I told you this administration likes to sneak riders, inserts or attachments inside necessary or good-sounding Bills, totally unrelated to the purpose of the Bill. It is an all too common practice. Harry Reid has attached his "Dream Act" to the Defense Bill, routine & necessary to fund the wars. He desperately wants to grab up Hispanic votes to stay in office. Besides, how could anything called "Dream Act" be perceived as bad? That's how they do it. The "Act" allows up to 700,000 illegals to gain citizenship (amnesty) by going on to college or joining the military. It'll seem noble to some - productive people & stark contrast to all those just coming to drain the social services, but it's really that "foot in the door." Like when I said if Obama health care passed they would somehow put gov't option & abortions in later. That's now being done. We are either a nation of laws as our founders declared, or we are not. Strict, clear, but fair laws that apply to all citizens. No exceptions. All progressive admins (Repub & Dem) seem to forget that the moment they gain power. And the "social" justice meted out (usually a 5-4 coin-flip) by this flimsy favoritism Supreme Court they have stacked, will rule & embarrass the people for 30 yrs or more. As soon as "good" changes are inserted (that "foot") it's that trickle eroding the dam. Obama, Pelosi & Reid know that & abuse it freely to dupe us, selling it through their propaganda press - bombard, brainwash & bamboozle the citizenry. Always keep in mind, they think we're stupid. That's why they keep explaining or telling us what's best for us. We sometimes force them to devious tactics in our stubbornness - just succumb to those more knowledgeable.
Do you remember when James Carville (prominent democrat) publicly chastised Obama to, "Get down here & take control!" on the oil spill? Obama went down just days later. Ex-pres, Clinton & Gen Powell (staunch supporters) said publicly that Obama needs to re-connect with the people. Immediately he has a "town-hall" type meeting on national TV - with a hand-picked crowd. It was amusing. He was chewed-out somewhat by a lady asking pertinent questions he wasn't prepared for, and he didn't answer. He just smiled broadly, but you can bet somebody paid for letting her in. He suddenly felt the urge to go to church too (across the street) right after a publicized poll said 20% thought he was Muslim. This guy's scripted responses after any public taint to his self-image is laughably predictable - choreographed by his damage-control team. I could really laugh at his bumbling, tardy, knee-jerk reactions if he wasn't so dangerous, and I could feel the public wasn't buying into his constant drivel. But he's a menace & the gullible public has bought so much, they make me uneasy.
Facts to ponder. Our total national debt is a staggering $130 Trillion. Only half that growing debt ($65 Tril) is more than all the money that exists in the whole world! The balance sheet of Greece (when disclosed, the stock market plummeted) is better than half of our 50 states. 90 yr old reporter, Helen Thomas retired in June after exclaiming that Israeli Jews "should get the hell out of Palestine.'' Terrorist Hezbollah praised her for telling the "truth" about those Jewish "murderous thugs." Now CAIR (Council on Amer Islamic Relations) is giving her a "lifetime achievement award." Our own Dept of Justice has said CAIR is a U.S. representative of terrorist Hamas & its atrocities. We know this! And that CAIR embraces Hamas & Hezbollah! CAIR was founded in 1994 by leaders Ahmed & Awad off IAP (Islamic Assoc for Palestine) and wants to see America as an Islamic country under Sharia law! The Transportation Security Admin (TSA) created after 9-11 (who makes little old ladies take off shoes in airports) works with CAIR unbelievably, to take Islamic "sensitivity training" to protect Islamic religious & civil rights. Taxpayers pay for this. CAIR also meets with Homeland Security (DHS) and Customs & Border (CBP) to ensure Islamic civil liberties are met. CAIR is suing the Nat Secur Agen (NSA) for monitoring al-Qaeda communications in & out of the U.S.. Clinton appointed CAIR founder, Awad to a "civil rights advisory panel" in 1997. It was on "Aviation Safety & Security!" What sick irony! One more. Rep Alan Grayson of Florida who once said, the republicans' health plan was, "Don't get sick, and if you do, die quickly "has now taken dirty rotten liar to an all-time low. His campaign ad calls his opponent "Taliban Dan" Webster, and it repeatedly quotes these 3 words, "submit to me" (referring to women & his wife). Webster actually said, "Don't say submit to me." This is deliberate distortion to defame & slander! NOT just out of context - far beyond mud-slinging. Grayson should be thrown out of office & sued. He is the embodiment of putrid politicians we must rid this congress of.
Obama has twice recently spoken of our Constitutionally endowed inalienable rights. Both times he has omitted "by our Creator." If you think this is just a slip, you're crazy and missing most everything I'm working so hard to alert you to. He measures every word written on that teleprompter. If your rights come from man - man can take them from you (or Pelosi). If they come from God as our founders purposely declared, man (President, Congress, Courts) is powerless - cannot usurp! How did they get that foot in? For Congress to call health care an inalienable right - I'd call that blasphemy! When Obama, Congress or even FDR says you have "a right" to anything they are practicing Marxism. Man (society) cannot "give" anything to anyone without "taking" it from someone else! You can only "give" what comes from your own pocket - not the pocket of others. As they say, "The problem with socialism is, eventually you run out of other peoples' money."
Not only do we pay gov't workers twice what private-sector counterparts get, in our bloated system, but there are twice as many "managers" to do the same work, or they're doing half the "work" for twice the pay. The Fed Reserve alone has 18,000 employees. Do they print the money to pay the rest? 30,000 work as support for Congress. That averages to about 55 per congressman! The EPA has 18,000. The Fed gov't is just 15% of all gov't spending. State & local gov'ts are just as rife with waste & redundancy. Buffalo NY just paid the health insurance on 2 million dead city employees. Everywhere, we could easily cut gov't employees 25%. Now cut the pay & benefits of those left by 50% to make what common folks do. Then put them to work. It wouldn't cut services one bit. 17,800 new gov't Obama jobs (with fat benefits) were added in D.C. in August alone. Why are trash collectors, for instance, Fed employees? Why is this one easy example not out-sourced to private companies at half the expense or less? If I was spending MY money it surely would be. And there is a ton of "examples." It is amazing how much simple asinine waste is overlooked. Simple fixes totally ignored all throughout gov't. Asinine spending by uncaring as-es!
Obama's latest deceptive spiel warned The People that, "Special interests are planning & running millions of dollars of attack ads against democratic candidates. None of them will disclose who's paying for these ads. You don't know if it's a Wall St banker, a big oil company, an insurance company." A WH official says the president plans to talk "a lot" about "corporate takeover of our elections." His media pals will help him sell this lie. He gets heavy coverage accusing others of foul play when facts are, his Union buddies spend more than all these entities put together: oil & gas, Wall St, defense contractors, HMOs, mining, telecom & lobbyists! And HE casts aspersions on others? The brass of this impudent liar. He thinks we're stupid. Deliberately uninformed & misinformed yes, that's how he got elected, but we're catching on now. Unions represent 7.5% of the private force & 40% of public employees. What is more special interest than Unions? And they are 99% democrats, running attack ads on republican candidates. Will his media disclose this? A Bill just zipped through the House calling for stricter campaign financing laws. Sounds good, maybe necessary, right? Obama complains that republican leaders are blocking this vote in the Senate - bad republicans. But typically, Dem Rep Brady (a big union backer) inserted an amendment that would exempt Unions from those requirements, while tying corporate hands. Again, no mention of this by Obama or press - just (party of "No") bad republicans. Just like Unions' Cadillac health plans being spared many taxes that hit individuals & small businesses. Michigan's Dem Governor rewarded her supporting UAW Union by forcing 40,000 Mich day-care providers to join & pay "auto-workers" dues of 1.15% of their state subsidies. Of course it is unconstitutional. Neither the taxpayers or day-care workers had a vote or say, and the state is near bankruptcy. Now consider if (down the road) the UAW helps day-care get a raise. Self-defeating for the state? It certainly is for the taxpayers paying the subsidies!
When one tries to discover truths regarding mysterious behavior or what motivates a mysterious person to incongruous, peculiar behavior, while also mindful that the media majority will not only be unhelpful, but complicit in cover-up, one must carefully scrutinize & re-examine the few clues that might get those puzzle pieces to fit. Such is the mystery of Obama. What drives this secretive man with so much power to do so many inexplicable things? Why does he not care what The People think? He does what he wants every time. Dinesh D'Souza points out in "The Roots of Obama's Rage" that Obama's book "Dreams From My Father" does not say "Dreams OF My Father." These are Obama's dreams, gotten from his father. So what do we know about his father & his dreams that media has divulged? First, he was an African Luo tribesman that became a Harvard economist. He was also a drunkard, polygamist (4 wives) and a wife-beater, according to one son. In one drunken accident he killed a man & lost his legs. In another he hit a tree & killed himself. Senior was an enraged anti-colonialist, a doctrine that says rich countries got rich by invading, occupying & looting poor countries of Asia, Africa & So America. Note that this doesn't even apply to the U.S.. We have looted no one, yet they throw us into this mix that they feel owe redistributive wealth back to the poor of the world. Senior contended in 1965 that nothing can stop gov't from taxing 100% of income, if those people are given benefits commensurate with all that taxed. Senior's Dream of gov't confiscation of the worker's money to give to the non-worker is now our president's Dream - and he is fervidly implementing it. It is to supposedly rectify (reparations?) the wrongs of colonialism. His step-grandmother, Sarah Obama said, "The son is realizing everything the father wanted." Their Dream is creating our nightmare! Remember when Obama returned a bust of Winston Churchill to England? His father & grandfather hated (colonialism) Great Britain.
Wayne A. Root wrote this, June 6th, 2010: "Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos - thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. He was my college classmate (Columbia U., class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia U. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with gov't spending & entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they are alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the U.S. into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs gov't for survival... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger gov't. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it. Universal health care - the health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital & health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join gov't employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats & big gov't. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression? Cap & Trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap & trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, gov't control of the economy & a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful & wealthy unions & contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC & CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama & the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes & businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around." Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients & gov't entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add 2 new Democrat senators, five Dem congressmen & a million loyal Dem voters who are dependent on big gov't. Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system & bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Dem voters who can be counted on to support big gov't. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, & eventually Social Security. Stimulus & bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN) & unions - including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of gov't employees across the country. It went to save GM & Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues. All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries & pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, gov't, & the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means. Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, & job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20% of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, & reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the gov't. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Obama & his regime have created a vast & rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big gov't; and a gov't dedicated to destroying capitalism & installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system. Add it up & you've got the perfect Marxist scheme - all devised by my Columbia U. college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward & Piven Plan." End.
I quote E J McMahon of the Washington Examiner to support what I've previously told you. "In his January, 2009 inaugural address, Pres Obama pointedly praised 'the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job' as an example of what 'sees us through our darkest hours.' But Obama never expected unionized public-sector workers to imitate their private-sector counterparts. Instead, he devoted his first few weeks in the WH to fighting for an economic 'stimulus' Bill that included $145 Bill to state & local gov'ts. In early 2010, the president warned that, 'If additional action is not taken, hundreds of thousands of add'l (gov't) jobs could be lost.' The upshot: congressional democrats last month approved another $26 Bill in special aid to states & local gov'ts. 'We can't stand by & do nothing while pink slips are given to men & women who educate our children or keep our communities safe.' Obama declared in signing the Bill. The president's rhetoric implied that the nation's schools, firehouses & police stations were on the verge of being staffed by skeleton crews. In fact, even after a recent decline, state & local gov'ts employ nearly 1.7 million more people than they did in 2000 - a gain of 9% during a decade when private employment decreased by a net of 3%. Obama's infusion of Fed aid to states & localities didn't just 'save' jobs. It also pumped up the paychecks of heavily Unionized public employees who already earn more on average, than the people who pay their salaries. While private-sector jobs were dropping along with employment in 2009, the ave annual wage for state gov't employees was UP in 45 states, including fiscal basket-cases such as Illinois, Mich, NY & NJ. The ave local gov't wage rose at least slightly in every state, even crises-wracked Calif. The stimulus helped make it all possible. Pension & retirement health care insur coverage for state & local gov't workers across the country represent unfunded liabilities that could exceed $2 Trill, and may reach $4.7 Trill. Even in the Obama era, that's real money." End. Note that $4.7 Trill doesn't include the biggest abusers of them all - Fed gov't employees. And Obama's elegant BS rhetoric seems always contrary to what's actually happening.
When Russia & Communism fell, Putin took off his uniform & gun, transforming Russia into a "Democratic Socialist" state. Remember that term & take note of the many notorious groups & attendees that Obama is urging to come join the rally, "One nation" in D.C.. These are real low-life types he urges on his own website, Organizing For America. This rally is to counter Glenn Beck's 08/28/10 huge gathering. All of Obama's Socialist, Marxist & Communist friends will be there. You could see in one massive showing, all of the evil, revolutionary, anti-America, highly dangerous creeps & thugs that do his bidding. But he's a nice guy, well-liked. He denied ever knowing most of them to get elected, but they are all getting bolder & more open now. Just look at the disgusting array that will be there in organized force. There is Green For All, Color Of Change, and STORM (Communist & Truther, Van Jones' groups). Jim Wallace, Marxist preacher for Obama with his Sojourners group, plus SEIU & Andy Stern & other big-shots of big Unions. The Nat Council of Laraza (The Race) Hispanic "Haters" that Justice Sotomayor sympathizes with will be there, with America-hating/Terrorist supporters, "Code Pink" & Bill Ayers & his terrorist wife. They all admire terrorist Hamas & Hezbollah. Planned Parenthood (founded by racist Margaret Sanger) will be there. Sanger wanted to create a super race through eugenics, like Hitler. There will be numerous Progressive groups & many different Democratic Socialist groups attending. Remember, those are communists without visible uniforms & guns. As Beck says, there are all these hand-in-hand very close associations but, it is absolutely inconceivable that a reporter ask if Obama is Socialist. He is beyond Socialist. Communist Party USA will be at the rally & is endorsed on Obama's own web site. The Peace & Freedom Party will be there. Their presidential candidate of 2004 is in prison for murdering 2 FBI agents. International Answer supports terror groups like Hamas & Hezbollah. They will be there, along with Campaign for America, Campaign for American Progress & MoveOn.Org, all of George Soros' funding. The Black Panthers just had a meeting with Iran's Ahmadinejad. I wonder what they talked about? The Gray Panthers (older & duller fangs) will be there. Their slogan is "People over Profits." The Ya Ya Network is coming at Obama's request. They are anti-military & into social justice. They advertise for & recruit 15-19 yr olds, actually asking for "trouble-makers" to hire. "Solidarity" is connected to Van Jones & Obama's anti-Jew & white- America Pastor, Jeremiah Wright. They'll be there with the Humanist Party that wants voting rights for illegals, & SLAP (Student Labor Action Project) seeking jobs for social economic justice. "Wishadoo" wants to do away with profit-only corporations - wants a mutual benefit cooperation system. This is the new direction that big union heads, like the AFL/CIO & SEIU are taking their members, and they'll be at the rally. The ISO logo is a clenched fist (Int'l Socialist Organ). They say, "Socialism is not only possible but worth fighting for. The ISO stands in the tradition of Marx, Lenin & Trotsky in the belief that workers themselves, the vast majority of the population are the only force that can lead the fight to win a socialist society. Socialism can't be brought about from above, but has to be won by workers themselves." All these evil scum-types (so unbelievably un-American) are the ones Obama calls out to, to put on a good show on 10/02/10. The show, One Nation Working Together is a LIE! Just another lie among many, but gargantuan & thoroughly evil. All these organized Marxists, Communist revolutionaries are gathering together at Obama's behest. His allies & supporters! As Glenn Beck says, "All Marxism & Communism have ever produced is mass graves." I despise everyone in every group listed here. They are unquestionably enemies of the United States and they are my president's chosen friends. At least they are somewhat open & honest (without pretence) in their twisted beliefs. Obama is a deliberate, deceitful liar, constantly conning the people that believed in him! Remember that catchy "Yes We Can" repeated chant that he orchestrated? Was that coincidence? It was right out of the Communist Party USA handbook! And the "People Before Profits" (Gray Panther slogan) was too. There are no more coincidences with Obama. And these Marxists & Communists are going all-out after our kids because they have never really seen these as the evil their grandparents know them to be. If they can by-pass us & "sell" our ignorant youth on guilt (excessivism, environmentalism, warming, fossil fuels, etc.) while omitting & re-writing history, we are all done. This is where they spend most all of their time & efforts - brainwashing our kids. Terrorist Bill Ayers teaches them in college & writes storyline coloring books for the very young. Evil George Soros financed the film "Story of Stuff" depicting America as a greedy bad nation. It's shown freely in over 4,000 of our schools so far. When the kids catch on - it will be too late!

