bin Laden hit the wrong tower in NYC

Navi Pillay, UN high commissioner for human rights, has requested details on Osama bin Laden's death since all counterterrorism acts must respect international law. Respect international law?? Did the UN make inquiries to Al-qaeda for details on why they hijacked 4 commercial airliners and used them as weapons to destroy both NYC world trade towers, damage the Pentagon and crash in Pennsylvania killing 3000 people in one day?? No, they didn't. Apparently, Ms. Pillay has been on her Sony PlayStation the last 10 years and missed the ongoing saga of Osama bin Laden. I wonder if she would have made this absurd request if the PlayStation Network was not shut down. Has she become another addict of PlayStation? Is the withdrawal addling her thought processes? If the US had notified third parties such as Ms. Pillay, would operational secrecy been maintained?? I don't think so. Check out Michelle Malkin's response to Ms. Pillay here.

Speaking of ex-speaker Nancy Pelosi

Here's an amusing video clip of Nancy Pelosi speaking on the virtues of unemployment insurance benefits.  Yes folks, she did find two good things about unemployment compensation.  It helps people who lost their jobs pay for food and shelter.  When people spend their unemployment benefits they "create" jobs.  It is an interesting idea that she claims has the support of many economists.  Except for the fact she and these economists have it all wrong, I would support the idea too.  The problem is unemployment benefits are 50% of a persons wages in a recent 12 month period.  So unemployed people are stimulating the economy less because they have to cut back on their spending.  Ms. Pelosi would really help stimulate the economy by putting her mind in gear and her mouth in neutral.  If she would help repeal obamacare and other job crushing tax bills she would see unemployment start to drop.  Every time congress finds a new way to spend the taxpayers money, they send more jobs offshore.  IF she would sponsor real immigration reform and cut down the number of illegal immigrants taking jobs from American Citizens.  Oops, I forgot, immigration amnesty is encouraged by democrats like Pelosi in hopes the immigrants will vote for them.  Stop taxing the citizens who are already here and you wouldn't need to import votes.

next stop . . . Armageddon

The end of days is near, folks.  Nancy Pelosi, former speaker of the House of Representatives and ardent critic of the Bush Administration's failure to quickly capture OBL, (see my 5/3/2011 post) called George Bush (he is such a lucky ducky) to thank him for his efforts that made OBL's capture possible.  What's next?  Hopefully, Obama will morally rejuvenate himself and admit the patient care and protection act is a 2000+ page pile of porkulus in dire need of repeal.  Ha Ha Ha, I'm such a dreamer.

Osama bin Laden died for his sins

On Sunday May 1. 2011, President Obama announced to the world (after a 30+ minute delay) that Osama bin Laden was killed by an American Armed Forces Special Operations team.  The team found him in a heavily fortified, $1 million mansion in Abbotabad, Pakistan.   Abbotabad is a suburb of Islamabad, Pakistan and the home of a Pakistani military academy.  Several retired Pakistani Military (read as rich) lived very close to the compound.  The team, Seal Team 6 to be precise, came in by helicopter and left 40 minutes later with bin Laden's corpse.  Bin Laden was buried at sea on the USS Carl Vinson.  The rationale for this was to respect Muslim burial tradition of burial within 24 hours of death.  Burial at sea was chosen to prevent the grave from becoming a shrine or Mecca for his followers.
A lot of people are breathing a sigh of relief over this.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not one of them.  She did a complete 180 degree  turn from her position in 2006.  Then, she said bin Laden had done irreversible harm to the nation and finding him would never correct it.  Way back in 2006, she said that the capture or killing of OBL was 5 years too late and would not make the USA any safer.  On Monday May 1, 2011, Ms. Pelosi said “The death of Osama bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida,”  Check out the link below for all the details.  A special thanks to Michelle Malkin for bringing this to my attention.

