Obama's Greatest Legacy to America

Perhaps once in several generations, our country is blessed to have a leader of the unsurpassed caliber of Barack Hussein Obama.  I use the man's middle name only because he insisted on using it when he was sworn into office, and not because of it's Islamic roots).  But back to my original point.  Our great nation has been blessed to have as it's leader for the past 8 years a man with the character and forward looking vision of Barack Obama.  Apparently, like most presidents, Barack has been concerned these last few years of his administration about his legacy.  That one thing he will leave to the nation, that will be uniquely related to him for eternity.  One just might say, it was the fact he was the nations first black president (let's qualify that---first half white president), but then he had little to do with that.  Just an accident of birth!  On the other hand his greatest legacy just might be the ACA (better known as ObamaCare), but then it seems this infamous act of Congress, will soon fall by the wayside.  So at this point in time, what "Obama caused event", can the soon to be ex-president, hang his hat on?  What can the man who coined the phrase "Hope and Change" leave to those Americans desperately clinging to their 'guns and Bibles' on one hand and their 'pacifiers and safe-spaces' on the other. 

What will be that one crowning event, that historians, a thousands years from now, will look back at with awe?  The answer is quite simple.  More than any law he signed, more than any executive order he penned,  more than any speech,  the one thing that will live in infamy will be the part Barack played in putting the face of Donald J. Trump on Mount Rushmore! 

Obama believes Democrats lost because Bars have FOX News on TV

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine President "O-blame-someone-else" said Democrats lost the recent election because FOX News was playing in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country.  There is little doubt that Obama honestly believes that this was part of the reason for the thumping his party took in November.  After all, in his mind; he sees racists, misogynists, xenophobes, ignoramuses, gun nuts and religious fanatics glued to their bar stools sipping on a cold Budweiser while transfixed on the tavern TV tuned to FOX News completely oblivious to the words of truth coming from  White House spokesman, Josh Earnest.     

Mexican Government and Taco Vendors sueing Trump for income losses in Monterrey

Carrier Air-conditioning has announced it has reached an agreement with Donald Trump that would keep 1000 manufacturing jobs in Indiana and not open a proposed plant in Monterrey, Mexico.  However, it seems that the Mexican government will not go quietly into the night.  Moves are already underway to sue Donald Trump for his complicity in this debacle.  The Mexican government claims this man-made disaster will not only cost some 1000 Mexicans promised jobs, but will result in untold hardships for the many taco vendors planning to open stands around what would have been the future home of Carrier Inc. in Monterrey.  Additionally, it has been learned that the government there has begun a stealth operation that would help those adversely  effected by this Trumpian move, to sneak across the U.S. southern border to seek compensation for their grievous losses in the form of American welfare and food stamps.  Damn!  Just one more reason to built the WALL!!!!    

Fidel Castro's recent death linked to election of Donald Trump as President.

Informed sources close to the recent Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro have confirmed that the country's revolutionary leader's health, which had been declining, took a sharp turn for the worse upon his learning of the Trump victory over Hillary Clinton.  Those who were in daily contact with Fidel told a confidential source that had tried to shield him from the terrible news of the Trump victory knowing it could very well be a death blow to their beloved leader.  They were unsuccessful!  Donald Trump hasn't even taken office, but has already saved the jobs of hundreds at the Carrier Plant in Indiana and must also be given credit for ending Fidel's disgusting cigar smoking habit.

The Confessions of a young Fidel Castro supporter

This week as many on the left mourn the passing of Fidel Castro, the memories of the Revolution flood my mind.  I was a young man in 1957, a recent high school graduate and by the standards of that period a true progressive.  Even in those days, just as now, I was a news junkie and watched one of the only three networks each evening.  They were 15 minutes in length in those days.  Of course, the airways were filled with the news of the Cuban Revolution and Castro's effort to overthrown the hated Cuban dictator, Fulgencio Batista.  Castro was viewed by the media and millions of Americans, including myself as a great revolutionary leader who would free that island nation from the oppressive corruption of an evil tyrant.  But now, history has shown us the cure was worse than the disease.

Yes, as a dedicated believer in that liberal promised Utopian world I wanted to be a part of the Revolution and join Castro on his protracted march to Havana.  But unfortunately, the young ladies of Amite County, Mississippi had other plans for this dashing young fellow with a 1950 Nash Statesman, which had seats that folded back to make a great bed.  So the Revolution  and Castro had to wait.  As the years passed my youthful idealism passed and slowed vanished into reality.  Sometime I wonder what it would have been like to march into Havana with that rag-tag band of conquering heroes (that "Band of Angels" as most saw them) to the cheers of the people.  I suppose for Castro and the young fighters with him their dream had been realized and they did indeed embrace, for the moment, that mythical Utopia!  But a Utopia that would vanish as quickly as a fart in the wind once reality had set in.  When I think of what might have been it is quite sickening...but then I suppose this is the ultimate fate of all revolutions which are begun with the best of intentions. Intentions that are doomed to fail because men are men and not gods. 

However, it must be noted that just as there was Fidel and Che there was Washington and Jefferson.  So perhaps the evil is not in the man but in the ideology---but then it was man that spawned the ideology.  Hell, it's above my pay grade!  I give up!  Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Perhaps the best known song of revolutionary Cuba, Guantanamera.  I must say, I still get nostalgic when I hear this haunting song.

