Your Singhs today (Canada-US border edition)

It must be apparent by now, even to someone as tone-deaf as Canadian Prime Minister "Junior" Trudeau, that if he's going to honour his pledge made at Mar-a-Lago (see previous post) to tighten up security on the border between Canada and the US of A, he's going to have to confront his great and good friends in the Sikh community.

Because M Trudeau depends for electoral success on the multitudes of Singhs -- all Sikhs are Singhs -- in the `burbs of Vancouver and Toronto, his law enforcement minions and the lickspittle media tend to downplay or outright ignore the involvement of numerous graduates of the Singh School of Truck Driving (see WWW passim) in the cross-border traffic in cocaine, guns and other contraband.

You don't believe? Consider this report from the Illinois State Police, released yesterday. According to the press release, two Ontario men are facing charges after troopers seized 540 kilograms of cocaine from a tractor-trailer which they stopped on Interstate 80 on the afternoon of November 29th.

The cops were conducting a commercial vehicle inspection on a Volvo tractor-trailer on I-80 in Henry County. "During the commercial motor vehicle inspection, the trooper observed numerous indicators of criminal activity," the news release read. "A subsequent search revealed suspected cocaine. The total approximate weight of the cocaine located was 1146 pounds and has an approximate street value of more than $40 million dollars."

The accused, who police said are both residents of Ontario, have been identified as 27-year-old Vanshpreet Singh and 36-year-old Manpreet Singh. They have been charged with possession of cocaine, possession with intent to deliver cocaine, and cocaine trafficking. 

Homeland Security investigators have been called in to figure out how the Singhs and their very large truck got into the US of A without being challenged at the World's Longest Undefended Border (TM). Is a puzzlement. Perhaps if the border were properly defended, such things wouldn't happen.

Illinois or Oklahoma -- which is the better place to live?

Agent 6 passes along a comparison [dates from 2009, but still valid. Ed.] of life and legislation in two states of "middle America" -- one run by liberal Democrats, the other by conservative Republicans. Which one would you rather live in?

ILLINOIS - Some interesting data on the State of Illinois

There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working.
Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the USA, averaging $110,000 per year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income.
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

Perhaps the US should pull out of Chicago? Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago, 221 killed in Iraq. AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

Here's the power structure responsible for Chicago and Illinois:
President: Barack Obama * Senator: Dick Durbin * House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. * Governor: Pat Quinn * House leader: Mike Madigan * Attorney General: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) * Mayor: Rahm Emanuel (Obama's best bud)
All Democrats. Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago!
Of course, they're all blaming each other. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

Cook County (Chicago) sales tax - 10.25% - highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he's going to "fix" Washington politics for us?

George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in prison.
He was replaced by Rob Blagoyavic who is - that's right - also in prison.
And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago, because he is fighting to not be sent to... that's right, prison.

The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.

As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does. Don't forget Detroit - another good example!
"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

OKLAHOMA - may soon have plenty of new residents!

Oklahoma is the only state [in which] Obama did not win even one county in the [2008] election. And look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!

[Oklahoma's legislature] passed, 37 to 9, an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. HB1330 The feds in DC, along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values.
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become American citizens. HB1804. They all scattered. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals in the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. SB1102. [Nancy] Pelosi said it was unconstitutional.
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma a sovereign state, not under federal government directives, joining Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. HJR1003. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money; it appears the South is about to rise up again!

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals. The Liberals didn't like it --But... Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really simple.

By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either
Guess what... who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

Please don't write to me complaining that the statistics are dated or that some of the Oklahoma legislation has been repealed or struck down. I know that. And I said at the beginning this rant has been on the Net since 2009. It's a comparison still worth considering.

US bishop rips Obama, calls for "heroic Catholicism"

Daniel Jenky, Bishop of the Diocese of Peoria IL, told 500 men who attended the diocese’s annual men’s march and Mass that "the days in which we live now require heroic Catholicism, not casual Catholicism."

Noting that "the world, the flesh, and the devil will always love their own, and will always hate us," Bishop Jenky went on to say: "We can no longer be Catholics by accident, but instead [must] be Catholics by conviction. In our own families, in our parishes, where we live and where we work ... we must be bold witnesses to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We must be a fearless army of Catholic men, ready to give everything we have for the Lord, who gave everything for our salvation."

You can read the full text of Bishop Jenky's homily here. He mentioned President Obama three times. "In clear violation of our First Amendment rights," said the bishop, "Barack Obama with his radical, pro-abortion and extreme secularist agenda now seems intent on following a similar path" as other governments throughout history who "have tried to force Christians to huddle and hide only within the confines of their churches."

Will the anti-Christian president -- and the cafeteria Catholics like Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi who only follow the Faith if it doesn't cost them votes -- prevail against the Church of God? Bishop Jenky thinks not.

The Church survived and even flourished during centuries of terrible persecution, during the days of the Roman Empire. The Church survived barbarian invasions. The Church survived wave after wave of Jihads. The Church survived the age of revolution. The Church survived Nazism and Communism. And in the power of the Resurrection, the Church will survive the hatred of Hollywood, the malice of the media, and the mendacious wickedness of the abortion industry.

The Church will survive the entrenched corruption and sheer incompetence of our Illinois state government, and even the calculated disdain of the President of the United States, his appointed bureaucrats in HHS, and of the current majority of the federal Senate. May God have mercy on the souls of those politicians who pretend to be Catholic in church, but in their public lives, rather like Judas Iscariot, betray Jesus Christ by how they vote and how they willingly cooperate with intrinsic evil.

As Christians we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, but as Christians we must also stand up for what we believe and always be ready to fight for the Faith.

To which Walt can only add "Amen."
