On this May 10, 2011, these things are being discussed: According to Jewish News Feeds, a writer on Twitter, the FBI released documents Monday that indicate the late George Steinbrenner was an FBI informant. I'm guessing that since it is released by the Obama administration it is supposed to be a bit of bad news about a life-long Republican. But Mr. Steinbrenner was not involved in foreign affairs or international intrigue. For the life of me, I cannot see the downside to a respected national leader talking with law enforcement officials if there was something he could add to their police duties. No one has suggested – to my knowledge – that there was any coercion involved. I don't see how this looks bad for Mr. Steinbrenner or his surviving family.
The Senate, by a vote of 56-42, has confirmed leftwing Judge Edward Chen, a former staff attorney at the ACLU, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Northern District of California...the fine folk like Colin Powell and the son of William F. Buckley, who followed their souls and voted for obama fail to realize that this is, in fact, what they are voting for. This, even as obama has requested that the GOP support his immigration policy. I can't wait to see how many in the GOP will follow their soul down that alley...in Iran, Mr. Ahmadinejad has opined that no international intervention is needed to quell the violence in Syria. I bet he does; Damascus today and Tehran tomorrow, in his view. But really, while we're on the subject, how is Syria any different than Libya?
In Washington, Colorado Springs Rep. Doug Lamborn, a member of the House Natural Resources Committee, said today that it was time for obama to put the Gulf of Mexico back to work and do whatever is necessary to increase American production of petroleum...well said, but who's fooling who? obama has stated that he is in favor of high gasoline prices, so long as the prices don't go up all that fast. Even when (if) the Gulf is reopened for drilling, production will be a fraction of what it was before the BP disaster because the oil companies - losing money hand over fist with rigs laying dormant - have packed up many of those rigs and sailed them to places like Brazil (where obama sends billions to increase their oil production) and Africa, where oil wells are being drilled daily. I'd like to ask one of obama's minions this question: when considering the overall environmental effect on the Earth, wouldn't it be far better if more drilling were done here - where environmental laws are the strictest on Earth - rather than South America and Africa, which have far more lax pollution standards and a third world need to produce products needed in the international economy at break-neck speed. I understand that uber leftists like obama think the big picture is better served with the United States a less ominous force on the international scene. But of the people who support him, don't at least a sizable portion see what is going on? With policies that allow for investment and grants to developing countries to do the same things he won't allow his own countrymen to do, how can you think otherwise? Now, I know that obama and his regime operatives say they have opened thousands of places for drilling. Real nincompoops buy into this without bothering to notice that nobody is interested in drilling in almost all of the places obama has opened because there is no oil there. There is an old saying that is very applicable to the upcoming 2012 elections: swindle me the first time, shame on you! Swindle me the second time, shame on me! The United States is the "me." The 2012 elections are the second time.
