<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">Iran</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d;"> wanted "many billions of dollars" from the United States
for the release of multiple American hostage, The Washington Free Beacon
reported recently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to the
Beacon, senior officials in the Iranian government have been considering
requesting payment for months. Earlier this year, the White House paid $1.7
billion to Iran, $400
million of which was given over on the same day that Iran released four American
prisoners, according to the Los Angeles Times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>President Barack Obama's administration denied that the money was a
ransom, claiming that it was the settlement of a decades-old legal claim
between the U.S. and Iran, but admitted that the transaction was
delayed to pressure Iran
into releasing the captives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest
of the $1.3 million is said to be interest on Iranian money held in America since
the 70's.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"We're
currently conducting conversations and various dialogues in order to return
this money to Iran,"
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on NBC News in September.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Perhaps these dialogues can be still
conducted simultaneously on parallel tracks while we're conducting those same
conversations in order to free the sums of money that are still owed to
us."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Iranian news sources,
including Mashregh News, which is closely tied to the Army of the Guardians of
the Islamic Revolution (IRGC), also known as the Revolutionary Guard, report
that Iran "should wait and see, the U.S. will offer … many billions of
dollars to release" Siamak Namazi, an American businessman, and his father
Baquer, according to the Beacon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">"I am saddened to
learn of the sentencing of Baquer Namazi and his son Siamak by Iran this
week," Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill.,
told the Beacon. Kirk chairs the Senate Banking Subcommittee on National
Security and International Trade and Finance, and supervises the government's
sanctions policy on Iran.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">"After airlifting $1.7 billion in cash
ransom payments to Iran,"
Kirk continued. "Even the U.S. State Department now warns of increased
dangers that the world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism will continue to
illegally seize Americans and Westerners who travel or do business with Iran.
Companies, banks, and American citizens would be wise to stay away from Iran."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Back
in May of this year, Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister
Javad Zarif led their respective delegations in the nuclear negotiations in Austria and Switzerland.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday
rejected the notion that it’s America’s
job to promote business with Iran
following the nuclear deal, but again underscored that the U.S. government is not standing in the way of
European companies doing business with Tehran.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Except in the case of those companies and
individuals that remain designated by the U.S.
government for non nuclear-related sanctions, Iran
is “open for business,” he said in London.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Banks in Europe are allowed to open
accounts for Iran, banks in
Europe are allowed to do business, banks in Europe can fund programs, lend
money,” Kerry told reporters ahead of a meeting with European bankers focused
on Iran.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“That’s absolutely open for business, as
long as it’s not a designated entity, period. Very simple.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">Iranian officials, led by
Kerry’s counterpart and nuclear negotiating partner Javad Zarif, have been
complaining bitterly about European companies’ reluctance to do business with Iran now that
many sanctions have been lifted under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPOA) nuclear deal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">But Kerry said European firms in some cases
were using U.S. sanctions as
an “excuse” for not seeking opportunities in Iran.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Businesses should not use the United States
as an excuse if they don’t want to do business or if they don’t see a good
business deal,” he said. “They shouldn’t say, ‘Oh, we can’t do it because [of]
the United States.’
That’s just not fair. That’s not accurate. And we sometimes get used as an
excuse in this process.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>European
banks, he repeated, “are absolutely free to open accounts for Iran, trade,
exchange money, facilitate a legitimate business agreement, bankroll it, lend
money. All of those things are absolutely open, permissible.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A reporter asked Kerry why it was the job of
the U.S. to advocate for
companies to do business in Iran.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">“It’s not our job to sell
them on doing business,” he replied. “It’s our job to make clear to them what
the rules are, that’s all. I mean, we’re not telling people what to go do, but
we are telling people what they’re allowed to do, and there seems to be some
confusion about that.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Iran has a
right to the benefits of the agreement they signed up to,” Kerry said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Addressing lawmakers in Tehran
at the weekend, Zarif complained that Iran’s
“enemies, especially that Zionists,” were trying hard “to deter foreign
investors from participating in Iran.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Consequently, we must promote the fact that
Iran
is the safest and most profitable country for investment,” he said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>U.S., U.N., and multilateral nuclear-related
sanctions were lifted with effect from the JCPOA’s “implementation day” last
January 16, but numerous other U.S. sanctions remain in place, including
measures imposed in response to human rights violations, the regime’s
sponsorship of terrorism, and ballistic missile activities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">They include direct sanctions against more
than 200 designated Iranian companies and individuals – according to a top
Treasury official – and “secondary” sanctions, or those targeting firms in
third countries that do business with designated Iranian entities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Complicating the situation is the fact that
some of the U.S.
sanctions overlap, targeting both nuclear and non-nuclear issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">The 2010 Comprehensive
Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act, for example, takes aim at
the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and those that do business with the IRGC,
for its involvement in the nuclear program as well as international terrorism
and rights abuses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 2012 Iran Threat
Reduction Act imposes sanctions in response to support for the nuclear program,
rights abuses and/or international terrorism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Further, none of the U.S.
measures targeting the IRGC and its affiliates have been waived or suspended as
a result of JCPOA implementation. But the IRGC is suspected of having interests
in many sectors of the Iranian economy, and not all the links are publicly
known.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A bipartisan lobby group opposed
to the JCPOA has launched a campaign warning foreign companies about the risks
– financial, legal and reputational – in doing business with Tehran.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI) said Tuesday it has sent dozens of
letters to leading corporations, “warning of the myriad endemic risks involving
Iran,”
and that it plans to contact hundreds more in the coming months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those contacted already include corporations
actively considering opportunities in Iran, including General Electric,
Fiat Chrysler, Siemens, Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier and the Danish
container operator Maersk.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">UANI said it has also been
in touch with major South Korean companies. South Korean President Park
Geun-hye visited Iran
early this month, accompanied by more than 200 business executives. Agreements
for construction and energy projects worth $45.6 billion were signed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In an earlier open letter to businesses,
UANI warned it was risky doing business in Iran post-JCPOA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Noting the IRGC’s penetration of many
sectors of Iran’s economy, the
letter said doing business in Iran
without also doing business with the IRGC would be virtually impossible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">“This risk is only further amplified
because the IRGC routinely operates through an extensive network of front
companies that mask the IRGC’s involvement,” it said. “An international firm
active in Iran could
therefore easily conduct or facilitate transactions with the IRGC or one of its
affiliates or front companies, potentially triggering costly penalties under U.S.
sanctions.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>UANI also cautioned firms
about the risk to their reputation of doing business with a regime that
sponsors terrorism, violates its citizens’ rights, and “remains an
international outlaw and force for instability.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>UANI was founded in 2008 by Mark Wallace, a former U.S. ambassador to the U.N., former
CIA Director James Woolsey, former U.S. Mideast negotiator Dennis Ross and the
late assistant secretary of state Richard Holbrooke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">Others associated with it include former
CIA acting director Michael Morell and former Attorney-General Michael Mukasey.
Its chairman is former Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speaking to CNBC last Thursday, Lieberman
said UANI was asking companies mulling business with Iran to “wait a second. Do you
really want to do business in this country?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d;">Asked about the argument
that doing business with Iran
is precisely what is needed to help effect change, Lieberman said one had but
to look at the conduct of Iranian officials, from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei down, since the JCPOA was concluded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“There’s no indication that post the Iran
nuclear agreement, this radical, expansionist, terroristic administration in Tehran has changed,” he
said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still, our government continues
blithely down the road, ignoring all the signposts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are we, collectively, the scarecrow looking
to the wizard for some brains?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
certainly are acting as if we don’t have any now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #c00000;">Parting shot.</span></i></b><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: #0d0d0d;">Anybody want to take a guess what that 400 million
dollars, in cash, is going to buy for Iran?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They say it was ransom for the four
prisoners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our government says it was
money we owed them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Really?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s funny that they demanded, and got it,
all in cash, and that no prisoners were released until the cash was in their
hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wake up America, your
country needs you…desperately.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt;">DO YOU NEED MORE PROOF? </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">I saw this the other
day and almost threw my coffee mug at the monitor…you may have a different
reaction. Young men are more into makeup now, so naturally the beauty
brands are there to market to the growing gender-neutral trends of Generation
Z, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday, October 19<sup>th</sup>.
The article went on to say…"Gender matters less than it used to,"
Lucie Greene, worldwide director of the J. Walter Thompson Innovation Group,
told the Times. "If you're a youth brand, it's something you need to
embrace and understand. It's this very self-confident, hyper-individual
generation who are constructing their identity in fashion and makeup outside of
their traditional gender buckets." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">CoverGirl recently
signed teen makeup artist James Charles as its first male face, marking a
movement to appeal to Generation Z's trends. J. Walter Thompson
Innovation Group's report earlier this year revealed, per the Times: 56 percent
of Generation Z know someone relating to gender-neutral pronouns of
"they," "them," or "ze;". Only 44
percent bought clothes restricted for their gender; 70 percent support
gender-neutral bathrooms. It is far more trendy than ever to be in
the gender-neutral crowd. "This idea of choice, being
whoever you want to be — it's something that is acceptable more and more,"
art director Fabien Baron told the Times. "It's like the gay evolution in
the 60's and the 80's. It's the normal continuation of what should have been
happening decades ago."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
It’s not just the physical condition in which the United States is being
wussified…it’s everything!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">The Federal Bureau of Investigation used
to be held in the highest esteem…not so much anymore. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">According to the Wall Street Journal, the
FBI usually only “proffers” immunity deals in return for genuine information
and requirements that the recipients cooperate with other investigating bodies,
such as Congress. That said, in this specific case its unclear what the
FBI received in return for their immunity deals other than what they could have
otherwise taken with a subpoena. As Jim Jordan said, “if the FBI wanted
any other Americans’ laptops, they would just go get them—they wouldn’t get an
immunity deal.” But, of course, by offering immunity, the FBI exempted
the laptops and their emails as potential evidence in a criminal case.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Here’s what Rep.
Jordan, Republican from Ohio said about the
FBI’s decision to grant immunity to Clinton’s
IT crew: “Here’s the takeaway in my mind: Cheryl Mills gets a heads up in
mid-summer of 2014. July 23, the day before Mr. Combetta’s Reddit post, the
House Benghazi Committee and the State Dept. reached an agreement on production
of documents. Mills has a conversation with Paul Combetta. He goes on Reddit
then, and tries to figure out how he can get rid of all this email. Even though
he is not successful then, he has to do it later on with BleachBit. And then
the clincher: Just last week, he’s going online and trying to delete these
Reddit posts. He’s trying to delete his tracks. He’s trying to cover up the
cover-up. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">The same guy later
took BleachBit and did delete the emails. The guy you gave immunity to, the guy
who took the Fifth in front of us, is online trying to figure out how to remove
email addresses (change evidence). That guy who later used Bleachbit, who won’t
testify in front of Congress, has correspondence with [Hillary Clinton chief of
staff] Cheryl Mills, a subject of the investigation. Cheryl Mills, who also got
some kind of immunity agreement. Cheryl Mills, who walked out for part of the
questions during her interview with the FBI.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Director Comey, when
he first testified about Hillary Clinton, ran down a laundry list of the things
she did wrong, the things in which she broke the law…and then gave her a
get-out-of-jail-free-card because he said the intent wasn’t clear enough.
For me, the initials FBI now mean Fink’s Battalion of Idiots. From
the Bleachbit site we have this explanation of what it is…When your computer is
getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only
your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free
cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete
logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and
Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox,
Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari,and more.
Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as
shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of
files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster.
Better than free, BleachBit is open source.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy. says Hillary Clinton's team deleted emails
"so even God couldn't read them" using BleachBit. As a
little boy I tried to hide things from my mother by putting them behind my
back. As I got older, I found better hiding places, and technology has
helped millions to hide stuff they don’t want found. The question
to be asked is this…what was so terrible in the emails that they had to be
completely destroyed? We may never know. What we DO
know is that America IS being fundamentally transformed, as Hussein said he’d
do, he just didn’t tell us that we’d be changing from being a great nation into
something rapidly resembling Venezuela!

DON’T LIKE MUSLIMS?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>YOU’RE A RAT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Major Swedish journalist Cecilia Hagen wrote in a recent
column about how much she detests rats. However, there was a political
connotation. Hagen said called anyone that did not support what is, in effect,
an Islamic invasion of Europe, is a “brown rat” and deserves to be
exterminated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Bar Association
Secretary General Anne Ramberg recently wrote in which she called
anti-immigrant politicians “brown rats”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hagen begins her chronicle with
addressing the persistent problem of rats in Stockholm. Then she directed the focus toward
people with immigration critical opinions. “It’s those other councilmen who I
would like to wipe out in a dignified manner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She asks a little later how best to “get rid of human brown rats” and
suggests the use of poison.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Apparently, Ms. Hagen is one of the many voices that will
not expose the corruption of her own government as it has covered up gang rape
that is directly caused by a program that paid children to spend time with
Muslims. Also, no one heard a peep from her when thebiggest child sex
exploitation in the country’s history, involving Muslims, was reported in 2015.
And should we even bring up the rioting that took place in 2013? Yep, Islamists
were at the core of that too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
this woman wants to blame her countrymen for the crimes of the Muslim invaders.
It’s sick!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consider what the outrage
would be had this column referred to Muslims as “brown rats” that need to be
exterminated. I’m not advocating for extermination of any people group, but
rather the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that can even turn the
hearts of those who believe the anti-Christ doctrines of Islam. If that takes
place, we would see no reason to be concerned with Islam anymore because it
would not exist.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The problem in today’s world is that men are quicker to bear
the carnal weapons than they are skilled in the use of spiritual ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ms. Hagen should be ashamed of herself for calling
out her fellow countrymen who oppose those who follow in the footsteps of
Muhammad from entering and destroying their homeland. Give us brave voices not
only in Sweden,
but throughout the world who expose Islam for what it is and provide a meaningful
solution to its destruction.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s talk a bit about that Orlando
shooter…The gunman who killed 49 people at a gay Orlando nightclub early on that Sunday
morning apparently prepared for his own death before the shooting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Omar Mateen, 29, added his wife, 30-year-old
Noor Salman, to his life-insurance policy and gave her access to his bank
accounts, CNN reported on Friday, June 17th, citing unidentified
law-enforcement sources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, Salman
has left the area where the couple lived, according to the Sun Sentinel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She's "no longer here," Omar
Mateen's father, Seddique, told reporters outside of his Fort Pierce, Florida,
home on Wednesday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Salman was reportedly
living with Mateen's father in Fort
Pierce when her husband attacked the nightclub. Public
records list her most recent address — presumably where she lived with Mateen
after they married in 2013 — as a 15-minute drive from his father's home in Fort Pierce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Seddique told reporters that Salman was
no longer in the area, either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m reminded of the little boy in the post office, looking
at the wanted posters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He asks his
father what the posters are about and the father tells him that those are
dangerous people and the police are looking for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The little boy then says to his father, “Dad,
why didn’t they keep them when they took their picture?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good question…why didn’t we detain(at the
very least) anyone that goes to a “hot” country and returns to the US.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The FBI, which has lost all credibility in my
opinion, seems to operate on a catch-and-release system, much like the Border
Patrol.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wake up America, your
country needs you…desperately.</div>

