At IDEX (international development exposition in the Middle
EAST), on Monday, the United Arab
Emirates announced a deal to buy an unspecified number of Predator drones from the
privately-owned U.S. firm General Atomics in a deal worth $196.57 million. Other Middle Eastern
countries are also clamoring for drone technology, saying they need drones for defense and stability. Sources say the drones will not be
armed.
COMMENTS:
I guarantee you that unarmed drones can be converted to
armed drones in short order. Having
drone technology has given us a decisive edge over potential enemies; why the
Obama Administration wants to sell that technology to our potential enemies I
cannot fathom. Maybe he has in mind striking
a deal with those countries that they
will shoot and kill U.S. citizens for him, in order to skirt around the Constitutional
protections of due process. Speaking of
skirts, unnamed sources are saying Susan Rice got one helluva raise after
dropping out of contention for the Secretary of State job.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What’s this about a tax revolt in Minnesota? (Ray ~ Oceanside, CA)
A. The state wants to start taxing professional services
that were previously not taxed, such as accounting fees, advertising, legal
fees and computer services. State
businesses are in an uproar, claiming such fees will reduce their competitive
edges and create undue accounting and management costs. There’s no mention of reduction of state
spending in the process. Tax, tax, tax;
that’s the liberal Democrat way. Just
wait until they start taxing taxes.
Q. In Colorado Monday, the House voted for four new guns
laws. The laws now go to the state
senate for approval. One of the laws
bans guns on college campuses and in stadiums.
Isn’t this just asking for another mass shooting on a college
campus? (Joel ~ Alturas, CA)
A. Yes. I’ll be
damned if I’ll let any of my kids or grandkids go to college in Colorado. If I were an ammo manufacturer, I’d quit
selling ammo to law enforcement agencies in Colorado. I always wondered why John Holmes was able to
shoot so many people in the movie theater without someone in the crowd
pulling a concealed weapon and shooting back.
The fact is, and they don’t want you to know it, is that the theater
where the shooting took place was one of the few movie theaters in Colorado
that won’t allow concealed weapons in their establishments, whether or not the
owner has a permit. Now, that being the
case, how did Holmes manage to get HIS
guns into that theater?
Q. I understand there was a computer glitch on the space
station and that communications went down?
Was that caused by the Chinese hackers?
(Valerie ~ Anchorage, AK)
A. Not that they’re admitting. They were updating computers and lost
communication for over three hours between the U.S. and the Space Station, but they
were able to communicate with Russia. Nevertheless,
it does appear that major hacking breaches are on a serious rise.
