A Private Army
__________________
One of the little things included in the Health care Law is not so little. Hardly anything in this law is little. Massive is more like it. Any way, the law has a provision it to allow the creation of a new governmental corps. It's called the Ready Reserve Corps. Just what we really need, another government group to do the bidding of the the government. We have FBI, US Marshall's, DIA, CIA, NSA, DHS and now the RRC. So in effect, Obama created his own private police force. Instead of jobs. Oh yeah, 16,500 jobs were created for the IRS... to monitor our compliance with the law. Let's see. The government took over the health care industry and we will be forced to purchase their coverage. The government owns 60 percent of GM, will the government force us to buy GM products under the general duty and commerce clause as well?
Mexico Wants What?
______________________
The President of Mexico, a country whose primary export is humans, wants the US to re-instate the so called assault weapon ban cause we are, ya know, responsible for all the violence in Mexico now. The drug cartels can buy a whole container of AK's from China for the cost of a few AR15s. But it's our highly expensive firearms that are causing the violent out breaks in that third world country. Does their President also smoke crack? He must, to come up with this bullshit. Or maybe the UN is putting him up to it. The UN really wants the US to sign up for their small arms anti-proliferation treaty. Let's see, they say guns are coming across their border and it's our fault? We need to remind Mexico that they are sending millions of illegal immigrant to our country every year. If they stop that invasion maybe we will try to stem the flow of firearms into their pathetic, destitute, crooked little country.
A Militia?
_____________
You have probably heard that the FBI and several local pd's raided a militia in three states. A militia? A militia of 9 people? That's less than a squad. More like a patrol. And they sound more like a bunch of bubbas that all go to their own brand of church and bs about all they would like to do and shoot guns to top it off. I will say, if you are a shooter and you fall in with a group like this leave immediately. My biggest question is how far did the FBI informant "embedded" with this "militia" push them? What this has done is put the word militia in the minds of all law enforcement again and put a bad connotation with it again, just like in the 90's. So folks if you're going out shooting, make sure you know all your shooting buddies and for crying out loud don't wear camouflage to the range and don't give yourself a goofball name. Oh, yeah, try to keep your group below 9. That seems to be the trigger point for being declared a "militia". Nine. The Feebies are pulling out all stops, even dragging out the sedition charge. Sedition? How long has it been since anyone was charged with that? And weapons of mass destruction? Didn't we invade a country over that? And now 9 morons are building them here? So a pipe bomb is a WMD now? So plumbing supplies would be precursory materials now right? Will there be a registration of all plumbing supply providers and UN check points and searches of all semis that could be transporting plumbing supplies? They're really stretching the point on this one.

The Decline
____________
It has been tossed around that the Social Security system will be bankrupt by 2016. By 2016 all of you collecting a check and all of you that expect to collect a check might be in trouble. The problem is though, this year Social Security says they will pay out more than they take in. That's right, more going out than is coming in. In my mind this is the real start of the end. To continue paying all those millions of monthly checks the Government will have to borrow more money from foreign governments or have their buddies at the Federal Reserve make loans so the federal printing presses can run 24/7 which will devalue the dollar even further resulting in massive inflation. At the same time we are embarking on a misguided journey with a national health care bill that will end up costing trillions that we don't currently have and will not ever have unless once again we borrow more dollars from, again, foreign countries and/or run the federal printing presses even faster creating even more inflation and devaluation of the FRN (Federal Reserve Note) Do your self a favor and use the worthless dollars in your possession now and trade it in on real money. Silver coins, gold coins. Real constitutional money. A lot of financial advisors tell us that gold is not a wise investment but if that were true why does every nation in the world have massive stockpiles of gold bullion?
Tis' The Season

Spring is here and there are many thing everyone needs to do. Consider putting in a garden, as large as you can manage. Learn to preserve any of your extra produce. Tune up your lawn and garden equipment. Repack your GOOD (get out of dodge) bags. Replace any batteries in flashlights, smoke detectors and other items. Check and clean all your firearms. Do a detailed summary of all you stored items and make a list of other items to buy. With the nice weather, get outside an let the sun shine on you. Go fishing. Go biking. Wash all the winters accumulation of salt and sand off all your vehicles. Change the tires if you run winter only tires. Spring is the time for renewal and rejuvenation so get with it.

