There are 2 things here:
#1 - Obama keeps telling us that things are improving, yet all we see is how things are getting worse...
First, the new taxes on small businesses to support Obamacare
Second, joblessness continues to increase, yet funding for those families is being cut
Third, the stock market continues to decline
Fourth, the government is still making bad decisions
Fifth, the dollar continues to lose value
#2 - To top it all off, investors are saying that a "safe investment" is T-Bonds and Notes?
Sorry people! If you want your investments SAFE you need to start investing in hard investments like Gold and other precious metals. Or real-estate. Or any number of other things. But your investments should be more diverse or you will go down with the sinking ship.
I am worried about my retirement investments...they have been doing ok, but if the economy keeps going in this direction, it will be worthless within the next ten years.

Immigration v. Illegal Immigration and the LDS
Some Latino Mormons Say Church Should Take A Stand On Immigration
"Some Utah Latinos, who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, are calling for President Thomas S. Monson to take an official, public position on immigration."
The LDS Church already has, in the 12th Article of Faith:
"We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."
And in the 13th Article of Faith:
"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men..."
The article continues:
“The church needs to have a position in favor or opposed to Latinos,”
Huh? The Church takes no stand for or against any ethnic group or nationality. They take a position for all people, or it wouldn't be a GLOBAL Church.
The only position the Church CAN take is to support, honor, and obey the LAW of the LAND in which the Church is operating.
It has nothing to do with being in favor of or opposed to Latinos.
All are welcome into the LDS Church. But if people are here illegally, and if they are using stolen identities and working illegally in the US THEN there is an issue that needs to be discussed within the Church: maybe the Church should remind these people that if they break the law, they can lose their Church membership, or at a minimum, their temple recommend.
The LDS Church will always side with "what is true and right", not with what someone wants to be right, when it clearly isn't.

Conservativism is back
It seems that Texas isn't the only place tired of the Godless Liberals...
Time to start to rethink some strategy, liberals...progressivism isn't the path that people want.

The dawn of the Conservative is at hand.

I wonder if they would remove the pages that offend Mormons, Catholics, and anyone else that might be offended by their content.
If not, then it is discrimination. Pure and simple.

Litigatin on the brains
Our society is truly lost...
When people believe they can sue and make a fortune...I just don't get it. I believe in personal responsibility...but I seem to be "behind the times" on that.
In the following story, a woman was following Google Maps, a pedestrian pathway, that was a bit wrong. Apearently, her eyes and brain don't work, so she followed the path onto a highway and got hit by a car.
Seriously, if I saw a "path" leading into a bubbling volcano, I wouldn't follow the path into it, I would use my brain and figure out a way to avoid getting burned.
I guess the saying is true, "You cannot fix stupid".

But it seems I was right, there is no problem with using cell phones...

Gas Prices
In Ogden the past while, the Gas Prices kept going up and up. They said it went up $0.08 in a week.
Sad part is, we went to Yellowstone, and deep in the heart of the park, the gas prices are the same as in Ogden.
Gas was cheaper in West Yellowstone, and in Bozeman, than in Utah.
Good thing I don't use much any more, but come on, why does Utah always get the shaft on Gas Prices? We have the refineries! It should be cheaper!
I hate gas companies...

In one of my last Global Warming posts, I asked some questions about why we aren't looking into more science that is being studied, specifically, in how the SUN is affecting our weather.

Maybe this would explain why the weather was warming, and is now on a cooling trend?

Exxon v. Deepwater
The worst OIL disaster to happen in recent years was Exxon Valdez. It happened on March 24th, 1989. Within the first 3 months of Bush I's term in office.
In fact, we are still experiencing issues from that spill
Now, 18 months under a new administration, we see something similar, but far worse, the Deepwater Horizon incident
When we look back at the Exxon incident, we see a lot of sharp and biting criticism of the then president for not having acted fast enough to take over control of that spill:
April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon.
Would you like to see the criticism of President Obama for his failure to act fast enough? For his failure to federalize the clean-up efforts?
Well, isn't that interesting? Not a single criticism, and it has been 41 days, as of this writing.
What happened? Did the media forget how to report criticism of our President? Are people just unwilling to criticise him? Why the different treatment?
Instead, we seem to get a lot of excuse making:
Deepwater Horizon Well Now Worst Oil Spill on Record = this isn't true. (see information on Gulf War Oil Spill, Lakeview Gusher, Ixtoc I, etc.)
DEEPWATER HORIZON NOT OBAMA'S KATRINA.
Then, instead of dealing with this "national crisis", being "on the ground" and dealing with it, he is off on Vacation.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/27/stressed-tone-deaf-obama-chicago-vacation-raises-eyebrows/?test=latestnews
No wonder we have media pundits telling us how much he cares...they have to keep reminding us, or we might forget:
James Carville: I think it's a man who cares
Suzanne Malveaux: This administration, A, cares about this.
James Carville: This is a man who cares.
Plaquemines Parish President: I truly believe he cares.
Diana Sawyer: ...to show that he cares.
David Gergen: President Obama clearly cares.
To the families and friends of the Victims in the Deepwater Horizon incident, I apologize for our President. His inaction and the inaction of our Federal Government is letting this spill go on, destroying the ecology and economy, and he has failed to recognize the other victims in all this.
The rest of us haven't forgotten you, or the family/friends you lost in the explosion. We haven't forgotten that lively hoods are affected and the ecology is being destroyed. We speak out, we write letters, and we talk with people to get them to remember too.

