I Am Confused

Surprised that I have not read this on a few other sites. Soylent Green posted it yesterday, the story linked to a sarcastic article from the Canada Free Press on the issue so I was a bit apprehensive on the actual order. With magic of the internet I was able to see that it was indeed true, but from what I am reading, industry leaders are happy about the order.

Maybe you guys can help me out on this one. More regulation and more federal agencies including the EPA are being tasked to by-pass state authority and regulate on their own. WTF?
If the way I am reading this is accurate, it is more Obama administration having the power to govern private industry. Which would lead me to beleive that the practice of fracking could and will be eliminated.

So what is it? A good or bad thing? Below is a list of agencies tasked with helping states regulate, and under it is a few links to articles praising the order.

  • the Department of Defense
  • the Department of the Interior
  • the Department of Agriculture
  • the Department of Commerce
  • the Department of Health and Human Services
  • the Department of Transportation
  • the Department of Energy
  • the Department of Homeland Security
  • the Environmental Protection Agency
  • the Council on Environmental Quality
  • the Office of Science and Technology Policy
  • the Office of Management and Budget
  • the National Economic Council

From The Hill: Industry groups welcomed President Obama’s executive order to coordinate federal oversight of natural-gas development Friday.
From Politico: The order creates a working group that includes various White House offices such as the Council on Environmental Quality and National Economic Council, as well as relevant cabinet departments and agencies like Interior, EPA and Department of Homeland Security.

 
US Deaprtment Of Labor…Shamefull

US Deaprtment Of Labor…Shamefull

A Government agency that is supposed to be apolitical shows it’s true colors, pardon the pun. This women, Hilda Solis, has been appointed by the POTUS to run this department as an unbiased department head of a federal agency.
How does this feel? And NO kiss!|

President Barack Obama’s labor secretary, Hilda Solis, has authorized new posters in elevators throughout the Department of Labor’s Washington, D.C. headquarters building. The posters feature a photo of her marching in protest alongside the Rev. Jesse Jackson and MSNBC television host Rev. Al Sharpton, among others.

The photo depicts Solis acting as an emissary of the Obama administration protesting against Alabama’s strict new law combating illegal immigration. Solis has her arms locked with Sharpton, and Jackson is a few feet away. The poster also carries a message for federal government employees — who are traditionally expected to be apolitical in the performance of their duties.

“Whether we take to the streets or simply do our work with integrity and commitment here at the U.S. Department of Labor,” the poster reads, above Solis’ signature, “We are all marching toward the same goals: safer workplaces, fair pay, dignity on the job, secure retirement and opportunities to make a better life. I believe in the power of collective action.

 Collective action? For Who?

Obama Implements Amnesty Measure for Votes

Obama Implements Amnesty Measure for Votes

Comments 1 comment

In it’s rush to ensure that Barack Obama get’s his second term, the Department of Homeland Security is granting “backdoor amnesty” to illegal aliens from Mexico. The Obama administration began implementing the program in 2010 and has now sent the measure to the Federal Register, which is the daily journal of the U.S. Government.
The measure is called “unlawful presence waiver” and is granted to ANY illegal who can prove they have a relative in the United States.

We are boned!

In its quest to implement stealth amnesty, the Obama Administration is working behind the scenes to halt the deportation of certain illegal immigrants by granting them “unlawful presence waivers.”

The new measure would apply to illegal aliens who are relatives of American citizens. Here is how it would work, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement posted in today’s Federal Register, the daily journal of the U.S. government; the agency will grant “unlawful presence waivers” to illegal aliens who can prove they have a relative that’s a U.S. citizen.

Currently such aliens must return to their native country and request a waiver of inadmissibility in an existing overseas immigrant visa process. In other words, they must enter the U.S. legally as thousands of foreigners do on a yearly basis. Besides the obvious security issues, changing this would be like rewarding bad behavior in a child. It doesn’t make sense. 

The administration also claims that relaxing the rule will also “create efficiencies for both the U.S. government and most applicants.” How exactly is not listed in the Federal Register announcement, which gives the public 60 days to comment. That’s only a formality since the DHS has indicated that the change is pretty much a done deal.

This appears to be part of the Obama Administration’s bigger plan to blow off Congress by using its executive powers to grant illegal immigrants backdoor amnesty. The plan has been in the works for years and in 2010 Texas’s largest newspaper published an exposé about a then-secret DHS initiative that systematically cancelled pending deportations. The remarkable program stunned the legal profession and baffled immigration attorneys who said the government bounced their clients’ deportation even when expulsion was virtually guaranteed.

