HALF-FULL REPORT 07/05/13
I hope you and your families had a wonderful Fourth of July. I don't think Barack Obama is having a good time. In what has been the worst week ever for his presidency, there's been a race to see which would collapse completely faster - his foreign policy or his domestic policy. Because of the big doings in Egypt, my money's on foreign policy. But when Zero's administration admits, in effect, that his "signature achievement" in domestic policy is unworkable, you have a strong contender for biggest flop. It's been so bad his fan club in the news media has been reduced to calling Obama incompetent - because all other plausible explanations are worse. Liberal journalists are starting to realize they've made a Faustian bargain, Victor Davis Hanson thinks. People now think Obama is more dishonest and more incompetent than was George W. Bush, according to a Pew poll released Monday. The prosecutors in the murder trial of George Zimmerman may have had a worse week. Every witness they called bolstered the case for the defense. Details are coming up. But first, let's revisit the most important Fourth of July week ever. Then we'll Walk Like An Egyptian.
EARNING OUR FREEDOM
As Egyptians celebrate their liberation from the fascism of the Moslem Brotherhood, let us hope Americans will soon be celebrating their liberation from the fascism of Zero. To The Point wishes you all a gloriously happy Fourth of July. Have fun, celebrate America, and take the time to read the entire Declaration of Independence. While you read it, note: what counts is not that the Founding Patriots of America wrote these words - it's what they did. What counts is they put these immortal words into action. They pledged their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor, and fought for America's freedom - knowing that if they failed, they would have been hung by their necks until dead on a gallows, and history would despise them as traitors. Unless people are willing to fight and risk their lives for freedom, they don't deserve it. Freedom must be earned, or else it will be lost. We are losing it in America today. Let us earn our freedom again. 
WE PLEDGE OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, AND OUR SACRED HONOR
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
WILL GEORGE ZIMMERMAN SAVE AMERICA?
What is going on in Egypt is simply astounding. The pictures -such as those of this UPI story, are jaw-dropping. Especially when you consider what millions upon millions of Egyptians are demonstrating against: radical Islamism and Sharia law which they equate with fascist tyranny. Who or what is behind these gigantic protests? An amorphous movement called Tamarod, meaning "Rebel" or "Rebellion" in Arabic. Its goal is the resignation of President Morsi and the removal of the Moslem Brotherhood from power, followed by new elections. Now, here's what almost no one gets so far: The Tamarod movement is Egypt's Tea Party. Both are anti-fascist freedom movements. Of course, the US Tea Parties have a far deeper and more solid foundation - the US Constitution and the demand for the federal government to limit itself to the Constitution's enumerated powers. Nonetheless, what is happening in Egypt should inspire all Tea Partyers in America. If tens of millions of Egyptians can demand the resignation of their corrupt fascist leader, why can't tens of millions of Americans do the same? Well, then, why aren't they? Americans have the greatest tradition of freedom in human history. Egyptians don't have any at all. So why aren't vast numbers of Americans in the streets demanding their freedom from the federalie fascisti, led by an irretrievably corrupt president who hates their country? What does it take? Maybe it takes George Zimmerman getting acquitted.
SURVIVING A RIOT
Korean shopkeepers during the 1992 Rodney King race riots in Los Angeles
As much as no sane person would want urban and suburban rioting, there are thugs making noise in social media that they would use the acquittal of Florida neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman as an excuse to riot and loot on a grand scale, not just in Sanford, FL where events took place, or in Florida, but nationwide. These criminals—there’s no other way to describe them—are asserting that they will use an acquittal as a excuse nationwide to go on a rampage in many areas.
The last time we saw rioting on a very large scale, it was very, very bad.
The very first thing you need to do is figure out a neighborhood protection plan (NPP). If you haven’t figure done out with your neighbors, I’d suggest you get a copy of (shameless commercial plug coming) A Failure of Civility and start working with them on that, posthaste.I’d suggest that caliber is less important than magazine capacity and accuracy in such a situation, and that firearms with excellent penetration qualities and long range aren’t optimal. It’s tough to argue a case for lethal force at 400 yards even against a mob, and if your bullet is recovered from the body of a neighbor hiding in a closet, the court will still hold you responsible.
“OBAMA SUPPORTS TERRORISMâ€
This banner was carried at "the largest number in a political event in the history of mankind" -- the BBC's description of the massive protests throughout Egypt on Sunday (6/30) against the Muslim Brotherhood regime of President Mohamed Morsi. Barack Hussein Obama had hailed the protests against Mr. Mubarak as the dawning of an "Arab Spring." But he distanced himself from these much larger protests against the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood -- and the people of Egypt hate him for it. Here's another photo:
A TALE OF TWO COUNTRIES
Guayaquil, Ecuador. Chile and Ecuador provide an almost perfect test case of competing economic visions. Back in 1980, Ecuador had a slightly higher per capita income than Chile. In the past 33 years, Ecuador has increased its real per capita income a little more than threefold, but during the same period Chile has increased its per capita income more than sixfold. Chile now has the highest per capita income in South America, and most of its citizens are now enjoying a middle-class life style. Why has Chile done so much better than Ecuador? The answer is clear and quite instructive.
THE PALE SHADOW OF OBAMA IN AFRICA
[Today, 7/01, President Zero continues his $100 million African vacation with a visit to Tanzania. He is not going to, nor has he ever been to as president, the country of his alleged father - Kenya. In response, this essay was published today in Kenya's most widely read newspaper, the Daily Nation, by Kenya's most prominent attorney and legal scholar.-JW] President Barack Obama's visit to three countries in Africa has failed to excite, annoy or even disappoint. In fact, it is slowly passing out as a non-event. President Obama is not Candidate Obama of five years ago. He is a pale shadow of the man who mesmerized the world with his oratorical skills, inspirational speeches and wide smiles. He is a limping version of the giant of a man who swept the world with his moving speeches, deep thinking and a great promise of a better tomorrow. President Obama is not the man the American people gambled their fate with. Five years after his first election, Obama has shrunk so much in stature that he is barely recognizable in the global stage were it not for his black skin. So how does one explain the dramatic metamorphosis of the giant into a dwarf in such a short time?
LIBERALS ARE LIKE SLINKIES
HALF-FULL REPORT 06/28/13
Aren't you dizzy? This week's events are like a ride on Full Throttle, the world's fastest-tallest roller coaster that just opened (6/22) at Six Flags Magic Mountain north of LA. Might as well start with the Treason Vote in the Senate yesterday (6/27). The 2,000 page Amnesty Bill - S744 - passed 68-32. Here's the roll call. All 54 Dems-Yes, 32 Pubs-No. The 14 Pubs voting Yes: Alexander-TN, Ayotte-NH, Cheisa-NJ, Collins-ME, Corker-TN, Flake-AZ, Graham-SC, Hatch-UT, Heller-NV, Hoeven-ND, Kirk-IL, McCain-AZ, Murkowski-AK, Rubio-FL. 14 reasons why the Republican Party as ruled by its Establishment Elite has to be demolished, as in going the way of the Whigs. Supposedly, the bill is DOA in the House. The fate of our country seems now dependent on the word of John Boehner. So -- ready to get on Full Throttle and ride through the week?
