When an Apology isn't an Apology

llhan Omar, the Anti-Jew Representative from the state of Minnesota has issued an “apology” for yet another of her hateful anti-Semitic rants.

We don’t need a full description, we’ve heard them all. Ms. Omar just can’t help herself. She’s a Muslim with Tourette’s syndrome but instead of swearing, she spouts hateful shit about Jews and the Jewish state.

But that can’t be helped because she’s from a part of Minnesota that hates Jews, her parents hate Jews, her church hates Jews and most of the people she grew up with hate Jews.

I mean, she had to learn this somewhere.

And that somewhere was right in her own back yard, home and church. Given this kind of upbringing, is it any surprise that llhan Omar hates Jews too? Of course not, she's descended from a long line of Jew haters!

And now she has a seat in the U.S. Congress. That means plenty of Jew-hating folks in the state of Minnesota must have voted for her to be there. She represents them now in American Government.

Her Jew-hating community must be so proud.

Now she can trumpet her hatred of the Jews and the Jewish State to the four corners of the country and urge other’s to join her in a coalition of hating the Jews.

A Weak Non-Apology

Her apology for her most recent Jew-hating remarks, if one would call it an apology, was just so very weak and without substance. If you really want to apologize, you don’t actually use the term “I apologize” since it has a hollow ring to it. That's the over-the-phone customer service apology you get when you discover that your phone company has been over-charging you for the last 6 years. They don't care that they over charged you one bit, but since you figured it out they'll say "We apologize for that error." and then they'll blame the computer. 

And so just like Representative Omar's apology for once again being caught openly hating the Jews, it's Bullshit. 

But if a person really means it, what a real person who cares would say in apology is: “I’m Sorry”.

Like “I’m sorry for the awful words I said and the inaccurate and hurtful allegations I made.”

But that’s only if you mean it and, of course, Ms. Omar certainly does not. So subsequently she didn't come close to saying anything like that. But that's just because she's a dyed-in-the-wool Jew hater and always will be. Just because some old chic who runs the House of Representatives tells her to make an apology, that doesn’t mean it’s right. Right?

And she obviously doesn’t think it’s right because instead of taking responsibility for what she said, she boarded a new train to ride on in an attempt to carry her past the revelations of her own evil words. Now the boogie-man is “Lobbying”, an indirect and less acerbic reference to AIPAC, the lobbying group associated with Israel here in the U.S.

Lobbying, Really?

As far as stopping lobbying, good luck there Ms. Omar since the history of lobbying is just as long as the history of government. It’s not just a part of government, Lobbying IS government. There are ongoing efforts to curtail it but it’s never going away.

But to be clear, the most recent statements of Representative Omar has nothing to do with Lobbying groups in American government. It’s about Jewish Lobbying groups in American government. That’s because the bottom line for Representative Omar and the people who back her in Minnesota and Washington DC is the hatred they have for the Jewish people.   

Representative Omar is in Congress to do a job. And that job is to work on legislation for the benefit of the state and cities of the people who sent her there. Knowing how the U.S. Government works and how to get legislation passed should be at the top of her list.

 But it seems that hating the Jews is really her top priority.

Al Franken is a Big Fat Pervert!

And a “Lying Liar who tells Lies” on top of it.

Can one think of anything more insincere than Mr. Franken’s apologies? His dead-pan delivery and feigned embarrassment is certainly as hollow a non mea culpa as any politician can utter.  To find something as equally evasive one would have to travel all the way back to 1996 where President Clinton "didn't have sex with that woman.". It all depends on what your definition of "Grope" is. 

To Senator Franken it's just like a handshake...but lower. 

The name calling, smart talking Senator from Minnesota, always the smartest man in the room, has been caught with his “hands in the cookie jar” once too often and has now “taken responsibility “ for his actions…meaning he’s not going to do anything but keep a low profile and hope it all eventually blows over. I mean, he's not an "Idiot" like that fat Rush Limbaugh, right?

Surely, the “Giant of the Senate” author feels, something else will come along to knock this issue off of the front pages of media outlets. All he has to do is wait a couple of weeks.

But although he wrote a book about “The Truth” Senator Franken has had a hard time recognizing it now that it has become he who must tell it. He “cannot recall” how many times he’s goosed the electorate of Minnesota. Perhaps he’s done this so often he can’t remember whose behind on which day he has grabbed. I’m sure they all blend together over time. 

