 Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Childrens:

 A guy has a bad day at work and is heading home.

Then there is the guy who likes the ponies and loses his paycheck at the track.

Of course, we have all heard of the guy who stops at the local, after work if he has a job, gets load on the heads to the missus.

And what is the commonality with these three guys?

The statistics show that he is abusive to his wife, his kids or both.

It does not take a rocket scientist, or even an 8^th Grade student, to know that “man” with self-esteem issues yet with an inflated sense of self canNOT allow “things” to happen. They HAVE to do something.

The problem is that they are generally cowards.

The guy who “had a bad day at work” must realize that the reason it was a bad day was because of his own inadequacy.  Some have hard days at work, tricky days, but never a bad day.

The gambler is another issue.  Either he is an adrenaline junkie or just another working stiff who can’t pay the bills.  The difference is that the true gambler likes the excitement but can control their impulses.  The dude who is wagering is pay check is in most cases not a bad guy.  More likely than not he is trying to generate more income for his family.

The issue is that he is failure at work and hence his need to enhance his income.  But he fails at gambling as well and when he gets home, be she sympathetic or not he is going to light up the bride.

Then there is the true loser. Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a drink more than most people, so I am not being critical on that aspect (the drinking that is.) But the guy who canNOT face his own reality climbs into the bottle and comes out swinging.

Sad but true, there are these horrible males (certainly not “men”) who canNOT control their inadequacies or face their failures.  But do they take stock of their situations? Do they see the errors of their ways?   Do they try to rationally cogitate on how to get their lives back on track?

Hell no.

They are idiots (and if that hits close to home, by all means I am here to talk.)  And because these guys are real or imagined losers, they take out their aggressions on those weaker than themselves; their wife and kids.

Now, let’s crank that up a flock of degrees of magnitude.  And, as a bonus, ratchet up the deficiencies, inadequacies, fear and delusions of grandeur by an equal amount.

And what do you have?

The Biff and Vlad Show.

Vlad has had Biff’s number before Biff even knew he even had a number.

Sadly, Biff was out golfing or holed up with his doppelganger when the numbers came out.

Biff hates Vlad.

Why?

I started this a week or more back.  Since then things have changed but despite that I felt that I should still send this out as I have just earned my pretend degree in amateur psychology.

Politics are and always will be a game, like chess at times, like playing chicken at others.

Our problem is that we have a guy dressed up for a squash game on a football field.  He does not know the game and his false bravado will allow him to be crushed.

Vlad, on the other hand, could show up on a football field dressed for squash and if not win, make the other guy hurt.

As I am all too fond of saying, there are no such things as co-inky-dinks.

Biff bends over any old way to appease the stridently vocal tiny minority of gays.

A few weeks before the Olympics, Vlad outlaws homosexuality.  Anyone question the timing?

Biff says he will not send an official delegation but instead ships over a few homosexuals.

Vlad says nothing.

He won.

How did he win?

There were no issues and gays are still illegal.

That said, the woes in the Ukraine… again total and utter mishandling typical of a beginner, are being handled so poorly.

Biff, and to be fair most people, does not understand the relationship of the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine and Russia.  That part of the world was given to the Commie local leaders way back when (it is the breadbasket of Russia) as it made no difference as it was all part of the Soviet Union.  After the end of the USSR and the various and several nations had autonomy, parts of what should have been Russia were part of Ukraine.  So, in a way, I can understand why the Eastern Ukrainians would want to rejoin with their fellow countrymen.  But that is not part of this discussion.

So, Biff is really involving himself in what is really a civil war.  And throwing money at a problem, the quintessential Liberal SOP, is not going to work. The crook ex-president has prolly stolen a number of times the billion bucks Biff is offering as a bribe to play with the West.

What is infuriating is Biff’s insistence that Russia (whenever you hear him say “Russia”, hear the word “Vlad”) is breaking international law.

I am sure Vlad gives THAT a lot of credence as I am sure he is well aware of all the laws Biff has broken and continues to do.

I am going to end this at this juncture. The one thing that I canNOT put my finger on is if this is all part of a greater scheme…

LAST WORD:  Again, please keep our friend Brigid Vogt in your prayers.  She has had to undergo some more operations and outlook is variable…  keep her husband Ben and the kids in your prayers as well… thanks so much!

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Krewe Members:

BUT FIRST…..  A Happy Fat Tuesday to all y’all.  And who dat who say who dat!  Laissez les bon temps rouler!  Yup, tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the penitential season for many CHRISTians and today is the last day to clean out your fridger, finish up the Kings Cake from Haydel’s Bakery and make your resolutions and do your best to keep them.  If you are a Catholic, remember It is a day of fast and abstinence. I am sure one day won’t kill you!  So, let’s do our best to be better people not just in Lent but every day.  We are up against a tough foe…          

I wonder.  About a lot of things.  Often.

I am asked about things.  All kinds of things.

You see and hear things then you have to ask yourself what did you REALLY think you saw and heard.

You read the editorials, the letters to the editors, various posts on websites, Facebook and the like and you are forced to ask yourself:  What planet are these people from?  And do not be surprised to learn they feel the same about us.

I will try to explain.

Try.

It is said the last thing a politician needs to be is caught with a dead female, a live boy or a goat.  (Kennedy’s are apparently recused.)

And while that may be true, I wonder, a lot, about how often things like that occur in the various halls of power.

And while I wonder how often that happens, I wonder more, a lot, as to the circumstances.

Back in 2010 the “Republicans” picked up some sixty-three seats wresting the control of the House from the Wicked Witch of the West, San Fran Nan. While I do not have the exact figgers at hand, most of the freshman and a number of veteran House members considered themselves members, supporters or kindred spirits with the Tea Party and if not in name then certainly ideology.

In both the House and Senate you have seen some of those professing true Constitutional bona fides only to screw the pooch at some juncture.

The Judas Marco Rubio’s price for selling out was some undeliverable promise of immigration reform.  The lowest of the low, Sen. Schemer did the Republicans and Conservatives the big favor for outing Rubio.

“There is this long time powerful Senator who wants poor little old me to help him!  Wow!  I must be special!”

Er, yeah, Marco.  You are tied to the immigrant community and Schemer knows that. He is slicing your political Achilles tendon by throwing in with him. He has nothing to lose, he is a reprobate and unlike you, Marco, does not care a whit about the illegal aliens except for the perception that he wants to help them, but he does not care one way or the other.  You wanted to help them but you threw your paycheck on shore leave to the first hooker you met on the dock.  (Apologies to hookers linking them to Schemer.)

Of course, others have fell by the wayside of true Constitutional belief.  Paul Ryan fell on his own sword. Eric Cantor was hoisted by his own petards.   And there is a killing field of others all the way up to Smoking Johnny himself who apparently is not smart enough to drink the political hemlock and get out of America’s way.

Yes, that is all well and good and you all know that but what of the others?

And that is what I am wondering about.

Of those sixty to one hundred plus so called “Tea Party” peeps in the House, what happened to the others.

Hmmmmmm?

Here in New Detroit there is long history of organized crime.  Ditto in Chicago, Boston, Philly, virtually in every major city.  In the Mafia, be they Italian, Irish, Columbian and so forth, there are gangs running far more of the city than the voters think.

Usually what happens is that some goon comes up to a shop owner and says he will protect his business for some money each week.  The shop owner says that he does not need protection.

And a week later, something bad happens to the business.

Or, some fellow comes over to a council member or alderman or other relatively low level elected official and says that a friend of his would be very grateful if the official voted a certain way.  He repeats this “promise” to a number of officials.  The vote is held on who gets the carting contract and those who played ball received “contributions” to their election campaigns.

Those who didn’t may have experienced, er, “car troubles.”

In Washington they have elevated this kind of behavior to an art form.

“So you are the new Congressman from Bacon Flats, eh?  And you were supported by Trey Gowdy, huh?”  (If you do not know who he is, look him up – preferably on youtube.com)

“Why yes sir!  I am proud to represent the fine people from my district!”

“That’s nice, glad you feel that way.  We will be in touch to let you know how we want you to vote on certain issues, not all of them of course, you have to represent your constituents, but from time to time we will tell you the way we would prefer you vote.  Our friends can be very generous, then again….”

Now, this guy sloughs it off.

A few weeks later he is at a dinner/gathering/bar or some such place.  A stunning woman strikes up a conversation with him.  She is so impressed that he is Congressman!  They have a few drinks and the next thing he knows, he is waking up in a hotel room with a woman not his wife.

A short time later a bill is coming up for a vote.  It is not a bill he can support.   He gets a visit from a lobbyist who tries to convince him to vote for the bill.  The lobbyist tries to grease the wheels without making it look like a bribe but this guy can’t be bought.

