Hiatus



 I will return when certain personal and professional matters have been resolved.  These matters are urgent.  Comment moderation will be enabled on an intermittent basis.

For now, you may consider this blog post an open thread; however, comments that violate the parameters for commenting at this blog will be deleted as soon as an administrator becomes aware of such comments.

Thank you for your understanding.

  1. So President Obama vowed to “destroy” Islamic State in Iraq and Syria terrorists in a prime-time address Wednesday that sought to restore eroding public confidence in his leadership and ability to safeguard national security.

    Ah yes, a liberal WAR Monger! I can remember the good old days, not so long ago when a Republican was president and your Messiah could shoot his mouth off about Iraq, and call then President Bush all those dirty, nasty names anytime he wanted?

    Yeah, those were the "good old days."

    Now, the shoe is on the other foot. NOW, a Democratic Liberal, Progressive is president and what do you know? Terrorists DON'T love us any more because a black man, who happens to be a Muslim, Kenyan, or whatever he is these days is president.

    But now, Obama finally has the problem sitting right there in HIS lap, and guess what? He don't even have a “Strategy”. But just wait a day or two, and he’ll have one. His “Czar’s” will whip one up faster than you could say Jay Z, or Beyonce

    Yes, Siree he talks tough. He draws Red Lines like he already did in Syria and then did . . . . NOTHING.
    So, now he's talking tough again.
    Wait and see.

    Just count on those brainwashed, HYPOCRITE LIBERALS Not to call Obama a war criminal, and claim he's violating the Geneva Convention (that was always a funny one) or he violating the Constitution (and when has Obama cared about the Constitution?)

    But cheer up libs. You can always keep on blaming Bush! As always!

    Oh wait, did I mention that “HIS” military killed Osama bin Laden, and then he told us that al Qaeda was “on the run” and with it the ideology of radical Islam."

    Except it wasn't HIS military. It was GW's. He even had a hard time pulling the trigger. And did I mention that just a few months later, 15-20 of those same guys, riding together on a helicopter were coincidentally shot down.

  3. I'm with JonBerg; here's hoping ...

    ALSO, please read my piece on Brendan Tevlin; Am in no way saying one lousy American muslim's killing of an American boy because of the "killings America is doing overseas" is widespread! But I am commenting on this because the media did VERY little in following this up; it even complied with the police BS about it being a "target killing," which we find now (it happened in June) is the farthest thing from the truth. We need a media that's honest again; America won't be the same without that.

    1. Here's a perspective on the article that has you in hysterics, z.

      1. You are concerned that this killing isn't reported (it was, by the way) but the first three victims, Leroy Henderson,Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson receive scant attention. There is a subtle clue why in the names.

      2. He is a convert and it is not even established that he is a practicing Muslim.

      3. Is the alienation that may well have motivated him more important and will there ever be an evaluation of this man.

      4. A disturbed individual goes on a killing spree and because he claims to be Muslim the jihad is upon us (and you seem to desire it in a perverse way) but when someone shoots up a school it doesn't mean the curse of the gun loon culture is upon us. Seems arbitrary.


      But since you know "the truth" about this case why not go into more detail and explain why the media should conform to your neurosis.

    3. Ducky, I'm getting a little tired of this nasty exchange thing.....I'll never stop thinking you're kind of the Ward Churchill of our corner of the blogosphere, so I don't respect you on that at all, but it's not my nature to be SO acerbic and constantly up at arms with you.
      It's clearly not all me :-) I can't even compliment your excellent black/white photos and get a 'thank you'. You have never ever acknowledged the slightest nicety, so that hasn't helped either; but it says more about you, sadly, than me.
      I do wish you the best...I wish you a peace you don't seem to have. And, though I once said that and you said "No you don't"....I do.

  4. by the way, as you might know, I LOVE Autumnal scenes like that...particularly because I'm in Los Angeles and we have very little of that (tho we have more red leaves lately over the years, believe it or not!)...
    I'm whining because we're going to be in the NINETIES STILL for the next few weeks (September is sometimes very hot but usually after a coolish summer..not THIS YEAR!), even here near the beach in Santa MOnica!>..which is RARE because it's also HUMID the last 3 months! and we are TIRED OF IT, so seeing that lovely cool, autumn-colored picture might be nice but makes me angry at our weather!

    1. Z,
      I got the image from The Merry Widow's Facebook page.

      We don't yet have fall foliage here, but it won't be too long.

      Then comes the annual odious task: raking leaves.

