HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know I'm jumping the gun here a little bit. But I'm wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'll be in bed by ten and don't play the TV too loud.

OK, OBAMA CLOWN TIME IS OVER!

Things are now getting serious with the attempted Christmas Day bombing Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab. Even more disturbing is the idiotic statement from Obama's Homeland Security Sectratary Janet Napolitano who declared that the system worked in the failed bombing incident. No Ms. Stupido Napolitano the system did not work because this guy got on the plane. The reason why you think the system worked is because the terrorist have not produced a reliable detonator! Janet (no enforcement) Napolitano is now an official member of Obama's Clown Cabinet.

This is not the first time our Clownland Secretary Napolitano has tried to proclaim failure as really success. There was the time when: "Napolitano went on CNN’s “State of the Union” and proclaimed that crossing the border illegally is not a crime. This statement left a lot of folks scratching their heads given that U.S. law—the law Napolitano is sworn to uphold—says quite the opposite. Section 8, Title 1325 of the U.S. code clearly states that those who enter the U.S. illegally are committing a crime."

It may be too much to ask officials of the Obama administration to actually read and understand the laws they are supposed to enforce. Then again maybe it just a normal part of the policy in the Obama Administration where:

COPENHAGEN'S CLIMATEGATE CHRISTMAS

Immigration Officials Arrest 300 in California. Yawn!

From today's New York Times:

"LOS ANGELES — Nearly 300 illegal immigrants who had committed serious crimes were deported or detained this week by federal agents in a demonstration of what immigration officials pledged was a new resolve to zero in on the most egregious lawbreakers."

New resolve? How about a "new resolve" to zero in ALL the illegals in our country! You can start with the most "egregious" lawbreakers first but, don't stop there. They have all broken the law!

"John Morton, an assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security who is in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Friday that focusing on serious criminals helped improve public safety."

If Homeland Security had been doing it's job in keeping these illegal immigrants out of the country in the first place there would be no public safety issue! The Federal Government does not deserve any gold stars for that failure! It just needs to clean up the mess that it created and that does not mean sweeping the illegal immigrant problem under the rug with an amnesty aka "path to citizenship" either! That approach did not work in 1986 and it won't work today!

“These are not people who we want walking our streets,” Mr. Morton said at a news conference here, a day after Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano made much the same point at a Congressional hearing."

I got news for you John that you can pass along to your boss Janet Napolitano at Homeland Security and President Obama. The American people don't want ANY of these illegal immigrants walking and/or loitering around our streets!

OBAMA ACCEPTS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. NO REALLY!

Now that Barack Obama has actually accepted the Nobel Peace Prize I think Bob speaks for many people here and around the world in regards to this event:

On the other hand perhaps Obama winning the peace prize is a message of hope after all. As this fellow points out here:

DEATH TO THE ACADEMICS?

Those with PhD degrees can sometimes be rather pompous and egotistical. Sometimes the PhD seems to stand for piled higher and deeper. Such an attitude may be irritating but, people don't usually resort to violence against them. Then comes this story in today's New York Times about Professor Richard T. Antoun who was stabbed in his office on Friday. Here are the money quotes:

"A 46-year-old Binghamton University graduate student from Saudi Arabia was charged on Saturday with killing a retired anthropology professor, a specialist in Islamic and Middle Eastern studies with whom he had worked, the authorities said.
The student, Abdulsalam S. al-Zahrani, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of the professor, Richard T. Antoun, who was stabbed in his office in the university’s Science I building on Friday afternoon, said Gerald F. Mollen, the district attorney in Broome County. “We believe the murder weapon was recovered,” he said.
Mr. Mollen said in a statement that Mr. Zahrani and Professor Antoun had known each other through Mr. Zahrani’s “work in the graduate program.” Later, in an interview, the district attorney said that “they’ve known each other for quite some time.” The extent of their contact was not immediately clear."

It's hard to fathom why someone would want to kill a retired Anthropology Professor of Middle Eastern Studies. But, the fact that the person charged was from Saudi Arabia should raise some eyebrows in the post 9/11 era. Dont cha think? That's why I found it curious that the New York Times would bury (no pun intended) this story on page 36 in the regional section of the paper. I know the Times has gone down hill over the past few years in terms of their biased reporting but, have the editors gone so politically correct that this story needs to be buried so far back in the paper? Hell, if some stupid kids on Long Island kill an illegal immigrant (as happened last year in Patchougue LI) it's front page news at liberal papers like the Times. American Professor's don't usually die at the hand of a Saudi national. But, for some reason it' buried on page 36. Curious.

WHITE HOUSE GATE CRASHERS: NO BLAME OBAMA

Looks like the Secret Service has fallen on their sword and is taking the blame for allowing the White House gate crashers to gain access to the White House State Dinner last week. They do deserve some of the blame for the security lapse. But, the so does the Obama Administration. Especially this woman:

Who is she? A super model? Nah. She's Desiree Rogers President Obama's Social Secretary. You know the one RESPONSIBLE for the guest list at things like oh State Dinners at the White House. Of course she is in this position because? Well, she was a financial bundler for the Obama campaign and is a gal pal of Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett:
On the other hand I guess you could say the Obama Administration has bought change to the Washington. Especially at events like State Dinners at the White House Here is Exhibit A:

"During President George W. Bush’s administration, it was standard procedure to have someone from the White House social office at the gate for state dinners and other events with large groups of visitors, according to a former senior Bush aide who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to be seen as criticizing the Obama White House.

The social office is most knowledgeable about the guest list and could have been called in case of any uncertainty, this official said…White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, asked by The Associated Press on Thursday whether personnel from her office were at the checkpoint said, “We were not.”"

So what is her philosophy about her job at the White House?

"“My belief is that we don’t always get everything accomplished over a meeting table,”” Rogers says. “Many times it’s over cocktails, it’s over dinner and so the other piece to our work will be what kind of events can we create?”

TRANSLATION: I'm here to party!

Hmmmm You would think Congress investigating the security lapse at last weeks State Dinner might want to question Ms. Rodgers. But, that ain't goin' to happen in the no blame Obama administration. Exhibit C:

"The White House on Wednesday invoked the separation of powers to keep Desiree Rogers, President Obama’s social secretary, from testifying on Capitol Hill about how a couple of aspiring reality television show celebrities crashed a state dinner for the prime minister of India last week."

