Last week I wrote this :

If the Republican leadership had any brains, they would seize the initiative about shutting down Obama’s dictatorship.

1. Make clear they will not put up with it
2. Make clear that his executive actions are illegal
3. Make clear weeks in advance that they will fully fund DHS, but will not fund Obama’s illegal immigration action
4. Make clear that it is Obama refusing to sign the DHS funding bill, and thus shutting down DHS

And today :

Republican lawmakers leaving a closed-door strategy meeting on Tuesday said the House would seek to pass amendments to the core funding bill to deny money to implement Obama’s November executive order lifting the threat of deportation to millions of undocumented immigrants. Republicans claim the order is illegal.

“Our goal here is to fund the Department of Homeland Security. And our second goal is to stop the president’s executive overreach,” Boehner told reporters.

So far this month, the US is having its 10th coldest January on record, and the coldest since 1982

In 2011, A&M’s Andrew Dessler said Texas would be hot and dry for the rest of the century.

The weather of the 21st century will be very much like the hot and dry weather of 2011. Giving extra credibility to this forecast is the fact that the weather extremes that we are presently experiencing were predicted in the first edition in 1995.

What Not Even the King of England Could Do

A federal researcher points out George III couldn’t suspend laws — as many say Obama just did.

Republicans up for reelection in Democratic-leaning states worry about a political backlash.

One such Republican, Senator Mark Kirk (R., Ill.), told Politico that the House bill “leads us to a potential government shutdown scenario, which is a self-inflicted political wound for Republicans.”

Sessions disagrees. “A constitutional breach of this magnitude demands nothing less than a vigorous, public, disciplined campaign to rally the nation behind a Republican effort to deny the president the funds he would need to carry it out,”

How can any Republican be stupid enough to believe that the 2013 shutdown hurt them?

Any senator who falls for old CNN mind tricks should be run out of office.

Last night I posted graphs showing record January cold in Texas and Maryland. I pulled those posts because I did not generate the underlying data using the correct parameters.

Here are the correct graphs

In 1994, the Albuquerque Police killed a man about twenty yards away from me and my family. They fired in our direction into a car on the other side of I-25.

The Albuquerque police are famous for killing people. Finally, something is being done about it.

The Aurora shooter was a very bright kid, who entered a drug induced alternate reality graduate study program at the University of Colorado. Over a period of a few months, he went completely psychotic, thought he was a cartoon character, and shot dozens of people in a movie theater. The arresting officer believed that he had an accomplice. The boy’s father works for DARPA.

The judge assigned to the case immediately placed a gag order, which has never been lifted.

Nothing to see here, move along.

We need to wrest the country back from the complete morons who are in control
