As the long Independence Day weekend continues, I encourage you all to take a break from the daily nonsense we are bombarded with every other day.
The Obamanistas greet the little people yesterday, gathered to adore them
Just because Juan Boo-Rock cynically used a 4th of July ceremony for the naturalization of LEGAL immigrants to make a pitch for ILLEGAL immigration and take another swipe at his political enemies is no excuse for you to wallow in it on this lovely summer weekend.
So, grab yourselves a dog – or two -
No, I mean a wiener – or two -
and enjoy the weather. You can wait till Monday to sue him.
Good coffee, Juan; butt don’t you have something a little stronger?
ICE the coffee, and enjoy some of our other fine products from across the former southern border.
Well, I know someone who’s not invited to this year’s White House 4th of July BBQ:
Consider this my contribution to your Independence Day celebration; somebody else can bring the baked beans this year. It’s obvious that Joanie is suicidal, most likely due to one too many face lifts. Butt as long as I’m covering things that are not true, I would like to point out that the rumor circulating about Big Guy visiting a Mosque on the 4th are likewise not true. As they say, good satire contains an element of truth, and great satire is totally believable.
Now, back to your holiday preparations. Let’s get those beans in the oven and that potato salad made before heading out for the pancake breakfast, the 4th of July parade, the picnic at the lake and this evening’s fireworks display. Just remember the holiday marks the day our Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress in 1776.
At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Franklin was queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention, a lady asked Dr. Franklin “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.” Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”
So fly your stars and stripes with pride today; despite our current state of disrepair, despite polls to the contrary, America is still the greatest experiment in human history. And it is up to us, the true patriots, to reclaim it and nurse it back to health. Next opportunity: November 4, 2014.
The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name -- liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names --liberty and tyranny. – Abraham Lincoln
A new Gallup poll shows that the percentage of Americans who are satisfied with their freedom to choose what they do with their lives has dropped from 91 percent in 2006 to 79 percent in 2013.
Even Uzbekistan beat us by 12%!
Gallup suggests that the decline in perceived freedom may be due to the continued sluggish rebound of the U.S. economy (!?). Alternatively, they speculate that it might be due to an increasing belief that there is widespread corruption throughout the government. Do you think?
GSA:secret bonuses of $44 million, prizes for employee rap videos celebrating big spending, and $30K for drumsticks so the agency can learn how to “teambuild.”
Greetings from Vegas, baby!
ATF: the Director’s Orwellian “No whistle-blowing allowed here!” directive, following the whistle blowing revelation of the long dead Gun Walking phony scandal.
From up here, where the air is rarified, I choose to plead the Fifth, butt I did nothing wrong by my own standards.
there’s lots more!
It would seem that all these polls as of late are simply bogus. There’s simply no evidence to support the claim that Americans feel their freedom is slipping away.
I know - it seems like it’s been going on forever! And still two weeks to go. It’s not the World Cup itself, it’s the Google Doodles. How many more of these stupid multicultural soccer gifs on its header (hee, hee) do we have to endure? 48 so far, and counting:
Yeah, Team USA lost to the chocolate people - and no, that’s not racist, it’s just who they are:
Sure, it would have been nice to win something for a change, as we’ve been on a losing streak for a while now. First we were handed a bitter loss when the 2011 World Cup games were stolen from us by Quatar while we were still stinging from our loss of the 2016 Olympic Games to Brazil (now that was racist). And that’s why Brazil is the the only nation south of our former border that we are allowed to officially hate.
So, with our loss to Belgium we’re out of the World Cup playoffs; yawn. Everybody around here is more concerned about our 13 game, 9 to zip losing streak against the Supreme Court. This has made our relentless march to nullify the Constitutional limits on Big Guy’s powers somewhat of an uphill battle. Even Monday’s narrow 5 to 4 loss at the hand of the Supremes has some people spooked (not in a racist way), mumbling things like “if we can’t implement our plan to end the Republicans’ War on Women® what can we implement?” I’ve even heard some whispers of “What next? The Senate?”
So I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that basketball and football are still safe around here, even in the age of Obama.Because Bo’s always found b-ball more compelling than soccer:
And we still really like spiking the football:
Although our Secretary of State clearly favors soccer, as he should:
And as far as GM goes, it appears that rumors of its survival may have been exaggerated as well. Despite life support efforts that included the removal of crushing debt from its books and infusions of billions in special future tax breaks, GM managed to lose one-third of its value in less than 2 years. And now it’s official: GM really hasn’t made a car in the past 20 years that hasn’t been recalled!
GM wouldn’t exist today butt for a U.S. government bailout; apparently the same can be said of al Qaeda in Iraq. Maybe we should stop bailing out losers at home as well in the Middle East. And here’s another idea: how about we focus on taking guns away from al Qaeda instead of U.S. citizens?
I was HOPE-ing to stay warm, dry and out of sight of our mounting scandals, thereby avoiding the distasteful task of dealing with the call for “gently used” underwear for our gazillion new wee citizens from across the border.
Who ordered the 500,000 Trojans?
Butt thenGerard reminded me that I am the Keeper of Lady M’s Fashion Flame and, ever since Madonna, underwear is fashion.
So it looks like I’m going to have to wade into this abyss. Thankfully, Diogenes’ Middle Finger has done most of the heavy lifting (so-to-speak) for me:
As always, Lady M sacrificed - even though she doesn’t get paid for it - by sending several sets of her surplus extra-large “gently used” “un-used” panties to the immigrant relief effort. Perhaps you should send some too. I would, butt I’m a gadget and don’t wear, um, under-garments.
And while I appreciate the efforts of my fellow blogger to bring us the truth, I do have to question the provenance of the panties in that picture: I seriously doubt those bloomers ever graced our First Fanny because, as you all know, Lady M definitely prefers thongs. Remember, even post-Madonna, the panties go on under the containment structure.
Well, that’s my opinion and I’m sticking with it. What’s yours?

When Rahm Emmanuel advised “never let a good crisis go to waste” he knew of what he spoke. And we have exploited every last one of them – both God-made and man-made. Now, 6 years later, the crises continue…
“So ... we have to use the crisis — that some view as a crisis, and it does have crisis qualities — as an opportunity to show who we are as Americans, that we do respect people for their divinity and worth.” - Nancy Pelosi, at our former Mexican border June 28, 2014.
Oddly, it would seem as if anybody with half a brain should know that America can’t simply absorb all the troubles in the world into its borders and still manage to be that shining city on a hill, a beacon of liberty and democracy for the rest of the world. Hard to see how usurping our freedom and liberty will serve to advance it around the world isn’t it?
Which brings us once again to that age-old nagging question: ignorant or nefarious?
“Can’t I just eat my taco.”
Meanwhile, we remain in the hands of those who would surrender our freedom for a few votes:
“We shall not overcome” as long as these clowns are in town
