  1. JEB! is imploding. It’s awfully early in the race and he already can’t take the heat. He is hardly presidential material. I expect his departure will come very soon. Good.

    • Maybe you are right BP.
      But “imploding” is a word for people who want him to leave the race, cause they’re scared of him.
      Still “currently struggling” is accurate. The whole GOP, the “America’s business IS business” traditional
      low-taxes, business-friendly GOP is under attack by anarchists who have no values.
      This is going to continue until the anarchists break off and create their own party.

  2. Dum Pecker – You seem to support President Obama –

    This list of his crimes against 25 Violations of Law By President Obama and His Administration
    Obama Administration uses IRS to target conservative, Christian and pro-Israel organizations, donors, and citizens.
    In an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment, the Obama Justice Department ordered criminal investigations of FOX News reporters for doing their jobs during the 2012 election year.
    President Obama, throughout his Presidency, has refused to enforce long-established U.S. immigration laws. For example . . .

    More than 300,000 captured illegal aliens had been processed and were awaiting deportation. But, incredibly, Obama stopped these deportations and ordered the U.S. border patrol to release many of these illegal aliens in violation of law and without explanation.
    Congress rejected Obama’s so called DREAM ACT – which would have granted permanent residency to many illegal aliens. So Obama enacted his own version of the DREAM ACT by Executive Order, thus directly defying Congress. According to Obama’s Executive Order, illegal aliens can stay in America if they are under the age of 30, have been in America for at least five years, are enrolled in school or have graduated from high school, and have committed no felonies.
    Obama has refused to build a double-barrier security fence along the U.S.-Mexican border in direct violation of the 2006 Secure Fence Act. This law requires that “at least two layers of reinforced fencing” be built along America’s 650-mile border with Mexico. So far, just 40 miles of this fence have been built – most of it during the Bush Administration.
    Obama’s unconstitutional assault on your Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
    President Obama issued, in one day, 21 separate Executive Orders that attack and undermine your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
    Especially egregious is President Obama’s Executive Orders amending the ObamaCare law to allow doctors and hospitals to investigate which patients own a gun. This outrageous Executive Order could allow the federal government to track and monitor law-abiding gun owners simply because they sought medical care.
    Obama’s assault on Christians and religious freedom.
    Obama’s Health and Human Services Department has, on its own (without Congressional approval), issued a mandate that all health insurance plans must include coverage for abortion-inducing drugs. As a result, pro-life employers and taxpayers are now effectively required by law to pay for abortions.
    This mandate is an unconstitutional attack on the protections for freedom of religion and freedom of conscience in the First Amendment and the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act. This mandate also directly violates the ObamaCare law enacted by Congress, which prohibits any and all taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions.
    Obama forced ObamaCare on an unwilling public through bribery and lying about its cost.
    Obama managed to secure passage of ObamaCare by one vote in the Senate by bribing senators. He bribed Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska with the notorious “Cornhusker Kickback.” He bribed Senator Mary Landrieu with the infamous $300 million “Louisiana Purchase.”
    In addition, Obama knowingly and blatantly lied to America and to Congress about how much ObamaCare would really cost. The cost of ObamaCare to the American people over the next 10 years will not be less than $1 TRILLION, as Obama promised in his nationally televised speech to the nation. Instead, the real cost of ObamaCare to the Federal Treasury is $2.4 TRILLION, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
    But the true cost of ObamaCare is more like $10 TRILLION when you factor in the cost to the states, the cost to individual Americans who are now required to purchase Obama-approved health plans (the “Individual Mandate”), the cost of exploding health insurance premiums, the $716 billion ObamaCare steals from Medicare, and the increased cost to businesses of complying with ObamaCare mandates.
    Operation Fast & Furious.
    “Operation Fast & Furious” was the Obama Administration’s gun-running scheme that put thousands of American-made semi-automatic weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels and resulted in the death of at least one U.S. Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry. Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress and the public, claiming he didn’t know about his Justice Department’s Fast & Furious operation.
    Congress has now held Holder in contempt for defying congressional subpoenas and refusing to turn over thousands of Justice Department documents on Fast & Furious. President Obama asserted Executive Privilege to try to protect Holder. But for Executive Privilege to apply, Obama would have had to have known about Fast & Furious, making the President as culpable as Holder.
    Investigators suspect that Fast & Furious was an effort by the Obama Administration to discredit lawful gun ownership in America by purposefully creating gun crimes, thus inducing public outcry for gun control. When it put thousands of semi-automatic weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels, the Obama Justice Department knew these guns would be used to commit crimes, perhaps even kill some Americans. Then Obama could say: “See how dangerous these guns are. We must ban them.”

    “Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Imposed Cross-State Air Pollution Rules on the state of Texas at the last minute and without an opportunity for Texas to respond to the proposed regulation. EPA overreach was based on a dubious claim that air pollution from Texas affected a single air-quality monitor in Granite City, Illinois more than 500 miles and three states away from Texas.” (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
    “Department of Justice (DOJ): Rejected state voter ID statutes that are similar to those already approved by the Supreme Court of the United States. DOJ ignored section 8 of the Voting Rights Act which calls for protections against voter fraud, and used section 5 to administratively block measures to protect the integrity of elections passed by state legislatures.” (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)

