What time is it? Uniting time!

Madame's latest post came in light of the RINO candidate dropping out of the Congressional race in New York. She praised Dede Scozzafaba for being "unselfish". It's time to cross the finish line to victory so that Doug Hoffman can get to work for New York and the country, Madame says. And she knows a thing or two about crossing the finish line. She reminded people about the issues before Congress such as health care "reform"and cap and tax. It is time for those moderate Republicans and conservatives to unite behind Mr. Hoffman.

Although it's a little late in the game, Fib Newton and Aw Schucksabee decided to hop on the bandwagon and endorse Hoffman as well. This is what uniting is, even if it is a little bit late. Madame put principles before politics; these gentlemen put politics before principles. In the meantime, Mittens Pomade is trying to remove some splinters that he's received from fence sitting on this issue.

The LOTUS wishes you all a happy Halloween, and I'm hoping for a nice, conservative post-Halloween treat on Tuesday.

GAME CHANGER?-UPDATED

Madame's latest Facebook post said Halloween day is going to be a "game changer" when it comes to the health care reform debate, and she urged everyone to tune into the GOP's weekly address. I couldn't tell if she used all caps in her post title because she accidentally hit my caps lock key or if she wanted to really, really emphasize her point. It doesn't really matter. Madame feels strongly about this!

I'm concerned for Anderson Cooper though. The phrase "game changer" can be used as a sports analogy. As we all know, Anderson Cooper doesn't understand sports analogies.

The softy southpaws' health care plans have mimicked board games as well, such as Monopoly, when they were considering proposing jail time for those who did not buy health insurance. Go directly to jail; do not pass go; do not collect $200! The bureaucracy of the softy southpaws plan is quite similar to a game of chute and ladders. Perhaps Congress will actually have ideas that aren't child's play! Hey, a LOTUS can dream; can't she?

She urged all Americans including Congress themselves to listen to John Boehner's address tomorrow. Madame says he is going to offer solutions. The softy southpaws have been whining that Republicans don't have any solutions, but Madame says they do. Am I going to be paying attention? You betcha!

UPDATED: Here is the address by John Boehner that Madame mentioned in her Facebook post:

WE LOST!

YES MY FELLOW AMERICANS, ONCE AGAIN WE TOOK IT UP THE BUTT!

Remember the blog I posted on Monday titled: "OBAMA TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 26, 2010"? Well, it was true, BUT, it now seems that California Judge David O. Carter has succumbed to pressure and possible threats from Obama's Justice Department, because yesterday he dismissed the case.

However, it appears that his decision paper was written by his NEWEST Law Clerk, Siddarth Velamoor, who was recently hired out of the VERY law firm that has been paid nearly $1.7 million to defend Obama in the case. Can you smell a rat?

Orly Taitz, the California attorney who was representing the plaintiffs, said that the judges decision paper looks like it was written by the defense, and she described the fight against Obama as being "very tough." Taitz said; "He (Obama) has more power than anybody, unlimited resources, and a lot to hide."

Halloween Drunk Driving

Halloween is one of the biggest evenings for drunk driving offenses.

If you choose to drive drunk, the United States Park Police would love to meet you!

We will offer you several hours of interesting conversation, introduction to some high tech devices such as breath testing equipment, some fascinating reading material including copies of citations, notices to appear in court, and driver’s license suspension forms, and of course conversation that will include discussions about how your future driving expenses will increase.

If you desire to stay with us for longer than our normal processing times, we can expand your experience by helping you pick a new wardrobe including such cutting edge fashions as orange jumpsuits, no belts, and shoes with no laces.

Our officers are very nice people, but you probably would not like to meet them under these conditions.

If you drive drunk and are arrested, you will face enormous fines, legal bills, possible jail time, sky high insurance premiums, and huge amounts of time in court.

That’s if you manage not to crash your car.

If you crash your car, add in the high cost of body and fender shop work.

If you crash your car and injure or kill someone, you will go to jail. You might lose everything you own or may own in the future.

Most importantly, you will live with the knowledge that you have destroyed many lives, your life, the life of the one you hurt or killed, and the family, friends, and co workers of that victim.

It can be avoided.

If you drink too much, get a sober friend or family member to bring you home. If you need, you can get a free taxi ride home in the Washington, DC area. To get a free ride home, call 1-800-200-TAXI (8294) or ATT Wireless customers dial #TAXI. This is a service provided by the Washington Regional Alcohol Program. They have details at www.wrap.org.

2009 Lincoln Presidency Cent Launch, Abraham Lincoln Bronze Medal

Some preliminary details for the launch ceremony for the fourth and final 2009 Lincoln Cent design are available via a recent Coin World article.

The ceremony will take place on November 12, 2009 at 10:00 AM ET. It will be held at the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial located at the base of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Further details of ceremony events and attendees have not yet been announced.

The fourth 2009 Lincoln Cent reverse design represents Lincoln's Presidency. A half completed view of the U.S. Capitol building is depicted, as designed by Susan Gamble and sculpted by Joseph Menna.

