In a move that the Mexican government itself couldn’t have imagined, the [...]]]> I’ve said before that remedies for discrimination usually involve discrimination against someone or something else to rectify the problem. I couldn’t have come up with a better example if I’d made it up. Don’t look for any content of your character here.

In a move that the Mexican government itself couldn’t have imagined, the feds, courtesy of the Department of Education are launching an investigation regarding allegations the the Los Angeles Unified School District violated the civil rights of English language learners. You heard that right, the LAUSD is going to be hammered for not pandering enough to illegal alien students-at the expense of everybody else.

Citing poor test scores of blacks and Latinos, the DOE suspects that not enough resources are being diverted away from whites and Asians to bring the former up to speed. Funny, it was they who included blacks as English learners.

Federal analysts will review how English learners are identified and when they are judged fluent enough to handle regular course work. They’ll examine whether English learners have qualified, appropriately trained teachers. And they’ll look at how teachers make math and science understandable for students with limited English.

What if they aren’t fluent enough? If they can’t speak English, then it’s up to the parents (many of who do not speak English either) to get those kids in an English immersion class so they can handle regular course work. It isn’t the responsibility for the LAUSD to educate Mexican children. And lets face it folks, this is L.A.; that’s exactly who we’re talking about. And what do they mean when they say make math and science understandable? That’s code for dumb it down. Barry can talk about education and math and science all he wants. This is what he’s actually doing about it.

The DOE is targeting schools on the West side of the San Fernando Valley. Anyone who lives in the area knows that the East side is mostly Latino, and what whites and Asians are left in the valley tend to be on the West side. Those are the schools they’re going after. Those are the ones with the biggest disparity in success rates between races. Yes, it’s all about la raza.What they’re looking to do is divert resources away from kids that actually can speak English and divert them to the illegal alien kids. And who’s civil rights are being violated there? As it is, English speaking kids are forced to slow down and hang back while the slower English learners try to catch up.

And if the dropout numbers are any indicator, they tend not to catch up. But those aren’t just English learners. Latinos and blacks (sorry, if you’re from Africa my apologies, but most black Americans are not) as a whole have a high dropout rate, English or no English. How do they explain that?

I remember Bill O’Reilly had a guest on his show and they discussed this very issue, but it was regarding the black community. According to his guest, to fly right and do well in school was tantamount to acting white, and the peer pressure to be just the opposite was a prime reason for the high dropout rates in the black community. That may be the case among Latinos as well, but there is the language factor. I remember seeing an interview with Fernando Valenzuela, the former Dodger great, who as a player, didn’t speak English. He now calls games for the Dodger’s Spanish audience, but now, he does speak English. When asked how long it took him learn the language, he said about a year. I’m sure he wasn’t a Rhodes scholar by then but he did speak the language. The illegal alien kids can’t take a year out and learn the language? Better yet, they can’t go home to their native country and get an education there, and do some good for their country?

No. Instead, border crossers dump their kids into Americans schools and expect the United States to not only educate the kids, but pay for to boot.

The LAUSD is about to layoff another 4000 employees. Surely teachers will be in that mix. What resources do they have to teach non-English speaking kids? The official numbers are about 1/3 are in this category, but anyone living here knows that the number of English deficient kids in the LAUSD is much higher. They just don’t have the resources to pander to them. And we’re talking about the most welcoming defacto Mexican school district in the country. If they can’t do it, imagine the rest of the country. Make no mistake about it; the LAUSD sucks, but the feds are focusing on ramping up the crown jewel of their self-destruction.

They better find a way to keep it going though. 1/4 of their budget comes from the Feds and they risk it all if they don’t steal from Peter to pay Paul. LAUSD, a corrupt, poorly run defacto Mexican district is in flames, and this just might finish them off. If you have kids in school, don’t get too comfortable. If the feds can pull this on the LAUSD, imagine what they can do in a town near you. Another stake going in the ground in preparation for the amnesty wave.

They call him Lindsey grahamnesty Graham, a champion of open borders to the point that he was willing to tell us bigots, [...]]]> We need to clean all the riff-raff out in November. That includes RINO’s who have the gall to consider themselves conservative. If you think John McCain is a Democrat in disguise, meet Lindsey Graham.

