Bridge of Spies—Another Home Run for Spielberg–(Ignore the Media.)
Nobody Reports
The last really good movie I saw, one that I wanted to actually see again, was Jurassic World. Sure, The Martian was fun, but nobody does the sets, the acting, the action, the drama, as well as Steven Spielberg. The man was just born to do what he does.
Bridge of Spies is a movie of American history, and coming at a propitious time when daily we are bombarded with news that black is white, and our whole very notion of being “American” is being torn down. It’s A spy movie about when America traded ‘spies’ in the cold war, with the help of an insurance lawyer, who basically, against even our own government’s wishes, just does the right thing.
Yes, there still is a right, and a wrong. (even dogs know that.)
From HC Press.com:
Tom Hanks stars as James Donovan, an American attorney brought on to defend “suspected” Soviet spy Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) in 1957 in the early stages of the Cold War. Donovan is reluctant to take on the controversial client, but is encouraged to do so by his boss (Alan Alda) because America needs to prove that it gives everyone a fair trial. In other words, America is supposed to appear morally superior to its enemies, even though Abel’s guilt has already unofficially been determined.
Yes, James Donovan (Tom Hanks) defends the Soviet spy in the same tradition that John Adams defended the British soldiers of the Boston Massacre, and the whole time I was watching this movie I couldn’t help but think of how off the course of America we have come.
Obama can now, if he believes ANYBODY to be a threat to the nation, without a trial, imprison them for whatever time he likes, and Congress let him take that power. It was never even discussed in public, and yet a fundamental American right has been taken away. With Obama’s love and protection of all who are Muslim, this scares mostly those who HE thinks are enemies…and in Obama’s world, it’s a lot of the American population.
In this movie we see a normal citizen fight for the rights and lives of BOTH ‘spies’, American and Russian, the point being driving home is they are just doing their jobs. The ‘governments’ of our world, make decisions that a normal citizen would never make.
Not to mention, (going back to Obama) —Obama didn’t even attempt to get the release of four Americans out of Iran, when he was signing his ‘historical’ nuclear deals with Iran. You can’t help but compare Obama of today, with the past man in this movie, James Donovan, a nobody from some law firm, who goes on to get thousands of people released from jail in communist countries—which you learn as a footnote at the end.
Too bad we don’t have a James Donovan today.
As I left the theater, I wanted to see this beautifully told and meticulously crafted movie a few more times…but I can’t help but wonder why Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks continue in real life to support Obama? Why?
It’s a dichotomy that remains inexplicable: How many liberal actors make their living by blowing up people on screens with guns, and yet, want all guns banned? And how can directors and actors who make uplifting themes of the goodness of America, endorse someone like Obama? The MOST Un-American President to ever hold the office. How?
Is it really just all about the money? Can somebody answer that to me please? (I have my suspicions, but would love to hear yours.)
Anyway, go see the movie, because the PR is telling everyone NOT to.
You’ll want to see it…one more time.
Do Climate Scientists Own Cats? This Would Explain a Lot.
Nobody Wonders..
—How Paul Ryan, now that he has the leadership of the House, can make the claim that he knows the Constitution. He made it perfectly clear that he plans to do nothing in the remaining days of Obama’s Presidency, because, Obama would just veto anything they put on his desk, so why bother?
It’s pointless Ryan says. Waste of time. Not pragmatic. Stupid. Which means, Obama can do anything he wants because Paul Ryan will not use the power of Congress to impeach the man for the many times he has broken the law and put the country in danger because…
Why again? Paul Ryan ACTS as if the House has no other options to oppose Obama but to just sit around and take a salary. Impeachment is off the table.
Must be nice.
So, because Obama CAN do anything, he is ignoring the law. He signed in amnesty by executive order, and Federal judge Andrew Hanen’s order STOPPED Obama’s DAPA and Expanded DACA programs because it was un-constitutional, but guess what? What are they going to do to him?
Paul Ryan is the speaker. Nothing.
The internal memo reveals four options of varying expansiveness, with option 1 providing EADs to “all individuals living in the United States”, including illegal aliens, visa-overstayers, and H-1B guest-workers, while option 4 provides EADs only to those on certain unexpired non-immigrant visas. Giving EADs to any of the covered individuals, however, is in direct violation of Congress’s Immigration & Nationality Act and works to dramatically subvert our carefully wrought visa system.
—How Paul Ryan can stand by, and let Obama sign into law, an upcoming global warming treaty, where the United States will be required to pay billions to other countries? If you thought your health care costs were bad, just wait until you see your new electric bills, that is if Iran doesn’t start WWIII first.
Nobody Wonders why I can’t stop blaming Obama and start blaming Paul Ryan for the damage that Obama will do in the next year.
And Nobody also wonders how Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) can accuse Republicans for of denying science in their opposition to the deal, when the North Polar Ice is growing
“They say they’re not scientists and I would agree with them,” she said. “They ought to be listening to the 97 percent of scientists who tell us human action and activities is causing too much carbon pollution.”
—Nobody wonders why no one saw the hypocrisy going on last week after the CNBC debate. Last week every conservative jumped on CNBC for attacking the republican candidates with obnoxious and demeaning questions….and NOBODY mentioned, noooooooooooooooo nobody mentioned that FOX’s Megyn Kelly and Brit Baier started the nastiness, with the very first question they asked Donald Trump, in the very first debate.
What makes them any better?
And…
—-if Russia will ever admit that their plane was shot down by ISIS, and if Putin will say it was a video.
—-If the rich people in D.C. know that Chinese plan to take over D.C., and put Dr. Chu in control.
–Why there isn’t a Thomas Edison Holiday…since just about everything we do today, was built on Tom’s many inventions.
