Finally Someone Stands Up and Says It

Gov. Bobby Jindal – Ban Flights From Ebola Countries

It seems like the most obvious things take a long time to filter their way through Washington, DC. As is often the case, a Republican governor took the lead in speaking out about a national security issue and a need for action at the federal level.

On Friday, Bobby Jindal, the Governor of Louisiana voiced his concern about the emerging Ebola outbreak in the United States, stating his position that Obama should immediately restrict travel to the U.S. from “Ebola stricken” nations.
“We should stop accepting flights from countries that are Ebola stricken. Even countries in Africa have cut back on or stopped accepting flights from countries with Ebola outbreaks.”
"It  it was ‘unlikely’ that Ebola would reach the U.S. Well, it has, and we need to protect our people. But the Obama Administration keeps saying they won’t shut down flights. They instead say we should listen to ‘the experts.’ In fact, they said it would be counterproductive to stop these flights.”
“That statement defies logic. How exactly would stopping the entry of people potentially carrying the Ebola virus be counterproductive? This seems to be an obvious step to protect public health in the United States.”
Any type of restriction on the open access of our country to anyone around the globe is met with resistance by the open-borders, end of American sovereignty regime. If Americans get sick and die, it’s just the price we pay for our fundamental transformation. Protecting the American public is not a priority for this regime, it never has been and it never will be. Protecting and advancing their agenda is the primary concern.

Look Who Turns 60 Today....

Happy Birthday Reverend Al

We at times don't have the slightest idea what you're saying,
and most of the time think you don't know either


But because of you're valiant defense of the President with the gusto of a used car salesman and teleprompter skills second to none, America is willing to overlook your comments on Jews, Homos, Mormons, Crackers and Tawana Brawley, denial of acting as government rat informant and of tax evasions charges, as tens-of-hundreds of loyal viewers watch you nightly on MSNBC as your mouth frequently outruns it's supply lines and you march gallantly off a cliff into broadcast history.

Labor Force Participation Lowest Since Carter Administration

While the President and his supporters may love that the official unemployment numbers released today by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics for September; the lowest monthly report since July of 2008. But the devil is in the details and are much more ominous.

What’s bad about the 5.9 percent official unemployment rate? Further into the BLS repot, it’s noted the labor force participation rate dropped to 62.7 percent. That’s also a record of sorts, but not something to celebrate. The labor force participation rate has not been that low since February of 1978! This translates to 92.6 million Americans NOT in the workforce.

No wonder that official rate is so low. But there’s trouble evident in the factor that really counts. The alternative U-6 unemployment rate — the rate that includes the unemployment, underemployment and those who aren’t looking for work because they have given up — is double the official rate at 11.8 percent.

Not even the President’s most ardent supporters can deny that the economy, and the jobless numbers, rest on precarious footing.  The radical left-wing Center for American Progress noted “beneath the top line numbers, [the job market] still has a long way to go before it returns to historically healthy conditions.”

Ten Buck Friday

During the 2010 midterms, conservative bloggers united in a movement called “Ten Buck Friday”. The concept behind TBF was to encourage a contribution of $10 each week to select campaigns to help elect fiscal conservatives to Congress. And is you rememberthat was the year that Republicans handed "The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer" an "embarrassing shellacking".

Republicans need just six seats to oust the corrupt Dingy Harry Reid as majority leader and put the fool back in his place. Every Friday between now and November 4th we are asking our readers to strongly consider contributing $10 to the campaign of the candidate(s) we have highlighted that week.
 
Word is, one of our chosen candidates,  Joni Ernst, now has a 6 pt. lead on her competitor in Iowa. We need to help keep the ball rolling toward November.

I give a special appeal to donate to two campaigns this week. Those of Dr.  Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, and Tom Cotton of Arkansas, both leading in the polls but within the margin of error. It is of the up most importance we defeat Senators Mary Landrieu and Mark Pryor.  

As with Landrieu and her family political machine of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas is the son of former Gov. and U.S. Senator Dave Pryor, and allied with Prezzy 42 and Hillary Clinton.  Pryor and Landrieu are considered two of the most vulnerable incumbent U.S. Senators and why it is important to support with our contributions the Cassidy and Cotton campaigns, or if you wish, any of the others listed below.

Contribute to Dan Sullivan  Here
Contribute to Tom Cotton Here
Contribute to Joni Ernst Here
Contribute to Bill Cassidy Here
Contribute to Thom Tillis Here
 

(If you mark your contribution as "Ten Buck Friday", they'll see the blogosphere give them a little bump.)

