Too bad this police/constituent hater won his primary tonight.
Paul Gosar defeated Ray Strauss tonight.
No, in the general election, I will not vote for him.
And if he gets a primary opponent in 2 year, yes, I will help his challenger.
And in just bad news, John McCain defeated Kelli Ward.
And if you are an ethnic studies "teacher", you really are a loser because, other than being a teacher, you aren't able to do anything else meaningful with your life.
Katia Iverson and Abdirahman Abdullahi have 90 days together.
For Katia, the case manager, that’s the time she gets to usher newly arrived refugees into life in Minnesota. For Abdi, a father of five who landed here this spring, those days whirl by after years in the languid limbo of an Ethiopian refugee camp.
“What if we’re not ready in three months?” Abdi asks Katia. “Will you just leave us alone?”
Most days, that debate is muffled background noise for Katia at the Minnesota Council of Churches, one of five private resettlement agencies that contract with the federal government. She measures her job in those 90-day increments — time she gets to give Abdi the lay of his north Minneapolis neighborhood and an American grocery store, sign the family up for public benefits, enroll his children in school, connect him with a job counselor and later pull back and give him a taste of fending for himself.http://www.startribune.com/years-with-no-nation-90-days-to-become-a-minnesotan/391310421/
So, they come right off the bus, plane or train and they already getting government benefits without doing an ounce of work.
I don't if you come from Serbia, Ethiopia or China, if you are not ready to work or subsidize yourself the minute you get to your new hometown in the U.S., then just stay home.
These families have not contributed 1 penny in tax money but they get thousands in benefits.
And then they may take jobs from Americans already here.
From Fox News: When it comes to America’s top state fair foods, there’s no doubt that deep-fried is in. From deep-fried butter to deep-friend nachos, battered or breaded, anything with a satisfying crunch has been a hit with crowds across the country for the past few years. This year, a deep-fried cherry Jell-O dish took home the top prize on Sunday at the State Fair of Texas’ annual Big Tex Choice Awards—a contest held ahead of the fair’s opening later this fall. This dish consists of a ball of cherry Jell-O that’s been dipped in batter and then flash fried. The whole dessert is topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream and a cherry. "I never thought a 10-cent bag of Jell-O would put me in the spotlight," said the dish’s creator Ruth Hauntz. At 82-years-old she’s the second oldest concessionaire at the State Fair, according to Dallas Live.http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2016/08/30/deep-fried-jello-o-wins-best-food-at-texas-state-fair-big-tex-choice-awards/
But nothing beats Wisconsin State Fair cream puffs.
I know this late but if you live in Arizona, here are 2 endorsements.
Ray Strauss for Arizona's 4th House of Representatives, District 4. Why? Because he is not Paul Gosar. It's as easy as that.
For U.S. Senate, Kellie Ward. Why? Because John McCain is too old, he is a conservative and because he actually hates conservatives.
Kellie Ward is a true conservative, a family doctor and business woman. She would make a great Senator.
Other than those 2 races, I just don't have enough information on the races.
Everybody is in such a twitter (not the social media thingy) about him not standing for the national anthem. It's all about nothing. Kaepernick is fighting for a quarterback job with the San Fransico 49ers and probably would have lost his job because he pretty much stinks. He has sat down on the 49er bench for the past 3 weeks and didn't say for the past few weeks. He only started yacking when it became apparent that he would be cut, lose his multi million salary and so he spoke out in the hopes he would be so controversial and the liberal media and liberals in San Fran would help save his job. Well, the NFL is ruthless. The 49ers fired coach Jim Harbaugh 1 year removed from going to the Super Bowl. The St. Louis Rams cut Michael Sam, the gay football player, even though there was plenty of support for Sam. So, in reality, Kaepernick is just trying to find a unique way not to get fired by the 49ers and that's all there is to this story.
On Saturday, there was a memorial service for K-9 Amigo, in Kingman AZ.. Amigo died in the line of service rescuing 2 hikers on a mountain in downtown Kingman.
Just before the service, I heard a political commercial from U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar playing, which I thought was extremely in poor taste and downright disrespectful to local law enforcement and to the citizens of Kingman, especially those at the service.
So, on Saturday, I called the Kingman police dept. and Sunday, I called Gosar's Washington D.C. office.
Today, I got a phone call from a member of the Kingman police dept. and he explained they used a loop of memorial service music from Spotify. (https://www.spotify.com/us/).
