Barack Obama at Solyndra

After the massive collapse and bankruptcy of U.S. President Barack Obama's $535,000,000 pet project, funded by the taxpayers, known as the solar company Solyndra, most would think the administration would be more cautious in doling out the people's money in said sector of the economy. Not so.

The Obama Administration has just rushed out $9 billion dollars more in taxpayer money to the solar industry, in an attempt at beating China, which has cost effectively perfected the sale and distribution of said apparatus, at a very low cost.

Once again, as the Judiciary Report has stated for 2 and a 1/2 years, these non-necessity initiatives need to be placed on the back burner, until America is on stronger financial footing. The taxpayers and the nation deficit cannot afford any more costly mistakes.

If I were a head of state facing the financial problems America is, I would stick to proven industries that can provide quick and robust returns and shore them up. You reward success, not failure. Yes, it is wise to not give up, but one must use common sense and moderation in how one goes about things, when trying again, especially when the financial stability and success of a nation of 305,000,000 people are at stake.

Celluloid Film Review: Arthur

Title: Arthur

Year Of Release: 2011

Review Date: September 30, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 110 minutes

Box Office Gross: $65,339,543

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

Family Warning: contains some sexual content and bad language

"Arthur" the remake of the 1981 film of the same name, did not live up to its predecessor, regarding the promiscuous Brit living in New York. The reboot, which stars British comedic actor, Russell Brand, in the role, did not quite do the late Dudley Moore justice. Most filmgoers probably did not look past the surface of this film's trailer, to buy a ticket to see it, as the movie so paled in comparison to what came before it, the deterioration in quality was immediately apparent.

The film did have a few funny moments, but it took way too long for them to arrive. Some jokes did fall somewhat flat, while ironically characterizing the Obama Administration's view on economics. When officials inform Arthur he is living a lavish and meaningless life, by stating, "How do you explain this frivolous spending during a recession" - he simply goes to an ATM, obtains funds from his family's account and spontaneously begins throwing it all over a room full of people while proclaiming, "Free money, recession's over, we're in a boom." The Obama school of economics, indeed.

Speaking of Obama, Hollywood has been name dropping him in their movies, as a means of promoting him. This is being done in bids at propping him up, after their insane agenda, bad advice and constant presence at the White House, firmly planted the first African-American presidency in trouble (see polls). When Arthur is confronted by his mother about his debauched lifestyle and her desire for him to marry a domineering woman he does not love, she admonishes him by stating, "As the charming coffee colored gentleman (Obama) that runs this country said, 'It is time to put aside childish things.'" Actually, that phrase came from the Bible (1 Corinthians 13:11). Leave it to Hollywood to compliment and insult in the same sentence, where no matter what they tell you, race is a factor.

Conrad Murray Wanted $5 Million To Be Michael Jackson's Doctor On Tour For A Few Months

Conrad Murray, the doctor of the late pop star, Michael Jackson, who overdosed him by giving him too much Propofol anesthetic, along with other pharmaceutical meds, demanded $5,000,000 from tour promoter, AEG, to be the singer's physician on tour for a few months.

This was an extraordinary sum to request, betraying the doctor's greed. Jackson wouldn't even clear $5,000,000 per night on tour, after expenses, yet Murray thought this exorbitant sum was acceptable. Murray behaved like a mercenary and it clouded his judgment in a number of things, in relation to the medical care, if you can call it that, he gave Jackson.

An Eye Opening Look At Rick Perry's Controversial Social Security Ponzi Scheme Statements

Rick Perry

Texas Governor and presidential candidate, Rick Perry, upset some when he referred to Social Security as a "ponzi scheme." I’m hoping he is not right in this matter, but here's what is leaving the door open that he very well may be.

A ponzi scheme is condcuted by a fraudster(s) that collected money from investors, on a financial scam they have no intention of making good on, with positive monetary returns, while securing your investment. They keep seeking out new investors, to use their newly collected money, to pay alleged returns to the first set of investors. The pattern keeps repeating itself, until all the principal paid by all the investors has been squandered away, not only on issuing checks for bogus, non-existent returns, but also to pay for unauthorized, frivolous and illegal activity by the fraudster.

