Like, if you're a police department, you donate some marijuana to inmates at the local state prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh sure, Edinburg police are saying it was &lt;a href="http://www.themonitor.com/articles/inmates-32466-donated-police.html"&gt;all a mistake&lt;/a&gt;, and no way did they intend to give 25 pounds of pot to inmates by cleverly concealing it in a truckload of bananas, but come on, man -- it's the Valley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're just surprised they went to the trouble of hiding it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The McAllen Monitor reports that Edinburg police sent a truckload of bananas and other fruit to the TDCJ's Segovia Unit, a common practice since the fruit had been confiscated in a drug raid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 1,000 pounds of pot was confiscated in that incident, police said. Trouble is, there was apparently 1,025 pounds of pot in the truck.&lt;a name="more"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The weed was discovered while inmates working in the kitchen were unpacking the delivery. In what must be considered either the Upset of the Year, or evidence that prison truly can be redemptive, one inmate reported the pot to guards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That inmate was later killed in the shower. (Not really.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We always inspect those donations before they are delivered," Edinburg police chief Quirino Munoz told the Monitor. "I guess these drugs were inadvertently missed by the officers and our drug dogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yep. We're buying it.

The Federal Reserve is not an agent in the U.S. government. It is about as Federal as Federal Express.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it was a U.S. government agency, why does the U.S. government (us taxpayers) pay back the Federal Reserve with interest!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holy Shit! But does anyone see whats going on here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is giving power to the Federal Reserve regulate and control private banks. For those of you who don't remember, Obama appointed Former President of the New York Federal Reserve Timothy Geithner to the position of the U.S. Treasury Secretary. Now, Obama and Timothy Geithner are creating the opportunity for the Federal Reserve to take over banks for free just as the Unions took a large percentange of GM and Chrysler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the Federal Reserve is the Office of Inspector General (OIG) which conducts independent and objective audits, inspections, evaluations, investigations, and other reviews related to programs and operations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board). This would be the "watchdog."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But how effective would it be if the Inspector General could be fired by President Obama or Timothy Geithner when Obama fired &lt;a href="http://www.cncsig.gov/" target="_blank"&gt;Inspector General of the Corporation for National and Community Service&lt;/a&gt;, Gerald Walpin when he investigated Obama's buddy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21923035-8003660524214550010?l=edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/8003660524214550010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21923035&amp;postID=8003660524214550010' title='30 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21923035/posts/default/8003660524214550010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21923035/posts/default/8003660524214550010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/obama-to-steal-banks-as-he-did-gm.html' title='Obama to steal the banks as he did GM'/><author><name>Earn My Vote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13758185691985504424</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04493356347483408283'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>30</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21923035.post-7865204753551318601</id><published>2009-06-15T11:57:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-15T12:15:23.021-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barak Obama'/><title type='text'>God-King Obama</title><content type='html'>As stated in "&lt;a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jdboreing/2009/06/14/hero-worship-and-god-kings/"&gt;Hero-Worship and God-Kings&lt;/a&gt;,"  Many people see President of the United States Obama as a "super-human, almost religious figure, and placing so many of their hopes on his shoulders, they blind themselves to the reality of the man, both his better qualities as well as his more troubling ones."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further, "any accusation of wrong-doing or hubris is instantly and angrily rejected by the faithful as an attack on a man who is simply above petty criticism.

One month ago oil was trading at $30 per barrel. What will be Obama's excuse? He inherited this from Bush. Wrong!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is appeasing the Muslim Oil Producing Nations. Yes, you can say Bush and Halliburton and Cheney and Republicans but what you won't say is Muslim and Obama and Middle East and rising gas prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I wouldn't be surprised if we're testing $80 in a week or two," said one analyst, while &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/bp"&gt;BP&lt;/a&gt;'s chief executive, Tony Hayward, questioned whether $90 could be the "right" value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opec would not raise supply at current oil prices but did not rule it out "if it reached $100", said Kuwait's oil minister, Sheikh Ahmad al-Abdullah al-Sabah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexei Miller, chairman of the Russian &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/energy"&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt; group Gazprom, raised the stakes further when he reiterated last year's estimates of $250 a barrel. "This forecast has not become reality yet, given that the [credit] crisis gained momentum and exerted a powerful impact on the global energy market.

