RANT: Is this one of the “few enumerated powers”?

Saturday, February 6, 2016

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/02/06/california-based-beauty-school-to-close-all-55-campuses.html?intcmp=hplnws

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. –  A Beverly Hills-based beauty school says it’s closing all 56 of its campuses in five states after losing federal funding over allegations of misconduct.

Marinello Schools of Beauty has been in business for over a century. It shut facilities this week in California, Nevada, Utah, Kansas and Connecticut.

# – # – # – # – # 

My question is why is the Federal Gooferment involved in “student loans”?

Where in the Constitution is this one of the “few enumerated powers”?

It may be a State regulatory concern — are the students being defrauded — but why is the Federal Gooferment doing anything?

Argh!

RANT: CDC Cover-Up

CDC Cover-Up of Autism and Vaccine Link Continues
By Dr. David Brownstein
Dr. Brownstein’s Blog
January 29, 2016

*** begin quote ***

However, the very same U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has refused to call a hearing about another health crisis—whether or not childhood vaccines cause autism.

In August, 2014, a senior CDC researcher, Dr. William Thompson came forward and sought whistleblower status by claiming that an important 2004 paper from the CDC—which found no correlation with the MMR vaccine and autism–was fraudulent. According to Dr. Thompson, the CDC researchers actually found that the MMR vaccine, when given before 36 months of age (it is presently recommended at 12-15 months and again at five years) was significantly correlated with the development of autism. However, the CDC, in a closed-door meeting, altered the data to hide their findings. Furthermore, the authors of this 2004 paper were told, by their bosses at the CDC, to throw out and not disclose any information that showed a correlation of the MMR vaccine with autism.

I have written to about this travesty many times.

*** end quote ***

My problems is that there is no “honesty” in Gooferment.

I am more firmly convinced that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

The politicians and bureaucrats have indemnified Big Pharma by the “vaccine harm fund”. SO there is no way to make them pay for their mistakes.

And, of course, a cover up is usually worse than the crime.

I hope whomever is the new President can “clean house”.

But, I fear, that’s too much to hope for.

Argh!

I don’t envy the decision any parent has to make. And, the fact that there are no “facts” to guide them makes it even worse. At least, the old tribal witch doctor didn’t have a conflict of interest. Too many bad results and he’d be sacrificed to appease the gods. Maybe we should try that approach?

RANT: H-1B replacing American workers at Disney / ABC

Saturday, January 30, 2016

Laid-off IT workers muzzled as H-1B debate heats up
By Patrick Thibodeau  
Computerworld | Jan 28, 2016 2:01 PM PT 

*** begin quote ***

In November, Blumenthal co-sponsored new H-1B legislation by longtime program critics, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), designed to prevent the replacement of U.S. workers by H-1B visa holders.

Nonetheless, Blumenthal remains a co-sponsor of the I-Squared Act, which raised questions among those laid off about his intentions.

“He is still co-sponsoring everything,” one former Connecticut utility worker said about Blumenthal. The worker asked not to be identified because of severance package limitations. “He is totally unbelievable.” Blumenthal was not immediately available for comment.

Leo Perrero, an IT worker at Disney who was laid off after training his foreign replacement, says non-disparagement agreements hinder the debate over the H-1B visa. Without such agreements, “you would have a lot more people speaking out – real human beings with real stories, not just anonymous persons speaking out,” said Perrero.

“Their freedom of speech is being taken away from them with the non-disparagement agreements,” he said.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but I have to urge folks NOT to go to Mickey Mouse land.

Disney / ABC must be made to understand that us in the bourgeoisie or the  proletariat will not fund our own demise!

If I was the AFL / CIO, I’d be unionizing all the white collar workers.

And, we should be hammering all the politicians and bureaucrats about this abuse.

Argh!

“It is a sad day in America when those who harvest the body parts of aborted babies escape consequences for their actions, while the courageous truth-tellers who expose their misdeeds are handed down a politically motivated indictment instead,” she said.

I’m speechless.

RANT: I must be getting old

Saturday, January 23, 2016

I’ve hunkered down due to the snow.

In my younger days, I’d be out and about.

I think these politicians are really obnoxious. “Travel bans”! It’s like they think they are Kings!

Argh!

It’s snow. If you go out and get stuck, that’s your problem.

