Welcome to the long holiday weekend ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for taking time to read the blog and stay informed. This will be the last blog until Tuesday, June 1, 2010 unless there is major breaking news…
Sestak Scandal:
There is not much to add to the Sestak scandal tonight other than the fact that it is still there and that it isn’t going away anytime soon. Most of the major news outlets did not put much coverage into the topic today other than to continue to question former President Clinton’s role in the whole matter. Have no fear folks, I am on top of this story and as much as the White House would love for everyone to forget about this by Tuesday I can guarantee you that is not going to happen.
Top Kill Fails:
Unfortunately there is news from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and it is not good news. BP has announced this evening that they are suspending the Top Kill method that they we trying to use to stop the oil from leaking from the damaged well. BP states that after almost two days of attempting the method it became apparent that the method was not going to work. This is not what the people of the Gulf Coast or this country need to hear right now. People are begging for results and it seems like one thing after another keeps failing. BP is saying they are looking at other options now but I cannot help but feel they are stringing everyone along until the relief wells are driven. Those relief wells are a permanent solution but unfortunately they will not be completed until the end of August. It is completely UNACCEPTABLE to continue to have oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico for the next three months. Something must be done to contain this. Bottom line is this…I don’t care if they have to work around the clock I do hope that BP and the government have the best and brightest scientific minds on the case to solve this disaster.
Memorial Day:
As each of us celebrate Memorial Day this coming Monday please stop and take a moment to remember what the day is all about. If you personally know an armed forces soldier please do your part and pick up the phone, call them, and thank them for their service. Remember that we wouldn’t have the freedoms that we have today if it were not for the men in uniform going all the way back to the American Revolution. Let’s continue the fight for freedom each day and not forget the reasons that these great people paid the ultimate price.
Have a great weekend and holiday. Until Tuesday…

THE PLOT THICKENS...IT'S GETTING A LITTLE DEEP AROUND HERE
5/28/2010
Sestak Scandal Heating Up…
OH MY GOSH FOLKS…I really wanted to continue my series on the Economy in Crisis tonight but that is going to be put on the back burner for now in light of the continuing developments in the Sestak scandal. Ladies and gentlemen I thought my freaking head was going to explode with the White House statement today on the Sestak issue. Let’s get right into it:
The White House released a statement today stating that former President Bill Clinton met with and had a discussion with Pennsylvania Democratic Senate Candidate Joe Sestak and offered him a “non paid” position for dropping out of the Democratic Primary with Arlen Specter.
Sestak spoke to the media today as well and said that nothing inappropriate took place during his discussion with Clinton.
The media has been asking White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs about this situation since February and on multiple occasions Gibbs has ducked the questions.
Sestak has stated to the media on MULTIPLE occasions that he was offered a position in the White House administration for dropping out of the primary race and on at least one occasion he stated that it was a prominent position.
The White House has stated that it was a “non paid” advisory position.
Let’s stop right there and analyze this. This administration is either very bad at lying or they just think that the American people are very stupid and gullible. Releasing such an unbelievable story such as this is flat out an insult to the American public’s intelligence. Here is why.
Why would the White House send a FORMER PRESIDENT to offer a Senate Candidate a non paying advisory job? If this is true then Slick Willy has been reduced to just a simple errand boy.
Why release this statement on a Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend? Because they are hoping that by Tuesday the American public and media will forget about the whole thing. Sorry…NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. The media as well as yours truly are smelling the blood in the water and we are circling in.
If everything was on the up and up as the White House is stating then why didn’t they just come out and say something MONTHS ago instead of letting it go so long.
Why has Sestak been saying in MULTIPLE media appearances that he was offered a JOB and he had DISCUSSIONS (plural) with White House staff regarding it? Last I checked Slick Willy isn’t on the White House payroll…Or is he?
In summary this whole thing stinks to the high heavens and smells of a cover up. You know that old saying…If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck then guess what…It’s a DUCK. I still can’t believe that this is the story that they have come up with. Between this scandal and the oil spill I think it’s safe to say that this administration has its head in the guillotine.
Gulf Oil Spill:
Speaking of the oil spill it should be noted that the great one took time out of his busy schedule today to pay a very short visit to the Louisiana Gulf Coast before scooting off to a cozy holiday weekend. Hey Barack…Here’s a thought for you…Why don’t you pack up Michelle and the kids and come down to the coast and stay a while. You want to be Presidential then why don’t you grab some gloves and get your hands dirty and spend the holiday weekend helping out the workers cleaning up this mess. Show the people on the Gulf Coast that you mean business. Oh I forgot…that would interfere with your little Chicago get away this weekend. Maybe you need to pay a visit to your Chicago buddies and come up with some more unbelievable stories to sell to the American people.
Folks, here’s a good one. One report from the Gulf Coast today states that some officials bussed in workers to Grand Isle, LA to work on cleanup while the President was visiting and after he left they then bussed them back out. WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME IF ANYTHING IS REAL ANYMORE…Meanwhile BP and our government is stating tonight that it appears that the Top Kill method to stop the leak is going as planned. Do you believe them??? After today’s ludicrous stories I don’t believe anything anymore. NOTHING ADDS UP ANYMORE!
Thank you for your time tonight. I will attempt to get back on track with the Economy in Crisis series next week sometime but with the way things keep happening there will be some more major things to cover. At some point in time I will get back to it…I promise.
Tomorrow night I will cover the latest on the Sestak scandal and the oil spill in addition to providing recognition to America’s armed forces and our veterans for Memorial Day.
