The financial and economic forecast continues to go south on us. While on my vacation, the stock market has tumbled and economic news has been dismal. While some "experts" are suggesting we are going to have a double-dip recession, others think there has been insufficient positive economic news to be able to say we got out of the "Great Recession" at all.
Obama, in all of his socialistic glory, wants another $500 trillion stimulus. He has no idea how ticked off people really are about that. Here he is pissing away money that we do not have while millions of people are losing everything they ever had. I'm talking about virtually everybody... including those who voted for him in 2008. They'd all pretty much like to lynch him. The line that Newt Gingrich put out in last night's debates, that the real way to stimulate our economy is to get Obama out of office is ringing true.
I'll be back on the 26th. Try and hold the nation together until I get there, okay? Load up on the firewood because it's going to be a long, cold winter in more ways than one.

FROM THE SOUTHWEST
I’m on vacation until the 26th. I’m just checking in from a small town south
of Santa Fe. The weather here has been
generally cool with afternoon thunder-boomies.
I’m visiting my brother and his wife along with one of my sons, a
nephew, a nice and her husband; I traveled from Burney to Reno, to Cedar City,
Utah, to here.
Along the way, I had the opportunity to visit with some
great and wonderful people, being doctors, lawyers, plumbers, ditch diggers,
glass makers, jewelers and stevedores.
The stevedores were in Kayenta, Arizona, waiting for their ship to come
in. I think they said they’ve been there
for 33 years so far.
What I have found in my conversations is that everyone in
Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico is fed up.
They’re fed up with the lavish and cavalier spending in Washington, the
lack of accountability to the people, government regulations, unemployment, the
economy in general, Obama’s total disregard for the public will and the high
price of toilet paper. That last one is a
very bad sign for Obama. Did you know
that the White House uses more toilet tissue per person than any other building
in the United States?
No, seriously; Obama is in deep shit. His lying, his manipulating, his socialism,
his condescension and the lengthy string of bad
decisions he has made for the country are finally piling up deep enough
in the toilets of mistrust of Americans that they want change, all right…
change back to the Ronald Reagan era.
What’s more, they’re ready to do something about it. I've never seen such general public angst in my life.
I'll try and check in a couple of more times before I get back
to my mountain.

COULD SOLYNDRA BE OBAMA’S WATERLOO?
What is known is that the White House at least pressured
Federal authorities into guaranteeing over $500 million in loans to the solar
panel manufacturing company in California that was on the verge of
bankruptcy. Executives of that company
contributed heavily to Obama’s 2008 Presidential campaign and the company filed
for bankruptcy in 2011; what happened with the $500 million is not known or
understood at this point.
COMMENTS:
Those in the know say that the chain of knowledge reaches at
least Vice-President Joe Biden; insiders say that Obama’s closet advisers
certainly had to know. White House
employees are disavowing responsibility or knowledge and point the fickle
finger of blame at each other. Obama is on the road trying to sell his latest
folly and shows no interest in this scandal, dubbed by one Congressional
lawmaker as being “outright theft.” But then again, his is the true, certified
Imperial Presidency; he can do what he wants and he does not have to be
accountable to us for it.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I saw on YAHOO yesterday that ancient circles visible
only from the air have been discovered in the Azraq Oasis. Is the more “ancient astronaut” stuff? (Bill ~ Phoenix, AZ)
A. There are now thousands of them that have recently been
discovered. To me, they bear some resemblance to crop circles. They are made of stone and were constructed
at least 2,000 years ago, sometime around the birth of Christ. Like other
drawings and “airstrips” in Peru and the Andes, they cannot be seen from the ground.
Does that answer your question? I mean, why build it if you can’t see
it?
Q. Governor Perry
mentioned getting back to “Christian values” the other night and that is
creating quite an uproar. What’s wrong
with getting back to Christian values?
(Lynda ~ Reno, NV)
A. Left-wing liberals are not Christians.
Q. I see, as you predicted, that Netflix is in deep trouble
due to losing subscribers after raising their rates by 60%. Do you feel vindicated? (Dr. Spock ~
Hollywood, CA)
A. Okay, “doctor,” I get the jab. Just last month, they tried trickery in an
attempt to get users back, as I pointed out at the time. Their management obviously feels it can
mistreat its customer base and if the customers don’t like it, tough. Low life companies like this need to be out
of business, bankrupt, ca put. So no, I
don’t feel vindicated yet. When I see a public apology on billboards and TV
ads, when I see six months free service if you re-enlist and going back to the
old rate structure, I might feel differently.
But, don’t hold your breath; idiots like these never get the message until it’s just too damned late.

