Obama Administration's Top 5 Secrets

Tom Fitton's new book, "The Corruption Chronicles" outlines the top 5 secrets the Obama administration would like to keep from you. However, liberals should not dismiss this book; they just may find some interesting reading because it also takes a look at corruption in the Clinton and Bush administration as well. Although, the book covers Washington corruption through three administrations, the author admitted that the amount of material on corruption for President Obama alone was more than enough to write more than one book. Tom Fitton believes this is a book that everyone should read because it takes a look at Washington corruption on both sides of the political spectrum, Republican and Democrat.

Following are the five most pervasive secrets the Obama administration would like to conceal:

1. Fast and Furious — This is the well known government program that supplied thousands of firearms to murderous criminals in Mexico and just in case you have not heard, Attorney General, Eric Holder, has been found guilty of contempt of Congress and faces possible disbarment.

The most recent story in this case details a cover-up and the possible link between a Mexican drug cartel operative that may have been working undercover for the DEA and a scandal that may prove that the operation was politically motivated. There is already plenty of proof that the Obama administration, especially Eric Holder has gone through great lengths to ensure that documentation of this operation remains out of reach for the American public.

2. White House Czars — This subject is something that came under fire during the first of Obama's administration, but has received little to no attention recently. Did you know that Obama has a current count of 45 czars, more than any other president! What is scary about these czars is that unlike most presidential appointments, these individual have no congressional oversight like traditional presidential appointments. They do not have to go Senate confirmation and have unprecedented authority over major aspects of government policy. Their roles in government are secretive in nature and we may never know what impact they have had on our government's policy.

3. Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac — These government-sponsored mortgage companies are described in Fitton's book as "never before has so much money been spent with so little oversight." One of the most controversial stories is how these companies have spent millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to defend three executives associated with the company. However the Obama administration has claimed that there is no need for either Freddie or Fannie to release any documents related to the money spent protecting these individuals.

4. Bin Laden Raid Details — Fitton says that President Barack Obama "is playing politics wit Bin Laden's death and ignoring the rule of law — especially the transparency laws that his appointees violates with impunity .. I suspect the Obama administration is embarrassed by the burial ceremony, which explains our having to go to court to get basic information about this important piece of history."


5. Justice Elena Kagan helped craft Obama Care — It is believe that Justice Kagan agreed to "bless-off" on ObamaCare and was one of the primary reasons why she was hand-picked by President Obama for selection to the U.S. Supreme Court.

As always, you decide.

Illness that Grows Human Nails Instead of Hair




Shanyna wears a wig because all of hair is replaced by nails.

Strange but True!

Illness that Grows Human Nails Instead of Hair

In 2009, Shanyna Isom, had an allergic reaction to an asthma medication which lead to an uncontrollable itch and quickly developed into hard bumps all over her body.

It took doctors over two years to figure out that she had a never before diagnosed disease that causes her hair follicles to grow the same type of dead skin as finger or toe nails instead of hair.




It has been more than a year now since all of her hair has been replaced with the nails and she is believed to be the only person in the world with this condition.

Doctors have gotten her symptoms under control through the use of 17 medications, but it still takes help from friends or family for her to get up in the morning and start her day. Due to many of the medication not being covered by state-issued insurance, she has accumulated over $250,000 in medical costs.

If you want to help, the S.A.I. foundation set up a fund to help her with the medical costs.

How Low Can the Liberals Go? Check Out Their Strategy Against Rep. Allen West!

How low can the Liberals go?

Representative Allen West (R) is more than just a Conservative (Tea) Party Conservative; he is also a decorated American War Veteran.

His Democratic challenger's father launched an attack ad against him depicted him repeatedly punching an elderly woman in the face.  Then the ad shows him hitting another lady and stealing from a family.

In Response, Rep. Allen West said this to Breitbart News,

"I spent my life in uniform fighting for our great nation and protecting all Americans. The ad being run against me by my opponent's family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible ... It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors ... The American people are suffering from crushing debt, horrific tax and regulatory policies, and epic unemployment. This classless ad shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation."

