Obama Signs Bill Giving Him Armed Protection For Life
» Obama Signs Bill Giving Him Armed Protection For Life Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
"The irony of Obama seeking to surround himself with armed men for the rest of his life while simultaneously working to disarm the American people via a gun control agenda that is likely to be enforced via executive decree represents the height of hypocrisy.
But it’s not the first time that Obama has lauded the notion of responsible Americans using firearms to protect himself and his family while concurrently eviscerating that very same right for the American people.
During an ABC Nightline interview broadcast on December 26 yet recorded before the Sandy Hook shooting, Obama said one of the benefits of his re-election was the ability “to have men with guns around at all times,” in order to protect his daughters."

Muskegon city planners unwilling to close Pine Street for new county jail; ask for meetings to resolve dispute | MLive.com#incart_river
Planning commissioners Thursday afternoon unanimously voted to table a county request of the city to close off Pine Street from Myrtle Avenue to Walton Avenue.
The street closure would allow the county to build a jail extension on to the current facility stretching across Pine Street and into an adjacent county parking lot, county officials said.
The county’s jail consultant said the street closure would allow for the cheapest construction alternative and provide the safest and most efficient operation of the new jail.

ELIMINATIONIST RHETORIC: Teachers union leader jokes about killing the rich.
But this is my favorite part:
“The thing is, [the rich] think nothing about killing us,” she said. “They think nothing about putting our people in harm’s way. They think nothing about lethal working conditions.”
She cited the fact that not all Chicago schools have air conditioning as evidence that the union’s opponents want teachers to work in dangerous conditions.
Well, that is dangerous when you’re morbidly obese, I guess. (See photo).
Plus this:
Lewis is no stranger to controversial comments. In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, she charged Teach for America with helping to “kill and disenfranchise children from schools across the nation.”
Nice to know that someone like this is playing a major role in America’s public education system."