They explained that the music Spotify has 30 minutes of music followed by a minute or of commercials.
That sounds plausible and so no grudges against the police dept., they didn't realize that Gosar would have played his commercials.
So, my questions to Gosar:
1. Why did you or your campaign choose memorial music to advertise on? Couldn't you have said no to memorial music?
2. Did your campaign target this memorial service, knowing there would be conservative voters in your district? After all, this wasn't a general buy where your campaign ad would go to areas you don't represent, like Accident, MD, Intercourse, PA or Chicken, Alaska. You targeted the Kingman area and so, did you target the memorial service as well?
3. Whose idea was it to advertise on Spotify, targeting Kingman and memorial service. Did you, Rep. Gosar, have any input in this decision? Was it a campaign staffer and if so, what are you going to do about it?
4. Why, Rep. Gosar, didn't you return my phone call today? Do you treat other citizens of the District you represent like this? Or maybe you don't respond to people who don't give your campaign money?(Maybe Hillary like??)
Man up, Paul
Fantasy: What liberals, Black Lives Don't Matter, Hillary, Obama and others think about Chicago and it's violence, death and non-fatal shootings:
Now, this is reality, from the Chicago Tribune: In the weeks since he was shot in the back, 10-year-old Tavon Tanner has undergone several operations to repair the damage from the bullet that tore through his small body and remains lodged between his shoulder and his chest. The fifth-grader is still in the hospital and still in pain, according to his mother Mellanie Washington. He doesn't talk as much and cries more often. Sometimes he'll ask if police have arrested the person who shot him.... Tavon was among more than 400 people shot in Chicago this month. There have been 84 homicides, marking August as the most violent month in the city in 20 years, according to data collected by the Tribune. And there are two more days to go. The city hasn't seen a month with 80 or more homicides since October of 1996, which logged 85. August of that year also saw 85 homicides and June of that year saw 90. Chicago has a lower homicide rate than many other U.S. cities that are smaller in population. But this year, the city has recorded more homicides and shooting victims than New York City and Los Angeles combined, even though the two cities are larger than Chicago's population of roughly 2.6 million. Chicago has recorded 487 homicides and more than 2,800 people shot so far this year, compared to 491 homicides and 2,988 people shot all of last year, according to CPD and Tribune data.http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-august-most-violent-shootings-chicago-20160829-story.html
The problem is that people have gotten use to the murders and mayhem in the inner cities and that shouldn't be. And the Black community, as a whole, needs to understand that there are issues in the Black community and the problems stem for who they are voting for.
The liberals are against school choice and they favor the failed inner city schools. Having worked in inner city schools, I can attest that the Black community and other minorities are getting screwed.
The support poverty pimps like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. There has been enough money sent from the government to the inner cities communities but the money is being eaten away with bureaucrat salaries, middle men, and theft.
And for jobs? There are jobs for hard working people, whether you are Black, White or Hispanic, but stay off the crack and heroin, and stop robbing the dang stores. And when a thug with a gun or threatens cops in other ways, don't cry for the thug, cry for the community and family that raised them.
So, there you go, the difference between fantasy and reality.
Hey, I thought all cops are bad, especially if you listen to Black Lives Don't Matter, Hillary, the racist brothers Al and Jesse and others of their ilk.
Well, look at this video to show that cops are braver than 95% of the population:
Gene Wilder passed away today at the age of 83.
I very much enjoyed his movies including Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Willy Wonka and he was born in Milwaukee.
From Variety:Gene Wilder, who regularly stole the show in such comedic gems as “The Producers,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Young Frankenstein,” “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and “Stir Crazy,” died Monday at his home in Stamford, Conn. His nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman said he died of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. He was 83. His nephew said in a statement, “We understand for all the emotional and physical challenges this situation presented we have been among the lucky ones — this illness-pirate, unlike in so many cases, never stole his ability to recognize those that were closest to him, nor took command of his central-gentle-life affirming core personality. The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn’t vanity, but more so that the countless young children that would smile or call out to him “there’s Willy Wonka,” would not have to be then exposed to an adult referencing illness or trouble and causing delight to travel to worry, disappointment or confusion. He simply couldn’t bear the idea of one less smile in the world. He continued to enjoy art, music, and kissing with his leading lady of the last twenty-five years, Karen. He danced down a church aisle at a wedding as parent of the groom and ring bearer, held countless afternoon movie western marathons and delighted in the the company of beloved ones.” He had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1989.http://variety.com/2016/film/news/gene-wilder-dead-dies-willie-wonka-young-frankenstein-1201846745/
This should not have happened.
