President Obama moved to solidify his environmental legacy Tuesday by withdrawing hundreds of millions of acres of federally owned land in the Arctic and Atlantic Ocean from future offshore oil and gas drilling. Obama used a little-known law called the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect large portions of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in the Arctic and a string of canyons in the Atlantic stretching from Massachusetts to Virginia from oil exploration and the potential for spills.

I saw the film a long time ago, and there was little in it I didn’t already know. I do admire D’nesh greatly though. The film really started working for me when Shelby Steele came on.And there’s a great deal of stuff about Obama’s lineage that (as I remember) the film doesn’t even mention or speculate on-—like the possibility that Obama’s real father may be the leader of the Subud cult in Indonesia. The man is the spitting image of Obama, in a way you can’t see Barack Sr. and Stanley Ann Dunham being, as a couple. Wish I could remember his name....and the ties to Loretta Fuddy (who was soon to die in a plane crash, the only fatality) and her position as head of the official bureau in Hawaii in charge of the Birth Certificates.
I believe he can get rid of the EPA period!!! Shut the whole department down!!! Turn some sort of clean air and water over to a different department maybe interior!!!
This will survive all of 10 seconds , once the Trump machine begins to roll.
Good God! It’s a good thing Donald Trump is a workaholic. He’s going to have to spend half his time repealing the lunacy Obama’s legacy has left in executive orders alone. He’ll need a second term just to wade through them all.
Ya after they brutally roasted Trump at that WH dinner, that’s when he decided. “Fk these guys, if I can do it, I’m gonna”, I think Trump will produce tons and tons of cringe worthy and traitorous material about Obama dug up from the past.
Think we’ll find out that Obama has never been an American, that his college was paid for by foreign interests, and some other tidbits.
“All civil wars involve two political entities emerging from one.”
Emerging from one what? One religion? One race? One political party? One economic system? One hemisphere?
Withdrawal of some items from the White House menu by the President of the United States may, from time time, withdraw from disposition any brussels sprouts or rutabaga from the WH refrigerator.
POTUS: Chef, no more brussels sprouts.
Chef: Gotcha, Sir, no more brussels sprouts.
2 months later
POTUS: Chef, the Prime Minister of Brussels is visiting. put Brussels sprouts back on the menu.
Chef: Gotch, Sir, those lousy little golf balls are now back in play.
The media was crowing this morning how this was brilliant and ahs never been challenged in court, their favorite place to write law.
Political entity.
The sentence is pretty clear.
Obama thinks that God’s blue oceans belong to him.
If ever proof was needed that he was insane
“The Beaufort and Chukchi seas are habitat for several species listed as endangered and species that are candidates for the endangered species,”
Around 1990 I was office support for a SWEPI (Shell Oil) exploration team in the Chukchi Sea. Every single day the ship(s) had to fax a detailed report on the number of walrus, etc., that were observed that day. Every single critter had to be accounted for. Then I had to fax, via encryption (why encrypted?) the report on to D.C.
The worship and saving of critters and the environment was insane, even in the early ‘90s. That should be enough; banning exploration and drilling is not necessary.
“A similar case can be made for the American Revolution as being a civil war.”
The Revolutionary War was America’s first civil war?
Would that make the War of 1812 America’s second civil war?
The answer to your first question is “yes”.
The Revolutionary War was fought, in the main, between British citizens, who, in 1775-1781—technically had the same king.
The Treaty of Paris in 1783 sorted that out quite nicely.
The War of 1812 was fought between actual nations, thus it was not a civil war. The British invaded America.
But, you knew that.
It might take an act of Congress, but that’s ok. Congress will give him that. Some smooth transition of power. Childish.
I disagree with you.
More importantly, Samuel Huntington, Roger Sherman, William Williams, Oliver Wolcott - all representing Connecticut - they disagree.
As does Thomas McKean, George Read, and Caesar Rodney - all representing Delaware - they disagree.
As does Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, and George Walton - all representing Georgia - they disagree.
And so forth and so on through the roll call.
Here is part of what they said: “When . . . it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which . . .”
Further, they said: “ . . . Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . .”
Further, they said: “ . . . whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government . . .”
In conclusion they declared - “ . . . That these United Colonies are and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States: that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved.”
Sometime before, but certainly no later that July 4, 1776,
the colonialists stopped being British citizens and no longer had a British King.
Of course, the King of England disagreed with all of this. And, apparently, so do you.
Sorry, pal, just because they said it, did not make it official.
There were plenty of Tories in America who did not agree with the men you mentioned, and only 3% of the men in the colonies fought the Crown.
5 years of fighting and sacrifice was necessary to make it stick.
Only until the British surrendered their claim to the colonies, and a treaty was signed, did America become a nation in reality.
Had it gone the other way, it would have been noted in history as a rebellion put down by the king of England.
hauls out his FAKE BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Use this as evidence he wasn’t really president, thus voiding the EOs,
This past year in Michigan, the state govt. approved an increase in gasoline taxes which are "supposed" to be earmarked for the repair of our badly deteriorating road systems. Our county and state roads are in horrible shape!
With that being, if an oil friendly govt. would renew all the leases held by the oil companies, allow them unfettered exploration for new deposits, and last but not least, provide them incentives for the building of new refineries across this country, we could possibly see a drop in gasoline prices back down to $1 per gallon or lower.
With such a drastic drop, it could allow states like mine to increase the gasoline taxes even more without us citizens even noticing it and giving them full attention to actually rebuilding our roads.......
It could also result in substantial increases in oil and gas exports that would compete directly with the Saudi's and potentially put them out of business.......
“Sorry, pal, just because they said it, did not make it official.”
Well, it’s just the Declaration of Independence. It was written by a bunch of old, dead, white guys. Pay it no mind.
Sadly, your reaction is a reminder that many - maybe most - people today would not endorse the principles of the D of I. Or the U.S. Constitution for that matter.
In the view of many the Second Amendment is bad. Ninth amendment is bad. Tenth amendment is bad. Fifth amendment is bad. Electoral college is bad. Just because the founders wrote it, doesn’t make it official, “they say.”
