Hearing on Monday for Rahm Emanuel's residency eligibility
http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Status-Hearing-for-Rahms-Residency-Battle-111661684.html
If someone figures out where this hearing is and at what time, I will go to it and try to live blog it.
If they won’t allow that, I will transcript it.
Can someone get the time and location?
One of the coolest things that has happened in my life
Tonight I had a meeting with two very politically connected conservatives, a husband and wife team, to talk about some important things breaking here in Chicago.
While we were talking, I mentioned something my boyfriend Justin said yesterday, and the husband, Scott, of the pair asked about Justin so I told them a little about him…and then I remembered I had some pictures of him snapped on my phone. I mentioned that, and Scott and his wife got genuinely excited and wanted to see him.
So, I showed this conservative Republican couple snaps of my gay conservative Republican boyfriend.
They scooted in close to me to see the screen, and this serious, political strategy session became this very personal, warm, special moment.
It is the complete opposite of what the Left says about conservatism.
Instead, if I was at a gay event, and I mentioned my boyfriend or I am consetvative I would have been hit with pronounced and jagged nastiness from “The Tolerant Left”.
It was a quiet, amazing, very special moment I will never forget.
It was real. Unfaked. And the true spirit of who these people are, showing me the same respect and interest they would give me if I was straight and mentioned a girlfriend.
They invited me and Justin to their house for dinner next week to continue planning the smackdown we are engineering for the Cocktail Party here in Chicago.
I have never, in all my life, been treated this well by the Left.
Never.
Can’t wait to introduce them both to Justin.
Obama abdicates: makes Bill Clinton President again for the day
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/At-Obamas-side-Clinton-backs-apf-4065249916.html?x=0&.v=1
Claiming no one listens to him and that he has no idea what he is doing, Obama admitted his complete failure and left a press conference today, in tears, telling Big Dawg Bill Clinton “You fix it!”.
Seriously.
Bill Clinton pulled an unconstitutional Alexander Haig and was president for a while today, while our historic and unprecedented first black president went off and did who knows what who knows where.
Seriously.
This really happened.
It is not a joke.
SERIOUSLY.
BREAKING: New scandal to rock Chicago Young Republicans? Is the Cocktail Party GOP in Chicago using Democrats' Alinsky Methods to take down resistance to Romney 2012?
More on this later, but there’s another major scandal brewing for the Chicago Young Republicans social club here in Chicago.
It seems the group is desperately trying to secure funding sources from Romney 2012 groups, as other revenue streams have dried up for them in the wake of the summer sex scandal involving its former president and the coverup that Lee Roupas (Cook County GOP Chair) and Pat Brady (Illinois GOP Chair) engaged in to shield the CYRs and said president from discipline and scrutiny.
One very wealthy cougar, Beth Christie, used her Elizabeth K. Christie Foundation to fund all sorts of questionable activities for the group (with even more questionable, Stifler’s Mom-esque, motives of her own), but before the November election former Illinois GOP Chair Andy McKenna apparently had a sit-down with Christie and told her to knock it off because she was embarrassing herself and the party on a national scale. So, she’s no longer directly funding the CYRs.
That means they are looking for new sources of revenue…and since they are mainly Romney 2012 Guys anyway, they are turning to Mittens.
More on this later, but last night the CYRs took a cheap and dirty Alinsky-grade swipe at a prominent Republican voice of criticism against the Cocktail Party status quo here in Chicago.
There’s a civil war waging in Chicago GOP circles…between the “It’s His Turn” Cocktail Party Romney Guys and conservatives who want to take back their party and clean house, removing people like Roupas, Brady, and the Beth Christie-funded CYR operatives who are employing Democrats’ Alinsky Methods on Mitt Romney’s behalf.
What they did last night was bad — beyond the pale bad — and it certainly won’t be ignored by us, that’s for damn sure.
BREAKING: You too can be a farmer — and if you are black get $50,000 — with the new PIGFORD PET!
You too can be a farmer -- and if you are black get $50,000 -- by growing a Pigford Pet!
H/t Dave and Linda for the idea of using Chia Pets to ridicule the Pigford Black Reparations payout…since many of the black people who were given $50,000 in reparations under Pigford and the Obama-led Pigford II reparations settlements used their house plants as proof that they were “farmers” or “farmers in waiting”.
So, why not just issue these Chia Pet kits to Obama voters, have them grow them, and then bring them down to the USDA as proof of their “farming” abilities to collect their $50,000 in Obama Money?
This Chia Pet lampoon of Pigford has real teeth.
It is exactly what is needed to get the public riled up about this.
Can you improve upon this meme in any way?
Thoughts needed below.
Governor Palin within margin of error of Mittens Romney in new Michigan primary poll
As things stand right now, Mittens Romney and his supporters control the Cocktail Party GOP establishment in places like Chicago.
All of the 20-30 something young Republicans are “Romney Guys”, and they have positioned themselves to land high paying jobs on a Romney 2012 campaign.
I know these people, here in Chicago at least. Some of them are just scraping by doing odd consulting jobs so that they are available the second Romney starts writing checks for expanded staff. They have bet everything on Romney…and in this economy they have no other prospects, honestly, besides a Romney 2012 campaign gig.
THAT is why these Cocktail Party establishment Republicans are pushing Romney so hard for 2012. NOT because they think hey will beat Obama, because they don’t think that and don’t even pretend to believe that when asked about it.
These people just want CAMPAIGN JOBS, and they know enough people in Romney circles to be guaranteed cushy, paid, resume-padding positions if Romney is the 2012 nominee.
