Patriot's Day 2013

It's really hard to think about how much time has passed and how little has been done at Ground Zero. The first towers took 7 years to build, and somehow twelve years later the new ONE (stupid freedom tower) is not done yet. I look back at the footage from that day and am incensed by how much we (as a Country) have forgotten. Last year I mentioned religionofpeace.com  which is keeping a running count of all deaths, over twenty one thousand, related to islamic terror since 9/11/01.

Now with all the turmoil in Egypt, Libya and Syria, more than ever we need a reminder about who the enemy are. Let me be clear islamic terrorist come in all shapes and sizes, whether it be a single nut like the Ft. Hood massacre, a coordinated group like the 9/11 hijackers, a "political group like the muslame brotherhoods or the religious extremist that make up the entire govt of Iran, we have much to fear.

Syria for example is a civil war between different parties of the same nuts. Syrian president Basher Assad is an islamic nut who has been slaughtering his own people by the thousands, but the "rebels" who are trying to topple his govt are also islamic nuts who have relationships with al qieda and the mulame brotherhoods. Both sides curse America and Israel on a regular basis and we cannot support any of them. This civil war will have to play out and then we will have to deal with the victors.

I leave you with footage from 9/11/01, as a reminder that we have an enemy that hates us and until we are all dead or enslaved, will continue to fight us by any means. We have to keep fighting back, they will not be placated with gifts like the north korean yahoos, they have to stood up to and fought at all cost, AT ALL COST, I cant make that part clear enough.

One Day Later

Yesterday on the anniversary of 9/11, I warned you about the constant hate in the muslim world. Mere minutes after I submitted that post I started getting tweets about Egyptians storming our embassy in Cairo. Muslims burned our flag and shouted "There are a billion of us Obama, we are all Osama". This is a clue that the stupid muhammad movie has nothing to do with this. This was a coordinated attack on the anniversary of the biggest victory any enemy has ever had against the United States. An attack that started in a country Obama handed to the muslim brotherhood after an "arab spring" that was a peaceful uprising for the first 20 minutes. Twenty minutes after that I knew it was just a matter of time before Egypt was a islamic republic. 

A few hours after the embassy attack in Egypt, it happened again in Benghazi Libya. Except the embassy in Egypt had a heads up on the attack and was cleared out before the violence started. The embassy in Benghazi was not so lucky. The also recently "freed from the tyranny of Qaddafi" Libyans stormed our embassy, burned it down and murdered Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his staff. I opted yesterday not to show you graphic photos, but its a new day and maybe you didn't get everything I was trying to tell you yesterday. 

That is the body of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, being desecrated by islamist who murdered him and dragged his body through the streets for 12 hours. Yes it took 12 hours to recover his body. Now my heart goes out to his family and I am sure they don't want to see their husband, father, son, uncle or brother like this. But you need to. You need to see what we are up against. This is not some council of Christian parents writing letters to Nickelodeon because Jason Biggs is an animal who doesn't belong on children's television. This is a group if islamist who are working right out of their holy text to "smite infidels at their necks." While Stevens was suffocated to death, many others have been beheaded by dull knives while they are still alive. I watched Daniel Pearl die, no one should ever have to go like that. 

We have to wise up and stop this. The apology issued by the embassy in Egypt that was released before any violence had taken place is just another notch in the belt of the islamist that are out to see us destroyed. This muhammad movie was screened one time in Los Angeles months ago, the "Israeli Jew" that made it Sam Bacile doesn't exist. Looks like now the movie was funded by "evangelics and copts". The real question is who gave it to the Egyptians and why?  The more of this whole situation that comes into the light the worse it looks. Well planned, coordinated and probably funded by the muslim brotherhood. We have to show them we are not a "paper tiger" and we will fight. Since we know Obama has no interest if this fight he needs to go. Do I know exactly what Mitt Romney will do? No, but I do know what Obama will do, nothing. He will let Iran have nuclear weapons, he will let the muslim brotherhood take over nations that were once considered allies, he will leave our border porous and open to any kind of illegal activity you can dream of. Former Admiral Mike Mullen has said that "our national debt is the biggest threat to national security", and that was trillions of dollars ago.

