Hump Day Report: A Tale Of Two Cities
ALOHA, ALL!! It’s convention time and it looks like this year will truly delineate the differences between the two parties in so many ways. First City: The Republican National Convention opens Monday in Tampa. With all the talk of a potential hurricane disrupting the proceedings, I predict the convention will go on as planned and be a huge success. In fact, rainstorms and less-than-ideal weather bode well for the GOP – it will keep the crazies away. The Code Pink idiots, Occupy dolts, anarchists and bums won’t want to protest in a driving rainstorm. Instead, the country will see a unified party with a coherent, positive message for the future. And Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates who will have voters saying “Yes we will!”
Second City: The Democrat National Convention opens in Charlotte on September 4. I think they are secretly hoping for a hurricane! Their convention has already been plagued with lack of funds, causing them to cut back a day and to move to a smaller venue. The Dems are touting a line-up of “prominent women” (like Sandra Fluke – seriously?) and are welcoming Islamists with open arms. Prediction: anarchists will abound at this commie-fest and voters will be saying “No we won’t!”
Romney Nomination Moved To Monday ”For the moment, it looks like the Republican Party has nothing to fear over Tropical Storm Isaac — but they’re taking no chances. Instead of waiting until the third day of the convention to formally nominate Mitt Romney for President as would be customary, the roll call will take place on Monday.”
Convention, Not Re-Runs! ”It’s official. Neither NBC, ABC, nor CBS is planning to air any coverage of the Republican National Convention opening night on Monday, when Ann Romney will be speaking. Instead? As Politico noted, ABC and CBS are airing reruns, of “Castle” and “Hawaii Five-0” respectively.”
Ann Romney Speech May Not Make It Into Network TV Coverage ”POLITICO’s Dylan Byers reported today that ABC, CBS, and NBC have said their Monday night primetime schedule doesn’t include convention coverage. So, “in order to get Mitt’s wife onto television, the campaign may have to scramble and reschedule her speech.”
Biden’s Tampa Visit Strains RNC Security ”It does complicate things. Certainly, it’s not the best day for us because we are trying to do a good job for the people that are going to be down in Tampa for this other event so they are all safe,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee.” (Good video – fair and balanced!)
Obama Convention Closes Cancer Center ”Democrats are arranging transportation for those who wish to view Obama’s speech. It is unclear if Democrats will also arrange transportation for the displaced cancer patients receiving critical treatments for their life-threatening conditions.”
Radical Islam Joins The DNC ”Starting at the end of this month the Democratic National Convention will open with a focus on Islam. 20,000 Muslims are expected to attend according to the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), the national Muslim American non-profit coordinating the two days of events they claim are non-political.”
Democrat Convention To Feature Prominent Women Speakers ”Collectively, the list of speakers — who join the previously announced speaker, Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren — represents a clear effort by the Obama campaign to drive home the point that one party is tolerant of women’s issues while the other is blind to them.” Really???? A desperate housewife and a sexually-active law student will do this?
Will The Dem Convention Be Abortion-Palooza? ”Agenda changes show that Democrats will make Akin the poster boy of the GOP and focus the three-day affair on abortion and contraception policy…” That should get a lot of viewers – NOT!
In Other News:
As a Buckeye, I can’t get enough of this story! ’O-I-H-O’: Obama’s Dan Quayle Moment ”The photo was not flipped or Photoshopped despite what some MSM lapdogs may want us to believe.” 
Pretty good representation of this, don’t ya think???? 
Bring it on! Arizona, Nebraska Take Stand Against Obama’s Amnesty ”The state of Nebraska is following the lead of the state of Arizona in announcing that, in the Cornhusker State, illegal aliens that qualify for deferred action under President Obama’s recent administrative amnesty will not qualify for in-state tuition, welfare benefits, or a driver’s license.” And: ICE Agents File Suit Against Napolitano Over Amnesty Program ”Ten federal immigration agents have filed suit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano claiming recent directives are forcing them to break the law and ignore their duties when it comes to deporting illegal immigrants.” YES!!!!
