Who Calls The Shots In The White House?
Probably not who you would think. Why is Obama in love with the Muslim Brotherhood? Why is he doing deals with Iran? Why must we think Al Qaeda is on the run? Do some research on Valerie Jarret.
Portland Community Organizers Organize The Loss Of Business/Jobs
The sad part, the organizers don’t live in the area, yet their concerns demands stop Trader Joes from opening a store that would have brought jobs and business revenue to a depressed area in Portland. And the ultimate irony, the site they were going to build on….a vacant two acre lot on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. You just can’t make this stuff up.
_____________________________________________________________________
Trader Joe’s wanted to build a new store in Portland, Oregon. Instead of heading to a tiny neighborhood downtown or towards the suburbs, the popular West Coast grocer chose a struggling area of Northeast Portland. 
The company selected two acres along Martin Luther King Blvd. that had been vacant for decades. It seemed like the perfect place to create jobs, improve customer options and beautify the neighborhood. City officials, the business community, and residents all seemed thrilled with the plan. Then some community organizers caught wind of it.
The fact that most members of the Portland African-American Leadership Forum didn’t live in the neighborhood was beside the point. “This is a people’s movement for African-Americans and other communities, for self-determination,” member Avel Gordly said in a press conference. Even the NAACP piled on, railing against the project as a “case study in gentrification.” (The area is about 25 percent African-American.) (Gentrification? Give me a break, you just tossed away jobs for your community you asshats.)
After a few months of racially tinged accusations and angry demands,Trader Joe’s decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. “We run neighborhood stores and our approach is simple, if a neighborhood does not want a Trader Joe’s, we understand, and we won’t open the store in question.” (Well done PAALF, you saved the community)
Hours after Trader Joe’s pulled out, PAALF leaders arrived at a previously scheduled press conference trying to process what just happened. The group re-issued demands that the now-cancelled development include affordable housing, mandated jobs based on race, and a small-business slush fund. Instead, the only demand being met is two fallow acres and a lot of anger from the people who actually live nearby. (A little caught by surprise boy’s? It’s true some people don’t cave in to unwarranted and unnecessary demands.)
“There are no winners today,” said Adam Milne, owner of an area restaurant. “Only missed tax revenue, lost jobs, less foot traffic, an empty lot and a boulevard still struggling to support its local small businesses.” The store was to be built by a local African American-owned construction company. (They don’t seem to happy with the outcome boy’s)
Artist Kymberly Jeka insisted “this is not what the neighborhood people want. This is terrible.”
Nice job you idiots. Just because you have the Community Organizer and Chief in the White House, doesn’t mean you can toss your weight around making outlandish demands. To bad for that community, maybe you can get Obama to toss you an executive order demanding Trader Joe’s to change their minds.
Police Discover Generational Fraud By Democratic Official
Not surprising, the nanny state has continued the graft of buying votes by handing out free shit for generations, and the takers have all the time in the world to figure out how to take advantage of the process. It is a quid pro quo agreement, vote Democrat and we will feed, clothe, shelter, and educate your kids. What a scam.

Either Luvina Smith really had the munchies after all that pot and needed 5 food stamp cards to cover her appetite… or she was taking the food stamp cards in trade for drugs.
A local government official was busted for drug procession last week and police say she had five EBT cards with her. Those cards were sent to the Department of Agriculture as a part of a federal investigation into possible food stamp fraud.
Possible? Is there any way that having five EBT cards isn’t fraud?
The Deputy Clerk for Alorton, Luvina Smith, was arrested a week ago in Brooklyn, charged with marijuana possession, after police say they found a quarter pound of pot in the car she was driving. Police also took five government EBT cards from her.
“In a lot of cases that we’ve seen the person who receives the benefits will relinquish their card and that pin number, and that gives the dealer the opportunity to call and make sure there’s money on it and they’ll just hang on to the card until the benefit comes through and then receive whatever the dealer may be dealing,” said Chief Tomlinson.
Multigenerational welfare, always a good thing.
When it comes to crime, Smith, a convicted felon, learned from one of Alorton’s legendary criminals; her own mother, longtime mayor Callie Mobley, who was prosecuted for stealing from the village. She eventually served two years in prison for income tax evasion.
Time we had some serious entitlement changes. I try not to use “reform” because that just seems to be a political buzzword word for “we will take it under consideration for a few decades”. If these people are going to take advantage like this, time to take it away!

Health Care Needed Reform Not An Entitlement
This is why health care needed to be reformed. Having a third party, (insurance companies), between you and your doctor/hospital blew costs up. Obamacare adds a fourth party, what did you think would happen?
What The…
….hell is wrong with these people. Who is going to pay for 2.5 million “free agents” health care you idiots?
“We have the CBO report, which rightfully says, that people shouldn’t have job lock. (What the hell is job lock?) If they — we live in a country where there should be free agency. People can do what they want,” Reid told reporters outside of a close policy luncheon. “And what they’re saying here is — and the fact checkers have already done this — the Republicans talk about losing millions of jobs simply isn’t true. It allows people to get out of a job they’re locked into, because of — they have healthcare in their job.” (So the CBO says 2.5 million jobs lost, yet Harry Reid says that this is a republican claim and is not true…anybody else see the problem with that?)
“So my caucus is right on track to understand this. The CBO report is far better for us than it’s not. Republicans should get away from repeal and start talking about some constructive ways to handle the issues that they’re concerned about,” he added. (I think the GOP should stay front and center on Obamacare, it’s problems, it’s costs, and it’s eventual repeal. You want to win 2014 mid-terms? Stay the course, don’t worry about income inequality, illegal immigration, or whatever shiny object the Democraps pull out of their collective asses to distract you with.)
Said Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) today: “I am growing increasingly alarmed at the Democrat’s refusal to not only discuss solutions to fix this calamity, but also by their denial that a problem even exists with Obamacare at all.”
“The Budget Office does not see unemployment falling below 6% for the rest of President Obama’s term. Six percent for the remainder of his term,” said Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas). “Yet despite all of this, the President still won’t get behind genuine pro-growth reforms, he won’t support genuine reforms of our existing programs like Medicare and Social Security that would actually save them and put them on a fiscally sustainable path. He has no plan for controlling our national debt.”
Patriotism Is Never Corny – Means More Today
I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either. – Chris Kyle
