What Caused The Oil Rig Fire Off The Lousiana Coast?

by Jim Campbell

The media coverage of the of the oil rig disaster off the Louisiana coast is filled with the usual stories about damage to the environment, the need for and future of off shore drilling, President Obama’s statement that we must revisit future plans for off shore drilling seem all to predictable.  Why are virtually no articles focusing on the cause?

The LA Times reported today in an excellent review on drilling technology explained, BP officials said it is too early to know details about how the gulf blast occurred. But they said the rig operators had tapped a new reservoir of oil and were preparing to install a cement plug through the pipes to cap it for future production. It’s possible gas rose up through the riser and exploded.

Notice the BP official used the term possible not probable. In statical analysis, the probability of an event happening is a probability of 1 in 4.
“It has a one in four chance of happening,” or “If you try this 100 times, it will probably happen 25 of them,” so it is the same as a 25% chance.

As reported today in The Dallas Morning News, the explosion came less than a month after Obama’s decision to open portions of the East Coast to oil and gas exploration, and opponents of the move have seized on the blast as a reason to reverse course. Probably.

The blast, subsequent fire and oil spill occurred on Earth Day, April 22, 2010.  Coincidence?  Possibly.

Again today the MSNB noted President Barack Obama directed that no new offshore oil drilling leases be issued unless rigs have new safeguards to prevent a repeat of the explosion that unleashed the massive spill threatening the Gulf Coast with major environmental damage.

A rather odd declaration to say the least since the cause of the explosion is not known.  China is currently drilling for oil off our coast. Why is the United States  thwarted from drilling in its own territory when just 50 miles off the Florida coastline while the Chinese government is drilling for oil under Cuban leases?

The United States is not drilling off its own coasts because of the environmental movement.  Are they concerned  about China’s drilling? Possibly.

Will China be required to use the new safe safeguards  required by U.S. companies? Possibly.

The Atlanta Business Journal reported that the Oil Rig reported the explosion three hours before the fire. Is this scenario a cause for investigation?  High Probability.

As reported by CBS News, crews were doing routine work before the explosion and there were no signs of trouble. He said the explosion appeared to be a blowout, in which natural gas or oil forces its way up a well pipe and smashes the equipment. But precisely what went wrong was under investigation.

Will the green movement use this as further fodder for their agenda? They already have.

Will the cause of this disaster ever be determined? Possibly.

Does the horrible blast, fire and subsequent oil spill fit perfectly with the current administration’s, “do absolutely anything to accomplish their objectives policy?  Probably.

Was Ted Kennedy given a hall pass in his causing the death of Mary Jo Kopechne?  Undoubtly.

Was Jimmy Carter’s a failed presidency? Absolutely according  to the liberal think tank, the Brookings Institution.

Was Richard Nixon a “crook?” Absolutely.

I’m not a big fan of coincidence. Coming from a science background proof lies with statistical probability. Random thoughts while observing the passing charade, I’m J.C.

On Making Sausage: Why The Rush On The Puerto Rico Statehood bill?

By Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) Senior Member of the Democrat House Puerto Rico.

The Hill

Representative Guiterrez’s  discussion on Puerto Rico’s pending statehood is to be commended.  Finally, an honest Democrat speaks.

Once again the Pelosi led congress has slipped one by the American voters in the dead of night. Rep. Guiterrez’s  assessment clearly show the deceitful intentions of a run-away congress and its dishonest members.

Do we need more ammunition for the November election? I think not. Random thoughts while observing the passing parade, I’m J.C.

H.R. 2499, the Puerto Rico statehood bill was brought to the House this week after a surprise announcement last Thursday. Debate on this bill has been severely limited by the way Democratic Leaders are managing the process.

Boycott Arizona? No! It’s Time For A Massive Show Of Support

by Jim Campbell

Once again, the progressives on the left are shooting off their mouths while failing to read the law.

Arizona’s new legislation designed to protect their borders is Constitutionally affirming Federal Law. The new legislation apparently gets in the way of hysteric race baiters, those that want to file law suits, boycott Arizona and declare the new immigration law signed recently by Governor Brewer Unconstitutional without reading it.

It’s time that we go on the offense as Americans and take our business and vacations to Arizona and shun places with warped thinking like San Francisco.

The $10 Trillion Climate Fraud

Let me keep this short and sweet, this guy needs his ass kicked big time. America cannot afford his delusions, he belongs behind bars in the same cell as Bernie Madoff. As further evidence of his fraudulent assertions, he just completed purchase of a $9 million beach front mansion in CA. Seems he’s not that worried about the rising waters after all. Do we need further evidence.? Al Gore is a complete fraud and a carbon whore.Random thoughts while observing the passing charade, I’m J.C.

Al Gore is co-founder of an investment management firm that is now the fifth-largest shareholder in the Chicago Climate Exchange.

Cap-And-Trade: While senators froth over Goldman Sachs and derivatives, a climate trading scheme being run out of the Chicago Climate Exchange would make Bernie Madoff blush. Its trail leads to the White House.

ACLU Letter Urges President Obama To Reject Targeted Killings Outside Conflict Zones

Reported Program Is Illegal And Unconstitutional

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: (212) 549-2666; media@aclu.org

The ACLU: All Communist Liberties Union has done it again.  Have they done much to support and defend the Constitution as originally written? 