In late 2011 a mainstream newspaper obtained internal Homeland Security documents outlining “sweeping changes” in immigration enforcement that halt the deportation of illegal aliens with no criminal records. This also includes a nationwide “training program” to assure that enforcement agents and prosecuting attorneys don’t remove illegal immigrants who haven’t been convicted of crimes.

Obama’s $40.00 Savings for Middle Class

Obama’s $40.00 Savings for Middle Class

Remember back in December when Obama was blathering about the 40 dollars a week the republicans are prying away from the middle class if they did not pass the payroll tax cut? (Republicans wanted to pass the tax cut but democrats had an unemployment extension added in the package.)

Let’s assume you fill your tank once a week and the tank holds 30 gallons. The price of gas per gallon during that time was $3.30, it is now $4.70 per gallon depending where you live. So Obama’s payroll tax cut is wiped out by his disregard for gas prices, and we still get the unemployment extensions added to the national debt. HOW DID THAT FEEL?

4.70-3.30=1.40
1.40×30=$42.00

 

New Executive Order…Need Worry Much?

New Executive Order…Need Worry Much?

Anytime Obama is tied to an executive order I get nervous. His administration is full of his appointees with agendas that feed the goal of bigger government. So anytime he makes any kind of move like this it gets your attention. This President does not do things without some ulterior motive, if it does not push one of his agendas, why bother?

I have read on numerous sites that this is just an update to an existing law from 1950 and Ace picked up on one particular article that may make some sense of the order, and why Obama would make it.

PART II – PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONSSec. 201. Priorities and Allocations Authorities. (a) The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:

(1) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer;

(2) the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy;

(3) the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources;

(4) the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation;

(5) the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and

(6) the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.

(b) The Secretary of each agency delegated authority under subsection (a) of this section (resource departments) shall plan for and issue regulations to prioritize and allocate resources and establish standards and procedures by which the authority shall be used to promote the national defense, under both emergency and non-emergency conditions. Each Secretary shall authorize the heads of other agencies, as appropriate, to place priority ratings on contracts and orders for materials, services, and facilities needed in support of programs approved under section 202 of this order.

The section that is emphasised show emergency and non-emergency conditions. If Obama gets his second term with nobody to answer to and no worries about re-election he is free to initiate more radical ideas on the United States and it’s people. One of the left-wing agendas is disarming the American public. The second amendment has been under constant threat from the left but they have no way to get the public to voluntarily lay down their guns. But they can make laws outlawing certain types of weapons, (which they have done with automatic), and it is legal for certain weapons to be confiscated under the law.

Here is where I think this executive order may have a more devious meaning.

If Obama gets a second term, under direction of Homeland Security, he enacts the language in this order to expand the TSA to roads and highways. Basically forming a federal police force that now has the legal authority of search and seizure during NON-EMERGENCY CONDITIONS under the umbrella of the EXECUTIVE ORDER — NATIONAL DEFENSE PREPAREDNESS as executed by President Obama March 16, 2012.

Lets say that there is a crime or assault committed in the United States that kills numerous people and assault weapons and high-capacity magazines were used, along with various handguns. And lets say that congress goes ape shit and under pressure of this heinous act, passes a new law making all sorts of weapons illegal. They can’t go home to home and retrieve these weapons, but there is a government database that tracks who owns what guns because you can’t buy one of these weapons without registering first. Sound familiar?

Now lets say that under the new law, the TSA sets up roadblocks to initiate search and seizure of said weapons even though there is not a national emergency. Well the new police force has the authority because of the “updated amendment to the Defense Production Act of 1950”.

This may be a stretch, but I trust this President, his czars, appointees, and cronies as far as I can throw them. Which is not very far.

Chris Matthews is  Roman Catholic.

Maybe it’s just me, but I was taught to respect my elders, women, and my religion. Apparently Mr. Matthews was not raised that way. I sure wouldn’t screw with karma like that, no matter what religion you are. Read his quote below pic.

“They have three, or two RCs — Roman Catholics running and a Mormon so the three cultists running. I have to pick one of the three cultists as they see them. This isn’t as funny as I’m making it, but it’s ridiculous to pick a guy they really think is the other, the heretic, the Muslim, what a strangest of religious prejudice is at work here, they pick the guy they don’t like to pick a guy they hate worse,” he finished.
