Lies seem to become truths if they are repeated enough

From my buddy Ron;

Diogenes could have spent two lifetimes in Washington, gone through thousands of gallons of oil, millions of lamp-wicks, and never found even one honest man.

Yesterday I wrote my grandkids (the youngest is 26, the rest are over 30) a 5-page “mini rant” briefly outlining what’s going on in the world and what they should do about it. Somewhere in there I felt the need to explain that of the worst things we could do back in my childhood was LIE! A man’s word was his bond. To impeach his word was to invite a demand of “satisfaction” with an epee or a six-gun.

It seems like every five minutes I hear something out of our White house that makes me want to kick the wall and shout bad words. Peggy Noonan says that the only people in Washington who tell the truth these days are whistleblowers. I’m even becoming skeptical of them.

Obama said, "Over the past five years we've cut our deficits by more than half. When I took office, the deficit was nearly 10 percent of our economy. Today, it's approaching 3 percent." That guy just opens his mouth and lies tumble out!

And he’s got a bunch of hench-people in the media that help expand on his lies. This week The Daily Beast said the deficit is down two-thirds from its peak in 2009. That is a @#$%* LIE!

The government’s fiscal year ended on September 30^th. Google the phrase "debt to the penny" and you’ll be directed to a Treasury Department page that allows you to enter specific dates and find out to the penny the size of the federal debt for any given period.

Enter the period Sept. 30, 2013 to Sept. 30, 2014 and you’ll find:

The public debt outstanding at the end of FY2013 was $16,738,183,526,697.

One year later it was $17,824,071,380,733.82. The DEBT INCREASE was $1,085,887,854,036. -- No matter how you spin it!

The deficit grew by more than one trillion dollars!

Whether lying by reference, omission or compulsion, lying is still lying. One example was those Clinton-era budget surpluses. The national debt actually grew each one of those years. But money was "borrowed" from the Social Security Trust Fund instead of from the public, which created the illusion that the budget was in surplus.

The 24-day period until the November election should be nicknamed “Liars’ Marathon.” Boy, we’re going to hear some beauties out of the White House. The sad part is, many gullible voters will believe ‘em.

The 200 year war against Muslim tyranny

I did not writ this I received it in an email, I would give credit to the author if I knew who it was.


  
Here is a little history, including how the term ‘Leatherneck’ came to be.

Most Americans are unaware of the fact that over two hundred years ago,the United States had declared war on Islam, and Thomas Jefferson led the charge!

At the height of the eighteenth century, Muslim pirates were the terror of the Mediterranean and a large area of the North Atlantic. They attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews for exorbitant ransoms. Those taken hostage were subjected to barbaric treatment and wrote heart breaking letters home, begging their government and family members to pay whatever their Mohammedan captors demanded.

These extortionists of the high seas represented the Islamic nations of Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers – collectively referred to as the Barbary Coast – and presented a dangerous and unprovoked threat to the new American Republic.

Before the Revolutionary War, U.S. merchant ships had been under the protection of Great Britain. When the U.S. declared its independence and entered into war, the ships of the United States were protected by France. However, once the war was won, America had to protect its own fleets. Thus, the birth of the U.S. Navy.

Beginning in 1784, seventeen years before he would become president, Thomas Jefferson became America’s Minister to France. That same year, the U.S. Congress sought to appease its Muslim adversaries by following in
the footsteps of European nations who paid bribes to the Barbary States, rather than engaging them in war.

In July of 1785, Algerian pirates captured American ships, and the Day of Algiers demanded an unheard-of ransom of $60,000. It was a plain and simple case of extortion, and Thomas Jefferson was vehemently opposed to any further payments. Instead, he proposed to Congress the formation of acoalition of allied nations who together could force the Islamic states into peace. A disinterested Congress decided to pay the ransom.

In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli’s ambassador to Great Britain to ask by what right his nation attacked American ships and enslaved American citizens, and why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.

The two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam "was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have
acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."

Despite this stunning admission of premeditated violence on non-Muslim nations, as well as the objections of many notable American leaders, including George Washington, who warned that caving in was both wrong and would only further embolden the enemy, for the following fifteen years, the American government paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute amounted to over twenty percent of the United States government annual revenues in 1800.

