New York is Arizona in reverse - Pennsylvania may station troopers at the border to stop fleeing NY residents from heading south.<br /><br />From the <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/ny_turns_into_flee_market_ZhSgLLASSZQcppjnOSP4vI">NY Post</a>:<br /><blockquote><em>Taxed-out New Yorkers are voting with their feet, with a staggering 1.6 million residents fleeing the state over the last decade, a new report found. <br /><br />That's as if the entire populations of Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, White Plains and West Babylon combined had packed up and left. <br /><br />For the second consecutive decade, New York led the nation in the percentage of residents leaving for other states, according to the report by the Empire Center for State Policy. <br /><br />The population loss is "the ultimate barometer of New York's attractiveness as a place to work, live and do business," said the report's co-author, E.J. McMahon. "It's the ultimate indication that we've been doing things wrong." </em></blockquote>This is reminiscent of mass migrations of artic caribou, swallows to Capistrano and Berliners manifesting their displeasure with the communist government of East Germany. <blockquote><em>Most analysts blamed New York's high taxes and skyrocketing cost of living for the mass exodus. <br /><br />The Tax Foundation ranked New York highest in the nation in the combined state and local tax burden in 2008. And as small-business lobbyist Mike Durant noted, New York has also "consistently ranked worst or in the top three worst in business climate. <br /><br />"You can't suck every penny out of people and expect them to remain in New York," added Durant, New York state director of the National Federation of Independent Business. <br /><br />Since 1960, New York has lost 7.3 million residents to other states -- a net loss of 2.5 million people after adding in an influx of 4.8 million new immigrants, the study found. <br /><br />Even counting the state's high influx of immigrants, New York still suffered a bigger net loss than all but three other states during the last decade, according to the analysis of 2010 Census data by the fiscally conservative think tank.</em></blockquote>Where fools reign, the people suffer. <br />NY State government is Chock Full O'Fools and many people have had enough.sig94http://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23833865.post-45886600300756771802011-03-27T19:37:00.002-04:002011-03-27T19:38:57.782-04:00Biden's Big Surprise<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zChJ8O3zPDXVmmeXsMbZIc8VbEOUXrJatTr0pc6scwelYrBbhPZj5RElxo7egjzqcygyo5IzhJz1Odk0VwlBlAX1hI00zBZouqASXWofJv4FNs82Rxyru65MUhMD8ihfrJpz8g/s1600/automotivator.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 486px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588908061758159954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zChJ8O3zPDXVmmeXsMbZIc8VbEOUXrJatTr0pc6scwelYrBbhPZj5RElxo7egjzqcygyo5IzhJz1Odk0VwlBlAX1hI00zBZouqASXWofJv4FNs82Rxyru65MUhMD8ihfrJpz8g/s400/automotivator.jpg" /></a>sig94http://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23833865.post-71430142979991066352011-03-17T18:57:00.004-04:002011-03-17T19:11:06.555-04:00I've Been Busy Elsewhere.I have not been very active here lately because I have taken over the old Goomba News Network, now called <a href="http://itdontmakesense.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">It Don't Make Sense</span></a>.

Smithtown is a pretty quiet burg so it is rare that I see anything in the news from there. Today I was surprised and not happy at all to see this.

