Secret Service Spill Secrets About Presidents

Some of this will come as no surprise since there have been stories in the past about how Hillary treated Secret Service agents. I don’t think it is a stretch that the other Democrats are like this. They do not like the military or law enforcement. Hell, they spent their youth protesting the “pigs” and the military and Obama’s buddy Bill Ayers killed police officers and tried to blow up soldiers.

It is not surprising to me that Republicans were respectful and treated the Secret Service well. Republicans praise those who sacrifice so much and put their lives on the line.

Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Why Does Dept Of Education Need Shotguns?

The Department of Education wants twenty-seven shotguns.

When I first looked at this I thought it might be for sporting programs and that maybe some school systems had skeet or trap teams. But once I read the summary I knew that could not be the case. The shotguns requested have 14″ barrels which would not be good for either sport. Further reading shows that the intent is for tactical purposes:

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) intends to purchase twenty-seven (27) REMINGTON BRAND MODEL 870 POLICE 12/14P MOD GRWC XS4 KXCS SF. RAMAC #24587 GAUGE: 12 BARREL: 14″ – PARKERIZED CHOKE: MODIFIED SIGHTS: GHOST RING REAR WILSON COMBAT; FRONT – XS CONTOUR BEAD SIGHT STOCK: KNOXX REDUCE RECOIL ADJUSTABLE STOCK FORE-END: SPEEDFEED SPORT-SOLID – 14″ LOP are designated as the only shotguns authorized for ED based on compatibility with ED existing shotgun inventory, certified armor and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.
The required date of delivery is March 22, 2010.
Interested sources must submit detailed technical capabilities and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the requirements above, no later than March 12, 2010 at 12 PM, E.S.T. Any quotes must be submitted electronically to the attention of Holly.Le@ed.gov, Contract Specialist (Contract Operations Group), with a concurrent copy to Sherese.Lewis@ed.gov, Contracting Officer (Contract Operations Group). FedBizOpps [emphasis mine]

Why would the Department of Education need tactical shotguns and why does it have an existing inventory of them??

There might be a good reason but I do not know what it is.

This is another of the things government does that makes you wonder if the inmates are running the asylum…

Harry Reid Wants Some of the Credit for Rush’s Work

I wrote not long ago that Rush Limbaugh had placed the letter from Senator Reid and 40 other Democrats on eBay and that all proceeds of the auction would go to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Fund. When I wrote that post I wrote that if it was successful Reid would probably try to take credit for it. Today that auction closed and there is no doubt it was successful because the top bid was $2,100,100.00. Someone bid 2.1 million dollars and won the document. Rush Limbaugh, the guy who liberals tried to smear as an unpatriotic non supporter of the troops came up with this idea and then he matched the bid with 2.1 million dollars of his own. Not bad at all.

Harry Reid tried to get in on the action, just as I predicted he would. Reid discussed this auction today as it wound down and he was amazed that it had raised so much. He indicated that he had spoken with Mr. Mays, the CEO he wrote the letter to, and that “we” did not think it would get that much money. Here is what Reid said:

“Never did we think that this letter would bring money of this nature. And, for the cause, Madam President, it is extremely good. Now, everyone knows that Rush Limbaugh and I don’t agree on everything in life and maybe that is kind of an understatement. But without qualification, Mark May — the owner of the network that has Rush Limbaugh — and Rush Limbaugh should know that this letter that they’re auctioning is going to be something that raises money for a worthwhile cause.” Brietbart Video

I want to know where this “WE” came from? Harry Reid was not involved in this auction and he certainly did not write his letter in order for it to be auctioned off. In fact, the auction probably caused him a lot of embarrassment because he was bested by Rush Limbaugh. Reid tried to twist Limbaugh’s words and to get his boss to make him apologize for not supporting the troops and it ends up backfiring while raising a lot of money for the troops. So just how did Harry Reid have anything to do with this? As usual, this little weasel had his rear end handed to him and then he tries to turn it into a victory for him. Now Harry, you lose. It is that plain and simple. You and the other 40 idiots who signed that letter were made to look like the absolute fools that you are.

Reid urges people with the means to bid on the item (that was probably a plea for MoveOn to bid and then burn it up) but did Harry make a bid? He certainly has enough money after all his illegal activities. Did Harry Reid call on the 40 dimwits who signed this to match the winning bid? Limbaugh matched it. If each of these people donated $50,000 they would nearly match the winning bid.

But then again, these jackasses never spend their money, just ours…