47th Issue 09/15/10
Think of how rapidly the last 10 years of your life flew by. Now consider that in 10 fast years every single tax dollar will be spent on just these things: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the interest only on our debt! Think of all the many other things we must spend money on (Defense, Education, etc), then things we really want to spend money on. Now think of all that money we thoughtlessly just hand out and throw around on asinine Congressional pork and otherwise frivolous spending. We need a radical overhaul and jolt back to reality! Immediately - or there is NO tomorrow! The same dumba--es that take only months to destroy a nation - not even reading cataclysmic Bills costing hundreds of Billions that we don't even have, continue on without a hitch in their almighty arrogance. They were stupid and duped into passing so much crap on us, so fast it has doomed our future - all of us! Picture yourself and your family (as our nation now is) with no money and no credit. You would not, and could not keep spending. Printing dollars for even food & shelter (not frivolous) would put you & me in jail! But even a moron would stop buying candy & toys. Not Congress. They are childishly pretending this idiocy can go on. Grown-ups should know better. Most of Congress is just stupid, lazy, corrupt, inept and arrogant - not evil. But evil leads them around by their haughty noses easily because of all the aforementioned. Evil openly gushes from the writings & works of Richard Cloward & Frances Piven, & Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." Obama, Hillary, and all of their czars, staffs & friends like George Soros, Bill Ayers, Jeff Jones & Van Jones follow these teachings religiously & implement them everywhere to purposely collapse our U.S. economy & capitalism! That is their dastardly desire & intent, and the main media is with them. All that is Evil! Get that in your head, and the haste with many thousands of unread pages in Bills passed anyway, make some sort of sense. Throw in nationwide huge organization & power intimidation by corrupt ACORN & big Unions & it becomes even clearer yet. ACORN cajoles & dupes the illegal & poorest masses to invoke their voting power. Big Unions solicit the illegal workers & intimidate the non-union working class. Their democrat campaign payouts get them massive pension & health care gov't bailouts which wreak even more havoc on our economy. Gratitude engenders even more votes for power, plus organized attacks on opposition (or protests) with their media always in tow for maximum, visual propaganda effect. The "average Joe" American (not group-organized) cannot compete or even be heard in this environment. That is why neighborhood, community and state-wide Tea parties are of paramount importance! Our rage must remain at fever pitch to the day we vote. We must save this magnificent country from deliberate ruin!
It is comical that (of hundreds) all but about 30 democrats in the House voted for the vaunted Health Care Bill. If it was so great for the people why does not even one advocate seeking re-election declare proudly that they voted for it in their campaign ads? Five of those few democrats voting against it have proclaimed their "No" vote loudly & proudly. I remind you before you vote, of some facts that must periodically be reiterated, with the constant onslaught of deliberate distortions by Obama & his press. Like, when they say republicans are the party of "No" because they don't support some "Jobs" Bill or such presented. First, know that the only jobs Obama has intentions of increasing or "bettering" is taxpayer-funded gov't jobs - economy destroyers that also garner grateful votes - or powerful, persuasive Union jobs. Paybacks for bailouts of their lavish pensions & health care packages (compliments of upset taxpayers). These also beget huge blocks of votes. Dues stuff coffers for campaigns and they professionally organize & bus protesters or demonstrators to counter & intimidate. Disgruntled unorganized Americans strongly wanting to express displeasure with the direction their country is headed are outmatched - with a hostile media to boot. I'm talking about big industrial & service unions, teachers unions & gov't employee unions. The main lap-dog media supports all of this & bombards us with fabrications of facts & figures, or deliberate omissions. Secondly, the president (for instance) doesn't tell you about all the devious riders, pork & attachments that are tacked on or in every Bill that "sounds" good or has a good name on it. It is "sold" by Obama, Pelosi & Reid (and their press) to the gullible public as, no good sane person could be against this - which is noble in appearance only. Republicans that would vote "No" are publicly castigated. We must all remain resolute, steadfast and throw all these incumbent bums out - and I certainly mean every republican too, that took part in flipping us off. Just see how they voted. Nothing they say now matters. And confront every would-be prospect. Ask tough questions & demand straight answers. It is the one time they truly will listen. If you vote for a career politician because they have "experience" or know how the game is played, you are throwing your vote away, asking for business as usual. You must be sick of that! If they are not screaming out change to you - Constitution, small gov't, drastic spending cuts & balanced budget, avoid them like the plague. If you have to dig it out of them, they are chameleons (Obama Change) to whatever you want - until I get in. I've seen enough of lizards & snakes in D.C.! And when you do vote (like I say) you push someone & pull someone - meet & car pool. Don't blow it this time! Don't just "talk" a good game. Remain angry to the polls or this nation is lost. It is that damned serious! Wake up all your family & friends. Sound the alarm! Get them mad too. That's your job. This is mine. Help me to help you and others.
A March 2004 CNBC poll asked, "Should the words 'Under God' be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance?" 85%/15% said NO! A 2005 MSNBC poll asked, "Should the motto 'In God We Trust' be removed from U.S currency?" Over 18 million have responded, with 89% again "approving God!" In the immortal words of Al Gore, "The debate is over!" Unless, of course Obama sides with the 11% - and I'm certain he does.
A large part of Social Security's financial woes is due to the tripling of disability claims over the past 30 years. It jumped rediculously, up 21% in 2009 from 2008! New rules have people criminally milking the easy system. I see a lot of easy fixes that start with fumigation.
Our teaching cost per student in the U.S. averages about $17,000/yr/student, with a ridiculous high of $27,000 in New Jersey. They have 600 school districts with 600 Superintendents making at least $200,000/yr. North Carolina is much larger in size with the same number of students but has just 100 districts & high-paid Supers. Each Super has a $50,000 Sec'y that has a sec'y. My point is "teaching" is not the expense. Administrative (Union) costs suck up all the money we keep throwing at abysmal test scores. Our kids remain just as dumb graduating, and dropping out even dumber! Germany pays their teachers more than we and their kids are smarter on far less expense per kid. China & India's kids are really kicking our butts on smarts & spend a small fraction of what we do. Our system needs a major overhaul. It is full of Union Administrative waste that any idiot can see, if you could get the unconcerned idiots to look! They just bitch & argue, then give them more of our money, that the Unions eagerly hog up.
"Code Pink' co-founded by Jodie Evans & communist revolutionary Susan 'Medea' Benjamin is a terrorism supporter against America, and leading democratic activist group. More friends Obama plays with that you should know. Evans is a close friend of "Hanoi Jane" Fonda of Vietnam fame. Fonda was rightly despised by soldiers back in the late '60's for outrageous statements & numerous photo-ops with big-shots of the butchering enemy. Evans was also a top fund-raiser for Obama, and other radical leftists. Code Pink told Debbie Lee (mother of deceased Navy Seal Hero & Silver Star recipient) that her son, "deserved to die in Iraq if he was stupid enough to go over there." This is one of the disgusting things they do. Last December terrorist Hamas "guaranteed" their safety in Gaza for an anti-Israel march. Code Pink claims to have donated tens of thousands in "Aid" to them. Obama's other Weather Underground terrorist friends, Bill Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn joined them. Evans visited the White house a couple of times in June 2009 and delivered a letter to Obama from Hamas. Do you remember how hotly denied (when campaigning) any association with Bill Ayers was? The media cover-up? They were and still are, (with many common friends) practically brothers, as the close terrorist ties, and anti-Jew family keeps growing & growing. Code Pink is running banner advertising on the English version of the official web site of (terrorist sympathizers) "Muslim Brotherhood." They invite the Muslim Brotherhood to "Join us in cleansing our country." Another is titled, "Arrest the War Criminals" calling for the arrest of George W. Bush, even calling for the kidnapping of Bush & his wife, Laura. Code Pink is Obama's friend & ally. Muhammad Akef, prominent leader of the Brotherhood says the U.S. is "Satan" and, "I have complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America, because Islam has logic and a mission." Does that sound like a simple religion that just wants to "get along" to you? Or is it a disguised sinister prolific takeover mission? That ground zero Mosque is to trumpet their victory & dominance over America! Thinking otherwise is beyond naive. The architect of 9-11 was a Brotherhood member. Abdullah Azzam, mentor to Osama bin Laden was too. Anyway, California Att'y Gen, Jerry Brown (running for Governor & won't prosecute ACORN) readily accepted Code Pink's campaign blood money. He & Evans are long-time friends, and ACORN will now soon stuff his ballot box, as they did Obama's. Code Pink has a history of cozy relationships with bad people. They have been guests of Castro of Cuba, Chevez of Venezuela & that really slimy, Ahmadinejad of Iran. Code Pink sent over $600,000 to Fallujah terrorists, calling them "Freedom Fighting Heroes." Americans financing (in any way) those that are killing our soldiers should be tried & hung as traitors! Not friends of our politicians & president & guests at the WH. What's wrong with this country? How dense can my fellow Americans be? Has the press no shame at all?
I refresh a topic not written about since the Iraq war & their internal politics. All Muslims are "intolerant" of all non-Muslims. I refrained from saying "hate." Islam teaches (commands) this from the Koran (Qur'an). But they strongly "dislike" each other too. Shiite Muslims hate Sunni Muslims - sort of like sibling rivalries only with swords & heads chopped off. Iran is mostly Shiites - the Taliban is mostly Sunnis. They side like feuding brothers when either is threatened by an "outsider." Iran pays the Taliban a $1,000 Bounty for every U.S. soldier killed! One said, "The money we get is not dirty. It is for Jihad." I must interject my opinion here since we seem to always naively try to "understand and learn," why do they hate us? They just do, damn it! Why, matters not. They are fed this from elders and Koran from birth. They abhor Jews, from about the beginning of time - and Americans ever since we sympathized with the Jews' near extermination. But it is their intention to eventually wipe out any & all non-Muslims. When Muslims conquer a country there are 3 choices given to its inhabitants. You can convert to Islam, or you can accept slavery (submit & pay for protection) or you die! Maybe that's 2 real choices. There is no such thing as "moderate" Islam or Muslims. When push comes to shove they will pick Islam over any & every other choice. To disavow Islam (once you're in) is the death penalty! That will get you to believe, if only quietly. There are 1.5 Billion Muslims. If only one in a thousand wants to do us harm, it leaves 1.5 Million to be very wary of. They have been & are crossing over our loose borders. They pervade Europe with rapidly growing numbers. Ohmar Ahmed, founder of CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) said publicly, "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant - the only accepted religion on Earth." Islam is a religion that incites violence around the world. What other religion has its clerics, Imams or whatever leaders call for beheading of anyone (and their families) who so much as criticize their faith? They do it commonly, knowing they have many nut-case zealots eager to do their bidding - to gain favor and their blessing. They demean & oppress their women & commonly rape unbeliever's "whores" in Europe - if Islam men feel it is "deserved." Their preferred "Sharia" believes in bedding down with little girls and multiple wives through "legal" marriage. How will that go over with American law and mores? Do all Muslims of Islamic faith believe & act out this way? No, but a great many do, even while acclimating to Western ways. History shows they do it systematically & forcefully when they get to majority numbers. Multiple wives with lots & lots of children in cultures where little more than one child is the norm - it's just simple math & time. A great many on welfare can collapse you economically. Think of all this as we strike up that brass band for that opulent mosque on ground zero, where thousands of Americans were slaughtered. Don't you remember all those televised cheering throngs all over the mid-east, wildly celebrating our loved ones leaping to their deaths? The Hartford Conn City Council apparently doesn't. It has invited local Imams to open their Sept Council meetings with Muslim prayers. They never open their meetings with Christian prayers but wanted to show, "Solidarity for our Muslim brothers and sisters." I don't forget so easily.
Imam Rauf's close friend & associate, Faiz Khan is a 9-11 "Truther," like Van Jones, once Obama's Green Jobs Czar. Truthers claim the 9-11 horror was an "inside job," our gov't did it, not Al-Qaeda Muslims. Khan has preached at Rauf's GZ makeshift Mosque several times. This story that will not end gets ever darker the more we peer into it. The English version of Rauf's book differs greatly from that circulating the middle-east, which calls for (example) the spread of Islam from the "rubble" of the World Trade Center. How quickly (in translation) our thousands of innocent murdered citizens become "rubble." Mayor Bloomberg is a disgrace in his unwavering support of this farce. The prime minister of Turkey (our NATO ally and supposed "moderate" Muslim nation) Recep Erdogan describes Mosques this way, "The Mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the believers our army." Ah yes, religion of peace. He also denies the term moderate. He calls it, "very ugly, offensive and an insult to our religion." Yet Imam Rauf claims to be "moderate." Rauf & Kahn helped found ASMA (Amer Soc for Muslim Advance). Its NY office is on the same floor, adjacent to the CAIR suite. CAIR is very anti-America. It is a U.S. representative of terrorist Hamas, according to our U.S. Dept of Justice. But that was before Obama's Eric Holder headed-up the DOJ. Quite possibly that has changed. But it's no wonder Rauf wont denounce his very close neighbor, Hamas!