Jefferson was disgusted. Shortly after his being sworn in as the third President of the United States in 1801, the Pashaof Tripoli sent him a note demanding the immediate payment of $225,000 plus $25,000 a year for every year forthcoming. That changed everything.

Jefferson let the Pasha know, in no uncertain terms, what he could do with his demand. The Pasha responded by cutting down the flagpole at the American consulate and declared war on the United States. Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers immediately followed suit.

Jefferson, until now, had been against America raising a naval force for anything beyond coastal defense, but having watched his nation be cowed by Islamic thuggery for long enough, decided that it was finally time to meet force with force.

He dispatched a squadron of frigates to the Mediterranean and taught the Muslim of the Barbary Coast a lesson he hoped they would never forget. Congress authorized Jefferson to empower U.S. ships to seize all vessels and
goods of the Pasha of Tripoli and to “cause to be done all other acts of precaution or hostility as the state of war would justify”.

When Algiers and Tunis, who were both accustomed to American cowardice and acquiescence, saw the newly independent United States had both the will and the might to strike back, they quickly abandoned their allegiance to Tripoli.

The war with Tripoli lasted for four more years, and raged up again in 1815. The bravery of the U.S. Marine
Corps in these wars led to the line “to the shores of Tripoli” in the Marine Hymn. They would forever be known as “leathernecks” for the leather collars of their uniforms, designed to prevent their heads from
being cut off by the Muslim scimitars when boarding enemy ships.

Islam, and what its Barbary followers justified doing in the name of their prophet and their god, disturbed Jefferson quite deeply. America had a tradition of religious tolerance, the fact that Jefferson, himself, had co-authored the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, but fundamentalist Islam was like no other religion
the world had ever seen. A religion based on supremacism, whose holy book not only condoned but mandated violence against unbelievers was unacceptable to him. His greatest fear was that someday this brand of Islam would return and pose an even greater threat to the United States.

This should bother every American. That the Islams have brought about women-only classes and swimming times at
taxpayer-funded universities and public pools; that Christians, Jews, and Hindus have been banned from serving on juries where Muslim defendants are being judged, Piggy banks and Porky Pig tissue dispensers
have been banned from workplaces because they offend Islamist sensibilities. Ice cream has been discontinued at certain Burger King locations because the picture on the wrapper looks similar to the Arabic script for Allah, public schools are pulling pork from their menus, on and on in the news papers….

It’s death by a thousand cuts, or inch-by-inch as some refer to it, and most Americans have no idea that this battle is being waged every day across America. By not fighting back, by allowing groups to obfuscate
what is really happening, and not insisting that the Islamists adapt to our own culture, the United States is cutting its own throat with a politically correct knife, and helping to further the Islamists agenda.

Sadly, it appears that today’s America would rather be politically correct than victorious.

Let us win the war

             I understand the general public’s attitude in regards to their feelings about ground troops in the Middle East especially with the constant drone of the liberal press.  I also understand the warriors in our military who feel that for two generations we have allowed the politicians to handicap their ability to win.  This air war that we have entered into will go on for years without installing good old American ground troops into the area to rout out the cowards that hide behind women and children.  If you ask the troops they will be happy to do the job but only with the understanding that enough of them would be deployed to overwhelm the enemy.  With our air power and the ability of our Soldiers and Marines in mass, this conflict would go extremely fast and with the least amount of casualties.  Politicians should stay out of the way once war has been declared and allow the military leaders to decide policy and the rules of engagement.   Declare war and get out of the way.    

A letter from a triple amputee Green Beret to our government

I know few will read this long disertation in its entirety but I send it along as a Veteran supporting the thoughts and prayers of a fellow Vet.: Don

 I write to you today regarding my concerns about the current state in which we find our beloved planet and your efforts in resolving the many issues we face.Over the last decade, we have managed to allow our mighty position at the head of the table to dwindle down to a seat at the kids table, with our counsel being received as if it were that of a child making a suggestion on how to cure the world of evil: everyone thinks it is adorable, but no one takes it seriously.

