It’s over. Labor Day has past and with it the official end of summer. One last chance for a ride in the country to a farm that sells fresh produce in the front yard. Fresh corn to roast on the grill alongside the dead animal flesh,tomatoes and bell peppers for the salad and ripe,red watermelon to remind you of days when you got so messy eating it and spitting the seeds at your sister. Here in the northern climes it seems like it’s warm for such a short time and cold for so long it’s hard,once again,facing the reality of months of freezing cold,snow and ice storms.
This was the coldest summer I can remember in some time. Temperatures every night dropped to the upper 50s-low 60s. We had one day in July when the weather hit 90 degrees and maybe two days in August. The park district pools and the water theme park suffered because the water never gets really warm and kid aren’t too keen on swimming when it’s 70 degrees. The farmer we talked to said all the rain we got really made the corn grow. Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that God has a plan for everything He does,even if we whine like little kids about it.
To my beautiful friend,Ting. I suffer from diabetes,as does your daughter. My prayers are with you and your family in your time of trial. Put your faith and trust in Almighty God and he will hold you close and grant you peace.
I know….I’ve been there. We fail on a daily basis. He never does.
No editorializing today. Did too much of it yesterday.
Chrissy commented yesterday about Barky making an ass of himself in fromt of the American Legion.
Here’s the deal:
American Legion Gives Obama TEPID CLAPPING That Lasts ONLY A FEW SECONDS
This was his first appearance in front of the group since the VA scandal broke earlier this year. Obama blamed George W. Bush for the VA Scandal back in May
A Virginia legionnaire who served in the U.S. Marine Corps told MailOnline that ‘a small group of Obama’s admirers – and there are some here – sat near the front and tried to generate applause for him about 10 times.’
The Emmy Awards were presented last night. I couldn’t care less. A bunch of overpaid actors with inflated egos all congratulating each other on their tres tres coolness. I haven’t watched network television in years,save Chicago Bears games. Cable offers more interesting things to me and I don’t have to deal with the subtle political messages so many of them covertly slip into their story lines.
The VMA Awards were Sunday,which was another celebration of drugged out “musicians” and the garbage that passes for music these days. Of course,some of the dark-complected purveyors of unintelligible chanting they pass off as music paid homage to the latest cause celebre,which is lionizing a filthy criminal who met his end in Ferguson, Missouri.
The race hucksters,with full support of the leftist media and the democrat party(redundant), are wallowing in racial demagoguery
and ignoring facts in lieu of an excuse to commit more assaults,more robberies and blame it all on the police who are tasked with trying to control these animals. There have been a number of cases where I felt the police may have overreacted,but I can understand that as often as they are shot at, spit on, and assaulted by criminal suspects and their relatives, why they are inclined to take extraordinary measures to protect their own lives. The media would surely never give a slain officer the coverage they give a thug who tried to beat a policeman to death.
Brown’s funeral yesterday,as expected,turned into something akin to a racial pep rally reminiscent of the Paul Wellstone memorial. The New Black Panthers were replaced by Screwy Louie Farrakhan and his Nation of Antisemites brigade. There will be enormous pressure on the District Attorney and the grand jury to indict Officer Wilson,regardless of what the evidence shows. I can foresee the media,ever helpful,tracing the DA to his home so picketers can visit him. Nothing short of conviction and public execution will assuage the mob,if only (very)momentarily.
THESE SHIRTS WERE SOLD OUTSIDE THE FUNERAL SERVICE
One arrest in possibly racial West Point beating, others expected
This is Ralph Weems,an Iraq War veteran. He and a friend who is an Air Force veteran of Afghanistan went to a Waffle house for breakfast Saturday morning. Before they went in,they were politely told that it was “not a safe place for white people” since many knee-grows were itching to revenge their ‘brutha’ who got his ass ventilated in Ferguson.
Meet Courtez McMillan. He and three other friends (they always run in packs unless they’re assaulting women or elderly) exercised their free speech rights by beating Mr. Weems so badly he suffered bleeding on his brain. The authorities suspect this may have been a hate crime.
