Posted by: Andy at 06:49 AM Comments (Jump to bottom of comments) 1 Morning! Posted by: Molly k. at January 05, 2016 06:50 AM (w/CJV) 2 Good Morning Morons. Today is Tuesday, January 05, 2016. On this day in 1949 Harry Truman unveiled his proposed "Fair Deal" Program. It was a 21 point program of almost all new socialist programs similar to FDR's new deal. And among these 21 points was a call for "universal healthcare". IOW, Truman really was a continuation of FDR. I have no idea why so many people think he was a good President. And since the Republicans controlled congress only a few of these things made it through. And BTW, contrary to the now popular AOS meme, he was my first President.

The Brits seem to have a knack for producing these folks. http://fxn.ws/1ZLmGlz Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:50 AM (t2KH5) 4 The US Pacific fleet has shrunk to dangerous levels thanks to that BS budget "sequester deal" made by Boner several years ago which allowed Obama to continue to throw more money into his socialist programs while cutting military spending to the bone marrow. This has only encouraged countries like China to become more aggressive and it is worrying our allies in the Pacific regions. History has shown every time we cut back like this it leads to a much more expensive and dangerous war. But you can never tell liberals that. I also note something in this article that I knew from past experience, fewer ships mean longer patrol times and lower moral. http://fxn.ws/1JUQinj Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:51 AM (t2KH5) 5 The two ranchers in OR involved in the armed standoff have turned themselves in to do their 5 year prison sentences. I consider them to be political prisoners going to the goolag because they refused to bow to Obama's BLM. Under Obama we have become 1950s Russia, the political atmosphere, the economy, and a lawless thug running the show. http://fxn.ws/1RcXV0o Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:51 AM (t2KH5) 6 Most of the Middle East muzzie nations are not happy with Obama's palling around with Iran. http://fxn.ws/1R8CPA4 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:51 AM (t2KH5) 7 Three NFL teams are looking to move to L.A. over disputes for new stadiums. Why is it that these millionaire/billionaire owners think that the public should pay for their football stadium for them to continue to rake in the cash? Because there is a history of that? And no, there has never been any reliable proof that these flashy stadiums and football help local economies. http://fxn.ws/1SwlDUB Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:51 AM (t2KH5) 8 older II's stepdaughter held over cab fare dispute. New York City police say the stepdaughter of U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch was taken into custody after an argument with an Uber taxi driver over an unpaid fare. http://fxn.ws/1OJ65Xp Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:51 AM (t2KH5) 9 Obama set to release 17 more terrorists from GITMO. http://fxn.ws/1mwSuMS Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:52 AM (t2KH5) 10 Get ready for the FDA to call for regulation of sugar based on a new BS "study". http://fxn.ws/1Z4hmNf Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:52 AM (t2KH5) 11 RIP Robert Stigwood, Bee Gees manager, at 81 from a heart attack. http://fxn.ws/1Z2AUMB Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:52 AM (t2KH5) 12 Evil vandals are attacking Mosques with bacon. When these vandals start cutting off muzzie's heads I will say we may have an issue. http://fxn.ws/1INnJ0d Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:52 AM (t2KH5) 13 The truth will out, the Chinese slowdown at best is only part of the cause of the stock market drop yesterday. And I repeat, the stock market is really, at best, a poor reflection of the economy. In my opinion it is the smoke from the fire, not the fire. http://fxn.ws/1VCF3qq Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:53 AM (t2KH5) 14 Some of the details of Obama's illegal pen and phone law on Gun Control are leaking out. One of these is a call for doctors to report "mentally ill" patients to the FBI. Under the real law these kind of actions require a court order as do all other actions to curb citizen's constitutional rights. Does this sound familiar? 