WILL THE REAL HILLARY CLINTON PLEASE STAND UP?

In the summer of 1973, Hillary Clinton and 817 people took the Washington, D.C. bar exam. Out of those 817 there were 551 of them that passed. Hillary was not one of them. This is all according to Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein. So 67% of those that took that D.C. exam passed it and Hillary was not one of them. That places her at the bottom 33% of those that took the exam. To Hillary's credit, she then moved to Arkansas where she did finally pass the bar exam. As we all know she went on into politics where who you know is more important than your moral compass and integrity. 

Let me shed some light on this small fact. I know someone well that has taken the bar exam and the CPA exam. Here's the deal from that person, "The CPA exam is far harder and mentally challenging than any bar exam. It took me two tries to pass the CPA exam and the breadth of knowledge (useful knowledge) that is required to pass the CPA exam is probably about three times that of the bar exam. The bar exam was a breeze and I passed it on the first try and was one of the first ones done. I have an above average IQ but I am do not consider myself highly intelligent whatsoever." 

The point I am trying to make is that her failure on something she devoted so much of her energy on (the D.C. bar exam) is indicative of her ineffectiveness. Her trail is littered with stories of her inability to make decisions, failures and what appears to be cover ups. Benghazi and the personal email server she used as Secretary of State are two examples of the aforementioned concerns. Of course, these are my opinions but I would love to have someone try to convince me that her past decisions are anything other than amateurish. I would like to think that our Secretary of State was a competent and skillful person, but I would also like to know if Obama gave her an ultimatum to resign or be fired because she is so inept. 

The media will trumpet Hillary as the first woman President in the next couple of years. In the meantime I hope people take the time to do a little research on The Hillary. Dick Morris worked for her husband on his campaign and he had some insight into The Hillary that should be read. There have also been countless stories about how The Hillary treats people that should be considered since there are so many stories from so many different people that have made her acquaintance. How someone treats another person when no one is looking says more about someone than when the cameras are rolling and the news media are babbling and the poll numbers are being manipulated.

END THE FED?

You decide. But first shouldn't we audit the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) to see what they are doing with our money? Then we can make a decision if they are just benefiting the elite at the expense of everyone else.

As Ron Paul said, "how could an audit advance efforts to end the Fed unless the audit would prove that the American people would be better off without the Fed? And don't the people have a right to know if they are being harmed by the current monetary system?" Why should governmental figures attack those who want to audit the Fed? Doesn't the Fed exist so that we should all benefit from its policies?

Then there is the lie that the Fed is independent. You had that lie hammered into your head since you were in high school. How can the Fed be independent if it would not even exist if it were not for the Federal Government? It's existence can be brought to life and, likewise, ended by the Federal Government (but it won't unless people learn how the Fed hurts everyone except the few well connected elites).

Our country survived without central bankers before and it would be fine without them again.

MUSLIMS IN THE WHITE HOUSE

WHO ARE THEY?

OBAMA WON'T TELL

Our self-proclaimed "transparent" President is anything but transparent as the Liar-In-Chief meets with Muslims whom he will not name publicly or to the press. Just for kicks I googled "liar-in-chief" and sure enough Obama came up with hundreds of results. The results mostly pertained to his obvious lie that you can add millions of people to the health care rolls and have health care costs go down. The American public really needs to brush up on their math.  

My guess is some of the Muslim leaders are part of CAIR and/or the Muslim Brotherhood. Either way it can't be good for our freedom loving way of life.

Why support transparency and freedom when you can hobnob with crazy people who burn people alive, stone women to death, mercy kill their children and raise children to be suicide bombers?

OBAMA'S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

aka

FREE SH*T FOR EVERYONE

Free this and free that and the official debt of the Nation is around 18 trillion dollars and yet Obama panders to the populace. This President is not attempting to act responsible in any way. This President is doing exactly what Chavez did in Venezuela and while his people elected him and kept him in power ... his policies and laws destroyed that country. Take a few minutes and research how things are in a country that loves to vote for a leader that promises free stuff for its citizens with not one iota of thought of what the result of those promises brings. I urge you to research what has happened to Venezuela and how a man like Chavez came to power. Learn how a once booming country now cannot keep the bare essentials (including toilet paper) on the shelves in any stores. It is easy to believe someone when they speak from a position of authority, like the President of the United States. It is harder to understand what certain policies do to the human spirit and bank account. 

It makes me think of "The definition of the word Conundrum" email that has been making its rounds on the internet. I tried to find the source of the following and was unsuccessful. If anyone knows where this came from please let me know so I can attribute it properly:

The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."

Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America :

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.

Makes you wonder who is doing the math.

These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:

1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering...

2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.

Think about it.....and Last but not least,

3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.

LORD ACTON

ORACLE OF LIBERTARIANS

The following are some of Lord Action's quotes:

Men cannot be made good by the state, but they can easily be made bad. Morality depends on liberty.”

