Part II: 10 Poorest Cities in America (How did it happen?)
City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level
1. Detroit, MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo, NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati, OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland, OH 27.0%
5. Miami, FL 26.9%
6. St. Louis, MO 26.8%
7. El Paso, TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee, WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia, PA 25.1%
10. Newark, NJ 24.2%

What do the top ten cities (over 250,000 pop.) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Detroit, MI - (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961
Buffalo, NY - (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954
Cincinnati, OH - (3rd) not since 1984
Cleveland, OH - (4th) not since 1989
Miami, FL - (5th) has never had a Republican mayor
St. Louis, MO - (6th) not since 1949
El Paso, TX - (7th) has never had a Republican mayor
Milwaukee, WI - (8th) not since 1908
Philadelphia, PA - (9th) not since 1952
Newark, NJ - (10th) not since 1907
Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'
It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats... yet they are still POOR.


Part III:
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
~Abraham Lincoln
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him had better take a closer look at the American Indian."
~Henry Ford

Excellent points OBAMA Should read your post!

ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER!

I subscribed to all of Navilliers’s newsletters and folliwed his advice to the T.

I lost over $150,000. Check out First Solar for instance. It’s around $45. This idiot has us buying in at $150 a share. I have a list of 30 other losers this jack wagon pump and dump scam artist.

I wish you guys would READ the five books. I finished them all a couple of years ago, binge reading on my Kindle. They are true thrillers. Who needs HBO?

Aha! .......How about a few jokes? ..........I know ya want them LOL!

Death is life's way of telling you you've been fired.

As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, "If I'm going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman."
She removes all her clothing and asks, "Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?"
A man stands up, removes his shirt and says, "Here, iron this!".

When I was young I used to pray for a bike, then I realized that God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.


"I told my wife that a man is like a fine wine... I always get better with age. The next day, she locked me in the wine cellar."

In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

Love thy neighbor all through the day... but first make sure her husband's away!

A guy asks his waiter how they prepare their chicken. The waiter says that there's nothin' special... we just flat out tell' em they're gonna die...

Harry's wife says, "Harry, do these jeans make my butt look like the side of the house?" He says, "No, our house isn't blue."

A reporter was interviewing a 104 year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?" She simply replied, "No peer pressure."

Two skeletons meet, and one asks the other, "Did you die before the Social Security reform, or after?"... "No, I'm still alive."

Waiter walks up to a table of old ladies eating their lunch and asks, "Is anything OK?

This could be considered THE ideal world for many men:
His son on the cover of a box of Wheaties.
His mistress in the centerfold of Playboy.
A picture of his wife on the milk carton.

MYSTERY OF THE SHEMITAH ?

I generally don't believe in Hocus Pocus, but this 2 minute video seems to indicate that this phenomenon called the Shemitah occurs about every 7 years....it will be interesting to see if the Stock Markets do collapse around Sept 15, 2015. link to video http://superstore.wnd.com/The-Myster...mericas-Future

[Louetta]

Let's see. Pale Hose in town (that's the White Sox). First two batters triple, third one doubles. Kelly hits the fourth. Then a little nubber back to the pitcher who fails to field it scoring the third run. Next guy hits into a double play scoring the fourth run to the accompaniment of a large cheer since someone has now been put out. Next guy lines out. Feel lucky they only got four.

For some reason I feel inspired to translate a moderately famous Dutch nonsense
rhyme. The reason might have something to do with Louetta's avatar, but I don't
see much of a connection between the picture and the poem and hope nobody
else does. Well, here goes:

I am sitting on the window sill
With boredom as a tether
I wish I were two little dogs
So I could play together.

The original is by Michel van der Plas, Spleen,
(yes, that is the English word 'spleen') based on a much longer German original.
