Rather than banning Knives, perhaps outlawing men who wear Wigs would makes more sense.





















     Try to imagine, if you will, that little Alfie Evans (pictured top right) was born into Royalty, rather than a Commoner, a 21st Century serf, do you honestly believe his life would have been snuffed out by Her Majesty's Justice Anthony Hayden (pictured lower left)?

     If little Alfie Evans had been born into Royalty, his fate most likely would have been much different...more humane.  A 'Royal' Little Alfie, most likely would have been banished to some secluded, backwoods institution to live out his pathetic existence.  Neatly tucked away from the world, a world committed to keeping a family's shameful secret.

     In 'the real World,' Real people mourn for the loss of little Alfie Evans.  In their World, it is simply a matter of who will be assigned to pull the plug, and its, Adios Alfie.

Obama's latest attempt to insert himself into the Gun Control issue

Remember the last time Obama tried to appear relevant
 in gun-related issues?

February 2, 2013, an article appeared in the Washington Post featuring then President, Barack Obama skeet shooting at Camp David.

 "On his 51st birthday last August, President Obama hit the links with a group of buddies and then flew by helicopter to Camp David. There, he changed into jeans and picked up a shotgun. And then, before it got too dark, he started a round of clay target shooting."

     Obama's critics had a field day with mocking the Chief Executive following the release of photos showing his alleged newly found interest in 'skeet-shooting.'


     The unlikely prospect of Obama picking up a gun and heading out back to do some 'skeeting,' didn't set well with skeptical reporters, who understandably suspected that the spectacle was more like a photo op to "rally public support behind his ambitious agenda to tighten gun laws."

     Most observers will agree,  Obama's only real accomplishment in his war on gun rights in this country was to generated a massive increase in gun sales. 

     Very few gun rights proponents would disagree with Obama's desire to see stricter measures put in place curtailing weapons falling into the hands of certain categories of individual buyers.  Those found to be mentally incompetent obviously heads this list.  Underage buying also has become a more recent abuse.  But as we all know, even with the most rigid of regulations in place, if someone falling into either of these categories is intent on possessing a weapon, surely they will find an express pathway around the law. 

     As someone recently observed, “Only the law-abiding citizens comply with gun laws.  Criminals and terrorists neither comply with, nor care about, gun laws. They generally obtain their weapons illegally, anyway." 


     Common sense reasoning most likely will always lead to this same conclusion. We don't need additional laws. Simply start enforcing the over abundance of rules and regulation we already have on the books.

Time to take a closer look at that man behind the curtain. The one claiming he had a "scandal-free" administration.

The Five Eyes is an intelligence alliance comprised of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the 
United States. 

     According to former National Security Agency (NSA) Subcontractor Edward Snowden, "These Five states have been involved in spying on one another’s citizens, and share the gathered details with each other in order to evade restrictive domestic regulations on the citizen’s surveillance."

     Leave it to the government...you know, those who make the laws for all of us, to dance around those same rules, in order to gather personal, and otherwise private information on its own citizens, in order to (the irony) bring them to face justice for what they determine to be against that nation's laws?#!??? Quite simply, nothing more than a legal loophole allowing one 5-Eye-member country to surveil another country’s citizens and report “anything suspicious” to that partner. 


Note: Snowden made headlines in 2013, and remains in the news, after leaking top secret information about NSA surveillance activities. He reportedly is residing in Moscow, but apparently continues to look elsewhere, within other nations, for asylum, and evasion of US authorities. 

     Oh yeah...what about those claims from 'Mister-I-didn't-do-nuffin,' and his scandal free administration?  Here are just a few of the more notables worth mentioning.
IRS Targeting Scandal, VA Waiting List, GSA Spending Spree, Attack on the Benghazi Compound, Clinton Emails, Fast and Furious Gun Walking, Solyndra Subsidies, DOJ and the New Black Panther Party, and last, but certainly not least, 'all others deemed by the media to be nothing more than minor or insignificant overblown Conservative talking points.'  A great source for Obama's greatest scandalous hits:
“The Scandalous Presidency of Barack Obama.”