This year's Lincoln Cent launch ceremonies have been popular destinations for collectors and Lincoln enthusiasts. Based on the unofficial estimates from previous coverage, 1,500 people attended the first ceremony in Hodgenville, Kentucky and 3,000 people attended the second and third ceremonies held in Lincoln City, Indiana and Springfield, Illinois.

Previous ceremonies have been followed by coin exchanges where attendees are allowed to exchange currency for rolls of the new coins at face value. At the prior two ceremonies 20,000 rolls were exchanged. A minimum of two rolls and a maximum of six rolls were allowed for each pass at the exchange line. Details of the Washington D.C. coin exchange have not yet been announced.

On November 12, 2009 at 12:00 PM ET, the US Mint will also begin sales of the 2009 Lincoln Cent Two Roll Set for the Presidency design. Each set contains one 50-coin roll of Philadelphia coins and one 50-coin roll of Denver coins in custom US Mint wrappers. The sets are priced at $8.95 with an ordering limit of 5 sets per household.

Abraham Lincoln Bronze Medal

While browsing the Medals section of the US Mint's online catalog, I came across a current product that I thought might be of interest to readers.

The US Mint currently offers an Abraham Lincoln Bronze Medal as part of its Presidential Medals series. For each Presidential term, a medal is created featuring a portrait of the President on the obverse and inaugural dates, terms of office, presidential symbols and seals, or quotes on the reverse. Presidential medals are currently offered for recent Presidents as well as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
I am not sure how long the Lincoln Medal has been available, but I think the US Mint is missing an opportunity to highlight the product for Lincoln's bicentennial year. The obverse of the medal features Lincoln's portrait in profile. The reverse was designed by George T. Morgan and features an oak and laurel wreath with a spray of pine and cedar, circled by a serpent with its tail in its mouth. The reverse inscriptions read "Inaugurated President of the United States March 4, 1861. Second Term March 4, 1865. Assassinated April 14, 1865."

The 3 inch version of the medal is priced at $38.00. A smaller 1-1/2 inch version is priced at an affordable $3.50. The next time I place an order, I am planning to add one to my cart. You can find the Lincoln Medals at the bottom of this page.

Hoffman and the Power of "P"

Since Madame endorsed Doug Hoffman last week, it seems like a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon. To be fair, others including Fred Thompson, Michele Bachmann, and Dick Armey endorsed Doug Hoffman first, but Madame is clearly driving the bandwagon.

Tim Pawlenty, or as I like to call him the Minnesota Mullet, after claiming ignorance about the race decided to also endorse Hoffman after Madame did. Pawlenty, like his haircut, is just a little behind the times.

Texas Governor, Rick Perry, also decided to endorse Doug Hoffman. Now I don't want to get on his case too much. He and Madame are good friends, and he really appreciates Madame's support. He even said that regarding choices of support, " I think I'd stick with Sarah".

Madame is leading the way of the endorsement power play of Palin, Pawlenty, and Perry-- the power of "P". Hmm, that doesn't sound quite right.

There are a couple of fence sitters that I do feel the need to call out--Mittens Pomade and Aw Shucksabee. You may know them better as Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. They are choosing to not take a stand. I have to ask, gentlemen, isn't it painful to sit on the fence? Ouch!

Yep, as usual Madame is leading the pack,
out in front of the fence sitters.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY!

EVERYTHING TO LEFTIST MORALLY BANKRUPT LIPTARDS IS A JOKE!

SO-CALLED COMEDIAN, LARRY DAVID, URINATES ON PAINTING OF JESUS:

In the latest episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on HBO, co-called comedian Larry David, in his mockery of the Christian belief in miracles, went way over the edge, and HBO defended it as "playful".

On the show that aired this past Sunday, David pissed on a painting of Jesus Christ, while a woman became ecstatic, believing the painting depicted Jesus crying.

Could you imagine if this crap was done using symbols of Islam and Judaism? Or how about the uprising if I were to piss on a picture of the morally bankrupt, pedophile, fudge packer, Harvey Milk. When the hell is this crap going to stop? Why is society so damn willing to accept the degradation of all things Christian, when they would NEVER think of doing such a thing to Islamic or Judaic religion?

In a statement made to Foxnews.com, HBO downplayed the controversy saying:

"Anyone who follows 'CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM' knows that the show is full of parody and satire." They went on to say: "Larry David makes fun of everyone, most especially himself. The humor is always playful and certainly not malicious."

Hey you turds over at HBO, there is absolutely nothing playful or funny about mocking somebody's religious beliefs, especially a religion that does NOT go around sawing off the heads of non-believers or killing their wives or daughters and calling it an 'honor' killing.

So keep your apologies and just fire that asshole Larry David and tell him to piss on himself.



Thanks to Rep. Maxine (Castro loving) Waters, the House has pulled a funny on the American people. Waters led a vote that will give ACORN control over the regulation of financial institutions. This is friggin insane.

Remember all of the scandals, the voter registration fraud and the videos taken of ACORN works in several cities, who were more then willing to help a couple of undercover journalists break several federal laws?

The Waters amendment passed by a vote of 35-33. I strongly suggest that all those who voted for this act, be immediately tested for drugs and investigated for corruption.