Senator Franken remembers it all "differently" as if he can't remember what he actually grabbed. She says he grabbed her behind. He remembers grabbing...something else maybe? Or perhaps he recalls being INVITED to grab her behind. Most Minnesota women. he recalls, welcomed him...Al Franken, to grab their behinds! After all, he is a Genius!

Oh, the things he knows! If he could only now remember them.

But don’t expect him to resign. It’s not going to happen. Senator Franken is going to make the people of Minnesota vote him out of office. Sorta like a dare. This is why he...Al Franken, is smarter than everybody. He’s a screen writer, best-selling book author, an actor, a Senator…and a perverted groper of women.

Hell, he could stay in office as long as John Conyers!

Due Process is now called for

Now the Democrats are calling for letting due process take its course.  “Let the Ethics Committee do its work and give us their findings.” is now the call. I’m sure they’ll be jumping right on that.

There was no due process for Roy Moore. He was just supposed to drop out of the race for the Alabama senate and wait to be cleared afterwards even though his alleged misdeeds were reportedly from 40 years ago. At any rate, the newest allegation is from 26 years ago.

Not Al Franken’s allegations. They’re fresh. He’s fresh. It’s all just so…fresh. 

You know, Al Franken reminds me of that nerdy kid you knew in high school, short with glasses, who never could get girls to give him the time of day despite helping them with their homework all the time. He HATED the captain of the football team because he was a dumb jock who got all the chicks and he, the boy genius, couldn't get one to remember his name. "Well!" I can hear a young Al Franken vowing, "One day I'll make them envy me!"

But nobody ever did, especially now. 

But ultimately Senator Franken isn’t going anywhere in a hurry and perhaps that will be a good thing in the long run for Roy Moore should he prove victorious in Alabama. How are the Republicans not going to seat him and stare at him...Al Franken, sitting there in the Senate? The Republicans need the votes as badly as the Democrats do.

The difference is that Roy Moore denies the allegations and Senator Franken won't admit he can't.

Trump Moves to Derail Assad Victory

United States under President Donald Trump has now intervened in the Syrian conflict based on an elaborate and fiercely promoted fabrication and has stated that there is now a coalition forming to again attempt to dislodge President/Dictator Bashar al Assad from his leadership at a time where it seems final victory in Syria's long civil war was within his grasp.

How convenient.

It’s all so hard to disprove a reported incident like this when it happens on the other side of the world in a land where life is cheap, prospects grim, the resources rich, the politics cutthroat and the wars...endless.

The “He’s just a crazy dictator” excuse doesn't fly concerning why Mr. Assad, with his enemies on the run and just a year or so away from certain and inevitable victory, would suddenly decide to use Sarin gas on a superficial target. What purpose would such a move serve him?  

Well of course such a thing wouldn’t serve Assad at all BUT it certainly would serve the Western nations so that they can jump back into the conflict to prevent Assad’s march to re-acquire control of the country. 

What a setup!

Think about it. Assad finally triumphs in his civil war and is in control of the country. Russia once again has a firm grip on their Mediterranean port and the threat of being pushed out of the region will cease and any new efforts or circumstances to pry Russia off the Mediterranean and Syria's government from its oil resources will take decades to manifest.

Well, that can't be allowed to happen!

What is it about U.S. Presidents that when they get their hands on control of our military that they just can't keep their finger off the button? Like Obama's love of drones or Rahm Emanuel asking "Who did we get today?" when he would walk into the office. It becomes a game to these people.

I'm supremely disappointed that President Trump has used the U.S. Military for such a spurious "reason". I'm appalled actually at this grave misstep and now all the war mongers are praising him as one of their own. 

And he now indeed belongs to them. 

Russia is now been put on alert alright but they aren't going to cut and run from the country. And the last time I checked...We're Still Broke! We've got no tax cuts, no ObamaCare repeal and so what do we do now? Why drop bombs on Syria of course! 

What could possibly go wrong? 

How about being seen as helping out radical jihadists who vow to establish a Islamist Caliphate based on Sharia law in Syria? Sleep tight Mr. Netanyahu! 

We just dropped, literally, $94,400,000.00 on our "warning" shot! That money could've gone to far better use and unfortunately it's not like it's going to be the last time Mr. Trump is going to piss away taxpayer money "for the little babies!" that the U.S. citizenry hasn't earned yet as he flexes his new found might. What a loss this is. 

