(D-CA) stood on the steps of Congress Thursday morning to speak about the ongoing Democrat “sit-in” over gun control. She and some of her colleagues wanted to express their extreme distaste of the 2^nd Amendment and their desire to see the Bill of Rights scrubbed for the modern century. They continue to call for new laws that would either undermine or eliminate the 1^st, 2^nd, 5^th, and 6^th Amendments!

House Speaker Paul Ryan’s primary challenger, Paul Nehlen, launched a new attack billboard this Friday in the speaker’s own hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin, and judging by its message, it could very well destroy Ryan’s career for good.

"Radical Islam Kills Americans,” the billboard read. “Vote YES for Immigration Control. Vote NO for Paul Ryan.”

GOPDD: Obama’s Amnesty Plan Blocked by Supreme Court: No More Shield For illegals

Jun 24, 2016 by Clyde

A tie vote by the Supreme Court is blocking President Barack Obama’s immigration plan that sought to shield millions living in the U.S. illegally from deportation.
The justices’ one-sentence opinion on Thursday effectively kills the plan for the duration of Obama’s presidency.

A tie vote sets no national precedent but leaves in place the ruling by the lower court. In this case, the federal appeals court in New Orleans said the Obama administration lacked the authority to shield up to 4 million immigrants from deportation and make them eligible for work permits without approval from Congress.

LISBON’S SPENDING CONTINUES TO GROW!!!!

Tuesday night, the Town Council added an additional $955,714.00 dollars to the operating cost of the town. This means that our leadership does not care about the impact on our taxes. This is proven by the fact that since April 13, 2016, our Town Council did not hold any budget workshops in an effect to either reduce spending or increase our revenue. It is a fact that the ONLY way to reduce taxes is a combination of reducing spending and increasing revenue. Our current Town Council made no effort to do neither; instead they relied on the Town Manager to make all the cuts. NOT HER JOB!!!!!

If you remember last year the Town Council forced the School Department to cut $600,000 dollars in their budget. This cost us, the taxpayers, a great deal of addition tax dollars because of the legal fees and the numerous referendums. As a result, we now have three new Councilors and rightfully so. This year we have three more Councilors coming up for reelection and if they are not interested in making an effort to reduce our taxes; they need to go. This town needs to find three more honest individuals who can put the town’s interest first instead of their friends and neighbors agendas. Loyalty is a wonderful thing but as a Councilor your loyalty has to be to the community first and upmost.

Each Councilor has a responsibility to try and find ways to improve this town. I am sure that we have numerous citizens whom have excellent thoughts on improving the community. We just need to find them. A year or two ago, the former Town Council researched a solution to save the town approximately $190,000.00 tax dollars by closing the Communication Center. A saving of $190,000.00 is not an insignificant amount of money but the project was stopped out of loyalty to the Police Department instead of what was in the best interest of the community.

Right now, if the town would reinstate this program, it would take approximately six month to switch over to whatever Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) the town decides to go with. This means that the town has lost at least six months of savings due to the lack of the Town Council to act on this project. It is critical that the 911 operators, whom are qualified as Emergency Medical Dispatcher, dispatch first responder upon receipt of the request for emergency services instead of being force to have to notify the Lisbon Communication Center prior to having first responders dispatched to the scene. This is a waste of valuable time which is critical in any emergency situation. Lisbon Communication Center has no one qualified as a 911 operators or Emergency Medical Dispatcher. This reduces the quality of service being provided to victims by the Lisbon Communication Center.

So why is it the Chairman Bickford, Councilors Metivier, Brunelle and Crafts not trying to find solutions to either reduce spending or increase revenue? If they are not part of the solution then they need to go because they are part of the problem.

FREE BEACON: State Department Memo Conflicts With Claims From Top Security Official

State Department official claimed he did not know about private Hillary server

June 22, 2016 5:10 pm

A State Department official who told Congress he had no knowledge of Hillary Clinton’s private email server was included on an internal memo that discussed the server’s installation on March 17, 2009, the day it was allegedly set up.
The memo and other documents published by the watchdog group Judicial Watch on Wednesday conflict with claims that State Department security official John Bentel was unaware of Clinton’s personal email server.
Bentel has declined through his attorney to answer questions about the server from the Senate Judiciary Committee, citing a lack of knowledge. The committee has repeatedly sought testimony from Bentel over the past several months.

TOWNHALL: The Susan Collins Gun Control Amendment is a Nightmare For Innocent Americans

Posted: Jun 22, 2016 12:45 PM

Earlier this week four different gun control bills were predictably voted down in the Senate. Now, as Matt has reported, Senators will vote on yet another piece of legislation introduced by Maine Republican Susan Collins.
"The bipartisan 'Terrorist Firearms Prevention Act of 2016' would prevent people who are on the No Fly List or the Selectee List from purchasing firearms. If our government has determined that an individual is too dangerous to fly on an airplane, that person should not have the opportunity make a legal firearm purchase," Collins office released yesterday in a white paper. "Due process principles require that Americans denied their right to purchase a firearm under this provision have the opportunity to appeal this denial to a federal court."

GOPDD: House Dems Go Full ‘Occupy’, Holding Sit-In In Congress To Get Vote On ‘No Fly List’ Gun Ban

Jun 22, 2016 by Dylan

Weasle Zippers The Senate already had a vote this week that they lost. A compromise bill is being proposed for a vote in Senate sometime in the near future, but Democrats are claiming Paul Ryan blocked vote on issue today in the House. They want those on the ‘no fly list’ to not be able to get guns. Due process? Not something they care about.
Update:
They want to claim it’s ‘for the children’, but they never actually pose any real solutions that would actually help ‘the children’. Would the no fly list ban do one blessed thing to stop the mass shootings in Chicago? Or any random mentally ill shooter? No. But he wins the Kabuki Theater drama award of the day:

EAGLE RISING: Which Presidential Candidate said: “F*ing Retas” and “Stupid Ki**s” when Commenting on Disabled Children and Jews?

Written by Onan Coca

Whoa. Be forewarned, there is some very ugly truth about the Clintons in this story and it may not be for every reader. It’s definitely not PG-13.
So, which Presidential candidate has said some horribly racist and mean-spirited comments? I’ll give you one guess, and it’s NOT the guy who is constantly being called a racist.
A recent exposé from the Daily Mail uncovers some very ugly truths about the Clinton family, and about Bill and Hillary’s disgusting bigotry in particular. Another one of Bill Clinton’s ex-lovers (so many of them are speaking out these days) is spilling the beans on the dastardly thoughts, deeds, and machinations of the would-be political dynasty. Former Clinton mistress Dolly Kyle told the Daily Mail about a few of the disturbing stories that appear in her upcoming book about the dark side of the Clinton family. Over at BizPac Review, Warner Todd Huston has some of the details:

GOPDD: Hillary Fan Scoffs at Benghazi… Gets BRUTAL Reality Check From Soldier Who Was There (Video)

Jun 20, 2016 by Clyde

GOPDD: Navy Seal Destroys Liberal Hacks By EXPOSING Their Ignorance

Jun 20, 2016 by Dylan

After the attack at Pulse night club in Orlando, Hillary Clinton looked past the obvious enemy – radical Islamic terror – and instead said “weapons of war have no place on our streets” and that we need to ban AR-15s immediately. AR-15s are fine for Hillary and her family. They’ve been protected by armed guards who use them for three decades. But average Americans who watch the news and feel genuine fear for their safety, and their families’ safety—Hillary wants to deny them the level of protection she insists upon herself