This election is shaping up to be one of the most important of our time, but don't take my word on it. Look at the facts, unemployment, the national debt, the US credit rating, the border, taxes, foreign policy! We can't afford continue absorbing this kind of damage to our country. In 53 days we either take back our nation or we give it away. You Decide!

Patriot's Day 2012

People were jumping from the highest floors of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Rather than burn to death, they chose a few fleeting seconds of terror. I decided I was not going to post the video of the people jumping, but I did want to remind you. Remind you of a crime perpetrated on America by evil hate filled muslims that to this day still want our Freedom to cease. They still hate us (and Israel) more than they love their children. They still fire rockets into quiet neighborhoods, blow themselves up on buses, set off IEDs as our troops drive by and are still trying to build a nuclear weapon in Iran. Patriot's Day is not a day of service, its a day of recognition, to recognize not only the bravery of our First Responders and Soldiers, but to recognize that there is great evil in the world and very few with the fortitude to kill it.

There is a website called The Religion of Peace that has kept track of (almost) every attack by muslims since 9/11. There they keep a running tally of all the deadly attacks, 19,582 of them to be exact. Every one of those represents at least one life taken, but many are several up to hundreds. We cannot let ourselves be lulled into a feeling of safety. Just because our Military has done an AMAZING job of keeping the jihadist off our shores doesn't mean they are not trying. We have to have constant vigilance, they just have to get lucky. In the gritty but amazing film Act of Valor we see how with some cooperation between jihadis and Mexican cartels there can be terror right on out doorstep. Since the federal government has made no effort to fix the border, the "Act of Valor" scenario is very possible. The other target is Israel, the last bastion of freedom and sanity in the region. If the Iranians are successful in finishing their nuclear weapon the first target will no doubt be our only ally in the Middle East. We already let one Holocaust happen by ignoring evil, are we really willing to see history repeat itself?  

Maybe I sound angry, WELL I AM! You should be too, you should never forget the anger that burned in you as you realized with the rest of America that we were being attacked on 9/11/01. Never forget the rage as you watched the muslims dancing in the streets of some middle east wasteland celebrating our darkest moment and never forget the 3000+ men, women and children whose lives were torn from them in the most violent way. Let that anger bubble up inside you and remember September 11, 2001 the day cowards slashed the throats of flight attendants with box cutters and forced their way into cockpits (that were not locked, reinforced doors cause they didn't have to be) and crashed planes into the symbols of freedom in our Great Country.

10

As I reflect on 9/11/2001, many many things come to mind. Frustration over the site itself, the insignificant structures being built and the despicable mayor bloomberg that didn't allow clergy to the memorial or make enough space for all the First Responders. The lack of heart in the hijackers and their backward religion, if you love death there is no place for you in this world. Sorrow for the lost, the innocent who were just going about their day on a beautiful September morning. Most of all Pride, pride in the Firefighters and Police Officers who went well above and beyond to save people and ultimately sacrifice their own lives. Pride in our Soldiers who for 10 years have tirelessly fought and died so this atrocity would never be repeated, and pride in the People of America who despite a weak leader are standing strong in their values and beliefs. 


This is and will always be a solemn day of remeberance, not of service like Obama would like you to believe, but a day to remember the fallen and the survivors. Most importantly so we never forget and never let it happen again.

I snapped this shot in 1997 from a subway train, it just seemed perfect.

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.

O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward. - Psalm 5

We Got Him

By now you have all probably heard that the U.S. military killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. I just wanted to give my 2 cents real quick.


