Nobody Remembers the Potato Famine
Nobody Remembers
Every country has it’s ‘divisions’ and one of the most famous known round the world is the division between the Irish and the British. They have hated each other for centuries.
There’s a long line of reasons for it, most of which happened long before the potato famine, which to the rest of the world made no sense. Why didn’t they just go catch some fish?
To show the hatred between the Irish and the British, I’ve included a short passage from the book “All Facts Considered.” by Kee Malesky
The Irish Famine (in Gaelic, An Gorta Mor, “The Great Hunger”) had a terrible impact on the country: a million people died of starvation or disease, and at least another million emigrated. In the Mid-1800s, Ireland was “wretched, rebellious and utterly dependent on the potato.” When blight hit the potato crop beginning in 1845, the people were devastated. Little was done by the British government to alleviate their suffering: indeed, merchants and landlords actually exported food from Ireland during the worst years of the famine. Some Protestant groups offered to feed the hungry- if they would convert from Catholicism: Those who did were called ‘soupers’, because they traded their souls for a bowl of soup. British economist and Oxford professor Nassau William Senior wrote at the time that the famine “would not kill more than one million people, and that would scarcely be enough to do any good.”
Because of that famine, America got boatloads of Irish who ended up mostly in the democratic party.
And I’m sure, my British friend amfortas would say: “Serves you right— Better you take them than us!.”
Nevertheless, I’ve never met an American Irish man I didn’t like. In fact, my best friend is Irish.
Therefore, I’m certainly not fit to meet the Queen.
(Take it away amfortas, if you’re out there.)
Nobody’s Fool: Joan Rivers
Nobody’s Fool
This week, I couldn’t WAIT to post Joan Rivers up as the “I will tell you what I think, damn you all” hero of the week.
Watch this video until the end, when she asks the girl if she has leather shoes on.
Joan Rivers is one of those true ‘feminists’…you know, the kind that real ‘feminists’ feel threatened by? They pay for their OWN birth control. They love men. They build their own companies. The ones that work from morning until night—- get up, cook breakfast for the family, go to work, come home, cook, help the kids, do the laundry, and then never complain?
They even bake cookies, god forbid.
Joan Rivers was the woman worked hard in dingy night clubs all her life…(Having done that, I know how hard it is) and she is still working. She makes fun of her plastic surgery, and fun of the really stupid things we all want to laugh about, like some of the stupid things movie stars do.
She’s a smart woman.
She is the female Don Rickles, and what is NOT funny about someone saying we have the first gay President and our first ‘Tranny”? I think that every day.
So, Congratulations Joan! You win the Nobody’s Fool Award for the week!
And if you ever need to get rid of those furs…you can send them to me.
Nobody’s Email: Beer Bottle Billie Jean
Nobody Flashes Email:
Are you still trying to sober up after last night? Well DON’T!
We all woke up this morning and realized—OBAMA IS STILL PRESIDENT!!! Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
So, grab those old beer bottles lying around the house and learn a new trick..to help you forget.
Or just watch this.
Enjoy!
(Thanks to J.R.)
Obama—Sure Knows His Crack
Nobody Reports
It’s bad enough that the Obama’s can’t control themselves when it comes to pies, notice, they have fired the top pastry chefs in the White House, because of their own lack of control, and in the usual Obama way, they BLAME the poor chefs for being such GREAT pie makers. Under the Obama administration: Excellence is punished.
AND, as if that wasn’t bad enough, Obama had to show off his fine taste in crack:
“I don’t know what he does—whether he puts crack in them.” But the president continued he had to adopt a no weekday pie rule.
Wow. Obama really knows how to respect the office he holds, doesn’t he?
Away from the teleprompter, Obama shows his true low-class self: Of course, what can you expect from a former drug dealer and drug addict? Some say he was doing crack with Reggie during the Benghazi raid, and hey–why not? He sure has crack on his mind.
Off teleprompter, Obama speaks like a low-level drug addict off the streets. What did he say to the Republicans if they don’t like what he’s doing?
“Sue me.”
The ‘hope’ for a better man in the White House, is going out with the crack pies.
Nobody Feels Like the Deer In the Headlights.
Nobody’s Opinion
If I had to pick a word for the 21st century, there is only one word that I can think of that sticks out—
Survival.
