Hagan Put Judge Up for Federal Appointment As Judge Ruled on Husband’s Million-Dollar Lawsuit
Via Bill
Just a week after Sen. Kay Hagan (D., N.C.) recommended a North
Carolina judge to President Barack Obama for a seat in the U.S. District
Court, the judge ruled in favor of a company partially owned by Hagan’s
husband.
The senator’s husband, Charles T. “Chip” Hagan, was a managing member of Hydrodyne Industries LLC when it sued a regional water authority for drawing water out of a river that had one of its hydroelectric dams built on. The lawsuit sought millions of dollars in damages and was carried out by Chip Hagan’s legal firm.
Superior Court Judge Calvin E. Murphy ruled the case in favor of Hydrodyne, setting the table for the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority to pay millions in damages to companies including Hydrodyne.
Murphy’s ruling was made on Oct. 23, 2009, just nine days after Sen. Hagan sent his name to Obama to be nominated for a lifetime seat on the U.S. District Court for Western North Carolina.
Claimed she was unaware of connection

IS THEIR A CONNECTION BETWEEN YANKEE CARPET BAGGERS AND THE CONFEDERATE FLAG ??
It looks kinda suspicious, I mean, I am not a forensics expert, or crime fighter, nor mind reader, but I can smell a Damn Yankee. It is interesting to see in most of the recent places in Virginia where the Morons, Liberals, Political Correct assholes, quite a lot of the players seem to also be Yankee Carpet baggers. Not all, but a lot. Coincidence, not hardly. Yes the old DNA is there, these stiff necked, hardheaded, loud, myserable first class, third class people move their stinking asses South.
They come here, smile and tell us how much they so love the South, and worm their slimery selves into employment, take over Southern institutions like rats take over a package of cheese, and begin to change it all to make it like the Hell Hole Northern cesspool they slid down from.
They have injected their poison in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Va., and co-joined with other slime covered liberals and some other darker skinned friends to remove the great Confederate flag from the Confederate Memorial Chapel there.

SC governor defends Confederate flag at Statehouse: Not ‘a single CEO’ has complained
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) on Tuesday said that there was no need to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse grounds because it was not an issue for CEOs, and the state had “fixed” racist perceptions by electing an Indian-American governor.
During a South Carolina gubernatorial debate, Democratic candidate Sen. Vincent Sheheen called on the flag to be retired to a museum.
“I think the people of South Carolina are tired of having an image across America that’s not truly who we are,” Sheheen explained, adding that everyone should “rally together under a flag that unites us all, the American flag, that looks toward the future, and not the past.”
Haley responded that the Confederate flag was a “sensitive issue.”
“What I can tell you is over the last three and a half years, I spent a lot of my days on the phones with CEOs and recruiting jobs to this state,” the governor noted. “I can honestly say I have not had one conversation with a single CEO about the Confederate flag.”

U.S. Humanitarian Aid Going to ISIS
Not only are foodstuffs, medical
supplies—even clinics—going to ISIS, the distribution networks are
paying ISIS ‘taxes’ and putting ISIS people on their payrolls.
The aid—mainly food and medical equipment—is meant for Syrians displaced from their hometowns, and for hungry civilians. It is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, European donors, and the United Nations. Whether it continues is now the subject of anguished debate among officials in Washington and European. The fear is that stopping aid would hurt innocent civilians and would be used for propaganda purposes by the militants, who would likely blame the West for added hardship.

Bachmann under 24/7 guard after ISIS threat: False report from Politico could paint larger target on lawmaker
The danger posed by ISIS to Americans has come to the homeland for Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and a national publication may be making the ominous threat even worse.
Politico has reported federal officials are taking an online threat to the congresswoman so seriously she in now under 24-hour protection by a security detail.
However, Politico may be adding fuel to the fire by incorrectly reporting that the congresswoman had called on President Obama to declare war on Islam.

Turkey to allow Kurdish peshmerga across its territory to fight in Kobani
Dramatic shift in the Turkish position due to internal protests on government inaction and support for regional fight against Isis
Turkey will allow Kurdish peshmerga forces from northern Iraq across its territory to defend Kurds in the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani, in a move that fighters say could tip a month-long battle against Islamic State (Isis) insurgents in their favour.
The announcement marked an abrupt shift from Ankara’s position of refusing to militarily help the Kurds of Kobani and came hours after the US military dropped 24 tonnes of weapons and medicines in the first supply run it had made to the besieged town in nearly five weeks of fighting.

