*******MY E-MAIL HAS BEEN HACKED BY A CRIMINAL
IF YOU GOT A RIDICULOUS MESSAGE FROM ME, APOLOGIES******


ADDENDUM RE HACKING:

    The criminal who hacked my computer to send out bogus e-mails also trashed many of my resources for preparing the daily blog. Contacts and hundreds of pieces of information were held by my Yahoo e-mail account. Everything in it before the hacking took place Wednesday morning is gone.
    My I.T. friend Mark tells me the hacking originated, as so many episodes to, in Nigeria. It apparently had nothing to do with my political commentary; just another criminal scam.
    If you've had any similar experience and had any success in restoring lost material, I'd very much appreciate your suggestions.


AMERICA'S EPITAPH ...
PREPARE FOR GRIM TIMES ...
OBAMA'S IRAN CONNECTION

The most benign summary of the events of yesterday came from William Shakespeare a few hundred years ago in "Macbeth": "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
     Despite the billions of words and dollars expended, nothing about the structure of the government changed. Congress is still divided, with Republicans holding a House majority that can, if it holds its nerve, stifle some of Obama's Marxist excesses.
    Those with some knowledge of historical references will see in Obama's victory a realization of the words attributed (correctly or not) to an 18th Century Scotsman named Alexander Tytler:
     "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
    * From bondage to spiritual faith;
    * From spiritual faith to great courage;
    * From courage to liberty;
    * From liberty to abundance;
    * From abundance to selfishness;
    * From selfishness to complacency;
    * From complacency to apathy;
    * From apathy to dependence;
    * From dependence back into bondage."

There is no longer doubt that this nation has reached the tipping point predicted by many of us. The point at which half the population pays no income taxes and basically lives off the work and income of people whose earnings are expropriated by a corrupt government.

A majority of voters demonstrated yesterday that they prefer the honeyed lies of a man whose personal history and governing practices are a patchwork of falsehoods and whose administration of the nation's affairs is manifestly a failure.

The America that was ... is gone. Probably irretrievably, as the culture of dependency continues to grow. Welcome to the USSA -- the United Socialist States of America. Or, as some have already succinctly put it, "USA ... RIP."

Diamonds among the ashes ...
     Republicans won six governorships. There are now 29 Republican governors to 20 Democrats with one so-called "independent" -- i.e., a Democrat in drag.

- - - - -

Both of the idiot Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate in Missouri and Indiana ... the dopes who babbled about rape ... predictably were slaughtered at the ballot boxes yesterday. Nominate morons and the results are a foregone conclusion.

- - - - -

I now give you your Republican nominee in 2016. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.
Who knows? He might get lucky and draw that idiot, Joe Biden, as an opponent!

- - - - -

What to watch closely over the next four years: Any vacancies on the U.S. Supreme Court. One more liberal and the Constitution becomes wastepaper.

- - - - -

Bill Clinton, perjurer, contributed the laugh-line of the entire campaign: "Who wants a president who will knowingly, repeatedly, tell you something you know isn't true?"
     We now know the answer. More than half of American voters.

- - - - -

After the triumph of the ultra-left in the election, media-manipulated as it was, I can offer only this about the times to come: Gather your own resources, plan your own future in anticipation of a major outburst of inflation ... and before the opportunity is foreclosed -- and it WILL happen -- arm yourself, as many Americans are already doing.
     Weapons sales have grown exponentially at gun stores for months as the realization has spread that Obama and his Marxist/racist Attorney General are the most determined gun-grabbers in our political history. A disarmed citizenry is one of their major goals. Our Muslim/Marxist president has effectively given a green-light to his hordes: Americans with accumulated savings and property are fair game.
     Just hope that the Pentagon has not been totally occupied by political generals and admirals.

Anybody surprised that New Black Panthers, menacing white voters with clubs, were back at Philadelphia voting places yesterday? After all, this is the street gang that did the same thing in the previous national election and Obama's racist Attorney General, Comrade Eric Holder, refused to prosecute them for it.

Few things are more boring than election-day (not necessarily election-night) television. The "news" coverage consists almost exclusively of (A) spinmeisters lying their little hearts out for their chosen side and (B) interviews with voters that prove nothing and undermine whatever news value that may be found in so-called "anecdotal evidence." It would be more accurately described as "anecdotal bull-bleep."

- - - - -

Regardless of the election outcome, one thing Republicans should remember from the campaign: Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey is never to be trusted. He's a double-agent, a stooge.