The lobbyist thanks him for his time and says perhaps next time they can do business. Before he leaves, the lobbyist drops a manila envelope on the Congressman’s desk as he leaves.

Back at his desk, the Congressman turns the large envelope over and sees that is it addressed to his home.  Out of curiosity he opens the envelope to see a packet of pictures of him and the stunning woman doing all kinds of things.

Message sent and received: We now own you.  You vote the way we tell you, or your missus will see these…

Maybe this is how Representative Henry Radel of Florida wound with possessing cocaine?  He resigned. Of course, if he was a Kennedy or running a gay brothel out of his apartment…

So, who is to say?  Are we so naïve to think that there are people who want to destroy our Country for their own ignoble aims but would stop short of setting up someone in a sexual situation or putting drugs on them?

And this happens because we let it happen.  Both parties are guilty it is just that the Left seems to enjoy it more.  And besides, many on the Left have as hobbies what the Right find abhorrent or aberrant.

I think you are getting the picture on this.  And until someone elected to Congress travels 24/7 with a professional witness, such as a Cardinal, they may just get caught up in something.

Unrelated in a way and quite frankly I am loathe even to report this but here is the type of people who are running the Country and schools.

You need not even open the link, the words in the link tell it all.  I am without words.   Judge for yourself.

Disturbing, yes?

But, just in case you think that is an anomaly. Let’s see if we can find something else equally offensive but less prurient.

Oh, here we go!

How many of you are married?  Hmmmm…  wow!  And how many of you have raised children?  Ohhh, impressive!

Did you know that per NBC you are living an “alternative lifestyle?”

Of course, the libs out there might agree.  Just because someone is married to a person of the opposite sex (sorry, redundant), has a child with that person, believes in God and attends Church does not mean that is the only way to live!

They see nothing wrong with homosexual relationships, sex-changes, bi-sexuality or anything else.  So, by definition they are correct, living a moral, heterosexual God-Fearing life IS alternative to what the Left supports and proclaims.

But the underlying message is of a different sort of semantics.

By inference, NBC is stating that living as we ought IS the alternative and not the norm.

That is enough for now, don’t you think?

More to come….

My Friends and Fellow Vets of All Stripes:

(NOTE: Today’s edition is being preempted by this one.  Not that I think this masterpiece is better than the one I cobbled together last week for today’s delivery.  It is that I neglected to forward that issue to this computer.  So, the one that you will see on Tuesday, most likely, will have been today’s issue.  Trust me, you will feel five days younger when you read it!  But in all seriousness, this may be one of the most daunting issues I have delivered.)

We know how I feel about co-inky-dinks.  As George Burns may have said: “Ain’t no sucha thing, Gracie.”

We hear all kinds of things in the ether.  Some of us do not follow the news. And truly, as time goes on, I can’t say I blame you, but do so at you own peril.

Then there are those who just listen to the point of view which agrees with theirs.  If you are a Lib, heck throw dart, virtually all of the SRM is with you. If you are a Conservative, your pickings are slim.

But, to really be “fair and balanced” you MUST absorb as much from each side as you can.  You MUST read between the lines as I always admonish you to do. You MUST keep an open mind to all that comes down the pike, as even a blind squirrel can find his own nuts.

I get more good information from MorOn.Org than many of the sites on the Right.  Why? They are laser focused on one thing, whatever that is, but to their own detriment.  You see, to make their case they are going to give up more than they ought.  But, ssshhhh, don’t tell them!

So, you read the right wings sites, blogs, ad items.  You see that the DHS or some agency just bought 2,500 Hummers and billions of rounds of ammo.  Or that the IRS just got 8,700 rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition.

And so on and so forth.

But you need to be aware whence said info comes.

For instance, there was a thing a while back about ammo.  Now, there is no mystery that there is an ammo shortage.  Some of it is real and some “man made.”  Think of the runs on the banks in the first great depression and what we most likely experience again.

You see that the gum’mint used to sell the spent brass to ammo manufacturers for reloading. Then it came down that this Maladministration decided that they had enough money so they said that going forward, the ammo makers will not have dibs on the spent shells but they would be shredded and the dross sold to … China.

Of course, real or imagined, the idea of there being a lack of shells automatically creates a market greater than reality suggests. (But with this bunch, entirely understood.)

Now, how do I know that the ChiComs are getting our spent brass and that the shortage of ammo is both real and contrived?

Well, let’s go back in the archives.

Do you remember the movie “Men in Black”?  Do you recall the part where the Tommy Lee Jones character says to the Will Smith character “We need to get the cheat sheets to see what the aliens are up to”, and he picks up the tabloids:  News of the World, The Enquirer and so on.  Smith tells him that they are pelosi and Jones says, sure, whatever, let’s see.

So it is with Snopes.Com.  You see, the nice folks who own SNOPES are true blue Biff-Bots.  They are not above, er, “grading on a curve” to make this bunch look good.

So, if you Bing (I do not Google. I “Bing” or “Duckduckgo”) “spent brass” SNOPES will be one of your choices.  Usually they will say “True” or “False.” And when someone who is a tool of this cabal such as SNOPES has to equivocate with “Mixture of True and Outdated Information”, then you KNOW it is true.

But that is only part of it.

Recall what I said about the Fabians.  They are (note: “are”, present tense) hell bent for leather to take over the world.  And, recall, their mascot is the turtle, hark back to Aesop.  They are very content to let things happen and unfold at glacier speed.

Now, you may have heard last week that noted Trade School Grad and current SecDef “Chuck” Hagel has decided to “trim” the military.  (And what is it with Libs and calling themselves “Chuck.” “Chuck” is a good name, a man’s name.  Look at Chuck Norris, Chuck Connors, Chuck Berry, heck even Chuck E. Cheese. They are men!  When a Lib calls himself “Chuck” it is kinda like penis envy.  Sorry, Schemer.)

Yeah, right on Chuck! Let’s cut back the military to pre WWII levels.  Or, as Don Adams in “Get Smart” might have said:

“Would you believe we have 23 divisions of trained killers ready to attack?  Well, would you believe 10 wings of fighter aircraft laden with bombs?  Then would you believe 3 asthmatic Boy Scouts with an incontinent chihuahua.”

And despite the rhetoric of the Left on how much money we will save and we are finally winding down the war that Biffus Magnus won five years ago and how we no longer will be the world’s policeman (more on that to come) and all that other pelosi, be assured none of that has one scintilla of truth as the reason why the military is being eviscerated.

I mean, hush, this gum’mint has proved time and time and time again that if they need money, they just fire up the Fed printing presses.  And even if they were not rolling in the aisles laughing about the dangers of raising the debt ceiling, even pretty much low double- digit IQ folks could figure out that they could save even MORE money that would be saved by the Pentagon having a “Going Out of Business” Sale by stop giving money to people who do not deserve it.

“But, hey look, a gay football player!”

“But what about the Army?”

“Yeah, but whoooo a gay basketball player!”

“But what about the PXs and Class VIs?”

“Did you see Moochelle on Fallon?”

“But what about the air wings?”

“Did you see Biden on Meyers?”

“But what about the cut to military pensions?”

“Did you see Biden on the View?”

“But what about not refueling the aircraft carrier Lincoln?”

“Did you see Biden on the 25-cent horsey ride?”

Point is that there is a whole bunch of unnecessary pelosi all over the news that has but one purpose: to make you take your eye off the ball.

Recall one of Biff’s promises, one of those that sounded so alien but now could be Book of Revelation prophetic.

2 July 2K12:  Biff threatened a “Civilian National Security Force”. He said: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

(Before we go on, do consider that he is, to my knowledge, the only president who even suggested the need for the military to address domestic national security.  Of course the “domestic” part is left out of his threat but inferred by the need for his “civilian national security force.”)

Just in case you think this is far-fetched, even though there are aspects of this already in place, where else might you find authorization for a modern day Praetorian Guard?

Well, where else but in the so-called “Affordable Care Act”, OBAMAS OBAMACARE!

So, in the health care act there is control of all your finances, access to all of your health care records, college loans and now the SS.  In fact there is EVERYTHING in that bill but…. health care!

Now, of course there are always to methods of achieving parity or superiority.  The right way is to work hard, to improve in all areas and eventually you will have the momentum to equal and surpass your competition.

As we all know the Left hates competition.  That is why they do not keep score in “sports”, why they support Common Core education because 8X8 is around 70 or so, after all 64 is so exclusionary.

So why does the Left want to shut down the military?

Because it will be that much easier to run the show with their own “Civilian National Security Force”.   Cut down the other guy, and you look bigger! Just read any Lib OpEd piece or listen to NBC, PS/LSD, CNN, etc.

After all, we do not want to be the world’s policeman, we want to be our own Country’s policeman.  And, with our own personal presidential police force, well, we don’t need no steenkin’ military.  And besides, not only do they have weapons, they know how to use them.

