Hi,
Interesting week. It would appear Eric Holder DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF TRANSPARENCY or HE considers his duties as head of the 'JUSTICE"? DEPARTMENT ABOVE ALL THAT NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ON MAY 30, HOLDER HELD A "SECRET" NEWS CONFERENCE TO EXPLAIN THE PREVIOUSLY "SECRET" INVESTIGATION by his staff OF PHONE RECORDS AND EMAIL RECORDS OF FOX NEWS AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. THEY WERE SUBJECT TO THE SEIZURE OF THEIR RECORDS WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. THE ORDER FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION INCLUDED POINTING TO JAMES ROSEN "AS A POTENTIAL CRIMINAL CO-CONSPIRATOR UNDER AN ESPIONAGE LAW" and that meant POSSIBLE ARREST as an ENEMY of the United States FOR DOING HIS JOB AS A REPORTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Rosen was acting in his capacity AS A REPORTER WHEN HOLDER'S DEPUTY, JAMES COLE AUTHORIZED THE SEIZURE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHONE RECORDS OF ROSEN AND AT LEAST SEVEN STAFF MEMBERS AND ROSEN'S PARENTS. HOLDER ALSO AUTHORIZED THE SEARCHES OF FOX NEWS RECORDS. IT APPEARS THAT JUSTICE DEPARTMENT GUIDELINES CURRENTLY ALLOW OPEN SEARCHES UNDER RARE CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN PROVIDING NOTICE TO THE AGENCY AFFECTED. THIS WAS NOT DONE !!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS COVERT. A WORD MR. HOLDER EVIDENTLY DOES UNDERSTAND WELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, all the publicity released by the Justice Department TRIED TO EXCUSE the action as an act protecting the fight against al-Qaida. A fight publicized RECENTLY by the Administration as MOSTLY OVER and against a much diminished and weakened al-Qaida. The administration claims it needed to protect "critical intelligence" in EXAMINING press files to fight this SUDDENLY FORMIDABLE ENEMY. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS MR. PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!! EITHER YOU'RE QUELLING al-Qaida TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT'S NO LONGER A SUPREME THREAT OR YOU HAVE TO INTRUDE ON FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AND AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S FREEDOMS TO QUELL IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE A CASE HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!! GET REAL PUH.............LEEZE.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WASHINGTON THOU SPEAKETH WITH FORKED TONGUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVER WONDER WHY THE APPOINTMENTS OF THE PRESIDENT TO HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT ?????????????? ABOVE EXAMPLE ONE!!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE NEWS AGENCIES WHO REFUSED TO MEET WITH U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER IN A SECRET..............."OFF THE RECORD"..............SECRET MEETING (NOT TRANSPARENT) ON MAY 30TH. JAMES WARREN, BUREAU CHIEF OF THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, REASONED THAT "HOLDER AND HIS STAFF SEEMED BOUND FOR "AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL FORAY, TO FIND OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THEY SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE WAY WE (PRESS) ALL OPERATE ON A DAILY BASIS." AND CALLED THE MEETING "AN OPENING GAMBIT".
HOLDER SEEMS TO BE MAKING MATTERS WORSE ?????????? WELL, THINK OF THIS SCANDAL AS ANOTHER CASE OF THE COMMUNIST THINKING OF 'NOT LETTING ANY CRISIS GO TO WASTE' ?????????????????????? INVESTIGATE A FREE AGENCY, WHEN THEY PROTEST OR GET SCARED, MAKE FRIENDS AND LET THEM TELL ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PUH.......LEEEEEEZE !!!!!!!!!!!!
News organization such as: Reuters, New York Times, New York Daily News, Associated Press, among others and TV's Fox, CBS, NBC, and CNN and the HUFFINGTON POST REFUSED TO ATTEND AN "OFF THE RECORD" MEETING. Those who did attend gave a report to the others THUS IGNORING THE 'OFF THE RECORD' SECRETIVE INJUNCTION.
HOLDER WAS GIVEN 45 DAYS BY THE ADMINISTRATION TO REVIEW JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATIVE RULES WHICH GO BACK BEYOND E-MAIL USAGE AND ARE PART OF THAT WASHINGTON HISTORY THAT RETAINS OUTDATED AND OUTMODED REGULATIONS SET UP IN ANOTHER ERA. CLEANING OUR WASHINGTON HOUSE SEEMS MOST IMPORTANT TO FREE UP THE CONSTITUTION TO DO ITS WORK. UNDER CONSTITUTIONAL TERMS, HOLDER AND THE WHOLE OBAMA STAFF WOULD BE COMING UNDER SURVEILLANCE AND TRIAL NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!
FOLKS WHEN WASHINGTON FEELS BOLD ENOUGH TO ATTACK CITIZENS INSTEAD OF ATTACKING THE SUPPOSED ENEMY, IT'S TIME TO GET AT THE PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT JUST TALK ABOUT THEM OR HAVE THE ADMINISTRATION DELIVER RHETORIC ABOUT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S TIME TO HOLD ACCOUNTABLE AN ADMINISTRATION THAT SEEMS MORE INVOLVED WITH AN ATTACK AGAINST FREEDOM THAN AN ATTACK AGAINST THOSE WHO OPPOSE FREEDOM. THESE PRESS INVASIONS AND THE RECENT IRS INVESTIGATION AGAINST THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD PROPEL EVERY VOTING CITIZENS INTO ACTION AGAINST THOSE WHO TREAT U.S. LAWS AS AN OBSTACLE TO OVERCOME or an inconvenience.