1950s era Russia liked to declare citizens mentally ill as an excuse for curbing their rights. I have no problem with withholding guns from crazies as that should be done. I do have a problem with doing that based on a low level bureaucrat opinion without involving the courts. http://politi.co/1Z3xkqM Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:53 AM (t2KH5) 15 So what has been the impact of Obama's gun control policies via pen and phone (remember he has already jacked it up once before). No reduction in gun crime, but a whole lot of new guns sales. The US set a new all time record for gun sales in 2015. http://bit.ly/1PcBodU Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:53 AM (t2KH5) 16 And here is what I really expected from this new "low volume" seller BS. The Obama administration announced during a conference call with reporters Monday evening that the president's upcoming executive order may require somebody selling even a single firearm to obtain a Federal Firearms License. http://bit.ly/1UsaGlf Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:53 AM (t2KH5) 17 And BB has even more on this. http://bit.ly/1TBsOcr Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:54 AM (t2KH5) 18 Tod Starnes on Obama's illegal gun control. http://fxn.ws/1PboEEe Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:54 AM (t2KH5) 19 Vandals spray paint and topple headstones of confederate veterans at a cemetery in Raleigh, NC. What would be the reaction of the MFM if a group from the Sons of Confederate Veterans went in at midnight and trashed MLK's grave? http://bit.ly/1INNgGy Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:54 AM (t2KH5) 20 Obama has shown them the way. Illegals are using fake Puerto Rican birth certificates to get passports and licenses. http://bit.ly/1OwmGC6 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:54 AM (t2KH5) 21 More fallout from Scankles' e-mails. They show she actually met with Sydney Blumenthal at the State Department despite claims they had no real working relationship. http://bit.ly/1kGD1rR Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:54 AM (t2KH5) 22 So what has been the impact of Merkel's letting in hundreds of thousands of muzzie migrants? Over a thousand of them gathered on New Years Eve at a train station to riot, rape, and molest German women. Sweden could have warned her about this. http://bit.ly/1Rm7Oa9 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:55 AM (t2KH5) 23 Cable of perpetually offended women want to ban the word "foreign". Perhaps these are the real candidates for a court to revoke their second amendment rights due to insanity. http://bit.ly/1O2aDLn Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:55 AM (t2KH5) 24 Guess I didn't get up at this hour in vain. Thanks, Andy. Morning, Glories! Posted by: mindful webworker - okay, then at January 05, 2016 06:55 AM (Ma5u/) 25 Remember that fugly Chicago Teacher's Union President who got loud and cranky over teacher benefits (which among other union deals are bankrupting Chicago)? Well here is what you got people of Chicago. http://bit.ly/1n1r7dX Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:55 AM (t2KH5) 26 Obama says his pen and phone lawmaking doesn't violate the second amendment. Just another Obama lie. http://bit.ly/1JUGda0 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:55 AM (t2KH5) 27 Michigan muzzie woman says it is OK to stab Jews. Yeah Obama, let's let in another million of these Neanderthal assholes. http://bit.ly/22Iidm0 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:56 AM (t2KH5) 28 BLM activist and dubious reverend has been arrested for theft. http://bit.ly/1INwAPw Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:56 AM (t2KH5) 29 Obama will officially announce his latest illegal pen and phone law today some time around 11:40 a.m. plus allowing for being his usual hour late BS. You can bet your ass it will be filled with me, mine, and other such BS platitudes and he will have zero details about what his new law will be. http://bit.ly/1mwVmcG Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:56 AM (t2KH5) 30 Winston Salem police officer shot in a routine traffic stop and dragged � mile. Suspect was charged with attempted murder and possession of a gun by a convicted felon. More common sense gun control at work. http://bit.ly/1Z2dd78 Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:56 AM (t2KH5) 31 Oh, and the perp was yet another Obama son look-alike. http://bit.ly/22Ik4at Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:57 AM (t2KH5) 32 Obamanite thugs warn schools against discrimination of new muzzies that he is letting in. All based on an unsupported allegation from the terrorist support group CAIR. So schools can stand by for some more costly litigation from the crime syndicate known as EEOC. Of course most of the schools will simply cave and students will suffer. But impeachment is off the table. http://bit.ly/1O2dSTc Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:57 AM (t2KH5) 33 Another BS item from Obama's latest illegal executive order is the use of dumb guns that will not work. http://bit.ly/1R8FSbh Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:57 AM (t2KH5) 34 Pete Hoesktra: NSA Spying on Congress Requires Suspending State of the Union Invite He wants congress to NOT invite Obama to congress to give the State of the Union address.

