Food Cops going hog wild! Wait, hog is bad for you!

Here we go again, the Food Cops have gottten their hands on foie gras in California, and large sugared drinks in NYC
.
Viola!  I'm betting they've stopped obesity, diabetes, heart disease and saved the universe from alien zombies with these moves. 
.
Because no one can figure out any way around this, right?  Let's face it, people are just TOO damned stupid to buy TWO small mocha latte dog crappaccinos or two 15.9 oz Slurpees and dump them in a LARGE cup!  And I am likewise just as sure that anyone wealthy enough to be eating and buying foie gras in California, are now broke to drive or FLY elsewhere and get their foie gras fix!
.
Once again I find myself a rube who's all TOO happy, happy, happy to be living in 'fly over'.  Because out here, we're immune from being 'saved' by the Enlightened Elites who live in and run NYC and CA.
.
I'm gonna go get a Big Gulp and a couple double cheese and double sausage biscuits and some salty, greasy fries for breakfast.

Hopefully MANY more will follow him!

Arthur Davis one of President Obama's earliest supporters and a former co-chairman for his presidential campaign, announced Tuesday that he was leaving the Democratic Party for good.

In a post published Tuesday on his website, Davis was vague about his future political endeavors, but declared: “If I were to run, it would be as a Republican. And I am in the process of changing my voter registration from Alabama to Virginia, a development which likely does represent a closing of one chapter and perhaps the opening of another.”


Davis, who represented Alabama’s 7th Congressional District from 2003 to 2011, was notably the first member of Congress outside of Illinois to endorse then-Sen. Obama’s 2008 presidential bid. And it was Davis who seconded the official nomination of Obama at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.


Renouncing the party “is no light decision on my part,” he wrote. “Cutting ties with an Alabama Democratic Party that has weakened and lost faith with more and more Alabamians every year is one thing; leaving a national party that has been the home for my political values for two decades is quite another.”

But “wearing a Democratic label no longer matches what I know about my country and its possibilities,” he said.

 
.
 I can only wonder how many more rats will leave this sinking ship?
.
Of course I question anybody who supported Obama, and NOW wonders what happened to the Dems as a Party.  What part of their Socialistic /  Communistic / Totalitarian government style did he NOT understand?   This guy is 13 years younger than I am, he was born in 1967. 

What part of Democrat did he NOT understand in 1985 when he was first old enough to vote?

What part of Democrat did he NOT understand in 2000 when he was first ran for Congress?

What part of Democrat did he NOT understand in 2002 when he ran for re-election after 2 years IN Congress, among his 'fellow' Dems?

What part of Democrat did he NOT understand AFTER he'd been in Congress and kept running and winning?

And now, after running for AL Governor and losing AS a Democrat, well, NOW suddenly, his eyes are opened, about the Democrats not being right for the country?  PUH-lese!  Are you buying that? 

That is more outright, unadulterated BS than last Tues, when the g'sons tried to tell me they didn't know 'who' broke the TV remote in THEIR TV room!

Here's what I think. 

Davis is, evidently, smarter than many in the Big Lefty Dem House of Goofiness, and he sees the country might be making a shift to the RIGHT.  Rather than having to work for a living, he's gonna move to the Right and start over in Virginia as a Republican..  I hope the VA voters are not THAT dumb, and I hope Davis has to get a job at Burger King in Va Bch to make ends meet!

And I truly hope a whole BUNCH of Democrats need to start looking for jobs the first Wed in November!  Especially that jug eared galoot in the WH.

And Now, PC'izing Our Military

Disarming America
Navy's New Plan To Halt Re-enlistment
by Sanford Hughes

(Pacific Flyer) Bad news for squids and jarheads (our beloved sailors and Marines).
The Navy Department has figured a way to cut back on the expense of running a Navy and all those desert wastelands they call Marine bases.

Basically, stop all drinking, smoking and eating rich foods, test everyone all the time and eventually, there won't be anyone left to collect pay and pension benefits. Of course they didn't say that exactly. What they did say is, the Navy will "implement fleet-wide breathalyzer tests for sailors and Marines, crack down on smoking and drinking, and phase in many other major personnel policy changes, such as giving females three years off to birth babies instead of standing duty they signed up for."

The broad collection of new policies has been dubbed "21st Century Sailor and Marine," and reflected many "longstanding issues or goals" for the department by social engineers now seemingly in charge of the U.S. military. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert and Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Jim Amos unveiled the coming disaster but it isn't clear if the White House forced them into it or they went along willingly.

Juan Garcia (a civilian), assistant secretary of the Navy for manpower and reserve affairs, said that "21st Century" has five "pillars" - readiness, safety, physical fitness, inclusion and "continuum of service."
The Navy Department's basic goal is to get the most possible good out of every servicemember and keep them in the force for as long as possible before they come to their senses or just head for Canada. Officials said they hope anti-drinking, anti-smoking and physical fitness campaigns will make troops healthier, reduce accidents such as drunk driving and result in fewer missed work days over a sailor or Marine's career.
Contrast this with the British Navy which not only allows smoking but still issues a cupful of grog every day.

