Happy Halloween from Texas

While its 2013, let's enjoy our lives and hope that the 1st pic is not the USA in 20 years...

I have a dream...

Earlier today my older daughter Alex pointed out something that is true - when a beautiful, young, Dancing With the Stars dancer, singer and now actress (Julianne Hough) dresses up in 'black face' for Halloween, everyone cuts her all kinds of slack but when Baby Boomer aged, Southern with an accent, 'rich,' nationally known cook Paula Dean said the N word thirty years ago, she is tarred and feathered and loses almost all advertisers and sponsors... She cries for months and says she's sorry, but it's never enough for the new 'race police,' who randomly pick whom they will label 'racist' or whom is pulled off the chopping block.
Race relations are much worse in the last four years of the current president, and it seems to me that he has an agenda of payback to the current whites, who were NOT responsible or involved with the previous slavery of African-Americans. I was also reading today that in the new Obamacare, that individuals aged 76 or older will not be eligible for cancer treatment (see page 272 in the bill.)
I'm wondering if this is so the older 'racists' will all be killed off???

Sigh...

Today's tweets and comments:
-- City in Michigan First to Fully Implement Sharia Law...Wake up Americans; it's all a part of their plan. Use our stupid politically correct mannerisms to let their law creep into our society. No, we ought to say absolutely not. In this country we are free until we infringe on someone else's rights; and 'killing the infidel' infringes on our right to life. 
-- MSM Warns Obama's Secret Government on 'Face the Nation'...Again, Wake up Americans. This story is on mainstream media. It's scary and shocking and ought to have everyone talking...
-- New Docs (documents) raise questions about timing of order to suspend anti-Christian army training materials...Yes, new military material classifies the Tea Party and evangelical Christians as 'Hate groups' 
-- Beast Tech: Secret Plan to mark the world?.... The Bible says in the end times the Anti-Christ will want everyone to take a mark in order to buy and sell, which is exactly what this is. It's in Obamacare (the one they didn't read) and whoever gets the 'mark of the beast' goes to hell.
-- Benghazi attorney's: 'Reason to Believe' people who 'insisted' on military response that night were relieved of duty - Yes, there have been a lot of firing of brass lately when they disagree with Obama
-- Big Brother wants to tax your car mileage and put a black box in every car... Again, are we slaves? Do we have to be tracked?? And watched on infinite cameras?? 
-- Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' is standard Arab textbook... Yes, and they unite on hating Jews and wanting to exterminate (kill)  them
-- SEAL veteran: Military leaders being asked if they will disarm Americans - We are there. It has not been WE the People in a while - it's now them and us. 
-- NBC: All Americans will receive a microchip implant in 2017 per Obamacare.... So what happens if we don't??
-- D.C. businessman faces two years in jail for unregistered ammunition, brass casing... Disgusting
-- Fellow billionaires move to take down the Tea Party... Yep, follow the money - always follow the money

Trick or Treat

I'm all for fun costumes but Halloween has become sleazy & gross with Hollywood leading the charge. Last night DD and friends went to a big haunted house in the city & most of the people there were in costumes similar to these - all I could think was that they looked like Obama  voters...

All the news that's fit to print

Keeping Up With the Kraziness...

Well, while the USA is going to "hell in a hand basket," the idiots in this country are smoking weed and watching TMZ and all other mindless pop shows to watch (not read) the 'big' story that Baby Daddy of Kim Kardashian's new baby "North,"  Kanye West,  proposed to her. On her birthday.
Big Wow.
They already have a baby, so this is a huge 'surprise' to her or anyone else??? Was everyone waiting with baited breath to see if he would walk away or ask her to marry him??? Isn't this a no brainer?? In order to get even MORE attention, Kim and Kanye will have to plan an even bigger extravaganza than her last wedding (just a mere 2 years ago) to some basketball player that she was married to for what,  two point five seconds, and the divorce took longer than the marriage lasted. As a matter of fact, she was still married to her last husband when she got pregnant with Kanye's baby. But these days no one thinks anything of this. She's a 'reality star' and they don't play by the same rules as everyone else - she sets the rules.
Why she or the rest of her family are interesting to ANYONE baffles me. They don't DO anything. They are not talented in a sport, or dance or decorating or singing or acting or any type of work. No, they just are famous because Kim made some sex tape, and then the whole family got on board and did a reality show with her. The mother is a media 'whore' directing all of it, now getting her two younger daughters, Kendall and Kylie, with Bruce Jenner (whom she just left)  involved in the nasty world of modeling, as their agent.
And Americans just eat it up. It's like watching a train wreck - many want to slow down and rubber neck just to see the drama and the big mess they have made. Maybe it's a distraction from a mundane life. Maybe it's from boredom. Maybe since they are 'reality' stars with no real talent, it gives those types hope that it could happen to them?
I'm not kidding when I say that I have only seen about 2 minutes of any of their show. And I think it actually scarred me. I was flipping channels on a weekend a while back with the remote and landed on the show. I decided to watch a bit to see what it was like and it was nauseating. It was when the cuter sister just found out she was pregnant with her second child and the whole show was her saying that it was inconvenient and she didn't think she wanted to keep the child. Meanwhile she is married, has a son that is in all the pictures, and lots of help. She talked to each sister in the show to get their advice on whether to abort or not. It was sickening.
I changed the channel at that point, but have seen that she did have that second child, so I guess that she, too, decided it would bring her yet more attention, and decided to keep it??
Meanwhile, the USA is like the Titanic and has hit the iceberg, and is filling with water.
Fast...

