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.

Not a Bible in her hands ... Thx Paul C!

 Not a Bible in her hands
 
 

 Not a Bible in her hand!
 
(and what's that around her head?)
 
Supreme court, here we come  ....

First Muslim Woman Judge Carolyn Walker, hand-picked by President Obama, is sworn into the Seventh Municipal District in Brooklyn by holding the Quran at her swearing in ceremony on December 10, 2015. It was a Historic Day!!
 
Since the Quran forbids all law but Sharia Law, I guess she will head the first Federally sanctioned Sharia Court. Kinda makes you proud, doesn't it? Gives me chills up my legs said Chris Mathews.
 
Very little media coverage on this ......Another chink in the armor, no one cares, until it's too late! 
 
Step by step by step....this is how our culture will end.B Obama supporters: your "Destroying America" dream is coming true....  And Obama's pledge to "fundamentally change America" is moving right along!
 
 
This can't be forwarded enough....
 


The raccoons have got to go ... Thx Paul C!

Subject: The raccoons have got to go!



Dear Representative, Whomever from Wherever USA

From the time I was able to vote I voted Republican.  I am 70+ and have a great deal of respect and influence with hundreds of seniors who also network with thousands of others around the country.

I received your questionnaire with your request for money and I strongly agree with every point you made as I have ever since Obama was elected.  Unfortunately the one question that was missing is "What have the Republicans done for the American people?We gave you a majority in the house and senate and you never listened to us.  Now you want our money.

You might think we are fools because you feel Trump is on a self-destruct course, but look beyond Washington and listen to the masses.  If you really want to know how the majority of people feel (and this applies to both Democrats and Republicans), keep reading...

Sincerely,


Here comes the part about the raccoons:

You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement or home is infested with raccoons.  Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement or home.  You want them gone immediately.  You call the city, 4 different exterminators but nobody could handle the job... But there is this one guy and he guarantees you to get rid of them, so you hire him.  You don't care if the guy smells, you don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he voted for Obama, you don't care if he has a plumber's crack, you simply want those raccoons gone!  You want your problem fixed!  He's the guy.  Period

Back to Trump...

Here's why we want Trump.  Yes, he's a bit of an ass; yes, he's an egomaniac; yes, he has weird hair, but we don't care. The country is a mess because politicians suck.  The Republican Party is two-faced & gutless, potentially dangerous illegals are everywhere and dangerous agreements have been made with our well-funded enemies.  We want it all fixed!

We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he has been friendly with Hillary, we don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he's been married 3 times, we don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslin terrorist.

This country is weak, bankrupt, and sending billions of borrowed dollars to our enemies.  The world is laughing at us.  Our media is distracting and brainwashing us and appears to be controlled by Washington.  Our government is inviting 'refugees,' failing to provide security, and threatening our rights, even as the horrible results of those same actions play out in Europe.  We are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even fit in or recognize our own country.

We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and sick of the 
blatant corruption behind the 'spending' of our tax dollars.

We just want this thing fixed!  Trump may not be perfect, may not have been our first choice among the candidates, but we see that he doesn't have political correctness and/or special interests restraining him.  And he says he'll fix it.  And we believe him because we know the end result of more of 'the same,' and because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or to at some point be called a failure.
We just want those raccoons gone, out of our house, NOW.

You are welcome to pass this on.  This is why thousands of people who haven't voted in 25 years are registering to vote this year.  
Those raccoons have got to go!


New Yorker Magazine on Trump ... Thx Paul C!

NEW YORKER MAGAZINE ON TRUMP - Brilliant!
 
 
 

Subject: NEW YORKER MAGAZINE ON TRUMP - Brilliant!
 
 

 
NEW YORKER ON TRUMP
 
This is absolutely brilliant.  A surprising article from the New Yorker Magazine.  This magazine has always been a left wing apologizer so this article is even more amazing.  Don’t pass it up.
 
No matter who your favorite candidate might be … the article is an interesting read.
 
The author is the political correspondent for Bloomberg and wrote extensively about Obama even before he was nominated.
 
