FRESNO BEE LIES TO GET HMONG EMOTIONAL APPROVAL

FRESNO BEE GOES FOR RACISM AND LIES TO CUT MINORITIES

The Fresno Bee printed that the "Obama Administration" denied General Vang Pao the honor of burial at Arlington Cemetery..

The TRUTH is that President Obama's administration had nothing to do with the denial that was presented at General Vang Pao's funeral on February 5th. The decision to deny General Vang Pao was based on a decision by the white generals who oversee the military cemetery. President Obama does not select who is buried at Arlington, he is busy with a few actual wars.

The Fresno Bee struck a low blow to inject racial hatred against President Obama into the decision. Also it shows that these valley republican newspapers are prone to lie in order to get public sentiment on their side. We certainly can not trust what we read in the Fresno Bee or the Modesto Bee.

The TRUTH is that the burial issue will eventually come before President Obama, after the Hmongs appeal this decision by the generals. Amazing as it may seem, President Obama does not even handle the first appeal, so the next decision will also be made by a military review committee.  Eventually, the issue will reach the President - but it will be months because the military has a policy of following the "chain of command" and you can not circumvent the process.

The Hmong community understands the truth and will not be deceived by cheap political antics by the Fresno Bee.

Obama Works to Keep Us Healthy

President Obama's appointment of Vivek Murthy to the Health Care Prevention Advisory Group has emphasized medical prevention as an important national priority.

CHALLENGER MEMORIES

We remember the explosion of the CHALLENGER. Killed on-board were; Gregory Jarvis, Payload Specialist; Christa McAuliffe, TEACHER; Ron McNair, BLACK, Mission Specialist, Ellison Onizuka, ASIAN, Mission Specialist; Judith Resnik, Mission Specialist; Dick Scobee, Commander; Mike Smith, Pilot.

Thanks for their service and our sympathy to their families and friends

WE SUPPORT OUR VETS and THEIR FAMILIES

Thanks Oprah for the great show about Cory and Jenny. Cory is a war survivor, but, due to a bomb injury, he lost his sight, his speech and his mobility. In addition, he has a huge temple deformity. Yet, the family, including his 2 toddler children, must move on.

It is true most people, especially men will avoid injured or ill friends and relatives. Oprah pointed out that you can help by providing yard services, home cleaning services, child help, validation, cheerful talk, etc. In addition, send some money periodically. Don't ignore our wounded soldiers.

Download your videos to facebook: "Central Valley Wounded Soldiers" and introduce our wounded vets to us.

OBAMA STATE OF UNION ADDRESS

President Obama hit all of the topics in his State of the Union Address tonight.

While the President did a great job, it was funny to watch the audience in high-def. Naturally, we all waited for the Boehner "crying moment," and it came after  the President noted the working-class backgrounds of Biden and himself.. Boehner's lips quivered, as he pictured himself sweeping floors as a youth, but he managed to halt the big bawling scene. Boehner has practiced. Boehner's tie appeared pink/red - a girlie-man?

I noted SC Justice Ginsberg seemed asleep at one point, center front. I thought she was going to roll forward. But the President mentioned supporting our troops, and the Ginsberg sleeping moment was gone, although she still seemed slow.

I noted a large lump on the left side of John McCain's neck - was this video trickery, or does McCain have a neck growth? We'll have to wait and see.

THE DOCTOR IS IN

No longer will patients have to wait 30 to 50 days for HMO and PPO doctor visits. Now, due to new laws, the patients must be seen with in 10 days or around 15 days for a specialist.

REGIS PHILBEN RETIRES

REGIS PHILBIN will RETIRE

After 28 years, REGIS PHILBIN will RETIRE from his morning show around the end of summer.  Regis has had a lot of health problems in recent years and now he has decided to retire from his daily show. The show only consumes one hour or two of his day, but he must be in New York. So, I guess he and his wife, Joy, may be wanting to get closer to the grandkids and enjoy their full family. Kelly will get a new co-host which could include he husband Mark (Nah - husband -wife teams are too tense and boring), Bryant Gumbel (Nah I don;t want constant Martha's Vineyard party talk), Probst (Nah), The American Idol guy (Nah - he is everywhere), and others. Any favorites you want to suggest? It could be a female replacement. I always enjoy Jenny McCarthy, Paula Abdul....

