It's December and the sky is falling!

Washington DC - In a statement from former national security adviser Flynn, he advised the press that; "After over 33 years of military service to our country, including nearly five years in combat away from my family, and then my decision to continue to serve the United States, it has been extraordinarily painful to endure these many months of false accusations of "treason" and other outrageous acts." The General then went on to say that, "Such false accusations are contrary to everything I have ever done and stood for. But I recognize that the actions I acknowledged in court today were wrong, and, through my faith in God, I am working to set things right. My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsel's Office reflect a decision I made in the best interests of my family and of our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions."

So, Flynn has admitted to lying to the FBI and has become an instant felon as a result. The question now swirling around the Hill is whether or not there was anything to the rumors that then candidate Trump back in December of 2016, advised him to open up a channel with the Russians. If true, that could have serious consequences for him and the office. 

As a result of that rumor the Stock Market took a tumble, MSNBC had an orgasm thinking about it and many American have now started investing in bomb shelters... Please!

If I had a nickle for every time I've heard some idiot media pundit bring up the words 'Russia' and 'collusion' in the same sentence, I'd a rich man. The truth be told - I could give a rat's ass if Trump was found to be a raging homo who was sleeping with Putin behind Ivanka's back. I really could care less. I'm much more interested in seeing the economy improve, my southern border secured and a reasonable shot at decent healthcare. The rest of this nonsense is being thrown out, just to fill airtime, in my view....

Let's all take a deep breath. Turn off the TV and go have a nice Christmas....

Is American nearing a state of high stakes war?

On Thursday (Oct 5, 2017), President Trump met with senior military leaders amid increasing tensions around the globe and speculation of changes in foreign policy. During that meeting he made a public statement to the press that it was 'the calm before the storm'. Everyone has since been wondering exactly what he was talking about...

In my view, two key issues are rapidly coming to a head; one being North Korea's assertion that it is very near the point where it can deliver a nuke directly to American soil, and other one being rumors that he is about to scrap the Iran nuclear deal signed by the Obama administration in 2015. Either action could very rapidly escalate already high tensions between all three countries. And, should anyone blink, things could go downhill rapidly...

It's all quiet in North Korea. Really?

The nation's top military officer said Tuesday (Sept 26, 2017), that he's not seen any shifts in North Korea's military posture despite the reclusive nation's threats to shoot down U.S. warplanes amid the "charged political environment" between Washington and Pyongyang. In other words, even amid all the threats coming out of Kim's mouth, General Joseph Dunford who is the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was quoted as stating... "we haven't seen military activity that would be reflective of the charged political environment that we're seeing."

So, what's going on here? Well, here's a lightening bolt! Kim Jong-un is merely stalling for time. I think he firmly believes that once they (NK) have proven that they can deliver a nuke tipped ICBM onto some poor country, that the rest of the world will then kowtow to him as an equal leader of the world. Insane thinking? Well, duh! Ya think?

What is key, however, is my thinking that Kim will explode a nuclear weapon over someone's head. The only questions that remain are when and where. And after that, it will be up to the US, our allies and perhaps the UN to come to a determination on just how total will be the devastation of all of North Korea.This will the likely and very sad ending to a failed and utterly insane regime.

Violent crime continues to rise!

The violent crime rate is on the rise throughout the United States, with statistics showing that 2016 had the largest single-year increase in over 25 years, according to FBI data released Monday, September the 25th.

The bureau’s annual Crime in the United States report said the violent crime rate increased in 2016 by 3.4%, a slight tick up from 2015’s 3.3% year-over-year increase.

“For the sake of all Americans, we must confront and turn back the rising tide of violent crime. And we must do it together,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. “The Department of Justice is committed to working with our state, local, and tribal partners across the country to deter violent crime, dismantle criminal organizations and gangs, stop the scourge of drug trafficking, and send a strong message to criminals that we will not surrender our communities to lawlessness and violence.”

The report says increases in violent crime were happening in suburban areas and cities of all sizes, ranging from those with populations below 10,000 to those with populations of more than 250,000. It added that rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults all showed an uptick in 2016.

Across the U.S., the homicide rate also increased by 7.9% in 2016, marking an overall jump of more than 20% since 2014, the report said.

Ri Yong Ho looked like an ass at UN speech!

North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho did everything but call President Trunk a new Hitler in his address to the United Nations, in New York on September the 23^rd, and I think he may have been sweating a little bit as he did so.

