This'n'That; February Twenty-Eighth #1; Eric, The 5

Eric's Right!
“If you want to win in 2016, you better start looking at Chris Christie and embracing what he’s all about,” Bolling concluded after noting that his friends on the “far-right” will be displeased with his endorsement.
On that note, Eric Bolling is certainly right!  Although I couldn't be considered one of Mr Bolling's "friends" by any stretch, I certainly am pissed about his comment on the February 26th edition of "The Five." 
I pride myself on being more conservative that any--or at least most--of the nationally known conservative-radio hosts.  Mighten I be too conservative; too much clinging to my guns, to my pickup, to my Bible and to my personal copy of the United States Constitution?!?  I have great difficulty in getting my mind around either the Bolling statement or the actual Governor Christie action of embracing ANYTHING proposed or enacted by TFI, CPo (That Fuckin' Idiot, "Clown Prince" obama).  The Governor is suggesting that other governors take adavantage of--as he has--the federal bribe money supplied by CPo for participation in obamaKare!!

This'n'That; February Twenty-Seventh #3; Deranged?

Is 'TFI, CPo' REALLY Deranged?!?
    "Clown Prince" obama (CPo) has finally gone beyond ineptitude, beyond incompetence to a state of mental derangement, a trip into functional madness!!  I intend to contact my invisible senator, Kirsten Gillibrand to see if the Palace psychiatrist has been involved in CPo's mental-health care.  Never-the-less, TFI, CPo (That Fuckin' Idiotic, "Clown Prince" obama) has been isolated in his madness, to wit:
a couple'a days ago TFI, CPo trotted 'Big Sis,' Janet Napolitano out to announce the ludicrus plan to release imprisoned illegals, pretending that's it's more than a publicity stunt ahead of the miniscule sequestration budget cuts.  TFI, CPo wrongly believes that the 'Big Sis' announcement isolates him from this treasonous, impeachable act; sadly though, the "Clown Prince" hasn't thought this through.
Firstly, Hillary "Rob'em" Clinton is no longer available--as a member of the regime--to 'take responsibility' for his stupidity. TFI, CPo might consider asking her replacement, John Forbes-Heinz-Kerry to step in and announce his 'Hillaryesque' intentions!!
Secondly, by definition said "Clown Prince" is responsible for any and all actions, statements, declarations, stupid thoughts ANYONE  in his administration undertakes!!  Hence, he and other cohorts are subject to impeachment proceedings although the various obamunists will keep him from legal action.
    The general populus--including the low-information voters--should be outraged!  About a month ago, TFI, CPo issued twenty-three (?) Executive Orders, some of which instructed ICE and Border Patrol agents to detain and incarcerate only those illegals convicted of serious--felony--crimes.  Hence, 'Big Sis' will--and can only--release the murderers, the rapists, the human traffickers, the traffickers of monumental amounts of drugs, possibly others in various stages of ill repute!!

Texas Offers Another Reason....
    Remember when Texas Attorney-General Greg Abbott advertised for New Yorkers to
"move to Texas.... and bring your guns."
Well--if all goes well--there'll soon be an added bonus for moving to Texas: Tax-free gun, archery, accessories and equipment purchases on Texas Independence Day (March 2 [1836]).  The bill's sponsor, state representative Jeff Leach had this to say:
“Texas must take the lead in the fight against the federal government’s attempts to infringe on our Second Amendment Rights,” Leach said in a statement. ”As we fight against the federal government’s overreach, there is no more appropriate day to instate this tax-free holiday than on Texas Independence Day.”

