» Obama HHS Dumped 1,300 New Pages of Regulations In Advance Of Independence Day Holiday

Obamacare Is Now More Than 3,000 Pages Of Regulations!

Lead Story by Matthew Burke, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
You know it’s bad news when the Obama regime dumps news or regulations on a Friday night or on the verge of a major national holiday.

As most citizens and reporters were preparing to celebrate America’s Independence Day, the 4th of July, the Obama bureaucrats were busy inflicting 1,296 pages of new health care regulations on an already highly over-regulated industry. At 4:15 PM on July 3, when many were checking out for the three-day weekend, the Obama HHS delivered a massive stack of new regulations.

You can see the almost 1,300 pages of largely incomprehensible gobbledygook here and here.

Federalist Paper No. 62, written by Founding Father James Madison, considered the “Father of the Constitution,” wrote a warning about massive laws, constantly changing and incoherent:

 photo WinstonChurchillQuote5.jpgThe internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessing of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow.

» A Timely Reminder—What did the President Know…?
Accuracy In Media (AIM) —
Former Senator Howard Baker (R-TN) passed away last week at the age of 88. Although Sen. Baker served as Ronald Reagan’s Chief of Staff, and Senate Majority Leader, he is perhaps best known for his famous line asked during the Watergate investigation: “My primary thesis is still, what did the president know, and when did he know it?” Given the number of scandals facing the Obama administration today, this question has a haunting quality, not only for President Richard Nixon but also for President Barack Obama.

» WATCH: Impeachment Is Nothing Compared To What Ted Cruz Wants To Do To Eric Holder
Western Journalism —
Texas Senator Ted Cruz sounds off on Attorney General Eric Holder for his appointing of of a major democratic donor, Barbara Bosserman, to investigate the IRS scandal. Cruz then called for Holder’s impeachment if he refused to appoint an independent prosecutor. Cruz cited the decisions of the Attorneys General under Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton to appoint independent prosecutors when they both were accused of abusing their power. “If this were a Republican administration, every media outlet would have banner headlines every single day.”

» Wide Open Borders!
Gabor Zolna —
They are now using wave runners to bring illegals to American soil. In the video I stated that Wisconsin now has Muslims in Congress, it is Minnesota, not Wisconsin, hey I never said that I was perfect! LOL! I chose not to redo the video, which is why I explained my mistake. About Gabe: The majority of my posted video’s are to try and highlight what is really going on with our criminal and dysfunctional Administration. I have found that far too many American’s are totally clueless about most of the current issues that will ultimately dramatically impact their, ours, and our future generations lives.

» Obama Could End The Border Crisis Tomorrow If He Wanted
Townhall —
President Obama may have described the waves of tens of thousands of migrant families flooding the southern border as a "humanitarian crisis," but it is a humanitarian crisis entirely of his own creation and one which he could end tomorrow if he wanted to. The Los Angeles Times reports: President Obama and his aides have repeatedly sought to dispel the rumors driving thousands of children and teens from Central America to cross the U.S. border each month with the expectation they will be given a permiso and allowed to stay. But under the Obama administration, those reports have proved increasingly true.

» Gaza Rockets Continue To Pound Southern Israel
Israel Today —
While the current Israeli approach is aimed at avoiding further escalation in the region, many fear that such a kid-glove response will only encourage Hamas and its allies to continue attacking. And, indeed, they are doing just that. In fact, Hamas this week published a video taunting the residents of Beersheva and suggesting that they run for their lives “before it’s too late.” Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the IDF both also published videos to YouTube showing what it’s like for the residents of southern Israel to live under siege (see full story for video).

» Abortionist Who’s Killed 95,000 Babies In Abortions: “I See It As A Calling”
Life News —
Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based abortionist Dennis Christensen wants to retire but he has a problem. He told himself when he made plans to retire that he would only do so if he could find another abortion practitioner to take over his business. But he can’t find any physicians willing to make it their job to kill babies in abortions. If he and his partner Bernard Smith can’t find anyone else to run the ship, his Affiliated Medical Center will close down after 40 years of ending human lives in abortions.

» Does UN Arms Trade Treaty Threaten The Second Amendment?
The New American —
At a meeting to discuss gun control held at the United Nations on June 25, representatives of the global anti-gun lobby were discouraged by the U.S. Senate’s failure to ratify the UN’s Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). “Unfortunately, the United States, the world’s largest arms exporter, has signed but not ratified the treaty,” said Dr. Natalie J. Goldring, a senior fellow with the Security Studies Programme in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Goldring went on to lament that the U.S. Senate doesn’t seem disposed to act on approving the treaty and likely won’t “for many years.”

» Coming Soon: TSA Mind Reading Scanners To Catch Terrorists
Alex Jones’ Infowars —
“Imagine you’re going to the airport – TSA could figure out whether you’re a terrorist a not,” comments ethicist Fritz Allhoff as a clip plays of a stern looking TSA agent sat behind a high-tech screen headed up by the words, “TSA Mind Scanning.” A woman then puts on a headset to allow her brain to be scanned for violent thoughts. The second traveler opts out of the process and is given a pat down. “It shouldn’t be the case that TSA by default gets access to our thoughts, it would only be that people who wanted to participate in this sort of accelerated screening can opt in to it,” states Allhoff.

» Hamas Releases Video Warning Of Genocide Of Israelis
Truth Revolt —
In accordance with its mission statement, the Internationally recognized terrorist organization Hamas released a new video calling for genocide of Israelis on Sunday afternoon. The video claims that Israel's leaders have chosen death and advises those who live in the Israeli town of Beer Sheva to flee. The video features images of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, and Israeli Chief of General Staff of the IDF Benny Gantz juxtaposed with images of bloody children who allegedly were injured or died at the hands of Israel. In the past, both Hamas and Fatah have fabricated images and videos in an attempt to gain sympathy and international support.
