NJ couple facing fine over bird feeder

  RAMSEY, N.J. (CBSNewYork)  – A Bergen County, N.J., couple has been ordered to appear in court – for the offense of feeding the birds in their own backyard. As CBS 2’s John Slattery reported, the Borough of Ramsey told Annette and Alfred Rockefeller they are not just feeding the birds – they are illegally feeding wildlife. Alfred Rockefeller, 77, comes from the famous bloodline. “Well, the original John D. had a brother. I’m descended from the brother,” he said. “He didn’t have the money, just the name.” And now, his name is on a summons from the borough. The… View Article

Police departments actually sell the guns for profit

                (NaturalNews) It has become trendy in the liberal/progressive world of  anti-Second Amendment advocates to entice gun owners to voluntarily turn in  their weapons via dubious “buyback” programs that ostensibly work to reduce the  number of firearms on city streets. Such programs are operated by police  departments who, presumably, either keep the weapons that are purchased or  destroy them so they don’t wind up in the wrong hands. Little did most Americans  know that some departments are actually selling those buy-back guns to gun  dealers so they can be resold to the general… View Article

‘A War on Coal Is Exactly What’s Needed’

  Daniel P. Schrag, a White House climate adviser and director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment, tells the New York Times “a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.” Later today, President Obama will give a major “climate change” address at Georgetown University. “Everybody is waiting for action,” Schrag tells the paper. “The one thing the president really needs to do now is to begin the process of shutting down the conventional coal plants. Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they’re having a war on coal. On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.” Obama’s… View Article

Obama hit by Snowden setbacks with China, Russia

            WASHINGTON     (AP) — For President Barack Obama, National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden’s globe-trotting evasion of U.S. authorities has dealt a startling setback to efforts to strengthen ties with China and raised the prospect of worsening tensions with Russia. Indeed, Russia’s foreign minister on Tuesday called U.S. demands for Snowden’s extradition “ungrounded and unacceptable.” Relations with both China and Russia have been at the forefront of Obama’s foreign policy agenda this month, underscoring the intertwined interests among these uneasy partners. Obama met just last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of… View Article

Senate Bill Incentivizes Employers To Fire Americans and Hire Amnestied Immigrants

Under the Gang of 8’s backroom immigration deal with Senators Schumer, Corker and Hoeven, formerly illegal immigrants who are amnestied will be eligible to work, but will not be eligible for ObamaCare. Employers who would be required to pay as much as a $3,000 penalty for most employees who receive an ObamaCare healthcare “exchange” subsidy, would not have to pay the penalty if they hire amnestied immigrants. Consequently, employers would have a significant incentive to hire or retain amnestied immigrants, rather than current citizens, including those who have recently achieved citizenship via the current naturalization process. The issue is really… View Article