This'n'That; February Twenty-Seventh #1; Choices

It Jis Don't Get No Stupider'n This!!
    Since a John Forbes-Heinz-Kerry protest incident in 1971 where he didn't have the balls to throw his own medals over the White House fence (he's admitted he threw his own ribbons but someone else's medals) I've not had much use for him.  Although I thought it fairly wise for him to have "married the Heinz Ketchup fortune!"
    Now, he's illustrating the mistakes "Clown Prince" obama (CPo) continually makes in his choices for who will shoulder the blame for him (CPo).  Let's compare a couple of true statesmen with 'Forbes-Heinz-Kerry:'
*President John F. Kennedy--on June  1963, in the City of **Berlin--said:
"Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was civis Romanus sum ["I am a Roman citizen"]. Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner!"... All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner! [I am a Berliner]"
***President Ronald Reagan--in a June, 1987 speech at The Brandenberg Gate--said: 
"We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate.
Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Secretary John Forbes-Heinz-Kerry--early on in his Apology Tour-2013--had this to say to Berlin students:
“The reason is, that’s freedom, freedom of speech.
In America you have a right to be stupid – if you want to be…
And we tolerate it. We somehow make it through that.” 
Secretary Forbes-Heinz-Kerry made his 'stupid' comment in an effort to get away from how he insulted the German survivors, victims, and surviving families of the Adolf Hitler Nazi-era attrocities.  The Forbes-Heinz-Kerry comments only served to confirm the stupidity of the obamunist indoctrination and thought.

Those educated in the modern (obamunist) era:
* President Kennedy was the U.S. President that was shot in Dallas in November, 1963.  Kennedy was elected as a democrat but today would be considered a conservative republican rather than an obamunist.
**Berlin--at the time of the Kennedy speech--was a divided city, completely surrounded by East Germany (communist; today would be obamunist.).
*** President Reagan--often referred to as "Ronaldus-Magnus" due to his Julius Caesar-like stature and governance--was instrumental in the removal of the stone-and-concrete wall that separated West Berlin from East Berlin.  President Reagan has also--correctly--been credited with the modern era's  economic recovery, growth and advancement in the aftermath of the disasterous Jimmuh Cahtah presidency.  "Clown Prince" obama (CPo) has since surpassed the Cahtah-levels of economic and social devastation!

This'n'That; February Twenty-Sixth #1; Better!

