CHICKASAW.TV | American Revolution

Question: What’s his next move, ..trading food stamps for guns?
Time to get blunt and bring a little reality into focus...In me youth 1940's -1950's I was a Blue Dog Democrat....why because my parents were...in the 1960's thru the 1970's I became a Republican....why because  I was growing up and started  forming my own opinions...1994 forward I became a Independent Conservative because the GOP left me ( I went to school when they actually taught us to think and form opinions based on facts presented... and history...a lost art today) ...I dropped out of college to join the fight during the Vn era...enlisted in the US Army...why because my parents raised me right...they always told me to base my decisions on current events and facts as presented and to always be loyal to the US Constitution/Bill of Rights...which translates to : "Be True to your School" que:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7sLDziV2hs





Our country was formed during the Revolution 1776...our General was George Washington who led a Army of Misfits...only because they were individual thinkers who wanted relief from a Monarchy form of government...#Freedom !

Bringing this forward....we are now in a phase where our government is once again becoming a Monarchy...leaders who never gave blood,sweat and tears...they chose to defer from service to advance their proverbial agendas and financial portfolios...here we are 2016 after 8 years of progressive rule...The Obama administration...and what do we have running for POTUS on the so called conservative side...hello self serving RINOS...not one of which took the time out to serve their country in the proverbial FoxHoles...Blood,sweat and tears...they all were deferred during their college years...why you ask?...Simple they had their own agendas,financial portfolios front and center...not dedication to serving our beloved country from the bottom up..they took the short cut...Talk smack and claim to be a true patriot without actually getting ones proverbial hands dirty and giving blood,sweat and tears...This also applies to the numerous talking heads on Main (Lame) Stream Media.


George Washington was our first General as well as President...he set the example of who should be Commander in Chief and President...One who actually took the time out to serve without realizing monetary gain,fame and fortune...the only candidate on the GOP side to have actually served was Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore who dropped out do to lack of funding...on the DNC side two old hippies ...what is wrong with this picture? You be the Judge Middle America...!

I for one am sick and tired of the same old same old BS'ers...Both sides of the proverbial aisle...Time for real change back to the future from which we came !

Side note *Breaking News*: SCOTUS Scalia passed away...on the debate all should demand Congress to hold off on any nomination by Barack Obama until after the November elections! #PERIOD

Big Brother Wants to Send Agents To Your House for “Home Visits”

http://minutemennews.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/330719_US-Espionage-NSA-330x189.jpg
oped: Here we go again with the Hillary Clinton "It takes a village to raise a child"...pure progressive marxist/nazi crap! 
Funny Hillary Clinton for Pinterest
[Yup Bill and Hillary are the perfect parents..they have one adult child~ still living in ma & pa's basement]

This story from The New American shows the extent to which the Feds are flexing their muscle in their intent to usurp your parental rights.    


In a recent policy statement, Obama’s DOE and DHS have defined family as:  “all the people who play a role in a child’s life and interact with a child’s early childhood program or school.”   This is no joke!
The New American reports:  Big Brother wants to be an “equal partner” with American parents in the raising of their own children, starting before they are even born. He wants to send his agents to your house for “home visits,” too. Believe it or not, two powerful arms of Obama administration, the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), explicitly say so themselves. 


In a draft policy statement on “family engagement,” the two unconstitutional bureaucracies openly state their joint position: families are “equal partners” in everything from children’s “development” and “education” to their “wellness across all settings.” Virtually no area of family life, including the health and “mental health” of parents, as well as a family’s “attitudes” and even its “housing,” would be free from government intrusion under the government’s Orwellian vision. Even vague notions of “family wellness,” as defined by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., would be put under a government microscope. “Parenting interventions” will be used to ensure compliance.     


To advance the “goal” of turning families into “equal partners,” the joint policy statement by the two federal bureaucracies provides “recommendations” to, and highlights resources for, state and local governments. The document argues that Big Brother needs to know about essentially everything, for the supposed benefit of the child it wants to “partner” in caring for. Citing “research,” the policy statement claims that “the institutions where children learn cannot ignore family wellness if they want to … fulfill their mission to prepare children for school and academic success.” In other words, every aspect of family life is now fair game under the pretext of checking “family wellness.”    
The paper also calls for “jointly” developing and monitoring goals for the children at home and the classroom, with government employees told to “engage parents as capable, competent partners.”  

This Black History Month Video Teaches Kids About “White Guilt”

A video shown to a Virginia high school promoting “White guilt” has some students and their parents in an uproar.
The month of February has been designated as Black History Month. During this month, teachers will be integrating into their curricula notable people and historical events pertaining to the Black community.
At Glen Allen High School in Henrico, Virginia, an animated video was shown to students that many are claiming promotes White guilt. Entitled “Structural Discrimination: The Unequal Opportunity Race,” the video depicts people of different racial backgrounds competing in a race.
Those with darker skin encounter roadblocks, a pool of sharks, mandatory drug tests, thunderstorms, prison, and other things that prevent them from finishing the race. Meanwhile, those with white skin coast to the finish line without any trouble.
Terms such as “discrimination,” “poor schooling,” “underemployment,” “standardized tests,” and “school to prison pipeline” flashed while the darker participants encountered their difficulties.

When one of the black runners was obstructed by a wall with a “Dead End” sign on it, construction workers can be seen in the background building a moving walkway so that one of the white runners can win the race without any effort. Terms such as “connections,” “privilege,” “wealth,” and “old boy network” flash onto the screen as the white runner wins the race holding a cup that says “Yale” on it.
At the end of the video, it says, “Affirmative action helps level the playing field.” Here’s the video:

https://youtu.be/vX_Vzl-r8NY



KSLA reported that not everyone was on board with the video:
“Dr. King gave his life so that America would be a place where we are judged by the content of our character not the color of our skin,” said radio personality Craig Johnson. “Now we have poverty pimps being led by our current president Barack Obama who all they talk about is the color of skin.”
A concerned parent wrote a letter complaining the video is leading to tensions in school.
“Y’all are privileged. Get the — blank — over it,” read one of numerous tweets about the topic, said the parent.