To put it politely, you all are about as successful in global politics as an overweight middle-aged American with a severe case of tetanus trying to perform fellatio on himself.

Understanding that you have the attention span of indigenous forces undergoing rifle training, I give you the options of either reading this letter in its entirety or simply skipping to the last two paragraphs.

Sadly, you neither get the reference about indigenous forces (ask your college educated SMEs and think tanks) nor are you capable of making a decision on what to do next. Go ahead and post a tweet asking for thoughts/advice and hashtag this out with the others. #hashtaggingworldproblemsisabsurd #noseriouslystopit #itisridiculousandembarrassing You have time, this letter will still be here.
Due your ineptitude in your decisions with regard to who we back with foreign aid, and your complete lack of a spine in dealing with global threats, we find ourselves, for the first time in ages, being looked at with eyes filled with disdain and disrespect.

The mere mention of ‘America’ leaves a bad taste in the mouths of our friends and allies. The prospects of being saved by our once-great nation are now nothing more than a fleeting thought in the hearts and minds of Third World Country natives who dream of a life with fewer hardships than ones they currently face—hardships that could be vanquished by the hands of a great nation and its allies.
We have entered into a time in which it is not only possible to spread one’s hate filled rhetoric, it is also actually profitable and protected. Your understanding and misinterpretations of our founding freedoms are being used and twisted to further your own political agendas without any consideration for the people you are meant to represent.

Your understanding (or lack thereof) of our Constitution contributes to the complete madness of a country that is run where someone’s rights to desecrate the flag that represents these very freedoms is more important than the patriotic peoples who stand to protect it. Allowing people to lose houses or be fined for flying the American flag on their property due to it offending someone or being against a housing covenants is beyond ludicrous. It’s both absurd and frightening. These are just a few examples of countless rights that are being used to tear the very fabric of which this country is founded.

You see, all of you have forgotten the very key that makes this country work. You fight for one’s freedoms to express their beliefs regardless of where their loyalties lie. Using our very own founding documents, you argue that it is ones right to speak and act freely on their beliefs, regardless of their view of this great nation.

For fear of offending someone to pure political motivations, you stand up for the very people that wish to tear you down. What you, as well as most Americans have forgotten is this: Those individual rights end where others begin! It may be ones right to protest a certain religions display or another’s stance on certain political views, however, it is also the others right to display and have those stand points.

If one is offended by a shirt displayed with an image of a gun, a flag of our nation, a statue representing their faith in their chosen religion or any other example; that is their right to be offended and speak out. However, it is the others right to wear that shirt, fly that flag, display that statue or whatever else they wish to do. Freedom cannot be one-sided. The complete madness of political correctness is overwhelming.

You have stripped away our 1st Amendment rights by disguising it as political correctness and making the very people that make this country great afraid of offending any and everyone. I use these examples in our own country as the catalyst that has spawned our current position on the global stage.
Through political motivation or just complete incompetence, your methods of governing our country have clouded your views and thought processes for helping forge a united world. We stand at the table, with weak knees and shivering hands. Our word as a nation holding as much weight as that of our President doing curls in the gym. We have all seen the video…We live in a world where you can contest our very lands with flyovers without consequence. A world where one can sweep through two entire countries, massacring everyone along the way with no fear repercussions. One where sanctions and empty threats are wielded as a mighty sword against the very enemies that threaten our existence. You fail to see that in today’s world, the pen is not mightier than the sword.

You have demonstrated this time and time again over the last 13 years. Take Afghanistan for example. Politics alone have been the source of Taliban resurgence. How could this be? Let me school you. In 2001, a mixture of CIA, Special Forces and other Special Operations Forces (SOF), in very limited numbers, swept through the entire country of Afghanistan, demolishing the Taliban forces that stood in its way. Thinking that the back had been broken, we backed off and brought more and more ground forces in the country.

As time went on, more and more troops arrived and operational control was taken away from the Special Operations types, to make way for conventional commands. Along with this came more and more restricted Rules of Engagement.Fast forward to 2006. Following more political moves and further NATO control, we found ourselves in an Afghanistan where the freedom of movement for the insurgents is unprecedented in Operation Enduring Freedom—a freedom of movement that not only limits NATO troops ground movements, but also has even the hardest of SOF elements avoiding a drive into Kandahar City. So, NATO asked the US to help. Enter into the timeline, Operation Medusa.

