Rubio Rising

From the Freedom Tower in Miami, Florida Senator Marco Rubio on Monday announced he will enter the race to seek the republican nomination for president in 2016.

While Rubio possesses a boatload of the attributes most would consider presidential, most thought he would wait a few cycles to get in the race.  However, although the field is expected to be strong, inclusive of mentor Jeb Bush, Rubio concluded the time is now.

Having watched Marco Rubio rise in the Florida House, combined with his most compelling history and appreciation for the risk and reward component of free market capitalism, I strongly supported Rubio as he battled the unprincipled Charlie Crist to become my Senator from Florida.

While Rubio has most impressive in many ways during his senate tenure, his entrance in the immigration debate, an issue for which is recognized Rubio has great passion, joining with the gang of eight to arrive at a bill of compromise that seemingly violated the principles we entrusted him to protect.  I consider this Rubio's choice in this area of legislation one which Rubio will have to fight to overcome, but according to a report, Rubio may have reasoning that could be deemed somewhat credible.

Unlike Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic opponent, Rubio is a real person, a family man who embraces the history and traditions of America, from the Constitution to NFL football.  Rubio is a big fan of the Miami Dolphins, with his wife Jeanette a former cheerleader for the Fins.

Rubio should not be discounted. Although Jeb Bush is a very capable and smart guy, perhaps the best of the Bush family, America seems to want to stay out of the Bushes and due to progressive positions inclusive of but not limited to Common Core, conservatives are most weary of Bush as well.  Therefore, Rubio can not only win Florida from Bush, but also the nation.

It seems Rubio will have to beat Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and potentially Scott Walker for the nomination. On the campaign trail, few will be able to match Rubio with his youthful exuberance and passion, high level command of the Constitutional principles our governance should be adhering to and his extremely compelling personal story.  Add in his Cuban heritage, he has the chance to secure a large portion of the minority vote.

Contrary to media assessments and the propaganda released from the Democrats, the GOP is blessed to have three candidates in Cruz, Paul and Rubio to choose from.  I look forward to vigorous and respectful debate from this group, and other potential candidates who step forward, in the upcoming months.

Futures Begin With A Pop

Over the last several years, it has been a great pleasure of mine to have participated with the events for young athletes and scholars through the Pop Warner organization.  I have attended many a football game, with eyes fixated not only on the gridiron, but on the lovely young cheerleader teams lending their support.

Like any organization of this scope with such a long history, Pop Warner is not without their share of issues. With a strong participation from volunteers, it sort of goes with the territory.  But it should be noted, and it will be here and now, that the opportunities presented to our youth through this fine organization are endless, as the life lessons obtained will power the success of these future leaders for a lifetime.

The regional and national awards banquets are an outstanding avenue of recognition for the scholar athletes, who are recognized not only for their athletic prowess but for their work in the classroom and in the community.

Should you have children of age, I would highly recommend you giving consideration to having your child be participatory in the opportunities afforded within this organization.  Not only have hundreds of thousands of children benefited from their involvement, many parents have as well.  Friendships formed help form the bedrock of  principles many of us as individuals and teammates seek to hold dear.

As my time has expired for intimate involvement, I will cherish with great appreciation the time spent with my family and other families as we supported the fine young people involved, who without doubt, will be the future leaders of this great country.

May God Bless them all!

A Champion of Distortion and Failure

On Sunday, the inevitable announcement came that Hillary Clinton will be running for president, seeking the Democratic nomination that slipped through her fingers in 2008 when a dashing community organizer with spiteful disdain for America appeared as the one the progressive left has been dreaming about stole it away.

Although this has the look of a coronation, even with the Clinton's setting the rules of engagement for the media and potential primary opponents, it is hard to imagine that no other Democrat wants this job.

Almost immediately, her campaign is full full of missteps and mistruths.  For example, she went on a bus tour stopping along the way at a Chipolte (owned by huge Democrat supporters ) for a bite to eat, just like the common man does each day.  Except, this is activity she simply does not engage in, having not paid for a meal in decades and reportedly not having driven a car since 1996.  Hillary is far form a normal person, in fact loathing the little guy she purports to wake up every day to make life better for.

Hillary Clinton in staged Iowa event.