When these vandals start cutting off muzzie's heads I will say we may have an issue. My money is on fake hate crime. It's a well-worn path that's likely being coordinated by CAIR, such as the diet coke -requesting lady flyer and the mosque member recently caught setting fire to his own mosque.

That's all I've got. ...he was my first President.... Mine, too, for a couple of months. Grew up with Ike, though, of course, which has shaped my life. My kids' equivalent was... BJ Clinton. Sad, that. Posted by: mindful webworker - okay, then at January 05, 2016 07:00 AM (Ma5u/) 45 >> Pete Hoesktra: NSA Spying on Congress Requires Suspending State of the Union Invite LOL!

Posted by: Colin at January 05, 2016 07:03 AM (T3Tpd) 47 In Failure Theater news: House Republicans will begin the 2016 legislative session with another vote Wednesday attacking the Affordable Care Act and defunding Planned Parenthood. Using the budget reconciliation process allowed the Senate to consider the measure without the threat of a filibuster. Obama has said he will veto the measure, and congressional Democrats have the votes to sustain it. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the vote, which is expected to pass with mainly Republican support, will "immediately set a tone" about the path Republicans plan to set for the country. Rollcall So, consider that tone totes set. Posted by: Laurie David's Cervix at January 05, 2016 07:03 AM (kdS6q) 48 Good work Vic. You've been busy this morning. Posted by: Golfman at January 05, 2016 07:03 AM (48QDY) 49 The Trump collapse continues: Donald Trump leads his closest rivals by double digits in an NBC News/Survey Monkey poll released Tuesday. Trump is supported by 35 percent of Republican and GOP-leaning registered voters in the online survey, with Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) at 18 and 13 percent, respectively. All other candidates poll in single digits, with retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 9 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 6 percent, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 4 percent and businesswoman Carly Fiorina at 3 percent.

Posted by: The Great White Soctsman at January 05, 2016 07:04 AM (iONHu) 51 Vic: The two ranchers in OR involved in the armed standoff... I consider them to be political prisoners... Aside from the earlier article summarizing the situation, Sundance at Cons. Treehouse has added an article about "The U.S. Attorney At The Heart of The Hammond Family Problem": The media are focused on the "Bundy Militia" angle to the standoff in Burns Oregon... However, a little research ... into the original legal battle reveals a rather startling update. ... http://bit.ly/1mylhAO Posted by: mindful webworker - of course you know, this means... at January 05, 2016 07:05 AM (Ma5u/) 52 In the Culture Wars: With her new fiancee at her side, former state Rep.

As for not being FDR that "fair deal" shit says he may as well have been FDR. And if he had a Demoncrap congress the way FDR had he would have got it. And we would still be in Great Depression I.

Posted by: Vic-we have no party at January 05, 2016 06:52 AM* I can only conclude that the countries taking these prisoners are a) terrorist-enabling America-haters or b) are getting some kind of spiff from Choom Boy for parking them on their land. Or both. Congress, in the meantime, will continue to do what it does best: nothing. Posted by: Mr Scribbler at January 05, 2016 07:08 AM (mIvL9) 59 @19. It's bad juju to mess with someone's grave.

That "tone" has a lousy beat and you can't dance to it. Also, it's the same tired tone we've seen time and time again from these losers. I'd rate it a zero.

They run for office People hopefully look at their POV and vote for them or not based on them, not on their sexual orientation.

Instead of "palling around," think: Val Jar retirement program. If there was anyway to keep an eye on that scrunt's finances after her cadre leaves office, there would be a path of millions leading right back to Iranian mullahs.

I do remember watching President Eisenhower playing golf when visiting my home town. It's not that we are ancient but I am surprised how young some of the Horde are. Native talent curmudgeons? Posted by: JTB at January 05, 2016 07:21 AM (FvdPb) 81 I read and heard some commentary the Obama EO on gun control is no big deal and has no major changes, mostly red meat for his cultist. That may be true but this is a foot in the door, incremental approach. See what the reaction is, fight off any lawsuits, let the public accustomed to this and propose something bigger in a few months. Remember, the first EO on immigration were much smaller and hardly noticeable and applied to relatively smaller groups of illegals. There was already a lot of chaos and non-enforcement before Obama but his limited EO mushroomed into the complete breakdown and open borders we have today, and much of the public accepts that as normal, even good. It would be naive to think Obama intends to stop with this limited gun control rules.

The Rams were brought to St Louis in the 90's, in what was lampooned as the WORST DEAL IN SPORTS HISTORY. Now the civic leaders, the state of Missouri and apparently, the NFL want to build a new stadium in downtown St Louis. To replace the shitty barn/dome that the Rams (hopefully) used to play in.

So it stops the flow of oil unless reset. Service call unless you know someone handy to 'pop the top' and wipe the glass clean. With power turned off of course.

