Uh…Excuse Me Mr. McCain: Weren’t You IN Mordor?
Nobody Wins
–when you have a liberal-globalist disguised as a Republican putting down the new freshmen in the House and calling them “hobbits.”
I like to remind you John, the hobbits saved Middle Earth. What have you done lately?
Oh..insult us? Well John…this hobbit thinks you spent too many years being tortured by communists and are suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome. I know I’m supposed to be impressed that your plane was shot down and you were captured, but that in itself does not make you a hero. You don’t even hold a candle to the many brave men and women who are serving right now.
John McCain is the perfect example of the career politician who works for the “global” government. You know, that secret cabal who seem to be able to make career politicians stick around till they die? Giving them Senate seats in places they have never lived…(like Hillary moving to New York) just to keep the people’s representatives from ever gaining power.
It’s bad enough that we have to fight the Democrats, now, the Rhino’s are just as dangerous. Pelosi said this morning,
“What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget. We’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today”
Nancy saving life on this planet? The only way she could do that would be to leave.
How DARE John McCain make fun of the American people.
Many of us hope that the “hobbits” would hold back Mordor, because John McCain has spent a little too much time there. The guy really is starting to look like Gollumn.
As bad as Obama is, this Nobody Thinks we wouldn’t be in any better shape if McCain had won.
The Rhino leaders in the House played a short movie clip to rally the “tea party” people. Ben Affleck come into the scene and says:
“I need your help. I can’t tell you what it is, and you can never ask me, but we are going to hurt some people.’
HUH? You can’t TELL us, and we can never ASK you why? You really ARE dictators!
Don’t tell that to a real American and expect his support.
Obama will just come in and “save” the day by being the dictator that he is and “raise” the limit, if this all keep going, because if they pass anything, it will mean almost nothing.
And then this Christmas, we will all have thousands of extra dollars to spend, according to the White House.
Wait…we won’t?
Well, if we don’t, I blame John McCain….a REAL creep show if there ever was one.
Sorry..it’s the Sam in me coming out.
The guy is just….creepy.
Harry Reid–Go Smell the Garbage
Nobody Reports:
“We have the latest report on the debt talks.” said the commentator. And up to the microphone came Harry Reid, who proclaimed, that there was no deal in the debt talks yet because the Tea Party was holding hostage to the American people.
Uh….say again Harry?
Basically saying, all the people in the Tea Party, (probably by all accounts, at least half of the population) were not American. It was one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
Tonight I searched the net for the video, but it’s gone. Even Fox didn’t have it. I’m sure they all agreed Harry is getting senile and a quote like that, if played relentlessly, would sink the Democrats, it was just that idiotic.
Harry HATES the Tea Party. In other words, he hates the Americans who want our country back.
“Their agenda is an extreme agenda. I don’t agree with their ideas on social policy. But in our democracy, those ideas, however radical, deserve a debate if they want one.”
Yes, family, God, small government…freedom..that agenda is now… radical.
“But now the Tea Party is trying to sneak through its extreme social agenda – issues that have nothing to do with funding the government. They are willing to throw women under the bus, even if it means they’ll shut down the government.”
You know who else hates the Tea Party? The “liberal blacks.” If you got some time, just go to YouTube, search “exterminate white people” and check out all the blacks suggesting all white people be exterminated.
Now, try to find one “Tea Party” person who has said, “Let’s exterminate all the blacks.” Oh you can’t? Well, just imagine any white person posting a video like that on Youtube..and then imagine him getting arrested for a hate crime, because that’s exactly what would happen. But, the blacks get by with it.
Harry Reid thinks the Tea Party will disappear. They are “radicals.” Well Harry, the Tea Party is only going to get bigger. And even blacks are starting to join. Hope you have a good retirement home ready. The Tea Party people won’t begrudge your lack of class, we will even throw in a copy of the Constitution for you to pass the time.
Sam Adams…would be proud of this day. Harry Reid, by disowning the REAL Americans, who he considers garbage, are starting to pile up on his front door, and I hope the smell of true American spirits stinks him right out-of-town.
Go home Harry…..and smell the garbage.
Obama, Terror, and the Unmaking of America
Nobody Wins
Terror often arises from a pervasive sense of disestablishment: that things are in the unmaking …Stephen King
One thing you can say about most of the Republicans: When they don’t get their way, they are very lame. Not so the Democrats…they throw big temper tantrums. Veins stick out. Lips tighten. Fingers go up. They make DEMANDS. Do what I say: right now.
