Taxpayer/citizen/voter alert:

---------------------------------------------

Article in this morning's Post and Courier states that the Obama Administration has (wait for it) "working outside Congress, finalized a deal to provide Israel's military with $38B during the next ten years."

Pretty sure this is NOT what our FF had in mind when they debated long and hard over one hot, mosquito-filled, no-breeze, no a/c summer in Philly, eventually creating a three headed govt intended to provide checks and balances on each other. Animal Farm continues.

We have strayed so far from those first realistic ideals it isn't even funny. WW II gave birth to our national intelligence gathering system, eventually becoming the overbearing and thoroughly out of control CIA. Under Allen Dulles and his brother John, Sec. of State, the U.S. embarked on its present-day course of international interference in the affairs of other nations, and hasn't looked back. The list of countries and their leaders we have invaded/overthrown in the name of American Business is legend. Let us not put aside the millions of civilians in all countries who suffered and died as well.

Fast forward to this week. Yet again, Mr. Otero has gone around Congress and authorized a Memorandum of Understanding package of military assistance. These MOUs are routine, unfortunately. Not all are approved or orchestrated through Congress. This, after knuckling under to a nuclear authorization treaty with Israel's declared enemy, Iran, who has publicly, openly sworn to eliminate Israel from the face of the Earth.

Darn right Mr. Otero wants Slithery to replace him. Some idiot has to keep the lunacy going.

Meanwhile, Mr. Otero's administration is suing the state of North Carolina for having the audacity to pass a law that never should have been necessary, requiring men to use men's rooms and women to use women's rooms, i.e. using the room that matches the gender on their birth certificate. What a concept. This, is what we have fallen to: a law dictating where each of the only two sexes that I know of, must tinkle. Excellent.

That's your morning update. Enjoy your coffee. Oh, by the way, your govt is broke. Nope, I have no idea where money for Israel is going to come from. Probably from money set aside for: Social Security; Infrastructure Repair and Replacement; Education; Mental Health; Veteran Care; Homeless Care; Storm Cleanup, etc. Welcome to the new America.
