So this is Obama’s big plan to fix the economy? You have to be kidding me. With all the problems facing Americans today, this is what Obama and his cohorts come up with . . . that’s embarrassing!

In order for a car to achieve an A+, the car would have to get 117 miles per gallon or MPG. I guess only bicycles will get an A+ for the first 100 years.

Are the people at the EPA and Obama out of their minds? How can these dullards even justify suggesting this kind of nonsense when after 2 years in office, the American economy is still in the toilet.

It doesn’t matter if its the economy that Obama inherited from GW Bush. Obama had all these great ideas during the 2008 campaign and has followed through on only one, Health Care Reform, which will in all eventuality bankrupt America. Now after two years in office, Obama wants to deflect blame back on Bush? WTF???

The malaise and stagnation of the American economy is a direct result of blunders and policy coming directly from the Obama Administration. Other world economies are growing. India had 8 percent growth this year. Germany, who is pulling back from their socialist past and CUTTING SPENDING AND TAXES grew 7.6 percent. Even the Russian economy grew at 4 percent.

Meanwhile here in America, we have a president in Obama, who has done exactly the wrong thing at precisely the right time. It so reminds me and everyone old enough to remember of Jimmy Carter. In fact there are many economists that call Obama’s presidency the second term of Jimmy Carter.

Reforming health care, raising taxes, letting tax breaks run out, all of these actions by Obama and the democrats take money out of the economy. They cause an economy to falter.

It has not gotten to the point that even the liberal media that helped elect Obama have begun to ask the questions that should have been asked during the campaign. Mainly, what is Obama going to do to fix the economy.

Amazingly enough, the silence from Obama and the idiots he calls advisers has been deafening, with the exception of the usual platitudes like, “The fed stands at the ready to throw more money at the situation” and “Blame the republicans for stonewalling what doesn’t work anyway.”

For the ardent defenders of the messiah, cutting taxes gives people more money to spend and more importantly, pay off debt. Throwing money at the recession that isn’t even worth the paper that its printed on solves nothing and this has been proven in the last two and a half years.

That’s right, for those of you to loaded from bong hits to remember, GW Bush sent the first stimulus package through. All of these stimulus packages have done little or nothing to help the economy.

So America will continue along moving sideways. Our taxes will go up. We will all sit back and watch the house and senate go back to the republicans like it did in 1994 ala Bill Clinton and his own ineptness that sent us into an economic tailspin. Its going to be a long two years. JD

At least 18 mushroom-lovers have been killed in accidents while hunting for their favorite fungi in the mountains and forests of northern Italy.

Mountain rescuers say eager mushroom seekers are abandoning safety procedures as they don camouflage and hunt in darkness to protect coveted troves, la Repubblica newspaper reported on Sunday.

“There is too much carelessness. Too many people don’t give a darn about the right rules and unfortunately this is the result,” Gino Comelli, head of the Alpine rescue service in northwest Italy’s Valle di Fassa, told the newspaper.

Seventeen people have died in nine days — six in 48 hours alone — mostly from sliding off steep, damp slopes in the northern mountains, la Repubblica said in a story headlined “the massacre of the mushroom hunters.”

Another person has been missing for more than a week, it said.

Ansa news agency said a man who had been hunting mushrooms was found dead on Sunday in the Alpine region of Valtellina.

A combination of August thunderstorms and hot weather has led to a bumper mushroom crop that has drawn the first hunters of what is expected to be a boom season.

Note to Sheriff Joe Arpaio : Don’t worry about the Mexican drug cartels putting a price on your head. You have the strongest, wealthiest and toughest cartel from Chicago after you now. The Obama cartel.

Just who do you think you are Joe Arpaio? Aren’t you a government employee? Where do you get off actually doing your job and enforcing the laws of America? I guess no one told you that as a government employee you not are required to do anything and you are making the rest of the government lackeys look bad.

Now you have the Obama cartel after you and once they put the word out and order the hit, there is no stopping them. They will pass laws to make sure you disappear.

In all seriousness, unless there is evidence of impropriety, there is nothing the justice department which is clearly being directed by president Obama, can do about Arpaio enforcing the laws of the land.

The Justice Department has been investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for alleged civil rights violations. Officials set the deadline following a meeting Tuesday with Arpaio’s attorneys in Washington.

The Department has outlined 51 requests for documents and information on how the Sheriff’s Office conducts traffic stops and searches, trains new recruits and treats prisoners held in county jails. Officials also asked for access to arrest records from Jan. 2008 and to interview officers and inmates at county facilities.

I’ll tell you how he treats his prisoners. He treats them like the animals that they are. Keep in mind that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has the lowest return rate of criminals to his jails in America. This would mean that he is doing something right.

All of this saber rattling by Obama is just another attack on Arizona and their ability to fight illegal immigration. This is a direct attempt by a sitting president to usurp the rights of the state of Arizona and should be treated as an act of treason by the great state of Arizona.

Here is a video of the accident at the California 200 in Lucerne, California. You see a bit of the carnage, but whats important here is to look at the spectators. Look at their proximity to the track. I can’t imagine racing in a truck . . . over jumps . . . having to worry about running over a bunch of morons on either side of the track.

