April 26, 2010 is a historic date at the Hubbard City Cafe. On this day Billy Roy Mitchum announced at least a Nationwide Movement for All American Citizens to "unite to protect our borders, enforce our Immigration Laws, and throw anyone who opposes these actions out of office starting with that Bozo in the White House." BM went on to declare this movement enlisted a call to the following folks, "All American Citizens including even White Men, Asians, Euros, All Women, and most of all, the citizens who are hurt the most by illegal immigration, that being Latino Citizens and Latinos with legal work permits, and most of all, Blacks. Blacks are the citizens who suffer the most by lost jobs to illegals, welfare programs, and the nanny state pushed on them by Liberal Elitist Dems and Racial Justice Pimps like Al Sharpton."
Yesterday, BM expounded even more, "Things in this country have gone upside down. Things that used to be right or now declared wrong by the Mean Media, Atheists, and Socialist Libs. Something like erecting a cross on a hill to celebrate World War I Vets at one time was the right thing to do. Now, even when the Supreme Court protects our rights to put up a cross on a hill ,what the press calls vandals, steal the cross and destroy it. At one time it was right to protect our borders and enforce our laws. Today, Pelosi is urging the Catholic Church to support amnesty for 15m Illegal Mexicans so that they will re-elect Obama. It used to be right for people to get good educations, work hard, and make money. Now it is bad that those same greedy people are not spreading their money around enough to those uneducated and many illegal folks who don't work. How did we go upside down like this?"
Well, a friend of mine in Austin, Texas has contacted Billy Roy and offered his services in researching things of significance to, what the folks at the Cafe are now calling, THE CITIZEN'S MOVEMENT.
My analyst friend has closely studied two families. One he calls Joe Legal and the other, Jose Illegal. Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California, of all places. Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted. Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Ready, because this requires some concentration? Now pay attention... Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00. Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00 compared to Joe Legal's $31,231,00, and it ain't over.
Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Oops, Joe Legal now has $24,031.00. Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00. Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00. Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $9,631.00. Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year for his rent. Jose Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.
And it goes on, Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00. Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has $31,200.00. Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc. Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work. Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family. Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home. Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, But Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
Billy Roy is fond of saying, "We may be dumb, but we aren't completely stupid." He says, "Surely our Ciitzens can grasp this? And again just this week that witch, Pelosi, was calling on good Catholics to support amnesty for illegals. This is the same witch who tells Catholics that when life begins in the womb should not interfere with a woman's right to choose abortion. But I digress, If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens (code name Comprehensive Immigration Reform)... YOU are part of the problem! Look, this is all about American Citizens against those who want to not transform our country but want to destroy our country."

Ripley's Got Nuthin Compared to Willie Mae Mills
Mrs. Willie Mae Mills, 99, of Hubbard passed away Monday, April 19, 2010. If submitted, Willie Mae would easily win a Ripley's Believe It or Not award. But first, the story:
I was pre-school aged when my Mom and Dad got a rare divorce for those times, and she, my brother Mack, and I moved to Hubbard to live with my Great Grandmother who had no indoor plumbing at the time. Living 'catty-cornered' from us was the Mills family. They had a somewhat large impact on my life.
Lemma Mills, the daughter who was a twin, was a gorgeous red head who became a twirler in high school and married a banker. From the day I saw her I loved beautiful girls.
Livy Mills, the son who was a twin, was one of the first T Formation Quarterbacks in the 1950's. I became a Quarterback.
Otto Mills, the oldest son, taught me in Math and coached football when I was in High School. I majored in Mathematics and Physical Education in college.
The father, Bill Mills, was my honorary father on Football Dad's Night all four years I was in High School. Also, he was always there to repair my Vespa Motor Scooter at my beckon call. Till this day, I rely on other people to fix anything mechanical or electrical or whatever.
And now the real story, Willie Mae Mills. When Otto joined the football team as a freshman in high school, Mom (better known to Bloggers as Maxine) suggested that Willie Mae see his first game. At the time she had never seen a football game and had no interest in such. Well, Mom drove the Mills to that first game, and it began a Ripley's feat. You see Willie Mae proceeded to attend Hubbard High football games, both home and away, for the next 61 years (yep, that 61 is no typo) without missing one game.
One year Willie Mae delayed her heart surgery so that she could finish the season. Rain, snow, ice, winds, it didn't matter. Win or lose, good team/bad team, it didn't matter. This little 90 lb. red headed woman sat right in the middle of the "football stands" cheering at the top of her little lungs. I never walked off the field after a game that I didn't look for Mrs. Mills seeking her approval. In fact the greatest compliment I have ever received came from Bill Mills. He said that I was one of the "guttiest" players to come from Hubbard. Not very good, but gutty.