OPRAH'S AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE - Part 1

OPRAH'S AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE -  Part 1

Oprah takes over 300 "Ultimate Viewers" and around 200 staffers to Australia for fun, adventure, food, and education. Her views of the Great Coral Reef were SPECTACULAR. We were surprised to see Koala bears mating.

Oprah visited Uluru, a  natural sandstone site in the northern territory - described as a powerful spiritual landmark - possibly an ancient sea floor now revealed. After exploration, the group had a silent moment of gratitude and prayer.

Aborigine leaders offered handmade gifts and a tour. It was not until 1968 that aborigines were first counted as people, although they have been there for centuries. (Note: American Blacks could not visit Australia until 1970 - they were not allowed off boats or airplanes.)  In the evening the aboriginal women performed a traditional dance.

Tasmania with farms and beaches were visited...and naturally a Tasmanian devil.

Melbourne, second largest city, was a mob scene at Federation Square. Julia Gillard, the first female Prime Minister, sees herself as a role-model to girls. The crowd in Federation square was almost all white - I saw a few Africans.

Tomorrow: Part 2 of 4 Watch Oprah and Gayle climb atop a huge bridge.


Sympathy to Southern Queensland victims of the recent high-level  flooding.

STOP THE COMCAST / NBC MERGER

Help LORAINE GOODWIN & AL FRANKEN Prevent Comcast/NBC Merger!

If you're concerned about corporate control of the media, Senator Al Franken needs you to take two minutes to view his video and sign the petition to the Federal Communications Committee objecting to the merger of Comcast with NBC.  The FCC and Department of Justice may be about to approve this deal. This would have serious consequences for consumers across America.  We don't have much time.  Pass the vido link on to others:

A new report that showed a nearly 3 percentage point jump – from 18.9 percent to 21.7 percent – in California’s high school dropout rate from 2007-08 to 2008-09 triggered alarmed headlines around the state. Locally, however, the concern had an additional dimension: Data showing San Diego County’s dropout rate increased from 17.1 percent to 20.4 percent from 2007-08 to 2008-09 may not be accurate because figures for San Diego Unified, by far the county’s largest school district, were in doubt. Why? The district’s dropout rate inexplicably soared from 9.2 percent to 23.5 percent.

DREAM TURNS TO DUST

DREAM TURNS TO DUST


Today 12/18/20, Congress voted down the Dream Act. This Act provided children who were born in the U.S. by foreign parents, a pathway to citizenship. The Act stated the children had to complete two years of education post-high school or two years of military service.
Supporters say they will bring back the Dream Act in 2011 under the new Congress.

MADOFF SCAM VICTIMS FIND MONEY

Jeffery Picower, perhaps a secret partner of Maddoff was paid billions. Jeffery, age 67, died in his Palm Beach mansion swimming pool last year, Today, his widow, Barbara, has announced to federal courts she would return $7.2 BILLION DOLLARS that Jefferey got from Madoff. Madoff, of course, is in prison. Jeffery was under investigation for his part in the Ponzi scheme.

The return of the BILLIONS means Madoff's victims may get 1/2 or more of their investment losses back as a settlement. Some victims have taken jobs as maids due to Madoff's scams. Don't cry for Barbara. Her husbands invetments on the money increased their booty thousands of times. Maybe she should shell out more.

ELZABETH EDWARDS FAREWELL TO A NINJA WARRIOR

ELZABETH EDWARDS FAREWELL TO A NINJA WARRIOR



Elizabeth Edwards ended a exciting life story on December 7th. At the young age of 61, her body could take no more. As a young woman, Elizabeth took the hard road of college and then law school. She had her own legal practice. She was clearly a role model and a pioneer for the education of women. Her daughter also became an attorney. Her oldest son died. In her late forties, she decided to have two more children - perhaps this was a stimulus to her eventually developing her fatal breast cancer.

Elizabeth was a ninja. She could swing the sword and dodge an attack. Her beauty in her youth is undeniable and she carried her beauty and grace into her final years.

