 US Federal District judge Reed O’Connor, ruled against DHS for its refusal to initiate removal proceedings for Illegal Immigrants and for blocking ICE from following the federal laws they were sworn to uphold.   Judge O’Connor ruled that the Department of Homeland Security Secretary does not have the authority to refuse to enforce federal laws of the land that require illegal immigrants to face deportation, in the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Union’s lawsuit against DHS.  This is another flagrant violation of provisions of the US Constitution by the Obama Administration. This information has been suppressed and covered up by the left of center liberal media establishment. Please click on the Attachment to read the full text of the ruling.

Kind of embarrassing when the WORKER sues the BOSS so they can do the job they were hired, trained, paid &  sworn to do..

 

Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano does not have the authority to refuse to enforce laws that require illegal immigrants to face deportation, according to the federal judge hearing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement union’s lawsuit against DHS.

 

“The court finds that DHS does not have discretion to refuse to initiate removal proceedings [when the law requires it],” U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor said today, per Business Week. O’Connor asked DHS and the ICE union to offer additional arguments before he makes a final ruling on the legality of President Obama’s “deferred action on childhood arrivals” (DACA) program, which invoked prosecutorial discretion as a means of allowing people to stay in the country if they would have qualified for amnesty under…

 The George Bush Presidential Library was dedicated today----the below listed video is a reflection of a time in our country so long ago, when our President, like all Presidents up to that time, loved his country, didn’t hesitate to tell anyone in the world who would listen that he loved his country, and he brought the American people together---90 % of them supported him at that time.  We have a different type of person working in the Oval Office today, who refuses to admit we are being repeatedly attacked by Islamic jihadists in Times Square, in Fort Hood, in Benghazi, in Boston, and in Afghanistan----have you ever heard the current resident of the Oval Office say, just once, that he loves America?  I absolutely love my country and so do my fellow Naval Academy Classmates, my fellow Federal Law Enforcement Officers, and those men and women I served with in the US Armed Forces in far off lands for 30 years.

Derek Jeter and President Bush—the magnificent Yankee fans responding to the President Bush standing alone in the middle of the field like a lightning rod, letting all terrorists know Americans will play baseball whatever the threat may be, the opening pitch 12 years ago was magnificent—whether you voted for him or not, it was courageous and a unifying time in the history of the Republic.

This dramatic act of leadership united Americans at one of the most difficult periods in US history....unfortunately the leadership changed, and in order to remain in power, the current resident of the White House has been actively pitting Americans against each other, intentionally dividing the nation by pitting the have-nots against hard working successful Americans, and by reviving racism that had nearly been eliminated by the concerted effort of every other…

 In the last 3 days I have discussed the new immigration Act (S. 774) and what allowing the 18+ million illegal immigrants in residence in the US to apply for US Citizenship will do to the fabric of the Republic.  The new citizens will bring in an average of 4+  low income relatives over the next 13 years, driving the US population up to about 100 million illegal immigrants in this country—please watch the below listed video by clicking on the link to get a visual of just how unsustainable it is.

The members of US Senate have no way of paying for the new $6 trillion bill the Heritage Foundation tells us it will cost to assimilate those 100 million illegal immigrants; the Senators tell us it will cost $22.5 billion which is grossly and intentionally misleading.   It is irresponsible to saddle our grandchildren with this type of debt that they will never be able to recover from or pay off. The new Immigration Act “must be modified”, starting with some of our suggestions in the previous 3 articles; they are posted on the Home page of our Web site for your review.  Please pass this on.

 

 This is the third of a three part discussion concerning the new 884 page Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744); the first two articles are posted on the Home page of the Web site at http://www.CombatVeteransForCongress.org:

According to the research completed by the Heritage Foundation, if those 18+ million Illegal immigrants are given the ability to follow the lengthy procedure leading to citizenship, it will cost the American taxpayer $6 trillion dollars in new debt over the next 15 year period (the Democratically controlled Senate is misleading the American voter by saying it will cost $23.5 billion).  This new massive debt is being forced on the American taxpayer, a time when the National Debt is rapidly approaching $17 trillion, and that does not include the $6 trillion in new debt the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has said the flawed Obama Health Care Bill will cost the American taxpayers, and the $1 trillion/year in new projected debt over 4 years, the proposed Obama budget will cost the American taxpayer.  The Republic is already on the verge of bankruptcy, without the proposed new debt of $16 trillion in new debt (the $4 trillion the Obama budget will cost, the $6 trillion the Obama Immigration Act will cost, and the $6 trillion Obama Health Care Bill will cost the American taxpayer).  Despite these massive new debts, the US Senate is going headlong to pass this new Immigration legislation (S. 744) with no way to pay for it (charging each illegal immigrant $500 + fees which is in the bill, won’t cut it, even if the charge per illegal immigrant were $10,000, the cost to the American taxpayer would still be $5.9 trillion).  The new Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act being pushed by…

 This is the second of a three part discussion of the new 884 page Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act; the first article is posted on the Home page of the Web site. 