It's being reported that some of the intel (if not all) on OBL's location came from detainees at Gitmo. While I give President Obama credit for giving the order to get OBL if he had closed gitmo like he said "On my first day in office" we wouldn't have got the information. 


This has been a long time coming, too long, but as the world takes a sigh of relief we have to remember that OBL was just one of potentially millions of muslims that hate the US and want to see her fall. We have to stay vigilant and keep fighting. 

 The picture above is a great shot of the FDNY celabrating the news of OBL's trip to hell. The picture below is a tribute to the guys that put him there! God Bless America, the US Military and tonight especially the Navy SEALs!

And Crown Thy Good

We live in a great Country, I know this, you know this ( I hope). Often you hear in the MSM that we are spoiled, or arrogant, or even some kind of imperialist. But it's not that we aren't aware of what's happening in the rest of the world. We chose to be better, I know it's not PC to call ourselves better, but it is simple truth. Our Founding Fathers saw the world and wanted better. They built a free nation on a foundation of God. 235 years later we are the reigning super power (if Obama doesn't break us), we are looking to keep that position for a long time.


We have to be doing something right, to come as far as we did as fast as we did. The greatness of this Country is due to God and us, we represent the best of humanity. Sure we've had some dark moments and we have plenty of nuts, 25% of us think we had a hand in the tragedy of 9/11. The fact that we allow those nuts to have their crazy ideas just shows what a strong will we have. We don't have to root out the crazies, we embrace them. We have God given rights and rights established by men to guarantee our freedoms. The majority of us are good honest people who see the American dream and want to make it our own. Holding ourselves to a higher standard that started with the Ten Commandments and grew into a Constitution that in a few pages summed up our entire way of life.


Now our way of life is being threatened by terrorism, socialism and a few more 'isms. We have seen what evil and jealousy can do and we have to remember what Simon Wiesenthal said "Freedom is not a gift from heaven... You must fight for it everyday." Does this mean we have to take up arms? For some yes, another great thing about us is our military, an all volunteer fighting force that is unmatched across the globe. For the rest of us it means living the way God commands, voting wisely and electing the right people to run our government. Raising our children to observe the same values and take responsibility for their actions. 


Again I think about Glenn Beck's 9-12 project and I can't help but think this is our only real hope. It simply best states what we need to do as a Nation to maintain our strength and survive the coming insurrection.

The 9 Principles

1. America Is Good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
   God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
   Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
   Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
   Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
   Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
   Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
   On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
   Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson

Another Year Gone By...

Yeah I know I have been disregarding my blogging duties, but the new year brings new life to The Expert's Blog. Twenty ten was was an ill fitting cap to a turbulent decade. This time last decade we were worried about the millennium bug, Ten years later and we wish it was something so trivial. We started 2001 upbeat and refreshed, but we're quickly reminded of the insanity of the world on 9-11. To call the following years a roller coaster would be an understatement. We all wish it could be 9-10-2001 again, but the illusion is gone and dare I say we are in for a tougher decade.


The sharp turn toward socialism in America brought on by the Pelosi/Obama agendas will not fade into the night. We will have to fight to regain every inch of ground lost to the last four years of democrat change, yes four, Bush's last two years gave new meaning to the term "lame duck". Bush lost all will to fight the coming wave of liberalism and folded in every way. Giving up on social security reform, winning the two wars we were deep into and forcing banks, businesses and people to take responsibility for their actions by way of bail-outs and stimulus packages. Obama, who promised change followed with more of the same, ignoring social security, essentially throwing in the towel on Iraq and doing the least possible in Afghanistan, and of course issuing more stimuli and bail-outs. The out of control spending has dug us into a hole our grandchildren's grandchildren will be stuck with the bill for. See for yourself! 


