Tuesday TSA Grope Open Comments

The “TSA bill” passed out of the Texas House last night. The Senate will vote on it, then I think it has to go back to the House. By midnight tomorrow.

The bill passed despite resistance from House Speaker Joe Straus, who dismissed it as “an ill-advised publicity stunt,” saying he wanted to “send a message without actually harming commercial aviation in Texas” (a reference to U.S. Attorney John E. Murphy’s warning that the TSA might be forced to shut down Texas airports) and “without making the Texas Legislature a laughingstock.” The ball is now back in the state Senate’s court, with two more days to go in the special legislative session.

    You da man, Scott. Thanks for hanging tough.

    Sunday was an historic day in the state of Wisconsin.

    Governor Scott K. Walker put pen to paper and signed his first two-year budget. It erases a defict of more than $3 billion dollars, ushers in significant education reforms and freezes local property taxes…all without raising taxes. When you add in the chaotic atmosphere in Madison and the tumultuous nature of politics in the Badger State, what Walker has accomplished in such a short time is quite remarkable.

    President Obama Back at Low on His Handling of the Economy
    Jun 28 06:04 AM US/Eastern

    NEW YORK, June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — After a few months of inching upwards, President Obama’s rating on how he is handling the economy is moving downward, tying his lowest rating ever, in of October of last year. This month just one-quarter of Americans (27%) give the President positive ratings on the overall job he is doing on the economy while almost three-quarters (73%) give him negative marks. Last month, one-third (32%) gave him positive marks and 68% gave the president negative ratings on the economy.

    http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=xprnw.20110628.NY26554&show_article=1

    He’s so unpopular that even Kenyans are saying he was born in the United States.

    Dinghy Harry to the rescue!

    Senate weighing in on Obama policy on Libya
    Jun 28 03:06 AM US/Eastern

    WASHINGTON (AP) – Senators will have their say on President Barack Obama’s decision to involve U.S. forces in the military operation against Libya.

    On Tuesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is to quiz State Department legal adviser Harold Koh about Obama’s claim that he doesn’t need congressional authorization for the attacks because they aren’t full-blown hostilities and the U.S. is supporting the NATO-led operation. That argument angered Republicans and Democrats.

    Later in the day, the committee is to consider a resolution by Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and John McCain, R-Ariz., to give Obama limited authority of one year for the mission while prohibiting U.S. ground troops. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., plans five amendments to the measure that would further restrict Obama’s authority.

    Rebuking Obama, the House rejected the resolution on Friday.

    Throw Bernanke in jail and appoint Thomas Hoenig Fed Chairman.

    Reestablish the foundations of capitalism, break up the big banks and protect taxpayers from the banksters by reinstating Glass-Steagall.

    Hold failure accountable, reinstitute “mark -to-market”.

    Wrest the reins of “private gains/socialized losses” back from government, the Fed and the banksters.

    Stand up to this madness, dammit!

    #10 Lawrence: from your linkie:

    Hoenig believes that the massive benefits of the FDIC insurance on deposits makes banks almost utilities. He supports the reinstatement of Glass Steagall and the Volcker rule. If banks want to go beyond their core lending activities or any other Wall Street-like speculation, they need to give up that deposit insurance. Otherwise, taxpayers are guaranteeing every speculative bet made by every bank.

    Report: Obama Films Campaign Ad In White House, Possibly Violating FEC Laws?

    NRO’s Jim Geraghty raises the question of whether Barack Obama filmed a video for his reelection campaign in the White House, which may possibly be a violation of federal election laws.

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/06/27/dinner_with_obama_now_includes_joe_biden.html

    Possibly violated? How about NRO’s Jim Geraghty’s editor doing a FIFY removing the word “possibly” and any similar references.
    They won’t be able to claim ignorance….note that the flag and Presidental seal have been taken away for the campaign ad.

    These rules have been violated. (From the basic-obligation-public-service law:)

    5 CFR 2635.101 – Basic obligation of public service.

    PART 2635 – STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH

    (7) Employees shall not use public office for private gain.

