After the Super Sh*t Show at half-time, let's move on...and Rush Limbaugh...

pointing out the problems with the half-time show is an exercise in futility when it comes to the commie/libtards.

Conservatives don't need to be told about the problems.

After the Super Bowl show highlighting "women's empowerment" (that's sarcasm for those of you who don't know me) I'd much rather listen to the voice of reason in the following video.

Moving on:

Hannity interviewed Donald Trump before the Super Bowl.



State of Union

Tomorrow Trump will deliver his State of the Union address. I'm looking forward to listening to the best president this country has ever had.

Commie Caucus

The commie's are gathering in Iowa today to fight over which commie should be president.

Nature vs Nurture

Nature vs nurture is an ongoing question which is being more fully investigated by scientists.

I just started re-reading a book by Benjamin Hardy, PhD, Willpower Doesn't Work: Discover the Hidden Keys to Success.  I read it about a week ago, and feel the need to re-visit and make some notes.

Let me first clarify that "success" in this book does not refer to making a wad of money, or any of the other "new age" type measures for success. 

A large part of the book focuses on environment shaping your actions and thoughts.  I've long believed that the people with whom you associate dictate what you believe.  I've also believed that actions dictate your thoughts rather than the "thinking your way to a better life" mantra.  

For some reason (unknown to me) before purchasing the book, I struggled with my "feelings" toward Dr. Hardy. I liked his articles on his site, so it must have just been his appearance and possibly his voice. Since feelings are not always a good basis for making decisions, I decided to wade in and see what he had to say.

It turns out he had a lot to say - and the majority of it good.

Between James Clear's Atomic Habits, Benjamin Hardy's Willpower Does't Work, and Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up I think most people can reshape their lives to honor their higher self and in doing so honor God.

Window's 7

I'm being threatened on a daily basis with dire consequences over Window's 7, which I currently run on my computer, being kicked to the curb.

My guru did a remote last night to install Window's 10. It was a fail and so I have to take my computer in for the update. We also decided to have him build a brand new desktop for hubby who needs his computer for business.  About 3am I was jolted awake when I realized that disconnecting my computer would also throw hubby offline.  Oooops!

We also want to see the State of the Union address. We don't have cable so it means the upgrade will be delayed by a few days.

Rush Limbaugh

Rush announced just moments ago that he has advanced lung cancer.  We owe him for the groundbreaking talk radio that keeps us sane through these difficult times.

Do I need to warn you that the commie/libtard comments will be horrific?  There's lots of people I hold in utter contempt, but I would never, never wish death to anyone or hope that they would "burn in hell."  To hope for such a outcome is a perversion of the Virtue of Hope.  I wish for everyone to repent and spend eternity with God. 

Please pray for him as he endures treatment.

Have I gone mad?...

possibly.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

We could call the following deju vu all over again.  I had to witness this commie crapola the first time it rolled around and to have to see Bernie Sanders singing the commie national anthem is mind boggling.

And then there's that thing with the shaming flyer the Cruz campaign purportedly sent to people in Iowa.  What in hell was his campaign staff thinking, or not thinking?

It reads:

“Your individual voting history as well as your neighbors’ are public record,” the flier read. “Their scores are published below, and many of them will see your score as well. CAUCUS ON MONDAY TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE and please encourage your neighbors to caucus as well. A follow-up notice may be issued following Monday’s caucuses.”

I don't know about you, but if I received that, I'd be mad as hell. 

I understand the Cruz campaign has admitted to sending them.

It's time to take a break everyone.  Tomorrow is the Iowa caucus.  Take a deep breath, sit back, and try to enjoy today.

I woke up this morning with this rattling through my little pea brain:

Macbeth: 

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19–28

It's Caucus day in Iowa...

and here's what a few people have to say.

But first - exactly what is a caucus?  Fox has a simple summation:

What Is a Caucus and How Does It Work?

Here's what some folks have to say about the goings on today in Iowa:

Jamie Jeffords, over at Eye of Polyphemus, has some Iowa Predictions

DaTechGuy says:   The first day that actually counts in Iowa

Me?  No comment on Iowa.  Instead allow me to direct your attention to Reaganite Republican who has something to say about Romney - and we thank him.   As I said yesterday, the two most important things that have to take place in the next four years after the election are:  Repeal Obamacare and secure the border.  Will Romney repeal Obamacare?  I doubt it and so does RR. 

Only the Delusional Believe Mitt Romney Would Ever Actually Repeal Obamacare

 

 

This whole election process is really starting to grate...

on what's left of my nerves.

What's going to happen is going to happen and I can't peruse one more poll.  Who the heck is polled anyway?  Nobody ever asked me to answer any poll questions.  How about you?  I think it's just a bunch of made up malarkey to keep everyone riled up and nervous....or a possible distraction from what's really going on behind the scenes.

I think ol' Mitt has been hand-picked to be the nominee and no amount of squealing is going to change the outcome.  And you know what?  It really makes no difference which of the possible nominees is elected in November.  It only matters that he/she is elected and we have control of the congress.  

The two important outcomes from running Obama out of Washington need to absolutely be the repeal of Obamacare, and securing the border.  After the repeal of Obamacare is accomplished, we can start to make the real and fairly simple changes to our health insurance system, such as:

1. Allow real competition in the insurance business by allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines. 
2. Separate insurance from employment.  Your health insurance should belong to you and not be some perk of your job. Why should a manufacturer of widgets spend tens of thousands of dollars per year dealing with your health insurance?  How about he save that money and pay you a higher wage?
3. A return to the concept of lower cost catastrophic policies.  Have a hangnail or the sniffles?  Pay for your appointment, hopefully at low cost clinics that will spring up.
4. Tort reform, tort reform, tort reform.
5. Remove the needless and burdensome mandates imposed by the government.

Sound too simplistic?  It's not.  Learn what the insurance actuaries already know.  For instance, the chances of your child having an expensive disease are almost nil.  But you pay hundreds of dollars per month "just in case", and brag that when your child is treated for a cold it's "free."  No, its not "free."   It costs you a lot of money every month to pay for a couple of appointments per year that should have set you back no more than hundred dollars, or perhaps nothing at all if you'd simply called your mom and asked her what to do.  But, but, but, you say - what if my child were to get some really awful disease?  That's exactly what the catastrophic policy is for.  It's to cover you if a catastrophe happens.

Now you're thinking the insurance company is pocketing all this extra money.  Well, no they're not.  They're paying for the mandates the governments impose on the insurance companies.  Explain to me why in hell the government is telling a private company what they can sell?  So those hundreds of dollars are going to pay for things such as gastric bypass surgeries, penile implants, in vitro fertilization, and any number of things that you don't need or want for someone you don't know or care about.  Make sense? 

Those mandates mean that if you are in a state such as Minnesota, with somewhere around sixty-three mandates, your insurance costs will be much higher.  Want a bare-bones catastrophic policy?  Too bad!  You'll take what the government said you must take, no never mind that you don't want any of what is being served up in their carp sandwich.

The very people who demand all these mandates become the very people that complain about robber baron insurance companies.  But no one ever accused a liberal/progressive/socialist of thinking things through. 

How about securing the border?

Do I really need to explain this to my readers?  Of course not...
