Some gun companies are refusing to sell to the Federal government
The Department of Homeland Security, the IRS, NOAH, and various other government agencies have been buying billions of rounds of ammunition as well as thousands of the same type of assault weapons which they are trying to ban ownership of in the private sector.
This is being done for one of two reasons: One; the Federal government is preparing for the insurrection they feel is coming after Barack Obama achieves his goal of crashing the economy, or two; despite the propaganda campaign being waged by the government and the media they realize that in the end they will not be able to pass gun control legislation so they are attempting to achieve the next best thing. The government could be trying to dry up the ammunition supply be purchasing as many rounds as possible, thereby creating a shortage and driving up the price making it impossible for the American people to by ammunition for the guns they own.
It now appears as if some firearms companies are fighting back in an attempt to foil this nefarious plot, several gun companies are refusing to sell weapons to the Federal government.

Well, all week we were told there was another major storm bearing down on us and we should prepare for the end of the world but it didn’t quite turn out that way. We are now only getting a little bit of snow and some rain, I guess that is what happens when you live in New Hampshire so I thought I would lighten it up today and share a video entitled “A Granite State of Mind.”
Enjoy
The White House is claiming that Barack Obama was in contact with his national security advisers during the Benghazi terrorist attack and called Hillary Clinton at about 10:00 PM to “get an update on the situation.” That was six hours after the attack began.
We already know from the testimony of Leon Panetta that after his initial pre-scheduled meeting with the Dear Leader that he was not in contact with him again during the attack. We also know that Hillary Clinton never bothered to call to get an update on the attack. In fact nobody seems to know where Barack Obama was during the attack.
So the White House is claiming that Barack Obama was in contact with his advisers even though he was AWOL during the attack, but that leaves me with one question: If Barack Obama was in contact and receiving updates from his advisers why did he have to call Hillary Clinton for an update when she was also AWOL during the attack?
It turns out that 10:00 PM was right around the time that Hillary Clinton first floated the lie about the attack being over a You Tube video. Is this just an astounding coincidence, or were Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton finalizing their cover story?
A Muslim beheads two Christians in New Jersey, where is the outcry for knife control?
Every time a murder or any other violent crime is committed with a firearm the mainstream media and the Democrats use it as a call for more gun control legislation such as banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines. They do this because it helps them to promote their agenda. They claim these measures will help them to protect the American people.
Last week a Muslim beheaded and cut off the hands of two Christians in New Jersey:
Yet the media can’t seem to come up with a motive for the killings and they certainly are not calling for knife control in the wake of this deadly attack. Why is that when they are so willing to blame guns for crimes at every turn when they have the chance yet they are not so willing to blame the knife for these murders?
The answer is obvious to me, this simply does not fit the agenda so the lives of these two Christians aren’t as important to them as they would be if they were murdered with assault weapons and they aren’t interested in even covering this story for the very same reason.

Universal Orlando theme park currently provides its part time employees with healthcare insurance but that is about to change and, you guessed it, Obamacare is to blame for this decision.
While the trend has been for employers to cut the hours of part time employees to avoid having to offer healthcare insurance to these employees Universal Orlando had already been offering part time employees healthcare insurance, so why drop coverage now?
It is simple, because under Obamacare the government has deemed the insurance provided to these employees isn’t good enough: Read more…
Then and Now: Barack Obama on sequestration
What a difference a year makes: You wouldn’t know it by listening to Barack Obama today with the threat of sequestration hanging over the head of America, but he is the one who proposed sequestration and he is the one who threatened to veto any attempt at avoiding the automatic spending cuts in 2011.
In 2011 he vowed to veto any attempt at getting rid of the spending cuts, claiming there would be no easy off-ramps to avoid the spending cuts.
Now that his sequestration policy is in place and the election is over he has a different position: Now he claims these changes, not well thought through and not phased in properly, will result in impending doom. Seeing as how this is his policy does that not mean he did not think things through properly?
Here is a video that highlights Barack Obama on sequestration then and now:
Colorado Democrat claims that women afraid of rape shouldn’t carry guns
While speaking on the Colorado House Floor about disarming college students misogynistic Democrat Joe Salazar claimed that is a woman is afraid of being raped she shouldn’t carry a weapon to protect herself:
It’s why we have call boxes; it’s why we have safe zones; it’s why we have the whistles — because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at. And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop a round at somebody,” Salazar said.
He has since apologized but the fact is that he said what he said and he meant it or else he wouldn’t have said it in the first place. Apparently he feels women are too emotional and won’t think rationally when they care confronted by a stranger and therefor cannot be trusted with a firearm.
Barack Obama admits his policies are going to make energy more expensive
Now that Barack Obama has been reelected and doesn’t have to worry about running again he is more up front about what his policies will do to the American people.
Last Friday Barack Obama admitted his policies would drive up the price of energy, this is what he had to say:
I have to tell you that there are some Democrats, for example, who represent states or districts that are heavily reliant on old power plants and are more heavily manufacturing based. And the truth is that if you produce power using old power plants, you’re going to be emitting more carbon, but, to upgrade those plants means energy is going to be a little more expensive, at least on the front end.
Of course this comes as no surprise to those of us who have been paying attention because we remember this comment from 2008 when he was running for president the first time: Read more…
New Hampshire House to vote on giving lawmakers free ski passes
I am not going to spend too much time on this because it appears to be dead on arrival, but it deserves mentioning because it epitomizes what is wrong with our government: the New Hampshire House is set to vote on Wednesday on whether or not they should get free unlimited lift tickets to Cannon Mountain.
This is how supporters of the measure justify their position:
Supporters argue that lawmakers have open access to state parks which promotes awareness of the locations
Unbelievable! By skiing for free they are claiming it will help raise awareness of the ski country! I guess this is what they consider sacrificing for the public good.
John McCain hammers David Gregory on the Benghazi cover up
Most of you know that I am not a fan of John McCain, however he does nail this one. He appeared on ‘Meet the Press’ and hammered David Gregory over the Benghazi cover up.
When John McCain brought up the cover up David Gregory tried to poo poo this by asking him what the Obama regime is covering up, to which John McCain basically answered by stating we don’t know what they are covering up because they are covering it up.
“Do you care that four Americans are dead?” John McCain asked before bringing up the fact that nobody has been allowed to interview the survivors of the attack, as well as the fact that nobody knows where Barack Obama was during the attack or what he was doing.
