Hello It's been some time since Nov.14, my last
posting. No excuses, just haven't got it
together. I will be making one more
posting this year and then after the first of the year I will start my 6th
year. Hopefully, with a renewed
vigor. There is a great deal happening
that I think you need to know about that you may have missed.
One little tid-bit is a report in the "The
Week" magazine. For the first time
in a decade, Lawmaker in Washington
agreed this week to a long term transportation bill that would fund highways
and other transit systems for the next five years. It would be the first highway bill to cover
more than 2 years since 2005. It would
provide $205 billion for highway improvement and $48 billion for bridges and
railways.
The $300 billion bill comes just days before
transportation spending was to expire. THERE IS JUST ONE PROBLEM.
AS OF THIS WRITING IT HAS NOT BEEN PASSED BY EITHER THE HOUSE OR THE
SENATE. Hopefully they will do
so. However, I fear there will be some
unacceptable amendments attached to it when it comes up for a vote.
Dec. 7, 1941.
Most of you out there, if not all of you, were not
around here at that time. I was here and
I lived it and on into the U.S.
Marine Corps after that. 9-11-01 is what
most of us remember today. While there
is no question as to the devastating blow to our country 9-11 was, it really
didn't compare to the devastation of 12-7-41.
As President Roosevelt said, "It is a date to remember in
infinite." We praise God for those
who gave their lives on 9-11-01 and we praise God for those who gave their
lives on 12-7-41 and the years that followed in WWII.
~~~
P.S. I HAVE JUST VIEWED THE MOST GROTISQUE THING I
HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
A WHITE BUST OF
THE PREVIOUS VICE PRESIDENT
DICK CHENEY.
He was honored at a ceremony
last Thursday and I honor President Bush Sr. who did not attend and said "Send
my best regards to old Iron Ass."
The Bust is at the Capital
and it is reported that it was paid for by American people. I say shame on those who gave for such an
unwarranted cause. He should be in jail.

San Bernardino Shooting was the
351st Mass Shooting this Year
Authors: Alexandra Jacobo | NationofChange
| NewsAnalysis
Published:
December 2, 2015
Wednesday, December 2 was the 334th day of 2015; the San
Bernardino shooting that took place was the 351st mass shooting of 2015
— incredibly, the second mass shooting in our nation to take
place that day. That means that there have been more mass shootings in the
U.S.
than there have been days…
Earlier in the day on Wednesday, in Savannah , George, one person was killed and
several more were injured in a mass shooting — a mass shooting
being defined as an event in which 4 or more people are killed or injured
by gunfire.
14 people were killed in the shootings in San Bernardino , with at least 17 others
injured. The violence took place at Inland Regional
Center for people with
disabilities. Three suspects fled the scene. Two of them, a man and a woman
dressed in tactical gear with assault-style rifles and handguns, were killed in
a shootout with police. A third suspect
has been taken into custody, but it is unclear whether he took part in the
attack. According to some reports there
was a dispute at a holiday gathering at the center,
where at least one person involved left. It is not confirmed whether or not
those involved in the dispute were involved in the shootings or whether there
is a connection at all.
According
to the Washington
post, there have now been 351 mass shootings so far this year. Some days have had none, where others have had
up to 5 in a single day.
The shooting in San Bernardino is
the largest mass shooting since Sandy Hook in
2012, where 26 children and teachers were killed.
Many believe gun violence has gotten out of hand. A special investigation by Mother Jones shows
that gun violence costs more than $700 per American per year. Each gun death
averages $6 million and each gun injury requiring hospitalization costs about
$583,000. That is more than we spend on obesity, and almost as much as we spend
on Medicaid:

Donald Trump has gone full
NAZI -
AND IF
THE GOP DOESEN'T
Re-pudiate it they OWN it.
If the
Republican Party is ever going t o wake up and shut down this misanthropic
racist it had better be now. Donald
Trump's latest hateful howling has crossed a line of indecency that is impossible
to ignore. And Godwin be damned, he is
articulating Nazi rhetoric on a scale not seen since the originals.
Just
yesterday Trump told Yahoo News
that he would support the development of databases and other systems to track
and monitor people in the United
States on the basis of their religion. He did not rule out forcing Muslims to have
identifying papers or badges. Perhaps he
would make them wear a star and crescent in the manner that Hitler's Nazis made
Jews wear the Star of David. From
Yahoo...
Yahoo News asked Trump whether this level of tracking might
require registering Muslims in a database or giving them a form of special
identification that noted their religion. He wouldn’t rule it out.
"We’re
going to have to — we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very
closely," Trump said when presented with the idea. "We’re going to have to look at the
mosques. We’re going to have to look
very, very carefully."
This
grotesque policy position fits nicely with his prior statement that he believes
it may be necessary to close mosques in America .