From the Baton Rouge Advocate: One of the surviving firefighters wounded in the Sunday morning crash has been released from the hospital, officials said. The firefighter, Mack Beal, was treated at River Parishes Hospital. Another fireman, Nick Saale, remained hospitalized at University Medical Center, where he was airlifted after the crash.
"It’s been a hard morning," said Baileigh Rebowe, a St. John the Baptist Parish spokeswoman. "But in tough times, we do pull together."
The fireman killed in the crash, Spencer Chauvin, had been a paid firefighter since 2004 and a district chief since 2006. As a district chief, Chauvin had been responsible for a 24-hour shift that protected LaPlace.... Criminal charges are pending against the driver of a bus at the center of a traffic crash on Interstate 10 that killed two people on Sunday morning, including a high-ranking St. John the Baptist Parish firefighter, Louisiana State Police said. State Police identified the bus driver as Denis Yasmir Amaya Rodriguez, of Honduras, who turned 37 earlier this month. Amaya — who had no driver's license — admitted to troopers that he was in the United States without necessary immigration documents and was driving a group of largely Honduran workers from New Orleans to Baton Rouge to assist in relief efforts following the devastating flooding there earlier this month, Trooper Melissa Matey said. http://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/news/weather_traffic/article_0244561c-6d29-11e6-ad84-83121a088789.html?sr_source=lift_amplify
Too late now for the fire hief who was killed by an illegal. Maybe the U.S. will start to wake up of the dangers of illegal immigrants.
About a week, 2 injured hikers called the Kingman AZ police department for help. Along with policers, fire department and search and rescue people went up the fairly small mountain.
K-9 Amigo went on the call but began from heat illnesd. The cops rushed Amigo to an animal clinic and then to an animal hospital in Las Vegas where he passed away. They brought K-9 Amigo home with a police and fire dept.
There was a memorial service for Amigo. It was like a fallen police officer memorial service.
The bagpipes played and there was an honor guard. There were about 300 people in attendance including police officers, correction officers, State Troopers, firefighters and the rest were civillians
Here
The only negative when Paul Gossar who decided to play a political commercial during the memorial song. What the hell was he thinking?
Paul Gosar is a U.S. House of Representatives and he is out of Northwest Arizona.
I am sitting at memorial service for K-9 Amigo who died in the line of duty as a police dog for the City of Kingman police dept. More on that later.
So, they are playimg memorial music before the service and out of a sudden comes a campaign ad for Gosar.
How shameful Paul Gosar. What the hell wee you thinking?
From Fox News: At least 13 people were killed and 36 others were wounded when gunmen attacked the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul, Afghan officials said early Thursday. The U.S. military was assisting Afghan forces who responded to the attack, U.S. Army Colonel Michael T. Lawhorn told Fox News. "These advisors are not taking a combat role, but advising their Afghan counterparts." http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/08/25/at-least-12-killed-36-wounded-in-attack-on-american-university-in-afghanistan.html
Why wouldn't the U.S. Army take an active role in killing terrorists?
Did the U.S. soldiers say something like this? "Oh, Mr. Afghan soldier, there is a bad man with a gun who is about to shoot us because he thinks we are infidels. Will you please shoot him and be nice about it?"
Bunch of morons in the Army and White House.
I think we can now say that the staff of the New York Daily "News" have finally gone off the deep end mentally and morally.
Headline from the rag piece of bird dropping paper: HE'S A NAZI PIECE OF WORK! Researcher finds Trump is more of a psychopath than Hitler, other U.S. presidential contenders
The Daily News doesn't say who the author of the hit piece is but the "researcher's" name is Kevin Dutton and he is a pretend researcher at the University of Oxford, who must have very little hiring standards.
And this from the article: Dutton admits that by conducting his pseudoscientific test, he is violating the American Psychiatric Association's golden "Goldwater" rule prohibiting psychonalysis of a subject without treating him or her.
So, the Daily News knows this was not a scientific test but they ran writing anyways.
They say that when you invoke Hitler's name, you know you lost the argument.
I guess Hillary and the rest of left media are getting very nervous about the election and will stoop lower that the nuclear waste dump in Nevada to get at Trump.
