We all knew it was inevitable: the Great Decider has announced that the compassionate and benevolent US Federal Megastate will intervene to save mortgagees and mortgagors alike from the consequences of their own decisions.

Certain subprime mortgage borrowers will be privileged to refinance at lower rates into loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration—that is, the American taxpayer. The prevailing reasoning in Washington appears to be that the poor saps who borrowed at adjustable rates during the Fed-induced inflationary housing boom don’t understand the meaning of the word “adjustable.” A little extra added bonus for the bankers who loaned to the uncreditworthy: They get repaid after all.

But keep in mind this is not a bailout, the Decider-in-Chief is quick to tell us. That’s not the government’s job.

Violent attacks against Orlando-area cops soaring this year

Violent attacks on cops are on the rise this year, and officials don’t know why.

“More police officers are being kicked, punched and beaten across Central Florida this year, and local and state law-enforcement officials expect the numbers to keep rising.”

The rising violence coming from the militarized local police over the past few years as they typically use a SWAT team to kill a fly, taser people for traffic violations and zero tolerance for petty violations is finally having some blowback.  The stunned “officials” really have no clue why this is occurring.

Can you smell revolution in the air?

Sometimes, face to face encounters with Leviathan are necessary:

A fire breaks out in a damaged, partially demolished New York skyscraper at Ground Zero- but it doesn’t collapse into its own footprint. Amazing. The neo-con laws of physics have been defied!

From my cold dead fingers………NOT. A man turns in his “rocket launcher” to police for a pair of sneakers. What a wuss:

Melting glaciers have exposed those unfortunate enough not to heed the cooling warnings of Al Gore‘s Ice Age ancestors:

Johnny Mac greets fellow believers. It only seems like yesterday they were busy greasin’ gooks:

Semper F-eye.  This gives a whole new meaning to the term, “blinding nationalism.”

Off target, again. The Emperor attempts a pick but misses:

Hand me my trinket:

Someone hand this man a shovel.  Johnny McCain is down to peddling his propaganda in a stable- speaking his B.S. in a room full of H.S.:

To the state security apparatus size does matter:

The Emperor is distressed. He may soon have to find a new Iraqi puppet:

You were blessed with a young son.

On your pants leg he would tug.

You gave him to the state.

Now, it’s a rag covered coffin you hug.

Thank God for our glorious leader who continues to protect our children!

When businesses make mistakes they lose customers and therefore, revenue. Market forces mandate correcting those errors or the business will close. When government makes mistakes they are rewarded with increased funding.

So it goes with Hillary Clinton’s proposal for $10 billion to repair and replace U.S. bridges. All this “other people’s money,” of course, will be handed out to the same nitwits and incompetents who designed and built the bridges that have failed and are failing. Makes sense.

NASA sets the bar higher:

Take a closer look. The Emperor greets surviving pagan sacrifices:

The Empire is bleeding blood and treasure:

We have the end of habeas corpus and DNA samples in the street. The next step-express executions:
