Nancy Pelosi: a pay cut would undermine “dignity” of the job

Right.

Nancy PelosiFrom TheHill.com:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of lawmakers’ jobs.

“I don’t think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. “I think it’s necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded.”

So remember, boys and girls, the moral of the story is:

When your boss or your company suggests you take a pay cut, you can quote a Famous Demorat and say: “I’m sorry, I can’t do that; it would undermine the dignity of my job.”

It’ll work every time.  Guaranteed.

Leftists: it’s not about gun confiscation — except when it is

Obama Gun ConfiscationMissouri is about to pass a bill that would, in fact, confiscate firearms from lawful gun owners.  From GatewayPundit.com:

Missouri Democrats Introduce Legislation to Confiscate Firearms – Gives Gun Owners 90 Days to Turn in Weapons

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, February 14, 2013, 9:52 AM

Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution.

Here’s part of the Democratic proposal in Missouri:

4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:

(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;

(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or

(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.

5. Unlawful manufacture, import, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of an assault weapon or a large capacity magazine is a class C felony.

Clear evidence of what the bulk of Conservatives and those who believe in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights knew all along: Leftists and Demorats do in fact want to confiscate firearms, outright, from American citizens.

A moment to breathe

Cat EmbarrassedI’ve written and re-written this post five times now.

There’s so much going on these days and this week.

First to my mind: the wretched and twisted immolation (with much hope) of Christopher Dorner, nothing more than a narcissist who happens to have been black.  Get in line, Dorner, as you queue up in Hell.  The lines are lengthy and the heat unbearable.  Get used to it, sir, because you placed yourself there, and no one else.  My guess is that you were a mentally deficient genetic mutant from your early years and accepted into LAPD and the Navy because you were used.  Yes, you were used.  But not in the way you imagined.  So I suppose that one of your alleged “grievances” was accurate in terms of your being nothing more than a Convenient Tool.  But used by those who wanted you for nothing more than a statistic.  You were a black male that made the LAPD quotas and Navy quotas appear congruent.  They knew about your violent background but they purposely overlooked your history because you yielded another stat.  So yes, Dorner: you were used.  By GOWPs.  By the Leftists and Demorats and PC invertebrates you so embraced.

You were a Convenient Tool; now you are a crispy and smouldering Tool.  InfoWars is making you into a fallen martyr.  Let me be plain: fuck them.  Is that sufficiently clear for all of my readers?  Dorner was a narcissistic murderer who fooled many who were stupid and ignorant: GOWPs.  Guilty, Overeducated White People.  He was a deceitful mutant from his time of birth.  His mother, specifically, was so terribly concerned about his plight that she was drinking wine and eating chips during the standoff.  As covered by CBS.

Mr Obama made his SOTU speech on Tuesday.  Rentoon rentoon rentoon.  Blah blah blah.  Mr Obama’s bullshit is no more cohesive, logical, remarkable, stunning, innovative or insightful than it was in 2007 and 2008.

He is nothing more than any other Leftist Hack: tax and spend.  Tax and spend.  TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS in debt: we need to spend some more.  His SOTU speech was the least-watched since 2000.

Obama’s fecal material hasn’t worked yet; it won’t work now.  It is old and hackneyed and predictable and doddering.

Obama’s only advantage?  The only difference between he and other Leftist Hacks?  Correct!  His melanin count.  Effective with?  Yes!  GOWPs.

John Kerry is still an apologist and, literally, ineffective.

But perhaps of greater significance today:

Hillary WILL run in 2016, claims wealthy Greek donor (who says Bill told him)

A wealthy Democratic donor is fanning the flames of speculation that Hillary Clinton is indeed running for president.

Sacramento developer Angelo Tsakopoulos says Bill Clinton has confirmed the presumed plan that the former Secretary of State will make a bid for the White House again.

The millionaire told the Greek Reporter that Clinton’s husband revealed his wife’s political ambition, as the power couple gear up for a 2016 race.

