This story just keeps getting more weird

With unemployment at 9.1% and 14 million people out of work the country needs more jobs right? What does this administration do? Try to close down the new Boeing plant in SC. Now it looks like it wants to get rid of jobs at Gibson. In the meantime DOL Hilda Solis is doing television commercials informing illegals they have a right to a fair wage!

In an attempt to bullshit America she tries to smooooothe it over with the phrase "whether documented or not."

Sounds so much... "more fitting" ..then illegal.

Gibson: Feds Want Guitar Woodwork Done by Foreign Labor

Gibson Guitar Corp. is claiming the Obama administration wants more of its woodwork done overseas, as a bizarre battle heats up between the government and one of the country's most renowned guitar makers.

The dispute started in 2009, when federal agents raided the company over suspect wood shipments from Madagascar. Gibson took that case to court but has denounced the administration with a vengeance after agents returned late last month to raid several Gibson factories -- this time out of concern that Indian export laws had been violated.

Though some reports on the dispute have cited environmental concerns, court documents suggest the latest battle boils down to a simple, non-environmental question -- which country is working on the wood?

Gibson's CEO has said repeatedly that the only reason his company is in trouble is because U.S. workers are completing work on guitar fingerboards in the United States. In an interview earlier this week, CEO Henry Juszkiewicz claimed that the U.S. government even suggested Gibson's troubles would disappear if the company used foreign labor.

The Justice Department is hamstrung from talking about the case because it's an ongoing investigation. Justice spokesman Wyn Hornbuckle told FoxNews.com only that agents were looking for evidence of "possible violations" of a law governing imports of plants and wildlife.

Hornbuckle also confirmed that no charges have yet been filed in either of the two cases.

Court documents help explain the root of the tree dispute. According to search warrants associated with the latest raid, federal agents in June intercepted a shipment of Indian ebony apparently bound for Gibson in Tennessee. The documents noted that Indian law "prohibits the export of sawn wood," which can be used for fingerboards -- but does not prohibit the export of "veneers," which are sheets of woods that have already been worked on.

The search warrants alleged that the intercepted shipment was "falsely declared" as veneer, something that would have been legal. However, the documents said the ebony was in fact unfinished "sawn wood," supposedly illegal.

This led to the raid on Gibson facilities late last month.

Juszkiewicz said in a statement that the U.S. government has effectively suggested "that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department's interpretation of a law in India."

A representative at the Indian Embassy in Washington could not be reached for comment.

But Juszkiewicz has since claimed that his company's wood exports do in fact comply with Indian law, even if American workers are doing some of the work.

In an interview on the company website, Juszkiewicz said Gibson "for decades" has purchased fingerboard wood that is two-thirds finished.

"The fact that American workers are completing the work in the United States makes it illegal," he said, citing the government's position.

Juszkiewicz maintains Gibson is still complying with the law.

The Ant vs. The Grasshopper

On a tip from Keith Grant

  

The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER 

This one is a little different.....Two Different Versions .....

There are Different Morals 

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and 

laying up supplies for the winter. 

The grasshopper 

thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. 

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, 

so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:

Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house

and laying up supplies for the winter. 

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering

grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving. 

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC 

show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with 

a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.. 

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is  allowed to suffer so? 

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah

with the grasshopper  and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green..'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing,We shall overcome.

Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright 

has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake. 

President Obama condemns the ant 

and blames  President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the

grasshopper's plight. 

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid   exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has

gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, 

and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. 

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act

retroactive to the beginning of  the summer. 

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number  of green bugs and, 

having  nothing left to  pay his retroactive 

taxes, his home is confiscated by the  Government  Green Czar 

and given  to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading  friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's  food while the government house he is  in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it. 

The ant has  disappeared in the snow, 

never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found  dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now  abandoned, is taken over  by a gang of  spiders  who terrorize and ramshackle, the once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood. 

The entire Nation collapses

 bringing the rest 

of the free world with it. 

MORAL OF THE STORY: 

Be careful how you vote in 2012

The Ant vs. The Grasshopper

Remember the song... Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

On a tip from ED KILBANE

Not in this case. 

This is the second relative of Obama's caught living in the United States illegally.

This was the first

In this Nov. 24, 2009, photo, President Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, gives an interview in her home in Boston. A U.S. immigration court has granted her asylum allowing her to stay in the country, her attorneys announced Monday, May 17, 2010, in Cleveland.

Zeituni Onyango  (Obama's aunt)  came to America illegally in 2000 and was ordered by a judge deported in 2004 but miraculously since this story came to light she can now live in the United States. For an additional kick in the teeth she has been living on welfare and Section 8 housing. So not only is she here illegally, we the taxpayers, are paying to support her!

Nice coat, handbag, cane, wheelchair...Oh...and is that two gold rings or three?
Welfare must be paying pretty good.

This is the second relative

No lie he actually said this.