Bubba in the spotlight. Mark Levin: Bill Clinton Has The Real Rape Problem ”Levin calls on Barack Obama to yank Bill Clinton as keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention.” And: McCaskill On Clinton In 2006: ’I Don’t Want My Daughter Near Him.” 
Surprise, surprise. ‘Independent’ Watchdog On Energy Loans Turns Into Big Obama Donor ”Well, well, well … what a coinky-dink. The man who got picked to review more than $23 billion in Department of Energy loans and gave them a clean bill of health — without reviewing loans to already-defunct Solyndra and Beacon Power — waited a whole two weeks to start donating to Barack Obama’s re-election effort.”
Final Thought: ”After four years at the United Nations I sometimes yearn for the peace and tranquillity of a political convention.” Adlai E Stevenson

Hump Day Report: We’re Thugs. We Rule. Now Hand Over The Cash
ALOHA, ALL! The fallout from the SCOTUS ruling on the Arizona immigration law continues. You thought once SCOTUS ruled it would be the law of the land? How silly of you – this is the age of Obama; the Chicago way; the Rule of Thugs. Both the Department of (in)Justice and and Department of Homeland (in)Security immediately instituted policies to undermine Arizona’s right to crack down on illegals.
Big Sis Napolitano’s DHS rescinded [what are called the 287(g)] agreements with seven Arizona police departments. These serve to partner local police with the federal government on immigration enforcement. Federal immigration officials were also directed not to respond to local traffic stops or law-enforcement encounters that result in the identification of an illegal immigrant in Arizona unless the detained person is a recent border crosser, has already been removed from the country and reentered the United States unlawfully, or is a convicted criminal. White House a Sore Winner on AZ Ruling
Meanwhile, Big Brother’s DOJ has set up a special hotline for individuals to report suspected “civil rights violations” and “law enforcement abuse” in Arizona. Gee….you think this might bait people into reporting frivolous claims? OMG – Obama Must Go! Brewer Calls Obama’s DOJ Hotline An “Assault”
Hey brother can you spare a few thou?? It’s becoming increasingly clear that people don’t like this thug government. What’s the best indicator? Obama is having money problems: Obama’s Money Woes Speak Volumes Plus, the DNC is scaling back it’s extravaganza of a convention: Dems Forced to Downsize as Fundraising Falls Short Gee….no Roman columns?? No fireworks?? But never fear – you can donate to Barry via his “Event Registry.” I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. Here’s the link: Obama Event Registry Gotta love this:
Instead of another gift card you’ll forget to use, ask your friends and family for something that will go a little further: a donation to Obama for America. Register your next celebration—whether it’s a birthday, bar or bat mitzvah, wedding, or anniversary—with the Obama campaign. It’s a great way to show your support for a cause that’s important to you on your big day. Just log in or sign up to build and customize your page—and congratulations!
LOL!!!!!!!! But how nice of Team Obama to congratulate you peons on your special event. Remember – even though it’s your day it’s all about Barry.
Final Thought: ”Now nobody get nervous, you ain’t got nothing to fear. You’re being robbed by the John Dillinger Gang, that’s the best there is!” John Dillinger

Hump Day Report: The Audacity of Hypocrisy
ALOHA, ALL!!! Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie. Not to be confused with Hippocrates or Hypocorism. (Wikipedia) The Obama administration is the epitome of hypocrisy. OK…yes I know most politicians are hypocritical. But Obama and his administration make all others look like saints. And here’s a recent example. Obama said this in 1996 about how the average American feels about political donors getting access to politicians: ”They can’t attend a $10,000 breakfast and they know that those who can are going to get the kind of access they can’t imagine.” Well Barry sure has changed in 16 years: Hypocrisy and White House Opens Doors to Big Donors ”Although Mr. Obama has made a point of not accepting contributions from registered lobbyists, a review of campaign donations and White House visitor logs shows that special interests have had little trouble making themselves heard. Many of the president’s biggest donors, while not lobbyists, took lobbyists with them to the White House, while others performed essentially the same function on their visits.” So step right up, folks! A mere $35,800 will get you “the kind of access you can’t imagine.”
