The New Task Force

For the record, I am not a person in favor of rape. And I am not supporting rape by writing this post. I do believe there are women out there who are legitimate victims, and then there are those who abuse term, and cry wolf.

 

 Yesterday the President assigned yet another task force to deal with rape on college campuses. Once again here is another problem created by progressives and they just want to solve it with yet another progressive program.

POTUS said in his speech that 1 and 5 women on campuses get sexually assaulted. I would like to know what his definition of that is. And how does he actually know how many numbers and where did he get his stats from?  If it is wide enough to attain those numbers then how many men can equally say that they have been assaulted by women?

It is in this writer’s view that the administration has no business sticking its nose into issues on college campuses. That should be left up to State and Local authorities. I feel this is just another campaign, and its sole purpose is to take the heat off of the other more important issues that is plaguing his term in office. And since he has done such a stellar job with health care will this be run the same way?

While POTUS is worried about this, where is his concern and task force on the amount of assaults in the military?

 Mr. President if you really want to address the issue and  stop rape on campuses, then allow students at their discretion to unrestricted open carry. Then you would be solving two problems:

1. Reducing the number of rapes
2. Ridding the world of true dirt bags.

I say true dirt bags, because so many of these assaults turn out to be a mad girlfriend trying to get back at her boyfriend.

If you really want to reduce the number of assaults, then students need to start focusing on more moral issues, and less of the partying ( as much of these cases seem to happen after a drunken night out) If that were to happen then their education might lead to something more then a useless degree in sociology, where they will end up having to live in the basement of mom and dads house until they are 38.

For Fellow Star Wars Fans

After I think about it, that is kind of gross...ewwwwwww

Gun Control

A Retired Master Chief friend of ours posted this on his facebook. I just had to share it: 

 It has already started at Cabala’s Sporting Goods Store. There was a bit of confusion at their store this weekend. When I was ready to pay for my purchase of some ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."
Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about these gun control whackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.
When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card-reader.
I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to us seniors a little clearer!

Pensions and Stuff

Believe it or not, I am still here. This morning Senior asked me If I had looked at his blog post from last night. I said "No, I really haven't been on blogger on almost two weeks" which he then said "yea I know"
So now this is me, checking in on blogger and doing a post. I breezed through some of the blogs I followed and left a comment or two.
That darn bronchitis was kicking my butt as well as Seniors, then the boys started with it. Then ND brought home a stomach bug. Thankfully it was short lived, but not before making the rounds through all four of us.

And while all that was going on, My brother decided to become ( actually he all ready was one) a complete and vicious SOB. Senior said something to him he did not like, and took it personally. Then all "you know what" ensued. Now we are not speaking. He is back living out in Washington state with his Raleigh party girl and her teenage son, which BTW did NOT make it in to the Army.. 
That is the same kid that my  brother picked up in a walmart parking lot, the one he was trying to help out...yep!  no Army for him. So, my brother and his train wreck life are way the heck out there,  As far as I am concerned family or not, he can stay there.  *SIGH*

Now there is my parents, my dad is worried about his pension. The man worked 35 years as a firefighter and retired gracefully. Now the city wants to play with pension reform. That money is owed to my dad, and every one else who has retired from a career.
Plus, look at the recent vote by the federal government in reference to  veterans  pension and disability...  *sigh*   really does get me worked up, because these folks signed a contract when they enlisted and to me if pensions are taken away then the government is in breach of those contracts. 
That is just my thought on the entire situation.
Can't we all agree that there are other programs that can be cut? ie: EBT cards, or SNAP ?
The other day I ran in a gas station while Senior waited. A young girl was in front of me..she purchased gas for her car, cigarettes, and lotto tickets..and do you know how she paid for it? with her EBT card. Then, she gets in her car, which was a brand spanking new GMC Acadia. 
"GRRRRRRR" I thought. So much abuse of the system. And you can tell when a person is paying with that card, because the cashier goes to a special register for it.

Okay now my pension rant is over... I hope Senior will be happy I posted something..

Cold Weather Humor

This is for my friends who are dealing with all the extreme sub zero temperatures especially Rob who, like me was watching the Star Wars marathon yesterday, not only was I watching it, but my entire living room  was turned in to a base for the empire.

And one more for you :

Sun Cycles and Weather

Saw this report the other day which opened up a discussion between Senior and I about all the extreme cold weather, and the fact that any and all global warming theories have been shattered.
Did you know the sun shifts polarity every 11 years ? And 2013 meant the end of the most recent solar cycle and polarity shift. This shift has sent a tidal wave of ripples through out our solar system.

READ ABOUT IT HERE

Solar cycle 24 ended and with that started the cold weather extremities, even some of the worlds most noted scientists are starting to back track on the global warming issue and some are even saying that we could be headed towards a lengthy period of global cooling:

READ ABOUT IT HERE

Another fact is in 2007 scientist predicted the arctic ice sheet would disappear by 2013, well not only did it NOT disappear, it actually grew.

So are solar cycles and the and global temperatures related? I am not exactly sure, but It does make for a good argument and it would seem logical at least to me, that if the moon affects our tides, then why wouldn't the sun's cycles affect our weather.

Saturday...

Happy 2014 every one! 

The cough that NW gave me for Christmas turned into Bronchitis over New Years. We came home a day early from the estate so I could get in to my doctor.  Like I just told Pioneer Preppy...This stuff sucks.

Between coughing I am working my way around the blogs this morning..Up at the estate we do not have internet service, and trying to post and comment from a smart phone is not easy.
I played with my new camera up there this past week. Because of this crud words are short, so enjoy some of the pics I took :

This was a drive by pic on the way up. It turned out to be one of my favorites.

 

 

 

I have color filter on my camera and I was playing with it

This is a shot from our yard and across the neighbors pasture. Do you see the gate?  If you look at the tire swing pic you can see how big the pasture is. The gate is on the other side by that tree line.

Then I played with the zoom lens and had it out at the full 42x:



I took tons and there are more to come...  -JUGM
