Megyn is prettier...and more succinct, but Joe Dan is waaaaaaay more funny!

In this video, which is only a little over a minute, Megyn Kelly destroys Obama. I would challenge any Obama supporter to defend Our Precious Boy-King against her accusations. Go ahead...I'll wait...



But, pretty as she is, she's no match for Joe Dan when he's on a roll. Coming at you from his new digs in Tennessee....JOOOOOOooooe Dan GORMAN!




Dear Mr. President,

Please don't murder me with a Hellfire missile.

All my love,
Buttercup

(Thanks, Joe Dan, for the idea. It never hurts to ask nicely for what you want!)


We're going to have to call these guys when
Obama's done with this country.

I can't even manage faux outrage.

But Mr. Klavan does a pretty good job of pretending to be insulted and offended and emotionally injured. Me? I'm well into a lovely bottle of chardonnay and you could say just about anything to me on about any subject and my reply would be, "Meh."

Or, if I could find the strength to use more letters, "Whatever."




His best line is, "I demand hypocrisy!"

I had to put my wine down for that one or I would have spilled some laughing.

We're All Going to Hell

Apparently this determination was arrived at a number of years ago, and over 10,000,000 people already know it, but I am -- if anything -- always fashionably late. So I just found out.




I've figured we were doomed for sometime, so this just confirms my suspicions.

Dear Obama,


Weese All Stupid Now.

Apparently the Obama administration believes the American public -- all 330 million of us -- are complete retards.

But here we have a former senior official from the IRS who deliberately harassed hundreds of conservatives groups. She has taken the 5th Amendment—why? What sort of self-incrimination is she worried about? A look through her emails would have the answer. But those emails are, according to the IRS, unavailable because of a hard disk failure. Do you believe that? Do you believe that that the agency charged with tax gathering for the United States does not have multiple back ups of its business correspondence? Do you? Imagine what the IRS would have to say to a (conservative) business it decided to audit if a response for electronic records was met with, “Gosh darn, we had a hard disk failure, and they’re just plum gone.” Imagine. And why have there not been instant calls for the data recovery folks to get involved? Why?

And Iowahawk reminds us all:


Mr. Burge also kindly gives us a teeny bit of perspective:


So is it even LEGALLY possible for the IRS to have conveniently "lost" two years worth of electronic SENSITIVE correspondence? Hmmmm? Anyone?

OOPSIE! Looks like they didn't actually "lose" it. Looks like it was archived.


Even our normally navel-gazing, feckless Congressmen are getting a little peeved over this. 

Washington, DC – Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) issued the following statement regarding the Internal Revenue Service informing the Committee that they have lost Lois Lerner emails from a period of January 2009 – April 2011. Due to a supposed computer crash, the agency only has Lerner emails to and from other IRS employees during this time frame. The IRS claims it cannot produce emails written only to or from Lerner and outside agencies or groups, such as the White House, Treasury, Department of Justice, FEC, or Democrat offices.

“The fact that I am just learning about this, over a year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into question the credibility of the IRS’s response to Congressional inquiries. There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General.

“Just a short time ago, Commissioner Koskinen promised to produce all Lerner documents. It appears now that was an empty promise. Frankly, these are the critical years of the targeting of conservative groups that could explain who knew what when, and what, if any, coordination there was between agencies. Instead, because of this loss of documents, we are conveniently left to believe that Lois Lerner acted alone. This failure of the IRS requires the White House, which promised to get to the bottom of this, to do an Administration-wide search and production of any emails to or from Lois Lerner. The Administration has repeatedly referred us back to the IRS for production of materials. It is clear that is wholly insufficient when it comes to determining the full scope of the violation of taxpayer rights.”

Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Charles Boustany Jr., M.D. (R-LA) added, "In the course of the Committee's investigation, the Administration repeatedly claimed we were getting access to all relevant IRS documents. Only now - thirteen months into the investigation - the IRS reveals that key emails from the time of the targeting have been lost. And they bury that fact deep in an unrelated letter on a Friday afternoon. In that same letter, they urge Congress to end the investigations into IRS wrongdoing. This is not the transparency promised to the American people. If there is no smidgeon of corruption what is the Administration hiding?"