All of these “Romney Guys” detest Governor Palin and by all accounts the people surrounding the Governor feel mutual about the “Romney Guys” and Cocktail Party establishment of all types…so everyone involved knows that if Governor Palin is the 2012 nominee that everyone expecting a job from Romney will be out of luck and unemployed in 2012, because the Governor is not going to select Romney as her running mate either.
Mittens Romney would be another Bob Dole and John McCain…a Cocktail Party establishment “It’s His Turn!” candidate whose sole reason for nomination is that he has a network of supporters who are counting on getting jobs with his presidential campaign, and have positioned themselves at the city, county, and state levels across the country so that they can attempt to steer the nomination to him…and thus win themselves easy, high-paying jobs.
A recent poll of Michigan for the GOP primary now shows Governor Palin within the margin of error in what is one of Mittens Romney’s many, myriad “home states”(like Utah, Massachusetts, and perhaps even those seven mystery states Obama talks about every now and then).
Shouldn’t Romney be clobbering other contenders for the 2012 nomination in one of his “home states”…especially the one his father was Governor of and that he, mostly, grew up in?
This is similar to what I talked about a while ago, when Mittens Romney’s childhood home was torn down in Michigan. There was no effort whatsoever to preserve it. None. Absolutely no Romney supporters organized so much as a lemonade stand to preserve the childhood home of Mittens Romney.
Can you imagine if Governor Palin’s childhood home was about to be torn down? Palin supporters would pool together, buy the place, and turn it into a historic site. I sure as heck would be on that in a Wasilla minute.
I’d do the same if Hillary Clinton’s childhood home was set for demolition here in Park Ridge, and I know many Hillary supporters who would join in to make sure nothing happened to that house.
There is just no passion for Mittens Romney.
The only people who want him to be the nominee are the people who will stand to get something financial from Romney if he is the nominee. People don’t stand in front of wrecking balls for Mittens Romney. People don’t drop whatever they are doing and come running if Mittens Romney — or his childhood home — are in trouble. People do not love Mittens Romney.
And they never, ever will.
He seems like a nice enough man. I think he will make an excellent Treasury Secretary. His face will never be on US currency but if he plays his cards right and stands behind Governor Palin, maybe his signature will be on our money once he’s installed in his Cabinet position and takes over for Tim Geithner to clean up the mess the Obama Administration has left us in.
Mittens Romney is, I believe, destined to be Treasury Secretary. That’s where his focus should be.
Not on getting jobs for his supporters as the new “It’s His Turn!” losing candidate.
QUESTION: What are areas we all need to become expert in before 2012?
Please chime in on this thread by scrying into the future to look at what areas we should all become expert in before 2012 hits.
Remember: we will never have 2011 back again, so we need to make the most of it. When January hits, we need to hit the ground running and train hard for the 2012 election…which will be the most important one of our lifetimes.
2012 will be a crossroads race: either Obama is defeated and America is saved, or Obama squeaks out a second term and commits America to the failed socialism of Europe…or worse.
We can all count on the state media ginning up as much propaganda and feel-good hooha for Obama as it did in 2008. Though “Hope!” and “Change!” won’t work a second time, David Axelrod does nothing better than branding and marketing and I know he will come up with some razzle dazzle to repackage Obama to the American public. Just like in 2008, the media will have zero interest in telling the truth about the “historic and unprecedented first black president”. Because the media will not allow this particular black man to fail — and being a one-term president is a major failure — I believe the media will commit themselves 100% to Obama’s re-election, making their efforts in 2008 pale in comparison to the depths they will sink in 2012.
So, knowing all of this, we need to set our course for 2011 and approach the 2012 race the way a bodybuilder approaches a competition. Here in Boystown, I have several friends who are heavy into lifting and competing, and they work backwards from their contest date to plan out what they need to do and when. About a year from the big day, they sit down and think about the areas they need to strengthen and work on the most. To condition their bodies to the height they need to win their contests, they know they have to use their brains to strategically build their lives around bodybuilding and workouts.
I am fully committed to doing everything I can to defeat Obama and the Left in 2012. I think America is in grave danger and see this as my watch, the time I need to stand up and do something for my country. That something involves writing this site and giving it a purpose in 2011 that can make a difference in 2012.
I believe that purpose involves figuring out what areas of argument will be most persuasive with the voting public in defeating Obama at the ballot box, no matter what the media does in its attempt to drive Obama towards a win.
So far, these are some of the areas I personally plan on becoming expert in by 2012 so that I can be an effective surrogate speaker in the next presidential race…shouting on top a soapbox on street corners if I have to:
(1) Voter Fraud Democrats commit in every election
(2) The Pigford Black Reparations Scam and Obama’s involvement in it
(3) The Ethanol Scam and the Cult of Green wealth distribution scheme
(4) George Soros’ super villain role in US politics
(5) Obamacare’s ruinous impact on the American economy
Becoming an expert on any one of these things is like working on a graduate professional degree…let alone mastering arguments in all of them. And these five are just the tip of the iceberg.
But, I figure if I push this, and keep poking at these issues, and get people talking and thinking about them…that maybe together all of us out there in the American Resistance can turn the tables on the media and get the public talking about the Obama — the real Obama — that the state media refuses to show…by exposing his policies and agenda for what they truly are.
2012 will be won or lost by people like you…not the Titans of politics or the grand PooBahs of the parties. Just average, normal, regular people who use 2011 wisely and train themselves for the fight of their lives in 2012.
Please make this your 2011 New Year’s Resolution: to not waste a single day in 2011 because I guarantee you will wish you had every single day back once 2012 heats up.
I just can’t live with myself if I don’t do all I can with the time we’re afforded to prep as well as I can to go head to head with the Left in November 2012.
So, in that spirit, chime in below and give me your input on the five areas I have highlighted…and tell me about the ones I’ve missed that you are planning on becoming expert in yourselves.
