It's Not What You Eat or Drink That Kills Ya

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans..

5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride

ObamaCare: Intentionally Designed to Fail? Of Course

Most people believe that Bill Clinton made a huge gaffe when he said Obamacare is an amazingly bad thing. But it was no gaffe - we now know the White House scripted Clinton's speech for him. And while it appears to be a dumb move, it is actually diabolical.

Six years ago I wrote that Obamacare was INTENTIONALLY designed to fail; that Obama and his minions actually wanted socialized medicine (single payer), but they knew the public would never go for it. So, they came up with a system that would destroy the current insurance plans (burn the bridges so we could not go back) and would ultimately fail, so "we the people" would clamor for it to be fixed. And lo and behold, the progressives would trot someone out with a fix - single payer!

Obama and Hillary fear that Obamacare would become an albatross hung around their necks at election time, so Obama scripted Bill Clinton's speech that trashed Obamacare. He also has scripted Hillary - she will come out and say that, yes, Obamacare is a debacle, but SHE can FIX it.

And if elected, make no mistake: she will aggressively push a single payer system - the same system (HillaryCare) she tried to push when Bill was president.

Diabolical. Well planned. But that is how progressives do things - in progressive steps.

Here's hoping that "we, the people" are too smart to fall for it. But I have my doubts. After all, 45% of the voters seem to be OK with all of Hillary's lies, all of her 30 years of scandals, and the corruption that oozes throughout government.

Perhaps that is because 47% of the people pay no taxes and she represents all the "free stuff" they will get under her administration. "Freebies" are a powerful incentive to vote for someone.

'Nuff said.

Johnson Amendment A Violation Of Law

In 1954, Congress passed the Johnson Amendment, making it a violation for any non-profit to endorse any political candidate. This effectively muzzles the clergy, which is a violation of their Constitutional Right to both freedom of religion and freedom of speech. And here is a prime example why:

Let's say you decide to declare yourself a non-profit - John Doe Inc. - and get your non-profit status from the IRS because you plan to be a philanthropist and give away most of your income each year. Under the Johnson Amendment, you would no longer have the right to endorse any candidate. You forfeited your Constitutional Rights which, by law cannot happen.

Hillary Clinton stands up for the Johnson Amendment, and does not think it goes far enough. She has stated, on video, that "die-hard Christians will have to give up some of their beliefs" in favor of things like abortion. No candidate has ever been more anti-religious liberty.

In contrast, Donald Trump wants to do what should have been done 60 years ago - abolish the Johnson Amendment, and restore Constitutional rights to all.

The short take - if you believe the right to free speech and freedom of religion should be restricted to suit whatever political agenda a party - any party - might have, then Clinton is your best choice. But if you believe no person should have to forfeit their rights to suit a political agenda, then maybe Trump's your boy.

The choice is ours, as a nation, to make. I think Trump is a bit erratic and eccentric, but I also believe he will make better choices for us, particularly in his appointees to the Supreme Court. SCOTUS will rule our land for generations, not just 4 years. And that is the real issue in 2016. Save the Supreme Court from liberalism today, replace Trump in 2020.

With all the lies Hillary has been caught telling, it would be most unwise to believe anything she promises in order to pander for votes.

The Truth About the "Party of Hate"

Democrat politicians and the brain-dead zombies who follow them like lemmings just love to tell everyone that Republicans are "the party of hate and intolerance". So let's take a little look, shall we?

When was the last time you saw a Republican burn the American flag?
When was the last time you saw a conservative throw stuff at a liberal speaker on campus?
When was the last time a conservative shouted down a liberal speaker on campus?
When was the last time you saw a liberal speaker banned from a campus?
Which party refers to Christians as "Bible thumpers"?
When was the last time you heard a Republican say he/she hated America?
Which party demonizes law abiding gun owners and the NRA?
Which party demonizes the businesses that provide jobs and pay salaries?
Which party calls the other "homophobes" for their religious beliefs?
What party calls the other "bigots" because they point out that the majority of felons are black because they commit the most crimes?
Which party supports the hateful, often violent Black Lives Matter, but scorns police officers trying to protect us?
Which party propagated the "Hands up, don't shoot" lie that was disproved by the DOJ, but is still used to commit acts of violence?
Which party actively disemboweled one of their own (Bernie) and insulted his supporters?
When was the last time you heard someone had destroyed a Hillary billboard or signage?
When was the last time that someone was denied service for being a Hillary supporter?
When was the last time a liberal was punished for saying "Black Lives Matter"?
Which party gets demonized and hated for saying "ALL Lives Matter"?
When did a Republican ever try to remove Christmas from the public square?
When did a Republican ever say "What difference does it make" when four Americans are murdered?
When did a Republican congressman ever try to ban Hillary from a country?
Which party thinks it is sexist for a man to try to get a date with a woman?
Which party thinks it's OK to waive the Constitutional Right to due process when it suits them?
Which party used the I.R.S. to prevent conservatives from forming non-profits?

I could go on for days, but it's 3:00 AM, I think the point has been made, and I'm going to bed. And I will pray for those hateful, intolerant liberals because, while I may disagree with them, I am a conservative Republican and the only people I despise are child molesters (I guess that makes me a bigot), woman beaters and rapists (I must be sexist) and murderers (I must be intolerant). And the only thing I have against LGBT folks is that they insist I accept their beliefs but they refuse to allow me my own (so I guess I'm still intolerant).

