For as long as I can remember the Global Cooling turned Global Warming turned Climate Change faithful have been telling us we're all doomed.
Doomed I say.
Way, way back when I was a kid I remember being scared to death of Global Cooling and the coming Ice Age.
It was settled science. Case closed.
But then the weirdest thing happened.
The planet started warming up.
Yay I said! We're saved!
Nope.
Now the exact same people and the exact same settled scienctists began telling us were still doomed. But this time around it was due to Global Warming.
It was settled science. Case closed.
But then the weirdest thing happened.
It started cooling off again and that trend has continued for the for the biggest part of the last two decades.
Yay I said! We're saved!
Nope.
These settled scientists who for the most part rely solely on government grants for their livelihood tried in vain to hide from us the fact that things were cooling off.
They went to great lengths to fudge, change, and adjust the data to support the claims they had been making to keep the money rolling in.
Realizing it was no longer possible to hide the obvious and finally figuring out that calling their scam Global Warming made them look foolish they knew they had to do something. And do it quick.
Enter Volcanoes.
In a new report released just a few days ago these settled scientists who for the most part rely solely on government grants for their livelihoods decided the cooling trend they tried so hard to hide from us and couldn't explain away have now decided it has been due to volcanic activity since 1998.
And once again the science is settled. Case closed.
Thanks to A. K. Ascott's blog over at cjonline the other day we learned a little about the Obama administration's plans to install government officials into news rooms across the country to monitor which stories they covered.
But there's more to the story.
A lot more.
I'd say the vast majority of Americans probably never even heard of the story. Not because it's a non-story that should be dismissed.
It's because the majority of the news reporters, station managers and such have all received their journalism indoctrination through the various George Soros funded left-wing Schools of Journalism and don't consider this a story we need to know anything about.
That and the fact that they don't want to antagonize their sugar daddy, George Soros who has donated a little over $52 million to help prop up various media outlets over the last ten years.
The Obama administration's FCC (Federal Communication Commission) has been working with two schools, The University of Southern California's School for Communication and Journalism and The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Communication and Democacy to put together a study to try to find out who's covering what and why they're covering it.
Combined these two so-called Journalism Schools (left-wing indoctrination centers) have received $1.8 million directly from George Soros' Open Society Foundations since 2000.
This so-called study is to make sure media outlets are providing the masses with news the Obama administration considers critical and I'm sure the Global Warming Bogeyman, minimum wage, amnesty, income inequality, racism and gay weddings at the Grammys will be at the top of their list as we head into the mid-term elections this November.
The FCC released a statement last Friday claiming that due to public backlash they were backing off the study.
Yeah right.
They're not backing off of anything.
They're simply reworking and rewording their study and it will soon rear it's ugly communist like head in news rooms across the nation as soon as they figure out a way to slip it in under the cover of darkness.
And no, I don't expect you Obama followers to believe anything I've said here today. Click on the link below and read for yourself the Op-Ed written by FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai (an Obama appointee) published in the Wall Street Journal had to say about it.
Since it was this Op-Ed that outed the Obama adminstration's plans to control the news we receive I'll bet Mr. Pai will soon be freed from the pressures and constraints of being job locked and will soon have the time to pursue his dreams of becoming a poet.
It's been brought to my attention that a few people visiting this friendly little room of ours aren't happy at all with the way things are done.
Fair enough.
From here on out I'll do everything I can to make sure every comment is given the consideration it deserves before simply deleting it.
In an effort to be all fair and balanced I've developed a Complaint Department to address such concerns. If for any reason you feel you're being unfairly singled out please feel free to fill out the following form and I'll make sure it receives the attention it deserves.

And there you have it.
Internet Trolling is a sickness. A disease if you will.
According to one of the biggest studies to date and just released a few days ago (and we all know how the left just loves studies) internet trolls suffer from from some very serious personality issues.
Theses mental disorders range anywhere from being:
A Narcissists: Among other things this type of person suffers from an overwhelming need for admiration.
A Psychopath: Characterized as someone who displays signs of enduring antisocial behavior, diminished empathy and or remorse.
A Sadist: Best described as someone who shows signs of enduring, pervasive, maladaptive patterns of antisocial behavior which are usually recognized before or during adolescence.
Or Machiavellian: A 1992 review described Machiavellian motivation as cold hard selfishness.
So there you have it.
Now my question it this.
Now that we know our good friend, gimme and other trolls who will no doubt eventually show up around here are really and officially sick and suffer from several if not all of the mental disorders described above, do we cut them a little slack and let him run their mouths the way they do or do we kick him to the curb?
