Illegal Aliens and Driver’s Licenses in N.C

North Carolina Latino advocates are once again demanding that the state lawmakers pass a bill that would give ILLEGAL ALIENS a special driver’s licenses. This is what The Latin American Coalition and the state’s largest Latino advocacy group, El Pueblo want.

 

According to the Campillo of The Latin American Coalition, “People have to work, people have to take their kids to school”. What Mr. Campillo still does not get, is that it is against the law to give any illegal alien, now matter what country they come from a driver’s license in NC. Why do these groups insist that they are illegal immigrants. Illegal is illegal no matter what group you put after the word “illegal”.

 

Because you are Hispanic, does not make you a special person or group. The laws of the North Carolina and the United States are made to protect people from illegal acts by any person or group. Seems like a pretty simple principle to me.

 

Mr. Campillo also sates that not having a driver’s license makes “people feel exposed”. How so Mr. Campillo? He goes on to say that not having a license “means people (Hispanics) will be less likely to have car insurance”. I agree, but that has never stopped anyone from driving before. Look how many DWI convicted drivers drive without a license or insurance.

 

Mecklenburg County Sheriff Jim Pendergraph sums it up rather nicely. “It is illegal to be in this country undocumented period”. Well spoken Sheriff.

 

These same Latino advocacy groups are pushing for FREE in-state tuition! I wish I could have gotten free in-state tuition for my kids. I think their special. The advocacy groups want additional money to investigate complaints about illegal alien workers not getting paid. Hello, the word is still illegal!

 

At what point in this countries history did it suddenly become for an illegal of any country to have more protections and privileges than the legal citizens? How did all this get started? Why do countries have borders and laws? To some people I guess the world should do away with borders and all laws. I believe there is a term for life in that sort of world, anarchy.

The Cowards of the Congress Have Voted.

Well once again Congress has proved that we still have the best government money can buy. It took the Leader of the Cowards Pelosi (D-CA) weeks of backdoor negotiations and bribery to get 218-212 vote vote in the U.S. House of Representives to set a September 1st 2008 deadline for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.The Dems really couldn’t get a clean vote on the withdrawal of the troops, no, they had to resort to bribing members of their own party to vote the Pelosi way.

The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veteran’s Health, and Iraq Accountability Act  as it is known in the polite political circles in Washington is a hog feed bonanza. The bill allocates $103 billion in added funding for military operations and also provides funds for the care of the injured troops. But it also included $21 billion for the folks back home that love pork.

Some of the major apporpriations that are under fire include:

– $50 million for “asbestos abatement and other improvements” in the U.S. Capitol.
– $74 million for “storage, handling, and other associated costs for the 2007 crop of peanuts.”
– $120 million to fund the shrimp industry’s   recovery from Hurricane Katrina
– $284 million for payments to dairy farmers
– $4.3 billion in increased Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster relief for areas affected by hurricanes

The bill allocates smaller amounts, such as $5.27 million for bird flu research and $165,200 for the widow of a late congressman.

As Brian Riedl, a federal affairs analyst for the Heritage Foundation states that Congress is “using the troops as a bargaining chip for their own pork” and called the domestic projects “extremely wasteful.”

We can’t pay for new weapon systems, body armor or advanced training but we are willing to protect a peanut crop! Hear that American Fighting Troops? Congress thinks the peanuts are more important that meeting your needs to win a war. A war they don’t want to fight. Perhaps getting elected to Congress should come with a couple of General’s stars since they know more about the art and practice of war than you do.

Now of course President Bush has said that he will veto the bill as soon as it is presented to him. Thank you Mr. President Bush for standing by your troops as Commender in Chief. You and the Generals who’s job is to run the war. It is not the job of those desk bound cowards sitting safely in Washington.

Perhaps making all members of congress brown bar louie’s isn’t really such a bad idea. In fact I like it. Let them  see the face of war from the eyes of a grunt. Let them learn of the brotherhood that is formed between men and women who have looked into the eye of the elephant. Maybe they would learn that the universe does not revolve around them… it revolves around that band of brothers who will give his very life for his buddies. They would learn how important it is to have unity and purpose for common goal. Just may be they would see the true perpose of this and every war America has ever fought. The need to protect the lives and way of life all Americans.

There is of course another snister side of this bill. The Dems will be able to boast that we are the party that wants to stop the war and bring the troops home while President Bush and his followers want to continue losing American lives on foreign soil. What I think they are really try to do is just score more points in the eyes of there Liberal backers knowing all the time that the bill would die.

I could be wrong in all this… and I most likely am, so I guess what it all boils down to is the Pelousi and her Band of Cowards are just that Cowards.

