God Save Us From the Queen!...........................from Rico

Right now, the "dream" of the 'progressives' (Donkeys and RINO's alike) is the 2016 election of the 'Queen' of the Communists, the Hillarybeastie.

This would be an absolute nightmare for all of America, and for what remains of the civilized Western world.

God save us from the Queen in 2016!





and a little something I knocked up a while back...........thanks to Bob and Tom

It's obvious!.........................from Rico

The quite OBVIOUS 'success' of ObamaCare should be apparent to all by now.

- The epic train wreck of socialist government central planning is presented here for your consideration.

Looks like more people are signing-up for a one way trip to Mars.

- Too bad it's the wrong people signing-up...I'm sure we can ALL think of some that need to be sent on a one-way trip away from planet earth.


Is this the REAL Hillary Clinton? (Photos and Captions)...from TPC


Will the mainstream media continue to do its assumed job in the 2016 presidential primaries and in the general presidential election in relation to the vetting or more accurately non-vetting of Hillary Clinton?

Doubling-d​own on Box Cars....................................from Rico

Obviously more of the same that caused the problem will "fix" the problem...and if you can't "fix" the problem, why then "fix" the game!

Here in one chart is a summation of the BIS and FED coordinated 'fire sale' of Gold to defend a dying, debt-based, Dollar (actually FRN's...Federal Reserve Notes).

In dice-throwing circles this obvious market manipulation is much the same thing as doubling-down on 'boxcars' (known as crapping-out).

- Instantaneous 'sell' volumes of +5,000 paper Gold contracts half-a-million ounces) every day so far this month, always at about the same time when the markets are 'thin' and not traded), and all designed to 'move' the market price is neither 'coincidence' or free-market price discovery...it is by design and with witting intent [read: criminal]. Oct 1st and 10th both saw over 20,000 paper Gold contracts (over two million ounces, or $2.6 billion, or 2% of annual gobal production) dumped in minutes or less.

The game will be over when enough of the 50:1 paper Gold owners to the physical Gold ounces existing in the COMEX warehouse try to get physical delivery of the nonexistent Gold they have already been sold.

The Press Endures Obama's Unrequited Love


By Alan Caruba

Some years ago Bernard Goldberg wrote a book, “A Slobbering Love Affair With Obama”, about the way the press treated his 2008-9 campaign and election as President. The mainstream press continues to protect Obama, often rather blatantly. The curious thing about this is that it is not reciprocated. More and more, the press acts and sounds like an abused wife.

A case in point is the way the networks—ABC, NBC and CBS—covered the government shutdown. A new report from the Media Research Center analyzed the coverage, finding 41 stories that blamed the Republican Party and zero—none—that blamed the Democrats. There were 17 stories that blamed both sides. Recall, please, the shutdown continued because the President refused to negotiate and the Democrat-controlled Senate refused to vote on any bills sent over from the House.

A recent, glaring example of how some of today’s journalists have debased their profession was the decision by Paul Thornton, editor of The Los Angeles Times letter’s section, to openly refuse to publish any letters from skeptics about the global warming hoax that blames “climate change” on human activity, not the Sun, oceans, and other natural factors.

The cover of the September/October edition of The Quill, the membership magazine of the 8.000-member Society of Professional Journalists, featured an article by Kara Hackett, “There Goes the Sun”, referring to the metaphorical sunlight that is supposed to shine on government activities. The subtitle said, “President Obama has had successes and failures in changing the way Washington works. When it comes to his transparency promises, there’s not much to cheer. His 2008 campaign talked the talk, but nine months into his second term, where’s the walk?”

Journalists pride themselves for being on the cutting edge of events and trends, but they have been slow to realize or to admit that they have been instrumental in electing a pathological liar to the highest office in the land. “Now, after a turbulent start to Obama’s second term in office, his administration’s 2009 promise to be ‘the most open and transparent in history’ is another liability,” lamented Hackett.

Another liability…like an Obamacare from which Congress is exempt, the Benghazi attack last year, the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, the revelations about the National Security Agency, and the fact that the IRS no longer can be trusted with your private and personal information? And that’s the short list.

