Burj-Dubai...The UAE Paradise

Visit the official web site of the Burj Dubai

During my travels to Afghanistan working with and supporting the troops on the War on Terror, I had the unique opportunity to stop in Dubai. Forty years ago this was an area with a few mud huts sitting next to some of the most pristine beach shores in all of the Persian Gulf. Over time that started to change, and in the early 1990's the ruling family of the United Arab Emirates received news that no Middle Eastern Country wants to hear. That news: By 2017 your oil wells will be dry. No oil, no money. The Royal family took a radical step that made their fellow neighbors in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, and others very pissed off. The family opened their doors to the west and using talent from their culture, they built a city that would become a mecca of business and industry. They became Capitalists. After the business came the tourism. They designed the city to cater to the rich of the world and built extravagant hotels, houses, office buildings, and Islands shaped like palm tree's, and countries of the world. Though thanks to the recession they have started to slow down, yet still the things they have to offer may want any person to change their European vacation plans to this dessert local. They have the largest indoor mall in the world, (pictures below), the largest inland lagoon, connected to a theme park that has its own space camp. A 7 Diamond Hotel, the Burj Al Arab, that sits on the Persian Gulf and looks like a sail boat. The cheapest room is 1600.00 Euros per night.

As of December 2009, their are currently 11,850 buildings in Dubai under construction. Dubai is known as Crane City, since it has more cranes per capita than any other place in the world. The Burj itself is a masterpiece. Here are some facts:

Burj Dubai:

Over 2,684 Feet Tall

800 Metres

160 Floors

57 Elevators

The high point is the view from the Burj Dubai's observation deck located on level 124 of the tower, slated to open on the fourth Anniversary of the ascension of Sheikh Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, on January 4, 2010.

The 'Obama Criticism Flow Chart'

Hello everyone. Long time no hear. I'm back on a two week R&R from Afghanistan. It is a little rough over there, but the troops are in good spirits. Below the chart I have a great story to share with you.

This was sent to me from a friend while I was over in Afghanistan. I got such a good laugh at it that I had to save it, and post it here for everyone else to see. Who knows, you might have seen it already. Its called the 'Obama Criticism Flow Chart':

While I was over in Afghanistan at Bagram Air Base, I got a chance to talk to the troops alot since I was working with them every day. It begins to make me wonder how Obama won by such a large amount, because the troops over there do not support him. Though they can't say that openly because they are in uniform. Several however have said to me and I quote: "Get me out of this uniform and sit me down for a beer, and I'll tell you what I really think of this President."
They are also pissed that it took him over 4 months to decide to send more troops while their buddies were dying.

I attended a Halloween party where they had a band from the 82nd Airborne, and a bunch of soldiers and civilians dressed up in things from Harry Potter to Snow White. Suddenly a man dressed as a villain from the Matrix Movies (MR. Smith), walked onto the stage and grabbed the microphone. He announced: "Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States."
A soldier walked onto the stage wearing an Obama mask and started to wave. There must have been about four or five hundred people below the stage and I kid you not...95% of the soldiers and civilians started to BOO. As a pryor soldier, I have never in my life seen soldiers openly denounce their Commander and Chief in a war zone. I loved it, and joined in the booing. Then a second soldier walked out, pushing the Obama mask soldier out of the way. I thought he was going to get in trouble. The second soldier was wearing a mask of President George W. Bush, and the crowd erupted in applause and cheers. They chanted USA and "ALL THE WAY." All the way is the motto of the 82nd Airborne Division. After that ended, a high ranking officer and NCO came on the stage and did a reenlistment ceremony for the drummer of the band who was dressed as Conan the Barbarian. Those two high ranking soldiers were part of the same crowd that booed, and applauded. This was not a group of 500 low ranking soldiers, but it was a group of all ranks mixed together, from all parts of the country, serving in a cause they all believe to be just. Meanwhile back home Democrats are calling them killers, and profiling them as Conservatives and home-grown terrorists. Needless to say, they don't like Janet Napolitano too much either.

Well, this will be my last post for a few more months as I return to Afghanistan. I hope and wish everyone well, and I look forward to November 2010. TTFN

Topography

The Hindu Kush Mountain Range (Pictured Below) is the Western most sub-range of the Himalayain Mountains. The highest point in Hindukush mountain region is the Tirich Mir (25,289 ft).


