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.

Sitting in Church ... Thabnks Denison friend!


Sitting in church
In church, while reverently preparing for the service, I heard a sweet
little old lady, sitting next to me in the pew, quietly whispering a prayer.
It was so sweet and sincere that I just had to share it with you.

She said,
"Dear Lord, this has been a tough two or three years ...

You have taken my favorite actor Patrick Swayze,

my favorite musician Michael Jackson,

my favorite TV salesman Billy Mays,

my favorite actress Elizabeth Taylor,

my favorite singer Whitney Houston,

my favorite announcer Dick Clark and now

my favorite queen of disco Donna Summers.


I just wanted you to know that my favorite politician is Barack Obama.

Amen."

Correction on Fox News- o says- I am a muslim

Correction on Fox News
Remember all the notices we kept getting to watch Fox News on Sunday at 9PM? This is the clip that got pulled due to pressure from the Whitehouse.
WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO WATCH FOX 2-3 TIMES ON CERTAIN DATES ABOUT "OBAMA", BUT IT WAS NEVER AIRED. BE SURE ALL YOUR FRIENDS SEE. It runs ten (10) minutes so don't let the breaks fool you. I trust that it will stay on the Internet long enough for you to view.
Obama Puts Heat on Fox News to Prevent Hannity from airing this piece.
This is a video that Sean Hannity of FOX News has been trying to show that we are told has consistently been blocked by the Obama Administration for several weeks.
Watch it now before it gets pulled from the internet!

Customer Service- SamKat

Electronic yuppies-

I think you guys and obama had just as well bury us older than 70 seniors.

We cannot keep up with your convoluted systems.  the old phones with real live operators were so helpful.  No longer are there real live English speaking customer service representatives.

I am stubborn as my declares all Kegleys are.  I admit it.  I should have given up years ago when it comes to electronic gizmos.

Old acronyms were KISS (Keep it simple, Stupid) and KISMIF (Keep it simple make it fun) back when I worked as an engineer.  I hope to make 80 in November, but customer service, particularly by telephone frustrates the Heck out of me!

I, stubbornly, bought a new smart phone on the advice of a technical guru of mine.  It is Straight Talk from Walmart.  That was Monday.  I have been on the phone with their reps in the Phillipines for at least two and a half hours of frustration since and I am still not activated with them.

Marketing principles say to make it easy for potential customers to use your product (s).

Sorry Yuppies.  It doesn't seem to work that way anymore!!

Still hoping to use the smart phone.  I guess I am just not old enough or smart enough.

Diane Feinstein criticizes WH on leaks

Feinstein: White House Leaked Some Classified Info

The Democratic leader of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Monday that the White House appears to be responsible for some leaks of classified information.
"I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks," Sen. Dianne Feinstein told a World Affairs Council forum.
The California lawmaker said she was certain that President Barack Obama, who receives a daily intelligence briefing, isn't disclosing secret information, but she was uncertain about others at the White House. "I don't believe for a moment that he goes out and talks about it," she said.
Republicans have criticized the disclosures, arguing that members of the Obama administration were intentionally leaking classified material to enhance the president's reputation in an election year. Attorney General Eric Holder has appointed two attorneys to lead the investigation into who leaked information about U.S. involvement in cyberattacks on Iran and about an al-Qaida plot to place an explosive device aboard a U.S.-bound airliner.
That hasn't satisfied some Republicans who have pressed for a special prosecutor.
Last Thursday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified in closed session before the House Armed Services Committee on the leaks. The committee's chairman, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., told reporters afterward that he did not believe the Pentagon was responsible for recent national security leaks.
"I feel pretty secure they were not" from the Pentagon, McKeon said after the three-hour hearing.
Separately, the Pentagon announced that it was taking new steps to try to clamp down on leaks of classified information, saying unauthorized disclosures undermine national security and in some cases rise to the level of criminal acts.
Pentagon press secretary George Little said Panetta has ordered him to join the Pentagon's top intelligence official in monitoring all "major, national level" news media reports for unauthorized disclosures of secrets.
Panetta also reiterated guidance issued by his predecessor, Robert Gates, that the Pentagon's public affairs office should be the only source of defense information provided to the news media in Washington.
Feinstein said her committee would meet Tuesday to craft legislation that would address the leaks of classified information, including additional authorities and rules to stop the leaks.
Her comments came as U.S. officials said the number of people with access to some of the nation's most carefully guarded secrets topped 4.86 million in 2011.
That's up from 4.7 million people granted security clearances the year before, likely reflecting new hires approved by Congress as part of expanded clandestine operations in the Obama administration.
The latest intelligence report to Congress also corrects previous figures, to reflect new guidance that everyone with access to such information be counted — even if they never used the data or no longer hold a job that requires the clearance.
Clearance levels range from confidential to secret to top secret. Top secret clearances in 2011 numbered 1.4 million, down slightly from 1.43 million the year before.