Don Blake’s granddaughter attended the assembly.
“They are sitting there watching a video that is dividing them up from a racial standpoint. It’s a White guilt kind of video,” said Blake. “I think somebody should be held accountable for this.”
Johnson agrees.
“Force that person to stand on that stage and defend that video,” said Johnson. “I’m telling you … I will mop the floor with that person.”
Henrico School leaders released the following statement:
“The students participated in a presentation that involved American history and racial discourse. A segment of the video was one component of a thoughtful discussion in which all viewpoints were encouraged. As always, we are welcoming of feedback from students and their families, and we address concerns directly as they come forward.”

Context Matters: The Cliven Bundy Standoff -- Part 1 - Forbes

[LaVoy at Bundy Ranch, April 12, 2014 ]


by:
I listened today for a couple of hours as the last of the four who were held up at the Oregon Wildlife refuge left. It was an intense time as David Fry, after almost two hours, came out with his friends. However, behind the scenes, things are taking a very strange twist. In an exclusive interview with Jason Van Tatenhove, media director for Oathkeepers, he told Freedom Outpost that there have been reports of 68 warrants against Americans who stood alongside Cliven Bundy in Nevada in 2014 and several involved in standing between the Bureau of Land Management and the Sugar Pine Mine.   

Van Tatenhove said that Oathkeepers were in the process of seeking to confirm the number of indictments and may have that information available later on Thursday's broadcast of NorthWest Liberty News with Jim White and Tim Brown at 4pm EST.   

"We are trying to verify this information through intelligence sources with deep contacts DHS and whatnot… there are 68 new warrants stemming back through Bundy Ranch and the other mine operations," Van Tatenhove said. "We're trying to reach out to the FBI to confirm."
Van Tatenhove has an interest in these warrants as he stood at Bundy Ranch in 2014 against the BLM siege with the Bundys.
Additionally, during our interview, Jason was able to provide me with current information. In addition to Cliven Bundy being arrested in Oregon on Wednesday evening, Blaine Cooper was also arrested on Thursday morning in Springdale, Utah. Cooper, as you may recall, referred to Senator John McCain as a traitor during a townhall meeting.

If that was not enough, reports are that Victoria Sharp's family's house has been surrounded by agents. Sharp, as you may recall, provided eyewitness testimony of the murder of LaVoy Finicum and also said that over one hundred shots were fired into their vehicle in an attempt to kill the occupants.    
oped:note: Please consider the fact that Victoria Sharp is an 18 year old kid who was not even part of the dispute. She was there to musically perform in John Day and without so much as an opportunity to surrender peacefully. 
Eighteen-year-old Victoria Sharp poses during an exclusive interview ...

Transcript of Victoria Sharp: Oregon FBI/OSP

What did these seven occupants do to warrant a “shoot first order”? They did nothing, but they were never given the opportunity to surrender before being fired upon, on two different occasions. And as Shawna Cox put it “Lavoy was murdered in cold blood by the FBI, he had his hands in the air until he was shot”.
Shawna added, as a footnote, that when the last man was taken into custody, they were asked if there were any others left in the truck. They responded that they were the last. The FBI promptly proceeded to fire over 100 more rounds into the vehicle after the vehicle was vacated. 

Two other persons were arrested in Mesquite on Wednesday. From the information that Van Tatenhove shared with me, "Skipper," who has been at Bundy Ranch as Cliven Bundy's bodyguard since October and another man referred to as "Joker Jay" met in a Wal-mart parking lot around 9:10pm on Wednesday. Sources tell us that the men arrived in separate vehicles and were tackled by FBI agents.   

According to the information passed onto me by Van Tatenhove, "They were handcuffed and put in separate vehicles and taken to the Holiday Inn parking lot where there were more FBI cars. Agents in full tactical "battle rattle" were present. Skipper was questioned and gave as short answers as possible."
Skipper was released, but Jay was charged with impeding officers at the Oregon refuge. Jay was then transported to Las Vegas Metro and is currently being held in the Henderson, Nevada detention center, according to a message Skipper received from Jay's sister.
All of this is coming down pretty fast as Cliven Bundy's flight into Oregon on Wednesday was prefaced by his call for the American people, patriots and militia to "wake up!" because "it's time!"


The Mask Is Off: Trump Blames Conservatives For GOP Betrayals

Trump Hillary

On Wednesday, Donald Trump finally came out of the closet: yes, he admitted, he’s no conservative, but conservatives are the problem with the country anyway. Here’s his tweet:
Trump is half-right – the Republican Party has promised, over and over again, that it would implement conservative policies. Then they reneged, disappointing their conservative base over and over. That’s one reason the two leading candidates for the Republican nomination are Trump and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), both hated by the establishment but supported by grassroots conservatives.

So why is Trump blaming “the help of Conservatives” for the lies of the Republican establishment? Because Trump isn’t conservative, and now he’s admitting it. Trump has spent most of his career giving money to Democrats; he has spent most of his career rejecting conservative policies; even now, his version of conservatism boils down to “give me power and I’ll make great deals,” which is a leftist vision of government rather than a conservative one. Like many members of the Republican establishment, Trump thinks the biggest problem with the Republican Party is ideology; he only dislikes the establishment because he doesn’t run it. He wants to replace the old Party establishment with himself. He wants to top the power pyramid.