Don't We Deserve Better Than This?!?
    The "Clown Prince" obama (CPo) designed sequestration plan is suddenly not a plan that will work, even given that CPo can pick-and-choose those line-items he wants to cut.  Of course CPo is choosing those items that will damage the American integrity and security while causing the greatest consternation among those who actually fund the government!  Added among these cuts CPo is threatening, he's dragging out the Stephanie Cutter concept of a 'balanced approach!'
    The republicRATics--those folks taking all the 'CPo heat'--have never put forth their version of a plan of what or where to cut the budget this miniscule amount everyone is whining about!! 
It's all obama; all the time!!
Let's look at this CPo-created finance problem another way:
let's say you take-home $100,000 annually, and
let's say your boss says he's gotta cut your pay by the sequestration rate of 1.36436% [$85 Bln divided by $6,230 Bln], and you'll find that you're giving up $1,364.36 in take-home pay, annually [344.5 gallons of gas or 623 pounds of ground beef-Rochester, N.Y.];
which is $113.70 per month [28.7 gallons of gas or 51.92 lbs of ground beef-Rochester, NY];
which is $26.24 per week [6.6 gallons of gas or, 12 pounds of ground beef-Rochester, NY];
which is 66 CENTS per hour which will buy 1/6th of a gallon of gas in Rochester, N.Y., which at 30 mpg, will carry you all of FIVE MILES!!
On average,  few 'Rochester workers' earn $100,000; more like $35,000, so let's look at the obama created sequestration cuts  from that perspective:
pay cut: $477.53 annually [120 gallons of gas; 218 pounds of ground beef];
which is $39.794 per month [10.05 gallons of gas; 18.171 pounds of ground beef];
which is $9.183 per week [2.32 gallons of gas; 4.193 pounds of ground beef];
which is $1.84 per day [less than 1/2 gallon of gas; just over 3/4 pound of ground beef];
which is $0.229 (23 CENTS) per hour [less than 1/2 PINT of gas; about 1.6 OUNCES of ground beef]!!
This means--by the hour, here in Rochester--the hourly loss equals about 1.88 miles of travel; equals less-than-a-quarter of a McDonalds' Dollar-Menu hamburger!!
Like I said: Don't we deserve better from ALL politicians than arguing over the value of a Dollar-Menu hamburger every half-day?!?
    Not only the actual cuts in expenditures, what about all the taxpayer money wasted with the "Clown Prince" obama flying all over the country (at $180,000.00 per hour, or 45,455 gallons of gas PER HOUR; 82,192 pounds of ground beef PER HOUR!!) to denegrate anyone and everyone who does not or will not agree with him and his ludicrus financial/economic policies.  Recently, TFI, CPo (That Fuckin' Idiot, Clown Prince obama) has instituted a cross-country, 100 city, "Connecting To Your Community" bus tour.  I've tried to find which cities, which routes, but can't so we don't know how much taxpayer revenue TFI, CPo is wasting on this propaganda tour!!  So, let's just say that this bullshit trip will cover 20,000 miles in one bus.  One bus is doubtful; TFI, CPo has to have his yes-men as well as his ARMED guards with him so I'm guessin' he's using all three of the federal busses purchased for one of his thousands of campaign trips.  But we'll just consider one diesel powered bus covering the aforementioned 20,000 miles:
The national average for diesel fuel is $4.169 per gallon.
Most heavy busses and trucks average 5-8 mpg.
This means ONE bus will consume between
2,500 gallons [@$10,422.50 which equals 2,632 gallons of gas (78,960 miles!); equals 4,759 pounds of ground beef]
and
4,000 gallons [@$16,676.00 which equals 4,200 gallons of gas (126,000 miles!); equals 7,615 pounds of ground beef].
    Remember if more than one bus is used, the expenses will rise accordingly.  We're also not considering the wages and accommodations of two drivers and one 'porter' on each bus.
All the flying and bus travel-time considered, soon TFI, CPo will have consumed the same "sequestration-level" funds with his worthless, useless theatrics!!
With the figures provided, you can make your own determinations as to better uses for the money; as to how many poor and/or homeless folks that could'da been fed with all that ground beef!!

    Honestly?  I was sure the men in the Daytona field would invoke the "rubbin' rule" right-off-the-bat, introducing Danica Patrick to the phrase "if ya ain't rubbin,' ya ain't racin'" before the first lap was complete.  To their credit they didn't intentionally try to put her in garage!  I didn't think Ms Patrick would fare very well in The Daytona 500, given what I'd watched over the course of the past season.  Then, she always seemed to end up in the middle of the pack at best.  I'm now hopeful that she'll have a good showing at each of the upcoming races she enters.
Congrats to Ms Patrick as well as Jimmy Johnson!!
BTW:  Did ya hear James Franco announcing the start of the race; "Drivers, and Danica....."

It was 100 years ago this month that the 16th Amendment to the Constitution officially became the law of the land. Since this is the one that authorized the Federal government to implement a graduated income tax in the United States, you’ll understand why I say that Feb. 3, 1913, was a very bad day for liberty.
One of the many complaints against King George in the Declaration of Independence was that “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”
But the amount of colonists’ “substance” that was taken by British authorities was the equivalent [....]

Obama Amnesty Bill=Rubio Amnesty Bill
by Mark Kirkorian,
nationalreview.com
February 18, 2013

Over the weekend, the White House leaked parts of a proposed amnesty bill to USA Today’s Alan Gomez. Obama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, described the proposed bill as a backup plan in case the Senate doesn’t act. Unlike the Schumer/Rubio amnesty plan, the administration bill contains no enforcement “triggers” that would have to be met before the amnestied illegals could move from green card lite to full green-card status. Rubio said the bill would be “dead on arrival” if it were to be introduced, while Paul Ryan said it would take things “in the wrong direction.”