      Delete
    2. Wish I had leaves to rake - they are the BEST thing for your compost pile. I am limited to my neighbor's ivy growing on my wall which, unlike typical ivy, turns red and falls off in winter. LOVE the picture.

    3. Baysider,
      You can come here any fall season and start raking. **wink**

      I don't have a compost pile, but I do have some very rich soil in my leaf-dumping location in my wooded lot. Most of the leaves are not dumped there, however. The county comes along with the leaf vacuums; but first I have to get those leaves to the curb area (no real curb here on this street). The problem with getting the raked leaves to that area: the fence! Sometimes, we don't rake thoroughly and "mulch" the leaves with the mower, instead.

      There are a lot of oak trees in this neighborhood, so we have mounds of leaves.

      Delete
    4. I know all that sounds like mounds of work - and it would to me with a bad cold. I wish I could take your leaves off your hands. :)

      Get well. And a congrats to your student.

  6. Two of the many reasons I'm on hiatus:

    1. I have the cold from hell and need to slow down so as to get over this misery. I don't need another round like last spring's bronchitis. When I'm this sick, I don't feel like interacting on the blogs as much as usual.

    2. One of my students has just received a very prestigious honor. However, there is something that I as the teacher must do so that she can move to the next step in the process. Another steep learning curve for me because I've never before had to be a part of this process!

    There is more to the story of my hiatus, but so far there is no cause for alarm.

    Look up what ISIL means snd you'll see why!!

    1. I don't think you know what it means. ISIL is the designation used by US intelligence agencies. Our media has chosen, by and large, to use ISIS...again without ever trying to explain either designation, because their goal appears to be keeping Americans fat and stupid. If you think ISIL is some sort of conspiracy, you'd better start a letter writing campaign to all of the GOP politicians who use the term.

  14. SEPTEMBER 11TH commemorates the greatest act of mass murder in the country at the hands of THE MUSLIMS.
    That is, unless you are the leader of the Free World.

    And Mr. Obama, as Commander-in-Chief, your actions — or lack thereof cost lives. As you bumble about in your golf cart, slapping on a happy face and fist-pounding your buddies, your cowardly lack of leadership has left a gaping hole — not only in America’s security — but the security of the entire globe. Your message has come across loud and clear, sir: You are not up to this job. You know it. We know it. The world knows it.
    America has always been exceptional. And she will be again. You, Mr. President, are a bump in our road.”
    So please, do us all a big favor and vacate the people’s house and allow a REAL man or woman of courage and substance to seize the reigns of this out-of-control thug-fest and regain the balance we, America, have provided throughout our great history.
    “Fool me once…..Fool me twice!!”
    For all those that put Obambi in the White House, and you “Progressives” know exactly who the hell you are, thanks for nothing..
    Apparently according to the Thug in Chief, September 11th is not a day of mourning or remembrance, it’s day to be out on the Golf Corse, and Ignore the fact that thousands of illegal’s including Muslims have been pouring into this Nation illegally post 9-11.
    Whether we know their intentions or not, as if that is irrelevant………
    And on another thought, while I have center stage,
    WTF is wrong with black people? Looting local businesses & destroying property? REALLY?
    BLACKS kill other black’s, white’s, Hispanic’s, Asian’s, Cops, EVERYDAY in this country. Babies, grandmothers, parents, teens…. all in random acts of violence EVERY DAMN DAY.. Where is the damn outrage over that?
    When BLACKS kill, NO, there’s never an outrage over that, no looting of local businesses over that. No policing your own over that. But one white gets trigger happy (supposedly) and the whole damn neighborhood gets torched. Hell, the shooter doesn’t even have to actually be white as long as he LOOKS white.

    You want the Cops to ease up on your communities? Start acting like you care, and stop acting like Animals and Savage’s…
    And Obama is complaining about the way the police are treating these Blacks? Give me a friggen break!
    The full speech.
    “I um I uh am, uh sorry to umm uh hear about this uh tragedy. Moochelle and I were uh umm flying to uh, um, the Vineyard, to shoots me a round of Golf when we uh, um heard about this. I have err, um instructed uh my um errr Attorney General to conduct a um full investigation. In the meantime, feel free to take as many flat screens and hair extensions that you can carry. I um, uh thank you… And uhh, remember, No justice, No peace!

  15. I just saw this at Farmers Letters. What an excellent reminder of better times and the significance of cherished memories! We all need respite, don't we?

