[The Hill] Rep. Comrade Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has established a legal defense fund to pay for any expenses associated with her full-throttled battle against ethics charges that she used her position to help a bank in which her husband owned stock.
Waters filed paperwork with the ethics committee to form the fund in late August. Her office did not comment about whether she had already held fundraisers to help fill the fund's coffers or has events planned.

I would love to know who, if anyone, donated to this "Fund".
Might provide the names of her accomplices.

Maxipad Waters is one of the most racist, corrupt member of Congress. Has been for years.
She doth protest too much.
She better realize that after November 3rd it's going to be a whole new ball game with even criminal charges going to be leveled against her.
She better wise up, end the denial and understand it's gonna get much worse for her.
Being Negro will be severely out of fashion after this next election.
Believe it.

[WSJ] The U.S. economy has shed jobs for three straight months, though the losses in August were about half the 110,000 predicted by economists in a Dow Jones Newswires survey.
The unemployment rate, calculated using a separate household survey, edged up to 9.6%, as expected, after holding at 9.5% for previous two months.
The report is likely to cause renewed debate during the long Labor Day weekend over what new steps the Federal Reserve and Congress should consider to jump-start the job market. Asking themselves "How is this going to make us more competitive?" every time they consider a measure would be a good start. But the pols "debating" aren't real fond of business that's not located on Wall Street.

Quick more money to the public sector unions and politician's relatives! That'll fix things! This time for sure.

Want to solve unemployment and illegal immigration and out of control public sector slaries and pensions?
Cut the size of the public sector work force by 30% at all levels of government, cut the remaining workers pay by 25%, and put a cap on public sector salaries of $50,000 per year regardless of what they do. And limit public sector pensions to $50,000 per year. At the same time, limit unemployment to 12 weeks.
The out of work people resulting can take the jobs illegals do now. No demand for Mexicans, they go back to Mexico. Americans working. Public sector size and cost reset to reasonable level. Three problems solved.

Somehow Obummer spun this into the economy is headed in the right direction. That would be only if you are trying to take it down!
#5
Obama just said that if it wasn't for him, things would be worse. That he had stopped the bleeding, didn't mention that another 54,000 jobs were lost. Worst President in the History of America.
#6
How bout this? Deactivate the EPA, department oif transportation, the department of education, the department of energy, all the czars, half of congressional staff, all congressional military flight, and that racist department in charge of making sure reverse discrimination happens while suing the state of Arizona for enforcing federal law.
Put a mortorium on ALL earmarks until 2030, repeal obama care, enact fair tax, and repeal anything any democrat enacted for the last 60 years.
Yeah, 60 years.
I solved 1/4th of the problem in that screed alone.

To paraphrase what others have said, the Republic can survive a fool as president, but it cannot survive with a significant portion of the population foolish enough to elect such a president.
I'm more worried about that 42% than I am the idiot in the Oval Office.
#8
I still can't believe 42% of people are still that stupid and blind to think Bambi is still a good president. I just came back from a long road trip. I believe that 42% is still influential, and I am worried about them. Any country stupid enough to elect Obama once (and to put up with the biggest theft/fraud ring in the history of the world) is stupid enough to re-elect him.
#10
He was only elected with 51% So his ratings are down 9%. He lost the independand and some of the center dems. He has not lost his hard core left at all. We must take the house and senate and then go after his left leaning base.

After his firat year he stayed at or below 50%. This reads to me the independents are moving away from him as well as a few of the conservative dems. For these to really mean anything other than this nations is still firmly divided along party lines we have to see him dip into the mid 30's. My take he is doing fine in the polls as far as supporting his party is concerned.

President Obama signed an Executive Order promulgating the 2010 changes to the Manual for Courts-Martial on August 31, 2010. The covering document is on the White House website, but the text of the changes is still neither there nor on the Federal Register and DoD websites as of 10:45 a.m., Sept. 2, 2010. The amendments take effect on September 30, 2010. I can imagine why there might be some trepidation.

King Obama. So the question remains, will the military brass protect the constitution or their careers? Seems like the boys may have to choose.

Before we speculate too much we should see what the changes are. I assume there's a procedure for doing this and the White House is following SOP. If not, then there's a problem.

While I don't put Bambi past fucking anything up, I am wanting to wait to see before I pass judgment. A lot of the terminology needed changing with the new deployments and tactics so it may just be a simple update.
However, knowing what Bambi's ego is like, I can see him putting his own "brand" on the changes and fucking shit up completely.

That's nice, but.....Article I, Section 8, reads -
The Congress shall have Power...
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
One of the issues King Charles lost his head over whether he or Parliament had that power. The writers of the Constitution made sure that little issue was written into the document so that no 'misunderstanding' could occur again.
[Yahoo] It's true that Obama remains generally popular in the state, but his approval rating has dipped to 49 percent, according to the most recent University of Wisconsin Badger poll -- a drop of 11 points since last winter. That's a higher approval rating than in other key battleground states this fall, but it's unclear at this point whether Obama's standing would hurt or help Feingold, who is virtually tied in the polls with his GOP opponent, businessman Ron Johnson.
Johnson has gained in the polls by trashing Feingold's votes on Obama-led agenda items like health care reform and last year's federal stimulus bill. And he has proved to be a serious financial challenger. In July and most of August, Johnson outraised Feingold, reporting $1.2 million in contributions, compared with the incumbent Dem's $900,000. Feingold had more cash in the bank earlier this summer -- but Johnson has readily dipped into his own cash reserves to bridge that gap, loaning his campaign more than $4.4 million, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Craig Gilbert.

I think it is becoming abundantly clear that Bambi's coat tails are a liability. I love watching the Dems implode and turn on each other.
C'mon November 2010 - 2012.

Drudge is reporting that Pelosi and the donks are planning a "firewall" to prevent a trunk takeover of the house. No details, so I'm a bit at a loss how they plan to do that. But, in the NYT, you have a political party hypothetically plotting to subvert the coming will of the people? If true, can there be a better proof of the Limbaugh assertion that our politicos have evolved into a "ruling class" with a self opinion that lets them feel free to try and subvert the will of the electorate? Somewhere along this line of reasoning doen't malfeasance in office and treason become reality?
[USA Today] This afternoon, the first family heads to Camp David. But the president won't have the whole long weekend there. On Monday, it's Milwaukee for Laborfest, an annual event put on by the AFL-CIO. He'll also travel to Cleveland next week, on Wednesdsay, to talk about the economy.
On Friday, he'll have a press conference at the White House, his first solo session with reporters since his May news conference on the BP oil spill.

Me, I'm happy he distances himself from another attempt to force Israel to cut its own throat Israeli-Palestinian Peace talks.

between Martha's Vineyard, he's put in a rambling unconvincing Oval Office speech, a couple Booosh-bashing campaign speeches, a couple meetings and rounds of golf, a lying economy speech, then he needs a vacation at Camp David. Gee, destroying a country is hard work

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
