Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah introduced a bill this week to cut funding for paramilitary units in any of the 48 federal agencies that now have these SWAT teams, such the Bureau of Land Management, the IRS, the Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, etc etc etc
These units are really just Obama’s private army – and some Republicans are actually working to halt this communist uprising.
Rep. Stewart set out to create this legislation in response to the Cliven Bundy ranch stand-off with BLM agents.
“There are lots of people who are really concerned when the BLM shows up with its own SWAT team,” he said, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. “They’re regulatory agencies. They’re not paramilitary units, and I think that concerns a lot of us.”
We wish you the best with those efforts Rep. Stewart. Of course, the Obama regime will need his private armies when it finally hits the fan here in the US, so he will be looking to stop any actions that strip him of his minions.

Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah, concerned about the armed agents that surrounded Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s property, is mulling a measure to cut funding for any “paramilitary units” that work for the Bureau of Land Management, the Internal Revenue Service and other federal regulatory agencies.“There are lots of people who are really concerned when the BLM shows up with its own SWAT team,” he said, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. “They’re regulatory agencies. They’re not paramilitary units, and I think that concerns a lot of us.”

His mulled amendment to an appropriations bill comes in context of recent BLM actions against Mr. Bundy: The federal agents armed themselves and surrounded his property, tasered his son, closed down road access to the ranch and even shot a couple of his prize bulls. The reasons? Mr. Bundy hadn’t paid his grazing fees to the federal government, but rather fought the matter in court.
Militia from all over the nation came to the ranch to support Mr. Bundy in his standoff with the BLM — and for that, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid labeled them “domestic terrorists,” various media reported.
The BLM finally backed off and left — but not before a shocked nation expressed outrage at the government’s armed stance against a man who, at the root, was guilty of not paying a bill.
Mr. Stewart said it’s high time the government end its practice of arming its own special units for various agencies, like the BLM and the IRS.
“They should do what anyone else would do,” he told the Salt Lake Tribune. “Call the local sheriff, who has the capability to intervene in situations like that.”
The Interior Department, for its part, said the BLM and National Park Service had armed agents at Mr. Bundy’s ranch to guarantee the safety of the public and of their workers.