Health Care for All Americans?
______________________
This health care law is supposed to provide health insurance for all Americans. So when did we elect non-American politicians? 'Cause if they were Americans they would be in line for the same crappy, socialistic plan we are getting subjected to. Ask your congress critter about that. Or maybe even demand that those high and mighty on the hill partake of the same sewage we are.
I want it real bad
________________
I'm jonesing for a Sig Sauer P238. Bad. Real Bad. But with a house under remodel and a Harley in the midst of a rebuild, a new heater is not in the plan. But if I can squeeze 600 smackaroos out somewhere I'll have a new belly gun.
Mo. Lt. Gov. Sounds off
________________________
Missouri may be joining in on the lawsuit that is developing over the health care law. Thirteen or fourteen state are currently signed on and Missouri's Lt. Governor is asking the Governor, Senator and Attorney General to join him but when you're the only Republican in a Democratic State House...well you can probably guess.
Cost Rica?
________________________
A good friend of mine is doing a lot of talking about Costa Rica lately. Costa Rica this and Costa Rica that. I think I found out what is going on. Here a picture of the Miss Costa Rica Contest. Or maybe it's this. Or even this. Here's something I found for him. What ever the reason, good luck and if you get there enjoy it all you can.

The Battle Starts
_______________
There are 14 states that are bringing suit against the Federal Government over the Healthcare mandate. As expected, I have been hearing the tired old story that the Government has the right to enforce this bank busting law due to the commerce clause in the Constitution. What complete and total bullshit. That clause has been stretched so far and thin it's a wonder it hasn't snapped. "To regulate (make standard) Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribes" In that same section it says that the congress must "coin" money. Not create it from thin air. It also says that congress shall not fund an army for more than 2 years. All this can be found in Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution. Look it up.
House Plan

We are rapidly running out of funds for this project. A grand here, a few grand there makes it go very quickly. We have found and applied for two grants and another will open in April that we will apply for. So we have our fingers crossed at this point. The furnace is in and running with over half of the duct work installed. Some of the electrical work is done and Cherry Pie has a nice walk in closet framed in. Cabinets are ordered but, we got them from Lowes instead of Cabinets To Go or Kansas City Cabinets Direct. Lowes could provide the size of pantry we wanted and we had a nice discount with them.. Windows are ordered and we are waiting on delivery. So you can see all the major stuff is bought. Now come the part that nickle and dimes you to death. Great.

The Health Care bill is now law. But not for the law makers. They still get their "cadillac" plans.

It seems that several bricks have been thrown through several windows in protest over the health care law passage.
It costs much more to live in LA than it does Missouri. Fact. 63,000 dollars/frn California is about 28,000 dollars/frn Missouri.

GOOD MORNING AMERIKANS!
_________________________
Welcome Comrades! Hail to the Great ONE! This glorious morning we start that long journey that leads us further and further into socialism. We had an abortion delivered on the floor of the House last night and our liberal, marxist, socialistic, would be president is all set to sign this travesty. Seven states are poised to file lawsuits against the federal government over this theft of the Americans right to choice, to decide, to live free of government intrusion into our lives. We are now under the thumb of the Government as they will now direct every aspect of our health. From providing service to deciding if you are worth the expense of life. Yes, Sarah Palins death panels ARE in the bill/law. Yes, you will be fined for not buying insurance. Yes, you will be ordered to buy insurance. Yes, the IRS is hiring nearly 17,000 agent to police the peoples purchase of insurance. Yes, the IRS will fine you for non-compliance. Yes you can go to jail for not complying. So yes, we are now subjects of a despot. The only shining light is that subjects have been known to rise and remove the despot. The time to rise is now. Right now. Remove EVERY Democrat from office this fall and in 2012. Every fucking one of them. We as a people must start holding our electorate accountable for their actions. Dig up any dirt on any one of them, publish that info. Get pictures of them in compromising situations. File lawsuits against them until they are broke and destitute. Fund their political opponents as much as you can afford. Run for office and call them out to answer for their actions. It's time for real Americans to take this country back.

The Congressional Circus Is In Town
_________________________________
We've been watching that horror show called the House of Representatives. Representative? Who do they think they are representing? All polls indicate that the healthcare bill as it stands, is widely unacceptable to a large majority of Americans. My thoughts are, if a Congressional district is largely against the healthcare overhaul like we are seeing and that districts Representative votes for it, the district should recall the Representative and his vote should be discounted. If he did not vote the wishes of his constituents then he is not doing his job. And if the job is not being done then the vote cannot, should not count. Thank God the fall elections are approaching faster than we really want, but at least we'll be getting rid of a whole bunch of imperious fools known as liberals. Liberals who have long ago left the human race to become, in their minds, demigods. Demigods with all the power to impose their will on all the serfs of their fiefdom. I urge any one with a Representative that votes contrary to your districts wishes, to take it up with the Representative personally. As said frequently on the Sipsey Street Irregulars, break their windows. I prefer arms and craniums but hey, to each his own. Ahm, a honin' ma' blade and loadin' ma' rifle guns. Nah, just looking at them fondly and dreaming of a better place.
At least the President and his motley collection of 216 fools are going to be met with multiple court challenges as soon as pen touches paper. Florida, Idaho, Virginia and others are prepared to file suit against the Feds to have the healthcare bill declared unconstitutional. As in not in the Federal mandate, as in not an enumerated power. And don't give me that general duty clause bullshit either. We're on to that particular little game that has been foisted on us for decades.
As usual we heard a whole bunch of Dimocrats speaking against the healthcare bill but, when the rubber meets the road, they vote party line. Liars and charlatans every one of them.