BORDER BASICS & FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FAILURE

If you want to know one of the ways our Federal Government is failing us United States citizens on illegal immigration you need look no further than the case of Manoj Kargudri. Janet Kephart at the Center for Immigration Studies lays it all out in this video.

WORLD ORDER

I really like this video from Genki Sudo. He is a former mixed martial arts fighter and wrote the lyrics. The music is by Heigo Tani. I just find the video interesting and the music hauntingly beautiful. I hope you do too.

we hear both sides of different voices
we here all these pretty false lies from our ears
in the smallest spaces they have they plant their bended reality.

In the middle of the night I wake up

TERRORIST ON TRIAL ERIC HOLDER'S "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"

There's a lot of questioning about Attorney General Eric Holder's strange decision to put a number of the terrorists on trail in a civilian court in New York. On the face of it seems to be a very strange idea. Until you start to dig deeper as Michelle Malkin has been doing here are some of the money quotes from her reporting:

"If you’ve been paying attention, you already know all about AG Eric Holder and his DOJ staff’s national security conflict of interest as senior partner with Covington & Burling — the prestigious Washington, D.C. law firm, which represents 17 Yemenis currently held at Gitmo."

"The Senate shrugged at the glaring conflict of interest Attorney General Holder presents in handling Gitmo legal issues. Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Cucullu, author of Inside Gitmo: The True Story Behind the Myths of Guantanamo Bay, makes the ethical problem plain:

As a senior partner, he undoubtedly had significant input on what kind of charity cases his firm picked up. He surely knew that dozens of lawyers from his firm were among the 500-plus civilian lawyers representing the 244 or so remaining detainees (on top of military-court-appointed defenders). Even now, his Covington colleagues continue to allege rampant torture at Gitmo. They’re fighting hard to have detainees tried through the US court system—essentially given the same rights as US citizens. And their arguments and plans hinge largely on having Holder issue a bad report card."

Somehow I would waste any time waiting for Keith Olbermann to make a "special comment" on this.

Obama's plan for illegal immigration enforcement: Failure!

Speaking about dumb Obama administration officials. Homeland Security Janet (no enforcement) Napolitano also took out the trash on Friday with the following news

"The Obama administration expects Congress to begin moving to overhaul the nation's immigration laws early next year, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday, adding that improved border security and a drop in migration caused by the economic downturn make such changes "far more attainable" than in 2007." -Washington Post

Let's see where to began with Secretary Stupido of Homeland Security. I wonder where she gets these crazy ideas. Perhaps from her friend:
The Democratic former Governor of New York Elliot Spitzer who before he resigned in disgrace was calling for drivers licenses for illegals and other bright ideas that reward illegals. Secretary Stupido goes on:

"We will never have fully effective law enforcement or national security as long as so many millions remain in the shadows," Napolitano said.

Illegals remaining in the shadows Secretary Napolitano? Here is Exhibit A: Taken on Long Island New York 1500 miles from the southern boarder
Does this look like the illegals are "remaining in the shadows" Ms. Napolitano? Seems to me if I am able to find them loitering out in the open in my community than is it asking too much for my Federal Government to find and deport them? Oh, I forgot it's the Obama administration we are talking about here and when it comes to enforcing U.S. laws regarding illegal immigration:

You gotta know when to hold em. Holder!

It's pretty clear the U.S. Attorney General is not the brightest bulb at the Department of Justice. Exhibit A: The Marc Rich Pardon. But, he makes an excellent bag holder. That's why Bill Clinton used him. Meanwhile, as Air Force One carried President Barack Hussein Obama out of Washington on a trip to ASIA and out of the line of outrage. Holder was put on stage to defend the wisdom of putting 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed on trial in a civilian court in New York City. Here is the money quote:

"Eric H. Holder Jr. called his order Friday to send the suspected plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks to trial in Manhattan "the toughest decision I've had to make as attorney general."

Well I guess unlike Obama on Afghanistan at least Eric Holder made a decision. A stupid one but, a decision nonetheless. But, with Obama safely in Japan Eric Holder is once again still left holding the bag.

CNN: Works on the pigs ear.

Following yesterday's Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey Governor's races CNN (the Obama Administrations favorite "news organization outside of MSNBC and one that fact checks Saturday Night Live comedy sketches had this little insane insight:

"Washington (CNN) -- Victories in New Jersey and Virginia Tuesday provided a major shot in the arm for the Republican Party heading into the 2010 elections, but the Democratic losses of these two governorships should not be interpreted as a significant blow to President Obama."

File this under Delusional Analysis! Especially after both Obama and Biden made several trips to try and prop up New Jersey Democratic Govenor John Corzine chances for relection.

Dumbocrats and Victicrats

Somehow I don't think you will ever see this video on Black Entertainment Television or MTV.



Still it's refreshing to see there are some thoughtful voices in this country who refuse to play the victim and race card.

ANITA DUNN AND LEE ATWATER RIGHT AND WRONG

The Obama administration interim communications director Anita Dunn aka Anita Dunce just can't seem to get it right, No pun intended. When she was caught on tape quoting Mao Tse Tung and saying he was one of the political philosophers she turned to often. Her CYA defense that it was something she heard from Republican strategist Lee Atwater.
Mickey Kaus throws cold water on that B.S. excuse:
"Funny thing, though. I can't find a place where Atwater cited Mao. I can find lots of places where Atwater referenced Sun Tzu, whose Art of War he supposedly carried around in dog eared form. ... Hmmm ..."

JFK'S PRESENT FOR BOOMERS

Hello fellow boomers!

Guess what? President John Kennedy has left us a cold war gift. Cancer!

Walter Shapiro is the only reporter who showed up for the press conference and has the money quote:

"In 1961, as John Kennedy was poised to resume atmospheric testing after a two-year moratorium, he met with White House science adviser Jerome Wiesner in the Oval Office one rainy day. The president wondered how fallout reached the earth. Wiesner explained that it was washed out of the clouds by rain. "You mean," Kennedy asked, "it's in the rain out there?" As Wiesner tells it, the president then "looked out the window, looked very sad and didn't say a word for several minutes." Nonetheless JFK, fearful that the Soviet Union might score a nuclear breakthrough, authorized a new round of above-ground testing before negotiating the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963."