    (8) Employees shall act impartially and not give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual.

    (9) Employees shall protect and conserve Federal property and shall not use it for other than authorized activities.

    (10) Employees shall not engage in outside employment or activities, including seeking or negotiating for employment, that conflict with official Government duties and responsibilities.

    In a dazzling display of arrogance, disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner is trying to insert himself back into politics — calling power brokers and would-be candidates for his old seat, hoping they’ll let him play a role in choosing his own successor, The Post has learned.

    Seriously, let’s see Obama divert all air traffic away from Texas. Would that be a hoot? Somehow I think the public outrage would be elevated to record levels, and not just from Texans. All the job growth is here, it’s still important to the energy business, it’s still a port, etc. Obama has been trying his darndest to bring Texas to it’s knees like he’s done to the rest of the country without success. Let’s see how he would handle air traffic – I am old enough to remember a little airline that started up as an intrastate carrier, serving only Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, and dodging all the government interference – in fact, they were so successful that I think they spanked all the big boys and rewrote to business model for airlines to follow. Maybe history would repeat itself. Bring it own, and get those limp wicked politicians out of Austin, and particularly out of leadership.

    divert all air traffic away from Texas.

    Good idea.

    I remember that “little” carrier. They started with the ticket agents getting on the plane to be the stewardess’, the pilots loading baggage and the managers sweeping the floors. The ONE thing they had and never lost was SPIRIT and the belief that hard work gets good results. I flew many a mile with them and watched them grow.

    Wouldn’t you figger that this rose to the level to APPOINT A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, seeing as how the DOJ is totally corrupted?

    Guess who typically appoints Special Prosecutors?

    AG’s can (and have) been impeached. I read (but can’t find again) where three AG’s have been impeached. Two resigned; I don’t know what happened in the remaining case.

    In other news, it’s finally not raining here in the blessed isles. First day in a week and half… actually longer but I’ve only been here a week and a half, being selfish that’s all I care about.
    In still other news, unions are calling for a general strike here on Thursday because, wait for it, they don’t want to contribute to their pensions or benefit plans.

    Sound familiar?

    Much is humorous, this is the money quote.

    WALLACE: Not exactly. Finally, let’s do a gut check of your political instincts. Hypothetical: the ATF Gunwalker scandal leads right to the top. Video emerges of the President examining a Barrett M82 50 caliber rifle before handing it to a Cartel enforcer, saying, “Good hunting.” Obama comes to you for advice on handling the blowback. What do you tell him?

    STEWART: Pardon yourself before the situation gets out of hand, Mr. President.

    WALLACE: Pardon himself? I guess he could. How would he justify the act?

    STEWART: In a Rose Garden statement, he’d say, ”On behalf of all Americans, I accept this pardon because we can’t afford Joe Biden in the Oval Office in these difficult times. And while I’m grateful to the White House, I am deeply disappointed that unanswered questions remain about my involvement in shipping weapons to Mexican drug dealers to promote strict gun control legislation here at home.”

    If you remove the fig leaf, Hammie, I’m leavin’.

    So, for the record, God created Adam and Eve, not Hammie and Shannon.

    I just sent an email to my Us representatives Kay Bailey hutchinson, John cornyn, and Ted Poe asking where they stand on TSA groping without probable cause and what they plan to do about it. I’ll let you all know their responses. Personally, I am all for Texas outlawing TSA groping. I like the chaos it’ll create. It’ll probably get shot down in court (which I have little respect for) but I’m still for states outlawing that practice so long as it happens in their state.

    Gee, I wonder how they would have responded if the characters were Porky and Petunia Pig?

    CAIRO – An Egyptian Christian telecom mogul has angered Islamic hard-liners by posting an online cartoon of Mickey Mouse with a beard and Minnie in a face veil.
    The ultraconservative Islamists, known as Salafis, called the cartoon posted by Naguib Sawiris on Twitter a mockery of Islam. They launched an online campaign calling on Muslims in Egypt to boycott Sawiris’ mobile phone company Mobinil.