EVERYONE GETS SCREENED:
The highest profile new policy will be the fleetwide use of breathalyzers, which until now have only been tried sporadically in various parts of the Navy. Within the coming year, Garcia said, virtually all ships and many Marine units will begin fielding breathalyzers and a novel approach for using them.
"What we're stressing is this is not a punitive tool, not a legal tool, but instead it's an inspection and prevention tool," Garcia, who's obviously never been in the Navy, said, "leading chiefs to prevent career-ending or service-ending incidents." Of course, just the opposite will be true.

For example, all sailors coming aboard a ship for a duty shift after liberty will be screened with the breathalyzer, and the whole crew will be subject to random inspections. In addition to being deeply unpopular with sailors, the Navy's past breathalyzer experiments also have drawn skepticism from its own leaders: former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Joe Campa once observed that a breathalyzer on the brow could cause as many problems as it solved. A sailor or Marine who shows up for duty with a blood alcohol level above .08 will be sent to medical, his leaders and shipmates will be notified, and his case will rest in the hands of his commanding officer and noted in his record. That should do a lot for reenlistment figures.

NO SMOKING ANYTIME, ANYWHERE:
Tobacco and the synthetic marijuana-like drug known as "spice" are also on the hit list. The Navy Department will stop discounting tobacco products at exchanges and begin new rounds of tests to catch spice-smokers. Recent congressional action also means that, for the first time in decades, Navy warships may not go to sea with tobacco in their ships' stores. Navy officials want to duplicate what they say has been the success of the submarine force, which outlawed smoking at the beginning of 2011.
So much for having an after dinner cigar in the goat locker (chief's quarters).

WOMEN CAN GET THREE YEARS OFF:
It also will offer women new options to take time away from service to have children, then return to duty to pick up their careers. Women will be able to move into the inactive ready reserve for as long as three years, receive a stipend for not working, keep commissary and other benefits and use one permanent change of station to relocate. They'll incur a "two for one" obligation - meaning a woman who took the maximum three years off would owe the Navy or Marine Corps six additional years. Let's see how long that lasts.

BAD NEWS FOR RECRUITING OFFICERS:
Worse, for Chief Petty Officers and Gunnery Sergeants, the Navy and Marines will also step up a "year-round culture of fitness" to lean on servicemembers to keep fit. With all these sailors and Marines in better shape, drinking less and not smoking, the Navy Department wants to keep them in service for as long as possible, or, at least, until their enlistment is up. Of course, it may be impossible to get anyone to re-up since the men are unable to smoke or drink. And as all the women will be off having babies, who's going to run the ships, planes and shore bases in about four years?

Time to kill people, rape and riot!!

And all because the Iranians have burned Bibles!!! 
.
If turn about is fair play (it's not, but let's pretend it is) then WE should be able to march into a Mosque, or ALL the Mosques, and act like the Muslims did when some jerk flushed a Koran at Gitmo, right?  I'm talking beatings, stonings and murders!.
.
Yeah, except for the part where we understand the difference in right or wrong in the West.
.
The source for my diatribe is an article out of Iran and Turkey saying they've discovered a 'Bible' written by Barnabas, one of the Apostles, and that his 'Bible' that says ISLAM is the One True Faith.  I'm not going to address that part of this, you can decide for yourself the merits of their argument when you read the article.  I know what I believe, that's enough for me.

Of course, they think they're right too, and they'll kill you to prove their point.  What I wouldn't give to find someone Preaching about Peace & Islam.
.
It's a good thing for the Grand Ayotollah that I've got a Bee Keeping Class tonight.  Otherwise, murder, rape and torture would be my evening's entertainment.

Change

Yes, change. We were hearing that word every few seconds back in '08 when Obummer, (and the MSM) was working hard to (and did) con an entire nation. Is change always good, as the Marxist-in-Chief promised? Well, i've been around quite a while, and IMO, most of the social changes i've seen have not been good, nor have they been for the better. They have not made our country a better place, and IMO, have in most cases done just the opposite.

Speaking of change, suppose your kids came home from school speaking Arabic? And even worse, suppose their public school "forced " them to learn it? That's right. Forced them! If my grandkids in NJ came home speaking Arabic, i think Sam, their 90 lb. Yellow Lab would probably bite them! ( i taught him to dislike foreigners ;) 

So far, this is happening in Manhattan, a place that is arguably "the most " liberal spot in the country, if not the planet. But, since starry-eyed, bleeding-heart Obamunists can be found in most places within our education systems, things like this can easily spread if they're not stopped dead in their tracks...

Fecal Matter to Strike Rotating Air Movement Device.

Bloomberg News says Greece will have 46 hours to jump start their currency this coming weekend.  
.

Greece may have only a 46-hour window of opportunity should it need to plot a route out of the euro.

That’s how much time the country’s leaders would probably have to enact any departure from the single currency while global markets are largely closed, from the end of trading in New York on a Friday to Monday’s market opening in Wellington, New Zealand, based on a synthesis of euro-exit scenarios from 21 economists, analysts and academics.
.

