Really? January 16-31, 2010

Highlights of the month

Dilemma for the right jack. Political news on the right and left has been keeping my daily capsule reports flowing like the billions of dollars in Big Dem Government spending. Starting today, the 16th, I am separating the Really? Monthly News Capsules into two sections – 1st thought the 15th and then the 16th through the end of the month.

How do you know Democrats are guilty? When Democrats start taking heat for their shady activities, Democrats are "knee-jerk" quick to draw Republicans into the criticisms and shift the blame to both parties. =trj

If guns kill then do spoons make me fat? Do pens and computers make me mispell words?

The Undocumented One = The Alleged Citizen. Proof of US birth still missing.

Democrat Strategy? Overwhelm the US economy in every way imaginable with centralization, bailouts, loans, credits, rules, regulations, taxes, etc. Increase government jobs. Penalize employers. Destroy private sector jobs. Create unemployment. Create government dependence. Blame Republicans. After two years, begin talking about creating jobs to usher in approaching November 2012 re-election season.

2011 is an unusual year. We will experience 4 uncommon dates, 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, and 11/11/11. Now go figure this out. Take the last 2 digits of the year you were born, plus the age you will be this year and it will equal 111.

See my comments about Neil Boortz at Educational Awareness. For instance, producing "men of letters' was not a goal of public education in the early years of the nation. Boortz is one of my favorite radio talk show hosts.

And now on to our regular posts

Dear God, All I ask for in 2011 is a big, fat bank account and a slim body. Please don't mix these up like you did last year. Amen.

Terrorist arrested. US Border Patrol agents captured radical Muslim cleric, Jaziri, age 44, attempting to illegally sneak into USA across California-Mexican border. This terrorism supporting cleric has been banned from France, Canada and US police sources told the Law Enforcement Examiner. Jaziri gained notoriety when he ordered his followers to "execute" the controversial Danish cartoonist who drew pictures of the prophet Mohammed. Jaziri had been deported from Canada to Tunisia in 2007 after Canadian immigration officials discovered that he had fabricated statements on his refugee application. Prior to that he had been imprisoned in France on terrorism-related charges. [DAPAC 1/29/11]

Egypt. The Undocumented One [TUO] scolded Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak saying that he must respond to the wishes of his people and stop the dictatorial powers of his special police force, among other things. Yet, TUO completely ignores these admonitions when it comes to what he is doing to US voters as he bypasses Congress with HealthCare, waivers, his Czars, special buy-outs and selective enforcement of the laws by his Department of Justice. 1/28/11 =trj

Muslim Brotherhood appears to be in the center of the revolt to take over Egypt. Iraq seems to be within their grasp as well when US forces abandon the Afghan and Iraqi people.

The Undocumented one [UDO] appears to have absolutely no foreign policy strategy or experience to protect the USA from terrorist nations. That comes as no surprise to those who voted against him and Democrats in 2008 and 2010 elections. Economic policies of Obama and the Democrats are the biggest threat to US freedom and independence in our history.

40% of those who are exempt from ObamaCare are union members.

Energy Poverty. New anti-accomplishment way to rob wealthy nations with responsible governance of their wealth to benefit those who live without electricity or efficient cooking and heating, while lacking responsible governance. Note that much charitable giving ends up in the private bank accounts of despots.

ACLU and US Department of Justice in cahoots against State of Arizona’s immigration legislation.

What do Hugo Chavez, Adolph Hitler, Harry Reid and Barack Obama have in common? They were all duly elected officials that ran on Socialist platforms, who immediately went to work illegally changing rules and subverting their constitutions with the intention of “fundamentally transforming” their republics into Dictatorships. The first two succeeded. Will we allow Reid and Obama to follow in their footsteps? [DAPAC]

All evidence to date confirms that the alleged killer in the recent AZ mayhem is an apolitical, pot-head, psychotic loner personally obsessed with the Democrat Congresswoman he had targeted.

Real estate sales still going down. Grocery prices going up. Gasoline prices up. Total unemployment at 15%-20%. Dollar losing value to other world currencies. US Big Gov printing more money = inflation. Obama Puppet Media continues to put happy face on their reports about US economy. =trj

Tuesday night ". . . President Obama highlighted the urgent need to revitalize our economy, create jobs, build a world-class infrastructure system, and strengthen America's competitiveness in his State of the Union address. America must move swiftly to create millions of jobs, unshackle entrepreneurs and small businesses, and restore America's economic leadership around the globe—or we will be left behind." [Sounds great. Let’s see if his actions match his talk. =trj]

Truth is Elusive. Financial meltdown of 2008 was avoidable according to Sewell Chan NYT writer on 1/25/11. Blame spread around. “The government commission [Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission] that investigated the financial crisis casts a wide net of blame, faulting two administrations, the Federal Reserve and other regulators for permitting a calamitous concoction: shoddy mortgage lending, the excessive packaging and sale of loans to investors, and risky bets on securities backed by the loans.” … “Portions of the dissents are included in the report, which is being published as a paperback book (with a cover price of $14.99) by PublicAffairs, along with an official version by the Government Printing Office.” Dissent to the final published report to be written by 3 Republicans. Click Here for the article, if it is still available on line.

