Sticky post

WELCOME

Time for a change. We sold our large house and moved full time into our RV. Why not? Our kids are all gone. Time for us to travel a little bit. (not that we didn't do enough of that anyway)
Noticing that every morning I wake up to a new view out my window, I thought I should start posting about our travels more. Now all I have to do is find time between our travels to blog about it.

I do like photography. All of my albums are of my own shots except where pointed out.
Most images on my blog are clickable links to the page that is referenced here.
If you have any suggestions, please make comments.

Have a good time.

President Gives the Go-ahead for Building the Fence on Southern Border

, , ,

Yes... The President has announced that there will be one more barrier for immigrants in their trek to the United States. In addition to dodging dangerous drug traffickers and immigration officials, the latest obstacle is emerging: a wall will be completed between Mexico and Guatemala.

Oh, I forgot to say it is the Mexican President.
According to Mexico’s National Commission on Human Rights (CNDH), 500,000 people from Central America cross into Mexico illegally every year. In addition, smugglers reportedly use the Suchiate River to move goods across the international border without paying duty taxes.

According to the head of customs for Mexico’s tax administration, Raul Diaz, the Mexican border state of Chiapas is constructing a wall along the country’s southern border with Guatemala, along the river Suchiate which divides the countries. Diaz says the purpose of the wall is to prevent the passage of contraband, but admits, “It could also prevent the free passage of illegal immigrants.”

Did he say "illegal immigrants?" Here in the US, we prefer to call them "new citizens". I think that is the term Obama wants us to use.

Mexico is now receiving a great deal of criticism from Guatemalan officials. Guatemalan civil and government organizations have called the move “senseless,” saying a border fence will not prevent undocumented migrants from crossing the border.

Despite eyewitness reports of Mexican border fence construction having commenced — including the mayor of the western Guatemalan municipality of Ayutla — Guatemalan authorities say the Mexican government has yet to comment on the project.

In 2010 alone, the United States has given $450 million to Mexico, for the expansion and development of it's security agencies.
How much does a fence cost to build if you don't have immigrants to do the work... wait...

Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has halted the construction of a fence on America’s own southern border and the U.S. Department of Justice is seeking to prevent the adoption of localized border state laws attempting to curb the flow of illegal immigrants and drug-related violence.
While the Obama administration condemns the efforts of Arizona and the calls from many Americans who insist on constructing a fence on the country’s southern border, will the U.S. government continue to funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to Mexico as they build their own border defenses?

I think we might have to look for help from Guatemala on this. Maybe their leader can visit Mexico and be treated like royalty. The Mexican lawmakers could give him a standing ovation. The President of Mexico could be moved enough by the voting power that he brings a law suit against Chiapas to stop building the fence and overturn laws aimed at curtailing illegal entry to Mexico.

Yeah, they might do that but they would have to be pretty damn dumb to do so, wouldn't they?
No offense, really!

Enzo, Lane, Britney, and Hayden - Big Brother another Jersey Shore

, ,

Lets take a break from the world of Big Government long enough to discuss something of true moral value to our society. Reality TV.

Since COPS first aired and the networks found that people wanted to sit in awe of the dumb stuff that real people do in this life, reality TV has boomed.
Why? Because it is cheap when you compare it to how much they have to pay big stars and let's face it... it's like watching a train wreck.

I caught another part of a Jersey Shore show last night when nothing else was on at two in the morning. Douche bags and sluts worrying about who they were going to sleep with after clubbing and they think they are stars.
You know, "You can't arrest me! I'm f*****g Snooki!" It just doesn't sound as good as "I borrowed the purse and I thought that white powder was gum."

My dear wife is hooked on a show called Big Brother. She loves it most seasons but this one is particularly bad. We have a live feed from the cameras in this house where the object of the game is to back stab, lie, and evict other players until there are only two standing. Then the evicted contestants vote on who the winner will be.
It is a lot of competitions to win food, favors, and prizes. This is the 12th season and the guest are still just as surprised this year that anyone of the other players would lie or deceive to get ahead in the game.

The winner of the show gets $500,000. The runner up gets $50,000. Not bad for 3 months work.

Four of these guys got together and formed an alliance (The Bro-gade). Gave themselves nick names. And proceeded to do nothing but talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. What they are going to do and how they are going to do it and how good they have played. They did nothing but talk. No prizes, no competitions won. Talk.
Finally they back stabbed one of their own (the only real player) in the back and the three of them are left with a ditsy blonde in the house that is next to go.

I was trying to make it sound interesting enough that you might go check out some of the fan blogs on it but I guess even that is a fail.
What we as viewers are sick of now is hearing the house guest talk about being big stars, getting movie contracts and making appearances. Much like the Jersey Shore crew that has become so infamous, they seriously think they are headed for stardom.

Enzo thinks he will have to make his wife do all the chores now because if he goes out he will be mobbed by paparazzi.
Britney's fiancé just has to accept the fact that this is her career now... a reality show star.
Lane will buy a bar where he can beat up people we suppose.
And Hayden , well, Hayden will never do anything.