And so he blames conservatives.
This is also a strategic play to get ahead of the Cruz-led argument that Trump doesn’t philosophically qualify to win conservative votes. Trump is stating pre-emptively that he isn’t failing conservatism – conservatism has already failed, and he’s just here to help the country. Many of his followers believe this – I routinely receive emails and tweets proclaiming that Trump fans don’t care if Trump is conservative, because he’s a “real American,” as though Americanism can be boiled down to nationalism while excising Constitutionalism. Trump’s going full-bore populist now.

So Republicans have a clear choice. Cruz is an actual conservative, who believes in a philosophy of limited government and personal freedom, combined with social institutions that instill virtue in the American citizenry. Trump is for “The Great Man” politics, with himself as Great Man – beyond ideology, beyond principle. 

Trump’s pre-emptive attack on conservatism may work. But if it does, we can rightly say that the contest between non-conservative Republicanism and conservative Republicanism is over – and that non-conservatism used the pique of the conservative movement to re-establish itself, merely replacing the faces at the top.


 
 

FBI Can’t Proceed With San Bernardino Evidence Because Of THIS – UNBELIEVABLE!

18 Hilarious Instagram Comments | SMOSH
by:Terresa Monroe-Hamilton 

How is this even possible? You’re telling me that with all our know-how and technology, the FBI can’t decrypt one stupid cell phone? The FBI is still unable to crack the encryption of the cellphone belonging to the San Bernardino killers. Comey is calling for the elimination of encryption on cellphones for privacy because ‘terrorism’. Sorry, not buying that one guys. No federal agency should ever be given unfettered free access to our privacy. Back door access could just as easily be used to persecute as it is to hunt bad guys. We’ve seen examples of this already in play at the IRS. As far as individuals go, just assume everything you do can now be seen and observed because it probably is. All you do on your computers and your phones is pretty much out there forever, so conduct yourselves accordingly.

From the Political Insider:
FBI Director James Comey said on Tuesday that federal investigators have still been unable to access the contents of a cellphone belonging to one of the killers in the Dec. 2 shootings in San Bernardino, California, due to encryption technology.
Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that the phenomenon of communications “going dark” due to more sophisticated technology and wider use of encryption is “overwhelmingly affecting” law enforcement operations, including investigations into murder, car accidents, drug trafficking and the proliferation of child pornography.
“We still have one of those killer’s phones that we have not been able to open,” Comey said about the San Bernardino attack.
Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, launched the Islamic State-inspired attack with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 29, at a social services agency in the California city, leaving 14 dead.
Comey and other federal officials have long warned that powerful encryption poses a challenge for criminal and national security investigators though the FBI director added Tuesday that “overwhelmingly this is a problem that local law enforcement sees.” 
Technology experts and privacy advocates counter that so-called “back door” access provided to authorities would expose data to malicious actors and undermine the overall security of the Internet.

I want to get the terrorists just as much as anyone out there. But a line has to be drawn somewhere here. What I fear is political persecution and the ability to hunt people down as terrorists that are nothing more than patriotic Americans. Because trust me… those in power would do exactly that if they thought they could get away with it. A study from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard released last month citing some current and former intelligence officials concluded that fears about encryption are overstated in part because new technologies have given investigators unprecedented means to track suspects. The White House last year abandoned a push for legislation that would mandate U.S. technology firms to allow investigators a way to overcome encryption protections, amid rigorous private sector opposition. But the issue has found renewed life after the shootings in San Bernardino and Paris. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are beginning to push for legislation on this. We better be careful how we weigh our desire for security with our freedoms hanging in the balance.


If You Receive Social Security... the Obama Administration is Coming for Your Guns!

Jokes Funny Pictures Political Humor Social Security


oped: Well maybe the SSA should list Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Davis Obama or whatever his real name is...after all the Social Security number he uses is from a dead man...is Obama competent,legal,alive or whatever! Y'all be the Judge...imho Barry Obama is one messed up dude and should have been impeached long ago!

If you've got a gun and you receive Social Security, you are now being targeted by the Obama administration.
In the latest stealth effort by the Communist administration, the Social Security Administration is wanting to list the names of those who receive Social Security benefits to the National Instant Check System (NICS) as "prohibited persons." This would effectively ban them from being able to purchase a gun and would target those who already own guns.
It would also be a clear violation of the Fifth Amendment's due process clause.
The LA Times has the story: 

, funny, Social Security picture, Social Security pictures, Social ...

The push is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws regulating who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, which is used to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally and others.

A potentially large group within Social Security are people who, in the language of federal gun laws, are unable to manage their own affairs due to "marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease."



If Social Security, which has never participated in the background check system, uses the same standard as the VA, millions of its beneficiaries would be affected. About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by 'representative payees.'

The Veterans Administration has been involved in this for years now, as they have sought to disarm our veterans, those who have fought to defend the very rights they are being deprived. My good friend Leon Puissegur seems to have been targeted in such a manner.
Just like the VA, the Social Security Administration would have no judicial oversight, which would mean they would end up violating the Constitutional rights of American citizens under the Second and Fifth Amendments.
We already know that the NICS system is being used to build a database, despite it being against the law to do so.

Owning a gun is not a crime. Being a veteran is not a crime. Being elderly is not a crime. Even being marked as having "subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease" is not a crime. Therefore, people's rights should not be infringed because a mentally ill, criminal usurper thinks they should be.
Any way this criminal administration can think of restricting or confiscating guns, they are looking to do it. Whether it is through the Veterans Administration, more background checks, or putting people on a random no-fly list, they are openly defying God, the people and the Constitution.

What Americans need to keep their eyes on is the simple fact that the united States Constitution does not grant any authority to DC politicians to write law nor impose by executive order the restriction of guns for citizens. Congress doesn't have that authority, the Executive Branch doesn't have that authority and neither does the Judicial Branch. This is a usurpation and always has been because every federal gun law is unconstitutional!

