Verse 58 of the Obama impeachment song. O.K the Iran gets nukes deal – or the Dollar is finished.

On Tuesday U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said at a Reuters Newsmaker event:

“If the United States walks away from the nuclear deal with Iran and demands that its allies comply with U.S. sanctions, a loss of confidence in U.S. leadership could threaten the dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency”

“If we turn around and nix the deal and then tell them, ‘You’re going to have to obey our rules and sanctions anyway,’ that is a recipe, very quickly … for the American dollar to cease to be the reserve currency of the world,”

This is blackmail. Obama gives away 150 Billion dollars to Iran, after which Iran is free to Nix the deal in 35 days and make nuclear bombs in a couple of months after that, – or, he is willing to negotiate away the dollar as well. Given the Obama team’s excellent negotiating skills, breaking every negotiating rules in the book – what could go wrong?

Which leads to is verse 58 of the Obama impeachment song.  (Imagine it sung by Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”).

I use blackmail every day

make Congress kneel down and obey.

Unless they do as I say

the Dollar is finished – gone away.

CO2 reductions to solve Climate change? Wrong solution for the world. A Limerick.

Renewable energy: – Clean.

The world is so dirty and mean.

Never mind the expense

and it doesn’t make sense.

CO2 is what makes the world green.

The White House Aug 3 announced a target of 32% reduction in CO2 emission from U.S. power plants by 2030. This is a target that no existing Coal fired power plant can meet, only natural gas fired power plants. He also proposed a 70% reduction in emissions other than CO2, which has its merits.

Obama may yet succeed in his campaign promise: “Under my plan the electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.”

Obama wants us to have as expensive electricity as Denmark and Germany, the two countries with the most wind and solar power per capita. scatterplot-electricity-cost-vs-installed-renewable-capacity-aus

The chart tells it all. Thirty Cent/ kWh in Denmark.

Us is (was?) an outlier with cheap and abundant fossil fuel and low fuel taxes.

Australia is an outlier, They are paying for implementing a carbon tax.

The President said in his announcement that last year was the warmest on record and that fourteen of the fifteen warmest years occurred in this century.

Another way of looking at the temperature record is: Last year was still one of the 700 coldest in the last 10000 years. See fig:  GISP2 Ice CoreWe have now had over ten years since the last major hurricane hit the U.S. mainland. A new record.

The rise of the oceans is partly because we are still recovering from the last Ice age. One point in Northern Sweden is rising as much as three feet per century. This and normal continental drift explains why many coastlines such as the Eastern Seaboard are sinking.

The fiscal status of all fifty states according to party rule.

The Mercatus Center of George Mason University has come out with a study of which states are most fiscally solvent as of fiscal year 2013. These are their rankings of all 50 states. The best fiscal status in enjoyed by states ruled by a Republican governor, Republican legislature. There are 25 of these with an average score of 0.87

1. Alaska                            8.26

2. North Dakota                2.97

3. South Dakota                2.84

4. Nebraska                       2.75

5. Florida                           2.74

6. Wyoming                       2.67

7. Ohio                               1.30

8. Tennessee                     1.10

9. Oklahoma                     0.99

11. Utah                            0.95

12. Nevada                       0.62

13. Alabama                     0.60

15. Idaho                           0.32

16. Indiana                        0.07

17. South Carolina          – 0.03

19. Texas                         – 0.12

24. Kansas                        – 0.48

26. Georgia                       – 0.58

27. North Carolina           – 0.63

28. Wisconsin                   – 0.64

29. Arkansas                     – 0.66

32. Arizona                        – 0.78

33. Mississippi                – 0.78

34. Michigan                    – 0.80

35. Louisiana                     – 0.85

Slightly negative for fiscal responsibility is to have a Democrat Governor, Republican Legislature. There are 6 of these with an average score of – 0.20