We hear it every day: Survive the next market crash: Buy Gold. Survive ‘climate change’: Get solar power for your house: Survive Obamacare: Get a colonoscopy. Survive a car crash: Buckle your seat beat. Survive your mother-in-law’s Sunday dinner: (I’ll get back to you on that one.)
My first lesson in survival was how to fend off an older brother, who loved to pin me down. He would sit on my stomach, pin my arms down with his legs, and slap my face, all the while laughing…until I learned how to wrap my legs around his neck and slam him back, and then kick hard. (I love my brother!)
Most people have the misconception— mostly from seeing movies, that people panic during a time for survival, but that’s not true: Most people…freeze. They shut down. Clueless. Even animals pretend to be dead.
Nobody Thinks that right now, a whole nation is staring at the corruption in Washington like deer with headlights in our eyes: We are just frozen. What do we do?
It’s just second nature, but that can literally get you killed.
Last year, I was about to throw away my childhood book on Robinson Crusoe, so I read it for the second time, and the lessons in it were clear: prepare. Prepare for next year…prepare for the worst.
Prepare, prepare, and then prepare some more.
Too bad they don’t teach that very valuable lesson in school. How many of us are prepared for what’s coming? I know I’m not. I just never DREAMED that the America I knew would ever end.
But back to Robinson Crusoe, who was stranded on an island, and he not only survived, he could have supported a whole town, he was such an excellent planner.
Survival is the nature of every man, woman, mammal, fish, and insect on the planet. Forget the “why are we here? Waste of time, It’s mainly to survive, until we die, isn’t it?
And SINCE man is suppose to the superior King of the apes, you would think a simple thing like making sure your nation survives, would be a piece of cake. History shows…it’s really not.
Our piece of cake is turning into soup kitchen gumbo.
We are being invaded from the South, for people who want to ‘survive” and all due to the fact that the only survival instinct going on in Washington is how to keep their own butts forever swimming in the laps of luxury.
Too bad we don’t have a man like Rick Rescorla for President.
Who is he you might ask?
Rick Rescorla, saved 2,687 employees of the Morgan Stanley, on 9/11, and I just heard about him.
Rick Rescorla was born in England, and joined the U.S. military because he wanted to fight the communists in Vietnam. He won a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and a Purple heart and was memorialized in the 1992 book, We Were Soldiers…and Young.
He was the head of security for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, whose offices were in Tower 2. He expected an attack, because in 1990 he and an old war buddy wrote a report to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (which owns the Trade Center Site) on the need for more security in the parking garage.
They were ignored. Three years later Ramzi Yousef drove a truck full of explosives, and Bill Clinton acted as if it was just a ‘prank.’ That’s when Rick knew, you did NOT trust your government.
Because Rick knew it was coming he prepared everyone. He ordered everyone NOT to listen to the Port Authority in a real emergency. If you remember, the Port Authority told everyone to STAY in their places.
REALLY bad advice.
From Time, June, 2008:
“The radicalism of Rescorla’s drills cannot be overstated. Remember, Morgan Staley is an investment bank. Millionaire, high performance bankers on the 73red floor did not appreciate the interruption. Each drill, which pulled brokers off their pens and away from their computers, cost the company money. But Rescorlas did it anyway. His military training had taught him a simple rule of human nature The best way to get the brain to perform under extreme stress is to rapidly run it though rehearsals beforehand.
He even started timing them, and improving their time.
When 9/11 came, everyone knew what to do. They were on their way down the stairs, and on the 44th floor when the second plane hit, this time striking 38 floors above them.
“Stop.” Rescorla ordered through his bullhorn. “Be still. Be calm.” And then he started singing into the bullhorn, while people stayed quiet:
“Men of Cornwall stand ye steady. It cannot be easy said ye for the battle were not ready.”
Rick got everyone out. Only 13, including Rescorla and four of his security officers were inside.
He was last seen on the 10th floor heading up. His body was never found.
So, this deer is asking—How do we survive Obama? How do we survive the upcoming invasion on our borders, which will bring a new strain of TB? Do I have to start wearing masks to Wal-Mart?
How DO we survive Obamacare, which will condemn millions to death…waiting to get into a doctor?
Rick Rescorla and Robinson Crusoe would tell us. WAKE UP.. MOVE. Prepare…..
Think of every worse case scenario and start now.
The only thing our politicians are preparing for is millions of angry citizens. They have not prepared this country for even a sun flare, let alone an invasion.
They are only preparing for themselves and their friends.