The Quill devoted six pages to Hackett’s article as she carefully detailed the many measures that seemed to offer a new era in openness. Many reporters chafed at difficulties they encountered during George W. Bush’s two terms, but the hostility to Bush43 was no secret. All administrations are reluctant to share information that might not make them look good. This is a description of the adversarial relationship that has existed since the days of George Washington.

The complaints are old and common, so Obama’s 2009 instruction to agencies and departments to “adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure” when responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) inquiries was music to their ears. In December 2009, the White House issued an Open Government Directive, “ordering agencies to publish at least three high-value data sets on Data.gov and create an open government Web page to update citizens about its progress.”

Like the proverbial frog in a pot of water being slowly brought to a boil, it took reporters a while to get beyond the glow emanating from the administration’s directives to the reality of dealing with government agencies and departments.

New York Times reporter, Sarah Cohen, is quoted as saying that the “information agencies provide is often an extension of their public relations arms to help them enlist support rather than to help the public understand what is really going on.” Well, duh!

What was going on was a variety of government policies that turned out to be duds. A case in point was the billions in loans to “clean energy” companies that frequently declared bankruptcy before the first term ended. Another was the "stimulus."

More blatant was the way the administration twisted arms and offered bribes to some members of Congress to get the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) enacted. Not one Republican voted for it, so they needed every Democrat vote.

Virtually every promise Obama made about the bill has turned out to be a lie.

Within the press community, groups devoted to more open government began to take notice, from the Open the Government Coalition to the National Freedom of Information Coalition, Investigative Reporters and Editors, to the Project on Government Oversight.

The Obama administration became obsessed with secrecy to identify and prosecute “whistleblowers.” 

Hackett noted that “The Obama administration has used the Espionage Act of 1917 seven times, more than all previous presidents combined, to prosecute federal employees who expose government waste, fraud and abuse”, adding “These are the same employees the president once pledged to support.”

Even after signing the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act in November 2012, the administrative created a loophole big enough to drive a tank through. Hackett interviewed Jesselyn Radack, the national security and human rights director for the Government Accountability Project who noted that “whistleblowers who go through the internal channels to report wrongdoing used to suffer workplace reprisals. But now, under Obama, they’re facing the rest of their lives in prison.”

When the Justice Department subpoenaed 21 Associated Press phone lines and accused Fox reporter, James Rosen, of being a possible “co-conspirator” in a leak investigation, it was impossible for the press to ignore the thuggish efforts of the administration to shut down any “leaks” in a way that put a big chill on relations between contacts within the administration and reporters.

A recent report by The Committee to Protect Journalists on “The Obama Administration and the Press Leak investigations and surveillance in post-9/11 America” spelled out the assault on U.S. and foreign journalists, saying that “the White House curbs routine disclosure of information and deploys its own media to evade scrutiny by the press.”

What this means is that the Obama administration has a lot to hide and the front line of defense against its machinations, the press, continues to protect it despite having become a target for oppression. You’re next.

Fish Identifica​tion Query....................from Rico

Once I finally noticed the fish in the picture, I had to ask myself "what kind of fish is that?"

- I have NO idea, and am still 'studying' the matter...



A Bipartisan PSA........................from Rico

Provided as a Public Service Announcement:

- Bipartisan.

This term is thrown-about by the same mindless twits that heaped (and hyped) "CHANGE" upon Americans as if it were somehow a positive, a 'good' thing....ignoring that things CAN 'change' from bad to worse.

- Recent history provides ample proof of that.

Hmmmm...did the equally stupid slogan "YES WE CAN" actually mean 'yes we can change things for the worse?' Decide for yourselves.

Whenever you hear "bipartisan" understand clearly that it means BOTH parties working hand-in-hand to screw YOU.



Before. After.......................from Rico

This speaks for itself.

ObamaCare? Affordable Care Act (ACA)?

- Try CACA instead...

Bill de Blasio for Mayor? Will the official color of NYC be changed to red?...from TPC


Educate yourself about the real Bill de Blasio press conference!

To the residents of New York City the upcoming election is far too important to let embedded ideology or political bias blind you to the basic facts of who Bill de Blasio is, what he has done in the past and the direction that he plans to take your hometown in the future!


If you like what your city has become and want to keep it that way then please educate yourself before you pull the lever because an educated voter is in everyones best interests! If you don't believe that look what uneducated ones got us in Washington!
