August 16 --


People are asking, and should ask, why are even federal agencies like the Social Security Administration and the National Weather Service stocking up on lethal ammunition like millions of hollow-point bullets and stashing them at locations all around the country?

     This has a sinister ring to it, and it is NOT paranoia to ask just what possible use is being planned by a devious Obama administration. White House reporters should be demanding answers -- often and loudly.

California Status Report, courtesy Victor Davis Hanson ...
    "California's combined income and sales taxes are among the nation's highest, but the state's deficit is still about $16 billion.  It's estimated that more than 2,000 upper-income Californians are leaving per week to flee high taxes and costly regulations, yet California wants to raise taxes even higher, its business climate already ranks near the bottom of most surveys.  Its teachers are among the highest paid on average in the nation, but its public school students consistently test near the bottom of the nation in both math and science.
    "The state's public employees enjoy some of the nation's most generous pensions and benefits, but California's retirement systems are underfunded by about $300 billion.  The state's gas taxes -- at over 49 cents per gallon -- are among the highest in the nation, but its once unmatched freeways, like 101 and 99, for long stretches have degenerated into potholed, clogged nightmares unchanged since the early 1960s.
    "In the Never-Never Land of Apple, Facebook, Google, Hollywood and the wine country, millions live in an idyllic paradise.  Coastal Californians can afford to worry about the state's trivia -- as their legislators seek to outlaw foie gras, shut down irrigation projects to save the 3-inch delta smelt, and allow children to have legally recognized multiple parents.
    "But in the less-feel-good interior, crippling regulations curb timber, gas and oil, and farm production.  For the most part, the rules are mandated by coastal uptopians who have little idea where the gas for their imported cars comes from, or how the redwood is cut for their decks, or who grows the ingredients for their Mediterranean lunches of arugula, olive oil and pasta."



Ex-New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, a very rich man, was a big contributor to Obama's campaign. Also an advisor to Obama.
     Corzine ran a big investment company called MF Global.
     The company went under, losing over a billion dollars of customers' money; it just ... "disappeared!" 
     Now Obama's Justice Department, run by Eric Holder, who is himself being sued by Congress, has decided the MF Global
debacle/fraud is "nobody's fault" and won't be prosecuting Mr. Corzine or any of his underlings.
     Draw your own conclusions.


Obama faces a very difficult choice. "Do I go ahead with the nutjob VP Biden, or do I dump him for a woman I hate and risk the inevitable conclusion by most voters that I've given in to fear and panic about the election?"


Reality check: Anyone who thinks the civilized world and militant Islam can peacefully co-exist is crazy.
     Serious decisions regarding the ongoing problem with the biggest gang of mass murderers currently inhabiting the planet should be made with that fact in mind.

Professor (economics) Walter Williams, who is black, is not confident that Barack Obama, ever-supportive of the teachers' unions, has any plan to actually improve the education of disadvantaged black youngsters. The root problem goes right back to the home ...
    "Numerous studies show that children raised in stable two-parent households do far better educationally and otherwise than those raised in single-parent households.  Historically, black families have been relatively stable.  From 1880 to 1960, the proportion of black children raised in two-parent families held steady at 70 percent, in 1925 Harlem, it was 85 percent.  Today only 33 percent of black children benefit from two-parent families.  In 1940, black illegitimacy was 19 percent, today it's 72 percent.
    "Too many young blacks have become virtually useless in an increasingly high-tech economy.  The only bright outlook is the trickle of more and more black parents realizing this and taking their children out of public schools." -- Townhall.com