Gaffney Jr. gives several points on why Obama may be a Muslim. I will touch on one. In his recent trip to Cairo, Egypt, Obama stated that he looked forward to the day ". . . when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) joined in prayer."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quaint enough, but why the "peace be unto them?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As stated in "&lt;a href="http://www.nuradeen.com/Reflections/IslamAnAlternative1.htm"&gt;Islam -- An Alternative to Chaos&lt;/a&gt;," Muslims believe emphatically in the existence and the message of the earlier Prophets ‑and Muslims are cautioned by God in the Qur`an not to mention the Prophets names without adding, "Peace be Unto Them".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This not only applies to Abraham and Moses but particularly in the case of Jesus whom the Muslims call: "Isa‑Ibnu Maryam", (Jesus the son of Mary) who is revered as "Ruh‑Allah" the Essence (soul) of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a lengthy Chapter in the Qur`an entitled Maryam (Mary)‑ and For your information the Qur`an supports her Virgin birth and the Miraculous Powers that were given to her son by God ‑the only difference is that the Muslims do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, why did Obama say "... Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be unto them) ... ?" Because he had to. And what does it mean? By appeasing the Islamic world, Obama has professed to the World that Jesus is a holy prophet, and is dead, and definitely not the Son of God.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21923035-8699147092572651441?l=edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/8699147092572651441/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21923035&amp;postID=8699147092572651441' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21923035/posts/default/8699147092572651441'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21923035/posts/default/8699147092572651441'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/obama-jesus-turn-me-on-dead-man.html' title='Obama: Jesus, Turn Me On Dead Man'/><author><name>Earn My Vote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13758185691985504424</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04493356347483408283'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21923035.post-8665057591409121230</id><published>2009-06-03T09:38:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-03T09:49:34.790-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barak Obama'/><title type='text'>One Nation ....

Is he correct or is he representing his own belief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, implicitly contrasting himself with the born-again, evangelical Bush who pursued a post-9/11 "crusade" against terrorism, Obama is presenting himself to the Islamic world as the personification of a new, tolerant - and, yes, partly Muslim - America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just in case you're thinking that Obama is trying to keep the United States in the correct side of the First Amendment, you might be surprised to know that in an &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Transcript-of-the-Interview-of-the-President-by-Laura-Haim-Canal-Plus-6-1-09/"&gt;interview with France's Canal Plus&lt;/a&gt; released on Tuesday evening, Obama has suggested that the United States might be a Muslim country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Move over Jesus, here comes Mohammed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21923035-8665057591409121230?l=edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/8665057591409121230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21923035&amp;postID=8665057591409121230' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21923035/posts/default/8665057591409121230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21923035/posts/default/8665057591409121230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com/2009/06/one-nation-under-allah.html' title='One Nation ....

We should try to protect the integrity of voting in the United States. There should be no reason to go against this bill. With all of the illegal immigrants we have here.

The strength of an economic recovery hinges on the government’s ability to supply financial companies with fresh capital to get credit flowing again, the Treasury chief indicated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The first really important thing we do is to make sure that banks have the resources they need to be able to provide credit to the economy,” Geithner said at the Senate Finance Committee hearing yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do we get fresh capital from? Why credit? Credit is imaginary money! That's what got us in trouble in the first place!!! Printing new money will not solve the problem, it will only devalue the money we already have!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what they fail to see is even though the banks accounts are insured to $250,000, what good is $250,000 of devalued currency?

However, usisng their own research, Enriquez should abandon all contracts if elected or, in his best interest, drop out of the race and keep the contracts. As stated in the Monitor, "&lt;a href="http://www.themonitor.com/common/printer/view.php?db=monitortx&amp;amp;id=11593"&gt;Delays continue on new Edinburg City Hall&lt;/a&gt;," Gilbert Enriquez [is still the] executive vice president of the contracting firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As stated in their own research, "Similarly, an attorney general opinion concluded that a school district could not contract with a company that employed a member of the district's board of trustees. Even though the trustee derived no direct financial benefit from the contract, he still had an interest in the success of &lt;a href="https://www.oag.state.tx.us/ag_Publications/txts/2004trapshb_2.shtml#c1"&gt;his employer&lt;/a&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Gilbert, why don't you release your personal and Enriquez Enterprises financials to see how much you made off of ECISD?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21923035-1849018991734325599?l=edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com/feeds/1849018991734325599/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21923035&amp;postID=1849018991734325599' title='50 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21923035/posts/default/1849018991734325599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21923035/posts/default/1849018991734325599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://edinburgpolitics.blogspot.com/2008/09/whats-good-for-goose.html' title='What&apos;s good for the goose ...'/><author><name>Earn My Vote</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13758185691985504424</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04493356347483408283'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>50</thr:total></entry></feed>
