A Distrubing Trend

Capital One Shootout in broad daylight

This week the Hispanic Bank Robber that held a hostage at gunpoint in Langley Park fled the Capital One branch with dozens of Police at the entrance and a live helicopter recording every move proved one thing to us ... there are desperate illegal aliens willing to risk it all in Wild West fashion on the streets and neighborhoods across America. Fortunately this one ended nicely. While back-peddling the rober slipped, lost grip of his hostage and was duly shot dead at the scene as he tried to recapture his hostage.

This scenario is happening from Juarez to Arizona and straight to our communities here in Maryland. Last year alone over 35,000 people were gunned down in Mexico by the Cartel. Now the statistics show a disturbing trend; as elected officials, police and innocent bystanders have been killed along with American citizens at the border and in our cities and towns here in the United States. Our country is flooded with illegals pouring across our border to murder our citizens, sell drugs to our youth and now rob banks at gunpoint in our neighborhoods. A dangerous trend is occurring right under our noses and yet nothing is being done to stop the madness. The Cartel is here in the US and spreading like Kudsu.

Still we have no clear immigration policy or strategy to seal off our borders and begin to control the flow of people who simply want to come here and perpetrate crimes against our citizens. Sure ... there are decent people who simply want a job and to provide for their families ... but so do honest, law-abiding legal American citizens here in our country. What about our rights?

So When will leaders on Capitol Hill defend our rights?

Leaders on Capitol Hill continue to debate the issue under the heading of Immigration Reform ... but nothing has been done.
I hear talk of Amnesty but what about clearing our streets of the dangerous criminal element from our streets ... first? You may ask ... How do we accomplish this task?
Leaders on Capitol Hill need to begin by securing the border once and for all and control the number of illegal immigrants from reaching our cities and towns and becoming yet another criminal element. Do we really know who enters our country each year? Of the illegals that enter our country; how many are violent criminals? As an example, of the 910 illegals detained in Arizona last year 90% had criminal records and were deported. What about the ones they miss? Where are they? Our citizens will continue to be victims if nothing is done to seal off the border. Congress needs to act now!

A Disturbing Trend

With national unemployment hovering at around 10% ... what is the unemployment rate for illegal citizens in our country? For shift workers or casual laborers that hang out at the Home Depot's and Seven Eleven's that rate could be as high as 25%. And with predictions that the trend will continue for another two years, it may get worse before it gets better. So it is no wonder that crime in the Hispanic sector will continue to rise since the services they provide are expendable in hard times. Desperate times are ahead for many of these illegal aliens who are here in our country illegally, don't speak our language, do not have a job ... and are filling our jails and prisons.

Start Now!

Close the border, seal off the routes into our country and begin to review everyone that enters into our country with fine-tuned legal scrutiny ... selecting only model citizens who seek to come to our country to make our country a better place ... not to sell drugs to our youth, rape our women and rob our banks. What's wrong with that?

Unrest in Egypt

Oppression for 30 Years

My picture above was taken where I stood in the desert 20 years ago looking towards Cairo ... standing with my trusty camel and the black Palomino near the base of the Giza Pyramids.
I recall guards at the airport with automatic weapons , 20% unemployment and a country of desperate people ... 40 million under the age of 30 and unemployed.

Today the people have spoken. Oppressed for over 30 years during the rule of Mubarak they are fed up with 40% unemployment and extremely high commodity prices ... they are unable to provide the basics for their families, 70% of the country making on average 4 dollars a day. The media is down, social media and the Internet is off ... Oppression continues.

So What is our Energy Policy with Rogue Nations?

What is even more alarming ... is this situation was predicted long ago and is yet another ticking time bomb that shows how fragile our relationship is in the Mideast with rogue nations who do not have our best interest in mind.
Last week President Obama's Energy Advisor stepped down without establishing a clear energy policy. The Suez canal is now in jeopardy ... Deja Vu all over again. If you remember the Oil Embargo of 1972 and the Gas Lines ... get ready for a long hot summer.
The Obama Administration yet again has waited till a crisis precipitates action instead of developing a proactive strategy to shield the US from events such as what occurred in Egypt this week and the resulting instability in the Oil Markets to come.