Where are they when Obama recently called in the troops in battle dress uniforms at a recent  Tea Party to intimidate the protesters?(video here)  Never mind that there has been no violence at any of these events. The ACLU, like the media, is routinely AWOL when real Americans need them. Random thoughts while observing the passing charade, I’m J.C.
NEW YORK – ACLU  today sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to reject his administration’s reported authorization of a program under which suspects, including American citizens, can be targeted, hunted and killed far away from any battlefield.

According to the letter, signed by ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero, the use of lethal force outside of armed conflict zones is strictly limited by international law, and at least in some circumstances, the Constitution, which permit lethal force to be used only as a last resort and only to prevent imminent attacks that are likely to cause death or serious physical injury. The program is reportedly based on “kill lists” to which the names of U.S. citizens and others are added after a secret internal process.

So What’s Up With Puerto Rico?

Why has the media been completely AWOL on this story? Click link below for bills current status.

Obama, Holder, Press Corps, ACLU And The Entire Leftist World Line Up To Crush Jan Brewer And The People Of The State Of Arizona

Big Government

by John L. Work

One might ask, what’s the issue here? Governor Brewer is only following the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.  This legislation will clearly be used on those of Arab decent should they violate a law requiring them to show their green cards as well.  Wait for CAIR to get involved here as well.

Under the Tenth Amendment which preserves the traditional police powers of the states to control their own jurisdictions. The Heritage Foundation has advocated for extensive innovation at the lowest levels of government in terms of immigration enforcement.

This could be another Obama driven waste of time and money used as a diversion of more ominous being planned in the transparent dark behind closed doors.  Watch the other hand. Random thoughts while observing the passing charade, I’m J.C.

Governor Jan Brewer and her constituents in the State of Arizona stand-alone now against the amassed powers of the President of The United States, the United State Department of Justice, the American Civil Liberties Union, The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the National Immigration Law Center and other yet unnamed entities determined to break down and destroy our national sovereignty.  Arizona’s crime is to pass a law making it possible for local police to determine if individuals are in the United States illegally.  Brewer’s crime is that she signed that bill into law.

So, it is David vs. Goliath, with the survival of our sovereign nation at stake.  Tragically, the very powers that are Constitutionally supposed to protect America from foreign invasion are lined up to ruin her.

An Investigative Report Detailing The Obama Eligibility Controversy

I cannot think of any other subject in recent American history that has been so mired in controversy, so factually misrepresented, mischaracterized and so misunderstood than the matter of the eligibility of Barack Hussein OBAMA II to hold the office of President of the United States. Despite its importance, the topic has been summarily dismissed as fodder for conspiracy theorists by many, while others insist that the question of OBAMA’s citizenship has been “asked and answered.” But has it really been answered, and if not, why not?

In consideration of the controversy that continues to plague Barack Hussein OBAMA over his citizenship status and his well documented sustained pattern of refusal to provide authenticated documentation of his birth records and numerous other pertinent records, I’ve conducted an in-depth investigation into the matter in an effort to separate fact from fiction, myth from reality. My approach was the same I’ve used as an investigator over the last 25 years on behalf of Fortune 100 companies in their selection of corporate executives, conducting due diligence background investigations. In this case, however, I was not afforded direct and unfettered access to the “applicant’s”, or in this case, OBAMA’s original records. Nonetheless, I conducted inquiries and a lengthy investigation researching the information directly or indirectly disclosed by OBAMA, as well as collections of documents, court records, official federal and state documents, verbal statements, utterances and other documents determined to be of authentic provenance.

Why Was It Unconstitutional For President Harry Truman To Take Over the Coal and Steel Industries, With President Obama Being Held To A Different Standard?

by Jim Campbell

Harry Truman Museum:

American Daily Review:

The American Presidency Project:

When President Harry Truman was told by the Supreme Court of the United States of America that his attempts to seize the coal and steel industries were Unconstitutional, why is Barack Hussein Obama being held to a different standard?

Does he believe he is above the law?  Is he betting that the current leadership, under Nancy Pelosi would never begin Impeachment Proceedings?  What will Republicans do when they eventually gain control of both houses?

On the issue, does he believe he’s above the law?  The answer goes without saying as was recently demonstrated during the vote on the health care fiasco.  Also his take over of Banks. the Auto Industry, and seventeen percent of the GDP by nationalizing our health care industry would certainly qualify.  Is he safe with his bet on Nancy Pelosi, seemingly so.

What will Republicans do when they once again gain control of both houses or make substantial gains in November? It would be most prudent to make President Obama a lame duck, making no more legislation possible during the next two years.

The country would not be well served with another Impeachment when there is so much very important legislation to be implemented, cutting taxes, and useless programs, while putting our country back on the road toward real growth in the private sector.

Random thoughts while observing the passing charade, I’m J.C.

On June 2, 1952, in a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court declared in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer that the president lacked the authority to seize the steel mills. Writing for a badly divided majority, Justice Hugo Black held that the president had no authority under the Constitution to seize private property on the grounds of national security. Since the Congress had not otherwise authorized the president to seize the steel mills, the president could not do so.

When President Truman attempted to deal with striking coal workers, in United States v. Pewee Coal Co. 341 U.S. 114 (1951) as justification for the government’s claims of unfettered executive power.  Judge Pine issued his opinion at 4:45 p.m. on April 29. “There is no express grant of power in the Constitution authorizing the President to direct this seizure. There is no grant of power from which it reasonably can be implied. There is no enactment of Congress authorizing it,” the court declared. H/T dragon1
