Now would probably be a really bad time to mention again that Federal ‘workers’ – the 17th highest paid employees – owe $ billions in back taxes…
Quit Your Job! Household Welfare Now $168 Per Day, $30 Higher Than Median Income
(Independent Journal Review) On average the government spends $168 per household on various assistance programs, one-fifth more than the median income of $137.
As the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee reported (after all, who else in government is going to do it?), welfare spending per hour per household in poverty is $30.60, which is higher than the $25.03 median income per hour.
The Weekly Standard points out that direct welfare payments are not taxed:
After accounting for federal taxes, the median hourly wage drops to between $21.50 and $23.45, depending on a household’s deductions and filing status. State and local taxes further reduce the median household’s hourly earnings. By contrast, welfare benefits are not taxed.”
Welfare recipients never had it so good. This is not to say that poor people are rich, or that life is easy for everyone on food stamps or on some other form of government assistance. It’s just that conservatives would rather poor people be working, rather than paying their way through life on other people’s dime (which at this point, is their children’s dime).
[...] Progressives have been gushing about big government programs since the invention of the telephone, and this is the logical consequence of welfare state spending without limit: people find it easier to go on the government dole than to strive for a work paycheck.
From Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member:
Why work? Seriously, why not everyone quit their jobs and go sign up for government welfare? It’s compassionate and oh-so-progressive. That’s the message the Democrat Party has been churning out for decades, and even some Republicans like George W. Bush fell for it.
It’s much wiser to heed the words of Benjamin Franklin:
“I am for doing good to the poor, but… I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed…that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”
But, but… making people uncomfortable is cruel! And intergenerational poverty and a collapsed economy isn’t?

I know, “Newsweek who?” But Chicago Jesus certainly does need any help from Newsweek to inform his sheeple that their king has arrived.
Too bad all of ‘main’stream media refuses to acknowledge the prophetic writings contained in a sovereign book what few remaining on this continent refer to as, “The Bible.”
“The king will do as he pleases, exalting himself and claiming to be greater than every god, even blaspheming the God of gods. He will succeed, but only until the time of wrath is completed. For what has been determined will surely take place.“
~ Daniel 11:36 ~
Obama is certainly not the anti-Christ he and his government-subsidized media outlets would have you believe, but according to Daniel 11:36 many would agree he’s a primary catalyst for ‘the time of wrath‘.
Newsweek: Obama Is “The Second Coming” Of Christ
(Examiner) How did the rest of the media miss this? According to the new issue of Newsweek online, President Obama, who this weekend begins his second term–the third president in a row to do so–is “The Second Coming.”
With flattering photographs, the magazine edited by Obama fan Tina Brown holds out hope that in his second Inaugural Address, Obama can inspire and show that he can also lead.
The conservative media watch dog, Media Research Center, first noticed the God-like cover.
“Conservatives have long joked that the national press corps see Barack Obama as the second coming of Jesus Christ. Today, Newsweek – at least what’s left of it, an online product for tablets and e-readers – made it official,” said Center Vice President Brent Baker
“Next to a side shot of Obama’s head, the ‘Inauguration 2013′ cover story pronounces: ‘The Second Coming.’”

Birds of a feather…
Armstrong Even Lied To Oprah?
(ABC News) Lance Armstrong may have lied to Oprah Winfrey during his so-called confession Thursday night about his doping during the Tour de France bicycle race, investigators told ABC News today.
Armstrong, 41, admitted for the first time that his decade-long dominance of cycling and seven wins in the Tour de France were owed, in part, to performance-enhancing drugs and oxygen-boosting blood transfusions. He told Winfrey that he was taking the opportunity to confess to everything he had done wrong, including angrily denying reports for years claiming that he had doped.
Investigators familiar with Armstrong’s case, however, said today that Armstrong didn’t completely come clean. They say he blatantly lied about when he stopped doping, saying the last time he used the drugs and transfusions was the 2005 race.
“That’s the only thing in this whole report that upset me,” Armstrong said during the interview. “The accusation and alleged proof that they said I doped [in 2009] is not true. The last time I crossed the line, that line was 2005.”
“You did not do a blood transfusion in 2009?” Winfrey asked.
“No, 2009 and 2010 absolutely not,” Armstrong said.
Investigators familiar with the case disagree. They said today that Armstrong’s blood values at the 2009 race showed clear blood manipulation consistent with two transfusions. Armstrong’s red blood cell count suddenly went up at these points, even though the number of baby red blood cells did not.

