GENEVA —  The World Health Organization declared the swine flu pandemic officially over Tuesday, months after many national authorities started canceling vaccine orders and shutting down hot lines as the disease ebbed from the headlines.

WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said the organization’s emergency committee of top flu experts advised her that the pandemic had “largely run its course” and the world is no longer in phase six — the highest influenza alert level.

“I fully agree with the committee’s advice,” Chan told reporters in a telephone briefing from her native Hong Kong.

The virus has now entered the “post-pandemic” phase, meaning disease activity around the world has returned to levels usually seen for seasonal influenza, she said.

But Chan cautioned against complacency, saying that even though hospitalizations and deaths have dropped sharply, countries should still keep a watchful eye for unusual patterns of infection and mutations that might render existing vaccines and antiviral drugs ineffective.

“It is likely that the virus will continue to cause serious disease in younger age groups,” she said, urging high-risk groups such as pregnant women to continue seeking vaccination.

Swine Flu? Rings a bell somehow.

Oh yeah, now I remember……the swine flu. That was supposed to be the next flu pandemic, and it dominated headlines for the better part of a year. We stockpiled vaccines, and avoided the general public so we wouldn’t be infected. After all, not only would the swine flu cause instant death, but it would also cause you to grow a long snout and live in filth as well.

According to the World Health Organization, it is not a threat anymore

Was it ever really a threat, or is this just another crisis in the constant stream of planetary killers that the media is so kind as to impose upon us?

The final tally is that nearly 20,000 people died as the result of the H1N1 virus, which is an afterthought when compared to the nearly 200,000 worldwide who die as a result of the flu each and every year. So you may ask yourself, “What the hell was all of the hand wringing all about”?

I hate to say it, but a good crisis attracts eyeballs to television shows, and readers to the daily papers, so I am of the opinion that the media has never seen a crisis that it didn’t enjoy. And better yet, if there isn’t a real crisis for the media to whip up into a frenzy, then why don’t we just make one up?

Wasn’t the Swine Flu George Bush’s Doing?

Actually, I may know just what happened. Since George W. Bush caused global warming, Hurricane Katrina, and the 9/11 attacks, maybe the swine flu was just another one of his clever ruses. I am positive that Bush created the swine flu, and it was only due to the fact that he left office that spared our world from a tremendous catastrophe!

Now if this isn’t a damn farce, I don’t know what is.

According to the president of the NAACP, Ben Jealous, the Tea Party is chock full of racist people bent on harming African-Americans. Speaking at the organization’s annual convention this week, Mr. Jealous let loose on the Tea Party folks: “Here comes the genetic descendent of the White Citizens Council, burst from its coffin, carrying signs and slogans like ‘Lynch Barack Hussein Obama’ … ”

As we mentioned in a previous post about the Tea Party’s Racism, or the lack there of, they are absolutely fabricating the whole thing. I have yet to see any evidence of anyone at a tea party rally carrying any sign that has “Lynch Barack Hussein Obama”. However, to me, the proof that there is no such thing is the fact that it hasn’t been shown in a single photograph yet. As a matter of fact, if anyone has ever had any aspiration to being featured on the cover of NewsWeek, here are some sure fire steps to get on the front cover.

How to get on the cover of every mainstream news publication in the United States

1. Make a Sign that says “Lynch Barack Hussein Obama”
2. Find the nearest Tea Party Rally
3. Go there
4. When you get there, take the sign out and hold it up for between 3-5 minutes
5. Yell loudly
6. Leave the Tea Party Rally
7. Wait one week
8. Go to your neighborhood news stand, and choose between Newsweek, Time, the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and at least 20 other mainstream publications that have your photo on the cover with the label, “Tea Party Racist”

Now that you are officially the most hated person in America, make sure that you change phone numbers, hire private security, keep your children out of school for the next 6 months, and call in sick to work (I know that if you like the Tea Party, you have a job)

You wanna find Racism? Look at the NAACP

Thats right……the door swings both ways. I am not doubting that there are still white idiots who are holding on to these archaic beliefs as well, but the most glaring way of race baiting in todays society can be awarded to organizations like the NAACP…..