Today, she met with common folk for a chat, even though the "common folk" were driven to the location by campaign operatives. "Everyday" Iowans outside looking in had a rough day, but for those on the inside, it was sunshine and lollipops. For the Clintons, it is all a fabrication, and the joke is on us.

While she has logged many a mile, as prospective GOP candidate Carly Fiorina so appropriately pointed out, flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.  Clinton operatives are out touting her record, recently evidenced by Howard Dean noting she is the only candidate with foreign policy experience.

New flash to Dean; the experience is far from anything to brag about.  While she was Secretary of State, the situation in the middle wast has completely collapsed due to horrendous polices with the middle east left in ruin having become a major national security threat with Iran gaining legitimacy and strength.

Her reset with Russia have left us with Vladimir Putin invading countries and with our relationship with Russia at its lowest point since the conclusion of the cold war.  At best, her lack of attention to detail in Benghazi resulted in our Ambassador being murdered, along with three other heroes with nobody held in account for the tragedy.

Clinton lied about the incident to the American people, and made no mention about the real reason for the firefight, which was illegal gun running. But hey, what difference does it really make?

Recently, she lied about email accounts during her tenure as Secretary of State, where she destroyed emails of her experiences, skirting federal law. While due to this matter she should be facing jail time, it becomes evident that Clinton does not have to live by the same rules, or laws, you and I, and most other elected officials, do.

On a side note, I get real torqued when politicians think they are above it all and destroy documents that belong to the people and sever the preservation of the historical record., where the Clinton clan has along history, inclusive of Sandy Burglar.

We have informed you of the danger of Hillary Clinton in previous posts, most notably in this piece.  Hillary Clinton is a liar, far more interested in self promotion than the health and welfare of America, a country she has disdain for as evidenced by her close associations over the years with anti-American activists inclusive of Saul Alinsky and Frances Fox Piven.

Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to be your champion. I want individuals across the fruited plain to all be champions, forging their own path unencumbered by a controlling government. As Senator Rick Santorum recently said, "Clinton believes government is the solution to the challenges our nation faces, not the underlying cause of many of those problems".

She is an arrogant hypocrite, an intellectual progressive operative with disdain for the blue collar working families she professes to support, an individual who dreams of squelching free markets through taxation and regulation championing crony capitalism in support of self promotion and her political advocates all the while welcoming opportunities to abuse power.

In no way, shape or form is this an individual we should even remotely consider for our highest office.  She is a champion of distortion and failure.

Stand With Rand

After the opening day at ball parks across the fruited plain and the morning after the nets were cut down in Indianapolis, home of some ridiculous political chicanery in recent weeks, the announcement of a GOP candidate for president will be made, one for "A Different Kind of Republican Leader".



We need a new kind of republican representative in the presidential race, and perhaps Paul, with his libertarian leanings, can attract voters from differing areas of the spectrum and win the nomination.  Paul is throwing a wide net, and has reached out to the minority communities.

Should Paul win the nomination, he is positioned well to perhaps siphon off some the voters the Democrats have recently taken for granted. Any shift toward the GOP in some of the minority communities could bear substantial fruit.

I feel quite comfortable standing with Rand, and look forward to hearing more from him as the process continues.

Happy Easter

A Despicable Representative of the People

Sen. Harry Reid (D:NV)

Last week, with preparations for another campaign set to get off the ground with a scheduled event, Senator Harry Reid (D:NV) announced he will not seek re-election.

While America had hoped the citizens of Nevada would have handled this in previous elections, with a significant war chest boisterously buoyed by waves of corruption, Reid has always held off would be challengers.

Now, it appears his health has gotten the best of him.  While we wish no political individual ill will in a personal sense to any of those we disagree with politically, we cheer the departure of Sen. Reid, whom we deem a despicable representative of the people.

Sen. Reid is an arrogant liar, with limited respect for the checks and balances instilled by our founders who found the success and advancement of himself and those he supports above the will and future prosperity of the American people.  Reid lied on the Senate floor, slandering GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney about having not paid taxes, and assaulted the Koch brothers for no apparent reason.

The damage he has done leading the senate, prohibiting legislation from being voted on and paralyzing the will of the people, is staggering. Beyond that, time and time again, Reid has exhibited disdain for our military. You may recall he said the surge in Iraq was failure and the war was lost.

As we have previously posted, Senator Reid is reprehensible and rancid and the type of individual without a moral compass our founders warned us about.