The Veteran’s Administration is not giving the veterans a
fair shake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Veteran’s Administration’s corruption, neglect and abuse is still around and
probably is bigger than ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When a man
or woman joins any of the services, they, in essence, sign a blank check
payable to the United States
of America for an amount of and up to
including their life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was written
anonymously by a veteran, and how true it is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then these brave souls go out and fight to protect and preserve our
freedoms at great cost to them and their families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So when these heroes come home they deserve
the very best medical care that this country can give them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But that hasn’t happened in the past and
it’s certainly not happening now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2014, the
VA got a new director, Robert McDonald, who has done very little to rid this
agency of the corruption, apathy and abuse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Meanwhile, President Barack Obama’s administration appears to be working
very hard to keep all this mess going on at the VA hidden from the public.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Problems and horror stories continue to
emerge from VA hospitals and clinics across the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why should a veteran have to wait thirty
days for a doctor’s appointment and, in many cases, a lot longer?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Secret “wait lists” have been found that
conceal how long it really takes to get the health care that these men and
women deserve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The vets are often
denied or have to wait months for screenings, such as colonoscopies and
endoscopies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consults with specialists
are hard to come by and there seems to be a large amount of neglect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those suffering from PTSD in many cases have
not had adequate treatment and some have committed suicide while waiting to be
cared for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Veterans have complained of
having to wait long hours only to be greeted by an uncaring, arrogant, employee
who shows no respect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the
culture of the VA and nobody is ever held accountable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is truly disgraceful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, what can
be done to change things at the Veterans Administration’s hospitals and
clinics?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they are to continue to
exist there must be some significant changes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here are some suggestions: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>*Get a new
director</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>*Involve
veterans groups</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*Get rid of the deadwood bureaucrats who have collected big
salaries and great perks while doing harm to our vets</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*Give the jobs at the VA to veterans who will show empathy,
respect and understanding to their fellow vets and will work diligently to get
them quality care</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*All systems used by each institution should be reviewed and
revised</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*There is a provision for vets to get care from outside
sources if they are unable to get it from the VA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wonder how many know about this?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many who think that the Veteran’s Administration’s
health care system is beyond repair and should be dismantled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is currently an overgrown bureaucracy
which has lost sight of what their prime focus should be…delivering quality
care on a timely basis to our veterans in an atmosphere of respect, trust and
compassion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recently, Mr. Obama said
everything is fine at the VA, and Hillary agreed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, Donald Trump thinks that there
needs to be significant change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So,
veterans, for whom will you be voting on November 8th?</div>