Shouldn't this first be reported by members of the U.S. press? From the Daily Mail, United Kingdom:
FBI agents' reports of interviews documenting that Hillary Clinton's stinging humiliation of her friend and mentor Vince Foster in front of White House aides triggered his suicide a week later are missing from where they should be filed at the National Archives, Daily Mail Online has learned exclusively.
On two separate occasions, this author visited the National Archives and Records Service in College Park, Md., to review the reports generated by FBI agents assigned to investigate the 1993 death of Bill Clinton's deputy White House counsel.
On the first visit, archivist David Paynter provided the box of records that he said contained the FBI reports of interviews conducted by FBI agents on Foster's death.
On a second visit, archivist James Mathis provided what he said were those same documents.
While the box contained dozens of FBI reports concerning Foster's death - including interviews with the medical examiner, U.S. Park Police officers, and White House aides about the contents of Foster's office - the reports on Hillary Clinton's role in his death were absent.
After filing a Freedom of Information request with the National Archives, Martha Murphy, the archives' public liaison, reported that she directed a senior archivist to conduct a more thorough review of the relevant FBI files, including those that had not been previously made public in response to FOIA requests.
'He examined all eight boxes but found no interviews by any investigator that detail either a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster or the effects of a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster on Vince Foster's state of mind,' Murphy reported in an email.
'We did not limit ourselves to interviews by the two individuals [FBI agents] you mention.'
While Murphy said the archives searched for 'the records that would be responsive to your request' and concluded that they could not be found, when asked for comment, John Valceanu, the archives' director of communications and marketing, said, 'We do not agree with your conclusion that the records you requested are missing from the National Archives simply because we were unable to locate any responsive records in response to your request.'

Has President Obama done anything that actually helps people or hasn't been a disaster alrady?
From the AP: The tanning salon industry is feeling burned by "Obamacare." Business owners around the country say the little-noticed 10 percent tax on tanning in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul has crippled the industry, forcing the closing of nearly 10,000 of the more than 18,000 tanning salons in the U.S. Experts say the industry is overstating the effects of the "tan tax" and that it has been hurt by other factors, too, including public health warnings about the dangers of tanning and the passage of laws in dozens of states restricting the use of tanning salons by minors.
Nevertheless, some salon owners say the health care overhaul will be on their minds on Election Day. Republicans have vowed to repeal "Obamacare" if they win the presidency and retain control of Congress.
"When I go to vote, I'm supporting candidates who are pro-business and who want less government involvement, less government regulation," said Chris Sternberg, senior vice president of Sun Tan City, a Louisville, Kentucky-based chain with nearly 300 salons in 22 states. The tax, similar to that imposed on tobacco, is meant to discourage a practice known to increase the risk of cancer. The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network says those who use tanning beds before age 35 increase their lifetime risk of melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer, by 59 percent. Congressional experts also projected the tax would raise about $2.7 billion to help expand health coverage for uninsured Americans, but the industry says it actually has raised just a fraction of that. The industry has spent millions lobbying to repeal the tax, which it says destroyed 81,000 tanning jobs. Kim Arnold, a business owner in upstate New York, said she and her husband had to close their third Tropical Tann location last August because of the tax. "Customers would say, 'I'm not paying that,'" she said. "I'd have people walk right out the door." http://bigstory.ap.org/article/10be2df1ad4e4eed85b6b007bee6f84c/tanning-industry-blames-10000-salon-closings-obamacare
81,000 people thrown out of work because President Ego wanted a legacy. Well, here's his legacy, ObamaCare has hurt far more people than it's helped and people, when they go to the polls, need to oust or not vote for people who supported it, like Hillary Clinton, Dina Titus and Russ Feingold.
Because of John McLaughlin, I got my interest in politics and started my belief in conservatism.
From Fox News: John McLaughlin, the stalwart political commentator who created television’s “McLaughlin Group,” died Tuesday at his home in Virginia. He was 89. His death came less than two days after he missed the first episode of his show in 34 years. “As a former Jesuit priest, teacher, pundit and news host, John touched many lives,” the show’s producers wrote on Facebook. “For 34 years, ‘The McLaughlin Group’ informed millions of Americans. Now he has said bye bye for the last time, to rejoin his beloved dog, Oliver, in heaven. He will always be remembered.” On Sunday his show opened with a note from McLaughlin offering his support and explaining his absence: “Dear friends of The McLaughlin Group, Dr. McLaughlin here. As the panel’s recent absences attest, I am under the weather. The final issue of this episode has my voice, but please forgive me for its weaker than usual quality. Yet my spirit is strong and my dedication to this show remains absolute!” The nature of his illness was not disclosed. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/john-mclaughlin-dead-hosted-mclaughlin-group-34-years-article-1.2753883
I liked the in-your-face comments by him McLaughlin and he made his guest think.
