Depopulation Has Started






What You Don't Know About Protein

What You Don't Know About Protein
 
 
  
Far and away, the most misunderstood nutrient in the world is protein.
There are as many opinions about protein as there are news flashes about the Kardashians -- what the best sources are, how often you should eat it and why it's really important.
And heaven help you if you're a vegetarian! Friends and relatives are expecting you to collapse from a protein deficiency at any moment.
So to clear up any confusion you may have about protein, here's the fact versus the fiction:
Much more than strong muscles
When people think protein, they usually think "strength" or "muscle."  That's true, but that's only the beginning.
Protein also supports the building, repair and maintenance of all your organs, nerves, skin, hair and nails.
Protein forms the basis for your body's enzymes and hormones--which literally control everything about you.  Every single one of your body's processes is the result of enzymes and/or hormones in action.
It also comprises the neurotransmitters in your brain, helping it to communicate with your body, and makes up the antibodies generated by your immune system that protect you from infections, viruses and dangerous substances you ingest.
 

Play with blocks
The building blocks of protein are amino acids and there are 22 of them in Nature.
Eight of them (isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine) are called "essential" because your body can't synthesize them (i.e.: it can't create them from other amino acids). So you must get them in your diet.
Animal foods (meats, eggs and dairy) are called "complete proteins" because they contain all 8 of the essential amino acids.
Many other foods (especially grains, nuts, beans and legumes) also contain amino acids, but they're all lacking at least one of the 8 essential ones, so they're not in and of themselves a "complete protein."
That's why it's important for vegetarians to eat a wide variety of protein foods--that way they ensure they're getting all the essential amino acids.
 

The magic "transformation"
When you eat any source of protein, your body doesn't just break it down into its amino acids and call it a day. A transformation has to take place first in your liver in order for the protein to be usable.
You see, there are many "recipes" for different proteins made up of various combinations of amino acids. What "recipe" your liver decides to concoct on is whatever form of protein your body needs at that time.
The protein needed for your hair, for example, is different than the protein needed to build your biceps.
So when you eat meat, beans or other protein foods, your body goes through a complex series of steps before it can use it:
1- Your stomach begins the initial breakdown of the protein into its amino acids, then the final breakdown is completed in the small intestine.
2- Then the amino acids are absorbed into your bloodstream and transported to your liver.
3- Your liver puts on its "chef's hat" and mixes the right combination of amino acids for whatever your protein needs happen to be.
4- If a protein that you need requires a certain non-essential amino acid that you haven't eaten, the liver can synthesize the needed amino acid from another one that you did eat.
Your body's brilliant, isn't it?
 

So do you need it every day?
People wonder if it's necessary to eat protein every day and the answer to that question is YES.
The reason is simple.
Your body does not store amino acids for the most part -- just a small number of them are stored in your liver for 3-5 days tops.
So if you go several days without protein, your liver won't have the ingredients it needs to construct the protein that you need.
Now, your body's smart and does whatever it can do to get you those needed amino acids...
And that means breaking DOWN your own muscles if necessary!
So clearly it's in your best healthy interest to get some form of protein every day.
 

Get it AND use it
Getting the amino acids you need is only half the formula.
You also need to make sure they're being broken down properly--and that depends on how good your digestion is.
You see, if proteins aren't broken down properly, 2 things can happen:
1- Proteins that aren't broken down as completely as they should be can get absorbed into your bloodstream. When this happens, your immune system goes on alert because it sees those poorly digested proteins as dangerous invaders.
If this happens over and over, eventually your immune system can launch an all-out attack. And voila' -- you've just created a food allergy or sensitivity.
2- Your liver doesn't have the amino acids it needs for its protein recipe...and your health can suffer in countless ways as a result.
 

So to ensure that your body gets the amino acids you need AND use them, it's crucial to have a diet that is easy to digest and features a variety of protein sources.
And that is where the Great Taste No Pain system can be a tremendous help.
Great Taste No Pain not only encourages you to enjoy several delicious sources of protein (including meats, fish, beans, legumes, nuts and whole grains), but it also teaches you the right other foods to eat them with so you have comfortable, thorough digestion...
And can actually USE those precious amino acids!
If you've got a gluten challenge, no worries. Great Taste No Gluten is for you instead.
Check your enzyme action
Now, there's also an enzyme concern too.
You see, if you've had a modern diet for a while and/or have taken antacids for as long as you can remember, chances are excellent you may have diminished your body's enzyme making ability.
And without the adequate enzymes, you have a better chance of scoring a date with George Clooney or Jennifer Aniston than having complete digestion.
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables can help because they have their own enzymes built right in and can help your cause. But for some people with serious enzyme shortages, that may not be enough.

