Bloomberg panders to illegals while the economy burns

Before he is even out of the gate, Michael Bloomberg dooms his potential independent candidacy for president by opening his mouth. I was not to excited about a party hopping rich businessman with a Napoleonic complex running for president anyway. This statement by him removes any possibility that he would have even the remotest chance of success. Like Fred Thompson, he would have done much better if he just kept his big mouth shut and said nothing. Maybe his script writers are on strike as well.

Seems to me that this colonial like exploitation of cheap illegal labor is at the very root of our economic and social ills. But it's been a while since I was at the country club so maybe I'm out of touch with current mainstream American values. Are we now a caste society like India? We need a new generation of slave laborers to pick the cotton? Have we learned nothing since 1863? Oh - but the "beaner economy" of Bush and I guess Bloomberg is really cooking along now. Actually all of this open border, free trade, exploit the cheap working classes of third world countries comes right out of the think tanks of the CFR. So the modern day Robber Barrons have now transformed themselves into angels of light? J.P. Morgen and John D. Rockerfeller would be so proud to know that the dragons tooth of the CFR they created had grown into a full fledged beast that was, that is not and yet is ruining America and the free world.

Oh but they are making so much profit so it must all be good, right? Well - not these days. The global economy is teetering on the brink of self destruction and Bloomberg's solution is to import more illegal labor. Apparently the first 20 million wasn't enough. I guess you just can't have to many greenskeepers. Rome was sacked a number of times before she finally imploded. How many times can America stand this kind of domestic abuse?

I wouldn't have thought I could say this but Bloomberg's idea is an even more impotent economic stimulus than the new Bush tax cut proposal. Importing more cheap illegal labor? Isn't there a law against that? They ought to run him out of Gotham on a rail.

Bloomberg has a history of being a global elitist - so it is nothing new. I have trouble relating to his mentality but then I don't play much golf.

Bloomberg: More Immigration Helps Economy
Wednesday, January 23, 2008 11:18 AM
By: Newsmax Staff


New York City Mayor and potential presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg says that welcoming more immigrants to the U.S. is the key to solving America’s economic troubles.

“Our country has tried to look inward at the very time when we should be looking outward,” Bloomberg said at a press conference on Tuesday.

“We should be trying to encourage the best and the brightest from around the world to move here and bring their knowledge, bring their capital, bring their spirit to expand our economy, and sadly, I think we are going in the other direction.”

Bloomberg’s remarks echoed comments he made in last week State of the City address, when he praised immigrants’ role in the U.S. economy, the New York Sun reported.

In that address, he also criticized “those politicians who, all of a sudden, have embraced xenophobia,” an apparent swipe at the Republican presidential candidates.

The billionaire mayor said at Tuesday’s press conference that strong foreign markets will help drive the American economy.

“We, for example, need an economy in China that is flourishing. We export a lot to China as well as import from China. We need to have a Europe that is growing — that’s where we send a lot of our exports. We need to have people from around the world come here.”

The national scale of Bloomberg’s recent remarks about immigration, gun control and other issues has furthered speculation that he might run for president as an independent this year, according to the Sun.

Adding to that speculation, Bloomberg met last week in Texas with Clay Mulford, who helped mastermind Ross Perot’s 1992 third-party presidential campaign.

Clueless in Washington - It's the economy stupid!

Today the Bush administration finally acknowledged what many have seen coming for months - a recession. It reminds me of the fat lady that went to the emergency room complaining of stomach pains. Turns out she was having a baby. "Goodness me, how did that happen?" Not only did she not know she was pregnant but she couldn't remember how she got that way. The politicians come out with their thinly disguised phrases and platitudes. Fred Thompson called it a "slow patch". Doesn't really matter what you call it. The failure to deal with it speaks volumes of the incompetency of this CFR run government.

Earlier this year on Jan 4th Bush anounced that:

"Financial markets are strong and solid" and "this economy of ours is on a solid foundation, but we can’t take economic growth for granted,” Bush said. “And there are signs that will cause us to be ever more diligent and make sure that good policies come out of Washington."

At the same time David Rosenberg at Merrill Lynch announced:

The U.S. economy has entered into its first major recession in 16 years according to David Rosenberg, chief North American economist for Merrill Lynch, who declared the downturn in a research note to clients released on Monday. Mr Rosenberg wrote: "According to our analysis, this [recession] isn't even a forecast any more but is a present day reality."

