Unfortunately, there was a significant family issue this weekend. Because of its nature, if I were a religious person, I would not be blogging this week. But I\’m not a religious person, and the personal value of this blog is therapy of a sort (i.e. it feels good to get things off my chest, and provides a release from something unpleasant that is going...
I don\’t know a thing about the quality of insurance USAA offers to military veterans. But I know that I love its latest commercial: USAA Military Auto Insurance TV Spot, \’Thank You...
The term “canary in the coal mine” comes from the fact that miners used to bring caged canaries into mines because, if there were noxious gasses in those mines (carbon monoxide, methane, etc.) the canary would die more quickly than the miners would…and they would then know to get out of the mine before it happened to them. Neil Abercrombie is the Governor of...
As regular readers of this blog know, I have pointed out, several times over at least the past year that the reason we did not have a “Status of Force Agreement” (an agreement to leave a residual military force in Iraq) – one which would likely be preventing its current meltdown, and looming takeover by the murdering lunatics of ISIS – is that President Obama...
Gaza is exploding again – because hamas decided to bomb Israel and raise it\’s own body count (to the delight of Israel haters, who can then blame it on the country which reacts rather than the terrorists who instigate the reaction). Syria is up to about 175,000 dead, and counting – rapidly – while ISIS continues to run its international terrorist-murder enterprise from...
The cease-fire between Israel and hamas-controlled Gaza is over, though Israel agreed to extend it. Why was it not extended? Here is your answer, excerpted from Elad Benari\’s article at israelnationalnews.com:. Hamasspokesman Sami Abu Zuhri on Friday laid the blame on Israel for theceasefire in Gaza not being extended, saying the Jewish state did notprovide a clear response...
Did you ever get shingles? For your sake, I hope not. According to the Mayo Clinic, “shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus -the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you\’ve had chickenpox, the virus lies inactive in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.” In other words, if you have had...
The New York Times\’ Peter Baker wrote a news article after President Obama authorized the airlifting of supplies to Iraq\’s Yazidi sect – tens of thousands of whom are trapped by the terrorist lunatics of ISIS and, without help will all be dead in a matter of days. Here are the first three paragraphs of Mr. Baker\’s article – in rust, with my comments in...
As ISIS continues its campaign of 10th century-quality campaign of hatred and butchery of human beings, have you read, or seen, any condemnation of its activities by Muslim groups in the United States? I know I haven\’t. But, in fairness, it is possible that their heartfelt concern for the Christians, and Muslims who do not shareISIS\’s beliefs just has not been reported. So I...
No sooner did I support President Obama for his bombing of ISIS positions in Iraq – presumably in an effort to save however many of the Yazidi sect it has not already butchered – then he comes out and tells us, thus ISIS that he will not put any troops on the ground. Why in hell did he do this? Why in hell would he announce the United States military strategy to the people we...
This blog – with the following excerpt from Will Payne\’s article for the London Daily Mail, is meant to scare the crap out of you. I hope it does: \’We\’regetting overrun and the danger is increasing… we need to open oureyes\’: Sheriff leading probe into murder of Border Patrol agentclaims armed illegal immigrants in military fatigues have beenspotted on...
ISIS – the more-radical-than-radical Islamic faction, continues to lay siege to tens of thousands of Yazidi Kurds who, having fled to a mountain, are trapped with no way to get food or water. It is being reported that President Obama has ordered humanitarian airlifts to keep them alive, and has authorized – but not yet ordered so far as I know – air strikes on ISIS...
Today\’s Quote Of The Day mes to us from Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY). In March, when a number of more moderate Republican incumbents were being challenged by tea party-backed candidates, Mr. McConnell said this: “I think we are going to crush them everywhere. I don\’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.” Well, as of yesterday, when...
The Obama administration apparently has another email scandal. As you know, lois “liar” lerner and at least a half dozen of the people around her somehow lost years of emails which could have exonerated or incriminated them in the IRS scandal. (You\’ll pardon my skepticism, but when one person\’s emails could exonerate or incriminate them are lost, I suspect...
….the lower the poll numbers go. Here is the latest, from the Kaiser Family Foundation poll, which has tracked ObamaCare for over four years: Wouldn\’t you think that, if ObamaCare was working well, the more experience people had with it the higher favorability would go? So what do you say if the unfavorable ratings rise to their all-time high? I know someone (this is...