As usual there will be no article on Sunday and I will also not have one on Monday this week due to the holiday. The exception to each of these is in the event that there is a major breakings story. Until tomorrow night…

Economy in Crisis Part II
5/27/2010
Hello my friends and welcome to Thursday night. It has been quite an eventful day today to say the least. I am going to continue my series tonight on the Economy in Crisis but before I do I want to at least touch on a couple of today’s major stories.
Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill:
Yesterday at 2:00PM British Petroleum (BP) began what is known as the Top Kill method to try and put a stop to the leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. As of this morning BP stated that they felt very optimistic that they were making progress. Then later this afternoon the Top Kill method was stopped for a short time. BP stated that they wanted to check to see what affect the method was having and to evaluate the work that has been done so far. As of approximately 7:30PM EDT the Top Kill method has begun again. We can all pray that this will put an end to the plume spewing from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately it will not put an end to the hurting that the Gulf Coast residents are feeling and are going to feel in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. Scientist today estimated that the oil spill is significantly larger than first thought and that it has now surpassed the Exxon Valdez spill as being the worst environmental disaster in U.S. History. Late this afternoon it was discovered that there is an enormous plume underneath the surface of the Gulf that is headed towards the Northeast in the direction of Mobile Bay and the Florida Panhandle. This plume is estimated to be approximately 20 miles long by 6 miles wide by ½ mile deep. It’s safe to say that this plume is killing and suffocating everything in its path. On top of all of this NOAA released its forecast for the 2010 Hurricane Season and it does not look good. Sea surface temperatures are running in some places 4 degrees above normal and there is significant oceanic heat content in the Atlantic basin. Hurricane season begins next Tuesday, June 1st and runs until November 30th. The official forecast calls for possibly 23 named storms with 14 of them to be hurricanes. There could be at least 3 to 7 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher). If a hurricane were to hit the Gulf of Mexico while the leak is trying to be capped or the spill is trying to be cleaned up it would lead to an unprecedented disaster. The storm surge from the storms could leave a toxic, oil stained residue on the Gulf Coast for many miles inland. Bottom line…Pray for the Gulf Coast right now and pray that the NOAA forecast is dead wrong!
Obama Press Conference:
The President finally decided to hold a press conference today after putting off the media for almost a year! I had the opportunity to watch the press conference and needless to say I was not impressed. The bulk of the questions were focused on the Gulf oil spill and why the response has been lackluster. Just like the oil spill response the responses from Obama were very lackluster and insincere. I felt like I was listening to a used car salesman. It felt as I was being fed a line of garbage from the get go. Even the left leaning mainstream media is starting to criticize him including a staunch Obama supporter James Carville. It flat out took Obama almost 15 minutes to answer the first question. By the time the spin machine was finished most people probably would have turned off the TV due to shear boredom or they would have forgotten what the original question was to begin with. One thing is for sure…This President is sure good at getting people distracted. That’s probably how he got elected to begin with. In addition The President basically stated that the response has been happening but there are many meetings that have had to take place to get everyone on the same page. In other words we have to convene a freaking committee to get anything done all while the people on the Gulf Coast are suffering and begging for help. On top of that he kept pushing bi partisan talk saying that Democrats and Republicans need to get together on this issue. You know what, I’m tired of hearing about Democrats and Republicans. Here’s a thought…Why don’t he say that AMERICANS need to get together. We are all Americans and this is a problem affecting all of us. Democrats and Republicans are part of the problem. You’re the President for crying out loud. THIS IS A FEDERAL ISSUE. Just like securing our borders! Take charge and DO YOUR JOB. Expedite this process. It is 2010 for crying out loud and we are going on day 38 of this crisis. Quit having committee meetings and get something done!!! In addition Major Garrett of Fox News asked Obama about the situation regarding Pennsylvania Democratic Senate Candidate Joe Sestak. Garrett flat out asked Obama if Sestak had been offered a position by the White House and what investigation is taking place to ensure the American public that there is transparency in the government and no wrong doing. Basically Mr. Obama stated that there would be a statement coming in a short amount of time. I define that as him saying that the lawyers aren’t finished coming up with a good enough excuse yet. Obama put himself out on a limb by saying that there was nothing inappropriate that took place. Ladies and gentlemen mark that statement down and remember it. Remember that this is an impeachable offense and that statement could come back to haunt him.
Economy in Crisis Part II:
Now that we have gotten that out of the way I shall continue with last nights discussion of the Economy in Crisis. Last night I spoke about the fact that there are two groups of people in the world…”Workers” and “Users”. Tonight I want to focus on the “users” and their current state and where they are heading.
