Illegals Knock Doors for Democrats

Illegals are in the streets in Seattle, knocking doors for Democratic Senator Patty Murray. We have electioneering in the neighborhoods of America, apparently with election materials in their hands. Their targeted doors are the homes of naturalized citizens.


"Immigrants really do matter" says one door-knocker. "If we can't vote ourselves, we're gonna knock on doors or get family members to vote."
The door-knocker quoted above arrived in the U.S. 13 years ago on a visa and stayed. Her only son was here for awhile but has moved back to Mexico. The same thing is going on in Washington D.C. - 150 volunteers knocking on 3,000 doors.

Lawlessness is no longer creeping, it's walking down the streets of our cities.

Obama at Nationals Park: Ball High - Really High and Outside Video

Barack Obama, fulfilling a 100 years old tradition, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Nationals Park today. Taking the mound wearing a red Washington Nationals jacket, personalized with his name on one shoulder and...you know how the man loves the Presidential Seal..., the seal on the other shoulder, donned a Chicago White Sox cap at the very last minute to the roar of the crowd.

The Washington Posts thinks he "received 90% cheers" as he walked from the dugout. You can hear the crowd in the video below. What do you think?

Susan Powell Buried in Mine? Susan Powell: Mommy is Looking for Crystals in a Cave?

Susan Powell was reported missing by her husband, Josh Powell, on December 7th, 2009. She has not been seen since. Her hubby Joshua Powell hasn't feigned much interest in his missing wife, and police say he is the only person of interest in the case of this missing mother of two small boys. Just minutes ago, Geraldo was on. Attorney Kimberly Guilfoyle was sitting-in for the outrageous Rivera while he is in Afghanistan embedded with our troops. Kimberly mentioned that Susan Powell may have been buried in a mine shaft, and at at some point, one of the little boys told someone that Mommy was searching for crystals in a cave. Updates when available.

Susan Powell

Now, I was only half listening. I could have gotten it wrong. I'm not finding news stories to back this up, but that's not too unusual if this is breaking.

Ms. Powell, 28, was a Wells Fargo stockbroker. She was reported missing after not showing up at work and her children were not dropped off at day care. Her car, purse and cell phone were all found in the couple's West Valley City, Utah home. Josh, 34, said he took his two small sons camping in a desert covered in snow and below-freezing temperatures. He said he last saw his wife at 12:30 a.m. that morning.

Josh Powell

Family and friends say Susan would not have walked out and left her children. Josh has not been involved in searches for his wife and in January he packed his things and moved to Washington state.
Family and friends of missing Utah mother Susan Powell's family say they are floored that her husband is packing up the family's belonging and preparing to move out state while ducking questions from police and the public....
We'd like to see him here helping out with Susan's search," Joshual Powell's brother-in-law, Kirk Graves, said, "But he's not."
Kirk Graves is married to Josh's sister, Jennifer.

Josh Powell rented a car the day after his wife disappeared, while police had his minivan in their custody. He allegedly put "hundreds of miles on it," but refuses to say where he went and...the Duces Wild Strip club say he was in the club on the very day Susan vanished:
A bartender, a bounce, and a club regular all say they saw him that day. He arrived on the afternoon of December 7 and was acting like and a**hole, complaining loudly about the bad day he was having. "He was belligerent to the other patrons and the girls at the bar," a worker told ABC-4. "He just kept saying over and over, "I've had a really bad day' and I've got a story to tell," but refused to elaborate.
Some of Susan's friends say she was planning to leave her husband. She reportedly set up her own bank account and prepared a will. After "fasting and praying," Susan decided to stay, and friends thought the marriage had improved.

Since this blog is basically a political blog, it is interesting to note that Joshua Powell's brother, Michael Powell was a national delegate for Barack Obama, and Michael ran on the Democrat ticket for a seat in the Washington State House of Representatives in fall 2009 and lost.

Powell's father, Steven Powell, lives just outside of Puyallup, Washington in a gated community. Susan's parents also live in Puyallup.

So about the mine story and the crystals and the children, there is a lot of talk around the Internet - just chat, about the mines in the area. What grabbed me tonight was hearing Guilfoyle say one of the children said mommy was searching for crystals. I'll update when information is available. Read about the desolate campground Powell says he took his children to on the frigidly-cold morning that Susan Powell disappeared.

Walgreens Refuses New Medicaid Patients April 16th

Walgreen's drugstores in the state of Washington will refuse all new Medicaid patients beginning April 16th. Welcome to ObamaKare.

It's not difficult to understand why Walgreens would make this decision. Washington State reimburses pharmacies less than the cost of their participation. This takes 121 Walgreens stores in the state out of the program.

Bartell Drugs in Washington State began refusing new Medicaid patients in all 57 stores in February. Ritzville Drug Company withdrew from the Medicaid program in November 2009.

This is how government does business:

Washington was reimbursing pharmacies 86% of a drug's average wholesale price until July, when it began paying them just 84%...that move was expected to save the state about $10 million.
Walgreens and others can suck-it-up, apparently.

Here's comforting news: No worries, the Washington State Medicaid director said patients should be able to find other drugstores to fill their medications. Feel better now?

Olbermann Inhofe Family Worst Family in World: Igloo Frosts Critics

No one draws attention to the mean spirit of liberalism better than Keith Olbermann. He has named Senator Jim Inhofe's daughter's family, including their 4 children, "the worst family in the world." We could say their igloo really frosted critics.

Molly Rapert, Jim Inhofe's daughter, her husband, Jimmy Rapert and their children were stranded in Washington, D.C. during the snow storm. On a bright and sunny day, they went outside and built a igloo - a big one.

Comments came from cars passing by: "Where's global warming when you need it? Jase Rapert, 14, thought a sign saying "Al Gore's New Home," would be appropriate. Then came "Honk if you heart global warming."

The story and the photos were everywhere. The Senator didn't know about the igloo until after it was done - but honestly, who cares if he built it and signed it. That would be even funnier.

Olbermann, 51, isn't exactly one to talk about what makes a great family. He has never married and has no children. No wonder is he is a crank-extraordinaire, but what a relief - no worries about his offspring. He has reportedly lived with Katy Tur since mid-2006. Now, in the second video below, you'll see Katy Tur, 25, dancing.Tur joined the Weather Channel in May 2009:
Olbermann denied any speculation that he assisted Tur in getting the Weather Channel gig, telling TV Newser that Tur was hired based on talent alone.
Olbermann signed off the video by calling Grandpa Inhofe a "cheesy politician."

Seattle Teen Beaten - Security Guards Watch Video

A fight in a Seattle bus tunnel shows a girl beaten, on the ground, with her face stomped seven times. Three security guards stand and do nothing. America gets sadder every day.

Update 2-11-10:
A 15 year-old girl was arrested for this crime, and also for robbing another girl in the bus tunnel. She appeared before a judge today and pleaded not guilty. There is no information on bail or the possibility of bail. If she is convicted, she can spend up to two years in detention.

The same night, 3 "young men" were arrested also arrested, and it appears for the same incident with the girl. They are facing robbery charges and are charged as adults.