Why am I not surprised?? Democrats Punt on Senate Budget Bill for Third Year ”In a stunning backtrack that virtually guarantees Congress for the third year will be unable to produce a budget, Senate Democrats’ top budget writer Tuesday canceled this week’s expected votes on a 2013 fiscal blueprint.”
Say it ain’t so! Did Big Sis lie????? Napolitano Perjured Herself in “Fast and Furious” Testimony ”In her explosive new book Fast and Furious, Katie Pavlich makes the case that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano not only failed to stop an operation that led to the death of one of her own, Border Agent Brian A. Terry, but she may have also lied to Congress in sworn testimony at a hearing held to find out what really happened.”
THIS IS TOO GOOD TO NOT POST: Rush tells us who his daughter would look like And it’s not Hilary Rosen
Too Funny! I think David is a little stressed:
“The choice in this election is between an economy that produces a growing middle class and that gives people a chance to get ahead, and their kids a chance to get ahead, and an economy that continues down the road we’re on.” Ha Ha!! All Romney has to do is run this clip as a campaign ad about 500 times.
OORAH!!! US Marines Give President Obama Lowest Rating Ever ”The Marine Corps Times published the results of a Military Times survey that indicated that Obama only received a 25% approval rating amongst actively serving Marines and 44% said they disapproved of Obama’s performance as Commander-in-Chief.” TRIVIA QUESTION: Who wore a HOOAH pin recently on several TV appearances? Click HERE to find out. Hint – Jon Stewart couldn’t resist mocking it. (And yes…I know that “Hooah” is an Army battle cry. It’s the equivalent of the Marine’s “OORAH.”)
Voter Fraud, Continued. This time it’s Ben Jealous, Bill Maher and David Brock:
Hey Eric Holder – listen to the people! 73% Think Voter ID Does Not Discriminate ”Most voters consider voter fraud a problem in America today and continue to overwhelmingly support laws requiring people to show photo identification before being allowed to vote.”
BREAKING NEWS! Issa Says He Is Moving Forward With Contempt Charges Against Holder ”According to Issa and Senator Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who is investigating the (Fast and Furious) scandal in the Senate, Holder has turned over only ten percent of the subpoenaed documents necessary for Congressional staffers to conduct their investigation.”
Finally, the icing on the cake is a report from the New York Times that I just came across, which details how the EPA is fining businesses for failing to use a type of biofuel that is not commercially available: When the companies that supply motor fuel close the books on 2011, they will pay about $6.8 million in penalties to the Treasury because they failed to mix a special type of biofuel into their gasoline and diesel as required by law. But there was none to be had. Outside a handful of laboratories and workshops, the ingredient, cellulosic biofuel, does not exist: “A Fine for Not Using A Biofuel That Doesn’t Exist,” New York Times, 9-Jan-2012.

Hump Day Report: Is That A Threat Or A Promise?
ALOHA, ALL!! Barry/Barack was out fund raising with his high rolling San Francisco supporters yesterday. Of course, he claims he’s promoting his jobs plan to the American people so we end up paying for his jaunts with our taxes. (BTW – he’s been to California EIGHT times in the past MONTH.) For some reason, San Fran brings out the snob in Barry. Remember his infamous “clinging to guns and religion” quote? Anyhoo, this time Barry warns us that we’ll “be on our own” if he doesn’t win in 2012. Obama: If GOP Wins, ‘You Are on Your Own’ » Matzav.com – The Online Voice of Torah Jewry Really???? Hey Mr.Community Organizer…that’s what we want!!!!! Seriously, if the GOP doesn’t just take a compilation of all of Barry’s quotes and make them into a campaign ad, they’re missing a golden opportunity. That’s all they need to win in 2012 – run Barry against himself. In the meantime, I say: right back at ‘ya, Barry:
OWS VIDEO OF THE WEEK!!!! OK…you thought the “Haftin’ to be up roared” video I showed in the last issue of the HDR was hilarious, check out this guy: His threat to the police: ”I have handcuffs and I know how to use them.” LOL!!!! This numbskull takes the prize!!!