They call him Lindsey grahamnesty Graham, a champion of open borders to the point that he was willing to tell us bigots, who wanted something as crazy as border security and no amnesty to shut up. Of course he was speaking to his pals from the National Council of La Raza, one of the most racist, anti-American groups being funded by our tax dollars today. They’re all right with Graham though. In fact, he’s so on board with the amnesty agenda, that Barack Obama himself has asked him and another open borders goon, Chuck Shumer on the Democrat side, to come up with amnesty legislation to ram down the throats of America, in much the same fashion as the health care bill. Well, we know that Obamacare has nothing to do with health care and everything to do with taking control of a huge chunk of the economy, and we also know that amnesty has nothing to do with bringing illegal aliens out of the shadows and everything to do with erasing the borders, and thus, the United States. Graham would be happy to help.

The house already has H.R. 4321, an all encompassing amnesty, that not only grants citizenship to every law breaker that ever crossed the border, but guts immigration enforcement to the point where there would be no real need for the border patrol. There would realistically be no border under Gutierrez’ bill. Not doubt Graham and Schumer would come up with something similar. Remember, Schumer is one of the architects of the 1986 amnesty disaster that not only was riddled with fraud, but accelerated illegal immigration. We now have a disaster of such proportions that some states, like California, are all but lost. Illegal aliens and their anchor babies are tearing the state to pieces, and the politicians in Sacramento are facilitating the demise of a once great state.

Now Barack Obama wants to do to the rest of the country what happened to California; make it a defacto Mexican state, complete with crooked politicians, drug gangs, economy draining entitlement cases and a culture that is foreign to America in more ways than one. It doesn’t matter to Graham and Schumer if illegal immigration is destroying Mexico at the same time it is destroying the United States. If an amesty bill gets through, we’ll all be one country. Talk about a spike in unemployment. Somebody has to fund those entitlement programs. How much money do you have left?

That isn’t RINO Graham’s concern. He wants those borders open. Why is another question. Who the hell knows what he’s thinking. His radicalism doesn’t stop there though. He’s a cap and trade man. Yes he is. He’s the one that got together with Democrats to propose global warming legislation in the senate. Yes, even after being exposed for the fraud that it is, Graham in true Dem socialist style is still pushing it. He also wants to close Gitmo, and is helping on that front too. Not sure how much clout he has there, but it’s the thought that counts.

This guy is a Dem. Don’t be fooled. He’s as bad as Dede Scozzafava ever was. And if there is one Republican that needs to hang it up, it’s Lindsey Graham. Yes, there are more, but this clown is a glaring example of what’s wrong with the GOP. How much do you want to bet Steele and the gang are throwing their support behind him?

Can we say that New York has just had a run of bad luck, or have just made a series of bad choices? How about [...]]]> Quite a state you have there, New Yorkers. But don’t feel alone. All states have their share of scumbags. You just have more media to shine the light on these cockroaches.

Can we say that New York has just had a run of bad luck, or have just made a series of bad choices? How about a combination of the two? Going back to when New Yorkers elected Hillary Clinton of Arkansas as their senator, only to have her bolt when she got the gig illegally as secretary of state. The Constitution expressly forbids the senator from taking the SOS position if the pay was increased while she was senator. Indeed, the pay was increased during her time in office. Basically, she can’t quit as senator and be appointed to a higher paying position, which is exactly what she did. Yes, she gave the finger to New Yorkers and the Constitution at the same time.

But the carnival of corruption didn’t stop there. New Yorkers also elected former NY attorney general Elloit Spitzer as governor. Tough as nails and take no prisoners with white collar thugs was the mantra of Spitzer, and New Yorkers liked what they saw. Unfortunately, Spitzer liked what he saw too, and went after it. Hookergate was his downfall, yet another politician that couldn’t keep it in his pants. But Spitzer couldn’t just go out and find a girlfriend on the side. No, he wanted his favorite hooker, and ultimately, it blew up in his face, and he resigned. That’s okay, because the madam that supplied Spitzer’s hooker is now running for governor herself! I suppose you could make this up, but in this case, it’s all true.