—-Why Michelle went to India, instead of her usual vacation place, Hawaii. (or did she drop in on her way back?)
— If Obama can let enough prisoners out of jail to make it time to vote in the next election, and if he will be handing out free bus rides filled with free medicinal marijuana and a job at the IRS to them all for their vote.
—If Jimmy Fallon has been partying with Rahm Emanuel because he’s running out of fingers to destroy, or if he just doesn’t want to play the guitar anymore and needed an excuse.
—-If our children will ever be able to salute our flag in their classrooms ever again, or be made to study Sharia law.
—If the only one to see Tarantino’s new movie, will be Obama.
____What the heck my Muslim neighbor was screaming about outside his house at 11 o’clock on a Sunday and why he had to wake up the whole neighborhood. What was he saying? .
I don’t think it was “Peace on Earth good Christens!”
And Nobody Wonders…
–IF the same scientists that have discovered that all domestic cats really want to kill their owners, are the same scientists that say that global warming is real.
We can only hope that those scientists all own cats, because we DO know for a fact, that in their case, it’s absolutely true.
Nobody’s Email: Donald Trump Fights City Hall to Display American Flag
Nobody Flashes
Long before he ran for the Presidency, Donald Trump did things we have not heard many billionaire Americans do, and THIS shows how much he loves his country. 
Here’s an email I got over the weekend, that I didn’t even know about….and I thought it was pretty cool. Trump’s creative solution to the ‘problem’ shows just WHY he would make a fantastic President.
Enjoy!
(Thanks to Kris)
When Trump purchased and rebuilt Mar-A-Lago the Grand mansion and estate In Palm beach, Florida he got into a dispute with the city, who are well-known for being strict on zoning regulations.
Trump put up a 50 foot flag pole even though 30 foot is the maximum allowed. The city imposed a 1,000 dollar fine per day. While Trump and the city argued back and forth, the fine had reached 120,000 dollars so, Trump proposed a solution.
He would donate that amount to veterans organizations, would move the flag and pole to a different location in front of the mansion and would only use a 30 foot flag pole.
The city agreed. So Trump brought in the company who does Golf course construction had them build a 20′ foot high grassy hill and put a 30 foot flag pole on top of that…..Thank you Mr. TRUMP FOR flying our flag high and donating to our veterans you’re a TRUE AMERICAN…
Patriotic Black Men? Surprise!….They DO exist, Obama.
Nobody’s Opinion
Here’s the good news: Despite what you hear daily, from Obama to the Black Lives Matter idiots–guess what? I’m here to report to you, from the bowels of that horrible area of what our ‘President’ considered ground zero for being the worse place next to hell, in the middle of the United States, where the horrible treatment of cops and whites towards Obama, and the dead Michael Brown reside—the blacks are starting to “get it.”
Something AMAZING happened, just tonight, as I walked around Sam’s. One of the employees, a BIG black man, who looked as if he could be on TV, yelled out to me…
“Hey, I LOVE your coat.”
Boy, I wasn’t expecting that. Why was I surprised, you ask? Because I was wearing a leather jacket with a huge America flag on the back, and USA in big red letters down the sleeve: not exactly the style of Dr. Dre. Being an American is not cool, now, you know.
We are bombarded day by day by hour by hour that black people are not only angry at cops, they are angry at America AND white people…all of that in no particular order.
The last thing a white person would ever suspect is for a black man to be patriotic. But this guy was totally sincere. You can always tell when a person is being insincere…if you can’t..you have not been paying attention.
“Hey, Thanks! ” I said, with a big smile.
I could tell that he knew I was…surprised, so he smiled big and said, “It looks warm, I think it’s going to be a cold winter and I HATE winter.”
“I do too.” I said, grinning back at him.
Everything would be so much easier if we just all became Americans, wouldn’t it? On the same team.
This afternoon, I was listening to the radio, and the Police Chief of North Country (which includes Ferguson) was talking to a black radio host, who said he had relatives who were cops, and he understood the cops are doing the best they can. The black man was truly trying to look at things from the cops point of view.
Another refreshing surprise.
And that’s the good news: Black men like Ben Carson, Sheriff David Clarke, Allen West, and many others that the liberals daily attack, are waking up other blacks across America as to just what Obama has done to their lives. Ever since Obama started blaming cops for being racists, cops all over the country have been walking around with a target on their backs, and well…don’t like the cops?
They don’t HAVE to do their jobs now, do they? So, they have just stepped back. And crime has skyrocketed—
From CNN:
-
Baltimore, gun violence is up more than 60% compared with this time last year, with 32 shootings over Memorial Day weekend. May has been the most violent month the city has seen in 15 years.
-
In Milwaukee, homicides were up 180% by May 17 over the same period the previous year. Through April, shootings in St. Louis were up 39%, robberies 43%, and homicides 25%. “Crime is the worst I’ve ever seen it,” said St. Louis Alderman Joe Vacarro at a May 7 City Hall hearing.
-
In Atlanta, murders were up 32% as of mid-May.
-
In Chicago, shootings had increased 24% and homicides 17%.
-
In Los Angeles, shootings and other violent felonies had spiked by 25%.
-
In New York, murder was up nearly 13%, and gun violence 7%.
-
In St. Louis, MO, after the shooting of Michael Brown in August, homicides surged 47% by early November and robberies in the county were up 82%.
Those citywide statistics mask even more startling (black) neighborhood-level increases. As examples:
- Shooting incidents are up 500% in New York’s East Harlem precinct compared with last year.
- Shooting victims are up 100% in a police division in South Central, Los Angeles.
Murders of officers jumped 89% in 2014, to 51 from 27.
Of course Obama WANTS crime to skyrocket. Obama’s aim is to cause the big problems of crime to go up, so that he can come in with the solution: the Nationalization of all police departments, AND more gun control. He doesn’t care about the blacks or the cops getting murdered…it a means to his end. He has a mission.