Congress is behaving more and more like a bunch of unruely children. And these bad children need a time out. And the best time to do that is in the next elections.

Mystery Creator of Hillary Clinton 1984 Video Id’d.

Vote Different

Shocking video of the future? Let’s hope NOT!

The video is a scary look into the future if Hillary Clinton were to become President. The mystery creator of the video was identified today as Philip de Vellis. The firm he worked for prior to his resignation today has ties with Sen. Barack Obama. Mr de Vellis reports that he did the video on his own time, away from his office.

Writing in his blog, Mr De Vellis wrote: his blog posting, he wrote: “I support Senator Obama. I hope he wins the primary. (I recognize that this ad is not his style of politics). I also believe that Senator Clinton is a great public servant, and if she should win the nomination, I would support her and wish her all the best.”

Clinton’s staff has not made a comment as of this time. As for me, I can’t believe anyone would support this woman. That is a very scary thought.

How secure was the Super Bowl?

Came across this interesting video and story while doing a little surfing.

Now I’m not a big fan of any organized sports, especially once this athletes starting making mega-millions of dollars to play a game. But the Super Bowl does catch the imagination of just about everyone, including the federal government because it would be a prime target for Radical Islam’s terrorists. As such, millions up millions of dollars were spent on security.

How then was it possible that a group of four comedians from Zug.com were able to pull off this “Super Stunt” right under the nose’s of all the security outfits including cops from Homeland Security assigned to cover the game? Just goes to prove, you really aren’t safe anywhere in the war of World Wide Terrorism being carried out by Radical Muslims.

Be afraid America,                                        Be very afraid.

The Continuing Saga of Our Failing VA Health Care System

Sadly, the stories of lack of care and supervision at the VA hospital in Salisbury NC keep coming. Today comes the revelation that a nurse who was responsible for visiting “seriously ill Veterans that the VA housed in private nursing homes” was not doing her job. Perhaps that is a bit of an understatement. Turns out she had not made her visits every quarter as required for more than two years! This from a report done last year.

“Federal inspectors last year found that a Salisbury VA nurse, charged with monitoring care for some of the system’s frailest veterans, filed inaccurate reports on their health and listed one as being in ’stable’ condition 12 days after he had died”. It was also determined that some of the Vets had major weight losses and had been admitted to the hospital for care during those two years while she was over seeing their care.

And the sad part is she remains employed at the Salisbury VA. Only the VA would tolerate this type of possible criminal action. As Oscar Aylor, a UNC Chapel Hill professor, said the nurse would have been fired for such an “incredible” offense at civilian hospitals . But this didn’t happen in this case. Not in their business as usual mentality, the nurse was just reassigned to other duties. Perhaps she was reassigned to the library where the VA likes to put people into some kind of dark, medieval torture chamber. Or, perhaps she was promoted and moved into some new double secret newly created administrative position. They like to do that also. Why does the VA continue to keep people like this employed? This is not the first time an event like this has happened at the Salisbury VA, and sadly it won’t be the last.

How many cases of gross incompetence have they covered up in the past? Shame the public can’t get copies of the incident reports that are completed everyday when an injury occurs, a patient is reported missing or there was a medication error. All the times the wrong medication have been given to patients and again, no one was terminated. Or when Medical Officer of the Day writes orders on patients he never laid eyes on. How can a provider prescribe treatment when he/she has not seen or touched the patient. Or the number of incorrect prescriptions being sent to Vets every month. Medication brands that are changed so they have different colors or shapes and no label is placed on the bottle to advise the Vets of a change. Yes, the name will be the same, but it is not what the patient has been receiving. How is he to know that the government buys from the cheapest generic makers in the world?

Now for one of the greatest UNDERSTATEMENT in Salisbury Veterans Administration Hospital history: “Donald Moore, who was the Salisbury hospital’s director at the time of both reports, told the Observer that the case with the nurse was one of the most serious during his tenure, but he said “It was poor charting. It wasn’t as bad as it seems, though I know that sounds crazy.” Sounds CRAZY? You think? I have another word, actually several words that better describe this: incompetent, malpractice, dereliction of duty or perhaps something simple like STUPID!

 

I understand that there will be another inspection team coming to the Salisbury VA in the near future. The rats will be scurrying around trying to make everything correct. Perhaps they should talk to someone like James “Jay” Robinson PhD. This is the person who knows a lot of what goes on in the dark, sheltered world of the administers. Ask him why, even after being presented proof that the Joint Commission requires that a history and physical be preformed WITHIN 24 hours of admission, but he just felt that he was threatened when proof was presented to him. It would also be interesting to hear if any one has a good reason why a CONVICTED felon was permitted to remain employed for nearly a year. Know anything about that Jay? Bus as usual, the inspection team won’t be talking to the real staff, just the occupants of the Puzzle Palace who will spin their tales of how all the problems have been resolved, and they could not and never would have happened on their watch. Right!