After Spitzer was tossed out, he was replaced by what seemed to be a perfect politically correct tokenization by the Democrat run legislature in New York. What could be more perfect than a blind African-American? I say African-American, but as far as I know, he’s never been to Africa. Turns out that this guy is a racist piece of garbage, but on the positive side, he knows how to take care of his friends. One of those friends just happened to sexually harass a woman, and the governor went out of his way to pressure the woman to drop the accusation. Dave was caught pulling this stunt, but unlike Spitzer, has refused to resign. However, some of his top aides have run screaming from his administration. And if their comments are any indicator, he’s as guilty as they come.

Communications Director Peter Kauffmann bolted Thursday, saying he could not remain at his job in “good conscience.”

Denise O’Donnell, the governor’s public safety czar, abruptly quit in disgust, and State Police Superintendent Harry Corbitt retired rather ride out the firestorm sparked when Paterson and his security detail contacted a domestic violence victim.

You would think that most people would hang it up when even the people around you just can’t take it. The toxic Patterson is hanging on for now, despite numerous calls for resignation, including from the White House. You know, if Obama thinks you’re toxic, then it’s really time to go.

We don’t need to rehash the entire NY23rd District debacle, where RINO Dede Scozzafava turned out to be a Democrat, and even supported the candidate the admitted he was a Dem, over Doug Hoffman, citizen candidate who should have won that election. Well, all states have their share of voting machine trouble.

As if New Yorkers hadn’t gotten enough drama from their elected officials, enter Eric Massa, who couldn’t even finish a single term before resigning. Apparently, he tried to nail a male staffer, but was obviously rejected. The incident sparked a house ethics investigation, but instead of becoming another Elliot Spitzer, Massa has decided to quit. You’re sleeping on the couch tonight, Eric. It remains to be seen if his family sticks by him. We can only speculate that this has never happened before. Yeah.

What’s next for New York? Who knows, but maybe after November New Yorkers will have finally gotten a clue and will install representatives that are shall we say, less controversial? If they can at least get Hoffman elected in NY23 that would be a start.

Ignoring the American people, ignoring Republicans-and the Americans voters they represent, ignoring anybody and anything that stand in the way of his 21st century Bolshevik [...]]]> Now we see why Barack Obama wants a straight up or down vote for his health care takeover plan. He just doesn’t have the support to do it the right way.

Ignoring the American people, ignoring Republicans-and the Americans voters they represent, ignoring anybody and anything that stand in the way of his 21st century Bolshevik revolution, Barack Obama has indicated that he wants a straight up or down vote for his health care plan. That would be great for him, since Democrat socialists hold majorities in both the house and senate. That isn’t the way this republic works though, no matter how hard Obama tries to change that. If he tries to do it the right way, the way where representatives of the American people-even if they are in the majority, can have a voice, this thing dies on the vine.

Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) has indicated that he and 11 other Democrats will not support the senate version of the health care bill, namely because the provisions for funding abortion are too weak. He wants guarantees that abortion will not be funded or he and his pals will withdraw their support. Once you add the number of Dems that have retired, the ones who are on the proverbial chopping block in November, and the ones who have just had a change of heart, Nancy Pelosi will have a difficult task ahead of her to secure another 216 votes for a senate bill that many Dems are unhappy with.

Abortion is but one issue of contention. Rumors floating around Capitol Hill are that as many as 20 Democrats are ready to bill this bill to rest. We know that the senate will use reconciliation to get it through, so the real test is in the house, and Stupak has basically confirmed what Paul Ryan said a few days ago: they don’t have the votes.

That isn’t to say that they can’t get the votes. We know that the White House is busy buying votes, and with backroom deals already part of the package, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a few more. But how many more deals could they make? 12-20 nays is quite a mountain to climb. Sure, they could change the language of the bill to make Stupak happy, but at the same time it would anger other Democrats. Pelosi is now stuck between a rock and a few hard places. She can’t make her own party happy, she has no Republican support, nor does she have the support of the American people. The only one on her side here is Barack Obama, and I don’t think that they are actually friends. They’re just both doing their duty for the love of Karl.

