RIP RUSH


Rush Limbaugh, the Doctor of Democracy, passed away today the age of 70 due to lung cancer.

Rush began his career working with the Kansas City Royals, and remained close friends with Royal Hall of Famer George Brett.  As a life long Royals whose favorite all time player is George Brett,  I felt I had a sort of kinship with the both of them.

I started listening to Rush in 1989 and have always been proud to be a dittohead. Rush saved talk radio, and paved the way for many people who are stalwarts in the industry today, inclusive of Mark Levin, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. We all owe a debt gratitude to Rush for that alone.

The left despised Rush, considering him the most dangerous man in America. As far as identifying their hideous objectives, they had good reason to be alarmed. Nobody understood the political landscape like El Rushbo. He had a keen ability to ascertain the political objectives and avenues of pursuit of those trying to transform our beloved United States of America. 

Rush provided political theatre which was entertaining and astonishingly accurate. He treated his audience with respect and kindness, and made us all welcome to be a party to it all.

President Donald Trump recently awarded Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  It was an honor which floored Limbaugh, but it was very well deserved. 

Rush Limbaugh cannot be replaced. I will miss him dearly. RIP Rush!

Rush employed many guest hosts over the years, but perhaps the favorite of the legion of Limbaugh followers was Mark Steyn, whose employed with elegance outstanding knowledge and wit. Steyn is fantastic.

Today, on Steynonline, Mark Steyn penned a post about Rush that says it all. Please read the piece, linked below, which closes in the best possible way: Talent Returned to God!

Cowardly Whiplash

"James Comey is a poisonous snake of the highest order… a deep-water Swamp Denizen who has been highly paid to deliberately provide cover for high-level corruption by the Clintons and Obama. He has been central to trying to destroy the Trump campaign and then the Trump administration from the start. He is as dirty as they come in DC. He had highest-level cover (the FBI no less) and was deep into an effort to eliminate Trump."

It makes sense, as the recent actions and testimonies of FBI Director Comey have been bewildering, appearing to tightrope appeal to both sides while using the law and agency discretion seemingly at whim. Is the reason for these "interesting" actions because he is an elite fixer?

"I'll say this for the suddenly departed FBI honcho James Comey: He's caused enough cases of whiplash to collapse Obamacare before the end of the week" wrote Mark Steyn.

Without question, Comey's tenure was a circus act, and he had to go.

Then came his Congressional testimony.





















The left was hoping he would drop a bomb which would fuel the fire to impeach President Trump. Boy howdy, the level of disappointment they must have.

Comey had no smoking gun within his testimony, revealing a significant dislike for Trump. However, Comey seemed to create more questions than he answered.

He appeared to commit perjury based upon previous testimony when he described himself as playing a role in leaking information to the media. In addition, questions were raised about his lack of control of presumed confidential conversation.

What other information did Comey feel it necessary to leak?

Another interesting portion of his testimony is when he described waking up in the middle of the night, thinking that if tapes existed Trump may potentially release, he had to get out front of it by leaking his version of the events.  Well, if he was accurate about what happened, it would seem to me he would sleep fine knowing he would be vindicated upon their release.  He did not, and that tells you about everything you need to know.

Comey also described troubling actions by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, seeming to implicate himself in inconsistent action and potentially partisan obstruction.

“We need to round up all those people he [Comey] talked to – because we have a conspiracy remaining a foot in the Department of Justice that is going to be out to destroy this president and they’ve got to be fired if not worse.” - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R:TX).

Comey comes across well to the ill informed; however, his a deeply partisan egotistical individual who if given the opportunity, would plan to direct outcomes to his hearts delight.

Thankfully, he has been removed from having that opportunity, and should actually be investigated.

Voluntary Invasion

Mark Steyn
The Barbarians Are Inside, And There Are No Gates

Mark Steyn has it right. The gates have been intentionally opened and the barbaric terrorists are here, let in by acts of treason by our elected officials.

Europe has been voluntarily invaded, and an invasion of the United States is underway, under full consent of our president, Barack Obama.