I also realized what a knucklehead, incompetent liar Eleanor Clift who thinks Hillary is god and makes no mistakes whatsoever.
So, thank you, Mr. McLaughlin for teaching me and millions more about politics.
Even the liberal media writing about ObamaCare, Obama's biggest failure among his many, many failures.
From CNN: In the latest blow to Obamacare, Aetna is vastly reducing its presence on the individual exchanges in 2017. The insurer will stop offering policies on the exchanges in 11 of the 15 states where it currently operates, according to a press release it issued Monday evening. Aetna(AET) will only sell Obamacare products in Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska and Virginia.
Aetna said earlier this month that it was halting its exchange expansion plans for 2017 and reviewing its participation in President Obama's signature health reform program. The company noted Monday that it has lost $430 million in its individual policies unit since the exchanges opened in January 2014.
Aetna, which had 838,000 exchange customers at the end of June, said its policyholders are turning out to be sicker and costlier than expected. The company, along with its peers, has criticized the federal program designed to mitigate those risks. "Providing affordable, high-quality health care options to consumers is not possible without a balanced risk pool," said Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini. The company will continue to offer individual policies outside of the Obamacare exchanges in the vast majority of markets where it now does business. Off-exchange products are not eligible for federal subsidies. ... Some 11.1 million people are enrolled in Obamacare this year, according to the latest federal statistics. UnitedHealthcare(UNH), the nation's largest insurer that is expecting to lose about $1 billion on Obamacare policies in 2015 and 2016, is exiting most Obamacare exchanges in 2017. Humana(HUM) announced last month that it was pulling out of nearly 1,200 counties in eight states next year. Afterward, it will only be selling insurance on the exchanges in 156 counties in 11 states. Others, including several Blue Cross Blue Shield companies, are also scaling back. "It seems increasingly clear that big, national insurers are having trouble competing in the Obamacare marketplaces and making money," said Larry Levitt, senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation. "Some insurers are still doing well, particularly those that historically served Medicaid beneficiaries."http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/15/news/economy/aetna-obamacare/index.html?iid=hp-toplead-dom
Only 11,000,000 people are using ObamaCare and most of those people had previous health insurance plans. Insurance has not gone down but still have skyrocketed because of all the regulations ObamaCare has put on the on insurance companies.
And just think Hillary wants to expand Obama/HillaryCare.
It just wants you to and throw up:
From the NY Daily News: — Notes of the FBI's interview with Hillary Clinton that were shared with congressional staff Tuesday afternoon showed the Democratic nominee indeed was "extremely careless" with classified information, while offering no obvious examples that she had previously misled Congress in her testimony, according to those familiar with the contents of the documents. A Democrat with knowledge of the report's contents said that while Clinton's interview suggested a pattern of recklessness and lack of sophistication in regards to security measures, everything she said was consistent with her previous statements to Congress. That testimony explains why FBI Director James Comey described her as being "extremely careless" with classified information when he announced the department recommended against prosecution. House and Senate staff were initially not allowed to take any notes on the sole copy of the report each branch of Congress received in a classified setting, and were limited in the time they were allowed to look at it. That prevented a comprehensive review of the material, which included more than a dozen pages of notes of the interview with Clinton as well as the more than 100 emails the FBI says contained classified information at the time they were sent. The FBI ordered that the details of the report, much of which was classified as secret, should not be disseminated publicly. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/fbi-sends-congress-notes-hillary-clinton-interview-article-1.2753755
Again, if this was Donald Trump, he would have been brought down already but because it is Hillary, a nice liberal, even though she is just nasty, she gets a pass.
From the NY Daily News: Better think fast.
Ellen DeGeneres has responded to accusations that a digitally altered image she tweeted on Monday of Usain Bolt was racist.
The picture in question features DeGeneres getting a piggyback from Bolt while he races to his semifinal win at the Olympics.
The caption reads, “This is how I'm running errands from now on. #Rio2016.”
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ellen-degeneres-tweet-usain-bolt-deemed-racist-article-1.2753762
Now I think it is kind of funny but some yahoos with burr up their butt thinks this is racist and they decided to get their 15 seconds of fame by saying they just sooo offended.....Right.
