Some surprise, Team Obama planned meet with 3 Veterans (actually, campaign volunteers) at diner in "surprise" stop ....

On Tuesday morning, all three met with a staffer and were driven to the restaurant and arrived shortly before Obama. The three said the restaurant workers and other patrons received notice only a few minutes before the president arrived.

Busted… Team O Plants 3 “Surprised” Veterans at Out-of-the-Way Diner to Speak With Obama – Then Releases Their Bios ......

Is there ANYTHING genuine about this man...this Administration....ANYTHING.....????

But then the truth eked its way out—-
The three veterans were not regulars.
They just happened to be sitting in a booth at the diner when Obama popped in.
Victoria Taft has more, via Orbusmax:

“No, they were not regulars.” The waitress who served President Obama, Mary, told me the veterans with whom the President discussed “health care” were not regulars. “Well, maybe one of the guys came in here before…”

In fact, the Obama Campaign even had a copy of their bios on hand.
And, one of the veterans just happens to be an Obama for America volunteer!

Obama calls for measures against gun violence.....

Progressives are pushing Mr. Obama, who campaigned four years ago on a platform of stricter gun control, to speak out on the subject and use the tragedy to impose stricter gun regulations. But the White House has been saying since the shooting last week that Mr. Obama has no plans to seek new gun legislation.

Obama: ‘We Tried Our Plan, And It Worked.’ .....

Forty-one straight months of unemployment above 8 percent, 8.2 million people working part-time who want full-time work, a record 88 million Americans not in the labor force, 1.9 percent GDP growth in the past quarter, more bad GDP numbers expected tomorrow, a stagnant housing market, $5 trillion in new debt, the downgrading of the U.S. credit rating, 38 percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, 45 million Americans on food stamps, food prices continuing to increase dramatically, the poverty level likely to rise to the highest level in nearly fifty years…

… and this means the plan “worked”?!?

Emanuel goes after Chick-fil-A for boss’ anti-gay views ......

This is so rich. 
Rahm goes against a Co. that has yet to be proven to discriminate in ANYWAY - they are just expressing THEIR god-given religious views in a supposed FREE country....but he welcomes Louis Farrakahn....

The anti-gay views openly espoused by the president of a fast food chain specializing in chicken sandwiches have run afoul of Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a local alderman, who are determined to block Chick-fil-A from expanding in Chicago.

‘Auschwitz-Like Conditions’: U.S. General Accused of Massive Afghan Cover-Up to Protect Obama During Election Year ....

I hear crickets chirping...the same ones that always chirp when it's a negative story against Obama....
Now...picture, if you will...this was George W. Bush......can you IMAGINE the howling?!

Two retired colonels who worked with the training command also told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that Caldwell did not want an investigation of the Dawood National Military Hospital, and one described the building as having “Auschwitz-like conditions.”

U.S. taxpayers spent more than $150 million on the hospital in just 18 months, according to CNN

Drug money funds voter fraud in Kentucky......

Voter fraud has a shocking new meaning in eastern Kentucky.

That is where in some cases, major cocaine and marijuana dealers admitted to buying votes to steal elections, and the result is the corruption of American democracy. The government continues to mete out justice in the scandal, as two people convicted in April in a vote-buying case face sentencing this week, and another public official pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiracy.

Obama's Regulation Con....

It conveys the impression that he is aware that it has been estimated that regulations drain 1.75 trillion out of the U.S. economy yearly. In other words it conveys the impression that he understands that well intentioned regulations, which often come spewing out government agencies after the latest crisis from oil spills to banking disasters, come at a cost and that he is no regulator-in-chief. That is the impression that the claim is meant to make.

The reverse is the case.

Blog: Mass Murder A Modern Curse? Hardly....

However, one doesn't have to look very hard to find many historical examples. It took only about a half hour to find the following. And, to keep things on a relative apples-to-apples basis, this shows civilian on civilian cases only. It excludes examples perpetrated by soldiers, police or other government authorized actions or civil wars. Only events prior to 1970 are listed; many more examples could be added to the list.

House GOP Leaders Indicate They Will Fund Implementation of Obamacare ....

I'm am so tired of "leaders" in name only....paper tigers.....ALL OF THEM!

When asked whether the House Republicans would permit or not permit funding for Obamacare in whatever legislation is enacted to fund the government after Sept. 30--when the current funding legislation runs out--House Speaker John Boehner responded that "our goal would be to make sure the government is funded," thus indicating that House Republicans do plan to fund implementation of Obamacare past Sept. 30.

Obamacare Leaves As Many Uninsured As It Covers....

And we are surprised....?.....that a government program WON'T do what it's supposed to or purported to...and will COST MORE than projected...I think this is a standing headline!

Yesterday the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) dealt another blow with its updated outlook on the health care law, as it attempted to integrate the Supreme Court’s ruling into its projections.

Although Obamacare spends more than $1 trillion to get people covered, CBO predicts it will still leave 30 million Americans uninsured, falling far short of what was promised.

