U.S. Unemployment Benefits Receive A Second Look

U.S. President Barack Obama

The Democrats are attempting to push through legislation to extend unemployment benefits to Americans that have lost their jobs. As stated two weeks ago, the Judiciary Report was not amused when people's benefits were stalled, as for 1.3 million people in America, it could mean the difference between staying in their home or apartment or being out on the street.

I understand Republicans are concerned about where the $33.9 billion will come from to cover the costs, but it is of greater priority than other financial initiatives on the table, which need to be scrapped, such as billions for walking and bike riding paths, as is being implemented by President Obama.

I've got news for you, if one does not have a job, one does not wish to go walking, but to stay in one's house or cardboard box and feel sad, as that is the natural human instinct in such a predicament. However, it is best to get up and get out there, go for a walk around one's neighbor hood or to PREEXISTING parks that exist in virtually every U.S. city.

Another major, multi-billion dollar item that can be stricken from the U.S. budget during these hard times, is the massive electronic spying network, invading the privacy off millions of Americans, via the FBI, CIA and NSA.

If the government monitored Americans less and foreign terrorists more, they'd catch a lot more Jihadists and save many billions of dollars. Billions upon billions of taxpayer money is being wasted spying on innocent people, in violation of the U.S. Constitution. If this unruly spending continues, in the future, America government will not be able to afford a federal government.

The Judiciary Report is also still of the belief the site's job creation plan would work. The White House has simply overpaid for jobs that would not pay a third of what the government ended up allocating thereto, in the real world, which indicates bureaucracy and kickbacks ate up a lot of taxpayer money. This is something very vital the government could not afford to get wrong, but astonishingly did. They are attempting to try it again. Here's hoping it turns out better this go round.

Jesus Himself could come down from heaven, hand the government a sheet of paper with detailed instructions on how to fix the U.S. economy and they would still mess it up.

Service Or Disservice

It is an honor for most to serve one's country by working for the government. It is and always has been, considered honorable service, but what happens when a government worker takes a bribe that harms the taxpaying public. It is then that service becomes a disservice to the nation.

Obama Has Lost Sight Of His Goals

President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama has lost sight of the goals and lofty ideals he professed, when he swept to victory and into office a year and a half ago. This abandonment of ethics has greatly damaged his presidency, leaving many bewildered and confounded.

It is always sad when politicians stray from what they initially claim to be their moral code, as in the end, the people suffer when they are not given what they were promised. It's the general wish of all men to have a better life. We are all striving for something better and deserve more than broken promises.

Snooki Slams Obama

President Barack Obama

MTV "Jersey Shore" reality TV star, Snooki, has slammed U.S. President Barack Obama for putting a tax on tanning beds. She said Obama wants everyone to be pale and former Presidential candidate, John McCain would not have done that. McCain agrees with her. Obama's talking smack, because he's already brown (just kidding).

Snooki

What Snooki must understand is the government is broke and looking to raise money anyway it can. Not to mention, tanning beds are cancerous. It's safer to use a gentle tanning product that is applied to the skin to give a brown or golden glow.

Obama Numbers Down Across The Board

According to headlines on the website, Drudge Report, Obama's approval ratings have dropped to 44% and 63% of Americans want his health care law repealed.

Additional reports on the internet from numerous news and government sites, indicate jobless claims also unexpectedly rose again and foreclosures in America remain high.

It is abundantly evident to anyone with commonsense the economy is still in massive trouble and the measures being taken by the government to correct the depression that occurred in 2008 that is ongoing, have failed.

Thrift should have been the order of the day, but the government deciding otherwise, has made the financial crisis exponentially worse. The government has racked up significant debt the American people will have to repay or face further financial uncertainties and a drastic deterioration of the economy.

Obama White House Briefing On Oil Spill

U.S. President Barack Obama

During a press conference held today in Washington, D.C., U.S. President Barack Obama's White House briefed the world on the oil spill in Louisiana, which happened under the watch of BP, Halliburton and Transocean.

Government advisors acting in the capacity of oversight, spoke of what they intend to do to address the problem. A relief well is being assembled by the oil companies, in a bid to skim some of the thousands of gallons of oil per day, gushing from beneath the ocean, thereby diverting it into containment units, such as ships. It's amazing to think a trillion dollars in oil is floating in the Gulf of Mexico.

"Off Label Use" - Part 2

Topamax

6-months ago, the Judiciary Report wrote a series of articles, beginning on November 19, 2009, regarding the "Off Label Use" of the terrible pharmaceutical drug Topamax and its debilitating effects. "Off Label Use" is a term used when drug companies promote their products for uses other than what they were originally intended and approved for by the government.

Topamax is an epilepsy medication, but doctors, under the instruction of pharmaceutical companies, began prescribing it for other medical conditions, such as migraines, thunderclap headaches, depression and as a diet drug, because they were paid to do so. They greedily marketed it as a cure-all drug to cover a wide range of medical ailments, when it is a dangerous pharmaceutical.

6-months later on Friday, May 21, 2010, Johnson & Johnson, the makers of the drug, Topamax, pled guilty to pushing the pharmaceutical drug Topamax for uses other than what it was approved for by the government, using doctors in pay for play schemes, who then prescribed it to their patients under said inducements. They have agreed to pay over $80 million dollars in government fines.