The following are the Representatives from New York State (my home state) who voted in favor of this asinine piece of legislation:

GARY ACKERMAN - NY 5th District; GREGORY MEEKS - NY 6th District;
JERROLD NADLER - NY 8th District; NYDIA M. VELAZQUEZ - NY 12th District; CAROLYN MALONEY - NY 15th District; DANIEL MAFFIE - NY 25th District.

New Yorkers, rise up and vote these un-American fools out of office.

But it gets worse yet, remember that Congress voted to defund ACORN, and we thought it was permanent? Guess what? Obama and the Socialist Democratic Party plan to give ACORN back their funding. Americans should be outraged that Obama and the Democrats are rewarding ACORN for being an organized criminal organization, OOPS, I forgot, the work for Obama and the Democrat Party. Silly Me!

Now for those of you have the interest and curiosity to read Pelosi's version of Government Health Care:

2009 American Buffalo Gold Proof Coin

Today October 29, 2009 at 12:00 Noon ET, the 2009 American Gold Buffalo Proof Coins will go on sale at the United States Mint.
Only one ounce proof coins will be offered, which is a sharp reduction from the number of collectible Gold Buffalo options offered last year. Even this single offering had been in doubt until the US Mint's announcement earlier this month.

Each coin is minted in .9999 fine, 24-karat gold, packaged in a hardwood box with a matte finish and faux leather insert. The coins are priced at $1,360 each. There is no ordering limit or maximum mintage set for the product. These details (except for the price) were revealed last week.

There are a few dueling factors that will play into the initial sales levels for the coins. The pent up demand for this popular coin suggest strong opening sales. This is supported by the continuing brisk pace of sales for the bullion version of the coin that just went on sale October 15, 2009. In the past two weeks, the US Mint has already sold 110,500 coins. Additionally, since there are no ordering limits in place for the 2009 Proof Gold Buffalo, collectors and dealers will have the opportunity to order in quantity.

On the other hand, there are a few factors which may serve to diminish early demand for the coins. The current price of the coins may serve as a deterrent. The US Mint sets prices for numismatic gold products based on the average of the preceding week's London Fix gold prices. For the relevant period, the average is $1,050.28. Even though the current price of gold is $1,035 per ounce, the coins are priced based on the US Mint's $1,050 to $1,099.99 pricing tier. If the average price of gold had been 29 cents lower, the coins would have been priced $50 cheaper. Some collectors may delay purchases to see if the average price of gold allows cheaper purchases in the coming weeks.

A second factor which may diminish the pace of early and overall sales for the coin is the lack of a maximum mintage. As discussed previously, the fact that the US Mint is not placing household limits or a maximum mintage, suggest that they are prepared to supply the coins in whatever quantity the market will bear. The resulting high mintage from this scenario diminishes the longer term prospects for the coins, especially compared to the stand out performance of last year's collectible Gold Buffalo offerings.

Take Me out to the Ballgame: Obama Style

Tonight is the first game of the World Series between the Phillies and the Yankees. I'm not sure who Madame is cheering for, but I'm cheering for the Phillies. I think the designated hitter is for wimps.

I had a conversation with TOTUS tonight, and he told me that the Great Opologizer has his own special version of "Take Me out to the Ballgame" that he sings during the seventh inning stretch when he watches a game. Here are the lyrics:

Take me out to the ballgame.
Write about me Maureen Dowd.
I don't like bitter clinging rednecks.
I don't care if I ever use facts.
For I don't root for the "home team".
If they don't win, there's no shame.
For its 1,2,3 times a day I say Bush is to blame!

Now don't tell Madame that these are the President's lyrics. She won't be too happy. Now, final question: who would you rather have on your team?

Haaa, can't tax my marijuana!

Legalization/Taxation

The fight to legalize marijuana seems to be making major inroads as politicians, greedy for funds of any kind, find ways to get those tax revenues without a direct increase to the taxpayer. While there are some politicians have a more honorable reason for promoting the legalization of marijuana, there are many others who have no interest in the welfare of their own friends, family, and community; they're in it for the money.

At any rate, I could care less about their reasons for legalization. All I care about is that it get legalized.

However, what I do care about is how legalization takes place, particularly in the way of taxation, for now. I assume that quality control will be an issue in the future as I am sure companies like Altria, makers of smokable poison like Marlboro cigarettes, would find ways to weaponize marijuana as they did with tobacco.

But, I have a solution for all of that.

The problem with taxation are the high expectations for tax revenues. These politicians believe that the current pricing for marijuana will be stable. For them, that high cost equals high tax revenues. But, they don't recognize that these high costs are in part due to prohibition. Once prohibition is repealed, marijuana prices will drop considerably and those major tax revenues will drop with it.

This is why legalization is not a particularly great solution for the economy. And, here I am making that prospect even worse.

The reason I intend to make it worse is because there's a segment within the marijuana community that believe in absolutely no taxes for marijuana use. This is because they consider marijuana a medicine and you simply don't tax medicine. However, it stands in the way of legalization because it if we're to get it legalized for everybody, taxation has to be a reality.

