Totally shameful and pure Bull Crap!

The unemployment rate of our Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans is 25%.

And the Liberals in politics are telling us that Men and Women of our armed forces, those who have proven themselves as willing and able to engage and survive the Extreme Battle Field conditions found in Iraq and Afghanistan, for near minimum wages and risking their lives in the process, are now unwilling to install new roofs, paint houses, pour concrete and do many other strenuous jobs back here in the US and that is why we need to allow Illegal Aliens to flood into our country from Mexico?

Those lying bastards! What they want is a permanent class of Stoop Labor workers to mow their lawns and clean their toilets and do it for 1/2 the fair price.

What's wrong with me?

Why am I among a very few US Citizens who are asking why during Obama's press conference today was there a Golden Curtain featuring Middle Eastern like patterns hanging in the background and a 100% absence of the US Flag?

What message was being conveyed, to whom and why?

Liar Test!

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham failed that test today when he again spoke of the US needing to create a way to help the 12 million Illegal Aliens find a path to Citizenship.

The Liar Test is the 12 Million as that is the same number the Liberal Liberals have been quoting for almost ten years.

The truth is the number is likely well in excess of 20 Million and a large number are scum bags we don't want in the USA.

I hope the people of South Carolina take the RINO rat out in the next election.

How Stimulating!

Here we have a City crew working their way down South Commercial Street. They are spending stimulus money by replacing most of the driveways and sidewalks to commercial businesses as with this O'Reilly Auto Parts (formerly Shuck's) store.

I wonder how many Concrete businesses I would need to call out the Yellow Pages to find one that thinks keeping City Building Inspection Department employees on the payroll at the cost of their employees, is a fair deal?

I wonder if the City Building Inspectors/Concrete and Asphalt Contractors call for a City Inspector to inspect their work?

Oh yes, see that cute little City dump truck. Pay no attention to that black asphalt stain on the back as its a brand new little City dump truck. In fact its an All Wheel Drive little dump truck and if I don't miss my guess its one of those Special Order rigs that cost extra.

But then, if you are going into the construction business you need the best tools you can get, right?

Lets see now,

Thailand is in chaos, North Korea sank a South Korean ship, Jamaica is burning, Iran is ready to whack Israel, the EU is falling with Greece and Spain going bankrupt, the European socialist model is proven a fraud, the Sudan is still a mess as is Iraq and Afghanistan, Mexico is one big drug business as is much of Central America, Hammas is teaming with Syria and Venezuela, China's economy is off balance, Australia has econ trubs and are raising taxes many times over, the US economy is staggering and the Gulf of Mexico is near being ruined and all the while Obama's teleprompter remains blank.

I think the World's lacking solutions to all these problems and more likely stem from a bad USB connector.

How dare they!

It seems some residents of Moses Lake, Washington have the audacity to declare their having suffered a Tornado and that before the Official Government Tornado Investigators have investigated the unusual weather event. It could have been a micro-burst!!

Lucky for we taxpayers that Moses Lake has an airport capable of landing a large commercial sized aircraft as otherwise the Official Government Tornado Investigators would need to travel there from Seattle or Spokane.

I wonder if this blatant over-stepping of their capacities will spoil any future stimulus grant opportunities for Moses Lake?

I want a Purple Thumb!

The unusually low number of voters participating in yesterdays election in Oregon confirms that Citizens now see the ability to vote and the power it carries being equal in unique value as an Oregon Drivers License.

Its past time we return to the Ballot Box and restore our faith in our election process.

Is Greece's economic fire coming here next?

Something I keep hearing discussed in the world of finance, but not in mainstream news, is that much of Greece's economy has moved into a cash-only Black Market. This has compounded their governments finance problems as fewer taxes are being paid to support their ever growing number of public employees..

We only need look to Mexico to learn the results of a Black Market economy which the Illegal Immigrants are now establishing in the US.

Mexicans don't trust government, don't trust Police, don't trust banks, believe that possession is nine tenths of the law and thus keep all their cash close at hand. Anyone wanting proof of this need only visit most any business that caters to the Hispanic population where cash is king and that not for banks having tried to gain them as card customers.

Many of our politicians are looking forward to a time when they might benefit from voter support coming from what is now our Illegal Alien population. However they will soon learn the error of their way as the Mexicans are no more likely to pay taxes and support a government here as they didn't in Mexico.

Time will reveal there is no pie under all that meringue.

Better late than never!

Both KGW TV-8 and KPTV-12 opened their news this morning with telling about Ismael Recinos-Velasaquez who they claim had beaten a 12 year old girl's mother, raped the girl and has now thought to have kidnapped and raped the mother's other 14 year old daughter.

They also told of him using several other names.

The best part is neither described him as being a Portland resident and both gave his story Top Billing which would never have happened six months ago.

The invisible shield that has protected the Illegal Aliens for many years seems to have begun to dissolve which may give Portland area urbanites reason to rethink their positions on our Open Border situation.

Out of Oregon II

After learning on May 1st, of how most of the local Rental Truck activity involved residents leaving the State, I returned today to inquire if there has been any change and indeed there has been.

Rental Truck inventory today:

Rental Truck inventory May 1.

The last truck out was again headed for Texas.

