Whenever he can, President Obama likes to poke fun at anyone who suggests that he’s a closet socialist because that’s what socialists do – they ridicule anyone who tries to “out” them. And yet, every policy he pursues takes a page right out of the socialist/Marxist playbook, and one of them is to ensure that the government controls all forms of education.

Right now, of course, there are thousands of private schools and institutions of higher learning in the U.S., so the government doesn’t control all education, per se. But left-wing career education bureaucrats in government, along with compliant socialists in the teachers unions, do indeed control the vast majority of primary public school education, and it is here where the Obama regime is consolidating its control through a Department of Education program known as Common Core State Standards .   Continue reading “Obama trying to take over public education with ‘common core’ curriculum that teaches socialism”

At a speech in Mexico City, Mexico, today, President Obama discussed the violence fostered by Mexican drug cartels and cited “gun smuggling” as a cause of the bloodshed while omitting the significant role his administration has played in fueling the carnage through Fast and Furious.

Further, speaking to our neighbors to the South, Obama pledged that he would do “everything in [his] power” to pass gun control legislation, possibly signaling an intent to rule via executive order on the matter.   Continue reading “Obama Hints at Possible Executive Order on Gun Control in his Speech in Mexico”

Can It All Be a Coincidence?

(Oct. 1, 2012) — As I noted in the introduction to my book, The Obama Timeline, a jury at a murder trial will often find the accumulated circumstantial evidence so overwhelming that a guilty verdict is obvious—even though there may be no witness to the crime. “The jurors in the Scott Peterson trial believed the collection of evidence more than they believed Scott Peterson. Among other things, the jury thought that being arrested with $15,000 in cash, recently-dyed hair, a newly-grown goatee, four cell phones, camping equipment, a map to a new girlfriend’s house, a gun, and his brother’s driver’s license certainly did not paint a picture of a grieving husband who had nothing to do with his pregnant wife’s disappearance and murder.”   Continue reading “From Obscurity to Power: The Barack Obama Story”

More than 70 years ago, a chemical attack was launched against Washington State and Nevada. It poisoned people, animals, everything that grew, breathed air, and drank water. The Marshall Islands were also struck. This formerly pristine Pacific atoll was branded “the most contaminated place in the world.” As their cancers developed, the victims of atomic testing and nuclear weapons development got a name: downwinders. What marked their tragedy was the darkness in which they were kept about what was being done to them. Proof of harm fell to them, not to the U.S. government agencies responsible.   Continue reading “Fracking Ourselves to Death in Pennsylvania”

If it was ‘stolen’ in April, why wait until now to ask for help?

According to an article on NPR, several anti gun politicians and groups want people whose names appear on the “no fly” list and terrorism watch list to be banned from purchasing guns.

This sounds good on the surface, right? Keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists?   Continue reading “Democrats Want People on “No Fly List” to Lose Gun Rights Without Due Process”

Eight months ago, Cody Wilson set out to create the world’s first entirely 3D-printable handgun.

Now he has.

Early next week, Wilson, a 25-year University of Texas law student and founder of the non-profit group Defense Distributed, plans to release the 3D-printable CAD files for a gun he calls “the Liberator,” pictured in its initial form above. He’s agreed to let me document the process of the gun’s creation, so long as I don’t publish details of its mechanics or its testing until it’s been proven to work reliably and the file has been uploaded to Defense Distributed’s online collection of printable gun blueprints at Defcad.org.   Continue reading “This Is The World’s First Entirely 3D-Printed Gun”

More Americans now die of suicide than from car accidents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a disturbing statistic that some experts say points to the true depths of the US economic crisis.

From 1999 to 2010, the suicide rate among US citizens between the ages of 35 to 64 soared by about 30 per cent, to 17.6 deaths per 100,000 people, a jump from 13.7.   Continue reading “US suicide rates surge, surpass road fatalities”

In a veiled threat directed at Democratic Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas (shown), Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in his role as co-founder of the anti-gun group Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), said last Thursday that any lawmakers who are “going with the NRA” are “going against the lives of our children.” When asked directly if that meant that his group was going to target Pryor, the senior senator from Arkansas, Bloomberg sidestepped a direct answer:   Continue reading “Arkansas Senator Pryor’s Troubles Continue to Mount”

As I previously blogged, the sheriff of Palm Beach County, Florida, one Rick Bradshaw, recently got a million-dollar grant from the state legislature to use to spy on citizens and recruit people to spy on and “report” their neighbors if they think they are too critical of government.  He wants people to report “the guy down the street who hates the government . . .”  Then the governmental critic will be sent for mental health evaluation, and his life possibly ruined.   Continue reading “Will Rush Limbaugh Be Sent to a Mental Hospital?”
