Congress Hinders Boston Bomb Inquiry by Blocking Information

The investigation of the Boston bombings is the latest example of how the firearms lobby has helped weaken U.S. laws governing the collection and distribution of information vital to tracking weapons and spotting gun trafficking.

In the April 15 Boston bombing, a manhunt for the killers that lasted days could have taken just hours if the explosives fragments littering the scene had contained taggants, law enforcement veterans say. Authorities may never be able to track the gun used to kill a transit police officer because its external identification number was worn down.

Police racing to solve the Boston Marathon bombing were prevented from using existing technology to identify the source of the black powder in the explosives that killed three and injured more than 260. They’ve also been unable to trace the gun used to kill a police officer.

In both cases an urgent investigation — where more lives could have been in danger — was hindered because of a decades-long campaign by the National Rifle Association and its allies in Congress to prevent the collection of data about guns and ammunition, former law enforcement officials say.

Guns don’t kill does he or does he not that is the question?

Starting to build a strong workforce in high school

Back in the early 1990′s I was hired by a state school that specialized in retraining unemployed workers. Workers from 18 to 48  was the age group at that time in my classroom, could have been 15 to 70?

People from all walks of life were being trained to go where the work was and I found that each, men and women, were extremely eager to learn a new and useful skill.

I didn’t just teach heating and cooling, we did everything that my knowledge would allow for them to get jobs and jobs they did get.

So, I am 100% for this teaching in our schools!

Build them and hire them.

Definition of ‘Insanity’

WHY NOTHING GETS DONE!

House Floor Activities Legislative Day of May 17, 2013

http://clerk.house.gov/floorsummary/floor.aspx

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

HOUSE RULE: If at first you fail!

Keep on Failing!

House Speaker John Boehner promised that he would stop time-wasting on holding another doomed vote on “Obamacare.”

HOWEVER!

He said.

“We’ve got 70 new members who have not had an opportunity to vote on the president’s health-care law,” he explained. “Frankly, they’ve been asking for an opportunity to vote on it.”

New members return to their districts have to explain why they’re wasting taxpayer money on a purely symbolic and meaningless vote.

The House Republican leader has them in Washington only 122 days this year.

The CBO’s last estimate of the budget impact of repeal, in 2012, was that it would increase the deficit by $109 billion.

Democrats have had great fun repeating Einstein’s definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Your Garden is a Warzone

Your Garden is like your country.

As with any other war, when you know that the enemy is about to attack, if you want to keep your garden from the enemy you must go to war! As with any war it is won before any battle even starts.

When up in New England one could stick a seed in the ground plant marigolds around it and come back later to pick some food!

But remember Mother Nature planted millions of rocks and boulders all over New England!

I now live in the center of bug, wild life, bird alley, central Florida and quickly learned that I had to go to war to have my garden!

Never use chemicals, not needed and will kill you and everything that you love plus all of the good bugs needed to help you win your war!

I started my newer garden some time ago

http://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/spring-sprang-sprung/

My new garden is starting to take off, refrigerator full of summer squash plants full of green tomatoes and the rest of the garden climbing up the string and poles.

Remember gardening can be easy and fun if done right. You must start early and do a little each day? Never over do your garden fun or it will quickly become work!

With my new garden, I have water ready so that each evening just before the sun goes down, if no rain I can water.

My older garden, I could not water, so I saved up plastic gallon bottles from milk, tea, store bought water and so on, punched some extremely small holes about the size of a good sewing machine needle, at the bottom, not in the bottom at the bottom, placed it into the ground up to its neck and next to every plant and keep them full. I have my old 5 hp rotor tiller (yes, over kill) from up north so I started these gardens (in Florida sand) with a good tilling, after that just keep an eye on weeds and grass.

No tiller, no problem, just turn some grass over, shake the dirt loose and use the grass for mulch. Mulching is for another posting! A short cut is to buy the black plastic covering and cover the ground, cutting holes as you plant?

Now is the time to look back at my earlier posting

You can buy rolls of screening most any store and fence off your garden, a must!

Use the buckets explained in the above posting to keep our attackers from underground at bay.

I hope that this helps you, if not please write?

(Native American) World War Two Hero

An international production starring a Puerto Rican and a Frenchman.

A Native American tale about  Jimmy Picard “Jimmy Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian” .

