JUNK DRAWER

                                                    

For every vignette that finds its way to post, there are countless other topics and news items that I sorely wish to address but cannot find the time to write about. Some tidbits of information just scream for my attention and in so much as I would love to quit my job, stop bathing and become a recluse, I must none the less portion my efforts to jive with my available time schedule. I should have married money. The ever mounting pile of mental junk files orbiting my nugget has become burdensome and must be defragged so I can once again remember the names of my children. Allow me to offer you the following brief but poignant snippets of valuable information which I am drawn to share. For those of you who like speed dating, this is your piece baby…..

Congressional Black Caucus member and Democratic Representative Andre Carson spoke recently at an event in Miami. While commenting on the Tea Party he made the following statement, “Some in Congress would love to see us as second class citizens and some of them in Congress right now of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and me hanging from a tree.” ……..This in my opinion is what happens when your political philosophy is so discredited that you can’t even make a coherent argument for it any longer.

A fantastic show of clandestine cooperation between the network news reporters and the front Offices of both the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers has blown up in their faces. Many of you have heard about the ugly brawls, bathroom beatings and violent stabbings that occurred during the August 22 preseason game between these two bay area football teams. You no doubt listened to countless pundits and public safety ninnies who wrung themselves inside out in an effort to explain this rash of violence at Candlestick Park. Now let me tell you what the team’s spokespersons and liberal media reporters didn’t tell you. It was, “National Mexican Heritage Appreciation Day” at the Raider-Niner game. Ticket and beer prices were slashed and Latino’s were heavily marketed for attendance at this game. Apparently they did not specifically ask that the nortenos and surrenos Mexican gangs call a one day truce to their lifelong pissing match. For those who may not be aware. Surrenos are southern California based and associate their gang strongly with the number 13 which is the letter M, the thirteenth letter in the alphabet and stands for Mexican Mafia. Nortenos are primarily northern gang members and associate with the number 14, which is the letter N for Norteno, Nuestra Familia and Northern Structure. The brawl that occurred in the stands broke out in Section 13. Oh My! Get it? I can understand that this would be somewhat sensitive and nobody would want to impugn the dignity of the proud Mexican Heritage, especially during an event where they are honoring their own, but is it to much to ask for reporters to simply report and let us draw our own conclusions? I know that a few bad apples can cast a pawl over and detract from the magnificence of a great event, but we the viewers know that too and don’t wish to be spoon fed our news in doses of truth mixed in with omission. I sometimes believe that the Old Russian propaganda newspaper, “Pravda” was more open and legitimate then the American press is these days.

That giant sucking sound you hear coming from Southern California is the massive monthly payout to illegal immigrants incurred by the County of Los Angeles. According to L.A. County’s Department of Social Services, 52 million dollars goes out for food stamps and welfare costs to illegals each month! 600 million dollars a year. Nationally the total is around 22 billion. That does not take into account the additional 500 million spent on health care for illegal aliens. If we could only find a way to balance the budget. Everybody think real hard!

The great Political Migration has started and is gaining momentum. New census numbers show citizens fleeing by the millions from liberal states and flocking in comparable numbers to bastions of rightwing sentiment. The biggest losers in terms of residents lost were the prominent redoubts of progressivism: California, New York, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey. The biggest winners in the relocation sweepstakes are all commonly identified as “red states” in which republicans generally dominate local politics: Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia. This shift in national demographics has rearranged the playing field for the upcoming presidential election. New York and Ohio both lost two electoral votes. Texas meanwhile gained a whopping 4 electoral votes. If liberal approaches work so well, why are so many people choosing to pack their bags and leave?

President Obama’s uncle was arrested last Friday for suspicion of drinking and driving after he narrowly missed striking a police patrol vehicle just outside of Boston. Onyango Obama is a half brother to the president’s late father and is being held without bail, subject to an immigration order. When asked if he would like to make a call to arrange bail, Onyango, 67, told law enforcement at the scene, “I think I will call the White House.” I wonder how that worked out.

It was 26 years ago last May that Philadelphia Police literally bombed a house and its occupants out of existence. After a protracted standoff with a black radical pro-revolution group called MOVE, who had holed themselves up in a fortified house on

Osage Avenue

and fired at police, the decision was made to drop a bomb onto the house from a helicopter. The house was destroyed and eleven people were killed, including five children. The ensuing fire gutted 61 houses and flattened the entire neighborhood. I don’t care how dangerous the people in that house were, I hope I never hear about law enforcement bombing its own citizens ever again. A dark moment for a proud profession. In case you didn’t know.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker recently attempted to visit Messmer Preparatory Catholic School, a “choice school”, one that allows parents to opt out of the public school system. Union thugs showed up and glued the school’s doors shut and vandalized other parts of the institution in order to prevent the Governor from completing his visit. Why? The unions in Wisconsin fear these schools not because they don’t educate children but because they eat into the unions control over schools and children. Indiana has a similar program, where a voucher program has thousands of children heading to private schools, and administrators are begging parents not to leave. Lawsuits are being threatened by the anti voucher crowd and it’s the teachers union that wants to do it. Because when students leave public school, public school teacher positions will get eliminated. Of course, an influx of students into private schools will mean more jobs for teachers in the private market, but the union doesn’t control the employers in that sector like they do in the public system. Teachers would have to demonstrate competence and effectiveness longer the just achieving tenure. The union thugs want to protect their cash flow and can’t compete with the private market so they try to delegitimize it, claiming that the parochial schools that are getting the lion’s share of the students and are some kind of threat to the American public. They don’t seem concerned at all about the children…………..

Enough for now………………..Defrag complete.
