Middle America's Worldview

Texas has grown tired of waiting on the incompetent federal government’s reluctance to do anything against the illegal immigration, human trafficking, and drug smuggling. Taking matters in their own hands, Texas officials brought a screeching halt along the Rio Grande section of the US/Mexican border. Essentially, F the Feds. Finally Texas takes matters in their own hands and closes its own borders.

“In the Rio Grande Valley sector, nearly nothing moved in those three weeks,” Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News. “We shut it down. We had teams of Texas law enforcement in the brush, high-altitude aircraft, gun boats and more. Our intel revealed that the Gulf cartel was growing frustrated with our three-week effort.”

Times are tough. But is it so hard to prostitute 3 year olds for money? In a sickening news report, a Gary, Indiana woman admitted she sold a baby eight times to a Gary man for sex, and was in the same room for all these time, with exception of one. The 25 year old pleaded guilty to one count of selling a child for sex, and two counts of allowing a child to take part in child pornography. The Story

Anyone recall who won at the Grammy’s? I didn’t think so. The news is about the gay push, as 34 couples, straight and gay, were married on stage during the Grammys. Queen Latifah was recently deputized by Los Angeles County to legally conduct wedding ceremonies. She will be signing the certificates for each couple.

The event took place on a stage, resembling a giant chapel. Hip-Hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis sang their hit tune “Same Love”. The song is known to be embraced by the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual) community.

While it may resemble a church, the song lyrics and actions speak otherwise. Macklemore rapped, "Playing God, aw nah here we go/America the brave still fears what we don't know/And God loves all his children, is somehow forgotten/But we paraphrase a book written 3500 years ago."

Paraphrase a book written 3500 years ago? Perhaps he should read the book.

Beginning this fall, two blimps will be flying at 10,000 feet over the Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. This will be an attempt to develop a defense for the nation’s capital. The Pentagon reported a gap in the defenses of Washington D.C., cruise missiles being fired from ships offshore.

"As it stands today, we have practically zero capability to detect it, much less defend against it," one military officer said of the cruise missile threat.

On rare occasions, I am able to burn through a book. Normally these times are during my required traveling. Thanks to the 3.5 hour flight from Dallas to Philadelphia, and layovers, accompanied with secluded nights in a hotel room by myself. This trip, I am reading the book “Wheat Belly”, by William Davis.

The book is a fascinating one, to say the least. The message is the danger of modern day wheat with human consumption. The external danger of being obese, foggy mentality, and an irrational addiction to bread. The internal danger of increased glucose, increase gastro disorder, increase issues of schizophrenia , ADHD, and autism are also covered.

Each of these issues is backed up by expert reports, scientific studies, and results from accepted experiments.

Davis provides a good history of the difference from our ancestral wheat in comparison to the current hybrid, genetic modified wheat. Amazingly, just like the ingestion of fluoride, research was missed with proper human consumption of the hybridized wheat. The mentality of wheat is wheat, regardless of how we genetically slice and dice it, should be no issue. Yet Davis provides results, studies, and observational facts to prove otherwise. A comparison of the GI (glycemic index) shows two slices of bread provides more sugar than a bar of candy.

Comparing the GI;

• White bread – 69 • Whole grain bread – 72 • Shredded Wheat cereal – 67 • Table sugar – 59 • Mars Bar (candy bar) – 68 • Snickers (candy bar) – 41 Note the bread is substantially more than dipping your spoon in plain sugar. This observation provides insight of why many of our American citizens are fatter than 40 years ago. Additionally, consider the spiked increase of sugar for those with issues of diabetes.

Look at your grocery store and identify all the products that consist of bread (gluten). We are inundated with the product.

While modern day bread is not the only variable consisting of our obese nature, I never realized how much of a part it does play.

Davis also provides studies showing the breakdown of gluten in the body is converted to polypeptides. Scientist took these polypeptides, and found a peculiar ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. These polypeptides would enter the brain and attach themselves to the morphine receptor.

This chemical acted the same way your opiate drugs react to the brain. The polypeptides were termed “exorphines”, short for exogenous morphine-like compounds. This provided the reason for wheat addiction, and psychological effect to the humans ingesting the current wheat.

Amazingly, when the drug naloxone was administered the polypeptides were blocked. This same naloxone drug is used to administer heroin addicts, when entering the emergency rooms. The same drug that kills a high with opiate drugs, also kills the polypeptides, introduced by wheat.

I would suggest all to read the book themselves and perform your own observations. As for me, I am formally going to stop eating bread.

I have a son that is gluten intolerant and I personally have seen the effects when he consumes bread. I am now going to see what the effects of removing bread from my diet will bring.

CBS News released news of a possible rising danger of gang members in the military could share their skills with gangs on the streets. This concern has also been raised by FBI. A recent report shows the FBI warning: "Military training could ultimately result in more sophisticated and deadly gangs ... as well deadly assaults on law enforcement officers.”

