Today's News UPDATED

This morning's WSJ Page One headline: Corzine Races to Save Firm. First paragraph:

Jon S. Corzine, the former New Jersey governor, raced over the weekend to find a buyer for MF Global Holdings Ltd. in an attempt to rescue the securities firm he now runs from a crisis partially of his own making.

This might have been news to everyone else today, but we knew about MF Global's demise a week ago. You see, we read Ann Barnhardt's blog because she's smart, and she wears our Commie Obama hat.

So a lib was voted out of office, took a CEO spot at an investment firm, made investment decisions on his own and ignored his team of advisors, the investments went bad, and hard-working people lost their jobs. And this is news in Obama's America?

Ann has a new post about missing funds at MF Global. Just $700 million.

UPDATE 11.1 7:30am START

The WSJ reports today the missing funds are "roughly $900 million."

NYT reports: "What began as nearly $1 billion missing had dropped to less than $700 million by late Monday. It is unclear where the money went..." but also adds, "the investigation threatens to tarnish the reputation of Jon S. Corzine."

Some other tarnished reputations from history:

Maddoff's reputation tarnished in $65 billion ponzi scheme,
Hitler's reputation tarnished in holocaust,
Clinton's reputation tarnished with rape charge and impeachment,
Mao's reputation tarnished after 63 million killed/starved.

UPDATE END

Ann has the Quote of the Day in her concluding remarks on MF Global and the coming/continued collapse of America's financial institutions:

This MF Global collapse is a small-scale (yes, that's right, SMALL-SCALE) foretaste of what is going to happen to the entire system. When I say get your money out of the market, out of paper instruments, and turn it into something real that is physically located on your property, that you can then stand in front of with an assault rifle and physically defend, I'M NOT KIDDING.

She has a pink AR-15. Very cool.

In unrelated news, Zombie reports on the organizations behind the Occupy movement. Here are the first seven in his list:

Communist Party USA
American Nazi Party
Ayatollah Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran
Barack Obama
The government of North Korea
Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam
Revolutionary Communist Party

Sorta the same supporters of the Tea Party. Except different.

Ushanka Tips to Ann and Zombie.

Profanity is...

...a small mind expressing itself. We do not condone young children using profanity here at Ushanka.us!

Billboard

Our question: How many of the people who like this billboard will vote Democrat in 2012, and how many who like this billboard will vote Republican?

Projection

Projection: accusing others of doing what you're guilty of.

Here is another Project Veritas video, and a coup of ACORN-like success. He infiltrates a journalism class and records NYT communists.



Notice the projection. On the streets in New York these people are claiming to be the 99% against an elite 1%. But in the US college classrooms - the breeding grounds for communist enlightenment - they claim to be the 1% elite.

U/T: BigFurHat

Speaking of the 1%, they dropped this leaflet on the 99%'ers yesterday in New York. Here is a taste of their retort to the hippie-commies:

What's going to happen when we can't find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We're going to take yours. We get up at 5am and work till 10pm or later. We're used to not getting up to pee when we have a position. we don't take an hour or more for a lunch break. We don't demand a union. We don't retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, we'll eat that.

For years teachers and other unionized labor have had us fooled. We were too busy working to notice. Do you really think that we are incapable of teaching 3rd graders and doing landscaping? We're going to take your cushy jobs with tenure and 4 months off a year and whine just like you that we are so-o-o-o underpaid for building the youth of America. Say goodbye to your overtime and double time and a half. I'll be hitting grounders to the high school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much. So now that we're going to be making $85k a year without upside, Joe Mainstreet is going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: we're going to stop buying the new 80k car, we aren't going to leave the 35 percent tip at our business dinners anymore. No more free rides on our backs. We're going to landscape our own back yards, wash our cars with a garden hose in our driveways. Our money was your money. You spent it. When our money dries up, so does yours.

The difference is, you lived off of it, we rejoiced in it. The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee might get their way and knock us off the top of the pyramid, but it'd really going to hurt like hell for them when our fat a**es land directly on the middle class of America and knock them to the bottom.

UPDATE 10.30

According to IOTW, this leaflet, which was dropped on Occupy Chicago, was a message sent in an email over a year ago. Ok then.

Quote & Video of the Day

The Newbius Papers on the Occupy crowd:

When the producers refuse to play, and refuse to be prey, what then? You can only 'eat the rich' once. After that, you have to become a producer yourself (or become prey). Think about that.

And a great video found at IOTW - I Don't Want to Work:

SFC Kristoffer B. Domeij

Sergeant Kristoffer B. Domeij died in his 14th tour in the War on Terror.

A Ranger.
Few can do one tour as a Ranger in peacetime.
Fewer still can do one tour as a Ranger in war.
This man did 14 and no-doubt had more in him.

The price we are paying in this war in America's best is horrible. And necessary.

God bless us for having people like Sergeant Kristoffer B. Domeij.

99% pics & video

John Hawkins, Owner of the 'fascionable' Commie Obama hat, has his top ten pics. We liked this one:

And Robb at Sharp as a Marble has this awesome pic:

And two ReasonTV videos found through Glenn:





These so called 99%'ers are making fools of themselves. They are pawns in a commie plot to create chaos for Obama's greater good.

The good news - the commies have to turn to Sociology students to fight their battles.

If these 99%'ers were capable of doing anything other than sitting on their asses and complaining, they wouldn't be Sociology students.

The Bright Side

These three videos we pulled from NiceDeb's site show the bright side for America. Unfortunately, accountability in Obama's America is often unseen as it only occurs in the House of Representatives.

Please join us in praising our diligent representatives in Congress: Darrel Issa (R-CA), Trey Gowdy (R-SC), and Jason Chaffetz (R-UT). We'd prefer to see these three guys in a GOP presidential debate...







We think the messages the Secretary of Homeland Security is trying to convey are: 1) One dead agent isn't worth all this abuse, 2) she gives directives but never follows up or measures success, 3) Government sloppiness in putting guns into the hands of known violent thugs is only an issue if the weapons are "powerful", 4) 2000+ guns to Mexico does not justify a call to the attorney general, 5) catching the agent's shooter is more important than stopping future shooters of agents, 6) if none of her subordinates comes to her with contrary information, she will not seek it.

We wonder if these three congressmen are now considered Right Wing Extremists....

Confrontation

Confrontation - the only way to defeat Communism. Reagan did it in the 80's, and this former Soviet citizen did it on Wall Street.



1:57:

Protester: What are you doing here?

Former Soviet Citizen: Just watching stupid people like you.

We can only hope he was wearing our Commie Obama hat!
