Quote of the Day - Obama

“It don’t make no sense… We need to strengthen the middle class for the 21st century. That means we need leaders from the 21st century who actually believe women should get paid the same as men.”

~ President Obama

While in Wisconsin at a rally for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke he made the above statement using double negatives. Is that how they speak out there?  Obama, who is the ideological scion of failed 20th century ideologues, pays female White House staffers less than their male counterparts. That may also explain how Obama fell under the misapprehension that all — or even most — women vote the way they’re told to by men."  Read more... at Personal Liberty.

What I worry about the most in this mid-term election is voter fraud.

Now, who is a coward? It isn't Israel

Now tell me, which one looks like a coward or chicken chit?

“The United States administration is planning to throw Israel under the bus,” Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday night, responding to harsh words against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu which were attributed to senior officials in the Obama administration.

“Israel is stronger than all those who curse it,” said Bennett, after Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic quoted officials in Washington as having described Netanyahu as “chickens**t”, among other things.

Halloween Masks

Most polls have these two neck and neck. The latest Quinnipiac poll has Charlie slightly ahead. That's about as scary as these masks.

Moms and Apple Pie aren't what they're cracked up to be - PB County School Board Race

Comment Up

The School Board race in Palm Beach County is usually innocuous but the race for District 4 just became nasty. Who would think that a non-partisan race for a school board seat would turn into ugly politics with smears and lies from such a sweet looking mom.

I received the Whitfield flyer in the mail. It was produced by Fact Check Florida Electioneering Committee out of Jacksonville (Click here) so that she can distance herself from the attacks on her opponent that charged some of his contributors with no accountability, some anti homosexual agenda (she is attempting to get the large GLBT vote here)  and school vouchers...dirty pool. By stating that she is a Democrat, her campaign is capitalizing on the majority of registered Democrats in Palm Beach County to bring her campaign over the top. Even though Democrats are losing in opinion polls because of trust issues, her flyer states that she is "A Democrat We can Trust" and then proceeds to personally attack her opponent, Tom Sutterfield, because of some contributors.

Ms. Whitfield has received money from the usual suspects in Lake Worth that show up in every campaign, many against the best interests of our city...illegal banners and all. You know who they are without my even mentioning their names. Most of our city commissioners donated and Maxwell gave in the name of his company. They support development at any cost. Even Jeff Clemens has contributed to her campaign along with his PAC. There are land developers, builders, contractors, lawyers, plumbers, and engineering companies along with Associated Builders.

You have to wonder why this race is attracting so much money to Whitfield's campaign. Does the School Board Budget of $2,315,232,281 for 2015 have anything at all to do with it or the possibility of building new schools that might come up for consideration? The person who gets elected will be voting on multi-million dollar construction projects in addition to million dollar R and R projects, so would these contributors have her ear to influence her selection?

Whitfield to date: $50,241,33
Sutterfield to date: $33,166.95.

Why make a non-partisan race partisan? Some people resort to this type of tactic when the race is close or when they are losing and then have a PAC do the dirty work for them. This is not a good example for kids especially when your only credential is being a Mom and you choose to vilify your opponent by attempting to destroy his integrity.

School is all about teaching the Three R's...reading, writing and arithmetic as well as what's right and wrong.  Even her flyer got the District she is running for wrong.

Who can you trust to get it right?

Tom Sutterfield for District 4.

Cold war with Russia?

Whitehouse hacked...Read about it at CNN Money and see the video.

In August, Russians hacked into four American banks.  According to Bloomberg, "At least one of the banks has linked the breach to Russian state-sponsored hackers. The FBI is investigating whether the attack could have been in retaliation for U.S.-imposed sanctions on Russia, said the second person, who also asked not to be identified, citing the continuing investigation."  Who cares whether it was retaliation or not?  Prevent it.

Why in the hell, with all of our technology and expertise, the technology field can't come up with a solution to what Russians are considering nothing more than a "moral" crime only.  If the government wants to protect this country and its citizens, it needs to strengthen our defenses and do it now.