"Who is Donald Trump?"  The better question may be, "What is Donald Trump?"
 
The answer? A giant middle finger from average Americans to the political and media establishment.
 
Some Trump supporters are like the 60s white girls who dated black guys just to annoy their parents.  But most Trump supporters have simply had it with the Demo-socialists and the "Republicans in Name Only."  They know there isn't a dime's worth of difference between Hillary Rodham and Jeb Bush, and only a few cents worth between Rodham and the other GOP candidates.
 
Ben Carson is not an "establishment" candidate, but the Clinton machine would pulverize Carson; and the somewhat rebellious Ted Cruz will (justifiably so) be tied up with natural born citizen lawsuits (as might Marco Rubio).  The Trump supporters figure they may as well have some fun tossing Molotov cocktails at Wall Street and Georgetown while they watch the nation collapse.  Besides - lightning might strike, Trump might get elected, and he might actually fix a few things.  Stranger things have happened (the nation elected an[islamo-]Marxist in 2008 and Bruce Jenner now wears designer dresses.)
 
Millions of conservatives are justifiably furious.  They gave the Republicans control of the House in 2010 and control of the Senate in 2014, and have seen them govern no differently than Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.  Yet those same voters are supposed to trust the GOP in 2016?  Why?
 
Trump did not come from out of nowhere.  His candidacy was created by the last six years of Republican failures.
 
No reasonable person can believe that any of the establishment candidates [dems or reps] will slash federal spending, rein in the Federal Reserve, cut burdensome business regulations, reform the tax code, or eliminate useless federal departments (the Departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, Energy, etc.).  Even Ronald Reagan was unable to eliminate the Department of Education.  (Of course, getting shot at tends to make a person less of a risk-taker.)  No reasonable person can believe that any of the nation's major problems will be solved by Rodham, Bush, and the other dishers of donkey fazoo now eagerly eating corn in Iowa and pancakes in New Hampshire .
 
Many Americans, and especially Trump supporters, have had it with:
·     Anyone named Bush
·     Anyone named Clinton
·     Anyone who's held political office
·     Political correctness
·     Illegal immigration
·     Massive unemployment
·     Phony "official" unemployment and inflation figures
·     Welfare waste and fraud
·     People faking disabilities to go on the dole
·     VA waiting lists
·     TSA airport groping
·     ObamaCare
·     The Federal Reserve's money-printing schemes
·     Wall Street crooks like Jon Corzine
·     Michelle Obama's vacations
·     Michelle Obama's food police
·     Barack Obama's golf
·     Barack Obama's arrogant and condescending lectures
·     Barack Obama's criticism/hatred of America
·     Valerie Jarrett
·     " Holiday trees"
·     Hollywood hypocrites
·     Global warming nonsense
·     Cop killers
·     Gun confiscation threats
·     Stagnant wages
·     Boys in girls' bathrooms
·     Whiny, spoiled college students who can't even place the Civil War in the correct century... and that's just the short list.
 
Trump supporters believe that no Democrat wants to address these issues, and that few Republicans have the courage to address these issues.  They certainly know that none of the establishment candidates are better than barely listening to them, and Trump is their way of saying, "Screw you, Hillary Rodham Rove Bush!"  The more the talking head political pundits insult the Trump supporters, the more supporters he gains.  (The only pundits who seem to understand what is going on are Democrats Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell and Republican John LeBoutillier.  All the others argue that the voters will eventually "come to their senses" and support an establishment candidate.)
 
But America does not need a tune-up at the same old garage.  It needs a new engine installed by experts - and neither Rodham nor Bush are mechanics with the skills or experience to install it.  Hillary Rodham is not a mechanic; she merely manages a garage her philandering husband abandoned.  Jeb Bush is not a mechanic; he merely inherited a garage.  Granted, Trump is also not a mechanic, but he knows where to find the best ones to work in his garage.  He won't hire his brother-in-law or someone to whom he owes a favor; he will hire someone who lives and breathes cars.
 
