Has the U.S. Treasury Already Exceeded the Debt Limit?

U.S. federal debt has been stuck at $16,699,396,000,000.00 for 68 straight days, according to the Daily Treasury Statement on July 24. That amount is exactly $25 million less than the legal borrowing limit of $16,699,421,000,000.00 set on May 17, 2013. But that’s only part of the story. A digger deep at the numbers actually shows the U.S. Treasury has already blown past the federal legal borrowing limit! And the mainstream media, as usual, is out to lunch. The table below shows how “Total Public Debt Outstanding” is already $38.82 million above the statuary debt ceiling and now at $16,738,106,000,000.00.The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries (^TNX) has surged 51% over the past ...

Rand Paul slams Obama’s plans for military involvement in Syria

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) had harsh words this week for the White House with regards to the Obama administration’s consistent inching towards a war in Syria. Lawmakers in the United States continue to debate what role the US should take in the increasingly bloody Syrian civil war, but Sen. Paul said during a speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention on Monday that President Barack Obama is asking for the American military to open up a front without waiting for congressional approval. “Even if you believe we should arm Islamic fighters in Syria, shouldn't, at the very least, Congress vote on the matter?” Paul asked of the crowd. “The ...

He works at one of the three-letter intelligence agencies and oversees construction of a $1.2 billion surveillance data center in Utah that is 15 times the size of MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Giants and Jets. Long Island native Harvey Davis, a top National Security Agency official, needs that commanding presence. His role is to supervise infrastructure construction worldwide for NSA, which is part of the Defense Department. That involves tending to logistics, military installations, as well as power, space and cooling for all NSA data centers. In May, crews broke ground on a $792 million computing center at the agency’s headquarters near Baltimore that will complement the ...
Antiwar.com Under Surveillance

Irreverent and unyielding in its opposition to U.S. foreign policy, Antiwar.com has been called many things. But that Washington might consider the 17-year-old news and opinion website a threat to national security should be cause for alarm—especially today. The Obama administration has come under scrutiny this summer following revelations that it’s been snooping on journalists in connection with the unprecedented number of federal leak prosecutions in recent years. Meanwhile, thanks to revelations by Edward Snowden, the American public now knows the government has more access than ever to our Internet browsing habits, e-mails, Facebook accounts, and phone and Skype records.

14th Amendment Citizenship "[T]he provision is, that 'all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.' That means 'subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof.' What do we mean by 'complete jurisdiction thereof?' Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means." Not my words. Those are the words of Senator Trumbull, one of two Senators that drafted the 14th. Here's some further explanations by Senators Trumbull and Howard: "The first amendment is to section one, declaring that all "persons born in the United States and Subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United ...
U.N. treaty aims to disarm U.S. citizens

The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty follows a State Department plan that has been identified as a flagrant threat to the Second Amendment and which Barack Obama is determined to sign. The 1961 State Department memorandum explains how the United Nations will oversee the complete disarmament of the American people under the ruse of preventing war (U.S. Department of State Department of State Publication 7277 Disarmament Series 5 released September 1961). The problem with this thinking is that the U.S. citizens who own firearms are not the ones who continually start wars around the globe. This U.N. Arms Treaty has caused so much controversy because it outlines a plan to target all types of ...
GOP allows NSA, Syria debate

A long-delayed Pentagon appropriations bill is heading to the floor after the House Rules Committee voted Monday night to allow a structured debate including amendments related to NSA surveillance at home and the flow of military aid overseas in the Mideast. Altogether, 100 amendments are promised consideration, but those affecting the NSA — funded in the bill — and military aid to anti-government forces in Syria are clearly the most sensitive politically for the Republican leadership. Indeed, conservatives led by Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) had threatened to defeat the rule if votes were not permitted on a bipartisan proposal to narrow the ability of the NSA to collect private ...
Is Obama Poised To Create Stop-and-Frisk Nation?

Earlier this week, President Barack Obama endorsed New York City police commissioner, and stop-and-frisk cheerleader, Ray Kelly as an adequate replacement for Janet Napolitano as head of the Department of Homeland Security. Under Kelly, the New York Police Department’s policy on randomly stopping people in the streets and then questioning and patting them down for weapons and drugs, imposed a stiff burden on black and Latino residents. According to the ACLU in New York, between 2002 and 2011, black and Latino New Yorkers made up close to 90 percent of those stopped by police — 88 percent of whom had no weapons or drugs on them when it happened. Kelly has staunchly defended the ...

After a fight that attracted national attention, Texas Gov. Rick Perry Thursday signed an abortion law that is widely expected to result in the closing of numerous abortion clinics in the state and greatly reduce the number of late-term abortions.The new law “builds upon our commitment to protecting life in the state of Texas,” Mr. Perry said at the signing ceremony in Austin, which was attended by some 100 state lawmakers.Pro-life groups cheered the law, which was passed in a special legislative session after Democrat state Sen. Wendy Davis filibustered an earlier attempt to pass the bill in a performance that became an Internet sensation. Texas is the largest of a group of ...
Trial to Open on Lawfulness of Pa. Voter ID Law

A trial set to begin Monday on the constitutionality of Pennsylvania's voter identification law represents a major step toward a judicial ruling on whether the photo requirement should be enforced at polling places statewide or thrown out as unconstitutional. Nine days are set aside for the trial in Harrisburg in Commonwealth Court. Civil libertarians challenging the law and state officials defending it say they expect the state Supreme Court will ultimately decide the case. At issue is a voter ID law that would be one of the strictest in the nation if it is upheld but has never been enforced. After legal jousting that reached the state Supreme Court, Judge Robert Simpson blocked ...

