 Many of the 26 million Veterans in the nation were notified, that on Saturday, the Republic lost a unique American Patriot and loyal supporter of the US military establishment, Col Bud Day, USAF (Ret) (Vietnam POW) (Medal of Honor) (Air Force Cross) (Air Force Distinguished Service Medal) (Silver Star Medal)(Legion of Merit) (Distinguished Flying Cross) (4 Bronze Star Medals with Combat “V”) (Defense Meritorious Medal) (4 Purple Heart Medals) (10 Air Medals) (Prisoner of War Medal) (44 other medals were awarded for dedicated combat service in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam).  Col Day was a very early financial supporter of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC; he called from time to time to provide us with his leadership skills, and valued advice.  He is the only American who ever made a donation to “every” endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress, regardless of the state they were running in, and regardless of whether or not they had a chances of winning their Senate or Congressional races.

When Col Day’s wife, family, fellow POWs, former comrades in arms, and close friends are experiencing such a loss, there is very little anyone can say to relieve their sorrow; he will be remembered by them with abiding affection and love.  Col Day’s passing as the poets tell us ---diminishes mankind.  A verse from Shakespeare is appropriate to describe Col Day’s passing; “Good night sweet prince, flights of Angels sing three to thy rest.”  Now those Angels have the pleasure of his company, and rejoice. 

The below listed link summarizes Col Day’s remarkable life and was forwarded by his close personal friend and the Senior Advisor to the Board of Directors of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC,  Lt Col Orson Swindle, USMC (Ret) (POW).   The overwhelming number of Veterans who have been notifying us of their sorrow at Col Day’s passing, the  Board of Directors of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC, and all the endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress who…

 The parents, wives, children, brothers, sisters, extended relatives, Team Mates, and the majority of caring Americans do not consider the abandonment of 4 brave Americans in Benghazi, that facilitated  their murder by Al Q’ieda terrorists a “Phony Scandal.”  The American people want to know what the occupant of the Oval Office was doing for the 8 hours, while over 125 to 150 well-equipped and disciplined Al Q’ieda terrorists were prosecuting a well-coordinated and rehearsed attack against the Special Mission Compound and the CIA Annex in Benghazi on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11.  The American people and the press were certainly informed in detail, with plenty of photos, what Obama and Hillary were doing for 8 hours when SEAL Team SIX took out Osama Bin Laden---then we watched in horror while the occupant of the Oval Office exposed Top Secret operational information to the world, outed SEAL Team SIX, and alerted terrorists worldwide to vacate their premises.   On the 11th anniversary of 9/11, all US Forces should have been on a High State of Alert worldwide, as they had been in 10 previous years, especially in Libya where terrorists had previously attacked the US Special Mission and blown a hole in the outer perimeter wall. The entire US Intelligence establishment had been alerted in advance that an Al Q’ieda attack in Libya was imminent, because the new Al Q’ieda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri ,who had replaced Osama Bin Laden, had declared that Abu Ya Hya al-Libi still needed to be avenged in Libya on the anniversary of 9/11.  Yet repeated requests by Ambassador Stevens for enhanced security that he made to the State Department, and the National Security apparatus in the White House for many weeks, leading to the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attack, were turned down by Hillary and Obama.

Once the attack was initiated, the…

  Obama is targeting another endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress who he believes is vulnerable, Cong Chris Gibson. Col-USA (Ret) (R-NY-19); Obama’s intent is to take 17 seats away from the Republican led House of Representatives.  Last year, Obama mobilized leftists’ organizations, flooded the district with thousands of union volunteers, employed the left of center media establishment, and got wealthy liberal donors like Soros to donate over $4 millions in donations to defeat Congressman Allen West, LTC –USA (Ret) (R-FL-18), an endorsed Combat Veteran For Congress.  Obama’s supporters employed ACORN tactics; they got more people to vote in the 18th Congressional District than were registered to vote, so voter fraud was employed to defeat Congressman West at the polls.  Those same tactics that worked so well against Cong West will be employed by Obama against Congressman Gibson and other Republican Congressmen in the 2014 election.

