A Nod To The Gods

I blame myself. Quite a few glasses of wine, nightly news, all of the political posturing, and I am fit to be tied.

What in the hell happened to this country? Every time I turn around somebody has been caught or implicated in some kind of scam at the taxpayers expense. They just don’t give a rats ass about the money. It seems to be just an endless supply of cash for them to do whatever the hell they want. When will the American people say enough is enough? I am tired…I mean really tired.

After five decades of wandering this barren wasteland trying my best just to get by, this kind of blatant theft at the hands of our elected officials is sickening. The game of he said, she said is getting to be old hat. The game of one party “really looking into” Benghazi, IRS, Fast & Furious, and the other myriad of scandals and the other side trumpeting gay rights, the war on women, blah blah blah just seems like window dressing for ALL of them. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is ever settled with someone being held accountable.

I’m tired and I am going to bed. I hope the sun is just a little brighter tomorrow.

While the media gorges itself on the story of Chris Christie shutting down a bridge one day last year, a real political scandal is brewing in New Jersey filled with corruption, millions in fraud and waste, and a Democrat appointed official pleading the Fifth and the media? Well, the media is ignoring it all.

Even as Newark, New Jersey was laying off policemen and was pleading for more tax money and state bailouts, it has now been discovered that a heavily employed city contractor was stealing millions from the city with crony deals and bribery and it’s all tied to people appointed by Cory Booker–the man many Democrats think might be the “next” Barack Obama. There is even no-work jobs to buddies and other such criminal waste.

All this comes from investigations into a city agency called the Watershed Conservation Development Corporation, an entity that supposedly monitored and managed the city’s 35,000 acres of reservoirs and other water resources.

The Watershed agency was disbanded last year, but not before Booker’s buddies stole millions from the city.    keep reading

I have seen this quote before and I believe I posted it under the guise of a journalist from the Czech Republic last year, but the quote sounds right. I hope they actually find out who the quote should be attributed too because it deserves a round of applause. I am fairly certain is was not Vaclav Klaus…but what the hell, the statement stands for itself.

The Affordable Death Act seems to be doing what the Republicans claimed it would do. If 2014 does not give the GOP both houses, we will know that America cannot be saved.

In an emotional Sunday Wall Street Journal editorial, Ralston College President Stephen Blackwood wrote that Obamacare has made his mother’s cancer battle a nightmare that will “accelerate her disease and death.” He detailed how her Obamacare plan no longer covers the cost of her essential Sandostatin cancer medication, which totaled $14,000 since January 1 alone. 

Blackwood said his mother, Catherine, had a “terrific” Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan for almost 20 years until Obamacare canceled it. After navigating the “bureaucratic morass” of enrolling in Obamacare, Blackwood says his mother was informed that “the only way to find out in detail what was in the plan was to buy the plan.” 

What happened next, writes Blackwood, was shocking. 

“Then on Feb. 12, just before going into (yet another) surgery, she was informed by Humana that it would not, in fact, cover her Sandostatin, or other cancer-related medications,” he explained. “The cost of the Sandostatin alone, since Jan. 1, was $14,000, and the company was refusing to pay.” 

Blackwood added, “Obamacare made my mother’s old plan illegal, and it forced her to buy a new plan that would accelerate her disease and death…The ‘Affordable’ Care Act is a brutal, Procrustean disaster.” – keep reading here

Immigration laws are the only laws that are discussed in terms of how to help people who break them. One of the big problems that those who are pushing “comprehensive immigration reform” want solved is how to help people who came here illegally and are now “living in the shadows” as a result.
What about embezzlers or burglars who are “living in the shadows” in fear that someone will discover their crimes? Why not “reform” the laws against embezzlement or burglary, so that such people can also come out of the shadows? – Thomas Sowell

Of course bringing the embezzlers and burglars out of the shadows would not guarantee them voting democrat….oh wait…what? Never mind.
