I hope they were not stowing their hookers in that UHaul. Today's SS is in over its head in lawless territories and failed city-states

It's not like there's great security at Y-12, either. This government is rotten. It can't protect its own property. I wonder how many armories could be liberated come the day.

Although truly snark-worthy (Creating demand for stimulus spending at the micro level anyone?), this theft comes out of my pocket via taxes, and makes me unhappy....

More than you want to think about. Of course, it depends on who gets there first.

...you got to know how to use them for the 'loot' to be effective. Being gun banners on their side of the aisle, I suspect their skills are somewhat limited to the usual 'spray and pray' as amply demonstrated recently by even the NYPD.

parked outside "a detroit hotel"...umm, I guess that's Secret Service speak for you know what...someone in D.C. is doing the face-palm and saying, "jeez, not this shit again..."

This time of the year in the simmering Texas heat, a straw Serratelli or other brand in the straw version is mandatory for the working cowboy. Felt hats such as the one Hussien is wearing in the picture is worn during the colder seasons. Occasionally worn during formal situations but a slacker like Barack doesn't know those things about Texas.
The Republican National Convention Texas delegation, a member of which is in this picture, had it right last week.

he wears that hat about as good as a fish rides a bicycle.
maybe his next gig he could attend a Star Trek Convention; Lord knows he already has the ears for it.....

AlanC,
Uh, no he doesn't. He and his guys don't have a clue regarding 'irony' or they wouldn't have made the sculpture in Charlotte out of sand. Another thought is 'All hat, no cattle'.

He's thick as a brick. Too much dagga in college.
After a week of bruising broadsides on President Obamas record by the GOP brass, Democrats have assembled a national convention this week in North Carolina they hope will give Obama a dynamic, prime-time opportunity to convince Americans he deserves another shot at running the county.
Yet Obama and party leaders open the event Monday with essentially the same challenge faced at smaller campaign stops across the country -- convincing Americans that the president can indeed fix the economy and restore middle-class opportunity amid high unemployment, crushing debt and wavering support from unions and congressional Democrats.

It will be interesting to see what the ratings are for the Dem convention vs Tampa. The people who are more likely to have "cut the cord" from cable services are also those more likely to be Democrats. Comcast, for example, has lost about 3 million subscribers since 2009.

I watched the opening remarks of a panel on cspan this morning. Oh, six to eight panelists laying the basic framworking of the conventions reason to be.
Nothing new...voter id, racial inequality, so forth. I did note some of the ironies. One of the the tarhealed eggheads seemed genuine about whats what, though that was likely his spot in the relay team and he tended to talk about the south instead of just North Carolina. Unemployment is a full percent above national, industry hard hit, workforce undereducated, government not doing enough. Next relay speaker started with North Carolina is in the unique position of being under total democrat control for the last twelve years. It was odd, as another speaker hinted that voter id will appear in NC because of the radical supreme court.
Overall it was a bunch of chapel hill life long acedemics highlighted by the one who was apparently the only person to notice that perhaps that conference should not have been held at 11:30 on Sunday. This is the billiance people in Alabama and Texas should view, as they self proclaimed themselves masters of all issues southern.
For instance they cannot seem to grasp why so many southerners do not favor the ACA, except that you are uneducated. No, what was the term, requiring post-secondary-education. So shorten their conclusion, the problem with Texas is its full of Texans.
Aesthetically, bunch of know it alls failing conversational English. Knowledge drops, well they seemed baffled at the reasons why a Bangladesh and a North Carolinian are so far off $/hour wise; everything was retreaded grief lyrics.
*PS I did giggle at the Mount Moredebt sand sculpture, not because of its gaudi-ness but "Inconceivable! There is no wind in Liberal Land!"

DNC central theme = blame the last 3 1/2 yrs of idiotic policies and abject failures on a guy that left office 3 1/2 yrs ago (because that's what real men ought to do)
Obama and the rest of his ilk are total pussies. As we say in the mil - after you've been there a month - you own it. Blaming your predecessor a yr after they're gone is the height of bitchy un-manliness (no offense to the ladies). It's all about political power and none of these hacks can own their f*ckups.

Ah, so soon. He will live beyond his means. I have said that he will be broke in a few short years. Why change when your spending other peoples money.
Hawaii is one of the most expensive places to live.
Just imagine his security costs alone.