And all I really wanted was a tax cut and better health care. 

An agent or nation that would greatly benefit from U.S. intervention pulled this stunt and to find the people who benefit is to find the people who did it. Or a more likely scenario is that they ALL were in on it to some extent since there are so many with motive to snatch the victory from Assad's hands either for spite, for gold or for mere conquest.

It's just all too neat and tidy for me not to smell a rat in all this. But Trump has made his move so willingly or unwillingly we are all going along for the ride and regardless of his true motivation or whether the United States can afford entering yet another costly conflict we have no business being in, here we are again.

How great is that?

The Obama of Everything!

An excerpt of today's fact sheet released from the White House:

“Laws in 19 states—some specifically written by special interests trying to stifle new competitors—have held back broadband access and, with it, economic opportunity. Today, President Obama is announcing a new effort to support local choice in broadband, formally opposing measures that limit the range of options available to communities to spur expanded local broadband infrastructure, including ownership of networks."

Taking over your school lunch programs. Expanding your government run school system. Taking over your healthcare providers. Expanding your welfare programs. Taking over immigration. Running the country through cabinet ministries. Circumventing a spineless Congress. Spending money your kids haven't even earned yet...

And now taking over what Al Gore began, The Internet!

That’s right, the man who keeps on taking and taking and giving and giving is going to provide equality among the masses: Everybody’s Goose is Cooked!

The President was later heard to say: "Hey, you can't beat us, we have ALL THE MONEY!" as he left for his 1, 279th round of golf since he's been in the Whitehouse.

You will never speak or send another message that doesn’t pass through the government’s able hands. You will never email another picture of your kids birthday that some elite government hack doesn't have access to. You will never view naked pictures of pregnant women that someone in government doesn't know about. As the Whitey-hating rage filled Reverend Wright once said: This is your chickens come home to roost.

There is always someone left out. Always someone discriminated against and Mr. Obama can use that person to drive a wedge between the public at large and the U.S. Constitution. Good show Mr. President!

Somewhere there is a person without a government handout and the president is going to FIND that person and give him (or her) a check, a phone, a free lunch AND the Internet. After all, someone must have oppressed that person in the first place that they don’t have all that already.

What won’t he do next that rascally totalitarian presidential emperor!

By decree, his phone and his pen Barak Hussein Obama will right the wrongs meted out by society and the world. His word will carry and all will be well again.

Your Internet is HIS Internet to do with as he pleases. And he pleases that the government should be the guardian of Free Speech!

What can possibly go wrong!

No private enterprise is safe.  They are all bad for people, bad for equality and bad for the nation. Producing things for people to actually purchase, how absurd. Don’t they know like the President knows? Forgive them Father, they don’t know what they have done.

And what is next?

Your 401k perhaps. After all, the government is already going to take care of your retirement with Social Security, you won’t actually be NEEDING that extra cash where there are so many more deserving than you.

Your home. You don’t own it anyway, the bank does and the GOVERNMENT owns the banks. Even if you pay it off, the GOVERNMENT owns the land and you’ll never be able to afford the taxes if you even TRY to pass it along to your heirs.  Give it up now and we’ll go easy on you.

You fly? That’s the government’s airline you’re flying on. Take a train? Ditto!

The statues are being carved and the two story posters are being printed and will soon be in position.

Never say Never.

Obama for everyone!

Our Ever Changing HealthCare Law

Just what healthcare law did the Supreme Court uphold anyway?

Was it the Affordable Care act of 2010 or the 14 different versions of that law that has been passed to the American public by word of mouth from the White House?

Was it ever even a law? I've heard it was and people are acting like it was a law but there doesn't really seem to be a law.

As the late, great Harry Nilsson wrote in his epic story The Point: "A point in every direction is like no point at all!"

When you try to cover everything, you end up covering nothing.

We have no President and we have no Healthcare Law.

Not if you don't want it to be at any rate.

Unlike what you may be reading in the government newpapers and hearing on the government news channels, the Affordable Care Act is not what President Obama says it is whenever he gets around to telling us what it’s going to be about THIS WEEK. Has anybody check the latest presidental TWEET?

In the 237-odd years that the country has been the United States, laws have tended to be more static in the past once they are signed into law. Now they are anything someone might tell you they are.

