FIRE IN THE HOLE – KING COAL IS DEAD, MAY HE RIP

August 3, 2015 thenewbostonteaparty 292 Comments

FIRE IN THE HOLE.

The major coal-producing states are (in descending order as of 2000, with annual production in thousands of short tons):

Wyoming (338,900). (see Coal mining in Wyoming)
West Virginia (158,257)
Kentucky (130,688) (see Coal mining in Kentucky)
Pennsylvania (74,619)
Texas (49,498)
Montana (38,352)
Illinois (33,444)
Virginia (32,834)
North Dakota (31,270)
Colorado (29,137) (see Coal mining in Colorado)
Indiana (27,965)
New Mexico (27,323)
Utah (26,656)
Ohio (22,269)
Alabama (19,324)
Arizona (13,111)
As of 2012 coal accounted for 37% of electricity production in the United States, down from 50% in 2005. Concern about global warming in the US – especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Al Gore‘s receipt of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his raising awareness of climate change – temporarily increased public opposition to new coal-fired power plants. Simultaneously with these events, the anti-coal movement in the US – similar to that in the UK and Australia – had made coal-fired power projects more politically costly, and spurred further shifts in public opinion against coal-fired power.

Today, President Obama is expected to announce more stringent regulations that would inevitably put King Coal to bed. As noted above, power generation by coal has been in a slippery slope for the past decade. But with tougher regulations we can expect tough times for coal producing states. This does not bode well for employment in the coal industry including those railroads who haul it to market. The days of coal are over.

Make no mistake about it the war on coal has been a Democrat agenda for the past two decades. What really surprised us is that the states with the most to lose voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012; for instance Colorado, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Now that their head is on the table they are the proverbial canary in the coal mine. And don’t for get these are union men and women who have been back stabbed.

One more tidbit, Obama has now joined with the POPE in tackling global climate change. Do we remember the fuss when John F. Kennedy ran. They were afraid that Kennedy, a Catholic, would cede the presidency to Rome; fifty years later Obama has done so.

TRUMP INTERVIEW – MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN – JEB BUSH “CITIZENSHIP FOR ILLEGALS”

Click here for the latest Trump interview. “Make America Great Again”

Jeb Bush, legalize illegals. Apparently Bush fails to realize that the illegal alien progeny is responsible for over thirty million (30,000,000) anchor babies. That is the gift we gave these illegals. Isn’t that enough already? No other country would give citizenship to the (important read) anchor baby.

GHOST FACTORY

August 1, 2015 thenewbostonteaparty 6 Comments

Smarten up folks, the future is now. Maybe the politicians can b.s. their way on how they create jobs, but the fact is that they can’t. Job creation is the result of product demand which creates supply. Supply results when land, capital and labor combine and are put into production. However, there is a problem here, the labor factor is quickly becoming a non-factor. Case in point, steel mini mills require a skeleton crew to operate; Nucor is the most recognized name in the steel business.

The Nucor Culture can be summarized in five areas: decentralized management philosophy, performance based compensation, egalitarian benefits, customer serviceand quality, and technological leadership. Underlying these elements is the fact that none of Nucor’s plants, whether built from scratch or acquired, are unionized. Nucor is opposed to unions, believing them to be a destructive force in the US steel industry. No Nucor plant has ever held a successful union certification election, even though Nucor management has not engaged in the controversial “union busting” tactics adopted by other companies. The company has never laid off an employee due to a work shortage.

Robots have replaced humans in the manufacture of automobiles. This has been an ongoing process for the past twenty five years. Manufactures are always embracing new technologies particularly when it comes to saving on labor. Plastic may have been the future 45 years ago, but today the future is robotics. That is the case in China where the factory floor that once had 600 workers is all but devoid of humans; a slimmed down crew of 60 producing 160% more than the human run plant. According to the management, the crew soon will be whittled down to 20 employees. This is not a “fire in the theater” warning, this is the new paradigm.

Companies worldwide are now in the first and second stages to replace temperamental employees. Robots don’t call in sick. Those without the skills to compete in today’s world are out of luck. Not a good sign for the future.One might add that if unemployment scales up to a large degree who will buy the production of these automated factories. Excellent question! However, there will always be enough of those with the financial means to buy the products produced. One point to remember, revolutions do start when a major shift in incomes take place. Just a reminder of what the future may hold.

As the influx of Muslims and Hispanics hit our shores and those across the big pond, the future job prospects are rather bleak indeed. Look for more agitation, more racists provocation, more demands, but most of all more guff from our politicians who want more money to solve the problem. The problem is that they, the parasitic pandering politician, has created this mess in the first place.

SO SHE IS PHYSICALLY FIT, BUT SHE IS NOT MENTALLY FIT

So, she is physically fit to run for President; so what! Is she mentally fit. We demand that she be examined by a psychiatrist. Our bet, the diagnosis will read something like this: mentally unstable, fits of depression, a pathological liar, lacks empathy, charlatan personality and most of all an EGOMANIAC.

Hillary is not even fit to be dog catcher let alone the president. A quick back of the envelope calculation of Clinton’s income since 2007 yields $135,000,000 or close to $20,000,000 per year. But don’t forget the money donated to the Clinton Foundation; a cookie jar all by itself.

LION LIVES MATTER

July 31, 2015 thenewbostonteaparty 102 Comments

Where is the lion killer? Not so brave when he doesn’t have a gun. Zimbabwe wants him “dead or alive.”

