Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson threatened US sheriffs today. Johnson told the sheriffs that they will not receive federal grants they are counting on if the Republican Congress does not fund amnesty.
Sheriff Justin Smith from Larimer County Colorado posted this tonight on his Facebook page:
I received a very interesting veiled threat letter from Jeh Johnson, the Secretary of Homeland Security addressed to all police chiefs and sheriffs around the country.
His letter made it clear that if Congress didn’t send President Obama the DHS funding bill that he wanted (rubberstamping the president’s executive amnesty), local and state public safety agencies would not receive federal grants they were counting on because the president would veto the DHS funding bill.
Let me get this straight – the president believes he has the authority to nullify federal laws that don’t serve his personal agenda, but if Congress dares to exercise it’s responsibility of controlling the purse strings, he will willingly hold public safety grants hostage just to get his way?
Mr. President, you don’t have to love the Congress we elected, but you do have to respect their role as established under the Constitution -and Mr. Johnson, please show some integrity and stop with the threats. Sheriffs don’t take kindly to them.
The emperor needs a realm. May he get exactly, that realm. I believe it is coming, very soon.
We do know what Obama is doing. And many of us knew this kind of stuff was going to happen in a second term.
That’s right. But we won’t hear a word just like most libs will not admit they made a mistake by voting for the POS Obama.
We knew it would happen I the first term
The Ninth Ring of Hell is appropriate.
It was a fear before he was elected. We knew.
I see a big show down coming. This evil POS might declare himself President For Life.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Going along per the plan. He’ll send in his national police force. No problem.

I have maintained from the first day he occupied the White House, he is not leaving of his own accord. And should he decide to stay, who will tell him nay?
Totalitarians R Us have spoken. Check$ and Balance$? CONgre$$?
Guess they’ll have to confiscate more property and write more tickets.
I don’t see the threat as a problem but, an opportunity for them to self fund and ensure job security...

I have to agree. I don’t see anyone standing up to him.
I’ve always thought that if he could get away with it, he would make Hitler and Stalin look like boy scouts.
Perhaps. Regardless, a Hillary will kill all hope for Our World. The Planet. We, us human species, will die.
Agree.
Seems like the DoD hasn’t been too happy with him lately
Perhaps. Regardless, a Hillary will kill all hope for Our World. The Planet. We, us human species, will die by slavery. How is this even a possible idea? I was at a loss of understanding. Now, not so much.