In July 2011, when President Obama stated, he could not guarantee that Social Security checks will go out, if the debt ceiling was not raised, it caught my attention. Why would Social Security, an old, allegedly wealthy fund, with trillions of dollars in taxpayer money, be in danger of not being properly distributed, as it has been for years.

Did some unscrupulous person(s) in the government spend most or all of the money in an unauthorized manner and Washington is using borrowed money to send out the checks each month. Why else would the President say something like that.

What oh what could have depleted those funds. Hmm let’s see - two wars in the Middle East could destroy trillions over the course of several years. The movie "The Obama Deception" also points to the fact, in the transitional time period, between former president, George W. Bush, preparing to leave office and President Obama assuming it, trillions in U.S. taxpayer money mysteriously went missing.

Barack Obama

It would be an evil thing if the people’s money in the Social Security fund was no longer there, after millions paid into it in good faith. For years, I’ve heard so many seniors say they have paid into Social Security for decades, which will tie them over in their old age, until they pass.

My mother paid into social security for over 30-years and she is one of many thinking their money is still there. Many seniors in Florida and around the nation will readily admit, they use their monthly Social Security checks to pay for food, utilities and transportation. They are not "bling blinging" with this money, as the modern phrase goes. It is being used on necessities.

For those seniors that lost their homes during the current foreclosure fiasco that gripped the nation, when banks colluded and drastically raised interest rates in a short space of time, thus sending monthly payments through the roof, leaving many unable to pay their adjustable mortgages, their Social Security checks are paying for rent as well.

If the U.S. government messes around and the Social Security fund collapses, millions will go homeless in America, as there are many senior citizens in the nation, many of whom are infirmed, the job market is poor and there exists ageism in it as well creating discrimination issues. The government needs to get its act together, as the welfare of many is at stake.

How Did The Obama Administration Get To The Political Point Of Zero Jobs Created

Why Did His Advisers Not Warn Him Of The Pitfalls

Left to right: President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker John Boehner

The Judiciary Report is disappointed that President Obama has the tag of "zero jobs created" attached to his name, in a presidency that held so much promise, but has gone terribly awry (Stunning New Rick Perry Presidential Ad Paints Obama As ‘President Zero’). However, Obama chose a path that was financially risky, ignoring many warnings that what he has been doing will turn out badly...and it did.

Infrastructure Spending

From early in his presidency, the Judiciary Report, warned against Obama trying to replicate what former president, Dwight Eisenhower did, via massive infrastructure spending. In the October 21, 2010 article Obama Trying To Be Dwight D. Eisenhower the Judiciary Report warned against Obama's profligate spending in this area of commerce.

Hefty infrastructure spending sounds good on paper, but it led to a recession during Eisenhower's time. The site gave an explanation for the warning and that being we live in different times that cannot be applied to Eisenhower's era. President Obama found this out the hard way. In the end, Obama's "shovel ready" jobs were anything but and turned out to be a bust. Architecture often has a lot of red tape for safety reasons. You don't want to build, repair or retrofit structures without the proper schematics and workers, which takes time.

Stimulus

Obama was not tough enough on corporate stimulus recipients, something the Judiciary Report warned against before the wild spending began (Obama Calls For Job Summit). There was no fear of what would happen to them if they hoarded, misappropriated or embezzled taxpayer funds, so they did what they wanted to with the money. Obama was trying to win their affection and support by buying them with federal taxpayer money, given as handouts, but this was ill-advised.

You cannot be a chummy friend to industry, when you are the government. You are a regulator and overseer. There needs to be clearly defined lines that must not be crossed. You can't trust people with that much money. It doesn't matter what nation, as there will be someone with a bright idea on how to steal it. Too much temptation to steal cookies from the jar has proven the downfall of many.

One can't just say, "Here's a billion dollars, go create some jobs" as some will think, "It's more like I'll create some offshore bank accounts." To this day, there has been no real accountability with taxpayer funded corporate stimulus funds. Some companies need to return the money under the penalty of imprisonment, for misuse of the funds. There should have been ground rules - if you mess up with this, I'm going to mess you up (within the law, of course).