And the band plays on…

Kennedy pushes his weight around for illegal aliens.

Thank your Sen. Edward Kennedy, (D-MA) for asking Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chetoff to release arrested illegal aliens. You know Kennedy. He is the drunken coward who killed a Mary Jo Kopechne back in back in 1969. Well I digress.

On March 6th 2007 the Michael Bianco Inc. factory got a visit from ICE. During that visit some 361 suspected illegal aliens were detained. Interestingly, the factory had a large US government contract for equipment and clothing for our troops. Many of those detained by ICE were sent to Texas detention centers. Then a federal judge stepped in and ordered the remaing illegals to remain in MA for “humanitarian” reasons. Meaning they had kids with them.  Harry Spence, Commissioner of Social Services went to visit the nice, illegal, folks in Texas and held interviews with them.  Seems Mr. Spence and his cronies thought it best that 21 of the detained illegals be returned to MA. Immigration officials in TX were releasing 9 of the 21 Teddy wanted back.

Now for “Killer Ted“. He sent a letter to Michael Chertoff asking that ALL of the illegals detained in Texas be returned to MA for “supervised release“. Just what the hell is that? Are they going to be given state paid companions to keep track of them?

Luckily for America, Russ Knocheof Homeland Security notified “The Killer” that the “department has to enforce the law and added at least 20% of the immigrants” taken in the raid “had already received deportations orders”. Mr. Knochewent on to add “we will enforce the law and we will continue to do so in an aggressive and sensible way. Not enforcing the law is not an option”.

I say BRAVO to Mr. Knoche for standing up for the laws of the land and doing his job despite pressure from Kennedy and others.

Now the rub. Commissioner Spence wants the children between 2-16 (and some with special medical conditions) released. Why you might ask? Because… ready for it? All were believed born in the US therefore they are U.S. Citizens! This is another loop hole that congress has got to close. Some illegal comes up, gives birth on the U.S. taxpayers dollar and suddenly the child is legal. Ridiculous, you bet. Another Spence wants returned is a woman with cancer. Again, the U.S. tax payer is stuck with the bill.

Now I’m not saying we should break up the families of the illegals. On the contrary, keep them together in housing units, then deport them as families. No separation, no special cases, just do what the law requires.

Be interesting to see how Killer Kennedytwists this one around. Oh, and please don’t forget about the deceased Mary Jo Kopechne. She never did get her justice, and she was an American citizen!

The Rats Are On The Move.

Well it didn’t take long for the rats to get moving in the VA hospitals. I’ve heard from friends at several VA’s around the country that the administration has come out of their nests in the wall and scurrying around looking for problems. Actually, I guess their not looking for problems, more like creating problems. Of course, none are going to make one bit of difference in care, but the places will look pretty.

Heard of one Head Rat in Nursing who has thrown a hospital in panic just by saying she is going to make an inspection. Of course, none of the staff has any idea what she looks like.  The only time they leave their nests is to cause more problems. They (administration) all must belong to some Double Secret Hidden Identity Club who’s members are known only to other members of the rat pack. Guess they wear special rings or have a secret handshake.

As I have said before, nothing is going to change in the VA until the people who President Bush appointed or the Inspector General of the VA takes the time to talk one on one with the working staff. And sadly, I doubt if that will happen.

Already the furor over care to our Veterans has begun to fade from the press. Their too busy looking for the next crisis of the day. Same goes for congress.

Sad, again those who serve our country are beginning to fall through the cracks.

The Shiat Has Hit the VA!

Well, as they say, the shiat has hit the fan at the nations VA hospitals!

 

Surprise, surprise… no, not really. This has been predicted by myself and thousands of other Vets. And also by much, if not nearly all of the true workers at the VA. The administration can duck and weave all they want, by the shiat is all over their faces, where it belongs. What is sad is that it took a non-story about the deploring physical condition of the once world class medical center, Walter Reed Army Medical Center to bring this story to the front. I say the non-story because the Congress knew that Walter Reed was placed on the base closure list in 2005.

 

Congress put the Medical Center on the list! Oh such a short memory they have. As any sane person knows, you don’t spend mega-millions on a base that is going to close, so what did they think was going to happen? No money, no upkeep. Pretty simple concept, that is to everyone but the same politicians who are screaming “off with the administrations head”!  Please, please Congress, do take responsibility yourselves, don’t point your finger at everyone else (as you always do).

