Obama’a handlers are trying to shut down the voices that can reveal what really went down in Benghazi. My take is that Ambassador Stevens was allowed to be murdered because he was probably overseeing illegal arms deals. Just saying!
Maj. Gen. Ralph Baker, commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, was fired March 28, according to a Washington Defense official.
The command is headquartered in Djibouti and runs U.S. military operations in East Africa, including some counter-terrorism operations.
Baker, a two-star general, is appealing the firing, which was ordered by his boss, Gen. Carter Ham, the commanding general of all U.S. military operations across Africa.
He was relieved of his duty for loss of confidence, three Defense officials told CNN.
It was second embarrassing dismissal of a high ranking officer involved in the U.S. military hierarchy in Africa in five months.
Gen. William “Kip” Ward, the first four-star general to command U.S. military operations in Africa, was demoted for excessive spending from duty at U.S. Africa Command (Africom).
He lost one star and retired a lieutenant general.
Ward used his rank to shuttle his wife on shopping sprees, enjoyed a lavish beachfront trip and once accepted a Defense contractor’s gift of going backstage to meet actor Denzel Washington.
There are reports that two high-ranking military officers, Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette and General Carter Ham, were fired by Obama for wanting to come to the assistance of the beleaguered U.S. missions in Benghazi.
Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other crimes, two new studies of government data show.
Yet few Americans are aware of the dramatic drop, and more than half believe gun crime has risen, according to a newly released survey by the Pew Research Center.
In less than two decades, the gun murder rate has been nearly cut in half. Other gun crimes fell even more sharply, paralleling a broader drop in violent crimes committed with or without guns. Violent crime dropped steeply during the 1990s and has fallen less dramatically since the turn of the millennium
The victims of gun killings are overwhelmingly male and disproportionately black, according to Bureau of Justice Statistics and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
Why bombs were blasting in Boston, Barry Obama was busy bailing out the elected bums in congress. Sadly, I don’t think anything short of a large sink hole opening up and swallowing D.C. will stop these criminals.
Obama Signs Law Gutting Insider Trading Regulations For Congress

Yesterday President Obama signed a law that gutted the reporting requirements originally included in the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. Before these changes were made the STOCK Act required congressional staffers to disclose their finances to the public to help ensure they were not engaging in corrupt practices.
But on second thought, President Obama and Congress decided that congressional staffers should be able to escape transparency.
President Obama quietly signed legislation Monday that rolled back a provision of the STOCK Act that required high-ranking federal employees to disclose their financial information online.
The White House announced Monday that the president had signed S. 716, which repealed a requirement of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act requiring the disclosure, which had previously been delayed several times by Congress.
You never heard of this political project to reinstate corruption incentives? Don’t be surprised.
Both chambers of Congress quickly — and near silently — approved the repeal legislation at the end of last week by unanimous consent, just before heading home to their districts.
That’s right. Unanimous consent, no one wanted to put their name down as openly supporting corruption while supporting corruption. And now President Obama has signed the bill guaranteeing a more corrupt Washington.

