Kellogg's Rice Krispies 'class action settlement' between 06/01/2009 & 03/01/2010 may be entitled to up to $15

     The settlement is in response to a lawsuit over Kellogg's – in terms that they falsely advertised that Rice Krispies supported a persons immunity system despite evidence that claims that it did not.
     Kellogg's denies any wrongdoing and stands by it's advertising; the Court did not make a decision over who was right in this lawsuit – as such, a class action claim form is available and those who believe to have purchased the product can fill out a Kellogg's Rice Krispies Class Action claim form HERE.  http://www.cerealadvertisingsettlement.com/index

What! Ban our Flag? Make him a 1 term president. VOTE at Fox News.....

He has harbored in an entirely new 'defeatist' lexicon into the American main stream, alienated blacks versus everyone else while further relegating them to suck on the Nanny State teat, he panders to illegal Mexican aliens, he denigrats American Values at every turn here and abroad, he is bankrupting America's values and economy either deliberately or out of stupidity, he is corrupting the work ethic, he is hippity-hopping from city-to-city campaigning on the taxpayers' dime while trying to 'o'fool' another electorate into supporting his anti-American, Marxist socialist, facist, anti-colonialist anti-Western, one-world, class warfare agenda.  Under his "misguided leadership", so far, 600,000+ 'commie pukes', fascist SEIU 'brown shirts', and ignorant o'fools have voted 'yes' to banning The American Flag in schools ... so as not to offend alien foreigners!  What'll be next o'mam's sharia law? -- rfh

     Go to FOX and vote NO on banning the American flag in America-- VOTE !!!  This is disgusting, to put it mildly.  Your voice needs to be heard.
     This is just sickening.  Only 76.15% have voted on the FOX poll to NOT ban the flag in school and something like 18.0% voted YES, to ban it.  What is going on in this country??
     Fox is running a poll about whether the flag should be banned in schools in order not to inflame Hispanic students.  The poll is being sandbagged by SEIU and we should mount a counter action if you agree with me that the flag should be taken down for no one.
     Moveon.org, funded by George Soros, Organizing for America , and SEIU, "Service Employee International UNION", have been twittering to go to Fox Poll and vote to BAN the American Flag and right now it is still working (18%).
     It's time to SHOW THEM WHAT TRUE PATRIOTS BELIEVE!!!

Interesting from several angles....one, the LONDON telegraph reports on Michelle's non-visit.
Two, Michelle has at least twenty assistants, one of which is protocol and travel.  Wouldn't you think that this visit would be worked out to everyone's availability? You can't just pop in on a country's president and expect him to drop everything and cater to OUR First Lady.  Not our President, but his globetrotting wife who is squeezing everything she can out of being a celebrity .  Read on.....

Jacob Zuma snubs Michelle Obama during First Lady's South Africa visit

South Africa President Jacob Zuma has snubbed the visiting Michelle Obama by sending his prisons minister to meet the first lady at the airport and failing to see her during her three-day stay.

