Everybody's Fall "To Do" List



Everybody’s Fall "To Do" List

Steven R. Berryman
 
[from The Tentacle -  September 23rd 2013]

http://thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5978
 

In no particular order, here is a Fall checklist of “things to do” and/or be aware of in the October 1st time frame. In this period of acorn gathering and inventory for Winter, one cannot be too organized.


Obamacare begins to kick-in.


Healthcare markets begin to offer you a “virtual marketplace,” where those without insurance can shop for and select their policy. This is a great idea for those without insurance, as the government and the Internal Revenue Service will fine you if you remain uncovered. This amount increases each year.


Poor people especially are encouraged to take advantage of this, especially as fines to them are waived, and, really, they’re just giving the stuff away.


Oh, and about that “if you like your plan you can keep it” stuff, many companies with 50+ employees will drop your plan and choose to pay a minor per-employee fine instead.


[Exemptions and waivers from the most insidious impact of the new national healthcare laws are already enjoyed by your Congress, congressional staff, the military, McDonald’s, Walmart, and many other savvy “players.”]


Pipes may freeze


This is at least as important as the above.


Don’t forget to walk outside at least long enough to see if you have turned off your outside water for the season – so the pipes don’t freeze. And then go downstairs to bleed the water line so there is no residual standing water. Frozen pipes do burst.


No, this has nothing at all to do with Maryland’s “Rain Tax.”


Buy your last guns


By October 1st – at least for Marylanders lucky enough to live under Gov. Martin O’Malley’s watch – you will have many fundamental firearms rights reduced and trampled. Buy your last handgun before mandated testing and fees and waiting periods (some just because Maryland State Police can’t keep pace with more stringent background checks) begin under law.


You will be in far better shape going forward if you do. Owners of handguns are “grandfathered” past some requirements if they are already in the club…


Owners of AR-15 style (the semi-autos NOT used in the Naval Yard shootings) long-guns, should be sure to buy one or have it legally transferred before it’s too late. Again, you will be able to own, but not purchase after October 1, 2013.


How else can we be prepared to “take it back” should the constitutional need arise?


Check your roof gutters for blockages


Yes, leaves have been falling, and birds have been nesting around your roof gutters and drains. Get on a ladder – or find some illegal immigrants-supported lawn service – to check this out for you. Ice damming along your roof can cause expansion and splitting of your open roof gutters, potentially leaking inside your home during the worst possible of timeframes.


In this case you would need to hire a drywall company possibly comprised of more illegal workers (who are NOT entitled to Obamacare so far, by the way...unless they are poor?).


Double-check what your government is up to


This is the time of year that defense contractors typically encourage “wars of choice” and other folly, especially in the Middle-East. You already know about the Arab Spring – Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc – now beware of Syria.


I just get that strange sinking feeling (supported by troop movements, moving Navy fleets around in the Med, and information from prestigious British tabloids) that despite all the fine international humanitarian work by Russian President Vlad of Putin, we still want to bomb something (anything?)....well, maybe at least 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles worth.


Air-launched, sub-launched, ship-launched, drone-launched. We have this great combo-deal going now…


And make sure to check the weather-strips around your doors and windows.


This could save you hundreds in gas and electricity bills over time.


...Well, you get it. Lots going on, and if you don’t make a list, and stick to it, some of this may get by you.


And if so, you’ll be sorry!

American Dreamers and Racism in America


 
 
“American Dreamers” and Racism in America
 
Steven R. Berryman
 
[from The Tentacle -  August 19th 2013]


Please indulge me today, in an effort to superimpose what is now considered “American Dreaming,” along with observations on the state of racism in the current environs.
 
Arguments persist about what is the “American dream,” who is entitled to it, and also whether racism is diminished since the famous Martin Luther King, Jr., (MLK) “I Have A Dream” speech and the rise of our bi-racial presidency.
 
Potentially exportable – fully under law – undocumented/illegal -immigrants, recently counted as having been spared the trip back home, amount to about 400,000 according to a lead piece widely syndicated from National Journal by Rebecca Kaplan (August 16).
 
