Odds and Ends

The alleged recovery from the Great Recession is failing. The stock market is falling, states are deeply in debt while tax receipts continue to decline, the federal government is trying to keep the recovery going by printing and borrowing money and unemployment is increasing. The global economy is drifting towards deflation, depression and, ultimately, collapse.
Governments are desperately moving imaginary money around trying to keep the Ponzi scheme from collapsing but the game can't continue. No one believes a word falling from a bureaucrats quivering lips. The jig is up and everyone knows it.
What can anyone do about it? Nothing at this point. It has gone too far for too long.

The United States of America became a failed state last week when the federal government announced that they wouldn't take custody of illegal aliens handed over to ICE for deportation. Any nation that fails to enforce it's own border and laws is no longer a functioning nation. The bickering by states reveals that we anything but united.
The federal government has sided with Mexico and against Arizona with regard to illegal immigration. Several Mexifornian cities are basically in a state of civil war with Arizona, engaging in economic warfare with an american state.
Tis interesting to me that more folks don't clearly see that the democrat controlled federal government and many urban areas have abandoned the Constitution and law to join some UN inspired, socialist one world entity that makes up rules as it goes. And this entity encourages slavery, as that is what illegal immigrants and beneficiaries of the welfare state become.
The United States of America is gone and can only be restored by a civil war. And That won't happen.

In Winter it is difficult to determine ruins because the snow obscures the details. But Spring brings growing grass which highlights the abandoned structures. I have never seen so many overgrown lawns on residential and commercial properties in my life. Grass stands over a foot tall on properties throughout the county. In some cases you can find three or four adjacent properties that are clearly abandoned that would have fetched $150,000 just four years ago. Now they are rotting ruins that the banks don't even consider worth saving.

It is as if some great plague swept the land, killing twenty percent of the population and making these homes and businesses unnecessary. Where have the people gone who once worked and lived in these ruins? How does it serve mankind that we allow these buildings that were built at great cost to just rot away until they have to be bulldozed to preserve public safety and health?

I am disappointed and saddened by the systematic collapse of our civilization. We have failed ourselves, our ancestors and our children.

It now appears that North Korea attacked and sank the South Korean corvette Cheonan. Another victory for ruthless thugs and a defeat for the West. Our tyrant's response shows that he embraces thugs and despises free people everywhere.
Iran will develop and deploy nuclear weapons in the near future with Russian help. The West will do nothing to thwart this program. Iran will become the guarantor of muslims globally insuring the world becomes a more barbaric place.
The US and NATO will withdraw from Afghanistan, leaving the place in the hands of Taliban thugs that will continue to export drugs and terrorism. Bin Laden was correct. The West is weak and will topple.

Mad Governing Skilz

Sheesh, I just can't keep up. And more and more, I just don't want to keep up. The DOW closed today just shy of 11000 even with news that the US monthly budget deficit in April was 4x higher than forecast and tax receipts were way down from last year. No wonder considering that 20% of america's workforce is sitting around on the dole.

Oh, and a couple polls suggest that the recovery has stalled since US manufacturing is almost flat and economic activity is flat according to trucking data. Employment can't increase until the economy grows at a 15% rate! In other words, NEVER under this regime.

Then the CBO reported today that Obumbacare would cost more than $1T in the next decade. Since the dictator said he would veto portions of his health care legislation that approached the magical $1T, it looks like this economic vampire will have to veto parts of his own freakin bill. Indiana is discussing dumping Medicaid because of unfunded federally mandated costs that would break the state budget.

And three polls confirm that 2/3 of americans support Arizona's immigration law (which, incidently is US law that isn't enforced at all). But that won't stop the US Senate from introducing their AMNESTY bill. Nope.
This Congress is ignoring american voters and doing as it pleases.

Greek unions plan to strike on May 20 to rescind the EU/IMF rescue plan and restore the worker's paradise in the birthplace of democracy. Like Obumba and the bolsheviks in Congress they know that being broke is no reason to stop spending like crazy.

So I don't understand Wall Street's optimism. I'm not optimistic. Are you?

There Ain't No "us" Anymore

This afternoon dictator Obuma spoke at a commencement ceremony where he decried anti-government rhetoric. The sociopath said, "government is us." I wonder who this "us" is because I don't believe that their is an "us" anymore.

I can't relate to many people living in this country at all. The shameless sluts who have children out of wedlock and expect me to support her and them. The drugged lay-abouts who father children only to abandon them. The self-centered homosexuals who exclusively define themsleves by their perverted behaviors. The criminals who demand their rights under State of Law yet live under State of Nature. Foreigners here only to plunder the economy then send their earnings "home". Trade Unionists who only care that they get all they can while destroying the economy. Elites that use their power to tell everyone else what to do, where to do it and when it can be done. No, I can't relate to any of those people at all. Nor would I want to.

Obuma said, " Government is the roads we drive on and the speed limits that keep us safe. It's the men and women in the military, the inspectors in our mines, the pioneering researchers in public universities." True enough, but government has decided that is far more than that. It has become the transfer of wealth, the arbiter of abnormal behavior, treason to the ideals and intent of the Constitution and a tyranny by the few. Perhaps the government is still good but not when run by the tyrants controlling it today.

This government has been hijacked by people who are not "us" but them. As they say, the ones we have been waiting for. I do not consider Obuma, Reid, Pelosi, Van Jones, Dodd, Frank and the rest of the perverted leadership of this government to be part of any "us". The "us" that I have known do not steal people's money and livlihood, destroy families, engage in perverted acts, undermine the defense of the nation, embrace thuggish dictators nor order people around like slaves.

I have paid my way and lived a principled life. I never asked for more than roads to drive on and common defense against those who would destroy us. If you want to live in a commune, puff peckers, become a dope addict, slut around and have illegitimate children or be lazy and not work, fine. Do it. I won't stop you from living an unprincipled life. But I won't pay for it. And I won't consider you as part of "us".

I believe the days of "us" and compromise are over. Apparently the current leadership of the country does as well, because they are prepared to ram change down our throats just like Obuma did to Larry Sinclair. Well, I ain't Larry and I got me a Constitution. I don't want to be part of your us. I'm done with your "compromise", which consists of you telling me what I get. Violate our Constitution and "us" will make you regret your treason.

Government Pretends to be Useful...Again

The dictator has ordered SWAT to stop the oil spill in the Gulf. Are they gonna yell at it, shoot it or just take it into custody? The full weight of the US government is freaking useless against this accident. All the government can do is point the finger of blame and watch as the spill continues. But appearances are everything in this modern world, so the politicians must appear to be angry, use crisis language while accomplishing absolutely nothing...as ususal.

Although I love brown pelicans, the human impact will be just another reason not to drill off the coast. This will lead to further dependence on foreign oil with it's trade deficeit problems. Just another nail in the coffin for america.