The short article above did not mention that Democrat policy directives, starting with Carter and then Clinton, forced lenders, under penalty of government sanctions, to make no-money-down loans to millions of people who could not and then did not make their home mortgage payments. Massive numbers of loan defaults were the result. This resulted in a banking economy based on bad paper. Again, it started with Carter and then Clinton. Democrats in Bush 43 administration gave bad advice and Bush 43 did not verify their bailout recommendations. =trj

Paul Gaspard, longtime ACORN operative and hatchet man to take over reins of the Democratic National Committee as executive director in time to begin initial preparations for President Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.

Explaining Keynesian Economics: A supporter of Keynesian economics believes it is the government's job to smooth out the bumps in business cycles. Intervention would come in the form of government spending and tax breaks in order to stimulate the economy, and government spending cuts and tax hikes in good times, in order to curb inflation.

In 1959, the Senate made it ILLEGAL for any future Senate, at the beginning of a new Congress, to force a rules change unless approved by 2/3 of all duly sworn senators. This was specifically enacted to preserve the checks and balances on political power mongers, and prevent a narrow majority from subverting the will of the people while establishing itself as a dictatorial ruling party. Dirty Harry Reid [D-NV] has decided the law does not apply to Marxists like himself. He has decided that only a simple majority, (50 Democrats + Joe Biden), is all it takes to change the rules. Apparently, Harry’s new motto is “if you can’t beat ‘em, cheat ‘em – old school Vegas mobster mentality at its best. 1/25/11

Will Democrats and Republicans be able to play together nicely in the sandbox tonight during the State of the Union Campaign Stop by the Undocumented One.

What birth certificate? Mike Evans spoke with Hawaii Gov Neil Abercrombie. Was told that he searched relevant Hawaii hospitals using his powers as governor, and concluded, according to Evans, "There is no Barack Obama birth certificate in Hawaii, absolutely no proof at all that Obama was born in Hawaii." 1/24/11 [The Western Center for Journalism] So what’s next? Maybe The Undocumented One will deem himself born in Hawaii. =trj

The Abercrombie interviewer above recanted his story. 1/26/11

Sign or Veto. Obama is moving toward the Political Center in his comments and speeches. His entire history of actions [i.e., voting] however, places him on the far left fringe. Let’s see how he “acts” on Republican legislation from the House of Representatives IF Democrats in the Senate vote with Republicans, thus putting legislation on his desk to sign or veto.

For US Taxpayers, “Investments” talk by Democrats means spend, Spend, SPEND US Taxpayer money.

Big US Gov Helps Unions Get Forced Dues. See post here at the right jack dated 1/22/11

Card Check legislation hinders American employers. H.R. 800, the "Employee Free Choice Act," would replace secret ballot elections at workplaces. Unions can do away with secret ballots … a fundamental right in a democracy. Big Labor can unionize companies simply by persuading, cajoling or coercing a majority of workers into signing a card. All employees would have to pay union dues as soon as 50% of employees sign a petition [a "card"] demanding a union. The "card-signing" would not be private, so everybody will know who did not sign the card. Dissenters might be "encouraged" to change their minds. Under The Undocumented One, union intimidation could become the law of the land.

Garbage in. Garbage out. Media Research Center's own Business and Media Institute released report spotlighting the fact that since President Obama took office, only 16% of health care stories mentioning the CBO included the flaws in their methods. Once again, the liberal media are playing gatekeeper with information--choosing what you should or shouldn't hear about ObamaCare. . . . Speaker John Boehner [R-OH] points out that the "CBO can only provide a score based on the assumptions [that means cost figures] that are given to them", adding "if you go back and look at the health care bill and the assumptions that were given to them, you see all of the double counting that went on." [MRC 1/21/11]

Act 2. Senator Harry Reid [D-NV] wants to block-stop-avoid Obama Health Care repeal vote in Senate. Why? He does not want his jittery Democrat Senators to vote with Republicans in an attempt to save their Senatorial jobs in the November 2012 election.

Double Standard on Budget Cuts. Democrats have started whining over possible budget cuts. They want to know exactly what is being cut be Republicans. However, Democrats had no interest in learning what was in ObamaCare bill and budget when passed. In fact, Nancy Pelosi said on 3/8/10 that the bill had to be passed so they could see what was in it.

Are calls for civility by Democrats just another way to tell Republicans to shut up? In the meantime, Democrats in Congress and in Obama Puppet Media have stepped up their slanderous name calling rants.
