The late penalty that doomed the Bengals was provoked by a Steelers coach illegally on the field

In thinking back on that game, there was a lot of action on the field by players not in the game, spectators, and various coaches.

That’s just not right. 

Seems like we need a rule like hockey’s third man in rule. I’d keep the coaches, bystanders, and not-in-the-game players off the field. Like a TWO game misconduct! 

Sorry, but “the game” is sacrosanct. What the players do is what should matter; not anything else.

The various administrators of the game should take steps to protect the integrity of the game.

Basketball coaches are restricted to their “box”.

Ditto for the other sports.

Argh!

POLITICAL: The minimum wage is discrimination against minority youths

Minimum Wage Dishonesty
By Walter E. Williams
January 12, 2016

*** begin quote ***

During South Africa’s apartheid era, the secretary of its avowedly racist Building Workers’ Union, Gert Beetge, said, “There is no job reservation left in the building industry, and in the circumstances, I support the rate for the job (minimum wage) as the second-best way of protecting our white artisans.” The South African Economic and Wage Commission of 1925 reported that “while definite exclusion of the Natives from the more remunerative fields of employment by law has not been urged upon us, the same result would follow a certain use of the powers of the Wage Board under the Wage Act of 1925, or of other wage-fixing legislation. The method would be to fix a minimum rate for an occupation or craft so high that no Native would be likely to be employed.”

*** end quote ***

Walter Williams is among my favorite author / economists.

He often drives a metaphorical dagger into the hearts of the phony liberals, politicians, and bureaucrats!

In this specific case, the “minimum wage”.

The liberal politicians use it to demonstrate how much they care about the poor. All they care about is getting their votes.

I can’t think of a more destructive diktat then this.

I learned this lesson when the rising Federal minimum wage “forced” AT&T to automate all their elevators. While some of the all women elevator force were able to be placed in other higher skilled jobs, many were not and were fired. I know one personally who never worked again because the minimum wage cost more than she could produce. 

Anecdotal? Sure. But that doesn’t make it real.

Look at the black youth unemployment rate and tell me that isn’t real either.

Argh!

HEALTH: Hot dogs are a disaster

Wednesday, January 13, 2016

http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/hot-dogs-can-be-a-risk-factor-for-your-health/

Hot Dogs: Questions and Answers
by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM
Published on December 22, 2015, Last Updated on December 14, 2015

Consuming Hot Dogs Can Be Harmful to Your Health

*** begin quote ***

Multiple studies have determined that consumption of hot dogs can be a risk factor for childhood cancer.

Peters et al studied the relationship between the intake of certain foods and the risk of leukemia in children from birth to age 10 in Los Angeles County between 1980 and 1987. The study found that children who ate more than twelve hot dogs per month had nine times the normal risk of developing childhood leukemia. 

*** end quote ***

I love bacon and I ate hot dogs.

Remember that old quote that “Swift once bragged that his slaughterhouses had become so sophisticated that they used “everything but the squeal.”? 

Since I’ve retired, probably starting back when I became “old” somehow, and started dating a pescatarian, I’ve been working on my diet. This story about nitrites didn’t surprise me. 

Thanks to Weekly NutritionFacts.org Videos by Michael Greger, M.D. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-bacon-good-or-is-spinach-bad/ I knew that cured meats — like bacon, ham and hot dogs — were killers and why.

That’s not to say I don’t fall off the wagon with bacon or hot dogs or other meats.

But maybe the sauerkraut on the hot dog helps?

Boy, I miss them.

However, if I want to live to a 1,000, bye bye everything but fruit, nuts, and plants. 

Laff, when I’m diagnosed as terminal, BOY! am I going to enjoy that time.

Sigh!

Till then, no fun eating.

INSPIRATIONAL: Alabama / Clemson game last night was stunning

Tuesday, January 12, 2016

Alabama’s Nick Saban makes his case as greatest coach in college football history

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/14553660/alabama-nick-saban-makes-case-greatest-coach-college-football-history

# – # – # – # – # 

I watched that game and it was a great one.

