Biden: ‘The President Is Already Lining Up Some Additional Executive Actions’ for Guns
Because all of my readers — but unfortunately the minority of Americans — recognize that the country is already ruled by Obama’s Executive Orders Fiat.
This article only confirms what we know.
From the WeeklyStandard.com:
Joe Biden says the president of the United States is preparing to take “executive actions” to deal with guns.
Vice President Biden told White House allies in the gun control fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing new executive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voted down a gun violence bill.
On a conference call with “stakeholders,” Biden told gun control advocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on gun control will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; a participant provided BuzzFeed with access.
“Look I know you’re going to say that I’m just being an optimist and I’m trying to put a good face on this. But you know I’ve been around here a long time and we’ve already done, because of you, some really good things,” Biden said. “Number one, the president is already lining up some additional executive actions he’s going to be taking later this week.”
After the Newtown shootings, Obama took a number of executive actions to expand research into gun violence and other areas favored by the gun control community. He took the actions without Congressional approval, leading to outrage by some conservatives.
At one time, we used to have an actual American Press that would be absolutely SHOCKED that ANY president would rule by EO only.
Now, conspicuously absent, the American Media Maggots continue on their glorious journey of fellating Mr Obama daily and purposely killing or minimizing stories that would place their own guilt in jeopardy.
Because now, ruling by fiat is perfectly A-okay with our press in the United States.
I cannot begin to express my disgust.
But, as my readers, you knew this was only a short matter of time.

Senate rejects background checks on gun purchases in 54-46 vote
And Mr Obama throws a hissy-fit in the rose garden.
From TheHill.com:
The Senate delivered a devastating blow to President Obama’s agenda to regulate guns Wednesday by defeating a bipartisan proposal to expand background checks.
It failed by a vote of 54 to 46, with five Democrats voting against it. Only four Republicans supported it.
Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor (Ark.), Max Baucus (Mont.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Begich (Alaska) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) voted against it. Reid supported the measure but voted against it to preserve his ability to bring the measure up again.
GOP Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Susan Collins (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Mark Kirk (Ill.) voted “yes.”
Imagine. The bill was so bad that five Demorat senators actually voted against it. But fear not, because John McCain (D) voted for the bill.
What appeared to be a likely victory for the president was resoundingly defeated by the Senate as jittery Democrats facing tough reelections next year joined nearly the entire Republican conference.
From Politico.com:
Defeated and angry — and surrounded by Newtown families, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and Vice President Joe Biden — Obama vowed to continue the gun control fight as he castigated senators who sank the bipartisan background checks proposal. He walked to the podium with his arm around Giffords, critically wounded in the 2011 mass shooting outside a Tucson supermarket, and hugged relatives of victims of the December Newtown shooting who attended the event.
See the video above. It was, in a word, demagoguery.
And for roughly the fifth time, let me be perfectly clear with regard to my stance on gun control laws: I will not now, not ever, sacrifice my Second Amendment rights for children. Not for one child; not for a hundred. I won’t sacrifice them for me, I won’t sacrifice them for you.
Let’s be frank. Gun violence deaths predominantly occur in melanin-enhanced communities whose male youths have no regard for themselves or others, or human life in general. These shootings occur in communities where the populations are shoved into econo-box living circumstances, in urban environments. These areas are overarchingly Demorat/Leftist controlled politically. There isn’t a Republican or a Conservative within miles.
The bulk of America, via Gallup, isn’t worried about gun violence (4%). It’s mostly worried about the economy and about jobs. It is DC that is making the current Talking Points about guns, because they are taking advantage of the Useful Idiots who would so readily toss away their freedoms for a modicum — and a very poor one at that — of security.
The Obaka Administration operates only via crisis. It’s this crisis or it’s that crisis. There is no planning, only Management By Crisis. And those events portrayed as crises are mostly not. The “gun issue” is not a crisis. It is a diversion and it is a naked attempt to reduce the freedoms of citizens and an attempt to corral power and control in DC.
The bombing in Boston? That is not a crisis. More people were killed in the two neighboring counties, in one day, in vehicle accidents than at the Boston Marathon.
Yet, because of the Pussification of America, weak-kneed Americans are more than willing to swallow the pill of defeat and demand more cameras, more checks, more abrogations of our Civil Rights, in order to feel “secure.” FEEL. The operative word. Emotions, once again. But, in truth, what HAS the TSA and Homeland Security done to make us more secure? Oh yes, except to spend more billions of dollars and to reduce individual freedoms.
Your freedoms are at stake here, ladies and gentlemen.
Today, we “won” one.
But please note who voted to give away your rights.

