A Sprint To The Finish

All Things Iowa



There will be great relief in the Hawkeye State after tomorrow with the general population. The media will have left the every one of 99 counties as will the presidential candidates and their minions.

Fox ran a segment this morning, 'a man on the street', with Fox's Steve  Doocey, questioning New Yorkers about Iowa. You might already imagine the questioning. Doocey held up an identifying map. Most of those questioned selected Idaho. Of course, these are the same people who confused the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

I'll present one significant bit of information to you that best explains my great affinity for the State of my birth. Iowa leads the nation, the United States of America, with a literacy rate of 99%. California, New York and the other egghead States weren't even close. It must have something to do with the water; that or a good educational system.

We usually keep that bit of info on the QT; don't want to embarrass the other 49. I've always told people two things happened when I moved from Iowa to Ohio. The intelligence quotients of both states went up dramatically.

A lot of famous folks, as in every other geographic area, came from my State. John Wayne is one of the most famous of all. I like to think one of the most beautiful actresses of all-time came from Iowa, Denison, to be exact. Her name was Donna Belle Mullenger but you all know her as Donna Reed.

She was hot before hot was in vogue.

Do You Want An Easy A? Attend The University of Kentucky

It counts towards a degree — really.

Students at the University of Kentucky now have the distinct privilege of being able to get college credit for eating tacos. According to Munchies, the university is offering an undergraduate class called “Taco Literacy: Public Advocacy and Mexican Food in the US South,” and the professor behind it wants to use tacos as an avenue for students to learn more about how people can forge social connections through food. http://www.eater.com/2016/1/28/10860752/taco-class-university-of-kentucky

When I first saw the headline I thought the A might be given for wearing shoes to class but this is even better.

Speaking of college classes there is a report issued this week telling us that college students spend 20% of class time on their cell phones texting.

I don't blame the students. It's the professors who are the nimrods. How embarrassing it must be that the prof's are so boring they can't keep the attention of a kid for 50 minutes. "Oh, I long for my days in the classroom when I could absolutely destroy such childish behavior with a witty dressing down".

Obama Lied About Hillary. So, What Else Is New?

According to a new report from the New York Times, the State Department announced that 18 emails between President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will be withheld from release to the public. These emails “had been sent through Hillary Clinton’s private computer server” on her private email.

Further, when asked directly by 60 Minutes, the President again denied any knowledge of it at all.
“Did you know about Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server?” 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft asked the President. “No,” he responded. “While she was Secretary of State?” he pressed. “No,” President Obama again answered.

What's going on here? The next thing we'll find out is Obama lied to us about Lois Lerner and the IRS.

Jam Packed Crowd For Hillary In Dubuque

It'a A Bizarro World

What a beautiful gorgeous morning met me as I walked out our front door this morning. The sun shone brightly and this being January the temperatures at mid-morning were already in the forties.
Folks, I talkin' about Ohio not southern Georgia.

Regardless, it's getting close to Valentine Day. With ten grandchildren and a bevy of others to consider I wanted to get my cards early. Thank the Lord for the Dollar Store. The strange part of buying cards from this store is they are all American Greeting cards, the same ones that cost $3.99 at Krogers. Most of the ones I purchased were two for one at a dollar. Sixteen cards came to $11.00 What a bargain.

More importantly, there were fifteen human souls in the store and I was the only one, aside from the cashiers, who spoke English. I'm as serious as a case of leprosy about this. It was me who was a foreigner in my home land.

So, what's this 'Bizarro World thingy I was writing about? You know what it us, right? It comes from Superman comics where up is down, right is left; everything is bass ackwards.

In this week's mail I received a six page flyer from my Medicare supplier, Humana. In it, from past memory, was a listing of all the meds I had purchased in the last year. It explained my benefits and perceived changes in the law applying to me for the next fiscal year.

Did you notice I wrote, 'from past memory'? There's a solid reason for this. The entire six pages was typed in Spanish! I was embarrassed by this. Did the government already pass a law saying homegrown non-Spanish speaking whites with blue eyes were required to speak and read the native language of El Chapo? If so, it's news to me.

I did check the mailing address envelope to see if it was addressed to Miguel but it wasn't.

I think, in this 'Bizarro World, somebody is toying with me.

Hillary Hits An Iowa Bowling Alley To Speak To The Common Folk

Speaking at an Iowa bowling alley to presumably relay to the common folk, Hillary Clinton challenged Republicans to stand up for the wealthy against “our own people.”
Because Republicans you see are all rich people, while Democrats relate to the downtrodden.

Who exactly are “our own people?”  As President, wouldn’t Hillary represent all Americans – from the wealthiest to the poorest?
According to an analysis by Money Nation, Hillary’s net-worth is roughly $31.3 million while her husband adds an additional $80 million. http://menrec.com/clinton-asks-republicans-will-you-stand-with-the-wealthy-against-our-own-people/

Trump Is No Reagan Republican

In the seven year history of this blog I have never printed the entire text of one persons views. In this case I am making an exception. To place only snippets would not do it the justice it deserves. Lately, it has been fashionable for establishment Republicans to come to the aid and support of Donald Trump.

Michael Reagan, staunch conservative and eldest son of Ronald Reagan gives his views on Mr. Trump and why has vacillation on the issues makes him unqualified to be our next president.

From Michael Reagan:

Mr. Trump, I knew Ronald Reagan. And you’re no Ronald Reagan!

Of course, I am stealing that line — with a twist.

Donald Trump shouldn’t mind. He’s been stealing my dad for his own purposes. Trump frequently invokes Ronald Reagan’s name to defend his sudden, 180-degree switch from being a life-long, pro-Clinton Democrat to a Reagan Republican.

Both men did make a switch, but almost all the similarities between the two end there. Ronald Reagan’s odyssey from Hollywood liberal to conservative backer took place over almost two decades.

Starting with his 1964 “Time for Choosing” speech that galvanized Americans for Barry Goldwater, dad began a 16-year effort of crisscrossing America to support conservative candidates for office. My dad also served eight years as California’s governor. When he ran for President, he had a proven conservative track record.