Four Oregon occupiers surrender to FBI; final man threatened suicide before leaving

People wave American flags near the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016, near Burns, Ore. The last four armed occupiers of the national wildlife refuge in eastern Oregon said they would turn themselves in Thursday morning, after law officers surrounded them in a tense standoff.  (AP Photo/Rebecca Boone)
oped: Kudos to the #FBI who maintained a calm patience and control of the situation...they did not respond to the whacko calls from the progressive bent within the Oregon governors office to attack and eliminate the protestors! There is still the issue of how the road block and death of Lavoy went down...I am confident it will work it's way through the court system now that the stand off has met it's peaceful end! 


 

The Oregon stand-off ended Thursday after three occupiers surrendered and the last man finally went with police hours later after threatening to commit suicide.
“I’m actually holding a gun to my head,” occupier David Fry said as facilitators attempted to coax him out, saying later, “I’m tired, everybody.”

He watched the three other remaining protesters — Sandy and Sean Anderson and Jeff Banta — surrender to the FBI, then told supporters on a livestreamed phone conversation that he would not turn himself in until “my demands are met.”
The three protesters turned themselves in after the arrival of two facilitators, Nevada state Assemblywoman Michele Fiore and the Rev. Franklin Graham.
Mr. Anderson surrendered with his hands in the air holding an American flag alongside his wife Sandy, according to Mr. Fry, who described the scene in an online conversation with Ms. Fiore and supporter Gavin Seim.

After Mr. Banta turned himself in, however, Mr. Fry shouted, “Unless our grievances are heard, I will not go out!” He later said he wanted a “peaceful resolution,” and that, “Nobody’s going to get hurt unless they make some kind of move.”

Ms. Fiore, Mr. Seim and liberty activist KrisAnne Hall were attempting to coax out the increasingly upset Mr. Fry, who said he was “making a stand” and worried that “they’ll just ignore us” if he left the refuge.
The facilitators, who arrived at the request of the holdouts, said their intention was to ensure that the surrender took place peacefully and without bloodshed. One occupier, Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, was shot and killed Jan. 26 at an FBI roadblock.
Earlier Thursday, the FBI took into custody Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, longtime federal-lands protester and father of occupation leaders Ammon and Ryan Bundy, after he arrived in Portland, Oregon. A court hearing is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
The three surrenders came after a tense day of negotiations with FBI agents by phone with the occupiers, who had been trapped for a week in a makeshift camp after law enforcement set up roadblocks outside the refuge.

The four were the last of several dozen armed protesters who took over the refuge headquarters Jan. 2 in a protest against federal public-lands policy.
In a phone conversation streamed online, Ms. Fiore could be heard beforehand attempting to calm the sometimes panicky, sometimes defiant holdouts, telling them that, “I need you alive” to continue the fight against federal land-management authority.
At another point, Mr. Graham led the occupiers in prayer.
Attorney Mike Arnold, who represents Ammon Bundy, characterized the occupation as a form of civil disobedience, which he described as “phase one” of the protest, and that “phase two” is the upcoming legal battle.
A grand jury has indicted 16 of the protesters on federal conspiracy charges, but Mr. Arnold said at a televised roadside press conference Thursday that “the First Amendment and the Second Amendment aren’t mutually exclusive.”

EPA Goes After Low-Income Farmers In Land Grab

http://thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/shutterstock_311285612-998x667.jpg
The Supreme Court says the Clean Water Act is not a grant of federal control over every stream and depression in the nation. The Environmental Protection Agency says otherwise.  

oped: First and foremost Congress needs to defund and abolish the EPA as well as the BLM...These two agencies are the biggest abusers of authority followed by the IRS. 
90% of all federal lands should be returned to the states to control...as was intended in the US Constitution.
The federal government is only entitled to lands within the states for military bases,federal buildings and border check points not carte blanche' control of lands within the USA #Period many other unnecessary and abusive agencies should also be defunded and abolished this would reduce our debt substantially and return power to the states as intended!



By
Pendleton County, West Virginia, is home to 540 farms. The average farm in the county has a net income of around $45,000 a year. On either coast, that’s not an impressive income, but those farms are important to Pendleton County, where the median household income is $30,429.
Arlington County, Virginia, just blocks from the nation’s capital, is one of the richest counties in the nation, with a median household income of $94,876, and a median family income just over $127,000. Two thousand, one hundred employees of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) call Arlington County home.

At least some of those EPA employees have been thinking about farms in Pendleton County. The county is in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and, consequently, in the crosshairs of a massive and detailed EPA blueprint to alter the waters of the bay. The plan, an outgrowth of an executive order President Obama signed shortly after taking office, divides the Chesapeake watershed into thousands of small areas and prescribes pollution abatement goals for each of those areas.
These goals, or total maximum daily loads (TMDL), will give EPA total control over land use throughout the six states and the District of Columbia that make up the Chesapeake Watershed. For farmers in Pendleton County, the effects will be immediate and drastic. Or, to quote from a brief the county and several other nearby counties filed in the Third Circuit Court: “It is anticipated that a significant amount of Pendleton county farmland will have to be removed from production due to its proximity to waterways and the resulting impact of the Bay TMDL on local land use.”

Here Come the Federal Puddle Police

The American Farm Bureau filed suit against the EPA, arguing that its Chesapeake Bay plan exceeded the EPA’s authority under the Clean Water Act (CWA). The Third District Court found against AFB, and the case has been appealed to the Supreme Court. If the highest court in the land agrees to hear the appeal, they’ll surely do so with more than a little frustration, as environmental agencies have lost three times in similar Supreme Court cases since 2001. The highest court has consistently reminded the agencies that the Clean Water Act is not a grant of federal control over every stream and depression in the nation.

In direct contradiction to the plain language of the law, the EPA blueprint envisions almost no role for the states involved.
As the Supreme Court is surely tired of pointing out, there are restraints on the federal government in the CWA. It leaves a large amount of room for a state role in environmental regulation. In fact, the act makes that “cooperative federalism” explicit, to whit: “primary responsibilities and rights of States to prevent, reduce, and eliminate pollution, to plan the development and use (including restoration, preservation, and enhancement) of land and water resources….”

