RUSSIA TO REESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH CUBA

In response to Obama's insolent messages to Russia about the continued artillery fire from from Russia into Ukraine, the refusal to arrange for access to the Malaysian Jetliner crash site and Russia's resumption of cruise missile tests in 2008 in violation of its treaty with the U.S., Vladimir Putin has made a very ominous move: he's strengthening relations with Cuba.  

This rejuvenation of Cuban ties includes the reestablishment of a Russian spy base in Cuba.  Russia is also offering military aid to Cuba again.  My question is this:  Who is to blame?  Is it Putin's arrogance or Obama's weakness, or a combination of both? 

Will Russia reinstall ICBM's in Cuba?  Has he already done so?  What do you think our illustrious President will do about it?  I mean, you have to admit Obama is no Kennedy. 

JP MORGAN CHASE INVESTIGATING SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS

JP Morgan Chase is in hot water with 4,000 employees and a growing segment of its customer base because it is asking all employees to complete a personal questionnaire about their sexual orientations and personal beliefs.  Although Chase says the survey was “completely voluntary and anonymous,” multiple whistle-blowers said they were required to enter their employee IDs.  

Now look here, JP Morgan Chase, there can be only one God in this country and God currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, DC.  So, you have no damned business asking these questions of your employees and insisting they identify themselves.  You say that it's voluntary, but you sure as hell will know if an employee doesn't participate when his employee ID number doesn't show up in the responses, won't you?  

While your employees are out looking for jobs with a competitor and your customers are wondering what kind of information you are accumulating about them, you need to be readying an answer to your stockholders when they start asking about who the corporate meat head is to blame for this intrusion into private, personal lives of their employees. 

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GO ON THE OFFENSIVE

Illegal immigrants protested at the White House yesterday, demanding that illegals who are parents of children born in the U.S. and illegals who brought their children with them be granted be granted a reprieve or amnesty.  They are also calling on various immigration groups to boycott any administration meetings or hearings unless illegal immigrants are included in such talks.  

At the rate they keep arriving, it won't be long before they are the majority in this country.  I think this must have been what Nikita must have been alluding to when he said that America would be brought down not by war, but from within as a result of its own doing.  And we all know who to blame for this mess, don't we Hussein? 

Hussein likes to point his bony finger at the Republicans who have in fact come up with several ideas to resolve the issue, but Obama flatly refuses to close the border, a necessary precondition for ANY plan to work. 

FEDS TRY TO END SCHOOL BAKE SALES

New standards for food in school cafeterias have escalated into a Federal attempt to eliminate sugars and fats from fundraising school bake sales.  It is estimated that such limits will literally destroy the sale of baked goods and severely hamper extra-curricular activities. 

And we all know who to blame for this bull, don't we Michelle?  

KING BARACK 1ST ISSUES NEW ORDERS ON OBAMACARE

Without fanfare, the White House has issued an ObamaCare exemption to five U.S. territories and 4.1 million people.  All territories were complaining that the law is so vague that they could not get insurance markets interested and their economies were in turmoil.   So, without a word to a soul and with no Congressional approval, Obama changed the law again. 

And here we sit like bumps on a log, allowing what has become a totally discriminatory law to morph at the will of a renegade "President."

DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES AND OBAMACARE

For obvious Democrat candidates for election or reelection to Congressional Office are doing everything possible to duck questions regarding their stands on ObamaCare.  Yet, when backed into  corner most such candidates come out with something like, "The nation likes ObamaCare and so do I.  We certainly don't want to see it go away, but maybe we'll consider some revisions to make it even better." 

Don't be to blame for casting your vote for a Democrat who supports the worst legislation to be passed in this country... ever. 

HOLY MOLY, LERNER'S HARD DRIVE EXISTS!!!

It's unbelievable, but true: all of the sudden when faced with mounting legal pressure from the courts and independent lawsuits to have Lois Lerner's hard drive examined to see if data could be recovered, the I.R.S. yesterday said it had not been recycled or destroyed as previously claimed.  But... the drive has been scratched.  

Anyone who knows anything about hard drives in computers knows they don't get scratched while in a computer; it would have to be physically removed from the computer and either taken apart and scratched or dropped onto a hard concrete floor; either act would be deliberate. 

Their tech people now say they may be able to recover her "lost" emails after all, but they have not turned the drive over to any independent experts.  This leaves the door wide open for another deliberate cover-up and obstruction of evidence.  Some emails could be deleted now, while others are not or the hard drive could be further damaged.  It should definitely not be left in the hands of the IRS.  