I say we let them go and blow for a while then start hitting the delete button because I know how much it pisses them off.
You know, I had this whole rant all worked up for today. I had my notes all lined up, videos chosen. And if I do say so myself it would have been epic.
But this morning it doesn't seem all that important.
It all started out last night a little after 9:00.
My wife and I had gone up to one of our local casinos and were having a bite to eat before heading home when her phone started buzzing.
She checked it out and said, "that's weird, it's an Amber Alert, I don't remember ever getting one of these on my phone before."
She said it was a Missouri child abduction case and the police were looking for a gold-colored Ford Ranger.
As we headed south on highway 75 back towards town I noticed one of the flashing signs alongside the road was with the same message.
"Amber Alert-Child Abduction- Be On The Lookout For A Gold-Colored Ford Ranger."
We talked about it a little. But we both kind of figured it was another case of a divorced mom or dad taking off with one of their kids and figured it would probably turn out okay.
Like always I got up this morning and checked out a few news sites and that's when I read that a little ten-year-old Springfield Missouri girl had been forced into a pick up truck and the driver had sped away with her in broad daylight.
Well, they found the badly beaten body of 10-year-old Hailey Owens late last night.
According to witnesses 45-year-old Craig Michael had driven up and down the street several times before finally finally confronting the little girl, grabbed her and forced her into his truck.
I can't imagine the horror the dirty (very, very filtered word) inflicted on this innocent little girl who was simply walking to a friends house.
And I can't imagine the horror her parents must be going through today and the horror they have to face for years to come.
And knowing that weighs heavily on my mind today.
Anyone who's ever had kids knows exactly what I'm talking about, too.
As for 45-year-old, Craig Michael who has been arrested and charged with her murder.
Well, Mr. Michael, tough guy, if it turns out you did what the say you did I wish they'd skip all the premliminaries and take you back and shoot you in the head like a rabid dog.
Evidently they've solved every problem we've ever faced and can now focus on real problems.
Venezuela is on the verge of anarchy.
No Problem.
The Syrian civil war rages on and tens of thousands of people continue to be slaughtered and Assad still has complete control of his stockpile of deadly chemical weapons.
No problem.
China is outpacing and threatening us militarily on a daily basis.
No problem.
Egypt remains in complete and total chaos.
No problem.
Iran continues to flip us the bird while pursing their life-long goal of possessing nuclear weapons.
No problem.
North Korea who actually possesses nuclear weapons continues to threaten to launch a nuclear strike against us every few weeks.
No problem.
Al-Qaeda grows stronger by the day and has retaken major parts of Iraq and Afghanistan in which so many American soldiers fought and died for.
No problem.
In these idiots world the Global Warming Boogyman is the single biggest threat the world faces.
Just a few days ago John Kerry (Lurch) told a group of useful idiots in Indonesia that Global Warming is the most powerful weapon of mass destruction the world faces today and that unless we act now it will be too late to do anything about it.
Don't you think it's kind of stupid to believe these idiots can actually save the planet by changing the climate when they couldn't even build a simple website?
Well, well, well, looks like the good folks of Tennessee get it.
In a recent vote the workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga told the UAW to take a hike.
Not being from Tennessee I don't claim to know a lot about the particulars of this vote or even the thinking behind it.
However it's pretty clear (to me anyway) that the people of Chattanooga aren't the least bit interested in seeing their city becoming the next Detroit.
They understand perfectly well how the UAW and other unions along with their corrupt Democrat supporters have turned a once prosperous major American city into an American nightmare.
And it looks like they understand that unions have become nothing more than an extension of the Democrat Party.
In keeping with a long standing tradition we've always set Friday's aside as the one day of the week I turn this blog over to you guys.
You pick the topic.
I keep my mouth shut.
Sounds like a win, win situation to me.
On a side note last night someone going by the name of Anonymous stopped by and posted some goofy racist joke.
Look, I'm all about free speech. In fact that's why I started this blog back up in the first place.
I really do want this to be a place where you can freely speak your mind without having to worry about some over sensitive moderator jumping down your throat, deleting your comments and kicking you to the curb.
But I'd really rather we stayed away from any and all racial joke, slurs, insults and so on.
I know, it's hard to imagine a democrat being accused of corruption charges let alone being convicted and sent to prison.
Yeah right!
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, the mayor who in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina announced to the world he would rebuild New Orleans as a "Chocolate City" has been convicted of 20 of the 21 felony corruption charges filed against him.
