Nugent Ousted from Fort Knox Concert Line-Up ......

Speech Police win AGAIN because WE LET THEM.

Ted Nugent has been booted from the line-up at an annual Fort Knox summer concert following his recent comments about President Barack Obama, a Fort Knox representative confirmed to The Blaze.

The decision to oust Nugent came after “recent disparaging remarks made against the commander in chief,” Ryan Brus of the Fort Knox public affairs office said.

Because the concert is taking place on a military installation, it “would be a conflict of interest since the military has the obligation to be apolitical,” he said.

Climate Alarmist Calls For Burning Down Skeptics’ Homes ........

Will you hear ANY outrage about this rant? ANY from the main stream media? No...you will hear crickets chirping. But Mitt Romney leaves his dog in a kennel on his car roof 100 years ago..and it's headlines.

Writing for Forbes Magazine, climate change alarmist Steve Zwick calls for skeptics of man-made global warming to be tracked, hunted down and have their homes burned to the ground, yet another shocking illustration of how eco-fascism is rife within the environmentalist lobby.

Weekly Jobless Claims Hit Higher Level Than Expected ....

New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits fell less than expected last week, according to a government report on Thursday that could dampen hopes of a pick-up in job creation in April after March's slowdown.

Sons of Liberty Then and Now ......

"Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions -- The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us. ... Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and shew the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth." --George Washington, 1776

Food Deserts and Obesity Role Challenged ......

Within a couple of miles of almost any urban neighborhood, “you can get basically any type of food,” said Roland Sturm of the RAND Corporation, lead author of one of the studies. “Maybe we should call it a food swamp rather than a desert,” he said.

DOE’s Vehicle Fleet Roughly The Size of Its 15,000 Staff, Inspector General Calls The $60M it Spends Annually on Travel a ‘Paltry Amount’ ......

This is what they think of you....of us....

During a hearing before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee Wednesday, Department of Energy Inspector General Greg Friedman told Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) that compared to amount of money spent by DOE contractors, the $60 million the department spends annually on travel is a “paltry sum.”

A “paltry sum”?

Half-Billion in Hollywood Corporate Welfare Passes In Sacramento

The bill before California legislators would extend the program of $100 million in annual tax incentives for five years, to deter runaway production through 2020.

A five-year extension to the state of California’s tax incentive program to keep movie and TV production in the state unanimously passed the state Assembly Arts and Entertainment Committee on Tuesday morning.

The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes and others, is meant to provide stability to the program which grants $100 million a year in tax credits to qualifying movies, TV shows and TV commercials shot in California. Under the current law the last incentives would be awarded in July 2013.

The Right to Bear Arms is a Human Right....

The Small Arms Treaty and the U.N.’s project on International Small Arms Control Standards seek to impose global restrictions on gun ownership that would apply to Americans and the citizens of every country that ratified the agreements. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has pledged to support the treaty, an excuse for governments everywhere to empower themselves and limit their citizens instead of the other way around.

The real GSA scandal: Job-killing big labor payoffs ....

The arrogance of these civil servants is, of course, jaw-dropping. Regional Commissioner Jeff Neely, the Paris Hilton of GSA party animals, wrote in an invitation to personal friends: "We'll get you guys a room near us, and we'll pick up the room tab. ... I know I'm bad, but as Deb and I often say, why not enjoy it while we have it and while we can. Ain't gonna last forever."

Your ongoing Obama green energy disaster of the day: Fisker Automotive ......

Another GREEN success.....oh....wait.....another GREEN disaster story. 
Keep picking the "Winners"...while the rest of us who HAVE a product people want struggle day after day to survive!

While we enjoy our latest Two Minutes Hate against oil speculators, here’s a little lesson in the interconnectedness of Obama’s disastrous “green energy” investments:

One of the big recent “green energy” epic failures is A123 Systems, which raked in $300 million from the “stimulus” bill, plus another $135 million in Michigan state funding. They’re currently teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, and just got slapped with a class-action lawsuit for allegedly “making false and misleading statements” about manufacturing deficiencies in their products.

