The “Iron Lady,” Maggie Thatcher, dead at 87

Posted on by

Passing away in the UK Monday morning following a stroke, the staunchest ally of President Ronald Reagan has died at the age of 87.

C921-25Margaret Thatcher was not only the first woman to lead any form of a major Western government, she was the first and only UK female Prime Minister.

Remembrances in Britain are running primarily along the lines of “she was a good PM but divisive, cold, uncaring, war-like, unmovable” and the like.

UK, let me distill things down for you: she saved your ass.

Some comments regarding Illegals

Posted on by

Obama Undocumented DemocratsFirst, check this link.

Then note the first comment, penned by a Leftist idiot who thinks that accurate communication is as important as tits on a hubcap:

Well this is basacally a rasist comment to put hate on more people the economic problem is not on illegal aliens” is on a system that rule the world i bet my life that this Doctor” employ humans slaves workers paying nickels for services.

From this source — the second commenter makes an excellent and accurate summation:

  • You don’t need to be using the term “racists” when you can’t even SPELL the word or “basically”. We are overrun by 100 million illegals, NOT the 12 million constantly touted by the press for the last 40 years. THEY get paid under the table, subverting American workers, and DON’T PAY INCOME TAXES! Not only THAT, the IRS is GIVING them huge IRS scam payouts, with protection and no audits. I put the blame squarely on Congress, especially the northeast states, and on the entire FEDERAL government for REFUSING to do their job of border control. THEY ARE OPENLY INVITING THESE ILLEGALS WITH JOBS, NO PROSECUTION, AND OPEN BORDERS. Taxpayers are paying for Bill Gates’ workers public schools, foodstamps, medical bills, border babies with monthly stipends for diapers and food, food stamps, SSI and social security payments, prisons, more teachers, more schools, more police, more highways, more courts, and FREE ATTORNEYS for the huge number of crimes, murders, rapes they commit. If war breaks out here in America, I’m coming for THEM first and then their benefactors.

    JOE LEGAL vs JOSE ILLEGAL

    You have 2 families… “Joe Legal” and “Jose Illegal”. Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California.

    “Joe Legal” works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted.

    “Jose Illegal” also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash “under the table”.

    Joe Legal… $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week = $52,000 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.

    Jose Illegal… $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week = $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.

    Joe Legal pays for Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage … $1000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $19,231.00.

    Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

    Joe Legal makes too much money to be eligible for Food Stamps or Welfare so Joe Legal pays for food… $1,000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.

    Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

    Joe Legal pays rent of $1,000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal is now in the hole -<$4,769.00>.

    Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy, which entirely pays his rent of $500.00 per month = $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

    Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays and gets a part time job after work to make ends meet.

    Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

    Joe Legal’s and Jose Illegal’s children both attend the same school.

    Joe Legal pays for his children’s lunches while Jose Illegal’s children get free government sponsored lunches.

    Joe Legal’s children go home after school. Jose Illegal’s children have an after school ESL program which, again, is provided free of charge.

    Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe Legal paid for them and Jose Illegal did not pay.

Imagine that.

So why would both sides of the aisle agree to this “illegal amnesty for Mexicans” abortion-on-toast?  Answer: money and power.  And the ability to keep themselves entrenched into their positions so they can keep their money and power flowing incessantly.

Finally: sometimes there are inherently more truths expressed in comments than in the original articles themselves.  This would be one of those times.

“China losing patience” — bad for Norks?

Posted on by

NK Situation GraphicFrom the UKTelegraph:

China ‘shifts position’ on North Korea

There are clear signs that China is losing patience with North Korea, America’s former top diplomat in Asia has said.

The age-old worry is that, should “something” occur to North Korea in response to any overt and violent move it may make towards its southern neighbor, the US or other countries, China will intervene and the escalation will become systemic and unstoppable.

Time to re-think that position?

Fast-food workers strike, citing low wages: ‘It’s not enough’

Posted on by

NYC McDonalds FF StrikeHello?  It’s called an “entry level wage” and it’s not meant as a life-long career.

From MSNBC:

By Barbara Raab, Senior Producer, NBC News

They work for some of the biggest businesses in the United States, yet they are among the country’s lowest-paid workers.

On Thursday, fast-food workers staged walkouts at McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell and other restaurants in New York City to call attention to their plight. Organizers scheduled the job actions to commemorate the day Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated 45 years ago in Memphis, where he was supporting a strike by sanitation workers.

“It’s not enough,” Elba Godoy, a crew member at a McDonald’s just a few blocks from Times Square, said of her $7.25-per-hour minimum wage, which helps support her extended family of seven. “They don’t like [that we’re out here], but we have to do it. We cannot survive on $7.25.”

Clue: you don’t make more than minimum wage at McDonalds and elsewhere because you don’t deserve it.  Strike all you want.  Then get a job that requires some ambition and aspiration.

NORKs: talked into a corner?

Posted on by

Kim Jong UnAnd, once again, the North Korea rhetoric escalates to the point where most people cannot deny it — with the exception of Mr Obama.  From Kim Jong Un, Fat Boy.  Essentially the only fat boy in the entire country.

N. Korea approves nuclear strike on United States

By Jung Ha-Won (AFP) – 2 hours ago 

SEOUL — North Korea dramatically escalated its warlike rhetoric on Thursday, warning that it had authorised plans for nuclear strikes on targets in the United States.

“The moment of explosion is approaching fast,” the North Korean military said, warning that war could break out “today or tomorrow”.

And so, with this kind of overt verbiage, who could possibly not take the NORKs at their word?

That’s right.  The current US administration.
