Sword-at-the-Ready image
Obama and associates have taken over your healthcare and made the IRS gestapo more powerful. It has given unconstitutional authority to the FCC and EPA. Obama has bypassed regulations and Congress by making millions of lawbreakers citizens. Now, through the FCC, he plans to take over the Internet – the last free enterprise. The FCC will regulate the Internet under rules written for monopoly utilities. The ruling plan has been kept secret and no details of the proposed takeover has not been revealed to Congress. The new regulation is supposed to be more than 300 pages. Big Government has taken over our economy, which includes healthcare that represents one-fifth of US gross national product.

The Amazing Cephalopod in the News

Wikipedia file photo
The amazing octopus was featured in a news story a few hours ago, so I thought to share it with you.
While in the Mediterranean area for 4.5 years, one of my favorite dishes was octopus salad, a favorite among the locals in Greece, Spain, and Turkey as well as other Mediterranean restaurants who serve it as their specialty for tourists.
The octopus is a remarkable creature, member of the invertebrate family of species, cephalopod mollusc, Octopoda; it is one of the most intelligent and adaptable creatures found in marine waters. It defends itself by expulsion of ink and using camouflage, as well as the ability to jet quickly into hiding places. Having a hard beak that can break hard shells of crabs, they are also venomous, but only one specie is known to be deadly to humans: the blue-ringed octopus. There are about 300 species, which is one-third of the total number of known cephalopod species.

US Embassy in Yemen: US Marines Told to Surrender Arms by State Department

What Obama does not understand is that an attack on anyone's embassy where diplomatic core reside is an act of war - even a threat of an attack.

Prime Minister of Israel to Visit Next Month to Address Congress and Americans

Keith Koffler wrote an article about Prime Minister Netanyahu and his visit next month to address Congress.
President Obama has insulted Israel and their prime minister since 2009. Our president is more cordial to Iran's leadership, whose Islamic clerics have declared war upon the United States, funded and supported Jihadists, and whose agenda is to destroy Israel.
PM Netanyahu is coming here to make a case to Congress and the American people about saving his country, and as Koffler wrote: “And ours”.
Netanyahu and Israel's intelligence believe that Obama's deal with Iran will not stop its nuclear warfare program; indeed, it will boost it.
