gun-free zones advancing the more guns, less crime argument that 
economist John Lott has more famously made.


 Mr. Williams expressed incredulity. I don't think that makes sense, that 
everybody in the mall has a gun. Let the police protect us.


 Gutfeld laughed. There was banter. Some accusatory explanation. Oh, you 
lefties! But then Gutfeld regrouped.

 

This is not an either/or - like everybody's armed [or] everybody's not. The 
concealed [carry] permit creates a level of uncertainty on the people that are 
choosing an attack.


 Other things being equal, the secretly (or discreetly) gun totin' are safer 
than the rest of society. The more folks who secretly carry means that those 
prone to violence face higher risks. 


 There may be more than one reason why gun violence has plummeted over the past 
two decades. But one must be this: as Americans have accumulated more guns per 
capita than ever before, as more households possess guns than ever, the 
celerity of punishment (that old Benthamite term for swiftness of bad 
repercussions) has increased, nudging the marginally criminal to choose to 
commit fewer violent crimes.


 Making society safer. 


 Since Williams seemed to have some difficulty with this, let's translate it 
for him: compare gun violence and peaceful gun ownership to viral infection and 
vaccination.


 It's herd immunity, only to violence. Just as the more vaccinated make us all 
safer, the more peaceful people discreetly carrying guns make us all safer. 


 This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

 Frederick Douglass and Justice Clarence Thomas

 

I don't know if Juan Williams is right about who qualifies as America's most 
influential thinker on race. But I hope he is.

 

In a Friday Wall Street Journal  
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mNaP2I-o-CwSMu6Rmc4iY0wpeJUe2UFJO2yrGOx9UFZZtYTQ82IB13CsOE5Xy5Jn_TJoltmKA9rcC-0uUqQpzkFPZwpSaabjuDcCLLhvleU9DLN0eP-agI6QUdYCoIYO5lga6ElOe7G3sgukyqR-mcV4zmq_SvJuenbpSe1pJR9CEHDSByHaRwdYWRtqDj_iy4JftXdfk70RpWUq4Dghg4Kep2N1yg_PFDTn5sY5DZJUVla02Ws42Gn34NUeOMNo_6lvjGdFTIJS6RKVv_KiLg==c=Eym9G2m97ssciK4ooU94N93kZ3rZWVgbQ8P1psfUb_GJGBsXIDv4Bw==ch=zQS8oG6IOcSliB7fnAEmr7FiQy9YP7dwzIUg5NFVV01hs3DZ5B_daA==
 op-ed, Fox News's liberal-leaning political analyst and author of Thurgood 
Marshall: American Revolutionary (1998), argues that our country's most 
important influencer of thought on race is neither some current and trendy 
academic writer nor our current president (or his outgoing attorney general). 
Instead, it is none other than Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

 

While more famous figures of African-American descent have dominated the news 
talk shows and airwaves and popular consciousness, Justice Thomas has gone 
about reshaping the law and government policy on race by virtue of the power 
of his opinions from the bench. While previous African-American racial 
activists and thinkers have striven to defend the rights of black people, 
Justice Thomas, the second black man on the court, takes a different tack. He 
stands up for individual rights as a sure blanket of legal protection for 
everyone, including minorities.

 

Opposed to perpetual racial tinkering, Thomas has marshaled Frederick 
Douglass's words to make his case: What I ask for the Negro is not 
benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice. And justice, in 
Clarence Thomas's judgment, does not entail a constant rescue-worker attitude 
towards minorities, or other disadvantaged folks. It requires nothing other 
than equality of rights before the law. 

 

And perhaps some hard work on the part of the disadvantaged.

Hats off, then, to Juan Williams for recognizing the importance of Thomas's 
common sense contention that black people deserve to be treated as 
independent, competent, self-sufficient citizens.

 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

NEW YORK - The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday conducted a two-hour
session with HSBC whistleblower John Cruz in its investigation of attorney
general nominee Loretta Lynch's role in the Obama administration's decision
not to prosecute the banking giant for laundering funds for Mexican drug
cartels and Middle Eastern terrorists, WND sources have confirmed.

WND was first to report in a series of articles beginning in 2012
http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/emerging-obama-scandal-1st-found-by-wnd-in-2012/
  charges by Cruz, a former HSBC vice president and relationship manager,
based on his more than 1,000 pages of evidence and secret audio recordings.

The staff of the Senate Judiciary Committee focused Wednesday on Cruz's
allegations, first reported by WND Feb. 6
http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/ag-nominee-eyed-in-massive-obama-cover-up/ ,
that Lynch, acting then in her capacity as the U.S. attorney for the Eastern
District of New York, engaged in a Department of Justice cover-up. Obama's
attorney general nominee allowed HSBC to enter into a deferred prosecution
settlement in which the bank agreed to pay a $1.9 billion fine and admit
willful criminal conduct in exchange for dropping criminal investigations
and prosecutions of HSBC directors or employees.

On Feb. 12, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced Chairman Sen. Chuck
Grassley, R-Iowa, had decided to postpone the Senate vote on Lynch's
confirmation until the last week of February, when Congress returns from the
Presidents Day recess. The decision is widely attributed to allowing Vitter
and the Senate Judiciary Committee staff time to pursue the allegations
concerning Lynch's role in the HSBC scandal.

 
http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/emerging-obama-scandal-1st-found-by-wnd-in-2012/
 Read the explosive backstory inside the HSBC scandal - how WND first
exposed the massive money-laundering scheme, the fallout from the
eye-popping discovery and the role Loretta Lynch played in Launder-gate.

Cruz called the $1.9 billion HSBC fine a joke, explaining to WND that HSBC
bank auditors had told him in 2009 that senior managers and compliance
officers in New York were fully aware the London-headquartered bank was
engaged in a criminal scheme to launder money internationally for Mexican
drug cartels and Middle Eastern terrorists.

The auditors warned me investigating the money laundering could cost me my
job, Cruz said. The auditors told me in 2009 that nobody in the bank was
going to go to jail and that HSBC had already put aside $2 billion in
reserves to pay the fine they somehow had reason to suspect back then that
the Department of Justice would demand to settle the case.

Cruz argued that a $1.9 billion fine of an international bank the size of
Hong Kong Shanghai Bank, the official name of HSBC, amounted to no more than
a few days operating profit. He described it as a cost of doing business
once HSBC had decided to launder money for international criminals.

Senate investigators to hear HSBC recordings

Confidential sources in Washington confirmed to WND that Jason Foster, the
chief investigative counsel at the Senate Judiciary Committee
https://www.linkedin.com/in/jafost , was directing the investigation into
Cruz's allegations against Lynch.

Cruz's charges and documentation were brought to Sen. David Vitter, R-La., a
member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, before the senator announced Feb.
11 that he was opening his own investigation of Lynch
http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/senator-probing-obamas-launder-gate-cover-up/ .

Foster is considered on Capitol Hill to be one of the Senate's best, most
experienced investigators. A graduate of Georgetown University Law Center,
he had more than 15 years experience directing fact-finding inquiries for
the Senate Committee on Finance, Senate Homeland Security Committee and the
House Committee on Government Reform, before becoming chief investigative
counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee in January 2011.

A Ride on the Private Side 


If you'd like to catch a flight without the usual delays and post-911 
regulation-inflicted hassles, used to be you had to own your own plane, charter 
one, or buy a time share in one. 

Now you can use a smartphone app to book a seat on a private jet -- just as you

pricey. But the New York Times reports

 . 

Those of us who lack the means to exploit this option-expanding development 
should still welcome it as a step in the right direction, away from burdensome 
regulatory regimes that slow us all down. I doubt we'll get rid of the 
regulatory bog at the airport any time soon. After all, we're still stuck with 
the government-subsidized USPS postal monopoly despite the competition in 
package delivery provided by UPS and FedEx. 

But without the pressure and example of such relatively unencumbered 
alternatives, our situation would be worse; our prospects, dimmer. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

February 19, 1942, was a sad day for constitutional rights, with President 
Franklin D. Roosevelt signing Executive Order 9066, authorizing the Secretary

Job Growth in 2014 


President Barack Obama takes full credit for the job growth in 2014. Democrats 
on the Internet relentlessly push these growth rates with typically goofy 
superlatives like highest ever or highest growth rate in decades. 

So, what did Obama and the Democrats do in 2013 and 2014 that led to the growth 
we saw last year? 

Well, Obama refused to renegotiate with Republicans on any unemployment or 
budget reforms. 

 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001faJ02ZCy1NhYmFjuQ-dA4X6oo84kIju2TKK9D54AH_vghytRaT2XLBTg3qC0o4XNbgF_0AC5xYpc84vZwQ3n_H_dKcxNQw6Zas2RQPG3YwfRh0TjwU1hlOY3Mv7nqB_4IKiffBgMrmlgNBY2SiMCgzdtKuhiAlImM-RD0ukqIW87jatbpHIbaA==c=603jIUm9yeViyv_VjIdmYG5i5Df4VNFBVAVNqBdP090GvZt_ZyAF1A==ch=8wrSAfD-2XDb23ZNswLVCodw9vEUbiSP9_yn1w7CD0JQxuz8wYajLw==
 As 2013 ended, we heard Democrats complaining that stingy Republicans were 
letting federal government extensions of unemployment compensation (which had 
been re-extended many times) lapse altogether. Obama predicted disaster. The 
Keynesian economists who circle the Democratic Party like moths to a candle 
held to a simple prophecy: because of a hit to aggregate demand, unemployment 
would increase. 

Instead, in 2014 employment bounced back. 

In a droll quasi-opinion piece, President Costanza's Jobs Boom 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001faJ02ZCy1NhYmFjuQ-dA4X6oo84kIju2TKK9D54AH_vghytRaT2XLBTg3qC0o4XNIXQoOqJm_uf03hJ7ExyKEXqJXRXVXNybTLTKX8rYjQK2xt_805HTdaZ_HfXSzy8d2Q707v3KIfX2_JaaWtMHwJ0GtIkX3wWQYNyBpFr41VDmduNgS4fz2Pko9HXx6wiL90m3bQXHJUJxoP6jxuRXiaQZJm-A_E2lwSSHunU0Cms=c=603jIUm9yeViyv_VjIdmYG5i5Df4VNFBVAVNqBdP090GvZt_ZyAF1A==ch=8wrSAfD-2XDb23ZNswLVCodw9vEUbiSP9_yn1w7CD0JQxuz8wYajLw==
 , the Wall Street Journal reports that job growth in 2014 was roughly 25 
percent higher than any post-2009 year. Joblessness plunged to 5.6 percent from 
6.7 percent. Net job creation averaged 246,000 a month. 

Citing a National Bureau of Economic Research study 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001faJ02ZCy1NhYmFjuQ-dA4X6oo84kIju2TKK9D54AH_vghytRaT2XLBTg3qC0o4XNn2GXMH6GdqVdf-iRvFgFKLwOcB6my0A9WcsZOYw0fH8J1y3l-bZ8L9gzuMAfhjshbRYid_-qZmWw3cSSYi-EZcQOh14G4PZ5ulARhzzGMG8dqGK2SkdVcLejStvt1mjLc=603jIUm9yeViyv_VjIdmYG5i5Df4VNFBVAVNqBdP090GvZt_ZyAF1A==ch=8wrSAfD-2XDb23ZNswLVCodw9vEUbiSP9_yn1w7CD0JQxuz8wYajLw==
  by economists Marcus Hagedorn, Iourii Manovskii and Kurt Mitman, which 
treated the abrupt policy change as a natural experiment, the Journal reveled 
in the knowledge that the increase in incentives from lapsed benefits led 
unemployed workers to (gasp!) seek jobs. 

And they found them. Granted, many of the new jobs are not as good as their 
pre-bust jobs. But they are jobs, which is better than nothing. 

So when your big-government promoting friends attribute 2014's job growth to 
Democratic policies, ask which policies, precisely. And ask why Obama's 
predictions of 2013 for disaster in 2014 didn't pan out. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

On Feb. 16, 1878, the Bland-Allison Act, which provided for a return to the 
minting of silver coins, became U.S. law. Today, the value of American money is 
secured only by public faith in the stability of the government, but during the 
19th Century, money was backed by actual deposits of silver and gold.

  http://agorafinancial.com/temp/timestamps/z.gif It says something about 
life in these United States in 2015 when the CEO of the premier public-opinion 
polling firm frets on national TV that he might suddenly disappear for 
calling BS on the government's unemployment numbers. 

On Tuesday, Gallup CEO Jim Clifton posted a column on his firm's website 
declaring, The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the 
suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the 
depressingly underemployed, amounts to a big lie. 

True, he's not the first public figure to denounce the jobs numbers so 
forcefully. Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch groused in 2012 about how 
these Chicago guys will do anything. But that was sheer political hackery 
four weeks before a presidential election. And it was especially rich given 
Welch's own history of number-fudging: You don't beat earnings estimates by 
exactly a penny per share, quarter after quarter, by happenstance. 

But coming from Clifton, the accusation has more gravitas. His column describes 
how the unemployment rate excludes legions of Americans who've given up looking 
for work... and legions more who work part time but want to work full time. 

It's no great revelation if you've been reading The 5 for -- well, from the 
beginning in 2007, or nearly any time since. But Clifton put the facts before a 
new audience. 

  http://agorafinancial.com/temp/timestamps/z0025.gif   On Wednesday, Clifton 
went on CNBC to clarify his remarks. Lie was perhaps too strong, he said. 
Deceptive was more precise. 

I think that the number that comes out of BLS [Bureau of Labor Statistics] and 
the Department of Labor is very, very accurate, he explained. I need to make 
that very, very clear so that I don't suddenly disappear. I need to make it 
home tonight. 

Hmmm... 

Otherwise, Clifton stuck to his guns. The number of full-time jobs as a percent 
of the adult population is the worst it's been in 30 years. Restoring the 
American middle class would require a bare minimum of 10 million new, good 
jobs. 

  http://agorafinancial.com/temp/timestamps/z0045.gif The brouhaha is timely, 
seeing as the BLS delivered its monthly jobs report this morning. 

The wonks conjured 257,000 new jobs for January. The numbers for December and 
November were revised upward. The unemployment rate -- the U-3 figure cited 
in the media -- edged up to 5.7%. 

As it happens the BLS publishes a number that's more reflective of the true 
unemployment rate: It's called the U-6 figure. It clocks in at 11.3%. 

But even that number is incomplete. If you gave up looking for work longer than 
a year ago, you're not counted in U-6. 

That's where the economist John Williams' work proves its worth. His Shadow 
Government Statistics website includes all those people the U-6 figure 
excludes... which happens to be the way the BLS calculated the U-3 figure 
during the 1970s. 
That number grew in January from 23.0% to 23.2%. It's been hovering in the 23% 
range -- record territory -- since May 2012.

  http://agorafinancial.com/temp/timestamps/z0115.gif Wall Street's reaction 
to the job numbers -- cautious. Because the 257,000 new jobs were more than the 
expert consensus was counting on. 

In the topsy-turvy world since the Panic of 2008, any economic number that 
surprises to the upside creates trepidation among traders that the Federal 
Reserve might dial back on the monetary heroin going into the Street's veins. 

Thus are the major U.S. stock indexes up only modestly as we write -- the Dow 
moving past 17,900, the SP at 2,070. 

Treasuries continue to sell off, the 10-year yield now up to 1.92%. And gold is 
selling off hard -- down $32 at last check, to $1,233. 

Crude? Yet another 2%-or-greater move today -- up a buck as we write, to 
$51.51.

Diverse Drivers' Data 


The idea of a Surveillance State, where government watches and records our 
every move, is usually billed to us as a matter of protection. 

That's sure a good way to sell us tyranny. 

True, we do sometimes receive protection from governments that keep tabs on us 
about what we do, where we go, who we see. But if this sort of thing doesn't 
also give you the creeps, I am at a loss. 

