KTXL-TV : Check that Receipt! You Might Have Paid Extra Sales Tax

Sun, 7 Apr 2013 01:07:53 +0000

We're ALL getting ripped off! Sadly the City of Sacramento's Measure U sales tax was a fraud to begin with. Originally pimped to help restore 167 positions cut from the Sacramento Police Department in 2011, the screed and greed took over. Using the excuse the measure might not pass by a 2/3 vote (in spite of surveys and public opinion favoring such a move) the City Manager told Council to make it a General Fund Tax. RESULT? Lion's share of the tax revenue coming later this year will go for six swimming pools and five wading pools, rainy day fund and some relief for browned out fire stations. Of the $5 million, $1.5 million will go to fund the first class of police cadets at Sacramento’s police academy since 2008. None will hit the streets this year. At the midyear budget hearing, the city claims to have found $9.35 million in savings. Did the police see one dime of it? NO!

KTXL-TV : President Apologizes for "Best Looking" Comment about California's AG

Sat, 6 Apr 2013 00:18:40 +0000

Oh please... I'm no fan of POTUS or CA-AG but PC Policing is out of control in our country. Besides, I suggested a year ago President Obama would likely tap Harris as AG when he throws Holder under the bus over Fast&Furious or any number of other questionable AG calls that have backfired.

KTXL-TV : City Seeks Public Input on Planned Arena at Download Plaza Site

When will local media start asking "How much General Fund money has been stolen from Sacramento taxpayers since 2003 to promote the Kings and an arena?" Voters said no to Measures Q and R! What is it about NO they don't get? Guess what? In spite of big money poured into PR campaigns, "We the People" continue to say no public funding for the Kings or the arena! Proof? CBS-13 recently asked viewers: "Are you willing to pay more money to keep the Kings in Sacramento?" Over 100 viewers said NO! So what happens if you're NOT in the tank for the Kings and Arena Deal? http://www.patriotwatch.com/1stamendment.htm

KTXL-TV : Hostages Rescued after Hours-Long Standoff at Jack in the Box

Sun, 9 Dec 2012 01:29:47 +0000

This was one amazing exercise of outstanding professionalism by Sacramento Police SWAT, Watch Commanders and Patrol supervisors in a potentially deadly standoff. Clearly lessons from the 1991 Good Guys incident were taken in to account; See http://youtu.be/XgXnDrdov9w It is sad that the City of Sacramento has treated our officers so poorly being some of the lowest paid in the region and suffering from severe staffing shortages. God bless them all. Data is available on http://crimeinsacramento.com for those who wish to support Sacramento's finest!

KTXL-TV : Pedestrian Struck, Killed by Light Rail Train

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 03:14:41 +0000

Sacramento Police and RT officers have their hands full with major street closures and securing a huge fatal incident scene. Police staffing shortages mean many pending calls for service city-wide will result in a delayed response. Sacramento has the hardest working professionals, yet they are among the lowest paid sworn officers in the region. Meanwhile, their police chief and City Council spent the evening session tonight bidding their peers Sandy Sheedy and RK Fong farewell. Our Crimewatch partners hope future council members will end the years of cuts to our rank and file police officers. I respect many of the good things that both Sheedy and Fong did for their districts while holding them responsible for their votes when it comes to public and police officer safety in California's capital city. It is NOT something to take pride in.

True Liberty666 unless you are a "protected class" charity sucking off the taxpayer teat. Make no mistake: the "homeless" are an industry. Look how many jobs it creates in government social services. Get rid of the homeless with the billions spent providing them services? I'd like to offer an example of a "protected" homeless charity who passed out $1,250.00 in 9 days to a heroin addict "in their care" SOURCE: http://crimewatch.us/stu.htm This Trust Account Statement raises serious questions of the conduct of an approved "Payee" for federal or local funding intended to provide for basic needs of recipients. A member of Sacramento's Homeless Board indicates a Private Party Payee would be held to a much more rigid standard and subject to greater scrutiny. If a person with arrest warrants and an obvious IV heroin addiction can withdraw this amount of money in such a short period of time, it's not hard to believe there are others who may be fugitives or parolees at large.