"How dare they revolt!" the "elites" are bellowing.  Well, the citizens are daring to revolt, and the RINOs had better get used to it.  "But Trump will hand the election to Clinton !"  That is what the Karl Rove-types want people to believe, just as the leftist media eagerly shoved "Maverick" McCain down GOP throats in 2008 - knowing he would lose to Obama.  But even if Trump loses and Rodham wins, she would not be dramatically different than Bush or most of his fellow candidates.  They would be nothing more than caretakers, not working to restore America 's greatness but merely presiding over the collapse of a massively in-debt nation.  A nation can perhaps survive open borders; a nation can perhaps survive a generous welfare system.  But no nation can survive both - and there is little evidence that the establishment candidates of either party understand that.  The United States cannot forever continue on the path it is on.  At some point it will be destroyed by its debt.
 
Yes, Trump speaks like a bull wander[ing] through a china shop, but the truth is that the borders do need to be sealed; we cannot afford to feed, house, and clothe 200,000 Syrian immigrants for decades (even if we get inordinately lucky and none of them are ISIS infiltrators or Syed Farook wannabes); the world is at war with radical Islamists; all the world's glaciers are not melting; and Rosie O'Donnell is a fat pig.
 
Is Trump the perfect candidate?  Of course not.  Neither was Ronald Reagan.  But unless we close our borders and restrict immigration, all the other issues are irrelevant.  One terrorist blowing up a bridge or a tunnel could kill thousands.  One jihadist poisoning a city's water supply could kill tens of thousands.  One electromagnetic pulse attack from a single Iranian nuclear device could kill tens of millions.  Faced with those possibilities, most Americans probably don't care that Trump relied on eminent domain to grab up a final quarter acre of property for a hotel, or that he boils the blood of the Muslim Brotherhood thugs running the Council on American-Islamic Relations.  While Attorney General Loretta Lynch's greatest fear is someone giving a Muslim a dirty look, most Americans are more worried about being gunned down at a shopping mall by a crazed [islamic] lunatic who treats his prayer mat better than his three wives and who thinks 72 virgins are waiting for him in paradise.
 
The establishment is frightened to death that Trump will win, but not because they believe he will harm the nation.  They are afraid he will upset their taxpayer-subsidized apple carts.  While Obama threatens to veto legislation that spends too little, they worry that Trump will veto legislation that spends too much.
 
You can be certain that if an establishment candidate wins in November 2016 … [their] cabinet positions will be filled with the same people we've seen before.  The washed-up has-beens of the Clinton and Bush administrations will be back in charge.  The hacks from Goldman Sachs will continue to call the shots.  Whether it is Bush's Karl Rove or Clinton 's John Podesta, who makes the decisions in the White House will matter little.
 
If the establishment wins, America loses.
 

Sniper Shots ... Thx Dr. Ral[ph H!

These may be from a game. However, I’ve seen some  individual shots on the internet that rival these.

Child tax benefit for recent refugees in Canada

From a Canadian friend... 
                                       
                                                                                                                    

Just getting started.....we are SO benevolent!☺
UUUUGGHHHH!!!!😖

Subject: FW: Child tax benefit for recent refugees that arrived in Canada

A recent Syrian family arrived in Canada as a government sponsored refugee family of 11 children between ages of 1 & 16.                                             They are immediately entitled to the Canada Child Tax Benefit which amounts to $5400 annually for each child age 6-17 and $6400 annually for each child age 0-5. Therefore, the family will automatically receive approx. $60,000 tax free per year which is $5,000 per month.  The family is living comfortably in Mississauga without having to work.  They are also entitled to HST and Ontario tax credits as well free dental and health care.     Furthermore, they never contributed one cent to Canada and most never will. 
According to the news media many more refugee families (Middle East, Somalia, Lebanon) with 10 or more children have arrived in Canada in the last 8 months settling in other parts of Canada such as Winnipeg, Edmonton, Whitehorse, etc.      What is interesting that most of the refugee families have 7 - 10 children. 
Canadian taxpayers have to PAY  for all of this through our taxes.  This is why the majority of politicians who have never had meaningful work, think it quite right to give freely of our taxpayer dollars while our debt level keeps climbing!!!
When are Canadians going to wake up before it is too late?  
                                                                                                                               ARE WE CRAZY OR WHAT?