League of Women Voters Targeting Florida Gun Shops
In a move they say is meant to make the world a safer place, the League of Women Voters (LOWV)
has begun visiting gun shops throughout the state of Florida in hopes of finding violations of a Florida statute requiring retail gun sellers to post signs “at each purchase counter,” which reads like so:
IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE OR LEAVE A FIREARM IN ANY PLACE WITHIN THE REACH OR EASY ACCESS OF A MINOR UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE OR TO KNOWINGLY SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OR POSSESSION OF A FIREARM TO A MINOR OR A PERSON OF UNSOUND MIND.

Anti-Gunner “Outs” (aka Harasses) Legal Concealed Carrier by Putting Up Sign
Matthew Halleck wanted to protect his two daughters in every possible way that he can. For him, like millions of other Americans, that means legally carrying a gun everyday.
Halleck even carries a firearm to drop his daughters off at school, however he is careful not violate any state laws in the process.
Now, for anyone who freaks out about the 1,000 foot federal “gun free zone” around schools, that federal law exempts people who hold a carry permit (see Exceptions to the Gun-Free School Zones Act).

Empire State Slavocracy
Slave being burned at the stake in N.Y.C. after the 1741 slave insurrection.
New
York’s experience as a slave State is little discussed as is New
England’s role in the infamous slave trade. From the very beginning the
Puritans solved their labor shortage by enslaving Indians – in 1645
Emanuel Downing, John Winthrop’s brother-in-law, hoped that slaves could
be supplied because the colony would never thrive “until we get . . . a
stock of slaves sufficient to do all our business.” Highly recommended
for further reading on this topic is Leon F. Litwack’s “North of
Slavery,” University of Chicago Press, 1961.

North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission

Empire State Slavocracy
“New
York was slow in drawing white settlers until after mid- [eighteenth]
century, and the shortage of labor led to a considerable use of slaves;
indeed it is possible that in the early Dutch days it was slave labor
that enabled the colony to survive.
Most
of the first slaves were not from Africa but were re-imported from
Curacao in the Dutch West Indies. It was a profitable system: in the
1640’s it cost only a little more to buy a slave than to pay a free
worker’s wages for a year.
After
the English took control of New Netherland in 1664, a brisk and highly
profitable trade in skilled slaves was carried on. Most slaveholders in
the province were flourishing small farmers or small artisans who, in
the absence of an adequate supply of free labor, needed moderately
skilled help, and were able to pay the rising prices for slaves.
A
partial census of 1755 showed . . . most owners having only one or two
slaves, only seven New Yorkers owning ten or more. Among the largest
lots held were those of elder Lewis Morris with 66 slaves on his large
estate and the first Frederick Philipse, an affluent landowner, with
about 40.
William Smith . . . was reputed to keep a domestic staff of
12 or more to run his New York City household, and other citizens
travelled with Negro footmen.
From
the first the competition of black labor was resented by the whites.
Competition in the labor market was intensified by the slave owners’
widespread practice of putting out their slaves for hire, under-cutting
white laborers who were paid twice the slaves’ wages.
Miscegenation,
which began in New York under the Dutch, yielded such a number of
persons of mixed blood in the colony that by the end of the seventeenth
century slave status had to be defined not by color but by the status of
the mother. Some light-colored runaways won freedom by passing into
the white population . . . Yet even under the relatively open system of
slavery that prevailed, family structure was weak and there were a large
number of broken and female-headed families.
The
New York slave, suspended in an awkward equipoise between complete
bondage and half-freedom, was often restive. After 1702, flogging was
prescribed if three slaves gathered together on their own time. They
were not permitted to gamble or to buy liquor . . . nor could they
engage in trade without their masters’ consent.
Fires
were a frightening problem in the eighteenth-century towns and blacks
were commonly suspected of arson . . . [and the] penalty for committing
arson was death. The killing of a white person by a black was punished
by torture followed by execution, a sentence that courts did not
hesitate to impose.”

Obama Administration Quietly Prepares 'Surge' Of Millions Of New Immigrant IDs

Despite no official action from the president ahead of the election, the Obama administration has quietly begun preparing to issue millions of work authorization permits, suggesting the implementation of a large-scale executive amnesty may have already begun.
Unnoticed until now, a draft solicitation for bids issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Oct. 6 says potential vendors must be capable of handling a “surge” scenario of 9 million id cards in one year “to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements.