According to the Border Patrol, the southern border is exploding and out of control with thousands of illegal immigrants streaming across that borders, in order to be present in the United States prior to passage of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.  In order to stem the massive flow of illegal immigrants across the border, the US Government must use the press to publish the fact that a cutoff date requiring proof of residency of December 31, 2012 will be used to prevent future Illegal Immigrants from applying for amnesty.   In 1984, after President Reagan gave 3 million Illegal immigrants amnesty; since 1984, we have been repeatedly assured that there will not be another Amnesty of Illegal Immigrants until after the borders are secure; for 29 years the American voters have been demanding that the US borders be made secure, like the borders are secure for every other country in the world.  For the last 12 years, the American voters have not believed assurances from the US Administrations assurances that DHs will make the US borders “secure”.  Before the 18+ million Illegal Immigrants in the US are allowed to apply for a work permits, and then for a green card to start the process of applying for US citizenship, the borders must first be made secure.  For 29 years, the porous borders permitted 18+ million  illegal immigrants to take up residency in the US, so the American people will find it hard to believe there will be a “new plan to make the borders secure.”   Certification that the borders are now secure will only be believed if that fact is guaranteed by an unbiased government agency, not by Obama, DHS, or the Congress, only 17% of the American people believes that Congress will do what it says it will do. …

 This is the first of a three part discussion of the new 884 page Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act

Eight years ago while serving with the FBI, the press often reported that there were 11 million illegal immigrants in the US, information I had access to indicated the numbers were higher.  Today, the left of center liberal media establishment still reports there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the US, indicating for over the last 8 years not one single illegal immigrant has entered the United States.   According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration/to the United States  between 700,000 and 1.5 million illegal immigrants enter the US and take residency each year.  If you the lower figure of 700,000 were used, then 5.6 million illegal immigrants would have entered the US over the last 8 years; using the low estimate of how many illegal immigrants have taken residency over the last 8 years and the 11 million figure the press has been using for many years, a very conservative figure of 16.6 million illegal immigrants is a more correct number that are in the country according to the Wikipedia study.  Another source for the number of estimated illegal immigrants in the US is to use the number listed in the NPR’s  Study Details Lives of Illegal Immigrants in U.S., of 20 million which is a corrected number often used today in other editorials.  Using both studies, the most probable average number of illegals Immigrates in the US today is somewhere between 16.6 and 20 million; the conservative figure would be 18+ million, not the 11 million figure promulgated by the press year after year.

     Britain gave Margaret Thatcher its grandest political funeral in half a century on Wednesday as her flag-draped coffin was borne through central London on a horse-drawn gun carriage. In an event comparable to Sir Winston Churchill's funeral in 1965, the Queen joined top British and foreign politicians past and present to pay her final respects to the "Iron Lady."  Thousands of supporters lined the streets of London as Thatcher's casket made its final journey from the center of British political power in Westminster to St Paul's Cathedral.  Lady Thatcher was honored with a gun salute from the Tower of London every minute and the silencing of the bells of Big Ben, military bandsmen played Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Chopin.  As a bell mournfully tolled, a party of soldiers and sailors carried her casket on their shoulders into St Paul's Cathedral.  Beneath its giant painted dome - the same place where Horatio Nelson's funeral was held and Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer were married - more than 2,300 mourners then heard a somber service filled with hymns and reflective readings.

  Lady Thatcher, who ruled Britain from 1979-1990, died after suffering a stroke on April 8. She was the country's first and only woman premier, its longest-serving Prime Minister of the 20th century, and won three consecutive general elections.  She sought to arrest Britain's post-war decline to Socialism by smashing the trade unions and privatizing Britain's national assets, while boosting home ownership and the services sector.  In 1979, when she came to power, Britain was in the grip of a long post-war decline with troubled labor relations and low productivity and Britain was being outperformed by…

