Could she be lining herself to run for President or maybe on a ticket as Vice-President? I don't know, but I like how she is taking a stand for her State and America on illegal immigrants. Keep it up Gov. Brewer!

No Congressional Budget This Year
Cancelled: There Will Be No Congressional Budget This Year
***The Following Is An Important Fiscal Health Announcement***
Washington (Jun 22)
In light of House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s (D-MD) announcement this morning that House Democrats will not pass a budget this year – failing to fulfill what he has called “the most basic responsibility” of governing – the following important fiscal health warning has been issued:
THE BUDGET HAS BEEN
CANCELLED
WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT
THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET
PLANNED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011 HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS’ OUT-OF-CONTROL SPENDING SPREE.
AN APOLOGY FOR THIS BETRAYAL OF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE FORTHCOMING AT THIS TIME.
BE ADVISED THAT THE FOLLOWING SERVICES WILL BE INTERRUPTED:
Imposing the fiscal discipline economists say is needed to create jobs and boost our economy
Reining in the out-of-control spending spree that is killing American jobs
Carrying out the “most basic responsibility of governing”
Stopping middle-class tax hikes that will sock family budgets at the worst possible time
Providing the leadership on jobs and the economy that Americans say is sorely lacking
Protecting our kids and grandkids from the enormous debt burden Washington has placed on them
We reserve the right to notify you of additional consequences that may arise in light of this budget failure, which is unprecedented in the modern era. In the interim, please brace for more spending, more debt, more tax hikes, more broken promises.
For families and small businesses looking for a government that listens to the people it serves and respects their hard-earned money, House Republicans are offering better solutions to cut spending now and help small businesses put people back to work.

Laws Don't Mean Anything, Anymore
The Sec. of Labor doesn't care if you are documented or not, you have the right to the same wages as those that are here legally. I'm sorry, but the illegal immigrant should not be getting a job here, and if they happen to find someone that will hire them illegally then they get the wages they agree upon.

This Is A Little Fishy
Ryan Danoff and two friends found themselves eye to eye with a periscope off the Florida coast. The periscope sank beneath the waves, and whatever was below the surface blew its ballast, sending aloft a mighty hiccup of bubbles. Coast Guard Petty Officer Barry Bena said Danoff's information went to the proper authorities. "As of right now, they're still looking into it," he said.
So could it have been a Navy sub taking a peek at the beach? "It's kind of uncommon," Bena said.
Okay, it could have been a Navy sub looking at the girls on the beach...but whose Navy sub?

Are People Waking Up?
I don't know if people are waking up, but I think it will be an interesting next few months leading up to the November elections.

Bank Closings-June 11, 2010
A little late as I tried to get on the FDIC website over the weekend and their site must have been down.
A little bit of unusual activity this week was that the press release was translated in Chinese...yep, Chinese! I don't know why, but will see it it continues to happen.
1. Washington First International Bank, Seattle, Washington, was closed today by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. The four branches of Washington First International Bank will reopen during normal business hours beginning Saturday as branches of East West Bank. The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $158.4 million.
Total Bank Closings = 82
Cost to the FDIC (We The People) this week... $158.4 million
Cost to the FDIC (We The People) for 2010 thus far ... approx. $17.7 BILLION
Addendum: I found out that East West Bank is a Chinese American Bank with branches in America and China. That is why there is a translation of the press release in Chinese. See Wikipedia link here.

The Greatest Generation
Not many of this era are left. We need to thank them for all they did for this nation and the world. Many would be rolling over in their graves if they knew what was happening to the nation they proudly served. This is a tribute to not only the men, but the B-25

The Sun Is Awakening
"The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms. " "." It noted how people of the 21st-century rely on high-tech systems for the basics of daily life. Smart power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications can all be knocked out by intense solar activity. A century-class solar storm, the Academy warned, could cause twenty times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina."
And...
The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5026, the Grid Reliability and Infrastructure Defense (GRID) Act. "Under the bill, the President could declare a threat if there is a substantial likelihood of a cyber attack, electromagnetic weapon attack, geomagnetic storm, or direct physical attack on the bulk power infrastructure."
And...
And:
I don't know if it a coincidence or not, but why did congress pass a bill now?