 Over the two days, leaders would have to calm civil unrest while managing a potential sovereign default, planning a new currency, recapitalizing the banks, stemming the outflow of capital and seeking a way to pay bills once the bailout lifeline is cut. The risk is that the task would overwhelm any new government in a country that has had to be rescued twice since 2010 because it couldn’t manage its public finances.
.
The Schteveo News Service is going to cash out it's Savings Account Friday afternoon.  And if we don't have a SHTF scenario before Monday morning, I'll see what the World Economy looks like, then I might even get it back in there, later next week.
.
As previously proven in here, I'm a notoriously hyper vigilant PITA, but I suggest you NOT leave home without cash, starting Friday Morning.  That Debit Card / ATM Card you use daily for coffee, bagels, bread, milk and toilet paper might be a piece of BS plastic by Saturday Morning.  Saturday morning hell! 

If the Greeks are going to jump out of the EU, they'll start 5 minutes after Wall Street closes for the weekend.  Meaning our finances could get 'hinky' also along with theirs.
.
I just wish I had money to buy gold and silver right now.  If the EU falls apart, those metals could sky rocket.

Indoctrination 101 Kid passes, Teacher FAILS

We've all heard about the Leftist crap, and Obama Worship being dealt out in our tax payer supported classrooms.  Here in NC, in the Rowan / Salisbury School System, a HS student caught his teacher preaching, teaching incorrect history and lying outright to support HER beliefs.

I heard the kid and his father, then just his mother, on our Local Rush Radio drive time show this morning.  The parents, and many people who don't even know them, are supporting this young man in his fight with the schools.  The student in question, "Hunter", said in the radio this morning he shot the video, to show his parents that he was arguing his points, but that he was being respectful to his teacher.
.

The teacher at the center of a controversy over a classroom video has now been suspended with pay, according to the Rowan Salisbury School System.

Tonya Dixon-Neely teaches Social Studies at North Rowan High.  She is heard on the video telling a student that he could get arrested for being critical of President Obama, and that people were arrested for being critical of President Bush.

"Effective today, Tanya Dixon-Neely has been suspended with pay while a thorough investigation is being conducted," school officials told WBTV when asked about Dixon-Neely's status.

When one student begins criticizing President Obama, the teacher seems to go on the defensive, telling the student at one point that he can be arrested for being critical of the President.

“That’s disrespect.  This man (Mitt Romney) is a presidential candidate.  He’s not the president,” the teacher shouts.  “Let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.”

“I’ll say what I want,” the student replied.

“Not about him you won’t,” yelled the teacher. “Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush?” she's heard saying in the video. “Do you realize you are not supposed to slander the president?”

.
Not about 'this' President?  Why NOT?  
.
When "Hunter" says plenty of people talked 'sh1t' about GWB, this brain dead, hyphenated, leftist  teacher, in a ROOM full of teenagers tells him, "...that's because he was a sh1tty President!".
.
She also tells the kids that people were arrested while GWB was POTUS because they talked about Bush.  Clearly she's a LOON!  But go listen to the whole recording to see just how nutso she is.  And I'm betting she's not the top of the net pile nutty.  The truly nutty ones are in Administration in the Schools. 
 .
Anyway, HERE IS a link to the video.

The Land Of "Opportunity"

It doesn't take a financial wizard to figure out that we, as a nation, are in some very serious trouble. The elected lying crooks who rule us can't seem to understand that if you take in $10., you can't spend $20. Well, not for long anyway. But, since our govt., is controlled mostly by starry-eyed, bleeding-heart liberal Demoncrats, who believe "the govt." should provide everything to everyone, we find ourselves looking more like the EU everyday. Apparently, those bleeding-heart liberals have the "give everything to everyone" part down pretty well. But, as typical socialists, what they can't seem to figure out, and really don't care about, is, who's going to pay for it !

Well, there are certain groups in our society who couldn't care less about the financial quicksand we're in. The mega-wealthy is one group. The other group is, generally speaking, made up of people who have been taught to live off the hard work of others. Thanks to those same bleeding-heart Demoncrats, this group has been taught that they need not be responsible for anything, they need not work and earn anything. All they need do is complain, and of course, give their political support to those bleeding-heart Demoncrats. The louder those complaints, the more free stuff they'll get from the govt. (govt, that means you and me) Remember, before the govt. gives someone something, they first have to take it from someone else. This has been going on for generations, so that now, those complaints have become demands.

The enclosed story is about one of those people, and he and his situation are certainly not unique. He's obviously someone who's been taught that he's simply a "victim" and doesn't need to bother with things like, responsibility, self respect, respect for others, etc. He's been taught that the "worker ants" of America, (a.k.a. the tax paying fools) will clean-up his mess and he can simply go on enjoying himself...... What a great country...

Pricey Melons!

In Japan, Crap Times Means $12,000 Melons

Dark times, I tell you! Just look at what the best Japanese melons in Japan are going for. Dark times.
See, every year, top grade Yubari melons fetch astounding prices. The melons are lovingly grown in Hokkaido greenhouses. This year, the prices were somewhat less astounding (but still bonkers).

In 2008, two Yubari melons commanded ¥2.5 million (over US$30,000) and in 2007, two top grade melons fetched ¥2 million (around $25,000). But after the economy went south, so did the melon prices, hitting ¥500,000 ($6,000) for two top grade melons.
.
 The writer goes on to say that $12K is cheap.  Prices are down because of the economy!  And Americans have been accused of being money and possession crazy!!