Get Ready For Media Matters-Led Assault on the NRA...here we go!

Today, the Media Matters blog has decided to take on the National Rifle Association. A post by Alexander Zaitchik recounts his experiences on a bus on the way to the NRA’s annual convention in St. Louis. “The hotel minibus had barely left the airport when the guy to my left dropped the Obama assassination joke,” Zaitchik writes. “Parents who want to shield their children from presidential assassination jokes should consider vacation destinations other than NRA conventions.”

Negroes with guns .....

Whether you like her or not - this is one of her BEST. 
I honestly did not know much of what she wrote here. Last night I did some homework and my head is splitting from all I found. 
I'm 58 years old and I didn't get much of this in my studies back in the day in Public School. History was dates without meaning. If we weren't getting the facts back then...what aren't they getting NOW?
It wasn't til my Father - an amateur armchair historian - breathed life into the Civil War for me during my college years that I began to read and study on my own. 
What we don't know is breathtaking....what they don't teach is horrifying...
We MUST take back our country. We must take back our educational system.

Liberals have leapt on the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida to push for the repeal of "stand your ground" laws and to demand tighter gun control. (MSNBC'S Karen Finney blamed "the same people who stymied gun regulation at every point.")

This would be like demanding more funding for the General Services Administration after seeing how its employees blew taxpayer money on a party weekend in Las Vegas.

Obama Lawyer Admits In Court Birth Certificate On White House Website Is A Forgery ......

I had this days ago...but asked our folks to check on the voracity before posting. Seems like the story is becoming a "Not Found" link on several Google sites. It does give you pause.....

  Normally, I have stayed away from commenting on the controversy surrounding President Obama’s eligibility or the legitimacy of his long form birth certificate posted on the White House website; however, because this is now a matter of court record and has been captured on court house video as well, I feel compelled to present the information as yet more evidence of the massive corruption in our country’s government. I also feel compelled to post this because the mainstream media has made it pretty clear it isn’t going to – because this happened 4 days ago and I have yet to see it even mentioned.

Person of the People - Elizabeth Warren's "Granny’s" Mansion....

Good for her.....she's successful......but DO NOT try to ram your "Person of the People" rhetoric and utter hypocrisy down our throat.....
"Don't mention my mansion"....PLEASE! 
If I had it I would shout from the mountaintops! Look at me! I made it! This country gave me the opportunity and DAMN if I didn't make it!

Last year, U.S. Senate candidate Granny Warren agreed to be interviewed by New York magazine in her posh la-de-da Cambridge digs — but only if the magazine agreed not to mention anything about the lavishly-appointed palace.

Obama War on Working Women Began With Palin....

Why didn’t Obama keep his word? Perhaps it is because Gutman, a former registered lobbyist and big time trial lawyer, made it rain for the Democrats. According to OpenSecrets.org, Gutman and his wife, Michelle Loewinger, have contributed at least $86,150 to the Democratic Party since 1989. Gutman personally bundled at least half a million for Obama’s campaign committee and $270,000 more for his inaugural committee.

Obama Blames GSA Scandal On Bush – But For The GSA There’s Much More

Mr. "No Excuses" is at it again.....I heard someone the other day say we should take the Staples "Easy" button and put the name "Bush" on it and send them to the Administration....I don't think they could take the wear & tear of the Excuse Administration's daily run for cover....

President Barack Hussein Obama and his administration’s response to a General Services Administration (GSA) scandal over spending over $800,000 on a conference in Las Vegas, NV, in 2010, is to blame former president George Walker Bush. The Obama administration is responding to the recent report that shows a federal agency spent lavishly on a conference by trying to shift some of the blame to the Bush administration. Where have we heard that excuse before? It seems that Obama blames Bush (or somebody or something) for anything that doesn’t cast him in a favorable light.

Bibi, Peres invoke Iran threat during Yom Hashoah ceremony....