    So, it was a Coptic who founded a mobile phone company in Egypt.. . . . . . . .I think they are simply looking for a reason to be pizzed at a non-moooooooooslim – not that they really need a reason.

    I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the “right”

    While Greece, Portugal, Ireland and others slide into default, bankruptcy, and oblivion while leaving the nasty skid-mark of socialism on the garment of civilization; the real costs of socialist lies are being made apparent to all who care to observe. The average joe in those societies is probably going through the entire range of negative emotions that one would when coming to the realization that everything they have been taught and all that they believed is a lie. When people are coming to grips with the cold slap of reality they tend to act-out just a bit.

    Many Greeks insist they should not be forced to pay for a crisis they believe politicians are responsible for.

    “We don’t owe any money, it’s the others who stole it,” said 69-year-old demonstrator Antonis Vrahas. “We’re resisting for a better society for the sake of our children and grandchildren.”

    These useless turds having been living the high life on government handouts for years, the government is broke and they’re doing for the children. Horse pucks. Those are the same excuses you’re going to hear after England lights up this Thursday. Union thugs and hooligans rioting to keep their benefits.

    And the barbecue wasn’t even that good. And I had to eat alone. And it interrupted a day where I was actually making some progress on my “to do” list.

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Elisha Dawkins graduated in August from nursing school in Jacksonville.

    He put on hold his plans for taking the board exams because the Navy called him into action as a photographer.

    Dawkins photographed happenings at Guantanamo Bay, an act that’s evidence he’s a trusted member of the military with top secret clearance.

    Now, Dawkins, a Navy reservist and decorated Army combat photographer who served in Iraq, is in jail, charged with passport fraud. He’s facing 10 years in prison for what could be a simple misunderstanding.

    “Suddenly, he’s picked up and thrown in jail? Then it’s time for this senator to start asking questions,” U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson., D-Fla., said.

    Nelson has questions echoed by Dawkins’ friends, including Dianne Rinehardt.

    “It’s a travesty, and we’re trying to stop it,” Rinehardt said.

    Rinehardt went through nursing school with Dawkins and is a veteran herself. She’s upset about the trouble her friend is in. In sharing his story with other vets, Rinehardt said that lots of people who don’t know Dawkins can’t believe it.

    “We’re all appalled that, how can you serve this country and be more dedicated to the ideals of this country, and serve this country and then be told, ‘Guess what, you made a little clerical error. You’re out of here.’ And that’s a travesty,” Rinehardt said.

    A federal indictment states that Dawkins started to fill out a passport application in 2004, didn’t complete it, then filled out a new application two years later.

    On that new application, he checked a box “no” for the question, “Have you ever applied before?” according to the indictment.

    There you have it. Perhaps because Rinehardt isn’t an attorney, he checked the wrong box, probably not knowing how to correcty answer the question.

    Beck’s been crying too many tears:

    In a lengthy interview with the former Pennsylvania senator, the two were discussing the Cut Cap Balance Pledge, a vow to oppose any debt limit increase that doesn’t cut and cap spending and balance the budget. Santorum revealed he had signed the celebrated pledge, and reached his hand out for a congratulatory shake in response to Beck’s excitement. Instead Beck responded, “I could kiss you in the mouth.”

    Heh. Well, at least neither Glenn nor Santorum are homophobic (which is what the Texas on the Potomac definitely connotated Sanortum was). Here’s another Glen Beck teary-eyed moment. This doesn’t show how Glenn’s not homophobic but very humane.

    I guess because I’m female – I didn’t think he cried hardly at all. A few tears held back, but if I had been invited to a night out by my daughter, and had it ruined like they did —
    — if my family had been made targets of others’ ignorance and hate —
    I’d tear up a little, too. More over the innocence lost first, then over the disappointment of my daughter’s desires crushed, maybe, but I’d still be pretty sad.