TELL ME HOW WE CAN JUSTIFY SENDING UNARMED, LOYAL AMERICANS TO OUR EMBASSY POSTS WHEN WE IN EFFECT REFUSE TO PROTECT THEM. THE DEATHS CAUSED IN LIBYA WOULD NOT BE TERMED "NECESSARY COLLATERAL DAMAGE" IN ANY AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION AS THE BOSTON PERP CALLED THOSE KILLED IN BOSTON. THAT'S SIMPLY INSANE THINKING. SANITY IS A TREASURE OF A FREE SOCIETY FOR THOSE WHO RECOGNISE THAT FREEDOM.
SANITY IS NOT: KILLING AMERICANS; OR ALLOWING THEM TO LIVE UNDER HOSTILE CONDITIONS WITHOUT ADEQUATE PROTECTION AND BE KILLED; USING OUR INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS A HOSTILE, INVESTIGATIVE BODY AGAINST OUR CITIZENS; SUBJECTING OUR PRESS (AND YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE THEIR BIAS) TO SECRET SCRUTINY AS IF THEY WERE AN ENEMY AGENT; AND LETTING THE ADMINISTRATION USE LITTLE REMEMBERED LAWS TO JUSTIFY ALL OF IT. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GIVE ME A BREAK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF THIS IS CHANGE, PRESIDENT OBAMA THEN I WANT THE OLD AMERICA BACK. THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION RESPECTS LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE DID YOU MISPLACE THAT AMERICA????????
GIVE IT BACK, MR. PRESIDENT. IT'S THE AMERICA RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING YOU PRESIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE NO MATTER WHAT YOUR "FRIENDS" TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! GET REAL, SIR!!!!!!!!!!! BEFORE YOUR" FRIENDS" CONSIDER YOU REPLACEABLE.
CHEERS, CONNIE

DRONE JUSTICE? OR FREEDOM FOR ALL? POST 158
Hi,
Latest slant on the Washington scandals is the FBI being ordered (by whom?????) to investigate a Fox News correspondent' emails for information that escaped from the State Department. The FBI not only scanned all the correspondent's emails but his parent' s as well!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my. What a jolly read and such good use of taxpayer's money.
PLEASE hear those THUNDERING BOOTS TRAMPLING OVER AMERICAN FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED TO THE TRANSPARENCY PROMISED ??????????????? BY OUR PRESIDENT ??????????????????
PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS HE HAS NO IDEA ALL THIS WAS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELL, I GUESS NOT. WHAT WITH ALL HIS NUMEROUS VACATIONS FROM WASHINGTON WITH AND WITHOUT THE FAMILY; HIS FREQUENT TRIPS ALL OVER THE U.S.A. TO CAMPAIGN AFTER THE ELECTION; AND HIS TRIPS ACROSS THE WORLD IN THE VERY COSTLY PRESIDENTIAL MANNER. HOW COULD HE KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON ??????????????? ESPECIALLY, SINCE HE HAS VALERIE JARRETT, HIS CHICAGO RIGHT HAND TO CONDUCT POLITICS THE SAME WAY THEY DO IN THAT BIG CITY.
YOUR ADVISORS AND CO-HORTS FORGOT TO TELL YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, A LARGE NUMBER OF THINGS, WHICH CAUSES YOU TO LOOK LIKE A PRIME GRADE LIAR ??????????? THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS:
"MR. PRESIDENT: THE BUCK STOPS WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!" GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHATEVER HAPPENS ON YOUR WATCH BECOMES YOUR FAULT FOR NOT OVERSEEING YOUR STAFF AND CZARS MORE CAREFULLY !!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE OVAL OFFICE EXCEPT FOR URGENT AFFAIRS OF STATE TO DO THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T HELP IT IF ALL THIS POLITICAL AND GROSS ACTIVITY BORES YOU BECAUSE YOU'VE SEE IT ALL BEFORE IN CHICAGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T HELP IT IF YOU FEEL YOUR TALENTS ARE WASTED BEING THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T HELP IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE OFFICE JOBS !!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN YOU WERE ELECTED--THE ELECTION STOOD FOR:
BEING IN CHARGE OF THE NATION'S WELFARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It did not stand for just BEING IN CHARGE OF YOUR FRIENDS, POLITICAL CRONIES, AND COMMUNIST BROTHERS' WELFARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!! PUH............LEEZE!!!!!!!!!!
THE ELECTION MEANT YOU WERE IN CHARGE OF EVERYONE'S RIGHTS AND WELFARE EVEN THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH YOUR PREMISES AND PLANS AND ATTITUDES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S WHAT OUR ELECTIONS STAND FOR IN AMERICA.
FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR ALL.
FREEDOM....................THE RIGHT TO DISAGREE WITH EVEN THE HOLIEST OF HOLIEST OF HOLIEST OPINIONS BY THE HOLIEST OF HOLIEST LEADERS !!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S HOW YOU GOT IN OFFICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DISAGREED AND YOU GOT YOURSELF ELECTED !!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DROLL !!!!!!!!!!! NOW EVIDENTLY YOU AND YOUR COHORTS ARE AFRAID TO EXTEND THAT FREEDOM TO OTHERS WHO DON'T AGREE WITH YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DROLL.