Thieves Bickering

The Honorable House of Reprobates is debating the latest version of the tax and rob bill tonight. Yeah, I mean the Health Care bill. The one that will cost us, our children and grandchildren untold millions, nay, trillions of dollars to implement. The Liar in Charge says he can get this atrocity in place and provide health care for all at no net cost. WTF? No net increase to cover every man woman and child in this nation? Is he still smoking crack? Who's doing his math for him? Drunken kindergartners? We'll just have to see how this p.o.s. shakes out. I just heard there are 100,000 calls coming in to the congress every hour over this issue. Is any one listening? I have my doubts.
Sibel Edmonds Again
_______________________
I recently wrote about a lady named Sibel Edmonds. She's the FBI translator that heard tapes that implicate several politicians in treason. Now her previous employer is backing her. The FBI says they have the documents to back up what she has been saying since 2002. I really am interested to see if any of this results in any kind of charges against these hypocrites.
Federal Reserve Reservations
___________________________
The Federal Reserve has had reservations about disclosing the names of the banks and financial institutions that received bailout money. They claim it will cause harm to those banks if this information gets out. I guess we'll see if any harm comes to them as a Federal Court of Appeals has ruled that The Fed must release that information. It's about time is all I can say about this.

Construction trades unemployment is at 27 percent. No wonder I'm having a hard time finding a job.
It seems that strategic defaults on home loans are getting popular in California. With the collapse of housing prices, many folks are refusing to pay for McMansions that now are priced like a McHovel. So they pack up, walk out and rent a house or apartment at far less than what they were paying on a mortgage.
TSA needs to train their employees about basic gun handling. My son brought two pistols home with him via airlines. Questions to him were: How can you tell if the magazine is loaded? If you put the magazine thing in it will it be loaded? Do you know what we're supposed to do for this gun thing? Are you a SEAL?
His observation: They can't tell if the magazine is loaded and are concerned that it might be but NO ONE looked in the chamber. And finally, "These are the people that are supposed to be protecting us?"

Done For Now
__________________
The Rock Island Armory .45 that is. I got all the major pieces Dura Coated, the feed ramp polished, an Ed Brown trigger installed and all re-assembled. Due to finances, I have to wait on the stainless hammer, grip safety and mainspring housing. But it is lookin' good! I had some issues this morning getting the sear assembly installed. They make it look so easy on the AGI video. I finally got it done though. I'll be glad to tote this instead of the boat anchor of an XD 45 I've had filling in for my carry piece. I got my Dad's Marlin model 60 done too. Installed a new inner mag tube, detailed cleaned it and mounted a 1 inch scope on it. I also got him a couple of magazines for his 10/22. Happy Fathers Day Dad!
Wyoming Challenge
______________________
Speaking of guns, Wyoming just issued their own 10 amendment proclamation. Now they have a law in place that says any federal officers trying to enforce federal firearm laws in Wyoming can be arrested, tried and sentenced to two years in prison and or 2 thousand dollars in fines. Talk about a slap down. I wish good ol' MO. would sprout a pair and get our own law like that on the books. It looks like the USG is gonna have their hands full with all the Tenth challenges they are seeing.
Low Volume Content

With all the time we have been spending at the new house and given that my Son is home on leave I haven't been posting much lately. Either dog tired or very busy( I was up at 5:30 to work on the gun). That's the way it's been lately. Tomorrow we are going to take a tour of the Boulevard Beer Brewery and eat lunch somewhere.

