Breitbart TV had this report on Mars, makers of candy bars such as 3 Musketeers and M&M’s. Their changing of candy bar sizes to not sell single package candy bars with more than 250 calories is a result of their agreement with Michelle Obama’s partnership for a Healthier America.
One post from the Breitbart TV website DarthShatner summed it up when he said “Whats to stop someone from eating as many chocolate bars as they want. calories per package is irrelevent when it comes to consumption. The stupidity from the white house continues.”
Amicus Brief highlights Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment as evidence of mandate’s unconstitutionality
Columbus, OH – The 1851 Center for Constitutional Law today submitted to the United States Supreme Court a “friend of the court” brief asserting that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate is unconstitutional. The brief highlights for the High Court Ohioans’ placement of the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment (“Issue 3″) in Ohio’s Bill of Rights, and its role in the Court’s analysis of whether the mandate withstands constitutional scrutiny.
The individual health insurance mandate, described as a “minimum essential coverage requirement” in the PPACA, attempts to require each citizen of the United States to purchase a qualifying heath insurance policy that, thus far, must cover items ranging from substance abuse and mental health coverage to maternity care. Through requiring these coverages and others, the mandate is expected to drive up costs of health insurance premiums nationwide.
A mother in Hoke County complains her daughter was forced to eat a school lunch because a government inspector determined her home-made lunch did not meet nutrition requirements. In fact, all of the students in the NC Pre-K program classroom at West Hoke Elementary School in Raeford had to accept a school lunch in addition to their lunches brought from home.
NC Pre-K (before this year known as More at Four) is a state-funded education program designed to “enhance school readiness” for four year-olds.
A memo sent Friday morning from the Obama campaign targeted Mitt Romney’s record on business and time as Massachusetts’ governor. Now, it is clear the the Obama administration is assuming that Romney will be the Republican nominee even though he needs 1144 delegates to win the nomination. Currently Romney has 20 delegates to Santorum’s 12 and Gingrich’s 0 (but this is another whole story on the media declared “front runner” and “obvious” future nominee).
So, I offer this rebuttal to a rebuttal. Not to defend Romney or endorse Romney, but to show that the current administration, who is pointing out defects in the media declared front runner Romney, reflects right back on them, but in a worse way. The words they use to sting Romney ring so true to home in the White House that I don’t think they can see the forest for the trees. My comments are in red, below.

In a scathing letter from Senator Marco Rubio to president Obama today, it has been let known where he and many other Americans feel our government, and the President have failed the United States.
Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation “Fast and Furious” to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.
In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the “big fish.” But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called “gunwalking,” and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
ATF officials didn’t intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun regulation called “Demand Letter 3″. That would require some U.S. gun shops to report the sale of multiple rifles or “long guns.” Demand Letter 3 was so named because it would be the third ATF program demanding gun dealers report tracing information.
It has been reported that Senator Portman has concerns with the lack of accountability with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). He joined 43 other Senators in sending a letter outlining those concerns to President Obama back on May 2nd, 2011. Shockingly, the White House has yet to even respond to Portman’s concerns or propose reforms to address the lack of accountability.
It looks like, despite what seems to be some errant and bad reporting, there is no movement on this, no deal, and no support from Portman for the Cordray nomination, or any nominee for that matter, for the board until the Obama Administration drops their push for a structure that, as Portman said in his letter below, “violates basic principles of accountability and our democratic values.” Continue reading Senator Rob Portman to NOT endorse any CFPB Nominee Director
** Update 1047am Friday December 2nd 2011. Apparently the web traffic USAammo.com’s website from the news coverage has increased to a point and crashed their server at one point after it went viral. You can view a cached copy as seen below at the end of this article.**
Friday December 2nd, 2011 USAammo.com, a gun supply, ammunition, and supplies store who mainly targets sales online has created quite a stir with a controversial ad campaign. The campaign compares president Obama in the same context as Hitler, Stalin, Chairman Mao, and others who implemented gun control and killed millions through the government repression that allowed for mass genocide and tyrannical government controls.
The ad states that governments render their citizens defenseless through gun control. “Liberty is perpetuated by armed citizens. An armed citizen can defend himself against threat and foe.” the video explains. “The defenseless are subject to enslavement, imprisonment, and annihilation. ”
Apparently, the idea was conceived and emailed out early this week to coincide with Cyber Black Monday. And it has created a stir nationally in the political field.
By 18th Ohio Congressional District Rep. Bob Gibbs – December 1st, 2011
The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, better known as the Super Committee, to reach agreement on $1.2 trillion in spending cuts is a serious disappointment. An opportunity to eliminate some of our huge debt was wasted – and with it, the chance to spur economic growth and create much-needed jobs.
As an outsider sent to Washington to bring a new perspective, I am frustrated that politics as usual has gotten in the way again. While the Republican-led House secured the largest reduction in discretionary spending in history, the inability of the ‘Super Committee’ to come to an agreement to further reduce the deficit illustrates once again that Washington is broken and lacks the internal discipline to make the necessary but difficult choices to pay down our $15 Trillion national debt.
