Not sure that more than one or two people missed me, but I’m back. Not sure what direction I will take for 2017…

Obama: Hopeless!

by on Jan.06, 2016, under US Politics

We have soldiers in a very precarious position in Afghanistan:

This is news from yesterday – the same day Obama is shedding crocodile tears while making some half-a$$ attempt at gun control.

I’m confused.

I thought, based on the oath US Presidents take, that the “Commander-in-Chief” of the United States is supposed to support and defend the Constitution. This would include the Amendments. You’d also think that the (alleged) Commander-in-Chief of US forces would have the safety of those forces as a high priority.

Obama failed on both of these topics yesterday as he’s failed at so many others in his 7 LONG years in office. Let’s face it, he’s hopeless.

In his spare time, Obama is releasing 17 more KNOWN terrorists from Gitmo. Which ones? We are not allowed to know. Read it again. We are purposefully NOT BEING TOLD which prisoners are being released OR where they are being released. Has Obama forgotten who pays his salary?

And gun control? Who is he kidding? What he said made little sense really. As it often does, it seems Obama just likes being in the spotlight. Most of what I heard will NOT stop gun crimes because the same criminal gun-users who are using them now, will be buying their guns on the black market like they always do. 230 more ATF agents? Well that might be useful, if expensive, except…

Those ATF agents will now be dogging people who are selling a couple guns within their family or their gun club – you know – people who are usually 99% responsible with the guns they have. I think there is a hidden agenda for the new 230 agents – we’ll probably find out soon what that agenda really is.

Obama also wants states to REPORT YOU to the Fed if you are “officially” depressed. I’m not kidding. Who the heck living under the Obama administration is NOT depressed? One day soon though, telling your physician you are depressed may mean that one of those new ATF agents shows up at your door and takes your guns. And part of Obama’s agenda is revealed.

This is Nazi mentality at its worst. And once again, law-abiding citizens that number in the tens of millions, are being hindered and hampered because in the last 7 years, a handful of psychos have committed crimes using guns. Obama lies easily and states that Americans are with him on this subject. Wrong. Only the paid applauders near the podium are with you. Common sense people see that your “ready, shoot, aim” decision-making is making a fool of you yet again – and we, the citizens of this great country, continue to see our lives and our freedoms manipulated and minimized.

I warned at least six months ago that this last year of Obama’s reign will be the most hazardous for US citizens. He’s only just begun…

At Another Year’s End

by on Dec.29, 2015, under US Politics

I’m not a super nostalgic person but I think most people start thinking about the year at its end. The “good,” the “bad,” friends and family we lost, tragic events in the US and the world. If I had to sum up 2015 in a sentence it would be:

“I’m glad it’s almost gone!”

On a global level, our politicians and other alleged “representatives” of the people haven’t done much for us. In the US they have not stopped the illegal alien invasion or lessened the scope and potential of Islamic terrorist attacks on US soil. Our border is not secure, our country is heavily in debt, and our president is once again living the high life in Hawaii. Spending a few million in a couple of weeks is something Obama is really good at. I just wish he’d stop proving it.

We’ve had shootings and stabbings on US soil to the cost of American lives. But Obama and Kerry are too busy playing footsie with Iran to notice. And if the US makes ANY effort to tighten its lax visa program? Iran feels they can make comments about it. There is a two-word response they should be getting, but they won’t from this passive-aggressive administration.

Our representatives just handed over pretty much every single thing Obama wanted – via the Omnibus bill. Funding for planned parenthood – check. Money for refugees – check. Even though most do NOT want even more “unknowns” in the US and we sure don’t want to pay for them. More special visas for foreign workers – check. Just what a country needs when some 20% of the workforce can’t find a job.

Speaker Boehner resigns and despite widespread dissent, those in power who don’t listen and won’t hear, elect, Paul Ryan – loser of Republican debates who once suggested as the new Speaker, immediately starts whining about what he won’t do. Conservative? Hardly. What’s in the water in DC to make these people think we don’t know they are promoting a crock of – something other than the truth?

