When the president loses ”I get a thrill up my leg” Chris Matthews, then the writing is on the wall: this president is toast. I sometimes Lefty lurk on MSNBC to hear what the latest nonsense they are spewing and just happened to watch the 7:00-8:00am hour today. I’m glad I have a DVR because I was so shocked at some of the statements, I had | Read More »
Preface: I wrote this last Friday and intended to publish it on Monday after a bit of tweaking over the weekend. Yet the scandals kept coming so I kept revising it. Of course tomorrow is another day that God willing, will shine a bright light on this administration. Today’s headlines are very telling and should compel every American to ask: What the hay is going on with my country and | Read More »
Well now we know. The Sunday shows made it crystal clear that national security is mostly based upon Party affiliation and protection of the president by the Left but then again, what’s new in our twisted political world. It’s hinged upon gun control per a leading Democrat, Sen. Durbin. He said: ” background checks will make us a safer nation”, referencing the gun control bills that failed. On the Boston bombing he said, | Read More »
As usual, the Watercooler is an open-thread and I didn’t see any posts on today’s news that 3 more students were arrested for aiding and abetting the Boston terrorists. First, many thanks are due to westcoastpatriette for posting a daily thread which I find useful so as not to thread-jack. After conversing with wcp last night, she just needs a break so didn’t mind if others take up | Read More »
What is a Black Hole? Per www.Space.com: Black holes are some of the strangest and most fascinating objects found in outer space. They are objects of extreme density, with such strong gravitational attraction that even light cannot escape from their grasp if it comes near enough. When a star burns through the last of its fuel, it may find itself collapsing. For smaller stars, | Read More »
Honorable Senator Rubio: Less than a year ago, the president thwarted your sincere efforts towards comprehensive immigration reform and instructed DHS to implement the “Deferred Action” process for DREAMers. This pre-empted your legislative efforts just in time for the election. It prompted me to write this diary on RedState: “Another Step Closer to the Destruction of America Thanks to the Order-by-Fiat-in-Chief”. I expressed my opinion on the real | Read More »
We’ll never know for sure the exact reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire but many attribute it to a marked decline in morals, especially by the ruling classes that eventually spilled onto the general public. “Immoral and promiscuous sexual behavior including adultery and orgies was commonplace and celebrated in the Colosseum arena”, according to one source, Emperors such as Tiberius kept groups of young boys for his pleasure, | Read More »
If any Republican would stand up and tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, we would win every election from here on out. And getting the liberal vote would be a piece of cake. Why? Because admitting that the system is rigged against every day Americans would be monumental (I hate the term middle-class since we didn’t have a caste system until the last two elections). | Read More »
Only a narcissist would believe that he deserves the faux outpouring of love and admiration this week from the Jewish state after years of his outright disrespect for them that stretched beyond the basic tenants of good statesmanship. As usual, the MSM and Lefty press are calling his speech historic and the best speech ev-ah given by any man on Earth. After receiving Israel’s Presidential Medal of Distinction Thursday, becoming the | Read More »
“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” – Rahm Emanuel What a famous and telling quote and one this administration seems to not only practice as gospel but seems culpable in creating a crisis in order to get things done. The exception to their imagination is | Read More »
(Updated to include a link to the History of U.S. Immigration Law and to highlight The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA), enacted in 1996, that lists many of the same ideas being discussed today…17 years later) I don’t pretend to know all the ins and outs of immigration laws so this is based upon the knowledge I have and perceptions by observation. | Read More »
The transformation of a political campaign organization, Obama for America, into a political action organization, Organizing for America, is really creepy and should be illegal. So Michelle O announces it in a video, Obama endorses it with an email and yet it is supposed to follow the IRS rules, of a 501(c)4 organization. From breitbart.com, http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/18/Obama-campaign-becomes-lobbying-group, “a 501(c)4 organization can have lobbying on legislation as its primary purpose, “The | Read More »
