We need to get rid of the IRS instead of feeling bad for the unproductive bullies who make up our bloated bureaucracy. Overpaid so-called IRS workers should not even exist. We do not need sociopaths who think they are untouchable dictators arbitrarily selecting Americans to financially intimidate. If every single IRS worker was chilled (fired) then this country would be a less stressful place.
You may not like everything that James MacArthur (the Baltimore Spectator) has to say, but you have to admit that his interviews can be very entertaining. MacArthur was interviewed on the Marc Steiner Show yesterday and you can listen to the segment here.
A few of you have probably noticed that I am not posting as much as I used to. I am basically tired of Baltimore politics. The entire local bureaucratic system is a wasteful nightmare that only the most corrupt statist lackey could enjoy. The leader-worship in this city is sickening and it creeps into every aspect of life since many people in Baltimore rely on the government to take care of them in some way. Baltimore is where individual productivity goes to die. If you want a real life example of what has been frustrating me check out this Baltimore Brew article. Our leaders can not run a water authority properly and year after year they have increased the WATER TAX and year after year we get more and more incorrect water bills yet citizens basically have city of Baltimore guns to their heads and can do nothing about the situation or risk having the city steal their homes. Last year we were told that rates would not go up this much, but suddenly they figure out that they are so inefficient they need more of our money to enrich themselves. If you are part of this corrupt system then I hate you. The greed of the statist leeches of Baltimore knows no bounds.
Frank James MacArthur AKA the Baltimore Spectator is scheduled to have his day in court on May 8th. A few weeks ago I received a letter from MacArthur. The Spectator is keeping his spirits up despite some prison conditions that he assures me that I could not even imagine. MacArthur has been able to write quite a few friends from what I can gather. Two of his letters have been posted here and here. Take some time to read them. The Afro also posted a Spectator update.
I do have some good law and order news for you this week. The Baltimore City Police Department now has an online tool where you can file non-emergency police reports. This will come in handy the next time I see a guy dumping bulk trash in my alley. Use it wisely.
Joan Pratt was the only member of the board of estimates to vote against this travesty. Pratt seems to like to vote against the mayor on issues like these that will get her name into the paper.
“Young said he was approving the amended contract because it allowed Calmi Electrical, Inc., a minority contractor, to participate in the program.”
Rip off the taxpayers of Baltimore so some minority contractor (whose president lives in the county according to SDAT) can benefit! Wow! Now that sounds pretty horrible and I am fully against such an action, but Young’s reported reasoning might just be a simplification of the situation…
The mainstream media is having a field day with Dr. Ben Carson. In a city where “former” drug dealers are lionized by all sorts of media members (who live in the county), an accomplished brain surgeon and a desperately needed role model for inner city youth is clearly a hateful idiot whose past accomplishments should not save him from the wrath of the frenzied media. You may strongly disagree with Carson’s comments, but portraying this man as some sort of mindless nut in a city filled with truly moronic (and extremely violent) individuals who have no value for life is taking things to a surreal level of political correctness.
The biggest hypocrite amongst all the Carson haters is Johns Hopkins. The Hopkins monolith does not tolerate bad press and it will do just about anything to avoid it or cover it up from within. It is not a shock that Hopkins has not tossed a life preserver toward the sinking Carson. When one takes a few steps back and looks at the bigger picture the institutional bias that trickles through Hopkins has been revealed by how they handled Dr. Carson compared to how they welcomed the so-called “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright. You did not know that Johns Hopkins invited Jeremiah Wright to speak within its sacred walls on February 16. 2013?
“The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute is hosting a panel discussion, Transforming Urban Communities: Building Equity and Equality, featuring Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright. The event will take place Saturday, February 16, 2013 from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm in Sommer Auditorium, located in the Bloomberg School of Public Health. The discussion will include political, community, and Johns Hopkins leaders. The event is free but space is limited.
So we have a city filled with all sorts of insane social ills and danger where a brain surgeon is destroyed by the media and the prevailing establishment institutions for his controversial comments while a so-called “Reverend” with a long history of controversial comments and sermons is welcomed, honored, and celebrated by Johns Hopkins and all sorts of political players. Is it any wonder why Baltimore is in the shape that it is in? Don’t worry though it must be the right wingers’ fault even though this is a one party city. If we bring up non-Democrats enough and blame them for everything I am sure this will solve everything. It has been working quite well for Baltimore since about 1968 or so.
The St. Paul street development that might have a food store as an anchor now has a site you can view here. “Armada Hoffler and Beatty Development Group have been selected to lead the mixed-use development of land at St. Paul and 33rd streets. The project in Charles Village near the heart of Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus will add amenities to an already vibrant and established community. It also will create jobs, contribute revenue to the city, and reinforce Charles Village as one of Baltimore’s premier neighborhoods.”
Take a look at this Milwaukee police department page. The average citizen can easily find useful statistics and news. The page allows citizens to easily share their own information with the police. The page looks modern. Compare it to the Baltimore police department’s page. The two cities are similar in size, but it appears Milwaukee is way ahead of us in terms of its police department’s web presence. The Milwaukee Youtube page on its own destroys the Baltimore department’s entire web presence.
