Crazy, hurricane-force winds and torrential rainstorms don't usually happen here. We haven't even had much rain for many years (we've been in a Stage 2 or 3 drought for a long time now). That all changed when my little street became a raging river in short order this afternoon, and you should have seen all the trash and recycling cans (trash day) floating down the street! I was watching the action out front when I heard the commotion out back.....<br />

...and what do my wondering eyes should appear but a giant eucalyptus tree that fell on my patio, taking out two 24' queen palms and part of my little lemon tree. The patio is under 6" of water and my planters are overflowed. My 2nd floor awning came loose and took off like a magic carpet, sailing over the roof...like something out of 'The Wizard of Oz". It's probably half way to NY by now.<br />
<br />
<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220128013?profile=original" alt=""/></p>
Yes, we need the rain. I'm not complaining, but it would be nice to spread it out over the calendar a little. We're due for four more days of this! It was crazy to watch it unfold, and feel so helpless. I was standing at the upstairs glass sliders when the awning took flight. Humbling. Very humbling.<br />
<br />
About 3 minutes after the tree fell, it cleared:<br />
<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220128371?profile=original" alt=""/></p>
<br />
The silver lining is that my water bill will significantly drop over the next month or two! And the view from the 2nd floor has improved. :-)<br />
Just another day in paradise.<br />
<br />
Mine are very small potatoes and will be handled quite easily, I'm sure. But 10 miles from here, there were cars parked on the street almost completely submerged under water, and a 100 year old tree fell on a house just up Coast Hwy. Fortunately, no one was hurt. But what if those who lost their cars can't afford to buy another -- even with insurance? What if that man's house can't be repaired because he lost his job? -- or is living on social security and has lost his investments?<br />
<br />
Tonight, I pray we receive the rain we need, but not the headaches we don't. I especially pray for those in the burn areas who stand to lose the most..including homes and livestock (alot of horses here)....and may have no way to rebuild due to the economy. Many people were forced to evacuate those areas ahead of the storm --- nerve wracking, to say the least. Yes, the situation in Haiti is awful, but let's remember those in our own country who desperately need help and who still go without. You may be one of them, or know someone who has lost so much. They may even go hungry, but wouldn't ever tell you because the embarrassment is worse to them than the pain that won't allow them restful sleep.<br />
<br />
So, why is so easy for us to open our checkbooks for those in a foreign country whom we don't know, but let those here in this country so without? Do we have higher expectations for our own? Or is it the "it could happen to me" fear factor that keeps us from extending a helping hand to our next door neighbor or the single mom two doors down the street? Even if we don't see it, hear it, feel it --- the "it" still happens..."it's" all around you. Does it have to take a natural disaster to open our hearts?<br />
<br />
What do you suppose would happen if you helped someone in need? If it were you, you know you'd appreciate the help. Give a hand up.....that's the spirit rebuilt NYC after 9/11...strangers helping strangers. We're all strangers to each other until we have something to share with one another.<br />

<br />
And we know Miss Michelle didn't have any trouble blowing out the candles because her husband invited the 'inner circle' to join in the festivities, like Marian Robinson, Michelle's mother, and Atty General Eric Holder and his wife Sharon Malone. Eric and Cheryl Whitaker, and Marty Nesbitt and wife Anita Blanchard flew in from Chicago. Most of the other guests come from their circle of Chicago friends, many of whom joined the Obama administration, such as Valerie Jarrett, Senior White House adviser and personal friend of the Obamas, Susan Sher, the First Lady's chief of staff, Cindy Moelis, Director of the White House Fellows program, Elizabeth Alexander, a former University of Chicago faculty member now at Yale, who delivered a poem at the Obama inauguration, and Jocelyn Frye, Mrs. Obama's Harvard Law School classmate and Director of Policy and Projects in the First Lady's office.<br />
<br />
The president rented a private room (of course) at Restaurant Nora for four hours and had a special lobster and lamb meal prepared. The lobster dish on the regular menu is $35 --- but you know the costs were significantly higher as Chef Benjamin Lambert prepared a special off-the-menu lamb dish for the birthday girl, as well as seared Maine lobster and saffron risotto, complemented by organic wine, a 2008 Spottswoode Suauvignon Blanc. Lambert told The Washington Post that he'd been planning for the presidential meal for two weeks.<br />
<br />
That said, it's nice to know they're enjoying organic foods. And the wine was reasonably priced at $68 a crack. I'm sure a good time was had by all.<br />
<br />
Now, I don't begrudge anyone their birthday celebrations (I'm still in the throws of my own), but is there no end to the Obama's very public, and very extravagant spending during such rough economic times?<br />
<br />
Imagine the good things the cost of the rented room, dinner and bar bill could have done for people in Haiti...or even right in DC...and every state in our country.<br />
<br />
I dunno.....something isn't right when someone who promised so much to so many, and has since spent so much on himself and his family, and is preparing to sell so many of us down the river with socialized health care and the extinction of caring for our country's aging population. I would think the TBD readership would be very concerned about this, as it's our aging behinds -- and any others over the age of 40 years -- that are on the line here. And yes, the Obama's are over 40, but they will 'fiddle-dee-dee' their way down the yellow brick road on this one, because their health care, and that of their family, will be exempt from social health care....for life. A perk also enjoyed by house and senate members.<br />
<br />
I really want to respect these people, but their sensibilities and priorities are just a little skewed for my likeing. It's as if this extravagant spending (the $20,000 vacation rental) is being flaunted in the faces of so many who have lost their businesses, their jobs, their homes, their cars, their kid's education...it keeps getting worse for the people, but large corporations continue to be bailed out...so they can be government owned. Cha-ching!<br />
<br />
I just don't get a warm and fuzzy about things to come.<br />