All this does is empower the Nanny State to convince us that we are too stupid to take care of ourselves and make decisions about what we need to do and what risks we will take to get those important things done.

Argh!

RANT: NFL conspiracy?

The NFL conspiracy theory freaking out Patriots fans
By Jonathan Lehman January 21, 2016 | 11:11am

*** begin quote ***

That fear picked up some fodder when the Boston Herald pointed out the Broncos are undefeated in games refereed by Hochuli. What’s more: The Patriots, despite their off-the-charts winning percentage this decade, are 3-4 in Hochuli games since 2010, and he was the ref who threw a crucial offensive pass interference flag against Rob Gronkowski in the Week 10 nail-biter against the Giants.

*** end quote ***

Never bet on anything that talks and never doubt that EVERYTHING is fixed.

I bet the NFL brass would love to stick it to the PATS.

RANT: The Gooferment entraps some poor fools who can’t figure out how to buy a plane ticket without help?

CONSPIRACIES – PLOTST
wo Virginia men arrested on terror charges
Published January 17, 2016  Associated Press

*** begin quote ***

According to court documents filed in the case, Farrokh asked for help getting to Syria from a person who he didn’t know was an informant for the FBI. He later met with two other FBI informants he believed were people who could help him join the Islamic State group. Court documents say Farrokh expressed concerns about trusting the men and said he didn’t want to go to jail. At one meeting with them, however, he agreed to swear an oath of allegiance, court documents said. He also allegedly said that he wanted to die a martyr but did ask if his wife and family could eventually join him in Syria. He said he had other ways to get to Syria in the past that weren’t secure and needed a connection because he didn’t want to get arrested.

*** end quote ***

Why is there always some Gooferment help for these fools to fall into a trap?

Entrapment?

Makes me wonder.

IF these guys couldn’t figure out how to buy a plane ticket, THEN how dangerous could they be?

Better they are over there, than staying here.

RANT: Why are their “mobile homes” in the first place?

2 dead, several injured as storms rip through Florida
Published January 17, 2016  FoxNews.com

*** begin quote ***

Florida officials say two adults have been killed and four children have been seriously injured after two suspected tornadoes swept through central Florida early Sunday.

The dead and injured were all members of the same family and living in a mobile home in Duette, Fla., near Tampa.

*** end quote ***

One would think that “we” could build “mobile homes” that could keep folks safe. Or why do “we” permit them at all?

RANT: The Law of Karma

Sunday, January 10, 2016

http://espn.go.com/blog/pittsburgh-steelers/post/_/id/17345/steelers-leave-cincinnati-bruised-battered-and-alive-in-afc-playoffs

Steelers leave Cincinnati bruised, battered — and alive in AFC playoffs

# – # – # – # – # 

Did the “gods of football” deliver Karmic justice to the Cincinnati fans for booing and throwing garbage on Pittsburgh Steeler QB Big Ben when he was taken off injured?

And, to reinforce the lesson, those same “gods of football” did it by befogging the brains of the Cincinnati defense. 

How does that line go?

“Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.” — Euripides

I always thought it meant “crazy”, but last night I got the true meaning.

A true champion respects his opponent; because in the end, our true opponent is ourselves.

Last night demonstrated that to any who watched.

Well done, “gods of football” for demonstrating STARKLY the Law of Karma — what goes around, comes around.

Usually, exponentially worse.

So, be careful what you wish for others, you might get it back — bigger and harder.

Wow!

And remember the old Cincinnati coach’s quote that was on the locker room scroll: “The key to winning is poise under stress.”

Guess no one read that one!

RANT: Ross Ulbrich got screwed

15 News Stories from 2015 You Should Have Heard About But Probably Didn’t

December 30, 2015

*** begin quote ***

Ross Ulbricht, founder of the dark web marketplace, the Silk Road, was sentenced to life in prison in spite of the fact that he committed no violent crimes — though the FBI attempted to paint a false picture that he did, albeit without filing formal charges. The prosecution was rife with corruption and scandal; two FBI agents involved in the case were charged with stealing Bitcoin during the investigation. In July, one admitted to stealing $700,000 worth of the digital currency.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but this is absurd.

Even more important, if the prosecution is not honest and above board, then it should be thrown out.

Argh!
