Commodore Snoogie Woogums predicted this:
[…] Park spokeswoman Maureen Hugatree stated that the orders to fill in the canyon with fog had come straight from the White House. “They told me that they had deemed the fog machine operators to be essential emergency personnel with previous experience of clouding issues to the public,” she explained… (peoples cube)
Now it has come to pass…. (more…)
Yesterday President Stompy Feet posed for his latest national portrait. Today the park service admits they were told to inflict the maximum public pain during the government shutdown. Also today, the Border Patrol reveals they have been told to “Stand Down” and ignore border crossings.
All of this why?
Because the actual truth is people are awakening to the reality that most of the federal government is *non essential*; and, quite frankly, we can just do without them. THAT is the real risk to sellers of BIG government. It’s the same visible reality that stemmed from the ‘sequester cuts’ which, despite all the protestations to the contrary, really don’t have impact. That’s the real issue. (more…)
And so we enter Day #4 of the federal shutdown with the media still gnashing it’s horrible teeth determined to frame the horrid Republican Anarchists, Terrorists, jihadists. But the electorate continue to defy the media demands.
Tea Party extremists caused this #BoehnerShutdown. Tell @SpeakerBoehner to end it now: http://t.co/hLq6qOd2lM pic.twitter.com/WW4soKEibu

CBS Polling shows when the government shut down back in November 1995, 51 percent of Americans blamed the Republicans in Congress, while 28 blamed President Bill Clinton.
And what are those numbers today? 44% blame GOP, 35% blame Obama, and 17% blame both. Imagine what the polling would be if the media reporting was neutral.
But the media was able to find an OFA organizer who signed up for Obamacare. Only there was one little issue they didn’t share. His premium TRIPLED. (more…)
TreeHouse Team Ponderings: Little one’s hair is nicely cared for and she’s wearing cute, clean clothes. Which makes one think mental illness on the part of caregiver/mom-person is not as significant a factor as perhaps they would like it to be?
This child looks properly cared for by a relative and thus, whatever the dead person did today was not primarily a result of mental illness, but a decision. Just a thought. In addition, the child is not behaving hysterically in the way that children accustomed to abusive surroundings might rip loose when “something else” goes wrong.
The child appears to be responding to a caring adult in an appropriate manner…not clinging or freaking out–but trusting. Again, that suggests the chaos was a result of deliberate decisions, not a result (primarily) of “mental illness.”
[O]ne of the very first newsmen on the scene was a reporter for Alhurra (“The Free One”)TV? They shot the first video all the stations were using.
Alhurra is operated by the non-profit corporation “The Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Inc.” (MBN). MBN is financed by the U.S. Government through a grant from the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), an independent federal agency. The BBG serves oversight and as a firewall to protect the professional independence and integrity of the broadcasters. (link)
Interesting thought… Somali woman hired to work in prisons. Prisons generally filled with large percentages of those holding Muslim faith. Hmmm? (more…)
Day #2 picked up right were Day #1 left off. If you choose to operate a form of governance without the consent of the governed you need a complicit media.
President Obama has just that; but the average American is seeing through the ruse.
As the Media Research Center reveals – The nation’s big three news networks are falling right into place for President Obama and the Democrats, blaming the Republican Party for the government shut down by a whopping 21-0 story count.
That’s 21 national stories outlining how it’s the fault of the Republicans, and ZERO stories reflecting the shutdown is any fault of the President or Democrats. Yet you will still find people who claim there is no media bias. Whatever. (more…)
President Obama gave an interview to CNBC (financial news) you must watch this video and recognize what he’s doing here. He is intentionally talking down the stock market and the financial sector:
Senator Reid was asked about why not fund the NIH (National Institute of Health) a partial funding bill sent by the House of Representatives.
Immediately, and correctly, the righteous patriots reacted to the dismissive nature of Harry Reid when responding about children with cancer. Many saw it as a gotcha moment – but most have missed the “key phrase” he used in this example.
A far more dangerous phrase, and a phrase which outlines the ideological disconnect of Democrats in a larger sense.
Listen closely as Harry Reid explains the Democrat position. Listen to exactly what he says at the :50 second mark in this video excerpt:
…”what right do they have to pick and choose what part of government is going to be funded”….
Forget everything else and think about that for a moment. (more…)
