Government Motors screws us again

Thanks to massive taxpayer bailouts, union intimidation, and extra-Constitutional political corruption in the Obama administration, Government Motors turned a $7.6Billion profit last year. You'd think the generous American people would get some of their money back, but you'd be wrong....

From FoxNews -- GM also said Thursday that its 47,500 blue-collar workers in the U.S. will get $7,000 profit-sharing checks in March. The checks are based on North American performance and are a record for the company.

Not only were the unions given the company from whom they extorted outrageously overpaid jobs, they're getting bonuses for being union thugs....well, not just for being union thugs, but also for donating millions to Obama and for block-voting for him.

If you buy a GM product, you are complicit in the outrage that is the continued existence of a badly run company that should have gone bankrupt three years ago.

Customs seizes scary hair dryers, ignores alien criminals

Our crack border protection division is hard at work protecting the US people from dangerous hair dryers, but finds it difficult to protect us from actual illegal alien criminals who waltz across the border unquestioned.

DHS secretary Janet Napolitano thinks these are dangerous enough to waste your money stopping them at the border....

She doesn't think these are dangerous enough to stop though....

What a joke our border protection department is. It brags about protecting us from scary hair dryers while letting guys like this come and go as they please.

Santorum's going to have trouble with women

This interview from 2006 is one reason Rick Santorum might have trouble getting modern women to vote for him....



"Harmful to women"? Does he mean physically or spiritually harmful? Either way, he comes off looking like a 17th Century tool who thinks every family should look like the Duggars. Don't think we won't see this interview clip played over and over the closer to the convention we get if Santorum is still standing. And if he wins the nomination, Obama and the media will have a field day clubbing Santorum with this archaic personal belief.

Egypt lurches toward extremism

As you may know, as a condition of the Camp David peace accords between Israel and Egypt brokered by Jimmy Carter, the US must every year, fork over what has grown to $1.2Billion in US taxpayer-funded aid to Egypt. That's never been a problem as long as Mubarak ruled Egypt. But now that Mubarak is gone, the Muslim Brotherhood won 50% of the recent voting and are sure to shift that country decidedly toward a more radical form of Islamism than under Mubarak. As a result, the US is threatening to withhold our aid as an incentive for Egypt's ruling authority, who ever that ends up being, to stay moderate and honor the peace accords.

In reply to our threats, the Muslim Brotherhood has warned the US that any cessation in aid would put in great jeopardy the peace agreement with Israel.

What is a meddling superpower to do? Do we stop the aid and hope it compels the citizens of Egypt to demand a moderate government that honors the Camp David accords, or do we cave to the Brotherhood's veiled extortion and keep sending the money, essentially participating in a protection racket on Israel's behalf?

Polls in Egypt indicate that around 70% of the citizens don't even want US aid any longer. Maybe we should withdraw it on those grounds.

Having said all that, if Egypt then, under the Brotherhood's direction, starts something with Israel and the whole Mideast gets entangled in a move against the "Zionist state", we cannot then go to Israel when the dust is settled and demand they give back all the land they just won like we did with Sinai which Israel won fair and square in 1967. Israel will likely own the Sinai Peninsula again, and who knows what other parts of various countries who attacked her, and I doubt she'd again relinquish that won land anyway.

To the victor go the spoils.

The Occupy drones protest at CPAC

Our feckless media would have us believe that the Occupy protests and CPAC protests should be taken seriously as legitimate voices of the oppressed, but these retards don't even know what they're protesting about? This is from TheDailyCaller via Moonbattery....



Ask any TEA Party activist to explain why he or she is marching or attending a rally or protesting something and you'll get a well-reasoned, logical defense of the Constitution and argument for limited government. I have yet to hear a single Occupy moron be able to regurgitate a single salient talking point about what they oppose or support.

These soapless idiots and union members were paid $60/day to come hang out at the CPAC conference and they can't even read their own signs.

That in a nutshell is the political left in America.....mindless, rabble-rousing drones who don't possess an original thought among the bunch and they blindly and obediently take marching orders from their union masters and civil-rights agitators.

Calling all snitches, calling all snitches

The Obama campaign is becoming more paranoid in direct proportion to their desperation about his electability. What else explains a new Obama snitch site called Truth Team? It still features the originsl paranoia site called AttackWatch, but instead of ratting out republicans for saying mean things about their messiah, it encourages self-styled Obama operatives to dispell the lies being told about him by GOP candidates for President, to undecided moderates in their lives. Here's what the site says....

