The Banks of Crap Creek are rising again as it runs from Maryland right through DC!!!Just read where Rep. Elijah Cummings (D. Maryland) said that he thinks it’s “…a Republican “witch hunt,” which he believes (Benghazi hearings) are intended to tarnish the reputation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.” Further he said it will be his job “…TO DEFEND THE TRUTH”! Brother! Cummings wouldn’t know the truth if his limo had a head-on collision with it! Press on Republicans because it always did “make a difference” then and now! I’m also greatly concerned about our embassy in Baghdad…will it be protected or not…and who’s in charge. The $750 million facility employees 15,000 people! There are 5,500 Americans currently living and working in Baghdad. By the way…has anyone seen Kerry in the last week or so?

…OMG…I almost can’t take it…the Obama White House HAS gone rogue!!!

 It’s Friday…and Friday The 13^th at that with a full moon thrown in; it has not disappointed! Just reported: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claimed Friday (to the House Ways and Means Committee), that it cannot produce Lois Lerner’s emails that she wrote and received to the White House and other administration departments due to a supposed COMPUTER CRASH. Those departments with the now “lost” messages would be “Treasury and Justice Departments, the Federal Election Commission, and (various) Democratic offices”!!! This ranks right alongside the 18½ minutes of Nixon tapes that were erased in 1973. It is time to assign a special prosecutor!!!

Man! When you think it just can’t get any worse, BO finds a way to make things a whole lot worse. It is now being reported by reliable media that a whole bunch of people knew about the planned Bergdahl swap with the Taliban…EXCEPT of course anyone in the U.S. Congress! Scores of Qatar Government officials knew about it and it’s reported that more than 50 people in the White House knew that the illegal swap was coming down…and it may be that even Hillary Clinton was told a week prior to the exchange. But BO will never admit to that one! This is egregious! When is congress (and American) going to reign this self anointed King BO!!!

Suggestion to all you Repubs out there…first…quit crying about Cantor…he cooked his own goose. If he wants to stay in politics, let him run for dog catcher in Farmville! Second: cancel the 2016 presidential convention (no city has even been selected yet) you’ll save a huge amount of valuable time and lots of money…and probably a ton of bad press as well. Select Chris Christy as your candidate right now so he can immediately begin beating the hell out of the former first lady…she’s so vulnerable! And here’s an old but good adage: The best defense is a good (strong and early) offence…Get to it now or we’ll be saddled with the Loony Left until 2024!!!

Hey Repubs…do you get it now?…(somehow I doubt it). If you don’t, you soon will…just like Eric Cantor found out last night! Conservatives, TP members or not, want their conservative and constitutional views represented…NOT ignored or compromised. I’ll bet there were a whole big bunch of non-TP member votes in those VA. ballots yesterday! Boehner…either find your balls or your next!

It amazes me…no, make that angers me…which I expect is no surprise here. According to the media, voter turnout for the recent election has been tallied at 18.4 percent…it is expected to rise slightly to 22-24 percent when the final ballots are counted. Kaleephorneeah boasts nearly 39 million people with 17.7 million registered voters…and 18% percent turnout for an election? WTF! Where are all those who bitch about our government and those elected to represent us? And where are all those who bitched about higher taxes? Watching the returns on Tuesday night, I noticed all over the state, a very high percentage of tax and bond issues being passed and by 60 percent or more…WTF!

Is negotiating with terrorists the same as making concessions with them? How does one successfully negotiate a resolution without making concessions? I’m “cornfused”! Also, how is it that BO “negotiates” with terrorists and won’t even talk to Congress…particularly if they are Republicans? This logically leads to the last question…If the Taliban were Republicans, would BO have ever even talked to them?

A big congrats goes out to Krishna Abrams for her election to the post of Solano County District Attorney. Those of us in the know, believe she will bring much needed stability and integrity to the DA’s office. The present DA worked hard over three years to compile the worst conviction record in the entire state of California; Krishna could do better without much effort!

This is to all of the whiny Liberals out there who waste my time reading your impalpable BS about the greedy Republicans…which reminds me of a small child who stomps his feet because he didn’t get the purple Popsicle!

Libs…please take note…Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad owns all of the rail lines in the U.S. connecting to western Canada on which they haul 80%+ of the crude oil from Canada to the Midwest and Texas. They also charge other Short Line railroads a fee to use their tracks. BNSF charges $30 per barrel to haul the oil! The Keystone Pipeline would cost $10 by the U.S. State Department’s estimates. BNSF is owned by Berkshire Hathaway whose chairman is Warren Buffet. In the last two election cycles, Buffet gave extensively to Democrat causes and candidates including $40,000+ to the Obama re-election campaign in 2012. He also bundled and hosted numerous fundraisers for Obama.

And if anyone believes the pipeline isn’t being blocked by BO on Buffet’s behalf…you’re nuts. Buffet could stand to lose $2B+ a year if the pipeline goes in and he pockets the same amount every year the pipeline is delayed. This is crony capitalism at it’s finest and what is making true conservatives angry at this government and the capitalist system…but it’s NOT the Republicans who are doing it…it’s THE DEMOCRATS!!!

Vacation is over! It’s time to get going again. So like it or not, here it is!

…guess I just don’t get it…again! BO presented his budget (2 months…actually 9 weeks late) to congress this week. And guess what? He wants to slice Social Security payments to us old, used up citizens (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/seniors-see-smaller-social-security-095900145.html)! The young people who mostly voted for him, probably don’t give a darn as most of them figure there will be nothing there when they get there anyway! Now who’s pushing Grandma over the cliff?

My resentment for this is proposed lunacy is particularly acute because in my situation, I’ve been paying into the Social Security fund since I was 14 years old! And as a small business owner and employee of my own company for the past 24 years, I essentially pay double (employer and employee).

These cuts are proposed for this year and come at the very bad time for seniors in our economy. And as you read, the cuts increase for years to come. Since before this man was elected President, interest rates paid on savings accounts or for that matter most other investments, have been at a historic lows! Most people don’t see this part of the scenario…savings interest rates at 1% or below, particularly cripples seniors as their “investments” are mostly low risk and mostly in savings accounts and bonds which are also yielding next to nothing. One might look at this as an income penalty or tax because it’s Federal Reserve that influences and sets interest rates.

Our truly inept POTUS really shows he doesn’t understand much about this country, the economy and what it might take to fix it. As far as I’m concerned he’s an extreme Socialist of the worst kind. While he entertains himself and his supporters with White House concerts, golf weekends and rounds of basketball with a privileged few, older, retired average Americans, struggle to pay their basic costs to exist!

I’m not the sharpest knife in the economic drawer myself, but it seems pretty safe to say that cutting into most seniors’ meager income, is quite a short-sighted way to solve this problem. But of course, most seniors will be “out of the system” altogether in just a few years and their anguished cries will no longer be heard!

Guess…I just don’t get it…once again!
