Cliven Bundy’s statement dealing with slavery was not intended to be racial.
The forces that control the United States today consider us all slaves.
But since an issue has been made about race maybe we should ask a few questions.
Who profited from the slave trade? Who was responsible for bringing slaves to North America? Who controls America today?

WASHINGTON — Legislation to fast track U.S. natural gas exports moved one step closer to House passage on Wednesday, after modifications brokered by a Houston Democrat.
On a mostly party line vote of 33-18, the Energy and Commerce Committee approved the bill that would force the Energy Department to make a decision on applications to sell natural gas overseas within 90 days. That would, for the first time, impose a deadline on the Energy Department’s currently open-ended process of determining whether proposed exports to most nations are in the public interest.

One of the first states to adopt Common Core standards became the first state to formally abandon the national benchmarks, as Indiana’s State Board of Education voted overwhelmingly Monday for a replacement that will guide student learning for years.
The board voted 10-1 to endorse the new benchmarks to guide what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should learn in math and English, which were created by a panel of faculty from Indiana universities and representatives from science and technology industries. The vote came ahead of the state’s July deadline and could end months of heated debate. Continue reading “Indiana Approves Common Core Replacement Standards”
Federal law enforcement officials are investigating threats made against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the aftermath of his sharp-edged attacks against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, sources said Monday.
Reid has not minced words about Bundy’s battle with the Bureau of Land Management, referring to Bundy’s supporters as “domestic terrorists” and the rancher himself as a “hateful racist.” As he’s stepped up his criticism, Reid has been the subject of threats himself, prompting an increase in his own security detail in recent days, people familiar with the matter said Monday.

It’s impossible to know what portion of the arsenal slated for destruction — valued at $1.2 billion by the Pentagon — remains viable because the Defense Department’s inventory systems can’t share data effectively, according to a Government Accountability Office report obtained by USA TODAY.