At this point, hypothetically speaking, the government would have been better off giving the money to McDonalds, Walmart or Apple, though they did not need it, as they created jobs during that time period, where others on Wall Street failed to do so. Let's face it, Wall Street has become Hoard Street. The stimulus screening process is very poor.

Frivolous Initiatives

Even in the face of the fiasco that has become Solyndra, President Obama, is still trying to push through $9 billion dollars in taxpayer money for similar solar and wind projects. These are risky investments that can wait, until they can be done more cost effectively and at a real profit. This was and is not the time for the new and experimental, when you are struggling with an economy that is in dire straits. You do that when there are surpluses, not detrimental debt and skyrocketing deficits.

The president needs to focus on the meat and potatoes of economic earnings, not the costly caviar and champagne model. Sound, proven strategies and products. Not items and initiatives with a big question mark over their potency and profitability.

Criminals In The Corporate World

No world economy can thrive with a significant number of fraudsters in its midst and Wall Street is still suffering from this problem, even with the arrests of Bernard Madoff and Allen Stanford. For years, the Judiciary Report has state the government is covering up the crimes of high profile financial criminals (Cleaning Up Corporate America, How George Bush Destroyed The U.S. Economy and This Is Not "Wall Street").

Even with the battering the economy continues to take, the government refuses to arrest a group of known fraudsters deteriorating the nation's bottom-line. Too big to fail also extends to too big to arrest.

Bad Advice

President Obama has listened to all the wrong people - particularly Hollywood, which loves to invoke Ronald Reagan as an excuse for meddling in politics, when they don't know what they are doing. While I didn't agree with everything Reagan did, the man was no idiot. He was a university educated actor turned politician, that came from the old school, where a premium was placed on intelligence.

There is not one modern actor or singer in Hollywood that could hold a candle to Reagan in this regard. Nowadays, you'll find, most stars are occult worshiping, mental patients waiting to happen, masquerading as celebrities (see: Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Charlie Sheen, to name a few).

Executives From Obama's Bankrupt Solyndra Will Plead The Fifth In Congressional Hearing

Barack Obama

Reuters is reporting today that executives of the newly bankrupt solar company, Solyndra, who President Obama fully backed, attended their corporate meetings and gave $500,000,000 in taxpayer money the country will never see again, will plead the fifth in Congressional hearings, invoking the Constitution, to prevent self-incrimination. This lends the appearance of guilt on their part and the taxpayers deserve a better explanation, rather than none at all via a cop out.

Shaunie O’Neal Gives The Impression She Is Clueless About Evelyn Lozada’s Announced Departure From Basketball Wives

"Basketball Wives" producer, Shaunie O’Neal, made an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show and seemed to be denying all responsibility for the content of the contentious, sexually charged show, by stating she has simply brought women of different types together (also known as a pimp). That's like saying you brought several tigers together, let them loose, but you are somehow not responsible for the damage that ensued. Give it up, Shaunie Springer. This is your fault.

On another note, O'Neal denies all knowledge of costar, Evelyn Lozada, leaving "Basketball Wives." O'Neal said Lozada told her no such thing (uh, but she told everybody else on Twitter - check your timeline). It gives the impression that Lozada's announcement was another publicity stunt for ratings to see if she will come back and more money, via another salary increase. She received a raise last time she threw the same tantrum. Either way, she is the star of the show.

Evelyn Lozada

I'll give the women on the show credit, they are all naturally pretty and that's something money can't buy, because Hollywood has some freak shows of bad plastic surgery, bad hairdos, bad make-up and bad clothes running around. These women have their look together. While it is refreshing to see women on television, whose faces are not jacked from bad plastic surgery, there is too much fighting and cussing on "Basketball Wives." Some may like it, but some do not.

What Will Obama Do If He Doesn’t Get Reelected

What If This Is Where His Presidential Legacy Will Conclude

Barack Obama

With the 2012 presidential election rapidly approaching, what will President Obama do if he is not reelected, as polls indicate. As it stands, his legacy is not in a good place. He is embedded in world history for historic spending and America reaching record economic lows during his time in office. How can this be a good thing.

