Breaking News: Liberals Threatening to Leave Country Again; Things Must be Looking Up!

wile_e_coyote

Ten Buck Friday was an astounding success! Thanks for being a part of it! Here’s the election low-down, from Proof-Positive:

We asked you to give of your time, your talent and your treasure to kick Harry Reid’s keister to the curb with eight different Senatorial candidates. Let’s see how well we’ve done as of this AM:

It looks like the GOP will take control of the US Senate in 2015. I fully expect them to pass a budget next year, as required by law, and ignored by Harry Reid and his Merry Band of Pranksters since 2009.

In New Hampshire, Scott Brown apparently lost by 1-2%, but has not conceded as of yet.

In Colorado, Cory Gardner beat Mark Uterus Udall handily.

In North Carolina, Thom Tillis has been declared the winner.

In Arkansas, Tom Cotton won by a substantial margin.

Joni Ernst castrated one more hog in Iowa, becoming the 6th and controlling majority vote in the Senate. (margins may increase between now and January.)

David Perdue took more than 50% of the vote in Georgia, avoiding a runoff. 57% last time I looked

In Alaska, the polls didn’t close until 1 AM Eastern. I will update this in the AM, or at first opportunity.

We fully expected there to be a run off in Louisiana that might not be decided until December. We were right. Bill Cassidy was leading Mary Landfill by 2%

Ten Ugly Facts About the State of our Country that Democrats Want to Hide on Election Day

DONKEY3The first nine (and the graphic) are from the geniuses at Cain TV and Diogenes Middle Finger.  The tenth is from U.S. Government sources and will be of special interest to those of you in military families:

As we all get ready to head to the polls tomorrow, Democrats want you focused on the Koch brothers (that evil fang-toothed fictionalized version, not the real ones who are excellent and highly successful businessmen) and their “war on women” crapola.

What they do not want you focused on is the data that shows what failures they have been leading this nation. Many people do not even know the facts I’m about to share, because the mainstream media do not report them. So read them and share them with nine friends who are going to vote tomorrow. It just might help decide whether Harry Reid remains in control of the Senate or is sent to the back bench where he belongs. (Actually that’s not where he belongs, but I’ll not get into that now.)

Ten facts Democrats do not want to talk about:

1. Sluggish economic growth. Yes, we’ve had a couple of strong quarters, but annualized growth throughout the Obama presidency has been less than 2 percent. That is horrendous.

2. Median income is down $3,000 per household since Obama took office. Astonishing.

3. The labor participation rate is down from 67 percent to 62 percent, which makes the published unemployment rate look much better than it really is. The U6 rate, which includes those who have given up looking for work, remains over 10 percent.

4. More part-time jobs have been created than full-time jobs in last six years.

5. The home ownership rate is down from 67 percent to 64 percent.

6. Taxes went up when the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire. Liberals will say that’s fine because they only went up on the rich. I say the government did what it too often does and chose to target producers and opportunity creators.

7. ObamaCare is a failure! More people are losing their insurance than are becoming newly insured, and 51 percent of those enrolled in the exchanges say they will not re-up given the opportunity the next time around. Then there are the 29ers (people being limited to 29 hours a week because of ObamaCare mandates) and the 49ers (not the San Francisco ones . . . the businesses intentionally staying under 50 employees to avoid the coverage mandate). There are also thousands of doctors refusing patients with ObamaCare coverage because they can’t cover their costs on the reimbursements, while thousands more doctors are retiring early.

8. The national debt has exceeded $17 trillion for the first time in U.S. history. Remember when Obama declared as a senator that running up debt was unpatriotic? Um. Yeah.

9. From the Middle East to Eastern Europe to Russia to Britain to the Falkland Islands to Latin America to Mexico to the Far East, our foreign policy is a muddled mess. Shockingly to Obama the rest of the world did not conform to his global ideals just because he gave speeches saying they should.

10. Twice as many U.S. military deaths have happened in the Middle East under Obama’s watch in half the time as under President Bush’s.  This happened despite aggressive campaigning by Obama against the war in Iraq, promoting him as the bringer of peace to the region, a foreign policy prodigy and the savior of U.S. service men and women.