We need a Proactive Energy Strategy!

As Crude Oil reaches $100 a barrel and unrest in Egypt escalates ... Iran and Iraq are sitting by cheering-on the events of today. Mubarak unwilling to step down, is now due to appoint a new government on Saturday. The Muslim Majority is sure to take over and form the first Muslim run country. This will create a safe-haven for the Al queda and any other Military Dictatorship run by Muslim Fundamentalists.

Stand-by ... This is a dangerous revolution at its beginnings!

Balanced Budget Amendment

An Amendment for Today!
Regardless of which side of the aisle you are on.

I do believe strongly that the United Sates Constitution is the single greatest document in the last 5000 years. Throughout the history of our nation we have only added 27 Amendments to the original document. A testament to the genius of the Authors and Founders and the caution most leaders have exercised in modifying this miraculous document.

But I doubt seriously whether our founders would be pleased at a 14 Trillion Dollar debt. Thomas Jefferson our 3rd President was quoted regarding debt, "

"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds... [we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another ]... till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery ... And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression."


Two hundred and thirty-five years after the adoption of the Constitution, Congress continues to spend well beyond the revenue generated every year and the deficit is so out of control a Trillion Dollars is added to the deficit each year just to finance (pay) down the interest. Each Congress (now the 112th Congressional Assembly) continues to delay the inevitable and viable solutions to the problem -

1. Cut spending
2. Reduce the size of government
3. And demand a balanced budget.

The 28th Amendment
A Congressional Balanced Budget Amendment

Senator Mike Lee a first term Republican from Utah is gaining support for proposing that Congress adopt and pass a Balanced Budget Amendment.

He's Got My Support!

Congressional Conservatives and Tea Party candidates that were sworn in this month were a result of the will of the American people. They supported candidates that campaigned on advocating a balanced budget. Senator Lee and his supporters agree that runaway spending is out of control and that the only measure that will prevent Congress BY LAW to propose budgets for the year that are balanced is to adopt a Constitutional Amendment that will require them to do so: A necessary formula:

Revenue - Expenses = 0

If we do not achieve this task during this Congress, Our Elected Officials will continue to pass the buck to the next Congress and continue to add debt to generations not yet born. Our grandchildren will be born with such debt, they will be taxed beyond their abilities to pay. Born into a cycle of debt and despair. Is this what we want for our children?

Call your Representatives and Senators today.
Tell them to support and Pass ...

A Balanced Budget Amendment

Political Blame Game

Seizing a Tragedy for Political Gain

Unfortunately the tragedy in Arizona has brought out the worst in Liberal Politicians eager to seize this opportunity; to use the shooting as a platform for political name-calling and to blame Conservatives, GOP Political Candidates, Political Pundits such as Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh and Conservative Groups for the shooting.

Are you kidding Me?

Before the suspect was even identified the County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik was already blaming conservative political rhetoric from the right as the root cause for the shooting and the motivation for the shooter to commit this horrendous act.

What a Moron!

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik got plenty of attention when he quickly pinned the blame for the assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Gifford's, D-Ariz., on conservatives, Rush Limbaugh and even Republican opposition to the “progress” being sought by his fellow Democrats.

But it has now been revealed that Dupnik’s department had prior interaction with suspect Jared Loughner. The department is still holding back details of the calls, but has now confirmed that deputies made multiple visits to the Loughner home in recent years.
The suspect and his motive and the real evidence portray a sick disturbed DEMOCRAT. Yes, he is a liberal pot-head, unstable for years and has stalked Representative Gifford's for years, with the clear knowledge of law enforcement, fellow students and warnings from professors that have stated for the record, "this young man is dangerous and needs therapy." So with all the warning signs and the overwhelming evidence that Mr. Loughner is a Liberal sicko who has a long history of descent towards his own party's agenda and the policies of his Representative ...

Why was Mr. Loughner not treated or stopped long ago?