When we look back at the Exxon incident, we see a lot of sharp and biting criticism of the then president for not having acted fast enough to take over control of that spill:
14 days after Exxon = Peter Jennings: Well, it took him a while to make up his mind, 14 days after the oil began pouring out of the Exxon Valdez into Prince William Sound, President Bush has ordered the federal government to take over control of the effort to clean it up, which makes it a hotter political issues, too little, too late.
15 days after Exxon = Dallas Morning News: Decision to send troops and equipment is long overdue.
22 days after Exxon = Seattle Times: Alaskan oil spill, crisis not under control, despite all of the promises. The inexcusable delay in the clean-up of the Exxon Valdez oil spill continues. More than a week after President Bush expressed interest in the catastrophe, little federal help has even arrived on the oil soaked beaches of Prince William Sound.
27 days after Exxon = Bush administration yesterday faced sharp criticism from the U.S. congress for not decisively taking control of the Exxon Valdez oil spill as senators called for new laws that would require the president to direct such clean-up efforts in the future. Senator majority leader George Mitchell said George Bush was, quote, slow to comprehend the magnitude of this disaster and valuable hours were lost after the May 24th spill in Alaska’s Prince William Sound when it might still have been controllable.
April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon.

The IRS is Evil
Some of the new legislation that has been passed in the last little while, YES, including Obamacare, gives the IRS new and exciting powers to tax the peoples of this great country.
The IRS now wants everyone, every small business, every sale of some item, even from private sales between private individuals to be reported as income.
The problem is, most of that stuff is not "income" but a simple transformation of money into something worth money back into money...
This is the same principal as income in the first place, being an equivalency of labor, instead of food or product.
Back in the day, I would work for 12 hours on a farm. The fruit of that labor was not an hourly wage, but a bunch of corn or wheat or something else...chairs, houses, or something build or grown by the labor of my hands.
Today, instead of reaping a direct reward in physical goods, I get paid a dollar amount for my labor. When you look at it, money is equal to labor, the goods grown or produced are equal to labor...
Now I take those goods and trade them for something else I need, either in barter or in money.
Now I take the dollars I earn and I trade them for something I need, like products or services...
However, now, the IRS is illegally taking my money. If you read the IRSC, the law that governs the IRS, you see the definition of "income" is money earned from a FOREIGN source or money earned ON TOP OF your investments (interest, etc)...THOSE are the only things that the IRS can legally tax.
But at least NOW you know why the IRS is so against a FLAT TAX or the FAIR TAX systems.
And now, the IRS will be given even more power to grab your money from ANY SALE of ANY ITEM...
IRS Wants a Cut of Sales On eBay and Craigslist
When will it stop?
The cost of everything continues to go up, the income we receive goes down, or investments are tanking, the economy is in shambles with no improvement in sight...and they still want MORE.
It must stop.

Immigration v. Illegal Immigration and Ignorance
People really have no idea what they are talking about...it is one of the most sad things I have seen. If we read the following article:
Immigration debate frequently hits home in Utah
We see a perfect example of what I mean...
Theresa Martinez, an associate professor at the University of Utah, says:
"It's really frightening stuff that's happening in Arizona,"
That is enlightening, as NOTHING has happened in Arizona that wasn't already LAW on the FEDERAL LAW BOOKS. If she is so scared by "Arizona Law", where was this fear when the Federal Law was enacted? And is this fear NEW because of Arizona? Or just a CONTINUED fear because of the Original Federal Law that Arizona plans to enforce?
"Racial profiling is not allowed under the law, but Martinez says it leaves law enforcement no choice -- and she says the future would be dramatically different for not only illegal immigrants, but U.S. citizens as well."
Really? And are the Federal ICE agents "given no choice" and do they "Racially Profile" in violation of the law?
Why do detractors of the Illegal Immigration Law have so little regard for our law enforcement? Why do they all believe that our law enforcement officers are all so evil as to racially profile for fun? Or that they violate the law "just because"?
I am sorry, but I will trust them. Officers RARELY violate the law. They USUALLY do the right thing.
The Liberals are clouding this issue. They are keeping people ignorant as to the Origins of the Arizona Law. They are keeping people ignorant as to the real cost and effect of Illegal Immigrants in the United States. They keep changing the argument from "illegal immigration" to "immigration"... lets not lose focus.
This issue is ONLY about Illegal Immigrants and Illegal Immigration. Law Abiding Individuals have nothing to fear. Our Law Enforcement professionals are NOT in the business of violating people's rights or breaking the law.
Don't be fooled. Support stronger immigration laws in Utah.