Reading deeper into the details of the house (I do like looking at houses), it has a 1,926 sq ft guest house.
Probably, like the Clintons and Biden, The One will charge the Secret Service somewhere in the neighbor of $10,000 a month for rent. Might cover their electric bill.

Links are very interesting. The story of his life. Why work if everything is handed to you. Michael will have to live down on the farm. I wonder how long that will last. Club gitmo in Hawaii. She could pull a Hillary. Go her merry way. Lights cameras action. Lets get ready to rummmmmble!.
To be fair, most Presidents have acquired a house prior to the end of their final term, usually paid for by collecting money from friends, political allies, and past political donors.
If the various news sources are to be believed, it's a bit different this time around, because the fundraising is a tad less... enthusiastic.
#17
He will make fabulous amounts of money on speaking tours and no doubt writing a book or two. I also suspect he will inject himself into politics at every opportunity until the left is more than sick of him (especially as he will have cost them everything after their massive tidalwave in 2008).
#18
I don't expect he'll make all that much on the speaking tour. We've all heard that BS, he has no coat-tails, and he's refused to kick down $ same old shit

How much does the Secretary General of the UN make?
Can we now make Hawaii the official state residence of this man, not Illinois or Kansas.
THE White House has released the recipe for two home-made beers in attempt to cement President Obama''s regular guy appeal ahead of November''s election.
White House Honey Brown Ale, believed to be the first beer brewed on the White House grounds, includes light malt extract, amber crystal malt, honey, gypsum, yeast and corn sugar.
The recipe was released on Saturday while President Barack Obama was campaigning in Iowa.
Mr Obama has been talking about the White House brew for weeks, but he and other officials had refused to disclose details of how it''s made, despite an online petition and repeated questions from reporters.
Mr Obama even took a question on the beer recipe during a chat with the website Reddit.
Mr Obama and his team frequently talk about the president''s fondness for beer, and Mr Obama has been photographed many times downing a beer, including an appearance at the Iowa State Fair last month.
Being identified as a beer drinker is an easy way for Mr Obama to connect with voters and serves as a not-so-subtle reminder that his Republican rival Mitt Romney, a Mormon, doesn''t drink.
Mr Obama even held a "beer summit" after a white police sergeant arrested black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates as he tried to get into his own home.

Sorry folks, if he has enough time to experiment with beer recipes, he's doing too much of that and not enough of what he's supposed to be doing (but we knew that already).

My goodness Darth. Thank you for that information. Very interesting. Just wanted to mention that they are checking for mold as this has been a terrible growing year.

High five Darth; and you are right - but not for a blue collar or cowboy either. Reads like Zima Dark. Is it served with a carrot? Perhaps a pinkie crutch and a pastry?
Perhaps now the White House staff can play beer pong at home - saves the hassle of the three two flu.
(I realized there may be some who do not know of the three two flu. There are places in this country where alcoholic beverages served are limited to a certain alcohol content 3.2%. Well for people who drink real beer, are familiar with beer, and/or get caught up in a masters game of darts come to issues. First that night a person can find themselves literally full after a sip, so foam comes out the mouth. Secondly and not so much folklore as legend the resulting feelings in the a.m. tend to have a different and stronger negative as well as disruption to the normal intestinal activities, or as connected to teh president beer drinkin folks, its like a hangover with your finger in an outlet, sh^^ting all day long. Hence, the three two flu).
[LA Times] A Caliphornia Democratic Party official was hospitalized early Sunday morning, and another who allegedly falsely claimed to be a member of Congress was threatened with arrest in connection with a disturbance in the lobby of the delegation's hotel.
The man who was hospitalized was seen being carried from a taxi into the Blake Hotel shortly before 2 a.m., when he either fell or was dropped in the lobby, leading hotel staff to grow concerned about a head injury. As he lay unconscious on the floor, hotel employees called 911, checked vital signs and stabilized his body until paramedics arrived, strapped him to a board and took him to a hospital by ambulance.
"Often times at conventions, people who have not seen each other for a long time gather and sometimes people have too much to drink," said party front man Tenoch Flores. "That appears to have been the case here and we're gathering more information."
Information about the man's condition was unavailable Sunday afternoon.
The other party official, also a delegate, tried to intervene when hotel staff called the paramedics, arguing that the unconscious man had merely had too much to drink and ought to be put to bed. When he tried to physically move the man's body, hotel staff called the police.
When officers arrived, the man allegedly claimed to be a member of Congress at least twice, before stating repeatedly that he was a state party official. Police threatened to arrest him when he refused to provide identification, and hotel staff threatened to kick him off the property. He later apologized and was allowed to remain for the remainder of the night, with staff planning to contact state party officials Sunday to discuss whether he would be allowed to complete the remainder of his stay.