A boom in cancer for boomers from the big booms. Why did only one reporter like Shapiro show up to cover the press conference? Well I guess it's not as big a story as Obama inviting a woman to play golf.

OBAMA APPROVED PUNDITS

There was closed door private meeting this past Monday at the White House with a select group of media pundits. Of course there was the typical Obama bootlickers like Keith (Obamamann) Olbermann and his fellow liberal lesbian co worker Rachel Madcow. Just One Minute has the complete list:

"The White House has sent TVNewser the complete list of those who attended the off-the-record briefing Monday: Eugene Robinson, E.J. Dionne, Ron Brownstein, John Dickerson, Rachel Maddow, Frank Rich, Jerry Seib, Maureen Dowd, Keith Olbermann, Bob Herbert, Gloria Borger, and Gwen Ifill. Several members of the staff also attended."

Kind of sad to see Maureen Dowd and John Dickerson in with the rest of the Obama bootlicking crowd. I just hope they were not forced to drink the Obama Kool Aid but, perhaps they already have and that's why they were invited.

How stupid can San Francisco be?

From the NY Times:
"The San Francisco board of supervisors is expected to vote Tuesday to overturn a city policy that has been at the center of a national debate over offering illegal immigrants sanctuary. The policy, ordered by Mayor Gavin Newsom last summer, requires the police to contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement whenever they arrest a juvenile on felony charges who they suspect is in the United States illegally. Since the policy took effect in August 2008, more than 100 undocumented minors have been turned over to federal immigration authorities."

I thought the city of San Francisco was coming to around to it's senses when it enacted the law to get the illegals committing crimes on it's streets turned over to the Federal authorities. What bought the people of San Francisco around?

"The city was also shocked by a June 2008 triple murder, which prosecutors say was committed by Edwin Ramos, a suspected gang member and an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who had been arrested as a juvenile by the San Francisco police but
not turned over to immigration authorities."

Too bad it takes the deaths of three people to wake up a city to what happens when you let illegals run amuck in your town. But, now one stupido Supervisor named David Campos is leading the charge to rollback the enforcement. Who is David Campos? Why he's originally from Guatemala and came to this country illegally when he was 14. Hola suckers!

Anita Dunn is a dunce

You can tell how worried the Obama administration is when they have to sic Rahm Emanual to clean up the mess the interim White House communications Director Anita Dunn created last week as she tried to kill the messenger Or at least those at the Fox News channel who are not drinking the Obama cool aid. Glen Beck lays it all out on what the game the Obama liberal/progressives are playing. He does a pretty good smack down of Ms. Dunce speaking before a high school graduation class and quoted one of her favorite political philosophers Mao. Something she later claimed was a joke. Uh Huh!

I wonder how long Ms. Dunce will remain in her position with the Obama administration. Not long if Obama is as smart as I think he is.

OBAMA WINS AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has finally managed to make the Nobel Peace Prize a joke by giving the award to President Obama whose only accomplishment so far has been to make speeches. This is a ridiculous nomination. At least former President Jimmy Carter won the award in the words of the Nobel Prize Committee press release: "decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2002 to Jimmy Carter, for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." What has Obama done? .... I can't wait for the spin on this one.


What should Obama do? Mickey Kaus has an excellent suggestion: TURN IT DOWN! As Kaus points out there is no downside for Obama to just say no:

"He gets at least the same amount of glory--and helps solve his narcissism problem and his Fred Armisen ('What's he done?') problem, demonstrating that he's uncomfortable with his reputation as a man overcelebrated for his potential long before he's started to realize it. ... Plus he doesn't have to waste time, during a fairly crucial period, working on yet another grand speech."

The question is will his ego and/or advisors let Obama follow this advice. I doubt it.

Bertha Lewis is nuts trying to defend ACORN

Bertha Lewis the head of ACORN is so full of crap. She went to the National Press Club in Washington yesterday trying to defend the ACORN organization from the caught on tape video of ACORN employees trying to help undercover reporters who posed as a prostitute and pimp set up an illegal business with ACORNS help. The only thing she did highlight is the hypocrisy of ACORN. Here is the money quote Ms. Big Mouth Bertha:

"The moderator asked whether the misdeeds that were uncovered justified the secret taping. "Nothing trumps breaking the law -- nothing! Nothing!" Lewis responded."

Oh really Ms. Lewis? Nothing trumps breaking the law? Let's roll the video tape of one of the ACORN community organizers in Baltimore no less actually breaking the law.


I expect next time we hear from Bertha she'll defend her organization with a "who are you going to believe? Me or your own lying eyes!"

WHY DID OBAMA FLY TO COPENHAGEN?

My girlfriend (who is/was an Obama supporter) and I are both wondering why President Obama would waste his time, spend hundreds of thousands of tax dollars in flying costs and create a carbon foot print a mile wide to make a last minute pitch to the International Olympic Committee to let Chicago host the 2016 Olympics?

Maybe because his phone calls FAILED!

Urges

I've been spending a lot of time away from computers and corporate media for awhile now. Including a lot of time on a sailboat not connected to anything other than the earth via the anchor. Every once in awhile I start to feel the urges to post or comment on something but, so far have not posted in a month. Those urges are getting stronger as we head into fall. So stay tuned.

The Lying Liberal Lion Ted Kennedy Dies

I sometimes wonder if Barack Obama carries a big bundle of bad karma around with him. Considering all the people who have died that have be associated with him. There was his mother who died very young, his father in a car accident. The grandmother who raised him who died never knowing whether he ever became President. Now comes Ted Kennedy whose endorsement of Obama helped push him ahead of Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Presidential nomination.


I'm a registered Democrat but, I don't put Kennedy on a pedestal as Liberal Democrats do. He certainly was no profile in courage and his positions are often way off the mark as his comments on the illegal immigration through the years have shown:

1965: "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."-Senator Ted Kennedy


1986: "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this." -Senator Ted Kennedy

2007: "Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken system." -Senator Ted Kennedy

Then there was how he used his power to help kill the offshore windmill generation project off of Martha's Vineyard because it would ruin the views of he and his elitist neighbors. Then there was his behavior and complicity in the death of Mary Jo Kopeckne. If the Internet had been around when Kennedy drove his car off the bridge I doubt his political career would have survived as long as it did.