Please note that the “users” are currently happy. Why shouldn’t they be? They work very little, if at all. They get free healthcare, free food, free housing, free everything. The more children they have the more they get. Please tell me where the incentive is to work here? A whole generation has been brought up to learn that the government will take care of their every need and they don’t need to do anything. Now their kids and grandkids are learning the same habits. We live in a nanny state from cradle to grave. Meanwhile the “workers” that are still out contributing are getting smaller and smaller because the ones with these morals, ethics, and values are either getting too old to work or are giving up due to frustration. Please take note that the ONLY way that this country will be saved is if the “workers” don’t give up and pick this country up off the ground. The “workers” are very angry at the “users” right now and as I said last night, who can blame them? The “users” are more than content to keep getting there welfare and food stamps and live high on the hog being supported by someone else. But I’m here to put the “users” on notice. THIS WILL END!!! It has to. The current level of social programs and wasteful spending is unsustainable and when the government can no longer afford to fund your addictive habits of laziness and greed your funding will be cut off. At that time the “user” dog will rise up and bite the master. Now please bear in mind that the master needs to make this cut happen. As I said earlier, it is inevitable. There is no way we can continue as a nation having the government pay for the laziness of this country. When this cut happens there will be much pain and suffering. The “users” will be angry at that time and will surely bite the hand that has been feeding them. Remember the “users” will still be used to their old lifestyle. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. The “workers” will still be angry that our country has gotten to this position and will take their anger out on the “users” and at the same time they will be still upset with the government. The battle will be waged on three fronts. This will be the “workers” moment to shine. The “workers” will resurrect this country from the depths of despair just as the Greatest Generation did in the late 30’s and 40’s. The government will see that hard work is what made America the greatest nation on the planet. Hopefully this will lead to innovation and production in America once again. This will not be easy because the “users” are going to fight very hard for their entitlement programs. It will get very nasty before it gets better and there will be many battles waged. This must be done in order to save our country. Right now the debt clock is ticking away at an unprecedented rate. It has exceeded 13 trillion dollars. I cannot even begin to fathom how much money that is. But the only way to pay it down is through hard work, some pain and suffering, and cuts to unnecessary programs. The “users” of the world must be shown that there are incentives to working hard. Nothing is given to you. We bring the jobs back to America and we turn the “users” into “workers”. Sacrifice, blood, sweat, and tears will happen…but that is what this country was built on. Nothing came easy for our forefathers. Why should we today feel that it should come easy for us. All of us, “workers” and “users” have had it too easy in America for a very long time. The time has come to work hard and bring this nation back.
Thank you for your time. I will conclude my series tomorrow night on Economy in Crisis. We will discuss cutbacks and sacrifices that everyone, the government, “workers”, and “users” must make in order to put America back on track. Until then…

Economy in Crisis...Part I
Welcome to midweek my friends and thank you for joining me tonight. I apologize for missing last nights article but the topic that I’m covering tonight required a little more lead time to research. What you’re about to read right now should make up for last night. Please open your mind and get ready to see what is happening in in America and across the globe and try to grasp what will need to be done to point us back in the right direction.
Has anyone been following the news coming out of Europe and in particularly Greece recently? If you haven’t I highly suggest that you begin paying attention. Greece has been turned upside down in recent days and weeks by riots. The government in Greece is flat broke. The reason they are broke is due to entitlement programs and wasteful spending that has run amuck. Everyone gets a free handout. On top of that the government in Greece owes tons of money in pensions to everyone who has retired. All of a sudden the government in Greece has said that they can’t afford to keep giving free handouts to everyone. In addition some peoples pensions are getting cut. Needless to say the people that have been getting the handouts are rioting. Bottom line is that normally the dog won’t bite the hand that feeds them…until the dog quits feeding them that is.
My friends this is just the beginning of a set of dominos that is about to fall. Many other governments in Europe are in the same condition and it is only a matter of time that we will see this in other European countries. So why is this important to you and me? Because in addition to Europe this will probably come to an American city or state near you sometime soon. Stock up on supplies people and lock and load. You’re going to need it!
In America, and the world for that matter, it should be noted that there are two groups of people. For sake of this article we will call the two groups “workers” and “users”. The “workers” are the ones who go out each day and work hard for a living, don’t expect handouts from the government, pay their bills, and in general contribute to society. The “users” are the ones who are a drain on society due to their dependence on social programs and free handouts. These two groups have coexisted for a very long time. There was a time when there was a decent balance among these two groups. That balance is now gone. The “users” now far outweigh the “workers”. A few are providing for the many and the government is allowing it to happen. Top this off with wasteful government spending on items that are not needed and you have a recipe for disaster.
More and more entitlement and social programs are creating a huge drain on the economy here in America. This cannot continue. Put bluntly, it is an unsustainable practice that is leading us down a dangerous path. You cannot keep spending more money than you bring in. Sounds like common sense right? You would think so but unfortunately our Federal Government can’t seem to get a handle on this basic premise. What this is leading to is a situation where you currently have a group of very angry American citizens. This group is the “workers”. The “workers” are fed up with having to kill themselves to work hard each week while watching their money get taken from them to fund wasteful spending and the “users” who fail to contribute. These people are angry! And who can blame them? And it is important to note that they are not just angry at the Federal government but at the local and state government as well. The wasteful habits run deep throughout this country. And it should also be noted that it doesn’t just include the government. I’ll touch on what I mean by this later. PAY ATTENTION HERE…Mark my words that when it comes to anger the “workers” will not be alone for long. The “users” will be joining them in due time. Why you ask? Just like in Greece the dog will bite the hand of the master when it quits feeding them. Please understand my friends that the “user” dog will quit being fed very soon. It is inevitable.
So what is the solution? It should be noted that it is a long road to recovery due to the huge amount of debt that has been racked up. It should also be noted that the principle that can put the ship back on course is a very simple premise but will require some pain and sacrifice to put it into practice.
