Government Gone Wild

So Republicans actually get it. Well, some of them.

Cost of Illegal Immigration

A SCANDAL OF DEMOCRATS

Published January 19, 2018 | By Jack Kelly

If a tree falls in the forest, but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?  Not if it’s a Democrat scandal.  It’s gotten so that “scandal” should be the collective noun for Dems – like a school of fish, a leap of leopards, a prideof lions, a scandal of Democrats.

If any of these five scandals got half the attention Watergate did, each would be considered the worst in American history.

Conscience Lost in Vast Verbal Oceania of Obamacare

Heritage Foundation Link

Four More Years -- of This?

By Patrick J. Buchanan SOURCE

In what The Washington Post called “a bold act of political defiance,” President Obama Wednesday announced the recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Cordray’s nomination had been blocked by a Senate filibuster. There was no way he was going to win approval in 2012.

Enraged Republicans denounced the appointment as an affront and a usurpation of power, for the Senate had not formally gone into recess.

The White House airily dismissed the Republican rage, saying no Senate business is being conducted during the Christmas-New Year break, and to argue that the Senate is still in session is a sham.

Obama seemed to delight in his Trumanesque contempt:

“I will not sit by while a minority in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people they were elected to serve. … Not at this make-or-break moment for middle-class Americans.”

Cordray’s appointment will be contested in the courts. Yet it will likely stand, though it’s in-your-face aspect added appreciably to the bad blood bubbling in this city.

The Obamaites seem not to care.

Obama & Neo-Cons moves to obliterate Posse Comitatus.

Obama & Neo-Cons move to obliterate Posse Comitatus.

From Examiner.com…

America is a “battleground” says South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.
​The US government has been slowly eradicating the Posse Commitatus Act of 1878. That act banned the US government from using the US military in domestic law enforcement. Over the past few decades the US government has repeatedly violated the act. However, many Republicans have insisted that the Posse Commitatus Act needs to be respected to protect the rights of American Citizens.
South Carolina’s left-wing Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, however, is supporting provisions to eradicate Posse Commitatus and dramatically expand the powers of the Federal government.
The US Senate Armed Forces Committee, led by Carl Levin (D-MI) and John McCain (R-AZ), held a secret closed door session to insert ominous new Federal powers into the Defense Authorization Bill. This is the annual bill to fund the US military. These new powers were requested by the Obama administration.
The provisions would give the Federal government the power to insert the military into domestic law enforce and detain suspects indefinitely. While they claim that it will help “fight terrorism,” there is no limits to how the new powers could be abused. Critics call it an explicit creation of a police state.
American citizens would be denied all constitutional protections and there would be no oversight to prevent abuse. This is the same Federal government that intervened on behalf of the “underwear bomber” to get him on a plane to the US, even after his own father warned that he was a terrorist. This is the same US government that shadowed two of the 911 highjackers all the way from Malaysia, yet did nothing to stop them. We would be trusting the same people to decide who’s constitutional rights to suspend.
