How clever of President
Obama to put
off immigration "reform" -- new legislation which he has no legal
ability to produce, let alone enforce -- until after the November elections, so
as not to remind voters that their leftist Democrat members of Congress are
poised to crush rational definitions of the words, American citizen. Politics at its most odorous. Me?
Still way beyond impeachment and hoping for prison -- a prison without a
golf course. The (sigh. ..) impossible
dream.
I'm writing this
about nine hours before the prez is scheduled to speak to the American
people (legal and illegal) with his (obviously) quickly cooked-up (like instant
rice, "ready in minutes") Middle East strategy , and I'm thinking,
what a jerk, he couldn't wait to rush us out of
Iraq (as numerous archived speeches aptly demonstrate), and after he and
Queen Hillary finished adding fire to the Arab Spring, apparently in full expectation that life
would be good again, here we are as both the Middle East and the rest of the
world burn in defiance to everything the Obama/Clinton duo and their willing
moronic minions did. As a military
veteran, I can't possibly express the degree of outrage I feel over the sad
truth that so many fine and honorable active duty folks continue to toil and
suffer under a degrading and pathetically weak conciliatory appliance
disguised as a world leader.
Here's a loony
idea, how about the sons and daughters of Saudi princes and Kuwaiti royalty,
and in fact the whole able population of such countries get out there and use
all that military hardware accumulating in their countries to handle this hell
on earth themselves? No, they always
expect the U.S. to do it and lose our young people's lives. Let the Middle East's pampered dignitaries
get off the beaches, off their asses and out of the casinos to fight the war they should fight themselves. Sorry to be so shallow here, I always get
that way when some aura of common sense emerges.
Having said
that, enough diplomacy already.
If we're going to send air power to reduce ISIS to an ash, don't hold
back. To hell with the Bush approach and
to hell with the Obama approach. Bomb
the extremist Islamist population and keep bombing until every last one is dead, man,
woman and child. It's all the same
monster. Will innocent people die? Yes. But that's the crazy little thing about war. War is war, and war is
accomplished with neither cookies nor kindness, only with speed and death. Unfortunately, the Obama bunch will probably not call this the war that it should be, continues to
have their heads way far up United Nations butt, so anything the prez says
tonight with his public face will likely be far different from the things he
says to those behind closed doors whom he wishes to appease. A real American president would start by
kicking every vestige of the Muslim Brotherhood out of both the White House and
Washington, but thanks to the grand collaboration the whole MB thing is apparently imbedded
throughout the intelligence community, with plans to stick around. This must change, but that will be up to
voters whose minds remain yet untouched by Common Core, which replaces
common sense.
Oh, and when the
mission is finished, don't put our U.S. military members in federal prison for
performing the jobs they were ordered to do.
Word has it, there are a lot of military folk in federal pens who don't
belong there. But don't count on Obama
diplomacy, which can't even be bothered to get an American Marine out of a
Mexican prison -- and Mexico is as much of a friend to us as Iran these days,
providing fairly safe passage to those of many foreign lands who invade our
borders. Not a friend.
Next, close the
borders and don't allow one more Muslim into the U.S. until we get a handle on
the national threat. Other countries
have caught on to the horror, why are we so far behind? Oh, of course, it's spelled O-b-a-m-a and the
leftists.
New virus in
town. Children in 10 states and growing are
infected with a serious respiratory virus (Enterovirus 68) rarely seen in this
country, often requiring hospitalization, and as the epidemic proceeds it's
worth harkening back to all those illegal alien children who began storming the
borders months ago, and who continue to do so.
TB cases reportedly are also "mysteriously" showing up in the
USA. Yes, by all means, keep letting
anything that can walk across the border attend school with your children. Diseases progress, the government won't admit
to their source, and we have no right to question or get straight answers from
anybody. We need government whistle
blowers more than ever.
CVS pharmacies
pull the plug on cigarette sales in all their stores. Well, that's nice -- but you guys do realize,
don't you, that you're still peddling, for a hefty profit, dangerous /
poisonous drugs behind the medicine counter?
I mean, all the stuff in TV commercials where they warn viewers of
potential and serious complications and
even death if taken "as prescribed?"
And last I checked, I don't think smokers excrete stuff into municipal
water supplies that could affect aquatic life and people the way traces of some
drugs detected in water samples might.
