Hulk Hogan, John Kerry and Nicki Minag

I see they are going to ruin Hulk Hogan's career because he used the N word some time in the past. About 45 years ago (after he'd met with the enemy) John Kerry was back stabbing every VietNam soldier before Congress after a tour of 4 months and a self inflicted wound, and yet he managed a career move where he gets to back stab all of us including blacks, Asians, and Hispanics with the Iran deal. Where's the outrage from the word police? And black Nicki Minag gets rich on lyrics like "You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe" and calling women she doesn't like lab rats and bitches. And please, don't tell me that's her art.

Calls for more gun control

Within minutes the Louisiana theater tragedy had been politicized by the gun controlists. I don’t recall them saying much when an illegal alien felon shot a woman walking with her father in San Francisco.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/crime/2013/12/19/mass_shootings_in_america_northeastern_criminologists_james_alan_fox_monica.html

But it’s a myth that mass shootings are on the increase.  News 24/7 makes it seem that way.   And that’s not the only myth this research busts. Especially more laws.

And, perhaps most dispiriting, the authors argue that pretty much every policy proposal intended to reduce mass shootings has been worthless. Increased funding for and access to mental health treatment? A well-meaning idea, but likely ineffective in preventing mass murder, given that, “with their tendency to externalize blame and consider themselves as victims of mistreatment, mass murderers see the problem to reside in others, not themselves,” and thus would likely avoid all opportunities to receive psychiatric help. Would renewing the 1994 federal assault weapons ban do any good? Probably not: “a comparison of the incidence of mass shootings during the 10-year window when the assault weapon ban was in force against the time periods before implementation and after expiration shows that the legislation had virtually no effect, at least in terms of murder in an extreme form.”

I bought a copycat Feta cheese

Real Feta cheese is made with goat or sheep's milk, according to this article, but I bought a "copycat" Feta made with Buffalo milk from Bulgaria. Didn't know there were buffalo in Bulgaria, but apparently the Indian breed has spread around the world. From 1962 to 1990, Murrah buffaloes from India were imported into Bulgaria and a new population of buffalo was created by upgrading the local buffalo.  https://www.marketdistrict.com/foodie/foodie-focus/a-betta-feta

Black lives matter

Self-Compassion-Based Eating Awareness Training

That’s the title of a workshop.  Supposed to teach one to trust her taste buds and loose weight, but with “mindfulness” (aka Hindu meditation).  Ha. Self compassion for me meant slices of cheddar on crackers, and baking lots of cookies.

I trusted my taste buds and “felt my hunger” 3 years ago and put on 30 pounds, which I’ve now taken off the old fashioned way—eat less, move more.

Truth overruled by Ryan Anderson, it’s not over

Summary:  Marriage is, as the author Anderson explains,

“a human institution which predates the state. Why did it form? In order to make men and women responsible to one another, and to maximize the outcomes for both the adults and any children which result from their union. As such, "Marriage is society's least-restrictive means of ensuring the well-being of children."”

“Once you move away from the original purpose and definition of marriage, you enter a world in which the institution is infinitely plastic. Which means that if you support same-sex marriage today, you need to be comfortable with whatever marriage will be defined as tomorrow. And there will be future redefinitions.”

“With marriage now redefined, we can expect to see the marginalization of those with traditional views and the erosion of religious liberty. The law and culture will seek to eradicate such views through economic, social, and legal pressure. With marriage redefined, believing what virtually every human society once believed about marriage will increasingly be deemed a malicious prejudice to be driven to the margins of culture.”

The tactics of gay activists came out with the book’s release.  Protests without having read it, no honest discussion even though it should appeal to honest gay couples who respect their own marriage, and even that of others. In short, religious bigotry and intolerance on display for why the book was necessary.

The ongoing Planned Parenthood scandal

The unedited Planned Parenthood video will be released. They insist that “crunchy” is part of clever editing, and the doctor’s comment about a Lamborghini. They may regret being so snooty about "out of context" and "edited." May show without a doubt who they are for those who were in denial. The MSM are quick to be quiet, except to defend PP and call “donation” of “tissues” and “specimens” a generous act.  Creepy people completely without a moral center.

