The Americans with No Abilities Act (ANAA)
(aka - No Fool Left Behind)
Today President Barack Obama and the Democratic Senate signed into law sweeping legislation that will provide new benefits for many more Americans. The Americans with No Abilities Act is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.
"Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society," said California Sen. Barbara Boxer. "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability (POI) to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing."
In a Capitol Hill press conference, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record of hiring Persons with No Ability (63 percent).
Under the Americans with No Abilities Act, more than 25 million mid-level positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.
Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of Inability (POI) into middle-management positions, and give a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.
Finally, the Americans with No Abilities Act contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, "Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?"
"As a non-abled person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them," said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Mich., due to her inability to remember righty tighty, lefty loosey. "This new law should be real good for people like me. I'll finally have job security." With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Said Sen. Dick Durbin, II: "As a senator with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation and a good salary for doing so."
This message was approved by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama.

Texas, 16 other states sue to stop Obama amnesty
There was furor by the bucket full before Barry decreed amnesty. After he did seemingly no one batted an eye... until now. I am hopeful a lot of other states jump on the bandwagon. Maybe we could ultimately get 25 to 30. That said, how long will it be before a decision is rendered? Judging by the last line in this article it doesn't look promising. To put it in perspective should it go to the SC ObamaCare was signed into law March 2010 and the SC did not rule it Constitutional until June 2012 by a 5-4 decision. Unless Barry passes another executive order he'll be out of office.
A few days ago in yet another blowup he said this, 'He took an action to change the law.' His administration has chalked this one up to "he was speaking colloquially." How much more lying bullshit can this country tolerate?

Seventeen states and governors sued the Homeland Security Department on Wednesday in a bid to halt President Obama's new deportation amnesty, saying he violated the Constitution and broke federal laws by granting tentative legal status to millions of illegal immigrants.
"This lawsuit is not about immigration. It is about the rule of law, presidential power and the structural limits of the U.S. Constitution," the governors said in a 75-page complaint, filed in federal district court in Texas.
The governors said they have standing to sue because they and their state taxpayers will be left on the hook for expenses related to schooling, health care and police to handle the extra illegal immigrants who will now have federal permission to stay in the U.S., despite having no permanent lawful status.
And the plaintiffs carefully chose the court where they filed their challenge, selecting Brownsville, Texas, where a judge last year wrote a scathing rebuke of the Homeland Security Department for aiding human smugglers.
Mr. Obama's unilateral immigration action, announced Nov. 20, would grant tentative status and work permits to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants, and would remove many others from any danger of deportation — though they would not have the same legal status as those officially granted the amnesty.
The policy has proved controversial, and Republicans in Congress are searching for ways to try to block Mr. Obama from following through on his plans.
GOP-led states, meanwhile, had vowed to go to the courts. Wednesday's lawsuit was led by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.
The lawsuit repeatedly uses Mr. Obama's own words against him, pointing to the nearly two-dozen times he said he didn't have the power to take the actions he took.
I can't do it but then I did.
The brain dead behind him applaud and rejoice in loosing their liberty.

And in one critical attack, the lawsuit points to Mr. Obama's own claim last week that he "took an action to change the law."
"In this case, the president admitted that he 'took an action to change the law.' The defendants could hardly contend otherwise because a deferred action program with an acceptance rate that rounds to 100 percent is a de facto entitlement — one that even the president and OLC previously admitted would require a change to the law," the challengers said in their complaint.
At the White House on Tuesday, press secretary Josh Earnest tried to walk back Mr. Obama's law-changing comment, saying the president was trying to speak to the level of his audience in Chicago at the time.
"I think he was speaking colloquially," Mr. Earnest said.
(They have his ass covered for everything don't they? So what was he speaking when he said, "You can keep your insurance period, no matter what"?)
(They have his ass covered for everything don't they? So what was he speaking when he said, "You can keep your insurance period, no matter what"?)
The spokesman went on to say that while the president didn't change the law, his actions did change the way the law affects millions of people. "I think that's what the president was alluding to," Mr. Earnest said.
Legal analysts have heatedly debated whether Mr. Obama's actions are legal, with the Justice Department saying while it's the biggest claim of prosecutorial discretion in history, the same moves were done on a smaller scale by previous Republican presidents.
However it's not even clear the courts will take the case. Judges have routinely rejected challenges to presidential actions by finding that plaintiffs can't show a specific injury, and thus don't have standing to sue.