Donald Trump doesn’t have one. In fact, Trump still can’t explain his sudden change from being a liberal Democrat. When dad ran in 1980, Trump donated the maximum amount to Jimmy Carter. As the Wall Street Journal reported, Trump also donated to a PAC for Walter Mondale, who ran against dad in 1984.Trump has criticized some candidates for their indiscretions made during their childhood. But what can you say for a grown adult who supported both Carter and Mondale over Ronald Reagan?

One of my dad’s most important lessons to me was how to uncover a phony. He told me not to judge people by what they say; judge them by what they actually do. As President, dad used this “trust but verify” principle on the Soviets and it worked. Voters today should apply Reagan’s verify principle on Trump.

During the 2008 election, Trump told CNN that he wanted President George W. Bush impeached. Then, during Obama’s first year in the White House, after he rammed through Congress a $800 billion stimulus and proposed a radical health care takeover, Trump praised the President, saying he was “amazing” and “truly phenomenal.”

Obama’s then chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel was a player in passing Obamacare. Rahm eventually left the White House to run for Chicago’s mayor. In 2010, Trump actually donated $50,000 to Rahm’s mayoral campaign! Just last year Trump told “60 Minutes” he wants single-payer health care like they have in Canada and Britain. It’s nothing less than socialized medicine.

For most of his life Trump had been a Democrat, backing strong gun control and abortion rights. Today he says he’s for the Second Amendment and pro-life. But when asked who he’d like for the Supreme Court, he suggested his sister, a sitting federal judge. It turns out she’s liberal and pro-choice.

Trump also donated to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. In 2012, after she had served almost four years as Secretary of State, Trump had nothing but praise for her. He told CNN: “I think she does a good job ... The record of Hillary Clinton and how did she do as Secretary of State, probably above and beyond everybody else.” Folks, this was in 2012.

Still, at some point Trump says he became a conservative. I am not sure when. In 2012, Trump sharply criticized Mitt Romney.

“He had a crazy policy of self-deportation which was maniacal,” Trump said of Romney’s plan for the nation’s illegal immigrants.

“It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote,” Trump said. “He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”

Trump’s own plan today calls for mass deportation. Go figure. I almost need a chart to keep tabs on Trump’s ever-changing positions.

This past September, Trump was the first Republican candidate to call for the U.S. to open its doors to Syrian refugees. He told Bill O’Reilly, “I hate the concept of it, but on a humanitarian basis, with what’s happening, you have to.”

He quickly backtracked on that. Then he came out for a total ban of all Muslims into the U.S.

I don’t doubt for a second the Donald is a great and funny entertainer. He’s always playing to his audience. Today, it’s Reagan conservatives. Tomorrow, I am afraid, it may be liberals in Washington. Come Election Day, should Reagan Republicans vote for Donald Trump?

Recently, I tweeted the answer: “You can’t be a Trump Republican and a Reagan Republican. It’s time to choose.”

Post 70th Birthday Blues

It is the day after. Wasn't there a movie made titled, 'The Day After'? It might have dealt with a post nuclear attack on the United States. Yesterday, I experienced my own personal disaster and I am now paying for it. It was my birthday and I ate the entire supply of Kroger and Giant Eagle foods in Dublin, Ohio as part of the celebration

Two years ago this March I forced myself to jump onto the bathroom scale. Always remembering the quote from Bronc in Parker, Arizona "Eat it today wear it tomorrow" the outcome I was about to see was more than inevitable. The scale arrow finally settled on 220 lbs.

When I make up my mind to do something I do it. There's no messing around by MJH. It's an all or nothing with me.

Long story short, from March 1 to May 25 I was at a svelte 189. In other words, I was a stallion.

As kids from the early 70's told us, "Today is the first day of the rest of my life" and it will be, at least for the next three months. I'm actually only around 205 but my butt is sagging and I've brought the mansierre(apologies to Kramer) out of hibernation so I'm ready to begin the journey to bodily respectability.

The first three days are will be the worst in this quest since these are most important in breaking bad habits. Last night, as a part of my birthday feast, I asked the Queen to get me a red velvet cake for dessert. She doesn't eat that junk but I did---all of it. Then, just before bedtime I knocked of eight chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk--skim, of course, to cut down on calories.

Losing unwanted fat is actually quite easy: no white food of any kind and no sugar. Oh yeah, I have to drink an ocean of water every day which is bothersome because I'll be spending most of my day looking at the urinal.

So, "On my mark, get set, go! I hope you won't be seeing so much of me in 8-12 weeks.

Feds Ressurect Gestapo Tactics Against Its Citizens

"The soft-spoken but defiant co-leader of a group of protesters at a wildlife refuge in Oregon was killed Tuesday as FBI and Oregon State police moved in to arrest ringleader Ammon Bundy and several other self-styled militia members.
Arizona resident Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, 56, of Cane Beds, Ariz., was shot and killed during the encounter. The FBI did not release his name, but his death was reported by The Oregonian and NBC News" http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/01/27/1-dead-feds-arrest-oregon-protest-leader-ammon-bundy/79392112/

Naturally, liberals will and have been saying these ranchers are violating federal law and deserved what they got. To that I say "Hogwash". These ranchers had grazing lands taken away from them by the feds. In case you forget, grazing lands feed cattle which then go to the people in the way of food.

If you believe I'm overreacting consider two other instances of government intrusion into the lives of citizens resulting in needless deaths: (1) Ruby Ridge and (2) Waco where sixty children were incinerated by the Clinton Gestapo. If you're too young to remember these incidents look them up.

Bill's First Mistress: "If You Read I Committed Suicide Don't Believe It"



A beauty queen who claims she was Bill Clinton's mistress has posted a dramatic warning on Facebook that if she dies by 'suicide' no-one should believe it - because Hillary had previously 'beat me down so I'd lose everything'.
 
Sally Miller, a one-time Miss Arkansas, warned that she believed she could be killed for revealing what she said were threats and intimidation by Clinton allies concerned that their methods would be revealed to voters.
 