I hear from friends in the Libertarian Party of Virginia 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aO1uD8Id2xDLA6l-XBrZMSOAAuceXnBIZMY6feP5sM7FsO2p2V72p8F81EkcDC7CiljdDskNJI3Wct9x05XDd592N1GQffoNypMuhmcKAxyOsaVr23LYlxNX6KPKAZgvBq29QZ2Ma661M0AuLnok78bxPmUNYY6zhme7Jb2I_K1B9JEeW76Ok8V286Dh_o5mWo7Ms9rHG3a7_eeocs5IHnN4ohrw2Ip9c=GCUEWH1XNkjg4e4mgbpPHvWVhZ7y5Bzbiw1iCiruI_8wlZ4J-du0dA==ch=xI3MLu4FWeeOX5bys4I4uRzHWAXC6ZVP5ZhgTFJA1tyX4Q0n-xoatw==

  would limit the length of time state and local governments may keep data on 
citizens' driving habits. 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/redlight.jpg Right now, governments 
collect a lot of information via license-plate reading cameras, and there are 
no legal limits on how long the information can be kept; some jurisdictions do 
keep data indefinitely. AAA Mid-Atlantic, an automobile service organization, 
is backing the legislation, pushing for a legal limit. AAA believes that the 
retention period should be limited to the time necessary to compare it with 
local and national crime data banks, a press release states 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aO1uD8Id2xDLA6l-XBrZMSOAAuceXnBIZMY6feP5sM7FsO2p2V72p8F81EkcDC7Cju9r0cMpJjtASQqOYfX5IiIVE08Z4aQwA1cW1VdGP5s1q-zfnMymW2Qwrhnof5T7sL1olA__s1teZui0zVjuGPzvhV4OpDOWRJrV5YnxzwoFIoPS3T_Uk6NCV0MRui6Ju4yfVnYnGflMp1KJ9BRhk3ndW4PATv-C-aEf1aAKCo26txUHXmwhJToG6viF_Mrkc=GCUEWH1XNkjg4e4mgbpPHvWVhZ7y5Bzbiw1iCiruI_8wlZ4J-du0dA==ch=xI3MLu4FWeeOX5bys4I4uRzHWAXC6ZVP5ZhgTFJA1tyX4Q0n-xoatw==
 , adding that the limit should reflect the rather short amount of time 
required, which is a matter of hours or days, not months or years. 

We don't advocate limits on this kind of data to protect criminals, but to 
reduce temptation to those folks in government who might abuse their positions 
for personal gain or bureaucratic mission creep. 

Governments tracking and recording our every move just isn't safe -- even if 
our safety is the professed goal. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Herd Immunity 


Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama gave cautious support for the anti-vaxxer 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013fCK-ThFwSZtyjLQZyg6GlDvSlQ3SoUzHWV5OWEhLrp6m_pPy_6j_suFuAKVK0sPWFLILPpY2jNVMCJbYiK5PALK0e-VvSjf2eSA2LzYYUqHebX9-6nwTovuGRR2TD6cXmlp-YtpoDa4n2aFsPw61AOlpgFAzyFjkoHXAYNxZYJtwRogqkcNF0FG4zg4p0koa4qZlxs6t3k=c=SakZeYTCzDJ66s98ui7PX_ygTUyM_7xLCPipU98FaPxPjxjXZvk5qg==ch=lHfx3i2apYunBAnFuNZ51p6H67YCiJZkDSB50rfqIfIUHaJt-Op-fg==
  cause a few years ago. No scandal. 

But only now that Republican politicians Chris Christie and Rand Paul have 
talked about the risks of (as well as of parental rights and responsibility 
regarding) childhood vaccination has the issue of mandatory vaccination finally 
hit big. 

Ronald Bailey offers 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013fCK-ThFwSZtyjLQZyg6GlDvSlQ3SoUzHWV5OWEhLrp6m_pPy_6j_suFuAKVK0sPR8--TyFincwsX0ecwLqWnWTwbkMhPN-PsqNLiBzz0ZkQgTDyD2lBiIhvLg6Od-pnTqYLSTTw9SXe3JZeag0EEvONLIaVdxODc1055zhymxi2uUZbVo-77Un-8lsw8GNIRrFbdlWwXeuxHyfqG0jsw7CVA60nuLyIayXnAtJ-MYAWdJnECX0HIC04XuonEhQ7TbwgOMoJY9Q=c=SakZeYTCzDJ66s98ui7PX_ygTUyM_7xLCPipU98FaPxPjxjXZvk5qg==ch=lHfx3i2apYunBAnFuNZ51p6H67YCiJZkDSB50rfqIfIUHaJt-Op-fg==
  a more modest proposal. Vaccination is arguably the greatest public health 
triumph of the past century, he  begins.  But he argues not for mandating 
vaccines, but for social pressure: person-to-person shaming and shunning. 

That is one traditional (and less politically extreme) way to solve such 
problems. 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/vaccineshot.png But what is that 
problem, at base? Those who fear a negative personal effect from vaccination 
(and there are some, though the autism charge appears to be bogus 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013fCK-ThFwSZtyjLQZyg6GlDvSlQ3SoUzHWV5OWEhLrp6m_pPy_6j_iMv6gG2WVaPCF_Rtnu0EIPCHgWANe_IRZ5W0QDQoPzabt-XIU1xypyMmNjs0eZzpHgMFxcc7_6bDYoQKSDFr0_D1G45uygLL7M4bjehPToXI7g7kC1739g=c=SakZeYTCzDJ66s98ui7PX_ygTUyM_7xLCPipU98FaPxPjxjXZvk5qg==ch=lHfx3i2apYunBAnFuNZ51p6H67YCiJZkDSB50rfqIfIUHaJt-Op-fg==
 ) become free riders, as economists like to put it. They gain a de facto 
immunity without having to pay -- either in money or in the small risk that 
vaccination does demonstrate. 

This particular free rider benefit depends on the concept of herd immunity 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013fCK-ThFwSZtyjLQZyg6GlDvSlQ3SoUzHWV5OWEhLrp6m_pPy_6j_suFuAKVK0sP_vgPOY08YIKsaBYAWhUyHJNUZB_drCsl0EVrXEwGkPzcWI3W-hm83NkRG-FZqHv9m9cVTSXuiYQlUt5KX7z-A4I_6g4ud6Am5mp9YY_g7saC-Y-93oAUW1jzYjXUE0S-IUZEGzhsni4=c=SakZeYTCzDJ66s98ui7PX_ygTUyM_7xLCPipU98FaPxPjxjXZvk5qg==ch=lHfx3i2apYunBAnFuNZ51p6H67YCiJZkDSB50rfqIfIUHaJt-Op-fg==
 . That's the conjectured level of protection for individuals who lack 
biological immunity by the overwhelming presence of vaccinated people in a 
population who are immune. (The disease can't spread because it hits too many 
dead ends in healthy hosts.) 

As has been often noted the last few days, though the anti-vaxxer trend has 
mainly tended to infect (as a meme) urban populations of left-leaning folks 
-- epitomized by Hollywooders Jenny McCarthy

Against Enabling Segregation 


Rosa Parks, born February 4, 1913, became a symbol of the Civil Rights Movement 
for her actions 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012dkIBU-z-VzL5kwYdA-xJBRUXuo5mqzpX4jUQPY63F6Uw6ZTnSe_Q6zQeAjSvl8ma1QmAAhbdfGWdm7NpAPJhnHOhMuNMwi5wYw4hp9McLXVGqNTDxww3WCOgUQVu9iPv2QmYh7WAgvQ4MpsLkdflyijTqKHXzYAyBLJiVwaJTpULDKM2tWSVpZqzKNbBTHhoUcJSePhkH5vGO9Oy9hSIfwg6yFXa-_GOKhjbz1EXL8=c=LAnGtEb0njRj-uWf5RHIc7mphtdOaoaV3f5PoHndMcbGihbHgnJAvA==ch=ydm8Bno0SXCJdhRkp5_ZbhnOrbHcyRTI2f7NQvlN0_e_3atQTbIhgA==
  on December 1, 1955. Ordered to move from the first row of the colored 
section after seats reserved for white passengers had filled up, Parks refused. 

When that white driver stepped back toward us, when he waved his hand and 
ordered us up and out of our seats, I felt a determination cover my body like a 
quilt on a winter night. 

Economist Thomas Sowell believes 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0012dkIBU-z-VzL5kwYdA-xJBRUXuo5mqzpX4jUQPY63F6Uw6ZTnSe_Q6zQeAjSvl8mFl3sIjvmbBwU-oQvNGVoeanLs4zeXTTdE7CrBrFYGhciYsSr7F3UqXkIX5XuMOrJlpAYVNQ7KMcTeY_r3g4V0YSsVehGtP2FHFA_T9qpb3r15sfdIbTEIgEJ683WnQL1YQJKK-K_UdrthkfW2K9yWuM6EjCY1xAQeyZyJK1DQBjGcMBNM5v44g==c=LAnGtEb0njRj-uWf5RHIc7mphtdOaoaV3f5PoHndMcbGihbHgnJAvA==ch=ydm8Bno0SXCJdhRkp5_ZbhnOrbHcyRTI2f7NQvlN0_e_3atQTbIhgA==
  that the conflict might never have even come up as an issue, had the bus been 
privately run. 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/RosaParksBus.png Why was there 
racially segregated seating on public transportation in the first place? he 
asked on the occasion of her death in 2005. [T]here was certainly plenty of 
racism in the South, going back for centuries. But racially segregated seating 
did not have the same unbroken history. Sowell pointed out that no matter what 
their own views, owners of the private transit lines of the 19th and early 20th 
century lacked motive to enforce segregation and thereby alienate many of their 
passengers. 

When markets aren't overrun by politics, both buyers and sellers must focus on 
the value they want from trade -- a good product or competent service. 
Participants are penalized if they routinely set aside those benefits in order 
to indulge an animus. 

In the 20th century, the trend towards taxpayer-funded mass transit displaced 
economic incentives with political ones. 

Only governments can force entire industries to routinely act on an irrational 
prejudice. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

On February 4, 1789, George Washington was unanimously elected as the first 
President of the United States, under the new Constitution, by the U.S. 
Electoral College. On the same date five years later, the French legislature 
abolished slavery throughout all territories of the French Republic.

 . I went into science with the misguided belief that science provides 
answers. Too often, it doesn't. Some physical problems are simply too 
difficult. Two scientists can examine the same data and come to exactly 
opposite conclusions about causation. 

In other words, it's like all sciences of complex phenomena. Like social 
science — economics, for instance. 

But he's not complaining that it's hard. He's complaining that it's been taken 
over. 

By ideologues.

 When it comes to climate change, scientific nuance is gone: 

We still don't understand what causes natural climate change to occur, so we 
simply assume it doesn't exist. This despite abundant evidence that it was just 
as warm 1,000 and 2,000 years ago as it is today. Forty years ago, climate 
change necessarily implied natural causation; now it only implies human 
causation.

This unscientific leap to the now-de rigueur anthropogenic conclusion 
depresses him. 

Understandably. Take the latest news pitch, the NOAA and NASA reports that last 
year, 2014, stands as the hottest on human record. 

No, it isn't, Spencer says. 

Such claims are based on compromised data that most respectable climate 
scientists now avoid: surface temperature recordings, not satellite data. Such 
hottest ever reports feed the insatiable appetite the public has for 
definitive, alarming headlines. It doesn't matter that even in the thermometer 
record, 2014 wasn't the warmest within the margin of error. 

But journalists, often moonlighting as lazy political activists, went into 
journalism so they wouldn't have to deal with such technical mumbo-jumbo as 
margins of error. 

And politicians are worse. 

I guess that leaves the job of common-sense skeptic to you and me. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

WND EXCLUSIVE


Media black out 200,000 marching Americans


News outlets slammed for ignoring massive pro-life event


Published: 16 hours ago

march_for_life_2015

An estimated 200,000 people joined in a March for Life in Washington, D.C.,
bringing to the streets in front of Congress their plea for protection of
the unborn.

It was double the number of people that go to even the biggest football
games or indoor concerts.

Yet the establishment media was virtually absent.

WND Editor and CEO Joseph Farah has joined with Media Research Center and
more than 20 pro-life groups in denouncing the establishment TV networks for
failing to cover this year’s March for Life, held last week.

According to MRC, CBS was the only major broadcast network that covered the
march - and the coverage was limited to 15 seconds during a discussion of
moderate Republican opposition to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection
Act.

In the meantime, NBC, ABC and Spanish-language networks Univision and
Telemundo did not mention the march at all.

“It’s not surprising when the big media ignore large gatherings in
Washington - year after year - of hundreds of thousands of pro-life
activists, but it is unprofessional and betrays their absolute bias,” Farah
said.

Other organizations that have joined MRC in condemning the establishment
media include the Catholic League, Liberty Council, the Hispanic Leadership
Fund, Concerned Women for America and Human Life International.

Troy Newman, co-author of “Abortion Free: Your Manual for Building a
Pro-Life America One Community at a Time,”
http://superstore.wnd.com/books/Abortion-Free-Your-Manual-for-Building-a-Pr
o-Life-America-One-Community-at-a-Time-Autographed said he thinks the media
are trying to protect a certain narrative about abortion.

“The March for Life is the largest annual civil rights march in the
world,” Newman told WND. “For the national media to acknowledge this fact
would contradict their premise that 1) abortion is a good thing; 2) the
country is firmly pro-abortion; and 3) the pro-lifers are a small,
insignificant group of religious extremists.”

Newman is president of Operation Rescue and a member of the MRC coalition,
continued.

“In my humble opinion, the media is an extension of the far left - it
reports only the approved propaganda and ignores the obvious truths. George
Orwell’s ’1984′ has come to life in 2015 - the national media is the
‘Ministry of Truth.’”

Farah agreed that the media are becoming Orwellian.

“As a journalist, senior newspaper executive and media entrepreneur for
more than 35 years, I’m genuinely ashamed at what my industry has become,”
Farah said. “Not only do they avoid debate and discussion of the sanctity
of life, they seek to distort the issue by hiding gatherings with the vigor
one would expect only in a totalitarian, closed society with a
government-controlled media.”

MRC President Brent Bozell did not hold back, blasting the media for their
lack of coverage.

“If these were a few dozen hipsters protesting corporate profits while
taking selfies with iPhones, the networks would have wall-to-wall
coverage,” Bozell said. “The media cannot be bothered to cover 200,000
pro-lifers who came to Washington in the middle of winter to march for the
unborn.

“It’s shameful. If you’re throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers,
the media will provide sympathetic coverage to your cause,” he said. “If
you’re standing up for the most vulnerable in our society, the media turn a
deaf ear. With each passing day, the media continue to hemorrhage their
credibility.”

Instead of covering the march, the major TV networks devoted time to the New
England Patriots’ “Deflategate” controversy, sidecar dogs in America and
Prince Andrew’s sex scandal, according to MRC.

David Kupelian, WND’s managing editor and the driving force behind the
monthly news magazine “Whistleblower,” said: “The big media have been
shunning pro-lifers for decades. I remember reporting back in 1989 how the
Washington Post devoted a dozen stories to a major pro-choice demonstration
in D.C., even providing a map and directions to the upcoming rally. But a
year later, the gargantuan ‘Rally for Life ’90,’ which attracted
approximately 350,000 according to aerial photos, was graced with one
13-inch story and one photo on page B3.”

At the time, Richard Harwood, the Post’s ombudsman, wrote about the
non-coverage this way:

[The pro-life event] stirred no juices at the Post. Many editors were
unaware it was taking place … Journalists here, [managing editor Leonard]
Downie thinks, not only are not part of the anti-abortion movement, but
don’t know anyone who is. The movement is seen as one of those
“fundamentalist,” “fringe” things somewhere out there in Middle America
or Dixie. Those are not the circles in which we travel or from which we draw
intellectual nourishment. As one of last weekend’s editors put it: ‘I
didn’t

ON JAN. 9, the government of Saudi Arabia publicly whipped a liberal Muslim 
http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/saudi-whipping  writer, Raif Badawi, 
flogging him 50 times outside a mosque in Jeddah. It was the first installment 
of the 1,000 lashes to which Badawi had been sentenced — in addition to 10 
years in prison and a fine of more than $250,000 — for the crime of insulting 
Islam on his former website, the Saudi Free Liberals Forum 
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/14/-sp-saudi-blogger-extracts-raif-badawi
 .

Two days later, following the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the Saudi ambassador to 
France joined in the great Paris solidarity march 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/hundreds-of-thousands-are-expected-to-march-in-paris-solidarity-rally/2015/01/11/3befc7e2-996e-11e4-927a-4fa2638cd1b0_story.html
  in defense of freedom of expression.

Such hypocrisy was more than seven members of the United States Commission on 
International Religious Freedom could abide. The commission — an independent, 
bipartisan federal agency — had several times expressed concern 
http://www.uscirf.gov/news-room/op-eds/the-hill-saudi-arabia-must-choose-freedom
  about the persecution of Badawi; it denounced his lashing as a cruel and 
barbaric act 
http://www.uscirf.gov/news-room/press-releases/uscirf-statement-flogging-saudi-blogger-raif-badawi
  inflicted for nothing more than creating an online forum for diverse views 
to be expressed freely. Last week, writing in their individual capacities 
http://arcoftheuniverse.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Standing-in-Solidarity-with-Raif-Badawi.pdf
  to the Saudi embassy in Washington, the seven commissioners drew attention to 
the glaring inconsistency between Saudi Arabia's public show of support for 
civil liberties in France and its brutal denial of those very liberties in 
Badawi's case.