One in particular, a story of a huge comet striking the earth, impressed me a lot. As I watched the film a thought came to me…what if the end of the world was to come by a comet? How would the population of the earth respond? Would they be as calm as the people in the film or would they riot and revert back to anarchy? <br />Looking around at the riots that have occurred in the last two years, for the deaths of people who may or may not have been guilty, they seem rather petty compared to the end of the world. Now, having said that, and not knowing the full story on most of the killings and subsequent riots, it does appear that one or two people are not tipping the scale over an estimated seven billion that would be lost. Terrorism is quite a different story, I believe. Jihadis are following edicts in their holy book, but that doesn’t make it any the less horrible…nor does it excuse them from complete annihilation when a large object strikes the earth. <br />So…what do you do when you, and the rest of the world, is threatened with extinction? In the films there’s always survivors and they always have a good outlook. Reality is a bit more stark, I think. When the world is destroyed, it won’t really matter where you are, who you are, or what you’ve done. You will go wherever your bits and pieces go. If you are a believer you’ll go to some sort of heaven or paradise…or hell. As gruesome as this all sounds it is a very real possibility because scientists say that it happened once before, which is why the dinosaur age came to a sudden halt…and it could very well happen again.<br />Also years ago there was a book about this big blue ball that we live on, and the author treated it as if it were a spaceship hurtling through space…which, in fact, it is. He proposed that earthlings look to other planets to colonize just because earth might disappear one day. Jules Verne, back in 1865, was already thinking about going to the moon, and in 1968, we did just that, and landed a man on the moon and returned him safely to earth. We’re now contemplating expeditions to Mars which is the next-closest to our own planet. Trips to Mars are not going to be short ones, and from what I’ve read, young people could grow old on such a trip. Is Mars even habitable for earthlings? <br />This is from a site called Mars.com , After the Earth, Mars is the most habitable planet in our solar system due to several reasons: Its soil contains water to extract…It isn’t too cold or too hot…there is enough sunlight to use solar panels…Gravity on Mars is 38% that of our Earth's, which is believed by many to be sufficient for the human body to adapt to…It has an atmosphere (albeit a thin one) that offers protection from cosmic and the Sun's radiation…The day/night rhythm is very similar to ours here on Earth: a Mars day is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds…so you can appreciate why Mars may be the new home for earthlings.<br />Maybe this gave you something to think about. I hope so. As Bogie says, the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world…and that’s just as true as if you said 3 billion, because when it’s over, it’s over.<br />My parting shot is this, sent in by a reader. I think it’s humorous, and if it offends anyone…too bad. “Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics German, the lovers French and it’s all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the police are German, the chefs British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, and it’s all organized by the Italians.” If you have comments, get me at amafrog@att.net I answer everything.<br /><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03804663864709440514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6494702128201104526.post-36691326259565082082016-10-16T13:26:00.000-07:002016-10-16T13:26:02.054-07:00WHO’S ABOVE THE LAW?<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently, the House Republicans’ continuing investigation of
Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server on<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>prompted new subpoenas, three witnesses
taking the Fifth Amendment and one Clinton
family information technology aide explained his use of a hammer to destroy his
boss’ obsolete mobile devices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Justin
Cooper, a 15-year all-purpose employee of the Clinton family, was the only IT
specialist among four invited by the House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee to testify rather than invoke his right not to incriminate
himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The result was new detail on
the origins of the private server in Clinton’s Chappaqua, N.Y.,
home following an FBI investigation that found “carelessness” by her but no
grounds for prosecution. Republicans said they are just getting started in
asking what they see as unanswered questions about the security and
transparency of Clinton’s
arrangement, while Democrats called the series of hearings a redundant,
politically motivated election-year “photo op.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Asked why, as the FBI reported this month, he took a hammer
to one of Clinton’s
mobile devices, Cooper said “it was not done in any way to destroy or hide
information” but to avoid “putting it in the trash where someone could find
it.” He stressed that whenever he switched Clinton to a new mobile device, he “felt it
was good practice” to destroy the old one after all data had been transferred
and backed up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cooper said the Clintons never discussed
with him any issues about the Federal Records Act or the Freedom of Information
Act. On the contrary, he said, he went to great lengths to fully transfer all
data from the old device to the new.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
questioning by Republicans, however, Cooper acknowledged that he did not have
security clearance, despite having access to many State Department emails in
the course of helping both Bill and Hillary Clinton. When he found some
official content on his own backup computer, he said, he turned it over to his
attorneys who relayed them to the FBI.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cooper, who now works as a consultant for a variety of
clients but not the Clintons, also acknowledged that he was not an IT expert;
he was the “interface” with the Clintons.
The “engineering” and security of the private server were the province of Bryan Pagliano—whom
Republicans had invited as the key witness. Pagliano declined to show up at the
hearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was after the Clinton presidential campaign of 2008 shut down, Cooper
said, that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin asked him to work with Pagliano,
who had bought surplus computers from the campaign, on setting up Apple iMacs
in the Clinton’s New York
and Washington homes to relay emails to Clinton’s BlackBerry.
“They had a desire to change her email address because a number of people had
that address,” he said, calling it a “matter of convenience” to add her account
to the existing, Secret Service-protected server being used by former President
Clinton.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Later, “user problems” surfaced, and Pagliano thought they
needed to expand to a “more robust” system that he helped physically install in
March 2009. The only people with email accounts on the server, Cooper said,
were Hillary Clinton, Abedin and Chelsea Clinton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cooper said he was not around when the
server was moved to a secure room in the home after Hillary Clinton became
secretary of State. “I’ve never been in a position to be technical expert on
either the server or whether classified email was sent to secretary,” said
Cooper. He did acknowledge, when asked by Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., about
the risks of hacking attacks by Russia
and China,
that this “is something to be concerned about.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In response to other lawmakers’ questions,
he said he was paid by the Clinton
family executive services contractor, and that he is paying his own attorney
fees during the investigation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, opened the
hearing by saying, “Hillary Clinton as secretary of State for roughly four
years helped create one of what is reported to be one of the biggest security
breaches in the history of the State Department and it is an absolute
mess.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said he wanted to hear from Pagliano
and two officials from Platte River Networks—the private firm that later
supervised Clinton’s
server—to learn details on how the server would have been safeguarded against
hacking when there was “no encryption, no dual authentication.” Chaffetz said
Pagliano was hired at the State Department as a GS-15 but failed to report that
he was also being paid by the Clintons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Chaffetz wanted Platte River Networks
employees Bill Thornton and Paul Combetta to explain an email released by the
FBI that appears to express the firm’s anxiety about being asked in March 2015
to delete past Clinton
emails without a written agreement staying why—given the fact that a
congressional committee would subpoena them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Neither employee present would speak beyond invoking, on
advice of counsel, the Fifth Amendment. Their silence and the absence of
Pagliano prompted Chaffetz to decry the way Pagliano “thumbed his nose at the
U.S. Congress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will continue to
explore all options,” Chaffetz added. “Anyone under the illusion that I’m going
to let it go and sail off into the sunset is mistaken.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ranking member Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said,
“Today is our third emergency hearing about Secretary Clinton’s emails in four
business days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe this committee
is abusing taxpayer dollars and the authority of Congress in an astonishing
onslaught of political attacks to damage Secretary Clinton’s campaign for
president.” Stressing that the FBI had already concluded a professional
investigation that found no criminal liability, Cummings said, “The point of
today’s hearing is to investigate baseless Republican accusations that
Secretary Clinton or her aides ordered the destruction of emails to conceal
them from investigators.” He argued for having Pagliano, whom the Justice
Department granted immunity, testify in an executive session.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Republicans made it plain that the issue isn’t fading soon.
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, the chairman of the Science, Space and Technology
Committee who was permitted to attend and pose questions, said he had just
issued three more subpoenas to private IT firms working on the Clinton server.
Their responses, he said, suggest “obstruction of justice” and “continues a Clinton habit of secrecy,
not transparency.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In gaveling the
hearing to a close, Chaffetz announced it was being recessed to a later
date.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d;"></span></i></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0d0d0d;">What I deduced from this is that, even when
a Congressional subpoena is issued, you don’t have to show up, if you work for
the right people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you or I refused to
show up when subpoenaed by a lower court, you can bet they would issue a bench
warrant and we’d go straight to jail, not passing GO and not getting two
hundred dollars either!</span></i></b></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">She lies even when lies gain her
nothing, and REWARDS corruption among her inner circle, (looking at YOU, Debbie
Wasserman-Schultz). In that environment, even little inconsistencies begin to
look suspicious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember the health
story? Cough, cough. ‘Feeling fine’… ‘Just allergies’… <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Doctor Drew weighs in, gets his
show cancelled</i></b>… Collapse… ‘just overheated’… People tweet weather
conditions… ok, it’s Pneumonia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
the deception Hillary’s famous for… she even had the primaries in her own
‘Democratic’ Party ‘rigged’. And when DWS resigned in shame? She was
immediately snapped up by the Clinton campaign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First off, we already knew Hillary had a
custom-built podium, presumably to minimize the apparent difference in height
between the candidates. That’s where this latest controversy begins.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">First, there was the
video clip from the end of the debate of someone (dubbed ‘The Cleaner’) taking
a folder <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">away</i></b> from Hillary’s podium, before walking past the moderator’s
table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The question being asked by
some, is ‘did Hillary have advance notice of the questions?’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hillary seemed a little ‘too’ ready for the
questions. Is this the same Hillary who didn’t understand that ‘C’ stood for
Classified?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We now know who they guy in
the clip is: The Cleaner has been identified as Brady Williamson, a long time
democrat operative and three-decade member of the democrat debate negotiation
team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One keen observer noticed a glint
of light off of Hillary’s podium that was not seen on Trump’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Hillary were generally thought to be
honest, this would probably be waved away as a trick of the light shining off
the polished wood. But Hillary has a track record of gaming the system, doesn’t
she?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Find the video of the debate, and
notice which podium has all the activity around it? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You probably want to watch this with the
sound down, because it goes way past actual observable details, and ventures
into wild conjecture, especially after the 10-minute mark. But it points out
the observable differences between the podiums that are giving some observers
pause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And again, we emphasize — if
Hillary had been an honorable woman, none of this would EVER have even come up
in the first place.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Democrat
presidential nominee Hillary Clinton claims to care about every American. What
does she really think about those who can’t help her out, though? As November
comes closer, we look back at one incident involving her luggage that could
tell us a lot about how a Clinton presidency might look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back in 2014, FBI agent Gary Aldridge
published a book called “Unlimited Access,” dealing with his time at the
bureau. A lot of the most explosive details from it had to deal with Aldridge’s
interactions with the first family during the 1990s — specifically, with
Hillary Clinton.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">According to the U.K. Daily Mail, and to
nobody’s surprise, Hillary Clinton was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">considered a pain to work with</i></b> and
was nasty to almost anyone she came across. She mistreated Secret Service
agents and pretty much every person in the White House apparatus.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>On
one occasion, she asked an FBI agent to carry her luggage. That wasn’t part of
his detail, and insulting at the very least. When he declined, she exploded at
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Stay the f*** away from me! Just
f***ing do as I say!” Clinton reportedly told the agent. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Classy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’ve all heard the tales about how Clinton has mistreated the Secret
Service or our men in uniform, which <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">should be</i></b> a good enough reason not
to vote for her. Behind the supposedly equable exterior lies someone who isn’t
exactly the most grounded individual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember:
After Hillary Clinton gets your vote (or, hopefully, not), she doesn’t have to
kiss up to you anymore. You’re just another FBI agent who should be handling
her baggage. We’re all going to be Hillary Clinton’s baggage handlers, and it’s
going to come at the expense of our economy, our constitutional rights and our
security.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this the woman you want as
our commander in chief? I certainly don’t.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>And,
even newer was the leaked audio tapes and how Clinton really thinks about the
millennials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hacked audio of a
conversation between Hillary Clinton and donors during a February fundraising
event shows the Democrat nominee describing Bernie Sanders supporters as
"children of the Great Recession" who are "living in their
parents’ basement."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speaking at a
Virginia fundraiser hosted by former U.S. ambassador Beatrice Welters, Clinton
says in a clip released by the Free Beacon that many of her former primary
opponent's supporters sought things like “free college, free health care,”
saying that she preferred to occupy the space "from the center-left to the
center-right" on the political spectrum. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the conversation, also reported in the
Intercept, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Clinton confesses to feeling "bewildered"</i></b> by those to
her far-left and far-right in the election.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">"There is a strain
of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic,
discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican
candidates," she said. "And on the other side, there’s just a deep
desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what
we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as
far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t
know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">While stressing the
need to not serve as a "wet blanket on idealism," Clinton paints fans
of the then-surging Vermont senator as political newbies attempting to deal
with an economy that has fallen short of their expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Some are new to politics completely.
They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’
basement," she said. "They feel they got their education and the jobs
that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves.
And they don’t see much of a future."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Clinton added: "If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you
know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and
doesn’t have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea
that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty
appealing."<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">"I think we all
should be really understanding of that," Clinton said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The audio, which according to the Free
Beacon was "revealed by hackers who breached the email account of a
campaign staffer," surfaces the same week that Sanders hit the campaign
trail to try to win those same young voters that Clinton has struggled to
attract since clinching the Democratic nomination. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For Sanders to cave in as he did, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">there
had to be a deal that was made,</i></b> and I’ll bet a steak dinner on that!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Now, let’s talk about her running mate,
Tim Kaine, for a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Tim Kaine lied and got caught doing it…</span></i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">The Democrat Party relentlessly panders
to the Hispanic community to get votes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine sank to new depths of shameless
political spins during a recent CNN interview.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But what shocked viewers was that his statement was such an over-the-top
lie that he got called out by the liberal host.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Appearing on CNN’s New Day, Hillary’s
running mate – Senator Tim Kaine – claimed that sanctuary cities don’t exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mediaite reports:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">“Democratic vice presidential candidate
Tim Kaine was called out by CNN New Day host Chris Cuomo Thursday after
suggesting that sanctuary cities– localities that refuse to cooperate with
federal immigration officials– do not actually exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I trust the voters of communities to hold
their mayors and their police departments responsible,” Kaine said. “When
Donald Trump kind of goes after these phantom ‘sanctuary cities’ and talks
about how bad they are, basically what he’s going after is police chiefs. And I
trust police chiefs in terms of knowing what should be done to keep their
communities safer and police departments and mayors a lot more than I trust
Donald Trump.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">That was too much even
for Chris Cuomo – the son of liberal icon and former Governor of New York,
Mario Cuomo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Mediaite further reports on the host
taking Kaine to task: “Cuomo took issue with Kaine’s insistence that the idea of
sanctuary cities was only “phantom.” “But why do you say ‘phantom’? You know
that there are places that refuse to cooperate with Immigrant Customs
Enforcement and they have their assembly of different reasons for why they do
it, but sanctuary cities are real,” he said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“They exist, they’re not phantom,” he continued. “And a lot of people
believe that, you know, you have those people being rewarded for not working
hand in hand with ICE.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Sanctuary cities became
a hot-button issue during the campaign after the murder of Kate Steinle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Steinle was killed by an illegal immigrant
who had previously been deported five times, but was able to roam freely in the
sanctuary city of San Francisco.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>CNN
reports on the circumstances surrounding her murder: “On the evening of July 1,
2015, Steinle was walking on a busy pier of the Embarcadero with her father
when there was a single popping sound in the air. The 32-year-old medical
device sales representative was shot in the chest, a bullet piercing her aorta,
according to the lawsuit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her father,
James, held her in his arms. “Help me Daddy,” were her last words to him, the
lawsuit said. She died later at a hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The man accused of firing the deadly shot — 45-year-old Juan Francisco
Lopez-Sanchez — is an undocumented immigrant and a repeat felon who has been <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">deported
five times</i></b> to Mexico, according to the suit.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">San Francisco is one of
over two hundred sanctuary cities in the United States where elected officials
refuse to enforce federal immigration laws.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Trump has made <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ending</i></b> sanctuary cities one of the
ten proposed immigration reforms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
said he will withhold federal funding from cities that refuse to enforce our
immigration laws.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Democrat and
Republican tickets clearly have different priorities on immigration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hillary has promised amnesty in the first
100 days, and Tim Kaine claims sanctuary cities don’t exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trump has promised to secure our border,
build a wall that Mexico will pay for, end illegal immigration, and transform
our immigration system into one that serves American interests and American
workers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-size: 13.0pt;">Parting
shot…</span></i></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">I would say those are worthwhile goals
and I believe Trump is the one that can do them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If, however, your thinking is that we should
have four more years of Obama, his failed policies and lies, then, by all
means, vote for Mrs. Clinton.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></span></i></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red;">THIS AND THAT FOR OCTOBER 2016</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Some things may never come to light if the mainstream media has their
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are the public <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>relations arm of the Democrat party so it follows that any
negative news is going to be buried or diverted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, here’s something for you to think about…</i></b>Breitbart
News, on August 2<sup>nd</sup>, 2016 reports that Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold
Star father that Democrats and their allies media wide have been using to
hammer GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump, has deleted his law firm’s
website from the Internet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
development is significant, as his website proved—as Breitbart News and others
have reported—that he financially benefits from unfettered pay-to-play Muslim
migration into America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His website, shows that as a lawyer he
engages in procurement of EB5 immigration visas and other “Related Immigration
Services.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The website is completely
removed from the Internet, and instead directs visitors to the URL at which it
once was to a page parking the URL run by GoDaddy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The EB5 program, which helps wealthy foreigners usually from
the Middle East essentially buy their way into America, is fraught with corruption.
U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has
detailed such corruption over the past several months, and in February issued a
blistering statement about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Maybe
it is only here on Capitol Hill—on this island surrounded by reality—that we
can choose to plug our ears and refuse to listen to commonly accepted facts,”
Grassley said in a statement earlier this year. “The Government Accountability
Office, the media, industry experts, members of congress, and federal agency officials,
have concurred that the program is a serious problem with serious
vulnerabilities. Allow me to mention a few of the flaws.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grassley’s statement even noted that the program Khan
celebrated on his website has posed national security risks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“There are also classified reports that
detail the national security, fraud and abuse. Our committee has received
numerous briefings and classified documents to show this side of the story,”
Grassley said in the early February 2016 statement. “The enforcement arm of the
Department of Homeland Security wrote an internal memo that raises significant
concerns about the program. One section of the memo outlines concerns that it
could be used by Iranian operatives to infiltrate the United States.
The memo identifies seven main areas of program vulnerability, including the
export of sensitive technology, economic espionage, use by foreign government
agents and terrorists, investment fraud, illicit finance and money laundering.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Khan spoke alongside his wife Ghazala Khan at the Democratic
National Convention last week in Philadelphia, and they were honoring their son
U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan—a hero who lost his life to a suicide bomber in
Iraq in 2004. On behalf of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president,
Khizr Khan ripped into Donald Trump’s policies on immigration—specifically
bashing his plan to bar Muslim migration from regions afflicted with rampant
terrorism into America
temporarily until the United
States can figure out what’s going on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Khan even brought out a pocket Constitution,
claiming inaccurately that Trump’s plans were unconstitutional. That’s not
true, as Congress has already granted such power to the president under the
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952—allowing the president to bar migration
of any alien or class of aliens the president sees as a threat to the United States
for any reason at any time. Such a class of aliens could be Muslims, or it
could be people from a specific region of the world, or any other class—such as
someone’s race, weight, height, age, national origin, religion, or anything
else.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The media, along with Hillary Clinton and her supporters
throughout the Democratic Party establishment, has pushed the line of attack
against Trump for days. Now on Tuesday, President Barack Obama has said that
Trump is “unfit” to serve as President over the matter. Even a group of
anti-Trump congressional Republicans has gone after Trump on the matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But as Breitbart News and other new media
have exposed Khan’s various deep political and legal connections to the Clintons—and to Muslim
migration—the attack line has crumbled. Now, with Khan deleting his website in
an apparent effort to hide his biographical information, the attack is falling
apart even more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What’s perhaps interesting is that also on this website that
he has now deleted, Khan revealed that he spent nearly a decade working for the
mega-D.C. law firm Hogan & Hartson—now Hogan Lovells LLP—which connects him
directly with the government of Saudi
Arabia and the Clintons themselves. Saudi Arabia,
which has retained the firm that Khan worked at for years, has donated between
$10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. Hillary Clinton, despite
the repeated urging of Trump, has refused to return the Clinton Cash money to
the Saudis. What’s more, Hogan Lovells also did Hillary Clinton’s taxes—and
helped acquire the patents for parts of the technology she used in crafting her
illicit home-brew email server that the FBI director called “extremely
careless” in handling classified information.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What’s more, the entire mainstream has proven negligence
with regard to this matter as none of them even thought to look into this Khan
guy’s law practice before bandying him about as some kind of magic elixir that
cures the country of Trump.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s the
end of the Breitbart report.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">As I
see it, this is just one more distraction away from seeing the real Hillary
Clinton…but this shiny object that we’re drawn to is even worse than we
originally thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ties that bind,
in this case it’s millions and millions of dollars, tie the Clinton campaign
and, no doubt, her presidency if she wins, to the will of Saudi Arabia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is not a good thing for this country.</i></b></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There are very few things that I keep on my mind because
they get written down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My father used
to tell me that anything written down is permanent and that it could be used
against you at some point in the future…and he was right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The problem, if you want to call it that, is
that it works both ways…something written can be used in your defense, as well
as against you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You might have thought
one way when you were younger, and then as you got older your values may have
changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thoughts cannot be interpreted,
and words can be, both ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like
words and especially words that people much smarter than I am, have used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Quotes from those kinds of people are almost
always better than anything I could have said…so I use them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not everything is a good quote, and some are
better than others, but if they get your point across then that’s what
matters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s look at a few things
that have been on my mind and maybe there’s a quote about them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The flag, the pledge, and the vision</i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;">Recently in a small town
in Oklahoma,
Owasso to be exact, the police refused to allow the American flag in the
football stadium.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were acting on
orders from school officials and students were made to put the flags back in
their vehicles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This happened on the
same day that, in South Carolina,
another high school said that American flags were not welcome at the football
game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Folks, they would have to put me
in jail before I would NOT bring an American flag to a game, if I so desired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the face of it you might think that it’s
an insignificant event, but stack it alongside the other things that are going
on, which demean the flag, the armed forces and our country, and it’s a really
big deal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I daresay that we’re on a
slippery slope and we’re wearing very slick shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;">Back in
May, at a Trump rally, his people were told not to sing the national
anthem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The excuse given was that there
wasn’t enough time, and Trump responded that yes, there was time, and brought
out Sherry Wilkins to sing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At a
softball game in Louisiana the story was the same…not enough time to sing the
Star Spangled Banner, so the fans started singing it and the game was held up
for a brief time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In April at, of all
places, the 911 Memorial, some children from a middle school in North Carolina were told
they could not sing the national anthem there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The guards said they needed a permit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A spokesperson for the memorial said that the situation could have been
handled in a more gentle manner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s
suppose, for a moment, that you wanted to visit the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a place where many tourists go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would it be against the rules somehow, if a
class of children, visibly impressed, started singing the Star Spangled Banner?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It very well might be…and that’s wrong.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;">The
United States Ninth Circuit Court recently ruled that a teacher cannot lead the
Pledge Of Allegiance because the court ruled that reciting this phrase is a
violation of the alleged Constitutional separation of church and state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, if the teacher doesn’t lead them, can
the students say it by themselves?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
question has yet to be raised as a test case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When I went to school, we said the Pledge Of Allegiance every morning,
but the phrase “under God” was not in it then. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking at this in a simplistic manner, the
pledge is for the flag, so if the phrase offends you, remain silent for that
part, and say the rest of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
largest group of faiths in the country are lumped together as “Christian”, but
they don’t have exclusive rights to God, so the phrase could apply to
everyone…except atheists and Muslims, that is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;">There have been several
incidents involving a person wearing a uniform…and it could have been a member
of the armed forces, a law enforcement person, even a firefighter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;">There
have been recent events where members of a police department were refused
service…in restaurants, in WalMart and I believe one was in a donut shop, but I
couldn’t trace that one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The point here
is that some people simply do not understand that the police, the fire
department or the military, are not their enemies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If something happens in their city, they’re
most likely to call upon these uniformed personnel to come to their aid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consider what has taken place in some
locales in this country…police and firefighters are afraid to go to the aid of
the caller because it might be an ambush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In Europe they are even more involved
than we are because they have entire neighborhoods that are off-limits to
“infidels”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are only a few years
behind Europe, believe me, and we’re gaining
fast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When law and order go out the
window, do you want to know what comes in?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Anarchy, that’s what comes in…fighting in the streets, and neighborhoods
being carved up and placed under the protection of the local strongman.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;">When you
listen or watch the news you won’t hear a lot of this stuff because they have a
vested interest in keeping it from you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Until the news is so bad that they just cannot avoid saying something,
and that will be couched in the softest of terms, you will think everything is
just hunky-dory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is dirty work
afoot in this country and the sooner the population understands what is
happening, the better off they will be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Forewarned is forearmed, as the saying goes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As far back as 2006, an author was writing
about how he thought the world was going…and re-reading that book today it
amazes me to see just how accurate his thinking was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George Orwell, when he wrote 1984, had no
idea how close he was coming to the truth of things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since he died in 1950, his book has been
examined and re-examined to check on his predictions…which are becoming
realities at a dizzying pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are
always visionaries among us…Thomas Jefferson was one of the greats and both the
Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution are testaments
to that vision.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;">This
quote, by Winston Churchill, was during World War Two, but it could easily
apply to the United States
now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We shall defend our island,
whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the
landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall
fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 16.0pt;">C’mon America,
wake up…your country needs you…desperately.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
“What one generation tolerates, the next generation
will embrace.”― John Wesley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In that
short sentence it is possible to understand the potential surrender of the United States,
to some as-yet unnamed enemy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Between a
feckless government spanning several generations, and the relatively new thing
called political correctness, one can trace the downward spiral of imagination,
power, and moral fortitude that the United States used to have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My parents brought me up in The Great
Depression, and so my values are different from my children’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their generation was brought up on Dr. Spock
and his theories…many of which have proven to have been more harmful than
good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps their values are better
than mine, I don’t know…I just know that they are different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recalling that first sentence, and if you