'Please share. Consider this a warning. Trust me, no one is safe,' Miller wrote.

What If Donald Trump Is The Messenger Of The Antichrist

I was listening to Glenn Beck this morning. It's not normal procedure for me but when driving long distances a diversion of the mind is sometimes needed.

A huge Beck fan I am not. He seems to be a decent Christian man but he can also be the 'Doctor of Death and Gloom'.

It was half way though his show when he played a three minute clip of Donald Trump denigrating a variety of people, on the Republican and Democrat sides. Trump discussed what is wrong with America and it seemed every sentence had an 'I' in it. He talks about himself more often that Barack Obama does. Not a good thing.

So, it hit me like a sledgehammer between the eyes. What if Trump is one of the leaders who pave the way for the Antichrist. The Bible promises there will be a few who lead us to the all out war to determine who goes to heaven or hell when the real Antichrist makes it on the scene.

I don't want to say Trump is 'the guy' but he does give me pause. As for the quote below he has the last sentence down pat.

The name "antichrist" is only found in 1 John 2:18, 2:22, 4:3, and 2 John 7. The Apostle John was the only Bible writer to use the name antichrist. Studying these verses, we learn that many antichrists (false teachers) will appear between the time of Christ's first and Second Coming, but there will be one great antichrist who will rise to power during the end times, or "last hour," as 1 John phrases it. He will deny that Jesus is the Christ. He will deny both God the Father and God the Son. He will be a liar and a deceiver.

Something To Consider About The Des Moines Register's Endorsements

The Des Moines Register, once a great newspaper, is now located in the trash heap of socialism.
Last week the Register came out with their endorsements for the presidential election.

For the Democrats they stupidly nominated a person, Hillary Clinton, who should take up residence in Leavenworth. For the Republicans they selected Marco Rubio. I wonder why not The Donald or Mr. Cruz.

Regardless, the track record for the Register in selecting nominees and presidents is less than stellar.
Since 1988 only George W. Bush was selected. Their epitome of stupidity was when they came out for tah-dah, Jesse Jackson.

STOP THE PRESSES: MJ Hawkeye Turned Seventy Today

As I lay on my man cave couch last evening the last rays of the January 25 sun shown through the window. That day was my last day of being 'kind of cool'. I gazed at one leaf hanging on a bush outside. Remembering O'Henry's, 'The Last Leaf', I jumped up, grabbed a bottle of Gorilla Glue, went outside and glued that sucker on tight so it would make it through the winter.

Who knows. If I hadn't played with nature I might not be writing this today. Anyway, since I slid out of the womb seventy years ago today(12:15 am to be exact) I've been contemplating the inevitability of aging.

Memories flashed back to when I turned 34. I thought it outstanding that my longevity and beaten Jesus. Fifty was good because I still had the ability to jog. Sixty was excellent since I became thinner and still had more hair that a Wooly Mammoth. The jury is out on turning seventy. My goal for the next ten years is simple. I want to be breathing. Hopefully, in ten years, I'll be able to organize cogent thoughts. I'd like to be able to see and be steady of hand. As a bonus I'd like to continue with MJ Hawkeye; being able to type and not see saliva drool running onto the computer keyboard. Amen.

Always leave 'em laughing, someone said. I'll give a try. I've added a bonus list of benefits for we septuagenarians.

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run into a burning building.
4. People call at 9 PM and ask, 'Did I wake you?'
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat dinner at 4 P.M.
9. You can live without sex but not without glasses.
10. You enjoy hearing about other peoples operations.
11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
12. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
13. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
14. You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
15. You sing along with elevator music.
16. Your eyes won't get much worse.
17. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
18. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
19. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
20. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
21. You can't remember who sent you this list

Who Is Dick Morris And Why Does Anyone Care

It seems during this election cycle we're bringing back many people we long thought dead, or not dead but out of mind.

Dick Morris is one of those dead risen. He was a personal adviser to Bill and Hillary during their terms in office so he knows where the bodies reside. Then, he abruptly quit and eventually went to work for Fox News. I may be wrong but when it was exposed he liked sucking his wife's toes he was let go.

Morris has written a couple of tell-all books about the Clinton's. Who in their circle hasn't? Will it make a difference in how libs think? I doubt it. After all, who can they hang their hats on, FDR?

Regardless, Morris was in the news this morning with another juicy tidbit. I love this stuff.



Friday on OraTV’s “Politicking,” former advisor to President Bill Clinton, Dick Morris said it was then-first lady Hillary Clinton’s “Nixonian” attempt to attack the woman Bill Clinton victimized and sexually harassed by hiring detectives to dig for dirt in their lives Hillary could use against them to smear their character.

Obama Wants To Mandate Birth Control For These People



Insanity reigns supreme in the Obama administration. After lying to the American people; ObamaCare will not cover abortions, the Loser-in-Chief is forcing these Catholic nuns to purchase birth control medicine.

Chances are high they won't need it. I don't think I could even snag a date with any one of these good sisters. Menopause hit these women over two in the 1990's. No matter, their case is going before the Supreme Court.

Lord only knows how it will turn out but I can make this promise. The decision will be 5-4. So much for the courts being blind to justice.

Hill And Bill: It's Not A Photoshop

Hillary Clinton in blackface - photo media will never show

Ever see this photo of Hillary Clinton in blackface? Many years ago, Hillary and Bill Clinton were actually a couple. They’d go to parties, drink, and pose for photos. Hillary Clinton still drinks, and Bill Clinton still goes to parties, but without Hillary. This Hillary Clinton in blackface photo would have been deemed racist if any GOP candidate how a similar one with their wife or girlfriend. Pretty much everything these days is racist unless a Democrat does it. http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2016/01/24/hillary-clinton-in-blackface-photo/

"Hey Donald, You And Hillary Are Exactly Alike"

Sioux Center, Iowa (CNN)Donald Trump boasted Saturday that support for his presidential campaign would not decline even if he shot someone in the middle of a crowded street.
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said at a campaign rally here. http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/23/politics/donald-trump-shoot-somebody-support/index.html

5 Ways Al Gore Is Running A Global Warming Racket


One, Earth hasn’t warmed in nearly 20 years.

