Meaningles​s "chatter'........................from Rico

FTV, the financial media, and other economic ignorati like rugma are again "chattering" about the FED pulling back from it's $85 billion per month bond buying [read: debt monetization].

It's a lot like an investor 'talking his book' (eg. Soros saying Gold is in a 'bubble' publicly, while quietly and privately buying Gold), only in this case it's 'solving' a debt problem by creating more debt.

They may call it by a different name to make it 'sound' like something other than what it really is (you know the routine by now: call it the 'Patriot Act' instead of treason, or the 'Affordable Care Act' instead of you-will-pay-dearly for this, and other legislative frauds ad nauseum), but there is absolutely NO FREAKING WAY they can walk away from the monster they have created without completely crashing this increasingly fragile house of cards.

In simple terms, they are all lying.

Miss Utah Flubs Gender Equity at Miss USA Contest

She's not too bright.

See, "Everybody's Laughing at Miss Utah Marissa Powell."

Actually, I preferred Miss Connecticut Erin Brady, who went on to win the evening.

Ms. Brady's breasts definitely helped put her over the top. Amazingly bouncy.

Big Government is Stupid Government

Obama Cabinet Meeting

By Alan Caruba

Nothing enhances a president’s reputation than to be seen in the company of other world leaders and Obama will have an abundance of photo-ops as he meets in Ireland with the G8 to address the many woes of the world. Too bad they think he is a dunce.

Given the unrelenting headlines about the Obama administration, it is worth worrying that Big Government is Stupid Government. It is inherently a danger to freedom. Just ask anyone who ever lived under communism.

While there are many fine people in government, those at the top of the current roster seem to be a collection of the most incompetent, inept, naïve, ignorant, and uninformed morons to have ever gathered around that big table where the cabinet meets. If, in fact, they really do get together except for the occasional photo-op.

The last Secretary of State and President-in-Waiting, Hillary Clinton, flew a million miles in the job, but no one can point to anything she actually accomplished and she, apparently, had no idea what was going on at State. The present Secretary, John Kerry, is convinced that global warming is the greatest threat to, well, everything and is still trying to get the Palestinians to agree to peace terms with Israel; something they have refused to do since it opened doors for business in 1948.

Eric Holder, the Attorney General, cannot seem to remember anything. Usually you expect a lawyer to keep a few facts in mind such as the contents of the U.S. Constitution, but Holder is an exception or, like Obama, he read it and didn’t like it.

Other than Valerie Jarrett, only the White House reporters seem to know the names of his closest advisors. Tim Carney, the spokesman for Obama, has carved out a place in history as the biggest, lying weasel to ever hold that job. Oh how I miss the beautiful and intelligent Dana Parino, Bush43’s spokesperson. Happily I get to see her on “The Five”, a Fox News daily gab fest.

After Rahm Emanuel left the job as Obama’s chief of staff to become the Mayor of Chicago, the city has turned into a killing ground the equal of downtown Baghdad.

Obama is utterly devoted to Big Government and, thanks to Obamacare, the IRS is trying to hire the equivalent of an armed forces division to administer it. The popularity of Obamacare, plus the scandals, currently is plunging to depths that even the pollsters are beginning to measure in single digits. The President’s numbers are reaching new lows as well.

A notable aspect of Big Government is the increasing size of various pieces of legislation such as the so-called immigration reform and the Common Core education bills. Beginning life as No Child Left Behind under Bush43, this latter bill is not likely to be reauthorized. Any piece of legislation that exceeds a thousand or more pages in a one-size-fits-all is doomed to failure.

At this writing, the House is getting ready to vote for a trillion-dollar food stamp and farm bill about which few Americans are even aware. It’s a huge giveaway for a nation that is essentially broke. As Congress gets close to its summer break, all manner of comparable mischief will occur. Recall that Obamacare was passed on Christmas Eve 2009!

For the same reason, the ever-expanding surveillance of everyone’s electronic communications comes with the built-in limitation that the more signals intelligence it gathers, the less likely it will produce any results, except after the next attack. The NSA employs tens of thousands of analysts to deal with all the “signent” is acquires and, other than that which focuses on places like Yemen, the rest is not likely to yield much of value.

A government big enough to access every phone call and email from 310 million Americans is also failed to take serious action when the Russians

warned that two jihadists were living in Boston.