While they sit secluded talking about what great stars they are and how they made this the best season ever, America sits bored and tweets about how dumb they are. Here are a couple of entries from tonight. Not filtered, I swear. There was just nothing good being tweeted.

wake up and stop being so boring
this season serioulsy feels like 3 years long.
This group of HGs & their egos. Yee gads. They act like #BB12 is breaking into other shows w/ alerts.
yea, they're gonna b famous...Lane 4 special showers & sassin' BB, Enzo 4 eating like a pig @ a trough & most clueless as 2 game rules
about the only show I can see Enzo on is Oz as the prison bitch
Brit: what if we get out of here and we find out no one gives 2 shits about us?
If I ever see Enzo on the street I'm gonna be like "YO meow meow I remember you from America's Most Wanted"
"What type of actor would you be? A methodist?" #Enzoisms
Okay- This Britney and Enzo "Fame" talk is giving me ear infections and rotting my brain.
Enzo "Is yous guys tweetin bout me yo"
Enzo should play Snooki's dad in the straight to video version of the Jersey Shore.
Enzo talking about being a movie star when he gets out of house.
I really dont understand what grodner/casting saw in enzo to even put him in the finals, much less picked for #BB12
sadly enzos friend in NJ (part time promoter_ says he has a few bar gigs for him at the jersey shore.. WTF??
holy shit! Enzo wanting to know how BB will have him pick an agent, to pick from agents. Have his scripts ready for him
Britney's only chance to save her ass is to win the POV. She's GOT to if for no other reason than to shut Enzo the fuck up...YO!
enzo..STOP..'what do we do when its over, how do we get famous'. "Im surprised I havent had a movie role yet".
enzo's ego knows no bounds..'who were your favorite people in the house? Besides me of course"
YES Enzo you are going to be SOoo famous! Famous for being THE worst player in THE worst final 4 in BB history!
#bb12 BORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG === Yes it is...Yawn!!!


Two More ACORN Voters Charged With Election Fraud

, ,

A former voter registration worker for the community organizing group ACORN (where do we know that name from?) has pleaded guilty in Milwaukee to election fraud.

A Milwaukee woman faces up to three and a half years in prison and a $10,000 fine when she's sentenced in October. Prosecutors accused Maria Miles of repeatedly trying to register the same voters to meet ACORN's 20-signature per day quota before the 2008 presidential election.

Another former ACORN registration worker, Kevin Clancy, has also been charged with election fraud for registering the same people repeatedly. He's scheduled to appear in Court for a plea hearing on Sept. 22.

For you Obama supporters: I'm not implying that Obama would have lost the election if we knew he had been cheating.

Loss of 2010 Census Jobs Hit Unemployment Hard Everywhere but Illinois

, ,

I think we all expected the unemployment to rise after the counting was done. Obama was just teasing when he said he had created jobs and we really wanted to think we had hope. Now the job is done and the rate has gone back up while our President is away for 10 days on a vacation. (His sixth one this year)

But wait... seems there are some more permanent jobs coming out of this. I Obama's old stomping grounds there are people still being paid as much as $85,000 a year to count people in an outreach program. Thought the counting was done? Yeah, yeah it is but these people don't have to come in to the office. They can work from home with government provided cell phones. How does this work?

In that little stimulus package that the government handed out was $500,000,000 for extra jobs for linguistic, racial, and sexual minorities in the Census this year. So the Demachine in Illinois decided to spread the wealth.

Detroit Regional Census Center who were NOT let go from the Census Bureau — even though “partnership” activities are long finished and the vast majority of employees in this office were let go in early June:

Twoine Murphy, who was indicted by the State of Michigan for his involvement in a Ponzi scheme.

Marsha Cheeks is a Democratic former member of the Michigan state House of Representatives.

Brian H. White, who violated the Hatch Act by running two political offices while a 2010 Census employee:

Belda Garza is also a former Michigan State Representative (who was term-limited) turned Partnership Specialist employed by the Detroit Regional Census Center and kept on the job after other employees were fired.

Linda Clark is the girlfriend of Charles “Charlie” Beckham, who is an associate of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and works as a top aide to current Detroit Mayor Dave Bing.

After speaking with many 2010 Census employees, not a soul can confirm that any of the aforementioned individuals, including Twoine Murphy (who has not returned numerous calls or e-mails from MyTwoCensus.com) have done a stitch of work in the past couple of months, let alone even entered the Detroit office.

If all of this isn’t bad enough, the Detroit Regional Census Office is still being quietly led by a man who is under investigation by the Commerce Department Inspector General, Detroit Regional Director Dwight Dean.

Now, tell me they didn't cook the numbers just a little bit in favor of their beloved state. You criminals just made the 2010 Census useless.

Obama Administration Throws Out Case on Black Panthers After They Were Found Guilty

,

The Department of Justice brought charges against members of the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation. Members were videoed standing in front of a polling place carrying weapons and glaring at white voters as they entered.
The members were found guilty and were awaiting the sentencing phase.