And as I just said, the Left hates competition.

Again, I am not sayin’, I am only sayin’.

This is only food for thought, you draw your own conclusions.

I could be waaayyyyyyy off base, but in case I am not, I call dibs on the comfy shackles.

My Friends and Fellow Vortex Victims:

(PREBAR: There will be a follow up to the last FISH with the additional educational information as provided from the Far East.  Many of you are chiming in and I want to allow sufficient time to reply and digest.)

Quite frankly, over the past few years many of these pages are been devoted to exposing the lies and excesses of gov’t and in particular this Maladministration.

Biff has proven himself expert in three key areas: Community Activism on a national scale, vacationer-in-chief and being totally tone deaf.

But, to quote Her Thighness, who would have been slapped in irons for being in contempt of Congress in a fair and just time, “What difference does it make!”

Hark back to the previous issue, these “politicians and appointees” have no allegiance to our Nation or any.  They do not take any oath seriously.  They do not care about anything not on their personal agenda.  They are misanthropic, kakistocratic, feckless New World Order types.

People voted in Biff the first time. He TOTALLY screwed the pooch.  In any country with a shred of decency and an honest Fourth Estate not only would he not have been re-elected, but possibly run out of office before he did the damage he did going forward.

Many of you learned of his initial excesses and misdeeds from things like the FISH and not the SRM.  Many of you refused to believe it. I can’t say I blame you.  But you could have checked the allegations and facts and rather than calling me crazy for calling him a Marxist, you could have found out for yourself.

But, that is a vent for a future FISH.

You have the worst people in the most sensitive of positions.  You have a cabal of Czars who have not only zero approval by Congress but zero oversight of the henhouse except by the wolf himself.

You see, all these departments, directorates, agencies and more ALL come under the Executive Branch.

Yes, The EPA and DEC, the HHS and ICE and all the others work for Biff.  The wacko environmentalists of the EPA and others issue memorandums that have the effect of a law passed by Congress.  Except these “laws” are not passed by anyone who has ever been elected to their position.

Forget about the bought and paid for Ambassadorships to the plum countries which are given to campaign donors and big names.  Nothing new there, all Presidents have done this.  But as a rule they are not going to screw things up.

On the other end of the spectrum are the Ambassadors and Diplomats to the roughly half of the world’s countries of which most people have never heard.  Here you have the career foreign service guys who go from one God Forsaken hell hole to another.

Then there are a few dozen countries where we do not have all that much in common or trade, they are basically just acquaintances rather than friends.  And it is a country like beautiful Norway that Biff wanted to send one chap from Long Island, George Tsunis, who is a big money supporter to be the US Ambassador.

All went well till the Q&A in the Senate hearings.  Tsunis was trying to make points with the Norwegian President by saying nice things about him, but he was quickly advised that, gee, ooops, Norway does NOT have a president. Then he had the positions of the main political parties backwards and was 100% wrong on the gov’ts positions on sensitive topics.

On the bright side, he has never even been to Norway.

He was stopped from further embarrassment on a few occasions by Sen. Johnson and this idjit had the nerve to say, twice, “Thanks for the save, Senator.”

I believe the nominees for Ambassadorships for Iceland and Argentina were equally qualified. When I say “qualified” I mean that in the sense that they should not be allowed to roam the streets without a minder.

Oh, note that one of the seats on that august panel was filled by Sen John McRINO of Arizona who categorized the nominees as “ignorant.”

Again, Biff is not the first president to appoint people to the cool places for some kind of quid-pro-quo. Most of them, however,  had some idea about  the country for which they were under consideration to represent our Country.

And it is actions like this, these political paybacks, by Biff to people so patently unqualified that is eventually going to get someone’s nose out of joint.

(The Verdens Gang, Dagbladet, Aftenposten and other Norse papers have excoriated our decision and feel incredibly slighted.  If you see Vikings coming to our ports, then you know they mean business.)

Now, step it up a notch.  Let’s look at some high profile peeps who are underqualified to be a hall monitor but are representing us on the world stage.

Ok, there is no love lost between Biff and Mooch-747 and the Clintons.   Hillaroo’s appointment to Sec State was a calculated move. It gave her a high profile gig – after all , she was not going to accept Secretary of the Interior – and it kept her, by and large, out of the Country and DC in particular.

It would have been far more difficult for her Thighness to build on her power base for a potential run against Biff in 2012 had she remained in the Senate or even in the Country.  Now that 2012 has come and gone, so has she.

Her utter mishandling of Benghazi resulting in four American deaths and the parallel to her campaign ad of some years earlier hastened her departure.  (Recall the ad: “Who do you want answering the phone at 3.00 AM?”  Not her!)  She is now a political liability but now that she is out of the Maladministration, the Ministry of Truth can re-write history and there is no connection between her and Biff.

Enter someone who must share at least some of JoeBama’s faulty DNA:  John “Why the Long Face” Kerry.

Here is a guy who came from a family what had some wealth and connections.  Yup, setting the stage for the future, WTLF’s dad married into the Forbes/Dudley-Winthrop Family. Later, Little Johnny would marry two wimmens with tons of dough.

But Kerry did well not on his own actions and abilities, per se, but on meeting people, cultivating relationships with them and then seeing what they could do for him.  (If you do not have a dictionary handy, that is also the definition of a leech.)

He was a member of the “Skull and Bones” secret society while at Yale. That opened doors for him later on in life.  He is a suspect war “hero” possessing a rather contradictory recollection of events. But it allowed him to be for the war before he was against it.

A chant he would repeat on other occasions and I would suggest much to his delight.

You see if you tell a bald-faced lie without breaking out in fits of laughter and your constituency says to themselves: “Er, I guess that can be true”, then you will succeed in a Democrat environment for years to come.

(And if YOU believe that line of pelosi, I have a book I’d like to sell you.  “How To Double Your IQ” with my famous “no money back” guarantee!)

He treaded water thru his Senate “career.” He is , after all, an uber-Liberal from the bluest of blue states and if you think getting elected as a Lib in the Bay State is tricky, just take a look at the deviants, miscreants and political soul-sellers, who get elected there.

So his CV is rich in many respects save for any kind of meaningful accomplishments.  What does someone do with someone like this?

Promote him!

He is a tool.  He has no self-respect but an oddly inflated sense of self-importance. He is a member of the Club. So, he will do anything to prostitute his and his better’s world view.

This buffoon is traipsing all over the world spreading the Liberal gospel of the so-called “global warming.”  (Yes, yes, yes, we will revisit this and the other incorrect Liberal falling sky predictions..)

After screwing up Syria (and who is vetting this idjit, Tsunis?), working on promoting a civil war in the Ukraine (and Biff is not just chiming in but taking sides on this one), WTLF is out there telling assemblies and groups all over the world the twin lies that “global warming is the number on threat to the world above terrorism” and that “Americans see this as a grave threat.”

Just to lend a scintilla of clarity to his remarks, the number one threat to the safety of the world is a photo-finish between Biff and terrorism.  The so-called “global-warming” is not even in the top ten concerns of the average American.

To put his asinine accusation in some perspective, four of the top ten important issues comprise three quarters of the voting.  They are: The Economy, Unemployment and Jobs, Healthcare and (get this) Poor leadership, corruption and abuse of power in gum’mint.

The “global warming” is just below the push for Ford to bring back the Edsel and just ahead of concern over the welfare of the snail darter.

Yes, this will continue as we are starting to see that the issues and players are intertwined.  This suggests collusion and a concerted effort to wreck the Nation.

One last thing.   Ever since al-Gore’s proclamation of the danger of “global warming” was just so much hot hair disproved by the vast majority of real scientists and climatologists, they have been calling it “climate change.”

Just like Biff is trying to distance himself from OBAMA’S OBAMACARE by calling it everything but his eponymous bill, I have no choice but to call it what it is.  So, the alleged and misnamed “Affordable Healthcare Act” is now and will be in perpetuity “OBAMA’S OBAMACARE” so too will “climate change” for forever known as “global warming.”

I am not letting them get off the hook, I not going to let them re-invent terms.

After all, we have always been at war with Eastasia.  It is double-plus-ungood.

Out.

My Friends and Fellow Shills and Shells:

A good friend a long time reader from Bangkok emailed me the other day. He commented that there should be some kind of disclaimer on any bill passed by Congress.  We shall get to that…

But first, there are soooo many of you out there who are complaining that this president or that attorney general or the other cabinet secretary or the random Member of Congress is not upholding their oath of office.

Virtually every oath of office, just like being sworn into the Military, refers to upholding and defending the Constitution and swearing said allegiance to God.  Typically, one raises his hand to God or places it on a Bible and swears that the words of the oath and your fealty are true.