Texas, 16 other states sue to stop Obama amnesty
Ferguson... the perfect head fake
As a nation we are just consumed by the tragic loss of Michael Brown and the canonization of our beloved St Swisher.
Then Barry grants illegal amnesty and no one bats an eye.
Meanwhile no one takes notice of this little triviality.
(Gotta love the last line)

U.S. DEBT HITS $18,000,000,000,000.00
U.S. debt has now surpassed $18 trillion.
Under President Barack Obama, America's debt has skyrocketed 70%.
On the day Obama took office, January 21, 2009, Zero Hedge reports U.S. debt stood at $10.625 trillion. The national debt cleared $18 trillion for the first time on Black Friday.
In March, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that the Obama U.S. debt explosion would result in interest payments on U.S. debt quadrupling by 2024 to a stratospheric $880 billion a year, a sum 105 times bigger than the FBI's budget.
Still, Obama contends his economic policies have been a boon to America.
"By every economic measure, we are better off now than when I took office," said Obama in October.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Remember Barry in 2008. The debt was $10.6 trillion. Nothing to brag about.

Mayor, police say race played no role in hammer slaying of Bosnian immigrant
On a tip from Ed Kilbane
You wouldn't know by the title of this article this took place less than 20 miles from Ferguson. Compare the reporting in this case with the Michael Brown storyline.
A few excerpts:
"investigators do not believe race played a role in the bludgeoning death of a Bosnian immigrant early Sunday"
"detectives do not believe Begic’s Bosnian heritage or the color of his skin served as a motive in any way"
“We think it was wrong place, wrong time”
(((WOW)))
What a change in the narrative!
Wilson was found guilty until proven innocent.
Sharpton, Jackson, Barry and Stedman are directly responsible for this and you won’t here a fucking peep out of any one of them!
This makes me sick. Just as nauseating are stupid ass white people touting signs supporting Brown. What will these idiots do now Begic was beaten to death by blacks? I’m sure they can count on the full support of their black brethren.

Interesting... no robbery took place, it wasn't racially motivated, and more then one hammer was used to beat Begic to death. I got it. They were on their way to carpentry school and suddenly felt a compulsion to hammer somebody.
Headline… had Begic happened to be carrying a Glock 40:
White male kills four unarmed black youths

