Trump Vs. Our National Parks

photo national park service.jpg

The Trumpies are wasting no time in trying to sell-off our National Park System to the highest bidder. It seems very similar to the "Sovereign Citizen" movement that led to the Oregon Standoff at Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Trump and several yokels in Congress who are like kissing cousins to the Bundy clan think they get to decide what happens to protected land that belongs to the American taxpayers.

John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt are turning over in their graves.











Last week, Trump showed his dictatorial attitude when he made a priority of shutting down discussions of climate change within various government agencies.

From Fortune
Employees at several federal agencies including the Department of Agriculture have been barred by the Trump administration from making any statements, or providing any documents to the public or journalists, according to published reports.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services are also impacted by the orders, which were reportedly handed down this week, and include a prohibition against some of the agencies posting on social media.
...A memo sent to EPA staff said that there should be no press releases sent to "external audiences" and that "no social media will be going out," according to a report by The Hill. The memo also says that a digital strategist will be coming in to oversee the agency's social-media policies, and that "existing, individually controlled social-media accounts may become more centrally controlled."

Trump particularly targeted the National Park System Twitter accounts. Why? Because Trump was furious that the Park Service retweeted an article in the New York Times about his small inaugural crowd compared with Obama's in 2009.

From CNN
After the retweet began to get attention, a career staffer at the Interior Department instructed employees that the "new administration has said that the department and all bureau are not supposed to tweet this weekend and wait for guidance until Monday."
The message continued, "Please make sure that any scheduled tweets are no longer scheduled," and referred all questions to another career staffer at the department.
On Saturday, the National Park Service called Friday's retweets "mistaken."



But the folks at Badlands National Monument went rogue and caused a stir:

From Vanity Fair
On Tuesday, the Twitter account for South Dakota’s Badlands National Park—a subsidiary of the National Park Service—began tweeting out climate change facts, in apparent defiance of the gag order. Someone working for the national park’s social media team went rogue and started posting climate change facts from the National Wildlife Federation’s Web site in 140-character bursts. (Trump, who can generously be described as a climate change skeptic, has previously called called climate change a “hoax” engineered by the Chinese.)
The National Park’s tweets were retweeted thousands of times before they were suddenly deleted later Tuesday afternoon.

Glenn Beck has Epic Capslock Rage about Obama the "Military Dictator"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glenn Beck is projecting his delusions onto President Obama again as he freaks out over the success of Obamacare. Read and listen to how many times Beck uses the words "bogus" and "made up." Um, yeah - Beck has a vivid imagination and whatever you hear emanating from him is usually bogus and made up - a "fairy tale" as he says. He sort of creates his own mythology as he goes along - putting Obama in a dictator's "self-designed uniform" that exists only in his mind. I particularly like his orange-faced capslock-rage as he screams that he's had enough. Yessir, so have we, thanks.

My transcript:

This guy, you put him in a military uniform, I’m not kidding you, you put him on a balcony in a military uniform, this guy is a full-fledged dictator. There has never been any President who has ever done anything like this.
The guy goes out and everybody knows they are paid to clap. Everybody knew in the Soviet Union. Everyone knew that that was a game. That was a circus.
What are we doing? What are we doing? We're watching a circus happening in our own country and we all know it. And right now we're still allowed to say ...
This is complete(ly) Bogus. This is a complete bogus fairy-tale. This is completely made up. Nonsensical. The Emperor has no clothes. 
And everyone in the press - you rat bastards. Every single one of you know what he's saying isn't true. 
You know it! You know it!
. . . He’s a sociopath! He’s sociopathic! He doesn't care! Yes, he doesn't care anymore!
And what the media is doing - I'm telling you, put this guy in a uniform that he himself designed, because he'll be the greatest uniform designer EVER, because nobody else could ever design a uniform like he could. You put this guy in a self-designed uniform and this guy just goes on for four hours talking.
I'm not going to pay attention to these people anymore. I'm not going to waste my life! I'm going to do what I was born to do.
All men were created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!!! I have a right to pursue my happiness. I have a right to do what I was born to do, not what they tell me to do. Have you HAD ENOUGH? My state of mind is great because I've had enough.

