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.

Michelle Bachman [R-MN] latest target for Democrat strategy based on the politics of personal destruction. Republican women and African Americans not exempt from Democrat attacks.

Summer of discontent? Predictions. We are in for civic unrest, revolts and riots planned by Liberal Progressives Left Wing Democrats staged by bussed-in radicals, students and unions over wage cuts, wage freezes, spending cuts and tuition hikes like those that have been staged in Europe over the past 10 years or more. US economic collapse be damned. Republicans to be blamed, naturally.

Neil Boortz provides numerous examples where crime has gone down when citizens carry guns. Boortz.com. 1/14/11 [Radical Liberal Progressive Left Wing Democrats will not like this. Obama Puppet Media not likely to report it. -trj]

Jacob Volkmann, UFS fighter, placed on administrative leave as 3-year part time wrestling coach at White Bear Lake High School [MN] after he insulted President Obama’s intelligence and challenged the commander in chief to a fight. “They didn’t like how I was representing the school,” he said. “They said I was representing them bad because of what I said about the president and his policies.” [The Western Center for Journalism]

Richard Steele steps down in running for head of RNC. To show their allegiance to diversity, Democrats should begin to cry racism by Republicans. Republican history of diversity far surpasses Democrats. 1/14/11

Gov extravagance? Federal Employees’ Compensation Act [FECA], which Big Gov launched in 1916, covers lost wages for federal employees who suffer on-the-job injuries. Many federal workers stay on this program well into retirement. Federal workers on disability can get nearly 75% of their salary tax-free for the rest of their life if they have one dependent, with annual cost of living adjustments. Click Here to read more.

Big Gov Golden Pension Plans to receive close scrutiny by Republicans.

Ever wonder how documented US citizens who are elected to Congress soon become millionaires on their Big Government salaries.

Raising the US debt ceiling and printing billion of dollars by the US Treasury means inflation at best and monetary collapse at worst ... when the US Dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency. The latter is happening right now. Obama Puppet Media covering this up at our expense.

U.S. homes receiving foreclosure filing will climb about 20% in 2011, reaching a peak for housing crisis, as unemployment remains high and banks resume seizures after a slowdown. [RealtyTrac Inc.]

Home values have fallen 26% since their peak in June 2006, worse than the 25.9% decline seen during Depression years between 1928 and 1933, November marked 53rd consecutive month (4½ years) that home values have fallen. [Katie Curnutte, Zillow PR Manager, January 11, 2011] Obama puppets in the media continues to deceive the US Taxpayers and put a positive spin on this failing economy.

Caution: Will the US Dollar collapse under devaluation by US Treasury and continue to lose status as the world’s reserve currency. Pattern from 1937 being repeated. Precious metals like gold and silver and non-dollar currency baskets may lead the way for saving the day for you personally. Click here. Listen to 20+ minute history lesson.

Taxes. Illinois to raise state taxes rather than cut spending. $15B deficit coming. Personal income taxes up from 3% to 5%. Corporate rates up from 4.8% to 7% when Dem Gov Pat Quinn signs the bill. Surrounding states eager to accept Illinois businesses, jobs, residents. "It's like living next door to The Simpsons - the dysfunctional family down the block," Indiana Gov Mitch Daniels said in interview on Chicago's WLS-AM.

Lesson not learned: NJ raised luxury boat taxes in NJ. Companies in that industry left NJ taking tax revenue and jobs with them.

The problem with socialism is that sooner or later "you run out of other people's money." - - - Margaret Thatcher, former UK PM

Gun law. Montana, which came up with the idea that the guns made, sold and kept inside its borders simply are exempt from federal regulations and made that its law, is considering a new [jurisdictional] weapon that could be used to cancel much of the authority of federal agents over its residents. 1/12/11 [WND]

Dems still using AZ shooting to stir up political support for gun control. Since the shooter was a “left wing nut,” perhaps we should restrict “their” use of guns.

AZ shooter called a "left wing pothead" by friend. Parents perplexed. Shooter escapes blame. Obama bumper sticker on his car. Liberal and Progressive Leftists trying to analyze him while still blaming this shooting on All Things Conservative.

