A Rant for the Fourth Week of June!!

I felt like I needed to shoot out a new rant and get this blog up and running again……It’s been a while.

-          Hillary Clinton first claimed that her and Slick Willie were poor upon leaving the White House…of course they made $12 million the first year out of the white house and she was already a Senator getting paid as such……But honestly…...It was hell for them.

-          Now Hillary claims that her and SW are not as rich as other multi-millionaires (she made $5 million last year). If you just go by those two numbers then they have cleared over $1 million a year since leaving the White House and that does even include the other 11 years in between. Go ahead Hillary….keep using that line of logic….that should connect with common folk….or at least the DEM Lemmings!

-          The IRS requires seven years of records for their auditing purposes, yet they can’t even keep up with emails from two years ago that congress wants for their auditing purposes. I’m not sure why someone doesn’t subpoena the NSA for the IRS’s emails……they gotta be there somewhere.

-          This week the President spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin and according to Josh Earnest, the new White House Propaganda Minister…errrrr….Spokesman, the President told Putin that if he didn’t back down from his current aggressive position that there would be “additional costs” to pay for their aggression. I’m sure old Vlad is shaking in his boots over that threat. Let’s see….the community organizer vs. the former KGB Colonel…….WHATEVER!!!!

-          Lastly, I am glad that the leaders of Texas have taken the next step to help secure the southern border of the state from the influx of illegal immigrants and criminals. Now if we could better control the influx of immigrants across the rest of our borders from the liberal havens like California before we are outnumbered.

Well there you go. I didn’t mention a few things, but I intend to write about them in the coming days.

Thank You For Your Support,

A Kind-Of-Weekly Rant!!

Well I wrote a sports rant earlier today but there is so much going on right now it just feels right to put out a rant on the rest of the world. Here it goes.

1.       The President has selected his National Security Advisor John Brennan as his choice to take over the CIA. Just for past reference, we already went through this four years ago with Brennan, but he pulled his name out of the nomination process because he was too concerned about the scrutiny he would face for failed predictions from earlier. Of course he’s only had to admit he failed the current president on about a half dozen occasions since became NSA. Just a short list of his mistakes; Benghazi, The Iranian Uprising in 2009, the state of the Iranian Nuclear Program, the make-up of the Egyptian uprising, and the list just keeps on growing. Nice Choice there.

2.       The President has selected former Senator Chuck Hagel as his choice for Secretary of Defense. Another nice choice, especially if you are all for allowing the Iranians to do whatever the hell they want – Unchecked – and if you are absolutely anti-Israel. Chuck Hagel proclaims himself a Republican and he is….I guess. But he is the Republican who gave Barack the 2008 GOP boost similar to 2012’s last minute boost by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.  

3.       Speaking of Chris Christie and his instrumental moment in the Re-Elect Obama Campaign; Today the good Governor came out and complained that when the President came to New Jersey he said that all the red tape and bureaucracy would be cut out to make things right. Christie railed the feds for it now being 70 days since Hurricane Sandy and how it only took seven days to get cracking on making things right following Hurricane Katrina. Gee, maybe the good governor should have thought of that when he was hugging Barack!!

4.       Retired Army General Stanley McChrystal, former commander in Afghanistan, began his anti-gun rhetoric saying that only soldiers should carry certain weapons. What a crock of you-know-what. The constitution has the 2^nd amendment and any other gun laws should be left to the states under the 10^th amendment. Once again the 2^nd amendment is about creating an atmosphere that allows the citizenry of the country to never fear the federal government and enforcement of the 2^nd amendment is what helps to manage that. Of course McChrystal is known for shooting himself in the foot by shooting off his mouth a little too often in Afghanistan.

5.       Today government officials released a report in which they state that they think the former FBI agent Robert Levinson was being held by Iran or one of their proxies. Well, that is an amazing deduction as he was captured/went missing on the Iranian island of Kish in 2007. Gee, with this sort of intelligence breakthrough they might be able to crack the whole how many licks to the center of a Tootsie-Roll Pop dilemma.

6.       In regards to another overreaching underachieving government agency, congratulations to the EPA, due to new stricter (and unnecessary) emissions standards, 15 coal power plants will be closing in Georgia in the next few months causing a loss of nearly 450 jobs and reducing the power grid efficiency by 15%. Nice job there, or should I say nice reduction in the job creation of the federal government’s policies.

7.       Now for a little lighter material. A Dutch non-profit company, Mars One, is sponsoring a reality TV based program to select the astronauts it will use to begin the colonization of Mars. Only catch, once you get to the Martian surface there is no return trip. The good news is that as far as anyone knows there is no income tax on Mars. Sound good?

Well, that’s it for tonight. Hope I didn’t offend anyone!! Remember, it’s all fun until someone loses an eye!!

Later,

Bill
