“No way that Uncle Sam can go find out whether you own a gun because we’re about to really take away all your rights and you’re not going to be able to defend yourself and we’re going to swoop down with Special Forces folks and gather up every gun in America,” Biden added mockingly.

Benghazi: Where the hell were the Marines? Yo! Half our embassies have no Marines | Diplopundit

There is a misconception out there shared by some Americans that when they get in trouble overseas, Uncle Sam will come get them.

That’s wrong. He won’t send a helicopter rescue nor the US Marines, not even if our countrymen are in a foreign jail.

Another misconception has to do with the US Marines. On Wednesday, Senator Rand Paul over in the Washington Times asks, “Where the hell were the Marines?”

The Supremes Have Spoken…

I was hoping against all odds that the will of the people would prevail. However, inside my heart I knew that it was hopeless. Nine impartial and totally objective Americans with no personal interests, outside influences, or opinions have decided the fate of millions of Americans for generations to come.

EDITORIAL: Obama to shoot down armed pilots

The Obama administration’s hatred for the Second Amendment has reached new heights. After nearly a decade of safe operation, the White Houseis looking to reduce the number of pilots who provide an extra layer of security against airborne terror by packing a pistol in the cockpit.

USPS: The Cursed Carriers – Brian Anderson – Mises Daily

From the original conception of the United States Postal Service in the 1700s to the technologically advanced market of today, the words that enumerated to Congress the power to “establish Post Offices and post Roads” have never been more than a waste of ink.

In Uncle Sam, the Monopoly Man, William C. Wooldridge explains well the historical patterns of failure within the United States Postal Service (USPS):

More than a decade before Parson Weems immortalized the cherry tree, the United States Post Office was losing money. For most of the years since Postmaster General Thomas Osborne reported the first deficit to President George Washington, it has continued to lose money, receiving all the while less critical attention than the cherry tree it antedates. Yet the stars in their courses do not ineluctably dictate a government postal monopoly.

Early Americans saw these failures each day, so they became actors working for a change.

The United States has a long and healthy history of entrepreneurial disobedience. You can easily say that the individualistic rejection of force in the marketplace was one of the only real mechanisms of “checks and balances” that actually worked against government.

So opposed were people to these government-run postal services in the 1800s that a natural order kicked in where no jury would even think of convicting the private agencies — an “underground nullification,” if you will. One of the first private American express firms was founded by William F. Harnden in 1839.

Is Uncle Sam Reading Your Email? by Kyle Gonzales

What would you say if I told you that someone in the U.S. Congress was trying to pass a law allowing authorities to access your e-mails or documents stored online for longer than 6 months WITHOUT A WARRANT?

Now what if I told you that you were too late, that it was already signed into law 25 years ago?

The year was 1986. The same year as the Iran-Contra scandal, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and the Chernobyl meltdown. Little did anyone know that a privacy disaster was being signed into law by Ronald Reagan, ironically titled the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA).

The ECPA was created as an amendment to the Wiretap Statute written in 1968. The purpose was to extend the government’s restrictions on wire taps of telephone calls to electronic data transmitted via computer. In many ways the law was very forward thinking and protected a medium of communication that was not yet widespread.

However, this law had a fatal flaw that has come back to haunt us. When the law was written, the Justice Department argued that e-mail residing on a server for long periods of time should be considered “abandoned” and no longer private. This assumption was made because in 1986 e-mail was not stored on the servers for long periods of time due to storage costs. Congress agreed, and set the limit for privacy protections in the ECPA to 180 days. E-mail stored on servers for longer than 180 days could be made available to the authorities with a subpoena issued without the approval of a judge…..

Marines Warned: Don’t Spit Toward Mecca – Diana West – Townhall Conservative

Uncle Sam is getting a little weird. Make that a lot weird. Having dumped hundreds of billions of dollars into a sinkhole called Afghanistan — populated by misogynistic, pederastic, tribalistic and religiously supremacist primitives — to no avail, he has hit on a new plan for winning those ever-elusive Afghan “hearts and minds.”

Image via Wikipedia

Uncle Sam has decided that the answer lies in the latrine with the U.S. Marine Corps. No kidding. When nature calls, Uncle Sam has decided he wants every U.S. Marine equipped with a map and compass, or some other way of knowing direction. This is to ensure that no U.S. Marine in Afghanistan urinates in the direction of Mecca ever again.

Now, there’s a winning strategy…..

Vietnam Vet In Wheelchair Gets $15 MILLION Reward For Busting Medicaid Fraud !

A frail but feisty, partially paralyzed wheelchair-bound Vietnam vet scored a $15 million whistelblower’s reward after uncovering a massive Medicaid fraud scheme — with the help of his trusty calculator.

“From my wheelchair, on a ventilator and oxygen, I have spent the last seven years in this fight. Sometimes, the good guy wins,’’ said plucky Richard West, 63, of Tuckerton, NJ.

The savvy senior said he first smelled a rat when he went to the dentist in 2004 — and was told his Medicaid benefits had maxed out.

West returned home and scoured his own, meticulously kept records, discovering that Maxim Healthcare — the agency that provides his home-health aides — had billed Uncle Sam for care he never got, including coverage by nurses he’d never met.