At least someone is trying
Like
The backlash has to start somewhere. At least with a law Congress can jail the problems.
good all funding should be cut to all of them anyhow weapons or not it’s time to rein them end and put them back under the people for the people not above
Sadly it wont get through the Senate cuz it’s run by a bunch of traitors…
They have never belonged there in the first place.
About damned time you spineless fools. I suspect the main reason for doing this is the realization that they will be the FIRST oBama’s troops go after……………………….
STILL Obama says NOTHING – Obama calls Mexican president & says not 1 word about our Marine held in Mexican prison for over 3 months. And he tells you how much he cares.
Now the Millennial’s are losing faith in Obama at alarming rate. Even they see now that they have been LIED to & that he has FAILED.
174,000-YES-that is the # of illegals that have come since Oct 2013. We all heard about 60,000 but 174,000 makes it a bigger problem that has actually been going on for longer than thought. And they are shipping them all over OUR COUNTRY. Processing them & then releasing them on the streets with a promise to show up at a hearing. How many do you think will actually show up?
-The Dems are calling this a refugee problem.
–Who are going to get hurt by all of these illegals in OUR country. Yes it will be the poor & middle-class in this country.
Obama – Pretty $#%&!@*y “You know, the suit is a stunt. But what I’ve told Boehner directly is if you’re really concerned about me taking too many executive actions, why don’t you try getting something done through Congress?” That’s right tells him to TRY when he knows his puppet Harry Reid will keep anything & everything from getting passed.
With all going on & where was Obama – doing what he always does. Having a town hall to run his mouth w/LIES & to once again blame the Republicans for everything & then he is off to another fund raiser for Democrats. How much to we the American taxpayer have to pay for Obama to raise money for Democrats?
Now EPA is saying that they also have lost information being ask for. Another hard drive crash.
Our economy fell 2.9% in 1st quarter of 2014 – not since 2009 have we seen this.
Now 75% of Americans think that what the IRS did was intentional & the investigation should go on. So for the Dems I say that you are wrong when you try to tell us that no one cares about this. I think they know what was going on & possibly some of their names are on some of these document. You can’t ignore what has happened. Do they think we are STUPID? As Obama tells you how transparent he is while hiding everything. If he has nothing to hide then why now show us everything.
Let me ask this question – where are e-mails of Lerner asking to restore her information? Would not anyone ask for this? Koskinan say NO obstruction at the IRS. Well they knew in Feb & he found out in March but never told Congress. Anyone wonder why there is no information on anyone asking for there files to be restored. Only a fool would believe this story.
Ferriero, the Archivist of NARA, testified before Congress that the IRS “did not follow the law” when it failed to report the loss of 2 yrs of Lerner’s emails that had subpoenaed. Then asked, “But they didn’t do that?” Ferriero “That’s right.”
“Did they break the law?,” & Ferriero said “I do,”.
The reports are out now at the VA & it reported that 70% of VA facilities used secret waiting list. In 2011 they started the bonus program. I would like to know just who came up & passed along how to trick the waiting list system. They didn’t all think of the same thing.
Just when Obama needs something to look good for him – they get their hands on 1 of the Benghazi attackers. You know the guy that was hiding in plain site.
All I would say to Obama at this point is “When more of our troops die due to what you did-Their blood will be on Obama’s hands” To Obama & Kerry we say this-since they don’t seem to know-war is over when EVERY American is out of Afghanistan. Obama says he want apologize. We don’t expect him to because he doesn’t really care what THE PEOPLE have to say.
What part of the war is not over until all of our troops are out of Afghanistan – Kerry a fool & playing w/lives of those left in Afghanistan. Kerry says-Taliban detainees released in a prison swap for Bergdahl could indeed return to terrorism but largely dismissed the argument that the deal will put U.S. troops further at risk. Kerry says the argument that troops in Afghanistan would be more at risk was ‘baloney’ now that the Taliban commanders have been released, particularly because the US is winding down its military presence in that country. ‘Our combat role in Afghanistan is over’, ‘We’re going to have very few people in that kind of position.’
-Story was about Bergdahl’s health now story that Taliban said they would kill him if negotiations were leaked. They now say he was tortured – of course he was – would you trust a deserter?
-Hagel says that they didn’t negotiating w/terrorists they negotiated w/Qatar. DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID? 90 Obama staff members were told about the trade but they refused to tell Congress.
-Some in Obama admin are saying that those that were actually there when Bergdahl deserted are LYING.
-Hagel says he has seen nothing about anyone killed looking for Bergdahl.
-Rice says Bergdahl says “He served with honor & dignity” when those that served w/him says he was a deserter.
Bergdahl at 1 point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors & declared himself a “mujahid,” or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account.
Obama says that we never leave a man behind. Guess he has forgotten about Benghazi.
Obama says “It’s my administration & I always take responsibility” What a joke
Now some Democrats say that Obama is Detached, Flat Footed & Incompetent. They will say anything at this point to be re-elected.
If Obama has nothing to hide why don’t they give us ALL of the information requested?” We now know that Obama was not in the situation room while events were taking place. We know Obama was busy campaigning & not reading the daily briefs. E-mail showing it was adviser that sent out the word to use the video as the cause for Benghazi. Everyone on the ground said it was a terrorist attack & CIA chose to listened to analyst in DC. Still we are 21 months later & not 1 person has been captured. Now they have e-mail showing that instead of concentration on the men being killed in Benghazi they were focused on the video at that time.
Obama’s admin secretive & dishonest; its callous disregard for the rule of law undermines our constitutional republic. Must ask Obama if he remembers taking an oath of office to uphold law & constitution NOT to change them without Congress.
Anything reported–Obama says that he didn’t know. Why is it no one that works for Obama tells him anything or is this just his cover-up line?
Again we ask–What the hell does Obama know? Plausible Deniability
Fast & Furious–Obama didn’t know-5 years still nothing.
Benghazi–Obama didn’t know-now documents show that Obama & Clinton LIED about the attack & Morrell gave St Dept cover.
IRS–Obama didn’t know-now calling it a media scandal. DOJ says NO charges
NSA–Obama didn’t know
Obamacare not working–Obama didn’t know- Obama said he was not told DIRECTLY now there is a memo showing the White house was told 1 week prior to rollout of issues.
Going after AP & FOX reporters phone records because they were reporting things that Obama didn’t want known – Obama didn’t know
ICE reports 36,000 illegals released last year & 1,000’s have criminal records-even rape & murder.
VA scandal They say Obama found out reading newspaper but Obama & Biden were told 5 years ago that VA was inaccurately report wait times.
Obama always says he will get to the bottom of it & then what do we see–NOTHING. Obama continues to say “We will bring those responsible to justice”. And what have we seen – NO ONE held accountable.
By the way….this is 1 woman that does not support Obama or anything that he stands for! We will get the truth 1 day. My motto:”I WILL NOT COMPLY!” So I will continue to sing my song until he is gone… Please enjoy & start learning the words.