Onyango Obama (his first name is Obama's aunt's last name?) was arrested last week in Massachusetts for DWI. He is Obama's uncle who also happens to be here illegally. In 2000 he was  evicted from his $500 a month apartment for not paying the rent. So he also is collecting welfare checks and Section 8. 


The president refers in his memoir "Dreams from My Father," about retracing his roots and his 1988 trip to Kenya, to an Uncle Omar. 


In "Dreams from My Father," the president mentions photographs of his Uncle Omar, "the uncle who had left for America twenty-five years ago and had never come back." He also discusses a Kenyan expression about getting lost, meaning to not see someone in a while or to move away and stop communicating with relatives — "like our Uncle Omar, in Boston."


 Like with everything Obama says and does you have to read between the lines. "Left for America" means he came here illegally something he conveniently left out. When "Omar" came here he promptly changed his name. Something the Obama clan has a propensity for.


Getting back to the two out of three ain't bad. Since two of his relatives are here illegally would he be a far stretch to speculate about  his own legality? A life shrouded in secrecy. A simple form such as birth certificate held under lock and key until Trump forced the issue. Is what he displayed his real birth certificate? I honestly don't know. 


I do know one thing. This guy is hiding something.




BTW the fools who voted for Obama wondering why he filed lawsuits against AL and AZ for trying to enforce the federal immigration laws no longer have to wonder. We're supposed to entrust Obama to defend and protect our border, when his own f------relatives are here illegally!    


 Talk about the fox watching the chicken coop.

Obama uncle held in US by immigration officials

By DENISE LAVOIE, AP Legal Affairs Writer – 15 hours ago

FRAMINGHAM, Massachusetts (AP) — President Barack Obama's uncle was stopped on suspicion of drunken driving, told police he planned to arrange bail through the White House and was being held without bail on an immigration detainer, authorities said Monday.

Onyango Obama was arrested last week in Framingham, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Boston, after police said he made a rolling stop through a stop sign and nearly caused a cruiser to strike his sport utility vehicle.

Police said that after being booked at the police station, Obama was asked whether he wanted to make a telephone call to arrange for bail.

"I think I will call the White House," he stated, according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court.

Police said Obama, who's originally from Kenya and is the half-brother of the president's late father, pleaded not guilty Friday and was being held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a court document, ICE said he had an earlier deportation or removal order.

His immigration status couldn't immediately be confirmed, but such orders are generally reserved for people living in the country illegally.

An immigration detainer, used by ICE to identify people in jail or prison who could be deported, is a request to another law enforcement agency to notify ICE before releasing the person from custody so ICE can arrange to take over custody.

A spokesman for ICE declined to comment on Obama's immigration case, and the White House had no comment.

The president refers in his memoir "Dreams from My Father," about retracing his roots and his 1988 trip to Kenya, to an Uncle Omar, who matches Obama's background and has the same date of birth.

Obama, 67, was charged with operating under the influence of alcohol, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and failure to yield the right of way.

Michael Rogers, a spokesman for Cleveland immigration attorney Margaret Wong, said Wong will represent Obama. He confirmed that Obama is the half-brother of the president's father and the brother of another relative, the president's aunt Zeituni Onyango, of Boston.

Onyango made headlines last year when she won the right to stay in the United States after an earlier deportation order. She came to the U.S. from Kenya in 2000 and was denied asylum by an immigration judge in 2004.

She stayed in the country illegally and was granted asylum last year by a judge who found she could be a target in Kenya not only for those who oppose the U.S. and the president but also for members of the Kenyan government.

In "Dreams from My Father," the president mentions photographs of his Uncle Omar, "the uncle who had left for America twenty-five years ago and had never come back." He also discusses a Kenyan expression about getting lost, meaning to not see someone in a while or to move away and stop communicating with relatives — "like our Uncle Omar, in Boston."

Framingham police said Obama was arrested Wednesday after he failed to stop completely at a stop sign and a police officer had to quickly apply his brakes to avoid hitting Obama's sport utility vehicle.

Officer Val Krishtal said in a written report that Obama slurred his speech and became argumentative after he was told that he was being stopped because he had failed to fully stop and yield to traffic.

"I explained to him that I narrowly avoided striking his vehicle, and he told me that he did not hear my tires screeching so I was not being accurate," Krishtal said in the report.

Obama originally told Krishtal he had nothing to drink but later said he had had two beers, Krishtal wrote in the report.

Krishtal said Obama failed several sobriety tests and blew a reading of 0.14 percent on a blood-alcohol breath test, which is above the state's legal driving limit of 0.08 percent.

The president's administration announced this month that it would allow many illegal immigrants facing deportation the chance to stay in the U.S. and apply for work permits and would focus on removing convicted criminals and people who might be national security or public safety threats.

Naturally the White House had no comment on this latest development.