What do al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Taliban, Black Panthers & New Black Panthers all have in common? All want to kill Americans & Jews (some want to kill just white Americans) and all are Muslims, following the Koran & Islam teachings. I am especially sensitive every September. This "religion of peace" as they deceptively call Islam lies as loosely as Obama. That crackpot pastor in Florida that was going to burn Korans on 9-11 in protest (or whatever) to get attention did NOT burn them. Incidentally, turn it around (we are always supposed to do the "understanding"). They make a huge show of burning our Flags. They would cheer themselves hoarse & burn our Bibles by the ton if they could find any. They would film it, shout epithets and defy us to do something about it! That one nutty so-called pastor who just (free speech) "talked" got an immediate 10,000 enraged (televised) mob-scene over there screaming "Kill all Americans." Was this 10,000 instantly rounded-up terrorists, or just "peaceful" (10,000)local Islamics instantly enraged to kill us all? I opine, they are mostly all latent terrorists in Islam clothing - with a hair trigger. Now Imam Rauf says if he is forced to move his ground zero Mosque, that will incite outrage & violence all through the mid-east - seen as an attack on Islam. See a pattern here? Everything, even Danish humor is a perceived attack on the religion of peace, Islam! Any joke or cartoon, much less criticism, about anything Islam could cost you your head. So you see it virtually nowhere - worldwide. That's how intimidating they are. Think about it. Should we be concerned, or consider what is risked as we watch Muslim communities worldwide grow larger & larger? Why do they not assimilate in Europe or here? Why do they prefer to keep their own language & customs, & form little Muslim countries within the country of their supposed choice? Aren't new immigrants supposed to embrace their new land and opportunity for a fresh new start? Otherwise, why did they leave their homeland? That "why?" is unsettling indeed! If they scattered, became real neighbors and openly condemned terrorism like true Americans do, I would not be asking these questions.

It is comical that (of hundreds) all but about 30 democrats in the House voted for the vaunted Health Care Bill. If it was so great for the people why does not even one advocate seeking re-election declare proudly that they voted for it in their campaign ads? Five of those few democrats voting against it have proclaimed their "No" vote loudly & proudly. I remind you before you vote, of some facts that must periodically be reiterated, with the constant onslaught of deliberate distortions by Obama & his press. Like, when they say republicans are the party of "No" because they don't support some "Jobs" Bill or such presented. First, know that the only jobs Obama has intentions of increasing or "bettering" is taxpayer-funded gov't jobs - economy destroyers that also garner grateful votes - or powerful, persuasive Union jobs. Paybacks for bailouts of their lavish pensions & health care packages (compliments of upset taxpayers). These also beget huge blocks of votes. Dues stuff coffers for campaigns and they professionally organize & bus protesters or demonstrators to counter & intimidate. Disgruntled unorganized Americans strongly wanting to express displeasure with the direction their country is headed are outmatched - with a hostile media to boot. I'm talking about big industrial & service unions, teachers unions & gov't employee unions. The main lap-dog media supports all of this & bombards us with fabrications of facts & figures, or deliberate omissions. Secondly, the president (for instance) doesn't tell you about all the devious riders, pork & attachments that are tacked on or in every Bill that "sounds" good or has a good name on it. It is "sold" by Obama, Pelosi & Reid (and their press) to the gullible public as, no good sane person could be against this - which is noble in appearance only. Republicans that would vote "No" are publicly castigated. We must all remain resolute, steadfast and throw all these incumbent bums out - and I certainly mean every republican too, that took part in flipping us off. Just see how they voted. Nothing they say now matters. And confront every would-be prospect. Ask tough questions & demand straight answers. It is the one time they truly will listen. If you vote for a career politician because they have "experience" or know how the game is played, you are throwing your vote away, asking for business as usual. You must be sick of that! If they are not screaming out change to you - Constitution, small gov't, drastic spending cuts & balanced budget, avoid them like the plague. If you have to dig it out of them, they are chameleons (Obama Change) to whatever you want - until I get in. I've seen enough of lizards & snakes in D.C.! And when you do vote (like I say) you push someone & pull someone - meet & car pool. Don't blow it this time! Don't just "talk" a good game. Remain angry to the polls or this nation is lost. It is that damned serious! Wake up all your family & friends. Sound the alarm! Get them mad too. That's your job. This is mine. Help me to help you and others.
A March 2004 CNBC poll asked, "Should the words 'Under God' be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance?" 85%/15% said NO! A 2005 MSNBC poll asked, "Should the motto 'In God We Trust' be removed from U.S currency?" Over 18 million have responded, with 89% again "approving God!" In the immortal words of Al Gore, "The debate is over!" Unless, of course Obama sides with the 11% - and I'm certain he does.
A large part of Social Security's financial woes is due to the tripling of disability claims over the past 30 years. It jumped rediculously, up 21% in 2009 from 2008! New rules have people criminally milking the easy system. I see a lot of easy fixes that start with fumigation.
Our teaching cost per student in the U.S. averages about $17,000/yr/student, with a ridiculous high of $27,000 in New Jersey. They have 600 school districts with 600 Superintendents making at least $200,000/yr. North Carolina is much larger in size with the same number of students but has just 100 districts & high-paid Supers. Each Super has a $50,000 Sec'y that has a sec'y. My point is "teaching" is not the expense. Administrative (Union) costs suck up all the money we keep throwing at abysmal test scores. Our kids remain just as dumb graduating, and dropping out even dumber! Germany pays their teachers more than we and their kids are smarter on far less expense per kid. China & India's kids are really kicking our butts on smarts & spend a small fraction of what we do. Our system needs a major overhaul. It is full of Union Administrative waste that any idiot can see, if you could get the unconcerned idiots to look! They just bitch & argue, then give them more of our money, that the Unions eagerly hog up.
"Code Pink' co-founded by Jodie Evans & communist revolutionary Susan 'Medea' Benjamin is a terrorism supporter against America, and leading democratic activist group. More friends Obama plays with that you should know. Evans is a close friend of "Hanoi Jane" Fonda of Vietnam fame. Fonda was rightly despised by soldiers back in the late '60's for outrageous statements & numerous photo-ops with big-shots of the butchering enemy. Evans was also a top fund-raiser for Obama, and other radical leftists. Code Pink told Debbie Lee (mother of deceased Navy Seal Hero & Silver Star recipient) that her son, "deserved to die in Iraq if he was stupid enough to go over there." This is one of the disgusting things they do. Last December terrorist Hamas "guaranteed" their safety in Gaza for an anti-Israel march. Code Pink claims to have donated tens of thousands in "Aid" to them. Obama's other Weather Underground terrorist friends, Bill Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn joined them. Evans visited the White house a couple of times in June 2009 and delivered a letter to Obama from Hamas. Do you remember how hotly denied (when campaigning) any association with Bill Ayers was? The media cover-up? They were and still are, (with many common friends) practically brothers, as the close terrorist ties, and anti-Jew family keeps growing & growing. Code Pink is running banner advertising on the English version of the official web site of (terrorist sympathizers) "Muslim Brotherhood." They invite the Muslim Brotherhood to "Join us in cleansing our country." Another is titled, "Arrest the War Criminals" calling for the arrest of George W. Bush, even calling for the kidnapping of Bush & his wife, Laura. Code Pink is Obama's friend & ally. Muhammad Akef, prominent leader of the Brotherhood says the U.S. is "Satan" and, "I have complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America, because Islam has logic and a mission." Does that sound like a simple religion that just wants to "get along" to you? Or is it a disguised sinister prolific takeover mission? That ground zero Mosque is to trumpet their victory & dominance over America! Thinking otherwise is beyond naive. The architect of 9-11 was a Brotherhood member. Abdullah Azzam, mentor to Osama bin Laden was too. Anyway, California Att'y Gen, Jerry Brown (running for Governor & won't prosecute ACORN) readily accepted Code Pink's campaign blood money. He & Evans are long-time friends, and ACORN will now soon stuff his ballot box, as they did Obama's. Code Pink has a history of cozy relationships with bad people. They have been guests of Castro of Cuba, Chevez of Venezuela & that really slimy, Ahmadinejad of Iran. Code Pink sent over $600,000 to Fallujah terrorists, calling them "Freedom Fighting Heroes." Americans financing (in any way) those that are killing our soldiers should be tried & hung as traitors! Not friends of our politicians & president & guests at the WH. What's wrong with this country? How dense can my fellow Americans be? Has the press no shame at all?

46th Issue 09/01/10
Nancy Pelosi is one of the richest in Congress. How she made her fortune is not clear, but she clearly likes to spend taxpayer money. Her office rent alone is $225,000/year. She is powerful and manipulative, recently making a threatening statement about investigating the financing of those opposing the building of the ground-zero mosque, not those funding the mosque, saying it is merely a NY City zoning issue. She was angry because her thunder was being stolen on her announcing her latest triumph, prying Treasure Island (550 acres in San Fran Bay) from the Navy. She even got it decontaminated at taxpayer expense before the turnover. Under the guise of job creation and housing for 6000 families it is really a land grab for her Mayor cousin, Gavin Newsom's wealthy supporters, already with no-bid contractors to build condominiums. It is of the wealthy, by the wealthy and for the wealthy. Nancy's in the front, her son (and Newsom's cousin) in the middle (zoning) and her nephew at the end with developers. It is quite an incestuous relationship, too entangled to bore you with. Recently she raised $100,000 for the democrats at a dinner in Palm Beach. Her security, comprised of 12 capitol police, 4 Palm Beach cops, 2 sheriff's deputies and 2 police boats outnumbered the 18 guests. How much did WE pay to get her that money for democrat friends? Obama does the same, frequently flies all over, heavy security, sticking us with the tab to generate a comparatively few bucks for the party. Hard times for whom?
Pelosi doesn't care who is funding the mosque, even knowing Imam Rauf is cozy with terrorists and against America. Rauf wants this mosque ready for the 10th anniversary of the 9-11 mass murders. Who would NOT have punched this Imam in the nose if he had announced his plans on the 1st anniversary instead of the 9th? Have you really forgiven and forgotten those poor souls leaping to their deaths already? Let's explore more of Rauf, our emissary for Muslim goodwill & traveling the mid-east at taxpayer expense. He also owns taxpayer-subsidized apartment buildings. They are infested with rats, roaches & bedbugs, no heat or hot water, with urine-soaked hallways. NY City's defiant mayor says Rauf is a symbol of religious freedom & just had him & his wife for dinner at the mansion to honor Islam's Ramadan. Rauf just settled a fraud lawsuit and his developers owe hundreds of thousands in back taxes. And something is fishy about a man waiting tables a few years ago putting down nearly $5 Mil in cash to buy that building. Now financially distressed NY City is considering a grant of $70 Mil to build this monsterous symbol of Muslim victory & conquest. This is their historic custom, so I must suppose Rauf & his backers commiserate with bin-Laden and al-Qaeda. Can you hear the laughter of bin-Laden & all those Muslims in Iran, Syria, Libya, etc.? What gullible fools & idiots those pansy Americans are! Obama has just halted the prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorist al-Nashiri, planner of the USS Cole bombing killing 17 sailors. Our "Justice" Dept says, "No charges are either pending or contemplated in the near future." One military official said, "It's politics at this point." It always is with this patty-cake bunch. That's why they taunt us. Obama doesn't care. He could have kept that scummy Pan Am bomber who murdered 270 (mostly Americans) al-Megrahi from being released from that Scottish prison to a cheering hero's welcome in Libya - but he didn't. Again we were duped and treated like soft-in-the-head fools by Islamic Muslims on the world stage for their recruiting and amusement. Why did Obama recently apologize again to the lousy UN? All Muslims are not terrorists but I'll bet over 80% hate us, and that includes those over here.
The "Taj Mahal" of schools (most expensive in history) is now opening in bankrupt LA California costing taxpayers $578 Mil or $137,000/student. Elegant trimmings for a 50% dropout rate and 3000 laid-off teachers the last 2 yrs. Red velvet seats will surely boost those dismal graduation rates. This one surpasses 2 other schools totalling over $500 Mil just built. They have state of the art swimming pools and orchestra-pit auditoriums. Nothing's too good for our poor illegal kids and their pathetic educators. This is just 3 of 131 new schools being built to alleviate overcrowding, caused mostly by overrun Mexican borders. If 131 are truly needed and you're begging for Fed handouts, shouldn't you be trying to show a tiny bit of fiscal restraint? Not over a Billion dollars for just 3 schools! Is everyone nuts?! Add this lunacy to the $1.5 Mil salary of Bell, CA town manager and $1.6 Mil to town admin of nearby Vernon (100 residents). Trust me, far more will be unearthed if anyone bothers to dig. Outraged taxpayers must demand open books showing salaries, pensions and benefits of everyone at every level of gov't. Many are criminals and belong in prison - not just fired! Lonnie Franklin, "Grim Sleeper" serial killer was just arrested. He was a "permanently disabled" trash collector in L.A.. While collecting city wages plus disability (milking the system for 19 yrs) he murdered 10 women and hauled their bodies around with his "bad" shoulder. He will be paid over $1 Mil even while in prison. The very day he was "awarded" pay for life, he was arrested for grand theft auto. L.A. city employee pensions will shoot up over $800 Mil over the next 5 yrs. Non-workers, retiring early and living long lives. Add in health care and it goes from $1.4 Bil to $2.2 Bil in 2015, & on & on as many more board the gravy train. 80 cents out of every CA gov't dollar already goes to gov't employment wages & benefits. They can retire at 55 with a guaranteed $1 Mil in retirement savings, boosted each yr for inflation. Double that gravy if husband & wife are both "public servants!" California (one stupid state) has over a half-trillion (and growing) indebtedness to non-working retired employees. Being bankrupt also doesn't keep them from "borrowing" $360-500 Mil to refurbish "death row" facilities at San Quentin, at the same time laying off guards for lack of funds! Give these dummies not one more nickel !
