OK…it’s back to the Klinktons! A must read NEWS article in today’s WSJ (Pg. A1, Feb. 20, 2015): CLINTON’S CORPORATE TIES, should be required reading for all U.S. citizens. Just about everyone has heard Meghan Trainor’s hit It’s All About The Bass. For Bill and Hill, their tune should be It’s All About The Moolah! The Klinkton’s are collecting billions for the entities that they control and will fund her run for POTUS.

You also might be surprised at who is paying Hill for her attentions…then again, maybe you wouldn’t. Just some of them that are in the millions of $’s are G.E. (no surprise there), Boeing, Microsoft, Exxon Mobil and our old friend Chevron! And of course each one of these companies trying to influence Hillary the “Princess of Benghazi”, when questioned, give the same B.S. response which is basically that their corporate donations have nothing to do with lobbying Mrs. Clinton ha…ha…ha…what a load of crap!

From  The Guardian: “The charitable foundation run by Hillary Clinton and her family has received as much as $81 million from wealthy international donors who were clients of HSBC’s controversial Swiss bank. Leaked files from HSBC’s Swiss banking division reveal the identities of seven donors to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation with accounts in Geneva. They include Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate and one of the foundation’s biggest financial backers, and Richard Caring, the British retail magnate who, the bank’s internal records show, used his tax-free Geneva account to transfer $1m into the New York-based foundation. Hillary Clinton has expressed concern over growing economic inequality in the US and is expected to make the issue a cornerstone of her widely anticipated presidential campaign in 2016.”

From Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.): “The new allegations that HSBC colluded to help wealthy people and rich corporations hide money and avoid taxes are very serious. If true, the Justice Department should reconsider the earlier deferred prosecution agreement it entered into with HSBC and prosecute the new violations to the full extent of the law.”–in the Financial Times. I say…lets get’r done!

…yesterday BO said in an interview on Vox (whatever that is)…“My first two years in office when I had a Democratic majority and Democratic House and Democratic Senate, we were as productive as any time since Lyndon Johnson,” Obama told interviewer Ezra Klein. “And when the [congressional] majority went away, stuff got blocked.” Personally, I think there was an error in his teleprompter; misspelling “productive”. I bet the word should have been destructive!

The rain poured down here in NorCal most of the day, but it was dry in front of my TV. And as usual the Winter Nat’s put on a great show. I just love how the Drag Racing top association runs their “Big Game” event at the opening of the season. Some will hate me for say this, it was nice that we had to endure only one round of John Force’s monologue as he flubbed his flopper early.

Congrats go to Matt Hagen and his crew for a real comeback in Funnycar…what a job! And a special tip of the hat goes to rookie Pro Stock driver Drew Skillman who tree’d the champ Erica Enders-Stevens on his way to a RU finish…job well done man! Word to the wise…watch out for this guy…looks like he can drive that Camaro!

I can’t sign off without a big nod to Alan Johnson who’s wallet was picked clean just a few weeks ago when Al-Anabi Racing pulled all funding for 2015. But Alan and crew with the help of Santa Rosa’s Guy Fieri and his Knuckle Sandwich company, pulled it together and showed up with one-car Wally winning effort. That effort included the fastest (1,000-ft.) top fuel pass ever…3.700 seconds! And who cares about the NHRA record…they’re in first place and and headed to Arizona…maybe they can pick up a title sponsor on the way.

Yesterday, after watching two-plus hours of the NHRA Winternationals drag race, I agreed to turn over to the Grammy’s for the wife. It all started out pretty well with old timers AC/DC kicked things off with their latest rendition of Highway To Hell. After that, things started to pretty much go to hell! I bailed out for the bedroom set when our POTUS popped up on the screen. No problem with his message, but not one word did he say about the 211 school girls kidnapped by Islamist extremists Boko Haram way back in November of 2014! Man, the guy never misses an opportunity to put his puss in front of the national TV cameras and once again mess up an important message with his exclusionary detailing!

Well…well…well. Seems we’ve got another deer caught in the headlights of truth. Of course by now, everyone has heard about the Brian Williams “boner”! “I just don’t know what caused me to conflate that.” he said. Oh brother, he’s been telling that lie for 12 years! And just in December, Williams signed a reported $10 million five-year contract with NBC. Yep, the same NBC who wouldn’t know the truth if it was a train wreck in front of their NYC headquarters! Brian’s primed to go to MSNBC where they are all liars! Wonder if he and Hillary went to the same Liars class in school!

With a high swipe of his mighty pen, King Obama and his FCC Sheriff Tom Wheeler have inflicted Net Neutrality upon the Kingdom of USA. One pluck on Wheeler’s magic twanger and wallah, the peasants in the land of fresh fruits and nuts, are saved from those huge money-breathing dragons of Creativity and Entrepreneurship. The King and his administration have struck another blow for Totalitarianism. Freedom was nice while it lasted!

I had the indistinct displeasure to hear the chairman of the RNC interviewed on a national radio program this morning. Republicans, with this kind of leadership, if you can call it that, Hillary will be elected while confusion reigns supreme on the other side.

Reince Priebus is the worst representative of the supposed conservative party I’ve ever heard. This guy has no idea what real conservatism is…not one clue. And he won’t even give a straight answer to simple questions. And believe me, the questions were pretty simple too. I don’t blame Mitt one bit for his decision not to run. Give it up Repubs, your best chance is gone, you’ve already lost!

Since the Tea Party is like a snake with no head and squirming around in all directions, maybe it is time for a new political party, one that really is of the people and truly conservative. But I doubt that will happen in my lifetime.

The WSJ has done it again. The best quote yet was on Friday, Jan. 30^th…last line of the “Middle Class Economics” editorial: “No modern President has been worse for the average American incomes than Mr. Obama’s, and his new tax proposals are more of the same.” I’m getting more and more convinced that Liberalism IS a Mental Disorder! BTW for those that don’t know, a “Modern President” is defined as the last 13 of ’em…all the way back to 1933.

Is anyone else feeling like…well…“out of it” when listening to any news? I suppose it might be like Alice in Wonderland…or being in some kind of never-ending drug stupor…I wouldn’t know about the drugs as I have never used them. My drug is racing…always has been and always will be. But back to the subject…sure seems to me that BO has really gone off the rails in 2015 saying things and making statements that are just not true! And yet the college audiences cheer their asses off for him! Does any in the news media check what comes out of this man’s mouth? Is anyone going to step up and put a halt to this craziness? This man is going to get us all killed FCS!
