Walk Out Hides Real Agenda

















Five Lies About the Student ‘Walkout’ for Gun Control by Joel Pollack

"It amounts to exploiting our children, as well as those 17 deaths in Florida, for political purposes."

There is no question about it.  Ferguson, Baltimore, and sadly Orlando are all examples where the organized radical left has organized in breathtaking fashion to advocate for an agenda which attacks the founding principles of our nation, sadly exploiting the uneducated "useful idiots" in the process.

In Orlando, the Pulse shooting massacre was not chosen as a vehicle to advance gun control, but rather to push the LGBT agenda. With the help of media partners and a very vocal minority, it has worked like a charm, as Orlando has become a leading gay community. (we don't have an issue with that, only the way it was seemingly forced upon us local residents rather than organically growing).

In fact, in the trial of the gunman's wife, which started this week, The Orlando Sentinel reports that federal prosecutors of Noor Salman considered the attack at Pulse on June 12,2016 was a terrorist act, not a gay club attack. While the media would never agree, we deem this assessment compete accurate.






















These well organized groups of the radical left are making great progress, and our nation is paying a heavy price.

One has to wonder how many of our children, who while with heavy hearts wanted to pay tribute to the beautiful souls who were lost on Valentines Day in south Florida, were heavy influenced by the lies presented to them by these dishonest agents of those who aim to change the principles this nation was founded upon.

Perhaps a better course of action today would have been to adopt the words expressed on this wonderful sign making it's way through social media today:

A Little Man

Rahm Emanuel, former Obama chief of staff and present Mayor of Chicago, stepped out amidst the gunfire (protected by armed guards) to mouth off about President Trump's new executive order on vetting those entering our nation.

With youngsters in his city being murdered seemingly on every corner, Emanuel had the audacity to challenge the order and proclaim his city, a sanctuary city, would welcome any immigrants and refugees.

Yes, he forgot to differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants, which was by design.

Emanuel is a disgusting individual, a public servant who embraces his power with little to no regard for the well being of the citizens he was elected to serve.  And this little man aspires to higher office!

Many Chicagoans live life in danger, with no relief in site. It is murder capital USA!

Emanuel should be held criminally responsible for failing to adequately control the criminality engulfing his city and failing miserably to protect its citizens.

If anyone with any sanity is left in Chicago, where on the north side they are still celebrating a long elusive World Series victory, it is time to reach out to your Bear and Blackhawk neighbors hither and yon to hold this jackass accountable, and to seek an individual who empowers and appreciates the citizens who once made this city great.

Meanwhile, we will continue to support Trump in his effort to protect our nation from those who wish us harm, a responsibility "Deadfish" Emanuel cannot and/or will not tackle for his city.

Depressing and Deadly

Perhaps you just concluded watching "The Five" on Fox News Channel co-hosted by the lovely Kimberly Guilfoyle, but a depressing and deadly accurate article by Greg Gutfeld now requires your eyeballs.

"How can America defeat ISIS if we have vocal factions believing that we are worse? How can we fight the enemy if a large portion of our population thinks an inanimate object – a gun – caused Orlando?"

Damn good question.

Gutfeld: Orlando’s doom. The most depressing article you will ever share. Share it anyway by Greg Gutfeld

We will do just that!

The immediate consequences from the Orlando terror attack are obvious: dozens dead and maimed – families changed forever. 

The next layer of consequences, arriving soon, are not as obvious, but they are coming. Here they are: 

We are getting a divorce. First, a poll shows that Americans are pretty much divided on their opinions about the attack. Most of the Democrats see it as a gun control issue. Most Republicans see it as a terror attack. And there seems to be no sign of compromise (why can’t it be mostly “terror” and a little “guns?” asks the therapist, Dr. Gutfeld) 

This poll hints at an ongoing, disturbing change in this country – one that brings forth a series of even more problems – those of which I see as almost unsolvable. We quarrel about the quarrel. We cannot agree on the fight. And therefore we cannot begin to fight. Instead, we are like that proverbial snake that devours its own tail. Except, we think it’s sushi. But it’s blowfish. You get the idea. We’re dead. 

"How can America defeat ISIS if we have vocal factions believing that we are worse? How can we fight the enemy if a large portion of our population thinks an inanimate object – a gun – caused Orlando?