That's when an enzyme supplement like Digestizol Max can be just what you need.

Digestizol Max's blend of 14 plant-derived enzymes and 5 soothing herbs will give your body a welcome boost and help ensure that everything you've eaten is broken down like it should be.
That means better absorption of nutrients and less gas, bloating and heartburn!
 

So now you know the protein facts versus fiction...and can make sure that you get AND use all the protein you need.
Trust Great Taste No Pain, Great Taste No Gluten and if necessary, Digestizol Max to help ensure your body has all the protein (and other nutrients) it needs to help YOU enjoy great health from head to toe.
To your health,

PPS: Melanie taught her gastroenterologist a thing or two!
Dear Sherry,
I just wanted to write a note to say "Thank you so very much."
I have diverticulosis, gastritis, and IC. In the past, I suffered so much with these conditions. I want everyone to know how well your Great Taste ~ No Pain eating plan is.
Just this past week, I was scheduled to see my gastroenterologist. I was going to cancel. I really felt that well from both the eating plan and Super Shield probiotics. I have been taking them for over a year and have also been using Digestizol Max.
I am a huge fan of all of your products.
I went to the appointment anyway, but only to tell them about you and your products. It is an hour & 1/2 drive to the office...each way! But I felt it was SO important to attempt to let others know how much you & your products have helped me.
Guess what? Just so you know--the doctor took notes! And kept asking questions!
I am really hoping that she passes the information on to others who are suffering.
Thank you also for your daily newsletters. They really reinforce "good behavior" in nutrition.
Best Wishes Always...
Melanie