They sit there and bitch and moan and complain about their sad state of affairs, and seem to never tire of blaming the white man. As a matter of fact, if they spend 1/4 of the time trying to develop a real solution to their troubles, than complaining about white people, they wouldn’t have any of the problems that they seem to claim to have today. And yet strangely enough, as most whites vehemently denounce racism, these morons turn a blind eye to people like this dumbass who recently went on a rant about how he would love to kill crackers, and especially their babies.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the one, the only King Samir Shabazz!

Now take a look at this little twerp, King Samir Shabazz (no it isn’t a character from the Lion King, that’s his “real” name)….this fine young man is also the one who was brandishing a night stick at the polling station during the election of 2008. He is every bit as bad as any Klan member, but for some reason, he flies under the radar when the NAACP are decrying racism every single time………hypocrites…….

There is an old addage that reads, “If you see something in other people that you hate, you need to take a closer look at yourself, for that is where the problem tends to lie”.

That’s exactly what the NAACP needs to do. Take a close look into their actions, and their own lack of condemnation of groups like the black panthers and King Samir Shabazz. But noooooo……let’s instead spend all of our time condemning that damn racist tea party…….

We should all do the same thing….white, black, brown, green…..

We should all uniformly condemn everybodywho exhibits any type of racist behavior. If we team up against these idiots instead of making blanket assumptions about races in general, then we will be way ahead of the game.

Oil spills suck, and obviously have no winners whatsoever. In this case, it is damaging the environment, has instituted a new policy of not drilling offshore, and worst of all, it is being politicized by the Obama administration. As the gusher continues to spew on the gulf floor, it seems that the government is pointing their finger at BP, as opposed to helping to solve the problem.

Stop politicizing the spill and DO SOMETHING!

Here is a thought Obama administration. Get off your ass and stop blaming BP, and start doing everything in your power to fix this damn leak! Are you telling me that the United States, with all of it’s technology and innovation, can’t come up with one single thing to help? Why the hell have we created a bureaucracy for every little idea, like a “Green Jobs Czar”, and get on the ball with a solution for this problem.

New Poll Finds Spill Anger Growing

More than a month after the gulf oil spill, most Americans find BP’s handling of the situation as severely lacking. However, BP isn’t the only one drawing fire about the spill. Americans disapprove of the Obama administration’s handling of the spill, according to a new CBS News poll.

According to CBS News:

Seven in 10 of those polled disapprove of how BP has handled the spill. Forty-five percent disapprove of the Obama administration’s handling of the spill while 35 percent approve. President Obama’s overall job approval rating is 47 percent while 43 percent express disapproval.

The telephone poll, conducted Thursday through Monday with 1,054 adults, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Is this the Excuse Obama Needs to Cease Drilling Offshore?

Over the past decade, the oil and gas industry has been demonized by the people on the left as no industry ever has…..maybe with the exception of the tobacco industry.  However, oil and gas are not only a vital part of the U.S. economy, but they also are a key component of the overall security of the United States itself. After all, don’t forget that way back in the 1940’s, it is believed that the Japanese attacked the U.S as the result of an oil embargo.

Obama would rather golf than come up with a solution

So if oil and gasoline is so important, why on earth would we start to cut back on exploration and drilling offshore? You know that all of the other countries currently drilling in the gulf sure as hell aren’t going to quit their own oil efforts. However, since we are obviously so cautious about public perception about anything, why don’t we get to the root cause.

You know the sad thing……..Obama won’t do a thing until this problem is fixed. He played golf twice this week since he was obviously so concerned. When it is resolved, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the President take credit for stopping it after the fact….

Specter’s flip flop bites him in the ass

I guess that switching parties in a constant search for political relevancy just doesn’t do the trick. On Tuesday, Pennsylvania voters kicked Arlen Specter to the curb in the Democratic Senate primary. Hell, even Barack Obama, AKA. the messiah, came to Pennsylvania to campaign on his behalf. Yet he lost the primary.  If this isn’t well deserved justice, then I don’t know what is.

By sending home this politician, it gives a clear signal that voters have had enough of politicians whose only purpose in public service is to use their seat as a platform for personal gain. Politicians who will do anything, and say anything to get elected are getting ready to go the way of the passenger pigeon. So Benedict Specter……..exit stage right!

Final Tally on Arlen Spector's Primary Defeat

Charlie Crist, you are next!