We assume different identities lead to different values. Does a black person, or a gay person or a fat white male, see a terror attack differently? I wouldn’t think so, but activists, talking heads and assorted thought-processors disagree. Now we no longer look at a tragedy as an American one, but through the divisive eyes of balkanized camps of competing identities. 

An activist at the University of Missouri, during a vigil for the victims of Orlando, actually expressed disappointment that she had to speak in front of grievers, who happened by birth, to be white. My only relief comes from the fact that a few people heckled her (a brave gay couple). That relief left when others drowned them out. 

The beat-down is dead. We need to train our populace on the basics of group self-defense – meaning how to cooperate and risk their skins to take down the lone aggressor. 

If ten people attack a man with a gun, one or two may die – but the alternative is worse. “Be Like 93” should be the motto – in honor of the heroic actions of the passengers of Flight 93, who saved uncountable lives on September 11, 2001 by attacking the hijackers and bringing the jet down in a Pennsylvania field. 

But that’s not what I’m really talking about. I mean justifiable aggression: explicitly meting out justice to those who deserve it. How can we do that, when we cannot agree who deserves it? 

The New York Times blamed Republicans for Orlando. The Huffington Post blamed Christians. Every liberal blames guns, as well as the complicit wife of the murderous, terrorist dirtbag. And the dirtbag’s dad blames social networks. He’s even suing them. 

The more we spread the condemnations around, the less we have for the truly guilty party. Hence our incremental approach to ISIS. President Obama treats the war on “terror” (a polite phrase for Islamism), like we’re playing Jenga. Slowly, and on rainy days. 

We lose respect for evidence. Our inability to call a spade a spade is the result of divorcing cause from effect. If we can’t call Islamism out for this horribleness, then what’s left? Blame Guns. Christians. White Zinfindal. It’s as though you blame a massive wild fire not on dry tinder and a lit cigarette, but on poor self-esteem among carbon products. 

Here’s science: Islamism preaches the murder of gays; then an Islamist murders a club full of gays. Cause…effect. 

Why does the left deny science? 

The way the media and our White House deny the effects of Islamism seems eerily similar to a certain industry we grew to loathe over time. Remember how the tobacco companies denied the role of their product in lung cancer? To deny that link, now, would have you laughed off the planet. My prediction: 20 years from now we will feel the same way about Islamism. 

“Remember when we had a president who refused to admit the link between atrocity and Islamism” will be the same as “Remember when people used to say cigarettes didn’t cause cancer.” 

Refusing to link Islamism to evil is denying the evidence before your objective eyes. You don’t even need to bring up Orlando. Try honor killings. Read up on the Taliban and what they do to girls who want to go to school. Google “Taliban” and “acid.” 

President Obama isn’t just on the wrong side of history, he’s on the wrong side of the future. For a guy who claims to be all about science, he lives in a fairy tale. 

We have murdered sympathy. A product of modern leftism’s regressive identity politics: we see victimhood as a zero-sum game. If you grieve for the victims of terror, is there any left for Black Lives Matter? If you light a candle for Orlando, why not for Ferguson? 

If you aren’t gay, how are you able to sympathize with gay victims of terror? 

What if you’re against gay marriage? Are you as evil as terrorists? Perhaps, some might say (or have said).

One anchor at another network actually chided a sympathizing politician, in the state where the terror took place… because she did not support gay rights enough to his satisfaction. I was bummed he’d play bouncer to the “Who gets to grieve” night club. That’s beneath him. Obama was against gay marriage just a handful of years ago, my friend. 

Now sympathy is saddled with considerations for approval of other groups and classes. Maybe just keep quiet instead of expressing sympathy, one might conclude. 

We have killed debate. To better enhance well-being, one must be able to argue and even allow oneself to be proven wrong. Science is all about that: prove me wrong, please. Now, no one wants to be wrong, even when it’s an abstract debate. 

Look, I think the gun control debate is a deflection from the core concern, which is terror. But I’m willing to listen to some common sense, or at least informed opinions on how to prevent terrorists from getting guns. Sadly, the gun control argument is a misleading one: used not to ban guns (we know it ain’t happening), but to drive the debate away from the more volatile issue, which Islamism’s universal plans. 

