A call for prayers

You know Danielle Walker of the blog/cookbook Against All Grain [link on my blogroll] is a favorite here. Now Danielle has broken the sad news that her pregnancy of a baby girl may not survive to full term. Baby Aila is due in  September but she has a rare bone disease and will almost certainly die before or soon after her birth. The Ryan and Danielle Walker are such nice people. They were doing missionary work in Africa several years ago when Danielle became ill with Ulcerative Colitis and had to be flown back to the States to save her life. That’s when she began her Gluten Free diet, and began experimenting with the recipes that we enjoy so much today.

Our hearts and prayers are with the Walker family as they face this.

News Roundup

Obama, his Dems, the MSM, unions, the Catholic Church and Latino activists are selfishly pushing immigration reform, reform that would benefit each group. Like AGW, there’s a reason for the rush job: it’s a hustle before it’s too late. Why would it be too late? Elections here in 2014 and 2016 may mirror the anti-immigrant elections trending in other First World countries which are tired of their  cultures and budgets being corrupted, absolutely trashed by immigrants who don’t respect their host nations. The latest? http://no-pasaran.blogspot.com/2014/05/down-under-immigration-rules-have.html  Down Under, the Immigration “Rules Have Changed”; “Anyone seeking to illegally enter Australia … will never make Australia home”  

Nigel Farage of the UKIP clearly lays it out: http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/05/18/emstrongFarage-Migrants-Will-Cost-UK-its-First-World-Status/strong/em His main point: why is the United Kingdom allowing unskilled, uneducated, and broke immigrants to take over? Why not insist on skills quotas that will aid the UK, instead of everyone ending up on taxpayer-subsidized welfare? That’s one of the reasons he insists the UK needs to leave the European Union, which prohibits member nations from immigration restrictions.

Under attack, FLOTUS Michelle Obama turns into the political hack she’s always been. She’s way off track here, blaming Republicans for her failed school lunch program. The truth is the kids hate crap like brown rice cooked with seasonings, salt or butter. The truth is parents don’t want a politician’s wife to tell them what to feed their own kids. BTW, this article went to the exclusive Sidwell School her own kids attend and they eat a whole lot better than what Michelle wants our kids to eat.  Get your kids away from the tv, the cellphone, the video games and into the yards, the streets and chores. Don’t buy a bunch of junk snacks on an everyday basis, and eat family dinners. Bring back school recess without all the restrictions. Bring back phys ed classes and quit worrying so much about a bruise or injury. You’ll have fewer fat kids. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/378993/emstrongout-touch-first-lunch-lady/strong/em-julie-gunlock

More backlash on the stupid and dishonest Google worship of Rachel Carson, whose stupid and dishonest “scholarship” has been so destructive.

A Not So Happy Birthday

Ah the Grievance Industry marches on, making “white” a word of hate. More video from the 2014 White Privilege Conference -partly subsidized with taxpayer $$ – in Madison, Wisconsin brings this: http://www.progressivestoday.com/professor-george-w-bush-took-money-away-from-new-orleans-levees-because-they-protected-black-people/ Can America ever atone for her Bush Syndrome Disease, perpetrated by the MSM and Democrats to win the 2008 presidency and Congressional takeover?

Sometimes it really is better to keep quiet and make people wonder

if you’re a fool rather than speak and remove all doubt, as the saying goes. I’m a big believer in free speech and I’m glad to see people like Toure make a fool of himself, thus saving me the wasted time watching him. As for the Twitter brigade, it’s never smart to shoot off your mouth without thinking first.

This isn’t the first nasty thing MSNBC anchor Toure has said but he manages to be racist, anti-Semitic and  insulting to Memorial Day all in one fell swoop. Yeh, buddy, think  how privileged Jewish survivors of WWII concentration camps are because they’re “white.” Guess the 6 million or so who were killed by Hitler plus the Jews purged in the USSR and other parts of the world might not feel that way. As for being privileged in the US because they’re “white” Toure is too young and/or dumb to know that President Roosevelt turned away German Jews hoping to emigrate here and escape Hitler [Ship of the Damned], and faced Jim Crow-era discrimination here, even as they supported civil rights for blacks.

