Calderón Insults Arizona, Democrats Cheer!

Hard Rain Episode-0051 Calderón Insults Arizona, Democrats Cheer!

Representative Tom McClintock (R-Ca) gives the best response yet to the outrageous, insulting spectacle of Mexican President Felipe Calderón interfering with an internal matter of the United States by calling the recently passed Arizona Illegal-Immigration law, racial profiling. Too bad McClintock, is the only Republican voice to be heard on this.

Democrats from the House and Senate and members of the Obama Cabinet gave Calderón a standing ovation. They say it's better than the finale of Lost. 

Obama never wanted illegal-immigration to become an issue in this election year. Faced with the issue popping up due to Arizona's new law he is trying to have it both ways on the issue. He also denounced the Arizona law in a joint appearance with President Felipe Calderón but is now sending 1,200 National Guard Troops to the state of Arizona. 

President Obama's approval rating at a new low of 42%. Support for repealing the Health Care Bill hits a new high of 63%. And, 72% of American are not sure Congress knows what it is doing when it comes to the economy.

Tennessee shows Arizona a little love on the Arizona Illegal-immigration bill.

After admitting that he was offered a job by someone in exchange for dropping out of the recent Pennsylvania Democratic Primary he won, Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa) now refuses to give any more info. He say's, "Anybody else has to decide on what they will say upon their role. That's their responsibility," when pressed for more. That's how normal people answer a question right? I wonder if he's gotten any calls since admitting this in February.

In the first quarter of 2010 the Federal government underwrote 96.5% of all new mortgages. The federal government is now almost the only place you can get someone to risk that the average American can and will pay back a loan on a home.

A recent study by the National Center for Policy Analysis says tax credits for small business in the recently crammed through Health Care Deform Bill will discourage small businesses from hiring new workers.

Another stimulus bill coming! This time, just like every other time it's for jobs. This time Obama and the Democrats promise unemployment won't go above 100%.

New Jersey Governor and ass kicker, Chris Christie vetoes a 'millionaires tax' passed by the NJ state legislature. He then denounced the idea that governments problems are caused by a lack of money.

Ninja's rescue student from muggers. That's right, actual ninjas.

Wal-Mart fires another employee for stopping a shoplifter.

Texas Rangers file for bankruptcy, due in part to giving Alex Rodriquez $252 Million. 

Mosque being built near the site of the World Trade Center in New York.

FCC says it has 'No Record' of any communication to or from the Chairman Julius Genachowski on Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Levin, Beck, or Ingraham. They don't need to single out individual hosts. They want to control the content of every radio station. 

A study from The Environmental Working Group indicates that sunscreens containing Vitamin A actually accelerate the growth of cancer cells.

A recent UN report says that "Climate Change' should now take a back seat to 'Saving Species.' Translation, 'they figured out the scam, get a new one quick.' Luckily the solution for 'Saving Species' is identical to the solutions for 'Climate Change.' If I didn't know better I'd think these people were up to something. But I know better, don't you. 

Historic buildings, Slave Cabins in NC, to be torn down due to code violations.

Scientists at Cornell University say overhearing a cell phone conversation is so annoying because to many people because we only get half the conversation.

And More!

After the show be sure to listen for Tom McClintock's entire response to Mexican President Felipe Calderón.

Obama Apologizes To China For Arizona Law.

Hard Rain Episode-0050 Obama Apologizes To China For Arizona Law.

Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner apologizes to China for the Arizona Illegal-immigration law during recent talks on Human Rights. Apparently the Obama Administration considers executing prisoners to sell their organs on the black market to be a crime comparable in its horror only to a state that thinks it has the right to self governance and tries to enforce the law.

Hard Rain takes an actual look at the actual illegal immigration bill in actual Arizona.

The Arizona law is modeled on federal law. Any legitimate objection to the bill concerning discrimination would have already been raised at the federal level. People opposed to the AZ bill are simply against immigration laws being enforced. They knew the Federal government was not and would not enforce the law. But it looks like Arizona now will.

Seattle City Council votes unanimously to boycott Arizona over the illegal-immigration law. They also voted unanimously in 2007 to call for an end to the war in Iraq. As I'm sure you remember we left Iraq shortly thereafter. 

Reverend Jeremiah Wright returns! He claims in a letter that Obama, "threw me under the bus," and that Obama now considers him, "toxic."

Cass Sunstein on controlling speech on the internet. Spoiler alert! He's for it and even has little plans.