Lemme refresh your memories.  Recall some five or six years ago when I brought to your attention, many for the first time, the words of one of Biff’s pals and later a Czar, Cass Sunstein?

(I am sick and tired of his creep and his foreign-born bride, Samantha Power, who is the US Ambassador to the UN.)

Anywho, this Cass-hat said “by the year 2020, the Constitution as we know it will be largely irrelevant.”

And everyone laughed.

And it is becoming true.

And don’t you just want to spit those few times the Left actually tells the truth!

Let’s walk back a little.

You apply for a job, you pass the interview and get the gig.  On your first day at work you go through some kind of orientation, fill out paperwork and the rest of the first day events.

Now, before anyone is dismissed and sent to their offices, they are all told to stand, put their hand on a copy of “Silent Spring” and swear to Rachael Carson that they will not create anything which might adversely affect the environment.

Sure, you do it.  After all, you are a diesel fitter at the bloomer factory.  There is very little if at all anything in your job description with respect to the environment. Second, you have no idea what is in that book and have even a smaller idea who Rachel Carson might be.

So, too, is it with our Liberal/Socialist/Marxist friends and they have as much as told us!

They do not believe in the Constitution.

They do not believe in God.

(Someone prove me wrong.)

So, swearing to something that they do not believe in to a Deity they do not think exists is the EXACT same as swearing on a book  to some enviro-wacko nut who is responsible for millions of deaths.

(Yes, Rachael Carson may be the biggest mass murderer in history after Margaret Sanger.  She is largely responsible for having DDT banned.  Long story for another day but that was the “global warming” type hoax of the 60’s.)

Without further ado, from my pal Howie in Bangkok, a most excellent exegesis to amplify on the above.  More to come!

(Take this seriously people.  And If you wish to comment please do.  Howie expressed an interest in feedback, please do noyt let us down.)

People must learn to understand what politicians are doing TO them under the guise of doing something FOR them.- hbm

Jack
Thanks for the quick reply. Let me clarify. I don’t want to stress anything as a warning label. I want a detailed “Harmful Impacts Statement” in each piece of legislation, just like each piece of legislation contains information on who benefits. Any warnings about who is responsible are much lower priorities, and may not be needed. I’ll get back to “Warning Labels” at the end of this email.

Harmful Impacts Statement

I am talking about requiring a paragraph in every piece of legislation that explains what foreseeable harm it will cause, who will be harmed, and how long it will take before people can feel the harmful impacts.   I believe that legislation, like physicians, should do no harm, but there are instances when avoiding some harm might not be possible.

Main Points

• Legislation never tells us what we can expect in the longer term or who will be impacted besides the people in groups specified in the legislation itself. That is insufficient for understanding the effects of the legislation. We say, for example, that this law will improve the lot of the poor.  A law never says it will help the poor only in the short term, or that in the long term  it will hurt the poor because of the inflation the new law will cause. But that is what the legislation should say. 
• Many or most people do not understand that they are affected by legislation even if their name or their  group is not cited in the legislation. “Oh, I’m not poor, so this doesn’t affect me.” This is nonsense of course, but it causes people to care less what gets passed…and when the consequences come back to bite, they are clueless why things got worse for them. For example: legislation causes inflation, and a tiny bit of inflation will not be noticeable to most.  However, the aggregate inflation over time of thousands of laws, rules and regulations is the reason that cars cost 5-6 times what they did before the inflation of many decades. Inflation is a tax that hurts the poor the most because it makes necessities cost more. The poor are the most harmed by inflation.  So when things start getting bad for the poor again, they scream for more increases in the minimum wage. (COLA increases are also minimum wage increases, but I won’t go into that now).

My concept is that every piece of legislation must contain a paragraph  detailing the foreseen harmful impacts of the legislation on all groups, not just on the target group.

I got the idea from reading Henry Hazlitt’s “Economics in One Lesson”, and W.E.B. Griffin’s  military historical fiction books in which he talks about a  military “dog-robber”  (general’s aide-de-camp). In one of Griffin’s books, the scenario is this: A general’s aide is briefing his replacement.  He tells the replacement ‘…when the general is talking to you, it is more important to listen to what he doesn’t say than what he does say.’

Now, every time I read something, I ask myself what is missing, not what is in front of me.

I have read many pieces of legislation and ask myself what is not being said.  Then I got the idea that legislation does not say what harmful effects it will cause, and that is a terrible omission.  

Known and foreseeable impacts of any legislation should be included. It is a severe flaw in the method that politicians use when they write legislation. The people should have the right to know what harm legislation will or is likely to cause, and they should not have to wade through thousands more pages of CBO guesses, which are based on the assumptions of the party that holds the chair of the committee that submits the bill, and should never be called bi-partisan.

Henry Hazlitt said (and this is the basis for the whole idea)
“Economics really means to look at BOTH the short term AND long term impacts of an act or policy AND being able to trace the impacts of the act or policy on ALL groups, not just one or two. ” [emphasis mine]

Why should this be limited to the study of economics?  The legislation itself has economic impacts, so it should tell us 1) the  foreseeable impacts, 2) good and bad, 3) on all groups 4) over the short and long term.  Since politicians write legislation as if it fixes something (which is not what laws do, but that’s another story), the politicians should be required to tell us  what the legislation is likely to break.  And approximately when.  All legislation has costs paid for by re-distributed wealth, so the people need to know that sooner or later their wallets and other aspects of their lives will be affected by any new law. Some will benefit and some will be harmed.  Some will be both harmed and benefitted.  For example, people think that if they earn more than minimum wage, they will not be impacted by a minimum wage increase, but we know this is not true.

The “Harmful Impacts” paragraph which I would require in each piece of legislation,  must explain the following: 

• The short and long term harmful impacts of the legislation.
• Who will be harmed in the short run and the long term?
• What form will the harmful effects take?
• When are the harmful impacts likely to be felt by each impacted group?
  The economics “ripple effect” ensures that there will be short and long term impacts that affect many people who are not directly targeted in the legislation.  Technically, the ripple effect can affect everyone in the world in some way].

Minimum Wage examples of  Harmful Impacts
Lets take a very simple example:  Minimum wage increases.

“The true minimum wage is Zero” – Thomas Sowell.

1.  A minimum wage increase law seems to tell us that people getting the minimum wage need to be helped. So we know who benefits (at least in the short term).
2. As we well know those laws never tell us who gets harmed, or when.  But there is harm done, even if not so easily identified:

• Unskilled, low educated, inexperienced people (including the poor) who have never worked are likely to be priced out of the job market. This not only keeps them from earning anything, but it also prevents them from getting experience, skills and workplace knowledge putting them behind many of their age group peers, and turning to illegal activities, including violent crime, becoming illegitimate parents, etc.    
• People who just got minimum wage jobs are likely to get fired first, when a minimum wage increase makes their labor services no longer unaffordable.
•  It is hard to prove that someone did not get a job because of the minimum wage increase, but it should be possible to get a study done asking companies for estimates of how many they will not hire when the minimum wage is increased and how many they will have to fire.
• The “Harmful Impacts Statement” in every piece of legislation will show people that money that is being used for harmful legislation could have been used by the private sector for other purposes, like job creation to provide knowledge, skills and experience to limit the time anyone needs to be on the lowest available wage level in the first place.
•  If you read this article, http://mises.org/daily/6665/How-SpecialInterest-Groups-Benefit-from-Minimum-Wage-Laws, you can see that the impacts of special interest groups (aka cronyism) on the economy are hidden and need to be exposed, as well. They cause reductions of competition and thus higher prices to consumers, and we are all consumers. 

 Warning Label

An additional warning label would be more of a disclaimer that there will be UNforeseen impacts that cannot be determined at the time the legislation becomes law. It could also say that one or more of the foreseen or unforeseen  problems can change at any time. It can also state that special interest groups will cause more harmful effects and that the public can only hold politicians responsible for harmful effects by making good voting choices.

No politician will accept anything that holds him responsible for anything.  So trying to make a politician responsible for his actions at other than voting time is a waste of time.  The people need to be made more aware that they (we)  are responsible when bad choices are made.

In summary, this long screed is really about alerting voters that legislation has harmful impacts as well as benefits.

It may even make some people aware that some legislation should not be passed (in fact most legislation should not be passed). 

 If people know that legislation has so many harmful effects, and that the benefits  are generally only short term, more people might read the legislation to see how hard they are likely to be hurt.  Conceivably, it could lead to less legislation.

If the people can learn to understand harmful effects, more Americans might wake up to how the politicians are harming them personally.

Next topic:  All laws should be complete in themselves and no law can be modified in any way after being signed into law except with the consent of congress. (that’s for another day…but I will say that if this were required now, it would probably have taken another 4-5 years to write Obamacare, which probably would not have been completed. We would have known what was in it before it was passed.

WELL DONE, HOWIE!!!

