Hillary – a dangerous demagogue

This is a "first hand" account of the clintons and what they have done and will do in the future. This is terror plain and simple. May GOD help us if hillery is elected president! They will use the news media to exploit the simple minded. An example is the hostage news at the hillary office today. She will use this to her advantage, trying to make herself into someone who can act in an emergency. The hostage taker called cnn three times about health care, "a convenient truth", looks like a set up of some kind for sure. Just ask her a real question at a news conference and see what happens. She can't answer and will not answer questions from reporters because she has much to hide but she can make speeches and talk real big about what she will do, but what has she done? She has no experience or record to point to the path of the presidency. She is just a product of the news media. The liberal news media. A liar and a fake. She has a dangerous hidden agenda to push on the citiizens of the US. Bill clinton is her only claim to fame.

Hillary – a dangerous demagogue

I knew Hillary Rodham Clinton pretty well, before I read Kathleen Willey's new book, "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton."

Yet, I emerge from this experience with far more dread of a second Clinton administration than I thought was possible for me.

Like Willey, I have the bruises to show for the experience of eight years dealing with these dangerous demagogues, these Svengalis of American politics, this corrupt-to-the-core scam couple.

What I expected from "Target" was an expanded articulation of the sexual assault the former White House staffer suffered at the hands of the philanderer-in-chief. I certainly got that. But I got much more than I expected.

Willey's book is perhaps the best expose of the personal, moral bankruptcy of both Clintons – one of whom, you may have noticed, is a leading candidate for the presidency in 2008.

What Clinton did to Willey in the Oval Office is shocking. It showed he is a serial sexual predator. It showed he sees women as mere sexual objects. It showed he is some kind of psychotic narcissist. It showed he is immoral. It showed he has no self-control. It showed he has no respect for other human beings nor the office of the presidency. And it showed he is, as Willey put it, capable of just about anything – including rape.
But that is only a tiny part of the story, told in graphic detail though it is.

The bigger part of the expose is what both Bill and Hillary Clinton did to cover his tracks.


It is a story of absolute abuse of power, thuggery unimaginable to most Americans, terror no citizen should ever have to endure from "public servants."

Kathleen Willey makes a point most media people have never understood and most Americans could never understand. Many of us who crossed the Clintons – whether it was because of what we wrote or whether it was because we didn't yield to unwanted sexual attacks – feared for our lives as a result of winding up on their "enemies list."

And there were real-world consequences to being on the Clintons' enemies list. It could mean losing jobs. It could mean threats and harassment. It could mean invasion of privacy. It could mean break-ins and dead pets and flat tires. It could mean audits from the Internal Revenue Service. And I am convinced, as is Willey, it could mean untimely death.

Willey exposes it all – just in time to alert Americans to what they don't know about Bill and Hillary Clinton.

These are not just harmless, politically misguided hayseeds. This is a pair of ruthless, arrogant, power-mad politicians who would use any means necessary to return to the White House and stay there for as long as possible.

That most Americans still don't understand the kind of criminal syndicate they ran out of the White House is the most alarming part of all. After Monica and Paula and Dolly and Gennifer and Juanita and Elizabeth and Sally and Kathleen and many more, why is it that this serial abuse and harassment is still perceived as a matter of the Clintons' personal lives?

Could any other couple, in or out of politics, get away with sexual attacks, followed by mob-style intimidation and threats of violence?

I hope not. I don't know of any other – not even the Sopranos. And I'm from New Jersey.

The stakes are high, given Hillary's poll numbers, given her position as the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination, given the way so many of my colleagues in the press turn a blind eye to her devilish ambition and cunning criminality.

Thanks to Kathleen Willey for reminding America of what we will get if this wicked woman is not stopped.

Here is a man that knows what he is doing

State Representative Randy Terrell, R-Okla. is my kind of representative. He is more interested in US citizens than illegal aliens. I and other US citizens pay the bills for illegal aliens in the form of taxes that give free medical care, education etc.

The Huddle Study (Estimated cost of illegal aliens)

Because the number of illegal aliens can only be estimated, similarly the fiscal cost (government budget outlays) for those aliens can only be estimated. Dr. Donald Huddle, a Rice University economics professor, published a systematic analysis of those costs as of 1996 (see table below). The study also estimated the tax payments of those same aliens.