Supposedly Reid had an early January accident in his home, giving him a shiner to behold; however, that may not be quite true either.  Perhaps somebody put five across his eyeball?

While Reid may indeed be in failing health, and many have noticed he has appeared to slip in recent months, could it be that there is anticipation of the GOP holding the White House and the Congress, which may lead to investigations of the mounting evidence of Reid's actions which beg an ethics inquiry?

History will not be kind to this despicable representative of the people.  The citizens of Nevada should have booted him years ago, and thanks to their ineptitude, our nation must suffer much of the consequences.

Cruz Control

Sen. Ted Cruz R:TX

On Monday, Senator Ted Cruz, a republican from Texas, announced he will seek the GOP nomination for president in 2016.  Cruz was first of many who are expected to enter the race.

Sadly, as expected, his entrance sparked explosive commentary from the entire spectrum of political discourse.

You will not find a more glaring example of hypocrisy among all the smiling faces of many of your favorite left wing lunatics and politicians (actually one in the same) than their reaction to the entry of Sen. Cruz. Many left wing pundits seemed stunned, which is bull crap as those wagering the field had very high odds on Cruz getting in.

Then came the comparisons to Obama, and these are nothing short of pure comedy.

When Obama ran as a first term Senator, one who voted present most often, he was viewed as fresh, with bold new ideas.  Cruz, who has challenged the broken Washington machine on numerous occasions, has been labeled inexperienced, not ready for the vigor associated with our highest office.  This "inexperience" had no bearing on the left in 2000, as we elected a president with no executive experience of any kind.

Then came questions about the birthplace of Cruz, and if he is eligible to be president.  Cruz was born in Canada and is a natural born citizen and has produced any and all necessary paperwork to close the issue, unlike Obama.  Although it has not been a focus on this blog, Obama has skirted producing paperwork to close up his issue in this arena.  Those on the right who have questioned Obama's birthplace have been ridiculed and deemed racist, but that is not the case for those questioning Cruz.

Due to his entry in the race, Cruz's wife Heidi, took a leave of absence from her position at Goldman Sachs, and with that, Cruz had to seek health insurance.  Therefore, he enrolled in Obamacare, which since Cruz has vowed to repeal every word of Obamacare, seems beyond entertaining to the left.  Sadly, Obamacare is the law of the land, and Cruz is simply following the law.  This, of course, is a foreign concept to Obama and his Obamabots nationwide.

The mainstream media, who watch and cheer while Obama violates the Constitution seemingly on a daily basis, has joined in lockstep with all the talking points, bashing Cruz at every turn on anything and everything.

Why should he left have all the fun?

You just knew those on the progressive right would jump in with the Democrats and hit Cruz.  Karl Rove, who backs Jeb Bush, immediately came forward in an attempt to discredit Cruz.  I could have initiated a countdown waiting for Rep. Peter King of New York to come out swinging.  The former boxer must have had his head hit too much, for he is clueless on Cruz, his record and his chance to win.  King, who sits on numerous committess enabling the decline of America, has also gone after Sen Rand Paul.

I must admit I was surprised to see some folks I respect hit Cruz, inclusive of Greg Gutfeld and Eric Boling of "The Five" and DW Ulsterman.  Gutfeld thinks Cruz lacks vision for country, but has plenty for himself, which I totally disagree with. The position Ulsterman takes, along with Boling, is that, although he thinks very highly of Cruz, he deems him not ready at this time.  Among the hosts on "The Five", Breitbart reports that Kimberly Guilfoyle, perhaps the most beautiful woman on news television, was the most receptive to the candidacy of Cruz.

It is way too early to handicap the field for me, but I would list Tex Cruz at or very near the top of my list. What I do know is that those attempting to discredit Cruz are speaking very loudly about something they do not want you to hear.

Progressive opponents of freedom and liberty; those who aspire for big government and crony capitalism, will ridicule and distort the facts, screaming loudly about opponents they fear the most.  Are you listening?

 

Attacking Allies, Foreign and Domestic

On Tuesday, ISIS slaughtered 22 Tunisian tourists in yet another striking act of mind boggling violent terrorism. They are hacking heads with reckless abandon. One would think our Commander in Chief would be very concerned about such repeated action by these agents of evil.