 
The new “dreamers” are defined as the young, mostly Mexican children of those coming to America the illegal way, without passport or visa. We are told – as a political consideration – that they one day dream to become American citizens. Maryland will surely help now, with in-state tuition rates, no-questions-asked student enrollment K-12, and free medical help under provisions of Obamacare that will surely be allowed to afford it under a poverty exemption from any contribution.
 
I assure you the Internal Revenue Service will not be knocking on doors of illegals-havens looking for back dues to America.
 
Now congratulations to you, as if you agree with any of the postulations above, you are a racist! YOU are the one that MLK, Jr. preached about...
 
Despite this post-racial Obama Administration, we continue to use racism accusations like a shield, for whatever purpose seems to fit; typically some cause using “fairness” or equality as keywords/code-words. How about “leveling the playing field; that sounds nice, too...
 
So, the American dream of our recent ancestors has been transformed. It used to be a dream of economic success and ample retirement time to reflect upon it comfortably. A basement railroad set in every pot. A family vacation to see the world’s largest ball of string, or whatever it used to be. Homeownership was a part of it, too. Then they gave that one away – because economic parity became a fairness issue – to everyone, hence the Great Recession...
 
Now, the “American Dream” is not even reserved only for American citizens any more. Our nation has become some international game show where it’s rigged. You just have to get here to win. Does this concept make me a racist?
 
Is there no value to patriotism, and pride of American culture, values, and language?
 
But let’s break it down a bit more specifically now. Has political leadership in America's great cities – by our own citizens – fulfilled anyone’s dream? Examine the quality of life in the Anacostia area of Washington. Of the Cabrini Green projects in Chicago. Camden, New Jersey. Downtown Los Angeles or Boston’s baddest side. Self led by liberal ideology in most cases, today is not a “Great Society” or a war on poverty won, but ghetto. Bankruptcy, stagnation, hopelessness, and an entitlement-social ethic pervade. In short, an economic trap was fully set and worked!
 
Of course, “you can’t do it by yourself!”….that would require work ethic, creativity, competition, winners and losers and all that.
 
A Sunday column in The Frederick News-Post by local columnist Jack Topchik (“A Dread, a Bomb, and a Revolution,”) concerning the state of racism concludes with this summary paragraph:
 
“But equality does not necessarily equate to acceptance. President Obama is vilified daily on right-wing and tea party radio and on the Internet in ways that suggest that it is not his politics but rather the man and his heritage that they abhor. False stereotypes of welfare mothers and lazy Hispanics persist. Yes, we still have a long way to go.”
 
What do they “abhor,” his skin color, Jack? Quite the unsupported leap on your part...
 
When empty accusations, unsupported in major publications are left unanswered by a biased publisher, we have surely slid-back to a more racist time, when baiting the people was common practice.
 
Now, shouldn’t a successful step away from a racist past include more acceptance, and less incendiary rhetoric?
 
I know we can get along better than this!

Defining the Terms of “Immigration Reform”




















Defining the Terms of “Immigration Reform”


Steven R. Berryman

from The Tentacle, February 4th 2013 

 http://thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5602

Count me as being pro comprehensive immigration reform, as long as I get to weigh-in on rational national goals, as well as on the traps, such as unwittingly allowing chain migration in the guise of some family re-unification program under a de-facto amnesty.

It’s not engineers, doctors and lawyers jumping our fences and sending tribute back to some home country; in many cases, it’s semi-skilled workers unable to make it in their own country of origin. Two of three, in the case of Mexican border jumpers, end up on the dole of the American safety net in some fashion.

You carry that cost, especially in Maryland, where the governor seeks to raise your taxes, including the gasoline tax.

A comprehensive plan for how to handle normalization with any of the 20,000,000 illegals already present (the correct number, according to the C.I.S. Center for Immigration Study) must be considered carefully.

Anti-illegals groups like Help Save Maryland insist on a system including payment of back taxes after an accounting, fines if any, criminal background tests, medical evaluation, proof of ability to support themselves and an approved sponsor, English language skills evaluation, classes in citizenship and American culture, and any appropriate waiting period.

Some of these should be put into place as requirement even before the issue of a driver’s license, depending on reciprocal laws in neighboring countries.

An automatic qualification for social safety net programs cannot be part of the deal.

Illegals advocacy groups are promoting the other vision, a tad closer to an amnesty.