Another case of 'Southern Hospitality' gone bad (at least in my opinion). If he had been a local miscreant they'd have had his ass in the slammer, conveniently located just a couple of blocks away, in a jiffy. Any local found in that condition would have woken up chained to the bed in the hospital.

I call bull...there is no way in the world to say they are anything other than who they are unless the police asked for photo id.
[National Journal] Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley of Maryland, who is considered a possible contender for president in 2016, bucked other Obama surrogates on Sunday, saying that the country was not better off now than it was four years ago.
On CBS's Face the Nation, host Bob Schieffer asked: "Can you honestly say that people are better off today than they were four years ago?"
Responded O'Malley: "No, but that's not the question of this election. The question, without a doubt, we are not as well off as we were before George Bush brought us the Bush job losses, the Bush recession, the Bush deficits, the series of desert wars -- charged for the first time to credit cards, the national credit card."
Quipped Schieffer: "George Bush is not on the ballots."

When he was first elected I had warned people to hold on to your wallets. When he gets elected the first thing he does is pass some sort of tax for Maryland residents. Should he run for president as I am certain he wants to, he will create some new tax within his fist two weeks in office. He always has good reasons to raise taxes.

Squeezed 40% out of each household. Clint was right, the only one doing better is Carter because he's now the second worst president ever, not the worst.

Yes. The quick snotty tweet (twit?) shows absolutely nothing about somebody riveted to the program and feeling the need to share a feeling and response. Sure thing there dear.
#5
Speaking of Hollywood. Saw 2016 today and two of the trailers intrigued me. Not the Clint one which looked good. But there was one about School choice/vouchers with a liberal cast. Also it looks like the Bin Laden film is coming out after the election.
Couldn't help but wonder if the Seals talking up now has spoiled the narrative on that last one.
Norris and his wife, Gena, have filmed a public service announcement, unveiled exclusively at WND, wherein the two urge Christians to help save the country in November.
"We are here to talk about a growing concern we all share," Chuck Norris explains. "If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack. We're at a tipping point and, quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don't change the course in which our country is headed."
Gena warns that voter apathy among evangelicals in 2008 may have contributed to Obama's election in the first place.
"With our country at a crossroads, Chuck and I have asked ourselves what we can be doing to help support this great country we're blessed to live in and how we can encourage our like-minded American brothers and sisters to unite and let their voices be heard," she said. "It is estimated that in the 2008 election, 30 million evangelical Christians stayed home on voting day and Obama won the election by 10 million votes."
Chuck cautions Christians about the cost of doing nothing while the nation spirals into a state of socialism from which there will be no return.
He was a six-time undefeated World Professional MiddleWeight Karate Champion. He was also a renowned teacher in the martial arts, with celebrity students including Steve McQueen, Bob Barker, Priscilla Presley and Donnie and Marie Osmond.
He has gone on to found the United Fighting Arts Federation with more than 2,300 black belts all over the world. In 1997, Norris achieved another milestone in his life by being the first man ever in the Western Hemisphere to be awarded an eighth-degree Black Belt Grand Master recognition in the Tae Kwon Do system. This was a first in 4,500 years of tradition.

The USA is already past its tipping point. Whatever it will turn into next will be subject to a lot of crying, screaming and foot-dragging. Joe Biden may even be reduced to pulling out his hair by the plugs.
#3
"and how we can encourage our like-minded American brothers and sisters to unite and let their voices be heard ..."
Possibly by buying their latest piece of gym equipment that let's you do sit-ups, bench presses, curls, and pullups - all while holding a cold beer??? Hahahahahaha!!!
#4
I don't think the tipping point is past. I think if the next president can get the economy surging everything can be reversed. I also think Obama and Liberals will try to take credit for it.
#5
I very much doubt anyone can get the economy 'surging.' There are many ways to mitigate the ongoing disaster though, virtually none of which the incumbent has, is, or ever will be doing.
#6
I suspect there is a lot of hiring and capital that has been held close because of the current conditions. A new administration and the right initial moves could go a long way towards setting things back right. Perhaps surging sounds more grand than I intended but compared to the trickle we currently have. Anyway the housing market is another story but I don't think the rest of the economy is as tied up in that now as it was.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