And! – wouldn’t it be nice to talk about gun control with people who actually knew something about guns? Or control? If Orlando had been done not by gun, but by bomb -- where would the left’s argument be? Where it was, after Boston. Nowhere. 

We have disabled our impulse control. My motto has always been: your first public thought is often your worst public thought. Meaning: think before unloading. 

We now know that this is an impossible wish in this current climate of Twitter, Facebook and Piers Morgan. What happened to reserve? Contemplation? Thoughtfulness? What about waiting a few days before you spout an opinion? 

Now every celebrity and their less famous sibling is on Twitter lecturing us on “assault weapons” and “tolerance” as if the world right now really needs a hot take from a sitcom star on his third bout of chlamydia.

The strong and silent type has been replaced with the weak and loud. I’d include myself in this, except that I only speak when spoken to. Otherwise, I sit quietly in a corner and drink copious amounts of wine. 

We no longer cooperate. This sad and sober consequence is the result of combining all the results mentioned above together. Without cooperation, society is doomed. Cooperation contributes to better lives, over all. If what’s good for you, is good for them you help them get what you have. 

That’s not the case in this era of moral relativism. 

The problem is: we no longer believe that what we have is good. How can America defeat ISIS if we have vocal factions believing that we are worse? How can we fight the enemy if a large portion of our population thinks an inanimate object – a gun – caused Orlando? And not this pernicious ideology you can’t even call a death cult, because radical Islam is worse than that? It’s a death movement. A death phenomenon. It’s a force that sees our conscious lives as inferior to what happens after you die. Which is why, for them, killing gays is an act of love. They’re doing those sinners a favor – in their twisted skulls, killing innocents in a night club just gave the murdered a Fast Pass to Nirvana. 

Boy, this is a depressing article. And I wrote it. 

Read it and weep. For the victims. For the country. For your family. For you and me.

Bravo Greg Gutfeld!

Crisis Management

In the aftermath of the horrific terrorist attack in the SODO district of downtown Orlando, like clockwork, the left has unleashed an well coordinated and financed attack, not on those responsible for the attack, but on law abiding citizens of this nation.

Imagine the arrogance of this crowd, who immediately take their progressive ideology of government knows best to making tracks to steal your rights outlined for you in our Constitution away from you?

It is not just them.

Progressive republicans are sadly all too willing to join the fight.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

What part of this do these progressive elites not comprehend?

And for those who scoff at the idea the citizenry may at some point have to defend ourselves against a tyrannical government, they identify themselves as illiterate in history.

Sen. Ted Cruz took to the floor of the Senate to call these folks out.



Cruz accurately summed it up in a Tweet.









Forget that the progressive left has no right to infringe on the rights of the citizenry bestowed upon them in the Constitution, we are at war.

Ask anyone at Pulse; the government will fall far short in their efforts to protect you.  When it comes to crisis
management amidst a terror attack, you must protect yourself.

And against these ISIS fighters, that will be mighty tough to do after your government has disarmed you.

Dana Loesch: "What A Gun-Control Utopia Looks Like"

Should the government enact "common sense" gun regulation, a myriad of tentacles will be placed upon the citizenry of the American people, limiting liberty and freedom while enabling the government to expand tyrannical aspirations.

An Emerging Threat

An arrogance to large to relinquish power can corrupt individuals with great intentions, much less those drunken with narcissism.

Without question, there are some similarities here to take note of, and with Obama seeking to become Secretary General of the United Nations post presidency, alarms sounding over the potential loss of US sovereignty and individual freedom should be eardrum piercing.

GOP Lost Land of Lincoln

Although the GOP collected landslide victories in 2010 and 2014, the executive branch is slapping the legislative branch silly.  The country solidly believes we are on the wrong track, yet not only are the GOP feeble in stopping Obama, they are working with him. It is Animal Farm coming to life.

Immigration, Obamacare, TPP, gun control, gay marriage, Common Core, you name it, they have no strategy or leadership plan to diminish in scope, much less defeat, any of Obama's transformative ambitions.

I have not heard any real substantive push back while Obama falls over himself to foster a deal with the champion of dishonest nations, Iran, and have not read a credible GOP plan for stopping ISIS.

