RULES, REGS AND RAW DEALS!

The following is from a piece by Gerry Hafer.
A quick look at government regulations will show you how bad the problem has become.  In 2015 alone, 3,410 new regulations were enacted.  And another 3,297 rules in various stages of readiness.  And during the same time Congress passed 114 new laws. 
"A joint study  by the Weidenbaum Center at Washington University and the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center, reports that the 2016 federal budget proposed by President Obama calls for $66.8 billion to cover the cost of 'developing and enforcing federal regulations,' along with an increase of over 3,000 federal regulatory staffing, nearly two-thirds of which fall in the broad staffing category of 'Social Regulation'."
Now you may wonder how this has come about?  I believe Congress, our elected representatives, have gotten lazy and clumsy in their jobs and just simply turned the job over to hired bureaucrats without checking their work.  You can see what it has led to!......Medicineman!

"BIG PUSH"

On July 1st. 100 years ago the long-awaited "Big Push" began.  It was the beginning of the Somme Offensive and the attempt to crack open the Western Front of World War I.
120,000 troops of the British Expeditionary Force came out of their trenches and marched across no-mans land into the hail of machine gun and rifle fire.  By days end 19,240 British men lay dead and 38,231 more were wounded or captured.  The war dragged on!........Medicineman!

JULY 10 1940

On this day in 1940 Hitler's Germany dropped bombs on Britain and continued doing so with the idea of invading the English Isles.  The Brits responded with "Spitfire" and "Hurricane" fighters thus prompting Churchill's "Finest hour" speech.  As a result Hitler never made the invasion but instead turned his eyes and forces on Russia.
In the months leading up to the "Battle of Britain" the United States asked it's citizens to "loan" their personal firearms to the British people so they could defend their shores.  Britain had Gun Laws that deprived it's citizens of rifles and hand guns so they called on US for help.  We must never forget this event and be ever watchful!.......Medicineman!

KATES LAW SHOT DOWN BY THE DEMOS

Today, in the Senate of the United States, Democrat members voted down Kates Law.  The law to ban Sanctuary Cities.  San Francisco is one, the one that allowed the killer of The young woman bearing the name of the law a year ago to be deported and return time after time until he killed.  Sanctuary Cities "hide" them in their midst by failing to report their presence.  What a deal for the illegal........Medicineman!

DOOLITTLE TO TOKYO +74

Staff Sgt. David Thatcher was 94 when he died on June 29 in Missoula.  74 years ago Thatcher was a 20 year old tail gunner/engineer on the 7th B-25 to take off from the USS Hornet.  There remains only one of those 80 famous flyers who showed Japan that they had made a terrible mistake when they "kicked the sleeping giant" and took the fight to the heart of Japan just four months after December 7, 1941.
The remaining flyer is Lt. Col. Dick Cole, 100 years.  Col. Cole was Doolittle's Co-Pilot in B-25 #1 that historic day and last year joined Thatcher at the National Museum of the United States Air Force  in Ohio to accept the Congressional Gold Medal on behalf of the Raiders.  Just thought you should know!....Medicineman!

YOUR FAULT? MY FAULT? EVERYBODYS FAULT?

Six Somalia/Americas tried and convicted of joining ISIS and trying to sneak out of the country to join them and die a martyr.  Why?  First and second generation American they HATE the country that has raised them and given them the life-style they live.  Hate with a passion!  And the reason is because our leaders have failed to talk about the GOOD in our form of government and instead have found every reason to find fault in what we do.  Our schools fail to teach the good history (or any history at all).  Instead, our children are told how we have mistreated the rest of the world.
My Great Granddaughter just graduated from high school in the state of Washington where there was no Baccalaureate Program, no prayer.  They did have a Color Guard and a Choral group sang the National Anthem.  There were 6, yes 6 valedictorians each of which had to read from the slip handed them.
We have stopped being proud of what the American people have accomplished and the standard of living that has come about through our from of Governing ourselves.  Your Fault? My Fault?, Everybodys Fault?......Medicineman!  

IF YOU LIKE MUSEUMS..........

Fredericksburg, Texas is the home of Admiral Nimitz.  I can hear now the many young adults asking, "Who is Admiral Nimitz"?  During World War Two, while General MacArthur was commander of all Army forces in the Pacific, Admiral Nimitz was the head man over all Naval Forces in the Pacific.

When the Museum was started the proposed name was "The Nimitz Museum."  The Admiral put the end to that when he said it must be called "The Museum of The Pacific War." in honor of those who fought and died in that war.  And so it is today.

Covering six acres the complex includes the museum, the Japanese Peace Garden, the  Pacific Combat Zone, George H.W. Bush Gallery and more.  This is an opportunity to spend a couple of days in Texas quiet.  That is just what I intend to do very soon!.......Medicineman!
