 Military Shrinks, Regulatory Army Grows 

America's military readiness has been in steady decline ever since Barack nObama took the helm. Yet overall the federal government has grown at an insatiable rate. nObama created numerous government programs that are not only adding trillions of dollars to our national debt but also expanding the government's already excessive influence on matters not granted its authority. A good illustration is seen in the number of federal regulators. There's literally an army of them: 277,000 as of last year.

          But that's not an all-inclusive figure, either. CNS News explains that this figure "include[s] only regulatory agencies that explicitly restrict business transactions in the private sector. That means the 277,000 regulators they recorded in 2015 didn't include anyone from the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, Defense Department, or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — even though these agencies account for roughly one-third of all final rulemaking actions in a typical year."

          Even more disconcerting, consider this: Based on a 2014 "Profile of the Military Community" report, federal regulators now outnumber the Marine Corps (187,891 active duty members) and are closing in on the Air Force (312,453) and Navy (321,599). As we've seen, regulators can wreak a lot of economic havoc. And the fact the number of them compares to that of our military branches should scare everybody. nObama is building the wrong army.  ~The Patriot Post

 Americans' Love-Hate Relationship With Government 

Gallup recently polled Americans regarding their views on what sectors of industry they most trusted. The poll showed that two of the most competitive business industries were at the top of the list — restaurants and the computer industry. Interestingly — but not surprisingly — those industries viewed more negatively by Americans are health care and lawyers. However, even these were not viewed as poorly as the last "business" on the list.

          Predictably, the industry that the American people least trust is the federal government. A mere 28% of Americans view the federal government positively, with 55% viewing it negatively. Citizens' views of the U.S. government have not been this bad since the 1970s. Under Barack nObama, with the passage of such abysmal laws like nObamaCare and the consistent lack of serious action taken to stem the flow of illegal immigration, more Americans may be feeling like the federal government has become all too intrusive, inefficient and flat out untrustworthy. The trouble is, voters always want to seem to give more power to that same federal government. Until that changes, we can expect more of the same.  ~The Patriot Post

Southern Command Warns Sunni

Extremists Infiltrating From South

by Bill Gertz

{freebeacon.com} ~ Sunni extremists are infiltrating the United States with the help of alien smugglers in South America and are crossing U.S. borders with ease, according to a U.S. South Command intelligence report... The Command’s J-2 intelligence directorate reported recently in internal channels that “special interest aliens” are working with a known alien smuggling network in Latin America to reach the United States. The smuggling network was not identified. Army Col. Lisa A. Garcia, a Southcom spokeswoman, did not address the intelligence report directly but said Sunni terrorist infiltration is a security concern...  http://freebeacon.com/national-security/southern-command-warns-sunni-extremists-infiltrating-south/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=a8f2e35588-WFB_Morning_Beacon_08_22_168_21_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-a8f2e35588-45611665

nObama’s State Department Approves

$60 Million Arms Sale to Afghan Government...

by Tim Brown

{constitution.com} ~ The US State Department has approved the sale of $60 million of military goods, which include, equipment, training, support and weapons to the Afghan government...Thursday’s announcement continues to leave many of us shaking our heads that we continue to fund and supply the Afghan government, which is anti-American at its core due to its Sharia compliant constitution. “The proposed sale will enhance the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a strategic partner by providing weapons needed to maintain security and stability, as well as to conduct offensive operations against an ongoing insurgency. A stable and secure Afghanistan is vital to regional stability,” the State Department said...  http://constitution.com/obamas-state-department-approves-60-million-arms-sale-afghan-government-go-wrong/

Brief to Congress on U.S.

‘No First Use’ Nuclear Weapon Policy

by Sam LaGrone

{usni.org} ~ Recent press reports indicate that the nObama Administration might adopt a declaratory policy stating that the United States will not be the first to use nuclear weapons in conflict... These reports have reignited debate about the benefits and risks of this policy, known as a "no first use" pledge. U.S. officials have repeatedly stated that the United States could, under certain circumstances, use nuclear weapons against a state, even if the latter has not already done so. The absence of a "no first use" pledge dates back to the Cold War when the U.S. sought to deter a Soviet attack on the United States and its allies in Europe. The United States has modified its policy to reduce the apparent role of nuclear weapons, but has still not declared that it would not use them first...  https://news.usni.org/2016/08/19/document-brief-congress-u-s-no-first-use-nuclear-weapon-policy?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=e81a29dcdb-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-e81a29dcdb-231491269&mc_cid=e81a29dcdb&mc_eid=3999f18767

