RAID is not a replacement for a backup! Here's why.
I have a problem with my Terastation ( HD-H1.0TGL/R5) after trying to update the Firmware from 1.x to 2.0.
After turning on the TS the blue LED will go on indicating Gigabit ethernet, the green LED in the middle will blink constantly and the green LED for the drives will flash circling clockwise. After about a minute, the green LEDs for the drives are still circling, I am able to access the drive through the network, I am not running a DHCP server but I am able to access it on 192.168.11.150. I am able to fully access the website at this point, doing a reset or enabling shares.
After a couple of minutes, the drive LEDs were still circling up to this point, the drives will shut down, the drive LEDs will switch to solid green and the left LED of the buttom 3 will flash 6 Times red over and over. The TS is no more accessible at this point.
I tried to update the firmware again using the executables for version 2.0 and 2.16 but the updater program will not find the TeraStation and say "Terastation that needs updating wasn't found", note that I am able to ping and access the website of the TS at this point though. Also the NasNavi cannot find the TS.
I have also tried TFTP Boot Recovery TS-HTGL-R5 1.20 by changing my Computers IP to 192.168.11.1 and starting the program. It will correctly say that it is listening on 192.168.11.1 and that it is accepting requests but nothing else happens. I tried resetting the unit by pressing the red reset button on the back for over 30 seconds but nothing happens.
Because the TS is accessible for at least a couple of minutes until it shuts down and flashes the red LED I am still hoping to be able to recover the unit. So what should I do?
Thanks for your replies in advance.
Thank you for the quick answer.
I want to make clear that in all my update attempts I have been indeed on the same subnet as the terastation. And as I said I actually am able to ping the TS and even access the webinterface. But neither the Firmware Updater nor the NasNavi Program will find the TS.
I have now tried to hold down the reset button while powering it on. It seems the TS boots in some kind of special mode and it will not shutdown as it would when booting it normally. I am again able to ping and access the webinterface but the updater or nas navi are again not able to find the unit.
I am not interested in recovering the data on the unit.
I would like to know whether there is a way to reflash the firmware so that the unit is working normal again?
I tried this from a fresh installed windows 2000 and a fresh installed windows xp workstation. Both without firewall or antivirus.
There is no notification of some sort right away. I can format each drive separately without any error.
When I try to create and RAID Array I get the following error message:
"The rebuild of the RAID Array did not complete successfully.
Confirm the status of each disk, reboot TeraStation and attempt to rebuild the RAID Array again."
I do get that message both when starting the TS normal and when holding down the reset button.
I do want an raid spanning over all four drives but I also tried the other modes including Raid 1 for only drive 1+2 and drive 3+4 everytime with the same error message.
No I have not. I do not think that the Hardware is faulty. The unit was working fine until I tried to update the firmware to 2.0. The Updater Program behaved weird. Although the Gui already quit I saw that the Process was still running in the background. So again I dont think its the hardware, neither the drives nor the TS because the problem only occured the first time the TS booted with the new firmware.
I guess something went wrong during the update although the webinterface says that firmware version 2.00 is installed.
Hi. I am new to the forum, but not new to the TeraStation. I have read the thread and have a similar issue. I am wondering if there is a way to "rewind" the firmware upgrade back from 2.16 to earlier versions. Reason being, I followed the upgrade proceedure with at tech on the phone, and then when we restarted, we lost the links to all the shared drives. Because the product was out of warranty, they told me there was nothing that could be done. After spending a couple of hundred dollars and getting a quote of $3K to recover the data - it is still there - a suggestion was made to get the older firmware and re-load, set the share names back up and see if that would change anything. I was told since no format of the drice was done, the firmware update is a non-destructive process and all is as it should be on the drives themselves - i just can see them.
Hello again,
I have now re downloaded fw 2.00 and 2.16 and I tried again both updater programs but again no success. Both updater versions cannot find the Terastation although it is pingable.
So I am wondering like jhpeterson whether there is just a way to force a reflash... maybe through a USB device and a special service mode or something like that.
Also I would provide the following list of open ports detected by an nmap scan:
Port Scanning host: 192.168.11.150
Open TCP Port: 21 ftp
Open TCP Port: 80 http
Open TCP Port: 139 netbios-ssn

Open TCP Port: 548 afpovertcp
Open TCP Port: 873 rsync

Open TCP Port: 22939
Thanks again.

What if your whole life happened inside your house? In Everything, Everything, a romantic drama starring Amandla Stenberg and Jurassic World's Nick Robinson, that's reality for 18-year-old Madeline Whittier. Based on a novel by Nicola Yoon, Everything, Everything is a snapshot of life for Madeline (also called Maddy), who has severe combined immunodeficiency (ICD), a condition that makes her allergic to, well, everything. Maddy lives her whole life inside, doing her schoolwork online and entertaining herself with her mother, a doctor, and her nurse Carla. But things change when a boy named Olly moves in next door. At first, their only way of communication is through seeing each other in their respective windows, writing on signs and pantomiming. They eventually swap contact info and the two start IMing about their favorite movies, their fears, and their dreams, and Maddy starts to wonder what her future would look like if she opened her front door.
Tasked with the job of taking the film from the page to the big screen, film director Stella Meghie wasted no time in creating Madeline's world with the same imagination and excitement that Madeline herself does. Meghie had written and directed an independent feature film, Jean of the Joneses, before taking on Everything, Everything, but this film was her first studio project.
Landing a big-budget Hollywood film is an uphill battle for women, especially for women of color. A recent study of inequality in filmmaking found that women directed only 7% of the top-grossing 250 domestic film releases, a decline of 2% from the previous year. Another study tracking race and gender in Hollywood film production reported that three black women worked as directors across 800 films released between 2007 and 2015. The public outcry for more inclusion in Hollywood following the #OscarsSoWhite campaign and calls for equal pay in filmmaking may be turning the tide towards more equality behind and in front of the camera, but it's not happening fast. Stella Meghie is a bright spot among these harsh statistics, working on this film and also developing future projects for television.
Meghie wanted to tell Maddy and Olly's love story, but also wanted to showcase the complex relationships between teenagers and their parents. Teen Vogue talked to Meghie about her favorite romance movies, her path to Hollywood, and the power of young love.
Teen Vogue: What drew you to Madeline's story?
Stella Meghie: When I was reading the script, I just fell in love with Maddy falling in love with Olly. It made me feel hopeful. And then you read the book and there are so many dimensions to it: the illustrations, the text messages, and all the nuance of Nicola Yoon's tone that I felt was similar to my tone. I thought I could bring that romance, and humor, and bits of darkness together. The story itself was so complex because Maddy's falling in love with Olly but she's stuck in this house, in this complex relationship with her mother. It just felt like there were so many layers to it that I thought people could relate to, and that I could relate to in terms of dynamic between family, and romance, and just kind of push past your limit.
TV: What was interesting to you about the family element of the story?
_SM: I have a very big family. My mom has five sisters and the relationship between them and my grandmother, and all my cousins… The dynamic, to me, is so funny and deep. I love exploring those relationships, and how your family affects you and how you go out into the world. My family is very big in spirit and voice; all of them are Jamaican. So I have this wry humor that I get from them and I look at them in awe. I'm always looking for family stories that have complexity and depth to them, that I can explore and find the highs and lows.

More Than 4,000 Dead In Nepal As Earthquake Toll Rises
Nepal's devastating earthquake that hit Saturday is now blamed for at least 4,000 deaths. Reconstruction is estimated to cost billions. International aid efforts are underway, but aftershocks are rattling survivors' nerves and making the recovery even more challenging.
Update at noon ET: Death Toll Rises Above 4,000
We've updated this post with the latest figures from officials in Nepal.
Our original post continues:
Rescue crews and aid groups are working to reach survivors — but their efforts are being hampered by the stricken areas' remote locations. Roads that are drivable are clogged with traffic.
Officials warn the death toll could go much higher. The magnitude 7.8 quake has left nearly 1 million children in need of humanitarian aid, UNICEF says.
In one district, 400,000 people were affected by the quake and more than 4,000 homes are now unsafe to inhabit, NPR's Julie McCarthy reports. From Kathmandu, Julie says many residents are both angry that more wasn't done to reinforce Nepal's structures against earthquakes and afraid that further tremors might bring more destruction.
"Until these aftershocks settle down, people will be terrified of them. News of them just consumes their conversations," Julie tells Morning Edition. She adds, "People tell me they're afraid even to go back into their homes to grab a blanket."
As a result, thousands of Kathmandu residents have put up tents in open areas — and now there are new concerns, ranging from a shortage of tents to worries that the food and water supplies might last only until the end of this week, Julie says.
Many others are trying to leave the capital. Reuters reports:
"Roads leading out of the mountain valley city of one million were jammed with people, many with babies in their arms, trying to climb onto buses or hitch a ride aboard cars and trucks.