Namaste!

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Snowboarders:

I kinda saved part of last issue for this one.

I mentioned that San Fran Nan said that waiting for hours in an ER is a great way to meet new people.  Then it was mentioned that it is expected that many people will cut back their work hours so that they will make less money so that they will qualify for subsidies to pay for the health care.

(And for some reason the SRM or anyone else is not pointing out the insanity of that situation.)

But Nasty goes one step further. She who would do anything, stoop to the lowest denominator, say any lie or commit any crime to back up her boss, sees the cutting of hours as a good thing.

She actually said that cutting back your hours was a good thing, that you could be home for dinner, you can tuck your kids in, you’ll have more time for hobbies!  Gee, isn’t she swell!

Of course, she is leaving out the fact that while you will have more time to have dinner with the fam, tuck them in at night and work on your hobbies you will also have less money.

So, you might be having dinner with the fam… in the car before you tuck them into bed in the back seat.  That will give you time to work on your hobby of making sculptures out of gum’mint cheese.

“I’d like to get my cell phone tuned back on, please.”

“We will need you to be current on your bill, pay the disconnect/reconnect charge and a deposit. That will be $1285.69.  How would you like to pay for that?”

“I have a lovely sculpture of Mt. Rushmore done in a yellow dairy medium!”

But, while thousands upon thousands are cutting back hours in order to remain health-insured, the damage to the economy will be even greater in scope.

After all, if you are living hand to mouth, living with others, living in your car, you are not buying TVs, you are not going out to dinner, you are not headed to the cinema for the latest crap Hollyliberalwood is flogging.

Now, we can look at all the pelosi that is being foisted on us from all directions and throw up our hands and say “there is nothing we can do”, or worse, “it is not all that bad.”

Trust me, there are things we can do and it is worse than you think.

I am fond of Occam’s Razor so perhaps we shall employ it as a tool to get a deeper yet clearer look at what is going on in the Country.

As I have mentioned on a few occasions, the communist, Billy Boy De Blah-Zero was “elected” mayor of New Detroit City, formerly New York City.  I am not going to recite this guy’s commie’s (or his wife’s) bona fides again. If you do not want to take my word for it, feel free to look it up.  But suffice it to say, he is looking to do a lot of things to New Detroit that are like a microcosm of what Biff is doing to all of us.

To out this in perspective, he is so far to the Left that the Leftwing Jackwagon, Faccia Brutta, Jr says he is too far to the left. (It is so hard to pick here.   Like Biff and Stedman drowning, who do you root for?)

Anywho De BlahZero gave his state of the city address the other day.  Let’s look very briefly on some of his giant ideas and why they are all wrong.  ALL.

ISSUE:

He wants to raise the local minimum wage.  He claims it “will send a powerful signal…that we honor work and that we are committed to making work pay.”

LIE!

Again the percentage of adult “bread winners” earning minimum wage is under 5%.  The impact on the minority of people getting a substantial increase in wages will be more than offset by the loss of business resulting in less tax money coming in and more jobs lost due to labor costs.

WHY?

Because he is owned by unions and many unions base wage is tied to the minimum.  Ergo, raise the minimum and union workers get the same rise in wages.

ISSUE:

“We pledge to preserve or construct nearly 200,000 units of affordable housing – enough to house between 400,000 and 500,000 NY’ers – to help working people by literally putting a roof over their heads.”

LIE!

Two key phrases. First is an Alinsky trick made popular by Biff. “Preserve or construct”   and “Literally putting a roof over their heads.”

WHY?

The first phrase says nothing.  It does not say it is creating even one apartment when qualified by “preserving” them.  Like Biff “created or saved 8,000,000 jobs.   And besides, there is no space left to build that many apartments in the City. The next infers that those near half of a million people are walking the streets at night, that they are living in the subways or park benches.  So, where are they Billy?  Ohhhh…. They are in the currently to be preserved apartments?

ISSUE:

Wants to roll out a universal Pre-K and after-school program by taxing the “rich.” (Income over $500k per year.)

WHY?

Because like any Commie knows from Marx that it is critical for Communism to expand by having a “village raise that child” by getting the kid away from the influence of his parents as young as possible.

LIE!

First off, NYC canNOT unilaterally assess a tax on a particular group, income bracket in this case, without approval of the State Legislature.  Second, Faccia Brutta Jr has his own plan and funding for these efforts.  Billy just wants the control over the agenda.

ISSUE:

Wants to issue ID cards to all residents irrespective of immigrant status.

WHY?

Wants to appeal to all the Los Illegals to make them feel at home, like they have rights and most of all to insure they vote D. Just pimping the illegals.

LIE!

Virtually impossible to enforce.  As Her Thighness might say “What difference does it make?”  You see, you are dealing with lawbreakers, does he think they are going to listen to his law because he is in solidarity with them?  And what happens to a guy or gal who works in the City but lives in the ‘burbs?  Can he make them get ID’s so they can work?

But all of that aside, if you want to know the most troubling, most dangerous thing this idiot has said, it has to do with his “feud“ with Faccia Brutta, Jr.

He claims that he is 100% within his “rights” to demand certain autonomy for New York City with respect to the State.  His assertion is that “States and the Federal gov’t have issues all the time!”

Yes, genius, THEY do, YOU don’t.

Why?  Well that piece of paper with which you are unfamiliar called the Constitution, specifically the 9^th and 10^th Amendments.

Of course that Biff, Stedman and the rest routinely ignore the Law of the Land except when it is politically expedient to misinterpret it.  (SEE VERY BELOW FOR AN EXPANSION OF THAT IDEA.)

So the lesson here is that the Left do not give a big rat’s patoot abut the law.  And each succeeding “generation” of Lefty goes a step further.

BJ Clinton, at the time, would have been considered a progressive, Al Gore was just bat-pelosi crazy, with WTLF being one unfamiliar with the truth and a socialist.  Then comes Biff who is a stone cold Marxist.

And that brings us to Billy Boy De BlahZero and his particular flavor of Communism. I guess next step is to reanimate Lenin, but candidly, he would be disgusted with today’s commies.

De BlahZero and his ilk have no respect for the law as far as I can see and are as big of hypocrites as they are dangers of freedom.

Again, Billy Boy wants to get rid of the Central Park Horse Carriages, ignoring the fact he has no plans for the welfare of the poor animals but he has a big campaign donor who is interested in the land the stable is on…

More to come kids…

EXPIATION:  Not to beat a dead horse or angravate any one but for some reason Liberals can find all sorts of things in the 14^th Amendment that are not there, such as abortion, but canNOT  see that we have the right to bear arms which is specifically promoted in the 2^nd Amendment.  They are also a little confused when it comes to equal protection under the law when they extend extraordinary rights to groups such as homosexuals and illegals.  And on that track, be careful about the 1^st Amendment while you are at it.  THEY can say things because they have the Freedom of Speech YOU don’t, because using the exact same words is “hate speech” coming from the Right.

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Downhill Racers:

As I have said many times over the years, I love sports.  All kinds of sports.   You name it, I like or love it, except the NBA.  (Although, one of my faves is college basketball.)

The, now bi-annual, Olympics are like a cake store to a fat kid,  and I am the kind of guy who would pull up a chair to a sports smorgasbord.

Other than skiing, I have not participated in any winter sports but that does not mean I cannot enjoy them.  And from what I have heard from some of you, we are all watching this together.

Now, I am going to try to tie this together by the end, but first, some lies from your fave gum’mint…

Let’s look back wistfully when inane perorations came off little more than criminality in politics.  Recall when San Fran lied that “You have to vote for it to see what is in it”, referring to the now Anticonstitutional OBAMAS OBAMACARE?  Those were kinder, gentler times.

But I posit that Nasty herself is due for a checkup for her mental faculties as she is going further and further off of the deep end.   (Now, I say that will all sincerity but little sympathy.  I honestly believe that she is mentally deficient.  To be fair and candid she would not be the first MOC or Supreme so suffer so.  To be fairer and more candid, if you look at her CD, she may be considered MENSA material in contradistinction to her electors.)

The bloom started to come off the rose as it had to be admitted that OBAMA’S OBAMACARE seemed to be losing wheel after wheel, and people were losing their health care, and that the new plans in many cases assigned people to different doctors (and often without notice), and that emergency facilities were becoming over-crowded with interminable waits, and so on.

What does the Maladministration do? Do they admit their mistake? Do they demand that the entire clusterfluke be scrapped and start from square one?  Do they issue a stay of execution on the populace?

No!  They trot out the CHRISTmas Tree light bulb of brightness and have this oxygen thief Pelosi lie to us again. Getting more and more like Katherine Hepburn every day (one of the reasons I really am trying to be kind to her) she had the gonadature to say “Long waits at the emergency rooms are good things! You will have the opportunity to meet new people!”