EL PRESIDENTE STUPIDIO OBAMA!

From the Washington Post:

"GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Aug. 10 -- President Obama, attending a North American summit with the leaders of Mexico and Canada, said Monday that his administration will pursue a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. immigration system this year but that no action on legislation will happen before 2010.

Wrapping up the two-day meeting, Obama said that there needs to be "a pathway to citizenship" for millions of illegal immigrants in the United States, and that the system must be reworked to avoid tensions with Mexico. "

WHAT? There does not need to be a "pathway to citizenship" for the illegals in this country. There needs to be "pathway" for the illegal immigrants alright. A pathway to the border and the airports so they can be deported to the country's they came from. On the second point the "system" does not to be reworked. It's only our laws that need to be enforced by THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT President Obama! You can start by enforcing the E-Verify employment procedures that make sure that projects using Stimulus tax dollars are using only workers that are legally able to work in the U.S. Something that the Obama administration has delayed FOUR TIMES!

"Without it, he said, Mexicans will keep crossing the border in dangerous ways and employers will continue exploiting workers. "We can create a system in which you have . . . an orderly process for people to come in, but we're also giving an opportunity for those who are already in the United States to be able to achieve a pathway to citizenship so that they don't have to live in the shadows,"

Rewarding those already here illegally with a path to citizenship. Oh yeah, that's a great policy. That's what the did with 1986 Immigration Reform Act. That really solved the illegal immigration problem. Obama does not seem to be able to grasp that it was a failed policy. As far the illegals living in the shadows. President Obama does this look like the illegal immigrants are living in the shadows?

Long Island, New York

The swearing in of Sonia Sotomayor

"WASHINGTON — Justice Sonia Sotomayor took the judicial oath on Saturday, becoming the first Hispanic and third woman to serve on the Supreme Court in United States history.- New York Times

The liberal media have been playing up the "historic" nomination Sonia Sotomayor and the how today she will be sworn in at the Supreme Court. Well since I am in Washington D.C. working out of the BCP bureau I thought I would jump on the Washington Metro and after a few stops get off at Union Station. Than saunter over to the Supreme Court building and checkout the action for this "historic" event. I thought it good that Sotomayor did a 180 on her statements about the "wise Latina woman" making a better decision than a white male during the hearings. Though I would have liked to hear a little bit more of her involvement with racist organizations like La Raza. Because of all the media hype about her being the first "Latino" Supreme Court Justice I was fully expecting to see the plaza in front of the Supreme Court filled with Hispanics and the groups that represent them for this "historic" occasion. I expected to see both U.S. citizens and illegals coming out for this "historic" swearing in of Justice Sotomayor. Instead I saw this:

More Security Guards then people on the Plaza. The above photo was taken a few minutes past 11 AM as Sotomayor was being sworn in by Justice Roberts. No La Raza, No Puerto Rican Defense Fund groups, no pro illegal immigrant groups and illegal immigrant amnesty supporters. Here another shot of the crowd gathered out side the building:
Which appeared to be mostly made up of gringo tourists from Ohio and other states visiting D.C. No placards of support for Sotomayor no posters in Spanish (Thankfully). Just a few tourists wandering around and of course:
The "media"! I kind of felt sorry for them as there was not much a story here for them to cover . No crying Latinos praising Sotomayor for having achieved ascendancy to the Supreme Court of the United States. No illegals saying what an inspiration she was to them. So much for "historic" occasions in the history of Latinos in America. But, one politician did show up and make some comments to the media:
Congresswoman Nadia Velaquez of New York. Who was actually sworn in by Sonia Sotomayor when she first became a Congresswoman.

I listened in as a reporter interviewed her. She said that the Sonia Sotomayor's rise to the Supreme Court should be a lesson for all the young Latinos out there that if you work hard and study even though you live in the projects with all the bad things and violence around you can still get ahead in America. I'd say that it's not just a lesson for "young Latinos" but, any young person in this country.

Notes from the BCP Washington Bureau

I've been away from the keyboard for awhile after being on a trip to Africa and enjoying the Long Island summer. But, that does not mean I have not been getting outraged about what is going in the country. Working here in Washington for a few weeks has gotten my ire raised even a more. So I think it's time to fire up the keyboard once again. So stay tuned!

Some questions for Sonia Sotomayor .....

As the United States Senate begins to hold hearings on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. I hope that the Senators ask some probing questions of her affiliations with ethno centric racial groups like La Raza. Of course the Democrats are going to play dumb and lob softball questions at her. So it will be up to the Republicans to dig into her soul and see how impartial she can be on the bench. If I were able to ask some questions of Sotomayor I would ask her if she knows what group is represented by this flag:

It's the flag on the Puerto Rican Liberation Front. I would then follow up if she thinks these four "Latinos" from this group:

Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andrés Figueroa Cordero, Lolita Lebrón and Irvin Flores who on March 1 1954 entered the House of Representatives in Washington D.C. unfurled a banner and started shooting wounding 5 Congressmen. I would ask Ms. Sontomayor would she would consider these four latinos terrorists? I think her answer would be most interesting to know before the Senators vote on her nomination.

LI Congressman Tim Bishop gets an earful from "activists" but, not the ones he is use too.

Why should the radical liberal ACORN "activists" have all the fun? Congressman Tim Bishop of Long Island found out what happens when middle class taxpayers are "silent no more" and start to let their elected leaders know how pissed off they are.


I've had my own issues with Tim Bishop on his support of amnesty for illegal immigrants. It looks like others have issues with him and the other liberal Dems who are running congress. People are not in the mood for pols like Bishop to try and fly under the radar and want results from our Federal Government. We are tired of being reminded of the Federal Government's failures like illegal immigrants loitering around on street corners. Excuses no longer cut it and the people who were willing embrace change with Obama are becoming active enough to make other changes that liberal Dems like Bishop may soon find out about the hard way in the next election.