Two, predictions that climate change — the rebranding of “global warming” when it turned out that predicted warming wasn’t happening — would cause catastrophic weather damage haven’t panned out.

Three, despite all the self-congratulatory international conferences and pseudo-agreements, the world has done nothing to “fight global warming.”

Four, in the mid- to late-2000s, Gore repeatedly predicted that an ice-free Arctic Ocean was coming soon. But as usual, his fortune-telling was wrong. By 2014, Arctic ice had grown thicker and covered a greater area than it did when he made his prediction.

Five, Gore’s movie, which somehow won an Oscar, was found by a British judge to contain nine errors. The judge said it could not be shown to students unless it included a notice pointing out the errors.

Remember this. Al Gore told us ten years ago we'd all be dead on January 25 2016

Hillary On Emails: There's No 'There' There'--7 Smoking Guns

By perfectly reasonable standards, there are so many smoking guns(on emails) now that Hillary is starting to resemble Annie Oakley.

A review by Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough found emails that contain “special access program” (SAP) information, which is available only on a “need to know” basis because exposure could put a human asset at risk.

For Clinton to claim that she didn’t know that she was sending or receiving SAP material because it wasn’t marked is tantamount to accusing herself of complete incompetence.
• Just two weeks ago, an email turned up in which Clinton told an underling to strip classification markings off a document so it could be sent electronically to her personal email account.
• She is also on record berating a staffer for not sending information she was told was “on the classified system.” Hillary’s response was “just email it.”
• Before that, several emails turned up that contained information deemed “born classified” — because it contained “foreign government information” and “foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States” — which again she should have known without any markings.
• She wrote several of them herself. In one, sent to special Middle East envoy George Mitchell in late 2009, everything after “George” was deemed classified. Since she created and sent these classified emails, she can’t claim that she wouldn’t have sent them if they had been marked.
• She claimed to have turned over every work-related email on her server, but it is now clear that she didn’t .
• Clinton has been caught in lies about the security of her email server. She initially claimed that the system “had numerous safeguards” and that there “were no security breaches.” Since then, we’ve learned thatit was far from secure and likely breached.

Questions That Should Haunt All Of Us

My western Iowa correspondent, The Council Bluffs Cowboy, forwarded me 'food for thought' this morning. He didn't comprise these brilliant mind benders. I think they came from a lady named Ann Onymous. Enjoy


How important does a person have to be before they are considered  assassinated instead of just  murdered 
  
  What disease did cured ham actually have?
 
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
 
Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?
 
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
 
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
 
Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway...
 
Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural? 
 
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
 
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
 
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
 
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
 
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
 
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
 
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?
 
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?
 
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
 
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
 
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
 
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
 
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?   
 
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
 
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
 
Why do people keep running over a thread a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?   
 
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
 
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
 
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes? 
  
  The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

Heroes

The snowstorm bearing down on the nation’s capital is not stopping the small group of soldiers who continually stand guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. Much as they did during Superstorm Sandy in 2012, Tomb Sentinels will brave the elements to continue guarding the hallowed memorial. Since April 6, 1948, Tomb Sentinels from the Army´s 3rd Infantry Regiment´s "The Old Guard" have guarded the Tomb for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year regardless of the weather. “These guys will be out in the snow, no matter what,” said Major Russell Fox. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/soldiers-continue-guard-tomb-unknowns-arlington-historic-snowstorm/story?id=36453042

Another Iranian Embarrassment

As if it wasn't bad enough that our navy was embarrassed last week when tw of our ships were taken over by the Iranians, get this, in the event you haven's seen it on television.

Is it okay to use the word 'nincompoop' to describe our Sec. of State, John Kerry? It is? Good, then I'll continue. The man whose face is falling off told the world that our administration knew some of the $150 billion dollar gift to Iran in our treaty would go to support world terrorism.

Supporters of Obama won't give this one iota of thought. Let me repeat, in order to assure Iran will not build nuclear weapons we promised to give them ONE HUNDRED FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS WHICH WE KNEW WOULD FUND WORLD-WIDE TERRORISM!

Are we really that stupid or is it part of a plan?

The Hollywood Hullabaloo

I might as well get this out of the way from the get go. There's going to be a boycott of this year's Academy Awards by miffed Blacks and I don't care.

Spike Lee isn't going. Neither is Will Smith and wife, Jada Pinkett. Oh yeah, the frighteningly obese, Michael Moore has decided to opt out, too. Another liberal hack, white actor, Mark Ruffalo, has announced "he's mulling not going".

I had lunch with my very good friend today. He's a fantastic man with a big heart. Oh, he happens to be Black but I don't think of him that way. He's a kind human being. I've even been told by him that all lives matter. Even so, he wondered why actors with his melanin weren't nominated.

I spent last evening perusing all movies composed primarily of African-American actors and actors in 2015. There was only one I'd heard of and that was, 'Straight Outta Compton'. That California city is one tough place; drugs, robberies, murders and other nonsense. If a kid can survive Compton they can make it anywhere. My buddy asked why I didn't see it. That's an easy answer. I can't relate and I'm not into drugs and murder.

As far as I can tell there might have been one actor who just may have been unjustifiably snubbed and he is Michael B. Jordan from the movie, 'Creed'. But, Sylvester Stallone received the nomination from the same movie and that, most likely, was a sympathy vote since he'll never come close to going down this road again. Not as long as he makes movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

For many Americans the Academy Awards have the same impact and excitement as the modern day Miss America contest. The Hollywood show used to be hosted by the likes of Bob Hope and Johnny Carson who gave us clever anecdotes and jokes. In today's event, if you are wise, you'll send your children to their bedroom so they don't have their ears burned off by vulgar language. Often times I get embarrassed by some of the trash talk and I can be the most ribald guy in Ohio when I desire.

