Preparing for Today's TOTUS SOTU..........................from Rico

Boy Marxist was in his office preparing for today's teleprompter reading of his SOTU address when Moochelle walked in and stopped, horrified....

"WHAT are you DOING?" she screamed, as Barry continued to carve a hole in one end of a potato.

- He calmly replied that he was going to present himself to the former Republic as their new 'dick tater' as he fumbled to properly arrange the now prepared spud while unzipping himself.

"The correct term is dictator, you moron, not dick tater" laughed her wholly majestic highness before adding "besides, while you are a 'dick' you really don't have one..."

The #VRWC Report, your Dictators R Us edition

Valerie Jarrett loves her presidential dictator. Until Sarah Palin is sworn in...

Dear Leader has invited gay NBA player Jason Collins to be his guest at tonight's SOTU. Wait, is he gonna perform a gay wedding? All the Kool Kidz are doing it on TV now, and Obama never misses an opportunity to poke a stick in the eye of America's Christians.

More likely, it'll just be deja vu all over again. But in case Dear Leader says something we haven't heard before, here's your Official SOTU Bingo Card.

Punching back twice as hard: Students sue California for public school failures; teachers unions freak out.

The numbers don't lie: Increasing the minimum wage increases teen unemployment.

The loony leftist gun-grabbers at Moms Demand Action took their idiocy to the corporate offices of Staples. Hilarity ensued.

Prayers and donations are needed for New Orleans jazz musician Doug Potter who was savagely beaten last Monday by some "thugs" while walking to his car after a gig. This so-called "knockout game" needs some new rules, as in "you hit us, we shoot you."

As if we needed another reason to despise Common Core: It includes a massive database of students' personal data, accessible to pretty much everyone. Except the student and his parents, because, privacy.

Are we about to witness Divorce, Obama style? Read the East Wing tea leaves, and gird your loins.

What is this world coming to? The Marlboro Man begets Pajama Boy.

Finally for today, last week everyone was laughing at North Korea for claiming they successfully landed a man on the sun. What's so hard to believe about that? He went at night!

The 'invisible' will become 'visible'......................from Rico

It won't be very long now when the 'invisible' tax of inflation becomes a very 'visible' tax. Painfully so.

The INVISIBLE tax. How your central bank and government steal from you in broad daylight.

- John Willams of ShadowStats (SGS) says it best: "The average Social Security check was $321 in 1980 and in 2011 was $1183 (adjusted for inflation). But, if that $321 in 1980 were to be fully adjusted for inflation acording to the way inflation was calculated in 1980 (cost of gasoline and food included), then that $321 should be $3,368 to have the same purchasing power today."

CONTEXT. Economist Laurence Kotlikoff calculates the REAL debt of the US Government to be $205 trillion.

- "The US is not only broke, but is in the worst shape of any developed country...worse than Detroit."

The VISIBLE tax. If your central bank and government are thieves in the best of times, what will they become when evrything turns to shit...nice people?

- For those who may or may not recall the Bank bail-in of Cyprus, it's time to think about national bail-ins. The same as with Banks, only now by Country...the same ones who caused the problem are going to punish the ones who did not by making them pay for it.

- Germany's central bank has just proposed a 'wealth tax' [read: capital levy, or more accurately confiscation of private wealth] on depositors to solve the insolvency of Euro-governments. Bail-in on a national scale.

- The attached is how much is wanted/needed to solve the problem. At least that is what these pathological liars are openly saying now. You can bet that (a) it won't be enough, (b) it won't ever be enough, and (c) it WILL be coming your way soon.

HOPE. When this all collapses, the best hope is that it will only be as bad as the Great Depression was, and not far worse...

- You know the expression about wishing (hoping) in one hand, right?

I Am Afraid of My Government

By Alan Caruba

I came into this world when Franklin D. Roosevelt was President and I have never been afraid of my government until now.

