The Obama administration is preparing to give the middle finger to the American electorate by ignoring the results of the recently held election and continuing with Obama’s efforts to “transform” America.
The president has been unable to effect much transformation via Congress, so he has once again picked up his pen and is readying a dizzying array of new regulations from a dozen different agencies that will massively increase the burden on American business.

Black Friday – the name elevates images of people standing in long lines, fighting the crowds to grab the best bargains of the year, and filling the shopping carts to the rims. From another perspective Black Friday is the day when retailers try to push their sales to the last limits in order to maximize their profits, i.e. move from red (loss) column to the black (profit).

WICHITA, KAN. When Shane Cox began selling his homemade firearms and silencers out of his military surplus store, he stamped “Made in Kansas” on them to assure buyers that a Kansas law would prevent federal prosecution of anyone owning firearms made, sold and kept in the state.
The 45-year-old Chanute resident also handed out copies to customers of the Second Amendment Protection Act passed in 2013 by the Kansas Legislature and signed by Gov. Sam Brownback, and even collected sales taxes. His biggest selling item was unregistered gun silencers that were flying out of the shop as fast as Cox could make them, prosecutors said later. One of those customers — 28-year-old Jeremy Kettler of Chanute — was so enthusiastic about the silencer that he posted a video on Facebook.

President-elect Donald Trump’s administration will not pursue further investigations of Hillary Clinton related to her private email server or the Clinton Foundation, Trump’s former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday, a significant break from a major campaign promise.
“I think when the President-elect, who’s also the head of your party, tells you before he’s even inaugurated that he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone, and content” to fellow Republicans, Conway said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Continue reading “Trump aide Kellyanne Conway: No plan to pursue charges against Clinton”

The election is finally over. Thank goodness and mercy for small favors. And Hillary
didn’t win, which would have been four more years of the same old nasty, corrupt,
self-serving disaster. So a hearty “Thank God!” for that. And now we are embarked
on another chapter in United States, Inc.—- not American— history.
This is an important distinction for everyone to learn. Continue reading “So Trump is President- Elect”

In his first round of Sunday show interviews since the election, Vice President-elect Mike Pence did not rule out the possibility that President-elect Donald Trump could reinstate waterboarding as an interrogation technique during his administration.
On CBS Sunday, “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson brought up Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his comments Saturday at the Halifax International Security Forum. At a panel discussion there, McCain vehemently insisted that any attempt to bring back waterboarding, which simulates drowning, would be quickly challenged in court, the Associated Press reported.

Donald Trump praised Sen. Charles Schumer on Sunday and took a parting shot at the New York Democrat’s soon-to-be predecessor, Harry Reid.

“I have always had a good relationship with Chuck Schumer,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning about Schumer, the soon-to-be Senate minority leader. “He is far smarter than Harry R and has the ability to get things done. Good news!” Continue reading “Trump: I have always had a good relationship with Chuck Schumer”