<br />
Dear Mr. President,<br />
<br />
Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the "Patriotic Retirement Plan":<br />
<br />
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:<br />
<br />
1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.<br />
<br />
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.<br />
<br />
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis (largely) fixed.<br />
<br />
It can't get any easier than that!!<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes.<br />
<br />
Mr. President, while you're at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!<br />
<br />

<br />
The Wall Street Journal has published an opinion piece by US Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Kenneth Blackwell, and Kenneth Klukowski entitled, "Why the Health-Care Bills Are Unconstitutional".<br />
<br />
<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703278604574624021919432770.html?mod=rss_opinion_main" target="_blank">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703278604574624021919432770.html?mod=rss_opinion_main</a><br />
<br />
In particular, they offer three major arguments:<br />
1) The individual mandate falls outside of various Congressional powers typically used to justify the mandate -- such as the power to "tax and spend", the power to regulate interstate commerce, and the "general welfare" clause.<br />
<br />
2) The various state-specific deals that were cut with individual Senators to secure the 60 vote run afoul of the general welfare clause.<br />
<br />
3) The requirements that state governments establish insurance exchange violates federalism.<br />
(Read the full text of "Why the Health-Care Bills Are Unconstitutional".)<br />
<br />
I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable about Constitutional law to know whether such challenges would have merit.<br />
<br />
And I believe that any long-range effective opposition to ObamaCare will have to be based on fundamental moral and philosophical arguments, as opposed to more derivative Constitution-based arguments. But I suspect we will be hearing more about such legal arguments in the near future.VIP Treatment Under National Health Caretag:teebeedee.ning.com,2010-01-06:1991841:BlogPost:7235492010-01-06T08:17:08.000ZOCNaturalDochttps://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Kristy

<br />
But her take home point:<br />
National health care works great... so long as you're rich enough to afford the premium level of government insurance and to buy multiple additional private policies; so long as you have influential relatives; and so long as you're willing and able to brazenly bribe the doctors and bureaucrats who run the system.<br />
<br />
Nor are such problems isolated to Japan. Similar "queue jumping" is routine in Canada and other countries with socialized medicine.<br />
<br />
There's no reason to expect that the US will be immune to this problem either.Ben Stein's Confessiontag:teebeedee.ning.com,2010-01-05:1991841:BlogPost:7205542010-01-05T02:58:54.000ZOCNaturalDochttps://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Kristy

<br />
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.<br />
<br />
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.<br />
<br />
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.<br />

<br />
When he announced he was returning the masterminds of 9/11 to New York City to stand trial as ordinary criminals -- not war criminals -- and thus allow them the benefits from our system of jurisprudence, the mainstream media loved it and the people said it didn't matter.(Oh really? Go ask an FDNY FF, NYPD Cop, NY EMS, NY Port Authority Cop or Transit Worker, or a 9/11 Families member who was at the World Trade Center 9/11/2001 and see if it matters.)<br />
<br />
When he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State, people finally woke up, but it was too late.<br />
<br />
Any one of these things, in and of themselves does not really matter. But when you add them up one by one you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that our Obama is determined to make America over into a Marxist/Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this, do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ? Personally, I like happy endings.<br />
<br />
If you are an Obama Supporter, please recognize that you have elected a president who is a 'socialist'. There is simply no debate about these facts. But you need to seek the truth; you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. I did. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians and what have you, we all need to pull together. We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish. If you are a religious person, pray for our nation.<br />
<br />
Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy. Don't rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth. Search the internet. Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there as well, but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies. Newspapers are a dying breed. They are currently seeking a bailout from the government. Do you really think they are about to print the truth? Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he is currently waging an open war against. There must be a reason. He does not call them down on any specifics, and he has failed to refute any facts presented – because it is all true. If they lie, he should call them out on it but he doesn't. Please, find the truth, it will set you free.<br />
<br />
Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia or Iran; no, our biggest enemy is the current contingent of politicians in Washington DC led by the Progressive Left Liberals who support the previously mentioned things.<br />
<br />
Wake Up America! There's still time in 2010 to take back America and send a message LOUD and CLEAR to those who think "it doesn't matter."<br />
<br />
I happen to think "it does matter."<br />