Stay tuned…I’ll get more into the coming anger of the “users”, additional areas of waste, and the way to get the train back on the tracks in the coming nights. Please take notes, tell your friends about these articles, and get involved in your local, state, and federal government. TAKE ACTION…Till tomorrow night…

Has anyone been following the news coming out of Europe and in particularly Greece recently? If you haven’t I highly suggest that you begin paying attention. Greece has been turned upside down in recent days and weeks by riots. The government in Greece is flat broke. The reason they are broke is due to entitlement programs and wasteful spending that has run amuck. Everyone gets a free handout. On top of that the government in Greece owes tons of money in pensions to everyone who has retired. All of a sudden the government in Greece has said that they can’t afford to keep giving free handouts to everyone. In addition some peoples pensions are getting cut. Needless to say the people that have been getting the handouts are rioting. Bottom line is that normally the dog won’t bite the hand that feeds them…until the dog quits feeding them that is.
My friends this is just the beginning of a set of dominos that is about to fall. Many other governments in Europe are in the same condition and it is only a matter of time that we will see this in other European countries. So why is this important to you and me? Because in addition to Europe this will probably come to an American city or state near you sometime soon. Stock up on supplies people and lock and load. You’re going to need it!
In America, and the world for that matter, it should be noted that there are two groups of people. For sake of this article we will call the two groups “workers” and “users”. The “workers” are the ones who go out each day and work hard for a living, don’t expect handouts from the government, pay their bills, and in general contribute to society. The “users” are the ones who are a drain on society due to their dependence on social programs and free handouts. These two groups have coexisted for a very long time. There was a time when there was a decent balance among these two groups. That balance is now gone. The “users” now far outweigh the “workers”. A few are providing for the many and the government is allowing it to happen. Top this off with wasteful government spending on items that are not needed and you have a recipe for disaster.
More and more entitlement and social programs are creating a huge drain on the economy here in America. This cannot continue. Put bluntly, it is an unsustainable practice that is leading us down a dangerous path. You cannot keep spending more money than you bring in. Sounds like common sense right? You would think so but unfortunately our Federal Government can’t seem to get a handle on this basic premise. What this is leading to is a situation where you currently have a group of very angry American citizens. This group is the “workers”. The “workers” are fed up with having to kill themselves to work hard each week while watching their money get taken from them to fund wasteful spending and the “users” who fail to contribute. These people are angry! And who can blame them? And it is important to note that they are not just angry at the Federal government but at the local and state government as well. The wasteful habits run deep throughout this country. And it should also be noted that it doesn’t just include the government. I’ll touch on what I mean by this later. PAY ATTENTION HERE…Mark my words that when it comes to anger the “workers” will not be alone for long. The “users” will be joining them in due time. Why you ask? Just like in Greece the dog will bite the hand of the master when it quits feeding them. Please understand my friends that the “user” dog will quit being fed very soon. It is inevitable.
So what is the solution? It should be noted that it is a long road to recovery due to the huge amount of debt that has been racked up. It should also be noted that the principle that can put the ship back on course is a very simple premise but will require some pain and sacrifice to put it into practice.
Stay tuned…I’ll get more into the coming anger of the “users”, additional areas of waste, and the way to get the train back on the tracks in the coming nights. Please take notes, tell your friends about these articles, and get involved in your local, state, and federal government. TAKE ACTION…Till tomorrow night…

A New Week Begins...Oil Spill, Joe Sestak, Korean Tensions, and Our Future Leaders
Hello folks and welcome back to a new week. Tonight I'm going to go through with a lightning round of topics and basically touch on some things that I will cover more in depth as the week goes on.
First topic out of the gate tonight:
The Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill
Another weekend has passed and British Petroleum (BP) still has a geyser of oil spewing from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico seabed. I ask again like I did last week...WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET THIS FIXED??? Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindel is obviously fed up and who can blame him? Jindel has been begging to get U.S. Army Corp of Engineers approval for dredging and building sand berms to keep the oil out of the sensitive wetlands. While the Corp and the Federal Government is tied up in red tape and dragging their feet everyone in Louisiana gets to watch their state slip under a wave of black tar. Jindel is ready to buck the entire system and go ahead with the operations. Have at it Bobby, I'm behind you on this one. Hopefully we will have some good news to report on this later in the week but I'm not going to hold my breath. In addition it should be noted that the Atlantic Hurricane Season begins in one week. I'm not liking the idea of seeing the Louisiana Superdome coated in oil. NOT GOOD.
Next Topic...Joe Sestak...
During an interview over the weekend on NBC's Meet the Press the winner of the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate Primary Joe Sestak confirmed once again that he was offered a "job" in order to drop out of his race with current Democratic incumbant Arlen Specter. It should be noted that the White House was backing Arlen Specter in the race. Apparently they felt that Sestak was a tough enough opponent that it would be better just to get him out of the picture. Their are rumours going around that Sestak was offered the Secretary of the Navy posistion from White House Cheif of Staff Rahm Emanual. If that is the case and he was offered this position it almost surely came down from the Obamanation himself. If that is indeed true then the great one has committed an impeachable offense. We can only hope that is the case. Stay tuned and we will provide further updates later this week as news comes out.
Korean Tensions
Once again the tensions are high on the Korean Peninsula. This is nothing new as the two countries are still in a defacto state of war since a cease fire was never signed after the Korean War. Occasionally North Korea likes to rattle their sabres and get everyone in the world riled up. Unfortunately, this time they may have rattled too much. Back in March a South Korean warship was sunk by a North Korean torpedo and the South incurred a significant loss of life. In fact, it was the most significant loss of South Korean military manpower since the Korean War was stopped. Will the South respond? I think it goes without saying that they should retaliate. The North now is feeling the heat and is threatening all out nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula. It should be noted that there is a large contingent of U.S. Troops along the North and South Korean border. This is almost sure to escalate and could get ugly over the next couple of weeks. Let's hope that cooler heads prevail.