Justin Amash recently went on the Stossel Show on FOX Business News to remind us that the NSA spy gate violates our Fourth Amendment. “The reason the Founders believed it was wrong was because we didn’t want the government collecting this kind of information,” Amash said. “They put the Constitution in place to prevent the government from injecting itself into our personal affairs.”

Which is more dangerous to personal liberty in a free society: a renegade who tells an inconvenient truth about government law-breaking, or government officials who lie about what the renegade revealed? That’s the core issue in the great public debate this summer, as Americans come to the realization that their government has concocted a system of laws violative of the natural law, profoundly repugnant to the Constitution and shrouded in secrecy. The liberty of which I write is the right to privacy: the right to be left alone. The Framers jealously and zealously guarded this right by imposing upon government agents intentionally onerous burdens before letting them invade it. They did ...

It is Force. And since force and coercion necessarily infringe on the freedom of any person whenever it is used, the coercive action will always either be morally right or morally wrong. There is no way around this. When it becomes apparent that governments operate using the medium of force, the dilemma immediately becomes very clear: When is it ...

It doesn't say that it's okay to rubber-stamp permission to search everything by everybody for anything they might consider suspicious, in secret. There's absolutely no wiggle room. You clowns who think he's a traitor need to brush up on the definition of the word. If you sell plans for a bomb to the enemy, then yes, that's ...

The Obama regime is the greatest danger to our Constitutional freedoms Americans have ever faced. Let us work our way through how our Constitution will be lost.
Against the wishes of Congress, Secretary of State Kerry has declared that President Obama will sign the United Nations Small Arms Treaty. Kerry stated that it may take ten or twenty years but eventually a Democratic controlled Congress will ratify the treaty. While the SCOTUS in the past has declared that the Constitution is Supreme law of the land, and that treaties may not directly violate the Constitution, a future activist SCOTUS could allow what it considers “reasonable” measures that result in loss of our ...

Where Are the 2nd Amendment Rights for the Mentally Ill and Their Families? Written on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 by Reneta Adamson It seems that every mass shooting has taken place by a democrat who was a liberal who was on medications for a psychosis. Well no one will look at the democrat or liberal aspect so everyone is pointing blame at the mentally ill. How fair is this? Who decides who has a mental illness? In the first DSM (a manual telling what symptoms go with which mental illnesses) the condition of homosexuality was listed as a mental illness. I am sure that a lot of liberals would be upset with that as criteria for a mental illness today. In the current DSM-IV there are a ...

Rand Paul is simply looking for an answer. Can the Obama administration assassinate Americans in their own country without due process? This is a basic issue of civil liberties. In filibustering the nomination of John Brennan to head the Central Intelligence Committee, the Kentucky Senator is taking a historic stand for liberty. The Constitution preserves the right of all Americans to due process. So far President Obama has refused to answer if the Bill of Rights still applies under his new security policy. The question is simple: do we still have our traditional rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Senator Rand Paul’s filibuster is an attempt to answer this vital ...

Photo: US National Guard. It's no secret that the Department of Homeland Security considers returning veterans a threat to the established order. They said as much back in 2009 when they wrote in a reportexposed by Alex Jones and the alternative media: “Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists... DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities.” Following the case of veteran Brandon Raub, who was abducted and held in a psychiatric ward for Facebook posts the government considered subversive, police in Ohio seized a ...

Since his upset victory in 2010, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) has made headlines with his independent views. This week, he will deliver a major address on foreign policy at The Heritage Foundation. In advance of his speech, Jackie Anderson sat down in the Heritage studio with him to discuss his views. He said the U.S. Constitution is the basis of his political philosophy, a lesson he took from his father, former Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), a two-time GOP presidential candidate. Ron and Rand Paul are the only father and son in American history to have held concurrent positions in the House and Senate. “The constitution is important. It’s a living, breathing document, and ...

What is the efficient way to run a railroad or a government, as the case may be? I’m of the minority opinion that presidents should be given more power for less time. Let him—no “her” yet!—put the ideas he campaigned on into play, like a new tax code, and let’s see if it works or fails, quickly. If it doesn’t, then two years later the people who said it would never work get their chance. A watered-down version of an idea isn’t a good indicator of whether it’s a good idea. I read this great book by Daniel Lazare—The Frozen Republic: How the Constitution Is Paralyzing Democracy.The Founders very clearly indicated that they had no idea what ...

The Danger of a ‘We Must Do Something’ GovernmentJanuary 30, 2013 By Jennifer Burke TPNN Contributor The Obama Administration has demonstrated repeatedly the love of the phrase “We must do something.” This phrase has been used to tug at the heartstrings of Americans during our most fragile of times. The cost, however, has been great ranging from an infringement on our God-given rights to a usurpation of our Constitution, to the indebtedness of the people and the financial ruin of our nation. Today, during hearings related to the government’s continued attack on our Second Amendment rights, with testimony on the merits of gun control, we heard those words ‘we ...