This is a letter Jesus might write about what's become of Christmas. I didn't write this letter, but thought I'd share it with the group. It's no secret that Christmas is the only religious holiday that has been picked apart, seemingly in an effort to defeat/annihilate/decimate it. I've never heard Muslims, Jews, Quakers, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons or any other religious group who has been told they aren't allowed to speak their holiday well-wishing equivalent of "Merry Christmas" to another…
This is a letter Jesus might write about what's become of Christmas. I didn't write this letter, but thought I'd share it with the group. It's no secret that Christmas is the only religious holiday that has been picked apart, seemingly in an effort to defeat/annihilate/decimate it. I've never heard Muslims, Jews, Quakers, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons or any other religious group who has been told they aren't allowed to speak their holiday well-wishing equivalent of "Merry Christmas" to another person, or have their equivalent of a nativity scene banned from the display in the center of town, or their equivalent of Christmas Carols banned from schools --- hey, it's ALL education! And it seems this movement has picked up speed since 9/11. I thought the point was to get smarter as we got older. Become more open, accepting and tolerant of each other. Now I see things so skewed, they're either forbidden or blended to the point of no or unrecognizable tradition.<br />
<br />
That said, here's the letter:<br />
<br />
It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I wasn't actually born during this time of the year and that it was some of your<br />
predecessors who decided to celebrate My birthday on what was actually a time of pagan festival. Although I do appreciate being remembered anytime.<br />
<br />
How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My<br />
birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.<br />
<br />
Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on<br />
your own front lawn If all My followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.<br />
<br />
Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish:<br />
I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.<br />
<br />
If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth, here is my wish list. Choose something from it:<br />
<br />
1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time.<br />
<br />
2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.<br />
<br />
3. Instead of writing the President complaining about the cards his staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him that you'll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up. It will be nice hearing from you again.<br />
<br />
4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind<br />
them that I love them.<br />
<br />
5 Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.<br />
<br />
6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don't know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it<br />
could make the difference.<br />
<br />
7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry<br />
Christmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much money on that day they'd close and let their employees spend the day at home with their families<br />
<br />
8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary--especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My name.<br />
<br />
9. Here's a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. If you don't know them, buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you.<br />
<br />
10. Finally, if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do things in secret that you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that<br />
you are one of mine.<br />
<br />
Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above and get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball is<br />
now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember.<br />
<br />
I LOVE YOU,<br />
JESUS<br />
<br />

Additionally, she received an Outstanding Investigative Journalism Emmy in 2002 for a series on the Red Cross.<br />
<br />
In case you didn't realize it, Sharyl Attkisson is the investigative reporter behind the groundbreaking CBS News study that found H1N1 flu cases are NOT as prevalent as feared.<br />
<br />
In fact, they’re barely on the radar screen.<br />
<br />
How did this startling information come about, and why is the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) painting a different picture entirely? I spoke directly with Sharyl Attkisson to find out.<br />
<br />
Two Videos<br />
<br />
The first video is an interview Dr Joseph Mercola did with Sharyl about ten days ago and what the bulk of this article is based on.<br />
<br />
The second video is brand new and was done at noon yesterday in which I was videoed in the CBS studio in downtown Chicago. Sharyl was gracious enough to invite me to be on with Dr. Bernadine Healty, the former direction of the NIH. We both were in agreement about the swine flu and opposed to the stance the CDC is taking, but we had different views on mammograms.<br />
<br />
Please also watch the second interview as it is very entertaining.<br />

