“The Federal Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. has suggested that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department’s interpretation of a law in India. (If the same wood from the same tree was finished by Indian workers, the material would be legal.) This action was taken without the support and consent of the government in India.”

UPDATE: Gibson CEO gives press statemeent. Apparently, the DOJ also confiscated $500K of materials from Gibson back in 2009 and the CEO wants it back.

And then there’s this news item also.

Michelle Malkin posted on this as well. Quite a few worthwhile links in her article that are also must reads.

And the CEO is interviewed by Dana Loesch. This is an inteesting interview (audio only).

Even Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) hits on it a small bit.

UPDATEx2: Seems Gibson’s CEO is a Republican supporter and a competitor (Martin), as a Democrat supporter who also uses the same wood, hasn’t been touched by the DOJ. How about that.

Reminder:
DOJ files lawsuits against Arizona & other states for passing ‘self-defense’ laws the same as Article 4, Section 4 in the U.S. Constitution.

Why is it our DOJ is more interested in protecting workers in another country (that didn’t ask for help) rather than protecting the lives and sovereign properties of our own citizens from Mexican crime cartels?

This needs an answer. Seriously.

GM Hysteria

Posted on August 22, 2011 | 1 comment

Er, um, GM History. Yeah, that’s what I meant.

Question is, what does the word – Warranty – mean? Apparently, it no longer means anything to the “new” GM. You know, the car company now run by the UAW? The same company whose prior CEO was “fired” by Barry?

Well, I’ll let Andrew Breitbart recap the history of the GM transmografication (!) to us all.

All I know is, I am glad my truck is paid off. Should I ever need to replace it – it will not be a GM product.

Thanks a whole heckuva lot, Barry.

Maxine, You First

Crude, rude and tattooed, most likely.

Apparently, Maxine Waters doesn’t care much for Tea Party members. Guess what, Maxine, we don’t like Socialists, either.

The new civility – same as the old civility.

EXXON Fighting Oil Killers

Posted on August 20, 2011 | Leave a comment

Here. In the Gulf of Mexico. Our own regulators killed EXXON’s attempt to drill in the largest oil field of over a billion gallons discovered in 2007.
h/t Hot Air.

Per Investors Business Daily:

The Exxon discovery is the biggest in a decade. If put into operation, its billion barrels will be enough to make a dent in America’s oil dependency on foreign tyrants. If that isn’t a sufficient national security reason, what is?

Not to mention our thousands of jobs lost in the Gulf Coast area and beyond, revenues to the government funds lost, economic devastation, more funds lost to overseas oil companies, our oil rigs lost to other countries, etc., etc. etc.

Now what was that quote by candidate Barak Obama? Oh, yeah:
“Under my plan, electrical energy costs would necessarily skyrocket.”

Apparently, it isn’t just coal that provides energy, now is it?

The Great One Asks A Question

Radio host Mark Levin, speaking on issues as: Backdoor amnesty, DOMA, S&P investigation by Justice, Dept. of HHS supporting Obamacare, EPA and cap and trade.

“Is that the act of a dictator?”

Audeo at HotAirPundit.

I would say the answer is – Yes.

Poisoning Our Kids To Control Us

Posted on August 13, 2011 | 1 comment

Can you say – exploitation? Van Jones’ organization, while not using that word, is doing exactly that.

Remember Van Jones? He’s the one czar that had to leave the White House Administration. Not because he is an admitted Communist, but as a 9/11 Truther that has been called out by Glenn Beck numerous times. And now Van Jones is using kids to try to change our country. Well, he has been – not just now.

The thing is, the kids in the videos (following this link) don’t truly understand the whole of what they are saying. They aren’t yet mature enough to get the full impact of the crafted message scripted for them. But you probably are.

Messages such as – remove the cap on the social security tax – we gotta stop letting corporations be recognized as people. We’re the people, they’re not! – clearly communistic, socialistic. Doesn’t Van Jones know that the “cap” on social security witholdings has been shifted upwards for years ? Who does he think he is kidding?

Do you really want to be influenced like this? By Van Jones and people like him?

I do not.

And We Thought The Fuel Cost Was Bad

Posted on August 12, 2011 | 1 comment

Now, the POTUS wants higher fuel efficiency on bigger, diesel, delivery trucks.

Guess how long that would take, how many drivers will no longer afford the newer trucks, how much higher delivery costs will be (fewer trucks), how much higher food prices and dry goods costs there will be?

And we thought it was rough now. You haven’t seen anything yet.

Just like what Jazz Shaw said in his Hot Air article, “didn’t the president just stand up at a battery factory someplace and tell us that his renewed focus was not only on jobs but on repairing the tanking national economy?”

This is but one recent example demonstrating that whatever the POTUS says one day, is cancelled out by his actions the next. Or made even worse.

You remember that Caterpillar (heavy equipment) manufacturer that BO spoke and delivered stimulus money to, yes? You know they finally closed up shop, right?

Oh yeah, the hands of AllState he hasn’t got.