 The ten Congressmen who co-sponsored legislation to oppose the precedence of the new Distinguished Warfare Medal for drone operators, previously approved by the Chairman of the Joint-Chiefs-of-Staff, Gen Martin E. Dempsey, for drone operators whose lives were not in any kind of danger, were successful in their opposition when Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel cancelled it yesterday.  The proposed medal was approved by Gen Dempsey to have had a higher rank of precedence than the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart Medal, the Air Medal, and the Army, Air Force, & Navy/Marine Corps Commendation Medals for Valor.   The backlash from Capitol Hill had a great deal to do with having Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, a Combat Veterans of the Vietnam conflict, tell Gen Dempsey to immediately stop production of the medal, and instead to develop a special pin or device that would be attached to already existing medals or ribbons when they were awarded one of the existing medals for making drone strikes.   Five of the Congressmen who co-sponsored the legislation, Cong Duncan D. Hunter, Capt-USMCR (R-CA-52) http, Cong Michael Coffman, Maj-USMC (Ret) (R-CO-6) , Cong Adam Kinzinger, Cpt-AFNG (R-IL-11), Cong Michael Grimm, USMC/FBI (R-NY-11), and Cong Joe Heck, Col-USAR (MC) (R-NV-3) are endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress.  The other 5 Congressmen who co-sponsored the legislation were Cong Thomas Rooney (R-FL), Cong Tim Murphy (R-PA), Cong C. W. Bill Young (R-FL), Cong Ken Calvert (R-CA), and Cong Steven M. Palazzo(R-MS).  Congressman Hunter had become very concerned by the insensitivity demonstrated by Gen Dempsey and the Pentagon chain of command that approved the proposed new Drone Medal; he drafted legislation in opposition to the approved rank of precedence of the drone medal and sought the support of the co-sponsors for his legislation.

 By having General Martin Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff, issue an order to the US Armed Forces that all Flag and General Officers will now be evaluated by the subordinates under their command, Obama is destabilizing of the US military chain of command structure.  That directive violates good order and military leadership principles taught in Leadership Courses to all officer trainees in every Military Academy in every country in the world.  General Dempsey directive is a purely inept politically correct policy order that will destabilize unit cohesion, unit moral, and will destroy the principles of the chain of command structure followed in the US Armed Forces by the US Military Officer Corp.  What is really going on here is that Obama is employing enlisted personnel in the US Armed Forces to submit written evaluations on Flag and General Officers, in order to make sure they toe the line in support of Obama’s radical Social Experiment on Diversity.  The same type of reporting by enlisted personnel has been going on for 4 years of unit commanding officers; enlisted personnel have been encouraged for 4 years, to use an (800) telephone hot line set up for them, to put the commanding officers of their units on report for various reasons; it has resulted in the removal of hundreds of Commanding Officers (COs) for various infractions, many of whom have not agreed with Obama’s Social Experiment on Diversity (they have been removed for matters of supporting the religious conscious of chaplains, issues affecting the repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”, female/male sexual harassment complaints against their COs, gross failures in command at sea by unqualified female COs, attempts to  rescue Navy SEALs being attacked by Al Q’ieda terrorists in Benghazi, etc.).  The inept order encouraging subordinates to put Flag and General Officers on report is similar to how enlisted members in the Wehrmacht during WWII were encouraged to put Germany’s Flag and General…

 Another Combat Veteran For Congress, Cong Steve Pearce, Capt-USAF (R-NM-2) http://www.peopleforpearce.com, has announced that he is cosponsoring legislation, House Res. 36, to establish a “committee to investigate and report on the attack on the United States Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.”  Please read Cong Pearce’s statement listed below, then please review the below listed appeal from Spec Ops OPSEC, asking all Americans to demand that Congress get the answer to countless important questions, that remain unanswered about the well-coordinated and well planned commando attack by 150+ Al Q’ieda terrorists on the U S Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that resulted in the murder of the US Ambassador, the combat death of 2 heroic Navy SEALS, and the death of an US Embassy employee.  Their repeated desperate requests for help, as they were fighting for their lives, were intentionally and repeatedly ignored by the White House and State Department over an 8 hour period---military help was only 2 hours away.  The Combat Veterans For Congress will continue to demand, without let-up, for answers from the White House and the State Department who have stone walled and covered this up for 6 months; the US Military “never” abandons its brothers-in-arms who are desperately asking for support.  Any member of Congress who doesn’t support the effort to get answers to this cover up should be asked why they support the cover up during their campaigns for re-election and should be defeated in 2014.

 We strongly encourage our national base of supporters to aide in the re-election of Cong Steve Pearce, Capt-USAF (R-NM-2) in the 2014 mid-term election, by either supporting his campaign financially, encouraging voters in his Congressional District that they know,, to vote for him, and/or by working in…

 In the below listed article, in their continued assault on Family Values, the Obama Administration is trying to get the FCC to drop the ban on the F-word and nudity on national TV, even during the early hour when children are watching TV.   The Obama Administration is moving in line with what Marxist and Communists rulers have done in past history to destroy family values, religious beliefs, and modesty in the countries they ruled with an iron fist.  We encourage you to contact your Congressional representatives and ask them to prevent the assault on Family Values, by threatening to drastically cut the FCC’s annual budget.