5:22PM BST 21 Jun 2011
     Mr Zuma was out of the country for the first day of Mrs Obama's second solo trip abroad on Tuesday and although he returned on Monday night, aides said he was "not available" to meet her.
     Instead, he arranged for Corrective Services Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to greet her on her arrival in Pretoria on Monday night, and one of his three wives, Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma, to meet her briefly on Tuesday.
     Mrs Obama, her daughters Sasha and Malia and her mother Marian Robinson, were also granted a rare audience with 92-year-old former president Nelson Mandela at his Johannesburg home.
     It was Mrs Obama's first encounter with the global icon, although her husband Barack Obama met him when still a senator on a 2006 Africa tour. Mrs Obama's aides revealed that a mobile phone photograph taken of that meeting now hangs in Mr Mandela's office.
     When Mrs Obama made her first solo trip, to Mexico, she was guest of honour at a state dinner hosted by President Calderón and his wife.
     Her visit to South Africa is aimed at advancing her international youth engagement agenda as well as highlighting Mr Obama's support for "democracy, development and economic opportunities across Africa".
     But it coincides with a cooling in relations between South Africa and the United States. Last week, President Jacob Zuma issued a sharp riposte to an appeal by Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, to African leaders to help remove Libya's Col Muammar Gaddafi.
     "We strongly believe that the (UN Security Council) resolution is being abused for regime change, political assassinations and foreign military occupation," he told parliament the day after Mrs Clinton's speech.
     South African officials insisted that Mr Zuma was simply busy – and Mrs Obama had rejected the offer of a meeting at 9am on Wednesday because she was making a speech in Soweto.
     Zizi Kodwa, Mr Zuma's spokesman, refused to discuss the president's appointments in the coming days, but said his diary was full and could not easily be changed.
     "Even when the president is in South Africa, he is not on holiday and cannot meet anybody at any time," he said. "Why is he not meeting the head of state of an African country who is coming to South Africa? Because he has a schedule." Clayson Monyela, spokesman for South Africa's foreign office, said that since Mrs Obama is not a head of state or cabinet minister, there was no onus on Mr Zuma to meet her.
     "It's totally wrong to suggest this is a snub," he said. "If Mr Zuma or the International Relations minister were in the country they would have met her.   We recognise this is a historic visit and that's why she has been welcomed by senior cabinet ministers." Professor Chris Landsberg, head of the University of Johannesburg's politics department and a guest lecturer at the Diplomatic Academy of South Africa's foreign office, said even if it was not a snub, it was a "missed opportunity".
     "There is no doubt there's been some irritation on both sides over Libya and I would have expected them to meet if he was in the country," he said. "It might perhaps have been a chance for Mrs Obama to pass some direct messages from her husband, clarify the position and ease some tensions."

SIMPLY AMAZING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT
Isn't it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years?  And, they even uncovered photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.!  Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a wedge from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade.  Not only that, they know which wedge!  And, each & every day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates on Tiger's sex rehab stay, his wife's plans for divorce, as well as the dates & tournaments in which he will play.
Now, Barack Obama has been in office for  over two years, yet this very same press:
Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;
Or find any of Obama's high school or college classmates;
Or locate any of his college papers or grades;
Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education;
Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's;
Or even find Michelle Obama's  Princeton thesis on racism.
  They just can't seem to uncover any of this. 
  Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth! 
  Simply amazing, isn't it?

From: Senator Russell Pearce < Russell.Pearce@actionpolitics.com > Subject: Urgent: Obama Enacts AMNESTY by Executive Order!


Obama Dictates: AMNESTY NOW!
With the Stroke of a Pen Barack Obama Has Granted Amnesty to Virtually All Illegal Aliens
This is the most important, and troubling, email I have ever been forced to write.
     What I am about to tell you is unthinkable. It is also 100% true. (Check news reports online to see for yourself!)
Last Friday, with no fanfare, no press coverage, and with every effort made to hide his actions from the American people...
     Barack Obama enacted the nightmarish DREAM Act!
Opposed by a majority of the American people and TWICE defeated in Congress, the DREAM Act grants amnesty to Illegal Aliens criminally residing in the United States if they agree to enlist in the U.S. military or enter college.
     The Obama administration memo from the John Morton, Director of I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) directs I.C.E. agents now to use "prosecutorial discretion" with regard to enforcing immigration laws.
     Writes Director Morton of the new Obama Administration policy not to enforce immigration laws: "When ICE favorably exercises prosecutorial discretion, it essentially decides not to assert the full scope of the enforcement authority available to the agency."
     You read that right: according to the Obama administration; "favorable" enforcement is NOT enforcing the law!
According to one of the first press reports to break this important story, the new Obama policy is cut and dry: "federal immigration officials do not have to deport illegal aliens if they are enrolled in any type of education program, if their family members have volunteered for U.S. military service, or even if they are pregnant or nursing."
     Does Barack Obama expect us to stand idly by and watch him grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens - AGAINST the rule of law, AGAINST recent votes of Congress, and AGAINST the express wishes of the American people?
     This is the most important message I've ever sent!  We must unite today!  We must speak with one voice!
     Barack Obama cannot be allowed to think that his actions will be allowed to go unchallenged.  Whether through public pressure, through Congress, or through legal action in America's courts we will not let this unprecedented, un-American act stand!
     Join me today - help BAN AMNESTY NOW - lead the fight to stop this most-blatant AMNESTY attack!