What is even more troublesome is how many of the housing vacancies that result from this obvious exodus of industrious people are being in-filled by welfare drones and mental patients who are coming here to enjoy the easy access to taxpayer supported social services available here in Oregon and those include the Oregon Health Plan.

Basic Questions . . .

Why are we to expect those who Steal their way into the USA will change from their uncivilized thieving ways once they have crossed the border?

Should we not be welcoming those Mexicans who have shown a respect for our laws and theirs and have remained in their homeland?

Proof that Libs don't count.

Over the last ten years the Libs have proven they can't get past the US suffering from more than 12 Million Illegal Aliens while the Illegal Aliens themselves claim being 40 Million strong and say they are ready to make their presence known.

So how do you suppose they 12 plus 28 Million Illegals plan on doing that?

Do ya spose?

That with the Oregon Farm Bureau backing Chris Dudley with their almost unlimited money, we can assume he won't do anything to upset their access to Cheap Farm Labor?

Don't expect will see many Farmers being Killed by Drunken Illegal Aliens as they can afford to stay off the roads during those times of extreme danger.

The word is,

The reason for the unemployment numbers going up today was that more people who had left the job market . . . have returned. That makes sense.

So all the disenchanted folks that have exhausted their unemployment benefits must have called a Special 800 phone number and told Obama they have rejoined the employable workforce and are again looking for employment. That makes sense.

Stupid me, here I thought the only way they tallied the unemployed was by counting those receiving unemployment benefits.

It seems I have misplaced that Special 800 number, so would anybody who has it please e-mail that back to me ASAP. I want to be counted as it may lead to some Chinese stimulus money hand-outs in the future.

Thanks anyway!

John McCain keeps sending me e-mail messages that open with "My friend" and I don't know why.

After Google searching I can't seem to find John's name on my list of friends anywhere and can only assume he has become just as confused about our association as he was about Illegal Aliens being a problem.

However, when I search his name it does pop-up on my list of those I consider as having been used as sacrificial goats.

Easy come, easy go!

Few of those who are today managing the affairs of the United States fought or sacrificed anything for the freedom they presently enjoy.

I suspect that may be about to change. That if there is any hope we might continue as a nation.

Cultures are clashing!

Listening to discussion on TV News of problems in the EU Union, I find it interesting to learn how the Germans who are hard working and productive, are being asked to carry the debt of Greece and other EU members who don't share the same ethics, culture and mores and most Germans are very angry with having to carry a burden they didn't earn.

What I find curious is how the Germans are allowed to speak openly and complain of those differences, yet we in the US are not able to say anything when we are faced with supporting Mexico whose people don't share our ethics, culture and mores.

No, we are told to shut up and Embrace their Diversity no matter how disgusting and damaging it is to our more civilized society.

A window on our future!

That comes from watching the video stream coming in from Greece today that shows us the end-result of a Socialist Welfare State that lived on borrowed money.

If you think that looks ugly wait until the Obama-ites discover the painful truth as what we will see in the USA will make Greece look like a Rose Parade.

As seen on TV!

That was the President of our United States of America as he was willfully and intentionally misrepresenting the recently approved Arizona law dealing with Illegal Aliens and that for the purpose of his Political Advantage.

Its disgraceful enough that we allow and accept this type of raw dishonesty during the course of an election campaign, but we have an even greater problem when our President lowers himself and the Office to levels equal a cocaine snorting pitchman who is infomercial-hawking a worthless garden tool.

How can we expect people around the World to respect the US when we have our leader exercising such fraudulent behavior?

May God have mercy on us.

The next Big Thing!

It will come when millions of unemployed US Citizens start to lose their Unemployment Benefits and then realize how millions of Illegal Aliens are standing between them and their ability to feed themselves and their famlies.

That's when push will come to shove and our fence sitting polititians will discover they should have acted earlier.

Rubber is Meeting the Road

I have always found one of the best economic indicators is Rental Trucks. If the economy is moving, rental truck use will tell the story and that is why I pay close attention to that activity.

Salem's largest collection of Rental Trucks is located at the airport which makes it easy for me to observe the usage with passing by there several times a week. And, their recent increase in activity was the reason I dropped in today to ask questions the office staff. You see, the parking lot was almost empty as compared to what has become normal in the last few years.

My first questions were, where have all the Rental Trucks gone and are people moving again in Salem? The managers answer was, yes people are moving in Salem but more are moving out and not just around town. He went on to say that about two weeks ago he had over forty rental trucks on the lot and today he is down to practically nothing.

The next question for him was where are people moving. The answer, it breaks down in thirds. One third are one-way rentals to individuals moving out of Oregon, another third are one-way rentals to individuals leaving Salem for other parts of the State and the remaining third are a mix of local businesses and individuals renting which are daily returns.

My next question, where are those going that are leaving Oregon? His answer, Texas is #1 by far with Indiana and Illinois about equal as seconds. Some one-way truck renters have told him of their having found good paying work and reasonable housing in Texas in less than a month and thus left Oregon in a hurry.

Texas I can understand but Indiana and Illinois? Go figure.

Not to despair as there is always a silver lining. Maybe we can find work driving empty Rental Trucks back to Oregon but don't forget to take an extra seat cushion along as empty trucks make for a rough ride.