Let that sink in for a minute.

Ok, let’s put that in perspective.  You are having a heart attack.  You rush to an ER but are forced to take a pew in the waiting area. Gang banger after gang banger are having their GSWs tended to, but you clutch your chest.

But, don’t be a wet blanket!  Take the time to wheeze to the person next to you how thankful you are that our Feckless Leader has not closed the Catholic Hospitals… yet. It is an “opportunity to make new friends!”  Yes, she actually said that.

You get the picture.

Now, just in case you thought that most of your fellow Americans were not idiots, here comes the next crock of pelosi.

And in typical Orwellian double-speak, on the one hand Biff is crowing about all the jobs he has created (when in reality we are down millions) and on the other he is saying that peeps need to re-think their “full time status.”

Even Biff has a hard time with this lie that he has to trot out that mouth-breather Nasty Pelosi.

Pimping on the fact that a lot of people are going to cut back on their hours so they qualify for assistance for health care.

(Please do not make me explain again that this Marxist is driving us into Communism.  We are now getting all excited to get something less than we had before for more money and far more restrictions.  How long before the idiots come to realize that?)

Having over 50% of the population getting some kind of assistance is not enough.  Having more people in poverty then in any time in generations is not their only goal.

Despite the pleas and threats to raise the minimum wage (of course he means none of it), Biff is paving the way for fungibility of employees.

If you are willing to work fewer hours in order to get previously unneeded health care subsidies, then you have proved to your employer exactly how “valuable” you are to him or her.  And  IMHBAO, anyone who does that has not been listening to voices of reason, the alarms and more and are playing right into Biff’s hands.

This topic demands far more discussion and indeed it will receive it.  But I know someone is going to question my use of the word “unconstitutional.”

No, I am not a lawyer, Constitutional or otherwise.  But I can read.

Let’s assume for a moment that OBAMA’S OBAMACARE was passed legally, a point that many legal scholars and peeps far, far brighter than I have posited otherwise.  Ok, it is a “law.” The only place a law can be made or modified is in the House.

I have lost count how many times Biff has unilaterally changed or modified OBAMA’S OBAMACARE.

He has moved dates, excluded certain groups and unions, targeted other groups and religions and as recently as the past few days changed the percentages of people corporations of a certain size must have enrolled and a new (?) tax on health club memberships. (Which in my eye seems counterintuitive.)

Where is all this leading? 

Well, for openers there will be much more on Biff’s antics.  But do let’s turn our attention to what is not getting attention, that being the politics of the Olympics.

The Olympics have always been some kind of political thing almost from the outset.  Hitler raised that to an art form back in ‘36 and thank God for Jesse Owens for winning four gold medals at that event, showing up the host.

This year is no different.

First off Biff and Vlad are two people who do not like each other.  (Much like Biff and any Right-leaning, or gun-owning, or religious, or Constitutional American.) And Biff has no problem at all tweaking Vlad from afar.

The Russians have all but outlawed homosexuality, one of the sacraments of Liberalism.  So, what does Biff do for the US Delegation?  Does he go himself?  Er, Might be tricky.  Does he send Mooch?  Er, no, and my guess is that she said “nyet” to being there.  Does he send JoeBama?  Er, that loose cannon would never get past the ring of steel.

So he sends Billy Jean King and Brian Boitano, both openly gay, to represent.  When King’s mother took ill and died precluding her appearance, Biff sent in her stead the lovely and talented and now outed Janet From Another Planet Napolitano.  (Connect the dots, will ya?)

Now, before the opening ceremonies, Biff sat down with a Bob Costa who seemed to be trying to redeem himself for some of his recent less than clever comments.

I am not sure what time this was taped or if it was live. But Biff looked, er, er, er, tired.  Some have suggested that he may have imbibed in something, but there is no proof but his droopy eyes and curious thought process.

These two yucked it up for a bit, mentioning the King/Napolitano trade, did not talk about  the civil war next door in the Ukraine (where we are sticking our nose to tick off Vlad.)

Then the topic turned to US-Russian relations and Costa made the comment about the reset button  and that it appeared that Vlad was doing all the heavy lifting. 

That perked up Biff who slobbered through a litany of things for which he is willing to take credit. For some reason his body language did not comport with his words.

Then Costa intimated that things were “icy” between Biff and Vlad.  Well, that woke Biff up.  He took that as a challenge and said that while there is perception that Vlad is a “tough guy”, that is all for show back home. Then he added that they have difficult and strong discussions  but sometimes there are jokes and good humor and that there is mutual “respect.”

The last two points were contradicted by body language and particularly with Biff’s eye contact.  Then again, perhaps he was just tired.

The rest is just window dressing and no need to address it any further.  The point is that there is a systematic scheme to deceive the American people that has been going on for some six years now.  Add to that the imperiousness of Biff’s contempt for the law and you have a recipe for disaster, one that will require and receive further comment.

GO USA!

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Abettors:

I have a friend.  You know him, or of him and some of his chums.  I have posted some of the more insane tete-a-tetes I have had with him, mostly by his pinions from Facebook, and so on.

As I said, “Bill” is a good guy under it all.  He was a union worker his entire working life and was a shop steward as well.

For the greater part, Bill does get it and is willing to discuss things rationally except when it comes to business.

He hates corporations.

Now, Bill makes two grievous errors.  He assumes I love corporations and he keeps saying that I hate Biff.

Neither is true.

I am unable to hate anyone.   I try not to and pray for strength.  If I can sit here and tell you that I do not hate Biff, then I can NOT hate anyone.

Now, as far as corporations are concerned, like anything else, there are good ones and there are bad ones.  (Will discuss some of them later on.)

To paint with an extremely broad brush, some one hundred and forty families control close to one-half of all the wealth in the world.  We have had this discussion before.

But that is not important except as background.

I would venture that at least one person from each of those families have some involvement with one or more of the “Clubs.”

And that is where the peril lies.

Say what you want about this company or that one.  There are conversations, talks, mergers, territories, products and more being discussed in the board booms with the C-Level execs but when the rubber meets the road, Erinco Gasolini rings up Major Sir Reginald Fissionchips and the deal gets done.

Over and over again, all over the world.  Opps, there goes another deal right under our noses.

But you see none of us really know what is going on. But at least we know something is and if we do not know the names of the players, we at least know what team they are on.

And it is rarely ours.

But we are smart enough to know that we are smart enough to know that we do not know jack.

Now, enter some union guy.  (This is not a smack on all unions, just the socialist ones and there is a point that of course is further down line.)  All he knows is that the union tells him.  (Again, not all union guys, just those with this mindset.)

You know the type.  The guy who would rather go on strike to make a point, to show “management.”  The type of who winds up upside down when the strike has settled gets his “raise” (and in this day and age, gets to keep his job.)

But, the union stuck up for the little guy and they beat the bad corporation and who cares how much money he lost, right?

Here, go pay your mortgage with your principles.

No, I am not saying to give in.  Look what has happened over the past six years.  What I am saying you pick your fights, ones that mean something at the end of the day.

But, I digress.  Shock.  Yeah, I know.

You see, Bill thinks he knows everything about business.  And to be fair, he and his type do not know the first thing.  They have no idea about profit and loss, except the C-Levels make too much money.  They have no idea about staffing levels, except they need more guys to pay union dues.  They have no idea about minimum wages except that their wages go up if the minimum does.  But they not think about the repercussions of pricing themselves out of a job.  (Really, $74 per hour to wave a flag at a worksite, like reported in NEWSDAY recently.)

But, at the end of the day, he and his ilk are tools for those they tilt at so many windmills.  Tools for the likes of Hoffa and Trumka who have not picked up a tool or put in shift for years or, ever.  Who make as much as C-Level dudes and are not living in rent controlled apartments.

But, let’s get to the point.  (Yes, wise guy, there IS one!)

For reasons which will become patently obvious, there is no formal list of not just the previous professions of MOCs but if they ever actually worked at it at all.

Let’s pick a name at random.  Oh, here we go Senator Chuck Schemer.  Lemme read this quick…  hmmm…  oh?… hmmmmmm? Really…  Hmmmm…

OK, Schemer was graduated from Harvard Law in 1974, took and passed the NY Bar Exam in 1975 and went to work for…

…We the Lucky People!

He was a state assemblyman from 1975 to 1980, then he was a Congressman from 1981 to 1999 then won a Senate seat in 1998 where he has been annoying the world ever since.

So, Chuck has been “serving” we the people in various levels of gov’t. but did anyone notice anything?

That is correct!  He has NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HIS LIFE IN A REAL JOB!!!

Here is a guy who is on the Senate Rules Committee, Judiciary Committee, Finance Committee and Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.

Look very closely at his CV.

