If you've ever read this blog you know I'm an expert on motels. While working I drove 75,000 miles a year and rested my eyes in some good and not so good places.
The cheapest and most ridiculous room was in Brantford, Ontario. The room was pink. The TV antenna was a coat hanger and the place was so small I had to sleep standing up. The cost was $8.00 US currency but since it was 2am in the morning I didn't want to go on a motel hunt.
When the Queen is with me I'll find a place to her liking which usually means well over a hundred dollars. When I'm by myself I go on the cheap. Heck, I've stayed in places so bad I slept in my clothes and top of the spread to save twenty.
On my drive back to Ohio from Minnesota a couple of weeks ago I happened on a place called The Falls Motel in Black River Falls, Wisconsin
Take a close look at the place. Sort of reminds you of the Bates Motel from the movie Psycho, doesn't it? This place is 100% the opposite. Plus, my family doesn't own this string of eleven rooms, either, so no one is beholden to me. Quite frankly this motel is the best place I've parked my car in recent memory.
Don't expect a full breakfast the next morning but there is a continental one in the main office. Those full menu breakfasts add ten bucks to your bill, anyway. There will be no newspapers at your door so go out and buy one.
This is what one receives: A very clean room with a queen sized bed. There is a table with free wifi. A coffee pot with coffee. A shower with clean towels. If you're a smoker each room has a table and chairs located outside the front door. The maid was named Heidi and she received a big tip for the way the room was kept. Oh, yeah, the television has 75 stations. A sign out front said there was a swimming pool but I didn't take the time to check it out. If it had been a mud hole with water it I wouldn't have been bothered because the owners are what we Midwesterners call, "God's people".
So, where exactly is this place, you ask? I'm here to help. Black River Falls is located 90 miles west of Madison on I-94 in western Wisconsin. Exit the interstate south onto Hwy. 54 and drive to the second stop light which is Hwy. 12. Turn left and go approximately one mile then turn left on E. 2nd St. and drive six blocks. The Falls Motel will be on your right. Welcome to Nirvana.
Trust me when I write you'll love this place. The best news is a room costs $47.00. Can you imagine? You will never, ever have to sleep in your clothes on top of the sheets at The Falls Motel. And that's a promise.

#Lions Lives Matter
I had decided to post one last column about Cecil the Lion but it's just too juicy a story to give up on.
The Council Bluffs Cowboy and I were exchanging emails this morning.
He told me about having to listen to an 80 year old liberal woman extoll the virtues of Bill Clinton. He wasn't certain how the conversation came up but the lady(word used loosely) blamed Monica because she took advantage of the Horn Dog. When the Cowboy mentioned 'the other women' the octogenarian wasn't familiar with any of these. Blame it on Alzheimer's.
Anyway, I sent him a note regarding our new pal, Cecil. It was fortunate for the Minnesota dentist and our population, in general, that the big guy was and where it was aka Africa. What if the lion had been a Black tribal lion but roamed the plains of St. Louis. Worse, what if the doctor's name was Sambo?
Then we'd all be subjected to rioting(especially at the renowned St. Louis Zoo) and thousands of signs reading #Black Lions Lives Matter would be on all the non-watched liberal TV shows.
Just a thought on what might be in this wacky world.

The Worst Commercial Now Playing On Television
Every time this commercial comes on TV I look for the remote for a quick mute. See if you don't agree. No family is this happy-----ever!
http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=honda+pilot+elite+commercial+song&FORM=VIRE4#view=detail&mid=24D396D1B535F0F989F024D396D1B535F0F989F0