US Special Forces demolished the insurgent forces to the point that insurgent operations in the entire country dropped. The morale of the insurgents also dropped to an all time low, the grounds upon which the new Afghan Government stands, are once again sturdy. Now, fast forward to present day…
What has happened? Are the insurgents in Afghanistan fleeing and backs broken? Far from it. All of this due to your politics. The war effort drawn down to a near standstill due to more and more pointless commands and approval process. All, in which serve to help some pointless commander to further his career and push some pointless political agenda.

You see, the current world in which we find ourselves isn’t one that can be tamed by the pen. The evils of the world find protection behind the shield of your politics. This is due to one simple fact. You have no clue how to play this game. You listen and make decisions based of your Subject Matter Experts who read about war in a book. You base your strategies on the opinions of ‘Think Tanks’ and conventional wisdom. The answers to these problems being spoken by the men on the ground only to be silenced by ‘yes men’. Due to this, you will continue to fail.

Not only will you fail in Afghanistan, you will fail in bringing peace and security back into this world. All of these failures will be caused by you because of one simple factor: none of you have the intestinal fortitude to do what is necessary. You will use your own misguided experiences and delusions gained in your failures in governing our own country as the grounds on which you base your strategies. But understand this, you can’t defeat evil with butterflies and rainbows. And you sure as hell can’t do it with pens and empty words.

Face it, for the most part, our Foreign Policy is a joke and your efforts on the global stage are nothing short of pathetic. Not going into the fact that you all are voted in for the people by the people to do a job, a job in which you are failing. At least you all aren’t receiving a ridiculous paycheck and benefits package for providing a public service. oh wait…

Our saving grace is that there are still a handful of you that will find this, as frustrating as it is, accurate and motivating. But, then again, if that was the case, then we wouldn’t find ourselves in this situation. Oh the conundrum. We have faith in our abilities as a nation. We have faith in our abilities in unconventional war as well as faith in our ability to destroy the current threats to the world given the freedoms and support required to do so.

So, I write to you today calling you out. You have failed. It is time to hand that Capri Sun and straw over before you put your eye out. You’ve been poking at that hole for some time now. You gave it your best lil buddies, but it’s time. Pull those trainers up around your waist, latch down the Velcro, and watch how real men fight wars.

It is time to unleash the hounds. You have had over a decade of war filled with warriors that would gladly step up and fight. These former service members are battle hardened and ready. More importantly, they understand the game. We stand at the gates, waiting to smite all that is evil in this world. You will not defeat the current evils in this world by playing your political chess games because it is spreading at an alarming rate. Unleash us. Back us. Stand behind us.

History has shown us that evil is only successful when the righteous stand aside and do nothing. Let us show the world that it will not tolerate the likes of ISIS or Boko Haram. That there most certainly are repercussions for committing atrocities. Justice will come to them swift and brutal. Step aside and let us do what is necessary! We stand ready!”

That’s definitely going to sting a little. This Green Beret is absolutely spot on.
It’s time for the spineless politicians in office to do their job to keep this country safe, and that starts with coming out and acknowledging who your enemy is, not playing these silly political correctness games with the acronym of terror groups beheading people and persecuting religious minorities.
Strong and swift action must be taken immediately to shut down ISIS, and that means airstrikes and ground troops. If action isn’t taken soon, the Islamic State will eventually carry out a successful attack killing hundreds, possibly thousands of Americans.

Lets win for a change

How can we win in the Middle East.  It will take unfettered ground troops with strategy to win not being held to political correctness.  Using a combination of American troops and unrelenting airpower to overwhelm and collapse their command centers.  When a town is taken the people are invited out to vote on the disposition of the captured enemy once and for all.  As the battle ends in each village and town, bring in the CB’S to rebuild the infra structure and put the town back together and let the people elect new local governments.  It’s time to treat terror with terror.