Is Obama Muslim/Islamic or Christian? Much is being made of 20% in polls believing he is Muslim. Instinct? Mainstream news blasts FOX News and Glenn Beck for poisoning minds - creating doubt. First, he had zero presidency chance as a Muslim! He says he is Christian and has 20 yrs of racist anti-America, anti-Israel affiliation with radical Rev Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity Church to show us. Trinity is sort of Christian but readily accepts Muslims that are also anti-America, anti-Jew. Good cloak to wear. Obama readily shows aversion for Christmas
events & displays, privately shows no religious church practice (says he doesn't want to tie-up traffic {security} but publicly parties - a lot) and he ordered all military to cancel countless Christian & patriotic observances honored by all presidents before him! Christian? Get real! What Obama says and what he does are totally different once again. This steady diet of public contradictions he feeds us is not the manner of a forthright, honest man. Chicanery in a president who lauds "transparency" and has a lap-dog media as a propaganda machine that wont tell on him, should chill you. I know not for an absolute fact, what he is or who he is. As my president & leader of the free world that is frightening. Now, what I do know. His official website (11-12-07) says, "Obama has never been a Muslim, and is a committed Christian." His father's total family was devout Muslim, as were his mother & step-father. He never was? He rebelled? Bull! Barack was until Michelle & ambition dictated another course. His grooming began in earnest. Many past friends witnessed him many times in sarongs reciting the Quran in school - fully studying & worshipping Islam. His 3rd grade teacher said his essay titled "My Dream" said, "I want to be a president." In 1971 he was enrolled as Barry Soetoro, Muslim, in Besuki Primary School, Indonesia. He later studied "mengaji." This is like advanced Quran. The school taught Islam! Obama is adored by the Muslim Indonesian people & press - as one of their own. They downplay his so-called conversion using the term "mengaku" meaning "claimed." He "claims" to be Christian. They see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam. Quite frankly, so do I. You can "believe" like Obama - whatever works for you. Indonesians can easily see this lying, charming chameleon for what he is. Why can't so very many Americans? Because the press that should be revealing all this works only for him. The internet still exposes facts and sources. That's why Obama is so bent on shutting it down!
I speak often of Obama's friend and heavy contributor, multi-billionaire (evil) George Soros - probably the dirtiest abhorrent capitalist in the world. I thought Barack was against capitalism. Soros said, "The main obstacle to a just world order is the U.S." Hungarian Jew, Gyorgy Schwartz became George Soros, as his father tried to hide from the Nazis. George killed & robbed his own people, pointing them out to Nazis in 1944, which Soros said was, "the best year of my life." Almost half a million Hungarian Jews were exterminated in 1944. Soros said he "enjoyed the absolute power." Ruthless and amoral, he learned quickly on Wall St about currency speculation & power manipulation. In 1992 he made his first billion shorting the British pound with billions in leveraged bets. He became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. British citizens were nearly destroyed overnight. He has since preyed upon (destroying) smaller, weaker country's economies where he is despised as a "planetary parasite." Soros: "World financial crisis is stimulating, in a way, the culmination of my life's work." Obama's blood-sucking & murderous friend! And huge financial backer. He owns (or has financially obligated to him) over 520 influence-peddling media & propaganda entities to "influence" public opinion & most probably, "public servants." It serves him and Obama well. When our economy is on the ropes & Obama fights our off-shore drilling here he mysteriously "loans" $10 Bil to Petrobras (Brazilian Oil) for their drilling - shortly after Soros invests heavily in Petrobras. Is that a bold & open incongruous payback that screams "vulgar corruption" between our president and an international vicious slimeball crook? And without a media murmur? Just before it happened (2008) Soros was quoted as saying, "I think we need a large stimulus package." He said about $600 Bil would be about right. Was he a prophet, or an advisor? He met with Obama frequently, even though a scoundrel and an odious damnation in a dozen countries.
Glenn Beck had about half a million peaceful & serene demonstrators show up on a very hot august day in D.C.. They were not political or rowdy - boring to a hostile media. They left no litter or burning cars behind, yet were still an enigma to the mainstream press. Some attacked them anyway. Some ignored that mass of humanity since they couldn't really find something objectionable, even though they hate Beck. Howard Dean, once head of the Democrat Nat Conven and presidential candidate was nearly apoplectic but Obama was blase, hardly noticing all those people or giving significance to this "happening" in his own back yard.
Two Muslim flyers obviously on a "bombing dry-run" flight from Chicago to Amsterdam were arrested in Holland. They had a box-cutter (like used on 9-11) a knife and cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismal bottle in their baggage, also a bunch of watches taped together & $7,000 cash. But they got on with no problem. They were detected later only because they raised flags by changing their flight to Holland. When the bomb is real, those following them will know to not do that. Lucky again! Feel secure? When they are successful will Muslims build a mosque where the biggest piece of plane & carnage falls to earth? Isn't the far-left's sudden vociferous outcry for religious freedom comical? Islam, yes. Christianity? Not as long as we have the ACLU representing those Civil Liberties.
Unintended consequences abound in everything Obama's gov't gets its fingers into. The more gov't regulates or manages, the more costs get passed on, on top of the extra costs in "the managing." The Cash for Clunkers program was to "help" people afford a car. Those perfectly good used cars were destroyed. Now used cars are scarce and it costs those needing "cheap" transportation 30% more than before our gov't "helped." Health insurance costs are now soaring. The new "rules" say you can wait and buy the insurance when you get sick. When you're well you can cancel payments until you or your kids are sick again. Duh! Of course those costs will now jump up as insurance companies try to make sense of such idiotic regulations and remain solvent. Gov't & politicians may well be stupid & not read Bills but not the users & providers. Gov't regulates Finance, fees go up & new charges appear to customers. Crack down on Credit Card companies - interest rates shoot up (highest in 10 yrs) for those newly accepted & with lower limits allowed. Things get worse every time gov't "helps" or regulates anything. Politicians just see "worse" as a need for tougher regulations!
Do you get tired of B.I.O.B (blame it on Bush)? Bush certainly left much to be desired (fiscally too) but nearly 2 years later it gets old. It seems to be, "Bush screwed things up so badly, even Obama can't fix it!" Or, our economic woes are all because of the huge deficit inherited from Bush - if you believe Obama and his personal press. Budgets come from Congress, folks! Civics 101. All the President can do is veto it. That brings us to the Democratic party, Pelosi & Reid - ever since Jan 2007. They controlled the pursestrings of fiscal yrs 2008-2011. The last deficit "inherited" was 2007 (lowest in 5 yrs & 4th straight decline). It was less than $200 Bil. In 2008 Democrats more than doubled that to over $400 Bil. Obama voted for this and the asinine out of control $1.85 Trill for 2009! This yr & next promise to be really special too. Pelosi (not Bush) deserves the credit- all of you in the media, and Obama vetoes no spending!
Cuba is now bringing in China & Russia (our good buddies) to drill for oil 60 miles off Key West. Will they give us a discount on our oil? Shipping costs should be cheap. Obama says we can't drill. I am sure they must have tougher anti-spill, polution standards than we do. I hope so because I know which way the Gulf Stream flows. Can Miami & the East Coast sue for oil slicks?
Pelosi doesn't care who is funding the mosque, even knowing Imam Rauf is cozy with terrorists and against America. Rauf wants this mosque ready for the 10th anniversary of the 9-11 mass murders. Who would NOT have punched this Imam in the nose if he had announced his plans on the 1st anniversary instead of the 9th? Have you really forgiven and forgotten those poor souls leaping to their deaths already? Let's explore more of Rauf, our emissary for Muslim goodwill & traveling the mid-east at taxpayer expense. He also owns taxpayer-subsidized apartment buildings. They are infested with rats, roaches & bedbugs, no heat or hot water, with urine-soaked hallways. NY City's defiant mayor says Rauf is a symbol of religious freedom & just had him & his wife for dinner at the mansion to honor Islam's Ramadan. Rauf just settled a fraud lawsuit and his developers owe hundreds of thousands in back taxes. And something is fishy about a man waiting tables a few years ago putting down nearly $5 Mil in cash to buy that building. Now financially distressed NY City is considering a grant of $70 Mil to build this monsterous symbol of Muslim victory & conquest. This is their historic custom, so I must suppose Rauf & his backers commiserate with bin-Laden and al-Qaeda. Can you hear the laughter of bin-Laden & all those Muslims in Iran, Syria, Libya, etc.? What gullible fools & idiots those pansy Americans are! Obama has just halted the prosecution of al-Qaeda terrorist al-Nashiri, planner of the USS Cole bombing killing 17 sailors. Our "Justice" Dept says, "No charges are either pending or contemplated in the near future." One military official said, "It's politics at this point." It always is with this patty-cake bunch. That's why they taunt us. Obama doesn't care. He could have kept that scummy Pan Am bomber who murdered 270 (mostly Americans) al-Megrahi from being released from that Scottish prison to a cheering hero's welcome in Libya - but he didn't. Again we were duped and treated like soft-in-the-head fools by Islamic Muslims on the world stage for their recruiting and amusement. Why did Obama recently apologize again to the lousy UN? All Muslims are not terrorists but I'll bet over 80% hate us, and that includes those over here.
The "Taj Mahal" of schools (most expensive in history) is now opening in bankrupt LA California costing taxpayers $578 Mil or $137,000/student. Elegant trimmings for a 50% dropout rate and 3000 laid-off teachers the last 2 yrs. Red velvet seats will surely boost those dismal graduation rates. This one surpasses 2 other schools totalling over $500 Mil just built. They have state of the art swimming pools and orchestra-pit auditoriums. Nothing's too good for our poor illegal kids and their pathetic educators. This is just 3 of 131 new schools being built to alleviate overcrowding, caused mostly by overrun Mexican borders. If 131 are truly needed and you're begging for Fed handouts, shouldn't you be trying to show a tiny bit of fiscal restraint? Not over a Billion dollars for just 3 schools! Is everyone nuts?! Add this lunacy to the $1.5 Mil salary of Bell, CA town manager and $1.6 Mil to town admin of nearby Vernon (100 residents). Trust me, far more will be unearthed if anyone bothers to dig. Outraged taxpayers must demand open books showing salaries, pensions and benefits of everyone at every level of gov't. Many are criminals and belong in prison - not just fired! Lonnie Franklin, "Grim Sleeper" serial killer was just arrested. He was a "permanently disabled" trash collector in L.A.. While collecting city wages plus disability (milking the system for 19 yrs) he murdered 10 women and hauled their bodies around with his "bad" shoulder. He will be paid over $1 Mil even while in prison. The very day he was "awarded" pay for life, he was arrested for grand theft auto. L.A. city employee pensions will shoot up over $800 Mil over the next 5 yrs. Non-workers, retiring early and living long lives. Add in health care and it goes from $1.4 Bil to $2.2 Bil in 2015, & on & on as many more board the gravy train. 80 cents out of every CA gov't dollar already goes to gov't employment wages & benefits. They can retire at 55 with a guaranteed $1 Mil in retirement savings, boosted each yr for inflation. Double that gravy if husband & wife are both "public servants!" California (one stupid state) has over a half-trillion (and growing) indebtedness to non-working retired employees. Being bankrupt also doesn't keep them from "borrowing" $360-500 Mil to refurbish "death row" facilities at San Quentin, at the same time laying off guards for lack of funds! Give these dummies not one more nickel !
Is Obama Muslim/Islamic or Christian? Much is being made of 20% in polls believing he is Muslim. Instinct? Mainstream news blasts FOX News and Glenn Beck for poisoning minds - creating doubt. First, he had zero presidency chance as a Muslim! He says he is Christian and has 20 yrs of racist anti-America, anti-Israel affiliation with radical Rev Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity Church to show us. Trinity is sort of Christian but readily accepts Muslims that are also anti-America, anti-Jew. Good cloak to wear. Obama readily shows aversion for Christmas
events & displays, privately shows no religious church practice (says he doesn't want to tie-up traffic {security} but publicly parties - a lot) and he ordered all military to cancel countless Christian & patriotic observances honored by all presidents before him! Christian? Get real! What Obama says and what he does are totally different once again. This steady diet of public contradictions he feeds us is not the manner of a forthright, honest man. Chicanery in a president who lauds "transparency" and has a lap-dog media as a propaganda machine that wont tell on him, should chill you. I know not for an absolute fact, what he is or who he is. As my president & leader of the free world that is frightening. Now, what I do know. His official website (11-12-07) says, "Obama has never been a Muslim, and is a committed Christian." His father's total family was devout Muslim, as were his mother & step-father. He never was? He rebelled? Bull! Barack was until Michelle & ambition dictated another course. His grooming began in earnest. Many past friends witnessed him many times in sarongs reciting the Quran in school - fully studying & worshipping Islam. His 3rd grade teacher said his essay titled "My Dream" said, "I want to be a president." In 1971 he was enrolled as Barry Soetoro, Muslim, in Besuki Primary School, Indonesia. He later studied "mengaji." This is like advanced Quran. The school taught Islam! Obama is adored by the Muslim Indonesian people & press - as one of their own. They downplay his so-called conversion using the term "mengaku" meaning "claimed." He "claims" to be Christian. They see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam. Quite frankly, so do I. You can "believe" like Obama - whatever works for you. Indonesians can easily see this lying, charming chameleon for what he is. Why can't so very many Americans? Because the press that should be revealing all this works only for him. The internet still exposes facts and sources. That's why Obama is so bent on shutting it down!
I speak often of Obama's friend and heavy contributor, multi-billionaire (evil) George Soros - probably the dirtiest abhorrent capitalist in the world. I thought Barack was against capitalism. Soros said, "The main obstacle to a just world order is the U.S." Hungarian Jew, Gyorgy Schwartz became George Soros, as his father tried to hide from the Nazis. George killed & robbed his own people, pointing them out to Nazis in 1944, which Soros said was, "the best year of my life." Almost half a million Hungarian Jews were exterminated in 1944. Soros said he "enjoyed the absolute power." Ruthless and amoral, he learned quickly on Wall St about currency speculation & power manipulation. In 1992 he made his first billion shorting the British pound with billions in leveraged bets. He became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. British citizens were nearly destroyed overnight. He has since preyed upon (destroying) smaller, weaker country's economies where he is despised as a "planetary parasite." Soros: "World financial crisis is stimulating, in a way, the culmination of my life's work." Obama's blood-sucking & murderous friend! And huge financial backer. He owns (or has financially obligated to him) over 520 influence-peddling media & propaganda entities to "influence" public opinion & most probably, "public servants." It serves him and Obama well. When our economy is on the ropes & Obama fights our off-shore drilling here he mysteriously "loans" $10 Bil to Petrobras (Brazilian Oil) for their drilling - shortly after Soros invests heavily in Petrobras. Is that a bold & open incongruous payback that screams "vulgar corruption" between our president and an international vicious slimeball crook? And without a media murmur? Just before it happened (2008) Soros was quoted as saying, "I think we need a large stimulus package." He said about $600 Bil would be about right. Was he a prophet, or an advisor? He met with Obama frequently, even though a scoundrel and an odious damnation in a dozen countries.