I am not alone. A consistent and growing theme of commentaries on the conservative news sites and blogs that I read every day is the fear of the Obama administration that has been cracking down on those who criticize it. They get audited by the IRS. They are refused the same status as non-profit entitles engaging in public education as Left-leaning organizations. They are accused of being racists, homophobes, anti-immigration, and anti-women.

This goes beyond the ordinary disagreements between individuals and groups that express opposition to the Obama administration. It has the look of a deliberate campaign and we have three more years of Obama as President in which to endure it.

In a speech to the leftist nonprofit Center for American Progress, Sen. Chuck Schumer, (D-BY) recently urged the IRS to “redouble” its intimidation tactics against the Tea Party. He represents a State whose governor recently said that conservatives were not welcome to live and do business. Its largest city, New York, just elected a Marxist as its mayor.

Jim Lakely, the director of communications of The Heartland Institute, a free market think tank that has led the effort to debunk the global warming hoax, recently posted a commentary, “The Unceasing Political Thuggery of Obama’s Gangster Government.” He noted Michael Barone’s description of the Obama administration as a “gangster government.”

Lakely cited the growing list of actions taken against who have expressed criticism. It includes Dinesh D’Souza who produced a documentary about Obama’s life, “Obama’s America” and who arrested on felony charges for violating campaign finance law. “This is beyond absurd—especially in light of what the FBI and IRS have found not worthy of any investigation, let alone indictment” in the past. A Hollywood group of conservatives, the only one there, received an IRS demand for its complete donor list; this is a repeat of similar demands of Tea Party groups seeking non-profit status. James O’Keefe whose Project Veritas exposed the nonprofit status of the leftist ACORN is being audited as was Frank VanderSloot, a big Republican donor as was conservative journalist Wayne Allen Root—twice. The list keeps growing.

The Heartland Institute was subjected to the stealing of its confidential budget and planning documents by global warming activist Peter Gleick “for the purpose of harassing” its donors, but no action has been taken against him by law enforcement authorities.

“Never in the history of this country have we seen such a broad and coordinated abuse of the government’s power to threaten criminal prosecution and ruin the lives and livelihoods of people the President and his party see as political ‘enemies’”, says Lakely.

“This should be the political scandal of the century—if only we had an honorable and competent MSM (mainstream media) press corps in this country.”

Ordinary Americans have cause to share my fear as they discover the wreckage that Obamacare is inflicting on our healthcare system, losing their insurance plans, and now we are hearing that the insurance industry may have to be bailed out as it is subjected to major losses. The government’s website is not only a disaster, but it subjects anyone using it to the threat of identity theft as experts testify it can be hacked with ease.

The economy of a nation with enormous energy reserves, enough to make us energy sufficient for decades, is being undermined by a deliberate campaign to shut down coal-fired plants and make the construction of new ones impossible. The Keystone XL pipeline from Canada has been delayed for five years despite the jobs it represents and access to oil at the same time the government has slowed the provision of leases to oil companies seeking to explore and extract our own reserves.

And millions of Americans are out of work or have ceased looking for work as the result of the worst economic “recovery” in the history of the nation. This is occurring at a time when the Obama administration has added $6 trillion to the nation’s debt, causing a leading credit agency to downgrade the nation’s credit rating for the first time in its history.

The scandals attributed to the Obama administration keep mounting from “Fast and Furious” that transmitted weapons to Mexican drug cartels, to the failure to provide security to our Libyan consulate despite many requests, leading to the Benghazi killing of a U.S. ambassador and three brave security personnel who went to his aid. The list keeps growing.

There is ample reason for Americans to fear their government these days and the mood of the nation is growing worse as they realize that they have a President who lies all the time and pursues “climate change” policies that have no basis in known science and a campaign of class war based on “income inequality” as the incomes of Middle Class Americans have suffered a decline. The solution to income inequality has always been an increase in the national economy.

The nation’s military is being undermined by budget cuts and policies that encourage open homosexual participation and the introduction of women into its combat forces. A growing list of generals and admirals have been forced to retire.

