THIS, THAT, AND OTHER THINGS

                              Has anyone seen this?  I copied it from Walt Armour's site on 
                                Google+. "Who's body did Vogue use to stick that head?"

I have been writing this blog since 2005.  Google tells me that it has had 134,993 visits derived from 673 posts. That breaks down to about 200 per blog which seems a bit high but who am I to dispute Google? Regardless, thanks to everyone who has been reading my rants for past 9 years.

Those numbers don't include the 5 years of AZ Central blogs from 2006 to 2011.  That was a good deal until nastiness took over and the Republic switched over to Facebook to screen comments.  Big mistake! Who wants to have their comments screened and purified?  The whole point of comments is for everyone to let it all hang out.  Needless to say, the Facebook experiment was a failure.

John Callow, also known as PROUD is now doing a new blog.  John is a good guy so read what he has to say on his WordPress blog.  Hey, John:  Post your URL here so someone can read your stuff!

I have been writing some articles for the last couple months for  Images AZ  magazine.  They put out what I call "shiny magazines" and are available in various northern parts of the Valley like Scottsdale, Carefree, Cave Creek, Anthem, Grayhawk, Tramonto, etc.  To see them online google "Images AZ" magazine then click the edition you want.  I have had some stories in the Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Carefree editions during February and March with more scheduled for April.

My favorite quote of the day:  "I think Putin is playing chess, and I think we're playing marbles. And I don't think it's even close." House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Michigan.  

But, Mike, Didn't BO tell Medvedev that he can be more flexible after he was re-elected?  By the way, What's the latest about Snowden?

Courtesy of Mr. Alan R. check out this 6:29 video of Judge Jeanine. You always know where the judge stands.

RE: Putin....Personally....I believe he has the right to protect his military base in Crimea as well as his fellow citizens who reside there...wonder how our leaders would respond if the situation were reversed??

Mike said...

Judge Jeanine doesn't pull any punches when it comes to Obama. It's fun to watch her.

PROUD said...

Wow, President Obama could not have been more wrong or naive.

(The 2012's are calling,....they want the election back):

Thanks for the plug Jim, I started the wordpress blog in 2010, about the time AZ Central shut down and it just laid there for f-o-u-r long years. Maybe it was because I just had a colonoscopy?, or maybe I'm just up to here with people (see naive idiots)still defending the bumbling inept community organizer that's pretending to be our President, but I just felt the need to sound off or start eating Tagamet.
Don't particularly like the wordpress format, but it was already in place so I thought I'd give it a shot. Not trying to compete, but everyone here is welcome to drop by and sound off, I only have a couple of recent topics but the way the Ukraine is going, the impending stock market crash, and the mid term elections, I'm sure there will be lots to rant about.here's my place, I'll leave a light on:

Yeah Proud, here is another video I posted on the same subject..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY_7pH5XV_w

..didn't get much/any discussion so I figured no one really gave a damn- watch close and notice Wolf Blitzer was trying to set Mitt up in a gotcha at the end over PG13 movies, (he implied Mitt was taking adolescents to a restricted movie.)

All Millenials should take note of those who helped these criminals fool you out of a normal life when it comes time to boil some rope.
..it was right after the widely misunderstood and ignored Stardate entry.
(won't ever try that again)

Jim McAllister said...

Mike,

I would hate to have Jeanine mad at me. She seems very sincere when she is pissed.

Jim McAllister said...

Sonny,

If it was anyone else, I may feel sorry for them but in Obama's case with that basketball sized ego accompanying his pea sized brain and logic, I love seeing him bashed.

I'm glad Benghazi is hanging around still. I think that could be his Watergate. No wonder Michelle stayed an extra few weeks in Hawaii at Christmas. She is probably sick of the guy too.

Jim McAllister said...

PROUD,

I'm glad to see you renew your blog. I always enjoyed the one you did on AZ Central and thought you should have been in the front row of bloggers.

For those who don't know of John's blog, find it at:

I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize.
.........George Bernard Shaw

It took G. B Shaw to finally explain correctly what the Nobel Prize is about. How else could Obama have received one? He couldn't even sell someone the idea of putting the Olympics in Chicago.

Unknown said...

Nice blog, Jimmy.

Well, it should be interesting to see if Putin can rebuild the Soviet Union.

PROUD said...

It's way too easy to get on Mommy Jeans Obama for being gullible and naive about Putin...

For perspective, I forced myself to remember that George Bush once said:

"I looked the man,(Putin) in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy"
(ah...right)

And when Putin later invaded Georgia, Bush made his fair share of Obama-esk impotent condemnations, with a certain, egg on face smile....

Hopefully, this unmasking of our nations irrational desire to go along to get along fantasy will be a teachable moment? Or not!

Many (Huffington Post etal) are now standing and cheering Obama's ineptitude and naivety as a sign of super intellect at work in skillfully avoiding getting us into yet another conflict. Personally, I understand the nations war weariness, but I think it's more like: just another day in the life of an inexperienced, Chicago, community organizer, doing his best impersonation of a President, and wishing it was three years from now!

Unknown said...

What John said. Yeah. I concur.

midnightsstaff said...

"I looked the man,(Putin) in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy"..

Well compared to BathhouseBarry Vlad seems like Jimmy Stewart, by the way no one should forget that Vlad actually had a day job for most of his life, he was running the East German KGB and retired as a Colonel..
He has Obama by the empty sack- they probably have his dead egg donor mom in a pickle barrel down in the basement- whoever she is.
I can guarantee Obama knows after a couple of meetings behind closed doors that the KGB has as good or better raw files on his past than the FBI does.
..plus he plays bridge with Eric Snowden.

Obama is a punkass bully, Putin is the real deal- not giving anything to another dictator but at least he's not some bath house clown used to people doing his dirty work for him, Vlad does his own.
Barry had to wear a diaper to that meeting.

I'm just glad my dad didn't have to watch the office of the presidency turn into a combination al queda command post and a union hall.

midnightsstaff said...

Oh by the way John, I have thought about it and decided to meet the ladies half way, they can vote if they are married and not on welfare.
(and they take their husband's last name)

how's that going to fly?

PROUD said...

Well, it seems there's this new custom of taking the husbands name but keeping the maiden...
Something about hyphen?ating?

OK I'll go along with the voting so long as there are no associated demands that I possess the clairvoyance necessary to determine the sex of the next toilet user. (the old, leave the seat up or down thingy)

PROUD said...

Can somebody please tell me WHY in the hell Moochelle is going to China (at a cost of $10 million taxpayer dollars) to promote "education"
At the very time China stuck the big one to Barack when he pleaded for world support in condemning Russia's aggression?
Aren't there places here in the USA where $10 million could help education? (Chicago? Detroit?)Hasn't she taken enough vacations?

Jen just baked a batch of peanut butter cookies. Farm living will make one fat.

Well, what's all this Putin stuff mean to me? I'm figuring that Obama will pledge part of our crop to Russia this year. Add to that, the certainty of higher grocery prices.

We need a guy with Putin's guts to run the country.

midnightsstaff said...

I might go make myself a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip/walnut cookies I make. I can do one thing right and it's bake a decent cookie.

Guess if it's worth saying once, it's worth repeating eh Proud?
You should be happy she is out of the country for a while, girl's been working herself way too hard if you ask me.
School lunch program worked better than I expected.
Hey McDonald's is now considered health food in Buckeye.

