Bill Gates comes out of the closet

Bill Gates Comes out of the Closet

 

Bill Gates actions in the last 18 months reveal he is a certified liberal. America should have no doubt, anymore, where he stands in the political spectrum. Bill’s multi-billion dollar foundation is supporting an effort collect, collate and distribute private information on students and others to sell to the highest bidder. Specifically, he and his cronies want to obtain transcripts and other relevant data on students, making it available to commercial entities and the government at-large. Bypassing the Fourth-Amendment is easy when you are the second richest man in the World. Social media is abuzz with condemnation of this project, which recently came to light through random news sources. Social Security numbers are part of the information grab. Parent groups are beginning to realize the extent of Bill’s journey into their privacy, yet their protests have not moved public officials to stop his efforts. States involved in this project point to federal law, which allows the schools to turn over this data to selected entities. Point: we have another billionaire chippings away at our privacy and freedoms.

Maryland's irresponsible state government

Maryland’s irresponsible state government

 

Unsolicited spam from Maryland’s Executive branch was not surprising in content or intent when I opened it yesterday. Governor Martin O’Malley’s message read more like a political stump speech than a notification of his accomplishments during the present legislative session. Its headline jumped off the page: “Affordable College, Clean Energy and Responsible Governing.” This disingenuous headline sums up the irrationality of the group now governing the Free State. As I noted in the article entitled, Marylanders: overtaxed, overregulated, overwhelmed linked below, the ingredients for economic failure are clearly laid out in the current budget. Overfunding higher education by 5.83 billion dollars is nothing to be proud of Governor O’Malley. A quick visit to the College Park campus of the University of Maryland, leaves one wondering who is going to benefit from this overwhelming generosity of the Maryland taxpayer. Overspending on the Medical Assistance program, by billions, begs the question: who are these extra people being covered. A simple call to your local health department notes that residency requirements to obtain O’Malleycare, are quasi in nature. Medical personnel have related stories of newly arrived state denizens who obtained health benefits less than “2 weeks” after transgressing the Free State’s borders. The Governor is attracting more people to the state because he likes new arrivals, as he stated in a prior stump speech.  Perhaps you missed the signs traveling both ends of Route 95: Welcome to the “Free State,” thanks to the Maryland taxpayer.

Governor O’Malley wants the Maryland public to know he is doing everything in his power to block global warming. His offshore wind farm legislation exemplifies his mania to achieve this goal. This pending financial disaster for the state and its residents will burden each business and household with a surcharge on their electric bills, starting a decade before the potential completion of this ill-fated venture. Worse, the technology to attain the Governor’s goal of building a 200 Megawatt offshore facility does not exist (see link, Maryland’s Solyndra: offshore windfarms). The Governor’s campaign literature forgets to tell state residents the price to generate one megawatt of wind power costs 4 to 10 times that of coal, oil, gas etc. State residents and businesses are being taken for the proverbial ride by the blind ambitions of someone who wants to move up the food chain, our esteemed Governor. The Governor’s hyper-inflated state budget has no relief for beleaguered taxpayers, who pay for his follies. O’Malley’s Budget is a win win for the entitlement crowd, and a lose lose for the taxpayer. His campaign literature, now in your spam box, is nothing more than a series of misrepresentations, misdirected thinking and a roadmap to the State’s pending economic disaster. Contact your state representatives and let them know your displeasure that the state is making too many demands on your bank account, because their accounts will soon run dry without yours.

Marylanders; overtaxed, overregulated, overwhelmed

Marylanders: overtaxed, overregulated, overwhelmed

 

Recently Maryland’s Governor Martin O’Malley released the state’s budget for the next fiscal year, a number so large that any rational mind would have trouble conceptualizing it for such a small state. Ceremoniously, the Governor noted the new state budget would be 37.5 billion dollars. To provide some sense and perspective to this number, another very blue state was chosen for comparison, California. The Golden State has a population of 38 million, Maryland’s comes in at under 6 million. Geographically Maryland has approximately 7% of California’s square mileage. Though Maryland has only 15% of the left coast’s population and 7% of its land area, the Free State’s budget is 25% of California’s 146 billion dollar fiasco. The question arises: Why does Maryland need this level of funding to survive? Maryland is not at war, except with its taxpayers, therefore it requires no payments to support an army. A close analysis of the budget notes it floods a bloated state workforce with pay increases and incentive bonuses. Public Schools are overfunded with billions of dollars of gravy that will not improve education, but will bring in the votes from teachers, to keep the democrat horde in power. Higher education now needs more funding since illegals were given the right to pay in-state tuition during the 2012 election. Medicaid will be budgeted at record levels instead of attempting to innovate this program to reduce costs. The Rainy Day Fund will be further enhanced, to quietly feed choice programs of the Governor.  Nowhere in this monster budget is their relief for the poor taxpayer. Regulations continue to pour out of the Maryland legislature to extort money from businesses to feed this behemoth. Our state Comptroller’s office is busy sending out thousands of letters each week, finding new and creative ways to burden the population in order to pay for O’Malley’s financial follies. Ironically, this newest state budget assumes more not less revenue from the feds. If the latter is not satirical, the state accountants believe the 4% tax increase on six figure incomes, approved last year, will also enable this fantasy budget to be funded. Once before millionaires were selected out for surtaxes and somehow 1,000 of them vanished from state tax rolls.  Governor O’Malley is blind to the financial disasters now plaguing other blue states. The crunch will soon come when taxpayers understand the motivations of our lawyer governor. Maryland is a Mecca for the entitlement crowd. Democrats feed this crowd to stay in power. We all know who these people are and the fringe benefits they receive just for existing. Many counties and cities throughout the country are facing bankruptcy, it is only a matter of time before Maryland has to pay the piper. O’Malley and his minions will not be around when the downturn comes, his aspirations are west of Annapolis. Maryland’s overreach will be the same hand that buries the state financially, unfortunately there may be no other hands to bail the state out. Mark Davis, MD