In the meantime, advice from CBS Money Watch:

• Never leave a router on its default password.
• Never trust free, third-party free WiFi hotspots. Consider using a service to protect your devices and what you transmit. One free service to consider using when you're out and about is Hotspot Shield.
• If you're using a website to conduct a financial transaction, be sure you see a padlock icon and "https" before the URL. That indicates the site is secure.
• Be sure you keep your antivirus, browser and operating system updated. If you don't, you run the risk of both getting viruses and having a thief who uses a keylogger track your keystrokes, potentially capturing your passwords.
• Never click on links in emails, even if it's supposedly from your bank.
• Use two-step verification for email, social networking and any other account that offers it. That involves typing in a password that gets texted to you for one-time use.
• Use a password manager to help you create more secure passwords and organize them so you don't have to remember them.

The Rule of Obama's Law

Obama has ordered the secret construction of FEMA camps all over the country and he’s told his minions to do it as quietly as possible.  These FEMA camp’s may have the appearance of a helpful establishment placed there in preparation for a time of need (i.e. natural disaster), but look a little closer and you may see otherwise.

And then you have to wonder what is really going on with his idea of bringing Ebola patients to this country?

The U.S. thinking about accepting Ebola patients from West Africa for treatment

Comment Up

You have to wonder at this point, if you haven't considered it before, this administration is just plain freakin crazy. These liberal left-wing do-gooders will end up killing us all.

Yesterday Fox News reported that it had obtained a State Department memo that confirms a report of October 17 from Judicial Watch, saying the same thing. Obama is considering a plan to transfer Ebola patients to the U.S. for treatment.

Palm Beach Post responds to the Lake Worth Herald Editorial

Comment Up

The Palm Beach Post comments on Mark Easton's editorial of October 23 in the Lake Worth Herald...which was offensive in more ways than one. I haven't written about it as it was just so shocking and inflammatory.

The part of the editorial that was totally appalling was not so much against Guatemalans as it was against former commissioner Cara Jennings and "company." He suggested that they take up hygiene and culture adaptation. He was offended that anyone would protest the sacred PBSO. He made disgusting snide remarks in general. He made all sorts of assumptions to which he has no knowledge saying that they (Cara Jennings and friends) don't approve of life in a clean, safe society and would prefer communal living and should move out of Lake Worth and leave us all alone. How ridiculous is that? Easton believes they have no right to challenge the PBSO.  Well, why not?  Jack Scarola has.  I am rather certain that he doesn't fit into the "loser" mold of Mr. Easton's.

As far as the Guatemalan Maya Center, I do agree that they should be teaching these immigrants our culture and helping them to assimilate.  Learning English is a requisite to finding a good job.  Actually, obeying the laws in general would be helpful and teaching them how to immigrate legally so that the stigma of being "illegal" can be lifted and we no longer have to be politically correct by calling them "undocumented."

Town Manager Peter Elwell to leave Palm Beach

I guess home is where the heart is.

The town manager of Palm Beach is giving up sand in his shoes and a generous salary of $220,000 a year, for maple syrup. He is taking the town manager job in Brattleboro, Vermont making $95,000 a year, a town where his father was once the city manager. Brattleboro is the oldest town in the state and does not border the Atlantic Ocean.  Ahh, sometimes that quiet life is a treat but then Vermont also has Bernie Sanders.

U.S. responsible for Ebola outbreak?

Here's an article that gives one hell of a charge--that the U.S. is responsible for the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. "Dr. Cyril Broderick, A Liberian scientist and a former professor of Plant Pathology at the University of Liberia’s College of Agriculture and Forestry says the West, particularly the U.S. is responsible for the Ebola outbreak in West Africa." The author poses this question--"Is it possible that the United States Department of Defense (DOD) and other Western countries are directly responsible for infecting Africans with the Ebola virus?"

Professor Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois, College of Law questions the Obama administration’s actions in West Africa.