The “backup plan” stuff is nonsense — the point of leaking the bill is to enable Rubio to say that his amnesty plan is waaay different from the dastardly Obama plan, even though they’re identical in the only respect that matters: amnesty immediately for all illegal aliens, with work cards, Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, the right to travel abroad and return, etc. The president has repeatedly said he wants to stand back and let Congress come up with a bill because if he were to send one to Congress it would be toxic for Republicans — i.e., [....]

President Harrison J. Bounel
by Bob Livingston,
Personal Liberty Digest
February 15, 2013
Who is Harrison J. Bounel? According to the 2009 tax return submitted by President Barack Obama, he’s the President of the United States. All nine U.S. Supreme Court Justices are scheduled to discuss this anomaly today.
The case in question is Edward Noonan, et al v. Deborah Bowen, California Secretary of State, and the Justices are finally looking at it thanks to the dogged determination of Orly Taitz. The case calls into question many of the documents Obama (Bounel, Soetoro, Soebarkah, etc.) has used and/or released as authentic since he came on the national scene. The case contends that the documents — birth certificate, Social Security number, Selective Service registration, etc. — are fakes or forgeries. If that’s the case, Obama should not have been on the California ballot in 2008 and, therefore, should not have received the State’s electoral votes.
Four of the nine Justices must vote to move the case forward. We’ll see.
Meantime, on Feb. 4, Kathleen O’Leary, presiding judge of the 4^th District Court of Appeal, reinstated the appeal of Taitz v. Obama et al filed by Taitz when she ran for Senate. That case involves [....]

Cuomo Aide Delivers Public Rebuke

February 21, 2013
Mike Fayette broke the rules. An engineer at the New York State Transportation Department, he gave an interview to a reporter from The Adirondack Daily Enterprise.
In the interview, Mr. Fayette praised Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the transportation workers who had labored to repair roads and bridges washed out by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. No matter. His supervisors said he had not been authorized to speak to the press, and they moved to fire him; he retired instead and left in February.

The story might have ended there — strange but small — but for the Cuomo administration’s reaction to an article about it that appeared on Wednesday in The Daily Enterprise.

A Queens high schooler who tried to gather hundreds of kids in the school lobby for a flash-mob dance of the viral “Harlem Shake” got rattled and rolled instead.

There He Goes Again
by Fred Barnes,

February 13, 2013
Did I miss something? Or was the State of the Union Address delivered by President Obama last night unusually pedestrian, packed to the gills with clichés, promises, gimmicks, and endless talk of partnerships, goals, challenges, and commissions for which Washington is famous?

The only stirring moment came when Obama introduced the people he’d invited to sit in the gallery. They included the parents of a 15-year-old who marched in the inaugural parade and was shot to death a week later, a brave policeman from Wisconsin, a caring nurse, and a 102-year-old woman who waited hours to vote last November. They were fresh and inspiring and seemed glad to be there.

In contrast, House speaker John Boehner had a weary look on his face as he sat through the speech, as if he’d heard it all from Obama before. And indeed he has. Next to him, Vice President Biden was not jocular Joe. The pair of them did not appear overjoyed to be there.

“Right now, it’s all about survival,” Bing told Forbes.
Two years later, Detroit’s problems continue to multiply, sadly. It is still dealing with high levels of violent crime and unemployment. Home prices, already at historic lows, plummeted a further 35% during the past three years to a median of $40,000 as net migration out of the city continued.

Agenda 21 discussed
by Richard Baris,
thebrennerbrief.com
February 13, 2013
Monday night on The Brenner Brief Radio Show, it was all about an issue that concerns every American citizen – Agenda 21. The policy’s goal is for government to have control over the areas concerning agriculture, biodiversity, ecosystem management, energy & housing, population, public health, resources & recycling, transportation, and sustainable economic development. The Brenner Brief contributor Jeffrey Kibler joined Harriet Park, author of Glenn Beck’s book “Agenda 21,” on the show that educated, entertained, and inspired.