Save the drama for your mama

So much girl drama today for my high schooler - in tears all day... Why are girls sooo mean these days - it's eat or be eaten. I've been saying several years, where are the girls that have your back and are true, loyal friends???

Wishful thinking I suppose...

"Tomorrow is another day..." - Scarlett O'Hara

I'm sorry for just posting my tweets & commentary this week.... Yes, I'm one of the millions of people who are extremely disappointed in how everything has been going with our government. The "Shutdown." The president trying to "inflict as much pain as possible." The terrible (not so) Civil War. I've even been arguing with my grown son this evening, as he is just as passionate a liberal as I am  conservative. He's been brain washed by the lying mainstream media, and it is completely frustrating. My income is dwindling, as I am on straight commission, and although there are still advertisers, they are all down sizing. I am truly living by faith. I am trying so hard not to worry about the future, but it's easier said than done. My ex husband has been looking hard for a job for over a year, and life just looks very grim.
Anyway.
Here are my tweets/commentary:
-- Thousands believe in religion based off the Star Wars franchise... Isn't this completely depressing? It's the SEVENTH largest religion in England...
-- Stenographers bizarre outburst during House vote stuns Congress members... This is my only good news for the day. The long-time stenographer said she felt lead by God to address the House over the error of their ways. Good for her to obey God; they certainly aren't.
-- Pentagon refuses to say if it would stop priest from giving last rites to dying serviceman... Yeah, I'll bet they refuse to say... because it won't be what we would want to hear.
--Interior Department to spend $600K to radio track bats... We are 17 trillion in debt but we are spending this amount on tracking bats??
-- Mystery: Debt went unchanged for 150 days... It's all Monopoly money, right?!?
-- Where do public school teachers send their own kids?... One guess. Oh, alright, private schools.
-- Father sent to jail and barred from seeing son for possessing a gun... This is so completely disturbing. This is the cutest father, and the cutest son, and this desperate father has been banned from seeing his young son for four years after he was found with an unloaded gun he legally owned in the back of his car among his possessions as he moved houses. He was arrested in 2009 as he was moving back from Colorado to New Jersey to be near his child after a divorce. He was later convicted of possessing a gun and sentenced to seven years' prison. 

My tweets and commentary today;
-- High School Principal cancels Pledge of Allegiance citing government shutdown... Can you EVEN imagine the stupidity here?? It makes me want to chew tin foil and scratch a blackboard!! Fire this guy immediately!!
-- Auburn University's new homecoming queen and her abortion story are gaining national attention... What a great story! Here is this exceptional young woman who would have been aborted if it weren't for an awesome mother who chose life for her daughter through adoption.
-- GOP strategist's bizarre Ted Cruz attack makes Anderson Cooper ask: 'Are you high?'.... Are they ALL high is the question!! This idiot talked about Ted Cruz and 'bunny sex' - Ugh! Fire them all but a handful!!!!
-- Trey Gowdy goes off on National Park Service Director for treating Occupy protesters better than nation's veterans... Good for Gowdy. We need men with cajones to stand up to these people!! I mean, SERIOUSLY!!
-- Sandy Hook Elementary School demolition team sworn to secrecy... Where there's smoke, there's fire...
-- Rush explodes on 'irrevelant' Republicans - Yes, agree, get rid of all of them but Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio (and even HE is questionable)
-- Chris Matthews to Stephen Colbert: When are we going to see 'Killing O'Reilly?... Just more of the 'tolerant' left doing what they do - being intolerant
-- Chase Bank limits cash withdrawals, bans international wire transfers... Wake up people. Chase Bank is in bed with this regime more than any other banking institution....