"In a single week we have seen the Congress surrender its legislative authority through fast-track, we have seen the Court rewrite the dictionary to protect Obamacare, and we have seen unelected judges rewrite the Constitution in order to impose the will of five on 300 million" said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R:AL.

It is beyond comprehension.  Nobody can be completely sold on the idea the GOP is this inept, so we are only left to conclude, that outside of perhaps about 25 of them, inclusive of Sen. Sessions, the GOP is quite comfortable with the wreckless, anti-American actions of our President.


The GOP has perished, with no more political battles pretend to lose while clandestinely supporting. The land of Lincoln, and the party perhaps our greatest president helped form, has been lost, defeated seemingly without a fight.

Moving forward, for whatever it is sadly worth, we will be ejecting from the broken system and voting accordingly.

Under Control

Another presentation of excellence from Michael Ramirez of Investors.com.
Michael Ramirez/Investors Business Daily
64% of Americans think things in America are out of control. They are right.

However, things are under control for President Obama.

Obama did run guns, seemingly in hopes of an event which would sway the American public opinion with respect to the second amendment.  Can you think of any logical reasoning to arm those engaging in conflict with our border patrol agents on the southern border?

Richard Nixon dreamed of targeting political enemies, and had articles of impeachment filed for attempting to use the IRS to do so.  Obama did utilize the IRS to target, not only individual political opponents, but political groups and non profits political organizations across America.  In the aftermath, the administration has dodged and deflected Congressional inquires all the way home. These are impeachable offenses.

Perhaps the most despicable actions of the Obama administration, completely inclusive of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was the actions undertaken in Benghazi.  As if sacrificing patriots charged in the defense of our nation  is not deplorable enough, both President Obama and Sec. Clinton lied to the American people, and the families of the fallen, about their deaths, floating propaganda about a video causing all the disturbance leading to the death causing conflict.  It was gun running.

Obamacare is nothing short of a governmental takeover of private industry.  Democrat operatives have spoken aloud, even if ignored by the mainstream media, that the objective is to put private insurance companies out of business.  And no, you cannot keep your doctor and no, your premiums are not decreasing.  It was, and is, all a lie, right down to the death panels.

The border rush of all those youngsters on tricycles entering our nation through the southern border was not a 21st century rebirth of the gumball rally.  No, it was a vehicle in the effort to transfer the wealth to those in nations the United States supposedly oppressed as we built our prosperity through free market enterprise and entrepreneur ship.

An opponent of our allies and a friend to our enemies, the release of five of the worst terrorists we held captive for a servicemen who by most accounting went AWOL is beyond criminal.  Listening to Private Bergdahl's father speak in code to our opponents, an orchestrated slap in the face to America by Obama, was really hard to swallow.  This is high treason. Of course, if you have been following along, Obama is not on the same team as Uncle Sam, and I, are on.

Those charged in protecting the President are repeatedly dropping the ball.  Obama is a very bad guy, but we cannot have his security fail resulting in his injury or death.  In this country, we remove tyrants through a the legal process.  Keep in mind the enemies in foreign lands are really his friends, even Medvedev.

Ramirez ran out of room.

In addition, never in history has the government in this country so aggressively sought the observance of the citizenry as those under the command of Obama.  From the usage of the IRS to Common Core, it is so out of control the battle between dystopian authors George Orwell and Aldous Huxley over who was right is in vogue.  I'll go with Huxley, by the way.

You think Obama thinks he is losing grip by all the above items cited as out of control.  Yet Obama is an anti-colonialist, an opponent of the west and free markets.  Obama is working, very effectively, to give them the wealth, them being those who the United States supposedly oppressed to achieve our wealth.

None of the above referenced items would have gone the way they did if you were in charge.  Think about it.
Obama is not lacking in intelligence, or arrogance, and he has got things in complete control, as least as far as he see it.

The transformation of The United States of America.  Indeed, Obama has it under control.

Squeeze The Songbirds

We are approaching the Memorial Day weekend, where most Americans, at least those who remain gainfully employed, will enjoy a three day weekend with family and friends. 

A sadly decreasing amount will take time to remember our fallen heroes, who have paved the way for the freedoms our nation currently enjoys.  Although our thoughts and prayers are unable to pay adequate respect to these brave souls, they are offered with heartfelt gratitude.

