1.  Desperate Greens Make Desperate Claims,by Steven Milloy, Human Events,  09/01/2010  

Those suffering from the deadly AGS disease (Al Gore Syndrome) are going crazy.  "Then there was the recent Environmental Defense Fund claim that global warming is going to wreck Mexican agriculture and increase illegal immigration by almost 7 million by 2070."

Paul Ehrlich claimed in 1960 that by 1975 famine will hit all nations--he lied. Rachel Carson claimed in "The Silent Spring" mankind was killing Planet Earth--she lied.

I would suggest that these radical reports should be given by Jerry Seinfeld--he needs good jokes.

2.  Hostage taker James Lee influenced by Al Gore film, Jim Kouri, Washington Examiner, 9/1/10 

Did Al Gore kill James Lee/  No, Lee was responsible for what he did.  Still, Gore must take some responsibility; he is bright and claims special knowledge.  Maybe if Gore allowed debate, admitted he lied about the science and is just as greedy as Bernie Madoff, Lee would not have believe this modern day P.T. Barnum

3.  Lawmakers frustrated by Internet "kill switch" reports, By Gautham Nagesh, The Hill, 09/01/10 

The President believes he has the power shut down the Internet.  Barack also has ownership of finance companies, auto makers and controls health care death panels.

Barack is the all powerful "Chosen One".  The Internet has been reporting on his radicalism, lack of values, vacations, terrible appointments--he needs to close down the Internet, to save himself.

4.  Obama Labor Board Could Overturn Secret Ballot Case, By Kevin Mooney, American Spectator, 9/1/10  

Barack Obama does not believe in honest elections. Remember, he supported the bullies with bats trying to stop voters in Philadelphia.  Now he is using his agencies to stop workers from being allowed a secret ballot, thus forcing them to pay bribes to unions in order to work.  These are the actions of a totalitarian; did you expect clean elections from Obama?  Remember he is from the Chicago school of politics.

5.  Gov. candidates in 20 states endorse anti-immigration laws, Politico, 9/1/10 

While President Obama is trying hard to bring in more criminals from Mexico, candidates for governor in 20 States demand illegal aliens be shipped home.  Folks are losing jobs and homes, while government promotes these criminals and continue to provide "free" schools, housing, and health care AND job protection.  This could lose 5-7 more congressional seats and a couple of State houses---thank you Barack.

Thanks to a judge, pedophilles and child molesters can now live anywhere in Los Angeles County, even next to parks and schools.

"Registered sex offenders on parole in L.A. County will no longer be subject to Jessicas Laws residency restrictions, per a ruling yesterday by L.A. County Superior Court Supervising Judge Peter Espinoza.

In his ruling (pdf), Espinoza points out that the courts received 300 petitions asking for relief from the law and dozens of parolees continue to file new petitions every week. The petitions argue that in L.A. County, theres virtually no affordable housing that complies with Jessicas Laws requirement that registered sex offenders regardless of offense reside at least 2,000 feet from parks and schools.

It is now abundantly clear to the court that the question of the constitutionality of Penal Code Section 3003.5(b) is a recurring problem important to other parolees and CDCR, Espinoza writes."

Judges have shut down our water supply, but somehow we will survive.

Now our children have been endangered by a judge.  This is sick.  This is a judge that needs a complete mental work up--obviously he is having some sort of mental break down--or maybe he truly believes that child molesters deserve protection and child do not.

He is one sick puppy.  What do you think should be done to the Judge?

Obamacare and its death panels seem to have advocates in San Joaquin County.

"Having a heart attack? Drowning in your pool? Can't breathe because of an asthma attack?

Better not be in Stockton.

That’s because the county has ordered the city to strip its fire engines of advanced life support equipment and has forbidden the departments 120 paramedics from giving a dying person anything more than basic fist aid, much like what a Boy Scout could offer.

Instead, city residents will have to wait for a private ambulance service that has a contract with the county to show up."

It gets even worse. "He says potentially more devastating to the public are the split calls where Stockton Fire Department personnel may need to break down a door to reach a victim who is unconscious or use the Jaws of Life to remove a victim pinned in a damaged and dangerous vehicle. Ambulance personnel do not have the training or equipment to reach trapped victims and under Mr. Burchs decision fire department paramedics will be expected to stop short of performing those life saving measures."

If you are in Stockton you better stay healthy, the County prefers to control its territory, even if that policy kills YOU.

The Democrat killer B's--Boxer, Brown and Barack are not people, family or job friendly.

Tom Del Beccaro, the Vice Chair of the California Republican Party and the publisher of Political Vanguard, has written an article that explains their policies and their failures.

as an example of bad policies and lack of leadership, "One overlooked reason for the national trouble ahead is what government has done to the California economy. The California economy has been crippled because its #1 industry, agriculture, has been crippled by environmental policies that have placed the fate of an imported bait fish over the needs of farmers, employees and families.  By shutting off the water supply to farmers, government is strangling Central Valley farming which is why locals state that Water = Jobs.   But the effect hardly stops there.  California is over 16% of the national economy.  So the real equation is Water = Farming = Jobs = the California Economy ? National Economy.  Put another way, you cannot cripple the California economy and expect the National economy to recover.  All combined, Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer, the Democrat controlled Congress and Barack Obama will only makes things worse."

