Debt Ceiling Speech for Every Republican in Congress
The revised Obama speech every GOP Senator and Representative should give before voting against raising the debt ceiling: “The problem is, is that the way Obama has done it over the last four years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $10 trillion for the first 43 presidents – #44 added $6 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $16 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $52,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”

Lots on Gun Control Today:
Excerpt: President Obama on Wednesday formally proposed the most expansive gun-control policies in generations and initiated 23 separate executive actions aimed at curbing the nation’s gun violence. Obama signed executive orders and paperwork initiating immediate administrative actions, including steps to strengthen the existing background-check system to keep guns out of the hands of potentially dangerous people as well as to improve mental health and school safety programs. The president also called on Congress to swiftly pass legislation to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines for civilian. (Nothing about asking Hollywood

Why President Obama's gun plan may be doomed
Excerpt: Before President Barack Obama can even launch his campaign-style blitz for new gun control measures, there are strong indications that any comprehensive legislation restricting weapons and ammunition won’t even see a vote on the House floor.
At Least $4.5 Billion in New Spending for Gun Control
Excerpt: President Obama and Vice President Biden revealed their proposed reforms intended to reduce firearms related violence.

A Little NRA Mystery. By Bill Keller
Excerpt: This morning I blogged about a new target-shooting app – NRA: Target Practice – that has gotten a ton of media attention because it is advertised as being for ages 4 and up. I suggested that this was, even by NRA standards, so tasteless that it must be a hoax. … These and other indicators convinced Pierce that NRA: Target Practice is either a hoax aimed at embarrassing the NRA (not that the NRA needs much help) or, more likely, a publicity stunt by the developer of the app (which, to avoid rewarding the company, I will not name here.)
Price Counters President Obama’s Gun Speech
Excerpt: Congressman Tom Price, M.D. (GA-06) offered the following perspective after President Obama’s recommendations for executive action: … “We know that the safe use and responsible ownership of firearms has time and time again safeguarded individual and public safety. In fact, guns are used more often to protect lives, not take lives. Steps to remove firearms from the hands of law-abiding citizens endangers those very citizens.”

Gun control, Chicago
Ya know, 22 dead in the first 11 days in Chi-town, says a lot about gun control, both about the guns, and who’s controlling them. –JW. (Yeah, I live here. Until I retire, then I’m gone. ~Bob.)
Thought for the Day
Your average law abiding American cannot be trusted with a semi automatic weapon with a large capacity magazine. Those weapons may, however, be safely entrusted to members of Mexican drug cartels who may be counted upon to handle them in a safe, responsible and law abiding manner. Having armed the Mexican drug cartels with the latest and greatest in firearms, maybe we should outsource school security to them. After all, they do fiercely defend their territory, and the heads of a couple wannabe mass murderers on spikes in the parking lot would surely be a deterrent. --TH
Freshman lawmaker threatens impeachment over gun rights
Excerpt: Freshman Republican Rep. Steve Stockman (Texas) on Monday said he would "seek to thwart" executive action by President Obama in regard to gun laws by any means necessary, even if it means "filing articles of impeachment." (Like with Bill Clinton, an impeachment effort would only help Obama at this point. ~Bob.)

Disarming Americans, Arming Terrorists. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: Obama is unwilling to trust Americans with an AR-15, but is willing to trust a genocidal terrorist group with Abrams tanks and F-16 jets. The F-16’s M61 Vulcan cannon can fire 6,000 rounds a minute and the 146 lb warhead of its HARM missiles can do a lot more than put a few dents in a brick wall.

(If we only save one life by banning tire irons and baseball bats, it’s worth it. ~Bob)
Gun Control Response
The following is what I sent to my Recon buddies: I don't usually weigh in on matters that we all might have disparate views on, but the sense of what I am getting from all this gun control frenzy and, up to now, subsequent gun laws is that the target and the control is being put on the shoulders of law-abiding gun owning citizens.

A Fast and Furious foreign policy
Excerpt: Let’s get this straight: Guns are too dangerous to be left in the hands of ordinary Americans. But guns in the hands of unknown rebels, who may turn out to be violent extremists, are just fine. …And send them to the most dangerous, unstable places in the world.
Gohmert: Fast and Furious shows gun control should start with administration

Excerpt: Gohmert, in his first extended floor remarks of the 113th Congress, broadly criticized the Obama administration for flouting the rule of law. …He also criticized Obama for saying he would not negotiate with Republicans on ways to reduce the deficit in the context of trying to increase the debt ceiling, and for saying these issues have never been linked before. But Gohmert said spending cuts and the debt ceiling have been linked several times, including in 2010, when Democrats were in charge of Congress.
Obama’s gun-violence executive orders and the Constitution
Excerpt: Of course we should all want our president focused on what works. We have more than enough dysfunctional and counter-productive federal policies in place, thanks to both Congress and the president. But there is one consideration that is even more important than whether an executive action will work to reduce gun-related violence: whether the president has the constitutional authority to implement it.
Obama: Doctors Should Ask About Guns in Homes