Obama’s standing police army is not going to happen overnight, so in the meantime, the smart blacks are starting to see, that it’s not the white people, or the cops…it’s the democrats who have made their neighborhoods cesspools of crime. And the truth is, Obama has been the biggest racist of all.
It’s not good news that the blacks are suffering so much under Obama.
BUT…the good news is: Someday that “black revolution” that Obama is trying to light a fire under, might just fizzle out and die…..thanks to good men like Sheriff David Clarke.
The Mystery of Death, OR Calling Mr. Feynman
Nobody Flashes…
Every year on Halloween, starting at midnight, Coast to Coast 97.1 on the radio, holds its annual Ghost to Ghost show, where people can call in and tell their ‘spooky’ stories. It’s really fun. If I must reveal a secret, every night I fall asleep with my little transistor and earplug tuned into the Coast to Coast program or else I can’t fall asleep. And last night, George Noory, the host, asked for people to call in who had ‘seen the face of death’ or stories something to that matter….and I DO have one. To me, it’s as good as any I’ve heard….so, I laid there and thought…..”Go on. Do it.” Calling into a radio station is not so easy for me. Being basically a shy person, even though I was drummer/piano/musician/singer/entertainer for so many years, the fact remains, I was afraid of freezing up on the radio.
I’d rather go to the dentist.
I called the number …and it was busy. So I went back to bed.
Anyway, I thought as I lay there in the darkness…”I know! I’ll just write my little story in a post, and get it out of my system”
So, even though it’s the day AFTER Halloween, here’s the story of what happened to my touch with ‘death.”
“Dark Matter Doth Rule” OR…”Calling Mr. Feynman”
Once upon a time, back when I knew my parents couldn’t afford to send me to college, and prostitution seemed a rather repulsive way to make a living, I taught myself the drums, bought a huge PA system, auditioned some musicians, and we went on the road. I named my little five piece band “Coconuts” after the Marx Brothers movie, even though the guys in the band didn’t really like it, what were they going to do about it? I owned the van, the equipment, and booked the jobs.
There was a very serious guitar player named Rich, a very serious bass player named Rick, a very serious keyboard player named Kelly, and a not so- serious black guy named Charlie, who was our lead singer. More about them later.
Back then in the 1970’s…you could actually make a living as a band on the road. People went out a lot to hear bands. Hard to believe it now, but they did. We were booked to play nightly, at I think it this story took place in a Holiday Inn, in Marion, IL..which was about a 2 hour drive from St. Louis. It was right off a main highway…and I remember bits and pieces of the time. I do remember being on a M&M diet. Really. It works when your about 22. Every diet works at 22. 
Now, being as I was the “leader” so to speak, I felt pretty much like a den mother to four bear cubs. I had my own room of course, being the girl, and the guys each shared a room together. But one night, Charlie started BEGGING me to let Rick (the bass player) stay in MY room because, you see his girlfriend, who I was told was really “HOT” was driving down from St. Louis and Charlie was DESPERATE to be with her…alone. In the hotel room. Being as I wasn’t dating anyone in the band, it seemed ridiculous to me, (not being a guy) I wasn’t too excited about this arrangement, but being as it was the 1970’s, and who was going to talk anyway?
Rick was tall, and lanky guy. He had that Rick Springfield sort of look— dark hair, and a habit of smoking every time he could get a chance, so his left lip had a permanent snarl. He was very quiet, and so, with not much to say, he went and laid down on the couch in my room…and then said, “I’m feeling really sick.”
Great. I felt his head, and he WAS burning up. So, to hurry up the story, I spent until about 2 o’clock in the morning (It was our night off) running to the bathroom, and wetting down wash cloths to keep him cool. I finally went to sleep, and when I woke up, Rick was still sweating and looked pretty bad.
“Well, let me order you some breakfast, maybe after you eat you’ll feel better.”
So, I ordered him some room service: Bacon and eggs, toast and pancakes.
It seemed to take forever, and I remember looking out the window to the parking lot. “Where the heck was it?” I thought. It was at least 95 degrees out, mid-July….one of the hottest days I can ever remember.
And then, the knock came…the food was here. But so was…something else. Something I’ve never seen, or felt, or experience ever again in my entire life.
A young, good-looking blond boy walked in. He had a little red waiters coat on, pretty cute. I was struck by his handsomeness. I wanted to talk to him…to get him to at least notice me. In fact, I felt a strong urge to talk to him…to get HIM to talk. He came in and walked over to a table that was near the window…and I asked him, “How are you today,”
He said nothing. And then, that’s when the whole room, which was being bathed by hot July Sunlight, turned to complete darkness.
Yes. Dark. Like pitch black. Like HEY! Somebody turn on the lights! Dark. Scary Dark. Lost in the forest without a clue dark. Blacker than black dark.
It’s up in the corner and if that darkness comes down on you it will swallow you alive and YOU’RE DEAD! Dark.
As I tried to see the corner of the room, I couldn’t, but I felt a presence that was older than mankind, older than the universe, and it put absolute fear into my soul. And it was up near the ceiling and staring down at me and so I kept trying to talk to this young boy, trying to ‘see’ this evil darkness coming out of everywhere…and trying to talk to him…it was a nightmare.
That young man would not talk. He looked..I don’t know how he looked, I’ve never seen a person look like he did. I tried to give him a tip, but he wouldn’t take it. I tried several times…but he just walked very slowly into the room, stopped and stared at the floor for a few moments, and then slowly turned and walked out.