Silence No More
________________
Sibel Edmonds was an interpreter for the FBI. As such she was privy to critical information gained from wiretaps that she had to interpret. Some of the stuff she heard shook her belief in the American Political system. She attempted to bring this information to light but the Bush II administration muzzled her under the State Secrets Clause. Now, due to her testimony for the Ohio Election Commission, she may be able to tell all as the Obama administration is not going to stop her from revealing the treasonous information that she holds. This stuff is really inflammatory, were talking Senators and Representatives being on the take to a foreign county and working to help that country in exchange for cash and property as well as lucrative employment after their political term ran out. Well known names at that. Dennis Hastert, Roy Blunt, Tom Lantos and others. If this information comes out and is proven true then all of the suspects should be found guilty of treason and publicly executed. FBI and CIA employees think she has some real solid information that points to treason.
House Report
__________________
We are making progress on the house that we bought at foreclosure. We hired a few teenagers we know to swamp out the basement. That was interesting. Three teenagers covered in mud, traipsing up and down the stairs with buckets filled with mud, trash, debris, junk and who knows what. They did work hard though. We paid them 50 bucks each for 5 hours work and threw in a few pizzas to sweeten the deal. We are really making some progress with the demo type stuff. I'm starting construction type stuff now. The only problem is me. I big and have always been strong as an ox. Now after a lifetime of hard work and even harder play, my body is failing me. Arthritis and some other joint issues are really slowing me down. Wrists and shoulders are the real problems. I broke down and bought a nail gun this morning as I could hardly swing a hammer yesterday. Ain't life a bitch? I've got all this time on my hands now, we have a little money to make the repairs, we have a decent property to work on and I'm falling down on the job. That sucks. I'm still sticking with the 3 month idea to get us in to a portion of the house. We have looked at new cabinets for the kitchen at Lowes, a local cabinet shop and another cabinet shop. The 2 shops came in around 5 grand. Lowes came in at 5 grand but we had a discount with them that brought it to 3,600 dollars. Then I found a place called http://www.cabinetstogo.com/ Their base cabinets are the upgrade cabinets at the home improvement centers and are the same as from the custom shops. But, at much lower costs. Every cabinet maker bases their pricing on a 10 x 10 kitchen. Cabinetstogo's price for an oak front with plywood side is something like 1,700 dollars and a very reasonable shipping rate. We have since found another place that is local to us, called http://www.kansascitycabinets.com/ and they are even more reasonable with the same construction. Soooo, we will be going with Kansas City Cabinets. I keep saying, to make your dollars stretch further you have to look for the deals. Here's another example, we found wrought iron security storm doors with frame and dead bolt locks for 389 dollars. Not light weight black tubing but wrought iron work. I'm keeping this one secret until we get them installed.

Sibel Edmonds was an interpreter for the FBI. As such she was privy to critical information gained from wiretaps that she had to interpret. Some of the stuff she heard shook her belief in the American Political system. She attempted to bring this information to light but the Bush II administration muzzled her under the State Secrets Clause. Now, due to her testimony for the Ohio Election Commission, she may be able to tell all as the Obama administration is not going to stop her from revealing the treasonous information that she holds. This stuff is really inflammatory, were talking Senators and Representatives being on the take to a foreign county and working to help that country in exchange for cash and property as well as lucrative employment after their political term ran out. Well known names at that. Dennis Hastert, Roy Blunt, Tom Lantos and others. If this information comes out and is proven true then all of the suspects should be found guilty of treason and publicly executed. FBI and CIA employees think she has some real solid information that points to treason.
House Report

We are making progress on the house that we bought at foreclosure. We hired a few teenagers we know to swamp out the basement. That was interesting. Three teenagers covered in mud, traipsing up and down the stairs with buckets filled with mud, trash, debris, junk and who knows what. They did work hard though. We paid them 50 bucks each for 5 hours work and threw in a few pizzas to sweeten the deal. We are really making some progress with the demo type stuff. I'm starting construction type stuff now. The only problem is me. I big and have always been strong as an ox. Now after a lifetime of hard work and even harder play, my body is failing me. Arthritis and some other joint issues are really slowing me down. Wrists and shoulders are the real problems. I broke down and bought a nail gun this morning as I could hardly swing a hammer yesterday. Ain't life a bitch? I've got all this time on my hands now, we have a little money to make the repairs, we have a decent property to work on and I'm falling down on the job. That sucks.

NAFTA No More?
___________________
A group of politicians, Republican and Democrat, are looking to repeal the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Did you notice that, Republicans and Democrats ? Finally the two main parties working toward something that is actually good for American and the American people. Now we just need to see if it gets passed.
That's A Lot of Guns
____________________
You want to know why the Government is unlikely to try a gun confiscation plan? It's because in 2009 Americans added 14,000,000 guns to their home inventories. 14,000,000 guns! That's on top of the 250 million or so the ATF estimates is already in the hands of law abiding civilians. That 2009 number is more guns than 21 of the worlds armies have. Folks, keep the USG nervous, try to top that number this year, another 15-20 million would be OK. I'll try to do my part to help out. In a similar vein, this has become my favorite song.

