Dictator 101: How to go around the Constitution
Nobody Reports
President Clinton did this: He went around Congress by giving the Commerce Department the power to transfer many of our military secrets to China. Before that, China was 40 years behind us in the nuclear race. Now they can nuke any American city thanks to Bill Clinton.
That was high treason. They impeached him for the wrong reason. Looking back, the Monica scandal might have just been the cover up for the real crime.
And Obama, as we are seeing today with the Benghazi scandal, IRS, and tapping of the phones of the press…is just like Clinton. He has been doing gun running in Mexico, and the middle East. He went into Libya without Congressional consent.
And now, he is grabbing complete control of our schools. According to Stanley Kurtz, this is how he did it:
From Spreading the Wealth
One: Instead of asking Congress to appropriate money in support of your new education policy, thereby provoking public discussion of the issue, insert the funding for your key education initiative in a massive stimulus package, passed rapidly with virtually no debate even on economic policy, much less education. That is precisely how President Obama procured the $4.35 billion to be used solely at the Department of Education’s discretion for his Race to the Top Initiative.
Two: Now that you’ve got a huge pile of money free from congressional constraints and even public debate, use it as a lure to move the country’s education system toward a federally controlled curriculum. Make the willingness to adopt a national Common Crone a ritual condition of receiving Race to the Top grants, even before the standards and curriculum before finalized.
Three: Orchestrate the creation of a national curriculum and standards fro the White House while denying central control. Recruit publicly unaccountable groups like the National Governors Association to sponsor the project. Bring in the massively wealthy Gates Foundation for funding add supervisor. Obama is making cash strapped states an offer they can’t refuse. So they “volunteer” for the program.
Education is Constitutionally in the hands of the states. What Obama is doing deserves impeachment.
Will they impeach him for his many crimes?
Don’t count on it. But, if you have children in school, you will have to keep close watch on what they are learning.
Nobody Flashes: Don’t Read Old Magazines
Nobody Flashes
I was throwing out an old magazine today, and it had some interesting ‘fun facts’ about St. Louis. (I live in a northern suburb.)
The book was published in 1998. Here’s a copy of a list of employment facts for 1998:
St. Louis Largest Single Employers Ranked by Number of Employees:
More than 10,000:
1. Boeing co. /2. BJC Health system/ 3. Unity Health System /4. Schnucks Markets Inc./ 5. U.S. Air Force
This year, 2013, Boeing has lost half it’s employees, and the U.S. Air Force is GONE: Schnucks market just suffered a vicious cyber attack. It’s family owned. The hospitals are still standing.
5,000-9,999 Employees
1. Washington University /2. SSM Healthcare System /3. Southwestern Bell Telephone /4. Trans World Airlines/ 5. Chrysler Corp. Assembly /6. St. Louis University/ 7. May Department Store Co./ 8. St. Louis Public Schools/ 9. NationsBank/ 10. U. S. Postal Service
Washington University used to be the leader in Medical research and science. Now, most of the courses are in Social Science. The cost is $40.000 a semester. Trans World Airlines: GONE. Southwestern Bell…not exactly Apple. Chrysler is GONE. May Department Store went bankrupt, GONE. The U.S. Postal Service is on its way out. But the school system has grown by leaps and bounds.
2,000-4,999 Employees
1 General Motors Corp. Assembly /2. Anheuser Busch Companies Inc./ 3. Deaconess Incarnate World Health Systems./ 4. Olin Corp /5. At & T
General Motors Corp: GONE. Anheuser Bush was sold to an international buyer. Southwestern Bell…not exactly Apple.
The Olin corporation which makes ammunition is moving it’s operation to Mississippi where there is union-free work.
So after the devastation, what is left? I have watched my city die. And I’m NOT supposed to be depressed? If you are thinking of moving to St. Louis or Detroit:…don’t bother.
So, despite what Obama is telling you, the job market is gasping due to politicians. You’re life choice is slim unless you go into education or Health care or fast food.
