With all the blaming Obama likes to do of the Bush administration and of George W. Bush himself, I try to remember one thing. More specifically, one day. I think back to that awful day on September 11th. I think of my emotions on that day, the great sense of loss, disbelief, fear, and confusion, all packaged together laying waste to my head and my heart. And I remember, solidly, the fear I had that it was going to continue to happen. Maybe not on that scale, but it would certainly happen again. Maybe New York again? Or a small town in Iowa? Or, here, at my local Wal-Mart or Johnny’s Pizza? At the time, who the fuck knew? Anyone’s guess. But there was not another attack on our ...

The flight attendant whose dramatic departure from a JetBlue plane at a New York City airport has transformed him into a folk hero to some wants his job back, his lawyer told reporters Thursday. "That's his life," Steven Slater's Legal Aid defense attorney Howard Turman told reporters outside his client's home in Queens, near John F. Kennedy International Airport, where Slater's exit via an emergency slide vaulted him to national attention. "His father was a pilot; his mother was a flight attendant. That's in his blood. That's what he likes to do." Whether Slater can regain his wings was unclear. "We're conducting an internal ...
U.S. Is Bankrupt and We Don't Even Know It: Laurence Kotlikoff - Bloomberg

U.S. Is Bankrupt and We Don't Even Know It: Laurence Kotlikoff - Bloomberg Let’s get real. The U.S. is bankrupt. Neither spending more nor taxing less will help the country pay its bills. What it can and must do is radically simplify its tax, health-care, retirement and financial systems, each of which is a complete mess. But this is the good news. It means they can each be redesigned to achieve their legitimate purposes at much lower cost and, in the process, revitalize the economy. Last month, the International Monetary Fund released its annual review of U.S. economic policy. Its summary contained these bland words about U.S. fiscal policy: “Directors welcomed the ...
Maxine Waters: It's Bush's Fault That I'm a Butt Ugly Crook

Embattled Rep. Maxine Waters on Friday blamed the Bush administration for her ethics problems -- saying she had to intervene with the Treasury Department on behalf of minority-owned banks seeking federal bailout funds -- including one tied to her husband -- because the Treasury Department wouldn't schedule its own appointments. The California Democrat said in a Capitol Hill news conference -- an event rarely held during a congressional recess -- that she reached out to then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in late 2008 when his department failed to respond to the National Bank Association's request for a meeting. "The question at this point should not be why I called Secretary ...
Maxine Waters is NOT a nigger!

We all know that Maxine Waters is not a nigger. She’s a corrupt African-American politician. Unfortunately, to allege the second is tantamount to labeling Maxine Waters a nigger. Such is America when thugs like Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, Charles Rangel, etc. play the “race card” and the mainstream media cowers in fear. Well it’s time to throw the “bullshit flag” on Maxine and the rest of the race baiters who deliberately intimidate white liberals in the Democratic party, mainstream media sycophants, centrist wimps, and anyone else who plays by these thug’s rules. It’s also time to throw the same flag on the ...
Dr Laura Says Nigger Repeatedly On Air [Full Thread]

The biggest summer for racial tension since 1994 continues, this time with a strange, n-word-laden rant from what has been typically perceived as a fairly innocuous source: Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Speaking to a black caller who called for advice on handling racial tensions with her white husband, Dr. Laura uses the offensive word eleven times and ultimately tells the caller that if she doesn't "have a sense of humor," she should not "marry out of your race."
Pat Tillman's Father To Army Investigator: 'F--- You... And Yours'

There always was a dark cinematic thread to the story of Pat Tillman: the football star imbued with post-9/11 patriotism who was killed in a friendly-fire incident in the Afghan mountains and the allegations of a massive bureaucratic cover-up involving the highest levels of the U.S. Army in the wake of the tragedy. So it wasn't terribly shocking when word broke this past winter that "The Tillman Story," a documentary film, was being purchased by the powerhouse Weinstein Company. The story, even without a director applying his artistic license to the script, obviously had many elements of a political thriller. As the release date approaches -- the film will premiere in Los ...
It Is The Immigration Issue, Stupid!