Marine Corps Law Enforcement on the Way?....


United States Marine Corps has reportedly established a first-of-its-kind Law Enforcement Battalion. The specialized force of military police officers are intended to be quickly deploy worldwide to help investigate crimes from terrorism to drug trafficking and train fledgling security forces in allied nations.

Bill O’Reilly Calls for New Gun Law in Interview with Jason Chaffetz | Video | TheBlaze.com

O'Reilly is wrong.....and where is his "smaller government" stance here?! This isn't "anti-Terrorism"....the "bad Guys" can buy ANYTHING they want. Money talks....it's us law abiding citizens that'll get caught in - shall I say it - the cross-hairs of any new pile on regulation.

The two continued to argue and O’Reilly even began raising his voice with the congressman. And after Chaffetz wasn’t swayed, O’Reilly retorted:

“If the FBI is alerted that somebody is buying 60,000 heavy-duty rounds, they’re going to check it out, because that’s what anti-terrorism is! That’s what they do!… You’re telling me you object to this? This doesn’t intrude on any hunter, anybody with a handgun to protect themself, anybody with a rifle, this is an AK! Come on!”

Chaffetz disagreed: “Absolutely it is.” He even later accused O’Reilly as being “misinformed” about the laws.

NASA Alludes to ‘Unprecedented’ Greenland Ice Sheet Melt Having Some Natural Origin ....

Although some of these descriptions aren’t entirely untrue, even within NASA’s own announcement of this observation, a Goddard Space Flight Center scientist said these types of melting events occur every 150 years, on average.

With the last event happening in 1889, Lora Koening said “this event is right on time.”

She does note that if strong melting events like this continue in future years, “it will be worrisome.”

Gun sales surging in wake of 'Dark Knight Rises' shooting ......

Firearms sales are surging in the wake of the Colorado movie theater massacre as buyers express fears that anti-gun politicians may use the shootings to seek new restrictions on owning weapons.

DOD will unveil website to combat Stolen Valor this week ......

An administration official said that record keepers from each military branch have been compiling awards records since the Supreme Court last month struck down the federal Stolen Valor Act, arguing that the punishments for those lying about military medals infringed on free speech.

Christie rips Bloomberg over anti-gun sentiments - NYPOST.com

Amen to Christie...however a little late. I saw this being used as a political football within hours of the event...espeacially by Move On.org.
People ask if I have ever boycotted anything due to political beliefs....
Unfortunately yes....New York - because of Bloomberg. 
And...I was born there.......

Earlier in the day, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie snidely suggested that Hizzoner has been using the victims of the Colorado movie massacre as “political pawns.”

“Can we at least get through the initial grief and tragedy for these families before we start making them political pawns?” said Christie, whose name has been floated as a possible veep candidate for one of Bloomberg’s targets, GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

The anti-Occupy message of Batman ....

Every warning bell uttered in the past few years about the "Coming Storm" are here....it is a GREAT movie...a GREAT message...and...yes, damn fun!

In this way, viewers see a familiar story unfold — one that is reminiscent of communist and fascist revolutions in Russia, Germany, Cambodia, and North Korea. No matter how legitimate criticisms of the economic, political, and social order may be, any revolution that shatters the rule of law or eliminates the market entirely will necessarily result in greater inequality, suffering, and death. Like the communist parties of real authoritarian states, Bane and his cohorts represent a new ruling class that pretends to care about equality and liberation, but in practice resorts to oppression and extreme violence.

Rush: GOP establishment pushing 'to take Bachmann out' .....

We are Sooooooooo afraid of "offending" people.......
Well, anyone other than law abiding citizens of the US.....those folks they'll trash in a nano-second. 
I think there is a legitimate question here. As they so often say.....why object to the questions if there is nothing to hide...?
I also grow tired...very tired of my own Party.....

“The Muslim Brother is not a harmless little offshoot here,” Limbaugh said. “They’re not the mainstream where the others are the kooks. They’re all together. Bachmann’s inquiry is justified, and there’s no reason to tar and feather her. It’s a legitimate question to want to know if one of Hillary Clinton’s top aides poses a national security threat because of her husband’s ties to Muslim Brotherhood. That’s all they’re asking and McCain and the Republican establishment in the Senate went to the floor to trash Bachmann.”

Elton John praises George W. Bush and 'conservative politicians' ....

Elton John praised former President George W. Bush and “conservative American politicians” for pledging billions of dollars to “save the lives of Africans with HIV.” He also credited hip-hop artist Jay-Z with starting a “domino effect” in the African-American community to support gay marriage.

“We’ve seen George W. Bush and conservative American politicians pledge tens of billions to save the lives of Africans with HIV. Think of all the love. Think of where we’d be without it, nowhere, that’s where. We’d be nowhere at all,” John said at the International AIDS conference in Washington on Monday.

U.N.'s Arms Trade Treaty: "Why on Earth Would We Sign?"

However.....Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are going to....

