14 people murdered in California shooting, 17 injured (updated)
41chevy replied to kscarbel2's topic in Odds and Ends
The Obama taker next to me was saying "stricter gun laws would have prevented this". My question to him was California has the strictest gun laws in the country, Almost impossible to own a weapon or even a replica. The laws have put gun shops out of business and arms makers to leave the state. I asked if the Muslims could be the proble and not the legal ownership of a weapon. His rely was "Obama said we need stricter gun laws and he knows whats best" How do you respond to a person who gets every freebie Obama gives away? Now tell me Obama isn't hell bent for leather to allow these attacks to happen for him to stay in power? Here is the White House Response. White House press secretary Josh Earnest urged lawmakers to pass new legislation providing Obama with the explicit authority to counter all forms of Domestic terrorism. “This effort is serious, and should be the focus of serious debate,” Earnest told reporters during his Thursday briefing. “It will take more than three weeks to pass an AUMF, but Congress, in each of these cases, must stop using the fact that these issues are difficult as an excuse for doing nothing.” What does that have to do with California or any other place here? Whats is he going to order a red line in the sand for the terrorists not to cross? -
From The Watch on The Rhine 3rd Division news letter. Michael Brendan Dougherty is puzzled as to why Republicans and journalists haven't hit Hillary Clinton on this one key issue- the transformation of Libya into a terrorist playground: Just 350 miles from the tiny European member state Malta, ISIS has set up a colony in Surt, Libya. This Libyan outpost is now receiving veteran fighters and administrators from the burgeoning theocratic blob that has spread across Syria and Iraq. It is from this redoubt in Surt that the Islamic State can project power across North Africa, according to an in-depth report from The New York Times. Now that we've seen the Islamic State lash out on European soil, the prospect of them establishing a statelet 400 miles from Italy should give us pause. How did they get there? How was Surt made ready to be the Islamic State's caliphate away from the caliphate? Look no further than the woman most likely to become our next president, Hillary Clinton. Using American power to help overthrow Moammar Gadhafi's government was her signature idea as secretary of state. Surely, the Arab Spring rebels would handle the mop up. Alas, it didn't turn out that way. However, beyond a tut-tutting tweet from Jeb Bush, don't expect any of Clinton's 2016 rivals for high office to criticize her for it. The Republican Party is now congenitally unable to criticize the result of a war without consequences. As for President Obama, it appears his plan to stop the spread of terrorism is to cool the planet. -

YEP! The President says we should feel sorry for the Syrian Refugees . . .and I do . . . sorry they're coming here!

My Dodge gets 15mpg on real gas and almost 11mpg on E-10 so whats the benefit? The higher ethanol percentage the lower my mileage. So the EPA law benefits the people that the USDA over sees and who else. Surely not me.

Clean under hood, Stainless steel on the door bottoms (cover rust?) 15,600 0n bid but just give to me at least a bad feeling something is amiss with it.

Have no idea how many agencies help the EPA make regulations. I assume the USDA is now owned by the Corn Lobby? Since the EPA is upping the E-10 requirement to E-12.7 and the USDA spent $210 million for 5000 Ethanol Blend gas pumps for 21 states. The bill to limit this is in committee and stands less than a 1% chance of reaching the Congress or Senate. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2015/12/02/epa-breaks-blend-wall-with-latest-ethanol-mandate-ruling/?refer=news http://ksnt.com/2015/10/28/usda-provides-100m-for-5000-new-ethanol-pumps-in-21-states/ https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr704

Obama, the guy with the biggest carbon footprint in the world when he travels, could use modern video technology and stay home. Furthermore, his actions speak louder than his words - his deal with China and India gave them until 2030 to do anything about their pollution issue. Obama's motto is "Talk loudly and carry no stick."