"I believe in our ability to defend ourselves," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during the ceremony. "People who dismiss the Iranian threat as a whim or an exaggeration have learned nothing from the Holocaust. To cower from speaking the uncomfortable truth – that today like then, there are those who want to destroy millions of Jewish people – that is to belittle the Holocaust, that is to offend its victims and that is to ignore the lessons."

How The MSM Covered Up Fast and Furious....and continues too.....

Going out to purchase Katie Pavlich's new book about Fast & Furious today. Bill O'Reilly doesn't think this debacle will get any traction. It won't unless WE give it the traction it needs. Pass this on and on and on!!!!

When the Obama administration saw Attkinson’s report, they reacted with utter fury. Officials from the administration screamed at her; as Pavlich reports, Justice Department communications director Tracy Schmaler called her up to yell at her. White House spokesman Eric Schultz “reportedly directed a barrage of expletives toward her.” Attkinson said that the White House and Justice Department labeled her “not reasonable” – as opposed to other press outlets.

Ted Nugent fires back at Secret Service probe...

Again...I - WE - always want our Secret Service vigilant to the extreme in protecting our President...
However..if this is so...then why hasn't there been a public scrutiny of Farrakhan saying  "People will kill their leaders in a couple of days" or the Black Panthers conference call - espousing "Blood in the Streets...do you feel me?"...
Apparently...the only thing our Administration "Feels" is political opportunity. 
Protect our President - from ALL who threaten violence. 
Protect our President.....not for political gain...but to protect the leader of the Free World, whether you agree with him or not.

Rock legend Ted Nugent is firing back at reports the U.S. Secret Service is targeting him for a harshly critical speech of the Obama administration he delivered at the National Rifle Association over the weekend.

The longtime advocate for gun rights compared President Obama and the Democrats to an unwanted animal visiting someone’s home.

Mandatory ‘Big Brother’ Black Boxes In All New Cars From 2015.......

Every day more and more of our RIGHTS as individuals under the Constitution are just evaporating!

Although the text of legislation states that such data would remain the property of the owner of the vehicle, the government would have the power to access it in a number of circumstances, including by court order, if the owner consents to make it available, and pursuant to an investigation or inspection conducted by the Secretary of Transportation.

Given the innumerable examples of both government and industry illegally using supposedly privacy-protected information to spy on individuals, this represents the slippery slope to total Big Brother surveillance of every American’s transport habits and location data.

NY law would identify buildings with smokers....

What would be "next" if this is allowed...?...what other "behavior" would Bloomberg find "offensive" enough to be identified? Sounds strikingly similar to a certain country just before WWII... 

 New York apartment buildings that permit smoking would be identified under a new law proposed Wednesday by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Landlords of buildings with three or more units would have to inform prospective tenants and purchasers whether smoking was allowed in apartments and on balconies, as well as in common outdoor areas like rooftops.

Bloomberg said this would give potential renters the chance to choose a smoke-free environment, free from wafts of cigarette smoke from other apartments.

Nugent says he'll meet with Secret Service over Obama remarks .......

I have no problem with them talking to Ted or anyone and clarifying intent...however....when did they go interview Louis Farrakhan and The Black Panthers for their "inflammatory" remarks over the past few weeks...???? Hummmmmmm????

Rocker Ted Nugent said Wednesday he is scheduled to talk with the Secret Service following controversial remarks he made about President Obama and his administration.

The 63-year-old Nugent, who recently endorsed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, said during a recent National Rifle Association convention that the administration was "vile," "evil" and "America-hating."

He also said that if Obama is re-elected, “I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."

Appeals court upholds Arizona's voter ID requirement ....awesome! Now...the REST of the US!

An appeals court upheld a requirement in a 2004 Arizona law that voters show identification before they can cast ballots, saying that there wasn't evidence that the mandate disparately affected Latinos as the challengers had alleged.

A 12-member panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said in a ruling Tuesday that there was evidence Arizona has racially polarized voting and a history of discrimination against Latinos, but concluded that no proof was offered to show that the ID requirement gave Latinos fewer opportunities to vote.

Joe Kennedy the 3rd wants US to pay MORE.......

