Violence Will Beget Violence

In yet another story of black-on-white random killing, the perp being a black 17-year-old named Jamal Jackson and the victim a 71-year-old man out shopping... a commenter at CBS Miami* website says:

"big boy crime should pay with big boy time..."

That's a pretty good rule, seems to me.

 
*There is a shocking amount of white anger displayed in the comments. At a CBS site! Things are getting ugly, and if the black race-baiters continue the way they're going, serious racial violence is on the horizon.

Between the black race hustlers and the compliant white-guilt media, they are stirring up a violent segment of black teenagers and young adults to act-out by committing violence against "the first white person" they see.

This can only end badly.

It must stop immediately.

Are you listening Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barry Øbama?

Now is your moment to do the first good, altruistic thing you have ever done: Save the next black kid from a life in prison or execution by the State... by discouraging violence instead of fomenting it.

10 Things I Learned While my Car got Fixed

-If you watch morning television in a mechanic's waiting room, you will learn more than you ever wanted to know about new trends in women's panties and boob glue.

-This month only, if you buy 3 Firestone tires, you get one free!  ( Too bad I didn't need tires)

-Some of the General Hospital actors are the same as when I was in Jr High. As far as I could tell, the plot involving a angst ridden woman with a knife and lots of people sleeping with people they shouldn't ..was also, the same.

-Katie Couric is a talk show host. And she's sorta blonde-ish. Who knew?

-Clearly, one will watch WHATEVER is on TV if the alternative is staring at racks of tires.

-Firestone was founded by a man named Harvey Firestone. (You will also read any signs you can see if the alternative is staring at racks of tires) (Maybe they should put up "Gun Free Zone" signs in waiting rooms? Pretty sure they'd at least get read anyway...)

-"We're driving it out to you now"  is mechanic for, "you still won't get your car for about an hour. Sit back down."

-Waiting room watching is a complex thing. It takes 4-5 workers to stare at the 2-3 people in the waiting room.  I'm not exactly sure why...but it does make me wonder if the car would have gotten done more quickly if...I don't know...a couple of them would have left the waiting room and gone to the shop and like...helped? But I'm the first to admit, I'm no expert. I'm an old car guy, NOT a MECHANIC.

-By the time they called me up (by my first name, no less. I guess after that much time, Mike and I were on a first name basis) I was so exhausted I would have paid several times what I *did* pay for the pleasure of leaving that waiting room and driving my own car home. (Don't tell Firestone) - BUT ...Because I was a valued Firestone customer and member of their Loyalty Program, I ended up *saving* a total of $1.56.

-After Obamacare is fully implemented, at some point I will be stuck in a doctor's waiting room, wishing I were enjoying myself as much as I enjoyed myself today.

Putin pulls Obama's strings

Well, if you’re one of those out there who has thus far failed to see the dominance of Vladimir Putin in the Putin/0bama relationship … the light surely must be shining now.  In the last 24 hours our Dear Ruler has managed to show not only America, but the rest of the world, just how weak he is on the world stage.
            A bit of a recap here to show you what kind of a bind 0bama was in:

• 0bama goes off-teleprompter (always a dangerous thing) and comes up with this “red line” gaff.  He is then on the record as saying that Assad will be dealt with harshly if he dares to use chemical weapons.
• Assad uses (or at least 0bama and Kerry say he used) chemical weapons against his own people.
• 0bama realizes how badly he screwed up with his “red line” comment.  His credibility, whatever is left of it, is on the line.
• 0bama seeks help from Great Britain.  For the first time since 1792 the British Parliament refuses to go along with a request from the Prime Minister to use force.  0bama is in this on his own.
• 0bama needs someone to stand with him on this, so he tells the nation he will seek an approval vote for the Congress.  It soon becomes clear the congress is not going along.  The Senate .. maybe … but not the house.  0bama is feeling even more lonely and exposed.
• 0bama calls in the campaign team, Plouffe et al.  It’s not policy he’s looking for, it’s words.  They tell him to tell the world that the red line isn’t really his.  Fail.
• Virtually all polls taken of the American people show strong opposition to 0bama’s planned attack on Syria.

