Based upon the decapitation videos over on borderlandbeat.com it looks like the cartels favor folding Buck knives. Guess the Obama hasn't figured that out yet or Buck's future would be in trouble.

When the hell is Issa going to get off his butt and bring Fast and Furious to a head? It seems that this administration can stonewall and no one's got the moxie to break through.

Not to convict, maybe, but if there's a big enough stink, enough to impeach. And remember Nixon. He resigned, not that Obama would have the decency.
[THEHILL] Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he shares colleagues' concerns that the Affordable Care Act could become a "train wreck" if it's not implemented properly.
Reid warned that people will not be able to choose health insurance plans on government health exchanges if federal authorities lack the resources to set them up and educate the public.

Appears the stage is being set to blame the Congress for the program's failure due to lack of proper funding.

It was known from the start it (ACA) would not work nor could it work; it was not intended to work, but rather to fail. After it failed the intended true National Health Care would be brought forward as the solution - and would likely pass.

Costs for both group health plans and individual plans will increase dramatically this fall as the exchanges are launched. Individual plans for those under age 50 will see premiums double and either opt for purchasing a subsidized inferior plan under the exchanges or dropping insurance altogether.
Those in group health plans will see their premiums and deductibles increase and blame ObamaCare.
I can't see how this translates into a demand for national health care.

20% of the US economy and they "spent months" on it. A bottomless pit of bureaucrats and graft. FUD

I'm studying for my doctorate in health administration and we've spent the better part of 16 weeks studying the PPACA.
On a first time strafing run gloss over read, ObambiCare has a lot of good ideas in it. However, when you read deeper, the same flaws that have contributed to the astronomical cost increases in health care are still there.
We have no national health care policy and all we do is pile more regulation on top of more regulation. The NIH says over $700 Billion is wasted due to over regulation, over treatment, and defensive medicine.
ObambiCare is just another bone thrown to the Insurance companies, the AMA, and the Trial Lawyers.
Any "reform" of health care intended to address cost that does not include meaningful reforms in malpractice tort is not a reform.
The physicians are getting rich and no matter what Obambi says, health care will soon be a luxury of the affluent. Heck I make almost $200K a year (household income) and we CANNOT AFFORD insurance under ObumbleCare.
The legislation is not meaningful health care reform.

Oh, one more thing don't worry about nationalized health care.
As long as the doctors, lawyers, and pharmaceutical companies throw money at the Dems, we will not have national health care.
Both the doctors and lawyers are vehemently opposed to nationalizing health care.

BC, I suppose SOME doctors are getting rich (I see a house being built by one just down the street from me...) but I can state emphatically that not all are. Young ones just coming out can barely make student loan payments and rent - if they can get a job at all. Son-in-law is working 'contract' covering off-hours shifts, with 'self-employed' social security taxes and no benefits. He tells me he's not alone in saying if he had it all to do over again he would not go into medicine.

I agree with you Glenmore. But there is a solution to the inevitable shortage of doctors as the 50+ doctors retire and the top students choose non doctor professions. "Doctor Singh and Doctor Reddy will be happy to see you"

So-o-o instead of borrowing US$85.0Bilyuhn per month per annum for Monetary Easing, the Fed clearly needs to borrow US$100.0Bilyuhn or more a month???

Bull Hooyie! The Health Insurance industry is total panic right now. Their contingency flow-charts look like Rube Goldberg on Acid. Dont fool yourself; theyre the intended goat of the ACAs Creative Destruction.

If anyone had smarts at CBS, they'd have discovered their new director [and hirer and firer] of the news division. Third place in the ratings isn't a good bracket. When Univision is giving NBC a challenge in general broadcasting ratings, it's time to clean house before the rest of your demographic dies off.

To give credit where credit is due, Univision has much hotter newsbabes. Plus, if you can't understand what they are saying, the news is less stupid.
The big news here is that someone in the mainstream media is getting up off their knees and actually reporting news instead of just being part of the ongoing Obamallatio

I asked a few days ago after the Boston bombing suspects turned out to be Chechen instead of Tea Party types if the MSM would finally turn on Obama. I mean, after a while the credibility gap might get to be a bit much even for them and especially if the Average Joe begins to see behind the curtain. If the MSM perceives that the public is no longer buying it they could very well throw Obama under the bus. If and when that ever happens you will need a lot of popcorn.

I agree. It will be interesting to see how long it takes the Regime to send in Federal Judges, or the Deputy US Attorney General, and US Marshals. Of course there is always the 82nd Airborne and Federalization of the National Guard.

Besoeker, Holder sent Gov. Brownback of Kansas a nastygram the other day threatening action against the state if they interfere with federal agents attempting to enforce any federal laws. This was in response to Kansas passing a law prohibiting federal agents from any gun collecting activities via executive order.

Holder and Obama are certainly pushing the envelope. I can tell you State and local Law Enforcement (LE) below the Mason Dixon want nothing to do with these bastids or their Federal enforcers. If an actual conflict or face-off develops, I don't think it will be between civilians [non-law enforcement types].
The American Dream ended (on November 6th) in Ohio. The second term of Barack Obama will be the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest Republic in the history of mankind.
A coalition of Blacks, Latinos, Feminists, Gays, Government Workers, Union Members, Environmental Extremists, The Media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the "forever needy," the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other "fellow travelers" have ended Norman Rockwell's America.
The Cocker Spaniel is off the front porch...the Pit Bull is in the back yard.
The American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and Chicago shyster, David Axelrod, along with international Socialist George Soros will be pulling the strings on their beige puppet to bring us Act 2 of the New World Order.
Our side ran two candidates who couldn't even win their own home states, and the circus fattster Chris Christie helped Obama over the top with a glowing "post Sandy" tribute that elevated the "Commander-in-Chief" to Mother Teresa status.
People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will never again comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.
You will never again out vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take Zealots, not moderates--not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.
Those who come after us will have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to "white guilt" and political correctness.....

Can't speak for other States, but in Texas the Feds will be facing the State Police, Militia and however many people they can deputize. There won't be any shortage of volunteers.

This act may be rebellion by definition, but then our founders were also rebels, and I am confident that they would agree that such an overreach by the Fed should be met with a solid wall of resistance. At this point, we've merely traded one tyranny for another.

Besoeker, I don't remember writing that, but I certainly could have...
In short, it is a statement verifying that firearms, ammunition, and accessories made and used in the State of Kansas are not subject to the Federal Interstate Commerce powers.
Snippit of Holder's fast and furious response:
"Federal officers who are responsible for enforcing federal laws and regulations in order to maintain public safety cannot be forced to choose between the risk of a criminal prosecution by a state and the continued performance of their federal duties," Holder wrote.
The law also bans federal or other agents from enforcing federal regulations in the making or sale of Kansas-made firearms.
Holder said a state "may not criminalize the exercise of federal responsibilities" and that all federal laws remain in effect.
(Also passed in KS was a loosening of the CC restrictions, with such statements, in my own words, if a public building or area cannot guarantee security at every entrance, then conceal carry is allowed in that building. It is a very broad and open resolution. Both items passed with almost unanimous backing in the Kansas Congress.)
Seems a good opportunity to admit my eye rolling at Mr. Brownback's presidential bid in '08 was very, very wrong. We now have voter ID, are among the supporters of drug testing my in-laws whose idea of prepping for a job interview is a six pack, and his business initiatives are very agreeable as well. Glad to be wrong.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
