I recently went on a cruise to Alaska. We were flying into Seattle and our schedule was tight. Airlines have gotten more and more tightfisted with their flights and we were the victim of skin flinted-ness and God awful customer service.
It started with sitting for three hours on the runway. Yep-three hours. I asked my companion why we didn't just fly around the storm-it was fast moving and going the opposite way from us. No soup. I asked the United employee fussy mc dickwad if there was an alternate flight we could take as our schedule was now very tight. Not only did he not care-he seemed to take delight in his unhelpfulness. Just the sort of person who should work customer service, no? So instead of even looking at the other scheduled flights he said no. I didn't realize that United makes their employees memorize the entire flight schedule. But they must, as I said-fussy mcdickwad didn't even bother to look at the schedules.
So we sat there, waiting, until we reached the maximum amount of time we could wait and not take off. Then we went back in the terminal and waited another hour. Finally, you'll never guess what they decided to do. That's right-they flew around the storm. Of course, we missed our flight out of Chicago into Seattle. Luckily, the next person working for United-Sissy McHelpful- understood our problem and actually seemed to care about our predicament. We still missed our cruise, however, by 21 minutes. Yep. Less than half an hour. So then Sissy McHelpful made some calls and United flew us by Alaska Airlines into Ketchikan, so that we could meet up with our cruise.
We ended up having to rent a room ($200 dollars and no air conditioning!) and having to miss the first two days of our cruise. All because United parked their thumbs up their butts and hired that unhelpful jerk.
The flight home was infinitely better. We flew with USAir and didn't have a single problem. We even had the rare polite child seated beside us.
The seats on United were cramped and uncomfortable, also. All of the airlines try to hawk their overpriced lunchables instead of serving a decent meal. It was just pathetic.
I can understand why they lose money hand over fist.
So take it from me, don't fly United. You'll thank me later! ps- Happy Birthday Mitchell!!!!

The Supreme Court Gets One Right and the Left Goes Batcrap Crazy
I am not a big fan of the Supreme Court these days. I think that John Roberts is a coward and his stupidity foisted obamacare on the rest of us. But as my father would remind me-even a broken clock is right twice a day.
HobbyLobby is a wonderful store chain. If you build dollhouses (like I do) there is no better place to get anything you could possibly need for that dollhouse. They also are closed on Sundays to allow their employees the time to spend with their families and observe the sabbath. How cool is that???
Now because the folks that own HobbyLobby are God fearing Christians with a working moral compass-they will not provide abortifacients as part of their healthcare plan. Enter obamacare and boom! now HobbyLobby was expected to either violate their conscience or pay a HUGE fine. The Supreme Court got one right and narrowly allowed that no private company has to provide abortifacients if it violates their beliefs.
Keep in mind that the healthcare HobbyLobby's insurance plan provides for 16 out of the 20 methods of birth control listed in Obamacare mandates. They just won't pay for the ones that will kill a fertilized egg. Simple enough, isn't it? Not to the screaming left, it isn't. They are losing their minds. I have read more than one renouncing semi-hysterical rant wherein the author of the piece likens this small piece of sanity to the end of the world.
Walmart still sells the pill for four bucks. Hobby Lobby will still pay for your birth control pills. What they won't pay for is the morning after pill. They won't pay for any pill or injection that will stop a fertilized egg from living. How much simpler can it get?
I have used this analogy before but I will trot it out again. Pork is good for you. High protein, low fat, and pork doesn't marble the fat like beef does. That is to say, you can slice the fat off from pork and not have to worry about it being in the slice of meat you are eating. In short, pork is relatively cheap and it is good for you.
If HobbyLobby was made to pay for abortifacients, then why wouldn't Jews and Muslims have been able to be forced to consume pork? With the Yeti's unmitigated assault on what children can eat while at school- it could have happened. The food police are alive and well.
Scrap obamacare. It hasn't lowered the cost curve-it hasn't made anything more affordable. It hasn't even gotten more people insured. There are much better ways to accomplish the job of providing affordable healthcare to everyone. Selling insurance across state lines is a start. More competition is always good. Look into tort reform. Weed out the frivolous suits. That will help a lot too.