Today's tweets and comments:
-- San Francisco cops arrest man for jaywalking in retaliation for asking name and badge number....Man had been videoing cops who were frisking someone on the street, and it's NOT against the law to video...
-- Obama disrespects our vets again: Arlington graves stripped of the personal mementos honoring heroes from Iran & Afghanistan... Yeah. This regime has a disdain for the men & women who are willing to risk death to protect our country, and evidently their legacy as well...
-- School: Transgender student's right to harass girls in female toilet trumps privacy rights of female students... This disgusts me. I cannot believe this is the America I grew up in...
-- Christian ministry American Family Association classified in Obama's military as "domestic hate group" to active duty military and reserve... WTF??  This is a very honorable organization which is Christian based, is Bible believing and fights what is contrary to God's Word. No president has EVER been so opposed to Christians, and he even calls himself a Christian... 
-- Bill Press: 'Million Vet' marchers 'idiots' who should've hung Cruz in effigy... Liberals are the opposite of tolerant; they want tyranny
-- Food Stamp Glitch leaves Walmart shelves bare: 'Like a tornado had come through'...And this is what we have to look forward to in the not-so-distant future...
-- Michael Savage: Missing nukes, purging commanders and whacking people.... Well, you won't read this stuff in the mainstream media but yes, several of the top commanders in the military were 'purged,' and vets were hit at the Memorial yesterday, and the young black mother was killed after her baby was removed from her car, and nukes are missing while a high level nuke commander was terminated. Does anyone care?? Why doesn't this bother ANYONE in the mainstream media??? Are they ALL sell outs? Are they afraid of what might happen to them if they tell the truth??? Are there THAT many people who are drinking the kool-aid???

#WeWillNotForget

Here are my tweets and commentary for today:
-- WH Forces USPS to destroy entire run of stamps from Michelle Obama's "Move On" campaign since they depict kids playing without helmets, pads... Yeah, we are 17 Trillion in debt, but have to dump all these stamps since they have no safety gear...
-- Hundreds set to protest Facebook over anti-Semitic hate pages... Hmmm, seems to be a trend here of Facebook pulling Judeo-Christian pages...
-- WWII Memorial reopened after threat of federal lawsuit by American Center for Law and Justice... amazing what can happen when you threaten to sue over legalities...
-- #2104 #WeWillNotForget #SpiteHouse #MilitaryDeathBenefits #ClosingParks... finally we have a tipping point for Americans... they have crossed the apathy line with no death benefits for military who have paid the ultimate price. Too, the WWII vets not being able to go into the Memorial?? Glen Beck said it best - "Spite House" not White House...
-- Is California poorer than Mississippi... Wow, there's something a state doesn't want to be #1 in... being poor? California has been run by liberals for many years (since Reagan) and there is a mass exodus...
-- Glenn Beck warns: Move to Canada before Obama Revolutionaries start to 'Scoop People Up'... well, easy for him to do since he has millions, but I guess if I had the money, I would consider it too...
-- Twitter shuts down "Truckers for the Constitution"... Yeah, and the 'State-run media' also lied and said that their protest had been cancelled. They are all in it together...

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Here are my random thoughts while I sit here at work waiting for ad approvals. The politicians are playing "chicken" with our lives. You know, the car game played in the 50's like in the movie "Grease," where two cars charge at each other head on and unless one of them moves out of the way, then they will collide head-on. And the one that doesn't move is the "winner." Uh yeah...
This is what we call in Texas, a "Mexican stand-off." I don't even know where that saying came from, but this is the exact scenario, when both sides won't budge. I'm not saying I want the Republicans to give in, just that it's clear the Democrats won't give in either.
Then we read that the Park Service was told to make this "as miserable on us as possible." And that the Amber Alerts weren't working (until there was a public outcry.) And that the commissaries weren't open for the military (although I heard on San Antonio radio that they will open, probably due to public outcry.)  I heard that this is the first government shutdown where military vets cannot enter the memorials, and it's been clear with the wiring the gates shut, how this regime views the military. And then today saw this, "Obama closes 1,100 square miles of ocean to charter fishing." We've heard that parks that are NOT the national parks have been closed, and places like Mount Rushmore have been illegally closed. And just now read this on Drudge, "National Park Rangers ordered to keep visitors out of privately run businesses."
Regarding the government shutdown, as usual both sides are declaring they are winning in this new "Civil War" that is the United States of America.
United? Nothing could be further from the truth...