It has taken only five years to bring the nation to this point and none of the scandals has resulted in anyone in the Obama administration being held accountable.

They have good reason. When they can no longer depend on the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service, and other elements of the government to act lawfully, this nation—a nation of laws—we are all in jeopardy.

For these and other reasons I and many Americans are growing fearful. We have good reason.

Some good advice on driving and drinking....................

1. If you drive, don't drive drunk.

2. If you get caught for driving drunk, don't drive drunk again.

3. If you get caught for driving drunk a second time, don't drive drunk again.

4. If the police notice you're driving erratically because you're drunk (again), pull over.

5. Do not run away from your vehicle in the forest.

6. If you run away from your vehicle, do not leave your wallet in it.

7. Do not run through deep snow. You leave footprints.

8. If it is cold out, do not toss your jacket aside. If the footprints keep going, they will follow them, not your jacket.

9. Do not climb a frozen tree, especially to a height of 30 feet. You're not fooling anyone.

10. If cornered by police while up in the tree, do not ask them if they caught "the guy who was driving" in slurred speech.

11. If the police point out that there was only one set of tracks, do not insist that "the other guy" (presumably the one who was driving) carried you on his back.

12. Insisting that you're an innocent owl, instead of a drunk guy in a tree, isn't going to fool them.

13. Shaking the branches to make snow fall on officers, and then yelling "Look! It's snowing!" isn't going to make them go away. They will just get a chainsaw.

14. Claiming that you were "just out for a run" isn't compatible with previously claiming to have been an owl. They fly.

.... and if you don't think one drunk guy could do all of the above, think again. Here is the link to that memorable incident:

'70s Marlboro Man Eric Lawson Dies of Smoking-Related Disease

Here, "Marlboro Man Eric Lawson Dead: Smoking-Related Illness Cited":

A phenomenally successful ad campaign by the cigarette maker.

But cigarettes kill, no need to be PC about it. My mom had major lung surgery last year after some 50-odd years of smoking. She's lucky to be alive. My wife's mom died of lung cancer sometime back, and her dad gave up cigarettes a few years ago after saying he'd never quit. At some point mortality stares you in the face and you realize smoking's not worth it --- although I'm not an anti-smoking activist. Folks should be able to enjoy a smoke if they want it. The problem is that they're so addictive. I smoked for a couple of years when I was going to Hollywood all the time. A cigarette and a cup of coffee is a major stimulation feed! Amazing even, the kick you get out of the nicotine (once you get use to it). Not glamorous anymore, although I still admire the rugged look sometimes. It's part of the culture.

Obama's Red Herrings Starting to Stink............................from Dan Friedman

[There's much discussion in Israel about a "change of tone” coming from senior government officials like Ya'alon, Netanyahu, and even Tzipi Livni. Whether that signals a strengthening of the leaders' backbones, or translates into a tangible shift in policy, remains to be seen. But what is not controversial is that more and more Israelis have at long last lost faith in Oslo and see it for the disaster it has always been. They want Netanyahu to stop playing patty-cake with Kerry's "invented country," or Obama’s “moderate” Iran, and get on with the life and death business of destroying the Mullahs’ nuclear capabilities instead. df]

- Here's a "clue" fo you numbnuts: everyone 'gets' the message except you and your pals. It is NOT that you are part-black, it is precisely because you are pure-RED to the bone...and wrapped in the trappings of the Muslim Brotherhood, of course.

A Very Cold Reality

By Alan Caruba

It’s not as if those in the Northeast have not experienced bone-chilling cold or that it is predicted to extend from the Midwest down into our southern States. There may possibly be a snow storm that will require the National Football League to reschedule the Sunday, February 2^nd Superbowl at the MetLife stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Crews spent 18 hours working to remove the snow from last week’s storm.