Our Future Leaders
At some point this week I want to spend an evening discussing the potential future leaders of this country. I want to look at todays youth and try to figure out what is wrong with them. Is there any hope for our future? I have to wonder sometimes when I walk through the malls and movie theaters in this country. I hope there are some shining lights out there that realize what we are up against in the next 50 to 100 years. It is essential that we groom some future American leaders to keep this country strong. The question remains...Where are they going to come from? Hopefully I can find some answers and get to this topic during this week. It is essential to our future.
I look forward to bringing you informative information each and every night.

American Heroes Being Forgotten
It's time to wrap up the week and I'm going to keep it short and sweet tonight. I had the privellege of speaking with some American Korean War disabled veterens today and was able to shake their hand and thank them for there service to our great country. During my discussion with them the subject came up about how our soldiers are being treated after serving their country.
As most everyone knows our Vietnam Vets were treated very poorly by a good portion of the American public when they returned from overseas. There was a strong anti war sentiment during the Vietnam conflict and unfortunately the veterans of that war felt the wrath of the public when they came home. The public saw no distinction from the politicians that make policy versus the soldiers that carry it out.
Today we have soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. The majority of these soldiers are being treated well by the general public and most people are grateful for their service. Unfortunately it is now the government that they serve that is creating difficulties for our returning and retiring soldiers. Disabled veterens now are having a much harder time getting the Veteran's Administration (VA) provide them with care. And when the care is provided the quality of the care is questionable at times. I personally know an Iraq War Veteren who has had multiple problems with his health due to injuries he sustained while serving. In addition he has had to deal with post traumatic stress disorder. This soldier has had a horrendous time getting the VA to provide him with quality care. In addition when care has been provided he has had much difficulty in getting them to cover the cost of the care or the medications.
My friends this is unacceptable. The Korean War vets I met today agreed. Our vets fought to keep us free so that we may enjoy the freedoms that we have today. Now, in addition to trying to take away many of our freedoms our government wants to dump on our vets after their service is done. Once again, this is unacceptable. We must stand up for our vets. No matter what your feelings are about our government I implore you to please not take it out on our vets. These soldiers need our support as much as possible.
This is once again another example where our current government does not have their priorities straight. Make sure we let Washington know that we as a nation will not stand for the current treatment that our vets are getting.
As I said earlier in the week...The status quo in Washington D.C. MUST CHANGE. If the Constitution is not being followed then changes must be made. And while we are at it let's not forget the treatment of our forgotten American heroes.
I'll be off tomorrow and I look forward to writing to you again on Monday night. Have a great weekend and as always...STAY SAFE, STAY INFORMED, STAY ALERT

The Saga Continues...More Immigration News
Well the week is finally coming to a close and not a moment too soon. For my first week writing this blog it has been a whirlwind. I was hoping to get onto somewhat of a lighter topic tonight but once again my focus is going to have to be on illegal immigration. More importantly tonight I want to focus on "border security".
As everyone knows we live in very dangerous times. Terrorist, drug cartels, theives, pedophiles, and murderers lurk in all corners of the globe. A significant portion of the criminal element that happens in the United States comes from illegal immigrants. Before anyone gets all out of sorts I want to clarify that I'm NOT picking on any one RACE here. This is not a race issue. Period. The criminal element could come anywhere from Great Britain, The Cayman Islands, to the Middle East. Like I said, evil lurks in ALL CORNERS OF THE GLOBE. Keep in mind though that we could eliminate a significant portion of the criminal element if we would simply secure the border. This is ESSENTIAL to the safety and security of the American people. Arizona realizes that and has stepped up to do the job that the Federal Government should do but has refused to do. In fact just today John Morton, the assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stated that his agency would consider not processing illegal immigrants that are referred to his agency from the state of Arizona. In essence this man is not performing the duty that he was sworn to do and that is to protect America from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I would consider any criminal element that could cross the porous border as an enemy and it is the Federal Governments sworn duty to protect America from them. If illegal immigrants can flow across the border and illegal drugs can flow across the border then what is going to stop an illegal weapon of mass destruction from flowing across the border? Is this government going to wait until there is a mushroom cloud over an American city before it decides to secure our borders? Arizona has been BEGGING the Federal Government to do their job and as of yet nobody in the Obama administration has even responded to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer. Bottom line folks...THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
Unfortunately this situation is likely to get worse before it gets better.
On a lighter note...A little bit of humor tonight...
A terrorist on the Arabian Peninsula has "accidentally" blown himself up while "messing with a bomb". The Fox News story states that U.S. officials had been watching the terrorist but had nothing to do with his death. Hmmm, what do you think? Quite frankly it doesn't matter to me if he blew himself up or if one of our assets took him out. It's a win win situation for all of us. Another dirtbag bites the dust.
On that note I will bid you all a good night. Tomorrow night is Saturday and with it hopefully some lighter topics to close out the week. I am going to make it policy to not write on Sunday as it will be my day to relax, recharge, visit my house of worship, and spend time with my family. See you tomorrow night and I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Am I In Bizarro World???
I really didn't want to get to deep into any topic tonight because last nights topic was maybe a little over the top for some of you. Unfortunately Mexican President Felipe Calderon has forced my hand and my emotions. Calderon, along with the pacifist in the White House and Congress are on the hot seat tonight!