Too bad we can’t throw them all into Robinson’s Crusoe’s Island for a month.
Alert! Underwear Crisis!
Nobody Reports
Wow! Alert! When I read that 83 percent of the ‘children’ coming over the border were NOT small children, like all the pictures are showing us…but MEN, I didn’t believe it. Homeland security is requesting immediate help. 
Thanks to The Drudge Report, we have proof that the men want underwear:
The DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) requires the following items, Purchase Description Determined by Line Item, to the following:
LI 001: White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs Size: Medium Per Dozen, 600, DZ;
LI 002: White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs Size: Large Per Dozen, 600, DZ;
LI 003: White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs Size: X-Large Per Dozen, 600, DZ;
LI 004: White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs Size: 2X-Large Per Dozen, 400, DZ;
LI 005: White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs Size: 3X-Large Per Dozen, 400, DZ;
LI 006: White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs Size: 4X-Large Per Dozen, 400, DZ;
LI 007: White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs Size: 5X-Large Per Dozen, 300, DZ;
LI 008: White 100% Cotton Men’s Briefs Size: 6X-Large Per Dozen, 200, DZ;
Nobody Knows why these men need underwear if they have jeans, but I really don’t want to know why. Mamma always told you to pack an extra pair. Evidently the crisis in South America comes with mothers not teaching their children how to dress.
Glenn Beck today was BEGGING for us to send money to help those poor “children” on the border, so I plan to do my part.
I’m sending these: 
Nobody’s Fool: Dan Joseph
Nobody’s Fool
Liberals have repeated the morning democratic talking points so often, this man decided to put them all in a video.
Dan Joseph wins the Nobody’s Fool Award for the week, for putting the nonsense in humorous perspective.
Enjoy!
If Hillary is Poor, What then is Her Daughter?
Nobody Flashes
It must be nice to be born into the Clinton kingdom, because there is NOBODY else on this planet that would get a first time salary of $600,000 a year. That’s more than a President makes.
But Chelsea Clinton, is making that from MSNBC:
Clinton’s 14 past appearances identified by Business Insider included news segments where she interviewed the Geico gecko and feel-good “Making a Difference” pieces like one on foster grandparents and another on a program to provide therapy dogs to soldiers. She was also interviewed by other NBC reporters about her charity work and role in President Barack Obama’s inauguration. In total, Clinton’s segments from the past 2 years and seven months lasted just shy of 58 minutes.
This means, based on our analysis, Clinton earned $26,724 per minute she was on air. That amounts to $445 per second. In other words, it’s good to be a former (and potential future) First Kid.
This Nobody Wonders: Did MSNBC get its’ money’s worth? (Maybe Hillary should just give up and let Chelsea run.)
Dad must be SO proud. 
Nobody’s Perfect: Hillary VS Lifetime TV
Nobody’s Perfect
When I saw these two news flashes, (see video of Hillary here) the obvious connection between Hillary Clinton saying she was broke and a woman giving birth in the woods could NOT be ignored: So, see if you see the connection too:
First: Hillary’s run for the Presidency is not going to be easy. After all, the democrats have destroyed the economy, and because she was part of Obama’s administration for so long, she has to try to ‘connect’ with the people again. Since Obama ran on the “women’s inequality” last time, it’s getting old. Hillary knows the truth: women are not suffering half as much as married couples and men. Her new theme will be the old communist..(.sorry, progressive) theme of income inequality.
—And Diane Sawyer, of all people, caught her off guard:
DIANE SAWYER, ABC NEWS: It has been reported you’ve made $5 million making speeches, the president’s made more than $100 million.
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, if you — you have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea’s education, you know, it was not easy. Bill has worked really hard and it’s been amazing to me. He’s worked very hard, first of all, we had to pay off all our debts which was, you know, we had to make double the money because of obviously taxes, and pay you have at debts, and get us houses and take care of family members.
SAWYER: But do you think Americans will understand five times the median income in this country for one speech?
CLINTON: Well, let me put it this way, I thought making speeches for money was a much better thing than getting connected with any one group or company as so many people who leave public life do. struggled to get by”
Ha ha ha ha…Hillary was broke? Is that why she pulled up moving vans to the White House to steal the furniture she couldn’t afford on her own? I seem to remember the Clinton’s raised HUGE sums of money to pay their legal bills from Monica. Not to mention, Bill’s salary was…uh, a bit more than the local Post Master.