Then, in a powerful demonstration of genuine solidarity, they offered to share 
personally in his flogging.

If your government will not remit the punishment of Raif Badawi, we 
respectfully ask that you permit each of us to take 100 of the lashes that 
would be given to him, they wrote. We would rather share in his victimization 
than stand by and watch him being cruelly tortured.

The signatories are as intellectually distinguished as they are religiously and 
politically diverse. They include Mary Ann Glendon 
http://www.uscirf.gov/about-uscirf/professor-mary-ann-glendon-commissioner , 
a Harvard law professor and former ambassador to the Vatican; Zuhdi Jasser 
http://www.uscirf.gov/about-uscirf/dr-m-zuhdi-jasser-commissioner , a 
physician and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy; Robert 
George http://www.uscirf.gov/about-uscirf/dr-robert-p-george-vice-chair , a 
notable public scholar and professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University; 
and Eric Schwartz 
http://www.uscirf.gov/about-uscirf/eric-p-schwartz-commissioner , a former 
assistant secretary of state who is now dean of the University of Minnesota's 
school of public affairs. Another commissioner, Daniel I. Mark 
http://www.uscirf.gov/about-uscirf/dr-daniel-i-mark-commissioner , is a 
political scientist at Villanova University; Hannah Rosenthal 
http://www.uscirf.gov/about-uscirf/hannah-rosenthal-commissioner  is 
president of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation; and Katrina Lantos Swett 
http://www.uscirf.gov/about-uscirf/dr-katrina-lantos-swett-chair , the 
commission chairman, heads an international human-rights foundation.

Of course, the chances are nil that the Saudis will agree to administer lashes 
to prominent American thinkers and social activists. But that doesn't make the 
commissioners' willingness to share in Badawi's suffering

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flo_from_Progressive_Insurance.jpg 


AND HER BOSS !
 In case you didn't know.
The Harley Owners Group, the biggest motorcycle club in America, maybe
even the world, hasn't found any members that have Progressive Insurance
since the word got out about Progressive’s communist affiliations. Their
association with George Soros, alone, should bring chills up your back.  Oh,
you don't know who George Soros is?  He finances the Obama progressive
affiliations.  

Progressive  InsuranceWho are they?  You've seen and probably smiled at
the clever Progressive Insurance TV commercials. Well, you're about to learn
the rest of the story.
 
 
PROGRESSIVE  AUTO INSURANCE  
You know their TV commercials, the ones featuring the ditsy actress all
dressed in white. What you might not know is that the Chairman of
Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of the major funders of leftist causes in
America.
Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled $15 million to the ACLU, the group
most responsible for destroying what's left of America’s Judeo-Christian
heritage.
Lewis  also gave $12.5 million  http://tomoveon.org/ toMoveOn.org
http://moveon.org/ and America  Coming Together, two key propaganda arms of
the socialist  left.
His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from
George Soros, the America-hating socialist who is the chief financier of
the Obama political machine.  
Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism, but now finances a
progressive movement that threatens to destroy the American free enterprise
system. His group is targeting television shows on Fox News.
Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of conservative Americans (who buy his
auto insurance), then he uses
that money to dismantle the very system that made him wealthy. He's banking
on no one finding out who he is, so STOP buying Progressive Insurance and
pass this information on to all your friends. Chairman  Lewis' gift helps
the ACLU promote their anti-Christmas agenda such as:


§  Removing nativity scenes from public property

§  Banning songs such as Silent Night from schools

§  Refusing to  allow students to write about the Christian aspect of
Christmas in school projects

§  Renaming Christmas break Winter break

§  Refusing to allow a city sponsored Christmas parade to be called a
Christmas parade

§  Not allowing a Christmas tree in a public school


§  Renaming a Christmas tree displayed on public property a Holiday tree. In
addition to their war on Christmas, the ACLU uses gifts like that from
Chairman Lewis to:

§  Force libraries to remove porn filters from their computers

§  Help legalize child pornography

 §  Legalize live sex acts in bars in Oregon

§  Protect the North American Man Boy Love Association whose motto is sex
by eight or it is too late

§  Censor student-led prayer at graduation

§  Remove under God from the Pledge of Allegiance


§  Remove In God We Trust on our currency

Verify  at:http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/peterlewis.asp

Subject: Article V of the U S Constitution

 

Derrell Poole wrote this good argument OPPOSING call for Convention of States 
and Amendments Convention. Please read it through and share with your contacts 
and your legislators - Lark

 

What they call a Convention of States is simply the second option to invoking 
the Congress to Amend the Constitution. Any Convention to Amend THIS 
Constitution will be presided over by Congress! No matter WHAT they tell you. I 
don't trust this Congress - do you? Read Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 where 
any authority given to Congress by THIS Constitution shall entitle them to make 
the rules - the laws. They will make all the rules necessary as they see fit 
for this convention! Natelson, Levin, and other NeoCons who think the States 
will make the Rules for a Convention to Risking Our Constitution are fooling 
themselves - and We the People. The First words of Article V are The 
Congress... Not, We the people. Not the Several States; The Congress... on 
the application... of the several States, shall call a convention...! This is 
an authority given to them by THIS Constitution. 

 

Our Constitution isn't Broken!  The Government doesn't obey the Constitution 
now! Making Amendments to a Constitution they don't obey now is not going to 
make any difference. All it will do is add more words, more confusion, more 
complexity, with which they can contrive even more of our freedom from us.  
Risking the Constitution to a convention is stupid. Apply THIS Constitution to 
the government; Make them obey it! That WILL fix this government! 

 

When you go and see this guy make sure he tells you of all the liberal groups 
also pushing for a ConCon. Ask him what Amendments groups from the State of 
Hawaii are proposing. Ask him why, if this is such a Conservative idea that 
the supposed Conservative Legislators who met in Indianapolis last year 
included hard Core Liberals? They cannot achieve the necessary applications 
WITHOUT the Liberals! Ask him if he personally knows George Soros and all the 
PACs that man funds who are ALSO calling for a ConCon. Why so if this is such a 
conservative thing to do?

 

Don't be fooled by this. Mark my words; if we allow this door to be opened we 
will no longer be the Republic of the United States of America! They CANNOT 
make you promises that our Constitution is safe in a Convention - once that 
door opens, they CAN NOT 

 

AND 

 

Folks, please listen. The Last time there was eminent threat of an actual 
Constitutional Convention of this magnitude Congress freaked out and pre empted 
the call by passing two of the worst Amendment we have suffered; 16A and 17A. 
These two Amendment changed our Nation, fundamentally. The 17 Amendment changed 
the Senate from a body elected by State Governments to a redundant second 
House of Representative elected by the people. They stole away States 
representation in the Federal Government where Article V say ...and that no 
State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the 
Senate. This is the single Amendment that could not be added without 100% of 
the States ratification - their consent to give up their voice in the 
Government! YET THEY DID IT!!! As soon as 2/3rds of the States ratified 17A 
they declared it part of the Constitution. Utah outright opposed it and many of 
the States never ratified it. 

 

But they needed 17A so that the 16 Amendment could change how taxes were 
collected (thru the States) to a direct Taxation of the People - without census 
or enumeration. Prior to 16A the Federal government could only collect taxes 
(without special laws passed by Congress) from the States! This limited the 
Central Government by keeping it from unlimited sources of money! With these 
two Amendments they wasted no time setting up the Federal Reserve, the IRS, and 
opening the door to DEMOCRACY and outright socialism! 

 

And they did this at the onus of the States! They did this in fear of a 
Convention of States. The US Congress! Can you imagine the Congress fearing the 
States? At least they understood the dangers of a Convention and what happened 
in 1787 when the Convention Delegates were only suppose to revise the Articles 
of Confederation; where those Delegates threw out the A of C and drew up a 
completely new Constitution. Fortunately those Delegates were Americanists. Not 
so in 1913 and most assuredly NOT so in 2015! Don't count on THIS Congress to 
be as wise as even the Congress in 1913... 

 

Write your State Legislature! Demand they oppose ANY application for a States 
Convention!

Two-Thirds to Raise Taxes 


You can't keep a good Eyman down. 

Who says politicians don't listen? asked Tim Eyman in a recent email to his 
Washington State supporters 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gwJhTdto55x6ZQ8FDlDs_CnFFct91090XqaT49dx7_ZxUHSI4s7p6DFu6_aPZeoqH97ZcsujkpA7A_pGU19pFw-ISdaz0PGSAOr6Pv-Ci6wMSsoOrglY0rs7wIZnvJWQlLDIQCHiy-JWU9hEj7ExvYMLIMHxUy9A4kp-vO2Je0UZkXsqalSQYd5lb1os6EGJc=005S8OTh1V8YCy74mX3YcwYMlNAOJeNY_mUwFOjjWJIdZQX8WesUDQ==ch=QTo4aWXfAgTfBVWP4TFUiNsNpLzDg1ip5AP2JkPjxo_429B13KBS-w==

OK, you got me: we normally do. ;)  But not today. 

Pleased as punch, Eyman announced the resurrection

  of the two-thirds requirement for legislators to raise taxes. Three times 
voters have passed initiatives promoted by Mr. Eyman mandating a 2/3 
legislative vote or a vote of the people before taxes can rise -- in 2007

 , the last two times by a whopping 64 percent vote. 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/dollarscents.png But in 2013, the state 
supreme court ruled voters could not so limit their state legislature, short of 
a constitutional amendment. And -- you guessed it -- the Evergreen State lacks 
a statewide initiative process for voters to amend the constitution . . . 
without the permission of their legislators. 

Eyman was blocked; the voters thwarted. Legislators could go back to raising 
taxes as usual. 

Not so fast! 

Enter State Sen. Mike Baumgartner (R-Spokane), who helped motivate a narrow GOP 
majority to pass a new Senate rule, 26-23, that no new tax may pass the chamber 
without garnering a 2/3 vote. 

Democrats are livid

 . Going around the voters is not only disingenuous, bemoaned Washington 
State Democrats Chairman Jaxon Ravens, it is wrong. 

Going around the voters? Really? It must have slipped his mind that the 
voters had previously voted (and been thwarted) three times. 

[H]as the Senate already nullified any attempt by Gov. Jay Inslee to create a 
carbon emissions charge or a capital gains tax -- solely by rearranging its own 
internal rules? asked John Strang at Crosscut.com

DOWN THE street or across the country, a valid driver's license is all you need 
to lawfully get behind the wheel of a car. If you've met your state's 
conditions to be issued a license — passed the test, submitted your 
fingerprints, paid the fee — there's not a state in the country that won't 
honor it.

  http://www.jeffjacoby.com/jacoby/pics/large/2486.jpg 

A valid license to carry a firearm should be treated the same way.

In many respects, Americans who esteem the Second Amendment have reason to be 
upbeat these days. In opinion polls, a majority of respondents says protecting 
gun ownership 
http://www.people-press.org/2014/12/10/growing-public-support-for-gun-rights/ 
 is more important than enacting stronger gun control. Three out of four 
Americans would oppose a ban http://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1Sz6HHCUAAsEh1.jpg  
on private possession of handguns. Putting their money where those convictions 
are, consumers turned out in droves to buy firearms during the holiday season: 
Though Black Friday sales generally were down last year, purchases of guns on 
the day after Thanksgiving went through the roof. The FBI conducted a record 
175,000 background checks 
http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/28/us/black-friday-gun-sales/index.html  on Nov. 
28 — an average of almost three per second — then set another record the week 
before Christmas.

The congressional elections, too, delivered a jolt of political adrenaline for 
Second Amendment stalwarts. Of the 251 candidates endorsed by the National 
Rifle Association in the November midterms, 229 went on to victory — a success 
rate of more than 90 percent. 
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/bulls-eye-nra-won-91-of-races-crushing-bloombergs-gun-grab/article/2556065
 

At least in theory, gun rights are more constitutionally secure now than they 
have been for generations. In landmark rulings in 2008 and 2010, the Supreme 
Court confirmed that the Bill of Rights secures an individual right to keep 
and bear arms for self-defense, and that no state may categorically refuse to 
issue carry permits. Consequently, all 50 states now have laws allowing 
citizens to publicly carry concealed firearms, with permits issued by local or 
law-enforcement authorities.

To be sure, criteria vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Most states issue 
concealed-carry permits automatically to anyone who meets the requisite 
criteria (e.g., minimum age, safety training, background check); a handful make 
it more difficult, requiring applicants to show good cause for a gun permit, 
and giving officials broad discretion in deciding which applications to approve.

Of course there are differences among the states when it comes to all kinds of 
administrative acts and effects — driver's licenses being an obvious example. 
Oklahoma has its own rules, forms, and requirements for issuing a driver's 
permit, many of which may differ from those imposed by California, 
Massachusetts, or New Jersey. Nonetheless, reciprocity and common-sense 
supersede state lines. Once Oklahoma issues a license to a driver who meets its 
conditions, every other state defers to its judgment.

The case for reciprocity ought to be just as compelling when it comes to carry 
permits for guns. Indeed, more compelling: The Bill of Rights makes no 
reference to driving, but it does command that the right to keep and bear arms 
shall not be infringed. Constitutional liberties don't evaporate at state 
borders. If your driver's license is valid everywhere, the validity of your gun 
permit should go without saying.

But it hasn't gone without saying. Though many states extend reciprocal 
recognition to carry permits issued by other states, others don't. An unwary 
motorist crossing into a hardline anti-gun state can

Through a Glass, Tinted 


One day last year, Slate Star Codex blogger Scott Alexander 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HiG321Gi8406Yg3QeZjqc8iecrtWXeAwfLe7BR8CdbjLwFxKgtJqWUaa1tSMqmKzmPsuIFG4SD5aiGjqyDudTuM5nYKyqXLU4YWWCbfLvxEemlw82cXM5xVo1tj8j699Ikb3I-li0fekNJkrfqtnz7yPWdlAR97581BeeyqO841hP_R8Tj4fAUnMiM_94nRF71mk_2szxriac5HbT8ApX6L0YD71TXW1bSOsX73wiCOiH38mXWbROQ==c=gsQRZxsYU8XtNuV6PoUNR3Y1-rduFZq7qWNJYWvW1hsLwms6jke8aQ==ch=7sfvddnLK_RTQscc-1SjXCjmvHxiztSyyqpgUHrAiMEbNHke7DmN2A==
  woke up to discover that they had politicized Ebola. 

How? 

It was, he explains, more than just a series of partisan cheap shots. Though 
there were plenty of those. It was something more startling, and in its own 
perverse way impressive. Everybody seemed awfully certain about what should be 
done, immediately, and along ideological lines, red and blue: 

How did both major political tribes decide, within a month of the virus 
becoming widely known in the States, not only exactly what their position 
should be but what insults they should call the other tribe for not agreeing 
with their position?

The answer to the question? 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/ebola-virus.png Each tribe has its 
myths, er, narratives, and members of each concentrate on those stories that 
seem to demonstrate the truth of their . . . narratives. How you cover Ebola 
depends on other beliefs you already hold. 

Ideas are forces, 19th century writer G. H. Lewes put it. Our acceptance of 
one determines our reception of others. 

The result of sticking to one's in-group mythos can have negative consequences, 
however. You can end up in Silly Putty Country, saying ISIS is not as bad as 
Fox News, or donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to the officer who shot 
Michael Brown. 

Conservative journalists see everything through red-tinted glasses, liberal 
journalists refuse to look at the world through anything but blue-tinted one. 
And too many people follow their lead. 

Occasionally, we could try on lenses of different colors. 

But perhaps I speak so confidently because I come from another tribe. Green? 
Orange? Purple? 

What color is liberty? 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

We all have different reasons for the hope that is within us.  The world 
sometimes has bad news, but as long as we can find a few friends who are 
like-minded, we can help each other.  This is a photo taken of me with my 
friends Cindy Redburn and Laurie Kish at a meeting we had in Rolla, Missouri a 
few months ago.  
 





Anyone who has watched the news recently has seen some sad stories about 
France, economic woes, the Muslims beheading innocent children and our American 
way of life being compromised by  the racists, the haters and Atheists.

Yet, there is some good news.   

1.  As we approach the anniversary of Roe V. Wade, the numbers are showing 
that abortion industry is now in decline.  More facilities where babies are 
destroyed are closing nationwide than ever since abortion became legal.  In 
1981 the abortion rate was 29.3 out of 1,000 pregnancies.  The last year we 
have recorded data, 2011, shows it was now down to 16.9 per 1,000.

