RAPID
RESPONSE (Archives)...Daily Commentary on News of the Day
This is a new
section. It will
offer fresh,
quick reactions by myself to news and events of the day, day by day, in
this rapid-fire world of ours. Of course, as in military
campaigns,
a rapid response in one direction may occasionally have to be followed
by a "strategic withdrawal" in another direction. Charge that
to
"the fog of war", and to the necessary flexibility any mental or
military
campaign must maintain to be effective. But the mission will
always
be the same: common sense, based upon facts and "real politick",
supported
by a visceral sense of Justice and a commitment to be
pro-active.
That's all I promise.

I think all sports fans will get a kick out of this letter written to the Chicago Tribune.... Enjoy !
No matter which side you are on in the matter of renaming the Washington Redskins, this is funny. This guy is hilarious... Here is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins.
Dear Mr. Page: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly insulted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward.
Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.
The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60s alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk.
The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives.
I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.
Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!
Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children.
The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children.
The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children.
The Milwaukee Brewers. Well, that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children.
So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing Congress loves.
As a diehard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers." (especially when they play Southern California. Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers???)
I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. As for the Redskins name, I would suggest they change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to the dickheads in Congress.

AMERICA'S CRITICAL DIVISION WILL NOT END ON NOVEMBER 9. It will enter a new phase: toward gradual stability if Trump wins; toward another civil war if Clinton wins.
Marines have a wonderful way with words - clear, concise and to the point
If
you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the
Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're
praying. This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the
birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are
federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, "on
federal property and on federal time... For them to pray is clearly an
establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."
When
asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for
the Commandant of the Corps said, "To hell with ACLU! GOD
Bless Our Warriors. Send the ACLU to Afghanistan! Then watch
those SONS OF BITCHES pray." Please send this to people you know so
everyone will know how stupid the ACLU is getting in trying to remove
GOD from everything and every place in America . May God Bless America , One Nation Under GOD!
What's wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT!
THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE USA MANY TIMES IN GOD WE TRUST Semper Fi

Remember when Bill was President ? January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001 Two term President
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over an attempt to health care reform.
Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn't get a vote in a Democrat controlled US Congress.
This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million for studies, promotion, and other efforts.
Then, President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general.
Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood - both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration.
Next, she chose Janet Reno - husband Bill described her selection as "my worst mistake."
Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.
Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection.
When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guanier's radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.
Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations.
She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department.
Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
Many younger voters will have no knowledge of "Travelgate." Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson - and the White House Travel Office refused to comply.
She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation.
Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.
Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security.
When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the President denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.
Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.
Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the "bimbo eruption" and scandal defense.
Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were: She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation, they settled with Ms. Jones.
She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor.
After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
Hillary's devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for 'lying under oath' to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, "I do not recall," "I have no recollection," and "I don't know" a total of 56 times while under oath.
After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had "stolen."
What a swell person - ready for another four or eight years of this low-life fool?
Now we are exposed to the unsecure keeping and attempted destruction of beyond Top Secret emails while Hillary was US Secretary of State and the "pay to play" schemes of the Clinton Foundation.
What "shoe will fall" next?
But to her loyal fans: "What difference does it make?"
Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan absolution and giving him the keys to heaven!