At that time, the illegal alien population was estimated to be about five million persons. The estimated fiscal cost of those illegal aliens to the federal, state and local governments was about $33 billion. This impact was partially offset by an estimated $12.6 billion in taxes paid to the federal, state and local governments, resulting in a net cost to the American taxpayer of about $20 billion every year. This estimate did not include indirect costs that result from unemployment payments to Americans who lost their jobs to illegal aliens willing to work for lower wages. Nor did it include lost tax collections from those American workers who became unemployed. The study estimated those indirect costs from illegal immigration at an additional $4.3 billion annually.

During the years since that estimate, the illegal alien population is estimated to have roughly doubled, so the estimated fiscal costs also will have at least doubled. Furthermore, the passage of time is accompanied by inflation in the costs of services, e.g., school budgets continue to climb. Therefore, what was estimated to be a cost to the American taxpayer of $33 billion in 1996 today would be at least $70 billion. Similarly, tax collections would have increased — sales taxes at least — so that the net expense to the taxpayer from illegal immigration would currently be at least $45 billion. The indirect fiscal costs would have also increased, especially during a period of already high unemployment, to perhaps and additional $10 billion annually.

The cost of incarceration of illegal aliens in state prisons has also risen rapidly. In fiscal year ’02, the Department of Justice’s State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) distributed $550 million to the states to help defray their expenses, but this was estimated to cover only about one fifth of their outlays. Between FY'99 and FY'02, alien detention increased by 45 percent (from about 69,300 inmate years to over 100,300 inmate years), and that trend is continuing. These expenses do not include the costs of illegal aliens incarcerated in federal prisons, public safety expenditures, detention pending trial, expenses of trial proceedings, interpretation, public defenders, or the incarceration expenses of immigrants for minor offenses that do not meet the standards of the SCAPP reimbursement program. Therefore, it is clear that outlays for Criminal Justice and Corrections costs is today much greater than double the 1996 estimate.

Liberals would have you not know the truth about how much it costs the US taxpayer.
Rep Randy Terrell knows that illegals cost the US taxpayer ever increasing taxes to pay for free government services while business gets to hire them for less and there for can cheat the US taxpayer. Also most illegals of course don't pay taxes and business gets another bonus from this. It's all about business wanting to hire illegals and pay them less and make more money. (Just think about this) Now you know the dirty little secret. The US worker loses his job to the illegal and pays for his government services! Rep Randy Terrell thank you for helping the US CITIZEN. Mexicans don't give a "xx" about Americans they just want to take advantage of the free ride because the US Government liberals have given them the green light to walk all over Americans. What a bunch of dirty bastards the liberal democrats and republicans are.




While many bills have addressed only one issue, Oklahoma passed an omnibus immigration bill in April that covers four major areas: documentation, public assistance, employment and law enforcement. The law prevents illegal immigrants from obtaining official government identification documents, including driver's licenses and voter registration cards. The legislation also terminates public assistance or entitlement benefits, with the exception of emergency medical assistance; criminalizes those who have an unlawful presence in the state and/or who harbor and transport undocumented aliens, or make them eligible for bail; and penalizes employers who hire undocumented workers. “Illegals will not come [to Oklahoma] if there are no jobs, no subsidies, and if they know they will be detained if they come in contact with law enforcement,” says State Representative Randy Terrell, R-Okla., who sponsored the bill. Terrell says those crafting the bill wanted the Oklahoma legislation to be in sync with federal immigration policy.

Dumb and Dummer

Dumb and Dummer. Dumb describes the Bush policy on immigration and the wide open borders. Dummer doesn't come close to describing Gore and his dangerous global warming lies. Together they are dumb and dummer.

Democrats should be ashamed of not funding our troops.

Harry reid, dick durban, nancy pelosi, ted kennedy etc etc should be ashamed of not funding the troops. Looking at the troops having thanksgiving dinner makes me think of all the times the democrats have tried to make the surge not work by allways holding up the funds for our troops in combat and elsewhere in the world. Harry reid and company are traitors to the US and should be brought to trial as such. GOD bless our men and women who defend us and the EXCREMENT!democrats and republicans in congress.

