It's been quite a while since I posted anything due to life intruding on what I'd rather be doing. But, I'm hoping to get back to blogging first thing next year. Meanwhile, I wish all a Happy Hanukah and a Merry Christmas - yes, both since my adopted mother was Jewish and I am Christian and do my best to show respect and appreciation for the Jewish people who are, after all, the Jewish people are the Apple of G-d's eye who preserved the Scriptures for all the world, and who gave us the Messiah (no, not the pres).
If you're wondering why I didn't wish anyone happy "kwaanzaa" or however you spell that, I don't participate in fake, made-up-to-foster-separatism celebrations.
If you're wondering why I haven't wished moslems well on one of their days, well that would be due to my not embracing evil, the devil himself, nor idol worship - that's right, they worship a stupid piece of black meterorite which they've enshrined in a replica of what they fear most - a vagina (look it up!). Weirdos. They must not fear it too much though since they are replicating like cockroaches (yeah, i said it - not like you'd expect me to use an analogy to something sweet, soft, cudly, and relatively harmless like a bunny, did ya?).
I wonder if any of those guns are of the Fast and Furious variety?
Obama, Holder, et al, I hope you're happy with overt act of war in arming the internal enemies of our neighbor, Mexico. You should all be extradicted for your crimes.
MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Two dozen gunmen burst into a casino in northern Mexico on Thursday, doused it with gasoline and started a fire that trapped gamblers inside, killing 53 people and injuring a dozen more, authorities said.
The fire at the Casino Royale in Monterrey, a city that has seen a surge in drug cartel-related violence, represented one of the deadliest attacks on an entertainment center in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug cartels in late 2006.
"This is a night of sadness for Mexico," federal security spokesman Alejandro Poire said in a televised address. "These unspeakable acts of terror will not go unpunished."
Calderon tweeted that the attack was "an abhorrent act of terror and barbarism" that requires "all of us to persevere in the fight against these unscrupulous criminal bands."
Nuevo Leon state Gov. Rodrigo Medina told the Televisa network that 53 people had been confirmed dead in the attack.
"But we could find more," said state Attorney General Leon Adrian de la Garza, adding that a drug cartel was apparently responsible for the attack. Cartels often extort casinos and other businesses, threatening to attack them or burn them to the ground if they refuse to pay.
In my opinion, there is no doubt that Holder knew. Watch this video and watch him say that he learned of it a few weeks before the scandal broke and yet he bragged about it in Mexico long before.
Mexico wants to indict those responsible for letting the guns walk and I don't blame them. This was an act of war arming the internal forces aligning against the Mexican people and the government of Mexico.

And those in charge are being promoted and moved to other parts of the country, some in positions invented just for them. While the whistleblowers are being retaliated against which is against Federal law. Of course, we already know from the voter intimidation charges against the black panthers stemming from the '08 PA billy club swinging incidents that Holder won't enforce Federal law if the accused / guilty are "his people".
Yesterday the Tea Party Hobbits (you know, US, the good guys who save the entire world!) politely asked Senator John McCain for an apology for turning the word Hobbit into an epithet. Today, the Morder Orcs (Democrats) expressed their anger at him too. In typical John McCain fashion, the venue was way too small and the doors locked 45 minutes before the event began.
I heard a clip of it on the radio where McCain said "...everyone wants to be rich..." and the crowd howled that no, they did not want to be rich! LOL
If U.S. Sen. John McCain's town hall on Tuesday had a theme, it's that Greater Tucson has been dipped in a big vat of angry.
And the heat isn't just the domain of the tea party anymore, with progressives showing up in force, just as torqued as their conservative counterparts.
It didn't help the tenor that there were far too many people for the 150-seat venue at St. Marks United Methodist Church on the far Northwest Side. The doors were locked and people turned away 45 minutes before the event even started.
As McCain entered, waving, he was greeted by the standard applause, as well as the not-so-standard chant of "Where are the jobs?"
Although the crowd by applause agreed to some ground rules - no yelling, no shouting, respecting one another - they didn't mean it.
The catcalls and interruptions started early into his introductory comments, which McCain largely used to make his case that the economic situation has deteriorated under the Obama administration. Using a chart with the title, "He's making it worse," McCain said there are fewer jobs, higher gas prices, more regulations and lower housing values since the inauguration.
But he's not sorry he said it...why should I, he said, when it's the facts. Do you understand that? He's sorry that you hobbits are too stupid to understand what his highness said.
Anyone who has known me for any length of time knows I already can't stand John McCain, his recent years border enforcement posturing with Pinal County Sheriff Babeu notwithstanding. Every six years McCain runs to the right and then spends his six year Senate term sliding to the left and insulting the right, reaching across the aisle to those whose policies are, at best, Socialistic, and, at worst, Communisitic (yeah, I said it).
