Doomsayer Obama told us that the world would end if Republicans didn’t give him all the money he wanted last week. The cliff came, and it was the exact opposite of what Obama predicted.

CARO, MI (WNEM) –

A local third grader who took cupcakes to class in celebration of his 9th birthday was told a topping on those cupcakes was inappropriate.

Last week, Casey Fountain’s third-grade son had a birthday party at his school in Caro. His wife decided to whip up 30 cupcakes for the boy’s classmates. She topped the treats with plastic army guys like the ones countless boys and girls have played with for decades. Fountain says he never thought his innocent act of party planning would lead to controversy.

Fountain says the principal of Schall Elementary School called him personally and told him that dressing the cupcakes with soldiers was, in the principal’s words, “insensitive” considering recent gun-related tragedies. Fountain says the principal was referring to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut.

That didn’t sit too well with Fountain, and he says his frustration prompted him to call TV5.

The green plastic figurines are representations of WWII soldiers, and Fountain said he doesn’t see a comparison to Sandy Hook.

The MWP has disappeared. The Vikings never existed.

Knut Espen Solberg, leader of ‘The Melting Arctic’ project mapping changes in the north, said the remains uncovered in past weeks in west Greenland may also be new evidence that the climate was less chilly about 1,000 years ago than it is today.

Lefties associate a disarmed citizenry with safety and happiness

Assault weapons should only be allowed for military, police and Border Patrol.

History tells us that a massive paramilitary combined with a disarmed citizenry is a recipe for disaster. Even if you trust Obama, there is always the next guy. Our safety net is based on a system of checks and balances, not faith in any individual.

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”

– Thomas Jefferson

” … to disarm the people – that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them.“

– George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 380

“[The Constitution preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation…(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”  

–James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46

Americans are more likely to be killed by a hammer or baseball bat than by a rifle. Americans are 100X more likely to be killed by a car than by a rifle.

These images are the correct association to make with a disarmed citizenry.

Obama has been incapable of making a decision about Keystone for over four years.