CONYERS: The coward, the criminal and the "powers that be"

In a stunning example about how corrupt the ethics of the liberal Democrats now in charge of the congress have become two items stood out concerning the Democratic head of the House Judiciary Committee john Conyers. All of which was ignored by the liberal mainstream media. One was that his wife Monica Conyers a Detriot councilwoman pleaded guilty to Federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery. That was bad enough but, even more egregious is that Conyers head of the Judiciary Committee is not going to be investigating ACORN the organization that is now a target of 14 voter fraud investigations. When Conyers was pressed why his committee would not be holding hearings he said the "powers that be" did not want it. Here is the money quote from the WASHINGTON TIMES:

"Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh, whose testimony about ACORN at a March 19 hearing on voting issues prompted Mr. Conyers to call for a probe, said she was perplexed by Mr. Conyers' explanation for his change of heart.
"If the chair of the Judiciary Committee cannot hold a hearing if he want to [then] who are the powers that he is beholden to?" she said. "Is it the leadership, is it the White House, is it contributors? Who is 'the power?'"

Indeed who are the "powers that be" that led Conyers to drop any hearings into ACORN. It's a question that won't be asked by the liberal mainstream media that's for sure. But, we citizens should be demanding an answer to.

Stepping out with the CAPITOL STEPS

A number of years ago I visited the Washington Office of my Senator the once honorable Alphonse D'Amato to express my opposition to the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant.. There I was greeted by one of the Senator's senior staffers Elaina Newport. A woman who looked familiar. Back then she looked an awful lot like Ann Coulter. Come to think of it I have never seen a picture of them together. But, it was only later that I realized that Ms. Newport was a member of the Washington D.C. based satirical comedy troupe The Capitol Steps. Since I'm working out of the BCP Washington Bureau for the next week we decided to go see the Steps at The Ronald Reagan Center where they preform every Friday and Saturday night. I was not disappointed. Even better the show we were attending was being taped for the Capitol Steps Fourth of July radio show on NPR next weekend. So check your local listings you might hear me and the rest of the audience having a good laugh and you will too!

Michael Jackson is dead but....

The creepy Michael Jackson has died but, strangely life goes on for billions of other people around the world. But, you could not tell that to the mainstream media and cable news directors. Who were weeping but the tears were tears of joy. As they they dropped all other news to cover this idiots death endlessly. It was just another reason to keep the TV turned off, I should have known better. Luckily there was CSPAN which had an interview with David Frost of "Frost/Nixon" fame which had no mention of the bankrupt pop star's death. I hope they cover their own demise as well. Because when it came to covering any important news the cable news outlets were useless places for it yesterday.

Obama & Americorp scandal: Let the corruption begin

One wonders why President Obama would remove the Inspector General looking into the misuse of our taxpayer dollars by institutions and groups who are funded by the goverment backed Americorps. Why indeed! Michelle Malkin has more, much more.

Dow average rises and so does the media BS!

Media outlets like CNN and others are making a big whoop de do about how the Dow Jones industrial averages oth are rising into the positive territory for the first time this year. Sounds good doesn't it? That what the Obama administration would love you to believe. But, before you take those numbers at face value remember the both Citigroup and General Motors were knocked off the Dow Jones list recently. How could it not go up with those pieces of crap stocks not in the average anymore. File this news in the Hello Suckers file for now.

TV OR NOT TV THAT IS THE QUESTION

Well today is the day that TV stations across America will be turning off their analog TV transmitters and only broadcasting in the new Digital transmission format. I have not turned on my TV set since April and you know what I don't miss it it at all. I am able to get all the information I need from the Internet and radio. I find I'm actually more productive in doing this. I can listen to radio (mostly for weather forecasts) while doing other things. The Internet also allows me to get right to the information I need and not what some TV news director or programmer thinks I'd be interested in (or feels I should be interested in). So as far as the change in the TV transmission. I've made my television change months ago by keeping the TV set in the off position.

Working Families Party and ACORN in the hood.

I was working in the garage at Rancho de BCP here on Long Island the other night. I thought I heard someone knocking on the front door. A few seconds later I saw a young twenty something fellow come into view. He saw me and stopped. He held a clipboard with a petition or poll and mentioned he was from the Working Families Party. He asked if I could answer a few questions. I looked at him and said I really don't care for groups that are associated with ACORN. He stopped and said I understand and then just walked away. Looks like the organizers for the radical left group ACORN and the Working Families party are counting on the uninformed voters not knowing about the ACORN/Working Families connection. But, I am not one of those voters.

Arizona rollover tragedy. Who is to blame?

Today was the day that there was supposed to be a meeting at the White House of the Obama administration and the groups like La Raza & Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez that want amnesty for the 12 million plus illegal immigrants in our country who blatantly choose to ignore our immigration laws. That meeting has been postponed until June 17th. mark that date on your calenders. But this morning CBS radio carried a news story of a rollover of a van in Arizona that was carrying AT LEAST 27 illegal immigrants. Eight were killed and 14 were air lifted to hospitals. Yes, this was a tragedy it's a tragedy for the illegals but the cold hard truth is nobody put a gun to their head and made them enter the U.S. illegally so my sympathy is limited for them. They obviously did not get the memo as Mickey Kaus points out that the illegals are returning home is record numbers. It is also a tragedy for the U.S. taxpayers who will be picking up the the medical costs for those illegals. Here is the money quote:

"We're looking at a lot of expenses tied in with this particular collision and unfortunately the worst part of it is, it's a loss of human life, the unnecessary loss of human lives, and the people who are obviously hurt and seriously injured,"says Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada.

Meanwhile U.S. citizens are going bankrupt trying to pay their OWN medical bills. Whose is to blame for this tragedy? Clearly the illegals themselves bare part of of it. The people who were transporting them too. But, I think that most of the blame belongs to our Federal Government. Now run by the Obama administration who continue to allow these illegals to cross our borders and have have an almost criminal lack of enforcement policy once they arrive here. Thanks in part to the liberal Democrats and especially to Homeland Security Secretary Janet NO(enforcement)politano. Bottom line is this accident and other similar incidents would not be happening if the Obama Administration and the Federal Government were doing it's job in border security and enforcing immigration law.

From the OBAMA: FAILURE IS AN OPTION files. E-Verify posponed AGAIN!

 

A report in Washington Technology states that the Obama Administration is once again delaying implementation of the E-Verify system for government contractors. Here are some of the money quotes:

"The Homeland Security Department is expected to delay the deadline again, from June 30, for mandatory contractor use of the E-Verify employment verification system, Jennifer Kerber, vice president for federal and homeland security policy for TechAmerica, wrote in an e-mail message to members today."