From The Washington Post: “Citizenship question roils both parties,” by Peter Wallsten and Rosalind S. Helderman, Published: January 31:

“Immigration advocates close to the White House have vowed to pressure [Barack] Obama if he agrees to what they consider unreasonable preconditions to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Conservatives are either insisting on strict contingencies or refusing to back the idea of citizenship.”

Some Republicans are having an identity crisis over this!

The article continues…

[President] Obama is under pressure to deliver on citizenship from supporters who believe they made his re-election possible. Moreover, many Hispanic leaders think that in his first term, Obama broke a promise to pursue an immigration overhaul. Some advocates remain wary that the president and Democratic lawmakers might be tempted to bargain away their best hope for a clear citizenship path in their quest for a bipartisan deal.”

Are we confusing a “clear path” with an easy path here?

Citizenship, in order to have value, must include strings.

Democrats seek to pay back a political chit from the Obama re-election, continuing a steady stream of would-be party members. Republicans seem ready to betray their previous platform positions, in part to mitigate the above, in part out of their absolute failure to convey conservatism on this issue.

In the old days, we used to call the above a “cop out.”

The devil will be in the details. The president will claim his election mandate to force a final end-product in new immigration policy to his own liking. My guess is that this will end up looking like Obamacare, in that he has no incentive to truly negotiate any position. He does not need to run for the presidency ever again!

Please note that this is not simply about the Hispanics. Asian, African, and Middle-Eastern visas are violated at a record pace now. It is widely known that overstaying a lawful visa is the easy way to “come to America,” and it is equally well known that Homeland Security/ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) does not have the resource to follow up on even a small percentage of violators.

Advocates for undocumented – or “illegal status – immigrants allow that there should be some kind of squatters right to becoming automatically American, and allowed to stay, unfettered and unencumbered after some period of presence, yet undefined.

There are currently between 16 and 21 million illegals present today; which ones to keep, and which ones to deport? If you can prove you’ve been here for two years, is that good enough? One month? Five years?… How is this proven? Present an advantageous utility bill record to any ICE office?

Hopefully we won’t be forced to “pass the bill in order to see what’s in it” again… You know how that one worked out!

How 3 Presidents handled Jobs issues with Deportations


 
Yup….should be done again!
Subject: Fw: 3 Presidents......You'll love this. 
Three Presidents 
No one in either party has the courage to do this.


 What did Presidents Hoover , Truman, 
and Eisenhower have in common?

 
 


 
  What did Presidents Hoover , Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?

This is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn't know of this until it was pointed out to me.

Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.

In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower
deported 13 million Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them!

Now, if they could deport the illegal aliens back then, they could surely do it today. If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.

Why, you might ask, can't they do this today? Actually the answer is quite simple. Hoover , Truman, and Eisenhower were men of honor, not untrustworthy politicians looking for votes!




Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes - 12 to 20 million illegal aliens - are depending on it.

 This is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn't know of this until it was pointed out to me.

Movie Night about The Illegals Problem



Movie Night about “The Illegals Problem”

…Not Political-Correctness!

Steven R. Berryman

[MediaHooker August 26, 2012]









(Full disclosure is that I work with Brad Botwin in support of HelpSaveMaryland, and have for years; I promoted the movie THEY COME TO AMERICA, along with a host of patriotic colleagues)


Filmmaker Dennis Michael Lynch got stuck in traffic, but did make the Q & A for the Frederick Community College screening of his documentary, “They Come to America.”

This sassy pretty-boy from the Hamptons obviously has some cash to spread around in search of his filmmaker fantasy, but the result was first class production values and editing; he chose his topic – Illegals – so very well.

The rape of America by the tide of disrespectful illegals is already widely documented, especially in its worst-case forms, so what made this version any different?  Lynch dug the topic, but was not the cheerleader; he left that for Blaine Young and Sheriff Chuck Jenkins, who already own it.

Filmmaker Lynch acted the scientist in his methodology of moviemaking.  He balanced a formula of man-on-the-street, plus some infomercial; add some reality TV, and stick in 2 shills from each side.  Lobbyists and cronies got to state their platitudes; the audience got to come to their own conclusions without the spoon-feeding.

The effort was – by design and as stated – not political in nature.  Republicans were not the good guys, and Democrats were not the bad guys.  Conclusions that were drawn were evoked from within.  How do YOU feel about disrespectful strangers littering America?