    Department of the Interior (DOI): Forced Glendale, a family-oriented town in Arizona, to become another Las Vegas against its will by granting “reservation status” to a 54-acre plot in the town, where the Tohono O’odham Indian Nation plans to build a resort and casino.” (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
    Without Congressional approval, Obama gutted the work requirement for welfare recipients passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
    In the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, Obama illegally shortchanged bond holders in favor of Labor Unions, despite U.S. bankruptcy laws that specify that bond holders be first in line to be paid back.
    Eager to use the killing of Osama bin Laden for political gain, Obama exposed the identity and method of operation of the Navy SEALs team that conducted the operation in Pakistan, thus exposing its members to a lifetime of risk because they have been targeted for assassination by Islamists. A short time after Obama exposed the Navy SEALs’ method of operation, 22 SEALs were shot down and killed in Afghanistan. It is a violation of law for the President or any American to reveal classified military secrets.
    President Obama established an extra-constitutional top secret “kill list” of people (including Americans) who can be summarily killed on sight – presumably by drones — without due process. Once on Obama’s kill list, an American citizen can be targeted and executed on the opinion of a single government bureaucrat. That’s not how our legal system is supposed to work.
    Obama Administration officials twisted the arms of defense contractors to not issue layoff notices in October of 2012 so as to avoid causing bad news for Obama right before the election — even though federal law (the “WARN Act”) requires such notices. ; Not only is this a violation of the WARN Act, it’s also an unlawful use of federal officials for campaign purposes.
    President Obama intervened militarily in Libya in 2011 without the Congressional approval required by the War Powers Act.
    Obama knowingly lied to Congress and the American people about the killing of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya. The President and his representatives repeatedly said an anti-Islamic video sparked a spontaneous uprising in Libya that resulted in the killings even though Obama knew that the attack was a well-planned military-style assault by al Qaeda on the anniversary of September 11.
    Michelle Obama’s family trip to Africa in June of 2011, including a private safari at a South African game reserve, cost American taxpayers $424,000 for air travel alone. Mrs. Obama brought along both her makeup artist and hairstylist, as well as her mother, a niece and nephew, and her daughters, who were listed as “senior staff members.”

    • I voted for Romney you dummy.
      But elections have consequences…..and you accept that and start planning to win next time.
      (Big list. Written by people who are so busy being mad at losing, they won’t win next time either.)

      • There has never been a more failed and corrupt administration than owebama’s but the clintons give him a pretty good run. Check out: arkancide.com

        • Sorry bro, I had to cut my investigation of your link off as soon as I read this; “Vince Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy Park, clearly it was a case of arkancide.”

          “Hillary Clinton threatened Barack Obama with arkancide last Friday.”

          I’m actually trying to figure out your mentality but I’m not an expert on the Cro-Magnon Paleolithic Period.

          But I have found out through the grapevine your mom always thought you were the cat’s meow….

          • So. You’ve got nothing to say so you resort to personal insult: How liberal of you.

  3. Black Lives Matter. Presidenc Obama stated that the Black Lives Matter movement is right in calling out a issue in the Black Community. They (BLM) call it police violence or police brutality.

    I would like to ask the BLM are they better off now than they were 7 yrs ago when President Obama took office? The lastest stats show more violent crime and more unemployment in the Black communities. Are they better off now?

    The BLM get on TV and social media decrying the police and saying that they are not getting a fair shake. But yet the police are the only city agency that is present in the black community. (they maybe a fire station in the community) Yet the calls to 911 for this community are at a all time high.

    The BLM has been shown on TV and social media having protests screaming horrible things at the police. In Balitmore that have come up with 9 things that they want the police to do during their protests. Basically let them protest,throw things,destroy property and not be arrested unless the police commander talks to the BLM leaders first. The police should not wearing protective gear or have any specialized vehicles to protect them.

    Since the Ferguson protests the people have been calling for more hiring of minority officers. The Evansville Police Dept is presently taking applications. The people who have been in charge of BLM have they held a rally for potential police applicants? Have any of the politicans promoted minority citizens to apply?

    Louis Farrakhan has been quoted that he needs 10,000 good men to go and kill the white people. It is on you tube. Has the BLM movement responded to this. Do they support what he has said?

    Remember Jesse Jackson famous slogan. “Up with hope and down with Dope”. How does the BLM responded to that?

    No one should lose their lives to violence. All Lives Matter !!!!!!

  4. Hillary supporters… Did you watch the hearing? Let me re-phrase the question… Did you watch the hearing with the sound on? Does it not bother you that she lied to Americans and the families of the fallen? Does it not bother you that the Ambassador requested tighter security 600 times. Six HUNDRED times. Does it not bother you that she ousted a dictator without congressional approval and left a vacuum filled by jihadists (not for nothing – a behavior the Left typically attributes to Republicans and vehemently abhors). Does it not bother you that her BFF Sid was profiting from the mess she made in Libya? But – you’re all OK with everything. Fine. Says as much about you as it says about Hillary.

    • This is what really bothers me Balloonpilot and bear with me while I explain why.

      Although me and the Dixie Chicks were vehemently against the war in Iraq, I was just the opposite in x-ing out Muammar Gaddafi because he made 189 Americans swan dive to their death over Lockerbie, Scotland in Pan Am 103 and it was proven, killed our servicemen in Germany by bombing the places they frequented.

      You would need to search long and hard, (which I do when I feel it important enough,) to find this out, but Shrub, aka W, aka Imbecile and Tony Blair granted Gaddafi amnesty from those crimes so Exxon, BP, Dutch Shell could be awarded oil leases in his then, Kingdom.

      Big O helped bring his Kingdom to an end with losing 4 perfectly great Americans in the process.

      Libya has been a scandal alright and someone named Rice was involved in it named Condoleezza, but as always bro, you are a day late and half a brain short.

      Like Alcoa, “I can’t wait until tomorrow” to see what your opinions offer the world.

      Later….