Afghanistan has a harsh climate of the continental type and the severity of winter is accentuated by the altitude of much of the country. Summers everywhere are warm, except in the highest areas. The high mountains to the south shield Afghanistan from the summer rains brought to India and parts of Pakistan by the southwest monsoon. The lower parts of the country have a semi-arid or desert climate. In Sestina along the Iranian border hot, dry, dusty winds are among the most unpleasant features of the summer weather. Summers are sunny and generally hot, except in the higher mountains. Sunshine amounts range from six to seven hours a day in winter to as much as twelve to thirteen in summer.
Because of the large range of temperature conditions found in Afghanistan, there is both a danger of heat exhaustion or even heatstroke in the lower regions in summer and of exposure, wind chill, and frostbite in the mountains in winter.

As far as the War in Afghanistan which started on October 7, 2001 in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center, the United States and its allies have a strong presence in the Country, and are recieving reenforcements from Iraq, now that the surge which was launched in 2007 has led to a stable success.

Happy Fourth Of July

233 years and counting...

*****

I watched the flag

Pass by one day,

It fluttered in the breeze.

*****

A young Marine Saluted it,

And then he stood at ease..

I looked at Him in uniform

So young, so tall, so proud,

With hair cut square

And eyes alert

He'd stand out in any crowd.

*****

*****

I thought how many men

Like him

Had fallen through the years.

How many died on foreign

Soil

How many mothers' tears?

How many pilots' planes

Shot down?

How many died at sea

How many foxholes were soldiers'

Graves?

No, freedom isn't free

*****

I heard the sound of

Taps One night,

When everything was still,

I listened to the bugler

Play

And felt a sudden chill.

*****

I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant

'Amen,'

When a flag had draped a

Coffin.

Of a brother or a friend.

I thought of all the

Children,

Of the mothers and the wives,

Of fathers, sons and

Husbands

With interrupted lives.

*****

I

Thought about a graveyard

At the bottom of the sea

*****

Of unmarked graves in

Arlington.

No, freedom isn't free.

Royal Coldstream Guards Play "Thriller"

from

Michael Jackson's mega hit Thriller has been given this hilarious revamp by the army's world-famous Band of the Coldstream Guards - just a stones throw from Buckingham Palace.

The band marched in formations almost mimicking the famous choreographed zombie routine from the music video.

158 YEARS AGO

Do you know what happened back on September 9, 1850, 158 years ago?

California became a state.

The State had no electricity.

The State had no money.

Almost everyone spoke Spanish.

There were gunfights in the streets.

So basically, it was just like it is today,

except the women had real breasts,

and the men didn't hold hands.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger tries to approve a budget

that solves the state's $24.3 billion shortfall by Tuesday.

"It's clear that if the Legislature does not send a full budget solution to my desk by June 30, California will face an extreme cash-flow problem that will threaten our ability to pay for vital services," the governor said.

Is California going to go bankrupt? The State has a projected $24.3 billion budget deficit for the coming year. Is it like GM "Too Big To Fail" as Democrats like to say. California’s fiscal controller, John Chiang, has called the state’s spending plan “massively unbalanced,” adding that the Golden State is suffering from a cash shortfall not seen since the Great Depression.
Despite the deepening budget crisis, the California Legislature failed to pass a proposed $11 billion in cuts. Maybe they want the American Tax Payer to bail them out also.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would cost the average household in America around $175 a year, the EPA $80 to $110 a year. Well, we know how Government estimations equal out to how things actually become. Republicans on the other hand questioned the validity of the CBO study and noted that analysis showed actual energy production costs increasing by $770 per household. Industry groups outside the Government sphere of influence have cited other studies showing much higher costs to the economy and to individuals.

Consider it done...

Newt Gingrich urges everyone to go sign the petition to stop the energy tax. It might help the cause if we gave you a link to that. Consider it done.

Today the House is going to vote on this Cap and Trade - more accurately called "Cap and Tax" climate change scam. Any idea as to how big this bill is? Try 1,201 pages.

Yeah, we are talking about a bill that is going to cost us $845 billion over the next 10 years ... and not one House member has read the entire thing.