Jimmy Picard a Blackfoot Indian is player by Benicio Del Toro a Puerto Rican?

Once again one must assume that there are no Blackfoot Actors qualified to play the part of a Blackfoot Indian?

An eager anthropologist and psychologist from France, George Devereux (Mathieu Amalric), so one must also wonder who played the part of the Frenchmen? An Englishmen?

http://gulfnews.com/arts-entertainment/celebrity/jimmy-p-a-native-american-tale-with-international-pedigree-1.1185227

“The film has one foot in Europe and one foot in America,” Desplechin told reporters Saturday. The “A Christmas Tale” director, shot the movie in the Midwest and on a Blackfoot reservation in Montana.

Please do not blame the French, they learned from the Americans, there are no Indian actors in Indian Country?

The European Americans have Finally learn the French word Déjà

If I wish to believe that the Sky is yellow, this is none of your business, in this free country you can believe that the sky is Blue, none of my business!

Definition: “The phrase déjà vu is French for already seen and is used to refer to when a person experiences the feeling that they have seen, experienced, or been someplace before even when they are sure that that is not really true. So, for example, a person who arrives at a new city they have never before visited may experience déjà vu on a street, experience the intense feeling that they have been on that street at some point in the past”.

Believers, your own bibles tell you that your arch enemy will destroy you from within.

Guess what?

Your arch enemy is here and hard at work today!

The first invaders to our land came looking for freedom of religion, persecution and brutal non believers!

They soon became the persecutors and began brutally forcing their belief on our people!

Now that the shoe is on the other foot these same people are complaining about injustice?

One very sad ‘man’ has the whole state of Georgia cowering in a corner afraid to STOP and say NO MORE, if you do not like the ways of this state MOVE!

When will the Euro-American people take back their beliefs?

ATLANTA — When Ed Buckner and his family went to a north Georgia state park to celebrate his son’s birthday, he was surprised and concerned to find Bibles in the state-owned cabin he had rented (Surprised? ) I guess that he does not get out much?

An atheist, Buckner believes that no religious literature should be provided in government-owned lodging, and he presented that concern to management at the Amicalola Falls State Park.

What goes on behind closed door? Only the shadow knows, I guess most of you are far too young to remember the Radio Show, The Shadow knows?

No, I was not around for the beginning of the radio show however, I did listen to some a little later on.

OK enough about me how about our governor?

If nothing else he is consistent!

Constantly shooting down good paying job companies from coming to our state to open for business?

So what is all of the secrets going on behind those closed door?

Where is the Shadow when you need him?

Lots of questions, too few answers.

Native American tribes challenge Obama

President Bryan Brewer?

Native American tribes challenge Obama over Keystone XL pipeline

A Native American “president” ? Wants a nation to nation visit with President Obama.

Why should he, when we keep allowing congress to push it through?

http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/native-american-tribes-challenge-obama-over-keystone-xl-pipeline/article_0bcf43ea-d6d7-591c-86ac-9a407e712b16.html

One of the reasons why we, unlike our brothers and sisters from the African American people and the Latino people, will never be recognized as a viable entity throughout Indian country! We are not going after the cause of our problem, we keep going after the only government official trying to help us?

What about the Congress of the United States of America, the people that keep voting to run that polluting garbage through our land? Why are we not as a united people going after them?

Oglala Sioux Tribal (President) Bryan Brewer speaks about the need to block the Keystone XL Pipeline through Indian Country. Brewer noted that he would only discuss the pipeline with President Obama, government to government, he said.

Leaders from 11 Native American tribes from South Dakota to Oklahoma walked out of a meeting with federal officials in Rapid City on Thursday to protest the proposed Keystone XL pipeline.

They then issued a direct challenge to President Obama: Talk to us directly or not at all.

Side note question?

When did we as a people start to refer to our Sachems and Chiefs as presidents, vice president and council representative?

Our ancestors are getting a little tired of turning over in their graves, wake up people  it is called UNITE as ONE! Start by finding real leaders.

President Joseph, Vice president Geronimo, President Tecumseh, President Wilma Mankiller, President Pontiac, Councilor Sitting Bull, Vice president Standing Bear, President Red Cloud, Councilor Black Hoof, President Cochise, Councilor Red Jacket, President Seattle, Vice president Crazy Horse, President Uncas, President Manuelito and on and on and on! Does that sound all right to you?