Grand Unified Theory?

An Exceptionally Simple Theory...My theory: G=MX (Gravity = Matter times the rotation of sub atomic particle fields) The earth rotates in a counter clockwise rotation. The earth and all the planets move in a counter clockwise rotation around the sun. The sun moves around the galaxy in a totally different direction. One spin within another spin within a counter spin. The counter spin of the sun moving through the galaxy causes sub atomic particles to rotate in kaleidoscope patterns that can only be mathematical theories of the ever evolving kaleidoscope patterns which generate sub atomic gravity fields which link togeather to form the unseen but felt force of gravity. The force of gravity is caused by them sum of the sub atomic kaleidoscope gravity fields generated by their constant movement. The attraction of a neg to a pos causes a force to be generated when combined in the sub atomic universe of spin adds up to one big force which pulls us toward this force. This subatomic force is balanced when a satellite is moving at the speed the curvature of the earth is moving. In summation gravity is but the rotation of sub atomic particles combined force. Matter helps create this force because of the subatomic movement of matter...hince outerspace has less gravity but still has gravity but less of a direct force than a larger body of matter such as the earth, which has six times the gravity of the moon. Matter rotates and generates gravity fields, the larger the matter the more the sub atomic particles that rotate.
The Magnetic push and pull of sub atomic particles generates the force known as gravity. It is the movement of postive or negative electrical particles which generates the sub atomic magnetic fileds of attraction or repulsion. BINGO!

This is my theory of gravity. Bill Rains Phd in BS from the university of BS.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A surfer dude with no fixed address may be this century's Einstein.

A. Garrett Lisi, a physicist who divides his time between surfing in Maui and teaching snowboarding in Lake Tahoe, has come up with what may be the Grand Unified Theory.

That's the "holy grail" of physics that scientists have been searching for ever since Albert Einstein presented his General Theory of Relativity nearly 100 years ago.

Even more remarkable is that Lisi, who has a Ph.D. but no permanent university affiliation, solves the problem without resorting to exotic dimensions, string theory or exceptionally complex mathematics.


A successful Grand Unified Theory would use a series of equations to show how the four fundamental forces of nature — gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces — relate to each other.

Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force, which controls radioactivity, were linked more than 30 years ago, and some progress has been made with linking them to the strong nuclear force, which binds protons together in the atomic nucleus.

But gravity has always been an outlier. Not only have all attempts to link gravity to the other three forces failed, but physicists still can't agree on what gravity actually is or how it works.

Lisi solves this by using the E8 lattice, an eight-dimensional structure visualized earlier this year in a widely circulated paper.


He noticed that several of the equations used to describe the lattice matched those he'd come up with trying to resolve the four fundamental forces.

"The moment this happened my brain exploded with the implications and the beauty of the thing," Lisi tells New Scientist magazine. "I thought: 'Holy crap, that's it!'"


By mapping known subatomic particles, plus 20 imaginary ones, onto the 248 points of the E8 lattice, and then rotating the lattice in a computer model, Lisi shows how the particles elegantly combine to form three of the four forces.

The imaginary ones combine to form gravity, for which subatomic particles have only been theorized.


"Some incredibly beautiful stuff falls out of Lisi's theory," David Ritz Finkelstein of Georgia Tech tells New Scientist. "I think that this must be more than coincidence and he really is touching on something profound."

But Professor Marcus du Sautoy of Oxford tells Britain's Daily Telegraph that "there seem to be a lot of things still to fill in."

For his part, Lisi self-mockingly calls his finding "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything," and downplays the suggestion that it may be the Grand Unified Theory.

"The theory is very young, and still in development," he tells the Daily Telegraph. "Right now, I'd assign a low (but not tiny) likelihood to this prediction."

He hopes the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, currently being built on the Swiss-French border will find some of his 20 imaginary gravity-related particles.

"This is an all-or-nothing kind of theory — it's either going to be exactly right, or spectacularly wrong," Lisi tells New Scientist. "I'm the first to admit this is a long shot. But it ain't over till the LHC sings."

