The problem with public housing

The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners.  The people who live in the house did not earn the house, but were merely loaned the property by the actual owners, the taxpayers.

The residents resent their benefactors, because the very house is a constant reminder that they themselves have not earned the right to live in the house. They neither appreciate the value of the property nor understand the need to maintain or respect it in any way.

       

Note the common theme of the following photographs..... the village idiot has his feet on the furniture in EVERY picture... can anyone show more disrespect to furniture that isn't theirs ? 

The desk, built from timbers of the HMS Resolute

and a gift from Queen Victoria to President 

Rutherford B. Hayes is considered a national 

treasure and icon of the presidency.

The White House belongs to the people of America ...
Its treasures should NOT be used by ANYONE for a foot rest...!
These photos, ongoing proof that this man has no class whatsoever,
All show an innate disrespect for our White House.

SO, HERE'S A MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA :

Mr. Obama, you're not in a hut in Kenya or Indonesia , or in Chicago public housing.   You're in the White House, Barry... Property of the people of the United States ...

With all due respect, get your @#%*+#% feet off our furniture!

HUSBAND HAS PRICELESS RESPONSE TO WIFE'S CHEATING ADMISSION LETTER.

Dear Husband:

       I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you for good. I’ve been a good woman to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These past two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw.

       Last week, you came home and didn’t notice that I had gotten my hair and nails done, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new negligee. You came home and ate in two minutes and went straight to sleep after watching the game. You don’t tell me you love me anymore, you don’t touch me or anything.  Either you’re cheating or you don’t love me anymore, whatever the case is, I’m gone.

       P.S. If you’re trying to find me, don’t. Your BROTHER and I are moving away to West Virginia together!!!

       Have a great life. Your ex-Wife.

             

Dear ex-wife:

       Nothing has made my day more tan receiving your letter. It’s true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good woman is far cry from what you’ve been. I watch sports so much to try to drown out your constant nagging. Too bad doesn’t work. I did noticed when you cut off all your hair last week, the first thing that came to my mind was: “You look just like a man!” My mother raised me to not say anything if you can´t say anything nice.

       When you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.  I went to sleep on you when you had on that new negligee because the price tag was still on it. I prayed that it was a coincidence that my brother had just borrowed $50.00 from me that morning and your negligee was $49.99.

       After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica, but when I got home, you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess.

       I hope you have the fulfilling life you have always wanted. My lawyer said with the letter that you wrote, you won’t get a dime from me. So take care.

       P.S. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but Carl my brother was born Carla. I hope that’s not a problem. 

e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune

No matter which side you are on in this matter, this is unusually good.
This guy is hilarious... Here is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the
Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change
for the Washington Redskins.

Dear Mr. Page...

I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. I would
suggest, as in an email I received, they change the name of the Redskins
to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute
to the dick heads in our Washington Congress.

I agree with our Native American population. I am highly insulted by the
racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that
to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt
them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend,
and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move
forward.
Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the
Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference
the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the
Cleveland Browns.

The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of
militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white
folks.
The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team
named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to
that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives.
I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. It is totally inappropriate to have the New
Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.

Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and
pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the
Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!

Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to
our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or
even spending habits. It is a wrong message to our children.

The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a
growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children.

The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children.
The Milwaukee Brewers. Well that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children.

So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to
rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become
involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the
do-nothing Congress loves.

As a diehard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind,
suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon
State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers."

Ah, the purity of government and our trusted leaders.

Ah, the purity of government and our trusted leaders.  Just look at them.

 

Just thought you might be interested.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Folks: 

 

The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, most of which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the country. The sale of these properties will fetch about $19 billion.   

 

A regular real estate commission will be paid to the company that was given the exclusive listing for handling the sales.

 

That company is CRI and it belongs to a man named Richard Blum.   Richard Blum is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein and is shown with her in the picture above. (Most voters and many of the government people who approved the deal have not made the connection between the two because they have different last names).

 

Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune (EST at between $950 million and $1.1 billion!!) from these transactions. His company is the sole real estate on the sale. CRI will be making a minimum of 3% and as much as 6% commission on each and every sale.  All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars.

 

The U.S.P.S. is allowed free and clear, tax exempt use. The only cost to keep them open is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn't even have to pay county property taxes on these subject properties.   QUESTION?   Would you put your house in foreclosure just because you couldn't afford to pay the electric bill? 

 

Well, the folks in Washington have given the Post Office the OK to do it!   Worse yet, most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S, an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10 years! 

 

No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of billions of dollars’ worth of public assets. How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing and lobbying such a sweet deal?   Has our government become so elitist that they have no fear of oversight?   And it's no mere coincidence that these two public service crooks have different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type of transactions. 