In a fiery speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York Saturday, Ri responded to a string of threats from Mr. Trump throughout the week -- particularly Mr. Trump's threat to "totally destroy" North Korea if the U.S. is "forced to defend itself or its allies." Mr. Trump has said "rocket man" Kim Jong-un, North Korea's leader, is on a "suicide mission," but Ri said "none other than Trump himself is on a suicide mission."

"Due to his lacking of basic common knowledge and proper sentiment, he tried to insult the supreme dignity of my country by referring it to a rocket," Ri said. "By doing so however, he committed an irreversible mistake of making our rocket's visit to the entire U.S. mainland inevitable all the more."
Pretty strong stuff coming from an impoverished country whose missiles often go off course.

My guess is that the Minister was under the threat of instant death were he to deviate even slightly from the insane dialog handed to him by Kim Jong-un.

Trump's addresses the UN in a very bold manner!

New York City - Leaders from around the globe were taking the lectern at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. And, it was a particularly big moment for President Trump, who addressed the world gathering for the first time. Right off the bat, the President left little room for doubt as to the intentions of the US versus the Dictatorship of North Korea!

If the United States is forced to defend itself or its allies, “we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” President Trump said in his address to the General Assembly.
He also denounced North Korea and its leader, Kim Jong-un, saying the nation “threatens the entire world with unthinkable loss of life” as a result of its nuclear weapons program.

I can remember back over the years, when Obama stood at that same podium and profusely apologized for the evil deeds of the American people in past years. Even as he spoke, he would seem to attempt a near impossible feat; making a speech while bowing so low he could have kissed the floor!

I cannot remember the feeling of pride I experienced as I listened to him tell that crowd, that they could stand with America or we would take care of the mess on our own....

Potential for collapse at NK nuclear test site!

North Korea – It's just keeps on getting better for Kin Jong-un. After exploding a sixth nuclear bomb in the same mountain, Chinese experts are now beginning to fear it is at risk of collapsing! And here's the kicker. Wang Naiyan, a former chairman of the China Nuclear Society and a researcher on China's own nuclear weapons program, said another test underneath the mountain can cause an “environmental disaster” if the site caves in on itself, allowing radiation to escape and “drift across the region,” including into China. “We call it ‘taking the roof off.’ If the mountain collapses and the hole is exposed, it will let out many bad things.” Wang told the South China Morning Post.

Should that ugly scenario come to pass, relations between China and North Korea would become much more strained to say the least. Fully 90% of Kim's trade is with that country and any change could easily lead to even more enhanced levels of starvation among its citizens.

Kim Jong-un's destiny!

'OK, so explain option 5 to me again'!

North Korea's complete leadership failure is coming more into focus, as the fall of 2017 approaches. Kim, and his buddies in power, will very likely face the following fates:

Option 5  -  Kim will flee the country, leaving his leadership to fend for themselves...

Option 4 - Kim will order a ICBM strike against a US protected country, at which point Pyongyang will be leveled... utterly.

Option 3 - Kim will launch an attack against South Korea, at which point most of his entire country will be destroyed...utterly...

Option 2 - Kim will be assassinated by his leadership, at which point the unification of Korea will begin...

Option 1 - Kim and his leadership will be deposed in a coup by the rank and file citizens who are starving, at which point, unification of Korea will commence, with Kim's head displayed on a stick...

Note that only one option, for Kim's realistic survival is currently open to Kim the Dim - !

The clock is ticking in North Korea!

North Korea said on Sunday it detonated a hydrogen bomb, possibly triggering an artificial earthquake and prompting immediate condemnation from its neighbors -- despite the rogue regime calling the test a "perfect success."

North Korea is working at a frantic pace to enable a nuclear tipped ICBM. The target of which will be open to question. My best guess... Japan could be a likely recipient, in addition to the US as neither side would never back down from a nut job leader who is now also exhibiting sociopathic* tendencies....

I'd also guess that any bombs place on their heads, by Allied forces, will also be a 'perfect success'!

Footnote: Were an enemy of the US to be really sly - they would not go for strikes at the cities, but rather for high altitude bursts that would generate destructive electromagnetic pulses that could bring our power grid down for months.! See this article for more information.

Oh yes! Those gas prices are on the rise!

As America scrambles towards true energy independence, there may be a fly in the ointment before reaching that state of nirvana! Recent spikes in gas prices all over the Nation, (due to hurricane Harvey) currently serve as a reminder that we may not be out of the woods quite yet!

September 1 - Just how high up and for how long pump prices will persist, is unknown as of this post. What is definitely known is that energy uncertainty hangs like a cloud over all the world. Harvey not only affected gas princes at home but elsewhere as well.

Uncertain weather, simmering problems in the Middle East, a psychotic North Korean and even Chinese or Russian instability all could play a hand in the direction the US will be taking! Yes, life is uncertain...