Maxim — which has 300 offices in 40 states, including New York — was eventually busted for netting a total of $61 million in phony reimbursements.

Under terms of a deal unveiled this week, Maxim, which is partly owned by Baltimore Ravens owner Stephen Bisciotti, agreed to fork over $121.5 million in reimbursements and penalties for the phony Medicaid claims and another $8.4 million to the Veterans Administration.

The Maryland-based company was also slapped with a $20 million fine. The feds added that they will be overseeing its operations for two years.

Under federal law, Richard West was entitled to a percentage of the payback the company was ordered to fork over.

Of his newfound millions, the disabled vet, who’s on a portable ventilator, said he plans to spend it wisely.

“I need a new van, my house needs work, and I’m going to make donations to charities for the disabled,” West said.

Maxim CEO Brad Bennett was contrite in a statement, saying: “We take full responsibility for these events.”

EDITORIAL: Let the gas tax die

If Congress does nothing, the cost of gasoline will drop 14 cents per gallon on Sept. 30. That not only would be a boon to consumers oppressed by hefty prices at the pump but also would go a long way toward ending one of Washington’s favorite accounting gimmicks. The public is supposed to think the 18.4 cents tossed to Uncle Sam for every gallon of unleaded (24.4 cents for diesel) goes to roads and bridges. Fifty-five years ago, it was true that the 3-cent-per-gallon levy went directly into the concrete and steel that gave us the Interstate Highway System. The authorization for most of the current tax expires next month, and Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist fears President Obama will use jobs as an excuse to boost this tax. “His plan is going to be the highway bill,” Mr. Norquist said in an editorial board meeting at The Washington Times. “Everyone wants highways, but you give them the money, they don’t build highways. They build everything but highways.” Out of the $29 billion in fuel-tax revenue collected this year, the Congressional Budget Office estimated $7.6 billion would be diverted into mass-transit projects. That is only part of the problem. One look at the Federal Highway Administration’s budget shows core spending priorities in the “highway” account frequently have nothing to do with highways. For example, the agency allocates $6.8 billion to a “livable communities” program designed to promote a leftist anything-but-the-automobile agenda. Another $8.9 billion will be blown on “environmental sustainability” schemes, and $2.5 billion will go to safety – that’s the code word for paying local cops overtime to set up speed traps and East German-style roadblocks…more

La Raza Group Teams Up With Feds To Push Govt. Aid In Spanish

President Obama’s favorite La Raza group has teamed up with a federal agency to promote one of the administration’s many government cash giveaways with Spanish ads encouraging Latinos—possibly illegal immigrants—to apply for free U.S. taxpayer dollars.

The new campaign warns Hispanics that time is running out to get up to “$50,000 in help” from Uncle Sam to pay their mortgage, past due charges, taxes, insurance and even legal fees associated with their home. The money is being disbursed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as part of a billion-dollar Emergency Homeowner Loan Program (EHLP).

Feds May Act if Florida Stalls on Health-Reform Law

If Florida leaders refuse to carry out the new national health-care law, Uncle Sam is prepared to take charge on behalf of the state’s consumers.

One year after President Barack Obama signed the health-care overhaul into law, federal officials are urging Florida and other reluctant states to shape it to meet their needs and to take advantage of millions of dollars of federal planning grants. Failure to participate, officials warned this week, means a loss of state control.

But Florida Gov. Rick Scott — backed by fellow Republicans in the Legislature who strongly oppose “ObamaCare” — has refused $2 million in federal planning money and ordered state agencies not to implement the law. In addition, Florida has challenged the law in federal court, in a lawsuit filed before Scott was elected in November.

“We believe the federal law is unconstitutional, in which case it won’t be enforced,” said Jack McDermott, spokesman for the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

Washington says phase in health-care reform, or else

By William E. Gibson, Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — If Florida leaders refuse to carry out the new national health-care law, Uncle Sam is prepared to take charge on behalf of the state’s consumers.

One year after President Barack Obama signed the health-care overhaul into law, federal officials are urging Florida and other reluctant states to shape it to meet their needs and to take advantage of millions of dollars of federal planning grants. Failure to participate, officials warned this week, means a loss of state control.

Florida and other states, for example, must show by 2013 they are set up to provide a health-insurance exchange, an online service for consumers to compare coverage plans and shop for affordable rates. If states are unwilling or unprepared, the law requires U.S. officials to step in and make a federal-run exchange available for residents at the start of 2014.

But Florida Gov. Rick Scott — backed by fellow Republicans in the Legislature who strongly oppose “ObamaCare” — has refused $2 million in federal planning money and ordered state agencies not to implement the law. In addition, Florida has challenged the law in federal court, in a lawsuit filed before Scott was elected in November.