Jeffrey Kibler has been sounding the alarm on Agenda 21 for some time now in his weekly columns on The Brenner Brief. He described the policies, which first gained traction during the 1992 Earth Summit, as a global effort dating back to the 1970s. Brenner and Kibler discussed his latest column, “Agenda 21: Global Marxism in Disguise,” and how the policies which are currently being pushed on every level of government are a “direct contradiction to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property.”

As a California resident, he has had a front row seat to the pilot program implemented in the San Francisco Bay area. Through legislation such as Sustainable Communities Strategy Act of 2008 and California Wild Lands Act, these pilot programs represent Agenda 21’s efforts to shift [....]

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION

This is probably the best e-mail I’ve seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day…
“We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.”
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone — not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes …
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don’t care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (Lastly….)
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country’s history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!

How Chicago reclaimed the projects but lost the city

by Kevin D. Williamson,

nationalreview.com

February 13, 2013

Hey, man. Hey, man. What you need?” The question is part solicitation, part challenge, and the challenge part is worth paying attention to in a city with more than 500 murders a year. The question comes from a young, light-skinned black guy with freckles. We’re in the shadow of what used to be the infamous Cabrini-Green housing projects, only a 15-minute walk from the Hermès and Prada boutiques and the $32 brunch at Fred’s that identify Chicago’s Gold Coast as highly desirable urban real estate, a delightful assemblage of Stuff White People Like. Just down Division Street from the boutique hotels and the more-artisanal-than-thou Goddess and Grocer, Cabrini-Green is still in the early stages of gentrification, though it does have that universal identifier of urban reclamation: a Starbucks within view of another Starbucks.

All that remains of Cabrini-Green is sad stories and the original section of row houses around which the projects grew up. Those row houses are being renovated as part of the foundations-up effort to rebuild the neighborhood. Even the name “Cabrini-Green” is being scrubbed from memory: The new mixed-income development on the site of the old Cabrini-Green Extension heaves under the unbearably pretentious name “Parkside of Old Town.” But some of the old commerce remains, and Freckles is pretty clearly an entrepreneur of the street. “You buying?” I ask what he’s selling, and he explains in reasonably civil terms that he is not in the habit of setting himself up for entrapment on a narcotics charge.
Cabrini-Green has had its share of tourists — in 1999, the film Whiteboyz found a group of Wonder Bread–colored hip-hop fans from Iowa visiting the site. But real estate and the scarcity thereof is the ruling fact of urban life, and once downtown Chicago began to evolve from a place in which people worked in factories and warehouses into a place in which people work in [....]

Soft Targets Back In Focus

by Scott Stewart,

STRATfor.com

February 13, 2013

From time to time, I will sit down to write a series of analyses on a particular topic, such as the fundamentals of terrorism series last February. Other times, unrelated events in different parts of the world are tied together by analytical threads, naturally becoming a series. This is what has happened with the last three weekly security analyses -- a common analytical narrative has risen to connect them.
First, we discussed how the Jan. 16 attack against the Tigantourine natural gas facility near Ain Amenas, Algeria, would result in increased security at energy facilities in the region. Second, we discussed foreign interventions in Libya and Syria and how they have regional or even global consequences that can persist for years. Finally, last week we discussed how the robust, layered security at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara served to thwart a suicide bombing.
Together, these topics spotlight the heightened and persistent terrorist threat in North Africa as well as Turkey and the Levant. They also demonstrate that militants in those regions will be able to acquire weapons with ease. But perhaps the most important lesson from them is that as diplomatic missions are withdrawn or downsized and as security is increased at embassies and energy facilities, the threat is going [....]

