Right now Bill Press is discussing President
Obama and the retirement of Attorney General Eric Holder and I’m happy to see
that Bill Press agrees with me because Holder was an ineffective cabinet post
among so many ineffective cabinet posts.
The only areas where Holder was aggressive is hasseling Arizona law
enforcement- - and going after reporters and whistle blowers. He not only gave the Bush and Chaney war
crimes a pass- - and all CIA people suspected of mistreating prisoners a pass,
but most importantly of all the President gave all the Wall Street crooks a
pass. The President claimed to have done
prosecutions in the banking area but almost universally I’ve heard that none of
the big people went to jail. There was a
6.2 earthquake in Alaska near Anchorage yesterday that shook a political
headquarters.
Let’s talk about police
relations and incidents a little. The
Ferguson police chief stated that the body was left out on the street for hours
“because we wanted to make sure all of the paper work was in order”. But no ambulance was ever called and no
witnesses were even questioned. Now we
have a case where an officer stops a man for failure to fasten his seat belt,
and the guy gets out of the car when ordered to by the officer. The officer asks for ID and he says “The
wallet is in my car” and turns to get it and on the video the officer screams
something unintelligible at him and then fires his gun - - four times a split
second later. The man survived and will
live to tell his side. Meanwhile that
Highway Patrol incident of a Black woman being beaten with nine blows - - was
settled out of court for a million dollars.
The officer did not admit any guilt and is permitted to resign with full
pension. Then there is the case in Ohio
of this guy in a Wall Mart picking up a toy gun in the store and being killed
by an officer. They just announced that
this man will not be charged. Those seem
the rules of the game. I’d like the
chance to ask any officer, “Why don’t you wait till you actually SEE the gun
before you start shooting in these cases”.
I may be told “It’s officer safety”.
Then I’d make a simple comment to the officer or group “You people don’t
place a very high value on human, life, do you”.
Now they are saying
that the United States has dropped more bombs on ISIS in Iraq and Syria in the
past two days since the latest campaign- - than in the foregoing six weeks
combined, or whatever. I was unable to
find President Obama’s UN address on terror on You Tube, or on C-Span. It does seem that Sean Hannity is wrong,
though. He said “bombing is useless
unless you can get boots on the ground to secure and consolidate the
territory”. But in reality we have
accomplished quite a bit in the past few days.
We have wiped out their refineries and oil fields so they don’t have
that source of revenue they were relying on.
In short they have been “degraded”.
Now people in the FBI say they
have identified the British guy who did the first three beheadings by the
desert landmarks and eyes and hands.
They even attempted a face composite.
I feel like a complete idiot even attempting blog posts these days as
though people read them. Britain has
just voted to go to war against ISIS.
Meanwhile the United States will still have ten thousand troops
remaining Afghanistan, according to Norman Goldman.
Wisconsin has
successfully taken 300,300 people off the voter ID rolls. But it just isn’t photo ID that’s the
problem. There is some “Wisconsin
militia” unofficially enforcing these voter restrictions. Who are they? First of all it’s no secret that these people
have admitted that they are doing all these measures to keep progressive voting
down. But they do so many other
things. They limit the dept of motor
vehicles to three days a week and cut back the hours. Or they will farm out the production of the
licenses to “California” to insure that it takes a maximum amount of time to
arrive in the mail, perhaps when it’s too late to register. People in North and South Dakota and Wyoming
and have a problem with “registration” and even do it the same day. But they don’t have a “liberal problem” in
these states. They change the precincts
to make them cover a lot more people in the poorer communities. They make it hard for the elderly or the blind
or people in wheel chairs to get transportation. Illegal
aliens would not try to vote illegally because they’d make themselves an
instant target for investigation. In
fact individual voter qualification fraud is and has been almost nonexistent. Justice Reinquist used to stand in polling
stations in high concentration Latino areas just to scare away voters in
line. But when one time in Ohio three
black people from “the new Black panther” party with Billy-clubs stood to
protect voting of Blacks - - this was a major intimidation and FOX news has
gone on and on about “The new Black panther party” ever since. They redraw congressional district lines to
get two liberal democrats or minority house members running against each other
in the same district now. Try as I
might – I can’t even pretend to think like a tea party person.
Mike Papentonio had a
lot of stuff on Californian Proposition 46.
First of all nobody wants there to be more malpractice suits. We would like to see much fewer of them. But to do that we need to get rid of the bad
doctors. So we need to drug test these
doctors. And we also need a drug
database coordinated with law enforcement where all parties can check to see
how many of these “drug pushing doctors” are in opporation that will write a
prescription for anything at the drop of a hat.
I guess California is getting as bad as Florida, which is the undisputed
capital of the “pill doctors”. But just
as significantly- - all plantiffs are asking for is to have the dollar limit of
their malpractice suits have the dollar buying power that they had in 1978 when
the award limiting cap law was put in place.
Is that so awful. So the question
is asked “Why pays?” It SHOULD be the
doctor. Why should WE give up OUR rights
to our day in court and attorneys won’t even take cases if the bottom line
isn’t high enough - - why should innocent patients be put at risk to subsidize-
- - malpractice insurance? I don’t even
know why they should even INSURE a doctor who keeps having these cases. Ordenary people are denied insurance if the
risk is too high - - like living in a hurricane zone. These doctors themselves are responsible for
their torts. They are the one whose
responsibility it is to pay up – not us.
I don’t see why they just don’t revoke the medical licenses of repeat
offender doctors. Of course when they
don’t run a single add FOR proposition 46 the debate tends to be a little
lopsided.
I had Sean Hannity on till eight to three and
he was going on about how many jobs there were in Pennsylvania - - with
fracking natural gas, but they don’t allow it in New York “which is
languishing”. Now they are saying if
you’re willing to relocate you’ll be paid top dollar of forty or fifty thousand
dollars. Maybe I’m a little rusty in my
math but the last time Hannity said you could earn a starting salary of eighty
thousand straight out of high school.
These
days it’s the Jihad dating game because “ISIS Wants Women” and you too can
marry a terrorist. Seriously! “Where do you see yourself in five
years?” “Dead”. “Good answer”. Now
there is a lengthly letter from Islamic clerics quoting from the Koran saying
that “To take an innocent life is to murder the entire race”, or
something. I set a record yesterday for
fewness of cigarettes I’m pretty sure.
From eleven o clock on I had only two cigarettes the entire rest of the
day. I did get a long butt from Gary at
seven and I had one from somebody just after dinner and got white one from
Richard more just after seven- - and was so happy to have received it I saved
it till ten to eight during Wheel of Fortune.
I had it as my abiding goal not to use my debit card till this morning
when among other things I could get fresh brewed coffee with it at the store. After this it was the “Vampire Diaries” and
“The Originals” but the plots of these two shows have a way of becoming almost
cartoonish - - with a lot of fire and fury.
Apparently the owner of the Clippers is banishing apple products with their phones that bend- - for “Surface” by Microsoft. The Federation has been very quiet about its opinion of Bill Gates and Microsoft- - only that - - the Federation is not instrumental in Seatle’s left wing politics or fifteen dollar minimum wages. On the other hand of course - - if you are talking about Nevada, all but Idaho and a lot of Utah, well we’re right there. You can’t therefore necessarily conclude that “troops on the ground” translates to politics. Just so you know – when the Federation refers to “909’ers” they refer to the San Gabriel Valley up to but not including El Monte- - and the whole western part of San Barnadino county for places like Ontario, Fontana and Cucamonga. The 909ers also consist of Reigel VI and the Detroit Romulans, too and the common denominator is Auto Racing and places like the Rout 66 conclave.
