Famous Presidential Lies ... Thx Sarah R & Friends!

Famous Presidential Lies  Written by, To The Point News   LBJ:  We were attacked (in the Gulf of Tonkin)   Nixon: I am not a crook GHW Bush: Read my lips - No New Taxes Clinton: I did not have sex with that woman... Miss Lewinski   GW Bush: Iraq has weapons of mass destruction   Obama: I will have the most transparent administration in history. The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs. I am focused like a laser on creating jobs. The IRS is not targeting anyone. It was a spontaneous riot about a movie. If I had a son. I will put an end to the type of politics that "breeds division, conflict and cynicism". You didn't build that! I will restore trust in Government. The Cambridge cops acted stupidly. The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk It's not my red line - it is the world's red line. Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.  We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest. I am not spying on American citizens. Obama Care will be good for America. You can keep your family doctor. Premiums will be lowered by $2500. If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan. It's just like shopping at Amazon. I knew nothing about "Fast and Furious" gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels. I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups. I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi. I have never known my uncle from Kenya who is in the country illegally and that was arrested and told to leave the country over 20 years ago. And, I have never lived with that uncle.  He finally admitted (12-05-2013) that he DID know his uncle and that he DID live with him. And the biggest one of all: "I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America."   I believe we have a winner!

High Notes 02-13-2014 – my story

 

It was February 8, 1973, 41-years ago, that The Scioto Voice was published for the first time. If I were numbering my columns, this week would mark about the two thousand one hundredth time it has been published.  This week’s newspaper is the two thousand one hundred thirty second in the long history of the weekly newspaper.  I say “about” regarding my column number, because I have missed a few publications in which “High Notes” did not appear for various reasons.  I’ve already missed one newspaper without a column in 2014, due to my personal computer foul up.  But, what the hell, I’m 75! 

I plan to continue writing a column for as long as Debbie and Mark Allard, the current owners, keep accepting them.  Now and then somebody will tell newspaper management they read what I write. 

 

I saw Marty Belcher, Raymond Belcher’s son, and he told me that Raymond, now 81, spends a lot of time at home…something about a trick knee???  Ray and his wife, Fern, now deceased, were long time supporters of The Scioto Voice, as owners of the True Value Store in New Boston.  Ray lives on Dickson-Mill Road, in Eastern Scioto County.  Marty inherited his Dad’s gentlemanly, but sweet, and friendly disposition.  Marty is a Union Boilermaker, and works away from Scioto County often.

Speaking of True Value Hardware, Mark Harris, who bought the New Boston store and moved it to Portsmouth when he bought the old Market Street Hardware is one of those “do-anything” guys who is both accomplished as a business owner/craftsman, and talented as a self-taught musician.  He has a shiny black grand piano in his store, and many times when he catches a minute away from customers, he will sit down and pound out some fine old ragtime tune.  I admire anybody with such talent.  Stop in and see Mark.  He is a model railroader too.

 

I heard Sam McKibbin, the venerable WNXT Radio broadcaster, on Monday, February 10, 2014, as I was preparing this column.  Sam was sitting-in for Barb Pratt’s Community Corner, a regular 8:00 a.m. program.  Sam, another 75-year old, (he graduated PHS in 1956) is the do-everything dean of radio broadcasters in Scioto County.  Sam is another of the railroad buffs who happens to live in the town which boasted the Norfolk and Western railroad classification-yard, the largest in the world during the forties and up into the early sixties, Portsmouth. 

Sam was talking with John Lorentz, professor emeritus, at Shawnee State University, another PHS grad, (1958).  They were discussing the two documentary films, John and his son, Nathan, produced and directed, River Voices, and Beyond These Walls.  Beyond These Walls is to be aired on the Public Broadcasting Company, Ohio, Channel 4, this coming Sunday, February 16, at 8:00 p.m. and River Voices is scheduled for the following Sunday, February, 23, at 8:00 p.m.

 

I telephoned Johnny Rowson, one of John Lorentz’s fellow 1958 graduates, to tell him about the two program airings, and John agreed to meet Val Minch and I for dinner this coming Saturday.  In talking to Johnny, I was reminded of the time, he, John Lorentz and I camped-out under the stars in about 1953, in the woods off the horseshoe curve at Timlin Hill.  We got to the site early enough to build a small dam out of field stone, to make a small pond in the wee-stream that ran through the valley.

Johnny reminded me that we had lain in our sleeping bags beside our “pond” that beautiful summer-night, and star-gazed longingly. We saw many shooting stars, and he said we saw a set of four stars that were perfectly placed and seemed to be moving in the sky, like the four dots on one die of a dice set.  The next day Johnny was telling his mother, Lillian, and sister, Carolyn about the stars, and Carolyn said, that one of her co-workers at the Standard Oil Company office, on Gallia Street, had remarked about seeing the same four perfectly aligned stars the same night.  Johnny reminded me that we had soda pop, which had gotten warm, and we walked up to Judge Ralph Stevens house built in the hollow and he gave us some ice, and even gave us a can of potatoes, which we fried for breakfast with our eggs and bacon.

The place where we camped was part of the Louise Micklethwaite property, on which Hugh Callahan had his horse-boarding farm, and where SOMC is now.

 

Dumb A-- ! ... Thx Paul C!

Sooo true

How could anyone do these kinds of things to our young folks?

 
  
 
Barack Obama, at a recent rural elementary school assembly in
South Carolina, asked the audience for total quiet.
 
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every
few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.
 
Then he said into the microphone, 'Children, every time I clap my
hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.'
 
Then, little Darrell, with a proud South Carolina drawl, pierced the
quiet and said: "Well, dumb ass, stop clappin' !”