Obama says he has no Illinois records

This is really the truth! I should say partial truth. He like hillary evades answering questions that would expose his lack of experience to be considered as someone who could lead this country as president. When he says he has no record it is the truth, no record or qualifications to make anyone other than a simple emotional voter who is willing to believe anything and will vote for him because of the liberal media attention. He is a poor example of a candidate for president. Just like hillary he is carefully managed to keep the American voter in the dark about his "elvis type campaign and handlers" He says he didn't keep any records when he was a state senator. This sounds just like a clinton reason for not doing what you know he did. Why would you vote for this man who doesn't have enough common sense to keep any records of anything he did while he was in elected state office? Immature,dangerous and no qualifications is what I have have observed.


No record or I don't recall?

How Could So Many Climate Modelers Be So Wrong?

Exact Weather


Simple minds believe lies if told the lie over and over. Such is the "global Warming" mith. Read the article below and try to reason why "global warming" is a lie!

While sunlight is the source of energy for the Earth's weather and climate system, it is rain and snow systems that control how warm or how cold temperatures get on Earth. They do this in two ways: 1) they directly limit how much of our main greenhouse gas, water vapor, is allowed to accumulate in the Earth's atmosphere; and 2) they directly or indirectly control global cloudiness.
FACTOID: Al Gore likes to say that mankind puts 70 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every day. What he probably doesn't know is that mother nature puts 24,000 times that amount of our main greenhouse gas -- water vapor -- into the atmosphere every day.

Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

Intro by Joe D’Aleo, Icecap, CCM
I was privileged to work with John Coleman, the founder of The Weather Channel in the year before it became a reality and then for the first of the 6 years I was fortunate to be the Director of Meteorology. No one worked harder than John to make The Weather Channel a reality and to make sure the staffing, the information and technology was the very best possible at that time. John currently works with KUSI in San Diego. He posts regularly. I am very pleased to present his latest insightful post.

By John Coleman

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild “scientific” scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment.

I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a non-event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won’t believe a me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.

I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismissal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway. I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend.

I say this knowing you probably won't believe me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.

I suspect you might like to say to me, "John, look the research that supports the case for global warming was done by research scientists; people with PH D's in Meteorology. They are employed by major universities and important research institutions. Their work has been reviewed by other scientists with PH D's. They have to know a lot more about it than you do. Come on, John, get with it. The experts say our pollution has created an strong and increasing greenhouse effect and a rapid, out of control global warming is underway that will sky rocket temperatures, destroy agriculture, melt the ice caps, flood the coastlines and end life as we know it. How can you dissent from this crisis? You must be a bit nutty.

Allow me, please, to explain how I think this all came about. Our universities have become somewhat isolated from the rest of us. There is a culture and attitudes and values and pressures on campus that are very different. I know this group well. My father and my older brother were both PHD-University types. I was raised in the university culture. Any person who spends a decade at a university obtaining a PHD in Meteorology and become a research scientist, more likely than not, becomes a part of that single minded culture. They all look askance at the rest of us, certain of their superiority. They respect government and disrespect business, particularly big business. They are environmentalists above all else.

And, there is something else. These scientists know that if they do research and results are in no way alarming, their research will gather dust on the shelf and their research careers will languish. But if they do research that sounds alarms, they will become well known and respected and receive scholarly awards and, very importantly, more research dollars will come flooding their way.

So when these researchers did climate change studies in the late 90's they were eager to produce findings that would be important and be widely noticed and trigger more research funding. It was easy for them to manipulate the data to come up with the results they wanted to make headlines and at the same time drive their environmental agendas. Then their like minded PHD colleagues reviewed their work and hastened to endorse it without question.

There were a few who didn't fit the mold. They did ask questions and raised objections. They did research with contradictory results. The environmental elitists berated them brushed their studies aside.

I have learned since the Ice Age is coming scare in the 1970's to always be a skeptic about research. In the case of global warming, I didn't accept media accounts. Instead I read dozens of the scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct when I assure you there is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. It is all a scam, the result of bad science.

I am not alone in this assessment. There are hundreds of other meteorologists, many of them PH D's, who are as certain as I am that this global warming frenzy is based on bad science and is not valid.

I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.

In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped.

The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway.