Tea Party Tantrum as Obama Shakes Hands with Cuba's Castro

photo obama20y20raul.jpg

Yes, it's true. Our President, like most Presidents, sometimes shakes hands with dictators or despots, and at Mandela's funeral he shook the hand of Raul Castro of Cuba, brother to Communist dictator Fidel Castro. Immediately Republicans began to howl - here was Obama acting all Communisty and "Palling around with Terroristy." Apparently the GOP Tea Party thinks the President should throw down the gauntlet (like Rand Paul) or pitch a tantrum in public or something. But Obama was at a state funeral it's called "diplomacy" people! It's called being a gentleman! It's called being a President. You have to act like a grown-up when dealing with other world leaders!

So shame on John McCain, of all people. I'd love to have a list of people he's shaken hands with over the years. Having Sarah Palin on his ticket is bad enough!

From Huffington Post:
As he rose to the podium to deliver his speech at the funeral of South African leader Nelson Mandela, President Barack Obama took about 20 seconds to shake hands and greet his Cuban colleague (Raoul Castro). The fleeting contact of the leaders’ skin prompted wild speculation about what it all might mean. Does this image of the two leaders symbolize the beginning of a new era?
Given the course of U.S.-Cuba relations over the last five decades, it's safe to say the Obama-Castro handshake probably doesn’t mean a whole lot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the president was going to shake his hand, he should have asked him about those basic freedoms Mandela was associated with that are denied in Cuba.
~ Senator Marco Rubio, R-Florida, via The Hill

Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) walked out of the memorial service for Nelson Mandela when Cuban “president” Raúl Castro began speaking.
“Senator Cruz very much hopes that Castro learns the lessons of Nelson Mandela,” said Sean Rushton, Cruz’s communications director. “For decades, Castro has wrongly imprisoned and tortured countless innocents. Just as Mandela was released after 27 years in prison, Castro should finally release his political prisoners; he should hold free elections, and once and for all set the Cuban people free.”
~ National Review

It gives Raul some propaganda to continue to prop up dictatorial, brutal regime, that’s all it is to prop up his dictatorial voodoo regime. Why should you shake hands with somebody who’s keeping Americans in prison? I mean, what’s the point? Neville Chamberlain shook hands with Hitler.
~ Senator John McCain via FreakoutNation

Ladies and gentlemen, today is about honoring Nelson Mandela. The president was at an international funeral with leaders from all over the world. He didn't choose who's there. They're there to honor Mandela.
~ Secretary of State John Kerry defending the President

Sometimes a handshake is just a handshake, but when the leader of the free world shakes the bloody hand of a ruthless dictator like Raul Castro, it becomes a propaganda coup for the tyrant.
(Showing Kerry photos of the handshake.)
Raul Castro uses that hand to sign the orders to repress and jail democracy advocates. (Activists) will feel disheartened when they see these photos.
~ Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen R-Florida in confrontation with John Kerry

Right Wing Goes Godwin on Guns When Biden Says Executive Orders Possible

Photobucket

I want to make it clear that we are not going to get caught up in the notion (that) unless we can do everything we're going to do nothing. It's critically important (that) we act.
. . . The President is going to act, there are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the Attorney General and all the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action, we believe is required.
~ Vice President Joe Biden via Reuters

source: Atlantic



The Drudge Report seemed to reach a new level of gun-confiscation hysteria Tuesday afternoon when it used photos of Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin to illustrate the headline, "WHITE HOUSE THREATENS 'EXECUTIVE ORDERS' ON GUNS," linking to a story about Joe Biden's brief statement about his gun-proposal committee.
. . . Of course, this is all an illustration of Godwin's Law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." ("Hitler ate sugar," a Daria character said.) But if Drudge's image choice was shocking, it's another example of the phenomenon of the very right wing talking to itself and no one else.
~ The Atlantic