Who care's about Sunstein you ask? Supreme court nominee Elena Kagan does. She says of him, "Cass Sunstein is the preeminent legal scholar of our time. His work in any one of the fields he pursues...is singular and breathtaking."

Supreme Court Issues two major rulings. They rule that criminals deemed 'sexually dangerous' may be held indefinitely after serving their sentences. The other ruling says that minors cannot be given life sentences without parole for non-homicide crimes.

Election results: Rand Paul wins in Kentucky, Blanche Lincoln faces a runoff in Arkansas, and Democrats hold Murtha's seat in Pennsylvania. And the sweetest news of all? Arlen Spector loses in Pennsylvania primary. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Arlen.

Obama uses the visit of Mexican President Calderon to criticize the Arizona Illegal Immigration bill.

Center for Economic and Policy Research Economist Dean Baker say's those who are optimistic about housing are 'Not Paying Attention.'

Elvis Costello boycotts Israel. Cancels 2 concerts planned for this summer. 

Chris Walen, managing director at Institutional Risk Analytics says, "the housing recovery is just another government subsidy."

Dow Theorist and Hard Rain fan Richard Russell say's sell everything and get liquid.

America's 'underclass' said to be growing. 

Pelosi says quit your job and become an artist because now you have free health care.

Marijuana prices plummet in California. The market is flooded with supply because of the steps towards decriminalization. This has driven prices down exactly as advocates of decriminalization have said it would for years.

Customer attacks cashier at Wendy's over mayonnaise and mustard packets.

Obama's Aunt, facing deportation, granted asylum in America. 

Michael Douglas refuses to sign petition on behalf of Roman Polanski. 

Woody Allen not only supports Polanski he also wishes Obama could be dictator for a while.

Sarah Palin campaigns for female Republican candidates.

Mark Sanford reunites with Argentinian Mistress.

Man selling bunker spots $50,000.  

Does cell phone use cause cancer? UN spends $24 Million to find out and discovers... that they don't know.

In spite of not knowing if cell phones cause cancer right now the UN does know what will be happening in 40 years. Namely that all the fish in the ocean will die by 2050.

Sad news for MILF lovers. Cougars die younger, Sugar Daddies Live Longer.

Reality Rears It's Ugly Head In Times Square.

Hard Rain Episode-0048 Reality Rears It's Ugly Head In Times Square.

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg speculates that the person behind the attempted Times Square Bombing could be someone, “Home-grown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

Anything except the Muslim extremist it turned out to be. 

Hakimullah Lives! Pakistani Taliban leader thought killed twice by US attacks resurfaces again.

Contessa Brewer (MSLSD) expresses disappointment that the NYC bomber is who he is and not a Tea Partier.

NYC to be "flooded" with cameras in response to the Times Square bomb.

Washington D.C. passes Medical Marijuana bill. The bill now awaits the Mayor's decision on whether to sign or veto it.

Obama gives a commencement speech at the University of Michigan. Speaking to the graduates he says, "What troubles me is when I hear people say that all of government is inherently bad." 

Maybe he's refering to people like Thomas Paine, who said, "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one." What an extremist. Probably a Ron Paul supporter or a Veteran.

Veterans put up a billboard calling out Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill) for saying, "I don't worry about the Constitution." You can support them at Veterans4schilling.org.

Craigslist facing a new prostitution investigation from the state of Connecticut.

Congress votes to freeze it's pay.

Sedition, Immigration, and Financial Reform Oh My!

Hard Rain Episode-0047 Sedition, Immigration, and Financial Reform Oh My!

Hard Rain returns after last weeks technical problems.

Joe Klein of Time magazine calls the words of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin borderline "seditious." Then he wrote 10 columns about how great Obama is.

Arizona passes a law saying the law should be enforced. Scum from the gutter to the Oval Office immediately react. Some have even reacted with violent protests, I wonder what Joe Klein will say. I think he'll say something like, "Obama is great!"

Obama who hasn't lifted a finger in more than a year in office on immigration sprung into action immediately upon the passage of this law. He has instructed the Justice Department to look into "possible" civil rights violations. Fine, Mr. President. I don't support violating peoples civil rights either. But as you worry about "possible" civil rights violations, where is your concern over "actual" crimes. Drunk Driving, Murder, Human Trafficking, Drug Smuggling, etc? Where is the concern over "actual" crimes affecting "actual" citizens?