 
While we have have tens of thousands in service, perhaps in harms way and away from their families and loved ones on this holiday weekend, one US Marine on this day finds himself in a unexpectedly dangerous plight.  He is currently being held captive in a Mexican prison, essentially for trespassing and in possession of legal firearms.

Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, who was in San Diego for PTSD treatment, made a wrong turn at the border after dining out with friends and found himself in Mexico, where he sought assistance from the Mexican authorities.  Greta Van Susteren has more, including how easy it would have been for a wrong turn to be made at night at the border.

Sgt. Tahmooressi, who served two combat tours in Afghanistan, has now been imprisoned for over 50 days and now fears for his life.  In a point of clarification, jails in Mexico make our jails look like an afternoon dining at Taco Bell.

Given the high level of disdain of our military by the Obama administration, I know you would be shocked to learn that there has been no attempt by the administration to reach out to Mexican authorities to rectify the situation.

We will save the disgusting issues surrounding the Veterans Administration for a later post (boy howdy am I torqued), but Obama could use some goodwill in this arena, and obtaining freedom for  Sgt. Tahmooressi would seemingly be an easy way to accomplish that.  Imagine the photo op!

Secretary of State John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, visited with Mexican authorities today, perhaps championing some global climate change nonsense, but there was no hint of the subject of Sgt. Tahmooressi having been engaged.


Sgt Tahmooressi
Some are working to secure the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi, most notably Rep Duncan Hunter of California.  As reported by Investors Business Daily, Hunter, R-Calif., a member of the House Armed Services Committee, has asked Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to suspend military aid to Mexico, including training, intelligence cooperation and equipment transfers until Tahmooressi is released, a plea that has fallen on deaf ears.

"You have the authority to suspend cooperation with the Mexican military in a number of areas," said Hunter, who served two tours as a member of the Marine Corps in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. "In light of the Mexican government's incarceration of Andrew, I urge you to immediately consider suspending training and equipment assistance to Mexico until Andrew's case is resolved."

What legitimate reason could our President have for not sternly asking for the cooperation of the Mexican authorities in this matter?  After all, Mexicans are illegally entering our country, by the hundreds, on a daily basis, usually in possession of illegal narcotics.  Should they fail to cooperate, the United States has a myriad of punitive and persuasive actions that could be taken, as their actons have grown quite tiresome.

I think Obama, due to Fast & Furious, is not pressing the issue with Mexican authorities, who might start singing like a songbird if the squeeze is placed on them.  You see, in one of the scandals the Democrats think is a political attack, it appears the Obama administration illegal gun-running operation which sold major weaponry to powerful Mexican drug cartels in a backdoor effort to attack the second amendment.

With the help of the communications arm of the administration, otherwise known as the mainstream media, the administration has done a decent job of covering up that impeachable action, and it would certainly be a shame for Mexican authorities to mess that all up now.

The actions of this President with respect to our military is disgusting, and it can no longer be tolerated.  Any and all legally permissible action must be taken, and while I doubt it will do any good, I will be placing a call to the offices of each of my Senate representation, Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio, in an effort to get our American hero, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, home.

I hope you will join me.  It is something we all could, and should do, as we enjoy the Memorial Day weekend.  If we move fast, maybe Sgt. Tahmooressi can home in time to give the command to start engines Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway for NASCAR's running of the Coca-Cola 600.

We would honored.

Slanted Script

"In Florida, trying to pick out the dumbest piece of legislation is a tough task."

Scott Maxwell
The Orlando Sentinel
This was noted in an editorial piece by Scott Maxwell in his Taking Names column in The Orlando Sentinel titled, "As kids die, Florida continues costly crusade against gun safety." Maxwell is torqued about a law prohibiting doctors, pediatricians and psychiatrists, from inquiring about patient practices regarding gun ownership, usage and firearm safety. 

Maxwell notes that these conversations, similar to those about dangerous chemicals, commonplace and voluntary, make perfect sense and result in saving lives.

I have never had such discussions with my doctors.  Ole Doc never informed me to be careful around gas tanks, to keep a keen eye out for that outboard motor propeller or issued pointers on any of the items I learned about in the Boy Scouts.

Maxwell described the law presented by freshman state Rep. Jason Brodeur, R-Sanford, who Maxwell opined "wanted to imprison doctors who asked such questions and fine them up to $5 million."  Although this was passed in the Legislature, Maxwell noted a federal judge blocked it, citing it as unconstitutional.