Quite frankly I'm a little pissed off. Who does President Calderon think he is? He walks onto the South lawn of the White House yesterday and criticizes Arizona's recently enacted immigration law. Then today he has the stones to walk in OUR CAPITAL BUILDING and LECTURE Congress and the American people on immigration. Um hello...This is the pot calling, can the kettle please pick up the black courtesy phone! What the heck is wrong with this guy? Has President Calderon looked at his own immigration laws? Maybe he better know his own laws before he lectures OUR COUNTRY. What a jack bag he is!
Speaking of Mexican immigration laws lets look at them right now...
Did you know that if you are found to be an illegal immigrant IN MEXICO you can be arrested? You also have no rights to due process. In addition you can be deported and if you are then caught trying to get back in to Mexico again you can be jailed for up to 10 years. I'll bet that the Mexican military makes sure that their Southern border is secure. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to read all of Mexico's immigration laws please feel free to look it up online.
Furthermore President Calderon had the nerve to ask for our Congress to implement the assault weapons ban. In essence he was basically telling our Congress that they need to repeal the 2nd Amendment. The reason he claims this is necessary is because he cannot stop the violence that is taking place in his country and he claims that it is because of weapons coming from our country. He went on to say that he can't stop the flow of illegal narcotics into our country unless we reduce the demand in OUR country. So let me get this straight...It's our fault that weapons are flowing into his country because THEY have a demand for them. And it's also our fault that narcotics are flowing out of Mexico due to OUR demand for them. Here's a thought for Mexico...Why don't you reduce the demand of weapons in YOUR country. We have the 2nd amendment for a reason and that is not only to protect our homes and property from bad guys but also to protect us from an over reaching government.
Bottom line is this...There is a public safety and ecomomical concern taking place on the U.S. and Mexico border. Why don't President Calderon mind his own business and take care of things on his side of the fence instead of telling us how to take care of our side of the fence. Maybe he can tell President Obama how to do things since he can't seem to get anything done right himself. But don't you DARE walk into our Capital and lecture our Congress on a law that has been implemented by a sovreign state. Arizona was perfectly within their rights to enact the new law. Especially since the law is already a Federal law and just isn't enforced. I'm all for the state enforcing the law if the federal goverment doesn't. The more and more the establishment keeps bashing Arizona the more strength that they get for their position. I wouldn't be suprised to hear calls for succession in Arizona.
With all of that in mind what was even more offensive is the fact that Obama and his minions in Congress stood up and applauded Calderon while he effectively slammed Arizona and our laws in our OWN CAPITAL and on the South Lawn of the PEOPLE'S house. A couple of the ones who stood up and applauded included Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napalitano who both have admitted that they haven't read the Arizona law.
Where has the pride in our country gone? Do we have to appease every other country on this planet to the point that anyone can come in and say whatever they want about our country? What's next, Hugo Chavez and Kim Jong Ill speaking before our Congress? Maybe we should have Mahmound Ahmadinejad over for a state dinner at the White House. This administration has their nose stuck so far up other world leaders backsides that it will take a crow bar to get them loose. I can think of some past American presidents and patriots that would have probably kicked Calderon's rear end all over the South lawn for his comments.
The bottom line is this...This administration needs to grow a set and take care of their Constitutional obligations to the states and the American people. This administration may not have a set but there are many people in this country that do and they are ready to take this country back.
God Bless America

The Socialist Agenda
Good Wednesday evening folks and welcome back. Tonight's topic is on the current Socialist agenda that is trying to overtake our Republic.
When I was growing up my Grandfather had a saying. "If you don't work, you don't eat." Period. There was no if, ands, or buts about it. My Grandfather worked hard his entire life. He was a World War II veteren and where he fought the scourge of the Axis powers to keep our country free. After the war he worked two and sometimes three jobs in order to support his family and put food on the table. His generation is not called the "Greatest Generation" for nothing. They truly were heros and all of us today owe them a debt of gratitude. Unfortunately we in America are in danger of forgetting the principles that they lived by and throwing away every reason that they fought and worked so hard for.
It is no longer a secret that we are in very dire straights economically. But how many people out there realize that it is by design? It should be no secret to anyone either that our government continues to take away more and more freedoms everyday. With the economy crashing and more people depending on the government the more the government has control. Remember that a government that is big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take everything you have. The entitlement programs, free handouts, and no work policies that are continuing are unsustainable. You can't just fire up the printing press and make more money. Right now the dollar isn't even worth the paper it is printed on.
There is something else that I want everyone to get a grasp on as well. This IS NOT a Republican or Democrat issue. BOTH PARTIES ARE GUILTY HERE. From the Patriot Act being enacted while President Bush was in office to the auto and bank bailouts while President Obama is in office. While I personally feel that Obama is a worse president than Bush it needs to be noted that Bush had his fair share of issues. Obama has continued many of Bush's problematic policies and has taken it one step further to continue to limit freedoms and push a Socialist agenda. GM is majority owned by the Federal Government now as well are many banks. Throw in the health care reform bill that wants to MANDATE that people get insurance or face a fine or tax penalty from the government and you have a recipe for Socialism. What happens if you can't afford to pay the fine? Am I going to be placed in a concentration camp because I don't have insurance. Or maybe my dear Grandma will be killed off since she is too old to be productive in society anymore and is a drain on the system.