We will see whether their indignation at being played like cheap banjos will lead to anything other than a swell money-raising opportunity promising yet again to finally end the shenanigans if only you could please send them another hunnerd bucks, Mr. Stupid Retard Citizen.

I doubt it.

The Obama administration and his henchmen in the FBI, the IRS...et al ad nauseum...are simply lying their heads off, completely unconcerned that there will be any consequences -- except perhaps very generous pensions and luxury retirements. On the public's dime. That would be you, Mr. Stupid Retard Citizen. Pay up and then shut up.

When Obama fell on his sword for Holder over Fast and Furious, claiming executive privilege to stop the investigations, no one I knew could understand it. Here was a man who seemed almost to delight in throwing one and all under the bus if they became toxic. But suddenly he was stepping up for Holder. WHY?

I knew why. I told everyone then that Obama needed Holder to ride shotgun for the utter lawlessness of his administration. Not only had they already broken the law -- they intended to continue breaking the law. And, frankly, no one wanted to go to prison for it, which, I suppose, even us retards can understand. Obama needed Holder to remain in that position to shut down any inquiries, investigations, prosecutions of all the shit he knew they'd done...and intended to do, if necessary.

Obama trusts Holder because Holder is as dirty as they come. And after five years, they are all far, FAR too deep in their own shit to come clean now. That would mean prison for all of them.


And so it is.

America is dead, Mr. Stupid Retard Citizen. Stone. Cold.

They have lied so many times to us already and we have taken it. Why would they stop now? Why should they?

And every lie we accepted made us just a little less likely to resist the next one...and the next one...All dictatorships lie, not just because they need to, but because they want to. And because it does more than cover their tracks. It destroys us.

This quote is from one of my favorite authors, Theodore Dalrymple:

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.

Making Parenting Fun





This father's pantomime of his daughter's meltdown is the equivalent of Ye Old Stocks, where people were placed out in the town square to face the humiliation of their peers. And I say, "HEAR! HEAR! Where are my tomatoes?"


We need more of this style of parenting and far, FAR less of the overly solicitous, "princess-let's-talk-about-your-feelings" style of parenting that allows children to feel that outrageously obnoxious, uncontrolled temper spats make others bow to their whims.


One of the gravest mistakes you can make as a parent, and one that the liberalized therapists and  authorities on parenting insist that you MUST make if you are to be an enlightened parent, is to treat your child as if he or she is an adult. Today's parent is told to listen to his child, honoring the emotional struggles of childhood and encouraging them to talk about their feelings, trying to guide the little dauphin to a reasonable resolution.

This is worse than nonsense. It is dangerous.

Children are the original terrorists. They see anything less than General Patton threatening to wrap their guts around his wheels as weakness and surrender. Any child worth their salt will only push further into parental territory at the first waver and begin demanding everything in sight. Their precious little egos should never be the parent's concern at this stage of life. They are ALL ego at this stage of life. SUPER. EGO. ME! ME! ME! MINE! MINE! ME! NOOOOOOOOOW!

Years ago I was renting a movie at the video store (I'm talking YEARS!), when a young male demon decided - for whatever reason - that he was not going to leave the store with his mother. He was, instead, going to stop squarely in the doorway and share with all of us his bellowing vocalizations regarding something about which I did not give even a tiny little shit. (Which was for the best as his rage had rendered him unable to form words.) His mother performed the standard public response of trying to soothe him, immediately bargaining with the miniature tyrant, but apparently she did not offer sufficient booty to quench his fury and the screaming increased. With a sudden show of backbone, she threatened to take him straight out to the car if he couldn't control himself. Now I was interested. This was unexpected, I thought.

The raging little hell spawn thought so, too, because he reacted with a strange hiccup and a look of mystified confusion.

She had him.

But she blinked.

You can not blink in such moments. This is as dangerous as dropping your crucifix when performing an exorcism. This is like freezing when you are playing a pipe in front of a cobra. You. Must. Not. Blink!