He points to the four key barometers used by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NEBR) - employment, real personal income, industrial production, and real sales activity in retail and manufacturing. He wrote that these "seem to have peaked around the November-December period, strongly suggesting that we are actually into the first month of a recession."

Clearly one of these people doesn't have a clue. Merill Lynch ought know as it was their irresponsible investment in the risky subprime market (as well as many other) has had a lot to do with this "rough patch". I think they've lost @15 billion so far.

On January 8th the administration trots out Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on CNBC on a propaganda tour with a bunch of charts designed to convince people that the subprime mortgage crises really wasn't as bad as all that. Paulson had said in a speech in New York that the current housing correction was “inevitable and necessary” following five years of an unsustainable boom which saw sales and home prices hit record levels. What a joke these people are. No body is talking about investigating how this mess was created because they all are invested in it. Ed Kramer of Mad Money is the only one that seems to really get the level of fraud and dishonesty that is rampant in the good 'ol boys club of Wall Street and Washington and the FED these days. Business as usual.

Now Bush comes out today talking about another massive tax cut needed to stimulate the economy? Do you mean for the ""financial markets are strong and solid" and "this economy of ours is on a solid foundation"? If it's so strong and solid why do we need a massive tax cut to try and jolt us out of a recession that doesn't exist? In just two weeks it has deteriorated that much? To be honest proposing that a tax cut is going to help solve the current financial crisis (which is what it is) is tantamount to malpractice - but then they are professional politicians with their hands deep in Wall Street's pockets.

Now I don't have a problem with tax cuts but to suggest that they are going to solve this financial crises is silly. If Washington does not even understand the problem how can they fix it? The republican bobble heads will most likely soon all begin the tax cut mantra and I expect the democrats will also chime in - but only for the poor and middle class. How do tax cuts address the dishonesty and greed in the mortgage business? How do they address the ignorance of people that took out these subprime loans. How do they address the problem of illegals getting loans they don't qualify for to buy property they can't afford and really shouldn't own? How does it address the irresponsible actions of the FED under Greenspan which fueled this whole fake housing boom? How do they address the chronic problem of the government spending money it doesn't have for social programs we can't afford? How do they address the trade deficit which is the source of many of our economic problems.

Until these real problems are addressed intelligently and free from political ideology we will suffer. There are many other factors to this problem. Inflation and the soaring cost of commodities food and fuel are just a few. Washington is corrupted by the same rot that is infecting Wall Street and our financial institutions and the FED. Profit without moral guidance or the limitations that it imposes on greed of corporate America. Well, Corporate America is running our government and we see how poor a job they really do.

Illegal drug smuggling ring busted in Atlanta

Georgia has been identified as the new drug smuggling center for illegal drugs coming from Mexico through Texas. Interestingly Bush has done nothing to stop this nor has Michael Chertoff. Putting the DEA under his control is like asking the Mafia to police the Longshoreman. The recent bust is massive with 67 suspects apprehended. And yes they are all illegal aliens with connection to both Drug Cartels and Mexican gangs. Just another price Americans have to pay so the elite can have an open border policy that makes them richer.

Feds bust drug ring that used Atlanta area as operations hub

By The Associated Press

ATLANTA - Federal agents this week charged 67 people, put a dent in two Mexican drug cartels that used the Atlanta area as a hub of operations and seized large quantities of cash, cocaine and assault rifles.

Details of the multistate investigation were announced Friday as criminal complaints and indictments against the suspects were unsealed.

Investigators said the arrests and seizures reinforce that the Atlanta area has become a hub for drug trafficking because of its transportation and telecommunications systems and its proximity to large U.S. population areas.

"We'll make them pay by taking away their money, and we'll try to make them pay by taking away their freedom," U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said at a news conference where millions of dollars in seized cash and drugs were displayed.

The charges were a product of investigations targeting two Mexican drug trafficking organizations that allegedly smuggled cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana into the U.S. for distribution in Georgia, California, North Carolina, New York and elsewhere.

The drug cartels cooperated with each other, authorities said.

Authorities said the drugs would mostly be brought across the border into Texas and trucked to the Atlanta area for distribution to other parts of the country.

