CHUCK THE DOG WELCOMES SOLDIER HOME. Dogs are so cool!!
Since the “Food Safety and Modernization Act” (authored by Monsanto and other major agribusinesses) got pretty well “de-fanged” prior to passing, those same major agribusinesses have been very busy working to destroy every small farmer and rancher in the nation who does not buckle under and cater exclusively to them.
(NaturalNews) The state of Michigan is only days away from engaging in what can only be called true "animal genocide" -- the mass murder of ranch animals based on the color of their hair. It's all part of a shocking new "Invasive Species Order" (ISO) put in place by Michigan's Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This Invasive Species Order suddenly and shockingly defines virtually all open-range pigs raised by small family farms to be illegal "invasive species," and possession of just one of these animals is now a felony crime in Michigan, punishable by up to four years in prison.
Think it's spring, right? Here in Dallas, temperatures are hovering at 80 degrees. Lawns are being mowed, tulips are blooming, and people have dug out their sandals and shorts. I love springtime!
In Alaska, however, it is a different story. Typically, in Alaska, February and March are the dreariest months. After enduring four months of winter and darkness, cabin fever sits in by february 15th. Most everyone takes a Hawaiian or Mexican vacation in the two dreaded months, simply to regain some sanity. Breakup doesn't usually occur until the end of April or mid-May, so springtime in Alaska is always delayed. This year, it's looking like it may be delayed even longer, considering the amount of snow they've gotten, and are still getting...as of today. The picture below was taken yesterday in Fairbanks.
A winter storm warning was issued Tuesday and continues through 6 p.m. today. Some areas on west-facing hilltops could see as much as 26 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service. Another 2 to 4 inches of snow is expected today with storm totals ranging between 14 and 26 inches. Snow showers are expected to taper off tonight.
I talked to my brother yesterday and he said 'oh, yeah, the snow will start melting any day now. It's clear and sunny. Really nice out!'
He is a true Alaskan!
Michelle Obama is either clueless about American history, has no shame, OR just doesnt give a shit!
Recently, she made an appearance on Tv show, The Biggest Loser. She joined with the contestants in an exercise set....sprawled out on the floor...in the White House.
Mrs. Obama is all about eating right and exercising. You know, staying fit and telling the rest of us what to eat has been her trademark....oops, I got off topic. Previously, she also used a room in the White House as a backdrop for a television appearance. This time, a sack race with a late night comedian.
Both events above took place in the East Room at the White House.
Did you know it was the East Room that was the place of President Lincoln’s funeral?
Did you know it was the East Room that was the location for the signing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964?
The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed strict limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from new power plants despite warnings from utilities and others that such a step to would lead to the demise of coal-fired electricity generation.
The utility industry has fought hard against the rules, arguing that if new coal plants are effectively banned, the industry will be forced to forswear a cheap and plentiful source of electricity generation. The unveiling of the rules is also likely to draw fire from Republicans andbusiness groups. ~~Ulsterman Report
Hey, can't say he didn't warn us. Too bad, the libtards were either sleeping or had their heads buried in the sand.
WASHINGTON) —First Lady Michelle Obama was joined by the American Public Health Association and the Southern Poverty Law Center Monday in formally laying (partial) blame for the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on the Mars Corporation and its popular candy, Skittles
Said Mrs. Obama to reporters at the White House, “We know the power of advertising and sugar-infused confectionery on the children of this nation. And we know the disproportionate eating habits between Caucasian and non-Caucasian youth. …The facts are the facts: had Trayvon Martin and his siblings not been tricked into a lifestyle of sweetened snack servitude this awful tragedy would never have happened.”
Obama added that a grocery store on the opposite side of the neighborhood where Martin was shot offered healthier choices for snacks, such as apples, arugula, and oxygen-flavored rice paddies. Had Trayvon and his brother (for whom he was buying the Skittles) not been dragooned into sweet candy addiction by Skittles, Trayvon would have taken a different route; one that would have not put him on his fatal encounter with community watch captain George Zimmerman.

Wow. Really??? The Obama's and the left have literally lost their marbles. What a ludicrous statement from the angry black woman!!!!!
Wow! Listen to the prez. As he regurgitates his words with leaders of several countries.
Get the barf bag ready before watching. Phony baloney Obamy!!!!
SEATTLE - A 16-year-old boy from West Seattle says he was held hostage and beaten for hours, all because of the color of his skin.
Shane McClellan says two men kicked and whipped him at gunpoint - and told him they singled him out because he is white.
Tim McClellan, Shane's father, says he barely recognized his son after the brutal assault.
"I didn't know if he was alive or dead," Tim McClellan said.
The incident happened as Shane McClellan was walking home from a birthday party at a friend's house Tuesday around 2 a.m.