Obama won the election, as we know, and appointed Eric Holder attorney general. The new political appointee heading DOJ's Civil Rights Division, Thomas Perez, hand-picked by Attorney General Holder and President Obama, dropped the case against the Black Panthers.

The reason Perez gave was that there just was not enough evidence to win the case.

Hadn't the Justice Department already won? Yes, the government had already won. All they had to do was wait for the court to hand down its punishment.

They were hoping everything would just go away. No one would ever find out they were playing favorites with their associates in the Black Panther Party.

And it would have gone un-noticed if J. Christian Adams, lawyer from the Justice Department who had worked on this case, resigned so he could bring this injustice to light.
Thing is... what will be done now that the public does know? Will they still ignore it or will someone be held accountable?

Does anyone remember when Obama worked so hard to make his appointees immune from Congressional oversight? Is there still any question why?


Obama Sues Arizona but Blames Illegal Immigration on Republicans

, , , ...

So which is it?
Feds sue to block Arizona illegal immigrant law
"In our constitutional system, the federal government has pre-eminent authority to regulate immigration matters," the lawsuit says. "This authority derives from the United States Constitution and numerous acts of Congress. The nation's immigration laws reflect a careful and considered balance of national law enforcement, foreign relations, and humanitarian interests."

So we have to guess that Obama doesn't want States to enforce the laws because... well, we are not really sure why.

They do word things in the article that would make you think that Arizona is making some kind of immigration laws when what they are really doing is enforcing federal laws. The article states, "The law makes it a state crime for legal immigrants to not carry their immigration documents." That is not so. The federal laws states that legal immigrants must carry their documents with them for five years.

"As other states and localities go their own ways, we face the prospect that different rules for immigration will apply in different parts of the country," Obama said. "A patchwork of local immigration rules where we all know one clear national standard is needed."


Wouldn't you think he is implying that Arizona and "other states" are writing immigration laws?
We do have a "clear national standard!" Enforce it!

To make things worse...
Obama presses 11 Republican senators to revive support for immigration reform

he also turned a spotlight on 11 Republican senators who had backed reform attempts in 2006, arguing that progress is being "held hostage" by "political posturing, special-interest wrangling and . . . the pervasive sentiment in Washington that tackling such a thorny and emotional issue is inherently bad politics."


Hold outs for Obama's immigration reform all have the same prospective:
"The president needs to work with Congress on a step-by-step approach, focusing first on securing our borders and then establishing a temporary worker program,"

We have seen it happen before. Obama is getting ready to push some kind of reform down our throats even if we don't want it. His supporters are saying it is just too early to spring it on the people right after his Health Care Reform. He is afraid the bad taste it left in our mouths will taint his agenda.

I am just wondering if we can back charge Mexico for taxes we have spent along the border on lands we have abandon back to them.
Another possibility could be militia, volunteers, and mercenaries in each state to protect ourselves if Obama won't.

What do You Call the South?

I found this web site and though, "Boy, you can find anything on the web." I was going to let it go as some idiot that just didn't know any better until I happen to read a few lines.

It occurred to me that someone may actually think this guy had something valid to say and take some of it as fact.
You see, much like how you have rights, so must you have obligations, you can read but you must choose what is the truth in what you just read.
If you don't know me, you might not know how I feel about history being re-written but, you know those annoying people on Facebook that who's job it to find all the misspelled words and incorrect punctuation and point it out in a comment? Yeah, when you quote something from a history book that is untrue... that's me.

Please excuse the foul language, I will not insult your intelligence by putting asterisks for A's or $ for S's in an attempt to make the poster look anymore creditable.

Texas man killed crying girl during World Cup game

, , , ...

A Texas man accused of fatally beating his 2-year-old stepdaughter when she wouldn't stop crying as he watched a World Cup game has been charged with capital murder.

McAllen Police says 27-year-old Hector Castro was charged Monday after his Saturday arrest. Castro is being held on $1 million bond at the Hidalgo County jail,
Castro told investigators the toddler wouldn't stop crying while he was trying to watch the U.S.-Ghana matchup Saturday.

The child was severely beaten and suffered several broken ribs. Police say a screw or bolt was forced down her throat in an apparent attempt to make it look like she choked to death. It was clear the screw was not related to her death and police were quickly called to the apartment, where four other children survived.

Castro is an illegal immigrant. I wonder what happens to him.
Does he get deported? Given back to Pres. Felipe Calderon to protect and support?
You know that if all these bleeding hearts won't let us ask him for his papers, they sure are not going to let us fry him.

Then again, the little girl had a screw. Maybe she was using it as a weapon and he killed her in self defense. After all, he is entitled a defense attorney and should be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. With all the appeals, we will be supporting Castro for many, many years before he can even be sentenced.

Then again, maybe our new hero, Pres. Felipe Calderon, will woe our Administration again and we will just let this scum go free.

Who knows in a world where there is no clear right or wrong, no clear legal or illegal?
