Kimmel chokes up on air over
Cecil the lion
http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/29/entertainment/jimmy-kimmel-cecil-lion-feat/
-
Let’s all have a good cry for the demise
of:
The young deer in The
Yearling
The close-knit and loving
deer family in Bambi
Simba’s sorrow and
depression over the untimely death of Mufasa
-
Did Kimmel not see Old Yeller
Did Kimmel and friends not
see Out of Africa?
Has Kimmel and friends not watched
the Nature Channel on the Serengeti?
Has Kimmel not seen photos
of African Villagers killed by wild beasts?
Has Kimmel not seen photos
and video of starving African children?
-
Kimmel needs to toughen-up
and watch some real action films:
10 Brutal, Traumatizing Deaths
in Animated Films
http://www.mandatory.com/2015/03/25/10-brutal-traumatizing-deaths-in-animated-films/
-
He probably thinks veal is
some kind of veggie his vegan friends eat!
-
It’s interesting that Kimmel
and friends have not expressed their emotional distress over the vivid videos
and pictures of the Planned Parenthood gang describing in morbid detail the
harvesting and marketing of body parts from late-term abortions.

Swiss bank's donations to Clinton Foundation increased after
Hillary intervention in IRS dispute
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/07/30/ubs-donations-to-clinton-foundation-increased-after-hillary-intervention-in-irs/?intcmp=hpbt1
Donations to the Clinton Foundation by Swiss bank UBS
increased tenfold after Hillary Clinton intervened to settle a dispute with the
IRS early in her tenure as secretary of state, according to a published report.
-
According to the
Wall Street Journal, total donations by UBS to the
foundation grew from less than $60,000 at the end of 2008 to approximately
$600,000 by the end of 2014. The Journal reports that the bank also lent $32
million through entrepreneurship and inner-city loan programs it launched in
association with the foundation, while paying former President Bill Clinton
$1.5 million to participate in a series of corporate question-and-answer
sessions with UBS Chief Executive Bob McCann.
-
The old “quid pro quo” is alive and well in the
Clinton household!
-
No investigation here!
No FBI crawling-up their financial posteriors!
No indictments for malfeasance of accepting
massive amounts of “gifts” for doing “good” deeds for the givers!
-
We got Bob McDonnell – that’s what we needed to sink the
Republican Party in Virginia and get our
Democrat team into power just in time to ensure Virginia goes for Hillary in the next
election! Abuse of power works and it’s
convenient that Justice is Blind and we've got the Pravda Media in our back-pocket! And to complete this great story -- the Virginia TeaParty will tear the Virginia GOP apart and render them helpless. It doesn't get any better than this!

Roanoke Times, 7-29-2015, Pg Va 1, 8: Roanoke
students qualify for free school food:
Students at 19 Roanoke
schools could get free breakfast and lunch.
54% of students in Roanoke
qualify for federal benefits.
75% or more qualify.
In 19 schools, the proposal is for all the students to
receive free and reduced meals without any “paperwork” or justification.

All this is in-addition-to the significant government help
these families receive including child-welfare payments and food-stamps.

What a stark
indictment of the failure of the Democrat Team from Roanoke City Hall
up through Obama’s pathetic failed economic policies and practices.
Apparently, Obama’s pen and cell-phone and anti-business
Jihad’s aren’t helping the children of Roanoke!
Obama's just doing what neighborhood-organizers do -- and that clearly is not generating real JOB's!
-
Time for another flowery Roanoke Times series of articles
telling us how great Obama is and how things are really good; just don’t look
behind the curtain at the children.

-
At every opportunity Obama has marginalized and berated and inhibited private
enterprise and personal businesses and the jobs they produce and support.
Something about you reap what you sow!

-
the Left-wing Liberal Progressive Democrats have had enough!
They found one of their feathered friends on the California
Courts to issue an injunction against any more of these videos. Finding such a friendly Judge was clearly a
very easy task in California
where the 1st Amendment only applies to those things the
left-wingers wish to say, hear and see.

Obama calls GOP criticism of Iran deal 'ridiculous,' 'sad'

http://www.roanoke.com/news/wire_headlines/obama-calls-gop-criticism-of-iran-deal-ridiculous-sad/article_513548b0-8e10-5605-af82-b69255377f0a.html

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — President Barack Obama unleashed
a blistering and belittling rebuke of Republican White House hopefuls Monday,
calling their attack on his landmark nuclear deal with Iran
"ridiculous if it weren't so sad."
-
-
Obama’s so-called “nuclear deal” has rightfully been
referred to as equivalent to the Neville Chamberlain deal with Hitler that led
directly to World War II and the Holocaust.
-
The key elements of “The Deal” Obama does NOT want criticized include:
Iran does not accept Israel’s right
to exist.
Iran’s
government, at the highest levels, vows to “wipe Israel off the map”.
Iran
not committed to stopping their support of terrorism and terrorists.
Iran
retains full “right” to future development of
nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them.
Iran
rejects International Inspections of ALL facilities on a “any time, any place”
basis.
-
What could possibly go wrong with this "Deal" that no one is allowed to question?
-
In addition to accepting Iran’s nuclear weapons and
intercontinental missiles, The “Deal” does not address Nuclear Proliferation by
other countries developing defensive nuclear weapons and systems to counter the
expanding Iranian threat.
All this in stark contrast to Obama’s April 2009 anti-proliferation speech in Prague, Czech
Republic

The slavery hypocrisy of some
“Northerners” is astounding as loudly self-proclaimed by a group of Connecticut
Yankee Democrats and their limited and selective knowledge of history and the role
Connecticut played in that sad part of US and World History.
Who do these jerks think owned and manned the ships that went to Africa to buy, transport and then sell these poor people to the highest bidder?
Did these hypocrites not see "Amistad" and the role Connecticut played in that tragic reenactment.
-
I grew up in the mid-Hudson Valley of NY
where there were many slave owners during the 1700’s and early 1800’s. A slave woman from Old Hurley in Ulster County
who became a famous abolitionist was Sojourner Truth.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sojourner_Truth
There is a monument to her
memory in front of the Ulster County Court House so that “Ulster County
Northerners” will not forget the real history of slavery.

