SEN. DAVID VITTER HOLDING UP LYNCH NOMINATION AMID CONTINUING CLINTON QUESTIONS

Proud to see that the senior Senator from our state of Louisiana is continuing to hold account the Obama administration concerning the handling of Hillary Clinton's emails while during her time as Sec. of State.  There is no assurance that as Attorney General that Loretta Lynch will not continue to be a pawn in the Obama administration as, as such, questions should be answered before a full vote is taken on her nomination to that post.  As we have seen for the past 6 years with Eric Holder, the Justice Department is not impartial and is another tool being used by Barack Obama in setting his agenda.

THIS PRESIDENT HAS UTTER CONTEMPT FOR OUR AMERICAN ALLIES

If this doesn’t call for impeachment, then nothing else can. Talk about aiding and abetting the enemy. 

However, an Israeli minister “who has good ties with the US administration revealed Netanyahu’s plans to Secretary of State John Kerry” and as a result Obama then threatened to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

REAL LEADERSHIP

Despite the feeble and leadership-deficient President that we have here in the United States, Israel has Netanyahu who is not afraid to stand up against Islamic terrorism and use the allies that stand with Israel in Congress. In this video, he outlined the reasons for coming to America and addressing Congress next month.

Real leadership. Something we definitely lack.

OBAMA’S BUDGET BLOWS A HUGE HOLE IN LOUISIANA’S OWN BUDGET

As if the State of Louisiana did not have enough budgetary issues at hand, with Obama’s proposed budget, we as a state stand to lose millions of dollars in revenue from offshore oil rigs.

The Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act, or GOMESA, requires the federal government to distribute to Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, 37.5 percent of the money it collects from offshore oil and gas rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. 

Our Senator, David Vitter, said in a statement released on Monday: 

“The President’s budget plan to funnel the Gulf states’ offshore energy revenue out of those states is incredibly insulting to Louisianians. In Louisiana, federal revenue from offshore energy activity goes directly to coastal restoration. Our coasts are the first line of defense to a hurricane or tropical storm; plus, they represent a critical part of our ecosystem. We’re losing large amounts of coastline every day, and funding our coastal restoration projects is incredibly important,” said Vitter.

The article from The Washington Post identifies the following information from the budget:

Funds will instead be directed to programs that offer broader natural resource, watershed, and conservation benefits for the entire Nation, help the Federal government fulfill its role of being a good neighbor to local communities, and support other national priorities.

Obama’s administration is yet again using money that has a specific intent and purpose in his grand scheme of “redistribution.”

JUST EXACTLY HOW OUT OF TOUCH IS BARACK OBAMA???

Obama should be concerned with the most sacred of places where life truly begins, which is in the womb, and should concern himself with the drilling of the abortion doctor.  This is exactly why our “President” is so out of touch.

This far northern region is known as “The Sacred Place Where Life Begins” to Alaska Native communities. The Refuge sustains the most diverse array of wildlife in the entire Arctic — home not only to the Porcupine caribou, but to polar bears, gray wolves, and muskoxen. Bird species from the Coastal Plain migrate to all 50 states of the country — meaning that no matter where you live, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is part of your landscape.

VITTER TO BLOCK ATTORNEY GENERAL NOMINATION

In his recent email, Sen. David Vitter outlined his work in blocking the nomination of Loretta Lynch to Attorney General of the United States in response to the President’s decision to use executive action in regards to immigration.

President Obama’s executive amnesty is clearly illegal. It’s a horrible policy that will only make a desperate situation much worse. Plus, it encourages immigrants to come here illegally by rewarding folks who have already broken our immigration laws.

It’s also clearly beyond his authority under our Constitution. Presidents have the power to fill in details of legislation. That’s completely different from acting contrary to statutory law. But that’s exactly what President Obama is doing – he’s acting contrary to our immigration laws already on the books.

I’m doing everything I can to block his attempts to grant executive amnesty. As a U.S. Senator, one way I can do this is by opposing his nominee to be our Attorney General. President Obama’s nominee, Loretta Lynch, would directly help implement his illegal executive amnesty and give him legal cover to do so. I’m urging my Senate colleagues to oppose her nomination as well.

The Attorney General is the top law enforcement officer of the United States. But the Senate cannot in good conscience confirm a nominee that will serve only as a rubber stamp for the President’s lawless executive amnesty.

OBAMA QUOTES NONEXISTENT BIBLE VERSE IN IMMIGRATION SPEECH

Maybe he should stick to something he knows well, like aborting a fetus.

While there are plenty of Bible verses to mention while discussing immigration, President Obama on Tuesday quoted one which isn’t so great, mainly because it’s not real. “The good book says don’t throw stones at glass houses, or make sure we’re looking at the log in our eye before we are pointing out the mote in other folks eyes,” Obama said during a speech in Nashville. One problem, though: The Bible never mentions glass houses.