Are you paying close attention Charlie? If I were you, I would make sure that you have some hobbies lined up, as you are getting ready to have quite a bit of free time on your hands. Maybe he can spend more time working on his oompa loompa like tan, and out of place white hair!
Crist exhibited a severe case of confusion by declaring openly on Fox News Sunday that he would never consider a run for the Senate on anything but the Republican platform. However, like Specter, Crist noticed that he was lagging substantially in the polls, so he decided that winning a seat by any means necessary trumps any semblance of a personal belief system.

As a result, Crist has done a 180 degree turn and decided to run as an independent candidate, not as a Republican. By doing so, that damn idiot is putting the seat in danger by possibly splitting the conservative vote come November. How selfless of him……..

So Crist is getting ready to get the boot, and I can only convey my gratitude to Marco Rubio for sending him packing.

Pay attention Politicians. The American Voter isn’t stupid

All of the jockeying for position in Washington aside, the one person that these politicans are estimated are nothing but your average run of the mill voter. And these voters are fed up!

We have officially lost our minds

The terrorists of 9/11 are probably looking up from hell and see something that makes all of the hellfire and brimstone that they are subjected to on a daily basis.  A brand new mosque rises over Ground Zero, and it is set to open its doors……..on 9/11/11.

The Plans for the Muslim house of worship, is topped by a 13-story cultural center with a swimming pool, and resides in a building damaged by the fuselage of a jet flown by extremists into the World Trade Center.

The opening date shall live in infamy: Sept. 11, 2011. The 10th anniversary of the day a hole was punched in the city’s heart.

Have we gone absolutely *^#*ing insane? I hate to sound xenophobic, but this is just absurd.

In todays age of political correctness, which is killing us slowly, do we care so much about not offending anyone that we don’t give a damn about the nearly 3,000 American citizens who died on 9/11? Could they not wait another week to open the doors of the mosque in a reverent gesture towards the victims of the 19 hijackers that took their lives in the name of Islam?

The New Mosque near the World Trade Center Site

Paul Sipos, member of Community Board 1 in New York City made the point that, ”If the Japanese decided to open a cultural center across from Pearl Harbor, that would be insensitive,” Sipos said. “If the Germans opened a Bach choral society across from Auschwitz, even after all these years, that would be an insensitive setting. I have absolutely nothing against Islam. I just think: Why there?”

What a great, well thought out point!

The group, Stop Islamicization of America, has a rally planned for my birthday on June 6th to show their disagreement about the opening date of the new mosque. Executive director Pamela Geller said, “What could be more insulting and humiliating than a monster mosque in the shadow of the World Trade Center buildings that were brought down by an Islamic jihad attack? Any decent American, Muslim or otherwise, wouldn’t dream of such an insult. It’s a stab in the eye of America.”

Stay tuned…….

George Bush was vilified for not responding quicker to the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Well, just as it is with most things, the media tends to give the current administration a pass on an even worse response rate. Since Obama waited a full 9 days to even acknowledge the severity of the situation, he deserves to answer for his ineptitude.

Even more troubling is that the White House response has largely consisted of dispatching tort lawyers to New Orleans to start the wonderful process of making sure that lawsuits abound over the crisis.   Here’s an idea. Why don’t you worry about stopping the oil leak before you even think about legal actions?

Even worse is the fact that Obama is shutting down other rigs as a result of the tragedy that have absolutely nothing to do with the BP disaster. Equally infuriation is the fact that Obama announced on April 30th that he was outlawing new drilling in the gulf for the forseeable future. Yeah, lets harm our domestic oil output, putting more dependence on foreign oil imports from the middle east……that makes sense.

A timeline for the Obama response can be seen here in a great post by Doug Ross.

How Bad is the Gulf Oil Spill?

Let’s review this crisis, and the gravity of the situation that is facing the gulf coast. The best estimate is that the rig is leaking about 200,000 gallons of oil per day. If engineers have to drill down and install a relief well to stop the leak, the work will take about 90 days. Given estimates of what already has leaked, some estimate that could be three Exxon Valdez spills headed for the gulf coast and, in the worst case, South Florida. There has even been concern that the ocean currents could carry the spill as far as the Atlantic Ocean.

However bad the reports may be, lets try to put this spill in perspective.The New York Times puts it the best by comparing the worst spills in history to the current crisis.

“The ruptured well, currently pouring an estimated 210,000 gallons of oil a day into the gulf, could flow for years and still not begin to approach the 36 billion gallons of oil spilled by retreating Iraqi forces when they left Kuwait in 1991. It is not yet close to the magnitude of the Ixtoc I blowout in the Bay of Campeche in Mexico in 1979, which spilled an estimated 140 million gallons of crude before the gusher could be stopped.