Where do you think al the new illegal’s are going to get jobs?
Nobody’s Perfect: Massachusetts VS Sheila Jackson
Nobody’s Perfect:
When it comes to stealing taxpayers money, we have two very close contestants this week.
FIRST: That lovable I’m black and I’m proud queen of the chamber potty-mouth: Sheila (I’ll slap your mama) Jackson.
It seems the good representative of Texas likes to travel…and she wanted to travel the world to visit all the communists countries—at our expense:
According to the House Committee on the Judiciary — Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Tex., “traveled around the world on an official trip in February that cost American taxpayers $23,646. led by Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., — traveled first to Seoul and Hanoi in South Korea and then to Cambodia—But as Cooper noted Monday, Lee didn’t travel with CODEL. While other members of the delegation traveled together for the Feb. 16-22 trip, Lee took separate commercial flights to the region, and then left early on another commercial fight through Frankfurt Germany to explore ways they could “assist the region on child welfare reform and international adoptions.” Lee routinely upgrades her airline seats to first class.
Sheila evidently is a queen of righteous discontent if she isn’t treated like royalty, or Obama’s ugly step-sister. Not only does she insists she is chauffeured exactly ONE block from work to her apartment, (200 paces) she’s been known to throw hussy fits on planes if they don’t have the food she wants. There was a report that one time she got really angry when she found the menu didn’t include a seafood special she wanted.
“Don’t you know who I am? I’m Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Where is my seafood meal? I know it was ordered!”
Nobody Knows how many couples in Texas want to adopt babies from Vietnam, but you would think that it would be low on the totem pole of Texas concerns.
Yes, We have wasted a lot of money on Sheila, who flies first class everywhere. But let’s just say, for her last trip, it costs the taxpayers a rounded, $50,000 (Come on…You know they jiggle the figures)
And then there’s Massachusetts. To let everyone know they are decent and loving people, evidently Massachusetts likes to make terrorists so comfortable the killers of the Boston Marathon lead a very cushy life at our expense.
The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned. This has since expanded its probe to include a full history of the benefits received by the entire Tsarnaev family.
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect award this week?
You know, I have to say…Massachusetts. Liberalism is a disease, and people are dead and lives changed forever because of their stupidity.
What do you expect from a state who hatched Ted Kennedy?
But…oh you KNOW I really wanted Sheila to win and my only consolation is:
With Sheila Jackson you know, there will be a next time.
Nobody Cares About the ‘Criminal-in-Chief’ Reaction to Boston
Nobody Cares
Like most Americans, I’ve been listening to wall-to-wall coverage of the bombings in Boston, and as usual, scouting the websites for varying opinions…from the Alex Jones version of “FBI maybe setup this action” to the ongoing almost nauseating coverage of how brave Bostonians are…as Carl Sagan so rightly points out in his books, it’s best to take most things, even politics with as much skepticism as possible: So here’s a few Nobody’s Opinions:
**********
1. The FBI we have found out, could have prevented this if they had listened to Russia, but what happened? Personally, I think, simply by listening to Obama’s own philosophy on Muslims in America and his reaction to the Ft. Hood shootings— it’s the Obama administration that is holding back the FBI from doing their job. When I reported suspicions in my own neighborhood, the Chief of Police was very protective of my Muslim neighbors and told me to leave. The FBI agent, on the other hand, took me seriously, and then told me short of my seeing them load a bomb into the back of their vans, there was absolutely nothing he could do about them. Hazelwood, the city I live in, is a very democratic stronghold.
2. Throughout Benghazi we saw Hillary Clinton and Obama make statement after statement condemning a video that insulted Islam. That held priory over the attack and murder of our own citizens. Even at the funerals, Hillary was telling the grieving relatives, “We will punish the man who made the video.” The White House has let the matter go.
3. Obama has had the Muslim Brotherhood welcomed into the White House for the first time in history. He has opened the visa’s once again for Muslims to flood into our country. He has given speeches about Islam being peaceful, and America being the biggest Muslim nation–his political correctness goes beyond sanity.