Glenn Beck had about half a million peaceful & serene demonstrators show up on a very hot august day in D.C.. They were not political or rowdy - boring to a hostile media. They left no litter or burning cars behind, yet were still an enigma to the mainstream press. Some attacked them anyway. Some ignored that mass of humanity since they couldn't really find something objectionable, even though they hate Beck. Howard Dean, once head of the Democrat Nat Conven and presidential candidate was nearly apoplectic but Obama was blase, hardly noticing all those people or giving significance to this "happening" in his own back yard.
Two Muslim flyers obviously on a "bombing dry-run" flight from Chicago to Amsterdam were arrested in Holland. They had a box-cutter (like used on 9-11) a knife and cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismal bottle in their baggage, also a bunch of watches taped together & $7,000 cash. But they got on with no problem. They were detected later only because they raised flags by changing their flight to Holland. When the bomb is real, those following them will know to not do that. Lucky again! Feel secure? When they are successful will Muslims build a mosque where the biggest piece of plane & carnage falls to earth? Isn't the far-left's sudden vociferous outcry for religious freedom comical? Islam, yes. Christianity? Not as long as we have the ACLU representing those Civil Liberties.

45th Issue 08/15/10
I would like to re-visit the righteous Shirley Sherrod firing by the White House, through the USDA. Dept of Agriculture Dir, Tom Vilsack and Shirley have an untold little secret before he suddenly fired her. No one in the media but Tom Blumer of the Washington Examiner has looked into her past and their relationship. I started digging, feeling something was fishy in this suddenness by all. Why no curiosity in the national media (even FOX News) in this matter other than Blumer over a month ago? Sherrod quickly blamed FOX and the Tea Party for her firing. How asinine is that? She is axed by the WH but does them a favor by blaming the Tea Party. What a ridiculous stretch of credulity. She calls them both racists! That "race card" is getting damned tiresome - like "crying wolf" all the time. I expect Maxine Waters and Charles Rangel (ethically challenged) are next. A whole lot of "whites" put Obama in power. Now wanting a "do-over," did they suddenly become racists? Blumer's article showed Sherrod was hired by Sec'y of Agr, Tom Vilsack on July 25, 2009 (Obama's reign) as Georgia Director for Rural Dev't. Only days earlier she and her husband, through a group they founded (New Communities) won a $13 mill minority-farmers' lawsuit - Pigford vs Vilsack! So those were her "qualifications" - part of the settlement. Now she is deciding if she wants to accept her new promotion - a pain & suffering apology, I suppose. The $13 mill was divided equally among the plaintiffs but Sherrod and her husband each got an extra $150,000, and the nifty new job of course, a few days later. If Vilsack had to hire her, it might explain that very quick firing. The Pigford case (I'm sure you've never heard of) has already cost taxpayers over $1 Bill in settling to almost 16,000 black farmers for racial discrimination by the USDA. Another $1.15 Bill in awards is before Congress for approval right now. Another 80,000 claimants are now showing up to claim "racial discrimination" by the USDA. There were only 26,785 black farmers operating back in 1997 when this suit began. It was figured maybe 3,000 would qualify. One source said many appear to have been solicited in an attempt to "game" the Pigford system. Really? Stuff happens when trial lawyers get wind of big easy money. Nowhere is it easier than plucking "Big Bird" - the American gov't Eagle. Shirley Sherrod is not an innocent victim. She's made out very well, even as a media-darling in a racial ploy by Obama and his press to discredit FOX News and Tea Partys. Her story is, "she saw the light" - then immediately screamed "racism!"
On his 49th birthday, Obama partied with Oprah and Chicago mobster old buddies at fund-raising dinners, one at $30,000 a plate where no press was allowed - "transparency" indeed. John Kass of the Chicago Tribune points out that Alexi Giannoulias (basketball buddy of Obama's) and also on the fast-track (like Obama - no experience) is running for Obama's old Senate seat. Alexi could use the campaign cash and is thick with Tony Rezko (who gave Obama a sweetheart deal on their palatial home and adjoining property. Rezko couldn't make the party. He's awaiting sentencing for political influence peddling plus other pending trials. One is bouncing $450,000 in checks against Broadway Bank - now bankrupt and costing taxpayers $390 Mill. Broadway was owned by the Giannoulias' family. They also loaned a Rezko business $22 Mill. You need to know Obama's roots, old friends & family, from whence he emanated and likes to bring into the fold whenever he can. That "family" bank also loaned $27.7 Mill to felons for "street loans" called hard-money lending, no paperwork involved! This while Alexi was chief loan officer. The felon-loan beneficiaries were mobsters Michael "Jaws" Giorango and Demitri Stavropoulos. Giorango was convicted for bookmaking twice and a nationwide prostitution ring. Stavropoulos was convicted of an illegal sports betting operation. Paroled, he is now a "consultant" at PoleKatz Gentleman's Club (strip joint) in Bridgeview, where he makes $260,000 a year part-time to "advise." Advice you can't refuse? How deep and dark is this cesspool that keeps regurgitating more putrid relationships? This banking "experience" got Alexi his present job, State Treasurer, kind of like tax-evader Timmy of the US Treasury. Obama was State Senator then, vouched for and supported mob-banker Alexi for State Treas. I'm sure ACORN, Unions and the Mob itself pitched in. Once in, Alexi pledged $100,000 to, and supported Obama in HIS run for US Senate. Now Obama is in, all the way to President, and reaches back to help Alexi get his old Senate seat! Mobsters have now come out of the closet.
How many times do the people of America have to be slapped in the face (State by State) by this left-controlled administration? Louisiana is devastated by an oil spill but begs Obama to NOT suspend drilling, killing even more jobs. Obama does it anyway. A judge rules against his 6 mon moratorium, he ignores the judgment as well as the people. Arizona lives in fear and wants federal enforcement of immigration laws - nothing. A big majority then supports State enforcement. Obama, the Dept of Justice and Mexico say Arizonans have no right to protect themselves by enforcing written laws. All U.S. citizens have to produce I.D. You have instant problems if you can't. If you're a speeding Mexican (maybe can't even speak English or read highway safety signs) you don't have to produce I.D.? If no I.D. or Mexican I.D., an officer can't even question them? Can they detain them without being sued, or hold them for ICE (immigration) who doesn't want them? Writing them a ticket is a waste of time, paper & ink. What idiot is in charge? Now, gay marriage in California was voted down by 7 million people. They were told basically to "shut up," overturned by one leftist gay judge. One rare time "the people" get to vote on something and they are insulted, reminded of their insignificance by those in power! In April, Congressman Phil Hare said he didn't care about the Constitution when it came to health care. Pete Stark of Calif also showed his arrogance and scorn for our Constitution saying matter-of-factly, "The Fed Gov't can do most anything in this country." He didn't even know what E-Verify is (when asked) in a state with millions of illegals. It's simply a 99% accurate verification of citizenship for employers to use, eliminating the "I didn't know" excuse. But arrogance with ignorance, from the same mouths (in power) is scary indeed.
Here is where a goodly sum of Stimulus money is going - license-plate recognition technology. The Gov of Maryland is spending $2 Mill Fed grant money (from all of us taxpayers) to double the amount of roadside & mobile spy cameras he presently has. The data is collected at a "fusion center" accessible to gov't bureaucrats. Big brother is watching your every move by car. Speed cameras and red-light cameras matched to your license plate snapshots are within seconds cross-referenced to "wanted" lists, time, date and GPS coordinates. They can store this info for years. They say this will deter crime, target the bad guys, but they'll soon do as in England - ticket you for seat-belt or cell-phone use violations, for fast & easy local revenue, kind of a bonus benefit. Already local gov'ts use Google overhead maps to snoop and find out who put in a swimming pool or added on without permits. This is just starting. Our nanny-state mentality is sold as "doing good" to force it upon us but will have no limits. We know too much sun is not good. Sunscreen is hard to see and enforce, but will we be fined (taxed) if we don't wear a hat? Spy cameras will show no hat, or if you're smoking. I know very soon half the states will have outlawed smoking in cars, with kids present. Michigan just outlawed smoking in all public places. The smoking section became "outdoors," even in winter. Now, bars with fenced-in open-sky property cannot allow you to smoke even outdoors if you're drinking beer! I haven't smoked in over 30 years but can see "power-by-stupid" is out of control! Spy cameras are something Obama and his control-freak cronies can really sink their teeth into. He will get this nationwide using our own tax dollars against us. Add this to the fact the FBI under Obama is getting looser with the law and our rights, and bolder. They don't need to bother with the inconvenience of court-ordered search warrants if they decide it's in the nation's security interests, and that definition gets looser by the day. Recently (it will be changed) they had a life-sentenced major D.C. drug dealer's conviction thrown out because they used a tracking device on his jeep without a warrant. The ACLU jumped on this "technicality." For laughs, do you think the ACLU would be there for you or me? Only if our fate outraged drug dealers, and had their clout. Today's Patriot Act allows the FBI to write their own search warrant, serve it to you and arrest you if you so much as tell anyone about it, even your own spouse in the other room, or a lawyer! You will be entirely alone and at the mercy of the gov't! My point is, those in power ignore our Constitution, bypass Congress when not agreeable, and are cunningly inserting binding restrictions/controls on our personal behavior in numerous (seemingly innocuous) Bills and legislation no one reads. All this is lying in wait, as surveillance technology to monitor our every move is being put in place. Do YOU feel comfortable with these people in charge having these capabilities? Why are they persisting and pursuing this authority over us? And why is our media in quiet acceptance? You should be scared to death! The noose is tightening. History has shown repeatedly, latent power only lies in wait for the ideal time and tyrant. Believe me, both are very near!
For those uncertain of how this financial collapse came about I offer this quick synopsis. The Fed gov't (Clinton era) set out to give home ownership to low-income people. Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac expedited this by buying up (guaranteeing) these mortgages from original lenders. Lenders made rapid reckless loans (no money down) and no proof of income required ("liars loans") because they could dump them immediately on Fan & Fred. Hot shots also jumped in, speculating on ever-rising housing prices by only needing to make monthly payments. The bubble burst when ridiculous house prices fell hard. Naturally, people stopped making payments on houses worth much less than when they "purchased" them. They had no "skin" in the game. The buyer (guilty of avarice) didn't lose. The lender (accomplice to fraud) didn't lose. Fan & Fred (guilty of stupid stewardship by Barney Frank & Chris Dodd) didn't lose. Innocent taxpayers (as always) lost! Huge! Forced to bail out F&F. Frank & Dodd kept saying everything's fine and encouraged more lending. They still promote no money down loans. F&F just lost $5.9 Bill in the 2nd qtr. They're not regulated now, so they can continue the same bad practices (risky loans to the poor) with limitless bailouts.
So, Imam Rauf who calls his mega-Mosque "Cordoba Initiative" on ground zero, is traveling to the mid-east with a group, all expenses paid by taxpayers. Cordoba, Spain watched a victorious Muslim army build a mosque on the ruins of their church. This is victorious tradition! Obama now welcomes this mosque and has said Islam's call to worship is the most beautiful sound he's heard. Thousands of murdered souls will hear it often. This Imam is for Sharia law that stones, abuses and kills their women, says America brought the 9-11 attacks upon themselves, wants restrictions on freedom of speech, refuses to denounce terrorist Hamas and is involved with the group that helped the Jihad flotilla against Israel. But so is Bill Ayers & his wife and Rashid Khalidi (Obama's friend) tied to that same group. Khalidi sympathizes with Palestinian terrorists & Hamas and has asked for Muslim funds for another flotilla to ram the Israeli blockade of Hamas & Gaza. The name of the new ship is "Audacity of Hope" - the title of Obama's book! What does that say? Israel is blocking shipped arms & munitions to Gaza, nothing else. Gaza is NOT starving. It has a large new robust shopping mall with well-stocked shelves and bustling activity. Hamas uses media to serve them, just as Obama does. Why wouldn't we want to pay for Raul to tour and speak for us?
Christobal Silverio came illegally from Mexico in 1997, bringing his wife, Felipa and 3 children (19, 12, 8). Felipa gave birth to a premature "anchor baby" named Flor, who spent 3 months in an incubator, costing taxpayers over $300,000. Meanwhile, their 19 year old daughter & her illegal husband produced her own "anchor baby." Grandma Felipa created another "anchor baby," Christian. He gets $400/mon welfare & Flor gets $600 (asthma). That is $12,000/yr tax free to go with $18,000 (too little to tax) from picking fruit. Add in earned income tax credit of at least $5,000 and you have tax-free income of over $35,000 plus whatever other assistance and free medical care. That is how simply it is worked. Of 2300 babies born (2003) in Stockton, Calif, 70% were anchor babies. Any wonder Stockton is $23 Mill in the hole? Harry (groveling) Reid just said, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a republican." And I add, why would they live in Mexico?
The whole city-employee complex of Bell, Calif (37,000) belongs in prison for giving themselves outrageous salaries. That they're all democrats may be coincidental. Example, City Manager's $787,637 salary plus benefits totaling $1.5 Mill! Vacation & sick leave = 7 mon/yr! Lifelong pension $600,000/yr! It is portrayed in the media as an anomaly. It is not. It is the iceberg tip of entitlement and greed running rampant through this society, especially at all levels of gov't! Someone (Bell) is always at the front in extremism. But, all over in cities and counties this cancer is spreading like wildfire - loose taxpayer money, no one watching or caring, no punishment if (or when) caught and the rationalization, "everyone's doing it!" extreme Calif first perhaps, but not alone. The more you dig in a political dung-heap, the more you uncover and the worse it smells. That's why politicians don't cast stones and wont even touch shovels.. With an uncaring media the taxpayers are always the last to know. Look at what Barney Frank & Chris Dodd did, hiding their disgraceful "overseeing" of Fannie & Freddie. These jerks are the major cause of our unholy mess today. I could forgive their stupidity, not their criminal cover-up! Congress disgraced itself with this Finance Regulatory Bill and STILL no controls on F & F - who started it all. Plus, they ran home on Christmas Eve after slipping F&F a limitless cap that will cost us Trillions! These "public servants" serve only themselves. They get twice the wages and perks of those they "serve" at even the lowest level jobs. All of those people in Bell, Calif (Council, Police & Fire) are not evil. The present, perverse, pervading atmosphere (unchecked) IS evil! Unwieldy Fed gov't spending (like a drunkard) sets the loose standards others will follow. The Fed gov't sent $200 Bill Stimulus to the States. No jobs were created. The States now have their hands out again, as I said they would. Obama will dole it out periodically and strategically just before people vote & donate. It is $26 Bill right now to "save" teacher, firemen, and police jobs if you believe the media. It is to pay their Unions. WE are paying for their masses of lavish pensions & early retirements. A study by the Pew Center (aptly named) said that as of 2 yrs ago the States are SHORT One Trillion dollars (others say up to $3 Trill) of what is "promised" in Union retirees' pensions & health care, and the ability of the States to pay! Until this gaffe is acknowledged by gov't Unions and their retirees (and they all suck it up) there can be no REAL recovery. And there will be no more "smoke & mirrors." WE (the public) finally know about you - no thanks to the damned media! The "Golden Goose" is dead! You cooked your own, but you cooked ours too, you greedy fools!