Shane says two men called to him from the top of a staircase near the intersection of 14th Avenue SW and SW Holden Street. The men asked for a light, and when Shane walked over to oblige, they knocked him to the ground and started kicking him.
The two men knocked the frightened teen around on the staircase, making racially charged remarks.
"They started bringing up the past - like slavery - being like, white people did this," Shane said in an exclusive interview with KOMO News reporter Shomari Stone.
The attackers stripped off McClellan's belt and started whipping his back.
"They said, 'This is for what your people did to our people.' They were like whipping me with my belt, my studded belt," Shane recounts.
One of the men held a gun against the back of his head and burned his neck with cigarettes.
At one point they shoved McClellan's face into a hole with the gun against his head. They also urinated on him and poured beer over him.
"What he told me, when they were beating him with the belt, they were saying, 'I don't like white people,'" says Shane's father, Tim McClellan.
Shane recalls, "They're like, 'Aw, white boy, what are you doing? You can't hang out this late. What are you doing around here?' They're like, 'White boy has no belonging - being out here at 2 a.m.'"
"They targeted me for being white, and they made it very clear thats why they were assaulting me," Shane says.
The boy told police that one of his attackers appeared to be black and the other Asian or Pacific Islander.
The victim's father says this was nothing short of hours of torture.
"Put a gun to the back of his head and told him if he said anything they were going to blow his head off while they sat there and burned him with cigarettes on the back of the neck," he says.
The two assailants held the victim on the ground for some time, and Shane eventually passed out.
When he regained consciousness, the attackers were gone. They had taken his money, a coat and an MP3 player.
Shane waved down a passing car for help and met his family at the hospital.
Seattle police have referred the case to their Bias Crimes Unit for review as a possible hate crime.
Detectives told the family they are working on a photo montage of possible suspects - and will see if the victim is able to identify his attackers from the line-up.
Shane is now out of the hospital and recovering at home.
But he gets chills when he looks at the photos that were taken of him right after the attack.
"Gets me shaken up every time I see it," he says. "I don't know, I just get vibes overall from seeing those pictures."
He says he has learned not to wander through the neighborhood at 2 in the morning - and he hopes his attackers are caught and charged with a hate crime.
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- An emotional Jackson State University student body gathered on campus to remember Nolan Ryan Henderson, a freshman who was shot to death off campus Saturday.
At a packed candlelight vigil Monday, friends embraced the mother of the 19-year-old Biology major from Atlanta, nicknamed "ATL."
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) A "person of interest" in the shooting death of a Mississippi State University student has been arrested on capital murder charges in the weekend slaying.
MSU Police Chief Georgia Lindley, in a news release, says 21-year-old Mason Perry Jones, of Jackson, was arrested Monday on capital murder charges in connection with the death of 21-year-old John Sanderson. The U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force arrested Jones in Memphis Sunday on an unrelated, outstanding robbery warrant.
Jones is one of three people suspected in the slaying of Sanderson, of Madison, Miss., who was shot Saturday on campus in Evans Hall.
Murder suspect...^^^^
And the media is silent...Just sayin'
Notice the media slant on this story?? Why are they showing us pictures from 5-7 years ago?? It puts a whole new light on one's impression of both victim and shooter when you see recent pictures, doesn't it???
Keep in mind, the New Black Panther Party, friends of Obama and Holder, have issued a $10,000 bounty for the killing of Zimmerman. What are we, the wild, wild, west?
I have no desire to get into why the young black killed was killed, or who started why first. I do, however, feel its important to point out that the hate as it relates to racism is not honestly about white vs. black. The story of this young boy has been reported literally 24/7, and even Oblowme has commented on it. FYI, Oblowme commenting is abbut stirring the pot of racism and right up his alley and the division between blacks and whites is exactly what he wants. Below, are five RECENT examples of blacks killing whites, but chances are you have never heard of these cases. When someone white is killed by a black person, the media is silent. But, if a black person is killed, by anyone other than black, we are inundated with protests, screaming, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson.....and Oblowme.
It is sad that the young man lost his life, but WHY does the media always have to make it about race when the victim is black????
White kid had gas poured on his face, and was lit on fire, as the two blacks kids said, “this is what you deserve white boy” and the Alinsky Media didn’t report.
White people that were pulled from their cars and beaten at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds by the mod of black punks.
A black guy that killed his white girlfriend and dismembered her body.
Another black guy that killed his white pregnant girlfriend, and then killed a cop at point black range.

Obama is inciting hatred and violence, people. He wants the division, he wants the violence that follows.
Hilarious!! Obama, the liar and narcissist in chief, just keeps on, keeping on, blaming everyone else for any and all failures. Solyndra, case in point. Here is what the asswipe had to say today about the failed green company, Solyndra:
"Obviously we wish Solyndra hadn't gone bankrupt. Part of the reason they did was the Chinese were subsidizing their solar industry and flooding the market in ways Solyndra couldn't compete. But understand, this was not our program per se."