Cross Hairs Clarification: The target symbol on the Palin political map that was decried by the left is actually an official US Big Gov map surveyor symbol used to designate important places. It does not signify a target. By contrast, Democrats have actually used bullseyes in their online maps. See Sarah Palin’s map at boortz.com. 1/10/11

Democrat spin is in full force seeking to destroy all opposition. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This could not be seen more clearly than with the Democrat Congress from 2007 and the current Democrat administration from 2009 to the present. -trj

My petition to end ObamaCare: Repeal it. End it. Don't mend it. It is unfortunate that so many people in America, [citizens, tax payers and illegals] do not have predictable insurance coverage but US taxpayers cannot cover them all without killing the Golden Goose. ... the right jack [NewsMax.com]

That did not take long. Left wing ideological kooks like Paul Krugman, Keith Olberman and Jane Fonda instantly blame Tea Party, Sarah Palen and talk radio for Arizona shooting. Giffords did not vote for Pelosi for Speaker. Giffords may be more Conservative than some RINOs.

Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin tells CNN's "State of the Union" that "toxic rhetoric" can lead unstable individuals to believe violence is an acceptable response. [AP]

Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., is warning against blaming political groups for the attack. [AP]

Leftist. Arizona shooter showed leftist preferences in his droppings including Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf by Hitler. NAZI = National Socialist Party.

Flash: Gabrielle Giffords [AZ - D, 8th Dist] shot at public event at grocery store in Tucson, Pima County. Reports differ on whether people who were shot were wounded or killed. Shooter captured, a 22 year old goth. Giffords was elected to the US House in 2006. 1/8/11

Somali islamists ban men and women from shaking hands. Is this the kind of religious and political tolerance that Democrat women want to recognize and legalize in the USA? Want to compare that to our past “back of the bus” policies? Both disgraceful and dehumanizing. 1/7/10

House of Rep GOP assault on ObamaCare to begin Wednesday 1/12/11. Gonna make Dems vote up or down on keep it or end it legislation. Once defeated, new improved health care legislation to follow.

Passports. Parent 1 and Parent 2. The words “mother” and “father” will be removed from U.S. passport applications. Replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.

Filibuster Rule. Harry Reid is launching colossal power grab that will make it impossible for GOP to filibuster cases like liberal Supreme Court nominations. Reid is pushing to change the filibuster rules this week to a simple majority of 51 instead of the original 2/3s. This rule change would also make it easier for Dems to ram legislation through the Senate. [AmeriPAC]

Amidst escalating violence, BAFTE (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) is forcing citizens in the Border States to register their firearms! The new proposed federal gun policy will require sellers to notify the bureau when a person buys two or more semi-automatic guns that are .22 caliber or greater within five business days. Final decision is up to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA.) OIRA is headed by Cass Sunstein, Obama's regulatory Czar and close buddy. [CCRKBA]

• Domestic discretionary spending (non-defense) has risen by an astonishing 41% in two years!
• Welfare spending, primarily Medicaid, has gone up by 54% in two years!
We must roll back these increases. It is not increases in Social Security at 14% or Medicare at 16% that are the problem. [1/7/11 DickMorris.com]

Justice Elena Kagan to face impeachment hearings for altering evidence in a testimonial letter. Clearly defrauded the Supreme Court when she worked for the Clinton White House. Fax or email your support to your members of Congress. [Life and Liberty PAC]

33% of 4th graders in America are functionally illiterate, according to 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress

The truth is "hate speech" only to those who have something to hide [Michael Rivero]

Republicans in US House of Representatives read US Constitution at opening session of 112th Congress. Democrat comments included disdain for and irrelevancy of the Constitution they swore to uphold.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

$292. Average salary of stagehands in NYC is $292,000 annually.

In my early teaching days, San Francisco sanitation workers made 4-6 times my teaching salary.

Financial experts, who in the past were non-partisan, continue to make dire predictions about a failing US economy in 2011 or 2012.

GM in trouble? Financial expert says that GM is selling a lot of program cars to rental companies and the like. Why? Their sales to the general public is not where it needs to be. Obama media reports that GM is doing well. Experts do not agree.

Unplug appliances. Your washer, dryer, curling iron, computer and printer draw electricity even when not in use. Unplug them. Save 10% to 20% a month on your electric bill.

Bipartisan Bumper Sticker: I will hug your elephant if you will kiss my ass.

Bipartisanship. When Democrats are in power it means that Republicans must agree with them. When Republicans are in power, Democrats demand their input on all matters.

Whining. Listen now for all of the Democrat whining about the need for bipartisanship. When Democrats were in power over the past two year, Republicans were excluded from nearly all deliberations.