Sinking Currency, Sinking Country

I agree with Buchanan. They politians have sold this county to red china. The chickens are comming home to roost...in the form of foreign ownership of this countries assets.
Allmost everything is made in china now. Nafta etc is the product of one world government. Slowly we are becomming a third world nation and we can thank our congress and presidents. Like a frog in a boiling pot of water we are cooking but don't feel it,yet.


Sinking Currency, Sinking Country
Fri Nov 2, 3:00 AM ET

The euro, worth 83 cents in the early George W. Bush years, is at $1.45.

The British pound is back up over $2, the highest level since the Carter era. The Canadian dollar, which used to be worth 65 cents, is worth more than the U.S. dollar for the first time in half a century.

Oil is over $90 a barrel. Gold, down to $260 an ounce not so long ago, has hit $800.

Have gold, silver, oil, the euro, the pound and the Canadian dollar all suddenly soared in value in just a few years?

Nope. The dollar has plummeted in value, more so in Bush's term than during any comparable period of U.S. history. Indeed, Bush is presiding over a worldwide abandonment of the American dollar.

Is it all Bush's fault? Nope.

The dollar is plunging because America has been living beyond her means, borrowing $2 billion a day from foreign nations to maintain her standard of living and to sustain the American Imperium.

The prime suspect in the death of the dollar is the massive trade deficits America has run up, some $5 trillion in total since the passage of NAFTA and the creation of the World Trade Organization in 1994.

In 2006, that U.S. trade deficit hit $764 billion. The current account deficit, which includes the trade deficit, plus the net outflow of interest, dividends, capital gains and foreign aid, hit $857 billion, 6.5 percent of GDP. As some of us have been writing for years, such deficits are unsustainable and must lead to a decline of the dollar.

A sinking dollar means a poorer nation, and a sinking currency has historically been the mark of a sinking country. And a superpower with a sinking currency is a contradiction in terms.

What does this mean for America and Americans?

As nations realize that the dollars they are being paid for their products cannot buy in the world markets what they once did, they will demand more dollars for those goods. This will mean rising prices for the imports on which America has become more dependent than we have been since before the Civil War.

U.S. tourists traveling to the countries whence their ancestors came will find that the money they saved up does not go as far as they thought.

U.S. soldiers stationed overseas will find the cost of rent, gasoline, food, clothing and dining out takes larger and larger bites out of their paychecks. The people those U.S. soldiers defend will be demanding more and more of their money.

U.S. diplomats stationed overseas, students and businessmen are already facing tougher times.

U.S. foreign aid does not go as far as it did. And there is an element of comedy in seeing the United States going to Beijing to borrow dollars, thus putting our children deeper in debt, to send still more foreign aid to African despots who routinely vote the Chinese line at the United Nations.

The Chinese, whose currency is tied to the dollar, and Japan will continue, as long as they can, to keep their currencies low against the dollar. For the Asians think long term, and their goals are strategic.

China — growing at 10 percent a year for two decades and now growing at close to 12 percent — is willing to take losses in the value of the dollars it holds to keep the U.S. technology, factories and jobs pouring in, as their exports capture America's markets from U.S. producers.

The Japanese will take some loss in the value of their dollar hoard to take down Chrysler, Ford and GM, and capture the U.S. auto market as they captured our TV, camera and computer chip markets.

Asians understand that what is important is not who consumes the apples, but who owns the orchard.

Other nations that have kept cash reserves in U.S. Treasury bonds and T-bills are watching the value of these assets sink. Not fools, they will begin, as many already have, to divest and diversify, taking in fewer dollars and more euros and yen. As more nations abandon the dollar, its decline will continue.

The oil-producing and exporting nations, with trade surpluses, like China, have also begun to take the stash of dollars they have and stuff them into sovereign wealth funds, and use these immense and growing funds to buy up real assets in the United States — investment banks and American companies.

Nor is there any end in sight to the sinking of the dollar. For, as foreigners demand more dollars for the oil and goods they sell us, the trade deficit will not fall. And as the U.S. government prints more and more dollars to cover the budget deficits that stretch out — with the coming retirement of the baby boomers — all the way to the horizon, the value of the dollar will fall. And as Ben Bernanke at the Fed tries to keep interest rates low, to keep the U.S. economy from sputtering out in the credit crunch, the value of the dollar will fall.

The chickens of free trade are coming home to roost.