Criminal complaints and indictments against the suspects were issued over the course of several days starting Tuesday, and authorities have since arrested many of the defendants, though some remained at large Friday.

Charges against them include conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute a controlled substance. Nahmias said more charges were expected, and he added that the suspects would face significant prison time if convicted. Lawyers would be appointed to them if they didn't have their own, he said.

Nahmias said investigators had not yet determined how many, if any, of the suspects were illegal immigrants. While most of their full names were provided Friday, in many cases their hometowns and addresses were not.

A statement from prosecutors said 67 people were charged in federal court in Atlanta and that over the past several days 111 kilograms of cocaine, 17 pounds of crystal meth, roughly $8 million to $10 million in cash and at least 32 firearms were seized. Dozens of other people were arrested in California in an earlier but related investigation.

An agent suffered an injured ankle while chasing one of the suspects arrested in Georgia this week, and during another arrest shots were fired and a suspect was injured, Nahmias said, without elaborating. The injuries to the agent and the suspect were not life-threatening, he said.

Jeanne Assam - The Lioness of Judah

In the aftermath of the two recent church shootings in Colorado, a real American hero has emerged. Anyone would be a hero in this situation but Jeanne Assam seems to be an unlikely heroine in the right place at the right time doing and saying all the right things. I couldn't help but be impressed by her poise, confidence and humility. We are grateful that she was able to end what surely what would have been a much more tragic situation. Though recent reports indicate the gunman took his own life, there is no doubt that she played the conclusive role in stopping his murderous rampage. She is my hero!

This is a remarkable story of individual heroism. Her actions saved the lives of perhaps hundreds of people that morning. It was by her own recommendation that they increase security that fateful morning. That is being both attentive and obedient to God's will.

Here is her testimony in her own words:

There was applause as Assam spoke to reporters and TV cameras saying, "God guided me and protected me."

When asked by a reporter if she felt like a hero, Assam said, "I wasn't just going to wait for him to do further damage."

"I give credit to God," she said.

Assam described how the gunman, Matthew Murray, entered the east entrance of the church firing his rifle.

"There was chaos," Assam said, as parishioners ran away, "I will never forget the gunshots. They were so loud."

"I saw him coming through the doors" and took cover, Assam said. "I came out of cover and identified myself and engaged him and took him down."

"God was with me," Assam said. "I didn't think for a minute to run away."

Assam said she believes God gave her the strength to confront Murray, keeping her calm and focused even though he appeared to be twice her size and was more heavily armed.

Murray was carrying two handguns, an assault rifle and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition, said Sgt. Jeff Johnson of the Colorado Springs Police Department.

"It seemed like it was me, the gunman and God," she said.

Assam worked as a police officer in downtown Minneapolis during the 1990s and is licensed to carry a weapon. She attends one of the morning services and then volunteers as a guard during another service.

Boyd said Assam was the one who suggested the church beef up its security Sunday following the Arvada shooting, which it did. The pastor credited the security plan and the extra security for preventing further bloodshed.

Assam said she was ending three days of fasting on Sunday when fate put her in the path of the gunman.

"I was praying to God that he direct me" in what to do in life, Assam said. "God made me strong."

Amid deafening cracks of gunfire, smoke-spewing canisters and the flight of thousands of New Life Church members, Jeanne Assam said she suddenly saw the hallways clear and a gunman come through the door.

"I took cover. I identified myself. I engaged him. I took him down," the 42-year-old former law officer and volunteer church security guard said Monday at a news conference in the Colorado Springs police station.

"I just said, 'Holy Spirit, be with me.' I wasn't even shaking," Assam said. "I give the credit to God. I say this very humbly. God was with me."
Assam, a member of New Life for only a few months, admitted she had been without sleep since Sunday's midday shootings at Colorado's largest church.

Assam said she had just ended a three-day fast Sunday. During the fasting she prayed and asked God to help her decide what to do with her future and whether she should work again in law enforcement.

"I was weak," she said. "God made me strong. What was going through my mind is how awesome God is."

