Since it was brought to my attention that some of you that read my blog find the information and rants regarding illegal immigration useful as well as entertaining, I'll share this with you today. 



Can you think of a better way to spend $84 BILLION a year?  That's YOUR money folks, well, about 50% of you anyway!

Speaking of those that don't pay any federal income tax but yet demand that the rich pay their fair share, I give you this quote.  "A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." - George Bernard Shaw

It looks to me like Obama is a getting a little desperate.

In other news, we did part of a Senior Portrait session Monday evening and will finish up this weekend.  We showed the parents the photos from the first session last night and they loved them.  We're also delivering the orchestra photos and the large, custom framed print on Friday.  The two ladies who had us do the photos loved the images we showed them on the iPad while we were at the ball game the other day.  I'll have to post a couple when I have the chance. 

It's almost the weekend and I'm looking forward to a third consecutive weekend of being off.  JD will be pitching in a district game on Saturday.  We've reached the point where a team loss ends JD's high school baseball career.  It is a bittersweet time but we have several years of college baseball to look forward to and he will also be playing on a Ban Johnson team this summer.

Graduation is only 10 days away.  Time goes by so fast.  In three months he will be at college and Jodi and I will be empty nesters.  That sounds so strange.  We've done a pretty good job at raising a fine, young man.

Broke my AR-15 in at a friend's house yesterday and then we got to playing around with some other toys.  Here's some samples:

How do I dial long distance?  With a Barrett .50!  I got your Infidel right here!!  Takes some muscle to shoulder this bad boy as it's 36 pounds unloaded. 

Have any streets that need sweeping?"

Had a lot of fun.  I need to get signed up for a Concealed Carry class soon.  Might look for a sub-compact at the next show.

The IRS sent my Tax forms back! AGAIN!!!


I guess it was because of my response to the question : "List all dependents?" I accurately replied:

• 12 million illegal immigrants

• 3 million crack heads

• 42 million unemployable people on food stamps

• 2 million people in over 243 prisons

• Half of Mexico

• All of Haiti

• 2/3rds of European banks

• 535 fools in the U.S. House and Senate

• 4,240 bigger fools and staff in the executive offices

Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer. They really need to clarify the instructional tabs on those forms. Be careful when you file this year.

Wanted to try out some new lighting techniques and I decided to be the subject.  Jodi was behind the camera with my direction.  She did pretty well for her first time.  Click on pic for larger image.

It's been awhile since I talked about illegal immigration so let's catch everyone up a bit.  Clearly, Obama, Holder and the current Justice Department administartion are no fans of Sheriff Joe Arpaio as he does what they choose not to do, strictly enforce U.S. immigration law.  Sheriff Joe is being targeted now and it is all politically motivated.  They claim his department uses racial profiling, violates the rights of illegals, etc...  So I guess if you police an area that has wide illegal immigration problems, human smuggling operations, etc... and you pull someone over who appears Latino (with just cause) and ask them for ID, you are racially profiling?  Give me a break!   These claims are all made by (Surprise!!) illegals who have been arrested by Sheriff Joe and his deputies.

In other related news, Obama has ordered his Justice Department minions to cease all active deportation cases until each indivisual case is reviewed.  The reasoning?  They only want to deport illegals who have committed serious crimes.  They don't want to deport those who have been here a long time, are college students, were brought here as a young child by their parents, etc... 

I have a hard time understanding why someone who is illegally in this country would be allowed to stay, period.  We shouldn't be releasing these criminals due to while they've been here they haven't got into any trouble.  What justifies that approach?  We have millions of applicants wanting to enter our country legally yet law breakers are being given a pass. 

This administration, along with liberal judges, is putting America in the toilet. We're going broke handing out money to people for doing nothing and letting illegals come in and take jobs and benefits that should be going to Americans.  The want a Godless society, our weapons so we can't defend ourselves, and everyone dependent on the government.

As we head into 2012, remember this quote:

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