Obama has very little time left to possibly change his legacy before the next election. After 2 years and 9 months of failed stimulus spending, unsuccessful financial policies and a new war, what does he plan to do to reverse this dismal presidential record.

One has to wonder, does it matter to him how he is remembered, as the political action he continues to take is quite risky, ill advised and indicative of someone that somehow no longer cares what happens. Why has Obama listened to the wrong people.

Government Gullibility: Played For Suckers Or Was Solyndra A Front For Something Else

Barack Obama to White House staffer: this is the President. I'd like for you to send some gold bricks to Solyndra and gift wrap it with the note, "From Barry, with Love."

In reading the latest information coming out about the bankruptcy of President Obama's favored Solyndra solar company, which wasted over a half a billion dollars of taxpayer money, one is left to wonder, was the government really that gullible, did Solyndra play the Obama administration for suckers or was the company a cover for something else.

$535 million dollars is a lot of money to commit to a new company, especially one with unproven products and services. Yet, the government had no qualms about doing so, fast tracking the loan within six days, jumping in head first, in what was a terrible deal from the outset. Do you know how many small businesses in America would love a simple $5,000 to $10,000 loan and can't get one, yet Solyndra received this windfall of cash.

President Barack Obama and Chris Gronet of Solyndra

The FBI demands taxpayer money from Congress, claiming it is for one thing, but behind closed doors, often uses it for illegal secret programs that shred the U.S. Constitution. Was Solyndra using taxpayer money for reasons other than what was disclosed to the public, as I find it hard to believe any company could blow through half a billion dollars and have absolutely nothing to show for it. What happened here.

I have a question, if I go to Home Depot, buy some sheets of Plexiglas, spray them black, leave them out in the sun and call it a solar initiative, will the government give me $528,000,000 to play with too. Hey, it doesn't hurt to ask.

The FBI raiding Solyndra. Yea, now they want to investigate something, after the brown stuff hit the fan and the taxpayers' money is gone

An article published yesterday in the San Francisco Chronicle indicates, Solyndra sent an "upbeat" report to the government in July 2011 and they apparently bought it hook line and sinker (Feds probe Solyndra's upbeat July report). This was six weeks before they filed for bankruptcy, yet as recently as six months ago, the Judiciary Report again warned the Obama Administration needed to drop its solar initiatives.

If I knew, shouldn't the government have known as well. You mean to tell me the White House and the FBI, an investigative agency, where the President meets with its director, Robert S. Mueller, on a weekly basis, did not know what was going on at Solyndra.

Obama at Solyndra pretending he understands what they are talking about, not realizing it is rubbish that will go on to cost the taxpayers a boatload of cash. He should have let me go there for him, because the first thing out of my mouth after their long speech would have been, "You're talking pure bull!"

It's amazing - the FBI will illegally pry into the lives of writers such as myself (FBI Reproved For Spying On Journalists), day and night, even inappropriately talking to people I know personally, in bids at unconstitutionally swaying my sites and wanting to have unflattering things about them removed, yet a company like Solyndra that was loaned a half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds, they ignored, allowing them to blow all that money and during a financial crisis.

I'm pretty sure, had you collectively asked the taxpayers, who they would have wanted you to spend taxpayer money investigating, giving them the option:

a.) a ~~wonderful~~ annoying, smart alec blogger with a proven track record record of exclusives, who accurately called the FBI a bunch of corrupt privacy invaders wasting the taxpayers' money (the male ego can be so fragile)

-or-

b) a company (Solyndra) loaned $500,000,000 of taxpayer money that will go bankrupt and not repay it, much like the annoying blogger in option "a" warned would fail WELL BEFORE IT HAPPENED.

I'm sure the American people would have chosen option "b" Solyndra over the irritating, smart alec blogger that didn't do anything to anyone. As usual, the FBI continues to pry into the lives of the wrong people, while the real trouble happens elsewhere.

My point? The taxpayer money you wasted watching writers like me and covering it up by hiding the Freedom of Information Act files that reveal it, you could have spent investigating Solyndra and stopped this waste of $500,000,000 in taxpayer money, before the damage was substantial. Personally, I'm offended.