This is the big one, boiling along just under the surface, aside from having to deal with a failed economy that is further bedeviled by a bunch of academic Keynesian dilettantes, whose Marxist zeal for redistributive policies are the reason for the problems we’re slogging through as a nation now. You think this is a dismal place, this economy? If they (the left) had their way, it would rapidly become a dark place devoid of joy or hope. Our Republic is being assaulted on so many fronts, it’s practically a full time job just keeping track of it all. Second only to the economy is the illegal immigration issue. There’s scarcely a state in the union that hasn’t been ...

BOHICA!! I won’t go into a description of the nomenclature on that one just now. Suffice that it means you’ve been had again and again and again. With magnificent disregard for reality the evil empire has struck again and voted itself fifty billion dollars worth of non-existent money. But wait… those presses have to work overtime to print all that money. Government printers with government unions. That’s Obama’s idea of jobs growth. Fifty billion dollars to prop up teachers’ unions and other public sector unions. Doubtless, much of this illicit largesse will work its way into DeMarxist war chests before long. This is where I tell you that now it’s no ...

A federal judge today refused to permanently stay his ruling overturning Proposition 8's ban of gay marriage but extended a temporary hold to give supporters time to appeal the historic ruling. U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who overturned the measure on Aug. 4, agreed to give its sponsors until Aug. 18 to appeal his ruling to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Walker said that same-sex marriages may resume at that time unless a higher court blocks them. Walker said the sponsors of Proposition 8 do not have legal standing to appeal his order because they were not directly affected by it.

Court protects petition signers from harassment Homosexual activists wanted to post identities online

A federal judge today ordered Washington state not to release the names and addresses of people who signed petitions in support of traditional marriage until their right to privacy – and threats of harassment against them – can be explored fully by the court. The word comes from James Bopp Jr., lead counsel for Protect Marriage Washington, which unsuccessfully sought to reverse the state legislature's decision to grant homosexual duos "everything but marriage" by statute. Bopp, of the James Madison Center, told WND earlier in the course of the case involving Protect Marriage Washington that he has documented threats and harassment against some of the 138,000 who ...
Obama Really Sucks!

I know now that I am not the only person to feel this way. On my way to vacation this week, I passed not one, but TWO cars with “Obama Sucks!” signs posted in the rear window. I began to wonder if there was some New England radio station having a contest to see just how many people would put up the sign. It turns out that folks really think he really SUCKS. I have to agree. Obama sucks! He has the gift of suck. He the wrote the book on sucking as President. In the annals of presidential history, he will go down as the suckiest president to walk the oval office. It was so encouraging to see that others feel the same way. Now if I could just learn how to post a sign in large print ...

Growing sovereign citizen movement rewrites US history, rejects government and warns of change They call themselves sovereign citizens, U.S. residents who declare themselves above state and federal laws. Many don't register children's births, carry driver's licenses or recognize the court system. Some peddle schemes that use fictional legal loopholes to eliminate debt and avoid foreclosures.

The Obama Depression -- Bank repossessions drive up July foreclosures

More Americans fell into foreclosure in July as a sour job market kept them from making payments, and banks took over homes at a near record pace. Banks repossessed the second highest monthly number of homes ever last month, working through distressed loans already on their books rather than sharply stepping up new default notices, real estate data company RealtyTrac said on Thursday. This reflects problem management instead of a fix of the root problem, said the company, which expects more than 1 million homes to be repossessed this year. "What's driving most of the foreclosure activity is unemployment and other types of economic displacement," RealtyTrac senior vice ...
The Obama Depression Worsens - Jobless Claims Up to 484,000

New applications for unemployment insurance rose last week to their highest level in almost six months, the latest evidence that some employers are still cutting their staffs. First-time claims for jobless benefits edged up by 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 484,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Analysts had expected a drop. That's the highest total since February. Initial claims have now risen in three of the last four weeks and are close to their high point for the year of 490,000, reached in late January. The four-week average, which smooths volatility, soared by 14,250 to 473,500, also the highest since late February. The prospects of more layoffs added to this week's ...

Thirty thousand people showed up to receive Section 8 housing applications in East Point Wednesday, suffering through hours in the hot sun, angry flare-ups in the crowd and lots of frustration and confusion for a chance to receive a government-subsidized apartment. The Housing Choice Voucher Program, called Section 8, subsidized the rents of low-income families living in apartments and houses that are privately owned. The federal program makes up the difference in rent that the poor can afford and the fair market value for each area. The same media pundits who pathologize the Tea Party as violent and greedy and too White won't be saying anything like that about this seething ...