One can be sadly entertained by reading the posted lists of stupid spending in the ridiculous name of stimulus or job creations. There is neither promise nor pretence of changing their spending ways or accountability anymore. It is just "in your face" defiance - throwing it away frivolously, whenever I want, to whomever I want, it seems. GM (Gov't Motors) is investing $500 Mill to produce a new vehicle and engines IN Mexico. Tax dollars to employ all Mexicans. At least it keeps them over there, right? Why is the Teacher's Union in Wisconsin fighting for taxpayer-funded Viagra when hundreds of their teachers are being laid-off? Has any president and family in history had more vacation and "fun" time than the Obama's? One ostentatious display after another as the nation suffers. WE tighten our belts. No one in Congress does, and the presidency lives extra high. Where is even the appearance of empathy? Polling says the people thinking the economy is getting better is 21% - worse 52% (2.5 : 1)! I'll bet that misguided "1" is gov't-paid from our taxed funds. In the midst of this loose, spending-frenzy it is important to differentiate between those that cannot help themselves, and those that just will not help themselves. The latter is the crux of the problem.
Maxine Waters got (by special request) $12 Mill in TARP funds for failing One United Bank. She and her husband were heavily invested in its stock. He was on the Board. One United invested poorly, compensated top dogs lavishly & was going under. $12 Mill rescued them long enough to maybe cash-in revitalized stocks. They did contribute well to her campaign. Ethics?
We have recommended Education Budget Cuts for "niche programs" being considered. They want to restrict the teachings of: American History, Civics (rights & duties of citizens), U.S. Constitution/Bill of rights, and Economics! To keep them ignorant is to keep them obedient. The NEA (Teacher's Union) at the same time has on its list of student-recommended reading, several of Saul Alinsky's books, like "Rules for Radicals" - Barack's & Hillary's personal favorite. Our future looks great! We're in good hands.

On his 49th birthday, Obama partied with Oprah and Chicago mobster old buddies at fund-raising dinners, one at $30,000 a plate where no press was allowed - "transparency" indeed. John Kass of the Chicago Tribune points out that Alexi Giannoulias (basketball buddy of Obama's) and also on the fast-track (like Obama - no experience) is running for Obama's old Senate seat. Alexi could use the campaign cash and is thick with Tony Rezko (who gave Obama a sweetheart deal on their palatial home and adjoining property. Rezko couldn't make the party. He's awaiting sentencing for political influence peddling plus other pending trials. One is bouncing $450,000 in checks against Broadway Bank - now bankrupt and costing taxpayers $390 Mill. Broadway was owned by the Giannoulias' family. They also loaned a Rezko business $22 Mill. You need to know Obama's roots, old friends & family, from whence he emanated and likes to bring into the fold whenever he can. That "family" bank also loaned $27.7 Mill to felons for "street loans" called hard-money lending, no paperwork involved! This while Alexi was chief loan officer. The felon-loan beneficiaries were mobsters Michael "Jaws" Giorango and Demitri Stavropoulos. Giorango was convicted for bookmaking twice and a nationwide prostitution ring. Stavropoulos was convicted of an illegal sports betting operation. Paroled, he is now a "consultant" at PoleKatz Gentleman's Club (strip joint) in Bridgeview, where he makes $260,000 a year part-time to "advise." Advice you can't refuse? How deep and dark is this cesspool that keeps regurgitating more putrid relationships? This banking "experience" got Alexi his present job, State Treasurer, kind of like tax-evader Timmy of the US Treasury. Obama was State Senator then, vouched for and supported mob-banker Alexi for State Treas. I'm sure ACORN, Unions and the Mob itself pitched in. Once in, Alexi pledged $100,000 to, and supported Obama in HIS run for US Senate. Now Obama is in, all the way to President, and reaches back to help Alexi get his old Senate seat! Mobsters have now come out of the closet.
How many times do the people of America have to be slapped in the face (State by State) by this left-controlled administration? Louisiana is devastated by an oil spill but begs Obama to NOT suspend drilling, killing even more jobs. Obama does it anyway. A judge rules against his 6 mon moratorium, he ignores the judgment as well as the people. Arizona lives in fear and wants federal enforcement of immigration laws - nothing. A big majority then supports State enforcement. Obama, the Dept of Justice and Mexico say Arizonans have no right to protect themselves by enforcing written laws. All U.S. citizens have to produce I.D. You have instant problems if you can't. If you're a speeding Mexican (maybe can't even speak English or read highway safety signs) you don't have to produce I.D.? If no I.D. or Mexican I.D., an officer can't even question them? Can they detain them without being sued, or hold them for ICE (immigration) who doesn't want them? Writing them a ticket is a waste of time, paper & ink. What idiot is in charge? Now, gay marriage in California was voted down by 7 million people. They were told basically to "shut up," overturned by one leftist gay judge. One rare time "the people" get to vote on something and they are insulted, reminded of their insignificance by those in power! In April, Congressman Phil Hare said he didn't care about the Constitution when it came to health care. Pete Stark of Calif also showed his arrogance and scorn for our Constitution saying matter-of-factly, "The Fed Gov't can do most anything in this country." He didn't even know what E-Verify is (when asked) in a state with millions of illegals. It's simply a 99% accurate verification of citizenship for employers to use, eliminating the "I didn't know" excuse. But arrogance with ignorance, from the same mouths (in power) is scary indeed.
Here is where a goodly sum of Stimulus money is going - license-plate recognition technology. The Gov of Maryland is spending $2 Mill Fed grant money (from all of us taxpayers) to double the amount of roadside & mobile spy cameras he presently has. The data is collected at a "fusion center" accessible to gov't bureaucrats. Big brother is watching your every move by car. Speed cameras and red-light cameras matched to your license plate snapshots are within seconds cross-referenced to "wanted" lists, time, date and GPS coordinates. They can store this info for years. They say this will deter crime, target the bad guys, but they'll soon do as in England - ticket you for seat-belt or cell-phone use violations, for fast & easy local revenue, kind of a bonus benefit. Already local gov'ts use Google overhead maps to snoop and find out who put in a swimming pool or added on without permits. This is just starting. Our nanny-state mentality is sold as "doing good" to force it upon us but will have no limits. We know too much sun is not good. Sunscreen is hard to see and enforce, but will we be fined (taxed) if we don't wear a hat? Spy cameras will show no hat, or if you're smoking. I know very soon half the states will have outlawed smoking in cars, with kids present. Michigan just outlawed smoking in all public places. The smoking section became "outdoors," even in winter. Now, bars with fenced-in open-sky property cannot allow you to smoke even outdoors if you're drinking beer! I haven't smoked in over 30 years but can see "power-by-stupid" is out of control! Spy cameras are something Obama and his control-freak cronies can really sink their teeth into. He will get this nationwide using our own tax dollars against us. Add this to the fact the FBI under Obama is getting looser with the law and our rights, and bolder. They don't need to bother with the inconvenience of court-ordered search warrants if they decide it's in the nation's security interests, and that definition gets looser by the day. Recently (it will be changed) they had a life-sentenced major D.C. drug dealer's conviction thrown out because they used a tracking device on his jeep without a warrant. The ACLU jumped on this "technicality." For laughs, do you think the ACLU would be there for you or me? Only if our fate outraged drug dealers, and had their clout. Today's Patriot Act allows the FBI to write their own search warrant, serve it to you and arrest you if you so much as tell anyone about it, even your own spouse in the other room, or a lawyer! You will be entirely alone and at the mercy of the gov't! My point is, those in power ignore our Constitution, bypass Congress when not agreeable, and are cunningly inserting binding restrictions/controls on our personal behavior in numerous (seemingly innocuous) Bills and legislation no one reads. All this is lying in wait, as surveillance technology to monitor our every move is being put in place. Do YOU feel comfortable with these people in charge having these capabilities? Why are they persisting and pursuing this authority over us? And why is our media in quiet acceptance? You should be scared to death! The noose is tightening. History has shown repeatedly, latent power only lies in wait for the ideal time and tyrant. Believe me, both are very near!
For those uncertain of how this financial collapse came about I offer this quick synopsis. The Fed gov't (Clinton era) set out to give home ownership to low-income people. Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac expedited this by buying up (guaranteeing) these mortgages from original lenders. Lenders made rapid reckless loans (no money down) and no proof of income required ("liars loans") because they could dump them immediately on Fan & Fred. Hot shots also jumped in, speculating on ever-rising housing prices by only needing to make monthly payments. The bubble burst when ridiculous house prices fell hard. Naturally, people stopped making payments on houses worth much less than when they "purchased" them. They had no "skin" in the game. The buyer (guilty of avarice) didn't lose. The lender (accomplice to fraud) didn't lose. Fan & Fred (guilty of stupid stewardship by Barney Frank & Chris Dodd) didn't lose. Innocent taxpayers (as always) lost! Huge! Forced to bail out F&F. Frank & Dodd kept saying everything's fine and encouraged more lending. They still promote no money down loans. F&F just lost $5.9 Bill in the 2nd qtr. They're not regulated now, so they can continue the same bad practices (risky loans to the poor) with limitless bailouts.
So, Imam Rauf who calls his mega-Mosque "Cordoba Initiative" on ground zero, is traveling to the mid-east with a group, all expenses paid by taxpayers. Cordoba, Spain watched a victorious Muslim army build a mosque on the ruins of their church. This is victorious tradition! Obama now welcomes this mosque and has said Islam's call to worship is the most beautiful sound he's heard. Thousands of murdered souls will hear it often. This Imam is for Sharia law that stones, abuses and kills their women, says America brought the 9-11 attacks upon themselves, wants restrictions on freedom of speech, refuses to denounce terrorist Hamas and is involved with the group that helped the Jihad flotilla against Israel. But so is Bill Ayers & his wife and Rashid Khalidi (Obama's friend) tied to that same group. Khalidi sympathizes with Palestinian terrorists & Hamas and has asked for Muslim funds for another flotilla to ram the Israeli blockade of Hamas & Gaza. The name of the new ship is "Audacity of Hope" - the title of Obama's book! What does that say? Israel is blocking shipped arms & munitions to Gaza, nothing else. Gaza is NOT starving. It has a large new robust shopping mall with well-stocked shelves and bustling activity. Hamas uses media to serve them, just as Obama does. Why wouldn't we want to pay for Raul to tour and speak for us?
Christobal Silverio came illegally from Mexico in 1997, bringing his wife, Felipa and 3 children (19, 12, 8). Felipa gave birth to a premature "anchor baby" named Flor, who spent 3 months in an incubator, costing taxpayers over $300,000. Meanwhile, their 19 year old daughter & her illegal husband produced her own "anchor baby." Grandma Felipa created another "anchor baby," Christian. He gets $400/mon welfare & Flor gets $600 (asthma). That is $12,000/yr tax free to go with $18,000 (too little to tax) from picking fruit. Add in earned income tax credit of at least $5,000 and you have tax-free income of over $35,000 plus whatever other assistance and free medical care. That is how simply it is worked. Of 2300 babies born (2003) in Stockton, Calif, 70% were anchor babies. Any wonder Stockton is $23 Mill in the hole? Harry (groveling) Reid just said, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a republican." And I add, why would they live in Mexico?
The whole city-employee complex of Bell, Calif (37,000) belongs in prison for giving themselves outrageous salaries. That they're all democrats may be coincidental. Example, City Manager's $787,637 salary plus benefits totaling $1.5 Mill! Vacation & sick leave = 7 mon/yr! Lifelong pension $600,000/yr! It is portrayed in the media as an anomaly. It is not. It is the iceberg tip of entitlement and greed running rampant through this society, especially at all levels of gov't! Someone (Bell) is always at the front in extremism. But, all over in cities and counties this cancer is spreading like wildfire - loose taxpayer money, no one watching or caring, no punishment if (or when) caught and the rationalization, "everyone's doing it!" extreme Calif first perhaps, but not alone. The more you dig in a political dung-heap, the more you uncover and the worse it smells. That's why politicians don't cast stones and wont even touch shovels.. With an uncaring media the taxpayers are always the last to know. Look at what Barney Frank & Chris Dodd did, hiding their disgraceful "overseeing" of Fannie & Freddie. These jerks are the major cause of our unholy mess today. I could forgive their stupidity, not their criminal cover-up! Congress disgraced itself with this Finance Regulatory Bill and STILL no controls on F & F - who started it all. Plus, they ran home on Christmas Eve after slipping F&F a limitless cap that will cost us Trillions! These "public servants" serve only themselves. They get twice the wages and perks of those they "serve" at even the lowest level jobs. All of those people in Bell, Calif (Council, Police & Fire) are not evil. The present, perverse, pervading atmosphere (unchecked) IS evil! Unwieldy Fed gov't spending (like a drunkard) sets the loose standards others will follow. The Fed gov't sent $200 Bill Stimulus to the States. No jobs were created. The States now have their hands out again, as I said they would. Obama will dole it out periodically and strategically just before people vote & donate. It is $26 Bill right now to "save" teacher, firemen, and police jobs if you believe the media. It is to pay their Unions. WE are paying for their masses of lavish pensions & early retirements. A study by the Pew Center (aptly named) said that as of 2 yrs ago the States are SHORT One Trillion dollars (others say up to $3 Trill) of what is "promised" in Union retirees' pensions & health care, and the ability of the States to pay! Until this gaffe is acknowledged by gov't Unions and their retirees (and they all suck it up) there can be no REAL recovery. And there will be no more "smoke & mirrors." WE (the public) finally know about you - no thanks to the damned media! The "Golden Goose" is dead! You cooked your own, but you cooked ours too, you greedy fools!