Cops are still investigating, but have so far ruled the tragic crash as an accident.<br /><br />“He was just a really good guy, full if vigor and he loved his family,” Gallagher said of his fallen son-in-law. “It’s a tragedy.”<br /><br />Byrne, a member of the Army National Guard’s Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment, was deployed to Afghanistan in January, 2008, his family said.<br /><br />He was in a Humvee when a suicide bomber attacked nearby, killing nine and severely injuring Byrne.</em></p></blockquote>Read more <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/afghan_vet_struck_by_car_killed_16VXwmVBkVR3f6eTFQrzIN#ixzz1FCn4a4nI">here</a>.sig94http://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23833865.post-5329161385161048282011-02-15T21:47:00.006-05:002011-02-15T22:20:51.393-05:00Islam In Action: Model Muslim Career Women<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-fC6RL7jazn3fqJGeeoIwsMQ_GF4PR9GYovCKmGQd841zlcTzj0Ng0b4hZO-wm-U9RkrNw0GEHLR3scOlKQvzymLV0VHJjtVVD7SK3kyXCI13jxgK6ftf0xz8TWcc0KV2kClQA/s1600/images3.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 318px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574114193120906770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-fC6RL7jazn3fqJGeeoIwsMQ_GF4PR9GYovCKmGQd841zlcTzj0Ng0b4hZO-wm-U9RkrNw0GEHLR3scOlKQvzymLV0VHJjtVVD7SK3kyXCI13jxgK6ftf0xz8TWcc0KV2kClQA/s400/images3.bmp" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDeEzfoNqkXgvlDjJjUwEQoCMdFw6xlExLmQ6dZlgGXGtaoJ2r_NFYIRGzw_gOyXenpreGEPr7wnp4EzQ-AZUXSkFf8EcnNe4H_whL8h4ZLIdQIbJkvJq6q-d8gGFrQYRuocbJxg/s1600/images2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 379px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 277px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574114187685114354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDeEzfoNqkXgvlDjJjUwEQoCMdFw6xlExLmQ6dZlgGXGtaoJ2r_NFYIRGzw_gOyXenpreGEPr7wnp4EzQ-AZUXSkFf8EcnNe4H_whL8h4ZLIdQIbJkvJq6q-d8gGFrQYRuocbJxg/s400/images2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOqPybo7Q7nRJK-PDzU6KnAx2YXTpy-lbwN4OyUG3CuxcBwf4kC8exZehQgSoM6jYwhkhE8qcbUIvI2FylRQXKqFBuvaG8xYeL082nSntDyvsHKVuzd22XdrWwJfFPmNtNXMdUA/s1600/images1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 350px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574114191050788530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOqPybo7Q7nRJK-PDzU6KnAx2YXTpy-lbwN4OyUG3CuxcBwf4kC8exZehQgSoM6jYwhkhE8qcbUIvI2FylRQXKqFBuvaG8xYeL082nSntDyvsHKVuzd22XdrWwJfFPmNtNXMdUA/s400/images1.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVd4ow98B0BFhQgqKDCnFeKOcqjxlPo_RICnndXH-BlJr8e3Kg-hIAaXs1MGLNUvfwTQKK8s_BZvVcmpPKIjMEzhj7FSlz7GOA29xAps54PBquleeuxClrqzDijcBciU7oOr4PYg/s1600/tshirt.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 391px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574119547405751122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVd4ow98B0BFhQgqKDCnFeKOcqjxlPo_RICnndXH-BlJr8e3Kg-hIAaXs1MGLNUvfwTQKK8s_BZvVcmpPKIjMEzhj7FSlz7GOA29xAps54PBquleeuxClrqzDijcBciU7oOr4PYg/s400/tshirt.bmp" /></a><br /></div>sig94http://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23833865.post-52910501886260116872011-02-12T10:22:00.009-05:002011-02-12T14:17:11.740-05:00Our Southern Sieve With Mexico<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhouHrl2jHXWonhUQMv3qSqTn5N0dsWvJEhiX8nJJfxxIlw35VySdiTib_X5vXgDI9znnxo5UfbgWbzS1PypOlBCx9TbK-yIyJbx4wQ8lhKDxro8JzHMFiQjt5nn8aBsI3x9D_FFA/s1600/images.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 168px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572847458947664498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhouHrl2jHXWonhUQMv3qSqTn5N0dsWvJEhiX8nJJfxxIlw35VySdiTib_X5vXgDI9znnxo5UfbgWbzS1PypOlBCx9TbK-yIyJbx4wQ8lhKDxro8JzHMFiQjt5nn8aBsI3x9D_FFA/s400/images.jpg" /></a>Jose Madrigal </div><div align="center"><em>Mexican Rapist deported nine times</em></div><em></em><div align="left"><br />While the idiots in charge of the Department of Homeland Security stick their fingers in their ears and yell, "Our borders are secure," criminals from other nations cross our borders with little or no government interference to wreck havoc on Americans.