Obama Administration Mum On How Many Jobs They Can Create For $420 Billion In Taxpayer Money

Will It Be Another Fiasco Like Solyndra

Barack Obama

For the past 2 and ½ years, the Judiciary Report, has consistently warned the government need not waste taxpayer money on frivolous stimulus initiatives and must guarantee a maximum number of jobs are created, if they are going to use said funds. Well, they did not listen and hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money has been wasted - flushed down the toilet on frivolous misadventures, misappropriation and flat out theft and embezzlement.

Again, President Obama is back with the same speech, stating Congress must pass his latest jobs bill, but with the track record of failure under the administration’s belt in these endeavors, I’m not holding my breath anything significant will come of this. There's too much room for error and waste.

President Obama at Solyndra

Case in point, as mentioned previously, the Judiciary Report warned against Obama’s solar initiatives that later went on to fail, as the president’s pet project, Solyndra, which he sat in on meetings for, filed for bankruptcy two weeks ago, after only creating 585 jobs for $535 million dollars in taxpayer money. Other examples of egregious waste exist in Obama’s budget over the past couple years, but are being buried from the mainstream press.

Some hard questions need to be asked and publicly so, such as, how many jobs will the Obama Administration create if Congress passes its latest $447 billion dollar stimulus jobs bill, as given their history of failure in this regard, the taxpayers can't afford anymore costly mistakes. The economy has slipped away from the administration.

Side Bar: Why did Obama order the FBI to raid Solyndra last week, essentially to save face after they filed for bankruptcy, when he was very involved in the company, even attending corporate meetings. President Obama had to have known what was going on, as did the FBI/DOJ and DOE. They knew the inefficient and extravagant company was DOA, but kept supporting them with taxpayer money anyway.

Obama Sends U.S. Debt To All Time High

Debt Skyrockets Under President Obama Surpassing $10 Trillion

Barack Obama

For the first time in history, U.S. debt has topped $10 trillion dollars, up 59% under President Obama. In the midst of all Washington's spending, based on the reasoning President Obama set forth over two years ago, calculated expenditures would (allegedly) stimulate and boost the economy, spurring job growth. However, it has not and to terrible results. For the first time since 1945, U.S. job growth is at 0%, which is breathtakingly bad.

The government has also dipped into Social Security funds, which is not a good thing. According to CNS News, "The 'intragovernmental' debt is money the Treasury has borrowed out of government trust funds—including the Social Security trust fund—to use on federal expenses other than those the trust funds were set up to cover." This is a disaster in the making. Why is this being allowed.

Obama Promotes New Jobs Plan

But Will It Be Different From Last Time

Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama, made an announcement today, regarding a new job plan he is unveiling for America. However, after 2 and 1/2 years in office, launching job plan, after job plan that have failed to fix widespread unemployment and business closures, the public is somewhat skeptical about the President's latest initiative.

As the phrase goes, the proof will be in the pudding, if it really works this time in putting people back to work. Past attempts have only managed to increase the national deficit, with few jobs created to substantiate such expenditures.

What We Can Learn From Zachery Tims Life And Tragic Death

Zachery Tims

In the wake of the death of popular Florida pastor, Zachery Tims, 42, who was found dead in a W Hotel room in New York, last week, reportedly with drugs on his person, the church needs to examine what led to this tragic end, the public fall from grace that precipitated it and how we can respectfully learn from it.

In his mid-teens, Tims, was a youth offender, sentenced to a juvenile detention center for attempted murder. He also tried and became addicted to drugs in his youth. Tims stated he later became a believer, placing his faith in Jesus. This led him to start a church in Florida, which grew to a congregation of 8,000 members and an accompanying youth center for troubled teens.

In 2009, trouble struck, as stripper, Judy Nguyen, began making internet posts about meeting Tims in a gentleman's club in France, where they began a year long affair. His wife, Riva Tims, who is also the mother of his four children, divorced him, left Tims' ministry and founded a new church in Florida.

We're all human. We all make mistakes. However, the key is to learn from those mistakes and bad choices and stop making them. Tims kept falling into trouble, due to making the wrong choices, which have consequences. To honor God that made us, we should choose right, rather than wrong.