I have tried to put a solar panel on my Jeep to run the thing....no luck...
I then went down to t he beach and shoved algae into the gas tank......uh....no luck...a few star fish...no energy...
Someone who is a Trust Fund baby ...( I think that is fine! ) is trying to tell me after working an average of 70-80 hours a week and not getting paid....to pay "more"....
Tell ya what - why don't you take all the damn Kennedy HOT AIR - truly an never ending viable alternative energy source - and use THAT as fuel?! I bet it would light the Northeast for years........... you guys LOVE to hear yourselves pontificate to the great unwashed.....

As gas prices continue to soar around the country, Joe Kennedy III, the Democratic candidate for Rep. Barney Frank’s seat, wrote an online letter to supporters calling for an end to “cheap oil.”

“Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama — they’ve all talked about the same thing: the need to wean ourselves off our debilitating dependence on foreign oil,” Kennedy wrote.

“The cycle that allows cheap oil to trump tough choices has to stop,” he continued. “Forty years is enough.”

Did Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson and Warren Buffett Help Obama Kill Keystone Pipeline to Benefit Burlington Northern Railroad?.....

The move has also stirred controversy about the president’s real intentions concerning job creation and reducing pain at the pump for everyday Americans. But could there be a more sinister reason behind denying the pipeline’s requisite permits — namely, to benefit billionaire Obama-supporter Warren Buffett?

The evidence does seem to be mounting.

White House denies 'deal' on Panetta's commute.....

Of course they "deny" it....and ALL the Moon-bats will buy it......

Contradicting an account by a Pentagon official, the White House is denying that President Obama struck a “deal” with Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta to allow him to commute home to California most weekends on a military aircraft at a cost of $32,000 per round-trip flight and a total of $860,000 as of early April.

District fires workers in unemployment benefits probe ......

And...they want us to give them MORE money to "you know what" away......

The checks ranged from a few hundred dollars to more than $20,000 per employee since 2009 — or about $800,000 in all — according to city officials. The city suspended 92 employees, among them the 61 who have been recently terminated.

Panetta says he regrets cost of trips home ......bet he does....

$32000.00 a trip to "get your mind straight"....
Most of us out here have to do that at $4.00 per gallon in our cars. 
Most of us business owners have to do that in the same gas line....IF there is enough left over at weeks end to get paid with. 
But we taxpayers...you know...the "ATM of America "....get to foot this bill...one he "regrets"...doesn't plan on repaying...but regrets....thanks....Leon....means alot. 
Just knowing I don't think I can make payroll this week after working 80 hours...but knowing you'll "try" and find savings so it won't cost THAT much makes me feels loads better....

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday he regrets the cost to taxpayers for his weekend trips to his Carmel Valley home, but says it's important "just to get your mind straight and your perspective straight."

Panetta said he'd try to find some savings, with each round trip costing approximately $32,000.

Obama’s Oil Ploy .....

Good Read. Nice explanation of speculation....

As gasoline prices have soared to $4 a gallon, putting a pinch on consumers’ wallets and President Obama’s approval ratings, the president has been casting about for a convenient scapegoat. He’s found one in oil market speculators, whom he charges with driving up the price of crude oil and gasoline.

Blackhawks Circle Low Through Chicago Skies as Secret Service Releases Security Details

I want ALL our Leaders protected. "Spare no expense" to quote Jurassic Park. But this type of "demonstration" seems to happen alot more often lately.....

Blackhawks and A/MH-6 Little Bird helicopters used by special forces circling low through downtown Chicago skies made for a scary scene along the Chicago River, as they rattled windows flying among the city's skyscrapers.

The training exercise comes as the city found out some of the details of what the Secret Service wants for security at next month's summit at McCormick Place.

Warren gets 'big hug' at Lowell Cambodian festival .....ACK!