 

Pass this info on before it's pulled from the Internet. 

 

I even verified it on Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/blum.asp  and Snopes usually puts a liberal spin on whatever it reports.

Professor Wichman E-mail

I am pleased to offer that Snopes says this one is genuine.

 

Professor Wichman E-mail
Claim: A Michigan professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country.
Status: True.
The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indred Wichman.
Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association.
The e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist.
The group had complained the cartoons were 'hate speech.'
============
Enter Professor Wichman.
==========================================
In his e-mail, he said the following:
===============================
Dear Muslim Association,
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest.
I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called 'whores' in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France.
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Muslims to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile 'protests.'
If you do not like the values of the West - see the First Amendment - you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose that option.
Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially, I. S. Wichman
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
=============================
As you can imagine,
The Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well.
They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded, that the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty,
And mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen.
Now, the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray.
CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good professor
Had the right to express his opinion.
========== For its part, the university is standing its ground in support of Professor Wichman,
Saying the e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks.
============================================================

German lessons of success!!!

Even though they didn’t come up with the championship trophy, they have been doing this for several World Cups. Something to highlight is that the World Cup always leaves several lessons after it finishes:

• German soccer game is in a transformation process, a process which
  doesn’t happen overnight, but it has taken several years instead. They haven’t been working on results, for instance, they didn’t change their coach when they didn’t win the World Cup back in 2010.
  Team work: While Brazil had Neymar and Argentina, in its first games depended on Messi, Germany had always a team; Costa Rica and Colombia are two other examples of team work. They were trying to scare Colombia by saying that without Falcao they wouldn’t go far in the tournament. They were wrong. Everybody told Costa Ricans, they were in the “Group of Death” and at the end, the others were the “death”!!! You can be told that the market in which you compete is very difficult, that there is a lot of competition… They can tell that and more, but they won’t be able to make you quit unless you mentally quit. Someone said: “If you play alone you may win a couple of games but if you play as a team, you’ll win tournaments”. It is so true and valid to succeed in business!!!
• Germany transformed their game from the “straight forward long
  pass” to the tactical game. They played a rational, well planned and effective game. This has shown the importance of strategy in any activity. It’s not a matter of playing a game for playing it but with the idea of winning it, and this requires a strategy. In business language we would say “They didn’t play hard but intelligently”.
• Mentality and discipline played its role. The game of the great ones
  is based on discipline. Champions know that sooner or later discipline overcomes talent and intelligence. This was well said by the talented Colombia Jorge Luis Pinto: “The problem is that in many Latin American countries there is a lot of talent but players are more interested into drinking and scandals than into the game!.
• Nothing, absolutely nothing big is won without discipline: not in
  sports nor in business.
  The winner’s mentality was evident: one thing is to go out and play the games so you won’t lose them and another thing is to play them to win. Take note on the difference and take it to business ¡How many people are out there doing business fearing they are going to lose?
  There are other (even better) lessons in this Brazil 2014 World cup. There are many others such as the ones from the young James and Cambell. Forget the idea of being the “right age” to succeed. Success doesn’t recognize ages. If you are young, start now… Remember what Rockefeller said “Youth is the time to plant and harvest… start early in your life and you won’t regret it”

• 
  

Just brilliant!!!

 

When Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and animosity towards him. Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him, as he expected.... There were always "arguments" and confrontations.

One day, Mr.. Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor.  The professor said, "Mr. Gandhi, you do not understand.  A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat."

Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor.  I'll fly away," and he went and sat at another table.

Mr.. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions.  Mr.. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question. "Mr. Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?"

Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course."

Mr.. Peters, smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, don't you think?"

Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, "Each one takes what he doesn't have."
Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied.  So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi. Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.

A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the professor and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone, "Mr.. Peters, you signed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade."

BRAZIL 2014 A VORTEX OF FEELINGS, PASSIONS, JOYS AND HOPES.

By Pedro G. Garcia.

 

Every four years the world spins around a soccer ball. National Soccer Teams from all over the planet begin their journey to the final voyage, the World Cup. This year, this worldwide television event is happening in Brazil.  32 teams divided in 8 groups are struggling to beat one another to become the best of all.

During these tournaments, we can always see three different types of contestants, the “Contenders”, among them we find teams like Brazil, Germany, Spain, Argentina, The Netherlands and Italy; these teams are considered the ones that are going to be fighting to the end to become World Champions.

The “participants”, here we find teams willing to have a good tournament by reaching for their best historical participation, among them we have Colombia, United States, Nigeria, Slovakia, Portugal and Ecuador.