Well, they can drag this thing out for months more, but at the same time, it will slow down the rest of the Obama nightmare train of legislation. It will have no effect on the behind the scenes maniacy that is disembowling this country from the inside out. Another post. Previous posts. Future posts. On the legislative front though the traitors that have oozed into Washington are finding out that is isn’t that easy to blatantly ignore the will of the people. An aspect of this whole process that just doesn’t get enough attention. These people are ignoring us. Yes, they hear us, they know what we want, but instead of really being representative they label us as tea baggers Nazis, astroturf, un-American, and the list goes on. I’ve said it before, the old tactic of accusing somebody else of what you are, and then watching them scramble to defend themselves, effectively cutting off real debate. That didn’t happen this time. A big thanks to Barry, Harry and Nan. Without you three stooges, America might still be asleep at the switch. We’re wide awake now.

As the bright lights of ABC News shined down on the fading Botoxed face of Nancy Pelosi, the San Francisco freak plumped herself up to the nation, even though she must know she stands alone in her assessment. Interviewer Elizabeth Vargas asked Pelosi to giver herself a grade for the last year, as Obama was asked about his last year. Barry gave himself a B+. That alone is enough to roll you eyes, but Pelosi took it a step further. Her answer was an “A” for effort. At first thought, you might be thinking that she is just obligated not to trash herself on national television. But take a deeper look. If her goal was to move the country as far to the left as possible, bilk taxpayers for free plane rides for her and her family, muscle through legislation in the house the the American people were vehemently against, propose tax hikes for everything imaginable, ramrodding Obamacare, even as constituents were screaming in her frozen face to let it die, championing the threat of jail time for not buying it, and overall, absolutely ignoring the will of the American people, if that is what she was trying to accomplish…well then she might just deserve that A.

Her job is not done though. After the senate uses reconciliation to pass their version of Obamacare, Pelosi will still need to muster enough votes to pass it in the house. She may not have those votes right now, according to Paul Ryan. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Pelosi still runs the house, at least until November, and possibly beyond, the Obama agenda is in full overdrive, government jobs and entitlements are increasing, even as the public sector wallows in the depression, the Justice and State Departments are being stocked with terror sympathizers, the national debt is crushing, and likely unpayable, the borders are not secure despite claims to the contrary, with Pelosi branding ICE agents un American for enforcing immigration law, welcoming illegal aliens and touting them as patriots, even as they walk away from their own countries, running and hiding when the vote came down to de-fund ACORN, cap and trade, the stimulus, value added tax, and if all that isnt’ bad enough…November isn’t here yet.

Sure, I’ll give her an A for effort. I would give Karl Marx an A for effort as well. It’s much easier to be destructive than constructive. Nancy Pelosi has taken the low road, and is destroying to the best of her ability. She has quite a role model in the White House.

Mayor Antonio Mecha Villaraigosa, the corrupt, racist, lech, ex(?) gang member that is now in his second [...]]]> We can blame the corrupt politicians in Los Angeles for the city’s woes all we want, but the fact is, if the citizens hadn’t voted for them in the first place, we wouldn’t be in this current downward spiral.

Mayor Antonio Mecha Villaraigosa, the corrupt, racist, lech, ex(?) gang member that is now in his second term as Mayor of Los Angeles, is doing his part to perpetuate the global warming myth, and at the same time help drive another dagger into the back of the city. The latest scam is a proposal to add a $2.50 monthly surcharge to Department of Water and Power energy bills in an effort to move towards renewable sources of energy. Nothing wrong with exploring those avenues, but this thing stinks from the top down.

The DWP, already awash in over $100 million in excess funds, are having those funds transferred to the general fund. The city is broke, and it will take money wherever it can get it. This leaves the DWP deficient in funds to accomplish the mayor’s green initiative. They have decided (not surprisingly) to turn to the taxpayer to pick up the slack. Never mind the sweetheart union deal that Villaraigosa worked out with the DWP, courtesy the city taxpayer, now he wants to hit us all again with a surcharge to take the place of the money that was raided by the city government. And he may just get it. Remember, this is the same block of voters that handed itself a 10% phone tax thinking it was a tax decrease. You can’t make this up. This is the same block that voted in Villaraigosa twice, even as his approval numbers were in the tank. This same block is willing to shoot itself in the foot again, despite living in a city with one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation.

