When republicans do this with a Democrat in the White House it's "treason", But when Democrats do it when a Republican is in the White House it's "checks and balances" and good statesmanship.  God! I hate double standards!!

< The IRS Is Giving Away $13 Billion A Year In Wind Energy Subsidies, Without Congressional Authorization >

The main federal handout for the wind energy industry has grown considerably despite the fact that it expired at the end of 2013. Over the past two years, IRS administrators have relaxed the eligibility requirements to make it easier for in-progress wind farm projects to qualify for government subsidies (known in Washington as the ‘production tax credit’ or  “PTC ”).  The IRS has done so repeatedly and quietly, often without action from Congress.

QUOTE

< What do we have to show for government subsidies of wind power? >

For the past 23 years, the federal government has subsidized wind power with tens of billions of taxpayer dollars through the Production Tax Credit (PTC). What do we have to show for it? Wind energy only supplied 1.6 percent of total U.S. energy in 2014. Now the Department of Energy wants to reach a ridiculous goal of 20 percent wind energy by 2030. The fledgling wind industry has no hope of reaching that goal on its own, and the government wants to stick the American taxpayer with the bill to sustain an industry that can't sustain itself.

It is now clear that any deal with Iran will by its terms be a non-binding agreement.  That means the United States will have no international law obligation to comply with the agreement, considered in isolation, and that only diplomatic and political considerations – which might not be trivial – will stand in the way of the next President backing out of the deal and reimposing U.S. sanctions.  This is why I concluded yesterday that “in comparison with a binding executive agreement under international law, a non-binding agreement with Iran is easier to make (because the President can clearly do it on his own) and easier to break (because there is no domestic or international legal obstacle to breaking it).”

QUOTE

The letter to Iranian leaders warned that unless Congress approved it, any nuclear deal they cut with President Barack Obama could expire once he leaves office. The letter could serve as a source of division in the upcoming presidential campaign: Democrats have assailed it as an attempt to undercut Obama at the negotiating table while Republicans have warned that a deal could lead to a nuclear-armed Iran.

< Obama Funding the Anti-Bibi Campaign >

January 29, 2015

The Obama administration is using taxpayer dollars to fund a radical anti-Israel group that aims to drive Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office in March parliamentary elections.


< View on YouTube >

And the U.S.-based group receiving the U.S. government money, OneVoice International, in turn is working with V15, an “independent grassroots movement” in Israel, according to Ha’aretz. V15’s unofficial motto is said to be “anyone but Bibi,” a reference that includes the prime minister’s nickname.

OneVoice has reportedly hired Obama campaign aides such as Jeremy Bird of political consulting powerhouse 270 Strategies to take on Netanyahu’s Likud Party. Bird was national field director for Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, but now he is apoplectic, frothing at the mouth as he spouts conspiracy theories over House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) invitation to Netanyahu to address the U.S. Congress in coming weeks.

Expat and alci get their panties in bunch throwing terms like traitor and sabotage around when a few Senators explain to the Iranians how treaties are voted on and passed in our country.  

Meanwhile we have the Obama Administration along with other liberal hacks wanting to disarm it's own citizens by attacking the 2nd ammendment all the while selling military arms to crazy nut jobs in the Middle East. i.e., Egypt.  Not to mention this administrations use of other various government agencies to harass it's own citizens like the IRS, EPA, NSA.

You tell me tweedle dee and tweedle dumb.  Just who are the real traitors to our country and its' citizens?  You for supporting a party that continuously undermined our servicemen and women while they were on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq?  You for supporting an administration that has Vietnamized the war in the Middle East, Detroit'd our businesses, Chicago'd our schools, Californized our families?  

At some point you need to clean the sh!+ out of your own pig pen.  Nuff  said.

< Iran's Quds Day: Death to America, Death to Israel >

Tehran staged its traditional Quds Day[1] rallies on July 10 in 770 cities across Iran. Quds Day was established by the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the late Imam Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini, ostensibly to unify the Muslim world to "liberate" the Palestinian people from the "Zionist Entity's" disputed "occupation."

However, in reality, Quds Day has become a day in which Iran and protestors in other societies attack the legitimacy of the state of Israel ("The Little Satan") and threaten the United States ("The Big Satan").

In the lead-up to Quds Day, the former President of Iran, Al Akbar Rafsanjani, mused in an interview about the eventual disappearance of Israel from history. [2]

The chants at this year's rallies were familiar: "Death to America" and "Death to Israel."

Reportedly, President Hassan Rouhani attended a rally in Tehran and was treated to posters of Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Obama, and King Salman of Saudi Arabia being burned. He did not protest.

If two forces are in opposite directions, then the net force is the difference between the two forces, and it is in the direction of the larger force. Consider two dogs playing tug of war with a short piece of rope. Each is exerting a force, but in opposite directions.

Notice that the dog on the left is pulling with a force of 10 N, and the dog on the right is pulling with a force of 12 N. Which dog do you think will win the tug of war? Because the forces are in opposite directions, the net force is determined by subtracting the smaller force from the larger one. In this case, the net force is 2 N in the direction of the dog on the right.

It’s time to amend the Constitution, all acts of war (with the exception of if we’re attacked first) should be put to a national vote. Anyone voting yes would automatically be conscripted as a volunteer for service in the United States Army. NO deferments no age restriction. NO war profiteering, all corporations would be nationalized, profit going to the war effort, corporate salaries reduced to that of an enlisted man in the service.

“If Congress rejects this, Iran goes back to its enrichment. The Ayatollah will not come back to the table ... the sanctions regime completely falls apart,” he said.


“We will have set ourselves back. I don’t know how I go out to another country if that happens and say: ‘Hey, you ought to negotiate with us,’ because they will say: ‘Well, you have 535 secretaries of state in the United States. We don’t know who we are negotiating with. Whatever deal we make always risks being overturned.’”

Asked why the White House did not seek to ratify the deal as a treaty through the Senate alone, Kerry was scathing about its oversight function.

“I spent quite a few years trying to get treaties through the US Senate, and frankly, it’s become physically impossible,” he said. “You can’t pass a treaty anymore.”