Who will save it from a D&C? Animal rights groups up in arms as plans in the works to sell body parts to worldwide zoo organizations. Send money to 'Stop The Slaughter'.
Cecil The Lion Meets His Maker
The Eden Prairie Minn. dentist who wantonly slaughtered the African lion, Cecil, has been forced to go into hiding in fear for his life. The famous feline had been an ongoing study for many years by conservationists on the African Plains.
Already today I've been forced to read numerous articles about how the major television networks have given more coverage to the big cat than the abortion videos. This says volumes about our society and priorities.
I feel there's another subject for discussion, one much more serious than Cecil's untimely death by bow and arrow. Are you aware that when a lion takes over a pride it is his duty to kill all the offspring of that lioness that are not his? Lord knows how many of these harmless cubs have had their precious little necks snapped by this murderous predator. Did he eat the remains, too? Let's hope not or he will be the Jeffrey Dahmer of the 21st century in the animal kingdom. Cecil may be responsible for heinous crimes against his breed never before seen in the annals of history. And, I shudder to think how the new king of the pride who will now, like Attila the Hun going after the innocents, destroy Cecil's offspring. Oh, the humanity of it all.
And what about his past history with the population mammalian in general. He allows his mistresses to bring down the antelope and buffalo of the prairie while he reaps the benefits without raising a paw. Slothful is all I can say. It's a major sin don't you know.
There is blame to be placed on this story and it dates back many years. If the movie, Bambi, had not been made then it's probable there would be little animal sympathy for the fallen beast. Think not? Bambi humanized the animal kingdom for all mankind. Animals could now speak, have nurturing mothers and consciences. I wonder if they become Catholic and go to confession.
Now the news begins to come out that this story is not a big thing after all. Safari's are a boon to a countries coffers and does allow for game reserves to replenish their resources. To this date all we are receiving in the way of info comes from mothers holding signs reading, "Remember Cecil" flanked by a small child with the same old bewildered look on their cute little faces.
P.S. Is there any chance this non-story might be a deflection by the MSM away from more meaty stories?
Read an excellent commentary from Matt Walsh

Loving Life In Dublin Ohio
Vacations away from home can be a pain in the posterior unless I visit a destination never before seen. When you visit already seen places and the trip is extended over two weeks the only thoughts I have are what hell it's going to be getting home. Going to Portugal on a river cruise last summer exemplified this. I never wanted to leave the Iberian Peninsula; have never seen so many fine looking ladies in such a small area and the food was okay, too.
It's now been six days since I returned from the Minnesota lake cabin. Today is the first day I've felt 'normal'; no anxiety, no vacation fatigue, no nuthin'. I might even go for a walk----or not.
My wife returned home from the Gopher State yesterday afternoon. Hooray for me. Want to take a stab on the first thing she did? That's right. She went to bed. Her advantage is she's smaller than I so she recovers more quickly. I'll have her doing dishes, washing clothes and picking up after me in no time.
My long time friend and the best man in my wedding is going to be a grandfather today. It's a boy via his son and some other woman. The child will be named Urban in honor of Urban Meyer. He'll be called Urbie. Lucky for him the coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes isn't named Josef Stalin.
My college roomie and stock brocker from Miami, Oklahoma and his wife arrived home from a trip to the Galapagos Islands this morning. He wrote it was a majestic trip. He and I are both Phy. Ed. grads. He's been to every continent and most all the countries of the world; trips won by his good work. The both of us laugh about our college majors. Heck, we still know guys who concentrated on chemistry, math, and medicine still busting their humps trying to pay their bills and they constantly complain about it. I knew a long time ago my ability to insert a needle in a basketball in concert with an air pump would lead me to the land of milk and honey.
Who'da thunk the both of us would have done so well. I remember the president of our college saying to me as I walked across the stage at commencement, "I hope you make it in life". My thoughts then were, "Up yours, Joe McCabe". Not anymore. As my wife always says, "financial success is the best revenge".
So, now I get a good dose of rest and relaxation before I hop in the car September 10 along with two of my pals. We'll be driving back to the Minnesota lake. I very much need one of them. He's big, strong and full of energy. Someone has to haul in my dock and take the boat in for winter storage. This is when I start believing in the power of the rosary. "C'mon, Jeff, don't fail me now by backing out".
I'm back to full steam and know it because I'm playing all the right angles. Better yet, the wife gave me the go ahead to buy new hearing aids; the ones I lost. Now, if I can con her into giving me the cash out of her account I'll know I haven't lost the touch.
"MJ Hawkeye, you 'da man"!

Did You Hear The One About..........
The folks out in the State of Washington were forced to accept a $15 dollar minimum wage. Hooray for the little guy and all that jazz they(a few) might say.
The verdict is now in. Those same minimum wage folks aren't to keen on their 'movin' on up' style of life. Many of these hamburger slappers are now out of range of getting their welfare benefits so they want fewer work hours so they can get back on welfare. Isn't this absolutely delicious? Hold the mustard, please.

The Things We Clueless People Learn About Marijuana
If you asked me to differentiate between a marijuana plant from Poison Ivy I could not. They might both be green in color. I do know that I've tramped though Poison Ivy looking for lost golf balls but my friends think I'm immune. Poison Oak? That's entirely another matter.
Did you know there's a serious drought on the West Coast? Of course, you did. I was reading an article from Breitbart that may explain the situation.
"The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) estimates that illegal pot growing is drying up watersheds and causing some at-risk fisheries to approach collapse.

