Rep Brian Higgins and brinkmanship

January 2nd, 2013

Brinkmanship is a very strong word and the first time I remember hearing it was during the debate with Obama and Representative Kathy Hochul was on WBEN and she accused the Republicans in the House of Representatives of it. Back then it struck me as then everyone starting saying it, Democrat operatives and apologists including the President himself.

Once again the word is back and has reared it’s ugly head. Brian Higgins my new Congressman used it on WBEN with John and Susan, then the President, now all the talking heads are repeating it. It is the talking point of the day once again.

I have a question, who is it aimed at now? The Republicans or the Democrats? All the Democrat talking heads, here it’s Higgins, are throwing the word out. so who is it aimed at?

Assembly, Senate release 2013 calenda

December 31st, 2012

Oboy, look at this tough work schedule. Ya have to feel sorry for these guys, 53 days and they get a starting pay of $79,500 per year, per diem of $160 a day for each day they are in Albany. Each committee seat (which all have at least one) pays an additional $10 grand, if your a committee chair boost that up even more.

Then they spend the rest of their time fundraising for reelection and making sure their staff does what ever they can to make their bosses look good. The life of a NY Senator they say is the best job in the world, must be the same for an Assembly member.
Some members, as do congressman, sleep in their offices so they can save all that per diem money to supplement their income. Some travel there for no reason just to collect it. Pretty sickening for the most dysfunctional legislature in the country. So what ever you do, show some respect to these hard working “public servants”. After all they have to do exactly what their bosses want and YOU are NOT their bosses so remember that.

Obama Administration: We Can and Will Force Christians to Act Against Their Faith

December 29th, 2012

When are we going to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH? I cannot believe we just had an election. We are in the worst fiscal mess in history, we have more debt in history, executive orders are now the way to govern and he was just reelected? You cannot say we didn’t warn people. I just cannot believe this is happening in the United States of America.

The Obama administration is making a two-fold argument for why it can force Christians to act against their faith

Army acknowledges pedophilia part of Islam

December 26th, 2012


Most cultures do not tolerate having sex with children and being violent towards women. Forcing our US military to accept this deviant behavior is nothing more than acquiescence to evil.

“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours. ” — Charles Napier

The British Empire knew how to handle barbaric behavior.
Sadly, we are just as barbaric as the barbarians now.

All New Yorkers down state need to be aware of this. Talk about an invasion of privacy! Look at this map so you know if you are on it. It covers more than just Westchester and Rockland counties.

This is the home of the NY Journal columnist who published the names and addresses of all gun owners in NY. He shouldn’t have a problem with his info being published. Editors:

The map indicates the addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties. Each dot represents an individual permit holder licensed to own a handgun β€” a pistol or revolver. The data does not include owners of long guns β€” rifles or shotguns β€” which can be purchased without a permit. Being included in this map does not mean the individual at a specific location owns a weapon, just that they are licensed to do so.

Democrats in Maryland, NJ, NY and Massachusetts Charged or Found Guilty

December 26th, 2012

Voter fraud is rarely covered or even investigated in the media but it is there in huge numbers everywhere. Has anyone ever explained why there were over 900 votes coming out of a district in Florida where there is only 7 registered voters? All by the way for 0bama. Can you hear the crickets? But here are a couple cases where people are going to jail.

Hurricane Sandy Relief Bill Clears Senate soaks Taxpayers

December 26th, 2012

Can they ever pass a relief bill that does not have millions in pork dollars. What a novel concept to actually pass an emergency spending bill to help people without our $$ to be used by the likes of Schumer and Gillibrand to bring home the bacon. How about actually helping the people instead of creating media event after media event to pat themselves on the back.

The governors of both New York and New Jersey have asked the federal government to come up with a lot of money to help with recovery after Hurricane Sandy. It looks like they’re going to get it even in these tight financial times.

However, the storm relief bill being considered by the U.S. Senate has some interesting additions that have nothing to do with storm relief. For example, millions are being proposed for new cars for the FBI, salmon fisheries in Alaska, New England and the Gulf Coast, and aid to the Kennedy Space Center, to name a few.

