Hump Day Report: Holmes Was OWS Member?

An OWS Black Bloc member. James Holmes wore similar gear when killing innocent people.

ALOHA, ALL!!  Surprise, surprise – James Holmes, the creep who shot up a Colorado movie theater, may have been a member of Occupy Wall Street?  Let’s turn the tables on the lamestream media, shall we?  They claimed Holmes was a member of the Tea Party (in reality, they had the wrong James Holmes.) But there’s  more circumstantial “evidence” that Holmes belonged to the most violent wing of the OWS movement, the Black Bloc (did you know they had such divisions in their organization?  But no worries, Pelosi and Obama think they’re just great!)  These are the thugs who wear the dark clothing, ski masks, bullet -proof gear and more while destroying property and beating people.  Holmes dressed like this when he shot up the movie theater.  They conceal their identities.  Gee, why aren’t they proud of themselves?  And Black Bloc members have an intense hatred for cops (hmm…didn’t Holmes booby trap his apartment to kill cops?)  More info:  Aurora Shooter Militant Black Bloc Member?  and Colorado Shooter Active With Occupy Wall Street   UPDATE:  Any reference to James Homes has been removed from the Occupy Wall Street and Adbusters websites.  Here’s a video of what the Black Bloc is all about:  

This begs two questions:  Do you think ABC News will report Holmes’ OWS similarities as “being of interest” ?  After all, he sure looked and acted like the Black Bloc OWS criminals.  Oh yeah, do you think Brian Ross will be fired for associating an innocent man with a murder rampage?  

We all know the answers to both those questions

Meet the man smeared by Brian Ross:  Interview With James Michael Holmes, Hispanic Tea Party Member Falsely  Accused By ABC News  

Great editorial from Thomas Sowell:  Facts Are Futile Against The Advocates of Gun Control  ”The real problem, both in discussions of mass shootings and in discussions of gun control, is that too many people are too committed to a vision to allow mere facts to interfere with their beliefs, and the sense of superiority that those beliefs give them.”

Final Thought:  A picture expresses more than words at times like this.  Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims and the injured.

Hump Day Report: Leftist Violence, Extremism, Corruption

ALOHA, ALL!!  If you’ve never heard of Alfonzo Rachel (“Zo”) he’s a true American treasure.  Zo is a Black conservative who does videos for Pajamas Media.  In this one, he talks about how it’s OK to spew hatred against a president if you’re a left-winger, but if you’re on the right and say anything that could be construed as violent, you get a visit from the Secret Service.  Case in point:  Ted Nugent.  Uncle Ted said something recently that was controversial.  And it did push the envelope. And the Secret Service were on him like white on rice.  But as Zo points out, what about all the horrible, violent things that were said about Bush?  *cricket sounds* Check it out:  

BREAKING NEWS!  Axelrod to be fired for inciting violence.  Well, maybe not:  GOP Controlled by Far Right “Reign of Terror”  

Jon Corzine, crook and FOB (Friend of Barry.)  Amid Scandal, Corzine Is Among Obama’s Top Bundlers  ”Corzine, the former New Jersey senator and governor, and former head of Goldman Sachs, is among 127 individuals (dubbed “volunteer fundraisers” in the parlance used by Obama’s Chicago campaign) credited with raising more than $500,000 through the first quarter of 2012.”

Looking forward to this one!  Occupy Unmasked  “It’s young, it’s spontaneous.  It’s going to be effective” Nancy Pelosi.  ”I’m so impressed by what I’m seeing here.”  Michael Moore.  Far out, idiots.

This guy would have approved of the OWS crowd, too.  Ira Einhorn, Earth Day’s Dirty Secret  ”You won’t find Ira Einhorn’s name listed in any of the Earth Day promotional literature, as the organizers have taken great pains to distance themselves from this man, at least since he became better known for composting his girlfriend in a trunk in his closet for a couple of years in the late 1970s.”

And what has environmental extremism given us?  Here’s a great video (Shaka to Scott)    Free Market America is responsible for this video.  They have an excellent site dedicated to defending the principles of economic freedom against the threat of environmental extremism.  Go HERE.  Now!

This site has been criticized for being “racist.”  Obama Isn’t Working  It was claimed the title presented a stereotype of Black men (i.e. “not working.”)  Seems like everything is “racist” these days.  Whatever.  There’s tons of good information and resources on there.  Then again, I’m a racist according to that dopey blogger in Maryland so it figures I’d like it.