Democrats drop Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson
names from annual fundraising dinner
http://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Democrats-drop-Thomas-Jefferson-and-Andrew-6400544.php
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew
Jackson are history in Connecticut.
-
Under pressure from the
NAACP, the state Democratic
Party will scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual
fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.
-
Party leaders voted
unanimously Wednesday night in Hartford to
rename the Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in the aftermath of last month’s
fatal shooting of nine worshipers at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C.
The decision is believed to
be unprecedented and could prompt Democrats in other states with similarly
named events to follow suit.
“I see it as the right thing
to do,” Nick Balletto, the party’s first-year chairman, told Hearst Connecticut
Media on Wednesday night.
“I wasn’t looking to be a
trailblazer or set off a trend that’s going to affect the rest of the country.
Hopefully, they’ll follow suit when they see it’s the right thing to do.”

Randall Beach: Remember that slavery was woven into Connecticut’s fabric
http://www.nhregister.com/opinion/20141122/randall-beach-remember-that-slavery-was-woven-into-connecticuts-fabric
What Farrow had discovered,
long hidden away in the library’s archives, was documented evidence of Connecticut’s deep ties
to the profitable slave trade.
Three logbooks from ships
that sailed out of New London
in the mid-1700s.
The first ship was called
the Africa. It was aptly named.
-
The crew was bound for West
Africa to buy slaves and then sell them on England’s
colonial islands in the Caribbean. Some of the
“human cargo” probably stayed on board to be brought to Connecticut, where they were sold and owned
by residents here.
-
The brutality of slavery and its pervasiveness in Connecticut is a dark, deeply troubling subject. It’s not something people want to hear about in “the Nutmeg State.
” We like to delude ourselves into thinking slavery was “a Southern thing.”

SLAVERY in MASSACHUSETTS
Massachusetts was the first slave-holding colony in New England,
though the exact beginning of black slavery in what became Massachusetts cannot be dated exactly.
Slavery there is said to have predated the settlement of Massachusetts
Bay colony in 1629, and circumstantial evidence gives a date of
1624-1629 for the first slaves. "Samuel Maverick, apparently New England's
first slaveholder, arrived in Massachusetts
in 1624 and, according to [John Gorham] Palfrey, owned two Negroes before John
Winthrop, who later became governor of the colony, arrived in 1630."[1]

My ancestors were Vikings and they clearly were slaveholders, but in their defense, they took and held slaves of
all colors, genders, religions, and nationalities.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrall
-
To expand their current-day slavery protest these Connecticut
Democrats should publish a list of all those in Connecticut who were involved in slavery and all of their relatives and descendants and then pay reparations to all the descendants of the slaves involved in this dastardly Yankee slave-trade and ownership. Then they should stop using fuels from the North Sea of Norway and boycott Volvos from Sweden.
Would be a good start to clear their alleged conscience and far more meaningful than demeaning Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.

hypocrisy

In spite of the best efforts

negative consequences of Socialism and it’s psychology of dependency that leads

It’s difficult to realize

Kennedy highlighted these truths during his Presidency relative to the Soviet
Union, China and Cuba. Apparently most Americans were born since

Gift your guns or sell your guns before you go on Social

your guns.

-
If you are on Medicare (Social Security), your next visit to
“your” doctor will include a test (sometimes quite subtle) that delves into
your memory, level of anxiety, thoughts about “ending it all”, your mental
alertness, your financial processes and your gun ownership.
-
This information is obtained by “your” doctor who has now become
an agent of Obama’s medical-intelligence organization. The data will be retained in your digital
files and available to the Obama administration so that they can dispatch
agents to your home to confiscate your guns.
-
A confiscation process similar to this is already underway
in some states pursuant to the death of a gun owner. The state government gets reports from the corner that you have died and then uses
that data to confiscate your guns from your home.
Apparently your spouse or significant other is deemed to be
a risk to society even though they have had access to your guns during your
lifetime. They should by definition be
included in the 2nd amendment safeguards and clearly should have
“the right” to legally dispose of your guns as they see fit, as they may legally do
with all your other possessions.

Trump’s statements about
“most” of the Illegal Immigrants being bad people was totally over the top,
however, it resonated with a lot of people, including many TeaParty folks, who
are disgusted that this issue is not being properly managed by our
administration.
The latest example of this
malfeasance was the murder of Kate Steinle by an illegal immigrant who had been
deported five times for serious crimes.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-if-kate-steinle-worked-at-roanoke.html

It’s noteworthy to point out
that Obama has chosen to remain mute on this immigration case although he has
spoken at length about the police cases in Ferguson,
NYC and Baltimore. Apparently, it matters “whose life matters”.