As for the backup tapes that may or may not still exist, there is no further news on this as of post time.  One thing is certain: someone at the IRS has something big, big, big to hide and my hunch is whaetever is being hidden goes straight to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.  

And we allow this bull to continue, so who really IS to blame? 

THOS PESKY MISSING EMAILS

Another dozen or so I.R.S. computers have crashed, losing all of their emails.  The one thing they all have in common is an association with Lois Lerner.  In the meanwhile, a top I.R.S. official, faced with mounting claims that the hard drives might be recovered, late yesterday said that backups might be available after all; he's "uncertain."  

In the normal routine of things, when backup tapes get full, they are removed and replaced with new ones.  The old ones are then put back into a "rotation" to be reused.  The official testified to the House last week that he is not certain whether or not the backup tapes being used at the time Lerner's computer "crashed" have yet been rewritten or not. 

They've probably been "misplaced" or contaminated another computer "glitch."  And here we sit, just taking it all in. 

AN OBAMACARE HORROR

At least one person has already died due to ObamaCare.  Linda Rolain from Nevada was diagnosed with operable brain cancer.  She and her husband had signed up for the Affordable Health Care Act in Nevada in November and had received the paperwork with the account numbers, etc.  But when Linda went for medical care, she was told she was not covered under ObamaCare.  

A long, drawn out drama ensued before Linda was confirmed coverage in May.  By that time, the tumor was inoperable and she died at the end of June.  Right away, the denials and finger-pointing started.  Her husband now has an attorney and based on what I understand, he should have no problem in winning a major lawsuit, which you and I will pay for. 

In the meantime, Linda is gone, gone forever.  

As I've said many times, if you think the V.A. is bad, just wait until ObamaCare kicks in. 

REGARDNG THE MALAYSIAN SHOOT-DOWN

Just weighing in this morning.  Why hasn't the administration let us know how many Americans were aboard that aircraft?  Certainly, if it's 23, that would raise the ire if all of us, demanding some firm response against Putin.  

Also, if Obama blames Putin, he's going to have some wrath over his mishandling of foreign affairs, particular regarding Russia. 

My thoughts: a possible out has already presented itself.  It was an unfortunate accident.  The Ukranian rebels intended to shoot down a cargo plane and got a passenger plane instead.  That mitigates the need for action against Putin and takes the heat off of Obama's foreign policy.  

Let's see how the day progresses.  

Well, I'll be dipped in grits!  He surprised me.  

I.R.S. & D.O.J. DOUBLETALK

The D.O.J. testified on The Hill yesterday that yes indeed, it is investigating the missing emails at the I.R.S.  Well, we're many months down the road now and the issue arises as to when they are going to question some of the parties involved in the targeting scandal.  As Deputy Attorney General James Cole told the House committee, it takes time.  

I think he meant it will take 2-1/2 more years to complete the investigation.  Coincidentally, that's when Obama leaves office.  Well, you sure don't want to rush these things if it's going to turn out that the Bog Tuna was to blame, do you? 

HORRIBLE VIRUS ATTACKING WASHINGTON COMPUTERS!!!

April Sands, a former IRS agent who worked for Lois Lerner, went to work for the Federal Elections Commission from which she resigned after being found guilty of violating the Hatch Act.  The Hatch Act prohibits political activities by government employees while on Federal time.  

One would have to assume that some type of friendship between Lerner and Sands continued; there might even be email traffic between the two.  That's why authorities decided to have a look at Sands' emails but, mysteriously, Sands' hard drive has failed, too.  Oh, and guess what?  Yep, the FEC had already trashed her hard drive.  

There seems to be a horrible computer virus to blame, and its going after each and every computer used by each and every friend or contact of Lois Lerner.  The virus transcends agency boundaries and has undoubtedly even infected quite a few computers at the White House, including Valerie Jarrett's.  

Under Nixon's Presidency, such things were impeachable offenses because they were obstructions of justice.  But under Obama's Presidency, they are simple "computer glitches."  

And we're expected to swallow this bullshit? 

RACISTS CAUSE IRANIAN TALKS TO COLLAPSE

We have all known what the answer to this issue was going to be; for years now, the Administration has been loosening the sanctions against Iran in the "promise" of "fruitful negotiations" to end Iran's relentless push toward becoming a radical Islamic state with nuclear weapons.  That inevitable answer came yesterday when, for the umpteenth time, talks collapsed.

The White House was quick to respond.... there's some "automatic clause" where they will get back together in a few months and talk again for another six months... on and on we go, round and round and no end in sight.  Anyone who thought the answer would turn out different simply doesn't understand: the "red line" disappeared in Syria; we allow I.S.I.S. to undo what we got done in Iraq; we open our borders to anyone; we have a President and a foreign policy that doe not exist.  What would be the incentive for Iran to end its nuclear program?  

