Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

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.

Amazing what liberals can get away with!!

Bill & Hillary got about $12 million for their to-be written memoirs.  Here's some help for them since their memories are getting old.  HB
 
Bill & Hillary, 1970
 
BILL CLINTON'S MILITARY CAREER

Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting all contractual conditions of
registering for the draft. Selective Service Number is 326 46 228.

Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.

Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.

Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army Reserves on August 07,
1969, 
under authority of COL. E. Holmes.

Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.

Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by
Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2)  (a) -
registrant who has failed to report...remain liable for induction.

Bill Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has
already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!

Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.

Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a fugitive from justice.

Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977, from President Carter.

Bill Clinton becomes the FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President of 
the United States.

All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been refuted by Clinton.

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised that those responsible would
be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel, Clinton 
promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 
U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible be hunted down and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC, who are now dead would be alive today.

THINK ABOUT IT!    It is a strange turn of events.  Hillary gets $8 Million for her forthcoming 
memoir.  
Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events while under oath.

Sincerely,
Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN 
(ret)

P.S. Please forward this to as many people as you can! We don't want this woman to even THINK of
running for President!

For the past few weeks, a "super heavy" load has been making its way from Hardeeville, South Carolina to Biggar, Saskatchewan  It is a large electric generator destined for a clean coal power plant. The generator weighs in at 1.98 million pounds and isn't something you just jump on an interstate freeway with and truck  it on down the road.

In order to support such a load without destroying every inch of road you travel, the weight has to be widely distributed. You also have to travel back roads so that day to day commerce isn't completely disrupted along your route. After all..... your top speed on level ground is less than 20 mph and this drops to as little as 1.5 mph on grades and slopes. Rush hour traffic on an interstate would soon be solidly backed up to the state lines in both directions.

I finally had time to catch up with the load on Friday as it moved along a stretch of country road near the NC state line, but was unable to get near enough to shoot photos.  Luckily, one of the crew let me know it would be on the move again early Sunday morning when they would be making a detour around an interstate overpass that was not rated for anything near the weight of the load.

Here is the rig I'm talking about.... The trailer, as rigged, is 300 ft. long all by itself. There are 36 rows of axles, each with 8 tires. (288 total) These can be augmented with up to another additional 80 wheels on hinged outriggers, for a total of 368 potential flats.  Add in 5 each 10 wheel heavy duty road tractors (2 pulling and 3 pushing)  and that flat tire potential rises to 418.  The outriggers are not deployed in these photos, so the total tire count, for the moment, is 338.

The load then had to negotiate the 90 turn seen in the photo. This had to be done while keeping all 338 tires solidly on paved surfaces. Note that each axle is steerable so it's only a little less exacting than a tap dancing centipede, but an on board computer system has things well in hand. It doesn't fully control the action since there is a "driver" in the chain of command. Here the action as begun and the lead tractors are making their initial turn.
cid:X.MA11.1329589023@aol.com

As things advance, dozens of power crews are on hand to clear overhead wires and there are hundreds of  other support crews and dozens of support trucks waiting to fall in line behind the convoy. 

cid:X.MA12.1329589023@aol.com

Notice that each large truck has a box firmly anchored over the rear wheels. Those are 18,500 pound weights which give the truck the needed traction this load requires to get it moving. 

cid:X.MA13.1329589023@aol.com

Looking closely at the rear section of the trailer, you'll see it is sitting at about an angle of 45 to the rest of the load. Once the main load was aligned as they wanted, the rear section crabbed and adjusted until it was in line and ready to travel. It was a strange action to watch but it worked perfectly.

Here is a shot of one of the two "Drivers" The computer might tell the all wheels how much to turn, but this guy tells the computer when to do it and how much at a time. He's apparently pretty durable since the dawn temperature was a chilling 25 as he began his ride.

cid:X.MA16.1329589023@aol.com

Here you can see how the immense weight was distributed across the trailer sections as well as the hinge points for the support bridge. Both ends are supported in this fashion, making the whole rig a lot more flexible than it might first appear. Those outriggers I mentioned are clearly visible along the outer edge of the trailer. 

cid:X.MA17.1329589023@aol.com

The main bridge beams suspend the huge generator about 18 inches above the roadbed. When the job is completed, the round pins near the bottom edge can be removed and the beams can be stacked for their return trip home. Even up close they almost look too small to be holding that much weight up in the air. Standing near this beam is a little spooky. All kinds of pops and groans can be heard, even when it isn't on the move.

Chicago, Democrat Leaders Guns and the Media ... Thanks Ramey H!

Newtown, CT
Nineteen of 20 Newtown children are white.
All of a sudden the 2nd amendment should be
repealed or altered.

Chicago children are mostly black.

The media is silent about Chicago violence.


WHY?

Chicago: 446 school age children shot last year with strongest gun
laws in country the media is silent.


The cesspool known as Chicago probably has the toughest gun laws in the country, yet despite all the shootings, murders, and bloodshed, you never hear a peep about this from the corrupt state run media.


In Chicago , there have been 446 school age children shot in leftist utopia run by Rahm Emanuel. 62 school aged children have actually been killed by crazed nuts in Chicago so far this year.


So why isn't this news worthy?

Is it because it would embarrass those anti second amendment nuts who brag about Chicago's tough gun laws?
Is it because most of the kids who were shot and killed were minorities?

Or is it because the corrupt media doesn't want to show Chicago in a bad light?

The Political Leaders in Illinois;


All Democrats!


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


Chicago school system is rated one of the worst in the country.

State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.


Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% - highest in country.


A culture of corruption that would make a Louisiana politician blush with envy.


Can't blame Republicans!
There aren't any!

So the real reason the Press is Silent?
There's no one they can blame.