All hope is not lost, we can still recover from this mess and come out a better people. But it is going to be hard, there will have to be sacrifices from everyone. Take my state California, we are going to have to go bankrupt. California is not to big to fail, taking a federal bail-out will only prolong the problems. Times will be tough, but the re-organizing that bankruptcy allows is exactly what California needs. Schwarzenegger talked big and I was one of the many who fell for his tall talk on Gray Davis and ending the spending. But instead of terminating, Arnold went on a spending spree, taxing and spending California into oblivion, and that's where we are. Unfortunately this is not the bottom, things will have to get tougher before they get better and California will be ground zero for the coming strife.


It doesn't matter which way we go, left or right, we are gonna have to tighten our belts. The difference is whether we let socialism squeeze us down to nothing or after a time of hardship we reemerge stronger and smarter. We need only to look at history to see our future. We are following the same path as ancient Rome and if we don't change course we will suffer the same fate. Do some homework, read up on Rome, particularly Cicero





He is consider one of the greatest orators of his time and he warned Rome of it's impending doom and was ignored. I am no Cicero, I don't claim that kind of ability or talent, but I can see the correlation between us and Rome and don't want to end up another failed nation doomed to see it's glory forgotten by history.


Forget about 9/10, we will never be able to get that back, remember 9/12, it's our only chance. Glenn Beck put these in his "Common Sense" book and I just keep thinking they are the right way to go.

Things That Make You Go BOOM!

Woke up this morning to a string of bomb threats around the planet. It seems there is some kind of semi dry run of bombs in the mail happening out of Yemen. From now only one actually explosive device has been confirmed with one other possibility and at least one dummy device found in Dubai on a plane from Yemen. One flight headed to NY's JFK airport was actually escorted by fighter jets to it's destination. That must be fun to see out the plane window... Look mommy jets! Thank God nothing actually exploded... Today.


This was a good reminder that we can't let our guard down. The President spoke today and said  "We must remain vigilant against terror", of course it's his Administration that has taken the word "terrorist" out of official use. But he is right, by leaving Iraq unstable, giving a timeline for leaving Afghanistan, and declaring Al Qaeda is "no longer a threat to the US",  they are going to work extra hard to show us that we are still a target. Today's events might just be the beginning. 




As the 9/11 anniversary rapidly comes to the ten year mark, we have to remember they started this fight and we have to be one to finish it!

9 Years Later

So 9 years later as the anniversary of Sept 11 approaches again I find myself just as angry as I was on 9/12/01. I watched exactly 7 minutes of "Giuliani's 9/11", an interview style recount of the day from Rudy himself, I had to shut it off because I was so angry we let this happen.

To make matters worse 9 years later Ground Zero is still a pit, and the Flight 93 Memorial is looking to be crescent shaped and facing Mecca. How are we so buried in bureaucratic slime can we not have rebuilt the Twin Towers. The "Freedom" tower is just the opposite, it is the we are scared masses who want to be enslaved tower. Is America never going to reach for the sky again just because some muslim whack jobs caught us off guard? 9 years later there is still hope; http://www.twintowersalliance.com/ is working on stopping the Freedumb tower and restoring the NY skyline to it's proper glory. The original Twins took 7 years to build, but with modern technology and state of the art materials the new Twin Towers could be standing in 3 years. Stronger then before, and smarter as well.

I know I have written about this before, probably around this time in previous years. We can't change the past, but we can make the future right, we can give our posterity the same beautiful gift we had for the 30+ years the WTC stood as a beacon on a hill so the world could look to us for strength, stability and safety. 9 years later we find ourselves in the midst of a deep recession,  a President who doesn't have our best interest at heart and turns his back on our trusted allies while he bows to dictators and kings. 9 years later America stands divided, some that want to stand by our Constitution and rely on the wisdom of God and our Founding Fathers, then others who would take us down the path of socialism and an overgrown government that taxes us mercilessly, controls our lives form our doctors to our air conditioners to our light bulbs. 9 years later the war is still raging and our Troops have their hands tied by lawyers that watch their every move and tell them when they fire their guns. 9 years later we again have the chance to make things right we have 9 values and 12 priciples we can hold to, in order to have a rebirth of what the Founding Fathers intended for us;