And did you know it’s racist to suspend a black kid from school?  Just ask Jesse Jackson:  School Suspension is Racial Profiling, Caused Trayvon’s Death  Time for Jackson, Sharpton and their race-baiting ilk to get real jobs.

I just posted on Smart Girl Politics Action blog.  This IS War!  ”The concerted effort to bring down our free-market, Constitution-based system of government is real, and affects everyone….not just women.”  Check it out.

Glad you voted for Obama?  1 in 2 New Graduates are Jobless or Underemployed  ”Taking underemployment into consideration, the job prospects for bachelor’s degree holders fell last year to the lowest level in more than a decade.”

This is a good one - Shaka to Don!

Final Thoughts:  ”…it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.” Barack Obama after the Tucson shooting

“…liberals only have empathy for the exact same victims — always the ones that are represented by powerful liberal interest groups.” Ann Coulter

Hump Day Report: Deja Vu

ALOHA, ALL!!!  Yes, it seems we’ve been here before.  A hostage crisis, a feckless president, a powder-keg situation.  How will it end?  While that remains to be seen, we know that the current situation is dangerous.  We know that the United Sates, under this president, has lost respect around the world.  We know that Americans in many foreign countries aren’t safe.  Heck, some are being held hostage and Barry is doing nothing….nada….zero zilch.  How will it end?  That’s up to us in November.   Jimmy Carter All Over Again | FrontPage Magazine

Since it’s Friday, how about some videos?  (No Rick Rolling – promise!)

Was it MLK Day or  0bama Day?  

I really think Nancy Nitwit has lost her mind.  

The “Anti-Nitwit” – Congresswoman Renee Elmers!  

And there’s an “Anti-Dimwit” on the horizon, too!!!  CPAC interview: Hey, who wants to fire Debbie Downer? « Hot Air  ”Yesterday at CPAC, we had a number of technical issues on Blogger Row, which almost kept me from interviewing the impressive Republican challenger to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Karen Harrington.”

The Tipping Point is here.  Dependence on Government Highest in History  ”The Heritage Foundation’s 2012 Index of Dependence on Government shows an alarming trend under the Obama Administration of a level of dependence on our government that has never been seen before. Today, a full 70 percent of the federal government’s budget goes to pay for housing, food, income, student aid, or other assistance, with recipients ranging from college students to retirees to welfare beneficiaries.”

No surprise here.  Occupy Wall Street Now Promoting the Weather Underground – Common American Journal  ”Occupy Albany has announced an event in March called, The Weather Underground Meets Occupy Wall Street….to celebrate U.S. political prisoner David Gilbert’s new memoir, “Love and Struggle.” Gilbert is currently serving time in the Auburn Correctional Facility and is described as “an American radical leftist organizer and activist.”

Look out Dennis the Menace – here comes Joe the Plumber!  http://www.joeforcongress2012.com/  ”I am running for Congress in the 9th District of Ohio. And I’m asking you to stand with me. Enough is enough. No matter which side of the political fence you stand on, stealing is wrong.”  Good luck, Joe!  Hubby’s cousin ran against Kucinich last time and almost pulled it off.

UPDATE:  In the last HDR I wrote about the changes in combat pay.  An alert reader and military member sent me this explanation:  ”On “combat pay”: The change simply says that an individual gets paid only for the days they are in the hostile-fire zone. In Kosovo, we had people get sent down from USAREUR (U.S. ARmy in EURope) in Germany for, oh, a single day per month, and then collect hostile-fire pay for the whole month. It was not exactly a morale-builder that people could do that. All in all, it’s not a bad change.”  So if the military is OK with this, then I am too.  At least for now.  But why do I not trust a single thing this administration does?

Don’t mess around with those nuns!  (I know from experience)  TV Network Started by Cloistered Nun Sues Sebelius | CNSnews.com  ” Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN)–founded in 1981 by Mother M. Angelica, a cloistered Roman Catholic nun belonging to the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration–has filed suit against Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other senior officials in the Obama administration..”  She’s also suing Timothy Geitner & Hilda Solis.  Hey Mother A – why not Nancy Nitwit, too?!?  Or at least a few smacks with a ruler :-)

BREAKING NEWS – OBAMA ANNOUNCES “ACCOMODATION.”  Obama to Announce Contraception Rule ‘Accommodation’ for Religious Organizations – ABC News  ”The move, based on state models, will almost certainly not satisfy bishops and other religious leaders since it will preserve the goal of women employees having their birth control fully covered by health insurance.”  Notice how they can’t even say the word “compromise”????  Yeah….the Great Uniter.