2015 may end up being the calm before the storm. Obama has a whole lot of little tricks up his sleeve. Maybe he can plant a few Gitmo terrorists in American neighborhoods before he’s done. Or maybe he can increase our debt load by another $10 trillion. After all, what he does is all about his legacy – and his legacy has nothing to do with what is good or right for this country.

Assuming we make it to November 2016 – there’s an election. If we can manage to keep illegals from voting we might actually have one that’s valid, but Democrats have been whining about voter ID since the last election so no expectation that just going to get a FREE ID might resolve any issues. Will we be able to stop people from voting twice or three or maybe seven times – as they did in both 2008 and 2012? Not if the ACLU whiners are more worried about protecting criminal behavior than in our ability to have a valid and legal election. Guess it is all down to who benefits if fraud is allowed. Same party that benefited last time around is the answer.

So it appears that at the end of 2015, we’ve really not made much progress as a nation. It’s too much the same people pulling the same games with the same results. 2016 will give us another chance to make some changes. With 2.5 days left in this year – there is already no time to waste!

Outside of what we just can’t control, I hope everyone will have the safest and most prosperous 2016 possible!

US: One More Year

by on Dec.22, 2015, under US Politics

Can the US survive another year of Obama? I’m not sure.

In the last week, the crony politicians on the Republican side – and I speak specifically of the new Speaker most of us didn’t want, Paul Ryan, have given Obama everything he wanted. We will be paying for it, both financially and from a national security standpoint, forever.

Merry Christmas to US citizen taxpayers – the most abused people on the planet.

Obama is off to Hawaii again for a couple weeks – and probably at the cost of several million dollars. One of his last jabs at US citizens before he left for his holiday was yet another threat of Executive Action – this time regarding the 2nd Amendment right Americans have to own a gun. This is rich coming from a person who has been surrounded by armed security 24/7 for the last 7 years. Obama will not likely ever NEED to protect himself or his family since he will now have this security detail for life. And his armed security will be paid for by the very citizens he wants to disarm.

This is just ridiculous. Barring law-abiding citizens from a right to do ANYTHING has never stopped the criminal element from doing it anyway. They are called “criminals” because they have a habit of breaking laws. Drug and controlled-substance laws are a good example. When I started to have to SIGN something to buy sinus medicine because it contained ONE ingredient some meth lab builders use – did it stop methamphetamine use? No. Did it stop criminals focused on building meth labs from doing so? No. It just meant I had to sign for something I personally have never abused.

This is the “ready, shoot, aim” of Obama mentality. It persists in the dropping of 2,000+ page documents on our representatives, giving them two days to read, and then forcing a quick vote. “Ready, vote, read.” Most of them are happy to do this, close their offices in mid-December, and then head off for their two+ weeks of vacation.

Did they leave a country that is safe? No. Did they leave us with a balanced budget? No. Does everyone who needs and wants one have a job? No. Do we have a zero deficit? No.

The real fear is not just the coming year. This fear of a tyrannical and incompetent president is only heightened by the idea that a Democrat may get into the White House again in 2017. We have basically two choices there.

One, someone who wants to tax you for every single thing you have or do. He then wants to take what he’s taken from you, and HE and the government will decide who gets the spoils of YOUR labor. You are once again the government’s cash cow and they will bleed you dry because there are so many of you with something they want.

Two, we have someone who is so disorganized, over-managed, and arrogant, that she won’t get back from a bathroom break on time. I’m Hillary Clinton – everyone can just wait for me. And notice I said “won’t” not “can’t.” Hillary doesn’t care if she’s keeping people waiting – even with international news coverage waiting! It reminded me of the rudeness of Obama – who is usually 15 minutes to an hour late for most of his press conferences. Pathetic.

Republicans have some answering to do as well. Why did anyone vote to give you a majority if you REFUSE TO USE IT???