    I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
    And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
    Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
    And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

    And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping
    slow,
    Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket
    sings;
    There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
    And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

    I will arise and go now, for always night and day
    I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
    While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
    I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

    But we're all allowing such awful politics and the international situations to get to us; we're human, we're informed, we are rightly concerned.
    This kind of poetry helps...puts us elsewhere, which is good! It's why I wrote my faith blog today with that kind of getting away from reality. Life is hard...do something nice for someone. Maybe it includes leading them to a lake and listening to the lapping sounds... :-)

  19. My Dear Friends:
    I’m here today to announce today that I’m Outta here, and gone Fishing Indefinitely
    After 4 years of posts, and over all those comments written on your blogs by Yours truly, dealing with these deranged Idiotic liberal and deaf, dumb and blind as well as kool-aide afflicted sufferers ObaMoron's, and Moochie trailer trash while simultaneously fighting with these Progressive ghetto trash over my Anti Obama cements and content without a break is coming to an end for this man I regret to inform my friends out there, not to mention my enemies....
    This president does not represent my serving my Country in the US Army for 4 years that I have never regretted.
    This is not the country that I can remember in my childhood, not the Country that I dreamed of seeing my Grandson grow up in.
    Perhaps I shall return someday in the near future, perhaps not. After all, as they say, nothing is CERTAIN in this world except death, taxes and for those liberals out there AIDS and STD's. One gets sick and tired of fighting with people who are deaf, dumb and blind, and can’t see what is going on in our Country since this NINCOMPOOP was elected .
    Since that awful September the 11th morning that changed many of our lives forever, and those of us who choose to 'move on' but never forgive and never forget will spend the day reflecting and honoring their involuntary sacrifices that God awful day.
    And these lefties just can’t see it the same way that we Republican/Conservatives do.
    We on the “RIGHT just can’t forget and forgive those Muslim hijackers who used our own airliners as missiles against our own people on our own freaking real estate and government icons. Just as we can’t forget these BE-HEADING that are going on today. Or the lack of reprisal that Mr. Obama seems to poses.
    I don't know about any of you, but for me personally, I have had my fill of these freaking people AKA progressives. I've had my fill with Obama and these leftists, I’ve had my fill with Obama's Lies, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, hypocrisy, cover-ups by his administration INCLUDING, and ESPECIALLY HILLARY CLINTON.
    No I just can’t deal with seeing MY country turning in to a Third World Nation led by a Liar, a Socialist, and a Moron.
    I just can not deal with them any longer. In any event, those who supported my along the way thanks a million, I won't be disappearing completely and we'll be seeing you all I'm sure through your blogs and other internet activities.
    With particular THANKS to AOW for her continued fight no matter what, no matter who she had to deal with.
    Again thanks for all your friendship over the years, and hopefully along the line we changes some hearts and minds. I remain “The CRABBY OLD MAN”

  21. Benghazi Bombshell: Clinton
    State Department Official Reveals
    Details of Alleged Document Review

    Daily Signal, by Sharyl Attkisson
    As the House Select Committee on Benghazi prepares for its first hearing this week, a former State Department diplomat is coming forward with a startling allegation: Hillary Clinton confidants were part of an operation to “separate” damaging documents before they were turned over to the Accountability Review Board investigating security lapses surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

    None of this surprises me! NONE!
    The entire administration of obama are traitors and CROOKS!. Every single one of them should be arrested for treason!
    The Clinton AND the Obama administrations are champions at hiding and lyin. Makes me sick!!! If Hillary wins in 16, it will be more of the same..And another thing, how can the name 'Honorable' ever be allowed to appear in front of the name Hillary R. Clinton? Have we forgotten already the paper shredding that took place while she was in the White House?

  22. The arrogant Hillary Clinton who NEVER had any respect for the American voter. Their low opinion of the intellect and judgment of the American electorate has been vindicated two or three times at the national level. The Clintons believe that they can lie with impunity because a core support group with similar political goals and agendas will support them regardless of shameless lies and demonstrated criminal acts. Why else would the National Organization of Women revere a serial molester, who lied (and ultimately lost his law license -- but little else) in a grand jury about his sexual abuse? To the, disgusting, obnoxious, lying, arrogant, revolting, shameless, PROGRESSIVE PIGS, who feel that the justifies any means. To the low info voter it doesńt matter at all because she/he has better things to do than worry about the demise of our Republic. All I want to say now is God Bless Monica Lewinsky! Lets hope that this is the END of the Clinton dynasty who have NEVER had any respect for the American voter. There is nothing honorable about this lying, manipulative, repulsive Bitch!

