Empire Needs to Strike Back

By dave

Obama Continues to Wreak Havoc on Gun Rights

On January 4, the President of the United States declared war on gun owners.

His lawless, anti-gun power-grab potentially threatens every gun owner in the country.  It represents one of the boldest executive actions against gun owners in history. 

First, there’s his efforts to turn collectors and hobbyists into “gun dealers.”

This would take us back to the “bad old days” in which the ATF tried to imprison collectors who sold only a couple of firearms.

Under Obama’s new amorphous standards, even the sale of a single gun could land you in prison.

On one hand, Obama wants to turn collectors and hobbyists into “gun dealers.”  On the other hand, under Clinton-era policies, he won’t give licenses to collectors and hobbyists without “bricks-and-mortar” storefronts.

So the liar-in-chief is trying to set a trap in which collecting firearms is effectively outlawed.

Second, there’s Obama’s 200 new ATF agents proposed, not to arrest the violent drug dealers he wants to release on the streets, but rather to feed more 4473’s into Obama’s burgeoning national gun registry.

Then there are the efforts to:

* Use taxpayer dollars to develop “smart gun” technology, which would ultimately be required;

* Slap gun loss reporting requirements on the gun industry that could easily entrap large dealers; and

* Impose new rules to strip 4.2 million seniors of their gun collections.

Obama has declared war on gun owners.  It’s now time to strike back.

Here’s How We Can Hit Obama Where it Hurts!

President Obama is looking for a “legacy” piece of legislation to help salvage his flailing presidency.

During his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, he expressed his desire to “work together this year on bipartisan priorities like criminal justice reform ….”

The “reform” bill he wants is the sentencing bill that has a lot of Republican support in the Congress (H.R. 4321/S. 2123).

In fact, the Republican Judiciary Committee Chairman in each chamber — Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte — are leading the charge on this legislation.

But truly constitutional conservatives like Ted Cruz of Texas and Jeff Sessions of Alabama have opposed this legislation — and even voted against the bill in the Judiciary Committee.

These pro-gun Senators oppose the sentencing reform for good reason.

This legislation would increase prison sentences for gun owners, at the same time as it lets tens of thousands of drug dealers loose on the streets.

And it could come up in the Senate in a few weeks.

Which leads us to an obvious conclusion:  If Mitch McConnell brings up the anti-gun sentencing bill, senators MUST amend it to repeal Obama’s anti-gun “executive actions.”

It’s bad enough that Republicans are pushing this anti-gun bill, while seeking our votes.

But to pass Obama’s anti-gun “legacy” sentencing bill, while doing NOTHING about the unconstitutional anti-gun executive actions which Republicans claim to oppose would tell us, once and for all, that the GOP is as contemptuous of the Second Amendment as the Democrats are.

So please contact Senator Ted Cruz.  Thank him for opposing the anti-gun sentencing bill.  And urge him to offer amendments to defund every element of Obama’s illegal “executive action” if Majority Leader Mitch McConnell forces the bill to the floor.

And contact Senator Mitch McConnell.  Tell him that you are opposed to moving the anti-gun “Obama legacy” sentencing bill at the same time Obama is spitting on the Constitution through his unlawful “executive actions.”

Please take action today!  At the very least, this anti-gun bill needs to go to the floor with amendments outlawing every part of Obama’s anti-gun executive action.

FBI Closes In

By dave

“The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look at whether the possible “intersection” of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox News.

This new investigative track is in addition to the focus on classified material found on Clinton’s personal server.

“The agents are investigating the possible intersection of Clinton Foundation donations, the dispensation of State Department contracts and whether regular processes were followed,” one source said.

Clinton, speaking to the Des Moines Register, on Monday pushed back on the details of a second investigative track. According to reporter Jennifer Jacobs, Clinton said Monday she has heard nothing from the FBI.

“No, there’s nothing like that that is happening,” Clinton said, according to a tweet from Jacobs.

