I am a retired captain with United Airlines. I, also, served in the Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve for 26 years as a fighter pilot. I have created a site in which I intend to post items of interest to me. I hope they are interesting to you, too. Please feel free to view my topics as well as my links. Afterward, I would be happy for you to post any comments you like. When doing so, kindly identify yourself as the author. A pen name or pseudonym is acceptable.
It's time for a break from the problems of the day. The video, below, by singer and song writer Ray Stevens, pokes fun at the immigration situation. Take a three minute break from your day for a little chuckle.

On May 20, 2010, MEXICAN PRESIDENT FELIPE CALDERON addressed a joint session of the US Congress where he had the audacity to lecture us about our immigration laws, criticizing SB1070, Arizona's recently passed illegal immigration law. Afterward, HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE TOM McCLINTOCK (R-California) addressed the Congress, relaying his reaction to President Calderon's speech. In doing so, he eloquently spoke for thousands of Americans, including yours truly, who were enraged after hearing the Mexican president lecture US about OUR country's immigration laws. View it below.

The NATIONAL INFLATION ASSOCIATION just posted its latest video, MELTUP. In it, economists describe the causes and resulting scenario that will lead this nation to economic Armageddon. In its first four days on YouTube this video received 196,000 views. This is not an entertainment video. It is lengthy (54 minutes) and technical, but it is a MUST SEE. The only hope we have to avoid a catastrophic ECONOMIC COLLAPSE and the resulting CHAOS is to understand where we are as a nation, economically and politically, and to aggressively change our course. This is not a scenario our children will experience. Unless we wise up, WE ALL WILL EXPERIENCE IT, and soon!
Instead of decorating them with medals, Navy commanders court-martialed our heroes that captured a hardened terrorist while at war in Iraq. The allegation was that they might have punched him during the capture. The Spanish have it right when it comes to catching and stopping terrorists. Recently, a terrorist in Spain (not at war), claiming to have a hand grenade, demanded a motorcycle to make his getaway. See how the Spanish authorities captured him. Our government and military officials could learn something from watching this video. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Apple recently released its new iPad. But the Federal Government has a competing product for you to consider. It's called the Obama Pad or oPad, for short. Check it out.
