— andy Classic misdirection. You were paying attention to the left hand proclaiming a GOP War on Women and ginning up a lynch mob in Florida while the other left hand was quietly going about its business.
The Environmental Protection Agency will issue the first limits on greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants as early as Tuesday, according to several people briefed on the proposal. The move could end the construction of conventional coal-fired facilities in the United States.The proposed rule — years in the making and approved by the White House after months of review — will require any new power plant to emit no more than 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt of electricity produced. The average U.S. natural gas plant, which emits 800 to 850 pounds of CO2 per megawatt, meets that standard; coal plants emit an average of 1,768 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt.
All in pursuit of solving a fake "crisis" ginned up by the neo-Malthusian left using faulty computer models. Wonderful.

Except for the fact that thousands would die, i'd like to see us shutdown all the power from the coal fired power plants for one hour of one day.
It might remind these idiots what they are really trying to do.

A conservative Houston newspaper is at the centre of scandal after it was revealed one of its reporters has been working overtime - as a stripper.
Sarah Tressler, 29, began writing for the Houston Chronicle's society pages last April.
But her double life has apparently brought some unwanted attention for the media outlet after a rival newspaper brought her story to light...
Buttoned up: Sarah Tressler advertises herself as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston who holds a master's degree in journalism from NYU, on LinkedIn...

NYC uses 11,000 MW a day.
Using the Roscoe wind farm in Texas as an example for power generation; It generates 780 MW on 100,000 acres. It would take 14 such farms to power NYC on 1.4 Million acres.

This is why I'm not afraid to move to a 3rd world country for retirement. It's going to be just like home. Only with more freedom. Probably better health care. And people are more casual about "raaaaacism."
Right now the place I have in mind has electricity 1/2 of the day. You store up juice in your inverter system during that time to keep things up and going. Given that it's in the tropics, that's fine with me. I don't really need AC. But if I have to install batteries and an inverter up here in Michigan to keep the furnace on, well, this angry white man is going to get a lot angrier.

Maybe so. The questions is, how many on our side will have to die before we defend ourselves? And given our almost complete lack of organization, how long will it take the government funded gangs of thugs to kill us off wholesale? If the self-preservation instinct of conservatives in general were really working correctly, we'd already be forming militias. Instead we're like so many other groups who assumed that their fellow citizens wouldn't really go so far as to murder them. I hope we don't meet the same fate.

I think most troops, and the officer class, will not be eager to do that. But there are indeed those people in the forces, especially among the affirmative action crowd, that would do it. Those types can be recruited for special units. Einsatzgruppen, if you will.

If things keep going as they are, I'd guess more between 5 & 15 years.

One close friend of mine was in the Army 15 years ago, and two good friends in the Navy as recently as 6 years ago. They all knew people in the forces who expressed eagerness to pump some lead into their "oppressors." Military service is not an immunization against the entitlement mentality - plenty of inner city types are only in it for the college money and escape from the slums. They didn't magically become Rightists in basic training.
I'm not just pulling this out of my rear end - this was told to me by 3 people who served in two different branches, who have no motivation to lie to me. I'm not saying it's common - but it's there. Just like in any other group of people.

Either its a law, in which case it must be passed through the legislative process, or it's a guideline and should not permit me to be shot for violation thereof.

Official Enlistment Statistics. Do your own research before the kneejerk denial. Many non-US citizens join the US Military for their own reasons. There is no discrediting that fact which of itself is not necessarily a threat. However, the reliance upon non-US citizens to protect and defend the US Constitution, armed and trained in the world's finest military organization to follow orders, kill and destroy, is not always wise. Historically, under such conditions Rome fell.

It's odd that you'd jump on a fact as if a lie. Many non-US-citizens join the US Military as an opportunity to become US Citizens. But enlistment of itself does not bestow citizenship; and while serving, non-American citizens function as mercenaries: "Hired for service in a foreign army."
Of the two points I referenced, I'd have expected someone to deny that there's any collaboration between the CIA and the US Military.

"If Obamacare is declared constitutional then the Constitution is effectively dead. "
It's been dead for some time. I think the paradox here is that it's eventually going to take very unconstitutional measures to restore a constitutional republic. Assuming, of course, that a constitutional republic is actually what our mouthbreathing neighbors want. I'm not so sure anymore.

It can work both ways. I know in MD you can get your house registered or whatever with HUD, and it will be designated section 8. But sometimes the state will just give section 8 tenants a check to use towards rent wherever they choose. When I was renting out a townhouse, a section 8 lady inquired and said she had such and such amount of money every month to use on rent. She could tell I wasn't into the idea of renting to a section 8 renter, so she pulled out the "you can't discriminate" line.
But the problem resolved itself. She didn't have a car and wanted me to drive her to the house. I said "LOL no" and fortunately found someone else quickly after.

I live in an erstwhile "coal state". Most of the coal jobs fled after the Clean Air Act of the 1970's. (Hat tip-Richard Nixon). Most of the miners fled to other states/stuck around and worked in liquor stores, car parts outlets, Wal-Mart and so forth.
As their standard of living declined, they "progressively" (pun intended) became more invested in the dole.
So- Democrat union jobs to Democrat dole. Not a net loss for the Democrats.

