We suffered a malfunction. The lights went out on our main site. At first I thought, okay, it must have been the article that Dee recently managed to slip by the editorial staff at the Daily Kos. My imagination summoned a legion of spittle-drooling, knuckle-dragging hackers in their mothers’ basements mounting an assault against our sites.

We had certainly stirred up an ants nest over there, as it was. There were some panties over there so twisted up it was cutting off their circulation. We had much the same thing happen a couple of times when the Huff ‘n Puff Post published a couple of our articles, probably because an editor published off a headline or a sub-head without reading the article. The results were hysterical. It was just as though we took a stick and stirred up a nest of Texas Fire Ants. Some of them actually actively looked for us for several months. Cute trick, since we publish from ‘somewhere’ in Wales.

So the lights went out and it was because of the bank’s apparent inability to post a payment on time. Gee, there it is, Dee… we’re victims. Victims of big banking. What a hoot. That’s exactly what the whole ‘progressive’ movement is all about. Taking victimization and attempting to codify it.

As genuinely sick and tired as I am of listening to the statist Lame Stream Press carry water for the left and its Marxist agenda, I can take solace from readers comments on the subject saying much the same things. They are (the statists) steadily losing ground and influence, and they know it.  read more »

Or, depending on where you are on the conspiracy ladder, all is according to plan. So how’s that nation-building scheme workin’ now, Mr President? It’s apparent that wherever our young President dabbles in mid-east diplomacy, the crescent is in ascendancy.

It made me laugh listening to the academized boneheads of the administration vomiting forth platitudes of a ‘democratic Arab Spring’… a democratic Egypt… a democratic Libya. Kumbaya and other fairy tails.

Meanwhile, our intrepid Barack Hussein works diligently to ensure that our mission in Afghanistan fails and the Taliban take over. Starve our troops in Afghanistan of tactical support, as well as supply. Cripple them with rules of engagement just short of suicidal. The finest military in the world wasted… for what? A monument to Barack Obama’s cowardice? Or something more sinister?

Desperation move. Barack Obama, in a desperate move to pull his fragmented base together, has summarily declared that our remaining 25,000 troops in Iraq will be removed, leaving that country undefended. This is a very poor political decision fraught with peril. If we have to go back into Iraq, which is a pretty fair possibility, it will cost far more in American lives and treasure than had we simply stayed there as the strongly stabilizing influence we have been.  read more »

I have a feeling I'm being bamboozled lately. What's this thing about Mexican trucks being allowed to cross the U. S. border and bring goods into the United States? Don't we have enough problems with people--mostly illegals--smuggling drugs and people over the border without a free-for-all for Mexican trucks?

This whole issue goes back to 2009 when a pilot program was in place to allow trucks from approved vendors to cross deep into the U. S. to deliver goods. At the time, the albeit new President, Barack Obama, pulled the plug on the program—and Mexico decided to put tariffs on some of their agricultural products being shipped to the United States. Ah, but when a meeting of the minds took place this past summer, the tariffs all but disappeared—and tomorrow, those same (2009) pre-approved vendors will be rolling along our highways.

(I wonder if we boycotted Mexican produce avec tariffs, if their economy would disintegrate.)

So, is this about trade and tariffs? Why isn’t Mexico paying for the monitoring devices to be installed on all Mexican trucks from selected companies south of the border that are allowed entry?

And what about U. S. teamsters and those involved in transportation of goods inside the U. S.? Won't jobs be lost?

So, what’s the up-side of this program for the U. S. taxpayer?

These are some of the questions one would hope that President Obama had considered prior to his taxpayer-paid journey to Mexico to see President Felipe Calderon. There, the two heads-of-states put their heads together to come up with such a plan. Frankly, I am concerned about Mexican trucks' access to U. S. Highways and safety issues.

What is the down-side?

Yes, my thoughts exactly -- the security issue. On occasion, the national news media hits on the topic of a "dirty bomb" being sent through shipping containers to large ports here in the Unites States. What's to keep terrorists from sending one through on a tractor-trailer bound for Texas? They'd only need to get as far as the border to release their evil plans on unsuspecting border inspectors who are looking for Listeria on cantaloupes.

It's obvious to me that Obama was not concerned with these issues--though one would hope his staff was. And mark my words: We haven't just opened the door to foreign trade with a contiguous neighbor--we have opened the door to what remains of our once-secure future.

This will be short, as night has fallen and it's time for me to retire with my latest reading material and the dog.

Earlier, I was watching the Occupy Wall Streeters on the national news again, listening to them and reading signs, and I finally saw one sign that was "out of the closet," so to speak. It read, "Join Socialism."

Straight and to the point.