Which Of These Body Parts Do You Want And How Much Will You Pay
A good question. How can liberals say, #Black lives matter when 70% of all abortions are performed on Black children? Hmmm!
Finally, Back In Dublin Ohio
Words cannot express the joy in my body and mind as I returned to Dublin, Ohio from a six week hiatus. Dublin has to be the best community in America. My wife and I have many times spoken about moving to another locale then ask, "Why"? We've never lived in a better place so why take a chance.
Guess what? I lost my hearing aids in Mundelein, Illinois. That tops off one week of being irresponsible and it's depleted my bank account immensely. It's isn't a big deal, though. Replacements are only a thousand dollars and I have until February 14, 2016 to do so. Otherwise, it's going to relieve me of the 6K I originally paid for them. So, the way I figure I'm going to save five grand. Do they still spell idiot, I-D-I-O-T? I thought so.
On the way home, driving through Illinois, Indiana and, finally, Ohio I made a couple of observations. On I-94 thirty miles north of Chicago to twenty miles south of The City the speed limit is 55. I was going 70 and drivers behind me were flashing their beams because I was impeding traffic.This forced me to move to the slower right side of the freeway. In the Chicago Loop I was driving at zero miles per hour due to back ups so I was able to keep up with the rest of the nimrods.
On interstates in rural areas, and you should check this out, vehicles from out of state go much faster than cars from that state. I guess their reasoning is they're so far from home the highway patrol will cut them some slack. I'm very serious about this. Also, it doesn't work.
Indiana from Merriville to Ft. Wayne on highway 30 is loaded with small lakes; maybe two acres in size. These places have parks for those small campers. I saw one this morning that appeared to have a hundred of these mini-ghettos. How much fun can it be to have to listen to the person next to you pass gas at night? Doesn't sound like fun.
As I entered NW Ohio it was impossible not to notice the thousands of wind turbines adding confirmation that Ohio and northern Iowa have one thing in common. They've destroyed the land.
I happened to change places with a vehicle sporting Ohio state department license plates. He'd drive 70 then I'd pass him and he, in turn, would overtake me. This must have gone on for an hour or so. Anyway, he was on his cell phone the entire time and, I'm thinking, this must be against the law. But, since he's a government worker he can get away with it.
And that's the way it goes.

I'd Love To Visit Kenya
Barack is going back to the nation of his roots, I think. It is a nation totally against homosexuality.
The natives have a surprise planned to greet him.

"A naked protest. A “totally naked” protest led by about 5,000 men and women, that is. That’s how the RLP plans to counter Obama’s fabulously gay visit to the city — if he even comes to Kenya at all".
I'm sure this will upset Mr. Obama since he'll be thinking of his hot house buddies in Chicago.

Meet The Companies Who Are Financially Supporting Planned Parenthood
There are now two, count them, two videos(uncut) that have exposed how Planned Parenthood is selling body parts of aborted babies. It's tragic and, worse, equal to what the Nazis did during the Thirties and Forties.
I present a list of the companies who have donated money to Planned Parenthood now knowing what they do. Have you ever considered a boycott? If you can stomach the latest of these videos listen to the good doctor who hopes she can see enough livers to afford a Lamborghini.

More Proof: Democrats Are Nimrods
Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley said on Bloomberg’s With All Due Respect that ISIS came about because of the effects of climate change.
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/martin-omalley-isis-exists-because-of-climate-change/
Where does a sane person go with a statement like the one former Gov. of Maryland made about ISIS and climate change? I don't know about you but I'd go to the bathroom and either barf or let it come out the other end.
Seriously, don't you howl with laughter at these utterances from the Left. Good gosh almighty. They are hilarious in their stupidity.
"Hey, I have a good story for you". I was in Wisconsin a few days ago. Their were two couples and me going to dinner. They are intelligent people. The wives are with it and they were sitting in the back seat of the car. One of them said to the other, and I kid you not, "did you hear something about some Marines being killed the other day"? These people are educators in the public school system but in Wisconsin it's a toss up for knowledge. These folks know more than your average welfare recipient and they don't know about a terrorist attack on this country.
HELP!