Tims lost his footing, due to temptation and wealth, in a story that should remind Christians to guard their heart and emotions from temptation. Learn to walk away from it, as too much is at stake. Think ahead to the consequences, before you make negative choices that will destroy your life and name. I do not write this to be judgmental, but in the hope you will be careful and spare yourself the pain of going the wrong way.

Money is not bad, but the Bible states, "The love of money is the root of all evil." It didn't say money was the root of all evil, but the love of it, which has caused some to do cruel things to others. When one uses money as a positive tool, through things such as giving to or creating charities, building community centers or helping out a friend in need, this is good and admirable.

As much as I think Tims seemed like a nice person, my eyes welled up with tears when I read of his death and I do not wish to write ill of him, he promoted what is known in some circles as the "Prosperity Gospel" which is morally dangerous. It can warp your perspective on life, because money can't be one's focus in everything. Preaching the message of come to God and get rich, is wrong. The Judiciary Report does not agree with it.

If you are struggling under financial problems, there is nothing wrong with praying to the Lord, asking Him to open doors for you to meet your economic needs and obligations. I've seen God answer such prayers for different people. The Lord has blessed and helped many people in such circumstances. It is also permissible for one to pray for the funds to undertake a goal or dream that is of good intent.

But pastors should not fall into the trap of preaching about getting rich through the Gospel, as that was not the message Jesus promoted. There is nothing wrong with living a humble life. Not everyone will be of great financial means and there is nothing wrong with that. The moral code of the Bible is to place one's faith in Jesus, turn from one's unethical ways (sins) and do good for those around you. Christianity is not seen in the money one has, but in the good one does.

Zachery Tims and Riva Tims

Regarding life, God has shown through the Bible, you can have a spouse, children, friends, family, house(s), car and job. What more could one want. When you experience trouble from bad choices, it will bring home the fact, a walk on the wild side is not worth jeopardizing that.

There are people suffering in this world with illness, trauma from tragedy, painful memories from being raped or abused, the loss of loved ones. The church's goal must be to help the suffering and needy and to give hope to those who want to give up on life, encouraging them not to do so. There are more important things in life than money.

UPDATE: The line "Any government in the world should be able to make due on $14.5 trillion dollars in income per year" should have stated "Any government in the world should be able to make due on $14.5 trillion dollars in income per year (their cut thereof)" and has been fixed.

Why Can't Washington Make It Work

Barack Obama

The GDP of the United States of America is approximately $14.5 trillion dollars, which is a significant sum of money. Yet, Washington felt the necessity to raise the debt ceiling, to negative results, claiming they could not make due on that amount. They claimed it would leave vital national bills unpaid, if they did not increase the current threshold of debt.

The Judiciary Report finds those claims quite dubious. Any government in the world should be able to make due on $14.5 trillion dollars in income per year (their cut thereof). Excessive spending and financially wasteful expenditures is the problem. A lot of money is coming into the national coffers, which could address the nation's financial problems, but a large portion of that figure is being diverted to the wrong things.

First off, if the government eliminated the three unjustifiable wars it has running, many innocent lives would be saved, as well as trillions of dollars, which could be constructively used in America. Further budget cuts at the CIA, FBI and NSA, would prove very beneficial as well, due to the agencies' role in government, usually entailing starting trouble of some sort against innocent Americans or international citizens in the world, in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

As the Judiciary Report sees it, 14,000,000 people should not be out of work and suffering, factories shutting, businesses going under, homes being lost to foreclosure, people wanting to go to university, but can't afford to, all so some can keep unjust tax breaks, illegal wars and unlawful surveillance running. A choice needs to be made now, regarding budget cuts and taxation on the rich, to turn the economy around or things will continue to deteriorate.

The other option is to do nothing and circumstances will make the choices for you, as in the nation completely running out of financial options and having to close a number of agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) and initiatives, as the money simply isn't there to keep it running, with borrowing options extremely narrowing.

The government is playing a dangerous game in Washington, D.C. and it is one they are going to lose, if they remain on the current path they treacherously tread.