But what have we found? While finding time to join ESPN to announce his NCAA basketball tournament selections, Obama has struck out in attack. Not against ISIS mind you, but against Israel and re-elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

With our tax dollars, the Obama administration sent operatives over to try to help Netanyahu's opponent win office.  While many point to the arrogance associated with Obama, and his juvenile and petulant attitude toward those who dare challenge him, the fact of the matter is far more troubling and dangerous.

Obama is dead set on a two state solution between the Palestinians and the Israelis, which is something Netanyahu could support if he were dealing in legitimate negotiation with a party trusted to adhere to the terms. This simply is not close to reality; therefore, Netanyahu and Israel will not be party to a charade.

Therefore, Obama and his team will flex muscle and attack Netanyahu and Israel for being "uncooperative". Obama Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said today that "an occupation that has lasted more than 50 years must end".  With apologies to Obama and McDonough, it is not an "occupation" and for Obama and his team to move toward forcing Israel into such an agreement would be governance against the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly support Israel in this matter.

President Obama and his administration have made effort to make our longstanding allies enemies and our enemies, from those deemed political all the way to those who have initiated and seek out harm to our nation and our people, our friends.  Imagine that?

Although few do, I know what I am dealing with President Obama.  As we have established in numerous posts, we deem him an anti-colonialist with little regard or appreciation of the traditions and history of this nation.  Obama is seeking the rise of the caliphate, the rising of a Muslim nation along the lines of the old Ottoman Empire, which would rival if not totally eclipse Israel in the region.

The conclusions I have drawn might seem extremist when compared to the carefully placed rhetoric presented the American people, but a closer examination of the actions reasonably confirm the findings.

The negotiations Obama has entered into with Iran are a deadly example.  Iran, through their militant armies in Hezbollah and Hamas, have been fighting against our troops for decades, and this includes supplying the weaponry used against our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Additionally, Iran has not come close to demonstrating the necessary responsibility and trustworthiness to be a sensible player at the negotiating table.

For President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, to be working a deal with our enemy to allow their ability to gain command of a nuclear weapon, one they profess will be utilized to eliminate Israel, is treasonous in my view.

Do the Democrat members of Congress realize what these two opponents of America are engaged in? Do the American citizens, who voted for these men, have any working knowledge of the serious and dangerous shift in policy being embarked upon.  Have they not seen the wreckage that has engulfed the middle east with Obama and his cast of characters in orchestration?

A few weeks back we wondered with others if Barack Obama is the worst American president ever or the first anti-American president?  We answered both, and sadly, it is becoming crystal clear for anyone opening their eyes we were correct.

When you place the treatment of Israel, which is without question related to the Iranian negotiations and the efforts at establishing the caliphate with the orchestrated demise of our economy complete with suffocating regulation and taxation, class warfare, political correctness, the degrading of our military and police, the instigation of internal hostilities inclusive of race relations, the adversion to the truth, the takeover of health and education and the attack on Christianity within America, you have all the makings of an administration seeking to take down a country from within.

“The United States will never stop working for a two-state solution and a lasting peace that Israelis and Palestinians so richly deserve,” said McDonough.  The Palestinians, led by Iranian proxy fighters Hezbollah and Hamas, deserve no such agreement, as they have in the past and continue as we speak to fight against our armed forces in the region.  Those attempting to assist them should be considered as aiding and abetting our enemy, which last I knew, was defined as treason.

Gore Fits Obama's Controlling System

The anointing of Hillary Clinton as the 2016 Democratic nominee for president has ran into some quick sand, due to her failing to adhere to best practices she forced her staff to follow and violating the law by withholding correspondence and documents during her destructive tenure as Secretary of State.

Hillary Clinton, as we have previously noted on numerous occasions, is not worthy of holding higher office in our government.  Beyond being a socialist disciple of Saul Alinsky, she has no service of merit, had a disastrous tenure as Secretary of State with debacles with a Russia "reset" and oversaw the horrendous events of Benghazi.  She is an elitist member of the ruling class, and a liar.

Who knew long shot GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina would have the line of the month, noting that all the flying Ms. Clinton fancies as accomplishment is actually nothing more than an activity. BAM!

There will be those that will continue to love her no matter what; the ready for Hillary crowd.  These people are brainwashed idiots; our liberal friends who know so much that is not so.