Pass this article on to your friends--we need to defeat the Killer Bees.

The people of California can stop some of the insanity of government in Sacramento.

"A bill that would have effectively ended use of throw-away plastic bags in California grocery stores has gone down to defeat in the state Legislature amid a massive lobbying campaign against it by the chemical industry.

The California Grocers Association is denouncing the failure of the state Senate to pass Assembly Bill 1998, which it terms a historic compromise between business and the environmental community that would have prohibited the distribution of single-use plastic bags at checkout."

The Leftist special interests (The Al Gore Syndrome disease sufferers) are complaining that those who produce the plastic bags fought back.  These same Leftists have no problem with unions and ACORN using money and physical bully tactics to win a vote.

Our rights as consumers have been protected--no one forces you to use or take a plastic bag--that is a choice.  Democrats do not like free people having a choice.  In fact, they do not like free people.  This was a minor victory against the totalitarian impulses of the Democrats.

The economists tell us that technically we are out of a recession.

Unemployment has not gone down, foreclosures are up, deficits and government debt is up.,

The fact we are out of a recession is a nice theory for a textbook.  For the real world, that is a sick joke.
.
We are still in a recession and to a large number of Americans  we are in a permanent Depression.

"Among the adjustments, respondents cited debt reduction (41 percent), increasing cash reserves (39 percent), hiring freezes (34 percent) and delaying plans for expansion (34 percent)."

That is why we are in a Depression in California--business people are acting rationally, while government continues to act like a dictator that is blind to the fiscal crisis it has created.

Someone near Arnold needs to tell him that stealing from one government program to pay for another assures that bankruptcy and insolvency is closer for the State.

They need to tell him theft does not cover the incompetence of designing six years of budgets that had a total of $140 billion in deficits.

"According to a recent Sacramento Bee article, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has privately proposed borrowing $2 billion from the state's biggest pension fund (the California Public Employees' Retirement System, or CalPERS) to help plug the state's massive budget deficit. You read that right: the governor wants to fill a $19 billion budget gap by borrowing from a pension system that has an estimated unfunded liability of about $500 billion (see a couple of academic studies pegging the pension deficit around the half-trillion-dollar mark here and here, pp. 197-199). What could go wrong?

"Gov. Schwarzenegger, who has rightly called the state's pension system "unsustainable," now wants to siphon more money from this unsustainable system."

Arnold is out of control.  No matter what he does in the next 120 or so days, he will still, by far, be the worst governor in the history of the State.  $800 billion in debt, six years of deficits totaling $140 billion, one third of our water held up by a judge, killing hundreds of farms.  His AB 32 and SB 375 assure the highest unemployment rates in the nation for a generation.

Based the results of his previous budgets, is a good thing he will never sign another budget--the next budget is the responsibility of the new governor.  It is a good thing he is going to Asia for six days starting next week.  Maybe he should take a week in Africa, a week in South American, a few days in the Middle East and than a week in Europe.  The less time in California, the better.  We can not afford another 120 days of Gov.Arnold.

How corrupt is the California Air Resources Board?  It has forced UCLA to fire an honest scientist.

This article was written by my good friend Andy Caldwell, a warrior for honesty in government.  He hosts a radio talk show on the Central Coast and I have been a guest many times on the show.

"CARB has been arguing that the particulate emissions from diesel engine exhaust causes premature deaths in the State of California. However, Dr. James Enstrom of UCLA, has proven there is no such health impact and his research has been peer reviewed and replicated by other scholars.  Dr. Enstrom has a PhD in Physics from Stanford, and he has been a research scientist in the University of Ca. for nearly 40 years!

Additionally, Dr. Enstrom discovered that the lead researcher working for CARB on this project, Hien T. Tran, faked his Ph.D, having purchased it on-line!  Further, the Chair of CARB, Mary Nichols help conceal this fraud from her fellow board members! 

Yet, after all this, the person being fired is Dr. Enstrom! Despite the fact that he has been with UCLA for some 34 years, he has been slated for termination simply because his colleagues don't like the effects of his research."

Dr. Enstrom showed that the CARB was wrong to create regulations based on lies.

Dr. Enstrom found the man who created these phony studies was a fraud, a liar.

The liar stays and the honest man leaves--how corrupt is that?  California is now under the rule of corrupt politicians and our Governor says nothing--maybe because he likes the fraudulent rules and the killing of our economy--what other explanation could there be?

Big deal the California Air Resources Board admits it made a mistake in it calculations about pollution--fifth graders knew that.

"The California Air Resources Board acknowledged something Tuesday that critics have been saying for months: the state vastly over-estimated the amount of diesel pollution emitted by big off-road construction vehicles.

The error, contained in an ARB computer model and compounded by a recession that idled far more trucks than expected, means that the construction industry would come close to meeting state-mandated targets for reducing pollution through 2025 even if regulations designed to force firms to retire or retrofit their dirtiest trucks are repealed.

The rule affects more than 100,000 construction vehicles, including tractors, scrapers, graders, bulldozers and other trucks used on road and building projects around the state."

Maybe they should go back and look at the other regulations?  This is an ideological agency, not scientific.  Sadly, the legislation behind these regulations is also political not scientific--but then what would you expect from Arnold and his band of Democrats?  We have 120 days and counting.
