What about Tears for Victims of Planned Parenthood, Mr. President?
By John Lillpop --American PoliticsIn his unstinting war against the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the hundreds of millions of Americans who follow the law in accordance with the 2nd Amendment, President Obama unveiled a new weapon in his progressive arsenal:

Private Property Ownership – the First American Right To Die Under Barack Obama’s Tyrann
By Tom Deweese --American Politics“Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can…” John Lennon wrote these words for a fantasy song to glorify his understanding of the road to peace. John may not have understood the true origins of his thoughts, but we know it as Communism. Barack Obama knows that too and is determined to make sure you understand the consequences of “no possessions.” In government-speak it’s called the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule.” (AFFH) Once it becomes a reality you will be able to fully appreciate John’s statement – imagine no possessions.” For if AFFH is allowed to stand, the concept of private property is about to die in America.

Hillary to legislator asking about Juanita Broaddrick: ‘You’re very rude and I’m not gonna ever call
By Dan Calabrese --American Politics
Let’s stipulate that New Hampshire State Rep. Katherine Prudhomme O’Brien was being a bit over the top - constantly standing and waving her arms, etc. - in her attempt to get Hillary’s attention here, or at least to let everyone else see her so it would be clear Hillary was ignoring her. But if you know the back story, you know that’s not the real reason Hillary chose to smack her down so hard. That was the excuse for it. It wasn’t the real reason.
Obama’s gun control orders amount to nothing - a restatement of existing law and common sense
By Robert Laurie --Guns-Crime-Terror-SecurityFor the last few weeks, gun owners and constitutionalists have been wringing their hands, worried that Obama’s executive orders would implement the left-wing wish list of gun control tropes. We heard he was going to ban “large capacity” magazines, or limit sales of so-called “assault weapons.” There were also rumors that he was going to unilaterally strip 2nd Amendment rights based on nebulous watchlists. Two days ago, when he said his orders would be entirely consistent with the Constitution, he tipped his hand. He was going to do none of that.

Texas Shale Gas Headed For Europe
By Guest Column--Dr. Benny Peiser --Global Warming-Energy-EnvironmentTexas shale gas is setting sail for Europe. Cheniere Energy has begun liquefying natural gas at its Sabine Pass terminal on the Texas-Louisiana border. The gas will be loaded onto a ship scheduled to travel overseas later this month. That’s welcome news for Texas and U.S. gas producers. A glut of shale gas has depressed prices in the domestic market. Slower growth in China and South Korea have clouded prospects for LNG shipments from Alaska to Asia. That leaves Europe, where demand for natural gas remains strong — and prices are much higher.—Jack Beavers, WFAA News, 4 January 2016
