Ever hear the line, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you”?
If you have, you know it’s a lie. The government never helps anyone.
But under the man who is president now, the words are more ominous because they mean the government is out to get you.
Under Obama, if you don’t toe the line and do what he wants, his government will go after you, using every means – legal or not – to destroy you.
While the country and the media are obsessed with the GOP presidential candidates, there’s virtually nothing in mainstream media coverage of what our government is doing to a legitimately elected sheriff in the state of Arizona.
The Obama administration is out to destroy the man, using every accusation it can devise – all because he has the audacity to try to enforce immigration laws that are on the books to protect the people in his jurisdiction.
That man is Sheriff Joe Arpaio, elected to that post by the people in Arizona’s Maricopa County six times, after a long and successful career as a police officer and with the DEA.
The people like him. The Obama administration doesn’t. As varied cases involving Arpaio move through the courts, it appears that ultimately, the controversy will end up before the Supreme Court.
The final blow came last Friday when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, upheld a finding that Arpaio does not have grounds to sue the Obama administration for its executive actions on immigration, claiming they were unconstitutional.
The specific rulings by Obama would give temporary legal status and work permits to certain immigrants. This stems from 2014, when Obama ordered that some 4.7 million illegal aliens would not be deported.

Obama started after Arpaio in January 2009, and never let up.
I wonder how long it will be for deliverance from this curse on America?
Too date, it seems he has had none, at least from the folks that take our money with the promise they would do so.
Sheriff Arpaio is 83.
Arpaio served in the U.S. Army from 1950 to 1954 in the Medical Detachment Division and was stationed in France for part of the time as a military policeman.
Following his discharge in 1954, Arpaio moved to Washington, D.C. and became a police officer, moving in 1957 to Las Vegas, Nevada. He served as a police officer in Las Vegas for six months before being appointed as a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, which later became part of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). During his 25-year tenure with the DEA, he was stationed in Argentina, Turkey and Mexico, and advanced through the ranks to the position of head of the DEA’s Arizona branch.
In 1992, Arpaio successfully campaigned for the office of Maricopa County Sheriff. The voters of Maricopa County re-elected him in 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012.
Obama/Holder used the vile Thomas Perez (Head of Holder’s “civil rights division) as the hands-on tool to attack Arpaio.
Just as Eric Holder was used by Clinton/Reno as the hands-on tool for their dirtiest work.
Obama thinks Arpaio is the great Satan.
Correct.
Obama and his thugs have had a difficult time with Joe....
He knows the law.
He is fearless.
Trump and Sheriff Joe have had several meetings over the years....with Trump’s money and Sheriff Joe being the man he is, which is great, I would imagine bath house barry has alot to worry about...
Problem is—the “law” doesn’t matter today.
I know it doesn’t
The primary judge currently doing the Obama administration’s bidding is Arizona Federal District Court Judge G. Murray Snow (a George W. Bush appointee) who is holding Contempt of Court hearings against Sheriff Arpaio.
The Arizona federal district court has 2 Clinton judges, 4 Bush judges including Snow, and 9 Obama judges.
Sheriff Arpaio asked Judge Snow to recuse himself but Snow denied the request.
At one point, Judge Snow also asked Arpaio about an alleged “investigation” of Snow's wife, which was a mischaracterization of a probe launched by one of Arpaio’s attorneys of a report from a citizen of prejudicial statements made by Cheri Snow about Arpaio in a restaurant attributed to her husband about Arpaio’s upcoming election.
Neither Snow nor his wife has denied that the comments were made.
Sheriff Jor ping
He shouldn’t have to work so hard fighting the Federal government to protect the people of Arizona. He is an American super hero.