Chris Gibson grew up in Kinderhook, New York who was a point guard and Co-Captain of Ichabod Crane High School basketball team; he graduated from Ichabod Crane High School in June 1982.  Chris went on to Siena College in Loudonville, New York and in June 1986 he graduate, magna cum laude, completed ROTC training, and was Commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the US Army and was subsequently promoted to the rank of Colonel.   Col Gibson matriculated at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York; in June 1995 he earned an MPA and MA in Government, and in June 1998 he received his PhD in Government from Cornell.  In 2008, Chris Gibson authored a book, “Securing the State,” that was published on national security decision-making. Over a 24 year period, Col Chris Gibson, USA served Honorably in the US Army in support of the Republic; he is a Combat Veteran with 4 combat tours in Iraq, a combat tour in Kosovo, and a tour of duty in the Southwestern US in support of counter-drug operation.  Col Gibson’s Combat awards include two Legion of…

 While the below listed attack was underway and Obama and Hillary were kept informed, what were they doing for the next 10 hours until 2 SEALs were killed.  Now 10 months later, the American people, the Congress, and personnel in the US Armed Forces have no idea.  No one in the left of center liberal media establishment has even tried to find out?

40 Minutes In Benghazi

When U.S. ambassador J. Christopher Stevens was killed in a flash of hatred in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, the political finger-pointing began. But few knew exactly what had happened that night. With the ticktock narrative of the desperate fight to save Stevens, Fred Burton and Samuel M. Katz provide answers.

By Fred Burton  and Samuel M. Katz

THE INFERNO The U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, in flames, on September 11, 2012. The attackers seemed to have detailed knowledge of the mission's layout and even to know there were jerry cans full of gasoline near the compound's western wall, which they would use to fuel the fire.

 JULY 4, 1776 – JULY 4, 2013

  http://www.history.com/videos/fourth-of-july-history#fourth-of-july-history  

 

On this day in 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence.  Each year on the Fourth of July, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by military personnel in defense of this nation. Since 1775, one year before adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the US Marine Corps had been defending our freedoms; we acknowledge so with the attachment. On this Fourth of July, America’s 237th birthday, we hold dear those unalienable rights-----life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, the right to bear arms, and religious freedom extended to every American citizen by the framers of the Declaration of Independence. 

 

Fifty-six Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. In the below published article you can read the quotes of 8 of our Founding Fathers with regard to the principles and freedoms they outlined in the Declaration of Independence, the limitation they placed on government (Many of those rights are being violated by the Obama Administration today), the rights they gave Americans to acquire property and wealth, their opposition to unequal & arbitrary taxes, their intent to move individuals in poverty away from government dependency, and the rights they extended to every American citizen that they said “were endowed by our creator.” 

 

Then read how President Obama’s views, in his quotes, compare with the Founding Father’s views listed below in their quotes, and the views of known Socialists on government’s intent to control the liberty of the individual, government’s right to redistribute the wealth of individuals, government’s right to force socialized programs upon citizens who oppose those programs, government’s right to tax…

 WND EXCLUSIVE

ADMISSION: SPECIAL FORCES WERE ONLY HOURS FROM BENGHAZI
AARON KLEIN About | Email Archive
Aaron Klein is WND's senior staff reporter and Jerusalem bureau chief. He also hosts "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" on New York's WABC Radio.

JERUSALEM – In a bombshell admission that has until now gone unreported, Martin Dempsey, chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, conceded that highly trained Special Forces were stationed just a few hours away from Benghazi on the night of the attacks but were not told to deploy to Libya.

In comments that may warrant further investigation, Dempsey stated at a Senate hearing Wednesday that on the night of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, command of the Special Forces – known as C-110, or the EUCOM CIF – was transferred from the military’s European command to AFRICOM, or the United States Africa Command.

Dempsey did not state any reason for the strange transfer of command nor could he provide a timeline for the transfer the night of the attack.

Also, Dempsey’s comments on the travel time between Croatia and Benghazi were incorrect.

His remarks for the first time confirm an exclusive Fox News interview aired April 30 in which a special government operator, speaking on condition of anonymity, contradicted claims by the Obama administration and a State Department review that there wasn’t enough time for military forces to deploy the night of the attack.