From this date in 1944 Jan 5, 1944 - The EZ Dog Journals Cool and cloudy. Attack on all fronts bogged down by dug-in and fortified resistance. Gerry artillery got our range for the first time. Dropped over 40 rounds 170 mm in battery area. Two direct hits on C.P. which stood up fairly well. Officers mess tent cut up. Fortunately only two men hurt, one from our battery, neither seriously. Far too close for comfort. We fired more than 9500 rds from 1800 to 1800. This one pretty much speaks for itself. Posted by: Seamus Muldoon at January 05, 2016 07:39 AM (NeFrd) 118 "I also note something in this article that I knew from past experience, fewer ships mean longer patrol times and lower moral." These op tempos also mean that the ships are going to have less time in port for repair and refit, and they'll wear out faster, and they may not be ready to fight when called upon. If Congress had any sense regarding matters naval , they would be paying close attention to INSURV reports. These occasionally now leak into the public domain, and leaked ones make for alarming reading. USN warships are deploying, including to dangerous hot spots such as the South China Sea and the Persian Gulf, with busted systems. Including busted sensor, defensive, and offensive weapons systems. Nothing to go wrong with that plan , you can be sure! The only prominent figure on the Hill who seems consistently interested in the Navy is John "Old Man Yells At Clouds" McCain. Who is a former naval aviator and who is hence most focused on the air wing and CVN side of the Navy. Which is important, but not the whole picture, and the systems readiness difficulties are the worst in the smaller surface combatants, not on the carriers. ** An inadvertent but revealing pun. The people who are stirring the shit in the South China Sea are the Chinese navy, the PLAN.

Posted by: Hand of Count Petofi at January 05, 2016 07:41 AM (1BQGO) 125 FenelonSpoke, no suggestions, but prayers for relief for you. And peace for your son in this regard. ♥ Y'know... I was raised to think of prayer as something one did for better subjective communion with God and adjustment to God's will, rather than to effect any big changes in the "outside world." Always seems like people get the answer to prayer and thank God, or don't get the answer they'd hoped for, and, if they're wise, still thank God.* Not a good indicator of whether prayer really had any outside-world effect. Folks will believe what they want. The Bible Belt community around me of course believed in the power of prayer to induce God to do miracles. Oral Roberts made the lame walk every week on teevee. I never discounted power-miracles, but ... they were always something that "happened to someone else." Still, I don't think I know anything, much less how the Spirit works in the world, so, I join in prayers-at-a-distance and all that ... can't hurt, right? I rarely ask for them, though, because of aforementioned upbringing. And the long, long list of what I'd ask prayers for....! * Some idle musing on praying & thankfulness I did a while back: Be Sure to Say Thank You http://bit.ly/b-sure-2-say-thanks Posted by: mindful webworker - better living through whining at January 05, 2016 07:42 AM (Ma5u/) 126 Obama says his pen and phone lawmaking doesn't violate the second amendment. ******* Executive, legislative AND judiciary.

Just ordinary German citizens and taxpayers, trying to use their own transit system, were assaulted by hordes of these low-life thugs.

With regard to Carly Fiascorina? Memories of her run against Babs Boxer bob to the surface like punchbowl turds. Much like Mitt Romney running against Ted Kennedy, Carly often seemed to be attacking the incumbent Democrat from the left. I get that people liked Carly for her polished arguments, smooth media skills, and consistent bare-knuckled attacks on Democrats. Guess what? Those are all learned skills. She certainly didn't show them when she ran for the Senate out here. She went and boned up on this stuff in the meantime.

Over a thousand "migrants" were brazenly assaulting and raping women, robbing people, and shooting fireworks randomly into groups of people at a Cologne train station. Just ordinary German citizens and taxpayers, trying to use their own transit system, were assaulted by hordes of these low-life thugs. The "migrants" were groping and tearing the clothes off German women as they tried to escape the station, while shouting "fucky fucky" at them and calling them sluts. Even though all this mayhem and lawlessness was filmed by CCTV cameras in the station, only 5 of these asshles have been arrested. It is astonishing to me that German citizens are tolerating this kind of crap.

I don't underestimate Bill's ability to charm an audience, but he was just not bringing it." Think of this from Bill's perspective. He is visibly fading away. He knows it. He's got only a few good years left. He'd frankly just rather go quietly hang out with the Energizer Bunny and die in mid-boff like Nelson Rockefeller. But since it's his "wife" running, he's got to make at least a token show of assisting her. Under normal conditions, Hillary would face some invertebrate GOP establishment apparatchik who would never bring up the fact that Bill, rather than being a "womanizer", is instead a serial sexual predator. In that scenario, if Hill won, which she probably would, Bill would coast through his sunset years as First Gentleman. If she somehow lost, he would retain his Slightly Tarnished But Still Widely Beloved Ex-President status. But these aren't normal conditions. Trump. That's all that need be said. Under these abnormal conditions, where Hill faces someone who will dig every last bit of dirt about her husband and shout it in a voice loud enough to reverberate around the world, Bill faces not only the prospect of getting blamed for Hill losing, but also of having his pleasant retirement prospects and slightly-tarnished-but-still-beloved reputation ruined.

