Hmmm, some obviously are not impressed with the "smartest" man in the world.

Boris Johnson rages at 'ridiculous and weird' Obama: Extraordinary statement to MoS mocks President over his threat to hold back trade deal in devastating intervention

    Johnson mocked US President's claim Brexit would affect Anglo-US trade

    'Ridiculous to warn that the UK will be at the back of the queue,' he said

    Infighting broke out in 'Leave' campaign following Obama's intervention

    Some privately admitted that they fear a defeat in the June 23 referendum

To laugh or cry?

The truth is way too strange these days.

Not many years ago, GM made automobiles in Flint, Michigan and you couldn't drink the water in Mexico.

After 7+ years of Obama, GM now makes cars in Mexico and you can't drink the water in Flint!

Go figure!!

Something to think about.

Bright flash of light marks incredible moment life begins when sperm meets egg

"Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film.

An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception."

Someone needs to tell me one more time what a wonderful job Obama has done in foreign policy.

EMP alert: 2 N. Korean satellites now orbit over U.S.
'The threat continues to race, hare-like, at an alarming rate'

http://www.wnd.com/2016/04/emp-alert-2-n-korean-satellites-now-orbit-over-u-s/#LzbdOWW2UdWMHTE0.99

Obama on why the U.S. won't "destroy North Korea"

...snip....
n regards to North Korea, Mr. Obama described the regime as "a massive challenge."

"Our first priority is to protect the American people and our allies, the Republic of Korea, Japan, that are vulnerable to the provocative actions that North Korea is engaging in," Mr. Obama said.

He said North Korea is "erratic enough" and the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, is "irresponsible enough that we don't want them getting close."

"But it's not something that lends itself to an easy solution," Mr. Obama said. "We could, obviously, destroy North Korea with our arsenals. But aside from the humanitarian costs of that, they are right next door to our vital ally, Republic of Korea."
...snip...

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/president-obama-north-korea-challenge-south-china-sea-aggression/

We see how well his negotiations worked out with Iran, how they have Pulled back in the development of weapons...... ::)

Anytime that a two-bit little dictator like the one ruling of N. Korea can threaten and flex their muscle like they have been doing, then folks we are in a heap of trouble.

Okay, what are your feelings on the upcoming election.  We know who is going to be running.  Trump vs Hillary


Although no way did Hillary beat Sanders fair and square, but what's new.  Hillary never does any legally if she can do it illegally, right?



My prediction, Hillary will lose in a landslide.  If she doesn't go to jail, but the same holds true for Sanders, the Communist, he will lose in a landslide.

Hal, unless they have stopped using the "write in" area on the ballot, I may use that, or I may skip voting entirely. I can't tolerate either candidate

I noticed this morning that a couple of people welcome the election of a Muslim as Mayor of London.  One post suggested that Christians also have their sects to the extreme, well yeah, in worship maybe, but so far I haven't noted any Christians going around chopping off heads, burning others to death or shooting Muslims in the head.

I am not sure what this new mayor has in mind but I do know one thing: remarks such as was posted about welcoming his election because he a Muslim reminds me of remarks made by many about Obama just because he was black.  And we see how that turned out, haven't we? We now have a country more divided than ever before. We now have a government more corrupt than ever before and an economy that is at rock bottom and an standing army that is the smallest since 1940.  And a woman running for President that is more corrupt than Ma Ferguson, a governor of Texas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_A._Ferguson read the link, sounds like a carbon copy of the Clintons.

Speaking of a government of corruption that Obama has created.  How about this,
political donations to Hillary from the government agency "supposedly" will have to prosecute if the FBI finds any wrongdoing.

Hillary Rakes in Nearly $75,000 From Justice Department Employees

Hillary Clinton has received nearly $75,000 in political contributions from employees at the Department of Justice, the agency that would decide whether or not to act if the FBI recommended charges against Clinton or her aides following its investigation into her private email server.

Justice Department employees have given Clinton far more money than her rivals, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Donald Trump, according to a review of federal campaign contributions for the 2016 presidential cycle.

Clinton collected $73,437 from individuals who listed the “Department of Justice” as their employer. Twelve of the 228 contributions were for $2,700, the maximum individual amount allowed by law.

Halkel: 

It's quite possible that over the centuries since Mohammed developed the Moslem religion that many who moved to western countries gave up some of the practices he placed on his followers.

For example there have been Moslems living in the States for many years, and have adopted western attire and manners.  These people went unnoticed until we Americans went into the Middle East in a small way shortly after Israel was declared a country in 1948, and rancor occurred between the Israelis and the Palestinians whose land was appropriated to form Israel.  At that time the Palestinians declared/swore there would no longer be peace until Palestine was restored its lands.