So … here’s how I see the developments of the last few days.  Either it’s all very simple, or I’m just simple-minded.  (Sorry, we’re not going to take a poll on that.)
      Putin (background – ass-kicking KGB operative) sees a way to take advantage of this situation to both embarrass and establish a stronger dominance over 0bama (background – pot-smoking community organizer).  Putin heard John Kerry make a bit of a mistake at a presser.  Kerry is asked what Assad can do to avoid an attack.  The Poodle suggests that Assad could turn over his chemical weapons.  The White House immediately refutes the idea, and Kerry’s handlers start trying to walk the comment back.  But Putin was listening … and he makes his move.
      Putin, loyal to his primary goal here is to keep his pal Assad in power, immediately seizes on Kerry’s idea and makes it a firm proposal.  Just that quickly Putin takes control.
      Now 0bama sees a way out.  He knows that Putin is controlling the situation here, but at least now he can avoid an embarrassing congressional “no” vote, the first in American history.  But hmmmmmm.  Maybe 0bama can get some of his grove back here.  So he tells us that he was actually talking about this plan for Assad to give up his chemical weapons when he was meeting with Putin last week!  Yeah … sure.
      So …. Here we are.  Harry Reid has already put off the Senate vote.  After Tuesday’s speech by 0bama Reid will probably announce that the vote is postponed indefinitely.  The House may go ahead with a vote, but in light of Putin’s little parlay that vote will be cast as nothing more than an attempt to embarrass 0bama.
      An agreement will be reached between the ass-kicker, the community organizer and the gasser for Syria to turn over “all” of its chemical weapons.  Of course “all” of the weapons will not be turned over.  There will be inspections, but Putin will work with Assad to make sure the inspections are not too thorough.  In the end Assad will keep a good portion of those chemical weapons, and Putin will supply him with even more arms.
      The violence in Syria will continue, though the rebels will be dispirited.  In time Assad will once again use whatever chemical weapons he retained to keep the rebels at bay if that becomes necessary.  But wait!  How can Assad use these weapons and not as much as admit that he didn’t turn them all over to the United Nations?  Well, that one is easy.  He’ll use the weapons and tell the world “See!  I told you I didn’t use those weapons in the first place!  You didn’t believe me.  Now I gave up my chemical weapons .. yet they’re still being used against the rebels!  This just proves, as I said, that the rebel factions have these weapons and are using them and blaming it all on me!”
            High fives in Putin’s lair!

In The Wind

Today I was going to write a blog about 9/11 and what some Islamic fanatics did to our country.  I was going to say something about where we find ourselves today, and the unbelievable mess we find ourselves in thanks to our would-be President and his sidekick John Kerry.

Somewhere today, an American will die defending what we believe in, and what we are.  It's always been that way, and yet somehow we've let the country fall into the hands of people who see it all as a series of opportunities to be gamed, as a crisis not to be wasted.

Millions of people voted Mr Obama into office, and some of them appear to be awakening to the mistake they made.  Unless something drastic happens we can expect 3 and a half more years of his perfidy and incompetence.  The harm being done to this country will take generations to undo.  Nobody can say how much harm, or how long it will take.  The answer is "blowin' in the wind".  Today Jeb Bush will award Hillary Clinton the "Liberty Medal" for her supposed contributions to the country.  Maybe she can hang it on the wall next to Mr. Obama's Nobel Peace Prize and Mr. Kerry's Silver Star.

I'm sitting here in front of this computer at four o'clock in the morning,   and I realize that I have nothing constructive to say.  In DC right now there are God knows how many people on bikes converging on Washington to protest what's happening in this country, and I wish I was there with them.  I'm going to get on my own bike and go somewhere.  Maybe the wind will do me some good.

God Bless America.

WAHHHHH!!!! RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE !!!!!

Over at the Liberator Today, B-Daddy turns our eyes to today's fast food strike across the nation - yes, the same strike that lovely SEIU no doubt trucked in a few hundred paid goons to picket and protest at while the media laps up the moment in typical government-media complex fashion as the idiots parrot sad sob stories about how Maria, at 22 has three children and can "barely make it" working at McDonald's. No kidding.

My "solution?"

Don't stop at $15/hour; raise the minimum wage to $45 and see what happens.

What, that's too high, you say?

Why?

The simple economic truth is that the same unintended consequences occur if and when the Feral government raises the minimum wage to $15 as they would if they raised it to $45... just on a less extreme scale. Fast food employees in need of valuable life and work lessons will be deprived of just that as firms cut back on employees and adjust by automating tasks typically filled by workers today.

Anyway, isn't fast food entry-level work? Isn't that kind of job not a career but a job that a young person scores to make ends meet as they taste freedom away from the parents for the first time or to pay bills while slugging through college?

I truly cannot believe the mentality of people in America any more. What happened to true grit?

Want a decent job? Learn a trade or go to school - become passionate, highly skilled and irreplaceable at something that commands a decent price in the marketplace. Don't have children before you are married or too young either for that matter. Get your ducks in a row before you make big life decisions. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. Even in today's declining America it's possible - for anyone.

And get the government out of everything - they do nothing less than distort, dispirit and destroy every single thing they touch; the "minimum wage" included.