    But then, I have wimmin parts, and you guys don’t. That kind of stuff tears at me a little more.

    It is the change in attitude that causes the manboobs to appear in the first place.

    Whoa! TT

    You crossed the line again with the “man-boob” reference. If I ever need a bra, I guess that would pretty much invalidate my man card.

    Hell, why not ask “If you cut off your testicles, does that change your attitude any?”

    In answer to the U.S. Census question, ‘Do you have any dependents?’ …………..

    One Texan put ….YES…’Asylum seekers, illegal immigrants, crack heads, unemployable deadbeats, the cast of The Jerry Springer Show, 80,000 people in our 133 penal establishments in Texas, leftovers in Texas from Katrina, half of freaking Mexico, Some of the Congress, most of the Senate and a sorry ass Muslim sympathizing President!’

    Apparently this wasn’t an acceptable answer.

    Further to my #48: The extreme painful and negative emotions that will occur when that cold slap of reality hits you in the face is way too much for most liberal(ists) to even consider. That is why they act like the spoiled brats they are, because they can’t handle the truth. Unfortunately, like the people in Greece, Portugal and Ireland, there will come a time that they can no longer hide from the truth and avoiding it is not an available option. I fully expect to see the same behavior from the same types of people in our country within the next 2-3 years. I fully expect there to be a political blow-out in NOV 2012 and the D’s will get flushed out like the terds they are; unfortunately, the true magnitude of the mess they have been creating over what will be the last 6 years will become apparent. Cleaning it up, if even possible, will be long and painful. The true insult to all this future but certain injury is that those genuinely responsible will be largely unseen and/or out of office.

    After reading your post, I’m glad I’m married to a plumber. He knows how to clean out those kind of messes.

    And as far as the plumbing goes – I’ve always said that men are good for three things:

    procreation, extermination, and sanitation.

    #1 Many Greeks insist they should not be forced to pay for a crisis they believe politicians are responsible for.

    “We don’t owe any money, it’s the others who stole it,” said 69-year-old demonstrator Antonis Vrahas. “We’re resisting for a better society for the sake of our children and grandchildren.”

    These useless turds having been living the high life on government handouts for years, the government is broke and they’re doing for the children. Horse pucks. Those are the same excuses you’re going to hear after England lights up this Thursday. Union thugs and hooligans rioting to keep their benefits.

    There is a real strong vein of truth to what he is complaining about. It is true that the politicians stole the money; they stole it and bought votes with it; those who do not pay into the system but get lots of benefits will always vote for the guy who promises them more (of other peoples money). Imagine how pizzed off the over 65 crowd here is going to be when their SS checks are not indexed for the hyper-inflation that is coming. The hyperinflation that necessarily must be caused by the rampant deficit spending and the Fed monetizing the debt. The rampant deficit spending that has dramatically increased since 2007, when Nanzi Pelousi took the reigns of the House of Terds.
    Wanna know whats coming here in 24-36 months?????? Look to Greece now.

    I wonder how long before the Greeks tell the banksters(European & American banks and financial institutions including Fidelity Cash Reserves Money Market and others and their investors included) to go winky-tink up a different rope.

    What this is really about is bailing out the banks and their respective investors – again. If somebody held a gun to their head and forced them to loan to Greece, I might understand.

    Not to mention every institution that has subsequently speculatively bought Greek bonds at pennies on the dollar and are betting on a bailout that will give them a buyer at full price, adding insult to injury.

    I predicted the Greece chaos would come to the United States last year and everybody said it wouldn’t get that bad here.

    They were right – it won’t get that bad here – it’ll get worse.

