China has sent its most powerful fishing patrol vessel to
protect ten Chinese boats that were fishing in a disputed area near the Philippines
and to escort them safely home and prevent arrests. This
display of force, along with China’s rejection of Philippine calls for
international arbitration, underscores China’s willingness to flex its military
might in the region in order to lay claim to huge energy reserves.
COMMENTS:
Why should we care?
The Philippines may be a U.S. possession, but they’re expendable. If you remember correctly, a couple of years
ago they were besieged by earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and pestilence and
Obama refused to even acknowledge their plight.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. In recent days, I’ve been bombarded with negative news
about the economy, including yours. What
do you suggest I do with my money?
(Gregory ~ Sparks, NV)
A. Send it to me.
Okay, you’re not going for that.. Put it into something tangible. I
think raw real estate is okay, as are precious metals in the long run and some commodities
in the short run. Food products will
rise in value over the next six to twelve months. Stay out of the stock
market.
Q. I see that Obama is going to put into effect a program
where you can work and still collect unemployment benefits. Under the plan, workers who have lost jobs
can be placed in other temporary jobs as trainees for short periods to retain
their skills or gain new ones while receiving jobless assistance. What’s your
opinion? (Helen ~ Reno, NV)
A. I’m in favor of getting people
back to work, but this is outrageous. It’s
Obama’s fault that people are out of work in the first place. Instead of total spending programs like this
one, why isn’t he allowing businesses to create jobs that will put people back
to work and get them off of the government dole? The guy is a total Marxist; that’s where this
idea came from.
Q. The GSA debacle was a double whammy. Not only was this misspending done with
government funds, but those dollars were stimulus dollars intended to create
jobs. The whole Obama Administration is rife with corruption. How do we stop this bull? (Gaylord ~ Salt Lake City, UT)
A. Vote Obama out in November. Vote every incumbent with more than two years
on the job out in November. Regardless of political affiliation, show no
mercy.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“There's Hezbollah, there's Hamas, there is
a whole range of terrorist targets out there related to Palestine and to Israel
that we ought to be trying to deal with. And there's a great deal of targets in
the Philippines, Indonesia. You name it, there are a number of places where
there are targets that we ought to be trying to deal with.” ~ Lawrence Eagleburger