Personally, I find it hilarious that liberals are blaming liberals for getting screwed over. What these people need is a good scapegoat. Wait! I have it. Why not blame the Jews. Don't they run Hollywood?

I'm sure Spike Lee is already working on his next film. Why not title it, 'Let's Get The Jews Outta Compton'.

A Couple Of Obscure Thoughts On Hillary

Sometimes husband, Bill, was stumping for Hillary in New Hampshire yesterday. He took the podium and began extolling her virtues; how wonderful and talented she is and that she is the only one who can do the job.

One item catching my attention was when he said she(Hillary) would restore the economy. I immediately perked up. "Wait a minute, I thought, "haven't we been told by her boss this economy is on track and he(Obama) brought it back from the abyss"?

Polls are detestable and unreliable in my view. They're only opinions and as we've seen too many times years highly inaccurate. If we believe in polls then Harry Truman would never have defeated Thomas E. Dewey.

In this vein there was a pollster on television who uttered the following: "Sixty-six percent of all voting men in the country would cut off their testicles, or words to that effect, before pulling the lever for Hillary. People, in general, don't like her. That, my friends, is the reason she has to spout off by fighting for women's rights. She absolutely has to have the skirts in her corner. And you do know the problem with this? It all has to do with how she didn't react to Bill's sexual escapades and how she dealt with these 'bimbo eruptions' with innuendo and threats toward the accusers.

Imagine for a moment Hillary is the next president. What would the tone of the country be? Does she have the moxie and likeability to bring the country together? What would her approval rating be one week into the job? Can you imagine the majority of the American people saying, "I like her so much I would lay down my life for her"? Need I go on?

The Real Mega Powerball Winner

Michael Ramirez Cartoon

Liberal Lemmings Unite

The Queen and I were driving home from seeing our grandchildren yesterday when I noticed the fuel tank was below empty. Luckily, we were on the south side of Columbus, Ohio. Prices are cheaper down there because it's in the 'bottoms' where the less affluent reside.

I knew there was a Speedway gas station just off exit 2 from I-270. I've stopped there before knowing I'd pay less than near Dublin. I was sadly correct. Sadly? yes you read that correctly. The price was $1.32 per gallon. Most folks would jump for joy at being able to fill an SUV for less than $18. Not I.

It'd be better for me and thousands of other Americans to have price per gallon jump to around $1.80 and stay there. You see, there's going to be an easy explanation for my thinking. All you have to do is to check out your 401K plan. Kiddies, you and I, the savers and investors, are losing money in the market place. Today, the Dow is down another 450 points and 1800 since January 1.

Did you watch the Democrat/Communist debate the other night? Normally, I don't waste my time; opting to read about it the next day in the news. For this one debate I made an exception. I'm always up for a good comedy and I wasn't disappointed. I'll tell you the truth, though. I watched about thirty minutes because whatever those losers had to say they would repeat the mantra all through the show.

As an example, Bernie "The Bern" Sanders started his speech with Goldman-Sachs, a $15.00 minimum wage, taking 90% of the money from billionaires and universal health care.

Hillary shrieked---constantly. When talking about Big Banks she told us "no one us too big to go to jail". "Oh, Dear God, please, make it happen".

Then there was the other guy,  old what's his name.

Back to Bernie for a moment and his $15.00 an hour pledge. You and I know it's pie in the sky.

Wal-Mart announced this week they were closing 269 stores world-wide and 154 in the United States. A total of 16,000 people are now out of work. A lot of people, especially members of the Service Employee International Union(SEIU), are berserk about this. You know them, don't you? The bulk of their members didn't quite make it to the 9th grade.
However, they do look good in their purple and yellow uni's. Their brain power is on a par with Charlie McCarthy or Mortimer Snerd---almost.

The average pay for a Wal-Martian is between $8.81 and $10. per hour plus other bennies. That's not bad for not knowing the difference between their and there.

The Demo/Communist Party doesn't seem to understand this basic principle. When wages rise prices  rise. Otherwise, that business loses money. The only alternative is to LET PEOPLE GO!  It's why MacDonalds is now using machines to take your order and cash.

If people want a living wage or better then I suggest they finish high school with average or better grades. They then move onto some form of higher learning be it a trade school  junior college. Either that or they move to the South Side of Chicago, join a gang and take their chances selling drugs.

We learn from our past, I hope. The best example I can give is from my deceased dad. He was an outstanding high school basketball player and was offered a full ride scholarship to the University of Notre Dame. There was a problem, though, that didn't enter his mind as he went from grade 7-12. A D scholastic average doesn't translate very well with the good Fathers at Notre Dame so he lost out on the chance of a lifetime.

So, dad went to work on the railroad as a staunch union man; always complaining about how he was getting screwed out of this, that and the other thing then blaming management for crapping on him when he had to go out on strike. Unlike federal government workers he didn't get back pay, either. Such is life for the uneducated.

Wouldn't it be a travesty being a liberal lemming? Every time you get out of bed in the morning history begins?

It Must Be Hell To Be A Liberal



Braden Joplin was a campaign worker for presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson. He died in a tragic car accident. Carson, out of respect, has suspended his campaign. In these times everyone feels they have the right to make comments on social twitter even morons.

Liberals, in this case, have shown themselves to be horrid, horrid individuals. The number of comments about Joplin's death are appalling. I give you only one example of many.


"Unbelievably tragic, dying for the Ben Carson presidential campaign seems like one of the most depressing reasons to die. And he was cute too… Where did his life go wrong that he was that committed to a terrible grifting lying turd of a candidate?" – Wayward Apology

Guess Where These Pictures Were Taken

Life before the Taliban: Photos show Afghanistan before it plunged into hell

Such lovely you ladies pictured on the left. The serenity of the photo could be situated in a Parisian park. Contrast it with the photos on the right. The truth is both come from the same country. The snapshot on the left side was taken in 1967 in Afghanistan. The one on the right comes from the same place but is current.

I just knew those damned western values would bring civilization to its knees.

