 TPP, Amnesty Charades Prove Americans Have No Representation  
(rickwells.us) - What if the communists were further along in their admitted objective of capturing America from within than was widely suspected or being reported? Isn’t that exactly how it’s believed and feared it will happen, that we’ll just suddenly wake up one day and the communists will officially be in charge?... Surely nobody expects them to be sending out monthly progress reports through George Stephanopoulos. They would want to avoid creating too much public awareness until it’s too late for us to stop them, an easy task with this American public. In W. Cleon Skousen’s book The Naked Communist, he listed 45 “goals of the communist takeover of America,” which were read into the Congressional Record in 1963. Number fifteen was “Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.” The Democrat Party has obviously already been transformed into a Marxist front organization, identifying themselves as “progressives,” which is merely a sanitized synonym for “socialist.” An expert on the subject, Vladimir Lenin said, “The goal of socialism is communism.”       http://rickwells.us/two-party-system-a-marxist-mirage-tpp-amnesty-charades-prove-americans-have-no-representation/

 Emails Prove Hilly Responsible for Murder of Americans in Benghazi  
(gopthedailydose.com) - The 2015 Southern Republican Leadership Conference in Oklahoma, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush, John Bolton, said former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton is “responsible for the tragedy of the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans,” in the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi Libya... He continued, “Now you’ll recall in her limited public appearances to date that she has said, you know, I don’t get involved in that security stuff, you know, I have people that do that. Well I have to say when I heard that I was stunned. I’ve worked for six different secretaries of state, everyone of them coming from very different backgrounds, every one of them cared about the safety of the Americans who worked for them in the State Department. And not one of them would have missed the danger that our diplomats in Libya faced. And this was called to her attention repeatedly and she didn’t do anything about it. So When we ask the question, who is responsible for the tragedy of the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, there is a very clear answer. It was Hilly Clinton.” He added, “She said she didn’t know the security situation in Libya , these documents alone, these are the first documents, it’s only going to get worse after this, after the other documents come out, but these documents alone, we know she was advised repeatedly about how dangerous it was.”       http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/05/23/watch-released-emails-prove-hillary-responsible-for-murder-of-americans-in-benghazi/

 Persecuted U.S. bakers urge Brit counterparts to fight  
(Bob Unruh) - The co-owner of an Oregon bakery that closed shop after he and his wife refused to bake a “wedding” cake for a same-sex couple is showing solidarity with a U.K. bakery facing a similar threat... “My message to Ashers bakery is stand, fight this, it’s time for Christians to unite,” Aaron Klein of Sweet Cakes By Melissa in Gresham said in an interview with the BBC. A judge has recommended a fine of $135,000 against Klein and his wife, Melissa, for violating the state’s non-discrimination law. The couple are now selling cakes from their home.         http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/persecuted-u-s-bakers-urge-brit-counterparts-to-fight/

 Leading Islamic voice calls for reconquering Jerusalem  
(Leo Hohmann) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on his countrymen to refocus on the Ottoman goal of re-conquering Jerusalem for Islam and uniting Shia and Sunni tribes for that same mission... In a speech that got almost no coverage in the Western media, Erdogan talked about invading and reconquering Jerusalem, according to an article in the Anadolu Agency of Turkey“We Muslims lost our way toward Jerusalem,” he told throngs of adoring Turks while in the state of Erzincan in central Turkey. “The water of our eyes froze making us blind, and our hearts that was destined to beat for Jerusalem is now instead conditioned for rivalry being in a state of war with each other.” Erdogan was in the city to promote numerous service projects, but the speech focused on Jerusalem. Erdogan will die in hell.       http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/leading-islamic-voice-calls-for-reconquering-jerusalem/

 Your nObamacare premiums are going up. Way up in some cases  
(Jazz Shaw) - The “Affordable” Care Act may be looking for a new name in the near future. As Fox News and the Wall Street Journal are reporting, the next round of health care premium cost adjustments are coming down the pike, and you’ll never guess where things are heading. Okay… you probably guessed already. Not all of the states are looking at rate increases in that range. Some of them are “only” going to be asking for increases in the ten percent range. But the direction is still consistent, and it isn’t down. You may recall that during the entire debate in the run up to the passage of nObamacare we were assured that one of the overarching purposes of the legislation was to halt the skyrocketing cost of health insurance, as well as making sure that more people could afford it. We were told this tale by Nancy Pulosi, though she later seemed to have forgotten saying it. Later, the message was fine tuned a bit and we were told that costs would not rise as quickly. One can only imagine what health insurance would cost in New Mexico without this legislation since they’re looking at a more than fifty percent jump in a single year.       http://hotair.com/archives/2015/05/23/no-biggie-your-obamacare-premiums-are-going-up-way-up-in-some-cases/