Touré        ✔@Toure Follow

The power of whiteness: RT @hope_and_chains: My family survived a concentration camp, came to the US w/ nothing, LEGALLY, and made it work.

So Toure gives a weak-kneed ‘apology’ but it’s too late: we know he’s an ass.

It’s About Time… MSNBC’s Touré Apologizes for Angry Anti-Semitic Tweet

Meanwhile Google can’t be bothered to observe Memorial Day on its doodle screen Monday but on Tuesday it hailed eco-hero Rachel Carson, one of the most destructive women ever born. Her pseudo-science book led to the hysterical premature banning of DDT, which led to a rampaging of malaria, especially in Africa. Too bad for African children that Big Green considers the possible – it’s actually a very weak cause and effect link – thinning of raptor bird eggs worth more than the lives of millions of poor people. http://twitchy.com/2014/05/27/are-you-kidding-me-todays-google-doodle-earns-a-hearty-screw-you-pic/

Of course, Michael Moore can barely open his mouth except to eat or talk stupid; here’s his latest. His world would be just perfect if we banned guns. Oh and Republicans left America. And we ban coal and oil. And we ban airplanes, except for private planes for liberals, of course. And turn our nation upside down for climate change. And…. oh you know, all the far-left litany. I got a feeling he’s not the happy kind, no matter what. The left has made “white” a hate word, worthy only of contempt and blame. The crazy UCSB killer stabbed 3 people, as well as using a gun. His mother is Indonesian and most definitely not white, which made him biracial, just like President Obama yet Obama is cool “black” and the killer is “white,”  like they made Zimmerman. Moore says we expanded our borders by “violence,” seemingly unaware that we bought the Alaska and Louisiana territories. All these anti-American diatribes by the left get really tiresome.

The worst thing spoken was an accident, an idiotic “outing” of a covert CIA agent, the agent in the front lines of Libya, named by President Obama’s WH media crew to the press corps and sent out to the world. This act is being compared to the Plame incident but at the time of her outing -by Colin Powell’s deputy Richard Armitage – Plame was sitting on a soft chair at a desk in Virginia, and mothering her kids. That’s not the case here, the WH has put him and his contacts in great danger, all due to incompetence. What a bunch of amateurs. Funny how the Plame incident dominated news day in and day out until Scooter Libby paid a price but I’m not seeing anything much in this true outrage. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/05/27/brit_hume_current_wh_leak_much_worse_than_valerie_plame.html

The MSM would rather speak of anything than failures of the Obama administration.

OTOH, this might be worse, here’s a sample: http://twitchy.com/2014/05/26/americas-heroes-died-for-these-vile-ingrates/

I thought Obama was going to fix everything in the hood, you know, the Messiah. /sarc. It’s obvious that these people didn’t learn grammar in school, it’s equally obvious they didn’t learn  American History or World History, and certainly didn’t learn critical thinking skills. This is the natural result of a black grievance industry, exploding in the 60’s and furthered by unions, liberals, and Obama and Holder today. What a disservice these people did to the minorities, the blacks and Native Americans, the Americans of Japanese descent who bravely fought or served during the world wars and Korea/Vietnam.

 Too bad they didn’t learn that both Hitler and Stalin hated blacks as much or more than Jews, and we tried to stay out of WWII. They might want to compare North Korea vs South Korea. South Korea owes its very being, its freedoms and financial success to the lives of American soldiers. North Korea can thank China.

And it’s a Monday, too

I grew up with this holiday as Decoration Day. Whatever you call it, remember that your enjoyment of today came at a very heavy price. So many people – many of them very young men of 18 or 19 – made so many sacrifices, including losing their young lives, to allow us to enjoy the freedoms of the best country ever. It’s okay to celebrate the exceptionalism of the United States, and it doesn’t need wimpy qualification a la Obama that well every nation thinks it is exceptional.

