Brawl At Social Services
Office Caught On Video

Fox2Now [St. Louis, MO], by Andy Banker

Original Article

Posted By:MissMolly, 1/25/2013 4:48:22 AM

EAST ST. LOUIS, IL. – An alarming video of a Tuesday afternoon brawl at a social services office in East St. Louis had workers and clients concerned for their safety and brought calls for action. A witness told FOX2 it began as a dispute over a place in line. In spite of all the flying fists, there have been no arrests. Workers and clients said that had to change. State and local authorities didn`t know about the video until FOX 2 News alerted them. East St. Louis Mayor, Alvin Parks, called for metal detectors at office at 9th and Missouri.

One woman had scissors!

East St. Louis is just another Detroit. If you get a flat tire there, you keep going, regardless.

And the Mayor of East St. Louis said: He said in today’s climate of mass shootings, such behavior was unacceptable, especially at a state office serving large numbers of people. That boy is obviously a product of public schools and a good reason to stop throwing money at them. That is the stupidest thing I´ve heard since that parasite Marian Barry said: "If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very very low crime rate." This is the outcome of decades of pandering to idiots.

Prepare for more of this as the government runs out of money, too. People get upset when you take away their free stuff. After they tear each other and the offices and hoods apart, that´s when they start heading towards your house.

This is why they want us disarmed, they see it coming, too.

A brawl over your place in line to get a handout you didn´t earn. A handout that originates from the government taking from those who have earned it but by law can not keep it.

In the sense of survival of the fittest if you win this fight you are first in line to receive stolen property. But because it is from the government it is legal.

What will happen when those that have earned it but can not keep it get into their brawling mood?

Hmmm, perhaps food stamps could be delivered personally to the "impoverished" and they could get them from the mailbox after they wake up at noon. That may avoid some "friction" between the obama-stash-takers, but I doubt it. BTW, those four unfortunate women look a lot stronger and healthier than most of the Senior citizens I know who are STILL working because they have enough pride to not want handouts. What a country!

Last summer our government purchased huge quantities of ammunition. They claimed it was based on some kerfuffle at a social security office here in MA. I read nothing about the incident in our local news, but the government never lies.
Last summer, my husband and I visited the social security office to find out about registering for social security. We waited two hours with several other elderly couples. Young, able-bodied women, well dressed, loaded with gold jewelry and the latest iphones, paraded in and out of that office. Went immediately to the window, picked up something (I couldn´t tell what)then left in their expensive new cars. Us elderly finally left, un-served, because the office was closing. Not one elderly person was served while we were there but there were an awful lot of young women being served. I have no idea what was going on.

Hmmm. I retired out of the Metro area to rural Virginia. Couple of years ago went to the Soc. Sec office for registration. Surprise upon entering; Take a number [good idea], but the staff was behind bank like glass, with an armed guard. Also a gun free zone, in an area with 90 people per sq mile. Flashbacked back to DC Metro area.

The upside here is that the takers get to experience the same level of stellar government employee service that the rest of us get at the DMV, SS, etc.

One of the interviewees on local TV here in St. Louis was talking about how long the wait was and it was natural that tempers were flaring. Might be late for their weave appointment--gotta use the Obama-phone to tell her I´ll be running a little behind.

The caseworkers there are each responsible for over 1800 families/household apiece. Folks do sometimes have to wait hours to be seen but it seems that the fight was of a more intimate nature---seems that the women had been involved with each other and it didn´t end well.

MIAMI -- Lilly Pulitzer hosted parties in her bare feet and wasn´t afraid to get a little messy - just as long as she looked good and had fun, too. In the late 1950s, the Palm Beach socialite had time to spare and a wealthy husband who owned citrus groves, so she opened an orange juice stand just off the island´s main shopping street. Pulitzer needed to hide all the juice stains on her clothes,though. Instead of just putting on an apron, she asked her seamstress to make some sleeveless dresses

Still OK to withdraw welfare benefits
at ATMs in Colorado strip clubs
Daily Caller, by Greg Campbell    Original Article
Posted By: MissMolly- 4/7/2013 5:49:05 AM     Post Reply
An attempt by Colorado lawmakers to ban welfare recipients from withdrawing their benefits at ATMs located inside strip clubs was killed by Democrats Thursday night, even though the state House’s third-ranking Democratic legislator supported the measure. Democratic Rep. Dan Pabon lent his support to the Republican-led proposal, offered as an amendment during a debate on the state budget Thursday night, because it would hew to a similar federal rule, according to the Denver Post. Pabon introduced a bill on the issue two years ago, but it didn’t clear the state Senate. State welfare recipients receive their benefits

Cruel founding fathers

Add the name of Michelle Lynne (ne Robert) Kosilek to the list of modern phenomena the Founding Fathers would definitely not appreciate being blamed for. Little did they know what havoc they would someday wreak by adding the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution to prohibit “cruel and unusual punishment.” Now comes Kosilek, a convicted wife murderer doing life without parole. He/she is claiming that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to deny him/her a sex-change operation — excuse me, “gender-reassignment surgery.”Not to get too graphic, but Kosilek is begging for elective amputation of a body part.