will look around with an objective pair of eyes, don’t you see that America has
changed?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Politics is supposed to be the business of running
governments…but it has morphed into something completely different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now it is the home of men and women who’ve
made a career out of not working at something we can recognize as a job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Originally members of the United States
Congress were supposed to go to Washington,
do their job and when their term was over, return back to their own community
and take up their lives where they left off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Somewhere along the way all that changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have people in Congress that are
celebrating thirty and forty years in their seats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’ve established a fiefdom and rule over
it as a king might have in the olden days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Term limits, which have been in place for years in the office of the
President, should be equally applicable for members of Congress as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No one needs to have a vested interest in
remaining in Congress…that only makes the gap between one side and the other
wider.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
As millennia go, what happened in Germany in the
1930’s was just an eye-blink back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
prominent German journalist, Heinrich Heine had this to say, "Wherever
they burn books, in the end will also burn human beings.", and he was
eighty years ahead of his time when he said it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyone who lived through World War 2, as I
did, knows about the burning of books…and people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was Germany
then, and Europe now, as the Muslim hordes
invade the continent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charles Martel,
“the Hammer”, stopped the Muslim invasion at the battle of Tours in 732, but
now, in modern times the barbarians are not stopping at Tours …they are
planning to take over Europe and, from the looks of things, they are going to
succeed by about 2030.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When your
population ages, and there isn’t enough of a replacement population to keep
things going, another population is going to come in and take over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s is what happened, and continues to
happen, in Europe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The native Europeans were simply not having
enough children to keep going…so they brought in, or allowed in, thousands of
Muslims.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Demographics show that Muslims
breed four to five times more children than do the host countries.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
In the legal dictionary this is what it says about a
subpoena: “A subpoena is an order directed to an individual commanding him to
appear in court on a certain day to testify or produce documents in a pending
lawsuit. The power to subpoena a person is granted officers of the court, such
as clerks of courts, attorneys and judges. A person may be subpoenaed to appear
in court or any designated location to provide testimony for trial or
deposition or produce documents or other evidence. A subpoena which requests
items be brought with the person is called a "subpoena duces tecum".<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, having that definition, wouldn’t you
think that ignoring a subpoena would bring an arrest, and place the person in
jail?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How is it then, that government
people get called to testify and simply refuse or ignore the subpoena?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are they, somehow, above the law that you
and I must follow?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we’re on the
subject of appearing somewhere to testify, it seems to me that we have an awful
lot of “hearings” and very few “doings”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When a decision is reached in a hearing, why isn’t it carried out
promptly?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why do we need hearings on
hearings, when guilt or innocence has already been established?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Congress is just too committee-minded and
not enough action-oriented for my taste.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Back in June, the Senate blocked a $1.1 billion bill
to combat the Zika virus, and a Florida
senator said that would cause hardships in the state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bill, if it had become law, would have
cut $750 million from other health programs to fund anti-Zika efforts. The bill
also would have cut $543 million in unused funds from the implementation of
Obamacare, $107 million from leftover funds used to fight Ebola, and $100
million in administrative funds from the Health and Human Services Department.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To my way of thinking, if you have a plan to
fight a disease, and you can save money by cutting waste from other programs,
why would you not do that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Democrats said that Republicans had inserted a provision cutting financing from
the Affordable Care Act,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and that they
had stripped a House provision that would ban the flying of the Confederate
battle flag in federal cemeteries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tell
me how<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> you connect the Zika virus with the Confederate
flag?</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red;">ANOTHER COUPLE OF RANDOM THOUGHTS.</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
The only balls that Hussein Obama has are golf balls
and he plays with them way too much.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
In my library are books written before and during the
Obama administration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The “before” books
go all the way back to the 1930’s when H. G. Wells wrote his theory of “things
to come” and, sadly, a lot of what he thought then has come to pass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1949 saw the publication of George Orwell’s
“1984” and his view of the world was even more devastating…and now is coming
true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The books that cover the
administration of Obama are no less revealing and no less frightening
either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Re-reading some of these makes
me wonder about how some people could know so much and never get the public to
understand that we are self-destructing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I recently read “America Alone” by Mark Steyn and was unpleasantly
surprised to find out that in 2006 he was so accurate, based on current events.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
It seems to me that there used to be a position held
by state officials and it was about looting during a riot, or natural
disaster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In short it was “if you loot,
we shoot” and that has gone by the boards apparently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why should the public be subjected to
thievery following a riot or natural disaster, when popping one or two looters
would put an end to that sort of thing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Unless there is a federal law against it, and if I was the governor of a
state, that would be the first rule to follow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Put the police out there in riot gear with instructions to shoot anyone
with a weapon and who does not comply with a request to put the weapon down…and
a weapon is not just a firearm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A weapon
is a brick, a rock, a baseball bat, a knive, an axe…anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyone in the street, with a weapon and who
does not comply with the request to put it down and put their hands on their
head is a potential attacker…and the police do not need to be shy when it comes
to saving their own life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
On October 24, 2014, Hillary Clinton gave a speech on
behalf of Martha Coakley, who was running for Governor of Massachusetts at the
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the speech she said,
"Don’t let anybody tell you that, you know, it's corporations and
businesses that create jobs."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Clinton herself later said she "shorthanded" her
comments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now folks, remember, this is
the same person that “short-circuited” her remarks in 2016.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hillary Clinton attempted to clarify recent
misleading statements about her use of a private email server at the State
Department, saying she "may have short-circuited" her answers about
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems to me that Mrs. Clinton
makes a lot of wrong answers and then has to back-track on them, because it’s
for sure she won’t stand behind them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
While we’re on the subject of the Clinton Clan, how’s
this for an eye-opener… Recently in The Political Insider it was said that
Chelsea Clinton may not be the biological daughter of Bill
and Hillary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another skeleton in
Hillary’s closet is coming back to haunt her… It appears Chelsea Clinton’s real
father is Webster Hubbell, the former Mayor of Little Rock, Arkansas. Hubbell
was a law partner at Rose Law Firm with Hillary, and became one of the most
important Clinton-insiders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then-Governor Clinton appointed Hubbell as Chief Justice of the Arkansas
State Supreme Court, but 10 years later he resigned before pleading guilty to
federal mail fraud and tax evasion for overbilling clients. Hubbell served 15
months in prison.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The New Yorker
reported on rumors that Hillary Clinton’s affair was first noticed in 1984 at
the Governor’s Mansion during Bill’s
second term, but had started long before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
Apparently, Bill
Clinton is infertile. This raises serious character questions about Hillary
Clinton… If she was elected, this type of sex scandal could open her up to
blackmail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Robert Morrow claimed:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“His exact words were, ‘I shoot blanks.’
Stunned by what I’d just heard, I asked him, ‘Then what about Chelsea?’ And he
said, ‘Oh, Webb (Hubbell) sired her.’”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As the National Enquirer reported (the same tabloid which broke the John Edwards sex scandal), the accusation was being
made by former Clinton
aide Larry Nichols.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“According to
well-respected author Edward Klein’s (2005) book, The Truth about Hillary, Bill discovered his wife was pregnant by reading it
in the ‘Arkansas Gazette.’”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It’s
unfortunate, sad really, that Chelsea has no
real relationship with Hubbell – who I believe to be her real biological father
– when he’s alive and kicking and living in North Carolina.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
“But it could be she’s in denial, despite overwhelming
proof that Webb is her real dad.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Whatever Chelsea
does or doesn’t know about her paternity, I’m sure she considers Bill her real dad — despite there being no blood
ties,” Nichols said. “I saw firsthand what a doting, loving father he was to
his little girl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He always treated her
as if she was his own – which in his heart, I believe she’s always been – from
day one.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, as an update, the
National Enquirer attempted a DNA test and Hubble was NOT excluded as the
possible father:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ENQUIRER approached
Webb, 67, at a book signing in Durham, N.C.,
on July 18, 2014. He was promoting his political thriller ironically titled,
“When Men Betray.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Webb arrived to
a crowd of about 10 people in attendance – including an ENQUIRER reporter
posing as a fan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
reporter presented a brand new Sharpie pen and a pristine copy of the book.
Webb signed his name in the book – and even agreed to place both the book and
the Sharpie pen in a protective bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Webb was more than accommodating. He just thought I was some kind of
super fan,” said the reporter, who also retrieved a large Starbucks drink that
Webb had been drinking from – which was later tested for additional saliva and
DNA!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chelsea’s DNA was much more difficult to
acquire. As a former First Daughter, she’s constantly guarded by Secret Service
agents or an entourage from her dad’s Clinton Foundation – where she serves as
Vice Chairwoman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On April 9, however,
The ENQUIRER was there as Chelsea spoke about
public health initiatives at Harvard University’s T.H.
Chan School
of Public Health in Boston.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
undercover ENQUIRER reporter posed as a high school student visiting Harvard on
a college tour. As Chelsea
exited the auditorium, the teenager followed with a new Sharpie and a clean
copy of Hillary’s authorized biography, “Living History.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Chelsea,
I admire you so much! Can you sign your mother’s book for me?” the teen
gushed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eager to please, Chelsea signed the book
for the teenager – who quickly returned it, along with the Sharpie pen tucked
inside, to an ENQUIRER reporter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
samples were taken to a genetics lab in the Southeastern
United States – which agreed to do the testing on the agreement
that The ENQUIRER not publish its name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The forensic examination of the samples could not disprove that Webb was
Chelsea’s
father – with the official result being “inconclusive.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In
a surprise move, the entire police force of Green Mountain Falls, Colorado,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>resigned, and this prompted the Mayor Jane
Newberry to suggest that the 700 residents of the town “all look out for each
other.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In years past, Colorado was a big part
of what we now call the wild, wild west…but it has certainly undergone a huge
change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The skiing crowd, and they’re
probably mostly Democrat, have transformed the state from a place where people
were rugged individualists to politically correct wusses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With no police force to protect them they’ll
probably have to depend on county or state law enforcement agencies…and who
knows how long it might take for them to get to where a crime is being
committed?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Coloradans, listen up…you
have a heritage of cowboys, so get back to your roots and start carrying a
sidearm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When seconds count, the police
are going to be minutes away…you can make a choice to live or die…and a weapon
will help you make that decision.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There
are volumes that have been written about demographics, literally hundreds of
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They give all sorts of statistics
as to what is happening and what is going to happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, I know that statistics can lie, but
there is one fact that emerges from all the numbers, and that is that in an
area or a country where Islam is dominant, birthrates are four to six times
higher than the surrounding area or country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Europe, which will soon be Eurabia, is
a good example of this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Europeans are
aging and the replacement younger generation does not wish to remain in a
country where they will be used to support the elders…so they will leave for
greener pastures, so to speak.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gap
that is left by these young Europeans is being filled by young Eurabians.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are people born into a European
country, but whose heart and soul belong to Islam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no denying this fact when the
demographics are looked at with an objective eye.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Europeans are reproducing at about 1.3
babies per woman, whereas the Muslim birthrate is about 4 to 6 times that
amount.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This phenomenon is not confined
to Europe, as you might hope, but even here in the United States, we are seeing this,
albeit in smaller numbers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It just will
take one or two more generations here, than it has been taking in Europe.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now,
a parting shot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s been reported that
Canada’s
Prime Minister Trudeau wants to legalize recreational marijuana.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe it’s because he admitted that he smoked
it several times, and it could also draw Americans across the border, that he
favors the legalization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knows?</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">These are some excerpts from
The primordial world of Islam, By<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Alexander Maistrovoy,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>June 1,
2016 writing in the Canada Free Press.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">The
involution of Islam is just one side of the coin. The other one, which is not
less horrifying, is the spiritual degradation of the West that welcomes the
primordial predatory world with cute teddy bears, songs about peace and
flowers. The Islamic world of the Middle East is sinking into the gloomy and
forgotten past: the Bronze Age, the world of slavery, human sacrifice,
pedophilia, sexual sacred traditions, beliefs in conspiracies and now the most
terrible - ritual cannibalism and the systematic elimination of dogs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why? He could not give a clear answer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because dogs, according to Islam, are
“unclean animals”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dogs are not the
only victims of “Palestinian frustration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Donkeys are subject to regular abuse by Palestinian teenagers; “fighters
against occupants” use them as “shahids” tying explosives to them and sending
them to Israelis. There is another kind of entertainment: they paint a donkey
in the colors of the Israeli flag, torture it, burn out the Star of David on
it, pour over gasoline and set it on fire.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">I
began my journey into the jungle of the Muslim world in the Middle
East - the perverted and cruel world, full of anomalies and
pathologies, irrational anger and countless superstitions. It is a world where
a woman, a child, a person with sexual and psychological aberrations are doomed
to the fate of the miserable dog or donkey. It is a world of jinns, spirits,
beliefs in conspiracies, legalized pedophilia and actual slavery, “codes of honor”
and boundless fanaticism, clans structures, arrogant and suspicious attitude
towards the outside world. It is a world that brings us back to the prehistory
of mankind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no logical
reasoning for this behavior except that it comes from Mohammed and since his
word is perfect, there can be no argument with it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Mankind,
throughout its very existence, desperately tried to set itself free from firm
grips of dark primal instincts, from the viscous swamp of irrational primitive
nature. It was a difficult task, but gains were significant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moral and spiritual ideals of the prophetic
Judaism became the basis of the ethical value system of the Western world. The
Greco-Roman philosophy of the late antiquity broke away from primitive beliefs
and practices, having created unique and unrivalled systems, such as Stoicism
and Epicureanism, Neo-Platonism and Gnosticism. Christianity, having passed
through the hearth of tests and pride, returned to its roots and became one of
the ways to spiritual salvation and social justice. Buddhism is a religion of
consolation, elevation and rejection of carnal beginning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">The pagans readily abandoned
primitive cults, too under the influence of highly developed civilizations.
Hindus didn’t cling to the grim rituals of widows’ self-immolation (Sati) and
Thuggee sects. Christian people of Africa and Siberia
got rid of abominable superstitions quite easily. Descendants of the Aztecs and
Inca in Mexico and Peru don’t
protect their “sacred right” to human sacrifice, and Maori and Polynesians - to
the ritual cannibalism.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Muslim
nations on the periphery of the Islamic world, like Uzbeks, Kazakhs,
Azerbaijanis, Indian Muslims or Hui people in China, are not prone to religious
fanaticism and the practice of slave societies. On one hand, they see
themselves as heirs of cultures that are more ancient than Islam. In Uzbekistan, historical handbooks and guidebooks
remind you about the ancient kingdoms of Bactria and Sogdiana. The Kazakhs
are proud of their kinship with the Cumans Empire. In Azerbaijan,
they show ancient temples of Zoroastrians to tourists.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">On
the other hand, Christianity, the great cultures of India
and China,
and in our time—the secular Soviet ideology softened archaic beliefs and
prejudices of Islam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, Sufi
orders and the Baha’i communities with their center in Haifa
flourish only on the outskirts of the Islamic world, in Central Asia, Azerbaijan, India
and Africa. Also this is the only place (and
only in Israel in the all Middle East) where the truly humanistic Islam movement -
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community - is not subject to severe persecutions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And only in the Middle
East, in the realm of its absolute power, the Muslim world made
its journey just the opposite. It not only returned human beings to the animal
state, but asserted this at the level of the religious law and traditions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Islam has been withdrawing
into itself more and more, sinking into the quagmire of petty disputes,
prohibitions, absurd dogmas and narcissism. All movements of the modern Islam -
from the “Muslim Brotherhood”, “Hizb ut-Tahrir” and Wahhabi / Salafi to the
Taliban, Shiite dogmatists in Iran, “Al-Qaeda” and “Islamic State”—are moving
deeper and deeper into the dark tunnel of pre-Islamic prejudices, gloomy
rituals, primordial instincts and pathological fanaticism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Modern Islam is characterized by all
features of slave-owning, archaic communities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">“World
of Crescent” is the only place on the planet where slavery flourished legally
for centuries and continues to thrive in a disguised form in our time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Formally, Saudi
Arabia, Qatar,
UAE and Yemen
abolished slavery in the 60s, but informally actively practiced it in relation
to foreign workers (Indians, Filipinos, Ceylonese, Thais, etc). All of them
have sponsorship laws (kafeel), which de-facto represent contemporary slavery.
“Sponsors” have absolute power over labor migrants. They can deprive them of
rights of residence, confiscate documents, pay no salaries, ban them from
leaving the country and even their houses on the pretext that the workers might
try to “escape”. They can kill and rape them with impunity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Ownership
of black slaves is a special matter. The religious justification of this
slavery in Islam is rooted in Biblical interpretation, according to which
Africans are sons of Ham who committed an unpardonable sin against his father
Noah, and therefore they are doomed to be slaves of descendants of Shem, i.e.
the Arabs. So Negros, whose ancestors were brought by Arabs from Africa to the
area of Basra
as slaves in the earliest days of Islam, remain slaves of Arabic sheikhs even
now. They are called Abd (“slave”).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Mauritania,
slavery was abolished in the early 80s. But until now the whole population in
this country is actually divided into castes: lighter-skinned “Moors” -
slaveholders, “Black Berbers” or “Haratin”—their subjects, and Negros - the lower class. Slavery is hereditary, and
children of slaves remain the property of their owners. The number of slaves in
the country is estimated to be up to 600,000 men, women and children, or 20% of
the population, though officially the use of the word “slave” in the media is
forbidden. In many cases slaves have a certain place in the house, like
animals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">In Sudan slavery
is thriving. Entire villages are being demolished; men, women and children are being
enslaved. In the 90s, the number of enslaved descendants of Ham was estimated
to be 100 to 200 thousands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Niger slavery
is a norm. There are almost a million of slaves there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ISIS and its branches in Libya and Nigeria
officially revived the institution of slavery in its most heinous and barbarous
form, but slavery is deeply rooted in the collective consciousness of the Middle East world and is practiced actively.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">A
death on the battlefield was considered as honor for a warrior in previous
times, because such death opened the way to heaven. The early version of the
“Jihad” was no exception: men fought against equal rivals in a fair fight, but
by no means against children, women and unarmed men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The current concept of “Jihad” is much
closer to the primitive human sacrifice. The purpose of the ancient cult of
sacrifice was to appease the angry and bloodthirsty Deity. For the sacramental
ceremony they selected predominantly children, juveniles and girls of their own
tribe as the embodiment of naivety and virginity. Sacrifice represented a
horrifying theatrical performance. The sacral victims that voluntarily
sacrificed themselves went to paradise where they could enjoy carnal pleasures.
People from another tribe were slain like cattle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">The
same idiocy we can see in the current interpretation of “Jihad”. For the role
of “martyrs” they choose children and adolescents that are too young to realize
they are going to the slaughter. They believe that by killing themselves they
make their way to heaven - to the embrace of 72 virgins. (What else can a man
of the Bronze Age dream about?) On the other side, slashing of people from
another tribe chosen randomly, especially women and children, shall delight the
cruel Deity and make his enemies tremble from horror.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, the terror of “shahids” is of a
public, theatrical and ultimately horrifying nature - with torn bodies, severed
limbs, blood flows. This is a typical murderous mystery practiced by ancient
people - from Mesopotamia, Syria, and Phoenicia
to South America.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">In
the Age of Bronze, the place of woman in the social hierarchy was a little
higher than the place of livestock. She had three standard roles: a prey—when
speaking about women from another tribe; a slave - for her owner, and a
procreation machine; and finally a “currency” - to conclude bargains, tribal
and dynastic alliances. Her freedom of choice was similar to the freedom of
choice of a horse or a camel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Islam
returned to woman “her” place in the social hierarchy. In the Middle
East she can’t leave the house unaccompanied by her husband,
father or brother; she can’t work; she loses her son in the case of a divorce;
she is subject to beating and humiliation, if she doesn’t satisfy her
husband.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>slam legalizes beating of women and advises how to keep her on a
tight rein like a horse. Sheikh Muhammad Kamal Mustafa, the author of the book
‘The Woman in Islam’ asserted that “It is forbidden to beat her on the
sensitive parts of her body, such as the face, breast, abdomen, and head.
Instead, she should be beaten on the arms and legs”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Sheikh
Yousef Qaradhawi, one of the most influential clerics in Sunni Islam: “It is
permissible for him to beat her lightly with his hands, avoiding her face and
other sensitive parts. In no case should he resort to using a stick or any
other instrument that might cause pain and injury”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In February 2016 Mufti of Gaza Hassan
Al-Laham prescribed: “This hitting is a kind of reminder that the love and
friendship that Allah commanded, is still found between the couple.” Wonderful,
isn’t it? What was the reaction of feminists? It was the arrangement of the
women “Peace flotilla” to Gaza.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Female
genital mutilations deprive women of their sensuality and turn them into
primitive machines for procreation, to insensible dolls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any suspicion of adultery leads to their
murdering by the family: they can pour acid over them, disfigure them or push
them under a truck. The same fate threatens them if they become a victim of a
rape. They get married by the decision of the family without their
consent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Primitive tribes considered
women of conquered people to be their natural prey. Non-Muslim women today
share the same fate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Long before the
ISIS, in 1948, the Arabs set forth to conquer Israel dreaming of killing men and
raping women. In Lebanon,
Palestinians raped Christian women in Lebanon and thereby provoked the
civil war. Secular regimes restrained sexual lusts of Muslims against females
of “infidels.” As soon as they broke, Christian women turned into the object of
sexual harassment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">On
the 10th of April, 2013 Salafi cleric Sheikh Yasir al-‘Ajlawni announced a
fatwa that permits men to rape non-Sunni women in Syria, if they are not Sunni of
course. In Egypt, in
February 2013, Ahmad Mahmoud Abdullah, known as “Abu Islam”, justified raping
of women in Cairo’s
Tahrir Square.
Raping of girls of Coptic community in Egypt became commonplace in the
time of the Mursi ruling. Recently Muslims burned down Christian homes in
southern Egypt
and forced a 70-year-old Coptic woman to walk naked through the streets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Non-Muslim women are whores for a Muslim
man, especially if they walk alone and wear short skirts—as in Cologne,
London, Stockholm
or anywhere else.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Primitive people endowed the
phallus with a sacred value, and considered the act of copulation as a
demonstration of the male power and authority—in relation not only to a woman,
but also to a defeated opponent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
symbolism of sexual possession is well pronounced among aboriginal peoples and monkeys.
Konrad Lorenz described the scene in the Berlin
zoo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">“In
the Berlin Zoo, I once watched two strong, old male Hamadryas Baboons
assaulting each other in real earnest for a minute. A moment later, one of them
fled, hotly pursued by the other, who finally chased him into a corner. Unable
to escape, the loser took refuge in the submissive gesture, whereupon the
winner turned away and walked oft, stiff-legged, in an attitude of
self-display. Upon this, the loser ran after him and presented his hindquarters
so persistently that the stronger one eventually “acknowledged” his
submissiveness by mounting him with a bored expression and performing a few
perfunctory copulatory movements. Only then was the submissive one apparently
satisfied that his rebellion had been forgiven”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rudiments of this culture remained in
marginal societies, for example, in prisons.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">In
the Middle East, a sexual act as a
personification of power over a defeated rival became the norm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lawrence of Arabia was a victim of such
barbaric tradition. Iranian dissidents, Chris Stevens and Gaddafi faced an even
more frightful fate: they were raped and murdered. This barbarity brings us
back to the times that mankind hasn’t known since the appearance of the great
religions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This disgusting phenomenon
was inherent to all people in all times, but only Islam legalized it. Things
that were considered to be shameful in Judaism, Christianity and in the secular
culture, became the norm in the Middle East.
Raymond Ibrahim cites Dr. Saleh bin Fawzan, a prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s
highest religious council.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Bin
Fawzan just issued a fatwa asserting that there is no minimum age for marriage,
and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fawzan insists that nowhere does Sharia set
an age limit for marrying girls: like countless Muslim scholars before him, he
relies on Koran 65:4, which discusses marriage to females who have not yet
begun menstruating (i.e., are prepubescent) and the fact that Muhammad, Islam’s
role model, married Aisha when she was 6-years-old, “consummating” the
marriage—or, in modern parlance, raping her—when she was 9.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ibrahim gives examples of girls who died as
a result of such “child-marriage”, pointing out that leading Islamic
authorities, such as Yusuf Qaradawi, took young girls as wives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to THE INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR
RESEARCH ON WOMEN, in 2005 there were 51 million child marriages and almost all
of them - in Muslim countries.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Ayatollah Khomeini wrote: “A
man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Bestiality?
Why not? Ayatollah Khomeini: “A man can have sex with animals such as sheep,
cows, camels and so on. However he should kill the animal after he has his
orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, however
selling the meat to the next door village should be fine.” (From Khomeini’s
book, Tahrir al-Vasyleh, fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In May 2010 in Gaza, 450 Hamas men married girls that were
younger than 10 years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Feminists?
Oh, yes, we forgot—they are busy arranging the “Flotilla of peace” to Gaza.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Animals
feel irrational hatred to any aberration within their own species. In my
childhood I saw a flock of sparrows that attacked a sick bird - they were
trying to peck it to death. The miserable sparrow managed to escape having
flown into the window of some house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Civilization has moved beyond this disgusting prejudice, but those
unlucky fellows who were born crippled in the Middle East
have no way to escape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a “black
hole” of the Islamic world, and what we know is just the tip of the iceberg.
Last December, the Palestinian agency Maan wrote that in the South of Hebron
they found a mentally ill man, who had spent 25 years on the chain in a
sheepfold. His family chained him up when he was 10 years old, and he ate
together with sheep and chickens. In February 2016, Maan wrote about a mentally
ill person in Bethlehem.
He was handcuffed, chained up in a shed without ventilation and heating and was
fed from a bowl like an animal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
reason of such attitude is primordial fear. According to Islamic belief, a
mentally ill person is in the grip of the jinn and possessed with evil.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Let
alone homosexuals—this is commonplace. They are hanged on cranes, as in Iran, and
thrown from roofs of buildings. LGBT-community, “Doctors Without Borders”,
“Christians for Human right”, “Rabies for Human right”? Of course, they are
fully focused on the fight against Gaza
blockade!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Like primitive cultures,
Islam of the Middle East rejects any and all
manifestations of civilization, even if it’s a dead civilization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s the only culture that fights against
antiquities: Buddhist temples in Afghanistan,
Palmyra, Tuareg
sanctuary. It destroys anyone who belongs to other religions, whether Yazidis,
Christians, Zoroastrians and Bahá’ís.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">They
live in the permanent atmosphere of paranoia. Their own troubles they justify
with theories of conspiracies, but not with their own miscalculations. They
believe in “Sharks of Mossad”, as the governor of South Sinai, Mohammad Abdul
Fadhil Shousha: in “Israeli wild boars” that destroy agricultural fields in the
West Bank, as it was claimed by President Mahmoud Abbas; in “Israeli wild
hyenas” that were released by Israeli settlers in the West Bank to frighten
Palestinian people (by the way, Palestinian people triumphed “Zionist” hyena:
in 2015 they cornered and stoned the miserable animal to death in Hebron); in
“supernatural rats”, as it was published in July 2008 by the official
Palestinian news agency Wafa to cause panic in East Jerusalem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">“The
Jews have the greatest powers of sorcery, and they make use of this tool”,
claimed Mehdi Taeb, a friend of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the
head of Khamenei’s Ammar Base think tank. Not so bad for “think tank” thinking,
eh?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are sure that the ISIS is the result of a conspiracy of CIA and Mossad,
that Coca-Cola and Pepsi contain pork and alcohol to poison Muslims.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you know the case of natural cataclysms?
Mallam Abass Mahmud, a Muslim cleric in Ghana, explains: “Allah gets
annoyed when males engage in sexual encounters and such disgusting encounter
causes earthquake.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Like
in primitive cultures, there is no hint of self-criticism. India, China,
Asian and Christian countries in Africa forgot
about colonialism, although they experienced plenty of grief and humiliation.
The Middle East was a mandated territory for 20 years only, in the period
between the world wars, but Arabs still blame the West for all their of
miseries. The civilization that was great at some point, has now slipped to
primordial culture, but apparently it is not the lowest point of their
fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In May 2013, the world witnessed
something horrifying: Abu Sakkar, the leader of “Al-Farooq” group (now a part
of “Jabhat al-Nusra”), carved the heart of Assad’s dead soldier out and ate the
human flesh. Comrades supported him yelling “Allah Akbar”. It was not a single
incident. In November 2013, Theodore Shoebat wrote, quoting Arabian news source
Zaman al-Wasal and Orient News Television, that Kuru disease caused by
cannibalism only had been spreading in Syria. According to Michigan State
University, in 2014 only there were
about 8 to 10 cases of Kuru registered in Syria. It was written, “Kuru
re-emerged in the Muslim community recently among Syrian rebels, who reportedly
used to eat the hearts of victims. Two of these rebels were then hospitalized
and transferred to Germany
to be treated for the disease, which signified the emergence of the disease in Syria”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">It’s
a ritual cannibalism, a terrible relic of the primeval world. Oh, what a lovely
cultural diversity!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The involution of
Islam is just one side of the coin. The other one, which is not less
horrifying, is the spiritual degradation of the West that welcomes the
primordial predatory world with cute teddy bears, songs about peace and
flowers. Anti-Utopia has come true.</span></div>