THIS INVASION OF PRIVACY BY GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE FBI
AND THE IRS SMACKS OF AN UNFAIR INVASION OF CITIZENS' RIGHTS LIKE THOSE TACTICS RAGED AGAINST IN IN HITLER'S GERMANY, STALIN'S RUSSIA AND MUSSOLINI'S ITALY IN WORLD WAR II. IT SEEMS NOTHING CHANGES EXCEPT THE NAMES OF THE PARTICIPANTS AND THE COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!!
IT OCCURS TO THIS BLOGGER THAT THIS IS THE KEY TO MOST OF AMERICA'S CURRENT PROBLEMS ????????????????? SAME OLD !!!!!!!!!!!!! SAME OLD ??????????? SOCIALIST, PROGRESSIVE, COMMUNIST CORRUPTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND CHICAGO POLITICS ON A NATIONAL SCALE !!!!!!!!!!!
As well as the President's proclaimed innocence, we have LOIS LERNER, LAWYER AND LONGTIME IRS OFFICIAL TAKING the FIFTH AMENDMENT as COMMUNISTS LEARNED TO DO IN THE McCarthy HEARINGS !!!!!!!!!! Mr. McCarthy, who evidently scared them bowel-less taught them that trick, unfortunately.
HEY, I HEAR TAKING "FIFTHS" IS HAPPENING ALL OVER OBAMA'S WASINGTON THIS WEEK. IT'S BEEN ENOUGH TO MAKE A WEAK MAN//WOMAN DRINK "FIFTHS"!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPEAKING OF WOMEN--WHY AREN'T WOMEN'S GROUPS COMING OUT AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON AND HER LIBYA DEBACLE WHICH YOU NOTICE HAS BEEN HIDDEN BEHIND THESE OTHER EVENTS; AND NANCY POLOSI AND HER TOTALLY HORRENDOUS HEALTH CARE BILL; or VALERIE JARRETT AND HER ADMITTED SOCIALIST BELIEFS AND CHICAGO POLITICS; AND NOW LOIS LERNER, REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AS AN IRS OFFICIAL. THEY ARE RAPIDLY RUINING THE REPUTATION OF WOMEN IN POLITICS. IS THIS WHAT FEMINISTS FOUGHT FOR ?????????? OR ARE SOME MEN PASSING THE BUCK ON DIRTY TRICKS ?????????
On top of all the other INFORMATION popping up through the SEWERS in Washington is the REMINDER that U.S. CITIZENS were KILLED IN DRONE STRIKES. Now it is true that these persons may have been enemy radicals but this blogger thought we had a trial system in AMERICA that CLAIMS you are INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY. THIS BLOGGER HAD NOT LEARNED THAT THE TRIAL SYSTEM HAD BEEN REPLACED BY 'DRONE JUSTICE' '!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T MISUNDERSTAND, THIS BLOGGER DOES NOT DISLIKE THE IDEA OF DRONE WARFARE WHERE MANY ARE SPARED AND FEW ARE KILLED. BUT THE FACT THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS NOT DEFINED AND PROTECTED AMERICAN CITIZENS FROM THE ARBITRARY USE OF DRONES AGAINST THEM IS UNBELIEVABLE. THIS IS AN EFFORT THAT CONGRESS MUST UNDERSTAND AND UNDERTAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEP !!!!!!!!!!!!! A 'FIFTH' IS TOTALLY NECESSARY TO GET THROUGH ALL THE LYING, SCHEMING, AND UNDER HANDED TACTICS COMING OUT OF WASHINGTON. MAYBE THAT'S HOW OBAMA HAS ESCAPED THE KNOWLEDGE OF CORRUPTION IN HIS ADMINISTRATION--HE'S TAKEN A 'FIFTH' MANY TIMES'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DANGER DOES NOT ALWAYS WEAR BRIGHT COLORS! post 157
Hi,
THE WEEK THAT WAS! Would have loved to hear Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett's vocal response to the PAYBACK SCANDAL THAT DEVELOPED THIS WEEK. This blogger reminds readers of the statement Valerie Jarrett made on election day that was reported to be something in this nature--when we win, it's payback time!
Guess she wasn't JUST WHISTLING DIXIE since the IRS became the instrument of revenge on the Tea Party and other known conservatives. Shades of Richard Nixon's resignation. Will they call for Obama's ????????????? Nothing like a good case of the "IRS TROTS" TO CURE DIARRHEA OF THE MOUTH AND THE CONSTIPATION THAT SEEMS TO BE BLOCKING OBAMA PLANS TO S--- THE UNITED STATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO YOU GET THE IDEA THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ????????????? OR FOR THAT MATTER IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ??????????????