As Steyn notes, "screw the candlelight vigil", it is time to go eliminate the enemy, political correctness be damned. However, under Obama, it will not happen, as those we view as evil terrorists he considers oppressed freedom fighters, which gives indication to whose side he is on in the war on terror.

The Turnstile of Terror

Here in America, those who aim for chaos are protesting in the streets against the nation's law enforcement over false yet perceived truths regarding treatment of minorities. Most of these folks are paid operatives, with a smaller percentage useful idiots who are all too eager to fight the man.

Sadly, thanks to the horrendous policies of the Obama administration, these morons might soon be clamoring for the help of our talented and outstanding law enforcement officials, as all of us have been proclaimed as targets for Radical Islamic terrorists around the world. It should be noted members of the terrorist groups that aim us harm are in the United States.

So, it goes without saying that freedom everywhere suffered at the hands of the terrorist act in Paris last week; an act without question perpetrated by Radical Islamic terrorists.

While President Obama has declared the global war on terror over and al Qaeda on the run, the actual terrorists are running roughshod across the globe, seizing territory and engaging in murderous mayhem.  ISIS, Boko Haram, al Qaeda; you name it, they are calling out their targets and inflicting terror.

While there are many recent terrorist acts worth noting, the events in Paris, where Radical Islamic terrorists killed 17 people in incidents at two location, seem to have the feel of the shark being jumped.

As Mark Steyn so appropriately said, "Obama talked the talk, but those guys walked the walk."

The Obama administration refuses to publicly recognize who is actually inflicting these acts of terrorism across the globe, such a glaring omission that even the mainstream media is down right confused. Why can't the Obama administration admit what the entire globe knows; that Radical Islamic terrorists are committing acts of terrorism in increasing and alarming fashion from sea to shining sea?

Perhaps we should think back.  Obama passed judgement on those who would dare "slander the prophet of Islam".  You may recall this quote from a speech Obama made last year at the United Nations:  "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam".

In page 261 of Obama's book "Audacity of Hope", Obama stated the following: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction".  So when the world came together for a unity rally in Paris, it should not shock anyone that Obama would not be in attendance.  While some exhibit their colossal ignorance thinking it was an oversight, or perhaps not feasible due to logistics, Obama has told us where he stands; over and over again.  There is no way he would attend the rally.

While the French Prime Minister appropriately labeled France as "at war with Jihadism and Radical Islam", it did not take long for some backtracking, even by French President Francois Hollande, and for many on the left to blame France for the attack.   While French policies of appeasement and socialism have led to a failed society of multiculturalism, the entire blame for the terrorist attacks lands squarely on the feet of the Radical Islamic terrorists who committed the acts.

Connecting the dots is not difficult.  As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu correctly stated speaking at the rally, "the world is now understanding the threat of extreme Islamic terrorism".  Far be it for me, but I though this was quite clear at about 4:30PM on September 11, 2001.

President Obama is lacking in so many regards, but intelligence is not among that list.  Obama has a long history of, at the very least, being sympathetic to groups, or nations, that are Muslim and coexist with terrorists and their organizations.  Note his position, against American policy, as an opponent of Israel.  Note his warmth to The Muslim Brotherhood, and his swift anger with Egypt who dared to oppose their actions. Consider his lack of action as agents of Islamic terror move toward forming a Greater Syria establishing a caliphate in the middle east.

And ask yourself why under Obama does the United States continue to release prisoners who only return to wage terror on us again? Is he on their team? Obama seems to be operating a turnstile of terror.

As cynical as I am, I cannot believe President Obama wishes harm inflicted on world citizens by these agents of terror, but he certainly is not only sympathetic to Islam, he sides with them against us when "things turn ugly".  He told us so.

Things got "ugly" in France last week.  You saw where Obama stood, and it was not in France at the rally.

Truthful Issues & Insights

Although it may be a tall order to attract viewers given their anti-American stances, earlier today, Al Jazeera America launced in some 40 million homes through cable systems across America. The network is ambitious, hiring top talent, mostly from CNN, to become the face of the network here in the states.