Another day, another accusation of racism by Democrats. That's life in Obama's America.

Obama plays the race card? 

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) says he won't support global warming (is crap!) legislation if Democrats move forward on "Immigration Reform"

Tim Geithner admits he, "never had a real job." It shows Timbo.

Obama pushing hard for financial reform, complete with a convenient SEC lawsuit against Goldman Sachs. The most powerful man in the world gets up everyday and seeks more power for himself.

More Americans living abroad are renouncing their citizenship. I wonder what might have "changed" to cause this increase?

Obama heckled at a campaign event for Barbara Boxer (D-CA) over repealing 'don't ask, don't tell.'

National Security Adviser, Ret Gen. James L Jones makes a Jewish joke at the 25th Anniversary of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. I didn't get my invitation but it sounds like I missed a hell of an evening.

Osama bin Laden had 'no clue' America would respond to the 9/11 attacks as forcefully as it has.

Obama's favorite company, Caterpillar says business is booming in Asia-Pacific, and Latin American markets. America, not so good.

Courtney Love may sell the rights to Kurt Cobain's music so she can 'move on.' She also says the money is cursed. So what is she gonna sell the rights for? Cheese?

Billionaire Warren Buffet wants an exception for his rich ass in the financial reform bill working it's way through the Senate right now. He agrees derivatives should be regulated just not his derivatives.

Scott Sicko refuses to play in the NFL after not being drafted. He intends to pursue his post graduate degree in History. Idiot! You can get your post graduate degree any time. You can't play in the NFL anytime.

George Washington owes $300,000 in late fees for two books he checked out in 1789.

It's Tax Day! Tea Party Protests 2010.

It's Tax Day! Tea Party Protests 2010.

Barney Frank whines like a Democrat about the 'rudeness' of the Tea Party movement during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show. (He's a star!) We take a look at how polite Barney Frank is in the House of Representatives.
 He also criticizes the movement for not being unrepresented like the people in the original Tea party. In other words we don't suffer from taxation without representation. He's right. In fact with 47% of American households not paying any federal income tax we now have representation without taxation.
Liberal frauds announce their intention to infiltrate the Tea Party protests and smear them. They intend to bring misspelled signs and yell out racial and gay slurs in order to paint the Tea Party as a bunch of H8er's. Of course the need to do this pretty much proves it isn't true but tell it to dumbass liberals.
 The objections of the Tea Party have to do with objecting to the massive amount of debt being added to our already massive debt by the President and Democrats in Congress. Just what is the problem with those objections? What is the Democrats defense? Answer: There is no legitimate problem with it. There is no legitimate defense of it so Liberals have to engage in fraud, deceit, and lies. Nice try liars.
 In spite of the 'worst economy since the Great Depression' Barack and the little lady managed to pull in $5.5 million last year. It's hard out here for a pimp.
NC D.A. targets Willie Nelson's band members on drug and alcohol charges.
 FBI allows the family of Ted Kennedy to review and remove any objectionable information from his FBI file.
 Hot off the presses it's the first porn magazine for the blind! Really! It actually sucks, unless you're blind I guess.
 April 13th was the anniversary of the Central Intelligence Agency director Allen Dulles authorizing the MK-ULTRA project. We talk about some of the horrific things done by the government to innocent people in the name of research.
 Even with Obamacare not in place yet (it's no small task to control the people remember?) America is already facing projected shortages of Doctors.
 Suicide Hotline Priest falls asleep while talking to a suicidal caller. The caller then decides not to kill himself in order to file a complaint. Results are results.
 Steven Seagal's TV show put on hiatus after allegations against him in a sexual abuse lawsuit surface.
 Ron Paul comes in second, just one vote behind Mitt Romney in the SRLC straw poll for President. Paul also comes in just one point behind Obama in a recent hypothetical matchup in 2012 at 42/41.
 NC bans flag poles at Tea Party protests.
 Blue Dog Heath Schuler now denies hearing racial slurs from Tea Party protesters.
Hollywood's endless remakes. Quit holding Obama fundraisers and come up with an original idea.
And More!

I Don't Worry About The Constitution.

Hard Rain Episode-0045 I Don't Worry About The Constitution.

Democratic Congressman Phil Hare (D-Ill) doesn't worry about the Constitution. The dirtbag says so to a constituent who asks about the constitutionality of requiring people to buy health insurance. Of course now he's claiming that he was taken out of context. If there's one truism that all booger-eating liberals adhere to it's that Democrats are always taken out of context as surely as Republicans are always racist.