Coming together as a people in the days of the Pharaoh of Egypt, they
faced lifelong slavery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moses leads them
out of Egypt
into the desert, where they wander for forty years and, as Golda Meir said,
“and we found the only place in the desert that didn’t have oil”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along comes Mohammed and, as the word of
Islam, says that all Jews must die.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fast
forward several hundred years and the Jews are being driven from pillar to post
all over Europe until, in 1939, Hitler comes
up with his “final solution”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over less
than a half-dozen years some six million Jews and other non-Aryan peoples are
exterminated like insects…gassed and burned.</div>

Today, anti-Semitism is on the rise again…not that it
ever really disappeared from anywhere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>France’s Jewish
population is getting out as fast as they can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All over Europe the Muslim invasion, and that’s what it is, is preaching
hate and carrying out vicious attacks on all their pre-ordained enemies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their enemies include gays, apostates, the
wrong kind of Muslims and, of course, Christians and Jews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If things go the way they’re going now, Europe will be Eurabia by about 2030…not so many years
from now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

In the United
States, once considered a safe haven for
Jews, that safety is being eroded…slowly but surely and, surprise, surprise…a
lot of that erosion is being done by the Jewish population!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would appear that American Jewish
memories are very short because they seem to have forgotten the centuries of
persecution that ended up with the nearly-complete extinction of the
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being a Jew myself it causes me
great pain to see the well-known, the celebrities, the wealthy, among us that
have not aligned themselves with the cause…that cause being the survival of the
Jewish people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were not scattered around
the world to simply die out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
It is for us, who are alive today, to carry on the
faith, the tradition, the survival.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are a small portion of the world’s population, but we carry on because we have
to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To the people who are
Jews-in-secret, I say that you do yourselves a disservice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are not for, you are against.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not you, who?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not now, when will you stand up and be

Muhammad is thought to be the most popular name in the
world, given to an estimated 150 million men and boys. Statisticians put the
high numbers down to the tradition amongst some Muslim families of naming their
first-born after the Islamic prophet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Does that tell you anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
followers of the Moon God are having babies at 4 and 5 times the rate of
whatever European host country they’re in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s been predicted that by 2030, Sweden,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>maybe France

too, will be Muslim-dominated countries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
There are prominent Jews today who not only seem to
tolerate Islam, but acquiesce to the stealth jihad being played out against
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are even Jews in Israel that say that Israel should not exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To those blinded by the shiny object over in
the corner, I say that it’s a sharpened scimitar and that you should look
around, beyond that…because something wicked this way comes, and it’s coming
faster every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prominent Imams have
said, in no uncertain terms, that they are not in the United States
to be on a level with any other religion(cult), they are here to dominate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other Imams have stated that the one and
only goal of Islam is peace in the world, but their peace is only attainable
when all other religions have been silenced and their followers converted…or
killed.</div>