How much government control?

What and how much should government control? According to these circles, we currently have socialism-lite. Not quite Europe, but getting there. In my life time, the federal government has taken over education and energy, Social Security was Depression era, whereas for my grandparents it was just roads, police, military, courts. All else was handled privately or by churches and group associations (usually ethnic or religious to protect their own groups like Lutheran Swedes) with homes for elderly and orphans, or there was some at the county level of government, for instance, my grandmother received benefits for the blind from her county. The control is getting tighter, squeezing out private initiative. If you look at employed blacks, they have lowest small business, and highest government employment but still have the highest unemployment and dependency on government. This template has left out prisons, always for the state, and a huge industry.

Keep in mind, the biggest killer of citizens is not war with other countries, but death by government.

Martin O’Malley, left of Hillary, Democrat candidate for President

In 2008, construction was completed on the 757-room Baltimore Hilton, a $305 million publicly-funded hotel spearheaded by Baltimore’s mayor at the time, Martin O’Malley. The hotel, in seven years of operation, has never turned a profit. The best year of operation saw a $2.9 million loss.

http://dailycaller.com/2015/07/21/omalley-pushed-for-publicly-funded-hotel-thats-been-hemorrhaging-money/

I looked at the website: $159 starting. Wow. Sounded great, so I went to booking, and couldn't find a single room at that rate. I don't think this is a place for lower income, retirees so public funding is supposed to bring in people who can spend money. But I guess no one wants to go to Baltimore where the police can't protect them.

Only the names are different

This morning at Metro Fitness I was chatting with the man at the next machine.  He thinks the Iran deal is just fine and he plans to vote for Hillary Clinton.

From Dennis Prager's column this week:

"The American and European negotiations with Iran have so precisely mirrored 1938 that you have to wonder how anyone could not see it.

The Nazi regime’s great hatred was Jews. Iran’s great hatred is the Jewish state. The Nazis’ greatest aim was to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Iran’s greatest aim is to exterminate the Jewish state. Nazi Germany hated the West and its freedoms. The Islamic Republic of Iran hates the West and its freedom...s. Germany sought to dominate Europe. Iran seeks to dominate the Middle East and the Muslim world.

And exactly as Britain and France appeased Nazi Germany, the same two countries along with the United States have chosen to appease Iran.

Today, people mock Chamberlain. But just change the names, and you realize that we are living through a repetition of Munich. Substitute the Islamic Republic of Iran for Nazi Germany, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for Hitler, Barack Obama and John Kerry for Chamberlain, Israel for Czechoslovakia and for Europe’s Jews, and the increasingly unsafe world of 2015 for the increasingly unsafe world of 1938."

Obama visits a prison

Obama must have used a lot more drugs and committed crimes while doing so or sold them to others if he's comparing his drug use to those in prison. His current crimes against the country are probably more serious. Maybe that's what he really meant?

In the 1970s we used to visit men in the old Ohio Penitentiary in downtown Columbus --black, white, Christian, Muslim, young, old; murderers, thieves, organized crime and white collar--you name it, we met them and developed relationships. One charming young guy in for burglary and drugs had even pimped for his wife. I never met one who said he didn't do the crime, but they didn't like the time or the parole board because it was "unfair" that someone else did less, or got released early. Taking risks was an even bigger "high" than drugs. Nor were they crime free before what sent them to prison (except for "crimes of passion" which were usually one time) they were caught after many years of pulling it off.