Oklahomans Prepare for New Law That Will Make Guns a Common Sight




New York Times


Oklahomans Prepare for New Law That Will Make Guns a Common Sight

By MANNY FERNANDEZ
Published: October 30, 2012
OKLAHOMA CITY — Bryan Hull will soon strap his Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver to his hip and meet his armed friends at Beverly’s Pancake House here. They have no interest in the cash register. They just want a late-night breakfast.
Nick Oxford for The New York Times
Tom Smith, owner of the Stillwater Armory gun shop, openly carried an Ed Brown 1911 .45 caliber pistol in his store. Oklahoma’s law allowing unconcealed firearms takes effect Thursday.guns.
A new law takes effect on Thursday in Oklahoma — anyone licensed to carry a concealed firearm can choose to carry a weapon out in the open, in a belt or shoulder holster, loaded or unloaded. Five minutes after midnight Thursday, Mr. Hull and his friends — supporters of the Oklahoma Open Carry Association, a gun rights group — will mark the occasion by wearing their unconcealed handguns while dining at Beverly’s, a 24-hour restaurant.
“It’s just a peaceful assembly,” said Mr. Hull, 44, the association’s co-director. “We’re all licensed by the state to carry. We’ve all been trained and vetted. Why wouldn’t somebody want to have that kind of a group do business with them in their establishment?”
In a state with 142,000 men and women licensed to carry concealed weapons, the scene at Beverly’s will most likely become commonplace as Oklahomans take advantage of the law by displaying their handguns while they shop for groceries, eat at restaurants and walk into banks.
Advocates for gun rights said the ability to “open carry” would deter crime and eliminate the risks of a wardrobe mishap, such as when someone carrying a concealed weapon breaks the law by accidentally exposing the firearm. But the new law is a symbolic as well as practical victory. Supporters said there was no better advertisement for the Second Amendment than to have thousands of responsible adults openly carrying their weapons in a highly visible fashion.
“This enhances Oklahomans’ ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights,” said the Republican state senator who wrote Senate Bill 1733, Anthony Sykes. “I think the evidence is clear that gun owners are some of the most responsible people, and they’ve shown that in not just Oklahoma, where we’ve had conceal carry for quite some time and there’s never been an incident, but in these other states as well.”
When the law takes effect, Oklahoma will become the 15th state to allow people to openly carry firearms with a license. Those 15 states include Utah, Iowa, New Jersey and Connecticut. Several other states, including Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada, have even more permissive laws that allow the carrying of unconcealed firearms without a license. All but six states and the District of Columbia allow some form of open carry, said John Pierce, founder of OpenCarry.org.
Though common around the country, these laws in several states have posed legal and logistical problems for municipalities and law enforcement agencies seeking to balance gun owners’ constitutional rights with maintaining order.
Even in Western and Midwestern states where support for gun rights is strong, the laws have often passed after lobbying efforts lasting years, and have led to confusion and debate about where it is appropriate, let alone legal, for people to openly display their handguns.
In Mason City, Iowa, officials debated seeking an ordinance making it illegal to open-carry in city parks after two people displaying their firearms showed up at a children’s playground. To avoid potential litigation, officials decided to not pursue an ordinance. They instead started a marketing campaign last month asking residents to keep their weapons concealed in public parks.
On the East Coast, open-carry laws generate little controversy because several states make it hard for average citizens to acquire the permits necessary to display unconcealed firearms.
Oklahoma is considered a “shall-issue” state, meaning that once a resident meets the legal requirements, officials must issue a license. Others states, including New Jersey and Connecticut, are known as “may-issue” states, meaning that even if a resident satisfies the requirements, officials may or may not issue the license because they have the discretion to consider other factors.
Last year, Iowa expanded its gun rights and switched from a “may-issue” state to a “shall-issue” one, over the objections of the Iowa State Sheriffs and Deputies Association.
In Oklahoma, some police officials, merchants and residents have expressed varying levels of concern and unease with the law. In 2010, a similar bill was vetoed by the governor at the time, Brad Henry, a Democrat, in part based on law enforcement concerns that such a law would make it difficult for officers to sort out the good guys from the bad guys at a crime scene. This year, the bill was signed into law in May by Gov. Mary Fallin, a Republican and a gun owner.
The governor and the bill’s supporters say those who will be openly carrying are law-abiding citizens, all of whom received their concealed-carry license after taking a firearms training course and passing a criminal background check by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. The average age of a license holder is 51.
The new law has illustrated the ways in which the state’s image as a bastion of rugged outdoorsmen and gun-toting cowboys is as much fact as it is fiction.
Beverly’s Pancake House is not exactly located in the Oklahoma prairie, where firearms turn few heads. The diner is in a strip mall off a busy expressway, behind a Starbucks and across the street from a Marriott hotel. Michael Rodriguez, the general manager, said he supported Mr. Hull and his other armed guests, but he planned on asking them Thursday to show their handgun licenses. Downtown, managers at the Bricktown Brewery plan on posting a “no weapons allowed” sign.
“I see our city with an opportunity to continue to be a modern, upscale city,” said Charles Stout, the brewery’s managing partner. “I think we have to be careful of the message we’re sending.”
In recent weeks throughout Oklahoma, there has been a flurry of activity and debate as the date has approached. Businesses and property owners have been figuring out their policies, and law enforcement agencies have been conducting trainings on the law for officers and dispatchers. Police officials in Tulsa, Oklahoma City and other cities said they anticipated receiving an increased number of “man with a gun” calls, but they did not expect widespread problems.
In Stillwater, about 65 miles north of Oklahoma City, the owner of the Stillwater Armory gun shop said the new law has brought about a subtle change in buying habits. Customers with small handguns that are easy to conceal have been buying larger weapons, with longer barrels and with magazines that hold additional rounds, as they prepare to wear their guns unconcealed.
“The old saying within the community is, ‘It’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it,’” said the owner, Tom Smith, 42, who openly carries a Springfield XD-S pistol while in his shop.
The law prohibits concealed or unconcealed firearms in a handful of places, including government buildings, schools and bars. Most businesses, however, must decide on their own how to handle those openly carrying.
People entering one of Bank of Oklahoma’s 85 branches in the state need not leave their weapon in the car. They can bring it inside. Similarly, customers of American Eagle Towing in Oklahoma City will find that they and their holstered handguns are welcome. Mr. Hull is the general manager, and he openly wears a Ruger LC9 pistol while at the office. Last year, he said, a group of would-be robbers whose car had been impounded saw his pistol and quickly left.
“I never saw a weapon,” Mr. Hull said. “I never drew my weapon. There was no need to. My openly carried firearm deterred whatever it was they had in mind, and I’m sure it wasn’t to bring me a thank-you card.”
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: October 30, 2012
An earlier version of the first photo in the story incorrectly identified a firearm as a Springfield XD-S pistol.  It is an Ed Brown 1911 .45 caliber pistol.
A version of this article appeared in print on October 31, 2012, on page A14 of the New York edition with the headline: Oklahomans Prepare for New Law That Will Make Guns a Common Sight.