.."We need a guy with Putin's guts to run the country"..
..sometimes you are prophetic Rick, the way things are going he might be running things here in a couple of weeks-remember this guy with the girl's bike is an amateur- he has no practical experience outside of bilking rich guys and lying to the crowd to fund his fantasy.

I hate to say it but he couldn't do your job Rick.

..my Lord... I believe that's my best riff ever.

midnightsstaff said...

Helter Skelter night on the Japanese market.. looks like a lifelong smoker's vitals.

midnightsstaff said...

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/mar/2/cpac-conservatives-frustrated-by-gops-compromises-/

here's an article for mike.

“Every president has spent more total real dollars in his last budget than in his first,” she said, noting that Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson increased spending by 38 percent, but George W. Bush, twice elected on a conservative Republican platform, increased spending by 53 percent during his presidency.

“Even Reagan increased total spending by 22 percent” over President Carter, she says on her website"..

It's true guys, the Republicans need to do a 180 and soon.

PROUD said...

Middy, it''s just that I have a stu...stutt...stutte, (I repeat myself)

Republicans talk a good one, but seem more willing to abandon core principals if it means getting more people to vote for them. Especially evident after they loose an election, they quickly try to morph themselves somewhat to make Dems like their message (compassionate-conservative)
Democrats on the other hand, seem to stay true to their core beliefs, it's just that their beliefs are running the nation down the drain....

PROUD said...

Obama, who only knows how to campaign, is using the Affordable Health Care Act as his primary campaign tool.

He just made another executive change to stall cancellations until after the midterm elections solely tho help Democrats hold on to their seats...

http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/health-reform-implementation/199784-new-obamacare-delay-to-help-midterm-dems

Wow, didn't see that coming? ;-)

Sauntering up to talk with unmarked Russian "advisors" is not a great way to start the day.
..there is none of that line in the sand nonsense when the Bear growls.

I don't understand the language but I think they were saying.."mind if we play through?"-"Nyet!"..
(the guy with the ak looks like a reasonable fellow- probably a Russian national guard called up eh?)

PROUD said...

Well, looks like Putin may have finally screwed up....

Based on Middy'sw video clip, I believe we can charge the Russian army with multiple violations of "Shannon's Law" per A.R.S. §13-3107

Someone get Sheriff Joe to the Crimea stat!

Unknown said...

I found feral hog tracks on my land. The dew claws of a hog are twice the width of the hoof track, but with deer, they're around the same width as the hoof. Free meat. I am obligated by law to hunt, shoot and eat them.

Nice riff, Middy.

midnightsstaff said...

As much as it lends itself to another one of my soapbox moments on the relationship between a man's labor and property which represents that labor, the "free lunch" topic has been gone over again and again to the same result.
Some people just don't get it.

Shooting pigs is the fun part; what follows is why the squaws usually got to follow along for the hunt, after all that hide doesn't just unzip itself- just ask mike.
...my apologies to any squaws out there that might be offended by the truth.

haha.. just getting my game face on for another trip to the hair cutter- it's like walking into a combination estrogen pit/twilight zone.

Unknown said...

Oh Middy, you do like splitting hairs don't you? An estrogen pit?

Yes Middy. I have cleaned large animals before. Hogs are the nastiest creatures God ever made, but they sure are tasty!

Mike said...

Middy, yea those pigs aren't very cooperative, they won't even stand still when I miss the first shot. How rude.

Obama has to be the most embarrassing president since that clueless Jimmy Carter. America's enemies must look at him and think what an idiot.

Teddy Roosevelt said speck softly and carry a big stick. With Reagan it was trust but verify. With Obama it's I'll draw a line in the sand and if you cross it I won't do anything.

Putin is playing chess wile Obama is playing marbles.

SteveBuzzardo said...


"Free meat?- what are they going to do walk in your front door and commit hari kari?"

LOL, funny!

midnightsstaff said...

Is this photo shopped? what??- do you mean the Monica Lewenski dress?
na.. that's just a coincidence I'm sure.

well trading day for the Coyotes, game tonight they will try to put a happy face on it I guess, I see a blown season but at least a couple of distractions are removed.

Unknown said...

Jen told me that Obamacare is going to start taking people's tax returns to pay for their annual health care coverage. Yeah buddy. That's how to start a civil war.

I hate hospitals. Guess I might do outpatient stuff, but no overnight. I read that you can be arrested for calling the nurse from your room now!

A friend, 30 years old and with heart problems now, said that Obamacare contracts allow access to finances, property, anything.

That's leading up to full blown communism! No wonder I'm getting sicker.

midnightsstaff said...

Who's filling your head with this unpatriotic crap Rick?
No, ObamaCare is just having the normal start up problems all great ideas have because people just resist change even when it's good for them.

What promise has not been delivered Rick?- is it the 2,500.00 per household savings we are seeing with the new plans?
Or that "if you like your doctor" thing that people are blowing out of proportion?

No Communism is what Joe the Plumber was talking about that got him audited, he clearly misunderstood what "fundamental change" and "redistribution of national resources" actually mean in a modern society.

Just because the doctors now have to learn 155,000 new codes or suffer the consequences by the IRS doesn't mean healthcare will suffer or costs increase; a bunch of rich guys shouldn't be able to resist the new centrally planned approach which when once implemented allows the government information that can be used by the IRS in scheduling your health care needs.

Have you ever dealt with the IRS Rick?, you say "No"?
..guess what- that's about to change.

After all with the American middle class no longer burdened with the indignity of a forty hour workweek and a reduced level of disposable income, we will finally be free to pursue our dreams.. and that means great opportunity for someone like you Rick.

Yep.. the barn door on this one was stolen in the middle of the night with over 70 percent to be affected not wanting it.
..so now do we- rebuild the barn?- or try to find the horses?- that's the question most people are asking, but as we are about to find out the answer is..
..neither.

Another helping of peas Rick?
Remember when a great leader once said.. "you didn't build that" he was including your property rights Rick; what you didn't realize at the time was he considers you and everyone else as merely a renter, not an owner.

The concept of private ownership and a middle class offering opportunity for advancement is as irrelevant today in this political climate as cursive writing is in a court of law.

Unknown said...

My roommate is 40-years-old, a single white female, no kids, no unemployment benefits, no disability, but she gets what she can. Jen enjoys operating log skidders and other heavy equipment for a living.

Jen doesn't qualify for subsidies. No kids. You might call it her disability. She doesn't qualify for Medicaid. Too young.

You're lucky, Middy. You bitch about the taxes that you think people are robbing from you.

Well, I gotta take Jen to go help her friend, recently diagnosed with heart problems at 30-years-old, and he's "unemployable." They're doing some home improvements with what little money they can scrape up.

You think you know, Middy, but you don't. If you watched our films, you'd get it. To you, the entire world is wrong and the ironic thing is that the entire world acts just like Middy!

Jim McAllister said...

Wow! I'm sorry I was out yesterday. You guys had a great conversation on many subjects: some of it reinforcement on what most of us have talked about with loser Nobama and then some new stuff like Mike mentioning that those damn javelina won't stand still after a missed shot at them.

Lest I forget, it was nice to hear of Rick's feral hog tracks and that he is (hopefully) getting "some" from a new 40 year old member of babedom.

Great banter for sure and thanks Middy and PROUD for your contributions.

How about that budget proposal from the impostor. I had a hard time staying awake while reading his usual yearly nonsense about fleecing the makers so the poor and worthless takers can live better lives.

Then, there was the yearly cry for the roads and bridges and speedy trains and free pre-school while that pesky military has to be cut back (yawn).