Think about it. you'll thank me later.

Nancy Pelosi Is an Idiot
Nancy Pelosi-the one time Majority Leader of the House of Representatives-is a moron. She is also a hypocrite, and I cannot imagine how she is able to receive Communion from any sane priest.
Ms. Pelosi spent countless tax dollars to make aphoto op , "discovery" trip to the southern border to see for herself the completely obama made crisis that is thousands of small and not so small children flooding our border.
Ms. Pelosi is saddened by their plight. Ms. Pelosi believes that we have a moral obligation to help these waifs. Ms. Pelosi doesn't have enough working brain cells to wonder how these poor, helpless creatures were able to transport themselves across thousands of miles-dodging some of the fiercest immigration laws in the world.
If Mexico catches you illegally in their country-you go to jail. Ask Sgt Tahmooressi. He is the U.S.Marine that has been held in jail since April because he accidentally drove into Mexico with his guns.
But somehow-these thousands of children, some as young as 4, were able to cross Mexico with no supplies, no food, no water, and they were not caught.
So putting aside the obvious lie in this latest manufactured crisis-Ms. Pelosi has herself in a righteous tizzy because we haven't done the 'right thing' for these children. Never mind that the right thing is to ship them home to their country of origin, thereby ensuring more opportunity for the children who are actually U.S. citizens- Ms. Pelosi is concerned.
But why isn't she concerned about the abortions she so shrewishly demands? I guess Nanvy only worries about children who are lucky enough to escape their mother's womb before someone sticks a needle into their brain cavity and sucks the life out of them.
Why is that okay with Nancy, but these children who are pawns in B.O.'s latest attempt to pivot are not? I have seen the pictures. Yes, it does look like those children are in closed areas, what are we supposed to do with them? Some of them have tested positive for TB and diphtheria. Are we supposed to let that loose on our streets? We eradicated those diseases decades ago, why would we welcome it back?
If Nancy is so worried about these latest examples of B.O.'s failure on every front-why doesn't she buy an orphanage in Mexico and let them stay there until they can be sorted out and sent home?
You don't suppose it's because this is all a phony, staged ploy do you? Yeah, me neither.
Close the border. Finish building the fence. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Benghazi and Watergate: A Tale of Two Scandals
Richard Nixon was the President during the event we call 'Watergate'. It refers to a break in of the DNC campaign headquarters. I have no idea what they were looking for, he probably didn't know either. Dumb idea. Dumb plan. Dumb cover up. It wasn't the break in that got Nixon booted. It was the lie and the cover up.
I hope that Obama is paying attention. Perhaps he is so narcissistic to believe that he couldn't be impeached. He may well be that dumb. I know that he can't pronounce corpsman. But that is a military term, and that isn't something he wouldn't be familiar with.
If we had a free and open media that did their jobs, they would have dug into what happened in Benghazi back in 2012. They would have had reporters asking tough questions. They would have had interviews that made Obama nervous, instead of slow, soft pitches like he got from Bill O'Reilly. It was pitiful.
I am heartened to see that Congressman Trey Gowdy is going to be leading one of the investigating committees. Mr. Gowdy has a history of taking zero crap. Of course, he is being pilloried from the left. The standard talking points are something in the neighborhood of this happened two years ago. Old news, we have already had 13 different investigations into this. Move on, there is nothing to see here. What difference does it make, now, this is all a partisan witch hunt.
I have read at least five variations from this, that's how I know that the msm and the left in general, is not happy with it. There was a time when the media set the news cycle. Of course, there was a time when the media reported all of the news, also. Happy days. But now they have a full fledged honest to goodness scandal in their midst-and the best they can manage is to tell me not to worry about it.
Hooey talk.
Of course, in their defense, the scandals are coming pretty fast and furious. See what I did there? But in all seriousness, you need a score card to keep track of the crap that Obama has lied about, mismanaged or simply broke the law over. And now it would seem that B.O. is trying a truly Nixonian tactic- the IRS- the group responsible for keeping track of what everyone everywhere owes the government- claims to have lost the emails that are directly covering when Ms. Lerner was illegally denying Tea Party Groups their tax exempt status.