If you want to eliminate a big drain on the system you can start by finding and deporting the illegal immigrants that refuse to take the steps to become legal. If you want to stay in America then get legalized and pay taxes like the rest of us. Don't expect me to fund you're lifestyle and have you send all of the money that you make illegally back to your home country to fund their economy. Bottom line...DEPORT the ILLEGAL immigrants and you will solve a big portion of the health care problem!
Everytime a crisis comes along it provides the government with more and more reasons to take away your freedoms. What crisis will come next? Pay attention here people. A major crisis gives the government, meaning this or any other administration more reasons to make a power grab. September 11th, 2001 was a major crisis. After 9/11 all of our lives were forced to be changed and the Constitution began to be put into a shredder. The government was able to institute many things that would have never been possible had it not been for 9/11. It makes you wonder who really was behind 9/11 doesn't it? Who stood to gain from the attacks? Was it a guy in a cave or possibly bankers that would fund the wars that would surely follow. I'm not fully sold on the idea that 9/11 was an inside job but there is evidence to suggest that it could have been a false flag attack. If you don't know what that is just do an internet search and educate yourself. While you're at it check out the film "Loose Change" on Youtube and decide for yourself what you think about that fateful September day.
Now we have the economy in shambles. Not just in America but world wide. Greece has seen riots in the streets recently and if things continue on the current path we could certainly see the same things here in America. If the same thing happens in America it just gives the government more of a reason to perform another power grab and take away more freedoms. This is what they want. We as a country need to realize that Washington D.C. is not in control of what happens anymore. Our elected officials are at the mercy of a ruthless loan shark and the bankers are in control of everything. The rich keep getting richer, the middle class falls into poverty, and the poor keep getting poorer. This is an endless cycle that will end up in the destruction of the dollar and the powers that be, the big banks, attempting to institute a one world government. So long Constitution, the American dollar, and the American way of life.
Until recently I would have never believed some of the very things that I am writing to you. But the deeper you dig the more your eyes are opened. Please wake up and realize what is happening. We need to get back to the basics and realize what this country was founded on. Everything our country does must be based on the Constitution. It is America's lifeblood. But right now it is on life support. Don't let the Constitution be shredded. Stand up for what you know is right. Work hard. Don't give up. Don't feel like someone owes you anything. You must work for everything you want and believe in. This country was built on hard work and ideas and I believe that the same things will save it. But everyone needs to get off of the couch, pay attention, get educated, and realize that things will only get better if you act.
This topic is such a broad subject and there is no way I can cover it all in one night...Stay tuned and I will occasionally touch on this subject from time to time. Until then stay alert, stay informed, and stay well.
God Bless America

When I was growing up my Grandfather had a saying. "If you don't work, you don't eat." Period. There was no if, ands, or buts about it. My Grandfather worked hard his entire life. He was a World War II veteren and where he fought the scourge of the Axis powers to keep our country free. After the war he worked two and sometimes three jobs in order to support his family and put food on the table. His generation is not called the "Greatest Generation" for nothing. They truly were heros and all of us today owe them a debt of gratitude. Unfortunately we in America are in danger of forgetting the principles that they lived by and throwing away every reason that they fought and worked so hard for.
It is no longer a secret that we are in very dire straights economically. But how many people out there realize that it is by design? It should be no secret to anyone either that our government continues to take away more and more freedoms everyday. With the economy crashing and more people depending on the government the more the government has control. Remember that a government that is big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take everything you have. The entitlement programs, free handouts, and no work policies that are continuing are unsustainable. You can't just fire up the printing press and make more money. Right now the dollar isn't even worth the paper it is printed on.
There is something else that I want everyone to get a grasp on as well. This IS NOT a Republican or Democrat issue. BOTH PARTIES ARE GUILTY HERE. From the Patriot Act being enacted while President Bush was in office to the auto and bank bailouts while President Obama is in office. While I personally feel that Obama is a worse president than Bush it needs to be noted that Bush had his fair share of issues. Obama has continued many of Bush's problematic policies and has taken it one step further to continue to limit freedoms and push a Socialist agenda. GM is majority owned by the Federal Government now as well are many banks. Throw in the health care reform bill that wants to MANDATE that people get insurance or face a fine or tax penalty from the government and you have a recipe for Socialism.

Gulf Crisis Just Keeps Getting Worse
Hello folks,
How is everyone tonight on this fine Tuesday evening. Before we get into the topic of the night I wanted to give a shout out to Rand Paul in Kentucky for winning the Republican Senate primary. Just another sign that the American people are fed up with the same old song and dance in Washington D.C.
Speaking of being fed up, I am past being fed up with the situation in the Gulf of Mexico. It has now been four weeks since the accident onboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform. In that four weeks we have seen corporations and agencies fiddle fart around trying to get a handle on what is happening and so far the response has been lackluster in my opinion.
Is the public being told the truth about the size of the spill or the actual volume that is coming from the ruptured line. Some scientist have argued that based on the video footage that has been released it appears that much more than 5000 barrells of oil per day are being discharged into the sensitive Gulf of Mexico waters. In addition we are seeing video of only the plume we can see on the surface. In 5000 feet of water how much of the oil is being dispersed below the surface where we cannot see it? Why can't BP, Transocean, and/or the Federal Government get a hold of this situation? Irreversible damage is happening to the ecosystem in the Gulf and now there is evidence that the oil has entrained itself into the Gulf of Mexico loop current and is headed to the Florida Keys and beyond. A large volume oil spill in the Florida Keys would not only devestate the environment for many years to come but would also decimate Florida's already lackluster economy. In addition to the Keys other areas are under the gun as well. Miami's famed South Beach could easily see oil washing up on the shore as well as points further up the Florida East Coast. The only oil they want to see on Florida beaches is the SPF 15 that is on the bikini clad models. Another area that could be potentially under the gun is the Bahama's. I'm sure the Bahamian government is just going to be thrilled with the potentially devestating effects that could possibly be in store for their environment and their economy.
