MEXICAN INVASION

On a tip from Bob Sweet.

A U. S. Navy destroyer stops four Mexicans in a row boat rowing towards California.

The Captain gets on the loud- hailer and shouts,

"Ahoy, small craft. Where are you headed?"

One of the Mexicans puts down his oar, stands up and shouts...

"We are invading the United States of America to reclaim the

territory taken by the USA during the 1800's."

The entire crew of the destroyer doubled-over in laughter.

When the Captain is finally able to catch his breath

he gets back on the loud-hailer and asks,

"Just the four of you?"

The same Mexican stands up again and shouts,

"No, we're the last four. The rest are already there!"

Which one of these would have stopped the Newtown shooter?

Barry's 23 Executive Orders on gun control.

Funny thing... not one word on violent video games, rap music extolling the virtue of killing cops, and a movie industry which glorifies gun violence. Another oddity. In some of these he's issuing a Presidential Memorandum to himself. What? Also your doctor can now ask you if there is a gun in your home. Which in turn you can ask him if he's cheating on his wife. If doctor's thought they were paying high premiums for malpractice insurance watch what happens now!

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system.

2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system.

3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.

4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background check on an individual before returning a seized gun.

6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on how to run background checks for private sellers.

7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.

8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety Commission).

9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.

10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it widely available to law enforcement.

11. Nominate an ATF director.

12. Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations.

13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.

14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence.

15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop innovative technologies

16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes.

17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.

18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.

19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and institutions of higher education.

20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health services that Medicaid plans must cover.

21. Finalize regulations clarifying essential health benefits and parity requirements within ACA exchanges.

22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.

23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental health.

The only one I've seen which may have helped is number 18, and only if... "hire school resource officers"...means armed guards. Numbers 4- 6- 10- and 15 are almost laughable. What we're talking about here is Eric Holder. Mr Contempt of Congress. The same guy who allowed 2,000 guns to "walk" to Mexican drug cartels, killing hundreds of people, including two border patrol agents, and the tally is still rising. Ironically, Barry exercised the same ploy using an Executive Order to rescue Holder after his stalling tactics and continual lying failed to work before a Congressional hearing headed by Darrell Issa.

If Barry was really serious about gun control and violent crime.

He would have this guy arrested.

Barry shamelessly trots these kids out like carefully orchestrated props represented by every "flavor" to push forth his agenda. He is their personal Savior. His sweeping actions inoculated them from being shot.

Maybe the Republicans should use kids during the debt ceiling debate. Have them hold up a sign and parade them around on stage.

Tour de Fraud

Update

1-17-2013

Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his 2000 Olympic Games cycling time trial bronze medal by the International Olympic Committee, continuing his spectacular fall from grace.'We have written asking for the return of the medal from the Sydney 2000 Games,' an IOC official told Reuters on Thursday after the decision to take away the last major title won by the disgraced American.

The move was confirmed to the AP on the same day that Armstrong's admission of using performance-enhancing drugs – after years of denials – is to be broadcast in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

This confirms what I said below.

☟

Over 20 years of lies. I see no upside for Armstrong coming clean after all this time. I don't know what Oprah paid him but it wasn't enough.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not defending him. The only thing he had left was the uncertainty he skillfully placed in some people's minds. Those people who never believed had their suspicions confirmed. Those who did now see him for the liar he is. Up until about a year ago I believed him myself. The sad reality for Lance Armstrong is he probably would have won 7 Tour de France titles without doping up.

Maybe Oprah could get Barry on.. they could talk about.... Solyndra, Fast and Furious, Benghazi. The WH leaks...etc...

Don't bet on it.

Absurdity taken to new level

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

If this doesn't take the cake...

Somebody Needs to be Held Accountable for my 15 kids

(If video won't load click post title)

Video 1

If she want's to know what's accountable she should look between her legs. Worry not. Barry will be sending this worthless bag of excrement a check in short order. How do you help people who are too stupid to know they're the problem? Her co-conspirator who fathered 10 is in jail. Would it really make any difference if he wasn't? Who are the other 5 with? Does she even know? BTW...What do you think the prospects are for any of these children leading a meaningful and productive life?

This is only one spoke in a giant wheel. Conservatives demand an end to rewarding bad behavior, accepting personal responsibility, and as far as possible, ending welfare. The Liberals retort comes across usually something like this...why punish the children for the sins of the parents?

What's the end result? We are trapped in a vicious cycle, morally wrong for everybody involved, with no end in sight.

Government picks and chooses their own crime stats to advance their agenda.

Allow me to site an example. Liberals... as in Barry, Feinstein, Bloomberg, among others want a ban on assault rifles. They try to tie them to the Newtown shooting the same way they tried to tie Romney to the death of Joe Soptic's wife. As horrific and tragic as this event was, and realizing this is of no consolation for the families involved, the truth is Adam Lanza never took the rifle from the back seat of the car.
