For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

E-Rant SamKat

Another SamKat Rant:


I am not much for keeping up with electronic advancements.  

1.)  I got an android smart phone from TracFone but couldn't work it.  I have an ordinary TracFone whereby I buy minutes as I need them.

2.)  I have a new Kindle e-reader because I misplaced my old one.  Amazon allowed me to buy a new lesser one at a lower price.  I appreciate that.  I also took the new pone to a McDonald's and brought in all my purchased books.  They disappeared except for my recent purchase of Benjamin Carson's "America the Beautiful".  nother trip to McDonald's did not make it happen for me.

3.)  I immensely dislike telephone customer service for any company and telephone systems which have replaced the valuable live operators.  Prepare for several wasted minutes or hours and good luck finding the required solutions to any problem(s).

4.)  My document formats are not always accepted.  Can't some enterprising electronic publisher convert for me to allow me to e-publish several books I have written?

5.)  I enjoy people and interviewing them for my books.  In locating  a person I used to go to "whitepages.com and freely get the phone numbers if the person(s) had a listed phone number in their city's white pages.  Good luck with that.  Now you are directed to a too expensive 'service' for most searches.

6.)  Maybe, at eighty, I should just give up on electronics.  I believe the e-suppliers  know very little about marketing.  People should not just claim to make this or that product.  They should just claim to be interested in making money to keep their companies going and do everything to make it easy for the customers to use their products.  Then the electronic customers, even old ones like me, would be likely to buy more and use the products more.  Thus companies could make more money.

Couldn't some enterprising electronic producers hire some nerdy marketers to solve problems for customers or potential customers?


Computers-  I did not grow up with them, but I believed the excessive "planned Obsolescence" built into todays systems is ridiculous!

You just gotta love the Brits! ... thanks John M!

You’ve just got to love the Brits!!!
A devout Arab Muslim entered a black cab in London . He curtly asked the cabbie to turn off the radio because as decreed by his religious teaching, he must not listen to music because in the time of the prophet there was no music, especially Western music which is the music of the infidel.

The cab driver politely switched off the radio, stopped the cab and opened the door. The Arab Muslim asked him, "What are you doing?

"The cabbie answered, "In the time of the prophet there were no taxis, so f**k off and wait for a camel."

Quote of the day ...

Quote of the Day - William Howard Taft - "The world is not going to be saved by legislation."

Chicago! Thanks Pidge F!

This would be d--n laughable, if it was not so True!!!! 
 
 
Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?
 
Body count: In the last 12 months 500 killed (murdered) in Chicago.
221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
President: Barack Hussein Obama
Senator: Dick Durbin
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Governor: Pat Quinn
House leader: Mike Madigan
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .
Of course, they're all blaming each other.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.
And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us???
George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house.
Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is...that's right, also in the big house.
And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago.
That is because he is fighting being sent to...that's right, the big house.
 
The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.