Let’s not forget that Bill and Hillary have always lived at OUR expense. Nobody and I mean NOBODY— on this vast planet has lived a richer lifestyle (put them at the TOP of the 1 percent) than Hillary and Bill Clinton.
Nobody—-. Except maybe the Queen of England, but no. Not even her.
Poor Hillary…they had to pay for million dollar mansions…all by themselves.
After leaving the White House, the Clinton’s bought two multi-million dollar mansions. They bought a $1.7 million mansion in Chappaqua, NY so Hillary could claim residence in the state ahead of her 2000 Senate campaign. And another one in D.C that cost twice that.
And then we have the cable channel, Lifetime. It seems Lifetime is going to SHOW America how wonderful it would be if you women would just have your kids in the woods.
Run to the nearest woods, and just…squat.
Lifetime’s new reality show is delivering some controversy before it’s even been born. The network announced Wednesday a new series titled Born in the Wild that chronicles pregnant women giving birth outdoors, unassisted by doctors. “What happens when the craziest experience of a woman’s life becomes truly wild, and soon-to-be parents decide to take on an unassisted birth in the outdoors?” asks the press release. “Born in the Wild will document the journeys of young, expectant parents who have chosen to give birth ‘in the wild.’”
Of course, for the program there will be a doctor present, JUST IN CASE.
How do the OBGYN’s feel about this? Do they even have a say? Won’t this be putting thousands of doctors out of business if this catches on?
So, do you see the connection yet?
To liberals, and wackos feminists like Hillary Clinton, this would be the ultimate “progressive” way to have kids:—-
Out in the woods, next the bike paths, and the community neighborhood gardens, where children out at play, can stop and witness women giving birth, naked. And they will also witness pain, and the suffering all women endure. To all feminists, this is a lesson that many of those little burgers need to learn.
The little ones (and the young teenagers) would be so grossed out at the pain of childbirth that they would learn the most important lesson of all for a feminist: Why suffer? Abort! In a nice hospital. (They will also learn it from this reality program too, and that’s the point, isn’t it?)
Think of how good it would be for the environment. The placenta could be sweep into the nearest tomato patch to fertilize the plants for a better crop. Not to mention starving bears and raccoons having gourmet meals for five or six. Placenta outtake! Wild dog packs would have something to eat besides garbage.
Nature would be so happy.
The Illegal’s could just stop coming to our hospitals. What difference does it make if they are documented?
Better not to be. Natural born citizens don’t get anything compared to the poor suffering little child from nowhere.
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award for the week?
Hilary Clinton? –whose idea of bonding with the poor is telling everyone she was once broke like them? (Unlike Obama, who wants us to think he works out like us.)
Or the Lifetime producers of Born in the Wild, who wants to gross us all out at dinnertime?
If you said Hillary Clinton, you win. You can bet that, not only will Hillary never be disclosing all her Cayman Island accounts, but she probably personally funded the “Born to be Wild” reality programs.
We’ll never know, but we can be sure, Hillary will be curled up in her massive million dollar mansion, happily watching, and counting the days till she’s back on top, back in her sweet White House poverty…again.
Inflation Just Keeps Getting Bigger!

Let’s start this fine Sunday morning with a bit of humor shall we? Mark Dice always makes me laugh.
—-Although, as we see here, there is an ignorance from the young that might make you glad you are not going to be around in 50 years. ( And if you are young…?)
Enjoy!
Obama…He wants us all to know…he’s TRYING.
Nobody Wonders
Obama was caught exercising…in his five-star Marriott Hotel in Poland. Everyone says that these pictures were unauthorized, but noticed how well placed the poster behind Obama, with the picture of the American flag and the female soldier is positioned behind him. It’s his theme for the week: Obama LOVES the soldiers.
Come on. The Secret Service searched every single inch of that room before he did this. Any hidden camera would have been stripped out. I know this, because I’ve seen them in action, they look under EVERYTHING. And notice…whose on that TV? Can you say…photo op?
Nobody also wonders, why he kept that long-sleeved outfit on. Really Mr. President? You don’t want Putin to see those gigantic biceps?