Perhaps the best thing was the picture of him with a bunch of little black kids. Now, there is a guy who really cares! (Excuse me, I just wiped a tear!). He had a look on his face that said, "Hurry up and click the goddamed pict5ure so I can get away from these little bastards!"

Of course it will go nowhere. I especially liked Paul Ryan's comment: "This budget isn't a serious document; it's a campaign brochure."

This clown has turned a great country into a laughing stock.

midnightsstaff said...

haha... no Rick, the world does not run their lives like I do; I have no debt except the mortgage and it's not a problem yet.

You on the other hand have a whole life that is controlled by old debt forcing you to begging someone to front you money so you can get into even more future debt by having someone invest in one of your fly by night/sure to fail schemes.

..just like Obama does.

..actually looking at the last couple of elections it appear more people enjoy making stupid decisions like you do rather than I.
It's the reason I along with many others get targeted by the government for constant harassment instead of you until he doesn't need your vote any longer.
hey I'm not the one who got up today all wet and cranky over a bleak future.

Guys like you represent a cost for remaining elected, people paying taxes represent a means of funding that cost to continue the swindle- it's all very simple.

BTW- (there is no such thing as too young for Medicaid) Medicare yes but not Medicaid- BTW- once you sign up for medicaid it means you no longer own your property while you are still alive, just consider the implications of that in an imploding economy.

PROUD said...

Obama and Reid furious after 7 Dem Senators join Repubs to block the DOJ (cop killer advocate)nominee.

The Dems knew it was going to be close, so they brought 'Ol Joe in for the tie breaker, but someone on their Dem side (maybe two)pulled a fast one and switched their vote after pip squeak Reid did his head count.

Bet that Senator is going to be feeling more heat from fellow Senate Dems than he would at the election for a yes vote?....

Interesting times, these

midnightsstaff said...

I bet McCain is absolutely furious over that vote going against his best wishes.
He is a poster child for al queda's interests in this administration, if it is the wrong decision it is his position..
Congratulations Arizona Repugnant party for giving us another six years of treason in motion.

yeah.. it appears the Republican's theatrical crew led by Issa featured in the year old IRS dog and pony show is still kissing Lerner's statist ass.
..some things cannot change, Issa is evidently just as dirty as the rest.

Unknown said...

Taking a day or so to rest. Got to get the garden prepared to be plowed soon.

A couple of friends want to garden, but they're gonna help me tend it, so they can have some of mine. Bought Jen a bunch of fishing gear. She's sweet and she helps everyone, so she deserves it.

You're right Middy. I should stop paying all those lenders. File bankruptcy. Then I'll have lots of money left from my entitlements!

Unknown said...

I guess maybe you guys compare the poor in Phoenix to the poor in the Ozarks. You guys did say that some places have feral chickens. That's pretty cool.

Put an egg in a bowl of water about six inches deep and if it lays there, it's good. If it tries to stand up or stands up, throw it away.

A lot of folks prefer public housing and that in my opinion is just a humane kind of genocide.

A lot of folks hunt, fish and even still trap in the Ozarks.

So how's my health, Middy? How long do I have? C'mon, you think you know me.

midnightsstaff said...

.."Put an egg in a bowl of water about six inches deep and if it lays there, it's good. If it tries to stand up or stands up, throw it away"..

Yep, I've used that trick since I was a kid, any floater means there is gas buildup which is not good with ham.
..another trick to tell boiled from non boiled eggs is to try to spin em.

From looking at your cyber lifeline I can tell you have one less day to live than yesterday Rick- keep in mind lots of things can change the matrix tho.. cancer, heart attack.. eating last years Easter egg you found by accident.. fooling around with someone else's wife.

lots of things- pick one and see.

Unknown said...

Well congratulations for being out of debt, Middy. I was out of debt once, but then I went on morphine and borrowed lots of money. And you're right.

Jen said that I have to eat healthier. So I bought her some fishing gear. Fish is good for me.

Middy mentioned squaws and I asked Jen if she was one and she ignored me. That means the question is stupid and she's not answering it. With women; it's not what they say, but what they don't say in language.

I'm gonna buy her a good deer rifle too and if Jen doesn't like it, I can always go hunting with it. And I'm teaching her ultralight backpacking so she can go drag the deer out so I can have a healthy meal.

Thanks Middy. The above mentioned deaths are all in my family.

Dell Mack tells a story, "I had a good wife once until her husband came and got her."

Hey, tell me what's going on with Obama, Middy. I like your version better. Not feeling so hot, so ain't gonna be arguing.

Jim McAllister said...

PROUD,

I was happy to see that rejection of Obama's nominee for the DOJ.

Obama is fuming and Reid looks even more sickly than usual if that is possible. Congrats to those 7 Dems that voted against the guy.

Jim McAllister said...

Now I see where Sebelius was in town yesterday; the third Washington jerk, including Joe Biden, to stop by in the last couple of weeks to try to influence (force) more people to join O-Care.

What dreamers they are; people hate the damn thing and no matter how many addenda they keep adding to influence people, it won't work.

Now the rats in local districts for the House are pulling out all stops to get elected or re-elected.

Krysten Sinema, who is white and bi-sexual and is the female rep from District 9 wants a shot at replacing retiring Ed Pastor in heavily Hispanic District 7 since it is a stronger Dem seat.

Meanwhile Steve Gallardo wants the same seat and has even pronounced himself as gay in the process. I don't know what that has to do with it but there you go.

Gallardo is Hispanic and the big boys in that district have told Sinema to f--k off.

Hey, I thought the Dems were so open minded! LOL What a bunch of phonies but they are fun to laugh at.

Jim McAllister said...

Latest Fox news poll:

Obama approval down from 40 to 38. I know it's a Fox poll but it has to be close to right.

Maybe all those phony appearances by him with kids and at factories with the wallpapered automatons in the background aren't working so well.

PROUD said...

Yeah Jim, it's been a bad couple months for Obama. Sitting atop his my lil pony foreign policy,in his mommy jeans, helplessly watching Putin ride into the Ukraine on a grizzly.
Poll numbers at all time low, the Senate rebuke of his nominee, a big correction in the stock market right about now would really seal the deal.

Turns out as the world was distracted by the olympic spectacle, Putin was putting his Crimean invasion ducks in a row. Our knee jerk admin. send lurch (Kerry) out to bloviate about how terrible it is and before he can begin to wag his square jaw, the Crimean s hold a sudden and unanimous vote to join Russia...(((BLAM)))...Making our bungler in chief look all the more bungling.

Only problem is, the American people will be easily distracted by the next (minimum wage) shinny object Obama dangles in front of their ignorant eyes...

midnightsstaff said...

.."they marveled at the fireworks display as their means to get home was being repossessed in the parking lot"..

I'm pretty sure it will take a complete collapse before they wise up to the game being played in these Democrat party infestation sites.
At the moment it takes a lot to get the attention off gay and lesbian issues in sage bloom purple Arizona.

..It appears a queef-high douche beats a busted pair bisexual in the Democrat section of the Arizona peanut gallery (ouch).
..the war on sort of wimmin continues!!- someone ought to alert TheRedMenacE.
(probably holding a sign in front of Arpaio's office this morning)

Perhaps a collapsed economy and destroyed cities will do it- maybe not.. after all Bud is still on sale at Walmart and the Superbowl is still on where the Cardinals pretend to play for next year.

You can thank Jan for that when she gets up today.

Unknown said...

