Really? November 2010

Highlight of the Month: Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist"

San Francisco prohibits toys in Mickey D Happy Meals. "Medical" marijuana still OK ;-)

“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.” - - - Henry Morgenthau Jr, Secretary of Treasury in 1939 under Franklin D. Roosevelt.


And now on to the regular posts from trj

Mr President, can you not just sit down and talk nicely with the North Korean dictator and our other war-mongering enemies. Democrats always criticized Bush 43 for not doing this!

The cost to operate Air Force One is $181,757.00 per hour. Flight time alone cost $8.7 million for the recent Asian trip.

Obama has spent more days abroad than any other president. Democrats always criticized Republican presidents for not focusing on domestic issues.

How does your garden grow? Remember when Ms Obama started promoting [WW II Victory] gardens at the White House soon after the election. Now we know why. These radical leftist Democrats plan to tax us back to subsistence level incomes.

Socialist style US government. Look at the socialist states like the USSR [now Russia], China, Cuba, Iran, etc. Party and government workers do well. Everyone else suffers but are given just enough to survive but not advance. There are exceptions: Military. Sports. Musicians. Artists. And Murders like Hussein, Stalin, Hitler, Castro and Amin moved up the hierarchy to positions of power because they were cold blooded killers.

TSA considering: Muslim women to do self-pat downs at airports. Will they turn themselves in when they find explosives. Is this not a hoot. TSA looking like a SNL skit.

The remaining far-left Democrats continue to push their lame duck agenda and further decimate their party with highly unpopular legislation. US taxpayers spoke against Democrats with their vote in 2010. The same US taxpayers will speak again even louder with their vote in 2012. Democrats are no long working for the American people. Their far left wing socialist agenda has failed across Europe and US taxpayers will not allow them to impose their disastrous economic plans on the USA.

Lawsuit reform. When Congress passed the health care bill earlier this year, they failed to include one of the most important and proven ways to actually increase access to quality, affordable health care: meaningful lawsuit reform. [US Chamber Institute for Legal Reform]

Largely pro-Democrat millionaires want tax cuts for high earners to stop. They want to pay more taxes. 11/20/10 [FYI: All US citizens and undocumented "visitors" are free to donate money to the US government when they wish.]

Obama's diesel-guzzling limo [called the "Beast"] drew sharp criticism at energy summit in Portugal. Other leaders drove in their zero-emission electric cars. 11/19/10

BTW: What are the energy costs for overnight battery charging in zero-emission electric cars. Reports reveal that the total cost of energy for "efficient" electric cars is higher than "fueled" cars when manufacturing costs are included.

AND, How will we develop the electricity to power our electric cars IF and when fossil fuels and nuclear power are banned?

Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved a bill to give Attorney General the right to shut down websites with a court order if copyright infringement is deemed “central to the activity” of the site, regardless if the website has actually committed a crime. 11/17/10 [Could the right jack be "deemed" radical?]

Shot across the bow. Mystery contrail off California coast Nov 8th was Chinese rocket fired from a sub, military experts say. Was observed by NORAD. Can't we just get along? Shhh! Big Gov cover-up happening.

Govt Payroll. Republicans was to freeze Govt wages, 10% pay cuts for some. Democrats seeking 1.4% pay increases across the board for 2.1 million Gov employees. Gov employees making $150,000 up 10 fold last 5 years.

ATF. Andrew Taver, Chicago office for The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BAFTE) is nominated as new chief of ATF by Obama. Taver is a strident anti-gun proponent. "The nomination of Andrew Traver is more proof that Barack Obama has complete disregard for the Second Amendment and the rights of firearms owners," said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb.

Nov 2010 Elections. Republican candidates for Congress had a 12-point advantage among men 53-41, a 7-point advantage among women 50-43. This finding is historic.

Republicans won married women by 57-38, suburban women by 55-38, and Independent women by 51-40. Democrats maintained reduced margins among single women, poor women, and minority group women.

Republicans won more than 20% of black vote.

Republicans down 20% on Hispanic vote. Anti-immigration stance needs to be re-framed and clarified.

States like GA PA TX to demand proof of citizenship for future presidential candidates. More states expected to pass this type of legislation.

Gun owners propel pro-gun candidates to Nov election day victories in several Congressional races – CO DE GA KY. And then there was WV Democrat who won with his hunting rifle ads.

Did you know that there are over 80 members of Congress who are SELF-PROCLAIMED Socialists, Communists or Socialist Sympathizers?

Did you know that 70 of these members of Congress actually hold (or have held) membership in the Democratic Socialists of America, American arm of Socialists International?

