ONE IN TWELVE BIRTHS ARE TO ILLEGALS
Jeffrey Passel a senior demographer based in DC claims illegal immigrants now make up 4% of our population, but that 4% now accounts for one in twelve births. The United States is slowly but surely being taken over. How do politicians react? They see it as an opportunity to pander for the Hispanic vote. The City of Bell has always been a poor municipality on the outskirts of Los Angeles filled with poverty stricken legal and illegal Hispanic residents. Eventually Bell was taken over by its “new” voters and is a grand example of where this country will head if we don’t close the floodgates. We are in a big enough mess as it is and unless we take heed of how Arizonans have approached the problem then there is little chance America will retain its quality of life for much longer.
Illiteracy and poverty must be tackled where it originates, not where the poor and illiterate escape to. When demographics change, it is all about our living our standards moving to the lowest common denominator. It is no longer about waiting for the second generation to make their mark. That stopped when the middle class was decimated to become the working poor. All we are creating is more millions more who need to feed off the welfare system in order to survive. There are no good jobs now or into the immediate future awaiting young Americans and that is especially so for the poor and thinly educated.
First world countries led by Japan are suffering from zero population growth with an aging population. China, with its one child policy has stunted its population growth. Third world countries and people of third world origin continue breeding like “rabbits” posing all sorts of problems for their own countries and for those they emigrate to. If we continue to bury our heads in the sand we can only look forward to more social and economic chaos. Little wonder those idiots behind the Tea Party continue to keep the momentum moving forward with their radical approach to our most vexing issues. Soon there will be no middle ground in keeping a lid on things. Total lawlessness and anarchy could be our future if politicians keep their blinkers on.
WE NEED NUCLEAR/NATURAL GAS POWER STATIONS – NOT WIND OR SOLAR
Every time I drive to Palm Desert and pass through that valley about thirty miles west of Palm Springs in view of those thousands of windmills, I can’t help but think to myself what a blight on the horizon those ugly-ass contraptions are producing electricity for a just handful of people. The same can be directed at solar panels too. I see nothing attractive whatsoever about having our countryside filled with windmills and solar panels. Although both products were originally American inventions and American-made, the American companies have long since transferred the manufacturing over to China. President Obama, because of his green energy policy, has handed billions of stimulus dollars over to these corporations to fulfill his dream of ridding America of its dependence upon foreign oil. The only thing is most of the stimulus dollars are lining the pockets of China and the U.S. corporations’ coffers. Barely a few hundred lowly paid installation jobs will be created. Big deal. Apart from this, it is all lose-lose for America.
Over the last thirty years huge strides have been made in nuclear energy research. The U.S. navy operates with a nuclear-powered fleet without incident. Our aircraft carriers can go to sea for thirty years without having to refuel and here we are on land mucking around with an expensive technology of solar and wind power generation. The country is awash with cheap natural gas. Isn’t there any way to design and build natural gas power stations that can be converted to nuclear energy should natural gas becomes a dwindling commodity. Everything that goes into a power generation plant will be 100% American; all the components plus the labor. Now that is a good deal.
There is no question government policy on deep sea drilling, because the BP Gulf of Mexico, disaster will soon change the face of the oil industry. Oil companies would now be better off reinventing themselves. BP is in trouble with its Russian partnership, (Putin wants them out) and it needs to sever its ties with some of their sub-contractors; especially Transocean and Halliburton. If the company had a half a brain, it would buy up one or two players in the nuclear energy field. Once we are rid of those lunes in the Obama Administration and as soon as we have some real leadership in the country, our ridiculous policies on energy will change. Nuclear power/natural gas plants could quickly become the base for all our electricity needs. We can even start dismantling most of our hydro-stations. Just imagine letting the Colorado River go back to just being a river again!
BAD BEHAVIOR CONTINUES TO BE REWARDED
Hewlett-Packard, until it appointed Carly Fiorina its Chairman/CEO at the turn of the century, had a long and great history as an innovator and leader in the high technology industry. Under Fiorina, Wall Street was able to influence and manipulate H.P., which led it down the road of disaster. Finally she was exposed as a fraud and the board was able to dump her in 2005. Another woman, Patty Dunn was appointed Chairwoman and she too quickly fell on her sword. Fortunately the last five years have been very settled under the leadership of Mark Hurd as H.P. regained number one position in the supply of computer hardware. That is until his roving eye caught the attention of a “hot” looking babe, a contractor to the firm.