Besides, medicinal users are already being taxed by having to pay upfront fees for licenses, doctors prescriptions, and the ability to grow if they are providers.

Side Note
I call that the Republican way to tax. See, Democrats tax you from the front so you see it coming - income tax, sales tax, etc. Republicans reduce face-front taxes. They just wait for you to turn around and bend over so they "tax" you up the behind with increased fees for anything you want to do. Democrats will rather tax your income to pay for roads. Republicans rather put tolls at every street intersection they can find. For example, in NYC, Mayor Bloomberg has sought to lower "face-front" taxes, yet proposed fees for entering the Manhattan below a certain street. Hey, you'll pay either way so just laugh about this now, think about it later.

The real issue is that medicinal marijuana users don't like the idea of being taxed at the rates proposed under complete legalization. It truly is their medicine and they shouldn't be taxed for it. And, let's be honest, those rates are incredibly ridiculous no matter who's paying. Not even alcohol or tobacco are taxed as heavily as what's proposed for marijuana. So, I don't blame people for getting upset.

Proposal

As a consumer, I propose that, under legalized and severely overtaxed marijuana, users, for whatever purpose, do not buy any marijuana until competition increases supply causing prices to come down and the tax rates are reasonable, at least within comparable levels with alcohol and tobacco.

The question at this point is how can this be done.

First of all, the politicians will do most of the work for this effort to be a success. By promoting prohibition level pricing, even after the repeal of prohibition, it wouldn't make sense for a marijuana grower to sell his product at wholesale prices when he can still operate and compete as though prohibition still exists. In fact, it can be considered as prohibition-plus since taxes are going to be a major factor. As a consumer, it would make sense to simply go directly to the grower and avoid any taxation whatsoever.

Side Note
While this may not be desirable, the politicians will have to learn a hard lesson here. It's not a lesson that wasn't already anticipated in history. During the repeal of alcohol prohibition, politicians, then, knew that the legal market would have to price-compete with the illegal market. Otherwise, it would be impossible to regulate and collect taxes. If today's politicians are too stupid to anticipate such competition and too arrogant to listen to the people, then they deserve to look like fools when their ridiculous taxation scheme doesn't produce the kind of tax revenues expected.

The second and most favorable method is self-reliance - grow your own marijuana. I am always promoting growing your own marijuana for personal use, so nothing new here. If marijuana is legal, who's going to come looking for you if you're growing a few ounces. Even though that marijuana is illegal, it's still safer because you completely remove yourself from law enforcement radar. You're not a Mexican drug cartel. You're not out trafficking bricks of marijuana. And, you're not out dealing on the streets. The only problems you may have is if smell gives you away or someone you tell decides to snitch on you. So, limit your exposure by investing in heavy odor control and not telling anyone.

Final Side Note
Personally, the only reason I would ever get caught is because of this blog or perhaps the few people that know about me. And, I know what I am doing by exposing myself. But, if I can motivate more people to grow their own, I can help limit the violence injected into the lives of peaceful people by careless drug dealers and aggressive law enforcement as well as reduce the profits of violent drug cartels that most law enforcement protect with their support of prohibition. It's worth it if I can save another life.

"Oh Deer."

“Please slow down, Deer.”

No, that comment is not directed towards the driver from his or her companion.

Deer are a hazard on all roads in the Washington Metropolitan area, but more especially in the fall. This is the Rut, or deer breeding season. Deer are very active and they tend to focus more on the next generation than on traffic safety!

The United States Park Police sees an increase in collisions with deer on all of our roadways. Clearly there are large numbers of deer on the Parkways outside of the city, but we see deer even in our downtown areas.

Some things to keep in mind while driving that can help prevent or mitigate deer collisions:

• Deer are especially active pre-dawn to mid-morning and dusk to early evening.

• Deer typically travel in herds. If you see one, likely more are around.

• Always drive the posted speed limit. This will give you more time to see deer in the roadway.

• Always wear your seat belt when in a vehicle. It is the law, but it clearly increases the survivability of any crash including those with deer.

• Watch for eye shine along roadsides. As you approach deer, often you will see the glimmer of their eyes.

• Be aware of posted “Deer Crossing” signs. These are placed in areas where many deer have typically been seen. No, the Police and wildlife management people have not trained the deer to cross in these areas, despite the jokes!

• Never swerve to avoid deer on the road. Our officers have seen instances where drivers have crashed into trees and ditches avoiding deer, resulting in injury.

If you strike a deer while driving on our roadways and need the assistance of the United States Park Police, please call us at (202) 610-7500.

Yet Another Type, Type, Send

Madame's latest post on Facebook came to her while watching some basketball. Then, she began to talk about the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. This is where she began to truly speak my language, "[t]here are big political races on the East Coast that are coming down to the wire - the results of which will impact policies and political actions that touch all of us in every state". Down to the wire-- that's something that an electronic device like me can really understand!

She also spoke about her rogueness, how she doesn't always agree with Republican political committees. She talked up the two Republicans running for Governor out East. She didn't even mention their opponents' names--a tactic she used in her endorsement of Doug Hoffman and in her RNC speech last year. Sneaky, very sneaky, Madame!