"Huge queues had formed at Kathmandu airport with people desperate to get a flight out."
The ancient temples and court buildings of the city of Bhaktapur, a World Heritage site that is just east of the capital, did not fare well, Julie says.
"Interestingly, the National Musuem of Nepal was left standing, virtually untouched. It, among many buildings that had rumbled to the ground around it — beautiful wooden structures with intricate carved doors and windows — was untouched, because it had been recently reinforced to withstand an earthquake."
The quake also triggered a massive avalanche that buried climbers at the Mount Everest base camp. Helicopter crews have been working to get climbers off the mountain. From the Nepalese capital, NPR's Kirk Siegler reports on the search and rescue effort in the Himalayas.
"Ron Nissen, 70, was in a dining tent at the Everest base camp when, he says, the mountain shook. An avalanche of ice and debris came down over him and some fellow climbers.
" 'The whole of the tent just got blown away,' he says. 'I just huddled on the ground flat as we could as the avalanche roared over the top of me.'
"Nissen walked away with just some scrapes and bruises, but he lost all his gear, money and passport. He managed to find a jacket and he says he and some Sherpas and other climbers hiked down to the nearest village — where he caught a helicopter down to Kathmandu and is looking for help from the Australian Embassy."
Two of Nepal's biggest international supporters, the World Bank Group and the Asian Development Bank, say they're ready to help the recovery effort. The ADB said Monday that it is sending $3 million for immediate aid, promising an additional $200 million to help start rehabilitation.

PBS and off-the-beaten-path superheroes lead what has to be our nerdiest What to Watch yet (give us time). Otherwise, beyond the NAACP's award show, it's a fairly light night, full of shows that seem, well, just wrong, from a show whose publicity photo features its four 70+ celebrity leads in Arabian outfits on a goofy camel to the return of one of the latest MTV reality offerings! Yay?
The Gifted [Fox, 8p]
Dr Campbell attends an anti-mutant summit and Mutant HQ comes under attack on the show's season finale.
Antiques Roadshow [PBS, 8p]
Tonight we return to Harrisburg. I say this with no irony: I can not wait to see the custom-made "Yellow Submarine" jacket made for Karen Carpenter. This is a story I must hear.
Independent Lens [PBS, 9p]
Tonight, in a fitting watch for the day of service and remembrance, the indie doc showcase airs Raoul Peck's exploration of singular author James Baldwin's life, I Am Not Your Negro, which examines racism in America, focusing on the assassinations of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X.
- Another apt way to celebrate the day would be with the evening's 49th NAACP Image Awards. As an added plus, Black-ish's Anthony Anderson is hosting again.
- So, MTV's got another reality show; coming back after a break with its eleventh episode, it's Siesta Key, where Juliette apparently has a problem. These shows caused Trump!
- Tonight's episode of Better Late Than Never (on NBC) is titled "Barcelona — If Terry's Not Naked, Who Is?" If the notion of Terry Bradshaw body shots doesn't draw you in, you're … probably normal.

Tiger gears up for Masters
One golfer is looking in ominously fine form going into the Masters at Augusta. The face that the golfer in question is Tiger Woods should make the rest of the Masters field be afraid, Very afraid.
Woods won his first PGA tournament in 30 months when he secured the Arnold Palmer Invitational, comfortably beating the British golfers Graeme McDowell and Ian Poulter. The win takes him up to sixth place in the rankings after dropping out of the top 50 last year.
Woods hasn't won a major since 2008, and is chasing his 15th at Augusta. "I am excited, there's no doubt," he said. "It's always fun to get there and play and I'm looking forward to the momentum I've built up here. I still need some work, and it's going to be good to get a week off and work on a few things."
Woods feels his game is sound, with no major changes required. "Each day there was a little bit of fine-tuning here and there, and we were able to make those adjustments, which was good. It's been a lot of hard work and I'm so thankful for a lot of people helping me out along the way. They all know who they are."
That was probably a passing reference to the physios and medical team that got Woods back into shape. There had been fears that he would miss the Masters because of an achilles tendon strain in his left ankle. Instead he goes to Augusta in his best shape for years.

Last week, I launched a new website.
At the start of 2014, this project was at the top of our team's priority list. My website makes a critical first impression, and I was hungry for an upgrade that more accurately represented how my business and product have evolved.
It was a fun project filled with valuable lessons. The lessons I learned are relevant for any small business owner who's evolving a brand or considering an online upgrade. Is there any small business owner who isn't in 2014?
Bicycle Theory, the partner we selected to lead the project, shared some good perspective from the agency side on their blog. Now that the site is live, here are a few key lessons I learned:
Do your homework.
I immersed myself in speaking and learning websites. I studied the web presence of every top business keynote speaker. And I didn't stop there. I think it's smart to look outside your category for innovation. For us, that meant evaluating other category-leading personal brands. I studied how touring musicians, celebrity chefs and athletes branded themselves online. The more informed you are at the onset of a project, the better your outcome will be.
Listen to your customers and partners.
My business has grown a lot in the past five years. Now, I have a huge advantage: access to customer insight. I started my research by asking a lot of questions: Why did they hire me? How would they describe my brand? What was their experience like on my website? What was missing? How do they use a website when making a decision? What are the must-have features? What features are annoying?
The input shaped my approach to redesigning the website.
Be patient when you hire vendors.
I've lived through some less than stellar partnering choices. Those bad choices usually happened when I rushed a decision and didn't do enough due diligence. This time around, I vowed to be more patient.
My team did our own analysis, comparing several different design shops. We talked to vendors' current clients. We considered how vendors treated us as a prospect. Moving through a sales cycle as a prospect is a good way to learn about a business and ultimately determine if you align and will work well together. One red flag for me is responsiveness. If it takes a vendor three days to return an initial phone call or e-mail, it's game over.
In the end, doing more due diligence was definitely worth the investment of time. Instead of making transactional deals to get the work done, I found vendors who are invested in becoming long-term strategic partners, helping guide my business beyond just one project.
Partner with people who will challenge your thinking.
For me, it's important to surround myself with people who can challenge my thinking and contribute new ideas. It's easy to find people who can take direction and execute on a project. But, for this website and on future, related projects, I wanted partners who could listen, learn, research and contribute valuable thinking.
My goal is to work with subject matter experts. I want my partners to understand that if you work in marketing, you aren't in the service business. Marketing author Tim Williams puts it well: "Service is a commodity. Smart thinking is not. Clients can get good service almost anywhere, but proactive marketing leadership is in short supply. The agencies that understand this invest in better people who can produce a better product. Remember, smart clients don't only hire you for what you do; they hire you for what you know."
Cross the finish line.
A project like this never ends. In fact, we're working on upgrades to the new website right now! However, there comes a point when you have to ship. I had to recognize that the much-improved website was good enough to launch even though it certainly wasn't perfect. Perfectionism can perpetually delay completing a project. It's better to move the project into the world, and learn and iterate as you go. A website isn't static (or it certainly shouldn't be in 2014) and the good news about going live is that I can continue to get more real-time feedback to keep making it better.
My advice for small business owners: The internet is the ultimate leveling of the playing field. It gives you the opportunity to access the marketplace and compete with anyone on the strength of your brand, ideas, reputation and relationships. I don't have a customer that didn't evaluate me online before signing the contract. That is a game changer and means, for me, that my website is one of the most important investments I can make.

Effective August 10, the login page used to login to SUNY services such as time and attendance and finance and budgeting will receive a new look. Previously the page looked like the following:
Starting Friday, May 15th at 4:30 p.m., users of Google Chrome will be able to use Laker Apps powered by Google without having to be online. This new "Offline mode" will enable people complete many tasks even while they do not have an active connection to the Internet. These abilities include:
CTS is happy to announce an online system that will allow you to interact with the Help Desk from your web browser. The system is called "Self Service" and is available from a link with the same name on the www.oswego.edu/help website.
Log into Self Service with your Laker NetID and you'll see a page that looks like the following:
Previously, Internet Explorer (IE) was the default browser in labs and classrooms. However, with the increasing security vulnerabilities in IE, especially the one affecting IE versions 6-11 late last spring, we decided it would be a good time to re-evaluate the default browser.
In partnership with Public Affairs, CTS would like to announce the availability of the "LabStats" module in the SUNY Oswego mobile app. You can find it in the bottom row of the app.
Recently, CTS finished preparing a new version of Firefox for campus use. We will be upgrading Firefox to version 26. This upgrade will be pushed out remotely to all campus PC machines starting at 8:30AM on January 2nd, 2014. Note that when upgrading, all of your bookmarks (favorites) will be saved.
Look for some login changes coming to myOswego and its associated applications in the next few weeks.