From reports I have read, the organizers tell people to stay at least 50 feet from the course. I hope that these are paying customers and that the organizers have this information printed on the tickets.

As the video clearly shows, these people are literally making themselves human track markers. I don’t care what anyone says. Its the fault of the spectators, not the drivers that these people were killed or injured. JD

It goes without saying that proponents of illegal immigration into America will do or say anything to keep the takeover of America going. They want America to be a third world shitbox like the one the countries that they come from.

Don’t believe me? Take a trip into Pomona or Ontario. Pomona used to be like Hollywood east. Big bands used to play the local ballrooms and people would come from miles around to see the place.

Now Mission and Holt Avenues are nothing but used car lots, taco stands, pawn shops and liquor stores. Graffiti is everywhere. Crime is better today but is largely out of control.

Houses in South Pomona resemble housing in Mexico. Bars on every window. Security doors on every door. Homes are painted all of these crazy colors that look like someone vomited in Technicolor.

So when I hear this nonsense about how they come here looking for a better life, I call bullshit. These people refuse to assimilate. They refuse to speak English. They refuse to become part of the fabric that makes up America, that makes us all American.

This is what the proponents of illegal immigration can’t seem to understand. People are pissed off at them because they come to America to live but behave as if they are still in Mexico. JD

As Republican members of Congress press for changes to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, preventing automatic citizenship for babies born to illegal immigrants, opponents insist the debate is not really about babies.

Instead, they say it is about politics and votes – not fixing the immigration system.

Still, the debate could resonate in Texas, where not only 1.5 million illegal immigrants are estimated to reside but at least 60,000 babies are added to their households annually.

Parkland Memorial Hospital delivers more of those babies than any other hospital in the state. Last year at Parkland, 11,071 babies were born to women who were noncitizens, about 74 percent of total deliveries. Most of these women are believed to be in the country illegally.

State Rep. Rafael Anchía, D-Dallas, accused Republicans of using the births to generate an explosive election issue.

“They’re pulling the pin on the immigration grenade,” he said. “It’s all about the November elections and continuing to use the immigration issue as a wedge to win votes this fall.”

But to Republicans, the emerging national debate is long overdue, considering that millions of immigrants have been living illegally in this country for years.

“They’re violating our law, and we’re giving their children the benefit of U.S. citizenship,” said state Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, whose 2009 bill in the Legislature would have challenged the birthright of immigrant children.

That bill died in committee, although Berman has vowed to file another version next year that would prohibit the state from issuing birth certificates to the children of “illegal aliens.”

“I’ve checked the Congressional Record for when the 14th Amendment was written, and the author was quoted as saying that it did not apply to foreigners,” he said. “There’s no question in my mind about it.”

I guess the people that organized the “Sauna Championships” didn’t realize that meat begins to cook at 200 degrees. In the image below, you can clearly see that the man’s skin is burned off his body.

The contest is held in sauna’s that are turned up to 230 degrees. I would bet money that the one this guy was in was much hotter. Hot enough to burn the skin off his body.

A Russian finalist at the World Sauna Championships in Finland died Saturday and the event was suspended, according to the organizers, the AP reported.

Both of the events finalists — Russia’s Vladimir Ladyzhensky and Finland’s Timo Kaukonen — were rushed to the hospital after collapsing during the competition, in which contestants are made to endure temperatures of 230 degrees Fahrenheit (110 degrees Celsius) for as long as they can. Ladyzhensky later died.

The event, which has been held since 1999, was taking place in Heinola, Finland, which is 86 miles north of Helsinki.

While police have launched an investigation, the organizer of the event, Ossi Arvela, said in a statement: “All the rules were followed and there was enough first aid personnel. All the competitors needed to sign in to the competition with a doctor’s certificate.”

The Finnish news agency STT reported that both men suffered burns on their body and that the competition was cut short after six minutes, according to AFP.

Kaukonen had won the competition 5 times.

This is exactly why Americans are so pissed off about illegal immigration. The irony of the situation is that Mexicans just don’t get it. If you want to piss off Americans from all walks of life, run around waving the Mexican flag.

Its bad enough that we have to turn on the television and see 30 channels broadcast in Spanish, but to add insult to injury, Mexicans run around proclaiming the greatness of their corrupt and morally bankrupt country to anyone that will listen.

I have said it a million times and will say it again. If Mexico is such a great place, than why are you all here in America? If the United States were to give you back the south western region on America and make it a part of Mexico again, it would just become another corrupt part of Mexico.

What purpose would any of that serve the Mexicans that are here in America sucking off of the American teat?

If any of the above were to happen, the Mexicans that are here in America would have to move farther north to continue sucking off of the American teat.

If America were to give the land back to Mexico, the Mexicans here would be at a loss to figure out how to survive without the American tax payer footing the bill for their gigantic four wheel drive trucks and shanties in the ghetto.

So shut the hell up already. I have news for you idiots. Here in California, when an illegal alien commits a crime, they do jail time and then are promptly deported back to Mexico.

So all of your pissing and moaning and carrying on with your dopey flags are serving no purpose. Grow a brain and assimilate already like the rest of the immigrants of America that now call themselves AMERICANS!