In other words, it is Obama that is putting America in danger. The facts all point to that.
4. While the lock down of Boston, by all logical reasoning, seemed very necessary, the precedent it sets is alarming. To have tanks, and big thugs carrying real machine guns— having all those forces roaming the city streets, and having a shoot-out right in the neighborhood, should leave Americans gasping. While we heard all the regular, “Our police and military are great!” speeches, is this the future? Every time some guy goes wacko our cities will be filled with tanks to ‘protect’ us?
When will the tanks be brought out in Chicago? And despite all the money, equipment, and technology, the person who found the guy was a lone citizen who made a simple phone call.
I don’t know how many soldiers, cops, and FBI were in Watertown, but I wonder if all the people of Watertown will give up their freedom to be protected by the vast military complex that the Democrats seem to enjoy.
Yes…the Democrats will bring out the big guns before the Republicans will. Funny isn’t it? No it’s not, when you know that it is their policy to disarm Americans, and let the state protect you.
Let’s not forget, Bill Clinton’s action in Waco, and Janet Reno sending in the military in the middle of the night to send a poor immigrant child back to Castro. Can you even imagine George Bush doing that?
If a Republican had ordered this massive buildup in Boston, or stealing a child in the night by gunpoint, the Democrats would have been screaming.
Clearly, we can assume that the Democrats have no qualms of building Obama’s army…to “protect” us all.
As for Alex Jones and others listening to the mother saying the boys were used by the FBI..that is absurd. Islam and even the moderates that are Muslims, believe that everyone who is an infidel should be killed. She, by all accounts was lying.
It IS in their religion. Nevertheless…just because Alex makes mistakes on some things, he is right about there being a big military presence right near the bombing sites and has video and witnesses to prove it.
That is a piece of the puzzle that we shouldn’t ignore just because it’s from Alex Jones. Alex Jones reminds me of Glenn Beck, who sometimes, often makes big mistakes too.
Both are good guys. Both have opinions. We should listen to them all.
Should we blame everything on the FBI, who even before 9/11 warned the administration about a possible attack? Something is very wrong.
Bill Clinton once airlifted 80,000 Bosnians (Muslims) into the St. Louis. They have not attacked anymore, and nobody goes into their neighborhoods, which are in the city.
They were on our local news. Saying they love it here. So..until proven otherwise, we can take them at their word even though I don’t like the fact that we paid for them to get here with no consent from anybody who lives here…just a President’s wish.
But my Muslim neighbors who came down from Detroit….they don’t like America.
If Obama keeps letting these people in, (as they came in during Clinton’s’ time) maybe we should start questioning the Democrat’s reason for looking the other way when jihadist are let into the country.
Maybe…we should be asking them “Why?’
Or the question should be…how do THEY benefit from this “turn the other cheek” policy? Does it come down to helping get us to disarm?
After Boston, we should be demanding more answers:
Obama said this after the last suspect was arrested:
And that’s why we take care not to rush to judgment — not about the motivations of these individuals; certainly not about entire groups of people.
To which most Americans go —-WTF? The motivation was on their YouTube videos!
Obama ignores the facts, and we should ask him…why.
Nobody Cares that the most condemning facts all point to Obama’s philosophy. He is starting to look like: the “Criminal In Chief.” One thing we do know: whatever a politician does usually benefits himself.
Obama wants a civilian army: Bigger than the military. He as said so. We should take him at his word. 
Got Any Money in the Cyprus Bank?
Nobody Reports
If you are a poor British retired soldier, living out your life on the Island of Cyprus, you woke up and found out that the EU, decided it was running out of money, and so, they “taxed” your savings. They just reached inside your pocket like the good elite oligarchs they are, and grabbed what they felt they could.
If you are too late getting to the bank, the banks will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday because, they have a lot of pillaging to do.
