United States Judge Joseph Charles, of the New Jersey State Superior Court — where he was appointed in 2003 — recently made a ruling in favor of Islamic Shariah Law.

I don’t always agree with Alex Jones, but he is mostly correct in this video:

Now imagine a major movie released today where whites advocate the death of blacks or Mexicans or Asians (and then do so), and which advocates the paid assassination of, say, a black or Mexican senator.

The film promotes racial warfare plain and simple.

You need to be aware, America, of that which is going on around you.

And what is coming. This movie will help to create a racial divide. Be prepared.

An excellent article in the Wall Street Journal by Michael P. Fleischer entitled “Why I’m Not Hiring” has the more salient subtitle of:

When you add it all up, it costs $74,000 to put $44,000 in Sally’s pocket and to give her $12,000 in benefits.

Employing Sally costs plenty too. My company has to write checks for $74,000 so Sally can receive her nominal $59,000 in base pay. Health insurance is a big, added cost: While Sally pays nearly $2,400 for coverage, my company pays the rest—$9,561 for employee/spouse medical and dental. We also provide company-paid life and other insurance premiums amounting to $153. Altogether, company-paid benefits add $9,714 to the cost of employing Sally.

Then the federal and state governments want a little something extra. They take $56 for federal unemployment coverage, $149 for disability insurance, $300 for workers’ comp and $505 for state unemployment insurance. Finally, the feds make me pay $856 for Sally’s Medicare and $3,661 for her Social Security.

When you add it all up, it costs $74,000 to put $44,000 in Sally’s pocket and to give her $12,000 in benefits. Bottom line: Governments impose a 33% surtax on Sally’s job each year.

Because my company has been conscripted by the government and forced to serve as a tax collector, we have lost control of a big chunk of our cost structure. Tax increases, whether cloaked as changes in unemployment or disability insurance, Medicare increases or in any other form can dramatically alter our financial situation. With government spending and deficits growing as fast as they have been, you know that more tax increases are coming—for my company, and even for Sally too.

Companies have also been pressed into serving as providers of health insurance. In a saner world, health insurance would be something that individuals buy for themselves and their families, just as they do with auto insurance. Now, adding to the insanity, there is ObamaCare.

To offset tax increases and steepening rises in health-insurance premiums, my company needs sustainably higher profits and sales—something unlikely in this “summer of recovery.” We can’t pass the additional costs onto our customers, because the market is too tight and we’d lose sales. Only governments can raise prices repeatedly and pretend there will be no consequences.

So. You wonder why companies aren’t hiring?

Because they are the government’s bitch and the focus, from DC, of all that is bad in America.

Note to government: businesses are not in business to lose money.

This is something that you, DC, don’t have the first ability to grasp.

America desperately needs electrical generation stations.

More new stations and updates for the older ones.

CNN Tech writes:

Throughout New York City, about 52,000 of ConEd’s 3.2 million customers lost power during the heat wave. Triple-digit temperatures forced residents like 77 year-old Rui Zhi Chen, to seek shelter at one of the city’s 400 emergency cooling centers. “It felt like an oven in my home and on the street,” Chen said.

Should Americans view these kinds of scenarios as extraordinary circumstances — or a warning sign of a darker future?

Experts on the nation’s electricity system point to a frighteningly steep increase in non-disaster-related outages affecting at least 50,000 consumers.

During the past two decades, such blackouts have increased 124 percent — up from 41 blackouts between 1991 and 1995, to 92 between 2001 and 2005, according to research at the University of Minnesota.

In the most recently analyzed data available, utilities reported 36 such outages in 2006 alone.

“It’s hard to imagine how anyone could believe that — in the United States — we should learn to cope with blackouts,” said University of Minnesota Professor Massoud Amin, a leading expert on the U.S. electricity grid.

More than 30 years later (after the 1977 New York City blackout), the United States is still “operating the most advanced economy in the world with 1960s and 70s technology,” said Amin. Failing to modernize the grid, he said, will threaten the U.S. position as an economic super power.

And yet, not only do the Religious Left want no more electrical generation stations to be built, they also want you to turn off your air conditioner despite the fact that, during heat waves, the elderly and the young perish.

Air conditioning uses too much energy.

Yet we can’t have coal because it’s too foul; we can’t have nuclear because it’s too dangerous; we can’t have wind power because it kills birds; we can’t have solar because it chews up acreage and requires too much water to clean.

If that isn’t sufficiently arcane and ridiculous, the Religious Left and the Demorats demand that you shoehorn into electric cars which — wait for it, wait for it — run on electricity. Imagine that!

The Religious Left are absolutely insane, and they don’t care who they kill, inconvenience, bully or lie to in order to enable their unrealistic and unsustainable agenda.