The pundits backing Clinton are blaming the GOP for stirring up this trouble, part of the "right wing conspiracy" she claimed has been after her and her husband for decades.  If only it were true.

The GOP leadership is feckless, and would not know how to knock Ms. Clinton off her game if they had the playbook.  Sadly, as evidenced by the lack of measurable resistance to Obama, many must agree with policies she advances.

Famed author Ed Klein has it right.  It is Obama, and more specifically his henchwoman Valerie Jarrett, who is going after Hillary.  Obama and his backers are not supporting Clinton, thinking she is not leftist enough to continue the Obama policies, and are the ones who are attacking her campaign.

Jarrett has reportedly been in talks with both Elizabeth Warren and Martin O'Malley to step in as the preferred candidate after Clinton is disposed of.  But, there is one individual who, in his arrogance, would love to step in; Al Gore.

Gore is a complete buffoon to most, but to those progressive elitists who champion control over the people, the work Gore has put in in the arena of climate change is most appreciated. Should Gore ride in, it would immediately prompt America to debate global warming, which I deem among the greatest hoaxes of all time.

In the early pages of Cleon Skousen's Five Thousand Year Leap, government is accurately defined as "as system of ruling or controlling".  The American Founders measured political systems in terms of the amount of coercive power or systematic control which a particular system exercises over its people, with the yardstick not political parties, but political power.

Global Climate Change is a manufactured mechanism to, under a perceived fear of the unknown, seize an element of control over the people through measured deemed reasonable to combat the propagandized threat.

Gore claims the science is settled, although nothing could be further from the truth.

Just this week, Gore claimed those who disagreed with his "settled" science should be punished punitively. For all the moonbats who think Gore would be a ideal candidate, imagine for a moment how damaging his proposal to punish punitively those who disagree with government policy is to our founding principle of freedom of speech.

Gore, like Hillary Clinton and most certainly Barack Obama, claim to be fighters for the little people, but favor and implement polices that restrict freedom for all and provide substantial road blocks to those who are aiming to seize the personal freedom and achievement this glorious nation offers.

Think about giving some fish to eat, rather than teaching how to fish and become self sufficient.  Only those powerful enough to dish out entitlements are powerful enough to take them away.

And with the restrictions and regulations being placed on our corporations and citizens by elected officials who cannot predict when it will rain next, in the the name of Global Climate Change, expenses are increased and freedoms are indeed lost. This political power exercised over the people hurts the lower income people the most, the very people these leftist liars claim to be breaking their backs to help.

What would help is less government, which showers the people with freedom and liberty.

Opponent Within

As media reports about the upcoming presidential election increase, it should be noted, Hillary Clinton, presumed to be the nominee of the Democrat party for president in 2016, has the opinion we should have empathy for our enemies.

President Obama, attempting to escape the legislative confines of the US Congress, seeks to unilaterally strike a deal, perhaps through UN action, with Iran, whose government leadership is a significant opponent of the United States and at the very best an untrustworthy player in the deadly serious arena of nuclear weaponry.

In stark contrast to decades of US foreign policy under presidents of both parties, President Obama, although speaking to the contrary, seems to be negotiating a deal which would ultimately allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.

Others are taking notice, with evidence gathered from the actions, not the rhetoric. It makes one wonder if Iran and the Obama administration are coordinating their public relations efforts as well in their quest to arm Iran with a nuclear weapon.

Our conclusion is that President Obama is in favor of a caliphate being established in the region, and Iran could well be positioned by those seeking this as the leader of the new Muslim nation, similar to the old Ottoman Empire.

The utilization of the UN is an important nugget of information, as if the UN, and Obama, would be helpful to Iran gaining this position, they may be open to Obama, who may be in charge of the UN in a decade, having significant influence of the newly empowered region.

Should you be wondering about ISIS, and why little to nothing is being done by President Obama to thwart these murderous thugs, you may entertain that they consider ISIS to be performing a sort of cleansing, and when their usefulness is exhausted, they will be dealt with swift and powerful action.

Sadly, many members of the GOP really do not seem to worried about ISIS either, and therefore, we mus conclude they are in agreement with Obama.  Maybe many of them are more warm and fuzzy with the Muslim Brotherhood than we think.

One former member of the GOP would be dealing with Iran, and ISIS, in a much different manner.

