Low Blow


I am going to role-play like a Democrat on this blog post. Yes, I am going to stretch the truth, be a low-life demagogue, and "not let a crisis go to waste" as Rahm Emanuel would propound. Unfortunately I will not have the majority of the national media backing me up in the low blow that I am about to throw. So therefore I really don't expect these half-truths to catch the imagination of the American voters. In a sense I will be pissing up a rope ... but, what the hay, here goes ...

As we all know the United States suffered a massive influx of young  illegal immigrant children from Central America this past summer ...  all under suspicious circumstances ... for no other reason than Mexico looked the other way to these transients ... when it normally would have stopped them at its southern border and sent them back home. This was then combined with the United States Immigration Service's many suspicious dealings with these waifs. It wouldn't allow the press to interview them, it dispersed them throughout all the fifty states without indicating to where they were resettled, and, finally it never did any rigorous health screenings on these children ... all very suspicious and unsettling.

Now comes the zinger, a significant number of our native children throughout our country are now coming down with a novel enterovirus of unknown origin ... see: USA Today Story. One child in Rhode Island has already died and many others are suffering the strange after-effect of a mysterious paralysis. Can these illnesses be connected to this summer's massive Central American influx ... where this type of illness is more commonplace? (See: The Gateway Pundit.)  We might never know because of the conspiratorial secrecy of our Immigration Service. But this could turn out to be an extremely disturbing miscalculation on the part of the Obama administration. Because of the seriousness of this speculation, it requires itself to be investigated in Congress ... particularly before the November elections.

I think that all American parents need to appreciate better the possible danger that now lurks in our nation's schools ... maybe as a result of the Obama administration's political intrigue.

Afterward: If you think that I was unfair with my above yellow journalism, then read the following: Breitbar Story and point out how I was any different.

Le Jeux Sont Fait


What was once a sure bet ... building a casino ... has turned sour. The $2.4 billion Revel Casino in Atlantic City has just declared bankruptcy after less than a year of operation (see: CNBC Story ). The losses should top $1 billion for the initial investors and Atlantic City will continue to take it on the chin after years of hoopla.  This is an oft-repeated story. The casinos in Rhode Island are have been in steady decline for years.  I stopped going to them when it became obvious that their payout percentages were being reduced to make up for declining business ... which, of course, caused even greater visitor defections ... a vicious cycle.

Now the native-American casinos in Connecticut, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, are also apparently on the downward slope and have extended their hands to Uncle Sam for some more sugar (see: Breitbart Story).  Six years ago these casinos were on a building binge ... expanding their gambling, lodging, dining, and commercial retail areas.  Now this optimism appears to have been misplaced.  Plus, Massachusetts is on the verge of authorizing slot parlors and destination casinos which will surely erode business away from Connecticut.  And, if the potential investors in these Massachusetts casinos are the slightest bit perspicacious, they probably should re-jigger their financial models to account for what is apparently a growing aversion to tossing away money on the part of the Supp-hose set.

The chips are down.