But she did and that was it.

The noise out of this kid threatened to shake the movies off the shelves. I realized I was marking red lines in my palms from clenching my fists to remain silent. And the mother, having surrendered her authority utterly but clinging to some semblance of adulthood for the rest of us, actually said to her thundering spawn, "Okay then, we will stay right here - with all these people - until you get control of yourself."

W. T. F?

I blurted out, "How is THAT going to shut him up? Screaming in front of us is The Plan."

She looked at me like I was a horrible person. I looked at her like she was stupid.

I didn't blink.

She turned and grabbed her child and dragged him, still screaming and now thrashing, out to the car.

I won.

But if I were Queen, there would still be stocks for idiots and tyrants, whatever their age.

Eric Cantor Beaten by Nazi Sympathizer!

The Third Reich rises again.


It was big news that the Majority Leader of the House was spanked and sent home yesterday. Such big -- UNEXPECTEDLY BIG -- news that the media was spinning like a four year old in a princess costume trying to make her skirts stand out straight from her body. The answer COULD NOT BE that the voters were tired of the lies and the hypocrisy and the you'll-take-it-and-like-it amnesty deals that Cantor had been pushing.

No.

That. Could. Not. Be.

Because Eric Cantor is Jewish, you realize.

And David Brat once wrote that Hitler's rise could happen all over again.

So.

There you have it.

(know what I mean?...know what I mean?...nudge...nudge...say no more) Although they will say more. The press will be beating this dead horse until the election, doing everything in their power to paint the dark horse, Brat, as a total right-wing jackass braying insanely about white supremacy and the rise of the Fatherland. Brat beat Cantor on immigration, so obviously Brat is a racist and a supremacist and hater of all that's holy -- and so are all the people who voted for him. Clearly Eric Cantor's defeat is evidence that everyone on the right are insane Jooooo haters looking for Hitler to rise again and finish the job.

But Victor Davis Hanson has a different take:

Eric Cantor’s luck ran out, when his long insistence of pushing immigration-reform legislation finally coincided with a massive and sudden rush of thousands to the U.S. border from Central America. That lining up of the planets explains why a good but obscure candidate beat a supposedly invincible insider.
There are a number of elements to the illegal-immigration debate that really tick off people of all races and classes and drive them to the polls in a way the alliance of the Chamber of Commerce and La Raza activists can never comprehend. One, the issue really has become an elite/mass split. The left-wing identity-politics crowd knows that such huge numbers of illegal immigrants preclude easy assimilation and integration. They like that, given that they are self-appointed representatives of millions of new in-need constituents. And they don’t care whether illegal immigration is disastrous to the working American poor, among them millions of Hispanics — a fact that once caused an exasperated Cesar Chavez and the UFW to go down to the border to demand an end to unchecked and unlawful immigration (was he a “nativist“?).
There is also the little matter of the law and the desire of citizens to have the laws of their country upheld by their elected representatives. But that's just crazy talk. And filled with hate. Because RACISM!!

Oh..and it's for the children. Always for the children.

President Barack Obama is calling tens of thousands of illegal-immigrant children languishing in temporary U.S. holding pens an 'urgent humanitarian situation,' but Republicans are pointing the finger of blame squarely at the White House.

Obama instituted an immigration policy that the GOP says enticed tens of thousands of Central American children to cross America's southern border illegally without any parents to guide them.

More than 33,000 have been picked up in Texas alone since October. The U.S. border patrol says its forces are overwhelmed, and the courts are bracing for a flood of immigration cases from children held in temporary detention facilities designed to handle a fraction of the numbers. Sanitation problems are beginning to rear their ugly heads.
Suffer the little children to sneak across the border and secure a place in Paradise for their parents and all their kin.

It's in the Bible.

5%-ers.

MSNBC is believed trustworthy by FIVE PERCENT of the people in the country.

FIVE PERCENT.


FIVE PERCENT.

Actually I find that figure amazing because of how HIGH it is, not how low. I'm staggered that 5% of my fellow countrymen believe in Ed Schulz and the dike with the modified crew cut - what's her name? OH! And "Tingles" Matthews.