Russian citizens account for the majority of the billions of Euros held in Cypriot banks by foreign depositors, and Russian banks are heavily exposed to the island as a favored offshore centre for big business. tired-looking Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, appeared to have lost track of the calendar and wished weary reporters a “happy St Patrick’s Day” a full day early. She made no reference to a deposit levy, talking only of “burden sharing.” Several EU officials blamed Anastasiades for insisting on low contributions from uninsured deposits, hurting his country’s small savers to protect wealthy depositors, many foreigners. Under the new proposal, smaller depositors with up to €100,000 would be taxed at 3%; savers with €100,000 to €500,000 would be taxed at 10%; and those with more than €500,000 at 15%. despite all the promises, your savings are vulnerable to arbitrary confiscation.
But have heart! Those deposits could have been rendered even more worthless when the ECB cuts off its funding to Cypriot banks, a decision which would — through devaluation and insolvency — lead to depositors losing as much as 60% of their money.
Well, it’s the same old song isn’t it? “We must all share the burden.” and “It could have been so much worse.” The elites of the world, who continue to tax and steal money from the rest of us, are basically saying: Hey…we only took off your legs..it could have been worse..we could have KILLED you!
In the meantime, Japan will begin pumping huge amounts of yen into the economy, and our own Federal Reserve is pumping money too.
There seems to be more to it than simply wanting money. It’s the Russians that are going to be hurt the most…because they are sending Naval ships to the region.
Russia is helping Syria, and are sending Navel ships into the area. Simply put… they can’t get into Syria as long as this money stream is flowing through Cyprus. And the reason Cyprus is suffering…is also due to a very expensive explosion in 2011 which cost them billions:
Ruskies have at least 50 billion euros stalled in Cyprus. They have open storage on the base were 98 containers of explosives that had been seized by the United States Navy in 2009 after it intercepted a Cypriot-flagged, Russian owned vessel, the MV Monchegorsk travelling from Iran to Syria in the Red Sea. According to leaked US cables through Wiki Leaks, released in 2011, the US through Hillary Clinton exerted pressure on Cyprus to confiscate the shipment. The ship was escorted to a Cypriot port and the Cyprus Navy was given responsibility for the explosives, which it moved to the Evangelos Florakis a month later. At the time of the incident in 2011, the explosives had apparently been left in the open for over two years. The Cypriot government had declined offers from Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States to remove or dispose of the material, having feared an adverse reaction from Syria. The government had instead requested that the UN effect the removal, but claimed that its request had been rejected.
While the average American doesn’t get much news about the EU…we can only imagine how we would feel if we woke up one day…went online, and found out our “savings” had been taxed.
Obama has been looking at a way to “borrow” from our 401K’sand Pensions plans. Could our government be thinking about doing the same thing?
After Obamacare, we’d be foolish not to think so.
Smile! You’re On Napolitano’s Camera!
Nobody Wins
When the big camera’s went up all over our highways here in Missouri, they went up overnight. Nobody on the local news even mentioned them.
Every city is having budget problems, but there seems to be plenty of money to put up camera’s at every stop light. Surely all this technology had to cost a pretty penny…so just where was this money coming from? No one on the local news ever talked about the expense.
I don’t know about you, but while people complained, what was told to the public was that traffic camera’s were being put up for our ‘safety,’ and still, not much was said about the cost.
Like everyone else, I just excepted it…until one day I was sitting at a stoplight, and I was the first car to make a left turn, and I was just waiting for the light… and FLASH!…right in my face.
Someone had just decided to take my picture. For no reason at all.
This has happened too many times, and I started noticing how often the camera’s were going off, when other cars were stopped. So, sometimes I drive with the sun flap down just to hide half my face. Having my picture taken like I was some sort of criminal really gets me…I would say angry, but pissed off is a better way of putting it.
When I told my husband that I thought they were taking pictures, he thought I was crazy.
BUT…..