Americans never give up your guns



 
From Russia, with love...


Americans never give up your guns

12.28.2012 12:15
By Stanislav Mishin
These days, there are few few things to admire about the socialist, bankrupt and culturally degenerating USA, but at least so far, one thing remains: the right to bear arms and use deadly force to defend one's self and possessions.
This will probably come as a total shock to most of my Western readers, but at one point, Russia was one of the most heavily armed societies on earth. This was, of course, when we were free under the Tsar. Weapons, from swords and spears to pistols, rifles and shotguns were everywhere, common items. People carried them concealed, they carried them holstered. Fighting knives were a prominent part of many traditional attires and those little tubes criss crossing on the costumes of Cossacks and various Caucasian peoples? Well those are bullet holders for rifles.
Various armies, such as the Poles, during the Смута (Times of Troubles), or Napoleon, or the Germans even as the Tsarist state collapsed under the weight of WW1 and Wall Street monies, found that holding Russian lands was much much harder than taking them and taking was no easy walk in the park but a blood bath all its own. In holding, one faced an extremely well armed and aggressive population Hell bent on exterminating or driving out the aggressor.
This well armed population was what allowed the various White factions to rise up, no matter how disorganized politically and militarily they were in 1918 and wage a savage civil war against the Reds. It should be noted that many of these armies were armed peasants, villagers, farmers and merchants, protecting their own. If it had not been for Washington's clandestine support of and for the Reds, history would have gone quite differently.
Moscow fell, for example, not from a lack of weapons to defend it, but from the lieing guile of the Reds. Ten thousand Reds took Moscow and were opposed only by some few hundreds of officer cadets and their instructors. Even then the battle was fierce and losses high. However, in the city alone, at that time, lived over 30,000 military officers (both active and retired), all with their own issued weapons and ammunition, plus tens of thousands of other citizens who were armed. The Soviets promised to leave them all alone if they did not intervene. They did not and for that were asked afterwards to come register themselves and their weapons: where they were promptly shot.
Of course being savages, murderers and liars does not mean being stupid and the Reds learned from their Civil War experience. One of the first things they did was to disarm the population. From that point, mass repression, mass arrests, mass deportations, mass murder, mass starvation were all a safe game for the powers that were. The worst they had to fear was a pitchfork in the guts or a knife in the back or the occasional hunting rifle. Not much for soldiers.
To this day, with the Soviet Union now dead 21 years, with a whole generation born and raised to adulthood without the SU, we are still denied our basic and traditional rights to self defense. Why? We are told that everyone would just start shooting each other and crime would be everywhere....but criminals are still armed and still murdering and to often, especially in the far regions, those criminals wear the uniforms of the police. The fact that everyone would start shooting is also laughable when statistics are examined.
While President Putin pushes through reforms, the local authorities, especially in our vast hinterland, do not feel they need to act like they work for the people. They do as they please, a tyrannical class who knows they have absolutely nothing to fear from a relatively unarmed population. This in turn breeds not respect but absolute contempt and often enough, criminal abuse.
For those of us fighting for our traditional rights, the US 2nd Amendment is a rare light in an ever darkening room. Governments will use the excuse of trying to protect the people from maniacs and crime, but are in reality, it is the bureaucrats protecting their power and position. In all cases where guns are banned, gun crime continues and often increases. As for maniacs, be it nuts with cars (NYC, Chapel Hill NC), swords (Japan), knives (China) or home made bombs (everywhere), insane people strike. They throw acid (Pakistan, UK), they throw fire bombs (France), they attack. What is worse, is, that the best way to stop a maniac is not psychology or jail or "talking to them", it is a bullet in the head, that is why they are a maniac, because they are incapable of living in reality or stopping themselves.
The excuse that people will start shooting each other is also plain and silly. So it is our politicians saying that our society is full of incapable adolescents who can never be trusted? Then, please explain how we can trust them or the police, who themselves grew up and came from the same culture?
No it is about power and a total power over the people. There is a lot of desire to bad mouth the Tsar, particularly by the Communists, who claim he was a tyrant, and yet under him we were armed and under the progressives disarmed. Do not be fooled by a belief that progressives, leftists hate guns. Oh, no, they do not. What they hate is guns in the hands of those who are not marching in lock step of their ideology. They hate guns in the hands of those who think for themselves and do not obey without question. They hate guns in those whom they have slated for a barrel to the back of the ear.
So, do not fall for the false promises and do not extinguish the light that is left to allow humanity a measure of self respect.