Why is Putin expanding Russia's power and Obama is reducing the size of the U.S. military? Why is the U.S. military just being changed over to a police force?

Prayer rugs can be purchased on Amazon.com for less than five bucks. Learn Russian and Chinese for virtually nothing! Don't wait!

I'm finding that the peace of a campfire is pretty cool. Filming wildlife is something that I've always wanted to do. Then shoot them and eat them.

anyone find this of any relevance?

Well Rick, can you remember in 2008 when Obama said we will need a domestic armed force at the command of politicians such as himself equal to or greater than the size of the military?
..well there is two ways to do that- or just combine them.

Engage in endless wars with no plan to win.
Pick fights we have no vested interest in nor ability to wage.
Spend defense money on domestic make work jobs and corrupt vote buying schemes- basically apply the same Cloward Piven destruction tactics to the military as he has to the economy.

or..
Just gut the military while growing the domestic army of Bureaucratic police beholden to him after doing all of the above.

you are(((X)))here.

..eat your peas Rick, you will learn to like them- and you know what the next step probably will be.

Jim McAllister said...

Yeah,

Blowbama is out pushing hard again for the $10.10 minimum wage. He seems to have no fear of the layoffs something like that would incur.

What a naive SOB.

midnightsstaff said...

Looks like the Daily Kos is starting to wake up.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/02/27/1280772/-Is-it-just-me-or-did-layoffs-just-explode

..and now this..

.."Staples Inc, the largest U.S. office supplies retailer, forecast another quarter of sales decline as it loses customers to mass market chains and e-retailers, and the company said it would close up to 225 stores in North America by 2015"..

..shocked... shocked I tell you!..
Ha- read the comments section,it sounds like pill line conversation at the insane asylum..

..This "unexpected news" must be the result of another Tea Party led assault on wimmin or maybe further proof of the inequality of resources in America or some other equally convoluted reason.

(obviously we should raise taxes some more)

midnightsstaff said...

For all you folks that missed the parabolic action on Dollar Store stock (FDO) a while back, I understand the hot money is now on Thrift Store (BHO) announcing their scheduled IPO next month- I see a trend.

..don't be late on this one.

Mike said...

I think Sinema should run for District 7. Think of the possibilities. She could win and piss off all the Hispanics or she could lose and we would be rid of her. Plus it would free up District 9 for the Republican to win. It's a win, win situation.

The worst thing that could happen is for Mary Rose Wilcox to win the seat. It's a shame that the guy that shot her in the ass didn't have a better aim.

midnightsstaff said...

I guess I missed that, sounds like he was trying a head shot- never try a head shot on a politician, it's usually buried up their ass.

The war on wimmin takes a strange twist today when a feminist group bared their girls in a chilly Times Square to great approval by most men and some of the ladies in protest of a Russian leader for his actions in Ukraine..

.."Five members of Femen bore their breasts Thursday in New York's Times Square, denouncing occupation of Crimea by Russia and asking for tougher response against its President Vladimir Putin"..

http://thenewsdoctors.com/femen-activists-bare-breasts-against-putin-in-times-square/

.."The feminist group's protesters, whose chests were painted blue and yellow -- the color of Ukraine's flag -- hoisted a placard against Putin and another calling for US-EU action"..

..early reports are that Putin took a nap.

Unknown said...

"..eat your peas Rick, you will learn to like them- and you know what the next step probably will be."

Okay, but then can I have some cheesecake and ice cream?

Sun Tzu said that no nation has ever survived that fought a prolonged, distant war on more than one front. It will economically break them.

Russia? Not good. They have these new weapons that allegedly can beat our weapons. And we can't afford a war and Putin knows it.

Mike said...

Rick, Russia has never had weapons better than ours. The Israeli's proved that in their wars against the Arabs and we proved it in both Iraq wars.

North Vietnam didn't have an air force, heavy artillery, tanks, battleships, air support, floating hospitals, they only had the crudest of supply lines using improvised and captured weapons in the II and III corp and we killed a lot of them.
I don't remember us marching through the streets of Hanoi after ten long years of bitter fighting taking our POW's back and popping champagne corks- so what did we learn?

Wars are won and lost not on the battlefield but at the negotiations table.
..or in our case at the ballot box.

Like I said, nothing more dangerous than a cornered queef.
(that picture is disgusting John)

So why the rush to another war in Europe?- is it because our economy is starting to crack and they know it?.
After all nothing fluffs the pillows like a good contained war.

It's a bad idea to get into it with someone on the other side of the world who constantly remarks how little they care about the casualty rate of their own citizens and have a rich history to back it up unless you absolutely have to.

How many American lives lost in Ukraine are too many?- hey the subject is going to come up- probably in the first week of combat operations..

Hey Mike. This story is from 1980 concerning USSR and Poland, their economic crisis, labor problems and the Kremlin's control. So Putin is predictable. You could also view the Soviet Union as Washington today.

http://www.csmonitor.com/1980/0820/082034.html/(page)/2

I researched it and Mike is right. The United States has better weapons than Russia, but Russia still has 1500 more nukes than we do.

I'm personally hoping that the next war will be psychological, economic, cyber and just taking property of the other nation with lawyers. Everyone hates lawyers.

midnightsstaff said...

.."Everyone hates lawyers"..
..put them and the politicians on the front lines along with the bankers and things will change pronto.

The reason you build and maintain a first class military is so no one would be stupid enough to force an issue.
We are headed for some war with this maniac in chief getting more desperate day by day.
and that's a problem Rick, he has intentionally depleted the military to a level Carter left us with.
All for what? the mideast is now nearly in radical islam hands- Africa is headed the same and John McCain is high fiving Al queda fighters for photo ops as the traitor he is.

Liberals have their panties in a wad over Issa adjourning the hearing w/o allowing Cummings to make a speech. Predictably, charges of racism are everywhere. No racism, just power procedure depending on who has the gavel. Example from 2008 when Democrats had the chair:

At least they are consistent with their statist method.
Nostrilitus should be the first one dragged to the gallows if we ever get serious about reclaiming our birthright.
Cummings should be next.

Interestingly he has tossed in the towel and announced his retirement.
I guess it's no fun being in the House if you don't get to swing the gavel and openly obstruct justice bullying the nation from the halls of Congress.
In the future any image, cartoon, listening to the voice of or any reference to the flamingturd in the White House either on his knees or standing is considered disgusting and will set me off complaining.
I think I have developed an allergy to the guy- his voice makes me nauseous.

It's a dangerous time to make defense cuts. It's arrogance to believe that the country can't be attacked again. It's happened twice!

Yes this like every other time in history is a bad time to have allowed the president, a proved enemy of the nation to deplete our defense.

But it's representative of hope and change, as Stalin noted,"you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs".

With enough low/no information voters demanding free stuff and no opposing party to counter those childish urges we've proved that a banana republic constantly teetering on the brink of implosion can be created in one election.

The American people face a coalition of Russian, Chinese, radical islam and a traitorous domestic government at their neck today- and the Russians are planning to build military installations all over South America and Cuba.

..so how are you going to deal with Sharia law in Missouri Rick? do you think they will leave you alone just because you leave them alone?
Ask the Christians in North Korea, all over Africa and Syria about coexisting with pure evil.
The dictator of NK regularly hangs children in front of their parents and then has them rolled over with a paving roller unless they deny their faith.
Good thing you were smart enough not to get fooled by Mitt Romney eh Rick- after all he was an actual Christian.

Unknown said...