In about 2 years from now when we elect a new President, Obama will be speaking about his presidency. He plans to blame Bush for the failure, because it wasn’t Obama’s fault things became much worse in the 4 years he ran the country. It wasn’t Obama’s fault he enacted policies that killed the private sector. It wasn’t Obama’s fault the American people elected an incompetent man. Bush is to blame for Obama’s failure. Case closed.

Michael Savage is the only major media figure reporting that former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates believes that death panels are a good thing and we shouldn’t waste money on end of life care. Is Bill Gates a Fascist? First he endorses China’s right to censor its citizens and shows no corporate leadership in taking any stand against a country that abuses human rights. Now Bill Gates deems that end of life care is a waste of money. Gates from his billion dollar ivory tower says saving ten teacher jobs is worth more than extending a human life three months. Has Gates seen the horrible public schools in this country. But that is not the question, the real question is what will Gates do ...

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — A Guantanamo jury recommended a 14-year sentence Wednesday for an al-Qaida cook, though its decision may be overruled by a plea bargain that will limit the time he spends in prison. Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al-Qosi of Sudan pleaded guilty last month to supporting terrorism, making him only the fourth Guantanamo detainee to be convicted since the prison, which has held nearly 800 men, was opened in 2002. The jury of 10 U.S. military officers was not told about the sentence limit in the plea agreement. If it is less than 14 years, the jury's sentence will only be applied if al-Qosi does something to break the deal, said Navy Capt. David Iglesias, a ...

Detective Josh Fazio of the Will County Sheriff's Department loves it when an iPhone turns up as evidence in a criminal case. The sophisticated cell phone and mobile computer is becoming as popular with police as it is with consumers because it can provide investigators with so much information that can help in solving crimes. "When someone tells me they have an iPhone in a case, I say, 'Yeah!' I can do tons with an iPhone," said Fazio, who works in the sheriff's department high-tech crimes unit. The iPhones generally store more data than other high-end phones -- and investigators such as Fazio frequently can tap in to that information for evidence. And while ...

Economy Heading for a Systemic Collapse into Hyperinflationary Great Depression Economics / Great Depression II Aug 05, 2010 - 02:29 PM By: The Energy Report When Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke admits to seeing an "unusually uncertain" economy ahead, it's pretty terrifying to imagine what he's really thinking. What John Williams envisions—and he's by no means looking to the far horizon—is a systemic collapse, a hyperinflationary great depression and the cessation of normal commerce. Despite that bleak outlook, however, when the economist and editor of ShadowStats.com sat down for this exclusive Energy Report interview, he also had some good news. The Energy ...

Rep. Grayson Unleashes On Gibbs: "Bozo The Spokesman" (VIDEO) Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) was typically direct and unsparing in his criticism of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on MSNBC this afternoon. In response to Gibbs's recent comments about "the professional left" and its dissatisfaction with the Obama administration, Grayson called Gibbs "Bozo the Spokesman" and declared he should be fired. "I don't think he should resign, I think he should be fired. He's done a miserable job," Grayson said. "He's so far in over his head he'd have to reach up to touch his shoes." Grayson went on: I'd like to see ...
Pentagon: Undisclosed Wikileak Documents 'Potentially More Explosive'

Pentagon officials say they are sifting through 15,000 classified Afghanistan war documents for sensitive material that could harm troops or civilians--documents they believe the on-line site WikiLeaks has obtained and might disclose. The records at issue contain material that is "potentially more explosive, more sensitive" than the information in the 77,000 Afghanistan field reports and assessments WikiLeaks put on-line last month in an effort to shed light on the U.S. military's war in Afghanistan, Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said. A task force of more than 100 intelligence analysts have been sifting "around the clock" through all 91,000 records, looking for ...

At a time when workers' pay and benefits have stagnated, federal employees' average compensation has grown to more than double what private sector workers earn, a USA TODAY analysis finds. Federal workers have been awarded bigger average pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has doubled in the past decade. Federal civil servants earned average pay and benefits of $123,049 in 2009 while private workers made $61,051 in total compensation, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data are the latest available. The federal compensation advantage has grown from $30,415 in 2000 to ...