Wisconsin Recount: The Democrats are trying to put a square peg in a round hole

A recount in the Wisconsin 2016 presidential election with soon be underway.  A recount, that most agree, will not change the outcome.  Yet Democrats seemed determined to engage in this pointless, unrewarding, and futile task.  They are, in a real sense, trying to put that proverbial square peg in a round hole.  The sheer madness of shutting the barn door after the horse has escaped,  will ultimately produce an unrewarding experience akin to that of modern man trying to duplicate the lost ancient Chinese art of stacking greased BB's.  In short, the Democrats are planting are planting what will be a fruitless tree.  But then one should expect little else from the party that gave us the Affordable Care Act (ACA) better known as Obamacare.  And the party who gave us that great orator---a man who arrived on our shores atop his Hawaiian surfboard, or just maybe a interloper who came just one one step ahead of a Kenyan lion.

NOTE:  ONE HAS TO WONDER IF THE BALLOT BOXES FROM THE OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC PRECINCTS IN THE MILWAUKEE AREA ARE UNDER LOCK AND KEY OR WILL THEY BE THE SUBJECT OF TAMPERING BY THOSE SEEKING TO SUBVERT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.  AFTER ALL WE ALL KNOW THESE AREAS HAVE MORE, FAR MORE, THAN THEIR FAIR SHARE OF CROOKS.        

Knife-wielding Islamic Somali Refugee attacks students at Ohio State University

Today on the campus Ohio State University in Columbus a knife-wielding Islamic Somali refugee after driving his vehicle into a crowd of students jumped out knife in hand and proceeded to slash at fleeing students.  Isn't it quite amazing that those who represent only a small fraction of the many religious groups in our great nation seem to be the ones bent on killing anyone who believes differently.  As of this time the motive of the 18 year old attacker remains a mystery according to those in the main stream media.   But then, do we really need them to tell us his motive?  Hell, it was simple, just kill the infidel!  More about this terrorist is just being revealed---this Islamic Jihadist was named Abdul Artan, born in Somali and later moved to Pakistan and came to this country in 2014 and given legal permanent resident status by Obama's State Department.  Little wonder, Trump won the election.   

THIS ABOUT SAYS IT ALL!

Fidel's final Cigar Butt to be enshrined at the Museum of the Revolution in Havana

Following the recent death of their beloved "Father of the Revolution", Fidel Castro, the Cuban government has announced that doctors foreseeing this day of lamentation,  had saved the world's most famous cigar smoker's final butt for posterity.  The butt, that of a Cohiba Coronas Especiales Laguito No.2, (once made at a secret location due to fears that the CIA was planning the assassination of Fidel via a poisonous or exploding stogie) will be given a place of honor at the Museum of the Revolution in Havana.  There, the "butt" will be on display with all the other assholes of the communist revolution.

Fidel Castro, man behind the assassination of JFK dies at age 90

Fidel Castro is dead at age of 90.  Former Cuban dictator, Castro the western hemisphere's first communist leader is now history.  Fidel assumed power following the Cuban Revolution in 1959, and immediately began eliminating his enemies via prison and the firing squads.  A failed attempt was made to over-throw the communist dictator by counter-revolutionary forces sponsored by the CIA in April 1961.  The coup failed because then U.S. President John Kennedy refused to provide air cover that had been promised to the 1400 men of the Democratic Revolutionary Front who had landed on Cuban beaches at the Bay of Pigs. 

The weakness shown by President John Kennedy in 1961, would lead Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev to believe he could move Russian R-12 MRBN, nuclear tipped missiles to that communist island in October 1962.  A action that was soon reversed during what was known as the Cuban Missile Crisis.   It was the perceived weakness of the American President that lead to the stand off between the Cold War enemies--the USA and the USSR.  A stand off, that for a short while brought the world to the brink of WWIII.  Fortunately an accommodation was reached between the two super powers with the Russians removing their missiles from Cuba and later the United States removing their ICBM's from Turkey. 

Castro, never forgave Kennedy nor Khrushchev for this back-handed slap in the face of his authority and many believe that Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK assassin, who was a devout communist and a Castro supporter was either inspired by his love for the cigar smoking commie dictator or maybe encouraged by agents of the Cuban state to pull the trigger that fateful day in Dallas, Texas.  Today, a day that is being celebrated by thousands of free Cubans in Miami's "Little Havana" the final chapter in the life of Fidel Castro has been written with his death.

Green Party contest Election 2016 outcome and calls for Vote Recount in states of MI, PA, and WI

Green Party candidate, Jill Stein has raised almost $3 million dollars to contest the outcome of the 2016 election results in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Apparently some computer experts have claimed voting irregularities in counties using voting machines, implying the machines were possibly hacked.  It should be noted that the Green Party got almost 1% of the votes cast in each of the contested states.  Perhaps those in the Party believe they will be able to pick up an additional 50% of the total vote cast in one or more of these three states---in other words millions and millions of votes.  I have always thought those in the Green Party were a little nutty--now my suspicions have been proven correct.  But then one could speculate that Miss Stein's motives are somewhat darker.  After all the margins in these 3 blue-wall states between Trump and Hillary Clinton was indeed very small.  This makes me wonder where Jill got the $3 million to contest the vote.  How do you say, "Clinton Campaign"!  This is little more than a last ditch futile effort by progressives to steal the election from Trump.  And effort, that will fail---like all before!