White Privilege

Where Is Dr. M.L. King When You Really Need Him

For those of us who were vibrant and much more than virile in 1968 we vividly recall the tragic events of the Sixties. First, it was the assassination of Martin Luther King followed a few months later with that of Bobby Kennedy. Sad times indeed.

The election of 1968 saw massive rioting but not over the policies of the Republicans. It was the hated Democrat leaders who felt their wrath. The Viet Nam War, Johnson's War, gave Richard Nixon the election. The war and a segregation policies dating to 1955 were brought to a head as we entered the election season of '68.

So, today, January 18, we are celebrating the birthday of Dr. King. I was wondering how he would fit into America's landscape if he were alive. He did preach non-violence. The people, Black and White together, did march for equal civil rights. The marches were a necessity brought on by the Birmingham church bombings and the dastardly attacks of Blacks brought on by Bull Conner with the approval of Alabama Gov. George Wallace. It is so difficult for me to believe that, during my lifetime, Black men and women were not allowed to sit with Whites in restaurants, to use restrooms on an equal basis and had German Shepherd's unleashed on their Black citizenry for trying to exercise their God-given rights..

If you have the time look up and listen to Dr. King's "I Have A Dream Speech". It is dynamic. It is seventeen minutes of the very best of American History. It ranks with the Gettysburg Address. The speech was spoken on the Washington Mall in August of 1963 to over two hundred thousand Americans, Black and White together s one..

Why is it the last seven years has seen a decline in not getting along? Race relations are seemingly at their worst since the 60's. I blame this on a lack of leadership coming from the top. I can recall only one time in the tenure of Barack Obama when he tried to calm a volatile racial situation and it was one brought on by his ill-chosen words. A Harvard professor was locked out of his house. The police say a Black man ( as it turned out a college professor and friend of Obama's) was attempting to 'break in'. The police officer involved stopped and questioned the man. The prof screamed racism. Mr. Obama went on television and told the country the "police acted stupidly".

Mr. Obama then tried to cover his behind by calling for a 'Beer Summit' so the police and the professor could hammer out their differences. As much as I've tried I cannot recall any other episode in which our president has tried to bring the Black and White races together.

I would hope that one day we can find a common ground in recalling the principles or Martin Luther King. Our nation and the people comprising it would be far better off than what we are now experiencing.

In conclusion, I'd like to ask you to give three minutes of your time watching and listening to King's last speech given the night before he was assassinated. .(History says James Earle Ray pulled the trigger. He may have but I am firmly convinced the murder was orchestrated by others http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/275-42/16784-how-the-government-killed-martin-luther-king-jr ).  It is his prophetic "I've Been To The Mountaintop" speech. It will leave you with chills. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+ml+king+speech+'i've+been+to+the+mountain+top&view=detail&mid=3CED8DDE7333B349AF133CED8DDE7333B349AF13&FORM=VIRE4

Where oh where is a Dr. King today? We are anxiously awaiting your return as illustrated by a quote you won't hear today from any Demcrat-Liberal-Progressive-Communist leader:

 ‘A Just Law Is a Man-Made Code That Squares With…the Law of God'

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

How Iowa Democrats View Themselves

untitled

Personally, I view the 43% as certifiable idiots. The survey was taken by the Des Moines Register, a one time great newspaper. At present it is, oh how can I say this? Oh yeah, they, too, are socialists.

It'll be interesting to ascertain how Rosie O'Donnell and others in her 'classification' react to this crime.

High School Sports In Wisconsin Is For Sissies

One the most fun and enjoyable times of my life was when my youngest son was playing high school basketball at St. Charles Prep in Columbus, Ohio. It's an all-boys school and they attracted the brightest and the best. Academics came first. The camaraderie among the boys was fantastic as was their enthusiasm for their classmates at athletic contests.

Attending a basketball game was a treat from two standpoints. Watching the game and listening to the antics of the student body who came out en masse to support the team. The boys always had orchestrated chants aimed toward their opponents, especially their hated rival, St. Frances De Sales.

The goings on had the crowd in laughter. These chants weren't hurtful but they were funny. Believe me when I say if these cheers were below the belt the priests would have been in the crowd to grab the offenders by the collar and escort the out the door. 

There's an article floating around the country in news sources this week describing actions taken by the Wisconsin High School Athletic Association to make certain nobody has their feelings hurt in athletic contests. No longer can the crowd yell, "Air ball" when an opposing player shoots and doesn't draw iron. You will not hear, "You, you, you" when a player on the other team, usually their star, receives a foul. And, finally, when that opponent fouls out the famous song of "Hey, hey good-bye" will not be heard.

What are the reasons why the WHSAA would come up with these new rules? It's easy to understand if one gives it consideration. First, they don't want to possibly incite a riot. Yes, I know there's many times when I've heard "Air ball" that I wanted to jump in the crowd and smash a fan in the mouth(I jest, of course). Actually, this happened to me when I played in the state finals of the Iowa High School tournament in 1963. I shot a free throw late in the game, didn't draw iron and I strangled myself on the court in front of 14,000 people and said to myself, "It's a damn air ball". Some, from the opposing team were most likely laughing others cheering. Folks who were neutral, most likely, didn't have a thought. The only ones who were really angry and derisive came from my hometown. It didn't bother me, though. Let me think: 1963 to 2016. That's 53 years and it doesn't bother me at all. Like hell it doesn't but life goes on. We win some and we lose some. My advice is, learn to live with it and that should be the philosophy of the Wisconsin Association.

The Wisconsin Association is very concerned that feelings might be hurt by aggressive hate speech. You know, words like "We are the winners you are the losers" from the song by Freddy Mercury, after  game has ended.

Here's the problem. We all know Wisconsin is controlled by communists out of Madison and Milwaukee but this nonsense will spread, first to other Midwestern states. I suspect Minnesota will be next and, like a tidal wave, then all across the country. This political correctness will become commonplace. If you don't want to be concerned by this prospect have your son play sports in a conservative state.

