<\/a>Obama Scandals<\/h1>\n
\nReaders may recall that last year, the House passed the Gosar Amendment that would have defunded President Obama’s “affirmatively furthering fair housing” (AFFH) rule.<\/p>\n
\nA new report on the Syrian refugee resettlement program reveals that the United Nations — not U.S. officials — initially pick and choose who can move to the United States and even become an American citizen.<\/p>\n
\nSenators blast administration capitulation to Iran as dangerous to U.S. security<\/p>\n<\/a>Gun Rights<\/h1>\n
\nCalifornia’s Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom is no stranger to controversy. He famously gave out gay marriage licenses during his time as Mayor of San Francisco, even as it flouted state law. His time as Mayor was met with serious economic troubles and increasing numbers of middle class residents leaving the city.<\/p>\n
\nLost in the all the carnage in Obama\u2019s disorganized community is this heartwarming nugget from over the weekend.<\/p>\n
\nHoping to provide cover for legislation that shortens sentences for many federal drug felons (i.e. dealers) and releases many of them early, Team Leniency \u2014 Sens. Mike Lee, Dick Durbin and company \u2014 touted the fact that their bill increases some mandatory minimum sentences.<\/p>\n
\nThe Washington state legislature has convened for a 60 day session, and the anti gunners are wasting no time introducing bills that supposedly address “gun violence”, in which they sort of admit that their “universal background check” ballot initiative has failed to prevent such “gun violence.”<\/p>\n<\/a>Hide the Decline<\/h1>\n
Environment &
\n“Green Energy”<\/h2>\n
\nFormer Vice President Al Gore shocked Americans in “An Inconvenient Truth” when he said polar bears were drowning because global warming was melting Arctic sea ice, but now a new study shows that polar bears did just fine even when there was no ice covering the Arctic.<\/p>\n
\nWe haven’t had the chance to really dig into the toxic plume which is the drinking water supply in Flint, Michigan yet, but by this point it’s obvious that this is a disaster with far reaching implications. <\/p>\n
\nAdd another one to the huge list of excuses for “the pause” in global temperature.<\/p>\n
\nPresident Obama has just announced a 3 year moratorium on leasing federal land for new coal mines, pending a review of the impact of coal on the global climate.<\/p>\n
\nMost people have no trouble relating to temperature, because they use it every day when they set the thermostat in their homes, adjust the temperature dial on an oven, or watch a weather report on TV. On the other hand, practically no one recognizes a temperature anomaly, the yardstick for measuring man-made global warming. That\u2019s because outside of climate studies, no one uses it.<\/p>\n<\/a>Obamacare<\/h1>\n
Government in Healthcare<\/h2>\n
\nHe sent Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell a letter on December 30 notifying her that he plans to move from the state health exchange to the federal Healthcare.gov website for Kentuckians to purchase Obamacare.<\/p>\n
\nTake a blood test or lose your health coverage.<\/p>\n
\nCanada is on the verge of instituting the most radical culture of death in the world. <\/p>\n<\/a>War & Terror<\/h1>\n
\nThe United Nations has been grappling with so many sexual abuse allegations involving its peacekeepers that Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon recently called them “a cancer in our system.”<\/p>\n
\nU.N. peacekeepers in the Central African Republic allegedly paid young girls as little as 50 cents in exchange for sex<\/p>\n
\nAs North Korea dug tunnels at its nuclear test site last fall, watched by American spy satellites, the Obama administration was preparing a test of its own in the Nevada desert.<\/p>\n
