Slow Posts And Politics
Sorry for not getting more content up lately. Summers are very busy for me and on the weekends golf takes priority over pretty much everything.
After watching the RNC convention and catching glimpses of Hillary’s DNC Woman of the Century party I needed a break from politics to wash off the dirt. I sometimes think I need to just ignore politics and live my life without stressing about it but as the old saying goes, “Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you. ” Not sure who said it first but it seems that is the stance we must all take.
It’s a shame that we have to worry about politicians ruining our lives to the point that as Americans we have to take a defensive role to try and protect our way of life from the very people we elected to protect us in the first place.
So as summer rolls on I will continue to to show how the Democratic Woman of the Century will do more harm as President than the current Faker in Chief has done in 8 years. Hillary is a vindictive mean spirited corrupt old hag of a liar and will rain hell down on everyone that has crossed paths with her in her run to the White House. She has a past history of destroying people who cross her so you can imagine what she will do when she has the power of the Presidency to inflict her vengeance.
Hillary never stopped wanting to be president. She was just was going to have to wait for eight years. But how could she take the steps necessary and maneuver so she wouldn’t be faced with another loss in the primary in 2016? Well, the strategic thing would be to have a plant become the head of the DNC so that if a thumb on the scale had to take place, she’d at least own the thumb. That’s where Barack Obama and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz come in. here….
So even if you can’t stomach The Donald the thoughts of bowing down to The Queen for the next four years should sway you enough to do the right thing and vote Trump, as distasteful as that may be for some.
Kangaroo Court
I must be missing something. FBI asks for emails, Clinton say’s no emails, state department say’s no emails, FBI find’s emails, decides Clinton innocent, now returning emails to state department they asked for in the first place. WTF?
The FBI has delivered “thousands of documents” to the State Department that it recovered during its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, CNN reports.
A court filing in a civil case related to Clinton’s server from conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch said that the FBI plans to turn over more emails on Aug. 5, according to the news network.
The State Department will then again sort through the documents, determining which should be considered “agency records.” They’ve been expected to release them publicly on a rolling basis. Here…
They already had them, refused to give them up, now they are the review board?
It’s all over with kids, buy food, guns, ammo, and get trained.
Tell Me Lies Tell Me Sweet Little Lies
But Bill Clinton went on stage last night to do the impossible — to humanize the inhuman. Instead of talking about policy and economics, about which he has some credibility, he instead chose to speak of love, commitment, and marriage, about which he has none. keep reading….
Paying For The Senate Barbershop
A 79 year old reaches out to the political elites. It bums me out me knowing that it will fall on deaf ears.
I guess if it gets passed around enough maybe the message won’t be lost.