Obama: Climate Pact Would Be 'Act of Defiance' Against Terrorism LE BOURGET, France — Pushing for a powerful climate deal, President Barack Obama called the global talks opening Monday outside Paris an "act of defiance" against terrorism that proves the world stands undeterred by Islamic State-linked attacks in Europe and beyond. Obama used his speech to more than 150 world leaders to salute Paris and its people for "insisting this crucial conference go on" just two weeks after the "alleged" terrorist attacks that killed 130 in the French capital. He said leaders had converged to show resolve to fight Global Warming and uphold their values. "What greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best efforts to save it," Obama said. Obama's remarks came at the start of two weeks of make-or-break negotiations to finalize a sweeping global agreement to cut carbon emissions and hopefully stave off the worst effects of climate change. Obama exhorted leaders here to fight the enemy of cynicism — "the notion we can't do anything" about the warming of the planet. After sketching dire threats of submerged nations, abandoned cities and ever-worsening flooding and natural disasters, Obama insisted that grim future "is one that we have the power to change." He urged leaders to "rise to this moment," invoking the late Martin Luther King Jr.'s observation that there's such a thing as being too late to a cause. "That hour is almost upon us," Obama said. Efforts to secure a climate deal have been hampered by a long-running dispute about whether developing nations share the same burden as industrialized nations that have historically polluted much more. The U.S. and other nations have insisted that all countries chip in under the new agreement. Aiming to put a finer point on that argument, Obama met Monday with President Xi Jinping of China, which has started taking aggressive action to curb emissions, and with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has argued repeatedly that climate change isn't India's fault. As he sat down with Modi, Obama said he agreed that India has the right to pursue economic development and fight poverty, but said those priorities must also reflect "serious and ambitious action by all nations" to curb its carbon pollution. Modi pledged that India will fulfill its climate responsibilities in full, declaring that "development and protection of the environment go hand in hand." In his meeting with Xi, Obama said nowhere had coordination with Beijing been more critical or fruitful than on climate change. He credited U.S. and Chinese leadership with leading 180 nations to make their own pledges to curb emissions in the run-up to the Paris talks. "My leadership on this issue has been absolutely vital," Obama said. China emits about 10 percent of the world's greenhouse gases and the U.S. about 30 percent.Yet Obama also invoked hot-button issues that have long vexed U.S.-China relations. The United States has complained bitterly about cyberattacks against the U.S. emanating from China, and Obama has spoken out regularly against China's assertive moves in disputed waters in the East China Sea and South China Sea. "Our teams have found ways to work through these tensions in a constructive fashion," Obama said. After their meeting, the White House said Obama had urged China to live up to commitments on cyber that Xi made when he visited the White House in September, and that Obama had "stressed the need to address regional issues, including maritime differences, peacefully and in accordance with international law." Obama also encouraged Xi to move ahead with economic reforms that would let U.S. companies "compete fairly in the Chinese market," the White House said. Xi, speaking through a translator, said that global worries made it even more important for the U.S. and China to work together. "The world economy is recovering slowly, terrorism is on the rise, and climate change is a huge challenge. There is more instability and uncertainty in international situations," said the Chinese leader. As the conference kicked off, the Obama administration announced United States is pledging $551 million to a global fund to help poorer countries adapt to climate change. The U.S. contribution joins pledges from Germany, Canada, Italy and others to total $248 million. The Obama administration didn't specify where the U.S. dollars would come from. Obama has struggled to convince the Republican-run Congress to fund his climate goals, amid concerns from critics in the U.S. who say his energy plan is unattainable and could be wiped away by his successor. Obama also said the U.S. would participate in a new private-sector partnership aimed at boosting investment in clean energy technology. Announcing the initiative on stage with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, one of the backers of deal, Obama said new, cheaper technologies would be critical to helping poorer nations "skip the dirty phase of development." "That's why the private sector — from inventors to investors — will have a seat at the table," Obama said. Obama capped his day of climate diplomacy at a working dinner with French President Francois Hollande. The leaders and top advisers dined met for an intimate dinner at L'Ambroisie — a chic eatery in Paris' trendy Marais that boasts a coveted Michelin three-star-rating. The president is slated to continue his talks with world leaders on Tuesday. Obama plans to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and will host a meeting of island nations hit hard by climate change before returning to Washington. © Copyright 2015 The Associated Press

During the Depression it was easier to use a horse then a car or truck. Eats free, no repairs, no tires or gas. -
The original requirement was the U.S. Department of Defense requirement from the mid 1930's. They felt it was needed because the military drivers were not considered "professionals" with little or no driving experience. Easier to say "don't move when the buzzer is buzzing" than teach everybody to wait for air up.

Are the front lights 4 1/2 inch or 5 3/4 inch diameter? Paul