Military police have briefed local authorities in major cities, including New York, on the concern gang members entering the military and later teach their gangs military tactics. These military tactics would include combat, logistics, and emergency medical skills. Read More:

Prior revelations of NSA, pulling massive amounts of surveillance on foreign and domestic caused repercussions for the Obama Administrations. The issue has forced President Obama to make a statement on the surveillance on foreign leaders. Additional revelations are now stating NSA had and used the ability to spy on computers not even connected to the internet.

The 100,000 machines were fitted with small devices, emitting radio waves, allowing NSA to pull data without the requirement of being connected to the internet. Targets included Russian military networks, Mexican police, trade institutions within the European Union, Saudi Arabia, and Chinese military as well as drug cartels.

Obamacare is the signature healthcare plan of the President- but it is in conflict with another federal law.

Do you have the freedom not to participate in Obamacare? Title 42, page 8160 states “Freedom not to participate in Federal insurance programs.” According to this section, 42 U.S.C. 18115, it states (in part) within the public law, no individual, company, business shall be required to participate in any Federal health insurance program.” If this is the case, it negates Obamacare’s fines for not having insurance.

The Justice Department worked late last night to block the plaintiffs, from obtaining more details about how the National Security Agency’s (NSA) surveillance effort operates. This halts the current most successful legal challenges to the NSA.

The motion was filed with U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon The request was to halt further proceedings, while appeals go forward in two lawsuits brought by conservative legal activist Larry Klayman. 

This comes on the heel, when a federal judge ruled the NSA program collecting information on nearly all telephone companies to, from, within the United States is likely unconstitutional. “U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon found that the program appears to violate the Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable searches and seizures.

Many enjoy the turn-by-turn directions provided by their car. Navigation systems are installed in millions of new cars. The big three are Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler -- as well as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. While these provide assistance, reports have revealed the data kept, cannot be erased by the car’s owner. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) provided a report examining the big three car companies, finds their policies are different in reference to navigational systems. One item remains consistent. Each do not allow the customer to delete the retained data of their location, duration, or history of movement, among other data.

Edward Snowden leaks state the NSA still has "a huge number of very significant stories to reveal," including those relating to Israel. Glenn Greenwald, the investigative journalist who first published Edward Snowden leaks tells all, more stories are forthcoming. "There definitely are stories left that involve the Middle East, that involve Israel. The reporting is going to continue at roughly the same pace that has been happening," the former Guardian journalist said in an interview with Channel 10 television station that aired Monday night.

Restaurant servers will lose their 18% gratuity tip from large groups, as of January 1, 2014. A change in tax policy will prevent restaurant workers from collection automatic gratuities. The 18% added gratuity on a group 8 or more will be automatically included in their payroll. This causes the worker to wait up to two weeks for that tip, as well as paying additional taxes on it. It also means minimum wage workers will get less money, while the federal government gets more. Read More

No less than 11 attorney generals from the GOP state the Obama administration is breaking the law by repeatedly making changes to Obamacare without going through Congress. The use of President Obama’s executive action is an over-reach of his powers. The attorneys general criticizes Obama, using executive action allowing insurance companies to keep offering health plans, that have been canceled for not meeting Obamacare’s more strict standards

.

The issue

 “We support allowing citizens to keep their health insurance coverage, but the only way to fix this problem-ridden law is to enact changes lawfully: through Congressional action,” the attorneys general wrote in a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “The illegal actions by this administration must stop.” This healthcare fix is “flatly illegal under federal constitutional and statutory law”, they say. The seven-page letter says the President is violating both his responsibility to execute laws faithfully and the separation of powers between the branches of government.

  The Group

 The 11 attorney generals signing the letter included the states Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey wrote the letter . Officials point to the 1985 Heckler vs Chaney case. The Supreme Court concluded some enforcement actions of laws might be subject to judicial review first. “We are deeply concerned that this Administration is consistently rewriting new rules and effectively inventing statutory provisions to operationalize a flawed law,” the attorneys general wrote. “And the irony, of course, is that the changes being put forth to fix the disastrous exchanges will ultimately destroy the market and increase health insurance premiums for customers who played by the rules.”

  Other issues

 HHS continues to “ignore the widespread public outcry over the security of consumers’ private information” on exchanges,” they wrote, adding that they’re concerned about the administration’s decision to “not propose and implement rigorous privacy standards for outreach personnel.” “Each of us is charged with protecting our states’ consumers,” Morrisey said. “Once a person’s private information is breached, it is very hard to ensure it is secure again. We are troubled that the Administration has not even proposed implementing criminal background checks on people who have access to sensitive private information.”

Summary

 The letter was written December 26, 2013 to HHS Kathleen Sebelius to convey concerns of illegality. The seven page letter provides the concerns, citing specific laws and regulations being broken by the Obama Administration. The “fix” placed by the Obama Administration breaks the constitutional law, while also creating a new statutory obligation or new rule. In essence, Obama is attempting to create new laws, without Congress approval, while breaking existing laws already in place. The letter then proposes commonsense safeguards on “ways to ensure protection for information”.
