Thank You Donald Trump

Now that we have seen the birth certificate can we move ahead. Obama is not a leader and can not manage. Of course he could have ended this long ago, but why should we expect logic from the clueless Barry O.

That being said it is very odd that the word African was used in 1961. In other certificates from the time period the word Negro was typically used in that time period. The mere fact that there is an anomaly does not infer that there is fraud.

Beware of web document experts with imagined expertise. An actual determination may only be done from an original by experts at the lab.

Family

I am easy going as it is too much effort to get excited. I did assist some family members with a unique situation. The problem has since been resolved and not one word of thanks frpm the person we helped. Iam unpeterbed by the Tranquil Sea is livid.

The Sprite does not let me sleep. I am grouchy after four days of no sleep.

Butterfly Exhibit

I went with my daughter to the butterfly exhibit at the Museum of Natural History.
I have been to these things at least twice and the novelty has worn off. The Museum was mobbed and traveling with a seven year old is a series of bathroom breaks. The food at the Museum was actually good.

We went from there to Ben's Best Deli on 38th. The food is always excellent there and my daughter can use the facilities there without issue. I would like to have had a plate of kreplach but having a Hindu kid has a few minor issues.

Packages to Guyana

In addition to whatever help I can send I provide some entertaining gifts for the girlfriend's family. I sent over a 1963 Impalla model with a paint kit for the family. I also sent some Little Girls Disney Princess coloring books for a seven year old girl.

I am always looking for unusual items foe the family.

Packages to Guyana

The Shutdown

I have mixed emotions about a government shutdown. In the event of a shutdown I likely will enjoy a short vacation. It is quite confusing how my agency which is fee driven is
supposed to be shut down.

Having not worked for government I would point out the excesses of unionism. However having been on the front lines cronyism and mediocrity of unaccountable management is a serious issue.

Bottom line is the unholy cabal of soft labor deals and limitless entitlements is over.
Those on the responsible left grasp this and folks like the Duck need to be sent to Hugo's crack den.

Being Dad

I have not been blogging much and have been spending more time at home with my daughter and beloved Maltese. The little guy grows on you after a while and is very
fun to hang out with.

Work has gotten better as the winds have fate have been kind to me. Those that have made my life difficult were moved or reduced in rank.

I do not see things getting better in the USA. Those who are out of work are growing more despondent. We can not move forward until entitlements and job creation are addressed.

Last Gasp before Death

There was yet another loud protest by unions and their Marxist stooge parasite corner in NYC yesterday.We are in an era of tighter budgets. The age of unionism draws to a close. Everyone has to tighten their belts.

We are seeing the last gasp of a movement that failed to adapt to the present.

Passing of a Queen

I went to the funeral of a former boss.Whatever happened to me took place after her duties were altered. She was the rare boss who was loved by the public, workers and attorneys. She knew the law beeter than you and used common sense and heart. Many a person was touch by an angel with a kindness and modesty.

Our work is governed by a series of laws and what we can tell fellow officers is governed by the Privacy Act. The general principle is "needs to know". An officer asked me to explain some issues on a case that had been unresolved for 18 years. I was reluctant to provide context because it touched on deeply personal aspects of the person's private life. Our angel smiled at me and said you know the right thing to do and expedite bringing the file home 18 years is too long. I conveyed the information and the case was approved in two hours and on its way to NYC. The thing that made our angel special was she hated those who are BS artists or Proceduralists.
The procedure should never be more important than serving the public.

I was lucky to have worked with such a magnificent person. I count her amongst the most memorable influences in my career.

I will miss her greatly as will many others.

Thank You Daily News

In the early days of this blog we had an unusually stupid far left gay Dane living in the UK lecturing people about the USA, Israel and so forth. One comedic rant was about the numbers of gays killed in NYC exceeded the total murders in London. This was shown to be worthy of comedy central. Especially comedic were his odd claims that the PA was gay friendly based upon his travels when in fact gay Pseudostinians flee to Israel regularly. There were strange claims that all the gays executed in Iran were guilty of something else. Justin had some fun with his series of comedic rants about justice in China vs the USA.

The Daily News reported that gays are fleeing Jamaica to come to NYC. This is a fact that anyone who works in the immigration field in NYC would be aware of. The cliche left would have one think that Jamaica is fine based upon trips to posh resorts where the locals are segregated in a manner that is reminiscent of a plantation punctuated by trips to markets where corrupt police are all over the place. There is some scary hatred of gays in the West Indies and in Africa. The odd claim that it is religious conservatism is pure hot air. The governments of Jamaica have been on the left and have not done much.