Abraham Lincoln

February 16, 2013

Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" has been a box-office hit and nominated for 12 Academy Awards, including best picture, best director and best actor for Daniel Day-Lewis, who portrayed our 16th president. I haven't seen the movie; therefore, this column is not about the movie but about a man deified by many. My colleague Thomas DiLorenzo, economics professor at Loyola University Maryland, exposed some of the Lincoln myth in his 2006 book, "Lincoln Unmasked." Now comes Joseph Fallon, cultural intelligence analyst and former U.S. Army Intelligence Center instructor, with his new e-book, "Lincoln Uncensored." Fallon's book examines 10 volumes of collected writings and speeches of Lincoln's, which include passages on slavery, secession, equality of blacks and emancipation. We don't have to rely upon anyone's interpretation. Just read his words to see what you make of them.
In an 1858 letter, Lincoln said, "I have declared a thousand times, and now repeat that, in my opinion neither the General Government, nor any other power outside of the slave states, can constitutionally or rightfully interfere with slaves or slavery where it already exists." [....]

Ag Subsidies: Out-of-Hand?!?

by Erika Johnsen,

washingtonpost.com

February 19, 2013

There is no sector of the American economy that has been so systematically and unnecessarily coddled for so long as agriculture. Stretching back to the 1800s, the federal government has been steadily piling on a hugely complex network of subsidies, payouts, grants, insurances, exemptions, regulations, loan programs, tariffs, production controls, protections, and who even knows what else meant to help out the supposedly struggling agricultural industry — except that none of the ostensible reasons for which the government claimed they did so actually apply anymore, if they ever did in the first place.
Alleviating farmer poverty? Farm household incomes are well above the national median. Saving the family farm? The vast majority of federal subsidies benefit the largest and wealthiest echelon of agribusiness growers of the ten biggest crops, not the small farms producing the organic butternut squash and boutique tomatoes we’re told we should be eating. Ensuring a cheap and stable food supply? The government constantly distorts market signals that jack up prices and misallocate resources — the free market just does it better. Protecting the environment? Big fail there, too: The government’s subsidies are become a part of lands’ values and create incentives [....]

Guns and Pensions

by Dr Thomas Sowell,

creators.com

February 19, 2013

A nation's choice between spending on military defense and spending on civilian goods has often been posed as "guns versus butter." But understanding the choices of many nations' political leaders might be helped by examining the contrast between their runaway spending on pensions while skimping on military defense.
Huge pensions for retired government workers can be found from small municipalities to national governments on both sides of the Atlantic. There is a reason. For elected officials, pensions are virtually the ideal thing to spend money on, politically speaking. Many kinds of spending of the taxpayers' money win votes from the recipients. But raising taxes to pay for this spending loses votes from the taxpayers. Pensions offer a way out of this dilemma for politicians.
Creating pensions that offer generous retirement benefits wins votes in the present by promising spending in the future. Promises cost nothing in the short run — and elections are held in the [....]

Where Do Criminals Get Their Guns?
by Fox News,

Last month Fox News invited convicted criminals to share where they get their weapons that they use in crimes.  A survey of Prison inmates found that 40% get them off the street, 40% from friends and family, 4% from pawnshops and 1% from flea markets and gun shows.  Does that debunk the entire gun control narrative that regulating guns shows will reduce crime?

US gov't to air-drop toxic mice on Guam snakes

by Eric Talmadge,

associatedpress.com

February 22, 2013

ANDERSEN AFB, Guam (AP) -- Dead mice laced with painkillers are about to rain down on Guam's jungle canopy. They are scientists' prescription for a headache that has caused the tiny U.S. territory misery for more than 60 years: the brown tree snake.

Most of Guam's native bird species are extinct because of the snake, which reached the island's thick jungles by hitching rides from the South Pacific on U.S. military ships shortly after World War II. There may be 2 million of the reptiles on Guam now, decimating wildlife, biting residents and even knocking out electricity by slithering onto power lines.

More than 3,000 miles away, environmental officials in Hawaii have long feared a similar invasion - which in their case likely would be a "snakes on a plane" scenario. That would cost the state many vulnerable species and billions of dollars, but the risk will fall if Guam's air-drop strategy succeeds.

