Federal Framework Being Set Up To Arrest Sheriffs

Colorado, and apparently Texas (next) are being targeted with an attempt to set up a federal authority framework that will enable Secret Service agents (not just those guarding the president), and others of the U.S. Secret Service including uniformed division officers, physical security technicians and specialists, and other ‘special officers’, to arrest and remove an elected sheriff for refusing to enforce the law (or anyone breaking the law).

The bills being introduced define law as including any rule, regulation, executive order, court order, statute or constitutional provision.

Why are they doing this? Here’s why…

It would establish federal authority police powers in a State, enabling an enforcement arm reporting directly to the president (Secret Service).

It would enable the president / executive branch to theoretically override the actions and preventative measures that are now being taken by many States throughout the country who are trying to preserve 2nd Amendment gun rights and who are prohibiting the enforcement of unconstitutional law passed by Congress or pushed by executive order.

As some of you may know, a growing list of sheriffs (more than 340 so far) across the country have expressed that they will not enforce a Washington mandate that clearly violates the Second Amendment.

Many State laws to preserve gun rights are gaining momentum. States include Montana, Ohio, Kentucky, Idaho, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Michigan, Utah, and New Mexico.

However, in Colorado, Senate Bill SB-13-013 has evidently just passed, and is now ready to be signed by the governor, giving police powers and arrest authority to the federal/executive branch of government (Secret Service) within the State. In Texas a similar bill has just been introduced in the State legislature.

The president and vice-president Biden have been actively pursuing state legislatures and pushing for passage of the bills. Obama is scheduled to visit Colorado in just a few days. “Colorado is a pawn for the Obama-Biden plan,” and then on to the next… at least those that won’t fall into line.

It is a full court press by the federal government to empower themselves even further by inserting themselves as police authority within the state, to eliminate opposition.

Control mold with white vinegar. Simply treating window ledges and grimy surfaces with vinegar can kill up to 82% of the allergy triggering mold that sneaks into your home.

Buying in bulk carries loads of environmental benefits, from ditching food packaging to directly controlling portion size. Heading to the bulk section also dramatically shrinks the carbon footprint of your meals, as bulk goods require less overall transportation before arriving at the grocery store.

To help shoppers recognize the many benefits of bulk-buying, the Bulk is Green Council is calling on consumers to take the pledge to purchase foods from the bulk aisle once a week during Earth Month.

Bet You'll Love: Everything You Need to Know About Buying in Bulk

If every American took the pledge and opted for bulk, we'd save more than 26 million pounds of packaging waste from landfills in the month of April alone, according to research conducted by the Bulk is Green Council in partnership with Portland State University.

U.S. water infrastructure is in a serious state of disrepair

The U.S. water system is in a state of disrepair, and is deteriorating further every year for lack of money for maintenance and upkeep. The results include an estimated 240,000 water main breaks each year and nearly 14,000 dams -- or one out of every seven dams -- in the United States rated as “high hazard,” meaning that the flush of water from a broken dam would likely kill people.

The Parting Thought- Our government is a crime syndicate

It is folly to expect justice at the hands of the unjust…

For millions of Americans, the land of opportunity has turned into the land of despair. Far too many hardworking, middle-class Americans now barely earn enough to put food on the table ... much less buy a home or send their kids to college. Instead of the limited government envisioned by our forefathers, our government today regulates every aspect of our lives. Meanwhile, they protect and enable giant corporations that violate our trust, destroy our health, and swindle us out of our money.

The Poor Man is characteristically American with a stated intention of ‘sticking up for the underdog’ (the taxpayer), giving aid to those who are getting the worst of it under our current political system. This is a call to arms to those public spirited people who still believe in an America free from the influence of the almighty dollar given to the political elite who no longer represent the citizen.

In our time, the list of Federal agencies is so long that one probably could not memorize it. And it is constantly being added to. The redundancies in missions for these agencies are astounding. For example, how many Federal spy agencies are there? The DEA spies on people, as does the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, etc.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.” --Thomas Jefferson

We no longer have a government for the people and by the people.

For every aspect of our society, for every human activity it seems, there is a Federal agency regulating that activity and therefore making whatever it is we do more complicated and more expensive. Take for example flying. There are numerous Federal fees and taxes associated with air travel. One of the things these taxes do is help fund the TSA. And we’re all aware of the harassment, groping and humiliation which the TSA agents inflict upon air travelers. Doesn’t Thomas Jefferson’s description of government bureaucrats work for the TSA? I think it describes them beautifully. They are indeed “swarms of officers” who “harass our people and eat out their substance.”

It’s time for another declaration of independence. Many of the abuses of 1776 are being repeated today.

We want to restore a system free of chicanery and graft, excessive rules, regulations and nonsensical laws which strangle the growth and prosperity of our nation.
