Issues Getting Resolved
I don’t usually post much of anything on Sundays, well, except my verses. But this morning, since I was up a bit earlier than normal, I thought I’d share what’s been happening. Besides, the Mr’s desktop was available. 
Not to fond of desktops. They feel too….well, different from laptops, and are no where near as portable, don’cha know. 
As you might know, I was having issues with my laptop and my phone, the piece of crap Android X. Well, since I had to go see Dr Dimples on Thursday, in Jackson, for another follow up, I figured I might as well try to get everything done while I was in Jackson. Since Jackson is between and hour and 15 minutes, to an hour and a half, when we go over there, it just make sense to do all ya can instead of making multiple trips. Granted, gas prices have gone down a bit, but I see them creeping back up, so why waste both time and gas doing a back and forth for up to 3 hours each time, right? Yep, made sense to me too.
So, I get to Jackson and head straight to Best Buy, which is where I was foolish enough to purchase the contraption. I stand in line, watching the clock tick. My doc’s appointment is for 2:15. I actually got there in plenty of time, sorta, to explain the problem, and drop it off. Well, the dude behind the counter, contrary to his appearance, had to be in the 90 to 95 year range. No one in their 20s could move that slow intentionally, could they? 
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

Saturday Afternoon – No Computer – Laundry Time
Apologies! Since all I have is an itty bitty phone now, and ya can’t copy and paste stuff with an itty bitty phone….or phone of any kind as far as I know….this is as far as I got this week. Things should get back to normal by the first of next week. I’ve gotten a LOT done not having a computer. I will NOT make it a habit. Heh.

Audacity of the Dope
Whitewashing History, Obama Style
The Foundry
If U.S. history is a painting on a giant canvas, President Barack Obama’s speech this week in Osawatomie, Kansas, is a thick coat of whitewash layered all over it, and the failure of the last three years lies underneath. The President’s pretense is that, no, it’s not Obamanomics that has caused persistent unemployment, stunted growth and record deficits–it’s supply side economics!
Talk about audacity.
The President’s speech was a naked portrayal of his vision of America–one where inequality runs rampant, where the American dream is nearly dead, where the rich oppress the poor, where education is undervalued. As Charles Krauthammer observes this morning in The Washington Post, “That’s the kind of damning observation the opposition brings up when you’ve been in office three years.”
Issues
Well, I did get a new phone, but my computer is still in the hospital. :-/ So, I reckon eeither I’ll have to use one of the Mr’s or do without. This tiny typing is a real pain in the hinder!
:(
Well, I’ve had this new laptop for what….3 or 4 months? A couple of months ago, the arrow keys quit working. Home, End, Up, Down, Left, Right. POOF! Since I bought it Jackson, and haven’t really been physically able to take it in, I’ve had to put up with the annoying issues. However, today, I am capable of walking at least a half mile, and I have to go to Jackson for a follow up with Dr. Dimple, why not kill 3 birds with one trip? 
The third bird? This piece of garbage Droid! Ever since they did an upgrade on it, it locks up so I have to pull out the battery, it burns battery even when it’s turned off, and has been known to turn itself back on after I’ve turned it off.
So, that being said, I might be computerless, and phoneless. Who knows. We shall see! Just a warning. If ya don’t see anything posted here for a while, you’ll know why.