She thanked him and he answered,  "It was a pleasure to help you.  Don't you recognize me?  I am your president.  Are you going to vote for me in the next election?"

Is Our America Dying?

When the Marxist-in-Chief said he was going to, "transform America ", could this be one of the things he really meant, aside from turning us into Venezuela North? When America becomes a nation of "minorities", and we're well on our way, which political party benefits? It's not the Republicans.

La Raza, the radical Marxist organization that claims to represent illegal aliens in our country has said that most of the southern part of the US, and all of Mexifornia, (if only they would take it ) actually belongs to Mexico, and that if it's not returned, they mean to "take it back "! Has it actually started? There are now major cities in Mexifornia that have large areas fully controlled by vicious street gangs of illegals! If you travel through many cities in the southern US, you'll find that most of the public officials are in fact, Mexican. Many can barely speak English, but that's not stopping them from accumulating political power. That power can, and will, change the political makeup of America. That means, people born here, especially White people, will have less and less to say. You will become a foreigner in your own country, or, what used to be your own country.

To the Demoncrats and the Left, minorities mean votes, which means political power to the party that caters to those minorities, ie. Demoncrats. And, as we all know, that political power means the ability to control the lives of everyone. This story should be a wake-up call to White Americans who, it seems, prefer to sit back and watch "reality" TV, rather than take and active and aggressive role in what's happening to their country. Then again, it just may be too late...

What we need is MORE Federal Oversight!

When the story about the JP Morgan loss hit late last week, our elected worms from the anti-profit, anti-risk side of the aisle, started screaming about more control of the financial markets.  Every sound bite I saw, was combined with a montage of that big ass Merril-Lynch Bull and JPM's office in NYC. Silly me, I thought the "loss" (excuse my quotes, more on that below!) was in stocks, bonds, commodities traded in NYC.  Some pundits have likened it to the 'great collapse of 2008', under George W. 'screw the TxANG' Bush!  That's a bold statement IM-not-so-humbleO
.
Today I just read, the trader in question works in the JPM office in  LONDON ENGLAND.  Seriously?
.
That being the case, just WTH kind of rules are they planning on implementing HERE that would have stopped this, or if it was illegal NOW already, what law out of a UNITED STATES big-book-of-laws would he fall under while living, selling, trading and screwing British pooches in London?  That leaves out the fact that every prospectus I ever looked at, or heard on TV or radio, STARTED out with a disclaimer telling you that you invest at YOUR own risk.

So it's a risk based financial gamble, based out of London, how should, or better still WHY should Congress care?  Where's their power in this?  Not to mention, I find it odd that an American Congress who helped frivolously spend $5T in the last 3 years, had the stones TO point at anyone else who squandered money!  A firm that squandered around 5% of what Congress did, BTW.
.
But back to my parenthetical above. 

Did JPM in fact LOSE $2B?  I'm not so sure they did kids.  In the same Fiscal Quarter where Congress said JPM lost $2B, they paid dividends on $4B in earnings.  Huh?  How do you LOSE but still GAIN?  Well the simplest answer is, that you don't.  The real story here is American Leftist financial gurus (that's the oxymoron of the century I think ) have decided that there's financial hay to be made here by accusing JPM of causing dire financial strain on the world economy.  But here's the truth.

If some people 'lost' $2B investing (betting ) that the world-wide left handed widget market was gonna crash, then the people who invested (bet) that it would go up, 'won' most of that $2B, minus all the JPM fees.  The money is still out there, it's just NOT in the hands Congressional malcontents on the Left think it should be bundled up in at this particular moment.  If the stories are true, this was REAL money, dollars, deutchmarks, euros, yen, yuan, etc, not digital 'gains' like the 2008 'collapse', where the actual dollars was tied up in real estate and 'futures'.

You can't destroy those without pilin' 'em up, and cookin' steaks, bangers, wursts, goats, sheep or fish over 'em!  So they're out there.

I'm not at all certain just what this circus is supposed to be hiding, maybe the damned near imminent collapse of the EU.  But one thing is certain, this is THE unstory of High Finance right now, given the trouble in Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, France and Germany AND here.  All of whom are about go belly up because of overspending or because they backed those who were.
.
And before I sign off, I'd like to say, Zhù Nǐ Hǎo-Yùn, to our future Galactic Financial Overlords, the Communist Chinese!  Isn't it odd that the guys who were dead st AGAINST capitalism, have THE best economy now, because they loosened the rules,, while everyone ese was writing millions of new rules?
.
I'm betting there's a lesson in there.  But Congress is about to make betting and investing illegal, so I'll just move on now.  I can tell you, that when we get paid from now on, starting in June, I will leave ONLY enough of our money in the bank to cover our bill pay stuff.  Then, if there's a 'run' on my banks, I'm golden.  Maybe platinum if dollars in hand becomes THE only way to go!  
.

Schteveo says, Texas looks better EV-RY-DAY baby!

Not "Shovel Ready" necessarily, but "Pile Driver Ready", now THAT they had!