The Hollywood Reporter, of all people, has a quick primer on the network.  The ownership is not fond of America, and has been supportive on and off the air of those who seek harm to Uncle Sam. 

For some reason; however, members of the left not only welcome, but push it as the place to get non biased, "real news".  This includes Hillary Clinton, who is currently engaged in some sort of coronation for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

The majority of the major cable outlets welcome Al-Jazeera, and all voices should be welcomed.  Of course, these same companies have for the most part rejected efforts by The Blaze, an American company, to be included on their systems.  Bias at play? Count on it.

Any information presented by Al-Jazeera should be absorbed with caution.  This is true for any new source, particularly the major news networks, whose portrayal of balance is non credible.  This includes blogs, including this one.  Information should be analyzed in order to formulate a sound basis for an opinion to be derived.

One of the top sources of information I utilize is Investors Business Daily.  I became a subscriber back in the early 1990's because William J. O'Neill had developed a proprietary stock evaluation system that was unrivaled.  Without question, pouring through the pages of IBD has been an invaluable tool for technical and fundamental analysis of stock performance.

However, over the years the editorial pages of IBD has become the top of the field, edging out the fine folks over at The Wall Street Journal.  The IBD editorial page allows the reader to find out what is really going on, something not found in most major newspapers or network or cable news. They say it like it is.

IBD offers no quarter to those who aim ill will against the freedom and prosperity of the United States, and that is an effort I can subscribe to.  The following is a sample of articles over the last few days, opinions based on facts presented for your consumption and evaluation, for your review.

Investors Business Daily
From our founding, we are a nation of laws, not men. Although there have been a multitude of missteps, we have always strived to operate beholden to the rule of law and a code of ethics.  This philosophy is not a tenant in the Obama administration, which if you get news from the mainstream media you may be unaware of.  IBD makes the case, noting Obama's Legacy Of Lawlessness.

Among the falsities being promulgated by the administration is that the onslaught of scandals engulfing the Obama administration are phony, but most everyone recognizes how deceitful and disrespectful that commentary is.  IBD won't assist in letting these scandals die, and has a piece about That "Phony" Fast And Furious Scandal.

America is waking up, and the Obama administration if quite fearful that everyone is about to recognize what an actual fraud Obama is.  To that extent, everyone who legally criticizes Commander Thin Skin must be publicly admonished, including a rodeo clown in Missouri.  Yeah, a rodeo clown. IBD comes out In Defense Of Rodeo Clowns in an editorial by Pulitzer Prize winning Cartoonist Michael Ramirez.
 

Mark Steyn

With the NSA scandal, not so phony at all, exploding down a rat hole of unlawful government activity, Americans from all factions of political arenas are quite concerned.  Guest columnist Mark Steyn, a true treasure, expresses a viewpoint that the Glum Fact Of Life Today: Our Privacy Is Vanishing.  It is vanishing in much more rapid fashion than you realize, and before it is too late, you should know the facts.

Analysis from the left and right is presented on a daily basis, and you should read each one to gain perspective regarding what those who see the world opposite of you are thinking and feeling.  Knowledge is power; right?

Eugene Robinson
Eugene Robinson, of The Washington Post, writes from the left that Obama Needs To Speak Truth About Egypt.  Robinson is an Obama guy, but he seems to understand the importance of the rule of law in our country. For Robinson to insinuate the truth is missing regarding this subject speaks volumes.  I cannot recall thinking, much less writing this, but Robinson is on point in this editorial.

Larry Kudlow
Lawrence Kudlow, a favorite of BAHL Revere, often offers economic commentary from the right in IBD.  Although I have a degree in Economics and find it most interesting, most folks do not. But it is vitally important for our citizens to have a basic understanding of how the economy ticks and what policies enhance economic growth which benefits our citizenry.  Kudlow, host of The Kudlow Report on CNBC, writes that the Obama History Of Economy Is But A Fairy Tale.

