Well once again the American tax payers have been played by obama and his Flying Monkeys. How many times have we heard obama on the stump telling us we need to save the jobs of teachers, firefighters and police. Surprise ...surprise ....as it turns out 12 % of the evil rich, those American citizens whose net worth is over 1,000,000 .....you know the 1 % are those very same teachers.How many billions of the stimulus was funneled to teachers and the unions ?
Good news ....good news, for those of you with an especially annoying ex or a neighbor whose dog wakes you at all hours or if engaged in a political or legal dispute ....not to worry. There now seems to be a remedy for those annoying pests, hire someone to kill them. In the past these remedies have long been denied to the public at large and its use has been confined to the mob or drug dealers, well ....no longer. In a sudden reversal of a long held policy the obama administration has declined to arrest and charge the head of the new black panther party for offering a contract for murder. There has been no official comment by the administration on this sudden policy change and legal scholars are urging caution to all those considering this new opportunity for remedial action as this policy change flies in the face of long held legal precedence and may not survive a court challenge. Another issue raised by these same legal scholars is the disposition of pending cases and they urge that all adopt a wait and see attitude until all questions are resolved

There is big bar area with tables off to the side and plenty of free parking across the street where the Tomato Festival is held. It's easy to find just drive north on River Street from W-B and it's on the left. Or south from Scranton and it's on the right.
I'll let the story speak for itself .... you draw your own conclusions.
Parents of Murdered British Students Slam Obama For Lack of Compassion
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 11:46 AM
You may have missed this.
The liberal media has been too busy covering the Trayvon Martin shooting to pay attention to the high profile Florida murder trial that was going on across town this week. Two British students who were gunned down in Miami by black youth while on vacation last year. Today the killer was sentenced to life in prison.
Earlier this week the victims’ friends confronted the ‘cowardly’ killer prior to his sentencing.
Today the parents of two British students murdered in Florida slammed President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their son’s deaths. The Telegraph reported:
I know its not really a question but for the life of me I can't see a down side here. Malik Shabazz head of the New Black Panther Party has threatened to burn the city of Detroit if the state steps in and cuts the free chit. I guess a little history is needed. Well this is from memory I just don't feel like digging it all up and its not that complicated. Detroit is broke ...busted ...tap city it has been run by liberals and only liberals for over 50 years. It once had a population of close to 2 million and was the wealthiest city of its size in the country. Today after 50 years of liberalism, its a third world slide area and the state may have to step in and run the city and put it on an austerity program. If that happens a lot of people's rice bowls are going to be broken and if the state starts to investigate perhaps prison for more than a few. In any case I fail to see a downside here ....the state can save the city and itself millions ....they get the city burnt, which means they won't have to bulldoze it to turn it into farmland as is planned for 1/3 of the city and every time there is a fire anywhere you can arrest Shabazz. Its a 3 fer ...works for me.
New Black Panther Leader Malik Shabazz Threatens to “Burn This City Down” at Detroit City Meeting (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 6:40 AM
New Black Panther leader Malik Shabazz threatened to “burn this city down” at a town hall meeting in Detroit on Monday. About 30-40 people disrupted the meeting Monday. “And, before we let you take over our city, we will burn it down!”
I have been watching the ever increasing frenzy over the death of Trayvon Martin with a mounting sense of horror. It seems the liberal press, obama , the black panthers, jessie jackson, al sharpton, louis farrakhan, spike lee and others have decided the fate of George Zimmerman, facts and the unknown be damned.
The case has been heard in the court of liberal public opinion, oral arguments have been made ( witnesses ignored ) the approved evidence has been weighed and the sentence has been handed down, GUILTY AS CHARGED. The only dispute now seems to be the severity of the sentence. The black panthers are advocating death as their 10,000 reward for Zimmerman dead or alive makes clear they're preference. Spike Lee made certain if someone wanted to collect the reward they would know where to go when he posted Zimmerman's address on twitter. The justice brothers al and jessie with farrakhan want their version of justice which entails them jetting in, giving speeches, raking in a few bucks off the injustice of it all and perhaps inciting the odd riot or two. If a few people die because of their rhetoric, well its a small price to pay for justice, except perhaps to the dead and their families. Its not as though they pulled the trigger themselves, they merely loaded the gun and left it carelessly laying about for others to make use of. Our president has made it clear that if the state and local government fail to achieve the desired outcome not to worry, the feds will step in and assure justice prevails for the son he never had.