Read more about the charges by clicking the link below:
Remember back during the last debt ceiling crisis how all you dedicated, hardcore Obama supporters hammered Ted Cruz for having the nerve to demanding that the employer mandate be delayed for a year?
I do.
Remember how you viciously attacked him for playing politics with people's lives?
I do.
Remember how you whined on and on about the tens of millions of helpless children who would be forced to go without healthcare if he got his way?
I do.
Remember when Nancy Pelosi told you the blatant lie about Obamacare creating 4 million jobs? (See today's lead video in case you've forgotten)
I do.
Remember when the Obamacare website crashed and burned on day one and all you true believers called it a good thing because the law was so popular that millions of people were trying to get on at the same time?
I do. And it was one of the funniest spectacles I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
Remember how the Republicans tried in vain to warn you about how bad this thing was going to be and how you called us liars, hate-mongers, racists and such?
I do.
Then riddle me this.
If this law was so well thought out and such a good thing why has your president bypassed congress and made 27 different changes to his perfect law all on his own since the day it was implemented?
Where's was your outrage the first time your president took ted Cruz's advice and delayed the employeer mandate till November of this year?
And where is it now that he's delayed it once again until November of 2016?
Aren't the same tens of millions of helpless children you claimed to care so deeply about going to be forced to go without healthcare?
Face it, you've been had.
This latest delay was nothing more than a political stunt to help vulnerable democrats make it through November's Mid-Term elections.
Of course you'll never admit it but deep down in your cold liberal hearts you know I'm right.
VIEWER WARNING: TODAY'S VIDEO IS ALMOST 10 MINUTES LONG SO I KNOW VERY FEW IF ANY OF YOU WILL BOTHER TO WATCH IT. THAT'S FINE. BUT THE TRUTH'S RIGHT THERE TO THOSE WHO AREN"T SCARED OF IT.
Anyway, it cracks me up every time I hear or listen to some leftist babbling on and on about those evil Koch brothers and their Americans for Prosperity (APF) organization.
According to the leftists peddling this nonsense the Koch brothers are the only billionaires in the political manipulation game and they'd like you to believe the democrats don't have anybody with the kind of money or influence the Koch brothers have.
Those who spin this obvious lie are either completely ignorant of the facts and really, truly don't know any better or they're willfully ignorant of the facts and are lying.
Personally, I believe it's the latter. But what do I know, I'm just an old guy.
But just for giggles and grins, let's play along and pretend they've never made the connection between the Democrats and the Hollywood elite. They've never heard of the guy named Warren Buffet. They've never heard that the Democrats enjoy the enormous financancial backing of every public and private sector unions in the country and they've never heard of The New York Times or MSNBC.
And every single one of them act like the guy named George Soros doesn't even exist.
Well he does. And he exists in a very big, spooky way.
The following is a list of organizations directly funded by none other than George Soros.
Read the list and then you decide.
Who's doing the most political manipulation? The Koch Brothers with their Americans for Prosperity (APF) of George Soros with his world wide network of radical activists.
Advancement Project: This organization works to organize "communities of color" into politically cohesive units promoting leftist policies.
Air America Radio: Now defunct leftist radio station.
All of Us or None: This organization seeks to change voting laws.
Alliance for Justice: This organization is best known for their work in the appointment of federal judges.
America Coming Together: This organization's mission is to organizes and promote pro-Democrat voter-mobilization programs.
America Votes: Another pro-Democrat get out the vote organization.
America's voice: Open borders group pushing amnesty for illegal aliens.
American Bar Association on Immigration policy: Another open borders group pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens.
American Bridge 21st Century: This group provides Democrat candidates information (dirt) on their Republican opponents.
American Civil Liberties Union: This group opposes almost every security measure taken since the attacks of 9-11. They're also big time open borders people and have been quick to defend suspected terrorists.
American Constitution Society for Law and Policy: A Washington DC based think-tank designed to recrute, indoctrinate and mobilize young law students.
American Family Voices: This group creates and coordinates media campaigns against Republican candidates.
American Federation of Teachers: This powerful teachers union works to make sure everyone adheres to left wing policies.
American Friends Service Committee: This group views The United State as the principal cause of human suffering. They're big open borders supporters, pro amnesty and abololition of the death penalty.
American Immigration Council: Another open border group pushing for amnesty.
American Immigration Law Foundation: Another open border group.
American Institute of Social Justice: Obviously one of Obama's favorite groups.
American Library Association: This group is working to repeal every aspect of the Patriot Act.
American Prospect Inc: This corporation recruits and trains left wing journalists.
Amnesty International: Yet another open borders and pro amnesty group.