She closed by reminding us that this isn't just about doing what is right, right now. It is about doing what's right for future generation. She understands the whole Constitution-- that it is securing the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. This is good. I want America to continue to be great place for my future little LOTUSes!

ELITIST SCUM BAGS WANT US TO STOP EATING MEAT!

NOW THE ELITIST SCUM BAGS WANT US TO STOP EATING MEAT!

I have often said in the past, to keep your eye on England because what happens there will eventually come here to the U.S.

According to Lord Stern, Britain's Climate Chief (Her Majesty the Queen's version of Al Gore), we must give up eating meat to save the earth.

Stern said: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases (cow flatulence). It puts an enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better."

Lord Stern, the author of the influential 2006 Stern Review on the cost of tackling global warming, said that a successful deal at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December would lead to soaring costs for meat and meat products and other foods that generate large quantities of greenhouse gases. Did you understand what he is really saying? If you can't get people to voluntarily become vegetarians, then make the cost of meat and meat products so high that only the elites will be able to afford it. How much do you want to bet that someone in the Obama Administration suggests this same crap for America, then all of the mindless Democrats will jump on it like flies on poop?

The good Lord Stern has predicted that people's attitudes would evolve until meat eating became unacceptable (sure, if you start brainwashing the hell out of the school children). He said; "I think it is important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating." He went on to say; "I am sixty-one now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student (what the hell does that have to do with a a nice prime rib dinner?). People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food" (maybe the brain dead leftist moon bats will, but us normal folks will just ask "How does it taste?")

He also issued a clear message to Obama that he MUST attend the meeting in Copenhagen in person for an effective deal to be reached. U.S. leadership, he said, was "desperately needed" to secure a deal. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, who the hell died and made these people god?


You can read the whole thing by clicking on the "click here" button.





Of course, you do realize that if the leftist shitheads managed to prevent us from enjoying a good steak, nice piece of fried chicken, homemade beef stew or chili con carne, foot-long hot dog, etc., the next thing they will ban will be beans, cabbage and broccoli because those foods produce gas and we will be polluting the air with our smelly farts. So no more Boston Baked Beans, sauerkraut, Pigs-in-a-Blanket, Corned Beef & Cabbage, etc.

Where the hell will this madness end? I swear, the leftist retards must stay up all night figuring out what they can prevent us from doing, eating, and wearing, and how to go about banning them.

I am now so very close to the point of chucking my collar and cassock, grabbing a damn gun and starting the damn revolution myself, because this crap has gotten too far out of hand.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is soon approaching! In the past, Madame has dressed as Tiny Fea for Halloween. Oh, did my typographical dyslexia kick in again? I'm not sure what her plans are this year. I can't wait to see what Piper and Trig are dressing up as this year. They were so cute when they dressed up around Halloween at a rally last year!



Hmm, I'd better decide what I'm going to dress up for Halloween soon too!?! I could go for something creative like dressing up as TOTUS! Another option would be to dress up as someone scary like Nancy Pelosi! I don't know about that though; it may scare Trig and Piper too much!

As I was surfing around today, I ran across an interesting poll at US News and World Report. The results are shown below as of about 7:30 P.M. Alaska time.

Who do you think is more likely to hand out the best Halloween candy?

1. 66.47% Sarah Palin
2. 1.78% Rudy Giuliani
3. 10.39% Michelle Obama
4. 14.54% Hillary Clinton
5. 6.82% Joe Biden

Madame would definitely hand out better candy than Michelle Obama and Joe Biden; that's for sure. FLOTUS would probably hand out arugula to people visiting the White House. Joe Biden would probably hand out something that may cause foot-in-mouth disease. I wish I could help hand out candy, but I don't have hands! It makes me so sad!

Happy Halloween!

OBAMA JURY TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR JAN 26, 2009

FLASH -- FLASH --FLASH!

United States District Court Judge David O. Carter Case #SACV09-0082 DOC (ANx) Captain Pamela Barnett, Et. Al. v Barack Hussein Obama, Et. Al.

Date: October the 5th, 2009 Motion to dismiss this case: Motion Denied, Set for Trial.

Affirmed: A fore mentioned Court Now Orders the Following Dates to be Made Final:

1. Motion for Summary Judgment, November 16, 2009;

2. Opposition for Summary Judgment, November 26, 2009;

3. Reply to Motion for Summary Judgment, November 30, 2009;

4. Final Pretrial Conference, January 11, 2010, at 8:30 a.m.;

5. Jury Trial, January 26, 2010, at 8:30 a.m.

The above titled case in the matter of Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility to hold the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America will proceed to trial as outlined above. U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter posted his adjudication. There was a motion to dismiss put forward by the attorneys representing the Justice Department and Barack Hussein Obama, the motion was denied.

The case as to Mr. Obama's eligibility shall now proceed toward trial. This includes, but is not limited to:

Articles of Discovery wherein all matters pertaining to Barack Obama's Birth Certificate, College Transcripts, Employment Records, Housing and Residence, Passports, etc. shall be subpoenaed and ordered to be brought forward for review.