No cries of the poor, or of being bottom feeders of the 1%. No caterwauling about wanting to destroy Corporate America or Capitalism. No nothing, except honesty--which in this case is offensive to my sense of patriotism.

The Wolves in Sheeps' Clothing are none other than the Dems, trying to hide their Socialist mantle and yet affect the masses with their faux rhetoric, or not. One needs to look no further than the fecal mess and scattered trash on private park property to know the stand they take is solely for themselves, so that their idea of government will evolve to see to their every need, no matter how slight.

After all, how could they afford to take a month off work to protest, if Corporate America wasn't paying their way?

I’ve been quite proud of the way our Republican House has behaved, for the most part… and disappointed in our leadership in equal proportion. In this political environment, here and now is the time… there is no tomorrow if we don’t deal with the reality of today. We simply do not have the luxury of fostering a weak leadership, whose first instinct on any issue is to compromise. We must have solid conservative leadership grounded in the fundamentals of the Constitution.

The truth in pictures. Would you rather be here.....?

The establishment Republicans have all but allied themselves with the DeMarxists in their efforts to delegitimize the Patriot Movement. The attacks in the statist Lame Stream Press have been incessant, with the usual spiels starting with charges of racism and then running the full gamut of leftist bleatings… ‘We’re (the Tea Party) going to stuff granny in the dumpster, wheelchair and all’. ‘We’re against women and children, because we oppose the Department of Education and the teachers’ unions’.

.... or here? (I know where the police would rather be).

Texas High School Students Made To Recite Mexican National Anthem, Mexican Pledge Of Allegiance 

As if this nation did not have enough problems, now we learn that a high school in Texas, Achieve Early College High School, a public high school in the state of Texas. Just knowing the United States National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance is not enough anymore, students must now learn to have a little pride for their neighbors to the south as well.

These students were forced to stand and recite these Mexican Allegiances, and the one girl who refused was forced to do another assignment. The school defends the action because it is a state requirement that all students learn a second language, but I do not think it is a requirement to force students to pledge allegiance to another country, especially during the week of the anniversary of 9/11. This also took place, funny enough, on Constitution Day, and the student, Brenda Brinsdon, made her complaints known to the school district. Her father also made complaints to the district as well, but was told this is required for the students. Watch the video and tell me what should be required in this video?  read more »

You're protesting the wrong "Robber Barons"

As usual the liberal progressive socialist Marxist's have got it wrong. They are currently ranting and raving about bankers, investors, corporate CEO's, etc., who based on their performance and guidance, reap the rewards of their fiscal acumen. Most of these perceived "Robber Barons" are paid on the profitability of said corporations they run. They in essence get paid on the value of their work not the volume or lack there of like most of the unions thugs and Democratic politicians and communist idealists like the Hollywood crowd that now join their ranks.

The problem with the government educated useless idiots that "Occupy Wall Street" cannot be summed up in a few words, because they themselves, as all "useless idiots" are, are a mob with a mob mentality not a singular view point. Their anti-American progressive socialist behavior is too deeply rooted. It has been hammered into them by a corrupted education system that since the formation of the Dept. of Education by the Socialist Ruling Class Elites has focused entirely on indoctrinating this Nations youth into their dogma. They have spent the last 144 years creating it.  read more »

Occupy Wall Street Protesters Suspicious Of Plan To Move Them From Park To Clean

Maybe if George Soros told them to move they would listen! (You like that little way I worked in George Soros and these protests, right? Yeah, I know you did!) In all seriousness though, worrying that they will not let you back in after they clean is not something that they can control anyway. The city could decide to change where the protesters are allowed to be, and they would be within their rights to do so.  read more »

So while you were California dreaming… that’s if you still had a California job, that’s if your company hasn’t had to pull up stakes and head for business-friendly territory out of the increasingly repressive governance of (Red) Jerry Brown and his equally (red) state legislature, better known, perhaps, as Ali Brownee and the sixty-seven banditos… the 43 Republicans in the legislature, for the most part, have been valiantly but largely ineffectively trying to slow the Marxist juggernaut, which with the aid and collusion of the state’s public service unions, whose collective unfunded liability to the state is in excess of 40 billion dollars, has them spending millions of dollars in an entitlement turf war of massive proportions, between the unions and the nutcase hard left that California has no lack of. Then you introduce and add up all of the minority and special privilege, er, interest groups which have always been the hallmark of the left.

Few states have felt the crippling reach of the statists more than California. You know, if you strip away the state and federal government’s figures and substitute them for actual statistics, the unemployment rate in this state is over 16%. And, as I’ve mentioned before, there are pockets of unemployment in this state approaching 40%.  read more »
