Funs, Mr. President


Obama Pokes Fun At “Birthers”

Interesting moment from Obama’s speech this morning at the National Prayer Breakfast, per the White House transcript:

Civility also requires relearning how to disagree without being disagreeable; understanding, as President [Kennedy] said, that “civility is not a sign of weakness.” Now, I am the first to confess I am not always right. Michelle will testify to that. [Laughter.]

But surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith, or, for that matter, my citizenship. [Laughter and applause.]

The Obama team has been generally reluctant for him to directly engage the most visceral conspiracy-mongering about him, perhaps out of a reluctance to elevate it. The comfort level with poking fun at the “birthers” suggests the White House may see birtherism as permanently marginalized and discredited.

The Plum Line

Not so funny, after all:

The crowd applauded and laughed. The president did not.

Meroni v. McHenry County Grand Jury—DENIED


From Reality Check blog talk radio, 9PM 8PM tonight:

I will review the Meroni v McHenry County Grand Jury case from Illinois.I have invited the pro se plaintiff, Sharon Meroni, aka Chalice Jackson of Patriot Hearts Network to call. WILL SHE SHOW??

Most of the records from this case are now available on Jack Ryan’s SCRIBD page. Now we know exactly what the plaintiff wanted in the super secret case where even the plaintiff’s name was secret. Now we know the details and the outcome. What’s next? Maybe Chalice will be able to tell us.

The most skillful lawyers from Politijab just might call and discuss why the plaintiff’s motion was denied and whether any significant issues were raised in the case.

Listen here at 9PM 8PM Eastern tonight.

(Update: The time was changed to accommodate Chalice, but she didn’t show up anyway. What a chicken shit Birfoon dear, timid soul she is. God Bless.)

The Case:

Meroni et al v. McHenry County Grand Jury Foreman and Grand Jury Members, Case No. 09MR399, 22nd Judicial Circuit for McHenry County, IL

The Order:

This matter coming before the Court for ruling on the Petitioners motion, all Parties being present, and the Court having considered the Petitioners motion that was originally filed before this Court, It is hereby ordered: The Petitioners motion is denied. There is no legal precedent that allows the Petitioner the particular redress that is sought.

The Public Record:

1 – Dec. 2, 2009 – Petition and Order to Sue or Defend as Poor Person; Emergency: Petition – For Redress before the McHenry County Grand Jury.

10 – Jan. 20, 2010 – ORDER Denying Petitioner’s [original] Motion.

Thank you to Bad Fiction for the docket compilation and for handing Sharon “Chalice” Meroni her false-witnessing, oh-so-Christian, traitor’s heart on a platter.

Bed. Made. Lie.

“Petitioner learned from a Patriot’s Heart volunteer, right after her name was published in the NW Herald, that her private information was sent out to a large community specifically dedicated to following, and in many cases creating mischief, to “Birthers,” as they call their targets. This group was purposefully posting information in their community about her professional Linked!n profile and personal Facebook profile in-order to call attention to her background for their further uses, and to “reveal to all” who Chalice Jackson is, and as a natural act for them as they pursue their mischief making at the expense of ‘birfers’. (Under Politijab exhibits)”

You mean the information that was freely available FROM YOUR OWN WEBSITE???

“Politijab is an organization, less than a year old, which has an Internet forum as its public base of communication. This forum has a public section and one for members only. The members’ only section is where threads to the birther posts are accessed. The purpose of this community is primarily to counter what they label as the “Birther” or “Birfer” community. Since inception, they go out to other internet groups where birther communicate together to wreck havoc amongst these communities. Arguably, some engage in public debate on issues they are passionate about. Additionally, some purposefully with organization and with bravado seek to dismantle and destroy those they call Birthers along with their respective communities.”

And yet it’s funny that their legal track record is so good in predicting birther cases that one Sharon Meroni ACTUALLY WENT TO POLITIJAB to discuss her legal questions. Funny thing that.

“With blood in the water, they slash a’nd flail for food, attacking and critiquing her every word; degrading her answers, her views, and her religious faith.”

“WAHHH!! They didn’t believe everything I demanded they believe!!”

This makes 64-0 losses for Birfoons.

Update: I hear that Meroni filed a motion this week in the circuit court and went before a different judge; that motion, too, was Denied. The most recent motion and the Court’s Memorandum Opinion and Order should be available on the court’s filing system by early next week. I will post links to those documents at that time.