This is great news. The decision by this U.S. District Judge is profound on several levels. I highly doubt that the government controlled MSM will have any reference to this ruling or the actions pertaining to this case.

There is a clock ticking, and I can't help but believe Obama, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid know that there is a clock ticking. Not only in the matter of Obama's Constitutional legitimacy for the office he currently holds, but also because WE THE PEOPLE are waking up to the reality our country is being taken away and recast in a mold that runs counter to the Founding Father's vision, our Heritage and Culture, and the Rule of Law our Nation has stood on from its inception.

The above information comes from:

Mr. Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. Protective Intelligence Specialist and Agent Consultant at Behavioral Analysis and Threat Assessment Independent Intelligence Analyst and Licensed Private Investigator ASIS-Phoenix Chapter Membership Chair.

"Hey Lady, if Obummer is kicked out, maybe we can host a block party or something to celebrate."

Obama Declares National Emergency over Swine Flu Pandemic. BUT WHY?

Why did the pig jump off the Empire State Building?
Because he heard on the news that Swine Flu!


Obama Declares National Emergency over Swine Flu Pandemic. BUT WHY?


According to the CDC, swine flu infections have already peaked, and the pandemic is on its way out. Peak infection time was the middle of October, where one in five U.S. children experienced the flu, says the CDC.

Even though the H1N1 pandemic appears to have peaked out, Obama has now declared a national emergency over swine flu infections. What is the reasoning behind this declaration? According to the White House, it is designed to "allow hospitals to better handle the surge in patients" by allowing them to bypass certain federal laws.

Well, that may be the public explanation for this, but the real agenda behind this declaration may be far more sinister, especially since Obama will be leaving for Copenhagen at the beginning of December, to sign the U.N. Treaty on Climate Change, which will in effect sign away our national sovereignty to a global government. By declaring a national emergency immediately gives federal authorities dangerous new powers that can now be enforced at "gunpoint" including:

A. The power to force mandatory swine flu vaccinations on the entire population;

B. The power to arrest, quarantine or "involuntarily transport" anyone who refuses a swine flu vaccination;

C. The power to quarantine an entire city and halt all travel in or out of that city;

D. The power to enter any home or business without a search warrant and order the destruction of any belongings or buildings deemed to be a threat to public health;

E. The effective nullification of the Bill of Rights. Your right to due process, to being safe from government search and seizure, and to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination are all null and void under a Presidential declaration of a national emergency.

Of course, none of this means that federal agents are going to march door-to-door arresting people at gunpoint if they refuse the vaccine, but they could if they wanted to. Your rights as an American are no longer recognized under this national emergency declaration.

If you ask me, this declaration of a national emergency seems very suspicious to me. Where exactly is the emergency? The number of people killed by swine flu in the U.S. is far smaller than the number of people killed each year from the seasonal flu. It is obvious that people aren't dropping dead by the millions from H1N1. Most people are just getting mild symptoms.

At best, Obama's declaration is a flimsy attempt to scare people into taking the toxic soft kill vaccination. We can only hope and pray that this is the case. Remember, Rahm Emanuel and Hillary Clinton both said that we (the government) should never let a good crisis go to waste. Stay alert folks, God only knows what is really in Obama's mind.

Fib Newton is crying!

I spent some time today on Youtube, and I have some clips to share with you.

Today, Newt Gingrich, or as like to call him Fib Newton, was on Fox and Friends where they asked him about his support for a RINO instead of a conservative in the race for NY's 23rd district Congressional seat.Check it out starting at the 2:00 mark; it includes some satirical closed captioning:



I don't have anything much to say except that I didn't know he would be so whiny about the fact that Madame and some others are supporting a conservative instead of a RINO. However, while I was on Youtube, I did find a song that encapsulates what RINOs and even some non-RINO Republicans think when Madame goes rogue on the Republican party.

Madame 45 the Huntress

It is a well known fact that Madame is a huntress. She can take down a caribou or a moose with the best of them. In fact, Field and Stream Magazine called her a hero. Sadly, I'm not allowed to go with her or the rest of the family when they go hunting. It's too cold, and they don't want me to malfunction.

I must let you know that Madame is also a huntress in the metaphorical sense, too. She not only hunts caribou and moose; she sometimes hunts donkeys and RINOs. One day she just may hunt the gators that infest the sewers and swamplands that infest Washington D.C.. This week, she decided that she was going to do a little RINO hunting when she endorsed conservative candidate Doug Hoffman on Thursday. Madame isn't against Rs, but she really doesn't like it when they act like RINOs. Just like she said on Thursday:

Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share: smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty.

Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of "blurring the lines" between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections. Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party's ticket. (emphasis LOTUS)

Now I don't know if you can make chili out of RINOs or if Madame simply wants to mount the RINO on the wall, but she certainly wants them to act like conservatives. Back in August of 2008, Madame had this to say, " The GOP needs to live the planks of its platform, not just offer lip service. " I don't know if Madame will return to electoral donkey hunting after doing some RINO hunting, but if she does, she certainly knows what to do.