Clinton damage control imposes its will on Gov. Spitzer

I read the following article with a certain amount of amusement. These politicians are such slow learners. Apparently the Clinton people realized this issue was spiraling out of control. That we could only be so fortunate. Damage control Clinton style. Having waffled on the issue at the debate, she then committed herself to supporting Sptizer's plan to give illegal aliens drivers licences in New York so they could register to vote for her in 2008. Now that has proven to be a disaster for her poll numbers in Iowa. So the only solution was to get Spitzer to back off his plan and eat some humble pie. They hope it will all blow over and the issue will fade. Wrong again Hillary! This is not the Iraq where you can vote against it after you voted for it. This is the critical issue for America. Are we going to be a sovereign nation of many sovereign states or are we going to import millions of slave laborers from Mexico to mow our lawns and pick our lettuce?

She has shown clearly that she is for immigration reform. That means she is for importing slave laborers and giving them voting rights. The high reproduction rate of illegals insures the Democrats a majority at the voting booths across America. This is an inherent liability the gay lobby has not been able to overcome. Those gay couples don't reproduce very fast - go figure. And the no children urban yuppies don't help either. So it is obvious why panders like Hillary are falling over themselves trying to get illegal immigrant voting rights. I can only hope Wolf Blizter has enough courage not to be intimidated by the Clinton people. Hillary has existed in a bubble since she first entered the national political scene in 1992. The press essentially acts as her personal staff doing their best to make her look professional. She is know by those who have worked for her as a tyrant. The recent revelations of her planting questions in Townhall meetings and the mysterious generosity of poor Chinese immigrants have added to the recent bad smell of her campaign. It takes a village of idiots to still believe that Hillary is an honest straight forward person that represents some real hope for change in America. Apparently they have quite a few of those villages in Iowa and Hew Hampshire.

I can't help but wonder what was said to Spitzer to get him to back off this plan. Perhaps she sent him a picture of Vince Foster with a note that said, "think about it". Alas, we will probably never know the truth. Obviously he is their own personal political lapdog. In fact it was probably her people that got Spitzer to initiate the plan to get illegals registered to vote in New York for her in 2008. Bill has been very little political help for her. It seems the late nights of coke and women are finally taking their toll on Bill's wits and nose! I look forward to the debate in Vegas, only to see if she has manages to intimidate all those "boys" in the press and media. We can only hope that what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. I'm hoping for another performance like she had in Philly. She is starting to show some real weaknesses in her ability to handle some real political pressure. If the rest of the Democratic contenders are smart they will continue to gang up on her. Not that Barack O'bomber and pretty boy Edwards represent any kind of real alternative for America either. But if Russert or Blizter don't show up for work next week she will the number one suspect on my list!

OUT-OF-GAS ELIOT PUTS THE BRAKES ON LICENSE PLAN

And poor Hillary Clinton still can't make up her mind. This latest statement completely contradicts what she told Candy Crowley of CNN just one week ago! The US Senate just took the biggest drubbing ever by the American people on this issue and she still doesn't get it? If she hadn't been so busy running fior president she might have learned something by the defeat of Shamnesty.

Clinton Says No to Licenses for Illegals
Nov 14, 5:26 PM (ET)

By DEVLIN BARRETT

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday came out against granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, after weeks of pressure in the presidential race to take a position on a now-failed ID plan from her home state governor.
Clinton has faced criticism from candidates in both parties for her noncommittal answers on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's attempt to allow illegal immigrants in his state to receive driver's licenses. Spitzer abandoned the effort Wednesday.
"I support Governor Spitzer's decision today to withdraw his proposal," Clinton said in a statement. "As president, I will not support driver's licenses for undocumented people and will press for comprehensive immigration reform that deals with all of the issues around illegal immigration including border security and fixing our broken system."
Clinton stumbled when asked about the issue during a Democratic debate two weeks ago, and her new position comes the day before another debate where opponents are expected to raise the issue again.
Rival campaigns made clear they were not letting go of the issue.

What a joke she is!!!

Local 287g enforcement works in Georgia

The following video shows that the Sheriff Dept in Cobb County, GA is having some success doing the job that Chertoff and the Dept of Homeland insecurity won't do. While the illegal alien lobbies cry wolf, the fact is that enforcement of the law is effective. If the Law was enforced uniformly throughout the country, illegal aliens would soon find that the big candy store north of the border called the U.S.A., is not such a hospitable place to "migrate too". Mexico will have to learn to fix their own problems instead of exporting them to America.