There are also teams which are considered as “guests”, these are teams which have succeeded by just reaching a spot to the final 32 teams. Here we find teams like Australia, Honduras, Greece, Iran and Argelia. Their final purpose for these teams is to enjoy the experience and to seek for their best participation ever, along with a proud performance.

The case of the National Team of Mexico is different from the rest of the teams. Even though Mexico has never played a fifth game during a World Cup and even though it is not considered to be among the Main Figures, the fans, the ones in Mexico and the ones abroad, the journalists, the members of the Mexican Soccer Federation, coaches and players, keep on believing that “the current World Cup, is Mexico’s World Cup”; it does not matter that the previous round, the qualifying round is always a disaster. Mexico’s qualifying round for Brazil 2014 involved a “play off” against New Zealand, four coaches and over 150 players that were “tried” to see if they had what is needed to be at the World cup.

No matter who the coach is nor the players involved, Mexico’s National Team keeps on “suffering” to pass the qualification round, but it doesn’t matter, the fans are always there to support the team. Historically Mexico has always suffered when trying to qualify and that is so, that it has even been “eliminated” from 2 World Cups in the past (Germany 1974 and Spain 1982), but the faith of its fans never decreases. Mexican fans no matter what, are there to support their National Team even though probabilities are against them and even if the team is full of “divas” who are more interested in their personal promotion than playing with their heart and soul.

Every four years, speculation surrounds the World Cup, whether people talk about a player or about a team. For Brazil 2014 there are two main speculations, in one side, the “ghost” of the Brazilian tragedy, known as “Maracanazo”, keeps on “prowling” the environment. Experts, former coaches, former players, sport casters, Shamans and people in general are always “remembering” the disappointment suffered by the Brazilians when their National Soccer Team lost the title against Uruguay during World Cup held in Brazil back in 1950. The speculation rises as people talk about the event because they want to know if Brazil’s National Team is going to be able to overcome the “Maracanazo ghost” and become World Champions for the sixth timenow as hosts.

On the other hand, people are always speculating who the MVP is going to be; everybody wonders whether if Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar or somebody else is going to stand out as the best player of the tournament. The theories are based not in their real possibilities of standing out because their personal performance or their teams but in the likes of the fans; people just cheer up for whom they consider is the best player and they want to see him as the best.

The expectation about the teams and players, beyond the numbers, the statistics, the qualities and skills of the players or teams it is always linked to the personal desire of the fan , it is not base on real data but in the feelings of each one of the individuals who is sharing their opinion.

Therefore, when the time arrives for the soccer ball to roll, the teams will begin an odyssey towards the championship while the fans will go on their own pub-crawl of anguish and disappointment as the tournament advances and teams begin being eliminated.

At the end, no matter if your team advances or if it is eliminated in the first round, soccer fans always find an “alternative” team for which to feel affinity once your team is eliminated from the competition. Will Brazil be the team for Mexican fans as it has been at the World Cups since Mexico 70 or will it be a new team once the Tri (Three-Colored Team as it is known in Mexico) is eliminated? Taking in account that Mexico participates in the same group as the host and a defeat against the Verde Amarella, which is contemplated as granted could be the nail which will finally seals the coffin and therefore Mexican fans will blame Brazil for the teams elimination. All these doubts and speculations will have an answer at the end of the Championship match which will be held between the best two teams of the tournament on July 13^th 2014. 

 

Daughter of President Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, of fraud.

 Jeremiah Wright’s Daughter Convicted on 11 Counts of Fraud 

 

— REUTERS, First published March 8 2014

 

Somehow we all missed this one -- funny how that happens!!

 

‘Chickens Come Home to Roost’ – Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Daughter Convicted on 11 Counts of Fraud

 

In September Jeri Wright, daughter of Reverend “God Damn America” Wright, and 12 other Democrats were charged with embezzling $16 million in Federal health grants that should have gone to AIDS charities and other programs for the poor and needy.

More than one of the defendants had direct ties to President Barack Obama.

On Friday Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s daughter was found guilty of eleven counts that included money laundering and lying to federal agents.

Breitbart reported: On Friday, a federal jury took less than two hours to convict the daughter of President Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, of fraud.

Jeri Wright was found guilty of a fraud scheme that siphoned thousands of taxpayer dollars intended for a not-for-profit work and education program known as We Are Our Brother’s Keeper.

Prosecutor Timothy Bass said Jeri Wright lied “over and over” and went on a “spending spree” that included traveling to Las Vegas, buying vehicles, and remodeling her basement with cash from the money laundering scheme.

She was found guilty on all counts.

“If you take and misuse government money, and then lie about it, you will be held accountable in a court of law,” said U.S. Attorney for the Central District of Illinois, Jim Lewis.

 

To be sentenced on 7 July 2014.
