DC: going stupid once more

And again, lawmakers creating bills in DC and making decisions when they have no idea about the contents of the bills themselves.

Orrin Hatch on Trade Bill: ‘I Don’t Know Fully What’s in TPP Myself’

by Alex Swoyer

Democrat Sens. Joe Manchin (WV) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) went to the Senate floor to push for immediate consideration of a bill that would make the Obamatrade text public — right now Congress has to go to a secured room to review the text and can’t take notes out or discuss what is in it with the public. That motion failed when

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) objected, since it required unanimous consent.

The two Democrats even praised President George W. Bush, who released his free trade text in 2001. Today, President Obama, who promised to have the most transparent administration in history, is not releasing his deal.

“We’re just asking for some transparency before we have this crucial vote,” said Warren.

Well isn’t that just the pot calling the kettle black.  However, continuing evidence that the Obama Administration is one of the most opaque in the history of American government.

Opacity indicates to me: corruption, secrecy, fear of the American public objecting to contents, much like the ACA — which will have even more dire future consequences for American Taxpayers.

Hatch confesses he’s ignorant and doesn’t mind making that fact public.

Ironically, Hatch also admits he doesn’t know what is in the TPP deal, while at the same time he objects to the push for more transparency prior to any crucial votes.

“I don’t know fully what’s in T.P.P. myself, and I am going to be one of the most interested people on earth when that comes, if not the most interested, you know, when they finally agree. But there is — it’s still not a completed agreement, as far as I know,” admitted Hatch.

The Dems disagreeing with Mr Obama?

“Secrecy is no good,” Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) responded, backing Warren and Manchin.

Now the question is: will the GOP give Obama what he wants with the trade bill?

Could Conservatives Push TPA Over the Finish Line?

by Matt Fuller

As the House inches closer to a vote on the long-awaited Trade Promotion Authority bill, conservatives who have traditionally been hard-liners in their opposition to deals with the White House are taking a softer approach.

While many on the right are still hedging their position on the TPA, there appears to be some conservative support for the trade process legislation. And with congressional Democrats increasingly taking a firmer line against the TPA, which would give expedited consideration to the Trans-Pacific Partnership under negotiation with 11 other countries, conservatives could be the key to getting the TPA over the finish line.

Translated: those GOP members who embrace the TPP are also those who embrace the obscurity and opacity of the bill itself and the Obama Administration overall.  Good, back-slapping, go-along-to-get-along GOP critters.  Bi-partisan,

Ah, nice to know you can always count on elements of the Old Guard GOP to stand in support of their Demorat brethren and sistren.

Another in a continuing series of reasons I changed from Republican to Independent, and why I no longer write checks to the RNC.

BZ weighs in on the NSA:

Senator Marco Rubio sent out a Tweet:

Marco Rubion Twitter NSAHe was asking that his Tweet be re-Tweeted far and wide.  I refused.

So I responded.

NSA Rubio Re-Tweet

And it blew up Twitter for a bit: “I don’t want to end the NSA; I just want it to do what I HAVE to do as a cop: get a warrant.”

Enough with unlimited government and unlimited monitoring and listening and tracking and oppression and loss of freedoms.

Michelle Obama: still aggrieved

Why?

Because, as some people can’t get past their “beer goggles,” the Obamas can’t get past their race goggles.  They are still aggrieved “African American Hyphenates” who see everything — and I do mean everything — in terms of race.  Which is easily why they are both racists.  And they are racists.  It’s all about identity politics and race baiting.

Obama, who signaled for a “post-racial America,” has done everything within his means and abilities to ensure it is all but.  Without full information, he has accused law enforcement officers of “acting stupidly.”  To even oppose Obama or Eric Holder is racist.  If Obama’s approval ratings are down, it’s racist.  George Zimmerman, despite Obama and Holder’s worst intentions, was found not guilty in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, who became Obama’s flesh: “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”  And Zimmerman, an Hispanic, was always quantified by the AMM as “white” in order to gin up more controversy — of great assistance to the Obamas.

Obama Trayvon FingersObama and Holder sent, literally, hundreds of FBI agents to Ferguson to prove that Officer Darren Wilson was a Caucasoid Racist.  They could prove no such thing.

Mr and Mrs Obama attended the church of outright racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright for years without angst.  Only when it became a “political issue” did they kick Wright to the political curb.  They still believe, however, everything he says and has said.

Obama’s co-racist lapdog Eric Holder was “Chief among antagonists.”

Mr Obama and Poverty/Racial Pimps Sharpton and Jackson saw the fruits of their racial divides paid — ahem — in spades.  Dead cops.  Courtesy of the most transparent administration in the history of America, and courtesy of the “post racial” president.

With an astounding amount of assisted-fellating by the American Media Maggots.