To quote the Church Lady- "how convenient."
Nixon had the decency to resign. Don't hold your breath that B.O. will be as honorable. You'll thank me later.

The IRS Claims the Dog Ate Their Homework
Lois Lerner should be in jail. If you or I had discriminated against people as blatantly as she has, we would be cooling our heels in the grey bar motel. Unfortunately, she is still breathing free air. Pity the GOP doesn't do something about that.
If Eric Holder refuses to arrest her, he needs to be removed as well. I missed the civics class that said the Attorney General got to pick and choose which laws he would enforce. Three weeks ago, his boss came up with a brilliant idea to do another end run around the Constitution. The IRS simply "lost" all of the emails in question. I'm not sure which stooge thought this plan up, but is has the earmarks of Moe. Maybe Curly. But regardless, they are going with the "dog ate my homework" defense. Here are a few problems with that:
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/06/13/veteran-it-professional-gives-six-reasons-why-the-irs-claim-that-it-lost-two-years-of-lois-lerners-emails-is-simply-not-feasible
So not only did Glenn Beck track down a premier IT guy, but the IT guy goes into great detail about how to find these emails. He explains, in detail, how to go about finding these lost emails. If I can understand how to do this, you would think that some of the brain trusts in the Internal Revenue Service could figure it out as well, wouldn't you?
So as I write this, the msm has yet to go full blown Watergate with this. I suspect they still tote the party line. After all, if B.O. illegally wiretapping their conversations wasn't enough to break their love-I don't think that anything will. Tina Turner had a breaking point- it looks like the msm doesn't.
Call your elected officials and demand that they get an internal audit of the IRS files that are "missing." This is a digital age and nothing is truly lost forever. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Bergdahl Wasn't a POW- He Is a POS
How stupid is Obama? I know, it's a rhetorical question. He is actually surprised at the blowback that he is getting about his latest f*** up, that is turning over five hard core terrorists for one genuine traitor. I can't even wrap my head around the stupid people he is using for advisors.
Bergdahl walked away from his post. Good men died following the booby trapped trail that was left for them to follow in an attempt to rescue him. If I can get all of this information from simple searches- you would think that the smartest guy in the room would have access to it as well. I guess he was too busy on Priceline planning his next vacation to a golf course. Maybe he could have attended a security update. Naaah, too busy picking his NCAA brackets.
So now we have five hardcore terrorists back on their native soil and what was their punishment? They have to promise not to be a terrorist or leave the country for one whole year. Anyone want to bet that their towels and camels are already in Iraq-helping to lead that hot mess? I'm giving good odds if you're interested.
Also, the traitor's parents should have been the first clue. Did anyone, ANYONE at all do a little research on them? I don't think so either. That father went to a lot of trouble to "empathize" with his traitor kid. As the details become clear, the traitor was even confiding in his father about his plans and dissolutions with the United States military. Instead of comforting his son and assuring him-he basically told his traitorous offspring to "follow his conscience." I guess his conscience was no Jiminy Cricket. Aqmed the dead terrorist, maybe.
I am equally irritated by the automatic promotion to Sergeant. I know it is customary to raise the rank of all those who have been captured by the enemy, but should that rule apply to those who left all of their equipment behind and simply walked to the enemy? I think that meets the test for desertion, but I haven't looked at the specs for that. Everything seems to mean something else with B.O. You know, like saving $2500 is actually $5000 more, no one will lose their insurance is the same as mass cancellations, and my new personal favorite-not a smidgen of corruption is now missing emails and unfollowed policy.
After time in a military hospital the traitor has been sent home to us. Hot diggity. It was again released (quietly) that the Army has opened a case to study exactly what happened to make the traitor go missing. I can't wait to hear that- I am certain the Obama folks have their gallons of whitewash at the ready.
Too many soldiers and brave men have come forward with the truth about the traitor. Even though the useless media doesn't like to report a smidgen of bad news about their boy- they have been forced to cover the events around this. Thanks to the internet-the truth is all over the place. Thanks algore.
Perhaps that is the big boot behind net neutrality.
So now we have the guy in charge of the free world and when he isn't golfing as Iraq implodes he cannot understand why people don't think he is a messiah.