Obama Donor Brought U.S. Embassy To “State Of Dysfunction”

Free RepublicBrowse · Search Pings · Mail News/ActivismTopics · Post ArticleSkip to comments.Obama Donor Brought U.S. Embassy To “State Of Dysfunction”Judicial Watch ^ | February 4, 2011Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 5:10:33 PM by jazusamoAn

 

Obama fundraiser awarded a cushy European ambassadorship after bundling more than half a million dollars for his presidential campaign ran her U.S. embassy like a hostile dictator, spent government funds on booze and bullied staff.Here comes the good part. State Department leadership that includes Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew all about it but took no action, presumably because the wealthy donor—a Seattle philanthropist named Cynthia Stroum—is untouchable. At least that’s what an internal State Department investigation seems to indicate.Made public this week, a scathing report of the probe says that during her year-long tenure as U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg Stroum brought the embassy “to a state of dysfunction” with her “confrontational management style” and an “absence of a sense of direction.”

Things got so out of control that career staffers requested transfers to less than desirable locations such as Iraq and Afghanistan.Stroum was seen by most employees as “aggressive, bullying, hostile and intimidating,” according to investigators, who recommended that Uncle Sam deploy medical professionals to Luxembourg to treat high stress levels among embassy employees. Stroum also did unscrupulous things like spend $3,400 on alcohol, even though it’s against regulations.In short, Obama’s cherished money lady left the otherwise quaint embassy in the tiny European country a disaster.

She quit abruptly a few weeks ago because the inspector general’s report—prepared last fall—was becoming public. The State Department has made no official announcement and clearly prefers to pretend the scandal never happened.It appears that those who donate enough money to the right politician can get away with anything at the agency responsible for America’s international relations. At least that’s what its internal watchdog has concluded, that Stroum’s behavior is not unique among “non-career ambassadors” wealthy donors rewarded with plum foreign posts but routinely tolerated by State Department leadership.

Conservative blogger roughed up and kicked out of Van Jones ‘Public Event’

While attending an event billed as “open to the public”, conservative blogger Adam Sharp was harassed, roughed up and forcibly removed.His “crime”? Someone at the Washington University at St. Louis thought Sharp worked for Fox News, and didn’t like the questions he was asking Van Jones – the main speaker at the event.Gateway Pundit reported that “several university officials harassed the citizen journalists at the event.

One university thug even roughed up Sharp and grabbed for his camera.”Van Jones was recently ousted from his White House position as the so-called “green jobs czar” after his admitted communism and 9-11 trutherism stirred controversy.Jones also published an obscenity-laced anti-government rap song in which he called Uncle Sam “the real terrorist.”A group funded by Jones, Color of Change, led a successful campaign to keep Andrew Breitbart off ABC News Election night coverage.

The group is also targeting Glenn Beck and Fox News in hopes of silencing them as well.Sharp attended the event in hopes of asking Jones about his radical views, but Sharp learned first hand the progressive definition of free speech.

KEEP YOUR HAND OFF MY JUNK

Who do you let see you naked?Seriously.Of all the people on earth, which ones do you feel comfortable taking your clothes off in front of?Odds are, the list is pretty short. Odds are, it’s about to get a whole lot longer.

Your spouse, your doctor, and now Homeland Security. In the name of keeping you safe, Uncle Sam needs to see your nasty bits.That’s the bottom line on a new airport security plan that is going to be hard on both budgets and the Fourth Amendment.Here’s the background. The government has developed a scanning device that you walk into and which, by bouncing radio waves off you, is able to take a picture of your body through your clothes.

It is black and white, and a bit grainy, but it is an intimately and anatomically correct.You walk into the device, it scans you, and down the hall on a video monitor, there you stand in all your glory.The government’s claim is that this is necessary in order to make sure that you don’t smuggle a weapon onto a plane. If there’s a gun in your waistband – or an intimate piercing somewhere – it will appear on the scan.

US military to build kilometer-long bomb-proof tunnel – so Obama can go to Gandhi museum

It could give a sense of superior American organisation, or be an indicator of a deep-set persecution complex.

It could also be a manifestation of Uncle Sam’s penchant for a show of strength.The matter pertains to US president Barack Obama’s planned visit to Mani Bhavan —the Gandhi museum — on November 6, soon after he reaches Mumbai. On Monday, US secret agents visited the museum to plan Obama’s security detail.ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOWUS military to build kilometer long bomb proof tunnel so Obama can go to Gandhi museum 011110banner2Having A Supply Of Healthy Foods That Last Just Makes Sense ADSince it is difficult to monitor such a congested area, they came up with a quick solution which left the Indians accompanying them amazed: A bomb-proof over-ground tunnel — to be installed by US military engineers in just an hour.The tunnel would be a kilometre long and measure 12ft by 12ft — enough to let Obama’s cavalcade pass through.

The tunnel would be centrally air-conditioned, fitted with close-circuit television cameras, and will be heavily guarded at every point, including, of course, its entry and exit.

Angry in America: Inside Alex Jones’ World

“Good old Uncle Sam will stage attacks … that’s how they keep the slaves in line,” the libertarian radio host says during a rant on his show. “We have to wake up and face the fact that we have a criminal government.

”Jones, who sits at the helm of an independent media empire, is arguably the nation’s premiere purveyor of what could be called paranoia porn.“World government means world tyranny run by a scientific dictatorship of control freaks that want to carry out forced population reduction,” he explained.
