Grace Lee Whitney , Yeoman Rand, from the original Star Trek, has passed.

“You should think about INSURANCE.”

So says the Australian Government…They will levy a 0.05% “insurance charge” against all bank accounts.    Gonna raise $500 Million $ per year. It’ll be put is a “Financial Stability Fund” (much like the US FDIC….BUT here is the kicker: Until it is needed it will be used to “offset gross Debt”.

Plain and simple, it is a tax upon every citizen’s holding.

Watch the bank runs start. Watch already weak banks fail. Watch the “Johnny come latelies” who fail to withdraw their money early lose their savings.

Bet it’ll happen here too. And especially in Europe.

That Mason Jar in my Backyard is lookin’ more and more attractive every day. Or, I could invest in Precious metals (I prefer Copper, Brass, and Lead over Gold and Silver…..)

(and it appear that it is) then why aren’t we hearing more about these two men? Terrorism on American Soil isn’t Really Big News? If a bunch of others knew about it, then it is also a conspiracy, which is a much bigger issue….

I mean, we don’t know it they were American Citizens, Legal (or illegal) aliens, travelers here on a visa, or what?

All we know is that they apparently had firearms and explosives and planned to use them, but were somehow intercepted and killed by an “officer”, who was himself wounded.

Link HERE…

ETA: A real story about this HERE…Sadly, it is UK newspaper, not a US one….

Seems that Emergency Room visits have INCREASED, rather than the promised decrease, as we were promised would happen. More costs that we working folks have to cover, for a problem that didn’t used to exist, but now does….

But really, what have the Obamacare folks gotten right? I mean, really they got nearly everything wrong, all the consequences of Barrycare have been “surprises”….it’s almost like they had a dream that they couldn’t make into reality because people wouldn’t do what the Liberal Dreamers wanted them to do.

When you cannot get spare parts for your artificial arm anymore.

Especially when the company is still in business, just not in the artificial arm business anymore.

“Sorry, Bud, yer screwed'”……that implant is obsolete.

I thought getting parts for old equipment was bad, but damn!.

(and work and commute in) in a single race area, I’d plan on a long hot summer of unrest.

Might be a good idea to have some firepower in your car, even if you can’t carry at work.

Maybe a bail-out bag just in case driving isn’t a good idea….

Or a change (or two) of clothes and some food and water at work, just in case staying put is a better idea.

Best place to be if there is a riot?:  Somewhere else.

George Soros has always felt tht the “rich” should pay more (a fair share) taxes than those of us who earn less than him.

It is, of course, all about safety.

Right?

Not Revenue. Ever.

Cops in Hawaii write $18K in tickets for cell phone use while in a traffic jam.

” Honolulu Police Department Assistant Chief Clayton Kau said that the whole thing was just one giant misunderstanding.

“At the time, that they were doing that, they weren’t aware of the traffic problem. When they were notified, at that point, they ceased enforcement action,” Kau said.”

On down the road…..

So the rush to judgement has 6 cops charged, after only a  few days of investigation.

Did the cops take Freddie Gray on a wild ride? A little “Road Therapy”? Probably. Is there proof? Not really..the Detectives doing the internal “Investigation” (oops!) waited too long to collect videotaped evidence, so much of it is taped over by now….

Are all 6 of the cops guilty? Maybe, maybe not. But the “Nickle Tour”…a little “Screen Test” or, as they call it around here, “Road Therapy” is a common  thing for people who the cops wish to impart a lesson to…Adjusts their attitude a bit, you see…..

But I think the charges were rushed to placate the crowd…..Arrests (temporarily) satisfy the crowd. [Look!!! We are doing something!!!]

The real big riot is gonna happen when there isn’t enough evidence to convict. And that(unless the verdict is released during a hurricane or a blizzard) is gonna lead to even bigger and more intense riots.

Bet on it. The only thing the people who rioted will accept to placate them is a lynching.