2.  There's finally some balance added to the debate on politically correct 
behavior.  A recent article highlighted some people who spoke bravely about the 
negative results from being raised in a home where perversion is promoted.

  reader points to a profile of Henry Jarvis Raymond (1820-1869) at the website 
of Green-Wood cemetery. 

At the moment, the most urgently relevant detail of Green-Wood's profile is not 
Raymond's co-founding of The New York Times, his politics or his friendship 
with Abraham Lincoln, but how he defended his paper against threat of assault. 

During the 'high tide' of the Confederacy . . . Raymond fought to rally public 
opinion in favor of the Union. When draft rioting mobs approached the offices 
of The New York Times in July 1863, Henry Raymond held them off with three 
Gatling guns he had obtained from the army.

  by a firebomb unleashed in reply to a Charia Hebdo issue of the satirical 
magazine. 

At least since that attack, then, the risk to Charlie Hebdo staff for 
ridiculing Islam, Islamism and/or Muhammad* has not been merely theoretical. I 
applaud the fact that they have fearlessly persisted in their satiric mission 
despite what happened -- and are fearlessly persisting now

But if you're in that situation, please don't just brave the odds. Even the

these weapons are easily accessible at all times. 

And if you're a government, make bearing arms easy.

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

* It may be worthwhile pointing out -- as many have -- that the satirists were 
not narrowly ridiculing one culture, that of Muslims; they have been and are 
across-the-board satirists, mocking politicians, clerics and partisans of most 
(if not all) stripes. Further, though widely considered a left-wing magazine, 
its editorial policy has never fallen into the lefty rut of blaming only the 
West and bending backward to defend foreign criminals and tyrants.

[MoLiCo] WND: Do we need to apologize to Benedict Arnold?

[Fred Ellison]

TODAY'S BENEDICT ARNOLD


A traitor in the White House? If the shoe fits ...


Exclusive: Pat Boone offers 'hypothetical' scenario of treason in nation's
highest office

The traitor rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the
night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so
that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the
plague.

- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 1st century B.C.

What is treason? Good old Webster's Dictionary describes it simply as
betrayal of one's country to an enemy. And traitor as one who betrays
one's country, cause, friends, etc.

I've recently read a biography of Benedict Arnold, American history's most
notorious traitor. Though he was beneficiary of our young country's
opportunities and honors, rising through the military to the rank of major
general, historians record he was arrogant and impatient with civilian
deliberateness and legislative oversight. He courted the favor of British
loyalists, angering the patriots - and exhibited such a love and need for
money that he lined his pockets with questionable side ventures.

He decided he wasn't sufficiently appreciated by his fellows and formulated
a treasonous plan to crush the Revolution and revenge himself on Congress.
When, amazingly, he was given the command of West Point, he plotted with
British Gen. Clinton to surrender the fort for 20,000 pounds! The plot was
discovered, and Arnold barely managed to escape to England, where he lived
out his life as a social outcast . and infamous traitor.

Is it remotely possible such a terrible thing could happen in America today?
What would one of our leaders have to do to be accused of treason?

Well, let's create a purely hypothetical scenario.

Suppose America elects a charismatic young president who makes all kinds of
brave promises and sweeps into the White House. This young man not only has
little political or governmental experience, but none at all in business or
administration. Curiously, his upbringing is never closely examined or
evaluated; it's just assumed that anybody elected president must love
America - but this young man had been trained by parents and others to
consider this country a colonial oppressor and unfit to be a world leader!
In college, by his own autobiographical account, he sought out Marxist
professors, in not one but three colleges.

Once elected, he uses his newfound executive authority to seal off all his
early school, passport and travel records, lest his true intents be
uncovered. He eventually has a fake copy of a birth certificate created
and exhibited on the White House website, complete with glaring errors that
betray its falsehood. Somehow Congress seems mesmerized and intimidated from
confronting him, so he creates a phalanx of legislative czars to regulate
and virtually stifle all business and energy progress, and these czars -
among them known Muslim and Marxist and homosexual activists - report not to
Congress but directly to him!

Having declared that he considered the U.S. Constitution a flawed
document, he proceeds as president to ride roughshod over the document and
its establishment of three separate and equal branches of our government,
declaring openly if Congress won't give him what he wants, he has a phone
and a pen and will make executive decisions and even change laws he has
crammed through the legislature, determined to effectively dismantle the
two-party system and the separation-of-powers concept.

Now, theoretically, many might call all this treason. But wait.

Suppose that this increasingly arrogant young man, having become commander
in chief of the military, begins to quietly fire and replace full admirals
and generals who object to his decisions to withdraw from territories gained
by the lives of 4,000 brave young Americans, and to issue more orders that
will weaken the whole defense system and cost more young American lives.
Treason? Wait .

Suppose this pompous man also appoints an attorney general who announces
with him that they not only will enable hundreds of thousands of illegal
aliens to invade the country - but that they will not enforce the
immigration laws themselves! This, knowing that among those undocumented
aliens there would certainly be trained enemies of the United States, whose
sole purpose for crossing our borders is to destroy the country he had
learned to despise as a young man. And what if this attorney general
concocts a scheme to furnish thousands of weapons to Mexican drug cartels
and potential terrorists? Treason? The case is building.

Now suppose that this Manchurian (or Indonesian) Candidate, never having any
business or economic experience, but knowing that one vital reason for
America's world dominance is its giant economy, forces

PRESS RELEASE:
 
MISSOURI REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY OPEN LETTER TO STATE AUDITOR TOM SCHWEICH
 
Dear Tom,
 
Congratulations on your overwhelming reelection as Missouri State Auditor. By 
virtue of your experience and talents we believe that you are the Missouri 
Republican best positioned to provide critical leadership as Missouri's next 
Governor, and we hope you will consider running.
 
You have a record of effective leadership that shows you can be an effective 
Governor. During your time as Missouri Auditor you've earned high marks as you 
kept your word to be tough but fair. You've:
Initiated new practices to root out waste, fraud and abuse in government, 
including the Audit Follow-Up program and Anti-Embezzlement Program.
Uncovered more than 30 elected officials who had betrayed the public trust by 
stealing or misappropriating funds.
Audited our school districts to tremendous effect, ensuring that dollars meant 
for the classroom get to the classroom.
Recovered more than $2 million in stolen or misappropriated taxpayers funds.
 
Not only have you proven you can do the job, Tom, but you've proven you have 
the political skills to get the job. You've won every statewide race in which 
you've run. In 2010 you took on an experienced legislator in the Republican 
primary for Auditor and defeated him by 17 points. You went on to defeat the 
Democrat incumbent in the general election by 5 points despite her 25 years in 
elective office. In each of those elections you showed statewide appeal by 
winning more than 100 of Missouri's counties.
 
While you initially drew a competent challenger for your reelection in 2014, 
that Democrat was forced to drop out of the race and concede that he couldn't 
mount a campaign against you, given your reputation as such an effective 
Missouri Auditor. In the general election you went on to win each of Missouri's 
114 counties and the City of St. Louis while garnering the highest vote 
percentage in modern Missouri political history. And in the 2014 race you 
raised money from donors across the entire state, showing that your political 
and financial support is both wide and deep.
 
You are the personification of the consummate statesman described by Samuel 
Adams, If men of wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of 
patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican 
simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honor of the Supreme Being and the 
welfare of the commonwealth; if men possessed of these and other excellent 
qualities are chosen to fill the seats of government, we may expect that our 
affairs will rest on a solid and permanent foundation.You are not only a 
friend of genuine philosophical conservative values; you are a, proven, valiant 
warrior for them.
 
 
Whether it's Claire McCaskill or Chris Koster, Missouri Democrats' 2016 
gubernatorial nominee will be well funded. In order to defeat them it's 
critical that we have a candidate who can raise money in amounts large and 
small - not a candidate who's received nearly all her money from one donor. It 
is our hope you will once again answer the call to serve by announcing your 
candidacy for Governor of Missouri.
 
Sincerely,  
Scott Magill
President 7th District Missouri Republican Assembly
Past Chairman, Missouri Republican Assembly

[MoLiCo] FW: [freedomfightersforamerica] Are you aware of the Ziplock method for DUI checkpoints?

[Fred Ellison]

 

Are you aware of the Ziplock method for DUI checkpoints?

 

  January 4, 2015 10:06 am EST

 

 


By Mike Sawyer | Free Thought Project
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/aware-ziplock-method-dui-checkpoints-watch
-learn/ 


CHIEFLAND, FL —  In a video posted to YouTube this week, a novel and simply
astonishing example of how to deal with DUI checkpoints, was illustrated by
the guys from FairDUI.org http://fairdui.org/ .

Sobriety checkpoints — also known as DUI checkpoints — are the most common
roadblocks you might encounter. They function as a general purpose
investigatory tactic where police can get a close look at passing motorists
by detaining them briefly. A roadblock stop is quick, but it gives police a
chance to check tags and licenses, while also giving officers a quick whiff
of the driver’s breath and a chance to peer into the vehicle for a moment.

Remember that your constitutional rights still apply in a roadblock
situation. Though police are permitted to stop you briefly, they may not
search you or your car unless they have probable cause that you’re under the
influence or you agree to the search. As such, you are not required to
answer their questions or admit to breaking the law.

In the video, a man hangs his registration, insurance, and driver’s license
from his rolled up window inside a ziplock freezer bag, in order to proceed
through a DUI checkpoint.

Also in the bag is a flyer, which states:

 

 


I remain silent


No Searches


I want my lawyer


Please put any tickets under windshield wiper.

–CPLR §308  Pacamor, 132 Misc.2d 269 (1986)

I have to show you my papers not hand them to you.

–VTL §312(b), §401(4), §507

Thus I am not opening my window.

I will comply with clearly stated lawful orders.

This DUI checkpoint was put on by the Levy County Sheriff’s Office and the
Florida Highway Patrol.

The checkpoint was held on New Year’s Eve, starting at 10:00 PM, in
Chiefland, Florida.

According to FairDUI.org, the idea behind the flyer is that you keep it in
your car and show it to police at checkpoints and traffic stops. This is NOT
for everyone, nor for every situation.

To find out whether the flyer is for you, and when you should (and
shouldn’t) use it, you can visit their Flyer page, here
http://fairdui.org/flyer/ .

As long as it takes the officers to read the flyer is as long as the driver
is held up. It was amazing.

Now, without further ado, one of the best DUI checkpoint refusals that we’ve
ever seen.

Rand Paul Raises Banner 


Last weekend, 60 Minutes offered up a fascinating profile of outgoing Senator 
Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma). Coburn has prostate cancer, and is leaving Washington 
for his home state before his term is up. 

My trouble with the segment? It didn't mention Coburn's views on term limits, 
or make any point about him leaving early, other than, well, cancer. But it is 
worth mentioning that many, many politicians die in office. Coburn retains 
enough of his views to exit the political stage at an appropriate time. 

He's not clinging on to power as if he were Gollum at the Crack of Doom. 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/RandPaul-TomCoburn.png Thankfully, not 
all of Coburn's projects will languish. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is planning 
to re-introduce a piece of legislation 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RbNRjEKcxFyNMRI5M58Zg4k0JztMZFxM9POALkSM9zrA31f8CL0P40gIUxzYuT5-7vtzUDb0RbzpTX1SQPbPsb1MjRoVpgyyan4jtlH8aG8MQfP7DzhbnP7ovxXT4AGqaC_oNbdpG-53zgCok7yXdMZAmHN8wXSpC2HWwW8-hPMqKYKGx9Obnuu8eLcs-T1-ZSFqIPS5lGARbG4Ee4nMnuEiBFeOVqp1Js8-x6fx2nyCLo9Rm4P9grAuV4Ffj09xN_pcRRD4ZsiGaQSkKxn97wop4nrvcJW3c=o966iCRJu9vHQ1HNTuoEXcneEnaAc9CT35iXjWhAXZfEWIcyFodM7g==ch=2X7MxlAuXh2RmQRjYlw7Ty83S52ugdQg3aSOUTZ44Lc-WVBKkXDg0g==
  that Coburn had developed, a plan to halt the federal practice of sending 
military-grade equipment to local police departments. 

It's a typically Coburn-esque notion. 

Though Occupier folks may have some trouble understanding where Coburn is 
coming from, or in what direction he wishes the country to go, Coburn's Tea 
Party constituencies get the idea. And, if they had misunderstandings, Rand 
Paul made the limited-government perspective clear in August with his Time 
op-ed

  arguing against the militarization of America's police forces. 

The revived bill will still allow (too much) federal taxpayer money go to local 
departments. But it will (fortunately) stop the distribution of vehicles and 
weapons used by the U.S. armed forces to police. 

No better tribute to Tom Coburn could be found than Rand Paul's taking up his 
banner on this important issue. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

GMO seeds have Roundup actually introduced into the SEEDS!!  Every time you eat 
GMO or ANY ANY ANY wheat products, you are eating roundup.  So figure it out, 
do you think you are poisoning your body?  
Http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/real-reason-for-toxic-wheat-its-not-gluten/
   Farmers started spraying all the wheat with roundup so they would have a 
bigger yield and all the yields would ripen and get to market at the same time.

Educate yourselves on what you are eating.  GMOs cannot be contained, 
obviously.  Many countries have outlawed GMOs and yet are being contaminated 
anyway.  The pollination spreads from field to field--from GMO farmers to the 
non-GMO farmers.  Monsanto should be sued to oblivion, until they are out of 
business.  All who were responsible for putting these seeds on the market 
should be sued personally. 

All the labeling laws being put on referendums in the different states is about 
some of us wanting to KNOW if we are eating the poison GMOs.  The problem is 
all these major international corporations put millions into advertising and 
lobbying against it.  GMOs are affecting most items we have in our pantries.  
Because we do not know it, doesn't mean that we are not being harmed.  M

 

BREAKING: Monsanto/Bayer's GM Plants Contaminate Europe Despite Ban

 BREAKING: Monsanto/Bayer's GM Plants Contaminate Europe Despite Ban 
http://cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/Sayer%20Ji/images/canola_contamination3.jpg
 

New evidence reveals that despite a ban on cultivation of GM rapeseed in 
Europe, Monsanto and Bayer's plants are now freely growing there. 

A new study published in PLoS titled ,Unexpected Diversity of Feral 
Genetically Modified Oilseed Rape (Brassica 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252112/  napus L.) Despite a 
Cultivation and Import Ban in Switzerland, is believed to be the first report 
of its kind showing that despite a cultivation and seed import ban of 
genetically modified (GM) oilseed rape in Switzerland, Monsanto and Bayer's GM 
plants have been introduced into the environment there, confirming fears that 
once the GM genie has been let out of the bottle it can not be put back.

The GM plants were found growing freely along railway lines and in port areas 
at four sites in 2011 and 2012, with the most afflicted being the Rhine port of 
Basel and the St. Johann freight railway station in Basel, Switzerland.  The 
glyphosate http://www.greenmedinfo.com/toxic-ingredient/glyphosate -resistant 
GM plants were identified as Monsanto's Roundup-Ready GM event GT73.  
Additionally, the researchers found the glufosinate-resistant GM events 
MS8xRF3, MS8 and RF3 (all traded as InVigor, Bayer) at five sampling locations 
in the Rhine port. They noted that this is, to their knowledge, the first time 
that Bayer's feral MS8xRF3, MS8 or RF3 plants were detected in Europe.

Another concerning finding was the discovery of 'outcrossing' (transference of 
genetic material between differing plant strains) between Monsanto's GT73 GM 
plant and two non-GM oilseed rape plants. This confirms fears that GM plants 
are capable of transforming conventional and/or organically produced plants 
into GM ones (I.e. 'biorape 
http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/monsanto-and-bio-rape-india1 ').  

In fact, the study addresses this possibility directly:

Another concern with respect to the cultivation of GM OSR [genetically 
modified oilseed rape] is an unintended gene flow towards conventional or 
organic OSR crops which could lead to co-existence conflicts between different 
farming systems [10] 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252112/#pone.0114477-European1 .

What is even more remarkable about the discovery of feral GM plants in Europe 
is that they have been banned from cultivation:

In the European Union, GM OSR cultivation is presently prohibited and 
authorization for the import for food and feed processing is confined to the GM 
OSR events GT73 (Roundup Ready, Monsanto), MS8, RF3, MS8xRF3 and T45 (all 
traded as InVigor, Bayer CropScience)[11] 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252112/#pone.0114477-European2 . 
GM crop plants have found even less acceptance in Switzerland where currently 
neither the import nor the cultivation of GM OSR is allowed at least until the 
end of 2017 [12] 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252112/#pone.0114477-TheFederalAuthoritiesoftheSwiss1
 , [13] 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252112/#pone.0114477-The1 . 
Nevertheless, the spread of GM OSR cannot totally be prevented by cultivation 
or import bans. In Japan, where GM OSR is imported but not cultivated, feral 
glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant GM OSR plants have repeatedly been 
detected in port areas and along transportation routes [14]

Another Insider? 


