Happy New Year to all of you!

On secession:
Fox News – ‘Spurred by disaffection with urban culture, federal control and the increased state regulation pressed by the Sacramento government seated to the south, a growing number of northern Californians are pushing for secession from their state. ….”We are staking our futures on our ability to live and thrive in this area,” Kayla Nicole Brown, a 23-year-old from Redding who is now a leader in Shasta County’s secession movement, told The Times. “And if we can’t, we have to leave.” ….The Times reports majority votes in both the state Legislature and the U.S. Congress are required for secession to actually occur…’

This post is more of a question to our American readers, what is this secession business all about? I’ve heard of it on and off in the past but I don’t understand it very well and it doesn’t seem to be gaining much traction.

Read this Daniel Greenfield article, and–like me–you may decide the answer is very likely “yes”.
‘…It was recently observed that Ron Paul was to the left of Obama on national security and the best evidence for that statement can be found when one year ago Ron Paul joined forces with Barney Frank on a proposal to gut national defense via a panel of experts, quite a few of whom were tied to George Soros…..’
And then it gets very, very interesting…

‘..Gowdy embarasses the stammering witness with one simple question: If the president can ignore provisions of immigration law, marijuana law, mandatory minimum sentencing law, and the “Affordable Care Act,” then what prevents the president from ignoring election laws?     (bold mine)
The witness Simon Lazarus was unable to satisfactorily answer Gowdy’s pointed question, so he turned to nationally recognized scholar Jonathan Turley. He was “not sure” what the Congressional remedy was for the president’s failure and refusal to enforce duly passed laws. Professor Turley then called the escalating problem, “The most serious Constitutional crisis, I view, in my lifetime.”..’

Because she’s right on the money:
‘Our society is neutering boys of their maleness at a young age, while the lack of people with military experience in important positions is a recipe for disaster, claims Camille Paglia, the controversial lesbian author and social critic.
Self-described ‘dissident feminist’ Paglia, 66, believes that attempts to deny the biological distinctions between men and women is to blame for the much that is wrong with modern society.
‘What you’re seeing is how a civilization commits suicide’ she told the Wall Street Journal…’

George Brandis, Australia’s Federal Attorney-General:
“Human rights are not something given to us by governments, let alone by international organisations or by judges. And while the modern jurisprudence of human rights may owe its origin to the 1948 declaration, the declaration is not the source of those rights. Almost two centuries earlier, the founders of the American republic understood better than a whole faculty of human rights lawyers when they wrote the greatest sentence written in English to capture the spirit of the Enlightenment: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

and be disgusted by the rank media dishonesty
UPDATE:  Jo Nova on the media cover-up..the scientists are now merely “tourists”!
“..A month ago the mission of the $1.5m expedition was “to answer questions about climate change”. Now the ABC describes the Australasian expedition as “a Russian ship stuck in sea ice in Antarctica.”

‘Duck Hunt: Grassroots Fought and Won While Establishment Stayed on Sidelines
Palin, Jindal, and Cruz’s support was in contrast to the silence of the Republican establishment, its leadership, and the Republican National Committee. The latter focused instead on Kwanzaa and promoting amnesty, which the Congressional Budget Office determined would lower the wages of working class Americans, many of whom make up the bulk of the Duck Dynasty audience..’
America is not going to be fixed by voting for these scumbags. ‘Primary The Bastards’ would make a good bumper sticker–and tactic.

 The ‘bastards’ in this instance are the slimy MSM.
The “knockout game”, played by black youths against whites, Asians and Jews has been ignored, suppressed, buried by the media. Not one of the blacks has been charged with a “hate crime” as far as I know.
A white guy gets arrested for thuggery and charged with a hate crime, and suddenly that’s headline news. And it’s a “new low”, apparently, Black yoofs doing the same to elderly people,Jews and Asians somehow isn’t as low…News.com.au sees fit to run it as a banner headline. It’s safe, you see, since the perp is white.They won’t be accused of racism by the usual suspects.