10. Montana                         0.98

14. Missouri                          0.49

20. New Hampshire          – 0.13

21 Virginia                          – 0.21

41. Pennsylvania               – 1.14

43. West Virginia              – 1.20

Now we are getting into real negative territory for fiscal solvency. We start with a Republican Governor, Split Legislature. There are six of those with an average score of  – 1.01

18. Iowa                              – 0.04

22. Colorado                     – 0.27

36. New Mexico               – 0.92

42.  Maine                          – 1.15

48. Massachusetts            – 1.84

50. Illinois                           – 1.86

Equally bad is to have a Democrat Governor, split Legislature. There are four of them with an average 0f  – 1.01

23. Washington                – 0.43

31. Minnesota                   – 0,70

45. Kentucky                    – 1.42

46. New York                   – 1.49

Worse still is to have a Democrat Governor, Democrat Legislature. The seven of them have an average score of – 1.09

25. Oregon                        – 0.50

30. Delaware                     – 0.69

38. Rhode Island               – 1.06

39. Vermont                       – 1.08

40. Hawaii                        – 1.08

44. California                      – 1.41

47. Connecticut                 – 1.83

And finally, worst of all is to have a Republican Governor, Democrat Legislature. There are two of those with an average

of – 1.42.

37. Maryland                      – 0.98

49. New Jersey                   – 1.86

This helps to explain why Democrats want the Federal Government to handle everything for them since their states are hopelessly irresponsible with their states affairs, while Republicans as a rule tend to want to have every state handle their own affairs as they see best fit.

One further startling observation is that New Jersey under Governor Chris Christie came in next to last. This helps to explain the reluctance of the more conservative (or fiscally responsible states) to endorse him for President.

On the other hand, Alaska came in first, not in small part due to the heroic efforts of Sarah Palin during her 31.7 month reign as Governor, where she managed to get the Credit Rating for her state to go from AA to AA+ and then raised again to AAA shortly after her resignation. She accomplished more in this short time than most governors do in two terms.

This also helps in part to explain the irrational hatred for Sarah Palin. She did clean up the graft and corruption in Alaska, and they are afraid she would do the same on a national level should she become President.

Greece facing bankruptcy. A Limerick.

With bankruptcy looming in Greece                                              Prime minister Alexis Tsipras

indexTheir socialist Tsipras decrees:

“You reject their demand.

It will strengthen my hand.”

My charm gives me more fools to fleece.

After Greece going bankrupt, which country comes next? Italy, Spain, Portugal, Puerto Rico?

Maybe even the United States?

Speaking of fools the US president spoke to Mr Tsipras and Ms Merkel before leaders gathered in Brussels.

He told the German Chancellor “it is in everyone’s interest to reach a durable agreement that will allow Greece to resume reforms, return to growth, and achieve debt sustainability within the eurozone,” said a White House statement.

Just what we need, go deeper in debt to bail out the socialist-communist Tsipras.

A Limerick about Sarah Palin and some thoughts about America.

A gal from the forty-ninth state
made “leaders” all bristle with hate.
She resigned from her post
to accomplish the most.
And now, she is Grizzly Mom Great.

On a totally? different note, here is a view from Canada, how the rest of the world sees us with our current “leaders.”

# 10 Only in America… could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate Obama campaign fund-raising event, or demand $300000 for a speech at a university, claiming to be “one of them”.

# 09 Only in America… could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black, 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans – 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!

# 08 Only in America… could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (former head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

# 07 Only in America… can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash, and the administration declare it “workplace violence”.

# 06 Only in America… would they make millions of people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just ‘magically’ become American citizens. (probably should be number one).

# 05 Only in America… could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be called EXTREMISTS.

# 04 Only in America… could you need to present a valid ID to cash a check or buy alcohol, or board a commercial aircraft, but not to vote.

# 03 Only in America… could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making sneakers (Nike).

# 02 Only in America… could you collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year – for total spending of $7 Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.

# 01 Only in America…. could the rich people – who pay 86% of all Federal income taxes – be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.