 I have no doubt that man for man our military can out gun, out run and out smart any terrorist army they face if the reigns of political strategy are cut & they are allowed to fight like our troops were allowed to in WWII.  For too long our politicians have throttled any opportunity for our military to win with their impossible to follow, rules of engagement.  When our military is asked to risk their lives they deserve the right to be able to have the opportunity to win.  Ask any Warrior and they will tell you that we have more losses due to these rules of engagement than anything else.  The idea that we have to play by strict rules & the enemy doesn’t even understand our rules is ridiculous. 

God Bless America & God Bless our Troops   

God continues to challenge us

God challenged us on September 11^th 2001 & our then President George Bush, took up his challenge, rallied our people and carried our tattered banner into battle.  God again challenged us on September 11^th 2012 & our President Barrack Obama & accomplice Hilary Clinton took turns hiding behind a video that was irrelevant.  God once again challenged our humanity as we were forced to watch two innocent Americans beheaded at the hands of a Muslim murderer.  The President played a round of golf until the polls pushed him to the podium.  Once there he told our enemy that they didn’t have to worry about any American boots on the ground, something they fear more than the bombs.  He gave them notice to move their operation because in a few weeks we would be bombing the old ones in Syria.  All Presidents should be required to first serve in the military, man or woman, it’s the only way they will ever understand what it means to love something enough to willingly give your life for it. 

Every time he telegraphs our moves he risks the lives of those who so gallantly serve.  Our forefathers must be rolling in their graves at the thought of such an incompetent nincompoop we have elected as Commander in Chief.  Limited warfare has never worked as proven in Viet Nam & Korea.  The lack of the will to win by our politicians cost thousands of lives rather than a victory & left America weaker in the process.   The lesson of the surge that the President was definitely against, showing his contempt for military logic by lowering the number requested by 25% has been lost on this Commander in Chief.  The surge eventually as worked as planned but took longer because of the reduction in numbers, the lack of adequate troops also caused more casualties in the long run according to the military.   Overwhelming your enemy and forcing them to capitulate defines war.  There is no such thing as collateral damage when fighting to win against those who would willingly hide behind their own people.  Judge it by the mentality of a mother who would strap a suicide bomb on her 5 year old for the sake of Allah.

I know, in many minds I’m just a warmonger, but if wanting to win quickly and with the least amount of American losses and get the problem over with is wrong, then I guess I am just a warmonger.  Maybe as the next city here in the United States goes up in flames by the hands of  radicalized Muslims, a few more of you will become war mongers too.

Okay, now I’m getting mad!

No, not the insane kinda’ mad. The SEEIN’ RED kinda’ mad! It’s not unexpected: I’ve been fighting it for about six years now but yesterday I saw something on the news that finally made me want to kick the wall (never the dog) and shout impolite words. On TV yesterday I saw a bunch of (and watch out for the political incorrectness that’s coming your way)  loony-toons carrying signs demanding $15 an hour for entry-level workers at fast-foods joints.

Obviously the crowd wasn’t divided according to population – the 12% African minority probably accounted for over 90% of those in attendance. Their shouted epithets broadly indicated they were not candidates for the English as a First Language award.

You probably noticed right off I said “African” and not “African-American.”  The only people who can rightfully use that hyphenated nationality are those with dual-citizenship. The rest are either Africans or Americans and must decide which and conduct themselves accordingly. I’m not a European-American. You’re not a “Whatever-American.” We can’t have it both ways. Like Hemingway said, we’ve gotta be either beast or foul. “Beast-Hyphen-Fowl” is not acceptable. I'd guess not one out of every 1,000 black Americans also has African citizenship. I’m aware that statement will cause the hair to rise on the necks of the “political correctness” nuts. They’ll hurry to respond with accusations like “racist” and “Bigot.”

Know what?  I couldn’t care less!  And know why? Well --

These finger-pointers simply don’t have a clue. To begin with, a “racist” is someone who believes that members of certain races have distinctive characteristics. This then possibly involves the idea that one’s own race is somehow superior to all others. In “enlightened correctness” (as opposed to political correctness) racism is an understandable “general characteristic” of ALL races on this planet. Everyone with an ounce of pride can't help but be prejudiced.

