Are all bad drivers created equal? Not in Seattle, WA they’re not, where the city attorney has made it his goal to reduce prosecutions of drivers caught driving with suspended licenses by 90 percent. Protection from drivers with suspended licenses? The city’s attorney believes that going after drivers with suspended licenses is racist “because blacks and other racial minorities are more likely to be poor than Whites and unable to pay their fines.” Despite a study which showed that drivers with suspended licenses were 2.5 times more likely to get into accidents, Seattle’s city government continued pushing a “driver’s license optional” policy in the name of racial and economic justice. But where is the racial and economic justice when young black women like Kiana are killed because the authorities would rather pander than enforce the law and do their jobs. _____________ Why have a license at all? What say you when elected officials refuse to enforce laws concerning suspended licenses? mailto:JAJ48@AOL.COM?subject=City of Seattle refuses to enforce laws re suspended licenses ~ ~ ~ Humor Go Home! Facebook post announcing plans by a UC Berkeley Republican group to sell baked goods priced according to race, gender and ethnicity - “White/Caucasian” pastries for $2 and “Black/African American” pastries for 75 cents, for example - has drawn outrage on campus. The purpose “is to offer another view to this policy of considering race in university admissions. The pricing structure of the baked goods is meant to be satirical.” But students say the joke is anything but funny. More than 200 students responded to the event, most opposed, and some violently so. One threatened to burn the table and set the cupcakes on fire. _____________ Another in a series of untouchable campus subjects. What say you about a little humor at UC Berkeley to high light the use of race in university admissions?mailto:JAJ48@AOL.COM ~ ~ ~ Powerful Women Wage War on Weaker Women Five powerful women automatons (all Democrats) preach but don’t practice gender pay equality. And the worst offender is Senator Murray who pays women 35% less than her male staff. A group of Democratic female senators on Wednesday declared war on the so-called “gender pay gap,” urging their colleagues to pass the aptly named Paycheck Fairness Act when Congress returns from recess next month. However, a substantial gender pay gap exists in their own offices, a Washington Free Beacon analysis of Senate salary data reveals. Of the five senators who participated in Wednesday’s press conference—Barbara Mikulski (D., Md.), Patty Murray (D., Wash.), Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) and Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.)—three pay their female staff members significantly less than male staffers. Murray, who has repeatedly accused Republicans of waging a “war a women,” is one of the worst offenders. Female members of Murray’s staff made about $21,000 less per year than male staffers in 2011, a difference of 35.2 percent. _________________________ Probably these elitists women politicians have no idea who is paid what which is of course the usual for them. ~ ~ ~ Slavery for Real under Sharia Law Currently, there are half a million Black slaves in Islamic Mauritania. In Mauritania, the anti- slavery group SOS Enclaves estimates there are about 500,000 black African slaves among the country’s population of 3.1 million.Their masters are Arab and Berber Mauritanians, who share the same Islamic religion with their chattel. Unlike in Sudan, where the Arabs get their African slaves from old-fashioned, brutal slave raids, the Mauritanian slaves are the product of a system that has kept them in a state of bondage for generations, going back, in some cases, several hundred years. A larger problem is that the abomination of slavery in Mauritania and other Arab countries will be difficult to eradicate.Slavery is an ingrained, centuries-old institution in Islamic countries. It is also legal under Sharia law. _____________ Feel free to comment.

J obs, Economy, Laws, ObamaCare, Racism and Crime highlights news stories in the US and the world from 2008 onward. The author, writes from a conservative perspective with a pithy writing style. Your comments back are encouraged. With eBooks and the Internet, books are no longer one-way message boards. USA jobs and the USA economy were central concerns for working Americans during President Obama’s first year in office. But President Obama with Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the Progressive Democrats ignored the economy and pursued health care reform as their top priority. Obama could have done anything the first two years as the Democrat Party controlled the Senate, the House and the Executive branch. What did we get? ObamaCare. We now know that Obama raided $716 Billion dollars from Medicare meant for senior citizens to prop up ObamaCare, a vast new entitlement program. Many of stories in Four More Obama Years? concern actions taken by Progressives not reported by the Liberal mainstream media. Selective news reporting and shaping how that news is presented is a hall mark of the main stream media long dominated by Progressives. Laws & Regulations: Some of the stories concern Obama’s use of regulations to control various aspects of the USA economy. When Obama cannot legislate, he regulates through his unelected czars. Obama and the Progressives use EPA regulations to shut down much the coal industry. Obama’s OCR regulations for colleges lower the legal standard for sexual harassment to preponderance of the evidence instead of the higher standard, beyond a reasonable doubt. Obama’s TSA regulations result in an enormous growth of security workers, long lines at airports and – guess what zero arrests for terrorism. Obama’s federal fuel regulations require that biofuel is added to gasoline but – whoops the biofuel does not exist. No matter, the companies must pay fines for not doing the impossible. Federal regulations preserve endangered bats over windmills. Needless to say, Obama’s federal regulations drag down USA economic growth and slow job creation. Obama and Crime: Certain crimes are growing including personal identity fraud, and voter ID fraud. Obama’s Attorney General Holder will not enforce voter ID laws which he deems racist. Thousands of dead people continue to vote thanks to Obama’s Justice and IRS policies. Who are the Progressives? Well known ones include Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and President Obama. Less well known Progressives come in many guises. Progressives include the City Attorney for Seattle who thinks it’s racist to enforce the laws concerning suspended licenses, Another Progressive is CA Assemblyman Bill Monning who seeks legislative control of any and all food carts near CA public schools. Progressive policies are visible when public universities use race as a primary consideration for admission. So what can be done about Obama and his Progressive policies? Some Solutions are suggested. So what say you?:Four more Obama years? .mailto:JAJ48@AOL.COM ~ ~ ~ Story 1: Roach Coach Disabled California Assemblyman Bill Monning, D-Carmel, has introduced legislation to restrict mobile food vending near school campuses. The bill prohibits food and beverage vending within 1,500 feet of elementary and secondary school campuses from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on any days schools are in session. It also requires local health agencies to notify mobile food vendors of this restriction. • “The mobile vending of unhealthful snacks like ice cream, chips and sugar-sweetened beverages near school campuses undermines efforts to provide students with the nutrition they need,” Monning said. “At a time when childhood obesity is at epidemic levels, we must ensure that our school environments foster student wellness.” • According to Monning, mobile vending near school campuses creates incentive for students to leave school grounds, which increases their exposure to off-campus hazards such as heavily trafficked streets. _______________ • This is bogus on many grounds. Kids leave school at lunchtime anyway. The roach coach is at the curb which is closer than the store down the street. The union workers at the school cafeteria benefit while the non union workers are expelled from business. • 1500 feet from any school will encompass most of many cities. And, finally, who appointed Monning as Chief cook?

Obama has responded to the Egyptian military’s massacre of Coptic Christian protestors in Cairo Sunday He made a pointedly even-handed statement that calls equally on Christians and the military to show restraint Obama is suggesting that Egypt’s increasingly persecuted Christian minority should show as much “restraint” as their tormentors and refrain from vigorously objecting to the growing abuse More. ..