Power Tripping Principal OUT!
Principal Forced to Retire After Suspending 9-Year-Old Student for Calling Teacher ‘Cute
Earlier this week, the Blaze reported on 9-year-old Emanyea Lockett’s suspension story. As you’ll recall, the child was forced to stay home from school for three days after he called his female teacher “cute.” Now, the principal who qualified these comments as “sexual harassment” has been forced to retire over the incident.
Following the suspension, school officials investigated and determined that Lockett hadn’t done anything wrong (though officials had previously said that Lockett had also been guilty of calling other students inappropriate names — something the boy has denied).
As a result, the principal of Brookside Elementary School, Jerry Bostic, was given an hour to either quit or face termination. Following his forced retirement after a long, 44-year career, the former principal is speaking out.
“I didn’t show a history of making problems like that. I’ve had the best of evaluations my entire career and because of some syndicated columnist in New York or California, I don’t have a job,” he said. ”I admit I made some errors in what I did, but to fire me or to demote me with 44 years in it, it just doesn’t make sense.”
“I made a mistake,” he continued. “I offered to apologize for my mistake, but I wasn’t given that opportunity.”
I honestly can’t feel any sorrow for this principal. What he did was pure D ignorant! Perhaps other schools will thing twice before accusing little children of sexual harassment, like when a 4 year kisses another 4 year old on the cheek, or an 8 year old holds the hand of another 8 year old. They have turned innocence into a crime, and it must be stopped! The power trip that so many in the education system needs to be cut off at the knees! They are NOT omniscient!
WE ARE AT WAR!
Pearl Harbor, WWII, and a Lesson for Today
The Foundry
On this day 70 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress and requested a declaration of war against Japan following the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor the day before. Roosevelt’s words carried forth across the nation via radio, and the consequences of the actions America would take would be felt around the world–and across history. The lessons America learned in those fateful days should be remembered even today.
Roosevelt noted that the day of Japan’s attack would be “a date which will live in infamy,” and he also pledged the following:
I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces — with the unbounding determination of our people — we will gain the inevitable triumph — so help us God.
Ann on Newt
Newt Presents a Fresh New Virtual Face
by Ann Coulter
Before you newly active Republicans commit to Newt Gingrich as your presidential nominee on the basis of the recent debates, here’s a bit of Newt history you ought to know. I promise you, it’s going to come up if he’s the candidate.
The day after the Republicans’ historic takeover of the House of Representatives in the 1994 election, Newt was off and running, giving a series of Fidel Castro-style speeches about “the Third Wave information revolution.” It had the unmistakable ring of lingo from his new-age gurus, Alvin and Heidi Toffler.
(Newt, who was married at the time, also began dating again.)
A few weeks later, when Newt was elected House speaker by the incoming Republican conference, there was a small elderly couple standing by his side as he gave a one-hour acceptance speech. It soon became clear who they were, when he issued a reading list to the Republican legislators. At the top of the list was a book by the Tofflers.
He Really DOES Believe We Are Stupid!
Obama: Limited Gov’t That Preserves Free Markets ‘Doesn’t Work. It Has Never Worked’
In a speech delivered at Osawatomie High School in Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that while a limited government that preserves free markets “speaks to our rugged individualism” as Americans, such a system “doesn’t work” and “has never worked” and that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more if they want to preserve the middle class.
“‘[T]here is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, let’s respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. ‘The market will take care of everything,’ they tell us,” said Obama. “If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes–especially for the wealthy–our economy will grow stronger.
That certain crowd would likely be the crowd that actually KNOWS something about how the economy works. Where as, YOU have never held a REAL job in your life, so are about as clueless as a four year old in an operating room cutting into a patient’s brain!
“It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression,” said Obama. “It’s not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the ‘50s and ‘60s. And it didn’t work when we tried it during the last decade. I mean, understand, it’s not as if we haven’t tried this theory.
I guess he was never a student of REAL history. Otherwise, he would have heard of the “roaring 20s”. We could have had a depression, but we didn’t. It wasn’t until the government started fiddling around that TSHTF! The 50s were a great decade. Eisenhower got out of the way. Along comes LBJ, and everything starts going downhill from there. Great Society? What a load of caca de toro! The 60s and 70s brought us union stupidity, and the price of EVERYTHING jumped dramatically. And more government intervention.
“Remember in those years, in 2001 and 2003, Congress passed two of the most expensive tax cuts for the wealthy in history,” said Obama. “And what did it get us? The slowest job growth in half a century. Massive deficits that have made it much harder to pay for the investments that built this country and provided the basic security that helped millions of Americans reach and stay in the middle class==things like education and infrastructure, science and technology, Medicare and Social Security.
If the government doesn’t stop spending money that, 1- they don’t have, and 2- isn’t theirs, then yeah… we are going to have major issues. I will repeat this again…slowly…. IT….IS…..NOT…..YOUR…..MONEY!
He should have just come out and said it, in plain English…. “I am a COMMUNIST!”