Ok, he is a lawyer, so, sure, the Judiciary Committee is a fit.  Senate Rules?  Er, seriously, are there any we can understand or that canNOT be twisted by Dingy Harry?  So, being the good solder, selling what is left of his soul for a few farthings, sure, why not.

Banking? Finance? Housing and Urban Affairs?

Er, no

But, you see Schemer raises a lot of money, LOTS of money, for himself and for the Democrat cartel.

He received more money from Securities and Investment types than anyone else (what WE call “Wall Street” and what the Left calls “The One-Percenters.”)  Nope, you can’t make this up.) In fact, over 75% of his PAC money comes from “Business.”

Oh sure he gets money from other sources, such as real estate, entertainment, insurance and others.  And, he does get money from the “little guy” and as much as 2% of his contributions some from small donors.  Hence, “little guy.”  (See link at bottom.)

Oh, something to chew on, he is also the top recipient of cash from hospitals and nursing homes.  So, you can see why he is sooooooo interested in our health and well-being. And OBAMA’S OBAMACARE.

I’d like to tell you his wealth but it is hard to say as it is hard to get a good read on his REAL value.  In some reports, his listed wealth is between $500,000 to just under a cool mil.   On some other “less official” documents, he was too shy to admit.

Yet, he is not alone.

Sen. Frankenfeinstein is in the Top 10 in Congress.  I am not sure if that reflects the sweetheart deal her hubby got by buying surplused gov’t buildings, if that has already occurred.

Speaking of hubbies, also in the Top 10 is none other than San Fran Nan herself. She of the one who cares for the environment of America soooooo much, that she has voted against any kind of drilling or licensing for oil, natural gas or anything else her hubby’s company can extract the same in the Middle East without an environmental concern.  She is on the House Appropriations Committee (fox in charge of the hen house) and most likely as a joke, on the Intelligence Committee (her website is a wee bit light on specifics.)

Sure we can add more and I am sure there is a Republican or two who are not above reproach.  But it seems that the Democrats have made into a cottage industry professing about things for which they have no knowledge and even less expertise.  And mostly to our detriment.

Some do it for personal gain, others for power, others still to advance an agenda or ideology.

And then there are some who do it just for sport.

They just hate America.

How can we tell which ones hate America?

Easy! They are the ones who are so busy telling us how much he or she loves the Country and all of her citizens.

But, don’t you dare challenge their “patriotism”, they will look at you and lie and speak honeyed words.  And like Queen Gertrude in Hamlet you would be spot on by saying “methinks the lady doth protest too much.”

So, I am putting the cart before the horse when I say we need a top to bottom revamping of all the congressional committees, who is eligible to be on them and an exclusion of any who accepts  corporate money.

See, Bill, we have some stuff in common…

More to come… much more…

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Neville Brothers:

I think this should wrap it up…

Let’s look at a few things.

When Biff was running for the nomination virtually everything he said was either provably untrue or a platitude with the odd bit of truth to throw you off the scent.

One of the very few bits of truth spaketh by Biff was the infamous (paraphrased): “America is the greatest Country in the world and we are going to fundamentally change it.”

And, for better worse or worst, he is not done yet.

We already know about Biff, Mooch-747 and the rest of his pinions, let’s look at something on a more local level yet equally diabolical.

The Communist Billy Boy Di Blasio was elected for Lord knows what reason why.  He is prolly as qualified to hold his job as Biff is to hold his.  Bear in mind that while he received something like 75% of the votes cast, less than 20%  eligible voters exercised that right. So, 75% of 20% is not exactly a mandate.

One of the major planks this plank ran on was “universal pre-K for all kids to be paid for by a tax on the rich.”

He could have run on a platform of free mandatory kicks in the groin for everyone to be paid for by a tax on the rich with the same results, as the number of folks positively impacted is not enough to get him elected dog catcher in his district.  But that is not the point.

(Billy Boy derisively calls his home town “A Tale of Two Cities.” Those being the rich and the poor.  To be fair, while there is a large and vibrant middle-class in New Detroit City.  In Manhattan, however, the middle-class is a guy named Murray who runs a dry-cleaning establishment and is the only renter in New Detroit City not in a rent controlled apartment.) (“Rent Control” is a story for another day.)

He promised additionally that he would make sure that all parts of the city were treated equally.

Proof that God has a Sense of Humor, He sent a snow storm to New Detroit the day after Billy Boy’s inauguration and another a few weeks later.

He almost sorta acquitted himself during the first one. There were some snafus but all in all not a bad first time out.  However, proving that he was just a regular Joe (Stalin), he was out there shoveling his walk.  And throwing the snow into the street.  Which is against the law. But, he got a pass even though his “crime” was caught on camera.

(When asked why he was doing the shoveling when he has a young son, Dante, Billy Boy inadvertently confirmed a stereotype by saying that he was sleeping.   A few hours later, Photo Op Dante was seen shoveling the already shoveled walkway, without a hat.  No hat is the tip-off that it was a photo up.  One might think it was the re-shoveling but that would be wrong.  It is in the DNA of those of the Left to have people to useless, repetitive, unneeded or redundant tasks.)

But he got a pass on the first one.  However, on the second snow storm he did not do as well.

You see, while most of the City was plowed and plowed again, the upper East Side and Staten Island were decidedly less so.  When Billy Boy chirped that the streets were in great shape, the phones started ringing predicating Billy Boy taking a trip uptown where it was taking up to an hour to go one block.

If you are familiar with New Detroit City, then you know most of the money in the City lives in the Upper East Side at night.  While it is not as far left as the Upper West Side, it is still very liberal over all. But these are the people that Billy Boy aims to soak to pay for his universal pre-K plan.

But why Staten Island?  Well, Staten Island is one of those predominantly middle-class areas.  Oh, and mostly Republican and the only Borough Billy Boy did not win.  So, this was a
“stink eye” to them.

Let’s discuss the universal pre-K.  First of all, it is a crock.  The people most likely to benefit do not really need it.  They are largely the inner-city folks, many (ahem) of them have no set “schedule”, if you get my drift.

So, why have universal pre-K?

As Her Thighness said some years back “it takes a village to raise a child.”  And while that sounds all nice and groovy, that harks back to the “Communist Manifesto” where it is admonished that the quicker kids are taken from their families, the quicker they can be brainwashed.

And recall, Billy Boy and Mrs. Billy Boy ARE Communists.

(Do the math, one starts First Grade at five or six years old. Which means Kindergarten at four or five. Which means pre-K at three or four.  Where were you at three years old?)

Now, enter Gov. Facia Brute, Jr..

Let me link these two reprobates then a quick work on Facia Brute.

Cuomo said that there is money for universal pre-K and added that the city cannot raise a tax without the State’s approval.  He then biotch-slapped Billy Boy by calling his desire to soak the rich “a tax looking for something to fund.”
Before you think that Cuomo is anything but a Lefty poppa oscar sierra, consider this:  there is already a millionaire tax surcharge in New Detroit City, and Cuomo, who has his jaundiced eye on Biff’s job in 2016 and re-election this year gets a huge percentage of his campaign backing from the same rich that Billy Boy wants to tax.

So, who is to say that these two longtime friends are not working in some kind of collusion playing both sides for their own benefit?

Now, to Facia Bruta.

He is divorced from Kerry Kennedy (yes one of THOSE Kennedy’s and the one awaiting trial on some silly thing like driving under the influence of drugs and having an accident or something) and a supporter of infanticide.  Yet, he still considers himself a “Catholic” and yet, he is not refused Communion.  Hmmmm…

A few weeks back, Cuomo said (paraphrasing) “If you do not support a woman’s right to choose, you support guns and do not embrace gay ‘marriage’ then there is no place for you in New York.”

I am sure this came as a big surprise to Cardinal Dolan and all people of faith.

Of course, he tried to walk it back by inferring that he really was referring to the Tea Party.  Oh, that makes all the difference in the world!

“Governor, I am pro-Life, I am pro-Gun and I am against gay marriage!”

“You have to leave New York NOW!!!!!!”

“But, Governor, I am not in the Tea Party.”

“That’s different, you can stay!”

Ya think?  Neither do I!  His lame explanation was a lie of everestal proportions and worthy of being uttered by Sideshow Carney.

Let’s clarify for a moment, let’s employ Occam’s Razor.  Let’s leave out infanticide for a moment as it is legal for the time being.  Let’s put aside the gay thing as it is not universal and only in a few states.  Let’s look at the cream filling of that particular Oreo.  “…If you support guns… there is no place for you in New York.”

Er, Sparky, that is part of the Constitution.  Roe and Lawrence are new kids on the block compared to the Constitution.  And damning someone for accepting as law something in the Constitution is borderline treasonous.

No big deal you say, you don’t have a gun you say, you don’t want a gun in your house you say.