It's fortunate for me I was able to attend games watching my son in 1994. Going to one of his events was like being at a Comedy Fest and the NCAA Final Four at the same time.

Feds Want To Lower Legal Driving Limit To One Drink

The federal government wants to enact a law limiting all drivers to a legal limit of one drink with exemptions. The new law would not apply to any member of Congress and DC lobbyists.

Others who would not be affected are Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and to the Kennedy Clan.

Would You Want This College Prof Teaching Your Child--Or, Why Can't Libs Express themselves Without Using The 'F' Word

A University of Nebraska-Omaha university professor who used a December 28 Facebook tirade to say “F**k the law,” “F**k police,” and “F**k the NRA” was allowed to meet President Obama after his January 13 speech in Omaha.

The professor’s name is Amanda Gailey. She is also the director of Nebraskans Against Gun Violence.
Here is Gailey’s Facebook rant in it’s entirety:
F**k the society that has allowed itself to become so saturated in guns that it’s plausible a child might have one at a park.
F**k the laws that allow toy makers to make toys that look like real guns and that allow gun makers to make guns that look like toys.
F**k racists who think black children look like adults.
F**k a legal and police system that allows grown white men to pose with sniper rifles on a university campus or in a grocery store and allows insurrectionists to train guns on government agents with no consequences but sounds the alarms when a black child is carrying a toy gun.
F**k police officers who undertook a job that carries inherent risk but think any perceived threat to them whatsoever justifies instantaneous lethal force.
F**k police officers who pull up as close as possible to an alleged threat so that they can execute the person as quickly as possible without assessing the situation first.
F**k prosecutors who can indict a ham sandwich but can’t indict a cop who executed a child.
And f**k the NRA for greasing this machine every fucking day with the blood of American children. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/14/obama-speech-guest-fk-the-laws-fk-police-fk-nra-tirade/

Ted Cruz Doesn't Like NY Values--So What!

Citizens of New York, especially in the City, are all atwitter at the comments made by Ted Cruz in last night's debate. The Senator spoke about the Empire State's extreme liberal value system.

Of course, Trump came to the defense of Gotham City citing how the people came together after the Twin Towers destruction. So, what, the state is and always will be the Devil's workshop. New York tabloids(and I do refer to the NY Times as a tabloid) are praising Trump for coming to the defense of its people. Ask the citizenry of every other state aside from those on the Left Coast how they feel about New Yorkers. The normal response is, "Who gives a flying crap". Coming together after a tragedy has nothing to do with value systems.

Besides, we know about value systems after Rahm Emanuel excoriated his people to boycott Chick-fil-A for their Christian beliefs against homosexual marriage. The only mistake I made in this controversy was not buying stock in Chick-fil-A. Their sales went through the roof. So much for Chicago values.

I've been to the Big Apple a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I even went to the top of one of the Towers to scan the city. The view was breathtaking. I would not want to live there. My bank account could not afford it. Thank God for welfare. It gives their citizens a reason to live.

Now, we need to put on our thinking caps regarding NYC. Queen Hillary was the senator from New York on 9/11. How long did it take her to rise from the Senate Chambers and announce, "Bush knew"? As in, President Bush knew beforehand about the coming catastrophe. And people applauded her 'lying'. New York values?

The Mayor of New York City is Bill DiBlasio. He and his wife took their honeymoon to the Vatican. I kid, of course. They went to the balmy human rights capitol of the western hemisphere aka Cuba.

Furthermore, when the communist Sandinistas were attempting to take over in Nicaragua guess who sent money and raised funds for the commies  against US support. You are correct. It was Comrade DiBlasio.

If one thinks hardcore liberalism is confined to the city limits of NYC then they might want to drive north a few hours to Albany and peruse the policies of DiBlasio's brother-in-arms, Gov. Andrew Cuomo. A few years ago, in a speech, Cuomo state that anti-abortion, anti-gay, pro-gun conservatives have no right to live in New York. Normally, I'd say this is a double standard but when liberals speak it's my way or the highway. Cuomo makes Bernie Sanders look like a piker.

So, who cares what Sen. Cruz says about New Yorkers. Even Donald Trump as the presidential candidate couldn't win that State. There's a Josef Stalin living in most every household. If you don't believe me remember this: They voted Hillary into the United States Senate.

Give Me A Friggin' Break

Ten years ago Al Gore told us in his scare movie, An Inconvenient Truth, that unless something was done about climate change in ten years we would be seeing world destruction. Well, kids, we've 12 days to go until our time is up. Our President, in three of his SOTU addresses said he would cure cancer. He's now hedging his bet. He mentioned yesterday curing cancer would be fruitless since the calamity of climate change will kill us all, anyway.

Obama said, “But don’t think that this is not a problem for all of us. This is the main message I have. You know, we talked — that young lady was asking me about curing cancer. Well, we might cure cancer, but if temperatures have gone up two, three degrees around the planet, four degrees and oceans are rising, we got — we’re going to have more problems than medical science can cure. http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/01/14/obama-might-cure-cancer-temps-go-2-degrees-wont-matter/

Al Sharpton Blasts Hollywood

There were no Oscar nominees who are Black this year. There wasn't one director, actor or actress so Al Sharpton screamed bigotry. He said, "Hollywood is like a mountain. The higher you go the whiter it gets" or words to that effect. I can tell why no Blacks were nominated. Denzel Washington and Halle Berry didn't make a film in 2015.

I think it's time I started a movement for White guys. At next years NBA All-Star game it's imperative I lead a protest denouncing the racist country or ours for having only 10% of the players from our side represented on the teams. Do they still have an NFL game in Hawaii?  My suspicion is I could lead another boycott for lack of white participation. Or is it that the paying customer wants to see the best?

Hillary Receives Sloshy Endorsement From Virginia Gov., Terry McAuliffe

See Hillary Dodging Bullets

How many 'fibs' has Hillary told us about harrowing experiences in her life? Too many to count, I'd say. I came across a YouTube of some of her whoppers. You'll like it especially if you want to see her in Leavenworth.

Show it to your friends and acquaintances, especially if they belong to the communist party.