NOT YOUR PROGRAM??? REALLY??? Rewind!!
Here is you know who in May, 2010 at the Solyndra plant, praising it, pushing it, selling it.
Remember, Solyndra received $535 million in YOUR tax dollars.
Then, there's this: The Top Obama bundler George Kaiser, a principle investor in Solyndra, made multiple visits to the White House in the months before the company was granted a $535 million loan.
AND earlier:
At the time, Obama praised Solyndra in May 2010 during a widely publicized speech at the company's new Fremont, California, facility that was made possible by the federal loan guarantee.
“The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra, will always be America’s businesses, ” Obama told the assembled company employees. “Less than a year ago, we were standing on what was an empty lot. But through the Recovery Act, this company received a loan to expand its operations. This new factory is the result of those loans.”
In Obama's Jan., 2010 State of the Union Address, he praised Solyndra:
And, precisely, WHEN did Solyndra receive their DOE loan (taxpayer money)???
Solyndra of Fremont, California, the beleaguered cylindrical CIGS solar manufacturer, received a $535 million loan guarantee from the DOE in March of 2009.
To be fair, Solyndra obviously applied for the DOE loan prior to Ovomit being in office. Hence, this;
December 2006: Solyndra Applies for a Loan Guarantee under the 1703 program.
Late 2007: Loan guarantee program is funded. Solyndra was one of 16 clean-tech companies deemed ready to move forward in the due diligence process. The Bush Administration DOE moves forward to develop a conditional commitment.
January 2009: In an effort to show it has done something to support renewable energy, the Bush Administration tries to take Solyndra before a DOE credit review committee before President Obama is inaugurated. The committee, consisting of career civil servants with financial expertise, remands the loan back to DOE “without prejudice” because it wasn’t ready for conditional commitment.
March 2009: The same credit committee approves the strengthened loan application. The deal passes on to DOE’s credit review board. Career staff (not political appointees) within the DOE issue a conditional commitment setting out terms for a guarantee.
Ding, ding, ding!!! The loan process may have started under the Bish Administration, but when you follow the chain of events, The evidence speaks for itself....Solyndra WAS OVOMIT'S!! HE OWNS IT!! And it pisses me off like you wouldn't believe, to hear him today saying it was not HIS!!! Bullcrap!
This is what they do. Twist the truth, distort the words, and mold it to make it their own. Truth be damned. Lying sacks of garage!
Hahaha!!!! I stole this from a forum, but wanted to share.
Dear IRS

It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year.
Sincerely, A Satisfied Taxpayer
Malia Obama on spring break vacation in Oaxaca, Mexico. RIGHT? The media quickly reported on it.
Shortly thereafter, all stories online about Malia's Mexico vacation were quickly scrubbed from the Internet,
The WH reported that they were in fact the ones that gave the order to remove the stories because ovomit's kids were, as always, off limits.
THEN.......a 7.6 earthquake occurred today in Acapulco, Mexico.
OOPS! The WH was quick to report that Malia is safe in Mexico. First, no reporting allowed, now suddenly they feel the urge to inform the public that Malia was not hurt? Which is it, OBAMA? We are not to know about your kids....or we are on a need to know basis? Because, frankly, I don't really give a damn...EXCEPT for the fact that your daughter traveled in my dime with an escort of 25 secret service agents and who knows How many personal assistants.....and what jet did she fly on???
Here's the kicker!! We all know Malia Ann Obama (MAO) attends the exclusive private Sidwell School. But did you know that Sidwell's spring break is not until NEXT WEEK?? The following is from their website:

Spring Break 2012. 3/26-3/30SOOOOO, spring break OR just another vacation? |
On Saturday, I posted about the latest Executive Order Obama signed. The National Defense Industrial Resources Preparedeness. By today, all the right wing bloggers are reporting on it. The following is from gateway pundit. Listen up, people.
Friday afternoons, when no one is paying attention, seem to be Obama’s favorite time to release his Executive Orders. Last Friday, came another one; an update to an Executive Order created in 1994, the “National Defense Industrial Resources Preparedness”. The order gives the president the power to take control of all domestic energy supplies for the purpose of protecting national security, as well as, delegating greater power to each cabinet member to achieve this.
As Fox News points out,
President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order on March 16 giving the White House absolute control over all the country’s natural resources in case of a natural disaster or during a time of war.
In the order, the National Defense Resources Preparedness Order, the President granted to himself the authority to approve the dispensing of all domestic energy, production, transportation, food, and water supplies as he deems necessary to protect national security.