In direct contradiction to the plain language of the CWA, the EPA blueprint envisions almost no role for the states involved, setting pollution limits for thousands of individual areas in the watershed. According to the plaintiffs: “As a practical matter, the power to set numeric limits for sediment and nutrients by source type within specific geographic areas equals nothing short of the power to allow farming here, but not there, building here, but not there.”

We’re Doing Fine Without Your Interference

According to a 2014 report from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the bay’s water quality has improved 40 percent since the early 1980s. That’s a testament to the ability of states to carry out the responsibilities the CWA lays out. Due to their efforts, the bay’s water quality is better than it has been since the 1940s.


According to a 2014 report from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the bay’s water quality has improved 40 percent since the early 1980s.
The EPA’s plan is unnecessary and prohibitively expensive, forbidding the flexibility needed to economically reach the environmental goals everyone in this controversy shares. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently commissioned a study that found flexibility in meeting those goals could, when compared to the EPA blueprint, reduce costs 73 percent in Pennsylvania and well over 80 percent in Delaware, New York, Maryland, and West Virginia.

It surely must have come to the notice of the few federal regulators still capable of irony that residents of one of the richest counties in the nation are threatening the livelihood of farmers in one of the poorest counties in the nation. The proposed federal mandates for Pendleton County and the thousands of other areas the EPA blueprint covers would mean fewer acres farmed and a direct hit on farmers’ ability to make a living.
The Obama administration has spent much time and energy focusing on the problem of income inequality. One way of addressing the problem would be to work for common-sense local solutions to environmental problems, not a diktat from high-dollar Washington experts that ignores the rights of states and small farmers alike.

After Muslims Rape 2,000 Women, the Women Turn Around and Form an Entire Army to Deal with Islamic Jihadists

Friends, some of the best lessons learned are some of the hardest lessons learned. Following the capture and forced sexual slavery of the Islamic State of 2,000 Yazidi women, the women have set their sights on dealing with these Islamic devils by forming an army called the "Sun Ladies."   

Some 2,000 Yazidi women who were captured in the brutal August 2014 attack on their mountain stronghold have escaped and have taken up arms against their former tormentors. Driven by the fresh memories of unspeakable atrocities and the survival of their people, hundreds have signed up to fight the black-clad terrorist army.



They call themselves the "Force of the Sun Ladies," a name that reflects the culture's solar reverence. Monotheistic and embracing elements of several religions, Yazidi once numbered 650,000 in Iraq, nearly all on the northern Nineveh Plain. ISIS' genocidal campaign to "purify" Iraq of non-Muslims led to the slaughter of thousands and displaced at least 200,000. 


Now we are defending ourselves from the evil; we are defending all the minorities in the region," Capt. Khatoon Khider told FoxNews.com. "We will do whatever is asked of us."
Of the number of Yazidi women who have been trained and are fighting alongside their male counterparts, Khider is one of 123. Their ages range from 17 to 37, and there are at least another 500 awaiting their training.
As we have reported in the past, not only have Yazidi women been subjected to such horrific conditions under the Islamic State, to the point where they make phone calls crying to bomb them to put them out of their misery, but we have also reported on Christian veterans who have left the States in order to help the Peshmerga and the women they rescue.

Khider also told FOX News about some of the reports we've carried here about women throwing their babies off the tops of mountains and jumping themselves in order to bring a swift end to their lives, rather than either die a brutal death or be made sex slaves by the Islamic animals of the region, according to Islamic jihad 

"Women were throwing their children from the mountains and then jumping themselves because it was a faster way to die," Khider said. "Our hands were all tied. We couldn't do anything about it.
"Whenever a war wages, our women end up as the victims," she added.
"Our elite force is a model for other women in the region," she said. "We want to thank all the other countries who help us in this difficult time, we want everyone to take up weapons and know how to protect themselves from the evil."
While I am certainly not in favor of our own corrupt government advancing the issue of putting women in combat and attempting to force women to be drafted into military (nor men for that matter), I certainly commend these women for wanting to fight to stave off the attack of these aggressors against them and their families.

Nancy Pelosi Quotes Mohammad and Pushes Islam at the National Prayer Breakfast

Less than a week after the President paid a visit to one of America’s most controversial mosques, the liberal Democrats continued to propagandize for Islam. This time, instead of President Obama, it was House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who was carrying the water for the Islamists. Before reading a passage from the Gospel of John, Pelosi argued that Christianity, Judaism and Islam are at their heart – the same.
“As we hear these words from John 13:15 and 17, we know that this message, this command of love, is not confined to New Testament. The same message stands at the center of the Torah and the teachings of the Prophet Mohammad too.
From the Torah it says, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.’ And from Muhammad, 'None of you has faith until he loves for his brother or his neighbor what he loves for himself.'” 


Here’s what John 13:15-17 (ESV) says: For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 

It is disturbing (to say the least) that liberals continue to perpetuate the mythology that Islam bears any resemblance to Judeo-Christian faith, morality and practice. The religions bear passing resemblance due to the fact that Mohammed used Judaism and Christianity as a template for his design of Islam… but there is no underlying similarity.
Eagle Rising’s own Paul Dowling has explained this many times on our pages. Here are just a few examples:
Sh** Islam says: No Dogs, No Dancing and Definitely No Talking During Sex
The point of discussing the prohibition of some of the simplest pleasures in life, by the Sharia, should naturally beg the following question: If these things are forbidden, what else might be?  Well, in short, under Islamic law almost anything that might distract a person from reverent behavior or that might direct one’s mind in an irreverent or possibly sacrilegious direction is risky.  Danger lurks behind each and every humorous comment, never mind risqué or off-color jokes. 


