Jason Whitlock claims the NRA is the new KKK
I don’t intend to spend much time on this issue, but everyone is talking about it so I would be remiss not to throw my two cents in. Earlier today sports columnist Jason Whitlock was talking about the Jovan Belcher tragedy and he claimed the “NRA is the new KKK.”
I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously don’t have our best interests
Personally I don’t think we should get too worked up about this because who gives a damn what a sports reporter has to say on the issues anyway? If he knew what he was talking about he wouldn’t be a sports reporter in the first place, he would be covering issues which are more important than sports but he is not and there is a reason for that–as we have just learned.
Did you know there was a possible terrorist attack at a Social Security office in Arizona over the weekend and an Iraqi refugee named Abdullatif Aldosary is being held by the FBI on terrorism charges for exploding an IED shortly before the agency opened for business?
If you are like me you probably didn’t because it has received very little coverage in the mainstream media and although the man’s name was known neither CNN nor Reuters thought it was important enough to tell the American people the name of the suspect. I wonder why? Not! And to the surpriseof nobody the Huffington Post speculated that this attack might have been carried out by a right wing zealot even while admitting they had no proof:
Assuming this is a bombing, and that the bombing was conducted by a right wing zealot opposed to big government (neither of which we know for sure), I think we are seeing the start of something that I have seen coming for awhile.
Video tribute to the heroes of Benghazi: High on a Mountaintop
I found the following video at Bunkerville and it is something which all Americans must see. This is a song by Chris Cassone called ‘High on a Mountaintop’ and it is a tribute to those who died during the Benghazi terrorist attack. All proceeds go to the SEAL NSW Family Foundation, please help make this video go viral because these heroes and their families deserve it!
Dianne Feinstein admits she reviewed over 200 threat warnings before the Benghazi terrorist attack
While Susan Rice and her lies have been the focus of the investigation, as well as the media coverage, into the Benghazi terrorist attack on September 11th which took the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone Woods it is not the biggest issue in the scandal. Sure, Susan Rice and the cover up which ensued is A big issue but it is not THE big issue; while the question of who changed the CIA talking points for political reasons is a question in need of an answer there are many more important questions which need to be answered.
The Obama regime is more than happy to see all the attention paid to Susan Rice because it takes the focus off the questions which really need to be answered, among the questions are: Why did the Obama regime ignore Chris Stevens’ pleas for more security? Why did the Obama regime remove security teams before the attack in spite of Chris Stevens’ pleas? Why did the Obama regime ignore the warnings that an attack was imminent? Why did Barack Obama skip intelligence meetings in the week leading up to September 11th when everyone knows this is a date terrorist would love to target for another attack? Why did Barack Obama not send in help after the attack started when it was in the area? Why did Barack Obama lie during the debate and claim he linked the attack to terrorism on September 12th if he really thought the link was too tenuous? How is it that the Obama regime already had the You Tube video excuse cued up and ready to go and is it because they were warned an attack was coming and did nothing to prevent it? Was the CIA annex in Benghazi really an illegal CIA black prison site? Was the Obama regime smuggling weapons recovered in Libya through Turkey and into Syria? And lastly, does Barack Obama still feel the deaths of four Americans was just “a bump in the road?”
Open thread for Sunday, December 2nd: The Taxman edition
Here is the open thread for Sunday, December 2nd: Feel free to leave links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues might come up during the course of the day. Nothing is off topic here.
With Barack Obama’s reelection we know that taxes are going to be raised, we just don’t know on whom and by how much at this point. So to celebrate everyone paying their fair share I give you a song called ‘The Taxman’ by a band you might have heard of before, The Beatles.
Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.
Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me.

The unintended(?) consequences of Obamacare continue with the news today what Walmart will stop offering its new employees healthcare benefits:
Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, plans to begin denying health insurance to newly hired employees who work fewer than 30 hours a week, according to a copy of the company’s policy obtained by The Huffington Post.
But the news doesn’t end there because Walmart also announced that some current employees will also lose their healthcare coverage:
Under the policy, slated to take effect in January, Walmart also reserves the right to eliminate health care coverage for certain workers if their average workweek dips below 30 hours — something that happens with regularity and at the direction of company managers.
Who wants to bet that it will happen with more regularity once Obamacare is fully enacted?
Walmart is doing this because it will be cheaper for them to pay the fine for not complying with Obamacare while shifting the burden of providing these people with healthcare coverage to the federal government.
Labor and health care experts portrayed Walmart’s decision to exclude workers from its medical plans as an attempt to limit costs while taking advantage of the national health care reform known as Obamacare. Among the key features of Obamacare is an expansion of Medicaid, the taxpayer-financed health insurance program for poor people. Many of the Walmart workers who might be dropped from the company’s health care plans earn so little that they would qualify for the expanded Medicaid program, these experts said.
“Walmart is effectively shifting the costs of paying for its employees onto the federal government with this new plan, which is one of the problems with the way the law is structured,” said Ken Jacobs, chairman of the Labor Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley.
I, and many of my fellow bloggers, predicted this would happen years ago when the debate over Obamacare was still going on in the Congress and now we are seeing our predictions come true right before our eyes. They way things are going, there will be no way for such employees to ever contribute to their gold IRA. Things are shaping up to get worse in my opinion.