Did you know that 11 of the 20 standing committees in the House of Representatives are chaired by members of this radical group? [AmeriPac]

Delinquents: 638 Capitol Hill employees owe over $9.3 million in back taxes, but Congress. This is 4% of 18,000 Capitol Hill workers. IRS is covering it up to protect the guilty. Click here for more about $1 billion owed by federal workers nationwide.

RE: Congressman Rangel [D-NY]. Rangel was the guy on the House Ways and Means Committee, who wrote the nation's tax laws that apply to you, but not to him. They are establishing the principle that you, the subjects, are bound by the rules, but the rulers who make the rules are not bound by them. - - -Mark Steyn 11/19/10

700,000 joint replacements per year in USA. TSA nightmare for scanners and pat-downs. So, avoid flying until airline management figures out what the people already know about who are the real threats.

Congress getting richer. Wealth up 16% from 2008 to 2009. More than 50% of all 261 members were millionaires. Many own shares in major health-care and financial-services sectors. Insider trading?

If you want to get rich quick, get elected to the US Senate. Way past time for term limits and elimination of golden retirement packages. - - - trj

Median wealth of a representative in 2009 was $765,010, up from $645,503 in 2008, while that of a senator was almost $2.38 million, versus $2.27 million the previous year.

U.S. median household income dropped 3% to $50,221 between 2008 and 2009.

US can reach balanced budget by 2016 if Congress will freeze spending. Sooner if they cut waste and duplication. [Cato Institute]

US Post office $8 billion cost overruns. Bad management or unproductive employees? Saturday mail delivery in Canada was eliminated by Canada Post on February 1, 1969.

California charges in-state tuition to illegals but out of state tuition for US students from other states. Readers may not know that colleges get state money based on FTEs [full time equivalencies]. College administrators, but not necessarily faculty, can generate FTE revenue from legal or illegal students. BUT CA is broke. So, guess where they get their money? US Taxpayers, of course.

The majority of union members work for government. 7.9 million in private sector in 2009. 15.3 million in government in 2009.

New government union approved for TSA. Have we learned nothing about how union seniority has raised costs, lowered quality and hurt the US economy.

Body Scan Protest set for November 24, 2010. People asked to refuse full body pat-downs. Remember the song "Don't Mess With My Tutu" by Denise LeSelle.

CAIR advises muslim females in hijabs [burkas?] to allow only head and neck searches. New strategy for terrorists?

"Let me help you pack!" What Gov Chris Christie [R-NJ] told one of the top NJ school administrators when that person commented publicly that he could leave New Jersey and go to another state if his $242,000 total compensation were to be capped under the governor’s proposed rule.

Thought for the day: Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist"

Body Scans: These are violations of Sharia law, according to CAIR. Does this mean that muslims will no longer book themselves on commercial flights? Maybe Congress will decide that muslims will no longer be required to go through body scans - just little old ladies, white guys, and perhaps babes.

Anyone who thought Harry Reid would respond to his bruising re-election campaign and huge Democratic losses nationally by moving to the center, away from President Obama's agenda and toward a new focus on economic growth, is about to be proved wrong. . . . The Senate majority leader from Nevada intends to use the lame-duck session that begins Monday to push for passage of the Dream Act, a form of amnesty for illegal immigrants." - - - Las Vegas Review-Journal, November 14, 2010

Big Gov: Bloggers in Philadelphia must have a business privilege license. [Neil Boortz]

Bombshell: FEMA Camps for US citizens. Click Here to read what Big Gov is hiding. The “Police State” episode proves once and for all that the Feds have trained to take on American citizens, planned for riots and disasters and made preparations to maintain order at any cost.

G20 Summit no friend to Obama despite his election rants about the shortcomings of Bush 43 in foreign relations.

European nations cut spending amid public protests. Democrats in USA continue to push policies that brought massive deficits to Europe, which in turn, made the current spending cuts absolutely vital to European economic survival.

AlGore gives climate speech and lets rental car idle for 1 hour, a violation of Swedish law. He continues to dodge, evade and ignore reporters.

US sending billions of dollars annually to dead people via Social Security, HUD, Medicaid, Aids. How can Big Gov possibly monitor any kind of national health care system.

November election sees Union vote split 49%-47% for Democrats.

NCAA playoff system for football likely in 5 years. Congress wants to meddle. Did you know that President Teddy Roosevelt intervened in 1905 to clean up the injury situation in college football?