On May 17, the Elluminate Live online synchronous collaboration tool was upgraded to Blackboard Collaborate. Blackboard purchased the company along with a competing product called Wimba in 2010. Blackboard used the best of both products to create Collaborate and is their future direction for online conferencing.
SUNY Oswego has an official SUNY Oswego Mobile App. Users of iPhone and Android devices can do a search for "SUNY Oswego Mobile" to download it. You'll then have access to dining hall menus, the library databases and catalog, athletic game schedules and articles, campus news and events, campus maps and campus directory.
If you have not already received prompts to preview the new compose and reply experiences in LakerApps Gmail, you can expect to soon. Google is allowing users to preview the new experiences prior to rolling them out as permanent features.

Who Should Govern, POTUS or Judicial Activists?Opinion May 28, 2019
Who Should Govern, POTUS or Judicial Activists?
America is returning, kicking and screaming all the way, to the old original ideas of American Constitutionalism. Progressives, having been so successful for so long in altering the American mind and reducing American culture and moral standards to the levels of dysfunction, that they have come to assume that governing is their divine right because they're good at it, and should never be challenged. Well, it's being challenged! We voted for Trump, not a Federal Judge.
In their diligence to achieve for America the Utopian goal of a Marxist society, like the one that worked so well for Russia, they've left no stone unturned to protect their flakes by placing Marxist thinking judges on Federal benches where their political mischief could halt any turn of the law inimical to the Left's goals of mongrelizing America.
This week, in a frenzy of crazed decision making, a Federal Judge in the Socialist State of California, blocked Trumps order to use DoD funds to fund the wall. This judges draws on the "Separation of Powers" as the anchor for his decision. He wrote: "The position that when Congress declines the Executive's request to appropriate funds, the Executive nonetheless may simply find a way to spend those funds 'without Congress' does not square with fundamental separation of powers principles dating back to the earliest days of our Republic," What I take from this is that It's more important to find specific Congressional funding than to protect America. Federal Judge Haywood Gilliam of the Northern District of California was an Obama appointee. What would happen if the President should stop funding this judges court?
In February, Trump declared a national emergency. The goal was to obtain funding for the border wall since Congress was unwilling to protect America's borders. If Trumps order was simply an arbitrary one, I might agree with the Judge but, America is being invaded by unskilled peasants, drugs, disease and criminal gangs so, I don't agree with the Judge. His ruling stood against Border Security, in favor of crime, drugs and human trafficking.
Judge Gilliam also opined: that ""Congress's "absolute" control over federal expenditures—even when that control may frustrate the desires of the Executive Branch regarding initiatives it views as important—is not a bug in our constitutional system." Other Federal Judges, as we know, have stymied other of Trumps initiatives, even his trying to stop illegal ones that never made it into law, like Obama's illegal "DACA" program.
How the progressives have been changing America, like the DACA thing, among others, is to appeal to our personal feelings, featuring heartbreaking and woebegone tales of manufactured anguish that alter our attitudes to rebel against heartless laws made by dead old white men. If we continue in this mode, America is doomed to socialism.
Remember, in his empathetic appeal to "Dreamers", Obama said we had to let 'em stay because, "It's who we are!" That's a shame because it's not who we are, it's who they've conditioned us to be. We do have laws that are simply being brushed aside because these hoards of poor downtrodden useless peasants swarming our southern borders "just want to enjoy the American Dream." Well, the American dream doesn't include welfare, free housing over unhoused Americans, free education for their children or free healthcare you and I have had to pay for out of our monthly salaries all of our lives. I'm getting sick and tired of this Socialist BS and the Federal Judges who promulgate it. Lets have an expedited appeal!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go fight 'em!
Just Cut it OutOpinion April 22, 2019
"Just Cut it Out"
I was flabbergasted when I read a comment, by a CNN reporter of all people, who wrote: "the Mueller report looks bad for Obama." It was an opposing opinion (Op-Ed) by Scott Jennings, who I presume may soon be looking for a new situation.
The reason he said it is not because it was a revealed secret or a passed over comment found in some obscure document, but because it stemmed from a comment that fell from the lips of former President Obama himself, that seals the deal. When Obama learned the Russian's were really hacking or trying to hack into American internet systems, and was asked about it in a public news conference, passed the issue off by acknowledging he knew about it and told Russia's Premier Putin: "to just cut it out." And that was the end of that, until the Mueller Report came out this week concluding an investigation that began in 2014.
That so called investigation of 2014 was, in fact, the first action pre-emptive assault to protect Obama's legacy from Republican attacks, like a "frogmen" sneaking up on a beach before an attack to lay traps and collect information. Mueller's appointment, after Trump became President, was akin to the noisy beach landings of a full force attack on the enemy. As it turns out the enemy is us, or at least those designated to protect us, the FBI, DoJ, DCI and the IRS.
This all happened on Obama's watch. He cannot deny it and the press won't report it, but Scott Jennings did and he pulled the scab off the wound. If Hillary had won, It wouldn't have made any difference, but she didn't, and now it's the SHTF moment and it's fun watching the rats scurrying for cover. DC is the place now for a good lawyer to sharpen his spurs. $$$$!
Apart from the Mueller Report exonerating our President from accusations of colluding with the Russians and interfering with a criminal investigation (obstructing justice), just what have we learned? Well, Obama's incompetence as a President for a start. His inept posture toward Russia's Putin, driven by his criminal behavior in his nuclear negotiations with Iran, even to bribing them with billions in ransom money under the guise of repayment of their own impressed funds, a deal that was a singularly disastrous foreign policy act which President Trump recognized immediately as inimical to the best interests of America and ended. So was Obama's Arab Spring nonsense, his Libyan disaster, his Fast & Furious debacle and Obamacare, among others.
People are going to prison. Bet on it! In their earnest efforts to find, or create a crime which they could hang on Trump to impeach him, the FBI and the DoJ exposed themselves to be as equally inept as criminals as Obama was a president. Their very acts over two years doubtless must fall within the definition of a "conspiracy to commit treason." Who can deny it, yet, the feckless Democrats, as all villains are want to do when they lose, attack the messenger.
AG, Bill Barr didn't investigate Trump or his campaign, Mueller did! FBI Dir. Comey, conspiring with his henchmen, McCabe, Strzok, Lynch, Page, Brennen, Clapper, & et.al., launched the coup attack against Trump as a full fledged assault to disallow the vote of the American people. That was criminal. Even at this very minute Democrat dumbass, Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, continues to insist that Trump colluded with the enemy and he had proof. Where is it and what was this whole exercise really about, anyway? There is no proof. It was an exercise in hiding Obama's incompetence and his administration's failures. So, to you Democrats, I say: "just cut it out!"
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
Here Comes Joe, Another Egg in the CartonOpinion May 1, 2019
Here Comes Joe, Another Egg in the Carton
Good ol' "uncle Joe," I mean the humble, creepy Joe Biden, the touchy-feely, hair smelling, gaff ridden Joe, not the blood stained uncle Joseph Stalin. Our Joe, cunningly exposed his great weakness (dumb) as a Democrat running for president with his early Thursday morning video announcing his intent to throw his hat in the ring and he did it as an all-in Progressive.
Attacking Trump again as a Nazi supporter for comments on the Charlottesville business, Biden talks about losing our "core values" because of Trump. Whose core values does he mean? the values of the Progressive Left he participated in, and that Trump is shredding? That's why we voted for Trump. In a word, Joe went all-in as a socialist, repeating lies, slurs and innuendos against Trump in an attempt to capture back their fleeing black vote and the socialist trained voters of the millennial age who are pushing their politics, and politicians, to the far Left.
What about Joe? Anybody who parts their hair in a circle to hide their plugs must have a far different view of the big picture than do the Americans who voted for Trump. Biden has to appeal to today's youth, blacks, illegals, the weird and strange like the youthful, 'gay' politician who speaks clearly and succulently, or the faux Mexican, Beto O'Rouke, who doesn't? What will Joe do? Will he 'come out' as a 'swisher,' or will he announce he loves tacos and beans more?
Joe Biden is probably the last living remnant of the old Democrat Party of Scoop Jackson and JFK. He must recall the political tussles between the parties then, but were still dedicated to Americas greatness, not the other guy's destruction. Joe can't have been blind to the absorption of the Democrat party by Marxism during the intervening years. If he was, then he's certifiably ignorant and has no business being a president of anything. But, Joe saw his resurrection and a chance for fame and glory by teaming up with Obama as Vice-President.
What other shadows might be lurking in Joe's background? Former short-time Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort is in prison for dealing with the Ukrainians as an unregistered agent of a foreign country. Well, Joe did it too, on his sons behalf, for a multi-million dollar oil deal. Did Joe and his son registered as agents of a foreign country, or does being Vice-President, like being Secretary of State, immunize them from applicable laws? Will they be investigated?