Remember when Bill Clinton got mad about being impeached and then went out the next day and bombed an aspirin factory? Obama’s numbers started dropping, and he went and dropped bombs on Libya.
And our Congress…lets them.
At this point, I’m all for getting rid of the office. The ones in power go into megalomania, and the older ones just won’t go away. Each President gives themselves even more power than the last, by executive degree.
Like Kings crowning themselves. It’s NOT what our founders intended.
While watching Obama throw his little temper tantrum on TV today, his anger barely being held beneath his condescending exterior— all nobody keep thinking was, “Hid the football!” We saw the great “black” rage of Obama today, because he wants more money, and John Boehner, the majority leader of the House said, “no more taxes” and then walked out. Good for him.
Obama got so pissed off he called a news conference, immediately. NOBODY walks out on Obama.
Uh….didn’t Obama walk out on John Beohner just a few days ago? I’m pretty sure he did. What? He can walk out, but nobody else can?
The speech was the usually democratic repetitious propaganda: “We” need more revenue, and a BIG DEAL, and he’d better get his way because the Republicans want to punish the middle class and the poor.
Frankly, I think Obama has been doing just fine in the area of punishing the middle class and poor.
There is only one thing Obama knows how to do really well…strike terror into everyone who is listening. His mindset is : Lie, deceit, and destroy. Obama causes chaos, which many say: is his intention.
So, what’s this all about? Here’s how one nobody put what’s at stake:
“Obama’s only chance at re-election is to get the GOP House to agree to a tax increase. This would anger GOP voters, and get them to stay home, and get Obama re-elected. Just say no to any tax increase, and he is gone in 2012, guaranteed. “
What stuck terror into my beating heart today was this: I heard a respected news reporter say that IF the debt limit is not raised, then the process of deciding where all the money will go will be up to the President and the Secretary of the Treasury.
What? Isn’t Congress suppose to do that according to our Constitution? Do we even HAVE a Constitution anymore?
Bill Clinton says Obama should just site the 14th Amendment and do what he wants.
You know, I’m about fed up with Bill Clinton. I don’t know about you, but at this moment in time, I almost wish some bimbo would take him to Alaska and leave him on an iceberg with Al Gore.
Nobody Thinks the crooks in Washington have run up such a big debt hole, passing trillions to their friends, and leaving us with the bill, and we know it. And they KNOW we know it. So they are passing the hot potato subject of “budget” cuts back and forth so that no one is left standing with it in their hands. And the rest of us that are watching this feud feel…that things are in the unmaking…forever.
If Obama gets his way…getting complete control of the money: terror might not be here yet, but it’s coming.
Obama Sneaks a Draconian Tax: HR 4646..Watch for it.
Nobody Flashes:
Okay—so I spent too much time in the pool today, and there must have been some brain melt there because all I want to do is watch Sam and Dean kill Ruby one more time. (Supernatural is addicting) For once, I feel like telling all my own pesky and raving opinions to go take a hike.
Those who have attended a online masters degree program will recongize what a bad deal this is.
Nobody watched Rupert Murdoch today, stand up to the British Inquisition while being smeared with shaving cream. Really a prime moment for the British Parliament of elites— sadly, we here in America are their progenitors.
So, I’m posting this email I got because it REALLY makes me want to jump right back in the pool and cool off. Obama is going to tax us on bank transaction. This HR4646, is a nightmare.
(Thanks to Pattie)
Subject: 1% tax on all bank transactions
I RECEIVED THIS TODAY FROM VFW MEMBER
Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE in case you think Obama’s looking out for your best interest. 1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646.
This government just cannot think of enough ways to hurt the American people! I sure hope this dies!!!!
FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 –
ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP.
Checked this on snopes, it’s true! Check out HR 4646. President Obama’s finance team is recommending a one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama’s plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution – banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your account, will have a 1% tax charged.
If your paycheck or your social security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction. If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check into your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged.
You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank. If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged.
Mind you, this is from the man who promised that, if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax.
Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn about this guy’s under-the-table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed.
Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed
it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank.
Remember, any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.
Some will say, oh well, it’s just 1%. Are you kidding me? It’s a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say, “Oh, that’s not really a tax, it’s a user fee”!
Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you made from last year’s banking statements. Then add the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%. Still think it’s no big deal???
What was YOUR Favorite Car?
