Legislated to Death…or at Least into the Poorhouse

 gavel

January 1st, 2013 was an amazingly sad day for Californians.  They had over 800 new laws to abide by.

800.

That’s 2 over 2 laws per day of the year.

How does a state pass that many laws?  Where do they find the time?

The “Why do they pass this many?” question is easy.  It’s a cash grab.  Most of these laws have fines.

I am taking this opportunity to iterate my firm belief that for every new law created, legislatures should need to remove 2 old ones.  It’s the only way our freedom will be returned.  At this rate, we will not be able to breathe without the state endorsing it.

My prediction:  By 2050 there will be a law to tell you how many breaths you can take and everyone will be legally required to wear one of those work out monitors that uses bluetooth to communicate to our bioembedded cellular device that tattles to the state if we breathe too much.

Californians are OfficiallyScrewed.

Gun Owners Identified In Texas!!!

A few weeks ago the New York Journal News started publishing the names and addresses (via Access to Information) of all people who were registered gun owners in various counties in New York state.  The pictures looked something like this.

Recently we found out that there is also a similar list for the state of Texas.  We have posted the map below for your reference.

Chief Spence Moves Goal Posts…Again

 Moving The Goalposts!First she said she would be on her reduced caloric intake diet until the Prime Minister would meet with her.

He agreed to meet her and all the other band chiefs on January 11th.

Then she said she will not end her reduced caloric intake diet unless something concrete comes of Friday’s meeting.

Today it is learned that she has said she will not attend unless the Governor-General meets with her.

At this point, if I were the PM, I would back out. It is obvious nothing is going to sate this women’s appetite.

Attiwapiskat Has No Documentation for 80% of Financial Expenditures from 2005 to 2011/2012

Thanks Brigitte Pellerin!!!

A few snips.

Deloitte was commissioned by the federal government to audit the Attawapiskat books for the years 2005-2011/12. …..Deloitte cannot guarantee federal funds sent to the northern Ontario reserve are used properly. In fact, the accounting firm cannot find proper documentation for 80% of transactions…..the newspaper was unable to get Chief Theresa Spence to comment on its information.

Methinks Chief Spence is rightfully going to get OfficiallyScrewed.

Gabriella Miller is One Amazing Young Lady

When I first saw this story it literally brought tears to my eyes.

Gabriella Miller is a lovely young 4th grader…who was recently diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. She was granted a wish from the Make A Wish Foundation. But instead of leaving it at that, she decided she wanted to do something more. So she started asking her friends to write letters to Santa.

You see, Macy’s gives a dollar for each letter to the Make A Wish Foundation. Social Media caught wind of the story…and the ball really got rolling.

When the campaign was over, Gabriella had sparked over 240,000 letters to be sent to Santa. In fact the final tally was 240,983. Macy’s added a $25,000 bonus in Gabriella’s name. So thanks to Gabriella, so many more children will be able to take part in the Make A Wish Foundation.

I just wanted to post this to thank Gabriella for the Christmas spirit which lives in the acts and desires like hers.

God Bless you youngster. And thank you.

Hyundai and Kia Owners – ALERT TO CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

Being the owner of a Hyundai, I was quite surprised to find out that about a week ago the company (and it’s Kia subsidiary) announced that they had been overstating mileage claims on many vehicles manufactured between 2011 and 2013.

They will be reimbursing people who purchased specific models but there is also a class action lawsuit filed against them. I supposed this is to make sure they reimburse consumers appropriately.

I would encourage anyone who purchased one of the affected vehicles to join the suit.

Obama, Biden applied political pressure on DoE to fund cronies in Enviro-Gate

Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released over 150 emails that show both President Obama and Vice President Biden were applying pressure big time.  Here are some quotes.

“I am growing increasingly worried about a fast track process imposed on us at the POTUS level based on this chaotic process that we are undergoing…by designing the fast track process and having it approved at the POTUS level (which is an absolute waste of his time!) it legitimizes every element and it becomes embedded like the 55% recovery rate which also was imposed by POTUS.”

 

“You better let him know that WH wants to move Abound forward. Policy will have to wait unless they have a specific policy problem with abound.”

 

“Pressure is on real heavy on SF [Shepherds Flat] due to interest from VP.”

The whole story is just coming out but it can’t be good for the Obama/Biden ticket.

Read more about it here and here.

Methinks the American taxpayer got OfficiallyScrewed.