Super committee. Still ‘plenty of time’ for a deal, ‘super committee’ co-chair says ”With the deadline to come up with a $1.5 trillion deficit reduction package just weeks away, and very little detail about what the so-called “super committee” is discussing behind closed doors, the co-chair of the bipartisan panel insisted Tuesday there’s plenty of time to reach a deal.”
They sure know how to keep a secret. Congressman: Lobbyists Know More About Super Committee Than He Does ”Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) came to Washington in January ready to have a vigorous public debate over America’s debt crisis. He’s less optimistic about the outcome today — a result of the super-secret Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction.”
What about that student loan debt? Surprising Stats on Student Debt – Common American Journal ”At a time when Americans have been rolling up their sleeves and paying down credit card and mortgage debt, student loan debt stands out as the one category growing by leaps and bounds. That debt has doubled in just the past five years – and it’s pretty easy to see why.” Here’s more perspective: Great news: Obama’s student-loan changes puts $8 in borrower pockets per month « Hot Air
The student loan plan touted by Barry wasn’t his idea (even though he makes it sound that way.) It’a a plan that has been in place and was supposed to start in 2014. He just accelerated the start date to 2012: Obama acts to ease burden of student loans – Yahoo! News
ICYMI: Did you know that since May, the House has passed over 15 jobs bills that are currently sitting in the Democrat-controlled Senate? Harry Reid has stonewalled them. So don’t believe these Dem talking heads who keep saying “the Republicans have no plan.” They’ve had several.
Holder’s DoJ: Justice for SOME. Obama Wins! School District Must Pay Muslim Teacher for Trip to Mecca | Floyd Reports ”The Justice Department has forced a Middle American school district to pay a Muslim teacher $75,000 and implement a sensitivity training course throughout the district, after administrators refused to allow the new hire to take three weeks off for a trip to Mecca in 2008.” Question: do you think they would have had to pay a Christian teacher for a trek to Jerusalem????? Not that they should…which is exactly the point. Why should they pay for any religious trip? (Thanks to Lee for the link.)
Get your blood pressure meds ready. Napolitano: Jailed Illegals Will Get Phone Number to Report Civil Rights Violations ”Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told the House Judiciary Committee in written testimony submitted Wednesday that illegal aliens taken into custody by local law enforcement and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement will be given a phone number to call if they believe their civil rights have been violated.” Napolitano is a joke! She was grilled by Jason Chaffetz (A ROCK Star in Congress!) yesterday about Fast & Furious and claimed she knew nothing about it. She could have been great in “Hogan’s Heroes” (for those of you who know what that is.)
More ways Big Sis is looking out for us – NOT! DHS Gave Secret Clearance to Member of the Muslim Brotherhood – Common American Journal
When hypocrisy bites you in the butt (and some might say…stays there.) JammieWearingFool: ‘Michelle’s Spitting Mad’ ”MICHELLE OBAMA is now furious with Southern cooking queen PAULA DEEN for crowing that the first lady, a healthy-eating advocate who’s waging a war against childhood obesity, pigs out on fattening foods.”
Final Thought: ”This election will not be as sexy as the first one. We’ve got to grind it out a little bit. We’ve got to grind it out. I’m going to keep on pushing.” Barack 0bama at a campaign even in San Francisco, 10/25/11

HDR 153: An Early Memorial Day Tribute
ALOHA, ALL! As many of you know, my father-in-law was a World War II fighter pilot. At age 95, Dad is a member of that “Greatest Generation” who fought so bravely to preserve our freedom during a difficult time. (Reality check: can you imagine what our lives would be like today if they hadn’t put their lives on the line?) They didn’t ask questions, whine, or shirk from duty – they just did it. I know all HDR readers admire and respect these veterans for their service and their sacrifices, and here’s one way to give back: Honor Flight: The Greatest Generation’s Last Wish | The Foundry ”The Honor Flight Network exists to grant them one last wish and final honor before they go. The program transports World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., free of charge to see the National World War II Memorial for the first—and likely—last time.” I know I usually report all the bad things happening in our country, but this is something to feel good about. It’s one effort we can support and be proud of. God bless all our military men and women!