Joe's in the news right now but don't bet on him staying there. Or that other silly old white guy whose hair stands straight up, Bernie Sanders, either. The applicable term is "two old white guys." If the Democrat party wasn't so radical, and still retained some measure of Americanism and not Socialism their syllabus, one or the other of them might stand a chance. But, even together they can't pull it off. Imagine, Biden and Bernie, what a combination of incompetence.
In the long campaign ahead, here's where the Socialist Democrat party want go. They want a woman. best of all, a women of color. That leaves corrupted Senator and former Attorney General of the Socialist State of California, Kamala Harris. But wait, we have another American woman of African descent rising on the horizon, Stacy Abrahams and, if she can't cut it, and she won't, there only remains the "one, who they really want, Michell Obama who will be ushered in to raucous cheers of desperate nimrods at convention time as the salvation of an inclusive Socialist America. The logical choice, don't you think?
Remember this, no matter what Democrat might win, their government will be filled with functionaries of Obama's deep state, acolytes willing to make America Socialist.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
The New Face of Washington PoliticsOpinion January 16, 2019
The New Face of Washington Politics
Trump has irrevocably changed the face of political leadership. Immediately after his shocking 'Blitzkrieg" against Obama's economic stifling legacy, the Deep State went into panicked disarray. Recovering, in their clumsy attempts to restore balance to the political field and retain their political gains, they inadvertently exposed the treacherous techniques employed by the Democrats to destroy their opponents. But, this is no secret. One need look no further than Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals to learn how they do it.
Remember when Harry Reid announced on the Senate floor that sources told him that Mitt Romney hadn't paid any income taxes? Reid was not challenged to prove it. It wasn't until after Romney lost that Reid, when challenged, simply dismissed the notion by saying "well, it worked. We won didn't we?" Admit nothing, deny everything and blame somebody else.
The newest evidence of successful Democrat shenanigans against a Conservative candidate now being exposed, is in Judge Roy Moore's loss to the Democrat, Jones, in Alabama's senatorial election to replace Jeff Sessions. Internet savvy Progressives tried the Russians social media attacks they used in our last presidential election, i.e.: face book and Twitter to launched their own false flag attacks to discredit Roy Moore. It worked!
The newest Progressive darling on the political scene, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, is revealing herself to be the most incompetent and uninformed person in the 116th Congress. She has publicly stated that it's okay to lie so long as what she 'feels' needs to get done, get's done.
She's good for Republicans. As long as she can grab a microphone and enlighten us with her anti-American political bias's, we should be safe. By her own words she reveals herself as a complete dingbat, but, let's not stop her.
For example, her "Fair Share" tax hike idea on the wealthiest 1% of Americans, solely to support her "Green New Deal" is being politely entertained by the media while the propaganda value she thought it had is obvious to all. Socialism has never worked, never will work and, an economic major who doesn't understand economics will be the gift that keeps on giving. Whether Nancy Pelosi likes it or not, AOC has become the new face of the DNC.
The DNC has been creeping to the left for decades. The shift has been so slow and methodical that their real intentions have camouflaged. Trumps election has forced us to face the reality of our near extinction. In the preceding decades the Democratic Party has been slowly eliminating our freedoms and our liberty and we haven't even noticed. Remember the frog in a cold pot of water metaphor? AOC, as a new Representative, has immediately turned the heat up to a boil and the Democrat establishment is now forced into damage control. That's the new face of the Democrat party, one run by progressive lunatics.
New House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, Eliot Engel, plans to dissolve the House subcommittee on terrorism and focus instead solely on investigating Donald Trump. The Trump Derangement Syndrome is now in full swing and Nancy can do little to slow its effects. Time and treasure will be wasted, nothing will be accomplished and the Wall will be built in one form or another. They can't stop that either because they're dealing with a real leader, not some 'milquetoast wannabe politician turned President.
The real danger to America, apart from Islam, is the Democrat Party. It will not be compromised with if they have to move one inch backward. They will give nothing to the President because their growing Progressive base would violently abandon them. Compromise will not happen so long as one party holds a knife behind their back. Conservatives should be very wary of reaching across the aisle. It's as dangerous as a walk in Chicago's south-side.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
Who's Really Obstructing Justice?Opinion January 15, 2019
Who's Really Obstructing Justice?
With the Democrats now in complete control only of the House, they'll use it as a child would a sandbox, a place to play with their toys, scatter sand in others children eyes and run off and pout if things don't go their way. The frustration of their inaction will mount, because everything anti-Trump that comes out of their legislative sandbox or supports progressivism in any way, will simply die a natural death on Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell's desk.
But, not to worry. Apart from two years of dysfunctional Democrat legislative nonsense, it will also be two years of orgasmic democratic presidential pandering by the old guard, and the new far left Socialists, both sides aimed at defeating Americas most remarkably successful President since Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump. Figure some Republicans to join in in this scenario too.
They all hate him. He ruined all their plans; he defeated their champion, queen Hillary, exposing the depth of Deep State corruption. He revealed the multiple high crimes and misdemeanors on the Democrats part and, he immediately set about destroying Obama's legacy of leading from the rear by reversing Americas economic decline by over regulation, by restoring Americas damaged foreign policy, and by halting the transition of socialism into American culture.
Nancy Pelosi, whose grasp of her party's leadership, as tenuous as her scattered thought process, is fixated on destroying Trump but she has lost control of her machine. The newly minted Democrat-Socialist congresspersons however, want Progressive legislation first, i.e.: all that free stuff, and they will be pulling her to the far left to comply, or pushing her out.
Among Nancy's mental aberrations is her fixation on Trumps impeachment and the only tool she can possibly use now, is that silly Russian collusion business, glorified by the long suffering Mueller Investigation, already discredited as an unproven pack of manufactured lies.
That brings me to ask this question. Who is really "Obstructing Justice?" Is it Trump? I don't think so. It's the Deep State machine coiling up like a rattlesnake to defend itself from the inevitable, that is obstructing justice. With a corrupted DoJ, FBI and IRS in charge of the legal system, we then know that the true obstruction of justice is assured. Americans see that!
Anyway, that's what Pelosi and Schumer will continually raise every time any hint of a threat to end the Mueller witch hunt is raised. Their constant rallying cry will be "obstruction of justice" endlessly repeated by their MSM propaganda mouth pieces. Does anyone watch 'em anymore?
For Democrats it may be too late. The cat's out o the bag. Pelosi and Schumer are not dealing with our standard run-of-the-mill weak-willed politician turned President. Remaining President is Trumps primary goal because he sees, as clearly as through a windex clean window, the dangers to the America he loves. Also, he implicitly understands that his base loves America too and hired him to do exactly what he is doing, dismantling the Deep State. They will suffer no commie-socialist politician(s) or leftist fake news organizations, to take him down.
Americas defense, its national security and foreign policies, were left in tatters by the corrupt politicians of the Progressive Left especially H. Clinton in Obama's first four years and the dunce, John Kerry, as Secty of State, in the last four. Losing to Trump was not a good plan. It wasn't expected, it wasn't prepared for and, like children drowning in a sand box, their reaction to it was predictable, even these two long years later. TDS lives on!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em!
Who Controls the Press Corps?Opinion November 9, 2018
Clearly, daily White House press corps gatherings are losing their allure and their effectiveness.
Thrill seekers disguised as reporters or worse, journalists, primarily of the Liberal-Progressive
bent, are intent on making themselves the news by challenging the press secretary's every
comment including her weight, size, candor and/or her intelligence, not to mention the President
himself, not by asking questions pertinent to current issues but by taking irresolute stands
contrary to the facts and demanding answers even when told to sit down and shut up. Their
obnoxiousness is mind numbing and the whole business should be abandoned.
The White House controls the news briefings not Jim Acosta or the other Liberal creatures
dedicated to the Presidents destruction. These people are functionally illiterate, solely dedicated
to challenging the administration at any and every level of the daily news cycle, intent only on
becoming famous themselves.
Perhaps this daily event should no longer be televised, just audio recorded. Perhaps a bulletin
board could be erected on the street where daily items of interest can be posted by a WH press
staffer. Many even a chap with a bell, at noon, crying "hear ye, hear ye," I don't know, but this
crazed media frenzy has gotten out of hand and needs to be returned to civility or abandoned.
So, what is the news? Thousands of immigrants in a caravan, declaring their intentions to seek
amnesty in America, do constitute an invasion. The Liberal press spends their face time on such
trivial matters challenging the president directly as to his definition of what's an invasion. I know
what one looks like, don't you? While America faces challenges from winning Democrats,
determined to make America Socialist, the silence that falls from the normally boastful democrat
side is ignored. What do they know that we don't? Something big is going on out there and it's
being ignored for who defines what constitutes illegal immigrants.
These WH press people, in the face of more news of mass shootings by one deranged person,
will challenge gun laws as ineffective while ignoring the deranged person. They don't want a
solution, they want an issue to thrash the president with and gun laws don't do it anymore.