2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a Dollar...

My sixteen-year-old attended a great Catholic school from age 4 through 8th grade. Last night was their homecoming, and since the cheerleader coach is retiring this season after a long, successful run, they found past cheerleaders of this school from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and the "new Millenium" (which DD was in.) Each decade did a cheer from their era, and some of the newer ones even stunted. Lots of the "old timers" brought their old uniforms in for the current pep squad to wear, and to model while they did their performance. And I did notice that most of these women/girls have taken great care of themselves, and still look great. Many cheerleaders were the mothers and grandmothers of cheerleaders, and it was all in the family. The night made for some great photo opps, and reminded me of what I've told DD many times:

Once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader...

"We all grow up with the weight of history on us." - Shirley Abbott

My youngest child, DD, was born at the end of my 'biological' clock. (Actually I had her so late, I didn't even know it was possible.) Her two siblings are grown and gone, and her grandparents passed away when she was a toddler. My brother and sister don't live in our town, so she really has no family around, and gets sad about that often. In our small town, the settlers of this area were big on family, so there are tons of huge family reunions and they pass down their ranches, homes and businesses to the next generations.
DD was asking about her ancestors, and I was explaining the bloodline, and who was married to who. She noticed right away, that the divorces in the family really messed things up and made for weird family trees. I pointed out that bloodlines were very important to God, because He shows Jesus' bloodline, and mentions family trees all through His Word. Actually, blood is very important to God - very, very important. In the Old Testament, the Jews atoned yearly for their sins with a lamb's blood sacrifice and pushed them forward one year. Then Jesus was the ultimate blood sacrifice, as He shed His own blood for us, and pushed those sins away forever. And, if you study what Christians are told not to do, drinking blood is forbidden even today. Thus, the vampire mentality of rebellion for those that choose not to follow Jesus.
Too, bloodlines are another reason to be against same-sex marriage or any marriage that is not one man and one woman. If you look at marriage in God's eyes, it is a sexual covenant (agreement) to be faithful, and seems important to God to procreate. He designed men and women's bodies to join for sex and procreation. And, unlike what Catholics believe, I can read in Songs of Solomon in the Bible, that sex is also for enjoyment for a married couple, and not just procreation as the Catholic church teaches. (Catholics are right in so many areas, but get it wrong here.) My beliefs? If it's in the Bible, I believe it - if not, then I don't - pretty simple, but I digress. My point is that God did not design men to be with men sexually, or women with women. And marriage is important to God; He did His first miracle at a wedding. And marriage is one man and one woman.
Period.

Back in the USSR

To my fellow Americans:
Whether you are for "Obama"care or not, and whether you are political or not, THIS WILL AFFECT YOU. We the People MUST demand that Congress and the President have the same health coverage as the rest of us, otherwise we have become a monarchy with a kingdom and we are the serfs. Seriously! What's next!! They decree that they don't have to pay taxes?? This needs to stop now!! They should NOT be above the law. This is a democracy and this SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED!!!!

Freedom of speech??

As I was driving yesterday, I had the overwhelming feeling to share that it is the MEDIA that we have to go after first. Until we do, there isn't much hope at changing things much like the border talks - if we don't secure the border first, nothing else will work.
There are many bad character, self-serving politicians and they are toying with our lives, and clearly must be stopped. But if the huge media conglomerate who is acting as the mouthpiece for these evil people are allowed to continue, then the masses will continue to be fooled and nothing will change.
The Democrats have the media as THEIR mouthpiece, but the Republicans only have talk radio and some internet but Facebook and even Twitter are policing the social media and either are removing the far-right people from their media sites or restricting the "likes" or how many can follow a page. Many of the far-right pages I "like" on Facebook are complaining about how their page just disappears or the number of followers cuts in half in one day.
These are private companies, who in essence, can do whatever they choose to do. We could demand fairness but it's not like the government is going to come to our rescue. And who will?? No one stops the president when he signs Executive Order after Executive Order. Or who calls him down when he and his administration out and out lie?? No one stops him when he just appoints "Czars" (who are not elected and yet can govern our lives) and even has the balls to admit that's what he calls them, which even sound like regime titles.
The conservatives had better figure out fast that they too need a public relations firm and mouthpieces that can get the truth out there. And they had better retain some top attorneys to fight these things...
STAT.