I've been very busy this week working on the new property. All demo is finally done and I can start on the rehab this week.
I read that Home Land Security wants to read ALL emails originating in this country. Isn't that a Constitutional violation or something?
The Honorable Senator Harry "Fucknut" Reeves calls it a good day when 36,000 folks lose their jobs in one day. Just 36,000. In one day.
Last year Federal regulators shut down 140 banks. So far this year they have shuttered 26. That includes the four that were closed this weekend.
Missing.........jobs. The Government claims they have created or saved untold thousands of jobs. So far the only ones I've seen are more Government jobs.
The Supreme Court has heard arguments in the McDonald case. Chicago says they have the right to ban handguns, the plaintiff says they don't. Is this case going to finally settle the question that was never in need of asking? It's a plain as can be, " the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". Reports say that the Justices were somewhat ambivalent and peppered both sides, revealing no hint as to their final decision.
Now I'm off to start getting the motor out of the Harley.

Blog list update
__________________
Take a look at the blog list on the right and you will see I have added a couple of sites. The first is The Sipsey Street Irregulars. Hardcore constitutionalist and ready to take on any who violate our trust and rights. The second is lighter but still with some thought provoking humor, Day By Day Cartoon keeps me entertained on a daily basis. Check these sites out frequently. SSI has a very good article today.
Tax Protesters
___________________
I'm not a believer in the Federal income tax system. It is extortion money plain and simple. Pay up or we will imprison you or kill you. How's that for a voluntary system? It seems several government programs are run in such a manner. How's this one...get a permit to sell guns or we will hound you to poverty, imprison you or just kill you. That one is referring to an activity that had no real regulation to it until 1963. Then the .gov decided it was terrible to have the people arming themselves with things that could jeopardize the illegal, unconstitutional activities that have been going on ever since. Any hoo, in regard to income tax, look up section 861 of the income tax code some time. It is so inflammatory the IRS is deleting it from newly published code manuals. AND saying it doesn't really mean what it says. Ex-IRS agent Sherry Peel Jackson is doing time for spreading this 861 info. She was actually arrested and convicted for not paying her income taxes per section 861 but she really made the IRS mad, real mad, when she went on a speaking tour, spreading DVDs out, telling the story of section 861. But back to my point, here is a lengthy article on the income tax system.
The Obama Machine
______________________
Look at this video that details all the crap Obama is signing into law that is threatening our very freedoms. He has really been busy when not out on dates, jet setting around, going shopping and attending concerts and apologising for all Of Americas "mistakes". This man is probably the most dangerous individual to ever hold this office.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
_________________________
I'm sitting here contemplating this latest round of snow. We receive another 5 inches today. More shoveling, only this time for two houses and 1 apartment. Hooray for global warming! How can any one believe in global warming? It gets warmer, it gets cooler. That's the way it is and that's the way it has always been. Forever.
House Plan 4
________________
Good news! We don't need a new roof, we just needed to repair the roof the inept previous owner put on. Seriously, it has a new Timberline roof, someone just wasn't skilled at roofing. So my brother and I were on the roof in 35 degree weather with a 10-15 mph breeze blowin' and the sky threatening rain or snow. Most repairs are done, at least the ones that can be done in winter weather. Spring weather will allow some other repairs. Any way, that was a load off my mind.
CPAC Results
___________________
The Conservative Political Action Conference has held it's annual meeting this past week. They had an impressive list of speakers this year. Ann Coulter was on hand to offer her sharp, caustic wit, Judge Andrew Napolitano was there as was Mitt Romney. CPAC does a straw poll of all potential conservative Presidential Candidates. This year Ron Paul won the poll with 33 percent of the vote. Mitt came in second at 20 some odd percent. Since the last presidential election cycle, the one in which Dr. Paul was mostly ignored, he has become the go to guy for all things political by the news groups that dismissed him during the election. A person (professional asshat), from the Fox News network made the closing speech at this years meeting. I wonder what he thinks of the straw poll results as he thinks that Ron Paul is a kook and anyone that supports him is a member of the tin foil hat club.
The new poor?
_____________________
I read today that there is a new class of Americans that may be called the new poor. These folks, myself included, are the chronically unemployed. I personally have been out of work for over a year and thankfully, I still have 1 or 2 unemployment claims or extensions left. But there are millions (2.7 million to be closer) of people that are facing the end of any unemployment benefits by the end of April. The article went on to say that it may be years before people like me can find a regular job. Years! I can find work but it is intermittent, sporadic and low paying at best. And it is work that I drum up myself, not in an office, at a jobsite or in a factory. I have been told I'm not qualified to do the things I have done for the last 10 years(maintenance and construction management) and I have been told I'm not qualified to be a custodian. So if I'm not qualified for anything in between what do I do? Anything I can find that will pay me, preferably in cash. There are millions of people that are in the same position. Good, hard working folks that, at this time, have no real employment future. I want to personally thank past President George W. Bush for my job loss and Pseudo President Obama for continuing the unemployment cycle. It used to be said that a way to improve a failing economy was to go to war. Well, we're on two battle fronts and that hasn't improve the economy any. Maybe it takes a real World War to make real job growth. Truthfully, as intermarried as the world economy is, I don't think things will ever get back on track. Look at the latest ripple, Toyota builds some crappy cars, so the stock market drops and anyone that sells to Toyota or supports them or is supported by them loses their market value and it just goes down the line to the smallest provider of the smallest vendor to the car maker. Purveyors of nuts, bolts, uniforms, paint, steel, tires, glass, fabric, wire and so on all see a drop in their business and their market value. The entire world is tied together like this so a hiccup on one side of the world causes a rash on the other side.