“I know for a fact that C-110, the…

 Responsible legislation is required to correct the broken Immigration system and deal with the presence of over 18+ million Illegal Immigrants residing in the United States, but the legislation should be enacted step by step, in a predictable easy to understand manner.  The $38 billion comprehensive 1200 page Senate Amnesty Bill being proposed is not an immigration reform measure at all, it is an “Amnesty First” bill, providing for amnesty in the form of legal status as Registered Provisional Immigrants (RPIs), and national security of the Republic is being seriously shredded.  No one has even read it and the irresponsible Senators are ready to pass it tomorrow; where have we heard this before----“It must be passed to see what is in it?”  This defective Amnesty Bill being proposed, “does not close the border at all”, is being proposed by the gang of 8, led by Senator Chuck Schumer, and it openly demonstrates the lack of concern the US Senators, who are voting for it, have for the National Security of the Republic.  The proposed bill actually WEAKENS the existing borders and the interior security of the Republic.  It will end arrests and deportation necessary to enforce statutes relevant to Illegal immigration; it will destroy the 238 year old Republic we know.  The 1200 page bill, that no one has read or even understands, is being rammed down the throats of American Citizens, and Senator Reid said it must be passed on tomorrow with only 10 of the 500 + amendments being proposed are being allowed to be considered—there is no need to rush this disastrous bill to a vote; Obama did the same thing to the Republic with his flawed Healthcare Bill and had Pelosi jam it down our throats—now Obama is having Reid jamming it down our throats—unfortunately 15 Republican Senators have been compromised by Schumer and Obama.   According to the Heritage Foundation, it will cost the bankrupt Republic $6.2 trillion to give amnesty to 11million Illegal Aliens, but we know there…

 Once each year, we make an annual request for support, in order to continue our effort to recruit, complete a background investigation on, endorse, campaign for, and help elect Combat Veterans For Congress. We are unlike any other PAC, in that we have no paid employees; members of the Board of Directors receive no compensation, and I provide financial support for operations each year.   All funds donated are used to cover expenses and make donations to candidates.  Our Washington, DC law firm has protected us from unauthorized FEC fines, included us in a case before the Supreme Court to protect our 1stAmendment Rights, and assisted us for 2 years in our application with the IRS for tax-exempt status for the CVTG.  Other annual expenditures include retention of our Washington law firm, the cost of an FEC Consultant to make the required Quarterly FEC Reports, expenses associated with Web site hosting/maintenance/changes, the cost of a bookkeeper to maintain accurate banking & accounting records (our financial expenditures are posted for the public to view on the FEC Web site), printing costs, postage, supplies, and donations to candidates. 

Over the past four years, our efforts have been successful in substantially aiding the election of the Combat Veterans For Congress listed in the attachment.  The most important election in 238 years will be held in 2014; with your help as our partner, we will endorse a new slate of 40+ Combat Veterans For Congress to retain control of the US House of Representatives, and possibly take control of the US Senate.  The elected Combat Veterans For Congress will help to rein in the irresponsible & out of control spending by the Obama administration, will continue to protect and defend the US Constitution, and will work to prevent any further erosion of the Combat Effectiveness of the US Armed Forces. 

We would appreciate anything you can do to support our important efforts to protect the Free…

 A few years can make a great deal of difference in the type of competent and honest leadership that the occupant of the Oval Office displays to the world.  If you click on the below listed link, you will be able to view and listen to one of the Republic’s great Presidents.  President Reagan’s belief system mirrors those of President George Washington; imagine President Reagan on his knees in prayer and General Washington on his knees in prayer at Valley Forge.   The video is wholly appropriate for this Sunday morning. This is a rather short video that all Americans should watch, appreciate, and fully understand the meaning of.  All those in the bloated out of control government bureaucracy should be forced to watch it several times, or until they get it!  If you don’t normally forward information via E-mail, please consider making this an exception and pass it along to those in your address book who believe in religious liberty.

 This is the third article in a series of articles written to protect and defend the US Constitution; each article is posted on the Home page of our Web site.  The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees all American citizens from “unreasonable search and seizures”; federal law requires that a specific warrant must be issued by a court to obtain specific information from a US citizen, provided there is a valid legal reason to issue the warrant.  One of the reasons members of the Continental Congress executed the Declaration of Independence was because of the unreasonable search and seizures by the British Redcoats who invaded the homes of colonists, violating their privacy to search for weapons, food, beverages, or other items they confiscated from colonists.  The Invasion of privacy by a government bureaucracy today is much more oppressive than it was by the British Redcoats before the Revolutionary War (I.e. the IRS scandal, the warrant issued against James Rosen under the Privacy Protection Act, and the current collection of billions of E-mails by the NSA every day).  The collection of phone call records, and the E-mail transmissions of law abiding citizens would have been acceptable by most Americans, if their privacy rights and their right to assemble/vote had not been systematically suppressed by the Obama Administration from February 2010 thru today, a period of over 3 years.   The Constitutional rights of religious organizations, conservative organizations, tea party groups, patriotic organizations, right to vote organizations, Republican organizations, organization supporting marriage between a man & woman, organizations designed to ferret out voter fraud, Veterans organization, etc. numbering in excess of 500  had been systematically and repeatedly violated for over three years by Obama’s political appointees in the IRS to delay their tax-exempt status of 501 (c)(4)s until after the 2012 presidential election.   Violators should be…