  23. Mooshell's Healthy Food Diet Found to Be Elitist, Sexist and Shames Working Mothers!
    Michelle Obama has made healthy eating and exercise her signature issue. But, a recent study published by the Sage Journal found that her “elitist” advice actually “shames poor and middle class mothers.”
    Who elected this PHONEY to be Queen Mother to public office in the first place?

    She has actually admitted not knowing how to feed her own children, and was told by their pediatrician that they were both overweight. She had a professional chef feeding her family even in their Chicago days. Why in THE hell is she in any way qualified to impose a nutritional regimen upon millions of schoolchildren?

    Why don't you get your nose out of my kitchen. It is none of your business what I cook and serve my family. Leave us alone. and mind your own friggen business!

  25. Benghazi documents scrubbed to protect Hillary Klintoon! It's Sickening!!

    1. "WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton’s minions launched a weekend operation in the basement of the State Department to scrub damning documents related to the Benghazi attacks that killed a US Ambassador,....

    2. Then-Deputy Assistant Secretary Raymond Maxwell said he walked in uninvited to the Sunday afternoon scene a month after the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist strike to find several boxes of papers — and immediately asked an office director what was happening.

    3. ...Responding to Maxwell:] ...completely without merit, completely ill-informed,” said state department spokeswoman Marie Harf, noting the review board could collect documents directly from anyone in the department.

    4. “The office director] told me, ‘Ray, we are to go through these stacks and pull out anything that might put anybody in the [Near Eastern Affairs] front office or the seventh floor in a bad light,’”....

    5. The seventh floor is where Clinton — then Secretary of State — and her top advisers had offices.

    6. ‘But isn’t that unethical?’ She responded, ‘Ray, those are our orders.’ ”... alleges two of Clinton’s closest confidants were on hand to check on the operation...

    7. Maxwell, 58, was one of four officials forced out of the State Department immediately after the damning Accountability Review Board report revealed security lapses in the attacks that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and fellow Americans Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

    8. Maxwell was later reinstated and accused Clinton’s team of scapegoating him. He has since retired....at least one congressman is vouching for his credibility.

    9. On Wednesday, the newly formed House Select Committee on Benghazi will hold its first public hearing. A committee spokeswoman says the panel intends to look into Maxwell’s claims.

    10. Clinton’s spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

    AND THIS IS WHAT YOU PROGRESSIVES" WANT AS YOUR PRESIDENT! YES IT'S SICKENING!

  26. Barack Obama taunted Al Q when he danced on Bin Laden's grave in 2012 before 9/11. He baited them and they responded with the hit on Benghazi. The video blamed was an obscure nothing no one saw. Everyone saw the President declare he killed Bin Laden and Al Q was on the run. O put Americans abroad at risk on 9/11 with no security in Benghazi.
    The outrage he showed personally to the Cambridge police officer who asked a professor to step outside on the porch who had broken into his own home with two friends set off a firestorm. Obama said the police were racists and that the officer had acted out of line. Actually the officer followed procedure in case a perp with a gun was behind the home owner who cussed like a sailor at the request. He was turned over to campus police as a neighbor had reported a break-in. The entire dept. came to the defense of the officer who was beloved by the multiracial force. One black officer announced she'd not vote for Obama again. The incident that sparked a leap to judge showed how reckless can Obama be but also that he is capable of showing indignation against what he thinks is an injustice quickly. Compare that Cambridge police incident to a year's worth of IS details of mass murders and torture he dismissed. Where is the urgency or indignation after a year? AWOL
    The media seem to have blind eyes when it comes to the POTUS’s lies. They are not explored or held up to public scrutiny the way the media kept the “Bush Lied” crapola that the progressives invented. And they kept alive, and still do the buzz that Bush lied about Iraq. Bush had many co sponsors, one House D leader Gephardt who proclaimed his intel on Iraq was independent of Bush and came from the Clintons and John Edwards, Dick Gephardt, John Kerry, Harry Reid and Nancy Poleosee. . Yet we have a bold liar occupying the White House at this very time.
    Do not be deceived by Clinton’s peak with forked tongue.

  28. The lame-stream media and the leftist’s on the “House Select Committee” will be covering up for Hillary just like they did for Obama.

Wright and with Bill Ayes should have told anyone with a half a brain what we were in for. But these lame-brains didn’t care, as long as they defeated George Bush. After all, “Bush Lied and People Died” Well look at what and who we have as our “leader” now