Now, I understand that pharmacies drug stores sell medications intended to help
people, but if you're going to discontinue the cigs, shouldn't drug stores of
any ownership also carry a corporate logo displaying a skull &
crossbones? Really, tobacco, marijuana,
cocaine, meth, generic and brand-name
drugs -- choose your poison. And label
it all as the same critter.
Wow, a new
I-Phone! Exciting!
Amazing! Stupendous! Extraordinary! A dream come true! Dumbing you down! Requires no common sense or thinking! Its colorful and shiny allure shapes your
attention span into making you the perfect victim for a thief on the
streets! Subject to instant uselessness
when encountering an EMP! Wait, the next
I-Phone is almost ready! Be the first on
your block, kids, so you can tell everybody you have one. . .!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, a new smart
watch! Wonder how long it will be before carpal
tunnel syndrome becomes widespread due to repetitive wrist movements? Get ready, orthopedic clinics. . .
Did I hear this
right? That some 160 coal-fired
power plants are closing to date per order of Obama's EPA? If the coming winter meets or exceeds last
winter's chill, one wonders how the power grid will cope. Last time, the grid
was reportedly hovering near collapse.
If power problems present Americans with disaster this winter, all the
public officials who thought disemboweling "king coal" and firing
thousands of industry workers was just marvelous for The Environment must be
held criminally accountable, and that certainly includes this White House and
other communists intent upon American "transformation." Trust me, slavery is not dead. Different masters, different plantation,
global influence.
And speaking of
such things, ABC News,
hell-bent upon featuring weather "extremes" almost every day on its
so-called news programs (totally ignoring anti-global warming news, natch'),
often reveals a fact even they probably overlook: Their weather reporters will usually say
something such as, "This is the worst rain event here in 30 years,"
and by so doing this indicates that, indeed, severe weather has struck in the
recent past. It's not something brand
new. Yes, climate change exists, with an
ebb and flow set in place long before we showed up as latecomers, somehow
mysteriously imbedded with the responsibility to explain and "do something" about climate
alterations over which we have no control.
The U.S. Senate must shoot down any and all international climate
treaties intended simply to steal our money, and that means telling the current
president and his intellectual (that may be a vastly insignificant word) twins
at the U.N. "no."
Automobile
technology prides itself on the development of electric cars and the
like. Tesla Motors, in fact, is building
a battery factory in Nevada. I'm still
betting on hydrogen vehicles, myself, but at any rate the problems to be
overcome aren't merely the propulsion and energy systems. Because roads and highways are routinely
washing out due to heavy rainfall -- weather extremes, ABC! -- it kinda seems
as though something needs to replace tires, and more likely a something which
won't even need a road upon which to travel, since roads may become too
cumbersome, expensive and obsolete to maintain and replace. I know, this sounds like a beam-me-up-Scotty
moment, and, as you know, I never much cared for "Star Trek."
Going Up! Ray Rice, wedding rice, instant rice, who
cares? Hey, you want football thuggery, this is what
you get -- and you want it, you know you do! Violence against women and men is epidemic, I guess, but I had a
different take on the elevator's security cam video regarding that football
player / future wife incident. What may
have happened is that the elevator was moving quickly and as Rice was
attempting to push a button the force of either upward motion or gravity moved
his arm, resulting in his hand smacking the girlfriend and knocking her
out. I assume this is the sort of thing
intended when beautiful women are referred to as "knockouts?" (So, my instant analysis is any less credible
than barrels of tripe shared among TV's talking heads?)
Who knew? The late actor Steve McQueen was among a very few
asked to assume the lead role in the movie, Close Encounters of the Third
Kind, a relatively meaningless little notation I discovered while reading
about his life. I did find it
interesting that McQueen, who seemed to have a troubled childhood (as so many
of the best actors did), rejected the role which ultimately went to Richard
Dreyfuss because he allegedly didn't feel comfortable dealing with emotions
required for the part. While McQueen's
reputation on movie sets depicted him as often difficult to work with, he also
did whatever he wanted to do and felt that, if others had a problem with him,
that was their predicament, not his. Good for him!
By the way, grandson Steven R. McQueen has a recurring role (evidently a
role which requires him primarily to show up, hang around and model for the
cameras) on TV's Vampire Diaries,
a program whose premise, continuing existence, scripts and very inception
continue to puzzle me, much as I'm puzzled that fruitcakes persist in showing
up as legitimate Christmas gifts year after year for people who don't actually
want or need them, but can't resist opening the wrapper to determine the
staleness of the product.