The people who do this probably have spotlight addiction, ala Donald Trump and if they don't see their twitter or Facebook posts being picked up by the media, they go into withdrawals.
So, the U.S. Department of Justice is throwing one of their own under the bus for misconduct in public office while the DOJ/FBI/Loretta Lynch were giving Hillary Clinton a free pass on all of her Benghazi e-mails
From jsonline: Former U.S. Attorney James Santelle, who retired abruptly last year in the midst of a Department of Justice investigation into his suspect misuse of a government credit card and for hosting political fundraisers, broke department policies when holding those political events, a report issued Tuesday found. A 59-page report from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector said that Santelle held a political fund-raiser for Mary Burke in 2013, a Democrat who ran for governor in Wisconsin against Scott Walker. Santelle also was planning an event for Jon Richards, a Democrat, who was running for attorney general. "As detailed in this report, we found that Santelle violated department policy based on his conduct with respect to the Burke and Richards campaign events. We also found that Santelle violated the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch governing fundraising and endorsements based on his participation in multiple non-political fundraising events. We also found that Santelle lacked candor and exhibited poor judgment," the report said.http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/milwaukee/2016/08/16/former-us-attorney-held-political-fundraiser/88823188/
Another evil thing Hillary did was dumb down misconduct rules in the DOJ and U.S. State Department.
What are the staffers say to the DOJ or State Department colleagues break the rules and they use the Clinton defense: I was stupid, I didn't mean to do it, it was a mistake etc....
And those bringing the allegations can look like idiots when they have nothing to say in response.
And btw, Santelle was appointed by Obama.
So, just about anybody or company and organization or government agency has been hacked or someone tried to hack into their systems...but especially if they were liberals or liberal agencies.
But what about us low hanging fruit of the blogging world? Back in June, 2013, I believe I was hacked: Something has gotten a hold of my computer. With my old computer, I rarely had a problem with bugs and viruses and now, it seems it's a day to day problem. These problems are irritating and I can deal with. However, what freaks me out is that several times in the past 2 months, and in the middle of the night, music starts playing on the computer. No music I ever have listened to and it's not a radio station. Further, all my windows are closed, the Internet Explorer windows are closed and so my computer is basically shut down. When the music is playing, no windows are opened. So, to those computer guys out there, what's going on? Is my computer possessed? Is my computer being hacked by the government? Someone playing games with my computer. A virus or bug doing this? Anybody have any ideas? http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2013/06/possessed-computer.html
Jamie Greenlee of the Greenlee Gazette, a liberal but nice blog to read also was hacked in this same manner: http://greenleegazette.blogspot.com/
I was unable to find his blog post for this but I am sure he will supply the info.
So, perhaps, our blogs that don't produce high numbers but produce a lot of information get hacked. And since we don't have Drudge report type numbers, then they put some music on, to say thank you in a mean-spirited way.
And I would like to say thank you on my and Jamie's behalf:
The other day, I was reading an update on a GOP and both said the following: "We are going to beat Hillary Clinton".
And as usual, the Clinton and the liberals said this was a very violent attack, advocating violence against all liberals and especially Hillary.
The following video was shot immediately after the rally:
Up until recently, many newspapers and media outlets required their readers to sign into Facebook to comment on their articles.
They did this to supposedly better moderate the comments to weed out some moron's nasty comments, from both the right and left, politically. They were also under the assumption that all Facebook comments were from clearly identifiable people and not some imposter, which is laughable. They probably got some kind of kickback as well.
Well, 2 small newspapers have bucked the trend and went away from Facebook to comment and went with other options to sign in, here you just need a sign in name and password.
So, congratulations to the following Newspaper web sites:

So, everyone wonders why Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack played out as is.
The scenario that is most plausible is the U.S. State Department, run by Hillary Clinton, was unable to pull the trigger on whether to help the Americans trapped in the Benghazi U.S. embassy. They were uncertain as to help or not, who to send and the uniforms the rescuers should wear. In other words, they were indecisive.
Fast forward to this week, while at a rally the muslim father of the nightclub mass murderer muslim terrorist, went to a Clinton rally in Florida.
Some media, not the majority, asked why this was going on, why would they have the mass murderer's dad at a rally, in a very prominent seating position, behind Hillary
Some in the media interviewed the thug muslim father, a normal muslin, who loves sharia law, wants to execute gays, have complete over women and other outrageous thoughts that nauseating to most Americans but are normal beliefs in the muslim world.