I can;t wait until November. Keep the House, take back the Senate. Begin impeachment hearings. Because just like Bergdahl-Obama is a POS. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Clinton = Congenital Liar
Do you remember the halcyon days of Bill Clinton and his ridiculous lies? Oh how the media swallowed everything he had to say. Eventually even they had to call bull crap-but oh how he could lie and lie. I especially enjoyed the finger wagging lie-it was my favorite. But it turns out he did have sex with that woman, he did tell everyone to lie. The media gave him a pass, they always did.
They tried floating the talking point that it was no big deal to perjure in a civil case, no one went to jail for that. Unfortunately for their narrative, people started popping up who had been to jail for perjury. Oopsie.
Then they switched tactics and tried to say that lies about sex weren't real lies. But it was a case about sexual harassment. Strike two.
Now here comes Hillary Clinton; fresh from letting good men die. She was a carpetbagging senator who did zero while in office. She was elected in New York, the best place for carpetbaggers to go. Her home state of Arkansas was out- they knew her. So after being a senator for about twenty minutes, she decided that she had enough experience to be the President.
It must take more energy and training than I realized to look the other way while your husband serially cheated on you. Maybe those are skills that she thought would make her presidential material. But alas, she didn't see B.O. in the wings. The only thing that the liberals liked more than the idea of the first woman president was the first minority president. So she and B.O. cooked a deal and she stepped aside and he thanked her by making her Secretary of State. Her qualifications? The same as for being president-that is to say zilch.
So she was in charge when the station in Benghazi asked for more security. She or B.O. said no. They watched as four good men were not just killed, but brutalized. She wouldn't send help. She just watched. Kind of like she did with Bill.
So to make this go away, Mrs. Clinton left her job as Secretary of State and hoped the furor would die down. But four people were dead, and the days of the msm being able to ignore things were over. Thank you internet.
Now Hillary has released a book in a further attempt to rehabilitate her image. The lasting impression she left us with at the hearings was a gigantic hissy fit. She squeezed her ancient fists, pounding them with frustration that she was being held accountable. Then she uttered the phrase that killed any hope of her setting her antiquated butt in the oval office-"At this point, what difference does it make?" You could physically hear her presidential aspirations die.
But she is a Clinton after all, and she truly believes that the regular rules don't apply to her. She let out some real whoppers in her book, probably because she isn't used to being called on her lies. She was able to skate with the lie of "ducking enemy fire" when she flew into an area overseas on one of her many many many jaunts as first lady. This time she is being called on it, and questioned ferociously.
She claims that she was 'dead broke' after leaving the White House. Her idea of dead broke and mine seem to differ by about 12 million dollars. Slick willie had his pension. She had her resources. He was receiving over 100,000 dollars a pop for a speech. Over ten million was donated to them. Again, her idea of dead broke and mine are off by about twelve million dollars.
It's probably another "vast right wing conspiracy" she'll have to contend with.
Let's not forget her age. In 2016 Hillary Clinton will be 68 years old. As Karl Rove has rightly pointed out- that concussion she received (and her handy excuse for not testifying again) seems to have been more severe than she claimed. I've had several concussions. Not one took that long to heal. I also didn't have to wear the brain injury eye glasses that Mrs. Clinton now sports.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is wholly unqualified to be President. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is wholly unqualified to be President. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

It's Okay for Those Obama Kids, But Not Yours
For some reason that I do not understand, Michelle Obama has been given the authority to determine what my children would eat in their school lunches. If I send a lunch that the school disapproves of, they will even give my child one of their lunches, charge me for it and send a chiding note home with my child.
I like to pack things that my children will eat, I am not one for wasting food. I understand the basic food groups, I know about vitamins, fats, and proteins. I get it.
What I don't get is having someone like Michelle Obama trying to tell me how many calories my child should have so that they come home starving. How can they think and learn if they are still hungry? Meanwhile- the Yeti and B.O. send their daughters to a very exclusive school- Sidwell Friends School. It is where the rich and powerful educate their children, away from the hoi polloi.