Even more problematic would be the potential for a synergistic effect that could result if a string of 'misfortunes' were to occur close together in time. For instance, were the latest hurricane named Irma to slam somewhere into the East Coast as a category 4 and a war with Iran or North Korea to break out - The physical devastation along the Coast along with a significant loss of oil shipments could prove catastrophic for the US over the short term... Oil, and its availability, has often been the Achilles tendon of many developed countries and is even more true for the United States!

[Can wacky things really happen? Sure. Take a look at the path the 2004 Hurricane called Ivan took when it made landfall in the Gulf twice! Talk about weird]!

Violence erupts at rally. Could this be the start of the next Civil War?

When White Nationalist's have a rally in places like Charlotte, Virginia, they show up prepared to fight. Increasingly, these sorts of rally's have grown more violent. Now getting to the point where police and even the National Guard are routinely called in, in anticipation of violent events, not speeches.

I have to wonder if we are witnessing the early beginnings of the next Civil War!

B-52's are in the field of play for ISIS!

It's no secret that the venerable B-52 stratofortress has been called up by the military to do a number on the turbine covered heads of ISIS, in recent months. These planes that first saw service around 195,0 in the Korean war, and then most recently in Desert Storm. They have been upgraded, over the years, to carry modern munitions. As far as ISIS is concerned these planes are pure death raining from the skies....

Rumor also has it that these planes may be used in Africa against Al-schabaab with the intent of turning those terrorists into well done shish kabobs... 

Terrorist's main target – The US power grid!

Decades ago, American security forces were dumbfounded, when a small group of determined terrorists, commandeered four planes and then used three as massive suicide bombs to destroy two towers and part of the pentagon. The fourth was stopped from hitting the White House only due to the actions of a brave few passengers....

Now, sixteen years later, I fear that the forces of evil have not been idle. I feel certain (in my gut), that there is a decade long plan in place to strike at key points at the power grid in a well rehearsed plot to plunge the nation into a chaos of truly horrific proportions. And they may well succeed as the citizens of my country have allowed themselves to be cowed by the far left. A group of useful idiots whose politically correct agenda seeks to subdue the urgent need to watch the Muslim man very carefully.

And, while it's true that the great majority of people of the Muslim faith are God fearing, so is it equally true that a large number of them truly believe that Christians are evil and need to be exterminated by any means possible. For that reason alone, men and women of the United States need to be visually aware and to report something if they see something. The evil that lives among us can be anywhere, in any town or any city and they have just one deadly agenda.... to die gloriously for Allah while taking as many of us down as possible.

Never forget that these utterly insane 'idealogues' will never, ever give up.

So, now ISIS is killing our children....

OK. perhaps it's time to ratchet it up a bit. Radicalized Islamic individuals are very much like a cancerous tumor on the surface of my planet. Now, up until now, the half way sane people among us have tried our best to be 'politically correct'. After Manchester, that modus is off the table.

I would warn the Muslim community that the civilized people of this planet have now or will soon reached a tipping point.  There is a surgeon in guise of the United States that will now begin the work of removing the 'tumor' that is the crud of these people who would harm innocent children. Sadly, good Muslims will also die. That's part of the healing process - good tissue has to be removed with the bad. Only so that the rest of us can heal.

I would therefore consent to the carpet bombing of the enclaves of the sites where terrorists are known to live. Raqqa would be high on that list.

This to the morons that listen to the crud who 'inspire' you.

الله الحقيقي قادم والجحيم هو ركوب معه!

This to the rest of the world. These Islamist's are not human. They are cockroaches that run for the cracks of a families kitchen whenever a 'light' goes on. Best approach. Call for an exterminator... and that be us!

Is America getting closer to Civil War?

I'm not sure how many of us, those people of good hearts and a belief in a family unit and of God, can go on watching the media spew out their lies and deceptions. Day to day, it never ends. I'm referring to all the media and where they are trying to take us. A nation, without borders, with only a shadow of our former greatness...

A Civil War is brewing, just beneath the surface of the middle parts of my country. I feel this. These God fearing families, are now reaching or gone past a tipping point. They've had it with media channels that slant and lie about who we are as a people. (You either see the world as they see it, or your some kind of racist or non political correct idiot). That bullshit is going to end and it will end soon.

I would now call on the Militia of this Country to now stand ready for war! God, please bless us in this time.... Please forgive me, but, I am totally pissed off..

A new kind of terminator movie!

Eventually, cyber attacks may well bring the Internet down completely. The persons who are responsible will never stop unless or until they are terminated.

Hey! It's only $300 to get your stuff back!