And it will have to get much worse before it approaches the impact of the Exxon Valdez accident of 1989, which contaminated 1,300 miles of largely untouched shoreline and killed tens of thousands of seabirds, otters and seals along with 250 eagles and 22 killer whales.”

What does the future hold with the Gulf Oil Spill?

Lets hope that we stop politicizing things, and come up with a fix for the problem, instead of filing lawsuits. After all, BP announced today that they are going to pay for the clean up, and all associated costs with the disaster. And let’s hope and pray that the spill isn’t as severe as many fear.

The Arizona Immigraton bill is meant to protect American Citizens

The way that liberals, and especially President Obama are whining about the new immigration bill in Arizona, you would think that the governor woke up and decided to enact a vendetta towards illegal Mexicans purely for the hell of it.

Somehow, it is lost upon the mainstream media that there is in fact, the real purpose for the passage of the Arizona law S.B. 1070  is to protect the citizens of the state. After all, the ever increasing tide of illegal immigrants has resulted in a spike violent crime, even more strain on the public healthcare system, and a steady flow of drugs and corruption to the general public.

So, what does the law say exactuly?

I have included the basic verbiage below, or you can read the bill in it’s entirety by clicking here.

The legislature finds that there is a compelling interest in the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of Arizona. The legislature declares that the intent of this act is to make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona. The provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the UnitedStates.

S.B. 1070- 1 -1 Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:

The legislature finds that there is a compelling interest in the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of Arizona. The legislature declares that the intent of this act is to make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona. The provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United10 States.

The Arizona Bill Gives Power Back to the People

The Arizona Immigration bill is one of the very few laws enacted in this day and age that actually sides with the American citizen. It gives police the ammunition to become more aggressive towards the burden of illegal immigration, thereby making that state a safer, more accommodating place to live.

And when the hell were we so concerned with the “rights” of people who have broken the law, and are here illegally. It makes no sense to reward this type of bad behavior, which in turn gives way to an even heavier flow of inbound illegal traffic. So who cares if we profile people who fit the bill of being here illegally?  The bottom line is that, like young Muslim males on planes, we can and should racially profile suspicious people who are up to no good. It just makes sense…

What do you think about the Arizona Immigration Bill?

Those Damn Violent Tea Party People

The Tea Party is without a doubt the most violent and extreme movement in the history of the United States. At least that is what the mainstream media would like you to believe.

To hear them talk, the tea party members are out there rioting, robbing, and killing, anyone who doesn’t share their views. So, I went out there and found some pictures that validate the obvious claim that the tea party protestors are vile excuses for human beings.

Here is the montage of photos, all taken in an anti tea party article from Time Magazine.

Angry Tea Party Activists include the angry youth, blatantly patriotic, racist families, and (Especially) the Rabid Elderly.

Can’t you tell that the little girl in this picture is actually a gun toting racist? It is totally obvious to me…..the statue of liberty costume says it all.

This old lady would just as soon stab you in the throat and play with your blood as look at you. Damn extremist!

What you can’t tell from this picture is the fact that this kid participates in Klan rallies when he isn’t picketing at Tea Party protests.

Little Bastard…..

You always have to keep your guard up when dealing with extremists toting around threatening American Flags.

This Lady beat up a police officer because he didn’t agree that taxes should be lowered.

I could have told the cop that from just looking at her.

This was taken right before the authorities were forced to start firing tear gas into this crowd of threatening people.

Especially that little blond girl toting the threatening “Right vs. Wrong” sign.

The Pictures of the Tea Party Protestors Don’t Lie

I hope that this drives home the point that the tea party is made up of nothing but radicals, anarchists, and criminals. The only thing that I can’t figure out is that there is a lack of photo evidence of these damn people committing some of their heinous acts. Where are the pictures of the riot police, and protestors being taken away in handcuffs? Why aren’t these people showing the multi-cultural flags that the Mexican protestors were so quick to adorn? Where are the pictures of people burning the American flag in the street? And last but not least, has anybody heard the final tally of criminal damage dollar figures and arrests from these rallies?

Oh, wait a second……thats right……that is only what happens when liberal protestors are involved……

Sunday Vote on Healthcare

The countdown to the Obamacare bill has finally reached zero, with the vote scheduled for tomorrow. Either way, the healthcare bill will be passed or defeated on 3/21/10.