For as long as I have carried newspapers,just about three years,there has been a man who only came in on Sundays to help his friend deliver some of the papers she was responsible for. This past Sunday they were in his truck,watching a 3″ TV screen while we waited for the truck to deliver the papers from Chicago. All seemed normal.
Later that afternoon I got a call saying that Bill had died. All I could do was keep saying ‘what? what? what?’ over and over. It all seemed surreal. Apparently he’d gone home and went to sleep and when he got up to use the bathroom started yelling to his wife that he couldn’t breathe. The paramedics couldn’t revive him.
He was just a year younger than me and physically we were strikingly similar. Both of us had had a quadruple bypass,were Type II diabetics,both had pacemakers,both have emphysema from smoking and both of us have sleep apnea. The big difference was I quit smoking a year and a half ago after puffing for 40 years and he still continued to smoke. I finally admitted to myself that the reason I could quit cold turkey without so much as a craving was that being as close to death as I was scared the hell out of me. I felt like God was saying, ‘this is your last warning.’ Not being able to see my grandkids grow up or see my wife’s pretty face anymore was all the incentive I needed.
There is not a doubt in my mind that if I had not quit I would not be here blogging with you today. My fate is likely to end up the same way as Bill,but maybe I can manage a little more time here on Earth. A few more Christmases,birthdays,weddings,ball games and holding hands on the couch with DW. Bill had talked about going to the doctor Wednesday to see about a smoking cessation program. Now the point is moot and all I can think is that there but for the Grace of God go I. Cigarettes cost me a friend. They will one day cost my family. That is the cross I bear.
Been a rough week…..
Racial riots,looting,beheadings,democrats pontificating shamelessly,all being ignored by the robotic despot who feels nothing for anybody or anything save his own selfish desires.
FOUND IT
DW ACTUALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AT THIS ONE…I CAN RELATE :
I read a number of articles today by legal people saying there’s no way a grand jury will indict Ofc. Darren Wilson,given the facts at hand and more than a dozen witnesses who saw Saint Charging Bull pummel the officer senseless and after starting to leave the scene,came back to finish the beating. That’s when Wilson used deadly force to stop the 300 lb. Brown.Wilson was taken to the hospital for treatment for severe facial wounds.
Facts, unfortunately, are nothing but an annoyance to the liberal agenda. Holder met yesterday with the aggrieved,soon-to-be-millionaire birth units of the young gangster and reassured the screaming mobs ‘change is coming.’
Holder visits suburban St. Louis, says ‘change is coming’ after police shooting http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/08/20/holder-arrives-in-ferguson-after-subdued-protests/
Jay Nixon (dirtpile-Mo.) has already tried and convicted the officer.
All the policeman has to do is avoid being railroaded by the governor,the US Attorney General and,ultimately,the President.
Outside the St. Louis County Justice Center in Clayton, where the grand jury was expected to convene on the matter, two dozen protesters gathered in a circle for a prayer, chanted, and held signs urging prosecutor Bob McCulloch to step aside. Nearly two dozen officers guarded the building’s main entrance, which also was blocked off with yellow police tape.
Businesses in Clayton prepare for the lawless hordes about to descend on them to steal everything they can lay hands to.
I spoke with another black I work with and he thinks its perfectly OK for his ‘people’ to take what they can get,sees no problem in baby mama and baby daddy making lots of money because they kid was a criminal and says blacks killing whites is simply “payback.”
He wasn’t joking.There is no doubt a deep-seated racial hatred that runs deep in the black culture. That,frankly,frightens the hell out of me.
In the other top story today,African Idol Barry Obama gave a five minute statement on the butchering of James Foley,mumbled some crap about ISIS not representing peace-loving muslims,then 8 minutes…EIGHT FREAKING MINUTES!!!! later he was out of his jacket and dress shirt and back on the golf course for a 5 hour round with his buddies. Those of us on the right are sickened but far from surprised,while the left feigns outrage that their hero feels no empathy for anyone but himself. That’s the description of a total narcissist.