Middy, how often have I written about the threat of Sharia Law? But that's okay. I'm old too and I completely understand the memory thing.

Don't you remember when the Pulaski County Missouri sheriff arrested two Arab soldiers? One a Muslim and one a Christian? They were arrested for trying to pick up a 12-year-old girl. There was concerns about Sharia Law, but few others thought of that.

What do you want me to do, Middy? I don't have your money. I have to short lenders to prepare for the equipment that I need to survive the nightmare that is coming in the years to come.

I got pulled over for a license plate light late last night. Jen wanted a six pack and we took the back roads because she wanted to talk.

You know how many years it's been since I've been pulled over for anything? Jen says they are targeting her and I made it clear that she is necessary to me on the farm. No ticket. All cops used to be Republicans.

Jen wants to raise angora rabbits, make her own thread and stuff. She crochets. I got the studio going and someone dropped by a nice starter drum set. My thing for king and country, peacefully and at my expense.

I'm also promising to a few families vegetables if they help tend the garden. The other week when I got sick again, it's like I aged ten years.

I dislike politicians for their politics and not for their skin color. President Obama is good hearted, but in my experience, the poor can't be made to make better decisions.

An old friend, who shall never change, once gave me a fishing pole and I have eaten for life. So I give away real life fishing poles, guitars, and let amateurs play in a professionally designed home studio. I believe that I am helping people to learn to be better people. Company is here. Later.

Hey Rick this utube video was taken down but replaced on vimeo, it's pretty well done and sort of makes one ask.... "did I just see what I was told to see?"..

And if it starts to make sense of something utterly senseless then one has to ask themselves
..if they are willing to go this far how much further do you think they are willing to take it to finish the job?

The average American only sees the brown part of the onion but the skin is the last part to rot.
Every member of Congress is guilty of something they can be controlled by blackmail or greed over, nothing else makes sense.. if anyone else has another theory please let me know because that scenario is a pretty terrifying thought if you ask me.

midnightsstaff said...

Oh I don't know I seem to remember a pretty strong thread of white hat/black hat scenarios in all the Roy Rogers shows; good normally had the habit of winning, evil usually got a gun shot out of it's hand- no smoking, drinking, cussing, cheating at cards or kissing on camera were ever seen until the late sixties- and Roy had a sidekick with a jeep.

I agree, I am too negative Rick.
I wasn't always like this but when I see decency getting gang banged everywhere I look and the rule of law ignored while liars and fools ply their trade with impunity it starts wearing on you.
I suppose if you saw the world like I do you might agree.

PROUD said...

Republicans are The loyal Opposition. True they are made up of diverse and differing opinion, The C-pac offers a range. From those who gladly forsake core beliefs simply tho win elections like Christy to those who are genuinely conservative like Paul. Important to remember that once elected they have a duty to represent their constituents values, that duty should IMO, take precedent over their own, personal political ideals.

The key would be having the candidate steadfastly lay out his heart felt convictions, and if elected he would obviously represent the majority of constituents, unfortunately politicians are just that and tell people what they want to hear instead of what they really believe...

Even the worst of the lot is better than the arrogant ideologue now occupying the White House.

You mean someone with the same message Ron Paul has been bringing since before the Reagan era?

You mean the same message that has been laughed at by the new Whig party, the GOP leadership which refused him time at the podium the last convention and with that single juvenile act disrespected all libertarians,leaving them no choice but to stay at home for the election?

The same GOP that preferred Harry Reid over Sharon Angle and allowed the corrupt unions to steal the election unopposed.

You mean the same message that if uttered in earnest immediately has you branded as an outlier and dangerous because of tea party interests- the sworn enemy of the GOP.

In the 1950's, the U.S. and Britain tried to overthrow Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood. Shades of gray. It failed. Two years later, France, England and Israel staged a war and overthrew Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood. The U.S. was completely out of the picture. They were blindsided, according to CIA historical documents on their own website. Bless those agents.

The experts say that we are in a transition between what was and probably a Communist Muslim country. And everyone that knows espionage from the Cold War must be in disbelief. I know I am. I used to think that Obama was a counterintelligence operative and that it wasn't real. Corporations and banks are taking over our simple freedoms to control us.

Jen and I have farm work to get done. She's found someone who might let us borrow their rototiller to turn the garden soil over. March 17 begins gardening season.

EVERYONE is planting a garden this year. EVERYONE. You should see Walmart. EVERYONE is learning how to preserve foods in Mason and Ball jars.

Jimmy, old fashioned is back. Everyone knows hard times are coming. Fort Leonard Wood is laying off those thousand folks and losing another thousand soldiers. Defense cuts while Putin is expanding the reach of Russia. Smart.

You do realize that having a garden could theoretically affect the prices of commodities in other states don't you Rick?
The Justice Dept. might have to step in to prevent people like yourself from distorting the market.

..they have done it before.
.."A factor of such volume and variability as wheat grown for home consumption would have a substantial influence on price conditions on the wheat market, both because such wheat, with rising prices, may flow into the market and check price increases and, because, though never marketed, it supplies the need of the grower which would otherwise be satisfied by his purchases in the open market".. (WTF??)

..that's not a quote from Saturday Night Live folks it's taken from the text of the actual delusion..erh I mean "decision" written by one of the criminals in black robes at that time.

Bottom line.. at eight new regulations per hour, seven days a week, 365 days a year means there is no chance that any one trip to the ballot box will do anything except feed the illusion this thing can be stopped at the ballot box.

In the eight hours since you have gotten up and eaten breakfast nearly sixty new regulations have hit the books just today and there is all afternoon yet to go- many of them designed to cripple our power grid and prevent ever rebuilding it.

There are simply too many Ignoramus's out there all across the land for a reasonable, peaceful approach to have any chance of success.

I don't know which is worse; a company that makes lawn jockeys that resembles Obama or the fact that you're only buying one.

And I already know about the feds and gardening. I had a phone call from the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) with the ag department. They insisted on knowing EVERYTHING and it was "voluntary" but mandated by law.

My novel about the mark of the beast was "voluntary" too.

I know the government is trying to make gardening illegal. The government is good about making laws to make more criminals from law abiding citizens. There must be good money in manufacturing criminals.

Ag research says that the small backyard flock of chickens gets more eggs per bird than the big corporate producers. Multiply that competition times the number of people creating a backyard flock to save money and that's a heap of profits!

If corporations supply EVERYTHING then there is no true freedom. Makes you want to wear fur and leather, don't it Middy?

I just watched a video of rich folks leaving France because there is a "welfare state" and they predict the same in America.

Malaysia Airlines has a deal for rich folks to escape to Shangri La.

Now boarding! Flight to Perfection now boarding!

PROUD said...

Yeah Jim, this is developing into a Rod Serling....

Several real-time radar tracking companies said there are many holes in their coverage so they know the minute it disappeared from their screens, but that doesn't mean it disappeared, just moved into a hole in the coverage. Then I read where the airline said a 15 degree change in heading was a normal part of that route's flight plan, speculation was it had tried to turn back....

My guess is it either blew up in air or terrorists stormed the cockpit, took control, and drove it into the ocean. As to why they haven't found debris, I think they have been searching the wrong area, maybe because they are going by the last known coordinates as the plane slipped out of radar range? I mean at those speeds and that altitude, were it being flown by terrorists it could cover a hell of a lot of mileage. The possible area is larger than the state of Pennsylvania, so it might take a while, especially if they begin with little more than a guess...

Unknown said...