Cambodian-Americans....Irish-Americans.....African-Americans....STOP! 
We are ALL American's....period! 
My ancestors came over here from Ireland. That's IT. I have NOTHING in common with them other than history. 
Mine is American - theirs is Irish. 
STOP the separating. 
What about ALL students that are having tuition problems? How about all those folks on the College payrolls ( re: Elizabeth Warren ) for $300/M upwards...for.....for what? I hear crickets chirping! She doesn't stop taking her salary to help lower tuition....does she???? And they listen to her over this?!

Among the middle- to lower-income folks who Warren claims she can better represent than Brown include college students. The lengthiest conversation she held with attendees of the Cambodian Town festival was with a group of Cambodian-American college students who told her of their struggles to pay tuition.

DC Hockey Fans Taunt Tea Party Goalie With Images of Obama .....

Remember when the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup and President Barack Obama invited them to the White House?

No?

Well, okay, how about this: do you remember when Glenn Beck fan and Bruins goalie Tim Thomas turned down the White House invite in protest of big government?

I bet you do.

Rumors Of Free Stimulus Money Has People Lining Up Again......

Obama's "Stash".....

Responding to a local rumor, people are standing in line for hours, turning over valuable personal information and expecting to receive a government handout in New York City. If this sounds familiar, it is. Back in the fall of 2009, thousands of people stood in line in Michigan expecting to be given some Obama money. It never arrived.

Michigan government unleashes armed raids on small pig farmers, forces farmer to shoot all his own pigs

This is almost happening daily somewhere in our country.....this is getting NUTS!

NaturalNews can now confirm that the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has, in total violation of the Fourth Amendment, conducted two armed raids on pig farmers in that state, one in Kalkaska County at Fife Lake and another in Cheboygan County. Staging raids involving six vehicles and ten armed men, DNA conducted unconstitutional, illegal and arguably criminal armed raids on these two farms with the intent of shooting all the farmers' pigs under a bizarre new "Invasive Species Order" (ISO) that has suddenly declared traditional livestock to be an invasive species.

Eric Holder & Fast and Furious ....

Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash added his name to the chorus of legislators demanding Attorney General Eric Holder resign over Operation Fast and Furious.

A spokesman for Amash, a first term congressman on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, informed The Daily Caller of the congressman’s position over the weekend.

Schoolhouse rocked: Bobby Jindal brings real education reform to Louisiana......

This is so common sense and so OVERDUE! Now let it spread across the land! Bring back American excellence!

The laws passed by the Louisiana legislature last week read like a conservative education reformer’s wish list. Teacher tenure, which previously required three years of employment, will now be contingent on educators receiving a “highly effective” rating in five out of six consecutive years. Back-to-back “ineffective” ratings will be a firing offense. Seniority will no longer be a dominant factor in layoff decisions. Decisions about teacher employment and pay will largely devolve to principals and superintendents (they had previously been dominated by local school boards), allowing them to act with the dispatch becoming of an executive.

The tax-code mess ......

The total quantity of federal tax rules is gigantic. Tax publisher CCH collects all the paperwork in one volume, and it currently spans 73,608 pages and covers nine feet of shelf space. That is more than triple the volume of tax rules as recently as the 1970s, as shown in the chart.

Civilization in Reverse.....

The United States should pay heed to the modern Greek Cassandra, since our own rendezvous with reality is rapidly approaching. The costs of servicing a growing national debt of more than $15 trillion are starting to squeeze out other budget expenditures. Americans are no longer affluent enough to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars to import oil, while we snub our noses at vast new oil and gas finds beneath our own soil and seas.

Stephanopoulos Agrees 92% Women Job Losses Statistic ‘Accurate’ After ABC’s World News Called It ‘Mostly False’ .....

Geithner was also confronted with Romney’s job loss number on Meet the Press and Face the Nation. NBC’s David Gregory did not challenge him when Geithner dismissed it as “ridiculous,” but CBS’s Bob Schieffer did at least follow up: “Basically, you’re saying that is right, that most of the jobs that have been lost recently have been lost by women?”

IRS Travel Ban: Revoking Citizenship By Stealth......