  This is the second article in a series in support of the US Constitution.  We want to share some of the quotes by a great American, Thomas Jefferson, in the attachment.  Thomas Jefferson was one of the Founding Fathers, was a member of the Continental Congress, was a proponent of the Revolution, wrote the Declaration of Independence, was serving in France as the Minister to France when the US Constitution was being drafted in the colonies, served as the Revolution wartime Governor of Virginia, was the first Secretary of State under President George Washington, served as the Vice President of the United Stated under President John Adams, served as the 3rdPresident of the United States (1801-1809), purchased the Louisiana Territory, sent the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore the west (1804-1806), signed into law a bill in 1807 that banned the importation of slaves into the United States, was the architect of his pristine Monticello home near Charlottesville, Virginia, founded the University of Virginia, was a lawyer, planter, architect, naturalist, meteorologist, paleontologist, botanist, musician (violinist), Native American collector, and wrote 16,000 letters in his lifetime. 

Many members of Congress have forgotten the charge that President Thomas Jefferson passed on to future generations in his attempt to guarantee the freedoms we were given by the Founding Fathers in US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  The below listed 20 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress have demonstrated that they understand the charge President Thomas Jefferson gave to them; they continue to protect and defend the US Constitution.  The Combat Veterans For Congress, at one point in their lives, wrote blank checks made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives.”  We will continue to recruit, endorse, campaign for, and help elect a new slate of conservative and patriotic Combat Veterans For Congress to run in the 2014 mid-…

 This is the first in a series of articles in support of the US Constitution. The attached speech was given at the Le Parker Meridian Hotel in New York City on May 16, 2013 by, Congressman Barry M. Goldwater, Jr. (Ret), a member of the Board of Directors of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC. Cong Goldwater discusses the freedoms our Founding Fathers guaranteed to all Americans in the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, and how the actions of a bloated Federal Government bureaucracy have been slowly and consistently striping those freedoms away from the American people. He discusses the inalienable rights outlined in the US Constitution that have sustained the citizens of the Republic for 238 years, and how they have been under assault by the Obama administration for the past 4 years. We trust the American people will join Congressman Goldwater, the 20 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress listed below, and all Patriotic American citizens in their efforts to protect and defend the US Constitution.

The multiple scandals continue to proliferate, and the cover-ups by the left of center liberal media establishment continue unabated. 

 

 

 US Ambassador Christopher Steven’s request for additional security were repeatedly denied, even after Secretary Clinton knew 10 Militia and Al Q’ieda training camps had been created in Benghazi, knew that the US Mission in Benghazi had previously been attacked by Al Q’ieda terrorists, and even after she was provided with the below listed intelligence 4 weeks before the anniversary of 9/11.  All US Embassies and overseas US installations had always been on high alert, and US military rapid reaction forces worldwide had always been manned and ready, each year since 9/11/2001, to respond to any incidents on the anniversary of 9/11.  

To avenge the death of Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al Zawahiri, Al Q’ieda’s new leader, ordered Sufian Ben Qhumu (the leader of Ansar al-Sharia in Libya and a  former Guantanamo detainee released in 2007) and all Al Q’ieda clandestine affiliated terrorists organizations in Libya to attack American installations in Libya on the anniversary of 9/11.  The National Security Agency, the US State Department, the CIA, the Pentagon, the White House Situation Room, all US Intelligence Agencies, and all NATO Country intelligence Agencies copied Al Zawahiri’s publically released call to arms); all those agencies were well aware of the pending attack on US interests in Libya.  The above information and how the murder of the US Ambassador, two Navy SEALs, and an Embassy Communications Specialist in the US Mission and CIA Annex in Benghazi could have been averted, continues to be covered up by the Obama administration, with the help of the left of center liberal media establishment!

