MAYHEM


Feingold exposes himself. He thinks businesses exist to provide jobs for people. Wrong answer. Businesses exist to make a profit. Oh I know, ‘profit’ is a dirty word for these socialist Dems. But it can’t be helped. No profit; no business; no jobs.

My wife edits American law books over in India. They can hardly keep up. So many laws are being passed; so many addendums; clarifications; directives. They’re hiring like crazy. It’s become a real boon for Indian outsourcing.

Question: Why can’t the editing be done here in America? I hear there’s joblessness right here at home. I suspect it’s the same reason the major print media is dying. They’ve forgotten how to write anything more substantive than rank propaganda. At least that much hasn‘t been outsourced yet.

A few threads ago, I mentioned the senseless beating death of Abelino Mazeriego in normally tranquil Summit, NJ. Since then there have been 11 attacks on Mexican day laborers on Staten Island, NY. (Staten Island can be seen from Summit.) Something sinister is going on - so much so, the Mexican government has become involved. The emphasis on the blogs has been on the outrage some feel over Mexican intrusion into our affairs. This morning, talk show host, John Gambling, discussed the issue with Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who seemed at a loss for an explanation. He promised to beef up patrols.

Given that the attacks all have the same MO, it is highly unlikely that it’s random. There’s something behind it. I would suggest that police search popular social network sites. It’s likely that a call went out promoting this kind of mayhem.

Chicago Politics


None of what was said back in 2008, or even what is being said today about Obama’s associations and involvement in what we refer to as ‘Chicago politics’ is a story. The only story here is the one about the dog who didn’t bark: the mainstream media. They have consistently refused to delve into Obama’s past. And this is precisely why we are where we are today.

What has become all too obvious by now is that this is not merely a matter of following the money. It’s much bigger than that. This is about ideology. This is about Islam.

Update on the Abelino Mazeriego murder earlier this month in Summit, NJ:

My son and I took our customary walk uptown tonight and found Springfield Avenue closed to vehicular traffic. As we proceeded into town on foot we found hundreds of people there. There was a march and vigil starting at City Hall, going past the murder scene (which has in the meantime become an oft-frequented memorial with candles, condolences, flowers and balloons) and ending on the Village Green across from Summit Station. The people who came were somber, well dressed and civilized. All races, young and old, were well represented.

POTUS visited New Jersey today where he met with small-business owners at Tastee Sub Shop in Edison. He also taped a segment for The View which is to air tomorrow. He did not meet with the Boy Scouts during their week-long 100th anniversary celebration.

It might have been nice if he could have found time to take the short hop over to Summit to address the people here.

Somebody Tell The White House


I am deeply saddened tonight. A middle-aged Ecuadorian man was beaten to death on Saturday night. He was sitting on a bench in a small park across the street from the Indian restaurant where he worked as a dishwasher. At around 9:30 in the evening he was approached by three youths. Two sat down beside him. One threw a white cloth over his face; a second beat him; while a third video taped the action. The attack appears to have been unprovoked.

This happened smack in the center of town where I have lived off and on for over 50 years. In all that time, I cannot remember anything like this ever happening. The victim was taken to Overlook Hospital where he died on Tuesday.

It took the police and mayor till Tuesday to release a statement. They were hoping the man wouldn’t die so the incident could be swept under the rug and forgotten. Meanwhile, the video had made the rounds on the internet long before. Citizens are understandably outraged. What had taken the mayor so long to warn residents? He claimed that an immediate statement would have compromised the investigation.

An 18-year old was arrested. A 17-year old, who is said to have inflicted the fatal blows, has also been taken into custody, though his name was not released due to his age. The camera guy was let go.

Summit is one of the wealthiest towns in the state. Property values have barely been affected by the recession. The prosperous commercial center where it happened consists primarily of banks, up-scale restaurants and hair salons. Though, since the recession started, there have been some businesses that have closed.

There is a sizable and close-knit Hispanic community here. There will be more blood. It got me to thinking that the race war the White House seems so intent on provoking will misfire. The battle is coming alright. But it will not be fought between whites and all others. Whites will know enough to steer clear.

Somebody tell the White House.