Paranoid America: who is looking over your shoulder

Paranoid America: who is looking over your shoulder

 

Privacy is dead. Every facet of your life is now accessible by anyone with a cyber- key. Cleverly written federal legislation, to ferret out potential criminal behavior, opens the door for the government to snoop into your life. On March 13 of this year the Obama Administration announced it would allow U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database which contains information on all American citizens and others who do their banking in this country. President Obama’s new obsession, in his search for terrorist networks and crime syndicates, comes at a great price to your privacy. Criminal information along with financial and social records, of all Americans, will now be at the fingertips of anyone in the intelligence community. Once this plan is fully implemented, we can be assured the private sector will have access to this databank. By 2014, all medical records must be translated into electronic bits of data so the end-user can have universal access. Remember that STD treated in college or that bit of cosmetic surgery you would rather not speak about, a government agent will remind you at the appropriate time.

Perhaps you have not seen your credit report recently. There is more information on those sheets than a late credit card payment. Social data that profiles many aspects of your life comes with your financial analysis. Applying for a job, many employers now request a credit report. Payment histories, purchasing data, liens, foreclosures, bankruptcies and more allows potential employers a glimpse of your financial stability and an indication of how responsible you have been. Americans should feel a tad paranoid from these clear invasions of privacy. In their hunt for the bad guys the government is willing to trample your right to privacy, due process and constitutional privileges. Consider yourself an open book when dealing with any government agents. Next time an IRS employee contacts you, he or she will be aware of your banking history, criminal records, the last time you purchased pimple cream and that course you failed in college. Privacy has been taken for granted. Presently, it is only a right the privileged get to embrace.

Obama attempts to rehab his image

An Obama supporter is sending a chain letter through a site that by-passes spam filters. The letter wants all of us to help the President rehab his image. The writer of that letter's name is Eli. This letter is poorly written and deserves very little notice for its outright misrepresentations. Below is my answer to his letter.
Your name's origins come from hebraic history. Eli was a judge with high reguard amongst the people of his time, three millennia ago. From your brief commentary in this chain letter, you do not display that array of intellectual passion that drove the original Eli. Barack Obama has brought a great detriment upon the people of the United States. He demagogued his way to power and continues his rant in the misuse of the high office he abuses daily. Those who have profited by his seat in the White House are: 1) the entitlement crowd (we both know who they are), 2) Unions, 3) special interests such as Solyndra, 4) the illegals and 5) a bloated federal bureaucracy. With the recent release of thousands of criminals in southwest jails, his falsifying data on the Benghazi attack and the ridiculous notion of using drones on American soil, he should be impeached. Please peddle your nonsense somewhere else. no one is buying this poor attempt to rehab a person who is a habitual liar. Shame on you for following this false idol. Mark Davis MD.

Government in Transition: a new LinkedIn political discussion group

Government in Transition: a new LinkedIn Political discussion group

 