From a top level source in the House comes the news that the Democrats are still short of the 216 votes they need to pass Obamacare. They have decided, however, to go for broke on Sunday and attempt to pass it whether or not they have enough support. They feel that only by forcing a vote can the force members off the fence. They hope that by employing all means at their disposal, they can round up enough votes for passage. But, if they don’t have the votes, they will allow the measure to be defeated. One source called it a “suicide run.”

The Most Polarizing Issue in a Generation

The Obama Healthcare bill has been one of the most riveting political arguments ever, and if passed, it will alter the government influence on our society forever. As one who believes that this would be an abrupt move in the wrong direction, I hope and pray that the conscience of every democrat on the fence will manifest itself this evening while they sleep, and they give the big “thumbs down” tomorrow.

If they don’t, then 1/6 of our economy will be taken over, and there is no telling where the rabbit hole may lead. If you listen to our friends in Great Britain or Canada, we will have long lines, healthcare rationing, and the government serving as judge and juror in each of our healthcare situations.

If Healthcare Passes, What is Next?

A great fear of many is that if Obamacare can get pushed through using a backdoor tactic such as reconciliation or a daemon vote, this may be the beginning of a long line of far left legislation assaulting the U.S. people. Cap and Trade, Financial Reform, Global Warming, and other far left bills may be pushed though in a similar way. In essence, this would bring the legislative process to its knees, voiding the tenets of the required majorities needed to pass a bill.

With back room deals and blatant bribes becoming the norm in Washington, where will our country stand 10 years from now? The only thing that is certain is that it will look much different if healthcare is given the heads up tomorrow.

Newsflash……World Not Ending in 2012

Screw waiting until 2012 for the world to end……the Mayans were two years too late. That’s right, I am convinced that the destruction of mankind is much closer than we think. After all, we have seen several signs of the upcoming apocalypse such as:

However, there are 2 more developments that seal the deal.

.

Guns don’t Kill People. Salt and Trans Fatty Acids Kill People

There is absolutely no doubt we are doomed when a bill is introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking. As if the city wide ban on Trans fat wasn’t bad enough, they are going after that nasty chemical that is manufactured by the metric ton by threatening artificial chemical plants such as “The Ocean”.

A Salt with a deadly Weapon

The proposed bill, A. 10129 , states in part that, “No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises”

Do you think that the morons that we call legislators are somehow misguided, mistakenly thinking that the salt in the “Dead Sea” is actually deadly to humans? Or maybe they think that since drinking ocean water will make you sick, salt in food could do the same?

Unfortunately, none of these reasons hold any merit. The real culprit is the fact that politicians believe in big government imposing more and more rules in our daily lives. Don’t get me wrong, eating a ton of salt probably isn’t the most healthy thing a person could do. However, our government continues to protect its citizens from another deadly menace……ourselves.

A New Evil has Declared War against America

Screw worrying about Muslim Fanatics. The United States of America is under assault by a threat by a force that kills without mercy, targets men, women, and children without hesitation, and does it all while managing help the environment by saving you money at the pump. No, not Hugo Chavez……I am talking about the Toyota Prius.

The Toyota Prius is already targeting American citizens, as evidenced by the car trying to kill a California man last week by accelerating and not stopping despite the man’s cries.

Prius - Wanted Dead or Alive

San Diego resident James Sikes, 61, was the subject of a highly publicized incident on a Southern California freeway March 8. Sikes said his Prius’s gas pedal stuck, causing his car to speed to 94 mph. He was able to stop the vehicle after calling 911 and receiving instructions from a state trooper who pulled his cruiser alongside the speeding hybrid.

However, while this Prius attack failed, there are multiple others in the works, as reports of Prius cells coming across the border have law enforcement and the military scrambling to contain the threat. However, the government authorities are working at a disadvantage, since they aren’t allowed to discriminate against small compact Toyota cars due to the politically correct cries of model and make auto profiling.

So hold onto your loved ones, and prepare for the end of the world. After all, I just heard a breaking news story about a Toyota Prius racing out of control towards New York City. The commentator said that the rogue car had a dirty salt bomb laced with Trans Fatty Acids, and was last seen breaking the law by smoking a cigarette in a state mandated non smoking sports bar.