Two years ago Willie Mae fell and broke her hip causing her to attend only one game and breaking her 61 year streak. Last year she only attended home games.
When Willie Mae suffered a stroke and was in the hospital a few weeks back, the local Baptist Minister, Ricky Woodall, visited her. Rev. Woodall told Willie Mae that he knew she was trying to live a few more months to reach her 100th birthday. Ricky made a ruling right on the spot. He told her that when you count her "womb" time that she had already made her goal. She was 100 years of age. Willie Mae joined her Savior in perfect peace having achieved her goals and then some.
About 4 months ago I drove by Willie Mae's house and saw her rocking on her front porch. I stopped and sat with her on the swing for a good hour. What a great time I had as she pointed 'catty-cornered' across the street and reminisced, not to mention the world class hugs as I arrived and departed. She could really squeeze you to be so small.
If you have a Willie Mae in your life, do yourself a favor, and get your butts to visit them as fast as you can.

This Week's Big Issues at Hubbard Coffee Houses
Occasionally it may help readers to understand Hubbard City politics by simply listing the top three issues of each of the three major political forces, that being the Cafe, Drug Store, and Dairy Queen. My polling this week resulted in the following list:
This Weeks Most Important Issues:
Drug Store Liberal Issues:
1. Concern that Tea Party People and Conservative Talk Show Hosts are criticizing the Obama Government, and there is an imminent danger that they may ignite violence in some red neck right wing nut case.
2. Support of criticism, boycotts, and demonstrations against the State of Arizona which has passed an Illegal Immigration Law that makes current Federal Illegal Immigration Laws enforceable at the State level as well. These protest actions are to prevent Arizona from enforcing what the Federal Government will not enforce.
3. Support of the the Pentagon and the Obama Administration who have taken action to ban Reverend Franklyn Graham from speaking at the National Day of Prayer rally because Rev. Graham has been critical of Muslim nation's treatment of women and their discrimination of all non-Islamic religions. Agree with Obama's decision to not play religious favorites by not going to any of the Prayer meetings for the second straight year.
City Cafe Conservative Issues:
1. Calling for the Obama administration to fund, focus, and staff key Defense, State, and Homeland Security leadership positions with competent personnel with the intent to protect the American people by fighting a War on Terror instead of treating terrorists as Enemy Combatants reading them Miranda Rights, lawyering up terrorists, and claiming the US is a "Muslim Nation" while coddling the Iranians as we hope they don't build nuclear weapons. Current Obama practices rely on Tee Shirt Salesmen to spot terrorist (who trained for 4 mos. with the Taliban) in Times Square while whimpering about the possibility of weak sanctions with UN so-called partners who like Ahmadinejad better than Hillary Clinton.
2. Protect the US and Mexican border by using the National Guard until fences can be completed and the Border Patrol can be staffed appropriately. Enforce laws that prevent employers from hiring illegals while revamping immigration procedures to create legal work permits where applicable. Additionally, provide more assistance to the country of Mexico in fighting their drug war and spurring economic growth in that country since they are our neighbor.
3. Urge Obama to appoint competent Energy experts to his administration that will work with Congress and Industry to develop a Comprehensive Energy Independence strategy for the US that includes the safe and economic development of Fossil Fuels, Wind, Solar, and Nuclear Energy. Stop blaming British Petroleum for a rig blowout that they leased from Transocean, the world’s biggest offshore drilling contractor and before anyone knows what really happened in the Gulf. For example in the event of a serious emergency, there are multiple Panic Buttons to hit. None of them were apparently activated, suggesting that the blowout which killed at least 12 people was especially swift to escalate at the surface sending flames visible up to about 35 miles away. They were 200 – 300 ft high. Competent leaders get the facts and address the crisis. Sleazy politicians play the blame game.
Dairy Queen Moderate Issues:
1. This Arizona law thing must be bad because Arnold the Terminator, the Bushs, and Obama all don't like it.
2. While the Dems said the new Health Care Plan would solve all our problems and the Right Wingers said it would bankrupt us, I just went to my doctor and it was just the same way its always been. Just like we thought. Nothing happening either way.
3. These arguments about how we treat people who attempt to blow up Times Square and what we do with the Iranians reminds me of the Los Angeles riots. It took a truck driver named Rodney King to ask, "Why can't we all just get along?"
Well, there you have it. Now you can decide where you will have your coffee as you drive through Hubbard.
