Secret Ballots for Congressional Committee Votes?

This is not right nor good. This is non-representation at the highest level.

How dare they.

What’s Coming

According to Frank J. Fleming of Pajamas Media.

Interesting. I wonder how much will come true. Heh.

Merry Christmas for Fans of 24 TV Series

Not your usual Christmas Story. In fact, take Jack Bauer’s attitude here with a dozen grains of salt.

Funny, though. Hope you get a kick out of it.

UPDATE: Our Security Awareness Needs Help

Why aren’t we getting it?

Apparently there are egos that are too big to get through a door, unless their feelings are hurt when flaws in such security systems are exposed.

Gee, I always am grateful when people I work with can point out things that I can improve upon or correct. It makes for a better product and helps our customers.

What’s the problem with that DHS? Can’t you help us instead of trying to herd us?

See this news article (with video) about an airline pilot, in California. He is letting us know – the flying public – what is important for all of us to know. All this pilot wants is the job to be done right, done well.

You know what? So do the rest of us.

UPDATE: I am not the only one that thinks like this, apparently.

$1.1T Spending Bill Oinking Its Way to the Floor

Tomorrow. Wednesday. The Ides of December.

This is the funding for the monstrosity known as Obamacare. It is ladeen with Pork, aka earmarks (as I heard on the Sean Hannity raadio show this day around 4 to 5pm). I agree with Don Surber’s post about Boehner’s call to the POTUS to veto it.

Crank up the phone lines, folks, this is the flip the Congress is giving us for Christmas because of our rising interest and activism in our Republic Government.

It is no coincidence that this is coming on the heels of Federal Judge Henry Hudson’s ruling about individuals having to purchase insurance (when the Commerce Clause in the US Constitution does not, and never did, claim regulating commerce extends beyond the state level).

Congress wants to send us a message? Well, pick up the phone and send them one also.

Other sites on this issue:
Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, Gateway Pundit

Hot Air shows an update that indicates the earmark count is now near 6,500 earmarks in all totaling $8.3 billion in all, at least.
When the POTUS first bragged about Congress passing the Healthcare (Obamacare) bill, he expressed happiness that they “included no earmarks.” Okay, POTUS, now is the time to express your dissatisfaction by breaking out the veto pen from its mothball status.

From Michelle Malkin’s article:
One commenter, who picked a page at random (877), found that the bill has designated $350 million to create a new “San Francisco Bay Restoration Program.” Others have noted that $413,000 have been appropriated for peanut research in the deep South and nearly $250,000 for virus free wine grapes in Washington State…

Remember this?

UPDATEx2: Dream Act Will Not Die

UPDATEx2: Again, Michelle Malkin brings to our attention tomorrow’s likely nightmare vote (aka, DREAM Act).
I URGE YOU TO READ THROUGH IT. Especially interesting is the ist of ‘misdemeanors’ this DREAM Act will erase.
A few:
Examples of misdemeanors in California:
(1) Assault, CPC § 240
(2) Battery, CPC § 242
(3) Domestic Violence, CPC § 273.5
(4) Criminal Threats/Harassment, CPC § 244
(5) Reckless driving, CVC § 23103
(6) Possession of Firearms, CPC § 12020


An excellent status update by Michelle Malkin.

Be sure to remember those that vote for this – and vote them out come 2011 or 2013.

UPDATE: The cost of this DREAM Act is estimated to be near $6.2B.