Earlier this week, Jeb Bush, former governor of the State of Florida, announced 
on Facebook that he is exploring 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0010wdkhXz9zQrmsDAIhc4__LRzZsTN_OXBSrHiCaR7M4fGZkmhQL0xVwyCf0T3PiE76JSySk_TMVOgoG3UcCamce6EP_A9nMXGkVYXJPZzJFHFhDRV4tHOGx_ZP1A6VYX_pNZ3PjVVDE2pJEnQpafSGiDG4P-BMMNQX7C-2N1Ym0bnq1JUUEiW7IhVuB2Na39U7dlXESOLcyLxExPdECp4cA==c=QuJWprTilhSjieF7M62yFV6kSqbfw6hRMjPyNW1h8V39ygi3osIKnQ==ch=hxrdAuMSV6QOP2_NznkA_o2_PJPuDyFE-RvR0gQPe0jxy-JlefA6rQ==
  a 2016 run for the Republican nomination for the presidency. I have mixed 
feelings, to say the least. 

There's the whole dynastic problem. Another Bush? Or, is Jeb the cost of 
finding a candidate to beat Hillary . . . who has her own dynastic baggage? 

But the big story, here, is to watch the insiders scramble to keep out the 
outsiders. 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/jebbush.png The trouble with both 
Hillary and Jeb is that they are insiders 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0010wdkhXz9zQrmsDAIhc4__LRzZsTN_OXBSrHiCaR7M4fGZkmhQL0xVwyCf0T3PiE7y1WuUk18-nP1bks2ETNHSbcXkk7bEhI1srJZa5kOE6EykGspdd3qR5affyfHKZmhkpYapEw5SuQHHjn0BCOXJR5R6Qpf4HE4E6lLNmr1EjGdOzXfkDoIbSd18xyz3W3XH1WxPPKSqM9wZ6MCW_79M3bgt6O8EGi-AVnsLfFPmfk=c=QuJWprTilhSjieF7M62yFV6kSqbfw6hRMjPyNW1h8V39ygi3osIKnQ==ch=hxrdAuMSV6QOP2_NznkA_o2_PJPuDyFE-RvR0gQPe0jxy-JlefA6rQ==
 . They represent where the leadership of both parties wants its 
representatives and front-men (and -women) to go: to the putative center. 

By which they really mean: don't disturb the bailout system in American finance 
or the Pentagon procurement system for the military-industrial complex. 

While it might be fun to contemplate Bill Clinton as the First Gentleman, or 
pick at the two issues over which Gov. Bush seems not very conservative at all, 
the truth is that both have access to a lot of entrenched power and loose 
money. Both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton enjoy incumbent-like advantages. 

If the near future does sport a Clinton-Bush battle for the presidency, we can 
be sure of only one thing: status quo vs. status quo. 

Leaving the real work of reform to those of us at the grassroots, with state 
and local issues our preoccupation. As long as insiders occupy the White House, 
our choices will be limited. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Aeschylation 


In war, the Greek dramatist Aeschylus told us 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001k8Fnx7_PGjTV_umAfUdgbYpA5R4SEmuBh8wJ9xlcvKQRJEpYxSmEhRmk_Mz18PlV3xKWkv1A-JFIUJUQugxwMjDFXpUZnkhJd02sv6keIhVSzyc3N10cMdoaJJRy_Bn0stxS32GooYE8GoTSUww1Q1wUi3MCm_Sus1m8WTab1PrA39sQWh_fbW2duXEPy9rvc=tbeyvfKiAqpV8nXPAHGT12NWP37Qc04PVMgE790I8-Ls6DaNY86IeA==ch=1ldI6eL1V38O9Hm7fMDjdnu01B5nv1LOutyiaJjRXatu5O64YbrYnA==
 , truth is the first casualty. 

This came to mind when Secretary of State John Kerry testified in the Senate 
last week. 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/aeschylus.png The new Iraq War has been

  to the American people as only air strikes and absolutely no boots on the 
ground -- even as the Obama Administration continues to send additional U.S. 
military advisors to place their boots on Iraqi sand (and, at least once thus 
far, to engage ISIS directly 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001k8Fnx7_PGjTV_umAfUdgbYpA5R4SEmuBh8wJ9xlcvKQRJEpYxSmEhRmk_Mz18PlVva-2yn9XMB9y4Bllb66GHT3tKm3RciQQXyKdqKrBGiTijSMrQW3qiOZH-hpopLyl96Jc6p1Z7I0vUxl_X5rB-65_-0LiOT_NuYj4clZG27UapgvuMGLdvq17XKiQl5sJGJ14wIgT1kjkOBvAd7dQ8HI2FU2Y0VgopzqokcAqHUQuU7jkwrcQkhWSgc8DSTR12LuO8ThAOdv6WrBHCSjmR4837_8fDa7xl6zGi9X0-SE05QOHabKHQ2O0gtbKao6wNkysA40k81Y4bFYhbqUnUg==c=tbeyvfKiAqpV8nXPAHGT12NWP37Qc04PVMgE790I8-Ls6DaNY86IeA==ch=1ldI6eL1V38O9Hm7fMDjdnu01B5nv1LOutyiaJjRXatu5O64YbrYnA==
  via Apache attack helicopters hovering above Iraqi ground.) 

Kerry again assured senators that the president has been crystal clear that 
his policy is that U.S. military forces will not be deployed to conduct ground 
combat operations against ISIL. 

Strangely, however, the Secretary most adamantly urged Senators not to pass an 
Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that would restrict President O 
from doing precisely what he has so often and emphatically pledged not to do: 
put combat boots on the ground in Iraq. 

The fact that the Obama Administration has foreclosed any possibility of 
putting US troops on the ground to fight, according to Sec. Kerry, doesn't 
mean that we should preemptively bind the hands of the commander in chief or 
our commanders in the field in responding to scenarios and contingencies that 
are impossible to foresee. 

Impossible to foresee? Yeah, right. The no boots

Act) that had prohibited the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol.

Mike Lee's Fix of Congress 


What too few in Washington appreciate -- and what the new Republican Congress 
must if we hope to succeed -- is that the American people's current distrust of 
their public institutions is totally justified. 

So wrote

  Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) in The Federalist shortly after the big election 
earlier this month. Americans are fed up with Washington, and they have every 
right to be. 

  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/SenMikeLee.png Lee starts off with the 
need to earn trust. Will many readers simply shrug? His notion of a more 
open-source strategy development model that includes everyone sure sounds 
nice. But after Obama's promise of the most transparent presidency in 
history, and delivery of one of the least, skepticism is natural. 

At least Lee knows his challenges: Republicans in fact can't 'govern' from the 
House and Senate alone -- especially without a Senate supermajority. He sees 
the necessity of working with Democrats, but insists that the congressional 
majority not compromise away the whole enchilada. 

Anti-cronyism legislation is win-win for the GOP, he writes, and views 
taking on crony capitalism as a test of the GOP's political will and 
wisdom. Fighting the corrupt Washington culture of insider deals is sure to 
test Democratic lawmakers, too. 

[A] new Republican majority must also make clear that our support for free 
enterprise cuts both ways, argues the Senator. To prove that point, we must 
target the crony capitalist policies that rig our economy for large 
corporations and special interests at the expense of everyone else-- especially 
small and new businesses. 

Echoes of Ralph Nader, but with deep free-market rumblings. Not discord, but 
harmony. Music to my ears. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

[MoLiCo] Fw: Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth

Subject:Fw: Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth
From:Sarah Baumgartner ellen.baumgart...@sbcglobal.net

With nasty cold fronts thrusting an icy and early winter across the continental 
U.S. — along with last winter described by USA Today as one of the snowiest, 
coldest, most miserable on record — climatologist John L. Casey thinks the 
weather pattern is here to stay for decades to come.

In fact, Casey, a former space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant, is out 
with the  provocative book Dark Winter: How the Sun Is Causing a 30-Year Cold 
Spell, which warns that a radical shift in global climate is underway, and 
that Al Gore and other environmentalists have it completely wrong.
 
The earth, he says, is cooling, and cooling fast. 

And unless the scientific community and political leaders act soon, cold, dark 
days are ahead. 

Casey says the evidence is clear that the earth is rapidly growing colder 
because of diminished solar activity. 

He says trends indicate we could be headed for colder temperatures similar to 
those seen in the late 1700s and early 1800s when the sun went into a solar 
minimum — a phenomenon with significantly reduced solar activity, including 
solar flares and sunspots. 

If he's right, that would be very bad news. 

Dark Winter posits that a 30-year period of cold has already begun. Frigid 
temperatures and the food shortages that inevitably result could lead to riots 
and chaos. 

Casey tells Newsmax, All you have to do is trust natural cycles and follow the 
facts, and that leads you to the inevitable conclusion that the sun controls 
the climate, and that a new cold era has begun.

Casey is president of the Space and Science Research Corp., an Orlando, Fla., 
climate research firm. 

His new book debunks global warming orthodoxy. For more than a decade, he 
reports, the planet's oceans have been cooling. And since 2007, the atmospheric 
temperature has been cooling as well.

The data is pretty solid, Casey says. If you look at the 100-year global 
temperature chart, you look at the steep drop-off we've had since 2007. It's 
the steepest drop in global temperatures in the last hundred years.

So how can the media and scientific elites make a case for global warming when 
it's actually cooling? 

Casey suggests climate-change theorists have simply wedded themselves to the 
wrong theory — namely, that global temperatures respond to the level of 
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Any scientist suggesting otherwise is castigated as a heretic, though there are 
other prominent scientists who support Casey.

Noted Russian astrophysicist Habibullo I. Abdussamatov has argued that a new 
mini-ice age has begun, though Casey doesn't go that far. 

He does agree with Abdussamatov that the real driver of global climate is solar 
activity, namely sunspots. These correspond to shifts in global temperature 
with a greater than 90 percent accuracy, he says. 

The environmental left focuses instead on ever-rising greenhouse emissions, 
suggesting nature is just taking a bit of a breather before the upward march in 
temperatures ineluctably resumes. 

There are two fundamental flaws with that, Casey says. No. 1, the 
greenhouse-gas theory, and the global climate models that they produced, never 
permitted a pause. As long as CO2 levels were going up, the only thing that 
could happen was global temperatures could go up. That has not happened. 

No. 2, there could absolutely be no cooling, much less a pause. And yet we've 
been cooling for 11 years now. 

The recent polar vortex that sent temperatures across the Midwest plunging to 
sub-zero records is not an aberration, Casey says. 

If Dark Winter is right, that means the nation is busily preparing for the 
wrong calamity. 

We don't have 10 years, Casey warns. We've squandered during President 
Obama's administration eight years ... and we didn't have eight years to 
squander. 

The worst of the cooling cycle, Casey predicts, will hit in the late 2020s and 
the early 2030s. 

Food riots will break out, demand for heating oil will spike, and the failure 
of the corn crop will put the squeeze on ethanol. 

He even predicts the United States will ban agricultural exports to feed its 
own citizens. 

When Casey developed his theories in 2007, he emerged with several predictions.

Rising temperatures would begin to reverse themselves within three years. The 
sun would enter a phase of reduced activity he called solar hibernation. And 
oceanic and atmospheric temperatures would enter a long decline.

So far, all of Casey's predictions have come true. He says, My theory tells 
you when it will be cold ... and it is the cold that kills. 

Casey also suggests that a long-term cold spell will have dire effects on the 
earth's geology. 

As air and ocean temperatures cool, the earth's crust begins changing, leading 
to more volcanic

[MoLiCo] WND: Obama Orders Mental Health Testing for Schoolchildren

['Fred B. Ellison' via missourilibertycoalition]

http://www.wnd.com/2014/11/schools-to-mine-kids-for-mental-health-issues-with-feds-money


Using “gun violence” as its cover, the Obama administration has quietly 
unleashed a cache of federal dollars that will be used for testing students for 
signs of mental health issues in K-12 schools.

Critics say personal information scooped up in the screenings will be logged 
into databases that will follow the child throughout his or her academic career 
and beyond.

Public schools, which have increasingly taken on aspects of psychiatric clinics 
in recent years, will get infused with more than $150 million in federal grants 
to further this agenda under the auspices of Obama’s 2013 executive action 
titled “Now is the Time to Do Something About Gun Violence.”

Obama took the action following the Sandy Hook, Connecticut, school shooting, 
putting Vice President Joe Biden in charge of a task force on “gun violence.”

These are the goals that came out of Biden’s task force:

• Strengthen the background check system for gun sales
• Require background checks for all gun sales
• Pass a new, stronger ban on assault weapons
• Limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds
• Finish the job of getting armor-piercing bullets off the streets
• Give law enforcement additional tools to prevent and prosecute gun crime
• End the freeze on gun violence research
• Make our schools safer with new resource officers and counselors, better 
emergency response plans and more nurturing school climates
• Ensure quality coverage of mental health treatment, particularly for 
young people.

The last two measures are where the mental health screenings for students come 
into play.

On Sept. 22, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. 
Burwell announced $99 million in new federal grants to school districts for 
mental health services. The money will be used “to train new mental health 
providers, help teachers and others recognize mental health issues in youth and 
connect them to help and increase access to mental health services for young 
people.”

On Sept. 23, the U.S. Department of Education announced another $70 million in 
“School Climate Transformation grants.” More than half of the money “will be 
used to develop, enhance, or expand systems of support for implementing 
evidence-based, multi-tiered behavioral frameworks for improving behavioral 
outcomes and learning conditions.”

The goals of such measures include “connecting[ing] children, youths, and 
families to appropriate services and supports,” and increasing “measures of and 
the ability to respond to mental health issues among school-aged youth.”

Both HHS and DOE cited Obama’s “Now is the Time” declaration as the basis for 
the new programs.

“The administration is committed to increasing access to mental health services 
to protect the health of children and communities,” Burwell said.

Of the DOE’s $70 million package, $13 million is allocated to aiding school 
districts in creating “high-quality school emergency plans.” Another $14 
million goes toward “Project Prevent grants” for violence-plagued schools to 
“be used for school-based counseling services, or referrals to community-based 
counseling services for assistance in coping with trauma or anxiety.”

Such designs hint at broader motives and agendas, reports Professor James F. 
Tracy in an article for Global Research:

“1) the federal government’s continued aggressive transformation of the 
healthcare system; and 2) psychiatry and drug manufacturers’ shared mission to 
persuade an increasing segment of the national and global population that it 
has one or more undiagnosed mental or emotional ‘disorders’ that require 
analysis and treatment.

Introducing psychiatric explanations and methodologies into school 
environments guarantees a growing customer base for the psychiatric profession 
and pharmaceutical industry. Alongside government’s increasing control of 
healthcare, the technocratic surveillance and management of everyday thought 
and behavior is likewise emerging as part of what is deceptively termed 
‘wellness.’

In reality such efforts ensure an ever-expanding bureaucracy, handsomely 
line the pockets of a select few, and further normalize a culture of learned 
helplessness and control within an environment that already privileges 
conformity as a matter of routine.”

A very dangerous trend

Jane Robbins, senior fellow at the American Principles Project in Washington, 
D.C., said the federal government’s interest in testing students, not only for 
academic knowledge but for psychological and behavioral traits, has been a 
problem for many years.

“Never let a good crisis (a school shooting) go to waste, right?” Robbins told 
WND via email. “This appears to be part of the broader goal of focusing 
education less on academic knowledge and more on students’ feelings, mindsets, 
attitudes, etc. — so-called social and emotional learning (SEL).”

[MoLiCo] FW: Springfield Citizens United Asks for Your Help

['Fred B. Ellison' via missourilibertycoalition]

 

Dear Liberty Minded Friend,

I write this letter in high hopes you will receive the same with an open mind 
and understanding perspective. I present this argument on behalf of Springfield 
Citizens United, a group assembled to protest the Springfield, Missouri City 
Council's attempt to pass legislation making sexual orientation and gender 
identity a category of “protected classes” in our city's legal code. This law 
will make it illegal to discriminate in hiring and housing due to one's sexual 
orientation or gender identity. The proposed law is written in Council Bill 
2014-189, and is being voted on by Springfield City Council on October 13, 2014.