And Yet, the United States of America still stands. It is gives proof through the night that our flag is still there, o’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.

The ten most attractive countries to invest in, and the ten worst.

Daniel Altman’s 2015 list of investment attractiveness by country is out. The ranking is based on an index for baseline profitability that assumes that three factors affect the ultimate success of a foreign investment: how much the value of an asset grows; the preservation of that value while the asset is owned; and the ease of repatriation of proceeds from selling the asset. The index combines measures for each of these factors into a summary statistic that conveys a country’s basic attractiveness for investment. Daniel Altman is the creator of the index and an Adjunct Professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, in the Foreign Policy magazine.

How did it go? India jumped from number 6 to first, and Hong Kong, the 2014 leader slumped to the 11th position.

The list of the top ten is surprising, at least to a person unaccustomed to foreign investing.

1. India.

2. Qatar

3. Botswana.

4. Singapore.

5. Ghana.

6 Malaysia.

7. Mongolia.

8. Rwanda.

9. Zambia.

10. Sri Lanka.

How did the U.S.A. do? it came in as number 50 dropping 24 positions from 2014, when it came in as number 26.profitabilityindex

China dropped to number 65, down from number 60 in 2014.

And who are the ten worst countries to invest in? (The list only has 110 countries, so Iran, Cuba  and North Korea  among others are not included.)

101. Nigeria.

102. Belarus.

103. Italy.

104. Papua New Guinea.

105. Russia.

106. Lebanon.

107. Angola.

108. Dem. Rep. of Congo.

109. Argentina.

110. Venezuela.

The Hindu Digest added a nice picture to brag about the great progress India has made since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister.

 

 

The economy nearly stalled in first quarter due to lack of Global Warming. A Limerick.

U.S. economic growth nearly stalled in the first quarter as harsh weather dampened consumer spending and energy companies struggling with low prices slashed spending.

Gross domestic product expanded at an only 0.2 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday. That was a big step down from the fourth quarter’s 2.2 percent pace and marked the weakest reading in a year

This winter’s cold Climate Disruption

has caused a big growth interruption.

When it’s warm it is good

makes the plants grow more food.

More CO2: Food distribution.

CO2 concentration has increased from about 280 ppm in pre-industrial times to nearly 400 ppm today, and is increasing at a rate of 2 ppm per year. We are way past the point of no return, 350 ppm which would lead to a temperature catastrophe. But instead, something rather interesting is occurring. The earth is getting greener!  This 40 % increase in CO2 the last 250 years has led to a more than 30 % increase in agricultural production all by itself without adding fertilizer or using higher yielding seeds.  Thanks to this we can now feed an additional two billion people on earth without starvation. The news are so good, that the per capita food production is increasing, even as the population is increasing.

Look at it this way. The value of basic agricultural products is more than 1.5 trillion dollars worldwide. 30% of that is due to increased CO2. That means that the CO2 emitted is worth 450 billion dollars, spread out over all farmers and ranchers worldwide. This wealth transfer is occurring right now, and knows no national boundary. It is a gift from the developed countries to the rest of the world. Who could be against that?

It turns out that this wealth transfer occurs without global governance. The leaders of the world will not have their say in who gets the wealth transfer, the U.N. bureaucrats will not get their cut, and politicians cannot get a campaign issue since it  occurs without their involvement.

Hillary okayed sale of Uranium mine to Russia for a donation and a honorarium.

So Hillary sold our Uranium

for cash and a huge honorarium.

Putin sells to Iran

yellow cake, with no ban.

Is anything left in her cranium?

This sheds new light on her “Reset” with Russia.

A trip down memory lane from Geneva March 2009.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opened her first extended talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov by giving himperegruzka a present meant to symbolize the Obama administration’s vow to “press the reset button” on U.S.-Russia relations.

She handed a palm-sized box wrapped with a bow. Lavrov opened it and pulled out the gift: a red button on a black base with a Russian word peregruzka printed on top.

“We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” Clinton asked.