Today, I heard a Missouri Senator on the DANA Show (See video) say that he had just found out, that they have been taking face recognition pictures and storing the pictures in a big data base, and by law, in Missouri, they cannot do that. It’s against the law. The Senators were lied to.
In fact, when you go to get your driver license, they are supposed to erase all information, but Sen. Schaefer had found out that they were storing all the data from the license bureaus and erasing none of it.
This republican Senator has introduced a bill to try to stop this face recognition technology, but our Governor…who IS a democrat, has to have known all along that all this information was being gathered and stored. Of course, like all the other liberals, he will say he didn’t know..and keep on doing it. The truth seems to be, that states have no rights in this matter. The FBI just got a billion dollars for the face recognition program.
State and local officials are increasingly granting the federal government access to their registry of motor vehicles databases and, thanks to a FBI program announced to the public in August 2012, deploying their own powerful face recognition tools. Zooming out to the bigger picture we find the mother of all biometrics programs, the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) — the biometrics databank to beat all biometrics databanks. It will contain fingerprints, iris scans, face recognition ready photographs, palm prints, DNA and innumerable other biometric data points on tens if not hundreds of millions of people, both US citizens and foreigners.
And that’s not all: Now, the President is giving the FBI full reign to look at everyone financial records.
(Reuters) – The Obama administration is drawing up plans to give all U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database that contains financial data on American citizens and others who bank in the country, according to a Treasury Department document seen by Reuters.
Once again, we are told it to look for criminals.
We need more Senators to stand up to this.
The Senator suggested we contact our congressmen and complain. It seems to me, it’s up to our “representatives” to take care of this. Anyway what can we do? We didn’t break the law. But data is being gathered and for what reason, I can only guess at.
Nobody Wins when we live in a “guilty until proven innocent” Orwellian society
But that’s exactly what they are building.
The Bush Family: Power Hungry Political ‘Crack’ Addicts…
Nobody’s Opinion
I hate to say it, but I will: I never liked George H.W. Bush the first. There was something almost pansy about him…and for those of us who were living when Ronald Reagan was President, Daddy Bush (I always call him Daddy Bush) was annoying in comparison. His high winy voice grated on me. I hated to watch him on TV. The “Read my lips” phrase that he made, was more than just a blunder, it was almost as bad as when Bill Clinton wagged his finger and said, “I did NOT have sex with that women.”
Condescending Presidents…Why do they get so uppity and snotty, and condescending? Reagan never did. He was gracious throughout his life. He believed in us, and we believed in him.
And like most people, I hate liars. When Daddy Bush launched the first Iraq War…he gave the excuse that it was a NOBLE ONE…to ‘protect the poor innocent Kuwait’s.’ A big bully Saddam was attacking his neighbor, and the U.S. was going in to help. Every single politicians uses that excuse every single time they send our boys somewhere….because we are a good people, and it works.
We should stop falling for it.
Back when Daddy Bush was President, I hadn’t read about the great deals that President’s had made during WWII….how the British, and the Americans helped carve up the middle East. The oil deals FDR made with the Sheiks of Saudi Arabia. I didn’t think about all that….I just listened to the “glory” of an American victory.
But I’m younger than that now. And when George W. Bush ran, eight years of the masterful lying Bill Clinton was so bad, George was easily elected. And then 9.11 and we’ve been at war since.
No one in the Bush administration went down for not protecting the skies over America. The lies they told about it…”We NEVER imagined”…yada, yada: …were almost criminal.
So, eight years of Daddy Bush, eight years of Bill Clinton, eight years of Daddy’s Bush son, eight years of Obama, and now…they want to add eight years of Jeb Bush. That’s 24 years with one family.
I don’t think I can take eight years more of Daddy’s Bush continuing dreams of globalization..and eight years is a long time in one life. Lots can happen in eight years. It’s almost like there’s a club of elites who just rotate the power…isn’t it?
Last week I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh program and a caller called in and was in despair: In his lifetime, he realized he would never live to see America come back to its sanity. Rush was agreeing with him but he insisted that we must think of the grandchildren.