There have been thousands…nay,tens,hundreds of thousands of words already written about the events in this St. Louis suburb. As long as the liberals can squeeze the last tiny bit of blood out of this stone there will be no end. It happened Saturday,Aug 9. I first heard about it Sunday morning as I delivered my papers. The first thoughts that flashed in my mind were that the looters and anarchists would descend first,given a chance to turn a protest into an opportunity to break,burn and steal without consequence. Soon,I figured,the usual race-hustling pimps would stick their faces in front of the cameras screaming about how the ‘poor black boys’ are systematically victimized. Right on cue,Sharpton and Jackson arrived in their private jets and chauferred limousines. They were joined by the Communist Party Chicago chapter and the New Black Panthers.
Chicago Revolutionary Communists Instigating In #Ferguson
We’ve seen all manner of outside agitators at work seeking to use Ferguson for their own ends. Perhaps the worst of the lot are the Revolutionary Communist Party, who are actively ginning up the violence.
The white man in the middle inciting the crowd with the bull horn is Gregory Lee Johnson, a long term member of the Revolutionary Communist Party. The RCP has “Clubs” in various cities.
In an instant,rumors started flying that 18 year old Michael Brown,a 6’4″,300 lb. hulk was shot in the back while he had his hands up. Officer Darren Wilson was pronounced guilty of murder in the court of public opinion and exhorted by the deceased Bloods street gang members mama to ‘come forward and take his punishment.’ The attorney for the newly-minted millionaire birth units to the late St. Skittles flew in on his flying briefcase and demanded justice for this poor young boy.
Holder’s Justice Dept. was vehemently opposed to the Ferguson PD releasing videotape showing Mr. Brown and an accomplice robbing a store and getting away with cash and a box of Swisher Sweet cigars,which are emptied and filled with marijuana and known as ‘blunts.’
By Monday,the New black panthers were whipping the crowd up with chants of:
Who dowe want?…Darren Wilson
How do we want him?…DEAD!
BLACK PANTHERS Lead Massive March in #Ferguson==> ‘Death Chants’ to Officer Darren Wilson (Video)
CNN,ever the civic-minded news organization,took a camera crew to the street where Ofc. Wilson lives with his wife and young child and even pointed out which house was his,just in case anybody was in the mood for some ‘street justice’ by killing him,his family and burning down his house.Would this satisfy the mob?you’re kidding,right?
it seems every black liberal woman in politics is a grade A moonbat:
What do facts matter when you can do some real race pimpin’?
MO State Senator: Brown Shooting Was ‘An Assassination’
“I do have to tell you, looking at the autopsy report last evening, um, it looks like Michael Brown was just killed. It was an assassination, and many of the community members are waiting for this police officer to be arrested. They’re waiting for a grand jury and an indictment. And so, until that happens, I still see unrest. And many of the people want to continue to protest in peace.” http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/mo-state-senator-brown-shooting-was-assassination
Jay Nixon,the shitbag governor,sided with the rioters and called in the State Police.When that didn’t work he called out the National Guard.Screams of protest were heard about the use of tanks and tear gas.
He also pronounced Wilson guilty without benefit of trial:
Gov. Jay Nixon: Forget about innocent until proven guilty, prosecute Darren Wilson
Obama is sending his caporegime,Himmler-Holder today to make sure the racial hatred burns hot,no doubt to detract from his foreign policy failures and todays beheading of James Foley.
Holder will be accompnied by ‘Air” Claire McCaskill and Rino Roy Blunt.
Being the hardened cynic that I am,I’m thinking Barry wouldn’t mind the violence and the aftermath to stretch to close to election day to whip the plantation=dwellers into a froth and get them to the polls as many times as they can get away with.