Cowboy solution (This is Good) I really like the gasoline part!!!
I have lived, loved, lost and loved again. Life is not easy,..... but it is what it is.
Cowboy rules for: Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Nebraska, Idaho, and the rest of the Wild West are as follows:
  1. Pull your pants up.  You look like an idiot.

  2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.
  3. Let's get this straight: it's called a 'gravel road.'  I drive a pickup truck because I want to.  No matter how slow you drive, you're gonna get dust on your Lexus.  Drive it or get out of the way.
  4. They are cattle.  That's why they smell like cattle.  They smell like money to us.  Get over it.  Don't like it?  I-10 & I-40 go east and west, I-17 & I-15 goes north and south.  Pick one and go.
  5. So you have a $60,000 car.  We're impressed.  We have $250,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
  6. Every person in the Wild West waves.  It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
  7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin' in during a hunt, we WILL shoot it outta your hand.  You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
  8. Yeah.  We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk.  You really want sushi and caviar?  It's available at the corner bait shop.
  9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season.  It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for women.  That's applied to all women, regardless of age.
11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu.  Order steak, or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads.  We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup!  Oh, yeah .. We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!
13. You bring 'Coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.  You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
15. Yeah, we have golf courses.  But don't hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish.
16. Turn down that blasted car stereo!  That thumpity-thump ain't music, anyway.  We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers!  Refer back to #1!
A true Westerner will send this to at least 10 others and a few new friends that probably won't get it, but we're friendly so we share in hopes you can begin to understand what a real life is all about!!!
And there is more.............
The COWBOY Solution to save Gasoline.
 
OBAMA wants us to cut the amount of gasoline we use.....
The best way to stop using so much gasoline is to deport 15 million illegal immigrants!
That would be 15 million less people using our gas.
The price of gas would come down.....
Bring our troops home from Afghanistan to guard the borders....
When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the Border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Afghanistan ...
Tell him if he wants to come to AMERICA then he must serve a tour in OUR military....
Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it......
After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country.....
He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal resident.....
This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Afghanistan and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. .......

If they refuse to serve, ship them to Afghanistan anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.
Problem solved.....
If you think this is a good solution to both the problems, forward it to your friends

Brief · June 27, 2011
The Foundation
"Here comes the orator!  With his flood of words, and his drop of reason." -- Benjamin Franklin

Political Futures




Barack Obama is reminiscent of simpleton Chauncey Gardiner
"Which past leader does Barack Obama most closely resemble?   His admirers, not all of them liberals, used to compare him to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt.  Well, Obama announced his candidacy in Lincoln's hometown two days before Abe's birthday, and he did expand the size and scope of government.  But no one seriously compares him with Lincoln or FDR anymore.  Conservative critics have taken to comparing him, as you might imagine, to Jimmy Carter. ... But there is another comparison I think more appropriate for a president who, according to one of his foreign-policy staffers, prefers to 'lead from behind.'  The man I have in mind is Chauncey Gardiner, the character played by Peter Sellers in the 1979 movie 'Being There.'  As you may remember, Gardiner is a clueless gardener who is mistaken for a Washington eminence and becomes a presidential adviser.  Asked if you can stimulate growth through temporary incentives, Gardiner says, 'As long as the roots are not severed, all is well and all will be well in the garden.'  'First comes the spring and summer,' he explains, 'but then we have fall and winter.  And then we get spring and summer again.'  The president is awed as Gardiner sums up, 'There will be growth in the spring.'  Kind of reminds you of Barack Obama's approach to the federal budget, doesn't it?  In preparing his February budget, Obama totally ignored the recommendations of his own fiscal commission headed by Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson.  Others noticed: The Senate rejected the initial budget by a vote of 97-0.  Then, speaking in April at George Washington University, Obama said he was presenting a new budget with $4 trillion in long-term spending cuts.  But there were no specifics.  Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf was asked last week if the CBO had prepared estimates of this budget.  'We don't estimate speeches,' Elmendorf, a Democrat, explained.  'We need much more specificity than was provided in that speech for us to do our analysis.'  Evidently 'first we have the spring and summer' was not enough." -- political analyst Michael Barone