.......And The Saga Continues
Have you ever heard the phrase, "life's a bitch then you die"?. well, I've died a thousand times in the last six days. Hara-kiri is too good for me.
If you regress back a couple of blogs you'll see how I wasted money on gasoline when I didn't need to and purchased a book I had previously bought twelve years ago.
You must understand that we live in what's called consumer planned obsolescence. It's what keeps the economy moving. Things are made so that they wear out. Batteries wear out. Clothes do the same. Food stuffs, well, that doesn't need explaining. Let's talk diapers for babies; toddlers, for instance. What if, instead of ridding themselves of human waste, they defecated Lifesavers? Then Pampers would go out of business. Televisions, radios, batteries et al are made to wear out.
In a blog written my by a couple of years ago I mentioned the fact that my carelessness and stupidity absolutely fueled this economy. It's true. Hopefully, there are many of you who can relate.
MJ Hawkeye is the king of careless. As previously mentioned I left the lake home on a Wednesday afternoon and headed for Minneapolis a three hour drive. My best friend from grade school had set up a golf outing for the next day. I didn't want to get up at 6 AM and make the trek to The Twin Cities so I decided to leave a day early. I'd grab a motel near the golf course and meet my buddy and a couple of other guys for a ten-thirty tee time. Richard, my friend, had already pre-paid the $55 fee.
I snagged a nice room at a very clean Super 8 for $79 including tax, ate dinner, went back to the room and started sawing logs. I awakened at 7 AM the next morning and the first thing that popped into my mind was, " I don't think I packed my clothes". And I was 100% correct.
The only bit of clothing in my possession was what I wore: a red t-shirt and tan shorts with one large catsup stain on it.
Believe it or not I briefly considered going to a Kohl's Department store for new threads. I had planned future trips to Central Wisconsin to see friends then onto Chicago for a three day golf outing with college fraternity friends.
Common sense prevailed. I headed the car back to the lake, the tedious three hour drive, loaded up my clothes and headed back to the golf course. I made it in time to play the last six holes and shot a smooth 51. Aren't I special?
Carelessness and stupidity. Gas= $45. Motel=$79. Golf=$55(of which I got the short shrift). Food=$12.
So, the moral of the story is this. If you think you're a real loser think of me. You'll feel a whole lot better about yourself.

How The Armed Forces Plans To Attack Domestic Terrorists
Pentagon Refuses to Arm Military Recruiters – Tells Them to “Close the Blinds”
Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno said on Friday he has no plans to arm recruiters or add security patrols to military recruitment centers in the wake of the Islamist terror attacks on unarmed, unguarded military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Thursday. Odierno basically said he doesn’t trust his troops to handle their weapons properly.
IDIOTS. It's the reason I'm going to get my conceal and carry.
Congratulations To The University of Wisconsin/Stevens Point
One of my best buddies and I made a trip to Stevens Point, Wisconsin a couple of days ago. It's such a beautiful community, very calm and peaceful. It's also home to a branch of the University of Wisconsin.
Kiki, my friend, suggested we drive by the university. As we approached Old Main I noticed three flags flying at half mast. It was my presumption they were in this position to honor the 'fallen five' from Chattanooga.
It was a fine tribute.
It's too bad someone at the White House didn't think the same. Maybe they only have ISIS flags.

Our Unarmed Forces
Kneejerk reactions to news stories of a shocking nature are not good, especially for one who puts his name on a letterhead. I've decided to forego this scenario because of the information received about the Chattanooga slaughter of today.
Professional news people would want to take a 'wait and see' attitude. Not this guy. The name of the type Mohammed is a damned good clue. The guy had a beard. ISIS tweeted, at the same time of the attack, that something was going to occur.
Folks, when I heard the news I wanted to throw up and I'm not kidding. War has come to the shores of the United States. But, it's not the first time. Have you forgotten the shoe bomber? How about the Boston bombings? The problem with these dirt balls is they didn't look like Muslim terrorists. The Ft. Hood killer looked like a bad guy but our president told us it was workplace violence. Remember?
So, in his case, move on. Nothing to see here.
When I'm distressed about the way our country is moving I call the Council Bluffs Cowboy. He's a sage of wisdom. The Cowboy was in the United States Navy so that qualifies him for a valid opinion. He has the common sense of Will Rogers and when he speaks I listen.
I called him today after hearing about the Tennessee tragedy, this war on America. He told me, and I agree, nothing will be done by this country until (1) the mainstream media denounces the terrorism. The way I figure this won't happen until the media is having a press convention and a group of terrorists opens fire and murders a couple of hundred of the MSM. They take care of their own as if they were important or something. The Cowboy said it might take ten years and who knows what will happen by then.
My good friends best idea and bit of wisdom is this. Every member of the Armed Forces should rise up and say, "I quit". I'm sick of being treated like road apples from a Palomino. These are the guys who are supposed to protect us from foreign invaders but, guess what? If thousands of guys say, "Screw you" can the government court martial all of them? I don't think so. Heck, they didn't bother to do anything with Bowe Bergdahl.
The dead Marines of Chattanooga were not allowed to carry a weapon. Did you know that? It's against federal law to carry in any government building. These guys didn't stand a chance. They were ducks on a pond with nothing to defend themselves.
The Cowboy also reminded me of something I already knew but you might not. It's called the United States rules of engagement in warfare. Can you believe this? When we're in a war we have to follow certain rules of engagement. E.g. If a soldier has the enemy in his sights and that enemy is loading his weapon our guy has to wait until the enemies weapon is ready to fire so we can make it fair. Are you kidding me?
We have the dumbest leaders in the history of mankind.
And wasn't it Obama who just last week said that we have to win the hearts and minds of ISIS instead of using warfare.
Folks, I can't even end this post with any advice. Our country, with this leadership, is in a world of hurt.

