Now Meet The New Boos, Same As The Old Boss
At this morning’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Beloved Whistleblower Charles Foster Kane was telling Political Insiders it’s almost Halloween, and it’s government shutdown time again. The media, Obama and most members of Congress are trying to scare us all again with the threat of closing down the federal government unless the national debt limit is raised.
The president and our so-called congressional leaders are proposing a budget deal that would increase federal spending $80 billion over the next two years and raise the federal borrowing limit above the current level of $18.1 trillion. The debt ceiling which has been raised 78 times since it was set in 1960 has to be lifted again because the feds don’t have enough cash on hand to pay their bills after November 3.
In exchange, Conservative congressional Republicans hope to get some modest budget reforms but none, of course, that will matter much to over-taxed payers like you and me. If these budget conservatives push too hard, after all, the other side will weigh in with the threat of – government shutdown.
Republican congressional leaders John Boehner and Bitch McConnell were quick to say from the start of the budget talks that there is no chance of a government shutdown this time around, but this didn’t endear them to some of their more confrontation-minded GOP colleagues.
This unwillingness to challenge the president and Disingenuous DemocRATS in Congress is one of the reasons Republicans aren’t upset with Boehner’s decision to step down as House speaker. They wouldn’t mind it if McConnell went with him.
Whistleblower Senior National Political Affairs Analyst Britt Humus says speaking of that Budget Republicans just surrendered on, the REPUBLICAN members of Congress are the only ones who were not consulted by Boehner/Obama/McConnell.
Does this bill written by these three include a bridge for Cincinnati? We will see if after a quarter century in Washington Portman can even get one bridge. The President said he would support it. His buddies run both sides of the river. Will he finally get his hometown a simple bridge or can he only secure some pocket change to allow The Gay Pride Fishwrap to say at least he is not completely useless. Hell, McEwen built four bridges across the Ohio River from his Congressional district. Portman can’t even build ONE!
Every time an Ohioan pumps a gallon of gas, Ohio over-taxed payers pay 19 cents into the Highway Trust Fund for building bridges and highways. How lazy/incompetent can one be to not get even one “replacement” bridge (much easier than a new one) in 25 years!!!
Sure other Congressmen might be smarter and better than Portman……but eventually he ought to be able to get one lousy bridge. Now we have Congressmen, who were in high school when Portman went to Washington promising to term-limit himself and never serve more than 10 years, outmaneuvering him for highway funds for their over-taxed payers. Perhaps Portman/Boehner should ask some younger members how it is done. Maybe Ohio should promise to paint it Gay Pride colors in order to arouse his interest. After all as Portman runs again for re-election it would be nice if there could be one thing he could point to as an accomplishment.
Speaking of our Revered Former Congressman, Bob McEwen will be taping with Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz Thursday and Friday in Dallas, and speaking in Fort Worth with Mike Huckabee. Word is Mrs. McEwen was with Carson and Trump last week.
Parks, Schmarks! Our Compassionate Conservative says Issue 22 (The Parks Levy) is a travesty. It for the first time puts in the Charter a tax levy, so it can’t be changed /ended short of amending the Charter. Levies for schools and before this parks, were generally not permanent, but lasted for say five years and if things were going smoothly the voters would be asked to renew it. Not here—it’s permanent. Next everybody likes the parks, this is an off-year election so turnout will be miniscule and most people will not be paying attention. Therefore it takes fewer dedicated voters to over-tax everyone. The “responsible” elected officials know that prior profligate spending will continue to overhang the city and be hard to fix, so the more money that can be snuck out of the over-taxed payers, the better to handle other problems, like extravagant public employee pensions, wasteful streetcar boondoggle which will never pay for itself and the city will have to subsidize the operations or face paying back the federal government, etc. So just say “No” now and don’t be fooled. The Parks already got caught taking gifts from foundations and private donors to pay a grand a month for Willie Cardin’s car and more than that for his meals and hundreds of thousands for bonuses on top of his $170,000 salary. Guess it’s tougher being a public servant than the rest of us realized.
Trial-watching Trouble Maker Tino DelGato says Sam DuBose’s “estranged parents” are arguing over who should administer his estate. I suspect if there were not some possible UC wrongful death payday out there, neither one of them would be making this move; ditto their ambulance chasing lawyers. First, his 11 kids should be the recipients, no one else. Secondly, an impartial Third Party should administer this estate. Here is a simple formula for that Third party adjudicator. Take the Estate and divide by 11. Keep in mind if DuBose had not tried to flee, none of this would be necessary. Also a DuBose vasectomy many years ago would have been a good idea to save the State on 11 entitlement kids. Go Figure!!!
Was WLWT’s Sheree Paolello really on Cunningham’s noon show noon today talking about Ohio Issues, when she said, “These issues are confusing to me and I can imagine they are confusing to others. I don’t want to use a substance that will make me hungry!” Is Sheree the Dumbest Blonde Ever? Not anything Channel 19’s “Trish The Dish” would say anything quite that stupid.
Speaking of Stupidity, the folks at Cincinnati Bell are screwing up their Fuse and Zoomtown customers e-mails again. The Blower’s received more than a thousand error messages during the past few days claiming our E-Mail Advisories had supposedly failed, not because it was mislabeled as Spam, but because those e-mails AUTHENTICATION had failed, and we had to login. If anybody has the slightest idea of what that’s supposed to mean, please let us know.
And does the Hamilton County Board of Elections really needs more Precinct Election Officials (aka, Inside Poll Workers) for this election? These are very important roles to help ensure a fair election process. The job supposedly pays about $160 for attending training, setting up the day before, and working at the polls on Election Day. We tried contacting the person at the BOE who was supposed to be in charge of that to verify the need for poll workers, but she never returned our call, so The Blower suggests anybody who’s interested should call (513) 632-7000 and we’re sure somebody will be able to help you, since there don’t appear to be too many Free-Stuff Loving DemocRATS standing in line to vote Early and Often these days before November 3.
IN ANDERSON, Disguised DemocRATS really thought they had the goods on Anderson Trustee President “In Russ We Trust” Jackson when they saw a Floozie’s Facebook Picture we’ll call “Teresa Lord” because at first they thought it might have been Ohio actress “Traci Lords” who first became known for her underage appearances in pornographic movies identified by Facebook as one of Russ Jackson’s “Mutual Friends,” if you know what we mean. But one of The Blower’s investigative journalists checked it out, and the Friendly Floozie only turned out to be one of The Russler’s son’s “Mutual Friends.”
In Northern Kentucky, Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo is waiting to see if Rand Paul makes his promised filibuster of the pending budget deal the center piece of his “debate” appearance tonight. Paul’s high-profile opposition to the bipartisan Budget deal could be the last chance for his struggling campaign, but it’s not a bad last chance to have, since Paul could try to use the “debate” to set up a Mr. Smith moment when the legislation comes to the floor. The CamBoozler hopes what NBC’s Frank Thorp said wasn’t true, that Senate rules would only allow Rand Paul to speak for jone hour, and only more time would be granted if another senator yielded him time, so the bottom line would be our Junior Senator from Kentucky would have an opportunity to speak for hours-on-end for his campaign saving filibuster.
Finally, Facebook chose the following “Memory” from two years ago to post on Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane’s Timeline earlier this week. How prophetic was that?