Then, when a series of attacks and hostile behavior began, culminating in the destruction of innocents and property on September 2, in 2011 on our soil and we went into Iraq full force with the irrational goal of making the Middle East a democracy, doing our own share of killing and destroying property, did Al Qaeda respond by giving birth to the Islamic State.  This is the form some potent Moslems have created that we see act as depraved and barbaric human beings.

The McCarran-Walters Act of 1952  does provide for the keeping out of the U.S. people who may do the country harm, and the Quran warns its followers that they are never to pledge allegiance to the The U. S.  With this law we are protected, but no one in Congress seems aware of it although President Carter used it in 1979.

I wish we had had a better educational emphasis on history in this country.

Scenes From The Venezuela Apocalypse: “Countless Wounded” After 5,000 Loot Supermarket Looking For Food
As pure desperation has set in, crime has becomes inevitable

Over the last several years we have documented with clockwork regularity Venezuela’s collapse into failed state status, which was cemented several weeks ago when news hit that “Venezuela had officially run out of money to print new money.” At that point the best one could do was merely to step back and watch as local society and civilization turned on itself, unleashing what would ultimately turn into Venezuela’s own, sad apocalypse.

Hal, we have seen doctors killed and clinics bombed.  The Muslims don't have the only
claim to violence.

How about burning heretics at the stake, hanging witches and the Crusades that raped and pillaged its way across Europe to regain Jerusalem from the Muslims?

Oh yes, and killing off everyone and everything with a flood.  OK I know it is only a story!

June Drabek

Ray, what is your point ? I don't understand. Are you comparing our people today and yesterday, in the U.S. with what the Muslims are doing? And if so, what is the solution ?

Ray doesn't have his Crusader History correct!
BTW, Ray we have been battling the Muslims for at least a  hundred years. Look up Barbary Pirates. Fighting them was the beginning of our Navy as I remember.

Any comments?

Why the president needs to be white, male and Republican: Glenn Reynolds

...snip....
But it’s nice to see the prospect of a Trump administration reminding folks on the left of this, particularly as the journalist and pundit classes are dominated by lefties. It’s terrible, we’re told, that Trump is issuing veiled threats to journalists â€" though Obama joked about auditing his enemies, seized journalist phone records and threatened a journalist who refused to reveal sources with imprisonment. Trump would be a warmonger, we’re told, although in fact Barack Obama has been at war longer than any other U.S. president, if without any particular success. Trump would arrogantly ride roughshod over any opposition, though Barack Obama famously used “I won” as an excuse to ignore opponents and bragged that he had a “pen (and) a phone” to bypass congressional disagreement. (And he’s used them a lot.)

Another column by the above individual.  Something to think about.  Just think about when it was alright to ignore the law.  In my lifetime it started when "civil disobedience"  was not only condoned but encouraged.  Then came the Vietnam war, burning of draft cards, desertion and riots in the streets.  Again, all under the banner of civil disobedience.  Then the next big thing, didn't like verdicts, riot.  Then we got our "second" black President (Clinton was our first, remember) Obama and he wanted a "Health Care Law" and it didn't matter how he got it, he did by hook and crook and then afterward he changed the law by his own authority several times and then "persuaded" our Supreme Court to twist the law to conform with his wishes.  So, now, why should we be surprised if everyday people, like you and I just decide we don't want to comply with the law?   Food for Thought.  And I wont even talk about immigration laws or ILLEGALS rioting in the street carrying their own countries flag demanding that we make them legal....go figure.

Glenn Reynolds: When leaders cheat, followers ... follow

...snip...
But, of course, the CIA’s “accident” was only the latest in a long rash of “accidental” losses of incriminating information in this administration. The IRS â€" whose Tea Party-targeting scandal is now over 1,100 days old without anyone being charged or sent to jail â€" seems to have a habit of ”accidentally” destroying hard drives containing potentially incriminating evidence. It has done so in spite of court orders, in spite of Congressional inquiries and in spite of pretty much everyone’s belief that these “accidents” were actually the deliberate, illegal destruction of incriminating evidence to protect the guilty.

Then there’s Hillary’s email scandal, in which emails kept on a private unsecure server â€" presumably to avoid Freedom of Information Act disclosures â€" were deleted. Now emails from Hillary’s IT guy, who is believed to have set up the server, have gone poof.

“Destroy the evidence, and you’ve got it made,” said an old frozen dinner commercial. But now that appears to be the motto of the United States government.

So why do the rest of us bother to obey the law? And, yes, that’s an increasingly serious question.

Hal, because we don't lie or cheat..we believe in the ten commandments, and we have pride enough to earn what we have. The honest people don't get elected, because the populace can't believe there really are some honest politicians left out there.

Good Morning from the beautiful
warm, slightly cool, dry rocky coast

The hot and humid weather is not due here
for at least another week.   June is our
most beautiful month here in the North

So sad.

I wish everyone a very good weekend!