- - - - -

Small examples of the Democrat mentality at work: Jesse Jackson, Jr., still undergoing treatment for a mental disturbance and under an ethical cloud the size of Montana, won re-election to the House from Chicago. Elizabeth Warren, the lying fake Indian with ethical problems of her own, easily won the Massachusetts Senate seat.

Thomas Sowell reminds us of what's been lost as a result of Obama ...
     "You do not have a self-governing people when 'czars' are created by Executive Orders, so that individuals wielding vast powers equal to, or greater than, the powers of Cabinet members do not have to be vetted and confirmed by the people's elected representatives in the Senate, as Cabinet members must be.
     "You do not have a self-governing people when decisions to take military action are referred to the United Nations and the Arab League, but not to the Congress of the United States, elected by the American people, whose blood and treasure are squandered.
     "You do not have a self-governing people when ... unelected officials of the Federal Reserve System can create its own money out of thin air, instead of being financed by appropriations voted by elected members of Congress who have to justify their priorities and trade-offs to the taxpaying public.
     "You do not have a self-governing people when laws passed by the Congress, signed by previous Presidents, and approved by the federal courts, can have the current President waive whatever sections he does not like, and refuse to enforce those sections, despite his oath to see that the laws are faithfully executed." (Immigration laws being an example. -- Ed.)

Reliable reports continue to surface; reports that Iranian-born Valerie Jarrett, Obama's closest advisor, has been engaged in secret talks with Iran that may lead to a post-election deal that will allow Iran to continue pursuit of nuclear weapons with Obama's approval, provided certain "promises" are made.
     I leave it to you to decide just how much Iranian promises are worth.

Supreme Court Justice Scalia on the difficulty to restoring constitutional law after four years of Obama ...    
     “You know, people used to say when they don’t like something that’s going on, they say: 'There ought to be a law,' said Scalia. 
     “'People don’t say that anymore. They say, ‘It’s unconstitutional,’ if they really feel passionately about it. And it is even more seductive to judges. It’s a wonderful thing to have a constitutional case and you’re always happy with the result because it means exactly what you think it ought to mean.” -- CNS News

Makes you proud to be a taxpayer ...
     Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joyfully announces that $900,000 of U.S. taxpayer money is being given to help women start businesses ... in Peru and El Salvador.

Reader Sheila offers a quote from history that remains viable ...
                              "There are two ways to conquer & enslave a nation.
                               One is by the sword.
                               The other is by debt." -- John Adams 1826

A lesson Barack Obama and his sheeple obviously never learned.

Reader Dave says he picked this up on TV early this morning ...
      "This is your President speaking. There is nothing wrong with your televisions set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. We will control the horizontal, the vertical, your healthcare, light bulbs, your personal vehicle and what your children will eat while at school and in the home.
     "We can control political imagery and make it flutter or with an executive order, shift it further left. We will control your social focus to a soft blur or sharpen it into federal clarity. For the next four years, sit quietly and we will control all you see, hear, consume and be allowed to consider.
     "I repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television sets. You are about to participate in a great, Marxist adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from a controlling, centralized government to ... 'The No-Federal-Limits Zone."

 ...but at least he's nice to the help ...
     "A high-level government official from the Dominican Republic told The Daily Caller that New Jersey Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez and wealthy campaign donor Dr. Salomon Melgen have been having sex parties on the Caribbean nation for years.
     "When Menendez is there, he said, they have parties in the three-bedroom villa located in Casa de Campo’s Batey neighborhood. The parties feature '“sex, hookers and drinking.'”

Excuse me, sir, but is your wife faking it? Orgasm, that is? A study at Indiana University, which seems to have an ongoing and abundant interest in these matters, finds that more than a third of women say the last time they did the mattress mambo, they failed to achieve satisfaction.
     (It remains unclear why Indiana U. has a department that obsesses about sex. Of course, if you're stuck in Bloomington, Indiana, and your football team is a perpetual loser ...)

As the late Paul Harvey used to say, "Not why, just what ..."
     A British airport, plagued with flocks of birds that were a threat to aircraft safety, tried all kinds of sounds to frighten them away before they found the one that worked. Songs by Tina Turner.

Argus Hamilton --
     "The New York Marathon was canceled due to the storm damage. These runners got no respect. They'd looked pretty lame compared to everybody else in New York running down the road at the same speed carrying appliances and home entertainment centers."
