From Gulf to Egypt

The first oil rig is leaving toward Egypt.

Say goodbye, folks. And, be sure to thank the POTUS since it was his idea to place a moratorium on deep water drilling.

EPA Issuing New COAL Air Pollution Rules

Get ready folks. The Administration is going to take our money yet again.

Add this to the amounts mentioned in the previous post.

Never mind, according to the FAIR report, every family in the nation will have to cover $11,100+ [sorry, wrong amount] $1,117 per year for illegal aliens. Add this annual cost to the financial effects of this set of rules just for coal fired power plants and other coal-driven industries.

When does this stop? When even those of us still working lose everything.

Basis Of The AZ Lawsuit

Has anybody noticed the emphasis of the lawsuit is NOT about discrimination?

Instead, the administration …

Within months of taking office, the Obama White House directed department heads to undertake pre-emption of state law only with full consideration of the legitimate prerogatives of the states.

The 2009 directive was aimed at reversing Bush administration policy that had aggressively employed pre-emption in an effort to undermine a wide range of state health, safety and environmental laws.

Well what do you know. It’s about health, safety and the environment.

Of Who? Must be the illegal aliens and not about our own citizens.

According to the latest reports from FAIRUS.ORG, $113B per year coming out of our collective pockets is just because of illegal aliens.

That’s right. That is what it is costing us nationwide. Let alone the physical and fatal harm being done to our police forces in Arizona and elsewhere. And other such incidents around the country.

Are we being told it’s better to lose our money and not our lives? How can that be palatable when BOTH ARE HAPPENING?

And what is worse, our current government is using our own taxpayer dollars to fund this lawsuit against one state that is suffering about TWICE (that of Maryland) the financial drain of illegals on their services while still losing citizens/policemen lives to mexican drug cartels.

The unmitigated gall of our so-called government to say this law has to be stopped in order to prevent other states from copying it is totally absurd. Particularly so when the government doesn’t want to do their job, in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, to safeguard our citizens. And they claim no one else (States) are allowed to do the job the Constitution places on the Federal government.

Insane.

Remember November. 2010. 2012. 2014 and beyond.

P.S. The Professor has a copy of the case.

And another instance of death threats against an AZ County Sheriff from a mexican mafia.

Statement from Gov. Jan Brewer.

S.C. State Board Calls For Spending Audit


A previous federal audit on one of the center’s programs, the National Summer Transportation Institute, found the university’s financial records in such disarray accountants couldn’t figure out where millions of dollars went.

Read the whole thing. Apparently, it isn’t just the FED that needs to be audited.

Healthscare – Didn’t Take Long

Yeah. Right.

Somehow, saying “I told you so” about rationing just – doesn’t – say it – loud – or – long – enough.

Voters Aren’t Only Ones Listening

This candidate is also. And has been listening. For quite some time.

The unemployment picture is not getting better, it is getting worse. As is the financial health of our economy.

Yes. I would say November is looking like the speed bag in my garage.

P.S. I do not play golf. As to what the POTUS did today ….

Skim Scam Flim Flam

Well, the National Guard falls under jurisdiction of the State Governor, right?

Sounds like a plan.

Again, Billy Nungesser and Governor Bobby Jindal not being able to get answers to questions about skimmers, now National Guard will provide reports on the amount of oil being collected and monitor the Coast Guard.

Don’t Want To Pay For It

Yeah, instead of even attempting to be fiscally responsible, they just go on vacation.

Sure. That’s a real solution, isn’t it – progressives?

Remember November.

Unpresidential

He really shouldn’t ad lib.

Really.

UPDATE: Jobs In Jeopardy

Up to 1,000 jobs at Bucyrus International Inc. and its suppliers could be in jeopardy as the result of a decision by the U.S. Export-Import Bank, funded by Congress, to deny several hundred million dollars in loan guarantees to a coal-fired power plant and mine in India.

About 300 of those jobs are at the Bucyrus plant in South Milwaukee, where the company has 1,410 employees and its headquarters. The remaining jobs are spread across 13 states, including Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana.

More …

UPDATE: The bank is now changing its position.