And now for the press, it has been sometime since I have seen such a blatant attempt to sway public opinion to the desired outcome. No that's not true. I can say with all honesty I have never seen such a blatant attempt to sway public opinion. They have since the beginning committed the sin of omission on a grand scale. They first identified Zimmerman as white , he's not. The national press never informed the public that they had witnesses to the incident until sometime later and only after it broke on the blogs. They have altered photograph's of the man who was shot. They have largely confined their use of photo's to old out of date photo's of the man who was shot knowing full well there are more recent ones but they do not depict the young man as they, the press wish him to be seen. They failed to find out he was suspended for 10 days due to drugs being found on him. If you remember the 911 call Zimmerman said he thought the man was on drugs and was acting strangely. They reported the screams on the 911 call as belonging to the dead man when according to the police and witnesses it was Zimmerman who was screaming. They failed to report that both a witness and Zimmerman said it was the shooting victim who assaulted Zimmerman and this was collaborated by physical evidence collected and observed by the police on the scene . The press has reported that Zimmerman was a habitual caller to 911. Well it turns out he made 46 calls between Jan 1 of 2011 and up to the night of the shooting. That's about 1 every 10 days and most of those were to report open doors, windows and the like, only 9 were to report suspicious people. If I were so inclined I could make that many valid 911 calls just in my neighborhood in Wilkes Barre on a warm summer week end.
I don't know what happened nor do the people calling for Zimmerman's head on a pike but I do know that there are enough questions that it is best to wait and see what an investigation brings. I also think we may have run out of time as the mobs are on the move and its likely to late to call them off. To Mr. Zimmerman pack your bags and make out your will because its even money and you pick it as to who is going to get you ...the feds or the crazies.
UPDATE...It seems Trayvon had been suspended not just once but 3 times over about 4 months ... once for having dope and a pipe ....once for having a bag full of woman's jewelery and what the school police officer described as burglar tools. The officer was searching Trayvon because the day before he had observed Trayvon on camera vandalising the school and while searching him to retrieve the items he had used to vandalise the school he discovered the jewelry and burglar tools and once for truancy. Zimmerman was concerned that Trayvon was acting strangely and may have been on drugs and that he was casing the homes in the area as he stated in 911 call.
Multiple suspensions paint complicated portrait of Trayvon Martin
UPDATE.... This doesn't really address any issues in the legal case but it does throw into question the presses portrayal of of Trayvon and of his attitude ....its a list of tweets going back months ....look at his handle

Do it for Trayvon!
High school students in Miami decieded to ransack the local Walgreens on the way to a Trayvon Martin rally. The students left the store when the vice principal ordered them out. WSVN has video:
North Miami Beach police said surveillance video shows dozens of high school students demonstrating in the Trayvon Martin case Friday ransacking and shoplifting from a Walgreens store.
UPDATE... Well we can lay to more memes from the mainstream media to rest and we owe them for the evidence. CBS posted a vid of Zimmerman being lead into the police station and in no time the liberals were all in a lather scream ... LOOK ....LOOK .....no blood .....no bruising ....well if you view the tape at about 42 seconds in you can see a police officer come around Zimmerman and look at the back of his head for 3 or 4 seconds. Another meme we can lay to rest is that Zimmerman is a hulking 250 lb brute ......if you look at the vid you can see Zimmerman is quite thin and is close in size to Trayvon Martin
I haven't had much to say about the liberals latest attempt to drive Rush off the air as it happens on a pretty regular basis and with the same results. They whip themselves into a pretend frenzy and when its all over Rush is still there. The liberals don't like Rush and there are a good many other folks on that list but what it all boils down to is the liberals honestly believe they are the only ones who should be allowed to speak freely and openly everyone else needs to shut the hell up.
I have been listening to the anti rich rhetoric from the administration for several years now and to be honest its getting on my nerves. They have stated that the rich need to pay their fair share so often I am beginning to wonder if they are beginning to believe their own bullshit. The fact is the rich pay their fair share and then some but the liberals and their Flying Monkeys needed a whipping boy and I guess it was their turn.
