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.

Truly Incredible Photos . . . Thx Tom Q!


Oh Well . . . Thx Dr. Ralph H!

Oh well





We had a power outage at our house this morning and my PC, laptop, TV, 
DVD, iPad & my new surround sound music system were all shut down. 

Then I discovered that my mobile phone battery was flat and to top it 
off it was raining outside, so I couldn't play golf. 

I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remembered that this 
also needs power, so I just sat and talked with my wife for a few hours. 


She seems like a nice person.   

Among the richer and famouser . . . Thx Paul C!

Something Strange Happens When Democrats leave office ...
 
Or take the former Republican Speaker of the House from Illinois, Dennis Hastert.  He was a high school teacher and coach before getting into politics, and he paid $3 million in hush money to a former student whom he sexually abused. Where didi he get the money!?!?!?! Being a public SERVANT certainly seems enriching.

Subject: Fwd: Something Strange Happens When Democrats leave office ...

One has to wonder how.....on a government salary.....(consider Harry Reid, who has never held a job outside government ....he certainly didn't earn a fortune as a boxer prior to going into government service??).....ANY politician...Democrat or Republican....somehow manage to become wealthy and live the lives of luxury that materialize for most even while or immediately after they leave office.
 
I suppose one must assume that Congress is the most successful vocational training school in the Universe.
 
(It just seems to be a bit  more hypocritical when you consider and overlay the Democratic theses and rants about "the little man"...or woman, ....."concern" for the working poor, disdain for greedy rich Republicans, etc.....especially since research now shows that the wealthiest and more prolific donors during political campaigns are NOT  "filthy rich Republicans"....but Democrats.
 
You CAN make this up.....but you don't have to.
 
 
 
 
 
Something Strange Happens When Democrats Leave Office
 
 

 
As they prepare for their exodus from the White House, the Obamas are about to join another rarified club that of the ruling liberal elite class owning multiple ultra-expensive homes in highly exclusive communities that none in America can afford save the one-percenters. The very same one-percenters whom they rant and rail against as being the greedy, ego-centric millionaires who simply have too much.
 
 
Following the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton who (despite Hillary's claim earlier this year that they left White House dead broke ) somehow managed to educate their daughter at Stanford, Oxford, NYU and Columbia; acquire a $1.7 million estate in Chappaqua and a $2.85 million mansion in Georgetown) and Bernie Sanders who shortly after ending his 2016 presidential bid bought his third home a $600,000 lakefront vacation house on Lake Champlain. Barack and Michelle have real estate designs of their own.
 
 
Earlier this year it was revealed that upon his leaving the presidency the Obamas will not be returning to Chicago they will insted be moving into a $6 million, 8,200-square foot, 9-bedroom 12-bathroom mansion in Kalorama, one of the District's most posh, desirable and exclusive neighborhoods in the heart of one of America's wealthiest zip codes.
 
 
With daughter Malia off to college that leaves just Barack, Michelle and Sasha until the younger daughter graduates high school in 2018. Nothing says I care about climate change, energy consumption and our CO2 footprint more than keeping an 8,200-square foot house heated and air conditioned year round for just three people. The hypocrisy and do as I say not as I do hubris of all these wealthy climate change proponents is sickening. By the way, the Obama's new home is just two doors down from Clinton campaign manager, John Podesta, who recently lost the most significant campaign of his life.
 
 
But that's not the new news. We have now learned Barack and Michelle are the proud owners of yet another home, this one on the Left Coast.
 
 
As reported byPageSix and other sources, the Obamas have a new home in Rancho Mirage, California. Rancho Mirage is a popular golf getaway which would explain its attraction to the soon-to-be ex-golfer-in-chief. By some counts this makes the Obama's fifth home. Also from PageSix, The Obamas are also said to have bought a holiday getaway in Obama's childhood home state of Hawaii. How many American families own five of anything, let alone houses? Let alone houses in Hawaii that they see once a year or so. Most of us are blessed if able to rent a hotel room or condo on Hawaii once a decade.
 
 
The relocation habits of Democrats leaving office is very interesting.
 
 
For example; having been voted out of office in 2014, Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu didn't return to Louisiana. she instead made her 7,300-square foot $2.5 million Washington DC mansion her new home. Rather than returning to Little Rock, when Bill and Hill left the White House they chose the liberal, ultra-wealthy haven of Chappaqua New York with its average household income of $285,801 and average household net worth of $1,564,366 for their new residence.
 
 
Now it's the Obama's turn. Are they going back to Chicago to live amongst the little people and take their chances becoming yet another statistic (total number shot as of this writing this year: 3,961)? No, not so much.
 
 
They, like the others, are moving into a private, secured community to live in a house big enough for five families where they will host cocktail parties for golf buddies and other millionaire and billionaire friends.
 
 
Yet like the Sanders, Landrieus and Clintons of the world, they will accept exorbitant five-, six-, even seven-figure speaking fees to give speeches about how the rich in our country are steadily pulling away from everyone else and increasingly isolating themselves. About how the concentration of wealth at the top is allowing some Americans to own multiple houses, vacation when and as they please and live lives most of the rest of the country cannot fathom. They'll blather on and on about how the rich are a big part of the problems in our country.
 
 
They will, in part, be right.