The NBC Investigative Unit has raised questions about two grants totaling nearly $1.5 million dollars distributed to the University of California San Francisco. The money was part of the federal stimulus program and went to studies into the erectile dysfunction of overweight middle aged men and the accurate reporting of someone's sexual history.
.
Now that's stimulus for certain!  The article goes on to say that some of the money wasn't spent for TWO YEARS.  That's a little deflating though.
.
This money was ALWAYS about greasing the palms of the Lefist Intelligentsia plain and simple.  But he shafted so many of them after the fact that I wonder if they'll be fooled again.  Who am I kidding, they get fooled daily, and from right inside their own heads!

A Look At What's Coming

After reading this story, then comparing it to what Romney and the Republicans are doing for the election, one gets the very scary feeling that we may have another four years of the Marxist-in-Chief ahead of us.

The very dangerous and powerful ultra-Leftists in this piece are not people who play nice, and, unlike the Republicans, the only rules they play by are their own. I sure hope our side is ready for what's coming...

Todays Question:

Could you use $4 BILLION dollars a year?
Ok, so it's a trick question. But here's a serious one. Do you think our country could use $4 Billion a year? Maybe that amount could be used to keep some Post Offices open, lower the price of gas, or perhaps, help some of our most worthy citizens, our combat veterans, many of whom are actually living on food stamps.

That four Billion (at least ) is how much of your money the IRS is giving to illegal aliens every year in the form of tax refunds and child tax credits! And, many of the people getting your money are not even in this country, nor have they ever been in this country! I mean, why inconvenience them by having them actually show up to pick-up our money? I'm sure the thousands of lawyers working for the IRS would have an answer to the question, "how can people who don't even pay tax get a refund"? I'm also sure the reason they don't explain all this to the "worker-ants", (ie. legal tax payers) is because it's far too complex and way above our heads. Besides, sheep are not known to ask questions. 

So how is this possible? Well, it's called, FRAUD. And the IRS is a "willing and knowing partner" in this fraud. If the enclosed video were shown to every American tax payer, i would think that every one of them would pick-up a length of strong rope, march on DC., and lynch every member of Congress. That they do not is why the elected, lying crooks treat us the way they do...

Weakness Will Not Win

The other day, some Obamunist reporter with the Washington Post found what he thought could be turned into a "smoking gun" from Romney's childhood. It seems Romney may have engaged in some totally irrelevant high school prank. Of course, the MSM jumped right on it. But the thing that bothered me was, (and i'm not a Romney fan) Romney came right out and apologized for it. This, IMO, is a clear sign of weakness. And, it also shows that the Romney camp, like the rest of the Republican Party and many Conservatives, still don't get it. One of the oldest and most effective tactics used by the Left is to put their opponents on the defensive every chance they get, whether founded or not. And, since Romney does not have the tenacity and sharp claws that Gingrich or Ron Paul has, this kind of attack will not only continue, but greatly increase, since they now see how well it worked. It's like showing an aggressive dog that you are afraid of him. He's gonna bite you!

In the court of public opinion, (a favorite playground of the Left ) defending yourself, even from bizarre and totally unfounded allegations, always makes you look guilty of something, else why would you be defending your self. That's how average people think, and the Leftists have become masters at using this ploy. If it works, again, we can look "forward" to four more years of radical Obamunism. Times ten!

Sharpton Calls For Race War

"It's a war on black people and we've got to fire back..."

As i've always said, when the Left attacks, it attacks from many different directions at the same time. That's why we're now seeing radical gay activists, professional race mongers, left-wing atheists, OWS anarchists, pro-communist unions, and others, all launching attacks against our country, our traditions, our beliefs, and our Constitution itself. Why now? Because, if the Marxist-in-Chief should lose in Nov., they fear their political power and voice will be greatly diminished. If he wins, he's already promised them they'll get everything they want, and more.

In this video clip, we see Al $harptongue, the professional race-pimp, radical racist, former street-thug from Brooklyn, extortionist, liar, and, oh, i almost forgot, MSNBC "commentator". What Al, in his fancy White man's clothes and hairdo, is doing is what his pal Obummer has been doing for a long time, calling for a race war, although Al is a bit more obvious. I guess now that Al is a member of the Leftist media, he can afford to be obvious, and be an even bigger liar than he's always been. But, IMO, there's another message in what fat Al's saying, a message to White America, albeit totally unintended. "Exercise your 2nd Amendment right now while you still have it..."

I've read that in about 50 years, thanks mostly to the 30-40 million illegals who have crossed our southern border, America will no longer be a basically White country. Personally, i think it'll be a lot sooner than that. When that happens, America will cease being America. It will (IMO) become just another South American, Marxist, 3rd-world country. Many say we're already well on our way. The problem for real Americans is, where do we run to?

"Beware of those who cry racism, for they are the true racists..."


Long Live the Viking Lifestyle!

According to the Democrat Caucus, we should NOT be allowed to defend ourselves, because TOO many people are being shot.
.
 The Congressional Progressive Caucus has announced it will introduce legislation designed to strip Americans of the right to defend themselves. Called “Stop Shoot First Laws,” the amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations bill under consideration in the House would deny states federal funding allocated under section 505 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 if they continue to allow citizens to defend themselves.

“Shoot first laws have already cost too many lives,” said Progressive Caucus co-chairs Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva upon introducing their amendment. “In Florida alone, deaths due to self-defense have tripled since the law was enacted. Federal money shouldn’t be spent supporting states with laws that endanger their own people. This is no different than withholding transportation funds from states that don’t enforce seatbelt laws.”