How not to betray your country this November

by David Kupelian

{wnd.com} ~  It’s one of the great mysteries of the current election season. On one hand we have Donald Trump, who last week delivered substantive, well-received policy speeches on defeating radical Islam... rescuing America’s disintegrating economy and quelling the growing epidemic of urban racial violence by finally addressing core issues. He even publicly expressed regret over ill-considered comments he has made during the campaign that have “caused personal pain.” On the other hand we have liar-Hillary Clinton, who, despite being protected at every turn by an outrageously biased news media, is the focus of ever-cascading scandals and is now seen by more people than ever as a lying criminal. If elected president, she says she would continue and enlarge nObama’s policies – the same disastrous policies that have destroyed America’s economy, increased terrorism in the homeland, popularized outright socialism, divided the nation into angry warring factions, and maintained a constant flood into the American homeland of unassimilable Muslim immigrants from the most radical places on earth...  http://www.wnd.com/2016/08/how-not-to-betray-your-country-this-november/

Why Hasn't ISIS Blown Up Rome?
by DR. MICHAEL LEDEEN

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ At lunch the other day, a smart man asked me how come there hadn't been terrorism in Italy, even though Islamic State keeps promising to attack the Vatican... You've undoubtedly been asking yourself the same question, so I'm going to give you the answers.  Answers, plural, because hardly anything happens for a simple reason, especially in a country as tricky and complicated as Italy. So there are several reasons. First, Italian intelligence, especially domestic intelligence, is a lot better than you might imagine. They are exceptionally good snoopers, since the state knows that the citizens don't much like the powers-that-be, and so the agents of the state are forever peeking and listening. Sometimes I have believed that the snoopers listen in on every telephone conversation and even face-to-face chats. I've spent a lot of time reading Italian court records, in which I've found transcripts of conversations in bars, in restaurants, and even in taxi cabs...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/why-hasnt-isis-blown-up-rome?f=must_reads

Iran to charge detained U.S. man with

threatening country’s national security
by LISA DAFTARI

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Iran is preparing to indict a detained U.S. man, accusing him of acting against the country's national security interests, a source familiar with the case has told The Foreign Desk... Gholamreza Shahini, 46, known to his friends as Robin, has come under the government's radar for allegedly participating in the Green Revolution of 2009 against the government and collaborating on a TV interview with the US' State Department-backed Voice of America, according to the indictment set to be unveiled at a Revolutionary Court. Shahini will also face a blasphemy charge for ‘insulting the revered' on a Facebook page. Shahini kept an active Facebook profile in Farsi and has been a vocal critic of the country's deplorable human rights record. The page was deleted within days of his disappearance. Lawyers acting on his behalf say they have not been yet been given access to the evidence against him...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/iran-to-charge-detained-us-man-with-threatening-countrys-national-security?f=must_reads

North Korea threatens 'nuclear strike'

against US, South Korea

by David Rosenberg

{israelnationalnews.com} ~ Pyongyang warned the United States and South Korea not to take any “aggressive” actions during their joint military exercise, pledging to respond to any such moves with a nuclear attack against Washington and Seoul... North Korea’s shrill threat came after the defection of a senior North Korean official, Fox News reported, and plans by the US to deploy a missile defense system in South Korea. The rogue state warned that any attempt to catch North Korea off-guard would be met with a nuclear response, adding that the respective capitals of South Korea and the US would be turned into “a heap of ashes through a Korean-style pre-emptive nuclear strike”...

Israeli Jews fear Palestinians, reject plan for PA state

by David Rosenberg

{israelnationalnews.com} ~ Few Israeli Jews and Palestinian Authority Arabs support the basic outline of a final status agreement along the lines of the offer made by then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak to Yasser Arafat in the summer of 2000, a new joint poll reveals... According to the survey, conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute and Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, narrow majorities of both Israelis and Palestinian Authority Arabs support the two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Fifty-one percent of Palestinian Authority residents said they favored the two-state solution, compared to 54% in 2014. Among Israeli Jews, the level was only slightly higher, with 53% supporting a two-state solution. Among all Israelis, 58% said they favored the two-state solution, compared to 62% two years ago...  http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/216754

by Katie Bo Williams

{1776coalition.com} ~ The FBI has uncovered almost 15,000 previously undisclosed documents sent directly to or from liar-Hillary Clinton, State Department lawyers confirmed before a federal judge on Monday... The documents were found during the course of the FBI’s investigation into the Democratic presidential nominee’s use of a personal email server during her time as secretary of State. The number is almost 50 percent more than the 30,000 work-related documents that liar-Clinton’s lawyers turned over to the State Department in 2014. The agency has pledged to release the approximately 14,900 documents and State Department lawyers told District Judge James E. Boasberg on Monday that the agency is “prioritizing” the appraisal of the new emails...  http://www.1776coalition.com/featured-content/but-wait-theres-more-fbi-uncovers-15k-undisclosed-emails-in-clinton-probe