A visit to IceAgeNow.info yielded headlines of news stories last week that included “Record Cold—Millions of Americans hit by Propane Shortage”, “Ice and Snow Closed Texas highways This Morning”, “Ice-cover Shuts Down Work on New Hudson River Bridge”, and so you understand this is a global phenomenon, “Kashmir—Heaviest January Snowfall in a Decade”, “Heavy Snowfall Sweeps Eastern Turkey”, “Romania—Heavy Snowfall and Blizzard”. And “Bangkok Suffers Coldest Night in Three Decades—Death Roll Mounts.”

Meteorologist Joe D’Aleo of WeatherBell Analytics and editor of http://www.icecap.us says that, as the President addresses the nation on Tuesday, every State will have freezing temperatures and parts or all of 27 States will be below zero.

All this is occurring as President Barack Obama is anticipated to talk about “climate change”, a warming Earth, during his Tuesday State of the Union speech. He will be speaking to the idiots who still think the Earth is warming because they are too stupid or lazy to ask why it is so cold.

Michael Bastasch, writing for The Daily Caller on Saturday, confirmed D’Aleo’s and other meteorologist’s forecasts. “The bitter cold that has hit the U.S. East Coast is expected throughout February, and on Jan 28—the day of the address—the Mid-Atlantic region is expected to be hit with freezing cold air that could drive temperatures below zero in big cities among the I-95 corridor.”

Washington, D.C. will be one of those cities, but as Bastasch reported, “Environmentalists and liberal groups are urging Obama to use the speech to reaffirm his commitment to fighting global warming. ‘President Obama should rank the battle against climate change as one of his top priorities in his State of the Union speech next week’, said Center for Clean Air Policy president Ned Heime.”

For environmentalists, it does not matter if the real climate is a deep cold. They committed to the lies about global warming in the late 1980s and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel and Climate Change (IPCC) has maintained the hoax ever since. Along the way we learned that the computer models on which it based its assertions and predictions were rigged and bogus, but that has not deterred the IPCC which is now referring to a “pause” in global warming. This is lying on a global scale.

It was the environmental group Greenpeace that put out a television advertisement featuring a Santa Claus telling children that he might have to call off Christmas because the North Pole was melting. How malicious can they get? When a group of global warming scientists and tourists took a ship to the Antarctic to measure the “melting” ice down there, the ship got caught in the ice which also resisted the efforts of two icebreaker ships to rescue them.

We are dealing with environmental groups, the IPCC and government leaders like Obama for whom the telling of huge and blatantly obvious lies about global warming is nothing compared to the billions generated by the hoax for the universities and scientists that line their pockets supporting it and industries that benefit by offering ways to capture carbon dioxide or conserve energy by first banning incandescent light bulbs.

The “pause” has lasted now for seventeen years and, as is the case with all climate on the Earth, the reason is the Sun.

A report published by CBN News noted that “The last time the sun was this quiet, North America and Europe suffered through a weather event from the 1600s to the 1800s known as ‘Little Ice Age’ when the Thames River in London regularly froze solid, and North America saw terrible winters. Crops failed and people starved.”

Jens Pedersen, a senior scientist at Denmark’s Technical University, said that climate scientists know the Earth stopped warming 15 years ago. But the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, of which Pedersen is an expert reviewer, suppressed a recent report from its own scientists that the U.N.’s climate model has been proven wrong.

“Global warming is nowhere to be found,” said David Deming, a geophysicist at the University of Colorado, in a January 16 commentary in The Washington Times. “As frigid conditions settled over the nation, global-warming alarmists went into full denial mode”, adding that “weather extremes also seem to bring out the lunatic fringe” and that is why the public is being told that cold weather has been caused by global warming!

Whatever the President has to say about “climate change” should be taken as just one more example of five years of lies to advance policies that have nothing to do with the welfare of Americans needing jobs or the execrable Obamacare attack on the U.S. healthcare system.

The cold reality may well be a Superbowl played on another day and a President for whom the truth is incidental to his shredding of the U.S. Constitution, the increase in the nation’s ever-growing debt, a lagging economy, and his intention to by-pass Congress rather than working with it.

That kind of thing will put a chill up any American’s spine if you think about it.
