Obama is turning America into a ‘Deadbeat Nation’

Obama is turning America into a ‘Deadbeat Nation’

In a scathing letter sent to Barack Obama this morning, Senator Marco Rubio said that under the President’s first term in office, “more and more people have come to believe that America is becoming a deadbeat nation.” Rubio went on to pledge that he would challenge any further increase in the debt ceiling, arguing that “we need to make it routine to actually spend no more than we take in.” In the letter obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, the Florida Senator said that President Obama’s upcoming request to increase the debt ceiling by a whopping $1.2 trillion will cause the nation’s public debt to surpass the $16 trillion mark. “I will oppose your request to continue borrowing and spending recklessly.” President Obama is expected to request the new borrowing power from [...]

Could the Conspiracy theorists be right about FEMA Camp construction

Could the Conspiracy theorists be right about FEMA Camp construction

Of all the rumors flying around on the internet, one just refuses to die, and it concerns America's FEMA camps. In a nutshell, there seems to be a solicitation of bids occurring for the staffing of FEMA camps within 72 hours of implementation by an order from either Homeland Security or the president. This situation begs to be investigated, with special consideration paid to the motives of the present administration. I went to the source, the FedBizOpps.gov, and searched for the solicitation number HSFEHQ-10-R-0027, titled National Responder Support Camp. A search of the history of the amendments to this Solicitation for Contract showed that it had been modified several times, with the last modification -- number 0008, with an original date of letting out to bid with a synopsis of [...]

Congresswoman Jackson Lee: Obama Should Extend Payroll Tax Cut by Executive Order

Congresswoman Jackson Lee: Obama Should Extend Payroll Tax Cut by Executive Order

One should keep in mind this is the same Congresswoman who asked if the Jet Propulsion Laboratory had taken a photo of the Neil Armstrong Moon Landing site with the Mars Rover. I can almost understand the confusion, even though the Johnson Space center is in her district, about space, but this is a Congresswoman who took an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States.  One would think she would have read it. U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 8 The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; via  USConstitution.net. Someone please remind [...]

The Company Ron Paul Keeps – Meet Alex Jones

The Company Ron Paul Keeps – Meet Alex Jones

In 2007-2008 we started to take a good look at Senator Barack Obama and the company he kept.  In our view, water seeks it's own level and ones own character can be understood by those one surrounds themselves. Simply put, the English Proverb and biblical references, One is known by the company he Keeps. Senator Barack Obama had some shady relationships during his short Political career.  His dealings with the Likes of Union Boss Trumka, Antonin (Tony) Rezko, Bill Ayers, Planned Parenthood, and The Reverend Jeremiah  Wright had us concerned.  We believed that if this man become President of the United States, he would  transform  this country into a reflection of the sum total of their values.  We were right. We would be Amiss if we did not the same type of Vetting own the [...]

Communists Sue Democratic Party For Stealing Platform

Communists Sue Democratic Party For Stealing Platform

In a surprise move, the CPUSA (Communist Party USA) has announced a lawsuit against the Democratic Party and its leadership for the alleged theft of intellectual property. The plaintiffs claim that the entire so-called "new" Democratic agenda is, in fact, the product of a decades-long, painstaking campaign by CPUSA theorists, agitators, and underground subversive cells - which makes it the intellectual property of the Communist Party USA, protected by American copyright laws. "They stole our entire platform, rebranded it 'progressive', and claimed it as their own," declared a CPUSA spokesperson at a press conference in San Francisco. "And we communists say, not so fast! Not in this country anyway, where we still have property rights and the rule of law, thank God! Actually, let me [...]

Stocks worst Thanksgiving week since the Great Depression

Didn't Obama save us from Crisis, Catastrophe, saved the economy and kept us from a Great Depression? Seems the stock market doesn't think so. Stocks closed in negative territory in thin, shortened trading Friday as investors were reluctant to go long ahead of the weekend and amid ongoing worries over the euro zone. The Dow and S&P posted their worst Thanksgiving week since the Great Depression on a percentage basis. Major U.S. Indexes The Dow Jones Industrial Average erased their gains to finish lower, led by H-P and Chevron . The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also ended lower, logging a seventh consecutive decline. Some traders are watching for 1,150 on the S&P as the next key level. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, ended [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

From all of us at Iron Mill Interactive Media and Politisite.  We wish you a blessed and reflective thanksgiving. Here is the First Proclamation of Thanksgiving by President Abraham Lincoln October 3rd, 1863 By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation. The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has [...]