"We are taking this to a new phase," said Daniel Vice, assistant state director of U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife [....]

What the National Pamphleteers don't Report:
Hellfire, Morality and Strategy
by George Friedman,
STRATfor.com
February 19, 2013
Airstrikes by unmanned aerial vehicles have become a matter of serious dispute lately. The controversy focuses on the United States, which has the biggest fleet of these weapons and which employs them more frequently than any other country. On one side of this dispute are those who regard them simply as another weapon of war whose virtue is the precision with which they strike targets. On the other side are those who argue that in general, unmanned aerial vehicles are used to kill specific individuals, frequently civilians, thus denying the targeted individuals their basic right to some form of legal due process.
Let's begin with the weapons systems, the MQ-1 Predator and the MQ-9 Reaper. The media call them drones, but they are actually remotely piloted aircraft. Rather than being in the cockpit, the pilot is at a ground station, receiving flight data and visual images from the aircraft and sending command signals back to it via a satellite data link. Numerous advanced systems and technologies work together to make this possible, but it is important to remember that most of these technologies have been around in some form for decades, and the U.S. government first integrated them in the 1990s. The Predator carries two Hellfire missiles -- precision-guided munitions that, once locked onto the target by the pilot, guide themselves to the target with a high likelihood of striking it. The larger Reaper carries an even larger payload of ordnance -- up to 14 Hellfire missiles or four Hellfire missiles and two 500-pound bombs. Most airstrikes from these aircraft use Hellfire missiles, which cause less [....]

The Past, Present and Future of Russian Energy Strategy
by Lauren Goodrich; Mark Lanthemann,
STRATfor.com
February 12, 2013
The future of Russia's ability to remain a global energy supplier and the strength the Russian energy sector gives the Kremlin are increasingly in question. After a decade of robust energy exports and revenues, Russia is cutting natural gas prices to Europe while revenue projections for its energy behemoth, Gazprom, are declining starting this year.
Russia holds the world's largest proven reserves of natural gas and continually alternates with Saudi Arabia as the top oil producer. The country supplies a third of Europe's oil and natural gas and is starting to export more to the energy-hungry East Asian markets. The energy sector is far more than a commercial asset for Moscow; it has been one of the pillars of Russia's stabilization and increasing strength for more than a century. The Kremlin has designated energy security as the primary issue for Russia's national security, especially since recent changes in global and domestic trends have cast doubts on the energy sector's continuing strength.
Throughout Russian history, the country's energy sector periodically has [....]

Ten Reasons I Wish George Washington Were Still Alive (Part 1)
by Chuck Norris,

February 19, 2013
Many conservatives point to great modern men and leaders, such as Ronald Reagan, as models we can follow, and I concur with their sentiments. But I think the best leaders lived long ago, during the founding of our republic, away from the limelight and luster of today's politics and Washington drama.
With Feb. 18's being Presidents Day and Feb. 22's being the actual day George Washington was born, I thought there would no better time to honor the man I consider to be one of the greatest leaders ever born. And I'm going to take a few weeks (columns) to do it.
Let me begin by highlighting a few background notes for some who might not be so familiar with this pillar of American life beyond the basics, as documented by the University of Virginia and the History channel.
On Feb. 22, 1732, George Washington was born to a family of middling wealth in Westmoreland County, Va., the second son from the second marriage of a Colonial plantation owner.
In 1752, Washington joined the British army and served as a lieutenant in the French and Indian War.
In 1759, he married Martha Dandridge Custis, a wealthy widow, and adopted her two children.
In 1775, at age 43, Washington became the commander in chief of the Continental Army, and in 1783, he led America to victory over the British after eight years of war.
As far as his political career [....]

