Replacing the President’s Sequester with Responsible Spending Cuts, Not More Tax Hikes

FEBRUARY 17, 2013 | VIEW ONLINE


"There is a smarter way to reduce the size of government than to slash defense spending, threaten national security and hurt military families," says Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) in the Weekly Republican Address. “In fact, the Republican-led House has already voted twice to replace the president’s sequester with targeted spending cuts based on real budget priorities." Watch her here and read more below.

Rep. Roby called on President Obama and Senate Democrats to join House-led efforts to replace his sequester – not with more tax increases, but with responsible spending cuts that help balance the budget in 10 years.
“We’re weeks away from the president’s sequester," said Speaker Boehner, and the president still has “laid out no plan" to replace it. Senate Democrats still haven’t passed a replacement plan of their own either.
"Do Senate Democrats support President Obama’s agenda?" asked Speaker Boehner. If the president wants more ‘stimulus’ spending, more tax hikes, and a national energy tax, Senate Democrats ought to “go ahead and take it up." The GOP will be focused on creating jobs and addressing our debt.

On February 27, a statue of Rosa Parks will be dedicated in National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol. Speaker Boehner said, “I can’t think of a more fitting honor for a great American hero who still inspires us all."
Speaker Boehner and GOP leaders called on the NLRB to cease all activity until its Members are Constitutionally appointed, noting that doing otherwise “exacerbates the jobs crisis plaguing the nation."
The House voted to overturn President Obama’s automatic pay raise for federal employees, extending the current pay freeze for government workers (including Members of Congress and the president’s Cabinet).
Under President Obama, it takes 30 times longer to get a federal drilling permit than some state and private permits. Energy production on federal land has plummeted and popular projects like Keystone XL remain blocked.
The Hill says the president is waging an “endless campaign," and "stump-style appears are ‘what he’s best at’." Replacing his sequester with responsible cuts that put us on a path to balance the budget in 10 years, submitting a budget, and approving the Keystone XL pipeline would all be more productive.

Guns And Ammo Production Maxed Out

“This is a Society Preparing For War”
(Info Wars) – President Barack Obama is, arguably, the best gun salesman ever. Over 65 million guns have been purchased since the President took office in 2009. FBI background check statistics indicate that, over the last twelve months, Americans purchased a new gun every 1.5 seconds, a figure which suggests there is much more to the recent panic buying than people just stocking up to go hunting or sports shooting.

The following guns and ammo industry report indicates that every major gun and ammunition manufacturer in the country is running at 100% capacity, with many so far behind that they’ve stopped taking new orders altogether.


Smith & Wesson-is running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages.

RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days.

FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out!

Armalite: Maxed out.

DPMS: Can’t get enough parts to produce any more product.

COLT: Production runs increasing weekly…bottle necked by Bolt carrier’s.

LWRC:Making only black guns, running at full capacity…can’t get enough gun quality steel to make barrels.

Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind.

AMMO: Every caliber is now Allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible w/ of 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by L.E. and civilians are third in line.

MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon.

RELOADERS… ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra’s for reloading purposes… it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted…

Many who have exercised their Second Amendment protections are first time buyers concerned with Federal and State gun grabs being spearheaded by politicians who are using the Sandy Hook school shooting as a pretext to restrict access to personal defense rifles, larger capacity magazines, and even ammunition.

But this may only be a part of why there’s so much demand. There are millions of Americans who are genuinely concerned with not just the government taking their guns, but all of their other Constitutionally protected freedoms as well.

We understand what happens in regimes that disarm their people. We’ve seen the democide of the last century, which left hundreds of millions of people dead or displaced when their governments turned on them.

We are determined to prevent it from happening in the land of the free.

Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn’t come close to keeping up with market demand.

It wasn’t just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War-era M1 Garands, M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants—of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20—were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust free space marked their passing. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone.

This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war.

With over 300 million firearms in America in the hands of private citizens, the people are sending a loud and clear message to their government.

Back off. Stop encroaching on our personal liberties. Limit yourself to your Constitutionally granted powers and nothing more.

You’re not the only ones that are armed.

Getting fuel to the allied armies

Fascinating! Never saw this in print anywhere before.

Ever wonder how all the Allied military vehicles running around Europe after Normandy were supplied with fuel?
This 6 min video tells how it was done, and it's something I never knew about WWII before.