WHY? Don’t we have a right to get it right for ourselves in our own liftime? To me…that was accepting defeat.
And that’s what seems wrong to many of us.
For instance: Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush has been on every single talk show he can think of: it’s said he is promoting his book, but there isn’t one reporter that cannot help but ask him if he is running for President. And if you notice, he got a big touchy about it when asked who was the better candidate from Florida to run for President, himself, or Marco Rubio.
“Man you guys are crack addicts, you’re really obsessed with all this politics,” Bush said.
Obviously, Jeb Bush wants to run for President. He had come out early simply because Rand Paul is making a nice entrance as a contender with the filibuster, and the GOP-Rhino’s have to get their boy out there. Both his father and his brother have come out publically on many occasions and said they want to see Jeb in the White House. So, Jeb wasn’t mad about being asked if he is going to run…just like a true politician, he can’t announce it now…timing is everything, but the sound of Marco Rubio’s name infuriated him.
I am sick of lying politicians: Just be honest and say you’re going to run. Don’t give us this, “I am going to do what’s best for my family and the country.” crap.
What’s best for the country, is not another Bush. (Or Obama or Hillary, OR Bill) Leave the place empty…good lord, that poor house needs to be aired out.
I remember Daddy Bush taking Jeb to see Obama in the White House…several times. I have said, and I still say: That what the liberals should be harping about is that the good old boy’s white man WASP club wanted to let a black man in the White House, because the truth being, they wanted Universal Health Care to pass, and amnesty and they didn’t want the GOP to be remembered as having passed it. Even Jeb Bush says that next to Obama, George W. Bush will be well thought of.
So…Daddy sees it as Obama will be SO bad, everyone will welcome Jeb just like they did George W.so many years ago because they were sick of Clinton. If Jeb had run last time, he would have lost.
For Jeb Bush to say that reporters are addicted to politics, while he is appearing on all their shows promoting himself to be the next President, while at the same time saying he is from the Reagan party…is so insidiously hypocritical, it’s almost laughable.
If anyone is an addict, it’s the Bush Family. They are so addicted to power, they plan to have President from their family clear up into the year 3000. . And the Bush Presidents, have just as much as Obama—- have helped to put America where it is today.
Too bad they don’t have Betty Ford power-rehab for politicians.
What do we do? We stand up for any Tea Party people we can…we keep on yelling, fighting, and get louder. And we should demand that the rich boys in Washington give power back to the people…and in our own lifetime..
Sorry Rush…if you can’t see that we deserve better in our own lifetime… then obviously, the Bush family is still sending you birthday cakes. And you will be leading the nation on the Jeb Bush for President pathway…
Don’t be surprised this time, if even more of us…stay home.
Nobody Wonders About John McCain and Linsey Graham
Nobody Wonders
Paul Rand did a good job yesterday filibustering on the Senate floor to make the point— that the fact that the President can use drones on American soil to kill just anybody he wants to, without permission from anyone, is unconstitutional and he is dead right. I didn’t see it, but by all accounts it was wonderful. 
So today Nobody Wonders why the whole Senate was not there giving him support…but instead, having dinner with the President?
Old guard Republicans were having dinner with the President. Let that sink in.
Nobody Also Wonders if George W. Bush would be supporting drone attacks on people here on our soil. Would he agree with the old Rhino’s? You bet he would.
Today, the established RHINO’s John McCain and Lindsey Graham have come out to ostracized Paul Rand for pulling such a stunt. They treated him as if he were a mere frat boy pulling a prank.
“The country needs more senators who care about liberty, but if Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms. He needs to know what he’s talking about,” said Mr. McCain, Republicans’ presidential nominee in 2008.
Mr. Graham said asking whether the president has the power to kill Americans here at home is a ludicrous question. “I do not believe that question deserves an answer,” Mr. Graham said.
Well gee…now we’re not even allowed to question. (Oh…term limits…term limits…term limits…term limits….)
