The Hill – by Kevin Cirilli

The Senate is poised to vote a second time on granting President Obama fast-track trade authority.

The House revived the president’s trade agenda on Thursday, passing trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track, and sending the bill to the upper chamber. Previously, a package combining fast-track with a Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) measure was derailed in the House. House Democrats voted against TAA to keep the entire package from moving forward.   Continue reading “Week ahead: Fast-track back before Senate”

In previous letters (sections 1 & 2), I wrote how Barack Obama used fraudulent and ineligible documents to justify his presidential eligibility, though he knew full well he was deliberately deceiving America. I also pointed out that neither the Hawaiian Governor, Neil Abercrombie, nor the Hawaiian Hospital, Kapiolani Medical Center, which Obama claimed to be his birth hospital, would confirm that he was born there. In fact, not one Hawaiian hospital has ever claimed to be his birth hospital. Please allow that last sentence to sink in.   Continue reading “America’s Presidential Imposter – Section Three”

Three GOP senators are demanding Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials explain how 156 undocumented immigrant criminals “incredibly” managed to become repeat offenders — yet were never deported.

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, who chairs the Senate’s Judiciary Committee, reports ICE has disclosed that of 33,007 illegal immigrants with criminal records released from government custody in 2013, 1,000 were convicted of additional crimes — and 156 were then re-arrested and re-released a second time instead of getting deported.    Continue reading “GOP Senators Demand ICE Answers on Repeat-Offender Criminal Illegals”

The U.S. House passed President Barack Obama’s fast-track trade bill, one of the president’s top second-term priorities, with mostly Republican votes a week after a Democratic rebellion almost killed the proposal.

The 218-208 House vote Thursday returns the measure to the Senate, which also voted for it last month. Obama wants the expedited trade negotiating authority to help his administration complete a 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership.   Continue reading “Obama’s Fast-Track Trade Bill Passes House in Second Attempt”

Michael Snyder:  Central banking has truly taken over the entire planet.  At this point, the only major nation on the globe that does not have a central bank is North Korea. 

Yes, there are some small island countries such as the Federated States of Micronesia that do not have a central bank, but even if you count them, more than 99.9% of the population of the world still lives in a country that has a central bank.   Continue reading “Do You Know How Many Nations Around The World Do Not Have A Central Bank?”

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It’s high-tech and certainly controversial, but with the two prisoners from the Clinton Correctional Facility still on the lam an upstate senator says one way to track future escapees is to microchip them.

Bloodhounds and expensive manhunts are so yesterday when it comes to hunting escaped prisoners. That’s the opinion of one lawmaker, who says the state should explore implanting tiny GPS devices under convicts’ skin.   Continue reading “N.Y. State Senator Proposes Using GPS Implants To Track Violent Convicts”

This article is going to detail some of the increased movements by U.S. military forces in Northwestern Montana, particularly in the Flathead Valley as observed by myself and others who live in the area.  Upon the conclusion of this article it would be greatly appreciated for any and all comments to be submitted pertaining to similar movements noticed in the home states of the readers.  With Jade Helm in its preliminary stages, one cannot help but notice these comings and goings.

C-130 Hercules flights are running out of Glacier International Airport on a regular basis, with a minimum of three flights during the day and two at night, the latter usually occurring around 11:00 pm or later.  They usually fly east and cross over the Continental Divide, heading toward Malmstrom Air Force Base.  The helicopters have been more alarming.  For the past two weeks, there has been a minimum of two sorties per night, paralleling the north-south railroad line and following it through the mountains and crossing the Divide.  These sorties bear a minimum of (2) UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, and I have seen as many as (6) per over flight.   Continue reading “Military Movements On The Northern Border: “It Is Reminiscent Of The Soviet Union””

It’s over. Except for a short moment or a wild and self-exhausting governmental mandate (both of which are doubtful), there will never again be enough “good jobs” to go around. That model is gone and we need to root it out of our imaginations.

Sure, there will be some good jobs, but nowhere near enough.   Continue reading “There Will Never Be Enough Good Jobs Again”

U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday extended until late July a deadline for a second vote on legislation central to President Barack Obama’s Pacific Rim trade pact, giving supporters time to obtain more backing for it.

At the same time, further delays will squeeze the time frame for Obama to hammer out the 12-nation pact, a signature project that was dealt a major setback in the House of Representatives last week by the president’s own Democrats.   Continue reading “U.S. House buys time on trade bill until July 30”

Oklahoma Affirms Gold and Silver as Legal TenderThe New American – by Bob Adelmann, June 6, 2014

On June 4, Oklahoma joined Utah, Texas, and Louisiana in affirming that gold and silver coins are (as they always have been under the Constitution) legal tender in the payment of debts in the state. On the surface this seems almost nonsensical: affirming a right that already exists in Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution. But it is much more than that.

Senate Bill 862, which Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin signed into law this week, says, Gold and silver coins issued by the United States government are legal tender in the State of Oklahoma.     Continue reading “2014: Oklahoma joined Utah, Texas, and Louisiana in affirming Gold and Silver as Legal Tender”