In short, our opposition stems from several major concerns:

1.  This law, if passed, will expand the police powers of the Mayor's 
Commission on Human Rights. It will give this unelected, untrained body serving 
only at the will of the Mayor (accountable to him only) unprecedented abilities 
to inquire, investigate, and suggest to prosecutors and other government 
officials actions to be taken against private business owners and citizens of 
the community. Springfield Citizens United believes putting this power and 
oversight in the hands of such a board will cause great harm to individual and 
business liberties and private property rights.   

2.  If passed, this law will require business owners to perform services to 
the general public regardless of the fact that doing so may violate their own 
conscience and moral values, using the threat of penalty to force a business 
owner to participate in actions against his/her will. We believe that doing 
this will create an atmosphere that is the antithesis of freedom of thought and 
the freedom to exercise one's own conscience on one's own property.

3.  It will open the door for biological males, including heterosexual 
sexual predators, to legally use women's restrooms in restaurants, grocery 
stores, and shopping outlets inside the City of Springfield. This concern is 
not derived from the issue of transgender individuals using women's restrooms, 
rather insincere sexual deviants who are using this law to their advantage. 
This places in direct jeopardy our mothers, wives, and daughters to the threat 
of insincere deviants; this must not be deemed acceptable by the Springfield 
community.

4.  This law will place senior citizens and other private citizens who rent 
property at risk of losing their home if a disgruntled tenant decides to use 
this law against the landlord, this due to the fact there is no “Mrs. Murphy's 
Clause” in this law. This clause is a common legal measure to protect private 
home owners from a law that is intended for businesses. We believe this is a 
direct attack on private property rights.

We wish to note that those found in violation of this ordinance will be subject 
to $1,000 fines and up to six months in jail.

Springfield Citizens United was organized from Libertarian, Conservative, 
religious and non-religious organizations that all agree on several things. We 
agree that this is not a fight against the LGBT community, rather an effort to 
protect Springfield's 1st Amendment right to the free exercise of religion; we 
agree that this is not an attack on the Gay Rights Movement, rather a defense 
against an attack on our property and intellectual rights by the extreme wing 
of that movement; we agree this is not about natural progress in a civil 
society, but it's antithesis – that being “progress” by force of government.

Our organizations' hope is that you will see past what the headlines make this 
situation out to be, and recognize that the members of SCU have family, 
friends, and business associates who have “alternative lifestyles.” Again, this 
is not about intolerance; it is merely requesting the same tolerance we are 
being told we need to display be displayed by all parties.

If you live in Springfield, own rental property in Springfield, or own, manage 
or work for a business in Springfield, please take action to oppose the 
ordinances. Also, please forward this email to anyone you know who fits into 
one of those categories and who is likely to oppose the ordinances.

To take action, we encourage you to petition Springfield City Council 
http://springfieldmo.gov/145/City-Council  to vote no on this Ordinance. You 
can do so by:

· calling (417) 864-1651 tel:%28417%29%20864-1651  (in which you can 
also request a visit), or

· faxing (417) 864-1649 tel:%28417%29%20864-1649 , or

· emailing at citycoun...@springfieldmo.gov.

Also, please attend the City Council meeting in which this law will be 
discussed and voted on. The meeting is on October 13, 2014 at 6:30 PM, and will 
be at 830 N. Boonville Ave (NE Corner of Chestnut Expwy and Boonville Ave) on 
the 3rd floor.

In closing, I was once asked what the definition of freedom is, and I appeal to 
you that my answer be heard and applied to this issue:

they believe the American people are too stupid to see through their idiotic 
political games! 

   Speaking for her fellow Democrats - and with the assistance of the ACLU 
- Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) blocked Cruz's unanimous consent motion to pass 
the Expatriate Terrorist Act of 2014. 

   Seeking cover for her treasonous act, she lied... she falsely claimed 
that Cruz's bill would affect fundamental constitutional rights and she 
added: Legislation that grants the government the ability to strip citizenship 
from Americans is a serious matter, raising significant constitutional issues. 

   But there's one huge and glaring problem with Hirono's pathetic excuse. 
The Expatriate Terrorist Act of 2014 is actually a bill to simply amend 
EXISTING law, specifically 8 U.S.C. 1481. 

   Among a long list of other actions, under 8 U.S.C. 1481, one is already 
considered to have voluntarily renounced their U.S. citizenship if they serve 
in the armed forces of a foreign nation that is engaged in hostilities against 
the United States. 

   And the Expatriate Terrorist Act of 2014, simply adds that joining with 
a designated terrorist organization that is engaged in hostilities against 
the United States to the long list of actions that one can take to voluntarily 
renounce their U.S. citizenship. 

   Yes Senator Hirono, legislation that grants the government the ability 
to strip citizenship from Americans may be a serious matter but it is 
ALREADY THE LAW! And it's been the law for approximately 75 years! 

   So what's the wrong with adding those who leave the country and join 
recognized and designated terrorist organizations that are engaged in 
hostilities against the United States to the list of those who voluntarily 
renounce their U.S. citizenship? 

   And what is wrong with barring these individuals from coming back to the 
United States? 

   The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Hirono knows it... her Democrat 
partners-in-crime know it... and while some of them may be under the delusion 
that their childish behavior is just politics-as-usual... it's not... they're 
emboldening an enemy... and they're placing American lives in imminent danger. 

   They're simply relying upon your ignorance by raising a totally phony 
civil liberties argument, and if patriotic Americans don't speak up, right here 
and right now, to expose this treasonous lie, they'll proceed under the 
assumption that they can get away with it.

Are Democrats In The Senate Really Supporting ISIS Terrorists?

   Since we're asking questions, is it appropriate to ask if Senator Hirono

CORRUPT CRAFT

Some political opponents win your respect, even if not your agreement. Others . 
. . well, not so much.

Earlier this week, a publication called Arkansas Business editorialized against 
Issue 3 on the Natural State's November ballot, calling it a freakish hybrid, 
a gambit to trick voters into expanding term limits for state legislators.

This constitutional amendment was proposed with overwhelming support from state 
legislators, who designed it to hoodwink voters into gutting their term limits. 
The measure hides that consequential change  from six years in the House to 16 
years and from eight years in the Senate to 16 years  inside a so-called 
ethics amendment.

The ballot wording only tells voters that the measure is setting term limits, 
which Arkansas Business correctly points out conveys something close to the 
opposite of what the amendment would do, adding it's certainly misleading.

Now, Arkansas Business is no fan of term limits. The editorial concludes, 
Arguments can be made for each of these proposals [in Issue 3], including 
longer term limits . . . But we can't endorse the current form, as much as we'd 
like to.

Arkansas Business seems clearly offended by the deception. How endearingly 
unsophisticated! 

Meanwhile, more elite opinion applauds the brilliance of the scheme, the 
amazing skill of these politicians applying their sneaky technique.

Arkansas voters soundly rejected term-limit changes in 2004, reports 
Governing magazine, paraphrasing University of Arkansas Professor Janine Parry, 
but this time proponents craftily inserted their language into a broad package 
that, among other things, prohibits corporate contributions to candidates and 
lobbyist gifts to elected officials.

Craftily? 

What on earth is their craft? Fraud?

September 18, 2014

FOR SOME REASON

Yesterday, the House voted to extend the
legal ability for the Export-Import Bank to
run . . . for another nine months. The
people's legislature passed the stop-gap
measure, 319-108, with both bipartisan
support and bipartisan opposition.

Just last month, President Obama expressed
dismay that Republicans would be against it.

For some reason, he intoned, right now the
House Republicans have decided that we
shouldn't do this. . . . He pretended to
incredulity and puzzlement. He gave the usual
reasoning for the subsidized financial
guarantees, and insisted that every country
does this.

When, he asked, did that become something
that Republicans opposed?

Obama could've asked all those members of his
own party who opposed it.

But then, he could have asked himself. Back
in 2008, he very clearly put the Ex-Im Bank
on the theoretical chopping block. Candidate
Obama gave the big business bank up as a
program that didn't work and one that had
become little more than a fund for corporate
welfare.

So why the change of mind, Mr. Obama?

Has the Ex-Im ceased being a fund for
corporate welfare?

No. It's still there, propping up big
businesses doing business abroad  indeed,
multinationals abroad, the kind of companies
that Obama's Occupier friends despise so
deeply.

What has changed? He's in power, now. And
that power derives from the mighty federal
purse, filled by taxing hundreds of millions
of Americans, and used to give hundreds of
millions and billions in benefits to the few,
the insiders.

President Obama and the congressional
leadership of both parties are tighter than
ever with special interests.

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Fred,

I need you to call your representatives - right now! There is no time to lose.

This week Congress will decide the fate of the Ex-Im Bank.

The Ex-Im bank has been handing out special favors to connected businesses here 
and overseas for decades. This has to end.

Obama’s Crony Bank can be STOPPED - but only with your help. Only if we stand 
together and make our voices heard.

It’s now or never. Make the call RIGHT NOW- stop the Ex-Im Bank today.

http://swmothinker.wordpress.com/tag/republican/  

Sitting down with my daughter for her freshman-year homework nightly has
been a treat. The most flavorful treat yet has been her history homework. We
started by working through the Civil War and the era of Reconstruction.

It was a wonderful refresher in how reconstructed our minds have become.
Between what we are taught and a reality that exists, there is a great moat
that nobody dares to cross because doing so would include the admission that
one doesn't care to protect their own emotional, psychological, and
political well being. Those who cross will be called names and derided until
they submit.

For as long as I can remember, the racially driven politicians, educators,
and voters of this nation have associated the minority vote with Democrats.
The Democrat Party looks out for the little guy; they want to make sure no
minority is left behind.

But the difference between political posturing and historic reality is
stark. I want to spend this time looking back on history and what we as
Americans have apparently lost sight of. That is the fact that though the
iconic Democrat Hillary Clinton can pose as a plantation worker
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/17/clinton.plantation/  at the podium,
she and her party have a dark secret: their party is not, nor has it ever
been, the party of Civil Rights.

As I was reviewing the unit on the Civil War and Reconstruction with my
daughter, we came across Hirum Revels, a Mississippi Senator during the
mid-1850s. From the US Senate website
https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/First_African_American_
Senator.htm  we learn on February 25, 1870, visitors in the Senate
galleries burst into applause as senator-elect Hiram Revels, a Republican
from Mississippi, entered the chamber to take his oath of office. Why the
applause? No, no - calm down! It wasn't because he was merely a Republican.
It was because he was the first Black American to serve in Congress. That's
right! This glass ceiling for Black Americans in politics was broken by a
Republican. What do Senator Revels, Blanche K. Bruce, and Edward W. Brooke,
III, all have in common? Yes they were all US Senators - but also they were
the first three Black US Senators and also all three were Republicans
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_United_States_Senator
s . As a matter of fact, the first Black American to serve in the Senate as
a Democrat was Carol M. Braun, who took office in 1993. It's amazing how the
Party of Progress was only 123 years behind the curve of electing this
minority to the two-seat per state Senate.

But then what do we expect?

Let's take a look at the history of the Democratic Leadership of the past. I
like quotes, so let's start with those:

 
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-relentless-conservative/the-democratic-pa
rtys-two_b_933995.html I'll have those Ners voting Democrat for the
next 200 years. -President Lyndon B. Johnson, Democrat

I am a former Kleagle [recruiter] of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County . .
. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its
rebirth here in West Virginia. It is necessary that the order be promoted
immediately and in every state in the union. -Senator Robert Byrd, Democrat

I did not lie awake at night worrying about the problems of the negroes.
-US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, Democrat

Going beyond quotes alone, let's not forget President Woodrow Wilson
http://www.bu.edu/professorvoices/2013/03/04/the-long-forgotten-racial-atti
tudes-and-policies-of-woodrow-wilson/  - Democrat. While in office he
thought it was a good idea to have a showing of Birth of a Nation. This
movie was adopted from the book, The Clansman, which - among other racially
sickening views, saw the Ku Klux Klan as an organization to be hailed.

A great set of further quotes from Democrats and platform statements of
their party can be found consolidated in the Wall Street Journal extra,

Judicial Watch Statement on Discovery of Backups for Missing 
Lois Lerner IRS Emails


Judicial Watch announced the following developments in our IRS missing
emails investigation. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated: 

Department of Justice attorneys for the Internal Revenue Service told
Judicial Watch on Friday that Lois Lerner's emails, indeed all government
computer records, are backed up by the federal government in case of a
government-wide catastrophe.  The Obama administration attorneys said that
this back-up system would be too onerous to search.  The DOJ attorneys also
acknowledged that the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration
(TIGTA) is investigating this back-up system

 

We obviously disagree that disclosing the emails as required would be
onerous, and plan to raise this new development with Judge Sullivan.



This is a jaw-dropping revelation.  The Obama administration had been lying
to the American people about Lois Lerner's missing emails. There are no
missing Lois Lerner emails - nor missing emails of any of the other top
IRS or other government officials whose emails seem to be disappearing at
increasingly alarming rate. All the focus on missing hard drives has been a
diversion. The Obama administration has known all along where the email
records could be - but dishonestly withheld this information. You can bet we
are going to ask the court for immediate assistance in cutting through this
massive obstruction of justice.

Action alert:

 Please contact Springfield City Council (this week) and let them know we STILL

[MoLiCo] The Washington TImes: Chicago Crime Rate Drops as Concealed Carry Applications Surge

Chicago crime rate drops as concealed carry applications surge


City sees fewer homicides, robberies, burglaries, car thefts as Illinois
residents take arms

By Kelly Riddell http://www.washingtontimes.com/staff/kelly-riddell/  -
The Washington Times - Sunday, August 24, 2014 

An 86-year-old Illinois man with a concealed carry permit fired his weapon
at an armed robbery suspect fleeing police last month, stopping the man in
his tracks and allowing the police to make an arrest.

Law enforcement authorities described the man as a model citizen who
helped others avoid being victims at an ATT store outside Chicago where
he witnessed the holdup. The man, whose identity was withheld from the
press, prevented others from entering the store during the theft.

Police said the robber harassed customers and pistol-whipped one.

Since Illinois started granting concealed carry permits this year, the
number of robberies that have led to arrests in Chicago has declined 20
percent from last year, according to police department statistics. Reports
of burglary and motor vehicle theft are down 20 percent and 26 percent,
respectively. In the first quarter, the city's homicide rate was at a
56-year low.

It isn't any coincidence crime rates started to go down when concealed
carry was permitted. Just the idea that the criminals don't know who's armed
and who isn't has a deterrence effect, said Richard Pearson, executive
director of the Illinois State Rifle Association. The police department
hasn't changed a single tactic - they haven't announced a shift in policy or
of course - and yet you have these incredible numbers.

As of July 29 the state had 83,183 applications for concealed carry and had
issued 68,549 licenses. By the end of the year, Mr. Pearson estimates,
100,000 Illinois citizens will be packing. When Illinois began processing
requests in January, gun training and shooting classes - which are required
for the application - were filling up before the rifle association was able
to schedule them, Mr. Pearson said.

The temperature would be 40 below, and you'd have these guys out on the
range, having to crack off the ice from their guns to see the target, Mr.
Pearson said. But they'd do it, because they were that passionate about
getting their license.

The demand has slowed this summer, but Mr. Pearson expects the state to
issue about 300,000 concealed carry permits when all is said and done.

Illinois became the 50th state in the nation to issue concealed weapons
permits. An individual permit costs about $600 and requires at least 16
hours of classes.

The Chicago Police Department has credited better police work as a reason
for the lower crime rates this year. Police Superintendent Garry F. McCarthy
noted the confiscation of more than 1,300 illegal guns in the first three
months of the year, better police training and intelligent policing
strategies.

The Chicago Police Department didn't respond to a request for comment from
The Washington Times.

However, the impact of concealed carry can't be dismissed. Instead of
creating more crimes, which many gun control advocates warn, increased
concealed carry rates have coincided with lower rates of crime.

A July study by the Crime Prevention Research Center found that 11.1 million
Americans have permits to carry concealed weapons, a 147 percent increase
from 4.5 million seven years ago. Meanwhile, homicide and other violent
crime rates have dropped by 22 percent.

There's a lot of academic research that's been done on this, and if you
look at the peer-reviewed studies, the bottom line is a large majority find
a benefit of concealed carry on crime rates - and, at worst, there's no
cost, said John Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center
based in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. You can deter criminals with longer
prison sentences and penalties, but arming people with the right to defend
themselves with a gun is also a deterrence.

Within Illinois, Cook County, which encompasses Chicago, has the state's
largest number of concealed carry applications, with 28,552 requests,
according to the county's website. Accounting for population, however, less
than 1 percent are carrying.