Forget Reagan, Let's Bring Back Coolidge
by Daniel J. Mitchell,
townhall.com
February 20, 2013
As you can see here and here, I’m a huge fan of Ronald Reagan.
But it’s not just that the Gipper had good rhetoric. He also did a decent job of restraining spending and he significantly lowered marginal tax rates.
Combined with other pro-market reforms and his stalwart willingness to rein in inflation, as well as the fact that his policies led to the collapse of the evil Soviet Empire, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration that Reagan saved America.
That being said, he may not be the greatest president of the 20th century.
I’ve already shared a famous Calvin Coolidge video to show he said the right things. But, even more important, he did the right things.
Here’s some of what Amity Shlaes wrote about Coolidge for today’s Wall Street Journal.

…while Reagan inspired and cut taxes, he did not reduce the deficit. He did not even cut the budget. But if you look back, past Dwight Eisenhower and around the curve of history, you can find a Republican who did all those things: Calvin Coolidge. …The 30th president cut the [....]

Black Students 3-Times More Likely To Be Expelled In CCSD
by Paul Takahashi,

February 15, 2013
If you're a black student in the Clark County School District, you are three times more likely to be expelled from school than your nonblack peers.
Furthermore, your odds of getting suspended are more than double those of your nonblack peers.
These are the startling facts that have surfaced in a Vanderbilt University report on student discipline in Las Vegas. The study, which was commissioned by the School District, prompted Superintendent Dwight Jones to begin rethinking school conduct policies that disproportionately impact black students.
Schools across the nation are suspending and expelling black students at a higher rate than any other ethnic student group, resulting in hundreds of days of lost instructional time.
That has been particularly true in Clark County. Although black students constitute just 12 percent of the student population, they accounted for 43 percent of [....]

    Ladies and gentlemen, I really have to ask you to seriously consider what you've heard, and now this is the end of the evening so to speak. I heard a prize fight manager say to his fellow who was losing badly, “David, listen to me. It's not what's he's doing to you. It's what you're not doing. (laughter).

    Ladies and gentlemen, these people set, they opened the doors, they gave us the right, and today, ladies and gentlemen, in our cities and public schools we have fifty percent drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they're pregnant without a husband. (clapping) No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child (clapping)
     Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are [not*] holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. (clapping) In the old days, you couldn't hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye (laughing). And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don't know that today.

(clapping) Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don't know he had a pistol? (clapping) And where is his father, and why don't you know where he is? And why doesn't the father show up to talk to this boy?

God is tired of you (clapping and laughing). God was there when they won all those cases. 50 in a row. That's where God was because these people were doing something.

Cosby Won't Let Up; Neither Should We
by Laura Washington,
Chicago Sun-Times
July 5, 2004
I had never seen the Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson cry in public. And he's seldom upstaged. Until Bill Cosby came to town.
Last week Jackson invited Cosby to the annual Rainbow/PUSH conference for a conversation about controversial remarks the entertainer offered May 17 at an NAACP dinner in Washington, D.C.
That's when America's Jell-O Man shook things up by arguing that African Americans were betraying the legacy of civil rights victories. "The lower economic people," he said, "are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for their kids -- $500 sneakers for what? And won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics!"
Thursday morning, Cosby showed no signs of repenting as he strode across the stage at the Sheraton Hotel ballroom before a standing-room-only crowd. Sporting a natty gold sports coat and dark glasses, he proceeded to unload a laundry list of black America's self-imposed ills.
The iconic actor and comedian kidded that he couldn't compete with the oratory of the Rev. But he preached circles around Jackson in their nearly hourlong conversation, delivering brutally frank one-liners and the toughest of love.
The enemy, he argues, is us: "There is a time, ladies and gentlemen, when we have to turn the mirror around."
Cosby acknowledged he wasn't critiquing all blacks -- just "the 50 percent of African Americans in the lower economic neighborhood who drop out of school," and the alarming proportions of black men in prison and black teenage mothers. The mostly black crowd seconded him with choruses of "Amens."
To critics who posit it's unproductive to air our dirty laundry in public, he responds, "Your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day. It's cursing" on the way home, on the bus, train, in the candy store. "They are cursing and grabbing each other and [....]