The thug father says he was invited and it is also obvious that he was picked to be seated in about the most visible seat possible- right behind Hillary and a few steps raised and the guy was holding a sign.
When a few members of the media questioned this, when the Trump campaign picked up with this and then most of the media finally ran a couple paragraph story about it, it took the Clinton campaign about 1/2 of a day to finally say this was not a good thing, denied he was invited, the campaign disavowed the thugs ringing endorsement of Hillary and told the media he would not be allowed to anymore campaign events.
Most normal people and campaigns, within the first hour of knowing what had happened would have said "What the hell is out there" just like coach Vince Lombardi of the green bay Packers.
They would have immediately disavowed the thug and then find out what happened and made sure it wouldn't happen again.
Hillary Clinton, instead shows her hesitation and afraid to act, just like in Benghazi.
And here is the great, late Vince Lombardi:
Between my wife and myself, we probably have 30 days in the hospital and probably 100 doctor visits.
And now this number will rise as I suffred a minor heart attack. A minor artery became blocked and with an angiogram.
So, I am in the hospital watching a Donald Trump speech because nothing else is good on TV.
And the hits keep on coming.
First you have Google in bed with Hillary Clinton making little lie babies.
Now, Facebook is apparently is also in Hillary's bed, making it a ménage à trois.
Facebook is censoring Donald Trump videos that rip Hillary Clinton and her e-mail scandals.
In the video of Hillary defending herself in the e-mail scandal (shown in the post below this one)and her claims being destroyed by Rep. Trey Gowdy and the FBI director, you can't see that video and the message says: "Something Went Wrong Sorry we're having problems playing this video" and of course, you can't watch the video.
Same with another video and the same concept and you get the censorship message.
And Facebook just censored the Hillary-Pac-Man video, that was just put out today:
I sampled probably 25 videos and found that 11 videos could not be played, and the rest did play. So, clearly, it's not a computer problem.
So, once again, a liberal web site, run by an extreme liberal is trying to rig the election.
And the liberals complain that Trump is inviting Russia to meddle in our election. Well, what about U.S. tech companies trying to rig the election? Where are the democrats condemning Google and Facebook?
Update: I went to the Hillary Clinton Facebook page and lo and behold, not one of about 20 videos on her Facebook video page were censured. https://www.facebook.com/hillaryclinton/videos
There is no doubt that Facebook is censuring Trump by knocking off the videos from his Facebook page but allowing all of Hillary's videos.
I wonder if this counts as in-kind services?
In Google, if you type in: you tube donald trump ads aug 2016, you would think that would you get some Donald Trump ads from his campaign, wouldn't you?
The first entry is a anti-Trump ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG_8WURBGnM
And some really weird Japanese video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbM6WbUw7Bs
But if you switch out Trump and ad Hillary, in the first 4 selections, they are all Hillary ads. (look it up, I don't want to be responsible for any nightmares tonight.)
Then you get the Trump attack ad that involves Hillary followed by 1 more Trump and then the loving resumes with a pro-Hillary ad.
And Google didn't have this ad in the first page of selections, even though it is extremely damaging to Hillary:
And it took me 45 minutes to find this ad (yeah, I know, get a life)
In the 2015-15 school year, my daughter was a senior at Kingman (AZ) High School.
Because she was a senior, she wanted to buy a yearbook, which was run by a teacher and printed by Jostens. She paid $70 for a yearbook.
Come late May, the yearbook did not arrive for the students before summer vacation and graduation. The administrators then told them that the yearbook would be a full year yearbook, from the start of the school through graduation and that the Seniors could use autograph cards/pages to autograph. Of course they didn't tell anyone until the day before graduation and all 9th-11th students were on Summer vacation, so, Seniors could get only seniors to autograph.
I talked to the principal and he initially blamed the printers, Jostens, but when I confronted him more directly, he admitted that he was unaware what the Yearbook teacher and staff were doing. but he did reassure me that the yearbook would go to the printers within a couple of weeks.
A few more weeks went by and no yearbook.
I called the Kingman Unified School District again.
The principal called me and stated that the yearbook teacher screwed up and did not put the yearbook to the printers until late July.
Kingman H.S. has about 2000 students in attendance and if 25% of the students ordered a yearbook, that's 500 students at $70 a yearbook, which comes to $35,000...a nice piece of change if someone took the money and ran.
Or, it is just complete incompetence from the superintendent to the principal on down to the teacher and the students involved.