Government in Transition is a discussion group on the LinkedIn website which has been established to discuss current political trends and the societal changes now occurring throughout the country. Recent revelations that Facebook is actively suppressing selective political commentary, especially conservative opinions, has caused many to seek other avenues to vent their thoughts. Facebook’s outright censorship is a consequence of its liberal leaning management. Twitter has also closed pages when they felt the information contained on them was not compatible with their own stated agenda. LinkedIn, as of this writing, has not displayed such an abuse of process. On the contrary, they invite commentary from an array of perspectives. Government in Transition seeks to bring together a variety of political and social commentary. Visitors to this discussion group will opine knowing their comments will not be censored in any manner or form. Cultural changes, inflicted on us by state and federal governing bodies, were ill-considered and there full ramifications have yet to come to fruition. From the social experiements in the military to the extreme redistribution of tax dollars, the mainstream media has treaded lightly on these subjects. With political entities working handed in hand with the left-wing media, discussion of these and other important issues do not receive the attention they deserve. Government in Transition is discussion group that allows people from all social, cultural and economic strata to come together and literally bang-heads on these topics. The manager of the group, Mark Davis MD, is endeavoring to draw media and government personnel into the mix to heighten the perspectives in the commentary. Yet, the most important commentary will be from those who make the country tick, people from outside the Washington D.C. beltway.  Politicians and and others who administer our society should be taken to task for the detriment they have caused this nation in the last decade, especially in the last five years. Government in Transition invites members of  LinkedIn to join and comment on the current political trends now engrossing the country. In the event you do not belong to LinkedIn, it is free and worth the time to join. People have a right to be heard, Government in Transition is one place your comments will receive an excellent airing and response. Mark Davis MD, platomd@gmail.com.

Chasing Democracy: where has it gone

Chasing Democracy: where has it gone

 

Democracy has become an elusive term amongst those empowered to guard its basic principles. Historical references note when a country deviates from the foundations which made it strong, its downfall was not far behind. Edward Gibbon’s masterful work, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, illustrates how weakness, social decay and over-taxation were the final hammers that caused this nation-state to dismember. Gibbon’s eighteenth century masterpiece would not be so different had he written about 21^st century America. Shadows similar to those cast by Rome’s toxic management of its populous, are evident in our present day society. America’s military once had the ability to fight wars on multiple fronts, has been diminished by a central government that puts our defense last. Our border protection has now become a convenient joke for the denizens of late night media. Men have been demasculinized, replaced with the embodiment of a unisexual being whose efficacy falls short of his original form. The nuclear family structure, once the strongest institution in the nation, has degenerated into single parent households with the government’s blessings. Divisive leadership has stirred up race hatred, economic bigotry and partitioned communities leaving desolation behind. Detroit exemplifies the collective elements of the latter circumstances. Taxation has become the folly of the fools that govern us no matter where they sit. Unable to bring economic leadership to the forefront, their only answer is more taxes. Recently, a huge tax increase was inflicted on the nation by an Administration whose ineptitude does not allow it to master the budgetary process. Decreased spending is an anathema to those who must use economic parlor tricks to stay in power. The same Administration also orchestrated the sequestration in exchange for a higher debt ceiling, now chides the opposing party for its results. No matter where you look, the underpinnings of America Democracy have been derided, diluted and or extinguished from view. Weakness, overregulation, economic duress and immorality define the embodiment of today’s America. As a result of the pandemonium moving through society from these deficiencies, socialism a distant cousin to democracy, has emerged to take hold of our institutions. Revitalization of democratic principles will take a person with the inner strength and versatility to confront  the insidious maneuvers now occurring in the back corridors of Washington, that person is yet to be defined.

Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook declares war on conservatism

Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook declares war on conservatism

 

Conservative thought on Facebook is being constantly censored under the watchful eyes of its founder, Mark Zuckerberg.  Complaints concerning this liberal giant are spread over thousands of internet pages. They have one theme in common, the greatest majority of them are from conservative minded individuals. Zuckerberg’s henchmen carefully monitor zillions of pages that make up Facebook. They go into attack mode when they sense a conservative page or in the event a conservative posts his or her ideas on several other pages. With minimal warning, the conservative commentator is blocked from commenting on others pages from days to weeks. Facebook’s excuse is these individuals or groups are spamming others. Diligently reviewing this issue, the evidence leans away from Facebook’s claims. In the last several days, my account came under assault from Facebook’s Ministry of Selected Truth. Since I have no commercial interests to relate to others, this could not be the reason for their assertions of spamming. Yet my conservative bent may have annoyed someone out there in liberal-land, who may have reported one of my posts as spam. In an attempt to clear my good name, I contacted Facebook, but to no avail. The management will not condescend to discuss any issues with us mere plebeians. Without resolution, my Facebook account is nearly worthless, because I am not allowed to comment on others pages. Censorship’s evil grip has infected Facebook. Its unkind grasp is aimed at only one group, conservatives. Several internet searches failed to find any liberals complaining of Facebook’s dirty hands on their pages. Recently, Mark Zuckerberg was seen with the President for several photo-ops, energizing the public’s mind of his political penchant. Knowledge of Facebook’s compliance with the government is even more profound because it provides this bureaucracy with information on users with the touch of a button. Facebook’s transformation into a very cooperative extended arm of the government is chilling because of the enormous amount of data it has collected on its users. Knowing that it monitors conservative thought and its hierarchy is close with the present Administration is very troubling. These facts alone should be a red light for anyone using its pages. A wise user of Facebook should post minimal information about themselves on this site. A wiser person would move on. Mark Davis MD, platomd@gmail.com,