Experts including a former senior FBI agent said the bureau does not have to notify the subject of an investigation.

The development follows press reports over the past year about the potential overlap of State Department and Clinton Foundation work, and questions over whether donors benefited from their contacts inside the administration.

The Clinton Foundation is a public charity, known as a 501(c)(3). It had grants and contributions in excess of $144 million in 2013, the most current available data.

Inside the FBI, pressure is growing to pursue the case.

One intelligence source told Fox News that FBI agents would be “screaming” if a prosecution is not pursued because “many previous public corruption cases have been made and successfully prosecuted with much less evidence than what is emerging in this investigation.”

The FBI is particularly on edge in the wake of how the case of former CIA Director David Petraeus was handled.”

North Korea and ISIS

By dave

“North Korea claimed it detonated a hydrogen bomb in a test Wednesday, a move that was condemned by the U.S., Britain, Japan and even China. It was the politically isolated country’s first nuclear weapons test explosion in three years.

Experts said the claim that the test involved a hydrogen bomb, which is more powerful than an atomic bomb, could not be confirmed. The White House said that initial analysis of the test was not consistent with a successful hydrogen bomb.

The report on the state KCNA website came within hours of reports from various agencies that a large earthquake had been detected near a known North Korean nuclear test site.

According to KCNA, North Korea tested a miniaturized hydrogen nuclear bomb “in the most perfect manner,” putting it in possession of hydrogen bomb capability, which it described as “the most powerful nuclear deterrent.”

North Korea wanted what it called “the H-bomb of justice” as protection from the “ever-growing nuclear threat and blackmail by the U.S.-led hostile forces,” according to KCNA.

It would use the weapons only if its sovereignty were encroached upon, the statement on KCNA said, but would not roll back its nuclear development until the U.S. had dropped its “vicious, hostile” policy toward the isolated Communist state.

“The U.S. is a gang of cruel robbers which has worked hard to bring even a nuclear disaster to the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korean], not content with having imposed the thrice-cursed and unheard-of political isolation, economic blockade and military pressure on it for the mere reason that it has differing ideology and social system,” according to the statement.

“The present-day grim reality clearly proves once again the immutable truth that one’s destiny should be defended by one’s own efforts,” the statement went on. “Nothing is more foolish than dropping a hunting gun before herds of ferocious wolves.”

Federal Trade Commission Bully

By dave

“The Federal Trade Commission’s data-security enforcement efforts have received a setback—at the hands of the commission’s own in-house judge.

Administrative Law Judge D. Michael Chappell late Friday dismissed a long-running and sometimes bitter case involving LabMD, a former medical testing company the FTC accused of failing to provide reasonable or appropriate cybersecurity protections for patient data.

The FTC’s civil case against LabMD had focused largely on the potential exposure of a 1,718-page company report that contained names, dates of birth, social security numbers and other information about 9,300 patients. Online security firm Tiversa found the document on a peer-to-peer file-sharing network in 2008.

After discovering the file, Tiversa contacted LabMD and sought to sell the company data security services, which the firm declined, according to the judge’s ruling. Tiversa later reported to the FTC that LabMD had exposed sensitive patient information, the ruling said.

LabMD, a Georgia-based firm, went out of business in early 2014. The company’s owner and chief executive, Michael Daugherty, has been an unusually aggressive FTC critic, writing a book about his experiences during the commission’s investigation, entitled “The Devil Inside the Beltway.”

Mr. Daugherty said the FTC probe and lawsuit were costly, burdensome and unfair, contributing to the company’s demise. “Yeah we won, but what did we win? We’re dead,” he said. The FTC, he said, “has way too much lopsided power.”

What you have here is a totally unscripted discussion between two friends about the state of our country and our political leaders.

As always Megan brings her A-game to a political discussion. Her wish and mine would be that the people of this great country would start listening more to the alternatives to the main stream media where they would get less agenda and more truth.