So the question remains...Why is it so difficult to get this flow capped off and stopped? This is America...We put a man on the moon, invented the automobile, was first in flight, and are or was the world's leader. The last statement there is a little questionable in recent years due to some continued nonsense going on in Washington. Whatever happened to American inginuity? I can just imagine that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people in this country that could have a great idea to put a stop to the crisis that is currently happening. Not only the crisis that is currently happening in the Gulf but also the crisis of our dependency on petroleum based products for fuel.
Just think of the great inventors in our American history. Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford, Orville and Wilbur Wright. The list goes on and on and on. But where have all the inventors gone? Why haven't we seen new innovations that will change our lives in the past few decades? One could argue that we have seen innovations. The internet (and no Al Gore didn't invent it), cellular phones, GPS, and digital photography were all great innovations. But were those inventions actually necessary. I recall a time where I went to the library to get my information, made phone calls with a quarter at the corner store, used a fold out map to find out where I was going, and had my Kodak film developed at Winn Dixie. No, the invention that I am talking about is one that will change all of our lives forever. Like the car and the airplane did in the early 1900's.
I personally feel that invention will be in the form of an alternative fuel source for automobiles. A clean, renewable resource that will eliminate our need for going to the gas station ever again.
But this will not happen as long as certain things stand in the way. First, big oil must take a back seat and realize that they are going the way of the dinosaur. If they would like to lead the way with this new technology then so be it...Just don't block it for the sake of your profits. Secondly, we need the America spirit to become alive and well again. This is so important to the future of our country. Not just in the way of inventions but in all aspects of the American life.
It is said that necessity is the mother of all invention. Right now I'd dare say that we have a dire necessity to change the status quo.

Tomorrow night I will cover the growing Socialist agenda in this country as well as some very disturbing remarks from Actor Woody Allen...Not that he should be taken seriously!

Arizona, ILLEGAL Immigration, and Miss USA
Good evening everyone and welcome to the start of the week. Today I want to touch on the Arizona ILLEGAL immigration law. That's right, I capitilized ILLEGAL on purpose because I want to get that point across to everyone right now. Arizona's new law is designed to enforce something that is, has been, and should always be ILLEGAL.
Now to get something straight right out of the gate I want to clarify that I have no problem with people coming to the United States. America was founded and built by immigrants. There is however a big difference between coming here legally, following the rules, and becoming a citizen versus making a run for the border and hopping over a fence.
Let's discuss the ILLEGAL immigration problem. What effect does ILLEGAL immigration have on all of us? Well for one it creates a major strain on our economy and resources. I'm all for helping our neighbors but the old saying goes that you must take care of yourself before you take care of others. Healthcare has been a major hot topic in the U.S. recently. Just think of what kind of strain all of the illegal immigrants are having on the healthcare system. You and I as taxpayers are paying to take care of the health needs of all of these illegal immigrants. The fact that they are ILLEGAL means that they are doing NOTHING to contribute to our society and economy. They get paid under the table and obviously don't pay taxes.
This brings us to another problem. If they are ILLEGAL how are they getting jobs to begin with. The greed of corporate America has come around to finally bite us. Corporations big and small hire the ILLEGAL immigrants in an effort to minimize production costs. Bottom line is this...Corporations that hire ILLEGAL immigrants should face stiff penalties that will discourage the practice of hiring ILLEGAL immigrants.
Which now brings us to Arizona. Arizona has been plagued by this ongoing problem for years and it has recently become worse. The crime that has been taking place in Mexico is beginning to spill across the border and residents in border counties and cities are now left fearing for their safety. The federal government has done little to nothing to protect American citizens along the border so it is now left up to the state to take action.
People have been concerned that this new law will result in racial profiling. The bottom line here is if you are not ILLEGAL then you don't have anything to worry about. Let me repeat that another way...IF YOU ARE LEGAL THEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. If you are ILLEGAL you are BREAKING THE LAW and should be deported.
While we are on the subject it should be noted that Miss Oklahoma was asked a question regarding the Arizona Immigration Law during the Miss USA competition on Sunday night. Miss Oklahoma answered very well and stated that she believes in states rights and that if the federal government would not enforce the law then it was up to the state and local government to do so.
Please feel free to post comments and give me your feedback. What is your stand on the Arizona Law.
Stay tuned...Tomorrow I will write about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

What Is Going On???
What is going on in America today??? Will someone please answer that question. That is one of many questions that I will attempt to answer during my coming writings. My name is Bandit Darlington and this is my first posting to all of you out there. In the days, weeks, months, and years to come please feel free to look to this blog to find out what The Bandit is thinking and hopefully provide you some enlightenment and information on where we have been, where we are and where we are going. I will address current events and take a look at how they are shaping our future as a nation. I will look at world events and attempt to see where this planet is heading. But to do all of that we need to look at the past first. The best way to tell where we are going is to take a look at where we have been. Stay tuned. It's going to be a heck of a ride!
