Just read that the Bilderburgers want oil to go to $7/gal in the USA :dunno:

 

I luv my little Hinda Click...103 MPG :cool:

 

$7 oil would suck obviously but the sting wouldn't be so bad if we had reliable, efficient and low cost mass transit to offset it.

 

$7 gas would make it so tough on the working poor as well as working and middle class families in LA and most of California. You must have a car in LA unless you live and work near home or on the train lines which don't go everywhere. Not likey in a city of that size. $7 gas has less impact in NYC obviously where they have an extensive train and bus system but large parts of the rest of the country aren't so fortunate. I bet we see a rise in motorcyles.

The Detroit motor companies decades ago supported the destruction of urban rail lines in the USA. Most cities complied. The electric mass transportation systems were ripped out and petrol-powered buses bought from Detroit to take their place. Time to rebuild the rail lines?

Ping HH. This is minor news for most people -- but have you read about the FBI seizing the domain names for the large online poker sites and shutting down access in the US?

 

Yep, big priority for the FBI. Lets shut down those poker games. It was pushed under legislation that came to pass under the Bush administration but sat dormant (UIGEA or something like that). And no, I'm no blaming Bush.

 

This one is O and his attorney general. They lost me on this one.

 

On a bright note, this won't any poker playing expats in LOS, it's just US residents.

 

baaaaah.

Neighborhood groups and businesses that it would run near or through would fight it tooth and nail. NIMBY would make it nigh on impossible.

Vegas money for lobbyists and the government itself are pissed they aren't cashing in on online and offshore gambling.

Their three main arguments are al quaida can hide money off shore or wash it through online gambling. (gambling is against islam for one and there are far more sophisticated ways to wash money), second, underage gambling. Some kid uses his parent's card or he has one from them and gambles online. (Really? give me a break) and third, not paying taxes on winnings (how many gamblers have a net profit after a year?).

 

Its all about money.

 

Obama is governing as a centrist and its not winning over anyone. He's not as far left as a lot of liberals who voted him for like and he could do everything the Republicans want and still be demonized as he's not their man. He's in nowhere land but unless the Republicans can field a credible candidate I think the American people will stick with the devil they know, like they did with Bush.

Anchorage officer charged with passport fraud

 

 

 

An Anchorage police officer who took on a false identity that masked his Mexican citizenship has been arrested and charged with passport fraud, federal officials said Frida

 

At a news conference Friday, U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler said that patrolman Rafael Espinoza, on the Anchorage police force for about six years, was really Rafael Mora-Lopez, a Mexican national working in the United States illegally.

 

[color:red]The man known as Officer Espinoza -- Mora-Lopez, in reality -- was an excellent employee, Police Chief Mark Mew said. The investigation has so far not turned up any information that Mora-Lopez was involved in any other criminal activity outside the case announced Friday, Mew said.

 

"His problem was he lied his way into the job," Mew said.[/color]

 

The identity swap was discovered when the police officer applied for a U.S. passport in January and officials from the State Department found that the Rafael Espinoza identity he was using was actually another person, a U.S. citizen in the Lower 48, Loeffler said.

 

The investigation is continuing, Loeffler said.

 

"We're just sorting through everything at this point," Loeffler said. "What happened is as soon as we were able to identify who the person was, the most important thing was to take action."

 

Mora-Lopez was arrested Thursday. Loeffler declined to say when Mora-Lopez entered the United States and where he has been since then. She said he didn't appear to be part of a larger conspiracy.

 

"We have no evidence at this time that this individual had been anything but a good police officer," Loeffler said.

 

Still, the man known as Espinoza handled many cases in six years, Mew said.

 

The state Attorney General's office will be looking closely at cases Officer Espinoza investigated, said John Skidmore, supervisor of the department's Special Prosecutions Unit.

 

"At this time, we have no reason to believe, with what we know so far, that this gentleman, this officer's, good work for APD has in any way been compromised or questioned," Skidmore said. "The work that he performed, the other facts to which he testified, we have no reason to believe that any of that is inaccurate. He did so under an assumed name, and yes that's something we need to evaluate and look at."

 

Part of the ongoing investigation will look into how the Mexican national slipped through the screening process for Anchorage police officers, Mew said. For example, officers must pass a lie-detector test during the interview process, Mew said.

 

"As part of that, do you ask them their name?" a reporter asked Mew.

 

"He obviously got through the polygraph," Mew said. "I can tell you what we generally ask, but what's at issue is what did we ask on that day, in that interview, and we haven't gotten to that yet."

 

Both Espinozas -- the real one and the one hired by the Anchorage Police Department -- had "squeaky clean backgrounds," Mew said. There was nothing to indicate the man should not have been hired, he said.

 

Loeffler's office said in a prepared statement that Mora-Lopez is 51 years old. At his arraignment just after Loeffler and Mew took questions from reporters, Mora-Lopez told a U.S. magistrate judge he was 47.

 

Mora-Lopez pleaded not guilty at his arraignment. Passport fraud, a felony, carries a maximum 10-year sentence, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

 

Judge John D. Roberts set Mora-Lopez's bail at $50,000 and approved conditions for his release that include home confinement and electronic monitoring.

 

Mora-Lopez's attorney revealed that his client had turned in a letter of resignation to the police department. The attorney, who declined to give his name, told the judge that Mora-Lopez had lived in Anchorage since the late 1980s and he has a wife and child living here.

 

Wearing orange prison clothes, Mora-Lopez had tears in his eyes as court officers put him in handcuffs and led him from the room.

 

"I was pretty proud to serve the community," Mora-Lopez said as he shuffled out.

Politcal payback to Harry Reid. Watch Nevada casinos get the ok to run online poker now. (And, of course, the Indian casinos who contribute to Barry/Demoncraps.) :content:

SURPRISE! SURPRISE!…OBAMA IS A LIFETIME CRIMINAL!

 

 

 

Trump is correct, Barry Soetoro, AKA Obama is hiding something in his past that is very bad… and it may not be his citizenship. (Trump would not say this if he did not know something and he has the money to get the dirt…)

 

As an IRS tax examiner,one of many former federal jobs, I have seen what it appears Barry Soetoro has done, mostly by illegal aliens attempting to acquire a new identity in the U.S and/or criminals looking to acquire a new ID.

 

Barry was raised as a Muslim in Indonesia and attended a Catholic funded school that permitted all faiths to attend.

 

Barry’s mother dropped him as a dependent for some reason, maybe even when Barry was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. His mother’s passport records dropped Barry as a dependent indicating Barry was no longer a legal dependent of his mothers. (The passport records of his mother have been produced showing Barry was no longer a dependent when Barry was permanently residing in Indonesia.) Barry went to Hawaii to live with his alleged grand parents after Lolo Soetoro and Barry’s mother divorced.

I wish you wingnutz would just be honest about the real reason they are obsessed with this subject. As Lee Atwater said: [color:purple]You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."[/color]

 

I would at least respect you for telling the truth. Not for anything else, mind you. But at least for having the balls to say what they mean.