One way or another, getting to the next election is going to be like walking through minefields for conservatives and it’s going to be a long year…

Obama: Another “Tsar’s” Vacation

by on Dec.18, 2015, under US Politics

Here he goes again – off to Hawaii for several weeks with his family for the holidays. If the cost to the citizenry is what we’ve paid before, this year’s vacation will cost taxpayers somewhere between $3 million and $5 million dollars. And let’s not forget that a huge chunk of that will go to pay the salaries of all the armed security the Tsar has with him.

Did I say Tsar? I meant President Obama.

Tsar Nicholas Romanov II of Russia led a charmed life – very similar to a US President. He lived in opulent homes, traveled to opulent vacation lodges and villas like Peterhof and Livadia, and drank from cups of pure gold and silver (okay, maybe Obama doesn’t do this!) But there were other important differences. The Tsar, as ruler, owned EVERYTHING. Also, the Tsar was supposed to be ordained by God and he took his right to be the autocrat of all the Russias as a divine mission. In the Romanov line of 300 years, this worked in a hit-or-miss fashion for the country – some winners and some losers as Tsar, and then along would come another.

But Tsar Nicholas ruled in a very difficult and fast-changing time for Russia. He was also ill-equipped by both temperament and experience for the job. By 1917 – 23 years into his reign, he was forced to abdicate. The Bolsheviks – who took over almost immediately after Nicholas’ fall, absorbed all the tsarist properties into the “state” and by July 1918, Nicholas and his entire family had been murdered – in secret so they thought, by the Bolsheviks.

Any research at all on this subject quickly shows that in addition to lack of decisiveness and judgment, Nicholas lived in a small, simple little world 18 miles from St. Petersburg with his wife and children. Months would go by without anyone really seeing either Nicholas or, the royal family. He saw only who he wanted to see and heard only what he wanted to hear. He made attempts at allowing a Duma – similar to UK’s Parliament, but he (and his somewhat psychotic wife,) manipulated the Duma membership and when that didn’t work, he disbanded it. When his palace military fired on peaceful protesters killing hundreds, Nicholas wept privately, but did nothing to show to his subjects his outrage or his willingness to make any changes.

And then he went on vacation.

So here we come to present day and another world leader with a plate full of issues and he’s off on vacation. Let’s not forget that the main difference between Obama and the tsar for purpose of this discussion is that the tsar became the tsar because he was the oldest son and heir. He DREADED the day he would rule because he didn’t want the job and suspected he would fail – and he did. Obama, on the other hand, campaigned hard for his position. He spoke as if his planned “transformation” of the country was going to be a good thing. I, like many others, suspected not.

Obama has made a mess of pretty much everything. On his watch our deficit is out-of-control, unemployment is much higher than the government-stated percentages, we’re over-regulated and under-served, we’ve had terrorist attacks on US soil – again on his watch and where is Obama going? To Hawaii! I don’t have a problem with the man taking a vacation but I’d like it if he at least TRIED to do his job first and second, he didn’t have to constantly pick an expensive destination. This is a basic “screw you” to American citizens who are unemployed or underemployed and who no longer can afford vacations, or extras, or food, or heat! Obama seems to either not notice or not care. I’d have a hard time sleeping at night by this point if I were him.

But like Tsar Nicholas, Obama feels he can do whatever he wants while not listening to either his advisers or US citizens. If it doesn’t suit what he thinks, Obama, just like Tsar Nicholas, doesn’t want to hear it. He is living above us – not part of us. This mentality brought down the House Romanov. But that won’t happen here.

We are blocked at every attempt to stop Obama’s horrendous policies by a checks-and-balances system that no longer works. There are a few valiant souls in the Congress and the Senate who are trying to expose the incompetence, corruption, waste, and threats to our national security, but few listen – and certainly not Obama. I can’t figure out why nearly half the US population doesn’t see what a game this makes of our politics and our country. I doubt I will still be alive when people finally realize what they’ve lost but I doubt it will be that much different than Russia 1917. And if anyone then is looking for Obama, check out the $3500 a day villa in Hawaii…the one with the high walls and the armed guards…
