Hong Kong Must Be Defended

Hong Kong is part of the West.  The people of Hong Kong are freedom loving people.  America and the free world must stand with the protesters and let China know that any violence against the people of Hong Kong is unacceptable.   Hong Kong is a special place for many of the people who have visited.

TSA is a jobs creation program for incompetent buffoons

While you’re being harassed by TSA agents to take off your shoes, let them touch you in intimate locations, and bark orders to you as though you’re in a North Korean prison camp, a Nigerian immigrant has been able to use boarding passes that were not in his name and actually get on a commercial airline!  Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi flew from NYC to LA using an expired boarding pass in another man’s name.  During the flight, airline officials noticed that he was in a seat that was unsold.  They alerted the Los Angeles police department, the FBI, and TSA.  Incredibly, he was released without charge when he landed!  Yes, while you’re being harassed, the federal government is letting dangerous people like this out loose!  Could it be that TSA was created not for the purpose of security, but mainly as a jobs program for incompetent buffoons (in much the same way that our schools are a “jobs” program for incompetent teachers)? 

By the way, Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi was recently arrested for trying the same scheme again when he was trying to board a Delta flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta.

Freedom!

Do you smell that fresh air -- the sense of freedom?  Yes, Congress is out of town, which means that Americans are now free, free at last.  Soon a GOP-led House of Representatives will represent the true interests of the American people.  This will include writing laws that the American people understand, passing laws that liberate the private sector from the shackles that have been in place for decades, and cutting back on the size and the scope of the government industrial complex.  What is most important, however, is actually repealing many of the tyrannical initiatives that the Democrats passed in the last two years, with government-run health care (Obamacare) being at the top of the list.  The idea that, in a country in which thousands of television stations are available, 300,000 Iphone apps can be downloaded, millions of items are available for purchase online (without any shipping costs) to those living in the most rural locations, that the government would be the most suited party to decide for you how you should get health care is absurd. How can anyone make such an irrational argument?  Well, that explains why House Speaker Pelosi said that "we have to pass the law so that you find out what is in it." Of course!  If she told you what was in it, you would have been even more vocal in your opposition.  Not that it would matter to Pelosi.  Or her fellow Democrats.  They knew that we would strongly oppose the law, and she decided to pass it over our objections.  Hopefully the Democrats will be in the minority for 100 years.  After all, we have a lot of laws to repeal.