The census is coming, the census is coming
________________________________
It's 2010 and time for the census. The Constitution calls for an enumeration of the people every 10 years. That means a counting of the people. It doesn't mean asking for your race, number of toilets, number of rooms in your house or anything else. It just needs to know how many folks there are in the nation so they can determine political districts and how may Representatives and Senators are needed. So, when that form comes to you it's real easy to complete, just fill in the number of people living at your address and send it back.
Glen Beck..professional asshat
_____________________
I quit watching Glen Beck when he linked the murderer at the Jewish Center in DC to 911 truthers. I have not watched this moron since. I found today that he continues to prove his complete idiocy when he linked the Tea Party and constitutionalists to the murderer that crashed his plane into the building in Austin TX. What do you think?
Bill O'Reilly...senior asshat
____________________
I just started watching Bill again and now I will have to stop watching him forever. First, he thinks that mayors and governors have the right to suspend Constitutional rights during weather events (state of emergency to Bill), is bashing the Oath Keepers because they are urging their members not to abide by unconstitutional laws, and now wants conservatives to lay off his buddy Barack. All of these recent revelations have elevated him to Senior Asshat in my opinion. Once again, what do you think? Fox News is really starting to take a left lean of late. I rarely watch Fox any more and when I do I get crap like this.
House Plan III
_________________
We signed on the foreclosed property last night. Now my work really begins. Lots of plumbing, drywall and painting to do in addition to a bathroom rebuild, a kitchen remodel and an HVAC system to install. Bonus! I found out this morning, the roof needs to be repaired over the living room (it's wet and rainy here today). Oh well I really can't bitch about any of this when we bought over 2000 sf for 26 grand. So tomorrow morning, let the games begin.

Real Money II
_____________________
A while back I had posted some info about a Georgia State Representative pushing a bill to make gold and silver the official currency of the State of Georgia. I don't know if that bill has been started or if it is even alive today. Now comes South Carolina to the party. Representative Mark Pitts has introduced legislation to make, you guessed it, gold and silver the official currency of the State. Once again the reason given is lack of trust in the paper, debt backed fiat dollars we are using now as well as distrust of the US market and it's ability to stay afloat. One "expert" says that gold is "unstable" and using it for money is unconstitutional as well. Unconstitutional? He should try reading Article 1 section 10 of the US Constitution which says, "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque or Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of debts..." Maybe he needs to be made aware of a thing called the Constitution as it is evident he's not fully aware of it's existence.
NorthCom
_______________
I found this here a while back and I found it over here today. If you have been paying attention to the development of the US Army's NorthCom this is really interesting. It seems the Ruskies are keeping an eye on the situation too. Maybe the Roosians are making the same plans the USG is. What is all the military build up for anyway, in case the Canadians invade? Do they really need tanks and such to assist with floods, fires and earthquakes?
Shootin' Fun
_________________
I took the T/C Contender out yesterday for a little hand cannon fun. I haven't shot this thing in over a year so I was a little rusty at first but I warmed up right away. The barrel of the day was 14 inches long and chambered in 30/30 Winchester, wearing a Simmons 2-7 power pistol scope in a T/C Duo Mount. I started up with a reasonable warm up of 25 yard. I thought I was missing by a large margin but examination showed I was on as far as windage but elevation was about 2 inches low. 7 shot all clustered in a tight little 1.5 inch group. I then moved to the 100 yard range took a couple of shots and adjusted the scope and started hitting little rocks and such with every shot. COOOl! I might add that I have a generous brother in law who owns an old rock quarry and lets me shoot there. 30 shots later I was out of ammo and happy as a clam. Later I was at my brothers house and leaning on the deck and my right elbow started shaking. Brother wondered what was going on. I didn't know. Then it came to me, 30 shots of a rifle cartridge from a heavy pistol might have had something to do with it. I can't wait until I get the 45/70 barrel set up.