Sheriff Justin Smith Of Larimer County Colorado: “I Will Not Enforce Unconstitutional Federal Laws”
SHN Readers: I’m reposting this article – this time in its entirety – after changing the headline to lend even more support for Sheriff Justin Smith. His local Fort Collins Colorado Leftist rag known as ‘The Coloradoan‘ (another Gannett propaganda machine) apparently wants to enrage its sheeple enough to revolt against Sheriff Justin Smith (read comments: HERE). As witnessed before by SHN and its readers, Justin’s hometown ‘news’paper – the Coloradoan – aggressively removes ‘anti-Obama’ comments: HERE
That said, if you’ve ever wondered how you slam the door on Obama and his minions, your local sheriff is just the ticket – providing he’s a true American citizen and abides by the US Constitution.
Larimer Sheriff Says He Won’t Enforce Gun Laws He Deems Unconstitutional
FORT COLLINS (9 News) – Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith announced Wednesday that he will not “enforce unconstitutional federal laws” in a social media message criticizing universal background checks on gun sales.
He denies he would selectively enforce the law, but mount a court challenge to any law that he considers an infringement on citizens’ constitutional rights. However, Smith’s original Facebook post did not reference lawsuits as a remedy.
In his Facebook post, Smith, a Republican, pointed to proposals that would require background checks on person-to-person gun sales as a potential violation of the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
The volume of the gun policy debate was elevated in the past six months by mass shootings at an Aurora movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school. President Barack Obama and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, both Democrats, have expressed support for background checks when guns are sold from one individual to another, which is not required under current state and federal law.
“There is no law, there’s a proposal,” Smith said when asked whether he would enforce such a law. “I’m pointing out the holes in it. Let’s see what happens.”
Smith posted on his Facebook page that in his capacity as sheriff he will not “enforce unconstitutional federal laws,” “obey unconstitutional laws” or allow the Constitutional rights of citizens in Larimer County to be violated. Smith contends that universal background checks on gun sales would likely violate citizens’ Second Amendment rights.
“I encourage thinking citizens of all political affiliations, or no political affiliation, to carefully and logically follow the shell game that is occurring before their very eyes,” Smith wrote. “The only possible way to achieve ‘universal background checks’ for private transactions of lawfully-owned firearms is to register every single firearm in existence in our nation. Otherwise, the federal government could never prove the transaction of a firearm. Anyone who fails to go through with such registration will be defined as a criminal by our federal government. That same government which all too often has failed to enforce the current laws against criminal predators, will then start to discriminately target and prosecute law-abiding Americans who are simply exercising their Constitutionally recognized Right to keep and bear arms.”
Smith asserts in the Facebook post that the Colorado Constitution affords sheriffs the discretion to carry out their duties independent of legal directives handed down by other governmental bodies. Rather, Smith contends that sheriffs are accountable first to the citizens in the jurisdiction where they hold office.

The Coloradoan – another Leftist Gannett rag – just posted this piece big-n-bold, front-n-center on their all talking points blog/flyer they like to call a ‘news’paper.
Why? To enrage enough Obama sheeple – their primary subscribers – to revolt.
Pay attention readers: If you’ve ever wondered how you slam the door on Obama and his minions, your local sheriff is the ticket – providing he’s a true American citizen and abides by the US Constitution.
Hat’s off to you, Sheriff Justin Smith. The patriots that remain in this nation support your efforts and understand – as you do – freedom ain’t free.
Larimer Sheriff Says He Won’t Enforce Gun Laws He Deems Unconstitutional
Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith announced on social media Wednesday that he will not enforce laws that he deems unconstitutional.

Obama Exploits Children, Again
(The Stir) On Wednesday, President Obama surrounded himself with cute kids to make a speech about gun control and how guns that hold more than 10 bullets are evil, and anyone that says otherwise obviously hates children. And puppies. Then he signed an executive order that is totally going to prevent bad people from doing bad things. He also said that any pundit that disagrees with him is doing so for “monetary gain.”
Or something like that. He didn’t specifically mention puppies, but he did imply that people who do not see the wisdom in his 23-point executive order to limit gun violence in America must not care about the children. It’s always about the children.
Here’s the thing: Second Amendment advocates care about the children too, but don’t parade them around to evoke an emotional reaction to accomplish a political end.

The ‘Minutemen Are Turning In Their Graves’: HERE
Never mind the 11 million American babies – some at Mom’s 8-month term of pregnancy – Obama and his sheep have slaughtered via abortion. Never mind Obama’s illegal war(s) that have killed 176+ children. We need to ban guns, on ‘behalf of the children.’
Question: Are there any MEN left in this country?!
Being emotionally charged over MSM talking points (i.e. ‘Bushmasters kill children’) does not equate to ‘critical thinking’ or ‘taking action.’ And waiting for a prophetic sign from your favorite alphabet network to ‘inform’ everyone when it’s finally time to stand up against rampant government corruption and lawlessness… well, it ain’t gonna happen.
Unplug from CNN and FOX for a moment, because compromise and gradualism – devoid of critical thinking and/or action (aka ‘political correctness’) – is exactly why we’re in this mess.
It’s a pity, a shame really, that most American’s waited until the 2nd Amendment threat to engage in critical thinking, and perhaps action. Instead, choosing to bitch/gab at the water coolers about our nation’s snowballing sad affairs – comparable to the ‘critical thinking’ required when discussing one’s favorite NFL team that won/lost a game.
‘Better late than never’ goes the cliché. Wrong. It’s become painfully obvious that the majority of lazy American’s will not act until they’re affected. How selfish. How thoughtless.
America’s ‘tolerance’ has become stupidity.

[Dave, had to tighten up your piece a bit since this event just occurred. Cheers! ~ Sad Hill]
(Dave Blount of Moonbattery) When the Community Organizer in Chief announce[d] how he will use executive orders to circumvent Congress and gut the Second Amendment, he [was] surrounded by children used as props. Like his slogan “Forward,” the tactic of dressing up tyranny to look like a daycare center was lifted straight from his fellow oligarchical collectivists Hitler and Stalin:
Not even most Obama voters are dumb enough to think that disarming the law-abiding will make children or anyone else other than criminals any safer. What decent person would take the gun out of the hands of Melinda Herman?
Yet we have to endure the nauseating charade of our rulers pretending they are only snuffing out the liberty that defines us as Americans for our own good — and of course for the good of the children, who can look forward to a lifetime of debt thanks to those same rulers.