Rick, was sleeping…but I HAD to sit down. I wondered if I was having a stroke, or a brain hemorrhage, I had no idea what had cause that scary, fearful, and POWERFUL ‘thing” that walked into that room with that young boy, but what I did know, is I wanted it to go away. It was…evil itself.
Remember that, I was not into any supernatural stuff at that time. My main concern during the days and night were just living.
Being the practical person that I am, I woke Rick up and made him eat.
After the boy left, the room went back to normal…but slowly, But…even though the room was normal, my mind it seemed had the heaviest weight on it…as if that black dark matter had infiltrated it’s every crease. I couldn’t get it out. I was depressed, as if the whole world had been swallowed up before my very eyes.
Rick got worse.
“Come on, let’s get you to the hospital.” It took me awhile because he didn’t have the money, so I paid for it…(I wasn’t rich either) I told him he could pay me back someday.
Marion at the time was a small farming town, and the hospital was tiny. We were the only ones in the emergency room, so I couldn’t figure out what was taking so long. Rick was miserable, it was hot, and I was pretty worried about him. Back then, if one member of the band gets sick, everyone loses their pay checks. I have been in many a band where member play sick so that the other members can get paid.
I once played with pneumonia, and 103 fever. In another band that I had, the saxophone player one night got beat up and robbed on his way to the job, and yet he played all night, with a broken jaw.
But…I’m getting off my story.
So, anyway, there we were, losing patient when I heard the most horrifying scream I’ve ever heard.
It was coming from upstairs.. …it was a woman’s voice …
“OH NOOOOOOOOONOOOOONOOOOOONOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
The woman was beyond hysterics…you could hear her screaming all over the hospitals and I’ve never EVER hear that sound since.
The only other sound that has ever scared me to the bone so much was a hungry lion’s roar. You know, one that is about two feet away from you?
Two men came running around the corner and up the stairs and for just a moment I saw an older woman who was fighting them both..and wailing and crying…and a nurse came down the steps and I asked her.
“What happened?”
“They just bought her son in..he died instantly on the highway, his car was hit by a big hauler truck. That’s his mother, we can’t control her. We need to get some more men up there.”
I don’t think I’ve ever felt such sorrow for another human being as I did at that moment.
What a day this is turning out to be I thought to myself.
Rick finally got into so see someone who gave him some pills, and he still wasn’t talking much. But the morning of strangeness still wasn’t over. As we pulled back into the hotel, it looked like a scene right out of the twilight zone.
The staff…the waiters, the bus boys, the cooks, the maids, they were running all over the parking lot randomly as if trying to find an exist. Talking excitedly, “Did you hear?” “Jimmy!” “Did you hear!”
I rolled down my window “Hey…what’ going on?” I asked a cocktail waitress that I knew.
“Jimmy was just killed in an accident on the highway…they can’t even find his body it was so bad…OMG, everybody loved Jimmy!”
“Who’s Jimmy?” I asked.
Jimmy worked in the kitchen.
“Was he working this morning…tall blond kid, about 19?” I asked.
“Yes” She said, “Somebody ordered room service this morning and he left right after that to go home. They said it was a big Semi, he was going really fast.”
It was then that I put it all together. That horrible evil entity in my room, the darkness that followed Jimmy into that room, was death, or destiny, or evil, or dark matter, whatever it was, I just happened to get a very small glimpse into its power.
Did Jimmy KNOW he was going to die? If so, this means that the future might very well be set..and what does that say about physics?
He walked into that room, like he was walking the green mile.
Anyway, that was the story I was going to tell on Coast to Coast. Odds are, I will never tell it. How do you make something scary like a “darkness?” In a movie you could do it, but not just talking.
It would sound like a K-mart shopper special coming from my voice. “We have a special scare today! Dark evil matter…served with a side of bacon!”
And that’s what’s great about Coast to Coast on Halloween…people call in with stories that are almost impossible to understand, but there is no doubt that they happened.
Synchronicity, people being talked to by dead loved ones, receiving signs–this stuff happens all time, and yet, there must be an explanation, right?
What happened to that band? Rick never did get better…he went home soon after that with a bad case of MONO, so that ended that band. Rich went to law school and became a successful lawyer, but still plays a solo act guitar around town on weekends. Charlie is STILL singing, and I heard Paul McCartney gave him a big tip one night. Kelly? Who knows? He was a hell of a piano player. The only white guy I knew who could wear an Afro and look normal in it. I’m sure he still plays. But when I think back on that band, it’s that one night that I remember. ..that night I saw death follow a young man, and snatch him and then smash him like a bug…
If ONLY he would have talked to me. If only.
Next Halloween, I’ll post about my wedding night at Lemp’s Mansion. Who holds their wedding night in a haunted mansion?
Yeah. I wouldn’t advise it.
Nobody Flashes Happy Halloween!
Nobody Flashes
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Don’t worry about that comet that looks like a skull coming at us! That’s not an omen, are you kidding? Imagine the odds?
Excuse me while I go get my Almond Joy bar, some popcorn, and watch Sleepy Hollow reruns. (I know I’m lame.)
Enjoy!
Ann Coulter: Explains Rubio’s Stance on Immigration
Nobody Cares
Slowly the pundits are jumping the Jeb Bush Titanic ship of fools….including the man who was in charge of his campaign. (By the way, has anybody else noticed that Dana Perino sort of disappeared?) So, the ‘money’ people are eyeing Rubio, who is young, handsome, and determined to beat Lindsay Graham in the “I’ll be the greatest Commander-In Chief” contest.
There’s something pretty scary about a man raised in a bar fighting the Chinese, Russia, and ISIS. I just can’t picture Lindsey NOT crying if we are attacked. Putin will take off his shirt, and Lindsey, would probably go have a beer. Hillary would bring another push button. Rubio, what would Rubio do? Give a long speech and probably give himself a year to consider his options.