What makes anyone believe that any of this is going to be enforceable?

Challenge away o’ folks who still have enough money to actually be able to afford justice in this country, you will have this law tied up for a decade. All you have to do is ask for a dated copy of the new provisions passed by Congress. What? It WASN’T passed by Congress? Well then, were the new provisions signed by the President? They WEREN’T? Trying to find somebody who can interprete THE AIR will be a daunting task don't you think? Or maybe they just find some crazy homeless person who'll wave his hands around and tell the court what it's all about. And who's to say they would be wrong?  

And how the hell is the IRS going to enforce these tax penalties? Challenge away you scofflaws. The wheels of justice have been moving slower than ever before and will most likely grind to a halt over numerous and consistent court cases asking for proof of the new measures.

There is no law, not this law not ANY law anymore.

Maybe it won't be long now before the police will be shaking pedestrians down for cash and he courts will fine you for just about anything you can think of. The country is descending into one big  money-grab.  

It's been the American Way for way too long. You can live like a cricket and spend everything you earn and at the end of the day the government will take care of you. You can toil like the ant, scrimp and say and all you do is end up paying for the crickets healthcare plan. So why bother?

Forget Congress, they aren’t enforcing their own laws and have passed laws exempting them from being subject to laws in the first place which makes me wonder if they are actually subject to the laws they’ve passed making them not subject to the laws they have passed. Right?

So do as you please these days. Get health insurance, don’t get health insurance. Pay the fine, don't pay the fine or don't even pay your medical bills. They can't do anything to you by law anyway. They can't charge you interest and they can't put it on your credit report. All they can do is have someone call you on the phone so what the hell does it matter anymore?

Doctors should go back to the way things were before Medicaid and the meddling of the government in the business of providing healthcare. They should go back to coming to your home to give your kids a shot in the ass. Growing up in the Boston Projects, we had a doctor who visited our place to do just that since when one kid in the project got the measles, all the kids got the measles. The doc would come buy, give you a shot (Penicillin, remember those days before they shot all that shit into the livestock and screwed everything up?).

Anyway, the doctor gave us a shot in the patoot and my mom paid him and he left. No office manager, no insurance claim, no discount, no offset, no government overhead and no bullshit.

And it all worked just great. I got a shot in the butt, the measles went away, the doctor got paid and my mom got some sleep.

So what went wrong?

Government of course, solving problems that weren’t problems in the first place and buying their way into the industry with promises to the doctors that they wouldn’t lose a dime if they went along with their plans. And in the beginning they didn’t.

But look at them now.

Doctors have to consolidate their services in order to survive. There aren't many single doctors offices anymore. Now doctors have to be affiliated with a larger medical group to absorb all the liabilities that come with the field and that the ACA never even addresses.

Doctors should drop all insurance carriers period, especially the government ones that drive up the costs of patient care and just administrate their own billing. They’ve got their own billing and  collections departments now already anyway; they wouldn’t even have to gear up. All they have to do is drop the government plans and quit taking their filthy money. And need I remind anybody that it’s OUR filthy money which has gone to everything BUT us and which is used to batter any dissatisfied citizen challenger into the ground.  The government has taken all the resources before you can even think to fight them.

So then let the government take everybody to court and try to drive "rouge" medical centers out of business. Like they aren’t going to be forced out of business ANYWAY by ever increasing government intervention and the prospect of receiving ever decreasing payments for the services they provide. Their dead ducks either way so they might as well fight for their rights and their livelihood.

Let the government try to enforce their ever-changing illegitimate bullshit iron-gloved Healthcare boondoggle of a law that nobody on God’s Green Earth really knows what it does anymore.

So ultimately we should pay our doctors directly and CUT OUT THE MIDDLEMAN, namely THE GOVERNMENT and let them try to stop us.

China Gets Burned by Communist U.S. President

And they have nobody but themselves to blame.

The way I see it, if China didn’t buy all that debt, then Washington wouldn’t have been able to spend it. And if they didn’t sink all that dough into President Barak Obama’s election in 2008 and 2012 then we all wouldn’t be stuck with a guy who is only interested in forcing his Communist Ideology on the United States citizenry and champion the destruction of all that made this nation great. And yet the President has managed to have kept all the parts of the U.S. government machinations that people all over the world decidedly do not hold the U.S. in high esteem for, mainly: War Mongering, Spying, Economic Imperialism and screwing with the politics of foreign nations. Go figure.