 Forty years ago, President Nixon finally succeeded in having Secretary of State Henry Kissinger complete the negotiation for the repatriation of the Vietnam POWs from North Vietnam.  On the weekend of May 23rd, for the last time, the surviving Vietnam POWs solemnly celebrated the 40th anniversary of their release, at the Nixon Presidential Library.  If you have ever read any of the many books published, articles printed in publications/newspapers, or read interviews given by Vietnam POWs you will understand that the common thread that helped get them thru their very difficult period of captivity was their faith in God, their religious worship away from the eyes of their captors, and the support the Prisoner of War Code of Conduct was inculcated in them; Article VI is listed below.
 
Prisoner of War Code of Conduct, VI

“I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.”

 The US military tries to instill the Code of Conduct in all US military personnel to remind them of their  “character and heritage”, and in order to emphasize to them that as American fighting men and women they have inner strengths to rely on, in face of the mental and physical abuses they will have to endure if they are ever captured. “Character’ was emphasized in American’s youth at home each day by parents, in the public/parochial schools by teachers, by the leaders and coaches of the various organizations they belonged to (the 4 H Club, the Boy Scouts, the YMCA, the Girl Scouts, the Boys Club, their athletic teams, their church organizations, at the YWCA, etc.), by religious leaders in the churches/synagogues they attended, in service academies where they were instilled with the Honor System/Honor…

 Congressman Joe Heck, Col-USAR (MC) (R-NV-3), an endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress, authored a new version of the Stolen Valor Act.  The first Stolen Valor Law made it a crime to lie about being awarded a medal for valor while serving in the US Armed Forces. Last summer the Supreme Court ruled the Stolen Valor Law was too broad and violated the “Free Speech” provision of the US Constitution.  Congressman Heck said he understood that fraud is already a crime, but noted that each state punishes it in a different way, and since the military awards for valor are federally authored awards, he felt strongly that there needed to be a uniform federal standard to deal with the issue.   Last summer, Congressman Heck analyzed the Supreme Court’s decision, and saw an opening to propose an updated version of the law by inserting a line about gaining “material advantage”.  The new language in the Act states that if someone lies about being awarded a certain medal, with the intent of gaining materially, profiting personally, or profiting financially it would violate the Stolen Valor Act.

“People who earn these awards have taken an oath to put their life on the line,” Congressman Heck said, “and awards are often given posthumously.” These types of issues should be held to a higher standard. Evidently, the Supreme Court thinks it’s OK to lie about winning one of these. But if you are going to lie to actually benefit in some material way, I think that needs to be held to a higher standard.”

 With the modified language that Congressman Heck authored, the House voted to pass the revised Stolen Valor Act in its new form.  The Senate version of the Stolen Valor Act is co-sponsored by Senator Jon Tester (D-Mont) and Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) is close to passage; as soon as it is passed Congressman Heck’s Stolen Valor Bill will be sent to the White House for Obama’s signature. “The second version of the Stolen Valor Act” said Congressman Heck “…

 In the below listed article, Dr. Judith Reisman, a therapist, discusses a shocking secret the Pentagon has tried to keep a lid on since they were forced to admit openly homosexual males into the US Armed Forces.  With 1,219,510 men serving in the US Armed Forces, the Defense Department reported that if only 17 % of young recruits who were sexually assaulted reported it, then based upon the hard figure of 10,700 male victims who filed formal complaints of homosexual assaults, the Pentagon estimated that 62,941 military men were forcibly sodomized by homosexual males in the military in a one year period---the large number of male rapes in the US Armed Forces had never happened in history.  If only several criminal homosexual assaults were perpetrated against male members of the US military, their numbers would have been too high; the men who perpetrate those crimes, should be dishonorably discharged from the US Armed Forces and jailed in military prisons for their crimes.  The Obama Administration forced the US military to accept and enlist openly homosexual men; they have turned the US Armed Forces into an openly gay military organization—the first major military organization in the world to label itself openly gay. The above figures are based upon records compiled in by the Pentagon.  The sexual assaults on young straight recruits have been increasing, while at the same time, the suicide rates of males in the US military have been increasing to 349, almost one a day.  By clicking on the below listed link, you will be able to learn that last year the Veterans Administration treated 34,000 male Veterans who were traumatized after being sexually assaulted or sodomized by openly homosexual active duty military males.  The suicide rate for Veterans is averaging 22 Veterans/day for various reasons, one of which is because of homosexual assaults when they were on active duty; this epidemic of homosexual assaults is a further example of how the Obama Administration’s…