Four scandals exposed in one week LEADS THIS BLOGGER TO BELIEVE THAT THE EVIDENCE IN THE LIBYA BENGHAZI SCANDAL IS DAMNING TO HILLARY AND STAFF AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY THE SCANDALS ???????????? WHAT BETTER WAY TO TAKE OUR COLLECTIVE MIND OFF THE DEATHS IN LIBYA BY ALLOWING ALL OF US TO SEE OTHER PROBLEMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY WAS THIS SCANDAL WITHHELD FROM THE PUBLIC BEFORE THE ELECTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh come on, you can guess this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS BLOGGER ALSO MADE NOTE THAT OBAMA IN HIS TALK DID NOT SAY AS PRESIDENT "THAT THE BUCK STOPS HERE" IN ACCEPTING THE BLAME ???????????
IF HE'S NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF HIS APPOINTED STAFF, WHO IS ??????????????
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER WAS THE COVERTLY ACQUIRED ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTERS' HOME PHONE AND CELL PHONE RECORDS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE UNDER ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER, A FAVORED OBAMA APPOINTEE. WHAT BETTER WAY TO DISTRACT THE PRESS FROM THE MOST DAMAGING ISSUE OF THE DAY ??????????? THE INVASION OF THE PRESS BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SERVED TWO PURPOSES NOT JUST THE IMMEDIATE DISTRACTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT ALSO GAINED A LIST OF ADMINISTRATION WHISTLE BLOWERS THAT COULD BE USED IN THE "IRS TROTS".
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS RIGHT THERE at the top of THE LIST OF OBAMA STAFF'S 'IMPERTINENT DOCUMENTS'.!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA DOES NOT THINK ANYTHING OR ANYONE SHOULD QUESTION HIS ACTIONS ESPECIALLY THE PRESS AND SURPRISINGLY THEY HAVE FOR THE MOST PART ACQUIESCED !!!!!!!!!!!! THAT GOOD OLD CONSTITUTION AGAIN PROTECTING THE PRESS DOES ALLOW FOR THAT.
BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT THAT NICE OLD ACQUIESCING PRESS HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY OUR GOVERNMENT SNOOPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHAME, SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR APPOINTEE, MR. PRESIDENT BECAUSE THE BUCK DOES STOP WITH YOU !!!!!!!!!!! THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT ALLOW THAT SNOOPING ON OUR CITIZENS !!!!!!!!!!!! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MAY BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE A CONSTITUTION AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT--EVEN GOD WILLING--THE PRESS WILL UNDERSTAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WAS LITTLE NOTED THAT THE THIRD FEDERAL CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS' RULING ABOUT RECESS APPOINTMENTS (bypassing the Senate on vacation allows the President to appoint) WAS UNFAVORABLE TO OBAMA APPOINTMENTS OF FEDERAL OFFICIALS AND CALLED UNCONSTITUTIONAL. A BIG RULING !!!!!!!!!!!!
HIS APPOINTMENTS WERE DUMPING ON THE GOOD OLD U. S. OF A. CONSTITUTION AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S BECOME SUCH A NUISANCE TO THIS PRESIDENT THAT YOU CAN EXPECT THE COMMUNISTS WHO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE OVER THIS COUNTRY FOR AT LEAST A HUNDRED YEARS TO MAKE MANY MORE CONCERTED ATTACKS ON IT THROUGH OBAMA AND OTHERS TO TRY TO GET RID OF IT.
A known critic of Barack Obama who was investigated over six months ago with a double whammy by the IRS, Wayne Root says:"HIS (OBAMA'S) GOAL IS THE CLOWARD AND PIVEN PLAN (IT'S ON THE WEB-READ IT-IT'S AN EYE OPENER) "YOU'VE GOT TO BANKRUPT YOUR OPPOSITION (AND THE U.S. A). ............ RAISE TAXES, REGULATE THEM (individuals) TO DEATH, ASSESS IRS LIENS AND AUDIT THEM (individuals) TO DEATH" He also says: "I believe with every bone in my body that Barack Obama is a Marxist out to destroy capitalism and the United States of America." Damning words, indeed. The IRS found no problems in their first audit.
What's wrong with Communism? Well, start by reading the Cloward+Piven plan to take over a country. If you're not sick to your stomach after that, get the book, "The Last Days of Old Beijing" by Michael Meyer and the eye opening tale of how Beijing was redone for the 2008 Olympics. It is a very personal approach to the changes wielded by an authority driven, property owning Communist government choosing to appeal to the world without regard for the poor citizens affected. A REAL TALE OF COMMUNISM DESIRED CHANGE AND THE METHODS USED TO ACHIEVE IT.
AMERICANS MUST PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS COMING UNDER SEVERE ATTACK. THE SET BACKS IN THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION WILL BECOME THEIR EXCUSE TO CONTINUE THE ONSLAUGHT OF ATTACKS ON OUR GOVERNMENT AND ITS FOUNDATION. OBAMA'S METHODS ARE SUPPORTED BY HIS COHORTS AND MOST FOLLOW CLOWARD AND PIVEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO WERE TWO HARMLESS SEEMING COLLEGE PROFESSORS AT COLUMBIA--DANGER DOES NOT ALWAYS WEAR BRIGHT COLORS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A WEEK OF EYE OPENERS BUT KEEP YOUR ATTENTION GLUED TO LIBYA--WE HAVE ONLY SEEN THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG--THAT GOES FOR ALL THE GOVERNMENT SCANDALS. WE CAN HOPE THE PRESS MOVES AWAY FROM ITS LIBERAL BIAS REALIZING THAT THEY ARE NOT APPRECIATED AND STILL ON COMMUNIST HIT LISTS. BUT THEIR REPORTING SCRIPTS HAVEN'T SHOWN MUCH SURVIVAL INSTINCT.