And this was always the true goal of Obamacare from the beginning; this is why the fine for non-compliance with Obamacare was set so low, it entices businesses to shift the burden of healthcare over to the state exchanges and then eventually over to the federal government, with the ultimate goal being a single payer system and that is where we are headed. But don’t just take my word for it:
It is being reported by the Chicago Sun-Times that if Hillary Clinton had a say in who would replace her as Secretary of State she would prefer John Kerry over Susan Rice. Here is what is being reported:
Sneed is told if Hillary had to choose between Rice and U.S. Sen. John Kerry, who is head of the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, she would prefer Kerry.
“Hillary is not close to Rice, who is tough — but is not the friendliest person,” said a top White House source. “And Hillary’s brief comment recently that Rice had done ‘a great job’ was considered underwhelming and tepid,” the source added.
A top White House source is stating that Hillary Clinton does not find Susan Rice to be the “friendliest person” in the world and she thinks John Kerry would be a better choice.
Not the friendliest person? That sounds like a dog whistle code phrase to me, as I am sure Chris Mathews will point out, right? It sounds to me as if Hillary Clinton is stereotyping Susan Rice as an angry black woman.
I think it is clear that Hillary Clinton is a racist who prefers the rich, while male over the black woman and just as the Congressional Black Caucus attacked John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Kelly Ayotte for opposing Susan Rice I expect them to hold Hillary Clinton to the same standard.
Wait a minute, the people of New York and New Jersey are still struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy? Didn’t Barack Obama already take care of this?
Shortly before the election Hurricane Sandy tore through the northeast and many people–myself included–felt the effects of this storm. Many people had it much worse than I did after this devastating storm ripped through the region and left images of destroyed homes, flooded out houses, long gas lines, and people struggling to get the food and water they needed for survival which was eerily similar to Hurricane Katrina during the Bush years.
But at least the federal government learned from Hurricane Katrina and the response would be much better than it was in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when that hurricane wreaked its vengeance on the gulf region, right? After all we have Barack Obama in change now and not the inept and uncaring President Bush so we didn’t have to worry about this being turned into a political issue or anything like that.
Two days before the election Barack Obama put his sympathy face on and appeared in the destroyed region with his new buddy Chris Christie and promised the people they would not be left behind like the people of New Orleans were–he was there for them, he felt their pain and he would cut though any red tape to to make sure they had what they needed.

Wake me up when the fiscal cliff negotiations are over
You may have noticed that I haven’t bothered to blog about the fiscal cliff negotiations and I have no intention to after I am through with this post. Frankly, I am tired of what seems to be the constant debate over the debt ceiling and the budget. It seems like every few months the Congress and the president are taking these issues up again and I am tired of writing about it so I will focus on other issues. Both parties were afraid to make tough decisions before the election and that is why we are in this position once again.
During the last debate over the debt ceiling the Congress set up was was called either a super committee or a super Congress depending on who you listened to and this was designed to trigger automatic spending cuts and tax increases which were supposed to be offensive to both parties thereby forcing the Congress to come to a deal. Predictably this didn’t happen and now we are set to fall off the fiscal cliff that the two parties created. But in reality this super committee accomplished its goal because what the Congress really wanted was a delay in the negotiations until after the election so the lame duck Congress could tackle the issue without political fallout during the election. And that is where we are today.
New Hampshire: Maggie Hassan admits Ovide Lamontagne was right
During the campaign to replace the outgoing Democrat Governor of New Hampshire, John Lynch, Maggie Hassan and the Democrats in the state portrayed Ovide Lamontagne as a radical, Tea Party extremist who wanted draconian cuts to social programs and education because he was a mean spirited, non-caring elitist. (My words of course, but that was the tone of the campaign from the left and not that much different from some of the commercials running in the state.) Maggie Hassan was the angel who would swoop in and give everybody everything and nobody would ever want again. (Again, my words.)
Ovide Lamontagne spoke about fiscal responsibility–the same type of fiscal responsibility which the Tea Party in New Hampshire used after winning the 2010 mid-tem elections to cut both taxes and spending while balancing a budget which came in 10% lower than the previous budget–while Maggie Hassan ran on the promise to reinstate all the budget cuts. Guess who won?
State agencies submitted their budget proposals last week and naturally they expected the “irresponsible” spending cuts would be restored, after all that is what Maggie Hassan promised, and if all the spending increases proposed by these agencies were approved the state budget would go up a whopping 19%.
Now that she is governor-elect Maggie Hassan is faced with reality and cannot rely on rhetoric and she admitted yesterday that the state simply cannot afford the increases which are being sought. I guess she now thinks it would be irresponsible to undo the “irresponsible” spending cuts, now it would be irresponsible to spend more money. She admitted that it would take years to undo all the spending cuts made two years ago by the Tea Party Republicans, but that was not the tune she was singing during the campaign.
Ovide Lamontagne warned the people of New Hampshire that we simply could not afford the spending which Maggie Hassan was proposing and now that she is governor-elect Maggie Hassan has admitted that Ovide Lamontagne was right all along.