Despite the national defense hurdle that ostensibly must be jumped in order for the order to take effect, the text of the document itself does not limit implementation to a time of war. In fact, the specific sections of the order make it clear that the President can take complete command and control of the country’s natural resources in peacetime, as well.
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air gave an analysis of this new EO in comparison to its predecessors,
Note what this EO specifically orders: identify, assess, be prepared, improve, foster cooperation. None of these items claim authority to seize private property and place them at the personal disposal of Obama. What follows after Section 103 are the directives for implementing these rather analytical tasks, mostly in the form of explicit delegations of presidential authority to Cabinet members and others in the executive branch.
Why the update? If one takes a look at EO 12919, the big change is in the Cabinet itself. In 1994, we didn’t have a Department of Homeland Security, for instance, and some of these functions would naturally fall to DHS. In EO 12919, the FEMA director had those responsibilities, and the biggest change between the two is the removal of several references to FEMA (ten in all). Otherwise, there aren’t a lot of changes between the two EOs, which looks mainly like boilerplate.
Here's the prez. with his ex-boyfriend back in the day. Funny, isn't it, that people actually voted for a stoner, Muslim lover, homosexual, radical commie? Yeah. Not funny at all.
We've had four years to discover who and what Oblowme is....have you done your part to expose him?
Let's not allow this poor excuse of a man have any more time in the WH. As freedom lovers, we need to rally around the Republican nominee, regardless of who it will be.
Holder was addressing the Woman's National Democratic Club. In his remarks, broadcast by CSPAN 2, he explained that he intended to use anti-smoking campaigns as his model to "change the hearts and minds of people in Washington, DC" about guns.
"What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that's not cool, that it's not acceptable, it's not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes."
Holder added that he had asked advertising agencies in the nation's capital to assist by making anti-gun ads rather than commercials "that make me buy things that I don't really need." He had also approached local newspapers and television stations, he said, asking them to devote prime space and time, respectively, to his anti-gun campaign.
Local political leaders and celebrities, Holder said, including Mayor Marion Barry and Jesse Jackson, had been asked to help. In addition, he reported, he had asked the local school board to make the anti-gun message a part of "every day, every school, and every level."
Ah, yes. It's a lovely spring day in France with temperatures hovering around 75 degrees. Tourists are milling about in their shorts and sandals while taking in the famous sights of Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower.
Front and center, we have your atypical couple from one of the 'Stans'...whether it be Pakistan or Dearbornistan...the ever loving husband, dressed in his casual white t-shirt (warm temps and all remember), and a pair of cotton twill slacks. His doting wife, dressed precisely as she should be, donned from head to toe in several layers of dark black fabric. She is careful to not reveal arms or legs. Although we cannot see her feet in the photo, rest assured, she is wearing the required shoes...no heels, no sandals revealing *gasp* skin. As they stroll along, he points out to her the world famous Eiffel Tower....as she may not be able to see it very well, depending if she is wearing a burka or a hajib. We cannot ascertain that from the picture. He looks quite comfortable and cool. I am sure she is fine, suffocating beneath her religion required cloak.
Yes, yes. A lovely spring day in Paris.
The top picture is a young moose trudging his way through the snow, and the second photo is telling as to the amount of snow.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- A near-record snowfall this winter has buried Anchorage neighborhoods, turning streets into snow-walled canyons and even collapsing some roofs.
Residents are hoping to break their 60 year record of 132.6 inches. Wow! That's a lot of snow!
Meanwhile, check out what the grand kids in anchorage were doing last night.
I have turned another year older, but as Henry says, in just one more year we will be able to get discounted meals at Denny's and IHop's. Gee, I can hardly wait. No, I really don't have a problem with getting older.
So, last night, we went out for dinner, which is a rare treat for us. We went for sushi and sake! Today, we will be making the drive to Oklahoma and visit the casino. I am excited! I've been working so have saved up a nice little pile of tax free money, but I will restrict myself to only $50.00 to lose. I haven't decided if I will give Henry any yet. Haha.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Our prez. signed yet another Executive Order last night. Did you know that? This one is regarding national defense resources preparedness. Sounds harmless, but is it? To summarize, it basically gives the Feds the power to take control of whatever they want in the event of a 'national emergency'. What constitutes a national emergency? With Obama in charge, this concerns me, especially with the state of our country today. Decide for yourself. I have put the link to the Executive Order below, but with my iPad and Blogsey, I still haven't worked out all the bugs in posting links.

AND THEN.........wow! I saw this story this morning. The CIA wants to spy on you through your television! It's not really too surprising when you consider the huge advances in technology, but why do I feel like we are moving towards socialism, or even communism? Our rights and our privacy is diminishing, and the liberals say.........'it's all for our own safety. If you have nothing to hide, what's the problem?'
I say........when we relinquish our right to privacy and right to free speech, we will no longer be free!