The crisis is Egypt is under reported in the mainstream media, but not at IBD.  In fact, not only are we being lied to about the severity of situation as it stands, but what actually was a trigger point for causing the crisis in the first place.  You guessed it, You Can Thank Obama's Ego For The Carnage and Crisis in Egypt.

Amidst all the anger and horror, could you imagine who is actually being blamed and targeted?  You won't find that information in the mainstream media, or Al-Jerzerra, but while the world is mum, IBD informs you The Muslim Brotherhood Targets Coptic Christians in Egypt.

Investors Business Daily is a reliable source for inquisitive readers to gain a solid perspective on the economic and geopolitical events that, while not commonly considered, do have a major effect on the everyday lives of our citizenry.

As we have said, The Salvation Of The State Is Watchfulness In The Citizen. At the top of list of outlets for the citizen to become informed is the editorial page of Investors Business Daily. In addition, you will gain command over your investment portfolio.

Washington Web Cam

With the NSA government surveillance of the people, a scandal of  in extreme violation of the first amendment, growing exponentially by the day, it is clear that nothing you do can be deemed private. Smart phones, HD internet attached monitors and your personal computer can all be utilized, without your consent, to monitor your activities.

It is a Brave New World out there gang.  Welcome to 1984!  Beck is on top of it as usual:



This government, which clearly cannot be trusted, is on record utilizing this type of information against political opponents, as Tea Party and 9-12 groups, along with Mitt Romney donors, can attest.  Even Mitt Romney himself was attacked by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D:NV.

With the government having access to every computer keystroke, they can attack their political opponents with this information.  Most would not want the public to be privy to all Google searches you have implemented.

Oh my goodness!  All those porn searches!  That information, if noted, in violation of my civil rights, could be used against me.  The list of folks who might mount a congressional run may have just got significantly reduced, but there will be no affect to BAHL Revere.

I have some working knowledge regarding the porn industry, having been a longtime listener to The King of All Media, Howard Stern, where members of the industry are frequent guests and due to following financial markets.  About a dozen years ago, I had the occasion to meet Jenna Jameson, who appeared in Stern's movie Private Parts, and who is perhaps the most famous of all porn stars.

It is worth noting that many of the woman working in this industry these days are much better looking than you may think.  Although I am sure many are doing as they please, and some like Ms. Jameson had done quite well for themselves financially, you would hope they had higher aspirations in life than going down the road to being participatory in porn performance.


Drunna
Recent research noted that there are a handful of past performers who have come out of retirement to work again, perhaps most notably the actress Julia Ann.  Two stars I noted were a very decent looking woman seemingly in her mid thirties called Drunna, who looks like a soccer Mom, and a relatively new performer called Brooklyn Chase, who is real cute. One has to wonder what paths they took to become stars in the industry rather than living normal lives like the rest of us.  Maybe it is all about the desire to be famous; who knows.

By the way, as Mark Steyn pointed out sitting in for Rush last week, stars often get their names by using the town they grew up in and the name of their dog. Brooklyn Chase, you are busted!

Recently, I learned that members of the porn industry were being targeted in an unusual way; financial markets.  Business Insider reported that members of the porn industry were being denied business banking accounts and denied lending opportunities due their profession.

The article reports that porn star Chanel Preston learned her business checking account had been shut down because the bank was worried about the Webcam shows she had on her site and had revoked the account.

In addition, the article discusses a lawsuit filed by Marc Greenberg, of MRG Entertainment, against JP Morgan Chase, who claimed JP Morgan Chase denied him a loan because of his association in the adult entertainment industry, citing moral reasons.  The court system will aim to figure out whether Greenberg was in fact discriminated against.

The Business Insider article also referenced a CNBC report about web cam girls which noted film and video distribution is giving way to Internet sites and Web cams. As a result, barriers to entry in the industry are being lowered and more of the industry is being based out of homes and being run through small business arrangements and partnerships, necessitating banking services.