REMEMBER DANGER DOES NOT ALWAYS WEAR BRIGHT COLOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BE AWARE.

INFLATION IS A BOOKMAKING GAME! POST 156
Hi,
Thought maybe this blogger could shed some light on inflation We don't get regular reports from this administration since it would reflect badly on their leadership.
No need to bore you with a lot of figures but comparing two dates through 60+ years will tell a fuller tale than 1.59% inflation figure for the current year. Just remember this has been happening to us yearly so it belongs to many generations, Congresses, and Presidents.
We'll take the figure of $l0,000. as our sample since it is an easy and clear exchange and show what it relatively was worth in l950 and what it relatively is worth in 2013. That clearly means how much you could purchase with this amount based on inflationary prices.
1950 $10,000. bought $965,963. or ABOUT $1million)
FOLKS, THAT'S A 10 TO 1 DIFFERENCE IN 60+ YEARS GIVE OR TAKE A FEW DOLLARS OR SO. THIS WAS CALCULATED WITH TIM MCMAHON'S ONLINE CPI CALCULATOR AT INFLATION DATA. COM WHICH YOU CAN LOOK UP ON THE NET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WONDER WHY YOUR MONEY JUST DOESN'T GO AS FAR AS IT USED TO ?????????? AND LONG YEARS AGO, IT WENT EVEN FURTHER !!!!!!!!!! THIS HAS BEEN STEADILY PROGRESSING IT SEEMS TO THIS BLOGGER. PROMISE AFTER PROMISE TO REDUCE INFLATIONARY SPENDING IN WASHINGTON RESULTS IN "SAME OLD, SAME OLD". EVEN PRESIDENT REAGAN AND HIS CONGRESS MADE ONLY A MOMENTARY BLIP IN THE LOSS OF THE DOLLAR'S BUYING POWER. IT WAS QUICKLY WIPED OUT BY THE NEXT POLITICIANS.
THAT'S WHAT THE DOLLAR'S BUYING POWER IN TODAY'S MARKET MEANS !!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN AFFORD TEN TIMES LESS THAN THE FOLKS IN 1950 COULD EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ON HIGHER INCOME.
IT ALSO MEANS A CAR THAT SOLD IN 1950 FOR $1200. SHOULD SELL FOR $12,000. !!!!!!!!!!! NOT SO !!!!!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT A TRUE STRAIGHT LINE PROGRESSION !!!!!!!!!!!!! CAR MANUFACTURERS LIKE MANY OTHER INDUSTRIES ADD CHARGES FOR THEIR IMPROVEMENTS IN CARS (WHICH CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN MANY) AND THIS IS ADDED TO THE BASE CALCULATION. THEREFORE cost BECOMES MORE LIKE $20-$40,OOO.(THAT INCLUDES IMPROVEMENTS).
THE IMPROVEMENT IN GOODS DRIVES PRICES EVER HIGHER (Sometimes it does bring prices down like in electronics that weren't available in 1950) !!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S A VERY COMPLEX MESS AND FRANKLY BECAUSE OF THE IMMENSE VARIATIONS NOW WITH GLOBAL TRADE, IT IS NOW NIGH UNTO IMPOSSIBLE TO DO A FIGURE THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL.
That's why this blogger believes that the 10 to 1 or $10,000. to $1000. comparison gives most folks a better insight into what is meant by "THE DOLLAR IS FALLING IN VALUE" in relation to what that actually means to the INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER AND HIS SAVINGS !!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE AN ABSOLUTE AND "TO DIE FOR" ILLUSTRATION BUT A CHANCE FOR SOME FOLKS TO SEE THROUGH THE "GOOBLE-DE-GOOK" FED TO THE UNTRAINED, UNINTERESTED OR HANDICAPPED MATHEMATICIANS WORLD WIDE. IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S MEANT TO BE:
AN EYE OPENER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take some examples of this ten to one illustration. Remember that you make it ONE TO TEN WHEN COMPARING for the present : A HOUSE IN 1950 THAT COST $100,000. TODAY WOULD equivalently be 1,OOO,OOO+ GETTING A COLLEGE EDUCATION (depending on where) COULD HAVE COST $4000.+ and TODAY the equivalent might be $40,000.+; CAR INSURANCE THAT COST $200.+, is TODAY's equivalent $2000.+ AND HOUSE INSURANCE then- -non existent IS TODAY'S big ticket. POLICY. NOT A PRETTY PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REMEMBER THOUGH, SALARIES FOR THE MIDDLE INCOME POSITION EXPANDED TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL American SALARIES GOT PRICED OUT OF THE MARKET. AGAIN A $10,000. SALARY (THAT NOT MANY MADE IN 1950) WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS in goods. ON THE OTHER HAND A $10,000. SALARY TODAY WOULD ONLY BUY $1000. WORTH OF GOODS. CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH FOR A HIGH MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND UTILITIES ETC.