Two stolen passports were used by two men who boarded that Malaysian plane.

John was right. It was a hijacking. One adult and two children from America were on that flight.

No evidence has been found of any aircraft going down. Oil slick, but no debris.

Mike said...

Rick, we do have a "welfare state" in America and it's getting worse every day. Food stamps, welfare, free school lunches, rent subsides and the list goes on.

Not to mention the people on Medicaid and SS disability.

Sad to say but I have some family members on the government dole.

Unknown said...

Mike, I'm on VA compensation and SS disability. I have no choice, since employers don't want a disabled military veteran as an employee. Plus in my area, there are few jobs.

I thought a 10 point preference for a civil service job would be the ticket, but I'm told that is now a "black list" and a minority or woman without military experience has a better chance than I do for getting a job, I was told.

What am I gonna do? Can't do nothing in this kind of employment atmosphere.

This one company in the area hires drug addicts and when they get hurt, they pull a drug test, and of course it's positive. Then they don't have to pay the insurance claim or workers comp. Get it?

So the rich have it all, don't they? They blame Obama, while Obama keeps them rich. They blame everyone. When everyone's dead, they'll blame God.

PROUD said...

Rick sorry to burst your anti-rich rant...but NOBODY hires drug addicts to work for them just so they can get out of paying insurance claims...It makes no sense to have stoned employees doing poor work each and every day, on the off chance that they could escape being sued when the employee got hurt. (btw, and good attorney would still go after the employer for not doing due diligence in drug testing prior to hiring, that's why so many employers require drug testing, the very last thing an employer wants is impaired, less than productive employees representing his company.

Business owners hire the very best, most qualified and capable people they can because the future of their business, and therefore their own personal futures depends on how well those people perform at the job.

Unknown said...

Proud, you're figuring that the Ozarks is like Scottsdale. It's like nowhere else on earth.

I asked Jen for verification and yeah, one factory got shut down for a while because of the meth traffic.

Now not all employers are like that, but there are respectable folks that only hire meth addicts. One fella hired some illegal immigrants, but his dad threatened to beat his ass if he didn't fire them and hire Americans. He said they worked hard, but his dad is old school and no one has ever beaten his dad in a fight.

Things are very different here. You fire people by insulting them and they quit, so you don't have to pay unemployment.

It's the rich vs the poor here. One wealthy fella even has armed guards, his own prison, but maybe things have changed since the old man died.

Look, I couldn't believe that people would allow such things in a civilized America, but these things are sadly real.

I spoke up for pets at a public meeting, was quoted in the newspaper and I had death threats and road blocks of citizens trying to kill me. The North Shore Animal League has helped. The passage of the Castle Doctrine helped. A new sheriff seriously helped.

The state police tell me that they fear the return of the gang wars. Bodies found everywhere in the place that was once called, Little Chicago.

Yeah dude. If you have enough money, you can do what you want in the Ozarks and the government will back you up. The EPA is weak in the Ozarks.

Jim McAllister said...

Rick keeps reinforcing the advantages of being rich. I would think that it would be sensible to try and join the rich since it is so wonderful.

One problem with that however, is that many poor people think that the rich don't deserve the spoils that they have. There was a time when the rich were applauded for their hard work involved in getting rich and how their riches allowed them to hire thousands.

Now, it's about "those damn rich" and how it's their fault that the poor are poor. We live in a jealousy mindset these days.

PROUD said...

Rick, anyone who takes his OWN money and risks it in a business venture....And then turns around and hires meth-heads is NOT respectable!

He's a complete dumb F*ck, (and very soon to be broke)

Business is business, matters not the geography or the medium income of the demographic. You start a business for one reason, because you believe you have a talent to make a product, and ultimately.... MAKE A PROFIT....(Duck Dynasty ?)

Without a plan, AKA, what you believe to be a marketable product, one your confident will turn a profit or you wouldn't risk your life savings on....There would be absolutely no reason to ever start a business and risk your financial future. Life, especially business life, is based on a risk / reward system

New businesses that want to borrow money to start or grow must not only show that they have a viable business plan, but must sign a personal, continuing guaranty, meaning should the venture go belly up, they promise to pay back the debt or forfeit same in other assets.

So, now you're asking me to believe that someone who has earned enough money (paying taxes along the way) to take what he he has put away and risk it all on a new business....Is also willing to hire and depend on known drug addicts (in this case Meth which has the most erratic / unpredictable / unstable users) for his entire fortune and future ?

I ain't buyin that anyone is that STUPID...I don't give a crap what their zip code, or education is. And IF they are....They deserve what will swiftly follow!

Mike said...

Jim, Obama has been hammering the rich since he took office and yet that's where he gets his campaign money from. His class warfare works on the poor because they voted for him.

The poor think they're poor because of the rich people. The fact is they're poor because they are dumb uneducated people with to many kids they can't support.

Unknown said...

"The poor think they're poor because of the rich people."

Yeah, you're right John. I mean, who else would employ them, but rich people?

Lana Jefferies Music LLC hasn't made one dime and not made any jobs.

So you're right, John. The rich folks make all the jobs and so the United States is broke because rich folks redistributed their wealth overseas.

My theories are clearly wrong and wealth can't be generated without being rich first.

Barkley once commented on how his relatives thought it was terrible that he was a Republican. They told him "You shouldn't be a Republican! All they care about is rich people!"

Still looking at tractors, Jimmy? Yep, they're pretty much all the same and they don't get used by just looking at them. But you do what you wanna do, Jimmy.

It's okay, Jimmy. I don't expect a rich person to do anything for me. Helping others is just beneath them.

.....when income levels rise above $250,000, they must become Republicans. Rule 4:20

And your point is? You act like it is some sort of crime to be successful. One correction: Raise the amount; $250K won't even cover our dry cleaning and servant bill for a year.

If Scottsdale is hell, sign me up for another hitch! Car shows here have 2013 models exhibited as antiques.

Iran President Rouhani said that President Obama and the United States effectively surrendered to Iran.

I'm not sure about the flight to Pakistan but something obviously happened that was entirely out of the norm.
I guess we will leave it at the historians feet to decide seeing how none of us were actually there.
The cell phones is the real puzzler, unless everyone on board were already unable to answer because of some catastrophic event- no debris seems odd to me.
But we have bigger fish to fry, Juan McAmnesty is headed for Ukraine.. the pressure for war in Europe is mounting.

The missing plane may not have ditched in the sea....Could have gone down in the lush jungle where the multi level thick canopy could easily hide the wreckage and any evidence of a fire. I listened to a guy who used to search for wrecks flying slow over the tree tops saying even flying that low and slow a wreckage was extremely hard to spot. He said the only way to find one there was to find the entrance path of broken tree's and trace it down to the floor....

I'm working on my own investigation.... keeping an eye on craig's list and ebay for a to good to be true buy on a 777....or 239 suit cases of clothing.

Well damn. The little row rototiller is eight years old and won't start. I used it for the entire season last year and took forever to plow up the garden. I figured if I dug it up with the shovel then used the Mantis style tiller ... nope. No fire to the plug. Be the second time to the shop. My rear tine rototiller's main bearings died the year before.

People claim they can help me out with equipment, but it's all talk. Always is. I'll hire it done and I'll just trust people that much less, that's all! They won't help with harvesting or canning.

Naturally, it's the same people on Welfare complaining that they can't find someone to hire them.

The partners of the company just walked away. Nobody believes that I know anyone anymore. Not one dime of profit.