House Plans
__________________
We have finally heard from the realtor about our closing on the foreclosed property. In regards to the early close the bank wanted, we are closing 1 day early. One. At least we're closing. Finally. I say that but in all actuality this has been a very short lived process. So by next week I will be ass deep in home repairs and renovations. And my ass is pretty far from the floor.
Projects

This morning I installed a stainless Duo Mount on my Contender 45/70 barrel. Now I need a stainless scope for it and some powder and bullets and I'm all set to go shootin'. Then I cold blued my Dad's Marlin Glenfield model 60 barrel, installed the new magazine tube, staked the tube in place and glued the cracked wrist. Maybe it'll end up with a real scope on it in place of the 7/8 inch tube on it now. I wish I had more projects like this as I really enjoy this type of work. Work hell! This kinda stuff is fun to me.

We have finally heard from the realtor about our closing on the foreclosed property. In regards to the early close the bank wanted, we are closing 1 day early. One. At least we're closing. Finally. I say that but in all actuality this has been a very short lived process. So by next week I will be ass deep in home repairs and renovations. And my ass is pretty far from the floor.

Economic Revelations
__________________
I saw the following information at the Survival Blog of James Rawles and found the articles interesting and wanted to pass them on.
I have been warning friends and family alike that this is coming ever closer, a collapse of the commercial real estate market. There are thousands of commercial building that are empty or devalued and still have mortgage payments due on the older higher value. The piper is calling on these properties much like the residential real estate bubble was burst. Read more about it here.
In the same vein, it seems that 1 in 5 home owners owe more for their home than it is currently worth. These home owners are more susceptible to defaulting on the loan. This brings us even closer to another wave of foreclosures and displaced families.
Finally, I saw this article on how society is going to be change due to long term, chronic unemployment much like that of the depression. This is really important as the current administration is saying that it might be several years before the job market gets better. The national unemployment average is around 10 percent. A quick count of our friends and family yields a 50 percent unemployment rate. When you read all this and reflect on what it means to you and the country, can you tell me how the economy can possibly be getting better, as promised by our government. How can it get better with the coming collapse of commercial real estate, another possible residential default wave and an unemployment situation that may span years?
More House Stuff
______________
Five days and counting until our official close date on the property we are buying. Still no word from the bank on that "early" close they had inquired about. If you are looking to do some remodeling in your home, Lowes has a great sale going on the Sauder line of closet organizing systems. I mean really deep cuts. We bought an item that was normally 79 dollars for 18 bucks. We went back this morning and got more items for the walk in closet I'm going to build. We dropped 250 on this stuff. The before sale price would have been over 500 dollars. It's keeping your eyes open for deals like this that let you stretch your dollars. We went to the Kansas City Remodeling Show yesterday. We expected to get a lot of helpful information for all our upcoming projects, in actuality we were very disappointed with this years show. We also bought a gas range and dishwasher deeply discounted as Sears on Friday, an eleven hundred dollar range for 799 and an 800 dollar dishwasher for 671. Plus a 5 percent discount for applying for a Sears card. Now, we WILL NOT use the card but it did get us the discount that nearly paid for the sales tax. You gotta look for the deals to make it all work out.

Open Policy. Riiight.
______________
We have a man Sitting In The Presidents Chair that has continually promised open and transparent government while at the same time spending nearly 800,000 dollars to keep his background secret. We have had closed door meetings about health care, jobs, more health care, economic bailouts and a host of other items that should be open discussion for all Americans to witness. We should have seen this coming when the liberals asked McCain for his birth record and he presented them, pronto. On the other hand when the same was asked of Barry, AKA, Barack, AKA MaoBama he stalled, lied and sued to keep his birth record secret (don't hand me that crap about the faked Hawaiian COB. At the time that was one of the easiest document in the world to acquire), he sued to keep his scholastic records secret, he refused to honestly answer any questions about his youth, family, citizenship, early travels or anything that could or could not prove his eligibility to hold The Office Of The President. He and his liberal/socialist backers have stone walled at every opportunity and cast derogatory names at anyone asking question of his birth record and scholastic history. Take a look at this article and watch the accompanying video that is delving into his so called scholastic achievements. My favorite part is Barack Hussein Long Legged Mac Daddy Obama.
http://americangrandjury.org/investigators-declare-obama-never-attended-columbia-university
I find it amazing that NO ONE remembers Barry from college. Students, Staff, Faculty all claim no remembrances of him. AND, there are no photos of him in any year books, fraternity records or anything. What a mystery man! Who are his backer? Where did he come from and whose agenda is he pushing? It's certainly not the agenda of the American Citizen.