To that end, I am looking forward to a time when these people will become discovered and who will then have a bounty set upon their heads by the large corporations and other interested parties. They will then become fair game for anyone who wants to become handsomely paid. If these pieces of crud live offshore (as most of them do), then there would be no trails or jail time. Just a good swift execution style killing with the collector returning with some identifiable part of that person's body so that they may collect. Anyone captured in America would be given a short 'trial' and then terminated.

Now if this all sounds just a tad 'insane', please remember that millions of Americans are falling victim to attacks every year at a cost of millions of dollars. Maybe a new series similar to the movie 'The Running Man' will be developed in which views can all watch while this crud is 'tagged and bagged'. Following is a letter I received from an anti-viral software company I use....

Dear Subscriber,

A massive ransomware attack spread across the globe today, locking up thousands of hospital, telecommunications, and utilities systems in nearly 100 countries. The attack used data stolen from the NSA to exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and deliver the WanaCrypt0r ransomware. The demand was for $300 per PC.

While the ransomware was first detected wreaking havoc in emergency rooms and doctors' offices in the UK, the infection quickly spread worldwide, including to the US.

We're alerting you to reassure you that if you're currently using the premium version (or the premium trial) of Malwarebytes with real-time protection turned on, you are protected from this threat. Our premium technology blocks the WanaCrypt0r ransomware before it can encrypt your files. (The free version of Malwarebytes, however, does not protect you against WanaCrypt0r. To see which version you have, open up your Malwarebytes software and look for the version name at the top of the window.)

If you're not currently using the premium version of Malwarebytes, we recommend that you update your Microsoft Windows software immediately. Microsoft released a patch for this vulnerability in March, but many users haven't updated, leaving their computers open to this attack.

Here at Malwarebytes, we pledge to keep you protected and informed about the latest issues. Your peace of mind is our number one priority.

Sincerely,

The Malwarebytes team

Let the Democrats keep their ACA!

I agree with Mr. Gooney. I think the government should allow the Democratic Party members the opportunity to keep ObamaCare for long as they like (at their own expense), while the rest of us try and fashion something that won't bankrupt the Nation while still supplying affordable care!

Like lemmings, we all edge ever closer to the abyss....

Sometimes, I stand with my mouth wide open. Just how stupid are we as a species?

Would a government shutdown be a bad thing?

In less than a week, after taking an Easter break, our congress will have to come to consensus in terms of the National Budget! A feat, should that occur, would not be unlike Jesus, when he walked on the waters in the Sea of Galilee! Right off the bat, the Democrats will try to impose not funding of the Mexican wall, something that President Trump has sworn we would do. Once again, everything will become politicized as the Democratic Party continues its relentless pursuit of stopping Trump at every turn. Their motto would seem to be 'Let the Nation be damned, so long as Trump loses!'

So, OK, I would bet the bank that the government will shut down for a period of time. Maybe it will be shut down for a long period of time and I would then pose another question... Is that really a bad thing? What better way to downsize this 'tumor' than by strangling it of money. After a few months, most of the politicians would move on to more lucrative endeavors. The Halls of Congress would be empty except for the sighing of the wind. The river of money that feeds the government would slow to a trickle and a big problem would be solved....

Islamic terrorists = The dumbest people on earth!

Numb nuts united!

While watching the events unfold on this date in the UK, I couldn't help be be reminded on how the average terrorist is put together. You have a pair of shrunken gonads to which is attached some limbs and that's about all there is. No brain, no intellect and definitely no common sense! Even a five year old child could understand that killing others to advance your particular ideology is self limiting and ultimately pointless. And to do it in honor of some sicko religion borders on the macabre.

Now, while I did not know at the time if the attacker(s) was/were religious dingbat Muslims, the modus operandi fits the mindset pattern to a tee. I.E. Take one impressionable youth who has been raised in abject poverty all his life, fill his head with pornographic images of an afterlife with 72 virgins, give him a gun or strap explosives on his back and then send the chump off to kill and maim innocents! Sadly, as that boy toddles off with his oh so religious dick in hand, he never even bothers to look back and observe those 'leaders' as they quietly slink back into their dark holes.  Cowards, you can see, love dark places. They even hide their faces behind masks as they would never be caught dead on any real field of honor... because they have none.

Meanwhile, these young, brainless jihadists, continue to fling themselves against impenetrable walls of human sanity and sobriety. Their pathetic deaths constitute a process that so pointless as to almost inspire dark humor. You see, Allah isn't proud at all, he's sickened... and his sick child, Khalid Masood, just another wasted piece of biotic matter being flushed away...
