  • LET'S TALK ABOUT CHARACTER

    What do we know about Barack Obama? 

    • Are people of questionable character attracted to him or is he drawn to questionable characters? 
    • Is he using people or are they using him? 
    • Is he able to identify who to trust and share confidences with, or who not to be advised and guided by? 

    The puzzle pieces are falling into place, and a chilling picture is emerging.  Read this list and make up your own mind.

    * In Hawaii, Obama had a relationship with Frank Marshall Davis who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA. In 'Dreams From My Father', Obama refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank. "Obama developed a close relationship with Davis, in his own words "almost like a son",  listened to his "poetry" and received advice on his life's direction.

    * Barack Obama’s mentor and long-time minister Jeremiah Wright called upon God to “damn America .” Wright also preached that America deserved the 9/11 attacks, and claimed that the US government created AIDS in order to kill black people.

    * Obama worked closely for several years with the former Weather Underground bomber Bill Ayers. Ayers hosted the fundraiser that launched Obama’s political career with his wife Bernardine Dohrn, also a communist and a former terrorist.

    * As an attorney in Illinois , Obama represented ACORN, the radical community organizing group that set the stage for the 2008 financial crisis by pressuring banks to make high-risk mortgage loans.  Obama later sent millions of dollars to ACORN while working with Bill Ayers at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.  In 2007 Obama promised ACORN members that if elected, he would be “calling all of you in” during the post-election transition “to help us shape the agenda.” His presidential campaign paid the group more than $800,000 in 2008. ACORN is currently being investigated for election fraud in more than a dozen states.

    * Obama’s primary financial backer in Chicago, political fixer Tony Rezko, was convicted of 16 felonies including fraud, money laundering and abetting bribery.

    * Archived documents of the Marxist Chicago “New Party” show that Obama was a member in the 1990’s. His campaign had previously denied any connection.

    * In 2006, Obama spent six days in Kenya campaigning for Marxist presidential candidate Raila Odinga. His Senate staff coordinated donations to Odinga’s campaign totaling nearly $1 million. Obama declared at numerous rallies that Kenyans “are now yearning for change.” Meanwhile, Odinga signed a declaration of understanding with Muslim leaders recognizing Islam as Kenya ’s “only true religion.” After Odinga’s defeat, his thugs started riots that killed at least 1,000 people and destroyed or damaged 800 Christian churches. More than 50 people, mostly women and children, were burned to death in a single church while men with machetes attacked anyone who tried to escape. Kenya ’s elected government was then forced to accept a “power-sharing” agreement with Odinga’s party.

    * Obama has been praised by Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega, and the terrorist group Hamas. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan says Obama is “the Messiah.”

    Who is Barack Obama?  America ’s “mainstream” media organizations have gone out of their way to ignore or dismiss these disturbing facts, protecting the flawed candidate they favor – a man who could not pass the background check required to obtain a basic security clearance.

    Instead, they spend their time investigating the life of “Joe the Plumber,” and "Sarah Palin's Wardrobe" to deflect attention away from Barack Obama’s revealing promise to “spread the wealth around.”

  • DOLPHIN RINGS

    This video is of dolphins playing with silver colored rings which they have the ability to make under water to play with. It isn't known how they learn this, or if it's an inbred ability.

    The dolphin does a quick flip of its head and a silver ring appears in front of its pointed beak. The ring is a solid, donut shaped bubble about 2-ft across, yet it doesn't rise to the surface of the water. The dolphin then pulls a small silver donut from the larger one. Looking at the twisting ring for one last time a bite is taken from it, causing the small ring to collapse into a thousands of tiny bubbles which head upward towards the water's surface. After a few moments the dolphin creates another ring to play with. There also seems to be a separate mechanism for producing small rings, which a dolphin can accomplish by a quick flip of its head.

    An explanation of how dolphins make these silver rings is that they are "air-core vortex rings". Invisible, spinning vortices in the water are generated from the tip of a dolphin's dorsal fin when it is moving rapidly and turning. When dolphins break the line, the ends are drawn together into a closed ring. The higher velocity fluid around the core of the vortex is at a lower pressure than the fluid circulating farther away. Air is injected into the rings via bubbles released from the dolphin's blowhole. The energy of the water vortex is enough to keep the bubbles from rising for a reasonably few seconds of play time.

  • SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND

    On his way to lunch Bill passed a homeless guy with a sign that read 'Vote Obama, I need the money.'  . . . . Bill laughed.

    Once in the restaurant, his server had on an 'Obama 08' tie, again Bill laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.

    When the bill came he decided not to tip the server and explained to him that he was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept.  He stood there in disbelief while Bill told him that he was going to redistribute his tip to someone who he deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside.  The server swore and stormed away angrily.

    Bill went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as he'd decided the homeless guy could use the money more. 

    At the end of this rather unscientific redistribution experiment you have to conclude:

    • The homeless guy was grateful for the money he didn't earn,
    • The waiter was pretty angry that his money was given away (reasoning he had worked for it)
    • The actual recipient deserved the money more than the waiter.


    I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

    IS REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH A GREAT IDEA..............or is it just welfare?

  • 73 YEARS OLD AND PLAYING BASKETBALL

    Ken Mink missed out on his second year of junior college basketball 53 years ago when he joined the Air Force. It's something he's always regretted. Today, he's one of the Roane State Raiders and, at 73, possibly one of the oldest collegiate players in history.

    I don't know how he does it.  Some days, I have a hard time just walking.


  • A year and a half ago our granddaughter Melanie was in a high school production of "The Sound Of Music". 

    We recently found this video on YouTube of her singing part of the song "I Am Sixteen, Going On Seventeen" and we have no idea who posted it. Thanks to this unknown poster, we get to enjoy her performance again and again.

  • DID BUSH SAVE THE WORLD FROM SADDAM?

    SADDAM HUSSEIN WAS BUILDING
    WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

    On July 5, 2008, the Associated Press (AP) released a story titled: Secret U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq .  The opening paragraph is as follows:

    The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program - a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium - reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

    We have been hearing from the far-left for more than five years how, "Bush lied."  Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam's yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy.

    It appears that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq .  They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself, for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it.  It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand berms surrounding the site.

    Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam's nuclear ambitions, one would think the mainstream media would report the story?  Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked it up and broadcast it worldwide, but they didn't.

    The American people need to hear the truth about Saddam's uranium.

  • THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY

    Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada
    for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.

    They failed and it closed.

    Now we are trusting the economy of our country to a pack of nit-wits who
    couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze?

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    For all the time I've been driving you would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face, but I didn't...and I bet you didn't either...

    Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station wondered...mmm, which side is the gas filler cap? My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car! Well, I'm going to share a little secret.

    If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump ? The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump? If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo).  Sometimes the pump will have an arrow pointing to the correct side.  It's that simple!



    Don't feel dumb, just go out and share the world's best kept auto secret with your friends.

  • JOHN McCAIN SINGS STREISAND

    This is funny no matter which side you're on.

    But it's funnier if you're a conservative.