Islam has been Genocidal from its Very Beginning
Ibn Ishaq describes the killing of the Banu Qurayza men, in The Life of Muhammad, Section 690, as follows: “Then they [the Banu Qurayza] surrendered, and the apostle [Muhammad] confined them in Medina. . . .  Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it.  Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. . . .  There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900.  As they [the Jews] were being taken out in batches to the apostle they asked Kab what he thought would be done with them.  He replied, ‘Will you never understand?  Don't you see that the summoner never stops and those who are taken away do not return?  By Allah it is death!’  This went on until the apostle made an end of them.”  Thus genocide of the Kafir (the non-Muslim) became doctrinaire Islam.
Rape and Abuse of Women is Part and Parcel of Islam
Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them.  Good women are obedient.  They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them.  As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.  Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely Allah is most high.”  —Koran 4:34 


There is no real discussion of rape qua rape in the Koran.  There is likewise no verse which forbids forced sex.  But what does exist is a verse giving Muslim men permission to commit rape against women taken by their right hands—their sword hands—in jihad.  As part of a discourse on the subject of forbidden sex, here is how Koran 4:24 reads: “Also [sexually forbidden are] married women, except those slaves whom your right hands possess [as war booty].  Thus has Allah ordained for you.  All others [who are not your slaves] are lawful, provided you seek them from your property, desiring chastity, not fornication.  So with those among them whom you have enjoyed, give them their required due, but if you agree mutually after the requirement [has been determined], there is no sin on you.  Surely, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.”
More Koranic Misogyny and Violence can be read about here.
While there do exist verses about love, peace and understanding in the Koran, those passages are in opposition with verses demanding the exact opposite of these things.
Islam cannot honestly be called a Religion of Peace, nor should it ever be equated with Judaism or Christianity, two religions which desperately value life and peace. Instead, Islam should be recognized for what it is… A Religion of Violence.

Islam’s Contribution to the World

Islamabad writer Dr. Farrukh Saleem pointed out in 2005 indisputable facts about the Islamic world.
Combined, 57 Islamic countries are the world’s poorest and most illiterate:
  • The GDP of 57 Muslim countries is less than $2 trillion;
  • Muslims comprise roughly 22 percent of the world’s population but only produce less than 5 percent of global GDP;
  • 20 percent of Arabs live on less than $2 per day;
  • The average growth rate of per capita income in the Arab world hovers around .5 percent per year [worse than everywhere else except for sub-Saharan Africa];
  • 60 percent of Muslims worldwide are illiterate;
  • 50 percent of Arab women cannot read. 
  • Dr. Javaid Laghari adds that 40 percent of the Muslim states’ population falls below the poverty line.
    These 57 Islamic countries contribute the least to scientific and technological advancement, let alone have computers or use the Internet. Saleem points out that over a period of more than 105 years, only two (2) Muslims won the Nobel Peace Prize. (They studied Physics and Chemistry in Italy, the U.K., and California). Only eight (8) Muslims are Nobel Laureates.
    Of the entire Arab population, only:

    • 1 percent has a personal computer—and;
    • .5 percent uses the Internet.
    To reiterate: these 57 Islamic countries are the world’s poorest, most illiterate, and contribute the least to scientific and technological advancement, let alone have computers or use the Internet.
    Islamists organized and implemented the most expansive slavery enterprise — ever — in history of the world.
    In fact, historians have estimated that Muslims have enslaved over 100 million people over 14 centuries. Additionally, Muslims enslaved Africans 1,000 years prior to the European African slave trade and continued another 100 years after Europeans abolished it.

    Not to mention, that Islam subjugates women and girls to:
  • Female genital mutilation (genitals being cut and sewn shut),
  • Honor killings (fathers or brothers kill their daughters/sisters),
  • Child marriage (girls under age 12 are married to adult men),
  • Slavery (girls are sold for “protection” by their parents and/or kidnapped and sold at slave bazaars),
  • Shari’a Councils (Imams marry girls – even for one hour– to men, then divorce them only to marry them to another man and divorce them again),
  • Wife abuse and domestic violence (husbands are instructed to beat their wives as a form of punishment); husbands are permitted to rape their wives,
  • Non-legal status for women who are considered property (a wife’s legal rights equate to only half of her husband’s),
  • Discrimination, punishment, and death for everyone based on sexual and religious orientation, especially if they will not “convert” to Islam.
Is it any wonder that “refugees” and “asylum seekers” increasingly enter America and Western Europe by the millions, every year— from Islamic-controlled countries?

SHOCK: Ford Makes Massive Announcement… Trump Was Right About Everything

SHOCK: Ford Makes Massive Announcement… Trump Was Right About Everything [Read Full Story Here]
via:ConservativeTribune

One of the cornerstones of Donald Trump’s campaign has been the fact that millions of jobs have been lost to overseas industries because it is often too expensive to do business in America anymore.
Many liberals have criticized Trump for these statements, but the Wall Street Journal recently reported that Ford’s latest production move showed that Trump was exactly right.
Ford planned to build a new assembly plant in Mexico in order to produce 500,000 more vehicles in Mexico than it currently does. Last year Ford’s Mexican output was 433,000 vehicles, which translates to about 14 percent of its total production in North America.
This deal had not been publicly confirmed and a Ford spokesperson simply stated, “We do not comment on speculation,” when asked about the company’s plans for Mexico.
Ford to open a new plant in Mexicohttps://t.co/Hbo0QekNbp
— FOX & Friends (@foxandfriends) February 8, 2016

Mexico has become a serious competitor in the car-making market with “low wages, improved logistics and an arsenal of free-trade deals,” the Wall Street Journal explained.
If the report proves true, Ford will join a long line of auto dealers making the pivot to Mexico, including BMW, General Motors, Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda and Kia.
This shift is only expected to grow because the United Auto Workers labor union recently struck a deal to increase wages for U.S. factory workers, making domestic production just that much more cost-prohibitive.