30 seconds on google found statistics for 2000. At that time, 28,951 non-citizens were on active duty, making up 2.5% of all active duty forces.
They can't get an MOS requiring a security clearance and can't serve more than 8 years in the army without getting their citizenship.

According to information obtained by Belling, a custodian working for a private contractor at Whitewater (Wisconsin) High School was recently fired by her employer after two school employees, including the supervisor of custodians, demanded that she remove a pro-Scott Walker sign from her car and she refused.

I'd recommend that every family own 3 firearms. Kurt Saxon, the original survivalist, recommended a pistol (4 inch barrel 38 special revolver), a shotgun (12 gauge pump action - Remington and Mossberg make good ones), and a rifle in .30-06 caliber. If it's really close action, use the pistol, close to medium range, use the shotgun. Anything over 20-30 yards use the rifle.
I'm not talking stock a bunker or buy a collection of firearms. Buy a couple, take a shooting class, buy some ammo.
Hell, it's your right to do so.

So for peacetime it's one year after obtaining permanent resident status which takes, what, next to forever right now? Also it's fascinating that at least for citizenship purposes the US military is effectively considered to be in a state of war. It's also interesting that there's the revocation provision for other than honorable discharge before completing five years service.

Reading is fundamental.
mer·ce·nar·y (mûr
s-n r) Hired for service in a foreign army. n. pl. mer·ce·nar·ies.thefreedictionary. One that serves merely for wages: especially a soldier hired into foreign service
If reading is fundamental, then it's time to take you back to school.
Mercenaries are ALREADY soldiers when they are hired by foreign governments. They have their own leaders, intelligence section, equipment and training. They are typically hired as a cohesive unit.
In the past, countries hired them to either supplement their forces (Prussians hired by British) or to train their indigenous personnel (Rhodesia).
Mercenaries are governed by and paid in accordance with the terms of the contract with their employer.
Now contrast that with Pepé, the UNTRAINED fruit picker from Honduras, who swears an oath of loyalty to the Constitution of the United States, who then TRAINS him to become a soldier.
Fuck, you're dense. And too arrogant to realize it.

Three guesses, first two don't count:
The parents of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin will travel to Washington Tuesday to attend a House Judiciary Committee briefing on racial profiling and hate crimes, the family's lawyer told NPR.
The briefing on the federal government's enforcement of laws against racial profiling and hate crimes will be held by Democratic committee members Sheila Jackson Lee, John Conyers and Corrine Brown.

When a system has been sufficiently degraded and abused, as our Constitution has been, there comes a point at which no one will take any new calls to "follow the law from now, on" seriously. And they shouldn't. We have already seen that the rule of law is gone in the US. Empathy has been OFFICIALLY declared a legitimate main qualifying characteristic in jurists and judicial decisions (in violent opposition to millenia of Western jurisprudence), so ... there really isn't anything legitimate left to this system.
That brings us to two choices:
Jail those who have broken the law (and there are very, very many of them, from Barky and his admin on down) to show that we do wish to follow the Rule of Law ...
or start anew.
Our chances for reform will be better than anyone else in the world has had because we have different content - both in terms of population (for those that would break off) and in terms of the structure we would put in place.

And then banning them from office.
I figure it would take at least 10 - 20 years for them to figure out a way around whatever we put in their way. By then, people may have seen enough of the benefits of actual Federalism to be more resistant to their siren calls.

Before a moment of silence, Commissioner Barbara Jordan requested attendees to “remember the Trayvon Martin family.” Then boxes of Skittles were passed around the dais. A few commissioners — including Chairman Joe Martinez and Commissioners Jose “Pepe” Diaz, Audrey Edmonson, Jean Monestime and Dennis Moss — displayed them in front of their microphones for the rest of the meeting. Moss also had a can of Arizona iced tea.

or start anew.
But if you've got a citizenry that's willing to do that, you probably just need one amendment. "Upon the approval of X% of state legislatures within Y years any federal law or supreme court decision may be revoked, any justice that has had their decision so revoked is immediately and permanently removed from office." I think you'd want a high bar to avoid chaos but not as high as the requirements for a new amendment.

The point was that the number of noncitizens serving in the all volunteer military is not shrinking, but growing.

You know, those North Koreans seemed to be doing pretty OK without much electricity. It looked like instead of "rolling black-outs," where the lack of electricity was the deviation from the norm, instead they were enjoying "rolling light-ons," where for an hour or two per day they got to have some electricity.
Really, it was a beautiful thing. They'd raise their voices in thanks to Dear Leader, and then quickly go about the things they needed electricity for. Like recharging the batteries for their State-issued radio, and boiling some water for their evening meal of dirtbread dumplings.

You better get some windmills set up in your yards and buy oil lamps, oh yes you will need wood burning stoves for cooking and heating. Guess living out in the country is looking better and better all the time.
