In a stunning move, Barry Soto announced crippling sanctions to be imposed on Russia as retaliation for the sanctions that Russia imposed on the US in retaliation for the sanctions Obama placed on Russia in retaliation for invading Crimea. The POTUS announced that for the next 60 days, the White House will boycott Russia Vodka! They are hoping that other government agencies will follow suit. Just last year, the White House consumed over $200k worth of the stuff.
The Kremlin was reeling from the crippling blow to their economy. In a statement by Vladimir Putin, he indicated that the Russian people are strong and determined people. They can weather any thing the WH can throw at them.
NATO insiders who were not authorized to comment, indicated that such sanctions could escalate the hostilities. They believe that Putin will respond tit for tat in the next weeks ahead. This insider suggested that Putin may cut off his HBO subscription and possibly return the "reset button" that was presented by Hillary Clinton. NATO is taking a "wait and see" approach to this ever escalating Cold War.
I strongly suggest my readers(s) to avoid imports of caviar, as they may contain mind control drugs. Be prepared and ever vigilant.

Are You Frustrated too?
Is it just me or has the world gone mad? With the Syrian crisis unchanged and Iran announcing the have multiple warhead missiles and Putin taking Crimea with impunity, it clearly shows that a nation that elects a rookie Illinois state senator to the most powerful position on Earth is watching the epic failure from a front row seat.
Add to the mix with Obummercare, IRS and still no answers on Benghazi and you want to blow your head off. But instead, I am going to tuff it out and vote the SOB's out.
Vote early and often.

Powerless to stop the trainwreck
Ever feel totally powerless? I mean really powerless? Well it used to be WE THE PEOPLE, now our lawmakers, administration and Supreme Court all treat us like THEY know better. Those in power want to hold on to it. We are treated like we are stupid simpletons that shouldn't be allowed to make our own decisions.
Let's take education. It has long been a given that each local district should fund, elect and control what and how our children are taught. Now we are told by a Federal Department of Education every aspect of how our schools are run. Why? Because the states decided to accept funding from the Feds.
Then there is your healthcare. Geez! Don't get me started. Just plan on watching it implode and become the largest waste of money every conceived.
Now as we see just how the administration is trying to make their lack of a budget painful. Let me see, by law they MUST have a budget every year. No budget for over 5 years. That is a total travesty.
I, for one, cannot wait to participate in the 2014 midterm elections. I really pray that a lot of lawmakers, especially Harry Reid, become unemployed.

Are you sick of ObamaCare yet?
From the time I first read the proposed and then final bill, I knew we were in for a disaster. This legislation dreamed up behind closed doors, birthed of a Democrat controlled government and implemented by FAR LEFT/Socialist appointees. Sebelius was handed a $2B slush fund without controls and a blank sheet of paper when it comes to regulations. What else would you expect from this administration? Ramming through sweetheart deals for his bundlers and donors, he has created a nation of unemployed, discouraged and dependent citizens. If you think this legislation is about getting insurance for the uninsured, you are smoking something. This is all about control. Control of you, your money, your rights, your life, your future. The next step will be what they really were trying to get, that is single payer healthcare. Cradle to grave, they will control it all. Time to de-fund this train wreck!
VOTE the bastards out.
Keep your head down, the shit is about to fly.

Sun reversing polarity
I don't know what rock I have been under but am I the only one that didn't know that the Sun reverses its magnetic poles about every 11 years???? I didn't sleep through science class and I pay pretty close attention to current events. This is the first time that I recall NASA telling us that this routine "flip" of the solar poles is a good thing. If it happens on the Sun, why wouldn't it happen on the Earth? We know that would create cataclysmic change on our planet. They also released that there is a huge hole in the Sun. No wonder so many people are prepping for various disasters.
If you haven't started prepping, you need to seriously consider what would happen if our food, water, energy supplies were disrupted for even a few weeks. Are you going to survive without Big Brother taking care of you? Will you survive or be a statistic?
Think about it, the Sun is flipping soon.
Stay Safe. Stockpile some supplies and wear sunglasses....

Lost Jobs
I'm not big on reposting the works of others, but this was just too good not to quote.
According to author James Pethokoukis on AEI Ideas, here are some job facts you won't find Washington or the mainstream media talking about.
"
1. Over 69 percent of the jobs created in Q2 2013 and over 57 percent of all the jobs created in the first half of 2013 were created in the three lowest wage sub-sectors of the economy, Retail Trade, Administrative and Waste Services, and Leisure and Hospitality, that otherwise account for an aggregate of only 33 percent of all private sector jobs.
2. These jobs, in the aggregate, pay an average of only $15.80 per hour, compared with the other two-thirds of private sector jobs, which pay $27.16 per hour. Relative to unemployment benefits and other assistance, jobs at $15.80 per hour put less than $3.00/hour more in the pockets of a newly working consumer.
3. About half of the jobs created during the first half of 2013, and a large majority of the jobs created in Q2 2013, appear to have been part-time jobsthat offer employees as little as one hour of work per week, and up to 35 hours of work.
4. After falling from a recession high of 9.2 million to a post-recession low of 7.6 million at the end of Q1 2013, the number of people saying they are working part time because they can’t find full time work (part time for economic reasons) crept back up to 8.2 million, double pre-recession levels.
5. Nearly 100 percent of the decline in the U-3 unemployment rate has been the result of there being fewer workers in the labor force as a percentage of the employable population. If the Labor Force Participation Rate had not fallen from October 2009, when unemployment hit its Great Recession peak of 10 percent, unemployment would today still be around 10 percent. Moreover, if the LFPR were held constant from its highest pre-recession level of 66.40 percent in January 2007 (when unemployment was 4.6 percent), the U-3 unemployment rate would be nearly 12 percent today. "

As you can see in #1, the jobs created are McJobs. Not the machining, production, steel work, construction or financial jobs. Ones that used to pay a decent wage are being replaced with part time, low wage jobs. Funny that the mainstream keeps talking about the lower unemployment rates but not the fact that there are far fewer people actually working, millions more on food stamps, and the jobs that were created are at a much lower wage.
I can tell you from experience, jobs in my industry are paying 30-40% less IF you can get one. They laid off the older, higher paid workers and hired at a much lower wage or outsourced the products to other countries.
THIS administration is all about lies, deflection and cover up.
I was asked the question, "Do you think we can turn it around?". I fear that would be wishful thinking. The elite have built their power base and the jobs are permanently lost.
Stay safe, prep and vote this bunch of UnAmerican liars out of office.

Off to the Gun Show!
The monthly Crossroads of the West is in town this week. The crowds flock to browse, shop and cart off loads of goodies. For me it's not so much the merchandise that is at the show, rather the crowd watching. Toddlers in strollers, pregnant moms, grandma and grandpa, old, young, doctors, lawyers, construction workers, the young couples, all there to find something.
Last time I was in line for bulk ammo, two elderly ladies were in line behind me and they struck up a conversation. They chatted about the particular firearms they owned and which were their favorites. We chatted about reloading, ammo types, politics (yes they were conservative) and the times in general. (Did I mention this was a pretty long line?)
I don't know what the crowds will be like in the heat of the summer, but I expect it won't deter everyone. We'll see what goodies they have....Off to the show.
Stay safe, point the muzzle downrange and prep.