Bend Over and Smile America......The Next Big Bailout.



Know what? The Republicans had a chance to vote on a repeal of the “risk corridor” bailout for the giant insurance companies but House leadership, Boehner, didn’t let the repeal come up for a vote. It likely would have been killed in the Senate if the measure passed, but now we’ll never know. The potential bailout would have at least gotten some attention.

If you don’t believe that the GOP, at least a big part, is absolutely for big government this is a perfect example of how it is. Leadership sided with the big business over the taxpayers, for the thousandth time.

Boehner shows his true colors again. Really, he doesn’t even try to hide them these days.
"Conservative activists are complaining that the real motive for killing a vote was to avoid ruffling the feathers of the health insurance lobby by ending the ObamaCare insurance industry safety net.
Conservative lawmakers also fear that in the anticipated lame-duck session in December, Republicans will allow the Obama administration a de facto blank check to make payments to insurance companies that lose money on ObamaCare policies without congressional approval."
The guarantee against losses on ObamaCare enrollees encourages insurers to toss sound underwriting standards out the window......"

Blaming the Rise of ISIS on Lack of Intelligence

"The United States military and intelligence community have learned a lot over the past decade of conflict. Our commander in chief, unfortunately, has not. Since the start of his administration, President Barack Obama has ignored his generals and the intelligence community. Over the past few weeks, he has half-heartedly pursued a strategy that destines us to fail in our mission, and over the past three days, he and his White House have lied to prove otherwise. To those who wear our nation’s uniform, or serve in her intelligence community, that’s insult — and injury."Joseph Miller, Daily Caller

The Strange Disappearance of Kim Jong #un

via BabalĂș 
Now, this is what you call "breaking" news....
Apparently, Kim Jong Un is so short, so overweight and so vain that his use of high heels caused him to facture both ankles. Yes, if this story is true, the portly North Korean dictator simply wobbled a bit too unsteadily on his heels. Next thing you know, gravity did what it does best: snap! snap! 

According to some sources, the Not-So-Little Little Emperor has undergone surgery to repair both fractures and is now recuperating from the ordeal. 
This bizarre story involving "Cuban heels" -- yeah, blame it all on something Cuban -- explains his recent disappearance from the public eye. (According to Wikipedia, high heels on men's shoes are known as "Cuban heels.")
That such preposterous footwear should be linked to Cuba seems wrong. The high heel was invented by none other than another height-challenged monarch: King Louis XIV of France, in the 17th century.
Anyway, questions of attribution aside, it seems that roly-poly Kim Jong Un takes a fall every time something Cuban shows up in his life. Last year it was the Chon Chong Gang Sugary Missile shipment from Cuba. This year it's a pair of "Cuban" heels.
Perhaps he should reciprocate by sending Raul Castro a pair of Korean shoes with stiletto heels. No, wait, Raul probably owns hundreds of pairs already. Maybe he should just send him some extra-spicy Kim Chee, so he can end up like his brother Fidel.

Exclusive Photo Preview: Moochelle O. Visits 'THE CHEW '

New York (MFNS)-The First Lady, Michelle Obama was in New York  last weekend to tape 2 segments of the popular show cooking 'The Chew', slated to run this Friday, October 3rd. on ABC.  

Middle Finger News has obtained exclusive production video screen-shots of her up-coming appearance from sources behind the scenes of the show. 

As always, wherever the First Lady makes an appearence, the audience greets Mrs. O. enthusiastically, and the Chew audience were thrilled to see the nation's school lunch menu lady and wife of the President in person.
   

Looked absolutely stunning in her tan fitted slacks and lace-up brown blouse with gold chiffon fart-flap early warning system she also wore at a recent photo-op,  Mrs. Obama talked at length to the Chew Crew of proper nutrition and of her love of slaving over a hot stove to cook healthy meals for Barry and the first gals.


The recipe of the day was Mrs. Obama's secret ingredients for her favorite summer evening family dish, a rich high protein, low calorie luscious 'Garden Snail and Ethiopian Rainbow Toad Egg Soup' with a delicately roasted Botswana Dandelion Garnish. 



Mrs. O. severed up the dish to the Crew with a side of chilled pickled arugula with  ground African Ubuntu Nut seasoning, smothered in a creamy sweet pisto goat spline dressing. It was a big hit.


In the second segment the First Lady made her  favorite desert treats, ' Repollo y Fajita pastelitos de carne ' with free range yak cream cheese icing. But looking a little green around the gills and stuffed to the rafters from the main course, the Chew Crew decided to pass on the sweet treats.