You have to credit Kerry for his aplomb and audacity: he came back and announced that everything is going along "just fine" in the negotiations.  

I suppose this is all due to those nasty racists in the country who don't like the rotten job Obama is doing or what he is doing to our nation?  Maybe Harry Reid could get Judge Judy to weigh in on it.  

IS MEDIA WAKING UP?

A group of 38 media outlets fired off a letter to Obama last week highlighting a pattern of stonewalling, attempts at media manipulation and control, and restricted access – all of which, the letter accuses, amounts to “a form of censorship.”  The letter went into some details, citing specific examples of abuse of the media and the public trust. 

This has been responded to by the new Press Secretary, Whosits Whatshisface, asserting that the Obama Presidency is the most transparent in American history. 

There have been many times in recent years when I have been ashamed to call myself a journalist.  The willingness of the media and press to play the role of Presidential puppet is to blame for a vast majority of the problems we face today; had Americans been properly told the truth, had investigative journalism done its job. there would not have been a second Obama term. 

Perhaps the seeds of reality have finally been planted in the White House Press Room. 

SPREADING THE PROBLEM AROUND

So, they take some illegal children to the bus station and give them tickets to go someplace.  Forget the busloads going to detention facilities in various cities and towns... where are these individual two or three kids going?  They talk about it, but where are they going?  Is there going to be anybody at the other end of the line to meet them, or are they going onto the streets? 

It makes you sick at the stomach to think about it, doesn't it?  If they're silent about about where these kids are going, it can't be a pretty picture. 

How can you lay awake at night knowing that you elected a President who is allowing this all to happen?  How can you lay awake at night knowing there is nothing you can do about it because the Democrat controlled Senate won't let you? 

Just who IS to blame here? 

JOAN RIVERS FOR PRESIDENT?

So a reporter asked Joan Rivers: “Do you think the United States will see the first gay president or the first woman president?”  

Ms. Rivers, ever the affable comedian, popped back with: “We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down.”  She deftly followed that up with: “You know Michelle is a tranny.” 

Oh, my.  Well, at least now we know who to blame for all of the angry scowls on the left side of America. 

COSTCO DUMPS "AMERICA"

You have probably heard of Dinesh D'Souza's new movie, "AMERICA."  It's conservative to say the least and controversial.  Liberals hate it...  even Michael Moore is having severe attacks of gas. 

You have probably heard of the "hubub" uproar over the news that COSTCO unceremoniously decided to remove all copies of the book from all shelves in all stores July 1st.  When that news leaked out, there was a resulting national furor and COSTCO promptly announced it had reversed its decision and would be restocking the book as soon as new copies could be obtained from the publisher.  

While it insisted that the blanket order was not political and that it was done because the book was not selling well, it also said in the same breath that some stores had not yet complied, still had the book on hand and that some had sold out after the news story broke.  AMERICA is #1 on the Best Sellers list.  

Corporations wanting to continue in business and to make a profit would be well-advised to keep their political agendas to themselves.  You can blame me for pointing that out. 

THANK GOD FOR NEWSPAPERS

Well, the White House is now saying that Obama had absolutely no idea of what was going on at the border until he read about it in the papers.  Thank God for newspapers; if it wasn't for them, Obama would still be in the dark about the V.A. problems, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the N.S.A. spying, the I.R.S. targeting...  Can you imagine Obama sitting in the Oval Office with Hillary when the Washington Post called to tell him what was going on at Benghazi? 

Well, presuming this isn't just another lie, it appears that Obama has surrounded himself with idiots who don't recognize a problem when they see one and who keep secrets from the boss.  Or, is this whole scenario all just a charade?  Is the White House now built on a foundation of smoke and mirrors?  

The fact is that Obama did know and, as he has done countless times in his Administration, he chose to ignore the problem; he couldn't be bothered; he had his "agenda."  He now wants the Congress and the nation to believe that he is actually in charge.  In charge of what... another debacle? 

Here's the conundrum: If the newspapers are totally in the pockets of the President, and if the President doesn't know anything about anything until he reads it in the newspapers, where does the merry-go-round of idiocracy end?  

Suddenly, we can't blame Obama and we can't blame the news media.  I guess Bush simply has to be the fall guy. 

WHERE THE ALIEN KIDS GO NEXT: TOP SECRET

The Federal Government, faced with rising American resistance to the shipment of illegal children in various cities and towns across the country, have decided they will not give any advance notice that shipments are coming.  

