“How about his mother who is paying for her?”

local mosque collection basket?

[Daveinyork]

Talk about providing the tools for our own gravedigging.

I thinking more like the Muslims in the white house..Wouldn’t the local mosque collection basket go to the terrorist that are trying to kill us..

To get the $$$total ——it will take awhile for stupid govt factotums to sort throught the multiple identites the Tsarnaev’s established -—to ride the US gravy train.

You can bet they collected from every govt money pool out there——several times over-—and stupid govt officials signed off on all of it.

How stupid? After all, these are the people who voted in Kennedy, the Frank-ster, Kerry, Deval and Menino (barf.)

Well I saw a pic of her the other day and she was carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag. They must not be doing too bad.

If every month just one in every 50 people use the free phone to get a job, then...
Assumptions:

• The job pays $24000/year
• The tax rate is 10%
• The cost of the phone is $10/month.

Results:

• At the end of 3 months with 6 out of 100 people working, new monthly taxes would exceed the cost of the phone program.
• At the end of 2 years, 36% would have jobs, and the tax income would be more than 10 times the cost of the phone program.

<>P>I don't really have a problem with the government giving poor people phones. I'm more concerned about the outsourcing of our industries to communist countries and the availability of jobs for Americans who want to work or outright fraud to take advantage of the EIC.

Seriously with a recent estimate of over $1 billion dollars paid out in fraudulent claims under the EIC. Free $10/month phones are the least of our worries.

Still waiting to hear whether they were on Section 8 housing.

Latest news on FOX is that the trigger mechanism came from a toy racing car speed control unit. This requires LINE OF SIGHT ~ and works within 250 yards ~ or 750 feet ~ which means EVERYBODY in most of the pictures we've seen of the explosions could have been a party to the event. Somebody on top of a building along the route, or along the sidewalk, or a runner?

The newsies added that the AlQaida affiliated magazine did not have instructions on how to use the toy race car controls.

Another thought on that matter ~ the FBI put together a composite video of the two perps marching down the street. They did so in a peculiar manner that suggested the one to the rear was matching the foot steps of the one in the lead. I suggested it was the pucker factor at work since these guys were carrying a bomb that could be set off by some kid playing with a similar device in the area. LIke to amplify on that ~ if there's a third party with the controller, they definitely wanted to make sure that person fiddling around with the device didn't accidentally trigger it with them IN SIGHT ~ so they did a modification of broken field running ~ moving from side to side, closer, further away, traveling just a bit faster than the people on the sidewalk so they could keep stepping in front of them ~ and all to stay out of the line of sight of the trigger mechanism.

Then they planted their bombs.

Add further that THEY may not have known who had the trigger! That finally brings into play the Saudis in the vicinity of the explosions. One more time they become subjects of interest. And so does Michelle Obama.

“...Latest news on FOX is that the trigger mechanism came from a toy racing car speed control unit. This requires LINE OF SIGHT ~ and works within 250 yards ~ or 750 feet...”

I wonder if the Saudi national had the remote trigger device?

I wonder what suspicious activity he was doing that got him tackled? I further wonder why he was that close to the explosion that he got injured.

Maybe this explains a lot.

[The_Media_never_lie]

I wondered also what his suspicious activities got him tackled by a bystander? I’ll bet the tackling bystander is in hiding for his life.

[muawiyah]

Absolutely, and that ends up implicating the President's wife in the crime, or at least the conspiracy behind the crime.

There's a fibbie out there who's ready to bust a gut over this.

[The_Media_never_lie]

If Djokar had not been Mirandized by Holder, he could tell us how he set off the bomb.