As wages in the U.S. go up, Mexican wages stay the same, and it therefore becomes even cheaper to do business with Mexican factory workers as opposed to American laborers.
The UAW insisted that auto companies don’t need to run to Mexico because they can afford to pay their workers high wages.
“They’re making huge amounts of profits,” UAW President Dennis Williams stated. “There is no reason mathematically to go ahead and run to countries like Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.”
Trump has long advocated making deals with foreign countries that aren’t as one-sided as those currently in place. If foreign market places weren’t so attractive, companies would remain in America and employ Americans, helping to reduce the unemployment rate, boost the economy and reduce welfare and other expenditures.
Share this on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think of Ford’s decision to increase Mexican production.

Donald Trump Bobblehead

Love him or hate him, you can't deny that Donald Trump's candiacy has added a very facinating and entertaining new twist to this election cycle. While hardly considered a viable candidate at the beginning, Trump has taken the Republican electorate by storm and is still climbing higher and higher in the polls.

While the Trump campaign continues to gain momentum, his haters get more vicious and his fans get more rabid. Anyone who falls into the "fan" side of the aisle will absolutely love this high-quality bobblehead of the Donald himself. Who knows, maybe even the haters will want one too?

Supreme Court threatens Obama's climate agenda

King Obama’s Royal Declaration: “I can do whatever I want” -
[King Obama’s Royal Declaration: “I can do whatever I want”
Oooop's maybe not self appointed el King for life!  Or would that be fake Harvard Law professor? Y'all be the Judge ha


President Barack Obama will leave office next January with the fate of one of his biggest environmental achievements hanging in the balance.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday took the unusual step of blocking EPA's landmark carbon rule for power plants, throwing into doubt whether Obama's signature climate change initiative will survive a legal battle before the high court.
The decision to grant the stay is no guarantee the justices ultimately will strike down the rule, but the development is a bad sign for EPA's chances, and the agency's foes quickly cheered the news, with West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey calling it a "great victory."
"We are thrilled that the Supreme Court realized the rule's immediate impact and froze its implementation, protecting workers and saving countless dollars as our fight against its legality continues," he said in a statement.
The Supreme Court issued its short order putting the Clean Power Plan on hold at the request of states and companies that had asked the high court to intercede early - even though a lower court had already declined to do so.

The ruling was on a 5-4 vote, with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan - the court's liberal wing - lining up against staying the rule.
Environmentalists quickly downplayed the stay, noting that it did not come to any conclusions about the legality of the rule itself.
"The Clean Power Plan has a firm anchor in our nation's clean air laws and a strong scientific record, and we look forward to presenting our case on the merits in the courts," said Vickie Patton, the Environmental Defense Fund's general counsel.

The White House and EPA did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The justices did not explain their decision, but the order indicates they believe the rule threatens imminent and irreparable harm. The states and groups challenging the rule noted that the Supreme Court last year identified a major flaw with an EPA regulation limiting mercury emissions from power plants only after that rule had started to take effect, and they urged the justices not to allow something similar to happen with the carbon rule.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has put the case on a fast track, with oral arguments scheduled for June 2. That indicates a ruling from that court in late summer or fall, and tees up a Supreme Court appeal for as early as 2017.

"The stay is a signal the Supreme Court has serious concerns with the Power Plan," said Mike Duncan, head of the coal-supported advocacy group American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.
Coal-heavy utilities, mining companies and 27 states are among those suing to reverse the rule, which opponents say exceeds EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act.
The stay may only delay implementation of the rule by two or three years if EPA eventually triumphs at the Supreme Court. But it will keep the rule on hold into the next administration, increasing the chances that it could be undone if a Republican is elected to the White House this year.

At the very least, some efforts to replace power plants' coal with cleaner-burning natural gas and carbon-free wind and solar power are likely to be delayed. And the stay could foreshadow an eventual court decision tossing out the rule altogether, which may severely limit how far the government can go in curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
This is not the first big Obama environmental rule to be stayed during litigation. In late 2011, just two days before it was to take effect, the D.C. Circuit put a stay on EPA's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which targets pollutants like nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide that float downwind across state lines.
The circuit later struck down the rule - but the Obama administration appealed to the Supreme Court and ultimately won the case 6-2, and the rule took effect three years after its original start date.

With the rule's legal defense stretching into the next administration, the possibility of a Republican president casts a thick fog over the regulation's future. All of the GOP candidates have repudiated the rule as a threat to the economy and vowed to overturn it, and a Republican president would have several avenues for kneecapping the Clean Power Plan, including simply accepting a possible circuit decision to strike down the rule without filing an appeal - a more likely outcome after Tuesday's stay.
Environmental groups have quietly prepared for that possibility by preserving their own right to defend the rule in court.
A combination of Supreme Court rulings and scientific findings is likely to eventually compel EPA to regulate power plants' greenhouse gas emissions in some manner, though the extent of such regulations is up in the air.

In the meantime, EPA's foes will double down on their efforts to get the Clean Power Plan tossed out for good. Critics argue that the Clean Air Act does not allow EPA to require tools such as renewable energy mandates to control pollution, and they say the agency's authority is limited to cutting emissions from coal plants themselves.
EPA counters that the law allows it to choose the best path forward, and that the agency should receive deference to interpret conflicting statutes that were passed by Congress and signed into law.
Coal producer Peabody Energy, represented by liberal law icon Laurence Tribe, has also raised several constitutional concerns over the Clean Power Plan, though it remains unclear whether the courts will be receptive.

QUESTION: Would Our Founders Be Considered ‘Extremists’ Today?