The truth of the matter is if we stripped the rich of every thin dime they had it still wouldn't do much to reduce obama's deficits. I ran across this video a while back when the dust up in WI was taking place over Scott Walker and the unions pitched a hissy fit and michael moore decided to throw his 2 cents onto the table. The left wants more and they want more to funnel it to those who contribute very little to society. The poor in this country live in the suburbs, in 3 bedroom homes with electric lights, AC, heat, hot water, cheap or free housing, a better medical plan than most, an assured food budget, cell phones, and most have cars. The left seem to believe that the poor now deserve the same life style and benefits of those who work and that we the tax payers should fund it. Its a nice gig I guess if you can stomach it. You don't need to worry about the mortgage, keeping your property up, taxes, medical bills, none of the things that keep me and others awake at night and they want more. We have made poverty far to comfortable I think.
1,056 days, we fought and won WW II in about that amount of time. Built the Empire State building in about 1/2 that time. Were about 1/2 way in our endevor to reach the moon with the Apollo program. Yet today it has been 1,056 days since the democrats in the Senate have passed a budget. Harry Reid says we really don't need one.
Chicago has long held the reputation as being the most corrupt political landscape in American politics and it is all democrat all the time. Personally I have always thought our little corner of paradise here in Luzerne county could give them lessons in both plain and fancy skulduggery. This story doesn't dissuade me from that opinion but I have to admit that it does rank up there with the best of them ....a sort of a new high in lows if you will. I think I would feel right at home in Chicago and I'm sure more than a few Luzerne county residents would have to agree with me. The foul stench that wafts through the air in both places has to be very much the same and as I said obama rose to the top in that cesspool.
Dems: Vote for accused bribe-taker
By ABDON M. PALLASCH, DAVE MCKINNEY and LYNN SWEET Staff Reporters March 18, 2012 10:36P
In the parks, churches, bowling alleys and VFW halls of Illinois, candidates for president, state supreme court, state representative and every office in-between made their last-minute pitches before Tuesday’s primary elections.
Perhaps the most audacious plea came from West Side Democratic elected officials who urged voters to support an Illinois House member charged with bribery. It looks bad, they acknowledged, but it will prevent the seat from falling into the hands of Republicans.
The rally in support of appointed state Rep. Derrick Smith (D-Chicago) featured U.S. Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.), three aldermen and a county commissioner and even adopted a catchy moniker: “No defeat or retreat — keep the Dem seat.”
Well they say great minds think alike and it seems that not so great minds think alike as well. When both liberals and Al Qaeda hate you and curse your name you know you have to be doing something right. Whats even more telling is who Al Qaeda thinks are the least objectionable. Would it surprise anyone that they tend to favor the very same media outlets as liberals. How so very odd me thinks.
The bin Laden plot to kill President Obama
Bin Laden and his aides hoped for big terrorist operations to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. They also had elaborate media plans. Adam Gadahn, a U.S.-born media adviser, even discussed in a message to his boss what would be the best television outlets for a bin Laden anniversary video.
“It should be sent for example to ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN and maybe PBS and VOA. As for Fox News let her die in her anger,” Gadahn wrote. At another point, he said of the networks: “From a professional point of view, they are all on one level — except [Fox News] channel, which falls into the abyss as you know, and lacks objectivity, too.”
What an unintended boost for Fox, which can now boast that it is al-Qaeda’s least favorite network.

The Keystone Pipeline project was expected to create tens of thousands of high paying jobs in the oil industry. The project itself would create 20,000 construction jobs. And the pipeline would bring oil from Canada and North Dakota to refineries in the United States.
But it was just a big pipe dream.
(Bob McCarty)
With gas prices at record levels…
Senate Democrats rejected the Keystone Pipeline and drilling in ANWR yesterday in a single vote. EVERY DEMOCRAT, except for Senator Begich from Alaska, voted against the legislation that would increase American oil production.
The Pioneer Press reported:
My Daddy told me a story once...he said son, someday a man is going to walk up to you and offer to bet that he can make the jack of spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear....son if you take that bet you will wind up with a ear full of cider sure as hell. Well the CBO released new numbers on obama care and its projected cost has doubled. To rub a wee bit of salt into the democrats wounds on this one they also project it will not cover as may as the democrats told us it would. Now I am not going to say that the democrats were lying little zipper weasels and that they knew they were lying little zipper weasels when they sold us this steaming pile of fecal matter. I will say that as I and the majority of the American people sat there and watched their noses grow we had a feeling that we were going to wind up with an ear full of cider and we did.