We will all be in a better place when we adopt the Beakerkin "who cares" attitude.
Baseless prejudice against anyone for an entirely private matter is wrong. That being said the rants of people being victims of AIDS is a bit much. AIDS is a tragic
situation but then again so is cancer and heart disease and so forth. The same people that have zero sympathy for smokers who develop health problems will wax on about the noble virtues of AIDS patients.

Lets show everyone who is ill respect without the moral rants.

Protests are good except when the Tea Party does it non violently

The usual self righteous lefties are quick to point to every fringe racist in the almost entirely peaceful Tea Party protests. A person allegedly uses the N word surrounded by tons of cameras that can not corroberate ther story and Barney Frank is called a gay slur and the media is in over drive.

As noted before the leftists marches are Marxist led and frequently violent. Of course the self righteous fools on the left even the responsible folks at Harry's Place are quick to point out they share the goals but are upset by manipulation of a mass movement.

Lets also not pretend Khadafy and Assad are anything other than Marxist hack governments. When Syria kills or Hamas kills fellow Psuedostinians the left yawns.

Farakhan Sells Out Obama and Blacks Over the Dollar

Screwy Louie is at it again. One really should not expect much from a loon whose brain has spent a lifetime in neutral. However, his latest rant at Obama on behalf of his friend Khadafy who he tried to seek cash from is low even by his nadir standards. Then again while Arabs were butchering and enslaving Blacks in Sudan, he was ranting about Jews as usual.

The Obama administration should find out if he has acquired any money from the Libyan madman and declare Farakhan an enemy agent. A nice investigation into the finances of Screwy Louie who should not be confused with the benign nephews of Donald Duck is warranted.

The claim that the bigotry of Farakhan and Pastor Wright is somehow acceptable because it addresses Black self help or has Marxist undertones in the case of Wright is in error. No doubt there are those who make similar idiotic claims about folks like Amren or the KKK. Neither group is socially acceptable.

Off to spend a weekend with my beloved family. I celebrated Phagua last week and found myself covered in dyes. My daughter in law is due to give birth any day now.
The daughter in law is the most functional of the adult relatives.

The Lybian Mess

Obama seems to finally have done something with Hillary leading the charge. The problem is as he is hostage to the idiotic world views of imbeciles like his mentor
Frank Davis we can expect no plan. The notion that a military action led by the UK or France is somehow more acceptable to the Arabs and the demented left is failed logic. While we certainly want to see the crazy Col. leave, his good friend Hugo is guuilty of similar crimes and should be next.

The big domino is Syria and if that goes the Assad family will be brutal. The Alawite clique knows that they will be massacred in any revolution and they will fight much harder and with more disregard for the public than the goofy Col.

Maybe if we offer the Crazy Col a set of KFC franchises he will step down. Khadafy Fried Chicken does have a nice ring.

Attending to family

My mother is out of the hospital and is home. The surgery went better than expected.

Mess in the Globe

My sympathies go out to the people of Japan. No doubt many people have suffered from
the terrible tragedy. The people of Japan will rebuild and flourish because they are a normal society run by responsible adults. It will take for longer for the Cuban people to overcome the ineptitude of Castro than the disaster in Japan.

Once again the Pseudostinians by their behavior show why they are not fit for self rule. It would be wrong to blame an entire people for the actions of a depraved killer.Such tragedies do take place in the USA. However, one does not see people handing out sweets after such a wantonly crime against human nature. The reality is most of us do not have the capacity to stab young children to death. This is because most of us by nature of our common humanity are programmed to protect children. The actions of these terrorists once again shows how radical Islam and Communism violate human nature. Of course the Duck will pretend that commies killing Kulaks or whomever is just an aberration that just happens again and again.

How does one make peace with a group that condones these types of acts?

My mother's operation is this week. I have placed in a blanket sick leave for the next ten days. I do not intend to miss any time, but the paperwork was filed as a precaution in case the need should arise.

Day out with the Maltese

My daughter and I took the Maltese to the dog run in Union Square. The dog did not want to stay in the dog carier. He jumped out when I made a small space for his head. He trembled with fear as the train took him to Manhattan.

