It is extremely unsettling to watch as the Obama administration worries more about further destabilizing the Middle East than securing our own border. As we send more troops oversees to risk their lives in causes that Obama will not defend, our homeland is in the process of being invaded.
This invasion is far more than just in human trafficking. It comes on multiple fronts and attacks multiple facets of the American society. First and foremost, it hits us economically. As many illegals will now receive government subsidies such as medical care, food stamps, education and other handouts, the legal American citizen will be left footing the bill. Plus, as they are shipped without warning across the country, many small towns cannot finally accommodate the financial strain the caused by the influx of these law-breaking immigrants. Remember, the federal government is 18 trillion dollars in debt, the percentage of American s at work is at an all-time low since 1978 and the need for government subsidies grows exponentially by the day.
Secondly, the invasion hits America medically. Diseases and conditions such as scabies, TB, and measles among others are now being reintroduced across the country. Because public transportation is being used to transport these illegals, who knows what one might be exposed to on a bus or train. Plus, to make matters worse, illegals can now fly legally on commercial airlines. Without a valid ID and carrying only a Notice to Appear Form and whatever disease they might have brought in from Mexico, they could be sitting next to you on an airplane, breathing the same stale, recirculated air.
Third—don’t forget about the gangs, drugs and possibly terrorists that are now flooding into the country. Ranchers and other American citizens along the border fear for their lives as their land is being overrun by these unwanted visitors. Where are their rights? Where are all these drugs going? What good will any of these gang members do for the USA?
We must all realize that America is now under siege, and our entire way of life is now in jeopardy. Many choose to ignore what is happening—just as they chose to continue to ignore Obama dismantling the Constitution, turning the esteemed position of presidency into a joke, mocking Congress, usurping the media, brainwashing our children, creating havoc in the Middle East, destroying our economy and destabilizing the dollar.
Let us stop the bleeding. Send in the National Guard to our southern border! It does not require an act of Congress nor will it require any new budgetary appropriation. We must protect ourselves first before we consider protecting the world.

The Obama administration has been rocked by innumerable scandals, failures and displays of complete ineptness. However, one particular story has certainly not garnered the attention it certainly merits.
As Mexican and other illegals pour over our southern border as if it did not exist, our brave soldier Andrew Tahmooressi rots in a Mexican prison awaiting trial from a corrupt and unpredictable legal system. Today is day 101, and most of our country has just about forgotten our comrade in arms. I would like to say he is being held under due jurisdiction, but instead I say that he is being held hostage by an unfriendly nation.
While we openly welcome, transport and pay for the Mexicans who come illegally to our country, Mexico holds one of our soldiers hostage like a common thug in a prison that is unfit for even rats.
Where is the American outrage? Why has the president forsaken one of his own uniformed men while embracing thousands of illegal aliens braking the law to enter our country by the day? Worse yet, why when Obama recently spoke with the president of Mexico did he did not even speak of or insist upon his return? This act by Obama is completely disgraceful and typifies his attitude towards America, her citizens and her brave soldiers. He is as un-American as communism.
Let us all not forget about Andrew Tahmooressi and do everything we can through our congressman to bring him home now.
The “War on Terror” was coined by President Bush, denied by Obama and fought for by our brave soldiers. However, as the Middle East burns and the rise of increased radical Islam groups like ISIS take hold, it seems that we are slowly losing it.
Historians will look back and put the blame on many people and reasons for the loss. However, as our gains in the Middle East seemingly become squandered, one must ask, “What are we doing wrong?”
Many can blame poor strategy, a denial of the problem, a misunderstanding of Arab culture or a true lack of a president who is willing to fight for what is right. However, the fact remains, the more people we kill or capture over there, the more new terrorists are created. It’s a never ending loop. But how do we stop it?
The answer is really simple and few are willing to stand up say what is needed. The media and government are unwilling to acknowledge the solution and those that speak the truth are demonized.
The answer is simple. Just like in all the wars from ancient times until today, there is one main thing necessary to wage it—Money. Without money, there is no supplies, food, ammunition, or any other goods needed to pursue it. Where does the money the terrorist use to impose their radical Islam ways upon the world?
The answer is oil. Without oil, they would have nothing but sticks, sand and rocks to fight our soldiers. Without oil, they would not have the means to mount any offensive or counteroffensive. Without money, they would have no followers.
Cut off the oil and you cut off the head of our enemy.
Thus, the answer is emergency independence, and I’m not writing about all Obama’s green Solyndra failures. I’m writing about fracking, drilling, and mining for natural gas.