Issue 47, Nov. 23, 2009<br />
<br />
In late August, Desiree Jennings was a beautiful and athletic 26-year-old Washington Redskins cheerleader anxious for the upcoming Sunday excitement, but by the time the new season began in September, she was a crippled and hopeless spastic who could speak only with great difficulty and one syllable at a time. She had taken a seasonal flu shot and experienced what doctors called a “one-in-a-million” adverse neurological reaction and was left with an “incurable” affliction known as dystonia.<br />
<br />
Dystonia can affect just one muscle, a group of muscles or all of the muscles. Symptoms can include tremors and voice problems or a dragging foot. Researchers think that a problem in the part of the brain that handles messages about muscle contractions might cause dystonia. There is no cure, they say.<br />
<br />
Video reports were not only heart-rending but so weird as to cause many people to believe the young woman was faking because of the ambulatory antics caused by the disease. Medical reports had already confirmed that this was no fake.<br />
<br />
These films showed the pathetically crippled Jennings able to run forward normally and even walk backwards unimpaired, but whenever she slowed to a walking pace or attempted to walk forward, the bizarre symptoms immediately returned. She could also talk normally while running or walking backwards but could utter only single syllables while still.<br />
<br />
All the reports from the AMA doctors said that while Desiree’s neurological reaction to the vaccine was “extremely rare” and that “flu shots are safe,” she was doomed for life. Both Johns Hopkins and Fairfax hospitals confirmed that the dystonia was induced by the vaccination injection and that it was “irreversible.”<br />
<br />
They are wrong. Enter Dr. Rashid Buttar, who does not use the conventional cures of the medical world but rather natural remedies and nutrition. He noticed immediately that Desiree’s whole system was about to shut down. He couldn’t even examine her because by the time her husband brought her in, she was lapsing into seizure every minute or two and would actually stop breathing for 15 to 30 seconds. Buttar realized she was near death and, because she had not been eating, he first put her on an IV drip of nutrition to start rebuilding her immune system. He then noticed that the continual seizures subsided in a couple of hours.<br />
<br />
Next this doctor knew that the mercury and other offending foreign matter now in her bloodstream had to be removed, and he began this process by inserting another IV to remove the toxicity. Chelation is an unconventional therapy utilized over the past half century to remove plaque from the arteries to improve blood circulation. While thousands shout its praises, the American Medical Association has done its best to ban its use.<br />
<br />
Supporters of its use claim that the AMA refuses to view the positive results of chelation because to do so would force its eventual endorsement of something so inexpensive that it would interfere with its lucrative association with Big Pharma. This may also explain why the first Jennings story was suppressed by the mainstream media and why AFP may be th<a href="http://www.desireejennings.com/" target="_blank"></a>e only one in print media to report this heart-warming sequel.<br />
<br />
After a few more hours, Dr. Buttar was interrupted in his office by an excited nurse who yelled, “Doctor, come quickly!”<br />
<br />
The good doctor ran to his patient, fearing she had suffered another seizure but instead was elated to find that she was awake, coherent and carrying on a normal conversation with the nurses and her family. By the next day she was walking the corridors with limited affliction. (See the video at: <a href="http://www.desireejennings.com">www.desireejennings.com</a>.) The AMA has remained silent.<br />

Jimmy later interviewed Melissa Joan Hart and Louie Vito, the two cast-offs from last nite's "Dancing With the Stars" double elimination show, and asked if they had their flu shots. Louie called them "fake" and Melissa made a face, shook her head and didn't answer.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A New York state Supreme Court judge Friday granted a temporary restraining order against a requirement that all health care workers in the state get H1N1 flu vaccinations.<br />
<br />
New York wants all health workers to get flu vaccines.<br />
<br />
The state health commissioner had said the workers had to be vaccinated against both seasonal and H1N1 flu by November 30 or risk disciplinary action.<br />
<br />
The Public Employees Federation filed suit, and Judge Thomas McNamara on Friday granted the restraining order, which will be in effect at least until the State Supreme Court can review the case during a hearing scheduled for October 30.<br />
<br />
In a news release, federation President Kenneth Brynien called the decision "a big step in the right direction."<br />
<br />
Peter Banks, a council leader for the organization, added that its members "are not against the vaccination program; <b>what we are against is the mandating, putting conditions of service over an unproven vaccine</b>."<br />
<br />
A state health department release said officials "are confident that the regulation will be upheld." It cited a 1990 court ruling that rejected health care workers' opposition to mandatory rubella vaccinations.<br />
<br />
Banks noted that ruling "allows a philosophical or religious opt out," which he said is lacking in the emergency H1N1 regulation.<br />
<br />
The Public Employees Federation is the second largest state employers union. It has 15,000 members who work in health care, approximately 5,000 of whom would be directly affected by the vaccination regulation.<br />

<br />
In the article "Despite Debate, Reactions to the HPV Vaccine Rare", published in the August 19, 2009, Glove and Mail, it was revealed that 23 million doses of the HPV vaccine have been administered to young women in the United States, resulting in 32 deaths, 12, 424 adverse reactions, including 772 severe reactions (blood clots, pancreatic failure, motor neuron disease and anaphylaxis).<br />
<br />
According to Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Infomation Center, "The right to informed consent, to using a pharmaceutical product that carries (a warning of) the right of injury or death is a human right, and this young woman should not be denied the fight to become a US citizen simply because she does not want to be required to take this vaccine asa condition of becoming a US citizen. HPV infections is almost entirely preventable with Pap smear screens, which have been a routine part of health care in the US since the 1960's. It is absolutely unjustified to force women mammograms in this country to use a pharmaceutical product like Gardasil vaccine that carries risks that are not totally known yet."<br />