AGAIN SALARIES DON'T FOLLOW A STRAIGHT LINE BUT A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER IN 1950 ON $2000. A YEAR MADE OUT BETTER THAN A TEACHER TODAY MAKING A TOP FLORIDA SALARY OF $60000, THAT ONLY BUYS the equivalent of $6000. OF THE WORLD'S GOODS.
EVER WONDER WHY IT SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH MONEY AND YET IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE BILLS ???????????? THE PSYCHOLOGY HERE IS ASTOUNDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOLKS SOUND LIKE THEY'RE EARNING SO MUCH MORE THAN "Y'ARS AGO" AND DOING SO MUCH BETTER BUT INFLATION HAS KEPT THAT FROM BEING SO. IT HAS MORE THAN KEPT PACE AND IN MANY CASES OVERTAKEN THE SALARY GAINS. WASHINGTON'S "BOOKMAKERS"--WHOOPS BOOKKEEPERS!!!!!!!!!!!SCORE AGAIN.
THIS BLOGGER REALIZES THAT ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE CAN BE A "DOWNER" BUT ON THE OTHER HAND FOR SOME OF YOU THERE'S SOME RELIEF IN THE FACT THAT IN SPITE OF THE ODDS, YOU'VE MANAGED TO PUT AWAY A LITTLE, BOUGHT SOME TOYS, HAD A NEW CAR OR AT LEAST A WORKING ONE, A HOUSE AND MANAGED TO KEEP UP WITH THE BILLS. FOR OTHERS, FOR WHOM IT IS NOT GOING AS WELL, THERE'S RELIEF IN KNOWING THAT IT'S NOT ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU'RE NOT THE SCHLUB YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE AND.........WITH INFLATION KNOWLEDGE YOU CAN BETTER PLAN HOW TO GET IT TOGETHER !!!!!!!!!!!! LIFE IS NOT A "BOWL OF CHERRIES" BUT YOU CAN PULL A FEW PITS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the hope that this helps unmuddle the muddle and serves as an assist to future thinking.
CHEERS, CONNIE
Thought maybe this blogger could shed some light on inflation We don't get regular reports from this administration since it would reflect badly on their leadership.
No need to bore you with a lot of figures but comparing two dates through 60+ years will tell a fuller tale than 1.59% inflation figure for the current year. Just remember this has been happening to us yearly so it belongs to many generations, Congresses, and Presidents.
We'll take the figure of $l0,000. as our sample since it is an easy and clear exchange and show what it relatively was worth in l950 and what it relatively is worth in 2013. That clearly means how much you could purchase with this amount based on inflationary prices.
1950 $10,000. bought $965,963. or ABOUT $1million)
FOLKS, THAT'S A 10 TO 1 DIFFERENCE IN 60+ YEARS GIVE OR TAKE A FEW DOLLARS OR SO. THIS WAS CALCULATED WITH TIM MCMAHON'S ONLINE CPI CALCULATOR AT INFLATION DATA. COM WHICH YOU CAN LOOK UP ON THE NET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WONDER WHY YOUR MONEY JUST DOESN'T GO AS FAR AS IT USED TO ?????????? AND LONG YEARS AGO, IT WENT EVEN FURTHER !!!!!!!!!! THIS HAS BEEN STEADILY PROGRESSING IT SEEMS TO THIS BLOGGER. PROMISE AFTER PROMISE TO REDUCE INFLATIONARY SPENDING IN WASHINGTON RESULTS IN "SAME OLD, SAME OLD". EVEN PRESIDENT REAGAN AND HIS CONGRESS MADE ONLY A MOMENTARY BLIP IN THE LOSS OF THE DOLLAR'S BUYING POWER. IT WAS QUICKLY WIPED OUT BY THE NEXT POLITICIANS.
THAT'S WHAT THE DOLLAR'S BUYING POWER IN TODAY'S MARKET MEANS !!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN AFFORD TEN TIMES LESS THAN THE FOLKS IN 1950 COULD EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ON HIGHER INCOME.
IT ALSO MEANS A CAR THAT SOLD IN 1950 FOR $1200. SHOULD SELL FOR $12,000. !!!!!!!!!!! NOT SO !!!!!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT A TRUE STRAIGHT LINE PROGRESSION !!!!!!!!!!!!! CAR MANUFACTURERS LIKE MANY OTHER INDUSTRIES ADD CHARGES FOR THEIR IMPROVEMENTS IN CARS (WHICH CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN MANY) AND THIS IS ADDED TO THE BASE CALCULATION. THEREFORE cost BECOMES MORE LIKE $20-$40,OOO.(THAT INCLUDES IMPROVEMENTS).
THE IMPROVEMENT IN GOODS DRIVES PRICES EVER HIGHER (Sometimes it does bring prices down like in electronics that weren't available in 1950) !!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S A VERY COMPLEX MESS AND FRANKLY BECAUSE OF THE IMMENSE VARIATIONS NOW WITH GLOBAL TRADE, IT IS NOW NIGH UNTO IMPOSSIBLE TO DO A FIGURE THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL.