44th Issue 08/01/10
I often point out that if you legally refuse (judicially or legislatively) something Obama wants, he just goes to plan B, C, D or E (as in Etcetera). Obama has made Congress irrelevant by constantly running his end-around plays. Elected officials should be outraged. Why aren't they? Obama's appointed positions like the EPA, Federal Reserve and Treas Dept dictate to the people regularly, against the majority and their vocal protests! With Obama, "No" is not an option. If you're an outraged voter he will explain it all again. You can't possibly be against him. He just didn't "explain" it right, so he'll tell you again - until you "get it." Concentrate this time. Still no? One of his appointees will do it for you, or to you! When there are no "checks and balances," no critical media exposure, our Constitution becomes a joke and our president becomes a laughing dictator! Health care "reform" became a joke when outlandish malpractice suits were ignored. After the Bill passes Obama has his Treas Dept tax-evading buddy, Geithner slip the lawyers $1.6 Bill in tax-break subsidies, so they can now sue even more often and more cheaply! The Trial-lawyers' magnanimous contributions from easy, sleazy profits (over 95% to democrats in control) was well rewarded. Stimulate economy? No. Stimulate economy-sapping litigation for a select few. Obama and Congress knows the Unions' pet project "Card-check" wont pass (voting poison) but Obama wants it badly for his buddy, Andy Stern, so he can perpetuate his Marxist, "We know who you are. We know how you voted. We know where you live." intimidation. Can't pass it? Circumvent it. Put a Union heavyweight on the Labor Relations board. It will pass, quietly in the night. You wont hear about this either. His horrendous Health Bill barely passed because it was sworn there would be NO "public option" and NO gov't paid for abortions! I told you both would happen anyway if they got it through. You just saw Sen Harry Reid on TV smirking and assuring his cheering followers "public option" would be here soon. Gov't paid-for abortions are already available in a number of states. ALL LIES, to get things passed "LEGALLY!" The rest gets done illegally! We are in big trouble, because hardly anyone even knows of the continuous betrayals, with the silent media in cahoots. Obama is close to Chavez of Venezuela in media control, takeover and dictatorship! "President" is just a name in those "other countries" where they intimidate voters and stuff ballot boxes. But we're now doing that here, aren't we? What media does surface, exposed and irrefutable (video-taped ACORN & Racist Panthers) is ignored and dismissed by Obama's social "Justice" dept! I think it's privately encouraged.
Obama, Pelosi & Reid are trumpeting their latest triumph - Financial Reform. 2300 pages of deliberate, loose, ambiguous moving parts (lawyer's dream) to do whatever you want it to do - like the other 2000+ page Bills nobody reads. No reform for Fannie & Freddie, who still run loose and are beating taxpayers up for Trillions of dollars! They, and big Wall St banks can still do 90% of everything that brought us crashing down, now even bigger than "too big to fail." Blankfein of Goldman Sachs is FOR it - that is all you need to know. What it does is simple to understand. It purposely discourages. That's why 80% polled have "no confidence." It creates even more uncertainty for small business people, already suspicious and reluctant to commit hard-earned money to expansion and hiring. The vagueness is deliberate to keep them down. I'll say it again. Obama lies to the public's face. He wants gov't jobs only. His burgeoning bureaucracy and regulatory control creates tons of lavish taxpayer-funded overseeing jobs - grateful and dependent voters. This reform will now regulate anyone who provides financing to customers, not just banks. There will be heavy costs in many areas that will be passed on to consumers. Like utility costs "necessarily skyrocketing," these are avoidable taxes or fines levied on you and me. For what? It is senseless! OR it is oppression! Harvey Pitt, former SEC chairman calls it (a familiar refrain) "The Lawyers' & Lobbyists' Full-Employment Act." Now the Obama/Pelosi rush (before November) makes more sense - unless you alienate more voters than you entice. This Bill, just passed by a comatose Congress just may be the final nail in the coffin of this Republic! This fine print and gobbledygook legalese may have given Obama control of everything capitalist.
NBC, CBS, ABC and the rest of the lame mainstream media (or propaganda) stated last week, when queried about their lack of coverage concerning ACORN's many criminal acts and the Black Panthers militant racism, said they just didn't think those events were "important enough" to cover. These are the same lamestream liars that were absolutely obsessed with Sarah Palin's wardrobe, and follow Lindsay Lohan around like puppy dogs. Any negativity toward anything Obama will be deemed NOT newsworthy by these creeps, and they will attack any hint of him criticized. But their e-mail was infiltrated (like those scientists debunking Gore's global-warming scam). Scientists went along, or lost funding and a job. This is a chatroom for several hundred liberal journalists, called "Journolist". O is for Obama. In April 2008, ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked Obama why it had taken him a year to dissociate himself from the fiery Rev Jeremiah Wright. He asked, "Do you think Rev Wright loves America as much as you do?" That enraged "Journolist" elitists. Richard Kim of "The Nation" e-mailed, "George is being a disgusting little rat snake." Employees of Time, Politico, Huffington Post and others were outraged at how Obama was treated. Spencer Ackerman of The Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention away from the Obama/Wright relationship (Marxist/Alinsky-style) by attacking one of Obama's conservative critics, "Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares - call them Racists!" Stein of Mother Jones said to a group plotting action, "Our friends at Media Matters" (a George Soros-funded propaganda machine) "probably have tons of experience with this sort of thing." Sarah Spitz, a producer for KCRW, affiliated with NPR (Nat Public Radio & funded with taxpayer money) said she would, "laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out" if she were to witness Rush Limbaugh suffering a heart attack. Do you think you might get prejudicial "news" from classy leftist journalists like these? I just disclosed a tiny bit to remind you that Obama wants to shut down the Internet and FOX News. They reveal evidence of wrong-doing to caring Americans (rightly perceived as a threat). As he says, "Too much information is not helpful." Obama wants you to know what this other scum tells you, AFTER they get their smearing lies and stories straight. "Change you can believe in." Or would you rather laugh at his "Transparency" promise. Or solemn (with wagging finger), "No more business as usual in Washington!" I almost pine for those days.
Shirley Sherrod was treated poorly. She spoke to the NAACP (Nat Assoc Advance Color People) for 40+ minutes but was quoted on a misleading 2 min. She said the WH told her she was "going to be on the Glenn Beck show" - pull off the road and immediately resign. That is being fired. Beck never even mentioned her, 2 hours later. The NAACP said, "Her actions were shameful." Then they both attacked FOX News and Tea Partys as racist. Andrew Breitbart sent FOX the short clip and was wrong, of course but Sherrod spoke TO the NAACP so they can't say they didn't know the full context. They heard and taped it all! Like the WH, they jumped the gun. Sherrod still spoke in racial tones last March when she said she helped the white farmer by steering him to "one of his own - a white lawyer" and, "His own kind would take care of him." Doesn't that phraseology ooze racist connotations? Try any white gov't employee, anywhere, saying the equivalent in earshot of the press - headline bigotry! When asked if Breitbart's website should be "shut down" (he exposed the ACORN tapes and the Black Panthers) Sherrod said, "That would be a great thing, because I don't see how that advances us in this country. I know Obama concurs, but just who is "us" referring to? And she said, "There are jobs at USDA and many times there are no people of color to fill those jobs because we shy away from agriculture. We think, why are we working in the fields? You've heard of a lot of layoffs. Have you heard of anybody in the Fed Gov't losing their job? That's all I need to say." Sad truth. Paid for life. Obama was supposed to be the "Healer" among so many other falsehoods. He garnered a lot of votes from those thinking he was the balm or salve to sooth the last of racial unrest in this country. Wrong again! He seems to be stoking the fire at every opportunity, setting us back a generation or two. He radiates strong racial resentment, like his reverend of 20 yrs. Remember well his 2008 statement that he is against reparations for blacks - because it doesn't go far enough! You're seeing that man in charge now. Inspector General Barofsky said minority and women-owned car dealerships were given much preferential treatment on administration closures from the auto bailouts. More viable dealers (profitability & jobs) were closed. This too wasn't newsworthy, but in fairness there is far more going on than even the do-nothing media knows of. This sinister bunch never sleeps.
The ramifications from these nincompoops hastily ramming through all these Bills (about 10 thousand unread pages) will be felt for decades. An avalanche of paperwork and record-keeping never before seen will cripple small businesses, the economy and all forms of medical care. Rationed care? As doctors flee this dictatorial system, we will be lucky to get any care, after long waits in line. Businesses will be Form 1099'd to death. Never still for long, Obama is pushing for even more administrative regs for businesses - data about pay, as it relates to sex, race and national origin of employees. Everyone will be record-keepers for a Gov't regulatory morass, and the administrative nightmare costs passed on will stagger taxpayers, consumers and patients alike. So many, have no damned idea what these idiots have done to us. Obama and his minions have deliberately destroyed this Country! Brace yourselves, and at least get some measure of revenge at the polls.
I give you a huge example of asinine Gov't spending, redundancy and waste that rose from the ashes of 9-11. To "protect" ourselves we hastily created "A hidden world, growing beyond control." according to Washington Post reporters, Dana Priest & William Arkin. They found 1271 Gov't Organizations & 1931 private companies in 10,000 locations across the U.S. "A gusher of money" has flowed since 9-11. Duplication is unbelievable (as is expense) for over 850,000 highly paid top secret Gov't employees. 51 Fed organ in 15 cities track the flow of money to & from terrorist networks - they all have the same job and told to spend whatever it takes. They produce an estimated 50,000 reports a yr - most are never read. Nice. We can always look up what was going to happen after it happens. Great espionage! Couldn't 50% of this massive duplication read and decipher this info, or is that a stupid thought? The Nat Security Agency intercepts & stores 1.7 billion e-mails & phone calls daily, but doesn't have enough interpreters & such to analyze it all. Perhaps more gov't jobs are coming. I want to say "well done" to these reporters but the Post is so liberal I think this came to light only because it is wasted on national security. Did you know there are 70 different programs in 13 different fed agencies on teen drug abuse? 160 different job-training programs? 50 homeless assist programs? Plus many many more with little coordination between them. The Treas Dept's "Unreconciled Transactions" in one year cannot account for $24.5 Bill it spent! The IRS that hammers us for poor record-keeping cannot verify $3 Bill of its expenses! Medicare fraud is over $60 Bill annually. A cardiologist convicted of half a million in fraud said, "The problem is that nobody is watching. The system is extremely easy to evade. The forms I sent in were absolutely outrageous. Yes, let's have the Gov't run and regulate everything, and take care of us.
As bankruptcies go California is among the walking dead. Their gov't employees (civil servants?) commonly grant themselves lavish paychecks and pensions that are nothing short of criminal embezzlement. But the actions of one City Manager & Police Chief of Bell, Calif are down-right comical, they are so rash. Like, how long did you think you would get away with it? Bell population, 38,000 with 47 police officers. Manager salary, almost $800,000. Police Chief, $457,000/yr. Under pressure the Manager resigned but stands to get over $30 Mill in pension! Over $800,000 the 1st yr! There is even an assist City Manager making $376,000. Part-time council members get about $100,000. Bell is in a poor county. A couple counties over, the city of Vernon's top pensioner hauls in $510,000/yr. California wants us to bail them out. Why not?
It's funny how 2 progressive advocates for the poor and re-distribution of wealth (the rich should pay more taxes) live their own hypocritical lives. John Kerry tried to beat Massachusetts out of $500,000 in taxes on his $7 Mill yacht. That's a lot of boat. Hillary Clinton is spending close to $5 Mill for her daughter's wedding, half a million on flowers alone. 18 months ago they were begging donors to help with her campaign debt! It's like Al Gore preaching the evils of energy pollutants (global warming) while flying all over in his jumbo private jet and living in a well-lit mansion. There are rules for us, and rules for those lying elitists that would crack the whip. Dr Jack Cassell of Florida has a sign on his door saying, "If you voted for Obama, seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in 4 years." Remember their frenzied rush to sign it, but it wouldn't affect you until after he was re-elected? Too late to retaliate - after you find out how awful it is.
Hot & recent news is Wikileaks and their 92,000 released tidbits. It will be a lengthy story I will talk more about next issue. I'll refrain from hasty conclusions and comments. The main media will not. They're anxious to slam America & its troops. They'can tell a lie, make it headlines to get a desired result, then later print a small retraction on page 30, without conscience. That's as low as you can go. I am cynical of Wikileaks source, Julian Assange. He is anti-war with an agenda and made a bunch of money. War is hell. Bad things happen by even good people. His most famous video bit shows a helicopter gunning down Iraqis. Assange (biased) edits it, then gives it an inflammatory title, "Collateral Murder" and he called Sec'y of Defense, Robert Gates "a liar" for suggesting the Americans were in a "combat situation." Assange admitted there was small arms fire. Film showed Iraqis running with AK-47 rifles. A rocket propelled grenade launcher was also found at the scene. That is a combat situation. 2 or 3 unidentifiable Reuters reporters were killed (too close in the scurry, too bad). This is war! Reporters decide how much risk they will take for action shots. Maybe they should have been with Americans. If I'm the pilot, there's small arms fire, they have weapons, and are not us - goodbye! In war we don't use tazer stun guns or let everyone fire first. That's stupid.
I said last issue that Obama forbade any military personnel from speaking at any "faith-based" public events anymore. Who might those religions be? And he forbade anymore "fly-overs" at the "God & Country Rally" (1st time in 42 yrs) because of its "Christian nature." It pays tribute to the Army, Air Force, Navy & Marines. He didn't go to Arlington on Memorial Day. Every President does. He just stood up the "Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball" for the 48 (still living) Medal of Honor winners. No other of 14 Presidents since its start 56 years ago has missed this event, not even Clinton with his and Hillary's disdain for the Military. The Boy Scouts of America celebrated its 100th anniversary (that doesn't happen often) at its periodic Nat Jamboree this year - first Jamboree snubbed by a President. The Scouts are Christian oriented, like our Founding Fathers. Maybe that's the rub. That day, Obama was becoming the very first president to get his ego massaged on a daily talk-show, "The View." Did you see the photo of Barack and Michelle holding their left hands over their hearts? Guess they don't do it often. My greatest disgust is for the media that discloses none of these habitual insults and assaults on our Armed Forces and Christianity, our Nation's overwhelming religious following. You may be Muslim, Obama, but your insults and your inane declaration that WE "are a Muslim nation are crap! You're just going for "brownie points" on your Muslim world stage. Your open affinity for Palestine while rebuffing and insulting our ally, Israel fits this pattern. You even have our great space agency NASA shut down and neutered - ordered to reach out and embrace Muslim nations so you can get more points.