Remember the song... Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Alarming article from USA Today

Minority babies almost the majority

Only 50.2% of babies under age 1 are white and not Hispanic, according to the 2010 Census — a sharp decline from 57.6% just 10 years earlier.

"We are almost at a minority-majority infant population," says Brookings Institution demographer William Frey, who analyzed the latest Census data. "We probably have passed it since the Census was taken" in April 2010.

• STORY: Census tracks 20 years of sweeping change

  
  

The number of states where minority babies dominate has doubled to 14 since 2000. The balance has tipped in big states such as New York, Florida, New Jersey and Georgia.

Minorities have been the majority in Texas and California nurseries for more than two decades. In Texas, the majority of people under age 47 are minorities, in California, under 52.

Steady growth in the number of young U.S. Hispanics who have more children than whites is shrinking the ranks of non-Hispanic whites.

The shift is dramatic in states such as Florida and Nevada, where whites are in the minority among those younger than 38. A decade earlier, whites were the majority in all age groups in Florida and in Nevada, among all those above age 3.

In rural areas, the number of white children declined by more than 1 million or almost 10% from 2000 to 2010, says Kenneth Johnson, demographer at the University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institute.

The number of young white women of child-bearing age is declining while there is an increase in minority women of child-bearing age, Johnson says.

In Georgia's Whitfield County, home of Dalton, the "Carpet Capital of the World," more than 59% of infants were minorities in 2010 compared with 38.4% in 2000.

The area's floor-covering industry has attracted so many Hispanics that the North Georgia Health District, based in Dalton, has brought in translators and prints materials in Spanish, says Jennifer King, public information officer.

The nationwide changes are redefining who is a minority and who is not.

"These little babies … by the time they get to be in their 20s and 30s, the current racial and ethnic categories … won't have anything close to the meaning that (they have) today," Frey says. "When they think about white majority, it'll be something in the history books."

This story was front page news in USA Today. There is no mention in the article the total of illegals "anchor babies" born here each year but I'm sure it is considerable. 

When the government turns a blind eye in order to grab votes for the politicians without looking at the long term consequences to a problem festering for decades, when they sue Arizona and Alabama for trying to protect their border, systemically the end result becomes the annihilation of the white race  in the United States. 

 

I see it all around me. Some will email me and call me a racist. My response is this. We have now reached the point where the government...repeat..government has been so accommodating we are about to hand this country over to the very illegals that broke our laws. If that is racism then I am a racist.

When the 14th amendment was enacted I'm sure the intention was not to give illegals a place to squat and drop thereby becoming American citizens.

The sad thing. The county as we know it is disappearing before our very eyes,

 invaded by foreigners, and no one seems to give a damn.

Dear Ms. Pelosi:

I write to you out of utter disdain! You are as despicable and un-American as the traitor Jane Fonda.

I am a soon to be 65 year-old who has voted in every state and local election since 1966. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats alike. I have worked on campaigns for both Republicans and Democrats, white and black. I served the country that I love in Vietnam, as my son did in the Middle East. I was awarded two bronze stars. I have been involved in politics since age 6 when my father was campaign manager for a truly great American Congressman, Charles Raper Jonas, who worked for his constituents and his country, and was to be admired, unlike you.

You obviously havent read the Constitution recently, if ever, the Federalist Papers, or even David McCulloughs book on John Adams. You ought to take the time while riding around in your government provided luxury executive jet to do just that. You represent Socialistic and even Marxist principals that our founding fathers tried to avoid when setting out the capitalistic republican form of government represented by our Constitution.

 I find it interesting that you and your husband are multi-millionaires with much of your fortune being made as a result of your public service. You have controlled legislation that has enhanced your husbands investments both on and off shore. At the same time you redistributed the wealth of others. Our system of a free market economy is being destroyed by the likes of you, Harry Reid, and now our President. You ride around in a Gulfstream airplane at the tax payers expense while criticizing the presidents of companies who produced something for the economy. You add nothing to the economy of the United States; you only subtract therefrom. 

I would like to suggest that you return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts and eat your husbands canned tuna and pineapple produced by illegal immigrants and by workers who have been excluded from the protection that 90% of the legal workers in the United States have.

I await your defeat in the next election with glee.

 Dont ever use the term un-American again for protesters who love this country and are exercising their rights upon which this country was founded. By the way, while I served in the Army, I was spit on by the same type of lunatics who support you and who you probably supported in the 60s and 70s. You are an embarrassment to all of us who served so that you would have the protected right of free speech to call us un-American. But at the same time, I have the right to write you to notify you that I consider you to be un-American, as do the majority of the people of this formerly great country. You are a true disgrace to most of the people who served this country by offering themselves for public service in the United States Congress.

 

I feel certain your aides will not share this letter with you, but I intend to share it with many.

Let's help this man fulfill his 'commitment' to Pelosi

by forwarding his thoughts to everyone in your address book!

This would have gotten me a visit from the Secret Service