Judge blocks nObama's

transgenders-schools mandate

by Bob Unruh

{wnd.com} ~  In a major blow to the nObama administration’s alternative-sexual-behaviors agenda, a federal judge in Texas late Sunday night blocked the president’s order to open public school restrooms and shower rooms according to “gender identity” and allow boys who believe they are girls to use girls’ facilities... U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor of Fort Worth found that the nObama administration did not follow proper procedures in creating the directives. Further, he said the guidelines contradicted existing statutes and regulatory texts, the Dallas Morning News reported. The ruling follows the nObama administration’s order to allow transgendered persons to serve in the military...  http://www.wnd.com/2016/08/judge-blocks-obamas-transgenders-schools-mandate/

liar-Hillary's Headhunter, Sleazeball Ken Salazar

by Michelle Malkin

{truthrevolt.org} ~ The Loathsome Cowboy rides again.

Ken Salazar, President nObama's disgraced ex-interior secretary and former U.S. senator from Colorado, was named liar-Hillary Clinton's White House transition chair on Monday.

The pick confirms that a liar-Clinton presidency would not only be Barack nObama's third term ideologically, but also culturally. As in the Democratic culture of corruption.

Ken Salazar is a thug. Before stepping down as nObama's interior secretary in 2013 "to spend time with family," Salazar threatened violence against a local Colorado Springs Gazette reporter who had the audacity to challenge one of the ten-gallon hat-wearing bureaucrat's cronyism-tainted deals.

At issue: How rancher and reported Salazar business associate Tom Davis profited handsomely from the Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse and Burro Program. Not long after Salazar took office, Davis paid $10 each for more than 1,700 federally protected horses who roamed on public lands. He then turned around and sold them for slaughter near the Mexican border for $154,000, despite signing a contract prohibiting him from doing so.

When Gazette reporter David Phillips, now at The New York Times asked about the controversy at an nObama election night event in November 2012, Salazar snapped:

"You know what, never do that. This is a -- this is the nObama -- You know what, if you do that to me again, I'm going to punch you out. OK? Don't ever, ever, from the Gazette or anybody else do that to me again. Set me up. You know?"

Caught on tape by Philipps and another witness, Knuckles Salazar issued an "apology." But neither he nor Davis, who said he had previously hauled cattle for Salazar for years, ever answered for their actions. An Inspector General determined Salazar's department "failed to follow its own policy of limiting horse sales and ensuring that the horses sold went to good homes and were not slaughtered." No penalties, no prosecution, no nothing.

Ken Salazar is a liar. He trampled the rule of law, defied court orders, and doctored scientific conclusions in the name of environmental protection. Have you forgotten? After the BP oil spill in 2010, the nObama White House imposed a radical six-month moratorium on America's entire deepwater drilling industry. The sweeping ban -- inserted into a technical safety document in the middle of the night by nObama's green extremists -- cost an estimated 19,000 jobs and $1.1 billion in lost wages.

The order was supposedly based on recommendations from an expert oil spill panel. But that panel's own members along with the federal judiciary called out nObama's environmental team for misleading the public about the scientific evidence and "contributing to the perception that the government's findings were more exact than they actually were." Salazar and eco czar Carol Browner oversaw the false rewriting of the drilling ban report to completely misrepresent the nObama-appointed panel's own overwhelming scientific objections to the job-killing edict.

Federal judge Martin Feldman in Louisiana blasted the Interior Department for defying his May 2010 order to lift its fraudulent ban on offshore oil and gas drilling in the Gulf. Feldman singled out the Salazar-run agency's culture of contempt and serial "determined disregard" for the law.

"Much to the government's discomfort and this Court's uneasiness," Feldman wrote, Salazar's doctored report was "misleading" and the experts who wrote it called it a "'misrepresentation.' It was factually incorrect." Once again, Salazar evaded accountability despite continued obstruction and repeated refusal to cooperate with nearly 50 public records requests from Congress regarding his post-BP spill decisions.

Ken Salazar hates American consumers and workers. He infamously told the Senate in 2008 that he would refuse emergency drilling requests in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge even if gas prices reached $10 a gallon. He arbitrarily pulled nearly 100 oil leases in Utah -- costing the state thousands of jobs -- based on bogus eco-claims that were refuted by the Interior Department's own inspector general. Offshore and onshore, Salazar waged war relentlessly on the energy sector and the American West.

Ken Salazar is a job-killing, truth-sabotaging, law-skirting, media-bullying corruptocrat who just won't let go of power.

In other words: a perfect headhunter for America's Evita Peron.