Good for you Rep. West! This is one of the things that I like about Allen West, he is not afraid to "Stand up" for himself and his beliefs. This is also one of the reasons why the Liberal hate him so much and the Tea Party loves him so. I would vote for this man in a heartbeat on his principles and values alone. He truly is one of my top role models! I sure do wish Romney would learn a "thing-or-two" from him.

I hope these trashy, "below-the-belt", ads backfire in the two-faced liberals faces!

"Fast and Furious" May be Much Worse Than What You Thought it Was!

Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla

A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel member named Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla which is known as Sinaloa Cartel's "logistics coordinator" claims that "Fast and Furious" had nothing to do with "tracking guns" and get this, he was extradited to Chicago last year to face federal drug charges. Nothing like the sending criminals to a place that elects them to govern. He must feel like he is at home. Anyway, he claims that "Fast and Furious" was part of an elaborate scheme between the U.S. government and Mexico's powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels. He claims it was a "divide and conquer" strategy where the U.S. helps arm  the Sinaloa Cartel in exchange for information that would help the DEA , U.S. Immigration and  Custom Enforcement (ICE) to take down rival drug cartels.

On top of that, he says that his cartel was allowed a pass to traffic massive amounts of drugs across the border from 2004 to 2009. The agreement was to allow the cartel free-access across our borders with drugs as long as the intelligence kept coming.

As expected, many high-ranking government officials are keeping a close eye on this case, because if any of these claims are true, many high-ranking government officials will have some serious questions to answer to include the Attorney General and possibly the President.

A source within Congress said this,

“Congress won’t get involved in any criminal case until the trial is over and the smoke has cleared … if the allegations prove to hold any truth, there will be some serious legal ramifications.”

Here is an excerpt taken directly from the motion filed in federal court,

“This strategy, which he calls ‘Divide & Conquer,’ using one drug organization to help against others, is exactly what the Justice Department and its various agencies have implemented in Mexico. In this case, they entered into an agreement with the leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel through, among others, Humberto Loya-Castro, to receive their help in the United States government’s efforts to destroy other cartels.”

“Indeed, United States government agents aided the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel.”

To make matters even worse, Zambada-Niebla claims that he is an undercover DEA informant that was offered immunity for his cooperation. Another excerpt,

“It is estimated that approximately 3,000 people were killed in Mexico as a result of ‘Operation Fast and Furious,’ including law enforcement officers in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, the headquarters of the Sinaloa cartel. The Department of Justice’s leadership apparently saw this as an ingenious way of combating drug cartel activities.”

“It has recently been disclosed that in addition to the above-referenced problems with ‘Operation Fast & Furious,’ the DOJ, DEA, and the FBI knew that some of the people who were receiving the weapons that were being allowed to be transported to Mexico, were in fact informants working for those organizations and included some of the leaders of the cartels.”

Even though courts admit that Zambada-Niebla has knowledge of “classified materials”, they say that he has not given sufficient evidence to prove that he was a DEA informant. In April, 2012, a federal judge refused to dismiss charges against him. The judge wrote this,

“According to the government, [Zambada-Niebla] conveyed his interest and willingness to cooperate with the U.S. government, but the DEA agents told him they ‘were not authorized to meet with him, much less have substantive discussions with him.’”

One may wonder why! Smells like a scandal to me. It is my prediction that “heads will roll” over this one!

Three Special Forces Soldiers Murdered by Afghans!

An Afghan police commander along with several of his men intentionally lured three U.S. Special Forces Soldiers into a fake dinner and meeting, then ambushed and murdered them. 

A senior Afghan official told Reuters this, "During dinner, the police commander and his colleagues shot them and then fled. The commander was Afghan National Police in charge of local police in Sangin … It looks like he had drawn up a plan to kill them previously."

According to NATO, there have been 24 attacks like this since January and 31 people have been killed. Last year, there were 21 attacks and 35 people were killed.