How Would You Like To Be Remembered

In my younger days I spent many seconds wondering how I'd like to be remembered when I went to the great beyond. Would I place a photo of myself in the newspaper from younger days or one at the time of my death?

I have a photo of myself on a counter from my baseball days at Coe College taken in 1967. My son in law was looking at it and wondered who the guy was in the photo. "It's me, dimwit", I thought. That might be a nice pic for the tabloids adorned with shin guards and a chest protector. Except, one might have the idea I was living in an alternate universe.

Chances are most folks do change in looks from age 22 to 70 but I didn't think it'd be that drastic for me. The only thing I can say now is I look, well, old.

I was perusing my old hometown newspaper, The Boone News Republican obituaries this afternoon and came across a death announcement with Daniel Boone's, I presume, picture included. My interest was piqued. I would imagine, unless this was the only photo available, it was posted as a reminder of the guy's love of hunting. Either that or he was a hermit living in a cabin by the Des Moines River.

You know what I'd do if I went to his visitation? I'd place a couple of shotgun shells in his hand and maybe a sign reading, "The buck stops here".

Rest in peace whoever you are.


CBS News Trying To Verify If Philly Shooter Is Muslim

Now, let’s see.

1. He shot him wearing Islamic dress on video for all to see.
2. He said he did it in the name of Islam.
3. He said he did it because cops enforce laws that are not in the Koran.
4. He said he did it for Allah.
5. He pledged allegiance to ISIS.

But CBS thinks we’re ‘still trying to verify’? There’s everything but a notarized declaration. http://www.weaselzippers.us/249999-head-in-sand-cbs-on-philly-shooter-authorities-trying-to-verify-he-shot-officer-in-islams-name/

Liberal Propaganda Posters Make My Day

Only to keep laughing in an otherwise insane world I've been looking at posters created by liberals to either make their icons look great or conservatives as hateful idiots. They're funny, wrong, but funny.

As an example, I came across this ditty with the words: "If conservatives are so "Pro-Life" why are they making fun of Pres. Obama for crying over children killed by gun violence? Isn't this rich? Its no wonder my hero, Ronald Reagan said, "It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so".

Regarding the killed children: Name one conservative who is pleased with any child being killed, maimed or mauled. What we do find utterly ridiculous is that this person(Obama) who promised there would not be abortions in his healthcare bill(remember that) but now happily presides and is joyful with over 350,000 babies slaughtered on a yearly basis. How many tears has he shed over these children of whom 72% are Black babies?

So, as bad and as insane as was Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook nut job who grew up in a home without a parent, who had a gun through background checks, whose family were registered Democrats we conservatives are at fault because Barack Hussein Obama shed some tears, fake or otherwise.

I didn't see many tears flow over mothers and dads of children from San Bernardo when his Muslim ancestors sent their victims to the great beyond.

As long as we're on guns let me remind you that Obama has released from prison so-called non-violent prisoners, 121 of them, who have gone on to commit murder and they didn't have background checks. How many tears has President Slick shed over these lost souls?

The only person I can name who has violated the no background check is Barack Obama. Remember how he sent weapons to Mexico in a program called Fast & Furious. Mr. Bush had serial numbers on those weapons which Obama and Eric Holder creatively eliminated.

Worst-President-Ever. And I haven't even started on foreign policy.

How Have Gun Background Checks Worked So Far

Breitbart News previously reported that shooters and alleged shooters who got their guns via background checks include Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik (San Bernardino), Noah Harpman (Halloween, Colorado Springs), Chris Harper Mercer (Umpqua Community College), Vester Lee Flangan (Virgina), John Russell Houser (Lafayette), Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez (Chattanooga), Dylann Roof (Charleston), Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi (Garland), Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Andrew John Engeldinger (Minneapolis), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), Tennis Melvin Maynard (West Virginia), Wade Michael Page (Sikh Temple), James Holmes (Aurora theater), Jared Loughner (Tucson), Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood 2009), Jiverly Wong (Binghamton), Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech), Naveed Haq (Seattle), and Mark Barton (Atlanta).

Did you know the people listed were in 'gun free zones when they slaughtered their victims? This concerns me.

I have a doctor's appointment with my eye guy next week. He practices in a 'gun free Zone'.
I'll be in church next Sunday, pick up my grandchildren at a grade school basketball game tomorrow then take them to Burger King for dinner. Yep, they're gun free zones, too. Sort of makes a guy fell nervous about not making it to Monday, doesn't it?

Seriously, Hillary May Be Brain Damaged

This is not a joke piece as much as I'd like to put satirical pictures in here. I mean, Hillary and her achievements are a joke but two neurologists on the inside of what's going on with the Chappaqua curmudgeon. They're in the news for telling us Hillary's extended trip to the biffy in the last Dem debate was due to brain damage. In other words, she's not fit to serve.

"But Breitbart News suggests that all-too-convenient explanation may have been a cover story that deflects from what really happened. A law enforcement source told Breitbart that "health issues stemming from a previous brain injury" kept Hillary from the stage and also hindered her ability to walk after the debate. Clinton's campaign denied their candidate was in poor health and said she quickly recovered from a concussion she suffered but her husband, former President Bill Clinton, is on record as saying that Hillary's injury “required six months of very serious work to get over.”
"These long-lasting symptoms stemming from a concussion and blood clot, according to a neurologist, suggest Clinton is suffering from post-concussion syndrome, which can severely impact her cognitive abilities," the Breitbart report states". http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/261387/hillary-health-horrors-matthew-vadum

Confusion About Jobs

I suspect Obama people are jumping for joy today. It was announced that 292,000 hard working folks found jobs last month.

Did you know 17% of those employed in our workforce are immigrants? Can you say Wendy's?

There are now 92,100,000 Americans out of work.

The economy grew at a rate of 2%(not good) in 2015.

The stock market is wetting the bed but this doesn't bother me. It always comes back. Besides, when a company drops from a gazillion to nothing then it's time to buy.

Are you confused by all of this? So am I.