Rubio was one of the “Gang of Eight” that was going to help out Obama in his quest for more democratic voters, which Ted Cruz just reminded Fox commentator Bret Baier— he stopped dead in its track. Don’t tell TED he never accomplishes anything.
From Adios America!(Ann Coulter, p.42-43)
Marco Rubio went on a worldwide tour swearing that his “comprehensive immigration reform” absolutely insisted on “enforcement first.” Then the bill was unveiled and it said:
Step one: Everyone who is here is legal.
Step two: After they’re amnestied, they can bring in all their relatives.
When would the enforcement part of Rubio’s “Enforcement First!” plan have kicked in? Answer: Never. As Rubio said on Fox News Sunday. “Basically, Homeland Security will have five years to meet that goal. If after five years Homeland Security has not met that number, it will trigger the Border Commission, who will then take over this issue for them.” So if the Department of Homeland Security failed to secure the border, ANOTHER GOVERNMENT COMMISSION WOULD BE CREATED! (That always works, said the Department of Education.) And if the second commission failed, Rubio would personally write a strongly worded letter. Would the 11 million illegal’s already legalized lose that status if the border remained wide open? Of course not. Refer to Step One. But the bill sure would have spent a lot of taxpayer money.
I love Ann Coulter.
Now, if Rubio said that he has changed his attitude, would you trust it?
Can YOU say….Adios America? I’m counting on Ted Cruz and Donald Trump to take him out…and I’m sure, Ann Coulter will be down at the border helping them.
Nobody Remembers House Speaker Henry Clay
Nobody Remembers
I thought that since today, Paul Ryan took over as House Leader, it might be a good time to remember just how the speakership got so powerful.
Nobody hopes that Paul Ryan will not be the dictator that Nancy Pelosi, and John Boehner turned out to be. The spot itself, just like the Presidency, has grown exponentially in power and size beyond what the Constitution meant it to be.
Not many people know this, but Newt Gingrich, once welded the same kind of power over his members, as John Boehner. While Newt was known as the man who put the Republicans back in power in 1994, after fifty years of democratic rule, there were many men and women who went to Washington to serve in Gingrich’s ‘revolution’ and yet, in closed meetings they were told by Newt that either they go HIS way, or none of them would be re-elected or get on committees. Hard to believe, but Newt, after that ‘revolution’, abandoned many of the ideas that he wrote on that Contract with America board and cuddled up to Bill Clinton. The Freedom members of that time, had to admit defeat and just go back home.
When did this ‘power’ of the “speaker ” come about? According to some historians, It was Henry Clay that started it.
From A History of the American People…
Henry Clay (from Kentucky) was probably the most innovative politician in American history , to be ranked with Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison as a political creator. A year after getting to the House he was elected its Speaker. Hitherto, the House had followed the English tradition, whereby the Speaker presided impartially and represented the collective consensus. Clay transformed this essentially non-political post into one of leadership, drilling and controlling a partisan majority and, in the process, making himself the most powerful politician in the country after the President. This made him a key figure in promoting the War of 1812 and in negotiating the Treaty of Ghent: and, somehow or other, he escaped any blame for the war’s disasters and returned from Ghent in Triumph. This led him to think he ought to be secretary of state to the new President, Monroe. When the job went to John Quincy Adams instead, Clay organized and led in the House a systematic. “Loyal opposition” another political innovations.
By all accounts, Henry Clay was a pre-Bill Clinton lovable cad. He was a big playboy, drank and gambled heavily. And he was very rich, due to the deals that he arranged by the power he held.
He was incredibly talented at stacking the house and getting his way. He was a dictator, but as one of the men in the house said about him:
“I don’t like Clay. He is a bad man, an imposter, a creator of wicked schemes. I wouldn’t speak to him but, by God, I love him!”
So, next time you wonder why your “representatives” in Washington D.C. never seem to do what they promised you they would do..
Go ahead. Blame Henry Clay. He expanded the power of the speakership and it remains to this day, next to the Presidency, a position of great power.
Nobody’s Fool: Paul Ryan…He got one thing right. Pray for US!
Nobody’s Fool
Paul Ryan today, grabbed the second most powerful position in the country. 
—-Two points about Paul Ryan’s speech today when he accepted the Speakership to the House.
One: right off he made a very snide comment that I took to be against Donald Trump, he mentioned there would be no ‘conversions.’ It was ad-libbed, and not in his online printed speech.
Two: He made it clear that if the “minority will work in good faith, instead of trying to stop the majority, they might be able to join the majority. This wasn’t meant for the Democrats, this was a bullet aimed right at the backs of the Freedom caucus in the House, who agree and represent the people.
” A neglected minority will gum up the works. A respected minority will work in good faith. Instead of trying to stop the majority, they might try to become the majority.”
So, it will be up to Paul who he wants to “respect.”
And Paul ALSO made it clear, that HIS job, their job, is NOT to echo what the people want.
“But we do not echo the people. We represent them. We are supposed to study up and do the homework that they cannot do. So when we do not follow regular order—when we rush to pass bills a lot of us do not understand—we are not doing our job. Only a fully functioning House can truly represent the people.”
Really? That’s not in the Constitution Paul, is it? That’s a rather interesting interpretation of the document. You’re there to ‘decide’ what’s good for the people? If you think polygamy is “good” for the people, then we just don’t get it? Is bringing in millions of immigrants to take Americans jobs away GOOD for the American people? Is THAT what we want?
So…giving Obama everything that he wanted was in OUR interest? The country’s interest? You ran on conservative values, got to Washington, and decided that the Democrats had the better ideas?
(*$&#^)
That first sentence basically said: You people out there, you don’t know jack shit, and only we, the people in Washington know what’s good for you. You must trust us to do what’s good for you.