Unfortunately, with all of her accomplishments, she will be most remembered for her battle at home between her, her husband John and his sexual partner who John paid with our hard-earned public money. Yes, John was really a "John" paying for sex.
Confronted with her cancer Elizabeth came out swinging. She was fierce and she focused on the goal - beat the cancer and live for her family. She was not a victim. She learned to live with the diagnosis and the numerous negative comments she received from well-wishers and the media. Elizabeth was certain she was winning. She felt all were really on her side . She never expected her biggest opponent was lurking in the shadows, next to her on a daily basis and feeding her lies. In fact, she bravely committed to continuing in the wife role to have John elected as President of the United States. She told all of us he was honest and the best man for the job. Little did she know the truth. And it was all about to play out on televison - no where to hide. No dignity left. Humiliation as a wife, mother and work partner. She was supposed to know John thoroughly…she was his wife. Sneaking, surreptitiously John crept and her soul and spirit were exposed and vulnerable...sharing the house, the food, the bed and usurping her energy - energy she needed to fight the cancer.
When the possibility of an affair arose, Elizabeth acted, backed by her soul mate’s reassurance, to deny the possibility of such betrayal. She assured us John was honest and honorable. The sexual partner wanted some recognition, so she and John met in hotels to enjoy their baby. I’m sure she was taking secret pictures to ensure she had the evidence, if needed, to entitle her to a significant future income.

When Elizabeth spoke with Oprah on TV, Elizabeth tried to separate herself from the problem, shew was the mom and wife. She resented this other woman tryign to come in and claim her life. Elizabeth said she worked hard for her life and this new woman would not be allowed to just come in and “takeover.” However, the demon spirit had let this other woman in. The woman could not have come in unless someone close to Elizabeth betrayed her in her time of greatest need. John opened the door and began a series of lies that created a web that sucked the life from Elizabeth. Down, but not dead, Elizabeth rose. Injured and breathless, she stood weakly on her feet…she was on her own and her kids would be her only supporters. Oprah confronted John in the hallway of his house and questioned him about the affair. John had the look of hate and disgust as he tried to answer Oprah’s questions with his trained political grace. His eyes became squinty as he looked at Oprah, casting a negative ray towards the talk-show hostess. Oprah acted as if she did not notice, but if he could have, John would have given her a left to the head. He was still playing the southern gentleman role. Meanwhile, Elizabeth struggled to grab onto any shreds of dignity she could find.

Not yet finished, the other woman moves into a house near Elizabeth and John’s home on an island in South
Carolina. Demons all and carrying an innocent baby…or a future mini demon. Only time will tell.

By now Elizabeth is gasping for air, crawling, begging for family support. "Tell this woman not to move next door on our island" - John is paying.

Then the sex tapes. The other woman was gathering evidence against John and she, a professional photographer, had been taking videos of John having sex. These tapes were found by John’s campaign manager, who became involved in the cover-up. The campaign manager was dependent on John for income, so he told John he would claim to be the father of the baby and let the women hide at his house during the pregnancy. His wife agreed to the scheme. They decided to keep the tapes just in case John tried to abandon them in the end. Of course, John, as the demon, did just that and the existence of the tapes became public. John’s sexual partner claimed the tapes were stolen from the house; the campaign manager claimed the tapes were thrown in the trash and retrieved by his wife during a clean-up outside of her room.

Elizabeth’s story is not very unusual if you watch Jerry Springer or the Maury Povitch Show. It was unusual in that we saw every bit play out in public, because of the election coverage, and the parties were wealthy, educated, people in high level jobs…running for U.S. President. How bizarre.

It was not a surprise that Elizabeth died, but an honor to her strength and will to live so long and fight for every inch of respect she could gather.

As a woman, we understand her story and we pray for her soul. She is now with her son.

John and his girlfriend are probably off partying. For them too the ordeal is ending and, like Camilla Parker Bowles, after the death of Diana, the two of them can now devise a cover story and continue in a fake shroud of respect and normalcy.

God Bless You Elizabeth. We women will not forget.

President Obama Chooses to Help Middle Class

The first repercussions from the November General election are starting to surface

All Democrats support tax cuts for middle class Americans. But Democrats do not support welfare for the multi millionaires and billionaires in the form of tax cuts and relief from estate taxes for the super rich.

