EPA Building Full Of Secret Mancaves

EPA Building Full Of Secret Mancaves

Comments 0 Comment

The thing I don’t understand is, if the GSA owns the building paid for with taxpayer dollars, and they are leasing the building to the EPA, I assume the EPA is paying the lease with taxpayer dollars. Seems quite asinine to me. Why not turn the building over to whatever government entity needs it. It is paid for already by us, the taxpayer, so why are we getting double dipped. The original purchase and the lease payment. Stupid.

EPA’s inspector general found contractors used partitions, screens and piled up boxes to hide the rooms from security cameras in the 70,000 square-foot building located in Landover, Md. The warehouse — used for inventory storage — is owned by the General Services Administration and leased to the EPA for about $750,000 per year.

Let alone the fact that the EPA contractor is abusing their privilege, we are getting screwed.

Utah Tells Feds NO On Guns – Colorado Folds

Utah Tells Feds NO On Guns – Colorado Folds

I love this state, it may be difficult to get an adequate cocktail but by God we get to keep our guns, Unlike another state approximately 400 miles to the east, (a hint: it rhymes with Colorado), their story below the Utah info.

According to the Tenth Amendment Center, In Salt Lake City this morning, the Utah State House of Representatives voted to nullify all federal gun laws, rule, regulations and orders on firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition.

House Bill 114 (HB114), introduced by Representative Brian Greene state, in part:

An officer or employee of the federal government may not enforce or attempt to enforce any federal statute, order, rule, or regulation relating to the intrastate ownership, possession, sale, or transfer of a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, ammunition, or ammunition component.

The bill also states the following:

finds that a federal statute, regulation, rule, or order that has the purpose, intent, or effect of confiscating or banning any firearm, firearm accessory, limiting the capacity of a firearm magazine, imposing any limitation on ammunition or an ammunition component, or requiring the registration of any firearm or ammunition infringes on the right of citizens of Utah to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 6 of the Utah Constitution.
effect. The bill will also need the support of all levels of local and state law enforcement in order to be effective.

 

 

 

Now to Colorado:

DENVER –  Colorado Democrats advanced aggressive gun-control proposals after a 12-hour marathon debate Friday in a state wrestling with its history of heartbreaking shootings and Western heritage where gun ownership is treasured by many.

Democrats moved forward with new ammunition magazine limits and universal background checks. But they withdrew two of the most controversial pieces of the package, including a gun ban on college campuses and a measure to hold assault-weapon owners liable for damages caused by their weapons.
A formal Senate vote on the measures is required next week before the bills clear the Senate. Republicans took to Twitter immediately after debate concluded late Friday to urge changed votes by Monday.

Democratic Senate President John Morse claimed victory in the state’s overall gun-control debate, even as he conceded the battle grew ugly.

“Cleansing a sickness from our souls doesn’t come easy. It’s gruesome,” Morse said in a short speech announcing the withdrawal

of his assault-weapon liability measure.


For the last three decades Colorado has been Californicated, glad I be here and not there.


No Such Thing As An Illegal Immigrant…Apparently

No Such Thing As An Illegal Immigrant…Apparently

Obama’s uncle can’t be kicked out after 25 years, what makes you think we will deport any illegal mexican immigrants? Good night Irene!

Despite a deportation order issued against him 21 years ago, Obama, a 68-year-old liquor store manager, stayed in Massachusetts, living and working undetected until Framingham police arrested him in August 2011 on drunken driving charges. He later admitted to sufficient facts in the case and was sentenced to a year’s probation that ends in March. […]

Judge Shapiro, a Republican appointee, is a veteran immigration judge who also handled the deportation case of the president’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango. He granted her asylum in 2010 based in part on the exposure of her case to the media.

The Amnesty Train

Since Obama got the hispanic vote in the last election, the Republicans have decided that they want that future base and are going to climb on board the amnesty train to get it. So as a Republican it apparently does not matter what your constituency wants, but what furthers the goals of the party, even if that means going against the majority of the people who elected them.

Obama and his regime have accomplished what I thought impossible. They are dismantling the GOP by pitting republicans against the other. I know center left, center right, far left, far right has always been a part of politics, but what I find astounding is that the line has not changed, but political extortion has forced the line to be blurred. Republicans are willing to go against long-held principles and propose immigration reform that is clearly left of center. So what does that make the GOP, other than a bunch of spineless cowards I mean? Well, that makes them Obama Republicans, a label that should make most of them vulnerable in upcoming primaries, which splits votes, which in turn elects Democrats. Game changer.

Amnesty flies in the face of our laws. Amnesty in any form benefits the rule breaker and encourages….no….outright emboldens a multitude of people to continue breaking the law. Simply put we will have built a five lane highway across our borders with the promise of immediate citizenship. The people coming across illegally do so with the belief that amnesty is not a dream, but a reality thanks to the rumblings coming out of  Washington DC. Obama’s executive order to halt deportations and put parts of the Dream Act in gear gave him the hispanic vote, of course it did, just like all policies of the left. We will give you “things” that Republicans are not willing to give out.
The Obama house gives out $100 bills on Halloween while the Republican house hands out a Tootsie roll, duh. Problem is the cash Obama is giving out is not his to give, and it will run out eventually. So this Halloween, the Repubicans want to start handing out $100 bills because they want to be popular like the Obama house.

Which leads us to the next problem, who funds the cost of the 12 million new citizens? Are they immediately eligible for social security, medicaid, medicare? Of course they are, along with public education, public housing, food stamps, and a myriad of other social programs.

This is a lose-lose for our country and Republicans have fallen into a well placed trap, like flies caught in a spiders web, they can wriggle and scream all they want, but the final outcome is inevitable, a blood sucking insect is going to devour you. And that my friends is where we are headed.