What Drudge is correctly evoking is that both Stalin and Hitler first disarmed their populations before beginning the worst excesses of their reigns. By executive order.
~ comment by Big Boy on Michelle Malkin's Blog





Biden can BITE ME. Much like Mahatma Ghandi when asked by his British Overlords how he was going to kick them out of India, "If 70 million Indians refused to do what you say, what can you do?"
THE ANSWER is the same here.
There are 100,000,000 American GUN owners. IF they say 'register' or 'turn em in', if only 10,000,000 say "NO", what are they going to do?
IF 1,000,000 decide to hold a revolution, what will they do?
Obama is overconfident in his abilities. He is drunk with power. He is stupid in the fact that he THINKS, everyone will just DO what he says.
AND it will only take a few GENERALS, and a few thousand troops to say "F*** NO." For him to have a revolution on his hands.
. . . AND when the criminals and terrorists come to America and start killing your family and friends, then give us a call. AND the AMERICAN GUN OWNER will be the reason you will be free again.
THE REASON the JAPANESE never invaded the USA in WW2 was because ADMIRAL ISOKORU YAMAMOTO said: "there would be a sniper behind each blade of grass." KNOWING Americans owned guns and would defend their land. UNLIKE IN JAPAN and GERMANY at the time, their populations were REQUIRED to turn in guns and weapons. WE all know what happened after that. THEY became dictatorships and fought wars of conquest.
~ comment by Jim on Washington Times





Obama to follow in footsteps of Hitler, Stalin with 'executive order' disarmament of the American people
It's official. President Obama is going to march America down the dark halls of history by following in the footsteps of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and all the other gun-grabbing madmen who have exploited fear to achieve the total concentration of power in the hands of dictatorial government.America is headed into civil war.
. . . This is the moment when America either falls to tyrants or rises to resist it.
Gun grabbers actually want your guns so they can murder you with them
The real agenda of gun grabbers has now become crystal clear: They want to kill gun owners and anyone who doesn't bow down to the Hitlerian madness of the Obama administration.
Last night on the Piers Morgan show on CNN, guests openly threatened Alex Jones' children with being killed, and then one guest openly suggested that Piers Morgan shoot Alex Jones with an AR-15 -- followed by laughter from the other guests on the show. It is a felony crime to threaten to murder a person, yet none of these guests who appeared on Piers Morgan have been arrested.
. . . It's all coming out. This is their true agenda: mass murder and / or genocide. Those who support gun disarmament of the American people are supporting mass murder: Michael Moore, Piers Morgan, Biden, Obama, Cuomo... they are all proponents of mass murder. They are the very same kind of people who once supported Hitler and Stalin, and now they're creating a new Hitler in Barack Obama, the would-be dictator who is thrusting America straight into a new civil war.
Read history: Gun confiscation leads to mass murder by government ("democide")

Obama May Use Executive Order to Grab Guns, Warns Biden
~ NewsMax

Obama to America: Screw the Second Amendment, I’ll take your guns by executive order.

OBAMA GUN GRAB THROUGH 'EXECUTIVE ACTION'
~ Headline on Fox Nation

Biden: Obama Will Bypass Congress for Gun Control
~ Breitbart

The very moment executive order is used to infringe upon the 2nd amendment he becomes WORSE than George III.
~ comment by cds8745 on Breitbart

The Founding Fathers never envisioned Executive Orders being used to restrict our Constitutional rights. We live in a republic, not a dictatorship.
I will use every means at my disposal to combat the agenda of the Executive branch to undermine our Second Amendment rights. I will also fight any legislative action that is taken to implement more gun control. Americans don’t want their Second Amendment freedoms restricted in any way and I will continue to fully support the right to bear arms for all law abiding citizens.
~ Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC)