Threats in the Age of Smart Power

Does anyone know what’s going on with Syria? I know Obama doesn’t it, but hopefully he can figure it out before he gives his speech tonight explaining everything to us.
Anyway, John Kerry was going on about how this attack is going to be “unbelievably small” — and who wouldn’t be threatened by that — and then some other White House official compared the attack to making Assad eat Cheerios with a fork. And I guess Assad tried eating Cheerios with a fork and saw how difficult that is because now he’s going to team up with the Russians to get rid of his chemical weapons. We can’t trust Syria or the Russians by themselves, but together…
Anyway, now Assad will go back to just killing his people with bombs and bullets so everyone will be happy. But that got me thinking, if the threat of eating Cheerios with a fork got results, what other light threats can we use in this new age of Smart Power™ that Obama has created? Here’s some ideas:
* “We’re going to sand down one leg of his chair to make it a bit smaller. He’ll still be able to do everything he wants, but it will be much more wobbly.”
* “We’re taking the stick out of his corn dog. He’ll still be able to eat the corn dog, but he’ll get mustard all over his hands.”
* “We’re going to steal his remote control. He’ll still be able to watch TV, but he’ll have to walk up to the TV to change channels like in the olden days… unless he knows how to program a universal remote. But that takes time.”
* “He’s going to turn around and the sleeve is gone on his cup of Starbucks. He’ll have to wait minutes and minutes before he can pick that up — unless he puts a lot of cream in it.”
* “We’re going to put his chemical weapons in clam shell packaging. Technically, he’ll still have access to them… but, you know, he has to get through that thick, plastic clam shell packaging.”
* “We’re going to put a cat next to him. He’ll still be able to do all the evil he’s been doing, but they’ll be this cat constantly swatting him to try and get his attention.”
* “We’re going to steal the AC adapter to his phone. He’ll still be able to charge it by plugging it into his laptop, but that’s sorta, kinda inconvenient.”
* “We’re going to put a dog just outside his house that will be barking constantly at nothing. He’ll still be able to do anything he wants, but he’ll be like, ‘Let’s gather our chemical weapons and– Will someone shut up that dog!’”
* “He needs a Phillips screwdriver, but we’re going to make sure he has nothing but flat-head screwdrivers. He’ll still be able to get the screw out, but that screwdriver is going to slip a bunch.”
* “So he wants to do a Google search, but Google is gone. He’ll have to use Bing.”
* “This guy has made us extra mad, so he doesn’t even get a fork for his Cheerios. He gets a butter knife. If he keeps it up, and he’ll only get chopsticks.”
Enemies of the world, few the minor inconveniences we’ll inflict upon you!
…If Congress agrees to them. Which they probably won’t.

How Obama Can Convince Republicans on Bombing Syria

don’t want to call Obama a complete failure, but he can’t even get Republicans on his side to bomb Muslims in the Middle East.
Okay; that’s a lie; I’ve been wanting to call him a failure since the day he was sworn in. And I have. Constantly. You’ve probably even started tuning it out.
Anyway, if there was a video game for being president, convincing Republican to support bombing a country in the Middle East would be the tutorial mission. There should be no way to fail it. Bush used to just say, “I’m going to bomb the Middle East,” and Republicans would vote to authorize and wouldn’t even ask which countries. I mean, they just figure you can bomb just about anywhere there and hit someone who deserves it, probably blowing him up in the middle of an anti-American thought.
But Obama can’t get Republicans on his side. Or Democrats. Or any other countries. That has to really shake his confidence. Well, to help out, here are some tips on getting Republicans to support his bombing campaign in Syria.
HOW OBAMA CAN CONVINCE REPUBLICANS ON BOMBING SYRIA
* Remind them it’s in the Middle East.
* No seriously, I want to bomb people in the Middle East.
* Come on, guys; you’ve always been for this sort of thing before.
* I mean, you’ll be like, “We can’t spend any more money; we have too much debt. We have to balance the budget and– Oh, you want to bomb the Middle East? Let met take out a mortgage on the Washington Monument to pay for that.”
* This is a freebie, guys! I mean, you get to bomb people in the Middle East, and I won’t even call you warmongers this time. I’m taking this one on myself.
* So why aren’t you for it this time? Is it because of all those mean things I said about you guys because of Iraq? Come on, guys; that was just politics. Nothing personal. And it worked; I’m president now. That’s all that was.
* And really; I thought I’d get more countries to go along with me. I mean, Bush got a bunch on his side, so I thought I’d have like hundreds backing me up. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Maybe other countries are racist.
* I’m not in over my head. I’m a good president. This Syria thing isn’t making me look like a hapless idiot; it’s making you look like an idiot. So you better do what I say before everyone hates you.
* Come on! Please! Here; if you go along with me, I’ll give you what’s currently the most valuable thing in this country: an Obamacare waiver.
* You know what? Whatever. Bomb Syria; don’t bomb Syria — I get paid the same. When’s tee time?
* What do you think historians are going to say about me? I know I get “first black president,” but I was hoping for a few other things. I really thought the economy would turn around by now, Obamacare would be a hugely popular thing, and I’d be super popular world wide.
* Well, I have three more years. I can turn things around.
* Or it could get even worse. I don’t know if I can take this for three more years. Sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is realizing I’m the only thing standing in the way of President Biden.
* The other day, he thought he saw his briefcase move so he bit it. I don’t know how I ended up with him. He was supposed to add more experience to my ticket, but I guess no one around me knows what he or she is doing.
* Know what? Forget it. I’m going to go smoke a cigarette and eat a whole box of Krispy Kreme. Be cool and don’t tell Michelle.