Checking with Noah Webster, a “bigot is “Someone who is intolerant of any creed, belief or opinion that differs from his own.” My goodness, doesn’t that sound just like an Obama liberal? Those exact people who are quick to point an accusing finger are often the biggest racists and bigots of all!

My second reaction to those protesters was, I hoped that most of those dingbats (and I can’t even guess where they were shipped in from) never set foot in a fast-foods restaurant in my neighborhood. From the looks of many of those sign-toters, I’d hate to eat the food that they had a hand in preparing. I'll stop there --  I'm getting close to profiling, and I'd hate to have them call me unconstitutional as well. (Although "unconstitutional racist bigot" does have a certain ring to it . . .)

                                                                                                                                           

Modern-day success is all too often measured solely in dollars and cents. In a Republic such as the United States, ambition and hard work are the acceptable, yet diminishing, path toward success. Using threats and force to get there are NOT a substitute for the American way. Such demonstrations as we are seeing are a form of intimidation that can quickly develop into a physical confrontation. What do you consider “If you don’t give in to our (unreasonable?) demands, we’ll put you out of business”? How much does that differ from pointing a gun and saying, “Give me your money or I’ll shoot you”?  Actually, it's not too far different  …  just using a more direct approach. How often have we seen orderly coercion jump to physical mayhem (old enough to remember the Watts Riots of the 1960s?)

It is not unusual for American home owners or renters to have their lawns mowed by self-proclaimed landscapers. It is not unusual for these services to be performed by independents who drive pickups and hire “casual laborers.” Now what if your own lawn-mower were to appear in front of your house one morning with a bunch of workmen you’d never seen before all carrying signs that said, “We want $100 an hour to mow your lawn!” You’d likely call one of the other lawn-mowers in your town and tell him to come by. It wouldn't be that easy if the government and a union were helping him. Okay, that’s likely a poor simile, but you get the point. And the franchisee that owns your local hamburger joint is powerless to resist a government edict.

I'm not going to finger-point and use the word "unAmerican" but individuals and organizations that move to restrict job-availability aren't helping get us out of the predicament we're in. The BLS reported that in August 142,000 jobs were created. That is .00044 in percentile-speak. That would be like the entire County of Los Angeles hiring the big toe of one worker in a month. What’s worse, the BLS had to use their magic wand to put 80,000 of those supposed new workers into the equation. To save you counting on your fingers, that makes the real total for the month of August only 62,000 new jobs. In L.A. County, that wouldn’t even make a toenail on a worker. In the entire nation, zip!

A scant 62.8 of the labor force have jobs. There is a Real 12% unemployment. The country is in the worst financial shape since the Great Depression. Yet, the unions are hiring protesters with dirty hands to threaten a bunch of small franchisees with possible extinction if they don’t get a $15 an hour minimum wage. Where’s the fairness in this? Have the unions -- along with the entry-level workers -- lost their minds? To satisfy this outrageous demand, the average fast-food restaurants would have to raise their prices by 38% and/or fire workers. Even then, their profits would generally plummet by nearly 80%. Friends, these idiots are basically trying to force small-businesses to commit suicide!

Those few legitimate fast-food workers that are protesting are being used as unwitting stooges by unions who pay the remainder of the mobs to join the marchers. These same unions once played a beneficial role in the development of America. Today, they’re purposely accelerating the decline of American business.

Is it any wonder I get mad?!  Oops! Is anger now on the list of political incorrectness? What's next, thinking?

 

It's getting pretty deep

A note from a friend;

Dear readers:

I’m probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but every day I take the time to
read every advisory service I feel is objective and worthy. After separating the
wheat from the chaff, and when the results warrant, I share with you the salient –
and undiluted -- facts. And political correctness be damned!

This morning we got our weekly BLS (just BS?) employment stats. They reported
that we’re still hanging at a 6.1% unemployment rate. The average Americans,
who barely have time to brush their teeth what with jobs, kids, houses to maintain,
chores, bills, etc, etc, etc, take a quick glance and say, “Hey, we’re still improving!”

Uh-uh! Hey, grab your water-wings and swim with me through the garbage that
our government dumps by the barge-load into every body of water in the U.S.