Tom Burnett Sr is the father of Tom Jr, who was one of the 40 heroes that rushed the terrorists and crashed Flight 93 into a field in Pennsylvania. He alerts us that the Ground Zero opulent $100 Mill Mosque (which will be a cheered symbol of scorn and Islamic victory over us) is the 2nd Mosque of ridicule. He reports that the Park Service is building an even bigger Mosque around the crash site of Flight 93. It is a half mile "Crescent of Embrace" modeled after the Islamic Crescent and Star emblem. It is pointed directly at (facing) Mecca, as tradition dictates for ISLAMIC prayers! A tower exactly 93 feet high has another crescent atop it. Islam believes there is only Heaven & Hell. Dangling from the top of the tower are 40 cylinders representing our 40 heroes - between top & bottom - is this their symbolic Damnation? I find these two desecrations absolutely revolting. They must be tied in together, but our Park Service? I refuse to see any of this as trivial or coincidental. Who designed this monstrosity? At who's request? Instinct tells me that the NYC Mosque is largely funded by the Saudis - who sent us 19 murderers! And they allow not one church in their whole country. They, and the Mexicans demand "their rights" over here, and allow none to us in their countries. Some gall! And that loud arrogant a-s, NYC mayor, Bloomberg telling everyone to butt out of his city's business - they can build their mosque right on Ground Zero. This is every American's business and damned-well out-ranks his big butt! 10,000 protested the Mosque 3 weeks ago. No news. The Imam of that Mosque says our gov't brought on the 9-11 attacks, will not condemn Hamas (terrorists) and is for Sharia Law that greatly abuses women, then stones and kills them - great American. NO citizen gets stoned to death here - ever! Get it, or get the hell out!
Obama said there would be a "Transformation" of America. Another term for transformation is Revolution. It has recently been found out that Obama has the power to order executions of American Citizens (abroad) deemed to be terrorists or threats. This was given to him under the cover of darkness 4 months ago - one more shameful discovery of unreported "news." His "hit-list" numbers more than a dozen, less than 2 dozen - so far. And, so far, it is restricted to those outside our borders - but that is the proverbial "foot in the door." American Citizens can now be SHOT or exterminated, without arrest, miranda or trial! Earlier, it was revealed that American Citizens can now (by Obama) be picked up, imprisoned and held indefinitely on "suspicion" within the U.S. - while awaiting some future trial! Unbelievably outrageous in its scope and sinister media secrecy! Never before possible in the history of our Country but it is NOW "Obama Law" with apparent "Ho-Hum" interest! Where was/is Congressional protest of our most basic of rights? Why aren't Millions in the streets? How long do you suppose he will "go easy" on us, before he starts to squeeze?

Obama, Pelosi & Reid are trumpeting their latest triumph - Financial Reform. 2300 pages of deliberate, loose, ambiguous moving parts (lawyer's dream) to do whatever you want it to do - like the other 2000+ page Bills nobody reads. No reform for Fannie & Freddie, who still run loose and are beating taxpayers up for Trillions of dollars! They, and big Wall St banks can still do 90% of everything that brought us crashing down, now even bigger than "too big to fail." Blankfein of Goldman Sachs is FOR it - that is all you need to know. What it does is simple to understand. It purposely discourages. That's why 80% polled have "no confidence." It creates even more uncertainty for small business people, already suspicious and reluctant to commit hard-earned money to expansion and hiring. The vagueness is deliberate to keep them down. I'll say it again. Obama lies to the public's face. He wants gov't jobs only. His burgeoning bureaucracy and regulatory control creates tons of lavish taxpayer-funded overseeing jobs - grateful and dependent voters. This reform will now regulate anyone who provides financing to customers, not just banks. There will be heavy costs in many areas that will be passed on to consumers. Like utility costs "necessarily skyrocketing," these are avoidable taxes or fines levied on you and me. For what? It is senseless! OR it is oppression! Harvey Pitt, former SEC chairman calls it (a familiar refrain) "The Lawyers' & Lobbyists' Full-Employment Act." Now the Obama/Pelosi rush (before November) makes more sense - unless you alienate more voters than you entice. This Bill, just passed by a comatose Congress just may be the final nail in the coffin of this Republic! This fine print and gobbledygook legalese may have given Obama control of everything capitalist.
NBC, CBS, ABC and the rest of the lame mainstream media (or propaganda) stated last week, when queried about their lack of coverage concerning ACORN's many criminal acts and the Black Panthers militant racism, said they just didn't think those events were "important enough" to cover. These are the same lamestream liars that were absolutely obsessed with Sarah Palin's wardrobe, and follow Lindsay Lohan around like puppy dogs. Any negativity toward anything Obama will be deemed NOT newsworthy by these creeps, and they will attack any hint of him criticized. But their e-mail was infiltrated (like those scientists debunking Gore's global-warming scam). Scientists went along, or lost funding and a job. This is a chatroom for several hundred liberal journalists, called "Journolist". O is for Obama. In April 2008, ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked Obama why it had taken him a year to dissociate himself from the fiery Rev Jeremiah Wright. He asked, "Do you think Rev Wright loves America as much as you do?" That enraged "Journolist" elitists. Richard Kim of "The Nation" e-mailed, "George is being a disgusting little rat snake." Employees of Time, Politico, Huffington Post and others were outraged at how Obama was treated. Spencer Ackerman of The Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention away from the Obama/Wright relationship (Marxist/Alinsky-style) by attacking one of Obama's conservative critics, "Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares - call them Racists!" Stein of Mother Jones said to a group plotting action, "Our friends at Media Matters" (a George Soros-funded propaganda machine) "probably have tons of experience with this sort of thing." Sarah Spitz, a producer for KCRW, affiliated with NPR (Nat Public Radio & funded with taxpayer money) said she would, "laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out" if she were to witness Rush Limbaugh suffering a heart attack. Do you think you might get prejudicial "news" from classy leftist journalists like these? I just disclosed a tiny bit to remind you that Obama wants to shut down the Internet and FOX News. They reveal evidence of wrong-doing to caring Americans (rightly perceived as a threat). As he says, "Too much information is not helpful." Obama wants you to know what this other scum tells you, AFTER they get their smearing lies and stories straight. "Change you can believe in." Or would you rather laugh at his "Transparency" promise. Or solemn (with wagging finger), "No more business as usual in Washington!" I almost pine for those days.
Shirley Sherrod was treated poorly. She spoke to the NAACP (Nat Assoc Advance Color People) for 40+ minutes but was quoted on a misleading 2 min. She said the WH told her she was "going to be on the Glenn Beck show" - pull off the road and immediately resign. That is being fired. Beck never even mentioned her, 2 hours later. The NAACP said, "Her actions were shameful." Then they both attacked FOX News and Tea Partys as racist. Andrew Breitbart sent FOX the short clip and was wrong, of course but Sherrod spoke TO the NAACP so they can't say they didn't know the full context. They heard and taped it all! Like the WH, they jumped the gun. Sherrod still spoke in racial tones last March when she said she helped the white farmer by steering him to "one of his own - a white lawyer" and, "His own kind would take care of him." Doesn't that phraseology ooze racist connotations? Try any white gov't employee, anywhere, saying the equivalent in earshot of the press - headline bigotry! When asked if Breitbart's website should be "shut down" (he exposed the ACORN tapes and the Black Panthers) Sherrod said, "That would be a great thing, because I don't see how that advances us in this country. I know Obama concurs, but just who is "us" referring to? And she said, "There are jobs at USDA and many times there are no people of color to fill those jobs because we shy away from agriculture. We think, why are we working in the fields? You've heard of a lot of layoffs. Have you heard of anybody in the Fed Gov't losing their job? That's all I need to say." Sad truth. Paid for life. Obama was supposed to be the "Healer" among so many other falsehoods. He garnered a lot of votes from those thinking he was the balm or salve to sooth the last of racial unrest in this country. Wrong again! He seems to be stoking the fire at every opportunity, setting us back a generation or two. He radiates strong racial resentment, like his reverend of 20 yrs. Remember well his 2008 statement that he is against reparations for blacks - because it doesn't go far enough! You're seeing that man in charge now. Inspector General Barofsky said minority and women-owned car dealerships were given much preferential treatment on administration closures from the auto bailouts. More viable dealers (profitability & jobs) were closed. This too wasn't newsworthy, but in fairness there is far more going on than even the do-nothing media knows of. This sinister bunch never sleeps.
The ramifications from these nincompoops hastily ramming through all these Bills (about 10 thousand unread pages) will be felt for decades. An avalanche of paperwork and record-keeping never before seen will cripple small businesses, the economy and all forms of medical care. Rationed care? As doctors flee this dictatorial system, we will be lucky to get any care, after long waits in line. Businesses will be Form 1099'd to death. Never still for long, Obama is pushing for even more administrative regs for businesses - data about pay, as it relates to sex, race and national origin of employees. Everyone will be record-keepers for a Gov't regulatory morass, and the administrative nightmare costs passed on will stagger taxpayers, consumers and patients alike. So many, have no damned idea what these idiots have done to us. Obama and his minions have deliberately destroyed this Country! Brace yourselves, and at least get some measure of revenge at the polls.
I give you a huge example of asinine Gov't spending, redundancy and waste that rose from the ashes of 9-11. To "protect" ourselves we hastily created "A hidden world, growing beyond control." according to Washington Post reporters, Dana Priest & William Arkin. They found 1271 Gov't Organizations & 1931 private companies in 10,000 locations across the U.S. "A gusher of money" has flowed since 9-11. Duplication is unbelievable (as is expense) for over 850,000 highly paid top secret Gov't employees. 51 Fed organ in 15 cities track the flow of money to & from terrorist networks - they all have the same job and told to spend whatever it takes. They produce an estimated 50,000 reports a yr - most are never read. Nice. We can always look up what was going to happen after it happens. Great espionage! Couldn't 50% of this massive duplication read and decipher this info, or is that a stupid thought? The Nat Security Agency intercepts & stores 1.7 billion e-mails & phone calls daily, but doesn't have enough interpreters & such to analyze it all. Perhaps more gov't jobs are coming. I want to say "well done" to these reporters but the Post is so liberal I think this came to light only because it is wasted on national security. Did you know there are 70 different programs in 13 different fed agencies on teen drug abuse? 160 different job-training programs? 50 homeless assist programs? Plus many many more with little coordination between them. The Treas Dept's "Unreconciled Transactions" in one year cannot account for $24.5 Bill it spent! The IRS that hammers us for poor record-keeping cannot verify $3 Bill of its expenses! Medicare fraud is over $60 Bill annually. A cardiologist convicted of half a million in fraud said, "The problem is that nobody is watching. The system is extremely easy to evade. The forms I sent in were absolutely outrageous. Yes, let's have the Gov't run and regulate everything, and take care of us.
As bankruptcies go California is among the walking dead. Their gov't employees (civil servants?) commonly grant themselves lavish paychecks and pensions that are nothing short of criminal embezzlement. But the actions of one City Manager & Police Chief of Bell, Calif are down-right comical, they are so rash. Like, how long did you think you would get away with it? Bell population, 38,000 with 47 police officers. Manager salary, almost $800,000. Police Chief, $457,000/yr. Under pressure the Manager resigned but stands to get over $30 Mill in pension! Over $800,000 the 1st yr! There is even an assist City Manager making $376,000. Part-time council members get about $100,000. Bell is in a poor county. A couple counties over, the city of Vernon's top pensioner hauls in $510,000/yr. California wants us to bail them out. Why not?
It's funny how 2 progressive advocates for the poor and re-distribution of wealth (the rich should pay more taxes) live their own hypocritical lives. John Kerry tried to beat Massachusetts out of $500,000 in taxes on his $7 Mill yacht. That's a lot of boat. Hillary Clinton is spending close to $5 Mill for her daughter's wedding, half a million on flowers alone. 18 months ago they were begging donors to help with her campaign debt! It's like Al Gore preaching the evils of energy pollutants (global warming) while flying all over in his jumbo private jet and living in a well-lit mansion. There are rules for us, and rules for those lying elitists that would crack the whip. Dr Jack Cassell of Florida has a sign on his door saying, "If you voted for Obama, seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in 4 years." Remember their frenzied rush to sign it, but it wouldn't affect you until after he was re-elected? Too late to retaliate - after you find out how awful it is.
Hot & recent news is Wikileaks and their 92,000 released tidbits. It will be a lengthy story I will talk more about next issue. I'll refrain from hasty conclusions and comments. The main media will not. They're anxious to slam America & its troops. They'can tell a lie, make it headlines to get a desired result, then later print a small retraction on page 30, without conscience. That's as low as you can go. I am cynical of Wikileaks source, Julian Assange. He is anti-war with an agenda and made a bunch of money. War is hell. Bad things happen by even good people. His most famous video bit shows a helicopter gunning down Iraqis. Assange (biased) edits it, then gives it an inflammatory title, "Collateral Murder" and he called Sec'y of Defense, Robert Gates "a liar" for suggesting the Americans were in a "combat situation." Assange admitted there was small arms fire. Film showed Iraqis running with AK-47 rifles. A rocket propelled grenade launcher was also found at the scene. That is a combat situation. 2 or 3 unidentifiable Reuters reporters were killed (too close in the scurry, too bad). This is war! Reporters decide how much risk they will take for action shots. Maybe they should have been with Americans. If I'm the pilot, there's small arms fire, they have weapons, and are not us - goodbye! In war we don't use tazer stun guns or let everyone fire first. That's stupid.
I said last issue that Obama forbade any military personnel from speaking at any "faith-based" public events anymore. Who might those religions be? And he forbade anymore "fly-overs" at the "God & Country Rally" (1st time in 42 yrs) because of its "Christian nature." It pays tribute to the Army, Air Force, Navy & Marines. He didn't go to Arlington on Memorial Day. Every President does. He just stood up the "Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball" for the 48 (still living) Medal of Honor winners. No other of 14 Presidents since its start 56 years ago has missed this event, not even Clinton with his and Hillary's disdain for the Military. The Boy Scouts of America celebrated its 100th anniversary (that doesn't happen often) at its periodic Nat Jamboree this year - first Jamboree snubbed by a President. The Scouts are Christian oriented, like our Founding Fathers. Maybe that's the rub. That day, Obama was becoming the very first president to get his ego massaged on a daily talk-show, "The View." Did you see the photo of Barack and Michelle holding their left hands over their hearts? Guess they don't do it often. My greatest disgust is for the media that discloses none of these habitual insults and assaults on our Armed Forces and Christianity, our Nation's overwhelming religious following.
