arine Held in Mexican Prison, State Department Does Nothing
Posted on December 14, 2012

i

Jon Hammar, a former Marine who served in Afghanistan and Afghanistan, is being held in a notorious Mexican prison where Zetas gang members hold power. His crime? Declaring an antique shotgun to Mexican officials after registering the gun with U.S. Customs Agents on his way to Costa Rica. Hammar has been in a prison in Mexico for months now and this week, his parents got an extortion call demanding they wire thousands of dollars to the prison. Hammar spoke to his parents on the phone, saying he thought he was going to be killed. Hammar has been tortured during his time in the prison. He’s been beaten and chained to a bed. Mexican officials have justified Hammar’s arrest, saying it came in accordance with gun laws in the country, have no plans to release him and the State Department has done nothing to get Hammar released. He could face as many as 15 years in prison.

Hammer was told as long as he declared his shot gun to Mexican customs authorities that carrying the gun to Costa Rice was legal. Apparently that wasn’t the case however considering Mexican authorities, including Mexican President Felipe Calderon, encourage their citizens to break U.S. law on a daily basis with illegal immigration and rock throwing at U.S. Border Patrol Agents, Hammer should be released immediately.

Senate Dems Want NObamacare Waivers
Posted on December 14, 2012

NObamaDoctors

This story isn’t getting a lot of play, but it should be. Many powerful Democrats, even some of the most liberal among them, are supporting what amounts to dismantling of NObamacare, and they are using Republican language to make their case. These Democrats are attempting to repeal some of the funding mechanisms as well as the cost containment measures that were purportedly inherent in the law.

This is a piece by Dr. Susan Berry at Breitbart.com. “With some of their most influential constituent groups facing onerous tax increases that are slated to help fund the law’s mandates and regulations, Senators like Al Franken (D-MN), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Patty Murray (D-WA), John Kerry (D-MA),” who served in Vietnam, “Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and others — all of whom voted in favor of the law — are aiming to delay or outright repeal parts of NObamacare.”

All told, there are 16 Democrats. Powerful Democrats are trying to defund NObamacare because it’s gonna hit their constituents like a load of bricks, and it’s gonna harm their reelection chances if they happen.

Economics 101: Small Business Cuts Back on Spending After NObama Election Victory
Posted on December 14, 2012

We have some news here. It’s not surprising to me. “US small business owners’ net capital spending intentions for the next 12 months plunged to minus 14 in November, the lowest level in more than two years, according to the Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index. This is down from net capital spending intentions of minus 1 in July and suggests the nation’s small business owners are likely to pull back on their business investments even more, given their negative expectations for the next 12 months.”

Now, I give you an illustration. In 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, this index — the Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index on Capital Spending Intentions — was at anywhere from plus 28 to plus 16. Its low was minus 23 in 2009. Now it is minus 14. We’ve had, therefore, a net drop-off of 30 points. When you see it on the graph, it makes a little bit more sense. But as recently as 2008, small business net capital expenditure expansion spending was big, it was huge, and now it’s at minus 14 for the next 12 months.

So it means no economic growth.

It means small business, which does most of the hiring, isn’t gonna be doing any.

Obama Mandates Black Boxes for All Cars – Beginning in ’14
Posted on December 14, 2012 by Cowboy Byte

Bypassing Congress, the Obama administration has issued a proposed administrative rule, which if adopted, would mandate the installation of “black boxes” in all automobiles and light trucks beginning in 2014.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed the regulation on Dec. 7, which it said “would capture valuable safety-related data in the seconds before and during a motor vehicle crash.”

The proposed standard would require automakers to install event data recorders (EDRs) – so-called “black box devices” — to collect specific safety related data in all light passenger vehicles beginning Sept. 1, 2014.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said approximately 96 percent of model year 2013 passenger cars and light-duty vehicles are already equipped with black-box capability.

Surprise: Emergency Sandy legislation full of millions in non-Sandy spending
Posted on December 14, 2012 by Cowboy Byte

The argument from those stuffing this thing like a Christmas goose is that we should pay no attention to the fact that they’re up to their elbows because the suffering of those in the wake of Superstorm Sandy is far too great to expend time or energy on passing a clean bill—WHY DO YOU HATE STORM VICTIMS?! It’s hard to think of another situation in which spending far more than one should on things that have nothing to do with helping people in the course of allegedly helping people is considered compassionate while questioning such spending is considered stone-hearted. How’d that kind of accounting work out for Wyclef Jean’s Yele charity of the “Three Cups of Tea” guy? But, hey, welcome to government. Expect less. Pay more.

The request from the White House is for a $60 billion package. That’d be fully three quarters of the amount the Democratic tax hike on those over $250,000 would bring in. ABC on its contents:

The request, which still needs the approval of Congress, includes billions in urgently needed aide. But it also features some surprising items: $23 million for tree plantings to “help reduce flood effects, protect water sources, decrease soil erosion and improve wildlife habitat” in forested areas touched by Sandy; $2 million to repair roof damage at Smithsonian buildings in Washington that pre-dates the storm; $4 million to repair sand berms and dunes at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida; and $41 million for clean-up and repairs at eight military bases along the storm’s path, including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Do you ever question your sources, or do you enjoy being a full paid up member of the right wing's Drama Queens?

Variations of black boxes have been in autos since 1999, almost all vehicles have them now. They have been used to collect accident data for more than a decade. How come you weren't concerned when car makers installed the boxes at that time?

Oh,right, it was Bush who started the draconian Big Brother maneuvers.