Who is the real Phony in the pic ... Thx Dr. Ralph H!

Subject: FW: Who in the Photo is the Real Phony?

                      Typical Clintonesque...Always skirting the edge of truth and falsehoods.
                        Is he suppose to be in uniform marching with this group? one answer.. yes, if this is Patriotic parade. All politicians love parades.
                        Is he suppose to be a uniformed Chief Petty Officer? Don't know for sure.   Cap device as shown is for a petty officer.
                        Can see the collar device. Officer would have shoulder boards through.
                         Nothing on his sleeve or shoulder to tell. I can't see the metals well enough to tell if they are correct . 
                         Uniform coat ill fitting. Cap not normally worn at that angle. Metals not arranged properly.
                        Any comments.
                               
AN INSULT TO EVERY MILITARY SERVICEMAN, PAST AND PRESENT !!!
Check out the phony guy dressed up in a rented uniform and phony medals!!! Unbelievable!! Only the Clintons!!

SHAME!!!

Now this is even low for the Clintons. Using an actor during a Memorial Day parade to make it look like she has military supporters!!! 

Uniform is jacked, ribbons and medals are wrong, cover (hat) is tilted and has the badge for a Chief, NOT an officer.  Last but not least,
US Military personnel are not allowed to wear our uniform to any political event in support of a candidate!
Try again Hillary!

High Notes for 09-01-2016 – the silver ring
 
  While looking through a small man's jewelry box that I've owned for over fifty years, you know...a four by seven-inch stylized vinyl-covered box to carry tie tacks, old coat buttons and small political buttons.  The box is where I've kept a few pennies, a broken arrowhead, a small stone from an early Indian necklace, a set of quarter-sized brass dress U. S. Army uniform buttons.  One with a spread-winged eagle perched atop a ship's wheel encircled with 13-stars and a sword and house key...the symbol of the National Guard.  The other button, is to be worn on the other collar with the raised letters "U. S.".  The buttons have pointed prongs-through-fabric which allowed the attachment that you could secure with round squeezable doo-dads from the back. Every soldier wears the two brass badges on their collars for unit designation from Private up to General.
     And among the other memorable items of my past, I found a small silver polished band to be worn as a finger ring.  It has the look of a plain gold wedding band, but is made of coin silver.  Then I remembered that my life-long friend, Val Minch made the ring and gave it to me 57 or so, years ago, when he came home on leave from Norfolk, Virginia, his ship's home port.  Val joined the U. S. Navy in 1957 and became an E-5, repairman maintenance machinist "P-2", which is the highest designation one can get as a machinist.
     After I found the ring last week, I telephoned Val at work in his home office where he holds forth as an international hardwood lumber broker.  He sells North American oak, hickory, maple, poplar, and other hardwood species to manufacturers around the world, by the railroad container-car-load, and ships them by sea.
     Val said "I wondered whatever happened to some of those rings I made so many years ago.  The one I gave you started out as a silver half-dollar coin, and I made it by first drilling it to size, then using the concave side of a dinner spoon to hammer away at it to shape it into a ring.  I had to use fine tooth files, and fine-grained emery paper to finish, shape and polish them.
     When I found the ring it would fit only my pinky-finger on my left hand, and at that, it was still less than tight.  I've been wearing it though, as a side-ring to my silver Native-Indian made, Thunderbird-design ring, which I bought many years ago among a load of antiques.  On Monday August 22nd, I was standing and peeing into the toilet at Nora Netzer's home, and after I finished relieving my kidneys, the small ring fell off my hand and into the toilet.  I had to think quickly and decided I could always wash my hand, so I plunged my hand into the commode bowl and retrieved the ring.
     It had been a long time since I'd seen the ring, and I don't remember wearing it because at the time Val gave it to me, I was working as a machine operator at the Ford Motors plant on Red Bank Road, Cincinnati, and jewelry of any kind was forbidden for safety reasons.
     If nothing more, I can now show Val my appreciation for his effort, and if I’m asked about the ring, I have good story telling fodder.