I tell you what, I am fine with that.  However, I do not want you to speak, write or anything I find offensive, and to compound that, I will not tell you what I find offensive.  So, you canNOT speak, write, tweet, whatever.

“You can’t tell me that! I have rights, you know!”

Where? In the Constitution?  The same one where you don’t believe in the 2^nd Amendment?  If you don’t like the 2^nd, I won’t let you have the 1^st.  And I will give both rights back to  you when you pull your head out and apologize to America.  (Of course, that is all editorializing, I am sure no one here feels like the Constitution is a buffet.)

So, let’s recap.  Biff got elected on the basis of his skin tone.  I am not being racist but factual.  A White man, even a Liberal White man would not have gotten elected on his agenda and if so would not have been re-elected.

The table is set.  White people of all colors are afraid of saying anything because Biffs goons, from the streets to the boardrooms are quick to throw the race card.

Now, that we are punch-drunk from being called racists, we let this scoundrel get away with far more than is in the Constitution.  Then there are these other a’hats in various elected positions who say “Gee, that looks like fun!” and they do the same thing and by now, we are too stupid to realize the guy is White.

Then the next step, and an avowed Communist is elected Mayor of the most important city in the world, and hardly anyone votes, except for those who want something.

Now, add a fake fight and we are distracted and asked to take sides between a Commie and a Socialist.  “Gee… whoever shall I choose???”

Like said in “My Cousin Vinny” “That is a BS question.”

Rather than picking sides between Facia Bruta and Billy Boy, you should be figgering out who to run for governor this year.

And Congressman.

And Senator (if applicable in your state.)

And all the local guys and gals.

THIS is our last chance.  We canNOT afford to wait till 2016.  We must emasculate and eviscerate the Liberals and RINOS NOW!

Make it so.

(Hope it was worth all that.)

Genesis 3:19

My Friends and Fellow Neville Brothers:

OK, where were we… when we last met of I posited:

“Not when you consider that the likes of David Rockefeller picked this post turtle for the gig.

“But, that is not the whole story.

“Just like the first socialist president, Wilson, was the nominal president with the day to day business controlled by ‘Colonel’ House who was on the payroll of and took orders from the House of Morgan, so, too, is Biff little more than a figure head.”

Look at what the cat dragged in.  He has an AG whose law firm represents not just terrorists, but terrorists in GITMO. He has a Secretary of Energy who hates energy, a Secretary of Health and Human Services who supports infanticide and so on and so forth.

So, when you vote in someone, look at who they hang out with, a’cause he or she is bringing them to the prom.

Now, growing up we were all influenced one way or another or both by our peers and elders.  We learned how to be polite, or cuss like a sailor. We learned how to change a tire or steal a car, depending. But the bottom is that we are the sum of our parts and we have a tendency to hang out with those more like us than those who are not.

So when you see a creatchure like Biff, and if you spent five minutes vetting him (which would be about five minutes longer than the SRM did), you would have seen that he was an Alinski-ite Marxist. And I tried to warn the masses.  (And I will remind you again about the Castro Brothers in Texas.  Wait for it.)

When you see your older brother or sister smoking, you will want to smoke.  If you see your older brother or sister studying, getting a part time job or volunteering, the chances are you will do the same.

Increase that orders of magnitude and now you have possibly the least qualified person to hold the job er, “leading” the Country.

And he brings with him a coterie of similar losers.

But there few things worse than having a bad habit and those are being a bad example and lying about it.

“But, mom, Jimmy smokes!”

“Billy, Jimmy is nineteen years old!  You are seven!”

But as bad as that is consider this:

“Here Billy, smoke this!”

“Thanks, Jimmy! You are the bestest brother ever!”

“Billy, were you smoking?”

“Yes, mom.”

“And where did you get the cigarette?”

“Jimmy gave it to me.”

“JIMMY!!!!!!!”

“Yes, mom.”

“Did you give Billy a cigarette?”

“No, I would never… he is seven years old!”
What we have here is president Jimmy.

Now, it is bad enough, trust me it is bad enough, he brought all the smokers and drinkers and puffers and playas from the corner and the ‘hood to work against America, I mean, work for him.  But he has been handing out smokes and blunts and 40’s to Billy Boy, Facia Bruta  and SheJack, the Castro Brothers, and most any other progressive, liberal, Marxist, Socialist, Communist or other assorted anti-American.

Not that I think it makes a difference, but not that many years ago a White man running for Mayor of “New Detroit” or any major city would not have a wife who was black, a lesbian, a Marxist, or activist and certainly not one who hit for the cycle.

But that did not stop Billy Boy from trotting out his Trotskyite.

(Of course, there is also his daughter’s drug use and Lord knows what secrets Link harbors.  And as a rule I do not pick on politicians kids, unless their parents pimp them first. And once one gives you that ghetto head shake, all bets are off.)

Then after screwing the snow pooches his first two chances up to bat, we come to learn that Mrs. Billy Boy wants a job in her hubby’s administration.  She does not care what it is, she is equally “qualified” for them all. That being not at all for any of them.

And when did we first start seeing unqualified wimmens looking for big gigs in gov’t?

Could it be Martha Washington?  No!

(… fast forward through the next thirty-eight Presidents, recall Cleveland was a non-sequential President…)

Could it be Barbara Bush?  No!

Could it be Hillaroo?  Ding, ding, ding, we have a “winner!”

Could it also be Laura Bush? No!

Could it also be Mooch-747?  Ding, ding, ding, we have another “winner.”

(To be fair, Mooch-747 might fill a position where ones “voluntarily retuning ones law license” might be a prerequisite.)

So, riddle me this, what is the romance that Liberal, Socialist or Commie wimmens have with having some kind of paid position in their hubbies’ administrations?

(To be fair, Hillaroo had a reason to be close, to be able to keep an eye on BJ.  To be fair, BJ prolly had good reason to stalk some, er, “interesting” wimmens.  I mean as much as I try to follow the 10 Commandments, BJ would be absolved with no questions asked if he begged forgiveness.)

Now there is no comparison with what the Republican First Ladies did, in fact even most of the Democrat ones.  Jackie Kennedy and Lady Bird both had taken on other positive interests within the scope of First Ladying.

But it was not until the (thusfar) unindicted Hillaroo who wanted a big job (little did we know two decades ago what her true aim was), then there is the oxygen thief Mooch-747 who thinks she should be paid for taking multi-million dollar vacation after multi-million dollar vacation.

If you look at both of these “wimmens” work “history” there is little for which be proud of and they can HONESTLY say they did 100% er, 50%, er .5% on their own.

Now comes Billy Boy’s shorty and she wants some kind of governmental welfare.  Trust me, if there was something she could do, someone is already doing it.  Other than organizing and angravating.

(And I think her major attribute is being Billy Boys beard as well.)

Funny, really, these three socialist/communist wimmens who WANT something for nothing.  What happened to “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need?”

Trust me, their abilities for honest contribution is scant and they cash in far more than their need.  But, what difference does it make?  Yet more examples of Liberal hypocrisy.

OK, I have done it again…  I do so want to get to Facia Bruta and Billy Boy and it is important that I do. But it was equally important to set the table for his clowns.

You see, it is not just the Liberal/Marxist/Socialist we elect but the Joe Franklin panel of assorted leeches, hangers on and ne’er-do-wells with which they come.

Now, add to that their closest people, their spouses, and see they are particularly disposed to aiding and abetting their hubby destroy the city, state Country or world as long as they are fat and happy.

Soon come Part 4 and with hope that is the last installment of this topic.

Biff will deliver his “State of the Union Address” tonight.  In case you are too busy to watch it as you are attending to more important issues such as sorting your sock drawer or polishing the garage floor I am sure I am not letting the cat out of the bag with the following.

Biff will tell us what a great job he is doing.  He will say things are moving along on time and on schedule.  He will update us on the great strides OBAMA’S OBAMACARE is making.  He will tell us of the great work he is doing creating and saving jobs.  When the Pelosi starts to get too thick, he will point out some peeps in the audience who were hand-picked and coached.  He will tell us of the amazing things they did and or their heartbreaking trials and tribulations that they overcame with the underlying message that he had something to do with their now good fortunes. (The racial makeup of the pimped will not accurately reflect the actual percentages.)

Then, after he tells is what a great job he thinks everyone thinks he is doing and then cures the sick and commands the lame to walk so that all will look at him in amazement and wonder, THEN he will drop the hammer and tell us that he is not getting the cooperation he needs from Congress to finish us off, I mean, finish the job that we ALL want him to do and he will outline how he will circumvent the Constitution to achieve his pernicious goal.

(If I score less than 80% accuracy on my take of the SOTU address, I will provide the next ten issues to you at no charge.)

(I said that to see if you are paying attention and that is what you will need to weed through the Pelosi coming your way later tonight.)