The dog runs are used by locals who have small apartments and big dogs. Rex as a Malttese was smaller than the rest and mostly played with one or two dogs. He didn't want to leave. Finally when I got the leash on him he enjoyed his first trip to Manhattan. He was relaxed going home and I kept him on a short leash on the train.
He fell asleep until his friend Prince the Maltese visited.

I will try and visit Forrest Park. The area is dense woods and it will be his first trip into such an environment.

We send our deepest sympathies to the people of Japan. They lead the world in eartquake technology, but floods are a tough problem.

Taking my Little Buddy to the Dig Run

The little Maltese loves to play so I am taking him to the dog run. Dogs of all sizes and breeds run there. He seems to enjoy playtime with other dogs,

Rango

What started out as a trip tom the bookstore in Forrest Hills ended up as a trip to
the movies. My daughter derailed the trip with well timed whining. The movie was fairly good especially if you are a fan of Sergio Leone. The "Spirit of the West" was
the man with no name.

Watching a film with your daughter is an experience that overcomes an average offering with the exception of the Spirit of the West scene.

I was going to do an emergency trip to Guyana. Unfortunately, my mothers surgery takes priority. I did send some odd items to Guyana electronics, oatmeal soap, surf music, classic horror comics and cash. Hopefully, my instructions will help and get the job done. Just going to thecapital for 72 hours is not an option.

Second G uessing the Ft Hood Events

The Senate has issued a report about the Ft Hood shooter and has recommended action.
The truth is that all of this is Monday Morning QB material. The governments training
material and fear of being labeled a bigot prevented any action from being taken.

All of us should respect the rights of others to freely practice their faith so long as it does not cross the line into criminal activity. Now many of us disagree on various points, but all should respect our traditions of nonviolent political activity.

Part of me ponders what the reaction of the same people in the case would have been like had this been a misguided Christian who advocated bombing abortion clinics in College. The likely response would be a mental health referral as there is zero fear of being labeled a bigot. No doubt if this was Bill Ayers redux, there would be an army of apologists and accusations of witch hunts. Communists unlike witches are real and have an unparalleled history of crime.

The reality is Farouk in the next cube should be given the same scrutiny that one gives any other coworker. In this day and age with workplace violence and workplace bullying these are real dangers. Everyone workplace is political where cliques and slings and arrows occur. In reality there are just some workers who appear creepy. many of these people require mental health treatments and or meds, but are harmless otherwise.

Warning signs that you should be on alert for.

1) A person giving away his possessions without cause. If Leonard is in the next office is retiring or changing jobs this is no cause for concern. If Hilda starts giving away her office supplies take a second look.

2) Excessive humor about death. An occasional joke about death is not an issue. All of us have made those at times. I pondered if listening to my step daughters dreadful tastes in music is worse than an eternity in a pine box. Given the vile sounds produced by the spawn of Will Smith this is a running theme. Sadly, I can not listen to Surf Music in another room as my step daughter has separation issues.

3) Politics on the extreme edges. Vic is a Marxist and is a bore. If he starts talking about revolution at work let HR deal with it. If anyone starts rationalizing criminality like violence against a group such as Detroit Lion fans call HR. Do not go to a supervisor who is usually not trained to deal with such matters. Do not argue with the person. Merely, excuse yourself and walk away.

4) A supervisor who goes beyond normal managerial tyranny. Zelda you screwed up this report is normal. Going into daily threats of termination, public humiliation and personal rants on a regular basis is also cause for a trip to HR. If this person has personal issues it does not excuse this type of behavior. Long term bullied people can explode in many ways and people witnessing it are bothered by the hostile work atmosphere. There is nothing wrong with a demanding boss, demanding and demeaning are different and should not be confused.

These new work place challenges need skilled professionals in HR. Sadly, many of the best are few and far between.

The Real Union Mess

The real battle is over the governments ability to make deductions from the paycheck in order to fund unions. I grasp the potential for reducing union ranks with this idea.

Much of the furor at government unions has some merit. Unions in many cases protect egregious misconduct. Workers can and do make errors and should be held accountable. In many cases the unions have merely become an adjunct of the far left democratic party. In an era where all need to tighten their belts unions must do their share.

The truth is that despite media claims, management can be brutal. Workers do get bullied and harassed and more times than one would suspect it is due to an arbitrary personal grudge. False charges, failure to abide by government rules and creating a hostile work environment are common.

The unions have done a lousy job presenting this to the public. They need to show that work place bullying is a serious issue that can happen to anyone.