Sadly, the government is much more involved in our home business, in more ways than one, than we ever imagined.  Their unwarranted and illegal intrusion is a violation of the civil rights of our citizenry and must be appropriately and legally dealt with. This is one of several areas which exhibit that our government is completely out of control.

With the government lurking about in an Orwellian nature, it may be time to break off those relationships with the cam girls and shut down that web cam.  Big brother is watching.

Sunday Night Song

It has been s strange week in the political arena this week, highlighted perhaps by the oddity of a composite woman. As it turns out, in his book "Dreams From My Father", Obama, or perhaps Bill Ayers, skirted the truth once again in code speak by morphing several girlfriends into a "composite woman".

Obama claimed to be so intellectually superior to these misguided women that they lost their own identity in his book, and in his mind.

The emergence of this story, coupled with the Obama campaign introducing us to Julia, who needs the assistance of our gifted Commander in Arrogance throughout her entire life and Obama crackpot crony and aspiring Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren claiming Native American status all the while insulting our Native American friends.

The collection of these stories this week has opened the floodgates for political fodder, with the best analysis presented by the sharp witty mind of Mark Steyn in a recent Investors Business Daily editorial.

Perhaps blinded by arrogance, one must marvel at the imagination Obama is blessed with.  From having to spend time with in his early years with white women who failed to quite understand the anger and need to get down with the struggle to thinking his presidency is a rousing success, it is astonishing.

Imagination run wild.

This brings us to a fantastic ballad about imagination and composite women of the mind; Atlanta Rhythm Section and their 1977 smash Imaginary Lover. Unfortunately, Obama's private pleasure of a socialist utopia are ruining our the lives our citizens at an alarming rate.  If only his intentions were imaginary. 

Anyhow, November is coming, with satisfaction guaranteed, God willing. In the meantime, a classic tune in Imaginary Lover should brighten the mood.

Enjoy!

Eco-tional Rescue

While guest hosting for Rush Limbaugh today, Mark Steyn could hardly keep his composure. I was right there with him, in tears while keeping my gas guzzling SUV hammer down in the fast lane on I-4. And for good reason!

Steyn was recounting a story from the BBC, and it is a howl. A group of Eco sailors, you know, left wing global warming idiots, were in the midst of a 500 mile trip to Greenland on a boat named the Fleur, aimed to rely on sail, solar and man power. Isn't that nice.

As education systems around the world make efforts to brainwash our children on the horrendous (unproven) plight known as man made global climate change, some 40 schools across the UK were following the progress of the trip.

Mayday! Mayday! "Atrocious" weather apparently ripped the wind generators and solar panels off the boat, resulting in the crew taking refuge in the cabin, powerless. I bet they wish they were powered by those gas guzzling 350 Chevy block MerCruiser inboards?

America, this is not the first group of global warming novice would be Christopher Columbus yachtsman plucked from the sea this year, and although I cannot imagine, it won't be the last. I appreciate the passion, but there is something known as common sense, and it seems foreign to these idiots who are hell bent on being right on this while substantial evidence to the contrary continues to mount.

In an article on Anthony Watt's super climate oriented blog, guest poster William DiPuccio, in an article about ocean heat, quotes Albert Einstein, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” This is applicable with respect to these alarmists. Anti global warming folks, although stacked with evidence, are labeled as anti-earth while idiots like this continue to fail in proving their ideas while foolish governments fund unnecessary green projects at taxpayers expense.

Maybe Al Gore will solve the housing crisis? He predicts south Florida will be under water next year. That will do away with overhang of inventory in the condos down there in a heartbeat.

Although the sailors were "overwhelmingly relieved to be safe" and gave heartfelt thanks to the coastguards for their professionalism as well as to the outstanding captain and crew of the Overseas Yellowstone," they should not have attempted such a bold expedition with unproven power options resulting in them needing rescue.

Mother Ocean is boss, as many a man has found out the hard way over time. So is man made progress, and the industrialization of modern technology, including fossil fuel. With that in mind, in the mother of all irony, the rescuing vessel, the Overseas Yellowstone, was as God wanted it, an oil tanker.

God Bless America!