Even today, Monday, Breitbart News indicates:

Cop Killings Nearly Double After Media Launch Hate Campaigns Against Police

by John Nolte

According to the FBI, the number of police officers killed in the line of duty nearly doubled from 27 to 51 between 2013 and 2014. That is nearly one murdered police officer a week during 2014, which was also a little over a year after the mainstream media began its coordinated hate campaigns to demonize America’s law enforcement officers.

The FBI report is a terrible and tragic setback for police officers. Losing 27  fellow officers in 2013 was a tragedy. But it was also a 35 year low. Things were unquestionably moving in the right direction. Since 2011, the number of police officers killed in the line of duty had been on the decline.

Suddenly in 2014, everything changed for the worse. The number jumped back up to the highest number since 2011. What also changed for the worse is the mainstream media’s obsession with smearing police officers as hyper-militarized racist occupiers on the hunt for black men.

“Finally,” Obama is saying behind closed doors to Michelle, “cops and more specifically Caucasoid cops are getting their just desserts.”

Yet, Mrs Obama — having attended an Ivy League school and reached the pinnacle of politics in America, her husband sent to two concurrent presidential victories  — believes America is neither good nor color-blind:

Contrast and compare, Michelle vs Denzel.

Obama-Racist-WordsI am tired of blacks playing the “race card” when it is politically expedient.  It is a wolf’s cry that diminishes true racism.  Racism that can be bidirectional as well — that too few will call.  But I will.  I am beyond tired of being stereotyped as a racist because I am conveniently a Caucasoid, male, older and worse yet, a cop.  I am tired of being told that only Caucasoids can be racist when, in fact, there are multiple continuing examples of racism by a group of persons whom many believe, by dint of melanin count, cannot be racist.  And that is crap is well.

True equality runs both ways.  And until it does and the bullshit hypocrisy stops, I shall continue to provide pushback when and how I deem fit.

The more you push your racist agenda, Mr and Mrs Obama, the more I push back.

Drudge, BZ, your blog threatened

Free Speech EliminatedThe federal government is about nothing if not control.

Control of every aspect of your life, control, monitoring, regulation.

FCC Commissioner: Feds may come for Drudge

by Rudy Takala

(CNSNews.com) – Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member Ajit Pai said over the weekend that he foresees a future in which federal regulators will seek to regulate websites based on political content, using the power of the FCC or Federal Elections Commission (FEC). He also revealed that his opposition to “net neutrality” regulations had resulted in personal harassment and threats to his family.

However, Pai said it was only the beginning. In the future, he said, “I could easily see this migrating over to the direction of content… What you’re seeing now is an impulse not just to regulate the roads over which traffic goes, but the traffic itself.”

Continuing, he said, “It is conceivable to me to see the government saying, ‘We think the Drudge Report is having a disproportionate effect on our political discourse. He doesn’t have to file anything with the FEC. The FCC doesn’t have the ability to regulate anything he says, and we want to start tamping down on websites like that.’”

We’ve seen this already from the federal government, in terms of the IRS terrorizing Conservative groups with threats and actions not directed to any other political community.

Tolerant LeftistsWe’ve seen Holder’s DOJ prosecuting cases based solely on race, at Obama’s direction.  Mr Obama and Mr Holder are two of DC’s Racists In Chief.  We’ll see how AG Lynch does.

“Is it unthinkable that some government agency would say the marketplace of ideas is too fraught with dissonance? That everything from the Drudge Report to Fox News… is playing unfairly in the online political speech sandbox? I don’t think so,” Pai said.

“The First Amendment means not just the cold parchment that’s in the Constitution. It’s an ongoing cultural commitment, and I sense that among a substantial number of Americans and a disturbing number of regulators here in Washington that online speech is [considered] a dangerous brave new world that needs to be regulated,” he concluded.

Those persons who are ignorant of the world surrounding them would be the first to say “that’s ridiculous, you’re paranoid.  Nothing like that could ever happen in the US.”

In response I’d say: “it’s already happened.  Where were you?”

Leftist Thinking In DreadsThe First Amendment and the Second Amendment are interlinked.

Why do you think there is such a push to eliminate the Second Amendment by the federal government, to onerously regulate firearms and ammunition?

Because without the ability to defend ourselves on a civilian level, the federal government, any government, can lay rules and regulations on a population that has no ability to fight back in any manner.

Let me provide further clarity: the Second Amendment, as some think, doesn’t exist solely to enable people to go hunting if they wish.  It exists to keep the populace safe from an overbearing government.

The Obama Regime is leaving in a few years, thank the Lord.  But if another Demorat steps in, you’ll find your fundamental rights challenged once more.  If that occurs, this nation could very well erupt in a fashion no one wants to see or consider.

These things are occurring right here, right now, in the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen.