I contacted the local press and they refused to do a story on this scandal and it is a scandal.
The Kingman (AZ) Unified School District needs to step up and say exactly when the yearbook will be done. They also need to offer a rebate of at least 25% of the cost of the yearbook to satisfy the Seniors and other students and the parents about the extreme incompetence of those in charge of KUSD the high school and those in charge of the yearbook. Discipline should also be considered against those involved.
And they need to prove that no money was lost by theft.
It is a scandal at KHS and the school district better come up with answers immediately.
I guess having a muslim mayor didn't stop a terrorist attack in London.
From the London Daily Telegraph: Police were called just after 10.30pm last night [Wednesday] to reports of a man armed with a knife assaulting people at at Russell Square, Camden. Armed officers arrived at the scene within five minutes. They discharged the Taser while confronting and arresting the suspect. Six people have been injured, including the one woman who sadly died at the scene and the others have received various injuries. The deceased woman is in her 60s but it would be inappropriate at this time for me to give any more personal details about her. A 19-year-old man was arrested shortly after 10.39pm and is currently in police custody at hospital. Early indications suggest mental health is a significant factor in this case and that is one major line of inquiry. But of course at this stage we should keep an open mind regarding motive and consequently terrorism as a motivation remains but one line of inquiry for us to explore. At present the Met’s homicide command are investigating the incident but at present are supported by our counterterrorism unit.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/04/woman-killed-and-five-injured-in-suspected-terror-knife-attack-i/
Earlier in the day, the news reported that almost 1000 London cops have been deployed to prevent a terrorist attack.
I guess they failed in that mission.

From Fox News: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Tuesday that President Barack Obama was "the worst president, maybe in the history of our country" after Obama called Trump "unfit to serve" and "woefully unprepared to do this job" earlier in the day. "I think he's been a disaster. He's been weak, he's been ineffective," Trump said on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor." "I believe I know far more about foreign policy than he knows. Look at Ukraine. He talks about Ukraine [and] how tough he is with Russia, in the meantime they took over Crimea." Earlier Tuesday, Trump said that Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton have “single-handedly destabilized the Middle East” while putting the “country at risk” with Clinton’s use of a private email server. "She is reckless with her emails, reckless with regime change, and reckless with American lives,” Trump said....http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/02/trump-calls-obama-worst-president-disaster-after-unfit-to-serve-slam.html
Earlier Obama said that Trump was unfit to be president and that he is woefully not prepared to be president.
This coming from a community organizer, a pretend teacher of law and a faithful muslim.
No one can without laughing out loud, a growing a Pinocchio nose or be brain dead say Obama is not the worst president ever. Jimmy Carter looks like a piker compared to Obama when it comes to competence of being president.
If Obama had another brain, it would be lonely.
Or us Wisconsinites would say "All foam, no beer and the cheese slid off his cracker.
From Market Watch: The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward. Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said. The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement the Obama administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old dispute over a failed arms deal signed just before the 1979 fall of Iran’s last monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
The settlement, which resolved claims before an international tribunal in The Hague, also coincided with the formal implementation that same weekend of the landmark nuclear agreement reached between Tehran, the U.S. and other global powers the summer before. “With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well,” President Barack Obama said at the White House on Jan. 17 — without disclosing the $400 million cash payment. Senior U.S. officials denied any link between the payment and the prisoner exchange. They say the way the various strands came together simultaneously was coincidental, not the result of any quid pro quo.... But U.S. officials also acknowledge that Iranian negotiators on the prisoner exchange said they wanted the cash to show they had gained something tangible. Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas and a fierce foe of the Iran nuclear deal, accused President Barack Obama of paying “a $1.7 billion ransom to the ayatollahs for U.S. hostages.” “This break with longstanding U.S. policy [not to] put a price on the head of Americans, and has led Iran to continue its illegal seizures” of Americans, he said. Since the cash shipment, the intelligence arm of the Revolutionary Guard has arrested two more Iranian-Americans. Tehran has also detained dual-nationals from France, Canada and the U.K. in recent months. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/400-million-sent-to-iran-as-us-prisoners-released-raising-questions-2016-08-02
Gee, just shocking that Iran arrested more Americans after the ransom was paid.
Iran just rolled over Obama and John Kerry, though a half eaten potato has more common sense then these 2 clowns.
Worst president ever and 2nd worse Sec. of State ever.
And how will Hillary defend this, if a member of media will actually ask this to her?