I plan to attend the Ironton/Lawrence County Ohio Memorial Day Parade, a small town that hosts the oldest continuous Memorial Day parade in the United States, a parade that first began in 1868 and hasn’t missed a single year. Try attending some kind of observation or watch a movie/documentary that showcases our military history.

This one Daily Insult article perfectly sums up MSM problems

So Barbara Walters, most recently of TV’s The View, retired last week. Okay she had a long reporting career, virtually all on television, and she broke some new ground for women reporters. She once had a popular segment and then specials of interviews with famous people, including biggies like Castro. Most of her interviews were with celebrities and politicians, two notorious groups of attention-seekers. I never was a big fan but I understand that she had longevity and appeal with everyday Americans. She’s always been a liberal but during the Obama years she’s been nothing but a political hack, throwing softballs at Democrats while parsing a few Republican interviews, typically grim scary ones that conveyed a warning to voters to voters.

She was also a blatant hypocrite, e.g., chastising the former intern who contends she was basically raped by JFK and carried on an affair with him under the noses of Jackie, the Secret Service and the media. Babs didn’t think the woman, who was a very credible author and speaker, should say things about an affair while JFK’s daughter and grandchildren were alive. Babs, of course, famously discussed her affair with a married senator while his family is still alive.

Babs has spent the last 6+ years fawning over Barack and Michelle but she likes Hillary, too, and brought her out to a surprised audience on her last day, all the while doting. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-balan/2014/05/16/barbara-walters-fawns-over-most-fascinating-hillary-one-last-time-vie  Oh yeah, Oprah showed up too.
In one last liberal swipe, The View brought out a slew of women in tv news from the Big 3 and all the main cable channels except ….. ta da, Fox News. Not one single woman from Fox. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/05/where-are-the-fox-gals-barbara-walters-legacy-a-gaggle-of-lib-female-reporters/

What did the Daily Insult, aka the [Ashland] Daily Independent do? The next day, this small supposedly local neutral newspaper that’s actually owned by a liberal Canadian media group which specializes in buying regional newspapers and liberalizing them, ran a full AP story – no byline – of seven [7] columns with a huge accompanying photo of the whole liberal celebrity group hug.  Walters deserved a story but nothing like this. If the paper is going to cover national news, why not give this space to the latest in the VA scandal? Or the Benghazi panel or any number of things. Heck I’d rather see this space given to the local high school speech team or whatever.

But this, this is the disturbing and deadly mixture of entertainment/celebrity with journalism that is destroying the right of American citizens to make informed decisions from the news..

Which is worse: Obama’s domestic failures or Obama’s foreign failures?

http://The world is not safer but more dangerous because of President Obama’s naivety, his bumbling, his ignorance, his dismissal of our national security, his sophomoric Beauty Queen philosophy of “Um, I want world peace” that has emboldened aggressors. He screwed up the hard-fought gains of our military to  a more democratic Iraq by getting rid of a dictator who has mass-murdered hundreds of thousands of men, women and children, and by least temporarily reducing al Qaeda there. He screwed up a difficult war in Afghanistan, he has created chaos in Libya and stupidly backed the wrong horse in Egypt, he’s antagonized Israel, shown himself a weakling to a mocking Putin, dithered and allowing Iran to obtain nuclear arms it fully intends to use as offense, pushed a disastrous policy in Syria, and greatly strengthened the military prowess of a hungry Communist China. And that’s only a partial list.

We’re weak economically and tied up our energy and manufacturing resources. He’s divisive and petty, too immature to lead anything but those who childishly adore him, leaving us a weakened America to the world.  President Obama is a disaster. If you don’t recognize that now, you will someday. Charles Krauthammer has his number. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/378422/krauthammers-take-obamas-foreign-policy-has-psychologically-demobilized-america-nro