 In the below listed article, 2 of the 19 endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress, Senator John McCain, Capt-USN, USNA ’58, (R-AZ-Senate) and Senator Mark S. Kirk, Cdr-USNR (R-IL-Senate) joined with 51 other US Senators to vote 53 to 46 in opposition to the U N Small Arms Treaty; the 46 Senators who voted for the UN Small Arms Treaty are listed below, and those standing for re-election in the 2014 mid-term election, in that group of 46, should opposed for their failure to support the 2ndAmendment to the US Constitution. 

 In the 2014 mid-term election, the same type of rampant voter fraud that was perpetrated on America citizens in the 2008 and 2012 national election and coordinated by the Obama Campaign will be perpetrated once again by the same forces to take control of the House of Representatives.  The far left network of radicals organizations that will be coordinated by the Organization For Action the Obama Administration’s new Lobbying Organization will once again join together to take control of the House of Representatives. The organizations that they will work with are the Teachers Union, the AFL/CIO, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the Communist Party USA, the Weather Underground, Democrat Party organizations in 50 states, the Socialist Party USA, the Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCA is the new name for ACORN that is now using  ACORN’s same federal tax ID number), the Democratic Socialists of America, all of George Soros’ funded front organizations, and the Tides Foundation.

 

  The attachment is self-explanatory.  We encourage you to contact your Congressional representatives and strongly encourage them to take action to create a House Select Committee to investigate the well-coordinated and well planned attack by 150+ Al Q'ieda Terrorist on the American Embassy Annex in Benghazi in which the US Ambassador to Libya was present. 

 We strongly encourage you to pass on the attachment to those in your address book who support our efforts to seek the truth of why two Navy SEALS were abandoned for 8 hours, when rescue forces were within 2 hours away, the flagrant intentional abandonment of American personnel led to the death of 4 Americans, including the Ambassador, 2 Navy SEALS, and an Embassy employ at the hands of Al Q'ieda terrorists.
 
 
Subject: The Benghazi attacks on 9/11/ 2012 

The undersigned are a representative group of some 692 retired Military Special Operations professionals who spent the majority of their careers preparing for and executing myriad operations to rescue or recover detained or threatened fellow Americans. In fact, many of us participated in both the Vietnam era POW rescue effort, The Son Tay Raid, as well as Operation Eagle Claw, the failed rescue attempt in April of 1980 in Iran, so we have been at this for many years and have a deep passion for seeking the truth about what happened during the national tragedy in Benghazi.

The purpose of this letter is to encourage all members of the US House of Representatives to support H.Res. 36, which will create a House Select Committee on the Terrorist Attack in Benghazi. It is essential that a full accounting of the events of September 11, 2012, be provided and that the American public be fully informed regarding this egregious terrorist attack on US diplomatic personnel and facilities. We owe that truth to the American people and the families of the fallen.

In the below listed article, the Obama Justice Department reported that new gun laws, will not slow down gun crimes. 

According to the Obama Administration and their allies in Congress, it is neither intelligent nor proper to judge all Muslims because of the acts of a few deranged terrorists. 

Yet the Obama Administration and their allies in Congress, because of the acts of a few deranged gunmen, are judging all law abiding American gun owners, and because of the acts od deranged gunmen, they are introducing legislation to do background checks on Americans in violation of provisions of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution. 

 

Obama issued 23 Executive Orders to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to create a “Federal Background Check System”—Translation: Federal Gun Registration of all LEGAL gun owners. The emphasis is on the word “LEGAL”, since clearly criminals do not ever register their guns, or participate in any background checks related to the guns they illegally possess.  More importantly, it is not the criminals who would take up arms against a tyrannical government, therefore, it is not the criminal element that the Obama Administration is truly concernedabout---it’s the legal law abiding gun owners they are intent on disarming.  

 

To support the Obama Administration’s goals of determining who all the law abiding gun owners are, Senator Patrick Leahy sponsored Senate Bill 443, referred to as the “Forced Gun Owner Registration Act of 2013”.  Provisions in the bill will require background checks on law abiding gun owners and will determine where they have their guns stored; the bill also imposes harsh sentences for minor offenses (up to 15 years in prison).    