I Do Not Understand Barbara Lee
Barbara Lee is a democrat congresswoman from California. She is a Libs lib. She's so far out of the stratosphere she lives on the planet Pluto.
I'm sure you are now aware of the story regarding Planned Parenthood selling the body parts of unborn children via abortion. Ms. Lee is for it.
Here's my problem. Lee is black. 70% of abortions are performed on black babies. What am I missing?
Since Roe v. Wade became law 70% of abortions are performed on black babies.
Folks, that is a lot of votes down the drain. If you don't believe me ask the parents of Trayvon Martin.

When You Know You're Losing It
I'll pull out of our Minnesota lake home driveway sometime this afternoon. I can't say I'm sad. I've been here a month and, for me, staying in one place that long is like a jitterbug not moving for a minute. It can't be done.
In reflection there were some memories I'll take home with me to Ohio. First and foremost, I was fishless. It was a thrill to know that my son in law, granddaughter and grandson cannot say the same.
Even my daughter caught a walleye.(Don't tell anyone but she didn't have her license and promptly put it back in the water). It was my fault, though. I told her there were no fish in the lake.
There were two occurrences that prompted me to reflect on what my Wisconsin buddy always says about me: "MJ, you are a real piece of work".
Last week the boat needed fuel so I drove the seven miles into town to our one and only gas station. I went inside and told the cashier to ring up ten dollars on the pump. I reached in my left pocket, then the right one. I patted both rear end pockets and realized I'd left my wallet back at the cabin. So, I jumped in the car and made the trip back then fro to the station. I gave the lady the cash and went to get the gas container. I looked in the 'way back' then the back seat. Dang! I'd forgotten to put it in the car. It's called losing it but it gets even better or worse depending on your perspective.
Hackensack, Minnesota has what is called Sweetheart Days. It's a festival in honor of Lucette who was rumored to be either Paul Bunyon's wife, girlfriend or concubine.
Anyone, there are games for kids and supposedly a parade but the only floats I saw were pontoons driving through town on the way to Leech Lake. It's difficult bringing in the crowds when the population is only 300.
I noticed the 'Hack' library had used books out front for sale so I perused the titles. I'm a sucker for hardbacks but the selection was limited. It was then I noticed a book titled, 'Losing bin Laden'. It was written by Richard Miniter, a noted author. I thought for a minute, "I think I've read this". Then I said to no one in particular, "No, I haven't" so I approached the library lady and said, "I'll take it. How much"? She responded, "That'll be one dollar". "That", I said, "is a bargain but I can't take this for that low a price so I'll give you five bucks".
That night as I climbed into the sack I reached for my bin Laden book and opened the cover. Much to my non-surprise I saw the words, 'book is the property of MJ Hawkeye'. "Hey, it was 12 years ago I donated the book to the library. That's a long time when a person is dealing with an addled brain.
I have one great fear about my drive home to Ohio today. I hope I don't wake up in a Colorado Springs motel.
Pray for me.

Dr. Mengela Is Alive And Well In The Democrat Party
A group of pro-lifers made a visit to the office the Planned Parenthood's lead physician. Her name is Dr. Deborah Nucatola. Did I mention these people secretly filmed an interview? Between munching on her luncheon salad Nucatola explained how the body parts of aborted babies were being sold to the highest bidders. Livers were going for $300. They're the most in demand.
The abortionists go to great pains to make certain the internal organs are spared. To heck with the extremities and the brain. There isn't a market for them.
For some reason and I don't know why but when I heard this story I was reminded of how incensed the Lefties were when it was divulged that baby seals were having their brains bashed in with clubs. These do-gooders were mortified at the slaughter of these innocent animals. I'm sure you recall seeing blood stained snow and ice from the northern sea areas. The purpose was to gain their virgin fur. Sort of like garnering body parts. Is there a correlation here? Hmmm!