  Here it is as it appeared: 
      "Some employees are simply irreplaceable.  Take Michelle Obama: The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run 'programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting.'
     In 2005 the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000 - nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator.
     Her husband, Barak Obama, had just become a U.S. Senator.  He requested a $1 million "Earmark" for the UC Medical Center.
 Way to network, Michelle!
      Now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled.  How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000?
      Let me add that Michelle's position was a part-time, 20-hours-a-week job.
      My thoughts: How did this bit of "quid pro quo" (scratch my back - I'll scratch yours) corruption escape the sharp reporters that dug through Sarah Palin's garbage and kindergarten files?
      I hope this is forwarded so many times that the media will HAVE to cover it.
  • Recession is when your neighbor loses his job.
  • Depression is when you lose your job.
  • Recovery is when Obama loses his job.

Then Obama:  Up $22T+ in only 3 years! $22T to $26T+ by 2015!  Since November 2011 to January 2013 he has added $2 Trillion to the deficit!  States' Unfunded: $3.2T+! • (Dec10) From Jan'09 the deficit: $10.2T→$14.6T up $4.3T/42%! -- Federal unfunded liabilities total $84 trillion .. equal to 5.7 percent of the present value of all future GDP, which translates into about 31 percent of the long run federal revenue estimate,” the report states.  “Thus federal revenues would have to rise immediately and permanently to 24.1 percent of GDP to cover the fiscal imbalance.” (source: http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/16/report-federal-unfunded-liabilities-total-84-trillion/)

What were you doing in the last hour while the U.S. Gov't spent $188 Million Dollars of our money!  (Every Hour, Every Day!) (Apr11)   In 8 years, President Bush added $5 trillion to the national debt; President Obama, according to a revised Dec11 GAO report, added $4T+ to the U.S. deficit in 2011 alone!  The GAO estimates the deficit, including o'scamcare & mandates, may grow from $15T+ to over $26T+!  UPDATE: A little-noticed event occurred at approximately midnight on Monday, October 31, 2011.  The National Debt exceeded the GDP!  Imagine what these numbers are going to be now that Obama is reelected!

A trillion seconds pass in 31,688 years.  At $1/sec it would take 41,194 years just to pay off o'tax'n spend's new Feb12-Feb13 added debt - 538,696 years to pay only the national debt or 4,404,632 years to settle the debt+unfunded liabilities!

"Over the last four years our national debt has risen nearly $6 trillion, and just last week the debt topped an astounding $16 trillion.  To put that in perspective, $16 trillion is enough money to fund the US military, along with the military of every NATO country combined… for the next sixteen years!  Government spending is projected to hit $3.8 trillion this year alone.  Even after every tax dollar paid by Americans has been counted, the government will still overspend by another $1.13 trillion.  Every single second of the day our government spends over $12,000.  So in the time it takes you to read this article, roughly five minutes, our government has spent $3.6 million.  It take four seconds for the government to spend what the average American earns in an entire year."  (source: by Tim Phillips 17Sep12 at TownHall.com)
    "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself.  They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good." -- George Washington

Thousands of Deadly Islamic Terror Attacks Since 9/11
     It has been suggested that o'who?, the clown, and 'those who surround him' are not the bumbling fools they appear to be.  Nor are they one of the 'Three Stooges' but rather are shrewd implementation/drivers and fellow-travelers of policies designed to disarm the citizenry & collapse the American economy.  Why?  o'nocchio's grandiose scheme to "fundamentally transform America" is more than simple campaign rhetoric as can be seen by his use of "enabling acts" to circumvent the Constitution of the United States.  As Ollie used to say, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into."