Another Congressman Frank Lobiondo (D-NJ) is quizzed on his knowledge of the Constitution by one of his constituents. Surprise, surprise he fails.  He mistakenly claims article 1, section 1 of the Constitution gives you the right to free speech, confusing it with the first amendment. Article 1, section 1 of the Constitution actually lays out the structure of Congress.

We take a look at Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) opinions of protesting the government now versus when George W Bush was president.

President Obama signs a nuclear disarmament treaty with Russia, reducing nuclear stockpiles by 1/3. At the very moment Obama starts the long process of disarming America, Iran promises to strike the US if attacked.

Federal courts rule against the FCC in their effort to impose rules referred to as 'net neutrality' on internet service providers. The court ruled the FCC does not have the authority to regulate the providers. I predict new legislation and new powers for the FCC as a result of this decision, it could be the beginning of the end of a relatively free and open internet.

As worries over the US dollar continue to mount around the world, several Arab states have gotten together to develop a new currency for buying and selling oil. Modeled on the Euro it is being referred to as the 'Gulfo.'

After horrific terrorist attacks on a Moscow subway, Russian President Medvedev promises "more cruel" measures will be taken against terrorists.

Professor James Lovelock, developer of the Gaia Theory, believes global warming is real and will be catastrophic. But he says there's nothing we can do about it.

Obama delays a forthcoming report on Social Security. No matter when it comes out it will say the same thing: There is no money.

The Tiger Woods crap is back. Will it ever end?

A new report says that almost half of all American households do not pay any federal income taxes. 50% of Americans in the cart, 50% pulling the cart.

Finally some good news. The economy added 162,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate remained at 9.7%.

In spite of this, initial jobless claims, people who have only recently been laid off work, jumped last week.

Things are particularly bad for young workers. They are defined as people under the age of 25 and they face an unemployment rate of nearly 20%.

Obama Doesn't Worry About The Rules.

Hard Rain Episode-0043 Obama Doesn't Worry About The Rules.

As predicted last week another Obama deadline comes and goes. Now the vote is to be held on Sunday. It never ends with these locusts.

Obama pushing the idea that Americans aren't interested in the process. He even does an interview with Evil Fox News. He says, "I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or the Senate." I think that goes for every Democrat in the House or the Senate.

Pelosi says its only the beginning. In fact she said, "once we kick through this door, there'll be more legislation to follow." Locusts.

Democrat floor whip Rep. Stephen Lynch calls attempts to "deem" the Senate bill passed with out an actual vote, "disingenuous" and says it would harm Congress's credibility. What credibility?

Walgreens to stop taking new Medicaid drug patients in the state of Washington.

Obama runs a $220.9 billion deficit in the month of February.

Obama says insurance premiums will drop 3000% if health care passes. I'm still waiting for sea levels to drop since Obama is the president.

US and UK May lose AAA credit rating if debt levels continue to rise at recent rates.

This year Social Security will have to start cashing in on the "trust fund" of government bonds (debt) to pay out benefits. This debt will require that more debt be taken on in order to pay the debt. Make sense?

Disgruntled ex-employee disables 100 cars remotely.

Obama supports a plan to collect DNA from everyone arrested whether or not they are convicted of, or even charged with, a crime. What a liberal guy. 

Facebook bigger than Google? Not exactly. But it is pretty big and growing. Find us, we're Hard Rain Show on Facebook.

Pelosi: Pass The Bill So You Can Find Out What's In It.

Hard Rain Episode-0042 Pelosi: Pass The Bill So You Can Find Out What's In It.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi says, "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." It's just the latest in the endless push for Democrats to control the health care of every American. 

President Obama now saying he wants the health care bill passed by March 18th. Democrats in the house are already rejecting the deadline saying it can't be done that fast. 

Massa Mess. Fans of Hard Rain might remember us talking about this guy in episode 0013. Good riddance. In spite of my fellings on Massa I have no problem believing the story about Rahm Emanuel in the gym shower. That kind of confrontational, aggressive style is exactly why Obama hired him.

Surrendering Lindsey Graham (R-SC) helping Obama on two fronts. Closing Guantanamo and Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants.

Hall of Fame Defensive Lineman and actor Merlin Olson dies at age 69 after a battle with mesothelioma. He played his entire football career with the Los Angeles Rams and acted in Little House on the Prairie and Father Murphy.