This president is lying to you about Benghazi MIGHT PUT HIM IN THE KLINK.


This president is lying to you about Benghazi
MIGHT PUT HIM IN THE KLINK.


As many news sites and pundits break down the biggest stories of 2012, one story too big to miss has been resurrected by the website TeaParty.org, a story at least one national pundit believes could send Barack Obama to prison.
The tea-party site posted a Glenn Beck video from October in which the TV and radio host insisted a case for treason could be built against President Obama for his role in the attack of Sept. 11, 2012, in which armed Libyans captured and killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others at an American diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
“This president is lying to you about Benghazi in such spectacular fashion that I believe people will go to prison,” Beck said on the Blaze TV broadcast of his radio show. “This is impeachable; the president might go to prison for this one.”
Beck cited evidence that Ambassador Stevens had been helping arm Arab Spring rebels in Libya and Syria, rebel forces that included al-Qaida operatives and a heavy Muslim Brotherhood influence.
Yet when those same forces turned on the diplomatic mission and overran it, killing Ambassador Stevens, the Obama administration initially suggested it could have been the result instead of mass, popular protests run amuck over a YouTube video critical of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad.
Despite evidence the attacking forces on Sept. 11 were organized and heavily armed, and later evidence the “popular uprisings” were non-existent, the White House was reluctant to attribute the attacks to terrorism.
In the Blaze TV video, Beck proposed a reason for the misinformation from Washington.
“Can you imagine a scandal, if it were to come out, that Obama supplied the terrorists, our enemies, with weapons to attack and kill our own embassy and ambassador?” Beck asked.
“This is why the White House covered, because our ambassador was killed by a guy we were running guns to and we are still running guns today,” Beck said. “Russia Today is verifying that U.S. Stinger missiles are in the hands of the Syrian rebels, the Syrian rebels which are connected to al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood. We also have a report now from the New York Times that we are using the Muslim Brotherhood to arm the rebels in Syria.
“This president is on the wrong side,” Beck concluded. “It is so crystal clear, that at this point you can begin to make a case for treason.”
Video of Beck’s comments can be seen below:

The White House reaction to Benghazi – and the mainstream media’s coverage of it – has been so fraught with misinformation that WND chose the scandal as “The Biggest Lie of 2012.”

37 Statistics Which Show How Four Years Of Obama Have Wrecked The U.S. Economy

37 Statistics Which Show How Four Years Of Obama Have Wrecked The U.S. Economy

January 22, 2013

The mainstream media covered the inauguration of Barack Obama with breathless anticipation on Monday, but should we really be celebrating another four years of Obama? The truth is that the first four years of Obama were an absolute train wreck for the U.S. economy. Over the past four years, the percentage of working age Americans with a job has fallen, median household income has declined by more than $4000, poverty in the U.S. has absolutely exploded and our national debt has ballooned to ridiculous proportions. Of course all of the blame for the nightmarish performance of the economy should not go to Obama alone. Certainly much of what we are experiencing today is the direct result of decades of very foolish decisions by Congress and previous presidential administrations. And of course the Federal Reserve has more influence over the economy than anyone else does. But Barack Obama steadfastly refuses to criticize anything that the Federal Reserve has done and he even nominated Ben Bernanke for another term as Fed Chairman despite his horrific track record of failure, so at a minimum Barack Obama must be considered to be complicit in the Fed’s very foolish policies. Despite what the Obama administration tells us, the U.S. economy has been in decline for a very long time, and that decline has accelerated in many ways over the past four years. Just consider the statistics that I have compiled below.

