Boehner’s Battle Plan
Congress is back in Washington for the lame duck session, and members are scrambling to avoid a government shutdown on December 12th. But standing in the way is Obama’s executive amnesty, an unacceptable abuse of power.
Today Speaker John Boehner unveiled a plan of action: The House of Representatives will first vote on a resolution condemning Obama’s executive amnesty. Then the House will vote on a budget that funds most government agencies through next September but only funds the Department of Homeland Security through March.
Theoretically, that avoids a government shutdown while allowing Republicans to revisit the amnesty/funding issue once the new GOP Senate convenes in January. House conservatives are not yet on board with this partial budget plan, and Harry Reid, who still controls the Senate, could reject it.
We want to hear from the conservative members of Congress. The 114th Congress supposedly convenes January 3rd, 2015. A continuing resolution to fund after December 11th, 2014 when the current funding authorizations run out, provides Obama nearly four months to do his damnedest (Dec., Jan., Feb., and March). Why is a restriction on the funding even to that extent not contemplated. It should be part of any continuing resolution or otherwise encumber that department.

Farrakhan Threatens Race War – Barkley Condemns rioters
Normally, I am inclined to ignore the rantings of Louis Farrakhan, a Jew-hating bigot. But since the Nation of Islam leader was given an award by Jeremiah Wright’s church, I think it is relevant to remind readers of who Barack Obama’s pastor and mentor was hanging out with before Obama became president.
During a recent speech at a historically black college in Baltimore, Maryland, Farrakhan justified the violence and rioting in Ferguson based on “the law of retaliation.” Here’s how Farrakhan closed his remarks before the cheering audience:
“We going to die anyway. Let’s die for something. . . As long as they [whites] kill us [blacks] and go to Wendy’s and have a burger and go to sleep, they’ll keep killing us. But when we die and they die, then soon we’re going to sit at a table and talk about it! We’re tired! We want some of this earth or we’ll tear this godd-mn country up!”
Our only comment is that we are sure that Barack Obama and Eric Holder are calling him on the carpet right now. Oh yes, and that Calypso Louie is an assclown. The clicks heard round the country are the sounds of actions being checked and the muttering of “bring it.” What an absolute assclown.
Bauer continues
Fortunately, there are sane voices speaking up too. Former NBA star Charles Barkley condemned the rioters, saying during a recent interview:
“Those jack-sses who are looting those aren’t real black people, those are scumbags. The real black people are not looting. . . . the true story came out of the grand jury investigation. . . .
“I know I’m black, but I’m always going to try to be honest and fair. We have to be really careful with the cops. If it wasn’t for the cops, we’d be living in the wild, wild west in our neighborhoods. We can’t pick out certain incidentals that don’t go our way and act like the cops are all bad.”