The Nine Principles

1. America is good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

1-Honesty 3-Hope 4-Thrift 5-Humility 6-Charity 7-Sincerity

2-Reverence 8-Moderation 9-Hard Work 10-Courage 11-Personal Responsibility 12-Gratitude

Let's take a stand, let's make this year better than the last. Relight the fires in our souls and show the world that 10 Years Later American is back, and we will not be bullied by enemies foreign or domestic. 10 years later we have the bases of two new towers rising from the ashes. 10 years later the people of America are united behind God and the Forefathers who in 8 pages laid out our government, a government of the people by the people for the people!

P.S. You can find the 9-12 ideas and mony other great ones in Common Sense;

Say Cheese!

So there it is, what it looks like when you are subjected to a full body scanner. I am conflicted on using them in the US. Safety should come first and other than swallowing the explosives this looks like a pretty good way to see what a person is packing (no pun intended). In this troubled time we live in you got to give to get. Of course how much are people willing to give?

In a post 9/11 world we have put up with many many extra hours standing in airports, been deprived of our toothpaste and most would say it is worth it to be safe. But the crotch bomber of X-mas '09 showed us it's not enough. So is the next step parading naked in front of some barely high school diploma holding TSA agent. Plus is this just dumbing down the job? I once saw a cash register at a Taco Bell in Huntington Beach, CA with pictures on the buttons. So they had dumbed the job down to you ordering a taco and the kid behind the counter pressing a picture of a taco! Same principle applies here, will the scan make the TSA lazy? The crotch bomber got on the plane not only with his explodable panties but a syringe full of the acid he needed to make his explosive cocktail. Add to that the religious people that would find it demeaning to have some looking at them and or their spouses exposed. Not that I care about offending people so much as their response. Jews and the like would take it on the shoulder and move on but we all know how butt hurt muslims get and well that's why we're in this mess in the first place. I also saw an interview with a former head honcho from EL AL (Israeli airline) who has a pretty good record of zero attacks in the last 30+ years. He said we don't need scanners we need to profile, racially and any other way we can. But we are too worried about offending someone, by profiling them, not looking at them naked!

What have we learned?

In the twenty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall it seems the main thing we have learned is how to revise history. I watched whole segments on CNN and read about NBC not making any mention of Ronald Reagan. Instead Angela Merkel is thanking and crowds chanting Gorbi, Gorbi. And where was Obama during this grand celebration? Good question, probably hiding from Reagan's shadow. In the last 19 years the US President has always been at these events. But Comrade Obama hides at home like the little girl he is. He sent Hillary, ironic huh? Not even the O loving dino media was happy about this. What have we learned?

The attack in Ft. Hood Tx. was the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11, a muslim soldier dressed in traditional robes gave away his valuables, spent some time in a strip club and then slaughtered a dozen innocents. Wounding dozens more in the process, all while chanting Allahu Akbar (glory to god). But this should not have been a surprise, this man was under FBI surveillance for six months prior to this attack and no one did anything about it. After learning about the atrocity, Obama kept his scheduled speech and after a shout out to Chief Running Spring Obama told us not to jump to conclusions on why this nut bar did what he did. We were warned against seeking revenge on muslim citizens and all the usual dribble. Response from media and military is to bury the story call it a freak event and move on. I thought when Obama became President the world was supposed to love us? How's that hope and change working out for you? What have we learned?

If those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, we are in a lot of trouble. History is stained with blood and violence. If we don't look back at what happened and start fixing things we will see history come around and bite us in the ass. Between Russia and China falling to communism you can tick off over 100,000,000 lives! Ignoring the evil of the nazis led to another 20,000,000 lives lost. Yet the U.S. itself is on the slippery slope to communism and we are ignoring the evils or radical islam. So I ask you; WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