The Prodigal Birth Certificate

On Monday, April 25, 2011 Hawaii's registrar certified a long form birth certificate for Barack Hussien Obama as a true and legal document.  During Tuesday's White House press briefing, Jay Carney lambasted a reporter for asking why the President did not release the long form birth certificate and settle the issue of his eligibility.  On Wednesday morning, the White House posted the long form birth certificate online.  Obama said he did this to end the controversy over his citizenship so he could focus on more important issues.  The controversy did not seem to affect his "focus" (maybe obsession would be a better term) on ramming Obamacare through congress despite all the negative feedback the American People were giving him on it.
The timelines on this are interesting.  Back in January, Neal Abercrombie, Governor of Hawaii and friend of the President's maternal grandparents, announced there was some kind of written record of Obama's birth, just not a long form birth certificate.  Then on April 25 a long form birth certificate is conjured up, certified and delivered to the White House on Wednesday morning at the latest.
There are already skeptics who doubt the authenticity of this instant birth certificate.  The list of suspicious items is long.  Why is Obama Senior's race listed as African.  African is not a race it is a nationality.  Negro or colored were the terms used for black people back in the 1960s.  There are faint x marks above the boxes for twin and triplet.  The attending physican's signature box is smudged.

If Obama thinks this will make doubts about his citizenship and eligibility go away, he's wrong.  To paraphrase his buddy Rahm Emanuel, never let a possible conspiracy to deceive the people go to waste.  As one of our creditors, China, likes to say: we will be living in interesting times.

The True Road to Recovery

Friday night John Boehner, Harry Reid and Barack Obama reached a budget agreement for the U.S. government.  Conservatives and liberals complained there was too much compromise involved but hey, that is how agreements are reached between parties with different agendas.  Personally, I would have preferred higher spending cuts.  The democrats' threat to shut down the government would have hurt them more than the republicans.  Remember, Bill Clinton shut the government down for 3 weeks in 1995 and we're still here.  Back in the 1970s the government was shut down over budget problems.  I was a Federal employee with the Social Security Administration at the time.  I and my coworkers went to work every day.  The only difference was our earnings from October 1 until the budget was resolved was delayed.  We did not get any interest on the delayed funds even though they were in the U. S. Treasury deposits accounts earning interest.

At least we have a budget again.  The demagogues democrats were so busy with their 2500 page earmark and pork-laden piece of scrap law called obamacare they forgot(??!!) to make a budget.  A budget is a map for government to follow.  No budget means no real control over the government's spending.

One more point here.  There were reports that non-essential federal employees would be laid off until the budget impasse was resolved.  The number of employees affected was estimated between 500,000 and 800,000.  If that number could be reduced that would be a considerable savings.  It's like what Jay Leno said in response to Mr. Obama's request that small businesses increase hiring, The President forgot that only the government hires more people than they need.

obamacare waiver 1001

Michael Weiner, U.S. rep for New York City, possible candidate for mayor of New York City, wants to grant yet another waiver for obamacare regulations.  Since over 1000 waivers have already been granted in the first 12 months of obamacare this should not seem too shocking.  Since most of these waivers were granted to obamacare's most ardent supporters, such as public employee unions, it still should not be shocking.  Since Mr. Weiner was one of the last left wing liberals to give up on the public option, it still should not be too shocking.  The shocking fact is Mr. Weiner wants to grant an obamacare waiver to the City of New York, population 8+ million (according to the 2008 World Almanac and book of facts).  Mr. Weiner is of the opinion that the big apple is so well versed in the practice of socialized medicine and government invervention into individual lives and liberties that the obamanation could take lessons from NYC on how to pave the road to socialism.  This is a change of heart from the Obama administration and his sock puppets czars who want to transform the USA into a socialist democracy like too much of western Europe.

The question of the day is how many demagoguescrats and other supporters of obamacare have got to label obamacare as the doormat to a single payer health care system??!!  People that think socialized/nationalized health care or even government in general should try living in one of these nations.  How many people think millionaire socialist documentary maker Michael Moore will request an air ambulance to Havana when he has a heart attack??  (Yes, I believe he has a heart, despite the fact that he fired one of his employees on Christmas Eve.  I do wonder how many chambers his heart has, though)