The yeti would have our children eating only 850 calories at lunch. 850 calories for growing children, many of whom get their best meal while at school. These children are hungry. But now, thanks to her, they are hungrier.
Here is an actual menu from the fancy schmancy private school that the Obama children attend. This was served to them on May 29,2014:

The Real Tragedy Isn't the Gun Violence
Another mentally unbalanced person has killed people. You'll be hearing renewed cries from all of the regulars. Obama will call for more gun control. Mothers Against Every Thing will show pictures of innocent victims. More hypocrites from Hollywood who mistake their ability to memorize words in order and repeat them back as anything more than a parlor trick will have loads to say. They will all say the same thing. Guns are awful, get rid of guns. They will say this from the safety of the guns that protect them and their loved ones. They will say this from the safety of their gated communities, their armed guards, and their highly reinforced protective detail. I am certain that even the yeti will take a break from telling me what to feed my children will have an opinion on guns, while safely protecting her children at home and at school with an arsenal.
But the tragedy isn't the guns. The tragedy is the mental illness that these people are walking around with, untreated. The crazy person who killed all those people in Colorado had slipped the cheese from his cracker a long time before he killed all of those people in the movie theater. Why didn't the people close to him do something?
The mentally ill man who shot and stabbed those people the other day was no different. He was making and posting videos online. I tried to watch one. It gave me the willies. Didn't anyone in his family watch one? Weren't they paying any attention to him? I'm not a doctor by any means, but I can spot crazy when it is dripping off of the screen. Can't you? Couldn't they?
The man who shot Gabrielle Giffords was in desperate need of help. Why wasn't he getting it? Perhaps if he had gotten the help he needed before he shot Ms. Giffords- she and her husband wouldn't feel the need to try and take my guns away from me now.
Mental illness is a growing problem in the world. I don't know if it's because people are doing a worse job of raising their children, or if we as a society are just going to hell. But the problem isn't the firearm. If anything, the firearm in the hand of a non crazy person is the solution.
When the crazy person at Virginia Tech tried to gun down everyone in sight, it didn't work. Do you know why? Because in Virginia, many of those potential victims were armed. The msm won't include that little nugget, but it was people with concealed carry permits and lawful weapons that stopped the carnage from being as bad as it could have been.
Better mental health screening is part of the answer to the growing problem of crazy people and their armed rampages. Responsible armed citizens is the other part of the answer. Think about it. You'll thank me later.

Thank God The White House Has Cable
It would seem that Obama had no idea that there are veterans who are dying while they wait for health care. The guy who always looks like he has to poop-Jay Carney- told me so. B.O. had zero information that there were secret lists of veterans who were waiting for medical care. Medical care that was promised to them in return for their service. He had no idea that people were dying, no idea that people were waiting on lists to be treated. He had no idea.
It's kind of hard to buy the scenario that this guy is the smartest one in the room, isn't it? Because if he is the smartest guy, God help the rest of us. Or better yet, just exactly how small is this room he is master of? Obama was informed about the problems at the VA hospitals back in 2008. He didn't care then, he doesn't care now. If it were the site of his NCAA brackets, well.......then he might care. But don't bet the farm, it's not as if he would ever be eligible to be a veteran anyway. They drug test, don't they?
So now we have even more people that are dead because B.O. isn't good at this job. He surrounds himself with people who aren't good at their jobs, either, but the msm doesn't seem to care that much-so hey- no big deal right?
We have veterans who were willing to sacrifice their lives for our country. They were shot at, blown up, and in some cases, tortured. Now, the US government can't even be bothered to help them out with their medical problems? What does that say about the current administration?
The idea that Obama-remember, we were told he's the smartest guy in the room- had no idea that the veterans hospitals were letting this happen. He had no idea that terrorists might be active on the anniversary of September 11th. He had no idea that four people would be murdered on his watch. Again. And he has no idea who did it, or if they will ever be brought to justice. He just can't be bothered with the details, after all. There is a golf game somewhere.
So now that we have this moron who apparently cannot find his butt with both hand and a flashlight denying knowledge about another problem that we have. Ask yourself what he is doing with his time, what is important to him. Because it sure isn't the United States of America, that's for sure. Think about it, you'll thank me later.