Nobody’s Opinion:
For over a year now, I have been turning to my husband and saying when we drive , “Where is everybody? It’s Sunday!” It upsets me that on certain days the streets are empty, and not for lack of people. What are they doing? Hiding in their cell phones?
I know why: Everyone has to conserve gas, …trips are being carefully planned by all of us, and I KNOW it’s shouldn’t bug me…but it does. The car to most Americans– represents, plain and simple: freedom. Especially if you live in California, where according to the movie, “MACHETE” we will be invaded by Mexicans in their elevated chassis, bearing giant machine guns, bazookas, and various home-made bombs, with men reeking of the need for a strong deodorant.
The future’s so bright, I gotta wear a bullet proof vest.
Obama has made it clear: He wants us OUT of our cars, and onto the trains. I don’t know how most feel about it, but if you lose the ability to get in your car and drive to Colorado, or New York, or Texas, and you lose your freedom.
I woke up thinking about this…really. I was remembering all the cars that I have owned, and realized I could measure the years and events of my life by my cars. America has been…all about the car. Just ask P.J. O’Rourke. For the boys: it the car. You reach puberty and that first car is probably, next to sex, the most important thing on your mind.
So, my second waking thought was— Why did I like one car over another? My favorite car, was not what you would have expected.
“The Purple People Eater” was my first car. I was sixteen, and I had purple everything: boots, bell-bottoms, shirts, dresses, eye shadow to match. It was my ticket to college.
Free at last! I liked that so much, that I traded it in for a brown duster. My favorite memory was in that Duster: I was eighteen when I asked a young fellow to be my escort, and we drove 13 hours straight into New Orleans, to see Mardi Gras, where we both, innocent as lambs, went to our first strip bar, and got kicked OUT of our first strip bar, because neither one of us had more than dollar bills on us. The strippers had to have tens. Who knew? But the back seat folded down, and left plenty of room for two to sleep. And you know what? We were completely innocent. Not even a kiss. I remember, a hand on my hip, because it was cold. Boy, was I ever so glad he was there.
Now, I came back, and my parents, who were real sticklers about trading in a car every three years, talked me into getting rid of it. So, I got a blue firebird, with white leather seats. I remember the guy who sold me the car, he could NOT believe that I actually wanted to keep my old brown duster. (That’s me standing next to the car, the day I bought it. )
Later…I traded that blue firebird in for a van, because, as a musician I had a lot of equipment to haul. I had four 4560 JBL speakers, and they took up the whole back end. The whole inside was carpeted. I loved that van, and had it for a good ten years, but then I traded it in for another firebird. A truly beautiful yellow.
When I saw that care on the Pontiac display floor, I wanted it bad. The headlights folded up..so cool. . My five year old son kept saying “Get this one mommy” …Okay. Sold. I kept it and gave it to him when he was sixteen.
That’s him going to his first dance.
Once, Americans could fix any car. It’s one of the reasons we won WWII. When a machine broke down, our men could fix them, the Germans, not so much. Now, with parts from all over the globe. Give it up. Unless you are fortunate enough to have the talent to fix cars. Those men should be videotaped and their knowledge preserved. Hell…those men should be worshipped.
We are a vast country, and when Obama starts into his dreams of high speed trains everywhere, it gives me the willies. Here in St. Louis we have a train going downtown, and be real, I won’t ride it. Why? I can sit in a air conditioned car, with the power of the wheel, the speed as I pass the lonely streets…are you kidding? Take away the freedom to explore?
The elites want to change all that. If they had their way, we’d all go to work holding our lunch bags cruising along on our Segways.
Nobody says” You will tear my car out of my cold dead hands!”
Every car in my life brings back memories…drive in movies, back seats, driving in a blizzard in the mountains of Colorado. Even being tortured by the vast wheat fields of Kansas. I had some pretty nice memories…the yellow firebird was my favoirte to drive, but memories? The brown duster wins hands down.
You want to know why?
Because it was in that plain old brown Duster that I learned, that men can be noble, kind, sweet, gentle, and your best friend if you let them. They are not all out to get women, and trust me, that was the message from the great feminists at the time. I don’t know what it’s like for men, but I still wonder where Mike is. Looking back on it, he looked like a young Keeana Reeves. And If I had to do it all over again, I might never have gotten the blue firebird. I’m a practical gal.
UNLESS of course, you gave me the new
Lamborghini Aventador.
I’ve had many cars since then. But, we should make sure, that it’s not just the elites to get to drive cars in the future, don’t you think?