Do you think that the mainstream media would love our Founding Fathers if they were here today?


by Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge
Stand on a street corner—or in a courtroom, at a city council meeting or on a university campus—and recite some of the rhetoric used by the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, John Adams and Thomas Paine without referencing them as the authors.
For that matter, just try reciting the Declaration of Independence, which rejects tyranny, establishes Americans as sovereign beings, recognizes God as a Supreme power, portrays the government as evil, and provides a detailed laundry list of abuses that are as relevant today as they were 240 years ago.
My guess is that you won’t last long before you get thrown out, shut up, threatened with arrest or at the very least accused of being a radical, a troublemaker, a sovereign citizen, a conspiratorialist or an extremist.
Try suggesting, as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin did, that Americans should not only take up arms but be prepared to shed blood in order to protect their liberties, and you might find yourself placed on a terrorist watch list and vulnerable to being rounded up by government agents.

“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms,” declared Jefferson. He also concluded that “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Observed Franklin: “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!”
Better yet, try suggesting as Thomas Paine, Marquis De Lafayette, John Adams and Patrick Henry did that Americans should, if necessary, defend themselves against the government if it violates their rights, and you will be labeled a domestic extremist.

... REPLACE LINDSEY GRAHAM [MEDIA] - Secrets of the FedSecrets of the Fed
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham recently proposed a bill that is in clear violation of the Constitution.
His bill would give the President the power to fight ISIS “whenever, wherever, and however.” But the President is not a king; Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution says that Congress shall have the power “To declare war.” Congress and Congress alone may constitutionally declare war. The President has the power to direct and command troops after an official declaration of war, per Article 2, Section 2; but he does not have the power to declare war.
Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy said: “This resolution is a total rewrite of the war powers clause of the United States Constitution. Let’s be clear about that. It is essentially a declaration of international martial law, a sweeping transfer of military power to the president that will allow him or her to send U.S. troops almost anywhere in the world for almost any reason with absolutely no limitations.”
One of the most devastating attacks on the checks and balances of our Constitution was when in 2002, Congress voted to give the President the power to declare war on Iraq. In fact, the last Constitutional war was World War II; the so called “wars” in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, and the Persian Gulf were simply Congress giving the President the authorization to invade countries without officially declaring war. These technically illegal “wars” caused the death of over 119,000 American citizens. 


We certainly should have learned our lesson after 119,000 innocent lives have been lost in the Middle East and beyond. While I am no friend of ISIS, I cannot see our country crumble into a monarchy, with the President being able to order Americans to go and fight in violation of the Constitution. Only Congress can declare war, and even Congress must be hesitant to go into conflicts. Our leaders should take advice from the Scriptures, and “as far as it depends on us, live at peace with everyone.” Senator Graham’s bill takes us one step closer to tyranny.

Rubio is Right: Obama Knows What He’s Doing

rubio
via:FixThisNation


It got buried underneath Chris Christie’s jabs about memorized talking points, but there was an interesting sub-debate about Barack Obama at Saturday’s Republican debate. Namely: What is it that has made Obama such a terrible president? Is he foolish and incompetent, as many of the GOP candidates argued? Or is he a liberal mastermind doing everything he can to make America unrecognizable?
Near the beginning of the night, Sen. Marco Rubio said, “Let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing. Barack Obama is undertaking a systematic effort to change this country, to make America more like the rest of the world.”
After some back and forth with Christie, Rubio repeated his contention. “I think this is an important point,” he said. “We have to understand what we’re going through here. We are not facing a president that doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows what he is doing. That’s why he’s done the things he’s done.”
Later in the night, Donald Trump joined in on the fun. “Marco said earlier on that President Obama knows exactly what he’s doing, like we have this president that really knows. I disagree, respectfully, with Marco,” said Trump. “I think we have a president who, as a president, is totally incompetent, and he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I think he has no idea what he’s doing. And our country is going to hell. So, I just want to say, we disagree on that.”

Allowing for the obvious missteps – mostly involving the Middle East – Rubio is closer to the truth here than those who insist Obama is an idiot. Obama’s fundamental worldview may be that of an idiot, but most of what he’s done over the past seven years has been the result of calculation and deceit, not blind blundering.
That kind of rhetorical distinction may not mean much when it comes to choosing a Republican nominee, but it’s a crucial point for undecided voters in November. Our country is not in trouble because Obama was too inexperienced for the job; if anything, we should be thankful that he is not politically skilled enough to see his dark vision through to completion. At this point, he has vastly more presidential experience than anyone on the stage. Yet does anyone think he’s a better president today than he was in 2009? If anything, he’s worse. His experience has made him arrogant. Give his agenda to someone who’s better at getting things done and the situation gets even worse. The last thing our country needs is a more competent version of Barack Obama.
On a debate stage, dismissing the president as an imbecile plays well, and of course there is a long tradition of calling our president’s intelligence into question. But when we get past the easy applause lines, the truth is clear. Obama may not be anyone’s idea of a genius, but the steps he’s taken to weaken America have not been the result of stupidity.
The voters who (twice!) elected him on the other hand…

By Joe Schaeffer  
Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie has been a strong critic of Hillary Clinton, but a photo posted to Twitter Monday appears to show him about to give the Democratic candidate a hearty hug in New Hampshire.

The Daily Caller reports a Marco Rubio supporter posted the photo of the two meeting on the set of CNN's "State of the Union," where they each made an appearance on the Feb. 7 edition of the Sunday talk show.

The Daily Caller's Kerry Picket notes the photo contradicts the Christie campaign's representation of the meeting between the two in a tweet as "a tension-filled foreshadowing of what to expect" from a Christie-Clinton duel for the White House.


Last Wednesday, Christie declared that he was the man to take Clinton down in a general election, saying he would "beat her rear end," CNN reports.
Special:
"You know the last person she wants to see on that stage in September? You're looking at him," Christie told an audience in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