Other interesting happenings all but ignored by the WH press corps was AG Jeff Sessions
departure, his temporary replacement, who is to be the new US Ambassador to the UN, who's
the new WH lawyer? what's the view on the potential inditement's soon to flow against the multi-
level layers of Obama's hangers-on still in government who have, and still are, actively engaged
against the government?
The post-election news cycle revealed, but isn't discussed, the fact that every candidate
Trump stumped for won their election because the candidate threw in with a successful
president; and every candidate Obama stumped for, lost. Everyone! That should be newsworthy
. It might explain why the Democrats aren't boasting as they usually do.
Speaking of which, Nancy Pelosi faces imminent danger. First, she entering a realm of extreme
dementia as her performance at press conferences demonstrate. Coherent thought, recall of
people, places and things turn into babble and she faces a hostile democrat cacuse of young
leftists determined to replace her before she sinks the little hope remaining for survival the
Democrats achieved in their retaking the house. The 2020 presidential re-election campaign has
commenced. The media failed in bringing Trump down in his first two years. What's next"
Stayed tuned. Remember, freedom is the goal the constitution is the way. Go, get 'em (8Nov18)
The Great Awakening, You Can Look It Up!Opinion October 29, 2018
Trump has moved America so far beyond Obama's era of compliancy, apathy, and despair that
Obama has personally taken to the stump to stem the Red tide. We're in a new "great
awakening "of what it means to be a prosperous, industrious, hard working nation of achievers.
That will not do for Socialists or advocates of the New World Order.
There's more news today about Obama hitting the campaign trail to save his pathetic legacy,
than there is about the bomber from Miami, the caravan from Honduras or the mental
breakdown many of MSNBC and CNN's entertainers are suffering on camera.
Obama is making fiery teleprompter speeches to dozens of admirers to try to stem the Red Tide
that could signal the final demise of the Democrat Party. Obama himself put the party's
existence into jeopardy when as president, he all but ignored the party entirely, indeed helped
Hillary drain its coffers while local and state Democratic losses started mounting.
For Obama, Marxism is his catechism, weakness and ineptitude is his policy and arrogance is
his worst enemy, i.e.: "I think that I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more
about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I'll tell you right now that I'm
gonna think I'm a better political director than my political director."
At midwest speaking venues in Milwaukee and Detroit, Obama claimed Trump and Republicans
were just "making stuff up." Without mentioning Trump by name he said this midterm election
(2018) was about the "character of our country." Obama cited a recent Trump comment that he,
(Trump) would pass a tax cut (a second one) before the November election then told the crowds
that "Congress isn't even in session before the election! He just makes it up!" Look it up!
Obama then told a truth: "Here's the thing. Everything I say you can look up." Yes, Barak, we
can: "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can
keep your health care plan." Then Obama sets about describing himself: "What we have not
seen before in our public life is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly, lying.
Just making stuff up, calling up, down. Calling black, white. That's what your governor (Walker)
is doing with these ads, just making stuff up." Look it up!
Now Obama wants to claim the rocketing economy as his. After the 2016 election, Bloomberg
reported that: "Trump was inheriting a stable and improving economy compared to the economy
that Obama inherited." It is from this assertion that Obama now claims: "When you hear all this
talk about economic miracles right now, remember who started it," but what Bloomberg failed to
mention was that "the standards and statistics by which they measured economic improvement,
were entirely fraudulent. You can look that up too!
Clinton and her private email server featured in an Obama comment. He said: "Trump used
Hillary's 'server' crimes to try to scare the heck out of people before every election." He even
trash talked about Trump's cellphone usage saying the Chinese heard everything he said.
Obama: "In the last election, it was Hillary's emails. He quoted Trump: 'This is terrible' … 'This is
a national security crisis.' Obama: They didn't care about emails and you know how you know?
Because if they did, they'd be up in arms right now that the Chinese are listening to the
president's iPhone that he leaves in his golf cart." What?
Listening to Obama stammer and stumble his way through a Castro like speech event is painful
as well as boring, especially as his facts, comments, and opinions won't stand the muster of
examination. By the way, forget snopes.com. It's a progressive site that obscures the truth.
Obama intimated that Trump's concerns about a caravan, especially as the thousands of, well,
how did Obama phrase it?: "a bunch of impoverished, malnourished refugees a thousand miles
away," are headed here from Honduras, were more important than "health care, whether or not
folks are able to retire, doing something about higher wages, rebuilding our roads and bridges
and putting people back to work." Say what? Have you looked closely at the photos of those
overfed, clean, prosperous Honduran travelers out on their walk-about?" I think Obama went
into his very short Rip Van Winkle routine on jobs, the economy, and retirement. Barak, you can
look that up as well, it's in nearly all the papers.
I think Barak worries that he himself could face inditement for involvement in crimes associated
with his former Secretary of State because he rails on about not having anyone in his
administration indited for crimes. Well, that's for sure when his Attorney Generals were Eric
Holder and Loretta Lynch, both facing probable inditement themselves. Obama: "In Washington
they (Trump's Administration) have racked up enough indictments to field a football team.
Nobody in my administration got indicted." Don't believe for a minute that Hillary Clinton or her
corrupt Foundation has escaped the scrutiny of Trump's DoJ.
Obama told his admiring minions: "I'm hopeful that despite all the noise, despite all the lies,
we're going to come through all that. We're going to remember who we are, who we're called to
be. I'm hopeful because out of this political darkness, I'm seeing a great awakening." Yes
indeed, for sure he is seeing a Great Awakening but, it's not a Socialist one.
So, hang in there conservatives, be strong, be steadfast in the face of the Left's confrontational,
deranged screaming idiots and vote Republican.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (17Oct18)
Another Reason I Despise Democrats – They Don't Like GunsOpinion October 3, 2018
Schumer: "If you believe Dr. Ford, then Kavanaugh is Guilty!" "This man does not belong on the
Supreme Court," I heard no such remarks from any Democrat about Bill Clinton's victims or that
he should remain President. Soviet show trials started that way. An accusation made was proof
enough of guilt. Stalin made the accusation and to save time the accused went straight to the
firing squad. That's what Democrats want. That's a reason why I despise Democrats.
We have fallen victim to overuse of the term "Double Standard" that our betters, Hillary Clinton,
Loretta Lynch, Obama, Dianne Feinstein, et. al.., are not responsible for their crimes because
"they meant well" or "didn't intend to." We've heard "Double Standards" so often and seen it in
action that even talking about it deadens our senses because while we know it's true we also
see that nothing is ever done about it. Case in point, the Kavanaugh show trial.
Democrats are fixated on their end goal, the Socialization of America. That plan includes
population control but, instead of pogoms and mass starvation of the middle class (kulaks) like
the Soviet Bolsheviks did, Democrats are content to allow the death camps of Planned
Parenthood to murder vast numbers of little citizens for them.
I had long entertained the idea that the Democrats, shocked beyond belief when Trump
defeated Hillary in 2016, remained in their continued meltdown because of Trump Derangement
Syndrome. Then it occurred to me that the vehemence of this dastardly attack against Judge
Kavanaugh went far beyond merely trying to thwart Trump's destruction of the Deep State, but
because Kavanaugh himself portends a singular threat to their plans to overcome America.
It all falls to Kavanaugh's dissenting decision as a Judge on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals,
against the Washington DC council's rules imposing firearms restrictions on the citizens of
Wash. DC. The issue passed and in its appeal to the Supreme Court, it was Judge Kavanaugh's
written dissent, almost in its entirety, that the Supreme Court used in striking down the DC
restrictions as unconstitutional, ergo, Kavanaugh remains a clear and present danger to the
safe establishment of a Socialist Soviet style state. Democrats are absolutely despicable.
Our elite leaders, who firmly believe they serve as our betters, especially the despicable
Democrats, actually despise us. They hate us beyond imagination because enough of us won't
swallow the crap they've been shoveling out to move their plans forward. They want to remain
the "Elites" with all the perks that come with it and as long as Americans remain armed and
ready to defend themselves, their plans to disarm and socialize Americans cannot proceed.
Squatting in the political shadows pretending they too can be counted among the ranks of our
betters are several really stupid congressmen and women. They identify themselves every time
they open their mouths but, to avoid confusion they are Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Watters, Shirley
Jackson Lee, Hank Johnson and others. They make all Democrats look despicable.
It's sad for the nation but I suspect from now on it will take people with supreme grace, strength
of will, stern resolve and rhinoceros hides to even consider wanting to stand for high public
office. Trump is certainly one and now so too is Judge Kavanaugh. The stable of Republican
contenders suffers a paucity of likely candidates and many know it. That's why losers like John
Kasich and even Jeff Flake entertain the notion they can run for president in 2020 and defeat
Tumps. These are really stupid people too!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (02Oct18)
Collapse or Political Theatrics?Opinion September 17, 2018
The skinny figure of Obama racing onto the American political stage in a fruitless attempt to
claim credit for Trump's economic success is one visible symptom of the inevitable collapse of
the Democratic party. Or is it? The theatrics of politics is often funny, sometimes hypocritical and
ofttimes dangerous, the players not skilled as thespians, but earnestly deadly.