The negative impact of illegals was documented:  Many pack drugs on the way in for cartels.  Most interviewed said they don’t want to be Americans, but want to send money home to their native lands in Central plus South America, and Mexico, primarily.

Evidence for trespass from others not from the regular trade was evident.  Known terrorist nations have been represented at border crossings in Tijuana and other locations, where they just walk in.  Prayer rugs and Korans have been discovered on the trail. 

That they want a better life, care about their own progeny, have human feelings, goals and desires was fully photographed.  But so does the rest of the world; no special exceptions for America, please!

Some illegals on film apologized for knowingly taking the jobs of American citizens, and also for driving down wages.

Three of four filmed said they are sending out their wages and not paying taxes; NO plans to assimilate the “melting pot,” so take your visions of Irish/Italian/German/French-immigration away from me…

The Superintendent of a New York school system was filmed confirming financial costs of $17,000 per pupil for the impact of “chain-migration” ESOL studies and overcrowding without paying into systems HAS bankrupted, and dumbed-down American education.

Some interviewed admitted using EMERGENCY ROOMS for wellness visits and sniffles.  Do they understand that they force your medical costs to double, and keep YOU from fast urgent care?  Yes, they do, but they come to America anyway….because they CAN.

The protesters at the Movie Night were weak, poorly organized, and had no concerted message, other than the liberal-diatribes we know.  That they are good or nice people is not in contention. 

To be American is to care about the future of our great nation, and not let it become diluted by those not inculcated, and without investment. 

Lynch’s film, in the final analysis, was the antithesis of “political-correctness,” it was hard to watch, but cathartic.  The truth hurts.



Postscript:  Announced that night was the next Lynch documentary effort:  Tea Party.

                   With the same methods, it will be another tribute to his genre.

Is "ObamaFair" the answer?



Is “ObamaFair” the answer?
Steven R. Berryman
[From The Tentacle, June 25th 2012]
Finally, at long last, our president of “everyman” in America has introduced legislation to get Americans displaced by the changing economy transitioned back to work. The “Employability Act for the Structurally Unemployed” or “ObamaFair,” if passed, will enable millions of citizens to learn their way back into the workforce.

Responding to complaints that entire industries have been forever disrupted by the permanent changes to “the new normal” of the Great Recession, our president has finally enabled bipartisan legislation designed to attack the root problems suffered by our hardest hit unemployed millions; retraining for transitions into entirely new job sectors will be subsidized by a combination of grants and incentives to colleges and universities.

A living wage will be offered to those qualifying for the new program, advanced from future withholdings of Social Security payments. This will be enabled by simply allowing the U.S. dollar to float in the world market as a “fiat currency.” The White House admits that this may allow for a brief period of hyper-inflation, but sales of bonds to ourselves should offset much of the immediate pain.

Interestingly, self appointed tax guru Grover Norquist and New York Times’ Tom Friedman have agreed to withhold judgment pending evaluation.

The basis of the new program is that some job categories will simply never ever return: construction jobs, automotive assembly line workers, aerospace engineering, newspaper editors, and middle level retail management positions, and architects, just to name a few. The world is taking on permanent structural changes that mean cost-cutting consolidations will rule the Human Resources hiring offices.

“People need jobs, and a job is an American birthright,” said the president in a brief announcement at the East Wing vegetable garden. “We will retrain the displaced into jobs with a future.”

Asked for a list of fields expected to get a boost from the proposed legislation, the president’s press secretary offered that heavy investments will be made in the manufacture of alternative fuel cells, science related to the real impact of global warming, agri-business related to burning corn, and recycling technology. Advance degrees in babysitting and French-fry dipping will also be featured.

At this moment, even the casual reader of TheTentacle.com has figured out that this is a tongue-in-cheek column, intended to highlight what’s actually happening out there. With all of the “liberal” usage of the term fair, it’s ironic that these acts of June 2012 are decidedly not.

In case you have been on vacation or living under a rock, or have been glued to National Public Radio orMSNBC, you need to take note of, and action where appropriate, to the following summary of actual events:

President Barack Obama, without advice from the Congress, has unilaterally dictated as an Executive Decree that he wants undocumented workers (some call illegals) under the age of 30 to be able to take American jobs without fear of deportation. Call or defend this as you will, it amounts to amnesty granted especially to certain groups known to benefit Democrat voter rolls reliably. The timing is notably suspect, and motivations are obvious. This is an obvious move to pander and distract from the real economic issues of the day.