ABORTION: THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY. See this report...
WORTH WATCHING:
Why the "females" of the species, (not women, and certainly not ladies)
are the more dangerous. This is all about protecting the
"right" to kill human beings at any stage after conception.
MORAL VOTERS, WOMEN, MEN, BLACKS, LATINOS, MUSLIMS, AND ALL OTHERS TAKE
NOTE.
Many of you know I served
as a
helicopter pilot in Vietnam, in combat nearly every day, and lost some
friends. We were tasked regularly to transport bodies of American
killed-in-action soldiers to the landing pad designated as "graves
registration" for our end of day duty. Our fighting troops
were
not always happy about the war, but the ones I dealt with were
honorable and should be held in high esteem. My heart cries
when
I hear or read of "incidents of disrespect" such as the email below
reveals. God Bless our defenders and first responders who
"soldier on" during these shameful times we must struggle through.
"A boy named Harold "
This pretty much summarizes how Obama and most liberals view
the US military.
Harold
was a bright child. He grew up in America. He went to school and had
a bright future ahead of
him.
Harold
was full of life but was cut short in a violent moment. While few
people had ever heard of Harold before his death, many did
afterward. And in death, something very shocking happened.
What
was so shocking, especially when it is compared to the death
of
someone else recently in the
news?
Harold was Harold Greene, Major General, United
States Army.
On
Aug. 5, 2014, Major General Greene was killed by a Taliban terrorist.
He was returned to America with full military
honors.
It has been a tradition that the president attends the
funeral of general and flag officers killed in the line
of
duty.
Richard
Nixon attended the funeral of a major
general killed in Vietnam and George W. Bush attended the
funeral
of Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, who was killed in the
9/11
attacks.
While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was
golfing. The vice president wasn't there either.
Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for
America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri.
Brown
was at best a thug. In the minutes before his death, he
committed
a robbery at a local convenience store. According to other
reports, Brown struck Officer Darren Wilson and shattered his
orbital
bone.
Obama sent a three-person delegation to Brown's
funeral!
Obama
would not attend the funeral of the highest ranking military officer
killed in the line of duty since 9/11, yet Obama sent a
delegation to the funeral of a
thug.
When Margaret Thatcher, one of America's staunchest
allies and Ronald Reagan's partner in bringing down Soviet
communism, died, Obama sent only a small low-level delegation
to
her
funeral.
The snub was not missed by the British.
When
Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper in history was murdered,
there was no expression of sympathy from the
White
House.
But when Whitney Houston died from drug overdose, Obama
ordered all flags be flown at half-mast.
There
was no White House delegation at the funeral of an American hero.
American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course. A thug
dies and he gets a White House delegation.
No
wonder the thugs are killing police and most "REAL" Americans hold
Obama in such contempt, especially members of our Military
and Police.
And the only difference between Obama and Hillary
is that she doesn't play golf.

"Reacher: Never Go Back"
A good movie:
in plot, in characterization, in acting, and in editing of all the
fight scenes that otherwise would have produced death or maiming of the
actors.
In fact, this is a rare time when I can compare it with
the book, which I read on a recent cross-country trip. (I rarely read
fiction).

IF THIS NATION EVER NEEDED GOD...
The
following is a collection of quotations compiled by Newt Gingrich (my
first choice for President). God also includes Allah, the God of
Islam...although not the unrecognizable "god" of extremist Muslims.
"God
governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall the ground
without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His
aid?"
Benjamin Franklin.
"It
is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on
the Lord's
side".
President Abraham
Lincoln.
"The rights of man come not from the generosity of the
state but from the hand of God".
President John F.
Kennedy.
"The American nation from its first settlement at
Jamestown to this hour is based upon and permeated by the principles of
the Bible". Supreme Court Justice David
Josiah Brewer.
"Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but
to God". Tomb of the Unknowns, Arlington Cemetery.
"The
real fire within the builders of America was faith - faith in a
Provident God whose hand supported and guided
them..."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
"God who gave us life gave us
liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a
conviction that these liberties are the gift of
God?" Thomas Jefferson.
"Congress shall
make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof." First Amendment to the Bill
of
Rights.
"The heavens declare the Glory of God, and the firmament
showeth His
handiwork".
Psalm 19:1
"It
is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty
God and to obey His will". George
Washington.
"We
here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth." Abraham Lincoln.
"The
highest story of the American Revolution is this: It connected in one
indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the
principles of Christianity." John Adams.