Nobody Wins:
“The president has presented us with three choices: smoke and mirrors, tax hikes, or default. Republicans choose none of the above. I had hoped to do good, but I refuse to do harm. So Republicans will choose a path that actually reflects the will of the people, which is to do the responsible thing and ensure that the government doesn’t default on its obligations,” he said. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell
In blatant contradiction to the Constitution and intent for the separation of powers, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell has proposed solving the debt ceiling issue by handing over the power of the purse (specified under Section 1 Article 8 of the Constitution) over to the Office of the Presidency.
The Giant BlackEyed Pea-Brain of Barack
Nobody Cares
–that our President can’t stop looking down his nose and talking to all of us as if we are mere children to scold. It’s not just us, he treats anyone who disagrees with him like that. I don’t know who writes his little snobby sound bites, but I’d like to drop him right into the middle of a big batch of…skunk pudding, and tell him (or her?) to read something else besides kitchen recipes.
I didn’t like it when President Clinton wagged his finger in anger at the American people who pay his salary, and I certainly don’t like it when President Obama wags his finger at us, and gets mad when he doesn’t get his way. Something tells me I’m not alone in that.
But he sure does like to “dictate” what he wants, doesn’t he? Today, DADDY Obama said this:
“It’s time to pull off the Band-Aid and eat our peas.”
Let me get this straight: Obama has spent more money than all the past Presidents combined, and NOW he wants to fix it, by having us give him MORE money?
Who’s the big glutton here?
NOBODY SAYS: You stop giving all those big expensive parties for all your friends, taking all those expensive vacations, and giving away trillions to big unions, and Wall Street, and other countries like Greece (He just gave them another 780 BILLION for a bailout) and stop acting like the spoiled dictator child in diapers first, who likes to start expensive new wars to make himself feel important, and we’ll eat whatever we please Mr. President, because we pay YOU.
Oh…that just never sank in, did it?
Today, it was reported that Michelle Obama had a big hamburger with French fries, which contained enough calories to float a fat friggin flotilla—setting another fine example of how the elite can do whatever they want, while telling the rest of us to sacrifice.
(Manage your own wife first, Barak).
Obama acts as if HE makes the final decision on the debt ceiling question. But according to Ron Paul, a balanced budget amendment doesn’t even require the signature of the Presidents. It simply needs Congress to stand up.
Bonehead and Obama have been coming out all day, one saying “I will not raise taxes,” and the other saying, “You WILL agree to raise taxes.” Rand Paul says this:
“What they’re talking about would disgust you. They’re plotting to raise the debt ceiling by 2.4 TRILLION dollars more now, with the promise of just a few cuts later. “
Meanwhile, Little Timmy Geithner keeps threatening economic Armageddon: “If they don’t act, then we face catastrophic damage to the American economy.” He says we will suffer…for a long time. It’s was a big, blatant, ugly threat.
NOBODY SAYS: Well Timmy, come to my neighborhood. You have already pretty much destroyed it, and it didn’t take you long. We’re already suffering. What…there’s more?
Master Pea maker Obama gets even more insidious:
Washington Post:
He flat-out rejected the idea of a short-term deal — 30, 60, 90 or even 180 days — on the debt ceiling by noting that “this is the United States of America, and we don’t manage our affairs in three-month increments.” (Hard not to hear parental echoes in that line; “That’s not the way we do things in this house….”)
NOBODY SAYS: Well, let’s see..since the democrats have been in power, they didn’t even pass a budget…and they’ve been in power since…2008…that’s over three years, a lot longer than 3 months. What were they waiting for? Can you say” Scapegoat?”
So, both parties will agree…cut the old people’s benefits. The Medicare, and Social Security, because those are both in the deep read anyway. And taxes will be raised…just not before the next election, where the REAL hurt will come in.
Obama stressed that “nobody’s looking to raise taxes right now.” Instead, he said, “what we have talked about is that starting in 2013 that we have gotten rid of some of these egregious loopholes that are benefiting corporate jet owners or oil companies at a time where they’re making billions of dollars of profits”
NOBODY SAYS: in Obama speak it really means what’s left of the private sector will be destroyed. Small businesses will go first. The ONLY way he can get his way is to make us all jealous of rich people. It’s an old communist ploy that works every time.
So, what will happen in the next few days? They will either come to a deal, which will be a farce, but they will both spin it as a good thing: or there will be no deal, and Obama will just raise the ceiling debt citing the 14th amendment, to save the “country” OR, the deal they sign will have spending cuts in trade for tax increases, but the spending cuts will never come.