Lost in the collaboration are real solutions for real Americans!

This comes at the absolute worst time for the actual American citizen who has been patiently waiting on the sidelines for things to turn around – as has been repeatedly promised – as thousands of people have now been pumped into the competition for jobs.

Where is the call for an “Americans First” movement?

More “economics of illegal immigration”
Steven R. Berryman
[from The Tentacle May 14th 2012]
A fresh face, Hispanic-featured, appeared in the columnists’ corner of The Frederick News-Post on Saturday; it was a doctor, formerly from my medical group, Parkview Medical. I looked forward to learning his views on illegal-immigration.

The title intrigued me: “Some economics of illegal immigration.” It turned out to be a free commercial, in support of the illegal community, sanctioned by the paper.

Dr. Menocal had removed himself from Parkview to strike out on his own with a new practice. He admitted that one of his specialties was in knowingly serving the children of illegals; his dismay was that he had to serve more of them to make the same money he had been accustomed to, as most were on social (government) assistance.

This was clearly stated in the column.

The editors of The Frederick News-Post forgot to add his link to their Internet edition, so there was much to explore in print only. This also meant that no comments would be forthcoming; convenient! My experience is that the paper never make this mistake unless the content is to be avoided, or is embarrassing.

In the late afternoon Saturday the editors finally posted this link to his column; I searched it out on its archives: http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=135631.

Conflicting thoughts raced through my head; this bright man was providing a needed service and “taking care of his own,” on the one hand, and aiding and abetting illegal activity on the other. Yes, I know that the Hippocratic Oath is blind, deaf, and dumb.

By broadcasting his practice, both he and The Frederick News-Post created a free advertisement attracting illegal Hispanic immigrants – specifically – to come in from the cold and get discount medical treatment. The doctor admittedly profits by his “looking the other way.” Dr. Menocal is making our community even more of a “magnet community” in the face of efforts to the contrary by our proactive Sheriff Chuck Jenkins.

Giving away a free, no-questions-asked, publicly funded education in Frederick County (again, with free medical clinics in some schools) is incentive enough.

Justification of the embracing and support of illegal activity came at the top of his column: “Without a Hispanic presence, the Golden Mile would be in steep economic decline.”

Of course, the West End, or Golden Mile, has been eclipsed for 20 years due to gentrification and revitalizing downtown Frederick, and due to the consequent dipping prices of townhouses and apartments, it has attracted a uniform enclave of Mexican, and South and Central Americans. Part of the impact is to allow for a transplanted Hispanic community, where the natural tendency to assimilate is retarded as everyone speaks Spanish already, anyway. Of course, this is pure human nature, and natural economics as the author points up.

Do ask the Frederick Police about the drug and gang activity in the Golden Mile area as a trend, though. At night, others fear to tread.

Dr. Menocal then praises the illegal’s purchasing power as a justification for allowing community building in a forsaken stretch that nobody else wants. Does that really make a no-go-zone more palatable to our community and state at large?

His closing paragraph sums it all up: “The support from the Latin community, legal and illegal, has allowed the practice to eke out a living while paying for nine full-time employees. All of these employees pay federal, state and local taxes.”

I read that as: Nine full time employees share in the spoils of a medical practice benefiting from – presumably an all cash paying – illegally present, large group of immigrants. How the good doctor knows that they all pay federal taxes is something of a mystery to me, though. Maybe they just get the benefit of the doubt?

IRS take note!

Again, I’m all for helping out the medically distressed, especially those without means; I’m one of them myself. But this facet alone does not allow for the harboring and enabling – knowingly by this account – of illegally present families in Frederick County, Maryland.

Until we sort out the elements that continue to make this open support of border violators so acceptable, we will continue to be “the magnet state of Maryland; all illegals welcome.”

More “economics of illegal immigration” is the original link

Please re-post this as you see fit, as I believe it is a moment of honesty and clarity by a professional that says it's ok to break the law...... and underlines the severity of our problem upholding the rule of law in America.