 On this Memorial Day and every day, we not only honor all military personnel who gave the last full measure of devotion in combat to their country, we also honor all military Veterans who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives,” and we will not forget to honor those courageous military canine who have protected members of the US Armed Forces going in “Harm’s Way” daily.  This year we ask all Americans to please remember two former US Navy SEALs who ran to the sound of gunfire, even though they were told to “STAND DOWN”, and by their heroic action saved the lives of 32 Americans who were under attack in the Benghazi Mission by 125+ Al Q’ieda terrorist.

On this Memorial Day weekend, we want to share the below listed story about Sgt Ross Gundlach, USMC, a Dog Handler in Afghanistan, and Casey, his US Marine Corps canine partner.  Sgt Gundlach credits Casey with saving his life during some of the 150 combat missions they prosecuted together in Afghanistan, while Casey was searching for and detecting explosives devices planted by terrorists to kill US military combat personnel.

DES MOINES, Iowa – When Marine Sgt. Ross Gundlach served as a dog handler in Afghanistan, he told the yellow lab who was his constant companion that he'd look her up when he returned home.

"I promised her if we made it out of alive, I'd do whatever it took to find her," Gundlach said.

The video, "Underground Great Wall of China", can be viewed by clicking on the below listed link; it was produced by Georgetown University.  It relates how China went public in 2009 with how they have hardened 3000 kilometers of tunnels under the Great Wall, and that those hardened sites are safe from bunker busting nuclear weapons.  The hardened sites were created to protect China’s nuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles from a direct attack; it was a game changer in the balance of nuclear weapons.  The Chinese can house over 100 million soldiers/people in those tunnels. The firm number of China’s nuclear warheads possess is not known for sure, but they total somewhere between 420 and 3000 nuclear warheads, and china keeps increasing their numbers. 

In 2009, the left of center liberal media establishment did not provide the American people with Chinese national TV News releases, because Obama was in the process of negotiating the New START Nuclear Treaty, reducing the US Nuclear Arsenal from 5113 warheads that President Bush’s National Security Team felt the US must possess if it was to be viewed as a serious deterrent by the Chinese and the Russians.  However, since Obama was in the process of reducing the US nuclear arsenal down  from 5113 to 1550 nuclear warheads, while Russian was maintaining over 3000 nuclear warheads, and China was in the process of increasing their nuclear arsenal, that information would have created massive opposition in the US to Obama’s reduction in the USA’ nuclear safeguard.  The China news release is presented for your review so you can fully understand the major risk Obama is taking in the defense of the Republic by planning to “unilaterally”reduce the US Nuclear Arsenal down further from 1550 to 1000 nuclear warhead.  All experts in the country feel the US Nuclear Arsenal really needs modernization not reduction to a level where China and Russia will feel confident that the US will not be able to respond…

 On Armed Forces Day, we remember the many young high school graduates who entered the military in the 1950s whom were very motivated to serve, because of examples set by relatives who served in WWII; their relatives were members of the Greatest Generation.  After Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan, many of the young men in the nation dropped out of high school to volunteer for combat at the beginning of WWII—it was a selfless and patriotic act by a truly Great Generation of Americans. 

Today only a small percentage of America’s youth are motivated to volunteer and serve in the military; those who are serving are members of the greatest military fighting force in the world.   We “honor” all who served in defense of the Republic in years gone by, those who gave the last full measure of devotion, and especially those going into “Harm’s Way” today in Afghanistan and in the World Wide War on Terrorism.  Thank a Veteran and/or a member of the US Armed Forces for their service to the Republic.

 Obama is planning to “unilaterally” reduce the US nuclear arsenal to 1000 warhead from 1550 warheads; when Obama came into office there was a high of 5113 warheads.  Specialists on nuclear deterrence say further cuts beyond the 1,550 deployed warheads agreed to in the 2010 New START Arms Treaty will undermine the United States' ability to deter nuclear attacks from Russia and China, who have significant modernization programs underway and are aggressively increasing their nuclear weapons arsenals.  Yet Obama is bypassing Congress to further reduce “unilaterally” the US nuclear arsenal from 1550, to 1000 warheads by Executive Order.  While Obama is deactivating the us nuclear arsenal, China continues to aggressively increase its current arsenal of 240 nuclear weapons by an additional 180 new nuclear weapons for deployment in Chinese nuclear submarines (China is planning to aggressively build more nuclear weapons), Russia is aggressively increasing the number in its arsenal from its current level of 3800 strategic nuclear weapons, North Korea is aggressively expanding the number of its nuclear weapons aimed at the US, and Iran will soon have nuclear weapons.  