Then, as Maxwell notes in his column, at the NRA's urging, Florida Governor Rick Scott appealed the decision, costing taxpayers who pay for the state to defend the bill. Maxwell finds the state arguments "laughable" while I find the forced doctor inquisitions directed under Obamacare a violation of citizen rights of privacy.

I agree with Maxwell, that this law should not exist, but not for the reasons he cites in his column. As the federal judge who struck the law down said, "The law directly targets protected expression by restricting it."

Sadly; however, under Obamacare, physicians have been charged with obtaining, through these types of "conversations", information to relay to the government regarding household gun ownership.  Is this a back door way of obtaining a gun registry?

My trust of the Obama administration is pegged right there at zero, and the nation is beginning to catch on.  Although anyone may inquire, my physician has no right to seek out and report gathered information regarding my personal life as part of a data mining operation on behalf of the federal government.  Maxwell fails to mention that an ongoing effort to, at a minimum, restrict the second amendment is fully engaged by the administration and was likely the catalyst for the chain of events he has discussed.

Nobody, including The State of Florida, is against gun safety; in fact, it is encouraged and continuously taught across the state.  Instances where guns are participatory in the loss of lives, outside of law enforcement and the lawful defense of life or property by our citizens, almost exclusively occurs by those who would not be deemed as responsible gun owners, although accidents unfortunately take place.

I am sure Maxwell is a great guy, a family man and deeply cares for children across the state, but accidents in a myriad of ways unfortunately kill many children in our state, perhaps most notably drownings in swimming pools.  But, even for the most diligent Obamabot, these deaths don't fit the narrative and would be tough to place blame on the GOP in similar fashion to firearm related deaths.  Hence, harm to children is utilized to tug the heartstrings to advocate for a political agenda.

In Florida, trying to pick out the progressive mouthpieces masquerading as sensible representatives of the citizenry is a tough task.

Distracted Public Should Find Way Back

It is televisions most important night.  Who could care?

Although there are a handful of decent folks among the acting community, many are absorbed with self adulation, considering themselves above working America.  As we consider the influence the attempt to place over the adoring public, we can look no further than their blindful slobbering love affair with our president.

Sheltered from the dreadful realities of the current economic status of our nation and oblivious to the restrictions in freedom actively being placed on the citizenry, the acting community plays a role in the promotion of the ruling class in through propaganda.  The low information voting block are those who can be influenced by those who they see as the Hollywood elite, those of fame and fortune.

This is why President Obama has sought the utilization of Hollywood, the National Baseketball Association and the National Football League in efforts to promote Obamacare, gun control and Common Core.  The objective is to feed the consumers propaganda on these issues where the degree of difficulty for the average citizen to decipher the real story exponentially grows.

Please see the following which Aldous Huxley wrote in Brave New World Revisited:

In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or the propaganda might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies – the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.

Only the vigilant can maintain their liberties, and only those who are constantly and intelligently on the spot can hope to govern themselves effectively by democratic procedures. A society, most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not on the spot, not here and now and in their calculable future, but somewhere else, in the irrelevant other worlds of sport and soap opera, of mythology and metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist the encroachments of those would manipulate and control it.”

There certainly is nothing wrong with enjoying the entertainment options available, and like most everyone else, I have my favorites. It is football season.

But our country is in peril, and it is time that along with consuming your favorite hobbies and guilty pleasures, time must be allocated to understand, as Huxley said, the encroachment on your liberty by those who wish to manipulate and control it.

A storm is coming, It is time to fix our seat on the foundations and principles we hold true; our port in the storm. Hear that voice again. Find your way back to what is dear to you; your friends, family and loved ones; and your country.

Find your way back!

Us And Them

As the dust settles in the aftermath of the terrorist bombings in Boston last week, the investigation is in high gear. So is the propaganda.

Among the things that we can reasonably conclude it that the Chechen brothers Tsarnaev carried out the bombings at the Boston Marathon and killed an MIT Security Officer while on the run. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother, was killed while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured last Friday night.