"Barack, It's Because They Commit More Crimes"
Tuesday the NAACP annual convention, President Barack Obama said our criminal justice system is “not as fair as it should be” to African-American and Latino men. Obama said, “African-Americans and Latinos make up 30 percent of our population. They make up 60 percent of our inmates. About one in every thirty-five African American men, one in eighty-eight Latino men is serving time right now. Among white men that number is one in two hundred and fourteen.

Scientists Say, Mini-Ice Age By 2030. Obama Craps His Pants
A study by researchers at Great Britain’s Northumbria University say that competing physical cycles within our sun will cancel each other out in the next solar cycle, resulting in a “mini Ice Age” like one that gripped the Northern Hemisphere from 1645 to 1715.
According to the Telegraph, a team of solar researchers led by Professor Valentina Zharkova say that they have cracked a riddle that has long puzzled scientists and enabled them to predict solar activity with 97 percent accuracy.

Are You An Obese Lesbian
This post is ripe for comment. You won't have to be that creative. My grandchildren could come up with some doozies.
In it's infinite wisdom the feds have spent $3.5 million of your tax dollars to find out why lesbians are fat. Where does one begin?
I don't think this is fair to lesbo's. After all, I know hundreds of guys who are the size of elephants. Have you ever been to a Golden Coral? It's like hog heaven. It's a scene reminiscent of wild dogs in Africa scarfing down a buffalo in a matter seconds.
Conversely, a government study shows that gay men are much more diminutive that heterosexual men. I'm sure there's a reason for Bruce being a twerp and effeminate but I'll leave it up to you to decide for yourself. Maybe, when his cells began to be formed in the womb is when he became, you know what I mean, different.
It's my contention this is massive discrimination against females. I believe it's imperative a movement begin and I'm naming Rosie O'Donnell to be the chief spokesperson of the group.
How about emblazoning over the gay flag the words, "You are what you eat".
Folks, it's only a beginning.

Liberals--Can't Live With Them. Can't Leave Them On The Curb To Die
The list of things 15-year-olds are not legally allowed to do in Oregon is long: Drive, smoke, donate blood, get a tattoo — even go to a tanning bed.
But, under a first-in-the-nation policy quietly enacted in January that many parents are only now finding out about, 15-year-olds are now allowed to get a sex-change operation. Many residents are stunned to learn they can do it without parental notification — and the state will even pay for it through its Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan.

Sanctuary Cities For Illegal Aliens
Days after Mexican illegal alien Francisco Sanchez confessed to murdering Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco, the Center for Immigration studies published a highly-detailed map revealing the counties, cities, and even entire states where officials defy U.S. immigration law.

New Doc's Show IRS, FBI, White House and DOJ Planned Attacks On Conservatives
“These new documents show that the Obama IRS scandal is also an Obama DOJ and FBI scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The FBI and Justice Department worked with Lois Lerner and the IRS to concoct some reason to put President Obama’s opponents in jail before his reelection. And this abuse resulted in the FBI’s illegally obtaining confidential taxpayer information. How can the Justice Department and FBI investigate the very scandal in which they are implicated?”