Mason County has the top per-capita rate in Illinois, with 14 percent of its
residents holding concealed carry licenses, followed by Shelby County, with
9 percent.

When I talk to folks that are supporters of concealed carry here, a lot of
them want to get their permits so they can keep a gun in the car just so
they have it when they travel to bigger towns and cities, said Shelby
County Sheriff Michael Miller.

Shelby County is in southwestern Illinois, about an hour and 45 minutes
driving time from St. Louis. Its crime rate is low, and the majority of
charges are domestic-related, Sheriff Miller said. He doesn't anticipate
concealed carry to change the statistics much.

1. Federal Employees Working Full-Time for Their Unions

Hundreds of federal employees are working full-time for their unions rather 
than the agencies that pay their salaries.

At the IRS, 286 full-time staffers worked exclusively for the National Treasury 
Employees Union (NTEU) while collecting federal paychecks in 2012, the latest 
year for which statistics are available.

The IRS provides not only salaries but also office space and equipment to NTEU 
agents representing 92,000 IRS workers, the Washington Times reported.

The IRS deputy commissioner calculates that these union workers spent 573,319 
hours on NTEU business that year, the equivalent of 286 full-time employees 
performing only union labor.

Taxpayers also shelled out $687,400 in travel expenses for the union operatives.

The union naturally wants greater benefits, bigger salaries and more handsome 
bonuses, so Congress pays the union to do it, the Times reported.

More than 90 percent of NTEU campaign contributions go to Democrats, according 
to Kenric Ward, a reporter for Watchdog.org.

And the union's president is Colleen Kelley, an Obama appointee to the Federal 
Salary Council, which consults with the government on how much to pay federal 
workers.

They're not working for taxpayers. Instead, they're working against the agency 
by bringing grievances and trying to increase the cost to taxpayers through 
collective bargaining agreements, Nathan Mehrens, president of Americans for 
Limited Government, told Watchdog.org, a project of the nonprofit Franklin 
Center for Government  Public Integrity.

The IRS is not the only federal agency where employees work full time on union 
business.

At the Department of Veterans Affairs, more than 250 employees are working full 
time for one of four unions, according to Mehrens' organization.

At the Department of Transportation, 35 employees work exclusively for a union, 
some receiving annual salaries of more than $170,000.

The Environmental Protection Agency pays more than $1.6 million a year to 
employees who work full time for their union.

Altogether, taxpayers spent around $156 million on federal employees who did 
no federal work at all in 2012, Mehrens said.

Amy Kremer, former chair of the national Tea Party Express, told Watchdog: 
I've always said that no taxpayer money should go to fund any union activity 
whatsoever, especially partisan politics.

9 Overlooked Free Benefits for People Over 50
 
2. California Suffering From 'Misplaced Priorities'

The nation's most populous state is battling double-barreled calamities — 
California's agriculture is in a downward spiraling due to drought, and its 
debt is soaring amid increasing immigration and staggering pension obligations.

But perhaps an even bigger problem facing the state is misplaced priorities, 
according to Forbes.com contributor Thomas Del Beccaro.

California has seen a wave of immigration over several decades and now has more 
than 38 million residents, with an equal number of Latinos and non-Hispanic 
whites. But projections show that the population will continue to grow due to 
immigration and could reach 50 million within two decades.

That should mean Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown would place a high priority on job 
creation. But that is not the case today, according to Del Beccaro, former 
chairman of the California Republican Party and a frequent radio and television 
commentator.

California has one of America's highest unemployment rates. And with 12 percent 
of the nation's population, the state has 30 percent of the country's welfare 
recipients.

Debt at the state and municipal levels stands at more than $1.1 trillion, much 
of that tied to pensions.

Gov. Brown recently signed a large tax increase with a top rate of 13.3 
percent, and California taxes are 42 percent higher than in Texas. The Golden 
State also has implemented a 15-cent-per-gallon gasoline tax increase to fight 
climate change — all factors not likely to spur new job creation in the state.

On top of that, California is in the midst of a three-year drought that is 
estimated to result in economic losses of $2.2 billion in the state's 
agriculture industry this year alone, plus the loss of more than 17,000 jobs.

Candid Cameras for Cops 


Should policemen be required to wear cameras? 

Some already do. The rationale for the proposal is this: when police wear 
cameras that — with a few carefully defined exceptions — must be on whenever 
officers are on the job, they do their jobs better. 

With respect to the furor in Ferguson

 , Missouri, a big question is what exactly happened there the day a cop shot 
and killed Michael Brown. 

Officer Darren Wilson claims self-defense; he and eyewitnesses disagree about 
details. 

It would have been helpful to have video of what happened. (We do have video

  of an immediately preceding incident: of Brown, a large man, robbing cigars 
from a local store and shoving the protesting store owner, a much smaller man.) 
  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/UniformPoliceCamera.png 

Or consider another case I've discussed

  to begin outfitting NYPD with cameras. 

But there's no reason to limit pilot programs to the Big Apple. 

Some police work, like meetings with confidential informants, cannot be 
recorded without making the work impossible. But cops who are on the beat, 
entering a home, stopping motorists and the like should be recorded while doing 
these things. With appropriate safeguards against malfunction, the cameras 
could both prevent unnecessary violence and support officers who are in fact 
justified in using deadly force. 

Until the advent of universal peace and harmony, let's give the cameras a try. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

What's Going On Here? 


Sometimes asking What's going on here? (repeatedly) can keep a problem in the 
public eye -- when many who should know better would rather sweep it under the 
rug. In this case, the problem is $1.6 million unaccounted for in recent Penn 
Forest Township budgets. The Tennessee township's annual budget is only $4 
million or so. 

Former supervisor Paul Montemuro is one of those chastising the current board 
of supervisors. If they'd just agree to conduct the forensic audit of the 
couple of years leading up to 2008, I would shut up, he says

 . The board approved that audit in 2012 but has not followed through.   
http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/Schutter.png Another fellow not shutting 
up is township auditor Matt Schutter, elected last November as a Libertarian. 
Throughout 2014 he has demanded that the audit go forward and township spending 
be fully accounted for, and has also asked the state attorney general to launch 
an investigation. 

Schutter tells Common Sense that despite sundry harassment, he won't relax the 
pressure any time soon. The board in July meeting voted that no one of the 
public can speak in a supervisors meeting about the money, Schutter explains. 
At the August meeting, I informed them that they were violating the First 
Amendment. 

He then formally advised the supervisors that he would pursue further legal 
action (under 42 USC 1983!

[MoLiCo] FW: Regarding Amendment 3 and Common Core

[Fred B. Ellison]

From: Sarah Baumgartner 
Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2014 2:40 PM



 

I believe the amendment for teacher evaluation is on the highlighted area of
the first paragraph.   I do not know if it matches the wording on the
petitions that were signed by the citizens though.  Ellen B.

 

 

On Sunday, August 17, 2014 8:19 AM, Mary Byrne mary.byrn...@att.net wrote:

 

For those of you in MO -- Amendment 3 will be on our Nov. ballot. 

http://themissouritimes.com/12106/press-release-constitutional-amendment-rel
ating-teacher-performance-evaluation-systems-certified-november-ballot/

 

I received the following question (in italics) this morning. Below the
question is my response.

  

Is amendment 3 linked to common core besides both linking teacher evals with
student assessment scores?

 

In a way, yes --

 

Amendment 3 is tied to common core, in that, it is the students' SBAC test
scores that will be used to evaluate the teachers. The common core standards
and aligned assessments (meaning SBAC) and the building of the Statewide
Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) are mentioned as items 2 and 3 in the four
assurances agreed to by Governor Nixon when he applied for the State Fiscal
Stabilization funds (see p. E-1 of his application that is the Four
Assurances page attached)

 

As you know, Sinquefiled's team exchanged communication with Chris
Nicastro and others in the education elite who knew the conditions of SBAC
and the Statewide Longitudinal Data System, and though Sinquefield himself
may not know all the details, Chris Nicastro certainly did. SBAC is aligned
to common core state standards copyrighted to the National Governors
Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers (see the PPt
slide -- the copyright means teachers evaluations are tied to standards and
privately controlled tests that neither their school district nor their
statewide teachers association have any input). I think teachers are
uninformed about the implications of the copyright.

 

Look on page 2 of the attached MOU between the SBAC consortium and the USED
(this is the agreement that was signed to give SBAC the USED money to float
it until next month). The middle of the page shows language that the U.S.
DoE will have access to the teacher evaluation data -- this would violate
contract law, unless the school boards are no long the teachers' employers.

 

Also,

 

Look at page 15 of file called Secretary to Secretary Checklist which
illustrates the framework for the Statewide Longitudinal Data System (which
MO has developed).

 

The two documents describe the system to eliminate local control of
education, and centralize the management of classrooms -- including teacher
evaluations -- in the federal government.

 

Amendment 3 is not really necessary for the SBAC/SLDs  teacher evaluation
plan -- it is already in the works, but, if it passes, it will add state
constitutional support for the hijacking of local school district.

 

 NOTE: the above comment simply answered the question about the link between
CC and Amendment 3. The fact that SBAC has no validity or reliability data
to justify its use for ANYTHING, and that the Value Added Model (VAM ) of
teacher evaluation assumes a mathematical impossibility (parsing out the
effects of teacher instruction on a student's observed test score) was not
included in the response. Both of these issues are fundamental to the
concepts assumed by our MO DoE in promoting this travesty. School boards
MUST insist on integrity in assessment and their role as employers in the
board-teacher contracts to kill this absurd amendment.

 

But that's just my opinion . . .

Several hundred miles away, the Israeli government and Hamas (Radical
Islamic Terrorists) have seemingly had a volley of bombings and other
military attacks
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/13/gaza-israel-talks-ceasefire-en
d-approaches  between intermittent cease fires aimed at ending the violence
over the past couple of months.

This post is not aimed to talk about these two instances, or any other
particular instance at that. It is, however, intended to discuss something
that has been on my mind and pressed in my heart while watching all of these
events unfold on the news.

It may seem a bit brutal, but it's the truth as I see it.

I recall standing on a runway in Taqaddum, Iraq, in October 2005. It was a
cool night and the sky was clear. As I loaded on to the C-130 cargo plane to
be taken out of Iraq, I was overwhelmed with a feeling I will never forget.
It was a feeling of gratitude for the men and women who never made the trip
home that I was about to take; a feeling of loss for the families that would
never hold their loved one again; a feeling of relief that I wasn't one of
them; a feeling of guilt for the feeling of relief I had. After 47 convoy
missions, after being under fire more times than I can count on my ten
fingers, after loading the wounded and dying on helicopters and in to
hospital emergency rooms, after receiving the command to lock and load my
rifle more than 90 times, after all of this - I was going home.

I say this not out of pride or for bragging purposes, but to make clear that
what you are about to read is not written by some professor in a suit
sitting in an ivory tower; not by a historian who has read a whole lot about
what he hasn't experienced; and not by some politician who knows nothing of
the reality of war when he stands in front of a microphone saying we need to
leave the battlefield. then go back then go back.

With all that out of the way - here goes:

The nasty little secret about war? It's a horrible business.

There are no winners in war; only those who hold out on submission the
longest.

When you read of men dying on the battlefield, it's not glorious. Chances
are they were in complete medical shock and had no clue what was going on or
they were screaming for their mother at the top of their lungs in blood
curdling anguish.

This act, war, is not meant for the pansy-toed, light footed individual.
It's rough, it's mean, it's vicious, and it's relentless. Your stomach may
turn, you may have the natural fear any man would, but you still have to
proceed with the mission and placing emotions aside.

Chances are that politics aside, the victor of war is the one with the
most resolve. The one who feels they have the most to lose. The one who
feels their cause is most just.

There is a lot more I could point out about war - the bullet points could go
on for miles, but it is the last point I noted that I want to concentrate
on.

We can avoid it if we want; we can say what we will about our enemy and
their capabilities. But the fact is this: whether it's al Quaeda, ISIS,
Hamas, Iran, or Syria, what we are really fighting is Radical Islam - and
the more we deny the real threat the more we are sitting around while they
are strengthened and emboldened.

This enemy is a group of people who say they want to decimate another
culture as a whole. They state they want a Caliphate. With many other goals
that involve force and violence, this enemy is willing to decapitate their
enemy, cut children in half

The Right to Remain Recording 


Every once in a while, a judge makes a judgment so sensible, it's as if he had 
this Common  Sense column in mind. 

U.S. Magistrate Judge Edmund Brennan has determined 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001sabCbcdUfq8wnajX0v3yn_Amqq6smeWkJUG40kLctzrjq94gEwP-dNMP8scq3yd6ZAY7iZRbS2cE7beYI6zYsiHb-_RJeVRzhgevefECzkYq5_Zh0wlacYHaYT-V_Sv3-UcWBM6WueRIApzeKG8Z1ZiyWl7ooFIa5HLxrLK_YhSbIhkTDWmbwL6tR9G6iA1JEKVYNwbKi9igNrrf6GqPhYZrZMN7yWsTZaVABAcm9Dc=c=B6HMLmJrdz0MX9Hoq1SFDJEJI3cVPXouMitqjKt15nw5fkB6pcuK8Q==ch=V3HUXktNtkXKJtMGXbwsAQ9QokP5auYRu9bulfL_m6QazKAW8hXuSA==
  that the same right to video-record police in public also applies within a 
would-be videographer's home. 

The case 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001sabCbcdUfq8wnajX0v3yn_Amqq6smeWkJUG40kLctzrjq94gEwP-dNMP8scq3yd6tYU4kwvWx2vyBeba7BEQAWG4d-NoFBl8Tp25WxPd_EI_QxMcEH8lGN-w-YTq8S6WtOFHJLTQ5t5DagS0Y-DtKyPm1lFyJw1kR5x1fu7Hgx8WvqfwNS2XKaCGZXoUQaHN7OVk-ySFcqP1IIO9w_IA22uJUV1u5p3Rb3cc2Us-zT7YAKNJ-ZZVyoemdyCrYlEJHd293ETVN4GxMaTHBjwgx1_4KXPOjun6rwBhlWsUtS_ZgzktYO9XqA==c=B6HMLmJrdz0MX9Hoq1SFDJEJI3cVPXouMitqjKt15nw5fkB6pcuK8Q==ch=V3HUXktNtkXKJtMGXbwsAQ9QokP5auYRu9bulfL_m6QazKAW8hXuSA==
  involves a 2011 search of the home of Mary Crago, which was subject to search 
without warrant 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001sabCbcdUfq8wnajX0v3yn_Amqq6smeWkJUG40kLctzrjq94gEwP-dNMP8scq3yd6rhdUn5NS-wAS2U8v3R0fpyS_4tfzuUvM4DR4m-KaK9Vf-foesFUPQkGOrgeP5_gdV8RMPFHozvk1-_-qCPPf-WSRsrK4y-f0gRShfoH8_5RKlWgKY_5cGGr4MFq0BLtsl69JG1DCTrw4hkL6yl09v1ZNuf8RJ97d44SRFAFKMXg0XIPS7Uw5SPIF0kokIYDFc=B6HMLmJrdz0MX9Hoq1SFDJEJI3cVPXouMitqjKt15nw5fkB6pcuK8Q==ch=V3HUXktNtkXKJtMGXbwsAQ9QokP5auYRu9bulfL_m6QazKAW8hXuSA==
  under the terms of her probation. Defendant Kenneth Leonard deleted a video 
recording she made of the search, telling her that recording it was prohibited. 
In court Leonard has contended that no right to video-record police officers 
has been established for persons on probation or in a non-public setting.  
http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/Kodak-zi8.jpg 

To this, Judge Brennan responds that if a plaintiff has a clearly established 
constitutional right to record from a public place where the plaintiff has the 
lawful right to be, a plaintiff surely has such a right in his or her home. 

Brennan sees no no principled basis for the assumption that we have a 
protected right to record officers performing their duties in public that does 
not extend to those performed in a private residence. The public's interest in 
ensuring that police officers . . . do not abuse [their] authority . . . does 
not cease once they enter the private residence of a citizen. 

If anything, it is even more urgent to protect a citizen's right to document 
proceedings when an officer's actions are shielded from public view — from 
other witnesses. 

But of course. It's just Common Sense, isn't it?

Today


On a sad August 15 in 1971, President Richard Nixon removed the last vestiges 
of the once-great bulwark of capitalism, America's adherence to the 
international gold standard, ending convertibility of the United States dollar 
into gold by foreign investors. The dollar has remained fiat money ever since, 
but did not succeed in retaining its previous value.
But then, the dollar under the previous quasi-gold, Bretton-Woods Agreement 
wasn't stable either, which is why Nixon had to close the gold window.