Ronald Reagan knew peace would acquired by strength, not, at best, through a path of appeasement in joint ventures with dishonest brokers who plot the demise of The United States.  The actions of Obama are so outside of reasonable thinking with regard to international relations, you have to give strong consideration he and Uncle Sam are not dressed in the same uniform.

The conclusion I have drawn is that Obama is indeed transforming American from what it has traditionally been molding it to his hearts desire, which if far from the vision of our founders.  While BHO no doubt thinks his actions are superior to the framework of the founders, I view him as an opponent within. 

Every legally permissible action should be exhausted to stop him, but it seems most of the GOP embraces their power and lacks the internal integrity to keep America a beacon of freedom guided by principles of faith and the rule of law.

A Most Human Soul

Leonard Nimoy/Mr. Spock

Needless to say, I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Leonard Nimoy, who played the beloved Mr. Spock on the famed television series Star Trek.

Star Trek was always among my very favorite shows, and to this day, if I should catch it flipping through the channels, if time allows, I park it right there.  I know them all well, and greatly appreciate their brilliance.

Mr. Spock has always been, and will forever be, my friend.  Live Long and Prosper as you enter the genesis of your new journey.

A Little Bit of Freedom Relinquished is a Lot

Tumblr CEO David Karp joined the gang on CNBC's Squawk Box on Tuesday morning for a discussion on Net Neutrality.  It was an eye opening interview to be sure.  Take a listen:



Karp is nothing short of a moron, and it is mind boggling he has obtained the level of success he has.  What he knows about economics and freedom you could put in a thimble. Even though Andrew Ross Sorkin made valiant effort to bail out Karp, he firmly established himself as ill-equipped for such discussion.

I can assure you, as both Becky Quick and Joe Kernen pointed out, that companies are not going to spend money when they are assured of no return on investment, unless as Karp pontificated, we are in "new world" of socialism and "deals" with no return on investment leading promptly to bankruptcy.

In addition, Karp, no doubt inadvertently, noted how a "blessed a handful of partners" (crony capitalism) will do deals to present the next emerging platform.  Without a return on investment, perhaps Karp envisions the taxpayers funding these operations.

Meanwhile, Glenn Beck spoke with somebody, who even as an Obama supporter, understands the subject and the potential future role the legislation will play in the marketplace in Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.  Take a listen to the bleak picture Cuban foresees:



Although the particulars of the regulation are being hidden from the American people, who will have to learn about the horrors of it after it is passed, Net Neutrality is being shopped as regulating the allowance of everyone to get full bandwidth at even costs, fixing a problem that is not currently broken.

Net Neutrality, while allowing the government regulatory oversight it currently does not have and a taxation mechanism for a starving beast in the federal government, is actually a hidden vehicle to silence political opponents. With Net Neutrality, economic control by government will expand and freedom will retract, and a widespread assault on freedom of speech, something once upon a time we fought to the death to preserve, will commence.

NOTE: In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a longtime shareholder of both AT&T (T:NYSE) and Level 3 Communications (LVLT:NASDAQ).

Assault of Freedom of Speech in Net Neutrality

If you thought Obamacare was a fraud perpetrated against the American people, wait until you come to grips with Obama's effort to take over the Internet.  Titled Net Neutrality, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, Obamanet promises to fix an Internet that isn’t broken.

As Ronald Reagan so eloquently pointed out, government does not solve problems, it subsidizes them.

So, why would the government aspire to takeover huge industries? To fundamentally transform The United States of America?

Certainly, there is the taxation angle which, for a government too big to stop feeding itself, would increase revenue.

However, the costs would be a drag on economic growth, which has been most elusive under the tyrannical Obama administration.  Recall from your economic study that the more you tax something, the less of it you get, and that is a limitation on consumer choice.  You pick and choose your utility company, right? 

Then, of course, there is the regulatory angle, where the government seizes control over the industry, arbitrarily deciding, for the good of the people, which crony capitalism "partner" best deserves to control information.

Paraphrasing Reagan once again, when the government gets involved, it won't be the system malfunctioning but somebody mishandling the machinery, seemingly by design.

If you were progressive Democrats, regulation and taxation seem to be an adequate reasoning for embarking on such an endeavor.  But, this group is not your parents Democrats, and from listening to Obama representatives speak in their own words, I fear, like Obamacare, we are not being told the real plan at work here.