Michael Jackson: secret library of 100 songs could be released

My Favorite Michael Jackson video's, and small tribute

-- The Second King is Dead

From The:

A secret library of over a hundred songs recorded by Michael Jackson could now be released following his death.
One of the singer's biographers, Ian Halperin, claimed that the unheard songs had been made for his children.
Mr Halperin, author of Unmasked, The Michael Jackson Story said before his death: “He wants to leave them for his kids, a very personal legacy to them. I was told he will not let them come out now.”
Jackson leaves three children Prince, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and Prince Michael II aged seven.

It is rumoured, given the parlous financial situation of his estate, that any such recordings will not be kept private for long. It is understood Jackson may have gone to the grave under debts of about $400 million – though some believe the true figure may be much higher.
Sales of Michael Jackson’s music and memorabilia have already begun to soar. In America, the Thriller album is number one on iTunes, while his Number Ones album has now reached the top spot on the UK iTunes chart.
Online retailers Amazon say that Jackson’s albums had taken 14 of the top 20 places on the Amazon.co.uk sales chart. The Amazon chart was topped by his first solo album, Off The Wall, which features tracks such as Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough and She’s Out Of My Life.
Already, Jackson’s death is beginning to producing a new industry around the star. Outside the Los Angeles hospital where he was pronounced dead, a group of men appeared selling $10 T-shirts with a silhouette of Jackson and reading: “In loving memory of Michael Jackson.” Memorial T-shirts were also being sold at the Glastonbury music festival.
On eBay, bidding grew on a number of Jackson memorabilia items. Limited edition records, musical instruments used by the star and even a movie contract with his signature were being sold for thousands of pounds.
The Neverland ranch and Jackson’s final resting place, if made accessible to the public, could also become lucrative tourist attractions.
Graceland, the mansion owned by Elvis Presley and where he was buried, has become a much-visited landmark. Opening its doors to the paying members of the public is thought to have made the trust that operates Graceland in the region of $100 million.

The Second is King is Dead

(LAST PHOTO)

The Second King of Rock and Pop is Dead at fifty of a heart attack, just weeks before he was going to begin his comeback tour in London. Their were fifty concerts scheduled for London which had sold out in less than ten minutes. As a person in my mid thirties, I grew up in the eighties with Michael's albums, "Thriller" being the most popular. I was not a humongous fan, but enjoyed some of his music. Dirty Diana, Thriller, and Smooth Criminal amongst my favorite. There will be mixed reviews of his legacy seen by different people. He will be remembered by some as the music legend of the past generation to succeed Elvis Presley. Others will say he was a Pop Star who later became a child rapist. I personally believe that the child rape charge was false. For the younger generation who have so many different musical inspirations, they will not know how our generation enjoyed Michael Jackson, because they don't have an icon today like him, or Elvis like my parents.

The Sanford Affair

Coming from a man it is simple. Men are pigs, all men, no exceptions. Especially the Politicians. We can't keep our Dic!!!! in our pants. Not that that is an excuse, but this guy isn't doing anything to his girlfriend that the average politician hasn't done to the average taxpayer. It is however an interesting story. First the Governor of South Carolina goes "missing." Then there is a period of days where he is staff "thinks" he is hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. Then he shows up yesterday and admits that he has been "clearing his head" in Argentina ...... with his Argentinean lover. Then we here that his wife had kicked him out of the Governors mansion weeks ago.


So much for the man that stood a chance to defeat Obama in 2012. This pretty much ends his chances for a run to the White House. Besides ... don't we have a wonderful history of this sort of stuff? John F. Kennedy comes to mind. Then there's Bill Clinton. The Democrats, you will remember, were telling us that this Clinton thing didn't matter ... it was his private life after all.

Then we had John Edwards who's wife was dying of Cancer go off and screw around. Yet because Sanford is a Republican, the media have decided to take off on this story and make it part of the top items to cover in their news cycles. Why didn't they do that with Clinton, Edwards, Kennedy, or others...Because they were Democrats.



The one thing that bothers me the most about this whole ordeal is not the fact that he cheated on his wife, because that happens all to often unfortunately. It is the fact that he disappeared "Hiking in the Appalachians" on Fathers Day. (Hence the picture up top). He has four kids, and I'm sure they would have loved to have been with Daddy on Fathers Day. That to me makes hm a Scumbag. Have trouble with your spouse, okay. But don't let it get in the way of your kids.



All in all this is just another step backward for the Republicans. How the hell are going to face down the Democrats in 2010-2012 with this kind of crap going on. Republican claim to be high on morals, yet this happens when they are at their low points. Do want to use your Second Amendment rights to shoot yourself in the head to get it over with, because hell, you've shot your feet enough times. Times like this I'm glad that I'm a Conservative Independent. Both parties are crap.