When you think about it, 5% is an astonishingly high number of idiots just walking around freely. Who are these people? How are we to identify them as they move among us?

I'm scared.

No matter what you think you're doing, you're not doing anything.

And neither am I.

One of the reasons I have slowed way down on my posting, and when I do post it is more frequently about some silly meme or joke, or a quick comment on a funny YouTube video, perhaps a cursory examination of a meaningless event or a snide remark about the latest madcap antics of our Most Beloved President...is because I feel that there is truly nothing of any significance that can be done.

Ann Barnhardt says it for me:

When I read commentator after commentator breathlessly asking, “Why would they do this? It looks so bad!” I just shake my head. They did it because THEY ARE THE ENEMY. They’re not Americans. America is dead. It’s their state now, and they will do what they want, when they want, and what you think about it or what the Constitution or the old U.S. Code says is utterly, totally, completely irrelevant.

They don’t care that it looks bad because the overthrow of the constitutional republic is a fait accompli and has been for YEARS. What the hell are you going to do about it? Nothing. Oh, you’ve made that PERFECTLY clear. These people have been committing CAPITAL OFFENSES according to the old U.S. Code on a daily basis for YEARS and NO ONE GIVES A SHIT. No one will do anything except cluck their tongues and shake their heads. Every day you can find some new piece commenting on all of this which uses the word “outrage”. What are you talking about, “I’m outraged”? No you aren’t. If you were outraged you would have done something, and you would have done it a long time ago. And no, signing some bullshit “petition” online is NOT DOING SOMETHING. Spamming people with emails saying, “Oh my gosh, this is outrageous!” is NOT DOING SOMETHING. Making up a damn Twitter hashtag is NOT DOING SOMETHING. Showing up to a “march” where people go for a leisurely walk in a circle with their friends, and then have a cook-out or picnic, and then everyone’s home in time for Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead IS NOT DOING SOMETHING. “Liking” a post on Facebook is NOT DOING SOMETHING.
None of us are really doing anything because the only thing left to do is to start arresting people. And that will not be allowed without fighting and killing. And that is revolution. And no one wants that.

No one.

But no one in the entire history of mankind has ever WANTED war. Okay...no one SANE. And America is chock full of sane people. Good people. Kind people. Optimistic people. Naive people.

The very qualities that make us so wonderfully unique, so gosh darned NICE are the reasons we allow so much perfidy and lawlessness and corruption in our politicians and shrug our shoulders. Our naive belief in a system that is completely broken and buried under a century of progressive bullshit  allows us to hope that signing some stupid online petition or giving money to an outspoken candidate who will SURELY fix things or simply voting will be all that is needed to get things on the right track.

It won't. It's too late for that. Maybe, if our parents had seen the danger of asking government to take care of so much, if THEY hadn't been naive, we wouldn't be here...but we all share in this. And we will all bear the yoke of slavery because of it.

There is only one way these people will ever, ever, ever be stopped. They must be forcefully, physically removed. This means war. This means hot counter-revolution. This means people are going to die on all sides. They will commit atrocities, because they are in the most literal sense, atrocious human beings. The definition of “atrocious” is “horrifyingly wicked”. They will burn everything to the ground and salt the earth before they release their grasp on the money and the power over human life that they have, and continue to gather to themselves in an insatiable lust with each passing day.

I've been saying this privately to my husband for years now. It's too late to fix peacefully. The men who really run things in this country are seeking the world and will not be deterred by our pitiful pleas for release. They want it all and they have the armies, the technology, the will to do whatever it takes to control everything.

The question is: do we have the will to resist?

I don't know anymore. It must surely come when we reach the point where we would rather die than live as they determine we must.

We're certainly not there yet. And I don't know if we ever will be and I don't think it is because they will prove to be merciful and benevolent rulers, allowing us our "Survivor" reruns and our Sunday football. They will be -- eventually...inevitably -- horrifyingly brutal. But their brutality will only show itself when we, the people, are utterly and completely defenseless...not just physically unarmed against their armies but spiritually and emotionally unarmed, too.