“The message here is if you have this kind of law that your federal funding is going to take a hit because they make states less safe,” Adam Sarvana, communications director for Grijalva, told Politico.

In other words, the Democrats will force states to choose between putting their citizens at the mercy of violent criminals or taking federal largess.

Because the House does not have an open amendment process, the amendment will likely not see a vote on the floor. Ellison and Grijalva introduced the amendment in and effort to further politicize the Trayvon Martin case and increase pressure on the Second Amendment.
.
But...wait...aren't the people being shot under Stand Your Ground, being shot BECAUSE they are ATTACKING someone, committing a crime, raping, robbing and pillaging?!  This move would make it tantamount to creating a country where openly attacking, robbing, or murdering is legal, but defending yourself against the same, would be all but illegal.  These bastards are NUTS!!

If they believe this, then let's DISBAND the Secret Service and take away all their hardened vehicles.  If defending ourselves is wrong, then the SS defending them is wrong!

BREAKING NEWS!

If only there were an app for that.

Sex toys may soon become as popular as smartphones — vibrator sales alone are set to become a $52 billion annual business by 2020, matching that of iPhones and Androids, according to London’s Daily Mail. Fueling the surge: actresses such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Jane Fonda, (eeeewwww) who have given candid interviews about their favorite bedtime accessories. Looking at the projected sales numbers, can an app be far off?

The Ultimate Insult

Finally, the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. are coming to trial at Guantanamo Bay.  It's only taken eleven years, a clear indication of why America is the living definition of FUBAR. In their world, the terrorists need only eleven seconds to dispense justice. That's enough time to behead you, hang your corpse up on a bridge, and set it on fire. But this is America. We are a "Nation of Laws". In fact, we have more laws than people. Of course, to the rest of the world, especially to our Mooselamb enemies, that means we're a Nation of Weaklings.

Yesterday, the trial started as most rational people assumed it would start, with the terrorists and their lawyer insulting America, the military court, the prosecution, and above all, the family members of those murdered who were viewing this farce. The female defense attorney started out by "demanding" that female members of the prosecution team be "ordered" to dress in a manor that would "show respect to her clients religious beliefs". That was right after one of the terrorists, KLM, refering to the 3000+ people he murdered said, " i spit on their graves ". That comment alone should have gotten them, and their lawyer, summarily executed on the spot.

But, this is America. We are a Nation of Laws. Unfortunately, we're also a Nation of Sheep. Stay tuned, because this circus will out-do anything Barnum and Bailey and the Ringling Brothers ever dreamed of...

More Friday Funnies

A retired lawyer and his wife of 30 years are playing golf after a Marriage Counseling Session.
.
On the third hole, he tees off down the right side, she goes down the left and they meet on the green.  He walks over and tells her, "...I've got something to confess.  Once, just once shortly after we got married, I had a one night stand when I was on a business trip, it was one of the female lawyers from the other office and I swear to you it had more to do with drinking than wanting that woman, PLEASE forgive me...".

His wife listens to him, her hands strangling her putter, then she relaxes, walks over and hugs him and tells him, "...I knew that happened then...I could smell perfume on your clothes when I emptied your suit case, but I loved you and so I didn't say anything...I hadn't thought about that in years because I never suspected that it happened again."

They hug each other and walk to the next tee.  This time he shanks one way off in the weeds and she goes down the center of the fairway.  They play on to the tee, he gets a bogie, she's in at par.  She walks over, takes his hand and says, "...I have a secret too.  I was married before I met you.."

"WHAT!!!  You were married, but I thought you were a virgin, you wouldn't let me touch you until our wedding night!!!".

"Well", she says, "..it's easy to explain, I was a Man when I was married and when we first met, I had just gone through surgery to become a woman,  but I do love you!!  Please understand, THIS is who I was, always...".

He breaks the club in his hands, stalks off the course, walks straight to the car and leaves her standing in the parking lot in tears.  By the time she gets a ride home, his clothes and car are gone.  Several days later she's served with separation papers and she can't find him until the day of their Divorce Hearing.

He sits there, won't look a her and his lawyer does all the talking.  Just before the judge renders his decision, the wife jumps up and says, "..are you just going to SIT there?  Are you going to walk away from me, our 3 adopted children and our grandchildren, all over one stupid lie!?"

Having ha enough, he jumps to his feet and yells, "...ONE LIE?  Just one LIE!!!  Your honor, this isn't A lie, it's years of lies!!  HAAA!!!!".

"SIR, you've git to calm down," the judge says.

"..calm DOWN, WHY?  I guess I'm supposed to just look the other way at this?"

"No Sir, but I am expecting you to be civil in my court.  And, I'm not expecting you to over look it, but in our day and age, it was bound to happen that someone would fall in love like this after sex reassignment surgery, I can understand that you feel like she's made you look like a fool, right?"

"Sex reassignment surgery?  Who said I was mad about that?  I don't give a crap about THAT.  I'm pissed off that for over 30 years, we played golf, twice a week, for dinner and drinks and that cheating witch...no that cheating WARLOCK hit from the lady's tee box!!"