What is Hijrah?
Obama is well educated in the Muslim religion since he studied it while
living in Indonesia. He does not want this email to be spread all over
the
US because he wants us to be totally ignorant of what is really going on
with the ISIL movement.
This makes all the turmoil now make sense. Sad, and doesn't bode well
for us.
What is a Hijrah?
Large scale mass migrations become invasions and this actually appears
to be a hijrah as he describes it.........this is NOT going to end well.
It appears the policies of the liberal socialist leaders in Europe and
the US do not want to keep these lands from being overrun. Why???
I couldn't figure out why other Arab countries ( Saudi Arabia, UAE,
Oman, etc.) weren't taking in refugees, so I started digging.
Hijrah is jihad by emigration. It means moving to a new land in order
to bring Islam there and is considered in Islam to be a holy and
revered action. "And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find
on the earth many locations and abundance, and whoever leaves his home
as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him,
his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah." (4:100) So if a
Muslim dies in the process, that's essentially the same as being a
suicide bomber, his reward is automatic. This explains the great
eagerness to undertake such a perilous journey.
Muhammad and his followers emigrated from Mecca to Yathrib/Medina in
622 CE. It was there that he became a military leader & still
uneducated.
This is where all the commands to commit violence against unbelievers
originate from. It's important to note that the Islamic calendar marks
this as the beginning of Islam.
This current massive hijrah was announced last January although few
paid the announcement much attention.
A supporter (or member) of ISIS uploaded a document in Arabic that
urged Muslims to get to Libya for its proximity to southern Europe and
for the important tactical value of its illegal immigration circuits
to facilitate infiltration of European cities ("It has a long coast and
looks upon the southern Crusader states, which can be reached with ease
by even a rudimentary boat").
In February, transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy
said ISIS was threatening to send 500,000 migrants as a
"psychological weapon" against Europe . The Italian Minister for the
Interior, Angelino Alfano, said at the time, "If the militias of the
Caliphate advance faster than the decisions of the international
community how can we put out the fire in Libya and stem the migration
flows?
We are at risk of an exodus without precedent.
Also in February, the Turkish intelligence service warned police that
up to 3,000 trained jihadists were seeking to cross into Turkey from
Syria and Iraq and then travel through Bulgaria and Hungary into
western Europe. From Syria , to Hungary & then into the rest of
Europe .
Sound familiar?
In May, a Libyan government adviser warned that Islamic State
operatives were being" smuggled to Europe in migrant boats."
ISIS is profiting from the human trafficking trade, forcing boat
owners to hand over their profits or be killed.
Some ISIS operatives are already sheltered in safe houses in the south
of the Europe . Groups of men, 17 to 25, from Palestine and Syria ,
cross into Bulgaria and from there move into the rest of the EU. A
former Al Qaeda double agent told the BBC that he knew of two Egyptian
brothers who reached Italy from Libya , accompanied by men who were
"deeply religious and fluent in Italian and French."
Go watch the videos of those "refugees" again. How many of the
"refugees" are 17-25 year old men? Of military age?
If that doesn't convince you, we already know terrorists are coming
through with the waves of refugees: a week ago five men were arrested
attempting to cross the Bulgarian-Macedonian border with Islamic State
propaganda, specific Jihadists prayers, and decapitation videos on
their phones.
They had been posing as refugees. UK Independence Party leader Nigel
Farage warned: "I fear we face a direct threat to our civilization if
we allow large numbers of people from that war torn region into Europe
."
Other Muslim countries are not "taking in" these "refugees" because
this is a hijrah into Europe . This is no humanitarian crisis. It is an
invasion. Its goal is to transform Europe : over tax its economies,
