Solis Sharpton Jackson DOL Poster

President Barack Obama’s labor secretary, Hilda Solis, has authorized new posters in elevators throughout the Department of Labor’s Washington, D.C. headquarters building. The posters feature a photo of her marching in protest alongside the Rev. Jesse Jackson and MSNBC television host Rev. Al Sharpton, among others.

The photo depicts Solis acting as an emissary of the Obama administration protesting against Alabama’s strict new law combating illegal immigration. Solis has her arms locked with Sharpton, and Jackson is a few feet away. The poster also carries a message for federal government employees — who are traditionally expected to be apolitical in the performance of their duties.

“Whether we take to the streets or simply do our work with integrity and commitment here at the U.S. Department of Labor,” the poster reads, above Solis’ signature, “We are all marching toward the same goals: safer workplaces, fair pay, dignity on the job, secure retirement and opportunities to make a better life. I believe in the power of collective action.”

A Labor Department spokeswoman did not respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment on whether Solis is encouraging federal workers to use their positions to promote a political agenda. Even so, an official sign describing the posters’ purpose indicates that may be the case.

MEDIA LIARS – A Communist Agenda?

We are watching you media people. You are liars.

Why did ABC News declaratively say the Trayvon police video of Zimmerman showed no “blood or bruises” and now they’ve suddenly found that by “enhancing” their video a bloody gash appears on Zimmerman’s head?

Why did NBC edit the tape to make Zimmerman sound as though he was racially profiling Martin by editing out the 911 operator asking him for the race?

Why did they show a photo of Trayvon at age 12? Why did they omit his vulgar tweets, facebook photo, suspensions, stolen jewelry, and the robbery tool in his backpack?

Why did the New York Times front-page article on the Trayvon Martin case repeat NBC’s attempt to cast George Zimmerman as a racist by selectively editing his 911 call?

Sheriff Joe expands Obama probe to Hillary supporters

Based on interviews WND conducted with insiders in Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has decided to expand the scope of his law enforcement investigation into President Obama’s eligibility to include evidence and affidavits documenting alleged criminal activity by the Obama campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party primary race.

Hollywood film producer Bettina Viviano and Hollywood-based digital photographer Michele Thomas have given Arpaio’s investigators the names of dozens of Hillary Clinton supporters willing to come forward with evidence and affidavits. Among their claims is that the Clintons were the first to charge Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution and that his birth certificate is a forgery.

Moreover, the Hillary supporters identified by Viviano and Thomas have argued that the pattern of questionable and possibly illegal activity suggests that the alleged act of producing forged birth certificate documentation for Obama may have been merely more of the same.

As WND reported, Viviano claims she heard Bill Clinton say that Obama is not eligible to be president.

Barack Obama, Constitutional Ignoramus

Via WRSA

I’m grateful for the favor Obama did for us yesterday of exposing his extreme constitutional ignorance, with his comments on how it would be “unprecedented” for the Court to strike down a law passed by a “strong majority” in Congress. (As if a House margin of seven votes is a “strong” majority.) True, he walked back the comment today, but surely because his statement was not merely indefensible but outright embarrassing to his media defenders.

I’ve been growing weary of hearing people mention that he’s a “constitutional scholar,” since he never published a single thing on the subject either as editor of the Harvard Law Review or as a member of the faculty at the University of Chicago Law School. But hey—he taught constitutional law, didn’t he?

Not really.

New Estimate Raises Civil War (sic) Death Toll

Intellectuals - The verifiable facts of history had long ago ceased to be relevant to the progressives' act of faith. Their loyalty is to something other than the truth.

For 110 years, the numbers stood as gospel: 618,222 men died in the Civil War, 360,222 from the North and 258,000 from the South — by far the greatest toll of any war in American history.

But new research shows that the numbers were far too low.

By combing through newly digitized census data from the 19th century, J. David Hacker, a demographic historian from Binghamton University in New York, has recalculated the death toll and increased it by more than 20 percent — to 750,000.(+ 50K Southern civilians)

Collapse

Sometimes decline is merely decline, bad enough, and we're capable of more with good will and effort. But collapse takes no effort, it's a default by nature. Those entrusted with the well being of the people are willingly and knowingly using decline as a honey pot, their personal or ideological fortune growing with each kick of the can. True collapse is discounted as nihilist ravings or the daydream of anarchists and Gaia romanticists, an unserious topic other than for Hollywood or doomer novelists. Perhaps they believe this. Perhaps they only prefer we believe this. We know collapse comes wrapped in decline yet they keep peeling back the layers, their audience applauding each time disaster doesn't jump out of the box. It's a good crowd to stay away from.

*********

Collapse is an overused word, a telescoping of events better described as a decline. The buggy industry didn't "collapse" when the first automobile dealership appeared—Studebaker made both, nor did the vacuum tube disappear the day the first transistor was manufactured. The Roman and Byzantine empires didn't collapse, they were transformed in a surprisingly orderly, if not voluntary, manner over a long period of time. No, they weren't mere reorganizations or downsizing, and yes there were catastrophic events within those episodes, but a critical observer of the time would would rightly understand them to be something other than collapse.

It's a mistake to telescope events, future or past. Nobody rang a bell in 1929 and announced, "Your attention please. This is the beginning of the Great Depression. Gather your shipping crates and stake out your places under a bridge before all the good places are taken." The decline took three years, each one worse than the last. But it also included the biggest market rallies ever, although the market didn't regain the level of 1929 until the early 1950s. Parts and pieces did collapse, but it was not a general collapse. It was a sharp, enduring but reversible decline. Social and governmental stratification actually increased in the interim. The modern middle class arose in those years. And it was an innovative and rather stylish era besides—compare a 1929 radio with a 1939 radio, or airliner, or movie, or automobile, or commercial building.

A true collapse is the sudden and catastrophic decentralization of everything all at once. Civil authority, either unwilling or unable to solve basic problems, forfeits the loyalty of all and retreats in disorder. Social stratification disappears—there are no privileges to be had. Interconnected commerce and communication as we have known them cease to be and regional autocrats compete for the pieces. With decentralization, depopulation and subsistence living, truly local economies arise similar to that of early Medieval times. In the main, the resilient and resourceful survive. An extinction-level meritocracy has no place for useless expertise. There are examples of such collapse, but none on the scale being contemplated by serious and respected analysts.

Now for the bad news.