Ohio’s governor Kasich has joined the crowd

It's not embarrassing to have sixteen candidates on the Republican bench, 14 of whom could run the country, it's richness beyond imagining. But it is embarrassing that there are so few Democrats willing to challenge Hillary. There aren't many Democrat governors (31 Republicans, 18 Democrats, and one independent) and that's usually the best preparation for the presidency. And it's not true that there are just right wingers running--it's a media scare tactic. The Democrats have moved so far left that it just appears that way. Three candidates with failed European socialist model. . . 2 of whom have had to apologize for thinking all lives matter and one of whom won’t talk to the press or anyone not selected for her audience (wouldn’t appear at Netroots where the other 2 were skewered).  But it is the party that had to take a special vote to keep the word God in the party platform, and then it barely squeaked through.

As speeches go, his was pretty dull; sounded like a Democrat from the 1980s.

Wealthy.  Lived abroad.  Private schools. Top colleges. Power.

Black lives matter, white not so much

People of European, Asian and Indian ancestry will need to leave the Democrat Party. Saying "white lives matter," or "All lives matter," is now forbidden among the black radicals who are trying to control the language (blacks are now the minority among the minority). They haven't even read the police statistics--more whites are killed by police and at a higher rate than blacks. The leading cause of death of black children under 5 is not guns or whites or police--it's the people who care for them--fathers, mothers, step-parents.  And 38% of abortions are for black babies. Obviously, someone in that "black lives matter" movement doesn't know or care that even black children in the womb and crib and Head Start have lives. Someone hasn't looked at the CDC stats on AIDS among young black men.

This morning I watched a Fox News commentator Jehmu Greene call Donald Trump a douche bag on national TV; what does she call these Black Lives matter Lovers of Ignorance? And she applauds HuffPo for refusing to recognize Trump as a candidate (she uses him to smear all Republicans). But she refuses to address these crazies who took over an entire Netroots forum. How much does she get paid for this bias on Fox? She's a Liberian-American, another product of white privilege wearing a black mask.

I’m with Fred Kaan, Dutch hymn writer

“The post-war years witnessed an explosion of hymn writing that can loosely be categorised into two groups. There were those writers who worked in a traditional style, seeking to add their 20th-century contribution to the corpus of hymns used down the years by churches of all traditions. And there were those who introduced a new style of "worship song" designed to appeal to today's congregations.

Kaan was impatient with this second group, referring somewhat disparagingly to their songs as "the nursery rhymes of the church". His place was firmly with the former group, standing alongside the likes of Fred Pratt Green, Alan Gaunt and Brian Wren. His hymns, which include both original work and translations from a variety of languages, address the modern challenges to faith, notably issues of peace and justice, and are known and used right across the spectrum of Christian churches.”

Katie Steinle, questions from Megyn Kelly for Obama

Kate’s murder has exploded into a national debate on illegal immigrants, sanctuary cities and crime,with the White House ducking the issue of its own acquiescence in these cities’ decisions to flout the federal immigration laws which were duly enacted.

When asked repeatedly this week to speak to this case, White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to weigh in other than to refer folks to the Department of Homeland Security.

A stark contrast to what we saw after Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson. A man whom we know was attacking a police officer at the time of his death. His funeral saw three Obama officials in attendance, his death drew comments from President Obama personally and his administration also sent in the DOJ and 40 FBI agents dispatched to Missouri after Michael Brown was killed.

Where is the swarm of agents in San Francisco?

Then there was Freddie Gray in Baltimore, a repeat drug offender who was killed in police custody. Here again his funeral was attended by three Obama administration officials and again the President spoke personally to Freddie Gray’s death. And again sent the DOJ in to investigate. When Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida, the president spoke to his death which was later ruled to be in self-defense.

But Katie Steinle, nothing. No comments, no swarm of FBI agents, no DOJ investigation, nothing. Why?

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/07/09/megyn_kelly_why_is_obama_ignoring_murder_of_katie_steinle.html

Obama remains silent because he cannot make Steinle’s murder about himself.

Obama remains silent because her murder illustrates the dilemma with one of his schemes profoundly to transform the United States.

Obama remains silent because her murder illustrates the dilemma so indelibly.

Obama remains silent because Sanchez represents the politically incorrect illegal alien crime wave.

Obama remains silent because he cannot plausibly turn Steinle’s death to his narrow political advantage.