American Jewry stands at a precipice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Behind them, and gaining rapidly, is the
spectre of Islam, and the barbarians within that cult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ahead, an abyss with only a rope bridge with
which to cross it, and that rope bridge is called “awareness”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you do not become aware, you soon will
find yourselves in the midst of a Muslim invasion from which there can be no
rescue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh yes, some will say this
sounds like the boy crying “wolf”,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but
it’s not a false alarm…ask the Germans, the French, the British, the Swedes,
all probably capitulating to Islam about the same time…and like it or not,
we’re on their radar as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No other
religion, or cult, has it written down that all infidels are to be killed,
converted or made to be </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-size: 13.0pt;">LURCH SPEAKS…AND SCREWS UP
AGAIN!<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">John</span><span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">( Lurch) Kerry, the current Secretary of State and who is vying for the
title of Worst Secretary of State Ever, with Hillary Clinton, made one of his
famously stupid statements…again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">On
Monday the 21<sup>st</sup> of June, speaking at an iftar, which is a meal that
breaks the fast for Muslims, and this time it was also World Refugee Day, he
was heard to utter these idiotic words…”</span> <span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">“bigoted
and hateful rhetoric” about Muslims helps those “who propagate the lie that America is at
war with Islam.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday evening that refugee
applicants who go through the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">rigorous </i></b>screening involved in the U.S. refugee
admission program pose a greater security threat than members of any other
group.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">He
also said <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“There is absolutely no
evidence, my friends, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">zero evidence</i></b>, that refugees who
make it through this arduous process, pose any greater threat to our society
than the members of any other group,” he said. “And it is important for people
to know that.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kerry said blocking any
group on the basis of religion, race or nationality went against Americans
ideals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Preventing any group from
entering the United States
solely because of their race, or because of their nationality, or because of a
religious affiliation is directly contrary to the very ideals on which our
country is based,” he said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">“We believe in individual
rights, not collective guilt. And we believe in judging people based on what
they do, not the circumstances of their birth or their choice of sacred texts,”
Kerry added.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">“We
need to remember,” he continued, “that bigoted and hateful rhetoric towards
Muslims plays right into the hands of the terrorist recruiters who propagate
the lie – it plays into the hands of people who propagate the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">lie </i></b>that
America is at war with Islam, when in fact there is no country on earth where
Muslims enjoy more freedom than in the United States of America.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">In
his comments Kerry did not address the issue, raised by some Republicans and
the subject of proposed legislation, of prioritizing in refugee admissions
minorities that have been specifically targeted by Islamic extremists in the
Syria and Iraq conflicts – and which Kerry himself has determined are the
victims of genocide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As of Monday the
20th, the federal government had admitted 4,464 Syrian refugees so far this
fiscal year, of whom just 17 (0.3 percent) are Christians, 10 (0.2 percent) are
Yazidis, and one each are defined in<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>State Department Refugee Processing Center data as “no religion” and
“other religion.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The vast majority of
the 4,464 – 4,385, or 98.2 percent – are Sunni Muslims. Another 17 are Shi’ite
Muslims and 33 are other Muslims.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">With
regard to Kerry’s comments about the relative threat posed by refugees, State
Department spokesman John Kirby said
last November that of 785,000 refugees from all countries admitted to the U.S.
since 9/11, “only about a dozen have been arrested or removed from the United
States due to terrorism concerns that existed prior to their resettlement in
the United States.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A State Department
factsheet last December said that Syrian refugees admitted to the U.S. since
the beginning of FY2011 had been able to do so “only after the most extensive
level of security screening of any category of traveler to the United States.
None have been arrested or removed on terrorism charges.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">ABC
News reported late last year that two Iraqi refugees resettled in Kentucky were later
found to have al-Qaeda links.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
January, two Iraqi-born Palestinian refugees in the U.S. were indicted on
terror-related charges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Omar Faraj Saeed al-Hardan of Houston,
Texas, was charged with attempting to provide
material support to ISIS, procuring
citizenship or naturalization unlawfully, and making false statements. He was
admitted into the U.S.
as a refugee in 2009.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aws Mohammed
Younis Al-Jayab, of Sacramento, Calif., was accused of traveling to Syria to fight
alongside terrorist groups, and was also charged with lying to the government
about his travels. He arrived in the U.S. as a refugee in 2012.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red;">WHAT’S WHAT…</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span><span style="color: #0d0d0d;">Let’s start off with a definition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve often referred to Islam as a cult, and
have taken flak for doing so, but checking with the dictionary, this is what I
found: </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red;">CULT:</span></i></b><span style="color: red;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">a religion or sect considered to be false,
unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society
under the direction of a charismatic leader.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think of any number of recent
Islamic leaders, or go back to the original, which would be Mohammed
himself…doesn’t the definition fit them like a glove?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course it does.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
Quran, Islam’s Holy Book, was allegedly transcribed by Mohammed as he heard the
words from Allah, the Moon God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since
Allah was perfect, and Mohammed was perfect, then it follows, in a logical
manner that the words in the Quran must be perfect also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The problem, as it pertains to Holy Books,
is that only the Quran, to the best of my knowledge, preaches violence and the
killing of any other person, man, woman or child, who is an infidel…that is
they are not a Muslim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only does it
set it down on paper, but it specifically targets Christians and Jews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lately, the most extreme members of this
cult, calling themselves ISIS, or the Islamic State, have been murdering
combatants and non-combatants alike, and in the most horrible of manners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beheadings, drownings, burning alive, throwing
homosexuals off tall buildings…all fall into the area of permitted or condoned
actions, because it’s in the writings of the Quran.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>True
believers of Islam will tell you that the consumption of alcohol is forbidden,
but when that true believer, in his/her role as martyr, reaches paradise they
can consume all the wine they can without getting drunk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somehow that seems illogical to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another illogical section of the Quran deals
with homosexuals…they are to be killed, period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, when the martyr gets to Paradise he may dally with all the
dancing boys he wishes, and as a matter of fact, even here on earth the men
seem to have a marked proclivity for young boys…and goats…and sheep and,
probably camels too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Quran, and
some modern Imams have stated that NO female human is too young to have sexual
relations with a man…even if that action is forced upon them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Quran seems to have been written as a
sort of handbook of heinousness…which, to me, accounts for the high rate of
conversion in prisons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prisoners, and
it seems a large proportion of the blacks, take to Islam because it allows them
to do, in the name of their new-found “religion”, all the things for which they
were imprisoned.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Utah, which used to be
the home state for Mormon polygamists, must certainly be re-examining their
laws about multiple marriages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Islam
permits a man to have up to four wives, and while that’s contrary to the laws
of the United States,
a true believer will tell you that Islam is above man-made laws, and therefore
he may have those four wives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the
UK, as an example, upwards of 100 thousand Muslims, who do no work, have
multiple wives and each of those wives, along with the husband, draws on the
welfare system of that host country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They may not want to admit it, but England
is going the way of the majority of Europe and
that direction is down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Europe is scheduled to become Eurabia in about 30 or 40
years, based on the changes in population…or demographics.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Demographics,
the statistical data of a population, is showing that Muslims are out-breeding
the native inhabitants of the host countries in which they reside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It doesn’t take a genius to see and
understand that when the Muslim population has reached a majority, no matter
how slight, they will begin to amend laws, and make new ones that favor them,
to the detriment of the natives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even
in our own United States
we are seeing this occur, albeit on a smaller scale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few cities here and there have allowed, or
voted in, Muslims to a position of policy-making.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our federal government is riddled with
Muslims, mostly, if not all, appointed by the current occupant of the White
House.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The top spy at the CIA, John Brennan, is a Muslim, having converted several
years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others are in positions in
different agencies that directly affect the everyday lives of everyday people.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There
are those who will say that America
is a land of immigrants, and they would be correct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The difference being that those legal
immigrants came here with the immigration service knowing a lot about them
before they set foot on American soil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At Ellis Island in New York harbor, they
were questioned, examined, and in some cases, returned or quarantined because
of an illness that had been detected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Today, the tsunami of so-called refugees flooding the country brings
with it diseases which we’ve either never seen or were eradicated decades
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’ve ever seen Godfather Part
2, you had a great visual as to what went on at Ellis Island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This same tidal wave of humanity also brings
with it a bunch of problems because of little or no vetting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We cannot be sure that the illegal immigrant
is not a member of ISIS, but we drop them
willy-nilly into communities that are ill-prepared for them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wake up America, your
country needs you…desperately.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></div>

<i><span style="color: #984806; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">A HISTORY LESSON</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">, we should all
pay heed to and may all want to try to remember. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
Ask any person, not your child between the ages of 18 and 25, if they ever
heard of the Nuremburg Trials. 1 in 13 might say they have, but will not be
able to tell you "what" was on trial (not who). Those
same people will probably not be able to tell you the name of the current Vice
President. 84% of those who receive this will not listen to it
completely, or at all. 10% will but will also choose not to forward it. The
remaining 6% will forward it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> The Islamic war
started in the 7th century and lasted through the 17th century. I would contend
it </span><i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">never</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> stopped, but historically the facts below are
correct. This is why I choke when I hear someone say we will defeat or
contain these Islamic terrorists in a few years or even 30 years as recently
stated by Leon Panetta. If the latest batch of murders, beheadings,
and killing of innocent Christians has shocked you, maybe you should read this
compilation of historical facts about the hatred of Muslims.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">WE, THE STUPID…</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">This is
factually (and historically) correct - and verifiable: In 732 A.D. the
Muslim Army, which was moving on Paris, was defeated and turned back at Tours,
France, by Charles “The Hammer” Martell. In 1571 A.D. the
Muslim Army/Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to
cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe
in the Battle of Lepanto. In 1683 A.D. the Turkish Muslim
Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally
defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish armies. This
has been going on for 1,400 years and half of the politicians don't even know
it. If these battles had not been won, we might be speaking Arabic;
and Christianity could be non-existent. Judaism certainly would not exist.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Reflecting: A lot of Americans have
become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without
any inconvenience to themselves. Pause a moment and reflect back. These events
are actual events from history. They really happened! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Do you remember? 47 years since 1968 and this
just keeps going on and on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> So, ask yourself

with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the Obama's
security detail, 85-year-old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor
winner and former Governor Joe Foss, BUT........leave Muslim Males alone lest
we be guilty of profiling. Ask yourself, "Just how
stupid are we?" Have the American people completely lost their minds or
just their Power of Reason? Let 's send this to as many
people as we can so that the Gloria Allred's and other stupid attorneys, along
with Federal Justices, that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of

<span style="color: red;">ONE SIZE FITS ALL…AND OTHER
FABLES</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
It might be
just my imagination but the world, and in particular the United States, seems
to be drifting to the conclusion that one-size-fits-all…and nothing could be
further from the truth. Let’s look at a few examples of this wrong-headed
thinking, and perhaps the hottest topic in that area is the bathroom and who
uses what. If ever there was a topic where one-size-fits-all
doesn’t work, it’s that one, because if that were true there would be no need
to have separate facilities for males and females.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
There would be just one facility for everybody.
Think of the money that could be saved by building just one restroom at a
sporting event, in schools or at the local shopping mall. Then, you
wouldn’t have to declare that today you “think” or “feel” like you’re the
opposite gender because the one facility would be there to utilize regardless
of your sex. We’ve already heard of males going into female
restrooms, but you will hardly ever hear of a female going into the male
bathroom…they’re just not that interested in us.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Peace…now
there’s a word that conjures up all sorts of things. To dictators it
probably means that they, and they alone, have the final word on everything…and
that’s peaceful for them. Nobody would question anything because they’d
be killed or at the very least, they’d disappear and never be heard from
again. In a democratic society like most of the civilized world, it
mostly means a time when there is no war…at least none in which that particular
country is engaged. For one particular religious cult, Islam, it
can only be achieved when all the world has submitted to it, and until that
takes place, true believers will be at war with “the West”, or civilization as
we know it. Even the United States, in its sometimes misguided
efforts, has tried to bring some sort of democratic government to places where
tribal, religious, or ethnicity differences simply would not allow it to
work. One-size-does-not-fit-all in governments either.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Closer to
home, we have Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act(ACA) which is the official
name. If ever there was a failure of the thinking that one-size-fits-all,
this would be it. To lump large numbers of people into some sort of
health “class” is simply ridiculous. Even in a marriage, which would be
the smallest “group” that one might encounter, there are bound to be
differences in health, and healthcare.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
As it was explained to me, the eventual goal of the
Affordable Care Act, was to have a single-payer, and that would be the
government. If there are healthcare differences between just two
people, can you imagine the differences that might exist between millions of
people? Certain conditions which existed prior to coming into the
ACA are to be covered, others which are contracted after joining the ACA are
not covered. Right there you can see that the one-size concept
cannot work. People, by their very nature, are individuals and even
though large portions of the population may ACT like sheep, they’re not really.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Being retired
from the Navy I’m especially upset about trying to make this distinctive,
sea-going branch of the armed forces look like the ground-based
ones. The Coast Guard as well as the Navy are wearing camouflage
which is, in my not-so-humble opinion, stupid. There is no place aboard
ship where camouflage is going to blend in, which is the basic reason for
wearing it in the first place. If based ashore, there are other uniforms
for work and dress. Personally I favor the old dungarees and chambray
shirts with either white or blue “dixie cup” hats. It takes more than a
shoulder patch, or a pin on the chest to differentiate one service from another
and to say that they are all the same is doing a great disservice to each of
our armed services. Down to police departments in different cities, the
uniforms are different, so why try to make it one-size-fits-all in our
military?</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
In the
upcoming presidential election we definitely have a choice. If there is
ever a place where the concept of being different from anyone else is
important, it’s here. Whichever person wins out, and I hope it’s
the person I prefer, the government is going to take a turn in its
direction. The Republicans started out with seventeen candidates
and now have one. The Democrats started out with four and are down
to two, but there are those that will say it’s really only one.
Let’s suppose that we only had a one party system, and that could probably only
occur if we had a dictator, albeit a benign one. That one party
could decree that anything it said would become the law of the land, regardless
of whether it was good or bad. Wow! Talk about one-size-fits-all
being a failure, that is a prime example. No matter who the dictator is
or was, sooner or later the people rise up and change the leaders, if not the
entire form of government. A prime example of this is the American
Revolution, and following close on its heels, the French Revolution.
One-size-fits-all indeed! Not here, not now, not ever.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Wake up
America, your country needs you…desperately.</div>

<i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">3 COMPANIONS…</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Companion. The word conjures up all sorts of
pictures, doesn’t it? A man can have a woman as a companion, with
or without the benefit of being married…and the same goes for a woman. In
these times such partnerships, even a companion of the same gender, is not
unusual. Room-mates in college, or in the business world, sharing
expenses and experiences. That is not to say that I either approve or
disapprove of same-sex partners, it’s just a fact of modern day life, that’s
all. In my Navy career there were many such companions, buddies we
called them, and we were thrown together because of the work we did, or the
places we went. Many life-long friendships have come out of my Navy
years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
There is the relationship of a man, or woman, to a dog…and these companions
are, for many, the only true friends they may ever know. Nothing that I
can think of is more relaxing than sitting in your favorite chair with your dog
beside you, or in your lap. You give a dog, as an example, the time you
can spare, the love you can spare and, now and then, the food you can
spare. In return he gives you everything…companionship and love…perhaps
the truest love there is because it’s given freely with no thought of anything
but pleasing you. I have had many dogs in my lifetime, and notice I
didn’t say I owned them because you don’t own a dog…you and it are a living
partnership and when one dies it is no less a heartbreak than if one of my
children had died…they are that much a part of me. The one wish that
I might have in the case of my dogs is that they lived longer than they did.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
Some people think of horses as good companions, but although I like to look at
them, they don’t strike me as a companion…unless of course I’m a cowboy riding
the range. In that instance, a horse is not just a companion, it’s an
absolute necessity and if you find yourself out in the wilderness, you’d better
take really good care of that four-legged baggage carrier…it might be many
miles to the next watering hole or town. We had what we called a
“lookin’ horse” once. Nobody rode her, she was just to look at and
looking at her made you feel good. Mariah was her name and she was pretty
gentle but we were not riders. She would come to the back fence in the
morning and my wife would bring a tray on which were two large mugs of coffee
and two sweet rolls, and they would share a morning treat. She had three
acres of area in which to roam and every once in a while we could see her
rolling in the pasture.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
On these three acres we had chickens, ducks and geese…as well as the horse and
a very nasty goat. Our original two geese were bought as babies, so my
wife became their mother and they would follow her everywhere, and that
included into the house. Eventually the male became the dominant bird of
the place and we called him The Boss. His attitude clearly indicated that
we were trespassers on his land and he would make mock attacks toward us to
frighten us away…but we had learned how to grab him by the neck and hold him
still until he decided to allow us to go into the backyard and gather whatever
eggs we could find. With a mixed flock of fowl we often had eggs of
different sizes and the goose eggs were the best. One egg was a
meal! As time went on we lost a bird now and then to something…we never
found out what, but we suspected it might have been a fox, as one had been seen
in the neighborhood. Eventually we lost them all. I wish we could
have lost the goat!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
We got the goat because we thought we’d milk her and possibly make cheese out
of the milk, but she turned out to be pregnant and when she had the kid she
turned even nastier than ever. The kid was born dead, unfortunately, and
we had to lure the goat away from the body so we could bury it. You
didn’t want to turn your back on this goat because she would butt you and with
enough force to knock you down. One experience with her was enough and we
learned to leave her alone. As it turned out, one of our friends said
they wanted a goat so we got rid of her. It was not a sad parting, I can
tell you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
So you see, as was said in the beginning, there are all sorts of companions,
just as there are all sorts of people. There are people with whom you
want to, and do, spend your life, and there are others that have an effect as
they pass through your life ever so briefly. A companion, human or
animal, seems to make life more bearable and, sometimes, more enjoyable to the
point where, like me, a trip down memory lane makes me happy. If
you don’t have a companion, get one…of some sort, because you’ll find that life
is that much better with one.</span></div>