Khrushchev said. "Your children will live under communism." "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept Communism outright; but we'll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won't have to fight you; we'll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands." On August 24, 1963, speaking in Yugoslavia, Khrushchev quipped, "I once said, 'We will bury you,' and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you," This message is a reference to the Marxist saying, "The proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism", based on the concluding statement in Chapter 1 of the Communist M manifesto. Grassroots nonprofits are failing all over this nation. They are often barred from public schools while deep pocket liberal and far left tax-exempt foundations and corporations have greater access to our children. Have we come to the point in time where are children are living under communism? It's a valid question worthy of deeper discussion.

I apologize for goofing up my rather long post. This is an issue near and dear to my old heart. Deep pockets have been indoctrinating our children for three generations and IT MUST BE STOPPED. At times I wonder why we are attacked like my pal, parent and US Army patriot 1SGT CJ Grisham. I can only pray someone like Breitbart can take up the challenge faced by this family: Thug-ocracy At Its Finest (in public school) http://www.soldiersperspective.us/2009/10/27/thug...

We're proud of Breitbart's work to expose the redistribution of wealth to communist front organizations like ACORN. I know, you didn't call them communists but I have good reason to. http://patriotwatch.com/Johnny-a-Commie.htm. I happen to think WWII hero Joseph "Tail Gunner" McCarthy was right and Edward R Morrow is rolling over in his grave today. Why? Take a look at federal funding in our school systems today. Text books pushing God out while advocating the gay agenda. Planned Parenthood cutting parents and law enforcement out of the loop when the minor victim of rape if offered free abortions. Junk science scares our kids over "Global Warming" with films funded by the feds.

Patriotwatch.com says "OVER OUR DEAD BODIES!" From our humble beginnings in the year 2000, Patriot Defenders Network, Inc has supported veterans administration efforts, group after group, mission after mission to support our troops, our veterans and their families. It's been the loyal volunteers of PDN and our allied groups that put boots on the ground to solve problems. None has been too small, few have been too large. That single-minded purpose takes on even greater importance as returning troops face readjustment to civilian life or continuing service to our nation. Their military families too have unexpected special needs and we're here to serve them where possible. We've seen this coming too, as the Administration and the Congress engages in double speak. WE WERE LIED TO! Congress only voted to de-fund ACORN for ONE MONTH. That means we have to fight hard AGAIN to FORCE them to de-fund this far-left group... PERMANENTLY! A war on two fronts is a tough battle.

"We heard from hundreds of excited patriots in cities large and small that wanted to participate in a local Tea Party" wrote Dave Jenest, organizer of The National Meetup Organizers Hub. "If we couldn't find one for them close by, we suggested online content they could enjoy and the extensive coverage from Fox News, Clear Channel and other talk radio hosts. Then it hit us... we could share our Sacramento event live in our new Virtual Meetup World," concludes Jenest. Robert Flesch, creator of Prototerra.com stepped up to sponsor the Hub and share his creation with with Project 9-12 Meetup members. Meetup.com made their API technology available to the Virtual World developers for a more seamless integration between both applications. Reaction to this new world comes from familiar names for frequent WST/Project 9-12 Meetup members.

THE AFTER ACTION PLAN With input from WST/Project 9-12 Organizers (from the largest to the smallest groups) Business Plans for local groups to adapt, Meetup.com tips and tricks and what works and what doesn't bubbled to the surface. The group evaluated some leading edge technology to enhance local Meetup's and advance their common cause. The first beta test of the technology was streaming the Sacramento, California Tea Party live into their new Virtual Meetup World to a small but dedicated group of Meetup organizers around the country.

To Beck's credit, local WST Meetups sprang up all over America. Everyone seemed to have one common question: "After the Tea Party - What's next?" Many groups didn't wait for an answer. They moved their own local communities into action. Still, there were new Meetup organizers that needed help. Sixty-two (62) WST/Project 9-12 Meetup Organizers, assistants and WST opinion leaders stepped in to fill a temporary void caused by the overwhelming response to the largest Meetup group in Meetup.com's history. From that modest volunteer effort emerged the National Organizers Hub http://www.meetup.com/Meetup-Organizers-National-...

High tech program brings WST/Project 9-12 Meetups an added tool to keep members energized between face to face Meetups. BACKGROUND: "All politics is local" or so the saying goes.