Applied Research Center: This group sees The United States as deeply racist.
Arab American Institute: An Anti-Israel Pro- Palestinian group.
Aspen Institution: Environmental extremists who view The United States As a deeply racist nation.
MoveOn.org. This group help promote Democrat candidates.
The Tides Foundation: Funnels Soros money to dozens of other left wing groups.
And the list goes on and on and on.
Click on the link below for the entire list of George Soros funded left-wing groups and see for yourself.
Well guys, we've been at it a week now and so far so good.
And since my old self is worn out and too tired to come up with anything interesting to write about tonight anyway I figured we may as well just stick to the Open Blog Friday.
It's a good chance to get reaquainted and to blow off a little steam.
So you might as well jump in there and get after it.
Stay safe and be well, my friends...

There's so many things wrong with this country today it's hard to know where to even start.
I guess I could start by reminding you guys about Obama's"LIE OF THE YEAR" where he repeatedly promised us that if we liked our healthcare insurance and our doctors we could keep them both.
We all know how that turned out.
I could remind you of when Nancy Pelosi made her bizarre claim that passing Obabacare would create 4 million jobs and that 400,000 of them would be created almost immediately. (See today's lead video)
It turns out her lie was almost as big a lie as Obama's was.
According to the CBO report released yesterday there will be 2.5 million fewer jobs within the next ten years as a direct result of the Obamacare lie that was shoved down our throats.
But hey, the Obama people have made it perfectly clear they don't care about no stinkin lies.
In Obama's America 26-year-old's are still considered 'children' and they can stay put on mommy and daddy's healthcare policies.
Well, the one's who's parents still happen to be married, have jobs, and haven't had their insurance policies cancelled as a direct result of the Obamacare lies have that option.
The rest of them?
Well, they're screwed.
They're required by law to pay higher premiums so that millions of older Americans and the ever growing number of American free loaders can receive their government sanctioned, rationed, and subidized healthcare.
With a rock solid plan like that what could possibly go wrong?
I'd say I feel sorry for them but people in their age group voted overwhelmingly for the Hope and Change slogan Obama sold them.
Suck it up, children. You got what you voted for.
Oh, don't even bother getting in my face about calling them children either.
Take a look for yourself at the ads the Obama administration is running (see today's second, third, and fourth videos) to reach out to them.
They look more like something you'd see aimed at a bunch of second graders.
No longer are we a nation of laws.
The people of Arizona decided they wanted to do something about securing their wide open border with Mexico.
We'll destroy you in court, says Obama and his hitman, Eric Holder.
The people of Kansas and other states decided they really liked the idea of showing a simple photo ID when casting a vote.
That's racist and we'll destroy you in court, says Obama and his hitman, Eric Holder.
The people of many states all across the country made it perfectly clear they wanted marriage to be a marriage between one man and one woman.
That's homophobic and we'll destroy you in court, says Obama and his hitman, Eric Holder.
However, the people of Colorado and Washington decided they really liedtheir pot.
Cool, we'll just look the other way, says Obama and his hitman,Eric Holder.
No doubt about it. The inmates have definitely taken over the asylum...

Liberals crack me up.
They go on and on about how everything they do, say and believe in is based on sound scientific principles.
They yell at the top of their lungs about the global warming that's going to kill us all.
And even though not a single one of their doom and gloom, end of the world predictions have ever come true they claim it's settled science.
Period. End of story.
They've fought tooth and nail for the last five and a half years to stop the Keystone Pipeline dead in it's tracks because, well, because the science was on their side.
At least they thought it was.
Late last week the State Department released it's long awaited scientific based Environment Impact Report concerning the pipeline project and it the liberals mad as hell about it.
It more or less debunked the notion that moving 830,000 barrels of oil a day through the pipeline wold dramatically increase greenhouse emmisions.
The report pointed out that using alternate modes of transportation such as rail, trucks and barges would generate about 30% more greenhouse emmisions that the pipelineever would.
The liberals yelled and screamed about the potential environmental disaster from a spill.
But according to the report using the alternative modes of transportation pose a much greater risk to the environment.
Now that the scientific evidence has been presented and a consensus has been reached they'd be happy.
Wrong.
Like everything else liberal they're all loving and supportive as long as it goes their way.
They're turning their back on the very science they've held up as a symbol of truth and righteousness all their lives and are now calling for wide spread civil disobedience.
Face it libs, you're on the wrong side of history.
More and more people are waking up to the fact that your entire global warming hysteria is a scam.
But hey, good luck with that whole civil disobedience thing.