tear down its wealthiest nations, re-draw the demographics and, of
course, the culture. And our government wants to start
letting them
into our Country? Are we all Forest Gumps? Is this
worth sending on?
"If you place a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will immediately try
to
scramble out. But if you place the frog in room temperature water, and
don't
scare him, he'll stay put. Now, if the pot sits on a heat source, and
if you
gradually turn up the temperature, something very interesting happens.
As
the temperature rises from 70 to 80 degrees F., the frog will do
nothing. In
fact, he will show every sign of enjoying himself. As the temperature
gradually increases, the frog will become groggier and groggier, until
he is
unable to climb out of the pot. Though there is nothing restraining
him, the
frog will sit there and boil. Why? Because the frog's internal
apparatus for
sensing threats to survival is geared to sudden changes in his
environment,
not to slow, gradual changes".
This is worth reading, however it will upset you.
ALL Of A Sudden....Seven Short Years Have Passed!
Before Obama, There was virtually no outlandish presence of Islam in
America.
. All of a sudden, Islam is taught in schools. Christianity and the
bible are banned in schools.
. All of a sudden we must allow prayer rugs everywhere and allow for
Islamic prayer in schools, airports, and businesses.
. All of a sudden we must stop serving pork in prisons.
. All of a sudden we are inundated with lawsuits by Muslims who are
offended by American culture.
. All of a sudden we must allow burkas to be worn everywhere even
though you have no idea who or what is covered up under them.
.
All of a sudden Muslims are suing employers and refusing to do their
jobs if they personally deem it conflicts with Sharia Law.
. All of a sudden the Attorney General of the United States vows to
prosecute anyone who engages in 'anti-Muslim speech'.
.
All of a sudden, Jihadists who engage in terrorism and openly admit
they acted in the name of Islam and ISIS are emphatically declared they
are NOT Islamic by our leaders and/or their actions are determined NOT
to be terrorism, but other nebulous terms like 'workplace violence."
.
All of a sudden, it becomes Policy that Secular Middle East dictators
that were benign or friendly to the West, must be replaced by Islamists
and the Muslim Brotherhood.
. All of a sudden our troops are withdrawn from Iraq and the middle
east, giving rise to ISIS.
.
All of a sudden, America has reduced its nuclear stockpiles to 1950
levels, as Obama's stated goal of a nuke-free America by the time he
leaves office continues uninterrupted.
. All of a sudden, a deal
with Iran must be made at any cost, with a pathway to nuclear weapons
and HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars handed over to fund their programs.
.
All of a sudden America APOLOGIZES to Muslim states and sponsors of
terror worldwide for acts of aggression, war, and sabotage THEY
perpetrate against our soldiers.
. All of a sudden, the American
Navy is diminished to 1917 Pre-World War I levels Of only 300 ships.
The Army is at pre-1940 levels. The Air Force scraps 500 planes and
planned to retire the use of the A-10 Thunderbolt close air support
fighter. A further drawdown of another 40,000 military personnel is in
progress.
. All of a sudden half of our aircraft carriers are
recalled for maintenance by Obama rendering the Atlantic unguarded,
NONE are in the Middle East .
. All of a sudden Obama has to
empty Guantanamo Bay of captured Jihadists and let them loose in
Jihad-friendly Islamic states. He demands to close the facility.
. All of a sudden America will negotiate with terrorists and trade FIVE
Taliban commanders for a deserter and Jihad sympathizer.
.
All of a sudden there is no money for American poor, disabled veterans,
jobless Americans, hungry Americans, or displaced Americans but there
is endless money for Obama's "Syrian refugee" resettlement Programs.
. All of sudden there is an ammunition shortage in the USA.
.
All of a sudden, the most important thing for Obama to do after a mass
shooting by two supporters of RADICAL Islamic Jihad, is disarm American
citizens.
. All of a sudden, the President of the United States
cannot attend the Christian funerals of a Supreme Court Justice and a
former First Lady because of previous (seemingly unimportant)
commitments.