 

Members of Congress should insist that if a background checks are required for all law abiding American gun owners, the federal law enforcement agencies should start by finally doing a background check on Barrack Obama; he …

 Susan Rice, the Obama Administrations US Ambassador to the UN, who in 5 TV interviews, boldly and repeatedly misrepresented known facts about 150+, Al Q’ieda terrorists who staged a well-planned and coordinated attack in Benghazi, where 2 Navy SEALS, the Ambassador to Libya, and another US Embassy employee were killed over an 8 hour period while they were left to twist in the wind with no support, is voting yes on the flawed Small Arms Treaty at the UN.   Despite the fact that opponents of the flawed UN Small Arms Treaty gathered the signature of 51 US Senators on a letter to Obama stating that the UN Small Arms Treaty is defective and “had more holes than a leaky bucket”, Obama still abandoned the principles his predecessors stood on, and did an about face on his previous promise to wait for a consensus before the US voted on the treaty; he had Susan Rice rush to ramrod this flawed UN Small Arms Treaty into effect. 

“This abrupt about-face on the long-standing United States requirement for ‘consensus’ illustrates that the Obama Administration wants a sweeping U.N. Small Arms Control Treaty.   The previous two US Administrations refused to vote “yes” on the “same UN Small Arms Treaty” that had been languishing in the UN for over 10 years; their refusal to vote yes, was on the grounds that the UN Small Arms Treaty violates the 2ndAmendment to the US Constitution, violates the sovereignty of the Republic, and that it would impose new and severe regulations on the “transit” of small arms.  More details on this issue can be reviewed in the below listed article.  Please pass this E-mail on to those in your address book who would support our efforts to protect and defend the US Constitution.

 Six important facts about the Second Amendment of the US Constitution are presented in the educational video you can view by clicking on the below listed link. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88RLTqUQ1Tk

 

The Obama Justice Department reported that the new proposed gun laws will not slow down gun crimes at all (that is because criminals and dangerously deranged individuals who committed all the mass murders with guns will not register their guns).  One action that should be taken by Congress, is to pass legislation that requires therapists and hospitals provide the mental health records of dangerous “deranged” individuals to a federal law enforcement data base controlled by the FBI, to ensure that dangerously deranged individuals will never be issued a permit to own a gun or be given permission to purchase a gun at any gun show or gun shop (that does not necessarily mean Wounded Combat Veterans under medical treatment for PTSD).    

 

Not one gun control law being proposed by Obama would have prevented the massacre of innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.  The gun control legislation being proposed by Obama are in violation of the 2nd Amendment and are only designed to determine who the law abiding gun owners are in America and where the guns they own are located.  The type of gun registration being proposed by Obama has always been the first step used by dictators like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Castro in confiscating guns owned by all law abiding gun owners in their countries.   

 
Dear Friend,

 A number of public comments by flag officers seem to have had a politically correct component to them.  Recently comments by General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, raised questions, i.e.  the US military didn’t have enough time to rescue 2 Navy SEALS who were under attack for over 8 hours by 150+ Al Q’ieda terrorists in Benghazi (Special Ops personnel know support was available) , then Gen Dempsey authorized the issue of a new drone operators medal that would have a higher precedent than the Bronze Star and Purple Heart Medals, and he also approved imbedding women in front line tip of the spear combat infantry units that will negatively affect unit cohesion/moral, his comments were followed by  Adm Samuel Locklear, Commander-in-Chief Pacific Command (CINCPAC) statement in the below listed article, that “Climate Change is the Biggest Threat in the Pacific”.  Those surprising comments by two 4 star flag officers seem to be politically correct.  More specifically, CINCPAC’s statement that “Climate Change” is a “bigger” threat than China’s nuclear missile buildup & its nuclear aircraft carrier development, North Korea’s daily bellicose threats that they will attack the US mainland with nuclear tipped missiles, North Korea threatening to tear up the peace treaty with South Korea & go to war, Iran’s nuclear weapon & ICBM missile development, Iran’s threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, Russia’s nuclear armed bombers overflying Guam & Alaska , Russian’s nuclear submarines patrolling Gulf of Mexico adjacent to the southern coast of the US, China’s computer hackers sabotaging Top Secret Pentagon and White House infrastructural networks, and the heated dispute between Japan & China over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands that could erupt into a major conflict.  When a 4 star Admiral asserts that the “Biggest Threat in the Pacific is Climate Change”, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says nothing to mitigated that “…