(H.R. 2454) “cap and trade” National Energy Tax

Contact Your Representative

H.R. 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.

This national energy tax would possibly be the largest tax increase in American history, it would cause gas and electricity prices to skyrocket, and add to our already spiraling federal deficit. We simply cannot afford this. A vote may happen by Friday, June 26th.

These are some of the things that it will end up doing if passed:

1). Reduce aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) by $9.6 trillion
2). Destroy an average of 1-3 million jobs, every year
3). Raise electricity rates 90 percent after adjusting for inflation
4). Raise inflation-adjusted gasoline prices by 74 percent
5). Raise residential natural gas prices by 55 percent
6). Raise an average family's annual energy bill by $1,500 annually
7). Increase the federal debt by 26 percent, which is $29,150 per person

Remember, we only have until tomorrow. Call your member of Congress now, and urge a vote against the national energy tax, H.R. 2454.

3 Presidents, 2 Parties, And 1 Action In Common

What do Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower all have in common when it came to Presidential policies during times of economic crises and job creation?

President Hoover had The Great Depression to deal with. Truman had Veterans returning from World War Two that needed employment, and President Eisenhower faced both Korean Veterans needing employment, and an economic downturn.

Here was there answer to solve these great burdens to the American Economy.

Back during the beginning of The Great Depression 1929-1940, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of all illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work. This led to what is known today as the Mexican Repatriation. Of course as soon as FDR came into office, he reversed this legislation, but local communities continued to follow The Hoover Plan.

In 1951 President Harry Truman deported over two million Illegals in order to create open jobs for Veterans returning from World War Two. Though the war ended in 1945, and their was a major economic boom, Truman made it a priority to make sure that the Veterans had jobs first. Truman served as a soldier in World War One. It seems funny how Presidents that served their country, care more about Veterans than those who do not serve. (Clinton, Obama). It makes you wonder that if you are going to be the Commander and Chief of the United States Armed Forces, than you should serve in one of the branches, so you know what they are going through, before you make the decision to send them off in harms way. Now of course anti-W folks will say he did not see combat, and they are right, but he did go through basic training, and he did serve, even though it was a short period of time. He put in a greater effort than Draft-Dodging Clinton, or Obama ever did. (To give the eligibility people a laugh: You can't serve unless your a citizen!!!)

Finally in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican Nationals! This program took almost two years to complete. America was going through a small economic crises, and jobs were slim. President Eisenhower did this so Korean Veterans would have a better chance at finding jobs. The program and I kid you not was called "Operation Wetback."

President Eisenhower was the last such President in American History to control Illegal Immigration until President Ronald Reagan, who did not actually do any massive deportations, but he put stronger restrictions in place for border crossings. From 1978-1983, The United States entered the deepest recession ever since the Great Depression. This recession was worse than our current 2007-2010 Recession, though we are coming close. President Jimmy Carter did not deport any Illegals weather they be Mexican or any other nationality. Unemployment rose to the double digits, and jobs were impossible to find. Mexicans like in today's Recession went back on their own accord, because they new that jobs were hard to find.

The main question for today is, why doesn't Obama do the same thing that Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower did? Unemployment is 9.4% and rising. His Stimulus is making things worse. There are now an estimated 20 million Illegal Aliens in this country. Most, if not all are working. Those that are not, are going back to Mexico on their own. How many of those 2o million pay Income Taxes? How many have kids that go to our schools that we tax payers pay for? How many go to the Emergency Room and do not pay, which raises the overall cost of our doctor visits? How much money do we spend on the Immigration issue? Enough is enough. I strongly support the American Dream of coming here, and building a life for anyone and their families. But at the same time, their are laws in place, and those laws must be followed. We are a country that has a "Rule of Law" for a reason. If you want to come here and work and live, great. But do it legally.

News Events: June 24, 2009

Here are some stories that have peaked the interest of the Fourth Republic today:

Barney (FFLANK...Gey his name is hard to say) Frank asks Fannie and Freddie to relax the restrictions on Condo loans. Isn't that one of the major things that started this recession?

Obama will put the U.S. Ambassadors of Syria and Venezuela back in place. Why not just raise the white flag now, and get it over with.