The brothers were radical Islamic terrorists, individuals the Russian government warned the US authorities about. That these jihadist killers were loose in America after multiple warnings is a substantial failure of those charged in counter terrorism. Of course, President Obama does not recognize the United States is engaged in a war on terror with radical Islamic jihadist terrorists, has embraced Muslim interests and has reduced the capabilities of our counter terrorism efforts. These failures are partially responsible for the bloodshed in Boston.

An unsolved triple homicide, which occurred in Boston on September 11, 2011, resulted in the death of the supposed best friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Reports suggest a bloody scene, and that Tsarnaev did not attend the funeral of his friend. Not often confused as Jim Rockford, I got this cold case just about closed.

Obama is pushing significant legislation on gun control and immigration, both of which, in the rear view mirror of Boston, should be soundly defeated. While our citizenry is becoming increasingly concerned about losing the right to defend themselves against a tyrannical government, Bostonians without firearms left control of their livelihood and property in the hands of law enforcement. We are big fans of law enforcement, but they did loose these guys a couple of different times, and a private citizen alerted the police about the eventual whereabouts of  Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Meanwhile, the lack of proper enforcement of current immigration laws has allowed jihadists of all shapes and sizes to enter this country without documentation. Our citizens are paying with bloodshed. We must have the ability to protect our livelihood and property from the terrorist roaming our streets, and both legislative initiatives should be soundly defeated.

Furthermore, the brothers had no credible source of employment, yet were reported to have expensive foreign automobiles. Tamerlan Tsarnaev flew to Russia, where he spent six months before returning, all the while his family was on welfare. Yep, in the interest of fairness at the hand of wealth transformation, the 47% were alarmingly helping to fund these, and God knows how many other, terrorists.

Although the administration hopes we figure all those responsible have been apprehended, the case does not wrap up with the brothers Tsarnaev. There is little doubt the brothers were part of a larger sleeper cell with others involved, and then there is the case of the Saudi national.

Caution America!
 
 
Is the Saudi a third terrorist who the authorities initially identified and have now discarded as a suspect?
 
A third terrorist originally fingered by law enforcement who then disappears from the radar of those charged with the investigation? My memory banks immediately deposited in my mind the events surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing. Yes, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were no doubt the agents of terror on this day, but did they have help? The FBI originally thought so, the third terrorist. In her book "The Third Terrorist", Jayna Davis recounts the story and identifies who the third terrorist was. A compelling read to be sure.
 
There is quite a bit of information regarding the Saudi, who nobody in the mainstream media will mention, making the rounds many on non mainstream sites. Some are very credible, including The Blaze, Gateway Pundit and Brietbart, many are reporting what is out there and there are those who are reporting unreasonable and undocumented conspiracies.
 
CNN's John King was first to report that a "dark skinned male" individual had been arrested.  Fran Townsend of CNN also reported the arrest.  But did King, a veteran reporter who later back tracked history in embarrassment, really make such a significant error or was he purposefully hung out to dry by his sources?  Was he set up, or was King in fact originally correct?

The Saudi in question was initially identified as a suspect and placed under guard at his hospital room after supposedly having been injured at the bombings.  An "event" file was made on him, which The Blaze has record of, although Homeland Security Janet Napolitano condescendingly denied while being questioned by Congress.  A handful of Congressman, inclusive of Jeff Tucker, (R:SC), are asking questions.

Glenn Beck recaps where we are with respect to the Saudi national in the following report:



While the Obama administration and their mainstream media propaganda arm continues to distort the facts on the brothers Tsarnaev and lie to the American people regarding this prospective Saudi national terrorist, the truth seekers will continue uncover the facts.

There are seemingly dozens of question that need to be asked, about the Tsarnaev brothers, the connection to the radical Islamic jihadists and the potential for some extremely troubling answers regarding the Saudi national.  A handful of the inquiries are as follows:

* Who exactly is the Saudi national, described as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi?

*How did this hospitalized individual go from suspect to student (who never intended the school he came to America to attend)?

*Describe the area of discussion of the scheduled and of record walk by meetings President Obama had with the Saudi Foreign Minister?

*As Alharbi is known to have an "event" file, why was there efforts to hastily deport him?

*Reports indicate Alharbi had previously been a guest of some frequency at the White House, and an unsubstantiated series of reports that had Michelle Obama visiting Alharbi in the hospital.  While our First Lady did in fact visit victims in Boton area hospitals, it cannot be confirmed she visited Alharbi, although there are several reports, some with photos of the visit.