So I won’t be crying any tears if and when the U.S. tanks and China is left holding $ 4 Trillion in promissory notes from the U.S. Treasury. That’s the way the cookie crumbles and that’s American Politics.  I just thought the Federal Reserve was just going to devalue the dollar to the point where paying the debt would be as simple as running the printing press but I guess China isn’t going to get even that.  

China's money men are now at risk of having an "accident" since they went all in on the U.S. debt. But countries can and do go out of business. Look at North Korea, they're out of business. The USSR had a big "Going Out of Business" sale sign on their wall in Berlin back in the 1990s so don't say it can't happen and after their debacle with Greece, I wouldn't suspect Germany to offer receivership any time soon. As a shady investment broker once confided to me: “Do you want to know how to make a small fortune in the Stock Market?  Start with a large fortune!” after which he proceeded to put my 401K rollover funds into a high Commission Yield Fund, for him! I learned a lot from that guy. And so will China.  

But seriously, a default is inevitable since the next 2 1/2 years is going to be like this. Just like everybody with a little common sense knew in 2004 that the housing market was going to tank well before it finally did in 2007 and nobody with the ablity to do anything about it did anything about it. So who expects something good to suddenly happen? The Pope maybe but nobody else. Rather we default now instead of defaulting 4 years from now when Hugo Chavez Obama completes his mission.

And the Chinese State should know better than anybody in the world today that Communism doesn’t pay the bills. That’s why they got out of the "Share the Wealth" business and changed over to a market economy some time ago now. It’s still an Imperial Totalitarian State but they’ve obviously got money to burn. And burn, I hope, it will.

It is my profound hope that Speaker Bohner holds the line with my fellow freedom loving Tea Party citizens of the United States House of Representatives and succeeds in defunding the disastrous and devious Nationalization of Healthcare and derails this anti-capitalist demagogue in the White House.

And if it crashes the economy and we default on the nation’s debts, it will be a small price to pay for freedom and the United States will be better off for it in the long run. And a default will be the only way to get the government to stop spending money the nation has yet to earn. China, although not alone in its complicity, has played a very big role in that spending spree.

If a default does come about then the Chinese will have plenty to think about while they’re kicking the Tibetans to death in the streets of their home town, forcing women to have abortions, breathing their fetid air and building their war machines to carry escalate their war-like stature and intimidate thei neighbors.

Good luck with that. We’re all going to need it.

Taxpayer Funded Terrorism

There is little doubt any longer that it is the American taxpayer funding the demise of the American way of life? The government lets these “impoverished” groups from other countries into our nation, subsidizes their housing, gives them a stipend, a debit card, food stamps and sends them to school on the taxpayer dime so they have all the time in the world to plot and build their infernal bombs or to just plain attack people at an area Mall or even in the streets. They see this as a weakness.

When the American people say it isn’t right and try to form a political group to confront these issues in the political area, they are targeted by taxpayer funded government organizations and singled out for scrutiny and orchestrated harassment and denial of services.

When we try to protest the IRS involvement in targeting law abiding Americans from all walks of life who are dismayed by the use of the money that is taken from them everywhere they turn by government and who feel subjugated by the loss of their personal resources to fund political influence here and abroad, Homeland Security turns out armed to the teeth to keep them at bay.

This is the United States today.

Thanks to GW Bush’s Patriot Act which the Republicans pushed for and the Democrats cheered, the government now has a force of indoctrinated, loyal and partisan Apparatchiks  only hinted at during president Obama’s first campaign when he promised a military force separate from the police.

The DHS has all the information the IRS has an more. They answer to nobody but the president and they are a military unit. The IRS may audit you but the DHS can do more than that with seeming impunity.  We have already seen that government has no regard for the law these days so if our government can track their political opponents moves via their cell phones, leak their personal and financial information to their opponents and the press and limit their access to lawful services, just what else are they capable of?

It’s such a brilliant plan that if history’s dictators and oppressors were gathered together in a room to observe how this all came about, they all would have slapped their forehead sin surprise they didn’t think of it themselves. Let the taxpayer fund his own subjugation! The government can buy up all the ammunition they can get their hands on thus creating a shortage for the private citizen and municipal officer equally. This is because both are the enemy to the U.S. government. Only those people filtered and trained by the federal government will be allowed access to these resources. And since the government can write a check for any amount guaranteed by the printing press and the taxpayer, they have unlimited resources to get what they want at any price.