What the hell are these people doing here in the first place?<br /><br /></div><em><blockquote>ICE agents “do not always record and retain critical information and documentation used to determine the status of foreign-born inmates incarcerated in federal and state prisons,” the report stated. “This is because ICE procedures do not require agents to record and retain such information.”<br /><br />“As a result, ICE is unable to provide assurance that its [Criminal Alien Program] agents are screening all potentially removable foreign-born inmates incarcerated in federal and state correctional facilities,” the report continued.<br /><br />According to the IG report, the screening under the criminal alien removal program refers to “electronic records check and interview that [ICE] agents may conduct to determine if a foreign-born inmate is removable.”<br /><br />[...] “ICE estimates that 300,000 to 450,000 criminal aliens who are eligible for removal are detained each year at federal, state, and local correctional facilities,” the IG report stated.</blockquote><div align="left"></em>The blog, <a href="http://vitalsignsblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/prison-inmates-supposed-to-be-deported.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Vital Signs</span></a>, describes one particular Mexican who makes mockery of our borders, our laws and feeds on our citizens. </div><blockquote><p><em>Last <a href="http://vitalsignsblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/rapist-of-disabled-woman-had-been.html"><span style="color:#000000;">October</span></a> I posted here on Vital Signs Blog about Jose Lopez Madrigal, a Mexican citizen who had recently arrested for raping a young, "slightly disabled" woman in Edmonds, Washington. </em></p><p><em>I pointed out that, "Once investigators worked their way through Madrigal's 30 aliases, they discovered he had an incredible criminal record dating back to 1989 and ranging all over the western part of the United States.

From the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704364004576132421415193268.html?KEYWORDS=James+Taranto"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Wall Street Journal</span></a>:<br /><br /><em><blockquote>Judge Roger Vinson's order last week declaring ObamaCare unconstitutional has prompted a pair of op-eds by professors at elite law schools: Akhil Reed Amar of Yale, in the Los Angeles Times, and Laurence Tribe of Harvard, in the New York Times. Both profs claim ObamaCare is constitutional.<br /><br />We were going to write "argue" rather than "claim," but we think that may be too generous. Neither article is a serious piece of legal analysis, because both professors simply refuse to take seriously the legal arguments on the other side, even after those arguments have been accepted by two federal trial judges. Rather than grapple with a novel legal issue in a serious scholarly way, it's as if they stick their fingers in their ears and sing "Law law law law law."<br /><br />Amar's piece is just insulting. He opens by declaring: "My students understand the Constitution better than the judge," and closes by likening Vinson's order to (we're not kidding) the infamous Dred Scott case: "In 1857, another judge named Roger distorted the Constitution, disregarded precedent, disrespected Congress and proclaimed that the basic platform of one of America's two major political parties was unconstitutional."</blockquote></em>There's no way our liberties can survive under the onslaught of an activist judicial system, a socialist President and a Congress full of raving liberals. The system of checks and balances falls apart and tyranny is the ultimate result.<br /><br /><em><blockquote>[...] Tribe claims that the judges who overturned ObamaCare "made the confused assertion that what is at stake here is a matter of personal liberty--the right not to purchase what one wishes not to purchase--rather than the reach of national legislative power." That is false. Both judges concluded that Congress had exceeded its constitutional power, not that it had violated an individual constitutional right. </blockquote></em>And these clowns are law professors!<br /><br />As the old adage goes, "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach."sig94http://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23833865.post-76509539102093866322011-02-05T13:41:00.004-05:002011-02-05T14:48:41.488-05:00Benedict Obama<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY6BiUj8ZhcSDBMHASIQjzg63M-1tay_ItZhRbD_loAYAuGg2VGrmW6ShU_fmriy97p7_pufh79s_Zu3Z-n9Z-PGEjipA_CiEDFUPpfkMFh6PYPwTWX8tLNGXxl372gxOXmtiH4g/s1600/IMPEACH.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 250px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570292413972346994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY6BiUj8ZhcSDBMHASIQjzg63M-1tay_ItZhRbD_loAYAuGg2VGrmW6ShU_fmriy97p7_pufh79s_Zu3Z-n9Z-PGEjipA_CiEDFUPpfkMFh6PYPwTWX8tLNGXxl372gxOXmtiH4g/s400/IMPEACH.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="left">The recent WikiLeak enabled revelation that Obama compromised Britian's national security really should not surprise us.

