Well this is just great! Do you remember a while back when we couldn't find out where the bank bailout money went? We now learn some of it wound up in overseas banks. Don't you just love transparency? We need to know how much U.S. taxpayer money has ended up in banks outside the U.S. We have a situation where the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department are doing things that appear to be accountable to no one. When the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke uses the term "unusual uncertainty" to describe the U.S. economy, things are not going well.

Videos are being posted practically daily on the Internet about the November 2, 2010 General Election. This video captures the sentiments of millions of people. Hopefully they are voters and will turn out in November to register their views about the direction we're headed as a country. As our President has said often: Elections have consequences.

It has happened again. A senior member of the Senate admits they don't know what they're doing. In discussing the proposed financial reform legislation that is nearing final votes in Congress, Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd said yesterday: "No one will know until this is actually in place how it works." Here's how the Washington Post reported on the story. This should sound familiar. It is the same comment Nancy Pelosi made in selling health care reform legislation.

Two Morrison County BPOU officers have decided to take a leave of absence through the August 10 Primary. Here's the story in today's Brainerd Dispatch.

ALARM! Every time we want to believe that our nation's debt "situation" is manageable we seem to get a report such as this. This should scare every single American. It doesn't matter where you reside on the political spectrum, the cold facts present a dire financial picture. We have lost complete control of the federal budget. The Congressional Budget Office can't keep up with the slight of hand that is occurring. Massive cuts are needed to bring the federal budget back into balance and to return the national debt to a manageable level. Very few voices are calling for the changes that are needed. Even fewer are the voices of those in positions to do something about it.

This is enlightening. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Congress has to pass the health care bill in order to find out what's in it. Huh? It is thinking (non-thinking?) like this that has brought us to this point in our nation's history.

American guns are under assault. Gun owners beware.

Here are today's corrections to the U.N. Climate Change Report that Global Warming Alarmists have been relying on. Surely more corrections and admissions are forthcoming.