TODAY, AMERICA IS MUCH LIKE THE FROG....
All of a sudden, I'm sick to my stomach. I'm not sure the majority of
Americans recognize the
seriousness of the situation and just how much "progress" has been made
by Islam these last
7 years, a very brief time compared to an average 75 year lifetime!
"...NOT SUITED TO BE PRESIDENT"...
as if every one of America's Presidents was "suited".
In fact, "The People" have made some doozies of mistakes through the
last two centuries.
Check
out the fascinating article in MENSA BULLETIN, October 2016
(americanmensa.org) entitled: "NOT SUITED FOR RUSHMORE: Eight
Less-Than-Great Presidents", pp 22 - 25.
Now come two other
candidates: one immersed in Politics for the last 40 years and now
well-known to be unsuited by integrity, temperament and
morality. The
other, a new-comer to Politics, a work-in-progress, has in my opinion
great potential.
So YOU DECIDE...and for God's sake and for the sake of the
nation...VOTE!!!
TRUMP VS. CLINTON.
The obvious, overwhelming and unprofessional bias of the main media in
favor of Hillary is a given by now.
But
is there, in addition to the careful culling of stories to tell and not
tell, an unintentional by-product: our reticence to believe ANYTHING we
read or hear? If so, we in America have entered a Heinrich Himmler era
of information / dis-information / information arrest.
With this in mind, I offer the following report.
If
true, and when added to the documented similar reportage in the book
"ARMAGEDON", we can now decide which of these two candidates for
President is tempermentally and morally unqualified for the position.
Obviously,
make your own decision. But just as obviously, please share
this
as widely as possible among your social media connections.
IT'S THAT IMPORTANT.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT
THE NBC PRESIDENTIAL FORUM WITH MATT LAUER
DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON’S BEHIND THE SCENES TIRADE AFTER NBC’s MATT
LAUER ASKED CLINTON THE ONE QUESTION SHE HAD NOT PRE-APPROVED
VETERAN NBC CAMERAMAN: ‘YOU REALLY HAD TO SEE THIS
TO
BELIEVE IT...SHE CAME APART – LITERALLY UNGLUED; SHE IS THE MOST
FOUL-MOUTHED WOMAN I’VE EVER HEARD...AND THAT VOICE AT
SCREECH
LEVEL...AWFUL’
”SHE LOOKED SO ENRAGED
THAT WE ALL THOUGHT HER HEAD WOULD EXPLODE...IT WAS A FULL-ON MELT-DOWN
AND THEN SHE SCREAMED SHE’D GET THAT F - - - ING LAUER FIRED FOR THIS.
IT WENT ON FOR AT LEAST A HALF HOUR; WE ALL THOUGHT THE EMS
WOULD
BE THE NEXT CALL”
NBC
Associate Producer of Forum
Behind the scenes, NBC technicians and cameramen at the Wednesday
night, Commander-in-Chief Forum (Sept 7) report that Hillary Clinton
was so angry and incensed that she had been ‘blind-sided’ by
one
question she was not prepared for and had not approved in advance.
“When her time in front of the cameras ended, Clinton shook the hand
Lauer extended to her and smiled once more for the wide camera shot and
then Hillary proceeded to pick up a full glass of water and threw it at
the face of her assistant and the screaming started. She was in a full
meltdown and no one on her staff dared speak with her – she went kind
of manic and didn't have any control over herself at that point.
How these people work with this woman is amazing to
me. Most of the small military audience were cordoned off,
their
seating not close to Mrs. Clinton, but certainly they heard her
screaming because it was loud...and she really didn't seem to care who
heard any of it.”
Republican Donald Trump also appeared, in a separate telecast from
Hillary Clinton’s and arrived with his two sons but no entourage or
assistants in tow. The NBC cameramen involved in his segment
said
he was a ‘true gentleman’ and Trump and his sons spoke to everyone and
thanked them for inviting him to speak: “It was a pleasure to answer
your questions Matt.”
Hillary Clinton’s segment was much different. According to people
working on the sidelines, “When Matt posed the one legitimate question
about the FBI investigation concerning her homemade server and the
unsecured emails, we could see she was beginning to boil and her eyes
looked to pop.”
“It was
toward the end of her interview so she was becoming unglued by the time
Lauer finished with questioning. Hillary went ballistic,
throwing
a huge tantrum and screaming at her staff, “you f - - - ing idiots, you
were supposed to have this thing set up for me and you’ve screwed it
up! If that f - - - ing bastard wins we all hang
from
nooses! Lauer’s finished...and if I lose it’s all
on you
ass - - - - s for screwing this up.”
Clinton finally stormed off the military ‘set’ and the assistant
producer said she was screaming that she wanted to talk to “the idiot
who set this mess up...you do not blindside me - ever!” and continued
to demand to speak with executives at Comcast, parent company to NBC
Universal.
Her dozen
or
more aides were visibly disturbed and tried to calm her down when she
started shaking uncontrollably. That did not stop her from
demanding an executive “on the phone, now!” She was told the
executive-in-charge of the forum was ready to talk with her and she was
led away by two rather large aides who appeared to help her walk.
The TV executives got the message with all of the censuring headlines
that followed over the next couple of days when it seemed the entire
media turned on Matt Lauer for behaving in a “partisan” manner and
“being grossly unfair and critical of the former secretary of state.”
Matt Lauer was heavily criticized on air by the Clinton campaign the
rest of the week with most of the mainstream media joining
in.
The media appeared to frame Matt’s one serious question as the Clinton
campaign was doing...”an unfair and partisan attack on Mrs. Clinton.”
Matt Lauer is still facing major backlash following his 23 minutes with
Hillary Clinton. Privately, many reporters said Matt handed
the
Democrat nominee the expected softball questions, but made the decision
to ask about the emails because, “the American people deserve an answer
from the former secretary of state.”
Calls were made to New York Times, Washington Post and Huffington Post
and Twitter executives with orders to “Crush Matt
Lauer”.
As you can easily see with all the headlines from these MSM sources,
they did as they were told by the Clinton campaign.
Hillary also screamed that she would be “treated with respect at the
debates or heads will roll.” Staffers at the
Clinton
campaign report that they fear her wrath and uncontrollable outbursts,
and one described Hillary as “an egotistical psychopath”.
Since Hillary does not allow any staff to have cell phones when she is
in their presence, no footage is available, but Hillary will never let
this rest. She has made it clear that she wants Matt Lauer to
be
“persona non grata - for putting her on the spot.”
Interim DNC chairman Donna Brazile, the first black woman to hold the
position, was singled out by Hillary during the
rant. She
screamed at Donna, “I’m so sick of your face. You
stare at
the wall like a brain dead buffalo, while letting that f - - - ing
Lauer get away with this. What are you good for,
really? Get the f - - - to work