I have served three tours in the Middle East and can personally attest. These people cannot be trusted. The only thing these people understand and respect is violence. We are wasting our time playing the negotiation game with a society that has no concept of what this means. The facts are there and prove that this is so; it is time to do one of two things. Either pack-up, leave and let these people destroy themselves from within or let our Soldiers do what they do best. Take off the chains and allow them to beat these animals into submission.

Chick-fil-A is not the only Company with Christian Beliefs

Chick-fil-A is not the only company that shares Christian beliefs. There are other companies that have very similar beliefs and intentionally include these beliefs into their packaging and messages. Some of the most recognizable company brands are Tyson Foods, Forever 21, Interstate Battery, In-N-Out Burger, and Hobby Lobby.

Tyson Foods does not hide its faith either. The company offers chaplain services for all of their employees across America. Employees regularly use these chaplains to pray with them when they saddened by the loss of a loved one or when coping with a family emergency. Tyson's current chairman, John H. Tyson, is a born again Christian that has many of the same beliefs as Chick-fil-A's Dan Cathy and believes that values should not be pushed aside when he enters Tyson's doors. Tyson said this in 2010;

"My faith is just an ongoing evolution, trying to understand what faith in the marketplace looks like, giving people permission to live their faith  seven days a week, ... If people can talk about the football game on Monday, why can't they talk about their faith?"

Tyson is also know for donating very large amounts of food to America's poor and hungry.

Forever 21 was founded by devout Christians, Don and Jin Chang, whom migrated to America in 1981. Their company was originally started in Los Angeles and now have hundreds of locations all over the world. At the bottom of each bag, shoppers will find the popular John 3:16 verse that reads,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The chairman if Interstate Battery, Norm Miller, is another company leader that publicly discusses his faith in Jesus Christ. He goes to the extent to ask customers to give him prayer advice. His personal testimony on his web site says this,

"Norm Miller is also a believer in God's power to change lives, because it was that power that turned his own life around after years of drinking as hard as he worked,"

Miller actively encourages everyone to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior by repeating this prayer and accepting Jesus into your heart,

"Dear God, I want freedom from the slavery of my sin. I believe Jesus is the Truth, and I accept him now as my Lord and Savior. I ask you for forgiveness of my sins, because he paid for him for me. Please give me the power to live a life pleasing to You. Thank you for this gift of new and eternal life in Christ! In Jesus' name, Amen!"

Just like Forever 21, In-N-Out Burger, is a fast-food chain that is based in California and uses John 3:16 as a way to advertise its faith. The food chain places the verse on the bottom of its drinking cups.

Hobby Lobby is an Oklahoma City-based chain that has something very much in common with Chick-fil-A. It closes its more than 500 stores on Sundays and proudly mentions God on its website. Here are a few of the statements
listed in the company's state of purpose:

"Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with 
Biblical Principles.
Providing a return on the owners' investment, sharing the Lord's blessing with our 
employees, and investing in our community.
We believe that is by God's grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured. He 
has been faithful in the past, we trust Him for our future.

It is reported the Hobby Lobby is preparing the build a Bible museum in Washington, D.C.,
just blocks away from the National Mall. It will contain thousands of Biblical artifacts and
its mission will be to help others have a better understanding of the Old and New 
Testaments.

I guess the liberal pro-gay groups should boycott these companies just like Chick-fil-A or 
is it their 1st amendment right to free-speech to believe in what they want?

Bank of America was Bank of Italy

On October 17, 1904, Amedeo Giannini, a son of an Italian immigrant to the United States opened the Bank of Italy in a converted saloon in San Francisco. On the first day, the bank collected 28 deposits with a value of $8,780.

After an earthquake destroyed the bank in 1907, the bank was running from a plank in the street. The word “bank” came from the Italian word “banca”, which means “a bench or counter.” His “bank” services was an instant success and quickly became popular. In 1928, Giannini changed the name to Bank of America and several branches were soon opened. By 1929, the bank was strong enough to withstand the Great Depression stock crash.   Bank of America would soon become one of the largest financial institutions in the world, but due to poor management, had to receive a government bailout in 2008.