 In the below listed Press Release, an elected Combat Veteran For Congress, Congressman Jeff J. Denham, SSgt-USAF (R-CA-10) http://www.DenhamForCongress.com introduced two pieces of legislation to eliminate bureaucratic hurdles impeding Veterans’ access to health care and is advocating extending military commissary and exchange privileges to Wounded Combat Veterans and Disabled American Veterans and their families.  At a time when the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, In a legal decision, found the Department of Veterans Affairs in violation of federal law for failing to provide mental health referrals for Combat Veterans suffering from PTSD in a timely manner, in some cases, the back log extends for over 3 years, and an average of 18 Veterans per day commit suicide and never have their request for medical support even looked at.   Congressman Denham is again demonstrating his compassion and deep concern for the welfare of Veterans, especially those suffering with PTSD, because as a Veteran he fully understands and is sympathetic to their plight.  Congressman Denham’s action speaks much louder than the hollow words we often hear from those in Congress who say they support Veterans; Congressman Denham’s measure received wide support from Veterans groups nationally and the 19 elected Combat Veterans For Congress serving in the 113th Congress.

 Congressman Denham demonstrates his strong support for Veterans that all members of Congress should display; unfortunately certain members of Congress have repeatedly demonstrated their lack of support for Veterans and for the Department of Defense.  Most recently by voting for and  passing sequestration, which “Obama created in 2011”, members of Congress saddled the US Armed Forces with an unfair 50% of all cuts in government spending, despite the fact that they are…

The American people should be able be the beneficiaries of the lessons of history; the lesson is that Socialism has failed everywhere it has ever been tried over the last 100 years, but the lesson of history that Socialism has always failed is being covered up by the Democratic Party with the help of left of center liberal media establishment that has been promoting Barrack Hussein Obama Socialist agenda.  The Obama Administration has socialized the health care system (1/6th of the US economy), with the flawed Obama Health Care Law that is dramatically increasing the cost of medical care, the mortgage industry has also been socialized-no one can get a mortgage without government support from Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae, and except for Ford Motor company the US automobile industry has been socialized (their Boards are now controlled by government representatives and Unions).  The Obama Administration has directed the Department of Education to take more government control of the…

 Another Combat Veteran For Congress, Cong James Bridenstine, Lcdr-USNR (R-OK-1) http://jimbridenstine.com/, in defense of the US Constitution, is proposing a method to oppose the flawed Obama Health Care Law with its new hidden taxes (20 new taxes---Remember when we heard “We’ll see what is in it after we pass it.”—Pelosi).  The flawed Obama Health Care Law alone will increase new taxes for all Americans to over $1 trillion dollars over the next 10 years.  There are also new built in penalties in the flawed Obama Health Care Law that will be assessed by the IRS for various reasons, the law also allows the IRS to have access to the private banking accounts of all Americans so it can deduct penalties without the approval of taxpayers, and there is a new oppressive IRS reporting requirement for all taxpayers filing their annual tax returns to determine if they have health insurance. 

 In January 2013 Obama refused to extend the Bush tax cuts on higher income families and by doing so, imposed the second series of new taxes on American taxpayers.  Now Obama is proposing billions of dollars in a third new series of tax increases as a condition for him to modify the negative effects that sequestration will have on the operational readiness of the US military, the retention of combat trained military personnel, and on what the drastic DOD budget cuts will do to the US Armed Forces over the next 10 years.  For the first time in 237 years, the Commander-in Chief is insisting on higher taxes as a condition for him to take necessary action to mitigate sequestration and properly man/arm the US Armed Forces, so they will have the means defend the Republic from all enemies foreign and “domestic”.

 Obama never operated a business of any kind, nor did he have to meet a payroll every 2 weeks like all small businessmen have to do.  Obama doesn’t know the first thing about starting a business, how to financially control a business, and he is not qualified to evaluate the potential for success of a new business entity like a  Venture Capitalist of Commercial Banker do on a daily basis.  Yet we are faced with the fact, in the below listed article,  that Obama wasted $1.063 billion of tax payers’ money by authorizing the formation of 19 Green companies that were not properly evaluated before they were given taxpayer money to burn.  The net result is that 19 Green companies, many of whom were incorporated by donors to Obama’s Presidential campaign, have already filed for bankruptcy; there will be more bankruptcies of Green companies in the future, because another 14 Green companies who received $6.336 in taxpayer money are faltering.  Obama’s ineptness in the evaluation of business startups and finance is readily apparent, and his ineptness economic policies are even more apparent because of his gross mismanagement of the US Economy by following Socialist principals that have “never” worked in any economy in the history of mankind.  