($&%^%^)
Paul Ryan in that short speech, will continue to represent the established Mitt Romney, Bush, Clinton, big corporation/ government that dictates and makes all our lives miserable.
Now, more than ever, we need an outsider like Trump for President. Trump will side with that small minority that echo’s the people’s wishes, and who are suppose to represent their states, and voters. The people need a “people’s” President. While Trump did say we should be able to bring in the brighter minds from outside, I don’t think he would go so far as to say that they should replace our own workers…in every single field. I’ll be watching him for that remark.
Sadly, Paul Ryan got cocky. He sold out.
Nobody thinks Paul Ryan taking over the leadership in the house has been planned for a long time, and Mitt Romney was in the background making it happen. He was there today grinning like a proud papa.
The chess pieces are being slowly put in place.
Now…let’s see what Paul Ryan is going to bring into fruition to the American people.
Exhibit A: Who owns Congress? Who are “we the people” REALLY fighting? Carly Fiorina would agree…the big elites.
Let’s start with Disney…
Thanks to Trump, We Only Had to Suffer Two Hours…Thanks Donald!
Nobody Knows…
That THIS was my favorite moment in the third Republican debate tonight on MSNBC. Ted Cruz…had the presence of mind to actually listen to the questions to everyone, and in the finest moments of a Jimmy Stewart “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” moment, he laid out the commentator and their demeaning questions in 55 seconds.
Brilliant.
If you listened to FOX, Marco Rubio won. If you listen to the liberal stations, they were impressed with Ben Carson. BUT…if you took care to go to Drudge and some of the other polls on the internet, Trump was the winner, not Ben Carson. People just like him.
The talk of the night was that Jeb Bush was terrible. And he was. He looked pale— and the attack on Rubio was so STUPID, it almost looked rehearsed and planned because nobody could be that stupid. It was about Marco’s job in the Senate and the fact that he isn’t doing his job.
In Jeb’s closing statement, he coughed. If he says tomorrow that he wasn’t feeling well, then I’d say he really is worse than we all thought, and he just wants out of it all. Clearly Britt Hume was upset.
Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina, Huckabee, and Christie all spoke well…but here’s what I heard:
Christie, ALWAYS looked directly into the camera when he spoke, because he knows how to play his act of straight shooter. BUT…we haven’t forgotten how he kissed up to Obama after Sandy and pushed Obama into the Presidency and he did it to hurt Mitt Romney. No question in my mind about that. So thanks Chris, but no thanks.
Carly, as usual is a delight. But there were no surprises here. Her main point being there always talk and nothing is done.
Huckabee made great points on the Clintons and Social Security.
Rand Paul and Christie argued that there IS no money in Social Security, so people will have to take less and retire later. Huckabee stuck up for the people: it’s theft. Pragmatic as it may be to ‘fix’ Social Security, the fact that Paul and Christie are so “who cares’ about the crimes committed by our government, put Huckabee in the moral right. And that’s why Paul and Christie are low on the polls.
Ben Carson, was NOT prepared. He kept looking at his notes, and basically said the same things that are in his book. His speaking is slow…it’s so important for the President to speak well. It’s the main reason Obama got elected. As Obama said, he DOES have a gift, as did Hitler. Carson has a fine mind, but speaking is not his strong point. He was weak tonight.
Trump was himself. Honest. To the point, and to be fair, they stayed away from him…so he didn’t get to say much and the questions were the same ones he had before. Not his fault, but then again, most Americans are not fooled. He got in a few good remarks about John Kasich.
And speaking of John Kasich, somebody at CNN gave him the most airtime. That guy is just plain creepy.
Yes, the liberal media LOVED Kasich, and that “I was RAISED in a bar!” hilarious jokester, Lindsay Graham, who will no doubt take Rand Paul’s place in the next debate.
The underdog of the night? Rick Santorum.
He seems to be the least political of them all. I must admit, my heart went out to the way everyone treats him like a simple nobody. I think in the end, he is the old-fashioned Jimmy Stewart.
As for Rubio? The kids loved him. Once upon a time Jeb Bush was his mentor, and perhaps was keeping him in the wings to be his V.P. But Rubio, as Trump said: betrayed him. Rubio is just a better speaker…and he knows it.
This Nobody thinks perhaps now, the big money Rino’s will be now pushing Rubio, simply because Jeb is just done. They need a Spanish-speaking President, and Fox will be backing Rubio now. Rubio will be much like Paul Ryan…amnesty will be assured. The young will want Rubio, main street older Americans, will stick to Trump or Cruz.
The question is: Will Jeb Bush drop out?
Nobody Knows.
Nobody Wonders Who John Bonehead Boehner Works For?
Nobody Wonders
—-If John Boehner has held the final collapsing of America’s economy by joining with the democrats in passing a $5 trillion dollar debt budget to be passed on to future generations on the same day that it was announced that Trump lost his leadership to Ben Carson— and on the same day of the ever so important second Republican debate, just to make sure that nobody noticed the great treason being done at midnight by their elected officials? Democrats do this all the time. 
—-If this treasonous act was done so that the leaders of the republican party would make sure that their man, Paul Ryan, wouldn’t have to do it—-thereby paving the way for his election to House Leader?
—-If Donald Trump truly IS losing to Ben Carson? All this happened in one day. Nothing particularly newsworthy happened to influence his great lead to go up in smoke, and Trump’s crowds have been the biggest of any candidate. Ben Carson has been doing, like Hillary…little luncheons. I don’t buy it. We have seen FOX news basically be completely in the hock for Jeb Bush, and pushing the new party agenda. Is it a lie? Won’t that alone push the ratings out of the roof for tonight’s debate?
