Everything happens for a reason. This has never been more evident than it was yesterday. As you all know I’ve been working on getting to know my youngest again after many years of neglect. We had arranged to meet for breakfast yesterday. While sitting in a booth in a small neighborhood restaurant waiting for her,a woman and an old man walked up and she addressed me by name.’ Remember me?’ It was my late Aunt Gloria’s daughter, my cousin Patty and her dad, my Uncle Bob, neither of whom I’d seen in almost 18 years since Aunt Gloria’s funeral. They sat down and for nearly an hour the four of us talked about what was going on, who had passed, where our kids were, how many grandchildren everybody had, and I silently marveled at how much my uncle looked like his own dad when we were all much younger.
YD left first, having to take my grandson to the doctor, and Patty and I exchanged phone#s and connected on FB. Somewhere along the way it struck me the Lord intended for this to happen. There’s no other reason I can explain it. Now that I can contact most of my cousins through various means I’m thinking maybe next summer would be a good time for a reunion of a sort. We haven’t all been together since Granny passed and a lifetime has gone on since then. Everybody is getting on, we have children and grandchildren and it would be a pity if we all didn’t get together for some fellowship and reminiscing one more time before we’re all called Home. I can be terribly thick-headed,but God knows I won’t question Him.
Sadly,I’m contractually obligated to come out of my Divinely-induced euphoria occasionally and deal with the depravity that is our corrupt government.it gives me no joy.
Obama’s Anti-Second Amendment Surgeon General Nominee Confirmed By The Senate
The Senate GOP got upset because Cruz and Lee made them stay in town on a Saturday to vote.To think they’d actually do what they promised to do.How absurd.The media claimed this caused Reid to pull the ‘nuclear option’ in retaliation.Truth is,he planned to do it all along.Yesterday was his last day as Majority leader and they shoved dozens of Obama lackeys through while the republicans couldn’t stop them.
In a last minute move before the end of the 2014 lame duck session, Senate Democrats confirmed President Obama’s rabidly anti-Second Amendment surgeon general nominee, Dr. Vivek Murthy, late Monday night.
Murthy, a 36-year old physician, was approved 51-43 as the nation’s top doctor despite opposition from the GOP for his support of gun control and ObamaCare. Three Democrats voted against him, while Sen. Mark Kirk (Ill.) was the only Republican to vote in favor.

Democrats Close Out Majority With Wins on Nominations
We sure f**ked ’em over,didn’t we?
Tuesday’s flurry of activity followed several tense days in the Senate, which included unexpected sparring Friday night on the Senate floor involving Reid and Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah.
The objection gave Reid an unexpected Christmas present of a Saturday session to lay the groundwork for speedier confirmation of several Obama nominees that Senate Republicans would have rather avoided, including Dr. Vivek Murthy as surgeon general and Antony Blinken as deputy secretary of State. All told, the Senate would end up confirming 69 Obama nominees from Friday until the final act, according to a Reid aide.

Barack & Michelle Obama: We’re Victims of America’s Racism
This discussion was necessary after the grand jury decisions on Michael Brown and Eric Garner that had nothing to do with racism.
People reported:

But their encounters with racial prejudice aren’t as far in the past as one might expect. And they obviously still sting.

As part of the release of American contractor Alan Gross from prison in Cuba, the United States has sent back to the island nation three convicted Cuban spies who are part of the so-called Cuban Five – marking one of the largest exchanges of prisoner between the U.S. and another nation since the end of the Cold War.
The Cuban Five were part of the “Wasp Network” and were sent by Cuba’s then-President Fidel Castro to act as spies in South Florida. They were arrested by the FBI in September 1998, and were convicted in 2001 in Miami on charges including conspiracy and

Obama issues ‘executive orders by another name’
President Obama has issued a form of executive action known as the presidential memorandum more often than any other president in history — using it to take unilateral action even as he has signed fewer executive orders.
When these two forms of directives are taken together, Obama is on track to take more high-level executive actions than any president since Harry Truman battled the “Do Nothing Congress” almost seven decades ago, according to a USA TODAY review of presidential documents

Breaking: Federal Judge Strikes Blow at Obama Executive Amnesty
So this means Barry’s amnesty is finished,right?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
He ignores any court that disagrees with him.Thanks to The Toad he now has fistfuls of hand-picked judges that will decide whatever he wants them to.
According to the opinion by Judge Arthur Schwab, the president’s policy goes “beyond prosecutorial discretion” in that it provides a relatively rigid framework for considering applications for deferred action, thus obviating any meaningful case-by-case determination as prosecutorial discretion requires, and provides substantive rights to applicable individuals. As a consequence, Schwab concluded, the action exceeds the scope of executive authority.

Second Graders Spend Recess Protesting Ferguson. Are They Too Young?
The 20-odd people chanting “Honk if you want justice,” on a New Bedford, Massachusetts sidewalk Dec. 12 got a lot of attention. They were second graders, rallying against police for the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. While the rest of their class enjoyed 11:30 recess that morning, these 7 and 8-year-old protesters stood by the side of the road in front of the Alma Del Mar Charter School holding signs including one that read, “Please don’t shoot me, Ferguson.”

Phony outrage from Barry’s bitch-boy.

In a dispatch from the Speaker’s office Tuesday morning, Boehner spokesman Matt Wolking argued that “Obama’s immigration explanations are not fooling anyone.” The post comes less than a week after conservatives blasted House Leadership for pushing through a government spending bill that did not defund Obama’s executive amnesty.

As the Michael Brown #Ferguson marches and protests continue, so too does the tactic of spilling into busy streets. But after cases of assault such as this, this, and this, motorists are starting to fear for their own safety when they get caught up in the middle of these marches.