Final Thought:  ”Watch me closely during the campaign because I won’t be any better a president than I am a candidate.” Jimmy Carter

Hump Day Report: Obama’s Oil Folly

ALOHA, ALL!!  Remember how Barry claimed in his SOTU speech that he was on target to reach his goal of doubling exports?  (I know….who was paying attention?)  Anyhow, when I heard it I thought to myself, “export what?”  He never explained what those exports were, hoping we’d all think it was cars or clothing or widgets.  But guess what’s propelling Barry’s export success?  Oil.  Our own oil that we could be using for ourselves is going to other countries at a record pace.  Check this out:  Export growth on track to meet Obama goal – Economy – NewsObserver.com  ”Sales of petroleum products also hit a record of about $90 billion in 2011, making fuel the country’s single-biggest export, and the United States a net exporter of fuel for the first time in six decades.”  Are you kidding me?????  Just one more example of how 0bama wants energy prices to “necessarily skyrocket.”  (Shaka to Rose Marie for the link.)

To wit:  Harper Builds Oil Link With China After Obama Keystone ‘Slap’ – Common American Journal  “The Keystone decision was a slap in the face to Canada and it’s making Canadians rethink the relationship,” said Jack Mintz, head of the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. “Harper probably wants to put out a sign that we’re open for business for Asia.”

And have you heard how we’re “helping” Brazil?  Obama’s $2 billion to Brazil ends up helping send oil to China « Hot Air  ”We apparently can subsidize government controlled oil companies in foreign countries, but not here.”

CBO report not rosy.    CBO: Taxes Will ‘Shoot Up by More Than 30 Percent’ Over Next 2 Years | CNSnews.com  ”The U.S. economy, CBO projects, will perform “below its potential” for another six years and unemployment will remain above 7 percent for another three.”

"Hey, isn't it time for a break??"

But it’s rosy if you work for the government.  CBO: Federal workers better compensated than in private sector – The Hill’s On The Money  ”The Congressional Budget Office found Monday that federal workers are compensated 16 percent more than comparable private-sector workers on average.”  More from The Heritage Foundation:  Federal Workers Overpaid, and CBO Agrees  ” Salaries and benefits–for identical jobs–are 30 percent to 40 percent higher in the federal government than in the private sector.”

BTW…headed to a Heritage Foundation dinner tonight with Dinesh D’Souza speaking!

That’s it….the CBO must be racist!  Racist Congressional Budget Office Declares Obamanomics a Flop | All American Blogger  ”I know I’m at risk of being called a racist, but since I am a white man and therefore racist, I don’t really hesitate in saying that the fault lies at the feet of the president and his far left economic philosophy.”  LOVE the sarcasm in this piece!!!

Did I say….it’s getting interesting?  How Obama’s Eligibility Fiasco Poses Trouble For Dems | Western Journalism.com  ”If Georgia’s Secretary of State says Obama is off the ballot, it will set in motion a scary domino effect that will devastate down ballot Democrats.”  Then there’s this:  Obama eligibility challenges spread to 6 states  ”Whatever the outcome in Georgia, the issue is gaining traction in other states, too, including Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona, New Hampshire, and even Illinois, Obama’s home political base.

Romney wins Florida, Newt & Santorum vow to fight on.  Let’s hope they listen to Dick Morris.  

TMI!  TMI!  FLOTUS $50k shopping spree shuts down Madison Avenue. Update: WH says nonsense – Common American Journal  ”First Lady Michelle Obama has apparently given British lingerie label Agent Provocateur a boost after a lavish spending spree last year.”  YIKES!  This story may or may not be true…but I don’t like the visual.

Some good news.  House GOP closer to vote on making English the official language – TheHill.com  ”Republicans believe a vote on the bipartisan measure would put the Obama administration on the defensive. President Obama voted against the effort when he served in the Senate.”

Yeah….they’re just like the Tea Party.  Obama Supported Occupy Thugs Throw Condoms on Catholic School Girls | All American Blogger  ”Demonstrators from the Occupy Wall Street movement threw condoms on Catholic schoolgirls, refused to allow a Catholic priest to give a closing prayer, and shouted down a pro-life speaker at a Rhode Island right to life rally on Thursday, according to its organizer.”