<i><span style="color: green; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">A TRIO OF RANDOM THOUGHTS…</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
The madness that is the state government in California has once again been made known to
the residents of that state. On Tuesday, May 10<sup>th</sup> of
this year, the California Assembly passed a bill Monday that would </span><i><span style="color: red; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">require</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> all single-use restrooms in business, public and
government establishments to become gender-neutral. AB 1732
requires all single-use restrooms in the establishments to be identified as
"all-gender toilet facilities." A looney-tune member of
the legislature, one Philip Ting, had this to say about the bill, "California continues to
move forward, be forward thinking - think about how we can be more inclusive
and frankly, more tolerant. My hope is that we de-politicize the bathroom
issue.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
If the bill became law, it would give the state the power to decide how
individual business owners and public entities should best serve their
customers. The gender inclusive restroom bill would inconvenience
far more people than gender specific restrooms did. Women,specifically
would be inconvenienced. Not many women would want to use a
bathroom that had been used by men. There are other, unintended
consequences to this bill, if it becomes law.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
As I understand it, a person just has to believe, or “feel” that they are of a
different gender that day and they can use the bathroom of the other
gender. Let’s carry this a step or two further. How about boys
showering with the girls in high school or college? Can a woman
play on a man’s sports team simply because she feels like it that
day? In my not-so-humble opinion, this whole transgender thing is
nothing but trouble and the only ones that are going to profit in any way from
it, will be trial lawyers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
The number of so-called “refugees” in Europe
makes the Police shake their heads. It was reported back in April
that Police have uncovered a large and growing network of Islamic State
fighters, at least two of whom came to Europe
as “refugees.” French and Belgian authorities have found that the
scale of the threat of terrorism could be much bigger than they had previously
thought. They’ve found that the members of these terror cells are mostly young
Muslim men from the Brussels suburbs of
Molenbeek and Schaerbeek
and many were former criminals often involved with petty thefts and
assaults. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Many of the attackers in Paris committed suicide
and blew themselves up. One fled the scene of his crime and hid away with his
cousin. He was killed in a police raid five days following the
attack. After the attacks police had a major question: How large
was the network that participated in the attacks and were there more sleeper
cells in Europe waiting to strike?
Many of these men are currently being sought by police, but unfortunately
police often have no idea if they are in Europe or in Syria.
Their names, which cannot be verified, are assumed to be aliases as authorities
are currently unsure of their true identities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">This next piece came to me from one of
my readers and he asked me to pass it on, and I am. My Grandfather
watched as his friends died in WWI. My Father watched as his
friends died in WWII and Korea.
I watched (1st hand) as my friends fought and died in Vietnam.
I watched as our friends and children fought and died in Desert
Storm. I watched and waited while our friends and children fought
and died in Iraq.
None of them fought for or died for the Mexican Flag or any other foreign
flag…Everyone fought for and died for the U.S. Flag! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
In Texas, a
student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it
down. Guess who was expelled. The kid who took it down.
Kids in high school in California
were sent home on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the
American flag printed on them. Enough is
enough.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">This message needs to be read by every
American… and every American needs to stand up for America. We've bent
over to appease the America-haters long enough. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">I'm taking a stand. I'm
standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars
for this country, and for the U.S. Flag, can't stand up. And shame on anyone
who tries to make this a racist
message.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Let me make this perfectly
clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY! And, my making this
statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration! YOU ARE WELCOME
HERE IN OUR COUNTRY. Welcome! To come through legally: 1. Get
a sponsor! 2. Get a place to lay your head! 3.
Get a job! 4. Live By OUR Rules! 5. Pay YOUR
Taxes! 6. Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants have in the
past! 7. Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime
Savings of Social Security Funds to you. If you don't want to
forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE
PROBLEM! When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR
RIGHTS? We've gone so far the other way...we’ve bent over backwards
not to offend anyone...But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN CITIZEN
being offended! Wake up America, your country needs
you…desperately.</span></div>

<i><span style="color: red; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">WORLD WAR 3…IT’S HERE.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">
Regardless of which side of the political aisle you are on, you have to realize
that we ARE at war…with Islam. Oh wait…it’s only the radical element of
that cult that’s at war with us, right? WRONG! Islam, to the
true believer, does not negotiate…about anything. It’s their way or the
highway, and when it’s their way it will be littered with headless bodies,
charred remains and mutilated corpses. This CULT, and that’s what it is,
may be ruled by a few thousand die-hard fanatics, but that fanaticism reaches
out to whatever “moderate” Muslims there might be and scares the you-know-what
out of them so they cower and don’t say anything to anyone. To be
sure, there’s some Muslims that do speak out, but they are few and far between
and a lot of them may be apostates-in-secret as well. If you’ll
allow me this comparison, think back to World War 2, if you’re old enough to
know it as anything but ancient history. You DO know about that war,
don’t you? I digress.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> In
WW2, we were fighting Germany.
We did not separate the “good Germans” from the “bad Germans”…they were all bad
to us. What we knew back then was that the nation of Germany
was at war with us and we with them. It was a shooting war, it was
a bombing war and, on their side, it was an outright murder war.
Sometimes when they captured Allied personnel they were not sent to any
work/concentration camp, they were shot right where they were captured.
Our prisoners, on the other hand, some of them, came to camps in the United States
and once the war was over, decided to stay, got married and became American
citizens. The point here is that Islam is like the Nazis, and as a matter
of fact the two collaborated during that war. There is a pretty famous
saying about history…it says if you don’t pay attention to it, you’re going to
repeat it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> In
the years between the two World Wars one might have gotten the idea that all
was right in the world…but it wasn’t. There were little skirmishes
going on here and there…more so than the two shots fired at Archduke Ferdinand
and his wife, killing them both, that started World War 1. In the United States
during the period of peace between the two World Wars we relaxed and felt so
good about ourselves that we drew down our military strength
drastically. Although we were sending materiel to our allies
overseas prior to our entering the war in 1941, we apparently didn’t see the
need to bring our own armed forces up to a wartime strength. Our
Army trained with broomsticks for rifles, they used automobiles as substitutes
for tanks and much of the other gear, including ammunition, was left over from
the first World War. The Navy was sailing on some ships that were built
prior to WW1. There was an Army Air Corps, which was considered only good
for patrol and reconnaissance, and a Marine Corps which was primarily for show
at our overseas embassies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> In
short…we were not well-prepared for war when it came to us. We are
not now well-prepared for war, which is already here, whether you deny that or
not. Islam has but one goal and that is “peace” throughout the world…but
that “peace” can ONLY</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">be achieved when the entire world is under the thumb of
Islam. In case you’ve forgotten, or never knew, Islam means submission
and Muslim is one that has submitted, and a cult, according to the dictionary
is “a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with
members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a
charismatic leader.” Could it be any clearer than that?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Islam has been at war, truly, for 1400 years, and down
through those years has had various clashes with “Western”
civilization. Sometimes they won and sometimes they
lost. In places where Islam has been, all previous forms of worship
are destroyed because it is the theory that, before Islam, nothing good
existed. Even today, tombs, artifacts, anything of historical value to
some other group, is being destroyed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> So,
here we are in the 21st Century and trying to get along with fanatics that are
locked into the 7th Century. Are they compatible? No, they’re
not…and not because we in the 21st Century wouldn’t accept them, but because
those barbarians from the 7th Century won’t accept us. It’s rather
one-sided when you get to thinking about it, isn’t it? We cannot,
however, go out and have mass executions as they do…that’s simply not the
“Western” way. The concept of “turn the other cheek” is not going
to work with these people either…when you turn your head they’re going to try
to cut it off…that’s what they do. We cannot also round them up and put
them in concentration camps while we sort out who’s who…but that might turn out
to be the last resort. People more brilliant than I am are working on
this problem and it will be interesting to see the plan when it’s
proposed. In the meantime, wake up America, your country needs
you…desperately.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
How far does one have to stretch
their imagination to determine that Hillary Clinton didn’t break any laws?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unless you are brain-dead or have a very
narrow field of vision you cannot help but hear about all the things that she
has done…and the things she didn’t do, on the way to garnering the power(which
is what she’s after) that is the Presidency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Let’s take a cheap shot here and use the meme</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Hillary lied and people died”, which is not just true, it’s
ghastly to think about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Mrs.
Clinton it’s possible to go way back and see a pattern of deceit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s just been one thing after another,
usually with only certain people to be affected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, with the admission of the hacker, it
could very well be the safety and security of the entire United States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my not-so-humble opinion she ranks right
up there with Benedict Arnold and Tokyo Rose, no slouches when it comes to
betrayals.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now and
then one of my readers/viewers will ask what would my plan be on a certain
situation, and there’s always my stock answer: I have a plan but you may not
like what you hear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A good example is
our Southern border.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have thousands
of veterans that would be excellent border guards, if we put my solution into
the mix.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Generally speaking the weather
along our Southern border is mild, so a tent or small shack would suffice for
“quarters” stationed about every 100 yards…just the length of a football field
if you need a reference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The veterans
could be “deputized” by the local sheriffs and would stand eight-hour
watches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Radio communications over that
short a distance would be no problem and if worse came to worse, use semaphore
or flags.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The deputies would have the
authority to capture and detain illegal aliens and turn them over to the
Federal Border Patrol which, it’s hoped, would not be using the
catch-and-release system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Weapons could
be their own personal weapons, or something issued by the local law.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Still on
the subject of veterans I have a solution for that problem as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In EVERY VA facility there should be a
six-foot poster that says the veteran has the option of a CHOICE card, and with
that card he or she can use an outside medical facility…no questions
asked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The limitations would be pretty
much what they are now, and I believe that it only disallows things like
cosmetic surgery(unless it was a wartime injury).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It should cover things like dentures, but not
cleaning because if you cannot chew your food it’s a problem, but you can clean
your teeth as millions do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would
have to be hashed out, as my solution is a basic one and I’m certainly not a
doctor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The present situation with the
VA must be changed, soon and for the better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Don’t put political hacks or donors in positions of policy…try to get
people that are either in the field now or have SOME experience in the field.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Veterans, by and large, are well-disciplined
and while most of them will never speak of their wartime experiences, you can
bet your bottom dollar they don’t need a “safe place” because somebody wrote
something in chalk on a sidewalk.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What’s
the best way to keep the United
States alive and well?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s an easy one to answer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You present a military to the world that is
so strong that no one would dare to take us on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That might mean a return of the draft and if
that is what is needed, so be it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now
let’s understand something right here…everyone, male and female, would be
eligible for the draft unless they are mentally or physically incapable of
performing certain duties…but, they might be able to do other duties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Example, a person in a wheelchair is not
going to be able to go on marches, but they could do things that only require
sitting at a desk, at a computer or planning meals…you get the idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That business of fleeing to Canada?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s going to be a no-no and we’d work with
the Canadian government to have them returned and put into jail…or join
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along with a strong armed forces
we’d have to straighten out the mess that is the InFernal Revenue Service(and
that’s “service” like what a bull does to a cow).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The manual or code or laws, whatever it is
that the IRS calls it is so full of holes and dispensations for this, that, and
the other that it is completely unworkable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is something called the Fair Tax that I urge you to look
into.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The name tells you just about all
you need to know about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nobody
escapes it, you take home your entire paycheck with no deductions and April 15<sup>th</sup>
becomes just another Spring day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Hey…I
could go on and on because there’s so much that needs to be done if the United States
is to return to being the shining city on the hill…instead of the shanty that
it has become.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wake up America, your
country needs you…desperately.</div>

<i><span style="color: #984806; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">PANCHO VILLA AND OTHER NUISANCES…
</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">It was a typical New Mexico morning, on March 9, 1916.
The small town of Columbus
awoke and people were starting to go about their daily routines…but this was
not going to be a routine day. The American President, Woodrow had
been lending support to Venustiano Carranza, the opposition leader to
Victoriano Huerta whose administration Wilson
had described as a “government of butchers”. Unfortunately,
Carranza proved to be no better than Huerta. Wilson then turned to a rebel leader, a man
named Pancho Villa. Villa was an adopted name. The real name
of this bandit leader was Francisco (Pancho) Villa born José Doroteo Arango
Arámbula, born in Durango Mexico on June 5<sup>th</sup>,
1878, he was from the peasant, or peon, class…but he had ambition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> It
was that ambition that drove him to team up with another ambitious rebel
leader, Emiliano Zapata. They wanted to keep the rebellion going, but it
was going to take money, power, and guns. Somewhere along the
time-line President Wilson got to thinking that Carranza was on the right track
and that he, Wilson,
no longer needed Pancho Villa…and he dropped his support. This withdrawal
of support for Villa so aggravated Villa that he declared war on the United States.
And that brings us to what Villa did. Pancho Villa stopped a train in Mexico, but
which had 18 Americans on it. He </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">took them off the train and killed them all. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> A
few weeks later, on March 9, in 1916, Villa led an army of about 1,500
guerillas across the border to stage a brutal raid against the small American
town of Columbus, New Mexico. Villa and his men killed 19
people and left the town in flames. Woodrow Wilson called on the US
Army, under General John “Blackjack”
Pershing, to lead 6,000 troopers into Mexico to capture and/or kill the
bandit, Pancho Villa. For two years, Pershing pursued Villa, on
horseback, in automobiles and even the new-fangled airplanes…but he never
caught him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> By
this time Carranza had lost patience with the American Army in his country and
ordered them out. Pershing went on to become the leader of the American
Expeditionary Force(AEF) in World War One. Although he never actually
caught Villa, he did convince him never to attack the United States
again. Pancho Villa retired from banditry and was eventually assassinated
in 1923 while on his way to become the Godfather to a friend’s child. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> Fast
forward now to the present. We no longer send expeditionary forces in to
wipe out foreign leaders. We have special operations teams to try to do
the work without actually harming anyone…other than the intended target, that
is. Who might some of these nuisances be? There was Osama Bin
Laden, and we got him. There was Moammar Quaddafi, but his own people got
him. There was Saddam Hussein, and he was hanged by his own
people. Still around is the North Korean Kim Jung Un, the little
fat boy dictator, several people connected with ISIS,
whose names I cannot pronounce, and if we had something other than a spineless
twit in the White House we could get rid of them also.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> It
just seems to me that when duty called we had men and women to answer that
call. These were young men and women stepping up and putting their
civilian lives on hold while putting their lives on the line in combat.
Today’s armed forces are being hamstrung by ridiculous rules of engagement
which actually give the enemy the advantage. What good is superior
technology if you cannot use it first. What good is technology if the troopers
don’t understand how to use it, or it’s too bulky to move around
easily? We hear of sorties into areas controlled by ISIS and the bombing of a truck or a building…surgical
strikes they call them. Some of these sorties come back without firing a
missile or dropping a bomb. Maybe </span><i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">we</span></i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> are just a
nuisance factor to ISIS.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
While on the subject of nuisances, what about our borders? Are we to
continue to have such porous borders that we no longer resemble a sovereign
nation? If you look at the areas now controlled by ISIS
the borders of those countries seem to have melted away and in their places is
something called the Islamic State. The lesson is very clear, at least to
me…if you have no borders, at least none to speak of, you cannot be considered
as a sovereign nation. You become simply a territory of some name or
another without real meaning and, sometimes, without a real government. A
good example of this, aside from ISIS is Somalia. Although they have
borders of a sort, bandits and pirates operate inside and outside those borders
as if they didn’t exist. There hasn’t been a true, working, government in
Somalia
for several years now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
Nuisances exist in many forms, not the least of which is government
itself. Our country was formed with the idea that government people were
elected for a term or two and then they went home and continued on with their
lives. Serving in Congress was never meant to be a career, and those
making it so seem to have created an elite class completely disconnected from
their constituents. Wake up America, your country needs
you…desperately.</span></div>