If Michelle Obama did in fact visit Alharbi in the hospital, we really must demand to know just what the hell is going on here?

The situation is fluid, and without being directly involved in any area of the investigations, it it difficult to separate the facts from the noise.  Given we do know the history of the Obama administration to distort the truth (unemployment number an example), we really are not sure what is going on, but it all seems troubling to say the least.

We do know the events surrounding this bombing are centered around radical Islamic jihad, and given the position the Obama administration takes regarding Islamic terrorists and its coziness with The Muslim Brotherhood, we likely have not seen the last of terror on our streets.

Furthermore, the difficulty in determining us and them, who is who and who is on what side is increasing.  While is gets sorted out, the answer lies in standing firmly in our divinely inspired founding first principles.

The Heat Is On

You have no doubt heard the story about the frog and the boiling water?

As it goes, if a frog is thrown into a pan of boiling water, the frog will instantly jump right out of the pan. However, should you place the frog in the pail of water and then slowly bring the water to a boil, the frog will not recognize the change in temperature until it is too late and the frog will be boiled alive.

The story is usually descriptive in a metaphoric sense highlighting the inability of people to recognize significant changes that occur gradually until the point of no return has been reached. What is going on in America today has that same feeling, as a major transformation is underway with the greater majority of the citizenry oblivious to the changes.

Among the many instances of transformation currently at play are positions against the church, embracing reductions in military abilities and status, entrepreneurship, the lessening of the value of citizenship and American exceptionalism and individualism; gun control efforts, socialized medicine and American sovereignty.

The monetizing of the debt, expansive entitlements, bailouts, exponential stimulus spending, the devaluation of our currency, the departure from investor protocol and contract law, notable during the auto bailouts, wealth redistribution and the absence of the rule of law are among the economic examples.

That is quite a list; however, the lack of adherence to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is by far the most troublesome example, as the arrogant progressive ruling class deems themselves grantor's of rights through government, in contrast to the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from God as noted by our founding principles.

President Obama views the Constitution as a imperfect document with deep flaws of Colonialism; a document of negative liberties which limits what a government can do instead of outlining what a government must and should do.

These positions are in extreme contrast to the vision of our Founding Fathers as you might imagine.  But as the average citizen is working double to keep their family afloat amid the horrendous current economic conditions, and fails to adequately recognize the reduction in their freedom that is occurring.

The water is really getting warm!

Sometimes, we need an old friend to help us see the forest for the trees, a friend who is stern but friendly, a great communicator who is grounded in first principles and faith, a clear visionary who embraces freedom and cherishes the United States of America.

Enter Ronald Reagan:

Sunday Night Song: Pencil Pushers

As predicted, in the aftermath of the tragedy in Newtown, the left immediately engaged in an effort to encroach on the rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.  Last Tuesday, after reviewing recommendations presented after a study headed by VP Joe Biden, President Obama unleashed a series of regulatory measures, many unconstitutional, in an effort to combat gun violence. However, the measures cloak an attack on the second Amendment.

Of course, the left already had plans on how they might attack the second Amendment and waited until an event triggered an emotional response from the citizenry to attempt to enact legislation.

Remember, never let a crisis go to waste.

Although the Obama administration has never had issue with governing outside the consent of the American people, fearing legislative action the new legislative measures would ultimately fail, the regime sought increasing gun control through writing new law through executive action.

While many progressives in Congress have no issue with this, Senator Rand Paul, (R:KY) has had enough and is prepared to fight.  Paul speaks to FOX News Sean Hannity on the subject:



Obama's neighborhood of the south side of Chicago, home to among the strictest gun laws, is perhaps America's murder capital, an urban killing field of young mostly African American men.  Nobody from Obama to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel seems to care.

While those progressive elites have failed to address that problem they are most eager to severely restrict the citizens rights in the ownership of firearms. 

Of course, it is really not about the guns. It about control over you, gun owner or not.  After all, they know better how you should live your life.

The last thing we need is progressive pencil pushers taking away our Constitutional rights.  As they go for our guns, with that in mind, for Sunday Night Song, lets roll with Gimmie Back My Bullets, from Lynyrd Skynyrd.

We are done fooling around.
