WHERE WOULD YOU STASH YOUR GOLD? …
“GREEN” JOBS: WHERE ARE THEY? …
BIDEN ADMITS GUN LAWS UNENFORCEABLE

For many years, Germany has had much of its national gold reserve – seven tons – kept in the U.S., at the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
    Now the German government has decided to move all that gold to Germany.
    Ponder this question: Why would they now think their gold safer in their own federal bank than in a U.S. Federal Reserve Bank?

Big (bleeping) Surprise Dep't. …
    The House Energy and Commerce Committee finds that about one-fourth of the grant money handed out by Obama for “green” energy products went to companies based in foreign countries. The grants were supposed to create jobs for Americans. Result: practically nothing … in either jobs or products.

Footnote: Obama's vaunted “Jobs Council” that was supposed to devise ways to employ more Americans hasn't even met in 369 days – and counting. Just more phony, fraudulent BS from Obama.

Liberal craziness on display …
    Bette Midler says America's mental health problems are the fault of … ta-TA! … Ronald Reagan!

Survey (Gallup Poll) says …
    The National Rifle Association (NRA) is more popular than Obama – 54% to 53% of Americans surveyed so say.
… and …
    Despite CNN's hysterical advocacy of gun “control,” it's own poll shows support for the media/politico-generated issue has actually dropped.
    The whole thing is a clear example of (many, but not entirely) well-meaning people being stampeded into a mindset of, “We must do something, even it makes no sense and won't work.”
    And the criminals, who are most likely to use guns, are laughing.

… meantime …

It SCREAMS hypocrisy that when conservative activist James O'Keefe visited the homes of several anti-gun so-called “reporters” and offered them signs for their lawns reading “THIS HOME IS PROUDLY GUN-FREE,” they were deeply offended and refused them.

VP Joe Biden, Obama's point-man on gun control, said this to the NRA representatives at their recent meeting: “Regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.”
   
Are we clear on this? An administration that admits it can't enforce the gun laws already on the books … wants more such laws.
   
This serves as a working definition of hypocrisy, plus political posturing.

A blatantly biased operation called PolitiFact accused Mitt Romney of telling the biggest lie of the campaign when he said Chrysler Corporation, owned by Fiat of Italy, was going to move expanded production of Jeeps to China.
   
The PolitiFact charge that there was no such plan helped Obama enormously in the swing-state of Ohio, where Jeeps are currently manufactured.
   
Notice this item in the news this week? Chrysler announced that it IS moving expanded Jeep production to … China. Those jobs will not be in Ohio or anywhere else in the U.S.

Today's significant statistic …
   
Four years ago organizers of the Obama inauguration festivities order 7,000 Porta-potties for use by the crowd gathered on the National Mall. This year … only 1500.
   
Only a tasteless cynic would suggest that the Obama supporters turning out this year are more likely to be full of the same substance they were when they voted in November.

Smallest surprise of the week …
   
Former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, who ranted about lack of support from the federal government during Hurricane Katrina and pronounced The Big Easy to be a “chocolate city,” i.e., to be run by blacks, has been indicted for massive corruption.
   
Guess what! None of the old alphabet TV networks – ABC, CBS, NBC – mentioned in their reports that Nagin is a DEMOCRAT.

Wes Pruden (editor emeritus, Washington Times) considers the apostasy of Colin Powell ...
    "Colin Powell, heretofore admired and even revered by many on the right, insists he's still a Republican, but he's an 'Obama Republican' who disagrees with just about everything Republicans believe.
    "Unless they become more like him, the Republicans are doomed, and deserve to be.  Mr. Powell told an NBC-TV interviewer that he sees 'a dark vein of intolerance' running through the party, and unless the party elders are aggressively intolerant of intolerance, as Mr. Powell and his friends define intolerance, 'they are going to be in trouble.'"
   

Colin Powell is another political figure of whom it has been aptly said, "There are two things I don't like about him: his face."

Conan O'Brien --
   
"President Obama's half-brother is running for political office in Kenya. Donald Trump has already accused him of being born in the United States."

Some good, longtime neighbors have just moved away. They agreed to pass along to the new owners of their house a few good words about us as their new neighbors.
   
For example, we asked that the new residents be told that we're good folk, unobtrusive but kind-hearted. And suggest they not be alarmed by any noise coming from our Saturday night devil-worshiping service nor concerned with the snake-handling rituals that accompany it, even though the little rascals do occasionally escape.
   
I'm sure we'll get along well with them.

    "Notre Dame’s superstar linebacker Manti Te’o apparently had an online girlfriend who didn’t really exist. They're calling it the biggest hoax involving Notre Dame since they were ranked number one in the nation."