Introduce yourself to Mark Lloyd, who we have discussed here on the blog previously.  The former Diversity Czar under Obama, Lloyd speaks lovingly about how a similar takeover of the free press in Venezuela hastened the "glorious revolution" which gave Hugo Chavez smothering power over his political enemies.  For the record, Venezuela is now in economic shambles, and freedom is scarce.

Simply put, the Obama administration claiming they need to gain control over the Internet to fix non-existent issues which would if needed be more efficiently dealt with in the private sector world of competition is nothing more than a vehicle to encroach upon your freedom of speech, taxing and regulating free market commerce while silencing political enemies.

We do not need Net Neutrality, and the Obama administration, in particular, has soundly demonstrated they cannot be trusted with such responsibility.  Channeling the freedom loving mind of Reagan once more, what we need to do in this country is to alter the economic situation by changing one simple two letter word economic control by government to economic control of government.

Our founding fathers spoke of limited government, and expansive government control was something they wrote and warned vehemently against. The government has taken control over finance, energy and health, each of which are far worse off since governmental infiltration, has taken aim at the right to bear arms and now is in direct assault on communications.  

We are rapidly losing the freedoms most claim to hold dear in this country, and America had better wake up quick. If this battle is lost, a tyrannical government limiting, not only your freedom of speech, but your overall freedom, will gain a most significant foothold, one which will likely never be able to be regained.  

Tiny Travelers of Both Time and Space

You talk about music education! 

As reported by DailyDot.com, the Louisville Leopard Percussionists were virtually without peers!

These young students perform three Led Zeppelin tunes on vibraphones; a mind boggling exhibition you simply have to hear.

 

The performance drew cheers from none other than famed Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page on his Facebook page; deservedly so.

This music class, yet to be affected by the governmental constraints of Common Core, is no doubt led by a teacher engulfed with innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and a can do attitude, which as you can see at the end of the performance, translated beautifully to the performing children.

Put simply, this was masterful, and I was beyond impressed.

A future as wide as the ocean no doubt awaits these tiny travelers of both time and space. God Speed!

Deep Freeze

Once again, the nation finds itself in a deep freeze.



Just this past year, the Buffalo Bills had to move a game from the friendly confines of Orchard Park, NY to Detroit due to a massive snowstorm that left Ralph D. Wislon stadium unable to host a game. Boston has had reached a historical record in snowfall this year as well.  It was just a few years back NASCAR had to cancel qualifying at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway was snowed under this past week.

No doubt, it will be brutal tomorrow night at the High Banks at Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona Duel 150's.

Although the media continues to hammer the public about the horrors of man made global warming, or as they now phrase it, global climate change, even as the nation freezes to death, much of the public remain convinced there is merit to these claims.  In short, they do not believe their own thermometers.

Michael Raimrez/Investors Business Daily

We have long said that Global Warming, or Global Climate Change, is among the greatest hoaxes of all time, a vehicle of the transfer of wealth.  Investors Business Daily editorialized about the re-branding, designed to mask the truth, which seems frosted upon everyone's hair tonight.

When we look for top notch weather data and forecasting, we turn to Joe Bastardi, Chief Forecaster at WeatherBell Analytics.  In a piece over at The Heartland Institute, Bastardi combats some of the propaganda presented in the media.

As global climate change summit's continue to be cancelled due to snowstorms and with the nation in yet another deep freeze, even if you have been brainwashed to believe the global warming alarmists, your freezing body is presenting you the truth.

As we have noted previously, it is important to note that global warming, or the newly defined global climate change, is not about weather.  These people have no idea if it is going to rain next Tuesday in their own back yard.  It is about governmental control, the transfer of wealth, and limitations on real property, restricting property rights under the global premise of social justice.

As the brilliant Michael Ramirez so eloquently stated, it is the truth that is the endangered species in the global climate change "lack" of debate.  The science is settled tonight, with a low of 27 degrees expected here tonight in Orlando.

Playing For The Other Team

In the wake of our post yesterday concluding President Obama, our Commander in Sleestak, is an enemy within, comes this editorial cartoon arriving at the same finding.

Who's side is President Obama on?

On the bright side, if there is one, this editorial cartoon indicates that there are others who draw the same conclusion I arrived at quite some time ago.

