As European Countries Go Bankrupt- Bad Time To Be in American Stock Market

Of course with American investment firms ripping-off their clientele- now's not a good time to be IN the American stock market just for that reason.

But looking across The Big Pond- we see the nation of Greece about to declare bankruptcy with Portugal right behind them.

The so-called "recovery" from America's "recession (Depression)" had begun only in banks that invested badly and were bailed-out handsomely by American tax dollars.

The banks turned around and raised their fees and credit card interest rates- screwing the American taxpayer TWICE.

Well-paying manufacturing jobs continue to leave for Third-World countries- American workers continue to see layoffs- pay-freezes and more work since there's less workers.

There is NO job security in the U.C.S.A..


You BEST hold on TIGHT to what you have now- liquidate ANY outside investments- and pray like MAD the tidal wave from Europe diminishes before it hits America.

Woman Murdered By Random Gunfire in South KC-MO

From accounts by all who knew and loved her- 37-year-old Helen Ragan was a wonderful wife- mother- friend and Human Being.


Ms. Ragan- a married mother of four- worked as a school bus driver for the Blue Valley school district.

Helen's life came to an end around 10 p.m. Monday night when a bullet- fired by unknown person or persons- pierced the walls of her apartment in the 11600 block of Holiday Drive and killed her. 

That happened right in front of her husband and her 4 male children were also in the apartment.

KC-MO Police have no clues on who fired the shots that also damaged a neighbor's apartment.


Our sincere condolences to Helen Ragans' family and friends- and we too pray the person who fired the shots is soon brought to Justice.

On Top of Taxes- Eudora KS Schools Will Soon Charge It's Students

Imagine you have a family with 5 children and you're in the Eudora school district.

Now- on top of your educational property tax dollars along with the other costs associated with sending 5 kids to public schools- it will cost you $50 PER CHILD just to have them attend that school in the fall- according to The EUDORA (KS) NEWS.

America's educational system already ranks low with the rest of the world- so I'm JUST assuming this $50 surcharge is "for the children" as governments always like to say.

Oh Eudora residents- can we raise your OTHER taxes a bit to make up the government's other deficits?


You can get the boss to give YOU a raise (HaHa) to make up YOUR deficit....

Oil Spill From Exploded Gulf of Mexico Platform Threatens Hundreds of Miles of Beaches

"Drill- drill- drill" said those who think we should squeeze every gallon of oil from the Earth in and around America.


Now- there's about 42000 gallons of oil per day flowing unchecked into the Gulf of Mexico waters off Louisiana- Mississippi- Alabama and Florida- threatening to wash onto beaches at all of those states.

The timetable to stop the leak from the exploded oil-drilling platform that killed 11 people runs from later this week to 2 months from now.


Imagine- 2 months of 42000 gallons of free-flowing oil a day....

Another Video of Yazoo City MS Tornado

The tornado that swept from northeastern Louisiana across Mississippi almost to the Alabama border was large and partially hidden in clouds and rain at times- as you can see by the accompanying screen-capture images.


Yesterday's video showed a massive wedge-shaped funnel approaching Yazoo City- today's video from the Associated Press shows only a dark- swirling cloud mass that is- for the most part- unrecognizable as a tornado.

I've seen these types of tornadoes- the last being in Pleasant Hill in 1977- and they are deceptive and VERY dangerous since there's no discernable funnel.


More severe weather is forecast later this week- Thursday and/or Friday- across the Central States- including Metro Kansas City.

Storm Chaser Caught Mississippi Tornado on Video

The tornadic storm that sliced across the middle of Mississippi on Saturday had the appearance of a massive- semi rain-wrapped wedge of counter-clockwise swirling winds.

The BING map shows the track of the tornado(es?)- from just west of the Mississippi River in Louisiana all the way across the state to near the Alabama border near Columbus MS..


This storm chaser caught the storm southwest of Yazoo City and followed the twister into YC before he stopped to assist local emergency workers in rescues.

Bear in mind that the forward speed of this storm was 50 to 60 mph!


At least 10 people were killed- most in west-central and central Mississippi.