I'd sell the farm and move to Portland, but people are that way everywhere. All just talk, talk, talk.

No wonder that plane went down. People talking about what a good job they do, and it's all just so much talk.

Y'all are right. Pull the plug on Welfare and EBT and there will be some rioting, but for the most part, they'll just talk and do nothing.

I gotta go figure out my options. I don't know. Maybe try selling the farm again, since it's obvious that despite all the promises, no one is going to help do jack.

Crowd searching ... yeah, people are TALKING about it. Sure they're searching. Right. I'll believe it when I see it.

Unknown said...

Well, going to go try the little tiller again. It wasn't made to plow up an entire garden.

Y'all keep looking for that plane now. I don't know anyone on it, so it's not really my business.

midnightsstaff said...

Sorry that the basic lessons of life like not depending on others to take care of your problems is still bedeviling you at the advanced age of fifty something Rick, but honestly where did you ever get the idea that resolving your issues was the responsibility of others?

As I used to tell inmates- the chains and walls of prison are for the most part do it yourself projects and most of them agreed.

Frankly the problems we face are much larger than a spark less rototiller or what the sugar rush of whatever borrowing money created by debt can fix,
you should count yourself lucky.

I'm trying to remember you offering to step up to the plate to help me or anyone else in Arizona with our issues.. sounds like you need a mom-

Unknown said...

I helped you, Middy. I helped all of you. Or tried. None of you listened and instead, you laughed. Folks on Welfare do the same thing as you guys, so don't worry about it.

Why is that plane my concern? Time is money. I am not using Google research to find a bunch of people who knew the risk.

People in Scottsdale taught me well. People outside of my farm are not my problem.

BTW, the tiller will be fixed in a week. You don't have to look at anything, Jimmy. Just save your precious money and tell the rich and famous bimbo the same thing for me.

I talked to Dell Mack about this and he said that the rich and famous are all talk. They wouldn't part with their money until they're dead and even then, they'll give it to charity thinking it will get them into heaven and it won't. Dead is dead.

So the tiller is getting fixed, I'll get the garden worked, planted and maintained. I'm buying more sporting equipment to fish and hunt, because friends are good for talking to, but not much good for anything else.

Don't ever ask me for advice, unless you're willing to pay a $150 an hour. My private, retired rate. Had folks helped me, I might do it for a favor.

I will help Obama though. They sign my disability checks. Rich folks taught me to know which side of my bread is buttered back in 81.

Did I mention that I'm buying another kayak? Yep. Doc says not to go fishing alone, so I gotta bribe people to be my friend. I learned that from rich folks too.

How is that plane and those dead people my problem? They're dead? Are they getting any deader? Oh survivors? They cost more to the airline, so not finding survivors is actually good for risk management.

I figure it's an intelligence operation anyway and plane go boom.

I've joined the Coffee Party. It's like the Tea Party, except we are awake and not idiots following Republicans.

I know that you feel entitled to all the money, but it's only in your mind. It's not real. I can help you, but you have got to want to be cured.

You must admit that hoarding wealth without providing jobs is a disease and there is treatment. It doesn't have to end in suicide, but if it does, don't forget to write.

midnightsstaff said...

I have to hand it to you Rick, you make an excellent bellwether for the next level of liberal assault on personal liberty and freedom the rats are planning.

Rick has been at Mother Jones or the HuffPo again it appears, since the professional crooks in the party are avoiding Chickenlegs as the kiss of death they gotta change the subject and are starting to lay the grassroots campaign on wealth hoarding like the famous war on wimmin project that gave us another four year dose of the clap.
..but I doubt people are biting- yet because ObamaCare is starting to fester.

I personally don't care what they call themselves as long as they are for a smaller less intrusive government and establishing a fair means to fund what government should provide instead of what it wants.
They can call themselves the Archie Bunker party for all I care.
Coffee party sounds just fine.
The government is a very large,spoiled and dangerous child.
So it really shouldn't be trusted with dangerous objects that might be used on the citizenry nor anything of true value like our personal freedom or liberty.

The Japanese market is laying another egg tonight, down 3+ percent on rumornews- again.

Jim McAllister said...

Rick,

I wish I was half as rich as you think residents of Scottsdale are.

Come down sometime and hang out around McDowell and Scottsdale Rd. or Thomas and Scottsdale. There are some nice strip joints, pawn shops, seedy bars, and weird characters there which would be the antithesis of what you think Scottsdale is.

Sure, there are also those up north who have acquired wealth but so what? They worked for it so what's the big deal? In this world you usually get what you ask for and those people worked to enjoy their spoils.

So where's that tractor and the new rototiller, Jimmy? Make sure it has a front end loader on it. A John Deere with a heated and air conditioned cab. I don't need something that fancy, but you're the one that screwed the pooch, not me.

Maybe instead of succumbing to fits of jealousy and class envy, they should actually think ? and be glad they have the money to carry your dead ass...

And Proud, Middy, WHY IS IT that the wealthy are stuck with the bill?

Because they cut their own throats when they outsourced jobs. Damn, that's gotta suck to be that stupid.

Even conservative think tanks warned the rich against outsourcing jobs.

So you got yourself into this, so get yourselves out of it. I started a company and stopped paying lenders that took bailouts to do it. I've done my part.

And if you keep your money in an overseas bank, the IRS will find it and they will get their taxes.

"Mr. Kerry, we denounce to the whole world, you encourage the violence in Venezuela ... We denounce you as a murderer of the Venezuelan people."

"In Guatemala, you said to me 'you have to lower the tone'," Jaua added in his speech. "We are not going to lower the tone to any empire until you order your lackeys in Venezuela to cease the violence against the people."

Vlad the Impaler meets Kerry the Sanctionator.

Kerry has been compared to Neville Chamberlain and Obama has made it clear with the Iran peace BS that he wants to be remembered as a Statesman. The guy who made peace in the Middle East.

See, that's what sucks about the future, because at the time, the American people didn't want Romney, but now ... he's perfect for the job. Romney knew Russia was a problem, but he screwed himself years before with the outsourcing. Romney would have stopped what's coming.

Vlad the Impaler is rumored to be bisexual and he hates gays. He hugs bi's, but shuns gays. Soviets don't like that stuff.

Vlad also launched a welding contest in 2012, the sort of thing that the old Soviet Union would do.

Vlad extended Presidential terms to six years and if he wins the next election, which there are no other breathing candidates, he will be the longest reining leader since Stalin, experts say.

John Kerry and President Obama vs the godfather.

You know that Russian billionaire fella who owns WMG? Yep, he's reputed to be a friend of Putin's. The Soviets own mainstream music and they also have ties in Hollywood and news media corporations too.

Putin said hands off Syria, and Obama did as he was told.

Right now, Putin probably has enough pull that he could get the UN to put trade sanctions on the United States and not the other way around.

Our world is in transition and the economy is a form of war. Lawyers are the troops. The courts are the battlegrounds. War is hell and hell is open for interpretation.

I read another story that said the G20 moved the deadline for the creation of the global government from 2025 to 2017. Militia leaders concur.

Worst case scenario is that an American President vies with other nation leaders for seats on the board to mandate laws to "trickle down" to all of us.

http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2011/02/19/the-satanic-rothschild/

she has a lot of them.. they are openly exhibiting their allegiance and devotion to their master.

Right now they are pencil whipping in the co pilot as an "islamic extremist" also claiming his family moved out of the house the day before (or were they "moved out" by others) that alone ought to tell you something about where this thing is headed..