Anyone who has known me for more than 5 minutes knows that I have been a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien since I was a child. I have read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings more times than I can count. I have watched the movies at least 20 times. I even went on a Lord of the Rings Movie Location Tour of New Zealand and intend to go on another after The Hobbit movies are released. Seriously, I love the story which is, at it's core, a story of Good vs. Evil. On the side of Good are the Hobbits. The Hobbits represent innocence and purity and all that is Good in the world.
For the WSJ to attempt to turn "Hobbits" into an epithet is outrageous. How dare they mock The Tea Party as "Hobbits". To be called a Hobbit is not an insult. It is a compliment of the highest order. It is saying you are Good and Righteous. For John McCain to agree with the statements from the WSJ so much that he chose to read the statement on the floor of the Senate thus preserving the sarcastic insult for all posterity is infurirating!
Clearly, the idiots at the WSJ editorial board and John McCain either didn't read the Lord of the Rings, or didn't watch the movies, or don't believe in Good and Evil, or are just too stupid to comprehend the point (that must be it since they don't even seem to understand that Mordor is actually part of Middle Earth). The Hobbits win in the end. Sure, it's a long hard road and they are mocked along the way and given little help by the elites, but they win in the end. HotAir did a great job of pointing out that inconvenient fact.
But what none of these critics have is an alternative strategy for achieving anything nearly as fiscally or politically beneficial as Mr. Boehner's plan. The idea seems to be that if the House GOP refuses to raise the debt ceiling, a default crisis or gradual government shutdown will ensue, and the public will turn en masse against . . . Barack Obama. The Republican House that failed to raise the debt ceiling would somehow escape all blame. Then Democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced-budget amendment and reform entitlements, and the tea-party Hobbits could return to Middle Earth having defeated Mordor.
This country is a hair's width away from a terrorist attack. Things are out of control. Unless, of course, you're an ordinary American who has to travel for work or chooses to travel for pleasure. Then, the TSA is all over your grandmas adult diaper.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says his deputies arrested an illegal immigrant working inside the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Station, the nation's largest nuclear plant.
According to Arpaio, 32-year-old Cruz Loya Alvares was denied entrance at the facility's security checkpoint on Monday, when he was the driver of a work truck belonging to a private contractor doing work at Palo Verde. Security guards noticed the man's Mexican driver's license was expired. On Tuesday, Alvares was admitted to the plant as a passenger in a work truck, using an Arizona ID card. However, at a secondary checkpoint, Arpaio says further examination by authorities determined that the Arizona ID was falsified.
The sheriff says he doesn't know how long Alvares had been working inside Palo Verde, and whether Monday was the first time he had attempted to get in.
"To some extent," Arpaio says, "security at this nuclear power plant worked. But still, an illegal immigrant was permitted to gain access. This raises the question: how safe is Palo Verde really if an illegal alien can gain access to this nation's largest nuclear power facility?"
The sheriff says the incident brings into question the effectiveness of the security at other government facilities.
Arpaio says his deputies have been made aware of other incidents of illegal immigrants working in buildings containing various federal, state, and local government workplaces.
Click the picture to see it all since my blog format cuts off nearly half of it. It's incredible. Looks like The Mummy That Devoured Phoenix. I heard reports that this storm was 2 miles high and up to 100 miles around / wide.
I'm just quoting this verbatim from Mike Broomheads page at KFYI but you can hear Sheriff Babeu say the below and much, much more (including "we don't need alligators") yourself ...
Sheriff Paul Babeu came on the Mike Broomhead Show Thursday to talk about a meeting he, among others, had with Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano in Arizona.
As soon and the secretary opened for questions, Sheriff Babeu jumped on the opportunity to tell her how our border is ACTUALLY doing.
Babeu also thinks that this sudden interest in increased boarder security is just an “election stunt.”
“Poll data should not run national security, and be at the forefront of decision making when it comes to protecting families here in America,” said the Sheriff. “And Oh! The third year into our four year term, we think this is a real issue now? You got to be kidding me!”
According to Babeu, he said that he needed at least 6,000 men and women on our border, now.
How did our Secretary of Homeland Security respond to that?
“You’re never going to seal it…you’re never going to seal the border.”
Well no, you can't seal the border if the HEAD of Homeland Security believes you can't! If she believes you cannot seal the border, then why would she even try? This is what you get with Napolitano, America! And Babeu is right, this is just an election stunt by a government which committed an act of war against Mexico and her people by arming the terrorists inside Mexico via "Fast and Furious" aka "GunRunner".