Letting the terrorists walk among us supported by the taxpayer dime is the key to keeping people in fear. A fearful people, without the resources to defend themselves will again turn to government for protection even though they don’t really give a whit about the people. The only thing the taxpayer is good for is funding the whole operation to a certain extent. The rest they can just print.

So while most of us are drinking beer, watching the Big Game, Reality TV, Porn or abusing prescription drugs, others are taking the advantage by spending our way to our eventual servitude and poverty.  Not enough yet have their head in the game of survival that our streets are fast becoming. The government is going to protect themselves and the rest of us are on our own.  

And what are you going to do about it?

Obama Hikes Taxes, Promises Less of Everything

Saying that the U.S. economy is an “unfinished task” one has to wonder what President Obama really means. Did he mean that the economy is struggling and he would like to get it moving again or did he really mean the economy is struggling and that he’d like to “finish the job” of killing it entirely. By his actions over his presidency so far, one has to wonder.

It is an audacity to say that his administration has reduced the deficit or cut spending when nothing of the sort has even been considered never mind not carried out. Even the dreaded "Sequestor" is not a cut in spending but a reduction of increases in spending. So much for responsible government. If the Sequestor was so damaging, Obama wouldn't have signed it into law, a fact that seems to have been overlooked in the days leading up to it's implementation.

President Obama is the “spendiest” president there ever was, dwarfing the second spendiest president, G.W. Bush by Trillions of dollars. How he can stand up there and say otherwise is really a sham.

It is a pre-emptive strike on the call for cuts in the runaway government spending when Obama emphatically announces that the country can’t “cut its way to prosperity”  since that is exactly what it will take to get the economy going: Cut Spending and put more money in the pockets of the taxpayers. It’s economics 101.

The less money in people’s pockets, the less there is to spend. The less there is to spend, the less there will be to buy and more people will find themselves out of work. Less money, less products, less workers.

But the only jobs president Obama cares about keeping is those of teachers, firefighters, cops and other government workers. The private sector gets no mention.

There have been quite a few mergers lately as well as more layoff announcements. This is because of the steady implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act which is raising costs, adding bureaucracies and layers of paperwork. These consolidations are meant to rid companies of the only cost variable they are unable to get control of: People. Thanks to all the overhead attached to them, the less people the better.

ObamaCare is essentially a "People Tax" which all new hires will carry with them over and above their salaries. It makes people a very expensive commodity to hire and so it is now better and cheaper in the long run to spend the money on machines that replace people.

So when facing a harsh reality of the consequences of Mr. Obama’s health plan what does he propose?

Why raising the Minimum Wage, of course!

Since his other policies haven’t put enough people out of work, why not keep more people from getting jobs? It’s the logical conclusion of the economically ignorant. Or is Mr. Obama ignorant of these economic realities? One has to wonder.

There are plenty of jobs not worth $9.00 an hour. Grocery stores, gas stations, delivery drivers and more. If the business you’re working for or want to work for can’t afford to pay it, those jobs are gone.  The fixed minimum wage is just another People Tax.

Of course in announcing this proposal, the president cites “Corporate Profits” never being higher like big corporations will be the ones paying the price. Nothing was said about the small businesses that will be reeling from the effects and who are also responsible for employing more people than big corporations do.

Keep in mind that Mr. Obama has never run even a hotdog stand. Either he knows what this will do to people looking for work or he doesn’t know what it will do, either way it’s going to lead to less jobs. I mean, a person can’t be this ignorant of what makes the world go ‘round, can they?

And speaking of around the world, this overhead will also make American business less compeditive in the global marketplace. Higher costs, less compeditive.

Obama’s ceaseless push for more education funds and more education possibilities is a step in the wrong direction. There is no money to fund these initiatives and without industry, where are all these educated people going to work? We’ll be like China back in the 1970s with engineers plowing rice fields. As it stands right now, there is no place to go for our current crops of college grads who are coming out of school with huge debt and no jobs to pay it down. For them there is less of a future. Less jobs, less opportunity.

The president is currently out on the campaign trail saying and promising anything to anybody who’ll listen. His latest proposal is Universal Pre-School beginning at 4 years old. I’m not making this up! This is an illusion, shear lunacy to the point of embarrassment.

