It struck me as odd that Chris Cuomo on CNN would spend much of Friday morning discussing with people how POLICE CAN’T POLICE POLICE…. That when it comes to killings, etc., is it really right to have law enforcement investigate law enforcement?
What struck me was how he’d be the first to say that Eric Holder’s Dept of Justice is just the right department to investigate the Dept of Justice…………hmmmm
ALSO: How’s about Obama and the Left’s eagerness to normalize relations with Cuba? We know that human rights are abused in Cuba. Yes, so now we’re talking about embassy reopenings in Havana, etc. WHY does the Left screech about human rights but then rewards terrible abusers of those same rights? So, what’s the real reason he wants Cuba opened? (And who gave Obama that line he’s used on Cuba and Iran….”What we’ve done SO FAR hasn’t worked, so…” He insists sanctions haven’t worked in Iran, but did you SEE Iranians dancing in the streets that sanctions are lifted on them? Sometimes, things haven’t worked and nothing’s going to make them better; you don’t just DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING, instead! That ‘nothing’s worked’ is no justification for HIS stupid big ideas, right?)
I saw Elizabeth Warren on CNN Friday, too. We’d better hope that she doesn’t run because she would win. She knows exactly how to articulate her story and gives the typical “We must protect the middle class, help them thrive, etc etc. My father was a rug salesman who had a heart attack and we almost lost our house but Mom, at 50, got a job, and we were okay…OF COURSE, the minimum wage was enough in those days…” Oh, yes, Elizabeth Warren is ALL about helping people but knows not the mechanics of an economy, apparently? She’s a good talker, folks. She’ll pull heartstrings. And she’s no dummy.
Thoughts, folks? On any or all of these points?

Lizzy Warren is just another Obama; very well spoken, but completely void of substance, or as her people would say, an empty tee pee. People love well spoken politicians, and just gobble up that honey which drips from their oration. If people look around and see what this love of well spoken politicians has gotten us, maybe they will go for a plain spoken politician once in awhile.

At this point, Elizabeth Warren isn’t running in 2016. I have the feeling that she will change her mind — particularly if pre-convention surveys show Hillary losing. The Left will do whatever it takes to minimize losing in 2016.
Which convention is first? The GOP’s or the Dems’?

Some ‘facts’ from a recent opinion poll taken in Cuba…
64 percent of Cubans would like to travel abroad, and 55 percent would like to live in another country. Of those wanting to emigrate, 52 percent want to live in the U.S.
34 percent of Cubans say they receive money from family members abroad, 61 percent of whom are living in the U.S.
94 percent of Cubans who receive remittances say they use the money to cover everyday expenses, 39 percent say they save, and 11 percent say they invest in a business.
70 percent of Cubans would like to own their own business.

Great stats on CUBA…thanks for them; it helps us see what’s going on.
By the way, after Obama’s visit, let’s not be surprised if all 52% of those Cubans who want to live in America aren’t sent free tickets and promises of free college, healthcare, and ….
Here’s the problem for Obama; these are folks who usually vote REPUBLICAN. Hard working, good people who got stuck behind the island version of the Iron Curtain

Cuba? Money. Lots and lots of money for those involved plus obama no doubt loves how they govern down there.

Ya, I should have linked it, thanks. Yes, ‘who cares?’ but it poisons society when they spend two weeks on home pages as NEWS…..the husband, he was 18 then (she taught him in the 2nd grade, as well) and she was 35 with a family, recently had HOT TEACHER parties where she signed autographs. THAT’s what we’ve come to.
Who cares what ANYBODY does in private? This is where we differ strongly with the libs I know on the blogs; morality. They say “If it feels good, do it, and why hold it back from everyone you know and society as a whole?” I think most of us say “Do it….but just do it in PRIVATE….don’t be poisoning our kids, age-appropriate DOES matter…”
I honestly think this is one reason there are suddenly so many transgender teens and suicides…..they know more about sex, see more sex, than most of us did at 20, let alone 14. They’re messed up, don’t know WHAT they are.

Z, Well, I wouldn’t have been ‘bi curious’ at any age. When I was 3, my folks had a party and I was rolling on the floor trying to look up the ladies dresses. They put me to bed.
But using a wide imagination, maybe some kids today can be coerced into being bi curious. And I think this is all because they’ve brought this crap into the classroom, and the homos want a bigger base on individuals to play with. It bothers me from that standpoint also.

I have the same comment for HER that I have for any other moron (like Ted Kennedy did) that runs around wringing their hands over the inadequacy of the minimum wage (pushed by unions as many of their contracts are based on “X” above minimum wage): I know you’re serious when you take that ‘minimum wage’ necessary to survive and translate it to the personal exemption on federal taxes. Until you’re ready to do that, zip it ‘cos you’re lying!

No one calls a dem on anything, especially during a campaign. And they’ve ‘been for the middle class’ the last 6 years, and the middle class is much worse off than it was 6 years ago. There was a time people could recognize when they were getting screwed, and I fear that ability is now a lost art. The increase in the number of people who don’t pay any tax, but rather get free money at tax time has increased a lot since then too.