Our government has failed us miserably. The debt is out of this world due to phony accounting gimmicks that should send many Congressmen the way of Bernie Madoff or Bernie Ebbers*, special interest deals both internally and externally within the Executive Branch and Congress, and a multitude of other acts of malfeasance that must keep our founding fathers turning like a rotisserie chicken in their graves. The | Read More »
For those that think I jest about gridlock, well I’m not joking. Call me crazy if you will. Many stories abound on the news and on-line media that this is the worst Congress ever; just do a search on “bills passed in the 112th Congress” and you’ll get all kinds of opinions that this 112th Congress was the least productive ever: *According to a Huffington Post review | Read More »
TRUTH or DARE! Such a silly game some of us played as children that in the end, had no real consequences beyond embarrassment. Unfortunately it’s not a joke watching our elected leaders play chicken with our lives. It’s also not surprising since most of them only care about their next election so they’ll do just about anything, including obfuscate, exaggerate, and outright lie, in order | Read More »
Why is it that in our sophisticated society we don’t have blueprint for economic success? It occurred to me that we have rules, theorems, how-to’s, etc. for everything except how to keep our economy thriving (a major exception is perhaps how to be a good parent or if one is ready to be one so let’s leave that aside). This seems so basic that a 5th grader | Read More »
Did you know that Google search engine was originally called BackRub? Hmm, that’s weird. First, a couple words about our circular firing squad- STOP IT! We started this nonsense in the primary and are continuing it after our loss while the left is laughing at us all the way to the presidency. Sure I had my moments of spite a few days ago with my, | Read More »
Four more years worth of cake is the least of the guilty pleasures due to those Americans who voted this demonic person back into office. If the majority of people are so misinformed to vote this man back into office, who has done nothing but harm this country for four years and blame all of the results of his failed policies on someone else, then | Read More »
Cameras in place, cue the lights, turn up the mics. And action. Into our view is the most elaborate stage ever seen for a political convention with the enormous Greek columns flanking the stage with two huge video screens displaying colossal images of the Democratic nominee, inevitably our new presidential American idol. Indeed a monumental stage built in the image of ancient times for a Greek God | Read More »
Mr. President, you have repeatedly claimed to be the torch bearer for the middle class. Yet everything you do seems to hurts the middle class. The economy isn’t growing enough to even keep up with population growth. Why not let the New Media press ask you questions rather than just the MSM that has favored you from the start? You also said you would have the most transparent administration in history. Please | Read More »
Today is a BIG day! According to the U.S Census Bureau, the population on 7/2/2012 will be 313,857,116. See the stats here: http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html Strangely it states that the projections do not include members of the Armed Forces overseas, their dependents, or other U.S. citizens residing outside the United States. I can’t explain why the Bureau eliminated our most honored but that’s besides the point. And approximately | Read More »
I’ve been hesitant to declare my VP choice on RedState for a while because I wanted to watch the campaign unfold and give it time to see where Romney’s VP choice may help plug a hole in a swing state or fulfill a weakness in his campaign. I wasn’t really worried about the dirt and tactics from Team O given his extremely amateur campaign to date after witnessing all of his fits and starts fizzle | Read More »
The immigration policy announced by Mr. O last Friday was beyond stunning for me and hopefully all Americans and also to these immigrants currently here lawfully waiting patiently in line to become a citizen. His complete disregard of our Rule of Law and failure to recognize his duty to uphold the Constitutional duty that he swore to do is very disturbing. This has been enumerated on so the purpose of | Read More »
As another hearing is scheduled for this Thursday at 10:00am on the Senate floor and we get closer to a June vote on the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), I would like to call out attention on the remaining 20 Republican Senators that have not yet signed the letter to Sen. Reid which would block the passage of this bill. Yes I wrote about this few weeks ago | Read More »
I had a eureka moment while watching the tennis French Open on Sunday. A commentator said that playing on clay required knowledge of the terrain, brick by brick, as they showed machines grinding red bricks for the clay surface. She then read quotes from Sun Tzu, a Chinese general from 512BC, whose philosophy was and is today, regarded as one of the most influential on how to | Read More »