That’s what the Democrats did to Reagan in 1986. That’s the way they work.
NOBODY WONDERS if Craig Smith is right: There is a planned strategy, and it’s called Inflatoccracy:
Inflatocracy is a form of government, Smith and Ponte explain, “in which deliberately debasing our money has become a primary tool of social engineering, drug-like mind manipulation, wealth redistribution, secret taxation, and political power.”
What we need now, is for enough of the Congress to stand up to the Black-eyed Pea-head in the executive office and say;
“Eat you own peas, pea-brain.”
H.R. 1249: Say Goodbye To Your Dreams
Nobody Knows—
That one of the most important rule of laws, is about to be destroyed: our United States Patent System. Congress will be voting soon on H.R. 1249. The powerful corporations like GE and Disney have been working for YEARS to get this done. Having gone through the patent process myself, I have seen the “not made here” draconian wall in every big company. But, there was still a small chance, although I’ve seen it grow slighter as the years have gone by, that a small inventor could have an honest chance of taking a new idea, and actually go on to profit from that idea, and be protected from anyone stealing it, especially bigger companies.
The only place that we have seen this really happen is in the computer industry. And think about it: all those computer wiz boys came out of Harvard and Stanford, the very same place our politicians are hatched.
Still, we must not forget that some of our greatest inventions were from people who were just nobodies: The Wright Brothers, Tom Edison…Eli Whitney. It WAS the biggest part of the American dream.
Phyllis Schlafly has been sounding the alarm on this bill for weeks:
According to seven scholarly law review articles, this is flat-out unconstitutional. Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the Constitution requires Congress to protect “inventors,” not someone handing a piece of paper to a government bureaucrat. The Founding Fathers understood the importance of protecting inventions, so they included protection for inventors in the Constitution even before rights to free speech and freedom of religion! This bill is not getting much attention, because certain Congressmen want to reward big corporate interests in their districts by slipping the bill through quickly before other Representatives and the American people have a chance to discover how bad it is. Just like ObamaCare was, this bill is being fast-tracked, pieced together through back room deals and compromises behind closed doors.
What H.R. 1249 does change, is the rules from “first to invent” to “first to file,” which means, you could have the idea, notebook it, invent it, witness it, and apply to the patent office. they would THEN post your “patent pending” invention ON the internet patent system, and any country in the world could take that idea and with much more money, and claim “first to file” by rushing their lawyers to beat your file by predating THEIR version, and the little inventor would have to go to court to protect his claim, and of course he cannot ever dream of winning against the big corporations, who can spend billions. The last thing they want to do is compete with some little guy, who with a few bucks, and the protection of the government, manages to come up with a better idea then the same people they are spending millions to create for them.
And that’s why we are becoming more fascistic every single day.
The corporations are buying off our polticians. The conservatives that take their bribes are called Rhinos. I suggest we call the liberals who whore for them…Dinos. And Obama is one of them.
And if you think GE getting Congress to outlaw your lightbulb (and making sure no one else can put them on the market) is just good old capitalism at it’s best, then I have to wonder where you put your teeth, because I bet you, you can’t find them, due to senility.
Waiting for your patent to be approved takes around three years, because there is a shortage of patent lawyers, and that’s because our Congress has been stealing the money away from the patent office and spreading it around to wherever and whomever they want.
They love to do that…you know— spread it around. (Go ahead, say it…Wiener!)
What many people don’t realize is that the big companies want, is all inventions to be owned by the few big multinational companies. If you have a great idea, and work for GE, it’s not you who owns and profits off that patent, its the company. The goal is to eliminate the little inventor that the big companies don’t control.
What this is really going to do is destroy the one best thing that made America great…our creativity. (And that includes our Constitution.)
Say…you invent the best new invention while working for GE, would YOU want them to profit off it?
Hell no! You would quit and do it yourself. And under the old American patent system, you would be allowed to, and protected while doing it. HR 1249 will lead to a world were the freedom to invent will be controlled by our government/corporation complex. It will be up to them to control, what gets invented, and by whom.
I’m calling my Congressmen tomorrow….it might be too late, but I’m going to try.
Oh…just a little fun point to what I just wrote– I once got three patents on a product that I was trying to get on the market. Now, one of the patents was shaped like Mickey Mouse. I sent it to Wal-Mart to be evaluated and they sent me a letter back and flunked it.