Please keep these facts in mind as you vote tomorrow.

Weather Channel Founder Shuts Down CNN’s Brian Stelter on Global Warming

Via SooperMexican and The Right Scoop: Click HERE to see the video.
CNN1
In this interview set up to make John Coleman look like a senile climate denier, with the current (adversarial) CEO of the Weather Channel coming on right afterwards to pummel him unopposed, the tables were turned. Coleman made a striking statement condemning global climate hysteria as unscientific.  Stelter was left sputtering about how “Scientists would disagree with you.” Coleman’s response, paraphrasing: “I AM a scientist, and you’re not.” When asked to respond to Obama’s claimed “97% consensus” on climate change, Coleman calmly explained that the government only gives money to researchers who will produce papers supporting the adopted theory, so that consensus is not surprising, but “bought and paid for,” nevertheless.

Ten Buck Friday – Home Stretch

Ten Buck Friday Democrat Trainwreck
Week Nine of our mission to save our Senate from Harry Reid is here. Over past months we have been pointing out the critical opportunity we have in this midterm election to put both legislative houses in Republican hands and begin to end the Obama nightmare. We have asked people to consider zeroing in on those key congressional races around the country where good conservative candidates have a chance and to contribute to their campaigns if possible. It’s not too late to help! Please make sure you cast your votes by next Tuesday!

Here are current standings of the eight candidates we’ve backed to date:
Scott Brown – New Hampshire -2.2
Cory Gardner – Colorado +3.3
Bill Cassidy – Louisiana +4.5
Thom Tillis – North Carolina -1
Tom Cotton – Arkansas +5
Joni Ernst – Iowa +2.1
David Perdue – Georgia +.4
Dan Sullivan – Alaska + 2.2

(All polls via Real Clear Politics)
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2014/senate/2014_elections_senate_map.html

Consider these important close races!
Contribute to Cory Gardner (CO) Here
Contribute to Tom Cotton (AR) Here
Contribute to Joni Ernst (IA) Here
Contribute to Bill Cassidy (LA) Here
Contribute to Thom Tillis (NC) Here

If you are unable to make a contribution, you can help the candidate(s) tremendously by encouraging friends, family, neighbors and/or co-workers to vote. Volunteer your valuable time. Put up a campaign sign in your yard. Make sure you go to the polls. We cannot afford to sit this election out.

(If you mark your contribution as “Ten Buck Friday”, they’ll see if the blogosphere can give them a little bump.)

The Daily Caller had a little amusing commentary on Joe Scarborough’s (co-host of PMSNBC’s show “Morning Joe”) recent Instagram photo showing him with his 1969 Ford Bronco. I’m not sure which is more frightening, the Bronco, his Izod shirt, the orange pants or his black dress shoes. At least his Bronco is in better shape than my mom’s 1969 Ford Fairlane, which rusted into a pile of debris in the driveway and had to be shoveled into the trash. In 1971.

ISIS Gloats over Beheaded ‘Rehana’

RihIt is now almost certain that renowned female Kurdish freedom fighter, known by her pseudonym ‘Rehana,’ has not survived the battle of Kobane and has been beheaded by ISIS troops. This has been reported by various international sources, including the AP, the Daily Mail, and the Herald Sun in Australia, although the Kurdish Women’s Defence Unit, or YPJ, has issued no official confirmation. To see a photo of a grinning ISIS douche-monkey holding up her severed head, go to the DC Gazette, here. If you would rather not see the ISIS photo, know that her face looks appropriately pleased and at peace while the ISIS fighter just looks like an idiot.

Although this woman has achieved worldwide notoriety by killing over 100 ISIS fighters, according to journalist Pawan Durani, in defense of Kurdish territory, her death is a blow to the morale of the Kurd fighters. The DC Gazette eulogizes her thusly:

“Thank you Rehana for your bravery and willingness to both kill and be killed fighting this particular manifestation of Islamic fundamentalist evil that has raped and slaughtered its way across your homeland. May your bravery, story, and sacrifice be an inspiration to a great many others in this fight.”