 Recently Obama raged against sequestration, the across the board budget cut he created in August 2011 (sequestration has radically slashing defense spending which is 20% of the annual budget, while hardly nibbling at the fat and waste in the remaining 80% of the bloated annual budget).  Obama got Senator Reid and Congresswoman Pelosi to convince the Republican leadership in Congress to go along with the sequestration he proposed; recently Obama’s raged against Republicans, blaming them for what he said  sequestration, he created, will do (it actually decreased the 7% increase in spending  to 6%---it hardly touched anything in the 80% in the non-defense budget.   Obama did slash the DOD budget radically, which was made to…

 Lesson plans for Texas classrooms, created in a program entitled CSCOPE, now teach young students that the Boston Tea Party staged by American Patriots who dumped heavily taxed tea from England into the Boston Harbor, because of taxation without representation, was an act of terrorism.  The lesson plan is equating the Patriots who were involved in the Boston Tea Party with the terrorists who attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on 9-11.  Not only were the students taught that the Founding Fathers were terrorists, they were told law officials found drugs in Paul Revere’s home, and they were also instructed to draw flags of using symbols from Communist and Socialist countries. 

 Previously the Teachers Union participated in removing important dates in US History from school books, next they approved the removal of information about the Founding Fathers that used to be taught in schools, and then they approved the removal of the in depth study and meaning of the US Constitution and Bill of Right from history school books and the history curriculum (we used to have to memorize the preamble to the US Constitution, I doubt many student even know what the Preamble is).   

 

Now that program called CSCOPE, approved by the Teacher’s Union in Texas, is subverting acts of Patriotism during the Revolution that led the 13 colonies to seek Independence from England, resulting in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.  Labeling American Patriotism as terrorism is Anti-American and should be opposed by city, county, and state elected government lawmakers; they should insist those lies be removed from all classroom curriculums.  Members of the School Boards who permitted those subversive lesson plans to be taught in their local schools should be voted out of office.   It is time to restrict the Teacher’s Union from continuing to approve the rewriting of US History in school books, and to prevent them from approving the indoctrination of students…

 This year the real cuts in spending, brought on by sequestration, will actually be $44 billion in the ”increase” in this year’s $3.8 trillion budget; it will, I repeat, be $44 billion only in the “increase” in spending; it is not in an actual decrease in last year’s spending.   The reason it will be $44 billion and not $85 billion is because it will kick in late in the fiscal year—$44 billion equates to ½ of what the federal government actually borrows every 28 days from lenders like China to cover the out of control spending.   

In fact “half (50%)“of the $44 billion is being taken out of the DOD Budget, even though the Defense Department is only 20% of the annual federal budget, not 50% of the federal budget; that assault on the US Armed Forces was directed by Obama when he created sequestration.  It is truly unconscionable to divide the cuts that way when our US Military is involved in combat in Afghanistan.  Obama’s unfair division in cuts for the US military is resulting in cuts in required training, operational for the US armed Forces, restrictions in deployments, restriction in ships operating at sea and repairs of ships, in the GI Bill benefits, military family medical benefits, retention of trained personnel, and has resulted in firing all teachers of on base schools for the military children. 

The other half of the $44 billion, or $22 billion, is being cut from the 7% “increase” in spending for all the other government agencies; that $22 billion will be spread thru the remaining of 80% of the $3.8 trillion non-defense budget.  The $22 billion cuts from all other government agencies is less than 1% of the 7% “increase” in spending; once again we want to emphasize, that $22 billion is not a cut in last year’s budget, it is just a cut in the 7% increase in this year’s spending.  That very small cut in the increase in spending for all other government agencies, has thrown the Obama Administration into panic, and resulted in the E-mail Obama…

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) did a brilliant thing in his filibuster of Obama’s appointment of John Brennan to head the CIA.  The filibuster was staged in order to bring attention to the fact that Obama feels he has the authority to employ drone strikes in the United States to kill American Citizens without first charging, arresting, indicting, and trying the American citizen.  No other US President has ever felt they had the authority to use air strikes in the United States to kill Americans without warning, without first arresting them and without providing them with the due process accorded all US Citizens by the US Constitution. 
By keeping the filibuster going through prime time, Senator Paul forced ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and the left of center liberal media establishment—the chief sources of news for low information voters — to cover the issue.
During his filibuster, Senator Paul had the support from other senators to provide him with the time to rest his voice. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) came down to the well of the Senate for a few hours to give Senator Paul a break by reading tweets in support of Senator Paul. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) came in to provide support as well. Senator Mark Kirk, Cdr-USNR (R-IL), an elected Combat Veteran For Congress, who returned to the Senate after recovering from a very bad stroke, also went down to the well of the Senate to support Senator Paul.  Even Democratic Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) joined in the filibuster.    
While the Filibuster continued thru the early evening, Senator John McCain, Capt –USN, USNA ’58 (R-AZ), an…

In the below listed article, Americans honor former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, the heroes of Benghazi, for their long distinguished service as US Navy SEALS, for saving 30 American lives in Benghazi, and for their valor while giving the last full measure of devotion to the Republic.  Kindly pass this on to those in your address book who would also honor them.