While surfing around the net, I came across an interesting series of pictures. I have no idea if they are legit. What I find interesting is how easy it is for an individual, group, or government to manipulate information.
Just kicking around the crap that went down in Boston, when this nugget jammed the wheels up in my noggin:
I was just thinking about the drop in the gold price, and this happens in Boston. Then I hear the families from the Sandy Hook shootings were in the stands. Though it might a kwinky dink, there are several hot/popular issues colliding at once: Financial, guns, sports, immigration(Saudi suspect) and terrorism. It draws the interest of almost every American. Is there something that the nefarious powers that control our government want is to miss? Just asking questions that the media should be asking.
For a simple guy who enjoys a ton of beer, and scratching puppy bellies, I often see connections in daily events. find it interesting that trillions of bucks have been spent on the DHS, but Boston still gets hit. We had an Army Sargent screaming Allah Akbar while on a killing spree on base, but it was deemed as work site violence. When an officer and his wife is killed in Texas, in with hours Aryan Nation groups are suspected. Then congress acted today, like greased lighting to stop a bill that would force them to post their personal financial wheelings and dealings.
I can’t quite put my mitts on it right now, but something is about to hit the barn roof. What it is, and how much of it, is the 100 dollar question.
April 15th, the last day suck it up, and watch your hard-earned dollars to taken from you. It has been one hundred years since the passage of the unconstitutional amendment was passed. The Revenue Tax of 1812 was put into place to help fund the Civil War. As I have said before, the war was much more than just abolishing slavery! A long story made short, thanks to the Progressives and Socialist, not to mention some phony conservatives of the day, got this great devil of an amendment passed.
I have always wondered why we the taxpayer are burden with filing forms and not the government? Why did the feds not go for a Flat Tax? Why? Because it would have limited the influence and control the feds would have over individuals, and the states. It is the same with federal mandated health insurance! It is about control of people and wealth.
This is just my opinion, and a person can spend a lifetime researching and writing on this subject. We are no longer a nation of free-living, independent individualist. We now have a large population of folks who believe the federal government is their god/care giver, and that they are entitled to products and services that they refuse to provide for themselves. Dependency on the government is slavery, something that the Civil War was supposed to abolish.
Can’t believe I am using a title from a Hippie group like the Buffalo Spring Field band. As many of you know, I have taken a huge break from commenting on national politics. While it has been a refreshing break, and I plan to continue to post 99% of non political stuff, I just have to break the silence today.
I have just about resigned to the fact that our federal government no longer answers, no listens to the average hard-working citizen. I believe that the percentage of AHWC is probably no more than 40% of our population. This leaves a huge block of folks that want stuff for nothing, because they believe they are entitled to it. Mixed into this free-loading population, are the folks that are willing to give the fruits of their labor to these bottom feeders. I stumbled upon an article that talks about Repubs and dems, The Gang of 8, who are working on the sham and shaft, known as immigration Reform. Low and behold, Sr Marco Rubio is part of this group of traitors.
It’s also a problem for Sen. Marco Rubio, who is simultaneously helping to write the bill and preparing to run for president in 2016 as a supporter of the middle-class….
This Hillbilly believes we 35%-40%’ers will have to clump together in states like Texas, Arizona, Missouri, and Idaho and work our way into school boards, PTA, city council seats, and so on. Completely purge any folks who are of the 60%ers out of any type of positions that have any say over our culture,values,religion, borders, and language. It will work, because we did it back in 1776.
OK, I said my peace, so I will now go back into political black.
Here I go again pointing out the hypocrisy and ignorance of the C.S.E.A’s leadership.
CSEA’s President Allan Clark To Membership: Thanks For Being Useful Idiots
Well, of course he, and the board of directors won’t say this directly, but this
is exactly what happened in the past election. In his current “President’s
Message” he not so humbly states” Let me take this opportunity to thank each and
every member, and all of the friends and family you recruited, for the amazing
work you did on the recent election.” For one, he darn well ain’t thanking me,
and many of my co-workers in his home district. We understand that by passing
prop’s that raise taxes, we did nothing more than cut our pay. We see through
the greedy B.S. that the C.S.E.A’s leadership shovels. Allan states;” Prop 30
will raise about $ 6 billion for public schools and colleges.” Hey Allan, how do
you know that is the correct figure? Have you figured for the departure of some
of the tax base from California? Businesses and individuals are exiting the
state faster than the politicians, who were endorsed by the C.S.E.A, can steal
their earnings. All the while, the hard-working rank and file of not only our
union, but every working Californian, sees a decrease in their pay. Not a
mention of the increase in health care insurance, or the F.I.C.A. tax increase.
No, we get the same old tiresome bull shit from the C.S.E.A’s board: ” The way
we defeated Prop. 32 sent a clear message to the billionaire financiers, that
you can spend all the money you want (and they did) but you cannot defeat the
heart and soul of the middle class.”
Geez, Marx would be proud of this dribble! Really? Billionaires spending all
they want? Why not? The C.S.E.A. spends millions of dollars collected through
dues on to back their candidates, props, and bonds. And this statement by Allan
really shows the depth of not only his, but almost all of the C.S.E.A’s
leadership: “” We have identified who the biggest donors have been in this fight
and we will be working with our brothers and sisters in the labor movement to
attack them where it hurts the most-their profits.”
Yup, cut into a private companies’ profit enough, and they will leave the state,
close up shop, and cut employees. Which results in less tax dollars. This is
nothing more than ignorance and greed rearing its ugly head, and the face of
this beast: Is the leadership of the C.S.E.A.
If this type of idiocy continues, private sector workers will revolt at the
ballot box. And I think this will include the average, to far left leaning
liberal worker. Never forget, The C.S.E.A. has been successful over the past 25
years getting the candidates and props passed that have put us in this current
fiscal mess. So how do the people who created the mess, know some how have the
solutions? They don’t!
Right to the point: I have no problems with killing Americans, who are fighting with the enemy overseas. In some cases, they are leading the troops. Once an American citizen decides to fight for the enemy, and the faction of Islam we are at war with, is an army, they lose their constitutional rights. Change the date to 1943 and an American is leading the charge in Europe with the Nazis.
Some folks are worried that this decision may lead to the government using drone attacks to kill Americans on US soil. Who needs a drone? The already did this at Ruby Ridge and Waco! As for the ACLU disagreeing with Obammy? The ACLU loves Islam more than the president, or the US.
Yup, ice in Hades,and pigs flying, I agree with this part of the policy.

Just a working class, empty nesting, life long Democrat disgusted with the DNC, the Democratic Party, the ‘RULZ’ Committee and the power brokers who think we should all fall in line and vote for the selectee. Country before party every time!