Nobody Knows the Power of Invincible Ignorance
Nobody Knows
A great part of mankind…are unavoidably given over to invincible ignorance. –John Locke
What a week it was–The latest Obama blunder is being splashed all over the world, and Nobody Knows where it’s all going to end. Nobody Knows why Susan Rice, went on all the Sunday talk shows to say that Bowe Bergdahl was captured on the field of battle, when men that were in his troop, would like to see him tried and shot for being a deserter. After all, men lost their own lives looking for him. 
Susan Rice must do a mean Happy Hour on the Good Ship Lollipop.
Nobody Knows if Bowe the dancer was actually helping the Taliban set just the right bombs to blow up American soldiers, but circumstantial evidence seems to point in that direction. And Nobody Knows if, as reported by WND, the American soldiers were ordered to shoot him on sight if they found him, and if that’s so, then Obama truly DID save his life. Not from the Taliban, but from our own soldiers. In the meantime’s, Obama stands by his decision to release the worst of the worst terrorists, out of Guantanamo, and by his own admission, they could try to kill us all again.
Thanks Mr. President.
The movie is coming soon…
Nobody Knows what the President was smoking when he made this deal, but it wasn’t grown in Colorado,
And speaking of smoking—
Nobody knows exactly WHEN marijuana is going to be legal in all of Obama’s 57 states. The radio is filled now with how overdue legalization is. The marketing potentials are endless! Marijuana could be put into everything! Food, pizza, cupcakes, morning cereal, soda,…our water…making all these Obama scandals much easier to deal with—.and one guy has an even more enticing idea;
Washington state based Mirth Provisions plans to release a cannabis-infused cold-brew coffee called “Legal,” as the new product will only be available in markets where marijuana is legal.
Creator Adam Stites told My Northwest that each bottle will contain about 20 milligrams of THC, enough to create “an alert, creative, high,” but not too much as to make it an unpleasant experience, “especially for people who are just getting into marijuana.”
I can’t wait to get my alert, creative, high, can you?
And speaking of alert creative highs..
Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin, the chemist, pharmacologist and author known for popularising the drug MDMA and creating and synthesizing hundreds of psychoactive drugs, has died aged 88.
Shulgin, dubbed the ‘Godfather of Ecstasy’, died at his home in California after being diagnosed with liver cancer.
Shulgin not only explored and created drugs for college boys to dope their favorite freshman, he published online, over 800 pages on how to make those drugs online..for free, giving a whole new meaning to ‘date rape.’
According to Psychedelic Frontier, Shulgin once estimated he had tripped on psychedelic drugs 4,000 times during his life –roughly once a week for more than 50 years.
Nobody Knows, but Nobody Wonders if Shulgin hung out with Bowe’s Dad.
And speaking of ecstasy….
Nobody Knows that now, the global elites are saying that infidelity is due to …global warming.
(Honey, it’s not MY fault, she was just so…HOT! It’s those damn carbon emissions!)
When asking people who cheated on their spouses, what was the cause, the survey SAID!
Survey respondents also reported they’re more likely to sneak a little on the side in hot weather than in cold. That makes sense — after all, which would you say is sexier, a steamy Miami day or a polar vortex?
Which means in this insane world where nobody seems to know anything, especially Obama and his whole cabinet, we can blame just about everything on global warming.
And that includes Obama’s low IQ.
And why government workers get bonus when people die.
Nobody Knows the actual power of invincible ignorance, but we are finding out, John Locke was right.
Who You Gonna Call? Edward or Barry?
Nobody Flashes
I finally got to watch the Brian Williams interview with Snowden tonight. I found him much more stable and confident than when he was running all over the world looking for a place to hide.
Still, while I’ve yet to hear any damage to any person (besides our big government officials) from any source, there are still people out there saying he is a traitor.
If you get a chance to see the whole interview, it’s worth it. To many, the proof that he is a traitor is that he ran. Anyone who has looked at the list of people who have worked for the Clinton’s who have died mysterious deaths (over 60) probably would not take chances with our government giving them a fair trial. After all, did they give the video guy a fair trial?
Like Edward said: They HAD the intelligence on 9/11 AND the Boston Bombers, and yet, they did nothing.
Obama said today, while he was giving himself another photo boost with the parents of the young soldier he ‘saved’ from Afghanistan, “America never leaves our soldiers behind.”
While you may think, like me, that is a big fat lie, it’s not. It’s true: America doesn’t leave her soldiers behind. But Obama does.
So, who you going to believe: Edward Snowden, or Barry? More importantly, who YOU gonna call when the NSA is spying on you?
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.