From the Gettysburg Times, Monday, February 25, 2013:

A NOBLE SACRIFICE

Posted: Monday, February 25, 2013 12:05am - Updated: 7:10am, Mon Feb 25, 2013.
BY Dick Watson Times Staff Writer 

A few months ago, on the 11th anniversary of the 2001 attack against the U.S., terrorists attacked the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.  Four Americans were killed: Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and private security detail members Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, both former Navy Seals whose sacrifice enabled 30 consulate members to get back home to their families.

Woods and Doherty were honored Saturday afternoon at a private Valor & Honor Ceremony at the Lodges of Gettysbury atop Gloryridge, a hill overlooking the Gettysburg battlefield.

The event was sponsored primarily by Sean Cassidy, the owner of the Lodges at Gettysburg, and NSW Kids, a nonprofit supporting children of the Naval Special Warfare community.

A number of corporate sponsors also attended the ceremony, as did Woods and Doherty family members and friends, some of the Benghazi consulate staff, as well as 50 active Navy Seals representing members of eight Seal teams.

The ceremony included the dedication, in Woods and Doherty's names, of a 40-foot flag pole; the participation of an honor guard led by Col. Mickey Helms, commander of the Longstreet Corps; a 21-gun salute directed by Brig. Gen. K.C. Meadows, commander of the Longstreet Corps; a "Freedom" Shot directed by the Hon. John Douglass,…

 Using military officer in “full dress uniforms” to be background props” for the announcement of the Best Picture for the Academy Awards is a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).  The American people should be able to watch entertainment without heavy politics; no other US President has ever used military officers in full dress uniforms as props in the 85 year history of the Academy Awards. 

Statist propaganda: Michelle Obama slammed for using military as ‘props’ during Oscars appearance

First lady Michelle Obama is under fire after she appeared as a long-distance award presenter on the Oscars Sunday evening, flanked by active-duty American service members.

The well-dressed members of the military stood attentively behind the first lady inside the White House as she presented the award for best picture to the movie “Argo.”

But the use of those service members has left some of her critics fuming.

 “Common sense is not so common.”   Dr. Carson employs intelligent logic to evaluate issues simply, and has the talent to communicate his logic.  In the below listed link, he is able to connect across partisan lines because he focuses on “educating/encouraging” people to think for themselves.  The foundation upon which the Republic was created was for individuals to have freedom of thought and expression, the Founding Fathers encouraged citizens to employ independent logic in evaluating issues with balance and reason.  It is unfortunate that the 535 members of Congress do not have Dr. Carson’s ability to use reasoned logic to evaluate issues and come up with solutions to a relatively simple problem that is bankrupting the Republic----just stop the out of control spending.

In addition, Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution was carefully drawn up by the Founding Fathers to give Congress, not the President, certain powers over the structure and use of the US Armed Forces. The Congress has the power to prevent Obama relentless changes in structure of the US Armed Forces from destroying the most effective military combat force in the history of mankind.  Obama’s Social Experiment on Diversity, his new oppressive military regulations that are negatively affecting moral, his new rules of engagement in combat that are creating too many casualties on the battlefield, his order to put women in front line infantry combat units that is negatively affecting unit cohesion, and all his policies are seriously degrading Combat Effectiveness.  Please click on the below listed link to view an interview with Dr. Benjamin Carson.

 We continue in our sworn oath to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the sixth article in a series of articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.  We now know after watching Sean Hannity’s February 18th  interview of Professor John Lott, the author of “At the Brink”, who was on the faculty at the University of Chicago with Obama, that Obama actually told him that he didn’t believe “any American” should be allowed to own guns “at all”; every American you know should be alerted to Obama’s true goal, which is not to just restrict gun ownership—his current initiative to restrict gun ownership is his first step in his plan to confiscate all guns from law abiding Citizens in the Republic.  The restriction of gun ownership is a violation of the 2ndAmendment.  The only way the 2nd Amendment can be changed or modified is by taking the legal action outlined in the US Constitution.  The US Constitution provides that an Amendment may only be proposed either by the Congress with two-thirds majority vote in the House of Representatives and two-thirds majority vote of the US Senate, or by a Constitutional Convention called by two-thirds of the State Legislatures. The President does not have a Constitutional role in the amendment process, and the Joint Resolution of Congress to amend the US Constitution does not go to the White House for the President’s signature.        .