FALL OF THE REPUBLIC - (FULL VERSION)

Its Back!

FALL OF THE REPUBLIC - (FULL VERSION)

This is an absolute MUST see video and I urge you all to make the time to view it. Since it is a long video, I am going to leave it up for a couple of days.

After you have viewed this entire video, then I would like you each to sit and give real serious thought about what you have seen and heard and then tell me that we should not rise up in an armed revolt NOW while we still have a country to save. I am NOT calling for lip service, I am calling for REAL, SERIOUS action.

By now, it should be obvious to everyone that neither the Congress, Obama or the U.S. Supreme Court are ever going to listen to WE THE PEOPLE, no matter who we elect, especially since they are still working on pushing a government health care on to the American people despite all of the Town Hall meetings, Tea Party protests and the march on Washington. It is now time to tear this rogue government down, put all present members of Congress, Obama and every member of his administration on trial, if not for treason then at least for CRIMES against the Constitution and people of the United States. For massive usurpation of power, for violations of their oaths of office and for malfeasance of duty.

We NO LONGER HAVE TIME, we MUST act before Obama heads off to Copenhagen, because it WILL be too late afterward.

US Mint News Updates

There are a number of US Mint related news items that I wanted to cover before the weekend. I will do a combined post on the topics which include sold out products, an update to the Braille Education Set offering, Girl Scout coins, and a technical amended for the 2009 Lincoln Cent.

Sold Out Coins

Two products have sold out at the US Mint. The first is the Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set. Although the set had received orders for the maximum 50,000 sets by the second day of sales, ordering options remained open for anyone wanted to be placed on a waiting list. Orders would be fulfilled from the waiting list only in the event of cancellations. The sets officially moved to "sold out" status yesterday. Many readers have also been indicating that they have received their sets.

Earlier in the week, the Martin Van Buren Direct Ship Dollars were sold out. These dollars were available for for purchase in boxes of $250 at face value with no charge for shipping. Martin Van Buren Dollars were added to the Direct Ship Program in September. Coins are offered through this program to encourage circulation of dollar coins. Other Presidents and the Native American Dollars remain available.

Braille Education Set

The US Mint lifted the ordering limit in place for the Braille Education Set. The sets went on sale October 8, 2009 with an initial ordering limit of one set per household. In the first week the set sold 2,719 units. The second week marked faster pace of sales to bring the total to 5,996 units. The set is limited to a maximum production of 25,000.

Girl Scouts Silver Dollars

H.R. 621: The Girl Scouts USA Centennial Commemorative Coin Act has passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate. In order to become law, the bill needs to be signed by the President, which is expected to take place soon.

The bill calls for up to 350,000 silver dollar commemorative coins to be produced and issued during the calendar year beginning January 1, 2013. The design would be emblematic of the centennial of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. A Boy Scouts commemorative silver dollar was previously approved for release in 2010.

2009 Lincoln Cents

Besides authorizing a new commemorative coin program for 2013, the H.R. 621 also contained an interesting technical amendment related to the 2009 Lincoln Cents:

(a) Continued Issuance of Certain Commemorative Coins Minted in 2009- Notwithstanding sections 303 and 304 of the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 (31 U.S.C. 5112 note), the Secretary of the Treasury may continue to issue numismatic items that contain 1-cent coins minted in 2009 after December 31, 2009, until not later than June 30, 2010.

The issuance of 2009 Lincoln Cents with a composition matching the original 1909 Lincoln Cent was authorized under Public Law 109-145. The law specifically states the coins shall be issued "in 2009."

This authorization has been used to produce 95% copper versions of the 2009 Lincoln Cents for inclusion in 2009 Proof Sets and 2009 Mint Sets. Most years, the US Mint's annual sets are available into the following year. Without this amendment, it seems that the US Mint would have had to cut off sales at year-end, since the Lincoln Cents contained in the sets were only authorized to be issued in 2009. Someone must have realized this and made sure the technical amendment above made it into the bill.

BARACK OBAMA'S FLYING CIRCUS

Well, those of us who still have a sane mind all see Barack Hussein Obama a cult of personality, an empty shell of a man who requires constant praise and adulation to keep him from pouting and pooping on the rug.

Some of us also see him as a bigamist. He is married to Mobama (Michelle) and to his long-time partner, his teleprompter. But, have you ever wondered what the Russian's really think of Barack? Well, for those of you may be interested, you can find out by clicking on the PRAVDA link:

Madame Chooses Principles over Politics

Madame posted a new kind of note on Facebook today. We didn't work on any health care reform or energy independence posts this time. Today, Madame took the time to type a promise--a promise she made when she stepped aside from the Governor's office. Upon announcing that she was resigning the governorship, Madame had this to say:

And there is such a need to BUILD up and FIGHT for our state and our country. I choose to FIGHT for it! And I'll work hard for others who still believe in free enterprise and smaller government; strong national security for our country and support for our troops; energy independence; and for those who will protect freedom and equality and LIFE... I'll work for and campaign for those PROUD to be American, and those who are INSPIRED by our ideals and won't deride them.