Eric Holder Kick Starts DOJ Distraction Machine – Begins Ferguson Missouri Racial Grievance Movement…
Eric Holder is instituting the same process in Ferguson Missouri he used in Sanford Florida. The civil rights wing of the DOJ is dispatched into Ferguson. They are officially called the “Community Relations Service” (CRS), and historically -in previous administrations- have been called upon when racial animus is a concern amid a local municipality. http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2014/08/14/eric-holder-kick-starts-doj-distraction-machine-begins-ferguson-missouri-racial-grievance-movement/
My circle of black friends totals three.All are carriers like me,and Willie is a good friend.He’s intelligent,has three jobs and just had a son start at Harvard.I enjoy talking to him about a lot of things,mostly sports,but the conversation the last couple days has opened my eyes.
He steadfastly defends the Clown Prince,claims the economy is still all Bush’s fault and feels black men are gunned down by white police officers as a matter of rote.He’s convinced there are just as many white-on-black crimes as there are the other way.The answer,he feels,is more black cops in black neighborhoods.He’s fallen victim to the MSM propaganda blaming all the black man’s ills solely on the evil white man.I love him like a brother,but now I can see what the media has wrought.
This is the prevalent attitude of the entitlement class engaged in thuggery
Looter: ‘I’m Proud of Us. We Deserve This’
According to the Washington Post, a looter in Ferguson, Missouri, expressed pride and admiration for looters and said their actions are justified.
“I’m proud of us. We deserve this, and this is what’s supposed to happen when there’s injustice in your community,” said DeAndre Smith, whom the Washington Post says was “fresh from looting the QuikTrip.”
As near as I can discern,there was an altercation at the policeman’s squad car where beown reportedly tried to get Wilson’s gun.He hit him so hardhe broke wilsons orbital lobe uner his eye.He then turned to run away but then turned around and came back at him.thats when the 6 shots were fired.wilson,being of normal size and Bron the size of an NFL lineman,I could understand the officer being in fear for his life.Whatever happened,hopefully the truth will come out.I’m just fearful that a good man is going to be railroaded to appease the racial opportunists.
Anderson Cooper may have let the cat out of the proverbial bag:
Do the Ferguson Protestors Really Want Justice?
African Americans in Ferguson, MO are demanding justice over the shooting of Michael Brown. But, a clear-eyed observer might conclude differently: what they really want is vengeance, a public lynching, hauling out Officer Darren Wilson in chains, watching as he pleads for mercy, then asking the crowd to shout out its judgment and guilty verdict announced, dispatching him as gruesomely as possible while the crowd roars its approval. http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/08/do_the_ferguson_protestors_really_want_justice.html#ixzz3AxlB3zaq
When Jesse first addressed the mob,he ended up pandering for donations and was booed off the stage. Since it is said the most dangerous place is between Jackson and a TV camera,he had to do something to attract attention:
Jesse Jackson talks voter registration at Ferguson McDonald’s
“It has to change,” Jackson said about the lack of minorities on Ferguson’s police department and local governance.
“Five thousand new voters will transform the city from top to bottom,” he said.
There is still much chaos to be plumbed from the lawlessness being perpetrated. Hopefully it will conclude in the fullness of time. Until the next time a white person has the temerity to defend himself against a criminal.
GUESS WHO’S GIVING THE EULOGY FOR SAINT BROWNIE?
A FEW STORES WERE SPARED BY THE LOOTERS…CAN YOU GUESS WHY?
IMAGINE OWNING A STORE YOU WORKED AND SACRIFICED TO BUILD,THEN SEEING THIS ON TELEVISION?
OBAMA IS WORKING TIRELESSLY TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS THE OUNTRY IS FACING
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon as the Winnebago Middle School took the field against the powerhouse Stillman Valley team. Winnebago dressed scarcely 20 players while Stillman had over 50 on their traveling team. The Indians fought hard,but were overmatched against the larger Cardinals. They did,however,avoid a shutout by scoring in the fourth quarter. Even after a 38-8 defeat,no one hung their heads. Coaches and parents were all supportive of the kids’ efforts. R.J. Pistol had mom,dad,stepmom,stepdad,both grandmas and ol’ grandad along with sisters and an aunt to cheer him on. Spending time with family is about the best thing I can think of at this point in my life. For the admission price of $1.00 I considered it a wonderful bargain.