This information sources from the area of my work.  And the Greeks control much of Sacramento via their money, to include former Sheriffs.  I could name at least three.  So when people accredit some future performances to the influence of Greek cash, I pay attention.

Further, I continue to ramble on:

Is there anyone besides me who finds the voice of Mr Obama to be similar to that of cracked nails on a chalkboard or — worse yet — having to listen to Fran Drescher?

I am SO incredibly tired of hearing his lying voice covered every day, every week, every month.  When his mouth opens one can count on lies issuing forth.

Just like a Muslim from Afghanistan hosted by the State of Fornicalia, defecating in the shower instead of the toilets.  On a visa.  Not like that happened or anything.

With a moment to breathe, I write this:

Did anyone over 50 — like me (ahem) — EVER think that their country could be so incredibly elitist or ignorant or insufferable or stupid or so easily duped or so simple or so needy or so dependent or so willing to subvert, controvert and ignore our foundational documents such as the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

I quite simply could not have predicted this 20 years ago.  I saw it coming, but I was likewise ignorant.

And with this as something of a logical Bottom Line:

With all of the things that Leftists “want” —

HOW is it that they plan to PAY for all of these so-called “wants” — ?

No one ever seems to address this, except the most meager of Republicans and the bulk of Independents and True Conservatives.

You may WANT;

But how do you plan to PAY?

With the Demorats, they don’t have a plan to do so.  They don’t seem to treat money as actual cash — as a thing that requires some form of sacrifice or cost —  physically or psychically or psychologically or monetarily.  It just IS because it can simply be DECLARED to be so.

Yes, I’m wandering.  Yes, I’m venting.  Yes, I’m platforming.  Go with me.  I think you’re there, you’re already with me.  .  .

Because it all adds up to: INSANITY.

And further, it adds up to not just insanity but insanity seeking money and power and control over those who could possibly OBJECT to the centralization of powers in DC.

Your thoughts?

Christopher Dorner trapped: “Hundreds of rounds fired during gun battle”

I was working on the motorcycle earlier today, running it up, charging the battery, lubing the chain, and just recently went down to my small grocery store.  I saw the owner had the TV on and it appeared that law enforcement had Dorner trapped in a cabin somewhere near Big Bear.

My grocer said most succinctly: “I think they’re going to make Swiss cheese out of him.”

I suspect my grocer nailed it.

From the LATimes.com:

“Hundreds of rounds” were exchanged in about half an hour during the gun battle between fugitive former police officer Christopher Dorner and law enforcement officers Tuesday afternoon, sources said.

At least two San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies were wounded, sources said. Their conditions were not immediately known.

Days ago, Dorner broke into a cabin off Route 38, a source said. He allegedly tied up the couple inside and held them hostage until Tuesday morning when he left. It is unclear whether Dorner stole their vehicle or another, but Fish and Wildlife officers knew to be on the lookout for a white pickup truck when they spotted Dorner driving one and attempted to stop him, the source said.

Dorner crashed the truck during the ensuing chase and allegedly exchanged gunfire with the officers as he fled into another cabin, where he was quickly surrounded by San Bernardino sheriff’s deputies. The source said one deputy was hit as Dorner fired out of the cabin and a second was injured when Dorner exited the back of the cabin, deployed a smoke bomb and opened fire again in an apparent attempt to flee. Dorner was driven back inside the cabin, the source said.

There was initial confusion as to where a helicopter should land to evacuate the injured officers,  so deputies used their own smoke bombs to provide enough cover to carry the wounded to a pickup truck that took them to the waiting helicopter.

At this point, the media helicopters — which initially circled directly over the scene and fed live video to LA stations — have been pushed five miles back and have a 13,000-foot floor, created by an FAA TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction), requested by law enforcement.  Dorner would have had to do nothing more than watch satellite TV in order to discern the approach, setup and tactics of responding San Bernardino County Sheriff officers and other responders in Seven Oaks.  There is one way in and out: Route 38.

Information now indicates that, of the two officers who were assaulted today by Dorner, one of them has died at the Loma Linda Trauma Center.