The other aspect of Big Government is the way the Obama administration has enlarged the numbers of Americans receiving food stamps, disability payments, and other “free” stuff that is not free, but dependent on those who still have a job. Social Security and Medicare are barely solvent and Medicaid is bankrupting the states that must contribute to it.

According to the American Enterprise Institute, “The number of federal employees has risen under President Obama. There were 2,790,000 federal workers in January 2009 when the president took office, and now there are 2,804,000 workers. The fact is that there is no month during President Obama’s term when the federal workforce was smaller than it was in the first month of Mr. Obama’s presidency. The president took over in January 2009. Every month after January 2009 has seen more federal workers than were employed in January 2009.

It would be wrong to suggest that federal workers are not productive, but the sheer size of this workforce suggests that Big Government takes a lot of people out of the private sector and provides them with employment that comes with a multitude of perks that adds to the federal debt for which everyone must be taxed.

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have,” is attributed to Thomas Jefferson, as is “Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” This was true in the 1700s and is true today.

With considerable foresight, the Founders wanted a central government that was intended to remain limited in size, scope, and power. The Department of Homeland Security—the hasty reaction to 9/11—has metastasized into an Orwellian giant that should, at the earliest moment possible, be disassembled into its component parts.

The nation would no doubt benefit from putting an end to the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Education, the government mortgage companies of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and comparable entities that are mostly the result of government’s vast expansion in the latter half of the last century and this new one.

Term limits is another idea worth considering. I sometimes think that the longer a Senator or Representative stays in Congress, the more senile, incompetent, and indifferent they become to the voters.

Workplace violence by a hairdresser, aka act of terror, thwarted in Spain!...from TPC

The recent arrest of a radical hairdresser in Spain, a likely future terrorist bomber, might never have occurred in the US due to political correctness and blindness gone wild. 

The Fort Hood shooter was much more of an obvious potential jihadist and he was allowed to go on until he went on a shooting spree that was, incredibly, later termed workplace violence. 

There's something very wrong with that!

Iran to Send Contingent of 4,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Syria to Support President Bashar al-Assad's Forces Against the Largely Sunni Rebellion

Boy, things are really blowing up in the Middle East.

See, "Mideast Escalation: Iran to Send 4,000 Revolutionary Guards to Bolster Assad in Syria":

In years to come, historians will ask how America – after its defeat in Iraq and its humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan scheduled for 2014 – could have so blithely aligned itself with one side in a titanic Islamic struggle stretching back to the seventh century death of the Prophet Mohamed. The profound effects of this great schism, between Sunnis who believe that the father of Mohamed’s wife was the new caliph of the Muslim world and Shias who regard his son in law Ali as his rightful successor – a seventh century battle swamped in blood around the present-day Iraqi cities of Najaf and Kerbala – continue across the region to this day. A 17th century Archbishop of Canterbury, George Abbott, compared this Muslim conflict to that between “Papists and Protestants”.

Well, we've got the clusterf-k Barack Obama as commander-in-chief at this point.

And to think, two years ago, U.S. boots on the ground might have done some good. At this point though, the administration's mostly backing al Nusra forces allied to al Qaeda in the Middle East.

Freakin' unbelievable.

The F-35 Program Just Won't Fly

See, "Lockheed Martin's Joint Strike Fighter Struggles to Take Off."

In the skies above the Mojave Desert, test pilots today are pushing the radar-evading F-35 to new heights and flying to ever-increasing speeds to uncover design flaws. Just last week, an F-35 launched a missile in mid-flight from its internal weapons bay for the first time in a test flight for the Air Force.

But problems constantly crop up. Twice this year alone, F-35s have been grounded after different parts failed.

2013 Form 1030 TEA EZ..........................from Rico

There might be a small oversight on the new Tax Form from 2013...the 1040 TEA EZ.

- It seems they forgot to add the line item for ACA (Obamacare), which would nicely zero-out if not leave the taxpayer owing more than their income to Barry almighty and crew.

I'm sure that once those friendly IRS agents finish training with their AR-15's, this will be corrected.

- Perhaps just a simple form to attach a check for all your annual earnings, penalties for whatever imaginary reason the collection agency lovingly known as the IRS can fabricate or extrapolate from your digital communications, with a box to be checked stating that you agree to have them decide how much of an allowance (if any) you should receive in 'fairness' and 'for the common good' against your annual labour.

As the noted deep-thinker and economist Joe Biden says: "It's patriotic to pay taxes!"
