Posse Comitatus Elimination

The lamestream media told you:

 “New Post To Help Military Respond To U.S. Disasters” according to Dan Elliott writing for the Associated Press. http://tinyurl.com/3d8xbxe

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

“Effort to Eliminate Posse Comitatus Protection Underway”

This story is so bad I have to pull it apart piece by piece.

Lamestream: “The Defense Dept. is grooming a new type of commander to coordinate the military response to domestic disasters, hoping to save lives by avoiding some of the chaos that plagued the Hurricane Katrina rescue effort.”

Ombudsman: Using FEMA and federal incompetence during the Katrina disaster as an excuse, someone in the chain of military command, probably right at the top, is planning to actually name officers in charge of using military force against the public.

"Birthers" vs. Media

The lamestream media told you:

Right-wing radicals will attack our beloved president in any way they can, and that alone makes their charges ridiculous and not worthy of discussion. Birthers are lunatics. Obama released his birth certificate. Any presidential candidate who questions Mr. Obama's legitimacy deserves derision.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

When presidential contender Rick Perry was asked during a "news" interview if he sides with The Birthers (people who don't believe BHO is a natural born citizen since he failed to prove it), or who question  Obama's citizenship, instead of evading the question, the proper response would have been to ask back: All I'm wondering is why the White House would release that birth certificate that every expert who examined it declared was doctored. Why would the White House do that? You news people must have investigated that, right? What did you find, what was your conclusion?

Why did they do it, and where is the real McCoy? Isn't presenting a falsified birth document an offense? Who would be guilty of what in this case? What do you mean you don't know? Can you articulate a reason why the entire national media would fail to investigate a clearly falsified document released by the White House?

Gun-Free Presidential Debates

The lamestream media told you:

Look -- over here -- look, it's economic policy, and jobs, and not enough jobs, and economic policy, and the debt, and the deficit, and government waste, and jobs and economics, and, and, and...

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Not a single presidential candidate in any debate so far has mentioned guns. The Second Amendment -- the number one issue for huge numbers of Americans, has been hidden from view, avoided, virtually censored, never raised. Have you noticed, or has the clamor about economy blinded you so effectively?

None of the reporters ask where the candidates stand on gun rights. No one asks about Fast and Furious, or brings it up. What a great forum for confronting the Obama Administration on flat out malfeasance, and stonewalling, and felony gun smuggling for political ends. Won't somebody raise the issue, just once, and get the nation talking.

By narrowing down the examination of the presidential contenders to a small handful of related issues, the public is being shortchanged, transparency is absent, and, and, and, we haven't gotten a frickin clue where these people stand on the right to keep and bear arms.

Here's betting that if and when the subject finally comes up, the wannabees mouth pablum, and the interviewers let them all slide without cutting deep. That's an easy prediction -- the lamestream perpetrators (accent on the last two syllables) don't know enough about guns or gun policy to ask incisive questions. OK, I'll suggest one, "So, if you stand in such vigorous support of the Second Amendment, do you support marksmanship training in schools?"

Cops Overpower Military

The lamestream media told you:

9/17/11, Airbase is put on lock down in scare
TUCSON - For six hours on Friday, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base was locked down while authorities from multiple agencies scoured the sprawling base for a gunman. After conducting a search "floor by floor, room by room," said Col. John Cherrey, commander of the base, "no gunman or weapon was found," and said the base was locked down following an unconfirmed report of a gunman who had entered a building. Authorities from the FBI, the Tucson Police Department and the Tucson Fire Department joined base officials in the search, which also involved multiple SWAT teams. A military official told the Associated Press and NBC News that a man was holed up in a building on the base. The discrepancy was not explained.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Of all the unmitigated outrageous insults that have been forced upon this nation, requiring the police to protect the military may be the absolute worst. The idea that a lone maniac ("gunman" cited three times in just two sentences), is grounds for incapacitating an entire U.S. military base is preposterous. Requiring police to search an Air Force base for a (non-existent in this case) villain is the height of emasculation. The reporter failed to note that the military is a heavily armed force capable of toppling nations.

You're Americans, you should remember this: If anyone attacks our military, the attackers have signed their death warrants, and the military is always unconditionally authorized to respond and execute the warrant. Why police and SWAT teams and the FBI and the fire department (the fire department?) were called in was unclear at press time.

In America, we don't send in police to do the military's job. C'mon fellas, get real. Someone in the chain of command (the military and the media) should have questioned this bizarre travesty, put a stop to it. Reams of expensive reports are likely to come out of the event.