It is imperative others come to this realization before freedom is lost and America as we have known her ceases to exist.

As Ronald Reagan so eloquently said, "if we lose freedom here there's no place to escape to; this is the last stand on earth."

Enemies Within

If it were not so deadly serious, it would be comical to witness the Obama administration stumbling around calling the Radical Islamic terrorists anything but what they are, murderous thugs who seek to kill every infidel Christian in the world while perverting religion for worldwide conquest.  But as heads continue to be chopped off, it is not those terrorists Obama is hell bent on stopping.  It is his political opponents, as Investors Business Daily's Michael Ramirez so brilliantly pointed out, the GOP and especially those who consider themselves Tea Party members.

Michael Ramirez/IBD

World War II was won in approximately five years, yet we have entered our fifteenth year of fighting these Radical Islamic terrorists.  George W. Bush seemed handicapped in doing so by making effort to appease the slew of moderates, along with the entire left wing, who grew tired of combat after being bombarded with propaganda from the mainstream media. Rules of engagement increased the degree of difficulty for our soldiers in the fight, and after we achieved victory, an election squandered it all.

A war weary electorate voted in President Obama, who proclaimed he would end both of the "ill-advised" wars the US was involved in, slamming Bush at every opportunity. Notice Obama said "end" the wars; he did not utter a word about winning, or victory.  But why?

Obama does not want to defeat these folks; in fact, he is on their team. Obama wrote in his book Audacity of Hope that “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction". Come again?

For those who do not really know who Obama is, this comes off as some sort of taken out of context comment.  But it is far from it.  Throughout his terms in office, Obama has been cold to our longtime allies and has had en empathetic tone engaging in bridge building with our enemies, who hate us now more than ever. 

As Dinesh D'Souza so brilliantly pointed out in his move "America", Obama is an anti-Colonialist who has disdain for America, but particularly England ( immediately upon being elected returned bust of Churchill given to the US after 9-11) and France ( did Obama attend the peace rally last month? ) due his perception they mistreated and stole wealth from other countries in the region.  Obama's father held strong beliefs along this line, and "Dreams From My Father" was not just a catchy title.  It was the truth.

Obama is seeking a greater Syria, a re-establishment of the Ottoman Empire, allowing a Muslim territory to gain immense power in the region; a power to rival America. As president, actions undertaken by Obama have made America much weaker on the world stage; a transfer of economic wealth and military power.  In addition, like the majority of the region, Obama holds a deep loathing of Israel, easily evidenced by his actions toward one of our dearest allies.

While most responsible world powers grow increasingly concerned about unstable player Iran, who I consider the head of the snake in the region, obtaining nuclear power,  Obama has not made any effort to thwart the Iranian effort.  To the contrary, without a Congress willing to take him on, he has donated heavily to Iran with taxpayer money we do not have.

Obama chief of staff Valerie Jarrett, an un-elected person with enormous power, has plainly stated her objective, but few if anyone took her seriously. Obama takes her very seriously; so should you.

ISIS is running roughshod, just recently burning a Jordanian prisoner alive.  Their objectives have been clearly stated, and they have unleashed slaughter and terror across the region with little or no tangible evidence Obama has done anything about it.  He angrily refuses to even acknowledge who the enemy really is; which is Radical Islam for our low information readers.

Doing nothing about this historic advance of terror is one thing, but as FOX News Kimberly Guilfoyle so appropriately ponders, "Why is our president resupplying terrorists?"

Certainly, anyone on the side of the red, white and blue would never release top level terrorist prisoners during the fight, but Obama has on many occasion.  Back in my day, and I am no old codger, this would be defined as high treason.  Why Congress refuses to seek the immediate impeachment of our commander in chaos I find troubling.

Dinesh D'souza tweeted today that someone asked him "Would you call Obama the worst American president or the first anti-American president?"  Well, that is some question, is it not?

For those who wondered about what the characteristics of the transformation of America might look like, perhaps you can now see.  Obama seeks to diminish America and our colonial partners in punitive fashion on the world stage while fostering an advancement of the Muslim faith, open borders and Marxism throughout the world.  The evidence is overwhelming and on full display, and I conclude his is indeed the first ant-American president; an enemy within.

Meanwhile, evil is looming large on the landscape, and it must be promptly and thoroughly defeated.