Heritage senior research fellow Ted Bromund spoke against the proposed treaty at the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty Conference. “It is a fantasy,” he said, “to believe that a universal ATT, backed by nothing more than the words of the treaty itself, will succeed where the Security Council, backed by the authority of Chapter 7 [of the U.N. charter], has failed” to stop illegal arms sales.

As Holmes concluded, “Why on earth would we sign up to such a thing?”

Krauthammer: The Problem For Democrats Is The Gun Lobby Is The Majority Of Americans.....

The problem for [Joe] Lieberman is the gun lobby is the majority of the American people. It's not a lobby that is stopping all of this. The reason that the lobby is strong is because it represents overwhelming opinion in the United States.

Ice-T Defends Gun Rights: "The Last Form Of Defense Against Tyranny" ......

Ice-T: Yeah, it's legal in the United States. It's part of our Constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It's to protect yourself from the police.

Obama, the Great Educator

This is one course I would have gladly skipped!

And for their troubles they were muscled by the politicos, by the city inspectors and the chiselers and the weasels, all those smiling extortionists who held the government hammer over all of our heads...

We didn't eat red steaks at home or yellow bananas. We took home the brown bananas and the brown steaks because we couldn't sell them. But the government men liked the big, red steaks, the fat rib-eyes two to a shrink-wrapped package. You could put 20 or so in a shopping bag.

"Thanks, Greek," they'd say.

That was government.

Why Are Republicans Supporting the Farm Bill?

This is why we need to stay vigilant...and trust no one.....

The House’s version of the Farm Bill, H.R. 6083, authorizes $957 billion in spending over the next ten years. Like the Senate version, the House bill continues a program that protects sugar producers from foreign competition and creates a new subsidized insurance program for cotton. If this bill passes in the GOP-controlled House, Republicans will, once again, have broken their promises to promote limited government, transparency, free market principles, and balanced budgeting. They will have caved, once again, to special interests and to the culture of corporate welfare.

Obama Collects Campaign Cash from Key Solyndra Figures .......

Imagine this were George W. Bush!? The press would be HOWLING! The world as we know it would have ended.....blah...blah...blah. Yet, it's Obama...and we hear crickets chirp...

In the room for the $35,800 Obama fundraiser was Steve Westly, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, former Democratic gubernatorial candidate and one of the individuals who sent red flags about President Obama's support for Solyndra, winner of a $535 million Energy Department loan guarantee. Westly famously wrote an email urging Obama's top aides not to attend an event at the company's HQ here in the Bay Area because of Solyndra's shaky finances.

SOFREP‘s Brandon Webb Shares ’Lessons Learned’ From Aurora, Colo. Attack .....

Some excellent information here!

In a blog post, Webb first offers advice on how to lower your profile as a target should you find yourself in such a horrific event. He writes that one can achieve this at public venues by choosing seats that would allow for a “hasty exit.” For example, Webb states that he “still combat [parks] (backs into a space) and [sits] with my back to the wall when I’m eating.”

Giggling CBS Anchor Incorrectly Tries to Explain Tax Policy & Cuts to Paul Ryan .....

The sheer arrogance of these people......the "DO you know who I am" crowd......

  CBS’ Norah O’Donnell on Friday thought it would be a good idea to try to explain how taxes work to Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the GOP’s top “budget guru.” Needless to say, for anyone who understands the difference between a tax cut and a tax increase, she ended up looking rather foolish.

The Republican congressman kindly and calmly gave her a 30-second lesson in the basics of taxation.

Tea Party-Related Jim Holmes of Colo., Falsely Linked by ABC to ‘Dark Knight’ Shooting, Speaks Out Against the Network ......

Drive-By Media gets Drive-By results....

“There’s a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea party site as well, talking about him joining the Tea Party last year,” Ross said. “Now, we don’t know if this is the same Jim Holmes. But it’s Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado,” Brian Ross told George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America.”

The connection was wholly unverified, and ABC was forced to issue what some have deemed a “non-apology” retraction.

Watch the erroneous comments, below:

Business Owners Hit Back at Obama in ‘I Built This’ Video.....

My granddaughter is in this for our company.. I can't tell you how much I love owning a business...and how much it has taken from me personally. Since late 2008....we feel like we are at war...not running a business......many 1000 hour nights of no sleep worried to death about getting through the next week....and OUR President says "we didn't build this"......... really? Well...if it isn't us...then I'd like to find out who it is so we can pass the bills and worry onto them!

“Since the President doesn’t understand how our economy works, let’s take a moment to explain how small businesses are created,” Palin wrote on her blog. “More importantly, let’s show him the businesses we’ve made and who has made them.”

FAA Has Authorized 106 Government ‘Entities’ to Fly Domestic Drones.....

Is anyone asking WHY?

  Since Jan. 1 of this year, according to congressional testimony presented Thursday by the Government Accountability Office, the Federal Aviation Administration has authorized 106 federal, state and local government “entities” to fly “unmanned aircraft systems,” also known as drones, within U.S. airspace.