From way back when, when comedy was actually funny. Here are some of the greatest classics...

Those fabulous Jewish Comedians – You may remember the old Jewish Catskill comics of Vaudeville days: Shecky Greene, Red Buttons, Totie Fields, Joey Bishop, Milton Berle, Jan Murray, Danny Kaye, Henny Youngman, Buddy Hackett, Sid Caesar, Groucho Marx, Jackie Mason, Victor Borge, Woody Allen, George Burns, Allan Sherman, Jerry Lewis, Peter Sellers, Carl Reiner, Gene Wilder, George Jessel, Alan King, Mel Brooks, Phil Silvers, Jack Carter, Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, Jack Benny, Mansel Rubenstein and so many others. And there was not one single swear word in their comedy. Here are a few examples:

* I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.
* I've been in love with the same woman for 49 years! If my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me!
* Someone stole all my credit cards but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.
* We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
* She was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the estimate. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
* The Doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill so the doctor gave him another six months.
* The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back. " Mrs. Cohen answered, "So did my arthritis!"
* Doctor: "You'll live to be 60!" Patient: "I am 60!" Doctor: "See! What did I tell you?"
* Patient: "I have a ringing in my ears." Doctor: "Don't answer!"
* A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says "Okay, let's get started."
* Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth it.

Q: Why don't Jewish mothers drink?
A: Alcohol interferes with their suffering.

Q: Why do Jewish mothers make great parole officers?
A: They never let anyone finish a sentence!

A man called his mother in Florida, "Mom, how are you?" "Not too good," said the mother. "I've been very weak." The son said, "Why are you so weak?" She said, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days." The son said, "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days?" The mother answered, "Because I didn't want my mouth to be filled with food if you should call."

A Jewish boy comes home from school and tells his mother he has a part in the play. She asks, "What part is it?" The boy says, "I play the part of the Jewish husband." "The mother scowls and says, "Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part."

Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: (Sigh) "Don't bother. I'll sit in the dark. I don't want to be a nuisance to anybody."

Short summary of every Jewish holiday:
They tried to kill us.
We won.
Let's eat.

Did you hear about the bum who walked up to a Jewish mother on the street and said, "Lady, I haven't eaten in three days." "Force yourself," she replied.

Q: What's the difference between a Rottweiler and a Jewish mother?
A: Eventually, the Rottweiler lets go.

Q: Why are Jewish men circumcised?
A: Because Jewish women don't like anything that isn't 20% off.

The Harvard School of Medicine did a study of why Jewish women like Chinese food so much. The study revealed that this is due to the fact that Won Ton spelled backward is Not Now.

There is a big controversy on the Jewish view of when life begins. In Jewish tradition, the fetus is not considered viable until it graduates from medical school.

Compression is Good for the Soul [Brother]

Dan Rather has a new book out.  From what I've heard, he goes on a LOOOOONNNGGG rant about being fired from CBS over standing behind the allegations that George W. Bush didn't finish his Air National Guard Service during the Viet Nam War.
.
In a rare instance the truth won out, and a Liberal and Mainstay of Journalism wound up on the wrong end of the stick.  But there are many out there, like Rather, who still think the Texas ANG story is true.  But is that different than most other stories where liberals get caught with there paw in the cookie jar?
.
A liberal pol or journalist tells a lie, gets caught, stands by their story and little changes for them, or their followers.  The country just goes right on and people look around the 700 pound gorilla in the room.
.
Now, over the last 4 or 5 years, some of Mr. Obumble's back story has changed or has been found to be false, faked, lied about, hidden...whatever terms YOU want to use.  He hardly knew the guy who put him in politics in Chicago, their kids just attended the same school.  His administration would be transparent and above board.  He'd uphold and protect the Constitution...  
 .
Well, here's the latest one.
.
One of the more mysterious characters from President Obama's 1995 autobiography Dreams From My Father is the so-called 'New York girlfriend.' Obama never referred to her by name, or even by psuedonym, but he describes her appearance, her voice, and her mannerisms in specific detail.
But Obama has now told biographer David Maraniss that the 'New York girlfriend' was actually a composite character, based off of multiple girlfriends he had both in New York City and in Chicago.
"During an interview in the Oval Office, Obama acknowledged that, while Genevieve was his New York girlfriend, the description in his memoir was a “compression” of girlfriends, including one who followed Genevieve [Cook] when he lived in Chicago," Maraniss writes in his new biography an excerpt of which was published online today by Vanity Fair.