Proof: too many people don’t deserve their freedoms and are too stupid to be trusted with a vote
Proof that a frightening number of people are roughly as intelligent as the average ficus. In truth, that may be an insult to the ficus.
From InfoWars.com — because you NEED to see every one of these videos.
April 12, 2013
Media critic and social analyst Mark Dice shows how people are literally in a trance as he gets people to sign a petition banning their birthrights. The public’s zombie-like mental state is what will allow Obama to get his gun ban through.
In the video below, Mark shows how ill-informed people really are as they comment on news stories about the U.S. nuking China, and China nuking Russia (both of which never really happened).
Recently, Infowars reporter Lee Ann McAdoo was also able to find people that were willing to sign a petition calling for the outright ban of dihydrogen monoxide… which is actually just an uncommon name for water.
Ladies and gentlemen, the people interviewed here aren’t gangbangers. They aren’t illegal Mexicans who can’t speak English. They aren’t tribesmen from Ethiopia. They aren’t the Bantu or the Lebanese. They aren’t even Klingons. They are American who were educated in public schools. I’d wager a number of them acquired so-called “higher education” in our colleges or universities.
Despite that, they are this incredibly, famously, abjectly — I can think of no other word — stupid.
Clear and present evidence as to how Mr Obama got elected, and why our nation finds itself in its current state.

Revealed: Obama to collect record taxes in 2013
From the WashingtonExaminer.com:
The federal Treasury expects to collect a record $2.712 trillion in taxes on Americans and U.S. business this year, shattering the 2007 high of $2.5 trillion in taxes.
Despite the sputtering economy and sustained high unemployment, the fine print in President Obama’s budget belatedly presented Wednesday revealed that the administration expects to take more in taxes than the Congressional Budget Office projects. CBO put the 2013 estimate at $2.708 trillion.
But wait; weren’t and aren’t we consistently told by Mr Obama that we need to pay more taxes because — well — we are simply undertaxed, one and all? Don’t more of us have to step up to the plate in order to keep a morsel of food in the mouths of starving American children?
That said, how can it be that we are set to collect more taxes for this country than in its entire history?
Somehow, those two concepts simply don’t equate. They don’t make sense. They are, shall we say, incongruent.
On any number of levels.
First, let me pull out some basic stops. There is an American Myth of “starving children.” I call bullshit. There are no “starving children” in this nation. Instead, there are obese children and their equally obese parents or, in the case of many, parent (singular). I don’t see Biafran-like children skelled over on the sidewalks of our cities. I don’t see the skeletons of starved infants splayed across the venues of our American Media Maggots because — if there WERE — you would see such a thing heralded and trumpeted not just for weeks but for months on the DEM/AMM channels ad nauseum.
This trumpeting doesn’t occur because the situation doesn’t exist.
The so-called “poor” in this nation drive a Lexus, possess an EBT card which yields lobster. Check the receipt below.
They have their housing subsidized, their healthcare subsidized, their furniture subsidized, their children subsidized, possess a smartphone, a flatscreen TV, the internet subsidized, free schooling, free breakfasts, lunches and dinners for their children, free transportation, and free higher education. And they don’t quite have to work if they feel diffident about it.
They possess sufficient time to war upon themselves, copulate readily and produce banks of children at will who become abandoned to the state when convenient, are responsible for nothing, are considered an entirely victimized class, are soothed and coddled and expected to produce or support nothing.
They, literally, have no expectations whatsoever placed upon them save that of the unresolved victim class. They have their Victimhood hammered into their heads at all levels and for many years.
They are a Permanent Underclass and raped by the Leftists and Demorats who purposely support their ignorant, arrogant and barbaric ways. These denizens have their ruffled fur smoothed, licked, groomed, and their ticks eliminated by the Taxpayers of our nation. And they get testy when their fur isn’t sufficiently clean in a remarkably small amount of time.
But isn’t it odd that this seeming “underclass” possesses material goods and objects of a much higher level than I possess as an American Taxpayer?
And yet, Mr Obama and his minions are shouting to the treetops that we need — we must — make the minimum wage a “living wage.”
Because, after all, the ignorant tattooed and pierced shite who presses the CHEESEBURGER icon at McDonalds should and must make as much money as an entry-level firefighter, say.
In an “equal world,” after all.