“Liberty consists in the division of power. Absolutism, in concentration of power.”

“Bureaucracy is undoubtedly the weapon and sign of a despotic government, inasmuch as it gives whatever government it serves, despotic power.”

“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.”

“Authority that does not exist for Liberty is not authority but force.”

“Limitation is essential to authority. A government is legitimate only if it is effectively limited.”

As revolutions grow around the world there is hope for freedom. Unfortunately most revolutions have monsters seize power and placate the masses with actions that may appeal to the masses and appear legitimate at the time but are gruesome and cruel (which is the true portrayal of events) in the history books.

Peter St. Onge writes in "Revolutions Eat Their Parents" the following:

The left-wing revolutions of the twentieth century have all followed this pattern: midwifed by utopian intellectuals, power is quickly seized by political entrepreneurs who play to the basest instincts of the common people. Even in the most “civilized” places, such as “anything goes” Weimar Germany or 1950s “playground of the stars” Cuba, these newly enthroned are happy to see those eggheads and their “perverted” friends interred, tortured, hung from the nearest lamp post.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE : THE CREATION OF A SNAKE

What you are looking at is a picture of an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake

or what I would draw if I was asked to draw a picture of 

the Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

The banksters have a bird in the hand and a bird in the bush. They never lose because when they gamble with your deposits at "their" banks they have a bird in the hand. The Federal Reserve System is there to create money out of thin air and lend it to banks at a below market interest rates (a "market rate" being based on what you and I would think would be an appropriate rate for the risk invovled). This allows the banksters to bail themselves out. 

Banksters have a bird in the bush because they can lend multiples (usually 10 times) of the amount of any deposits they hold for you at the bank. This is called fractional reserve banking and it means the banks only have a fraction of the reserves that they would have if they were required to keep one dollar in the bank for each dollar they lent out. They usually lend out 7 to 10 times the amount of the deposits that they have on their books. The reason there were bank runs in the old days is that citizens understood this and there were no computers to wire money to banks with a push of a button. The other reason was that money was officially backed by gold or silver before 1973. Not anymore. All you have is a credit memo or piece of worthless paper.

Tomorrow the Chair of the Board will say some drivel to the public about how the Federal Reserve has everything under control and that markets are normalizing with some disruptions from Russia and oil prices. What they won't say is how their irresponsible financial engineering by creating money out of thin air to buy bonds and mortgages to drive interest rates to near zero steals money from the savings of responsible citizens and veterans and grandmothers and grandfathers who worked their entire life so that they may retire someday. No. You won't hear how the FED bails out the banksters and irresponsible borrowers and pays off the public unions and helps the government spend money on wars and silly projects and political payoffs. You won't hear that. 

You won't hear how easy money allowed every Tom, Dick and Harry to get money to drill oil wells in the Permian Basin because banks could finance operations that would never exist in a true free market with a true free market interest rate and with free market returns (as well as free market failures). If you read the financial statements of most of the new drillers, and look at the build up in debt, it would make your head spin. Most were never free cash flow positive even with oil over 100 dollars. Imagine what their finances are like with oil at 50 dollars.  

You may not remember the last two train wrecks from the FED's easy money policies. Let me remind you. The first big one was after the year 2000 when Greenspan flooded the market with money because everyone thought the computers were all going to blow up when they turned over to the year 2000. Then came 9/11. The second one was caused by pumping up the real estate market to unsustainable levels up until 2008. The "official" reasons the FED does this are always the same. The FED is saving the markets, saving the banks or monitoring employment levels but the real reason is merely to enrich those who control the money supply. Heavy government regulation makes only the politically connected rich. Free markets allows everyone to get rich (along with the requisite responsibility of managing your own money). Do you want to take a shot at getting elected to get rich or do want to do what you want to get rich and not have it taken from you from the FED's constant inflation of the money supply? 

Easy money never ends well. Don't believe the snake when she tells you this time is different.

No matter what, the FED will be there to bail out the banks (even the ones that lent money to Tom, Dick and Harry). That is why the banksters created the FED in the first place.

I have said it once and said it 100 times. End the FED. We will all be better off.

ECONOMICS TRUMPS POLITICS

The reason politicians should not meddle with markets is because the market will eventually do what the market wants to do. The market is you and me and all the other market participants. Artificially creating floors and ceilings for prices and wages and creating onerous regulations only artificially changes prices for a short time until the market eventually corrects. 

The most egregious market interference is when one person, like the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, determines what the market should be (instead of all of the market participants). The FED is currently using non-market oriented gimmicks to keep interest rates artificially low and the result is that the low rates are driving investment into projects that would not be profitable if interest rates were higher. But alas, interest rates will go up because the FED will not be able to make its gimmicks work forever. When that happens we will have another market crash. It is as inevitable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