UPDATED at 4:25 p.m. with charges and to correct marital status of Zemir Begic.
ST. LOUIS • A 17-year-old St. Louis man has been charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the bludgeoning death of a Bosnian immigrant.
Police say Robert Mitchell along with two other teens, both juveniles, attacked the 32-year-old man with hammers early Sunday. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. Mitchell and one of the juveniles are black and the other teen is Hispanic, according to police.
A police spokeswoman said investigators do not believe race played a role in the bludgeoning death of a Bosnian immigrant early Sunday, but declined to say what authorities believe is the motive in the killing.
Many at the scene of the murder near Gravois Avenue and Itaska Street speculated that the four men who beat Zemir Begic, 32, to death with hammers targeted him because of his Bosnian descent.
But detectives do not believe Begic’s Bosnian heritage or the color of his skin served as a motive in any way, police spokeswoman Schron Jackson said.
Witnesses told police that the victim and the suspect exchanged some words as Begic was walking past them on the way to his car, Jackson said.
Someone then hit Begic’s car with something or kicked it, and Begic stopped his car, got out and exchanged words with the suspects once more. That’s when he was attacked, Jackson said.
“We think it was wrong place, wrong time,” Jackson said.
Homicide detectives do not believe the suspects took anything from the victim during the attack.
Jackson said Chief Sam Dotson noted that none of the suspects appear to have anything in their criminal backgrounds to suggest they would do something of this magnitude.
Dotson said more than one hammer was used in the killing, but he would not say how many.
Police arrested two suspects, ages 15 and 16 Sunday. Mitchell turned himself in to police Sunday night. Detectives believe they know who the fourth suspect is, but have not yet made an arrest, Jackson said.
Earlier story:
St. Louis Bosnians outraged about a deadly hammer attack in the city’s Bevo Mill neighborhood spilled into the streets Sunday night to voice frustrations over violence touching their community.
“We’re just angry because we’re trying to protect our community,” said Mirza Nukic, 29, of St. Louis. “We’re just trying to be peaceful.”
Nukic was among at least 50 people, mostly, if not all Bosnians, who briefly blocked Gravois Avenue at Itaska Street on Sunday night to protest the killing. The intersection was near where Zemir Begic, a Bosnian man who moved to St. Louis this year, was attacked by at least three teens with hammers early Sunday.
Police said Begic was in his vehicle about 1:15 a.m. in the 4200 block of Itaska when several juveniles approached and began damaging his car. Police said Begic got out to confront the juveniles, who began yelling at him and hitting him with hammers.
Begic, 32, who lived in the 4200 block of Miami Street, suffered injuries to his head, abdomen, face and mouth. He died at St. Louis University Hospital.
Some of the demonstrators recalled other recent Bosnian victims of violence, including Haris Gogic, 19, who was fatally shot in May 2013 by a robber in his family’s Bevo Mill convenience store.
St. Louis police Chief Sam Dotson spoke with residents at the street protest Sunday night. He said he was sorry about what happened and sought to reassure people the killing did not appear motivated by race or ethnicity.
“There is no indication that the gentleman last night was targeted because he was Bosnian,” Dotson said. “There’s no indication that they knew each other.”
Dotson said Sunday evening that police have two male juveniles, ages 15 and 16, in custody. A third male, 17, was taken into custody late Sunday night.
Dotson also promised to increase day and night foot patrols in the area.
“The whole idea of standing out in the street is to get our attention,” Dotson told residents. “You got my attention. You absolutely did.”
Suad Nuranjkovic, 49, who attended Sunday night’s protest, said he and Begic were heading home from a bar on Gravois Avenue. Begic was driving and Nuranjkovic was in the passenger seat when a group of at least five teens started banging on the car. Nuranjkovic said he got out of the car and hid in a parking lot across the street during the attack.
“I was afraid that if one of them had a gun, they were going to shoot me, so I didn’t know what to do,” he said.
Nuranjkovic said the attack has made him fearful to live in his own neighborhood.
“The picture is in my head, what I saw,” he said. “I don’t know why this is happening to Bosnians. We could go around and shoot people, too, but we just want peace.”
Seldin Dzananovic, 24, said the teens with the hammers approached him farther north on Gravois about an hour before the attack on Begic. He said he was able to fight them off, suffering only cuts to his hands and neck.
“I’m just lucky,” he said. “God is on my side.”
Begic and his family came to the United States from Bosnia in 1996, moving first to Utica, N.Y., before settling in Waterloo, Iowa, said his sister, Denisa Begic. She said he moved to Phoenix, where he worked as a moving truck driver before returning briefly to Iowa. He moved to St. Louis several months ago and was engaged to a woman, Arijana, whose family lives in St. Louis.
Singing was one of his passions, and he often performed in public.
“He loved America,” said Denisa Begic, 23, of Sioux Falls, S.D. “We come from Bosnia because we were getting killed and our homes and families were getting destroyed. Never in my life did I think he would get murdered.”
She said she knows some Bosnians are upset over her brother’s death because they believe the suspects, who are black and Hispanic, targeted Begic because he was Bosnian. She said she wants people to know her brother would not have judged them because of their race; he had friends of many racial and ethnic backgrounds.
“He loved everybody,” she said. “I don’t know what to think of it. It’s so wrong what they did. They didn’t just hurt Zemir’s family. They also hurt their own family because I’m pretty sure their moms will never see them again.”
Denisa Begic said her brother’s funeral would be in Iowa, and that a fundraising site has been set up to help with funeral expenses.
“I hope justice is served for my brother because he didn’t deserve this at all,” she said.