Unlike the Cincinnati Begals game, BOTH teams showed great discipline. Especially in the late Fourth Quarter.

The issue was settled when Alabama had an 11 point lead, but they couldn’t sit on it. Clemson was competitive.

Bottom line: Alabama’s onside kick worked and Clemson’s didn’t.

The difference? Alabama did it when it was not expected.

I thought the Alabama use of the Tight End was devastating. The game plan must have been thought up by a trickster. 

Great game by both teams. Shame someone had to lose. Made you see why they were #1 and #2.

Well done. Great TV.

TINFOILHAT: Did Hitler escape to Argentina?

Tuesday, January 12, 2016

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3390687/Hola-Hitler-Ex-CIA-agent-claims-Nazi-leader-faked-death-flew-Tenerife-escaping-Argentina-U-Boat.html

Hola Hitler! Ex CIA agent claims Nazi leader faked his death and flew to Tenerife before escaping to Argentina on a U-Boat

  • Ex-CIA agent Bob Baer does not believe Hitler’s death story is conclusive
  • Baer, a spy for 21 years, said Hitler could have easily faked his death
  • Newly declassified FBI documents suggest he could have got to Tenerife
  • Other documents claim the Nazi leader made it to Argentina by submarine 

By DARREN BOYLE FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 11:59 EST, 8 January 2016 | UPDATED: 14:40 EST, 8 January 2016

*** begin quote ***

During the controversial documentary series, Baer claims: ‘The narrative the government gives us is a lie. if you look at the FBI files it throws open the investigation.

‘What we are doing is re-examining history, history that we thought was settled that Hitler died in the bunker but the deeper we get into it, it’s clear to me we don’t have any facts for it.’

One of the declassified documents expresses concern that Hitler’s body had not been recovered and the complete lack of evidence of his death.

The controversial theory claims that Hitler flew to the Canary Island and boarded a U-Boat which transported him to a Nazi-friendly area of Argentina.  

*** end quote ***

“Why does it matter?” to quote a certain Presidential candidate.

I think it matters BECAUSE the Gooferment classified all the documentation and told lies for other purposes. 

Think all the German rocket scientists that were “acquired”.

Cui bono? The CIA in the new Cold War that keeps “We, The Sheeple” fearful and needing the Gooferment to protect the flock?

And, the Gooferment can’t have anyone believe that the Chief Villain in this costly war got away scott free.

Argh!

And, most importantly, since I believe that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy. One should take anything that we are told with a huge dose of skepticism.

GUNS: Two legged varmints get away with robbery

Shock Surveillance Footage Shows Couple Being Stalked and Ambushed in Upscale Atlanta Neighborhood
Jan. 8, 2016 10:25am Kate Scanlon

# – # – # – # – # 

The victims showed very little situational awareness.

I’d like to think that if they’d had guns they’d be more aware of their surroundings.

The world is vicious violent place out there. And, we need to cleanse the gene pool of the two legged varmints that prey on the average person. 

I’m sure there’d be a wail that they were just “misguided”.

Forewarned is forearmed. 

Molon labe. 

Defense is not possible without Constitutional Carry.

Maybe then the streets will be safe again for honest people.

RANT: The Law of Karma

Sunday, January 10, 2016

2016-Jan-10

http://espn.go.com/blog/pittsburgh-steelers/post/_/id/17345/steelers-leave-cincinnati-bruised-battered-and-alive-in-afc-playoffs

Steelers leave Cincinnati bruised, battered — and alive in AFC playoffs

# – # – # – # – # 

Did the “gods of football” deliver Karmic justice to the Cincinnati fans for booing and throwing garbage on Pittsburgh Steeler QB Big Ben when he was taken off injured?

And, to reinforce the lesson, those same “gods of football” did it by befogging the brains of the Cincinnati defense. 

How does that line go?

“Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.” — Euripides

I always thought it meant “crazy”, but last night I got the true meaning.

A true champion respects his opponent; because in the end, our true opponent is ourselves.

Last night demonstrated that to any who watched.

Well done, “gods of football” for demonstrating STARKLY the Law of Karma — what goes around, comes around.

Usually, exponentially worse.

So, be careful what you wish for others, you might get it back — bigger and harder.

Wow!

And remember the old Cincinnati coach’s quote that was on the locker room scroll: “The key to winning is poise under stress.”

Guess no one read that one!

GUNS: 65-year-old grandmother didn’t have time to think

Sunday, January 10, 2016

Grandmother, 65, says she shot man who tried to mug her
By MARK HAYWARD New Hampshire Union Leader 

*** begin quote ***

MANCHESTER — A 65-year-old grandmother said she didn’t have time to think when she pulled out her .32-caliber handgun and shot a man who tried to mug her outside her south Manchester apartment building late Monday night.

*** end quote ***

This is quite educational.

“God made men and women; Sam colt made them equal.” — Unknown

The mugger was a foot taller and 100 pound heavier male.

Anytime the Gooferment tries to limit “guns”, think of all the women out there who could have used one.

Self-defense is a God given universal right.

And, the police took her gun as “evidence”. Argh! Luckily, she had good neighbor who loaned her another.

Why is a “license” required for any kind of carry?

Have some work to do in NH.

LIBERTY: The NLRB unconstitutional defines what is sufficiently Catholic

Saturday, January 9, 2016

http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/CatholicEducationDaily/DetailsPage/tabid/102/ArticleID/4595/Opinion-Major-Issues-We%E2%80%99re-Following-in-Catholic-Education-in-2016.aspx

Opinion: Major Issues We’re Following in Catholic Education in 2016
January 4, 2016, at 4:00 PM  |  By Adam Cassandra, Justin Petrisek, Kimberly Scharfenberger

*** begin quote ***

9.  NLRB Exposing Catholic Identity Concerns

The number of Catholic colleges challenging the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) continues to grow. The problems with this trend are twofold: One, the NLRB is exercising unconstitutional government oversight in attempting to determine whether or not a college is sufficiently Catholic; and two, the test applied to the colleges is exposing major Catholic identity concerns. Colleges opposing NLRB rulings now include Carroll College, Duquesne University, Manhattan College, Saint Xavier University, Seattle University and Loyola University Chicago.

In the Newman Society’s amicus brief opposing the NLRB harassment, attorneys for Alliance Defending Freedom stated:

Religious organizations have the right of autonomy over their internal governance, the right to be treated the same as all other religious groups and denominations by the government, and the right to be free from government meddling and intrusion in their operations and beliefs.

*** end quote ***

First, they come for the Catholic Schools?

Remember Gooferment Skrules are deliberately creating cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite.

They promote and propagandize the greatest of the State who solves all problems. Worship the Earth because there can’t be any God. It might limit the State which is the current God of Man.

Argh!

Dumb.

But, how do we get “We, The Sheeple” to stop it?

imho, the thing will eventually collapse under its own weight. 

Look at how much it costs. Look at how the Teacher’s Union protects it and Big Gooferment. Look at the terrible results it produces.

The minute that the Black minority realizes how they have been screwed by the Gooferment Skrules, then things will change.

Wise up people.

Factoid: The only President that send his child to a Gooferment Skrule was Jimmy Carter. Why doesn’t anyone else? Why should anyone else?

Argh!

POLITICAL: Tom Woods destroys the JFK mythology

Friday, January 8, 2016

http://tomwoods.com/podcast/ep-562-the-real-jfk-the-fed-the-economy-and-more/

In a forty five minute podcast, Tom Woods destroys the JFK mythology.

Especially in vogue today, is an assertion that the JFK assasination was partially due to his opposition to the FED.  Tom destroys that illusion.

Well worth a listen in my opinion.
