Drones Fly Kids Die
I was out jogging my normal routine along the San Diego coast this morning which runs by the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier, a tourist attraction that is now a museum now that drawing many Veterans from all over the U.S. as well as foreign veterans. Just across the sidewalk from the USS Midway was the guy seen in the picture below who was standing next to a drone replica and a sign that read, "Drones Fly, Kids Die." I stopped and asked him what his purpose was in displaying the … [Read More...]
Ask Bush and Obama Where Your Jobs Went America!
The unemployment rate in the United States has been running at a high rate since the financial crisis of 2008. While the current government figure for those unemployed as seen in the chart below is 7.9%, it doesn't take into account those who have been unemployed too long, but does count those who took any job at a lesser pay just so they can feed their family and pay their bills. I am sure that most people in America know of someone close to them who is unemployed, whether friend or … [Read More...]
Obama’s Fictional Son Might Get Injured Playing Football While Our Real Sons Die Fighting His Wars
President Obama came out recently and said if he had a son, he probably wouldn't let that son play football most likely in reference to how violent he thinks the game of football is. Jim Harbaugh, coach of the Superbowl XLVII team the San Francisco 49ers, said that he was happy about Obama's stance since it would mean "less competition" in the future for his son Jack who is 4 months old. You can watch Harbaugh's reaction to Obama's comments in the video below. In listening to … [Read More...]
Health Insurance Premiums Going Up Double Digits As Government Solutions Fail Again
If this doesn't make your blood boil, I don't know what will. An article today from CNBC states Health Insurers Raise Some Rates by Double Digits. An excerpt; In California, Aetna is proposing rate increases of as much as 22 percent, Anthem Blue Cross 26 percent and Blue Shield of California 20 percent for some of those policy holders, according to the insurers' filings with the state for 2013. These rate requests are all the more striking after a 39 percent rise sought by Anthem … [Read More...]
It’s Bush’s Fault, No Wait, It’s Obama’s Fault
It's Bush's fault! No, wait, it's Obama's fault! Will we someday learn it's government spending and Federal Reserve policy that are the main problems for our economy? A nation cannot spend itself into prosperity just like you personally can't keep increasing your debt without eventual consequences. And the Federal Reserve can't keep implementing QE into perpetuity or bailing out favored banks and financial institutions at taxpayer expense. Raising taxes on the … [Read More...]
Makes You Think? More Fearmongering by the Neo-conservatives
There is an email floating around, trying to stir up fear of Muslims and Persians by showing pictures of various countries decades ago versus today. It's ironic that the U.S. media doesn't tell us that our own government via the CIA was involved or responsible for some of this change as you'll see. But what's worse is the silence by the Democrats who were so anti-war 4 years ago and want to raise taxes to pay for it rather than make cuts. Who are you today Democrats and … [Read More...]
America Loses Tomorrow With Romney or Obama
America loses tomorrow either way as these two political parties will continue to do what they do best; spend money that's not theirs but that of future slaves indebted to their masters. Sure, you may think your vote counts, but it doesn't reduce debt and neither do these political parties as both sides have proven over the years (Reagan increased debt and Clinton reduced deficits, not the nations debt during his tenure for those who praise either as an example of success). Change … [Read More...]
85 Canadian Companies Trade With Cuba Creating Jobs While US Unemployment Rate Remains High
Want to create some more jobs in America? How about lifting the embargo and sanctions on Cuba that has been ongoing since 1960? Why is it that Canada gets to reap the benefit of doing business with Cuba to the tune of over 85 companies operating there right now while the U.S. is experiencing one of its worse unemployment rates since the Great Depression? Shouldn't we be doing all we can to confront this issue? Canada gets it; From Wiki; In 1994, a joint venture was formed between … [Read More...]
U.S. Foreign Policy Is Like A Dog Pissing On Trees Leaving Its Mark On Every Muslim Country
I went for a run this morning and on the way back I noticed a man and his dog walking in front of me. The dog was stopping at every tree, marking its territory and moving along its jolly way. I stopped and petted the dog, a friendly one, as Labrador Retriever's are. You can tell by looking at a dog most of the time whether it is friendly or not. When it comes to American foreign policy though, how do most of the rest of the world view us? Do they view us as a Labrador Retriever, or as … [Read More...]
The Barackazillion – The Only Currency You Will Ever Need
With all the talk of a gold standard by the Republicans of late, and with the elections upon us, I thought it would be a good time tell people about The Barackazillion, a new currency that can solve all your debt problems. The Barackazillion is the first currency in the United States that has a smiling President on it. It's "as good as gold." It even has a picture of Fort Knox on it! It's "money you can believe in." In fact, it's the world's strongest currency. Watch the … [Read More...]
Obama or Romney? When It Comes to the Economy, It Doesn’t Matter
I love how facebook and other discussions are centered around politics during an election year. I get to sit back and ask questions of both the Republicans and the Democrats by challenging them on the real issues that plague America. What I find is that most really don't see the underlying big picture that will affect everyone moving forward. There are many reasons for this, stemming from media control to the plethera of entertainment shows that keep people's minds busy on pointless … [Read More...]
Will Romney and the Republicans Lose In November?
Answer this question....which candidate, Mitt Romney or Barack Obama will be better for the economy over the next four years? Most people would answer Romney. The correct answer is, it doesn't matter. Why? Because over the next four years we're going to see this economy begin to head south. It's a matter of simple math and an understanding that whatever comes out of a politician's mouth during an election year means nothing. Obama said four years ago he would get our troops home and … [Read More...]
There Could Be Real Hope and Change for America, But Most Don’t Want It
The following is an excerpt from my book, "Buy Gold and Silver Safely" written in September, 2010. I decided to get political in the book because politics is very much a part of investing. This section below follows my analysis of what caused the beginning of the financial crisis to begin with and is part of Chapter 4 which is an outline of what's to come. But more importantly, it reveals the root of the problem is with We the People ourselves. Getting Political For a … [Read More...]
A Vote for Obama May Be the Best Thing That Has Ever Happened to the Liberty Movement
Those of us who want America to return to it's Liberty roots have some tough decisions ahead of us in November 2012, but our decisions this year will shape the future of America in 2016 and beyond. For some, they may think it is a choice between Liberty and Death this election as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington heard shouted from the audience during a speech given by Patrick Henry at St. Johns Church in Richmond, Virginia leading up to the Revolutionary War in 1775. We are … [Read More...]