Hurd, had worked hard for H.P. to regain respect “back on the Street” and at fifty-three was in a very cozy situation with the company firing on all its cylinders. Instead of kicking back and enjoying some of the fruits of his rewards, he chose to spice up his personal life. Obviously he was a little bored with Mom and the kids at home and thought it was time to do a little trading up in the sexual activity department. Generally men of Mark’s age and power tend to look at women up to thirty years their junior (grand example; former G.E. chief, Jack Welch who at almost seventy traded in his sixty plus year old missus for a physically attractive forty-year-old journalist) but not Mark. He chose a woman just three years younger than himself. Sure, the former bit-part Hollywood actor made Mark’s missus look like a frumpy old soccer mom, but he never counted on her becoming a first class bitch like the typically scorned twenty plus year-old. They are experts at getting their own back by spilling the beans on an illicit relationship, when the big shot sexual partner tries to break it off.
Mark had grown to believe he actually walked on water. His board thought he was a great guy and so did the investment community. He had stood on a platform of righteousness and told the world he practiced what he preached. The world, including his wife, placed him in the “top bloke” category. That was until Jodie Fisher threatened that the real Mark Hurd should stand up. Mark did his best to pay her off but it unfortunately it was obviously below the numbers she was looking at for a deal. Last week he admitted his behavior fell short of the standards he had demanded of others and therefore it was only appropriate that he tendered his resignation. This was quickly and happily accepted by his board. Instead of moving out in disgrace with his tail planted firmly between his legs, he was rewarded with a golden parachute of tens of $millions. I still cannot understand why bad behavior in public and business-life at the top continues to be rewarded, never condemned and handled accordingly. If I were the Chairman of H.P., his contract would have been ripped up on the spot and he would have been thrown out on his ear with nothing.
CIVILIAN VOLUNTEERS; GET OUT OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN
I have always admired volunteers who when disasters occur in far off lands are on the first flights out to help the afflicted. I am in awe of highly compensated professionals, who drop everything to offer their services free and without conditions and work tirelessly for weeks on end with little sleep making a huge difference to all those suffering from injury and the devastation of losing so much. What I can’t understand are those do-gooders, who are not interested in being involved in a Haiti/New Orleans situation, but will go and park themselves in war zones tending to the sick and infirmed amongst the enemy. Just a week ago ten volunteers lost their lives to the Taliban, in a remote area of Afghanistan. The reason for the slayings was they were spies for the Americans. Afghanistan has remained in the dark ages principally due to its religious practices and ongoing civil wars longer than Great Britain has been a democracy.
In America, we have millions in need of charitable help. We have the hopelessly poor, the sick, the elderly, the mentally ill all suffering from the changes in social structure/order and the ravages of this recession. The welfare umbrella that once existed to keep Americans above the poverty line has long since disappeared. There are millions of American children who need corrective surgery and today go without. Yet some Afghan child, a victim of the civil war, if the volunteers can’t repair them on site arrive in this country courtesy of Uncle Sam, to take up a hospital bed that an American child should have, and $millions will be spent on that Afghan’s rehabilitation. It just doesn’t seem fair or right that the influence of do-gooders should be that strong.
As much as I feel for the families of the ten lost ones in Afghanistan, I am having real difficulty in understanding why they exposed themselves to so much risk, when in every third world corner of the globe the fruits of their expertise would be so appreciated. How about starting in the thousands of third world towns we now have in America. A small ex coal mining town in Kentucky with 80% unemployment and in need of doctors and dentists would put out the red carpet and fete the arrival of volunteers to help them out. They would not be murdered in cold blood in the main street in return for their generosity of spirit. I have said it many times before; charity begins at home. I feel sorry for all people on this earth worse off than me, but I am sick and tired of reading the losses of civilians who are hell bent on going into war torn regions, where at the end of the day they actually make nuisances of themselves with the local warring factions virtually to the point they can lose their own lives. What a waste.