Obama “unilateral” action is the most dangerous action any Commander-in-Chief has ever done to the Republic in 238 years, while Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, USA presides over the deactivation of the US nuclear arsenal further degrading the strength of the US Armed Forces!  In addition to cuts in the nation's nuclear arsenal, the Obama Administration appears to be getting ready to limit U.S. missile defenses in a new agreement with Russia that Obama said he would do in his open-microphone comment in March 2012 with Russian’s President Dmitry Medvedevhe.  Obama told Medvedevhe that he would be free to reduce the US missile defense after he was re-elected, and the recorded comment from an open mike was played on major TV Networks prior to his re-election.

 The death of 30 US Military personnel in an operation in Afghanistan, including 17 members of SEAL Team SIX, who 90 days previously, had taken out Osama Bin Laden, was the largest single loss of American military personnel in one operation in the 12 year conflict in Afghanistan.  Al Q’ieda had previously signaled that SEAL Team SIX had been targeted.   After 2 years, the persistent failure by the Obama Administration to provide the families of those 30 military personnel with certain facts surrounding their deaths has resulted in the families going public and making charges of a cover-up.    

Obama confirmed to the world, for the first time ever, the existence of SEAL Team SIX and the specific details of how they operate when they took out Osama Bin Laden.  Since the SEAL Team SIX had been established by President Reagan, no US President had ever revealed publically that there was a SEAL Team SIX.  From time to time, over the previous 31 years, when rumors of the existence of an elite SEAL Team came up, the existence of such a unite was always officially denied.  No one in Special Operations ever imagined that the Commander-in-Chief would reveal the TOP SECRET specific details of how SEAL Team SIX’s operated, or that it was that specific SEAL Team that killed Osama Bin Laden, to a worldwide audience on live television.   After Obama exposed SEAL Team SIX, as the group that killed Osama Bin Laden, its members became very concerned for the safety of their families, warned their families to maintain a very low profile, and informed their families that they now felt they had targets on their backs—their concerns were soon to be proven true.  The requirement for all Special Operations in Afghanistan to be approved by a Joint Operations Command with representatives of Karzai’s military in the Joint command, resulted in SEAL Team operations being scrutinized by Afghanistan military personnel who might be Taliban informants.  On August 6, 2011, 17 members of the…

 From the Hon F. Bing West, USMC, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration, in his published article in the National Review, he does an excellent job of revealing the nature of the failure of General Dempsey to take action prior to and during the Terrorist attack in Benghazi to protect the lives of American personnel under attack for 10 hours.  Bing West’s impressive background is as follows: he is a Harvard College graduate, received an MBA from Stanford Bus School, is a former US Marine Officer with combat tours in Vietnam, is a member of the Council On Foreign Relations, and a member of the St Crispin’s Order.  Bing West’s son, Owen West, was US Marine Corps in Recon.  His published books about combat in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan are:

     The first answer that Congress must obtain in its continuing investigation is who in the White House gave the ‘STAND DOWN” order that prevented the military from responding in so many cases, and prevented the Acting Assistants Secretary Mark Thompson for Counter Terrorism from sending a Counterterrorism Armed Response Team to Libya that he assembled.  The second answer that Congress must obtain in their continuing investigation is who issued the order for UN Ambassador Susan Rice to lie to the American people on 5 Sunday morning networks talk shows that the Benghazi attack was the result of a civilian demonstration as a result of a YouTube video that no one in Libya ever saw.  The third answer that Congress must obtain is why Obama repeated the lie, even at the UN 2 weeks after the attack, that the Benghazi attack was the result of a civilian demonstration in response to a YouTube video that no one ever saw in Libya; Obama was briefed on the night of the attack that it was initiated by over 150 Al Q’…

 Since early 2012, the CIA has been aiding Arab governments and Turkey in obtaining and shipping weapons to the Syrian rebels; using the US Consulate and CIA Annex in Benghazi.  The New York Times report claims most of the weapons shipments facilitated by the CIA began after the 2012 presidential election.  This is the second time the Obama Administration has shipped guns; the first time they do so, they did so to drug cartels in Mexico in the Fast and Furious Operation which began on October 31, 2009, and one of those guns was used to kill a US Border Patrolman, the other guns were used to murder thousands of Mexican citizens (Fast and Furious has been an ongoing cover-up by Eric Holder and Obama Administration officials for 3 and a half years).  