California boy gets in trouble at school for having the US flag on his bicycle. Who is uncomfortable being in the presence of the US Flag? Spies in Russia and Iran? Middle eastern cave dwellers? Somali pirates? Democrats? Educators? Job creators? US taxpayers? US citizens? Who? See follow up story - Click Here.

Sanctuary Cities. The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program [SCAAP], report from Center for Immigration Studies, found that federal grant program allocated $62.2 million - more than 15% of its $400 million total - to 27 jurisdictions that are widely considered to be "sanctuary communities."

The President of the United States and the Commander-in-Chief of the US Military is AWOL on Veterans Day. November 11, 2010

Democrats pat Nancy Pelosi on the back with one hand and push her to the back of the bus with the other hand. [A recent phrase by Obama] Voters know that she destroyed the Democrat majority with radical leftist agenda. It appears that she is not going to get a 2nd chance.

There are 7,830 banks in the USA and 437 are in immediate danger of failing. Source: Advertisement

South Korea to make robotic Obama bobblehead dolls in trilateral trade deal. US to feed North Korea. South Korea to buy the Obama/US fleet of cars, planes and ships and he will throw in GM.

Students in UK riot over tuition increases. Cannot wait until they must balance their own family budgets.

Obama not vetted when candidate for Senate from Illinois. Birth issues not going away.

Texas cheerleader ordered to cheer for basketball player who allegedly raped her or go home. Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals supports the alleged rapist.

KSU nutrition professor loses 27 pounds in 10 weeks on an 1800 calorie per day diet of Twinkies. Would that work with my favorite cookies? Worth trying. Remember to take your vitamins if you want to try it.

Lefty news readers on “more opinion than news” programs still pegging Republicans and Conservatives as angry. Should US Taxpayers be happy about having our income diluted and hard earned savings confiscated by the actions of Big Democrat Government?

72% of black children are born to single women. [Gov report]

Communist Party USA website scrubbed of references that stated it "actively supported" the election of President Obama.

Rift among Republicans. Old guard [i.e., ruling party elite and wannabes] seems to want compromise with Democrats. New blood on the right wants to stop all of the Democrat budget busting programs like health spending, energy taxes, and ineffective bailouts. 70% of those polled did not want Obamacare. The Party of No has the people on their side but not the ruling party.

ACORN bankruptcy hoax? Click Here for the story. 11/5/10 [New names? Same corrupt agenda?]

ACORN files for bankruptcy. Click Here to read the story. 11/4/10

Unemployment still at 9.6% since late summer. Over 9% since May. And government is still trying to spend us out of this Democrat economic mess.

San Francisco prohibits toys in Mickey D Happy Meals. Medical marijuana still OK ;-)

GM [Government Motors] given $45 Billion tax break by Obama to improve their profits so they can sell more stock. Ironically, Dems do not admit that this "tax cut" principle would work for all businesses nationwide. 10/4/10

Do Republicans ever gain votes when recounts are done? Laws of probability do not operate during vote recounts even when Republicans are known to send in more absentee ballots than Democrats. Hmmmmm!

Obama takes 3,000 people to Asia on 40 jetliners plus 570 rooms along with six cars for 10 days. Cost pegged at $200 million per day. One day is over 33,000 - $60,000 jobs in just one year. Nice example of thrift when 17% of the people are unemployed.

Republicans pledge to stop Obama, stop government spending and lower taxes.

Republicans and Conservatives gain seats in House, Senate, State legislatures and governorships. Democrats claim communications problems.

Democrats in CA, MA, MD, NV re-elect those who created the mortgage fiasco, foreclosures, high taxes, growing unemployment, massive national debt and highly unpopular health care. And we, the US Taxpayers, are probably going to be the ones who bail them out. When will these politicians ever balance their budgets.

Quantatitive easing, Part 2 => The Fed to print $600 billion more US dollars => Inflation => Our money is worth less => US Taxpayers lose ground.

Earmarks = 1/2 of 1% of the federal budget.

“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work.” - - - The person who said this in 1939 was Henry Morgenthau Jr, Secretary of Treasury under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Morgenthau was one of Roosevelt's closest advisers.

Sarah Palin taking shots from the Left, saying that she is doing no "hard" interviews. Have you heard the "touchie-feelie" softball questions Democrats get in their interviews by their like-minded Democrats in the media. Taxes, spending, jobs, economy, energy and czars not mentioned in any penetrating way.

On the campaign trail, Obama claims creating wind farm jobs that were actually created during Bush 43.

On the campaign trail, Obama, verbally jousts with aids hecklers, claiming that Democrat are spending on aids but not Republicans. In truth, Bush 43 made major increases in spending on aids.