Obviously, those who are to blame for the problem don't want to be blamed for the problem.  They must be operating on the theory that if they can unload the buses before anyone notices, then they cannot be held to blame.  

Pay no attention to the fact that the Swine Flu has been discovered in some of them and that they have all been in close quarters for days on end while the shipments are being orchestrated.  

NEW GUN CONTROL ANGLE

The left-wing establishment, ticked off that Obama has not been able to tighten own gun control in the U.S. or to eliminate gun ownership entirely, has developed a new tactic.  Grabbing onto the generally accepted theory that mass gun crimes are committed by mentally disturbed people, the leftists now want to establish laws requiring all gun purchases to be approved by doctors. 

Sounds good?  The proposal neglects to point out that doctors will be falling under ObamaCare guidelines which will open the door for the government to declare gun ownership a national mental health crisis, thereby allowing the government to seize guns to prevent runaway "epidemics." 

Personally, I think we need to own guns to protect ourselves from runaway leftist lunacy.  It could well be that their "stoking of the fire" is the root cause of mass gun shootings; who knows?  One thing for certain is that they don't want to address the real societal issues which lead to violence of any kind, from stabbings, to beatings, to aggressive driving and to shootings.  Perhaps they are afraid that, in the final analysis, the decay of our social norms should be blamed on communistic, leftist agendas. 

In short, they would be well-advised to see their own doctors... proctologists, of course. 

THIS 4TH OF JULY

ASK YOURSELF:

WHERE HAS OUR LIBERTY GONE? 

JUST WHO IS TO BLAME?

Complainng... that's all anyone is dong these days.  There are a few towns raising hell because illegal aliens and children are being "dumped" in their towns; there was one major protest in Murrieta, California Tuesday.  People are blaming the government for failing to deal with the border situation, the V.A. scandal, the I.R.S. targeting, the international situations, the release of five Talibans... on and on; people are blaming our government for everything.  

Well, we are the government.  We're the ones to blame here. Those people who are doing their jobs in the wrong way in Washington work for us; we don't work for them, we do not have to bow to them, we do not have to idly sit by and do what they order us to do. A loud march to Washington by angry Americans is long overdue.  

We say we want to take back our country, but those who have stolen the power of government from us are not going to give it back willingly.  We are probably going to have to seize that power back... the power that we let slip through our fingers.  

That's something to ponder when we fly our flags of "independence" this weekend. 

OBAMACARE DECEPTIONS CONTINUE

Although the Administration would have you think otherwise, and although the Obama-owned-and-operated press and media have been totally silent on the ObamaCare issue for weeks now, the truth puffed out like rotten-egg sulphur gas yesterday: The control of patient data on the ObamaCare system is virtually non-existent and millions of Americans are in danger because of it.

According to an internal report, the administration was unable to resolve 2.6 million so-called "inconsistencies" out of a total of 2.9 million such problems from October through December 2013. Of the roughly 330,000 cases that could be straightened out, the administration had only actually resolved about 10,000 during the period of the inspector general's audit.  

The White House spin team was in full gear by midday yesterday, asserting that ObamaCare computers are old like the ones at I.R.S. and E.P.A.  That seems to be their latest mantra: "Blame it on computer technology,"  even when ObamaCare has the newest set of computers in the government.  Those damned liars are going to be blaming things on everyone and everything else all of the way to fire and brimstone, and then they'll try to enact a law regulating the temperature while they blame global warming. 

OBAMA: DON'T BLAME ME FOR BORDER PROBLEM

Back in the beginning of this Administration, the subject of immigration reform came up.  Two key issues presented them selves: sealing the borders and giving blanket amnesty to those who had already crossed.  Obama said that after he got his blanket amnesty, then he would seal the borders.  Having been duped by this strategy once before by the Democrats, the Republicans replied they wanted the borders sealed and if the Administration agreed to do that, they were will to talk amnesty.

That's where the situation stands today, with one exception: as soon as Obama found out he wasn't going to get what he wanted, he quit enforcing all laws with respect to the border with Mexico.  He initiated a "capture and release" program which has virtually left the borders wide open.  Ask any Border Patrol Agent and they'll tell you exactly what I just said. 

Furthermore, when Arizona decided to try and resolve the problem for themselves, at least along the Arizona border, Obama sicked Holder and the Department of Justice on Arizona.  

Yesterday, Obama blamed the Republicans for the border problem and vowed that he will take steps to fix the problem without Congress.  

Our real celebration of Independence in this country will be the day he leaves office.