A female NBC executive said that Donna Brazile looked at Mrs. Clinton
and never flinched, which seemed to enrage Hillary all the
more.
The executive continued, “It was the most awful and terrible...and
racist display – such a profane meltdown I have ever witnessed from
anyone, and I will never forget it. That woman
should never
see the inside of the oval office I can tell you that. She
was
unhinged and just continued to verbally abuse everyone – she was out of

HOW THE ESTABLISHMENT SYSTEMS, HILLARY'S AND THE OTHERS,
REALLY WORK.
"A pox on all their houses".
THE INTERNET: ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED AS COMPLETELY
OPEN-SOURCE.
It cannot be converted to a secure system.

hope that someone (ie. our military) is developing a completely
different system. Otherwise, cyber-warfare is WW IV: again "Mutual

"THIS HAS
BEEN THE BEDROCK OF
OUR NATION'S TRANSFER OF POWER FOR OVER 225 YEARS": the peaceful
acceptance of election results by the loser. (Hillary Clinton, August
19, 2016).
Well, NOT EXACTLY. Search Google for "Disputed National Elections".
Check out the national elections of 1800, 1824, 1860 (which led to
Secession and Civil War), 1876, 1888, 1960, and 2000.
Among
many other principles, the bedrock of our nation includes fairness, an
informed public informed by an unbiased Press, free and open elections
devoid of fraud, and ultimately the right of Protest.
In this
Election of 2016, with the nation openly and angrily divided and
mobilized, with the Press utterly and openly biased in favor of one
candidate, with cyberspace filled with inaccuracies, outright lies and
defamation without attribution, with one of the candidates widely
acknowledged to be without integrity over 40 years of public life, and
with overt and possibly covert efforts to "game" the electoral system
in at least several States, is the losing candidate expected and
required to pledge beforehand to accept the result without question or
recourse?
For the few of you readers of my comments who answer "Yes" to this
question, I have another question, multiple choice:
Are you a Hypocrite, or Stupid, or Brain-Dead?
Pick one.
I used to think I was just a regular senior citizen.
- I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a
racist.
- I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s standards,
apparently makes me a fascist.
- I am heterosexual, which according to gay people, now makes me a
homophobe.
- I am a practicing Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.
- I am older than 75 and retired, which makes me a useless old man.
- I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream
media tells me, which makes me a reactionary.
- I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which
makes me a xenophobe.
-
I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and
the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.
-
I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to
each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
-
I, and most of the people I know, acquired a fair education without
student loans (it’s called work) and no debt at graduation, which makes
me some kind of an odd underachiever.
- I believe in the defense and protection of our country for and by all
citizens, which now makes me a militant.
- Please help me come to terms with the new me… because I‘m just not
sure who I am anymore.
- I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through
these abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking!
-
I just can’t imagine or understand what’s happened to me so quickly!
Funny…it’s all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years!
- As if all this wasn’t enough to deal with… I’m now afraid to go into
either restroom!