287 g - Georgia Sheriff acts on illegal immigration

Hillary Clinton - Smartest woman in the world?

In 1992 when confronted by the Flower's accusation of Bill's adulterous ways, Hillary said she wasn't a "stand by your man" kind of gal - but in 1998 there she was standing by her man who finally got caught red handed with Monica. Now she tells her Democratic rivals, "if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen." I find that very interesting because I never saw Hillary as a Betty Crocker type of gal either? I guess presidential ambitions trump the feminist liberation ideals of her formative liberal years at Wellesley. Long gone are the carefree braless summer days reading Lenin, Mao, and Friedan with Bill at Yale. Her political ambitions would also explain why she not only tolerated Bill's adultery but zealously defended him. He was after all her meal ticket to the Whitehouse. Now is that a marriage made in heaven, or hell?

Here is my simple question for Hillary. If you are so smart why are you taking a position on Spitzer's plan for legal drivers licences for illegals that according to a recent poll 77% of Americans are against? Well, she now admits, "I wasn't at my best the other night". So even the smartest woman in the world can have a bad night. But what was a bad night has now been extended into a bad week. According to Lou Dobbs recent polls have her plummeting 7% since the fateful debate when she was outed by the now reviled Tim Russert. Funny, I always thought of Russert was one of the good 'ol liberal boys in the media. He ought to be careful or he could end up swimming with the fishes like Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and James Macdougal, but I digress into the as yet unproven allegations that she had something to do with their convenient and untimely demise. Some say that Bill is the one that had them killed but I'll confess I've always seen the killer potential in Hillary. Cold hearted, cruel, calculating, corrupt, and cool headed are some of the more dominant characteristics I've seen in her over the years. And we have seen her lose her cool now haven't we!

Pandering to illegals and "immigration reform" is political suicide for any politician of either party in America today - Massachusetts Kennedy fans(morons) excepted. In her recent interview with Candy Crowley of CNN, she stubbornly defended her support of the issue. She ought to consult with immigration flip-flopper John (I never met an illegal I didn't like) McCain on just how unpopular an issue this is with the American people. It just killed his presidential bid. It will end hers too and rightfully so as it was during the Clinton years when illegal immigration went from a trickle to a flood. NAFTA, free trade and open borders were all Clinton policies. Free trade in humans too apparently "doing the work that Americans won't do." It is a losing issue of the ruling oligarchy of international bankers and business and the one world global elitists.

So you can't say she was just having a bad night. She is finally revealing her true chameleon nature. The veneer of her "noblesse oblige" has worn off. A chicken in every pot and $5000 for every baby. Flip flopping along like John Kerry and pandering to illegals like Bush. We already have a 'Panderer in Chief' in the Whitehouse. We don't need another. Within two minutes she was both for and against the Spitzer plan. Well, apparently now after consulting with her staff she has decided to come out for "immigration reform." Now there is a platform with real populist support! All I can say is, "you go girl." I'd also have to say she looked terrible tonight on CNN. With those baggy eyes, tight bitchy lips and strident tone she looked like she hadn't slept in a week. Apparently she has now forsaken the cleavage strategy that never could keep Bill's interest for a real winning issue like "immigration reform." She really hasn't got all that much going for her, with the exception of the MSM constantly lauding her and all that dirty campaign money being laundered through Chinatown. Who would have guessed that she was such a draw with Chinese immigrants that can't speak a lick of English. And just how does somebody making $10 dollars an hour come up with a $1000 political gift for Hillary anyway? That some sacrifice! A real widow's mite.

And to add more fuel to the fire Kathleen Willey, former Bill Clinton fan, wants to pile on to poor Hillary too with her new book accusing the Clintons of killing her husband? Wow, just how far will Bill go to get laid? Do I see a pattern here? Can anybody connect the dots? Oh, the injustice of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy! Just how gullible are the Democrats? Just how desperate are they to return to power? Who could be dense enough to be fooled by this pair of Arkansas "white trash" love birds. But, there they go again and Bill's recent feeble attempt to defend his "wife" from being swiftboated seems to have backfired already. Oh - for the good old days when the Clintons could say anything and get away with it.

O.K., I admit it. I don't feel sorry for them at all! Does that now make me a part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy? Oh, I do hope so!

All I can say for Hillary is "You Go Girl"!