We have more than the means necessary to win this war. However, we still rely on foreign oil. And the proceeds from that oil are used to kill our soldiers and harass civilized society. It is insane that no one will properly address this problem and do what is needed to correct it. Instead, we send more and more of our brave men and woman into battle.
History repeats itself. Remember the only way we beat the Dessert Fox, Rommel, in tank warfare. We took away his oil. If we did the same to the Middle East victory would be assured.
Cut off the snake’s head and the body dies!
Here’s a great list of Obama’s socialist quotes. And he’s our president?
-
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times.”
-
“Generally, the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties.”
-
“If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
-
“I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
-
“Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”
-
“I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program.”
-
“I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because I actually believe in redistribution…”
-
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
-
“…We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.”
-
“It’s because you have an obligation to yourself. Because our individual salvation depends on collective salvation.”
-
“The great task before our founders was putting into practice the ideal that government could simultaneously serve liberty and advance the common good. and Government, he believed, had an important role to play in advancing our common prosperity.”
-
“Political discussions, the kind at Occidental had once seemed so intense and purposeful, came to take on the flavor of the socialist conferences I sometimes attended at Cooper Union”
Synopsis: In “The New Reality”, author Stephen Martino delivers an action-packed medical thriller in a heart-stopping race to save humanity. After a deadly retrovirus is inadvertently released upon the planet in 2080, no country is financially prepared to deal with such a disaster. Only the acclaimed neuroscientist, Alex Pella, and NIH expert, Marissa Ambrosia, have the audacity to lead a search for the cure while simultaneously fending off a foreign elite military unit sent to stop them. Guided by an ancient code concealed within the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, the scientists must traverse ancient lands and attempt to solve a biblical riddle in order to save humanity from its eminent destruction. Drawing from both our nation s politically charged environment and the worldwide economic crisis, “The New Reality” follows Alex Pella on a journey that projects a frightening path for human existence in the twenty-first century.
Critique: With a storyline that could be ripped from tomorrow’s newspaper headlines, author Stephen Martino reveals an extraordinary ability for creating memorable characters embedded in a thrill ride of an adventure that will grip the reader’s total attention from first page to last. Attention Hollywood! This is the stuff of which block buster movies and ratings gold television series are made! Highly recommended for community library fiction collections and personal reading lists, it should be noted that “The New Reality” is also available in a Kindle edition ($7.49).

Midwest Book Review
June 2014
While the Middle East burns, Russian power grows and China flexes its muscles, Obama’s domestic policies prove just as disastrous domestically as it does abroad. Higher taxes, a failed Obamacare program, increasing national debt and an unfriendly business environment have made the inevitable occur. The gross domestic product fell by 2.9 percent this first quarter as reported by the Commerce Department.
Though many in the government seem surprised by this number or even absurdly blame the weather for it, the facts show that consumer spending on goods, business outlays on equipment and housing investment were much lower than expected. Also, exports in the period fell by nearly 10%.
Economics say that in order for there to be a healthy economy and rise in GDP, consumer spending must grow at least 3% annually. However, they also point out that the high number of unemployed and underemployed Americans along with stagnant US incomes makes any growth difficult. Also, as Americans are burdened by higher taxes and a rise in the cost of living, the chance that spending will increase continues to diminish.
Unfortunately, this constriction of the US economy is a direct result of Obama’s failed policies. Higher taxes rates, greater government interference and more restrictive laws make the creation and growth of businesses in this country more difficult. As a result, both foreign and domestic investors are increasingly looking abroad for places to invest their money.
Can we survive a second Obama term?
With deadly viruses, bacteria and fungi already prevalent and mutating throughout the United States and world, the potential for a possible outbreak like the influenza pandemic of 1917 is always present. Plus, when you realize that certain diseases such as the MERS virus in the Middle East and the Ebola virus in Africa are already causing havoc in those regions, one must wonder if any of these known or potentially unknown deadly diseases could take hold in this country. Worse yet, there is something scarier to consider: could we accidentally release one of these deadly diseases into the USA?
Though it sounds like science fiction (in fact, it is the basis of my medical/political thriller The New Reality), this possibility may be closer to fact than fiction. A recent incident at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) near Atlanta piqued my concern. It is well known that the CDC stores, evaluates and experiments upon some of the most deadly diseases in the world. One of these diseases is Anthrax—and no, not the rock band. If infected with this bacteria, a person could have gastrointestinal, skin and pulmonary symptoms, ultimately leading to death in most cases.