Every time a baseless attack comes to light, we’ll arm you with the truth so you can spread the word.

Basically it's a propaganda site for mindless democrat drones who can't think for themselves.

Israel and Iran about to tangle?

In recent months, an Iranian nuclear scientist as well as a top Hezbollah official were killed. Iran blames Israel and they're probably right. Over the weekend, Israeli citizens associated with embassies in New Delhi and Tbilisi, Georgia were unsuccessfully targeted by bombers, thought to be Iranian.

If you consider the ramping up of violence on each side, against the backdrop of a possible nuclear Iran being in such close proximity with the "Zionist state" as they like to call Israel, you can envision nothing but trouble ahead.

In addition, Saudi Arabia is saying that if Iran completes its nuclear weapons development program, it will do the same thing to prevent Iran from establishing a nuclear hegemony in the region. The US and some others are applying pressure to the Iranian regime through boycotts and embargoes, but they won't work as long as Russia and China continue to deal with Iran.

I guess the US's role in the eventual hostilities between Iran and Israel will be determined by what kind of conflict takes place. If it's just a surgical strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, I doubt we'll do anything. But what if Iran decides to retaliate with a ground attack on Israel? Do we jump in and come to Israel's defense or let her fend for herself? I don't think Iran will attack Israel first. Ahmadinejad is posturing, using the guise of peaceful energy development, so that Israel is compelled to attack first, affording Iran with sympathy from the world community.

Anyway it plays out, the US doesn't need to get into yet another theater of conflict in the middle east. Hell, by then we'll probably be overthrowing the Syrian regime. The last thing we need to do is exactly what the neocons want us to do which is be quick to get into a fight with Iran.

Greece is perfect example of what NOT to do

Greece's parliament passed harsh austerity measures last week in a last-ditch effort to avoid total collapse. Predictably, the citizen recipients of Greece's very generous, socialist give-aways are none to happy about having to actually work now. They clash with riot police daily as in this picture.

We smug Americans watch and think those crazy Europeans, that can't happen here. It almost did happen with the Occupy crowd of soapless degenerates. This is what happens when you have generations of citizens whose lives are entirely underwritten by the government and then you try to take away that support. They riot to get their stuff back. Greece is a perfect bellwether for trouble when a welfare state nears economic collapse. Our government overlords should be paying attention.....but they aren't.

Whitney Houston was a victim

I hate to admit it but upon hearing the news yesterday of the untimely demise of Whitney Houston, I sort of shook my head and remarked, "That seems about right." Hers is another story in list of early, drug-related celebrity deaths that is long and distinguished.

Not to be making excuses for her choosing her own path, and there's no indication that drugs played a direct part in her passing, but over the last 20 years, Whitney allowed herself to be surrounded with enablers who rather than help her stay clean and sober, provided illicit drugs to her, knowing how damaging they are. And of course, Bobby Brown didn't do her any favors either.

Celebrities need to be adored, especially the diva females, and they'll allow adoring dingle berries to symbiotically hang around like cleaner fish to a shark, because it gives them the constant validation they crave. And the dingle berries will say or do anything to be kept around, even if that means providing drugs.

My guess is that her heart stopped and that damage from chronic drug use played a role, maybe not directly at this time, but over time. Whitney Houston was a victim of her own vices and a victim of the people who indulged them.

BREAKING NEWS: Now it's being reported that her body guard found her drowned in the tub and bottles of prescription medication were in the room.Heavy sedation and water don't go together.....sad.

Kim Jong-Un rumored to be dead

There's a rumor going around that North Korea's new dear leader Kim Jong-Un was assassinated yesterday. Of course, this is from the Chinese News Agency, so it's not exactly reliable.

Because North Korea is such a closed country it's hard to tell what's going on there. But one thing we do know, is that like his father before him Kim Jong-Un likes to look at things. Every few days or so, a new image is released to the media of Jong-Un looking at assorted, every-day items. He rarely does anything with them, he just looks at them. Until they stop posting pictures of him looking at things, I won't believe he's really dead.

Click on over to kimjongunlookingatthings and check out all the interesting things he likes to look at. Here's an example of Kim Jong-Un looking at some baked goods.