About those unthinking, backward
Catholics
By Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. • Posted October 13, 2016
Back
in 2008, in the weeks leading up to the Obama-McCain presidential
election, two young men visited me in Denver. They were from Catholics
United, a group describing itself as committed to social justice
issues. They voiced great concern at the manipulative skill of Catholic
agents for the Republican Party. And they hoped my brother bishops and
I would resist identifying the Church with single-issue and partisan
(read: abortion) politics.
It was an interesting experience.
Both men were obvious flacks for the Obama campaign and the Democratic
Party — creatures of a political machine, not men of the Church; less
concerned with Catholic teaching than with its influence. And
presumably (for them) bishops were dumb enough to be used as tools, or
at least prevented from helping the other side.
Yet these two
young men not only equaled but surpassed their Republican cousins in
the talents of servile partisan hustling. Thanks to their work, and
activists like them, American Catholics helped to elect an
administration that has been the most stubbornly unfriendly to
religious believers, institutions, concerns and liberty in generations.
I
never saw either young man again. The cultural damage done by the
current White House has — apparently — made courting America’s bishops
unnecessary.
But bad can always get worse. I’m thinking, of
course, of the contemptuously anti-Catholic emails exchanged among
members of the Clinton Democratic presidential campaign team and
released this week by WikiLeaks. A sample: Sandy Newman, president of
Voices for Progress, emailed John Podesta, now the head of Hillary
Clinton’s campaign, to ask about whether “the bishops opposing
contraceptive coverage” could be the tinder for a revolution. “There
needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the
end of a middle ages [sic] dictatorship,” Newman writes.
Of
course, Newman added, “this idea may just reveal my total lack of
understanding of the Catholic church, the economic power it can bring
to bear against nuns and priests who count on it for their
maintenance.” Still, he wondered, how would one “plant the seeds of a
revolution”? John Podesta replied that “We created Catholics in
Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this . . .
likewise Catholics United” (emphasis added).
Another
Clinton-related email, from John Halpin of the Center for American
Progress, mocks Catholics in the so-called conservative movement,
especially converts: “They must be attracted to the systematic thought
and severely backwards gender relations and must be totally unaware of
Christian democracy.” In a follow-up, he adds “They can throw around
‘Thomistic’ thought and ‘subsidiarity’ and sound sophisticated because
no one knows what . . . they’re talking about.”
On the evening
these WikiLeaks emails were released, I received the following angry
email myself, this one from a nationally respected (non-Catholic)
attorney experienced in Church-state affairs:
“I was deeply offended
by the [Clinton team] emails, which are some of the worst bigotry by a
political machine I have seen. [A] Church has an absolute right to
protect itself when under attack as a faith and Church by civil
political forces. That certainly applies here …
“Over the last
eight years there has been strong evidence that the current
administration, with which these people share values, has been very
hostile to religious organizations. Now there is clear proof that this
approach is deliberate and will accelerate if these actors have any
continuing, let alone louder, say in government.
“These bigots
are actively strategizing how to shape Catholicism not to be Catholic
or consistent with Jesus’ teachings, but to be the ‘religion’ they
want. They are, at the very core, trying to turn religion to their
secular view of right and wrong consistent with their politics. This is
fundamentally why the Founders left England and demanded that
government not have any voice in religion. Look where we are now. We
have political actors trying to orchestrate a coup to destroy Catholic
values, and they even analogize their takeover to a coup in the Middle
East, which amplifies their bigotry and hatred of the Church. I had
hoped I would never see this day — a day like so many dark days in
Eastern Europe that led to the death of my [Protestant minister] great
grandfather at the hands of communists who also hated and wanted to
destroy religion.”
Of course it would be wonderful for the
Clinton campaign to repudiate the content of these ugly WikiLeaks
emails. All of us backward-thinking Catholics who actually believe what
Scripture and the Church teach would be so very grateful.
In
the meantime, a friend describes the choice facing voters in November
this way: A vulgar, boorish lout and disrespecter of women, with a
serious impulse control problem; or a scheming, robotic liar with a
lifelong appetite for power and an entourage riddled with anti-Catholic
bigots.
In a nation where “choice” is now the unofficial state religion, the
menu for dinner is remarkably small.

"HILLARY'S CORRUPTION"
This is the only way you're going to get this information.
GS
Hillary Clinton's
corruption is undeniable.
The
most recent email release from Hillary's hacked server highlights a
number of disconcerting facts that point to collusion between the
Justice Department, the media, and Hillary's presidential campaign.
Hillary's deceptive, manipulative tactics know no bounds.
The latest emails prove that:
• The Justice Department conspired with
Clinton's campaign.
The
executive agency informed a Clinton spokesman and former DOJ employee
of the imminent congressional hearings on Hillary's private server.
• The Clinton campaign tried to use one
scandal to cover up another.
Clinton's
team attempted to use Benghazi, which resulted in the murder of four
Americans, to deflect attention from her illegal private server.
• The media's pro-Hillary bias is now
indisputable.
CNN
contributor and then DNC vice-chair, Donna Brazile, shared information
on the primary debate questions with Hillary's campaign ahead of the
Democratic town hall.
In all three, separate controversies, Hillary
employed the same strategy- lie, deny, and hide the truth to avoid
responsibility for her willful deceptions.
The depths of
Hillary's deceit are undeniable, and the most recent batch of emails
confirm that Clinton's corruption is infectious- permeating executive
agencies that are required to remain impartial.
We have less than 30 days to prevent Hillary's unchecked criminality
from seeping into the White House.