The following are 37 statistics which show how four years of Obama have wrecked the U.S. economy…
1. During Obama’s first term, the number of Americans on food stamps increased by an average of about 11,000 per day.
2. At the beginning of the Obama era, 32 million Americans were on food stamps. Today, more than 47 million Americans are on food stamps.
3. According to one calculation, the number of Americans on food stamps now exceeds the combined populations of “Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.”
4. The number of Americans receiving money directly from the federal government each month has grown from 94 million in the year 2000 tomore than 128 million today.
5. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 146 million Americans are either “poor” or “low income” at this point.
6. The unemployment rate in the United States is exactly where it was (7.8 percent) when Barack Obama first entered the White House in January 2009.
7. When Barack Obama first entered the White House, 60.6 percent of all working age Americans had a job. Today, only 58.6 percent of all working age Americans have a job.
8. During the first four years of Obama, the number of Americans “not in the labor force” soared by an astounding 8,332,000. That far exceeds any previous four year total.
9. During Obama’s first term, the number of Americans collecting federal disability insurance rose by more than 18 percent.
10. The Obama years have been absolutely devastating for small businesses in America. According to economist Tim Kane, the following is how the number of startup jobs per 1000 Americans breaks down by presidential administration
Bush Sr.: 11.3
Clinton: 11.2
Bush Jr.: 10.8
Obama: 7.8
11. Median household income in America has fallen for four consecutive years. Overall, it has declined by over $4000 during that time span.
12. The economy is not producing nearly enough jobs for the hordes of young people now entering the workforce. Approximately 53 percentof all U.S. college graduates under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed in 2011.
13. According to a report from the National Employment Law Project, 58 percent of the jobs that have been created since the end of the recession have been low paying jobs.
14. Back in 2007, about 28 percent of all working families were considered to be among “the working poor”. Today, that number is up to 32 percent even though our politicians tell us that the economy is supposedly recovering.
15. According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research, only 24.6 percent of all of the jobs in the United States are “good jobs” at this point.
16. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the middle class is taking home a smaller share of the overall income pie than has ever been recorded before.
17. According to the Economic Policy Institute, the United States is losinghalf a million jobs to China every single year.
18. The United States has fallen in the global economic competitiveness rankings compiled by the World Economic Forum for four years in a row.
19. According to the World Bank, U.S. GDP accounted for 31.8 percentof all global economic activity in 2001. That number declined steadily over the course of the next decade and was only at 21.6 percent in 2011.
20. The United States actually has plenty of oil and we should not have to import oil from the Middle East. We need to drill for more oil, but Obama has been very hesitant to do that. Under Bill Clinton, the number of drilling permits approved rose by 58 percent. Under George W. Bush, the number of drilling permits approved rose by 116 percent. Under Barack Obama, the number of drilling permits approved actuallydecreased by 36 percent.
21. When Barack Obama took office, the average price of a gallon of gasoline was $1.84. Today, the average price of a gallon of gasoline is$3.26.
22. Under Barack Obama, the United States has lost more than 300,000 education jobs.
23. For the first time ever, more than a million public school students in the United States are homeless. That number has risen by 57 percent since the 2006-2007 school year.
24. Families that have a head of household under the age of 30 now have a poverty rate of 37 percent.
25. More than three times as many new homes were sold in the United States in 2005 as were sold in 2012.
26. Electricity bills in the United States have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row.
27. Health insurance costs have risen by 29 percent since Barack Obama became president.
28. Today, 77 percent of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck at least part of the time.
29. It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls.
30. The total amount of money that the federal government gives directly to the American people has grown by 32 percent since Barack Obama became president.
31. The Obama administration has been spending money on some of the most insane things imaginable. For example, in 2011 the Obama administration spent $592,527 on a study that sought to figure out once and for all why chimpanzees throw poop.
32. U.S. taxpayers spend more than 20 times as much on the Obamas as British taxpayers spend on the royal family.
33. The U.S. government has run a budget deficit of well over a trillion dollars every single year under Barack Obama.
34. When Barack Obama was first elected, the U.S. debt to GDP ratio was under 70 percent. Today, it is up to 103 percent.
35. During Obama’s first term, the federal government accumulated more debt than it did under the first 42 U.S presidents combined.
36. As I wrote about yesterday, when you break it down the amount of new debt accumulated by the U.S. government during Obama’s first term comes to approximately $50,521 for every single household in the United States. Are you ready to contribute your share?
37. If you started paying off just the new debt that the U.S. has accumulated during the Obama administration at the rate of one dollar per second, it would take more than 184,000 years to pay it off.