And while the Rhino’s in the Senate are busy attacking the last lone guard to the Constitution, today we get the spiffy message that Dennis Rodman just made little Kim Jung Um madder. He is just dying to use his nukes:
“North Korea threatened to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on its “aggressors,” including the U.S., ahead of a United Nations vote on tougher sanctions against the totalitarian state for last month’s atomic A foreign ministry spokesman said: “Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest.”
Nobody Wonders how Senators can be so angry at a true patriotic Senator trying to hold back the tyrannical erosion of American liberties, and yet— be so silent about a man who has said he is going to nuke us?
And is the reason they are so bent on having killer drones over America is because they (Being the Rhino’s and the democrats who seem to be now one party) decided long ago to let millions of Mexicans flood the country to “fix our old-age population problem” thereby deciding the risk was worth the cost of letting in dangerous citizens from other countries with nuclear weapons?
Nobody Wonders every single day….if they are already here?
Or do they just want the power to rule as tyrants? And once again, Obama stays silent on a country with nukes threatening every single day to use them. Instead, he is planning another vacation.
Obama is the enemy we know. But John McCain is turning out to be a traitor. Maybe all those years in prison turned John into a sympathizer with his prison guards…a sympathizer with communism..
John McCain is starting to look like Jane Fonda…all he needs…is a boob job.
Nobody’s Got a Beef With Cable TV
Nobody’s Opinion
“Irresponsible spending” …that’s all we’ve been hearing every day, for the last four years. If you are like me, and you are the one who takes care of all the household bills, you can’t help but be very angry when you see John Kerry give $250 million dollars to Egypt, while we here at home, are being forced by our government to cut corners. 
And today, I have certain complaint that just gets me going: How to keep paying for Cable TV?
I can remember when my dad bought our first TV set. It was black and white, and I was completely bored with it, although I do remember watching my brother, every Saturday morning, sitting in front of it…watching cartoons while he ate a whole pan of Sara’s Lee’s chocolate cake.
And no, he never got fat. Back then, kids were outside the whole day, running around in the woods. We’d go home for supper. And back out again until dark. Parents back then didn’t have to worry about the kids being picked up by child molesters, or getting shot on the corner. We lived in a America that was free, and most kids had both a mom and a dad.
Someday…all birth certificates will say: Origin: Lab at UCLA… (Warning…Do not mix with methane )
But..I’m getting off the subject: which is…TV. Back then, television, was FREE! And that’s why I’m using my blog to complain about what I feel is another rip-off of the majority of Americans.
I don’t remember when Cable Television really got going, but I have tried all the cable providers offered here in Missouri, and they ALL do the same thing. They give you a deal when you first sign up with them, and then tell you…not much else. And most people don’t think to ask. (Like me)
It doesn’t matter whether it’s DISH, Direct TV, CHARTER, or AT &T, they are all the same: And I’ve had them all.
Now, like most Americans, with every passing month, I am trying to cut corners..simply because, while wages haven’t gone up since Bill Clinton bombed a pill factory, everything else that you need for daily living has. And budgeting is almost a daily chore.
Not too long ago, I dragged my husband to the local bank to refinanced our car from 4.0 (Which is all the dealership would give us) down to 1.0,…and I was real proud of myself to find out I’d be saving over $50 dollars a month on our car payments.
But..then I got my Direct TV bill. It went from $76.00 to $95.00 in one statement. The savings that I was getting from refinancing, just disappeared. That’s just…BUGS me—especially when there is NO reason for the rate increase…no extra stations, it’s all the same…they just felt like raising it.
“Why are my rates jumping up? I wasn’t told this would ever happen when I signed up!”
“Well, you have a DVR and your subscription is up.”“Okay…I had no idea I had a subscription.”
“Is this the last time…$95 is all I will ever pay?”
“Yes.”
