Disturbing News & Happenings – National and International

National and international happenings once again have demanded some coverage and commentary, starting with the mounting evidence that Elana Kagan IS NOT the best candidate for replacing out-going Justice Stevens.  In the latest developments, we see that Kagan is not a 2nd Amendment fan when she told Justice Thurgood Marshall that she was not sympathetic to the claim that the District of Columbia’s gun ban was an infringement upon the 2nd Amendment.

As more evidence mounts that Kagan is not the best nonimation Obama could come up with, we also hear from the Los Angeles Times that Kagan’s entry to SCOTUS would not be a boon for the Court’s intellectual and educational diversity, as her membership would mean only Harvard and Yale graduates wear the SCOTUS robes.   The Los Angeles Times accurately surmises that this brings a potential level of bias to the Court that would be unprecedented and possibly damaging for future rulings.

I dont need to mention that Kagan is also a fellow Chicago-ite of Obama’s.  The connections and web of power being weaved by the Obama Administration is becoming more disturbing by the day.

In other news, we see that an Iranian-American has been targeted by Iran after issuing an arrest warrant for terrorism against Shahram Homayoun due to his pro-democracy programming aimed at his Iranian homeland.  INTERPOL has picked up the warrant and a subsequent report appeared at his banking institution, who then closed his bank accounts while our beloved US Government and the Obama Administration sit silently by doing nothing to stop this draconian proxy attack upon Mr. Homayoun.

Oh No Arizona!  We have all heard about Obama’s attacks upon Arizona’s recent immigration law which seeks to do what the federal government wont – enforce federal law.  Now, Eric Holder our esteemed poser-Attorney General admits he has not even read the law, while also critizing the law last month as subject to abuse and malfeasance.  I find it interesting that these left-wing nutbags like Holder, Obama & fellow Democrats and so-called immigrant rights groups (read: illegal immigrant protectors and supporters) are so eager to speak badly of laws they have not read and denigrate people they know nothing about.  Even more amazing is, Mexico’s president clearly has no clue about how America works as evidenced in his complaints to Obama about Arizona’s law.  Clue to Calderon:  Obama, as much as he may want to be a dictator, cannot act like a dictator and tell states what to do – deal with it, pal.

From the Astonishing Files, Americans have now been treated to withnessing Libya attain a seat on the UN’s Human Rights Council.  What makes this so stunning is, Libya has a well documented history of human rights abuses and ties to terrorism around the world.  What’s even more stupifying is, Obama says nothing about these continued abbrogations of the UN when he should be stopping this idiocy, even to the point of pulling US funding from the UN.  But, with this specific council’s record of ongoing resolutions against Israel, I am not surprised that Obama remains silent on the matter… he didnt have the “stones” to rebuke Iran’s bombastic president when he was here during another UN meeting a few weeks ago.

The Tax Man Cometh:  As I have predicted, Americans should now start bracing themselves for Obama to break his “no new taxes” pledge as evidenced by Peter Orszag, White House Budget Director, during a Manhattan Breakfast where he said that his boss’s no-new-taxes pledge is a “preference” and “stance” that is subject to modification by Obama’s newly formed Commission on Fiscal Responsibility.  On the plus side, this means that Democrats can be slammed for recanting on their no-new-taxes pledge as promised by Obama, just in time for the mid-term elections.

On the war front, I thought America was at war with terrorists such as al Qaida and the Taliban.  In a strange change of policy, Obama is now going to make nice with the Taliban in order to unite Afghanistan and try to end 9 years of violence.   Did I miss something here?   Has the Taliban made reparations for killing US troops, perpetrating violence or the damage caused by their international drug trade in opium?   I dont know what fantasy books Obama is reading, but for those of us in the real world there is no way a culture of violence can be reasoned with and subdued through weak-kneed diplomacy.  Stay tuned for increased violence and egg on Obama’s face as this latest peacenik overture fails to bring about the desired results.

In Left-Coast News, we see that Chief Executive magazine has called California the Venezuala of North America (full report) due to its dismal growth, attrocious business environment, high tax rates, behemoth sized government, out of control spending, high unemployment and an endless litany of stikes against this once prosperous state.  What happened?  The answer is simple – government expansion and regulation happened.   Government spending has crushed California and ended its reign as a superpower amongst economies the world over, surrendering this vaunted position to Texas where 70% of all US jobs have been created since 2008.

From the Absurdity Files, the fake outrage and attacks on Arizona continue unabated because it dared to move against illegal immigration and do what the federal government has refused to do – stop illegal immigration within its borders.  First in the list of absurd responses is an Illinois (the Highland Park High School) school that refuses to send its varsity womens basketball team to Arizona in retaliation for that state passing immigration enforcement laws.  They claim it’s due to safety fears, but any thinking individual can see what a farce that claim is.  UC Berkeley students added their self-indulgent “weight” to the Shame-Arizona-Effort with their hunger strike, while a group of Jewish contend that comparing Arizona to Nazi Germany is wrong. 

From our Too Important To Forget Files, we learn that the Soviet era archives remain largely untouched (some can be found HERE) by academics, historians and politicians the world over.  The reason this is so important is, American leftists who have taken over the Democrat Party are hell-bent upon pushing the United States towards the very ideals that are responsible for murdering more than150 million people and enslaving many more hundreds of millions in Europe, South America and billions in China and elsewhere.  American Democrat Leftists are actively pushing America to adopt the very same programs, ideals and government mechinations that are driving Europe into bankruptcy.  This is fact, ladies and gentlemen – this conclusion cannot be disputed any longer.  (Additional Info:  Portugal’s austerity tax, GOP bill to prevent Euro bailout, Jobs becoming a problem for Dems, Billboard petitions Obama for a job, Some jobs wont be coming back – Thanks Obama & Dems)