Miltary leaders: Stand up to this abuse, never let mere police be responsible for your protection, keep them off base and mobilize your troops. Call in cops only when it's time to remove the trash (dead or alive), and help reverse this insidious attack on America from her domestic enemies. Cops are good, serve important purposes. This ain't one of them.

Election Results Missing

The lamestream media told you:

The Republicans won a serious upset on Tuesday, a bad sign for Mr. Obama. In New York, the heavily Democrat district with 40% Jewish population rejected a fellow Jew in favor of a Catholic. Voter registration is 3 - 1 against Republicans there. A poll says 54% of people there disapprove of Obama, 43% approve, and only 29% of independents say they approve. The 9th District has gone with a Democrat for nearly a century.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Associated Press reporter Beth Fouhy's story was packed with statistics, but somehow omitted the actual election results. Numbers like that don't matter, right? And average readers are confused by numbers. Since the reporter didn't even use adjectives like landslide or squeaker, the Uninvited Ombudsman figured it was worth a look. A lot of online sources left out the numbers. With 70% of the vote counted, the spread was large and expected to grow. I figure I may as well leave the figures out too.

How Is Gabrielle Giffords Doing?

The lamestream media told you:

Nothing, except everything is fine. Not even the National Enquirer has obtained and released photos, in one of the most thorough blackouts of information in "news" media history.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

According to a knowledgeable private source in Tucson, where Congresswoman Giffords was assaulted and shot, "she is speaking in one-word and one-phrase expressions, and using a lot of hand gestures. She can take a few steps, and is weak on the right side. She is also expressing great frustration with not being able to say more, and recognizes Nelson. She called him by name." She still holds her democrat seat in Congress, but hasn't voted since the day before the crime. Rumors abound that her handlers will run her for office next time around, regardless of her ability to do the job, and she has gathered large sums for a campaign. We all hope she recovers from her wounds.

Government Shutdown Baloney

The lamestream media told you:

The government may have to shut down if republicans and democrats can't reach agreement on a budget. At issue are 31 billion in cuts democrats want to make that republcans say are not enough.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Just when you thought the "news" media could not treat us any more stupidly, they out do themselves with a repeat of a story that was total hogwash last time, and even more baloney this time.

The federal government does not shut down during a media-hyped shutdown.

You cannot shut down a national forest, and the tress and animals are laughing at you.

The troops overseas continue to reload and fire.

Everyone who is supposed to get a paycheck gets it, perhaps a little late.

Many get their paychecks with bonuses and compensation for their discomfort.

Homeland Security, the FBI, CIA, IRS, ATF, FAA, FCC, DEA, and the rest of the alphabet soup bureaucrats and enforcers go to work same as usual. Those who are put on leave get paid time off, which will show up in their next paychecks.

No one loses any money, except the taxpayers who pay for the time off and get no service in return (if you can call some of what they do service).

Threatening the public with government shutdowns is a humiliating insult.

Cutting $100 billion from the budget (the original goal) is such a small amount it is laughable. We have nearly that much waste and fraud just in Medicare, according to the government's own figures.

To get an idea of how small $100 billion is these days to the government, look at this. This fellow uses a penny (one penny) to represent $2 billion dollars. Then he covers a huge table with stacks of five pennies to represent the U.S. budget. Then he takes one penny, cuts it in half, cuts the half in half, and puts three quarters of the penny back on its stack. That's how much money we're talking about removing from the budget. It's nothing.

And it shows you why government has gotten so powerful. By taking money from each of us, they amass an unfathomably large fortune, and then use it against us in innumerable ways, and cry that if they change anything the whole system will shut down.

Meanwhile, out here, we're hoping and praying for a shudown. A day or three without government would be a good thing, don't you think?

Whose Budget Is It Anyway?

The lamestream media told you:

Mr. Obama has released his fiscal year budget for 2012, a document of more than 2,000 pages, with an overall cost of $NNN. Congress has not yet commented.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Does anyone recall when the executive branch began releasing a budget to Congress? Shouldn't it be the other way around? If I recall: "All bills for raising Revenue shall ORIGINATE in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills. (Article I, Section 7, emphasis added).

The office of the president is free to say whatever it wants of course. But the idea that vast monies and efforts are spent to produce 2,000 pages of spending plans, from a branch that lacks authority to act on such plans, strikes The Uninvited Ombudsman as bass ackwards. But what do I know. Finance is not my strong suit. I'm best at reading plain English.

According to the White House (a non-human that cannot make statements, no other author was identified): "The Presidents 2012 Budget is a responsible approach..."