You know why they flunked it? They said, and I quote: “We believe that Mickey Mouse will not sell.”
Right. Coming from a company who has had Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama on its board of directors, I can honestly tell you, I was not surprised. Uh….can someone tell me how “wrong” it is for govenment wives to be on corporate boards? Nobody?
So, if you have the time today, call you Congressmen and tell them to vote “no” on H.R. 1249…remember…when big companies control all inventions, you might be someday salivating about eating just one last T-Bone steak, but the only steak you will be able to buy will be “artificial” steak, sold by General Mills. Due to the order from the EPA to save the planet from cow farts, only Senators will be allowed real meat.
And when you bite into that lovely piece of meat spam, invented by order from some CEO at the company…you can say…Nobody warned you.

Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation’s history. Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane, 27 times faster, it would be doing 1755 MPH!

The Omniscient Jim Rogers
Nobody Knows:
What did I learn today? I have to learn Chinese….or Portuguese. I’m having a hard time deciding at the moment what Rosetta Stone to buy. So says some man who actually ALMOST took representative Hot Dog Weiner off the headlines today.
And why is that? So when the Chinese take over, I will not have to be at the bottom of the sweat shop, but will get a job ORDERING the grunts around.
Seriously. As you can see from my picture, I’m not really up to it.
And why do we have to learn another language again? Because the dollar is going to collapse, and not get up.
Today, Glenn Beck bought a guest on his show, who came all the way over from his home in Singapore. (An American, who prefers China) I think it was really sweet of him to come all this way to give us his opinion…yes that the dollar will be gone soon. The United States has the biggest debt in the history of planet earth. All our money will be worthless. Get ready for the riots.
I…am ready. I have wasp spray. Maybe the can is a little big, but I’m ready.
This wisdom was coming from a man, a well respected man, who’s daughters both speak Chinese, because he basically believes that we are, as a country—through. I’m not sure what his point was: to scare us into getting ready for the invasions or just to entertain. Here was man who could care less about America. Everything to him is dollars and cents. No thoughts of liberty, freedom, and American creativity. Nope. Just those mathematical facts. A hard, cold, and calculating man. A man who never wanted children,(because they’re expensive) but once he had them he thought they were a delight.
For that, we should think he’s smart? He had to HAVE children before he found out what a joy they are?
Maybe he should try loving America, he might find also find it worth his while.
I’m sorry, people like this really get me mad. They have made lots of money, and well, the rest of the world be damned, because they have so much money they can live wherever they want. What advice did he give? Take your money out of your 401 K’s and put it all in your local bank.
Oh right, trust your bank. Yeah, I’ll do that.
His name is Jim Rogers, he’s an international investor, and Beck was not the only program he was on. He was all over the internet:
“The debt that are in this country are skyrocketing,” he said. “In the last three years the government has spent staggering amounts of money and the Federal Reserve is taking on staggering amounts of debt. He called Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a “disaster” who had “never been right about anything since he’s been in Washington. The only thing he knows is to print money.”
Well said, but, that’s where his “wisdom” ends. Bean counters tend to have a lot of trouble with the bigger picture. Did it ever occur to this guy that the spending in Washington was on purpose? NO, he thinks they mean will, they’re just stupid.
But did he stop there? No…he went on.
He talked about how someday soon there will be no more farmers to grow food and food will be hard to come by. Our food inventory is way down now. So, if our government knows this– food is already in short supply, why in the bloody hell did they purposely flood the middle of the country where the food was growing? This man had no clue. They are just stupid.
Deep thinker this guy.
Yes, Jim Rogers came in out of the blue and somehow, took over the news like a comet, and cut the Weiner in half.
Come on…somebody tell me: Why are they keeping the Weiner story alive? I had to laugh at Glenn Beck, because he was on his TV talking about how Weiner was taking our eyes off the very dangerous things happening all around us, and yet, if you turned to his website, THE BLAZE, Wiener stories were all over it.
So, I suggest looking at the big picture….we now find out Weiner is connected to the Clintons. Mmmmm: A Jewish man with a Muslim wife, who works for Hillary Clinton. Come on…what are
the odds that he would be right in the middle of a big sex scandal?
This must be the new thing…Jews marring Muslims. I can’t wait for the TV sitcom: All In the Family of Bernie Mohammed.
And all this happening at the same time that the Bilderberg masters are meeting— the news comes out that Hillary is being considered for the head of the world bank. Do we really want to have someone like Hillary, who is close friends and supported by George Soros, the man whose driving ambition is to destroy the dollar.. in control of our money?