 A Strange Question Rand Paul Asked Hilly 2 Years Ago  
(teapartypolitics.com) - It was back in January of 2013 when Hilly Clinton first sat in front of a special committee to address the tragic occurrences in Benghazi... Though it’s long been suspected she and her boss lied about their knowledge of the attack, it wasn’t until the watchdog organization Judicial Watch sued to obtain emails did we find out for sure they lied. One of the Senators who knew something was afoot was Senator Rand Paul.        http://teapartypolitics.com/a-strange-queston-rand-paul-asked-hillary-2-years-ago-was-proven-right-today/

 Media Duped in Snowden and Paul’s Anti-NSA Campaign  
(Cliff Kincaid) - With the help of the major media, Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and his allies in the ACLU and other left-wing groups were on the verge last week of denying the United States a vital tool that could prevent another 9/11 terrorist attack... The decision of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell of Kentucky to put off a vote until next Sunday has given the country a chance to understand the stakes and review the grossly distorted coverage of what the Patriot Act has meant to those charged with stopping terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. McCon-nell says that what President nObama and Senator Rand Paul are proposing as an alternative to the government’s collection of metadata, the so-called USA Freedom Act, is an “untried—and as of yet, non-existent—bulk-collection system” that “would be slower and more cumbersome than the one that currently helps keep us safe.” The senator added, “At worst, it might not work at all due to—among many other problems—the lack of a requirement for telecommunications providers to retain the data to begin with.”        http://www.aim.org/aim-column/media-duped-in-snowden-and-pauls-anti-nsa-campaign/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email052515&utm_medium=email

 ISIS executes over 200 of its own fighters  
(hemuslimissue.wordpress.com) - The BasNews report isn’t the first time ISIS has reportedly killed its own fighters. In December 2014, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a human rights group based in Britain that monitors ISIS operations in Iraq and Syria, claimed ISIS killed as many as 200 of its own fighters for trying to flee the battlefield, the Independentreported...  “We can confirm that 120 fighters have been killed by ISIS, but from our sources on the ground we believe that over 200 have actually been killed,” said Rami Abdurrahman, director of the human rights group. Another 56 ISIS members were executed in January by the militant group after they were defeated in battle in Kober, in northern Iraq, according to al Arabiya. The executions took place after 300 ISIS members were killed in battles with the peshmerga south of Erbil. Oh, excellent. Keep killing more of them.     https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/isis-executes-over-200-of-its-own-fighters/

 nObama, Pope Francis Lying And Dictating To America – Obey...  
(rickwells.us) - Mass manipulation [pun intended] of the uneducated and misinformed as well as a wretched abuse of power will be on display for all the world to see as the Marxist agitator disguised as a religious leader, Pope Francis, acts in a most blatantly inappropriate political manner... In league with his communist comrade Hussein nObama, Francis will soon issue an edict intended to force the United States into global wealth redistribution and the first official steps towards submission to a global government under the United Nations. A report by AP warns us to expect attacks through all of the customary religious methodologies – prayer   vigils, pilgrimages, policy briefings, seminars and sermons, anything that will serve to stir emotion over reason, allowing the false teachings of Francis to increase pressure against the United States to submit to his global extortion. Francis, who is apparently fancies himself to be as qualified in climate science and meteorology as he is in theology, is busily preparing an encyclical for release the end of June. It will be a brainwashing document disguised as a teaching tool, intended to persuadethe world that man, not God, controls the Earth and that we have the power and must act to prevent nature from doing what it has done since time began, changing on its own.        http://rickwells.us/obama-pope-francis-lying-and-dictating-to-america-obey-pay-and-worship-the-earth-altar-boys/

