Hey, Mr. Obama, They're Running the Wrong Way

They fought a bloody three-day war, and when it was over the Al Qaeda – affiliated jihadists raised their flag over government buildings of Fallujah, Iraq. If you recall, Fallujah had been secured by the US who withdrew from the country two years later.

Eight people were killed, dozens injured while the Iraqi army tried to regain control of the city. Tribesmen from Ramadi, a Sunni stronghold, joined forces with the Army. The death toll from the fighting, which began earlier in the week, is still unknown.

To Kind Of Uphold the Constitution of the United States

Sergio Garcia, an illegal immigrant, or undocumented American, or Mexican, has finally got his wish. Serge is now an illegal immigrant lawyer, having fulfilled the illegal immigrant dream of crossing the border successfully, accepting work at menial jobs that actual Americans refuse to take, (unless we increase the minimum wage to at least $15 an hour) and going to school paying in-state,resident-level tuition. 

Serge, who is now 36, illegally came to the US about 20 years ago, attended law school and passed California's bar exam. He challenged a 1996 law that denied illegal immigrants professional licenses. Not to worry, however, since Jerry I-Never-Met-An-Anarchist-I-Didn't-Like Brown, later changed the rule to allow illegals the same privileges as those of us who are Americans, pay taxes, vote, and defend the nation against all enemies foreign and domestic, not including Jerry Brown.

Garcia was born in Mexico in 1977 and was illegally brought to this country about two years later by his family. When Serge was nine, he returned to Mexico but discovered that, compared to the USA, Mexico sucked chili dogs. So he returned here again at age 17.

Serge's father had obtained legal resident status and filed for a visa for his son, but the wait was long and Serge felt that he didn't want to wait like the other suckers who followed the law, so he didn't return to Mexico and worked in the states picking almonds and working in a grocery to pay tuition at Cal Northern School of Law.

In spite of not being an American citizen, he was able to challenge American law; the 1996 federal law barring those living in the US from illegally receiving professional licenses from government agencies with the use of public funds.The federal government argued the California courts were funded by public money, and this precluding him from being granted a licence.But in stepped Jerry Brown back in October, and he signed legislation that allowed illegal aliens the right to obtain law licenses. Viva America.

Yesterday, California State Supreme Court ruled in favor of Serge, determining he "possesses the requisite good moral character to qualify for a law license." In other words, breaking the laws of the USA does not disqualify you from being considered moral, if those laws are not liberal enough. And swearing to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, doesn't count when California says it doesn't count.

I wish Mr. Garcia all the best for 2014--he certainly got a gift from US that keeps on giving. Perhaps he will specialize in immigration law. I'm sure he'll give his clients interesting advice.

I guess being an undocumented immigrant is the same as being an unlicensed physician.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.

Yo Dude, Don't Bogart the Bong

Well, today is the first official workday of the new year and the first day that marijuana can be purchased legally in Colorado, dude. Many conservatives think that it's a terrible thing to legalize pot, but did you know that there was a time in our history when drugs like heroin, opium and pot were legal and alcohol wasn't? Yes, that was Prohibition.

Uh Oh Obamacare

Today is the first official workday of the new year. Hope you had a great celebration ushering the year in, now let's get to work.

Obamacare has also officially begun yesterday and it seems that Obama has to finish making changes to it so we can know what's in it. About 6 million people lost their coverage, and 2 million people have signed on and put themselves in a position to be covered, but it isn't yet clear whether or not they are actually covered. Now Obama wants to refer to his signature bill as the Affordable Care Act (see oxymoron) and stop calling it Obamacare, I think he knows just how affordable and effective this law is. 

Peter Morici of the University of Maryland believes Obamacare will hurt the economy. The taxes on health items and the costs of policies will hurt us. Premiums that were supposed to save us $2500 per year on average, is a Choom pipe-dream; cost has gone up. According to Morici, Obamacare has created "little monopolies in this country, and this is going to hurt small business." The deductibles will slaughter us and if the cost of healthcare, he says, is greater than 10 percent, then our lifestyles just to pay for it will be altered to the point that people will not be able to afford to go on vacations, pay for their child's college, and where the deductible is so high, for many it will be the same as not having insurance at all.

But we shall see what Obamacare will bring us. Oh, and calling it Obamacare is not racist. It's simply giving credit where credit is due.

Party Hearty

It's New Year's Eve, roughly 3:00 pm ET, and it's colder than a pair of testicles in liquid oxygen. I don't know what the new year will bring, but I do know that whatever it is, Barack Obama is still our president so don't sing and dance just yet. At least he will not be running again, if he follows the Constitution.

Seriously though, I hope 2014 turns out to be a great year for you and our country. The one way to stack the deck on that happening is to make sure you vote in the mid-terms and put as many conservatives in office as possible.

If you're going out to party tonight, please take care and don't get into an accident--I don't want to have to do the paperwork. But again, seriously, please don't drink and drive--it isn't worth the cost no matter how you look at it.

If you will be celebrating tonight with a loved one, that's wonderful. Hold them close and kiss them when the New Year rings in, unless, of course, they have herpes or trench-mouth. 

If you plan to celebrate with your family, and they happen to be liberals, I am so sorry to hear that, but be nice--they're still your family. Of course, families tend tend to think alike politically, and except for my mindless "I love Hillary" sister in Boston, I don't know of any families with strong opposing views. I know they're out there, but I don't even want to know about them--I have enough with Susie, my sister.

Happy and healthy New Year!

Woooooooooooo!

The Meanstream Media: the real racists

Freedom of the press; it's guaranteed in our Constitution. There's a very clear and highly important reason this is in our legal system; it was supposed to be the watchdog of all branches of government, in particular, the executive branch. But today, the press has changed its role by becoming not the watchdog, but a guard dog for the left. And it isn't only what they report, it also has to do with what they don't. It also has to do with the difference in how they deal with both sides of the aisle.

If you only watched MSNBC during the Benghazi attack and its aftermath, you might believe the entire situation was caused by a video that was seen by no less than 300 people worldwide. Next, you would have been convinced that the man who made the video had no right to do so--there is no such thing as negative opinion, or freedom of expression when it goes against Islam. Make fun of Muhammed, a guy who "married" a six year old, and you will be killed.

And the Award Goes to Hillary

I think anyone would be hard-pressed to come up with another woman who has won as many awards as Hillary Clinton has ever since coming of age. It all began in 1983 when she won Arkansas' Woman of the Year, an award handed out by the Arkansas Democrat, a left-leaning paper. The very same year Hillary won "Headliner of the Year," gifted to her by the Arkansas Press Association. The following year, she was named Arkansas (Young) Mother of the Year and honorary doctorates followed that for years to come. In both 1988 and 1991, Hillary was named by National Law Journal as one of the top 100 influential lawyers in America, and they never mentioned how, when serving on the House Judiciary Committee under Jerry Zeifman way back in 1974, that she was fired from her job and given a few choice labels. Perhaps they never mentioned it because it came before all those awards.

Looking Back at Nothing

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Day yesterday and you all feel at peace in your life. As the year comes to an end next week, I look back at all that has taken place and realize that what's more relevant to what has taken place is that which has not taken place. Let me explain.