Middle Eastern Security officials have said U.S.-aided weapons shipments go back more than a year, escalating before the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate and CIA Annex in Benghazi.  In fact, the Middle Eastern Security officials describe the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and nearby CIA Annex attacked last September 11, 2012 as intelligence and planning centers for U.S. for aid to the rebels in the Middle East, particularly those fighting Syria’s Assad Regime; many of those weapons have been given to the Moslem Brotherhood and Al Q’ieda affiliates by inept and incompetent Obama Administration officials. The aid, the sources stated, included shoulder fired weapons shipments and was being coordinated thru Turkish ports.

The second cover-up that has been underway for 8 months is the cover-up on the details of what military assets could have been brought to bear to defeat the attack on the US Consulate and the CIA Annex in Benghazi where Ambassador Chris Stevens, two Navy SEALs (Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty), and an Embassy Communications specialist were murdered by over 150+ Al Q’ieda terrorists in a premeditated and well-coordinated commando style attack with heavy weapons and mortars.  The message…

 After 8 months of stonewalling the Congress, the below listed article calls for Congress to take action to force the Obama Administration to provide the American people with the truth about what happened leading to the attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.   That article is a further attempt to shed light on the heroic actions of two Navy SEALS who saved 32 American lives during the assault on the Benghazi Consulate.  That attack was perpetrated by over 150+ Al Q’ieda and affiliated terrorists, from Ansar al-Shariah, in a well-coordinated and premeditated commando style assault on the US Consultant; US Ambassador Stevens, two heroic Navy SEALs (Glen Doherty and Tyrone Wood), and the Ambassador’s aide were assassinated.  The two Navy SEALs were not part of the Ambassador’s security detail, yet the White House intentionally misreported their status as such; they were killed in the Consul Annex; they had previously jumped into the breach to try to save the lives of the Americans in the Consulate.  Despite urgent and desperate calls for help from Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens sent directly to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, she and her staff ignored Ambassador Stevens repeated cries for help, and let him twist in the wind for 8 hours, until he was delivered to a hospital with severe wounds, where he finally died about 4 hours after the attack began.   The below listed article was forwarded by ADM James A Lyons, Jr., USNA ‘52, USN (Ret) former Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet and the former Senior US Military Representative to the UN, he is calling for the establishment of a Select Committee in the House of Representatives to investigate and respond to the attack on the US Consultant in Benghazi; 122 Congressmen have signed on to House Resolution 36 calling for the establishment of a House Select Committee on the Benghazi Attack, but House Speaker John A. Boehner has been stonewalling the establishment of such a Select Committee. Everyone in the…

We strongly agree with the Ice Union.  Unfortunately new Immigration Act (S. 744), designed to giving 18+ million Illegal Aliens citizenship has no provisions in it to provide ICE with the ability to enforce the federal laws that all ICE Agents were sworn to enforce, it is currently a flawed Act, as it:

 This is another inept & misguided Obama Administration policy that is undermining the fragile financial stability of the Republic.  Adding Illegal Aliens to US Welfare rolls is fiscally irresponsible.    The two Chechens terrorists who set off the bombs in Boston had been on the same programs being advertised in Mexico by the US Agriculture Department, in order to recruit and encourage more Illegal Aliens to violate federal law by sneaking across the Southern US Border, then to file for food stamps.  Please review the below listed article.

Administration Brochure Touts Food Stamp Benefits for Foreigners

It was recently discovered that the Obama Administration has been working jointly with the Mexican Government to inform that country’s illegal migrants to the United States of their “rights to government food assistance.”

The product of this cooperative undertaking is a Spanish-language flyer supplied to the Mexican Embassy by the US Department of Agriculture. The flyer asserts that “even those who enter America illegally are still entitled to certain benefits” and explains how these “undocumented persons” may secure these benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) called the revelation “evidence of a dangerously misguided policy. We are $16 trillion in debt. Adding foreign nationals…