It’s how things are done in Washington. It shouldn’t be, but it is. The more people that have a vested (read financial) interest in passing a bill, the greater the likelihood the bill will actually pass. If many senators can all get something in the bill to tout back home, then it’s much more likely the legislation will pass while in Washington, D.C.

Video: Rhode Island School Teacher Says”I Quit!”

December 23rd, 2012

The sad state of affairs of our schools. Listen to this teacher tell the truth about our failing schools and why after 15 years he quits and would rather tutor his students for free and leave his 70 Grand job a year. We need to keep these teachers and let them have control of their classroom instead of mindless bureaucrats.

MiniMax Concrete and the new F-550 Ford Power Take off

December 18th, 2012

Ford PTO

I want to know more about this PTO drive unit. I have approached dealers and they have no clue. I have also attempted to contact Ford about it and have yet to get a response from anybody. In this description they advertise operations for a concrete mixer but if you look at the F-550 the only concrete mixer it is capable of holding is our 2 yard mixer and smaller. How can we actually get someone at Ford to talk about it. Whose concrete mixers are they talking about? Don’t advertise it unless yopu can actually talk about it. It’s worse than pulling impacted wisdom teeth to get info on them. Is there anyone knowledgeable at Ford willing to discuss this. If the pressures are correct and the flow per minute, we can join up with Ford to sell Mini Concrete Mixers and grab the corner on the market to sell complete Mini Concrete Mixer trucks exclusively by Ford. No one else is doing it for the small mixers. Hello Ford! Anyone home??

Truck toll hike off scrapped

December 18th, 2012

I posted this on the Niagara Gazette website and plan on sending it out to the media. They are the ones that have to ask the tough questions. In this it appears Cuomo has taken it upon himself to shift the costs of Troop T (State Police) to
the taxpayers. Troop T is the branch of the state police that patrols the thruway.

The savings has always been there but like Albany the first thing they all do is to look at where they can raise revenue (Taxes). Another question should be raised as to why these cost saving measures have not been looked for long before this. This should show all of us that the savings are there and in every department and authority across New York state. But, they rarely ever look inward. It is simply the way those in government think but should be the policy everywhere. This is where business experience comes in. A business cannot run while losing money but government does all the time. Once again we always pay for the fiscal mismanagement of government entities.

Cuomo needs the NYSTA to be fiscally sound now? Why just now? Now seems to be more important then ever due to the constant borrowing the NYSTA does for New York state. They like to call it “bonding”. It is borrowing and they plan on borrowing billions to build the Tappanzee bridge, 5.6 billion is the figure being floated out there. My question and concern is why borrow through the thruway authority? Why doesn’t the state just “borrow” the money to build this bridge? Could it be that if done properly and according to the Constitution of NY Cuomo would have to put this borrowing plan up for public referendum and get permission from US the taxpayers in New York state? That question needs to be researched and asked.

Borrowing through the NYSTA and the Dormitory Authority has been the norm for Albany politicians. In reality it is the way they can borrow money without us giving them approval and the perfect way to circumvent the Constitution. I was told it is not illegal? But when you circumvent a Law the way they do I guess it’s OK?

The toll revenue is supposed to be used to keep the mainline thruway in good repair. The toll revenue should NOT be used to keep the canal open, maintain any roads off the mainline thruway where there is no tolls collected, should not be used to pay back loans the politicos take out for pork projects and to balance the budget, I could go on but there is a Lawsuit being put together that will challenge the legality of how toll revenue is being spent in this state. Maybe the NYSTA and Cuomo see it coming and are trying to take the attention off of the illegal use of funds and the mismanagement of all governmental, quasi governmental authorities and the mismanagement of NY State government.

This should be a sign to all of us taxpayers in NY. If the thruway authority can find enough savings in a short time, then government at all levels can find savings to actually lower taxes in this state. The thruway is just a symptom of the sickness in every department at every level of government across the state and country. Will the people see this? They will IF the media helps expose what is going on and simply asks the questions. I’m just a guy that cares to look deeply in to government mismanagement. I wish every one would do the same.

Of course this is just my opinion, I could be wrong.