"It would be the fourth time DHS' U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency has delayed the controversial rule."

It is becoming apparent that the Obama Administration and groups that represent those that hire illegal immigrants (represented by the "U.S. Chamber of Commerce") DO NOT want to implement anything that helps enforce the law regarding illegal immigration. It seems failure is an option in the Obama Administration when it comes to enforcing U.S. immigration laws and especially when it comes to using E-Verify to make sure that the people hired to work on U.S. (taxpayer paid for) government contracts are legally entitled to work in this country. I guess that's too much to ask of the Obama administration.

Out of Africa and back to a news Obamanation.

We arrived back in Washington D.C. on Saturday after three weeks in Africa. I was out of the "news" loop and away from the MSM for most of the time. Though we did hear of Obama's pick for the Supreme Court from a Brit at bar in Mozambique. Other than that it was pretty much safari's, staring at Victoria Falls, African sunsets or snorkeling on a reef off of Mozambique. So it was with some anticipation that I turned on CNN to see what the important news of the day after a virtual three week news blackout. CNN deemed it wise to use it's news gathering resources and airtime to cover "live" President Obama's motorcade turning onto 46th street to go see a play in New York. This is still what passes for "news" with MSM outlets like CNN. Sad.

GREETINGS FROM BOTSWANA

I have not posted in awhile because I am currently in Africa. I left Zambia this morning and crossed the Zambezi River by a powered skiff this morning and are now in Botswana for the next week or so.n There is some internet connectivity at the place where I am staying but, the connection is slow so I am not sure haw many posts I will be able to do while here.

Hey Obama here's an onshore tax loophole you can plug!

While it may be commendable that President Obama is going after the offshore tax loopholes. Even though it may cripple some silicon valley firms. Well I guess after the banking industry and the car makers what other industries are there left to cripple? Meanwhile, the Obama administration has ignored tax programs like the Earned Income Tax Credit program right here in the U.S. that has a fraud rate approaching 30%.



Here is the money (literally billions) quote from a Treasury Department audit report on another program that tells that illegal immigrants are gaming the system and also picking up child tax credit money from U.S. taxpayers. Again billions of dollars worth of fraud!:



Outrageous! But, to get the full story that is not hidden in the bureaucratic speak of the Treasury audit report. You should read this analysis by Edwin S. Rubenstein called The Earned Income Tax Creditand Illegal Immigration
A Study in Fraud, Abuse, and Liberal Activism. Here are some of the money quotes from it:

"But enthusiasm for the credit has blinded policy makers to its problems. The EITC program is dominated by fraud. Year after year about one-third of all EITC returns are based on illegal multiple returns, phony Social Security numbers, or claims of non-existent children or spouses. A disproportionate share of illegal alien households receive the benefit.

President Obama’s stimulus program includes tax cuts for low-income workers. The purpose, of course, is to put money back into taxpayers’ hands so they will spend it and boost the economy. But thanks to the EITC, much of the “tax relief” will go to people who have never paid a cent of tax—and may have already defrauded the government of huge sums each year.

As you know, the improper payments made in the Earned Income Tax Credit make up the second largest portion of government-wide improper payments for fiscal year 2005, estimating $9.6 to $11.4 billion dollars paid improperly.In fiscal year 2004, EITC had an improper payment rate of 25 percent. For fiscal year 2005, it was 28 percent and this is on the low side, because it’s just an estimate."

On the low side because this is "just an estimate"? How does that make you feel my fellow U.S. taxpayers! File these reports of illegals reaping refunds of U.S. tax dollars in the Hola suckers file.

GET OUT THE VOTER FRAUD IN OHIO

Daniel Hausman, Amy Little, and Yolanda Hippensteele may soon be checking into the Greybar Hotel after pleading guilty to voter fraud in Ohio during last years Presidential election.
It seems these three along with others were engaged in a "get out the vote" campaign and voted in Ohio even though they had no intention of staying there. Which is against Ohio election laws. Were they just stupid? I don't think so. I mean if you are part of a "get out the vote" organization you would think that they might just know the election laws. Well, the courts have decided that no they were not stupid with the guilty verdict. As the judge said: "rescinding your request is like giving back the money once you've been caught."
As usual most of the mainstream corporate media ignored this story but, some intrepid reporters at Palestra.net dug deep and got the facts and went where others in the media dared not go. There may be hope for journalism if some of these college reporters get jobs in newsrooms and bureaus. They did the reporting that the other "news organizations" should have done. You can see some of the reporting of these young intrepid reporters on the voter fraud issue in Ohio here.

Ethics? We are the Obama Administration we don't need no ethics policy!

It seems the Obama administration is trying to brow beat the Washington Press on the Obama Administrations ethics hypocrisy by using the Wizard of Oz defense i.e. : Pay no attention to the hypocrisy behind the scenes just look at what these left leaning organizations are saying about us. Politco's Michael Calderone has the money quotes:

"If you’re CC’d on this email, it’s because you or your news outlet have reported extensively on criticism of ethics waivers. In the interest of fairness and balance, I wanted to make sure you saw and had the opportunity to report on the below release from ethics groups praising the President’s steps on transparency in the first ethics days. "- White House Press Office

This subtle threat to the press and it is a "We decide (what's ethical) and you report" mentality. This sounds just like a Bush administration position. Earth to the Obama administration. You either have ethics rules or you don't. If you want to claim you regard ethics as important you DO NOT issue "ethics waivers". You also don't hide behind the skirts of left leaning organizations that are sympathetic to you.




Oh yeah now let's talk about that "earmark" policy.

Air Force One photo op with our taxpayer dollars

It seems there was a photo op of Air Force One (Obama was not onboard) over lower Manhattan this morning. There are a couple of things wrong with this stunt. One is why is it being done i.e. what do they know that we don't? The second in these hard economic times does the Obama Administration really need to conduct "photo ops" with fuel guzzling (taxpayer dollar sucking) planes like 747 aircraft? Especially for "photo ops" over lower Manhattan where low flying aircraft can make citizens nervous. This was a very stupid and costly idea!

POGO IS ALIVE AND WELL AT HOMELAND SECURITY

"WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US"- Pogo
One would think this Federal government report from the Department of Homeland Security (with nameless authors) would be an April Fools joke. But, it is not. It is frightening attempt by some people in the government to try and make many American's anger at the failure of the Federal Government on certain issues like illegal immigration be painted as part of some vast "radical" right wing conspiracy. Instead of what it is. The true outrage and anger of U.S. citizens about the continuing failures of the Federal Government. It would be amusing if it was not so frightening that this "official" government report could be used as a pretext for the Obama administration to spy, wire tap and otherwise invade the privacy of U.S. citizens who truly have issues with the way the Federal Government has failed them. There are no names of organizations in the report that the government considers a "right wing extremist" so that means it could be anyone. This whole document smells as if it was written in the offices of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Michelle Malkin has some of the insightful money quotes on this chilling document:

"I have covered DHS for many years and am quite familiar with past assessments they and the FBI have done on animal rights terrorists and environmental terrorists. But those past reports have always been very specific in identifying the exact groups, causes, and targets of domestic terrorism, i.e., the ALF, ELF, and Stop Huntingdon wackos who have engaged in physical harassment, arson, vandalism, and worse against pharmaceutical companies, farms, labs, and university researchers. By contrast, the piece of crap report issued on April 7 is a sweeping indictment of conservatives. And the intent is clear. As the two spokespeople I talked with on the phone today made clear: They both pinpointed the recent “economic downturn” and the “general state of the economy” for stoking “rightwing extremism.” One of the spokespeople said he was told that the report has been in the works for a year. My b.s. detector went off the chart, and yours will, too, if you read through the entire report — which asserts with no evidence that an unquantified “resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalizations activity” is due to home foreclosures, job losses, and…the historical presidential election."

Then there is this useless piece of crap analysis from the nameless DHS report writers:

"Threats from white supremacist and violent anti government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts."

TRANSLATION: These "unnamed" groups are practicing free speech. What a dangerous concept in a democracy! Obviously, the Obama administration and the Department of Homeland Security think so.

Every U.S. citizen should read this DHS report and think very strongly what the implications are for our country, democracy and free speech. Don't forget to smile at the cameras at the TEA PARTY our government will no doubt be watching!

OBAMANATION: The road to Amnesty for illegals

The New York Times, you know the paper that gets money from Mexican billionaires to keep their operation afloat reports that President Obama is going to try and push through an amnesty for illegal immigrants. You know the ones that the Federal Government has failed to keep out of our country and communities:

So the Obama administration will attempt to sweep the problem under the rug with an amnesty for their illegals. Here is the money quote:

"While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country’s immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday."

President Obama please read this real slow.

"When your reward illegality you will get more of it."

We have been down this road before with liberal Dumbocrats like Ted Kennedy here are his Dumbocratic quotes on illegal immigration and amnesty:

1965: "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."

1986: "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this."

2007: "Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken system."

Before they go down the road to amnesty. It's a good time for the liberal Dumbocrats and President Obama to remember the words of George Santayana

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. "

Nuff said!

Energy Independence or Blowback?

"The nation's electric utilities have failed to fully survey the vulnerability of their equipment to computer-based attacks from foreign countries and hackers, a government-authorized regulatory group concluded this week. That assessment came as senior U.S. officials renewed warnings that experts from Russia, China and other nations have been trying for years to probe and exploit those vulnerabilities. "-Washington Post

I wonder where these countries got the idea to use software to cripple a country's electric grid. Perhaps from the CIA which did exactly the same thing when it loaded bugged software into Russian computers that caused gas valves in a Russian gas pipeline to malfunction resulting in a major pipeline explosion during the cold war. As the song says "Teach your children well" and don't forget payback is a bitch!
Meanwhile all the talk about a "smart electric grid" seems to me like just a big PR effort to justify spending hundreds billions of dollars on such a system. It's to make the sheeple feel like someone is protecting them and the electricity grid so they can always charge their IPODS. Meanwhile the electric utilities and oil companies want to make sure you will always be connected to them. To me it is much more important to become completely independent from them and stories like this one show why.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION QUOTE OF THE DAY

The New York Times has a profile of the Mayor of Irving Texas that has implemented a policy of checking the legal status of everyone that gets booked into it's jail. It refers those with dubious citizenship quite rightly to the Federal authorities for deportation. Buried in the article is the money quote from the local Police chief:

"The police chief, Larry Boyd, said he believed that the city’s enviable crime rate (last year was its lowest on record) is at least partly due to the deportation program. “You will never hear me blaming Irving’s crime problems on illegal immigration,” Chief Boyd said. But he added that the program “keeps some criminals off of Irving’s streets longer and potentially keeps them off of Irving’s streets for good.”

Other communities here on Long Island and around the country could learn a thing from Irving Texas. Enforcement works!

Shooting: American Civics?

There's breaking news about a gunman who entered into a building that houses the "American Civic Association" but, it seems this organization caters to immigrants both legal and illegal and is one of many "nonprofit immigrant helping organizations" that fly under the radar of the U.S. immigration law. But, of course they don't mind taking the donations from hard working American taxpayers who donate to groups like United Way. Over $30 thousand from that organization alone. Which is another reason not to donate to such organizations.

It's too early to tell if the gunman was a crazed American citizen fed up by the failure of the Federal Government to enforce U.S. immigration laws or some crazed immigrant pissed off because he did not get a green card. Whichever it is I wonder if we will ever find the reason for his madness.

DEMOCRATS PASS OBAMA'S $3.5 TRILLION BUDGET

"Congressional Democrats overwhelmingly embraced President Obama's ambitious and expensive agenda for the nation yesterday, endorsing a $3.5 trillion spending plan that sets the stage for the president to pursue his most far-reaching priorities."- Washington Post

I thought the Republicans spent too much when they were in power. I guess I forget how much worse things could be when the Democrats are in charge.

BREAKING NEWS!: My girlfriend got some extra money in her paycheck from the last Democrats/Obama money spending scheme aka "The Stimulus Bill" I hope she does not spend the $17.00 all in one place!

ANYONE FOR A TEA PARTY?

GM = Government Motors

"NEW YORK, March 30 -- After ousting General Motors' chief executive, President Obama warned Monday that bankruptcy may be unavoidable for two American automotive giants. -WASHINGTON POST

Senator Bob Corker I think has it right

"This is a marked departure from the past, truly breathtaking, and should send a chill through all Americans who believe in free enterprise," Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who sits on the Senate Banking Committee, said in a statement. "Firing Rick Wagoner is a sideshow to distract us from the fact that the administration has no progress to announce today."