Absence of Talk


Yesterday morning, Paul Waldman of the Washington Post wondered why 
libertarians and limited government conservatives weren't all over the Ferguson 
riot suppression, and the police shooting that sparked the whole fracas. He 
recognized that Reason magazine's website has covered it, but, he noted 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ju4ljLy0teGhBFnTIUnjUB4y2yvYj-W4bqlDZOxNOOrknQPNocgq2djLe6UK_2YG2FjKpqBDJpH5-ZOaFE4ajEr0mXK3ifwvQintQdBIJXJHmu2adYCSV_07k3hQiL5zTJvlUpLW-bICek9dXcte0ZNNQNAZW2BhC82nLsvQJXkVRC-fIBgSvl7O4DTzlmUn1ZdkMy73uRPiUk6h-jMg05Wjlc3qFeDDF17E5aCVyVtJq84sxnz--5ZIisPvj0SKitnjubqhj_t3HY4rxkKv34rw7_xIr6Fqf49apAeh6Rs=c=3TPk59dfGLA2reJE5PqPntEy1K_mwfQiNWgJIU6LpyofpkJRZNyavg==ch=R5V7GEoTuLXw7aKeUTtWYqlZG6PjKXWBVmhiFcahE4Hodfk5Mp55Dg==
 , the politicians and conservative media figures who claim to be the most 
fervent advocates of individual freedom and to care the most about misuse of 
government power have been silent. 

One might be tempted to conclude they believe that when somebody's grandson has 
to pay taxes on their inheritance, it's a horrifying injustice that demands 
redress, but when somebody else's grandson gets shot walking down the street, 
that's just how things go sometimes.

Or maybe one should yield, instead, to the temptation to wait and see what they 
say when they say it. Rep. Justin Amash tweeted 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ju4ljLy0teGhBFnTIUnjUB4y2yvYj-W4bqlDZOxNOOrknQPNocgq2djLe6UK_2YGKoK5Na4xlXHgVU4T-fc5Y6j1MocZS8CFe-Gt9OnSkAcxAHGPi0ve4-ny0XslE1zE9_qY_iFnxNkOyzqpUpxmx5YgoqUUozIb1nDO5RD0D5Up4oaYuqOAOdL8rgP6Gto-aLGIvy_Yq1wT7rMmXRb6Z1jMwfq2QeXugLusrN6v9yMxb3bN9MyIXQ==c=3TPk59dfGLA2reJE5PqPntEy1K_mwfQiNWgJIU6LpyofpkJRZNyavg==ch=R5V7GEoTuLXw7aKeUTtWYqlZG6PjKXWBVmhiFcahE4Hodfk5Mp55Dg==
  about it later in the day. But Waldman got his licks and innuendo in first.  
http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/Amash-TWEET.png 

The whole thing smacks of bad government to me — deadly misgovernment — but I 
can understand why many folks might want to reserve judgment. 

Weighing on the wait-and-comment-later side of this particular debate, it is 
worth acknowledging that the information so far has been awfully confusing. 
Especially since the Ferguson government has been cracking down on reporting 
and video recording, as well as being not very forthcoming about the initial 
shooting or the autopsy.* 

The 24-hour news cycle is bad enough. The 24-hour commentary/reaction cycle is 
doubly daunting. Forgive me if I don't have anything profound to say yet. I'm 
sure, when the facts become clearer, at least I will make my thoughts known. 

Isn't it too early to make comments about comments not made? 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.   

* Those are good reasons to be protesting in Ferguson. There are no good 
reasons for looting Ferguson businesses.

The Inequality Problem


Ah, the Paul Krugman Problem! How does Nobel Laureate economist-cum-New York 
Times progressive-blogger come to his conclusions? 

The other day, the eminent Scott Sumner noted — in The power of wishful 
thinking? 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ezZL9yWIprTkjEBABfnRK7vQPsb9QsJFTfyJpBNAHqP_Upq2nf9g1-TNtaJAei5bN7kGWDqWhHH8f3qH87kbSLhsgeKaB43zBrHKzchZCTe2AxyYs4DtEm_mRJY6jVZAZSJ-l2vkVBWqNOhLqJYYmePzi16uTMe6pWmArVNCyXoQmohySfRGcjQo3AmLlmRpFWsKEJfehUjEg-LzJ3qucVvoEWnG_E8c0ah4sKKdb3k=c=5FdtHXwyTA7gFR5OQGgxeUlbt9q3WdwxVXZvI9UeN9rwvVTbtKVDtw==ch=mRnH2L7g_ZO7SxhmnFqknPsAhv76Ymm3_9g3afU9ZbqPmflcYsHYxQ==
  — that in the space of one year Krugman seemed to gain a great deal of 
certainty about how vital it is to reduce inequality. 

Sumner quotes Krugman from a year ago, when he frankly admitted that he'd like 
to agree with Joe Stiglitz's thesis about inequality, but just wasn't able to 
persuade himself.  http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/doesnotequal.png 

Unfortunately, Krugman hasn't given us a lot of reason to follow his lead, 
his new-found faith in Stiglitzian equality. Sumner cites a possible 
inspiration for Krugman's new tune: Krugman's employer, the New York Times, 
has, as editorial policy, shifted leftward on such issues. And then Sumner 
waxes philosophical: 

Sometimes an economist will change his view on a single issue because of some 
new empirical study (although that actually doesn't happen as much as you'd 
think, or as much as you might like). But what about when an economist suddenly 
swings sharply to the left or right on a whole range of unrelated issues?

Many people do go through radical conversions; you can find interesting 
conversion testimonies of a religious nature, if not so many in political 
economy. 

As for me, the subject of inequality continues to fascinate, like picking at a 
scab. 

I suspect that rising inequality is caused by the very institutions that Paul 
Krugman regards as bedrock: institutions that redistribute money from one group 
to another; institutions that regulate behavior for the benefit (we're told) of 
the worse off; institutions altogether progressive. 

Surely there would be more downward mobility for the rich and upward mobility 
for the poor in a freer society than in a more Krugman-approved society. 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

On August 12, 30 BC, Queen Cleopatra commited suicide, ending the Ptolemaic 
dynasty of Egypt and providing grist for literary works such as Shakespeare's 
great tragedy, Antony and Cleopatra. 
On this day in 1898, an Armistice ended the Spanish-American War, a war 
commemorated best by sociologist and economist William Graham Sumner in his 
classic essay The Conquest of the United States by Spain.

Certain ills belong to the hardships of human life. They are natural. They are 
part of the struggle with Nature for existence. We cannot blame our fellow-men 
for our share of these. My neighbor and I are both struggling to free ourselves 
from these ills. The fact that my neighbor has succeeded in this struggle 
better than I constitutes no grievance for me.

Rapid-Response Counterfire


If somebody tries to polemically gun down your rights, button your flak jacket 
and shoot back. 

It may take years — say, if you're John Locke answering Robert Filmer. 

Sometimes you've got only seconds. 

You're on a gab show being watched by millions. Somebody says something unwise, 
illogical and destructive — but possibly persuasive to a certain percentage of 
viewers. Unless you reply, instantly, with something wise, logical and 
constructive, you lose your chance. 

If it's dueling YouTube videos, maybe it takes a couple of days to blast the 
enemy and win a viewership the size of a small city.

The offending celluloid I have in mind is a Bloomberg-funded skit

  that opens with the caption Warning: this video depicts scenes of domestic 
violence. An armed ex-boyfriend breaks into a woman's home and threatens to 
take their kid. The woman calls the police — minutes away when seconds count. 
The video implies that the way to stop gun violence against women is to get 
rabid-ex-boyfriend-empowering guns off the streets. 

Two days later, Liberty PA had posted a parody-rebuttal 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001emsw2RPFzYO885QKjrB_OjYBa89Ywxi9emji0Od1tApc-xr2QFYNeh0nnxZvXpP52BgImtXN2HflXAGRvszoDjPm3wThM5O6Je_kJ1K9EG0dJPRquZqAcddks7rkgPvsEMm16gDW_mrL5fQkhMyITmi1v-g-KO0e1GuvKP3p2yNaco86GjyfIA==c=mnzPzqrnJJLZ8izmJMnpjcjC6LTEG5O3Ce3ysLLueiJleBdhrgHylw==ch=XQ4mSeJiDmQeA3WgFhcAkPmaGRkKURdGC9b5GE7mRJ0fSdAfr-9QHg==
 . This time, the prospective victim flourishes a shotgun to scare off the ex. 
Opening caption: Warning: this video depicts scenes of self-defense. Closing 
caption: Stop gun control against women. 

Bull's-eye. 

The video-rebuttal didn't cost much more to make than the quick wit and time of 
a few alacritous participants. Within a couple days — credit partly yours, O 
modern technological infrastructure! — it had garnered 72,000 hits. 

On Fox's Red Eye and elsewhere the inanity of the original propaganda piece was 
pointed out. But it was the Liberty PA video response that really brought the 
point home.

 Esther StermerWas AConspiracy Theorist

Esther Stermer (seated 2nd from left) was a conspiracy theorist. 
She didn't believe the German government. 

 

I have friends who are holocaust deniers. They assert that six million Jews did 
not die in WW2. They say the  number was much lower. Furthermore, they are 
adamant that Jews were not gassed to death by Zyklon B pesticide. 

I have listened to them. I have read some of their literature. I think they 
might be right in many of their claims. HOWEVER, there is no question that a 
great many innocent people (primarily Jews) were severely persecuted, put in 
concentration camps, and died at the hands of the German government. How many 
died and how they died is beside the point in my mind. What the German 
government of that day did was an atrocity. It was reprehensible. And it should 
never be forgotten.

Those sentiments are in my mind after watching  
http://www.noplaceonearthfilm.com/ No Place On Earth last night. It is a 
documentary about how a Jewish family in rural Western Ukraine managed to 
survive the Nazi persecution. 



 
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KwMjWQkpuGI/U-DDLu6ZdgI/LJw/puIMpY1Er-o/s1600/SecretofPriestsGrotto.jpg
 



I also have The Secret of Priest's Grotto, a 2007 book that I acquired a couple 
of years ago. The book (and the movie) tells not only the amazing story of this 
family's survival, but how the story was brought to light by a man in New York 
City (Christos Nicola) who was exploring a newly discovered cave in Western 
Ukraine (in 1993) and came upon several evidences of human habitation.

Nicola was intrigued by the discovery. He asked some of the old-timers in the 
village near the cave if they knew who had lived in the cave. He learned that 
some Jews had hid there during the war. That was it. No more information could 
be found.

STERMER…. 
Christos Nicola looks at the names written on the ceiling of Priest's Grotto in 
1942 by the Jews who hid there.


Back in New York, Nicola started a web site to try and learn more about the 
story of these Jewish survivors. Four years later, he got an e-mail. It was 
from the son-in-law of a man who, as a young boy, had lived in the cave with 
his family. That e-mail led Christos Nicola to a discovery of human survival 
that, when you learn the details, and imagine yourself in the same situation, 
is absolutely amazing.

38 Jews hid in the cave for over a year. They ranged in age from two to 
seventy-five. It was not a pleasant existence. They barely survived. 

The heroine of the story is Esther Sterner. Esther, the mother of six, was a 
well-read woman who, in our day and time might be considered a conspiracy 
theorist.  She was skeptical of the government and mainstream propaganda. The 
German government wanted the Jews to move into the ghettoes, which, for those 
who don't know, are densely populated areas of cities.

In the book, Esther's son says this of his mother…

My mother never trusted authority. Shulim continued. The Germans, Russians, 
the Ukranians. It didn't matter. She taught us early on that no matter who it 
was, if they told you to do one thing, you always did the opposite. If the 
Germans said go to the ghettoes, you'll be safe there, you went to the forest 
or the mountains…. You went as far away from the ghettoes as you could go.

Another quote…

My mother always said 'We are not going to the ghetto. We are not going to go 
to the slaughterhouse. She said to my brother Nissel, 'Go into the forest, 
find a hole, any place. But we are not going there.

Nissel found a cave and the family lived there for several months, until the 
Germans found them. All but two of the Jews managed to escape the discovery. 
They regrouped and found another cave—a cave that almost no one else knew about.

How could 38 people survive in a muddy, cold, dark cave for over a year? Well, 
you'll have to watch the movie, and get a copy of the book too. 

One aspect of their survival that is not discussed much is that they had a few 
non-Jewish friends who helped them... for awhile. If  I understand the story 
correctly, most of the villagers turned against them, and the few friends they 
had stopped helping them, except one man. 

The one man lived in the woods and it was he who told Nissel of the second 
cave. When the Germans were finally driven away by the Russian army (the battle 
raged for awhile on land above the cave), their

Old Rules Gotta Go


Old hat. Long in the tooth. Creaky as an outhouse door. 

These are just some of the expressions that apply to how our cities, states and 
metro areas are run — by ancient principles that do not serve the common good.

offered by Uber, Lyft and the like. These ride-sharing services allow normal 
folks to give and receive car rides at great convenience. 

They blow mass transit out of the water and throw taxi service sideways. 
Super-convenient, they make it cheap and safe for people to co-operate in new

 , notes the social waste that governments add to the system. While the new 
app-based services provide true solutions to the high transaction costs of 
negotiating among many people, governments give us squabbles: the battle over 
the rules governing the conditions under which people will be allowed to do 
certain things is pure social waste, Carden argues. The social waste is 
reflected in the resources consumed in the fight over the rules. 

We've gotta have rules, of course. But they needn't require micromanagement, 
massive restrictions, or high taxes. 

The new era will be run (if allowed) on the basis of convenient co-operation, 
transaction costs reduced by communications technology. 

The old era that still rules the roost runs on clunky old ideas that Carden 
rightly calls mercantilism, the political ideology that Adam Smith

On August 1, 1834, Great Britain's Slavery Abolition Act 1833 took force, 
freeing slaves throughout the British empire. Technically, it freed slaves 
under the age of six. On the August 1 date in 1838 and 1840, the rest of the 
empire's slaves were freed, practically speaking.

 August 1 births include Francis Scott Key (1779), composer of the poem The 
Star-Spangled Banner; American authors Richard Henry Dana, Jr. (1815) and 
Herman Melville (1819); and Thomas E. Woods, Jr. (1972), historian and

Property as Persons


Think corporate personhood is bad? Well, there's a far stranger notion in 
American law: civil forfeiture. That's where corporeal property is said to have 
personhood, and thus can be sued — rather than its owner. This goofy doctrine 
allows governments — state and local, as well as, of course, federal — to take 
property from people without establishing that the owner had done anything 
wrong by strict standards of evidence and rules of culpability. 

The property is just nabbed, really.  
http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/RandPaul-sepia.png 

It's a horrible atavism, an old idea from the bad old days before a rule of law 
was established. And it encourages governments to be kleptocratic. Whole law 
enforcement agencies fund their luxuries and perks by this method. 

A typical example? In 2003 a Nebraska state trooper stopped Emiliano Gonzolez 
for speeding on Interstate 80, writes 
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Uo-bCOnrvw2ggKcjeFt_k34FjDk-71TWJD7MARL4ltzskEwifSSQo26ymWs0RHZxZNR3zJyC_iZT8H0yk_ZxSOJ7xoTb3Pg9zWe2OLwAV1X13JRBdAM_qCCL6gze133_LOKN5I1TMmliNvieiE3JX5ZmYhmjyZ548_o0keR6s4Bqt389CKVsBRivUaDPgpv3RJspbL2TJRQBz96V4QIsW3QyVduqXuqHRCJ1HoGWUzOIiS0ImyMPpw==c=Gb4evNwHOJAYDox92PMPMwFNdE9_9_PHN4UHu-Zz4Zz7-OWh0x1Njg==ch=6wHRb7SB5pCeWEFycDnb5j11Bi4vSkboVbe-Fcm0dqZDWAOU-deShw==
  Jacob Sullum at Reason, and found $124,700 inside a cooler on the back seat 
of the rented Ford Taurus he was driving. Gonzolez said the money was intended 
to buy a refrigerated truck for a produce business, but the cops figured all 
that cash must have something to do with illegal drugs. So the government took 
the money. 

This sort of takings — confiscation — helps drive the drug war, of course. 

But it often takes from the innocent as well as the criminal. 

Since suing the property conforms to neither normal civil nor criminal law, 
it's all rigged in the government's favor. It's scandalous that courts have 
ruled it constitutional. Something has to be done to curb its use in America. 

Rand Paul wants to reform civil forfeiture. Seems like an awfully small step. 
How much better to abolish it! 

This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.