Military "Quartering" in Pennsylvania
___________________________
Earlier I posted some info about posse comitatus, well, lo and behold look what I found over at Alex Jones place. http://www.infowars.com/de-facto-military-occupation-of-pennsylvania/
The military has moved into Pa. ostensibly to help out with the weather related problems but as I noted earlier most national guard troops are federalized. If you look around you can find this kind of violations every where and we are letting it happen. Did you read that, we are LETTING it happen. We as a nation are being fooled into turning this country into a socialistic, one world type of UN region.

Jay Nixon, Military Overlord?
______________________
Chairman MaoBama has tapped Missouri Governor Nixon to sit on a new board of governors that will oversee military action in the US. If they're talking military action as in police duties or insurrections, that is already covered by the Constitution in a little thing called Posse Comitatus. That means NO troops are to be, as the Colonials said, "quartered" with the citizenry. That means no using Federal troops to police your people. State Militias were OK just not any Federal troops. Whoops, all of our State Militias, i.e. the National Guard have been federalized. Any way, Jay Nixon was the Governor who was fine with the statements made by the Missouri Fusion Centers MIAC Document when they wrongly claimed that home schoolers, gun owners, veterans, and a host of other regular type folks were to be looked at as terrorists. And this asswipe is going to review any military action in the US? I can see him with a bowl of popcorn "reviewing" the military action via a monitor playing video from a Predator drone camera. Any way, read the article here.
It's Better Now But Not?
_____________________
The One Sitting In The Presidents Chair and his illustrious staff of crooks, creeps and felons made a long winded statement that boiled down to "The economy is getting better but unemployment will get worse". WTF? These amateur politicians continue step on their toes every day while stepping on our toes several times a day, Seriously, they think things are better if if the unemployment remains high for several years? What kind of idiocy is that?
Anticipayation is making me wait...
_________________________
We are still waiting on the bank that owns the property we are trying to buy, to give us the early closing they asked for. We are now 8 days away from the original closing date. When they asked for an early close, we got busy and started drawing, sketching, planning, shopping, attending classes in preparation for starting the remodel of the house. Well, the bank is putting a damper on our enthusiasm with their slowness to arrive at an "early" closing. Maybe they meant early morning? Or early evening? Who knows. We do have a call in to the realtor who has not called us back yet. After reviewing the photos and drawings I made of the interior, I found a neat little niche in the basement were I can build a gun vault. One wall will enclose the space. Then comes the real bitch, putting a concrete lid on the room. Oh well, hard jobs just make your better. I found another niche where we can set up a nice little den with its own fireplace.

Gun Ban Over Snow?
_________________
We have all heard of the massive snow storm to hit the eastern seaboard and SE US. What isn't being disseminated is that when a state of emergency is declared, they can and will do what ever they want, constitutional or not. Look at King, North Carolina, this town has enacted a state of emergency and as part of this declaration have enacted a restriction on alcohol sales and instituted a curfew as well as a ban on firearms and ammunition and the carrying of firearms other than on your own property. While they have relaxed the alcohol and curfew impositions they continue to enforce the gun and ammo ban. Now understand we are talking about a TOWN, not a state. A town has declared a state of emergency and has suspended constitutional rights. No wonder they want a lid on the firearms. The state of emergency was lifted this morning but still, the fact remains that a small town stripped it's citizens of basic rights because of a snow storm. Here's what Judge Napolitano has to say on basic rights, focused n the Second Amendment.
Snow Storm Preparations
______________________
We were watching the local news last night and as expected the weather guessers were out in force. One video show some folks on the Kansas side leaving a grocery store where they were "stocking up" for the storm in case they were snowed in. In the minds of these sheeple, stocking up meant a small plastic bag half full of snacks and such. Seriously, you could see through the plastic bags and most of the people were buying snacks to hold them over in the event they were snowed in with the 3 inches that came down. Evidently they don't know what stocking up really means. First, stocking up means you don't need to run to the store before weather hits. Secondly, you don't wait for an emergency to stock up