PLEASE don’t ask me this anymore. It’s such a silly question. Of course Hillary is running. I’ve never met a man who was told he could be president who didn’t want to be president. So naturally, a woman who’s told she can be the first commandress in chief wants to be. “Running for president is like sex,” James Carville told me. “No one ever did it once and forgot about it.” Joe Biden wants the job. He’s human (very). But he’s a realist. He knows the Democratic Party has a messianic urge to finish what it started

Two very bad and extremely dangerous economic developments happened yesterday — and Wall Street appeared to miss both of them. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 40.86 points to 14565.25 after the Labor Department announced that the seasonally adjusted number of new jobs created in March was just 88,000 — far below the 190,000 or so Wall Street expected. The March figure was also less than one-third the number of jobs created during February. This led to the misperception that the job market tanked in March. It didn’t.

Duck Dynasty must make liberals heads explode. It is now the most popular “non-scripted” show currently on television. Its Season 3 premiere had 8.6 million viewers and a massive 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which as you might know, is quite popular with the advertisers. At the same time, each episode ends with the entire family at the dinner table where they pray before eating. Indeed, the Robertson clan is entirely evangelical. They take their faith in Christ seriously and exert quite a bit of effort preaching the gospel. The patriarch of the family, Phil, used to live

Ohio’s Mike DeWine, Alabama’s Luther Strange and Georgia’s Sam Olens, eat your hearts out: President Barack Obama thinks California’s Kamala Harris is the belle of the ball among the nation’s top government lawyers. “She’s brilliant and she’s dedicated, she’s tough … She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general,” Obama said at a Democratic National Committee luncheon in Atherton, Calif., Thursday. “It’s true! C’mon.” Obama’s remark set the chattering class atwitter. Certainly, Obama meant no insult, but in singling out Harris for her looks, Obama joins a long list of public figures

It must be something in the water at the State Department — every secretary sooner or later develops an insatiable yearning to be the guy or gal who finally unlocked the secret to Middle East peace. Now Kerry has the peace process bug. The State Department spokeswoman did her best to lower expectations. (“His diplomacy will be based on what he hears from the parties”), but it was hard to conceal what a fruitless endeavor this is. Indeed, it is downright bizarre that while North Korea is saber-rattling, the Syrian war sends reverberations through the region,

Fee? What fee? : The Met denies

Art lovers, put away your wallets: In a surprise statement today, the Met said that it’s never tried to paint over rules requiring it to let anyone in for free. Lots of art connoisseurs know that the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s $25 admission charge is just a suggestion, and that you can get in by paying what you want, or nothing at all. But a lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court last November says the Met hides that policy from visitors. And two weeks ago, a former supervisor at the museum told The Post that he’d arranged for security officers

How to Survive a Sex Scandal:
Mark Sanford Edition

Posted By: MissMolly- 4/5/2013 5:17:44 AM     Post Reply
How do you survive a sex scandal? Public-relations reps and crisis-communications counselors have made careers of dispensing advice on such matters. And so the usual counsel follows a fairly trite and untested path: Be honest from the start. Apologize. Make sure your wife stands behind you. Hogwash, for the most part. Everyone apologizes, nearly everyone’s wife is supportive, and no one is honest from the start. But still some politicians survive sordid situations, and some do not. Why? Let’s allow history to be our guide. There are more than enough examples to choose from. It was only Tuesday that former South Carolina governor

Shocker. Having failed to end Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s congressional career at the polls, the left is now moving to do it the old-fashioned way: Bork Bachmann unto political death. The problem? This really is the old-fashioned way. And any conservative even semi-awake recognizes the game instantly. In this case the game being played with the so-called Office of Congressional Ethics, the OCE. This is what we now call “Borking.” The method of choice of liberals when they are frustrated by the public’s attachment or potential attachment to a political figure on the Right.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