OBAMA’S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER DOES NOT CHECK OUT?
MINUTEMAN PAC is reporting that the entry of President
Obama’s Connecticut-issued Social Security Number into E-Verify produces the
response that it is a fraudulent number.
E-Verify is the electronic system created by U.S. Citizenship and
Immigrations Services of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to verify if
prospective employees have the required authorization to work legally in the
United States.
COMMENTS:
If the President is a legitimate U.S. citizen, why does he
continue to refuse to prove it? Why does
he blow whatever reputation he had by producing two birth certificates that are
as phony as the day is long? Why won’t
the State of Hawaii issue a certified statement to the effect that Obama was
actually born in Honolulu? Why has the
media consistently refused to get the answer for us? Was he really
born in Area 51? Is that the problem here?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Obama wants to change jobless benefits by adding funds to
include payments for training for new jobs.
What do you think? (Sondra ~ Salt
Lake City, UT)
A. Finally, after 2-1/2 years in office, he comes up with
something intelligent. It may cost more
in the short run, but could actually save money by getting people back into new
jobs earlier. I’m all for it.
Q. Of all of the Republican Presidential candidates, who do
you think had the best chance of bridging the gaps between the Democrats and
Republicans and getting things done for the country? (Benjamin ~ Las Vegas, NV)
A. Newt Gingrich.
Q. Do you make anything out of the two Republican wins on
Tuesday? (Luke ~ Oklahoma City, OK)
A. The Nevada race, no; Mark Amodei is well-known and
respected in Nevada and should have won.
As for the New York race, it was a referendum on Obama because the
Democratic candidate played the Obama line on the economy and the Republican
winner went after him like a fly on horse manure.

RON PAUL: TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN LIFE
Responding to a question from Wolfe Blitzer
Monday night where a young man chooses not to buy insurance and ends up in a coma, Ron Paul
essentially said that’s what freedom of choice is all about and you live by
your choices. The government has no responsibility
for your choices. He received rousing
applause.
COMMENTS:
Why should I be forced to pay for your stupidity? If I choose to give to charity or church and
they help a guy like this, that’s one thing.
For the government to take the stand that I have to… by law am obligated
to… kick in some of my money to help this guy out is flat-out stealing from me
what I have worked so hard for to get. If you take care of yourself, I will take care of myself and we'll all get along fine... like we have for over 200 years.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What do you think about those anti-American
demonstrations on 9/11 against the U.S. by radical Muslims living in the
U.S.? (George ~ Albany, CA)
A. They should be charged with giving aid and comfort to the
enemy and removed from the country.
Q. What do you think would be an acceptable modification to
Social Security? (Myhren ~ Ontario, CA)
A. Double the payouts.
I’m a recipient; what did you expect me to say? It will have to be modified, not for those on
or approaching payout, but for the rest.
The big lie here which no one talks about is that the government raided
the Social Security funds on a regular basis.
That figure should be paid back into the fund. As it did in the Cobell case where it glommed
onto hundreds of millions of dollars belonging to Indians and then mysteriously
lost the accounting for those funds, I’m sure the government can’t tell us how
much that is. After it is paid back,
then we can calculate the real shortfall
and adjust on that basis.
Q. I read that they are thinking of changing the COLA by
using the CPI instead. What do you
think? (Barry ~ Redding, CA)
A. Why don’t they just take the TYRL and divide it by the
DERT to come up with a GYTD they can apply to the CRYOUTLOUD? Enough with the acronyms, okay? The cost of
living adjustment is just what it says it is.
The consumer price index is only remotely associated with it and is
usually less than the COLA. All this
talk is about is reducing the amount paid to military and social security
retirees. So, you are going to starve
them all to death, but you’re going to be nice about it and do it slowly. Isn’t
that just swell?

OBAMA’S FULL COURT PRESS: Here We Go Again
Obama is pulling out all of the stops, demanding that his
new spending bill be passed and passed now; all of it. He wants Congress to act immediately.
COMMENTS:
He wants no discussion and absolutely does not want the Tea
Party or anyone else to evaluate it.
Just like TARP, this is an emergency.
Just like his stimulus bill, this is an emergency. Just like ObamaCare, this is an
emergency. He has not done a damned
thing about jobs for months, but today he is and he wants it done and over with
immediately; it’s suddenly an emergency.
To me, it’s another bum’s rush.
Everything that has been passed under this type of stress going back
three years has been an absolute failure.
Yet, he wants… demands that we do it again. Hurry up.
If Congress buys into this latest
Chinese fire drill, there is going to be hell to pay.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you know any of the provisions of Obama’s new
bill? How is he going to raise the $470
billion? (Don ~ Susanville, CA)
A. Tax write-offs, such as medical, mortgage interest,
charity… gone. But, remember what he
says; this is not a tax hike. Once again,
he proves he’s a liar.
Q. Bank of America is laying off 30,000 people? (Eugene ~ Redding, CA)
A. Yes, and this is only the beginning. So much for Obama’s program to incentivize hiring
with a $4,000 tax credit. Things could
now get real crappy in this country.
Q. Obama says he is not increasing the national debt, but
his spending $470 billion now and then paying for it over ten years. Doesn’t that increase the national debt, at
least for 10 years? (Perry ~ Salt Lake
City, UT)
A. Now you are starting to sound like a terrorist, radical
Tea Party member, but what you say happens to be right on. Once again, he’s a liar.