Wait. She IS in control of our money. She will then be in control of the world’s money! That’s better than being President!
They are destroying the United States (and not doing a bad job in the Middle East) while we talk about Wieners. It’s a planned destruction, and another sex distraction to keep our minds and media occupied.. Soros has admitted to trying that very thing. And didn’t Wall Street, and Barney Frank, and Goldman Sacks all get together and decide they would grab as much money as they could before they did it?
You don’t have to speak Chinese to see that.
Believe in conspiracy theories or not, somewhere in a Swiss hotel, the richest and most powerful people in the world are striking matches to Cuban cigars and saying, “Burn baby burn.” And Jim Rogers is on his way BACK to the land he loves.
He might be a smart man, but he is no American. He is a global elite, patriotic to no land. Nobody hopes he stays there.
To Debit, or NOT to Debit? OR…
Nobody Wins
Let me confess: I LOVE my debit card. Yes, I remember the old days, back when men were men, and women washed diapers by hand…when you had to carry all that nasty cash around in your pocket. When you were at the store, you had to get out your wallet, and pull out the ten or twenty, and then you got change. SOME of us actually remember that.
Somewhere around the end of the twentieth century, even finding the correct change to give the cashier would get you at least five dirty looks from the people standing behind you. So, most people came home and threw the change in a big jar, heaven forbid they should hold up ANY line. This small change would later would put their sons through college.
Ha! Never again!
The women got the worst of it back then, because the men will only carry the bills. No man wants to be seen with a big LUMP in their pockets, (unless of course, you are a Weiner) which meant the women had to put all the coins, pennies, and quarters in her purse. It was the original “trickle down” concept to which later, Ronald Reagan based his financial budget policy on. The man spent the money, (Okay, we give them the credit for earning it…) and then the woman took all those drips of nickels and dimes that trickled down to her…and hid them from the man, Then, she would take those big jars, and use the money to buy clothes and shoes, which she also hid.
Are you kidding? Women are reincarnated squirrels. This secret hoarding went on for years. The last thing a man will do is venture into a woman’s closet, least you get caught admiring a dress.
Notice, I said…”Man”
If you didn’t have any money on you, you wrote a check. This got at least TEN people behind you wanting to shove you in a cart and roll you into the frozen food section. Remember, checks USED to be issued free to bank customers. Some banks even threw in toasters and guns for your business!
HA! Never again!
Now, you have to buy your checks, at triple-inflationary prices!
But, something HAD to be done about all this free cash floating around, sooooo, one day, someone at some bank decided, why not make a “debit” card so that the poor people wouldn’t have to stand in line anymore? They could just flick the one card through the machine, and the machine would say “ok!” and you were on your way, leaving lots of room in women’s purses for hair spray, dog treats, fashionable shoes, workout clothes, and baby wipes.
Did you ever wonder why the women now are fatter? It’s because they stopped dragging around bags full of heavy coins. “We have to give up something for progress.” said the bankers.
And the bankers were right. Now, a whole nation is hooked on debit cards. It’s easy, it’s fun, it’s so fast….and we can spend as much as we want and even more, and to make things even greater, we can go online to our bank accounts and see ALLLLLLLLLL the money we spent and how much it cost, and what we bought…and somewhere in cyberspace anyone can see just what where we bought it, and if there was sex involved.
You think the empty water bottles are a problem? It doesn’t even compare to the trail of every transaction being done every minute of the day. Yes, a huge paper trail of debit card transactions dominate the universe.
Nobody Thinks the great records of every transaction every man and women in the world have made, are hidden in Las Vegas, and under Harry Reid’s beck and call to sell this important information to the highest bidder—which is China. What? Do.you think we only sold them our garbage?
And now that they know everyone LOVES their debit card, it’s time to tax it every time you use it.
WHAT?
To make things fair, our bankers have decided that if you are a millionaire and buy a yacht for $250,000, and use your debit card…that transaction will only cost you 23 cents. (if our Congress has its way) And if you are a mere nobody, and want to buy a Slurpee at your local quickie mart for 99 cents, that transaction will cost you…23 cents.
It’s the hope and change that Obama promised!
Once again, the banks are NOT going to make much money off the millionaires, they aren’t millionaire for nothing you know, how do you think they got that way? Our “government” buttheads have to come up with some way to “tax’ the people.
