Obama's Communist Advisor Resigns (As He Should)

Van Jones has resigned.  He was exposed a) as a self described communist as recently as 4 years ago, and b) he signed his name to a petition that wanted an investigation into the possible government involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officials had allowed the attacks to occur.

This is a battle won by Glenn Beck who has really started to get under the skin of the Obama administration by investigating the Czars appointed by the White House in key positions.  The Czars are advisors that allow the President to bypass the checks and balances of Senate approval which the Cabinet needs to go through.

Hmmm, I still don’t see anything. Let’s look at the third quarter of the story and see if we can find what is conspicuously missing.

Wow. Still can’t figure it out? Let’s look at the fourth and final quarter. In particular, look in the 41st paragraph of a 44 paragraph story.

Ontario Liberals Blow YOUR Dough

In what is a classic example of the taxpayer being OfficiallyScrewed, the Ontario Liberal government is diving for cover today after two years worth of OLG expenses are revealed indicating that write offs on our tax tab included the following:

  • gym memberships worth $250
  • Weight Watchers memberships
  • club link golf fees
  • a $1,500 bar tab at a $3,700 dinner for 38 people
  • a $500 nanny fee so that a vice-president member could attend meetings, an amount since repaid

Simply disgusting.

And acting like the knight riding in to rescue us tax payers, Liberal Dwight Duncan is shedding political tears over this and vowing to clean up.  Shame on us.  We are going to send ourselves to our rooms with no dinner.  No dessert for us.

Boo freaking hoo.  I am astounded even more by two other pieces of information that have come to light about this OLG Scandal.

1)  The OLG was issuing untendered contracts.  The same way the $6 Billion dollar E-Health scandal had.

and

2)  All this is following a slew of other problems with the OLG.

The gaming corporation has been scrutinized for the last two years after questionable insider wins, malfunctioning slot machines, spoiled scratch-and-win tickets and a controversial decision to purchase foreign cars as lottery prizes at a time when the Ontario government agreed to a financial bailout for its struggling auto industry.

The OLG should just fold itself up and go home.

OS Bookshelf – Fleeced by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann

FleecedWhat I loved about this book is its’ title. Fleeced. Everywhere in the book where the word “fleeced” appears, you could swap in the words “officially screwed”.

The content is actually pretty good too. It addresses several topics and how the American governments (both Republican and Democrat) are fleecing the tax payers.

Morris covers several topics including the media, the do nothing Congress, pension funds, credit care companies, hedge fund billionaires, the Teachers Union and many others. Each chapter also includes a bit of information on what people can do to fight being fleeced.

What was very pleasing to see was a sentence in the conclusion that reminds me of this blog’s tagline “You either pay attention or pay through the nose. I would rather pay attention.”

The only way to avoid being fleeced by our own government is to pay attention to what our elected and appointed representatives are doing – or not doing – in Washington.

Although this book is geared towards the American system, the lesson to pay attention is important in all democratic nations.

Unions Strike…Again

Timing is everything. And Ottawa’s museum workers have voted in a landslide to strike with a likely start date to be in mid September just in time for the new school year.

As they have been working without a contract since April 1st, the timing of this strike could not be more opportune for the union. In typical fashion, they will aim to disrupt our lives as much as possible because they know what we all know. The primary visitors to museums are school children on school trips and a strike in April and through the summer will not garner any attention or cause any disruption. But there is an added reason they waited from April to September. And it all has to do with who takes the children to these museums?

Unionized teachers of course.

Mark my words. This means that we can count on teachers complaining about how important school trips to the two museums are and that it is important for the government to settle with the strikers so classes can go on field trips. All in a show of union solidarity.

If parents don’t stand firm and make it clear to teachers that they do not feel that field trips to these museums are necessary, you can rest assured that tax payers will, once again, get OfficiallyScrewed.

Glenn Beck Urges Americans To Do Their OWN Homework – Reasonable Questions For Unreasonable Times – Day 4

American President Barry O has come out and said the following:

We can not continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We’ve gotta have a civilian security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.

This quote raises a whole slew of questions that remain unanswered.

Day 4
– Why do we need a civilian force?

– Who is posing a threat to us?

– Who will this “force” be made up of?

– Who is the real enemy?

– Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?

– Why won’t the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?

These questions REALLY make you wonder. If they don’t, you’re probably spending too much time listening to Lindsay Loserhan or watching Wheel of Boredom and not paying enough attention to the real world.

Glenn Beck Urges Americans To Do Their OWN Homework – Reasonable Questions For Unreasonable Times – Day 3

Here are the questions from Day 3 in the 5 part series. Note that some of these questions are not hard to dig the answers up to as you will shortly see here on this Blog.

Many of you know I am very much a libertarian. My primary focus is to make sure politicians stop “officially screwing” the tax payer. If you feel the same way and are an American. You HAVE to ask these questions of your congressman, your state Senators and eventually your very self.

Day 3
– Why does the FCC have a diversity “czar”?

– Who is Mark Lloyd and how does he plan to “balance” the airwaves?

– Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine or worse?

– Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?

– Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?

– Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government wont regulate free speech?

– Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?

If Lloyd has his way, stations who don’t comply to the governments definition of the “public interest” will have to pay a massive fine — that helps support public broadcasting:

– What will be the definition of “public interest”?

– Who defines “public interest”?

– Why should it be balanced? Because it’s public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house and I don’t count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them)
