Obama Wants to Regulate Cow Farts
examiner.com: “An article in The Daily Caller “White House looks to regulate cow flatulence as part of climate agenda” could have been an April Fool’s joke, but sadly it is not. It seems of all of the issues facing our country and the world today, climate change stands at the top of the list as the most serious threat to humankind. New EPA regulations seek to reduce methane gas emissions from cows by twenty-five percent by the year 2020, labeling it an extremely potent greenhouse gas (if you are married you know what they mean). Taking this issue as seriously as the EPA demands we do, perhaps we should look at exactly what the (un) intended consequences of the new regulation would achieve: Reducing methane gas emissions by twenty-five percent would force farmers to reduce their livestock by twenty-five percent.”
Obama Threatens to Veto Laws Passed that Require Him to Follow the Law
Washington Examiner: “President Obama is threatening to veto a law that would allow Congress to sue him in federal courts for arbitrarily changing or refusing to enforce federal laws because it ‘violates the separation of powers’ by encroaching on his presidential authority. ‘[T]he power the bill purports to assign to Congress to sue the President over whether he has properly discharged his constitutional obligation to take care that the laws be faithfully executed exceeds constitutional limitations,’ the White House Office of Management and Budget said”
Unprosecuted Felonies: Wind Farms Killed 67+ Eagles in Last Five Years
Fox News: “Wind energy facilities have killed at least 67 golden and bald eagles in the last five years, but the figure could be much higher, according to a new scientific study by government biologists”
A federal law called the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act provides for the protection of the bald eagle and the golden eagle prohibiting the “taking” of eagles. The term “take” includes killing an eagle. See 16 U.S.C. 668c; 50 CFR 22.3. The civil penalties for violating the Act include a maximum fine of $5,000 or one year in prison. Second convictions have a penalty of a $10,000 fine or up to two years in prison. Killing an eagle can also be a felony with a fine up to $250,000 or two years in prison. Fine double if the killer is an organization.
Although killing eagles is a crime ignored by President Obama and Eric Holder you better not kill a duck without a permit or you may be prosecuted. Obama’s Department of Justice chartered a helicopter to fly over land in North Dakota looking for dead ducks. The federal duck police spotted two dead ducks in a pond on land owned by Oilman Bud Brigham, the head of Brigham Resources. The ducks had drowned in oil run off ponds. The feds charged Bud with crimes and prosecuted him. If convicted he could have been imprisoned for up to six months for each death.
The judge threw out the case as absurd. He said the federal duck police were trying to criminalize the following activities that result in dead ducks: driving, owning a building with windows. farming and owning a cat.

13 Fawn Police Raid Animal Shelter to Kidnap & Kill a Baby Deer
American police have become militarized and have lost the concept of reasonableness. Nothing illustrates this point better than the outrageous raid carried out by 13 law enforcement officers at the St. Francis Society Animal Shelter in Wisconsin. The legalized thugs served a search warrant on the animal shelter because it had taken in a motherless young deer. The July 9th raid was the result of two anonymous tips that the shelter had a baby deer, which caused the full weight of the law to rain down on the do good animal society.
The offense? Possessing wildlife without a permit. The animal cops acted as judge and jury put little “Giggles” the fawn into a bag and took the little animal from the safety of the animal shelter and killed the innocent little thing! The animal shelter was across the street from the Illinois state line. The deer was a resident of Illinois because it had been found by Illinois residents who brought the animal to the St. Francis Society. Instead of extraditing little Giggles back to its state of birth where the St. Francis Society had found a permanent home for it the animal police murdered the fawn. According to Jennifer Niemeyer, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources local warden supervisor, Wisconsin law requires the DNR to euthanize animals “because of the potential for disease and danger to humans.”
For more see “Baby Deer, ‘Giggles,’ Killed After Raid On St. Francis Society Animal Shelter,” “Armed agents raid animal shelter for baby deer” and “Wisconsin DNR defends removing fawn from shelter, killing it.” In the latter article the DNR says it took Giggles because the St. Francis Society didn’t have a permit for the deer. If that is the case, why didn’t DNR just send one civil servant to the animal shelter and say “Please complete this application for a permit for Giggles?” Instead, the DNR sent 13 armed thugs to terrorize the animal shelter people so it could kill the deer for its own good.
