Bye, Bye, Boehner – Here Comes the Rebirth of the Tea Party

(Dr. Jerome R. Corsi/Tea Party) –“Bye, Bye, Boehner,” was the message of last week’s tax revolt among House Republicans who refused to go along with the Speaker’s proposed “Plan B.”

The message was loud and clear: Republicans in the House do not want to face re-election in 2014 on a record that appeared to have raised taxes, even if Boehner’s carefully crafted Plan B technically avoided any specified tax rate increases.

IT"S TIME FOR BOEHNER TO STEP DOWN, HIS IDEAS ARE NOT OUR IDEAS!!!!!

HOUSE GOP CIRCULATES PLAN TO OUST BOEHNER

Several conservative House Republican members are contemplating a plan to unseat Speaker John Boehner from his position on January 3, Breitbart News has exclusively learned. Staffers have compiled a detailed action plan that, if executed, could make this a reality.

The Republicans, both conservatives and more establishment members alike, are emboldened after the failure of Boehner’s fiscal cliff “Plan B” on Thursday evening. Dissatisfaction with Boehner is growing in the House Republican conference, but until now there hasn’t been a clear path forward.

In my opinion, Boehner is a waste of space and is not doing the job for us like he needs to

Using Tragedies For Political Gain

It's back again. Twenty children are murdered in Connecticut and I am the saddest man on earth. Yes, I cried today when I heard the news about these poor little children. An angry twenty-year old kills his mom, twenty children, adults and then himself. I ask myself, why not just kill yourself and leave all the innocent people alone? So much sadness for no reason, except maybe selfishness.....

A few hours pass and now the Libs are going to use this tragedy for political gain. They want to get rid of the 2nd Ammendment. They want to take our guns away from us. What has this world come too? Gun control is not the answer. Real parenting would be the answer to some of the problems in this country. If parents gave their kids more hugs and direction, maybe kids would grow up healthier on the inside where it counts. You ever hear about spare the rod and spoil the child.

Blame it on video games and guns if you want to. This twenty year old boy was sick in the head. Killing anybody is horrible, but killing children takes somebody with an ugly black hole in his sole. Using tragedies like this to enhance your agenda in politics is something we expect from liberals, but still surprised me each and every time.

The media needs to leave the people involved with this tragedy alone. They need to stop trying to interview little children. They need to allow this town in Connecticut to grieve from this horrible tragedy. I am sitting here grieving myself and I am hundreds of miles away. We need to pray for the survivors and we need to pray for our country.

Obama Silent as Mexico Jails Former Marine on Trumped-Up Gun Charge

(Breitbart) – A former U.S. Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan has been chained to a bed in a Mexican prison since August. Jon Hammar faces up to 12 years in a Mexican jail on what may be a trumped-up charge of possessing an illegal shotgun. Customs officials had already cleared before the shotgun before he entered Mexico.

On August 23, Hammar and his friend Ian McDonough were en route to Costa Rica on a surfing vacation when they ran into trouble after crossing the Mexican border.

Constitution of The United States

Constitution of The United States

The Federal Convention convened in the State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, to revise the Articles of Confederation. Because the delegations from only two states were at first present, the members adjourned from day to day until a quorum of seven states was obtained on May 25. Through discussion and debate it became clear by mid-June that, rather than amend the existing Articles, the Convention would draft an entirely new frame of government. All through the summer, in closed sessions, the delegates debated, and redrafted the articles of the new Constitution. Among the chief points at issue were how much power to allow the central government, how many representatives in Congress to allow each state, and how these representatives should be elected--directly by the people or by the state legislators. The work of many minds, the Constitution stands as a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise.

How To Make Insecticide Soap And Zap Bugs

Do you want to get rid of bugs in your garden? Do you want to kill roaches and other bugs in your house without paying big bucks for an exterminator? Now is the time to make your own insecticide soap.

Ingredients
vegetable oil
water
dish washing liquid
a spray bottle

Take a spray bottle and fill it three quarters up with water. Take your dish washing detergent and spray a good amount in the spray bottle. Take a teaspoon of oil and drop it into the spray bottle. Fill the spray bottle the rest of the way up with water. Find some bugs in your garden or your house. Spray the bugs with the homemade insecticide soap. Watch the bugs as they twitch and die. The insecticide soap suffocates the bugs and they are no more.

This recipe is cheap and simple, but will kill a ton of bugs. Bugs don't like insecticide soap because it suffocates them. Even roaches cannot survive when they are suffocated, what a shame!