    As Denninger would say, the Free Shiite Army is MUCH MUCH bigger here than in Greece. Watch what happens when the politicians kick the can down the road with IMMATERIAL spending cuts that take decades to realize, and the country is forced to drastically cut entitlement spending on every front. The Free Shiite Army will take to the streets here and it will get real western real quick. I hope you guys are ready – I’m hoping to disappear into small town America by then and get out of the urban war zone. Those little “wilding” episodes in Illinois(you know, the only state left in the Union that won’t let their citizens arm themselves against a tsunami of crime – hell, you know all 49 other states are wrong and they’re right. The 2nd Amendment is just government sponsored old white man racism anyway according to the Chicago Chief of Police) are gonna look like an Easter Sunday church picnic compared to what I believe is coming down the road.

    #79 I think there are some very big differences between us and Greece. Here, the majority of the people demanding a teat for themselves are people our age and older. In Greece, it’s everyone, including a substantial percentage of young people. I don’t see a way out for them. Here, there’s still a chance that people younger than us will finally say “No! We’re not paying into a system that will be bankrupt long before we get to be your age.” If, however, Barry succeeds in his government takeover of the economy and turns all the young people into leeches too, all bets are off.

    You know me, ever the optimist.

    Wow, you are an optimist. As far as I’m concerned the economy has already been taken over by the government, and it happened well before Barry came on the scene. I hope you’re right and I’m wrong.

    I’ll be hanging loose waiting for a link to a piece by a recognized legal scholar indicating Goeb Groper has a shot making it thru the front door of the 5th Circuit Court.

    Will this do?

    Letter from Greg Abbott to David Dewhurst reviewing potential changes to the SB 29. The companion bill, HB 41, was amended based on these recommendations.

    Date is 15 June.
    .
    And for those who will try and make it look like Joe Straus was responsible for making the Amendment:

    Claims that Simpson was not ready with his amendments on Friday are false. Below is an email sent Friday from the Texas Legislative Council to Rep. Simpson’s office certifying his amendments, dealing with AG Greg Abbott’s concerns, were ready to be brought up. It was sent before Speaker Straus gaveled in and took roll call.

    All I see is an email sent at 10:13am on Friday from Allison Zaby at the Texas Legislative Council to Kathi Seay, a policy advisor for the House of Representatives saying she’s attached the requested floor amendment. I guess in a perfect world one subordinate sending another subordinate the information may be able to get the information into the right hands instantaneously so it could be introduced on Friday. Expecting politicians to do something that quick is absurd.

    Which ghost is trying to “make it look like Joe Straus was responsible for making the Amendment”? Oh wait. Let me go check……

    Yup. Just as I figgered. The Ground Zero of your Straus obsession.

    Now, let’s look at what really went down:

    On June 27th (that was yesterday, btw) Simpson offered the amendments to HB 41. An excerpt from the transcript (and again, this is yesterday):

    REPRESENTATIVE BRANCH: Mr. Simpson, your amendment as amended by Mr. Fletcher includes not only now the earlier comments of May 21, but also today’s comments by the Association of District and County Attorneys, as well as a letter we’ve received from the Office of the Attorney General, today, this afternoon.

    REPRESENTATIVE SIMPSON: Yes, sir.

    BRANCH: Were they signed off on all the changes you have made to the bill since Friday?

    SIMPSON: Yes. Most of these were made before then, but yes.

    BRANCH: And so now, you’ve walked through the bill, and cleaned up the language, and amended it from what we had before us on Friday, Thursday and Friday of last week?

    SIMPSON: There are some changes, yes.

    BRANCH: At least in the terms of the Office of the Attorney General, and the Association of District and County Attorneys, that these were significant, important changes, legal changes, that will make your bill easier to defend in court, is that correct?

    SIMPSON: Yes, all those changes were basically in there Friday, and we added one thing, Representative Fletcher’s amendment, that they just requested.

    You continue to see spooks where there are none.

    I have asked you on several occasions not to bring your personal vendetta against Jennings here. I will not ask again.

    Hamous and Lawrence;

    I agree Beck cries too much. It is a turn off for me. But by and large I find them authentic (he doesn’t do it for show and, yes, he should absolutely reduce them) and also I do not fault him at all for tearing up telling his story about what happened at the Hitchcock showing.