While working with anthrax at the CDC, scientists thought they adequately inactivated the bacteria. However, after transporting it to a few other labs within the CDC, it was discovered that the bacteria was not only not dead, but it had also aerosolized its deadly spores. 75 scientists were potentially contaminated as a result and subsequently began treatment in case they were infected.
Fortunately, no one receiving this antibiotic treatment has yet to show any signs of infection. However, the threat of potential future human errors still remains.
As the persecution of Christian heightens around the world, what is our president’s response? Many have been watching in horror as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) took control of Iraq’s second largest city, Mosul, and are now moving toward Kirkuk. Along the way, they are killing the innocent and causing Christian populations living in the region since the first century to flee their homes for their lives. Plus, we also watch the military gains won by our brave soldiers in Iraq slowly slipping away, squandered by an incompetent Obama administration. By pledging 275 military personnel to our embassy in Bagdad, Iraq, Obama has done nothing to stop ISIS’s spread or curtail any Christian persecution in the region.
Where was Obama when Somalia’s al-Qaida-linked terror group al-Shabaab recently went door to door murdering Christians in a Kenyan village as they watched the World Cup? Did he speak up about the atrocities? Did he call these acts a hate crime? No, unfortunately Christians appear to be of no concern to our president. While he publically calls out a man for creating a video which supposedly offended some of a certain religion, churches burn and are looted across the Middle East. Syria, Egypt, Libya, Kenya and Somalia are but a few of the countries that immediately come to mind where Christian intolerance is reaching all-time highs.
However, his lack of concern or outrage on the subject comes as no surprise. Most do not remember or even ever heard of the Christian persecution in Egypt by the Muslin Brotherhood. After the fall of Morsi, Christians were paraded throughout the streets, many faithful were outright killed, churches were vandalized and the religion was demonized. Pope Francis recently spoke publically about the problem by stating Christian persecution is worse now than it was in the first century when the religion was banned by the Roman Empire.
Is the president too busy playing golf, promoting his progressive agenda, on another vacation or just doesn’t care enough to speak up against the worldwide rise in Christian persecution? The president’s silence and lack of any response only emboldens those that wish to wipe Christianity from our planet and impose their way of life upon us. As he has already seemingly forsaken Israel and now does the same to the Christian faithful, Obama’s true beliefs and agenda are no longer transparent. The man is of no ally to Israel or the Christian world.
Did you ever consider why our unemployment numbers seem so low despite the fact that government subsidies are at an all-time high? With the marked increased usage of food stamps, Medicaid, WIC, section 8 and disability among others, how do any of these trends correlate with a thriving economy?
First, the unemployment number represents only the percent of legal Americans who are ACTIVELY looking for work who can’t find a job. It does not represent the unemployed who simply can’t find an adequate job and simply gave up looking. As the above graph shows, the working participation rate has hit a 35-year-low of 63.2 percent in the United States in 2013, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)—clearly identifying that less Americans are working. Ironically, this percentage has not been so low since when Jimmy Carter was in office.
Plus, the number of people considered working also represents those who are forced to take underemployment or part time because they can’t find an adequate job. It should not come as a surprise about the increase in part time employment. Due to Obamacare, this number continues to increase by the day because the law penalizes low-wage employers for hiring full-time workers while encouraging workers to prefer part-time jobs. In fact for those in the bottom quintile of income, the average workweek has shrunk by more than an hour since the recession began. Also the proportion of those in this same quintile with full-time jobs also dropped significantly. In some industries and occupations, the decline amounts to losing five weeks of work a year.
Worse yet, here is a passage form a recent article by the Daily Signal: Obamacare also encourages many low and moderate income workers to prefer part-time jobs. Employees generally work full-time for two reasons: to make more money and to get health benefits. Under the ACA, the government now subsidizes health benefits, but only for workers whose employers do not offer them it. Many workers can now make as much working part-time without health benefits, taking all their compensation in cash, and collecting exchange subsidies as they would by working full-time and taking part of their compensation as employer-provided health coverage. Consequently Obamacare will put downward pressure on both the supply of and demand for full-time jobs. The Congressional Budget Office estimates Obamacare will appreciably shrink total hours worked in the economy over the next decade, finding the largest declines “will probably occur among lower-wage workers.”
This downward trend will make it difficult to become finally independent and create more people on the federal dole by the day. Ironically, that is what Obama wants, and the law is set up in such a way to make it happen. Unfortunately, we are creating a generation of Americans dependent not on themselves but on government. Remember, the American dream represents life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness–not a shorter life expectancy under Obamacare, no liberty under the NSA and the pursuit of the next government handout.
Where is this economy headed?