CBO: New 10-year projected cost of ObamaCare is … $1.76 trillion
WILKES-BARRE – Prominent local attorney Anthony J. Lupas is under criminal investigation for allegedly stealing more than $1 million from potentially dozens of people though a bogus investment scheme he operated, an attorney who represents several of the alleged victims said Monday
It was expected and it surprises me it took them as long as it did. Today the Dept of Justice killed a Texas voter I.D. law. Democrats have made voter fraud big business and without it they would not do as well as they do. They have national groups and organizations whose sole purpose seems to be rigging the election process by hook or crook. They of course claim that voter fraud is not a problem and that those who support tighter control of the voting process are at best, against the poor and at worst racists. If you are paying attention however and know where and how to look ( not the national news casts ) there are voter fraud cases that come to light nearly ever week. In any case the Dept of Justice killed a Texas voter I.D. law stating that many Hispanic voters do not have state issued I.D. In short they are saying that certain people should be exempt from attaining one of the most basic necessity's needed in our modern society and that their decision to do so should be allowed to decide and affect our voting process. To put it bluntly the democrats are insisting that a large % of their voters are to stupid or lazy to meet the basic lawful standards required to vote and that being the case its up to the rest of us to accept the consequences of their inability or laziness.
Holder DOJ Stops Texas’ Voter ID Law: We Told You So
This is no surprise. But it could have been avoided:
The Justice Department’s civil rights division on Monday objected to a new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas because many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.
—
In regard to Texas, “I cannot conclude that the state has sustained its burden” of showing that the newly enacted law has neither a discriminatory purpose nor effect, Thomas E. Perez, the head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division, said in a letter to the Texas secretary of state.
As I am sure most of you have noticed gas prices have increased by large margins over the last few weeks. If you have been paying attention this comes as no surprise as gas prices began to climb from the day obama was elected and in a little over 3 years have more than doubled and in some places nearly tripled. Well its now to the point where it is beginning to drag obama's polling numbers down and a large majority of those polled blame obama. Could it be that the American public have indeed been paying attention to obama's energy policies and their affect on prices ? To be honest I find it difficult to grasp the nuances of the international oil market and am confused by the conflicting reasons given for the rise in prices but common sense tells me more drilling is better. And a pipeline can't hurt. We have 2 million plus miles of pipeline in the U.S. now, we know how to do it.
UPDATE 4-Harrisburg, Pa. to skip two debt payments By Hilary Russ March 9 (Reuters) - Pennsylvania's distressed capital city, Harrisburg, will skip $5.3 million of debt payments due next week, the first time the city has defaulted on its general obligation bonds, to ensure there is enough cash to fund vital services.
Pennsylvania's capital of 50,000 people is mired in $326 million of debt due to the expensive retrofits and repairs of its troubled trash incinerator.
"Although this default on general obligation bonds is unfortunate, I don't think it's going to hold up the process for proceeding under the recovery plan," Receiver David Unkovic said.
Well I'd like to say this surprises me but it doesn't. What's a nuclear war as opposed to obama's re election ? How inconvenient would that be for our President ....all that noise and stuff.
Israel to delay strike on Iran until after US elections?
White House tells Sunday Times Obama pressed Netanyahu to postpone Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities until after November, adding president 'might visit Israel in summer'
7:40 P.M There was a shooting on Fulton Street in W.B. City .... Hispanic male ....grey pick up ....may be on foot in area of North Sherman and Coal street. 8:10 P.M..... 1/2 dozen police have a guy stopped in front of my house. just released him. 8:20 ...police and dogs checking back yard ....never boring here in the Heights....16 news crew just rolled by so it might be on 10:00 news ..... 8:40 all kinds of flashing lights and sirens end of street...8:50... May have found truck on Oakwood lane which is 3 or 4 blocks Southeast of the shooting and same street as another shooting or stabbing just a few weeks ago as far as I know no arrests have been made in that one ...not sure if thats the case but they seem excited and they sent out a detective. On the Times Leader web site .....The man shot supposed to be a 28 year old from Logan Street ....no description of suspect given.... Just heard on scanner a response to a query by newspaper if there was going to be an announcement of an arrest ...reply was no not now ....wonder if they have someone in custody. If that was the truck they found up on Oakwood Lane a man was shot there back in Dec. Folks if ya live in Wilkes Barre buy a scanner ...around here its a survival tool
WILKES-BARRE - A man from New Jersey was shot in the abdomen at Oakwood and Cross lanes Wednesday night.