Other symptoms are all around us. The uncivil behavior of Democrat Senators Cory Booker and
Kamala Harris, both hopefuls for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, disrupting the
Kavanaugh hearings even before they got started; the scheming plan by Chuckie Schumer to fill
the senate judicial hearing chamber with protestors, one of which was later photographed
outside receiving a cash payment from a radical leftist organizer; the absolutely asinine, last
minute revelation of an anonymous letter breathlessly alleging a sexual assault by Judge
Kavanaugh in his high school years. Where did that aging blowhard, California Senator Diane
Feinstein, come up with something that? Desperation, that's where!
Former senator, failed Secretary of State and Ketchup heir, John Kerry (who has three purple
hearts from paper cuts he received in Vietnam), is actively undermining US policy on Iran by
illegally running off to advise the Iranians on how to out-wait Trumps presidency. He admits it.
Can he be charged with treason? These are only a few of the derangement symptoms currently
on display by radical leftist democrats.
Of course Feinstein, in all her pious seriousness immediately forwarded the anonymous
missive, like any good citizen would, to the FBI where, presumably it was received by them with
the contempt it so richly deserved, "Oh hum" and a quick trip to the round file.
Mr. John Kerry, has been upbraided by President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,
for activities "unseemly and unprecedented" meaning treasonous, and Kerry's fall back position
is to tell the President to read his book, Every Day is Extra. Knowing Kerry's long known far left
radical sympathies, it isn't difficult to assume his book is but a conflated list of excuses for his
socialist leaning diplomatic failures. Remember, like Obama, John Kerry too has a legacy to
Will the Democrats penchant to continually grasp for symbols of their heroism, never end? Why
does Cory Booker believe he had an "I am Spartacus" moment? Why did the leftist media claim
Obama's return to the political stage was as "the Return of the Jedi?" These are serious
And of course the biggest piece of democrat theatrics ever conceived, the Mueller Investigation
of Donald Trumps (alleged) collusion with those scheming Russians, continues apace in the
medias efforts to throw off the collusion by Hillary Clinton onto the shoulders of Donald Trump.
Nearly two years have passed and the only true and actual collusion found was committed by
the Democrats, especially the yet un-indited criminal Hillary Clinton. The evidence, not symbols,
of her criminality and treason are no longer so opaque they can't be dealt with almost
immediately after the DoJ is finally purged of it's Orwellian Obama obstructionists.
The raft of Leftist millennials, especially females, running for congress, seem to be out of touch
but, that's because they are but youthful amateurs not skilled in the art of dissemblege, yet! When
they do, we had better be prepared for 'em because they won't be acting. Remember, freedom
is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (15Sept18)
No Apologies, SirOpinion August 29, 2018
Dear President Trump. Most of us, your base, absolutely understand that former Sen. John
McCain didn't like you personally or your presidency either for that matter and often worked
hand in hand with Democrats, to thwart your initiatives to drain the swamp.
Consequently, we are not distressed that your tepid demonstration of respect on the occasion of
his death, even with the screaming media challenging your personal ethics on the matter, was
limited to perfunctory homilies about his years of public service or the flag issue. We got that!
McCain had his own baggage to carry and most of us know about that too.
So, we entreat you not to lose sight of what's really going on here, another excuse for the Left
wing-nuts of the media to attack you on points of minutia to stop you before you finish your
important task of draining the swamp. That's what it's all about and nothing more.
John McCain has his place in history, militarily, politically and family and except for his
unfortunate individual experiences as a POW, and his painful method of death, he is basically
no different than anyone else who served in uniform, or out, and left a record of that service.
Sen McCain's best friend in the Senate, his cohort in progressivism disguised as compassionate
conservatism, was Ted Kennedy, arguably the most dangerous politician this side of the
Clintons, to wield power in America. He too was called home with the same malady that claimed
Sen McCain. So are many others.
Kennedy proudly carried the label the "Lion of the Senate!" But who remembers him any more
except for the bridge he didn't cross? John McCain loved the moniker "the Maverick," and all
we'll remember of him is that he was a naval aviator shot down over Vietnam and became a
POW. Some other former POW's of that conflict have a different opinion of McCain's heroism in
captivity. We don't know because most of us weren't there. We only know what has been sifted
through the organs of the Main Stream Media and regurgitated out to us for our benefit.
Sen. McCain, the once darling of the press, ran as a Republican for President. As a "Maverick,"
the press loved him and doted on his every utterance, until his Democratic presidential
opponent, a talentless half-black "community organizer" with no special accomplishments and
no traceable history, was raised up out of the primal mud of the Chicago political swamp,
financed by Soros and supported by a convicted terrorist bomber, now a college professor.
Like Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor, Barak Hussein Obama, with the enthusiastic guidance of
the Orc's of the Left-wing media, the socialist dominated Democrat party, Unions, and the
propaganda of Liberal university professors, started to fundamentally reorganize America in
Sauron's image, to create a dark forbidding place, like Cuba and Venezuela for us to abide in.
Where was John McCain? Protecting his self-interest by frequently siding with the dark forces
that were then totally running the government. Where was he when the voters, in successive
elections, returned control of both houses of Congress to Republicans? He still stood like a
"Maverick," impeding the flow to true American Constitutionalism, respect for America's history,

Short Takes – Tax Incentives, Why?Opinion December 19, 2017
Tax Incentives, Why?
So, Marco Rubio is the newest wannabe 'Judas' in the Republican stable. In the GOP Tax reform plan he demands that the tax reform plan must increase child tax credit incentives to the poor, or he won't vote for it. This is so he can get re-elected in a Florida now filling up with refugees from hurricane wrecked Puerto Rico, not to mention Obama's islamists, poverty fleeing Haitians and third worlders swarming across our southern borders to join in the fray.
We would expect Join McCain to do it. He would claim to see some imminent danger to the Republic if he deigned to support a Trump initiative that would allow Americans to keep more of their own earnings so, he would vote against it. But, little Marco? Naw!
Everything government does is based on a supposed "crisis of human affairs." Who, exactly determines what that crisis is or should be? Why, politicians of course! California forest fires might fit the definition but people should have fire insurance and not build homes in foothills covered with brush that has the flashpoint of gasoline. The flooding and destruction that comes with hurricanes, unusual storms, zombie apocalypse and etc. could be a concern for government, but not the federal government. It's not in their job description (the Constitution)! If you want to live in a flood zone, buy insurance. "Ya pays your money you takes your chances."
What little Marco wants is that you and I, as wage earning tax payers, and we do pay our taxes in order to avoid going to jail, allow the government to take a bit more of those taxes we pay and squander it on other people, basically third worlders unqualified to be productive Americans anyway. Why are they allowed to receive incentives from us the the plight of our veterans is ignored. Why should illegals be rewarded without expending the effort required to get it?
As I understand it, Puerto Rico needs to be rebuilt. So does Haiti. Why are those people here in our country then, living nearly for free? We can't afford 'em anymore. Politicians are solely responsible for this near financial disaster of good intentions we are now facing yet, like lil Marco, they keep adding on "benefits" that we can no longer afford. Admittedly, right now, some Americans exult at the rising stock market earning big bucks. When the Europeans stop sending their money here to avoid their own coming EU collapse, and the cash pool available for our government to dip into ends and then we'll have to face the consequences. It will not be happy.
I should think that welfare, including child incentive tax credits, should have strict, enforceable limits. Recipients of government welfare should be absolutely limited to three children and NO more. Besides, I cannot find one amendment in the US Constitution that permits government to dispense taxpayer money for any other purpose than those enumerated therein. I do read in the 10th Amendment, words that precisely limits what the federal government can and cannot do and that includes doing good deeds. Doing good deeds should belong to the states.
This form of thinking, spending our money outside that permitted by the constitution, is done by politicians who want to keep their jobs by showing favoritism to the abundant numbers of poor voters who will, naturally, vote to maintain free government stuff. If welfare was totally returned to the States, as the 10th amendment allows, the federal deficit and debt, will depress, along with the taxes they steal, and we will all be happier. Taxpayers in states near financial collapses, like California, Illinois and Connecticut are now experiencing, would also put an end to that foolishness. So would term limits for federal politicians. We should have the incentive to spend or save our own money not give it to government to spend foolishly. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (15Dec17)
Short Takes – What Has Hollywood Done Now?Opinion January 11, 2018
What has Hollywood Done Now?