And it turns out there will be a documentary released later this year about Honor Flight and these living heroes. Be sure to watch this trailer about it – they want to get 5 million viewers by Memorial Day: Show Your Thanks to World War II Vets by Watching This 2-min Video SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW! (Thanks to Ruth for the link. She sent this to me not knowing I was going to write about Honor Flight…aren’t some things meant to be?)

Nonsense to the South. Desert Pupfish Forces Border Agents to Patrol on Foot – HUMAN EVENTS ”Federal agents must abandon their vehicles and chase drug smugglers and illegal aliens on foot through 40 acres near the Mexican border because of a pond that is home to the endangered desert pupfish.” HUH???? SO I GUESS 0BAMA WAS BEING LITERAL WHEN HE SAID WE HAVE BOOTS ON THE GROUND PROTECTING THE BORDER. RIDICULOUS!
But what about the North? Canadian Border Bigger Terror Threat Than Mexican Border, Says Border Patrol Chief | CNSnews.com ”(Alan) Bersin (from the US Customs and Border Protection agency) attributed the situation, in part, to the fact that the U.S. and Canada do not share information about people placed on their respective “no-fly” lists. As a result, individuals deemed a threat who fly into one country may then cross the land border into the other.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? Hey Janet Napolitano – what the heck are you doing?
0bama throws Israel under the bus – again. Flashback: Obama Pledges “unshakable commitment to Israel’s security and the friendships between our two countries” (Video) – Updated | All American Blogger How can ANY American of Jewish heritage support this guy??? WAKE UP!! Here’s Krauthammer’s analysis of 0bama’s speech: The news in Obama’s speech – The Washington Post But my favorite response of all is from Rep Allen West: Congressman Allen West Response to President Barack Obama’s Call for a Two State Solution in Israel ”Today’s endorsement by President Barack Obama of the creation of a Hamas-led Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders, signals the most egregious foreign policy decision his administration has made to date, and could be the beginning of the end as we know it for the Jewish state.” GO WEST!!!!!

ANOTHER ONE WHO’S DONE? Election 2012: Generic Presidential Ballot – Rasmussen Reports™ ”The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that a Generic Republican currently earns support from 45% of Likely Voters across the nation, while the president attracts 43% of the vote.” Hey Barry/Barack, can you see 2012 from your house yet?
How dare they criticize Barry/Barack?!?! White House freezes out Boston Herald over editorial? « Hot Air ”The White House shouldn’t decide on media access based on which outlets will paint him in the best possible light — and those media outlets that do get selected on that basis should really be the first to object, as it reflects very badly on their objectivity. But it’s perhaps even worse that the Obama administration feels that they can publicly manipulate their media coverage in such a ham-handed manner and think that they could get away with it.” Do I hear a “yes we can” coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?
This one is really disturbing. USS Cesar Chavez? Why Not the USS Saul Alinsky? | NewsReal Blog ”The decision to name a Navy ship after this radical is remarkable not only because President Obama’s teleprompter has the phrase “Yes, we can!” burnt into it from the phrase’s overuse, but because the far-left leader was a disciple of communist sympathizer Saul Alinsky.” How about a USS Mao next?
Why you should be concerned about Goodwin Liu: Cloture vote scheduled for Goodwin ‘Reparations’ Liu’s nomination – Common American Journal He wants reparations for slavery…believes in a “living” Constitution…supports racial quotas…he’s about as far left as you can get. And he’s only 39 – he needs to grow up. UPDATE: Senate GOP Marks a First – Blocking an Obama Judicial Nominee – FoxNews.com HALLELUJAH!! But don’t think for a minute he’ll be the last goofball nominated. It’s how this administration rolls.
Final Thought: “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.” Ronald Reagan, 1967 – California gubernatorial inauguration speech