He said that "there’s absolutely no choice"
because "some really
bad things are happening." Apparently one of the "really bad things"
isn't the assault on our Constitution's First Amendment guaranteeing freedom of
religion. But that's not all, Trump also
told Yahoo News that...
"We’re going to have to do things that we never did before. And some people are going to be upset about
it, but I think that now everybody is feeling that security is going to
rule," Trump said. "And
certain things will be done that we never thought would happen in this country
in terms of information and learning about the enemy. And so we’re going to have to do certain
things that were frankly unthinkable a year ago."
So, "security is going to
rule." And I'll bet the
trains will run on time. And speaking of
trains, this is the same man who wants to round up 11,000,000 Latinos for mass
deportation. How he proposes to do that
is a mystery, but it wouldn't be surprising if it involved boxcars and
concentration camps. He approvingly
cited the 1950's "Operation Wetback" as a model
for his plan. That operation resulted in
dozens of deaths and was abandoned as a failure that violated humane standards.
In the
short history of Trump's campaign he has gotten away with saying repulsive
things and demonstrating overtly bigoted behavior. Even when he disparaged solidly conservative
principles like the military sacrifices of John McCain, or making a mockery of
the practice of Christianity, his supporters remained faithful. And despite all of that, he still clings to
the top of the polls in the Republican presidential primary. There has been an astonishing and troubling loyalty
by Republicans who seem unfazed no matter how disgusting or ignorant he gets.
And it isn't just his supporters. Other
GOP voters, pundits, and candidates, are reluctant to take him on.
If
that continues it will be impossible for the GOP to separate themselves from
his repugnant views. And the same goes
for Fox News, who flagrantly promote Trump's campaign.
They are already tied to him on most
other issues with which they agree completely. But if they don't want to
forever be associated with the outright appeal to the policies of the Nazis,
they need to renounce him and cease supporting him.
~~~
What
if he's actually playing the Republican party?
There’s
no other logical way to explain him saying this:
"The
other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when
you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid
yourself. When they say they don't care
about their lives, you have to take out their families."
Trump
issued this nugget in a Wednesday morning appearance on, what else, Fox & Friends. I don’t think I need to explain why this idea
is—to quote Professor
Dumbledore—“beyond the realms of what we might call 'usual evil.'"
There’s
no way Trump ever imagined he’d still be the frontrunner at this point,
relatively close to actual votes being cast. To be sure, he has spouted other outrageous
things since entering the race, but this is the one that finally convinced me
that he doesn’t want to be president. As
Trump’s statements have grown excessively more radical, this idea has grown
more plausible in my mind. I imagine him
sitting in the back of his limo, thinking to himself: What the hell do I have to say to make these
idiots NOT support me?
If
saying that as president he’d issue the order to murder people who have
committed no crime—actions that any sane person can see would only increase
support for ISIS and for anti-U.S.
terrorism—won’t turn Republican voters against Trump, then what will? Does he
have to say he’d cut out the heart of an infant Syrian refugee and eat it on
live television? Would he actually have to do it? In terms of sheer depravity, there’s not a
whole lot of room left between that and what he said today.
More
important than whether he’s actually trying to sabotage himself by espousing
this kind of rhetoric is whether there are enough Republican voters out there
who will let him.

VETERAN WALL STREET ADVISOR
|
The
European Union is on the verge of imminent financial and cultural collapse ...
ISIS
is setting up permanent governments in Syria and Iraq and laying the groundwork
for more, even bloodier attacks against Europe and the United States ...
The United States
has lit the fuse on a debt bomb capable of blowing our entire nation to pieces
...
And
our leaders are all in Paris
chatting about the weather.
Please
don’t misunderstand: I am NOT saying there’s anything wrong with discussing
climate change — but now even folks who are most worried about it are beginning
to ask if these other issues are far more urgent.

BERNIE
SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT
Floyd -
Here’s the truth: backed by almost one
million contributions, we raised more money last FEC fundraising quarter than
every Republican campaign, and just as much as Hillary Clinton.
Our success shocked the political
media and set off alarm bells among the corrupt corporate class used to buying
elections with little resistance. As a result, our opponents have ratcheted up
their big-dollar super PAC fundraising.
But much to our surprise, one super
PAC plans to start spending money in support of our campaign. They should spend their money somewhere else. We do not want their help.
Our campaign is funded by people who
have had enough of corrupt billionaires and super PACs buying our elections. The political media thinks we’re naive for
taking this approach. But we will prove
them wrong.
Contribute to Bernie 2016 and send a powerful message that
you have had ENOUGH of billionaires buying our democracy.
~~~
If the good Lord is willing, and I sure hope he is,
and the creek don't rise, I'll be back with you again one more time this year
and start my sixth year shortly after the first of the year.
God Bless You All
&
God Bless the United States of America
Floyd