It is now known that Dupnik the County Sheriff, outspoken against Conservative free speech ... has known about Mr. Loughner and his behavior and threats long ago. So there is your motive. It is quite obvious now why the Sheriff was anxious to deflect scrutiny away from his office and the knowledge he had obtained ... and instead to blame all conservatives and hope to silence their right to free speech. He was hiding the truth!

So have the media and Democratic Candidates told us the truth?

Nope. Instead of exercising caution and waiting for the facts of the case to reveal the truth, liberal leaders with the backing of the press have all got on the band-wagon to use this tragic event to further their political agenda and to even go so far as to introduce legislation to limit free speech, re-visiting the Fairness Doctrine adopted by the FCC in the 50's.

BTW ... The primary purpose of the Fairness Doctrine was to assure each candidate from each party was given the same allocation on time on the air ... not to limit the time from a single party for the benefit of the other as current leaders advocate!

On Tuesday, Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., was quoted in the Oregon Statesman-Journal saying he blamed conservative media personalities like Fox News' Glenn Beck and radio host Rush Limbaugh.

"I hold them personally responsible. I don't know how they can sleep at night after this," Schrader said.

This kind of guy is an elected official?

What is disturbing about all of this is the assertion that FREE SPEECH is in question or that a Bill or Law needs to be drafted to limit or regulate the opinion from either side of the isle.
Rules in Sports are drafted and adopted to assure a level playing field and that each team is treated equally on the field. What liberal leaders on Capitol Hill are advocating is to tip the scales and control the field of play. Shame on them. And what is even more deplorable is that they have used the shooting of Congresswoman Gifford's as an opportunity to change the rules of engagement.

My suggestions to Leaders on Capitol Hill ...

Listen to the father of the nine year old girl who was senselessly murdered.
Find out why Sheriff Dupnik did not proactively protect Rep. Gifford's.
Introduce legislation to track and add dangerous individuals to an ATF watch list. Keep dangerous people from buying guns ... limit gun ownership to law abiding citizens.
Exercise restraint in crisis situations.
Get all of the facts before you call a press conference.
Stop using tragedies to further your own agenda.

Gas @ $5.00 a Gallon

Where is the Outrage?

I took a bit of a break for the Holidays and couldn't help noticing that at the Ski Resort community that we traveled to ... Gas spiked during the Holidays to $3.19 a gallon for regular.

Wait a Minute!

Let's go back in history four years during the Bush Administration ... when the media posted daily news flashes that the price of regular gas was $3.00 a gallon. Everyone was ouraged. They blamed Bush and his buddies in the Oil business and/or insinuated that the President had a special relationship with the Saudis. Well all of that turned out to be hog-wash. But did they retract the story or correct their error? Nope!

Candidate Hillary Clinton, then Senator Barrack Obama and a host of Democrats warned us if we didn't vote for them that the bad, bad Republicans would continue to raise the price of oil. A vote for the Democrats would solve everything. They must think we are all morons. Democrats or any other American citizen has virtually no control over what the Oil Cartel in the Mideast will do ... including setting the price of crude. But the blind voted for a candidate that promised better times ... Ha!

Fast forward a few years ... The Energy Policy of the current administration has led to the cost of oil to sky-rocket again. As gasoline at the pumps passed the $3.00 mark this month ... have you hear anything about that from the media? Have the press asked the President or the Department of Energy about why their failed energy strategy (or lack there of) has led to the spike in oil prices? Nope!

So Why Not?

I have a theory.
The media doesn't want to connect the dots.
Obama Administration's Energy Policy = Higher Oil Prices

So what can we do?

We can utilize US resources (millions of gallon of natural gas and oil) to lower our foreign dependency on oil. We import 20 million barrels of oil a day. Experts have advised for decades that simply reducing the imports by 50% - producing 10 million barrels here in the US instead of importing crude, would help to reduce the demand and effectively lower the price ... worldwide.

If it is that simple ...Why don't we start it today?

Because the current Administration and their energy/policy advisors haven't listened to real oil experts.
They think they know better.
And the media will never tell you the truth.

Write your Congressman and Senator
Tell them to open the wells and start drilling ... tomorrow!
If we don't ... the price of gas at the pump will be $5.00 a gallon by the end of 2012.