The actual story.

Senate Bill 1813 (known as Map-21) mandates that automakers install EDRs in all new vehicles starting in 2015. The bill was recently passed and is expected to be approved by the House.

The National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration has been studying and mulling over EDRs in vehicles for several years, but has stopped short of requiring manufacturers to implement them, CNET reports. However, many auto manufacturers already use these devices to help engineers and mechanics perform diagnostics tests and identify malfunctioning parts.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505164_1...-cars-by-2015/

Mindful of privacy concerns, it said the devices would not collect any personal identifying information, nor record conversations or run continuously. A crash or air bag deployment typically triggers the on-switch.

About 96 percent of model 2013 cars and light-duty vehicles are already equipped with a form of this technology, the safety administration estimates. The devices require special hardware and software to be tapped.

So you are saying I was aware? I can tell you I was not, this was the first I have ever heard of it. . I doubt seriously that you were either.


Had I known I would have been outraged regardless of who was in the whitehouse.

As for my thang and thinkin.. Just another example of liberal mudslinging. Petty crap. I guess I should be used to already.

Of course not, I would imagine most news has sailed over your head. You only pay attention when some right wing moonbat with a blog tells you to.

You don't even understand your own question. Try again, read more slowly.

perhaps, because I was not aware of them at the time, were you?
Yes.

As for doubting my being aware about the installation of black boxes.... it was well covered at the time, and since... but apparently not by your news sources. All left or right wing bloggers should have their stories checked before taking them as gospel. Kind of like checking facts about GM moving its Jeep production to China. The voters knew bull**** when they saw it, but the far right numbskulls, who invented or bought into the lie, were clueless.

You've probably been driving around with a black box for years. Assuming you're still allowed to drive.


Black Boxes In Cars Aiding Crash Probes
May 30, 1999|By Matthew L. Wald, New York Times News Service.

A black box about the size of a videocassette under the Lumina's front seat recorded that the air bag had deployed when the Blazer struck the first blow more violently than the human analysts suspected. The bag had deflated before the collision with the Mercury, leaving Vargas, who was not wearing a seat belt, unprotected.

The telltale recorder--a Sensing and Diagnostic Module, or SDM--was one of 6 million put into various models of General Motors cars since 1990.

Does Your Car Have a Black Box?
Event data recorders know when you've been speeding, and when you've hit the brake.

By Paul Boutin|Posted Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2003, at 12:25 PM ET

Black boxes—event data recorders like the ones found in airliners—are increasingly common in automobiles and vary from one type of car to another. But cars with airbags have long had onboard computers with the sensors and software necessary to determine within 1/100 of a second that you're in a crash; that's how cars know when to deploy the bags. These computers, called sensing and diagnostic modules, are located inside the transmission hump, behind the dashboard, or under the seat, and constantly collect and process data on the car's acceleration or deceleration. Airbag-equipped cars made by General Motors (which owns Cadillac) have had SDMs since 1974.

Liberals hope Supreme Court will restrict concealed carry
By Mark Sherman December 17, 2012 6:57 am

Washington (AP) - The next big issue in the national debate over guns — whether people have a right to be armed in public — is moving closer to review by the U.S. Supreme Court.

A provocative ruling by a panel of federal appeals court judges in Chicago struck down the only statewide ban on carrying concealed weapons, in Illinois. The ruling is somewhat at odds with those of other federal courts that have largely upheld state and local gun laws, including restrictions on concealed weapons, since the Supreme Court's landmark ruling declaring that people have a right to have a gun for self-defence.


Roughly 40 states make it easy for people to carry a gun in public. But in California, New York and a few other states, local and state regulations make it difficult if not impossible to get a license to carry a weapon. Illinois and Washington, D.C., have been the only places to refuse to allow people to be armed in public.


But Wayne LaPierre, chief executive officer of the National Rifle Association, the influential gun owners' lobbying group, said, "Clearly, the individual right under the Constitution does not apply only to your home. People have lives outside their home and the constitutional right applies outside their home."

Sometimes, LaPierre said, "The only thing to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."

Judge Richard Posner of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals employed similar reasoning in his majority opinion striking down the Illinois law. Posner said that threatening confrontations do not only or even principally occur at home. "A Chicagoan is a good deal more likely to be attacked on a sidewalk in a rough neighborhood than in his apartment on the 35th floor of the Park Tower," the judge said.

He focused on the distinction between inside the home and on the street in his questioning of another recent appeals court ruling that upheld New York's restrictive law on granting people permits to carry concealed weapons. A unanimous panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the requirement that people demonstrate a special need to carry a concealed weapon does not violate the Constitution.

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."


So far, the Supreme Court has turned down appeals asking it to say more about guns. But that reluctance might fade if the court were presented with a split between appeals courts, typically a strong factor in attracting the justices' interest.

Out With Concussion: Hillary Clinton Will Not Testify at Benghazi Hearings 5 Days from Now
Posted on December 16, 2012 by Cowboy Byte

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sustained a concussion last week after becoming extremely dehydrated and fainting while suffering from a stomach virus, the State Department said.

The 65-year-old Clinton is recovering at home and has been advised by her doctors to continue to rest and avoid strenuous activity and cancel all work events for the next week. She had been scheduled to testify before a pair of congressional panels looking into the Sept. 11 attack against a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya.

Clinton was diagnosed with a concussion Thursday after fainting at home earlier this week, according to a State Department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss Clinton’s injury publicly. The doctors did not determine it to be a “severe” concussion, the official said.