When an illegal commits a crime they will withhold the name and just refer to then as a [country/neighborhood] resident, preferably without providing the name. But if you dig deeper you might see that it's some Spanish name and he's only been a resident for months. Also in CO Hickenlooper has put out word that he wants no negative info about pot getting out, so we no longer see those stories about 7th graders selling pot candy at school, or toddlers eating mommy's pot cookie and getting sick -- instead, you can tell it's an issue because the local Children's hospital has started running PSAs instructing parents on how to ID if your child is sick from a pot edible and what medical assistance they may need.

So I do reviews on Amazon and am a ranked (top 500) reviewer. Whoop-de-doo, I know. But part of the gig is that I get requests every day from Chinese companies asking to send me their dollar store crap for me to review. I don't waste my time but it is interesting to note that the products tend to run in cycles. For example, the big thing last year were selfie sticks...every other email from a Chinese vendor was for a selfie stick. Then it went to RFID-blocking wallets, then Bluetooth headsets, then LED string lights, then money belts, etc. The thing shaping up now are makeup palettes, whatever the hell THOSE are. My point being is that unlike requests I get from American or Canadian vendors, Chinese vendors all seem to be a bunch of different sellers hawking the same product. Very little variation in those requests. It's really weird. Posted by: VA GOP Sucks at January 05, 2016 08:20 AM (PFy0L) 222 "Sorry, 28 trillion debt load is on China. Only 16-17 trillion is on us."

Yep. And, no, this isn't a "minor issue." If this is allowed to stand (and I doubt any Republican candidate with the possible exceptions of Trump and Cruz have the stones to overturn the EO) it is gun confiscation. Because most people aren't going to get their FFL. So what happens when Grampa dies and wants to give his guns to his grandchildren? He can't run the background check - he's dead. Is the executor of the estate expected to do that? Most of the time the "executor" is old aunt Edna who happens to live close to Grampa and sort of has the time. Nope, those guns will be sold to FFL dealers (at best), meaning the family no longer has those heirlooms. Treating this as anything less than back-door gun confiscation is not treating it with the seriousness it requires.

You know what's proven to save a life or two: stop-and-frisk, in any large US city, over a weekend. Either these Obama EOs (1) have some purported legal effect or (2) they don't. If (1) then Obama is usurping the authority of courts to interpret statutes, agencies like the ATF to administer them, and the DOJ to enforce them, all of which are unconstitutional. But the EOs in fact are more like (2) as they actually do very little. AG Lynch is trying to satisfy her boss, and still live with her Constitutional duties, by trying to say that this is a "nothing burger" that doesn't really change much of anything legally because it's (2). But in principle it does because it's (1). So the inevitable news and commentary cycle this week will distract us from the issues that matter. The only good from this is that Hillary will be nailed to the mast on this, which at the margin can swing OH, PA, CO, NH, NV, VA and dare I say it NY!. Let us pray Posted by: Ignoramus at January 05, 2016 08:43 AM (rs5De) 288 One other thing that this illegal order does is it ties in with something they have already been doing. Somewhere along the line that requirement that FFL holders hold applications for two years has disappeared. They now hold them for what I believe is much longer without a change in the law. AND the ATF has been coming around demanding that the store operators allow them to audit those records, i.e. see who has those guns now and log them. In other words they have achieved back door gun registration simply through reinterpretation of the regulations. By requiring even private individuals to obtain an FFL they get registration on every gun that changes hands in the US. And history has shown that the first step in gun confiscation is registration so they know who has the guns.

The new owner paid for everything. Barry's EO changed this? Posted by: Fritz at January 05, 2016 08:39 AM (UzPAd) Currently in every other State in the union an individual can transfer a firearm to another individual w/o the government getting involved at all, as long as it is not a strawman purchase.

They didn't just criticize W; they did it on foreign soil. They weren't just any kind of music group, they were a country music group (from Texas). Their fans weren't just any fans, they were country music fans - who tend to be very patriotic by default. So, yeah, they imploded because they did the worst possible thing they could have done for their career.