Final Thought:  ”We have run out of places in the US to drill for oil.”  Obama’s oval office speech in June 2010

GOD BLESS AMERICA – PASS THIS ON – REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!!

I’ve Decided to Vote for a Democrat!!!!

HDR NEWS ALERT – FINALLY A CANDIDATE WHO GETS IT!

Vermin Supreme promises free ponies for everyone and has a zombie energy program. Even though these stances were compelling, I was unsure because of his affiliation with the Democrat Party and his support of the OWS crowd. Then, I learned he was for mandatory toothbrushing!!! Woo Hoo – you had me at “gingivitis” Mr. Supreme!  

Hump Day Report: The Lonely Life of Barack Obama

ALOHA, ALL!  So here we are in 2012….FINALLY!  I only made one resolution for this year, and that is to do all I can to get Barack 0bama out of the White House.  He left Hawaii Monday and isn’t’ wasting any time getting back to work – campaigning:  Obama Returns to Campaign Trail After Hawaii Vacation: Next Stop, Ohio   We don’t need a perpetual campaigner  - we need a leader in the White House.

He vants to be alone.   I’m sure the NYT thought this piece would be another of their complimentary diatribes about Barry, but it’s had the opposite effect.  Do we really want a President who “keeps Congress and official Washington at arm’s length”? NYT: Obama’s kind of a White House recluse « Hot Air  He’d rather campaign with TOTUS as his BFF, speaking in front of all his adoring fans than do his real job.  Hubby wrote the following letter to the Star Advertiser about the story, but (surprise!) they didn’t publish it.  Probably didn’t want to upset Barry while he was on vacation here.  After all, he needed to golf, work out and eat shave ice:

With regard to your front page report (12/29) of President Obama’s isolation in office: A business for which I consult once hired a highly-touted “relationship manager” to lead its sales team. We soon learned that he didn’t like the salesmen and product managers and was overtly avoiding them. Such similar attitudes and hermit-like behavior may help explain President Obama’s inability to lead Congress. In our case, sales foundered until the bosses replaced this individual with someone who was a better fit for the job.

It was a barn burner in Iowa last night!  Truly, the “winner” was Rick Santorum….but if you go by the caucus votes, it was Mitt Romney (by 8 votes over Santorum.)  Holy Moly!!!  And the tie goes to… Rick Santorum The Loft  BREAKING NEWS:  Bachmann quits race, says she’ll fight for issues 

Did you happen to see the Rose Parade Monday?  The OWS crowd had a float.  Yep, those fine, upstanding citizens who camp out, litter, defecate and hate were allowed to participate.  And what did they choose for their float?  Check this out:  American Power: ‘Occupy’ Crashes Rose Parade: Attacks ‘Corporate Greed’ With 70-Foot Nazi-Era Octopus Depicting Global Jewish Conspiracy  Here’s video of the lovely squatters marching in the parade:  

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm….now kids are singing the praises of OWS in school:   Third Grade Students at Albermale School in Virginia Write Occupy Wall Street Song 

Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength (or “PMFFS” – not really, just made up the acronym) ”Recently in Washington DC a group of self-described “rich” and “one percenter” political activists gathered to ask Congress to raise their taxes. The call themselves the Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength. The idea is that they believe they’re under taxed, and want the government to take more from them to fund the government.

So the folks at the Daily Caller talked to some of the “activists” and asked them if they’d be willing to make a donation to the US Treasury on the spot. And, showing what utter hypocrites they are, they refused. Because it’s not about them paying more. It’s about the government forcing other people to pay more.”Say Anything » Patriotic Millionaires For Higher Taxes Turn Out Not To Be So Patriotic After All » Say Anything

This video is a riot!  

Hey….look who’s the EPA’s financial advisor!  MF Global Chief   ”Even as he finds himself the public face of a bankruptcy and admitted to lawmakers that he had no idea how client funds disappeared, Congress and the administration have voiced no public concern about Mr. Abelow’s role advising the $8.6 billion government agency on its finances.”  Well gee – isn’t that special?

I like this analogy from HDR reader Don:

Here’s another way to look at the Debt Ceiling – Let’s say, You come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood….and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.  What do you think you should do?

