A response to the
response on my last news post
Response to response to post: We won't like how we are
livin' that life if we don't pay attention to what is happening that you keep
us informed of. Too many lives being lived are only about The Voice, etc. Happy
Birthday to Bonnie. Been enjoying the pictures of all of you. --Susan
Nightmares
Last night I had a strange dream. I dreamt an Angel appeared
and told me that she would answer two questions about the future for me. I said
I was very concerned about the partisan division in the country, and was afraid
that we would divide into two countries in the future. Was the US
going to split into two countries? If so, what would their constitutions look
like. She said, "Unfortunately, my son, in 20 years there will be two
countries where the US
is now. To answer your second question, I have here copies of their
constitutions you may look at." But I'm still wondering what the new constitutions
say--I don't read either Chinese or Arabic. ~Bob

Worth Subscribing To: Clinton as a candidate. By Jim Geraghty, Morning Jolt
Here’s the good news: Hillary Clinton is going to be a
pretty bad candidate. The notion that she, with her $400,000 speeches to
Goldman Sachs, is going to be the “champion” for “everyday Americans” (as
opposed to part-time Americans?) against the people at the top is ludicrous.
She won’t be able to hide from the press, and she tends to answer questions
terribly, as we saw in her press conference about the e-mails. She is indeed a
congenital liar, and a bad one. She’ll have at least one more big “sniper fire
in the Balkans” style blowup in the next six months, count on it.
But by the end of the year, the Democratic base and the
press -- and perhaps I repeat myself -- will have persuaded themselves that she
is whatever the moment requires. They’ll convince themselves that she’s “lunch-pail Hillary” as a writer for The New
Yorker insisted. If Russia
and Ukraine
are blowing up, they’ll convince themselves that Madam Reset Button will be the
right choice to face down Putin. If the Middle East is blowing up, they’ll
convince themselves that the architect of our intervention in Libya can
secure our interests and bring peace to the region. If there’s another VA- or
Healthcare.gov-level failure of the federal government, they’ll convince
themselves that Mrs. “What difference, at this point, does it make?” is the one
to restore accountably. If it’s a cyber-attack, they’ll believe that the right
choice to handle future threats like this is the woman who thinks Secret
Service agents standing next to a server stop intrusions. The good news is that
she’s not going to be a good candidate. The bad news is it’s not clear she
needs to be one in order to win.
Conservatives Embrace Cronyism at the Expense of American
Innovation. By Ken Blackwell
Excerpt: Republicans have been in control of both ends of
Capitol Hill for nearly four months and one would be hard-pressed to notice any
change. Apart from votes on Keystone and overtures to tax reform, most
lawmakers have adopted a status quo, business as usual attitude. It’s frustrating
but not entirely unpredictable. In the innovation sector, however, some
Republicans have cozied up to Obama’s campaign contributors and to big business and
have sold out small inventors and entrepreneurs by embracing a proposed
overhaul of the U.S.
patent system.
A 65-year-old mother of 13 is pregnant with quadruplets.
By Elahe Izadi
Excerpt: The last time Annegret Raunigk gave birth, to
her 13th child, she was 55 years old.
Now, the 65-year-old teacher from Germany is pregnant once again —
this time with quadruplets conceived through in vitro fertilization, the
German newspaper Bild
reported.
Excerpt: The reason is that CBO's debt estimates do not take
into account the
full financial obligations the government is committed to honor, especially for
future payments of Social
Security, Medicare,
and interest on the debt. He asserts that the federal government should help
the public understand the nation's true fiscal situation by using what
economists call "the infinite-horizon fiscal gap," defined as the
value of all projected future expenditures minus the value of all projected
future receipts using a reasonable discount rate. What difference does the
fiscal gap approach make in our understanding of the true federal debt? CBO
tells us that the national debt was a little less than $13 trillion in 2014.
But the fiscal gap in that year as calculated by Kotlikoff was $210 trillion,
more than 16 times larger than the debt estimated by CBO and already judged, by
CBO and many others, to be unsustainable. If a $13 billion gap is
unsustainable, what term should we apply
to a $210 trillion gap? I wrote about the Unfunded Liability in
my 2011 book The Coming Collapse of the American Republic
They can't borrow or print enough money to cover these
things, including, now, Obamacare. If they just stop paying, there will be
riots and violence. ~Bob)

Blacks are begging
Republican Party to give them a reason to vote GOP. By Raynard
Jackson
Excerpt: The Republican Party is
currently being tapped on the shoulder and being asked to do “a great and
mighty work, unique to them and fitted to their talents.” They are being tapped
on the shoulder by the Black community who are begging the Republican Party to
give them a reason to vote Republican in next year’s presidential election. (He
makes a great point, the GOP needs to really, really go after Black voters. No,
they won't get 94%, but they might get 30+%, and that could help swing an
election. --Del )

Trust Iran ? Yemeni
militiamen say captured two Iranian officers in Aden . By Mohammed Mukhashaf
Excerpt: Local militiamen in the Yemeni city of Aden said they captured
two Iranian military officers advising Houthi rebels during fighting on Friday
evening. Tehran has denied providing
military support for Houthi fighters, whose advances have drawn air strikes
by a regional coalition led by Saudi
Arabia , the Islamic Republic's main rival
for influence in the Gulf. If confirmed, the presence of two Iranian officers,
who the local militiamen said were from an elite unit of Iran 's Revolutionary Guards, would further
worsen relations between Tehran and Riyadh who are vying for
dominance in the region.
Excerpt: Russia
lifted its ban on sending an advanced air-defense system to Iran on Monday after pressure from Tehran to follow through
with a deal holding the potential to alter the strategic balance in the region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to remove restrictions on shipping
the S-300 surface-to-air missiles also appears to reflect policy shifts after
a framework reached
earlier this month to limit Iran ’s
nuclear program in exchange for easing international sanctions.
Excerpt: Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander General
Mohammad Ali Jafari
Iranian leadership continues to state clearly that
the framework deal announced in Lausanne ,
Switzerland earlier this
month constitutes a major achievement of the Islamic regime, which didn’t give
up on its nuclear program at all and forced the US to fold.
Excerpt: The Islamic State has launched a new assault on the
Baiji oil refinery in Iraq ’s
Salahaddin province. The Iraqi military claimed it has repelled the attack.

of food. About the only thing not left behind was a forwarding address. The
occupants simply vanished without notifying their neighbors, realtor or
even mail
carrier.