“You got it wrong,” Lavrov said.

Instead of “reset,” Lavrov said the word on the box meant “overcharge.”peregruzkareset

Clinton and Lavrov laughed.

“We won’t let you do that to us,” she said.

It doesn’t say ПЕРЕГРУЗКА on the button, it says PEREGRUZKA. The mistranslation is bad enough, but using Roman letters instead of Cyrillic? What was going on? Didn’t anyone realize they use a different alphabet over there? There are two possible explanations: Ignorance, or arrogance on the part of the Hillary Clinton State Department. I know  Hillary Clinton has demonstrated plenty of both in statements such as: “What difference does it make?”

How has this reset worked out for us? Besides Iran, Syria, Turkey, Hezbollah, Libya, Pakistan, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and many other countries where U.S. and Russia have opposing interests, and Poland where we plainly sold out the missile defense, we are in a pickle on two fronts:

1. Space exploration.

Since Obama made it NASA’s highest priority to promote the contributions of Islam to science and the scrapping of the space shuttle program with no replacements in sight we are totally dependent on Russia to ferry our astronaut scientists to and from the space station.

Russia is doing the rational thing: Tripling the fees from $22 million to  $71 million to transport just one American astronaut to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard its Soyuz spacecraft in 2016. –

2. Uranium. By selling 20% of our Uranium to Russia via a Canadian Corporation in exchange for a large donation to the Clinton Foundation and a half million dollar speaking fee for Bill Clinton, this has left us vulnerable to extortion, since we are a net importer of Uranium for our electricity production. National security is at risk.

Maybe Hillary really meant “Overcharge” instead of reset? Hillary, as well as Obama seem to love to give money to our adversaries instead of caring about our economy at home.

New Chemical Element discovered, Hillarium.

Abstract:

Thanks to excellent original research by Dr. William DeBuvitz , a now retired physics professor at Middlesex County College in Edison, New Jersey, published in the Jan. 1989 edition of “The Physic Teacher “under the heading of “New Chemical Element Discovered” his findings of the new element Administratium.
It is with great satisfaction this author’s is able to report significant progress in this field of research. While analyzing Administratium and its toxic residue wherever it was found it was possible to identify an even denser element, named Washingtonium. A small, initially insignificant amount of what was believed to be just another isotope of Washingtonium has now been isolated, and has been found to be the densest element known to science. The new element has been named Hillarium. The chemical symbol of Hillarium is Hl (pronounced Hell).
Hillarium has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons and hangons.
Hillarium’s mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with hangons and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Hillarium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Hillarium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a Critical Morass. When catalyzed with money, Hillarium activates CNNadnausium and MSNBCobnoxium, elements that radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since each has half as many peons but twice as many morons as Hillarium. Hillarium has also been reported in some war torn countries to inexplicably draw sniper fire out of thin air where no snipers are present, and to cause shoes to catapult across the room as a result of intense attraction to Hillarium. Another odd characteristic of Hillarium is that it causes permanent records to be erased.
Since it has no electrons, Hillarium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Hillarium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would have normally occurred in less than a second. Paradoxically, in the presence of anti-morons, Hillarium is highly corrosive. The presence of Hillarium is also easily detected using Gagger Counters. When combined with the deadly slick clintonious virus it serves as a catalyst for creating stains on blue dresses. It is also known for impeding the justice process whenever involved in those reactions.
Hillarium appears to have a normal half-life which inexplicably varies between four and six years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a transmutation, appearing in a new location but displaying the same properties. In this process, assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually increases after each transmutation.
Research at other laboratories indicates that Hillarium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings. Heightened levels of toxicity have been detected in the presence of low information voters. A single spontaneous incidence of mass moron emission from the Hillarium element has been documented. Morons and hangons were suddenly stripped away during the Obala Supernova formation event which, with subsequent isodope formation, collapsed into a particularly small dense black hole.
Scientists point out that Hillarium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction where it is allowed to accumulate. Human mortalities have resulted from exposure to Hillarium. Hillarium threatens to become a pandemic by 2016. Infection symptoms need to be more thoroughly researched, but appear to include a loss of all logical and critical thinking abilities, extensive memory loss related to crucial issues, loss of all consideration for others, onset of paranoia and conspiracy theory predilections (commonly heard are protestations of a “vast right wing conspiracy” and a “War on Women” ), and, of course, the already noted tendency towards fatalities.
Generous use of prophylactic doses of Intense Reality® as soon as possible after possible exposure to Hillarium is a prudent and wise precaution. Large doses of Fiscal and Constitutional Conservatism may be particularly useful. Encourage all your friends and family to take similar precautions, and vote for candidates in 2016 who will work to protect us from the possible scourge of a Hillarium pandemic.
Intense research, going through 30000+ emails indicates the best anti-dote is Palinium. It has the property of total transparency and indestructibility in its crystal clear form, and as such radiates energy, causing morons and hangons to explode.
Another element, Cruzite, shows promise, but all research so far assumes non-Gruberian Statistics. Experimental validation is currently underway in nation-wide trials. Attempts are being made to determine how Hillarium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.
Palinium can only be found in Alaska, and present administration has prohibited most extraction of resources from that state. The best future path for research would be involving Hillarium to come in direct contact with Palinium in the form of exchange of energy in a public forum (to prevent spontaneous combustion of Hillarium). Proper observation of results from such an interaction may lead to Hillarium being controlled, and even eliminated.