That's why this blogger believes that the 10 to 1 or $10,000. to $1000. comparison gives most folks a better insight into what is meant by "THE DOLLAR IS FALLING IN VALUE" in relation to what that actually means to the INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER AND HIS SAVINGS !!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE AN ABSOLUTE AND "TO DIE FOR" ILLUSTRATION BUT A CHANCE FOR SOME FOLKS TO SEE THROUGH THE "GOOBLE-DE-GOOK" FED TO THE UNTRAINED, UNINTERESTED OR HANDICAPPED MATHEMATICIANS WORLD WIDE. IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S MEANT TO BE:
AN EYE OPENER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take some examples of this ten to one illustration. Remember that you make it ONE TO TEN WHEN COMPARING for the present : A HOUSE IN 1950 THAT COST $100,000. TODAY WOULD equivalently be 1,OOO,OOO+ GETTING A COLLEGE EDUCATION (depending on where) COULD HAVE COST $4000.+ and TODAY the equivalent might be $40,000.+; CAR INSURANCE THAT COST $200.+, is TODAY's equivalent $2000.+ AND HOUSE INSURANCE then- -non existent IS TODAY'S big ticket. POLICY. NOT A PRETTY PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REMEMBER THOUGH, SALARIES FOR THE MIDDLE INCOME POSITION EXPANDED TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL American SALARIES GOT PRICED OUT OF THE MARKET. AGAIN A $10,000. SALARY (THAT NOT MANY MADE IN 1950) WOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO A MILLION DOLLARS in goods. ON THE OTHER HAND A $10,000. SALARY TODAY WOULD ONLY BUY $1000. WORTH OF GOODS. CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH FOR A HIGH MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND UTILITIES ETC.
AGAIN SALARIES DON'T FOLLOW A STRAIGHT LINE BUT A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER IN 1950 ON $2000. A YEAR MADE OUT BETTER THAN A TEACHER TODAY MAKING A TOP FLORIDA SALARY OF $60000, THAT ONLY BUYS the equivalent of $6000. OF THE WORLD'S GOODS.
EVER WONDER WHY IT SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH MONEY AND YET IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE BILLS ???????????? THE PSYCHOLOGY HERE IS ASTOUNDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOLKS SOUND LIKE THEY'RE EARNING SO MUCH MORE THAN "Y'ARS AGO" AND DOING SO MUCH BETTER BUT INFLATION HAS KEPT THAT FROM BEING SO. IT HAS MORE THAN KEPT PACE AND IN MANY CASES OVERTAKEN THE SALARY GAINS. WASHINGTON'S "BOOKMAKERS"--WHOOPS BOOKKEEPERS!!!!!!!!!!!SCORE AGAIN.

PREJUDICE FUELED BY VIOLENCE! post 155
Hi,
This blogger grew up understanding that discussing religion or politics was taboo !!!!!!!!! And for many years this blogger followed the rule but getting older made her realize someone has to tackle the realities of both. The emails received in recent months have been vitriolic on Islam's Sharia and much as this blogger hates to break the first rule after breaking the second, here goes.
First and foremost this is not a blog on who is right about which religion. My personal choice is not going to be expressed nor is it important to this dialogue. This is about TRUTH and where we stand on that issue and RESPONSIBILITY and where we stand on that issue. Obviously, this blogger is big on both and does her best to test it.
So, let's try RESPONSIBILITY first and what we see as our role in the modern world and our nation.
America has a Constitution that prescribes religious freedom in our nation. DOES THAT TELL YOU ANYTHING ???????????? IT TELLS THIS BLOGGER THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE HAS REARED ITS UGLY HEAD !!!!!!!!!!!! THE PILGRIMS WHO CAME TO AMERICA HAD A BELLY FULL OF IT. ENOUGH TO WANT TO SCROUNGE A LIFE OUT OF A WILDERNESS !!!!!!!!!!! OUR FOREFATHERS SAW IT WAS A NEVER ENDING ARGUMENT THAT HAD TO BE EXPRESSED IN OUR MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so part of America's responsibility is to attempt to keep an open mind. NOT EASY WHEN OUR NATION'S BELIEF IN GOD HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS IN MYRIAD WAYS, THE MOST TERRIFYING OF WHICH WAS AN ATTACK ON THE TWIN TOWERS IN NEW YORK. THE MOST RECENT THE BOSTON MARATHON. OTHER ATTACKS HAVE COME UNDER THE HEADING OF ISLAMIC EXTREMISM.
BY THE WAY, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW RELIGIOUS ENMITY GOES AS FAR BACK AS RELIGION GOES !!!!!!!!!!! LOOK IT UP !!!!!!!!!! DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST MAKES IT SO !!!!!!!!!!
THAT GREAT AMERICAN TRAIT OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IS BECOMING HARDER FOR OUR CITIZENS TO SUPPORT !!!!!!!!! Terrorist events are happening during a time when many citizens are turning away from religion AND ITS MORAL precepts particularly ignored among the younger generations. The remainder of RELIGIOUS believers in America are realizing the vulnerability CAUSED BY this abandonment. Religious anger is often based on vulnerability because if one has a solid platform under personal beliefs and the church has a multitude of solid believers, one feels strong and positive. One can be rather more magnanimous toward those who don't agree!!!!!
VULNERABILITY IN THEIR RELIGIOUS beliefs PUTS MANY BELIEVERS IN THE ROLE OF SOLDIERS DEFENDING THEIR TERRITORY RATHER THAN DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION. RIGHT OR WRONG THAT'S THE SITUATION AND TERRORIST GROUPS ARE EXPLOITING IT TO THE MAX !!!!!!!!!!!!