—If Windows 10 was given away FREE this year, and the next, in order to influence the Presidential 2016 vote by influencing the news headlines and articles that everyone reads on its main sites. As it’s been pointed out…Google and Bing could be the deciding factor in the next election. I just got Windows 10…the headlines read like Nancy Pelosi is the editor-in-chief.
—-if Hillary Clinton, like Rush Limbaugh suggested today, truly IS going to be our next President, secretly backed by BOTH the NWO republican leadership and the democrats, for the main reason that she is Wall Street’s favorite, Saudi Arabia’s favorite, and a must for the simple reason, that IF any American citizen dares criticizes her, they will be called a misogamist. The Race card will turn into the Gender card. It has worked with Obama. It will work with Hillary. It’s all about keeping that office firmly intact, and in the hands of the fascist/dictator one-party banana republic of Post America. 
—–If the attack on bacon is Obama’s gift to his Muslim American friends?
__If the German people will rise up and fight for their homeland?
—If liver detoxes really work, (I’m doing one now) because otherwise, I’m out $100.
—if my dog is still mad at me for giving her a bath?
—if anybody is still reading me?
Nobody Asks: “Where’s the Beef?”
Nobody Wins
I was talking today to a State Farm Insurance agent on the phone, and the guy wanted to sell me some insurance:
“I live between a possible nuclear explosion and Ferguson— if one doesn’t get the house, then the looting afterwards will. What are my chances of getting a good rate?” I asked.
He just laughed.
As I got off the phone, I started thinking about my last doctor’s visit, when I told him I just wasn’t feeling really peppy, and he said, and I QUOTE:
“Well, we are all going to die of something.”
His jolly attitude along keeps me trying to stay healthy.
Last Monday, we received the delightful news from just about every media state-run orifice that if you eat any kind of processed meat, you WILL get cancer. It’s official now.
VIA PBS News hour:
Bacon, sausage and other processed meats are now ranked alongside cigarettes and asbestos as known carcinogens, the World Health Organization announced today. Processed meats cause cancer, and red meat likely causes cancer, the health agency says in a new report.
**************
Processed meat now falls into “group 1,” meaning it ranks as high as tobacco smoking, the most dangerous variants of human papillomavirus (HPV) and asbestos exposure in terms of causing cancer. Red meat lands in “group 2A” with inorganic lead.
*******************
Research in rodents and human tissue shows meat consumption increases the production of chemical compounds, including haem iron and its chemical byproduct N-nitroso-compounds (NOCs). NOCs cause oxidative damage to intestinal tissue that is carcinogenic. Curing meats elevates the levels of NOCs as well as carcinogenic compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Heating meat leads to the formation of heterocyclic aromatic amines, a known mutagen and cancer-causing agent.
Whoa. Do you really think they are going to stop selling hot dogs at the World Series now? Are the Senators going to ban porterhouse steaks from the Senator lunch room menu? Are we coming to a world where only the one percenters can afford to eat….MEAT? The rest of us will have to survive on protein drinks and energy bars?
Just last week I had read a piece written by a doctor who had diabetes and figured out that the cause of all the type two diabetes was that her patients were not getting enough FAT. Yes, her theory was that eating the wrong kind of fat overloads your pancreas and you make TOO much insulin, and therefore your ability to make insulin shuts off. So, she herself starting eating..the RIGHT kind of fat, and got rid of her diabetes.
What WAS the right kind of fat? Baaaaacon! That’s right. Bacon, eggs, and sausage. And you know what? I have never been much of a breakfast eater, but I have noticed that if I eat eggs and bacon in the morning…I am fueled up for hours, never crave sugar, and feel great.
And now, they want to take that away from us all, by scaring us.
It’s their favorite method of control isn’t it?
Of course they got a bunch of scientist to confirm the findings…and some of it does makes sense, sure. You eat too much of anything, and the crap they pump in the food nowadays is bad for you.
The hormones in the chickens and the cows, and all this ‘chemistry’ is hurting us.
BUT..
Humans are carnivores. It’s a fact. There is a lot of evolutionary proof that the big brain we developed came about AFTER we started eating meat. The brain is 60 percent FAT. We need all the fat and protein we can get to keep it going.
Honesty. What do you think has more garbage in it for breakfast…one of those ‘protein’ bars you see in every store now, or bacon and eggs? I walked out of my local grocery store the other day and they had THOUSANDS of those bars just waiting to be plucked as soon as you got out of line to go out to your car.
So, to eat meat, or not to eat meat? My husband recently stopped eating processed meat and he lost 40 pounds. There must be something to that right?
Or was it the four Twinkies and six Mountain Dew a day that did it? (I’m going for answer no. 2, but he thinks it the meat. )
Here’s what I remember: A long time ago, I had gotten into a conversation about this very subject with a man I was dating at the time. This man had a scientist brother whose was beyond questioning, a man who would know.
“Lee..” I said. “Do you think humans are really vegetarians, and shouldn’t eat meat? What does your brother say.”
“Oh..absolutely.” he said. “Humans are meat eaters. We need it to survive. My brother would agree.”
His brother was none other than Jonas Salk. The man who invented the polio vaccine.
I think I’ll stick to the scientists I know…the old fashioned scientists who weren’t owned by Al Gore or the World Health Organization.
Besides, i just saw a lady a couple of weeks ago who had reached the grand old age of 105, and was still sharp. When asked her secret she said, “I eat BACON every day! ”
And so we should never forget the words of one of the greatest lines ever spoken by a woman:
‘Where’s the Beef!?” And go on and enjoy it while we still can.
By the way, if EATING meat made our brains grow larger, what will happen if we stop eating meat? 
Just saying.
Nobody Reports: Ben Carson to Win?