1. Raise the Ceilings, or

2. Pump out the sewage

Hump Day Report: A Not-So-Super Idea

ALOHA, ALL!!  Surprise!  The so-called “Super” Committee failed to come to an agreement over how to solve the debt crisis.  Did anyone doubt that it was set up to fail from the beginning?  (If you did then I have some beautiful ocean-front property to sell you in Hawaii for $100.)  So now what?  It’s obvious that the plan to include the automatic defense cuts was no fluke – Barry and his comrades want to gut our military.  (If you doubt that, I have some beautiful ocean-front property to sell you in Hawaii for $1000.  Yes, the price is going up.)  In the days to come, we’ll learn more about what went on at those  ”Super” meetings, but here’s a guess:  Dems wanted to raise taxes and not touch entitlements.  In fact, were entitlements even on the table with either party?  Here’s the best article I’ve seen so far on this “Super” failure (thanks to Lee for the link):  Defenseless:  America in the 21st Century  And lest you forget:  

And you thought he was gone.  Van Jones Reveals Future of #Occupy Wall Street: ‘You Haven’t Seen Anything Yet’ – Common American Journal  ”Van Jones offered a prediction Wednesday for those who have been watching the Occupy Wall Street movement: “You haven’t seen anything yet.”  

First he punted on the Keystone XL pipeline, now this:  Obama Bows to Environmentalists; Says “No!” to New Energy Production, Putting Off Creation of 204,500 New Jobs « The Stuttering Messiah  ”President Obama’s United States Department of Agriculture has delayed shale gas drilling in Ohio for up to six months by cancelling a mineral lease auction for Wayne National Forest (WNF). The move was taken in deference to environmentalists, on the pretext of studying the effects of hydraulic fracturing.”

Once again, it pays to be a FOB (Friend of Barry).  Buffett may benefit from Keystone XL pipeline delay – Common American Journal  ”Killing the Keystone XL pipeline may help one of the world’s richest men get richer. North Dakota’s booming oil fields will now grow more dependent on a railroad the president’s economic guru just bought.”

This Russian news reporter speaks for a lot of us!  

Turkey Talk.  I got this from a friend who is not a goof-ball.  So be aware when buying that Thanksgiving bird:  Please be aware that Butterball turkeys are halal certified. We received a turkey from Bob’s employer that is a Butterball & Bob saw something about Butterball being halal certified. He went to the Butterball website & it is true. We returned the turkey for a generic. Publix refused to take the turkey back for an exchange so her went to Winn Dixie & they willingly exchanged it for us.

Halal certified means that when the turkey is killed the butcher must be Islam sane & utter worship words to Allah that I do not know how to spell. Then a muslim prayer must be said over the carcasses as well. Not sure how to spell- a bismuh? The throat is cut- carotids, jugulars & trachea all @ once.  Not to gross anyone out, but I am finding more & more halal certified meat @ the store & I refuse to buy it. I refuse to give retailers any money that participate in this if I can help it.

Check out this article from Pamela Geller:  Articles: Happy Halal Thanksgiving.  Indeed.  I found this site:  IFANCA: Halal Food Certification  ”Welcome to IFANCA, the leading Halal-food certification organization in North America. Halal certification gives companies access to Muslim consumers. IFANCA’s Halal Symbol (the Crescent ‘M’) helps Muslims in choosing their goods, assured that what they are buying is Halal without doubt.”  And  ”Halal Certification is the process of having a qualified independent third party supervise the production of consumables, attesting that they were produced in conformity with the preparation and ingredient standards of the halal lifestyle.”  Seriously?  What is the “halal lifestyle”?  From now on, I am boycotting ANY products that have this certification.  Look for this:

If you watch one debate, make it this one!  GOP Candidates to Debate Foreign Policy, National Security  ”Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, eight Republican presidential candidates will take the stage at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., to tell America where they stand on foreign policy and national security in a special debate hosted by The Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, broadcast on CNN and moderated by Wolf Blitzer.”

Final Thought:  ”Don’t assume you’re always going to be understood. I wrote in a column that one should put a cup of liquid in the cavity of a turkey when roasting it. Someone wrote me that ‘the turkey tasted great, but the plastic cup melted.’ “Hints from Heloise

Hump Day Report: Jumping The Shark, Biting The Dust

ALOHA ALL!!  Like you, I’ve heard the expression about “jumping the shark” numerous times in the past.  Interesting that it originates from the entertainment industry and initially was meant to describe a TV show that had lost its luster:  Jumping the shark – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  Well, it looks like the absurd reality show that is Occupy Wall Street has indeed jumped the shark.  OWS has not only jumped the shark, but has been eaten alive and self-lysed.  Bit the dust.  They tried to shut down Wall Street yesterday, but 200 of them were arrested instead.  What a bunch of idiotic, useless lefties.  In reality, I was hoping the (bowel) movement known as Occupy Wall Street would go  on a bit longer, disrupting everyday life to an even greater degree.  Then Americans would realize that they were either with this group of anarchists or completely against them.  No namby-pamby “I’m not sure” as an option.  Here’s something much more productive than OWS – how about a video of Fonzie really jumping the shark?  Will he make it?  Does Joanie love Chachi?  Does Zuccotti Park smell worse than a New York City subway station?  

