Changing a Speaker.

1-Earl's Boy (CR-OH) resigned as Speaker of the House, but may stick around until current congress expires 01.2017. Maybe not??? 2-Rep. Paul Ryan (CTPR-WI) took over as the 62nd. Speaker, after #61 cleaned out the stables of a barn...of old business. 3-Permits Speaker Ryan to be freed of any monkeys on his back from the get-go. 4-Speaking of a monkey on his back, is Earl's boy biggest grip that impacted his effectiveness as Speaker. Dealing with the resident at 1600 Pennsy Ave. and his reneging on a major financial hand shake agreement. Agreed one day and shook hands,then totally disregarded the gentleman hand's shake and asked for more taxes the next day. 5-But what did Earl's boy expect from a former street/community organizer. 6-The following formula should be tried by Speaker Ryan: CTPR / TP = CR. Cut the damn divisions within the party. If not that will allow MP to waltz into the POTUSA office, with moon faced smile and cackling like a hen sitting on her eggs. It will be 4 more years of the past ~ 8 years, the nation can't undergo riding in the gutter till 2020, The ideal time is now!!! 7-Meanwhile a former Speaker #59 Hastert (R-IL) could be heading to the jailhouse. 8-It's not unusual for ... ex-politicans from IL. to spend time in the slammer, but not the R types. Hastert deserves jail time than is anticipated for what he did years ago.

Presidentional Debates

1-Seems to me, I didn't miss much by not watching the two tier GOP debates last night. I didn't watch the World Series. KC won, bet Mets,lead 2-0, more to NY for game three. The wife got me to watch a movie instead, and a DVR American Picker re-run. 2-From reports I read this AM, the CNBC moderators, apparently just graduated from the JV team, and this is the best they got? 3-The format drifted from what was suppose to the debate theme...the economy from the get-go and CNBC didn't or couldn't get it back on track until the checkered flag appeared on time. US Senator Cruz had a "Patrick Henry moment", so I understand. 3-Somehow the GOP has to the thin the ranks, 14 candidates in two tiers of 4 and 10 each is a bit unwieldy at this point in time. Drop the second tier of 4 since they hadn't moved in polls and probably will not. The primary season is but ~ 3.5 months away. 4-The top tier 10 candidates, should probably remain since there is no clear cut winner take all yet. Someone from the back of the pack could could break loose in the primaries and cross the finish line before the GOP convention. 5-It's prossible, but not likely, the GOP candidate will not be determined until after an old fashion convention fight. 6-Reports from the WH/DOD, pp is rethinking the Iraq-Syrian wars, and reconsidering putting US boots on the ground and adding more close air support. Believe me this is strictly a smoke screen, nothing will happen until > 20 Jan. 2017. 7-Mr.POTUSA just shut up and hunker down in the WH for next 14 months. History is passing you by, your legacy is eroding, your legend is not...you suck! 8-Jimmy Cater has this big,old smile on his face, and waving a couple Confederate flags, that is until the WH flag police arrive.

Mea Culpa for Deeds spent Before, During and After a War.

1-Seems to me many, including Tony Blair of England, are jumping upon the bandwagon of repents. 2-Amazing as it may appear to 21 Century folks, you can't re-write history, never could. Although many have tried in vein even with 20/20 hindsight, still what happened... happened forever. 3-Some think, if Iraq were not invaded in 2003, after all no WMD were found, we would not have this monster know as ISIS>ISIL>IS today(IS). We know damn sure now, Iraq does not have WMD, nor did we ever find their air force??? 4-For crying out loud, IS... is nothing but a bunch of thugs ~35,000 strong, left over Sadamn troops, and a collection of unemployed world losers, being supplied by god only knows. 5-Put the 4th ID and support combat troops with a bunch of AF A-!0's for close air support and the conflict would be over long before election day 2016. The LDP's don't want that to happen "no US boots on the ground" per pp. That's a f------, lie. 6-Retrogress for a minute, before the invasion of Iraq the plan was to squeeze Sadamn quickly between US Armies/others from the South and the US 4th ID and support combat troops from the North through Turkey. Time line...we will never know, can't predict what don't happen either, but it would of been quick < 6 months. 7-SOS Powell struck a deal with the Turks, for US to mass in the eastern Med and enter Iraq thru Turkey. Remember Turkey is a NATO nation. 8- Ok, SOS Powell advises WH to get SOD Rumsfelt to move mox schnell with the 4th ID/support, which he did. Now for Turkey's sucker punch. Turkey closes it gates, leaving SOS Powell high and dry. Boils down to Turkey ain't gonna left no Muslim troops to cross their land to attack another Muslim nation, no matter the $ 18 B, in bribe moneys. That was never said, but that is my assessment. 9-Hence the the US force take a right hand turn in Eastern Med, and spend weeks going to Kuwait staging area via the Red Sea, around Saudia Arabia, via Arabian Sea, and up the Persian Gulf. 10-A suprise attack on Iraq, it was not. Shock and all it was. 11-Meanwhile Sadamn had time to more any WMD from Iraq to Syria, then onto Libya along with his air force planes, while US sailed 1,000s of miles to arrive at the Kuwait City pinch point .