Not a very upbeat post. But somehow it seems appropriate on this 70th anniversary of D Day, the Normandy Invasion. Once brave men stood against evil. Now we barely look up from our computers or smartphones or streaming Netflix.

We should all have learned these words and taken them to heart:

Slip sliding away....

Saturday is my daughter's high school graduation. Hopefully she will fair better than these poor souls.




The entire class is practicing tomorrow, and she has elected to wear flat sandals instead of high heels to negotiate the grass, so with any luck we may avoid disaster.

HAPPY GRADUATION!

CONGRATULATIONS!

"I know you are, but what am I?"


"Infinity."




Apparently the world's smartest president with the world's smartest administration is taking its cues on intelligent rebuttal from Pee Wee Herman. When anyone steps forward and offers information that is uncomplimentary or contradictory to the Obama White House story line on any "hot button" issue, the response is the equivalent of, "I know you are, but what am I?"

When people began complaining about the horrors of Obamacare: dropped policies, exorbitant new prices, inadequate coverage, no doctors...and that Obama had lied to them about keeping their doctors and their coverage...Harry Reid insisted they were the liars. Every. single. one. of. them.

Now we hear from the men who served with Bergdahl that he deserted and may have provided aid to the enemy, yet Susan "YouTube" Rice is insisting that he served with honor and distinction...so you're not going to believe this...but...they are all liars, too.

It would seem all our fellow countrymen are flagrant and unrepentant liars who are just hatin' on a black man in the White House. And I, for one, am ashamed of all of you. What other reason could there possibly be for contradicting the administration's story of honor and ethics and promises to never leave one of our own behind? (Ambassador Stevens might beg to differ with that...but he's dead...the liar.)

As for me...I'm taking George Carlin's advice.



H/T: Gateway Pundit

"...for once in your life focus your indiscriminate rage in a useful direction...!"

Learn about Net Neutrality, despite how boring the phrase is, and then get out there and FIGHT!




Wait a minute...remember when Obama PROMISED that there would be no lobbyists in HIS government? Yeah...that was back when we thought he was going to stop the rise of the oceans, too.

No Speak Engrish.

Many of you know that in my former life I worked for an international airline. This was back in the 80's and air traffic has only increased since then, meaning exchanges like this have surely increased as well.

Good Rord.




This is funny, but it's also terrifying in its implications, and exactly why I will never fly any airline from any country except the United States or other English speaking countries...okay...yeah...also European airlines.  That's it. China? No. Way.

The English language is the international standard for all air traffic communication. Period. If you can't speak it perfectly, then you have absolutely no business being in the cockpit of an international jetliner. Period.

The air traffic controller showed remarkable restraint in this exchange. If WWIII ever breaks out, it will be over an exchange like this when some poor air traffic controller just flips the eff out and starts screaming and running planes into each other.

The Wonder of Nature.

Buddleja, or butterfly bush, is not a particularly beautiful shrub, being far too leggy and with straggly foliage that is lackluster gray-green. When not in full bloom, it resembles nothing so much as a large weed. But I have always wanted one because it is such a magnet for butterflies, hence the nickname.

So yesterday I bought one, a large pot so I could place it on my back patio to observe any visiting butterflies, and happily spent the afternoon getting filthy as I filled up pots, watered, weeded, and whacked at things until Nature submitted to my loving ministrations.

Satisfied, I assumed I would have to wait for a few days at least for the arrival of the butterflies. I mean, how would they just know the new bush was here?

But in less than 24 hours, our first visitor arrived!!!



I am amazed at the wonder of nature, that such a simple miracle could happen with such ease. Put out a bush and the butterflies know in only hours that it is there.


Now if I could just take a decent picture with the proper focus -- THAT would be a miracle.

Why I will never own a Jack Russell terrier.

Because I'm not smart enough to build one of these.




And those little dogs are crazy busy every second of the day. They are the original ADHD sufferers.

I would use a snap lock on that door. I'd like to see her get out of that stall then!