Who was George S. Patton? If there is such a thing as a born
soldier, General Patton was one. He was regarded as one of the most
successful military commanders of World War 2. He came from a military
family, having had relatives fighting for the colonies in the American
Revolutionary War, the War Between the States, and the Mexican war when he
served under General Blackjack Pershing trying to capture the bandit Pancho
Villa. Following success at the Virginia
Military Academy
he went to West Point and graduated as a 2<sup>nd</sup>
Lt. in 1909. While serving under Pershing he impressed the senior
officer to the point where he was promoted to Captain. When World
War 1 started tanks were in their infancy, but Patton recognized their worth
early on and became an outspoken advocate for their usage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">In World War 2 Patton became one of the first officers of
the Armored Force and continued on with his knowledge of warfare, strategy and
in particular, tanks. He was, by all accounts, a gruff commander both
loved and feared by his troops as well as the enemy. Patton wanted
to continue his streaking across Europe right into Berlin, but was stopped from doing so…some
say it was a political move. In any event, when a professional soldier
was needed, George Smith Patton answered the call.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
The American Revolutionary War produced many great heroes, not the least of
which was General Anthony Wayne, nicknamed Mad Anthony. At the time
the war broke out he was a member of Congress in the United States House of
Representatives. Wayne adopted a military career at the outset of the American
Revolutionary War, where his military exploits and fiery personality quickly
earned him promotion to brigadier general and the name Mad Anthony. He later
served as General in Chief of the Army and commanded the Legion of the United States.
He never finished college although he was in the graduating class…instead he
became a land surveyor in Nova Scotia and
eventually returned to Pennsylvania,
married and served in that state’s legislature. During the American
Revolution he actually served under Benedict Arnold during an unsuccessful
invasion of Canada.
Wayne was in the battles of Germantown,
Brandywine and Monmouth, among others.
His leadership at the battle of Stony Point was the high point of his career and he was given a
medal by the Continental Congress for that action.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">Wayne</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> used a
strategy of bayonets-only in skirmishes which served him well and probably
helped establish the nickname of Mad Anthony.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
The 33<sup>rd</sup> President of the United States was a Captain in
World War 1. In the last months of World War I, he served in combat in France as an
artillery officer with his National Guard unit. He owned a haberdashery
business in Kansas City, Missouri, got interested in politics and
became a United States Senator in 1934. He gained national
prominence as chairman of a committee, formed in March 1941, which exposed
waste, fraud, and corruption in Federal Government wartime contracts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">He helped set up the United Nations and was already the
President when Germany
surrendered on his birthday. Even though the war in Europe was ending, there was plenty going on in the
Pacific. At some point, as the our military forces island-hopped closer
and closer to the Japanese mainland it was determined that an invasion of the
homeland might produce losses of up to a million American
servicemen. He was instrumental in developing the Marshall Plan
which was to rebuild the conquered Europe.
It never occurred to him to take over conquered countries, but to help them
come back from the war. He was also instrumental in the formation of NATO
and oversaw the Berlin Airlift. Probably most people remember him, if
they recognize him at all, for his famous firing of General McArthur and the
dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan.
He was the plain-speaking man from Independence,
Missouri, Harry S. Truman.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
Alvin Cullum York…also known as Sergeant York was a hero of World War 1.
He came from a poor family in Tennessee,
being raised in a two room log cabin, much like Abraham Lincoln. Alvin only got a partial
formal education, being necessary to help raise the crops on the family farm
and hunt for food as well. He went to Harriman, Tennessee
and worked in construction and then went into logging.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">York</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> was what used
to be called a battler and was known to have participated in several barroom
brawls. Although he wasn’t exactly what became known as a
conscientious objector at the time, his mother had instilled some sense of the
value of life into her son. He was drafted into the army in
November 1917 even while his status was being determined. He told
the draft board that he was worried clean through. He didn't want to go and
kill. He believed in his Bible, where it said thou shalt not kill.
There is some dispute as to whether or not he kept a diary during the war, in
which he might have written his objections. During one engagement
with the Germans, York and seven men managed to capture 132 enemy soldiers, and
for that he was awarded the Medal of Honor. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
In every time of need America
has had men and women of valor, who stepped forward and did what had to be
done.</span></div>

</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">This week, which begins with the 6<sup>th</sup> of June,
was a momentous one 72 years ago. Those of us of a certain age remember
crowding around the radio, listening to the overseas reporters telling about
the landings in Normandy
and other places on the French coast. It was the beginning of the end for
the Third Reich…but they didn’t know that, or if any of them did, they didn’t
acknowledge it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
The Third Reich which was coined in 1923 by Arthur Moeller Van Den Bruck.
The author used the term to bridge the Holy Roman Empire and the later German
Empire to the revitalized Germany
he envisioned (or advocated for) as emerging from the ruins brought on by the Weimar Republic,
WWI and the Treaty of Versailles. Under Adolph Hitler it became something
entirely different and was supposed to last a thousand years. It lasted
less than a decade.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
The troops that landed ashore on D-Day had trained for this for weeks, maybe
even months, but even so they were not prepared for the withering fire raining
down on them from the cliffs above. The troops were expected to scale
cliffs that were practically straight up and down, using ladders, hooks thrown
up and over, which they hoped would secure themselves and allow a soldier to climb
up. The Germans not only fired straight down, they would push the ladders
off the cliffside and undo the hooks that had gotten hold of something.
From all that I’ve read and seen of actual coverage, it was a soldier’s worst
nightmare.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
Nightmare or not, they came ashore, many being dropped off in water that was
deeper than expected, and many drowned because of the weight of the equipment
they were carrying. There were land mines, barbed wire and many other
impediments for the soldiers to get past, only to begin that perilous climb to
the top. The first 20 minutes or so of the film “Saving Private
Ryan” are so true-to-life that many veterans got up and walked out because they
couldn’t stand the carnage portrayed on the screen…and they knew it was true.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
Literally thousands of troops poured ashore, carried to France by the
largest armada the world has ever seen. Ships as far as the eye could
see, in the bays, out into the Mediterranean Sea,
brought the Allied armies to Fortress Europe with the ultimate goal of crushing
the German power…a power that had almost ruled the world. Many brave
members of all the services, men and women, even civilians who risked their own
lives as the underground resistance in the various countries, aided in this
massive effort.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
Now, here we are again…a few days past Memorial Day. We remembered all
those who served and who are still serving…and how are we paying honor and
tribute to these men and women who rushed to the sound of the guns…many knowing
for certain they would never return to their loved ones. We celebrate,
and that’s really the wrong word, but we celebrate this day and other patriotic
events with a sale on linens, groceries, automobiles and televisions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
That irks me, it really does. If you have the ability to visit a National Cemetery, go. Read the
headstones. A large majority of the honored dead lying at rest will be in
their 20’s…some will still be in their late teens. Now and then you’ll
find one of us old codgers there…and we were the lucky ones…we made it back,
but we’re not the heroes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">No, the heroes are resting now, having made the
supreme sacrifice at some distant location, for men and women that they may
have hardly known, if at all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
This week, and every week for that matter, take a moment and thank whoever you
want to thank, for the freedoms that you have, and remember the price paid for
those freedoms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15.0pt; font-weight: normal;">
Wake up America,
your country needs you…desperately.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">In
my surfing the various television channels I noticed some really weird program
titles, not the least of which was “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Am I missing some really important thing
about this bunch of no-talent, big-butt people?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have so many other, important things going on in, and about, this
country that we really shouldn’t be worried about a group like that…should
we?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are easily half-a-dozen
channels devoted entirely to sports, and several of them are for one sport
only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, in the midst of a pretty
bad economic, moral, military and political crisis, is all that emphasis on
sports really necessary?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ok, call me an
oddball(as many have) but I grew up reading books about this country, about
heroes of this and other countries, thrilling stories of adventure, many of
them fiction, but interesting enough to make a great impression on me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer,
the Call Of The Wild, and Treasure Island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does anyone read books these days?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knows of the mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu,
the Invisible Man, Allan Quartermain or Count Dracula?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Books are the magic carpet for the
imagination…taking you places and meeting people you might never otherwise know
about.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">Ever
hear of Oriental, North Carolina?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Me either, but they’re on the map now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The city of Oriental has hired a Gender Compliance
Officer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oriental’s public bathroom
opened to great acclaim in December 2015.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, the Town was forced to quickly shutter the facility when the NC
legislature passed HB2 on March 26. NC Law HB2 mandates that “users of public
restrooms use bathrooms corresponding to the gender on their birth
certificate.” Without a way to check birth certificates, bathroom use had to be
shut down, or the town was vulnerable to a stiff $10,000 daily Gender
Non-Compliance fine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here comes the GCO
to save the day…a genuine pecker checker, which leads to a whole bunch of
questions: So.... how exactly does a “gender compliance officer” do their job?
Do you have to show them your fancy to be allowed into the bathroom?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who will pay the Pecker Checker?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How much money will a Pecker Checker
make?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do we pay a Pecker Checker by the
pecker?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How many peckers can a Pecker
Checker check if a Pecker Checker can check peckers?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, If things get out of hand, so to
speak, we can hire PC Restroom Services!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their motto? If you gotta pee, we gotta see!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">If
you haven’t noticed lately, the guy in the White House is looking more and more
like a king and less and less like a president.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the Founding Fathers drafted the United
States Constitution and the Bill of
Rights, they knew what they wanted, but <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">more</i></b> important, they knew what they <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">didn’t</i></b>
want, and that was a king!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soldiers may
not just barge into your house and take it over…you can thank the Founding
Fathers for that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Private citizens have
the right to be armed, and secure in their homes, and you can thank them for
that also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Things that didn’t exist
back then are routinely brought up in Congress, because they make the law, and
the Supreme Court interprets the law…but wait…wasn’t Obamacare passed without
Congressional approval?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Didn’t we go to
war under President Bush, without the approval of Congress?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through various executive orders Obama has
drawn to himself many powers that are only applicable in time of national
emergencies…and he gets to decide when and what constitutes a national
emergency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That certainly sounds like a
king…or a dictator to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wouldn’t
surprise me a bit if he just up and declared martial law, because he can,
suspended the United States Constitution, dismissed Congress and declared
himself President-for-life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;">That’s the sort of power we,
the sheep, have allowed him to gather unto himself because he was elected twice
through what I believe was massive voter fraud.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>While on the subject of elections, what about the
Electoral College?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I understand it,
the college was set up so that designated people could go to Washington with the “approval” of their
state’s constituents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the time it was
set up, communication was slow and counting a popular vote might have, and
sometimes did, take weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our elections
are in November, but the actual swearing-in is in January for the very reason
that it sometimes took that long for everything to be settled as to who had won
the White House.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, with seemingly
instant results flashed across television screens from coast to coast, is the
Electoral College a dinosaur?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should we
now go to a strictly popular vote?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Personally, I like the latter, but I’m not a political genius and I try
to look at both sides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would the
popular vote be swayed by the people in the big cities, and the smaller towns
be penalized?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No matter how this
election turns out, there will have to be some significant changes made…not
just in the election process, but in the governmental processes also.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wake up America,
your country needs you…desperately.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-size: 13.0pt;">THE NERVE OF SOME PEOPLE!</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Recently, the head honcho of the
InFernal Revenue Service(and that’s “service” like what a bull does to a cow) IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen basically said that the answer-to-no-one agency that
he oversees completely ignores the fact that illegal aliens are stealing Social
Security numbers. Because the FBI also ignored the issue, it is simply
encouraging more lawlessness by those who have already broken the law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We know, or it’s alleged, that another member
of the current administration, one Barack Hussein Obama, used Social Security
number 042-68-4425 and which was issued by Connecticut, though he never lived in the
state. In fact, that number was actually issued to one Harry Bounel, who was
born in 1890!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Social Security
Administration(SSA) will tell you that they never duplicate numbers, so how is
this possible?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Koskinen, no stranger
to committee hearings, has said that the agency is more responsive to
taxpayers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, really?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I seriously doubt that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>For those of us on Social Security,
and I’m one…there was no Cost Of Living Allowance or COLA in 2016.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2014 we got 1.5% and in 2015 we got
1.7%...hardly enough to cover the rising costs of the stuff we purchase to live
on, or with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The current occupant of
the White House has made numerous vacation trips on the taxpayer’s dime, as has
his family, and several on separate occasions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He has asked for a raise in pay for himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Former Presidents Act, enacted in 1958,
provides living former presidents with a pension, office staff and support,
funds for travel, Secret Service protection, and mailing privileges. It also
provides benefits for presidential spouses. Currently, former presidents are
awarded a pension equal to the salary of cabinet secretaries, which totaled
$203,700 for the 2015 calendar year and was boosted by $2,000 for the current
calendar year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To this lavish benefit
package, he wants a raise in pay for himself of 18%!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What gall!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Back in 2013, when Lois Lerner
officially retired, scot-free from any punishment, she also got a nice golden
parachute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She collected her salary
during the hearings, at which she said nothing, and that salary was 177
thousand a year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, upon her
retirement, the National Taxpayers Union calculations show that Lerner could
qualify for a starting pension at the annual equivalent of as much as $102,600
a year!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not too shabby for a person that
got no punishment for underhanded, dirty dealings, eh?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If any of us ordinary citizens did half of
what she was accused of doing, they’d put us UNDER the jail and forget about us
for the rest of our lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems to
me that, in this current administration, the bad guys and gals get to go off
into the sunset and live lives of happiness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Certainly most of us could be very happy on 100 or more thousand a year,
don’t you think?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 13.0pt;">Regarding Obama's budget cuts, here’s an <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">excerpt</i></b> from American Action
News staff on April 15, 2016… “Marine Corps Aviation has been severely
suffering from budget cuts, and meeting deployment demands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Out of 276 F/A-18 Hornet strike fighters in
the Marine Corps inventory, only about 30% are ready to fly, according to statistics
provided by the Corps. Similarly, only 42 of 147 heavy-lift CH-53E Super
Stallion helicopters are airworthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Attrition is common in the military, where parts break regularly due to
wear and tear, but these levels are unprecedently low, compromising national
security. This is not the first time that attrition levels have been so high as
to cause operational issues. Just last year, the US Navy was unable to sustain
an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf for 2
months, relying on the French Aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle for air
support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Time will tell if Obama's budget cuts will
lead to the demise of Marine aviation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Marines have resorted to cannibalize current aircrafts to fix damaged
ones. Marines have been operating the aging F/A-18 Hornet for several decades
now, waiting for the F-35 to be operational. Obama's budget cuts have delayed
upkeep of current aircrafts and procurement of new ones, putting our men and
women in uniform at risk.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
simply not acceptable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 13.0pt;">By a law enacted in 1989, Congress obtains an annual automatic
pay adjustment, which simply means that they don’t have to vote for it…and
certainly very few have ever voted against a pay raise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The public, therefore, is probably not aware
that they have this nice thing going for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In 1992 passage of the 27th Constitutional Amendment, which required
that any pay adjustment Congress votes for itself, would not take effect until
after the next election, which may explain why so many of them aggressively
seek re-election.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Members of Congress
have rather nice benefits also, such as free parking at Washington’s airports, preferential
treatment for airline seating, private dining rooms, an on-site complete
gymnasium, up to 239 days off and that means that it’s possible they could only
work 28% of the year, healthcare subsidies, and a better retirement program
than most of us could ever afford.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 13.0pt;">So, there you have it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The colossal nerve of these people is almost beyond description.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wake up America, your country needs you…desperately!</span></div>