Chalice/Meroni also mentioned it last night on The Patriotic Resistance:

On Jan. 20, I implored the court to seal my petition(s) (pp. 60, 75); … when I learned that someone “went through the process” to get the actual documents, I rushed into court yesterday to seek a TRO to prevent their publication …

Public records, Chalice, transparency and all that.

Taitz v. Obama Intervention Sought By Usurper-Buster Strunk


Christopher Earl Strunk, a “living soul,” has filed 81 pages of the crazy in a Motion to Intervene in Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.’s Quo Warranto, filed on January 27, which has not yet been granted leave by the DC District Court, as far as I can tell from the docket, although Taitz is claiming on her web site* that Judge Royce Lamberth has agreed to hear the case.

Having “fired” the “Usurper”—otherwise known as Barack Hussein Obama aka “Barry Soetoro” aka “Steve Dunham” aka “Birdie Obama”—on January 23, 2009, Strunk seeks a Temporary Restraining Order so that the “Usurper” will “cease and desist” performing duties as President of the United States until the court orders Congress to throw the “Usurper” out the door, in favor of Joe Biden.

In addition to a whole lot of other crazy, Strunk says he is owed more than $21.5 million plus legal costs, because:

The Plaintiff sues the Defendants for unjustly detaining the Plaintiffs goods and chattels, as the Usurper, Barack Hussein Obama, is ineligible to be the President of the United States Trustee / Administrator over any United States Departments and Secretaries with fiduciary responsibilities and the Usurper having been denied use of Plaintiffs power of Attorney on January 23,2009 has by Usurper’s continued actions that are void ab initio, including the waivers issued as to Defendant Secretaries and others, pillage Plaintiff’s personal property..

In a stamp applied over the Oath of Office taken by President Obama, Mr. Strunk assures us, he is, “In the special appearance”:

not a corporation; [but a] Living-Soul; Son-of-the-Most-High-God-Yaweh in existence nunc pro tunc the moment of Creation; Joint-Heir-With-His-Son Made Debt-Free with the Yashua; Payment (consideration) of His Blood; I Stand in the Kingdom of the Most-High-God Yaweh; Under reserve, without dishonor, without prejudice, without recourse in good faith, no dolus.

While attempting to enter the case as a third party intervenor, he warns the Clerk of the Court that he, Strunk, accepts no third party intervenors, so watch it, Clerk:

Should you refuse to record My documents, once deposited with you, you are committing a crime under Title 18 USC § 2071 and it is punishable by fines and imprisonment. If your attorney told you not to file any documents like mine, you are still responsible, as I do not accept any third party intervener’s. Any attorney, district attorney, or anyone from the lawyering craft are all third parties and do not have a license to make a legal determination in this matter as they do not represent Me and you, the county clerk, and do not have the authority to represent Me.

(Showing he knows his Redemption Manual.)

The stamp across the “Oath of Office” in Exhibit A reads (typed transcription):

Your” offer of contract is received and accepted for value. Timely, and without dishonor and with consideration IS RETURNED to “You” redrafted of my choosing WISHING NO CONTRACT with “You” in full accord under the UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (U.C.C) and FAIR DEBT COLLECTION REGULATION Z, TRUTH AND LENDING.

1. I do not know “You”
2. I do not know where “You” come from.
3. I do not understand “Your” intent.
4. I do not recognize “You.”
5. “You have fail(ed) to comply with 26 USC 6065 and others which require “Your” wet-ink autograph under the penalties of perjury.
6. “You” have fail(ed) to comply with 18 USC 61623.
7. “You” have fail(ed) to comply with the Constitution of the United States
8. “You” have fail(ed) to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

If “You” and all “You” – are representing Me or think “You” are representing Me “You” are Fired. “You” are Fired. “You” are Fired. “You” are hereby and forever Fired.

And you thought Orly Taitz was crazy by herself? Well, sure, she has to be if she involved Strunk in her case. He served the papers on her Quo Warranto in DC last week, so it appears they have been working together on this. Partners in the crazy, let the good times roll.

Might As Well


Over a hundred House Democrats are urging the Senate to use reconciliation to pass heatlhcare reform that includes a public option.

Progressives launched a campaign to revive the public option after Democrats lost their supermajority last month. Now that Democrats lack 60 votes to break a filibuster, it’s likely they will have to use reconciliation anyway in order to change parts of their bill that House Democrats object to.

In a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) today, 120 House Democrats say the Senate should seize that opportunity and include a public option.
