Rules of Engagement? Hell, just leave. In War, the only rules are the Geneva Convention and followers of mohammed don't follow those.

Our Narcissistic Moron Has Arrived

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."

---H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

JFK Legacy

This will fall on deaf ears but there are some things that JFK did that today would be Kool-Aid Drinker's heresy. He was ADAMANT to maintain the gold-dollar standard and engineered several means to protect it. His administration engineered the first Investment Tax Credit which was nothing short of brilliant in that it boosted small business development to the chagrin of Big Business philosophy. His operation TWIST was probably the most remarkable of his achievements. What it did was lower Long-Term interest rates while boosting Short-Term interest rates which pissed off the big NYC banks but bolstered small town banks; it reduced inflation to damn near zero and spurred long-term, capital investment while screwing the overnight securities market the 5 big banks were so fond of in raping Main Street. THE most impressive economic package ever produced, much less passed with flying colors. It was Richard Nixon who so carelessly and irresponsible destroyed the gold-dollar standard. It was NOT a democrat!

Scot-Irish Prayer

A Scotch-Irish prayer from the time [Early 18th Century] says, "Lord, grant that I may always be right, for Thou knowest that I am hard to turn." Although I am Welsh, which are thrown into the Scot-Irish pot, I certainly understand this fully. In fact, I am sure it came from a Welshman who had been removed to the Irish Plantations LOL

Too often, some, especially later in life, have alienated themselves from contact with others, only to be replaced by anything other than those with whom to share their lives. To live in isolation is loneliness. Let us hope that none of us reach that stage in life. To tell oneself we are happy without intimate contact is not happiness. It is but a lie. Live life to surround yourself with others and share life to the fullest, not give in to isolation and despair. Nothing in life can replace the exchange of ideas with others who might share them with you. Nothing.... Author Unknown

Democrats Running Scared

Every member of my democratic party voted for the rule in ObamaScare that provided for these private insurance plan clients to be dumped. Every one. They are on the record in so doing. They are contingently liable, with their "leader", for this debacle. They can't run, they cannot hide. They are sufficiently and appropriately scared to death. They may actually have to get a real job and go on ObamaScare themselves.

Have Some More Kool-Aid Chilren!

I don't believe he actually believes he can have this fixed any more than I believed anything he said while selling this piece of doo doo. If he does, it is indicative of how little he knows about how legislation works and how it can be implemented. Obamacare is DOA. This "fix" just cannot be done.  Does anyone besides Kool-Aid drunks actually consider for one moment the insurance companies will cooperate after he had spent much of his time demonizing them and their actions?

Whoops - A Must Read

Whoops 


It seems there is no mechanism to provide for a tax subsidy for folks signing up for PPACA [ObamaScare]. Thus, it may not be appearing on the 2013 Tax Year 1040 forms. You see, such subsidy requires a revenue measure and revenue measures must go through the GOP-Controlled House of Representatives. Ya think that has a chance? When pigs fly! Last night, word on the streets, the WH gurus were huddled in a panic mode about how that can be fixed. I’m sure they were discussing ways to get around the problem, administratively. Not gonna happen. The revenue necessary to fund this will be massive. Ya just can’t pull it outta a hat like a rabbit. When this becomes more publicly known, there will be a lotta folks out there, who are looking for their free ObamaScare goodies, only to find out there aren’t any. They’ll be seeking neck measurements and lookin’ for some new rope for some really big necks.


The Real Solution to Healthcare Insurance

It is real simple, folks:

A simple bill in each of the 50 states [Where insurance regulation belongs] would disallow dumping a client from her/ his health insurance plan. Any insurance company who does not adhere to such will lose its license to insure in that state. In fact, no insurance company will be provided with a license to practice in such state without that being in their contract with the respected Insurance Commission. ALL 50 states have one.

For $5 Billion, each and every man, woman and child in the USA can be relieved of the Pre-existing condition debacle – that is one half of one day in federal revenue. It can be done in a simple Block Grant to the states [Where insurance regulation belongs]. See paragraph above.

Health Savings Accounts legislation to be required in each of the 50 states [Where insurance regulation belongs].

Federal legislation, which would be required [Commerce Clause--Uniform Commercial Code], allowing for interstate portability of healthcare insurance and contingent legislation passed in each of the 50 states [Where insurance regulation belongs].

It’s real simple. The above 4 points would solve the entire problem. That assumes however, healthcare is the real goal, which unfortunately, it is not. The PPACA is simply about control vs. federalism. It is about the Constitution itself which the powers that be despise. There is a Suggested State Legislation Committee of the Nat’l Conference of State Legislatures, that I worked with over the years that could get ‘er done. Hell, I could get this done—just gimme the gavel!

Real Heroes!

Damn folks, these are REAL HEROES! Not the likes of Tom Cruise, who gains or loses weight for a stupid movie. I'd like to whale the crap out of him but for the fact I would be accused of bullying an effete little prick. He couldn't handle the rigors of Campfire Girls! I don't like the little pervert anyway but I would not spend a nickel on any of his movies after that crap he spewed. What a little midget! Thanks to Michael Dollar for capturing this news articles about some real Oklahoma heroes, one of which is a man from Seminole I have known all my cognizant memory:

Memories of World War II remain vivid for veterans
Bryan Dean
bdean@opubco.com

Wilburn Henry flew a B-24 Liberator on bombing runs over Nazi Germany. Merle Lebbs served on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific that was sunk by the Japanese in the Battle of the Coral Sea. The two 96-year-old veterans talked recently about their experiences 70 years ago as they prepared to observe Veterans Day on Monday.