Well, well, well, In yet another staged gala event awarding themselves statues and recognitions, The Golden Orbs awards ceremony, filled with Hollywood's beautiful people dressed in black to make a visual statement about something that irks them, joined together with unbridled enthusiasm to proclaim their new messiah, Oprah Winfrey as their 2020 Presidential choice.
That won't go well with the Democrats who still have their usual suspects, the elderly Joe Biden, Chuckie Schumer, Barry Sanders, the Indian maiden, Liz Warren, and dementia challenged Nancy Pelosi, hanging around their necks like albatrosses or hangman nooses. No, Oprah is good for preaching the Progressive line, expressing costly empathy for the poor and downtrodden, the illegals and homeless and those living in the shadows, but not as president. That simply won't do! One presidential disaster is enough to overcome.
Admittedly, Oprah made a wonderfully stirring speech against something or other, the powerlessness of women one supposes, that could be classified right up there with Obama's speech to the Democratic Party Convention in Chicago a few years ago. That speech, like Oprah's, quickly brought Obama instant political recognition and then the presidency a few years later which he promptly set about "changing." Obama was a fascist. Oprah is a products salesman.
For 2020, the elephant in the room is the sitting President, Donald Trump. He is getting things done by setting America back on it constitutional tracks, while being the constant object of left wing media derision, fake news attacks designed to undermine his administration, and personal attacks against his family, his associates and his administration. Oh, hell, attacks against anything Conservative and everything Trump.
The need to make comparisons cannot be ignored. Both Trump and Oprah are very wealthy in their own rights and that recommends them for good business sense. Trumps skills lie in recognizing where money can be made, not out of wacky ideas or from printing presses, but of seeing potential in community growth, offering people what they want and buying property to build structures that will accomplish those goals. He spreads the wealth. So does Oprah, but on a commercial scale of product identification and salesmanship. She's very good at it.
Other skills Trump enjoys is the ability to successfully negotiate with people, to make them happy with the deal, as well as making his investors happy. That's called Capitalism and the fall out for it is increased employment for the communities he builds in and taxes for government.
Oprah is wealthy because she knows how to sell products, save her money and spread wealth and happiness to the people she employees and the people she hocks her products to. Not too shabby, and another great example of Capitalism at work. Both are hard workers and it shows,
But Trump also saw how quickly a rogue government can steal a populations economic vitality by ignoring the rules of economics (socialism) through onerous rules and regulations. He sought to correct it by running for President with the expressed purpose of making America great again. The people bought it and he is doing exactly what he promised he would do, like Jesus kicking the money changers out of the temple. 2020 is three years away. Can Hollywood really sell us Oprah? Can she do what Trump has done? That remains to be seen, but don't bet on it.

Short Takes – Recusal, Just What the Hell is it and Why?Opinion January 10, 2018
Recusal, What the Hell Is It, and Why?
The DoJ is reviving the Clinton email investigation. Just what that mean for true justice is unclear. The FBI already investigated the Clinton email case and excused her for being naughty. What's next? My beef is that Jeff Sessions recused himself for some inane reason I have yet to fathom, lest it be that early into the Trump administration, still uneasy on their feet and fearing what the Democrats would do to retaliate against Republicans at a later time, it was a small gesture of appeasement. Whatever it's justification to the AG, it really irked the boss.
In hindsight, we see now that not only was it unnecessary, but it created its own set of problems that will occupy the media and Democrat fundraising efforts for years. Democrats may be down, even near extinction, but they're not out… yet. Until Donald Trump, Republicans were afraid of offending Democrats. The "Never Trump" crowd still are and that includes long time Republican politicians like Jeff Sessions. I'm not saying he's bad, he just needs to be reeducated in the art of political judo and realize his strengths, and then, go get 'em!
Nobody complained aloud when Obama's AG, Eric Holder started deadly gun running operations to Mexican drug gangs, or launched schemes to take over city police departments under the "Hands up, Don't Shoot," meme. Nobody screamed about his failure to inquire why Hillary sold American uranium to the Russians and received in return, vast donations to the Clinton Foundation. If they did, the leftist media didn't report on it.
Neither did anyone demand to know why Loretta Lynch met secretly with Bill Clinton on a Arizona airport tarmac just before the election of Donald Trump, or why she allow James Comey to do her job of excusing Hillary. Was there a conspiracy to prevent Trump from becoming President? Of course there was! You have to be an idiot to not see that.
But now, we' get to the really consequential stuff like threatening America's national interests and compromising the nations security by her 'unintentional' mishandling of American secrets and systems. Despite what former FBI director James Comey opined about Hillary's lack of 'intent' to harm America, the fact remains she did and any 'lack of intent' is of no consequence to the rule of law or the pursuit of justice. This tawdry Mueller affaire, is a cobbled together fallout attempt to cover up Hillary's crimes and place them on Trump's shoulders. It's working in reverse.
The question now is how will Jeff Sessions undo the damage Holder, Lynch and Comey may have done to American justice? For Hillary, there was no Grand Jury empaneled to hear evidence, Comey decided that by himself; therefore, there was no indictment, and no trial, so any issue of double jeopardy does not apply. Hillary staffers, Huma Abedin, Donna Brazile and others, can now be considered co conspirators and interrogation under Miranda warning, and be squeezed like they squeezed General Flynn to admit to lying to the FBI. That's all it takes.
Who is going to take responsibility for destroying the evidence of Huma's and Donna's laptops? That's a crime and because an FBI person does it, makes it no less a crime. I can tell you, no agent would do such a thing without being told to do so. There will be a scapegoats. There has to be, so expect underlings like FBI Agent Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page to fill that bill. They're young, they were in heat. and they are sure patsy's for protecting the higher up's.
I think President Trump has lit a fire under Republicans and the earth is starting to move. Watch the exodus of deep state employees flee for retirement or new jobs in industry.

Short Takes – When Will They Do Something?Opinion January 5, 2018
When Will They Do Something?
The Democrats slavishly anticipate a sweeping return of the power they once wielded by regaining the Congress, they hope, this year. But they ignore the reason that got them into their predicament in the first place. Voters didn't want a third Obama term. Voters didn't want that crooked Hillary Clinton screwing up America any more by extending Obama's policies and, in fact, Voters really prayed for justice to be served on her for her multiple high crimes and misdemeanors. We're not stupid after all. We know what's wrong and we will vote.
Americans once trusted the FBI implicitly. The Clinton's ruined all that. The FBI is now wreathed in controversy, infested with Clinton partisans and politically, in a position on the wrong side of Constitutionality earning for themselves the same level of distrust as a salesmen of aluminum siding or Obamacare enjoys. Once lost, trust cannot be reinstated without pain.
The Mueller investigation, after one whole year, is a sham. Nothing that comes from the anti-Trump inquiry can be considered trustworthy. When is the FBI investigation into real Russian collusion by the Clinton Foundation, the DNC and the Obama Administration, going to happen? The American People are waiting. It will happen when the AG, Mr. Jeff Sessions, gets off his butt, un-recuses himself and does his job, that's when. Americans are ready for it.
Remember Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's trusted Islamic Brotherhood connected personal aide? She actually forwarded State Dept. passwords to her personal Yahoo account before it was casually perused by Russian agents. This means the compromised sites were not in fact hacked but were simply opened as one would open a refrigerator door and peek in. Corruption for money runs deep in the Clinton Foundation. Huma was not Interrogated by the FBI, just interviewed. Her lap top computer, according to James Comey, was simply destroyed. No charges were made against her or anyone else. The depth of Hillary's protection is breathtaking.
The exposures were known to Hillary as early as July 2009 where another Clinton confident, Sid Blumenthal sent her an email with the subject line: Important, Not For Circulation. You (Hillary) Only, Sid." It was marked "Confidential" and titled: "Moscow Summit." Abedine forwarded the email to her Yahoo address potentially making it visible to hackers. That's called a clue but for Democrats, it's a smoking gun.
Apparently, Abedin regularly sent her work emails to her personal account, that included her husband Anthony Weiner, of "weiner" fame, as discovered by a Judicial Watch FOIA request. Weiner laptop revealed a cache of thousands of Hillary's dumped emails, many compromised, all recovered by the FBI. Abedin's excuse was that it was difficult to print from the State Depts. system so she routinely forwarded emails to her personal user account. Yahoo verified the August, 2013 hacking of all their accounts that made national news.
Abedin sent her government laptop passwords to her Yahoo account on 24 Aug. 2009, as revealed by the State Dept. in Sept 2017. In 2013, three billion (yes, with a "B") accounts were open to hackers across multiple Yahoo systems. Finally, the DoJ charged Russian FSB Officer, Igor Sustain, with hacking 500 million Yahoo accounts well into 2016. Sushchins cover was as a banker with Russian Investment Bank Renaissance Capital, the very bank that paid Bill Clinton half a million dollars for a short speech he made in Moscow in June 2010. When will our side do something about this sordid state of affairs? When will justice be served. Never, so long as the "deep state" remains intact. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (03Jan18).