With the Federal Reserve continuing to buy government debt, with the government continuing to buy GM automobiles to boost their sales and with the government expanding at every turn, there is going to be less of everything else.

The Gross National Product of the United States has shrunk yet government continues to spend. Less production and less jobs means less taxes coming into the government yet the federal budget continues to expand.  Heaven help your savings and 401k if they decide to print money to cover the budget deficits. No amount of money will be safe from the ensuing inflation. Just check out Argentina and Venezuela with their 20% inflation rate and shortages of even the most staple of products. Don’t say it can’t happen here. Without the profit motive, people will stop producing. Less buying power, less business, less purchases.  

So the State of the Union proposals: More spending, more laws, more subsidies, more government and more executive power means only one thing: Less.   

More for government means less for you. 

Let’s Have a War!

I know, we've had plenty already and we’re still waging two wars for this last decade plus just finished up an intervention in Libya but that’s no reason we can’t expand our sphere of influence so to speak by using our UN front for further intervention into the case of Syria or trigger a civil uprising in Iran. Our interest in the Middle East apparently knows no bounds.

And isn’t it our place, really, to save these people? We hear the masses calling out to the United States to aid them in overthrowing an uncooperative regime. They desire for us to bomb the old regime into oblivion and then help guide a new fledgling democracy, nurture their resurgent oil industry and be their Christian ally in their new Islamic Republic. We’re the United States, we’re here to help.

So what’s a little extra bloodshed for the good of the people? We’ll be saving the children! We’ll also be consolidating our influence in the region. We’re looking for the next Shah Pahlavi and we're going to find one, Goddamit! We’re laying the groundwork as I write.

The rhetoric is already flying on the American airwaves: Iran will attack US ships in the Gulf, Iran threatens to attack targets in the U.S., Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, Iran to develop nuclear weapon, etc.  

This is the Iraq war buildup all over again. It’s tiresome in its lack of originality. But war is inevitable because the US will make it so.

Russia has put itself into an unenviable position with its attempts to defend the murderous Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad. One can only speculate that this is an attempt to keep more US led multi-national forces out of the region and to try and fend off a US “inspired” new Syrian government. Now that’s a choice between the rock and the hard place. Good luck with that Vladimir. 

But it’s “Here we go again.” in the old Empire. Money and the promise of power will find willing volunteers and there will be blood. Unhindered by the Constitution or the U.S. Congress and powered by the American taxpayer and government printing presses, the U.S. can, with impunity, overturn injustice overseas, vanquish evil, bring the “criminals” to justice and exact the punishment on (selected) world oppressors. If you can’t tell the good guys from the bad, no worries, we’ll sort that all out for you in the press. Everything is going to be ok.

What could possibly go wrong this time?  

Gangster Government...

Michele Bachmann has been questioned about her remarks in reference to the current administration as a "Gangster Government" and she's right. It is a gangster government but it's not just this administration, the government in general and the federal government in particular have been pushing  the US citizenry around for quite some time with it's ill conceived Central Social Engineering. And it goes beyond the so called Democrat/Republican divide since I believe that they are just two sides of the same coin. I always seem to have a hand in my pocket. Is it a Republican hand or a Democrat hand. Who cares, there's still a hand in my pocket!

What we have gotten is a government that has no qualms about sending in troops to places where Congress has not declared war (War Powers Act), spending taxpayer money on countries that hate us, social programs most of them don't use and projects we don't need or want and then tells you how to spend your life and what you should be buying.

How else can you explain how the Federal Government, the entity that is really only there to provide protection for our borders, national planning for infrastructure and a level playing field for business has become the ultimate micro-manager that they now tell you what kind of toilet you can buy, what kind of light bulb you must use and that you have to buy into the national retirement plan or health plan whether you want to or not?

Needless to say, this is not freedom of choice or free will. You have no choice.

And, in true government fashion, none of this stuff works! The toilets need an extra flush! The light bulbs have mercury in them (where are the environmentalists on this?), are dim and don't last. The retirement and health plans are just Ponzi schemes and cannot stand for long.

But it doesn't matter. It's not the point is it, that this stuff works. Even if it did, YOU don't have the right to choose what's best for you and you're family while sucking funds from your personal economies to pay for other peoples services. Only the STATE knows. They now dictate the terms.

Just like a bully.