In fact, 20 retirees make upwards of $90,000 in retirement, up to $132,360.<br /><br />[...]According to an October report from the Empire Center for New York State Policy, New York City has nearly $63 billion in unfunded liabilities for government retiree health benefits -- effectively shoveling $7,343 per city resident into public workers' pockets.</em></blockquote><p></p>Councilman Dan Halloran asked the feds to look into this after nearly a half dozen City workers informed him of the job action.<br /><blockquote><p align="justify"><em>The investigation by the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's public integrity unit was prompted by Queens Councilman Dan Halloran's revelation that guilt-wracked sanitation and transportation workers had confessed an alleged work slowdown to him.<br /><br />If the claim is true, the feds could examine whether wire or mail fraud statutes were violated by workers pocketing overtime pay during an illegal job action, sources said.</em></p></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><p align="justify">Of course not every worker is a lazy slug, but apparently enough are. If the union is found to be complicit in this action, look for some horrendous lawsuits that will break them. Hey, this is the Big Apple, look for lawsuits anyway.<br /><br /><br /></p><div></div>sig94http://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23833865.post-43052339201704236812010-12-23T12:45:00.003-05:002010-12-23T12:54:56.615-05:00A Christmas Gift From Our GI's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi_CTEK_P1PuNkqThb8b2GEVfKSqyfPj8B9QmJHDfiXbks37P-Jc7OC8h0FZWTGRQqbdmugrbcygO5gaFyG29nLcO9GHVcSdCAoQvOP53GVY4qHxBVHxIvBEZVfLSH66TTj7JcbQ/s1600/Max+Pro.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553937378243592402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi_CTEK_P1PuNkqThb8b2GEVfKSqyfPj8B9QmJHDfiXbks37P-Jc7OC8h0FZWTGRQqbdmugrbcygO5gaFyG29nLcO9GHVcSdCAoQvOP53GVY4qHxBVHxIvBEZVfLSH66TTj7JcbQ/s400/Max+Pro.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="left">I haven't been posting much due to illness.

I wonder if it is good in snow?<br /><br /></div><blockquote><p align="left"><em>In June 2008, USA Today reported that roadside bomb attacks and fatalities were down almost 90% partially due to MRAPs. "They've taken hits, many, many hits that would have killed soldiers and Marines in uparmored Humvees," according to Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Maj. General Rick Lynch, who commanded a division in Baghdad, told USA Today the 14-ton MRAPs have forced insurgents to build bigger, more sophisticated bombs to knock out the vehicles. Those bombs take more time and resources to build and set up, which gives U.S. forces a better chance of catching the insurgents in the act and then attacking them.</em><br /><br /></p></blockquote><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9EcbeeeM2XiSFpxsTeUWJkrvI2tK_O00aqdjA-qdppUQuyM9hd2oh6Vo5ScaY_bmZjolFxTDMG0MpU-TDktonFvOqRG5sYNT3y8iMQ3xVa0ZczGcBxbZHsO3XXgz7TFC_tLGzA/s1600/SDC11385.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552114418632989666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF9EcbeeeM2XiSFpxsTeUWJkrvI2tK_O00aqdjA-qdppUQuyM9hd2oh6Vo5ScaY_bmZjolFxTDMG0MpU-TDktonFvOqRG5sYNT3y8iMQ3xVa0ZczGcBxbZHsO3XXgz7TFC_tLGzA/s400/SDC11385.JPG" /></a></p><p align="center">This is Soldier Girl in the driver's seat.

It is a small Contingency Operation Post assigned with a unit from the 4th Infantry Division. She goes out on convoys assigned as a gunner in a MRAP. But this one is different; unlike the soldier who was wounded in the September post, her top mount fifty cal is equipped with a camera and electric drive. She operates it like a video game.
