“As commander-in-chief, your actions — or lack thereof — Mr. President, cost lives,” the letter continued. “As you bumble about in your golf cart, slapping on a happy face and fist-pounding your buddies, your cowardly lack of leadership has left a gaping hole — not only in America’s security — but the security of the entire globe. Your message has come across loud and clear, sir: You are not up to this job. You know it. We know it. The world knows it.”

Judge Jeanine to Obama: If Your Goal Isn’t to Destroy ISIS, ‘You Need to Leave the White House’ | Fox News Insider:
"Stop being a spectator, and start being a leader.
What are you waiting for? What is your goal?
Obama: “People like this ultimately fail.”
Wishing and hoping doesn't cut it. Hitler failed, but only after he killed 6 million people.
If you do not have as your goal the destruction of the ISIS, if you do not have the determination, the desire, and the stamina, then you need to leave. I'm not talking about vacation. "

Michigan Loses ‘Right To Farm’ This Week: A Farewell To Backyard Chickens and Beekeepers

Michigan Loses ‘Right To Farm’ This Week: A Farewell To Backyard Chickens and Beekeepers  : "Michigan residents lost their “right to farm” this week.
This is a new ruling by the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Gail Philburn of the Michigan Sierra Club told Michigan Live, the new changes “effectively remove Right to Farm Act protection for many urban and suburban backyard farmers raising small numbers of animals.”
Previously backyard and urban farming were protected by Michigan’s Right to Farm Act but The Commission has ruled that the Right to Farm Act protections no longer apply to many homeowners who keep small amount of livestock.
Kim White, who keeps chickens and rabbits, said, “They don’t want us little guys feeding ourselves. They want us to go all to the big farms. 
They want to do away with small farms and I believe that is what’s motivating it.”
The ruling will allow local governments to ban goats, chickens and beehives on any property where there are 13 homes within one eighth mile or a residence within 250 feet of the property."

Spain’s Skyrocketing Power Prices And Higher CO2 Emissions

Spain’s Skyrocketing Power Prices And Higher CO2 Emissions | The Daily Caller
President Obama once frequently touted Spain’s green energy economy. 
No longer. 
That’s no surprise given how things have worked out for the economically beleaguered country.

According to a new report by the free-market Institute for Energy Research, Spain’s green energy policies have resulted in skyrocketing electricity prices, billions of euros in debt and rising carbon dioxide emissions.

“For years, President Obama has pointed to Europe’s energy policies as an example that the United States should follow,” said IER in a statement on their new study.
“However, those policies have been disastrous for countries like Spain, where electricity prices have skyrocketed, unemployment is over 25 percent, and youth unemployment is over 50 percent.”
......The IER study also notes that Spain’s green agenda was not able to keep its carbon footprint from rising. Between 1994 and 2011, Spain’s carbon dioxide emissions grew 34.5 percent, despite the country’s green push which began in the 1990s.

Holi crapoli! It's us!!!!--------So, Really, Where Is The .22 Rimfire Ammo?

So, Really, Where Is The .22 Rimfire Ammo? | The Daily Caller:
The major domestic ammunition makers have been producing more ammunition than ever.
They are all up in terms of total production—double, and in some areas, triple-digit increases.
They are all running three shifts.
And when it comes to center-fire cartridges, at least of three of the big makers are caught up and beginning to load either new products, line extensions or specialty loads.
Previously, lower-demand chambering or atypical bullet weights or styles were shelved due the time it took to change over the tooling.
Now, on the center-fire side, anyway, the manufacturers can start to really catch up to demand and get to cartridge producing they have not loaded in two years.
But not on rimfire.
Affordable .22 Long Rifle in particular remains like a Bigfoot sighting.
Despite running three shifts—I recently talked with Federal Premium’s Tim Brandt specifically about this—rimfire capacity is at its maximum at the Federal Premium Anoka, Minn., and CCI, Lewiston, Idaho, plants.
The other rimfire makers in the United States (and some overseas) tell me the same thing.
Maximum production is coming out of all them.
And it is not enough.
Demand for .22 Long Rifle still exceeds production capacity.
The problem with rimfire production is that adding capacity is incredibly expensive and not easy.
The machines are very spendy and cannot just be ordered out of catalog.
And then you have to train the workforce, too, after the tooling is in and the plant built.
And there are aspects of rimfire production one simply cannot rush—nor should it, ever.
The priming of rimfire case borders on alchemy, dangerous alchemy.
And priming compound is something one cannot take any safety shortcuts with, period.
That said, more .22 Long Rifle was produced last year than in any other year in the history of mankind. 
And it was still not enough.
So, with demand outstripping supply, hoarding and speculation continue.
Technology, too, has exacerbated the problem.
Social media and instant communication continue to play a role.
“Wal-Mart truck is in. In line now” read a Facebook post from a friend.
And I received a text from another friend recently: “IV: Bass Pro has bricks of Auto Match. How many u want?”

WOAH! Obama Pushes to Let Hawaii Secede from Union

WOAH! Obama Pushes to Let Hawaii Secede from Union:
"Still, despite having no Constitutional authority, the Obama administration is continuing to push the policy change that could have far-reaching effects. It is unclear if even the Congress has the authority to allow such policies; it is, however, certain that the executive branch possesses no such powers.
 While it is far from certain that Hawaii will be granted the right to secede, what such policy shifts are aimed at is creating a wider divide between races and unapologetically implementing a racial hierarchy with native Hawaiians at the top.

At a time when the most divisive president in history pretends to be interested in equality and egalitarian beliefs, it’s nauseating to see his administration stoke the flames of racial prejudice and seek to codify racial supremacy in law."

The Daily Caller Presents The 35 WORST Colleges In America

The Daily Caller Presents The 35 WORST Colleges In America | The Daily Caller:

These schools are not community colleges or bidirectional schools, though. They are all either national in scope or, at the least, they attract students from swathes of the country.

The schools on this list are here because they are the polar opposites of the 52 schools on TheDC’s list of the best colleges. 

They score low in several if not all of the eight overall categories.

OMG! OMG! OMG! Obama needs MY help!!!!!!!