California school district makes K-5 Government Schools have Mandatory 'gay' day studies for all children.

OBAMA'S PRESS CONFERENCE: 55 minutes long, and failed to include the words "Iraq" or "Afghanistan," "Korea," "Pakistan," "soldiers," "surge" and "war." He did not even mention the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines. but I guess this is what Obama meant by "change you can believe in."

I just love Unions and their idea of common sense. 700 NYC teachers are paid to do nothing.

Speaking of Unions, a recent study by the Heritage Foundation came up with some interesting facts about companies and Unions.

The American Medical Association has weighed in on the new economic stimulus package.

The Allergists voted to scratch it.

But the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it.

But the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

And the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!"

While the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!'

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness.

While the Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow.

And the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter.."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward.

But the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas.

And the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington .

What Goes Around, comes around

"The Bitch gets Slapped"

Perez Hilton says he was punched by Peas' manager...

Mr. Judge, jury, and executioner who got on the radar of people (who do not slobber over the entertainment world) two months ago with his hatred towards a person who did not express the same views that he had. Mario Lavandeira a.k.a. Perez got into an argument with band members of the Black Eyed Peas, Fergie and "will.i.am" at the Cobra nightclub in Toronto early Monday morning. He called will.i.am a "faggot," inside the club after the musician told the blogger not to write about his band on his Web site, and was punched by Polo Molina, the band's tour manager.

Well, all I have to say about that is, what goes around, comes around. During the Miss
America Pageant he talked about slapping Miss California because she did not support Gay Marriage. Well, is that not an opinion that she is entitled too? Perez went off on her, which got peoples attention outside of the entertainment spectrum. Well, in all honesty, I don't give a damn about this guy Lavandeira/Perez, whatever he wants to call himself. Normally I don't cover stupid stories like this, but like anyone, when I see Irony, I laugh.

Maybe now, he will watch his mouth, considering he has a big bump on it. I'm not going to get into the morals of the Marriage issue, or even if Miss California deserves to be Miss America because of some naked pictures, because I don't care. The only thing that bothers me is that a large majority of the people that follow everything about Perez and other Hollywood types, is that they vote. (0% of them have no clue when it comes to politics.

So, hopefully this closes the issue. Payback is a "Bitch".

Keep an eye on H.R. 2847

On Monday, Rep. Steve King (R), from Iowa's 5th District, introduced two amendments to H.R. 2847, the Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations Bill. He talks about it in his article on the Human Events Blog. (To read all of the information about H.R. 2847, click here.)

One amendment would have kept the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) out of the 2010 Census, effectively barring taxpayer dollars in the bill provided to the Census Bureau from being disbursed to ACORN. The other amendment would have barred any taxpayer dollars in the bill from being provided to ACORN.

Just encase you have been hiding under a rock the past year, ACORN is responsible for over 400,000 fraudulent voter registration forms nationwide, and their main goal as set forth by their founder is to put as many people in the United States (both citizen and non-citizen) on welfare and other Government programs, thus in order to bring about the economic collapse of Capitalism and bring about a Socialist or Communist form of Government.

ACORN is currently under investigation in 14 states for voter fraud and has frequently paid employees on a commission basis to register voters, a practice illegal in many states. According to an October 2008 article in The Economist, during the last election cycle, “in Orlando, home to the Magic Kingdom of Disney, Mickey Mouse tried to register. In Indiana there was an application from a sandwich shop called Jimmy Johns. Authorities in Nevada were surprised to receive voter registration forms from the starting line-up of the Dallas Cowboys.”

Yet through all of this controversy, it has received over $53 million in taxpayer funds. And thanks to Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank and his liberal friends s an additional $8.5 billion that could be accessed by ACORN. President Obama, a former ACORN employee, has hired ACORN to “partner” with the Census Bureau to complete the 2010 census.

(AND LIBERALS SCREAMED BLUE BLOODY MURDER WHEN HALIBURTON WAS GIVEN FIRST BIDS DURING THE BUSH/CHENEY YEARS) ---Will Liberal bitch as much as they did back then. No, don't think so.

This bill is now in Senate hands, and it is important that we as Americans do everything possible to keep ACORN away from the Census. Its already bad enough that the census was moved from the Commerce Department to Raum Emanuel's office.

H.R. 2847:
111th Congress
Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010

Contact your Senators and tell them to keep ACORN out.