Now for my favorite topic of disgrace, the pathetic level of care at the nations VA Medical Centers and Salisbury in particular. Salisbury VA, AKA W.G. “Bill” Hefner VA Medical Center. On Friday March 9, 2007, a story was published on the Charlotte.com website about 2 veterans who had died at this Medical Center due to what was described as, putting it nicely “The doctors screwed up. The nurses screwed up”. One vet was 68, the other only 41. The following day, the same news site reported that U.S. Rep. Mel “The Useless” Watt called for a review of “suspicious deaths” at the Salisbury V.A.

What a hypocrite. Mel “The Useless” knew the care at the medical center was substandard and yet he did nothing. As usual. And as usual, he wants a report. Of course a report was done in 2005 after “an anonymous complaint about 12 suspicious death at the hospital” but it would appear that “The Useless” didn’t get a copy of the report. Guess he doesn’t read the newspaper either. What a well informed member of congress he is. Oh, and what was the report on the remaining 10 deaths? Seems to have gotten buried some place. Or, perhaps it is with so many of the other lost records at the VA???

 

That report blasted the Salisbury VAMC stating that the hospital should take “immediate appropriate action to ensure patient safety”. The report went on to say there was “a gross lack of leadership at almost every level, certainly medically. You should just be appalled at the whole situation”. Those remarks came from Oscar Aylor, a professor at UNC Chapel Hill.

 

And, as usual, the VA hospital’s interim director Sidney Steinburg  claims the report “not true or reflective of what we did”.  He reported that “the hospital replaced at least three doctors and a chief nurse a MONTH after the report”. “At least three doctors. He doesn’t know for sure how many HE replaced?

 

Of course, no one will ever get to the heart of the problem if they talk to the “Powers That Be” in administration. All of these members of congress and Former Senator Robert Dole need to get out and talk with the people who really see the shortfalls of the system. They need to talk with “working staff”. The doctors, PA’s, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists  and the other employees who see what goes on from the trenches every day. Not with administration who only see through the rose colored glasses.

 

They need to ask the staff how many people are on a scheduled tour but don’t show up because they are on duty with the military or extended sick leave. The Chief’s will tell you they have plenty of staff, see, look at the numbers on the paper here. But if you go on the wards they will find a completely different picture. The true picture. There may be only 2 or 3 people actually working because the others are on leave. And again, administration will say, no way, look at the numbers on the PAPER!

 

The investigators should also talk with the patients who have waited months to get an appoint. Or the vet’s who have been placed on “lists” for services. Some of these lists never appear to move. Ask them about the lost records, long waiting times, and endless other delays in getting the care they are entitled to.

 

Only when the real working troops are asked, “how’s it going” will they get the true answers of the deplorable condition of our Veterans health care system!

Who’s The Daddy. My Pick.

Just a though…

Everyone is trying to guess who the father of Anna Nicole, The Drug Addicted Clown, baby’s father is.

Well, I also want to put my two cents in.

Drum roll… Envelope please… And the father is…

Daniel Way Smith, the overly loved son!

 

Remember folks, you heard it here first.

Thank you.

Time to Pass the “Scott Gardner Act”.

NC Congressional Representative Sue Myrick (R-NC) is reintroducing the “Scott Gardner Act”. The “Scott Gardner Act” is a piece of legislation that needs to passed by both the House and the Senate into law. The act would call for the deportation of any illegal alien convicted of driving while impaired. 

 

The “Scott Gardner Act” was included in part of an immigration package that was approved by the House but was never considered by the Senate.

 

The Act is named after a NC resident, Scott Gardner who killed by an illegal alien, Ramiro Gallegos in 2005.  It was Gallegos fifth drunk driving charge in five years. By law he was eligible for deportation after each arrest! He was known to have been an illegal since 2000. But as is usual, the government never intervened.

 

Had this Act been pasted in 2005 perhaps the death of another NC resident, Leeanna Newman and her unborn child would be alive today. Ms Newman and her unborn child were killed last month by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, Carlos Alfonso Guillen Martinez. It was Martinez’s 7^th criminal charge. This scum was deported twice prior to this most recent murder charge.

 

An interesting side bar to Rep. Myrick’s announcement was made by Mecklenburg (NC) Sheriff Jim Pendergraph. He reported in just Mecklenburg County 1,520 illegal aliens who have committed crimes have been identified since May 1^st. Of that number 318 were charged with Driving While Intoxicated.

 

I urge everyone to write to their elected representatives and encourage them to vote YES on the “Scott Gardner Act”. Perhaps, just perhaps we can make our roads safer and keep these killers out of our country.