"In Dreams from My Father, Obama chose to emphasize a racial chasm that unavoidably separated him from the woman he described as his New York girlfriend," Maraniss writes, offering a passage from the book in which they go to see a play by a black playwright:
One night I took her to see a new play by a black playwright. It was a very angry play, but very funny. Typical black American humor. The audience was mostly black, and everybody was laughing and clapping and hollering like they were in church. After the play was over, my friend started talking about why black people were so angry all the time. I said it was a matter of remembering—nobody asks why Jews remember the Holocaust, I think I said—and she said that’s different, and I said it wasn’t, and she said that anger was just a dead end. We had a big fight, right in front of the theater. When we got back to the car she started crying. She couldn’t be black, she said. She would if she could, but she couldn’t. She could only be herself, and wasn’t that enough.
"None of this happened with Genevieve," Maraniss writes. "  She remembered going to the theater only once with Barack, and it was not to see a work by a black playwright. When asked about this decades later, during a White House interview, Obama acknowledged that the scene did not happen with Genevieve. “It is an incident that happened,” he said. But not with her. He would not be more specific, but the likelihood is that it happened later, when he lived in Chicago. “That was not her,” he said. “That was an example of compression I was very sensitive in my book not to write about my girlfriends, partly out of respect for them.
.
A 'compression'?
.
The girl in the book was a compression.  And that would be less of a 'lie' than when Al Gore said he invented the internet?  Or when Al Gore said "Love Story" was about him and Tipper?  Or when he said  Global Warming by man was real?  But it's OK, right, because he's NOT a Republican.
.
I have an interesting question that goes with this situation.
.
Let's suppose a President was accused of some nefarious plot to cover up a break in at a hotel, and that ALL the real breakers said POTUS knew nothing.  That's too hard to believe, right?  So he must be guilty, because HE was a Republican.
.
Or let's suppose another POTUS was accused of buying guns, selling guns, and having a slush fund for his own personal intel network, but when Congress got their hands on it, a Marine Lt Colonel said POTUS didn't know everything?  That's too hard to believe, right?  So he must be guilty, because HE was a Republican too.

Both stories are strictly hypothetical, of course.
.
We are yet again in the midst of a situation where the current POTUS has spun a lie, or changed facts to fit the needs or 'compressed' several people to create a 'person' who is expedient to his narrative.  But it's OK, because he's NOT a Republican.

Right?

The "Vietnamization" of the War on Terror.

Some of us Old Farts remember the War in Southeast Asia. 

We also remember that after wasting almost $200B, wasting almost 60K American lives, and maybe as many as 3 million Vietnamese deaths, and NOT counting those wounded, maimed or permanently disabled, we walked away.
.
But before we left there as a warrior force, President Nixon signed an agreement with President Thieu of South Viet Nam, saying that the United States would withdraw troops, but continue to support the South's efforts to continue as a country.  But we didn't, because Congress voted not to fund the agreement, which basically killed that country.
.
About 15 minutes after the last helicopter flew off of the American Embassy in Saigon n April 30, 1975, the political cleaning killings began.  Anyone who had worked for or supported any non-Communist Government in the South was a suspect.  Many were imprisoned, tortured and killed in the name of Communist Unity.
.
Yesterday, 37 years and one day after we left Saigon with our tails between our POLITICAL hind legs, President Barack Hussien Obama sailed the people of Afghanistan down the Mekong River Delta of The Ignorance of Consequences. 
.
So, we are now about to make the same mistakes in Afghanistan and Iraq that we made in Southeast Asia.  We'll see the same outcomes too IMO, murder, mayhem, and torture.  I refuse to be humble on this because I'm sickened by the waste in lives and dollars, before and after. And all this leaves me with the SAME, exact, GDed questions about our country that I've had since GHWB stopped our troops from walking right the hell into Baghdad, Iraq, killing Saddam's Imperial Dumb Troopers ALL the Ff&*ING way to the Imperial Homeplace!
.
Why is it, that the most powerful country in the world, can no longer bring itself to WIN a war? 
.
Why is it, that the most powerful country in the world, will waste billions, that's B-I-L-L-I-O-N-S of dollars and thousands of lives, ruining tens of thousands of America Family's futures by eliminating fathers, brothers, sons, daughters, mothers, sisters and all the other family connections, blood or otherwise...then just walk the F*&K away?
.
Why is it, that the most powerful country in the world continues to elect, elect, elect spineless, worthless Democrat and Republican humps of human flesh who would rather, yet again, kill 6K or 7K of our bravest and finest and spend billions of your dollars and mine...and THEN, just walk away.

Why is it, that the most powerful country in the world WON'T spend another $BILLION more sooner, possibly saving some of everybody's money, absolutely save many lives on BOTH sides and just WIN the F#*^ing war?
.
If anyone has a cogent answer, I'd love to hear it.  And, good luck with trying it.

Forward!

Yes, forward. That's the new slogan the Marxist-in-Chief is using for his re-election campaign. Apparently, they're ashamed to use "hope and change" again, since it's quite clear to everyone, even many liberals, that there isn't much hope for the country under Obummer's tyranny. As for change, well, the only change most of us have seen is a change from a free country, to some Venezuela-style Marxist state.

It seems the word forward has become a symbol of political correctness and of the Left. You may have noticed that most progressives, especially the talking-heads of the MSM, can't seem to get through a sentence without somehow inserting that word somewhere, often for no other reason that wanting to identify themselves as progressives. In fact, the notoriously Left-wing MSNBC has recently changed it's slogan to, "Leaning Forward".  And yes, this includes the totally PC'ized clowns at Fox. I'm not sure who's idea it was to use the word forward. Whomever it was apparently didn't do their homework, (or maybe they did? ) else they would have noticed the historical connections this word has.

Or, could it be that with nothing to lose, comrade Obummer and his Obamunist followers are "coming out", as it were? Do they perhaps feel that our country has been pushed so far to the left that their outright Marxism would be ignored, if not welcomed, by the nation? Hmmm...