Benneto Mussolini is smiling in Hell!

OBAMANATION: No "E" in DHS enforcement!

From the Washington Post:
"Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has delayed a series of proposed immigration raids and other enforcement actions at U.S. workplaces in recent weeks, asking agents in her department to apply more scrutiny to the selection and investigation of targets as well as the timing of raids, federal officials said."

In other words slow down and cutback on enforcement. Now why would Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano try to delay and cutback on enforcement of our nation's laws?

"The raids have enraged Latino community and religious leaders, immigrant advocates and civil liberties groups important to the Democratic base, who have stepped up pressure on Obama to stop them."

Wuups there it is! So it's not really about enforcing U.S. laws and doing what's right for the country it's about doing what right for the Democratic Party. I wish the Obama administration would come to it's senses and understand that enforcement is not the problem when it comes to illegal immigration. It's the lack of enforcement that is the cause of the problem! Or as Leigh H. Winchell, the ICE special agent in charge in Seattle, wrote in an e-mail to his staff :

"You did nothing wrong and you did everything right," "I cannot control the politics that take place with these types of situations, but I can remind you that you are great servants of this country and this agency."

Mr. Leigh is spot on about the dedicated ICE agents. I wish I could say the same about Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Obama Administration.

Seize the ????

"The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy, according to an administration document." - Washington Post

File this under what the F?

CENSUS?: DON'T COUNT ON IT!

From today's Washington Post:

"Amid fears that millions of people may be overlooked during next year's census, the Census Bureau will launch a $250 million promotional campaign to encourage participation in the decennial head count, especially among hard-to-reach minority groups in urban areas."

This is of course one of the reason's why the Whitehouse wants control of the census. Meanwhile the liberal mainstream media ignores the issue that the Obama administration will be using his radical friends at ACORN as temporary workers to help conduct the census. You know the ones who submitted all those fraudulent voter registration forms. Hola suckers!

How about starting with this crowd of illegals 1500 miles from the southern border. Have Immigration Customs and Enforcement pick them up and count them as they deport them. We'd be taking care of two problems at once. Yes we can!

A TAXPAYERS'S CRAP SANDWICH

Tim Geithner is expected to announce today the Obama administration's Taxpayer's crap sandwich where we will taxpayers be buying up the "bad assets" aka failed sub prime loans that the banks gave out because of their greed and activist's groups like ACORN pushed because of their social agenda. Of course President Obama did not mention the latter part of the problem on his 60 minutes appearance last night.

Smells like ACORN

From th AP:
"FAIRFIELD, Conn. (Mar. 21) - A busload of activists representing working- and middle-class families paid visits Saturday to the lavish homes of American International Group executives to protest the tens of millions of dollars in bonuses awarded by the struggling insurance company after it received a massive federal bailout. "

The AP never identifies these activists wonder if they are Obama's radical friends from ACORN?

Obamanomics: AIG Bonus addition

President Obama is shocked that some people at AIG were given bonuses totaling $160 million dollars. He's either lying or has no clue what members of his administration are doing. Meanwhile the idiots in Congress retroactively impose a 90% tax on those bonuses which were legally given out. Which is a scary proposition for those of us who pay taxes. Meanwhile, Senator Chris Dodd who originally had a provision in the "Stimulus Bill" that would limit these bonuses but, the Obama administration had him take those restrictions. He's not the only one who was boondoggled by the Obama administration:

"The culprit behind the killing of the Wyden provision remains unsolved -- but Dodd fingering Treasury adds weight to Wyden's sense that members of Obama's economic team were behind the elimination of his amendment. And, in both cases, major decisions involving taxpayer money were carried out in a way that flies not in the face of fairness, but in the face of the administration's promises of transparency and accountability." -Huffington Post

So with Obama like his predecessor George W. Bush the questions remain he is he lying about knowing about the bonuses or clueless about what it is going in his administration. Obama should know that he can no longer escape the issues and accountability by speeches. Because they are becoming just words.

Obama and Dodd got their AIG bonuses

My my from "the when you wonder why things happen file". Take a look which two politicians got the most money from AIG in 2008: Why it's:

Barack Obama

Chris Dodd

File this info in the "Hello Suckers" file! Yeah they are outraged over the AIG bonuses. All they got was a measely hundred thousand dollars.

Liberal Dumbocrat Pelosi enforcing U.S. law is "un-American"

"Nancy Pelosi says enforcing immigration laws is “un-American” -Michelle Malkin

What's the word I am looking for to describe her? Idiot! Just won't do.

Capitol shock over AIG bonuses

Barack Obama and others is hopping mad over $167 million dollars in bonuses that are to be paid to employees of AIG. Like the famous scene from Casablanca he and other pols in Washington are shocked that there is greed in the financial industry. He has instructed his "gelt" boy to try and stop it. My advice is don't hold your breath waiting for this.

"President Obama's apparent inability to block executive bonuses at insurance giant AIG has dealt a sharp blow to his young administration and is threatening to derail both public and congressional support for his ambitious political agenda. "-Washington Post

The question many of us taxpayers are asking is why is AIG still around as a company? Why was it not forced into bankruptcy? Could it be that pols like Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry who own stock in AIG still have a chance of gettting some of their money out as long as we taxpayers keep the company on life support using taxpayers dollars?

Bad news on AIDS in DC

From Today's Washington Post:

"At least 3 percent of District residents have HIV or AIDS, a total that far surpasses the 1 percent threshold that constitutes a "generalized and severe" epidemic, according to a report scheduled to be released by health officials tomorrow."

How bad is it?

"Our rates are higher than West Africa," said Shannon L. Hader, director of the District's HIV/AIDS Administration, who once led the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's work in Zimbabwe. "They're on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya."

So after spending billions of taxpayer dollars spent on trying to educate people about the danger and spread of aids what does Washington D.C.'s Mayor Fenty conclude?

"You have this problem affecting us, and you tell people how serious it is and it literally goes in one ear and out the other."

What is to be done? President Obama and the liberals will probably try and throw more taxpayer dollars at "education" about AIDS. Yeah, like that has worked in the past. Then the gay community will organize yet another bike ride somewhere. It won't help either but, it will make them feel good.