Maglite’s Tony Maglica: 
Torchbearer of the American Dream
Michelle Malkin
     (freedomsback.com) - In our home, we try to instill a life lesson for our kids best summed up in Latin: Nihil boni sine labore. It means, “Nothing good achieved without hard work.” Few people I’ve met in my lifetime embody this motto better and more brilliantly than Tony Maglica, inventor of the iconic Maglite flashlight.
.     The spry 84-year-old founder and CEO of Mag Instrument still traverses his 450,000-square-foot factory floor dozens of times over the course of his 12-hour workday, six days a week, beginning at the crack of dawn and ending after most of his 800 employees have clocked out. I visited his Ontario, Calif., headquarters while doing research for my new book, “Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs.”
.     Born on the tiny island of Zlarin off the coast of Croatia, Maglica came here determined to make something of himself. His first job was sewing piecework in a sweatshop at 50 cents an hour. He worked hard to assimilate, teaching himself English from a dictionary. With his wife and young child in tow, the ambitious 20-year-old tinkerer packed up a rusted, bald-tired 1947 Studebaker and headed West.
.     In Denver, he found employment as a machinist, but aroused the ire of union shop leaders who complained when he completed more pieces than his colleagues or skipped his mandated breaks. “Why were they so angry that I wanted to work? I came here to work!” Tony exclaimed to me. He packed up and headed with his family to California, where the promise of $3-an-hour jobs beckoned. In 1955, he rented a tiny garage in working-class South El Monte, whose motto is “City of Achievement,” to do contract machinery work.
.     “This is where it all started,” Tony showed me, pointing to an old black-and-white photo of a shed with bars on its narrow window slits. He scraped together $125 as a down payment on the $1,000 machinery. The superior quality of Tony’s precision tool work on U.S. missiles and satellites won him several loyal aerospace and defense clients. Tony worked harder, faster and longer than other contractors to get a job done. He slept in the garage on his workbench to meet deadlines.
.     Tony innovated and patented improvements on precision tool devices and incorporated Mag Instrument in 1974. While fulfilling orders for a long-defunct flashlight parts manufacturer, a proverbial bulb flashed in Tony’s head. Before he came along, flashlights were ugly, flimsy objects. They were called “flash lights” because the carbon filament bulbs were inefficient and could not produce a steady stream of light. Dissatisfied with the state of flashlight design, Tony innovated a strong, sleek torch of anodized aluminum, which resists corrosion inside and out. He crafted self-cleaning contacts, “a push button switch instead of a slide switch, and an adjustable beam, so you could go from flood to spotlight.” The torch’s three seams are sealed with O-rings for water resistance.
.     U.S. Patent 4,286,311, filed by Tony in 1978 and approved by the Patent Office in August 1981, ushered in a new age of heavy, rugged flashlights with powerful beams used by police officers, firefighters and other first responders who tell jaw-dropping stories of how their Maglites saved lives. Consumers embraced his products as household necessities, too. Admirers dubbed his torch “engineered light” and a “work of art that works.” An unapologetic guardian of his intellectual property rights, Maglite has spent more than $100 million battling infringers. The company has never lost a lawsuit.
.     From Day One, Tony vowed to manufacture products that were 100-percent American. Tony doesn’t just build flashlights in America. He builds many of the machines that build those flashlights. “Politicians always talk about supporting American manufacturing. I have done it,” Tony told me.
.     “Government doesn’t innovate. People like me do. Government doesn’t create jobs. We do.”
.     When Mag Instrument needed a certain battery clip, it refused to import the part from China. Tony designed his own clip and spent $1 million tooling up his plant to manufacture the parts in-house and in-country. Maglite defiantly refuses to outsource workers because “it would offend against his faith in the American free-enterprise system, and against the spirit of giving back. Mr. Maglica knows that Mag Instrument got where it is by being an American company.”
.     The owner of 200 other patents, Tony the tireless tinkerpreneur showed me an empty lab room where he had been developing new, revolutionary incandescent bulb parts. The machinery is dormant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency forbade him from producing the bulbs in the wake of the government’s incandescent bulb ban. He had planned to hire more workers to make the new products. Those plans are off. “That was such a shame,” Tony told me. “Such a waste.” But he remains undaunted and undeterred in pursuit of the American Dream.
.     Unlike the golfer in chief at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who mocks wealthy capitalists as “society’s lottery winners,” Tony hasn’t taken a vacation in more than a decade and doesn’t plan to anytime soon: “As long as I’m alive, I will never give up.”
.     For the self-made makers and builders of America, it’s a lifelong creed: Nihil boni sine labore.