But despite all of these numbers, the mainstream media and the left just continue to shower Barack Obama with worship and praise. Newsweek recently heralded Obama’s second term as “The Second Coming“, and at Obama’s pre-inauguration church service Reverand Ronald Braxton openly compared Obama to Moses…
 
At Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, Braxton reportedly crafted his speech around Obama’s personal political slogan: “Forward!”
Obama, said Braxton, was just like Moses facing the Red Sea: “forward is the only option … The people couldn’t turn around. The only thing that they could do was to go forward.” Obama, said Braxton, would have to overcome all obstacles – like opposition from Republicans, presumably, or the bounds of the Constitution. Braxton continued, “Mr. President, stand on the rock,” citing to Moses standing on Mount Horeb as his people camped outside the land of Israel.

But it wasn’t enough to compare Obama with the founder of Judaism and the prophet of the Bible. Braxton added that Obama’s opponents were like the Biblical enemies of Moses, and that Obama would have to enter the battle because “sometimes enemies insist on doing it the hard way.”
 
So what do you think the next four years of Obama will bring?

Allen Stanford’s Ex-CFO James Davis Gets 5-Year Sentence

Former Stanford Financial Group Co. finance chief James M. Davis was sentenced to five years in federal prison for his role in a 20-year, $7-billion international fraud scheme.
U.S. District Judge David Hittner imposed the sentence today at a hearing in federal court in Houston. He also sentenced Davis to three years of post-release probation.
Prosecutors had sought a 10-year term for Davis, 64, who pleaded guilty to felony charges in 2009 and testified against financier R. Allen Stanford. Davis’s attorney asked the judge to cap the sentence at four years, citing his client’s cooperation and early acceptance of responsibility.
“I’m not here telling your honor that Mr. Davis was a saint,” the attorney, David Finn, told Hittner today. “From our first meeting he has been remorseful, contrite and has tried to make amends for the harm he has done.”
Davis was the second-highest ranking member in Stanford’s business empire, which included the Antigua-based Stanford International Bank Ltd. The bank offered certificates of deposit and the Houston-based Stanford Group Co. brokerage sold them. Stanford, who was convicted of lying about what his bank was doing with CD buyers’ money, is serving a 110-year sentence at a U.S. prison in Coleman, Florida.
Davis and Stanford once shared living quarters while they were students at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
“I’m ashamed and I’m embarrassed,” Davis told the judge today. “I’ve perverted what was right and did wrong. I hurt thousands of investors, I betrayed their trust, also that of associates, neighbors and friends, my family and this court and this country. Everything that I was part of, I failed them and I’m sorry.”
Hittner recommended that Davis be sent to a U.S. prison camp near Memphis, Tennessee. Davis must surrender in 60 days.

Schroders employee one of five held in FSA insider probe
An employee at Schroders, the asset management company, was one of five people arrested on Tuesday in connection with an investigation into insider dealing and market abuse.
Schroders said the individual had been suspended with immediate effect.
"The FSA has informed us that the allegations relate entirely to this individual’s personal actions, " the company said in a statement.
"Schroders is not subject to any investigation. There is no indication of any detrimental impact on our clients or financial results."
The company said the person was not a fund manager or analyst.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) reported earlier today that police arrested two men, aged 37 and 62, and three women, aged 39, 51 and 63, and searched four properties in the City of London, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and North Yorkshire as part of an investigation into insider dealing and market abuse.
The regulator said the arrests were not linked to any other ongoing insider dealing investigation.
The FSA has been clamping down on insider trading. It has secured 21 convictions for the offence since 2009.
Insider dealing can carry a jail sentence of up to seven years.