Life In Minnesota For An Illegal Alien
Off the cuff I've come to the conclusion I'm an illegal alien in the state of monster mosquitos and horrendously high taxes. In other words, I don't fit in.
First, I don't speak 'Up Nort'. It is an acquired skill and found primarily due north of Brainerd to the Canadian border, from Moorhead on the west to Duluth on the east. At one time I wanted to talk like a native but then, after some consideration, came to the realization I didn't want the moniker of illiterate.
I've been to the lake for two weeks and that's enough. This dude is a city boy. It's 2.3 miles from our lake place to the main road. My grandson and I had to wait fifteen minutes for a mama skunk and her single kit to leave our gravel drive. The striped pest sat and stared at us for what seemed like an eternity then nudged their kid which didn't want to move. I'm smart enough not to drive around those things and have the car sprayed. It takes a new coat of paint from Earl Scheib to get rid of the smell.
Since I've lived in Dublin, Ohio I have not seen one skunk. Not one.
New York has nothing on Minnesota when it comes to the price of a pack of cigarettes. They go for ten bucks in the county where Minneapolis is located, nine dollars everywhere else. "Hey, somebody has to pay for the new professional sports facilities so why not the sinners". The way I figure is this. If God didn't want man to smoke then He wouldn't have made the tobacco plant. And furthermore, he wouldn't have placed John Rolfe on this planet to cure the damned leaf.
I'm now 14 days into being 'fishless' on this 5,000 acre body of water. It's called Ten Mile Lake but it's other name is the Dead Sea II. Did you know native American Indians can fish anyway possible for walleye in Minnesota and there's no limit. They better not come to my lake. They'd starve to death.
I've enjoyed having my three Arizona grandchildren with us especially when they are sleeping.
My life is twenty-four seven of, "Grandpa, can we do this, can we do that can, I have this, do you have any money? I am being facetious about this aspect of family. They're fun(most of the time).
One last item that rankles me about Minnesota. Ohio, which has no inland natural lakes of any kind, has passed a law saying all fisherman over the age of 62 do not need a license. This would include Lake Erie.
In Minnesota, a person does not need a fishing license after the age of ninety-one. I know why. No one lives that long.
In Minnesota the Democrats rule. God only knows why but they do. Maybe it has something to do with it being a welfare state.

Words Of Wisdon From Our Leader Regarding ISIS
"Ideologies are not defeated with guns; they’re defeated by better ideas.”
BHO aka Alfred E. Neumann
The embarrassing part of the quote is I have family members, some friends and several acquaintances who thinks this guy defecates banana splits.
As for his quote, think Hitler, Hirohito and Mussolini. Think atom bomb, Harry Truman. If it wasn't for true leaders at the time you and I might be saying, Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
As an example here is headline I snagged from today's Associated Press:
"ISIS Crucifies Dozens for Breaking Ramadan Fast". Tell me, what kind of idea could a guy come up with to defeat this process?

State Attorney Generals Could Overturn King vs. Burwell
For the heck of it let's say, while a high school basketball coach, I told prospective players they might not make the team if they had red hair. It seems to me those red headed boys would take me to court and get my thought process overturned. If they didn't want to go that route they and their parents might have their guard up when it came to cut time start planning my termination.
It might behoove readers of this blog to do something few if any of us do, take action. Mostly, when we're upset about the enactment of a law we sit on our butts and complain and that's the end of it.
I received a forward from a buddy regarding the recent King vs. Burwell Supreme Court decision allowing for gay marriage, polygamy, bestiality, child abuse sexually, etc.
Did you know that Supreme Court justices, Kagan and Ginsburg performed same sex marriages prior to their decisions to legalize the new marriage laws? So, why should any of us have been mystified at the outcome?
If each and every concerned citizen contact their state attorney general he or she could petition the courts to make 'null and void' the Supreme Court decision. I like that phrase 'null and void'. It's what those southern states used as justification to join the Confederacy. They felt the federal government was getting to 'big for their breeches' and didn't appreciate taking orders from the bullies in DC.
As one of my fishing buddies says when looking for a good walleye spot, "seems like a plan".

Say Good-bye To Kate Steinle
Ms. Kate Steinle and her family were touring Pier 14, a popular tourist spot in San Francisco. Kate's now dead, shot and murdered by a piece of illegal immigrant scum.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/259364/progressive-policies-murdered-kate-steinle-matthew-vadum
Not to worry. It wasn't a planned terrorist attack, only a random act of violence by Francisco Sanchez.
Someone should tell Mr. Obama and all associated with the border that the heinous killer has been deported five times and has seven prior felony convictions in the US. Oh, he's not allowed to carry a firearm, either. Don't you love it when our gun laws do the job they're intended?
I'm only trying to do my part. You know, being an unfeeling racist and all.
Thanks to Weasel Zippers for the story