Tax Changes How About The Fair Tax?Opinion November 14, 2017
Let me try to understand this. We are debating changes to our "Progressive" tax code, to make it easier for politicians to shake us down with us liking it, with people who can't balance the checkbook and won't listen to us anyway. Am I missing something?
So far, I have not yet heard the words "Fair Tax" enter this discussion. Why is that? Well, It's all about economic control that allows politicians to pick and choose winners and losers. That power alone allows them to keep their jobs, stiff us, and make us play their game. I'm tired of it.
When corrupt politicians control our lives and we don't recognize what it is doing to us, we allow their actions to pass on without complaint hoping apparently, that somebody else will do something. Americans just want to be left alone to provide for their families and their retirements, and it's always the damn politicians who stand in our way. Less government means more freedom and I think the crippling effect of government deciding who pays how much, is unconstitutional anyway. A Fair Tax would solve that.
Congressional Republicans are ineffective at governing. Before, a few Congresses had over seventy GOP co-sponsors for the "FairTax". Today, it's half that. The reason was that it was once safe for them to say; "Yes, we support the Fair Tax" but, they never had an inkling they would actually have a chance to vote for it. They don't want that. Now they just ignore it and hope it goes away.
When the Republicans became the majority and changing the tax code became a serious issue, they could still talk around it. With Trump's election, Republicans went into a panic mode because they can't or don't want to explain the FairTax, let alone implement it.
I have talked with congressional campaigners in past elections and realized most are clueless about how the real tax system works or how the Fair Tax could improve economics for all.
This might help explain Obama's twenty trillion dollar national debt he saddled us with leaving Donald Trump to take the blame when it all collapses, as it will, shortly.
The most important reason for their impotence is that under the Fair Tax politicians lose control over us. 'Nuf said?" They would lose their power to reward and punish Americans using the current tax code and its enforcement arm, the IRS Gestapo, as a weapon. With the Fair Tax, loopholes would be closed and there would be no reason for the corruption lobbying encourages. Lobbyists bring money, and favors to our public servants ensuring the continuation of government corruption, not because money corrupts but because politicians are corruptible. One only need look at the Clinton Foundation and the Podesta Group to see real crime rings that can run circles around the Mafia. The changes wrought could be incalculable. Patronage would be threatened, tax lawyers and tax preparers would go belly up, and, lacking a "raison d'faire," corrupt politicians would go home and try to exist off their congressional retirements. Not too shabby. With the Fair Tax we could also demand, because we desperately need it, term limits at all levels of government, not just the President.
But, that ain't gonna happen. You know it and I know it because we simply do not have the power to lift the yoke of oppression off our shoulders or stop the lash on our backs and, be it a Democrat, a Republican or far left Socialists like uncle Bernie and Aunt Warren, our public servants in Washington won't allow that. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (12Nov17)
Short Takes – A Week of DisastersOpinion November 7, 2017
A Week of Disasters
Where does one begin to reflect upon this weeks events? How does one devalue any American's military service? We saw it start in the 1960's when G.I.'s returning from Vietnam were spat upon, harassed and disrespected by the Communist influenced radicals who refused military service, organized demonstrations against ROTC programs and fought police on the streets. This was the era that spawned the Clinton's. Gratefully, It's almost over, we hope.
We see the NFL register their disrespect every weekend at game day, and we saw it again when the US Army deserter and traitor, Bowie Bergdahl walked out of a military court at Fort Bragg, NC, a man free of further punishment because a "snowflake" Obama officer, Col. Jeffery R. Nance, didn't like the Commander-in-Chief's comments about exchanging Bergdahl for five Muslim terrorist generals and opening that Bergdahl, who did not serve with honor or distinction, should be executed. It appears the inmates are still in charge of the institution.
But, Bergdahl isn't free. He will forever be imprisoned by his cowardice, waiting and wondering when the retribution that settles scores will surely come. He will forever be looking over his shoulder, sleeping in different bedrooms every night, moving from place to place seeking the anonymity he so desperately craves and will never get. In the end, he will kill himself. He must!
Bergdahl's treachery, and the court martial judges decision, is a burden almost too heavy to bear. Bergdahl will realize the approbation he so richly deserves and it will hound his thoughts to the grave, unlike his Commander-in-Chief, Obama, who nearly succeeded in neutering the very essence of a military's strength with his transgender, homosexual policies of socialization. Bergdahl is a product of that socialization experiment.
That leaves us with 26 year old Devin P. Kelly, a once Air Force member awarded a Bad Conduct Discharged with a sad social media history of malfunctioning brain cells, who committed the awful murders in that Texas church. He was a deranged single white male with a personal history of violence, anger and hate. Immediately, the media screams "gun control, gun control," yet we saw that a good man with a gun, can stop a bad man with a gun. The second amendment is non-negotiable by the way. Kelly's in-laws were members of that church.
What the "Left" loves to do is immediately try to connect the murderers to Tea Party or conservative Republicans. If their search is not rewarded, and they're now careful not to make rash assumptions, they report nothing at all. In this case, their search has not revealed Kelly's political affiliation and, as we know if he had been a registered Republican, they would have screamed about it at once. Therefore, he had to have been a Progressive Democrat.
That brings us to sorting out the plethora of suggestions now flooding in about how to stop these awful shootings. What is apparent, and always ignored, is that thus far, all of America's mass killings with guns and cars, were committed either by Muslims or Liberal Progressives. No NRA members yet. The Texas murders seriously suggests that to prevent these types of assaults in the future, anybody registered as a "Democrat" should be denied gun ownership. It only figures.
The Texas shooter had an Irish name. The Irish have devolved a long history of rebellion, shootings, and killings. Should the Irish among us be denied the right of Constitutional self-protection because one of their number committed an outrage at a small country church? Maybe not because he was Irish but because he was a Liberal/Progressive. Yes, that will do.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get 'em! (06Nov2017)

Women in Street Photography
I recently was a judge in the Brussels Street Photography Festival's Made in Bruxsel photo competition. The theme was diversity and the "mixity" of Brussels, the second most diverse city on the planet. As the jury finished deciding who the winners were, an observer of the jury pointed out that all of the finalists (and winners) were men. The room fell quiet as we realized there was a considerable problem with a photo competition that holds the theme of diversity but yet nearly 80% of the photographers were men. Diversity in photography isn't only about who is portrayed in the photo, it's also about who is making the photos.
As a woman photographer who occasionally shoots on the streets, I was puzzled why more women didn't participate in this year's competition. There are many theories that came to mind why female participation was low; perhaps it's because competing isn't as interesting to female shooters as men, perhaps an error in marketing, perhaps the streets aren't as friendly to female photographers, or maybe they had better things to do. I have no answers, but I do know that photography is often an industry that is dominated by men, and when I hear "where are all of the female photographers", I cringe. We are here, we've always been, and our contributions to the industry are essential.
To honor street photographers, today's post highlights a few fundamental street photographers, all who are women. These photographers pushed our understanding of city life and laid the foundation for street photography and the poetic image.
Since my experience as a judge in this competition, I'm left wondering how we can elevate female (and non-binary) photographers in a non-patronizing way? For now, enjoy these delicious photos.

One hundred above-ground nuclear tests were conducted at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) between January 27, 1951, and July 17, 1962. On August 5, 1963, the Soviet Union and the United States signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT), which prohibited nuclear tests in the atmosphere, under water, and in space. From that time, until the end of testing in 1992, nuclear tests at the NTS were conducted underground. However, these post-LBTB tests were not the first underground nuclear events at the NTS.
Since the late 1950s, the Nevada Test Site has been the subject of criticism, protest, and civil disobedience. Organized protest actions have ranged in size from fewer than ten people to groups of thousands during the large demonstrations of the 1980s. Individuals have observed private desert witness as they pray for world peace. In spite of the nuclear testing moratorium that has been in place since 1992, protest continues at the site.
On January 27, 1951, Nevada became the United States' cold war continental nuclear proving ground when a one-kiloton nuclear device was detonated over Frenchman Flat. The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) chose the Nevada Test Site after carefully considering complex factors involving science, national policy, geopolitics, safety, and public relations.
One hundred atmospheric nuclear tests were detonated at the Nevada Test Site (originally the Nevada Proving Grounds) between 1951 and 1963. The first Nevada series, code-named Ranger, was conducted during January and February 1951, immediately after President Harry S. Truman had approved the establishment of a continental test site in Nevada. The United States' first post-World War II nuclear tests had been conducted in the Pacific.
The Nevada Test Site was the United States' Cold War continental nuclear proving ground. Nuclear weapons testing began during World War II and came of age during the Cold War. The nuclear tests conducted in Nevada between 1951 and 1992 had their origins in major scientific discoveries of the twentieth century.