Political Cover-up 101 ? Thx alma H!

CENTRAL VIEW for Monday, February 10, 2014 by William Hamilton, J.D., Ph.D.

Politics: Cover-up 101? Today, two-thirds of the continental USA is covered with ice and snow. A perfect time to expose the Global-Warming Hoax. But then, why waste precious newspaper space on something which is so chillingly obvious -- even to the most mentally challenged person in the village? (Let’s do clean up the planet. But for the correct reasons.) Instead, here’s a real issue. What would we do right now if America suffered a massive electrical power outage? We could burn wood. But most homes rely on natural gas, or propane, or fuel oil, or coal. To work, all fuel sources need at least a spark of electricity. A back-up generator helps; however, generators run on either gasoline or propane which could eventually run out, leaving even hospital emergency rooms without power. So, while most everyone is praying their electricity stays on, consider this little-known story: Kudos to the Wall Street Journal for picking up last week on what should have been a huge story that only surfaced in print this last December in Foreign Policy Magazine and was now just "outed" again by, Mr. Jon Wellinghof, the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.   At a power station near San Jose, CA, at 12:58. a.m., on April 16, 2013, persons still unknown removed two 75-pound manhole covers, climbed down a ladder, and cut a number of power cables. Shortly thereafter, snipers started firing at the power station’s transformers. One hundred and ten rifle shots were fired into the oil-filled radiators of 17 transformers, spilling 52,000 gallons of oil, causing the over-heating transformers to go off-line very slowly. But timely rerouting of electric lines by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) employees to other power stations prevented a massive power outage across Silicon Valley -- ground zero of America’s computer industry. At first light, investigators found over 100 finger-print free AK-47 shell casings. (Wonder who uses AK-47s?) They found piles of rock, used as firing positions that had to have been put in place in advance of the actual attack. The attackers knew better than to shoot the 17 transformers where they would explode instantly, summoning the police. The slow, but ruinous, draining of the oil-filled radiators provided time for the attackers to slip away undetected.   Last week, Mr. Wellinghof said he was going public now out of concern that national security is at risk and that critical electric-grid sites are not adequately protected. Also, a former official of PG&E said he feared the incident could have been a dress rehearsal for a much larger event. "This wasn’t an incident where Billy Bob and Joe decided, after a few brewskis to come in and shoot up a substation. This was an event that was well thought out, well planned and they targeted key components." When asked, the FBI, which works for Obama-appointee, Attorney General Eric Holder, said, "It does not think a terrorist organization caused the attack." Hello?   Somehow, the equally well-planned attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, comes to mind. Does anyone detect a pattern of playing politics with both domestic and international issues? You decide.

Feinstein gone Postal ... Getting rich through government contacts ... Thx Paul C!

Feinstein / Corruption / GOING POSTAL!!!

Anyone surprised by this?

GOING POSTAL

An excellent example of the need for term limits.

Crony capitalism is alive and well!

 

The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, most of which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the country. The sale of these properties will fetch about $19 billion.

 

A regular real estate commission will be paid to the company that was given the exclusive listing for handling the sales. That company is CRI and it belongs to a man named Richard Blum. Richard Blum is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein and is shown with her in the picture above. (Most voters and many of the government people who approved the deal have not made the connection between the two because they have different last names).

Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune (est. at between $950 million and $1.1 billion!) from these transactions. His company is the sole real estate agent on the sale. CRI will be making a minimum of 3% and as much as 6% commission on each and every sale. All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars.

 

The U.S.P.S. is allowed free and clear, tax exempt use. The only cost to keep them open is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn't even have to pay county property taxes on these subject properties. QUESTION? Would you put your house in foreclosure just because you couldn't afford to pay the electric bill?

 

Well, the folks in Washington have given the Post Office the OK to do it! Worse yet, most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S, an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10 years!

No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of billions of dollars worth of public assets. How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing and lobbying such a sweet deal? Has our government become so elitist that they have no fear of oversight?

 

And it's no mere coincidence that these two public service crooks have different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type of transactions.

Thank God for this pusa ... Thx to 2010 post in one of my my skegley.blogspot.com books!

Thank God for the President! Tuesday, May 11, 2010
"THANK GOD FOR THE PRESIDENT"
"Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid." Ronald Reagan
Subject: THANK GOD FOR THE PRESIDENT!
(Supposedly written by an 82 yr old lady who gives a whole new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing.)
That is right - I will say it "THANK GOD FOR THE PRESIDENT."
1. He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine - Driving a stake thru the heart of Hillary's Presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do. Remember

SamKat Blog-Health, Christian, Seniors, Irony, World Politics 329

when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you! 2. He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - No more Kennedy's trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and freedom are safer tonight. 3. He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! >Dennis Moore had never lost a race - quit >Evan Bayh had never lost a race- quit >Byron Dorgan had never lost a race - quit >Harry Reid - soon to be gone These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be! In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. In just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans. 4. He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well! >Leftist-Liberals tax, borrow and spend - check >Leftist-Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America - check >Leftist-Liberals want to take over the economy - check >Leftist Liberals think they know what is best for everyone - check >Leftist-Liberals aren't happy till they are running your life - check 5. He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year he rejuvenated the Conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans. Name one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America! 6. His amazing leadership has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded or moved off-shore! 7. In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I had ever been in my life. Not of the economy but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends, strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the greatness and wisdom of the American people was flat out wrong. 330 SamKat Blog-Health, Christian, Seniors, Irony, World Politics

8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barak Obama woke up these great Americans! Again I want to say 'Thank you Barak Obama!' This is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed.
Now, if only God be with us...God bless America!!