A simple review of the main features as described by the non-human white building reveals that few of the items proposed are authorized by the U.S. Constitution, the olden document that no longer controls the nation's rulers. For example, "Reforms K-12 school funding by supporting high standards..." and "Builds a next-generation, wireless broadband network..." and "Establishes 20 new Economic Growth Zones..." and there's a lot more in 2,000 pages... http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/overview

By the numbers, the guy wants Congress to spend $3.7 trillion, but only plans to collect from us taxpayers $2.6 trillion, so he, without any remorse or regret, plans to go in broke tank for $1.1 trillion. A trillion dollars, a number too large for anyone -- even a person with an economics degree -- to comprehend, is a thousand billion dollar bills. A billion dollars, also too large to truly comprehend, is a thousand million dollar bills. In plain English, that's a lot of your money.

Oh, wait. This is about spending, not raising revenue. Do I have that right?

Biden Disburses Cash

The lamestream media told you:

CHISINAU, Moldova -- U.S. vice president Joe Biden, fresh off a tough speech on Russian human rights, sided firmly Friday with Moldova's Europe-minded leader over opponents pressing for closer ties to Moscow... As the first U.S. vice president ever to visit Moldova, he pledged $262 million in aid over five years, according to Jonathan Weisman, writing for the Wall Street Journal. The story got coverage from most lamestream outlets in America.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703597804576194534027327912.html

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

An exhaustive study shows that vice president Joe Biden lacks any power or authority whatsoever to promise money to, well, anyone, actually, including tiny Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, which may seek to become a member of the failing European Union.

The U.S. Constitution delegates spending to acts of Congress, and Congress did not act, or reportedly even know about the vice president's plan to abscond with more than a quarter billion dollars of taxpayer funds and give them away. The former communist-dominated nation has untold numbers of former communists still in power, a point which went unmentioned in "news" coverage.

No arrests have been made or are expected, and no investigation is planned because, "He's the vice president for Pete's sake," according to one unnamed co-conspirator, confirming remarks from three bureaucrats who will be writing the checks to Moldova, using your money and mine. Public outrage among U.S. citizens, well, there wasn't any, because it happens so often the public has grown weary.

Time.com reported that: "Anyone living within firing range of Biden's route through the capital city, Chisinau, was ordered to lock up their guns. Manhole covers were soldered shut to make sure no bad guys could spring from the sewers. Volunteers handed out little American flags..."

Mr. Obama is now a centrist, reporters report

The lamestream media told you:

"A Centrist Obama To Take Stage, by Peter Nicholas and Christi Parsons, Tribune Washington Bureau. President Obama plans to use his State of the Union speech Tuyesday to articulate a centrist vision that will shape the remaining two years of his term, and provide a template for his re-eelction campaign." Similar reports appeared in "news" media nationwide.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

In one of the most blatant examples of unmitigated propaganda ever seen in America, Tribune newspapers has dared to call the person currently in the White House a centrist in a headline setting the stage for the State of the Union speech tomorrow. Despite outrageously leftist moves in recent weeks and for the past two years, the man whose actions and self-avowed principles border on direct marxism is described as a moderate. The move is likely to influence many people who cannot think straight but are still able to vote.

“Perhaps the editors forgot about his centerpiece health-care takeover, which could only be enacted through chicanery, or all the bills he signed during the lame-politician session just a few weeks ago,” says one unidentified source who refused to be identified. “It's possible,” she said. She referred to the spate of bills enacted by legislators voted out of office before they were actually out of office, and signed by Mr. Obama last month.

According to the olden Constitution, a primary purpose of the speech planned for Tuesday is to give Congress a report on the State of the Union. No mention of any such content was made in "news" announcements, which were mere repetitions of handouts given or leaked from inside the White House, and the apparent source of the word "centrist." No reporters asked about the constitutional element of the speech, and none are expected to ask about it after the speech.

In other news, despite assurances from the new governor of Hawaii to out the sitting president, no new information has been released regarding Mr. Obama's birth certificate, which remains a closely guarded secret, if it exists at all. “The entire controversy can be washed away clean and easy with one simple move," said The Uninvited Ombudsman. “Just show the birth certificate. I can't imagine why he wouldn't do that and end the problem,” the mild-mannered media watchdog said.

The administration has released a piece of modern computer-generated paper that claims a Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii, but it is not an actual birth certificate. The hospital where the birth supposedly took place remains a mystery, along with the doctor who supposedly presided over the delivery. Neither the doctor nor the hospital are indicated on the paper the White House approved for release, which has satisfied many people who support the person currently in the White House.