The rich guys who own them, said, “You’d better figure out a way FAST, to save the banks!” Yes, the banks are in trouble—which means less money for the people who need lots of it. People are paying off their credit cards and the great profit from credit card fees is dwindling.
So, in comes the Federal Reserve: To save the merchants, it will price freeze the cost that the credit cards like Visa and MasterCard can charge them for each transaction. The banks will lose a big bulk of money, and so..they will charge you now for using a debit card. In other words, for using your own money. Pass the loss onto the customer.
No more toasters, no more crooks, no more banker’s dirty books.
Think: how many times a day do you use your debit card? On a average shopping day, I can go up to six to seven stores, that’s another $1.61 that the bank makes off me. I figure if I use my debit care just every other day, the bank will make around $300 dollars a year. Multiply that by 300 million and they make…
Now see, this is the problem. I can’t use my $1.00 calculator that I bought at the dollar store with my debit card to do this math. And that’s what they are counting on.
The little banks will be hurt by this, BECAUSE, many people will just take money out of their banks again and start paying cash. They will hide their money in grandma’s old underwear drawer. And those little banks will lose money, but the bigger banks, will have Uncle Bernanke to bail them out.
Like I said, I LOVE my debit card, but if the Feds get their way again, I’m going back to my hoarding, squirrely ways. And I know LOTS of places to hide my money.And if you come into my house looking for it, I’m saving you the trouble. My grandma is dead, and I… don’t wear underwear.
HA! Never Again!
Nobody Wants to Claim the Trademark for:DEBT CEILING
Nobody’s Opinion: The big news today was…The whole middle of the country is being drowned and destroyed by floods!!
He insinuates that patriotic Americans who oppose mass immigration are lazy and motivated by race. He says that Immigrants “have a work ethic superior to many of our own citizens who have grown dependent on welfare and unemployment benefits. It’s hard to hide the fact that resentment toward a Hispanic immigrant is more common than toward a European illegal immigrant.”
Nobody Wins when your beloved Congress passes Obamacare and then Obama gives waivers to 1,372 mostly big corporations, to opt out of it—because then you can be sure you’re not living in a Republic anymore. In other words, give money to the Democrats, keep them in power, and you do not have to pay. It’s another way to get rid of all small businesses who, of course will not be able to stay in business…which is the plan, and speaking of business…
Nobody Knows how in the world Disney got to trademark Seal Team Six? I mean, can I go and trademark the White House? Or how about the Presidency? Think of the MONEY I would make every single time the logo appeared? This is unbelievable. A company got the rights to make money off our soldiers.
Really..the only ones who should be able to trademark the Navy Seals and receive money from it are the Seals and their families…or the taxpayers who PAY for the Seals. Does DISNEY pay the Seals salary? Well, we are all fools..
Nobody Fool…Timothy Geithner is doing his usual creepy best scare tactic in the news,..because he wants the banks to have an unlimited spending credit card forever courtesy of future generations yet unborn— BECAUSE if we don’t let them up the debt ceiling (above 14 trillion) …we are all doomed to hell.
“A default on Treasury debt could lead to concerns about the solvency of the investment and financial institutions that hold Treasury securities in their portfolios, which could cause a run on money market mutual funds and the broader financial system.” Geithner said in a letter.
Nobody Wonders what has happened to FOX news? I was watching the Saturday morning financial wizards and the question of the day was: “Should we go ahead and give $3 billion dollars to the Al-Qaeda rebels in Libya?” And they all said…”Yes.” I’m expecting to turn on FOX soon and see the news that Israel should just give up the land to the Palestinians. Believe me, I will not be surprised. The only thing that would surprised me would be if Obama ran as Barry.
Nobody’s Perfect. A man named McDonald was found in his truck, along with his diary saying that he got snowed in…but decided to stay IN his truck for over 70 days, to which, he finally died. I don’t know about you…but I would have left that truck after the third day…evidently he thought nobody cared…or he was just plain stupid.
Nobody Cares that two of the most idiotic famous people on the planet will be joining voices on Al Gore’s TV sitcom”.. Keith Olbermann and Michael Moore. In it, we will be hearing such wonderful words of wisdom from Michael as this:
“It’s one thing to be happy that a criminal has been captured and dealt with. It’s another thing to throw a kegger celebrating his death at the site where the remains of his victims are still occasionally found. Is that who we are? Is that what Jesus would do? I hire only ex-Seals and ex-Special Forces guys to handle my own security.”
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.