Nobody Reports
The BIG excitement in little Karl Rove’s mind today was that the race is not over! Ben Carson is leading big time in Iowa and therefore, Jeb Bush has a chance to win the Presidency!
FIRST: Anybody with any sense knows that ‘polls’ can be manipulated, the same way as millions of dead people can vote for democrats….and how did this big surge happen? If it did, it’s in one state, and the poll was taken right after Ben Carson told the media he didn’t think a Muslim should be in the Oval office. How many Christians believe right now, that we already have a Muslim in the White House…raise your hands…..okay.
So far…Donald hasn’t declared that Obama is a Muslim. Neither did Carson for that matter, but there you go..it was implied.
Nevertheless, this fits in the Bush’s plan to push Ben Carson to knock Donald Trump out of the race, therefore making it easy for Jeb Bush to win. As I wrote before…I think the Bushes have been planning this strategy for years, when I found out that President George W. Bush awarded Ben Carson the Congressional Metal….politicians do not do these things for nothing.
If you follow their actions, instead of their words, The Bushes, the Clintons AND the Obama’s work for those lovely men behind the scenes, the men that Rush Limbaugh call the elites money men, who WILL have their way. Nobody remembers that Rupert Murdoch said before Ben’s big surge that he thought a REAL black man might be the ticket. (Another reason I feel this is their strategy)
But back to Ben…in his book he said this about his popularity:
“I believe what they are really clamoring for is not me per se, but for the return of common sense and intelligible speech to solve our ever increasing problems. “
Right you are Ben. Problems created by the Bushes, The Clintons, the Obama’s.
Many a conservative would be happy for even a Ben Carson for President IF ONLY he could stand up to the Bushes and the Clintons…but can he?
Trump supporters are still out there, and Rush is right….and the one thing that is good about the Bush camp pushing Jeb to overturn Trump is:
Jeb still looks stupid.
Nobody’s Perfect: The Bushes VS The Man Who Fell Asleep On a Toilet
Nobody’s Perfect:
This week…we have the Bushes VS the Man Who Fell Asleep On a Toilet.
Some people can’t help themselves…there is a time that you must rise to the occasion, and either sound like viable candidate or get off the toilet.
Literally.
Let’s start with Jeb Bush. I don’t even check his ratings anymore. He has fallen so low in his popularity polls, even Angela Merkel has more fans. Heck, my DOG has more fans.
Jeb has two famous fans though, and they had to come out to try to rescue the poor boy last week.
To be fair, the Bushes knew from the start that Jeb didn’t stand a chance, but that didn’t stop the Bush family. Jeb, now has brought out Dad and bro to hopefully convince everyone that little Jeb should be President.
Jeb—trying to wake up from his “low energy” brand, said this when speaking about Trump:
“A presidential candidate needs to talk to people that have proven experience in the field and listen.”
WE NOBODIES remember when his brother George W., had his DADDY’s best team of experience men, and look what a mess they made of Iraq? (BAAAP)
Jeb Says:
“Have the humility to listen before you have an opinion and then recognize the power of the presidency as it relates to crafting foreign policy and do it in a way that is true to our values.”
Nobody says: What values does the Bush family have? Give America to the Mexicans? Keep losing the wars overseas? Love Hillary Clinton? Some values. Jeb Bush also talked about his skills, touting his experience living, traveling and doing business overseas, and as governor, conducting trade missions.
Nobody says: Well Jeb… Trump has done more business overseas than you…try again.
Jeb says:
“You do it with a strategy, you do it with an exit strategy as well and you do it when it’s in our security interest,” he asserted.
Trump has to be laughing. Right. Your brother didn’t HAVE an exit strategy. And speaking of his brother, where has he been for 8 years? He’s been asleep on his couch, munching on pretzels, just getting up to paint a few pictures and go on a few bike rides with soldiers photo ops.
George W. says his brother:
“is going to win the Latino vote which is essential to winning” — and added that it’s essential not to “irritate the Latino vote.”
There you go: Jeb speaks Spanish, so he will win. Clinton was the first black President, Obama was the first gay President, and Jeb will be the first Spanish President if the first woman President doesn’t win. Have we got that yet?
No matter how many Bushes come out of the woodwork to glorify Jeb, I agree with Trump. Jeb has such low energy you get the feeling that he just doesn’t WANT to be President. It’s his father and his brother who want back into the Oval office.
Jeb, is already tired of it all.
Which brings us to the man who fell asleep on the inside of a toilet…for seven hours.
VIA FOX SOCCER BLOG:
According to The Star (Sheffield), seven hours after the Football League One match between Barnsley and Fleewood, firefighters had to rescue a Barnsley fan who had fallen asleep on the toilet inside of Oakwell stadium.
Workers at the stadium received a call late that evening that alarms in the stadium were going off. When they arrived, they found a young man standing on top of a portakabin, a portable building, shouting for help.
This is what a spokesmen from the firefighters had to say:
“We got the call through to attend Oakwell and usually it’s just a false alarm. But we turned up and saw this young lad on top of the portakabin trying to get our attention. We had to get the ladder to get him down. He had no shoes on and had lost his mobile phone and his hat. He was more bothered about his hat though, he seemed a smartly dressed lad.”
He reportedly told the firefighters that he had a ‘few beers’ and simply woke up seven hours after, while on the toilet.
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award for the week?
Is it Jeb Bush? A man who is so lethargic that he needed his family to come out and try to wake everybody up to his greatness?
Or was it the guy who fell asleep on a toilet and had to be rescued?
Frankly, I don’t see much difference between the two. They could easily trade places.
But—- Congratulations Jeb! You win the Nobody’s Perfect Award for putting the nation to sleep even when you are trying NOT to.
Next time Jeb, don’t call your Dad and Brother…call your local Firemen.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