I was speaking from experience when I wrote those articles last year, as I had a stress induced brain hemorrhage and was prescribed Topamax in 2009, for the headaches and head pains I began to experience after the incident, due to ongoing acute emotional distress and harassment.

I resisted taking the medication, a fact that was noted in my medical records more than once, as based on my significant understanding of pharmaceutical drugs, it did not seem like something someone who had experienced the unprecedented type of brain hemorrhage I did, should be prescribed.

However, a female doctor, who was a trainee at the teaching hospital, got upset during a follow up visit they ordered and demanded I take the medication.

Concerned they would discontinue treatment, while I was still very sick from the hemorrhage and angiogram they botched, leaving me with nerve damage in my right leg, I took the Topamax.

Within two days of doing so, I was as sick as a parrot, due to the Topamax. It was worse than the stress induced brain hemorrhage. I developed a condition known as metabolic acidosis, which is the end result of medication creating an environment in the body that promotes acid in the blood, which is horrible. In essence, it is like blood poisoning.

The first signs of it was a very elevated heart rate, which simulated the feeling of having a heart attack and involuntary hyperventilation, which is the lungs trying to blow off the excess carbon dioxide, thanks to the Topamax.

It reached a crescendo on the day before Thanksgiving last year. I fell asleep and one hour later, was awoken by a terrible pain on my right side that was wrapping around from my back to my ribs and depressing my breathing to the point I had stopped taking in oxygen. In short, I was choking to death in my sleep, with a sharp pain on the right side of my back and ribs, constricting to the point, I could barely move.

When I was finally able to move and stand up, I started breathing again, but when I slowly walked over to a mirror, I noticed I was shaking like a leaf, a term known as "tremors" which was created by the Topamax.

I asked my mom to call 911, as I was concerned I would lapse into a coma and die and the pain in the ribcage constricting my breathing, was still there. It literally hurt to breathe. The ambulance took me to the hospital that originally prescribed the Topamax, after the paramedics noticed the tremors.

The hospital did everything they could to limit liability, realizing I was experiencing a very adverse reaction to the Topamax, an epilepsy drug, they had prescribed to me, someone without epilepsy, who was experiencing headaches and head pains (linger effects of the hemorrhage) and nerve pain in my leg (due to the botched angiogram).

Bill Signed To Block Obama Birth Certificate Requests

U.S. President Barack Obama

The U.S. state of Hawaii has passed a bill to ban all requests for access to U.S. President Barack Obama's birth certificate, which has been questioned in many circles, as it has been alleged he was born in Africa, not America, making him ineligible to be the nation's Commander-In-Chief.

With all due respect to Hawaii, this is not transparency in government. Mr. Obama should have produced his original birth certificate to settle legal and social disputes regarding it, rather than the state of Hawaii having to resort to these drastic measures, as they receive 20 requests per week for the document.

Arizona Governor Changes Immigration Law

U.S. President Barack Obama's Department of Justice dropped the ball and the economy is paying a price for it

The Governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, made change changes to the controversial Arizona immigration bill in America, hoping to pacify public outcry, that has gone international, while the Department of Justice, continues to waste time. The amendments only stipulate racial profiling is illegal, but that will not stop some from engaging in it, under the color of law enforcement.

When most people think of immigrants in America, they assume it is in reference to non-white people. Hispanics compose the largest number of immigrants to America and as a result, they will be unfairly targeted, via racial profiling in Arizona.

Numerous people, businesses and the state of California, have threatened a sweeping boycott of Arizona, in light of the inhumane immigration bill that violates the U.S. constitution.

Some of the features of the contemptible bill include, as mentioned previously, racial profiling, which will largely target Hispanics in the state of Arizona, whether they are legal or illegal immigrants, spontaneous searches demanding people produce proof of U.S. citizenship, in violation of the Fourth Amendment and six months incarceration if one is found to be in the United States unlawfully.

All lawmakers in Arizona have managed to do is give the state a bad name on a national and international level as human rights abusers, run up taxpayer tabs, via imprisoning illegal immigrants for 6 months, cut their statewide work force, damaged a number of local businesses relying on cost effective labor and removed massive sums of money from their state's coffers, by unjustly putting hard working illegal immigrants in prison, who were paying their way in America.

If you are an illegal, it is very hard to get benefits and live off the U.S. taxpayers. Therefore, you have to pay your way, feeding, clothing and housing yourself, by shopping at local supermarkets, eating at local restaurants, buying clothes from Arizona businesses and fuel from local gas stations.

That's money, which was going into the Arizona economy, while jobs many Americans do not want to do, such as working in the farming industry (picking produce in the fields all day), construction field (assisting on construction sites and handyman type jobs), the garment industry (sewing clothes several hours a day) and the hospitality and food service industries.

This bill was a terrible, ill-conceived idea that only stands to hurt Arizona and America. In closing, locking someone up for six months, because they were seeking a better life in another country, is appalling.

Obama Meets With Billy Graham

President Barack Obama and Billy Graham

U.S. President Barack Obama met with America's most well-known preacher, the wonderful, Billy Graham, who prayed with him. It is my hope President Obama takes away from the meeting, a renewed respect for human life, as his lift of the stem cell ban was the worst decision he has made in his young presidency.