A prudent person might ought to stock up on emergency food and other things or if not, just keep on watching tv.

Normalcy bias is an extremely difficult psychological obstacle to overcome in times of runaway abnormality you find in any fourth turning event.

Most people will wait until too late to react and by then the exits will be clogged with hysterics.

I'm guessing the RSO in Burma for hijacking that plane. I read that they are connected to the Sunni's and have friends in those dangerous places. They also have a number of airports. If a plane made a number of turns, they could turn 1250 miles into 1800 miles. They allegedly have ties to the Middle East, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, and more. No clue as to motive and no one has claimed responsibility. I like Burma for this.

Rick,

Every day when I turn on the computer, I have about 90 messages on my other email account. Usually about 87 of them are spam. Luckily they haven't found my other email address yet.

Unknown said...

Jim, I have an email address that is a spam magnet. I don't use it anymore.

Another interesting thing is that cell phone use and Internet is almost non-existent in Burma. So if that plane is in Burma, no one will know until the mule train gets out.

Never forget that it was Missouri State Police who leaked this MIAC report and every state government has adopted it. The government fears Christians and they intend to disarm Americans and make us all buy everything we need and no more independent living.

Rick,

I agree, I hardly use that other email account anymore.

I'm stuck. My home is old and banks won't loan money on land with a home like mine. So I can't improve it and can't sell it.

The team has fallen apart. People going their own way. One is on meth now.

So any idea's Jimmy? Guess I could make the barn into a home and have a private home studio.

I'd love to move where there are wild trout, elk, deer, and even if I bought land, I could get one of those prefab cabins in the mountains.

It used to be out West that if I charged a lot of money, I'd make a lot of money. Where I live, people wanna pay five bucks to employ an educated person.

A wage increase, mandatory health insurance, outsourcing jobs, it's like Republicans and Democrats want to intentionally destroy the United States of America.

This is a bit liberal, but ALEC is supported by conservatives and they seek a joint mega-corporate/government legal rule over the American population. It is further evidence that soon there will be no freedom left.

I am really surprised that you haven't learned something from the administration and government in general about funding Rick; and it's only insufficient funding that is holding you back right?

You have probably already forgotten but the other day you let it slip that your professional retired rate is 150/hr at the moment.
Had you been paying attention to the default liberal approach to a common problem the solution becomes obvious...

..double your rates.

If that doesn't bring them to their senses and in line to your needs then you double them again and then threaten them if they don't comply.

I'm really surprised you haven't already done this simple trick to increase revenue.
..it works for the government who can never take a chance on taking a cut in their income.

I'm just going to donate that intellectual property to you Rick; (not really)- I am taking it as another 'professional services' business deduction on my tax this year..

So it's 'mucho~appreciado' Rick... A full St. Patrick moon tonight- an important Blood Moon is on the way next month, so you better take a lay down this afternoon.

Unknown said...

Don't tell me, Middy. Next you're gonna offer me a tiny sum for the farm with some sarcastic remark. You're so predictable that it's not funny anymore. Hey, why don't you tell me how I threatened you! Seems to be what ignorant rich people do, so be trendy, Middy!

When I'm rich, and someone saves my life, I can accuse them of threatening me and blacklist them from success. It is how the elite think and I must learn to be exactly like them to be normal.

I'm thinking writing a congressional bill again to make all music studios illegal, except those created in a rural barn, and put it in some crime bill or some crap like that.

Unknown said...

Just in case you think that I can't write my own legislation, think again. I've done it before and it passed too.

And Middy, you're wrong about me. You've always been wrong.

Success is NOT about money. It's doing something that people say can't be done. Money is a consequence of any successful operation.

Failure is just a consequence of trying and I'm not done yet.

.."I see a bad moon a risin'- I see trouble on the way- I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today- don't go out tonight, well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise".

.."take it Leon"...

before your time eh?..
I'm thinking about writing a book Kingfish, figure I might call it 'What would Obama do?'

Maybe take a normal problem facing normal people today and ask the question.. What would Obama do?..
Say some young father of three found out he had some critical health problem pop up and have been not only cut off from their health policy but had his hours cut to 29.5/week due to some law or the other.. what would Obama do??
..or say someone decides they want to buy a home and raise kids but they can't find a lender willing to grant them a loan based on their no work history, no jobs available exacerbated by an education loan that will cripple them for decades.
What would Obama do?..

Sound like a good idea Rick?, after all I am always looking for common, easily observable issues to drive home a point.

Unknown said...

First order of business is to find a niche, then someone to sponsor the bill and there is some anti-Russian notion at the moment and WMG is owned by a Russian with mob ties. So I can use them and others as an excuse for a new bill. I think Noise Pollution should be liberal enough to get the job done.

Research shows that a sound dome can form around a music studio, so urban and suburban studios are a threat to human safety. I'll make it really scary with statistics, charts, everything. Ties from Len to Putin. Yeah, nothing like demonizing the competition and I learned this trick from Middy.

Yeah Middy, CCR was before my time. I never heard of them.

midnightsstaff said...

.."Yeah Middy, CCR was before my time. I never heard of them"..

Well I wasn't sure when Missouri got indoor electricity and all, my mistake.. haha.
..better get a nap in Rick, gonna be a big one tonight.

Unknown said...

Someone on my side is angry with me because I won't help. I am exercising the "Rules." I learned them from Middy and Jimmy. Yeah, it's to help her get a job, but that's not my problem, is it? I have learned never to help anyone, but me.

Mike said...

I see Rick must be off his meds again.

I looked up the definition of delusional in my Webster's Dictionary today and damn if there wasn't a picture of Rick there.

PROUD said...

Wow, a nation of 150 MILLION people invades and takes another country....John F*ya Kerry sports a L-O-N-G face for weeks, then draws one of his now famous, "red-line" warnings in the sand, telling them they have "UNTIL MONDAY" (today)...

Then when the Russians (and the rest of the world) laugh at Kerry / Obama's ultimatum, our fearless leader strolls to the podium and announces that he is "sanctioning" 11 of the 150 million people...forcefully reading from the teleprompter:

"UNLESS PUTIN CHANGES COURSE, AND GIVES BACK CRIMEA, THESE ELEVEN RUSSIANS... WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VACATION IN THE UNITED STATES !!!

Oh yeah, that'l shake em up?

.."The White House is desperate to sign up Nevada’s Millennials for Obamacare. With the March 31 enrollment deadline closing fast, the latest figures show that only 22 percent of the state’s Obamacare sign-ups are between ages 18 and 34. That’s a far cry from the 40 percent that the White House wants.
Blame the Obamacare marketing team. Since the exchanges launched in October, the team’s attempts to persuade us to sign up have been inappropriate, incoherent and simply insulting"..

.."I've thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train.
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes.

Some day I'm going to fly.
I'll be a pilot too.
And when I do, how would you
Like to be my crew...

On the good ship lollipop.
Its a sweet trip to a candy shop
Where bon-bons play
On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay.

Lemonade stands everywhere.
Crackerjack bands fill the air.
And there you are
Happy landing on a chocolate bar.

See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll
With the big bad devils food cake.
If you eat too much ooh ooh
You'll awake with a tummy ache.

On the good ship lollipop
Its a night trip into bed you hop
And dream away
On the good ship lollipop"..

..throw in a couple of unicorns and gay rainbows as she dances and charms her little heart out to an unresponsive audience who are drawing their own red line.

..What would Obama do?"..