****************************
Dear Senators:
I have tried to live by the rules my entire life. My father was a Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, who died of combat related stresses shortly after his retirement. It was he who instilled in me those virtues he felt important – honesty, duty, patriotism and obeying the laws of God and of our various governments. I have served my country, paid my taxes, worked hard, volunteered and donated my fair share of money, time and artifacts.
Today, as I approach my 79th birthday, I am heart-broken when I look at my country and my government. I shall only point out a very few things abysmally wrong which you can multiply by a thousand fold. I have calculated that all the money I have paid in income taxes my entire life cannot even keep the Senate barbershop open for one year! Only Heaven and a few tight-lipped actuarial types know what the Senate dining room costs the taxpayers. So please, enjoy your haircuts and meals on us
Last year, the president spent an estimated $1.4 billion on himself and his family. The vice president spends $ millions on hotels. They have had 8 vacations so far this year! And our House of Representatives and Senate have become America’s answer to the Saudi royal family. You have become the “perfumed princes and princesses” of our country.
In the middle of the night, you voted in the Affordable Health Care Act, a.k.a. “Obamacare,” a bill which no more than a handful of senators or representatives read more than several paragraphs, crammed it down our throats, and then promptly exempted yourselves from it substituting your own taxpayer-subsidized golden health care insurance.
You live exceedingly well, eat and drink as well as the “one percenters,” consistently vote yourselves perks and pay raises while making 3.5 times the average U.S. individual income, and give up nothing while you (as well as the president and veep) ask us to sacrifice due to sequestration (for which, of course, you plan to blame the Republicans, anyway).
You understand very well the only two rules you need to know – (1) How to get elected, and (2) How to get re-elected. And you do this with the aid of an eagerly willing and partisan press, speeches permeated with a certain economy of truth, and by buying the votes of the greedy, the ill-informed and under-educated citizens (and non-citizens, too, many of whom do vote ) who are looking for a handout rather than a job. Your so-called “safety net” has become a hammock for the lazy. And, what is it now, about 49 or 50 million on food stamps – pretty much all Democrat voters – and the program is absolutely rife with fraud and absolutely no congressional oversight?
I would offer that you are not entirely to blame. What changed you is the seductive environment of power in which you have immersed yourselves. It is the nature of both houses of Congress which requires you to subordinate your virtue in order to get anything done until you have achieved a leadership role. To paraphrase President Reagan, it appears that the second oldest profession (politics), bears a remarkably strong resemblance to the oldest.
As the hirsute first Baron John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton (1834 -1902), English historian and moralist, so aptly and accurately stated, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” I’m only guessing that this applies to the female sex as well. Tell me, is there a more corrupt entity in this country than Congress?
While we middle class people continue to struggle, our government becomes less and less transparent, more and more bureaucratic, and ever so much more dictatorial, using Czars and Secretaries to tell us (just to mention a very few) what kind of light bulbs we must purchase, how much soda or hamburgers we can eat, what cars we can drive, gasoline to use, and what health care we must buy. Countless thousands of pages of regulations strangle our businesses costing the consumer more and more every day.
As I face my final year, or so, with cancer, my president and my government tell me “You’ll just have to take a pill,” while you, Senator, your colleagues, the president, and other exulted government officials and their families will get the best possible health care on our tax dollars until you are called home by your Creator while also enjoying a retirement beyond my wildest dreams, which of course, you voted for yourselves and we pay for.
The chances of you reading this letter are practically zero as your staff will not pass it on, but with a little luck, a form letter response might be generated by them with an auto signature applied, hoping we will believe that you, our senator or representative, has heard us and actually cares. This letter will, however, go on line where many others will have the chance to read one person’s opinion, rightly or wrongly, about this government, its administration and its senators and representatives.
I only hope that occasionally you might quietly thank the taxpayer for all the generous entitlements which you have voted yourselves, for which, by law, we must pay, unless, of course, it just goes on the $19 trillion national debt for which your children and ours, and your grandchildren and ours, ad infinitum, must eventually try to pick up the tab.
My final thoughts are that it must take a person who has either lost his or her soul, or conscience, or both, to seek re-election and continue to destroy the country that I deeply love. You have put it so far in debt that we will never pay it off while your lot improves by the minute, because of your power.
For you, Senator, will never stand up to the rascals in your House who constantly deceive the American people. And that, my dear Senator, is how power has corrupted you and the entire Congress. The only answer to clean up this cesspool is term limits. This, of course, will kill the goose that lays your golden eggs. And woe be to him (or her) who would dare to bring it up.
Sincerely,
Bill Schoonover

Lost Boys
That’s the model for the modern leading male. They are emotional cripples struggling to keep from leaping off a roof. Even James Bond has been turned into a head case. The last one I saw had him dealing with mommy issues.
Of course, male leads today almost always look like a pillow-biter’s wet dream. Steve Sailer has pointed out that most casting directors in Hollywood are effeminate gay men. The others are middle-aged women so the casting of male leads tends toward the fantasy male that appeals to old maids and queens. The result is steroidal freaks, who look like they spend all their time at the YMCA working out, among other things. keep reading…
On Their Own
Slight Of Hand
You know, after Trump called his wife ugly and said his dad might have plugged Kennedy.
The Trumptards think that Ted Cruz should submit to the Might of Trump and bend the knee.
It is amazing to me that while we debate who will be president, stupid motherfuckers continue focusing on the only thing their little minds can grasp: whether this Personality was deferential to my Hero Personality.
Trump treated Cruz viciously enough that Cruz is completely disburdened of the obligation of supporting him. At some point, you’ve insulted your way out of an endorsement.
Trump picked the Rules of Engagement. He has to live with them.
Now I still favor Trump over Hillary Clinton. here….

The Lie Of White Privilege
Hating whites and killing white cops is an end to a means by a grievance industry that feeds on chaos. Blacks need look in the mirror for their perceived injustices.
“Progressives tell me that I don’t know what it is like to be a young black man in America. Well, that much is true. I’m 57, white and grew up on a farm, so I will never know what that is like – but I do have some observations about the condition and since I grew up dirt poor in northeast Mississippi in the 60’s and 70’s, I probably know a little more about being poor than many of the many progressive politicians and pundits who are currently offering up reasons why I should give up my white privilege.
I also have traveled extensively around the world, most likely more than most, if not all, of the leaders of the various radical #blacklivesmatter groups and I have seen what it is like to truly be a member of a group that is destined to be oppressed simply by accident of birth.
I freely admit that I don’t know what it is like to be a young black man in America, nor will I ever know – but I also know that young black men in America have no idea what it would be like to be them outside America. I also know that because I started poor and white and became successful in spite of those conditions, I have nothing to apologize for.” here….