Heavy losses
Henry, of Oklahoma City, said he volunteered for the Army Air Corps in 1942. He wanted to fly. Henry got his wish, earning his wings before he was sent to Italy early in 1944. He flew his B-24 Liberator in the allied invasion of Italy and other targets in Europe. A standard tour was 35 missions. When Henry was assigned to his unit, he asked what the rate of losses was and was pleased to hear it was about 4 percent. “What I didn’t realize is that was for one mission,” Henry said. “You multiply that by 35 missions, and losses were pretty heavy.”

A crew of 10 manned the four-engine bomber. Most would never return home. Allied aircrews suffered some of the worst casualty rates in the war. “Of the 10 men, there was only two of us that finished our tour,” Henry said. “We got fighters some, but flak was our worst enemy. There was nothing you could do about flak.”
The toughest time was the night before a mission, Henry said. “Everybody was scared all the time,” he said. “Don’t let anyone tell you they weren’t. But you had a job you had to do. You couldn’t let yourself be nervous in the air.”

Abandon ship
Lebbs, of Krebs, joined the Navy in 1936, five years before the United States entered World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He was stationed on the USS Lexington for much of his career. The Lexington was one of the United States’ first aircraft carriers and became an indispensable part of the Pacific strategy after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The Lexington, nicknamed “Lady Lex,” was sent to the Coral Sea in early 1942 along with the carrier USS Yorktown. The two carriers defended against the Japanese invasion of Papua, New Guinea, in May 1942. The Lexington was attacked by about 40 Japanese bombers and torpedo planes while its own planes were attacking the Japanese carriers. “We got hit with about four torpedoes and two bomb hits,” Lebbs said. “It set the thing on fire, but we were still able to steam.” The Lexington continued launching and landing aircraft, but the ship was doomed. Fires raged in the forward part of the ship, causing a series of explosions.

Lebbs’ station was toward the back of the ship. When the Lexington finally lost power, the order to abandon stations came, forcing the ship’s crew to mass on the flight deck and prepare to abandon the ship. “Where we came out was all the way aft near a flight deck gun gallery,” Lebbs said. “We couldn’t abandon ship until the skipper gave the word. Right inside that gun gallery was a doorway to the ship. It was right next to the ice cream shop.”


One of Lebbs’ fellow sailors broke the lock on the shop’s freezer. Amid the chaos and raging fires, Lebbs and about a dozen other sailors treated themselves.
“We just stood there eating ice cream waiting for the order to abandon ship,” Lebbs said. When the order came, Lebbs and thousands of others aboard the ship went down ropes into the water and made their way to waiting life boats. The carrier’s destroyer escorts picked up those who were able to get off the Lexington. “I didn’t get to see it go down,” Lebbs said. “I was picked up by a destroyer. As soon as we got aboard, we were taken down and given a bunk. I didn’t ever see the ship actually sink. It’s just as well I didn’t. I loved that ship.”

Impeachment Process - CRS Report

Federal Register Numbers Exposing the ObamaLie

Federal Register, Volume 75, Number 116, June 17, 2010, Rules and Regulations: Obama/ Sebilius KNEW that 40% of big business healthcare policies and 67% of small business policies would lose their grandfather clause protection on December 31, 2013, throwing another 93 million Americans into the uninsured market, scrambling for coverage. See page 34,553

Administration Knew All Along--Associated Stories

http://dailym.ai/1aOQGol


Impeachment Proceedings Imminent

Forbes is now reporting that the Grandfather Provision extension until 2015 for business healthcare insurance promised by Obama is poppycock. We already know it is not provided for in the PPACA itself. Forbes is now predicting that 45% of big business policies and 60% of small business policies do not meet PPACA requirements, thus losing the protection of the Grandfather Provision as of December 31, 2013, thus putting them in almost the same boat as the individual policy owners. Or, should I say, former individual policy owners. In short, those who receive their healthcare insurance through their employer number 156 milion. Now we learn that 93 million of those are now screwed. That will mean that, by December 31, those 93 million join the 14 million to be booted from their individual healthcare policies, and the 30 million now uninsured and expected to continue uninsured ad infinitum. Thus, on December 31, 137 million people have no healthcare insurance. The other 63 million covered through their workplace join the merriment January, 2015. Crisis? Methinks.

Herein lies the rub...THESE VERY NUMBERS WERE IN THE JUNE, 2010, FEDERAL REGISTER, PRODUCED BY THE VERY ADMINISTRATION THAT IS REPEATEDLY SAYING THE DIAMETRIC OPPOSITE. If anyone wants a cite of the Volume number, page number, I will be glad to provide it for you. In short, Obama is and has been knowingly lying and Secretary Sebelius testimony was a complete pack of lies. With that, I predict that Impeachment Proceedings are IMMINENT.

Impeachment May Now Be a Given

I knew it had to be bad but could not conceive it could be this bad. By the end of Day 1 of Obamacare, 6 people had actually completed their application. That is SIX, not 60, not 600, not 6,000, SIX applicants. By the end of October 3, there were 248 enrollees with completed applications. Once again, 248, people. Not thousands, tens of thousands or otherwise. Folks, there are 30 million people uninsured in the USA and 14 million at least to be booted, thanks to Obamacare. Now we learn that 93 million who are now insured through their employer, really lose their grandfather protection as of December 31, 2013, and will lose their coverage. More importantly, a statement in the Federal Register, the official daily journal, clearly points to the administration's falsehoods on these numbers. It also provides direct contradiction to Secy. Sebelius statements yesterday. Knowingly lying to Congress is an impeachable offense, folks. We now have a bona fide Constitutional crisis. This is not good. The Federal Register provides Proposed Rules, Final Rules, Presidential Documents, etc. Congress has to rely on the Register as official, truthful, reliable information from the Administration. Lying in the Federal Register is lying to Congress, in a practical sense.