Public Schools Shoot Themselves In The Head
In thinking about the title for this blog piece I felt writing, "shooting themselves in the foot" was too trite. It needed greater impact so I improvised.
I'm quoting from CNS News: " Beginning in seventh grade, public school students in the Virginia suburbs outside Washington, D.C., will be taught about “sexual orientation terms,” including heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality – “and the gender identity term transgender,” according to a newly adopted sex education curriculum"
Some of you folks, especially on the Left will think, hooray and hallelujah. Not this guy. You see, I'm a product of private education be it many years ago. Regardless, the values imparted then are still with me even after sixty some years. We were wild little scamps at times but would never have given thought to violating the sexual privacy of prepubescent boys, girls, dogs, cattle or frogs.
The recent Supreme Court ruling on homosexuality has a positive to it. There have to be hundreds of thousands of families with children who will say, "I'm not putting up with this crap!" There is an alternative to forced sexual education. Let me illustrate further about how public school administrators are destroying the family unit. In Seattle, Washington 13 public schools are now providing the implementation of IUD's into females as young as age 12 WITHOUT PARENTEL CONSENT. Cute, huh?
During the last decade the demise of the private school system has become the norm due to higher tuition fees. Sadly, it's about priorities; either it's a new boat or a conscience free and thriving mind for your kiddies. Specifically, I'm speaking of Catholic schools. Granted, there are some who will toe the government line but in many cases parents have school choice as to what is being taught to their offspring. Think about it. Do you want to hear this from a second grade public school teacher imparted to your child, especially your son: "Tommy, this is called a tampon. It deals with what's called a menstrual cycle. Tomorrow we'll talk about the best time of the month to 'do it'.
So, what is wonderful and good is the Catholic schools will see a rise in enrollment. Tuitions will decline and your kids won't be subjected to "Tom loves Bob" books.
If a teacher does force objectionable material down the kids throat the school can take action and the result, taking a phrase from Donald Trump, will be, "You're fired!"

I'm quoting from CNS News: " Beginning in seventh grade, public school students in the Virginia suburbs outside Washington, D.C., will be taught about “sexual orientation terms,” including heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality – “and the gender identity term transgender,” according to a newly adopted sex education curriculum"
Some of you folks, especially on the Left will think, hooray and hallelujah. Not this guy. You see, I'm a product of private education be it many years ago. Regardless, the values imparted then are still with me even after sixty some years. We were wild little scamps at times but would never have given thought to violating the sexual privacy of prepubescent boys, girls, dogs, cattle or frogs.
The recent Supreme Court ruling on homosexuality has a positive to it. There have to be hundreds of thousands of families with children who will say, "I'm not putting up with this crap!" There is an alternative to forced sexual education. Let me illustrate further about how public school administrators are destroying the family unit.

Nothing To See Here. Move Along
This is quite strange. I had to go to an alternative news source to find this story. In other words, there wasn't anything from the MSM.
A month ago the man shown in the picture, a native of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania was walking through a park. He had sixty dollars in his pocket.
David Poole was attacked by six individuals and has been in a coma for a month. Doctors have told his family there is no chance of recovery and they should begin planning his funeral. Somehow, a large rock bashed into his head.
No one has been arrested but of the six perpetrators one was described as having a large Afro. Far be it from me to profile but 'Skinheads' and Mexicans don't usually sport this style of cut.
Below is a photo of the family. Nothing to see here. Move along.

What On Earth Could Chelsea Say
Capitalism is high on my priority list. As Calvin Coolidge once said, "The business of America is business". I like that. Everyone should have the opportunity to achieve greatness through the skills God gave them. Finis.
In 2014 the University of Missouri-Kansas City wanted Hillary to speak. It would be a ten minute talk, followed by a twenty minute Q&A. After this Hillary would tour the school for a half hour. All well and good until the presidential candidate quoted her fee of $275,000 large.
Gulp! As badly as UMKC wanted her majesty to speak they couldn't come up with the funds. So, why not get the next best thing available. An invite went out to Chelsea to take mommy's place. The format would be the same but the princess would have to accept the offer of $65,000----and she did.
You've heard the old saying, "You pay for what you get". My question is, "What did they get"?
Most of us know Chelsea was awarded a $600,000 contract by NBC to be their roving reporter on puff pieces. I mean, how bad can it be when she had to interview the Geiko mascot? Lucky for her she was abruptly dropped from the network and replaced by one of the Bush girls who has done a magnificent job. Chelsea can stay in her $10 million dollar NY penthouse doing nothing while collecting her cash.
So, here's a girl in her mid-thirties who was asked to speak at a university to say 'nothing'. I could do this and, humbly speaking, do a much better job. I've been around, seen things, done things, interacted with the lower, middle and upper classes and, in general, have much to impart. As an example, I know how to catch, clean and cook a Bullhead fish. Can Chelsea do this? It's highly doubtful.
And for all this I earned $28,000 as a high school teacher and coach.
As far as I can tell Chelsea has three accomplishments to her name: she attended Stanford, gave birth to a baby and was able to survive a faux marriage put forth by her parents. Who knows, maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all.
