Baby Blue Ivy

January 9th, 2012 · My Opinion

Congratulations to Beyonce and her man.  They are now parents of a sweet baby girl. But I do wonder how that child will feel as she grows up with such a strange name? I have often thought of this when I hear anyone , not just celebrities, naming a new baby with weird names.

I would love to hear from my readers on this one. How about some of  the names of the past? I thought Oprah was strange, but then again how about some of the ones we’ve heard in the past years? Apple for a little girl. How does she feel now that she’s older? I know there are boys with some strange names, too, but most of those are playing baseball and football it seems. They have gone above their given names.

Do you have a strange name? Or one with an unusual spelling? If so, what reason did your parents give you when you inquired about your name? I know I was named for a movie star my Mother liked a the time.  And my brothers also. I guess my parents had no imagination as we all have what are called “common” names.  Is having an unusual name a good thing or a bad one? Comments anyone???

Baby Lisa Irwin missing in Missouri

October 13th, 2011 · Missing or abused children

It’s been a week now since her parents told police someone had kidnapped Lisa right out of her crib overnight. Lisa will be a year old next month. Police are hoping someone will come forward with information as to who took her or where she can be found. At first the parents cooperated with police, then stopped. They are now talking again with authorities.

According to the police report Lisa’s father Jeremy Irwin came home from night shift work only to find lights on, the window open and the baby gone. Her mother Deborah Bradley had reportedly been sleeping. Searches have been ongoing in the past few days.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Associated Press / The Huffington Post)

Please, if you have seen her or know of anyone suddenly having a 1 year old baby, report to the police. Even if it’s not Lisa at least you know you will have tried to help.

Do it yourself bed bug control…why it’s not a good idea

October 13th, 2011 · Pest Control

The Center for Disease Control recently published a report informing the public about misuse of pest control materials to get rid of bedbugs. The report states 1 person died and over 100 got ill from using pesticides on their own to kill bedbugs. This was between 2003 and 2010. This report is in the weekly report of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality report.

The most common reason for these illnesses was overuse of the pesticides. Human toxicity can happen when consumers don’t read the labels and follow directions when applying the materials. Pyrethroids and Pyrethrins were used and implicated in 99 of 111 illnesses reported.

The CDC is urging consumers to have certified professional exterminators treat the bedbug situations. When choosing an exterminator make sure the company is licensed to treat bedbugs.

Amanda Knox free

October 3rd, 2011 · My Opinion

I have been following the recent news about Amanda Knox, the Seattle woman who was in the Italian jail system after police there determined she killed her room mate. However, due to some sloppy detective work and the ability to have forensics re-evaluate the evidence, she is now a free woman. Makes you wonder how things would have been if not for the science of forensics.

Decades ago Amanda would have been in jail for the full term. Forensics is a newer science, one which has new discoveries all the time. It has always fascinated people and has become one of the many parts of a good detective show on tv or in the movies. Forensics will be first and foremost in all crime scenes. Amanda can thank the people who do this science for her freedom  today.

So you want Obama to win a Second term? Read this

September 5th, 2011 · General, My Opinion

 GOD help us if this happens

There’s not a doubt in my mind that Dr. Williams is correct and we’re going to be in for another four years unless he’s impeached by our Congress.
DR. WILLIAMS predicts that Obama can not  lose the 2012 election.

IN  ADDITION TO THE VOTING BLOCKS HE MENTIONS, THERE IS ANOTHER HUGE  GROUP:  THE NEARLY ONE-HALF OF ALL ADULTS DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES  AND, IN FACT, MOST OF THEM RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THESE  PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO “SHAKE THE BOAT” TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP  THE FLOW OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO THEMSELVES.
Dr. Williams  prediction:  Maybe you have read some newspaper articles  written by Dr. Williams a conservative economist who happens to be  Black. He has taught at several Universities and is currently  teaching at George Mason University.

No Matter  What

By Dr. Walter  Williams

Can  President Obama be defeated in 2012?  No.  He  can’t.    I am going on record as saying that  President Barak Obama will win a second term.

The media won’t tell  you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of  millions (or in Obama’s case billions) of dollars to them in  advertising.

But the truth is,  there simply are no conditions under which Barak Obama can be  defeated in 2012.
 The  quality of the Republican candidate doesn’t matter.   Obama gets reelected.  Nine percent unemployment?   No problem.  Obama will win.  Gas  pricesmoving toward five  dollars a gallon?  He still wins.  The economy soars  or goes into the gutter.  Obama wins.  War in the  Middle East?  He wins a second term.

America’s role as the  leading Superpower disappears?  Hurrah for Barak  Obama!  The U.S. government rushes toward bankruptcy, the  dollar continues to sink on world markets and  the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation  fueled by Obama’s extraordinary deficit spending?  Obama  wins handily.

You are  crazy Williams.  Don’t you understand how volatile  politics can be when overall economic, government, and world  conditions are declining?  Sure I do.

And that’s why I know  Obama will win.  The American people are notoriously  ignorant of economics.  And economics is the key to why  Obama should be defeated.

Even when Obama’s  policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the  American people are going to believe the bait-and-switch  tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use  to explain why it isn’t his fault.  After all, things  were much worse than understood when he took  office.

Obama’s reelection is  really a very, very simple math problem.  Consider the  following:

1) Blacks will vote  for Obama blindly.  Period.  Doesn’t matter what he  does.  It’s a race thing.  He’s one of  us,
 
 2)  College educated women will vote for Obama.  Though they  will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory.   It’s really not more complex than  that,3)  Liberals will vote for Obama.  He is their great  hope,

4)  Democrats will vote for Obama.  He is the leader of their  party and his coat tails will carry them to victory  nationwide,

5)  Hispanics will vote for Obama.  He is the path to  citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders  recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic  Party,

6) Union  members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama.  He is their  key to money and power in business, state and local  politics,

7) Big  Business will support Obama.  They already have.  He  has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained  largely from his connections with Big Business and  is gaining more everyday.  Big Business loves Obama  because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they  support his social and political  agenda,

8) The  media love him.  They may attack the people who work for  him, but they love him.  After all, to not love him would  be racist,

9) Most  other minorities and special interest groups will vote for  him.  Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and  Muslims will support him because they won’t vote  Republican.  American Indians will  support him.  Obviously homosexuals tend to vote  Democratic.  And lastly,

10) Approximately half  of independents will vote for Obama.  And he doesn’t need  anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups  previously mentioned.  The President will win an  overwhelming victory in 2012.

 –  Dr.  Walter  Williams


Obituary-Very  Interesting!
Born  1776, Died 2008

It  doesn’t hurt to read this several times.
Professor  Joseph Olson of Hamline  University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota , points out  some interesting facts concerning the last  Presidential  election:
  • Number of  States won by: Obama:19 McCain:  29
  • Square miles  of land won by: Obama:580,000McCain:  2,427,000
  • Population  of counties won by: Obama:127millionMcCain: 143  million
  • Murder rate  per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2  McCain: 2.1
Professor  Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won  was mostly the land owned  by the taxpaying citizens of the  country.

Obama  territory mostly encompassed  those citizens living in low  income tenements and  living off variousforms of government  welfare…”

Olson believes the United States is  now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of  Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy, with some forty  percent of the nation’s population already having reached the  ”governmental dependency” phase.If Congress  grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal  invaders called illegal’s – and they vote – then we can say  goodbye to the USA in fewer  than five years.If you are in favor of this, then by all means,  delete this message.

If you are not,  then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much  is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest  danger to our freedom.