First off, that 6.1% is a manufactured pile of camel doo. I watch the numbers every
week and it is obvious they spin a wheel or throw darts to come up with a number.
Harsh words, Ron. Yeah, but they’re true. Take a look at the truth.

In the U.S. we have what’s called a “labor force.” Briefly, that’s the part of our
population that want to work and, if factors allow, do work. As our population
increases every day of the year, that number should increase. But over the last 6
years, and according to the BLS, the labor force has shrunk. Huh?

Quickly, ‘cause I can tell you’re getting edgy: A few years back the White House
instructed the BLS to change its method of determining unemployment. The
numbers were getting too large. So they dropped those who had been unemployed
for a certain length of time. Then they added to the “working” those who were
forced to take part-time jobs. In simple terms, they dropped a whole bunch of
disheartened workers from the equation. Then they began adding "seasonal
adjustments" that didn't actually follow any season.

Good friends, the BLS is shining a rosy light on a dead fish. TODAY only 68.2% of
America’s workforce is working !!! That's nearly one-third of Americans who
want a job -- need a job -- have one. Our REAL unemployment percentage is above9%. In some states it’s 11 or 12%. And the real problem is, IT ISN’T GETTING BETTER!

Why do I tell you this? Because the water is getting deeper and our “lifeguards” are
all home on vacation. Even when they’re on duty, they don’t have a clue how to save
us. I'm sure many of them can't even swim. Many of them come up for “rehiring” in
November. Do something. PLEASE!

The Dreamer

Obama is a dreamer who has little regard for the reality of the world, only what he wants it to be.  He has shown this in his inability to work across party lines to solve even the most insignificant problems if they do not follow his philosophical beliefs.  Look at his background; raised by a communist grandfather, mentored by a communist in Hawaii.  A father who was a anti colonist who hated the power of the English.  His step father was an Indonesian Muslim who sent him to a Muslim school in Jakarta.  Educated by the likes of Cloward and Piven, Columbia professors who wrote the handbook for changing America to a Socialist State.  His education includes the writing’s of Sol Alinsky author of Rules For Radicals.  The same Sol Alinsky that played a major role in the education of Hilary Clinton in her radical anti war days.  The far left is so enthralled by the world of political correctness that they find it impossible to understand that there are just plain bad people in the world that need to be removed.  The threat posed by the Islamic extremists Isis is real yet we are hesitating to act aggressively to remove this murderous element.  Bombing a few pickup trucks in the desert won’t deter the threat only anger them further.  They understand one thing, power and a willingness to use it.  Our Intelligence knows where they are and our military knows how to hit them hard yet we again hesitate.  

Our Military has been systematically weakened by the forced resignations of key leaders.  The Obama administration has shown little regard for our long term safety here in the United States.  Their main objective is to create a utopian non militarized socialized state.  This hasn’t worked anywhere in the world and in fact both China and Russia have taken a path far more capitalistic than our leadership.  Large portions of the middle management, the Majors and Colonels of our Army & Marines have received pink slips at a time when we should be building our forces to protect us from this threat.  Our Naval fleet has been in a hold position for several years, no new Aircraft carriers or sub’s.  Our aircraft are designs from the 60’s & 70’s in most cases and we have pulled our forces back to the point of isolationism.

The other threat we face is the Russian aggression into The Ukraine.  Putin has his eyes on the re-establishment of the Soviet Empire and is not afraid of the timid actions of our administration.  We have procrastinated giving weapons to the Ukraine’s or have we shared intelligence with them.  Our Allies in the area have reason to be worried and find little solace in the words of a President they don’t trust to back them up.  The United States has always been the leader of the Free World and right now we have a world without a leader.