Do Nothing Gesture
I find it completely funny (not really) how our government will completely clamp on the binders, take away our rights, and try to control everything in our lives...just to "make us safe"...or at least, make us think we are being made safe...
In this case, they are going to require ID to buy a pre-paid cell phone, something also called a "burn phone"...used by criminals, and by cheapskates...
The only problem is, they will soon just pass these phones around and sell them on Ebay, etc...
They will pass these phones around until the person using it next will be completely unaware of who used it last, and who they really got it from. Once that is done, they cannot be burned with the phone, and they can still do business for a short time with it...
It will, at best, foil current law enforcement efforts, where the attach known phone numbers to crimes...and the phones will be legal in all cases, and still on the street, instead of off the street.
This is "feel good" legislation, at its best.

Illegal Immigration
One of the most useful liberal tools is to "change the words so you change the argument".
I have 2 really good examples of this:
#1- (Truth) Utah is last in Education Funding, (Liberalism) Utah is last in Education.
#2- (Truth) You are against Illegal Immigration, (Liberalism) You are against Immigration.
As you can see, one argument is quite different from the other.
Because of the success of the Liberals in this tactic, we are constantly questioning what we are doing...
For instance, the new Arizona Immigration Law is a shining example of a State taking responsibility for something that the Federal Government is failing to deal with. The Arizona law mirrors the Federal Legislation. Yes, somehow, the Arizona Law is Racist, while the Federal Law is OK...the only difference, or the thing that makes the Arizona law "racist" is the ENFORCEMENT of that law. If you don't enforce Federal Law, it isn't Racist, but if you enforce it, THEN you are racist.
Sounds about right...
The sad part is when the idiocy starts to influence thinking people to the point that they cannot see the forest for the trees...
Salt Lake police chief to talk immigration with US attorney general

I mean, really...

Troops to the Mexican border: Obama to send 1,200
I don't suppose the military can racially profile people? Hmmmm... lots of back talk and two-facedness going on here...
I cannot believe some of the garbage these guys are saying:
Salt Lake City police chief pleased with DC immigration meeting
"What is the criteria then to stop somebody if it's not race, color of their skin, the language that they speak or their ethnic background?"
--DUH! You stop them when they BREAK THE LAW!!
"One third of our population, to alienate them or to treat them differently than we do other people, well that's absolutely wrong,"
--WHAT? If they are ILLEGAL or if they are LEGAL IMMIGRANTS we DO NOT treat them differently! They are required by LAW to have their papers! They are REQUIRED BY LAW to be here LEGALLY!
If 1/3rd of our population is her illegally, then YES, we treat them like Criminals because they ARE criminals!
We all know that isn't the case, but those that are "legal" and are "obeying the law" have nothing to fear! The rest, well, GET THEM! Punish Them for Breaking Our Laws! WOuld you say that we shouldn't treat the criminals in our state, regardless of race, differently than other people? Take race out of the equation! If they are IMMIGRANTS from the Planet Mars and they are here ILLEGALLY, the YES, we treat them like criminals because they ARE!
Ug!

Utah Proving Itself Again!
I like Utah. Life here, while maybe not "elevated", it is definitely "slower" than in other places I have lived. More relaxed, nicer people, and the laws are fairly good when it comes to self protection and individual rights.
The Education system is doing more with less, and the people are Religious and (for the most part) Politically active. (see ya, Bennett!)
Now, we are also seeing some other good reports (Utah is usually one of the "top ten" places to live, and here is why):
Violent crime down; some Utahns say they see it
Salt Lake City ranks high for health, livability

Get Gephardt Investigation: Can A Machine Really Make Your Water Healthier?
Can we say "snake oil"?
I believe in using water in your daily diet to help with "healthy living", but I doubt there is anything that you could do to your water, asside from drinking natural spring water, that could help you.
E-books not selling well at schools
I used one of these once, it was great, and saved me up to 50% on the book. I think the biggest problem is, some people don't have a laptop or whatever to read one of these books on, and others like to have physical pages, etc. But if you could highlight, make notes, etc, in the book, you could benefit from an e-book, especially if it saved you 50% or more on the cost!

Interesting...do we need to blind justice? Put her eyes out? What?
Study Shows Standing Up To Bullies Is Good For You
What I want to know is HOW DO I GET THE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO DO THESE KINDS OF STUDIES!?!?!?!?
Seriously, folks, if the Government has enough money to blow on this kind of study, they are taking too much of your money in taxes!
I mean, really, DUH!
(How about that story last year about the 3 million study about why men don't like condoms? Seriously, 3 million to figure that one out? DUH!!)