More dust biting.  Beacon Power follows Solyndra into bankruptcy « Hot Air  ”At the end of last month, I wrote about Beacon Power, a green-tech company that received over a hundred million dollars in taxpayer-backed credit but who teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. Yesterday, Beacon tipped over, filing for protection from its creditors — and potentially taking $43 million in taxpayer dollars with it.”

Meanwhile, back on the newly discovered planet “Buffoonery.” Maxine Waters on Occupy Wall Street | Video | TheBlaze.com  ”For Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the string of deaths and crimes that have occurred across the Occupy movement nationwide is nothing more than “life” and “it happens.” She also said the incidents are merely a “distraction” from the Occupiers’ ultimate goal.”

LOVE this idea!  National Day of “Doing Crap that Actually Matters”  ”On Friday, November 18th, call your LOCAL officials and let them know that you no longer want these anti-freedom, anti-capitalism, anti-liberty, anti-work, anti-American people keeping you out of YOUR public spaces. No longer do you want them influencing YOUR children. No longer do you want them messing with YOUR country.”

Sure wish it was Cut, Cap & Balance.  GOP House Will Vote on Balanced Budget Amendment That Permits Unlimited Federal Spending   ”House Republicans are set to vote later this week on a balanced budget amendment (BBA) that would not cap federal spending as a percentage of GDP or require a supermajority to raise taxes.”  The Blue Dog Democrats are on board:  Blue Dogs break with Dems on balanced-budget amendment – TheHill.com  And it looks like The Heritage Foundation agrees with me – where are the spending cuts?  How Not to Advance a Balanced Budget Amendment

Yes, we need to balance the budget, but we also need a cap on government spending (except for defense – see the Quick Link about China below.)

Thanks to Rep Cathy McMorris Rodgers for the graphic!

Hump Day Report: Obama, The Fly Whisperer

ALOHA, ALL!!  I know you’ll enjoy this illustration.  It’s another great depiction from Antonio Branco and needs no explanation.  But don’t you recall flies swarming around Barry in an interview not too long ago?  In fact, he actually caught one of them.  But that’s not the only encounter Barry’s had with flies:  What’s this creepy thing with Obama and flies? « The Stuttering Messiah  Now the mystery is solved!!  Antonio’s cartoon shows why they’re attracted to him.

We don’t need no stinkin’ jobs!   This is priceless – Accuracy in Media went down to the OWS utopia in D.C. as “headhunters,”  telling people that they were hiring.  You MUST listen to the excuses for not wanting jobs.  And be sure to watch to the very end to find out the result of their employee search.  

Teachers are doing OK.  Study: Public school teachers aren’t underpaid – Common American Journal  ”…new research from The Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute suggests a majority of public school teachers are making more than they likely would in the private sector.”

AN IMPORTANT HOLIDAY MESSAGE FROM A TRUE PATRIOT!  Most of us can’t imagine what it must be like far from home during the Holiday Season.  That’s because someone else has made that sacrifice for us.

This year, Eagles UP is introducing our holiday “Picture This” initiative, where everyone can participate in sending our troops our warmest holiday wishes.  It will mean so much to our deployed heroes in Afghanistan.  Everyone can participate – families, individuals, civic groups, the football team, the local deli employees, your church group or synagogue – everyone…all you need is a camera and holiday spirit!

Simply snap a picture of your best holiday cheer and email it to me at USMCdaughter1@aol.com.  It will become part of a slide show that will be sent to Afghanistan and shown in the DFAC of a major base there.  If you’d like to include a brief message, I’ll be sure to insert it into the photo.  Imagine seeing the faces and smiles of so many who support them from back home.  Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas take a different dimension.  A copy of the slideshow will also be shown on our website during the month of December.

So, take your picture, email it to me in either .jpg or .bmp format and send your love and appreciation to our troops far away this holiday season!!

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.)

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

 GOD BLESS AMERICA – PASS THIS ON – REMEMBER IN 2012!!