Inflation. Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said at last year’s shareholders meeting of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. that “the prospects for significant inflation have increased.”

Still no mention of The Unions by NY Gov in connection with the massive snow clean up “slow down disaster” in NYC. Should public sector unions be dissolved for the good of the people? Finally mentioned on page A10 of NYT on 1/5/11

Cancun Summit. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy.” In fact, it has “almost nothing to do with the environmental policy.” Its real purpose “is redistributing the world's wealth and natural resources.” [CFACT]

Obama, undocumented president. At least 5 men are imprisoned in Ft. Leavenworth, KS for allegedly following illegal orders issued in the Iraq/Afghanistan conflict. Now LTC Terry Lakin is incarcerated at this same military prison for REFUSING to follow illegal orders! [Proof Positive]

ObamaCare has imposed new taxes on drug makers, restrictions on tax-free medical spending and caused colossal rate hikes on healthcare insurance premiums! [American Political Action Committee, AmeriPac.]

Obama Health Care:
• They claimed rates would go down... True or False
• They claimed all children would be covered... True or False
• They claimed you could keep your current plan... True or False
• They claimed you would see no increase in your taxes... True or False
• True. This is what Democrat claimed and still claim. All answers are False. Democrats Lied. [AmeriPAC]

US population at 309 million. Have not seen if that figure includes the people who are not to be called “illegal aliens.”

Pilgrims. Should we now call our illegal aliens pilgrims. Gives that word expanded meanings in the 21st Century where Democrats want our sovereign borders to disappear. Will Cuba let the world's pilgrims settle there. Canada? Venezuela? North Korea? Iran? Saudi Arabia? Palestine? No pilgrim in their right mind wants to go to Mexico without an army for support.

Obama losing support from white male Democrats. Strong approval down from 70% to just 33%. [Rasmussen] Racist Democrats, no doubt. -trj

111th Democrat Congress has created more US debt the past two years than all other US Congresses combined. Democrats have spent more than can be sustained without seizing the assets of US Taxpayers, voters, rich and poor.

32. Barack Obama, undocumented President, has played golf 32 times since he took office, 8 more than his predecessor George W. Bush did in his entire presidency.

Some economic forecasters and news organizations are painting a more rosy picture in 2011 for jobs and the economy.

Obama [the one with undocumented US birth] was sent a letter by members of US House of Representatives correcting numerous omissions and factual errors he has knowingly made while representing USA and the US Constitution here and abroad. Click here to see the letter. [Patriot Action Network] 12/6/10

Print media strategy. Readers cannot rely on media headlines to tell the true story. Why? Headlines positive for Obama. Then the story often shows negative effects of Obama policies. Read the entire story.

IRS. 50 million taxpayers who itemize their deductions asked to hold off until mid to late February before they file. IRS needs to reprogram due to late action on tax code by Congress. About 9 million of 140 million U.S. tax filers filed in January or February last year.

1/1/11 Happy New Year. Watch all of the bowl games responsibly.

Watch for latest fake news stories again this year about increased incidences of spouse abuse because of football.

US economic problems, spreading like a cancer after Democrats took over Congress in 2007, predicted to be disastrous for all Americans by the end of 2011. IF that occurs, watch Democrats and the Big Time Dying US Media blame all Republicans and the Republican House of Representatives in particular.

Cities losing residents: New Orleans. Flint MI. Cleveland OH. Buffalo NY. Dayton OH. Pittsburgh PA. Rochester NY. 1/1/10

Gasoline prices at the pump predicted to go up to $4/gallon and then finish the year at $5/gallon.

Look at the list of 61 Lame Ducks in Congress who almost succeeded in passing an amnesty bill. Think how much safer American workers will be next year because these 61 are not returning. [NumbersUSA]

US businesses pay the highest corporate taxes. Democrats refuse to allow US corporations to bring their profits back to the USA without huge tax penalties. So US companies are investing their profits overseas by building manufacturing plants and hiring "their" local labor. Then Democrats whine about US companies shipping jobs overseas.

Incorporate in Nevada is a prevalent internet e-blast. If unions can save Harry Reed from political extinction, imagine what the unions can do for your new Nevada business.

Top Political Strategy. Since the 1950s, Democrats and their media have found it quite easy to employ the Politics of Personal Destruction against any Republican who surfaces as a potential political threat.