By now all the world knows of the (click for story) lion killer. An American Dentist specifically travelled to Zimbabwe for a trophy kill. This was not a man being attacked or threatened by the king of the jungle, but a wanton cold blooded murder. The lions among us want justice; and we want it now. We want the dentist’s hide for he is the beast of the jungle.

Persons with a killer mindset hunting unprotected animals are at the very least deranged human beings. Traveling far distances to satisfy their thirst for blood manifests inferiority. Where is their next hunt, a school, a theatre, a stadium?

We must unleash all the power within us to stop this activity. One way to do it is through the use of AK-47s fitted drones . Patrolling the savannah to protect these animals, who are on the verge of extinction is appropriate. Kill the human killers before they can do any more damage. Once a trophy hunter is mounted it will give pause to the many who might entertain such activity. They may be the next mounting. Let them pay the ultimate price – jungle kill will soon be eaten by the their would be targets.

In days gone by they through the Christians to the lions; that may not be a bad idea today.

(click for pictures)We love you Cecil, you will always be in our hearts; we will never forget the happiness you brought to the millions of your fans world over. Walter Palmer and Cecil the lion

THINK REPUBLICANS HAVE A PROBLEM?

Quote of the day, no, of the week, make that a month, yet it probably is quote of the year!

No, DECADE. Wait a minute. It’s the greatest quote EVER!

“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I’m glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”

– Hillary Clinton 11 March 2015

Could someone please tell us what the hell she just said?

And she is running for president.

SHE IS A LYING THIEF – TURNOVER THAT SERVER

July 29, 2015 thenewbostonteaparty 10 Comments

Hillary Clinton is a lying thief; torching government records, America’s records and then lying about the circumstances of their disappearance. These are criminal acts. Clinton purposely destroyed records that would incriminate her in pay to play schemes, but most of all the Benghazi affair.

Where is our attorney general on this? Nowhere to be found. The ten Republicans who voted for Loretta Lynch should call for Clinton’s arrest. Don’t expect them to – they are RINO’s. The Sargent at Arms has not only th power but the authority to arrest Clinton. Also, the FBI, as they have done in the past can bring a SWAT team to Chappaqua, NY, use a battering ram to enter Clinton’s house and secure the server. “AMERICAN’S ARE CALLING FOR JUSTICE” Clinton is a killer, responsible for the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in the Benghazi attack.

CAN “THE DONALD” BEAT THE ODDS

July 27, 2015 thenewbostonteaparty 28 Comments

The mogul previously own and ran casinos; he knows that the odds always favor the house. In this case the House is the Republican stalwarts who are being beaten at their own game. Many a gambler knows when it is time to hold ‘m, fold ‘m or walk away from the table, but for the GOP a whale in their midst brings considerable risk.

Continuing to set limits on his play will only work to his advantage. Right now the house is not in a position to shut off his credit. He comps his own game. Main stream Republicans are bolting to the Trump campaign to the consternation of the RNC. Money flow has suddenly evaporated to the lesser known wanna bees. This was not the scenario contemplated six months ago.

However, when a whale (high roller in casino parlance) shows up a good casino manager knows that there is always a slim chance of the odds turning against the house. And so far the Trumps run has been a very devastating for the GOP who have lost some of their invincible allure. With Donald in play the rules have changed, decorum is out, exposing the Repubacrats for what they are is a game changer.

THE TEN REPUBLICAN PATSIES DO OBAMA’S BIDDING

July 27, 2015 thenewbostonteaparty 18 Comments

With the Congress in Republican hands things have gotten a lot worse. This is best manifested by the ten Republicans who voted to confirm Loretta Lynch as attorney genera. These mutineers are deserving of repudiation for their treason to conservative principles and most of all by turning their back on the voters who elected them. Don’t ever forget who they are.

LORETTA LYNCH CONFIRMED WITH TEN REPUBLICAN VOTES

The Senate voted 56-43 this afternoon to confirm Loretta Lynch as Attorney General. Ten Republicans voted for confirmation: Kelly Ayotte, Ron Johnson, Mark Kirk, Rob Portman, Thad Cochran, Susan Collins, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, Orrin Hatch and Mitch McConnell.

HUCKABEE CHASTISED FOR SAYING THAT THE IRAN DEAL IS MARCHING ISRAEL TO THE DOOR OF THE OVEN

July 27, 2015 thenewbostonteaparty 6 Comments

To those who know Mike Huckabee they are not surprised when he said that the Obama Iran deal is akin to “marching Israel to the door of the ovens.” Mike tells it like it is.

What is also not surprising is the mouth of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a pathetic foot soldier for Obama. She said, ““This rhetoric, while commonplace in today’s Republican presidential primary, has no place in American politics,” Wasserman Schultz said, according to CNN. “Cavalier analogies to the Holocaust are unacceptable. Mike Huckabee must apologize to the Jewish community and to the American people for this grossly irresponsible statement.”

It is obvious that Schultz, who by the way is of the Jewish persuasion if you didn’t know it already, is in need of a history lesson. But more to the fact, this lady can’t see the forest from the trees. She is the kind of uninitiated talking head who doesn’t know what is right from wrong. People like her that were living in Germany prior to WWII gave a blind eye to Germany subsequent to Kristallnacht. Iran is on the same path, total destruction of the Jewish state and Jews like Schultz will once again turn a blind eye as they too walk into the ovens.