 I cannot IMAGINE the SCREAMS if GWB slipped this in...and it comes from HARRY REID...not Bush...
Not the "Former" Administration....more stealth erosion of our rights by the OBAMA Administration. 
Pass this on! They keep circumventing the law....making it their own. 
If we don't stop this now, pretty soon we won't be able to.....

Efforts to pass a bill that would allow the IRS to deny travel rights to U.S. citizens who the feds merely claim owe $50,000 or more in delinquent taxes represents a de facto move to revoke the citizenship of Americans without due process and in complete violation of the Constitution.

Quadruple amputee undergoes surgery after Afghanistan blast.....

Say a prayer and show your support....that they are NOT forgotten....

 Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills, of Vassar, Mich., was injured when he stepped on an IED April 10 while serving with the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. He is recuperating at a hospital in Germany and hopes to return stateside on Tuesday, three days after his 25th birthday, his father told FoxNews.com.

BrightSource Energy Cancels IPO AFter Getting Loan Guarantee ......

Again....and again....and again......

Last week, BrightSource Energy, a “green” energy company, canceled its initial public offering (IPO), admitting that there is no market for its stock. Of course, this sort of failure probably wasn’t what the Department of Energy (DOE) had in mind back when it decided to award BrightSource a $1.6 billion loan guarantee for its Ivanpah plant in California.

Glenn Beck to NRA Convention Meeting on Obama‘s ’Yes We Can’: ‘What a Bunch of Crap That Is’ ....

Amen...........

“Barack Obama‘s winning slogan was ’Yes we can.‘ That’s the dumbest damn slogan I’ve ever heard,” Beck said. “Don’t tell me what you can do. Will you do it? Will you do it? ‘Yes we can.’ What a bunch of crap that is.”

Moving to a chalk board on the stage, he wrote the words “Yes I will.”

Bill Maher on ‘Rosengate’: She Meant to Say Ann Romney Has ‘Never Gotten Her Ass Out of the House to Work’ .....

As the imaginary "War on Woman" that the Left made up...it too is a "Stupid, non-consequential meaningless controversy" ....can't cherry pick Bill......

First calling the flap the latest in “stupid, non-consequential meaningless controversies” to engulf the presidential campaign, Maher said Rosen’s word choice was “perhaps inartful.”

Occupy-Linked Radicals Smash Windows at NYC Business in Chilling Display of Violent ‘Black Bloc’ Tactics ......

Just keep ramping up the division.....and this is what happens...

Two people were arrested in New York City Saturday night after protesters, some with possible Occupy Wall Street connections, vandalized storefronts in what was described as “black bloc” tactics, the New York Times reported. Gothamist reports that a long-time Occupy organizer was one of those arrested for attacking a NYPD officer with a metal pipe:

China’s mysterious Internet outage; speculation over a ‘kill switch’ .....

Coming soon to a computer near you....if we let it.....

Others have suggested that the temporary outage might have been a test run of an emergency ‘kill switch’, in case extreme measures need to be taken in the ongoing crackdown of the Chinese Internet.

According to Tech in Asia, VPNs that had previously allowed Internet users to get around the Great Firewall were down, but that smaller VPN providers seemed to be unscathed. This could suggest a deliberate targeting of such services, but at the moment, we can only speculate.

Web freedom faces greatest threat ever, warns Google's Sergey Brin .....

I agree with him, however I find GOOGLE scary also.....

 The principles of openness and universal access that underpinned the creation of the internet three decades ago are under greater threat than ever, according to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

In an interview with the Guardian, Brin warned there were "very powerful forces that have lined up against the open internet on all sides and around the world". "I am more worried than I have been in the past," he said. "It's scary."

Obama in Colombia: ‘Part of My Job Is to Scout Out Where I May Want to Bring Michelle Back Later for Vacation’ ......

Just two days after President Barack Obama gave a sharply edged response to news anchor Larry Conners of KMOV in St. Louis after Conners had asked the president about Americans who “get frustrated and even angered when they see the first family jetting around [to] different vacations and so forth,” Obama told a panel at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia that part of his job there was to scout out locations for a future vacation with First Lady Michelle Obama