_____________________
Q: Would it be possible for you to address shelf life?
A: Research results are inclusive to date. Recent indications suggest that more significant decay may have occurred than generally realized, so future effects are expected to decline..
Q: Are there any know uses for Hillarium? I’ve spent quite some time looking and have yet to find any.
A: No useful or beneficial applications of Hillarium have been discovered to date, although a few researchers are determined to find some and continue trying, as long as funding continues.
Q: What about decay products?
A: There is one known decay product of Hillarium – the daughter product Chelserite. While research on Chelserite is limited, indications suggest highly diluted but otherwise identical properties as Hillarium.
Q: What about Obamadopes?
A: Obamadopes are isomopes of the Obala molecule and should not be confused with Hillarium. While Obamadopes fall adjacent to but just slightly to the left of Hillarium on the period table — thus having somewhat similar properties — they are derivative products of a separate element although the two are often confused by the layman. When Obamadopes first encounter Hillarium, highly competitive reactions may occur. In combination, however, they often exacerbate the detrimental actions of the other, and lead to a highly toxic fallout.
Obamadopes typically form a collective until a Critical Morass is achieved, at which point instability arises and the negatively charged components split resulting in the destruction of the Obamadope itself and everything in the vicinity. This process involves the formation of copious amounts of highly noxious gas in combination with pure Hot Air®. The reaction also produces a massive population of morons with a temperature nearing absolute zero IQ, and the formation of a slimy substance sometimes known as a Biden-Alzheimers condensate.
Thank you very much.

Verse 40 of the Obama impeachment song. China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

Verse 40 of the Obama impeachment song. China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. (As if sung by Obama to the tune of “Please release me, let me go”).

China’s new investment bank;

are our banks about to tank?

U.S. influence just sank.

Oblivion? You have but me to thank.

Item: The Israeli government has submitted its application to become a founding member of a controversial Chinese-led development bank, in a move that is likely to cause consternation in Washington.

Newly re-elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed a letter to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) by the March 31 deadline, according to the country’s foreign ministry.

Israel would become the latest country to join the 40-nation bank, which already includes the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Australia.

“Israel’s membership in the Bank will open opportunities for integration of Israeli companies in various infrastructure projects, which will be financed by the bank,”said an Israeli government statement.

The creation of the Bank, under the vision of Chinese premier Xi Jinping, has attracted criticism from the United States, who has warned their closest allies against courting better relations with Beijing.