Immediately after the election the Republicans ran back to Washington, DC and proclaimed Americans have shown, via votes, that they want multimillionaires and billionaires to have an unlimited extension of tax cuts - and no discussion available because more Republicans are coming in 2011. To hold the President hostage, the Republicans said if the super wealthy did not get tax cuts, all people earning less than one million dollars will have their taxes raised too and those workers who were unemployed because of the economic crash caused by bankers, Wall Street and industrial executives, will no get unemployment compensation. While workers lost their jobs and benefits, most of those tycoons who caused the financial crash walked off with big federal payouts, often recouping 100% of their pay, benefits and bonuses with our dollars.

Now the Republicans are holding the middle class and our Democratic representatives hostage. President Obama has promised to end the tax breaks for the extremely wealthy, but the Republicans promise to ‘stick it” to the average American if he does. President Obama and all recognized economists see the economy improving, so the President does not want to stop middle class growth and spending by taking more family income via taxes. Democrats agree the middle class needs tax cuts and a growing economy with job creation. We have a $14 trillion national debt and the Republicans are forcing our government to increase the national debt by potentially $700 billion dollars and more - that means borrowing more money from China or the middle east - and less control of our government. Meanwhile, the mega wealthy who are getting these tax breaks are spending their money in China, Hong Cong, Taiwan, Pakistan and other foreign countries. Yes, and some of that money funnels back to corrupt officials, Al Qaeda and the Taliban and eventually is used against us in the U.S. in various ways including the illegal drug industry, and against our soldiers. Many U.S. soldiers are killed by weapons bought through the American money chain. The wealthy sell guns to all foreign combatants and the weapons kill our middle-class soldiers.(Not many wealthy fighting in Afghanistan)

The Republican behavior is anti-American and reprehensible and we will have to deal with these issues over the next two years. President Obama has chosen to not punish the American middle class - so he gave the mega wealthy their demanded tax cuts in exchange for middle class tax cuts and an 18 month continuation of unemployment benefits.
We will be debating the tax code and the national debt into 2012, but we must not allow a repeat recession, so the deal to continue to help the middle class must go through now because there will be more Republicans in Congress in January.

President Obama was given a Hobson’s choice. He chose to help the middle class and help the economy. The wealthy billionaires will ride the backs of you and me like drunken cowboys and we can only watch them run off with our money. But, the Central Valley voted to continue this Republican activity for the next two years, so I assume Central Valley Republicans are happy for the Republican tax cut victory.

Never has the gap between rich and poor been wider. It is the best of times (for the rich), it is the worst of times - eventually we taxpayers must pay in taxes for this booty to the wealthy - and America becomes weaker by the increased national debt caused by Republicans.

Loraine GoodWIN the Candidate Educated and Right for Congress...ELECT Loraine GoodWIN

Denham has said if he is elected he will go to DC and fight to get rid of health care. This will be a long battle and, since he has lost sight of the real problems, we will all lose as the insurance companies steadily increase premiums everyw months.

I do not want to encourage 2 years of endless party-based bickering.

Elect GoodWIN to Congress. GoodWIN will work for you by focusing only on CD 19 to increase jobs, cash and credit for businesses, improve education, and improve health care.

GoodWIN lives and works in CD 19. You would not elect someone from an outside community to your city council!!!

VOTE LORAINE GOODWIN for Congress GoodWIN  GoodWIN  GoodWIN GoodWIN

Modesto Bee and Fresno Bee Lie to Confuse Voters and Get More Money...Vote for GOODWIN FOR CONGRESS

Don't let the rich newspaper owners tell you how to vote. They have health insurance and lots of cash. Vote for your own families and vote for jobs, financial reform, and health care.

We need to stop the fraud and abuse by financial institutions. Banks can make money by stealing businesses from families. Newspaper owners are invested in banks and make money when banks take your property.

Denham has not helped the valley in his 8 years in office. Do not elect Denham, a failed representative who refuses to debate issues with district residents. Denham will not disclose his financial interests with various California tribes, who wish to compete with an advantage over with tax-laden businesses. (Tribal businesses are tax exempt and can undercut regular business prices.)


Denham has not increased jobs over the past 3 years since the Wall Street downfall. Denham has done nothing to help residents with jobs or foreclosures. Elect a representative, Loraine Goodwin, who actually lives and works in our district and knows our concerns. GOODWIN will not lie about her whereabouts to avoid voters as Denham did when he lied twice to avoid election debates in Chowchilla and Fresno.
ELECT GOODWIN TO CONGRESS. To elect Denham is a crime in itself.