Police said Andre Fuller, of Newark, claimed he was in an altercation with another man who pulled a handgun and shot him in the stomach just before 7:30 p.m.
Fuller was treated at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, police said.
Fuller described the gunman as a black male, mid 20s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a skinny build.
Detroit — Part of an $11 million grant intended to provide business attire to 400 low-income job-seekers instead helped only two people, an audit of the city's Department of Human Services has found.
This is the end result of decades of the government being mother and father to its citizens. Its government money ....its free ....everyone deserves a house ....free health care ....free birth control .... free food ..... free housing ..... free cell phones. And the kicker here folks is its not illegal. She received a bit over 500,000 and stayed on welfare ....because she's entitled to it. God help us but these people vote and I wonder who she voted for ....anyone want to give me odds, cause I'll bet I know.
While most people have played the “if I had a million dollars I would ____ ” thought game, few fill that blank in with “stay on public assistance.”
Amanda Clayton, a 24-year-old from Lincoln Park, Mich., is one of the few who does, and she is getting away with it. Clayton won $1 million from the Michigan State Lottery this fall, but she is still collecting and using $200 a month in food assistance from the taxpayers with her Michigan Bridge Card.
“I thought that they would cut me off, but since they didn’t, I thought maybe it was okay because I’m not working,” the lottery winner who just purchased a new house and car told Local 4 in Detroit. The station even filmed her shamelessly purchasing goods.
When Local 4 asked if she felt she had a right to the money, Clayton responded, “I mean I kinda do.”
Clayton justified the sentiment by explaining that after taking her winnings in a lump sum and having to pay taxes, the total amount was just over half of the initial winnings.
“I feel that it’s okay because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay,” she said. “I have two houses.”
While the liberal world pillories Rush this of course gets a pass. Daily Kos calls upon the democrat crazies to harass Breitbart's funeral.
P.S. and yes the leader of Westboro is a card carrying member of the democrat party
Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15 percent of the vote in 1998.[33] In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31 percent of the vote.[34] Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993[35][36] and 1997.[37]
The Prime Minister of Israel spoke at ALPAC last night and if anyone had any question as to Israel's intent concerning Iran's nuclear weapons and their course of action he removed them last night. In the course of that speech he removed any doubts as to what our course of action should be as well. Was obama listening, that remains to be seen but make no mistake this man will strike Iran. No, let me restate that , this man is going to strike Iran and if he does it alone, shame on us. Listen and tell me if this man means what he says.
The left vilified Breitbart and he laughed and raged and bit deeper into their ass and took no prisoners in his war against the left. He understood the dangers they pose to us as individuals and as a nation and he shouted that knowledge from the rooftops and he showed us how they did it. He and James O'Keefe destroyed A.C.O.R.N., gave NPR a black eye, Anthony Weiner is unemployed because of AB, Planned Parenthood was very nearly crippled, and for this the left hated him. Where ever Breitbart shone his light he exposed the moral and societal bankruptcy that is liberal thought and deed. I'm sure that tonight a good many of them sleep a little easier knowing he has passed. I will miss him and his work.
This isn't going to make some people very happy if it turns out to be true. Its really going to irk liberals who love to point out that we stole this land from the Indians. I have also seen in the ILLEGAL ALIEN debate more than a few state we have no right to ask anyone to leave as we are ILLEGAL ALIENS ourselves. Well it turns out maybe not.
New evidence suggests Stone Age hunters from Europe discovered America
New archaeological evidence suggests that America was first discovered by Stone Age people from Europe – 10,000 years before the Siberian-originating ancestors of the American Indians set foot in the New World.
A remarkable series of several dozen European-style stone tools, dating back between 19,000 and 26,000 years, have been discovered at six locations along the US east coast. Three of the sites are on the Delmarva Peninsular in Maryland, discovered by archaeologist Dr Darrin Lowery of the University of Delaware. One is in Pennsylvania and another in Virginia. A sixth was discovered by scallop-dredging fishermen on the seabed 60 miles from the Virginian coast on what, in prehistoric times, would have been dry land.
