http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/Chicago-Proposal-Would-Allow-Private-Sponsorship-of-Police-201418771.html This sounds like the wild, wild west. Having the police ‘sponsored’ by business or individuals sounds like “Guns for Hire”. Who will the “police” serve? The People? The Town/County/State? OR, their benefactors? Let’s just take a ‘for instance’. If a drug lord were to “sponsor” a police department with a LARGE sum of money, will that department necessarily ‘ignore’ the large shipments of Heroine | Read More »

Panetta opens combat roles to women http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/23/panetta-opens-combat-roles-to-women/ In my opinion this is the most backward action to take. All activity on the front lines can lead to death or disfigurement. A civil society cannot exist if we are willing to sacrifice our women to the battle field where capture, torture, and death is likely. From my point of view, when a man dies, a man | Read More »

Once again, Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell and the Obama Republicans in the House and Senate, have driven us over another hurdle to Total Systemic Failure. Well, we lost that battle, and we must once again draw a line in the sand. I propose that we start pushing our congress’People’ to start reforming the voting process. Voter ID Now (VIN). We have admission by the courts | Read More »

I live on Long Island, N.Y. Yesterday we were hit with a nor’easter which brought wind, rain, snow and cold. As I was returning to my home, I saw and thanked profusely a lineman repairing the power lines to my block. He was from a middle western state. He was up in the bucket, in the wind, rain/snow, and cold, repairing the power lines so | Read More »

How is it possible that on the exact same day we can see these headlines on The Druge Report?

in the last couple of days, Mr. Romney has made as much effort as possible to tell the Citizens NOT to vote for him. Conservatives are not going to be able to save this poor soul from himself, and the country from Obama, if he keeps telling us that an “top down” Marxist regime, tyrannical, Government sponsored Health Care system is part of his plan. | Read More »

M. Romney and his side kick, P. Ryan have to stop with the medicare campaigning. The people who use medicare are NOT economy drivers. WE ARE IN A DISPARATE ECONOMIC SITUATION and our “Conservative” candidates are talking about Health Care! What about Jobs, Oppressive Government Regulation, the Value of the Dollar, our Military and Borders, people taking their money and denouncing their citizenship from the | Read More »

Time Bomb? Banks Pressured to Buy Government Debt (http://www.cnbc.com/id/47633576) The impetus behind the government’s proposal to create a ‘Guaranteed Retirement Account’ for all Americans is the need/desire to get their greedy little hands on the $18 Trillion That Americans have in Stocks, IRA’s, 401K’s, Pensions, and savings. That money, The Government believes, is really theirs. They just don’t know how to get at it. Well, | Read More »

This is a simple, and most obvious conclusion. The questioning yesterday was not defining that a mandate for healthcare would be unconstitutional. NOPE, The questioning was to identify that a mandate on other issues, Cars, Cell Phones, Food IS unconstitutional. Add this to the expected outcome of today’s presentations of Severability, which most likely will stand as All or Nothing, and you will find the | Read More »

In a recent oration, V. Jarrett proposed that “People Who Receive that Unemployment Check Go Out and Spend It and Help Stimulate the Economy” http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/valerie-jarrett-people-who-receive-unemployment-check-go-out-and-spend-it-and-help-stimulate-economy_631716.html This is a totally absurd thought. Take this to a logical example. If a 3rd party, say a government, extorts a dollar from me, since I am a worker who own my own business. Let’s say I make pizza, and | Read More »

From CNS News: “Boehner Won’t Rule Out ‘Balanced Budget Amendment’ That Permits Unlimited Federal Spending” Is there any way, other than elections, to remove the “Speaker of the House”. Not necessarily from office. Just that position. Mr. Boehner is showing the country that he is not conservative and has no real desire to fix any problems. He is demonstrating that he is a ‘Good old | Read More »

So Florida has a primary in January. Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina then soon follow. ALL vying for the right to declare that they are THE state that has chosen the next President.

Based on the atricle below, Mr. Obama is not aware of the fact that he is NOT allowed to just saunter into the House chambers without an appointment. It is rather uncouth of him to assume that he can just order Congress around as he does below. And that he only has 1/3 of the power. Not a larger 1/3, but exactly 1/3 of the | Read More »

In an interview with CBS News (RE: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/01/eveningnews/main20086598.shtml ) The question was put to J.

No, not the song from West Side Story. Today we wake up to learn that the concrete workers union, which is working on the “Freedom Towers” in New York, are on strike. Apparently they believe that they should get a raise during these wonderfully fruitful fiscal times. Ok, so we have come to expect that. The Unions, all of them, operate on the same rules | Read More »

this is rather interesting. When We The People took over a couple of Private auto manufacturers, the bond holders in that deal did not get priority treatment. They were left holding the bag. The President’s friends and funders got priority. I wonder if ‘Bondholder’ is a secret word for ‘friend’ or ‘financier’?

According to the absolutely ignorant H. Reid, “the Democrats need Goodwin Liu on the federal bench because “the court of appeals is where law is made, and we need the finest minds in the world for that.”” Funny, I thought it was their job to interpret/enforce the law. I guess Congress has given up this Constitutional requirement, and handed it over to the courts. Perhaps | Read More »

Unemployment to 9% Jobs Created (?) 244000 Baby Boomers retiring at the rate of 10000 per day, 300000 per month. Isn’t that just a little bothersome? We are not hiring at a rate to replace boomers entering retirement.

During his 2008 campaign, B.H. Obama declared that no one should be too rich or too poor. He also pointed out that he believed in transferring the wealth. Spread it around. Paraphrasing, “Take from the rich and give to the poor”. But I find this rhetoric just a little odd when we see his plans in action. As president, Mr. Obama has declared war on | Read More »

Hooray! We are Saved! Japan is Saved! Can we expect to hear the infamous words: “I will not sleep until this problem <insert problem here> is solved!” OR “I will not rest until this <insert problem here> is put to rest!” I just cannot wait to hear his undying, “LASAR BEAM” fucus is put to Japan’s problem.

It would be a tragedy to release oil from the American reserves at this time. With many other options available, such as drilling in the Gulf or Alaskan ANWR, it would be an error now to release the emergency oil. This reserve is for real emergencies.

I guess I must have missed something here. but I am not sure that I can believe that there is anything good in the latest Job numbers coming from the U.S. Government.

Simple question. If Assange is able, by the U.S. law, to take digital content which was stolen, and use it for personal use without retribution, does that same law also protect those people who download music (stolen by someone else) the same freedom?

It is amazing that so many, would-be terrorists exist in the world. Not the type that strap on bombs, walk into a cafe and murder innocent people.