Are we headed for revolution#2

Are we headed for Revolution #2?  When the government is controlled by one ideology and it is adverse to the general opinion of the population something has to give.  We have always had our differences between party’s but the divide has now been fueled by racism and the socialistic concept that everyone should share in the wealth of the nation whether they have worked to build it or not.  The President has promoted racism in his actions whether it be the Trayvon Martin statement “ if I had a son he would look like Trayvon”., the dumb Cambridge police overreacted because the professor was black beer summit, or the latest in the Brown case, where he sent 3 White house emissaries & Al Sharpton to the funeral and  Atty. General to Holder to personally investigate and convict the officer without a proper due process.   The white liberal establishment has bought into this rhetoric lock, stock & barrel.  A black conservative or even a black middle of the roader is considered an Uncle Tom and chastised in this government.  Everyday white Americans who lived through the days of obvious racism of the 50’s and 60’s and fought to bring an end to its ugly blight on America are watching the result of all the anti poverty programs and the affirmative action plans that were supposed to bring a quality of life to the black community.  What has actually happened is that a whole segment of the society has learned to live a separate and substandard life in ghettos rather than assimilate into American society.   Each generation developing a deeper distrust for the mainstream even to the point of  allowing a subculture to dominate their thinking and their way of life.  The President and the Atty. General have used this division when it was convenient to expand their socialist policies.  In each case there were flaws in their actions;  when photo’s of the real Trayvon emerged rather than the innocent schoolboy image it painted a different picture.  When the truth came out on the Cambridge incident the President was forced to backtrack.  When the video of the strong arm robbery by Michael Brown came out they whitewashed the incident and blamed to police for besmirching the dead youth.  When looters from outside Ferguson who could care less about Michael Brown destroyed business after business in Ferguson it was blamed on the overreaction of the militarized police assembled to prevent destruction.

I know I will be chastised for these comments because I am white but I make them because
I am an American first and concerned for all Americans.  The question I ask is why have so many from the black community been able to take advantage of the education opportunities offered and become hugely successful while so many find comfort in withdrawal into this subculture of violence and anti American hatred?  Race baiting and reverse racism is to me the worse crime that has been put upon the black community by some of its own leadership and until the cycle of government dependency is broken nothing will change.  The answers lie within the community itself, by bringing an assault from within on crime and reverse racism along with proper education including Charter Schools for those who want to succeed, will go a long way to solving America’s biggest problem.  We have wasted 2 generations of black American youth on programs that have forced a dependency on government rather than creating a desire to succeed.  So many claim that they can’t find a job but fail to understand that American business will never accept an education that includes the street language of Ebonics as their method of communication.  As has been proven by the white liberal establishment, welfare, affirmative action and free phones haven’t worked, it will take a revolution from within the black community to bring beneficial change.  Let us not waste another generation, America cannot afford to miss the next Dr. King or the black scientist who may find the cure for cancer.  We’ve wasted enough brilliant minds and it’s time for all children to be able to live up to their potential.      

The real war is between all civilization & barbarism

Key thought:  It is not a territorial conflict. It is a civilization conflict, or rather a war between civilization and barbarism.

By Dr. Arieh Eldad an M.D. at Hadassah Hospital in Israel

I was instrumental in establishing the "Israeli National Skin Bank", which is the largest in the world. The National Skin Bank stores skin for every day needs as well as for wartime or mass casualty situations.

This skin bank is hosted at the Hadassah Ein Kerem University hospital in Jerusalem where I was the Chairman of plastic surgery.

This is how I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza , who was hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, after her family burned her.

Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are suspected of having an affair.

We supplied all the needed Homo-grafts for her treatment. She was
successfully treated by my friend and colleague, Prof. Lior Rosenberg and discharged to return to Gaza.

She was invited for regular follow-up visits to the outpatient clinic in Beersheva.

One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide belt. She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the hospital where they saved her life.

It seems that her family promised her that if she did that, they would forgive her.

This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land of Israel. It is not a territorial conflict. It is a civilization conflict, or rather a war between civilization and barbarism.

 

Bibi (Netanyahu) gets it, Obama does not.

Ferguson

My heart is torn for America as our politicians have capitulated to the rioters rather than wait for the results of the investigation.  I don't care if you are Black, White, Brown or Yellow the law is firm on the subject.  A person is innocent until proven guilty, you would think a Governor, State Senator and the U.S. Attorney General would know that.  The easiest way to solve the witness testimony is to give every witness a lie detector test.  If they are telling the truth they should have no problem with that.  If this becomes a railroad of the officer every police person in the country should go on strike, the next action could be against you.