True Colors - Growing Segment of Democrat party is Anti-American

While Hillary Clinton professes to have the backs of law enforcement and tells us she wants a strong military, those platitudes are political theatre that do nothing to cover up the growing anti-Americanism within the Democratic party, much of which Mrs Clinton has been an avid supporter.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama snd most other Democrat politicians are on record as being supporters of Occupy Wall Street, the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter, all of which are anti-police. And they have supported President Obama's castration of our military, firing generals, pulling troops away from the fight before it's won, and cutting the military to pre-WWII levels.

And the Democratic National Convention offered proof that what Democrats SAY and what they DO are two entirely different things. On the first day of the convention the American flag was conspicuously absent. And they needed to put the Pledge of Allegiance on the teleprompter. So they set out to fake their support of America by adding flags, patriotic balloons and having police and generals as speakers. But when a speaker - a police chief - requested a moment of silence for our fallen heroes she was instead shouted down with anti-police chants. And when a general and a Medal of Honor recipient spoke, they, too, were shouted down, disrespected and shamed by the Democrat audience. And even Leon Panetta was heckled and shouted down when he tried to stand up for America. So much for all the pretty balloons!

The Democrats tried to prove their "patriotism" with red, white and blue balloons. I'm sorry, but political theater is not patriotism. Wearing a flag does not a patriot make. A patriot is someone who FIGHTS for and SUPPORTS the flag and our military instead of just giving it lip service.

And let's not forget that most of the Bernie supporters are anti-police and anti-American, fighting for anarchy and socialism, and Mrs Clinton and the Democrat party are trying to cozy up to them for political purposes. Maybe they should be spending at least as much effort into trying to win the votes af middle America - those "rubes" in the fly-over country that actually love America, respect law and order and support our military.

Famed U.S. Physicist: Global Warming A Scam

In all likelihood, you never saw this in the mainstream media, as it opposes their agenda. But before he passed away, noted U.S. physicist Hal Lewis, upon resigning his post with American Physical Society, and like Christopher Columbus repudiating the accepted "science" of the day that the world was flat, submitted the following letter of resignation:

"For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.

"It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it [ED: worldwide, over a period of years], that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.

"So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it….

"This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue.  I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club.

"I think it behooves us to be careful about how we state the science. I know of nobody who denies that the Earth has been warming for thousands of years without our help (and specifically since the Little Ice Age a few hundred years ago), and is most likely to continue to do so in its own sweet time. The important question is how much warming does the future hold, is it good or bad, and if bad is it too much for normal adaptation to handle. The real answer to the first is that no one knows, the real answer to the second is more likely good than bad (people and plants die from cold, not warmth), and the answer to the third is almost certainly not. And nobody doubts that CO2 in the atmosphere has been increasing for the better part of a century, but the disobedient temperature seems not to care very much. And nobody denies that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, along with other gases like water vapor, but despite the claims of those who are profiting by this craze, no one knows whether the temperature affects the CO2 or vice versa. The weight of the evidence is the former.

"So the tragedy is that the serious questions are quantitative, and it’s easy to fool people with slogans. If you say that the Earth is warming you are telling the truth, but not the whole truth, and if you say it is due to the burning of fossil fuels you are on thin ice. If you say that the Earth is warming and therefore catastrophe lies ahead, you are pulling an ordinary bait and switch scam. If you are a demagogue, of course, these distinctions don’t bother you — you have little interest in that quaint concept called truth.

"So it isn’t simple, and the catastrophe mongers are playing a very lucrative game."

Is the Cop Racist - or Something else?

In MN a police officer shoots and kills a black man whose only "crime" appears to have been a defective taillight. At leasty, that is what his girlfriend, the MN governor, Jesse Jackson and thousands of protesters would have us believe. And so they automatically play the race card, claiming the cop must have been racist.

But a thinking person without any bias would see another possibility.

First, it must be considered that with all the cops being murdered these days, every police officer has that in the back of their mind - that, without warning, they could be shot for no reason.

Second, in most police departments, officers are trained to handle certain situations in certain ways. For example, if someone tells you they are armed, the officer would, as a matter of standard operating procedure, advise the person to keep their hands where the officer can see them until such time as the officer can safely secure the weapon. Since the "livestream" of the girlfriend does not show what transpired prior to the actual shooting, we should assume that is what the officer attempted, since he wants to go home at night.

So, let us assume the officer followed SOP, and told the individual to keep his hands in view. Instead, the driver, innocently enough, reaches for his wallet to show his license. To the officer, the driver could have been reaching for his gun. He has no way of knowing.

At this point, most people would act defensively. The cop draws his weapon and fires. And at that point the girlfriend begins livestreaming, and making claims that would make it appear that her botfriend was shot without cause.

I contend the officer was doing what all officers are trained to do when they encounter an armed person. And the armed person, without thinking, acted in a way that gave the officer cause for fear for his life.

They both made huge mistakes. And it cost one man his life.

The driver may have been acting innocently enough, but the officer would not know what is in his mind, as the armed person reaches for his pocket.

Unfortunate. But not racist.

If YOU were the cop, and you were faced with an armed person who reaches for his pocket instead of keeping his hands in view, and having it in the back of your mind that the murder of police officers is up 40% this year. Would YOU gamble your life?

Not me.

As to the MN governor, Jesse Jackson and all the other race-baiters out there who want to use this to further a false narrative, I say they are the true racists.

And as I type this, eleven more police officers have just been shot, 3 dead in Dallas, TX.

Can't blame cops for erring on the side of caution.