Don't call me!

1- The ex-SOS (MP) had to had approved and dispatched her dear, dear friend Chris Stephens, as first US Ambassador to Libya following the collapse of of Libyan government. MP bid the Ambassador off with a smiley face and hen's cackle. But left no t/p # or e-mail address where she could be reached at say 3:00 AM...her famed saying. 2-Not sure how the other three Americans were assigned, but the four were dispatched to a land were NO conquering army reigned. 3-Literally a free killing field. Where people lived for generations under threat of fighting and dying. 4-Remember this was the first new age war, "lead from behind---no boots on the ground war BS", dictated by a JV team directly from the WH. 5-It was a suicide mission, when the Ambassador left the Ambassador's residence in Tripoli and ventured to a undermanned Consulate/ CIA Annex in Benghazi. Request for military support went unanswered on hundreds of times up until the Consulate/CIA annex was sacked and the Ambassador and three other Americans were dead. 6-Stephens mission in Benghazi, still remains a mystery, but $10.00 to a donut, it was to collect tons of scattered collections Libyan weapons from Libyan rebels and al-Queda, and somehow ship these arms to the Syrian rebels in a civil war with Syria's Assad. 7-This is what conquering armies do, Mt President. Darn it, you gotta have boots on the ground, not much support from 30,000 ft. 8-The ex-SOS bogus claim she lost more sleep than the Committee as whole who are investing the deaths of four Americans. Shows just how phony she really is. Did a tear appear or was it just sweat from the grilling? 8-Interesting discovering... MP didn't talk to, or communicate in any form with her dear, dear friend Chris after the send off. More with a LDP Clinton employee, who has been exiled from a pp's WH.? Plus he had no experience on middle-east politics, but PM don't either. (see what the Arab Spring has accomplished). 9-You wonder what does MP gain or claim at the end of time? So far she really achieved little good, that are truly her assets. 10-POM is one,she will never achieve, but on the other hand she may contract dementia. 11-The first American combat death in Iraq just happened, that's since pp declared the Iraq war over 12.31.2011. 12-The LDP presidentional bench shrunk. Three grandpa dropped out, leaving two grandpas and a ma. Don't be suprised if GI doesn't get called to duty.

LDP Talk is over!!!

1-It wasn't much of a debate last night, but who can give more free stuff away of which the is little cash in the Treasury. 2-Someone put a price tag on just Bernie Sander'give away package, to buying votes at $18 T,/ 10 years with revenue of only $7 the same period. 3-That makes socialist sense. Really! 4-I like my idea to eliminate all grandmas and grandpas from running for public office. The LDP would not able be to field a bench of players. 5-Why Lincoln Chaffee, Jim West and the ex-governor of Virginia showed up; goes back to old Chinese folk lore, always have an uneven number in any setting.

Tonight, Tonight

l- It will be as much fun watching the LDP debate tonight, as having a double herina surgery. 2- MP, ex US NY Senator, ex-SOS. A VT US Senator who is a socialist. Ex Maryland Governor.EX US Senator from Virgina. And an empty chair just in case GI shows up. That should go over as we;; as Clint Eastwood,s empty chair discussion with pp at the RNC convention in 2012...