Debt Hypocrisy Wins Obama Rare ‘Upside-Down Pinocchio’
Excerpt: Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post’s fact checker, used the occasion of the president’s “major-league flip-flop” to award the coveted “Upside-Down Pinocchio,” a ruling “rarely given” by Kessler. He also annotated the president’s 2006 speech decrying the debt ceiling’s increase.
Obama runs afoul of Dem base
President Obama has angered his base on a wide range of issues over the last month, even as he rides a political high after his victory over congressional Republicans in the fiscal-cliff fight. (And he cares because…? ~Bob.)
Excerpt: The problem with the Arrow critique of health care markets is that it implies that government intervention can make us all better off. But government faces the exact same asymmetry of information that you and I as patients face. And, as it turns out, government attempts to deal with the problem are demonstrably inferior to private sector alternatives.
10 Ways Dodd-Frank Will Hurt the Economy in 2013. By Hester Peirce
Excerpt: As Dodd-Frank comes to life, its harmful effects will come into plain view. Solutions crafted without a clear focus on the problems that need fixing can create new, even more severe consequences.
Most Arctic Species Will Benefit From Global Warming
Excerpt: Global warming will benefit most Arctic species, a team of scientists report in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One. In fact, global warming will allow Arctic species to expand their range rather than be confined, says James Taylor in Forbes. Many global warming alarmists felt that Arctic and subarctic regions would be susceptible to climate change. However, warming will decrease the area of tundra and extend temperate climates further north. Scientists modeled the effect of global warming in European high latitudes and found: Many Arctic and subarctic species (43 of 61) benefited because they were able to expand their range. In fact, climate change up to 2080 will favor most mammals in subarctic Europe . Some species, such as alpine species, which are cold-climate specialists, may not benefit from the warming. However, no species is threatened to go extinct.

Excerpt: French troops pressed northward in Mali
Excerpt: Shabaab, al Qaeda's affiliate in Somalia and East Africa, announced today that it executed a French intelligence operative who was captured in Mogadishu
Welfare Increases Poverty Instead Of Ending It
Excerpt: How did we get here? In Obama-esque fashion, of course. The committee says the unimaginable spending is in part "driven by a series of controversial recruitment methods that include aggressive outreach to those who say they do not need financial assistance." "Recruitment workers are even instructed on how to 'overcome the word "no"' when individuals resist enrollment," says committee research. (The point isn’t to end poverty or help the poor. The point is to make them dependent on government, thus voting Democrat to keep the cash flowing. ~Bob.)
Our last line of defense. By Alfonso Santillan
Excerpt: Our government is cutting our defense budget, reducing the size of our Armed Forces, reducing our long-range nuclear missile capabilities, and I am almost positive that the next step for this administration will be to eliminate as many as our other defense oriented programs as may be necessary to fund the numerous social and entitlement programs that the Obama administration will demand to not only fund, but to ever increase the funding for, through the numerous taxation plans he has put in place, and the other ones that will be coming up shortly.

Worth
Excerpt: As the State expands its share and control of the economy, this political allocation of capital and national income also expands. As the State grabs an ever-larger share of the economy and extends its Central Planning to every layer of the economy, the "best game in town" inevitably becomes lobbying the State for funds and perquisites. (Western and Western-allied nations have huddled together for protection against the consequences of their own reckless actions. Thus the US US , Europe, Japan
Hagel vs. too-big-to-fail Defense Department: Obamacare at home leads inevitably to Obamacuts abroad. By Mark Steyn
Excerpt: "The Pentagon," he said a year ago, "needs to be pared down." Unlike current Secretary Leon Panetta, who's strongly opposed to the mandated "sequestration" cuts to the defense budget, Hagel thinks they're merely a good start. That's why Obama's offered him the gig.

It was a highly decorated career that ended, tragically, with his death while supporting stability operations in Uruzgan Province , Afghanistan Pottstown , also leaves behind his wife, Stephanie, and 9-year-old daughter Jillian.

Zero emission synfuel from seawater
Excerpt: Two papers published last year described a new approach to zero emissions synfuel, looking at direct carbon dioxide extraction from seawater. The new insight in these papers is that CO2 is very soluble in seawater, where the concentration is about 140 times higher than in the atmosphere. This could make seawater extraction a lot cheaper than direct air capture. (The basic research behind this article was done by the US Navy and the Palo Alto Research Center

'They Have Suspicions': Obama demonizes anyone who disagrees with him.
Excerpt: President Obama likes to talk about civility in politics, but then he has a particular personal talent for attributing to his political opponents only base motives and beliefs they don't come close to holding. Consult his Monday press conference for a classic of the genre.

Op-Ed: The 100% Fatwa-Compliant Iranian EMP Nuclear Weapon
Excerpt: Practically, if Iran attacked Saudi and US forces in the Persian Gulf with an EMP nuclear weapon, Iran would have two easy military objectives: 1) occupying the Saudi Easternmost Shiite-majority provinces that hold 99% of all of Saudi Arabia’s oil which are all located within 100 kilometers of the western shore of the Persian Gulf, and 2) capturing 30,000 living US soldiers as POWs that are now defending the Persian Gulf who will have all their modern high-tech weapons and communications equipment electronically burnt to a crisp at H-Hour plus 3 nanoseconds.
Excerpt: This news follows rumors that Qatari Director of Intelligence Ahmed Bin Thani made a secret visit to Egypt last May, allegedly meeting with Muslim Brotherhood leader Muhammad Badie….One benefit that Doha has possibly gained from its aid is that Cairo has agreed to a Qatari demand for a rotation of the job of Arab League secretary-general – which has traditionally been held by Egypt, where the headquarters of the Arab League is located.

Excerpt: Consider the case of Phtirus pubis which has just joined the list of one of the world's most threatened species. Its natural habitat is being destroyed by humans, purely for the sake of fashion. Species populations are declining across the world – all thanks to the pernicious habit, especially prevalent among its young female hosts, of auto deforestation. (I’m sure members of PETA are hard at work encouraging the development of new colonies. ~Bob.)

Kucinich, who was for years a liberal stalwart in the House of Representatives, will provide analysis and commentary across all of FNC and FBN’s programs, beginning with Thursday’s edition of “The O’Reilly Factor.” (Doubtless a diabolical Fox plot to expose the left as feeble minded morons. ~Bob.)