I WILL support others who seek to serve, in or out of office, for the RIGHT reasons, and I don't care what party they're in or no party at all. Inside Alaska - or Outside Alaska.

Today, Madame gave her endorsement of Conservative party candidate, Doug Hoffman, who is running for Congress in New York. In her usual style, Madame called it like she sees it. She's about principles, not politics or party. She echoed President Reagan and call for no "blurring of lines" of lines between party lines:

And best of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.

Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share: smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty.

....
Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race.

Is Madame doing some RINO hunting in preparation for some donkey hunting in a few years? Madame is all about putting the smack down on both the softy southpaws and RINOs!



As Time Magazine called her, Madame "is a walking middle finger to the BosNYWash élite". I should know; Madame's fingers walk on me all of the time!

2009 Gold Buffalo Proof Coins

The US Mint has released information on the upcoming 2009 Proof Gold Buffalo coins. The coins will be available starting on October 29, 2009 at 12:00 Noon ET.

As known previously, only a single one ounce proof version of the coin will be offered. Last year, the US Mint had offered fractional versions of the coin (1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz) and a full line of collectible uncirculated coins (1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz). These products had been announced as discontinued in late 2008.

The one ounce 2009 Proof Gold Buffalo coins are struck in 24 karat gold. The obverse and reverse designs are based on the original 1913 Type I Buffalo Nickel by James Earle Fraser. The coins are minted at the West Point Mint and carry the "W" mint mark.

The price of the coin will be based on the tables available for the United States Mint's numismatic gold products. If the average weekly price of gold remains within the current range of $1,050 to $1,099.99, then the coins will be priced at $1,360.00 each.

The biggest revelation about the offering is that there will be no household ordering limits and no maximum mintage.

Yesterday when examining the bullion coin offering, I had stated that this would be key to the longer term prospects of the 2009 Proof Gold Buffalo. With unrestricted ordering and mintage, presumably for the next two months, the final mintage should easily exceed the low levels of 2008.

Undoubtedly this will be a popular offering, and the coin will be cherished by many collectors, but I don't think there will be a repeat of the incredible price appreciation experienced for last year's coins. The one ounce 2008 Proof Gold Buffalo currently sell for $2,600 or more on the secondary market.

A JPG Is Worth a Thousand Words: The Sequel

A while back, I decided to do a JPG centered post rather than a text centered post. After all, a JPG is worth a worth a thousand words. As Madame had me help in posting some kick butt Facebook posts at the end of last week and over the weekend, I'm still a bit tired. I decided to mix things up a little bit, and I've posted part 2 of " A JPG is Worth a Thousand Words".

2009 Gold Buffalo Bullion Coins

Although the proof version of the coin won't be released until October 29, the bullion version of the 2009 Gold Buffalo coin has been available since October 15.

Because this is a bullion coin, it is not offered for sale directly by the United States Mint. Rather the coins are distributed through the US Mint's network of authorized purchasers. The AP's purchase the coins directly and then resell to other dealers and the public.

The most recent information available from the US Mint indicates that 79,500 of the 2009 Gold Buffalo bullion coins have already been sold. Monthly sales have not been at this level since the heavy demand experienced when the coins debuted in 2006. For all of 2008 (amidst a few suspensions), the US Mint had sold 172,000 coins.

The numbers show that there is a very high level of pent up demand for Gold Buffalo coins. Until recently, the coins had been unavailable for nearly a year. The fact that they are finally being offered near the end of the year also seems to have created the impression that they will only be available in limited numbers. If another strong week of sales follows, the mintage of the 2009 Gold Buffalo might end up exceeding some of the prior year mintages.

The strong sales also suggest that the US Mint might not be having the same sourcing problems for 24 karat gold blanks, or they have at least acquired a significant supply. I have not heard any indication that the 2009 Gold Buffalo bullion coins are subject to rationing, so apparently the US Mint is comfortable that they can meet unrestricted demand from the public.

I think that the incredibly strong bullion sales figures have some implications for the 2009 Proof Gold Buffalo.

When the 2009 Proof Gold Buffalo is released (tentatively) on October 29, 2009, there will definitely be a rush to order. As with the bullion coins, the pent up demand and impression of limited availability will have people ordering early and, if possible, heavily.

The key question is: How many proof coins will the US Mint produce? Unless a stated maximum mintage is provided, I think the number could be significant. Rather than risk another public relations black eye, the US Mint might produce the coins in high quantities to ensure that any collector who to purchase the coin has ample opportunity to do so. This is contingent on the supply of blanks, which as mentioned, might not be an issue for 24 karat gold coins.

If the total number of 2009 Proof Gold Buffalo coins greatly exceeds the mintage for the prior year, secondary market potential would be curtailed. While the coin is undeniably beautiful and will be heavily collected, for now I would be wary of anticipating big gains. I mentioned this possibility in this prior post, and the new information on bullion sales lends it some further support.

Once more information is available from the US Mint on the 2009 Proof Gold Buffalo coins, I will have it posted here, along with any reevaluation of the situation.