How easy is it to turn these voters upside down? Very easy. Villaraigosa’s goons did some polling to gauge voter reaction to being hoodwinked out of more of their dollars once again. The results had to make them smile.

…In the same line of questions, only 52% favored a surcharge or fee to cover the cost of converting the DWP from coal to renewable sources.

In another part of the survey, however, 64% of respondents said they were willing to pay a $2.50 surcharge to move the DWP off of coal, pollsters said.

Yes, the voters were against it before they were for it. All they have to do is make the language so confusing that the voters won’t even understand what they’re being hit with. It shouldn’t be that difficult. After all, they successfully did just that with the phone tax. Not only that, the $2.50 number was just an estimate. It could be much higher.

If the voters of Los Angeles want to have their pockets picked once again so Villaraigosa can bankroll his buddies with some undoable green scam, then there may be nothing any of us can do about it. Unfortunately, they will take the rest of us down with the ship.

I’ve said before that this is about wealth redistribution and not global warming, and we need to look no further than the United Nations’ Governing Council of the United Nations Environment [...]]]> That’s right folks, trillion with a T. They’re ignoring all evidence of the fallacy of global warming, because this isn’t about global warming at all.

I’ve said before that this is about wealth redistribution and not global warming, and we need to look no further than the United Nations’ Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Programme for proof. Despite the recent revelations by Phil Jones over at the University of East Anglica that he has lost most of the data that supports global warming, and one admission after another that previous predictions were either wrong, or flat out lies, and the fact that entire countries are beginning to balk at this whole charade, the United Nations is plowing ahead with their scheme to separate you from your money. They estimate that the cost of reducing carbon dioxide emissions-which is basically your breathing will cost a staggering $45 trillion, to be redistributed so all countries can get on the green bandwagon.

Well, we know India won’t play the game. They dumped the IPCC after their false analysis of the Himalayas melting. We also know China isn’t going to go along, even stating that they will take of care of their green initiative on their own. Now where would the U.N. get that kind of money if the two most populous countries in the world aren’t going to play along? That’s right, from the United States, which still perpetuates the myth around the world as the richest country on the planet. $13 trillion in hock and no money to pay it back is not rich in my book.

Since China isn’t likely to bankroll this goof-ball scheme that Obama himself has promoted, the only place to extract this money will be from the American taxpayer, already facing hard times with unemployment, underemployment, and new taxes on the horizon. Cap and trade and health care are just two of the possible taxes Americans will be belted with this year, not to mention the Pelosi favorite value added tax. Yes, the U.N. sees the gravy train flowing in the United States, and they have plans to get their corrupt, socialist, lying, Muslim accommodating hands on it.

If the U.N. has their way, Hugo Chavez, the Castro brothers, Lula in Brazil, Ahmajenidad in Iran and Assad in Syria and the plethora of corrupt regimes in Africa will all get a piece of your dime to fight global warming. I’m sure that’s exactly what they’ll use the money for. Of course, they know as well as we do that the money is really for something completely different. According to the U.N., which includes Barack Obama, make no mistake about that, the United States needs to be knocked down a few pegs in order to bring other countries up. Remember, Obama said that no country is above another, and damn if he isnt’ going to show you how true he feels that is. This is tunnel vision thinking of socialist in general. They don’t believe that creation of something new is possible. They believe in lack and that there is only so much to go around, so instead of creating wealth, as a capitalist society would, the socialists will just redistribute what already exists, ensuring that entrepeneurial capital is wasted. That’s a recipe for failure, but all these clowns will be long gone by the time that happens, and history will inevitably be written to blame it on someone or something else. These idiots will be touted as heroes who tried to save the world. Remember the kind of folks that actually write history books, particularly for schools.

The good news is that Obama is unlikely to get any kind of legislation related to this through after November. The bad news is that he’s ready and willing to impose executive orders to circumvent congress.