(Sigh.) Here’s the problem. I know so many people who have figured out how to get free TV. They bounce off their neighbors, or they get HD antennas, and here I am going to be paying back up to $120 by next year, (Yes, I guess my 2nd subscription will be up by 2014) And I am paying twice the price in two years for the same service.
Every single cable company I have been with does this. Every single one. They let you slide for a year, then BAM. You’re screwed.
They do the same with cell phones.
Can somebody tell me what this is called? I can think of no other name but “rip-off.”
The very next day, after I was told that $95 would be the final price, I got a bill for $100.10
I called them up…
“Hey, the girl yesterday told me the price would never go up!”
“Well, in February the price of your DVR when up 3 dollars.”
“She said that was included in the price YESTERDAY!”
…..silence.
You see, what is so frustrating is: they don’t have to tell you a damn thing. You can quit if you like, they really don’t care.
I’m starting to wonder if I’d be happier to go back to being like it was when I was a kid. I hardly ever watched TV. And TV CAN be deadly. My mother had a stroke watching Bill Clinton, and my good friend Pattie told me she thinks that her husband suffered his heart attack due to the stress he was having with Charter. He had been fighting with them all day. To this day, she blames them for his early demise.
If that had happened to my husband, I would put his ashes on the mantle with a sign,
Here lies Charlie (not real name) killed by an encounter with Charter Communications.
I doubt if there is anyone in the country who has NOT gotten furious with a cable provider.
If so, speak up.
I’m not sure how to solve this problem, (all ideas are welcomed) but I am getting tired of the game. Somehow, 500 channels and more commercial time than actual program time s is getting old. There’s Netflix, I know, but I like to keep up on politics, and news, so I do want my cable. I love cable.
I just don’t like the lies, deception, and theft.
But then again…aren’t we all getting used to getting ripped off?
Nobody’s Perfect: Jesse Jackson Jr. VS the Meth Brothers
Nobody’s Perfect:
Jesse Jackson Jr. VS the Meth Brothers.
It’s not easy being green, or being the child of one of the most talented extortionist to ever walk in the halls of Congress, and Jesse Jackson Jr. in on the hot seat for not being a slick as his old man. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Jesse Jackson Jr.’s father says the ex-congressman is under “tight medical supervision” after being charged with misusing campaign funds.
“He is struggling with the highs and lows of his bipolar disorder,” Jackson Sr., the civil rights leader, told the Chicago Tribune in a statement.
The younger Jackson was formally charged Friday with misusing $750,000 in campaign funds. Federal documents show Jackson bought memorabilia that once belonged to Michael Jackson, Bruce Lee, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. He is also charged with using the funds to buy children’s furniture and a gold-plated men’s Rolex watch.
It’s got to be depressing to know you just don’t have the same talent at stealing and hiding money as your old man. I’d be depressed too, if someone had found out that what I thought was Michael Jackson’s glove had really belonged to Al Jolson.
Jesse is facing jail time, but right now, I’m sure his father is advising him to shut up, and swear to be sick. “This is a storm; within time, storms pass over,” he said.
Leave it to Dad to come to the rescue. 
And then we have two brothers, who won the lottery and had a blast spending the money…
Two brothers who were celebrating a $75,000 winning lottery ticket by purchasing marijuana and meth accidentally blew up their house on Friday, said Sgt. Bruce Watts of the Wichita Police Department.
The explosion sent one of the brothers – a 27-year-old – to the hospital, where he remains in serious but stable condition with second-degree burns on his hands, arms and chest.
The other brother was sent to jail, Watts said.
I’m not sure who wins the Nobody’s Perfect award this week, Jesse, or the two morons who blew up their house…but I’m sentimental. I think the two meth addicts had a disadvantage. They probably a fatherless childhood, unlike Jesse who HAD a dad, and all he had to do was watch the guy…and learn.
In the words of Bob Dylan, he was just “One too many mornings and a thousand miles behind.”
Jesse can only hope that he meets the two meth brothers someday in the same prison. Who knows WHAT they would do for a Rolex?