Dorner has now killed four persons: two civilians and two “fellow” officers.  He has wounded three persons.  None of the officers or the civilians were directly involved in the events from which Dorner took umbrage.

So the gloves have to come off.

My grocer is absolutely correct.  Responding officers should make complete and total Swiss cheese out of Dorner.  He has been proven to be a narcissist with what I believe to be NPD (as I believe Mr Obama possesses, simply without the guns or the training) and he is the most craven of cowards.  He has been proven to be an opportunist, a coward, a genetically and mentally defective mutant.  He sought the unprepared and easy targets who had nothing to do with his original so-called “grievances.”

Let me again be blunt: so some people called him a nigger.  I don’t mind writing the word because it’s simply a word.  And from that Dorner responded with violence.  Even in law enforcement.  He thought he was aggrieved and treated unfairly.  Well boo-fucking-hoo.  Life is predominantly unfair, sir.  I was told by a senior female Captain, to my face, that I would not be promoted because I was male and Caucasoid.  I somehow managed not to go on a violent rampage.  Later, I was the senior supervisor in my prior assignment and the first to be sacrificed from my assignment, because I had and have a history of stating various truths that administrators don’t wish to read or hear.

[INSERT: THE CABIN IS NOW ENGULFED IN FLAMES — either Dorner will come out or he will succumb to the flames.]

I can only hope that Dorner burns and twists in the flames of his own creation.  Quite sad that there wasn’t someone from LAPD afforded the opportunity to place a nice .223 or .308 round into his wheelhouse.

One shot was initially heard.  Perhaps that of Dorner killing himself?  Fire personnel are being kept from the burning cabin, because there are rounds exploding from within, likely a store of ammunition.  Excellent.  Those rounds “cooking off” are still continuing.  I suspect tear gas grenades were introduced.  These devices have a high flow emissions rate, but are generally incendiary in nature.

If there is a basement to this cabin, things may not yet be over.  Or, yes, perhaps they are.  Only time may tell.

US to cut carrier fleet in Persian Gulf to 1

Military SequestrationThank you, Mr Obama, for this obvious political gift. Our sequestration.

From YahooNews.com:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is cutting its aircraft carrier presence in the Persian Gulf region from two carriers to one, the Defense Department said Wednesday, in a move that represents one of the most significant effects of budget cuts on the U.S. military presence overseas. The decision comes as Washington struggles to find a way to avoid sharp automatic spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and domestic programs next month.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has approved keeping just one carrier in the Persian Gulf region. The U.S. has maintained two aircraft carrier groups in the Gulf for most of the last two years.

Panetta has been leading a campaign to replace the automatic cuts he warns would “hollow out” the military, and the Pentagon has been providing greater details on the cuts it would have to make if Congress fails to both replace them and agree on a 2013 defense budget bill. The carrier decision is one of the most significant announcements made thus far.

Go here and here and here for more information.

But, naturally, as the rest of America and its military are cut to the bone via Mr Obama’s sequestration, let us take joy and pride in the fact that Joe Biden, our efficient and intellectual vice president, has received a pay hike.

President Barack Obama issued an executive order to end the pay freeze on federal employees, in effect giving some federal workers a raise. One federal worker now to receive a pay increase is Vice President Joe Biden.

 According to disclosure forms, Biden made a cool $225,521 last year. After the pay increase, he’ll now make $231,900 per year.

Also on the list for a pay bump are all of the Senators, House members, John Boehner, majority and minority leaders in both chambers and all the members of the Supreme Court.  They — frankly — got “theirs.”

But, in consideration, perhaps it’s time to realize that the Middle East isn’t any kind of “hot spot” and that, in truth, its delicacy is only offered up by those who wish to exploit global politics over the national good.

Because the Middle East is the last place the United States could expect immediate and serious trouble, is it not?

Frankly, I think it’s time to insert a few US carrier groups off the Canadian coasts.  Because any country who would quantify their coins as either a Loonie or a Toonie.  .  .