ON THE OTHER HAND MIDDLE EASTERNERS ARE SEEING THEIR ANCIENT WAYS BEING CHALLENGED AND ABANDONED AND THEIR VULNERABILITY IS CAUSING THEM TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE TERRORIST ELEMENTS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED IN THEIR RANKS WHO BECOME SOLDIERS IN ISLAM'S CAUSE. RIGHT OR WRONG THAT'S THE SITUATION AND WITH THE MIDDLE EAST CONSTANTLY IN TURMOIL, WHERE ARE THE RESPONSIBLE SPOKESMEN FOR THE RELIGION ???????????? ELSEWHERE!!!!
IF AMERICA IS TO CONTINUE ITS RESPONSIBILITY IN PROTECTING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD ???????????? WELL, OBVIOUSLY NO MATTER WHAT HUBRIS WE POSSESS WE DON'T CONTROL THEM !!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE EXPRESSING THEIR OWN PROBLEMS AND ATTITUDES.
So it is this Blogger's sense that we have A CONFLICT NOT ONLY REMINISCENT OF THE ANCIENT RELIGIOUS WARS BUT A DEEP AND ABIDING ATMOSPHERE OF DISTRUST BETWEEN THE COMBATANTS. HOWEVER, REMEMBER "IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO" !!!!!!!!!!! RESPONSIBILITY ON EITHER SIDE CAN DEFLECT THE CONFLICT AND LET IT DIE A NATURAL DEATH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RELIGION BECOMES A WONDERFUL "POSSESSION" AS PRECIOUS AS ONE'S FAMILY !!!!!!!!!! THREATENED !!!!!!! IT MAKES THE HOLDER MORE POSSESSIVE AND DESIROUS OF PROTECTING THIS "POSSESSION" AND PROVING HOW PERFECT IT IS BY SHARING IT WITH OTHERS !!!!!!!!!!! HENCE THE DESIRE OF RELIGIONS TO CONSTANTLY HAVE MISSIONARIES IN THE FIELD. SHARING IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EXCEPT WHEN WE FORCE IT ON FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!! AND MOST RELIGIONS HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF THIS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.
UNFORTUNATELY MOST RELIGIONS HAVE A RATHER IMPERFECT PAST AND A RATHER SHORT MEMORY FOR THOSE IMPERFECTIONS BOTH PAST AND PRESENT BECAUSE THE DISPLAY BECOMES SORDID. ALL RELIGIONS CAN LOOK AT THEIR OWN PAST AND PRESENT AND PRAY FOR BETTER ATTITUDES AND MORALS BY NOT FORGETTING TRANSGRESSIONS, HARM TO OTHERS, AND THE WAYWARD MORALS OF RELIGIOUS ADVOCATES AND LEADERS.
TOLERANCE IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES ARE NOT ONLY IN RELIGIOUS BELIEFS BUT CUSTOMS AS WELL. WE HAVE SECTS OF RELIGIONS ALL AROUND OUR COUNTRY WHO HAD DIFFICULTY ESTABLISHING THEIR CUSTOMS. IT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN EASIER WITH THE LESS MILITANT GROUPS.
WE CAN WISH FOR MORE RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE MIDDLE EAST BUT ALTHOUGH A MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS MAY BE PEACEFUL, WE HAVE NOT EXACTLY MADE OURSELVES TREASURED FRIENDS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. A LOT OF ENMITY FROM VIOLENT CONFLICTS ON THE BATTLEFIELD MAKE AMERICANS SEEM LIKE AN ENEMY AND CONTRIBUTE TO A RELUCTANCE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ERRORS OF A MINORITY OF ISLAMISTS.
SO, AS USUAL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S UP TO US TO ATTEMPT TO BEHAVE WELL !!!!!!!!!!! TO LIVE UP TO OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR MORAL PLATFORM !!!!!!!!!!!
HOWEVER, CITIZENS OF MIDDLE EASTERN HERITAGE IN THIS COUNTRY MUST STEP FORWARD AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE IN THEIR MIDST WHO DO NOT RESPECT AND TOLERATE THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS THAT AMERICA ALLOWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS VITAL !!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS WHO COME TOGETHER AS AMERICANS !!!!!!!!! THAT same AMERICANISM, DOWNPLAYED SO OFTEN, IS VITAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF ALL IN RESPECT TO FREEDOM!!!!!!!
VIOLENCE must be REPUDIATED. Those who refuse to eschew violence should understand THAT PROSECUTION UNDER THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW WILL OCCUR and they should be encouraged to return to their native countries where they can practice their beliefs.
RESPONSIBILITY PROTECTS FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!
PREJUDICE IS FUELED BY VIOLENCE--A SIREN TO AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMERICA CAN ONLY WORK AND BE A STRONG, PEACEFUL COUNTRY IF ALL OF US ACCEPT AMERICAN VALUES, PRINCIPLES, AND INSTITUTIONS. THE CONSTITUTION IS THE FOREMOST PART OF EACH AND EVERY FIBER OF WHAT IS AMERICA. IT MUST BE RESPECTED BY ALL SO THAT THE FEW WHO REFUSE CAN ALSO BE FREE TO EXPRESS THAT difference NON-VIOLENTLY !!!!!!!!!!!
THINK ABOUT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