The Math Just Does Not Work

Assuming the country has a population of 311 million people. Of that populous about 62% are of working age, (Under 65 over 18), that leaves an available workforce of 192 million people.
The federal government employs approximately 10 million not including the CIA, (which does not disclose employee numbers), or FTE’s. This 10 million number is hard to confirm because of all the differing agencies offering civilian contracts still provided by taxpayer funds. It could very well be double that number but for this effort we will assume the 10 mil.
State governments for the sake of argument we will put at 1 million state employees per state. Now, Wyoming has a population of 568 thousand so there is no way that it could have that many state employees, but California has 37 million people and state employees run about 10% of the population on average so once again, we will assume 1 million state employees per each state.

Remember this douchebag??

Available Workforce – 192 Million
State Employees – 52 Million
Federal Employees – 10 Million
Total of private sector employees paying for some form of government – 130 Million

Now we subtract for 22 million currently unemployed which would leave 108 Million private sector taxpayers. Now subtract 10 million illegal immigrants that do not pay taxes we are now at 98 million available people paying taxes for a population of 311 million. And I know that I have underestimated the amount of government employees in some form or another. Oh, subtract 1.5 million currently in prison and you have 28% of the working populace paying for 72% of the remaining workforce. How do you sustain that????

You do have the argument that government employees pay taxes also, but they have been paid by taxes we paid, kinda redundant to count their portion don’t you think? Now add Obamacare and the additional burden of more government paying for more free stuff and….you get the idea.

We are boned and we don’t even know it yet.

Say Hello To 2013

Say Hello To 2013

If you thought 2008-12 was bad…..wait till you get a load of 2013.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I am not one for conspiracy theory. I am one for potential reality, and the reality is that this country can’t sustain the habitual government spending without paying for their irresponsibility at some point in time. The time frame for an economic collapse is unknown, but it will happen. Conservative or Liberal it does not matter, the wheels have been put in motion and it can’t be stopped, we have gone too far down the path.

Keep your eye on California, they have spent and taxed themselves into fiscal hell,  business’s are leaving the state by droves, and  they are upside down in revenue. How many California cities have filed for bankruptcy already? The only way to maintain current obligations is a bailout from the federal government. Our current resident in the Whitehouse and his groupies in the senate and congress are following the same blueprint as California, taxing the wealthy to the extent they take their business elsewhere, and spending beyond revenue.

 The question then becomes, who bails out the federal government? Who comes to the rescue of America? Well, nobody that’s who, and there is your collapse, the death of the dollar, and the beginning of the revolution.
Be prepared. Below is a portion of a story I read today, you can read all of it here.

 

There’s a reason thousands of Americans have been purchasing guns of all description and laying up stores of ammunition and it may go beyond concerns of gun bans. A lot of patriots think that 2013 could turn very ugly, very fast, with fears of martial law, Homeland Security goons, mass arrests, secret incarcerations, and worse. I have doubts about these scenarios, but they have long been a part of the arsenal of oppressive governments.

 

The trigger, however, for such scenarios would be the collapse of the U.S. dollar and there are signs—the massive national debt, the continued government borrowing and spending—that suggest this is a very real possibility. If and when that occurs, all bets are off.

 

What stands between most Americans and those who might wish to engineer the end to the Constitution is the fact that America is home to hundreds of thousands of hunters who comprise, by virtue of being armed, the largest army in the world. A goodly portion of our law enforcement community and our military are going to refuse orders to turn their guns on their fellow Americans and doing so would prove to be unhealthy.

 

Revolution is never pretty, but Americans did it once and can do it again to protect the Constitution and our rights. In a sharply divided nation, however, the level of resistance is unknown when so many now depend on the government for support. Many will prefer their chains.

So it begins. This once great nation is something that I don’t recognize anymore. Americans used to be embarrassed to live off government handouts, it would be a cause for shame to be seen paying for groceries with food stamps, and it wasn’t that long ago.

Those times are gone. Minority groups not only use the government safety net, they take advantage of it, they have figured out how to live comfortably off of it. So why would you vote for someone who would take this stuff away? The simple answer, they won’t. We have gone down a path that crumbles behind us, we can’t go back, the takers vote for the givers.

Want a smart phone, no problem. there’s a government program for that. (As a matter of fact go get two or three and sell the others, you need the cash)
Want to eat steak and lobster and wash it down with a nice bottle of wine, no problem, there’s a government program for that. (We gave you a card so you can use it anywhere)
 Want a flat screen, here ya go, there’s a government program for that. (we don’t care what you spend your handout on, none of our business, we couldn’t track all of it anyway)
 You don’t want to go to work, no worries, there’s a government program for that. (we have plenty of hard workers that will cover for ya)
 You pay no taxes but you want your children educated, piece of cake, there’s a government program for that. (We have forced the school teachers to learn another language to help)
 Want to stay in the US even though you are here illegally, do not fret, there’s a government program for that. (We are working hard on amnesty for you, be patient)
 Want to go to college but you have no money, fear not, there’s a government program for that. (Affirmative Action babay!)
 Need a home but can’t pay for it, here is some paperwork, there’s a government program for that. (make minimum wage? Your approved)
 Need an apartment but can’t pay the rent, go to this line, there’s a government program for that (It’s not the Taj Majal but it does’nt cost ya anything)
 Want your utilities paid, easy squeezy, theres a government program for that. (single mom, oh you poor thing. Can’t let your 12 kids be witout power or gas.)
 Want to go to a strip club or casino, here ya go, there’s a government program for that. (But don’t tell anyone ’cause we don’t want to know how you spend your handout)
Need free health care, there’s a government program for that. (Obamacare duh)

The only reason I held out hope for a Republican victory is because I thought sane people would see the path we are going down and choose a different direction. Boy was I mistaken.