"I DID NOT
HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN".
That was Bill then.
This is Donald now.
So how do you prove a negative?
Well, Donald will have to really try...if that is true.
Meanwhile,
the social and sexual mores of one or two generations ago were
different from those of the "hook-up" and abortion generation of
today...as Trump's accusers and their supporters well know.
Will
it matter? Not really, unless there is a voter turnout of over 70%,
much higher than the usual 55% for national elections. If
there
is, Trump wins. If there is not, Hillary wins.
But in either case, America loses - and enters into at least four years
of political and legal combat...or worse.
Given the precipitous decline of our society over the last 40 years in
every category:
"IN A DEMOCRACY, THE PEOPLE ALWAYS GET WHAT THEY DESERVE".

GLOBAL WARMING: PERIODIC UPDATE, SEPT. 29, 2016 ANOTHER PUBLIC ACCESS TV
LECTURE BY GS.
(See also the web site section: “THE ARCTIC”)
BOOK:
“NORTHWEST BY SEA”, 1961. Begins with John Cabot, 1497. 1857,
McClintock reported a navigable passage between the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans. Many died, including McClintock, trying to
traverse that “passage”. 1901, Roald Amundsen – of later Antarctica
fame – set off in a small herring sloop…and finally made the West to
East passage in August, 1906.
THIS WEEK, ATMOSPHERIC CO2 LEVELS REACHED 400 ppm: not good
and perhaps irreversible.
The “Tipping Point” of Paris Accord declaration, 1.5 – 2.0
degrees Celsius, is about to be reached.
CEO’s of many major oil companies acknowledge the presence
of Global Warming.
The
Effect of Arctic Ocean melting (fresh water) on the Atlantic Gulf
Stream circulation (salt water): it will suppress the warming current
that moderates the climate of both the East Coast of US and the Western
coast of Europe – with resultant much colder winters.
ANTARCTICA: Pivotal and complicated. Size of 1 ½ USA;
contains 90% of the Earth’s entire ice. All news no good: melting.
GLOBAL
HEAT WAVE: Every consecutive month in 2016 has been the hottest ever.
Consequences: great storms, floods, heat waves, tornadoes, droughts,
wild fires, coastal inundations….
US BEHIND IN THE ARCTIC: IN
COMMERCE, IN MILITARY PREPARDNESS, IN CLAIMS. RUSSIA WAY
AHEAD.
See current multination conference in Washington this week.
NEW PASSAGE OF LARGE COMMERCIAL SHIPS. BUT WATCH OUT FOR
ICEBERGs, MOVING AND NOT CHARTED.
EFFECTS ON ARCTIC INHABITANTS: LIVING SPACE, FISHING,
HUNTING, LIVELIHOOD.
EFFECTS OF INCREASED TEMPERATURE ON THE ACTIVITIES AND
ACTIONS OF HUMANS…
EFFECTS
OF MELTING ARCTIC THERMAFROST: METHANE RELEASE, WORSE THAN CO2
EFFECTS; UNEARTHING OF OLD ANIMAL CARCASES – ANTHRAX, ETC;
UNEARTHING OF OLD SECRET US NUCLEAR DUMP SITES….
BUT SEE THE
SUN: THE MAIN DRIVER OF ALL EARTH’S WEATHER AND CLIMATE, ESPECIALLY
THROUGH THE ACTIVITY OF SUN SPOTS, WITH CYCLES OF SOLAR MAXIMA AND
SOLAR MINIMA. THE SUN IS CURRENTLY IN A SOLAR MINIMUM CYCLE,
WITH
SUN SPOTS NEARLY ABSENT, EXPECTED TO CONTINUE UNTIL ABOUT 2020. DOES
THIS MITIGATE THE ABOVE TREND?
AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO ASSERT THAT GLOBAL WARMING “is
almost entirely caused by human activity”. WRONG!
