Indiana Town: No More Good Friday
As Christmas season begins for countless millions of Christians in America and across the globe, Bloomington, Indiana, announced that it will no longer recognize Good Friday because doing so is insensitive to others.
Inside the plot to rig the Electoral College and make Hillary Clinton president
It happened in 2000 when Al Gore lost to George W. Bush, and it’s happening again now that Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump. Liberals across the country are calling for the abolition of the Electoral College and Clinton to be named President-elect.But while that sounds like an impossibility, there’s a plot brewing among two electors themselves to undermine Trump’s stunning win:
Bret Chiafolo, a Washington State elector who has already declared his opposition to Hillary Clinton, and Micheal Baca of Colorado have launched what they’ve dubbed “Moral Electors,” an attempt to persuade 37 of their Republican colleagues to bail on Trump — just enough to block Trump’s election and leave the final decision to the House of Representatives. They have the support of a third elector, Washington State’s Robert Satiacum.
“This is a longshot. It’s a hail Mary,” Chiafolo said in a phone interview. “However, I do see situations where — when we’ve already had two or three [Republican] electors state publicly they didn’t want to vote for Trump. How many of them have real issues with Donald Trump in private?”
Fact Checking Claiming to Right All The Time
Fact Checking Paul Krugman's Claim To Be "Right About Everything"
But can the debate really be as one-sided as I portray it? Well, look at the results: again and again, people on the opposite side prove to have used bad logic, bad data, the wrong historical analogies, or all of the above. I’m Krugtron the Invincible!
Washington Attorney General On A Personal Mission To Drive Elderly Grandmother Out Of Business?
Excerpt:“A government that can force you to say something and express a message that is so deeply contrary to your core beliefs is terrifying,” Waggoner told me. “We are entering a whole new realm when we force people to express themselves and use their heart, their head and their hands to create something that violates who they are.”
Why does the government consider this grandmother public enemy No. 1?
Feds Declare War on Raw Milk Cheese: Regulation Spoils Acclaimed Wisconsin Cheese
Cheese Lovers Rise Up! One More Step Toward Totalitarianism!
Yup, more Fed over reach. There has never been a problem with these products. However, the truth and the evidence matter not.
The goal seems to be to drive the small, independent entrepreneurs out of business via the imposition of regulations that literally choke the life out of them. Once they are completely obliterated, big corporations and big government will be perfectly aligned for the establishment of an oligarchy; thus, eliminating our freedom of choice in most areas of our lives.
From Ben Swann:
"Just like the FDA’s rule change on curing cheese on wood planks earlier this year, the potential for regulation change doesn’t make producing a cheese that could be illegal once it’s ready to be sold economically feasible.
Wisconsin cheese blogger Jeanne Carpenter explains it this way: “The death of Rush Creek Reserve should act as the canary in the coal mine for all American raw milk artisan cheeses, because just as our great American artisan cheese movement is in serious full swing, the FDA has basically declared a war on raw milk cheese.”
Arrogant government
The proper attitude of government towards its citizens is humility. The State kneels before the people who invest it with terrible authority. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution are full of language that illustrates this relationship, but you don’t have to look back that far, because American politicians constantly cloak themselves in the language of humility. They always talk about how honored they are to receive the public trust, and speak often of the American people as their “bosses.” They are very keen to portray themselves as the instruments of popular will. Few campaign victory speeches pass without the triumphant candidate professing him or herself “humbled.” For that matter, losing candidates usually say they were humbled by the support they received from their supporters.
Lobbying Is A Symptom Of Big Government
A common complaint heard from any side in a
political argument is the outrageous amount of influence lobbyists have in
Washington D.C. The concern is merited, as well: in the 2012 presidential
election, Republican Mitt Romney gathered over $990 million to spend on his bid,
while Barack Obama raised over $1 billion. Representatives from
every industry lobby the government for handouts, subsidies, and
regulations. Cont. Reading
Out of Control Government Spending & Waste; $200,000 for Capitol Hill Bottled Water?
The Congressional Budget Office just reported that in the past two years since
President Barack Obama took office, federal spending is up 21.4
percent.
The national deficit was $1.29 trillion in 2010 (second to the $1.4 trillion in Obama's first year in office, 2009), which means that for every $1 the federal government spent this past year, it borrowed 37 cents of it!
